They had a great day. They learned how to fly a kite. And they did not end their friendship. +Lily wanted to dress up as a banana for the party. She liked bananas. They were yellow and sweet and fun to peel. She had a big yellow dress and a green hat that looked like a banana peel. She put them on and looked at herself in the mirror. She was happy. + +"Look, Mommy, I'm a banana!" she said, running to the kitchen. + +Mommy smiled and gave her a hug. "You are a very cute banana, Lily. But you know, bananas don't talk. They just hang on trees or go in fruit bowls." + +Lily frowned. She wanted to talk. She wanted to tell everyone how much she loved bananas. She was persistent. + +"But Mommy, I want to talk. I have many things to say. Like, bananas are good for you. And, bananas are yellow like the sun. And, bananas are friends with monkeys. Can I please talk, Mommy?" + +Mommy laughed and kissed her cheek. "Of course you can talk, Lily. You are a very smart and creative banana. And I'm sure everyone at the party will love to hear what you have to say. Now, let's go. We don't want to be late." + +Lily nodded and grabbed her Mommy's hand. She was excited. She hoped there would be more bananas at the party. She wanted to make new friends. She was a happy banana. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big green caterpillar on a leaf. Ben wanted to ride the caterpillar. He thought it would be fun. + +"Look, Lily, a caterpillar! Let's ride it!" Ben said. + +"No, Ben, that's not a good idea. The caterpillar is not a toy. It is a living thing. It has feelings. It might get hurt or scared if you ride it," Lily said. + +"But I want to ride it. It looks like a train. Choo-choo!" Ben said. He reached for the caterpillar. + +"Stop, Ben, stop! Don't touch it!" Lily said. She pulled Ben away from the leaf. + +The caterpillar curled up into a ball. It was afraid of Ben. It wanted to be left alone. + +"See, Ben, you made the caterpillar sad. How would you feel if someone tried to ride you?" Lily said. + +Ben felt sorry. He realized he was wrong. He did not want to hurt the caterpillar. He wanted to be kind. + +"I'm sorry, caterpillar. I won't ride you. You are not a train. You are a regular caterpillar. You are beautiful and special. I hope you are happy," Ben said. + +He and Lily smiled at the caterpillar. The caterpillar uncurled and waved its antennae. It forgave Ben and Lily. It was happy. + +Ben and Lily learned a lesson. They learned to respect and care for all living things. They learned to be gentle and friendly. They learned to be good. +Sara and Ben were twins who loved to play on the beach. They liked to build sand castles, dig holes, and look for shells. One day, they saw something shiny in the sand. They ran over to see what it was. + +They used their hands and a plastic shovel to dig around the shiny thing. It was hard and round and had a hole in it. They pulled it out of the sand and looked at it. It was a metal can with a lid. They wondered what was inside. + +They tried to open the lid, but it was stuck. They asked their mom for help, but she said it was too rusty and dangerous. They asked their dad for help, but he said it was too old and dirty. They were sad and curious. They wanted to reveal what was in the can. + +They decided to take the can to the sea. They thought maybe the water would make the lid loose. They carried the can to the edge of the water and dipped it in. They shook it and banged it on a rock. They were persistent and did not give up. + +After a while, they heard a pop. The lid came off. They looked inside the can and saw something shiny and colorful. It was a necklace with a star pendant. They gasped and smiled. They had found a treasure. They put the necklace around Sara's neck and ran back to their parents. They showed them what they had found. Their parents were surprised and proud. They said they had revealed a very special and beautiful thing. Sara and Ben hugged each other and the can. They were happy and excited. They had had a great day on the beach. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a phone.

She wants to play with him. + +"Who are you talking to, Ben?" she asks. + +Ben looks at her and says, "I'm talking to my friend Tom. He is very funny and smart. He tells me jokes and stories." + +Anna nods and says, "That sounds nice. Can I talk to him too?" + +Ben shakes his head and says, "No, you can't. This is my phone and my friend. You have your own doll and your own friends." + +Anna feels sad and hurt. She doesn't like it when Ben is mean to her. She says, "But I want to play with you. We can share the phone and the doll. Sharing is good, right?" + +Ben frowns and says, "No, sharing is bad. I don't want to share. Go away, Anna. Leave me alone." + +Anna starts to cry. She doesn't understand why Ben is so angry and selfish. She runs to her mom, who is in the kitchen. + +"Mom, mom, Ben is not nice to me. He won't let me play with his phone. He says sharing is bad. He makes me cry." Anna says, sobbing. + +Mom hugs Anna and says, "Oh, honey, I'm sorry. Ben is not being a good brother. He should share his toys with you. Sharing is good, not bad. Sharing shows that you care and support each other. You are a good sister, Anna. You want to support Ben and play with him." + +Mom wipes Anna's tears and says, "Come on, let's go talk to Ben. Maybe he will change his mind and be nice to you." + +Mom and Anna go back to the living room. They see Ben still playing with his phone. But something is wrong. The phone is broken. It has a big crack on the screen and it doesn't make any sound. + +Ben looks sad and scared. He doesn't know what to do. He broke his phone by accident. He dropped it on the floor when he was pretending to talk to Tom. + +"Ben, what happened?" Mom asks. + +Ben looks at Mom and says, "I broke my phone, Mom. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. It was an accident. Now I can't talk to Tom anymore. He will be mad at me. I'm so stupid and clumsy." + +Mom shakes her head and says, "No, Ben, you're not stupid or clumsy. You made a mistake, that's all. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. It's okay. We can fix your phone or get you a new one. Don't worry." + +Mom hugs Ben and says, "But you know what? You hurt Anna's feelings when you didn't share your phone with her. You were not nice to her. You should say sorry to her and play with her. She is your sister and she loves you. She wants to support you and have fun with you." + +Ben looks at Anna and sees that she is still sad. He feels sorry for her and for himself. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was mean to you. I should have shared my phone with you. You are my sister and I love you. Will you forgive me and play with me?" + +Anna smiles and says, "Yes, Ben, I forgive you and I will play with you. I'm sorry you broke your phone. I hope you can talk to Tom again soon. He sounds like a nice friend. Maybe we can all play together someday." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a nice sister. You support me and make me happy. Come on, let's play with your doll and my phone. Maybe we can pretend they are friends too." + +Anna and Ben hug each other and start to play.

They learned that love is stronger than anger. They learned to be a good sister and a good brother. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals on them. They play a game called match. They have to find two cards that have the same animal. + +One day, they have a big fight. Tom says he has more matches than Jen. Jen says no, she has more matches than Tom. They count their matches. They have the same number. But they are still angry. They do not want to share. + +They start a war with their cards. They throw their cards at each other. They yell and cry. They make a big mess. Their cards are everywhere. + +Mom comes in. She sees the war. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing?

They hug and make up. They pick up their cards. They decide to play a different game. They play a game called guess. They have to guess what animal is on the card. They have fun. They are friends again. +Tom was a poor boy who lived in a small hut with his mother. He had no toys, no books, no friends. He only had a big dream: to see the prince who lived in the castle on the hill. He heard that the prince was kind and brave and had many shiny things. + +One day, Tom decided to walk to the castle. He wanted to see the prince with his own eyes. He walked and walked until he reached the big gate. He saw a guard who wore a red coat and a hat with a feather. He said to the guard, "Please, can I see the prince? I have a dream to see him." + +The guard looked at Tom and laughed. He said, "You are a poor boy. You have no clothes, no shoes, no money. You cannot see the prince. He is too good for you. Go away, or I will hit you with my stick." + +Tom felt sad and scared. He turned around and started to walk away. But then, he heard a voice behind him. It was the prince. He had heard Tom and the guard. He said, "Stop, boy. Don't go. I want to talk to you." + +Tom turned around again and saw the prince.

He said, "My name is Tom, sir. And my dream is to see you. You are the prince. You are kind and brave and have many shiny things." + +The prince said, "I am glad to meet you, Tom. You are brave and honest and have a big heart. You don't need shiny things to be happy. You have a dream. And I want to help you make it come true. Come with me. I will show you my castle and my friends. And I will give you a gift. A gift that will make you shine." +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a gun in a trash can. They did not know what it was, but it looked shiny and cool. + +"Let's play with it!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be dangerous." Sam said. + +They took the gun to a quiet place and pretended to be cowboys. They pointed the gun at trees, rocks and birds. They made loud noises with their mouths. + +"Bang! Bang! You're dead!" Tom said. + +"Ha! Ha! You missed!" Sam said. + +They had fun, but they did not see a man who was watching them. He was poor and angry. He wanted the gun for himself. He sneaked up behind them and grabbed the gun from Tom's hand. + +"Hey! Give it back!" Tom shouted. + +"Shut up, kid! This is mine now!" The man said. + +He pointed the gun at Tom and Sam. They were scared and cried. They wished they had never found the gun. + +"Please, don't hurt us!" Sam begged. + +"Too bad. You should have left it alone." The man said. + +He pulled the trigger, but nothing happened. The gun was empty. He had no bullets. + +"Oops." The man said. + +He regretted his mistake. He dropped the gun and ran away. Tom and Sam picked up the gun and threw it in the trash can. They hugged each other and ran home. They never played with guns again. They learned a lesson. Guns are not toys. Guns are bad. +Tim and Lily are playing with their toy trains on the floor. Tim has a red train and Lily has a green train. They make noises like engines and pretend to go fast. + +"Look, my train is faster than yours!" Tim says to Lily. + +"No, mine is faster!" Lily says back. + +They push their trains harder and harder, until they crash into each other. The trains fall apart and some pieces roll away. + +"Oh no, our trains are broken!" Tim cries. + +Lily picks up the green engine and tries to put it back together. She sees a small switch on the side. She flips it and the engine makes a loud sound. + +"Wow, your engine can talk!" Tim says, surprised. + +Lily listens to the engine. It says, "Hello, I am a green train. I can go fast and slow. I can sing and tell stories. Do you want to be my friends?" + +Lily and Tim look at each other. They realize that their green engine is not a toy, but a real train. They feel happy and excited. + +"Yes, we want to be your friends!" they say together. + +They hug the green engine and smile.

They think the green engine is the best train ever. +Anna was shy. She did not like to talk to new kids at school. She liked to sit by herself and eat her sandwich at lunch. She made her sandwich with bread, cheese and jam. It was her favorite. + +One day, a new kid came to her class. His name was Ben. He had curly hair and a big smile.

He took out his own sandwich from his bag. It was made with bread, peanut butter and banana. It was his favorite. + +He said, "Look, I have a sandwich too. It's different from yours. Do you want to trade? You can have half of mine and I can have half of yours. Then we can both try something new." + +Anna looked at Ben's sandwich. It looked funny. She had never seen a sandwich like that. She was curious. She wondered how it tasted. She looked at Ben's face. He looked friendly. He was not mad at her. He was still smiling. + +She decided to be brave. She nodded and said, "OK. I'm Anna, by the way." + +Ben was happy. He said, "Nice to meet you, Anna. Let's trade and eat.

Her mom smiles and says "me too, me too, I love cauliflower". They eat and enjoy their meal. They are happy. +Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together and share their toys. One day, they found a camera in Lily's room. It was Lily's mom's camera, but she was not home. + +"Let's take pictures of each other!" Sam said. He picked up the camera and pointed it at Lily. "Say cheese!" + +Lily smiled and said "cheese". Then she took the camera and pointed it at Sam. "Say cheese!" + +Sam smiled and said "cheese". But then he had an idea. He wanted to joke with Lily. He made a funny face and stuck out his tongue. + +Lily saw Sam's face on the camera and laughed. She pressed the button and took the picture. "You look so silly!" she said. + +Sam laughed too. He thought it was a funny joke. He took the camera back and looked at the picture. He saw his funny face and Lily's smile. He liked the picture. He wanted to show it to Lily. + +But then he saw something else on the camera. He saw a red light. The red light meant that the camera was recording a video. Sam had pressed the wrong button.

She peeled the orange and gave half to Ben. + +They both took a big bite and made a yummy sound. But then they felt something tickle their noses. They looked at each other and said, "Uh-oh." + +They both sneezed at the same time. The orange juice sprayed out of their mouths and made them wet and sticky. They laughed and said, "Bless you!" + +They wiped their noses and mouths with their hands and said, "That was a funny sneeze.

They take two jewels, one red and one blue, and put them in a small bowl. Then they use a spoon to mash them together. They hope to make a purple jewel. + +"Look, Ben, I made a purple jewel!" Sara says, holding up the bowl. + +"Wow, Sara, that is pretty!" Ben says. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, Ben, here is the spoon.

