"I win, I win!" she cheered. + +Ben got up and looked at his car. It was dirty and dented. He felt sad and angry. He wanted to win too. + +He looked at Lila. She was holding her car and laughing. He saw that her car was pale and empty. She had no fuel left. She had used it all to release her car at him. + +He had an idea. He picked up his car and ran to the can of water. He filled his car with water and ran to Lila. He threw his car at her. "Take that!" he yelled. + +His car hit her with a splash. The water from his car soaked her and made her wet and cold. She dropped her car and screamed. "Hey, that's not fair!" + +They both looked at each other. They saw that they were both wet and dirty and unhappy. They felt sorry for each other. + +They picked up their cars and hugged. "I'm sorry, Lila," Ben said. "I'm sorry, Ben," Lila said. "Let's be friends again." + +They decided to share the can of water and play together. They learned that winning was not as important as having fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and spoons and bowls and jars. They filled the jars with water and juice and milk and pretended they were soup and sauce and tea. + +"Look, I made a cake!" Lily said, holding up a plate with a slice of bread and some jam. "Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben said, reaching for the plate. But as he did, he knocked over a jar of pickles. The jar fell on the floor and broke. The pickles and the juice spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Lily said, dropping the plate. "Mommy will be mad!" + +Ben felt scared and sorry. He wanted to help Lily clean up the mess. But he also wanted to taste the pickles. He liked pickles. They were sour and crunchy. He saw one pickle on the floor, not too far from the broken jar. He thought maybe he could grab it quickly and eat it before Lily noticed. + +He crawled over to the pickle and stretched his hand. But as he touched the pickle, he felt a sharp pain in his finger. He looked and saw a piece of glass stuck in his skin. He had cut himself on the broken jar. He let go of the pickle and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he wailed. "It hurts!" + +Lily heard Ben cry and ran to him. She saw the blood on his finger and the glass on the floor. She felt sorry for Ben and angry at herself. She should have been more careful with the jars. She should have stopped Ben from reaching for the pickle. + +She hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry you got hurt. Let me see your finger. We need to get a band-aid." + +She took Ben's hand and led him to the bathroom. She washed his finger and put a band-aid on it. She kissed it and said, "There, there. It will be okay. Don't cry." + +Ben sniffled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I'm sorry I made a mess. I'm sorry I was greedy. I won't touch the jars again." + +Lily smiled and said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry I was careless. I won't leave the jars on the edge again. We can still play chefs, but we have to be more careful." + +They hugged and said, "I love you." + +They went back to the kitchen and cleaned up the mess. They threw away the broken jar and the pickles. They wiped the floor and the table. They put away the pots and the spoons and the bowls and the jars. They were glad they had each other. They were glad they had learned a lesson. They were glad Mommy didn't see. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Firework Show Tonight". Lily and Ben want to see the firework show. They ask their moms if they can go. + +Their moms say yes, but they have to be careful. Fireworks are loud and bright. They can hurt your eyes and ears. Lily and Ben say they will be careful. They are smart kids. They listen to their moms. + +Lily and Ben join their moms and go to the park. They see many people and cars. They find a good spot to sit. They wait for the firework show to start. They are excited. + +The sky is dark. Then, they hear a boom. They look up. They see a firework. It is red and green. It makes a star shape. Lily and Ben clap and cheer. They see more fireworks. They are blue and yellow. They make a smiley face. Lily and Ben laugh and smile. They see more fireworks. They are pink and purple. They make a heart shape. Lily and Ben hug their moms and say they love them. + +Lily and Ben like the firework show. They think it is pretty and fun. They are happy they joined their moms. They are smart and careful kids. They have a good night. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play and share, but sometimes they fight. Today, they fight over dessert. Mom makes a cake for them, but it is not big enough for two. She cuts it in half and gives one piece to Sara and one to Ben. + +But Sara is not happy. She thinks her piece is smaller than Ben's. She wants his piece too. She says it is not fair. She tries to grab his piece, but Ben holds it tight. He says no, it is his piece. He says they are the same size. He says she is greedy. + +Sara gets angry. She insists that she wants his piece. She pushes him and hits him. Ben cries and drops his piece. The cake falls on the floor. The dog runs and eats it. Sara and Ben are shocked. They look at the dog, then at each other, then at mom. + +Mom is very mad. She says they are naughty and rude. She says they wasted the cake and hurt each other. She says they have to go to their room and think about what they did. She says they get no dessert and no TV. She says they have to say sorry to each other. + +Sara and Ben are sad and sorry. They wish they did not fight over dessert. They wish they shared and were nice. They hug and say sorry. But it is too late. They have to go to their room and miss the fun. They learn a hard lesson. Fighting over dessert is not fair. It is not worth it. It only leads to a bad ending. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big rug in the attic. The rug had many colors and shapes on it. It looked interesting. + +"Wow, look at this rug!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and soft. Can we play on it?" + +"Sure, let's play on it!" Tom said. "We can pretend it is a magic carpet or a castle or a jungle." + +They spread the rug on the floor and started to play. They enjoyed making up stories and acting them out. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, they heard a voice from downstairs. It was Lily's mom. + +"Lily, Tom, time to go home!" she called. "It is getting dark and you have to eat dinner." + +"Okay, mom, we are coming!" Lily said. She looked at Tom and smiled. "That was a fun game, right?" + +"Yes, it was!" Tom said. He looked at the rug and frowned. "But what about the rug? Can we leave it here?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, we can't. We have to put it back where we found it. It is not ours. It belongs to someone else. Maybe it is grandma's or grandpa's. They would be sad if they lost it." + +Tom nodded. "You are right. We have to be respectful and careful with other people's things. Come on, let's fold it and put it back." + +They folded the rug and carried it back to the attic. They said goodbye to each other and went downstairs. They hugged their moms and thanked them for letting them play. + +Lily's mom and Tom's mom smiled. They were proud of their children. They knew they had learned an important lesson. They had learned to enjoy what they have, but also to respect what others have. +Lily and Max love to play with their jet. It is a big toy that can make noise and light. They pretend they are pilots and fly to different places. They move the jet up and down, left and right, fast and slow. + +One day, they decide to fly to the moon. They put on their helmets and buckle their seats. They press the buttons and the jet starts to roar. "Ready, Max?" Lily asks. "Ready, Lily!" Max answers. They count to three and zoom into the sky. + +They see the clouds, the birds, the sun, and the stars. They sing songs and tell jokes. They have a lot of fun. They look for the moon, but they cannot find it. "Where is the moon, Lily?" Max wonders. "I don't know, Max. Maybe it is hiding." Lily guesses. + +They keep flying and flying, but the moon is nowhere to be seen. They start to feel tired and hungry. They miss their home and their mom and dad. They wish they could go back. "Lily, I want to go home." Max says. "Me too, Max. Me too." Lily agrees. + +They turn the jet around and head back to earth. They see the moon behind them, smiling and waving. They wave back and say goodbye. They land the jet in their backyard and run to their house. They hug their mom and dad and tell them about their adventure. They eat their dinner and go to bed. They dream of the moon and the jet. They think it was a perfect day. +Lily and Tom were eager to help their mom cook. They liked to mix and stir and taste the food. Mom said they could make a cake today. She gave them a big bowl and some eggs. + +"Be careful with the eggs," Mom said. "They can crack and make a mess." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They took turns to hold an egg and tap it on the bowl. Lily's egg cracked easily and she poured it in the bowl. Tom's egg was harder to crack. He tapped it harder and harder. + +"Tom, stop!" Lily said. "You will break the egg too much!" + +But Tom did not stop. He tapped the egg so hard that it cracked and splattered all over his face and the table. Lily and Mom laughed. Tom was surprised and then he laughed too. + +"It's okay, Tom," Mom said. "We have more eggs. Let's clean up and try again." + +Lily and Tom wiped their faces and the table. They cracked more eggs and added flour and sugar and milk. They poured the batter in a pan and Mom put it in the oven. + +"Can we lick the bowl?" Lily and Tom asked. + +"Sure, you can," Mom said. "You did a good job helping me cook." + +Lily and Tom licked the bowl and smiled. They could not wait to eat the cake. They were eager to cook more with Mom. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They saw a shiny thing on the ground. Tom ran to pick it up. + +"Look, Anna, I found a penny!" he said, holding the small coin in his hand. + +"What is a penny?" Anna asked, looking at the shiny thing. + +"A penny is money. You can buy things with money," Tom explained. + +"Like what?" Anna wondered. + +"Like candy, or toys, or ice cream," Tom said. + +Anna's eyes grew big. She wanted candy, and toys, and ice cream. She reached for the penny. + +"Can I have it?" she asked. + +Tom pulled his hand away. He liked the penny too. He wanted to keep it. + +"No, it's mine. I found it," he said. + +Anna felt sad and angry. She wanted the penny too. She thought Tom was not nice. + +"Please, Tom, can we share it?" she begged. + +Tom shook his head. He did not want to share. He put the penny in his pocket. + +"No, go away. It's mine," he repeated. + +Anna started to cry. She ran to her mom, who was sitting on a bench nearby. She told her mom what happened. + +Mom hugged Anna and wiped her tears. She looked at Tom, who was still holding his pocket. + +"Tom, why don't you share the penny with Anna? Sharing is nice, and it makes your friends happy," she said. + +Tom shrugged. He did not care. He liked the penny more than Anna. + +"I don't want to share. It's mine," he said again. + +Mom sighed. She felt sorry for Tom. She knew he was being selfish and rude. She also knew he was uncomfortable. He did not have any friends to play with, because he did not share. + +"Tom, you can keep the penny, but you will lose Anna. She will not play with you anymore, if you are not nice to her. Is the penny worth more than a friend?" she asked. + +Tom looked at Anna, who was still crying. He looked at the penny, which was still shiny. He thought for a moment. He did not know what to do. He felt confused and unhappy. He wished he had both the penny and Anna. But he had to choose. He had to decide what was more important. He had to learn to share. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and dragons. Lila had a shield made of cardboard and Ben had a mask with horns. + +"Roar! I am a dragon and I will eat you!" Ben said, crawling on the grass. + +"No, you won't! I am a knight and I have a shield!" Lila said, holding her shield in front of her. + +They chased each other around the trees and the swings, having fun. But then, they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was not friendly. It barked and growled, showing its teeth. + +"Help! A real dragon!" Lila screamed, dropping her shield. + +"Run, Lila, run!" Ben shouted, trying to pull her away. + +But it was too late. The dog was faster and stronger. It jumped on Lila and bit her arm. Lila cried out in pain and fear. Ben ran to get help, but he was scared too. + +The dog's owner came and pulled the dog off Lila. He said he was sorry and that the dog was not original. He said he had found it on the street and tried to train it, but it was still wild. + +Lila was bleeding and hurt. She had to go to the hospital. She lost her shield and her game. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. She did not like dragons anymore. She was sad and angry. The end. +Ben and Mia were playing with their blocks. They liked to build tall towers and pretend they were in a big city. Mia made a building with a red roof and a yellow door. Ben made a building with a blue roof and a green door. + +"Look at my building, Ben. It is so pretty," Mia said. + +"Look at my building, Mia. It is so strong," Ben said. + +They were having fun, but they did not see that their dog, Rex, was getting bored. Rex wanted to play too, but he did not know how to play with blocks. He was a careless dog. He ran around the room and knocked over the blocks with his tail. + +"Oh no, Rex! You ruined our buildings!" Mia cried. + +"Bad dog, Rex! Go away!" Ben shouted. + +Rex felt sad. He did not mean to be bad. He just wanted to have fun. He ran out of the room and hid under the bed. + +Mia and Ben started to pick up the blocks and build again. They were still angry at Rex. They did not notice that the window was open and a strong wind was blowing. The wind blew a paper bag into the room. The paper bag flew around and landed on the lamp. The lamp was hot and the paper bag caught fire. + +"Fire! Fire!" Mia screamed. + +"Help! Help!" Ben yelled. + +They were scared. They did not know what to do. They ran to the door, but it was locked. They forgot to unlock it when they came in. They were trapped in the room with the fire. + +Rex heard their screams. He came out from under the bed and saw the smoke and the flames. He was a brave dog. He ran to the door and scratched it with his paws. He barked loudly to get someone's attention. + +Mom and Dad heard Rex's barks. They ran to the room and saw the fire. They quickly unlocked the door and opened it. They grabbed Mia and Ben and carried them out of the room. They called the firemen to put out the fire. + +"Are you okay, Mia and Ben?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom. We are okay," Mia and Ben said. + +They hugged Mom and Dad. They were glad they were safe. + +They looked at Rex. He was wagging his tail and licking their faces. He was a good dog. He rescued them from the fire. + +"Thank you, Rex. You are a hero," Mia and Ben said. + +They hugged Rex and gave him a treat. They were sorry they were mean to him. They learned to be more careful and to share their toys with him. They loved Rex very much. +Lily was very happy. Today was her birthday. She wanted to celebrate with her friends. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She brushed her hair with her brush. She looked in the mirror and smiled. + +She went to the living room. There were balloons and cake and presents. Her friends were there. They said, "Happy birthday, Lily!" They gave her hugs and kisses. Lily felt very special. + +They played games and sang songs. They ate cake and ice cream. Lily opened her presents. She got a doll, a book, and a hat. She thanked her friends. She was very grateful. + +Then, her mom said, "Lily, there is one more surprise for you." She brought a big box. Lily was curious. She opened the box. She saw a big teddy bear. She loved teddy bears. She hugged the bear and said, "Thank you, mom!" + +But then, she heard a loud noise. She looked at the box. There was a hole in it. She saw a tail. She heard a meow. She realized there was a cat in the box. The cat had scratched the bear. The bear had a big rip. The stuffing was coming out. Lily was shocked. She felt embarrassed. + +She said, "Oh no, my bear is broken!" She started to cry. Her friends looked at her. They felt sorry for her. They said, "Don't cry, Lily. It's okay. We can fix your bear. We can sew it. We can make it better." + +They took the bear and the box. They found a needle and a thread. They worked together. They sewed the rip. They put the stuffing back. They made the bear look good. They gave the bear back to Lily. Lily stopped crying. She smiled. She said, "Thank you, friends. You are very kind. You are the best." + +They hugged her and the bear. They said, "You're welcome, Lily. We are happy to help. You are our friend. We love you." + +They continued to celebrate. They had fun. They forgot about the cat. The cat sneaked out of the box. It found a quiet spot. It licked its paws. It was happy too. +Sara likes to count her hair with her comb. She thinks it is fun and clever. She counts one, two, three, four, five, and so on. She wants to know how many hairs she has. + +But her brother Tom does not like it. He thinks it is silly and boring. He wants to play with his cars and trucks. He says, "Stop counting your hair, Sara. It is a waste of time. Come and play with me." + +Sara says, "No, Tom. I like counting my hair. It is not a waste of time. It is interesting and smart. Go and play by yourself." + +Tom gets angry. He grabs Sara's comb and throws it away. He says, "Now you cannot count your hair anymore. Ha ha ha!" + +Sara gets sad. She cries and says, "Tom, you are mean and rude. Give me back my comb. I need it to count my hair." + +Tom says, "No, Sara. I will not give you back your comb. You have to play with me." + +Sara and Tom start to fight. They pull each other's hair and shout. They make a lot of noise. + +Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting and says, "Sara, Tom, what are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +Sara and Tom tell their mom what happened. They both say, "It is his/her fault. He/she started it." + +Their mom says, "Sara, Tom, you are both wrong. You should not fight over a comb. You should share and take turns. You should respect each other's choices. You should be kind and polite." + +Sara and Tom feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Sara/Tom. We were wrong. We will share and take turns. We will respect each other's choices. We will be kind and polite." + +Their mom says, "That is good. I am glad you learned your lesson. Now, hug and make up." + +Sara and Tom hug and make up. They say, "We love you, mom. We love you, Sara/Tom." + +Their mom says, "I love you, too. Now, you can play together or by yourselves. But please, do not fight again." + +Sara and Tom say, "OK, mom. We will not fight again." + +Sara gets her comb back and counts her hair. Tom plays with his cars and trucks. They are happy and peaceful. They are clever and good. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. Anna has a pink cup and Ben has a blue cup. They fill their cups with water and pretend to drink tea. + +One day, Anna sees a big spider on the wall. She is very scared of spiders. She screams and drops her cup. The cup breaks and the water spills on the floor. + +Ben hears Anna scream and runs to her. He sees the spider and the broken cup. He is not scared of spiders, but he is compassionate. He hugs Anna and says, "Don't worry, Anna. I will help you." + +He gets a broom and a dustpan from the kitchen. He sweeps the pieces of the cup and the spider into the dustpan. He throws them in the trash. He gets a towel and wipes the water from the floor. + +He gives Anna a new cup from the cupboard. It is yellow and has a flower on it. He says, "Here, Anna. You can have this cup. It is pretty and strong. It will not break." + +Anna smiles and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind and brave. I love you." + +They hug and continue to play with their toys. They are happy and forget about the spider. +Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they do not behave. They fight over who gets the best toy or who can play longer. + +One day, they find a new toy in their room. It is a top. It is red and shiny and spins very fast. Sam and Mia both want to play with it. They grab it from each other and pull hard. + +"Give me the top! It is mine!" Sam shouts. + +"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Mia yells. + +They pull so hard that the top breaks. It falls to the floor and stops spinning. Sam and Mia look at the broken top and feel sad. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to their room. She sees the broken top and the angry twins. She is not happy. + +"What happened here? Why did you break the top?" Mom asks. + +"Sam and Mia do not behave. They fight over the top and break it." Sam and Mia say. + +Mom shakes her head. She picks up the broken top and puts it in the trash. She tells Sam and Mia to sit on their beds and think about what they did. + +"You need to learn to share and be nice to each other. The top was a gift from Grandma. She made it for you with love. It was not rough. It was smooth and beautiful. But you were rough with it and with each other. Now you have no top and no fun. How do you feel?" Mom says. + +Sam and Mia feel sorry. They look at each other and say sorry too. They hug and promise to behave better. They ask Mom if they can have another top. Mom smiles and says maybe. But first they have to show her that they can play nicely and share their toys. Sam and Mia nod and say yes. They hope that Grandma will make them another top. They want to spin it and watch it shine. They want to be happy and make Mom and Grandma happy too. +Tim and Sam were two kids who liked to play with fire. They found a box of matches in the garage and decided to light them and see what would happen. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stay away from fire and matches. They thought it was fun to watch the flames and the smoke. + +One day, they went to the park with their matches. They saw a big pile of dry leaves and thought it would be a good place to burn them. They did not see that there was a sign that said "No fires allowed". They did not care about the rules or the danger. They lit a match and threw it on the leaves. + +Soon, the leaves caught fire and started to burn. The fire grew bigger and bigger and spread to the grass and the trees. Tim and Sam were scared and ran away. They did not tell anyone what they had done. They did not help to put out the fire. + +A polite girl named Amy saw the fire and ran to get help. She called the firemen and told them what was happening. She also told them that she saw two kids running away from the fire. She was brave and honest. + +The firemen came and put out the fire. They also found Tim and Sam hiding behind a fence. They were angry and asked them why they had started the fire. Tim and Sam lied and said they did not do it. They blamed Amy and said she was the one who burned the leaves. + +The firemen did not believe them. They knew that Amy was polite and told the truth. They also saw the matches in Tim and Sam's pockets. They took Tim and Sam to their mom and told her what they had done. Their mom was very sad and mad. She punished them and made them apologize to Amy and the firemen. She also made them pay for the damage they had caused. + +Tim and Sam learned a hard lesson. They realized that playing with fire was not fun, but dangerous and wrong. They also realized that lying and blaming others was not smart, but cowardly and mean. They wished they had listened to their mom and been polite like Amy. + +The moral of the story is: Fire can burn and hurt. Do not play with fire or matches. Listen to your mom and follow the rules. Be polite and tell the truth. Do not lie or blame others. +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They liked to dig in the dirt and find worms and rocks. They also liked to mix water and dirt in a big bucket and make mud pies. + +"Look, I made a big mud pie!" Lily said, holding up her creation. "It has a worm and a leaf on top." + +"Wow, that's a great mud pie!" Max said. "Can I have a bite?" + +Lily laughed. "No, silly, you can't eat mud pies. They are only for pretend." + +Max nodded. He looked around and saw a big oak tree. He had an idea. "Let's make a tree house with mud pies!" he said. + +"A tree house with mud pies?" Lily asked. "How do we do that?" + +Max pointed to the oak tree. "We can climb up there and stick mud pies on the branches. Then we can have a secret place to play." + +Lily liked the idea. She followed Max to the oak tree. They climbed up carefully and started to stick mud pies on the branches. They had fun making walls and windows and a door. + +But soon they realized that the mud pies were not very good for building. They were wet and heavy and kept falling off. They also made the branches slippery and dirty. Lily and Max felt uncomfortable and sticky. + +"Maybe this was not a good idea," Lily said. "The mud pies are not staying on the tree. And we are getting all messy." + +"Yeah, you're right," Max said. "The mud pies are better for the ground. And we are too high up. I'm scared." + +Lily and Max decided to climb down the oak tree. They were careful not to slip or drop any mud pies. When they reached the ground, they ran to the hose and washed off the mud. They felt much better. + +"Next time, let's make something else with mud pies," Lily said. + +"Like what?" Max asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. "Maybe a castle or a car or a dinosaur," she said. + +Max smiled. "That sounds fun," he said. "Let's do that tomorrow." + +Lily and Max hugged and went inside. They had a good day playing with mud pies. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was their big, soft blanket. They liked to make a tent with the blanket and pretend they were in a forest or a castle. + +One day, they decided to play a game of hide and seek with the blanket. Tom said, "I will count to ten and you hide under the blanket. Then I will try to find you." Lily nodded and ran to the blanket. She crawled under it and made a small hole to peek out. + +Tom counted to ten and then said, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looked around the room and saw the blanket. He smiled and walked towards it. He thought he would surprise Lily by jumping on the blanket and saying, "Boo!" + +But as he got closer, he heard a strange noise. It sounded like a growl. He stopped and felt scared. He wondered what was under the blanket. Maybe it was a lion or a bear. He wished he had not played this game. + +He was about to run away when he heard Lily giggle. He realized it was her who made the noise. She had tricked him. He felt silly and angry. He sprang on the blanket and shouted, "Boo!" Lily screamed and then laughed. She said, "You were scared, weren't you?" Tom said, "No, I wasn't. You were scared, weren't you?" They both laughed and hugged. + +They learned that it was fun to play with the blanket, but not to scare each other too much. They also learned that sometimes things are not what they seem. They decided to play a different game with the blanket, one that was more fun and less scary. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a furry animal under a tree. It has a long tail and big ears. + +"Look, Lily, a bunny!" Tom says. + +"Can we have it?" Lily asks. + +Tom nods. He goes to the animal and tries to pick it up. But the animal is scared. It bites Tom's thumb and runs away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cries. He holds his thumb and shows it to Lily. + +Lily feels sorry for Tom. She hugs him and says, "It's OK, Tom. I have a band-aid in my pocket. Let me help you." + +She takes out a band-aid and puts it on Tom's thumb. She kisses it and says, "There, all better." + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend." + +They hold hands and go to the swings. They forget about the furry animal. They have fun in the park. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a secret fort where they kept their toys and snacks. One day, they found a big basket of fruit and bread near their fort. They did not know who left it there, but they were hungry and happy. + +"Let's eat this yummy meal!" Tom said. + +"Wait, maybe it is not for us. Maybe it is for someone else. Someone unknown." Sam said. + +"Who cares? We found it, we eat it. That is the rule of the woods." Tom said. He grabbed an apple and bit into it. + +Sam was not sure, but he did not want to be left out. He took a banana and peeled it. He was about to eat it when he heard a loud roar. + +A big bear came out of the bushes. It saw the basket and the boys. It was angry and hungry. It wanted the meal for itself. + +"Run!" Sam shouted. + +Tom dropped the apple and ran after Sam. They left the basket behind. The bear chased them, but they were faster. They reached their fort and climbed inside. They locked the door and hoped the bear would go away. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to yield to the unknown. They learned to be careful and not take what is not theirs. They learned to share and be thankful for what they have. +Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him a name: Bob. They liked Bob very much. He was their friend. + +But the sun was shining and the snow was getting warm. Bob started to melt. His hat fell off, his scarf got wet and his carrot nose dropped. Anna and Ben were sad. They did not want to lose Bob. + +They ran to their mom and asked for help. Mom was kind. She said they could not stop Bob from melting, but they could make him a new body. She gave them a big bowl and some ice cream. She said they could scoop the ice cream and make a new snowman. + +Anna and Ben were happy. They thanked mom and ran back to the snow. They scooped the ice cream and made a new body for Bob. They put his hat, his scarf and his carrot nose back on. They hugged him and said they loved him. + +Bob was happy too. He felt cold and sweet. He smiled and winked at them. He said he loved them too. He said he did not mind melting, because he knew they would always remember him. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, balls, dolls, and a rod. The rod is long and hard. It is for fishing. + +One day, Tom and Sam are playing with the rod. They pretend it is a sword. They swing it and hit the air. They say, "I am a knight! I am a pirate!" They have fun. + +But then, Mom comes out. She is angry. She says, "Boys, stop playing with the rod! It is not a toy! It is dangerous! You can hurt yourself or break something! Put it back in the shed and tidy up your toys!" + +Tom and Sam do not listen. They say, "No, Mom, we want to play! It is fun! Go away!" They keep playing with the rod. + +Mom is very angry. She says, "Boys, I am counting to three. If you do not stop, you will be in big trouble. One, two, three!" + +Tom and Sam still do not stop. They laugh and run away. They do not see the window behind them. They swing the rod and strike the window. The window breaks. Glass falls everywhere. Mom screams. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They drop the rod and run to Mom. They say, "Sorry, Mom, sorry! We did not mean to break the window! We were just playing!" + +Mom is not happy. She says, "Boys, you are very naughty. You did not listen to me. You played with something you should not. You broke the window. You made a big mess. You are in big trouble. You have to go to your room. No toys, no TV, no dessert. And you have to pay for the window with your allowance." + +Tom and Sam cry. They say, "No, Mom, no! That is not fair! We are sorry! Please, Mom, please!" + +Mom does not change her mind. She says, "No, boys, no. You have to learn your lesson. Go to your room now. And do not come out until I say so." + +Tom and Sam go to their room. They are sad. They have no fun. They have a bad ending. +Tim and Ben are friends. They like to play baseball in the park. They have a bat, a ball and a glove. They take turns to hit and catch. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He is thin and has glasses. He sits on a bench and reads a book. Tim and Ben want to play with him. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Tim asks the new boy. + +"Sam," the new boy says. + +"Do you want to play baseball with us?" Ben asks. + +Sam looks at them and shakes his head. "No, thank you. I don't like baseball. I like to read." + +Tim and Ben are surprised. They think baseball is fun and reading is boring. + +"Why don't you like baseball?" Tim asks. + +"It is too hard and too noisy. I like to read because it is easy and quiet. I can learn many things from books," Sam says. + +Tim and Ben don't understand. They think baseball is easy and reading is hard. They don't know what to say. + +They decide to leave Sam alone and play baseball by themselves. They run to the field and hit and catch. They have fun. + +Sam watches them from the bench. He smiles and turns the page. He has fun too. +Tim and Kim were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, Tim had a new toy car that he got for his birthday. It was shiny and fast and made a loud noise. Kim wanted to play with it too, but Tim did not want to share. + +"Can I have a turn with your car, Tim?" Kim asked. + +"No, it is mine. Go away," Tim said. + +"Please, Tim, just for a little bit. I will be careful," Kim begged. + +"No, no, no. You have your own toys. Leave me alone," Tim shouted. + +Kim felt sad and angry. She thought Tim was being grumpy and mean. She decided to take the car when Tim was not looking. She grabbed it and ran away. + +Tim saw Kim running with his car and got very mad. He chased after her and yelled, "Give me back my car, Kim. You are a thief. You are not my friend anymore." + +Kim did not listen. She kept running until she reached the edge of the park. There was a big hole in the ground where some workers were digging. Kim did not see the hole and tripped over it. She fell in and dropped the car. The car broke into pieces. + +Kim cried and cried. She was hurt and scared. She wanted Tim to help her, but Tim was not there. He had stopped chasing her when he saw the hole. He was too afraid to go near it. He only cared about his car. + +He saw the car broken on the ground and cried too. He wished he had been nicer to Kim. He wished he had lent her the car for a little bit. He wished they were still friends. But it was too late. He had lost his car and his friend. He was alone and sad. +Ben is a big boy who goes to school. He likes to play with his friends and learn new things. But he does not like math. Math is hard and boring. He does not understand the numbers and the shapes. + +One day, his teacher tells him that he has to take a test on math. Ben is scared. He does not want to fail the test. He does not want to make his teacher and his parents sad. He does not know what to do. + +His teacher sees that Ben is scared. She says, "Don't worry, Ben. I have a good idea. You can have a tutor to help you with math. A tutor is a person who knows math very well and can teach you. He will come to your house and prepare you for the test. He will make math fun and easy for you." + +Ben is not sure. He says, "But who is the tutor? Is he nice? Is he scary?" + +The teacher says, "The tutor is Mr. Fox. He is very nice and friendly. He is not scary at all. He likes to tell jokes and play games. He also likes to give stickers and candy to his students. You will like him, Ben. Trust me." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He does not want to be scared of math anymore. He wants to do well on the test. He wants to make his teacher and his parents proud. He says, "Okay, teacher. I will try the tutor. When will he come?" + +The teacher says, "He will come tomorrow after school. He will bring his books and his toys. He will stay with you for one hour. You will have fun and learn a lot, Ben. I promise." + +Ben smiles. He feels a little better. He says, "Thank you, teacher. You are very kind. I will do my best with the tutor. Maybe math is not so bad after all." +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to read stories. One day, they found a big book of stories in the attic. They opened it and saw many pictures of animals and people. + +"Let's read this story," Tom said. He pointed to a picture of a lion and a mouse. "It looks fun." + +"OK," Sam said. He sat next to Tom and listened. + +Tom read the story. It was about a lion who caught a mouse. The mouse begged the lion to let him go. He said he would help the lion someday. The lion laughed and said he did not need the mouse's help. But he was not hungry, so he let the mouse go. + +The mouse thanked the lion and ran away. He said he would not forget the lion's kindness. + +Tom and Sam liked the story. They turned the page and saw another picture. It was of the same lion and mouse, but this time the lion was in trouble. He was caught in a net. He roared and struggled, but he could not escape. + +"Look, Sam," Tom said. "The lion is in trouble. Do you think the mouse will help him?" + +"I don't know," Sam said. "Maybe he is scared of the lion. Maybe he is angry at the lion. Maybe he forgot the lion." + +They read on. The mouse heard the lion's roar. He remembered the lion's kindness. He ran to the net and saw the lion. He was not scared. He was not angry. He did not forget. + +He said to the lion, "Don't worry, I will help you. You were kind to me, and I will be kind to you." + +He bit the net with his sharp teeth. He made a hole in the net. He told the lion to crawl out. The lion did. He was free. + +He thanked the mouse and said, "You are a true friend. You helped me when I needed you. You are brave and smart. I was wrong to laugh at you. I am sorry." + +The mouse said, "You are welcome. You were kind to me when I could not help you. You are strong and generous. I am glad to be your friend." + +They hugged and said goodbye. They went their own ways, but they never forgot each other. + +Tom and Sam closed the book. They smiled and said, "That was a good story. We learned something." + +"What did we learn?" Tom asked. + +"We learned that kindness is important. We learned that size does not matter. We learned that friends can help each other. We learned that everyone can escape from trouble with a little help," Sam said. + +"Yes, we did," Tom said. "Let's read another story tomorrow." + +They put the book back in the attic. They went downstairs and had dinner. They were happy and hungry. +Lily and Mia were sisters who liked to play dress-up. They had a big box of makeup that their mom gave them. They liked to put on lipstick, eyeshadow, and blush. Sometimes they pretended to be princesses, or fairies, or singers. + +One day, they decided to play dress-up in their room. They took out the makeup box and opened it. But they saw something strange. There was a dark shadow in the corner of the box. It looked like a spider. + +"Look, Mia, a spider!" Lily said, pointing at the shadow. + +"Where?" Mia asked, looking at the box. + +"Right there, in the corner. It's big and dark and scary!" Lily said, backing away. + +Mia leaned closer to the box. She wanted to see the spider. She was not afraid of spiders. She liked to catch them and look at them. She thought they were interesting. + +But when she looked at the shadow, she saw that it was not a spider. It was something else. It was a necklace. A shiny necklace with a big purple stone. It sparkled in the light. + +"It's not a spider, Lily. It's a necklace. A pretty necklace. Look!" Mia said, picking up the necklace and holding it up. + +Lily looked at the necklace. She saw that Mia was right. It was not a spider. It was a necklace. A pretty necklace. She wondered how it got in the box. She wondered if it belonged to their mom. + +"Wow, it's so pretty. Can I try it on?" Lily asked, reaching for the necklace. + +"Sure, you can try it on. But be careful. It might be magic." Mia said, handing the necklace to Lily. + +"Magic? How do you know?" Lily asked, putting the necklace around her neck. + +"I don't know. I just have a feeling. Maybe it can make wishes come true. Or maybe it can change your color. Or maybe it can make you fly." Mia said, making up stories. + +Lily smiled. She liked Mia's stories. She liked to pretend. She looked at herself in the mirror. She saw the necklace shining on her chest. She felt special. She felt like a princess. + +She closed her eyes and made a wish. She wished that she and Mia could play dress-up forever. She wished that they could always have fun. She wished that they could always be sisters. + +She opened her eyes and looked at Mia. Mia looked at her and smiled. + +"Did you make a wish?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, I did. Did you?" Lily replied. + +"Yes, I did. Do you want to know what it was?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, please. Tell me." Lily replied. + +Mia leaned closer to Lily and whispered in her ear. + +"I wished that we could share the necklace. And that we could always be happy. And that we could always love each other." Mia said. + +Lily hugged Mia and kissed her cheek. + +"I wished the same thing." Lily said. + +They smiled at each other and laughed. They put on more makeup and played dress-up. They did not know that the necklace was magic. They did not know that their wishes would come true. They did not know that their mom was watching them from the door. They did not know that she was smiling and crying at the same time. They did not know that the necklace was her gift to them. They did not know that she loved them more than anything. They only knew that they were happy. And that they loved each other. And that they had a pretty necklace. And that they were sisters. +Tommy liked to look at the stars at night. He wondered what was out there in the big, dark universe. He asked his grandma, who was elderly and wise, to tell him stories about the stars. + +"Grandma, what are those bright dots in the sky?" Tommy asked. + +"Those are stars, Tommy. They are very far away, but they shine like little candles. They are made of fire and gas, and some of them have planets around them," Grandma said. + +"Wow, fire and gas? Can we go there, Grandma?" Tommy asked. + +"No, Tommy, we can't go there. They are too far and too hot for us. But we can imagine what they are like, and maybe someday we will learn more about them," Grandma said. + +"Can we imagine together, Grandma?" Tommy asked. + +"Of course, Tommy. Let's imagine together. What do you think the planets are like?" Grandma asked. + +Tommy closed his eyes and imagined. He saw a planet with green grass and blue water, where animals and people lived happily. He saw a planet with red rocks and dust, where robots explored and sent messages. He saw a planet with rings and moons, where ice and snow sparkled. He saw a planet with purple clouds and storms, where strange creatures flew and sang. + +He opened his eyes and smiled. He told Grandma what he imagined, and she smiled too. She hugged him and said, "You have a wonderful imagination, Tommy. The universe is full of wonders, and so are you." +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She saw his feet under the big bush. She ran to the bush and shouted, "I found you, Ben! You have to surrender!" + +Ben crawled out of the bush and said, "OK, OK, you win, Lily. You are a good seeker. But I have a surprise for you. Come with me." He took Lily's hand and led her to the porch. There was a small box wrapped in paper and a bow. "This is for you, Lily. I made it myself. It is a perfume. You can spray it on your neck and smell nice." + +Lily opened the box and saw a little bottle with a spray. She smelled it and smiled. It smelled like flowers and honey. She sprayed some on her neck and said, "Thank you, Ben. This is a lovely perfume. You are very thoughtful. How did you make it?" + +Ben said, "I used some water and some petals and some honey. I mixed them in a jar and shook it. Then I poured it in the bottle and put a spray on it. I hope you like it." + +Lily hugged Ben and said, "I love it, Ben. You are the best brother ever. Can I give you a kiss?" Ben nodded and Lily kissed him on the cheek. They both laughed and went back to play. +Sam and Lily were walking with their mom to the park. They saw a big billboard on the way. It had a picture of a pizza and some words. Sam could not read the words, but he knew what pizza was. He liked pizza. He felt hungry. + +"Mom, can we have pizza for lunch?" he asked. + +"No, Sam, we have sandwiches at home. Pizza is not good for you every day. It has too much cheese and salt. You need to eat healthy food to grow big and strong," mom said. + +"But I want pizza! I want pizza!" Sam cried. He stamped his feet and crossed his arms. + +Lily looked at Sam and shook her head. She was not hungry. She had eaten a banana before they left. She liked sandwiches. She did not like pizza. She thought pizza was too hot and greasy. She wanted to go to the park and play on the swings. + +"Sam, stop being silly. Pizza is not good for you. Mom is right. You need to eat healthy food to grow big and strong. Look at the billboard. It is trying to trick you. It is making the pizza look bigger and nicer than it really is. It is not real. It is just a picture," she said. + +Sam looked at the billboard again. He saw that Lily was right. The pizza was not real. It was just a picture. He felt a little silly. He stopped crying and uncrossed his arms. + +"Sorry, mom. Sorry, Lily. I guess I was too hungry. I don't need pizza. I can eat sandwiches. Can we go to the park now?" he asked. + +Mom smiled and hugged Sam and Lily. She was proud of them. They were growing big and smart. She said yes, they could go to the park now. They walked to the park and had fun on the swings. They forgot about the billboard and the pizza. They were happy. +Lily was a little girl who did not like to bathe. She thought it was boring and cold and she did not want to use soap. She liked to play in the dirt and mud with her dog, Spot. She did not care if she was dirty or smelly. + +One day, Lily and Spot went to the park and had fun. They ran and jumped and rolled in the grass. They found a big pile of leaves and hid in it. They did not see the bugs that were in the leaves. The bugs bit Lily and Spot all over. They made them itch and hurt. + +When Lily and Spot came home, they were very itchy. They scratched and scratched, but it did not help. Lily's mom saw them and said, "Oh, no! You have bug bites! You need to bathe right now and use soap. It will make you feel better and get rid of the bugs." + +Lily did not want to bathe. She said, "No, mom! I don't like to bathe! It's dark and scary in the bathroom. I want to stay with Spot. He is my friend." + +Lily's mom said, "Lily, you have to bathe. It's not dark and scary in the bathroom. I will turn on the light and stay with you. Spot can bathe too. He is your friend, but he is also dirty and itchy. He needs to be clean and healthy. Trust me, you will both feel much better after you bathe." + +Lily and Spot did not like it, but they listened to Lily's mom. They went to the bathroom and got in the tub. Lily's mom turned on the light and filled the tub with warm water and bubbles. She gave Lily and Spot soap and a sponge and helped them wash their hair and body. She sang a song and made them laugh. Lily and Spot started to enjoy the bath. They splashed and played and made bubbles. They forgot about the itch and the bugs. + +When they were done, Lily's mom dried them with a towel and put lotion on their bites. She said, "See, Lily? Bathing is not so bad. It's fun and good for you. You and Spot are clean and happy now. You don't itch anymore and the bugs are gone. Don't you feel better?" + +Lily and Spot nodded and smiled. They hugged Lily's mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You were right. Bathing is fun and good for us. We feel better. We love you." + +Lily's mom said, "I love you too, Lily and Spot. I'm glad you bathed. Next time, don't play in the leaves with bugs. And remember to bathe every day. It will keep you and Spot healthy and happy." + +Lily and Spot learned their lesson. They never played in the leaves with bugs again. And they bathed every day. They were healthy and happy and never itchy. + +The end. +Timmy loved peanuts. He ate them every day for snack. He liked to crack them open and munch on the nuts inside. He had a big jar of peanuts in his room. + +One day, his sister Molly came into his room. She saw the jar of peanuts and wanted some. She asked Timmy, "Can I have some peanuts, please?" + +Timmy ignored her. He did not want to share his peanuts. He said, "No, these are mine. Go away." + +Molly felt sad and angry. She said, "That's not nice. You should share. Mommy says sharing is good." + +Timmy ignored her again. He turned his back to her and kept eating his peanuts. He said, "I don't care. These are mine. Go away." + +Molly had an idea. She saw a rubber snake on the floor. She picked it up and hid it behind her back. She said, "Okay, fine. I'll go away. But first, look what I found." + +Timmy was curious. He turned around and looked at Molly. He said, "What did you find?" + +Molly smiled and threw the rubber snake at Timmy. She said, "A snake!" + +Timmy screamed and dropped his peanuts. He thought the snake was real. He ran out of his room, crying. + +Molly laughed and picked up the jar of peanuts. She said, "Now these are mine. That's what you get for being mean." + +Timmy was miserable. He wished he had shared his peanuts. He learned a lesson. He should not ignore his sister. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big kangaroo with a baby in her pouch. They wanted to pet the kangaroo, but they were afraid. + +"Hello, kangaroo," Lily said. "Can we be your friends?" + +The kangaroo looked at them and shrugged. She did not care. She was busy eating grass. + +Max was brave. He took a step closer to the kangaroo. He reached out his hand to touch her fur. + +"Max, be careful!" Lily said. "She might kick you!" + +But the kangaroo did not kick Max. She let him pet her gently. She was a humble kangaroo. She did not mind sharing her space. + +Lily smiled. She joined Max and petted the kangaroo too. The baby peeked out of the pouch and made a cute noise. + +"Hello, baby," Lily said. "You are so sweet." + +The baby liked Lily and Max. He wanted to play with them. He hopped out of the pouch and bounced around them. + +Lily and Max laughed. They had fun with the kangaroo and her baby. They forgot their fear. They made new friends. +Lily and Tom were at the park with their mom. They saw a big slide that looked like fun. Lily wanted to go on the slide, but Tom was scared. + +"Come on, Tom, let's slide!" Lily said. "It's not scary, it's fun!" + +But Tom shook his head. He felt an urge to run away. He thought the slide was too high and too fast. He saw some ugly bugs on the slide and he did not like them. + +"No, Lily, I don't want to slide!" Tom said. "The slide is too high and too fast and there are ugly bugs on it! I want to play with the swings!" + +Lily was sad. She wanted to play with Tom, but she also wanted to slide. She looked at the slide and saw how shiny and smooth it was. She felt an urge to slide. + +"Please, Tom, just try it once!" Lily said. "The slide is not too high or too fast and the bugs are not ugly, they are just small. I will slide with you and hold your hand!" + +Tom looked at Lily and saw how happy she was. He did not want to make her sad. He felt an urge to be brave. + +"Okay, Lily, I will try it once!" Tom said. "But you have to hold my hand and go slow!" + +Lily smiled and hugged Tom. She took his hand and led him to the slide. They climbed up the steps and sat on the slide. Lily held Tom's hand and said, "Ready, set, go!" + +They slid down the slide together, feeling the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and screamed with joy. They reached the bottom and jumped off the slide. + +"That was fun!" Lily said. "Do you want to slide again?" + +Tom nodded. He felt an urge to slide again. He did not feel scared anymore. He did not mind the bugs anymore. He thought the slide was fun. + +"Yes, Lily, I want to slide again!" Tom said. "Let's slide again and again and again!" + +They ran back to the slide and slid again and again and again. They had a lot of fun. Their mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of them. She thought they were brave and kind. She thought they were the best. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a ball, a cap and a rope. They took turns to throw the ball, wear the cap and jump over the rope. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they saw a big pond in the park. It had water, fish and ducks. Tom and Sam wanted to see the pond. They ran to the pond and looked at it. They saw how deep it was. They saw how shiny it was. They saw how nice it was. + +"Let's jump in the pond!" Tom said. He wanted to swim with the fish and the ducks. He wanted to feel the water. He took off his cap and threw it on the grass. He ran to the pond and jumped in. + +"Tom, no!" Sam said. He knew that the pond was not for jumping. He knew that the pond was not for swimming. He knew that the pond was not for playing. He knew that the pond was dangerous. He ran to the pond and looked for Tom. He saw Tom in the water. He saw Tom splashing and shouting. He saw Tom scared and cold. + +"Help me, Sam!" Tom said. He realized that he made a mistake. He realized that he could not swim. He realized that he could not breathe. He realized that he needed help. + +Sam was brave and smart. He did not jump in the pond. He looked for a stick. He found a long and strong stick. He held the stick and reached out to Tom. He told Tom to grab the stick. He pulled Tom out of the pond. He hugged Tom and dried him with his cap. He helped Tom to calm down and warm up. + +"Thank you, Sam!" Tom said. He was sorry and grateful. He was sorry for jumping in the pond. He was grateful for Sam's help. He learned a lesson. He learned to be careful and listen. He learned to respect and appreciate. He learned to be a good friend. +Sara and Tom wanted to play on the raft. They went to the lake with their mom. But the raft was not free. They had to pay money to use it. + +"Mom, can we pay for the raft?" Sara asked. + +"Sorry, kids, I don't have enough money today. Maybe next time," Mom said. + +Sara and Tom felt sad. They wanted to have fun on the raft. They saw other kids on the raft. They looked happy. + +"Can we ask them to share?" Tom said. + +"OK, let's try," Sara said. + +They walked to the raft. They saw a boy and a girl on it. The boy was grumpy. He did not want to share. + +"Go away! This is our raft! We paid for it!" the boy said. + +The girl was nice. She wanted to share. + +"Don't be mean, Jake. They can play with us. There is enough room," the girl said. + +"Fine, but only for a little bit," Jake said. + +Sara and Tom thanked the girl. They climbed on the raft. They had fun on the raft. They splashed water and sang songs. The girl joined them. Jake was still grumpy. He did not like to share. + +The end. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with paper and crayons. They print many things on the paper. They print cars, trees, flowers, and animals. They have fun. + +One day, they want to print a city. A city is a big place with many buildings and people. They see a city on TV. They think it is cool. They want to make their own city. + +They get a big paper. They print many buildings on the paper. They use different colors. They print windows, doors, and roofs. They print roads and bridges. They print cars and buses. They print people and dogs. They print a park and a fountain. They print a sun and a sky. They are happy. + +They show their city to Mom. Mom smiles. She says, "Wow, you made a beautiful city! You are very creative. I am proud of you." + +Tom and Jen say, "Thank you, Mom. We worked hard. We like our city. Can we hang it on the wall?" + +Mom says, "Of course, you can. Let me help you. It is a hot day. Do you want some water and ice cream?" + +Tom and Jen say, "Yes, please. We are thirsty and hungry. We love water and ice cream." + +Mom says, "OK, let's go to the kitchen. Then we can look at your city again. It is amazing." + +Tom and Jen hug Mom. They are happy. They love Mom. They love their city. They love to print. +Anna and Ben were bored. They had to go with Mom to the market. The market was far and the sky was gloomy. They wanted to stay home and play with their toys. + +"Mom, can we go back?" Ben asked. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We need to buy some food for dinner. Look, there are some apples and bananas. Do you want some?" Mom said. + +Anna and Ben shook their heads. They did not like fruits. They liked cookies and candy. + +"Mom, can we have some cookies and candy?" Anna asked. She pointed to a stall that had many colorful sweets. + +Mom smiled and said, "Maybe later, if you are good. But first, we need to get some bread and cheese and eggs. Come on, let's go." + +Anna and Ben sighed and followed Mom. They hoped the market would end soon. They were tired and hungry and gloomy. They wished the sun would come out and make them happy. +Tim and Lily are playing a game. They have cards with animals on them. They take turns to show a card and make the sound of the animal. The one who guesses the most animals wins. + +Tim shows a card with a cow. He says, "Moo, moo!" Lily laughs and says, "That is a cow! I know it!" She gets a point. + +Lily shows a card with a duck. She says, "Quack, quack!" Tim thinks hard and says, "That is a duck! I know it!" He gets a point. + +They keep playing until they have no more cards. They count their points. Tim has four points and Lily has five points. Lily jumps up and says, "I win! I win! I have more points than you!" + +Tim feels sad. He wanted to win. He says, "No fair! You have more cards than me!" He looks at Lily's cards and sees that she has one extra card. It is a card with a monkey. He says, "Hey, that is not an animal! That is a monkey! You cheated!" + +Lily giggles and says, "No, I did not cheat! That is a funny card. It is a joke card. It is not part of the game. I just wanted to make you laugh." + +Tim looks at the card and sees that the monkey is wearing a hat and a tie. He thinks it is funny too. He laughs and says, "OK, you did not cheat. You just made a joke. That is a funny card. You are a funny girl." + +Lily smiles and says, "Thank you. You are a funny boy. I like playing with you. You are a good friend." + +Tim smiles and says, "Thank you. I like playing with you too. You are a good friend. Can we play again?" + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, we can play again. But this time, let's share the cards. Then we can both have a chance to win." + +Tim agrees and says, "OK, let's share the cards. Then we can both have a chance to win. And we can both have fun." + +They hug and say, "Yay!" They receive a victory of friendship. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pumpkin in the garden. It was orange and round. + +"Let's make a face on the pumpkin!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Tom said. They got a knife and a spoon from the kitchen. They were careless. They did not ask their mom or dad. + +They cut a hole in the pumpkin. They scooped out the seeds. They made two eyes, a nose and a mouth. They put a candle inside. The pumpkin looked funny. + +"Wow, it's a jack-o-lantern!" Lily said. + +"Let's put it on the porch!" Tom said. They carried the pumpkin outside. They were happy. + +But then, it started to rain. The rain was cold and wet. It poured on the pumpkin. The candle went out. The pumpkin got soggy. + +"Oh no, our jack-o-lantern!" Lily said. + +"It's ruined!" Tom said. They were sad. + +They heard their mom calling them. "Lily, Tom, come inside! It's raining!" + +They ran inside. They were wet and muddy. They saw their mom's face. She was angry. + +"What did you do with the pumpkin?" she asked. + +"We made a jack-o-lantern!" Lily said. + +"But you were careless! You did not ask me or dad! You used a knife and a spoon! You could have hurt yourself!" mom said. + +"We're sorry, mom!" Lily and Tom said. + +Mom sighed. She hugged them. "I'm glad you're safe. But next time, please be careful and ask before you do something like that. OK?" + +"OK, mom!" Lily and Tom said. + +They learned their lesson. They never made a jack-o-lantern without asking again. +Rae was a thin raven who liked to cook. She had a big pot and a small fire. She put water and seeds and berries in the pot. She stirred and stirred. She wanted to make soup for her friends. + +But Rae had a problem. She had no friends. She lived alone in a dark forest. She was sad and lonely. She wished she had someone to talk to and share her soup with. + +One day, she heard a knock on her door. She opened it and saw a big bear. The bear was hungry and smelled the soup. He smiled and said, "Hello, little raven. What are you cooking?" + +Rae was scared of the bear, but she was also polite. She said, "Hello, big bear. I am cooking soup. Do you want some?" + +The bear nodded and said, "Yes, please. I am very hungry. Can I come in?" + +Rae thought for a moment. She remembered that bears were strong and fierce. She wondered if the bear would eat her soup and then eat her too. But she also remembered that she had no friends. She wondered if the bear could be her friend. She decided to take a chance. She said, "Yes, you can come in. But you have to be nice and gentle. And you have to share the soup with me." + +The bear agreed and followed Rae inside. He sat down and waited for the soup. Rae poured some soup into a bowl and gave it to the bear. She poured some soup into another bowl and kept it for herself. They ate and talked. They found out that they had some things in common. They both liked seeds and berries. They both liked to tell stories. They both felt lonely in the forest. + +They finished the soup and thanked each other. They smiled and said, "You are a good cook, little raven." And, "You are a good friend, big bear." They decided to visit each other again. They hugged and said goodbye. + +Rae was happy. She had made a new friend. She had shared her soup. She had learned that sometimes, big and small, thin and fat, raven and bear, can get along. She looked forward to the next day. She thought of what else she could cook for the bear. She thought of what else they could talk about. She closed her door and went to sleep. She dreamed of soup and friendship. +Tim was very happy. He had a new bike. It was red and shiny. He wanted to ride it to the park with his dad. He put on his helmet and gloves. He was ready to go. + +But there was a problem. There was a lot of traffic on the road. Cars and trucks and buses were making loud noises. They were moving very slow. Tim and his dad had to wait and wait. Tim was bored and sad. He wanted to ride his bike fast and have fun. + +Tim started to cry. He did not like the traffic. He did not like to wait. He wanted to go to the park now. He suffered a lot. He threw a tantrum. He kicked his bike and his dad. He screamed and shouted. + +His dad was angry and tired. He tried to calm Tim down. He told him to be patient and polite. He said the traffic would clear soon. He said the park was not far away. He said they would have a good time. + +But Tim did not listen. He was too upset. He did not care about the park. He did not care about his dad. He only cared about his new bike. He was very selfish and rude. He made a big mess. He ruined his day. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big red ball. It belongs to another boy. He is not looking. + +"Let's take the ball!" Ben says. He is naughty. + +"No, that is bad. That is stealing," Anna says. She is good. + +But Ben does not listen. He runs and grabs the ball. He laughs. The other boy sees him. He is angry. He shouts and chases Ben. + +"Give me back my ball!" he says. + +Ben is scared. He tries to escape. He runs and runs. But he is not fast. The other boy is faster. He catches Ben. He takes the ball. He pushes Ben. Ben falls. He cries. + +Anna sees everything. She feels sorry for Ben. She goes to help him. She is graceful. She is kind. + +"Are you okay?" she asks. + +Ben nods. He is sorry. He knows he was wrong. + +"I'm sorry. I was bad. I won't steal again," he says. + +Anna smiles. She hugs him. She is forgiving. + +"It's okay. I'm still your friend. But don't steal again. It's not nice," she says. + +Ben nods. He smiles. He is happy. He has a good friend. He learns a lesson. +Mia and Leo were playing in the backyard after dinner. They liked to look at the sky and see the stars and the moon. The moon was big and bright and round. + +"Look, Mia, the moon is smiling at us!" Leo said, pointing at the moon. + +Mia nodded. "Yes, it is. The moon is our friend. Do you think the moon is lonely up there?" + +Leo thought for a moment. "Maybe. Maybe the moon wants to play with us too." + +Mia had an idea. "Let's suggest a game to the moon. Maybe the moon will like it." + +"What game?" Leo asked. + +Mia looked around and saw a ball. "How about catch? We can throw the ball to the moon and the moon can throw it back to us." + +Leo liked the idea. "Okay, let's try. You go first, Mia." + +Mia picked up the ball and threw it as high as she could. "Catch, moon, catch!" she shouted. + +The ball flew up in the air and then came down again. Mia caught it and smiled. + +"Wow, that was incredible!" Leo said. "The moon is good at catch. My turn!" + +Leo took the ball and threw it to the moon. "Here you go, moon, here you go!" + +The ball went up and down again. Leo caught it and laughed. + +"Yay, the moon is playing with us!"

