It did not fit. + +"Maybe it is for ice cream," Ben said. He tried to scoop the spoon in the bowl, but it was too hard. It did not dig. + +"Maybe it is for cake," Lily said.

They decided to ask their mom. + +"Mom, what is this spoon for?" they asked, holding up the spoon. + +Mom smiled. She took the spoon from them and said, "This is not a spoon, my loves. This is a ladle. It is for pouring sauce or gravy over your food. It is very useful, but not for playing. Let me show you how it works." + +Mom took the ladle and poured some sauce over their chicken and rice. Lily and Ben watched with curiosity. They saw how the ladle made the food look more tasty and moist. They wanted to try it too. + +"Can we use the ladle, mom?" they asked. + +"Sure, you can," mom said. "But be careful, it is hot. And only use a little bit, or you will make a mess." + +Lily and Ben took turns using the ladle. They poured sauce over their food and over each other's food. They giggled and enjoyed their meal.

"I touched it first!" + +They quarrel and pull the pumpkin from each other. They are not happy and not nice. + +A bird is watching them from a tree. He feels sorry for them and flies down to talk to them. + +"Why are you quarreling?" he asks. "The pumpkin is big enough for both of you. You can share it and be friends." + +Anna and Ben look at the bird and then at each other. They feel ashamed and sorry. + +"You are right, bird," Anna says. "We should share and be friends. I am sorry, Ben." + +"I am sorry, too, Anna," Ben says. "We can take the pumpkin home and make a pie together." + +They hug and smile. They thank the bird and carry the pumpkin to Anna's house.

Let's jump in the puddle." + +But Spot does not want to jump in the puddle. She does not like water. She thinks it is wet and cold. She says to Mia, "No, Mia. I don't want to jump in the puddle. I want to stay dry. You are bossy. You can't make me jump in the puddle." + +Mia is sad. She does not want to be bossy. She wants to play with Spot. She says to Spot, "I'm sorry, Spot.

The end. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a huge truck that he liked to drive around. Lily had a box of matches that she found in the kitchen. She wanted to make a fire with them. + +"Look, Ben, I have matches!" Lily said, holding up a match. "I can make a fire like daddy does on the grill." + +"No, Lily, that's bad!" Ben said, grabbing the match from her. "Matches are not for playing. They are for grown-ups. They can hurt you and burn the house." + +Lily was angry. She wanted to play with the matches. She tried to get the match back from Ben, but he was stronger. They started to fight over the match. They pulled and pushed and yelled. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mommy said, coming into the living room. She saw the match in Ben's hand and the box of matches on the floor. She was scared and angry. She took the match and the box from them and put them away. "What are you doing? You could have started a fire! You could have hurt yourselves and each other! You are both in big trouble!" + +Ben and Lily felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. They looked at each other and said sorry. + +"Sorry, Ben. I was silly. I should not have played with the matches." + +"Sorry, Lily. I was mean. I should not have fought with you." + +Mommy saw that they were sorry. She hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are sorry. I love you both. But you have to be careful and listen to me.

Thank you for keeping us safe." + +Mommy smiled and said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I forgive you. Now, how about we play something else?

She hugs him and kisses him and tells him it is okay. She asks him what happened. Tom tells her about the dinosaur and the bite. + +Mom is angry at the dinosaur.

They can run very fast and bite very hard. We have to be careful and respect them," mom says. + +"But they look so lazy and sleepy. They are just lying in the water. They don't care about us," Ben says. + +"That's not true, Ben. Hippos are very smart and strong. They can hear and smell us very well. They can also come out of the water very quickly.

Tom picked it up and showed it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily, I found a carrot!" he said. + +Lily looked at the carrot and smiled. She liked carrots. They were crunchy and sweet. + +"Can we eat it, Tom?" she asked. + +Tom nodded. He was hungry too. He broke the carrot in half and gave one piece to Lily. They both took a bite and made a loud crunch. + +But someone else heard the crunch. It was Mr. Rabbit, who lived in a hole under the fence. He was grumpy because he had not found any carrots for his lunch. He poked his head out of the hole and saw Tom and Lily eating his carrot. + +"Hey, you two, that's my carrot!" he shouted. "Give it back to me!" + +Tom and Lily were surprised. They did not know that the carrot belonged to Mr. Rabbit. They felt sorry for him, but they also liked the carrot. + +"Sorry, Mr. Rabbit, we did not know," Tom said. "But we are hungry too. Can we share the carrot with you?" + +Mr. Rabbit thought for a moment. He was still grumpy, but he also saw that Tom and Lily were nice and polite. He decided to be nice too. + +"Okay, fine, you can share the carrot with me," he said. "But next time, ask me first, okay?" + +Tom and Lily agreed. They gave Mr. Rabbit the rest of the carrot and thanked him. Mr. Rabbit ate the carrot and felt better. He smiled and invited Tom and Lily to play with him in his hole. They all became friends and had fun. +Lily was sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. Mommy gave her some water and a pill to make her feel better.

You need to rest in bed," Mommy said. + +"But I want to play with my toys," Lily said. She felt sad and bored. + +"I know, sweetie, but you have to rest so you can get well soon.

She read about a princess and a dragon and a brave knight. Lily listened and smiled. She felt a little better. + +Mommy kissed Lily's forehead. "You are a good girl, Lily. I love you very much. Now, try to sleep, okay?" Mommy said. + +"Okay, Mommy. I love you too. Thank you for the story," Lily said. She closed her eyes and cuddled with her teddy bear. She rested and dreamed of happy things. +Tom is a boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a lot of cars, trains, and planes that he can zoom and crash. He does not like to learn new things. He thinks they are hard and boring. + +One day, his mom tells him that he has to meet a tutor. A tutor is a person who helps you learn new things. Tom does not want to meet the tutor. He wants to play with his toys. He says, "No, no, no!" + +But his mom says, "Yes, yes, yes! You have to meet the tutor. He will help you read and write and count. These are important things to know. They will make you smart and healthy." + +Tom does not listen. He runs to his room and grabs his favorite toy. It is a big, red fire truck. He squeezes it hard and makes a loud siren sound.

Don't you want to be a hero too?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes heroes. He likes to save people and animals. He likes to be cool and brave and helpful.

Maybe he can be my friend." + +He loosens his grip on his fire truck and says, "Okay, okay, okay. You can see my fire truck. But you have to be careful. It is my favorite toy." + +The tutor says, "Thank you, Tom. I will be careful. I promise. And I will also teach you how to read and write and count. These are fun and easy things to learn.