They are happy. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. It was a mild day, not too hot and not too cold. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. + +They saw a big pile of leaves near a tree. They thought it would be fun to jump in the leaves and hide. They ran to the pile and took turns to jump in and out. They laughed and shouted "Boo!" to scare each other. + +But when Tom jumped in the leaves, he did not come out. Mia waited and waited, but she did not see Tom. She called his name, but he did not answer. She got scared and ran to the pile. She moved the leaves, but she did not find Tom. She only found a skeleton. + +Mia screamed and ran away. She thought Tom had disappeared and the skeleton had eaten him. She looked for help, but she did not see anyone. She felt alone and sad. + +But then she heard a voice behind her. It was Tom. He had played a trick on her. He had found the skeleton in the park and put it in the leaves. He had hidden behind the tree and waited for Mia to find it. He thought it would be funny, but he saw that Mia was scared and crying. He felt sorry and ran to her. + +"Mia, Mia, it's me, Tom. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It was a joke, a bad joke. Don't cry, don't cry. The skeleton is not real, it's fake. I'm here, I'm here. Please forgive me, please forgive me." He hugged Mia and tried to calm her down. + +Mia was angry and hurt. She pushed Tom away and shouted at him. "Tom, Tom, you are mean, you are mean. You scared me, you scared me. The skeleton is scary, it's scary. You are not my friend, you are not my friend. Go away, go away." She ran to the other side of the park and did not look at Tom. + +Tom felt sad and ashamed. He had made a mistake, a big mistake. He had hurt Mia, his best friend. He wanted to say sorry, but he did not know how. He picked up the skeleton and threw it in the trash. He wished he could disappear, too. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pink truck. The truck has many chocolates. Lily and Ben love chocolates. + +"Look, Ben, chocolates!" Lily says. She runs to the truck. Ben follows her. + +"Hello, children," a man says. He is the driver of the truck. He smiles and gives them two chocolates. "These are for you. They are very yummy." + +"Thank you, sir," Lily and Ben say. They take the chocolates and say goodbye to the man. They go to a bench and sit down. They hold their chocolates and look at them. + +"Mine is brown and yours is white," Ben says. He likes brown chocolates. + +"Mine is white and yours is brown," Lily says. She likes white chocolates. + +They look at each other and smile. They have an idea. + +"Do you want to trade?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, let's trade," Lily says. + +They swap their chocolates and bite them. They are very happy. They have their favorite chocolates. They hold their chocolates and hold their hands. They are good friends. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They had a big box that they pretended was a car. Lily wanted to be the driver and Max wanted to be the passenger. + +"Let me drive, Max!" Lily said. She was bossy and liked to tell Max what to do. + +"No, I want to drive too!" Max said. He did not like to share the box. + +They both pulled and pushed the box, trying to get in. They started to shout at each other. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. She came out of the house and saw them fighting. "You need to calm down and take turns. Why don't you give each other a massage to relax?" + +"A massage?" Lily and Max said. They did not know what that was. + +Mom showed them how to rub each other's shoulders and back gently. "It feels nice, right?" she said. "It helps you to be happy and friendly." + +Lily and Max tried it. They felt the massage tickle and soothe them. They stopped shouting and smiled. + +"Sorry, Lily," Max said. "You can drive first." + +"Sorry, Max," Lily said. "You can drive next." + +They hugged and got back in the box. They drove around the garden, making car noises. Mom watched them and smiled too. She was glad they learned to get along. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill near their house. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Lily said. "It will be fun!" + +"OK, Lily!" Tom said. "But be careful. The hill is steep and rocky." + +They put on their shoes and ran to the hill. They started to climb, but it was hard. The rocks were sharp and slippery. Tom felt uncomfortable in his shoes. They were too tight and hurt his heel. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom said. "My shoes are bad. They make my heel sore. I want to stop." + +"No, Tom, don't stop!" Lily said. "We are almost there. Look, the top is near. Come on, you can do it!" + +Lily pulled Tom by the hand and made him rise. She was strong and brave. Tom tried to follow her, but he was tired and sad. He wished he had better shoes. + +They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a beautiful view of the fields and the sky. They also saw a big pond with ducks and frogs. They heard them quack and croak. + +"Wow, Lily, this is amazing!" Tom said. "You were right. It was worth it. Thank you for helping me." + +"You're welcome, Tom," Lily said. "I'm glad you like it. But I'm sorry your shoes hurt you. Next time, we can wear different shoes. Or we can go somewhere else. There are many places to play and explore." + +They hugged and smiled. Then they went down the hill carefully and ran back to their house. They told their mom and dad what they saw and heard. They were happy and proud. + +Moral: Sometimes, things are hard and uncomfortable, but with a friend's help and encouragement, you can rise and overcome them. You can also learn to appreciate the beauty and wonder of nature. +Tom and Anna were bored. They had nothing to do. It was raining outside and they could not play. They looked at the TV, but it was dull. They did not like the shows. + +"Let's play a game," Tom said. "I will be a pirate and you will be a princess. I will capture you and you will have to surrender." + +"OK," Anna said. "But you have to be nice to me. And you have to let me go after a while." + +Tom put a scarf on his head and a belt around his waist. He took a wooden sword and a paper hat. He pretended to be a pirate. He ran to Anna and said, "Arrr, I am the mighty Captain Tom. You are my prisoner. Surrender or I will make you walk the plank." + +Anna put a crown on her head and a necklace around her neck. She pretended to be a princess. She said, "Oh no, you are a bad pirate. You can't take me. I will never surrender." + +They chased each other around the room. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the TV and the rain. They made their own adventure. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to watch cartoons on TV. They had a big TV in their living room, and a small TV in their bedroom. Sometimes they watched the same cartoons, and sometimes they watched different ones. + +One morning, Ben woke up early and went to the living room. He turned on the TV and found his favorite cartoon. It was about a dog who could talk and do funny things. Ben laughed and clapped his hands. He wanted Lily to watch with him. + +He ran to their bedroom and shook Lily's shoulder. "Lily, Lily, wake up! Come and watch the dog cartoon with me! It is so funny!" he said. + +But Lily was very sleepy. She did not want to wake up. She ignored Ben and pulled the blanket over her head. She mumbled, "Go away, Ben. I want to sleep. The dog cartoon is boring." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He did not like that Lily ignored him. He thought she was mean. He stomped back to the living room and watched the cartoon by himself. He did not share his toys or his snacks with Lily. + +After a while, Lily woke up and felt hungry. She smelled something yummy from the kitchen. She got out of bed and went to the kitchen. She saw Mom making pancakes and syrup. She smiled and said, "Good morning, Mom. Can I have some pancakes, please?" + +Mom smiled back and said, "Of course, Lily. But where is Ben? He should have some pancakes too." + +Lily shrugged and said, "I don't know. He was watching the dog cartoon. He tried to wake me up, but I ignored him. I was too sleepy." + +Mom frowned and said, "Lily, that was not nice. You should not ignore your brother. He wanted to share something he liked with you. Maybe you should go and say sorry to him, and invite him to have pancakes with us." + +Lily felt sorry. She realized she was rude to Ben. She loved her brother, and she did not want to hurt his feelings. She ran to the living room and saw Ben sitting on the couch, still watching the cartoon. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was wrong to ignore you. Do you want to have pancakes with me and Mom?" + +Ben looked at Lily and smiled. He forgave her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry too. I was mad at you. Do you want to watch the dog cartoon with me? It is almost over." + +Lily nodded and said, "Sure, Ben. I want to watch the dog cartoon with you. Maybe it is funny after all." + +They sat on the couch and watched the cartoon together. They laughed and clapped their hands. Then they went to the kitchen and had pancakes with Mom. They were happy and they hugged each other. They learned to not ignore each other, and to share what they liked. +Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Mia has a big doll with a pink dress and long hair. Ben has a small car with four wheels and a horn. They admire their toys and make them talk to each other. + +"Hello, I am Dolly. You are a nice car. Can I ride on you?" Mia makes her doll say. + +"Hello, I am Car. You are a pretty doll. Yes, you can ride on me. Beep beep!" Ben makes his car say. + +They put the doll on the car and push it around the room. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, they hear a loud noise outside. They look out the window and see a big truck. The truck is shiny and has many colors. It makes a loud roar and has a big shovel. They see the truck digging a hole in the ground. + +"Wow, look at that truck! It is so cool!" Ben says. + +"Yes, it is. It is much cooler than your car. Your car is dull. It is small and has no colors. I want to play with the truck!" Mia says. + +She takes her doll and runs to the door. She wants to go outside and see the truck. + +"Hey, wait! Don't leave me! My car is not dull. It is fun and fast. And it is mine. You can't play with the truck. It is not yours!" Ben says. + +He runs after Mia and tries to stop her. He is sad and angry. + +They reach the door and open it. They see their mom standing there. She sees them and smiles. + +"Hi, kids. What are you doing?" she asks. + +"Mia wants to play with the truck. She says my car is dull. She is mean!" Ben says. + +"No, Ben is mean. He won't let me play with the truck. His car is dull. I want the truck!" Mia says. + +They both look at their mom and wait for her to say something. She looks at them and shakes her head. + +"Kids, kids. You are both wrong. The truck is not yours. It belongs to the workers. They are fixing the road. You can't play with it. It is dangerous. And your toys are not dull. They are special. They are yours. You should be happy with what you have. And you should be nice to each other. You are twins. You are family. You should love and share and hug." she says. + +She takes their toys and gives them back to them. She hugs them and kisses them. + +"Come on, let's go back to your room. You can play with your toys there. And maybe you can let each other try them. Maybe you will find out that they are not so dull after all." she says. + +She leads them back to their room. They follow her and look at their toys. They look at each other and feel sorry. They say sorry and hug. They decide to play with their toys together. They admire their toys and make them talk to each other. + +"Hello, I am Dolly. You are a nice car. Can I ride on you?" Mia makes her doll say. + +"Hello, I am Car. You are a pretty doll. Yes, you can ride on me. Beep beep!" Ben makes his car say. + +They put the doll on the car and push it around the room. They laugh and have fun. They are happy. +Sam and Lily were playing with a candle in their room. They liked to watch the flame dance and make shadows on the wall. They did not know that the candle was dangerous. + +"Look, Sam, I can make the flame bigger!" Lily said, blowing on the candle. + +"No, don't do that, Lily! You will make the flame angry!" Sam said, scared. + +But Lily did not listen. She blew harder and harder, until the flame jumped out of the candle and onto the bed. The bed caught fire and made a lot of smoke. + +"Help! Help!" Sam and Lily screamed, running out of the room. + +Their mom and dad heard them and came quickly. They saw the fire and called the firemen. The firemen came with a big truck and a loud siren. They used water to put out the fire and save the house. + +Sam and Lily were very sorry and scared. They hugged their mom and dad and said they were sorry. + +"It's okay, Sam and Lily. We are glad you are safe. But you should never play with fire. Fire can hurt you and make things dead. Do you understand?" their mom said, gently. + +"Yes, mom. We understand. We will never play with fire again. We are sorry we dropped the flame on the bed," Sam and Lily said, sadly. + +Their mom and dad forgave them and gave them a hug. They told them to be careful and to always ask before they touch something. Sam and Lily learned their lesson and never played with fire again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They have fun every day. + +One day, Anna's mom says, "Anna, we have to go to the store. We need to buy celery for dinner. Do you want to come with me?" + +Anna does not like celery. She thinks it is yucky and green. She says, "No, thank you, mom. I want to play with Ben. Can I stay in the park?" + +Anna's mom says, "Okay, but you have to be careful. And don't delay. I will be back soon." + +Anna says, "Okay, mom. I will not delay. Bye!" + +Anna runs to Ben. She says, "Ben, do you want to play with me? My mom went to the store. She will be back soon." + +Ben says, "Sure, Anna. What do you want to play?" + +Anna says, "Let's play on the slide. It is amazing. It is so fast and high." + +Ben says, "Okay, let's go." + +Anna and Ben run to the slide. They take turns to slide down. They laugh and scream. They have a lot of fun. + +They do not see that the sun is going down. They do not hear that Anna's mom is calling them. They do not notice that the park is getting dark. + +They delay too much. They forget to go home. They are in trouble. +Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily said. "Do you like the snow?" + +"Yes, I do!" Tom said, making a funny voice for the snowman. "The snow is my home. I belong here." + +Lily and Tom laughed. They liked to pretend that the snowman could talk. They hugged him and said goodbye. They went back to their house. It was warm and cozy inside. + +They took off their coats and boots. They saw their mom in the kitchen. She was making hot chocolate for them. + +"Mom, we made a snowman!" Lily said. "He is very nice and useful. He keeps the snow from melting." + +"That's wonderful, dear," Mom said. "But you know, the snowman won't last forever. When the sun comes out, he will melt and go away." + +Lily and Tom felt sad. They liked their snowman. They wanted him to stay. + +"Can we bring him inside, Mom?" Tom asked. "Maybe he can live in the freezer. Then he won't be cold and lonely." + +Mom smiled. She understood how they felt. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, sweeties, but the snowman is too big to fit in the freezer. And he doesn't belong inside. He belongs outside, where he can enjoy the snow and the wind and the stars. He is happy there, I'm sure. And you can always make another snowman when it snows again." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They knew Mom was right. They drank their hot chocolate and looked out the window. They saw their snowman standing tall and proud. He waved at them with his stick arms. They waved back and smiled. They were happy, too. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden with their water guns. They liked to spray each other and make funny noises. They also liked to spray the flowers and the bugs. + +But then they saw a big truck coming down the road. It was very loud and smelly. It had a big tank on the back that said "GAS". Ben and Lily wondered what gas was. + +The truck stopped near their house and a man got out. He had a hose in his hand and he went to the tank. He opened a valve and gas started to come out of the hose. It was heavy and it made a hissing sound. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Ben shouted at the man. + +"I'm filling up your gas tank, kid. Don't bother me," the man said. + +Ben and Lily did not like the man. They did not like the gas. They thought it was bad for the flowers and the bugs. They decided to spray the man with their water guns. + +They ran towards the man and aimed their water guns at him. They sprayed him with water and laughed. The man was angry and wet. He dropped the hose and gas started to spill on the ground. + +"Stop it, you brats! You're making a mess!" the man yelled. + +But Ben and Lily did not stop. They sprayed more water and more gas spilled. The gas made a big puddle on the ground. It was very dangerous. + +Suddenly, a spark flew from the truck. It hit the gas puddle and it caught fire. There was a big boom and a big flame. Ben and Lily were scared and ran away. The man was scared and ran away too. + +The fire was very big and very hot. It burned the truck and the hose and the gas tank. It also burned the flowers and the bugs. Ben and Lily were sad and sorry. They wished they had not sprayed the man. They wished they had not sprayed the gas. They wished they had played with something else. +Lily and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Lily got a new dress from her grandma. It was pink and sparkly and had a big bow. Lily loved it very much. + +She showed it to Mia when she came over. Mia liked it too. She asked Lily if she could try it on. Lily said yes, because she wanted to share. She took off the dress and gave it to Mia. Mia put it on, but it was very tight. She could not move or breathe well. She felt sad. + +Lily saw that Mia was sad. She said, "Mia, are you okay? Do you like the dress?" Mia said, "Lily, the dress is very pretty, but it is too tight for me. I can't play in it. Can I take it off?" Lily said, "Of course, Mia. You can take it off. I'm sorry it is too tight for you. Maybe we can find another dress that fits you better." + +Mia took off the dress and gave it back to Lily. Lily put it on again. She said, "Thank you, Mia, for trying on my dress. You are a good friend. I have an idea. Why don't we make our own dresses with some fabric and scissors and glue? We can make them any size and color we want. Then we can both have new dresses to play in." + +Mia liked the idea. She said, "That sounds fun, Lily. Let's do it. We can share the fabric and scissors and glue. And we can help each other make the dresses. Then we can show them to our dolls and pretend we are princesses." Lily and Mia smiled and hugged. They went to get the fabric and scissors and glue. They were happy to share and play together. +Sara and Tom are going to the mall with Mom. They are very enthusiastic. They want to see the toys and the books and the candy. Mom says they can choose one thing each if they are good. + +At the mall, Sara and Tom run to the toy store. They see many colorful and shiny things. Sara likes a doll with long hair and a dress. Tom likes a car that makes noise and moves. They pick up their toys and show them to Mom. + +"Can we have these, Mom?" they ask. + +Mom looks at the price tags. She shakes her head. "These are too expensive, Sara and Tom. You have to put them back and find something cheaper." + +Sara and Tom are sad. They don't want to put their toys back. They like them a lot. They start to cry and whine. + +Mom sighs. She knows they are tired and hungry. She has an idea. She takes them to the food court. She buys them some pizza and juice. She also buys them a small toy each from the vending machine. Sara gets a bracelet and Tom gets a sticker. + +"Look, Sara and Tom. You can have these instead. They are cheaper and still fun. And you can eat some pizza and juice. That will make you happy and strong." + +Sara and Tom stop crying. They look at their new toys. They smile. They thank Mom and hug her. They eat their pizza and juice. They are happy again. + +They finish their food and go back to the car. They are ready to go home. They had a fun day at the mall. They learned to put things back and to be happy with what they have. They are good children. Mom is proud of them. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and find bugs and worms. They also liked to pick carrots from the vegetable patch and eat them. + +One day, they saw a big, black rabbit hopping near the fence. It had long ears and a fluffy tail. Lily and Ben wanted to pet it and feed it a carrot. + +"Hello, rabbit!" Lily said. "Do you want a carrot?" + +She reached out her hand with a carrot in it. The rabbit looked at her and sniffed. It was hungry, but also fearful. It did not know Lily and Ben. It thought they might hurt it. + +Suddenly, a loud noise came from the road. It was a truck, honking its horn. The rabbit was scared. It jumped and ran away. Lily and Ben were surprised. They dropped their carrots and ran after the rabbit. + +"Wait, rabbit!" Ben said. "We are nice! We want to be your friends!" + +But the rabbit was too fast. It disappeared behind the fence. Lily and Ben stopped and looked at each other. They were sad. They wanted to play with the rabbit. + +They went back to the garden and picked up their carrots. They decided to leave some carrots near the fence, in case the rabbit came back. They hoped the rabbit would not be fearful anymore. They hoped the rabbit would like their carrots. They hoped the rabbit would like them. +Tim and Liz like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They have fun zooming and crashing their cars. + +One day, Tim finds a new car in his toy box. It is shiny and red and has a button on the side. Tim pushes the button and the car starts to spin very fast. It makes a loud noise and flashes lights. Tim is happy and excited. He shows Liz his new car. + +Liz wants to play with the new car too. She asks Tim to share it with her. But Tim says no. He says it is his car and he does not want to share. He spins the car again and again. Liz feels sad and angry. She tries to grab the car from Tim. They start to fight over the car. + +The car falls on the floor and breaks. It stops spinning and making noise. It is quiet and still. Tim and Liz are shocked and scared. They broke the new car. They think it is an emergency. They worry that their mom will be angry with them. They start to cry. + +Their mom hears them crying and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken car and the mess on the floor. She is not angry. She is calm and kind. She hugs Tim and Liz and tells them not to worry. She says it is only a toy and it can be fixed. She says they should not fight over toys and they should share and play nicely. She helps them clean up the mess and find another toy to play with. Tim and Liz say sorry to each other and to their mom. They hug and make up. They learn to share and be kind. They are happy again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard when they saw a big truck stop in front of their house. They ran to the fence and waved at the driver, who smiled and opened the back door. + +"Hello, kids! I have a special delivery for you!" he said. "Can you guess what it is?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and tried to think. They knew their mom had ordered something online, but they didn't know what. + +"Is it a toy?" Ben asked. + +"Is it a book?" Lily asked. + +The driver shook his head and laughed. "No, it's not a toy or a book. It's something you can eat. Something very sweet and yummy. Do you like sweet things?" + +Lily and Ben nodded eagerly. They loved sweet things. They wondered what it could be. Cookies? Cake? Candy? + +The driver reached into the truck and pulled out a big box. He carried it to the fence and handed it to Lily and Ben. "Here you go, kids. This is your delivery. Enjoy!" + +Lily and Ben thanked the driver and ran inside with the box. They couldn't wait to open it and see what was inside. They put the box on the table and lifted the lid. Their eyes widened in surprise and delight. + +Inside the box, there were dozens of cupcakes. Cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles and candles. Cupcakes in different colors and flavors. Cupcakes that looked like flowers and animals and stars. + +Lily and Ben gasped and clapped their hands. They had never seen so many cupcakes before. They looked at the card on the box and read it together. + +"Happy birthday, Lily and Ben! We love you, Grandma and Grandpa." + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged each other. They had forgotten that today was their birthday. They were so happy that Grandma and Grandpa had sent them such a sweet delivery. They couldn't wait to share the cupcakes with their mom and dad and friends. They knew it was going to be the best birthday ever. +Tom liked to play with his toys, but he was bored of the same ones every day. He wanted something new and fun. He asked his mom if he could go to the pet shop and look at the animals. + +"Sure, Tom, but you can't buy any. We have enough pets at home," his mom said. + +Tom and his mom went to the pet shop. Tom saw many animals. He saw cats, dogs, birds, fish, hamsters, and rabbits. He liked them all, but he wanted something different. He saw a tank with lizards. They had green scales, long tails, and sticky tongues. They looked cool and funny. + +"Mom, can I choose a lizard?" Tom asked. + +"No, Tom, lizards are not good pets for you. They need special food and care. They might bite or scratch you. They are not cuddly or friendly. They are boring," his mom said. + +Tom was sad. He thought lizards were not boring. He thought they were interesting and fun. He wanted to choose a lizard and play with it. He looked at the lizards again. One of them looked at him too. It blinked its eyes and stuck out its tongue. It seemed to say, "Choose me, choose me!" + +Tom smiled. He had an idea. He took his mom's hand and said, "Mom, can I choose a toy lizard instead? They look like the real ones, but they are soft and safe. They are not boring, they are fun!" + +His mom looked at the toy lizards. They were colorful and cute. They had buttons and sounds. They were cheap and easy. She nodded and said, "OK, Tom, you can choose a toy lizard. But only one, OK?" + +Tom was happy. He thanked his mom and ran to the toy lizards. He looked at them carefully. He wanted to choose the best one. He saw one that looked like the real one that blinked at him. It was green and had a long tail and a sticky tongue. It had a button that made it move and squeak. Tom liked it a lot. He picked it up and said, "I choose you, lizard!" + +He hugged his toy lizard and showed it to his mom. His mom smiled and said, "Good choice, Tom. You have a good eye. What will you name your lizard?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He remembered the real lizard that looked at him. He said, "I will name him Blink. He is my new friend." + +His mom paid for the toy lizard and they left the pet shop. Tom held Blink in his arms and played with him. He was not bored anymore. He was happy. He had chosen a lizard. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big tent in the shed. They think it is fun to make a camp with the tent. + +They take the tent outside and put it on the grass. They use sticks and ropes to hold it up. They go inside the tent and pretend they are explorers. They have a flashlight and a map. + +"Look, Sam, we are in the jungle!" Tom says. He points to the map. "We have to find the treasure!" + +"Wow, Tom, this is cool!" Sam says. He looks around the tent. "But where is the treasure?" + +They hear a noise outside the tent. It sounds like a roar. They are scared. They think it is a lion or a tiger. + +"Tom, what is that?" Sam whispers. + +"I don't know, Sam. Maybe it is a crazy animal!" Tom whispers back. + +They hold each other and wait. The noise comes closer and closer. They see a shadow on the tent. They scream. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. + +The tent flap opens. They see their dad. He is laughing. + +"Hi, boys, what are you doing?" he asks. + +"Dad, you scared us!" Tom says. He is angry. + +"Sorry, boys, I was just playing with you. I made the noise with this toy." He shows them a toy lion. It has a button that makes it roar. + +"That's not funny, dad. That's mean!" Sam says. He is sad. + +"Come on, boys, don't be mad. I was just having fun. You like to have fun, right?" Dad says. He smiles. + +They look at each other. They think for a moment. Then they smile too. + +"OK, dad, we forgive you. But only if you join our camp!" Tom says. + +"Deal!" Dad says. He goes inside the tent with them. They hug and laugh. + +They have a good time in the tent. They forget about the crazy animal. They are happy. