Don't you have any friends?" + +Billy says, "I don't need friends. I have toys. Lots of toys. My mommy and daddy buy me whatever I want. They love me more than anyone. You are just jealous." + +Tommy says, "I am not jealous. I have friends. They love me too. And they share their toys with me. You are being mean and selfish. You are spoiled." + +Billy says, "I don't care what you say. You are stupid and ugly. Go away or I will hit you." + +Tommy does not want to fight. He does not like to hurt people. He calls for help. He says, "Teacher, teacher, come here. Billy is being bad. He does not share his toys. He pushes and grabs and says mean things. He needs a time out." + +The teacher hears Tommy and comes to the gym. She sees Billy and his toys. She sees the other kids crying and scared. She says, "Billy, what are you doing? Why are you not sharing your toys? Why are you being rude and aggressive?

I hate everyone. I want my mommy and daddy." + +The teacher says, "Billy, stop it. You are making a big fuss. You are not being a good boy. You are spoiled. You need to learn how to play nicely with others. Come with me. We are going to the office. You are going to call your mommy and daddy and tell them what you did. Maybe they will teach you some manners." + +The teacher takes Billy by the hand and leads him to the office. Billy kicks and screams and cries. He does not want to call his mommy and daddy.

Mom asks. + +"Yes, Mom, we did," Tim says. "But we did not like the skunk. It was smelly and mean." + +Mom smiles. "I know, skunks are not very pleasant. But they have a special way of protecting themselves from danger. They spray a bad smell to scare away enemies. It is not nice, but it helps them survive." + +Kim thinks. "Maybe the skunk is not so mean. Maybe it is just scared. Maybe it can improve and be nicer." + +Tim nods. "Maybe you are right, Kim. Maybe we can learn more about the skunk and other animals. Maybe we can read the magazine again." + +Mom hugs them. "That's a good idea, Tim and Kim. You are very smart and curious. I'm proud of you." + +They eat their lunch and thank Mom.

I'm glad you are not badly hurt. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The iron is not a toy. It is a tool for grown-ups. You can help me with other chores, like folding the clothes or putting them away. But you have to ask me first. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I love you." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a thoughtful girl, but you have to be a smart girl too.

They are not selfish anymore. +Lily and Sam were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him two sticks for arms and a carrot for a nose. They looked for something to make his eyes and mouth. + +"Look, I found some rocks!" Sam said. He put two rocks on the snowman's face for eyes. + +"I found some buttons!" Lily said. She put four buttons on the snowman's face for a mouth. + +The snowman looked very happy. Lily and Sam smiled at him. + +"Let's imagine he can talk to us," Lily said. "What do you think he would say?" + +Sam thought for a moment. He made his voice sound low and funny. + +"Hello, Lily and Sam. Thank you for making me. You are very nice. I like my hat and scarf. They keep me warm." + +Lily giggled. She made her voice sound high and sweet. + +"You're welcome, Mr. Snowman. We like you too. You are very handsome. We like your carrot nose. It makes you look funny." + +The snowman seemed to nod. Lily and Sam laughed. + +They played with the snowman for a long time. They sang songs and told jokes. They had a lot of fun. + +But then the sun came out. It was getting warmer. The snow started to melt. + +"Oh no, Mr. Snowman!" Lily cried. "You are getting smaller. You are going to disappear." + +Sam looked sad. He hugged the snowman. + +"Don't worry, Mr. Snowman. We will always remember you. You are our friend." + +The snowman smiled. He whispered in their ears. + +"Thank you, Lily and Sam. You are my friends too. I had a wonderful time with you. Don't be sad. I will always be in your hearts." + +Lily and Sam felt a tear roll down their cheeks. They kissed the snowman goodbye. + +They took off their mittens and put them on the snowman's stick arms. + +"Here, Mr. Snowman. These are for you. They are very soft and warm. They will keep your hands cozy." + +The snowman thanked them. He held their mittens gently. He knew they were fragile. + +Lily and Sam waved to the snowman. They walked back to their house. + +They looked back at the snowman. He was still smiling. + +They smiled too. They knew they would always imagine him. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they disagree. One day, they want to play different games. Tom wants to play with cars and trucks. Lily wants to play with dolls and tea sets. + +They start to argue. Tom says, "Cars are fun. Dolls are boring." Lily says, "Dolls are nice. Cars are noisy." They get angry and sad. They do not want to share or take turns. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She says, "Why are you fighting? You can play with both cars and dolls. Or you can play something else. There are many games to choose from." + +Tom and Lily do not listen. They say, "No, we want to play our own games. We do not like the other games." They turn away from each other and cross their arms. + +Mom sighs. She says, "Okay, then. If you do not want to play together, you can play alone. But you have to stay in your room until you are ready to be nice. You can march to your room now." + +Tom and Lily do not like this. They do not want to play alone. They do not want to stay in their room. They want to play with Mom. But they are too stubborn to say sorry. They march to their room, stomping their feet. + +They sit on their beds, playing with their own toys. But they soon find out that it is not fun. It is boring. They miss each other. They miss Mom. They wish they did not disagree. They wish they could play together again. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and she made original pictures of her family, her pets and her dreams. She drew on paper that she put on her desk in her room. + +One day, she wanted to draw a big sun with yellow and orange. She looked for her crayons, but she could not find them. She saw her brother Sam playing with them in the living room. He was breaking them and throwing them on the floor. + +Lily was angry and sad. She ran to Sam and tried to take her crayons back. But Sam did not want to share. He pushed Lily away and said, "Go away, these are mine!" + +Lily fell on the floor and hurt her knee. She cried and cried. She saw a piece of crayon that Sam had broken. It was sharp and pointy. She had an idea. She picked it up and ran to her desk. + +She used the sharp crayon to draw on her desk. She made a big sun with yellow and orange. She also made stars and clouds and rainbows. She was happy and proud. She did not need Sam's crayons anymore. + +But then, she heard her mom coming. She looked at her desk and saw that she had made a big mess. She had scratched the wood and left marks everywhere. She knew her mom would be angry and sad. She felt sorry and scared. She wished she had not used the sharp crayon on her desk. She wished she had asked Sam nicely for her crayons. She wished she had drawn on paper instead. She learned a lesson. She hoped her mom would forgive her. +Ben loves dolphins. He likes to watch them on TV and in books. He wants to see them in real life. He asks his mom and dad to take him to the sea park. They say yes and they go in the car. + +At the sea park, Ben is very happy. He sees many dolphins in the water. They jump and splash and make noises. Ben claps and laughs. He wants to talk to them. He remembers that he learned some signs at school. He thinks that maybe the dolphins can understand signs too. + +He goes to the edge of the pool. He waves his hand at a dolphin. The dolphin comes closer. Ben makes a sign for hello. The dolphin nods its head. Ben is excited. He makes more signs for different things. The dolphin nods or shakes its head. They have a conversation. + +But then, a loud noise scares the dolphin. It is a man with a big camera. He wants to take a picture of Ben and the dolphin. He flashes his light at them.

They packed their bags and got in the car. + +On the way, they saw a big sign that said "Safari Park". Dad drove through the gate and followed the road. They saw many animals. Some were big and some were small. Some were loud and some were quiet. + +"Look, there's a giraffe!" Mia said, pointing to a tall animal with a long neck and spots. + +"Wow, it's so high!" Tim said, looking up. + +They drove on and saw more animals. They saw monkeys swinging from trees, hippos splashing in water, and rhinos grazing on grass. + +"Look, there's a lion!" Tim said, spotting a yellow animal with a mane and a tail. + +"Wow, it's so strong!" Mia said, admiring its muscles. + +They drove closer and saw that the lion was not alone.

Mia asked, feeling scared. + +"They are fighting," Dad said, slowing down the car. "They are fighting for the territory. They want to be the boss of this place." + +"Who will win?" Tim asked, feeling curious. + +"I don't know," Dad said, watching the lions. "They are both very brave and powerful. But they might get hurt. Fighting is not good." + +Tim and Mia nodded. They did not like fighting. They liked being friends. They hugged each other and said, "We are glad we have each other. We are dependable. We always help and share and care." + +Dad smiled and said, "That's right. You are dependable. You are the best kids ever. I love you." + +He drove on and they saw more animals. They saw ostriches running fast, crocodiles lying still, and flamingos standing on one leg. They had a lot of fun on their safari. They learned a lot about animals. They also learned that being dependable is better than fighting. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a ball and Ben had a car. They liked to roll them on the floor and make noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Ben said. + +"Boing, boing, my ball is bouncy!" Lily said. + +They were having fun, but then they saw a candle on the table. It was big and red and smelled nice. They wanted to see it better. + +"Let's go look at the candle!" Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Ben said. + +They walked to the table and climbed on the chairs. They looked at the candle and saw the flame. It was bright and warm and danced in the air. + +"Wow, the candle is pretty!" Lily said. + +"Yeah, and it smells good too!" Ben said. + +They leaned closer to the candle and tried to touch it. But then their mom came into the room and saw them. + +"Stop, stop, don't touch the candle!" Mom said. "It's hot and it can hurt you!" + +She ran to the table and took the candle away. She put it on a high shelf where they couldn't reach it. She was angry and scared. + +"Lily and Ben, you were very naughty!" Mom said. "You could have burned yourselves or started a fire! You should never play with candles!" + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and sad. They knew they did something bad. They looked at their mom and said: + +"We're sorry, Mom. We didn't know. We just wanted to see the candle." + +Mom sighed and hugged them. She was still angry, but she loved them. + +"I know, I know. But you have to be careful and listen to me. Candles are not toys. They are for grown-ups only. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said: + +"Yes, Mom. We understand. We won't play with candles again." + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She was thoughtful and kind. + +"OK, good. Now, why don't you go back to your toys and play nicely? And maybe later we can have some cake and blow out a candle together. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben smiled and said: + +"Yay, cake and candle! Thank you, Mom!" + +They ran back to their toys and rolled them on the floor. They were happy and safe. They learned a lesson and loved their mom. +Lily and Tom were playing in the yard. They liked to jump in the big pile of leaves that dad had made with the rake. The leaves were red and yellow and brown and they made a crunchy sound. + +"Look, Lily, I found a shiny coin in the leaves!" Tom said, holding up a penny. "I gained a coin today!" + +"Wow, Tom, that's lucky!" Lily said. "Can I see it?" + +Tom gave Lily the coin and she looked at it. It had a man's face on one side and a house on the other. She wondered what it was for. + +"Maybe you can buy something with it," Lily said. "Like a candy or a toy." + +Tom nodded. He liked candy and toys. He put the coin in his pocket and smiled. + +"Thank you, Lily, for sharing the leaves with me," Tom said. "You are a good sister. I am grateful for you." + +Lily hugged Tom and smiled back. She was grateful for him too. They were happy to play together. + +They heard dad calling them from the house. It was time for lunch. They ran to the house, holding hands. They left the rake and the leaves behind, but they took the coin and their love with them. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and find stones. They had a big pile of stones that they washed with water from the hose. They wanted to make a castle with the stones, but they were too wet. + +"Let's dry the stones in the sun," Ben said. He put some stones on a towel and laid them on the grass. "Then we can build our castle." + +Lily nodded. She did the same with her stones. They waited for a while, but the stones were still wet. + +"This is stupid," Lily said. "The sun is not drying the stones. They are still cold and wet." + +Ben looked at the sky. He saw some clouds. He had an idea. + +"Maybe the clouds can dry the stones," he said. He picked up a stone and threw it in the air. "Go, stone, go to the clouds and get dry!" + +Lily laughed. She threw a stone too. "Bye, stone, have fun in the clouds!" + +They threw more stones, trying to reach the clouds. They did not see that some of the stones fell back on the ground, or on the roof, or on the fence. + +Soon, they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you two, stop throwing stones!" It was their dad. He was angry. He had seen the stones hitting his car and his window. "That's very naughty and dangerous. You could hurt someone or break something. Come here right now!" + +Ben and Lily stopped throwing stones. They looked at their dad. They felt bad. They did not mean to be naughty or dangerous. They just wanted to dry their stones. + +They ran to their dad and said they were sorry. They hugged him and promised not to throw stones again. + +Their dad hugged them back. He was not angry anymore. He said he loved them and he understood they were just playing. He said he would help them dry their stones and build their castle. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They were happy. They thanked their dad and followed him to the garden. They hoped the sun would dry their stones soon. They still wanted to make a castle. +Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Anna likes to brush Lily's hair and make her talk. + +One day, Anna sees a hole in Lily's skin.