Timmy said goodbye to his friends and went back to his house. He was happy that he got to spend the day outside with his friends, even though it was hot. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and her friends. One day, Lily went to a race with her family. She watched the runners run really fast and cheered them on. + +At the end of the race, the runners got medals. A medal is like a shiny necklace that shows you did a good job. Lily saw a man get a medal and she nodded her head to show she was happy for him. + +After the race, Lily and her family went to a park. There were lots of people there and everyone was busy. Some people were playing games, some were eating food, and some were just sitting and talking. Lily played with her friends and had lots of fun. She was very busy too! +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a charming smile and loved to play in the park. One day, she decided to wander around the park and explore. As she was walking, she found a leather ball lying on the ground. It was a beautiful brown color and felt smooth to the touch. + +Lily picked up the ball and started to play with it. She bounced it up and down and kicked it around. Suddenly, a group of children came over and asked if they could play too. Lily was happy to share and they all played together with the leather ball. + +After a while, it was time for Lily to go home. She said goodbye to her new friends and walked back home with the leather ball in her hand. When she got home, she showed her mom the charming leather ball she found in the park. Her mom smiled and said it was a great find. Lily was happy and went to bed dreaming of all the fun she would have with her new ball. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. One day, Lily and her mom went to the market. Lily saw lots of fruits and vegetables there. She asked her mom, "What is this?" Her mom replied, "This is a tomato." + +Lily was curious and asked her mom, "Can you teach me how to cook with tomatoes?" Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, I can teach you how to make tomato sauce." + +As they walked through the market, they saw a mysterious man selling colorful stones. Lily asked her mom, "Who is that man?" Her mom said, "He is a seller. He sells stones that are very pretty." + +Lily was fascinated by the stones and asked the man, "Can you teach me how to find these stones?" The man smiled and said, "Yes, I can teach you how to find them in the river." Lily was very happy and thanked the man. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She lived in a house with a big door. One day, Lily's mom went out to buy groceries and told her to remain inside the house. Lily played with her toys and waited for her mom to come back. + +Suddenly, she heard a loud noise outside the door. She got scared and ran to hide under the bed. After a while, she peeked out from under the bed and saw that it was just the postman delivering a package. Lily felt grateful that it wasn't something scary. + +When her mom came back, Lily told her about the noise and how she remained hidden under the bed. Her mom hugged her and said she was grateful that Lily was safe. From that day on, Lily made sure to always lock the door when her mom went out. +Once upon a time, there was a big man. He had a pistol that was very heavy. One day, he went for a walk in the forest. He heard a noise and looked around. He saw a little rabbit. The rabbit was scared and ran away. The man felt bad for scaring the rabbit and put his heavy pistol away. From that day on, he promised to be kind to all the animals in the forest. +Once upon a time, there was a famous superhero named Lightning. One day, Lightning's archenemy, a mean villain, stole something very important from Lightning's city. Lightning knew he had to stop the villain and get the thing back. + +So, Lightning sent a message to all his superhero friends for help. They all came together to make a plan to catch the villain. They decided to use Lightning's super-fast speed to chase after the villain. + +After a long chase, they finally caught the villain and got the important thing back. Lightning and his friends celebrated their victory with a big party. Everyone was happy and Lightning became even more famous for saving the day. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. Lily had a brother named Max who was very sweet. They loved to play together and have fun. One day, Max went to visit his grandma and Lily missed him so much. She waited and waited for him to come home but he didn't. + +Lily asked her mom where Max was and her mom told her that he was still at grandma's house. Lily felt sad because she wanted to play with her sweet brother. She decided to draw a picture for him to show how much she missed him. + +A few days later, Max came back from grandma's house and Lily was so happy to see him. She gave him the picture and he loved it. They hugged each other and played together again. Lily was happy to have her sweet brother back home. +Anna wanted to watch TV. She liked the show with the pink pig and the funny duck. But her brother Ben was watching something else. He liked the show with the big cars and the loud noises. Anna asked him to change the channel, but he said no. He said he was older and he could choose. + +Anna was sad. She sighed. She looked for something else to do. She saw her toys on the floor. She had a doll, a ball, a puzzle, and a book. But she did not want to play with them. She wanted to watch TV. + +She went to her mom. She said, "Mom, can I watch TV? Ben is watching something else. I don't like it." Her mom smiled. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. But there is only one TV in the house. And Ben has the remote. You have to wait your turn. Why don't you play with your toys? They are available. They are fun." + +Anna sighed again. She did not think her toys were fun. She thought they were boring. She went back to her room. She sat on her bed. She looked at the wall. She wished she had another TV. Or another brother. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big box that they pretended was a car. They took turns driving and honking. + +"Beep beep! Where are we going, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"We are going to the market, Ben. We need to buy some carrots for our soup," Lily said. + +"Carrots? I don't like carrots. They are not yummy," Ben said. + +"Yes, they are, Ben. They are good for you. They make your eyes bright and your teeth strong," Lily said. + +They arrived at the market and got out of the box. They saw a stall with many vegetables. They saw red tomatoes, green cucumbers, yellow corn, and orange carrots. + +"Look, Ben, there are the carrots. Let's get some," Lily said. + +She picked up a bunch of carrots and gave them to Ben. + +"Here, Ben, you hold these. They are not heavy," she said. + +Ben took the carrots and felt them. They were smooth and hard. He smelled them. They had a sweet and earthy smell. + +"Maybe they are not so bad," he thought. + +They paid the seller and got back in the box. They drove home and gave the carrots to their mom. + +"Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are such good helpers. I will make a yummy soup with these carrots. Do you want to help me?" their mom asked. + +"Yes, please, mom. We want to help," Ben and Lily said. + +They washed the carrots and peeled them. They cut them into small pieces and put them in a pot with water and salt. They added some onion, garlic, and parsley. They stirred the soup and waited for it to boil. + +"Wow, it smells good, mom. Can we taste it?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben. But be careful, it's hot. Blow on it first," their mom said. + +She gave them each a spoonful of soup. They blew on it and tasted it. + +"Mmm, it's yummy, mom. I like it," Lily said. + +"Me too, mom. It's yummy. I like carrots now," Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged their mom. They enjoyed their soup and ate all the carrots. They were happy and full. +Anna was sad. She did not have any friends to play with. She looked out the window and saw the cold snow. She wanted to go outside and make a snowman, but she had no one to help her. + +She put on her coat and boots and went to the yard. She saw a big pile of snow. She started to pick up some snow and roll it into a ball. She made a big ball for the snowman's body. Then she made a smaller ball for the head. She put the head on top of the body. + +She looked for something to make the snowman's face. She saw a carrot on the ground. She picked it up and stuck it in the snowman's head for a nose. She found two rocks and used them for eyes. She found a stick and used it for a mouth. She smiled at her snowman. He looked funny. + +She heard a voice behind her. "Hi, can I play with you?" She turned around and saw a boy from her street. He had a hat and a scarf and gloves. He looked friendly. + +"Hi, I'm Anna. This is my snowman. Do you want to help me make him a hat?" she asked. + +"Sure, I'm Ben. I like your snowman. He has a nice nose. Can we use this pine cone for a hat?" he said. + +They picked up the pine cone and put it on the snowman's head. They laughed. They made the snowman a scarf out of some leaves. They gave him some arms out of some twigs. They hugged their snowman. + +Anna was not sad anymore. She had a new friend to play with. She liked the cold snow. She was happy. +Ben and Lily are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They like to make them zoom and crash on the carpet. Ben has a red car and Lily has a blue car. They pretend that their cars have power and can do anything. + +"Look, my car can jump over the sofa!" Ben says, and makes his car fly in the air. + +"No, it can't! My car is faster and stronger!" Lily says, and chases Ben's car with her car. + +They start to argue and bump their cars into each other. They make loud noises and angry faces. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom says, coming into the room. "You are making too much noise and you are not sharing. You need to play nicely or I will take away your cars." + +Ben and Lily stop and look at Mom. They don't want to lose their cars. They like their cars. + +"Sorry, Mom," Ben says. + +"Sorry, Mom," Lily says. + +Mom smiles and says, "That's better. Why don't you try to play a different game with your cars? Maybe you can make them go on an adventure or help someone in trouble." + +Ben and Lily think for a moment. They like the idea of an adventure. They decide to make their cars go on a mission to find a hidden treasure. They use a pillow as a mountain, a blanket as a river, and a book as a map. They make their cars work together and have fun. + +"Look, we found the treasure!" Ben says, opening a box of cookies. + +"Yay, we did it!" Lily says, taking a cookie. + +They share the cookies and the power of their cars. They are happy and Mom is proud. +Lily and her mom were going to the airport. They had big bags and a small cat. Lily was anxious. She did not like flying. She did not like loud noises. She did not like strangers. + +"Mom, can we stay home?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, we have to go. We are going to see grandma and grandpa. They miss you very much. And you will like the plane. It is like a big bird. It will take us high in the sky," mom said. + +Lily was not sure. She held her cat tight. She looked out the window. She saw cars and buses and trucks. She saw people and signs and lights. She saw the airport. It was huge. It had many planes. Some were white, some were blue, some were red. Some were taking off, some were landing, some were waiting. + +"Look, Lily, there is our plane. It is blue and yellow. It has a smiley face on the tail. Do you see it?" mom said. + +Lily saw it. It was big and bright. It did have a smiley face. Lily smiled too. Maybe the plane was friendly. Maybe it would not be scary. + +They got out of the car. They took their bags and their cat. They walked to the airport. They showed their tickets and their passports. They put their bags on a belt. They went through a gate. They followed a lady. She took them to the plane. + +"Hello, welcome aboard. What is your name?" the lady asked Lily. + +"Lily," Lily said. + +"What a lovely name. And who is this?" the lady asked, pointing to the cat. + +"This is Fluffy. He is my best friend," Lily said. + +"He is very cute. Do you know what? He can sit with you on the plane. He has a special seat. Do you want to see it?" the lady asked. + +Lily nodded. She was curious. The lady showed her a small cage. It had a blanket and a bowl. It had a window and a door. It had a tag that said "Fluffy". + +"This is Fluffy's seat. He can see you and you can see him. He can drink water and eat food. He can sleep and play. He will be very comfortable. Do you want to put him in?" the lady asked. + +Lily hesitated. She did not want to leave Fluffy. She wanted to hold him. But she saw that the cage was nice. She saw that Fluffy would be safe. She saw that the lady was kind. + +"OK," Lily said. She kissed Fluffy and said "I love you". She opened the door and put him in. She closed the door and locked it. She poured some water in the bowl. She gave him a toy. She said "Be good". + +Fluffy meowed. He licked Lily's hand. He looked at her with big eyes. He said "I love you too". + +Lily smiled. She felt better. She took her mom's hand. They walked to their seats. They buckled their belts. They listened to the pilot. He said "Welcome aboard. We are ready to fly. Have a nice trip". + +Lily looked at Fluffy. He looked at her. They waved. They were ready to fly. They were not anxious anymore. They were excited. They were going to see grandma and grandpa. They were going to have fun. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to go to the mall with Mom. The mall has many shops and toys and people. Tom and Lily want to see everything. + +One day, Mom says, "Stay with me, please. The mall is big and busy. Do not run away." Tom and Lily nod. They follow Mom to the book shop. Mom looks at books. Tom and Lily look at books too. They see a book with a big red car. They want the book. + +But Mom says, "No, we have enough books at home. Let's go to another shop." Tom and Lily are sad. They do not want to go. They want the book. They see Mom walk away. They have an idea. They run to the book and grab it. They hide behind a shelf. They think Mom will not see them. + +But Mom sees them. She is angry and scared. She says, "Tom and Lily, come here now! You are naughty and silly. You cannot take things that are not yours. You could get lost or hurt. You have to follow me and listen to me. That is the rule. I love you and I want you to be safe." + +Tom and Lily are sorry. They drop the book and run to Mom. They hug her and say, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you too. We will follow you and listen to you. We do not need the book. We have each other." + +Mom smiles and hugs them back. She says, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are good and smart. You learned a lesson today. The mall is fun, but it is not a regular place. You have to be careful and respectful. You have to follow the rules. That is how you can enjoy the mall and be happy." +Sara and Tom were twins who lived near the sea. They liked to play on the sand and look at the boats. One day, they saw a big boat with many flags and people. They wondered who was on the boat and what they were doing. + +"Let's go and see the boat," Tom said. "Maybe they have toys and candy." + +"But we are not allowed to go near the water," Sara said. "Mom and Dad said it is dangerous." + +"Please, Sara, just for a little bit," Tom begged. "We will be careful and not go too close." + +Sara was scared, but she did not want to make Tom sad. She agreed to go with him, but she held his hand tightly. They walked along the shore until they reached the boat. They saw a man with a hat and a coat on the deck. He looked wealthy and important. + +"Hello, children," the man said. "What are you doing here?" + +"We just wanted to see your boat," Tom said. "It is very nice and big." + +"Thank you," the man said. "This is my boat. I travel around the world and see many things. Do you like the sea?" + +"Yes, we do," Sara said. "But we are not supposed to be here. We have to go back to our home." + +The man smiled and gave them each a shiny coin. "Here, take these as a gift. They are from a faraway land. But you are right, you should not stay here too long. The sea can be dangerous and you need to listen to your parents. They love you and want you to be safe." + +"Thank you, sir," Tom and Sara said. They put the coins in their pockets and ran back to their home. They told their parents about the boat and the man and showed them the coins. Their parents were surprised and happy, but also a little angry. + +"We are glad you met a nice man and got a gift, but you should never go near the water without us," their mom said. "The sea can be fun, but also scary. You could get hurt or lost." + +"We are sorry, Mom and Dad," Tom and Sara said. "We will not do it again. We love you and the sea." + +They hugged their parents and went to bed. They dreamed of the boat and the man and the coins. They wondered what other things the man had seen and where he was going next. They hoped to see him again someday. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys on the carpet. Anna has a doll and Ben has a truck. Anna likes to be bossy and tell Ben what to do. + +"Ben, give me your truck. I want to play with it," Anna says. + +"No, it's mine. You have your doll," Ben says. + +"But I like your truck. It's big and red. My doll is boring. Give it to me now," Anna says. + +She tries to grab the truck from Ben, but he holds on tight. They pull and tug and fight over the truck. Then they hear a loud snap. The truck breaks in half. Anna and Ben stop and look at the broken truck. They feel sad and sorry. + +"Look what you did. You broke my truck. It was my favorite toy," Ben says. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to break it. I was just being bossy. Can you forgive me?" Anna says. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He is still angry, but he also loves his sister. He decides to be kind and share. + +"It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. Maybe we can fix the truck later. Do you want to play with my half?" Ben says. + +Anna smiles and hugs Ben. She is happy that he is not mad at her. She takes his half of the truck and they play together on the carpet. They learn to be nice and take turns. They have fun with their toys. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a chubby dog with a red collar. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but be careful. He might bite," Tom said. + +They walked slowly to the dog. The dog ran to them and licked their faces. He was very friendly. Tom and Lily laughed and hugged the dog. + +"Hello, doggy. What is your name?" Lily said. + +The dog barked again. He seemed to say, "My name is Spot." + +Tom and Lily realized that the dog was lost. He had no owner. They looked around and saw a sign on a tree. The sign had a picture of the dog and some words. + +"Look, Lily. The sign says that Spot is missing. Someone is looking for him," Tom said. + +They read the phone number on the sign. They decided to call the number and tell them where Spot was. + +They found a phone near the park. They dialed the number and waited. + +"Hello?" a voice said. + +"Hello, we found Spot. He is in the park. He is a chubby dog with a red collar. He is very nice," Tom said. + +"Spot? You found Spot? Oh, thank you, thank you. We have been looking for him for days. He ran away from home. We miss him so much. Where are you? We will come and get him right away," the voice said. + +Tom told them where they were. They waited for Spot's owner to come. They played with Spot and gave him some water. They saw a car stop near the park. A man and a woman got out of the car. They looked happy and worried. + +"Spot! Spot! There you are. We are so glad you are safe. Thank you, kids, for finding him. You are very kind," the man said. + +He hugged Spot and put him in the car. The woman gave Tom and Lily a hug and a cookie. She thanked them again. + +"Bye, Spot. We are happy you found your home. We hope to see you again," Lily said. + +"Bye, kids. You are the best. We will never forget you," Spot barked. + +Tom and Lily waved goodbye to Spot and his owners. They felt good. They had helped a friend. They went back to the park and continued to play. They saw a motion in the bushes. They wondered what it was. Maybe another animal. Maybe another adventure. +Sara and Tom were playing in the snow. They saw a big reindeer with a red nose. The reindeer was pulling a sled with many colorful boxes. + +"Wow, look at that!" Sara said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Maybe it is Santa's reindeer," Tom said. "Do you think he has gifts for us?" + +"I don't know," Sara said. "But I want to see." + +She ran towards the reindeer. Tom followed her. + +"Wait, Sara!" Tom said. "Don't go too close. It might be scary." + +Sara did not listen. She wanted to touch the reindeer. She reached out her hand. + +"Hello, reindeer," she said. "You are so soft and warm." + +The reindeer looked at her and smiled. He did not mind. He liked Sara. + +"Hi, little girl," he said. "You are very brave. Do you want to ride on my sled?" + +Sara was surprised. The reindeer could talk! + +"Yes, please!" she said. "That would be fun!" + +She climbed on the sled. Tom was still afraid. + +"Sara, come back!" he said. "You don't know him. He might take you away." + +Sara shook her head. + +"No, Tom," she said. "He is nice. He is my friend. Don't be scared. Come with me." + +She held out her hand. Tom hesitated. He wanted to be brave too. He wanted to see the colorful boxes. + +He took a deep breath. He dared to take Sara's hand. He joined her on the sled. + +The reindeer laughed. + +"Good boy," he said. "You are brave too. Now, hold on tight. We are going for a ride." + +He gave a loud snort. He ran fast. The sled flew in the air. Sara and Tom squealed with joy. They saw the snow and the trees and the stars. They felt the wind and the cold and the warmth. They had the best time ever. They thanked the reindeer for the ride. + +The reindeer smiled. + +"You are welcome," he said. "You are very good children. I have a gift for each of you." + +He gave them each a colorful box. Sara and Tom opened them. They found toys and books and candy. They hugged the reindeer. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" they said. "You are the best reindeer ever!" + +The reindeer winked. + +"You are welcome, welcome, welcome!" he said. "You are the best children ever! Merry Christmas!" + +He waved goodbye. He flew away. Sara and Tom waved back. They ran home. They told their mom and dad about their adventure. They showed them their gifts. They were very happy. They never forgot the reindeer with the red nose. He never forgot them either. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big melon on the ground. It was green and round. + +"Let's rock the melon!" Ben said. He kicked the melon with his foot. It rolled a little bit. + +"Rock, rock, rock!" Lily said. She kicked the melon too. It rolled some more. + +They laughed and kicked the melon again and again. They did not see the fence behind them. + +CRASH! + +The melon hit the fence and broke. Juice and seeds came out. The fence was bent. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Lily said. They looked at the mess. + +"Who did this?" Mom said. She came out of the house. She saw the broken melon and the fence. + +"Ben and Lily, you are foolish!" Mom said. "You should not rock the melon. It is for eating, not for playing. And you should not break the fence. It is for keeping us safe, not for crashing. You are in trouble!" + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They said sorry to Mom. They helped her clean the mess. They learned not to rock the melon again. +Anna liked to play the piano. She was a musician. She learned songs from her mom and dad. They were musicians too. They had a big piano in the living room. It was brown and shiny. + +One day, Anna was sad. She missed her friend Lily. Lily moved to another house far away. Anna could not see her or play with her anymore. She felt lonely and cried. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to hug her. "What's wrong, my sweetie?" she asked. + +"I miss Lily. She was my best friend. We played and laughed and sang together. Now she is gone," Anna said. + +"I know, honey. I miss her too. She was a very nice girl. But you can still talk to her on the phone or write her a letter. And you can make new friends here. There are many nice kids in your school and in the park. You are a kind and smart and fun girl. Everyone likes you," her mom said. + +She kissed Anna's cheek and wiped her tears. "Do you want to play the piano with me? Music can make us feel better. It can comfort us when we are sad. It can also make us happy and excited. It can express our feelings and tell stories. Music is a wonderful thing," she said. + +Anna nodded and smiled. She liked music too. She followed her mom to the piano. They sat on the bench and played a song together. It was a song that Lily taught them. It was a song about friendship and love. Anna felt warm and cozy. She felt comforted by her mom and by the music. She thought of Lily and hoped she was happy too. She decided to call her later and tell her about the song. She was still sad, but she was also hopeful. She knew that music and friendship would always be in her heart. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big sack under a tree. They open the sack and see many books inside. + +"Wow, look at all these books!" Lily says. "Maybe we can read some." + +"OK, let's see what they have," Ben says. He picks up a book with a picture of a cat on the cover. He opens the book and sees many words. + +"Can you read this, Lily?" he asks. + +Lily looks at the book and shakes her head. "No, I can't. It has too many words. And some words are very long and hard. Like this one." She points to a word that says "poem". + +"What is a poem?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is something that rhymes. Like cat and hat. Or dog and log," Lily says. + +"Maybe we can make our own poem," Ben says. "It sounds fun." + +"OK, let's try," Lily says. They put the book down and think of words that rhyme. + +"I see a chubby bunny," Ben says. + +"He likes to eat some honey," Lily says. + +"They hop and run and play," Ben says. + +"They have a happy day," Lily says. + +They clap their hands and smile. They have made a poem. + +"That was fun. Let's make another one," Ben says. + +"OK, let's do it," Lily says. + +They pick up another book and look for more words that rhyme. They have fun making poems with the books in the sack. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. It was very high and steep. Lily wanted to try it, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go on the slide!" Lily said. + +"No, Lily, it's too high. I don't want to go," Ben said. + +"Are you a chicken, Ben? I dare you to go on the slide with me!" Lily said. + +Ben did not like to be called a chicken. He wanted to be brave. He took a deep breath and said, "OK, Lily, I'll go with you. But you have to go first." + +Lily smiled and ran to the slide. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. She looked down and saw Ben waiting for her. She waved at him and said, "Ready, Ben?" + +Ben nodded and climbed up the ladder. He sat behind Lily and held her hand. He felt his heart beating fast. He closed his eyes and said, "Ready, Lily." + +Lily pushed off and they slid down the slide. They went very fast and felt the wind in their hair. They screamed and laughed. They reached the bottom and rolled on the grass. They looked at each other and smiled. They were happy. + +They did it! They went on the big slide. They were not scared anymore. They were brave. They hugged each other and said, "That was fun, let's do it again!" +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of fun making a big hill with sand and rocks. They called it a volcano. + +"Look, Ben, I can lift this rock and put it on top of the volcano!" Anna said, showing off her strength. + +"Wow, Anna, you are very strong!" Ben said, admiring his sister. "Can I try too?" + +"Sure, Ben, but be careful. The rock is heavy and the volcano is high." Anna said, helping Ben to lift the rock. + +They worked together to lift the rock and place it on the volcano. They were very happy and proud of their creation. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise and saw smoke coming out of the volcano. They were scared and ran to their mom, who was watching them from the porch. + +"Mom, mom, the volcano is erupting!" they shouted, holding each other. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She explained that the noise and the smoke were from a firework that their dad had put inside the volcano as a surprise. He wanted to make their play more fun and exciting. + +"Wow, dad is so cool!" Ben said, clapping his hands. + +"Thank you, dad, that was awesome!" Anna said, jumping up and down. + +Dad came out of the house and joined them. He praised them for their modest and creative volcano. He said he was very proud of them and loved them very much. + +They all hugged and laughed and went back to the garden to play some more. They had a wonderful day. +Lily likes to polish her shoes. She uses a soft cloth and some shiny stuff. She rubs her shoes until they look new. She is very proud of her shoes. + +One morning, she is polishing her shoes in the kitchen. Her mom is making toast for breakfast. She smells the toast and feels hungry. + +"Mom, can I have some toast?" she asks. + +"Sure, honey. Here you go." Her mom gives her a plate with two slices of toast. One has butter and jam, the other has cheese and ham. + +Lily takes a bite of the cheese and ham toast. She makes a face. The toast is rough and dry. She does not like it. + +"Mom, this toast is rough. I don't want it." She pushes the plate away. + +Her mom looks at the toast. She sees that it is burnt. She forgot to check the toaster. + +"Oh, I'm sorry, Lily. I made a mistake. The toaster was too hot. Let me make you another one." She takes the plate and puts it in the trash. + +She makes a new toast for Lily. This one is soft and golden. She puts butter and jam on it. + +"Here, try this one. It's much better." She gives Lily the new toast. + +Lily takes a bite of the butter and jam toast. She smiles. The toast is sweet and yummy. She likes it. + +"Thank you, mom. This toast is good. I love you." She hugs her mom. + +"I love you too, Lily. And I love your shoes. They are so shiny." Her mom hugs her back. + +They eat their toast and talk about their day. Lily is happy. She has a good mom and a good toast. And she has the best shoes in the world. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to drive them on the grass and pretend they were on a big road. Sometimes they made noises like honk, vroom, and beep. + +One day, a big dog came to the park. It saw the toy cars and wanted to play with them. It ran towards Tom and Lily and barked loudly. Tom and Lily were scared. They did not want the dog to take their toy cars. + +"Help, help!" they shouted. "Go away, dog!" + +But the dog did not listen. It grabbed one of the toy cars in its mouth and ran away. Tom and Lily chased after it, but it was too fast. They felt sad and angry. + +Then they saw a man on a bike. He was wearing a hat and a badge. He was a police officer. He heard Tom and Lily's cries and saw the dog with the toy car. + +"Stop, dog!" he said. "Give back the toy car!" + +He rode his bike after the dog and blew his whistle. The dog was scared of the whistle and dropped the toy car. The police officer picked it up and gave it back to Tom and Lily. + +"Thank you, thank you!" they said. "You are very helpful!" + +The police officer smiled and patted their heads. + +"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad I could help. Be careful with your toy cars. They are not for dogs." + +Tom and Lily nodded and hugged their toy cars. They were happy to have them back. They thanked the police officer again and went back to the park. They continued to play and drive their toy cars, but they kept an eye on the dog. They did not want to escape again. +Jen and Sam like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide on the grass. They see a big round thing that can spin. They want to try it. + +"Can we go on the spinny thing?" Jen asks Sam. + +"Yes, let's go!" Sam says. They run to the spinny thing and sit on it. They hold on tight and push with their feet. The spinny thing goes faster and faster. Jen and Sam feel the wind on their faces. They laugh and scream. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Jen says. + +"I like to spin!" Sam says. + +But then the spinny thing goes too fast. Jen and Sam feel dizzy. They let go of the spinny thing and fly off. They land on the grass. They roll and tumble. They stop and look at each other. + +"Are you okay?" Jen asks Sam. + +"I'm okay. Are you okay?" Sam asks Jen. + +They nod and smile. They are glad they are not hurt. They stand up and dust off their clothes. They hug each other. + +"That was scary!" Jen says. + +"But also fun!" Sam says. + +They decide to play something else. They run to the swings and swing high and low. They forget about the spinny thing. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing outside in the garden. They liked to run, jump and laugh. They saw many things: flowers, birds, bugs and a big sun. + +"Look, Lily, the sun is so bright and warm!" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, I like the sun. It makes me happy!" Lily said. + +They played some more, but then they saw something in the sky. It was a cloud. A big, gray cloud. It was not bright and warm like the sun. It was dark and cold. + +"Tom, what is that?" Lily asked. + +"That is a cloud, Lily. Sometimes clouds appear in the sky. They are made of water and air." Tom said. + +"Water and air? But why is it gray?" Lily asked. + +"Because it has a lot of water inside. Sometimes, when clouds have too much water, they rain. Rain is when water falls from the sky." Tom said. + +"Rain? I don't like rain. It makes me wet and sad!" Lily said. + +"Don't worry, Lily. Rain is not bad. It helps the flowers, the birds and the bugs. And sometimes, after the rain, you can see a rainbow. A rainbow is when the sun makes many colors in the sky." Tom said. + +"Really? A rainbow? I like colors. They make me happy!" Lily said. + +"Then let's go inside and wait for the rain to stop. Maybe we will see a rainbow later." Tom said. + +"OK, Tom. Let's go. But can we play some more after the rain?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, Lily. We can play as much as we want. We are friends!" Tom said. + +They held hands and ran inside. They hoped to see a rainbow soon. They liked to play outside in the garden. They liked to see many things: flowers, birds, bugs and a big sun. And sometimes, a cloud. A big, gray cloud. +Ben hates the driver. The driver is loud and mean. He yells at Ben and the other kids on the bus. He does not let them talk or sing or play. He makes them sit still and quiet. + +One day, the driver is very late. Ben and the other kids wait and wait at the bus stop. They are anxious. They do not want to miss school. They do not want to make the driver angrier. They wonder where he is. + +Then, they see the bus. But it is not the driver. It is a lady. She is smiling and friendly. She says hello to Ben and the other kids. She lets them sit where they want. She plays music and sings along. She tells them jokes and stories. + +Ben likes the lady. She is nice and fun. He feels happy and relaxed. He hopes the driver does not come back. He hopes the lady stays. He thinks she is the best driver ever. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the bathroom. They pretended to be pirates and explorers, and used the towels and soap as their treasure and tools. One day, they found a shiny thing on the sink that they had never seen before. It looked like a knife, but with many teeth. + +"What is this?" Tom asked, picking it up. + +"I don't know. Let me see." Sam said, reaching for it. + +Tom did not want to share. He wanted to examine the shiny thing by himself. He ran away from Sam and locked the door. + +"Tom, open the door! That's not a toy! That's a razor!" Sam shouted, banging on the door. + +Tom did not listen. He was curious about the razor. He touched the teeth with his finger. They felt sharp and cold. He wondered what they could do. He looked at his face in the mirror. He saw his hair and his nose and his mouth. He thought he looked wild, like a lion. He wanted to look more wild. He had an idea. He put the razor on his hair and pulled it down. + +"Ow!" Tom screamed. He felt a pain on his head. He saw blood on the razor and on his hair. He dropped the razor and started to cry. + +Sam heard Tom's scream and kicked the door open. He saw Tom holding his head and bleeding. He saw the razor and the hair on the sink. He was scared and angry. + +"Tom, what did you do? You hurt yourself with the razor! You are silly and naughty!" Sam yelled. + +He ran to Tom and hugged him. He tried to stop the blood with a towel. He called for their mom. + +Mom came and saw what happened. She was shocked and worried. She took Tom to the hospital. She scolded Sam for leaving the razor on the sink. She told them to never play with razors again. They were dangerous and not for children. + +Tom and Sam learned their lesson. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said sorry to mom and to each other. They promised to be careful and to share their toys. They never played with razors again. +Anna loves to dance. She likes to wear her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She feels graceful when she spins and jumps. She has a fan that she waves in the air. It makes a soft sound and a cool breeze. + +One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big tree with many leaves. She wants to dance under the tree. She runs to the tree and starts to dance. She waves her fan and smiles. + +But then, a strong wind blows. It takes Anna's fan from her hand. The fan flies away in the air. Anna is sad. She stops dancing and cries. She wants her fan back. + +Her mom sees her and hugs her. She tells her not to worry. She says they will look for the fan together. She says they can also make a new fan with paper and sticks. She says Anna can still dance and be graceful. + +Anna feels better. She wipes her tears and nods. She holds her mom's hand and they walk around the park. They look for the fan and they see many things. They see birds and flowers and clouds. They see other children playing and laughing. They see a pond with ducks and fish. + +Anna forgets about her fan. She enjoys the park and her mom. She feels happy and grateful. She thinks maybe she will dance again later. She thinks maybe she will make a new fan with her mom. She thinks maybe she will share her fan with a friend. She thinks maybe she will have more fun. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together, share toys and help each other. One day, they found a shiny ring in the park. It was very pretty and sparkled in the sun. + +"Look, Lily, I found a ring!" Ben said, holding it up. + +"Wow, it's so nice!" Lily said, admiring it. + +"Let's play a game. I will be the prince and you will be the princess. I will give you the ring and ask you to marry me. Then you will say yes and we will be happy," Ben suggested. + +"OK, that sounds fun," Lily agreed. + +They went to a quiet spot under a big tree. Ben knelt down and held out the ring to Lily. + +"Lily, you are my best friend and I love you very much. Will you marry me?" Ben asked. + +Lily looked at the ring and at Ben. She felt happy and scared at the same time. She did not know what marriage meant, but she knew it was something important and special. She wanted to make Ben happy, but she also wondered what would happen next. + +"Ben, I love you too and you are my best friend. But what is marriage? What do we do if we marry?" Lily asked. + +Ben thought for a moment. He did not know much about marriage either, but he had seen his parents and other grown-ups do it. + +"Marriage is when two people love each other and want to be together forever. They wear rings and say nice words and kiss and hug. They also live in the same house and share everything and take care of each other. They are happy and sometimes they have children," Ben explained. + +Lily nodded. She liked the idea of being with Ben forever and doing nice things with him. She also liked the idea of having children, like her baby brother. She smiled and took the ring from Ben. + +"OK, Ben, I will marry you. You are my prince and I am your princess. We will be happy and have children," Lily said. + +Ben smiled and put the ring on Lily's finger. They hugged and kissed and said nice words. They felt very happy and proud. They did not notice that their parents were watching them from a distance, smiling and laughing. They had seen the whole thing and thought it was very cute and sweet. They decided to let them play and enjoy their game, knowing that they were too young to understand what marriage really meant. They hoped that they would always be friends and love each other, no matter what. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They ran and jumped and laughed. They saw a trail that went into the woods. They wanted to see what was there. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Lily said. "Maybe we will find something fun!" + +"OK, Lily!" Tom said. "But we have to be careful. The woods are big and dark." + +They held hands and followed the trail. They saw trees and flowers and birds. They heard noises and smells. They felt curious and happy. + +They came to a clearing. There was a big house made of wood and stone. It had a door and windows and a chimney. Smoke came out of the chimney. It smelled good. + +"Wow, look, Lily!" Tom said. "Who lives here?" + +"I don't know, Tom," Lily said. "Maybe someone nice. Maybe they will provide us with some food or toys." + +They knocked on the door. It opened. A woman with a kind face and a big apron stood there. She smiled and said, "Hello, children. What are you doing here?" + +"We followed the trail, ma'am," Tom said. "We were looking for something fun." + +"Well, you found it," the woman said. "This is my house. I live here with my husband and my animals. We have a farm. Do you want to see it?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. "That sounds fun!" + +"Come in, then," the woman said. "But first, let me give you some cookies and milk. You must be hungry after your walk." + +She led them inside. The house was warm and cozy. It had a fireplace and a table and chairs and a sofa. It had pictures and books and toys. It looked fit for a family. + +The woman gave them cookies and milk. They ate and drank and thanked her. They felt full and happy. + +The woman said, "Now, let me show you the farm. You will see my husband and my animals. They are all friendly and fun." + +She took them outside. They saw a barn and a fence and a field. They saw a cow and a horse and a pig and a sheep and a chicken and a dog and a cat. They all made noises and moved around. They looked fit for a farm. + +The woman said, "You can pet them and feed them and play with them. They will like you. They are all part of my family." + +Tom and Lily did as she said. They petted and fed and played with the animals. They liked them. They felt fit for the farm. + +They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the time. They forgot about the park. They only remembered the trail and the house and the farm and the woman and the animals. They felt like they had found a new family. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, Sara has a new hat. It is red and has a big flower on it. Tom thinks it is pretty. + +"Can I try your hat?" Tom asks Sara. + +"OK, but be careful. It is my favorite hat," Sara says. She allows Tom to wear her hat. + +Tom puts on the hat. He feels happy. He runs and jumps in the park. He sees a dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. Tom likes dogs. He goes to pet the dog. + +But the dog does not like Tom's hat. The dog thinks it is different. The dog barks and tries to bite the hat. Tom is scared. He runs away from the dog. He drops the hat. + +Sara sees what happens. She is angry and sad. She runs to get her hat. She picks it up. It is dirty and has a hole in it. She cries. + +"Tom, you are bad! You ruined my hat! I do not want to be your friend anymore!" Sara shouts at Tom. + +Tom feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt Sara's hat. He did not know the dog would be mean. He wants to say sorry to Sara. He wants to be her friend again. + +"Sara, I am sorry. I did not want to ruin your hat. I liked your hat. It was pretty. Can we be friends again?" Tom says. + +Sara looks at Tom. She sees he is sorry. She remembers he is her friend. She feels a little better. + +"OK, Tom. I am sorry too. I was angry. You are my friend. But next time, do not wear my hat. It is mine," Sara says. + +Tom nods. He hugs Sara. They are friends again. They go to play in the park. They have fun. They are careful with the hat. +Tom is a boy who likes to play with cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He plays with them every day on the floor of his room. He is happy with his cars. + +One day, Tom receives a big box from his aunt. He opens the box and sees a new car. It is shiny and red and has a remote control. Tom is very excited. He wants to play with his new car right away. + +But his sister, Lily, is also in the room. She sees the new car and wants to play with it too. She says, "That's a nice car, Tom. Can I try it?" Tom says, "No, it's mine. You have your own toys. Go away." Lily says, "But I like cars too. Please, let me have a turn." Tom says, "No, you can't. It's my car. I received it from auntie. You are a girl. You don't know how to play with cars." + +Lily feels sad and angry. She thinks Tom is mean and selfish. She says, "You are a bad brother. You are rich. You have so many cars. You don't share with me. I hate you." She runs out of the room, crying. + +Tom feels guilty and sorry. He loves his sister. He doesn't want to hurt her. He thinks, "Maybe I was too harsh. Maybe I can share my new car with her. She is my sister. She is a person. She has feelings too." He picks up his new car and runs after her. He says, "Lily, wait. I'm sorry. I was wrong. You can play with my new car. I'll show you how. It's fun. I love you." Lily stops and smiles. She says, "Really? Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I love you too." They hug and play with the new car together. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and learn new things. One day, they went to the museum with their teacher. The museum had many old things from history. Lily and Ben saw pictures, clothes, toys and tools from long ago. + +"Look, Lily, this is a hat from history!" Ben said, pointing to a big, funny hat. "It has feathers and flowers on it. Do you want to try it on?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not like the hat. She thought it was ugly and silly. She was stubborn and did not want to wear anything from history. She wanted to wear her own hat, a pink one with a bow. + +"No, thank you, Ben. I don't like that hat. It is not pretty. It is not fun. It is old and boring. I like my hat better." Lily said, holding her hat tight. + +Ben was sad. He wanted to share the hat with Lily. He thought it was fun and interesting. He wanted to learn more about history. He did not understand why Lily was stubborn. He tried to make her laugh. + +"Come on, Lily, don't be stubborn. The hat is not old and boring. It is fun and funny. Look, I will put it on and make a funny face. Maybe you will laugh." Ben said, putting the hat on his head. He made a funny face and said, "Hello, I am a king from history. Bow to me, Lily." + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw his funny face and his big, funny hat. She could not help it. She started to laugh. She laughed so hard that she dropped her hat. She thought Ben was silly and funny. She forgot to be stubborn. + +"Ha ha ha, Ben, you are so funny. You are not a king from history. You are a clown from the park. You make me laugh, Ben. You are my best friend." Lily said, picking up her hat. + +Ben smiled. He was happy. He made Lily laugh. He took off the hat and gave it back to the museum. He did not need the hat to have fun. He had Lily. They were best friends. They liked to play in the park and learn new things. They liked history, too. Sometimes. +Sara liked to help her mom clean the house. She had a small broom and a dustpan. She swept the dust from the floor and put it in the trash. She felt happy and proud. + +One day, she saw a big pile of dust under the sofa. She wanted to sweep it, but her broom was too big. She could not reach the dust. She felt frustrated. She tried to push the sofa, but it was too heavy. She felt more frustrated. + +She saw her mom in the kitchen. She ran to her and asked, "Mom, can you help me? There is dust under the sofa and I can't sweep it." + +Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, Sara. I can help you. But first, let me finish washing the dishes. Can you wait for a few minutes?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I will wait. But please hurry. I want to clean the house with you." + +Her mom said, "You are a good helper, Sara. Thank you for being patient. I will be there soon." + +Sara went back to the living room. She sat on the floor and looked at the dust. She wondered what was in it. Maybe there were some toys or coins or bugs. She decided to wait and see. She hoped her mom would come soon and help her sweep the dust. She felt curious and excited. +Tom and Anna were very happy. They were going to travel with Mom and Dad to a big place with many animals. It was called a safari. They packed their bags and got in the car. + +On the way, they saw many things. They saw trees and hills and rivers. They saw cows and sheep and horses. They saw a big sign that said "Welcome to the Safari Park". They were almost there. + +At the park, they got out of the car and followed a guide. He showed them many animals. They saw lions and zebras and giraffes. They saw monkeys and elephants and rhinos. They saw birds and snakes and crocodiles. They learned many things about the animals. They took many pictures. + +Tom and Anna liked all the animals, but they had different favorites. Tom liked the lions best. He thought they were strong and brave. Anna liked the giraffes best. She thought they were tall and graceful. They both agreed that the animals were fair. They did not hurt each other or the people. They lived in peace. + +At the end of the day, they said goodbye to the animals and the guide. They got back in the car and drove home. They were tired but happy. They had a lot of fun at the safari. They thanked Mom and Dad for the trip. They dreamed of the animals. They hoped to come back again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and act. They act like animals, like people, like anything. They have fun. + +One day, they find a big box. The box has a hole. They look inside. They see a light. The light is bright and pretty. They want to play with the light. + +Lily says, "I want to be the light. I will act like the light. I will shine and sparkle." She goes inside the box. She holds the light. She smiles. + +Ben says, "No, I want to be the light. You are not the light. You are Lily. Give me the light." He goes inside the box. He tries to take the light from Lily. They pull and push. + +The light is not happy. The light is not a toy. The light is a lamp. The lamp is hot. The lamp burns Lily and Ben. They scream and cry. They drop the lamp. The lamp breaks. The light is gone. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They are sorry. They hug and say sorry. They are friends again. They do not play with the light anymore. They play with other things. They are cute. +Lily and Ben love to play sport. They like to run and jump and kick a ball. Sometimes they play with their friends at the park. Sometimes they play with their dad in the backyard. + +One day, they were playing with their dad in the backyard. They had a big ball that was red and blue. Lily kicked the ball to Ben.