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the pool. They have a game. They dive into the water and see who can swim the farthest. Tim is very good at diving. He can dive very deep and fast. Sam is not so good at diving. He can dive a little bit, but not very deep or fast. + +One day, they play their game again. Tim dives first. He goes very deep and fast. He swims to the other end of the pool. He comes out of the water and smiles. He says, "I win! I am the best diver!" + +Sam dives next. He goes a little bit deep and slow. He swims to the middle of the pool. He comes out of the water and frowns. He says, "I lose. I am not a good diver." + +Tim sees Sam's sad face. He feels sorry for him. He says, "Sam, you are a good diver. You just need to practice more. You can do it. Do you want to try again?" + +Sam nods. He says, "Yes, I want to try again. Thank you, Tim. You are a good friend." + +They dive again. This time, Sam dives a little bit deeper and faster. He swims to the other end of the pool. He comes out of the water and smiles. He says, "I did it! I am a better diver!" + +Tim claps. He says, "You did it! You are a better diver! You are a modest diver. You do not brag. You work hard. You are a good friend." + +They hug. They are happy. They dive and swim and play in the pool. They have fun. They are friends. +Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the slide, the seesaw and the sandbox. But their favorite thing was the swing. They loved to swing high and feel the wind in their hair. + +One day, they went to the park and saw a new swing. It was big and red and shiny. It looked very exciting. Tim and Lily ran to the new swing, but there was a problem. There was only one new swing, and two of them. + +"I want to try the new swing first!" Tim said. + +"No, I want to try it first!" Lily said. + +They both pulled on the swing and tried to get on it. They started to argue and shout. + +"Please, Tim, let me have a turn. You can have the old swing. It is still fun," Lily said. She was generous and wanted to share. + +"No, Lily, I insist. I saw the new swing first. It is mine. You can have the old swing. It is boring," Tim said. He was selfish and wanted to keep the new swing. + +They kept fighting and pulling on the swing. They did not listen to each other. They did not notice that the new swing was not very strong. It was not fixed well to the tree. It started to wobble and creak. + +Suddenly, the new swing broke. It snapped and fell to the ground. Tim and Lily fell with it. They hurt themselves and cried. The new swing was ruined. They could not play on it anymore. + +They looked at each other and felt sad and sorry. They wished they had been nicer and more careful. They learned a hard lesson. They lost their favorite thing and their best friend. +Anna liked to learn new words. She had many books with pictures and words. She asked her mom and dad what the words meant. She tried to say them out loud. She wanted to learn many languages. + +One day, she found a book with strange words. She did not know what they were. She asked her mom and dad, but they did not know either. They said the book was old and the language was lost. No one could speak it or read it anymore. + +Anna was sad. She wanted to save the language. She was persistent. She looked at the book every day. She tried to copy the words and sounds. She made up stories with them. She thought the language was beautiful. + +But the book was fragile. The pages were thin and yellow. The words were faded and torn. One day, Anna was too rough with the book. She ripped a page by accident. She cried and cried. She tried to fix it with tape, but it was too late. The words were gone. + +Anna lost the language. She could not learn it or speak it anymore. She was very sorry. She wished she had been more careful with the book. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. She wished she had a different book. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with boats. They had a big tub of water in the garden. They put their boats in the tub and made them sail. + +"Look at my boat!" Tom said. "It is fast and red. It can sail faster than yours!" + +"No, it can't!" Lily said. "My boat is blue and pretty. It can sail better than yours!" + +They made their boats race in the tub. They splashed and laughed. But then, Tom's boat hit Lily's boat. Lily's boat flipped over and sank. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "My boat is wet and broken!" + +Tom felt bad. He saw Lily was sad. He wanted to make her happy. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I didn't mean to break your boat. Here, you can have my boat. It is a present for you." + +Lily looked at Tom. She saw he was nice. She smiled. + +"Thank you, Tom," Lily said. "That is very kind of you. But I don't want your boat. I want to share it with you. We can sail it together." + +Tom smiled too. He was happy. He liked to share with Lily. They hugged and played with the boat. They were friends again. +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They liked to pour water on the flowers and the grass. They thought it was fun and important to help them grow. + +But then they saw a hedge. The hedge was tall and green and had many birds and bugs in it. Tim and Lily wanted to pour water on the hedge too. They thought it would make the hedge happy and shiny. + +But the hedge did not like water. The hedge was dry and prickly and liked the sun. The hedge did not want to be wet and cold. The hedge was angry and scared. + +"Stop! Stop!" the hedge said. "You are hurting me! You are making me sick! Go away!" + +Tim and Lily were surprised and scared too. They did not know the hedge could talk. They did not know the hedge did not like water. They did not want to hurt the hedge. They wanted to be friends with the hedge. + +"Sorry, sorry!" Tim and Lily said. "We did not know. We wanted to help you. We wanted to play with you." + +The hedge was still angry and sad. But the hedge saw that Tim and Lily were sorry and did not mean to be bad. The hedge decided to forgive them and teach them. + +"It's okay, it's okay," the hedge said. "But you have to learn. Not all things like water. Some things like sun. Some things like shade. Some things like dirt. You have to be careful and kind. You have to ask and listen. Then you can be friends with all things." + +Tim and Lily nodded and smiled. They thanked the hedge and said sorry again. They learned a new lesson and made a new friend. They played with the hedge and the birds and the bugs. They poured water on the things that liked water. They left the things that did not like water alone. They had fun and were happy. +Lily and Max were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +But then they saw a car parked on the street. It had four tires and one of them was flat. Lily had an idea. She said to Max, "Let's take the snowman's nose and put it on the tire. It will look funny." + +Max was not sure. He said, "But that is not nice. The car belongs to someone. They will be sad if they see their tire with a nose." + +Lily said, "Don't be silly. It is just a joke. Come on, it will be fun." + +She took the snowman's nose and ran to the car. Max followed her. He felt guilty. He hoped no one would see them. + +They put the carrot on the tire and laughed. They thought it looked very funny. They did not see the man who came out of the house. He was the owner of the car. He saw them and shouted, "Hey, you kids! What are you doing? That is my tire! Give me back my carrot!" + +Lily and Max were scared. They dropped the carrot and ran away. They did not say sorry. They felt very guilty. + +They ran back to their snowman. He looked sad without his nose. They felt sorry for him too. They were cold and wet. They shivered. They wished they had not done the bad thing. They learned their lesson. They decided to be nice and not play jokes on other people's things. +Ben and Lily liked to bounce on the big bed in their room. They bounced up and down, and laughed and shouted. They pretended they were on a rocket, or a trampoline, or a cloud. They had so much fun bouncing on the bed. + +But their mom did not like it when they bounced on the bed. She said it was bad for the bed, and it was too loud, and it was not safe. She told them to stop bouncing on the bed, and to play with their toys, or read a book, or draw a picture. She said they could bounce on the bed only on their birthday, or when they were very good. + +One day, Ben and Lily were bored. They had played with their toys, and read a book, and drawn a picture. They wanted to do something else. They looked at the big bed in their room. They thought it looked so soft and cozy and fun. They wanted to bounce on the bed. + +They looked at each other, and smiled. They had a plan. They waited until their mom was busy in the kitchen. Then they tiptoed to their room, and closed the door. They climbed on the bed, and started to bounce. They bounced up and down, and laughed and shouted. They pretended they were on a rocket, or a trampoline, or a cloud. They had so much fun bouncing on the bed. + +But they did not know that their mom was not really busy in the kitchen. She was just pretending to be busy. She wanted to surprise them with a cake and ice cream, because it was their birthday. She had heard them bouncing on the bed, and she was not happy. She walked to their room, and opened the door. She saw them bouncing on the bed, and she was very angry. She said, "Ben and Lily, what are you doing? You know you are not allowed to bounce on the bed, unless it is your birthday, or you are very good. And today is not your birthday, and you are not very good. You are very naughty and lazy. You have to stop bouncing on the bed, and go to the time-out place. And no cake and ice cream for you." + +Ben and Lily stopped bouncing on the bed. They looked at their mom, and they were very sad. They said, "But mom, today is our birthday. We are not naughty and lazy. We are good and happy. We just wanted to bounce on the bed, because it is our birthday, and we like to bounce on the bed. Please, mom, can we have cake and ice cream?" + +Their mom looked at them, and she was very surprised. She said, "Oh, Ben and Lily, I am so sorry. I forgot it was your birthday. I was just joking with you. I have a cake and ice cream for you in the kitchen. You can bounce on the bed, because it is your birthday, and you are good and happy. I love you, Ben and Lily. Happy birthday!" + +Ben and Lily looked at their mom, and they were very happy. They said, "Thank you, mom. We love you, too. Happy birthday to us!" They hugged their mom, and then they bounced on the bed, and laughed and shouted. They pretended they were on a rocket, or a trampoline, or a cloud. They had so much fun bouncing on the bed. And then they had cake and ice cream, and they had the best birthday ever. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big onion in the dirt. They did not know what it was. + +"Look, a ball!" Tom said. He picked up the onion and threw it to Lily. + +"Ow!" Lily said. The onion hit her in the face. It made her eyes water and her nose hurt. She dropped the onion and cried. + +"Sorry, sorry!" Tom said. He ran to Lily and hugged her. "Are you okay?" + +"No!" Lily said. She pushed Tom away. "You are mean! You hurt me with the ball!" + +"It is not a ball, it is an onion," Tom said. He tried to explain. "It is for eating, not for playing. It makes you cry when you cut it or hit it." + +"I don't understand!" Lily said. She was angry and sad. "You are a bad friend! Go away!" + +Tom felt bad. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He wanted to make her happy. He thought the onion was a perfect toy. But he was wrong. He picked up the onion and walked away. He did not have a friend anymore. +Sara and Ben were excited to go to the post office with their mom. They wanted to see the stamps and send a letter to their grandma. Mom gave them each a stamp to stick on the envelope. Sara chose a stamp with a butterfly and Ben chose a stamp with a car. + +"Look, mom, I have a butterfly stamp!" Sara said. + +"That's very pretty, Sara," mom said. + +"Look, mom, I have a car stamp!" Ben said. + +"That's very cool, Ben," mom said. + +They walked to the post office and waited in line. Sara and Ben held their envelopes and stamps carefully. They did not want to lose them. + +When it was their turn, mom gave the envelopes to the lady behind the counter. The lady smiled and took them. + +"Thank you for your letters," the lady said. "Do you want a sticker?" + +"Yes, please!" Sara and Ben said. + +The lady gave them each a sticker. Sara got a sticker with a flower and Ben got a sticker with a star. + +"Thank you, lady!" Sara and Ben said. + +They put their stickers on their shirts and followed mom out of the post office. + +They were happy and proud of their letters and stickers. + +But then, something bad happened. + +A big dog came running towards them. It barked loudly and jumped on them. It knocked them down and bit their shirts. It tore off their stickers and stamps. + +Sara and Ben screamed and cried. Mom tried to push the dog away, but it was too strong. + +"Help, help!" mom shouted. + +The dog ran away with their stickers and stamps in its mouth. + +Sara and Ben were very sad and scared. They had no stickers and stamps left. + +Mom hugged them and said she was sorry. + +"Let's go home and call grandma," mom said. "We can tell her what happened and say we love her." + +Sara and Ben nodded, but they were still upset. + +They wished they had never mentioned the stamps to the dog. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw a big building with many colors and shapes. They wanted to see it. + +"Let's go there!" Tom said. "It looks fun!" + +"OK!" Lila said. "But we have to be careful. Maybe it is not for us." + +They ran to the building. It had a big door and many windows. They saw people inside. They wore different clothes and had different things. They heard music and bells. + +"What is this?" Lila asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it is a temple. A place where people pray and sing." + +They went inside. They saw statues and candles and flowers. They smelled incense and spices. They felt curious and happy. + +"Hello, children," a man said. He had a kind smile and a long beard. He wore a robe and a hat. "Welcome to our temple. Do you want to learn about our culture and religion?" + +"Yes, please!" Lila and Tom said. They realized he was friendly and nice. They wanted to know more. + +The man took them by the hand and showed them around. He told them stories and taught them words. He gave them sweets and stickers. He made them laugh and smile. + +Lila and Tom had a lot of fun. They learned a lot. They made a new friend. They thanked the man and said goodbye. + +They ran back to the park. They told their mom and dad what they saw and did. They were proud and happy. + +They realized they liked to explore and learn. They realized they liked to meet new people and cultures. They realized they liked to play and have fun. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look at the stars. One day, they saw a big rocket in the sky. It was going to a new planet. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "I wish I could go to a new planet." + +"Me too," Lily said. "Maybe there are aliens there. Do you think they are friendly?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe they are intelligent. Maybe they can talk and play like us." + +"Or maybe they are scary and mean," Lily said. "Maybe they want to hurt us." + +Ben hugged Lily. "Don't be afraid," he said. "We have each other. We are brave. And we are intelligent too." + +Lily smiled. "You're right," she said. "We are brave and intelligent. And we are friends. Friends forever." + +They looked at each other and nodded. "Friends forever," they said together. "We promise." +Tom and Anna were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They saw a big bowl, some eggs, some flour and some sugar. They also saw a small jar with white crystals. They did not know what it was. + +"Let's put some of this in the cake," Tom said, pointing to the jar. "It looks like sugar." + +"OK," Anna said. She opened the jar and poured some of the crystals into the bowl. They mixed everything with a spoon. + +"Let's put the cake in the oven," Tom said. He turned on the oven and put the bowl inside. He did not know how long to wait. + +Soon, they smelled something bad. Smoke came out of the oven. The cake was burning. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Anna shouted. Mom came running. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. She opened the oven and took out the bowl. The cake was black and hard. She tasted a bit. It was very salty. + +"Did you put salt in the cake?" Mom asked. + +"Salt?" Tom and Anna said. They looked at the jar. It said "salt" on the label. + +"Oh no," Tom and Anna said. They felt sorry. + +Mom hugged them. "It's OK," she said. "You wanted to make me a cake. That's very sweet. But next time, ask me before you use the oven. And read the labels before you use the ingredients. Salt is not for cakes. It's for other things." + +"Like what?" Tom and Anna asked. + +"Like soup," Mom said. "Or fries. Or popcorn. Do you want some popcorn?" + +"Yes!" Tom and Anna said. They forgot about the cake. Mom made them some popcorn. It was not enormous, but it was yummy. They ate it with Mom and watched a movie. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing on the shore. They liked to build sand castles and dig holes. They also liked to watch the waves and the birds. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big castle!" Ben said, pointing to his sand creation. "It has a tower and a wall and a flag." + +"That's nice, Ben, but mine is bigger!" Lily said, showing him her castle. "It has two towers and a moat and a bridge." + +They were both proud of their castles, but they did not see a big wave coming. The wave crashed on the shore and destroyed their castles. The sand and water washed away their towers, walls, flags, moats and bridges. + +"Oh no, our castles!" Ben and Lily cried. They were sad and angry. They looked at the wave and shouted, "Bad wave! Go away! Don't destroy our castles!" + +But the wave did not listen. It came back again and again, and destroyed more sand and shells and rocks. Ben and Lily ran away from the water. They were wet and cold and tired. + +They found their mom and dad, who were sitting on a blanket. They hugged them and told them what happened. + +"I'm sorry, Ben and Lily, that the wave destroyed your castles," mom said. "But you can build new ones tomorrow. The shore will always have sand and water and fun." + +"Can we go home now?" Lily asked. "I'm sleepy." + +"Me too," Ben said. "I want to sleep in my bed." + +"Okay, let's go home," dad said. "You did a good job today. You are very creative and brave." + +They packed their things and left the shore. They got in the car and drove home. Ben and Lily fell asleep on the way. They dreamed of new castles and new adventures. +Sam and Mia were very excited. They were going to pack their bags and go on a big rocket. They had never been on a rocket before. They wanted to see the stars and the moon and maybe some aliens. + +"Can I take my teddy bear?" Mia asked her mom. + +"Of course, sweetie. You can take one toy with you. But not too many. We don't have much space on the rocket," mom said. + +"I will take my dinosaur. He is very brave and strong. He can protect us from the aliens," Sam said. + +"OK, then. Let's pack your bags and get ready. The rocket will leave soon," mom said. + +They packed their bags with their clothes, their toothbrushes, their snacks and their toys. They put on their special suits and helmets. They said goodbye to dad and grandma. They got in the car and drove to the rocket station. + +There they saw the big rocket. It was very tall and shiny. It had a pointy nose and a round window. It had wings and boosters. It looked very impressive. + +"Wow! Look at that!" Sam and Mia said. + +They got out of the car and followed mom to the rocket. They showed their tickets and climbed the stairs. They found their seats and buckled their belts. They heard a loud voice counting down. + +"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blast off!" + +The rocket made a loud noise and a bright fire. It lifted off the ground and flew into the sky. Sam and Mia felt a push on their chests. They looked out the window and saw the earth getting smaller and smaller. They saw the clouds and the blue sky. They saw the sun and the stars. They smiled and hugged their toys. + +They were on their way to a big adventure. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the backyard. They have a big board that they use as a slide. They put the board on the grass and run up and down. + +One day, it rains a lot. The grass is wet and muddy. The board is slippery. Tim and Sam want to play with the board anyway. They put on their boots and coats and go outside. + +"Look, the board is like a water slide!" Tim says. He runs up the board and slides down. He splashes into a puddle. He laughs. + +"Me too, me too!" Sam says. He follows Tim and slides down the board. He also splashes into the puddle. He laughs too. + +They do it again and again. They have fun. They don't care that they are wet and dirty. They soak their boots and coats and hair. + +But after a while, they start to feel cold and hungry. Their teeth chatter. Their tummies rumble. + +"Let's go inside and have some soup," Tim says. + +"OK, but we have to clean the board first," Sam says. + +They lift the board and shake off the water and mud. They lean it against the fence. They run inside the house. + +Mom sees them and smiles. She has a pot of soup on the stove. She gives them towels and dry clothes. She says, "You look like you had fun with the board. But you also look like you need some soup. Come and sit down." + +Tim and Sam sit down and eat the soup. They feel warm and full. They thank Mom and tell her about their water slide. Mom listens and nods. She says, "I'm glad you had fun. But next time, don't soak yourselves so much. You might catch a cold." + +Tim and Sam nod. They say, "OK, Mom. We love you." + +They hug Mom and go to their room. They play with their toys and read their books. They are happy. They are not wet and dirty anymore. They are not cold and hungry anymore. They are cozy and sleepy. They fall asleep. They dream of the board and the puddle. They dream of the soup and Mom. They dream of each other. They are brothers. They are friends. +Lily and Tom are playing in the kitchen. They want to cook something yummy for their mom. They see a big jar of powder on the shelf. It is white and soft. + +"Let's use this powder to make a cake!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Tom agrees. + +They take a bowl and a spoon and pour some powder into the bowl. They add some water and stir it. It looks like batter. + +"Can we taste it?" Tom asks. + +"Sure!" Lily says. + +They each take a little bit of the batter and put it in their mouths. They make a funny face. + +"Yuck! This is not sweet! This is mild!" Lily says. + +"This is not powder for cake! This is powder for soup!" Tom says. + +They spit out the batter and rinse their mouths. They look at the jar again. It says "flour". + +"Oops! We used the wrong powder!" Lily says. + +"Mom will not like this cake!" Tom says. + +They hear their mom coming into the kitchen. They hide the bowl and the jar behind their backs. + +"Hi, kids! What are you doing?" Mom asks. + +"Nothing!" Lily and Tom say. + +Mom smiles and sees the mess on the table. She sees some flour on their faces. + +"Are you sure you are not cooking something?" Mom asks. + +Lily and Tom giggle and show her the bowl and the jar. + +"We tried to make a cake, but we used flour instead of sugar!" Lily says. + +Mom laughs and hugs them. + +"That's OK, my sweeties. You can help me cook a real cake later. But first, let's clean up this mild powder!" Mom says. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. Sometimes they share, and sometimes they fight. + +One day, Lily finds a big chair in the corner. It is soft and fluffy. She wants to sit on it and read her book. She puts her book on the chair and goes to get a drink. + +Ben sees the chair and the book. He thinks it looks fun. He runs to the chair and climbs on it. He opens the book and gazes at the pictures. He does not know how to read, but he likes the colors and shapes. + +Lily comes back and sees Ben on the chair. She is angry. She shouts, "That is my chair and my book! Get off now!" + +Ben does not want to get off. He says, "No, it is my chair and my book! I was here first!" + +They start to pull and push each other. They make a lot of noise. They do not hear their mom coming. + +Mom sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, both of you! That is not a good way to behave. You need to share and take turns. How would you feel if someone took your things?" + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We feel bad." + +Mom says, "It is okay. I forgive you. But you need to be kind and respectful to each other. Why don't you sit on the chair together and read the book? I can help you with the words." + +Lily and Ben nod. They hug and say, "We love you, mom. We love each other, too." + +They sit on the chair together and read the book. Mom sits with them and helps them. They have a good time. They learn new words and stories. They are happy. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the seal. The seal was big and gray, and had a ball on its nose. It could clap its flippers and make funny noises. + +"Look, mom, the seal is so smart!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is very obedient. It does what the trainer tells it to do," mom said. + +The trainer gave the seal a fish as a reward. The seal was happy and ate the fish. Then the trainer asked the seal to spread its flippers wide and wave to the people. The seal did as it was told and everyone clapped and cheered. + +"Can we do that too, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, why not? Let's spread our arms wide and wave to the seal," mom said. + +Lily and Ben copied the seal and spread their arms wide. They waved to the seal and smiled. The seal saw them and waved back. It made a loud sound that sounded like "hello". + +"Hello, seal!" Lily and Ben said. + +The seal, Lily, and Ben became friends. They had a lot of fun at the zoo. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They skip and run and laugh. They see a big bull in a field. The bull is black and has horns. + +"Look, a bull!" Lily says. "He is big and scary." + +"No, he is not scary. He is regular," Ben says. "He eats grass and sleeps. He does not hurt us." + +Lily and Ben go closer to the fence. They want to see the bull better. The bull sees them too. He makes a loud noise. He runs to the fence. He shakes his head. + +"Roar!" the bull says. "Go away! This is my field!" + +Lily and Ben are scared. They run away from the fence. They skip and run and cry. They find their moms. They hug them. + +"Mama, mama, there is a bull in the park!" Lily says. "He is big and scary. He roared at us." + +"Mommy, mommy, there is a bull in the park!" Ben says. "He is regular, but he was angry. He ran at us." + +Their moms hug them. They tell them it is okay. They tell them the bull is in a safe place. They tell them not to go near the fence. They tell them to play somewhere else. + +Lily and Ben nod. They are not scared anymore. They skip and run and laugh. They play in the park. They see a dog, a bird, and a flower. They are happy. +Tom and Sue like to jog in the park. They jog fast and slow, up and down, and around and around. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, dogs, and people. + +One day, they see a big nest on a high branch. They stop and look at the nest. They wonder what is inside the nest. Maybe eggs, maybe baby birds, maybe something else. + +"Hello, nest!" Tom says. "What do you have in you?" + +The nest does not answer. It is quiet and still. + +"Maybe the nest is shy," Sue says. "Or maybe it is sleeping." + +They jog closer to the nest. They want to see better. They stretch their necks and their arms. They stand on their toes. + +But they do not see that a big bird is watching them. The bird is the nest's owner. The bird is angry and scared. The bird thinks Tom and Sue want to hurt the nest and the eggs. + +The bird flies down and makes a loud noise. "Squawk! Squawk! Go away! Go away!" The bird says. + +Tom and Sue are surprised and scared. They do not know what the bird is saying. They do not know why the bird is angry. They are ignorant of the bird's feelings. + +They run away from the nest and the bird. They jog fast and far. They do not look back. + +They learn a lesson. They learn to respect the nest and the bird. They learn to not bother things that are not theirs. They learn to be careful and kind. +Sara likes to design pictures with her crayons. She draws houses, flowers, animals and people. She has many colors to choose from. She likes to make her pictures bright and happy. + +One day, she decides to design a picture of her family. She draws her mommy, her daddy, her baby brother and herself. She gives them all smiles and clothes. She draws her mommy with a long dress, her daddy with a hat, her baby brother with a bib and herself with a bow. + +She shows her picture to her mommy and says, "Look, mommy, I made a picture of us!" + +Mommy looks at the picture and smiles. She says, "That's a very nice picture, Sara. You are very good at designing pictures. I like how you used different colors and shapes." + +Sara beams and says, "Thank you, mommy. Do you like how I drew you?" + +Mommy nods and says, "Yes, I do. You made me look very pretty. But why did you draw me so chubby?" + +Sara tilts her head and says, "Chubby? What is chubby?" + +Mommy explains, "Chubby means round and soft, like a pillow. See, you drew me with a big circle for my body and a small circle for my head." + +Sara giggles and says, "Oh, I see. I drew you chubby because I love you, mommy. You are warm and cuddly, like a pillow. You give me hugs and kisses. You are the best mommy in the world." + +Mommy hugs Sara and says, "I love you too, Sara. You are sweet and smart, like a cookie. You make me happy and proud. You are the best daughter in the world." +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big hill of dirt with many tiny black dots. They went closer and saw that they were ants. + +"Wow, look at all the ants!" Ben said. "They are so busy and fast. What are they doing?" + +Lily pointed to a leaf that some ants were carrying. "They are taking food to their home. They work together and help each other." + +Ben nodded. He wanted to see more. He picked up a stick and poked the hill. The ants got angry. They came out of the hill and started to bite Ben's hand. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. He dropped the stick and ran away. Lily followed him. They rushed to the house and told their mom what happened. + +Mom looked at Ben's hand. It had red spots where the ants bit him. She put some cream on it and gave him a hug. "You should not bother the ants, Ben. They are very small, but they can defend themselves. They don't like it when you poke their home." + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I was curious. I didn't mean to hurt them." Ben said. + +Mom smiled. "It's okay, Ben. I know you like to learn new things. But you have to be careful and respectful of the animals and plants in the garden. They have feelings too, you know." + +Ben nodded. He learned his lesson. He and Lily decided to play with something else. They saw an enormous ball in the corner. They kicked it and rolled it and had fun. They left the ants alone. The ants were happy too. They continued to take food to their home and work together and help each other. +Tom and Mia liked to play with their toy boat. They had a big tub of water in the backyard, and they would sail the boat on it. Sometimes they pretended to be pirates, and sometimes they pretended to be explorers. + +One day, they found a regular mug in the kitchen. It was blue and had a handle. Tom had an idea. He said to Mia, "Let's use this mug as a treasure. We can hide it in the tub and look for it with our boat." + +Mia agreed. She said, "That sounds fun. But we have to be careful. The mug might sink or break." + +They took the mug outside and put it in the tub. Then they sailed their boat around, pretending to have a map and a compass. They said things like, "Ahoy, matey!" and "Land ho!" + +After a while, they spotted the mug. It was half-buried in the water, near the edge of the tub. Tom said, "Look, Mia, we found the treasure! Let's get it!" + +They reached for the mug, but they were too excited. They leaned over too much, and the boat tipped over. They both fell into the tub, splashing water everywhere. + +They were wet and cold, but they laughed. They held the mug in their hands, and felt proud. They had found the treasure, and they had had a great adventure. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with mud and make things. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They want to make a house with the box and the mud. + +They mix some mud and water in a bucket. They use a stick to make it smooth. They put the mud on the box to make walls and a roof. They make a door and a window with scissors. They are happy with their house. It is brown and wet. + +But then, Max comes. Max is a big boy. He is mean. He sees the house and laughs. He says it is ugly and dirty. He kicks the house and breaks it. He throws the mud at Lily and Ben. They are sad and angry. They cry and shout. + +Mom hears them and comes. She sees the broken house and the muddy kids. She is not happy. She scolds Max and tells him to go away. She hugs Lily and Ben and tells them to come inside. She helps them clean up and gives them cookies. She says they can make another house tomorrow. She says they are good and creative. They smile and thank her. They are happy again. +Lila and Sam were on the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. The sea was blue and shiny and made funny noises. + +"Look, mom, look!" Lila said, pointing at the sky. "The sun is going away!" + +Mom smiled and hugged Lila. "Yes, sweetie, the sun is going down. That means it's time for bed soon." + +"But I don't want to go to bed!" Sam said, pouting. "I want to stay here and play!" + +Mom kissed Sam on the cheek. "I know, honey, but you need to rest. Besides, you might see something special if you look at the sea." + +"What is it, mom?" Lila asked, curious. + +Mom pointed at the water. "Do you see those little lights? They are called stars. They glow in the dark and make the sea look pretty." + +Lila and Sam gasped. They saw the stars twinkling on the sea. They looked like tiny diamonds. They were so beautiful. + +"Wow, mom, they are amazing!" Lila said, clapping her hands. + +"Can we touch them, mom?" Sam asked, reaching out his hand. + +Mom shook her head. "No, sweetie, they are too far away. And they are very hot. They are like little suns. But you can make a wish on them. Maybe it will come true." + +Lila and Sam closed their eyes and made a wish. They wished they could come back to the beach and see the stars again. Then they opened their eyes and smiled. + +"Thank you, mom, for showing us the stars," Lila said, hugging mom. + +"Thank you, mom, for making us happy," Sam said, hugging mom too. + +Mom hugged them back. "You're welcome, my loves. Now let's go to our tent and get ready for bed. Maybe we can dream of the stars and the sea." + +Lila and Sam nodded. They followed mom and dad to their tent. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They snuggled in their sleeping bags and said good night. They fell asleep, dreaming of the stars and the sea. They glowed in their hearts. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But they do not like to share. Sometimes they fight over the same toy and make a lot of noise. + +One day, Mom gives them a treat. She says, "This is a cake. It is very yummy. You can have it after lunch. But you have to be good and share your toys. If you fight, I will lock the cake in the cupboard and you will not get any. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We will be good and share." Mom smiles and puts the cake on the table. She says, "I will be back soon. Do not touch the cake until I say so." She leaves the room. + +Lily and Ben look at the cake. It is big and round and has pink frosting and sprinkles. It looks very yummy. They want to have some now. They forget what Mom said. + +Lily says, "I want a piece of cake. It is my treat." Ben says, "No, it is mine. I saw it first." They start to argue. They pull the cake from each other. The cake breaks into two pieces. Some frosting and sprinkles fall on the floor. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes back to the room. She sees the mess. She is very angry. She says, "What have you done? You did not listen to me. You did not share. You ruined the cake. Now you will not get any treat. I will lock the cake in the cupboard and throw it away later. Go to your room and think about what you did." + +Lily and Ben feel very sorry. They cry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were bad. We want some cake. Please do not lock it away." But Mom does not listen. She takes the cake and puts it in the cupboard. She locks it with a key. She says, "Maybe next time you will be good and share. Now go to your room and stay there until I call you." + +Lily and Ben go to their room. They are very sad. They hug each other. They say, "We are sorry. We love you. We will share next time." They hope Mom will forgive them and give them some cake later. They do not know that the cupboard is very thin and has a hole. A mouse smells the cake and sneaks in. The mouse eats the cake and leaves nothing behind. The mouse is very happy. Lily and Ben are not. +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big building with bars on the windows. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's go find out," Tim said. He was excited and curious. + +"OK, but be careful," Sam said. He was a little scared and nervous. + +They walked to the building and found a door that was open. They sneaked inside and saw many people in orange clothes. They were in jail. The people looked sad and angry. + +"Who are you?" a man with a beard shouted. He saw Tim and Sam and ran towards them. + +"Run!" Tim said. He and Sam turned around and tried to get out. But the door was closed and locked. They were trapped. + +"Help!" Sam cried. He was very scared and sorry. + +A woman in a blue uniform came. She was a police officer. She saw Tim and Sam and shook her head. + +"What are you doing here?" she asked. She was not happy and friendly. + +"We were just playing," Tim said. He was very scared and sorry too. + +"Well, you shouldn't play here. This is a jail. It is not a place for children. It is a place for bad people who break the rules. You broke the rules too. Now you have to stay here until your parents come. They will be very angry and disappointed," she said. She took Tim and Sam to a small room with bars. She locked the door and left. + +Tim and Sam looked at each other. They were not excited and curious anymore. They were sad and sorry. They wished they never went to the jail. They wished they listened to Sam. They wished they could go home. They learned a hard lesson. The end. +Anna and Lily were sisters who liked to play together. One day, they found a bottle of perfume in their mom's room. It smelled nice and had a pink flower on it. + +"Let's play with it!" Anna said. She sprayed some perfume on her hair and dress. "Now I smell like a princess!" + +"Me too!" Lily said. She sprayed some perfume on her teddy bear and hugged it. "Now Teddy smells like a princess too!" + +They giggled and ran around the room, pretending to be princesses. They put on some of mom's hats and scarves and danced in front of the mirror. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what they were doing. She saw the perfume bottle on the floor and the clothes on the bed. She was not happy. + +"Girls, what are you doing?" she asked. "This is my perfume, not yours. You should not play with it. It is not a toy. And you made a mess of my room. You need to clean it up right now." + +Anna and Lily felt sorry. They did not mean to make mom angry. They put the perfume bottle back on the dresser and the clothes back in the closet. They said sorry to mom and gave her a hug. + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She knew they were just playful and curious. She said, "It's okay, girls. I forgive you. But next time, please ask me before you use my things. And don't spray too much perfume. It can make you sneeze." + +Anna and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They said, "We love you, mom. You smell nice too." + +Mom said, "I love you too, girls. Now, let's relax and read a story together." She took them to the couch and opened a book. They cuddled and listened to mom's voice. They felt happy and cozy. They smelled like perfume and love. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to slide on the big metal slide. It is shiny and fast. They take turns to go down the slide and laugh. + +"Can I go again?" Tom asks Lily. He likes the slide a lot. + +"OK, but then it is my turn," Lily says. She is friendly and shares with Tom. + +They go up the stairs and sit on the slide. But before they can slide down, they hear a voice. + +"Excuse me, can I play with you?" The voice belongs to a boy who is standing near the slide. He has a red hat and a blue shirt. He looks shy and lonely. + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They do not know the boy. But he seems nice and he requested to play with them. + +"Sure, you can play with us," Tom says. He smiles at the boy. "What is your name?" + +"I am Sam," the boy says. He smiles back. "Thank you for letting me play with you." + +"You are welcome," Lily says. She moves over and makes room for Sam on the slide. "We are Tom and Lily. Do you like the slide?" + +"Yes, I do. It is fun and cool," Sam says. He sits on the slide with Tom and Lily. They slide down together and laugh. + +Tom, Lily and Sam become friends. They play on the slide and on the swings and on the seesaw. They have a lot of fun in the park. They are happy. +Tom and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and balls and books. One day, they found a big box in the park. It had many old things inside. They saw a hat, a map, a coin, and a medal. + +"Wow, look at these!" Tom said. "They are from history. They are very old and special. I want them all!" + +"No, Tom, you can't have them all!" Sam said. "We have to share. Maybe someone else needs them. They are not ours." + +Tom did not listen. He grabbed the hat, the map, the coin, and the medal. He ran away from Sam. He was very happy. He thought he was successful. + +But Sam was very sad. He felt lonely and angry. He followed Tom to his house. He knocked on the door. He wanted to talk to Tom. + +"Tom, please open the door!" Sam said. "We are friends. We have to be nice to each other. You have to accept that you can't have everything. You have to give some things back." + +Tom heard Sam. He felt sorry. He knew he was wrong. He opened the door. He gave Sam the hat, the map, the coin, and the medal. He said sorry to Sam. + +"Sam, I am sorry. You are right. I was greedy and mean. I don't need these things. They are from history. They belong to someone else. I accept that I can't have everything. I want to share with you. Can we still be friends?" + +Sam smiled. He hugged Tom. He said yes. They were friends again. They decided to return the box to the park. They hoped someone would find it and learn from history. They learned that being successful is not about having everything, but about being kind and generous. +Tom and Mia are best friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a red collar. The dog is lost. + +"Who are you, dog?" Tom asks. He is not afraid of dogs. He likes to pet them. + +The dog barks. It wags its tail. It looks sad. + +"Maybe he needs help," Mia says. She is kind and nosy. She likes to know things. + +"Let's search for his home," Tom says. He is brave and smart. He likes to solve problems. + +Tom and Mia walk with the dog. They look at the houses. They look for a sign with the dog's name. They do not find it. + +"Where do you live, dog?" Mia asks. She is worried. She wants the dog to be happy. + +The dog barks again. It pulls on its collar. It runs to a gate. The gate is blue and white. It has a picture of a dog. + +"Look, Tom, look!" Mia says. She points to the gate. She is excited. She thinks they found the dog's home. + +Tom and Mia follow the dog. They open the gate. They see a garden. They see a woman. The woman is smiling. She has a bowl of food. + +"Rex, Rex, you're back!" the woman says. She hugs the dog. She is happy. She loves the dog. + +"Hello, lady," Tom says. He is polite. He likes to talk. + +"Hello, children," the woman says. She looks at Tom and Mia. She is grateful. She thanks them. + +"You are Rex's heroes," the woman says. She gives them a cookie. She gives them a hug. + +Tom and Mia smile. They are proud. They are heroes. They eat the cookie. They pet the dog. They are friends. +One day, a little boy named Ben went to the zoo with his mom. He liked to see all the animals, but his favorite was the crocodile. He wanted to feed the crocodile some meat, but his mom said no. + +"Mom, why can't I supply the crocodile some meat?" Ben asked. + +"Because the crocodile is very big and strong, and you are very small and weak," his mom said. "The crocodile might bite you or hurt you. You have to stay away from the crocodile and watch him from behind the fence." + +Ben was sad. He wanted to be friends with the crocodile. He thought the crocodile was lonely and hungry. He looked at the crocodile and said, "Hello, crocodile. I am Ben. I want to supply you some meat, but my mom won't let me. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The crocodile heard Ben and opened his big mouth. He showed his sharp teeth and made a loud noise. He did not want to be Ben's friend. He wanted to eat Ben. + +Ben was scared. He ran back to his mom and hugged her. He said, "Mom, the crocodile is very mean and scary. He does not want to be my friend. He wants to eat me." + +His mom hugged him and said, "I told you, Ben. The crocodile is not a nice animal. He is not a good friend. He is a dangerous animal. You have to be careful and listen to me. I love you and I want to keep you safe." + +Ben nodded and said, "I love you too, mom. I am sorry I did not listen to you. I will not try to supply the crocodile some meat again. I will watch him from far away." + +His mom smiled and said, "That's a good boy. Now, let's go and see some other animals. Maybe you can find a friend who is not a crocodile." +Anna loved to sing. She sang all day, at home, at school, and in the park. She had a beautiful voice that made people happy. She wanted to be a famous singer, like the ones she saw on TV. + +One day, a man came to her school. He said he was a music teacher, and he wanted to hear Anna sing. He said he could make her a star, and give her a lot of money and toys. He said he knew the value of her voice, and he could help her become famous. + +Anna was excited, but also scared. She did not know the man, and he looked mean. He had a big car, and he wanted to take her away from her school. He said he had no time to waste, and he refused to let her talk to her teacher or her friends. + +Anna felt something was wrong. She remembered what her mom had told her: never go with strangers, and always trust your feelings. She also remembered her favorite song, that said: "Don't let anyone steal your dreams, or tell you what to do. You have a gift, and you can use it, to make the world a better place." + +Anna decided to say no to the man. She said she did not want to go with him, and she did not need his money or toys. She said she loved to sing, but she also loved her school, her friends, and her family. She said she wanted to be famous, but not like that. + +The man was angry. He tried to grab Anna, but she ran away. She shouted for help, and her teacher and friends came to her rescue. They called the police, and the man was arrested. He was not a music teacher, but a bad man who wanted to kidnap Anna and sell her voice. + +Anna was safe, and everyone was proud of her. She learned a lesson, and she kept singing. She did not become famous right away, but she did not care. She knew she had a value, and she refused to give it up. She sang for herself, and for the people she loved. And that made her happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play at the park every day. They loved to go on the slide, the swings, and the seesaw. They had so much fun together. + +One day, they saw a new slide at the park. It was very big and shiny. It looked amazing. Lily and Ben wanted to try it. They ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I am, Lily," Ben said. + +They sat on the slide and held hands. They smiled at each other. They were very excited. + +They pushed off and slid down the slide. It was very fast and smooth. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and screamed. + +But then, something bad happened. The slide had a sharp turn at the end. Lily and Ben did not see it. They flew off the slide and landed on the ground. They hit their heads and their arms and their legs. They felt a lot of pain. They cried and cried. + +A lady who worked at the park heard them and came to help. She called their moms and dads. She said they had to go to the hospital. She said they had to be careful on the new slide. She said it was not safe for little kids. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were scared and sad. They wished they had not gone on the new slide. They wished they had stayed on the old slide. They wished they had listened to their moms and dads. + +They shrugged and said sorry to each other. They hoped they would be okay. They hoped they would still be best friends. They hoped they would play at the park again. But they did not know. They did not know what would happen next. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to go on the swing and slide and run around. One day, they saw a big bowl of paint near the fence. It had many colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. + +"Let's mix the paint and make new colors!" Lily said. + +"OK, that sounds fun!" Ben said. + +They took some brushes and started to mix the paint in the bowl. They made purple, orange, brown, and more. They laughed and splashed the paint on each other. + +"Look, I'm a rainbow!" Lily said. + +"Me too!" Ben said. + +They were having so much fun that they did not see the man who owned the paint. He was a painter who was working on the fence. He was very angry when he saw what the children had done. He shouted at them and chased them away. + +"Hey, you naughty kids! What have you done to my paint? You ruined it! Go away and never come back!" + +Lily and Ben ran away, scared and sad. They had paint all over their clothes and faces. They felt sorry for what they had done. They learned a lesson that day: they should not mix things that do not belong to them. They should ask before they touch. They should respect other people's work. They should not be lazy and play with things that are not toys. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. They have a big lawn in front of their house. The lawn is wide and green. It has many flowers and trees. + +One day, Ben and Sam want to have a picnic on the lawn. They plan what to bring. They get a blanket, some bread, cheese, apples, and juice. They put everything in a basket. They are ready to go. + +They walk to the lawn. They see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and big ears. It runs to Ben and Sam. It barks loud. + +"Hello, dog!" Ben says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog wags its tail. It sniffs the basket. It likes the smell of cheese. It tries to take the cheese. + +"Hey, no!" Sam says. "That is our cheese. You can't have it." + +The dog growls. It does not want to share. It pulls the cheese with its teeth. + +Ben and Sam pull the cheese back. They have a tug-of-war with the dog. The cheese breaks in half. The dog gets one half. Ben and Sam get the other half. + +The dog is happy. It eats the cheese. It licks its lips. It wags its tail again. + +Ben and Sam are not happy. They have less cheese. They are hungry. They look at the dog. + +"Maybe we can share the rest of the food," Ben says. + +"Maybe," Sam says. "But we have to ask the dog first." + +They ask the dog. The dog nods. It likes to share. It likes to make friends. + +They spread the blanket on the lawn. They sit with the dog. They share the bread, the apples, and the juice. They have a picnic. They have fun. They are happy. +Tommy wanted to take a bath with his new toy boat. He loved his boat. It was red and shiny and had a big sail. He ran to the bathroom with his boat and turned on the water. He wanted to fill the bathtub with lots of water so his boat could sail. + +But Tommy was nervous. He did not know how much water was enough. He did not want to make a mess. He did not want to get in trouble. He looked around the bathroom and saw a cup. He had an idea. He could measure the water with the cup. + +He took the cup and dipped it in the water. He poured the water into the bathtub. He did it again and again. He counted the cups. One, two, three, four, five. He looked at the bathtub. It was not full yet. He kept pouring. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. He looked again. It was almost full. He poured one more cup. Eleven. He smiled. He did it. He measured the water. + +He put the cup down and picked up his boat. He put it in the water and watched it sail. He made waves with his hand and blew on the sail. He was happy. He forgot to be nervous. He had fun with his boat in the bathtub. He did not make a mess. He did not get in trouble. He was proud. He measured the water. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big slide. It is pink and shiny. + +"Wow, look at the slide!" Anna says. "It is so pretty. Can we go on it?" + +"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the slide. They wait for their turn. + +Anna goes first. She climbs up the ladder. She sits on the top. She slides down fast. She laughs and smiles. + +"Yay, that was fun!" she says. "Your turn, Ben!" + +Ben climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top. He slides down fast. He laughs and smiles. + +"Yay, that was fun!" he says. "Let's do it again!" + +They go on the slide again and again. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They love the pink slide. +One day, a little dog was lost in the snow. He was cold and hungry and scared. He shivered and whimpered and looked for a way home. He saw a big house with lights and smoke. He thought maybe there was a human inside who could help him. + +He ran to the door and scratched and barked. He hoped the human would hear him and open the door. He waited and waited, but no one came. He felt more and more cold and sad. He wondered if he would ever see his family again. + +Then he heard a loud noise and saw a big car. He thought maybe the human was in the car and would see him and take him in. He wagged his tail and ran to the car. He tried to get the human's attention and show him he was friendly. + +But the human did not see him. The human was angry and in a hurry. He did not care about the little dog. He drove fast and hit the little dog with his car. The little dog yelped and fell to the ground. He felt a lot of pain and could not move. + +The human did not stop or look back. He drove away and left the little dog alone in the snow. The little dog cried and wished he had a human who was kind and thoughtful. He closed his eyes and stopped breathing. He was gone. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and climb. They were having fun. + +"Tom, I'm hungry. Can we have a snack?" Lily asked. + +"OK, let's go to the bench. Mom gave us some cookies and juice," Tom said. + +They ran to the bench and opened their backpacks. They found their cookies and juice and started to eat. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" a voice said. + +They looked up and saw a big boy with a mean face. He was holding a stick. + +"Give me your cookies and juice. Now!" the big boy said. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not want to give their snack to the big boy. + +"No, this is our snack. Go away!" Tom said. + +The big boy laughed. He swung his stick and hit Tom on the head. Tom fell down and cried. + +Lily screamed. She tried to help Tom, but the big boy grabbed her backpack and ran away. + +"Ha ha, thanks for the snack, losers!" the big boy said. + +Tom and Lily were sad and hurt. They did not know what to do. + +They saw a lady walking by. She had a dog with her. + +"Help, help! The big boy took our snack and hit us!" Lily said. + +The lady stopped and looked at them. She shrugged. + +"Sorry, kids, I can't help you. I have to walk my dog. He's very flexible. Look, he can do tricks!" the lady said. + +She made her dog sit, roll over and shake. The dog barked happily. + +Tom and Lily could not believe it. The lady did not care about them. She only cared about her dog. + +They felt alone and angry. They wished their mom was here. They wished the big boy and the lady would go away. + +They wished they never came to the park. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big tree in the park. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky. Anna said, "Let's climb the tree, Ben. It will be fun." Ben said, "OK, Anna. But be careful. The tree is very high." + +They climbed the tree together, holding on to the branches. They saw many birds and clouds. They felt happy and proud. But then, Anna saw a red apple on a branch. She wanted to eat the apple. She said, "Look, Ben. A tasty apple. I want to have it." Ben said, "No, Anna. Don't go there. The branch is too thin. It might break." + +But Anna did not listen to Ben. She reached for the apple. She pulled it hard. The branch snapped. Anna fell down from the tree. She cried out loud. She hurt her arm and her leg. Ben climbed down quickly. He ran to Anna. He said, "Anna, are you OK? I'm sorry. I should have stopped you." + +A lady heard Anna's cry. She came to help. She said, "Oh, dear. You are hurt. I'm a doctor. I can help you. Come with me. I have a car. I will take you to the hospital." She wrapped Anna's arm and leg with a cloth. She lifted Anna and put her in the car. Ben followed them. He said, "Thank you, doctor. You are very kind." + +At the hospital, the doctor gave Anna some medicine and a bandage. She said, "You will be fine, Anna. But you have to be more careful next time. Climbing trees is fun, but it can be dangerous. You have to listen to your brother. He loves you and wants to protect you." Anna said, "I'm sorry, doctor. I'm sorry, Ben. I was greedy and foolish. I learned my lesson. I will listen to you from now on." Ben said, "It's OK, Anna. I forgive you. I love you, too. You are my sister." They hugged each other. The doctor smiled. She said, "That's good. You are good twins. You have a strong bond. Now, let's go home. And remember, no more climbing trees without permission." Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, doctor. Thank you, doctor." They went home with the doctor. They ate some tasty cookies and drank some milk. They felt better. They thanked the doctor again and said goodbye. They promised to be more careful and to listen to each other. They learned their moral value. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to smell the flowers and look for bugs. They saw a big rose bush with many red roses. They ran to it and picked some roses. + +"Look, Lily, I have a rose for you!" Tom said, giving her a rose. + +"Thank you, Tom, it is very pretty!" Lily said, smiling. She smelled the rose and felt its soft petals. + +They saw another rose on the ground. It was brown and dry. It had no smell and its petals were falling off. + +"What is this, Tom?" Lily asked, pointing to the brown rose. + +Tom looked at it and frowned. He recognized the rose. It was the same rose that he gave to his mom for her birthday. But it was not pretty anymore. It was dead. + +"That is a dead rose, Lily," Tom said, sadly. "It was alive before, but now it is not. It does not grow or smell or feel nice. It is like the leaves in the fall." + +Lily felt sorry for the dead rose. She wondered why it died.