See you tomorrow." +Tom and Mia liked to play in the park. They had a big pole that they used as a sword. They pretended to be knights and fight dragons and monsters. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they saw a big dog in the park. It was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and ran towards them. Tom and Mia were scared. They did not like the dog. + +"Quick, Mia, hide behind the pole!" Tom said. He held the pole like a sword and stood in front of Mia. He wanted to protect her from the dog. + +The dog came closer and closer. It growled and showed its teeth. Tom was brave. He waved the pole and shouted, "Go away, dog! You are not nice! Leave us alone!" + +The dog stopped and looked at Tom. It was confused. It did not understand why Tom was waving a pole and shouting. It tilted its head and sniffed the air. It smelled something good. + +It was a man with a bag of treats. He was the dog's owner. He had been looking for the dog. He called the dog's name and whistled. The dog wagged its tail and ran to the man. The man gave the dog a treat and said, "Sorry, kids, he is not mean, he just likes to play. He is very friendly." + +Tom and Mia watched the dog and the man. They were relieved. They were not scared anymore. They smiled and said, "It's okay, mister, we understand. He is a good dog." + +The man and the dog left the park. Tom and Mia hugged each other. They were happy. They went back to playing with the pole. They were calm and safe. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new swing. Anna runs to the swing and seats on it. She says, "This is my swing. I saw it first. You can't have it." + +Ben feels sad. He wants to swing too. He says, "Anna, can we share the swing? We can take turns. That is fair and nice." + +Anna shakes her head. She says, "No, this is my swing. Go away. Find another swing." + +Ben walks away. He looks for another swing. But he can't find any. All the swings are taken by other kids. He sits on a bench and watches Anna swing. + +A big boy comes to the park. He sees Anna on the swing. He says, "Hey, little girl. Get off the swing. I want to swing. You have been on it for too long." + +Anna says, "No, this is my swing. I saw it first. You can't have it." + +The big boy gets angry. He pushes Anna off the swing. He seats on it and swings. Anna falls to the ground. She hurts her knee. She cries. + +Ben hears Anna cry. He runs to her. He helps her stand up. He says, "Are you okay, Anna? That was not nice of the big boy. He should not push you." + +Anna says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You are gentle and kind. I am sorry I did not share the swing with you. That was not nice of me. Can we share the swing now?" + +Ben smiles. He says, "Of course, Anna. We can share the swing. That is what friends do. They share and care." + +Anna and Ben hug. They walk to the swing. They take turns. They have fun. They learn to be fair and nice. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs and worms. They had a big bucket to put their finds in. They were very quiet, because they did not want to scare the bugs and worms. + +"Look, Ben, I found a big worm!" Lila whispered, holding up a long, slimy thing. "It is so wiggly and soft!" + +"Wow, Lila, that is a great worm!" Ben whispered back, taking the worm from her. "Let's put it in the bucket with the others. Maybe they will be friends." + +They walked to the bucket and gently put the worm inside. They saw that there were many other bugs and worms in the bucket. Some were crawling, some were flying, some were hiding. They looked very busy and happy. + +"Ben, do you think the bugs and worms like us?" Lila asked, looking at the bucket with wonder. + +"I think they do, Lila. We are nice to them. We do not hurt them or take them away from their home. We just look at them and learn about them. And then we let them go back to the earth, where they belong." Ben said, smiling. + +Lila nodded. She felt grateful for the bugs and worms. They were so interesting and fun. She also felt grateful for Ben. He was her best friend. He liked the same things as her. He was always kind and gentle. + +"Ben, you are the best friend ever." Lila whispered, hugging him. + +"You are the best friend ever, too, Lila." Ben whispered, hugging her back. + +They smiled at each other and then went back to digging and looking for more bugs and worms. They were very happy. +Mia and Leo were twins who liked to play in the snow. One day, they made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They were very proud of their snowman and gave him a name: Frosty. + +"Hello, Frosty!" Mia said. "You are our new friend!" + +"Yes, you are!" Leo agreed. "Do you want to play with us?" + +But Frosty did not answer. He just stood there, smiling with his coal eyes. + +Mia and Leo decided to play tag around Frosty. They ran and laughed and had fun. But then, Leo had an idea. He wanted to twist Frosty's nose and make him look funny. + +"Watch this, Mia!" Leo said. He ran to Frosty and grabbed his carrot nose. He twisted it hard and tried to pull it off. + +But Frosty did not like that. He felt a tickle in his nose and sneezed. A big puff of snow came out of his mouth and hit Leo in the face. + +"Ah! Frosty bit me!" Leo cried. He dropped the carrot and ran away. + +Mia ran to Leo and hugged him. She saw that he was not hurt, just scared. She looked at Frosty and saw that he was still smiling. + +"Frosty did not bite you, Leo," Mia said. "He just sneezed. He is harmless. He is our friend." + +Leo felt sorry for what he did. He realized that he was mean to Frosty and hurt his feelings. + +"I'm sorry, Frosty," Leo said. He picked up the carrot and put it back on Frosty's nose. He gave him a pat on the head. "You are our friend. I won't twist your nose again." + +Frosty nodded and winked with his coal eyes. He was happy that Leo was sorry and nice to him. + +Mia and Leo smiled and hugged Frosty. They decided to go inside and have some hot cocoa. They invited Frosty to join them, but he said he was too cold. He said he would wait for them outside and watch the snow. + +"Bye, Frosty!" Mia and Leo said. "We'll see you tomorrow!" + +"Bye, Mia and Leo!" Frosty said. "Have fun and be good!" + +Mia and Leo learned a lesson that day. They learned that they should not twist or hurt anyone, even a snowman. They learned that they should be kind and respectful to their friends, even if they are different. They learned that they can have fun and make friends with anyone, even a harmless snowman. +Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They make houses, towers, bridges and cars with the blocks. Sometimes they make a big country with many blocks. They give names to the houses and the cars and the people who live in the country. + +One day, Sara and Ben have a fight. Sara wants to make a castle with the blocks, but Ben wants to make a train. They pull and push the blocks and yell at each other. They break the country they made. The blocks fall down and scatter on the floor. + +Sara and Ben are very angry. They do not want to play with each other anymore. They sit on opposite sides of the room and glare at each other. They feel bitter in their hearts. They do not have fun. + +Mom comes in and sees the mess. She sees Sara and Ben looking sad and mad. She asks them what happened. Sara and Ben tell her about their fight. Mom shakes her head and sighs. + +She says, "Sara and Ben, you are brother and sister. You should love each other and share your toys. Fighting and breaking things will not make you happy. It will only make you bitter. Why don't you say sorry to each other and make up? Then you can make a new country together, with a castle and a train and whatever else you like." + +Sara and Ben think about what Mom says. They feel sorry for their fight. They say sorry to each other and hug. They smile and feel better. They pick up the blocks and start to make a new country together. They have fun. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were astronauts and explore different planets. They had a big cardboard box that they used as a rocket. They decorated it with stickers and crayons. + +"Ready for take-off?" Ben asked Sara. He was the pilot and she was the co-pilot. + +"Ready!" Sara said. She put on her helmet and buckled her seat belt. Ben pushed a button and made a loud noise. "Vroom! Vroom! We are flying to the moon!" + +They had a lot of fun imagining they were flying in space. They saw stars and comets and aliens. They landed on the moon and got out of the rocket. They jumped and bounced on the dusty ground. + +"Look, Sara!" Ben said. He pointed to a big rock that was leaning on a smaller one. "That looks like a slide. Let's go and try it!" + +Sara followed Ben to the rock. She was a little frightened. The rock looked steep and slippery. She was afraid she would fall and hurt herself. + +"Come on, Sara!" Ben said. He climbed on the smaller rock and slid down the bigger one. He laughed and shouted. "Whee! This is fun! You should try it!" + +Sara hesitated. She wanted to have fun with Ben, but she also wanted to be safe. She remembered what her mom had told her. "Always be careful when you play. Don't do anything that makes you feel scared or uncomfortable. Listen to your heart and trust your feelings." + +Sara decided not to slide on the rock. She told Ben. "No, thank you. I don't want to slide on the rock. It looks too scary for me. I'd rather play something else." + +Ben was disappointed. He wanted Sara to join him. He tried to persuade her. "Oh, come on, Sara. Don't be a chicken. It's not scary at all. It's fun. You'll like it. Just try it once." + +Sara shook her head. She was firm. "No, Ben. I'm not a chicken. I'm just being careful. I don't want to slide on the rock. I don't like it. Please respect my choice." + +Ben realized he was being pushy. He felt sorry for Sara. He apologized. "I'm sorry, Sara. You're right. I shouldn't force you to do something you don't want to do. It's your choice. I respect it. Let's play something else." + +Sara smiled. She was glad Ben understood. She forgave him. "It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you're sorry. I forgive you. Let's play something else." + +They hugged and went back to their rocket. They had more fun exploring other planets. They learned to respect each other's feelings and choices. They were good friends. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toy cars. They had a big box full of different cars, trucks, buses and trains. They pretended to be drivers and made noises like honk, beep, vroom and choo-choo. + +One day, they decided to play on the road outside their house. They thought it would be more fun to drive their cars on the real road, where they could see other cars and people. They did not know that the road was dangerous and that they should not play there. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go to the park with our cars!" Sam said, holding his red car. + +"OK, Sam, but we have to be careful. The road is big and busy," Lily said, holding her yellow car. + +They ran across the street, looking both ways, and made it to the other side. They were happy and started to play with their cars on the grass. + +But then, they heard a loud horn and saw a big truck coming towards them. The truck was going very fast and did not see them. The driver was angry and shouted, "Hey, you kids, get off the road! You are in the way!" + +Sam and Lily were scared and did not know what to do. They dropped their cars and ran back to the street. But the truck was too close and they could not cross in time. + +"Help, help!" they cried. + +Just then, their mom came out of the house and saw them. She was very worried and ran to them. She grabbed them by their hands and pulled them to the sidewalk. She hugged them tight and said, "Oh, my babies, are you OK? You should never play on the road. It is very dangerous. You could have been hurt by the truck." + +Sam and Lily were sorry and said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to be bad. We just wanted to play with our cars." + +Mom said, "I know, but you have to be safe. You can play with your cars in the backyard or in your room. But never on the road. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Lily nodded and said, "We understand, mom. We love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies. And don't forget to say thank you to the driver. He stopped the truck and gave you back your cars." + +Sam and Lily said, "Thank you, driver. We are sorry for being in the way." + +The driver said, "You are welcome, kids. But please, be careful next time. The road is not a place to play." + +Sam and Lily hugged their mom and their cars and went inside. They learned their lesson and never played on the road again. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. Tim has a big car with a license. Sam has a small car with no license. Tim says, "My car is better than your car. It has a license. You need a license to drive a car.