She sees the hole in Lily's arm. She says, "Don't worry, Anna. I can fix Lily. I have some cloth and a needle. I can replace the skin with the cloth and sew it up. It will be like new." + +Mom takes Lily and Anna to the table. She finds some pink cloth and a needle. She cuts a piece of cloth and puts it over the hole. She sews the cloth to the skin with the needle. She makes small stitches and ties a knot. She says, "There, Lily is fixed. She has a new skin. Do you like it, Anna?" + +Anna looks at Lily. She sees the pink cloth on her arm. She touches it and smiles. She says, "Thank you, Mom. I like it. Lily likes it too. She says thank you too.

I will take care of her. I love her. She is my best friend." She hugs Lily and Mom. She takes Lily to her room and plays with her. She is happy. +Sara was a big girl who liked to learn new things. She wanted to be independent and do things by herself. One day, she saw a big, blue kite in the store. She asked her mom if she could have it. + +"Sure, you can have the kite, but you have to learn how to fly it," her mom said. + +Sara was excited. She took the kite home and waited for a windy day. She asked her mom to help her tie the string and find a good spot. Her mom took her to the park, where there was a lot of space and a lot of sky. + +"Okay, Sara, are you ready to fly your kite?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, I'm ready!" Sara said. She held the string and ran as fast as she could. The kite lifted off the ground and soared in the air. Sara felt a tug on the string and smiled. She was flying a kite! + +"Good job, Sara, you're doing great!" her mom cheered. + +Sara felt proud and happy. She wanted to fly the kite higher and higher. She let go of some string and watched the kite go up. But then, she let go of too much string. The kite flew away from her and got stuck in a tree. + +"Oh no, mom, my kite!" Sara cried. + +Her mom ran to her and hugged her. "Don't worry, Sara, we'll get your kite back. Sometimes, things happen that we can't control. But you did a great job learning how to fly a kite. You're very independent and brave." + +Sara felt a little better. She looked at the sky and saw her kite still waving in the wind. She hoped it would come down soon. She learned a lot today, and she wanted to learn more. She loved her mom and her kite. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and learn new things. One day, their mom gives them a big bowl of fruit. She says, "This is a healthy snack. Can you name the fruits in the bowl?" + +Anna and Ben look at the bowl. They see red, yellow, green, and orange. They try to say the names of the fruits. Anna says, "Apple, banana, grape, and... and..." She does not know the last one. Ben says, "I know, I know! It is a carrot!" He picks up the orange fruit and bites it. + +But it is not a carrot. It is an orange. Ben makes a funny face. He spits out the orange. He says, "Yuck! This is not a carrot. This is sour and wet. I don't like it." + +Anna laughs. She says, "That is not a carrot, silly. That is an orange. You peel it first, then you eat it. It is sweet and juicy. I like it." She shows Ben how to peel the orange. She gives him a piece. Ben tries it again. He says, "Mmm, this is good. You are right, Anna. This is an orange. I like it too." + +Their mom smiles. She says, "Good job, Anna and Ben. You learned something new today. Fruits are amazing. They have different colors, shapes, and tastes. They are good for you. Do you want to try more fruits?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, please. We want to learn more. We love fruits. And we love you, mom." They hug their mom and share the bowl of fruit. They are happy. +Lily wanted to play soccer with her big brother Tom and his friends. But Tom said she was too small and slow. He said soccer was not for girls. Lily felt sad and angry. She thought Tom was not fair. + +She ran to her room and found her old soccer ball. She kicked it hard against the wall. She practiced her dribbling and shooting. She wanted to show Tom that she could play soccer too. She did not give up. + +The next day, Tom and his friends went to the park to play soccer. Lily followed them with her ball. She asked Tom if she could join them. Tom laughed and said no. He said she would only get in the way. He said she could watch from the side. + +Lily did not listen. She waited for her chance. When Tom had the ball, she ran up to him and took it from him. She dodged his friends and ran to the goal. She kicked the ball hard and scored. She shouted, "Goal!" + +Tom and his friends were shocked. Lily smiled and said, "See? I can play soccer too. I succeed!" Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "You're right, Lily. You're good at soccer. I'm sorry I was not fair. Do you want to play with us?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, but only if you share the ball and play nice." Tom agreed and hugged her. He said, "You're a great sister. And you have a strong foot!" Lily was happy and proud. She played soccer with Tom and his friends. They had fun. +Anna and Ben love to race each other. They race on their bikes, on their feet, and sometimes on their scooters. They always have fun, but they also want to win. + +One day, they see a new ice cream truck in the park. It has many colors and flavors. Anna and Ben want to try some, but they only have a little money. + +"Let's race to the truck," Ben says. "The winner gets to choose the flavor, and the loser pays for both." + +"OK," Anna says. "But you have to be fair. No pushing or cheating." + +They agree and start to race. They run as fast as they can, dodging people and dogs. They are very close, but Anna is a bit faster. She reaches the truck first and shouts, "I win, I win!" + +Ben arrives a second later and sighs. He gives Anna his money and says, "OK, you win. What flavor do you want?" + +Anna looks at the menu and sees many options. She sees chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and more. But she also sees something new and shiny. It is called gold ice cream. It looks like gold and has sparkles on it. + +"I want gold ice cream," Anna says. + +The ice cream man smiles and says, "That's a very expensive flavor. It costs ten dollars for one cone." + +Anna and Ben gasp. They only have five dollars together. They cannot afford gold ice cream. + +"Sorry, Anna," Ben says. "You have to choose something else. Something cheaper." + +Anna feels sad. She really wants to taste gold ice cream. She thinks it must be very special and delicious. She wonders if it tastes like gold or like something else. + +She looks at Ben and sees that he is sad too. He lost the race and he has no money. He cannot have any ice cream at all. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She decides to do something nice. She says to the ice cream man, "Can I have two cones of chocolate ice cream, please?" + +The ice cream man nods and gives her two cones. Anna pays with her money and gives one cone to Ben. She says, "Here, Ben. You can have this. I don't need gold ice cream. I have you. You are my best friend." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind. You are my best friend too." + +They lick their ice cream and enjoy the taste. They think it is the best ice cream ever. They forget about the race and the gold ice cream. They are happy. +Lily was sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. Mommy put a thermometer in her mouth to check her fever. Lily did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and made her tongue feel funny. + +"Beep beep!" The thermometer made a sound. Mommy looked at it and frowned. "Oh, Lily, you have a high fever. You need to rest and drink some water. No dancing today, sweetie." + +Lily felt sad. She loved to dance. She wanted to dance with her teddy bear and her doll. She wanted to dance to the music on the radio. She wanted to dance with Mommy and make her smile. + +"Please, Mommy, can I dance a little bit? Just a little bit?" Lily asked with a small voice. + +Mommy shook her head. "No, Lily, you need to rest. Dancing will make you more hot and tired. Maybe tomorrow, when you feel better, we can dance together. OK?" + +Lily nodded, but she still felt sad. She lay down on her bed and hugged her teddy bear. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. + +But then, she heard something. She opened her eyes and saw Mommy standing by the door. Mommy had a big smile on her face and a surprise in her hand. It was a new dress. A beautiful dress. A dress with pink flowers and sparkles and ribbons. A dress for dancing. + +"Look, Lily, I have a present for you. I know you love to dance, so I bought you this amazing dress. Do you like it?" Mommy said. + +Lily gasped. She loved the dress. She loved Mommy. She forgot about her fever and her sore throat. She jumped out of her bed and ran to Mommy. She hugged Mommy and thanked her.

Sometimes they go to a big place with many people and many tables. Mom and dad call it a restaurant. + +At the restaurant, they get a menu. A menu is a paper with words and pictures of foods. Tom and Mia can choose what they want to eat. They look at the menu and point to the foods they like. Tom likes pizza and Mia likes pasta. Mom and dad like salad and fish. + +The waiter comes and takes their menu. He says he will bring their food soon. Tom and Mia wait and talk to mom and dad. They see other people eating and drinking. They see some people with ordinary foods, like bread and cheese. They see some people with strange foods, like snails and sushi. Tom and Mia think they are brave to try those foods. + +Soon, their food comes. It smells good and looks yummy. Tom and Mia are happy. They say thank you to the waiter and start to eat.

Tom and Spot liked to run, jump, dig and chase each other. + +One day, Tom and Spot saw a fox in the yard. The fox was red and furry and had a long tail. The fox looked at Tom and Spot and ran away. Tom and Spot wanted to catch the fox, so they followed it. The fox was fast and smart. It ran under the fence, over the hill, and into the woods. + +Tom and Spot ran after the fox, but they could not find it. They looked behind the trees, under the rocks, and in the bushes. They did not see the fox anywhere. They only saw birds, squirrels, and bugs. Tom and Spot were tired and bored. + +"Where is the fox?" Tom asked Spot. + +"Woof, woof!" Spot barked. + +"Let's go back home," Tom said. "This is boring. Maybe we can find the fox another day." + +Tom and Spot turned around and walked back to the yard. They did not know that the fox was watching them from a high branch. The fox smiled and winked. It had set a trap for Tom and Spot. It had led them away from the yard, where it had hidden a big bone. The fox jumped down from the branch and ran to the yard. It dug up the bone and ran away with it. The fox was happy and clever. It had tricked Tom and Spot. +Lily and Max were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Lily had a red block that had a star on it. She called it her symbol. She liked to raise it high in the air and pretend it was a magic wand. + +"Look, Max, this is my symbol. It can do anything I want. It can make you fly or turn you into a frog or give you candy," Lily said, waving the red block. + +Max wanted to see the symbol. He reached for it, but Lily pulled it away. + +"No, Max, this is mine. You can't have it. Find your own symbol," Lily said, holding the block close to her chest. + +Max felt sad and angry. He wanted to play with the symbol too. He looked around and saw a blue block that had a moon on it. He grabbed it and said, "This is my symbol. It is better than yours. It can make you fall or turn you into a snail or take away your candy." + +He raised the blue block and tried to hit Lily's red block. Lily dodged and raised her red block higher. They started to fight with their blocks, trying to knock each other's symbol down. + +"Stop it, stop it, both of you!" Mom said, coming into the living room. She saw the blocks flying in the air and the children yelling. She took the blocks away and put them on the shelf. "You can't play with the blocks if you can't share them. They are not symbols, they are toys. And toys are for everyone to enjoy. Now, say sorry to each other and find something else to play with." + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt sorry for fighting. They said sorry and hugged. Mom smiled and said, "That's better. Now, how about we read a book together? I have a new one that has lots of symbols in it. It's called The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Do you want to hear it?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They liked books. They followed Mom to the couch and sat on her lap. Mom opened the book and showed them the pictures. They saw a caterpillar that ate a lot of food and turned into a butterfly.

He puts them all on his side of the room. + +"Look, Anna, I have more soldiers now!" Ben says. "And I have other toys too! You have nothing!" + +Anna is surprised and upset. She thinks Ben is not fair. She wants to have some of his toys too. She runs to his side and tries to take some. + +"Hey, stop it, Anna!" Ben says. "These are mine! Go away!" + +They start to fight and pull and push each other. They knock over the toys and make a big mess. They yell and cry and hit each other. + +Their mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees the chaos and the tears. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing, Anna and Ben?" she asks. "Why are you fighting?" + +They both try to explain and blame each other. They say the other one is not fair. + +Mom shakes her head and sighs. She picks up some of the toys and shows them to the children. + +"Do you know what these are?" she asks. "These are not just toys. These are soldiers. They are fighting a war. A war is when people hurt each other and make each other sad. A war is not fun. A war is not fair." + +Anna and Ben look at the toys and then at each other. They realize mom is right. They feel sorry for the soldiers and for each other. They don't want to fight a war. They want to play and have fun. + +They hug mom and say sorry. They hug each other and say sorry. They pick up the toys and share them. They play together and make peace.