He sees her leg. He is scared too. + +"Ben, Ben, it hurts!" Anna says. "Help me, Ben!" + +Ben does not know what to do. He looks around. He does not see anyone. He does not have a phone. He does not have a band-aid. He does not have a hug. + +He is alone with Anna. Anna is alone with Ben. They are alone in the park. They are alone in the pile of leaves. They are alone with the gray rock. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big hill with a rope. They wanted to climb the hill and pull the rope. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe there is something fun at the top of the hill." + +"OK, Ben!" Lily said. "But be careful. Maybe there is a monster there." + +They ran to the hill and started to climb. The rope was long and strong. They pulled and pulled and pulled. They reached the top of the hill and saw a big tree. + +"Wow, look at the tree!" Ben said. "It is so tall and green. Maybe we can find some fruits." + +"Or maybe we can find a monster!" Lily said. "Maybe the monster lives in the tree and eats the fruits." + +They looked around and saw a big hole in the tree. They heard a loud noise. It sounded like a growl. + +"Uh-oh, Lily!" Ben said. "I think there is a monster in the tree. Let's go back down the hill." + +"No, Ben!" Lily said. "Maybe the monster is nice. Maybe he is lonely. Maybe he wants to play with us." + +Lily walked to the hole and peeked inside. She saw a big furry face with two big eyes and a big nose. The face smiled at her. + +"Hello, little girl!" the face said. "Who are you?" + +"I am Lily!" Lily said. "And this is Ben. We are playing in the park. Who are you?" + +"I am Max!" the face said. "I am a monster. But I am a friendly monster. I live in this tree. Do you want to come in?" + +Lily looked at Ben. Ben looked at Lily. They were scared, but they were also curious. + +"OK, Max!" Lily said. "We will come in. But you have to be nice to us. And you have to share your fruits." + +"OK, Lily!" Max said. "I will be nice to you. And I will share my fruits. I have many fruits. They are yummy and healthy. Come on, let's go inside." + +Lily and Ben followed Max into the tree. They saw a big room with a big bed and a big table. There were many fruits on the table. Max gave them some fruits and they ate them. They were yummy and healthy. + +They talked and laughed and played. They became friends. They forgot about the rope and the hill and the park. They had fun with the monster. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and share. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big truck with many colors. It is a candy truck. + +Lily and Ben love candy. They run to the truck and ask their moms for some money. Their moms say yes and give them some coins. Lily and Ben buy some candy. They are happy. + +They sit on a bench and open their candy. Lily has a red lollipop. Ben has a blue one. They lick their lollipops and smile. They see a boy with a bike. He is riding fast and making noise. He stops near them and looks at their candy. + +"Can I borrow your candy?" he asks. He has a mean face and a tight shirt. Lily and Ben are scared. They shake their heads and hold their candy. The boy gets angry. He tries to grab their candy. Lily and Ben scream. + +Their moms hear them and run to them. They see the boy and the candy. They tell the boy to go away and leave Lily and Ben alone. The boy is scared. He drops the candy and rides away. Lily and Ben hug their moms and say thank you. They pick up their candy and finish their lollipops. They are happy again. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their dad. They saw a big pile of leaves that someone had raked. Tom and Lily wanted to play in the leaves, so they ran to the pile and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves in the air. + +"Look, dad, we are making it rain leaves!" Tom shouted. + +"That's very fun, but be careful not to scatter the leaves too much. Someone worked hard to rake them," dad said. + +But Tom and Lily did not listen. They kept playing and scattering the leaves all over the park. They did not see a fat squirrel that was hiding in the pile. The squirrel was angry that they disturbed his home. He jumped out of the leaves and ran after Tom and Lily. + +"Yikes, a squirrel!" Lily screamed. + +"Run, run!" Tom said. + +They ran away from the squirrel, but the squirrel was faster. He caught up with them and bit Tom's leg. Tom cried out in pain. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The squirrel bit me!" Tom said. + +Dad heard Tom's cry and ran to help him. He saw the fat squirrel and scared him away with a stick. He picked up Tom and checked his leg. It was bleeding a little, but not too much. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" dad asked. + +"It hurts, dad. The squirrel was mean," Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. Let's go home and put a band-aid on your leg. And next time, don't scatter the leaves so much. You never know what might be hiding in them," dad said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to the squirrel and to the person who raked the leaves. They went home with dad and hugged him. They were glad he was there to help them. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a bird with a broken wing. The bird is sad and scared. + +"Look, a bird!" Anna says. "It is hurt. We should help it." + +"Yes, we should," Ben says. "Maybe we can take it to the vet. The vet is a person who helps animals." + +They pick up the bird gently and put it in a box. They walk to the vet's office. They hope the bird will be okay. + +The vet is friendly. She smiles at Anna and Ben. She takes the bird and checks it. She says the bird needs some medicine and a bandage. She says the bird will get better soon. + +"Thank you, vet," Anna and Ben say. "You are very kind. Can we visit the bird later?" + +"Of course, you can," the vet says. "You are very brave and caring. You saved the bird's life. The bird is lucky to have friends like you." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They hug each other. They learn that helping others is good. They hope the bird will fly again. +Tom and Mia were very happy. They were going to have a picnic with Mom and Dad. They helped Mom and Dad pack the big basket with food and drinks. They put in sandwiches, apples, cookies, juice and water. They also packed a blanket, plates, cups and napkins. + +They got in the car and drove to the park. It was a sunny day and the park was full of flowers and birds. They found a nice spot under a big tree and parked the car. Mom and Dad took out the basket and the blanket. Tom and Mia helped them unpack the basket and spread the blanket on the grass. + +"Wow, this looks yummy!" Tom said, looking at the food. + +"Can we eat now, please?" Mia asked, rubbing her tummy. + +"Sure, sweetie, let's eat!" Mom said, smiling. She gave Tom and Mia each a plate and a cup. They filled their plates with sandwiches and apples and their cups with juice. They sat on the blanket and enjoyed their picnic. + +They talked and laughed and ate. They saw some squirrels and butterflies and waved at them. They also shared some cookies with a friendly dog that came to say hello. They had a lot of fun. + +After they finished eating, they packed the basket and the blanket again. They threw away the trash in a bin. They thanked the dog for being nice and said goodbye to the park. They got in the car and drove back home. + +"That was a successful picnic, don't you think?" Dad asked, looking at Tom and Mia. + +"Yes, it was!" Tom and Mia said, nodding. They were very happy. They hugged Mom and Dad and said, "Thank you for the picnic, we love you!" +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big green bottle under a tree. They run to the bottle and pick it up. + +"What is this?" Anna asks. + +"It is wine," Ben says. "My dad drinks wine sometimes. He says it is good for him." + +"Can we drink it too?" Anna asks. + +"No, we can't," Ben says. "Wine is only for grown-ups. It can make us sick." + +They put the bottle down and look for something else to play with. They find a ball and a hoop. They throw the ball into the hoop and laugh. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She is angry. + +"Anna! Ben! What have you done?" she shouts. "You broke my wine bottle! It was a gift from grandma! It was very special!" + +Anna and Ben are scared. They lie on the ground and pretend to sleep. They hope their mom will not see them. + +But their mom sees them. She is not fooled. She walks to them and shakes them. + +"Get up, you naughty children!" she says. "You have to say sorry and help me clean up this mess!" + +Anna and Ben get up. They feel bad. They say sorry to their mom and help her pick up the glass and the wine. They promise to never touch her wine bottle again. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But they do not like to bathe. They think it is boring and cold. + +One day, Mom says, "It is time to bathe, Anna and Ben. Come to the place with water and soap." Anna and Ben say, "No, Mom, we do not want to bathe. We want to play more." Mom says, "You have to bathe, Anna and Ben. You are dirty and smelly. You will feel better after you bathe." + +Anna and Ben run away from Mom. They hide under the bed. They think Mom will not find them. But Mom is smart. She sees their feet under the bed. She says, "I see you, Anna and Ben. Come out from under the bed. You cannot hide from me." + +Anna and Ben are angry. They do not want to come out. They say, "Go away, Mom. We do not like you. You are mean." Mom is sad. She says, "I am not mean, Anna and Ben. I love you. I want you to be clean and healthy. Please come out and bathe." + +Anna and Ben see Mom's face. She looks sad. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We do not mean to make you sad. We love you too. We will come out and bathe." Mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are good twins. I am proud of you. Come on, let's go to the place with water and soap." + +Anna and Ben come out from under the bed. They hold Mom's hand. They go to the place with water and soap. They bathe with Mom's help. They use shampoo and bubbles. They splash and giggle. They have fun. They feel warm and fresh. They hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. We like to bathe." Mom hugs them back and says, "You are welcome, Anna and Ben. You are the best too. I like to bathe with you." They are happy. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a white hat. Sara took Lily everywhere with her. + +One day, Sara and Lily went to the park with Mom. Sara saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She put Lily on the ground and ran to the slide. She climbed up and slid down. It was fun! + +But when Sara came back to get Lily, she saw a big dog. The dog was sniffing Lily and picked her up with his mouth. Sara was scared. She shouted, "No! Give me back my Lily!" + +Mom heard Sara and ran to help. She saw the dog and said, "Drop it! Drop it!" The dog dropped Lily and ran away. Mom picked up Lily and gave her to Sara. + +Sara hugged Lily and cried. Lily was dirty and wet. Her hair was tangled and her dress was torn. Her white hat was gone. And worst of all, Lily was smaller. The dog had made her shrink. + +Sara felt a pain in her heart. She loved Lily so much. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I should have taken care of you. You are my best friend." + +Mom hugged Sara and said, "It's okay, Sara. Lily is still your friend. She still loves you. And we can wash her and fix her and find her a new hat. She will be happy again." + +Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best mom. And Lily is the best doll." She kissed Lily and said, "I love you, Lily. You are still beautiful to me." +Mia and Sam were having a sleepover at their grandma's house. They liked to sleep in the big bed with many pillows and blankets. It was very comfortable and cozy. Grandma gave them each a candle to light in case they got scared of the dark. + +"Good night, my sweeties," Grandma said. "I love you very much. If you need anything, just call me. I'm in the next room." + +"Good night, Grandma. We love you too," Mia and Sam said. + +They blew a kiss to Grandma and snuggled under the covers. They put their candles on the nightstand and watched the flames flicker. They felt warm and safe. + +"Are you sleepy, Mia?" Sam asked. + +"A little bit," Mia said. "But I like to look at the candle. It's pretty and bright." + +"Me too," Sam said. "But don't stare too long. You might hurt your eyes." + +"Okay," Mia said. "Let's close our eyes and make a wish." + +They closed their eyes and thought of something they wanted. Mia wished for a new doll. Sam wished for a new bike. They opened their eyes and smiled at each other. + +"Did you make a wish?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, I did," Sam said. "Did you?" + +"Yes, I did," Mia said. "Do you think it will come true?" + +"Maybe," Sam said. "But we have to keep it a secret. And we have to remain good and kind." + +"Okay," Mia said. "We will. We are good and kind." + +They hugged each other and said good night. They blew out their candles and fell asleep. They dreamed of their wishes and of Grandma. They were happy and comfortable. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill. They wanted to climb it. + +"Let's go up the hill!" Lily said. "Maybe we can touch the sky!" + +"OK!" Tom said. "But we have to be careful. The hill is steep and rocky." + +They started to climb the hill. They went slow and held hands. They saw birds and flowers and bugs. They were happy. + +They got to the top of the hill. They looked at the sky. It was blue and bright. They saw clouds and a sun. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "The sky is so pretty! Can we pick a cloud?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe we can try." + +They reached their hands to the sky. They tried to pick a cloud. But they could not. The cloud was too far and too soft. + +They tried harder. They jumped and stretched. They forgot to be careful. They lost their balance. + +They fell off the hill. They screamed and cried. They got hurt. They were sad. + +The end. +Tom and Anna went to the park with their dad. They saw many animals there, like ducks, rabbits and squirrels. But their favorite was the reindeer. The reindeer had big horns, soft fur and black noses. They looked like the ones in the books about Santa. + +"Can we feed them, dad?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, but only with the food they give us at the gate. And be careful, they are wild animals. They might be scared or angry if you get too close or make loud noises," dad said. + +He gave them some carrots and apples to share with the reindeer. Tom and Anna walked slowly and quietly to the fence, where some reindeer were grazing. They held out their hands with the food and waited. + +One reindeer came closer and sniffed their hands. He liked the smell of the carrots and apples. He took a bite and nodded his head. He seemed to say thank you. Tom and Anna smiled and nodded back. They felt happy and proud. + +Another reindeer saw them and wanted some food too. He ran to the fence and pushed the first reindeer away. He tried to grab the food from Tom and Anna's hands. He was rude and greedy. Tom and Anna got scared and pulled back their hands. They did not like the second reindeer. + +The first reindeer did not like him either. He snorted and kicked the second reindeer with his hoofs. He wanted to protect Tom and Anna and his food. The second reindeer ran away, feeling sorry and ashamed. + +Tom and Anna gave the rest of the food to the first reindeer. He ate it and nodded his head again. He seemed to say you are welcome. Tom and Anna hugged him and said goodbye. They learned that being kind and gentle is better than being mean and selfish. They also learned that reindeer are wild but can be friendly if you treat them well. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, Sara's mom said they could go to the pool. Sara was very happy and ran to tell Tom. + +"Tom, Tom, come with me to the pool! My mom said we can go!" Sara shouted. + +Tom looked sad. He wanted to go to the pool, but his mom did not allow him. She said he had to stay home and do his homework. + +"Sorry, Sara, I can't go. My mom said no. You have fun, okay?" Tom said. + +Sara felt sorry for Tom, but she was also envious. She wished she did not have to do homework. She thought it was not fair that Tom had to miss the pool. She decided to go anyway and have fun. + +Sara and her mom went to the pool. Sara put on her swimsuit and jumped into the water. She splashed and swam and laughed. She saw other kids playing with toys and floats. She wanted to play with them too. + +She saw a big yellow duck float. It looked very fun. She swam over to it and tried to grab it. But another kid was already on it. He was a big boy with a mean face. + +"Hey, that's mine! Go away!" he yelled. + +Sara did not listen. She wanted the duck. She pulled on it and tried to take it away. The boy got angry. He pushed Sara off the duck and into the water. Sara was scared. She could not breathe. She tried to scream, but no one heard her. She sank to the bottom of the pool. She closed her eyes and felt very cold. She did not have fun anymore. She wished she had listened to Tom and stayed home. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with toys, draw pictures and read books. They had a big calendar on the wall with stickers for each day. They were very happy. + +One day, Lily and Ben had a fight. Lily wanted to play with the red car, but Ben said it was his. They both pulled the car and it broke. They were very sad and angry. They said mean words to each other and stopped talking. + +They did not play together for a long time. They missed each other, but they were too proud to say sorry. The calendar on the wall had many stickers, but they did not care. + +One day, Lily saw Ben sitting alone on the couch. He looked sad and bored. She felt sorry for him and for herself. She decided to be brave and kind. She walked to him and said, "Ben, I am sorry. I should not have pulled the car. Can we be friends again?" + +Ben looked at her and smiled. He said, "Lily, I am sorry too. I should not have said mean words. You are my best friend. Can we play together again?" + +They hugged and said, "I forgive you. You forgive me. We are fine." They were very happy and went to play with their toys, draw pictures and read books. They looked at the calendar on the wall and put a big sticker for that day. It was a good day. +Anna and Ben are playing in the bath. They have many toys and bubbles. They are happy and splash each other. + +"Look, Ben, I have a brown boat!" Anna says. She shows him her toy boat. It is brown and has a sail. + +"I have a blue boat!" Ben says. He shows her his toy boat. It is blue and has a motor. + +"My boat is better!" Anna says. She pushes her boat towards Ben's boat. She wants to make his boat sink. + +"No, my boat is better!" Ben says. He pushes his boat towards Anna's boat. He wants to make her boat sink. + +They push and push their boats. They make big waves. The water goes out of the bath. Some water goes on the floor. Some water goes on the wall. Some water goes on the soap. + +"Oh no!" Anna and Ben say. They see the soap. It is wet and slippery. It slides off the shelf. It falls on Ben's head. + +"Ow!" Ben says. He rubs his head. He feels the soap. It is sticky and smells bad. + +"Sorry, Ben!" Anna says. She feels sorry for Ben. She takes the soap off his head. She gives him a hug. + +"It's okay, Anna!" Ben says. He feels better. He hugs her back. + +They hear a knock on the door. It is Mom. + +"Time to get out, kids!" Mom says. She opens the door. She sees the water and the soap. She is not happy. + +"Uh-oh!" Anna and Ben say. They close their eyes. They hope Mom is not too mad. +Tim and Anna liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big horse that they could ride on. The horse was brown and soft, and it made a funny sound when they pressed its ear. + +One day, Tim and Anna had a fight. Tim wanted to ride the horse, but Anna said it was her turn. They shouted and pushed each other, and did not listen to their mom, who told them to share and be nice. They ignored their mom and kept fighting. + +Then, something bad happened. The horse got angry and kicked Tim in the leg. Tim fell down and cried. He had a big bruise and it hurt a lot. Anna was scared and ran to her mom. She said she was sorry and hugged her mom. + +But Tim was still on the ground, and he felt very sad and lonely. He wished he had not fought with Anna, and he wished he had listened to his mom. He wanted to hug his mom and Anna too, but they did not see him. They were too busy with the horse, who was now calm and comfortable. They forgot about Tim, and he felt ignored. He did not like the horse anymore. He did not like anything. He wished he had a friend. +Anna liked to cook with her mom. She helped her mom stir the soup, wash the salad, and cut the bread. She wanted to learn more about cooking, so she was very curious about everything in the kitchen. + +One day, when her mom was busy on the phone, Anna saw a shiny pair of scissors on the counter. She wondered what they were for. She picked them up and looked at them. They had two blades that moved when she opened and closed her hand. She thought they looked like a fun toy. + +She decided to try them on different things. She cut a piece of paper, a string, and a flower. She liked the sound and the feeling of the scissors. She looked around for more things to cut. She saw a red tomato on the cutting board. She thought it would be fun to cut the tomato with the scissors. + +She moved the scissors towards the tomato, but before she could cut it, she heard her mom's voice behind her. + +"Anna, what are you doing with the scissors?" her mom asked, sounding surprised and worried. + +Anna turned around and saw her mom's face. She realized she had done something wrong. She dropped the scissors and the tomato on the floor. She felt scared and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to cook with you," she said, in a small voice. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I know, sweetie, but scissors are not for cooking. They are sharp and dangerous. They can hurt you or make a mess. You have to be careful with them and only use them with me or dad. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I won't touch the scissors again." + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now, let's clean up this mess and finish cooking together. How about we make some tomato sauce for the pasta?" + +Anna smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I love tomato sauce. Can I help you?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, you can. You are my little helper. But first, let's put the scissors away, where they belong." +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a big toy axe that they used to pretend they were woodcutters. One day, they found a big tree that had fallen down. They wanted to chop it up and make a fort. + +"Let me have the axe first!" Tom said. He was older and bossy. + +"No, it's my turn!" Sam said. He was younger and brave. + +They started to fight over the axe. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the big bear that was sleeping under the tree. + +The bear woke up and saw the boys. He was angry and hungry. He roared and ran towards them. + +"Help!" Tom and Sam screamed. They dropped the axe and ran away. + +But the bear was faster. He caught up with them and grabbed Tom by his leg. He opened his mouth to bite him. + +"Please, don't hurt my brother!" Sam said. He was scared but kind. He picked up the axe and threw it at the bear. + +The axe hit the bear on his nose. He let go of Tom and howled in pain. He ran away into the woods. + +Tom and Sam hugged each other. They were safe and sorry. + +"Thank you for saving me, Sam," Tom said. He was grateful and humble. + +"You're welcome, Tom," Sam said. He was happy and proud. + +They decided to share the axe and play nicely. They learned a lesson that day. +Lily and Ben were very excited. They were going on a tour of the zoo with their class. They wanted to see all the animals, especially the lions and the monkeys. They got on the big bus with their teacher and their friends and drove to the zoo. + +When they got there, they followed the zoo guide, who showed them different animals and told them their names and what they liked to eat. Lily and Ben liked the giraffes, who had long necks and spotted fur. They liked the penguins, who slid on the ice and splashed in the water. They liked the elephants, who had big ears and long trunks. + +But they did not like the porcupines, who had sharp spikes on their backs. The zoo guide told them not to touch the porcupines, because they could hurt them. Lily and Ben listened, but they were curious. They wanted to see how the spikes felt. So when the zoo guide was not looking, they sneaked closer to the porcupine cage and reached out their hands. + +"Ow!" Lily and Ben cried out at the same time. They had poked the porcupines and the spikes had poked them back. Their fingers were sore and bleeding. They ran back to the zoo guide, who saw their tears and their wounds. He scolded them for being naughty and took them to the first aid station, where they got bandages and ice. + +Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They decided that porcupines were not ordinary animals, and that they should not poke them. They enjoyed the rest of the tour, but they stayed away from the porcupines. They told their teacher and their friends what had happened, and they all agreed that poking porcupines was a bad idea. +Tom likes fish. He likes to look at fish in the pond. He likes to feed fish with bread. He likes to draw fish with crayons. One day, he wants to send a fish to his friend Lily. He thinks Lily likes fish too. + +He finds a big fish in the pond. He catches the fish with his net. He puts the fish in a box. He writes "To Lily" on the box. He gives the box to his mom. He says, "Mom, please send this fish to Lily. She will be happy." + +Mom looks at the box. She sees the fish. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, you can't send a fish in a box. The fish will die. The fish needs water and air. The fish is not a toy. The fish is a living thing. You have to let the fish go." + +Tom is sad. He does not want to let the fish go. He says, "But I want to share my fish with Lily. She will like my fish. She will play with my fish. She will draw my fish." + +Mom says, "I know you want to share, but this is not the way. You can share your fish in other ways. You can take a picture of your fish and send it to Lily. You can make a fish out of paper and send it to Lily. You can tell Lily a story about your fish. But you have to let the fish go back to the pond. The fish will be happy there. The fish will swim and eat and breathe. The fish will be free." + +Tom thinks for a while. He says, "Okay, Mom. I will let the fish go. I will send Lily something else. I will send her a slow snail. She will like a slow snail." Mom smiles and shakes her head. She says, "Let's talk about that later." She helps Tom open the box and release the fish. The fish jumps into the water and swims away. Tom waves goodbye to the fish. He says, "Bye, fish. Thank you for being my friend. I hope you meet Lily someday." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a big hole in the fence of their backyard. They crawled through the hole and saw a jungle. The jungle had many trees, flowers, and animals. Tom and Lily were curious and wanted to see more. + +"Let's go in the jungle!" Tom said. + +"OK, but we have to be careful," Lily said. + +They walked into the jungle, holding hands. They saw a monkey, a parrot, and a snake. They also saw a big cave. It was dark and gloomy inside. + +"Let's go in the cave!" Tom said. + +"No, it looks scary," Lily said. + +"Don't be a baby, it will be fun," Tom said. + +He let go of Lily's hand and ran into the cave. Lily was scared and sad. She waited for Tom to come back, but he did not. She heard a loud roar from the cave. She was very scared and ran back to the hole in the fence. She cried and cried. + +Soon, Mom and Dad came home. They saw Lily crying and asked her what happened. Lily told them everything. They were very worried and angry. They ran to the jungle and looked for Tom. They heard the roar again and followed the sound. They found the cave and saw a big lion. The lion had Tom in his mouth. He was hurt and bleeding. + +Mom and Dad shouted and threw rocks at the lion. The lion dropped Tom and ran away. Mom and Dad picked up Tom and hugged him. They carried him back to the house and called a doctor. The doctor came and fixed Tom's wounds. He said Tom would be OK, but he had to rest and take medicine. + +Tom was sorry and ashamed. He said sorry to Lily, Mom, and Dad. He said he was wrong to go in the cave and not listen to Lily. He said he learned his lesson and would never do it again. + +Lily forgave Tom and hugged him. She said she was glad he was OK. She said she loved him and would always be his sister. + +Mom and Dad were happy and proud. They said they loved Tom and Lily and would always be their parents. They said they were glad Tom learned his lesson and hoped he would be more careful and respectful. They said they would fix the hole in the fence and keep the jungle away. + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the value of listening to others, being careful, and respecting nature. It also shows the importance of family and forgiveness. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a recorder. A recorder was a thing that could make sounds and keep them. They could talk or sing into the recorder, and then listen to it again. + +One day, they decided to record a song for their mom. They took the recorder and went to their room. They sang a song they learned at school. It was a song about love and kindness. They sang very well and were happy. + +But then, they saw a large line on the recorder. It was a line that showed how much space was left. The line was very small. That meant there was no more space to record. They were sad. They wanted to record more songs for their mom. + +They looked at their toys. They had many toys that made sounds. They had a drum, a whistle, a bell, and a horn. They thought they could record those sounds too. They thought their mom would like that. + +They took the toys and started to make loud noises. They blew the whistle, banged the drum, rang the bell, and honked the horn. They did not care if they were too loud. They did not care if they hurt their ears. They did not care if they bothered anyone. They just wanted to fill the recorder with sounds. + +But then, they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She looked angry and tired. She said, "What are you doing? You are making too much noise. You are disturbing the neighbors. You are not being nice. You are not being respectful. You are not being good children." + +Ben and Lily felt ashamed. They realized they were wrong. They apologized to their mom. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to record a song for you. But we ran out of space. So we tried to record other sounds. But we were not thinking. We were not listening. We were not caring. We are sorry." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I appreciate your gift, but you don't need to record anything for me. I love you just the way you are. You don't need to make loud noises to show me your love. You just need to be yourself. You just need to be kind, respectful, and good. That is the best song you can sing for me." + +Ben and Lily learned their lesson. They learned that recording is not as important as being. They learned that love is not about noise, but about silence. They learned that less is more. They learned that simple is better. +Lily was a girl who liked to play in the park. She had a red ball that she threw and caught. One day, she saw a small brown animal with a big fluffy tail. It was a squirrel. Lily wanted to be friends with the squirrel. + +She threw her ball near the squirrel and said, "Hi, I am Lily. What is your name?" The squirrel looked at her and ran away. Lily was sad. She tried again and again, but the squirrel was scared of her. Lily wondered why the squirrel did not want to play. + +Then she saw a big man with a net. He was trying to catch the squirrel. He wanted to take the squirrel away from the park. Lily did not like that. She ran to the squirrel and said, "Don't be afraid. I will help you. Come with me." The squirrel saw the big man and the net. He was very afraid. He decided to trust Lily. He jumped on her shoulder and held on to her hair. + +Lily ran away from the big man. She took the squirrel to a big tree. She said, "This is your home. You can be safe here. I am sorry I scared you before. I just wanted to introduce myself and be your friend. You are a very nice squirrel." The squirrel felt sorry for being rude to Lily. He said, "Thank you for saving me. You are a very brave girl. I am sorry I ran away from you. I just wanted to be safe. My name is Nuts. You can be my friend." Lily smiled. She said, "I am happy to be your friend, Nuts. You can play with my ball if you want." Nuts smiled. He said, "I would like that. You are a very kind girl." They played together until it was time to go home. Lily said goodbye to Nuts and gave him a hug. Nuts said goodbye to Lily and gave her a nut. They promised to see each other again. Lily and Nuts were happy. They had made a new friend. +Tom and Sue were playing in the old house. They liked to explore the rooms and find old things. But they did not like the cobwebs. They were sticky and scary. + +"Look, Tom, there is a big cobweb on the ceiling!" Sue said. "It has a spider in it!" + +"Yuck!" Tom said. "I don't like spiders. They have too many legs." + +Tom picked up a broom and tried to remove the cobweb. He reached up and swung the broom. But he missed the cobweb and hit a lamp. The lamp fell down and broke. + +"Tom, what did you do?" Sue said. "You made a mess!" + +"I'm sorry, Sue. I was trying to remove the cobweb. But the broom was too heavy." Tom said. + +"Let's go, Tom. We have to get out of here. Someone might hear us." Sue said. + +They ran out of the old house and back to their home. They were glad they did not get caught. But they were not glad they broke the lamp. They hoped no one would find out. +Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play at the park. One day, they saw a big slide. They wanted to go on the slide. + +But there was a long line of kids waiting for the slide. Sara and Tom had to wait too. They were not happy. They wanted to go fast. + +"Can we go now?" Tom asked Sara. + +"No, we have to wait for our turn," Sara said. "Mom said we have to be quiet and polite." + +Tom did not like to be quiet and polite. He liked to be loud and fun. He saw a gap in the line. He ran to the gap. He tried to go on the slide. + +"Hey, no cutting!" a boy in the line shouted. He pushed Tom off the slide. Tom fell on the ground. He hurt his knee. He cried. + +Sara ran to Tom. She helped him up. She gave him a hug. She said sorry. + +"Are you okay?" Sara asked. + +Tom nodded. He wiped his tears. He said sorry too. + +"Let's wait for our turn," Sara said. "Maybe the slide will be more fun then." + +Tom agreed. He held Sara's hand. They went back to the line. They were quiet and polite. They waited for their turn. + +Soon, it was their turn. They went on the slide. They slid down fast. They laughed. They had fun. + +They learned a lesson. They learned to be quiet and polite. They learned to wait for their turn. They learned to be good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the sand. They liked to make castles and hills and tunnels. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They were having fun. + +But it was very hot and sunny. They felt thirsty and tired. They looked for water, but they only saw sand and rocks. They felt sad. + +"Where is the water?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe we can find an oasis." + +"What is an oasis?" Lily asked. + +"An oasis is a place with water and trees and grass in the desert," Ben said. "Like in the stories." + +"Wow, that sounds nice," Lily said. "Let's look for one." + +They walked and walked, but they did not see any oasis. They saw a big rock with a hole in it. They went inside the hole. It was dark and cool. + +"Maybe this is a hidden oasis," Ben said. He joked to make Lily laugh. + +But when they looked around, they saw something amazing. There was a small pool of water and some plants and flowers. There were also some birds and bugs. It was a real oasis! + +"Wow, you were right, Ben!" Lily said. "This is an oasis!" + +They drank some water and ate some berries. They played with the birds and bugs. They felt happy. + +They had found a hidden oasis in the desert. They had a great adventure. They smiled and hugged. They were best friends. +Sara and Tom were playing with their toy boats in the bathtub. They liked to pretend they were in the navy and had big missions. Sara had a red boat and Tom had a blue boat. + +"Look, my boat is faster than yours!" Tom said, making his boat zoom across the water. + +"No, mine is faster!" Sara said, trying to catch up with him. + +They splashed and laughed, until Sara saw something shiny on the edge of the tub. It was a pair of scissors that Mom had left there. + +"Wow, what is that?" Sara asked, reaching for the scissors. + +"Be careful, Sara, that is sharp!" Tom said, seeing the danger. + +But Sara did not listen. She grabbed the scissors and tried to cut the water. She thought it would be fun to make bubbles. But she did not know how to use the scissors. She cut her finger instead. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara cried, dropping the scissors and the boat. Blood came out of her finger and made the water red. + +Tom was scared. He saw the scissors and the boat lay on the floor. He saw Sara's finger and the blood. He started to cry too. + +"Mom, Mom, help!" Tom shouted, hoping Mom would hear him. + +But Mom did not hear him. She was in the kitchen, making dinner. She had turned on the radio and it was very loud. She did not know what had happened in the bathroom. She did not know that Sara and Tom were hurt and sad. She did not know that their game had a bad ending. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big box under a tree. It looked like a chest. They ran to the chest and opened it. Inside, they found many shiny things. They were happy. + +"Look, Lily, I found a necklace!" Tom said. He put it around his neck. + +"Wow, Tom, it is so pretty!" Lily said. She saw a ring. She put it on her finger. + +They did not recognize that the chest and the shiny things were not toys. They were very unusual. They belonged to a bad man. The bad man had stolen them from a store. He had hidden them in the park. He was looking for them. + +The bad man saw Lily and Tom. He was angry. He ran to them and shouted. + +"Hey, you little thieves! Give me back my stuff!" He grabbed the necklace from Tom and the ring from Lily. He pushed them to the ground. + +Lily and Tom were scared and hurt. They cried. They wished they had not opened the chest. They learned that they should not touch things that are not theirs. +Tom and Anna liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big metal car. The car was shiny and had four wheels and a horn. Tom and Anna liked to act like they were driving the car to different places. + +One day, they decided to drive the car to the park. They put on their hats and coats and got in the car. Tom was the driver and Anna was the passenger. They made noises with their mouths like the car was moving. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +They drove past the house, the store, the school, and the farm. They saw many things on the way. They saw a dog, a cat, a cow, a bird, and a tree. They waved and said hello to them. The dog barked, the cat meowed, the cow mooed, the bird sang, and the tree rustled. + +They finally reached the park. They parked the car and got out. They saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox, and a seesaw. They ran to the slide and climbed up. They slid down and laughed. They had so much fun. + +They played on the swing, the sandbox, and the seesaw too. They made new friends and shared their toys. They forgot about the car for a while. The car was still shiny and had four wheels and a horn. But it was not fun anymore. It was boring. Tom and Anna liked to play with other things better. They left the car in the park and went home with their mom. They said goodbye to the car and thanked it for the ride. They hoped someone else would find it and play with it. The end. +Jill was eager to see the fairy. She had heard that fairies came out at night, when the moon was bright and the stars were twinkling. She wanted to see their wings, their dresses, their magic. She begged her mom to let her stay up late, just for one night. + +"Please, mom, please!" she said. "I want to see the fairy!" + +"Okay, Jill, but only for one night," her mom said. "But you have to promise to go to bed right after. And don't go outside. Fairies are shy and they don't like noise." + +Jill nodded and smiled. She put on her pajamas and brushed her teeth. She climbed into her bed and waited for her mom to turn off the light. She looked out of her window and saw the moon and the stars. She hoped the fairy would come soon. + +She waited and waited. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She felt sleepy, but she tried to stay awake. She heard a soft sound, like a bell. She saw a flash of light, like a spark. She saw a tiny figure, like a doll. It was the fairy! + +She gasped and sat up. She wanted to say hello, but she remembered her mom's words. She stayed quiet and watched. The fairy flew closer to her window. She had pink wings, a blue dress, and a wand. She was beautiful. Jill felt happy and curious. + +The fairy saw Jill and smiled. She tapped her wand on the glass. She made a sign with her hand, like she wanted Jill to come. Jill felt excited and tempted. She wanted to go with the fairy, to see her world, to play with her. She forgot her mom's words. She got out of her bed and opened the window. + +"Hi, fairy!" she whispered. "I'm Jill. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The fairy nodded and took Jill's hand. She pulled her out of the window. Jill felt a rush of air and a tickle of magic. She flew with the fairy, higher and higher. She saw the trees, the houses, the sky. She felt free and happy. + +But then, something bad happened. The fairy changed. Her smile turned into a smirk. Her eyes turned into slits. Her wings turned into claws. She was not a fairy. She was a monster. + +She laughed and squeezed Jill's hand. She dragged her into the dark. She said, "I'm not your friend. I'm your dinner." + +Jill screamed and cried. She wanted to go back. She wanted her mom. She wanted her bed. But it was too late. The monster ate her up. And no one ever saw her again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Me first!" Anna says. She runs to the slide. She climbs up the ladder. + +"No, me first!" Ben says. He runs after Anna. He pokes her side. "Move, Anna!" + +Anna giggles. She pokes Ben back. "No, Ben! You wait!" + +They poke each other and laugh. They reach the top of the slide. They sit down. They hold hands. + +"Ready, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"Ready, Ben!" Anna says. + +They slide down together. They feel the wind in their hair. They feel the sun on their skin. They feel happy. + +They land on the ground. They hug each other. They smile. + +"That was fun!" Anna says. + +"That was sweet!" Ben says. + +They run to the slide again. They want to go on the slide again. They are friends. They like to play in the park. +Sara was a little girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. One morning, she wanted to make toast for breakfast. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bread. But she was not careful and she stumbled. She fell off the chair and hurt her knee. She started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. She saw Sara on the floor and the bread on the table. She hugged Sara and said, "Are you okay, my darling? What happened?" + +Sara sniffed and said, "I wanted to make toast for you, Mom. But I stumbled and fell. I'm sorry, Mom." + +Mom smiled and said, "That was very sweet of you, Sara. But you don't have to make toast for me. You are too little to use the toaster. It can be hot and dangerous. You can help me in other ways, like setting the table or washing the dishes. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I'm sorry I was not careful. I love you, Mom." + +Mom kissed Sara and said, "I love you too, Sara. You are a charming girl. Come on, let's make some toast together. But first, let me put a band-aid on your knee." + +Moral value: The story teaches that it is good to help others, but we should also be careful and safe. We should not do things that are too hard or risky for us. We should listen to our parents and learn from them. +Lily loved to squeeze her bathrobe. It was soft and warm and smelled like her mom. She liked to wear it after her bath and pretend she was a princess or a superhero. Sometimes she would squeeze it so hard that she would fall on the floor and giggle. + +One day, Lily saw a bottle of red sauce on the kitchen table. She was curious and wanted to try it. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. She opened it and smelled it. It smelled funny, but she wanted to taste it. She squeezed the bottle and some sauce came out on her finger. She licked her finger and felt a fire in her mouth. She screamed and dropped the bottle. The sauce spilled all over her bathrobe and the floor. + +Mom heard Lily scream and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily crying and the mess on the floor. She quickly grabbed Lily and gave her some water. She asked her what happened and Lily told her she squeezed the bottle and it was spicy. Mom hugged Lily and told her it was okay. She said the sauce was for grown-ups and it was very hot. She said she was sorry Lily got hurt and she would wash her bathrobe. She said she loved her and she was proud of her for trying new things. She said next time she should ask before she squeezed something. Lily nodded and said she was sorry too. She said she loved her mom and her bathrobe. She said she would never squeeze the red sauce again. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they fight over a toy car. Lila wants to play with it, but Ben says it is his. They yell and pull the car. They do not hear their mom call them for lunch. + +Mom is angry. She enters their room and sees them fighting. She takes the car away and says, "No lunch for you. You are deaf to me. You only listen to yourselves. You need to learn to share and be kind." + +Lila and Ben are sad. They sit on their beds and cry. They are hungry and sorry. They say to each other, "I am sorry. I was mean. You can play with the car. I love you." + +They hug and make up. They go to mom and say, "We are sorry. We were deaf to you. We will listen to you. We will share and be kind. We love you." + +Mom is happy. She smiles and says, "I am glad. I love you too. You can have lunch now. But remember, being deaf is not good. You need to hear and respect others." + +Lila and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mom. We will. Thank you." + +They have lunch and play with the car together. They are not deaf anymore. They are good twins. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a blue car that they could ride in the yard. They liked to pretend they were going on adventures in the car, like to the zoo or the beach. + +One day, their mom said they could watch a movie after lunch. She said it was a special movie about cars and trucks and planes. Lily and Ben were very excited. They ate their lunch quickly and ran to the couch. They asked their mom to put on the movie. + +But before the movie started, their mom said they had to nap first. She said the movie was long and they would be tired if they did not nap. Lily and Ben did not want to nap. They wanted to watch the movie. They said they were not sleepy. They said they would stay awake. + +Their mom said they had to try to nap. She said she would wake them up when the movie was ready. She said she had a surprise for them. She took them to their room and tucked them in. She gave them each a kiss and left. + +Lily and Ben tried to stay awake. They talked to each other and made noises. They kicked their blankets and tossed their pillows. But soon, their eyes became heavy and they fell asleep. + +They did not know how long they slept, but they woke up to their mom's voice. She said it was time to watch the movie. She said she had the surprise for them. She took them to the living room and showed them. It was a big blue car, just like their toy car, but bigger. It had wheels and doors and seats and a horn. It was a real car! + +Lily and Ben were amazed. They hugged their mom and thanked her. She said it was a gift from their dad, who was away on a trip. She said he wanted them to have fun with the car. She said they could watch the movie in the car, like at a drive-in. She said they could pretend they were going on adventures in the car, like to the zoo or the beach. + +Lily and Ben were very happy. They climbed into the car and buckled their seatbelts. They turned on the radio and honked the horn. They watched the movie and laughed and cheered. They had the best nap and the best movie ever. They loved their blue car. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to do everything together. They are very competitive. They want to be the best at everything. + +One day, they go to a hotel with their mom and dad. The hotel is big and has many rooms. Ben and Mia want to explore the hotel. They see a sign that says "Learn to swim". They think swimming is fun and want to learn. + +They ask their mom and dad if they can go to the pool. Their mom and dad say yes, but they have to wear swim suits and follow the rules. They also have to listen to the teacher. + +Ben and Mia put on their swim suits and go to the pool. The teacher is nice and shows them how to swim. Ben and Mia try to copy the teacher. They kick their legs and move their arms. They splash the water and make bubbles. + +They also try to swim faster than each other. They race from one end of the pool to the other. They say "I'm faster than you!" and "No, I'm faster than you!" They have fun, but they also get tired. + +The teacher tells them to stop and rest. He says "You are both good swimmers, but you don't have to compete all the time. Swimming is also about having fun and being safe. You can learn from each other and help each other." + +Ben and Mia look at each other and nod. They say "Sorry, teacher. We will be nice and share." They hug each other and smile. They learn to swim and to be friends. +Tommy was hungry. He wanted to eat his lunch. Mommy gave him a plate with some bread, cheese and apple. She also gave him a fork. Tommy liked forks. He could poke his food with them. + +"Be careful with the fork, Tommy," Mommy said. "Don't bite it. It can hurt your teeth." + +Tommy nodded. He knew forks were not for biting. He used the fork to cut a piece of bread. He put it in his mouth and chewed. It was yummy. He smiled at Mommy. + +Then he saw something shiny on the table. It was a spoon. Tommy liked spoons too. He reached for it. He wanted to play with it. + +"Tommy, no!" Mommy said. "That's not your spoon. That's Daddy's spoon. He needs it for his soup." + +Tommy did not listen. He grabbed the spoon and put it in his mouth. He bit it hard. It was not yummy. It was cold and hard and bitter. It made his teeth hurt. He cried. + +Mommy took the spoon from him. She hugged him and kissed his cheek. She gave him a glass of water to drink. + +"I'm sorry, Tommy," Mommy said. "You should not bite spoons. They are not for biting. They are for scooping. Only bite food, okay?" + +Tommy nodded. He was sorry too. He did not want to bite spoons anymore. He wanted to eat his lunch. He picked up his fork again. He used it to poke a piece of cheese. He put it in his mouth and chewed. It was yummy. He smiled at Mommy. + +Mommy smiled back. She was happy. Tommy was a good boy. He learned his lesson. He ate his lunch with his ordinary fork. He did not bite it. He did not bite anything else. He was full and happy. He said thank you to Mommy. Mommy said you're welcome. She loved him very much. +Tim was very sad. He had a test at school today, but he did not know the answers. He tried to guess, but he was afraid he was wrong. He did not like tests. They made him feel stupid and scared. + +When he came home, he saw his mom waiting for him. She smiled and hugged him. "How was your day, Tim?" she asked. + +Tim did not smile back. He felt a big lump in his throat. He wanted to tell his mom about the test, but he was ashamed. He thought she would be angry or disappointed. He looked down and said nothing. + +His mom knew something was wrong. She took his hand and led him to the couch. She sat next to him and stroked his hair. "Tim, you can tell me anything. I love you no matter what. Did something happen at school?" + +Tim could not hold back his tears anymore. He wept and wept. He told his mom about the test and how he did not know the answers. He said he was sorry and he wanted to be smart. + +His mom hugged him and kissed his cheek. She said, "Tim, you are smart. You are brave. You are kind. Tests are not the only way to show what you know and what you can do. Sometimes they are hard and confusing. Sometimes you need more time or help to learn. That's okay. You can always try again and do better. I'm proud of you for doing your best. And I'm happy that you shared your feelings with me. That's very important." + +Tim felt a little better. He wiped his eyes and sniffed. He looked at his mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. Can we read a book together?" + +His mom smiled and nodded. She picked up a book from the shelf and opened it. She read to Tim in a soft voice. Tim listened and followed the pictures. He felt warm and safe. He forgot about the test and the gloomy day. He was glad he had his mom. +Ben and Lily were playing in the sand. They had a bucket and a shovel. They wanted to make a big castle. They dug and piled and shaped the sand. + +"Look, our castle is mighty!" Ben said. "It is bigger than us!" + +"Yes, it is!" Lily agreed. "But we need a flag. What can we use?" + +Ben looked around. He saw a stick. He ran and picked it up. He came back to the castle. He stuck the stick in the top. + +"There, now we have a flag!" he said. + +But the stick was not a stick. It was a bone. It belonged to a person. The person was buried under the sand. The person was very old and very sad. He had been there for a long time. He had no friends and no family. He had died alone. + +The bone moved. It made a sound. It said, "Who are you? What are you doing?" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped the bucket and the shovel. They ran away from the castle. They ran to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there is a person in the sand!" they cried. "He has a bone for a flag!" + +Their mom was surprised. She followed them to the castle. She saw the bone. She heard the sound. She understood. + +She said, "Ben and Lily, this is not a person. This is a skeleton. A skeleton is what is left of a person when he is gone. This skeleton was once a person, but he is not anymore. He cannot hurt you or talk to you. He is just bones." + +Ben and Lily were curious. They asked, "Why is he here? Why is he buried?" + +Their mom said, "I don't know. Maybe he was lost. Maybe he had no home. Maybe he was sick. Maybe he was lonely. Maybe he had no one to love him or remember him. Maybe he was forgotten." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry for the skeleton. They said, "That is sad. We don't want him to be sad. We want him to be happy." + +Their mom smiled. She said, "That is very kind of you. How can you make him happy?" + +Ben and Lily thought. They said, "We can be his friends. We can make him a new flag. We can give him a name. We can say hello to him every time we come here. We can remember him." + +Their mom hugged them. She said, "That is a wonderful idea. That is a very good thing to do. You are very good children. You have learned a very important lesson. You have learned to care for others, even those who are different from you. You have learned to respect the past, even those who are gone. You have learned to be grateful for what you have, even those who have nothing. You have learned to be mighty, not with sand, but with love." +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big swing. It was very high and looked fun. + +"Let's try it!" Tom said. He ran to the swing and jumped on it. He pushed with his legs and swung back and forth. He felt like a bird. + +"Me too!" Lily said. She followed Tom and got on the other swing. She tried to swing like Tom, but she was scared. She held on tight and did not push. + +Tom saw Lily and laughed. "You are not swinging, you are hanging!" he said. He swung higher and higher. He wanted to show Lily how brave he was. + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to swing like Tom, but she did not know how. She wished Tom would help her. She looked at Tom and said, "Can you teach me how to swing?" + +Tom heard Lily and stopped swinging. He looked at her and smiled. He was a good friend. He got off his swing and walked to Lily. He said, "Sure, I can teach you. It is easy and fun. You just have to push with your legs and let go a little." + +He held Lily's swing and pushed her gently. He told her when to push and when to let go. Lily listened and tried. She felt the swing move faster and faster. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She felt like a bird too. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lily said. She laughed and swung with Tom. They swung together and had a great time. + +They were happy. They had a successful visit to the park. They learned how to swing and how to help each other. They were friends. +Lily and Tom were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses with the blocks. The blocks had different shapes and colors. Some were round, some were square, some were smooth, some were rough. + +"Look at my tower!" Lily said. "It is very tall and smooth. I used all the square blocks." + +Tom looked at Lily's tower. He felt jealous. He wanted to have the smooth square blocks too. He had only round and rough blocks. He thought of a plan. + +"Can I see your tower?" Tom asked. "It looks very nice." + +Lily smiled. She was proud of her tower. She moved closer to Tom and showed him her tower. + +Tom pretended to admire the tower. But he was really waiting for a chance to catch the smooth square blocks. When Lily was not looking, he grabbed some of the blocks and ran away. + +"Hey!" Lily shouted. "Give me back my blocks! That is not fair!" + +Lily chased Tom around the room. She was angry and sad. She wanted her blocks back. She worked hard to build her tower. + +Tom ran faster and faster. He thought he was clever. He had the smooth square blocks now. He did not care about Lily's feelings. + +But Tom did not see the rug on the floor. He tripped over the rug and fell down. The blocks flew out of his hands and scattered everywhere. + +"Ouch!" Tom cried. "That hurts!" + +Lily caught up with Tom. She saw him lying on the floor. She saw the blocks all over the place. She felt sorry for Tom. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asked. "Do you need help?" + +Tom looked at Lily. He felt ashamed. He knew he was wrong. He took Lily's blocks without asking. He made her unhappy. He was not a good friend. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I was mean to you. I should not have taken your blocks. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily nodded. She was glad that Tom said sorry. She forgave him. She helped him get up. She picked up the blocks and gave them back to him. + +"Thank you, Lily," Tom said. "You are a good friend. Can we share the blocks and play together?" + +Lily smiled. She agreed. She liked to share and play with Tom. They hugged and went back to their blocks. They built a new tower together. It was bigger and better than before. It had round and square blocks, smooth and rough blocks. It had different colors and shapes. + +They learned a lesson. They learned that catching is not always fun. They learned that sharing is more fun. They learned that being a good friend is the best. +Tom and his aunt go to the park. Tom likes to play on the swings and the slide. His aunt sits on a bench and watches him. She smiles and claps when he does something fun. + +"Look, aunt, I can go very high on the swing!" Tom says.