You are not a good driver. Watch me drive my car. I can do it fast and loud." + +Tim drives his car on the road. He does not look where he is going. He hits a tree. His car breaks. His license falls off. He cries. He says, "Oh no, my car is broken. My license is gone. What will I do?" + +Sam comes to him. He says, "I am sorry, Tim. Are you hurt? Do you need help?" + +Tim says, "Yes, Sam. I am hurt. I need help. I was wrong. I was mean. I was not a good friend. I was not a good driver. I am ashamed." + +Sam says, "It's okay, Tim.

The park has many paths and trees and flowers. + +One day, Tom and Sam go to the park with their bikes. They see a new path. It is long and straight and has a sign that says "Speed Limit 10". Tom and Sam think that means they can go very fast. + +"Let's try this path!" Tom says. "It looks interesting!" + +"OK!" Sam says. "But be careful!" + +They put on their helmets and start to pedal. They go faster and faster. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They are having fun. + +But they do not see the chain. The chain is across the path. It is there to stop cars from going in. It is low and hard to see. + +Tom and Sam are going too fast to stop. They hit the chain. They fall off their bikes. They hurt their knees and elbows. They cry. + +A man comes to help them. He is a park ranger. He wears a hat and a badge. He is angry. + +"What are you doing here?" he asks. "This path is not for bikes. It is for cars. And you are going too fast. The sign says 10, not 100!" + +Tom and Sam are sorry. They did not know. They say they are sorry. They ask the man to help them. + +The man is not so angry anymore. He sees they are hurt. He helps them get up. He gives them band-aids and water. He tells them to be more careful next time. He tells them to go to another path that is safer for bikes. + +Tom and Sam thank the man. They get on their bikes. They go to another path. They go slower and watch for chains. They still have fun.

She writes big and small and colorful. + +One day, Lily wants to write something special. She asks her mom, "Can I write on the cake?" + +Her mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful. The cake is soft and sweet. You have to write slow and gentle." + +Lily nods and takes a tube of icing. She squeezes it and writes on the cake. She writes "Happy Birthday Mom". She writes slow and gentle, but sometimes she makes a mess. She laughs and licks her fingers. + +Her mom hugs her and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good writer.

Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Let me check." + +He used the spoon to stir the soup. He lifted the spoon to his mouth. He tasted the soup. + +"Yuck!" he spat. "This soup is bad!" + +He looked at the spoon. He saw something green and slimy on it. + +"What is this?" he cried. + +Lily came closer. She saw the green thing too. + +"Ew!" she screamed.

"What are you doing in the dark?" + +Ben and Lily ran to Mom. They hugged her. + +"Mom, we tried to make soup, but we made a mistake," Ben said. + +"We used peas instead of chicken," Lily said. + +Mom smiled. She turned on the light.