It makes me happy." + +"Me too!" Ben said. "Can we play some more?" + +"Sure, but first let's have a snack," dad said. "I have some delicious cookies for you. They are chocolate and oatmeal. Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. They ran to the table and took a cookie each. They bit into the cookies and smiled. They were very yummy. + +"Wow, these are delicious!" Lily said. "You are very good at baking, dad." + +"Thank you, Lily!" dad said. "I like baking. It makes me happy." + +"Me too!" Ben said. "Can we help you bake next time?" + +"Sure, but first let's finish our snack and play some more sport," dad said. "Are you ready?" + +"Yes, we are!" Lily and Ben said. They finished their cookies and ran back to the ball. They kicked and laughed and had a lot of fun. They loved sport and they loved dad. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors, but her favorite was gold. She used it to make stars and crowns and coins. She always made sure her gold crayon was sharp, so she could draw thin lines and shiny edges. + +One day, she found a new crayon in her box. It was also gold, but it looked different. It was longer and thinner and had a metal tip. Lily wondered what it was. She picked it up and tried to draw with it. But it did not make any marks on the paper. It only made a scratchy sound. + +"Mommy, what is this?" Lily asked, holding the crayon. + +Mommy looked at it and gasped. "Oh, Lily, that's not a crayon. That's a needle. It's very sharp and can hurt you. Where did you get it?" + +Lily pointed to her crayon box. "It was in there. I thought it was a gold crayon." + +Mommy shook her head. "No, no, no. That's a mistake. Someone must have put it there by accident. You should never play with needles, Lily. They are not for drawing. They are for sewing. Here, let me take it and put it away. And let me see your hand. Did you poke yourself?" + +Lily showed her hand. It had a tiny red dot on it. "It did poke me a little. It hurt." + +Mommy kissed her hand and put a band-aid on it. "I'm sorry, Lily. You're very brave. Next time, be careful with things you don't know. And always ask me before you use them. OK?" + +Lily nodded. "OK, Mommy. I'm sorry, too. I just wanted to draw with gold." + +Mommy smiled and hugged her. "I know, sweetie. You love gold. And you're very good at drawing. Why don't we find your real gold crayon and make some perfect pictures together?" + +Lily smiled, too. She liked that idea. She forgot about the needle and the pain. She only wanted to draw with gold. And with Mommy. +Sara loved strawberries. She liked to eat them with cream, or make them into jam, or just pick them from the garden. She always felt cheerful when she saw the red and juicy fruits. + +One day, Sara had a dream. She dreamed that she was in a big field full of strawberries. She ran around and picked as many as she could. She filled her basket and her mouth with them. She was very happy. + +But then, she saw a little mouse. The mouse looked hungry and sad. It had no strawberries to eat. Sara felt sorry for the mouse. She decided to share some of her strawberries with it. + +"Hello, mouse," she said. "Do you want some strawberries? They are very yummy." + +The mouse nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Sara," it said. "You are very kind. Can I be your friend?" + +Sara nodded and smiled too. "Of course, mouse," she said. "You can be my friend. Friends share and care." + +They ate some strawberries together and talked. They had a lot of fun. Sara felt even more cheerful than before. + +When Sara woke up, she remembered her dream. She thought it was a very nice dream. She learned that sharing is good and makes everyone happy. She hoped to see the mouse again in her dreams. She also hoped to find some real strawberries for breakfast. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play and share. But they also liked cake very much. One day, their mom made a big cake for their birthday. She put it on the table and told them, "This cake is for later. Do not touch it or you will spoil the surprise. I have to go to the store for a bit. Be good, okay?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom." But as soon as mom left, Ben looked at the cake and said, "Let's have a little bite. Mom won't notice." Lily shook her head and said, "No, Ben. Mom said no. We have to wait. It's not fair to mom or to us." But Ben did not listen. He took a knife and cut a small piece of cake. He ate it and said, "Mmm, this is yummy. You should try it, Lily." + +Lily was tempted, but she remembered mom's words. She said, "No, Ben. Stop it. Mom will be back soon. She will see the hole in the cake. She will be sad and angry. And we will not get any more cake. Is that what you want?" Ben shrugged and said, "She won't see it. I'll cover it with some frosting. And we'll still get cake later. Come on, Lily. Don't be a baby." + +Lily felt hurt and mad. She said, "Fine. Do what you want. But I'm not going to join you. I'm going to play with my dolls. And I'm going to warn mom when she comes back. You'll be sorry, Ben." She left the table and went to her room. + +Ben did not care. He ate another piece of cake and another. He felt happy and full. He covered the hole with some frosting and smiled. He thought he was clever and lucky. He did not see the ants that crawled on the table and on the cake. He did not hear the door open and mom come back. He did not hear Lily say, "Mom, look what Ben did!" He did not hear mom say, "Oh, no! Ben, what have you done?" He did not hear mom say, "No cake for you, young man. Go to your room and think about what you did." He did not hear Lily say, "I told you so, Ben. You should have listened to me and mom. It's not fair to eat the cake before the party." He only heard his own tummy ache and his own tears. He wished he had listened to Lily and mom. He wished he had not eaten the cake. He wished he had been good. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park near the big green building. The big green building was a university. Lily and Ben did not know what a university was, but they liked the flowers and trees around it. + +One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was barking and running towards them. Lily and Ben were scared. They ran to the big green building and tried to find a door to go inside. + +"Help! Help!" Lily shouted. "There is a big dog!" + +But no one heard them. The big green building was empty. It was a holiday and all the people who worked and learned there were gone. + +The big dog caught up with them. It jumped on Lily and bit her arm. Lily screamed and cried. Ben tried to protect her. He picked up a stick and hit the dog. But the dog was stronger and angrier. It bit Ben too. + +Lily and Ben fell to the ground. They were bleeding and hurting. The dog was still barking and biting. No one came to help them. They were alone and afraid. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was filthy. He had mud and leaves on his coat. + +"Hello, doggy!" Lily said. She wanted to pet the dog. She walked towards him. + +"Wait, Lily!" Tom said. He was scared of the dog. He thought the dog might bite or bark. He grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her back. + +The dog saw the children and wagged his tail. He was friendly and wanted to play. He ran towards them and jumped. He landed on Tom's shoulder and licked his face. + +"Wow!" Tom said. He was surprised and laughed. The dog was heavy and warm. He felt his tongue and fur. + +"Hi, doggy!" Lily said. She smiled and touched the dog's ear. The dog wagged his tail more and licked her hand. + +The children and the dog played together. They had fun. They did not mind the mud and the leaves. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they found a big kite in the park. It was red and blue and had a long tail. + +"Wow, look at this kite!" Lily said. "Can we fly it?" + +"Sure, let's try!" Tom said. They took the kite and ran to a hill. The wind was strong and the kite flew high in the sky. + +Lily and Tom were happy.

Mia says nothing. She feels bad. + +When they get home, Mia's mom sees the doll in Mia's pocket. She says, "Mia, where did you get this doll?" Mia says, "I found it." Mia's mom says, "No, Mia. You took it from the store. That is wrong. You have to give it back." + +Mia cries. She says, "I'm sorry. I wanted a doll. I was greedy." Mia's mom says, "I'm disappointed in you, Mia. You have to learn to be happy with what you have. And you have to be honest and respectful. Taking things that are not yours is stealing. Stealing is bad." + +Mia's mom takes Mia and the doll back to the store. She makes Mia apologize to the store owner and return the doll. The store owner is angry. He says, "You are a bad girl, Mia. You are not welcome here anymore." + +Mia feels ashamed. She says, "I'm sorry. I won't do it again." Tom feels sorry for Mia. He says, "I'm sorry, too. I wish I could share my tuna with you." + +The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and don't steal. Be happy with what you have and be honest and respectful. +Tom and Sue are friends.

They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the shop with Ann's mom. The shop has many things: clothes, food, toys, books, and more. + +"Look, Tom, a big red car!" Ann says. She points to a toy car on a shelf. "I want it!" + +Tom likes the car too. It has four wheels, a horn, and a door that opens. He wants to play with it. "Can we have it, please?" he asks Ann's mom. + +Ann's mom smiles. She is wise. She knows that the car is too expensive. She also knows that Tom and Ann have many toys at home. She does not want to buy more things that they do not need. She says, "No, we cannot have it. It is not for us. It is for someone else." + +Tom and Ann are sad. They really want the car. They start to cry. They make a lot of noise. The other people in the shop look at them. They are not happy. + +Ann's mom thinks. She has an idea. She says, "Why don't we call dad? Maybe he can tell us a story. He is good at stories. He can make us laugh." + +Tom and Ann like stories. They like dad. They stop crying. They nod. Ann's mom takes out her phone. She calls dad. She puts the phone on speaker. + +"Hi, dad!" Tom and Ann say. + +"Hi, Tom and Ann!" dad says. "How are you? What are you doing?" + +"We are at the shop," Tom says. "We saw a big red car. We wanted it. But mom said no. We were sad." + +"I see," dad says. "I understand. But you know what? You don't need a big red car. You have something better. You have each other. You have mom. You have me. You have love. And love is more fun than any toy." + +Tom and Ann think. They look at each other. They look at mom. They smile. They say, "You are right, dad. We love you. We love mom. We love each other. We are happy." + +Dad laughs. He says, "I love you too. I am proud of you. You are wise. You are good. Now, have fun at the shop. But don't forget to come home soon. I have a surprise for you." + +"What is it?" Tom and Ann ask. + +"You will see," dad says. "It is a secret. But I think you will like it. Bye for now." + +"Bye, dad!" Tom and Ann say. + +They hang up the phone. They hug mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are wise too. You are good. We are sorry for making noise. We are sorry for wanting the car. We don't need it. We have love." + +Mom hugs them back. She says, "You are welcome, my sweeties. I love you very much. You are wise too. You are good. You make me happy. Now, let's go and see what else the shop has.

She called for help. + +"Sara, Sara, I'm so sorry. You'll be okay. Don't worry," her aunt said. + +But Sara was not okay. She had to go to the hospital. She had to get a shot and a bandage. She did not like the hospital. She did not like the shot. She did not like the bandage. She did not like the squirrel. She was sad and mad. + +She did not want to jog with her aunt anymore.

She could run very fast and jump very high. She liked to help people who were in trouble. One day, she saw a big fire in a house. She heard a cry from inside. + +"Help! Help!

Sometimes he found nice things, like toys or candy. Sometimes he found boring things, like socks or papers. Sometimes he found scary things, like spiders or bugs. + +One day, Ben saw a big shelf in his grandma's house. He had never opened it before. He was curious. He climbed on a chair and reached for the shelf. He opened it with a loud bang. He hoped to find something fun or yummy. + +But he did not find what he expected. He found a hairy monster. It had big eyes, sharp teeth and long claws. It roared at Ben and jumped out of the shelf. Ben was very afraid. He screamed and fell off the chair. He ran to his grandma and hugged her. + +His grandma heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the monster and laughed. She said, "Don't be scared, Ben. That's not a real monster. That's my old fur coat. I keep it in the shelf because I don't wear it anymore. It's very old and dusty. You should not open things that are not yours. You might break them or hurt yourself. Or you might get a big fright." + +Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, grandma. I won't open things that are not mine anymore. I learned my lesson. Can you please put the coat back in the shelf? It's too hairy and scary for me." + +His grandma smiled and said, "Of course, Ben. I'll put it back. And I'll give you a cookie and a hug. I love you, Ben. But next time, ask me before you open something. OK?" + +Ben nodded and said, "OK, grandma. I love you too. And thank you for the cookie and the hug. They are much better than a hairy monster." +One day, a little lion cub named Will wanted to play with his friends. He ran to the big tree where they liked to hide and seek. He saw his friend Zara, a zebra, behind a bush. He wanted to scare her, so he opened his mouth and tried to roar. But he only made a tiny sound, like a kitten. + +Zara heard him and laughed. "That is not a roar, Will. That is a meow. You are a silly lion. You need to practice more." + +Will felt sad. He wanted to roar like his dad, who was the king of the jungle. He asked Zara to help him. Zara agreed. She said, "You need to breathe deep, and make your chest big, and use your voice loud. Like this." She showed him how to roar like a zebra. + +Will tried to copy her. He breathed deep, and made his chest big, and used his voice loud. But he still sounded like a kitten. Zara laughed again. "That is not a roar, Will. That is a neigh. You are a silly lion. You need to practice more." + +Will felt sadder. He wanted to roar like his mom, who was the queen of the jungle. He asked Zara to help him again. Zara said, "You need to be brave, and fierce, and proud. Like this." She showed him how to roar like a zebra again. + +Will tried to copy her again. He was brave, and fierce, and proud. He opened his mouth and roared. But this time, he did not sound like a kitten, or a horse. He sounded like a lion. A big, strong, loud lion. + +Zara was surprised. She stopped laughing. She said, "Wow, Will. That is a roar. That is a great roar. You are not a silly lion. You are a smart lion. You learned how to roar." + +Will felt happy. He thanked Zara for helping him. He said, "You are a good friend. You are a smart zebra. You taught me how to roar." + +They hugged and smiled.

Lily brought her little telescope that her mom gave her for her birthday. She wanted to see the stars up close. Mr. Fox helped her set up the telescope and pointed to a bright star. + +"Do you see that star, Lily?" he asked. "That is the North Star. It is very special. It always stays in the same place in the sky. It can help you find your way if you are lost." + +Lily looked through the telescope and saw the North Star. It was very shiny and beautiful. She smiled and said, "Wow, it is amazing! Thank you, Mr. Fox, for showing me the North Star. You are the best tutor ever!" + +Mr. Fox smiled back and said, "You are very welcome, Lily. You are a very good student. I am proud of you. Now, let's see what else we can find in the sky. Maybe we can see a shooting star or a comet. They are very rare and exciting. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please! I love to gaze at the stars with you, Mr. Fox. They make me happy and curious. Maybe someday I can go to the stars and see them for real." + +Mr. Fox hugged her and said, "Maybe you can, Lily. Maybe you can. You have a big dream and a big heart. I believe in you. Now, let's gaze at the stars some more and enjoy this beautiful night." +Lily and Ben like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys with cars, dolls, blocks and more.

The van will break and we can't play with it anymore." But Lily does not listen. She thinks she is clever. She starts to cut the van with the scissors. She cuts the doors and the windows and the wheels. She makes holes and shapes in the van. She says, "Look, Ben, the van is a flower now. It is so pretty." + +Ben is very sad. He sees the van is not a van anymore. It is a mess. He says, "Lily, you are not clever. You are naughty. You ruined the van. Now we can't play with it anymore. I don't like you." He starts to cry. + +Lily is surprised. She does not understand why Ben is sad. She thinks the van is pretty. She says, "Ben, don't cry. The van is a flower. Flowers are nice. You can play with the flower." But Ben does not want to play with the flower. He wants to play with the van. He says, "Lily, you are silly. The van is not a flower. The van is a toy. Toys are for playing, not for cutting. You need to say sorry." + +Lily feels bad. She sees Ben is angry and sad. She sees the van is broken. She says, "Ben, I am sorry. I did not mean to make you sad. I did not know the van was a toy. I thought it was a paper. I like to cut paper and make things. But I don't like to cut toys and break them. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben looks at Lily. He sees she is sorry. He says, "Lily, I forgive you. But you need to be careful. You need to ask before you cut something. You need to know what is a toy and what is not a toy. You need to be nice to your toys and to me. Can you promise me?" + +Lily nods. She says, "Ben, I promise. I will be careful. I will ask before I cut something. I will know what is a toy and what is not a toy. I will be nice to my toys and to you. Can we be friends again?" + +Ben smiles. He says, "Lily, we can be friends again. But we need a new toy. The van is gone. What can we play with now?" + +Lily thinks. She says, "We can play with the blocks. We can build a house or a castle or a tower. We can use the scissors to cut paper and make windows and doors and flags. We can make something new and pretty." + +Ben likes the idea. He says, "Lily, that sounds fun. Let's do that. Let's play with the blocks and the paper and the scissors. But let's be careful and nice and clever." + +Lily and Ben hug. They say, "We are sorry. We are friends. We are clever." They go to the toy box and take out the blocks and the paper and the scissors. They start to play and make something new and pretty. They have fun. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys that glow. They have cars, planes, stars and balls that glow.

He saw Ben and said, "Hey, why do you have no hair? Are you sick? You look funny!" + +Ben felt sad and angry. He did not like what Sam said. He wanted to say something back, but he did not know what. He felt a big worry in his chest. + +He ran to his teacher, Miss Lee, and told her what Sam said. Miss Lee hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Ben. You are not sick. You are just bald. Some people have hair and some people don't. It does not matter. What matters is who you are inside. You are a kind, brave and smart boy. And you have many friends who love you." + +She took him back to the gym and said to Sam, "Sam, this is Ben. He is a bald boy who likes to play at the gym. He is a good friend and a good player. Can you be nice to him and play with him?" + +Sam looked at Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I did not mean to hurt you. I was just curious. I have never seen a bald boy before. Can we be friends?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Yes, we can be friends. Do you want to play with me?" + +Sam nodded and said, "Yes, I do. What do you want to play?" + +Ben said, "Let's play on the swings. They are my favorite." + +Sam said, "OK, let's go." + +They ran to the swings and played together.

That was a special shiny thing. It was from Grandma. She gave it to me when I was a little girl. She is not here anymore. She is in heaven." + +Lisa did not understand. She looked at the broken shiny thing. She looked at Mommy. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I didn't know. I like the dog." + +Mommy smiled. She wiped Lisa's tears. She said, "It's okay, Lisa. I know you didn't mean to. I like the dog too. He was Grandma's dog. His name was Spot. He is in heaven with Grandma. They are happy." + +Lisa smiled too. She said, "Can we make a new shiny thing for the tree? With a dog on it?" + +Mommy nodded. She said, "Yes, we can. We can make it together. We can remember Grandma and Spot. We can be happy too." + +They hugged again. They went to the kitchen. They found some paper and glue and glitter. They made a new shiny thing for the tree. With a dog on it. They hung it on the tree.

He likes to joke and make you laugh." + +Lily did not like the doctor. She was scared of the needles and the stethoscope. She did not want to joke and laugh. She wanted to cry and hide. + +They went to the doctor's office. The doctor came in and smiled. He said, "Hello, Lily. I'm Dr. Lee. What's wrong with you today?" + +Lily did not answer. She looked away and hugged her mom. + +The doctor said, "Don't be afraid, Lily. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm going to check your ears, your nose, your throat, and your chest. Then I'm going to give you some medicine to make you feel better. OK?" + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, no, no." + +The doctor said, "How about a joke, Lily? Do you like jokes?" + +Lily said, "No, no, no." + +The doctor said, "Come on, Lily. Jokes are fun. Let me tell you one. Why did the chicken cross the road?" + +Lily said, "I don't know." + +The doctor said, "To get to the other side." + +Lily did not laugh. She said, "That's not funny. That's silly." + +The doctor said, "OK, OK. How about this one? What do you call a fish that wears a bow tie?" + +Lily said, "I don't know." + +The doctor said, "Sofishticated." + +Lily did not laugh. She said, "That's not funny. That's weird." + +The doctor said, "OK, OK. One more. What do you get when you cross a snowman and a vampire?" + +Lily said, "I don't know." + +The doctor said, "Frostbite." + +Lily did not laugh. She said, "That's not funny. That's scary." + +The doctor said, "Oh, Lily. You're a tough crowd. But you know what? You're also very brave and smart.

They say, "I love you." But it is too late. The end. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and dig and make noise. But they did not like to clean up their toys. Mama always told them to be tidy, but they did not listen. + +One day, Mama said, "Sara and Tom, you have to clean up your toys now. It is time for lunch." Sara and Tom did not want to stop playing. They said, "No, Mama, we want to play more." Mama said, "If you do not clean up your toys, I will tie them in a big bag and put them away. You will not see them until tomorrow."