That is a very useful idea. You can have fun and bathe at the same time. But you still have to wash your hair and your body, okay?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will wash myself and my duck. And my boat, too. It is dirty from the lake." + +His mom helped him wash his hair and his body. She gave him a towel and a hug.

You just made me curious. Why did you think I was from another world?" the elderly lady asked. + +"Because you have a big hat and a long coat. And you look very different," Tom said. + +The elderly lady smiled and said, "Well, I like to wear a big hat and a long coat. They keep me warm and cozy. And I look different because I'm old. But I'm still a human being, just like you. And I love my son, just like your parents love you." + +Tom and Anna felt sorry for judging the elderly lady by her appearance.

"That is very kind of you, but you don't have to do that," he said. "The boot is not very expensive and I have enough money to pay for it. But you can give Spot a hug and a treat if you want. He likes that." + +Lily and Tom hugged Spot and gave him a biscuit from their backpack. Spot wagged his tail and licked their faces again. He made a happy sound. + +"Thank you, kids," the man said.

She loved the bush very much and took care of it every day. + +One morning, the lady was preparing to sell her things to the people of the village. Suddenly, a fierce wind blew through and knocked down the bush! She was very upset and cried out in frustration, "Oh no, who will buy my things now?" + +Just then, a little girl appeared. She looked up at the lady and said, "Don't worry. I can help." + +The little girl used her own magic to turn the bush into a stand. The lady was amazed! Now, she was able to sell her things to the people of the village. + +The little girl smiled, "You see, anything is possible when we work together." The lady thanked the little girl, and they both went on their way. +Once upon a time, there was a mighty mountain. Everyone was amazed at its beauty. + +At the bottom of the mountain there was a drain, sitting quietly. It seemed like nothing special. But one day, something surprising happened. + +A gush of water suddenly came out from the drain and flooded the valley below. Everyone was surprised. + +The valley started to become flooded and soon the water was high enough to reach the mountain. People were scared and didn't know what to do. + +But then something even more amazing happened. Suddenly the mountain started shaking and a big rock came down from the mountain and blocked the drain. Everyone was shocked by this mighty miracle and the flood stopped. + +The mountain had saved everyone from the flood. Everyone cheered and was so grateful to the mighty mountain. +Once upon a time there was a small village. All of the people living in this village were very happy. + +One day, a strange man visited the village. He asked them, "What do you hope for?". All the people began to talk at once. + +The strange man said, "I have something that will make you very glad. I have something very tasty!". + +The people were so excited that everyone wanted a taste. The strange man shared a piece of his special treat with everyone in the village. They were so happy! + +When the strange man left the village, he left the people with one important lesson. He said, "What you hope for is important. But it is also important to share what you have with others. Then everyone can be happy." +Once upon a time, there was a family who lived in a modern house. One day, the family went to a park and lay down in the sun. + +Suddenly, mommy spotted something shiny in the grass. It was a silver coin! Mommy smiled and said, “Oh, look what we found!†+ +The family quickly picked up the coin and admired it. Daddy said, “It's so shiny and modern! Let’s keep it forever!†So the family laid the silver coin down on the table in their living room. + +From that day, the silver coin stayed in the family’s house as a reminder of their special day at the park. +One day, Mum and Dad took their three-year-old daughter, Amy, to the mall. Amy was very excited and started running around the mall. She wanted to see everything. But then Amy got very nervous. Everywhere she looked, there were too many people. + +Mum and Dad saw how nervous Amy was getting. Dad told her it was ok. "Let's go get an ice cream and relax." + +On their way to the ice cream, Amy started to complain. She wanted to go to the toy store, but Mum said no and that made Amy more upset. + +Mum and Dad were patient with Amy and explained that she would be able to go to the toy store another day. But Amy kept complaining. + +Finally, they made it to the ice cream store. Amy forgot all about the complaining and smiled. She got a strawberry ice cream and the whole family ate together. Amy was happy and relaxed. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Jane. She was only three years old. She loved animals very much, so she decided to take a visit to a nearby stable. + +When she arrived, she was surprised to see how filthy it looked. There were cobwebs in the corners, and the hay was scattered all over the place. + +Suddenly, she heard a loud noise coming from inside. She crept closer and closer to the entrance. She peered inside and saw a wild pony. + +Jane said hello, but the pony just kept prancing and snorting. Jane tried again, but there was still no reply. + +Then, Jane remembered her mommy's advice and said, "shhh, I'm just going to listen." + +The pony stopped and noticed Jane. As they listened to each other, the pony's eyes became gentle and friendly. Jane knew that she had found a special friend. + +The two of them talked and laughed until it was time to go home. Jane knew that she would never forget their special time together. +Once upon a time there was a little boy named Peter. Peter loved having fun and playing around. Every day he would run around outside and make funny faces at himself with his hands. One day he didn't have his hands for funny faces and he was wondering what he could do. + +Then he thought of getting a mustache. He ran to his mom and asked for a mustache. His mom told him, "Peter, if you want a mustache you have to become a grownup first!" Peter didn't understand what she meant, so he asked her to explain. + +His mom explained to Peter, "A mustache isn't something you can just have. You must first be fit and behave like a grownup. That is why you see grownups with mustaches, and not little kids like you." + +Peter thought about this and he knew his mom was right. If he wanted a mustache, he would have to become a grownup first! That would take some time, but it would be worth it. So he worked hard to become fit and follow his mom's advice. + +The moral of the story is this: If you want something, work hard and be patient. You will eventually get it! And when you do, it will be even more special since you earned it. +Once upon a time there was a brave lion who lived in a grassy land. The lion was a powerful king who loved to roar. He used his loud roar to make sure all the animals living near him were safe. + +One day the lion decided to go to the beach. He wanted to see the big waves and the salty ocean. As he walked closer to the water he heard a loud rumble. When he looked closer he saw the water was fierce, like a giant roar. It was a giant surf that was surging through the sand. + +The lion was scared and wanted to turn back, but then he heard a small voice. It was a tiny turtle who was stuck in the surf. He was dead and badly hurt from the water. + +The brave lion knew he had to help the little turtle. He rushed over to the turtle, picked him up and ran to the shore. He was able to save the little turtle before the waves hurt him even more. + +The little turtle thanked the lion for his bravery and the lion finally understood why his roar was important. It was to help protect all the animals around him. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Mia. One hot summer day, Mia was playing in the park with her stuffed animal. Suddenly, Mia heard a loud noise that sounded like a shoot. + +Mia was scared, so she hid behind a bush. Then, a brave hero appeared. He was shooting at the bad guys with a special gun and he was ready to save the world. Mia was so excited that she forgot about being scared. + +Mia ran up to the hero and yelled, "Thank you for saving me". The hero smiled and said, "You're welcome, little one". Mia smiled back and asked, "Can I help you shoot the bad guys?". + +The hero laughed and said "No, it's too hot and dangerous for a little girl like you. You stay here, and I'll take care of the bad guys". Mia agreed, and she watched the hero fight the bad guys. In the end, the brave hero won and the day was saved. Mia cheered and was so proud of her hero. +Alice and her mama were in the kitchen. Mama was making something special. + +"What are we making?" asked Alice. + +"A surprise. It's a mix of something special," said Mama, taking a package out of the cupboard. + +Alice looked at the package. It was weird! + +Mama dumped the mix into a bowl and stirred it up. Then she added some other ingredients and stirred it all together. + +"This looks yummy!" said Alice, tasting it. + +"Yes, it's almost ready," said Mama. "And then it'll be a surprise!" + +Alice couldn't wait to find out what the surprise was. She kept watching as Mama mixed and stirred and finally poured the mix into a pan. + +Mama put it into the oven and soon the house filled with a delicious smell. + +Alice couldn't wait for the surprise dish to come out of the oven. What was it going to be? +Once upon a time, there was a smart queen who lived in a big palace. She was very kind and took care of everyone in her kingdom. + +One day, the queen was walking in the garden when she heard something break. She looked around and saw a little girl hiding behind some bushes. + +The queen smiled and asked, "What are you doing here?" + +The little girl said, "I was playing with a ball and it broke." + +The queen was so smart, she knew exactly what to do. She said, "I have an idea to help you. Let's go find the king and he can help fix the ball." + +So the queen and the little girl went to the palace and told the king the problem. The king was very kind and said, "I can fix the ball for you. Don't worry, I can make it like new." + +The king fixed the ball, and the little girl was so happy. She thanked them and left. + +The queen was so proud of the king and his helpful actions that day. She knew that she had picked a very smart king to help her rule the kingdom. +Once upon a time, there were two friends called Tom and Jerry. Tom was fat and Jerry was thin. One day, they decided to play a game. + +Tom said, “Let’s see who can win!†+ +Jerry said, “But how?†+ +Tom smiled. He pointed at a wire on the ground and said, “Let’s race!†+ +So, they stood at either end of the wire and began running. Tom was faster than Jerry, but Jerry wouldn’t give up. He was determined to win. + +As they got closer to the end of the wire, Jerry shouted, “I am going to win!†And he did! Jerry was the winner. + +Tom smiled and said, “Good job, Jerry! You’re the winner!†+Once upon a time there were two pigs called Penelope and Moo. One day, Penelope stood in front of a giant mountain. She wanted to climb it so she turned to Moo and said: "Let's climb the mountain!" Moo replied: "That's a crazy idea, it's so big and scary!" Penelope laughed and said:"Nothing ventured, nothing gained!" and started to climb the mountain. She was amazed by the beautiful view from the top. But soon Moo's voice could be heard from down below: "Penelope, you're in danger!" Penelope realised that the mountain was indeed very steep and dangerous, and she had been very careless. She quickly made her way back down and both pigs were happy to be safe again. + +The moral of this story is that we should never take risks without thinking first and being aware of the potential dangers. Sometimes, it is much better to stand back and be careful, than to take a crazy risk without thinking. +Thomas was playing in the park when he spotted a bright marble on the ground. He picked it up and was surprised to feel that it was cold. He wondered how that could be, but he decided to keep it anyway. + +Thomas went home and showed his marble to his parents. They told him to be careful with it because it was special. He promised to take good care of it and hugged it close. + +That night, Thomas put the marble on his bedside table. He showed it to his teddy bear and said goodnight. He fell asleep dreaming about what adventures the marble could have. + +The next morning, Thomas reached over to get his marble but it was gone. He searched his bedroom but it had vanished. He asked his parents where it had gone, but they said they didn't know. Thomas sadly accepted that his marble was gone and wouldn't return. + +As Thomas got older, he remembered his special marble and the cold feeling it had. He always wondered what had happened to it, but it seemed to have vanished forever. +One day, Jack and his mom went to the beach. The bright sun was shining and the sea was calm. Jack was so excited that his mom couldn't help but smile. + +When they got to the shore, Jack ran straight into the water. His mom laughed and called after him, “Jack, be careful! There’s always a danger of the tide coming in.†+ +But Jack was too impatient. He kept running deeper into the water and didn’t listen. When his mom saw this, she quickly ran in after him. She took him by the hand and said, “Jack, stop! The tide is coming in quickly. It will be here in no time!†+ +Jack finally stopped running. He looked up at his mom with a guilty look, and she smiled and said, “Let’s go back to the shore, ok?†+ +He nodded sheepishly and allowed his mom to lead him back to shore. They were just in time, because the tide was rolling in moments later. + +Jack learned his lesson that day, and from then on always listened to his mom. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Anna. She was three years old. One day, Anna was playing outside when she saw a big box. + +"What's in there?" she asked. + +Her mommy said it was her lunch. Inside the box was a smelly sandwich. It smelled yummy. + +Anna wanted to try the sandwich, so she slipped her hand into the box. But then, something funny happened. The lunch with the smelly sandwich slid out the box and onto the ground. + +Anna gasped. "Oh no!" + +Mommy laughed. "Let's go get you another lunch, Anna," she said. + +So Anna and Mommy went inside and Anna enjoyed a new, delicious sandwich. +Once upon a time, there was a brave bear named Freddy who lived in the woods. He loved to explore the world, and so he decided to take a visit to the river. + +On his way to the river, Freddy heard a loud noise. He was scared and started to rush away, but he stopped and decided to be brave. He walked towards the sound and found a small bird caught in a trap! + +The bird was scared and said, "Please help me! I'm stuck!" Freddy was determined to help the bird, so he tried to open the trap, but it was too tight. He tried and tried, but nothing seemed to work. + +Just when Freddy was about to give up hope, a fox came into the clearing and said, "I know how to open this trap!" Freddy thanked the fox and was soon able to help the bird fly away. + +It was a happy ending! Freddy felt very proud of himself for being so brave and rushing to help the bird in need. +It was almost time for the festival. Everyone was very excited because it was a famous festival. + +Mummy and Daddy had to get ready for the festival. They put on their new clothes and then put some things in a bag.