Lily was very excited and ran to the kitchen. + +As she was getting the sugar, she accidentally dropped the jar and it broke into many pieces. "Oh no!" cried Lily. "I disturbed the sugar!" Her mommy reassured her that it was okay and they could still make the cookies. + +They continued to bake the cookies together and Lily was very happy. "These cookies smell so good!" she said. Her mommy smiled and said, "That's because you helped make them, my dear." Lily felt proud and happy that she could be helpful. +Anna loved to swim in the lake with her friends. She had a yellow swim suit and a blue swim cap. She could swim very fast and do many tricks in the water. Her friends liked to watch her swim and cheer for her. + +One day, a new boy came to the lake. His name was Ben. He had a red swim suit and a green swim cap. He said he could swim faster and do better tricks than Anna. He challenged her to a race. Anna did not like Ben. He was rude and mean. She did not want to race him. But her friends said she should. They said she was the best swimmer and she could beat him. + +Anna agreed to race Ben. They went to the edge of the lake. They waited for the signal. Then they jumped in the water and started to swim. Anna swam as fast as she could. She wanted to win. She wanted to show Ben that he was wrong. She did not look at him or at the other side of the lake. She only looked at the water. + +But Ben had a plan. He did not swim as fast as he could. He swam behind Anna. He followed her. He waited for the right moment. Then he grabbed her swim cap and pulled it off. Anna felt a tug on her head. She stopped swimming. She turned around. She saw Ben holding her swim cap and laughing. He swam past her and reached the other side of the lake. He won the race. + +Anna was very sad and angry. She cried. She wanted her swim cap back. She swam to the other side of the lake. She asked Ben to give her swim cap back. But Ben said no. He said he won the race and he won the swim cap. He said he would keep it. He said it was his now. + +Anna's friends came to the other side of the lake. They saw what happened. They were very sorry for Anna. They did not like Ben. They said he was a cheater and a bully. They said he did not win the race fairly. They said he should give Anna her swim cap back. But Ben said no. He said he did not care what they said. He said he was the best swimmer and he could do what he wanted. + +Then a big man came to the lake. He was the lifeguard. He saw what happened. He heard what Ben said. He was very angry. He said Ben was a bad boy. He said he broke the rules of the lake. He said he had to give Anna her swim cap back. He said he had to apologize to her and to her friends. He said he had to leave the lake and never come back. He said he was not welcome there anymore. + +Ben was very scared. He did not want to leave the lake. He did not want to lose his swim cap. He did not want to apologize. But he had no choice. The lifeguard was bigger and stronger than him. He had to do what he said. He gave Anna her swim cap back. He said he was sorry. He left the lake. He never came back. + +Anna was very happy. She got her swim cap back. She thanked the lifeguard. She hugged her friends. They said they were proud of her. They said she was the best swimmer and the best friend. They said they would always swim with her. They said they would always be nice to each other. They learned a lesson. They learned that cheating is wrong and that being kind is right. They learned that swimming is fun and that friends are important. They learned that yellow and blue are better than red and green. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They like to make them zoom on the grass and the dirt. They pretend they are racing drivers and make loud noises. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom! I'm the fastest car in the world!" Ben says. + +"No, you're not! I'm the fastest car in the world!" Lily says. + +They zoom their cars towards each other and make them crash. They laugh and pick up their cars. + +"Look, your car has a cap!" Ben says. He points to the small hat that Lily has put on her car. + +"Yes, it does. It's a cool cap. It makes my car look fierce!" Lily says. She likes to dress up her car with different things. + +"Can I try your cap?" Ben asks. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. Then you have to give it back." Lily says. + +She takes off the cap from her car and puts it on Ben's car. Ben zooms his car around with the cap on. + +"Wow, this cap is fun! It makes my car look fierce too!" Ben says. + +He zooms his car faster and faster. He forgets to give the cap back to Lily. + +"Hey, give me back my cap!" Lily says. + +She chases Ben and his car with her car. They zoom around the garden, trying to catch each other. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom! Catch me if you can!" Ben says. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom! I will catch you and get my cap!" Lily says. + +They have a lot of fun playing with their cars and their cap. They are good friends. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their wagon. It was brown and big and had four wheels. They put their toys and snacks in the wagon and pulled it around the yard. They pretended they were serving food to their friends. + +One day, they saw a big dog outside the fence. The dog was black and had sharp teeth. It barked and growled at them. Ben and Lily were scared, but they wanted to be nice. They thought the dog was hungry and lonely. They decided to serve some food to the dog. + +They took some crackers and cheese from the wagon and walked to the fence. They reached out their hands to give the food to the dog. But the dog did not want the food. The dog wanted to bite them. It jumped over the fence and ran towards them. Ben and Lily screamed and dropped the food. They tried to run away, but the dog was faster. + +The dog caught Ben and bit his leg. Ben fell down and cried. Lily ran to help him, but the dog bit her arm. Lily fell down and cried too. The dog was not done. It went to the wagon and tore apart their toys and snacks. It made a big mess. + +Ben and Lily were hurt and sad. They wished they had not tried to serve the dog. They wished they had stayed away from the fence. They wished their mom and dad were there. They learned a hard lesson. Not all dogs are nice. Some dogs are mean. +Lily and her brother Max love to play with their toy animals. They have a lot of animals, like a lion, a bear, a monkey and a giraffe. They pretend that the animals are their friends and they speak to them. + +One day, Lily and Max decide to make a zoo with their animals. They use some boxes, some blankets and some pillows to make cages and houses for the animals. They put signs with the names of the animals on the boxes. They are very enthusiastic and work hard to make their zoo look nice. + +When they finish, they invite their mom and dad to see their zoo. They show them all the animals and tell them what they can do. "This is Leo, the lion. He can roar very loud and he is the king of the zoo," Lily says. "This is Ben, the bear. He can climb trees and he likes honey," Max says. They speak with their mom and dad and ask them questions about the animals. + +Mom and dad are very proud of Lily and Max. They praise them for their creativity and imagination. They also play with them and the animals. They pretend to be visitors and ask for tickets and maps. They have a lot of fun together. + +Lily and Max are very happy. They hug their mom and dad and thank them for playing with them. They also hug their animals and say good night to them. They put them back in their boxes and cover them with blankets. They say they will play with them again tomorrow. They go to bed with big smiles on their faces. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to race each other. They raced to the park, to the school, to the bus. They always wanted to be the first and the fastest. One day, their mom took them to the store to buy some food. She told them to stay close to her and not to run away. + +But Tom and Lily were restless. They saw many things in the store that they wanted to touch and see. They did not listen to their mom. They ran away from her and raced each other in the aisles. They knocked over cans and boxes and made a big mess. They did not care about the other people in the store who were angry and scared. + +Their mom looked for them and called their names. She was worried and sad. She did not know where they were. She asked the store people to help her find them. But Tom and Lily were too fast and too sneaky. They hid behind the shelves and the carts. They thought it was a fun game. + +But then, something bad happened. Tom and Lily raced to the end of the store, where there was a big door. They did not know that the door led to the street, where there were many cars and trucks. They pushed the door open and ran outside. They did not look both ways. They did not see the big truck that was coming fast. The truck driver did not see them either. He could not stop in time. + +There was a loud noise and a lot of pain. Tom and Lily were hit by the truck. They fell to the ground and did not get up. They were hurt very badly. Their mom heard the noise and ran to the door. She saw them lying on the street. She screamed and cried. She ran to them and hugged them. She called for help. But it was too late. Tom and Lily were gone. + +The moral of the story is: listen to your mom and do not run away in the store. It is not a safe place to race. It is not a fun game. It can end very badly. +Lila and Ben were friends who liked to swim in the lake. They had a lot of fun splashing and diving in the water. One day, they saw a beautiful envelope floating on the surface. It was shiny and had a big red stamp on it. + +"Look, Ben, what is that?" Lila asked. + +"I don't know, let's get it!" Ben said. + +They swam towards the envelope and grabbed it. They opened it and saw a letter inside. It had many words that they could not read. + +"Maybe it is a secret message," Lila said. + +"Or a treasure map," Ben said. + +They were so curious that they did not notice the dark clouds in the sky. They did not hear the thunder or see the lightning. They did not feel the wind or the waves. They only looked at the envelope and the letter. + +Suddenly, a big wave came and knocked them over. They dropped the envelope and the letter. They tried to swim back to the shore, but the water was too strong. They screamed for help, but no one heard them. They sank deeper and deeper into the lake. They never saw the envelope or the letter again. They never saw each other again. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big pile of coal in the backyard. They wanted to make a castle with the coal, but they needed some tools. + +"Let's ask Dad for a shovel and a bucket," Lily said. + +"OK," Tom agreed. + +They ran to the garage, where Dad was busy fixing his car. He had oil and wires and tools all over the place. + +"Dad, Dad, can we have a shovel and a bucket?" Lily asked. + +Dad did not look at them. He was busy with his car. He ignored them. + +"Dad, please, we want to play with the coal," Tom said. + +Dad did not answer. He was busy with his car. He ignored them. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They wanted to play, but Dad did not care. They decided to find their own tools. + +They looked around the garage and saw a broom and a tin can. They took them and ran back to the coal pile. + +"We don't need Dad. We can make our own castle," Lily said. + +"Yeah, we can," Tom said. + +They used the broom and the tin can to dig and shape the coal. They made a big and beautiful castle. They were happy and proud. + +They wanted to show Dad their castle. They ran to the garage again. + +"Dad, Dad, look at our castle!" Lily shouted. + +Dad finally looked at them. He saw their dirty faces and clothes and their coal castle. He smiled. + +"Wow, that's amazing! You made that with coal?" he asked. + +"Yes, we did. Do you like it?" Tom asked. + +"I love it. You are very clever and creative. I'm sorry I ignored you before. I was busy with my car, but I should have paid attention to you. Can I play with you?" Dad asked. + +Lily and Tom smiled. They forgave Dad. They hugged him and said yes. + +They took Dad to their coal castle. They played and had fun. They were happy. +Lily liked to play with her toys in her room. She had dolls, cars, books and puzzles. She did not like to play with her brother Max. Max was rude. He always took her toys and made loud noises. He did not share or say sorry. + +One day, Lily saw Max playing with a computer in the living room. It was Mom's computer. Mom used it for work. She told Max not to touch it. But Max did not listen. He pressed buttons and moved the mouse. He smiled and laughed. Lily was curious. She wanted to see what Max was doing. + +She walked quietly to the living room. She peeked behind the couch. She saw Max's face on the screen. He was making funny faces with the camera. He did not see Lily. Lily thought it was funny too. She giggled. + +Max heard Lily. He turned around. He was angry. He did not like Lily to disturb him. He shouted at her. "Go away! This is my computer! You are not allowed to play with it!" + +Lily was scared. She ran away. She bumped into Mom. Mom was coming back from the kitchen. She heard Max's shout. She saw Lily's tears. She was not happy. She went to the living room. She saw Max's face on the screen. She saw her computer. She was very angry. She took the computer away from Max. She scolded him. "Max, you are very rude! You should not play with my computer! You should not shout at Lily! You should say sorry to her and to me!" + +Max was ashamed. He knew he did something bad. He said sorry to Lily and to Mom. He gave Lily a hug. He promised not to play with the computer again. Lily forgave him. She smiled. Mom forgave him too. She hugged him. She told him to play nicely with Lily. She gave them some cookies. They ate them together. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to travel. They had a big circle that they could sit in and make it move. The circle had four wheels and a handle. Lily's dad gave it to them and said it was unique. + +One day, they decided to travel to the park. They pushed the circle along the road and said hello to the people and animals they saw. They saw a dog, a cat, a bird, and a cow. They liked the cow best because it made a funny sound. + +"Moo!" said the cow. + +"Hello, cow!" said Lily and Tom. + +They reached the park and saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They left the circle near a tree and ran to play. They had fun sliding, swinging, and making sand castles. They also met some other children who wanted to play with them. + +"Can we try your circle?" asked one of the children. + +"Sure!" said Lily and Tom. "It is unique and fun. You can sit in it and make it move." + +They showed the children how to use the circle and took turns riding it. They all laughed and enjoyed the circle. They made new friends and had a great time. + +Lily and Tom were happy that they traveled to the park with their unique circle. They learned new things and had fun.

But her favorite marble was a big blue one with sparkles inside. It was very pretty and shiny. She called it her star marble. + +One day, Lily was playing with her marbles on the floor. She heard her mom call her for lunch. She quickly put her marbles in a bag, but she forgot to zip it. She ran to the kitchen, holding her bag. She did not see that her star marble fell out of the bag and rolled under the sofa. + +After lunch, Lily wanted to play with her marbles again. She opened her bag and looked for her star marble. But she could not find it. She dumped all her marbles on the floor and searched for it. She felt sad and worried. Where was her star marble? + +She asked her mom if she had seen it. Her mom said no, but she helped Lily look for it. They looked in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the bedroom, but they could not find it. Lily started to cry. She thought she had lost her star marble forever. + +Then, Lily heard a squeak. She turned around and saw her cat, Milo, coming out from under the sofa. He had something in his mouth. It was her star marble! He had found it and played with it. He dropped it on the floor and looked at Lily. He seemed to say, "Here, I found your marble. Do you want it?" + +Lily was so happy. She ran to Milo and hugged him. She thanked him for finding her star marble. She picked it up and squeezed it in her hand. It felt smooth and warm. She smiled and kissed it. She said, "You are my star marble. I love you. And I love you, Milo. You are a good cat." She put her star marble in her bag and zipped it. She did not want to lose it again. She played with her marbles and her cat for the rest of the day. She was very happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They had a big box of toys. Tom found a pistol that made a loud snap when he pulled the trigger. He liked the pistol. It was purple and shiny. + +"Look, Lily, I have a pistol!" Tom said.

She had a doll with a purple dress and a purple hat. She hugged the doll. + +"I don't like your pistol, Tom. It is too noisy. It scares the birds and the bugs. I like my doll. She is pretty and quiet. She likes flowers." Lily said. She pointed the doll at a flower and kissed it. "Mwah, mwah, mwah!" + +Tom did not care. He thought his pistol was more fun than a doll. He wanted to play with Lily, but he also wanted to snap his pistol. He had an idea. He ran to Lily and snapped his pistol at her doll. "Bang, bang, bang!" + +Lily was very angry. She did not like Tom snapping his pistol at her doll. She thought Tom was mean and rude. She pushed Tom and grabbed his pistol. She threw the pistol in the trash. "No, no, no! You are a bad boy, Tom. You hurt my doll. You can't play with me. Go away!" + +Tom was very sad. He did not mean to hurt Lily's doll. He just wanted to have fun. He did not like Lily throwing his pistol in the trash.

"He has a boat and he goes to many places." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "Your painting is very beautiful, Lily. You are very talented. The sailor looks very real." + +"Can I hang it on the wall, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. But we have to be gentle. The painting is fragile. It can tear or get wet. We have to find a good place for it." + +They looked around the room and found a spot near the window. They used some tape and stuck the painting on the wall. Lily admired her work. She felt happy and proud. She hoped the sailor liked it too. +Ben and Tom are friends. They like to play baseball in the park. They have a big ball and a small bat.

He stops and looks at them. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" he asks. "Are you playing baseball? That's a stupid game. You have a small bat and a big ball. That's not how you play baseball. You need a big bat and a small ball. Like this." He takes out a big bat and a small ball from his bike. He throws the ball in the air and hits it with the bat. The ball flies far away. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Tom says. He runs after the ball. + +"Tom, wait!" Ben says. "Don't go with him. He's not nice. He's mean. He's showing off. He wants to make us feel bad. He doesn't want to be our friend. He just wants to display his bike and his bat and his ball. He thinks he's better than us. But he's not. He's rude." + +Ben is right. The new boy is rude. He laughs at Tom when he can't catch the ball. He calls him slow and dumb. He rides his bike around him and makes fun of him. He doesn't share his bat and his ball. He says they are his and only his. + +Tom feels sad and angry. He doesn't like the new boy. He wants to go back to Ben. He wants to play baseball with him.

He looked angry. + +"This is our gold, we found it!" Sara said. + +"No, it is not, it is mine!" the old man said. "I buried it here long ago. Give it back!" + +Sara and Tom were scared. They did not want to fight with the old man. + +"Sorry, sir, we did not know," Tom said. "We were just playing. Here, take your box." + +They gave the box to the old man and ran away. + +They felt sad and sorry.