The beads fell on the ground. Sara was shocked and scared. She tried to pick up the beads, but some of them were lost. + +"Oh no! What have I done?" Sara cried. "The bracelet is ruined! My mom will be so mad at me!" + +Anna felt sorry for Sara. She helped her to gather the beads. She also gave her a hug. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. Maybe you can tell your mom the truth and say you are sorry. Maybe she will forgive you," Anna said. + +Sara nodded. She realized that she had made a mistake. She wished she had listened to Anna. She learned that it was wrong to take things that did not belong to her. She also learned that some things are not harmless, but precious and fragile. She decided to be more careful and respectful in the future. +Lily liked to count. She counted everything she saw. She counted the birds in the sky, the flowers in the garden, the cars on the road. She counted her fingers and toes, her books and toys, her friends and family. Counting made her happy. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She wanted to count the swings and slides, the trees and benches, the dogs and people. But when she got there, she saw something bad. The park was closed. There was a big sign that said "No entry". There was a fence around the park. There were men with big machines and loud noises. They were digging up the ground and breaking the swings and slides. They were cutting down the trees and throwing away the benches. They were scaring away the dogs and people. + +Lily felt miserable. She could not count anything in the park. She could only see dirt and dust and rubbish. She could only hear bangs and booms and beeps. She could only smell smoke and oil and metal. She did not like it at all. She wanted to go home. + +She tugged on her mom's hand and said "Mom, I don't like it here. Can we go home?" Her mom nodded and said "Yes, sweetie, we can go home. I don't like it here either. I'm sorry the park is closed. Maybe they will make it nice again soon." + +Lily hoped so. She hoped they would make the park nice again. She hoped they would bring back the swings and slides, the trees and benches, the dogs and people. She hoped she could count them again. She hoped she could be happy again. +One day, a little girl named Mia woke up very early. She was happy because it was a sunny day and she wanted to play outside. She got out of her bed and put on her shoes and coat. She did not want to wake up her mommy and daddy, so she was very quiet. + +She opened the door and went outside. She saw many flowers and birds and bugs. She wandered around the garden and smelled the roses. She saw a big butterfly and followed it. The butterfly flew over the fence and into the woods. Mia wanted to see where it went, so she climbed over the fence too. + +She walked in the woods and saw many trees and animals. She heard a funny sound and looked around. She saw a little boy sitting on a log. He was playing with a toy car. He looked up and saw Mia. + +"Hi, who are you?" he asked. + +"Hi, I'm Mia. I followed a butterfly. Who are you?" she answered. + +"I'm Leo. I live in that house over there. Do you want to play with me?" he offered. + +"Yes, please. I like cars. Can I see yours?" she said. + +"Sure, here you go. It's red and fast. Do you have any toys?" he said. + +"I have a doll. She's pink and pretty. Do you want to see her?" she said. + +"Okay, why not. She looks nice. Do you want to be friends?" he said. + +"Yes, I do. You are nice too. Do you want to be friends?" she said. + +They smiled and nodded. They played with their toys and talked and laughed. They were happy. They did not know that their mommies and daddies were looking for them. They had wandered too far and they were lost. But they did not feel scared. They had each other. They were friends. +Lily liked to play with her violin. She got it from her grandma, who said it was very old and special. Lily liked to make sounds with it, even if they were not very pretty. She did not know how to play it well, but she had fun. + +One day, Lily was playing with her violin in her room, when she heard a loud noise. She ran to the window and saw a big truck outside. The truck was taking away some things from her neighbor's house. Lily saw her neighbor, Mr. Lee, talking to a man. + +"Please, don't take my violin!" Mr. Lee said. "It is very important to me. It was my father's violin. He taught me how to play it when I was a boy. I remember him every time I play it." + +"I'm sorry, Mr. Lee, but you have to pay your rent," the man said. "You have not paid for many months. I have to sell your things to get my money. The violin is worth a lot. It is very old and rare." + +"But it is not fair!" Mr. Lee said. "The violin is not just a thing. It is part of my family. It is part of my life. Please, let me keep it. I will find a way to pay you." + +The man shook his head. "No, Mr. Lee. You have no choice. The violin is mine now. You are a bad tenant. You have to leave." + +Lily felt very sad for Mr. Lee. She liked him. He was always nice to her. He sometimes played his violin for her and told her stories. She wanted to help him. She had an idea. + +She ran to her room and grabbed her violin. She ran outside and gave it to Mr. Lee. + +"Here, Mr. Lee, you can have my violin," she said. "It is not very old or rare, but it is very special. It was my grandma's violin. She gave it to me. I remember her every time I play it. Maybe you can play it and remember your father. Maybe you can sell it and pay your rent. Maybe you can stay." + +Mr. Lee looked at Lily with tears in his eyes. He hugged her and thanked her. He took her violin and played a beautiful song. The man watched and listened. He felt sorry for Mr. Lee. He changed his mind. + +"OK, Mr. Lee, you can keep your violin," he said. "But you have to pay me something. How about you play me a song every month? And you teach Lily how to play too. She is a very good girl. She has a very big heart." + +Mr. Lee smiled and nodded. He was happy. Lily was happy. They played their violins together. They remembered their loved ones. They made new friends. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play and learn together. Today, they have a quiz at school. The quiz is about animals and colors. + +Sara is good at animals and colors. She knows a lot of names and sounds. She is not afraid of the quiz. She thinks it will be fun. + +Tom is not good at animals and colors. He forgets some names and sounds. He is afraid of the quiz. He thinks it will be hard. + +The teacher gives them the quiz. She asks them to look at the pictures and say the names and colors of the animals. Sara raises her hand for every question. She says the right answers. She is happy. + +Tom does not raise his hand. He does not know some answers. He is sad. + +The teacher sees that Tom is sad. She goes to him and says, "Don't worry, Tom. You can try again. I will help you. Animals and colors are fun. You can learn them with Sara. She is your friend." + +Tom looks at Sara. Sara smiles at him and says, "Yes, Tom. I am your friend. I will help you. We can play and learn together. Animals and colors are fun. You can do it." + +Tom feels better. He says, "Thank you, teacher. Thank you, Sara. You are my friends. I will try again. I will learn animals and colors. I can do it." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today they want to go to the park with Mom. But first they have to get ready. + +Lily goes to the bathroom and finds her comb. She combs her hair and makes a ponytail. She looks in the mirror and smiles. She is ready. + +Ben goes to the bathroom and looks for his comb. He cannot find it. He sees Lily's comb on the sink. He thinks it is his comb. He grabs it and combs his hair. He does not make a ponytail. He looks in the mirror and frowns. He is not ready. + +Lily comes back to the bathroom and sees Ben with her comb. She is angry. She says, "Ben, that is my comb! Give it back!" + +Ben says, "No, it is my comb! I need it!" + +Lily says, "No, it is not! It is pink and has flowers. Your comb is blue and has cars. Where is your comb?" + +Ben says, "I don't know. I can't find it." + +Lily says, "Maybe you left it in your room. Go and look for it. Hurry up! We have to go to the park." + +Ben says, "Okay, okay. I will go and look for it. But you have to give me back my comb." + +Lily says, "It is not your comb! It is mine! But I will let you use it for now. But you have to give it back when you find your comb." + +Ben says, "Fine, fine. Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister." + +Lily says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good brother. But next time, don't take my comb. It is not nice." + +Ben says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I won't do it again." + +They hug and smile. They are ready. + +Mom comes and sees them. She says, "Are you ready to go to the park?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, Mom! We are ready!" + +Mom says, "Good. Let's go then. We will have fun and spend time together." + +Lily and Ben say, "Yay! We love the park!" + +They take their combs and follow Mom. They are happy. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big, hairy dog. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail. Lila and Tom wanted to pet the dog, but they asked the owner first. + +"Can we touch your dog?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, his name is Max. He likes children," the owner said. + +Lila and Tom stroked Max's fur and scratched his ears. Max licked their faces and made them giggle. They had fun with Max. + +Then they saw something shiny on the grass. It was a big, colorful egg. Lila and Tom wondered what was inside the egg. + +"Maybe it's a surprise," Lila said. + +"Maybe it's a toy," Tom said. + +They decided to open the egg. They cracked the shell and pulled it apart. They were surprised by what they saw. + +Inside the egg was a baby bird. It was fluffy and yellow. It had a small beak and big eyes. It looked at Lila and Tom and chirped. + +"Hello, little bird," Lila said. + +"Where is your mommy?" Tom asked. + +The bird did not answer. It looked scared and lonely. Lila and Tom felt sorry for the bird. + +They decided to help the bird. They looked around and saw a big tree. They thought the bird might belong to the tree. They picked up the bird and the egg shell and walked to the tree. + +They saw a nest on a branch. They climbed the tree and put the bird and the egg shell in the nest. They hoped the bird's mommy would come back soon. + +They said goodbye to the bird and climbed down the tree. They saw Max and his owner waiting for them. They thanked them for letting them play with Max. + +They went back to their parents and told them about their adventure. They were happy and proud. They had made a new friend and helped a baby bird. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big pile of wood near the fence. They wanted to build a house with the wood. + +"Let's take some wood and make a house," Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful. The wood is heavy and sharp," Ben said. + +They took some wood and carried it to a spot under a tree. They tried to put the wood together, but it was hard. The wood was too big and too heavy. They struggled to lift it and balance it. They hurt their hands and feet. + +"Ow, this wood is too hard. I don't like it," Lily said. + +"Me neither. Let's stop and do something else," Ben said. + +They left the wood and went to the kitchen. They saw a plate of cookies on the table. They smelled good. They wanted to eat them. + +"Let's have some cookies. They look yummy," Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful. The cookies are spicy. They have pepper in them," Ben said. + +They took some cookies and bit them. They tasted bad. They were too hot and too spicy. They burned their mouths and tongues. They spit them out and drank some water. + +"Yuck, these cookies are too spicy. I don't like them," Lily said. + +"Me neither. Let's stop and do something else," Ben said. + +They learned a lesson. They learned that some things are not good for them. They learned to be careful and listen to each other. They learned to be happy with what they have. They hugged each other and went to play with their toys. They had fun. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, slide, swing and climb. Mom had a camera and took many pictures of them. + +"Look, a big bird!" Ben said, pointing at the sky. He saw a white bird with a long neck and big wings. "What is it?" + +"It's a swan, Ben. It's a very pretty bird," Mom said. She lifted her camera to take a picture of the swan. + +But as she did, she tripped on a rock and dropped her camera. It fell on the grass and made a loud noise. Mom gasped and ran to pick it up. + +"Oh no, my camera! I hope it's not broken," she said, looking at the camera. She tried to turn it on, but nothing happened. She looked sad. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for Mom. They loved her camera too. They liked to see the pictures Mom took of them and their friends. + +"Mom, don't be sad. Maybe we can fix it," Anna said, hugging Mom. + +"Yeah, Mom. Or maybe we can get a new camera. A better one," Ben said, trying to cheer Mom up. + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very kind and brave. You always make me happy. I love you both very much." + +She kissed them on their cheeks and said, "Let's go home and see what we can do. Maybe the camera is not so bad. And even if it is, we still have our memories. And each other." + +Anna and Ben nodded and smiled. They held Mom's hands and walked home. They still had fun in the park, even without the camera. They knew Mom would always take care of them. And they would always take care of Mom. They were a happy family. +Lily liked to design things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of flowers, animals, and houses. She also liked to give her mom massages when she was tired. She used her small hands to rub her mom's back and shoulders. + +One day, Lily wanted to surprise her mom with a special design and a massage. She took her crayons and paper and went to her room. She thought hard about what to draw. She decided to make a picture of a strong superhero who could help people and fight bad guys. She used red, blue, and yellow crayons to make the superhero's costume. She gave him a big smile and a cape. + +When she finished, she ran to the living room where her mom was sitting on the couch. She showed her mom her design and said, "Look, Mom, I made you a superhero! He is strong and brave and he loves you!" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Thank you, Lily, this is a wonderful design! You are very creative and kind. I love you, too!" + +Lily said, "You're welcome, Mom. Do you want a massage? I can make you feel better." + +Her mom said, "Yes, please, that would be nice. You give the best massages." + +Lily climbed on the couch and started to massage her mom's back and shoulders. She said, "I learned how to massage from you, Mom. You always massage me when I'm sleepy or sad. You make me feel better, too." + +Her mom said, "You're very sweet, Lily. You make me happy every day. You are my superhero." +One day, Tom and Lily wanted to visit their grandma, who lived in a big house on a hill. They asked their mom if they could go, and she said yes, but they had to be back before dark. She gave them some cookies and milk to take with them. + +Tom and Lily were very happy and ran to the hill. They knocked on the door and grandma opened it. She was very happy to see them and hugged them. She invited them inside and showed them her toys and books. They played and read and had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise outside. It was thunder. The sky was dark and angry. Tom and Lily were scared and ran to grandma. She said, "Don't worry, my dears. Thunder is just the sound of the clouds talking. They are not angry at you. They are just making rain for the flowers and the trees." + +She took them to the window and showed them the rain. She said, "Look, the rain is like a gift from the sky. It makes everything grow and shine. It is good for the earth and for us. We should be thankful for the rain and the thunder." + +Tom and Lily looked at the rain and the thunder. They felt less scared and more curious. They said, "Thank you, grandma. You are very wise and kind. We love you and the rain and the thunder." + +They hugged grandma and said goodbye. They ran back to their mom, who was waiting for them. They told her about their visit and what they learned. Mom was very proud of them and said, "You are very brave and smart. You learned a good lesson today. Thunder and rain are not bad. They are part of nature and we should respect and appreciate them." + +Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They ate their cookies and milk and went to bed. They dreamed of grandma and the big house and the thunder and the rain. They were happy and grateful. +Tom is a boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a lot of cars, trains, and planes that he can zoom and vroom on the floor. He also has a cell that his mom gave him. It is not a real cell, but a toy one that can make sounds and light up. Tom likes to pretend that he is talking to his friends on his cell. + +One day, Tom is playing with his cell in his room. He hears his mom call him from the kitchen. She says, "Tom, it is time for lunch. Come and eat your sandwich and fruit." Tom does not want to stop playing. He says, "Mom, can I play a little more? I am talking to Sam on my cell. He is telling me a funny story." + +Mom says, "Tom, you can play later. Lunch is ready and you need to eat. You can tell Sam that you will call him back." Tom is not happy. He says, "Mom, please, please, please. Just a little more. Sam is almost done with his story. It is very long and interesting." + +Mom says, "Tom, I understand that you like your cell and your friend, but you are making a request that I cannot say yes to. You need to eat your lunch now, or it will get cold and yucky. You can finish your story after you eat. It will not go away. Now, put down your cell and come to the kitchen." + +Tom sighs. He knows that mom is right. He says, "Okay, mom. I will come. But can I bring my cell with me? Maybe Sam will wait for me." Mom says, "Yes, you can bring your cell, but you have to turn it off and put it on the table. You can turn it on again when you are done with your lunch. Deal?" Tom says, "Deal." He turns off his cell and puts it in his pocket. He runs to the kitchen and gives mom a hug. He says, "I love you, mom. And I love my cell. And I love Sam. And I love lunch." Mom smiles and says, "I love you too, Tom. And I love your cell. And I love Sam. And I love lunch. Now, let's eat." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their furry dog, Spot. They liked to throw a ball and watch Spot run and catch it. Sometimes Spot would bite the ball and make it squeak. + +"Good boy, Spot!" Lily said, patting his head. "You are so fast and smart!" + +Tom had a whistle in his pocket. He wanted to show Lily how loud it was. He took it out and blew it hard. The whistle made a high noise that hurt their ears. + +"Ow, Tom, that's too loud!" Lily said, covering her ears. "Stop it, please!" + +Spot did not like the noise either. He thought it was a bad sound that scared him. He ran to Tom and bit his hand. Tom dropped the whistle and cried. + +"Ow, Spot, that's not nice!" Tom said, holding his hand. "Why did you bite me?" + +Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She was sorry that he was hurt. She picked up the whistle and threw it away. + +"Bad whistle, go away!" she said. "We don't need you!" + +Spot wagged his tail and licked Tom's hand. He was sorry that he bit him. He wanted to play with the ball again. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asked. + +Tom nodded and smiled. He was not angry at Spot. He knew he was just scared. + +"I'm okay, Lily," he said. "Let's play with the ball again. Spot likes the ball." + +They threw the ball and Spot ran and caught it. They had fun and forgot about the whistle. They were happy. +Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big red truck. The truck is noisy. It makes a loud sound like "beep beep". Ben and Lily like the truck. + +"Look, Lily, a truck!" Ben says. He points his arm at the truck. "I want to see the truck. Can we go closer?" + +"OK, Ben, let's go," Lily says. She holds Ben's hand. They walk to the truck. + +The truck driver sees Ben and Lily. He smiles. He opens the door of the truck. He says, "Hello, kids. Do you like my truck?" + +"Yes, we do!" Ben and Lily say. They are happy. They want to ask the truck driver questions. + +"What is your name?" Ben asks. + +"My name is Tom," the truck driver says. + +"What do you do with your truck?" Lily asks. + +"I deliver things with my truck," the truck driver says. "I have boxes and bags in the back of my truck. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily say. They are curious. They want to see what is in the truck. + +The truck driver shows them the boxes and bags. He tells them what is inside. He has toys, books, clothes, and food. Ben and Lily think the truck driver is nice. They say, "Thank you, Tom, for showing us your truck." + +"You're welcome, kids," the truck driver says. "Have fun in the park. Bye bye." + +"Bye bye, Tom," Ben and Lily say. They wave their arms. They go back to playing in the park. They are happy. They like the big red truck. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play pretend a lot. One day, they pretended to be doctors and nurses. They used their toys and stuffed animals as patients. + +"Hello, Mr. Bear. What is wrong with you?" Lily asked, holding a toy stethoscope. + +"I have a sore tummy. It hurts a lot," Ben said, making a sad voice for Mr. Bear. + +"Don't worry, Mr. Bear. I will give you some medicine and a band-aid. You will feel better soon," Lily said, pretending to pour some water into a cup and stick a band-aid on Mr. Bear's tummy. + +"Thank you, Nurse Lily. You are very compassionate," Ben said, smiling. + +They played like this for a few minutes, until Lily's mom called them for lunch. + +"Come on, kids. It's time to eat. Put away your toys and wash your hands," Lily's mom said. + +"OK, Mom. We will be right there," Lily said. + +She and Ben started to clean up their toys and put them back in the toy box. But then, Lily saw something shiny on the floor. It was a real needle that had fallen from her mom's sewing kit. + +"Wow, look at this. It's a real needle. We can use it for our pretend game," Lily said, picking it up. + +"No, Lily. That's dangerous. You can hurt yourself or someone else. Put it back where you found it," Ben said, feeling scared. + +But Lily didn't listen. She wanted to try the needle on Mr. Bear. + +"Come on, Ben. It will be fun. Let's pretend that Mr. Bear needs a shot. I will be the doctor and you will be the nurse. Hold him still," Lily said, holding the needle in her hand. + +"No, Lily. Stop. I don't want to play this game. It's not fun. It's scary. Please, put the needle down," Ben said, trying to pull Mr. Bear away from Lily. + +But Lily didn't stop. She pushed Ben away and tried to poke the needle into Mr. Bear. But she missed. The needle went into her finger instead. She screamed. Blood came out of her finger. It hurt a lot. + +Lily's mom heard the scream and ran into the room. She saw Lily crying and bleeding. She saw the needle on the floor. She saw Ben shaking and crying too. + +She was very angry and very scared. She grabbed Lily and took her to the bathroom. She washed her finger and wrapped it in a cloth. She called the doctor and told him what happened. She said they had to go to the hospital right away. + +She looked at Ben and said, "You are in big trouble, young man. How could you let Lily play with a needle? You know better than that. You are not her friend. You are a bad boy. You are not allowed to play with Lily ever again. Go home and tell your mom what you did." + +Ben felt very sad and very sorry. He didn't mean to let Lily play with the needle. He tried to stop her. He wanted to be her friend. He wanted to say sorry to Lily and her mom. But they didn't listen. They didn't care. They left him alone in the room. He picked up Mr. Bear and hugged him. He wished he could go back in time and change everything. He wished he could play pretend with Lily again. But he couldn't. It was too late. He had lost his best friend. He had lost his game. He had lost his fun. He had a bad ending. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the backyard. Ben had a big red truck that he liked to drive on the grass. Lily had a small pink doll that she liked to hug and talk to. They were having fun until Ben saw something that made him angry. + +"Hey, that's my truck!" he shouted. He saw a big black dog running away with his truck in its mouth. The dog had jumped over the fence and stolen his truck. Ben ran after the dog, but it was too fast for him. + +"Ben, wait!" Lily called. She was worried about her brother. She picked up her doll and followed him. She saw the dog running into the woods with the truck. She saw Ben running after the dog. She ran after Ben. + +"Give me back my truck!" Ben yelled at the dog. He threw a stick at it, but he missed. The dog kept running with the truck. It looked like it wanted to eat the truck. Maybe it thought the truck was tasty. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily said. She caught up with him. She saw that they were in a dark and scary part of the woods. She saw spiders and snakes and thorns. She was afraid. "We can't go any further. It's too dangerous. Let's go back home." + +"But I want my truck!" Ben said. He was sad and angry. He loved his truck. He didn't want to lose it. + +"I know, Ben. I'm sorry. But the truck is gone. The dog took it. Maybe we can find another truck. Or maybe we can play with something else. Come on, let's go back home. Mom and Dad will be worried about us." Lily said. She hugged her brother and her doll. She tried to make him feel better. + +Ben looked at his sister. He saw that she was right. He saw that the woods were scary. He saw that the dog was gone. He saw that he had nothing to play with. He felt sorry for himself. But he also felt sorry for his sister. She was trying to help him. She was being nice to him. He decided to listen to her. + +"Okay, Lily. Let's go back home." he said. He hugged his sister back. He forgot about his truck for a while. He remembered that he had his sister. He thought that she was more important than his truck. He thought that she was his best friend. He smiled at her. She smiled back. They held hands and walked back home. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw many flowers and bugs. Lily liked the yellow flowers. She picked one and smelled it. It was a daisy. + +"Look, Tom, I have a daisy. It is pretty and smells good. Do you want one?" Lily asked. + +Tom nodded. He liked the yellow flowers too. He picked one and smelled it. It was a daisy. + +"Let's try to eat them. Maybe they taste good too," Tom said. + +Lily and Tom put the daisies in their mouths. They bit them and chewed them. But the daisies did not taste good. They tasted sour and bitter. Lily and Tom made faces and spat them out. + +"Yuck, yuck, yuck! The daisies are sour. They are not good to eat. They hurt my tongue and teeth," Lily said. + +"Me too, me too. The daisies are sour. They are not good to eat. They make me feel sick," Tom said. + +Lily and Tom threw the daisies away. They ran to the house. They wanted to drink some water and eat some cookies. But when they got to the house, they saw their mom. She was angry. She saw the daisies on the ground and in their mouths. + +"Lily and Tom, what did you do? You ate the daisies? You know you are not supposed to eat flowers. They are not food. They can make you sick. You are in big trouble. Go to your room. No water, no cookies, no play," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom cried. They were sorry. They did not know the daisies were sour and bad. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They went to their room. They felt sad and sick. They wished they never tried to eat the daisies. The end. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a modest house in a valley. They liked to play outside and enjoy the sun, the grass and the flowers. Sometimes they saw animals like rabbits, birds and cows. They were happy and curious. + +One day, they decided to explore a new part of the valley. They walked along a path that led to a big hill. They wanted to see what was on the other side. They climbed and climbed until they reached the top. They saw a beautiful lake that sparkled like a jewel. They were amazed and excited. + +They ran down the hill to the lake. They wanted to touch the water and see the fish. They did not notice a sign that said "Danger! Deep water! No swimming!" They did not know how to swim. They only knew how to splash and kick. + +They reached the edge of the lake and jumped in. They felt the water was cold and wet. They tried to splash and kick, but they could not stay afloat. They started to sink and panic. They cried for help, but no one heard them. + +A man who lived near the lake saw them. He was a fisherman who knew the lake well. He had a boat and a net. He quickly rowed to them and threw the net. He caught them and pulled them out. He was angry and scared. He scolded them for being foolish and careless. He told them to never go near the lake again. + +Tom and Lily were sorry and ashamed. They thanked the man for saving them. They learned a lesson that day. They realized that the valley was not always safe and fun. They promised to be more careful and listen to the signs. They hugged each other and went back to their modest house. They still enjoyed the valley, but they never forgot the lake. +Anna and Ben like winter. They like to play in the snow. They make snowmen and snowballs. They slide on the ice. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big hill. It is covered with snow. They want to go up the hill. They take their sleds.