Have you ever touched one?" + +Sam says, "No, but I know they are not here. They live in far places, like Africa or Florida. They do not like cold water. They like warm water. And they do not like people. They like fish and birds." + +Tim says, "I do not believe you, Sam. I think they are alligators. And I think they are hungry. And I think they want to eat us. Let's go away from the pond. Let's go to the swings." + +Sam says, "No, Tim, you are wrong. And you are a chicken. I am not afraid of the pond. I am not afraid of the logs. I am brave. I will show you. I will crawl to the pond. I will touch a log. I will prove you wrong." + +Tim says, "No, Sam, do not do that. It is dangerous. It is stupid. Come back. Come back." + +But Sam does not listen. He crawls to the pond. He reaches a log. He touches it. He feels something hard and rough. He feels something move. He hears a loud snap. He screams. + +Tim runs to Sam. He sees blood. He sees a big mouth. He sees an alligator. He is scared. He cries. + +A lady hears the scream. She sees the boys. She sees the alligator. She is shocked. She calls for help. She throws a stick. She scares the alligator. She saves Sam. + +She takes Sam to the hospital. She calls their mom. She tells her what happened. She says, "I am sorry. I was not watching. I did not know there were alligators in the pond. They must have escaped from the zoo. They are very dangerous. Your son is very lucky. He will be okay. He will need some stitches. He will have a scar. But he will live." + +Mom comes to the hospital. She hugs Sam. She kisses Tim. She thanks the lady. She says, "You are very kind. You are very brave. You are a hero. You saved my son. Thank you. Thank you." + +Sam says, "I am sorry, Mom. I was wrong. They were not logs. They were alligators. They were scary and mean. They bit me with their big teeth." + +Mom says, "It's okay, Sam. You made a mistake. You learned a lesson. You will be more careful next time. You will listen to your brother. He loves you. He tried to warn you. He was right." + +Tim says, "I love you, Sam. I am sorry you got hurt. I am glad you are okay. You are my brother. You are brave. But you are also silly." + +Sam says, "I love you, Tim. You are my brother. You are smart. But you are also a chicken." + +They laugh. They hug. They say sorry. They say thank you. They are happy. They are sweet. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the woods. They had a hut made of sticks and leaves. They pretended it was their home. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they saw something unusual in the hut. It was a big, shiny ball. It was red and blue and green. It looked like a toy. Ben and Mia wanted to play with it. + +Ben ran to the hut and grabbed the ball. He was happy. He threw it in the air and caught it. He laughed. Mia ran after him. She wanted to grab the ball too. She said, "Share, Ben, share!" + +But Ben did not want to share. He said, "No, it's mine! I grabbed it first!" He ran away with the ball. Mia was sad. She cried. + +Then, they heard a loud roar. It came from the woods. It sounded angry. Ben and Mia were scared. They looked and saw a big, furry bear. It had sharp teeth and claws. It was the bear's ball. It wanted it back. + +Ben and Mia dropped the ball and ran. They ran to their mom and dad. They hugged them. They were safe. They learned a lesson. They should not grab things that are not theirs. They should share and be kind. +Tom is a dog who likes to play. He has a patch of black fur on his back. He has a friend who is a cat. Her name is Lily. She has a patch of white fur on her chest. + +One day, Tom and Lily go to the park. They see a big pond with ducks. Tom wants to chase the ducks. He runs to the pond and barks. Lily does not like the water. She stays on the grass and watches. + +"Tom, come back!" Lily calls. "The ducks are not fun. They are mean. They will bite you." + +But Tom does not listen. He jumps into the pond and swims after the ducks. The ducks are not happy. They quack and flap their wings. They splash water on Tom. They peck at his nose. Tom feels a mild pain. He is scared. He swims back to the shore. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asks. She licks his nose. "You have a red spot. It hurts." + +Tom nods. He is sorry. He says, "Lily, you are right. The ducks are not fun. They are mean. I will not chase them again." + +Lily smiles. She says, "Tom, you are a good friend. I have a patch of white fur. You have a patch of black fur. We are different, but we are the same. We like to play. Come, let's go to the slide. The slide is fun." + +Tom agrees. He follows Lily to the slide. They take turns sliding down. They laugh and have fun. They are happy. +On Wednesday, Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wanted to feed the ducks, but Ben wanted to catch the fish. Mom gave them some bread and a net. + +Lily threw some bread to the ducks and they came closer. She liked how they quacked and wiggled their tails. She said, "Look, Mom, the ducks are happy!" + +Ben ran to the edge of the pond and dipped his net in the water. He tried to catch a fish, but they were too fast. He said, "Come here, fish, I want to see you!" + +He finally caught a small fish and lifted it out of the water. He was proud and showed it to Mom and Lily. He said, "Look, Mom, Lily, I caught a fish!" + +But the fish was not happy. It was scared and it flopped in the net. It wanted to go back to the pond. Lily saw the fish and felt sorry for it. She said, "Ben, the fish is sad. You should release it." + +Ben did not want to release the fish. He wanted to keep it and play with it. He said, "No, Lily, the fish is mine. I caught it. It is fun." + +Mom saw that Lily and Ben were arguing. She said, "Ben, Lily is right. The fish belongs in the pond. It is not good to keep it in the net. It will die. You should release it and say sorry to the fish." + +Ben looked at the fish and saw that it was not moving much. He realized that Mom and Lily were right. He felt bad and said, "Okay, Mom, Lily, I will release the fish. I am sorry, fish." + +He gently put the net back in the water and let the fish go. The fish swam away and joined the other fish. Ben said, "Bye, fish. Have a good day." + +Lily smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "Good job, Ben. You are a good brother." + +Mom smiled and hugged them both. She said, "I am proud of you, Ben and Lily. You are good children. Now, let's go and have some ice cream." +Lily and Tom were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were mail people. They had a big box of old papers and envelopes. They wrote their names and drew pictures on them. Then they put them in their bags and went to deliver them to their friends. + +They knocked on the door of Sam's house. Sam opened the door and smiled. "Hi, Lily and Tom! Do you have mail for me?" he asked. + +"Yes, we do!" Lily said. She gave him an envelope with a sticker of a fire truck on it. "This is for you, Sam. It is from the fire people. They say you are very brave and good." + +"Wow, thank you, Lily and Tom! That is so nice of them. And of you!" Sam said. He opened the envelope and looked at the paper inside. It had a big fire on it, with red and orange and yellow crayons. He liked fire. It was bright and warm and made noises. + +"Can I show you something?" Sam asked. He took Lily and Tom to his backyard. There was a small fire pit there, with some sticks and rocks. "My dad made this for me. He said we can make a fire sometimes, but only when he is here. And we have to be careful and not touch it. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom said. They followed Sam to the fire pit. Sam took a match from a box and struck it on the side. It made a spark and a flame. He put it on the sticks and they caught fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger. It was beautiful. + +Lily and Tom clapped their hands and cheered. "Wow, Sam, you are so good at making fire!" Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily. It is fun. But we have to be safe. We have to stay away from the fire and not throw anything in it. And we have to put it out when we are done. Do you know how to put out a fire?" Sam asked. + +Tom nodded. He had seen his dad do it before. "You need water. Water makes fire go away. You can use a hose or a bucket or a cup. But you have to be careful and not get burned." He said. + +"Good, Tom. You are smart. Do you want to help me put out the fire?" Sam asked. + +"OK, Sam. But let's watch it for a little bit more. It is so pretty." Tom said. + +They sat on the grass and watched the fire. It made them feel warm and happy. They talked about their mail and their pictures and their friends. They forgot about everything else. They were dizzy from the fire. They did not see the smoke or hear the sirens. They did not know that the fire people were coming. +Tim and Anna liked to play catch with their ball in the park. They threw the ball high and low, fast and slow, and had fun. But one day, they saw an elderly man walking his dog near them. The dog was big and loud, and it scared Tim and Anna. + +The dog saw the ball and wanted to play too. It ran after the ball and barked. Tim and Anna were afraid and ran away. But the elderly man could not run fast. He tried to catch his dog, but he tripped and fell. He hurt his leg and cried for help. + +Tim and Anna heard him and stopped. They felt sorry for the elderly man. They wanted to help him. They ran back to him and asked if he was okay. He said he was not okay. He said he needed an emergency. He asked them to call someone. + +Tim and Anna did not have a phone. They looked around and saw a lady with a phone. They ran to her and told her what happened. The lady was kind and called an emergency. She said someone would come soon. She thanked Tim and Anna for being brave and helpful. + +Tim and Anna went back to the elderly man and his dog. They waited with them until the emergency came. The emergency was a big truck with lights and sounds. It had people who could help the elderly man. They put him on a bed and took him to the truck. They said he would be okay. They thanked Tim and Anna again. + +Tim and Anna felt happy and proud. They had done a good thing. They waved goodbye to the elderly man and his dog. They hoped they would see them again. They picked up their ball and went home. They told their mom and dad what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were proud of them too. They said they were good kids. Tim and Anna smiled and agreed. +Sara and Tom are playing with their cars on the floor. They make loud noises and pretend to race each other. Sara has a red car and Tom has a blue car. They like their cars very much. + +But then, Sara sees a shiny yellow car on the shelf. She wants to play with it. She says to Tom, "Can I have the yellow car, please?" + +Tom says, "No, that's my car. You have the red car. The yellow car is mine." + +Sara feels sad and angry. She says, "But I like the yellow car. It's so pretty. Please, let me have it for a little while." + +Tom says, "No, no, no. You can't have it. It's mine, mine, mine." + +Sara and Tom start to fight over the yellow car. They pull and tug and shout. They don't hear their mom coming into the room. + +Mom sees them fighting and says, "Stop it, you two. What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a toy?" + +Sara and Tom stop and look at mom. They feel ashamed and scared. They say, "Sorry, mom." + +Mom says, "You should share your toys and play nicely. Fighting is not good. How would you feel if someone took your car away from you?" + +Sara and Tom think for a moment. They realize that they would feel bad if someone took their car away from them. They realize that they were being selfish and mean. They say, "You're right, mom. We're sorry. We should share and play nicely." + +Mom says, "That's good. I'm glad you understand. Now, why don't you take turns with the yellow car? You can each play with it for five minutes, and then switch. OK?" + +Sara and Tom say, "OK, mom. Thank you." + +They hug mom and then hug each other. They say, "I'm sorry, I love you." + +They take turns with the yellow car and play happily. They make loud noises and pretend to race each other. They like their cars very much. They are not tired of playing. They are tired of fighting. +Lily and Tom were playing in the house. They liked to pretend they were spies and hide from Mom and Dad. They found a big closet in the hall and went inside. It was dark and full of coats and shoes and boxes. + +"Shh, we are secret agents," Tom whispered. "We have to be quiet and not let anyone find us." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She saw a shiny thing on the door. It was a lock. She wanted to see how it worked. She turned it and heard a click. + +"Look, I locked the door," she said. "Now we are safe." + +Tom frowned. He did not like the lock. He tried to turn it back, but it was stuck. He pushed the door, but it did not open. He started to feel scared. + +"Lily, you are stupid," he said. "You locked us in. How will we get out?" + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to lock them in. She wanted to have fun. She started to cry. + +"Sorry, Tom," she sobbed. "I did not know. I want to get out too." + +They banged on the door and shouted for help. But no one heard them. Mom and Dad were in the kitchen, making lunch. They did not know Lily and Tom were in the closet. They did not know there was an emergency. +One day, a curious boy named Tom went to the zoo with his mom. He liked to see all the different animals, but his favorite was the big tiger. He wanted to get closer to the tiger and touch its fur. + +"Mom, can I cut a piece of the tiger's fur?" he asked. + +"No, Tom, you can't do that. The tiger is not a toy. It is a wild animal and it can hurt you. You have to stay behind the fence and look from far away," his mom said. + +But Tom did not listen to his mom. He waited until she was busy talking to another mom, and then he sneaked under the fence. He walked slowly towards the tiger, who was sleeping under a tree. He had a pair of scissors in his hand. + +The tiger heard a noise and opened its eyes. It saw Tom coming closer with the scissors. It did not like that. It growled and showed its teeth. It was angry and scared. + +Tom was scared too. He dropped the scissors and ran back to the fence. But he was too late. The tiger jumped and caught him with its paw. It scratched his arm and made it bleed. + +"Help! Help!" Tom cried. + +His mom heard him and ran to him. She saw the tiger and the scissors and the blood. She was very worried and angry. + +"Tom, what have you done? You are very naughty and foolish. You could have been killed by the tiger. You have to go to the doctor and get a bandage. And you have to say sorry to the tiger and the zookeeper. And you have to promise me that you will never do something like that again," she said. + +Tom nodded and sobbed. He was sorry and ashamed. He learned his lesson. He never tried to cut the tiger's fur again. He respected the animals and followed the rules. He was still curious, but he was also careful. +Leo loved books. He liked to look at the pictures and hear the stories. He went to the library with his mom every week. He always picked a book about lions. He wanted to be a lion when he grew up. He liked to roar like a lion at home and at the park. + +One day, he saw a new book at the library. It was about a lion who lived in the jungle. He wanted to read it very much. He reached for the book, but another boy grabbed it first. The boy was bigger than Leo and had a mean face. He said, "This is my book. You can't have it. Go away." + +Leo felt sad and angry. He wanted the book more than anything. He thought the boy was not nice. He thought the boy was envious of him. He said, "No, it is not your book. It is the library's book. You have to share. Give it to me." + +The boy said, "No, I won't. You are too small and too silly. You can't even read. You only roar like a baby lion. You are not a real lion. You are a mouse." + +Leo felt hurt by the boy's words. He felt his face get hot and his chest get tight. He wanted to show the boy that he was a real lion. He wanted to make the boy scared. He opened his mouth and roared as loud as he could. He roared so loud that everyone in the library heard him. He roared so loud that the boy dropped the book and ran away. He roared so loud that his mom came running to him. + +She hugged him and said, "Leo, what happened? Why did you roar like that? You know you have to be quiet in the library. You can't scare people like that." + +Leo told his mom what the boy did and said. He said he was sorry for roaring, but he was very mad. His mom said she understood, but he had to be more polite and calm. She said he could have the book now, but he had to say sorry to the librarian and the other people. She said she was proud of him for loving books and lions, but he had to learn to control his emotions. + +Leo said he was sorry to the librarian and the other people. He said he would not roar in the library again. He took the book and thanked his mom. He was happy to have the book, but he was happier to have his mom. He learned that being a lion was not only about roaring, but also about being kind and brave. He decided to read the book with his mom and learn more about lions. He hoped to meet a nice friend who liked lions too. He thought that would be the best thing ever. +Lily and Ben 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!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They go fast and have fun. They laugh and smile. + +Then they see a spring. It is a little spring. It is shiny and round. It can bounce. + +"Look, a spring!" Ben says. + +"Wow, a spring!" Lily says. + +They pick up the spring. They play with the spring. They stretch it and let it go. It makes a funny sound. They toss it and catch it. It bounces high and low. + +They have more fun. They laugh and smile more. + +They like the spring. They like the slide. They like the park. They like to play. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play and learn together. One day, they went to the museum with their teacher and other children. The museum had many things to see and touch. + +"Look, Ben, this is a display of dinosaurs!" Lily said, pointing to a big glass case. "They are very big and scary. Do you think they can dance?" + +Ben laughed. "No, Lily, dinosaurs cannot dance. They are too heavy and stiff. But we can dance. Do you want to dance with me?" + +Lily nodded. She liked to dance with Ben. They held hands and twirled around the room. They felt happy and free. + +But they did not see the sign that said "Do not touch". They bumped into a small table that had a fragile vase on it. The vase wobbled and fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben cried. They felt scared and sorry. They had made a big mess. + +The teacher and the museum guard came running. They saw the broken vase and the children. They were angry and sad. + +"What have you done?" the teacher asked. "This vase was very old and precious. You should not have touched it. You should have been careful and respectful." + +Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They did not mean to break the vase. They just wanted to have fun. + +"We are sorry, teacher. We are sorry, guard. We did not see the sign. We were dancing. We like to dance. But we did not know the vase was fragile. Can we fix it?" they said. + +The teacher and the guard sighed. They knew the children were sorry. But they could not fix the vase. It was too broken. + +"No, you cannot fix it. It is gone forever. You have to learn from your mistake. You have to be more careful and respectful. You have to follow the rules. Do you understand?" they said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They felt very bad. They wished they could make it better. + +They hugged each other and said, "We are sorry. We will be more careful and respectful. We will follow the rules. We will not dance near fragile things." + +The teacher and the guard smiled. They saw the children were sincere. They decided to forgive them. They said, "It is okay. We forgive you. But you have to promise to be more careful and respectful. You have to follow the rules. You can still dance, but not near fragile things. Do you promise?" + +Lily and Ben promised. They said, "We promise. Thank you for forgiving us. We will be more careful and respectful. We will follow the rules. We can still dance, but not near fragile things." + +The teacher and the guard hugged them and said, "You are welcome. We are glad you learned your lesson. You are good children. You can still have fun. You can still dance, but not near fragile things." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They felt relieved and grateful. They had learned their lesson. They were good children. They could still have fun. They could still dance, but not near fragile things. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big tree with bright red apples. They wanted to eat some. + +"Look, Ben, apples!" Lily said. "Let's get some." + +They ran to the tree and tried to reach the apples. But they were too high. They jumped and stretched, but they could not touch them. + +"Maybe we need a stick," Ben said. He looked around and found a long stick. He gave it to Lily. "Here, try this." + +Lily took the stick and poked the apples. One apple fell down. She picked it up and smiled. "Yay, we got one!" + +But then they heard a voice. It was a person who lived in the house near the tree. He was angry. + +"Hey, you kids, stop that!" he shouted. "Those are my apples. Go away!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped the stick and the apple and ran away. They did not want to make the person mad. + +They went back to the swings and slides. They decided they did not like apples anymore. They liked candy better. +Lily and Tom were playing with a big puzzle. They had many pieces of different colors and shapes. They tried to fit them together to make a picture of a farm. + +"Look, I found the piece for the cow!" Lily said, holding a white and black piece. + +"Good job, Lily! I have the piece for the barn!" Tom said, showing a red piece. + +They put their pieces on the floor and looked for more. They had fun finding the pieces for the pig, the horse, the sheep, and the farmer. + +But there was one piece missing. It was the piece for the sky. They looked everywhere, but they could not find it. + +"Where is the last piece?" Lily asked, feeling sad. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is under the sofa?" Tom suggested. + +They crawled under the sofa and searched. They found some dust, a sock, a ball, and a crayon. But they did not find the piece. + +"Maybe it is in the toy box?" Lily said. + +They ran to the toy box and opened it. They dumped out all the toys and looked. They found a doll, a car, a book, and a teddy bear. But they did not find the piece. + +"Maybe it is in the trash?" Tom said. + +They went to the trash can and peeked inside. They saw some banana peels, some paper, some egg shells, and some cheese. But they did not find the piece. + +They felt very sad. They could not end the puzzle without the piece. They sat on the floor and sighed. + +Then they heard a noise. It was their dog, Spot. He came running to them, wagging his tail. He had something in his mouth. It was the piece! + +"Spot, you found the piece!" Lily exclaimed, hugging him. + +"Good boy, Spot! You are the best!" Tom said, patting him. + +They took the piece from Spot and ran to the puzzle. They put the piece in the empty space. It fit perfectly. It was a blue piece for the sky. + +They cheered and clapped. They had ended the puzzle. It was a beautiful picture of a farm. They were very happy. + +They thanked Spot and gave him a treat. They showed their puzzle to their mom and dad. They were proud of their work. + +They learned that sometimes the piece you need is in a deep place. And sometimes you need a friend to help you find it. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the swings and go fast and high. They laughed and shouted as they swung. + +"Look at me, Lily! I can swing higher than you!" Ben said. + +"No, you can't, Ben! I can swing higher than you!" Lily said. + +They swung faster and faster, trying to outdo each other. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. + +But then, Ben felt something wrong. He felt his tummy hurt and his head spin. He felt dizzy and sick. He wanted to stop swinging, but he couldn't. He was scared. + +"Lily, help! I don't feel good! I want to stop!" Ben cried. + +Lily heard Ben and looked at him. She saw his face was pale and his eyes were wide. She felt sorry for him. She stopped swinging and ran to him. + +"Ben, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Lily asked. + +"I feel dizzy and sick, Lily. I think I swung too much. I need some water." Ben said. + +Lily nodded and took Ben's hand. She led him to the faucet near the slide. She turned on the faucet and let Ben drink some water. She rubbed his back and spoke softly. + +"It's okay, Ben. You'll feel better soon. Just drink some water and rest. I'm sorry I made you swing too much. I didn't mean to hurt you." Lily said. + +Ben drank some water and felt a little better. He smiled weakly at Lily and hugged her. + +"Thank you, Lily. You're a good friend. I'm sorry I was mean to you. I didn't mean to make you mad." Ben said. + +Lily hugged him back and smiled. + +"You're welcome, Ben. You're a good friend too. I'm not mad at you. I just wanted to have fun with you. Next time, let's swing slower and not too high, okay?" Lily said. + +Ben nodded and agreed. They walked back to the swings and sat on them gently. They swung slowly and softly, enjoying the breeze and the birds. They were happy and dizzy no more. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big crane near the road. The crane was lifting heavy things and putting them on a truck. + +"Look, Lily, a crane!" Tom said. "It is so big and strong!" + +"Yes, Tom, it is big and strong. But it is also boring. It only does the same thing over and over. It does not talk or play or whistle," Lily said. + +"Whistle? What is whistle?" Tom asked. + +"Whistle is when you make a sound with your mouth, like this," Lily said and showed Tom how to whistle. She made a high and low sound, like a bird. + +"Wow, that is cool! Can I try?" Tom said. + +"Sure, Tom, you can try. Just put your lips together and blow," Lily said. + +Tom tried to whistle, but he could not. He only made a funny noise, like a fart. + +"Ha ha, Tom, that is not whistle, that is fart!" Lily laughed. + +Tom felt sad. He wanted to whistle like Lily, but he could not. He looked at the crane again. Maybe the crane could whistle. + +"Hey, crane, can you whistle?" Tom shouted. + +The crane did not answer. It did not hear Tom. It only lifted heavy things and put them on a truck. + +Tom felt more sad. He wished the crane could whistle and play with him and Lily. + +Then, he heard a loud whistle. It was not from the crane. It was from a train. The train was passing by the park. It had a big engine and many cars. It whistled again and again, as if it was saying hello. + +"Look, Lily, a train!" Tom said. "It can whistle!" + +"Yes, Tom, a train! It can whistle! And it is not boring. It goes fast and far. It has many colors and shapes. It is fun!" Lily said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the fence. They waved at the train. The train whistled back. Tom and Lily smiled. They forgot about the crane. They liked the train better. They wanted to ride on the train someday. They imagined where the train would take them. They had a lot of fun. +Ben and Lily were very happy. They had just moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They wanted to unpack their toys and play in their new rooms. But Mom and Dad said they had to help with the boxes first. + +"Can we have some chocolate?" Ben asked. He saw a huge bar of chocolate on the kitchen table. It looked yummy. + +"Not now, Ben. You have to eat your lunch first. And help us with the boxes," Mom said. + +"But I want chocolate!" Ben said. He was angry. He grabbed the chocolate and ran to his room. + +Lily saw what Ben did. She was sad. She wanted some chocolate too. She followed Ben to his room. + +"Ben, can I have some chocolate?" Lily asked. She knocked on his door. + +"Go away, Lily. This is my chocolate. You can't have any," Ben said. He locked his door. + +Lily started to cry. She was hungry and lonely. She went back to the kitchen. + +Mom and Dad heard Lily crying. They went to see what was wrong. + +"Lily, what's the matter?" Mom asked. + +"Ben took the chocolate and locked his door. He won't share with me," Lily said. + +"That's not nice, Ben. He has to share with his sister. And he has to help us with the boxes. Let's go talk to him," Dad said. + +Mom, Dad and Lily went to Ben's room. They knocked on his door. + +"Ben, open the door. We need to talk to you," Dad said. + +Ben heard his parents. He felt guilty. He knew he was wrong. He opened the door. + +"Ben, why did you take the chocolate and lock your door?" Mom asked. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I was angry. I wanted chocolate. I didn't want to help with the boxes," Ben said. + +"Ben, that's not how we behave. You have to share with your sister. And you have to help us with the boxes. We are a family. We work together and we play together," Dad said. + +"I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry, Lily. Can I give you some chocolate?" Ben asked. + +Lily smiled. She hugged Ben. + +"Thank you, Ben. I love you," Lily said. + +"I love you too, Lily. And I love you, Mom and Dad. Can we help you with the boxes now?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, Ben. That would be great. And after we finish, we can all have some chocolate and play in our new rooms," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily were happy. They helped Mom and Dad with the boxes. They ate some chocolate. They played in their new rooms. They liked their new house. They were a happy family. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They pretend to cook and eat. They use pots and pans and spoons and plates. They make a lot of noise. + +One day, Mom is in the kitchen too. She is making a cake for Grandma. She needs eggs and flour and sugar and butter. She is busy and happy. + +Anna and Ben want to help Mom. They climb on the chairs and reach for the eggs. They crack them on the table and spill them on the floor. They laugh and clap. + +Mom hears the noise and turns around. She sees the mess and gets angry. She says, "Anna and Ben, what are you doing? You are making a big mess! You are not helping me, you are ruining the cake!" + +Anna and Ben are scared. They recognize Mom's voice and face. They know she is mad. They say, "Sorry, Mom, we wanted to help you. We like the kitchen. We like the cake." + +Mom sighs and calms down. She says, "I know you like the kitchen and the cake, but you have to be careful and listen to me. The kitchen is not a place to play. It can be dangerous and dirty. You have to ask me before you touch anything. Now, help me clean up and then we can decorate the cake together." + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "OK, Mom, we will help you. We love you and Grandma. We want to make a nice cake." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. You are my lively twins. You make me happy, even when you make a mess." +Tom and Sue like to play in the park. They see many animals there. They see birds, squirrels, and rabbits. Sometimes they see a deer. The deer is brown and has big ears. It runs very fast. + +One day, Tom and Sue find a big stick. They want to mark the trees with the stick. They make lines and circles on the bark. They have fun. + +But then they see the deer. The deer is not brown anymore. It is filthy. It has mud and leaves on its fur. It looks sad. It has a rope around its neck. Someone has tied the deer to a tree. + +Tom and Sue are scared. They do not like the rope. They do not like the filthy deer. They want to help the deer. + +They go near the deer. They say, "Hello, deer. We are Tom and Sue. We are your friends. We want to help you. Do not be afraid." + +The deer looks at them. It makes a soft noise. It wags its tail. It likes Tom and Sue. + +Tom and Sue use the stick to cut the rope. They free the deer. The deer is happy. It licks Tom and Sue. It thanks them. + +Tom and Sue are happy too. They hug the deer. They say, "You are welcome, deer. We are glad you are free. You are a good deer." + +The deer runs away. It goes to the woods. It finds its family. It tells them about Tom and Sue. + +Tom and Sue go home. They tell their mom and dad about the deer. They say, "We helped a filthy deer. We marked the trees. We made a new friend." +Anna liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted on paper, on walls, on her face. She made many patterns with dots and lines and shapes. She was happy when she painted. + +But her mom did not like her painting. She said Anna made a mess. She said Anna wasted paint. She said Anna had to stop. She took away her colors and brushes. She put them in a high shelf. She said Anna had to clean up. + +Anna was sad and angry. She wanted to paint more. She did not want to clean up. She looked for her colors and brushes. She saw them on the high shelf. She got a chair and climbed on it. She reached for them. + +But the chair was not steady. It wobbled and tipped. Anna fell down. She hit her head. She cried out loud. Her mom came and saw her. She was scared and sorry. She hugged Anna and said she was sorry. She got some ice for her head. + +But Anna was still sad and angry. She did not want her mom's hug. She did not want her mom's sorry. She wanted her colors and brushes. She wanted to paint. She was also hungry. She had not eaten lunch. She pushed her mom away. She said she hated her. She ran to her room. She slammed the door. She did not come out. The end. +Ben and Lily like to play soccer in the park. They have a small ball and two goals. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. Ben is good at soccer. He can run fast and kick hard. Lily is not so good. She is smaller and slower. But she tries her best and has fun. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He sees Ben and Lily playing soccer. He wants to play too. He says, "Hey, can I join you?" Ben and Lily are nice. They say, "Sure, you can play with us." They set a new goal for the big boy. They say, "We are on the same team. You can help us score." + +But the big boy is rude. He does not share the ball. He does not pass to Ben or Lily. He only kicks the ball by himself. He scores many goals. He says, "I am the best. You are the worst. You can't play soccer." He laughs at Ben and Lily. He makes them sad and angry. + +Ben and Lily do not like the big boy. They say, "You are not nice. You are not our friend. You can't play with us." They take their ball and their goals. They go to another part of the park. They play soccer by themselves. They have fun again. They say, "We don't need the big boy. We have each other. We are a good team." They smile and hug. +Anna and Ben were young and liked to play outside. They had a big bag of seeds that they wanted to scatter on the ground for the birds. They walked to the bridge over the river and looked at the water. + +"Let's scatter the seeds here," Anna said. "The birds will come and eat them and we can watch them." + +Ben nodded and opened the bag. He threw some seeds on the bridge and some in the air. Anna did the same. They laughed as they saw the seeds fly and fall. + +But then they heard a loud honk. A big car was coming on the bridge. The driver saw the seeds on the road and was angry. He stopped the car and got out. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing? You are making a mess and a danger! The seeds can make the car slip and crash! And the birds can get hit by the car! You should not scatter seeds on the bridge!" + +Anna and Ben were scared and sorry. They did not think about the car and the birds. They wanted to be nice, not bad. + +"We are sorry, sir," Anna said. "We did not know. We wanted to feed the birds." + +"Well, you should think before you act," the driver said. "The bridge is not a good place to scatter seeds. You should find a safer and cleaner place, like a park or a garden. And you should always be careful on the road. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said sorry again and picked up the seeds they could. The driver got back in his car and drove away. Anna and Ben decided to go to the park and scatter the seeds there. They learned their lesson and never scattered seeds on the bridge again. +Lily and Sam liked to play with their toy cars. They made them zoom and crash and beep on the floor. Lily had a red car and Sam had a blue car. They pretended to be drivers and raced each other. + +One day, they found a big hill in the park. They thought it would be fun to make their cars soar down the hill. They climbed up the hill with their cars and got ready to let them go. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted and let her car roll down the hill. Sam did the same. They watched their cars fly and spin and bounce on the grass. + +But then, something bad happened. Lily's car hit a rock and broke. The wheel came off and the door fell off. Lily ran to her car and cried. + +"Look what you did!" she yelled at Sam. "You made my car break!" + +"I didn't do anything!" Sam said. "It was the rock. It was an accident." + +Lily was very angry. She picked up Sam's car and threw it as far as she could. Sam's car soared in the air and landed in a pond. Sam ran to the pond and cried. + +"Look what you did!" he yelled at Lily. "You made my car wet!" + +Lily and Sam were both very sad. They had no cars to play with. They sat on the hill and looked at each other. + +"I'm sorry I threw your car," Lily said. + +"I'm sorry I made your car break," Sam said. + +They hugged and said they were sorry. They decided to share their cars and fix them together. They found some sticks and leaves and flowers and made their cars look new and pretty. They learned to be kind and careful with their toys. They were happy and healthy and good friends. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and ran to it. + +"Can I go first?" Tom asked. + +"OK, but then it's my turn," Lily said. + +Tom climbed up the ladder and slid down. He laughed and felt happy. He wanted to go again. + +"Tom, share the slide with Lily," his mom said. + +"But I like the slide," Tom said. + +Lily felt sad. She waited for Tom to let her go. She saw a yellow butterfly and followed it. It flew to a bench where a man was eating a sandwich. The man saw Lily and smiled. + +"Hello, little girl. Do you like butterflies?" he asked. + +"Yes, they are pretty," Lily said. + +"Do you want some of my sandwich? It has butter and cheese," he offered. + +Lily nodded. She was hungry. She took a bite of the sandwich. It was cold and tasty. + +"Thank you, mister," she said. + +"You're welcome. What's your name?" he asked. + +"Lily," she said. + +"I'm Jack. Where's your mom?" he asked. + +Lily pointed to the slide. She saw Tom still sliding and having fun. She felt angry. + +"Tom is not sharing the slide with me. He is mean," she said. + +Jack frowned. He had an idea. + +"Why don't you share some of your sandwich with him? Maybe he will share the slide with you then," he suggested. + +Lily thought about it. She liked the sandwich, but she also wanted to slide. She decided to try. + +"OK, I will share," she said. + +She walked to the slide with the sandwich in her hand. She called Tom. + +"Tom, do you want some sandwich? It has butter and cheese," she said. + +Tom stopped sliding. He looked at the sandwich. He was hungry too. + +"OK, I want some sandwich," he said. + +He came down and took a bite of the sandwich. He liked it. + +"Thank you, Lily. This is good," he said. + +"You're welcome, Tom. Can I slide now?" she asked. + +Tom nodded. He felt sorry. + +"OK, you can slide now. I'm sorry I was mean. Let's share the slide," he said. + +Lily smiled. She climbed up the ladder and slid down. She laughed and felt happy. She shared the slide with Tom. + +Tom and Lily were friends again. They learned to share and be nice. Their moms were proud of them. They had a fun day at the park. +Lily wanted to smell like Mommy. She saw Mommy's perfume on the dresser. It was in a shiny bottle with a pink cap. Lily climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. She wanted to hold it and spray it on herself. + +But the bottle was too heavy for Lily. She dropped it on the floor. It broke into pieces. The perfume spilled everywhere. It smelled strong and made Lily cough. She felt scared and sad. She started to cry. + +Mommy heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the mess and Lily's tears. She was angry and worried. She said, "Lily, what did you do? This was my perfume. It was very expensive. You are very stupid. You could have hurt yourself. You are in big trouble." + +Lily felt worse. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted to smell like you. I love you. Please don't be mad at me." + +Mommy sighed. She saw Lily's face and felt sorry for her. She said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to be careful. You can't touch things that are not yours. You have to ask me first. And you are not stupid. You are just curious. But you have to learn from your mistakes. Now let's clean up this mess and get you some fresh clothes." +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play at the beach. They liked to build sand castles, dig holes, and splash in the water. One day, they saw a furry dog running on the sand. The dog was brown and white and had a long tail. + +"Look, a dog!" Tim said. "Can we pet him?" + +"Let's ask his owner first," Sam said. They ran after the dog and saw a man sitting on a towel. He had a hat and sunglasses. + +"Excuse me, sir, can we pet your dog?" Sam asked. + +"Sure, kids, his name is Spot. He's very friendly," the man said. + +Tim and Sam smiled and reached out to touch Spot. Spot wagged his tail and licked their hands. He was soft and warm. + +"Spot, you're so cute!" Tim said. "Can we play with you?" + +"Of course, he loves to play. You can throw his ball for him, he'll fetch it," the man said. He gave them a red ball and pointed to the water. + +Tim and Sam took turns throwing the ball for Spot. Spot ran and jumped and caught the ball in his mouth. He brought it back to them and dropped it at their feet. They laughed and clapped. + +They played with Spot for a long time, until the sun started to go down. The man looked at his watch and said, "Sorry, kids, we have to go now. It's getting late." + +Tim and Sam felt sad. They liked Spot so much. They hugged him and said goodbye. + +"Thank you for letting us play with your dog, sir," Sam said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Maybe we'll see you again another day," the man said. He picked up his towel and ball and walked away with Spot. + +Tim and Sam watched them go. They felt a tear in their eye. They wanted to play with Spot more. + +They started to weep. They wept and wept. They missed Spot. + +Their mom saw them and came over. She hugged them and asked, "What's wrong, boys?" + +"We played with a dog, mom. His name was Spot. He was furry and fun. But he had to go. We miss him," Tim said. + +"We want Spot, mom. Can we have a dog like him?" Sam said. + +Their mom smiled and wiped their tears. She said, "I know you liked Spot, boys. He was a nice dog. But you can't have a dog like him right now. We live in a small apartment. We don't have enough space for a dog. Maybe when we move to a bigger house, we can get a dog. OK?" + +Tim and Sam nodded. They understood. They still felt sad, but they felt better. + +Their mom said, "Come on, boys, let's go home. We can have some ice cream on the way. How does that sound?" + +Tim and Sam smiled. They liked ice cream. They said, "OK, mom. Let's go." + +They held their mom's hand and walked away from the beach. They looked back and waved at Spot. They hoped to see him again. They loved him. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend the cars are going on a journey. + +"Let's race our cars!" Tom says. He picks a red car. Sue picks a blue car. They line up their cars on the floor. + +"Ready, set, go!" Sue says.