She is my best friend." + +Anna examined her doll and saw that she had blue eyes and a pink nose and a red mouth. She kissed her doll and said, "You are so sweet, Lily. Happy birthday to us!" +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. They also like to sing songs. They know many songs. They sing happy songs, sad songs, funny songs and silly songs. + +One day, they meet a new boy in the park. His name is Tom. He is big and mean. He does not like to play or sing. He likes to push and shout. He sees Anna and Ben singing a song on the swing. He runs to them and says, "Stop singing! You sound like cows! You are too fat and loud! You weigh too much for the swing! Go away!" + +Anna and Ben are scared and sad. They do not like Tom. They try to be polite. They say, "Please, Tom, do not be mean. We are just having fun. You can join us if you want. We can teach you some songs. Songs are nice and fun." + +But Tom does not listen. He is angry and rude. He says, "No, I do not want to join you. I do not like songs. Songs are stupid and boring. You are stupid and boring. I will make you stop singing. I will break the swing. Watch me!" + +He grabs the swing and pulls it hard. He breaks the chain. The swing falls to the ground. Anna and Ben fall with it. They hurt their heads and legs. They cry and scream. Tom laughs and runs away. + +Anna and Ben are hurt and sad. They do not want to play or sing anymore. They go home with their moms. They do not like Tom. They do not like the park. They do not like the swing. They do not like the song. They have a bad day. The end. +Lily and Max were very happy. They were going on a safari with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags with hats, water, and snacks. They also brought their binoculars and cameras. They wanted to see many animals. + +They got in the car and drove to the park. The park was big and green. There were many trees and flowers. They saw a sign that said "Safari". They followed the sign and parked near a big gate. A man in a fancy uniform greeted them. He had a badge and a hat. + +"Hello, welcome to the safari!" he said. "I am Sam, your guide. I will show you around and tell you about the animals. Are you ready?" + +"Yes, we are!" Lily and Max said. + +"Great, then follow me. We will take this jeep. It is safe and fast. Please buckle up and stay inside. Do not touch or feed the animals. They are wild and can act funny or angry. Just watch and enjoy." + +Sam drove the jeep through the gate. Lily and Max looked out the windows. They saw many animals. They saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, and more. They took pictures and asked Sam questions. Sam told them interesting facts and stories. Lily and Max learned a lot and had fun. + +They also saw some funny things. They saw a monkey steal a hat from another jeep. They saw a zebra run away from a lion. They saw an elephant spray water with its trunk. They laughed and clapped. + +They spent a long time on the safari. They saw many more animals and sights. They thanked Sam for the tour. They went back to the car and drove home. They were tired but happy. They had a great day. They told Mom and Dad all about it. They showed them their pictures and souvenirs. They said they wanted to go on a safari again. Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. They said they were proud of them. They said they loved them. They said good night. Lily and Max went to bed. They dreamed of the safari. They dreamed of the animals. They dreamed of Sam. They dreamed of the fancy uniform. +Ben and Sam love hockey. They have hockey sticks and a ball. They play hockey in the park with their friends. They run and hit the ball with their sticks. They try to score goals. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog likes the ball. He runs after the ball and grabs it with his mouth. He does not want to give it back. He growls and barks at the boys. + +"Hey, that is our ball!" Ben says. "Give it back, dog!" + +Sam has an idea. He is smart. He sees a stick on the ground. He picks it up and throws it far away. He says, "Look, dog, a stick! Go get it!" + +The dog hears Sam. He drops the ball and jumps after the stick. He runs and catches the stick. He is happy. + +Ben and Sam get their ball back. They say, "Thank you, Sam! You are smart!" + +They play hockey again. They have fun. The dog plays with the stick. He has fun too. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. There are many flowers in the garden. Anna likes the sunflowers best. They are big and yellow and happy. + +One day, Anna and Ben find a sunflower seed on the ground. Anna wants to plant it and grow a new sunflower. Ben wants to eat it. He is hungry. + +"Can I have the seed, please?" Ben asks Anna. + +"No, it is mine. I want to plant it," Anna says. + +"But I am hungry. Please share with me," Ben says. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes the seed, but she likes Ben more. She is generous. She breaks the seed in half and gives one part to Ben. + +"Here, you can have this. But you have to help me plant the other part," she says. + +"Okay, thank you. You are a good friend," Ben says. + +They dig a small hole in the ground and put the seed in. They cover it with dirt and water it. They hope it will grow into a big sunflower. + +They hug each other and smile. They understand each other. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big tree with red fruits on it. They were cherries. Anna and Ben loved cherries. They wanted to pick some and eat them. + +They ran to the tree and climbed on a branch. They reached for the cherries. They were juicy and sweet. They ate and ate. They did not see the bird that lived in the tree. It was a crow. It did not like Anna and Ben. It wanted the cherries for itself. + +The crow flew out of its nest and cawed loudly. It flapped its wings and pecked at Anna and Ben. It tried to scare them away. Anna and Ben were frightened. They dropped the cherries and cried. They wanted to get down from the tree. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "There is a bad bird in the tree!" + +Their mom heard them and came to the garden. She saw the crow and the cherries and the children. She was angry at the crow. She picked up a stick and waved it at the crow. She told it to go away. + +"Shoo! Shoo! Leave my children alone! These are our cherries, not yours!" + +The crow was afraid of the mom and the stick. It flew away and cawed angrily. It did not like to share. Anna and Ben were happy. They climbed down from the tree and hugged their mom. She hugged them back and kissed them. + +"Are you okay, my darlings?" she asked. "Did the crow hurt you?" + +"No, mom, we are okay," they said. "But we are sorry. We did not know the crow lived in the tree. We just wanted some cherries." + +"It's okay, my darlings," she said. "You can have some cherries. But next time, ask me first. And be careful of the crow. He is not nice. He does not like to share." + +"Okay, mom, we will," they said. "Thank you for saving us. We love you." + +They picked up some cherries and gave them to their mom. They ate some more and smiled. They were not frightened anymore. They settled in the grass and enjoyed the sun. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. It was evening and the sky was dark. They heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Tom asked. + +"Hello, I am a fairy. Can I come in?" a voice said. + +"A fairy?" Lily said. "That is unusual. How do we know you are a fairy?" + +The voice said, "I have wings and a wand. Look through the window and you will see." + +Tom and Lily ran to the window and saw a small person with shiny wings and a sparkly wand. She smiled and waved at them. + +"Wow, she is a fairy!" Tom said. "Can we let her in, Lily?" + +Lily nodded. "Yes, let's let her in. Maybe she has a gift for us." + +Tom opened the door and the fairy flew in. She said, "Thank you for letting me in. I am here to grant you one wish each. What do you wish for?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and thought hard. They had so many things they wanted. But they also wanted to be kind and share. They decided to make the same wish. + +They said together, "We wish for a big cake to eat with our family and friends." + +The fairy smiled and said, "That is a very good wish. I will make it come true. Close your eyes and count to three." + +Tom and Lily closed their eyes and counted. "One, two, three!" + +They opened their eyes and saw a big cake on the table. It had candles and frosting and fruits. It smelled delicious. + +"Wow, thank you, fairy!" Tom and Lily said. + +"You are welcome. Enjoy your cake and have a happy evening. Goodbye!" the fairy said. She waved her wand and flew out of the window. + +Tom and Lily ran to the table and cut a slice of cake for each of them. They also saved some for their parents and their friends. They ate the cake and felt very happy. They agreed that it was the most unusual and wonderful evening ever. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big bike in the yard. It is red and shiny. Lily wants to ride the bike. She says to Ben, "Let me ride the bike. It is fun." + +Ben says, "No, it is my bike. You cannot ride it. It is too big for you. You are small." + +Lily is sad. She says, "Please, Ben. I want to try. I can ride it. I am not small." + +Ben says, "No, Lily. Go away. Find another toy. This is mine." + +Lily has an idea. She sees a distant hill. She says to Ben, "Look, Ben. There is a hill. It is high and steep. I bet you cannot ride the bike down the hill. You are scared." + +Ben says, "I am not scared. I can ride the bike down the hill. I am brave." + +Lily says, "Prove it. Show me. I will watch you." + +Ben says, "Fine. I will show you. Follow me." + +Ben takes the bike and rides to the hill. Lily follows him. Ben starts to ride down the hill. He goes fast. He feels the wind in his hair. He smiles. He thinks he is cool. + +But then, he sees a rock. It is big and sharp. It is in his way. He tries to avoid it. He turns the bike. He loses his balance. He falls off the bike. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Lily runs to him. She sees the bike. It is broken. She sees Ben. He is bleeding. She feels sorry. She says to Ben, "Ben, are you okay? I am sorry. It was a bad idea. I should not have dared you. I was mean." + +Ben says, "Lily, it is okay. I am sorry too. I should have shared the bike. I was selfish. You are my friend." + +Lily and Ben hug. They say sorry to each other. They walk back to the yard. They find another toy. They play together. They are happy. +Tom and Lily like to play with cardboard boxes. They find many boxes in the garage and make a big fort. They cut windows and doors and draw pictures on the walls. They pretend they are kings and queens of the fort. + +One day, it rains a lot. Tom and Lily want to play in the fort, but it is wet. They run to the garage and see the boxes are soaked. The cardboard is soft and saggy and falls apart. They are sad and cry. + +Dad sees them and hugs them. He says he has a surprise for them. He takes them to the backyard and shows them a tall wooden playhouse. It has a roof and windows and doors and a slide. It is not wet from the rain. He says he made it for them. + +Tom and Lily are happy and hug Dad. They thank him and run to the playhouse. They climb and slide and laugh. They forget about the cardboard fort. They have a new and better fort. They are kings and queens of the playhouse. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big cooler near a bench. They were thirsty and hungry. + +"Let's see what's in the cooler," Sara said. + +"OK, but we have to be quick. Maybe someone will come back soon," Tom said. + +They opened the cooler and found juice, sandwiches and cookies. They took some and ate them. They were yummy. + +"Wow, this is the best lunch ever," Sara said. + +"Shh, I hear someone," Tom said. + +They looked up and saw a man with a long beard and a angry face. He was holding a fishing rod and a bucket. + +"Hey, you little thieves! That's my lunch! You ruined my fishing trip!" he shouted. + +He ran towards them and grabbed the cooler. He threw it at them and hit Sara in the head. She fell down and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! That hurts!" she screamed. + +Tom was scared and ran away. He left Sara alone with the man. + +The man picked up Sara and put her in the cooler. He closed the lid and locked it. + +"Ha, ha, ha! That will teach you a lesson. Now you can be my bait. Maybe I'll catch a big fish with you," he said. + +He carried the cooler to his car and drove away. + +Sara was trapped in the dark and cold cooler. She could not breathe. She could not scream. She could not escape. + +She wished she never opened the cooler. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, Tom found a letter on the ground. It was yellow and had a picture of a bird on it. Tom was curious and opened the letter. He saw some words that he could not read and a big whistle that looked like the bird. + +"Wow, look what I found!" Tom said to Lily. "A whistle! I wonder who it belongs to." + +Lily looked at the letter and the whistle. She felt jealous. She wanted to have a whistle too. She liked the sound of whistles and how they made the birds come closer. + +"Can I see it?" Lily asked Tom. + +"Sure, here you go." Tom said and handed her the whistle. + +Lily took the whistle and put it in her mouth. She blew hard, but nothing happened. She tried again, but still no sound. She felt frustrated and angry. + +"Why doesn't it work?" Lily said. "Is it broken?" + +Tom took the whistle back and looked at it. He saw a small hole on the side of the whistle. He put his finger on the hole and blew. The whistle made a loud and clear sound. The birds in the park heard it and flew towards Tom and Lily. + +"It's not broken, you just have to cover the hole." Tom said and smiled. "See, it works!" + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She realized that she was not nice to Tom. She wanted to say sorry, but she did not know how. + +"Tom, I..." Lily started to say. + +Tom saw Lily's face and understood. He was a kind friend. He gave the whistle back to Lily and said: + +"Here, you can have it. I don't need it. I have you as my friend. And you can whistle better than any bird." + +Lily felt happy and grateful. She hugged Tom and said: + +"Thank you, Tom. You are the best friend ever. I'm sorry I was jealous. Can we share the whistle?" + +Tom nodded and hugged Lily back. They both smiled and whistled together. The birds joined them and sang along. It was a beautiful day in the park. +Tom was restless. He did not want to sleep. He wanted to play with his toys and watch the screen. But Mom said it was time for bed. She carried him to his room and tucked him in. + +"Please, Mom, can I watch the screen for a little bit?" Tom asked. + +"No, Tom, you need to sleep. The screen is not good for you at night. It makes your eyes tired and your brain busy. You need to rest and dream," Mom said. + +"But I'm not tired. I'm bored. The screen is fun. It has colors and sounds and stories," Tom said. + +"I know, Tom, but the screen is not the only fun thing. You have your books and your teddy and your imagination. You can make up your own stories and pretend you are in them. That's more fun than the screen," Mom said. + +She kissed him good night and turned off the light. She left the door open a little bit. + +Tom lay in his bed. He looked at his books and his teddy. He tried to think of a story. But he still wanted to watch the screen. He got up and tiptoed to the door. He peeked outside. He saw the screen in the living room. It was on. He saw Dad watching the screen. He smiled. He ran to the living room. + +"Dad, can I watch the screen with you?" Tom asked. + +Dad looked at Tom. He was surprised. He saw Mom coming behind Tom. She was not happy. + +"Tom, what are you doing here? You should be in bed," Dad said. + +"Sorry, Dad, but I'm restless. I want to watch the screen. Please, can I?" Tom said. + +"No, Tom, you can't. Mom is right. The screen is not good for you at night. You need to sleep. Come on, I'll carry you back to your room," Dad said. + +He picked up Tom and carried him to his room. He put him in his bed and tucked him in. + +"Good night, Tom. I love you. Sleep well," Dad said. + +He kissed him good night and turned off the light. He left the door open a little bit. + +Tom lay in his bed. He felt sad. He wanted to watch the screen. But he also wanted to make Mom and Dad happy. He closed his eyes. He thought of a story. He pretended he was in the story. He saw colors and sounds and adventures. He smiled. He fell asleep. He dreamed. +True is a dog who likes to joke. He likes to play with his friends, the other dogs in the park. Sometimes, he jokes by hiding behind a tree and barking. Sometimes, he jokes by chasing a ball and then running away with it. Sometimes, he jokes by rolling in the mud and getting filthy. + +One day, True met a new dog in the park. His name was Spot. Spot was white with black spots. He was very clean and shiny. True wanted to be friends with Spot. He thought of a joke to make Spot laugh. + +"Hello, Spot," True said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, I do," Spot said. "What do you want to play?" + +"Let's play catch," True said. He saw a ball near a puddle. He ran to the ball and picked it up with his mouth. Then he ran to the puddle and jumped in. He splashed water and mud all over himself and the ball. He looked very filthy. + +"Ha ha, this is my joke," True said. He ran back to Spot and dropped the ball at his feet. "Now you catch the ball and throw it to me." + +Spot looked at the ball. It was wet and dirty. He looked at True. He was wet and dirty too. He did not think it was a funny joke. He did not want to play with the ball or with True. + +"Yuck, that is not a joke, that is a mess," Spot said. He turned around and walked away. He did not want to be friends with True. + +True felt sad. He did not understand why Spot did not like his joke. He thought it was a good joke. He liked to be filthy. He thought Spot would like it too. + +He went to his other friends, the other dogs in the park. They saw him and laughed. They liked his joke. They liked to be filthy too. They played with him and the ball. They had fun. + +True was happy again. He forgot about Spot. He had his friends who liked his jokes. He was a dog who liked to joke. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to jog in the park. They jogged fast and slow, up and down, and had fun. One day, they saw a big blackboard near the playground. It had many colors and shapes on it. Lily and Ben wanted to draw on the blackboard too. + +They ran to the blackboard and picked up some chalk. Lily drew a flower and Ben drew a car. They were happy with their drawings. But then, a fierce boy came and saw them. He was bigger and older than Lily and Ben. He did not like their drawings. He said, "This is my blackboard. Go away. Your drawings are bad." + +He took the chalk and erased Lily's flower and Ben's car. He drew a monster and a skull. He laughed and said, "This is how you draw. My drawings are good." + +Lily and Ben were sad and scared. They did not want to fight with the fierce boy. They ran away from the blackboard and the playground. They jogged back to their homes and told their moms what happened. + +Their moms hugged them and said, "You did the right thing. You should not argue with someone who is mean and rude. You should be kind and respectful to others. Your drawings were beautiful and creative. The blackboard is for everyone to share and enjoy. Maybe next time, you can find a friendlier boy or girl to draw with." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Thank you, mom. We learned our lesson. We will be careful and nice when we jog and draw in the park." They smiled and hugged their moms. They hoped to have a better day tomorrow. +Tom loved to swim in the sea. He liked to splash and dive and see the fish. But he was afraid of jellyfish. They looked like big blobs with long strings. He heard they could sting and hurt him. + +One day, he went to the beach with his mom and dad. They told him to be careful and not go too far. Tom saw a big boat near the shore. It was filthy and rusty. He wondered what was inside. He swam closer to peek. + +He saw a lot of jellyfish in the water. They came from the boat. They were trapped in a big net. They looked sad and scared. Tom felt sorry for them. He wanted to help them. He reached for the net. + +But the net was sharp and cut his hand. He cried out in pain. The jellyfish heard him and moved. Some of them touched his leg and arm. They stung him with their strings. He felt a burning and itching. He screamed and swam away. + +He reached the shore and ran to his mom and dad. They saw his hand and leg and arm. They were red and swollen. They wrapped them in a towel and took him to the car. They drove him to the doctor. + +Tom was very sore and unhappy. He wished he never saw the boat and the jellyfish. He fell asleep in the car. He had a bad dream. He dreamed he was a jellyfish. He was stuck in a net. He was filthy and hurt. He wanted to be free. He wanted to be Tom. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and create things. They create houses, cars, animals and more. They have fun and share their blocks. + +One day, Ben has a new idea. He wants to create a tall tower with all the blocks. He tells Mia his idea. + +"Let's create a tall tower, Mia. It will be the tallest tower ever. We can see everything from the top. It will be news for everyone." + +Mia is not sure. She likes to create different things, not just one thing. She thinks a tall tower is boring. She tells Ben her idea. + +"I don't want to create a tall tower, Ben. It is not fun. I want to create a zoo with many animals. We can make noises and pretend to feed them. It will be news for everyone." + +Ben and Mia do not agree. They start to argue. They want to use the blocks their way. They do not want to share. They pull and push the blocks. They make a big mess. + +Their teacher sees them. She is not happy. She tells them to stop. + +"Ben and Mia, stop fighting. You are not being nice. You are not sharing. You are making a big mess. You need to say sorry and work together. You can create many things with the blocks, but you need to respect each other's ideas. Can you do that?" + +Ben and Mia feel bad. They know they were wrong. They say sorry to each other. They decide to work together. They create a tall tower and a zoo with the blocks. They have fun and share their blocks. They show their teacher and their friends. They are proud of their creations. They are news for everyone. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play in the big house. One day, they find a door they never saw before. It is in the basement. It is dark and scary. + +"Let's enter the door and see what is inside," Tom says. He is brave and curious. + +"No, let's not. It is too quiet and spooky. Maybe there is a monster or a ghost," Lily says. She is afraid and careful. + +Tom does not listen to Lily. He opens the door and walks in. Lily follows him. She does not want to be alone. + +Inside the door, they see a big chest. It is shiny and old. Tom thinks it has treasure inside. He runs to the chest and opens it. + +But there is no treasure. There is only a loud noise. It is a trap. The chest has a horn that makes a lot of sound. It hurts their ears. + +Tom and Lily scream and run out of the door. They are sorry they entered the door. They hug each other and promise to never go there again. They learned their lesson. They should be more quiet and careful. +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked the spray bottle best. They filled it with water and pretended to be firefighters. + +"Look, there is a fire in the fireplace!" Ben said, pointing to the red and yellow flames. + +"We have to put it out!" Anna said, and sprayed water at the fireplace. The water made a hissing sound and some steam came out. + +"Good job, Anna!" Ben said, and sprayed some more water. "We are brave firefighters!" + +Mom came into the room and saw the wet fireplace and the children with the spray bottle. She was not angry, but she was not glad either. + +"Anna, Ben, what are you doing?" she asked. + +"We are playing firefighters, Mom!" Anna said. "We saved the fireplace from the fire!" + +Mom smiled a little. She was glad that the children were having fun, but she did not want them to spray water on the fireplace. + +"Firefighters are very important, but the fireplace is not really on fire," she said. "It is just a pretend fire, to keep us warm and cozy. You don't need to spray water on it, or you might break it." + +"Oh, we did not know that, Mom," Ben said. "We are sorry." + +Mom hugged the children and gave them a towel to dry the fireplace. + +"It's okay, I know you were just playing," she said. "But next time, please ask me before you spray water on anything. And be careful with the spray bottle, it can hurt your eyes or your skin." + +"Okay, Mom, we will," Anna said. "Can we play firefighters outside?" + +"Yes, you can, but only if you wear your coats and boots," Mom said. "It is cold and snowy outside." + +Anna and Ben put on their coats and boots and took the spray bottle with them. They ran outside and sprayed water on the snow and the trees. They had a lot of fun playing firefighters in the snow. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cage in the park. Inside the cage, there is a gorilla.

He says to Ben, "Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben says, "Yes, I want to play with you. What do you want to make?" + +Sam says, "I want to make a big square. A square is a shape with four sides that are all the same. Like this." He shows Ben a block that is a square. + +Ben says, "I know what a square is. I have many squares too. Look." He shows Sam his blocks that are squares. + +Sam says, "Your squares are bad. They are too small and too colorful. My squares are good. They are big and white. You have to use my squares to make a big square." + +Ben says, "No, I don't have to use your squares. I like my squares. They are not bad. They are fun and pretty. You are bad. You are mean and bossy." + +Sam says, "No, you are bad. You are silly and stupid. Give me your squares. I need them to make a big square." + +Sam tries to grab Ben's blocks. Ben does not let him. He holds his blocks tight. He says, "No, these are my blocks. You can't have them. Go away." + +Sam and Ben start to fight. They push and pull and shout. They are not happy. They are not friends. + +A lady sees them. She is Ben's mom. She comes to them. She says, "Stop, stop, stop. What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +Ben and Sam stop fighting. They look at the lady. They are scared. They say, "Sorry, sorry, sorry." + +The lady says, "You should not fight. You should share and be nice. You can play with both your blocks. You can make different shapes. You can have fun together. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, we understand." + +The lady says, "Good. Now, say sorry to each other and shake hands." + +Ben and Sam say sorry to each other and shake hands. They are not mad anymore. They are sorry. + +The lady says, "Good.