Mia painted Ben's face blue. Ben painted Mia's hair green. They laughed and giggled. + +They painted their arms, their legs, their chests, their backs. They used all the colors of the rainbow. They felt happy and silly. They did not notice that the paint was dripping on the floor and the walls and the sink. + +They heard a knock on the door. It was Mom. + +"Mia, Ben, what are you doing in there?" Mom asked. "Open the door, please." + +Mia and Ben looked at each other. They felt scared and guilty. They tried to wipe off the paint, but it was too dry. It made their skin itch and burn. They felt uncomfortable. + +They opened the door. Mom saw them. She saw the mess. She was very angry. + +"Mia, Ben, what have you done?" Mom yelled. "You have ruined the bathroom and your bodies! How could you be so naughty and careless? You are in big trouble!" + +Mia and Ben started to cry. They wished they had not painted their bodies. They wished they had played something else. They knew they had made a big mistake. They were sorry, but it was too late. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see many people and cars on the street. They hear music and smell food.

Let's go home." + +Anna and Ben say, "No, no, no!" + +Mom says, "Don't worry. You can keep your prizes. But you have to be clean. Clean is good. Clean is healthy.

Tomorrow, we can play again." + +Anna and Ben say, "Good night, mom. Good night, festival. Good night, prizes. Good night, clean." +Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They make a big castle with blocks. They put a flag on top of the castle. They are happy. + +But then, Tom comes. Tom is mean. He wants to play with the blocks too. He does not ask. He does not share. He takes some blocks from the castle. He makes a tower with the blocks. He says his tower is better than the castle. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They say, "Stop, Tom! You are stupid! You are not allowed to take our blocks! You are not allowed to break our castle!" But Tom does not listen. He laughs. He takes more blocks. He makes his tower higher and higher. + +Then, something bad happens. Tom's tower is too high. It falls down. It makes a loud noise. It hits Tom on the head. It hurts. Tom cries. He says, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Anna and Ben see Tom cry. They are not mean. They are kind. They go to Tom. They say, "Are you okay, Tom? We are sorry you are hurt. Do you want to play with us?"

You are allowed to play with us. You are allowed to use our blocks. But you have to ask. And you have to share. And you have to be nice." Tom says, "Okay, I will. Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are good friends." They smile. They hug. They make a new castle together. They are happy. +Tim and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. One day, they saw a big black dragon in the sky. It had wings, teeth and fire. They were scared. + +The dragon flew over the park. It saw Tim and Mia. It wanted to eat them. It opened its mouth and roared. Tim and Mia ran away. They looked for a place to hide. + +They saw a big tree. It had a hole in the trunk. They ran to the tree and went inside.

She wanted to taste the pastry. She climbed on a chair and reached for it. + +"Stop, Lily! You will make a mess!" Ben shouted. + +But it was too late. Lily grabbed the pastry and pulled. It was heavy and sticky. It did not fit in her hand. It fell on the floor and broke into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came into the kitchen. She saw the pastry on the floor and the twins on the chair. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. Lily wanted to eat the pastry.

But they also liked to play and have fun. + +"Let's pretend we are kings and queens," Max said. "We can wear these crowns and sit on these chairs." + +"OK," Lily said. "But don't touch anything else. Mom said it is dangerous." + +They put on the crowns and sat on the chairs. They felt very important and happy. They laughed and talked. + +"Hello, Queen Lily," Max said. "How are you today?" + +"I am very good, King Max," Lily said. "But I am a little hungry. Can we have some cake?" + +"Of course," Max said. "But we have to be careful. There might be some bad people who want to take our cake." + +They looked around and saw a big door. They wondered what was behind it. + +"Let's go and see," Max said. "Maybe there is a secret room with more cake." + +"OK," Lily said. "But we have to be quiet. Mom said it is dangerous." + +They got up and walked to the door. They opened it slowly and peeked inside. They saw a big table with lots of food. There was cake, and cookies, and fruit, and candy. They also saw some people dressed in funny clothes. They had masks, and swords, and feathers. + +"Wow," Max said. "Look at all the food. And the people. They look like they are having a party." + +"Let's join them," Lily said. "Maybe they will share their food with us." + +They ran to the table and grabbed some cake. They did not notice that the people were not happy. They were angry. They were not having a party. They were planning to rob the palace. + +"Hey, who are you?" one of them shouted. "What are you doing here?" + +"Uh-oh," Max said. "We are in trouble. These are the bad people. They want to take our cake. And our crowns. And everything else." + +"Run, Lily, run!" he said. "We have to get out of here. Mom said it is dangerous." + +They dropped the cake and ran to the door. They saw their mom waiting for them. She looked worried and angry. + +"Lily, Max, where have you been?" she said. "I told you not to go anywhere. This is a dangerous place. There are bad people here. They want to hurt us." + +"Sorry, Mom," Lily said. "We were just playing. We wanted some cake." + +"We found some cake," Max said. "But the bad people wanted it too. They chased us. They were scary." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are safe. But you have to listen to me. This is not a place to play. This is a place to be careful. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mom," Lily and Max said. "We understand." + +They left the palace and went home. They learned their lesson. They never went to a dangerous place again.