They packed some food, some water, and some toys in a big bag. They said goodbye to their mom and dad, and started to walk. + +They walked for a long time, until they saw a big hill. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. They put their bag down and started to climb. They climbed and climbed, until they reached the top. + +"Wow!" Tom said. "Look at that!" + +Mia looked and saw a big lake. The lake was blue and shiny, and had many fish and ducks. The lake looked like a good place to jump. + +"Let's go!" Mia said. "Maybe we can jump in the water!" + +They ran down the hill and reached the lake. They took off their shoes and socks, and dipped their toes in the water.

They liked to play with their toys and draw pictures. One day, Lily had a good idea. She said to Ben, "Let's make a note for Mom. We can say we love her and draw a heart." Ben nodded and smiled. He liked to make Mom happy. + +They found some paper and crayons. Lily wrote the words and Ben drew the heart. They made the note very pretty and colorful. They looked for a good place to put it. They saw a thin book on the table. It was Mom's diary. Lily said, "Let's put the note in the book. Mom will see it when she writes in her diary." Ben agreed and they slipped the note inside the book. + +They ran to their room and waited for Mom to come home. They were very excited. They hoped Mom would like their note. They heard the door open and Mom's voice. They ran to the living room and hugged her. Mom said, "Hello, my sweeties. How was your day?" Lily and Ben said, "Good, Mom. We have a surprise for you." Mom said, "Really? What is it?" + +Lily and Ben said, "It's in your book. The thin one on the table." Mom looked puzzled. She said, "My book? What book?" She walked to the table and picked up the diary. She opened it and saw the note. She read it and smiled. She said, "Oh, this is so lovely. Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are so thoughtful. I love you too." She hugged them and kissed them. Lily and Ben were very happy. They had made Mom happy. + +The note reminded Mom of how much her children loved her. It also reminded her of how much she loved them. She decided to write in her diary about the note and how it made her feel. She wrote, "Today, I received the best gift ever. A note from Lily and Ben. They said they love me and drew a heart. It was so sweet and beautiful. It made me cry and smile at the same time. I am so lucky to have them. They are my sunshine." She closed the diary and put it back on the table. She looked at Lily and Ben and said, "Let's go and have some cookies. You deserve a treat." They cheered and followed her to the kitchen. They had a happy afternoon together. +Anna and Ben were very excite to go to the zoo with their mom. They had never seen so many animals before. Mom said they could feed the giraffes if they were good. + +"Look, mom, look!" Ben shouted, pointing at a big, tall, yellow and brown animal with a long neck. "It's a giraffe!" + +"Yes, it is, Ben. Do you want to feed it?" Mom asked, holding a bag of carrots. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben and Anna said, jumping up and down. + +Mom gave them each a carrot and led them to a fence where the giraffe was waiting. The giraffe lowered its head and stretched out its tongue. It was very long and purple. + +"Wow, incredible!" Anna said, holding out her carrot. + +The giraffe licked the carrot and took a bite. It made a funny sound and nodded its head. + +"Thank you, giraffe!" Ben said, giving his carrot too. + +The giraffe ate Ben's carrot and smiled. It looked very happy. + +"Can we pet it, mom?" Anna asked, reaching out her hand. + +"Be careful, Anna. The giraffe might not like that. You have to ask first," Mom said. + +"How do we ask, mom?" Ben asked. + +Mom showed them how to hold out their hand and let the giraffe sniff it. The giraffe sniffed their hands and licked them gently. + +"It likes us, mom!" Anna said, giggling. + +"Yes, it does. You are very kind to the giraffe," Mom said. + +They petted the giraffe's soft fur and felt its warm breath. They felt very lucky and happy. + +"Can we see more animals, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, Ben. There are many more animals to see. But first, let's give the giraffe a tip," Mom said. + +"A tip? What's a tip, mom?" Anna asked. + +"A tip is something you give to someone who does something nice for you. Like a thank you," Mom said. + +She took out a coin and put it in a box near the fence. The box had a sign that said "Help the giraffes". + +"See, Anna, Ben? This is a tip. It helps the giraffes have food and water and a nice home," Mom said. + +"Oh, I see, mom. That's very nice," Anna said. + +"Yes, mom. Thank you for taking us to the zoo. It's the best day ever!" Ben said. + +They hugged Mom and waved goodbye to the giraffe. They walked to see more animals, wondering what incredible things they would see next. +Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They have a big sack with toys and snacks. They see a flag on a pole. The flag is red and white and blue. + +"Let's play with the flag!" Ben says. He runs to the pole and tries to pull the flag down. + +"No, Ben, don't do that!" Lily says. "The flag is not for us. It is for the park. It is rude to take it." + +But Ben does not listen. He pulls harder and harder. The flag comes off the pole. Ben is happy.

Lily wanted to climb the tree, but Tom was scared. + +"Come on, Tom, it will be fun!" Lily said. "We can see the whole yard from up there!" + +"No, Lily, it is too high. The tree is old and might break. I don't want to fall and hurt myself." Tom said. + +Lily did not listen to Tom. She ran to the tree and started to climb. She grabbed a branch and pulled herself up. She felt very brave and happy. She looked down at Tom and smiled. + +"See, Tom, it is not so bad. You should try it too!" Lily said. + +Tom shook his head. He did not want to climb the tree. He stayed on the ground and watched Lily. He hoped she would be careful. + +But Lily was not careful. She wanted to go higher and higher. She reached for another branch, but it was too thin and weak.