Have fun." + +Ben and Sam start to play with their blocks. They make different shapes. They make a big square, a big circle, a big triangle and a big star. They use both their blocks. They are happy. They are friends. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big house with a charming garden. They wanted to explore it, so they climbed over the fence. They did not know that the house belonged to a mean old lady who hated children. + +They ran around the garden, picking flowers and chasing butterflies. They saw a welcome mat at the door and thought it was an invitation. They opened the door and went inside. They did not see the sign that said "Beware of the dog". + +The old lady was upstairs, taking a nap. She heard a noise and woke up. She saw two boys in her living room, touching her things. She was very angry. She grabbed her cane and shouted, "Get out of my house, you little thieves!" + +Tim and Sam heard the old lady and panicked. They tried to run away, but they did not know where the exit was. They ran into different rooms, looking for a way out. They did not see the big dog that was sleeping in the kitchen. + +The dog heard the old lady and the boys and woke up. He smelled strangers and barked. He ran after Tim and Sam, who were terrified. They screamed and cried, but no one came to help them. + +The old lady came downstairs and saw the dog chasing the boys. She smiled and said, "Good boy, catch them and teach them a lesson!" She locked the door and called the police. + +Tim and Sam were caught by the dog and bitten. They were hurt and scared. They wished they had never entered the house. They learned a hard lesson: never trespass on someone else's property. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has many vegetables. The truck stops near the park. + +"Look, Mia, vegetables!" Tim says. He likes vegetables. He likes carrots and peas and corn. + +"Let's go see, Tim!" Mia says. She likes vegetables too. She likes tomatoes and cucumbers and lettuce. + +They run to the truck. They see a man. The man is whistling. He is happy. He is taking the vegetables out of the truck. + +"Hello, man!" Tim says. "Can we see your vegetables?" + +"Hello, kids!" the man says. "Sure, you can see my vegetables. But be careful, some of them are smelly!" + +He shows them the vegetables. They see many colors and shapes. They see green and red and yellow and orange. They see round and long and flat and curly. + +They smell the vegetables. Some of them smell good. They smell fresh and sweet and juicy. Some of them smell bad. They smell old and rotten and yucky. + +"Yuck, what is that?" Mia says. She points to a brown and soft vegetable. It smells very bad. + +"That is a potato," the man says. "But it is not a good potato. It is a bad potato. It is spoiled. I have to throw it away." + +He picks up the bad potato. He throws it in a big bin. The bin has other bad vegetables. The bin is very smelly. + +"Bye, man!" Tim says. "Thank you for showing us your vegetables!" + +"Bye, kids!" the man says. "You are welcome! Enjoy your vegetables!" + +Tim and Mia run back to the park. They are hungry. They want to eat some vegetables. They whistle. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of plastic cars, dolls, and animals. They like to make up stories and pretend they are famous drivers, singers, and explorers. + +"Look, Lily, this is my new car. It is very fast and shiny. I can pass anyone on the road," Tom says, holding a red plastic car. + +"That's nice, Tom, but I have a better car. It is pink and has a lot of stickers. It can fly and sing. I am a famous singer and I go to many places," Lily says, holding a pink plastic car. + +"No, you can't fly and sing. That's silly. Cars can't do that. Only planes and birds can fly and sing," Tom says, frowning. + +"Yes, they can. My car is magic. It can do anything I want. Watch this," Lily says, throwing her car in the air. It makes a loud noise and falls on the floor. + +"Ow, Lily, that hurt. You hit me with your car. That's not nice. You have to say sorry," Tom says, rubbing his head. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to hit you. I just wanted to show you my car. Are you okay?" Lily says, looking worried. + +"I'm okay, Lily. But your car is not. Look, it is broken. The stickers are gone and the wheels are bent. You have to be careful with your toys," Tom says, picking up the pink car. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to break my car. I liked it a lot. Can you fix it?" Lily says, sniffling. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe we can ask Mom or Dad. They know how to fix things. Come on, let's go find them," Tom says, holding Lily's hand. + +"Okay, Tom. Thank you for being my friend. I like playing with you," Lily says, smiling. + +"I like playing with you too, Lily. You are fun and creative. Maybe we can play again later," Tom says, smiling back. + +They walk to the kitchen, where Mom and Dad are making lunch. They show them the broken car and ask for help. Mom and Dad hug them and say they will try to fix it. They also say they are proud of them for sharing and caring. Tom and Lily are happy and hungry. They sit down and eat their sandwiches. They wonder what they will play next. +Ben and Jen were twins who liked to play by the sea. They saw a big yacht with a red flag and wanted to go inside. They ran to the dock and climbed on the yacht. They did not see the sign that said "Keep Out". + +The yacht was full of fun things. There were toys, books, clothes, and snacks. Ben and Jen played with everything they could find. They did not hear the loud noise of the engine starting. They did not feel the yacht moving away from the dock. + +The yacht sailed far away from the shore. Ben and Jen looked out the window and saw only water. They were scared and wanted to go back. They tried to find a way out, but all the doors were locked. They shouted for help, but no one heard them. + +The yacht belonged to a bad man who stole things from other people. He was not happy to see Ben and Jen on his yacht. He thought they were spies or thieves. He was very angry and decided to punish them. He took them to a dark room and locked them inside. He said he would never let them go. + +Ben and Jen cried and hugged each other. They wished they had never gone on the yacht. They wished they had listened to the sign. They wished they had stayed by the sea. They realized they had been very silly. But it was too late. +Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and plant and water the flowers. They also liked to eat some of the fruits and vegetables that grew there. But they had to be careful, because some of them were not good to eat. + +One day, they saw a big basket of prunes on the table. Prunes were dried plums that were wrinkly and sweet. Lila and Tom loved prunes, so they ran to the table and grabbed some. + +"Yum, yum, these are so good!" Lila said. + +"Let's take some more!" Tom said. + +They took some more prunes and put them in their pockets. Then they went back to the garden to play. + +But they did not know that the prunes were very old. They had been sitting on the table for a long time, and they had started to rot. Rot means that something is bad and smelly and has germs on it. + +As they played, the prunes in their pockets got warmer and softer and more rotten. They also got sticky and messy and stained their clothes. + +Soon, they started to smell something bad. + +"Yuck, what is that?" Lila asked. + +"I don't know, maybe it's the flowers," Tom said. + +They sniffed the flowers, but they smelled nice. + +"Maybe it's the dirt," Lila said. + +They sniffed the dirt, but it smelled normal. + +"Maybe it's us," Tom said. + +They sniffed each other, and they made a face. + +"Ew, it is us!" Lila said. + +They looked at their pockets, and they saw the rotten prunes. They were brown and mushy and furry. Furry means that something has hair or fuzz on it. The rotten prunes had white fuzz on them, and that was mold. Mold is a kind of germ that grows on rotten things. + +"Yuck, yuck, yuck!" Lila and Tom said. + +They threw the rotten prunes away, and they ran to the house. They wanted to wash their clothes and their hands and their faces. + +But their mom saw them, and she was not happy. + +"What have you done?" she asked. "You took the prunes from the table, and you made a mess!" + +She was angry, because the prunes were for the compost. Compost is a pile of old food and leaves and grass that turns into dirt for the garden. The prunes were not for eating, they were for the compost. + +Lila and Tom felt sorry, and they said they were sorry. + +"We didn't know, mom, we thought they were good," Lila said. + +"We like prunes, mom, but not these ones," Tom said. + +Mom sighed, and she said they had to learn to ask before they take something. She also said they had to help her clean the mess. She said they could have some fresh prunes later, if they were good. + +Lila and Tom nodded, and they said they would. They learned their lesson, and they never took old prunes again. They only took fresh ones, and they always asked first. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a bike. They have fun. + +But one day, a big boy comes to the park. He is mean. He takes Anna's ball and Ben's bike. He laughs at them. He says, "You are silly. You are small. You cannot have these things. They are mine now." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They want their ball and bike back. They ask the big boy to give them back. But he says, "No. Go away. You are too slow. You cannot catch me." + +He runs away with the ball and the bike. He thinks he is clever. But he is not. + +Anna and Ben have a plan. They are clever. They see a shoe on the ground. It is the big boy's shoe. He lost it when he ran away. Anna picks up the shoe. She says to Ben, "I have an idea. Follow me." + +They run after the big boy. They see him near a tree. He is playing with the ball and the bike. He does not see them. Anna and Ben sneak up behind him. Anna throws the shoe at his head. He drops the ball and the bike. He says, "Ow! Who did that?" + +Anna and Ben grab the ball and the bike. They run away. They tease the big boy. They say, "You are silly. You are big. You cannot keep these things. They are ours now." + +The big boy is angry. He wants his shoe back. He chases them. But he is too slow. He cannot catch them. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They have their ball and bike back. They have their shoe too. They say, "We are clever. We are friends. We can share these things. They are fun." +Lily and Tom were playing with blocks. They wanted to make a big tower, but the blocks kept falling down. Lily had an idea. + +"Let's use glue!" she said. "Glue will make the blocks stick together." + +Tom nodded. He liked glue. He found a bottle of glue in the drawer and opened it. He squeezed some glue on a block and put another block on top. He did the same with more blocks. + +"Look, Lily!" he said. "Our tower is growing!" + +Lily smiled. She took some blocks and glued them too. She tried to put them on top of Tom's blocks, but they did not fit. + +"Uh-oh," she said. "These blocks are too big. They don't fit on your blocks." + +Tom looked at the tower. He saw that Lily's blocks were different from his. His blocks were small and square. Lily's blocks were big and round. + +"I know!" he said. "We can make two towers. One with your blocks and one with mine. Then we can put them next to each other." + +Lily liked that idea. She nodded. She moved her blocks to the side and made her own tower. Tom made his tower too. They worked hard and used a lot of glue. + +Soon, they had two towers. They were very proud of them. They put them next to each other and admired them. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "We made two towers. They are very tall and strong." + +"Yes!" Tom said. "We are very good at making towers. We understand how to use glue and blocks." + +They hugged each other and smiled. They were happy. They liked playing with blocks and glue. They liked being friends. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big hammer in the garage. They wanted to use it to make a fort with some boxes and blankets. + +"Let me have the hammer, Ben!" Sam said. "I need it to make the door." + +"No, I want it!" Ben said. "I need it to make the roof." + +They started to fight over the hammer. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see that their dog, Spot, was watching them. + +Spot was a good dog who loved his boys. He did not like to see them fight. He wanted to help them. He saw the hammer on the floor. He thought it was a toy. He picked it up with his mouth and ran away. + +"Hey, where did the hammer go?" Ben said. He looked around. He did not see Spot. + +"Someone took it!" Sam said. He looked around. He did not see Spot either. + +They were frightened. They thought someone had come into the garage and stolen their hammer. They ran to their mom and told her what happened. + +Mom was calm. She knew where the hammer was. She had seen Spot run away with it. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, boys. I know who has the hammer. It's Spot. He wanted to play with you. He did not mean to make it vanish. He thought it was a toy." + +She took them to the backyard. There they saw Spot. He was wagging his tail and chewing on the hammer. He was happy to see his boys. + +"Spot, you silly dog!" Ben said. He took the hammer from him. He hugged him and said, "I'm sorry we fought, Sam. Let's share the hammer and make the fort together." + +"Me too, Ben. I'm sorry we fought," Sam said. He hugged him and said, "Let's be nice to each other and to Spot. He is our friend." + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that fighting is not good. They learned that sharing is better. They learned that Spot loved them and wanted them to be happy. They had fun making the fort with the hammer and playing with Spot. They were happy. +Leo was a mighty lion who lived in the jungle. He liked to hunt and roar and whistle. He whistled to call his friends and to scare his enemies. He was the king of the jungle and everyone respected him. + +One day, he saw a man walking in the jungle. The man had a spear in his hand and a hat on his head. Leo did not like the man. He thought the man was a thief who wanted to take his land and his food. He decided to attack the man and make him go away. + +He hid behind a big tree and waited for the man to come closer. When the man was near, Leo jumped out and roared and whistled. He wanted to frighten the man and make him run. But the man did not run. He stood still and looked at Leo. He raised his spear and threw it at Leo. + +The spear flew fast and hit Leo in his chest. Leo felt a sharp pain and fell to the ground. He could not roar or whistle anymore. He could only moan and bleed. He looked at the man and wondered why he did that. He did not understand the man. + +The man walked to Leo and picked up his spear. He looked at Leo and said, "I'm sorry, lion. I did not want to hurt you. But you scared me and I had to defend myself. You are a mighty lion, but you are not the king of the jungle. You are just a wild animal. And I am a hunter. That is how it is." He put his hat on his head and walked away. He left Leo alone in the jungle. Leo closed his eyes and died. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of fruit stickers. They liked to stick them on paper, on the wall, on their clothes, and sometimes on each other. + +One day, they were very busy sticking fruit stickers on everything they could find. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. She came to their room and saw the mess they had made. She was not happy. + +"Ben and Mia, what are you doing?" she asked. "You have to stop playing and come eat. And look at all these stickers! You have to clean them up later." + +Ben and Mia did not want to stop playing. They wanted to stick more fruit stickers. They did not listen to their mom. They pretended they did not hear her. They kept sticking stickers on each other. + +Ben stuck a banana sticker on Mia's nose. Mia stuck a grape sticker on Ben's ear. They laughed and laughed. Then Ben had an idea. He saw a pineapple sticker. He thought it would be funny to poke Mia with it. He took the sticker and poked Mia's arm with it. + +"Ow!" Mia cried. "That hurts! Why did you do that?" + +Ben thought it was funny. He laughed and said, "It's just a sticker. It's not a real pineapple. Don't be a baby." + +Mia was angry. She felt a sting on her arm. She saw a red mark where Ben poked her. She did not think it was funny. She wanted to poke Ben back. She looked for a sticker that would hurt him. She saw a lemon sticker. She took the sticker and poked Ben's cheek with it. + +"Ow!" Ben cried. "That hurts! Why did you do that?" + +Mia said, "It's just a sticker. It's not a real lemon. Don't be a baby." + +Ben and Mia were both hurt and angry. They did not laugh anymore. They did not want to play anymore. They started to cry. + +Their mom heard them crying. She came back to their room and saw their tears and their red marks. She was sad and worried. + +"What happened?" she asked. "Why are you crying? Did you hurt yourselves?" + +Ben and Mia told their mom what they did. They said they were sorry. They said they did not mean to hurt each other. They said they were just playing. + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are sorry. But you have to be careful when you play. You have to be gentle and kind. You have to respect each other. You have to remember that stickers are not toys. They are not for poking. They are for sticking. And even if they are not real, they can still hurt. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Mia nodded. They said they understood. They said they would not poke each other again. They said they would be gentle and kind. They said they would respect each other. They said they would clean up their stickers. + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's good. I love you both. Now let's go have some lunch. And maybe some real fruit for dessert." +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. Sometimes they shared their blocks and sometimes they wanted their own. + +"Look at my tower!" Lily said. "It is very tall and strong." + +Ben looked at her tower and nodded. He wanted to make his own tower too. He took some blocks from the box and started to stack them. + +"Hey, those are my blocks!" Lily said. "Give them back!" + +Ben shook his head. "No, they are mine. I need them for my tower." + +Lily was angry. She tried to grab the blocks from Ben, but he held them tight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. She came into the room and saw the mess. "Why are you fighting over the blocks? There are enough for both of you." + +Lily and Ben stopped and looked at Mom. They did not know what to say. + +Mom sighed. "How about we put the blocks away and have a snack instead? I made some cookies. They are delicious." + +Lily and Ben liked cookies. They nodded and smiled. + +"Okay, Mom," they said. + +Mom smiled too. She helped them put the blocks back in the box. Then she gave them each a cookie and a glass of milk. + +Lily and Ben ate their cookies and drank their milk. They were happy and full. + +"Mom, can we play with the blocks again?" Lily asked. + +Mom shrugged. "Sure, if you can play nicely and share." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They thought about their towers and their houses and their bridges. They thought about their cookies and their milk. + +They nodded. "Okay, Mom," they said. + +They took the blocks out of the box and started to play. They shared their blocks and helped each other. They had fun. + +Mom watched them and smiled. She was glad they were getting along. She hoped it would last. She knew it was a good result. +Sam and Lily were playing hide and seek in the park. Sam was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Sam counted to ten and then opened his eyes. He looked around and saw a big tree, a slide, a swing, and a bench. Where could Lily be? + +He decided to search behind the big tree first. He ran to the tree and peeked behind it. He saw a man sitting on the ground. The man had a big mustache and a hat. He was reading a book. Sam said hello to the man. + +"Hello, little boy," the man said. "Are you looking for someone?" + +"Yes, I'm looking for Lily. She is my friend. We are playing hide and seek. Have you seen her?" Sam asked. + +The man shook his head. "No, I haven't seen her. Maybe she is hiding somewhere else. Good luck finding her," he said. + +Sam thanked the man and ran to the slide. He climbed up the ladder and looked down the slide. He saw a pair of shoes sticking out from the bottom. He smiled and slid down the slide. He grabbed the shoes and pulled. He heard a loud scream. + +"Sam, you found me!" Lily said. She came out from under the slide. She was laughing and holding her head. "That was a good hiding spot, but you were too smart for me." + +Sam hugged Lily and said, "You were a good hider, but I was a good searcher. You have a funny scream. It was very loud." + +Lily giggled and said, "You have a funny face. You have a mustache." + +Sam touched his face and felt some dirt on his upper lip. He had gotten it from the man's book. He laughed and said, "You're right. I have a mustache. Do you like it?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I like it. It makes you look like the man behind the tree. But I like you more. You're my best friend." + +Sam and Lily held hands and ran to the swing. They decided to play another game. They were having fun in the park. +Lila and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to dig in the soil and find worms and bugs. They have a big bucket to put them in. + +Lila sees a red pepper growing on a plant. She picks it and shows it to Ben. "Look, a pepper!" she says. "It is red and shiny." + +Ben looks at the pepper. He is curious. He wants to taste it. He suggests, "Let's eat it. Maybe it is sweet like a berry." + +Lila is not sure. She remembers that Mommy sometimes puts peppers in the food and says they are spicy. She says, "No, Ben. It might be spicy. It might make your mouth hot and hurt." + +Ben does not listen. He bites the pepper. He feels a burning sensation in his mouth. He spits out the pepper and cries. "Ow, ow, ow! It is spicy! It is spicy!" + +Lila feels sorry for Ben. She gives him some water from the hose. She says, "I told you, Ben. Peppers are spicy. Next time, listen to me." + +Ben drinks the water and feels better. He says, "Sorry, Lila. You were right. Peppers are spicy. Next time, I will listen to you." +Anna was sick. She felt hot and tired. Mommy came to her room with a thermometer. She put it in Anna's mouth and waited. + +"Beep! Beep!" The thermometer made a noise. Mommy looked at it and frowned. + +"Oh, Anna, you have a fever. You need to rest and drink some water. I will prepare some soup for you," Mommy said. + +Anna did not like soup. She liked pizza and ice cream. She shook her head and spat out the thermometer. + +"No, Mommy, no soup! Soup is sour and yucky! I want pizza and ice cream!" Anna cried. + +Mommy sighed and hugged Anna. + +"I know, sweetie, but soup will make you feel better. Pizza and ice cream will make you feel worse. Please, try some soup for Mommy. I will put some cheese on it and give you a cracker," Mommy said. + +Anna pouted and crossed her arms. She did not want to try the soup. She wanted to eat what she liked. She did not care if she was sick. + +Mommy smiled and kissed Anna's forehead. + +"Anna, I love you very much. I want you to be healthy and happy. Soup is good for you. It has carrots and chicken and noodles. It is not sour, it is warm and tasty. Please, give it a chance. If you eat some soup, I will read you a story and sing you a song," Mommy said. + +Anna looked at Mommy's eyes. She saw that Mommy was telling the truth. She saw that Mommy cared for her. She felt a little sorry for being mean. + +"Okay, Mommy, I will try some soup. But only a little bit. And then you read me a story and sing me a song," Anna said. + +Mommy nodded and smiled. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a good girl. I will prepare some soup for you right now. You wait here and drink some water. I will be back soon," Mommy said. + +She left the room and went to the kitchen. Anna lay down on her bed and drank some water. She hoped the soup would not be too sour. She hoped she would feel better soon. She hoped Mommy would read her a story and sing her a song. She loved Mommy very much. +Anna liked to go to the park with her mom. She liked to see the flowers, the birds and the squirrels. But her favorite thing was to see the deer. The deer lived in a big fence, and sometimes they came close to the people. + +One day, Anna saw a very attractive deer. It had brown fur, big ears and a white spot on its nose. Anna wanted to pet it, but her mom said no. + +"Deer are wild animals, Anna. They might be scared or angry if you touch them. You can look at them, but not pet them." + +Anna was sad, but she listened to her mom. She watched the deer from a distance, and smiled when it looked at her. She wished she could be friends with the deer. + +Then, she had an idea. She took a carrot from her lunch bag, and broke it in half. She held one piece in her hand, and threw the other piece over the fence. The attractive deer saw the carrot, and walked towards it. It ate the carrot, and looked for more. + +Anna waved her hand, and showed the deer the other piece of carrot. She said softly, "Here, deer. I have more carrot for you. Come here, please." + +The deer was curious, and hungry. It walked closer to the fence, and saw Anna's hand. It sniffed the carrot, and then gently took it from Anna's hand. It chewed the carrot, and licked Anna's fingers. + +Anna was very happy. She felt the deer's soft nose, and stroked its fur. She said, "You are a very nice deer. I like you. What is your name?" + +The deer did not answer, but it made a soft sound. It seemed to like Anna, too. Anna and the deer looked at each other, and smiled. + +Anna's mom watched them, and smiled, too. She was proud of Anna. She said, "You are very brave, Anna. You managed to make friends with the deer. But remember, not all deer are friendly. You have to be careful, and respect them." + +Anna nodded, and hugged her mom. She said, "I know, mom. I love the deer, but I love you more." +Lily liked animals. She liked to see them in books and on TV. She liked to play with her toy animals. She wanted to have a real animal at home. But her mom and dad said no. They said animals were too much work and too messy. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big dog with a red collar. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail. Lily wanted to pet the dog, but her mom said to ask the owner first. The owner was a nice lady who said yes. Lily petted the dog and smiled. She asked the lady what the dog's name was. + +"His name is Rex," the lady said. "He is a good boy, but he gets lonely sometimes. I have to work a lot and he stays at home alone. I wish I could find him a new home with someone who can play with him more." + +Lily had an idea. She looked at her mom and said, "Can we bring Rex home? Please, please, please? He can be my animal. I will take care of him and play with him. He will not be lonely anymore. He will be happy with us." + +Her mom looked uncomfortable. She liked animals too, but she knew Rex was too big and too loud for their small apartment. She also knew Lily was too young to take care of a dog by herself. She did not want to hurt Lily's feelings, but she also did not want to make a promise she could not keep. She tried to explain to Lily why they could not bring Rex home, but Lily did not listen. She kept begging and crying. + +The lady saw that Lily was upset and felt sorry for her. She said, "Why don't you come with me and Rex for a walk? Maybe you can see how much work he is and change your mind. You can also see where he lives and how he likes it there." + +Lily agreed, hoping that her mom would change her mind too. She took Rex's leash and followed the lady. Her mom came along, hoping that Lily would see reason. They walked for a while and came to a big house with a fence and a yard. The lady opened the gate and let Rex run inside. He barked and jumped and ran around. He looked happy and free. + +Lily saw how much space Rex had and how much he enjoyed it. She realized that he would not like their small apartment. He would be uncomfortable and sad. She felt sad too, but she also felt happy for Rex. She said goodbye to him and thanked the lady. She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I understand now. Rex is not our animal. He is her animal. Maybe we can find another animal that is right for us. A smaller animal. A quieter animal. A cuddlier animal." + +Her mom smiled and kissed her. She said, "I'm proud of you, Lily. You are a smart and kind girl. Maybe we can find another animal for you someday. But for now, let's go home and play with your toy animals. They are your animals too, and they love you very much." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new path in the park. It is behind some trees and flowers. They want to see where it goes. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Mia says. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"OK, Mia!" Tom says. "But we have to be careful. Mom and Dad said we should not go too far." + +They hold hands and walk on the path. They see birds and bugs and rocks. They hear a stream and a wind. They are happy. + +But then, the path becomes dark and narrow. They do not see the sun or the park anymore. They only see trees and shadows. They are scared. + +"Tom, I don't like this path," Mia says. "I want to go back." + +"Me too, Mia," Tom says. "But I don't know where we are. I don't understand this path. It is not like the other paths." + +They try to find the way back, but they are lost. They cry and hug each other. They hope someone will find them. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is calling their names. She is looking for them. + +"Mom! Mom!" Tom and Mia shout. "We are here! We are here!" + +Mom hears them and runs to them. She is angry and worried. She hugs them and kisses them. + +"Tom! Mia! What are you doing here?" Mom says. "This path is not for children. It is dangerous. You could have been hurt. Why did you go here?" + +"Mom, we are sorry," Tom and Mia say. "We wanted to see where the path goes. We thought it would be fun. But it was not. It was scary. We were lost. We did not understand the path." + +Mom sighs and smiles. She is glad they are safe. She holds their hands and leads them back to the park. + +"Next time, you have to listen to me and Dad," Mom says. "We know what is best for you. We love you. There are many other paths in the park that are available and safe for you to play. But this path is not one of them. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mom, we understand," Tom and Mia say. "We will not go on this path again. We will only go on the paths you and Dad say we can go on. We love you too." + +They go back to the park and play with their toys and friends. They are happy again. They do not think about the path anymore. They have learned their lesson. +Lily and Ben like to create things with their blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, animals and more. They have fun playing with their blocks on the floor. + +One day, they decide to create a tower with their blocks. They want to make it very high, as high as the ceiling. They start to stack the blocks on top of each other, carefully and slowly. They use all the blocks they have. + +"Look, Lily, our tower is so high!" Ben says, proudly. + +"Yes, Ben, it is amazing!" Lily says, happily. + +They stand back and admire their tower. They are very proud of their creation. They clap their hands and smile. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Spot. Spot runs into the room, wagging his tail. He sees the tower and thinks it is a toy. He jumps and barks at the tower, trying to play with it. + +"Oh no, Spot, stop!" Lily and Ben shout. + +But it is too late. Spot knocks down the tower with his paw. The blocks fall and scatter on the floor. The tower is gone. + +Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They look at Spot, who looks confused and sorry. He licks their faces and wags his tail. + +"Bad dog, Spot, you ruined our tower!" Lily says, crying. + +"Go away, Spot, we don't want to play with you!" Ben says, frowning. + +Spot whines and lowers his head. He feels bad for making them upset. He wants to make them happy again. + +He looks around and sees the blocks on the floor. He has an idea. He picks up a block with his mouth and brings it to Lily and Ben. He drops it in front of them and wags his tail. + +He wants to help them create a new tower. He wants to play with them and their blocks. + +Lily and Ben see the block and Spot's face. They realize that Spot did not mean to break their tower. He was just curious and playful. He is their friend and he loves them. + +They forgive Spot and hug him. They smile and say, "It's okay, Spot, we are not mad at you. You can help us create a new tower. We love you, too." + +They take the block and start to stack it with another block. Spot picks up another block and brings it to them. They work together and create a new tower. It is not as high as the first one, but it is still beautiful and fun. + +They play with their tower and their dog. They are happy and proud of their creation. They clap their hands and wag their tails. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big box near the trees. It had a picture of a lion on it. + +"Let's see what's inside!" Tom said. He ran to the box and tried to open it. He used his hands to tear the tape and the paper. + +Lily followed him. She was curious too. She helped him tear the box. They made a lot of noise. + +Suddenly, they heard a roar. It was loud and scary. They looked inside the box and saw a real lion. It was smelly and angry. It had sharp teeth and claws. + +Tom and Lily screamed. They dropped the box and ran away. They did not want to play with the lion. They wanted to go home. + +The lion jumped out of the box. It was hungry and tired. It had been in the box for a long time. It did not like the park. It wanted to go back to the zoo. + +It saw Tom and Lily running. It chased them. It wanted to catch them and eat them. + +But then, it saw a man in a uniform. He had a big truck and a net. He was from the zoo. He had been looking for the lion. He had lost it when he was moving it to a new cage. + +He threw the net over the lion. He put it back in the truck. He drove away. + +Tom and Lily stopped running. They were safe. They hugged each other. They were glad the man took the lion away. They learned a lesson. They would never tear a box with a lion on it again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books, but they wanted something new. They saw a big box in the corner. It had a red ribbon on it. + +"Let's open it!" Lily said. "Maybe it has a surprise for us." + +Ben nodded. He liked surprises. He ran to the box and pulled the ribbon. He lifted the lid and looked inside. He frowned. + +"What is it?" Lily asked. She came closer and peeked. + +"It's filthy!" Ben said. He pointed at the box. It was full of old clothes, papers and dust. "Who put this here?" + +Lily shrugged. She did not know. She did not like the box. It smelled bad and made her sneeze. + +"Let's close it!" she said. "And put it on the floor. Maybe Mom or Dad will take it away." + +Ben agreed. He pushed the lid back and moved the box to the floor. He and Lily went back to their toys and books. They forgot about the box. + +But the box did not forget about them. It had a secret. Inside the box, something moved. Something furry and hungry. Something that liked to eat old clothes, papers and dust. Something that waited for the night. Something that wanted to explore the living room. Something that had sharp teeth and claws. Something that was not a surprise, but a nightmare. +Sara and Ben are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They are happy and laugh. + +But then a woman comes. She is angry and shouts. She says the snowman is on her lawn. She says they have to go away. She takes the hat and the scarf from the snowman. + +Sara and Ben are sad and scared. They run to their house. They tell their mom what happened. Their mom is kind and hugs them. She says the woman is mean and wrong. She says they can make another snowman in their yard. + +She gives them a warm blanket and some hot chocolate. She says they can cover the snowman with the blanket to keep him warm. She says they can also give him a new hat and a scarf from their closet. + +Sara and Ben smile and say thank you. They go outside with the blanket and the clothes. They cover the snowman and dress him up. They say he is their friend and they love him. They are happy and laugh again. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a green ball. They kick the ball to each other. They have fun. + +One day, they play in the park until it is dark. They do not see the ball well. Tom kicks the ball hard. The ball goes far. Lily runs after the ball. She does not see Tom. + +Lily finds the ball under a tree. She is happy. She looks for Tom. She does not see Tom. She is scared. She calls Tom. + +"Tom, where are you? I have the ball. Come here!" + +Tom hears Lily. He is under another tree. He is scared too. He calls Lily. + +"Lily, where are you? I do not see you. Come here!" + +Lily and Tom hear each other. They run to each other. They hug. They are happy. They have the ball. They have each other. They go home. They do not play in the park when it is dark. They play in the park when it is light. +One day, Tom and his mom went to the sea. They saw a big boat with many people on it. Mom said, "That is a boat for watching dolphins. Do you want to go and see them?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I like dolphins. They are nice and smart and fast." + +Mom and Tom got on the boat and sat on the edge. The boat moved on the water. Tom looked around and saw many waves and birds. He asked, "Mom, where are the dolphins?" + +Mom said, "They are in the water, Tom. Sometimes they come up to breathe and play. You have to watch carefully and you will see them." + +Tom watched very carefully. He saw a splash and a fin. He pointed and said, "Mom, look! A dolphin!" + +Mom looked and said, "Yes, Tom. You are right. That is a dolphin. It is gray and shiny and smooth." + +Tom smiled and said, "Can I talk to the dolphin, mom?" + +Mom said, "You can try, Tom. Maybe the dolphin will hear you and answer." + +Tom leaned over the edge and said, "Hello, dolphin. I am Tom. I like you. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The dolphin heard Tom and came closer. It made a sound like a whistle and a click. It jumped out of the water and splashed Tom and mom. Tom laughed and said, "Thank you, dolphin. You are fun. I think you are my friend." + +The dolphin nodded and made another sound. It swam around the boat and showed Tom its tail and its teeth. Tom clapped and said, "Wow, dolphin. You are amazing. You can do many things." + +Mom said, "Tom, you are lucky. The dolphin likes you. It is very friendly and playful. But we have to go soon. The boat will part and go back to the land." + +Tom said, "Oh, mom. I don't want to go. I want to stay with the dolphin." + +Mom said, "I know, Tom. But we can't stay here forever. The dolphin has to stay in the water. It has its own family and friends. Maybe we can come back another day and see it again." + +Tom said, "Okay, mom. I understand. But can I say goodbye to the dolphin?" + +Mom said, "Of course, Tom. You can say goodbye to the dolphin." + +Tom waved and said, "Goodbye, dolphin. You are my friend. I will miss you. I hope you are happy and safe." + +The dolphin waved back and said, "Goodbye, Tom. You are my friend. I will miss you too. I hope you come back and see me again." + +The dolphin gave Tom a big smile and a kiss. Then it dived into the water and swam away. Tom felt sad and happy at the same time. He hugged mom and said, "Mom, that was the best day ever. I love the dolphin. And I love you." + +Mom hugged Tom and said, "I love you too, Tom. And I'm glad you had fun with the dolphin. It was a very special day. Now let's go back to the land and tell dad all about it." + +Tom and mom got up and went to the other side of the boat. The boat started to move and part from the sea. Tom looked back and saw the water and the sky. He thought of the dolphin and smiled. He said, "Bye, bye, sea. Bye, bye, dolphin. I will see you again." +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play pretend. They had a big box of toys that they used to make up stories. One day, they decided to play cowboys and dinosaurs. Tom put on a hat and a belt with a pistol. Sam put on a mask and a tail and pretended to be a dinosaur. + +"Bang, bang, I got you, dinosaur!" Tom shouted, pointing his pistol at Sam. + +"Roar, no you didn't, cowboy!" Sam roared back, chasing Tom around the room. + +They ran and jumped and laughed, having fun. But then, Tom tripped over a chair and fell down. His pistol flew out of his hand and landed on the floor. Sam saw it and ran to grab it. + +"Ha, ha, now I have the pistol, cowboy!" Sam said, holding the pistol in his mouth. + +"Give it back, dinosaur, that's mine!" Tom said, getting up and running after Sam. + +They started to fight over the pistol, pulling and tugging and biting. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not see their dad coming into the room. They only cared about the pistol. + +"Stop, stop, what are you doing?" their dad said, taking the pistol away from them. "This is not how you play. This is not how you treat each other. This is not how you treat your toys." + +He looked at the pistol and saw that it was broken. The trigger was snapped and the barrel was bent. He shook his head and sighed. + +"This was my pistol when I was a little boy. It was very important to me. I gave it to you because I wanted you to enjoy it and take care of it. But you did not. You fought over it and broke it. Now it is ruined. How do you think that makes me feel?" + +Tom and Sam looked at their dad and felt very sorry. They looked at the pistol and felt very sad. They looked at each other and felt very ashamed. + +"We're sorry, dad," they said together. "We're sorry, brother." + +They hugged their dad and hugged each other. They apologized for being mean and selfish. They promised to play nicely and share their toys. They learned that fighting is not fun and that breaking things is not cool. They learned that being kind and respectful is more important than having a pistol. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big, hairy dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. The dog runs to them and wags his tail. + +"Hello, dog!" Ben says. "What is your name?" + +The dog barks and licks Ben's face. Ben laughs and pets the dog. + +"Lily, do you want to pet the dog?" Ben asks. + +Lily is scared of the dog. She hides behind Ben and shakes her head. + +"No, thank you. The dog is too big and hairy. He might bite me," Lily says. + +The dog looks at Lily and tilts his head. He does not want to bite her. He wants to be her friend. + +"Don't be scared, Lily. The dog is nice. He just wants to play," Ben says. + +He takes Lily's hand and brings her closer to the dog. The dog sniffs Lily and wags his tail again. He gives her a gentle lick on the cheek. + +Lily smiles and pets the dog. She is not scared anymore. She likes the dog. + +"See, Lily? The dog is friendly. He likes us," Ben says. + +"Yes, he does. He is a good dog," Lily says. + +They play with the dog for a while. They throw a ball and the dog fetches it. They run and the dog chases them. They hug and the dog cuddles with them. + +They have fun with the dog. They talk to him and he barks back. They make a new friend. + +The end. +Tommy liked to play with his hair. He had long, curly hair that he could make into different shapes. Sometimes he pretended to be a lion, or a pirate, or a princess. He did not like to go to the barber, because the barber cut his hair with scissors and made it short and boring. + +One day, his mom said, "Tommy, we have to go to the barber today. Your hair is too long and messy. You need a haircut." + +Tommy did not want to go. He said, "No, mom, I don't need a haircut. I like my hair. It is mine. I own it. You can't cut it." + +Mom said, "Sorry, Tommy, but you have to go. The barber is nice and gentle. He will make you look neat and handsome. Come on, let's go." + +Tommy was sad and angry. He did not want to look neat and handsome. He wanted to look fun and crazy. He did not want to go to the barber. He had a plan. + +When they got to the barber shop, Tommy saw a big jar of colorful hair gel on the counter. He sneaked over and grabbed the jar. He opened it and put some gel on his hands. He rubbed it on his hair and made it stand up in spikes. He put some more gel on his hair and made it blue and green and pink. He looked in the mirror and smiled. He looked crazy. + +Mom saw Tommy and gasped. She said, "Tommy, what have you done? You look like a clown. The barber will be mad at you. You have to wash it off." + +Tommy said, "No, mom, I don't want to wash it off. I like it. It is mine. I own it. You can't change it." + +The barber came out and saw Tommy. He laughed. He said, "Wow, Tommy, you have a lot of style. You are very creative. I like your hair. Do you want me to cut it or leave it?" + +Tommy said, "Leave it, please. I want to keep it like this." + +The barber said, "Okay, Tommy, it's your choice. You own your hair. You can do whatever you want with it. But next time, please ask me before you use my gel. It is very expensive." + +Mom said, "Sorry, barber, I will pay for the gel. Tommy, you are very lucky. The barber is very nice and understanding. But you still have to wash your hair when we get home. It is not good for your hair to have so much gel on it." + +Tommy said, "Okay, mom, I will wash it later. But can I keep it like this for a little while? I want to show it to my friends. They will think I am crazy." + +Mom said, "Fine, Tommy, you can keep it for a little while. But only for a little while. And don't forget to say thank you to the barber." + +Tommy said, "Thank you, barber. You are very cool. You are the best barber ever." + +The barber said, "You're welcome, Tommy. You are very brave. You are the craziest kid ever." +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a huge hole in the fence of the farm next to their house. They were curious and wanted to see what was inside. They crawled through the hole and entered the farm. + +They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. They also saw a big red barn. They decided to explore the barn and look for more animals. They opened the door and walked inside. They heard a loud roar and saw a big lion in a cage. The lion looked angry and hungry. He had a wound on his leg that was bleeding. + +Anna and Ben were very scared and wanted to escape. They ran back to the door, but it was locked. They had trapped themselves in the barn with the lion. They screamed for help, but no one heard them. They hugged each other and cried. + +The lion saw them and growled. He wanted to eat them, but he was also in pain. He limped towards them, but he was too slow. He stopped and lay down on the hay. He looked at them with sad eyes. He was not a bad lion, he was just hurt and lonely. He had been captured by bad people who wanted to sell him. They had put him in the cage and brought him to the farm. They had not fed him or healed his wound. They had left him there to die. + +Anna and Ben saw the lion's eyes and felt sorry for him. They realized he was not a monster, he was a friend. They stopped crying and approached him slowly. They spoke to him in soft voices and stroked his fur. They tore a piece of cloth from their clothes and wrapped it around his wound. They gave him some water and food they had in their backpacks. They made him feel better and happier. + +The lion licked their faces and purred. He thanked them for their kindness and bravery. He told them his name was Leo and he wanted to go back to his home in the jungle. He asked them to help him escape from the cage and the farm. + +Anna and Ben agreed to help him. They looked for a way to open the cage and the door. They found a key hanging on the wall and used it to unlock both. They opened the cage and the door and ran outside with Leo. They saw a truck parked near the fence. It had a sign that said "Animal Rescue". They guessed it was the truck of the good people who had come to save Leo. They waved to them and told them about Leo. The good people were happy and grateful. They lifted Leo into the truck and gave him more water and food. They told Anna and Ben they would take Leo to a safe place where he could heal and be free. + +Anna and Ben said goodbye to Leo and hugged him. Leo thanked them again and told them they were his heroes. He said he would never forget them and he hoped they would visit him someday. He roared and waved his paw as the truck drove away. + +Anna and Ben smiled and waved back. They felt proud and happy. They had made a new friend and helped him escape. They had learned a lesson: never judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, the most scary things can be the most friendly. And sometimes, the most friendly things can be the most scary. They crawled back through the hole and went back to their house. They told their parents about their adventure and showed them their wound bandages. Their parents hugged them and praised them for their courage and compassion. They also told them to be careful and not to go to the farm again. They agreed and went to bed. They dreamed of Leo and his jungle home. They hoped he was well and happy. They knew they would always remember him. The end. +Mia and Anna are sisters. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in a tree. It has red and blue feathers and a long tail. Mia says, "Look, Anna, a rare bird! I want to see it closer." Anna says, "Be careful, Mia. It might fly away or bite you." + +Mia does not listen. She runs to the tree and tries to climb it. She wants to touch the bird. But the bird does not like Mia. It makes a loud noise and flaps its wings. Mia gets scared and falls down. She hurts her knee and cries. + +Anna runs to Mia and hugs her. She says, "I'm sorry, Mia. Are you okay?" Mia says, "It hurts, Anna. The bird was mean to me." Anna says, "I know, Mia. But you should not have climbed the tree. You should have sat with me and watched the bird from far away. That is safer and nicer." + +Mia nods and says, "You are right, Anna. You are a good sister. I love you." Anna says, "I love you too, Mia. Come on, let's go home and put a band-aid on your knee." They hold hands and walk home. The bird watches them and flies away. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers and grass. One day, they decided to play a game of hide and seek. Tim was the seeker and Sam was the hider. + +Sam ran around the yard, looking for a good spot to hide. He saw a big pile of grass that someone had cut and left on the ground. He thought it was a perfect place to hide. He lay down under the grass and covered himself with it. He felt mighty and clever. + +Tim counted to ten and then started to look for Sam. He looked behind the trees, under the flowers, and in the shed. He could not find Sam anywhere. He started to get bored and frustrated. He wondered where Sam was hiding. + +He saw the pile of grass and thought it was strange. He walked over to it and kicked it with his foot. He heard a scream and saw Sam's face under the grass. Sam was hurt and scared. He had a cut on his cheek from the sharp grass. He cried and yelled at Tim. + +"Tim, you are mean! You hurt me! Why did you kick me?" + +Tim was shocked and sorry. He did not know Sam was hiding there. He tried to say sorry, but Sam did not listen. He ran away to the house, crying and bleeding. He told their mom what Tim did. Mom was angry and sad. She scolded Tim and took Sam to the doctor. + +Tim felt bad and lonely. He had no one to play with. He lay down on the grass and wished he had not kicked the pile. He wished he had found Sam and hugged him. He wished they were still friends. He wished he could say sorry. But it was too late. He had ruined their game and their day. He had hurt his brother. He was not mighty. He was silly and mean. +Tim and Jen are playing in the park. They see a big sand castle that some other kids made. Tim wants to destroy it. He thinks it is fun to break things. + +"Look, Jen, a sand castle! Let's destroy it!" Tim says. + +"No, Tim, that is not nice. The other kids worked hard to make it. They will be sad if we destroy it." Jen says. + +"I don't care. I want to destroy it. It is fun." Tim says. He runs to the sand castle and kicks it with his foot. The sand castle falls apart. + +Jen is angry. She does not like Tim's behavior. She runs after him and pushes him. Tim falls on the ground. He cries. + +"Jen, why did you push me? That hurt!" Tim says. + +"Because you destroyed the sand castle. That was mean. You should say sorry to the other kids." Jen says. + +The other kids come back. They see their sand castle destroyed. They are sad and mad. They see Tim and Jen. + +"Who destroyed our sand castle?" They ask. + +"Tim did. He kicked it. He is not nice." Jen says. + +"Tim, why did you destroy our sand castle? We spent a lot of time to make it. It was beautiful. You are bad." They say. + +Tim feels sorry. He knows he did something wrong. He does not want the other kids to be sad and mad. He wants to be friends with them. + +"I am sorry. I was wrong. I should not have destroyed your sand castle. I was bored and I wanted to have fun. But it was not fun. It was mean. Can you forgive me?" Tim says. + +The other kids look at Tim. They see that he is sorry. They decide to give him a chance. + +"OK, Tim, we forgive you. But you have to promise not to destroy our things again. And you have to help us make a new sand castle." They say. + +"OK, I promise. And I will help you make a new sand castle. Thank you for forgiving me." Tim says. + +Tim and Jen join the other kids. They work together to make a new sand castle. They make it bigger and better than before. They use shells and sticks to decorate it. They make a flag and a moat. They are proud of their sand castle. They have fun. + +They find a big tree that gives shade. They sit under the tree and have a snack. They share their food and drinks. They talk and laugh. They are happy. + +They find out that they have a lot in common. They like the same games and colors and animals. They become friends. + +They see a swing set nearby. They want to play on the swings. They run to the swing set. They take turns to swing. They go high and low. They feel the wind on their faces. They are excited. + +They see a slide next to the swing set. They want to play on the slide. They climb to the top of the slide. They slide down. They go fast and slow. They feel the thrill on their bodies. They are joyful. + +They see a seesaw next to the slide. They want to play on the seesaw. They sit on opposite ends of the seesaw. They go up and down. They balance each other. They feel the rhythm on their legs. They are playful. + +They see a tunnel next to the seesaw. They want to play in the tunnel. They crawl through the tunnel. They go in and out. They hide and seek. They feel the mystery in the dark. They are curious. + +They see a merry-go-round next to the tunnel. They want to play on the merry-go-round. They hop on the merry-go-round. They spin around. They go fast and slow. They feel the dizziness in their heads. They are dizzy. + +They see a bench next to the merry-go-round. They want to rest on the bench. They walk to the bench. They sit on the bench. They are tired. They feel the peace in their hearts. They are calm. + +They look at each other. They smile. They hug. They are friends. + +They see a dress and a hat on the bench. They belong to Jen. Jen forgot to take them with her. She left them on the bench when she ran to the sand castle. She likes the dress and the hat. They are pink and pretty. They fit her well. + +Tim sees the dress and the hat. He has an idea. He wants to make Jen laugh. He puts on the dress and the hat. He looks funny. He does not fit them well. + +He stands up and walks to Jen. He pretends to be a lady. He talks in a high voice. He says: + +"Hello, Jen. I am Tim. I am a lady +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to buy some food. They saw a big shop with many things. They ran to the shop and looked around. + +"Look, Lily, there are cookies and cakes and candies!" Ben said. He took some cookies and put them in his pocket. "Let's take some and go. No one will see us." + +"No, Ben, that is bad. We have to pay for the food. We have to ask Mom or Dad for money." Lily said. She was scared. She did not want to do a bad thing. + +"Shh, Lily, be quiet. We can eat the cookies later. Come on, let's go." Ben said. He took Lily's hand and pulled her to the door. + +But they were not quiet enough. A man saw them. He was the shop owner. He was angry. He shouted at them. "Hey, you two, stop! You are stealing my food! Come back here!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They tried to run away. But the man was faster. He caught them and took them to his office. He called their Mom and Dad. He told them what Lily and Ben did. + +Mom and Dad came to the shop. They were very sad and angry. They said sorry to the shop owner. They paid for the food. They took Lily and Ben home.