Maybe tomorrow we can observe the birds together. They are beautiful and interesting." + +Anna agreed and said, "Yes, they are. And so is your kite. Thank you for sharing it with me." + +They hugged and said goodbye. Anna went home with a smile on her face. She had had a wonderful day. She looked forward to the next one. +Lily loved kittens. She wanted to have one of her own. One day, she saw a small box on the porch. She heard a soft meow from inside. She opened the box and found a tiny kitten with gray fur and blue eyes. + +"Hello, little kitten," Lily said. "Are you lost? Do you need a home?" + +The kitten looked at Lily and rubbed its head against her hand. It purred and licked her fingers. Lily smiled and picked up the kitten. She brought it inside the house. + +"Mom, look what I found!" Lily said. "Can I keep it, please?" + +Mom came to see the kitten. She examined it carefully. She checked its ears, its nose, its paws, and its tail. She saw that it was clean and healthy. + +"It's a very cute kitten, Lily," Mom said. "But are you sure you can take care of it? It needs food, water, toys, and a litter box. It also needs love and attention." + +"I can do that, Mom," Lily said. "I will be very kind to the kitten. I will feed it, play with it, and cuddle with it. I will name it Fluffy. Please, Mom, can I keep it?" + +Mom looked at Lily and the kitten. She saw how happy they were together. She nodded and hugged them both. + +"Okay, Lily, you can keep the kitten," Mom said. "But you have to be responsible and follow the rules. And you have to thank the person who left the box on the porch. They must have wanted the kitten to have a good home." + +"Thank you, Mom," Lily said. "And thank you, mystery person. You are very kind, too. Fluffy and I will be very happy." +One day, a little boy named Ben saw a big melon in the kitchen. He liked melons very much. He wanted to eat some of the melon. But his mom said, "No, Ben. That melon is for dinner. You have to wait." + +Ben was sad and angry. He did not want to wait. He thought his mom was mean. He decided to take some of the melon when his mom was not looking. He grabbed a knife and cut a big slice of the melon. He took a bite and smiled. The melon was sweet and juicy. + +But his mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Ben with the knife and the melon. She was very angry. She said, "Ben, what are you doing? You are not supposed to touch the melon. You are very naughty. You could have hurt yourself with the knife. And you ruined the melon for dinner. You have to punish now." + +Ben was scared. He did not like to punish. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was hungry. I like melon. Please don't punish me." + +But his mom did not listen. She said, "You have to learn your lesson. You have to go to your room and stay there until dinner. And you will not get any melon for dessert. That is your punish." + +She took the knife and the melon from Ben and sent him to his room. Ben cried and ran to his room. He felt bad and sorry. He wished he had listened to his mom. He did not like to punish. He did not like to miss the melon. He learned that he should not be naughty and greedy. He hoped his mom would forgive him and love him. He hoped the melon would not be too fierce with him. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had a big box of toys with cars, dolls, balls and animals. One day, they found a pig in the garden. The pig was pink and fat and had a curly tail. The pig was very sweet and liked to snort and roll in the mud. + +"Can we keep the pig, please?" Ben asked his mom. "He is so sweet and funny. We will feed him and wash him and play with him." + +Mom shook her head. "No, you cannot keep the pig. He is not a toy. He is a farm animal. He belongs to Mr. Brown, the farmer next door. He must have escaped from his pen. We have to return him to Mr. Brown." + +"But we love the pig, mom. He loves us too. He is our friend. Please, mom, please, allow us to keep the pig." Lily begged. + +Mom was firm. "No, you cannot keep the pig. He will grow too big and make too much mess. He will eat all our food and ruin our flowers. He will not be happy here. He needs to be with other pigs. Come on, let's take him back to Mr. Brown." + +Ben and Lily were very sad. They hugged the pig and said goodbye. They put him in a wagon and pulled him to the farm. Mr. Brown was happy to see his pig. He thanked Ben and Lily and gave them a cookie each. He said they could visit the pig anytime they wanted. + +But Ben and Lily did not want a cookie. They did not want to visit the pig. They wanted to keep the pig. They cried all the way home. They did not play with their toys. They did not talk to mom. They did not smile. They missed the pig very much. They wished they could have kept the pig. The end. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but they did not like to put them away. Their room was always messy and their mom was always angry. + +One day, mom said, "You have to tidy your room before you can have a snack. If you don't, I will take away your toys." Tom and Lily did not listen. They said, "We don't want to tidy. We want to play. We want a snack now." + +They ran to the kitchen and grabbed some cookies and milk. They did not ask mom. They did not say thank you. They went back to their room and ate their snack on their bed. They did not care about the crumbs and the spills. + +They saw their rocking horse and decided to ride it. They took turns to rock on it, faster and faster. They did not notice that the rocking horse was near the window. They did not hear mom calling them to stop. + +Suddenly, the rocking horse tipped over and crashed through the window. Tom and Lily fell out with it. They screamed and cried. They hurt themselves and broke the rocking horse. Mom heard the noise and ran to see what happened. She was shocked and scared. She called for help. + +Tom and Lily learned a hard lesson. They should have listened to mom and tidied their room. They should have asked for a snack and said thank you. They should have been careful with their toys and their window. They were sorry, but it was too late. + +The moral of the story is: Be obedient, be grateful, and be safe. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to go to the park with Mom and Dad. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a train. The train is Lily's favorite. She likes to sit in the front and pretend to drive. + +One day, Mom and Dad buy tickets for the train. They give one to Lily and one to Ben. Lily is happy. She runs to the train and climbs in. But Ben is not happy. He does not want to ride the train. He wants to play on the slide. + +Ben tries to give his ticket to Mom. But Mom says no. She says he has to ride the train with Lily. Ben does not like that. He starts to cry. He struggles to get away from Mom. He kicks and screams. + +Mom is sad. She does not want Ben to be unhappy. She tries to calm him down. She tells him the train is fun. She tells him he can play on the slide later. She tells him Lily will be lonely without him. + +Ben looks at Lily. She is smiling and waving at him. She looks playful. She wants him to join her. Ben thinks for a moment. He does not want to make Lily sad. He does not want to miss the train. He wipes his tears and takes his ticket. He follows Mom to the train. He sits next to Lily. He gives her a hug. + +Lily and Ben ride the train together. They have fun. They see the trees, the flowers, and the birds. They laugh and sing. Mom and Dad are happy. They take pictures of them. They are proud of Ben for being brave. They are proud of Lily for being kind. They love their twins. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside in the fall. They see many leaves on the ground. They are red, yellow, and brown. They are pretty, but they make the yard messy. + +"Let's rake the leaves and make a big pile," Tim says. He grabs a rake and starts to work. Sam is not sure. He thinks raking is hard and boring. He wants to do something else. + +"Come on, Sam, it will be fun," Tim encourages him. "We can jump in the pile when we are done. And maybe Mom will give us a treat." + +Sam thinks about it. He likes to jump and he likes treats. He decides to help Tim. He grabs another rake and joins him. They work together and make a big pile of leaves. + +"Wow, look at our pile! It's so big and wild!" Tim says. He drops his rake and runs to the pile. He jumps in and laughs. Sam follows him. He jumps in and laughs too. They have a lot of fun in the leaves. They feel happy and proud. + +Mom sees them from the window. She smiles and claps. She is proud of them too. She goes to the kitchen and makes some cookies. She brings them outside and gives them to Tim and Sam. + +"Good job, boys! You worked hard and made the yard clean. You deserve a treat. Here are some cookies for you," she says. + +"Thank you, Mom! You are the best!" Tim and Sam say. They hug her and eat the cookies. They are yummy and warm. They share some with the leaves. They are their friends now. +Ben and Mia were on a big boat with their dad. The boat was called a yacht. It was white and shiny and had a big sail. Ben and Mia liked to look at the water and the fish and the birds. + +One day, the sky became dark and the wind became strong. The water became rough and the yacht began to rock. Ben and Mia felt scared. They held on to their dad and each other. + +"Dad, what is happening?" Mia asked. + +"We are in a storm, sweetie. But don't worry, we will be okay. We just have to twist the sail and steer the yacht to a safe place." Dad said. + +He went to the front of the yacht and pulled a rope. The sail twisted and changed shape. He then went to the back of the yacht and turned a wheel. The yacht moved in a different direction. + +Ben and Mia watched their dad. They hoped he could make the storm go away. They saw big waves and flashes of light and heard loud noises. They felt cold and wet. + +"Dad, I don't like this. I want to go home." Ben said. + +"I know, buddy. Me too. But we have to be brave and strong. The storm will not last forever. Look, there is some land ahead. We can go there and wait for the storm to pass." Dad said. + +He pointed to a small island with some trees and rocks. He steered the yacht towards it. The waves became smaller and the wind became weaker. The yacht reached the shore and stopped. Dad tied the rope to a rock and helped Ben and Mia get off the yacht. + +They ran to the trees and found a dry spot. They hugged each other and smiled. + +"We did it! We are safe!" Mia said. + +"Yes, we are. And the yacht is safe too. We are very lucky." Dad said. + +They looked at the sky and saw some blue and some sun. The storm was over. They felt warm and happy. + +They thanked the yacht for taking them to the island. They decided to explore and have some fun. They hoped to see some animals and find some food. They knew they would go home soon. They loved their dad and their yacht and their adventure. +Anna loves the sea. She likes to play in the sand and watch the waves. Sometimes she sees people surf on the water. They stand on big boards and glide fast. Anna wants to try surf too. + +One day, Anna goes to the beach with her mom. She sees a girl with a surf board. The girl is deaf. She cannot hear sounds. She has a special device in her ear. Anna is curious. She walks to the girl and says hello. + +The girl smiles and waves. She points to her ear and shakes her head. She shows Anna her device. She says with her hands, "I am deaf. This helps me hear a little. What is your name?" + +Anna says her name and points to herself. She says with her hands, "I am Anna. I like surf. Can you teach me?" + +The girl nods and says with her hands, "I am Mia. I like surf too. Come with me. I will show you how." + +Anna and Mia become friends. They surf together and have fun. They talk with their hands and their eyes. They do not need words to understand each other. They are happy. +Tom and Amy like to play with clay. They make different shapes and animals with their hands. One day, they find a big book with pictures of bones and skulls. They think they look cool and scary. + +"Let's make a skull with clay!" Tom says to Amy. + +"OK, but how?" Amy asks. + +Tom opens the book and points to a page. "We can use this as a guide. See, it has a round part, and two holes for eyes, and a long part for the mouth." + +They take some clay and try to copy the picture. They roll, pinch, and press the clay. But it is difficult. The clay does not stay in the shape they want. It is too soft or too hard. The eyes are too big or too small. The mouth is too wide or too narrow. + +They try again and again, but they are not happy with their skulls. They look at each other and sigh. + +"This is too hard. Let's make something else." Amy says. + +"OK, what do you want to make?" Tom asks. + +Amy thinks for a moment. Then she smiles. + +"How about a flower? That is easy and pretty." + +Tom nods. "OK, let's make a flower. That sounds fun." + +They put away the book and the clay skulls. They take some new clay and make a flower. They give it petals, a stem, and a leaf. They are proud of their design. They show it to their mom and dad. They say it is beautiful and they love it. + +Tom and Amy are happy. They hug each other and say: + +"Flowers are better than skulls." +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the forest. They see many animals there. They are not afraid of them. + +One day, they see a hunter. He has a big gun. He wants to shoot the animals. Lila and Ben are angry. They want to stop him. + +They hide behind a tree. They wait for the hunter to come near. They have a plan. They want to joke with him. + +When the hunter is close, they jump out. They shout, "Boo!" The hunter is scared. He drops his gun. He runs away. + +Lila and Ben laugh. They pick up the gun. They throw it in the river. They say, "Bye-bye, stupid hunter!" + +They hug each other. They are happy. They saved the animals. They are heroes. +Lily loved waffles. She liked to eat them with butter and honey. Every morning, her mom made her a waffle for breakfast. Lily was happy. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a lot of people and animals. She saw dogs, birds, squirrels, and children. She also saw an elderly man. He had white hair and a long beard. He was sitting on a bench. He had a bag with him. + +Lily was curious. She walked to the man. She said hello. The man smiled. He opened his bag. He took out a waffle. He broke it in half. He gave one half to Lily. He said, "Do you like waffles?" + +Lily was surprised. She recognized the waffle. It looked like the one her mom made. She nodded. She said, "Yes, I do. Thank you." + +The man said, "You're welcome. I like waffles too. They are my favorite. I make them every day. I have no one to share them with. Would you like to be my friend?" + +Lily smiled. She liked the man. He was kind and generous. She said, "Yes, I would. What is your name?" + +The man said, "My name is George. What is yours?" + +Lily said, "My name is Lily. Nice to meet you, George." + +They ate their waffles together. They talked and laughed. They became friends. Lily was happy. George was happy. They both loved waffles. +Lily was shy. She did not like to talk to other kids at school. She liked to play with her dolls and books at home. But she had to go to school every day. She had to learn math and other things. + +One day, her teacher gave her a math problem. She had to add two and two. She knew the answer was four, but she was afraid to say it. She thought the other kids would laugh at her. She looked at her paper and did not say anything. + +"Can you tell me the answer, Lily?" the teacher asked. She smiled at Lily and waited. + +Lily felt her face get hot. She wanted to hide under her desk. She did not want to talk. + +Then, she heard a voice next to her. It was Ben, a boy who sat next to her. He was not shy. He liked to talk and play with everyone. + +"Hey, Lily, I know the answer. It's four. Do you want to say it with me?" he whispered. He held up four fingers and smiled at Lily. + +Lily looked at Ben. He was nice. He did not laugh at her. He wanted to help her. She felt a little less shy. She nodded and held up four fingers too. + +"Four!" they said together. + +The teacher clapped her hands. "Very good, Lily and Ben! You are both smart and kind. You can be friends and help each other with math and other things." + +Lily smiled. She felt happy. She had a friend. She liked math. She wondered what else would happen at school. +Tom and Anna like to go to the library with Mom. They can find many books with pictures and stories. They can also play with toys and puzzles. Mom says they have to be quiet in the library, because other people are reading. + +One day, they go to the library and see a big bird outside. It is lying on the ground and not moving. Tom and Anna are curious. They run to the bird and touch it. It is cold and stiff. + +"Mom, look at the bird!" Tom says. "Is it sleeping?" + +Mom comes over and sees the bird. She pauses and looks sad. She kneels down and hugs Tom and Anna. + +"No, sweeties, the bird is not sleeping. It is dead. That means it stopped living and breathing. It can't fly or sing anymore." + +"Why is it dead, Mom?" Anna asks. "Did it get hurt?" + +Mom shakes her head. "I don't know, honey. Sometimes birds die of old age, or sickness, or accidents. It is part of nature. But we can be gentle and respectful to the bird. We can say goodbye and thank it for being a beautiful creature." + +Tom and Anna nod. They say goodbye to the bird and stroke its feathers. Mom finds a shovel and digs a hole in the grass. She puts the bird in the hole and covers it with dirt. She makes a cross with two sticks and puts it on top. + +"Rest in peace, bird," Mom says. "We will remember you." + +Tom and Anna smile and hold Mom's hand. They go back to the library and find a book about birds. They learn about different kinds of birds and how they live. They also learn to appreciate life and nature. They are happy and smart. +Lila was a furry cat who liked to play with anything that moved. One day, she saw a big white envelope on the table. She jumped on the table and tried to catch the envelope with her paws. But the envelope was not easy to catch. It was light and thin, and it moved with the wind. + +"Whoosh!" The envelope flew off the table and into the air. Lila ran after it, but it was too fast for her. She saw it fly out of the window and into the sky. She was sad and angry. She wanted to play with the envelope. + +"Meow!" She cried. "Come back, envelope! You are mine!" + +But the envelope did not come back. It flew higher and higher, until it was a tiny dot in the blue. Lila could not see it anymore. She felt lonely and bored. + +Then she heard a voice behind her. It was her friend, Max, a furry dog who lived next door. He had seen the envelope fly away, and he had come to cheer her up. + +"Hi, Lila!" He said. "Do you want to play with me? I have a ball. It is round and red, and it does not fly away. It bounces and rolls, and it is fun to chase." + +Lila looked at Max and his ball. She smiled. She liked Max and his ball. They were nice and friendly. She forgot about the envelope. + +"Okay, Max!" She said. "Let's play with your ball. It is better than the envelope. Thank you for being my friend." + +They ran off together, happy and playful. They did not see the envelope again. But they did not care. They had each other, and they had the ball. And that was enough. +Anna loved to play with her velvet doll. She liked to brush her hair, dress her up, and talk to her. She named her doll Lily, because she had a flower on her dress. + +One day, Anna and Lily went to the park with Mommy. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Anna wanted to try them all, but she did not want to leave Lily alone. She asked Mommy, "Can I take Lily with me?" + +Mommy smiled and said, "Of course, sweetie. But be careful with her. She is very soft and pretty. You don't want to make her dirty or tear her dress." + +Anna nodded and hugged Lily. She said, "Don't worry, Mommy. I will take good care of Lily. She is my best friend." + +Anna and Lily had a lot of fun at the park. They slid down the slide, swung on the swing, and made a castle in the sandbox. Lily was very brave and happy. She liked to see the sky, the trees, and the birds. + +But then, Anna saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was barking and wagging his tail. He wanted to play, too. Anna was scared. She did not like big dogs. She thought they might bite or scratch. She grabbed Lily and ran to Mommy. + +Mommy saw Anna and the dog. She called the dog's owner and asked him to leash his dog. She said, "I'm sorry, but my daughter is afraid of dogs. Please keep your dog away from her." + +The dog's owner apologized and said, "I'm sorry, too. My dog is very friendly, but he is also very curious. He just wanted to say hello to your daughter and her doll." + +Mommy thanked him and hugged Anna. She said, "It's okay, honey. The dog did not mean to scare you. He was just being playful. But I'm proud of you for protecting Lily. You are a good friend to her." + +Anna smiled and looked at Lily. She saw that Lily's dress was dirty and wrinkled from the sand and the run. She felt sorry for Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Your dress is not pretty anymore. I will make it pretty again." + +Anna took Lily to a bench and folded her dress. She tried to smooth out the wrinkles and the dirt. She said, "There, Lily. Now your dress is better. You are still very soft and pretty. You are a graceful doll." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big lemon tree with many yellow fruits. They wanted to try them, so they picked some lemons and ran to the kitchen. + +"Look, Mom, we have lemons!" Lily said, holding up a lemon. + +"Wow, that's great, my loves. Do you know what you can do with lemons?" Mom asked. + +"No, what can we do?" Ben asked. + +"You can make lemonade, a yummy drink. You need some water, some sugar, and some lemons. Do you want to help me?" Mom said. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Ben said. + +They followed Mom to the table, where she had a big pitcher, a knife, a spoon, and a bowl. Mom cut the lemons in half and gave one to each child. She told them to squeeze the lemons into the bowl. + +Lily and Ben squeezed hard, but the juice squirted into their eyes and mouths. They made funny faces and cried out. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The lemons are bitter!" Lily said. + +"Yuck, yuck, yuck! The lemons are sour!" Ben said. + +Mom laughed and hugged them. She said, "Don't worry, my loves. The lemons are bitter and sour, but when you add some water and some sugar, they become sweet and refreshing. Trust me, you will like it." + +She poured some water and some sugar into the pitcher and stirred. Then she added the lemon juice and stirred again. She poured some lemonade into three cups and gave one to each child. + +Lily and Ben took a sip and smiled. They liked the lemonade. It was cold and tasty. + +"Wow, Mom, you are right. The lemonade is good!" Lily said. + +"Thank you, Mom, for teaching us how to make lemonade!" Ben said. + +Mom smiled and said, "You are welcome, my loves. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You can spend the rest of the day playing in the garden, but don't forget to drink some more lemonade. It will keep you cool and happy." +Tommy and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they both wanted the same pencil. The pencil was red and shiny, and it had a funny eraser on the top. + +"Give me the pencil!" Tommy said. He tried to grab the pencil from Lily's hand. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She held the pencil tight and moved away from Tommy. + +Tommy was angry. He ran after Lily and pushed her. Lily fell down and started to cry. + +"Tommy, that's naughty!" Mommy said. She came into the living room and saw what happened. She picked up Lily and hugged her. "Are you okay, sweetie?" + +Lily nodded, but she still sobbed. She showed Mommy the pencil. "Tommy wanted my pencil. He was mean to me." + +Mommy looked at Tommy. He was sulking on the floor. "Tommy, you need to say sorry to Lily. You can't take things that are not yours. And you can't push your sister. That's not nice." + +"But I want the pencil!" Tommy said. He insisted on having the pencil. He did not want to say sorry. + +Mommy shook her head. She was not happy with Tommy. "You can't have the pencil, Tommy. It belongs to Lily. She was playing with it first. You have to share and be kind. If you don't say sorry, you will go to your room." + +Tommy did not like his room. He wanted to stay and play. He looked at Lily and the pencil. He did not want to make Mommy more angry. He decided to say sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tommy said. He got up and walked to Lily and Mommy. "Can I play with you?" + +Lily smiled. She was not mad at Tommy anymore. She liked to play with her brother. She gave him the pencil. "Okay, Tommy. You can play with me. But you have to be gentle." + +Tommy took the pencil. He was happy. He thanked Lily and hugged her. "Thank you, Lily. I love you." + +Mommy smiled too. She was proud of Tommy and Lily. She kissed them both. "I love you too, my darlings. Now, let's play nicely together." +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys and cushions to make a fort. They pretended they were knights and princesses. Lily was the princess and Ben was the knight. They had fun. + +But then, Ben had a foolish idea. He wanted to climb on the sofa and jump on the cushions. He thought it would be fun. He did not listen to Lily, who said it was dangerous. He said he was brave and strong. + +He climbed on the sofa and jumped. But he jumped too far and missed the cushions. He fell on the floor and hurt his arm. He cried out loud. Lily ran to him and hugged him. She said, "Are you okay, Ben? You were foolish. You could have broken your arm." + +Ben was sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was foolish. I wanted to have fun, but I was not careful. It hurts a lot." Lily said, "Don't worry, Ben. I will rescue you. I will get Mommy and she will make it better." + +She ran to the kitchen and called Mommy. Mommy came and saw Ben on the floor. She said, "What happened, Ben? Why are you crying?" Lily said, "Ben was foolish. He jumped from the sofa and missed the cushions. He hurt his arm. I rescued him and brought you." Mommy said, "Oh, Ben. You were foolish. You should not jump from the sofa. It is dangerous. Let me see your arm." + +She looked at his arm and saw it was bruised. She said, "It is not broken, but it is sore. I will put some ice on it and give you a kiss. Then you will feel better." She did that and Ben felt better. He said, "Thank you, Mommy. Thank you, Lily. You are both very kind. I will not be foolish again. I will be careful and play safely." Mommy said, "That's good, Ben. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, why don't you and Lily play with the cushions on the floor? They are soft and cozy." Lily and Ben said, "Okay, Mommy. We will do that." They played with the cushions on the floor and had fun. They were happy. +Mia and Leo were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food for their toys. Mia found a jar of olives in the cupboard. She liked olives, but Leo did not. + +"Look, Leo, I have olives!" Mia said, holding the jar. "Do you want some?" + +"Yuck, no!" Leo said, making a face. "Olives are gross. They are green and round and salty. I don't like them." + +Mia opened the jar and took out an olive. She put it in her mouth and smiled. "Mmm, olives are yummy. They are green and round and salty. I like them." + +She urged Leo to try one. She held out an olive to him and said, "Please, Leo, just try one. Maybe you will like it. It is good to try new things." + +Leo looked at the olive. He did not want to try it, but he did not want to make Mia sad. He was her friend, and he liked to play with her. He took the olive from her hand and put it in his mouth. He bit it and made a face. He did not like it. He spit it out and said, "Blech, olives are gross. They are green and round and salty. I don't like them." + +Mia laughed and said, "It's okay, Leo. You don't have to like olives. We can make something else for our toys. How about pizza?" + +Leo nodded and said, "Yes, pizza is good. I like pizza. It is red and flat and cheesy. Let's make pizza." + +They put the jar of olives away and got some bread and cheese and sauce. They made pizza for their toys and ate some too. They had fun in the kitchen. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had. There was a big chest in the corner. It was brown and had a lock on it. + +"What is in there?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe something expensive," Ben said. + +They wanted to open the chest and see. But the lock was too hard to break. They tried to pull the chest closer to the window. Maybe they could find a key outside. + +But the chest was too heavy. They could not move it. They pulled and pulled, but it did not budge. + +"Help me, Lily!" Ben said. + +"I am helping, Ben!" Lily said. + +They pulled harder and harder. But then they heard a loud noise. The chest fell over and hit the floor. It made a big hole in the wood. They saw dust and dirt and spiders. + +"Uh-oh," Lily said. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said. + +They heard their grandma coming up the stairs. She sounded angry. + +"What are you doing up there?" she shouted. + +They were scared. They hid behind the chest. They hoped she would not see the hole. They hoped she would not be mad. They hoped the chest was not too expensive. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a high hedge at the end of the garden. They wondered what was behind it. + +"Let's go and see!" said Ben. + +"OK!" said Lily. + +They ran to the hedge and tried to look over it. But it was too high. They could not see anything. + +"Maybe we can climb it," said Ben. + +He grabbed a branch and pulled himself up. But the branch broke and he fell down. + +"Ouch!" he said. + +"Are you OK?" asked Lily. + +"I'm OK. But I hurt my knee," said Ben. + +He showed Lily his knee. It had a small cut and some blood. + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She wanted to help him. + +"I know! I can solve this!" she said. + +She ran to the house and came back with a band-aid and a cookie. + +She put the band-aid on Ben's knee and gave him the cookie. + +"There! All better!" she said. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind," said Ben. + +He smiled and ate the cookie. + +They hugged and decided to play something else. + +They forgot about the hedge and what was behind it. They were happy to have each other. +Lily was very happy today. She was going to a party with her friends. She wanted to wear her new dress. It was pink and shiny and had flowers on it. She thought it was the most beautiful dress ever. + +She ran to her room and opened her closet. She looked for her dress, but she could not find it. She felt sad and worried. Where was her dress? She asked her mom. + +"Mom, where is my dress? The pink one with flowers. I want to wear it to the party." + +Her mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I have a surprise for you. Come with me." + +She took Lily's hand and led her to the living room. There, on the couch, was Lily's dress. But it was not the same as before. It had a big bow on the front and a ribbon on the back. It also had some glitter on it. It sparkled in the light. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "It's so pretty! Did you do this, mom?" + +"Yes, I did. I wanted to make your dress more special. Do you like it?" + +"I love it, mom! Thank you so much! You are the best mom ever!" + +Lily hugged her mom and kissed her cheek. She put on her dress and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt lucky and happy. She was ready to go to the party and have fun. She hoped her friends would like her dress too. She knew she would have a great day. +Anna and Ben like to play by the lake. They look for pebbles of different colors and shapes. They make piles of pebbles and pretend they are treasure. + +One day, Anna finds a very pretty pebble. It is smooth and shiny and orange. She shows it to Ben and says, "Look, Ben, I found an orange pebble. It is like the sun." + +Ben likes the orange pebble too. He wants to have it for his pile. He says, "Can I have it, Anna? Please? It is so nice." + +Anna does not want to give it to Ben. She says, "No, Ben, it is mine. I found it first. You can have another pebble." + +Ben is sad and angry. He says, "That is not fair, Anna. You have more pebbles than me. You are not a good friend." + +Anna and Ben start to argue. They do not hear their mom call them for lunch. She calls them again and again, but they do not listen. + +Their mom comes to the lake and sees them fighting. She says, "Anna, Ben, what are you doing? Why are you not coming when I call you? Why are you not sharing?" + +Anna and Ben stop and look at their mom. They feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We were fighting over an orange pebble. We forgot to listen to you. We forgot to share." + +Their mom says, "An orange pebble is not worth fighting over. You can both enjoy it and play with it. Sharing is caring. Come on, let's go home and have lunch. You can bring the pebble with you." + +Anna and Ben hug their mom and say, "Thank you, mom. We love you. We love the orange pebble. We will share it and be good friends." They take the pebble and follow their mom home. They are happy and hungry. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together, share toys and hug. One day, they decided to play pretend. They found some old clothes and a ring in Lily's mom's closet. They put on the clothes and the ring and said they were married. + +They went to the garden and invited their stuffed animals to their wedding. They had a cake made of mud and flowers. They said nice words to each other and kissed. They were very happy and excited. They felt peace in their hearts. + +But then, Lily's mom came and saw them. She was not happy. She said they were too young to marry. She said they had to take off the clothes and the ring and wash their faces. She said they had to play something else. + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They did not want to stop playing. They did not want to give back the ring. They said they loved each other and wanted to stay married. + +Lily's mom saw their tears and felt sorry. She hugged them and said she was sorry too. She said they could keep the ring and the clothes, but they had to wait until they were older to marry. She said they could still be best friends and play together. She said she loved them and wanted them to be happy. + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged her back. They said they understood and thanked her. They said they loved her too. They went back to the garden and played with their stuffed animals. They still felt peace in their hearts. They knew they would always be best friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. But they do not like to help Mom and Dad with chores. They are lazy. + +One day, Mom makes a big dessert. It is a cake with chocolate and cream. It smells very good. Mom says, "Lily and Ben, you can have some dessert after you clean your room and wash the dishes." + +Lily and Ben do not want to do chores. They want to eat dessert now. They sneak into the kitchen when Mom is not looking. They see the cake on the table. They grab a big piece each and run to their room. + +They eat the cake very fast. It is sweet and yummy. They lick their fingers and smile. They think they are very clever. + +But Mom knows what they did. She comes to their room and sees the crumbs and the stains. She is not happy. She says, "Lily and Ben, you are naughty. You ate dessert before doing chores. Now you have no dessert left and you have to do extra chores. And you have to brush your teeth twice." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They know they did wrong. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will not be lazy again. We will help you with chores. Please forgive us." + +Mom hugs them and says, "I forgive you, but you have to learn your lesson. Next time, you have to wait for dessert and do your chores first. Then you can enjoy your dessert and have fun." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They see a big slide. It is purple and shiny. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lily says. She runs to the ladder. + +"Wait for me!" Ben says. He follows her. + +They climb up the ladder. They sit on the slide. They hold hands. + +"Are you ready?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, I am!" Ben says. + +They slide down the slide. They go fast and feel the wind. They laugh and scream. + +They reach the bottom. They land on the soft grass. They are happy and safe. + +"That was fun!" Lily says. + +"Let's do it again!" Ben says. + +They get up and run to the ladder. They slide again and again. They have a lot of fun on the purple slide. +Lily was hungry. She saw a fork on the table. She wanted to touch it. It looked shiny and fun. + +She reached for the fork. But her mom saw her. She said, "No, Lily, don't touch the fork. It can hurt you." + +Lily did not listen. She grabbed the fork. But it was not fun. It was sharp. It poked her finger. She felt pain. She cried. + +Her mom ran to her. She took the fork away. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay? Let me see your finger." + +She kissed Lily's finger. She put a band-aid on it. She said, "The fork is not a toy, Lily. It is for eating. You have to be careful with it. Next time, listen to mom, okay?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I love you." + +Her mom hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's have some lunch. I have some yummy soup for you. You can use a spoon. It is not sharp. It is safe." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Okay, mom. I like soup. And I like spoons. Thank you, mom." + +They went to the kitchen. They had lunch. Lily did not touch the fork again. She learned her lesson. She was happy. +Tom and Anna like to travel with their mom and dad. They go to many places and see many things. One day, they go to a big park with many flowers and trees. Mom and dad say they can play in a maze. A maze is a place with many walls and paths. You have to find your way out. + +Tom and Anna are excited. They run to the maze and enter. They try to follow the signs, but they get lost. They turn left and right, but they see only walls. They start to feel scared. + +"Tom, where are we?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know, Anna. We have to find the exit," Tom says. + +They keep walking, but they don't see anyone. They hear some noises, but they don't know what they are. They think they see a shadow, but they don't know who it is. + +"Tom, I'm scared. I want mom and dad," Anna says. + +"Me too, Anna. But we have to be brave. We have to find the way out," Tom says. + +They hold hands and walk faster. They hope to see a sign or a person. They hope to see the sun or the sky. They hope to see mom and dad. + +They see a light at the end of the path. They run to it. They see the exit. They see mom and dad. They see other kids. They see the park.