They put him in the washing machine and gave him some soap. They hoped he would not be sad or hurt. + +Teddy was not sad or hurt. He was jolly and proud. He had helped his friends and saved the sauce. He knew they would take good care of him. He closed his eyes and spun around. He felt happy and warm. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They see a big cactus with many sharp needles. Tom wants to touch it, but Lily says no. + +"Don't touch the cactus, Tom. It will hurt you," Lily says. + +"But it looks so nice and green. I want to see how it feels," Tom says. + +He reaches out his hand and pokes the cactus. Ouch! He feels a sharp pain and pulls back his hand. He sees a red drop of blood on his finger. + +"Tom, you are bleeding! Come, we need to bathe your finger," Lily says. + +She takes Tom's hand and runs to the house. They go to the bathroom and turn on the tap. Lily washes Tom's finger with water and soap. She wraps a band-aid around it. + +"There, now it will get better. You were very brave, Tom," Lily says. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I'm sorry I touched the cactus. It was not nice and green. It was mean and fast," Tom says. + +They hug and smile. They go back to the garden and play with their toys. They stay away from the cactus. They have learned their lesson. +Tom and Lily were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Tom ran behind a big tree and waited for Lily to find him. He heard Lily counting to ten and then saying, "Ready or not, here I come!" + +Tom smiled and stayed very quiet. He hoped Lily would not see him. He looked around and saw a small hole in the tree. He wondered what was inside. He put his hand in the hole and felt something soft and furry. He pulled his hand out and saw a black and white animal. It had a long tail and a funny face. Tom did not recognize the animal. He thought it was a cat. + +"Meow," Tom said to the animal. He wanted to pet it. The animal did not like Tom. It made a loud noise and sprayed a bad smell at Tom. Tom felt wet and stinky. He screamed and ran away from the tree. + +Lily heard Tom scream and ran to him. She saw him covered in a wet and smelly spray. She also saw the animal behind the tree. She recognized the animal. It was a skunk. + +"Tom, that's not a cat, that's a skunk!" Lily said. "Skunks spray when they are scared or angry. You made the skunk spray you!" + +Tom felt sad and silly. He did not know what a skunk was. He wished he had not touched the hole in the tree. He wanted to go home and take a bath. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I did not mean to make the skunk spray me. I thought it was a cat." + +"It's okay, Tom," Lily said. "It was an accident. But next time, be careful what you touch. Some animals are not friendly. Come on, let's go home and tell mom what happened. Maybe she can help you get rid of the smell." + +Tom and Lily walked home together. They held their noses and hoped the skunk would not follow them. They learned a new word and a new animal. They also learned to not play hide and seek near a big tree with a hole. +Mia and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They loved to see the flowers bloom in the spring. They also liked to pretend they were doctors and nurses. They had a toy thermometer that they used to check each other's temperature. + +One day, they found a new flower in the garden. It was big and red and smelled sweet. Mia wanted to pick it and give it to their mom. Ben wanted to keep it and put it in a vase. They started to fight over the flower. + +"Give it to me!" Mia shouted. "It's mine!" + +"No, it's mine!" Ben yelled. "I saw it first!" + +They pulled and tugged at the flower until it broke. The petals fell to the ground. Mia and Ben both started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw the broken flower and the crying twins. She was very angry. + +"What have you done?" she asked. "That was a special flower. It was a gift from grandma. She grew it in her garden. She sent it to us because she is sick and can't visit us. You have spoiled it!" + +Mia and Ben felt very sorry. They wanted to say sorry to mom and grandma. But mom was too upset. She took the toy thermometer and threw it in the trash. She said they could not play in the garden anymore. She sent them to their room without any snacks. + +Mia and Ben sat on their bed and hugged each other. They wished they had not fought over the flower. They wished they had not spoiled grandma's gift. They wished they had a real thermometer to make her feel better. They wished they could see her again. They were very sad. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big cliff near their house. It was very high and steep, and had many rocks and trees on it. + +"Let's go and test the cliff!" Tom said. He was brave and curious, and wanted to see what was on the other side. + +"No, Tom, that's too dangerous!" Sam said. He was careful and smart, and knew that the cliff was not a good place to play. + +But Tom did not listen to Sam. He was selfish and stubborn, and only thought about himself. He ran towards the cliff, leaving Sam behind. + +"Tom, come back!" Sam shouted. He was worried and scared, and followed his brother. + +Tom reached the edge of the cliff, and looked down. He saw a river far below, and some birds flying in the sky. He felt excited and proud, and wanted to go closer. + +"Look, Sam, I can test the cliff!" Tom said. He leaned over the edge, and tried to touch a rock. + +But he lost his balance, and slipped. He screamed and fell, and grabbed a branch on the way down. + +"Tom, help!" Sam cried. He ran to the edge, and saw his brother hanging from the branch. He was terrified and sorry, and reached out his hand. + +"Sam, help!" Tom cried. He was hurt and afraid, and held on to the branch. + +Sam grabbed Tom's hand, and pulled him up. He hugged him, and said, "Tom, I'm so glad you're okay. Don't ever test the cliff again. It's too dangerous. You could have died." + +Tom hugged Sam, and said, "Sam, I'm so sorry. I was selfish and stupid. I should have listened to you. You're a good brother. Thank you for saving me." + +They walked back to their house, holding hands. They learned a lesson that day, and never tested the cliff again. They were happy and safe, and loved each other. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals or cars or superheroes. But their mom was working in the kitchen and she needed some quiet. + +"Ben, Lily, please be quiet for a little while. Mom has to finish some work and then we can play together," she said. + +But Ben and Lily did not want to be quiet. They wanted to keep playing and making noises. They did not listen to their mom. They thought it was normal to be loud and have fun. + +"Roar! I'm a lion and I'm going to eat you!" Ben said, chasing Lily with his toy lion. + +"Vroom! I'm a car and I'm going to run away from you!" Lily said, zooming around with her toy car. + +Their mom heard them and came to the living room. She looked at them with a serious face. + +"Ben, Lily, I asked you to be quiet. Why are you not listening to me?" she said. + +Ben and Lily looked at their mom. They felt a little bad, but they still wanted to play. + +"Sorry, mom, but we are having fun. We don't want to be quiet. We want to play," they said. + +Their mom sighed. She knew they were just kids, but she also needed some peace. + +"Listen, kids, I know you want to play, but you have to be quiet for a little while. It's not normal to be so loud all the time. Sometimes you have to resist your urge to make noises and be respectful of others. Do you understand?" she said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood their mom, but they still felt bored. + +"Okay, mom, we will try to be quiet. But can we play something else?" they asked. + +Their mom smiled. She was glad they were willing to try. + +"Sure, you can play something else. How about you play a game of I spy? You can use your eyes and your brains, but not your mouths. Do you want to try that?" she said. + +Ben and Lily nodded again. They liked the game of I spy. They thought it was fun and challenging. + +"Okay, mom, we will play I spy. You go first," they said. + +Their mom nodded. She was happy they agreed to play a quiet game. She hoped they would enjoy it and let her finish her work. + +"Okay, kids, I spy with my little eye something that is red and round and sweet. Can you guess what it is?" she said. + +Ben and Lily looked around the living room. They saw many things, but they did not see anything that was red and round and sweet. They thought hard and tried to guess. + +"Is it a ball?" Ben asked. + +"No, it's not a ball," their mom said. + +"Is it a balloon?" Lily asked. + +"No, it's not a balloon," their mom said. + +Ben and Lily were puzzled. They did not know what it was. They kept looking and thinking. + +"Is it a...?" Ben started to say, but then he saw it. He saw what it was. He smiled and pointed. + +"It's an apple!" he said. + +Their mom smiled and clapped. + +"Yes, it's an apple! Well done, Ben! You guessed it right!" she said. + +Lily smiled and clapped too. + +"Good job, Ben! You are smart!" she said. + +Ben felt proud and happy. He liked the game of I spy. He liked to be quiet and use his eyes and his brains. He looked at his mom and his sister and said: + +"Thank you, mom. Thank you, Lily. This is a fun game. Can I go next?" he said. + +Their mom nodded and hugged him. + +"Of course, you can go next, Ben. I'm proud of you for being quiet and respectful. And I'm proud of you too, Lily. You are both good kids. I love you," she said. + +Ben and Lily hugged their mom back. + +"We love you too, mom. You are the best," they said. + +They played the game of I spy for a while. They were quiet and respectful and had fun. Their mom finished her work and joined them. They were a happy family. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. But they do not like to share. They always want the same toy and they fight over it. They make a lot of noise and they make their mom and dad sad. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom and dad. They see a big network of ropes and swings. It looks like fun. But they do not know how to play on it. They need help from other kids. They see other kids playing on the network. They are happy and they share. + +Tom and Sue want to join them. But they are shy and scared. They do not know how to make friends. They look at each other and they have an idea. They decide to unite. They hold hands and walk to the network. They smile and say hello to the other kids. They ask if they can play with them. The other kids say yes and they welcome them. They show them how to play on the network. They take turns and they help each other. They have a lot of fun. + +Tom and Sue learn a lesson. They learn that sharing is good and that making friends is easy. They learn that playing on the network is more fun than playing with blocks and cars. They learn that uniting is better than fighting. They make their mom and dad happy. They become regular friends with the other kids. They are happy too. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the floor and make noises. + +One day, Sam says, "Let's sort our cars. I want to see how many we have." Ben agrees. They start to put the cars in groups. They sort them by color, by size, by shape, and by type. + +"Look, I have more red cars than you," Sam says. "And you have more big cars than me." + +"Red cars are fast, but big cars are strong," Ben says. "I like both." + +They keep sorting until they have no more cars left. Then they count them. Sam has 12 cars and Ben has 14 cars. + +"Wow, we have so many cars," Sam says. "We are great drivers." + +"But we need licenses to drive," Ben says. "Where can we get them?" + +Sam thinks for a moment. Then he has an idea. He runs to his room and comes back with some paper and crayons. He says, "We can make our own licenses. We just need to draw our faces and write our names." + +They sit down and start to make their licenses. They draw their faces with big smiles and curly hair. They write their names in big letters. They are very proud of their work. + +"Look, we have licenses now," Sam says. "We can drive anywhere we want." + +Ben nods. He says, "Let's go for a ride. We can take our cars and explore the house." + +They grab their cars and their licenses and run to the door. They are ready for a new adventure. +Lily was a little girl who liked to jump. She jumped on her bed, on the sofa, on the grass and on the rocks. She jumped high and low, fast and slow, with a smile and a laugh. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. There were many things to jump on in the park. There was a slide, a swing, a seesaw and a sandbox. Lily jumped on all of them and had a lot of fun. + +But then, she saw something new. It was a big, red ball. It was bigger than her head and very round. Lily wanted to jump on it. She ran to the ball and pushed it with her hands. It rolled away and bounced on the ground. Lily followed it and jumped on it with her feet. It bounced higher and higher, and so did Lily. + +Lily was happy and excited. She felt like she was flying in the air. She did not see where she was going. She did not hear her mom and dad calling her name. She only saw the ball and felt the wind. + +But then, something bad happened. The ball bounced too high and too far. It went over the fence and into the street. Lily jumped after it and landed on the road. She saw a big, loud car coming towards her. She was scared and sad. She wanted to go back to the park, to her mom and dad, to her home. + +But she could not move. She was stuck on the road. She closed her eyes and screamed. + +But then, something good happened. A big, brown dog ran to her. It was a friendly dog. It barked at the car and made it stop. It licked Lily's face and made her calm. It picked her up with its mouth and carried her to the fence. It put her down and wagged its tail. + +Lily opened her eyes and saw the dog. She hugged it and thanked it. She saw her mom and dad running to her. They hugged her and kissed her. They were happy and relieved. They took her home and gave her a warm bath, a sweet snack and a soft bed. + +Lily was tired and sleepy. She cuddled with her mom and dad and the dog. She felt safe and loved. She closed her eyes and dreamed of jumping. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the living room. But sometimes they do not behave. They jump on the furniture and make a lot of noise. Mom does not like that. + +One day, Mom says, "Tom and Mia, you have to behave. You are not allowed to jump on the furniture. It is not good for the furniture or for you. You can hurt yourself or break something. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Mia nod. They say, "Yes, Mom, we understand. We are sorry. We will behave." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tom and Mia. You are good children. I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the kitchen." + +Tom and Mia follow Mom to the kitchen. They see a big cake on the table. It has chocolate and sprinkles on it. Mom says, "This is for you. You can have a slice of cake if you behave. It is a regular cake, not a birthday cake. But it is still yummy. Do you like it?" + +Tom and Mia clap their hands. They say, "Yes, Mom, we like it. It looks delicious. Thank you, Mom. You are the best. We will behave. We promise." + +Mom hugs Tom and Mia. She says, "You are welcome, Tom and Mia. You are the best, too. I love you. Now, let's enjoy the cake together." +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a big box of toys. He opens the box and shows Anna his toys. He has cars, trains, dolls, and blocks. + +"Look, Anna, this is my favorite car. It is red and fast. It can make motion. See?" Tom says. He pushes the car on the floor and it zooms away. + +"Wow, Tom, your car is cool. Can I try?" Anna asks. She picks up the car and pushes it too. But the car does not move. It is broken. + +"Oh no, Anna, what did you do? You broke my car!" Tom cries. He is sad and angry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I didn't mean to. Maybe we can fix it." Anna says. She is sorry and scared. + +They look at the car and see a loose wheel. They try to put it back, but it falls off again. They need something to hold it. + +"Maybe we can use this tape." Tom says. He finds a roll of tape in his box. He tears a piece and wraps it around the wheel and the car. He pushes the car again. It moves a little, but not very well. + +"It's still not good, Tom. The tape is not reliable. It does not stick well." Anna says. + +"Maybe we need something else." Tom says. He looks in his box again. He sees a glue bottle. He opens the glue and squeezes some on the wheel and the car. He presses them together and waits. + +"Let's try now." Tom says. He pushes the car again. It zooms away like before. + +"Yay, Tom, you fixed it! The glue is reliable. It sticks well." Anna says. + +"Thank you, Anna, for helping me. You are a good friend." Tom says. + +They smile and hug. They play with the car and the other toys. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their toys, read books, and watch TV together. They had a cable that let them watch many shows on the big screen. + +One day, Tom had to go away with his family. He was sad to leave Lily. He gave her a hug and said, "I will miss you, Lily. You are my perfect friend." + +"I will miss you too, Tom. You are my perfect friend. When will you come back?" Lily asked. + +"Soon, I hope. Maybe in two weeks. I will call you when I can," Tom said. + +Tom and Lily waved goodbye and got in their cars. Lily felt a big hole in her heart. She wished Tom could stay. + +The next day, Lily tried to watch TV, but it did not work. She asked her mom what was wrong. Her mom said, "The cable is broken, Lily. We have to wait for someone to fix it. It might take a few days." + +Lily was very upset. She could not watch her favorite shows. She could not talk to Tom. She felt lonely and bored. She cried and said, "I want Tom. I want cable. I want to be happy." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I know, Lily. I know. It's hard to miss someone you love. It's hard to lose something you enjoy. But you are not alone. I am here for you. And Tom will come back soon. And the cable will be fixed soon. We just have to be patient and brave. Can you do that, Lily?" + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "Yes, mom. I can do that. I love you, mom. And I love Tom. And I love cable. But I can wait. I can find other things to do. Like play with my toys. Or read books. Or draw pictures. Or sing songs. Or hug you." + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's my girl. You are very smart and strong, Lily. And you are my perfect daughter." +Lily and Sam love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favourite is the aeroplane. The aeroplane is big and red and makes a loud noise when they push a button. + +One day, Lily and Sam decide to go on an adventure with the aeroplane. They pick up the aeroplane and run to the garden. They pretend the garden is a big airport and the aeroplane is ready to fly. + +"Where do you want to go, Sam?" Lily asks. + +"I want to go to the moon!" Sam says. + +"Okay, let's go to the moon!" Lily says. + +They put the aeroplane on the grass and sit inside. They buckle their seatbelts and push the button. The aeroplane makes a loud noise and starts to move. + +"Wow, this is incredible!" Lily says. + +They look out the window and see the sky. They see the sun, the clouds, and the birds. They pretend they are flying higher and higher, until they reach the moon. + +"Look, Lily, we made it to the moon!" Sam says. + +They see the moon is big and white and has many craters. They pretend they are walking on the moon and jumping high. + +"This is the best adventure ever!" Lily says. + +They hug each other and smile. They are very happy. They love their aeroplane and their imagination. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big wheel that they can ride. They take turns to push and sit on the wheel. + +One day, they see a man with a cart. The cart has many ice creams. The ice creams have different colors and shapes. Lily and Ben want to try the ice creams. They run to the man and ask him. + +"Can we have some ice creams, please?" they say. + +"Sure, you can," the man says. "But you have to pay me one coin for each ice cream." + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They do not have any coins. They only have their wheel. They feel sad. + +"Can we give you our wheel for some ice creams?" Lily asks. + +The man thinks for a moment. He likes the wheel. It looks fun and shiny. He nods and smiles. + +"OK, you can," he says. "But you have to share the ice creams with me." + +Lily and Ben agree. They give the man their wheel. The man gives them three ice creams. One for Lily, one for Ben, and one for himself. They sit on a bench and eat the ice creams. The ice creams are delicious. They are cold and sweet and creamy. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They thank the man for the ice creams. The man thanks them for the wheel. He says he will use it to carry his cart. He says he will come back to the park tomorrow. He says he will bring more ice creams. + +Lily and Ben say they will come back too. They say they will bring some coins. They say they will buy more ice creams. They say they will ride the wheel again. They say goodbye to the man and hug each other. They are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big wheel that they can ride. They take turns to push and sit on the wheel. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big swamp near their house. They wanted to explore it, but their mom said no. She said the swamp was dirty and dangerous, and they could get lost or hurt. + +But Lily and Ben were curious and naughty. They waited until their mom was busy, and then they sneaked out of the house. They ran to the swamp, holding hands. They saw frogs and bugs and plants. They thought it was fun and exciting. + +They saw a big log that crossed the swamp. They wanted to walk on it, like a bridge. Ben went first, and Lily followed. But the log was slippery and rotten. It broke under their feet, and they fell into the swamp. They were wet and muddy and scared. They cried for help, but no one heard them. + +They tried to swim to the shore, but the swamp was deep and sticky. They felt something move under the water. They saw a big, green, scaly head. It was a crocodile! It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. It was hungry and angry. It wanted to eat them. + +Lily and Ben were very frightened. They screamed and kicked and splashed. They thought they were going to die. But then they heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She had heard their cries and followed their tracks. She had a big stick in her hand. She ran to the swamp and hit the crocodile on the head. The crocodile was hurt and scared. It let go of Lily and Ben and swam away. + +Lily and Ben were safe. They hugged their mom and said sorry. They were sorry for disobeying her and going to the swamp. They learned their lesson. They never went to the swamp again. They were happy to be alive and loved. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a toy gun in the park. It is black and shiny. Sam picks it up and says, "Look, Ben, I have a gun. I can shoot anything I want." + +Ben is scared. He says, "No, Sam, that is not a good toy. It can hurt someone. Put it down and let's go." + +Sam does not listen. He says, "You are a baby, Ben. I am brave. I want to have fun. Watch me shoot that bus." He points the toy gun at a big yellow bus that is driving on the road. + +Ben shouts, "Stop, Sam, stop! That is not a toy bus. That is a real bus. There are people inside. You can make them crash." + +But Sam does not stop. He pulls the trigger and makes a loud bang. The toy gun is not a toy. It is a real gun. It shoots a bullet at the bus. The bullet hits the bus and makes a hole. The bus driver is scared. He loses control of the bus. The bus swerves and hits a tree. The bus stops and smoke comes out. The people inside are hurt and cry. + +Sam and Ben are shocked. They drop the gun and run away. They hide behind a wall and hope no one sees them. They are very sorry and very afraid. They wish they had not played with the gun. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with things you do not know. They can be dangerous and cause harm. Listen to your friends who care about you. Guns are not toys. They are not for fun. They are for adults who know how to use them. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to tell jokes to each other. They made each other laugh a lot. + +One day, it was very cold and windy. Ben and Lily wore warm hats, coats and gloves. But they still felt cold. They shivered as they walked to the park. They hoped the sun would come out soon. + +When they got to the park, they saw a big pile of leaves. They decided to jump in it and have fun. They threw leaves in the air and buried each other. They forgot about the cold for a while. + +Then, Ben had an idea. He said to Lily, "I have a joke for you. Do you want to hear it?" Lily nodded. She liked Ben's jokes. They were funny and clever. Ben was gifted at telling jokes. + +Ben said, "What do you get when you cross a snowman and a vampire?" Lily thought hard. She did not know the answer. She said, "I don't know. What do you get?" Ben smiled and said, "Frostbite!" He laughed and waited for Lily to laugh too. + +But Lily did not laugh. She screamed. She felt a sharp pain in her neck. She looked at Ben and saw his teeth. They were long and pointy. He was not Ben. He was a vampire. He had tricked her with his joke. He had bitten her. He had made her his lunch. + +Lily tried to run away, but it was too late. She fell to the ground. She felt cold and weak. She shivered and cried. She wished she had never come to the park. She wished she had never heard Ben's joke. She wished she had a real friend. +Sara and Tom liked each other very much. They played together every day at the park. They shared their toys and snacks. They said they wanted to marry when they grew up. + +One day, Sara and Tom went to the ice cream shop. They each got a cone with their favorite flavor. Sara had chocolate and Tom had vanilla. They were very happy. + +But then, a big boy came and took Sara's cone. He said it was his and he liked chocolate. Sara was very sad and cried. Tom tried to get the cone back, but the big boy pushed him and ran away. + +Sara and Tom had no ice cream left. They were very angry and hurt. They blamed each other for losing their cones. They said mean things and stopped being friends. + +They never played together again. They never married. They never had original cones. They were very lonely. The end. +Tom and Lily are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Tom says. He shows Lily his tower that is taller than him. He is very proud of his tower. + +"Wow, Tom, your tower is very nice!" Lily says. She likes Tom's tower, but she also wants to make her own. She looks for more blocks, but there are not many left. She sees some blocks on Tom's tower that she likes. She reaches for them. + +"Hey, Lily, don't touch my tower!" Tom says. He sees Lily trying to take his blocks. He is afraid that his tower will fall. He pushes Lily's hand away. + +"Ow, Tom, that hurts!" Lily says. She feels Tom's push and she is angry. She pushes Tom back. Tom loses his balance and falls. He drops his tower and it breaks into many pieces. + +"Look what you did, Lily! You broke my tower!" Tom says. He is very sad and he cries. He worked hard on his tower and now it is gone. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I didn't mean to break your tower!" Lily says. She is also sad and she cries. She wanted to play with Tom and share his blocks, but she made a mistake. + +Tom and Lily are both sad and they cry. They don't want to play anymore. They sit on the floor and look at the broken blocks. They wish they could start again. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many birds. They want to see the birds up close. They find a ladder and put it next to the tree. + +"Let's go up the ladder and look at the birds," Tom says. + +"OK, but be careful. The ladder is high and the birds might fly away," Lily says. + +They climb the ladder slowly and quietly. They reach the top and see a nest with three eggs. They are blue and shiny. + +"Wow, look at the eggs. They are so pretty," Lily says. + +"Can we touch them?" Tom asks. + +"No, we can't. They are not ours. They belong to the birds. We should leave them alone," Lily says. + +But Tom does not listen. He reaches out his hand and tries to grab an egg. He does not see the trap on the nest. It is a net with a string. When Tom touches the egg, the net falls on him and the string pulls him up. He is stuck in the trap. + +"Help, help! I'm in a trap!" Tom cries. + +Lily is scared. She does not know what to do. She sees the birds coming back. They are angry and loud. They fly around the trap and peck at Tom. + +"Go away, go away! You are bad. You tried to take our eggs. You are in our part of the tree," the birds say. + +Lily runs down the ladder and looks for help. She sees a man with a hat and a badge. He is a park ranger. She runs to him and tells him what happened. + +"Please, please, help my friend. He is in a trap in the tree. The birds are mad at him. He is sorry. He did not mean to hurt the eggs," Lily says. + +The park ranger follows Lily to the tree. He sees Tom in the trap and the birds around him. He takes out a knife and cuts the string. He frees Tom from the trap and brings him down. + +"Are you OK, son? You should not touch the birds' nests. They are their homes and their babies. You have to respect them and their part," the park ranger says. + +"I'm OK, sir. I'm sorry. I was curious. I won't do it again," Tom says. + +The park ranger nods and smiles.