They wished they had not done a bad thing. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had asked Mom or Dad for money. They learned a lesson. They never stole food again. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with ducks and fish. Sara says, "Let's swim in the pond. It looks fun." Tom says, "OK, but we need to be careful. The water is deep and cold." + +They take off their shoes and socks and roll up their pants. They hold hands and walk into the pond. The water feels wet and cold on their feet. They splash and laugh and chase the ducks. They see some fish swimming by. Sara says, "Look, Tom, fish! They are pretty and shiny." Tom says, "Yes, they are. Can we catch them?" Sara says, "No, we can't. They are too fast and smart. We can just watch them." + +They swim to the other side of the pond. They see a bush with red berries. Sara says, "Look, Tom, berries! They look yummy." Tom says, "Yes, they do. Can we eat them?" Sara says, "I don't know. Maybe they are not good for us. Maybe they are sour or bitter." Tom says, "Let's try one. Just one. Maybe they are sweet and juicy." + +They pick a berry each and put them in their mouths. They bite and chew. The berries are rough and hard. They are not sweet and juicy. They are sour and bitter. Sara and Tom spit them out. They make faces and say, "Yuck! These berries are bad. They taste awful." They throw the rest of the berries away. + +They swim back to the other side of the pond. They dry their feet and put on their shoes and socks. They say, "That was fun, but we don't like those berries. Next time, we will bring our own snacks." They hug and smile and go home. +Lila and Ben like to play with their jeep. It is a big toy jeep that they can sit in and drive. It has four wheels, a horn, and a radio. Lila and Ben like to pretend they are going on adventures in their jeep. + +One day, they decide to go to the park in their jeep. They put on their hats and sunglasses and buckle their seat belts. They turn on the radio and hear a song they like. They start to whistle along with the song. Whistling is fun and makes them happy. + +They drive along the sidewalk and see many things. They see dogs, birds, flowers, and people. They wave and say hello to everyone. They are friendly and polite. + +They get to the park and find a good spot to park their jeep.