They want their things back. They chase the dog. But the dog is too fast. He disappears in the woods. + +Lila and Ben are tired. They go back to their house. They tell their mom what happened. Their mom hugs them and gives them hot chocolate. She says they are very brave and modest. She says they can make another snowman tomorrow. Lila and Ben smile. They love their mom. They love winter. +Lily loved to play her violin. She learned from her mom, who was a violin teacher. Lily liked to make music with her mom and dad, who played the piano and the guitar. They had a lot of fun together. + +One day, Lily was playing her violin in her room, when she heard a loud noise. She looked out the window and saw a big truck.

The dog was barking and wagging its tail. + +"Let's go and pet the dog!" Tom said. He liked dogs very much. + +"No, Tom, we don't know the dog. It might bite us. We should stay away from it." Sara said. She was afraid of dogs. + +"But it looks harmless. It just wants to play. Come on, Sara, don't be scared." Tom said. He ran towards the dog. + +Sara followed him, but she was not happy. She hoped the dog was friendly. + +The dog saw Tom and Sara coming. It stopped barking and ran to them. It licked Tom's face and jumped on Sara. It was very happy to see them. + +"See, Sara, the dog is nice. It likes us. Can we play with it?" Tom asked. + +Sara felt the dog's fur and tongue. It was soft and warm. She smiled and petted the dog. + +"Okay, Tom, we can play with it. But only for a little while. Then we have to go back to our mom and dad. They might be worried." Sara said. + +Tom and Sara played with the dog for a while. They threw the ball and the dog fetched it. They laughed and had fun. + +Then they heard their mom and dad calling them. They said goodbye to the dog and ran to them. + +"Who is that dog?" their mom asked. + +"We don't know. We just met it. It was harmless. It played with us." Tom said. + +"Did you ask the owner if you could pet it?" their dad asked. + +"No, we didn't see the owner. The dog was alone." Sara said. + +Their mom and dad looked at each other. They were glad that nothing bad happened, but they were also worried. + +"Listen, Tom and Sara, we are happy that you made a new friend, but you have to be careful. Not all dogs are harmless. Some dogs might be sick or angry or scared. They might hurt you if you touch them without permission. You should always ask the owner first, or stay away from them if they are alone. Do you understand?" their mom said. + +Tom and Sara nodded. They understood. They hugged their mom and dad and said they were sorry. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be respectful and safe around animals. They also learned to enjoy their friendship with the black dog. They hoped to see it again. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big dog with a red collar. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Anna asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the owner first," Ben said. + +They looked around and saw a man sitting on a bench. He was reading a book and had a cup of coffee. He smiled at them and nodded. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like my dog? His name is Max," the man said. + +"Yes, he is very nice. Can we pet him?" Anna repeated her question. + +"Sure, you can. He loves to be petted. He is very gentle and smart," the man said. + +Anna and Ben walked towards Max. They reached out their hands and touched his fur. He licked their faces and made them giggle. + +"Wow, he is so soft and warm. He is a good dog," Ben said. + +"Thank you for letting us pet him. He is a great surprise," Anna said. + +"You're welcome. You are very brave and polite. Do you want to play fetch with him? I have a ball in my bag," the man said. + +"Yes, please.

It was bigger and shinier than their wagon. It had four wheels, a horn, and a handle. Tom and Lily wanted to try the new wagon. They asked their neighbor, Ben, if they could play with it. + +"Sure, you can play with my wagon," Ben said. "But you have to let me play with your wagon, too." + +Tom and Lily agreed. They gave their wagon to Ben and took his wagon. They pulled and pushed the new wagon around the yard. They honked the horn and waved the handle. They felt very happy. + +But after a while, they noticed something. The new wagon was too heavy for them. They got tired of pulling and pushing it. They also saw that the horn was loud and annoying.

He was smiling and laughing. He looked very happy. + +Tom and Lily felt very sad. They realized that they had made a mistake. They missed their wagon. They wanted it back. + +They went to Ben and said, "Ben, can we have our wagon back? We don't like your wagon. It's too big and noisy and hard. We like our wagon. It's just right for us." + +Ben looked at them and said, "Sure, you can have your wagon back. But you have to learn a lesson. You have to be happy with what you have. You don't need a bigger or shinier or fancier wagon. You need a regular wagon that suits you. That's the best wagon for you." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They thanked Ben and gave him his wagon back. They took their wagon and hugged it. They felt very sorry and very grateful. They learned to appreciate their wagon and never wanted another one again. They had a lot of fun with their wagon. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to ride bikes. They have a team. They wear red hats and blue shirts.

Ben asks Sam. + +"I don't know. He is ugly. He has a big nose and small eyes. He does not have a team. Let's go away," Sam says. + +But Ben is kind. He rides to the new boy and says, "Hi, I am Ben. This is Sam. We have a team. Do you want to join us?" + +The new boy smiles. He says, "Hi, I am Tom. I am new here. I don't have a team. I want to join you. Thank you." + +Ben and Sam are happy. They give Tom a red hat and a blue shirt. They teach him how to ride fast and have fun. They are a good team. They are friends. +Tom and Jen are playing with water in the garden. They have a big tub of water and some cups and spoons. They pour water on the grass, on the flowers, and on each other. They laugh and splash and have fun. + +But then Mom comes out and says, "Time to go inside, kids. It's getting cold and dark. You need to dry off and put on warm clothes." She gives them each a big towel and helps them dry their hair and arms and legs. She tells them to leave the wet clothes in a pile by the exit. + +Tom and Jen follow Mom inside. They see a big sign on the door that says "EXIT". They know what it means. It means the way out. They learned it from a book. They think they are very smart. + +But when they go inside, they see something that makes them stop and stare. It is Dad. He is sitting on the couch, watching TV. He is wearing a silly hat, a long scarf, and big boots. He looks very hot and funny. + +"Why are you wearing that, Dad?" Tom asks. + +"Because it's cold and dark outside," Dad says. + +"But you are inside, Dad," Jen says. + +"I know, I know," Dad says. "But I wanted to be ready in case I had to go outside." + +Tom and Jen look at each other. They think Dad is very stupid. They giggle and shake their heads.

Tom and Anna do not like the bus. + +"Yuck, this bus is gross!" Tom says. He makes a face. + +"I agree, this bus is nasty!" Anna says. She holds her nose. + +They run off the bus and back to the park. They find a clean bench and sit down. They are happy to be out of the bus. + +"Let's never go on that bus again!" Tom says. + +"Never ever!" Anna says. They laugh and hug. They play in the park until it is time to go home. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the farm with their mom. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. They also saw a big field with tall plants. Mom said those plants were oats. Ben and Lily wanted to know more about oats. + +"Mom, what are oats for?" Ben asked. + +"Oats are for making food, like oatmeal and bread. The farmer grows them and then harvests them when they are ripe. Do you want to see how?" Mom said. + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily said. + +Mom took them to a barn, where they saw a machine that crushed the oats and made them into small flakes. They also saw a big bag of oat flakes that the farmer gave them to take home. + +"Thank you, farmer!" Ben and Lily said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy your oats!" The farmer said. + +On the way home, Ben and Lily were hungry. They asked Mom if they could eat some of the oat flakes. Mom said yes, but they had to share. She gave them each a handful of oat flakes and a cup of water. + +Ben and Lily liked the oat flakes. They were crunchy and sweet. But Ben wanted more. He saw that Lily still had some oat flakes in her hand. He quickly grabbed them and stuffed them in his mouth. + +"Hey, that's not fair! Those were mine!" Lily cried. + +"Ben, that was very rude. You should not take Lily's food without asking. You have to say sorry and give her some of yours." Mom said. + +Ben felt ashamed. He knew he did something bad. He looked at Lily, who was sad and angry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was greedy. Here, you can have some of my oat flakes." Ben said. + +He gave Lily half of his oat flakes. Lily smiled and said thank you. She forgave Ben and shared her water with him. + +Mom was proud of Ben and Lily. She explained to them that sharing was caring, and that they should always be kind to each other. Ben and Lily agreed and hugged each other. They learned a lesson and enjoyed their oats. +Tom and Sue wanted to buy a new dishwasher. Their old one was broken and made a lot of noise. They went to the shop and saw many dishwashers.