She grabbed a vine and swung high in the air. She felt happy and free. She said to Tom, "This is fun! You try it!" + +Tom nodded and grabbed another vine. He swung too, but his vine was not strong. It broke and Tom fell to the ground. He hit his head on a rock and felt a lot of pain. He cried and cried. + +Lila heard Tom cry and ran to him. She saw blood on his head and felt scared. She tried to support him and said, "Don't worry, Tom. I will get help." + +But there was no one in the forest to help them. Lila did not know what to do. She hugged Tom and cried too. They were alone and hurt. The sun was setting and it was getting dark. They felt cold and hungry. They wished they had not played on the vines. They wished they had stayed home. +Lily loved to soar in the air. She had a big red balloon that her dad gave her. She tied a string to the balloon and held it tight. She ran around the park and felt the balloon pull her up. She laughed and shouted, "I'm flying, I'm flying!" + +Her dad smiled and ran with her. He said, "You are soaring, Lily. You are soaring like a bird. Do you see the birds in the sky? They soar too. They have wings and feathers. They sing and chirp. Do you like birds, Lily?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I like birds, dad. They are pretty and friendly. Can we feed them some bread? I have some in my pocket." + +Her dad said, "Sure, we can feed them some bread. But we have to be careful. We don't want to lose your balloon. It might fly away and hit the ceiling. The ceiling is very high and hard. It is not like the sky. The sky is soft and blue. The balloon likes the sky. It does not like the ceiling." + +Lily said, "OK, dad. I will hold my balloon tight. I don't want to lose it. It is my favorite balloon. It is modest and red. It makes me happy. It makes me soar." +Sara and Ben are twins. They have a birthday today. They are happy. They get many presents from Mom and Dad. They also get a big cake with candles. + +Sara opens her present. It is a doll. She likes dolls. She hugs the doll and says, "Thank you, Mom and Dad!" + +Ben opens his present. It is a car. He likes cars. He pushes the car and makes vroom noises. He says, "Thank you, Mom and Dad!" + +But then Ben sees Sara's doll. He wants the doll. He is jealous. He says, "I want the doll, too!" + +Sara says, "No, it is my doll. You have the car. The car is fun." + +Ben says, "No, the car is boring. The doll is better. Give me the doll!" + +Sara says, "No, go away!" + +They start to fight. They pull the doll and the car. They cry and scream. + +Mom and Dad hear them. They are sad. They say, "Stop fighting, Sara and Ben! It is your birthday. You should celebrate, not fight. You should share, not be jealous. You have enough toys. You have each other." + +They take the doll and the car. They put them in a box. They say, "You can have them back when you say sorry and hug each other." + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Sara. Sorry, Ben." + +They hug each other. They say, "I love you, Sara. I love you, Ben." + +Mom and Dad smile. They say, "That's better. We love you, too. Now you can have your toys back. But you need to put a battery in the car. The car needs a battery to work." + +They give them a battery. They help them put it in the car. The car makes lights and sounds. Sara and Ben are happy. They play with the doll and the car. They share and take turns. They say, "Thank you, Mom and Dad!" + +They eat the cake and blow the candles. They sing and laugh. They celebrate their birthday. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big basket of grapes in the kitchen. They wanted to eat some, but they knew they had to ask their moms first. + +Ben said, "Let's take some grapes and run outside. Our moms won't see us." Lily said, "No, that's not good. We have to be reliable. Reliable means we do what we say and we don't lie. If we take the grapes without asking, we are not reliable." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He grabbed a big load of grapes and ran outside. Lily stayed in the kitchen and asked her mom if she could have some grapes. Her mom said yes and gave her a small bowl of grapes. + +Lily went outside to look for Ben. She saw him sitting under a tree, holding his tummy. He looked sick and sad. He said, "I ate too many grapes and now I feel bad. I wish I listened to you, Lily. You were right. We have to be reliable." + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She gave him some water and said, "It's okay, Ben. We all make mistakes. Next time, you can be reliable and ask your mom before you take something. Then you won't feel bad and you will make your mom happy." + +Ben nodded and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You are reliable and kind. I'm sorry I was not reliable and I took the grapes. I will do better next time." + +The moral of the story is: Be reliable and don't lie. It will make you and others happy. +Sara and Ben love to make things with their mom. Today, they are making pumpkin pie for the fall festival. Mom gives them a big orange pumpkin and a sharp knife. She tells them to be careful and cut the pumpkin in half. + +Sara and Ben take turns to cut the pumpkin. They use all their strength and push the knife down. The pumpkin is hard and thick, but they do not give up. Finally, they cut the pumpkin in half. They see the seeds and the soft flesh inside. Mom tells them to scoop out the seeds and put them in a bowl. They can roast them later and eat them as a snack. + +Mom gives them a spoon and they start to scoop out the seeds. They make a big pile of seeds in the bowl. They also scoop out some of the flesh and put it in another bowl. Mom tells them to mash the flesh with a fork. They mash and mash until the flesh is smooth and creamy. + +Mom takes the flesh and puts it in a pot. She adds some milk, sugar, and spices. She stirs and cooks the flesh until it smells good. She tells Sara and Ben to roll out the dough and put it in a pie pan. They sprinkle some flour on the table and roll the dough with a rolling pin. They make the dough thin and flat. They lift the dough and put it in the pie pan. They press the dough to fit the pan and make a nice edge. + +Mom pours the pumpkin filling into the pie crust. She tells Sara and Ben to make some shapes with the leftover dough. They use cookie cutters and make stars, hearts, and leaves. They put the shapes on top of the filling. Mom puts the pie in the oven and sets the timer. She tells Sara and Ben to clean up the table and wash their hands. + +Sara and Ben are proud of their pumpkin pie. They can't wait to taste it. They hope it will be the best pie at the fall festival. They hug their mom and thank her for helping them make the pie. Mom hugs them back and tells them they did a great job. She says she loves them very much. They smile and say they love her too. They wait for the timer to ring and the pie to be done. They smell the sweet and spicy aroma of the pumpkin pie. They are happy and hungry. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. One day, they saw a big house near the park. It had many windows, doors, and flowers. Lily and Tom wanted to see the house. + +"Who lives in the house?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone wealthy," Tom said. + +"What is wealthy?" Lily asked. + +"Wealthy means having a lot of things. Like toys, clothes, and candy," Tom said. + +Lily and Tom walked to the house. They knocked on the door, but no one answered. They tried to open the door, but it was locked. They looked for another way in. They found a small window that was open. They climbed through the window and entered the house. + +The house was very big and beautiful. There were many rooms, furniture, and paintings. Lily and Tom felt like they were in a fairy tale. They explored the house and found many things. They found a piano, a dollhouse, a train set, and a closet full of costumes. They played with the things and had fun. + +Suddenly, they heard a voice. It was loud and angry. + +"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?" the voice said. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They looked for the source of the voice. They saw a man standing in the hallway. He was old and thin. He had a long beard and a cane. He looked very angry. + +"We are sorry, sir. We just wanted to see your house. We didn't mean to bother you," Lily said. + +"Get out of my house! You are thieves and intruders! You have no right to touch my things!" the man said. + +He walked towards Lily and Tom. He raised his cane and tried to hit them. Lily and Tom ran away. They ran to the window and climbed out. They ran to the park and didn't look back. + +The man was left alone in his house. He had many things, but he had no friends. He was wealthy, but he was not happy. He was a spirit, but he did not become free. +Sara loves to dress up as an angel. She has a white dress, a shiny halo and big wings. She likes to pretend she can fly and help people. She also likes to play hide and seek with her brother Tom. + +One day, Sara and Tom are playing in the garden. Sara puts on her angel dress and says, "I will hide and you will find me. But you have to count to ten first." Tom nods and starts to count. Sara runs to find a good hiding spot. + +She sees a big bush with pink flowers. She thinks it is a perfect place to hide. She goes behind the bush and covers herself with the flowers. She smiles and waits for Tom to find her. + +Tom finishes counting and says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looks around the garden and tries to find Sara. He sees the swing, the slide, the sandbox, but no Sara. He thinks, "Where is she? She is very good at hiding." + +He walks closer to the bush with the pink flowers. He hears a little giggle. He thinks, "Is that Sara?" He pulls the flowers aside and sees Sara's face. She has a big smile and says, "Surprise! You found me!" + +Tom laughs and says, "You are a very clever angel. You were hidden very well. But I found you anyway. You are the best sister ever." He gives Sara a hug and they go to play another game. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big, soft ball in the yard. It was red and shiny and bounced very high. They both wanted to play with it, but they did not want to share. + +"I saw it first!" Lily said. "It is mine!" + +"No, it is mine!" Ben said. "I want it!" + +They started to pull the ball from each other, and they shouted and cried. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stop fighting and be nice. + +Then, something bad happened. The ball popped with a loud noise, and air came out of a small hole. The ball became flat and sad. Lily and Ben were shocked and scared. They had broken their new toy. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they had been very silly and mean. They hugged and said sorry. + +"Can we fix the ball?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe we can ask dad. He knows how to fix things." + +They ran to their dad, who was in the garage. He saw the ball and the hole and smiled. + +"Don't worry, kids," he said. "I can fix the leak with some tape. But you have to promise me something." + +"What is it, dad?" Lily and Ben asked. + +"You have to promise me that you will share your toys and play nicely. Fighting is not good. It can hurt you and your things. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, dad," Lily and Ben said. "We understand. We promise." + +Dad fixed the ball and gave it back to them. They thanked him and ran to the yard. They played with the ball together, and they had a lot of fun. They learned their lesson. Sharing is caring. +Tom and Anna were playing in the basement. They liked to pretend they were explorers in a dark cave. They had a flashlight to see the way. + +"Look, there is a door!" Tom said. He pointed the flashlight at a wooden door in the corner. "Let's open it and see what's inside." + +Anna felt nervous. She did not like the door. It looked old and scary. "Maybe we should not go there," she said. "Maybe there is something bad inside." + +Tom was not afraid. He wanted to see what was behind the door. He walked to the door and tried to open it. It was stuck. He pushed harder. The door opened with a loud noise. + +Suddenly, the flashlight went off. It was very dark. Tom and Anna could not see anything. They heard a strange sound from the door. It sounded like a growl. + +Tom and Anna became very scared. They did not want to stay in the basement. They wanted to go back to their mom and dad. They ran to the stairs and shouted for help. + +"Mom! Dad! Help us! There is something in the basement!" + +Mom and Dad heard their cries and came to the basement. They turned on the light and saw Tom and Anna. They hugged them and asked them what happened. + +Tom and Anna told them about the door and the sound. Mom and Dad looked at the door and saw a small cat. It was hiding behind the door. It was the cat that made the growl. + +Mom and Dad laughed and explained to Tom and Anna that the cat was not bad. It was just scared of the noise and the dark. They picked up the cat and showed it to Tom and Anna. The cat was cute and soft. It purred and licked their faces. + +Tom and Anna felt silly and happy. They apologized to the cat and petted it. They asked Mom and Dad if they could keep the cat. Mom and Dad agreed and said they could name it Flash. Tom and Anna liked the name. They thanked Mom and Dad and hugged Flash. They decided to play with Flash in the basement. But this time, they left the door open and the light on. +Lily did not like haircuts. She was scared of the scissors and the noise. She did not want to sit still and let the lady cut her hair. She wanted to play with her toys and run around. + +But Mommy said she had to get a haircut. She said her hair was too long and messy. She said it would make her look lovely and feel good. She said the lady was very nice and gentle. She said it would not hurt at all. + +Lily did not believe Mommy. She cried and kicked and screamed. She did not want to go to the salon. She did not want to see the lady. She did not want to lose her hair. + +Mommy was sad and tired. She tried to calm Lily down. She hugged her and kissed her. She said, "Please, Lily, don't scream. It's okay. It's just a haircut. You will still be my beautiful girl. You will still have your hair. It will just be shorter and neater. You will like it, I promise. Please, Lily, be brave and try it." + +Lily looked at Mommy. She saw Mommy's eyes and smile. She felt Mommy's love and warmth. She stopped screaming. She sniffed and nodded. She said, "Okay, Mommy. I will try it. But I'm still scared." + +Mommy said, "I know, Lily. But I will be with you. I will hold your hand. I will tell you stories. I will make you laugh. You will see, it will be fun. And you will look lovely." + +Lily and Mommy went to the salon. The lady was very nice and gentle. She gave Lily a cape and a sticker. She combed and cut Lily's hair. She talked and sang to Lily. She made Lily laugh. + +Lily did not feel any pain. She did not hear any noise. She did not see any scissors. She only saw Mommy's eyes and smile. She only felt Mommy's love and warmth. She only heard Mommy's stories and jokes. + +Lily was happy. She liked her haircut. She said, "Thank you, lady. Thank you, Mommy. I look lovely. I feel good. I'm not scared anymore." + +Mommy said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're welcome, lady. You do look lovely. You are good. I'm so proud of you." + +Lily and Mommy hugged and kissed. They left the salon. They went to the park. They played with the toys and ran around. They had a wonderful day. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to help Mom and Dad at home. Today, they want to help Mom clean the house. Mom gives them a cloth and a spray bottle. They spray and wipe the tables, chairs, and windows. They have fun and make the house shiny. + +After they finish cleaning, Mom says they can go to the store with her. They put on their shoes and jackets and get in the car. The store is big and has many things. Tom and Lily see toys, books, clothes, and food. They also see a cool machine that makes ice cream. Mom lets them choose a flavor and they get a cone each. They lick the ice cream and smile. + +On the way back, they see a park with swings, slides, and a sandbox. Mom says they can play for a while. They run to the park and have more fun. They swing high, slide fast, and make castles in the sand. They laugh and giggle with other kids. They are happy and tired. + +Mom says it is time to go home. They say goodbye to their new friends and get in the car. They thank Mom for the ice cream and the park. Mom hugs them and says they are good helpers and good kids. They go home and take a bath. They put on their pajamas and get ready for bed. They snuggle with Mom and Dad and listen to a story. They close their eyes and dream of the cool machine that makes ice cream. +Tom and Sue are brother and sister. They like to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom says she needs a new pan to make soup. She gives Tom and Sue some money and tells them to go to the shop and buy a pan. + +Tom and Sue walk to the shop. They see many pans of different colors and sizes. Tom likes a big red pan. He says, "This pan is good. It can hold a lot of soup. Let's buy this one." Sue likes a small blue pan. She says, "This pan is pretty. It has a nice handle. Let's buy this one." Tom and Sue start to argue. They pull the pans from each other. + +The shopkeeper sees them and says, "Stop! You are making a mess. Why are you fighting?" Tom and Sue say, "We want to buy a pan for mom, but we like different pans." The shopkeeper says, "Why don't you look at this pan? It is not too big or too small. It is not too red or too blue. It is just right for mom." Tom and Sue look at the pan. It is a yellow pan with a green handle. It looks nice and strong. + +Tom and Sue say, "We like this pan. How much is it?" The shopkeeper says, "It is the same price as the other pans. But there is one problem. This pan is weak. It has a crack in it. It can break easily. You have to be careful with it." Tom and Sue say, "Oh no. We don't want a weak pan. We want a strong pan for mom. She works hard and deserves a good pan. Can we buy another pan?" The shopkeeper says, "I'm sorry. I only have this pan left. The other pans are sold out. You can take this pan for free, if you want. But you have to promise me to be gentle with it." + +Tom and Sue think for a moment. They say, "Thank you, shopkeeper. We will take this pan. We will be gentle with it. We will tell mom the truth. We hope she will like it." The shopkeeper says, "You are welcome. You are good children. You are honest and kind. I hope your mom will be happy with the pan." Tom and Sue take the pan and go back home. They give the pan to mom and tell her the story. Mom hugs them and says, "I love you, Tom and Sue. You are the best gift I ever had. The pan is not important. What matters is that you tried to help me and that you shared with each other. You learned a valuable lesson today. You learned that things are not always what they seem. Sometimes, a weak pan can be stronger than a big pan or a pretty pan. Sometimes, a yellow pan can be more beautiful than a red pan or a blue pan. It depends on how you use it and how you care for it. And sometimes, a free pan can be more precious than a paid pan. It depends on how you appreciate it and how you thank for it. You made me proud and happy today. Let's make some soup together with our new pan." Tom and Sue smile and say, "We love you, mom. You are the best mom ever. Let's make some soup together with our new pan." +Lily was a little girl who could not see. She was born with no sight. She had to use her ears, her nose, her hands and her feet to know the world. She liked to listen to stories, smell flowers, touch toys and walk with her dog. + +One day, Lily went to a big hospital with her mom and dad. The doctor said he could help her gain sight. He said he had a special machine that could make her eyes work. Lily was scared, but also curious. She wanted to know what sight was like. + +The doctor put Lily to sleep and did his work. When Lily woke up, she felt something different. She opened her eyes and saw a bright light. She blinked and saw colors and shapes. She saw her mom and dad smiling at her. She saw her dog wagging his tail. She saw a window with a blue sky and a yellow sun. She saw a book with pictures and words. She saw a mirror with her own face. + +Lily was amazed. She could not believe what she saw. She wanted to see everything. She asked her mom and dad many questions. She pointed at things and learned their names. She looked at herself and noticed her brown hair, her green eyes, her pink dress. She said, "I have sight! I can see!" + +Lily was very happy. She thanked the doctor and hugged her mom and dad. She said goodbye to the hospital and went home with her dog. She was eager to explore the world with her new sight. She had gained a long dream. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a ball. They laughed and ran and had fun every day. + +One day, they saw a bright light in the sky. It was a big yellow ball that looked like the sun, but it was not the sun. It was moving fast and making a loud noise. Tim and Sam were curious and wanted to see it better. + +They ran to the fence and climbed on it. They looked at the light and tried to guess what it was. Was it a plane? A star? A rocket? They did not know. + +The light came closer and closer. It was very hot and bright. Tim and Sam felt scared and wanted to go back to their house. But they could not move. The light was too strong and hurt their eyes and skin. + +The light hit the ground with a big boom. It made a big hole and a big fire. Tim and Sam fell from the fence and did not get up. They did not laugh or run or have fun anymore. They did not rest. They were gone. +Anna liked to play with her mom's wallet. It was big and shiny and had many things inside. She liked to take out the cards and the paper and look at them. She liked to pretend she was going to the store and buy things with them. + +One day, Anna found the wallet on the table. She was very happy. She took it and ran to her room. She opened it and saw a lot of paper. She thought they were very fancy. She decided to spend them on her toys. She took her teddy bear and said, "You are very cute. I will buy you for five paper." She gave the bear five paper and put them in a box. She did the same with her doll, her car, her ball and her book. She spent all the paper on her toys. + +She was very proud of her shopping. She showed her toys to her mom and said, "Look, mom, I bought these with your wallet. They are very fancy." Mom was very surprised. She looked at the wallet and saw it was empty. She looked at the box and saw it was full of paper. She recognized the paper. They were not fancy. They were money. She was very angry. She said, "Anna, you did a bad thing. You spent all my money on your toys. That is not how you play with the wallet. You have to give me back the money. You have to say sorry." + +Anna was very sad. She did not know she did a bad thing. She thought she was having fun. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not know. I just wanted to play. Please don't be mad at me." She gave back the money to her mom and hugged her. Mom was still angry, but she loved Anna. She said, "I forgive you, Anna. But you have to promise me you will never do that again. You have to ask me before you play with the wallet. You have to learn how to use money wisely. Do you understand?" Anna nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I promise. I love you." Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Anna. Now let's put the wallet away and play with your toys together." +Lily was a girl who liked to play with her round ball. She would kick it, throw it, and roll it on the grass. She had a lot of fun with her ball, and she gave it a name. She called it Bob. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Bob. She saw some other kids playing with their toys. She wanted to join them, but she did not want to share Bob. She thought Bob was only hers, and she did not like to let others touch him. + +She saw a boy who had a big truck. She liked the truck, and she wanted to play with it. She ran to the boy and grabbed his truck. The boy was angry, and he shouted at Lily. He said, "That's my truck! Give it back!" + +Lily did not listen. She said, "No, it's mine now! You can have Bob instead!" She threw Bob at the boy, and ran away with the truck. + +The boy was sad, and he picked up Bob. He saw that Bob was dirty and torn. He tried to bounce him, but Bob did not bounce. He tried to roll him, but Bob did not roll. He tried to throw him, but Bob did not fly. He said, "This is not a ball. This is a bad thing. I don't want it." + +He threw Bob in the trash, and he went to look for his truck. But he could not find it. Lily had run away with it, and she did not come back. + +Lily was happy with the truck, and she played with it for a while. But soon, she got bored. She said, "This truck is not fun. It is too big and heavy. It does not make any sound. It does not have a name. I want Bob back." + +She went to look for Bob, but she could not find him. She asked the other kids, but they did not know. She asked her mom, but she did not know. She looked everywhere, but she could not find him. + +She started to cry. She said, "I miss Bob. He was my friend. He was round and soft and bouncy. He had a name. He was mine. I was mean to him. I want to say sorry to him. But I can't. He is gone." + +She hugged the truck, but it did not hug her back. She felt lonely and sad. She wished she had shared Bob with the other kids. She wished she had been nice to the boy. She wished she had not taken his truck. She wished she had Bob back. + +But it was too late. Bob was gone, and she had no one to play with. She was sleepy, but she could not sleep. She had a bad day, and she learned a hard lesson. She learned that being selfish and greedy is not good. She learned that sharing and caring is better. She learned that things are not as important as friends. She learned that names are not just words, but they mean something. She learned that she loved Bob, and she was sorry. But she could not tell him. She could only cry. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for treasure and secrets. They saw a big stone building with many steps and pillars. It looked like a temple. + +"Let's go inside and see what's there," Ben said. He ran up the steps, holding a stick as a sword. + +Anna followed him, but she was fearful. She did not like dark and scary places. She wished they had brought a flashlight or a map. + +They entered the temple and saw many statues and paintings. Some were beautiful, some were strange. They heard a noise, like a roar or a growl. + +"What was that?" Anna asked, clutching Ben's hand. + +"I don't know, maybe a lion or a monster," Ben said. He tried to sound brave, but he was also fearful. He looked around, but he could not see the exit. He realized they had forgotten the way out. + +"Ben, I want to go home," Anna said, starting to cry. + +"Me too, Anna, me too," Ben said. He hugged her and said, "Don't worry, we'll find a way out. Maybe someone will come and help us." + +They sat down on the floor and waited. They hoped someone would hear them and rescue them. They wished they had never entered the temple. +Sam and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big network of ropes and swings. They want to climb and swing on it. + +"Let's go to the network!" Sam says. "It looks fun!" + +"OK!" Tom says. They run to the network. But they see a big boy on the network. He has a fierce face. He does not let anyone else on the network. + +"Go away!" the big boy says. "This is my network! You can't play here!" + +Sam and Tom are sad and scared. They don't know what to do. They look at their moms. Their moms see the big boy. They are not happy. + +"Hey, you!" one mom says. "Why are you being so mean? The network is for everyone. You have to share and be nice." + +The big boy does not listen. He says, "No! I don't want to share! I don't want to be nice! I want to eat the network!" + +The moms and the kids are shocked. They think the big boy is crazy. How can he eat the network? It is not food. It is made of ropes and metal. + +The big boy tries to bite the network. He hurts his teeth. He cries. He realizes he made a mistake. He is sorry. + +"I'm sorry!" the big boy says. "I was wrong. I don't want to eat the network. I want to play with you. Can we be friends?" + +Sam and Tom are surprised. They are still a little afraid. But they are also kind. They forgive the big boy. They say, "OK. We can be friends. But you have to share and be nice." + +The big boy nods. He smiles. He shares and is nice. They all play on the network. They have fun. They learn a lesson. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and mean. Share and be nice. You can't eat the network. You can play with it. You can make friends. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together every day. One day, they went to the pool with their moms. The pool was big and blue and had slides and toys. + +Ben was brave and jumped into the water. He splashed and laughed and had fun. Lily was scared and stayed on the edge. She watched Ben and wished she could join him. But she did not know how to swim. + +"Come on, Lily, it's fun!" Ben called to her. "I can help you. Just accept my hand and I'll hold you." + +Lily shook her head. She was too afraid. She did not want to accept Ben's hand. She thought the water was too deep and too cold and too scary. + +Ben had an idea. He saw a funny duck floatie near the slide. He swam to it and grabbed it. He put it around his waist and smiled. He looked like a duck with a yellow beak and wings. + +"Look, Lily, I'm a duck!" he quacked. "Quack, quack, quack! Do you want to be a duck too?" + +Lily saw Ben and laughed. He was so funny and silly. She forgot her fear for a moment. She wanted to be a duck too. + +She nodded and smiled. She accepted Ben's hand and he pulled her into the water. He gave her another duck floatie and they quacked and splashed together. They had fun. + +Their moms watched them and smiled. They were proud of Lily for being brave and Ben for being kind. They knew they had the best friends in the world. +Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. But sometimes Tom is bossy. He tells Ann what to do and what not to do. He says, "I am the leader. You have to listen to me." + +One day, they play a game with numbers. They have cards with numbers on them. Tom says, "I will show you the numbers. You have to clap when you see zero. If you clap for another number, you lose." Ann nods. She likes numbers. + +Tom shows Ann the cards. He shows one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and zero. Ann claps when she sees zero. Tom says, "Good. You are smart. Now it is your turn. You show me the numbers. I will clap when I see zero." + +Ann shows Tom the cards. She shows one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and zero. Tom claps when he sees zero. But he also claps when he sees one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine. He says, "I win. I clapped for all the numbers. I am the best." + +Ann is sad. She says, "That is not fair. You did not follow the rule. You only have to clap for zero. You cheated." Tom says, "No, I did not cheat. I made a new rule. I can clap for any number. I am the leader. You have to listen to me." + +Ann does not want to play with Tom anymore. She says, "You are not a good leader. You are bossy and mean. You do not care about me. You only care about yourself. I do not want to be your friend." She takes her cards and blocks and cars and goes away. + +Tom is alone. He feels sorry. He says, "I was wrong. I was bossy and mean. I did not care about Ann. I only cared about myself. I lost a friend. I do not want to be alone." He runs after Ann. He says, "Ann, wait. I am sorry. I was wrong. I want to be your friend. Can we play again?" + +Ann stops. She looks at Tom. She sees that he is sorry. She says, "OK. I forgive you. But you have to be nice. You have to follow the rule. You have to care about me. You have to share and take turns. Then we can be friends and play again." + +Tom nods. He says, "OK. I will be nice. I will follow the rule. I will care about you. I will share and take turns. Then we can be friends and play again." He gives Ann a hug. They smile. They go back to play with blocks and cars and numbers. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be bossy and mean. Be nice and fair. Care about your friends. Share and take turns. Then you will have fun and happiness. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. They also saw a big red barn, where the farmer kept his tools and seeds. + +The farmer was very kind and let Tom and Lily help him with some chores. He gave them each a bucket and told them to pour water for the plants. Tom and Lily were happy to help. They walked along a row of green beans, carrots, corn and tomatoes. They poured water on each plant, making sure they did not spill too much. + +The farmer smiled and said, "You are very good helpers. You know how to pour water for the plants. That is very wise of you." He gave them each a sticker with a star on it. Tom and Lily felt proud and thanked the farmer. + +Then, the farmer showed them his tractor. He said, "This is how I plow the fields and make new rows for planting. Do you want to ride with me?" Tom and Lily nodded excitedly. They climbed on the tractor with the farmer and went for a ride. They saw the whole farm from up high. They waved to their mom and dad, who were watching from the barn. + +Tom and Lily had a lot of fun at the farm. They learned how to pour water, how to make rows, and how to be wise. They thanked the farmer again and said goodbye to the animals. They hugged their mom and dad and went home. They told them all about their adventure and showed them their stickers. They said, "We love the farm!" +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. Tom had many soldiers that he ordered to march and fight. Lily had many dolls that she dressed in fancy clothes and hats. One day, they decided to swap their toys and see what it was like. + +Tom took Lily's dolls and tried to order them like his soldiers. He said, "Doll, you are the captain. Doll, you are the spy. Doll, you are the medic. Now, march!" But the dolls did not march. They fell over and got tangled in their clothes. Tom got angry and threw the dolls on the floor. + +Lily took Tom's soldiers and tried to dress them in fancy clothes and hats. She said, "Soldier, you are the princess. Soldier, you are the knight. Soldier, you are the clown. Now, smile!" But the soldiers did not smile. They looked stiff and silly in their clothes. Lily got bored and left the soldiers on the table. + +Tom and Lily came back to their own toys and saw what they had done. They felt sorry and said, "We are sorry, toys. We did not play with you right. We did not respect what you are. We will not swap you again." + +The toys were happy and said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. We are glad you learned your lesson. We like to be what we are. We like to play with you the way we are." + +Tom and Lily hugged their toys and said, "We love you, toys. We love you the way you are. We will play with you nicely and have fun." + +The moral of the story is: Respect what others are and do not try to change them. +Anna liked to bake with her mom. They made yummy pastries with fruit and cream. Anna wanted to share them with her friends at school. She put some in a box and took them to the bus. + +On the bus, there was a boy named Ben. Ben was not nice. He liked to tease Anna and make her sad. He saw the box and said, "What do you have there, Anna? Is it a present for me?" + +Anna felt shy and scared. She said, "No, it is not for you. It is for my friends. Please leave me alone." + +But Ben did not listen. He grabbed the box and opened it. He saw the pastries and said, "Wow, these look good. Can I have one?" + +Anna said, "No, you can not. They are mine. Give them back!" + +But Ben did not listen. He took a pastry and bit it. He said, "Mmm, this is delicious. Thank you, Anna. You are so kind." + +Anna felt angry and sad. She wanted to cry. She said, "You are mean, Ben. You are not kind. You are a thief and a bully. Give me back my pastries!" + +But Ben did not listen. He took another pastry and threw it out the window. He said, "Oops, I dropped it. Sorry, Anna. Do you want another one?" + +Anna felt very angry and sad. She wanted to scream. She said, "No, I do not want another one. I want you to stop. You are ruining my pastries. You are ruining my day. You are a bad boy, Ben. Go away!" + +But Ben did not listen. He took another pastry and smashed it on Anna's head. He said, "Ha ha, you look funny, Anna. You have pastry on your hair. You are a pastry head, Anna. You are a silly girl." + +Anna felt very angry and very sad. She could not take it anymore. She cried out loud. She said, "Stop it, stop it, stop it! You are a meanie, Ben. You are a nasty boy. You are a monster!" + +The bus driver heard Anna's cry. He looked in the mirror and saw what Ben was doing. He said, "Hey, what is going on here? Ben, what are you doing to Anna? Why are you teasing her and wasting her pastries? That is not nice. That is not right. That is not fair." + +The bus driver stopped the bus and went to Ben. He said, "Ben, you are in big trouble. You have to apologize to Anna and give her back her box. You have to clean up the mess you made. You have to go to the principal's office and explain your behavior. You have to learn to be kind and respectful to others. You have to say sorry, Ben. Say sorry now." + +Ben felt scared and ashamed. He said, "Sorry, Anna. Sorry, bus driver. Sorry, principal. I was wrong. I was mean. I was stupid. I will not tease you again, Anna. I will not waste your pastries again. I will be kind and respectful to you and everyone. Please forgive me, Anna. Please forgive me, everyone." + +Anna felt a little better. She said, "Thank you, bus driver. Thank you, principal. Thank you, Ben. I forgive you, Ben. But please do not tease me again. Please do not waste my pastries again. Please be kind and respectful to me and everyone. Please be a good boy, Ben. Please be a good friend, Ben." + +Ben said, "I will, Anna. I will be a good boy. I will be a good friend. I am sorry, Anna. I am sorry, everyone." + +The bus driver said, "That is good, Ben. That is good, Anna. I am proud of you both. Now, let us go to school and have a good day. And maybe, Anna, you can share one of your pastries with Ben. If you want to. If he is nice to you. If he deserves it." + +Anna said, "Maybe, bus driver. Maybe. We will see." +Lily liked to number her toys. She had a case with many toys inside. She would take out one toy and say "one". Then she would take out another toy and say "two". She did this until she had no more toys in the case. + +One day, Lily found a new toy in the case. It was a big, brown bear. Lily was happy. She took out the bear and said "one". She hugged the bear and smelled it. It was very smelly. Lily made a face. She did not like the smelly bear. + +Lily put the bear back in the case. She took out another toy and said "two". It was a yellow duck. Lily liked the duck. She squeezed the duck and it made a sound. "Quack, quack!" Lily laughed. She did not smell the duck. She knew the duck was not smelly. + +Lily played with the duck and the other toys. She forgot about the smelly bear. She had fun with her toys. She numbered them all. She was a good numberer. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pile of sticks near a tree. They ran to the pile and started to look for sticks. + +"I want a long stick!" Tom said. He picked a stick that was longer than his arm. He tried to bend it, but it was too hard. It broke in half with a loud snap. + +"I want a flexible stick!" Lily said. She picked a stick that was thin and bendy. She twisted it and made a loop. She put it around her neck like a necklace. + +"Look at me, Tom! I have a stick necklace!" Lily said. She smiled and showed off her stick. + +"That's silly, Lily! Sticks are not for necklaces!" Tom said. He threw his broken stick away. He picked another stick that was shorter and thicker. He pretended it was a sword. He swung it in the air and made whoosh sounds. + +"Look at me, Lily! I have a stick sword!" Tom said. He ran to Lily and tried to touch her with his stick. + +"Stop, Tom! That's not nice!" Lily said. She dodged his stick and ran away. She picked another stick that was flexible and long. She tied it to her stick necklace and made a whip. She swung it and made crack sounds. + +"Look at me, Tom! I have a stick whip!" Lily said. She ran to Tom and tried to touch him with her stick. + +"Ow, Lily! That hurts!" Tom said. He dropped his stick and covered his face. He started to cry. + +"Sorry, Tom! I didn't mean to hurt you!" Lily said. She dropped her stick and hugged him. She gave him a kiss on his cheek. + +"Let's play something else, Lily. Sticks are not fun!" Tom said. He wiped his tears and smiled. + +"OK, Tom. What do you want to play?" Lily said. She took off her stick necklace and threw it away. + +"Let's play on the swings, Lily. Swings are fun!" Tom said. He took her hand and they ran to the swings. They forgot about the sticks and had fun. +Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has a big house for them, with many rooms and doors. She has a key for each door. She puts the keys in a small box. + +One day, it rains a lot. Anna wants to play inside. She takes her box of keys and her dolls to the living room. She puts the house on the floor and opens the doors. She makes her dolls talk and have fun. + +But then, she hears a noise. It is her brother Tom. He is wet from the rain. He sees Anna and her dolls. He wants to join. He says, "Can I play with you?" + +Anna does not want to share. She says, "No, this is my game. Go away." + +Tom is sad. He likes dolls too. He sees the box of keys. He has an idea. He says, "OK, I will go away. But can I have a key?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She says, "OK, you can have one key. But only one." + +Tom smiles. He takes a key from the box. He says, "Thank you." He goes to the kitchen. + +Anna plays with her dolls. She forgets about Tom. She does not notice that he has taken the key to the secret room. The secret room is where she keeps her best doll, the one with the pink dress and the golden hair. + +Tom goes to the kitchen. He finds the secret room. He opens the door with the key. He sees the best doll. He is happy. He takes the doll and hugs it. He says, "You are my friend now." He plays with the doll. He makes it talk and have fun. He does not care that he is wet. He is happy. +Ben liked to play with his toy soldiers. He had many of them, and he gave them names and voices. He made them march and fight and hide in his room. He was very adventurous and liked to pretend he was a soldier too. + +One day, he found a new soldier in his toy box. He was shiny and red, and he had a big hat and a sword. Ben was curious and picked him up. He said, "Hello, soldier. What is your name?" + +The soldier did not reply. He was very still and quiet. Ben shook him and tapped him, but he did not make a sound. Ben was puzzled and sad. He wanted to play with the new soldier, but he did not talk. + +He put the soldier on his bed and went to look for his mom. He found her in the kitchen and said, "Mom, I have a new soldier, but he does not reply. Why is he so quiet?" + +Mom smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "That is a special soldier, Ben. He is not a toy, he is a decoration. He is made of metal and he does not have a voice. He is very pretty, but he is not for playing." + +Ben was disappointed and confused. He said, "But I want to play with him. He looks so adventurous and brave. Can I not make him talk?" + +Mom shook her head and said, "No, Ben, you cannot. He is not like your other soldiers. He is for looking, not for touching. He might break or scratch if you play with him. Why don't you leave him on your shelf and play with your other soldiers? They are more fun and they reply to you." + +Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I will do that. But can I still look at him sometimes?" + +Mom said, "Of course, Ben. You can look at him as much as you want. He is very handsome and he is yours. But remember, he is a decoration, not a toy." + +Ben said, "I understand, Mom. Thank you for the new soldier. He is very nice, even if he does not reply." + +He gave Mom a kiss and ran back to his room. He put the shiny red soldier on his shelf and looked at him. He smiled and said, "Hello, soldier. You are very pretty. I hope you like your new home. Maybe one day, you will reply to me." +One day, a little girl named Mia went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. But when she got to the top, she saw a boy who was bigger than her. He was mean and did not want to share the slide. + +"Go away!" he shouted at Mia. "This is my slide. You are too small and slow." + +Mia felt sad and scared. She did not know what to do. She wanted to slide down, but the boy blocked her way. He pushed her hard and made her fall off the ladder. Mia cried and hurt her knee. + +Her mom heard her cry and ran to help her. She hugged Mia and checked her knee. She saw a small cut and put a band-aid on it. She asked Mia what happened and Mia told her about the mean boy. + +"That was not nice of him," her mom said. "He should not push you or anyone else. Pushing is bad and can hurt people. You should always be kind and gentle with others." + +Mia nodded and hugged her mom. She felt better and learned a lesson. She decided to play somewhere else and not let the mean boy bother her. + +She saw a big bush with many flowers and bees. She liked the bush and wanted to smell the flowers. She walked to the bush and saw something furry behind it. She was curious and peeked behind the bush. + +She saw a small kitten who was hiding from the mean boy. The kitten was fluffy and cute. It had black and white fur and green eyes. It looked scared and lonely. + +Mia smiled and said hello to the kitten. She reached out her hand and petted the kitten gently. The kitten liked Mia and purred. It came out of the bush and rubbed against Mia's leg. + +Mia was happy and asked her mom if she could keep the kitten. Her mom said yes and they took the kitten home. They named the kitten Lily and gave her food and water and a soft bed. Lily became Mia's best friend and they played and cuddled every day. + +Mia was glad that she found Lily and that she was kind and gentle with her. She learned that being nice to others can make them happy and can make you happy too. She also learned that pushing is bad and can make others sad and can make you sad too. She never pushed anyone again and always shared and cared. +Tom and Lily were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look at the shells and crabs. Sometimes they saw big fish in the water, but they were too scared to go near them. + +One day, they saw something very big and shiny in the water. It was a whale! The whale was stuck in a net and could not swim. It made loud noises and splashed with its tail. Tom and Lily felt sorry for the whale. They wanted to help it. + +They ran to their mom and dad and told them about the whale. Their mom and dad looked at the whale and called some people on their phone. Soon, a boat came with some men and women. They had tools and scissors to cut the net. + +Tom and Lily watched as the people worked on the net. They talked to the whale and tried to calm it down. They said, "Don't be frightened, whale. We are here to help you. We will release you soon." + +After a while, the net was cut and the whale was free. It swam away from the boat and waved its tail. It made a happy noise and sprayed water from its blowhole. Tom and Lily clapped and cheered. They were glad the whale was safe. + +The whale looked at them and smiled. It said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are very kind and brave. I will never forget you." + +Tom and Lily smiled back. They said, "You're welcome, whale. We are happy to be your friends.