He does not like big bikes. He says to Lily, "No, I don't want to ride the bike. It is too fast and too hard. Let's do something else." + +Lily is angry. She thinks Ben is a baby. She says to Ben, "You are a baby. You are afraid of everything. I don't want to play with you. I will ride the bike by myself." + +Lily gets on the bike. She tries to pedal. But the bike is too big for her. She loses her balance. She falls off the bike. She scrapes her knee. It hurts. She cries. + +Ben hears Lily cry. He runs to her. He sees her knee. It is red and bloody. He feels sorry for her. He says to Lily, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay? Do you want me to help you?" + +Lily stops crying. She looks at Ben. He is not a baby. He is a good friend. She says to Ben, "I'm sorry, too, Ben. I was mean to you. I don't need the bike. I need you. Can you tell me a story?" + +Ben smiles. He hugs Lily. He says to Lily, "Of course, I can tell you a story. A story about a brave girl and a kind boy who are friends. And they have many adventures in the park." + +Lily and Ben sit on the grass. Ben tells Lily a story. Lily listens. She forgets her knee. She forgets the bike. She is happy. The story is sweet. Not bitter. +Sara liked to crawl on the floor and touch different things. She liked the texture of the soft rug, the smooth tiles, and the bumpy carpet. She crawled from room to room, feeling and exploring. + +One day, she crawled into her brother's room. He was not there. She saw his bed, his toys, and his books. She crawled to his bed and climbed on it. She felt the texture of his blanket, his pillow, and his teddy bear. They were warm and cozy. + +She lay down on his bed and hugged his teddy bear. She felt peaceful and happy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of crawling and touching more things. + +Her brother came back from school. He saw Sara sleeping on his bed. He smiled and kissed her cheek. He did not mind that she was on his bed. He liked his sister. He crawled next to her and cuddled with his teddy bear. They slept together, peaceful and happy. +Timmy was going to his friend's birthday party. He wanted to look nice, so he asked his dad to help him put on a tie. His dad showed him how to make a knot and pull the ends. Timmy felt proud of his tie. + +At the party, Timmy saw many other kids. He recognized some of them from his preschool. He said hello and gave them hugs. He also saw some new kids. He wanted to make friends with them, too. + +He walked up to a girl with curly hair and a pink dress. He smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Timmy. I like your dress. Do you want to play with me?" + +The girl looked at him and frowned. She pointed at his tie and said, "What is that? It's ugly. You look like a clown. Go away!" + +Timmy felt sad and confused. He didn't understand why the girl was mean to him. He liked his tie. He thought it was pretty. He didn't want to look like a clown. He wanted to look nice. + +He ran to his dad and hugged him. He told him what the girl said. His dad hugged him back and said, "Don't worry, Timmy. Your tie is not ugly. It's very nice. You look handsome. The girl was rude. She doesn't know how to be nice. You don't need to play with her. You can play with other kids who are kind and friendly." + +Timmy nodded and wiped his tears. He thanked his dad and went to look for other kids to play with. He saw a boy with glasses and a blue shirt. He smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Timmy. I like your glasses. Do you want to play with me?" + +The boy smiled back and said, "Hi, I'm Danny. I like your tie. It's cool. Yes, I want to play with you. Do you like cars?" + +Timmy nodded and said, "Yes, I like cars. They are fast and fun. Do you have any cars?" + +Danny nodded and said, "Yes, I have some cars. Come, I'll show you. We can race them." + +Timmy and Danny became friends. They played with cars and had fun. They didn't care what the girl said. They liked each other and their ties. They were happy. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to walk with Mom and Dad in the park. They see many things: trees, birds, flowers, dogs. They are happy. + +But one day, Tim sees a big red ball on the ground. He wants to play with it. He runs to the ball and picks it up. He does not look where he is going. + +"Tim, wait!" Jen calls. "That is not your ball. It belongs to someone else. You have to ask first." + +But Tim does not listen. He throws the ball in the air and catches it. He laughs. + +A boy comes to Tim. He is angry. He says, "Hey, that is my ball. Give it back to me. You are not nice." + +Tim does not want to give the ball back. He says, "No, it is my ball. I found it. You go away." + +The boy tries to grab the ball from Tim. They start to fight. They push and pull and shout. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise. They come to Tim and the boy. They are not happy. They say, "Stop fighting. Fighting is bad. You have to share and be kind." + +They take the ball from Tim and give it to the boy. They say, "Tim, you have to say sorry to the boy. You have to ask before you take something that is not yours." + +Tim feels sad. He knows he did wrong. He says, "Sorry, boy. I was not nice. Can I play with your ball?" + +The boy is patient. He says, "It is okay. You can play with my ball. But you have to share and take turns." + +Tim nods. He says, "Thank you, boy. I will share and take turns." + +Jen comes to Tim and the boy. She says, "Can I play too?" + +The boy says, "Yes, you can play too. You are nice." + +They all play with the ball. They have fun. They are friends. Mom and Dad smile. They are proud. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But today, it is raining outside. The sky is dark and the wind is loud. Ben and Mia feel scared. + +They want to drink some juice. They go to the kitchen and look for the juice. But they cannot find it. They see a big bottle on the top shelf. They think it is juice. They want to get it. + +Ben and Mia get a chair and put it near the shelf. Ben climbs on the chair and reaches for the bottle. Mia holds the chair. But the chair is wobbly. Ben loses his balance and falls. The bottle falls too. It breaks on the floor. The liquid inside is not juice. It is vinegar. It smells bad and makes their eyes water. + +Ben and Mia yell. They are hurt and scared. They want their mom and dad. They hear their mom and dad run to the kitchen. They see the mess and the twins. They hug them and comfort them. They clean the floor and the bottle. They get some juice and cookies for Ben and Mia. They tell them not to climb on the chair and not to touch the bottle. They say they love them and they are sorry for the dark and the rain. Ben and Mia feel better. They drink their juice and eat their cookies. They say they love their mom and dad too. They go back to the living room and play with their toys. They are not scared anymore. +Tim and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to look for bugs and rocks and leaves. They saw a big pile of sticks and ran to it. Maybe there were some good things to find there. + +They moved the sticks and saw something shiny. It was a coin! Tim picked it up and showed it to Sam. "Look, we found money!" he said. Sam was happy too. They wondered if there were more coins under the sticks. + +They moved more sticks and saw something else. It was a bird. But the bird was not moving. It was lying on the ground with its eyes closed. It had a twig in its mouth. Tim and Sam felt sad. The bird was not alive. It was dead. + +"Maybe the bird was poor and hungry," Tim said. "Maybe it tried to eat the twig and choked." Sam nodded. He felt sorry for the bird. He wished they could help it. He put the coin next to the bird. "Maybe this will make it feel better," he said. + +Tim and Sam covered the bird with some leaves. They said goodbye to the bird and left the pile of sticks. They did not want to play there anymore. They wanted to find a happier place. They held hands and walked away. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. But their favorite animal was the hippo. The hippo was big and gray, and had a huge mouth. He liked to swim in the water and splash with his friends. + +"Can we paint the hippo, mom?" Ben asked. He had a box of paints and a paper in his backpack. + +"Sure, honey. Let's find a good spot to sit and watch him," mom said. She helped them set up their paints and papers on a bench near the hippo pool. + +Ben and Lily started to paint the hippo. They used blue for the water, green for the grass, and gray for the hippo. They also added some birds and flowers to make it pretty. + +"Look, mom, I painted the hippo!" Lily said, holding up her paper. + +"That's very nice, Lily. I like how you made him smile," mom said. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben said, showing his paper. "I painted the hippo and his friends. See, they are playing together." + +"Wow, Ben, you did a great job. I like how you used different colors for the hippos," mom said. + +They were having fun painting the hippo, when suddenly they heard a loud roar. It was the lion, who lived in a cage next to the hippo pool. He was angry and hungry, and he wanted to scare the other animals. + +"ROAR!" the lion roared, shaking his mane and showing his teeth. + +The hippo and his friends were scared. They ran to the other side of the pool, away from the lion. They hid behind some rocks and plants, and did not come out. + +Ben and Lily were scared too. They dropped their paints and papers, and hugged their mom. + +"Mom, what's that? What's he doing?" Lily asked, pointing at the lion. + +"That's the lion, Lily. He's the king of the animals, but he's not very nice. He likes to roar and make noise, but he can't hurt us. We are safe here," mom said, trying to calm them down. + +"Can we go away, mom? I don't like the lion. He's mean and scary," Ben said, trembling. + +"OK, OK, we can go. Let's pack up our things and say goodbye to the hippo," mom said. She helped them gather their paints and papers, and put them in the backpack. + +"Bye, hippo. Sorry you are scared. We like you. You are nice and friendly," Ben and Lily said, waving at the hippo pool. + +The hippo and his friends heard them, and peeked out from behind the rocks and plants. They smiled and waved back, happy that Ben and Lily were their friends. + +"Bye, Ben. Bye, Lily. Thank you for painting us. You are nice and friendly too," the hippo said, in a low and gentle voice. + +The end. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bell on a tower. The bell was shiny and made a loud sound every hour. + +"Let's go and see the bell!" Sara said. "Maybe we can touch it and make it ring." + +"OK, but be careful. The bell is delicate. It can break if we are rough." Ben said. + +They climbed up the stairs to the tower. They reached the bell and saw how big and beautiful it was. Sara wanted to touch it, but Ben stopped her. + +"Don't touch it, Sara. It is not a toy. It is for telling time." Ben said. + +"But I want to hear it ring. It sounds so nice." Sara said. She was angry and did not listen to Ben. She kicked the bell with her foot. + +The bell made a loud and ugly noise. It cracked and fell from the tower. It smashed on the ground and broke into pieces. + +Sara and Ben were scared. They heard people shouting and running to see what happened. They knew they were in trouble. + +They ran down the stairs and tried to hide. But it was too late. A man saw them and caught them. He was very angry and called their parents. + +Sara and Ben were sorry for what they did. But they could not fix the bell. They had to pay a lot of money and do a lot of chores. They could not play in the park for a long time. They learned to be careful and respectful with delicate things. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play at the park with their mom. One day, they saw a big truck with many candies on it. The truck stopped near the park and a man got out. + +"Who wants some candy?" the man shouted. "They are free and yummy!" + +Lily and Ben ran to the truck. They wanted some candy. Their mom followed them. She wanted to see the man. + +"Hello, sir," their mom said. "Why are you giving away candy?" + +The man smiled. "It's a special day," he said. "I have too much candy and I want to share it with the kids. Here, take some." + +He gave Lily and Ben each a big bag of candy. They were very happy. They thanked the man and ran back to the park. + +Their mom looked at the candy. She saw a label on the bag. It said: "Warning: This candy is dead. Do not eat." + +She was shocked. She dropped the bag and ran after Lily and Ben. + +"Stop!" she yelled. "Don't eat the candy! It's bad for you! It's dead!" + +Lily and Ben heard their mom. They stopped and looked at their candy. They saw worms and flies on it. They felt sick. They threw the candy away. + +They ran to their mom and hugged her. They were scared and sad. + +"Mom, what is dead?" Lily asked. + +"Dead means not alive," their mom said. "Like the flowers that wilt or the birds that fall from the sky. Dead things can make you sick or hurt you. You should never eat dead things." + +"OK, mom," Ben said. "We're sorry. We didn't know." + +Their mom kissed them. "It's OK, my loves," she said. "You didn't do anything wrong. The man was bad. He lied to you. He wanted to hurt you. But I'm here to protect you. I love you." + +They hugged their mom again. They felt better. They decided to play at the park some more. But they never took candy from strangers again. +Tom was a little mouse who liked to wander. He wanted to see new things and find new friends. One day, he wandered too far from his home. He saw a big pond with many ducks and frogs. He thought they looked fun and wanted to say hello. + +"Hello, ducks and frogs," he said. "Can I play with you?" + +The ducks and frogs looked at him and laughed. They said he was too small and wet to play with them. They said he should go back to his hole and leave them alone. Tom felt sad and scared. He did not like being wet and laughed at. + +He turned around and tried to find his way back. But he was lost. He did not know which way to go. He wandered and wandered, but he only saw more water and more ducks and frogs. He wished he had stayed at home with his family. + +Then he heard a friendly voice. It was a big turtle who lived in the pond. He saw Tom and asked him what was wrong. + +"I am lost," Tom said. "I wandered too far and now I can't find my home. The ducks and frogs are mean to me. They say I am too small and wet to play with them." + +The turtle felt sorry for Tom. He said he would help him find his home. He said he liked small and wet mice. He said they could be friends. + +"Really?" Tom said. "You want to be my friend?" + +"Of course," the turtle said. "Come on, hop on my shell. I will take you to your home. And then we can play together." + +Tom was happy. He hopped on the turtle's shell and thanked him. The turtle smiled and swam across the pond. He took Tom to his home and said goodbye. Tom ran to his family and hugged them. He told them about his adventure and his new friend. He said he learned a lesson. He said he would not wander too far again. He said he would always be careful and kind. He said he was glad to be home. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her dog, Max. Max was a big dog with brown fur and a wagging tail. He liked to run, jump and fetch balls with Lily. + +One day, Lily and Max went to the park with Lily's mom. They saw many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, squirrels and other dogs. Lily and Max had fun chasing the squirrels and playing with the other dogs. + +"Max, you are amazing!" Lily said. "You are so fast and strong and smart!" + +Max barked happily and licked Lily's face. He was glad that Lily was his friend. + +After a while, Lily and Max got hungry. Lily's mom gave them some snacks. Lily had a sandwich and a juice box. Max had a bone and a bowl of water. + +"Here you go, Max. This is for you. You can eat it with your paw," Lily said. She put the bone on the ground and showed Max how to hold it with his paw. + +Max looked at the bone and then at Lily. He tilted his head and wagged his tail. He did not understand why Lily wanted him to eat with his paw. He usually ate with his mouth. + +"Like this, Max. See?" Lily said. She picked up the bone with her hand and pretended to bite it. + +Max watched Lily and then tried to do the same. He lifted his paw and grabbed the bone. He tried to bite it, but it was hard and slippery. He dropped the bone and looked at Lily. + +Lily laughed and hugged Max. "It's okay, Max. You don't have to eat with your paw. You can eat with your mouth. I was just joking. You are a good dog." + +Max barked and licked Lily's face again. He was happy that Lily was his friend. He picked up the bone with his mouth and ate it. It was delicious. + +Lily and Max finished their snacks and thanked Lily's mom. They were full and tired. They decided to rest under a tree and cuddle. They closed their eyes and dreamed of more adventures. They were amazing. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sign that said "Picnic Area". They ran to the sign and saw a grill, some tables and chairs, and a lot of food. + +"Wow, look at all the yummy food!" Tom said. "Can we have some?" + +"I don't know," Mia said. "Maybe we should ask first." + +But Tom was too hungry and curious. He grabbed a hot dog from the grill and took a big bite. "Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "It's too hot!" + +Mia ran to him and tried to help. "Are you okay, Tom?" she asked. "You should be careful. The grill is very hot. And you shouldn't take food that is not yours." + +Just then, a man came to the grill. He looked angry and different. He had a big hat, a long beard, and a loud voice. "Hey, you kids! What are you doing here? This is my food! You can't just take it without asking!" + +Tom and Mia were scared. They dropped the hot dog and ran away. They apologized to the man and said they were sorry. They ran back to their parents, who were waiting for them at the playground. + +"Where have you been?" their parents asked. "We were worried about you." + +Tom and Mia told them what happened. They said they were sorry for being naughty and greedy. They learned their lesson. They should always respect other people's things and ask before taking. And they should never touch a grill, because it is very hot and dangerous. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big, soft bear in the toy box. Lily wants to hug the bear. She says, "Can I have the bear, please?" + +Ben says, "No, I want the bear. It is mine." He holds the bear tight. He squeezes the bear hard. + +Lily feels sad. She says, "Please share the bear. It is nice to share." She tries to pull the bear from Ben. Ben pulls back. He squeezes the bear harder. + +The bear makes a sound. It says, "Ouch! You are hurting me. Stop squeezing me. Let me go." Lily and Ben are surprised. They look at the bear's face. The bear looks sad and scared. + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, bear. We did not mean to hurt you. We will share you. You can hug us both." They let go of the bear. They hug the bear gently. The bear smiles. It says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are nice friends. I like to hug you both." Lily and Ben smile too. They are happy. They play with the bear and each other. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to ride their bikes and wear their helmets. They saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. + +"Me first!" Lily said. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. + +"No, me first!" Ben said. He ran after her and tried to pull her down. + +"Stop it, Ben!" Lily said. She pinched his arm hard. + +"Ow, Lily! That hurts!" Ben said. He let go of her and rubbed his arm. + +A man who worked at the park saw them and came over. He was not happy. + +"What are you doing, kids?" he asked. "You should not pinch or pull each other. That is not nice. You should share and take turns." + +"Sorry, mister," Lily and Ben said. They felt bad for being mean. + +"Good. Now, go on the slide one at a time. And be quiet. There are other kids here who want to play too," the man said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They waited for their turn and slid down the slide. They had fun and did not fight anymore. They learned to be nice and quiet. +Anna and Ben were playing a game. They had to guess what was in the box. Anna went first. She put her hand in the box and felt something soft and sticky. + +"Is it jelly?" she asked. + +"Yes, you are right!" Ben said. "You win!" + +Anna smiled and took out the jelly. It was red and wiggled in her hand. She liked jelly. She wanted to eat it. + +"Can I have some?" Ben asked. + +Anna looked at Ben. He was her friend. He was thoughtful. He always shared his toys with her. She decided to share her jelly with him. + +"Of course, you can have some," she said. "Here, take half." + +She broke the jelly in two and gave one piece to Ben. They both ate the jelly and enjoyed it. + +"That was fun," Ben said. "Do you want to play again?" + +"Sure," Anna said. "But this time, you go first." + +They put the jelly back in the box and closed it. They were ready to play again. They were happy. +Sara and Ben were at the ranch with their mom and dad. They liked to see the horses and cows, but they did not like to do chores. They thought chores were boring. They had to help mom mix the food for the chickens and the pigs. They had to stir and stir and stir with big spoons. + +"Can we go play now?" Sara asked mom. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to finish mixing the food. It's important to feed the animals well," mom said. + +"But it's so boring!" Ben complained. "I want to ride a horse or play with the dog." + +"Maybe later, honey. But right now, we have to work. It's part of living on a ranch," dad said. + +Sara and Ben sighed. They kept stirring the food, but they did not have fun. They wished they could do something else. They looked at each other and had an idea. They smiled and whispered. + +"Hey, mom and dad, look over there!" Sara said, pointing to the barn. + +"What is it?" mom and dad asked, turning their heads. + +Sara and Ben quickly grabbed some of the food and threw it at each other. They laughed and ran away. They had a food fight! + +"Hey, stop that!" mom and dad shouted. "That's not for playing, that's for feeding!" + +But Sara and Ben did not listen. They kept throwing food and dodging. They had a lot of fun. They did not think chores were boring anymore. They thought they were fun. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. They loved to explore nature and look for bugs and birds. + +One day, they decided to have a race around the yard. They ran as fast as they could, but Tom was a little faster than Lily. He reached the finish line first and shouted, "I win, I win!" + +Lily was not happy. She wanted to win too. She said, "No fair, you cheated! You started before me!" + +Tom said, "No, I did not cheat. You are just slow. I am the best runner!" + +They started to argue and push each other. They were both angry and rude. + +Mom heard them and came outside. She saw them fighting and said, "Stop it, both of you! Why are you being so mean to each other? You are twins, you should love and help each other, not hurt and insult each other." + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed. They knew Mom was right. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Tom." + +Mom said, "It's okay, I forgive you. But you need to learn to share and be kind. Racing is fun, but it's not everything. There are many other things you can do together and enjoy nature." + +She hugged them and said, "Why don't you go and pick some flowers for me? I will make a vase for them and put them on the table. They will make our house look pretty and smell nice." + +Tom and Lily liked that idea. They said, "Okay, Mom. We will do that." + +They held hands and walked to the flower bed. They forgot about their race and their fight. They looked for the most beautiful and colorful flowers they could find. They were happy and peaceful. + +They picked a lot of flowers and brought them to Mom. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are such good and sweet children. I love you very much." + +They said, "We love you too, Mom." + +They helped Mom make the vase and put the flowers on the table. They admired their work and felt proud. They were tired from running and playing, but they were also happy and grateful. They hugged Mom and each other and said, "We are sorry for fighting. We are the best twins." + +Mom said, "Yes, you are. And I am the luckiest mom." +Lily and Ben liked to play pretend. They had a big box that they made into a theater. They cut a hole in the front and put a curtain on it. They used toys and clothes to make stories and act them out. + +One day, they wanted to do a story about a rich king and a poor girl. Lily said she would be the girl and Ben would be the king. Ben put on a shiny hat and a cape. Lily wore a ragged dress and a scarf. They started their story. + +"Hello, poor girl," Ben said. "I am the rich king. I have a lot of gold and jewels. Do you want some?" + +"No, thank you, rich king," Lily said. "I do not need gold and jewels. I have something better. I have a friend." + +"A friend?" Ben said. "Who is your friend?" + +Lily pointed to the theater. "My friend is in there. He is a dragon. He is big and strong and kind. He protects me and makes me happy." + +Ben did not like that. He wanted Lily to like him more than the dragon. He got angry and jealous. He said, "I do not believe you. There is no dragon in there. You are lying. I will show you." + +He ran to the theater and pulled the curtain. He saw a big stuffed animal that looked like a dragon. He grabbed it and tried to take it away. Lily ran after him and tried to stop him. They both pulled the dragon hard. They pulled and pulled until the dragon split in two. They both fell down and cried. + +They looked at the dragon. It was broken. They felt sorry and sad. They did not want to fight. They wanted to be friends. They hugged each other and said sorry. They said they would share the dragon and fix it. They said they would play nice and have fun. They smiled and went back to the theater. They made a new story about a king, a girl, and a dragon who were all friends. They were happy. The end. +Lily liked to feed the birds in the park. She had a bag of bread and seeds that she shared with them every day. She liked to hear them sing and see them fly. + +One day, she saw a musician in the park. He had a big guitar and a hat. He played songs and sang with a loud voice. Lily was enthusiastic. She wanted to hear more of his music. She walked closer to him and smiled. + +The musician saw Lily and smiled back. He asked her, "Do you like my music, little girl?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I do. You are very good. Can I give you some bread and seeds?" + +The musician said, "Sure, why not? Thank you for your kindness. You can put them in my hat." + +Lily was happy. She took some bread and seeds from her bag and threw them in his hat. She hoped he would like them. + +But the musician did not like them. He was angry. He said, "What are you doing, little girl? This is not food for me. This is food for birds. You ruined my hat and my money. Go away from here. You are a bad girl." + +Lily was sad and scared. She did not understand why he was so mean. She ran away from him and cried. She did not want to feed the birds anymore. She did not want to hear his music anymore. She had a bad day. +Tom likes to design things. He has many toys and tools to make his ideas. He has blocks, paper, scissors, glue, tape, and crayons. He also has a laser. It is a small light that can make a red dot on the wall. Tom thinks it is fun to play with the laser. + +One day, Tom decides to design a spaceship. He uses a big box, some paper, and some tape. He cuts out a window and a door. He draws some buttons and stars on the paper. He tapes the paper to the box. He puts the laser inside the box. He says, "This is my spaceship. I can go to the moon and see the aliens." + +Tom asks his sister, Lily, to play with him. Lily is older than Tom. She is five. She likes to read books and draw pictures. She says, "What is that?" She points to the box. + +Tom says, "This is my spaceship. Do you want to come with me?" + +Lily says, "No, thank you. That is not a spaceship. That is a box. And that is not a laser. That is a light. You are silly, Tom." + +Tom says, "No, I am not silly. You are boring, Lily. You do not have any imagination. I can make anything I want with my toys and tools. I can design anything I want with my laser." + +Tom goes inside the box. He turns on the laser. He pretends to fly to the moon. He sees a white rabbit. He says, "Hello, rabbit. Do you want to be my friend?" The rabbit says, "Yes, Tom. I like your spaceship. And I like your laser. You are very smart and creative. Let's play together." Tom is happy. He likes his new friend. He thinks, "Lily does not know what she is missing." +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very proud of their snowman. + +But then they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog looked hungry and angry. He barked and jumped at the snowman. He bit the carrot nose and tore the scarf. He knocked off the hat and the buttons. Ben and Lily were scared and sad. They ran inside the house. + +They told their mom what happened. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. That was a bad dog. He should not have ruined your snowman. But don't worry, we can make another one tomorrow. How about we have some hot cocoa to warm up?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They liked cocoa. It was sweet and yummy. Mom made them some cocoa with marshmallows. She gave them each a mug and a cookie. They sat on the couch and drank their cocoa.

They had not thought about how the boy would feel. + +They quickly put the toys back in the box and apologized to the boy. + +"We are so sorry," Lila said. "We didn't know these were your toys. We thought they were for everyone to share. We didn't mean to hurt you or your mom." + +"We are very sorry," Tom said. "We should have asked you first. We should have respected your things. We were wrong to take them and play with them." + +The boy looked at them and saw that they were sincere. He wiped his tears and smiled a little. + +"It's okay," he said. "I forgive you.

Why don't we take a bus instead of the taxi?". + +Jack smiled and hopped off the steps. Together, they walked to the bus stop, and soon a big yellow bus arrived. They rode for a while and eventually the bus came to their stop. + +Jack and his mother stepped off the bus and began walking home.

He was so happy he shouted out loud and waved to the bird. But the bird flew away. + +The little boy was so sad that he didn't get to meet the red bird.

That way, you can fly higher and further than you ever dreamed was possible." + +Jack thanked Bill and flew away, feeling happy and much less jealous. He now understood that it was a lot better to focus on taking care of himself and being brave than to be jealous of other birds. + +The moral of the story is that it's better to take care of yourself and have enough fuel than to be jealous of others. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Jeff.

She was so excited to go outside and have some fun, but she was even more surprised when she saw lots of her friends were also there. + +Turns out her mom had invited them all over without telling Lily. She had planned a big surprise party for her! Lily was so happy and she thanked her mom for being so thoughtful. From then on, Lily never complained about being able to go outside ever again. +Once upon a time, a little girl was walking through the park when she found a trampoline.

It was a big bag of mints. The little girl was so excited and quickly called out "Good puppy! You found some mints!". She gave him a few to eat and then held the rest in her pocket.

When the wealthy girl saw Sophie's shirt, she started to laugh and said, "You must be so embarrassed wearing something like that!" + +Sophie was confused. She looked down at her shirt and was suddenly ashamed. But then she reminded herself that everyone has different kinds of clothes and surely no one should be made to feel bad about what they wear. + +She replied to the wealthy girl, "My shirt may be old and simple, but I love it because it makes me feel special. I'm not embarrassed about my shirt and I think it's much better for everyone to accept the way we all dress differently." + +The wealthy girl smiled and thanked Sophie for the words. From that day on, she always chose to be kind and mindful of how she made others feel. + +The moral of this story is that we should never judge someone based on their clothing or style as it is a reflection of their personality.

Let me help you cover the peanuts." + +The yellow bird said, "No thank you. Peanuts are too small for two birds to cover. It's better if I do it alone." + +The black bird was sad, but he listened to the yellow bird and watched as the yellow bird covered all the peanuts by himself. + +At the end of the day, the yellow bird saw that all the peanuts were safe under his feathers.

Let's keep exploring." + +So Lizzie and her mother continued their journey, with Lizzie feeling safe and happy in her mother's company. +Once upon a time, there was a wee frog called Jackie. Every day she hopped around the pond looking for food, but there seemed to be never enough. One day, Jackie came across an old oak tree that had a little hole in it. Inside the hole was a boundless supply of food! Jackie hopped inside and started to eat. + +The tree was very fragile, so Jackie was careful not to touch anything. Suddenly, she heard a loud voice from outside the tree. It was the voice of her friend, Bill the owl. Bill said "Don't forget to give some oxygen, Jackie!