One day they were walking together near a shimmering pond. + +The elephant said, "What smell is that?" He sniffed the air, trying to figure it out. + +The mouse said, "I think it's shampoo! It smells really nice." + +The elephant shook his huge head. "No," he said firmly. + +The two friends kept walking. Suddenly, the elephant stopped suddenly. In front of him was a huge mountain of shampoo! He had solved the mystery. + +The elephant smiled and said, "My friend, you are smart. You solved the mystery!" + +The mouse smiled too. He had learned a lesson: never give up when you are trying to figure something out. + +The two friends walked away, happy and content. +Ted and June were playing outside. With a big bucket full of water, they splashed each other. Ted loved the feeling of the cold water on his skin. + +But then they saw a judge walking by. The judge said: "You kids have to stop splashing! It's unacceptable behaviour!" +Ted and June were so thirsty and hungry that they didn't listen. They just kept splashing. + +The judge got very angry and said: "If you continue this, I will have to punish you!" + +But Ted and June were just so thirsty and hungry that they kept on splashing. The judge was so mad that he called the police. + +The police came and Ted and June were arrested. They were put in jail for being so naughty and disobedient. They were very hungry and thirsty, and there was no one to help them. + +The story ended with two sad kids in jail, feeling sad and hungry. +All the children were happy. They were out in the garden, running around, full of life. + +But suddenly one boy began to frown. He looked up at the night sky and saw the big round moon in the starry sky. + +His friends came running over and asked him why he was frowning. + +"I'm sad," he answered, pointing to the moon. "I wish I could reach up and grab it!" + +The other children laughed. + +"Don't worry," said one. "You can't grab the moon, but you can make yourself as lively as it!" + +The boy smiled and the children set off, running around the garden as lively as the moon. +Joey was walking through a park on a sunny day. He stopped and saw a little brown jacket on the ground. It was the perfect size for him. He hurriedly picked it up and tried it on. It fit perfectly. + +Joey showed his mom the jacket and asked, “Mommy, can I keep it?†+ +His mom smiled and said, “Honey, that’s very kind of you, but it’s not honest to keep something that doesn’t belong to us. We should wrap it up and give it back to the owner.†+ +Joey nodded and carefully wrapped the jacket up in a paper bag. Then, he and his mom went to the park to find the jacket’s owner. After looking around for a while, they eventually found the jacket’s owner. He was very happy to have it back. + +Joey smiled and said, “See, Mommy, being honest is the best thing to do!†+Kylie was playing with her dolls. She pretended to give them each a massage. She said "I'm going to give you a massage because I love you." + +Suddenly, her mom entered the room. She had a stern look on her face and said, "Kylie, you should be ashamed. You can't pretend to give the dolls massages." + +Kylie was embarrassed and wished the ground could swallow her up. She replied, "I'm sorry mom!" + +Kylie's mom said gently, "That's ok, just don't do it again." + +Kylie nodded and put the dolls away. She promised herself that she would never pretend to give them a massage again. +Once upon a time, there were two sisters named Lucy and Lola. They were getting ready to go to the swimming pool. Lucy was excited and started to put on her swimming suit. + +"Lola, add the towels in the bag," Lucy said. + +So Lola picked up the two towels - one was blue and the other one was green. But when she added both towels to the bag, it was so messy. + +"Oh no," Lola said. "It looks so messy." + +But Lucy had an idea. She said, "Let's wrap the towels around each other. That will help keep the bag from looking so messy." + +So Lola did what Lucy said and wrapped the towels together. She smiled and said, "That looks much better." + +The sisters smiled at each other, packed their things into the bag, and headed off to have an exciting day at the swimming pool. +Once upon a time, there was a man and a woman. They both wanted to find a job, so they went to the same place and met a person. The person said they could get jobs if they helped him. They both agreed and started working. + +After a few days, the man and woman realized that their new jobs weren't real. The man said, "This isn't a real job! We're being tricked!" The woman said, "Don't worry - we can still pretend to do the job until we can find a real one. We just have to be careful." + +The man and the woman kept trying to find a real job but the person kept giving them fake tasks. Despite their best efforts, their attempts failed. Meanwhile, the person kept asking them for more and more. + +Finally, the man and the woman had enough. They stopped what they were doing and told the person they wanted a real job. At first, it seemed like the person wouldn't listen. But eventually, the person agreed and said he would find real jobs for them. + +The man and woman were so happy and realized that together, they could achieve anything. From then on, they looked for real jobs and eventually found ones that were perfect for them. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Daisy.

She searched and searched, but couldn’t find any snowflake, no matter how hard she tried. + +Then, she spotted a beautiful snowflake, shimmering in the sunlight. Daisy gasped in delight as she reached out to pick it up. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the snowflake away, just out of her reach. + +Daisy was disappointed. She wanted the snowflake so badly, but the wind was making it hard to get. Daisy knew that she had to resist the wind, so she curled her toes in the snow for a better grip and put both of her hands in the air. She reached out to grab the snowflake, as the wind blew harder and harder. + +In the end, Daisy resisted the wind and caught the snowflake. She took a big breath of the cold winter air and smiled. Daisy was so proud of herself and the reward of the rare snowflake was even sweeter! +Once upon a time there was a light rainbow that was very magical. Two friends, Jack and Jill, were in the forest looking for it. They looked for a number of days but found nothing. + +One morning, Jack and Jill heard the rainbow making a soft noise. They looked up, and there it was! The light rainbow was shining brightly. + +"We found it!" Jack shouted with excitement. + +But before they could take any closer, there was an unexpected noise. "You can't touch it! It belongs to me," said a deep voice. + +The deep voice belonged to a wizard. The wizard had been watching them for days. He told Jack and Jill that the rainbow had special powers and only he could touch it. + +Jack and Jill felt dejected but remembered that if they set out on this rainbow adventure, they would find a way to touch it. They made a plan to team up with the wizard and share the magical powers of the rainbow. + +The wizard accepted their offer and together they set out to explore the rainbow and number its magical powers. The trio found great success and together experienced even greater light. +Lucy hoped to draw an amazing picture with her crayons. She had two new purple ones that she wanted to use to make something special. She grabbed them excitedly and ran to the table. + +She found some paper and started to draw. She felt that this picture was especially important and she wanted to make sure it was perfect. + +As Lucy was finishing her work, her little brother came to the table. He saw the purple crayons and started to pick them up. He knew they belonged to Lucy and he wanted to take them, but Lucy quickly said "No!" + +Her brother refused to listen and snatched the crayons.

She wasn't scared of the tigers or monkeys. + +The little girl was so excited to explore. But she had forgotten to take her green velvet blanket with her! + +When it started to get dark, the little girl was sad. She was cold without her green velvet blanket.

"Yes I can, Mommy! I'm smart!" + +So Daisy took the hose and she watered the garden. When she was finished, Daisy did just what Mommy had asked and wound the hose up. + +"Good job, Daisy!" said Mommy. Daisy was very proud of herself. +One day, a bald man was taking a walk in the woods. All of a sudden, he heard an eerie sound coming from the trees.

He kept running until he reached his home, safe and sound. + +Little did he know that the thing he saw was a brave cat. All it wanted to do was take a nap behind the trees.

She was excited to see what was out there. +Jenny and her Mommy were walking in the park. Jenny was feeling jolly and pointing at the colourful trees. "Mommy, what is that?" she asked as she pointed towards a big rock. + +"That is a view," her Mommy said. She showed Jenny an example of what a view looks like. "Can you try and design one?" + +Jenny gave it a try, but it was too difficult for her. "Mommy, can you help me?" She asked. + +Her Mommy smiled. "I can show you, but you have to try your best first," she said. + +Jenny worked hard, but she couldn't seem to design a view. She felt upset and tired, but she kept trying. + +Suddenly, she had an idea! She moved all the rocks together, designing a more beautiful view than before. Now Jenny could see a jolly rainbow behind the rocks. + +"You did it Jenny!" said her Mommy, with a big smile on her face.

As she looked, she noticed it was very sharp. + +Suddenly Quack was scared that the saw might hurt her delicate feathers if it was used. So she decided to be safe and try to stay away from it. + +Quack had learned an important lesson. Sometimes it was better to try to stay away from things that were unknown and could be dangerous. +Once upon a time, there was a cute little rabbit called Ester. She loved to explore and every day she went on fun adventures. + +One day, as Ester was hopping even further away from her home, she happened across a giant sack, sitting alone in the grass. She hopped up to it and copied open the sack, eager to find out what was inside. + +To her surprise, the sack was full of colourful, shiny marbles.

You must leave now!" + +Ester was worried as the wolf stepped closer. She shouted, "No!" and quickly ran away. + +The wolf growled and stomped his foot. He destroyed the sack, scattering the marbles into the grass all around. + +Once the wolf had gone, Ester collected the marbles and put them all back in the sack, saving them so she could take them home with her. + +Back in her own home, Ester smiled. She was glad she had saved the marbles – it was a fun adventure after all. +Once upon a time, there was a group of friends. They found a pink screen and wanted to solve it.

They said, "Thank you for saving us!" + +The knight smiled and said, "You are welcome!" +Once upon a time there was a gray cat. The cat loved to blink in the sunshine and warm its fur.

The boy had big brown eyes and he was smiling. + +The boy said, "Hello, cat!" + +The cat blinked slowly. + +The boy said, "Can I pet you?" + +The cat blinked again. + +The boy slowly walked and gently pet the cat. The cat purred and nestled into the boy's hand. The boy smiled and said, "Thank you, Cat." + +The cat blinked one final time. Then, it jumped away and ran to the other side of the garden.

He looked around to make sure that everyone was ready to leave for their tour. His nosy little sister, Alice, was the last person to join in. She asked Matt many questions about their tour, but Matt patiently answered them all. + +Their first stop was the zoo. Alice was so excited and ran around to see all the animals. She was especially charmed by the monkeys, because they kept looking around nosily. She grinned and waved at them and they waved back. + +After the zoo, they went to the beach. Here, they were able to surrender to the warmth of the sun and take a nice little nap. When they woke up, they decided to relax and play some beach volleyball. Alice was running around having a blast! + +That was the end of their tour for the day. As they all got back into their car, Alice was so excited about all the things that she had seen and done, that she couldn't wait to tell everyone all about it. +Once there was a little girl named Angela.

One day, Angela and her mommy were walking in the park when Angela started to sneeze. + +"Oh, blessed," her mommy said.