She pretends to call her friends and talk to them. She has a lot of fun with her phone. + +One day, she finds a real phone in her mom's bag. It is big and shiny and has many buttons. Lily wants to try it. She takes it out of the bag and turns it on. + +She hears a beep and sees some numbers on the screen. She presses some buttons and hears another beep. She puts the phone to her ear and waits. + +She hears a voice. It is not her mom or her dad or her friend. It is a man. He sounds angry and scared. He says, "Help me! I'm trapped in a cell! The door is wide but it is locked! Please, help me!" + +Lily is confused and scared. She does not know what a cell is or why the man is in it. She does not know what to do. She drops the phone and runs to her mom. She cries and tells her what she heard. + +Her mom hugs her and calms her down. She picks up the phone and looks at it. She sees that Lily called a random number. She thinks it is a prank or a joke. She says, "Don't worry, Lily. It was not real. It was just a silly voice. You did not do anything wrong. But you should not play with my phone. It is not a toy. It is for grown-ups. OK?" + +Lily nods and says, "OK, mom. I'm sorry. I won't play with your phone again. Can I play with my toy phone?" + +Her mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can. But only with your friends. And remember to say hello and goodbye and thank you. OK?" + +Lily smiles and says, "OK, mom. Thank you. I love you." + +Her mom says, "I love you too, Lily. Now go and have fun." +Tom is a dog. He likes to run and play. He has a long tail. He can wag his tail when he is happy. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his owner. He sees many other dogs. He wants to make friends.

I will throw it for you. Come here." + +Tom likes the girl. He thinks she is nice. He runs to her and drops the ball. He wags his tail. The girl throws the ball. Tom chases it. He catches it. He brings it back. They play together. They have fun. + +Tom is happy. He has a new friend. He wags his tail. He thinks the park is a good place. He does not care about the mean dogs. He is smart and he is loved. +Lily and Max were helping Mom bake a cake. They wore aprons to keep their clothes clean. Mom gave them a big bowl and a spoon. They put flour, sugar, eggs, and milk in the bowl. Then they stirred and stirred until the batter was smooth. + +"Can we finish the cake now, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We need to put it in the oven first. Then we have to wait for it to bake. Do you know how we can tell when the cake is ready?" Mom said. + +Lily and Max shook their heads. + +Mom showed them a toothpick. "We poke the cake with this. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it has batter on it, the cake needs more time. Do you want to try?" Mom said. + +Lily and Max nodded. They followed Mom to the oven. Mom opened the door and took out the cake. It smelled yummy. She put it on a rack to cool. + +"Can we poke it, Mom?" Max asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. The cake is hot. Use the mitts." Mom said. + +Lily and Max put on the mitts. They each took a toothpick and poked the cake. The toothpicks came out clean. + +"Yay! We finished the cake!" Lily and Max cheered. + +Mom smiled. "You did a mighty good job, my little helpers. Now we can decorate it with frosting and sprinkles. Do you want to help with that too?" Mom said. + +Lily and Max clapped their hands. They loved frosting and sprinkles. They took off their aprons and ran to the table. They were ready to make the cake look pretty. They were very happy. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play and laugh together. One day, they got an invitation to a party. It was a spring party, with flowers and balloons and cake. They were very happy and excited. + +They put on their best clothes and went to the party. There were many other children there, and they all had fun. They played games, sang songs, and ate yummy food. Tom and Lily smiled and clapped and danced. + +But then, something bad happened. Lily saw a big bee on a flower. She was scared of bees. She screamed and ran away. Tom saw her and followed her. He wanted to help her. He found her hiding behind a tree. She was crying and shaking. + +Tom was serious. He knew bees could hurt. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'm here. The bee is gone. You are safe." He gave her a hug and a tissue. He said, "Let's go back to the party. It's still fun. We can have more cake and balloons. And we can stay together. I'm your friend." + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. You are my friend too." She wiped her tears and took his hand. They went back to the party. They had more fun. They were happy. The end. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a big doll that she liked to dress up and comb. Ben had a small car that he liked to zoom around and make noises. They were having fun, until Ben saw Sara's doll and wanted to play with it. + +"Can I have your doll?" Ben asked Sara. + +"No, it's mine!" Sara said. "You have your car." + +"But I want the doll!"

She opened her eyes and saw that everything was bigger. The doll was bigger. The car was bigger. Ben was bigger. She had shrunk! + +"Wow!" Ben said. "Sara, you're tiny!" + +Sara was scared. She didn't like being tiny. She wanted to be big again. She wanted her doll to be fixed. She wanted her life to be normal. + +"Help me!" Sara said. "Make me big again!" + +Ben didn't know what to do. He was sorry for breaking the doll, but he didn't know how to shrink or grow. He looked around for help. He saw their mom in the kitchen. + +"Mom!" Ben shouted. "Come quick! Sara is tiny!" + +Mom heard Ben and came to the living room. She saw Sara on the floor, next to the broken doll. She was shocked. + +"What happened?" Mom asked. + +Ben told Mom what happened.

He asked his mom to take him to the barber. He liked the barber, who was kind and funny. The barber had a big chair, a sharp tool, and a soft brush. He made Tom's hair short and neat. + +But when they got home, Tom could not find his red hat. He loved his red hat. It was a gift from his dad. He wore it every day. He searched all over the house. He looked under the bed, in the closet, and in the toy box. He asked his mom, his sister, and his dog. No one knew where his hat was. + +Tom felt sad and angry. He did not want to have his birthday without his hat. He thought someone took it. He blamed his sister, who sometimes played with his things. He yelled at her and made her cry. His mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. + +She saw Tom and his sister fighting. She saw Tom's hair and smiled. She said, "You look very handsome, Tom. The barber did a good job. But why are you so upset?" + +Tom told her about his hat. He said he searched everywhere and could not find it. He said his sister took it. His mom shook her head. She said, "No, she did not. I know where your hat is. Come with me." + +She took Tom to the car. She opened the trunk. There was his hat, clear and bright. Tom was surprised and happy. He hugged his mom and said, "Thank you, thank you. How did it get here?" + +His mom said, "You left it in the car when we went to the barber. I put it in the trunk so it would not get lost.

She asked her mother, who was a dependable woman, many questions every day. + +One day, Anna and her mother went to the park. Anna saw a woman with a big hat and a long dress. She wondered who she was and what she was doing. She ran to the woman and said, "Hello, I am Anna. Who are you? Why do you wear a big hat and a long dress?" + +The woman smiled and said, "Hello, Anna. I am Miss Rose. I wear a big hat and a long dress because I like them. They make me feel pretty and happy. Do you like them?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I like them. They are colorful and soft. Can I touch them?" + +Miss Rose said, "Of course, you can. But be gentle, please. They are delicate and old." + +Anna touched the hat and the dress with her fingers. She felt the flowers and the lace. She said, "They are nice. Where did you get them?" + +Miss Rose said, "I got them from my grandmother. She gave them to me when I was a little girl like you. She told me they were special and to take good care of them. I love them very much." + +Anna said, "That is sweet. I love my grandmother too. She gives me cookies and hugs. She is very kind." + +Miss Rose said, "I am glad you have a kind grandmother. She must love you very much too. You are a curious and friendly girl, Anna. I like you." + +Anna said, "I like you too, Miss Rose. You are a nice and pretty woman. Can we be friends?" + +Miss Rose said, "Yes, we can. I would like that very much." + +Anna and Miss Rose hugged and smiled. Anna's mother came and said, "Anna, it is time to go home. Say goodbye to your new friend." + +Anna said, "Goodbye, Miss Rose. Thank you for talking to me. I hope to see you again." + +Miss Rose said, "Goodbye, Anna. Thank you for being my friend. I hope to see you again too." + +Anna and her mother waved and left. Anna was happy. She had learned something new and made a new friend. She had many questions to ask her mother on the way home. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play chess with Lily's dad. Chess was a game with black and white pieces that moved on a board. Lily's dad taught them how to play and how to say "checkmate". + +One day, Lily and Ben had a fight. Ben wanted to move his queen, but Lily said he couldn't. She said he was cheating. Ben got angry and pushed Lily's king off the board. Lily cried and said Ben was mean. She ran to her room and slammed the door. + +Ben felt sorry. He didn't mean to hurt Lily or her chess piece. He picked up the king and saw that it was broken. It had a delicate crown that snapped off. He tried to fix it with glue, but it didn't look the same. + +He knocked on Lily's door and said he was sorry. He showed her the king and said he tried to fix it. Lily opened the door and looked at the king. She saw that Ben was sad. She hugged him and said she forgave him. She said they were still best friends. + +They went back to the chess board and played again. They didn't care that the king was broken. They had fun and laughed. They said "checkmate" and "good game". They learned that chess was more than a game. It was a way to be kind and forgive. +Anna liked to touch everything. She touched the soft fur of her cat, the shiny buttons on her coat, the rough bark of the tree. She wanted to touch the big world outside her home. She asked her mom if they could go on a journey. + +Mom smiled and said yes. She took Anna by the hand and they walked to the bus stop. Anna touched the metal pole, the plastic seat, the yellow ticket. She saw many people and things on the bus. She touched the window and felt the cold glass. She touched the bell and heard the ding. + +The bus stopped at the park. Anna and mom got off and walked to the pond. Anna saw ducks and fish and frogs. She touched the water and felt the wet drops. She touched the bread and threw it to the ducks. She touched the grass and felt the green blades. She touched a flower and smelled the sweet scent. + +Anna was happy. She thanked mom for the journey. Mom hugged Anna and said she was proud of her. Anna was humble. She knew she had much to learn and see. She wanted to touch more of the world. She asked mom if they could go on another journey soon. Mom said yes. They held hands and walked back to the bus. +Lily was a young girl who liked to balance on one foot. She did it every day in her room, in the garden, and at the park. She wanted to be a dancer when she grew up, and she thought balancing was good practice. + +One day, she saw a poster for a dance show at the library. It had pictures of dancers in pretty dresses and shoes, balancing on their toes. Lily wanted to see the show very much, but she was not sure if she was ready. She had never been to a dance show before, and she did not have pretty shoes like the dancers. + +She asked her mom if they could go to the show. Her mom said yes, and they bought tickets for the next day. Lily was very happy, but also a little scared. She wondered if she would like the show, and if the dancers would like her. + +The next day, they went to the library and found their seats. Lily saw a big stage with lights and curtains. She heard music and clapping. She felt excited and nervous. She held her mom's hand and waited for the show to start. + +The curtains opened, and the dancers came out. They were beautiful and graceful, and they moved with the music. Lily watched them with wide eyes, and saw how they balanced on their toes. She thought they looked like fairies or birds. She wanted to be like them. + +She whispered to her mom, "Mom, can I balance like them?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course you can, Lily. You just need to practice and work hard. You are a young and talented girl, and you can do anything you want. You are ready to balance like them, and maybe one day, you will be on that stage too." + +Lily felt happy and proud. She squeezed her mom's hand and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love dancing." + +She watched the rest of the show with joy, and clapped loudly at the end. She felt a new spark in her heart, and a new dream in her mind. She wanted to balance like the dancers, and she knew she could. She was ready. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hole in the ground. It looked like a pit. Tom wanted to go inside and see what was there. Lily was anxious. She said it was dark and scary. + +Tom did not listen. He said he was brave and curious. He jumped into the pit. He landed on something soft and wet. It was mud. He felt something slimy and cold. It was a worm. He heard something hiss and growl. It was a snake. + +Tom was scared. He wanted to get out of the pit. He shouted for Lily. Lily heard him and ran to the pit. She saw Tom covered in mud and worm and snake. She felt sorry for him. She looked for a stick or a rope to help him. + +She found a stick and threw it to Tom. Tom grabbed the stick and tried to climb out of the pit. Lily pulled the stick and helped him. Tom was out of the pit. He was happy to see Lily. He hugged her and said thank you. + +Tom regretted going into the pit. He learned his lesson. He said he would listen to Lily next time.

It is a factory. It makes things. They want to see inside. + +They sneak in. They see machines and workers. They are loud and fast. Tom and Lily are scared. They hide behind a box. + +They hear a voice. It is a man. He is angry. He says, "Who are you? What are you doing here? This is not a place for kids. This is a place for work. You have to leave now." + +Tom and Lily are sorry. They did not know. They say, "We are sorry, sir. We just wanted to see. We like to act. We were acting like workers." + +The man is surprised. He says, "You like to act? That is interesting. I used to like to act too, when I was young. But then I had to work. Work is hard and slow. It is not fun." + +He looks at Tom and Lily. He smiles. He says, "Maybe you can show me how you act. Maybe I can remember how to have fun. But only for a little while. Then you have to go home. OK?" + +Tom and Lily are happy. They say, "OK, sir. Thank you, sir. We will show you how we act." + +They act like animals, like people, like cars. They make noises and faces and movements. The man laughs and joins them. He acts too. He has fun. + +They forget about the machines and the workers. They forget about the time. They only remember how to play and act. +Sara liked to organize her toys. She had a box for her dolls, a box for her cars, and a box for her blocks. She liked to make everything neat and tidy. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a pond with ducks and fish. She wanted to organize them too. She said, "Mom, can I organize the pond?" + +Mom smiled and said, "How do you want to organize the pond, Sara?" + +Sara thought for a moment. She said, "I want to put the fat ducks in one corner, the skinny ducks in another corner, the big fish in one side, and the small fish in the other side. Then the pond will be organized." + +Mom and dad laughed. They said, "Sara, you can't organize the pond. The ducks and fish like to swim and move around. They don't like to stay in one place. They are happy the way they are." + +Sara looked at the pond. She saw the ducks and fish swimming and splashing. She realized that mom and dad were right. She said, "Okay, I won't organize the pond. But can I feed them some bread?" + +Mom and dad nodded. They gave Sara some bread crumbs. Sara threw them into the pond. She watched the ducks and fish come and eat them. She smiled and said, "They are hungry. They like the bread. They are cute." + +Mom and dad hugged Sara. They said, "Yes, they are cute. And you are cute too. And very smart. We love you, Sara." + +Sara felt happy. She said, "I love you too, mom and dad. And I love the pond. And the ducks and fish. They are my friends." +Sara and Tom liked to play with trains. They had many toy trains and tracks in their room. They also liked to watch real trains at the station. They wanted to see the famous steam train that came once a year. The steam train was big and old and made a loud noise. + +One day, Sara and Tom asked their mom if they could go to the station to see the steam train. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful and stay with her. Sara and Tom were very happy and excited. They put on their coats and hats and went to the station with their mom. + +At the station, there were many people and cars and buses. Sara and Tom held their mom's hand and walked to the platform. They saw the steam train coming. It was black and shiny and had a lot of steam. Sara and Tom wondered how it worked and what it was like inside. They wanted to get closer and touch it. + +Their mom told them to stay back and not to cross the yellow line. She said the steam train was very hot and fast and could hurt them. Sara and Tom nodded, but they did not listen. They let go of their mom's hand and ran to the edge of the platform. They tried to reach the steam train as it passed by. + +But they were too late. The steam train was too fast and too big. It hit Sara and Tom and knocked them off the platform. They fell on the tracks and did not get up. Their mom screamed and cried and ran to them. But it was too late. Sara and Tom were gone. The steam train did not stop. It kept going and left the station. The end. +Lily liked to step on the grass. She liked how it felt under her feet.

They did not know her. They did not want her to step on their grass. They did not want her to play and talk. They shouted at her and chased her. They were fast and mean. + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not understand why they were so angry. She did not want to make them mad. She wanted to be their friend. She ran away from the village. She ran back to the path. She ran back to her home. + +She saw her mom and her dog. They were happy to see her. They hugged her and kissed her. They asked her how her day was. Lily told them about the village. She told them how the people were fast and mean. She told them how they shouted and chased her. + +Her mom and her dog felt sorry for Lily. They said the people in the village were wrong.

The ball and the snake broke into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "You broke my snake!" + +"Sorry, Lily. I was just playing." Tom said. He picked up some clay pieces. "Let's make something else." + +They saw a pond near the park. It had water and ducks. They ran to the pond. + +"Let's make ducks with clay!" Lily said. She took some yellow clay and made a duck shape. She put it on the water. + +"Me too!" Tom said. He took some blue clay and made another duck. He put it next to Lily's duck. + +The ducks floated on the water. They looked like real ducks. + +"Quack, quack!" Tom and Lily said. They pretended to be ducks too. + +They saw a big duck swimming in the pond. It was white and brown. It saw the clay ducks. It was curious. It swam to the clay ducks. + +"Hello, duck!" Tom and Lily said. They waved to the big duck. + +The big duck sniffed the clay ducks. It thought they were yummy. It opened its mouth and bit one of the clay ducks. + +"Hey, that's my duck!" Tom said. He was surprised. + +The big duck bit the other clay duck too. + +"Hey, that's my duck too!" Lily said. She was sad. + +The big duck swallowed the clay ducks. It liked them. It wanted more. It saw Tom and Lily. It swam to them. + +"Uh-oh!" Tom and Lily said. They were scared. + +They ran away from the pond. They did not want to be eaten by the big duck. + +They found their mom and dad. They told them what happened. + +"Wow, that was a hungry duck!" Mom said. + +"Maybe it liked your clay ducks because they were colorful and tasty." Dad said. + +"Next time, we will make something else with clay." Tom said. + +"Or we will play somewhere else." Lily said. + +They hugged their mom and dad. They were happy and safe.

The dog is brown and furry. He likes to run and play. He sees the chess board. He thinks it is a toy. He jumps on the bench. He knocks over the chess board and pieces. He grabs a piece in his mouth. He runs away. + +Tim and Sam are sad. They lose their chess board and pieces. They chase the dog. They shout "stop, stop, stop!" The dog does not stop. He runs to a pond. He jumps in the water. He drops the piece. The piece sinks in the water. The water is deep. Tim and Sam cannot get the piece. + +Tim and Sam are very sad. They lose their chess game and their chess piece.

The water is dirty and dangerous. There might be snakes or crocodiles or germs." + +"I don't care," Lily said. "I dare you to swim in the pond. I dare you to touch the water." + +Tom did not want to swim in the pond. He was scared of the water. But he did not want to look like a coward. He wanted to show Lily that he was brave. + +"OK, I dare you too," Tom said. "Let's swim in the pond together." + +They took off their shoes and socks and rolled up their pants.
