The dishwasher had split in half! The two of them had done it - they had managed to split such a huge dishwasher into two pieces. + +The little people were very excited and quickly moved both parts of the dishwasher out of the way. Now they had no trouble getting in the kitchen. Everyone was so proud of their hard work - what a great job they had done! +Once upon a time, there was a girl called Lola.

The man asked the boy why he was running on the road when it was not allowed. + +The naughty boy talked back to him and said he was just having fun.

They stopped and sat down. + +"This is a special road," said Sarah. + +"Yes," agreed Mary, "But it's time to go home now." + +So, the girls got up and began to march down the road, back home. As they walked, they sang the same happy song they had sung before.

Suddenly, he lost his balance and he fell to the ground. + +The boy was so scared that he started to cry. From a nearby house, an old man called out to him. He said, "It's ok, young man, don't be scared.

You can still fly high and make beautiful songs, just like me!" + +The crow was encouraged and flapped its wings, giving him the courage to make a big jump.

We did not mean to take your car," Sam said. + +"We just wanted to play. We did not know it would move," Mia said. + +Grandpa smiled and said, "It's okay. I know you were curious. But you should never play with a real car. It is dangerous. You could get hurt or hurt someone else. A real car is not a toy. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Mia nodded and said, "We understand, grandpa. We are sorry. We love you." + +Grandpa said, "I love you too, kids. Now let's go back to the garage and park the car. Then we can play with your toy cars. They are much safer and more fun." + +Sam and Mia agreed and followed grandpa. They were happy to see the sunshine and their toy cars.

They ran to the truck and waved at the driver. The driver smiled and waved back. He said he was a firefighter and he was here to check the water fountain. + +Tom and Sam were very excited. They asked the driver if they could see the ladder. The driver said yes, but they had to be careful. He helped them climb up the ladder and showed them the hose and the helmet. They felt like real firefighters. + +They thanked the driver and climbed down the ladder. They were about to run back to their spot when they realized something. They had left their lovely cap on the truck. They looked up and saw the cap on the driver's seat. They shouted and waved at the driver, but he did not hear them. He started the engine and drove away. + +Tom and Sam were very sad. They had lost their lovely cap. They did not know what to do. They sat on the bench and cried.

They had a magnifying glass, a notebook and a pencil. + +"Look, Anna, what is this?" Tom said, pointing to a round thing on the table. It was an ashtray, but they did not know that. + +"I don't know, Tom. Let's examine it," Anna said, picking up the magnifying glass. She looked at the ashtray closely. It had some gray stuff and some red stuff inside. + +"Maybe it's a treasure," Tom said, writing in his notebook. "Or maybe it's a trap." + +"Or maybe it's a cake," Anna said, laughing. She touched the gray stuff with her finger. It was soft and dusty. She rubbed it on her nose. "Ew, it smells bad." + +"Anna, don't do that. It's dirty," Tom said, wiping her nose with a tissue. "And don't eat it. It's not a cake." + +"Then what is it, Tom?" Anna asked, curious. + +"I don't know, Anna. But I think it's something that grown-ups use. Maybe we should ask Mommy," Tom said, putting the ashtray back on the table. + +"Okay, Tom. Let's go find Mommy," Anna said, holding his hand. They left the living room and went to look for their mother. + +They did not see the dark figure in the corner, watching them with a cigarette in his mouth. He was the real detective, and he was not happy that they had touched his evidence. He had to find a new hiding place for his ashtray. +Tom and his mom went to the park. Tom liked to play on the swings and the slide. He saw a man sitting on a bench. The man had a big book in his hands. Tom was curious.

He said, "Books are boring. They have no pictures and no sounds. I like to play and have fun. Do you want to play with me?" + +The man replied, "No, thank you. I like to read and learn. Books are not boring. They have many words and ideas. I can imagine and think. Reading is fun for me." + +Tom did not understand. He said, "But how can you have fun with words and ideas? They are not real. They are not like swings and slides. They are not like toys and games. They are not like friends and family. They are not fun at all." + +The man replied, "Words and ideas are real. They are like tools and keys. They can help you do things and open doors. They can make you smarter and happier. They can be fun if you try them." + +Tom was not convinced. He said, "Maybe when I am older, I will try them. But now, I want to play. Goodbye, man." He ran back to his mom and the swings. He forgot about the man and his book. He had fun in his own way. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a lot of ants on the ground. The ants were carrying food to their home. + +"Look, the ants are working hard," Tom said. + +"Yes, they are. They are sharing their food with their friends," Lily said. + +Tom and Lily wanted to help the ants. They found some bread and cheese in the kitchen. They broke them into small pieces and put them near the ants. + +"Here, ants. This is for you. You can have some of our food," Tom and Lily said. + +The ants were happy. They smelled the food and came closer. They took the pieces and thanked Tom and Lily. + +"Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are very generous. You are our friends," the ants said. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They felt good. They watched the ants work and share. They learned a lesson from the ants. +Sam and Tom were brothers. They liked to play near the river. One day, they saw a kayak on the water. It was red and shiny. They wanted to try it. + +"Let's follow the kayak and see where it goes," Sam said. He was older and braver than Tom. + +"But we don't have a boat," Tom said. He was younger and scared of the river. + +"We can swim," Sam said. He was ignorant and did not know how fast and deep the river was. + +They jumped into the water and started to follow the kayak. They swam and swam, but the kayak was too far. The river was too strong and cold. They got tired and hungry. They cried for help, but no one heard them. + +The kayak belonged to a man who was fishing. He did not see the boys. He did not know they were following him.

They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and birds. But their favorite was the monkey house. They liked to watch the monkeys swing, jump, and play. + +One monkey was gray and had a long tail. He seemed very smart and funny. He made faces at Lila and Ben and threw bananas at them. Lila and Ben laughed and threw bananas back. They wanted to be friends with the gray monkey. + +"Hello, monkey!" Lila said. "What is your name?" + +The gray monkey looked at Lila and made a sound. It sounded like "Ook-ook". + +"Ook-ook?

"But we will come back to see you again, OK?" + +The gray monkey nodded and waved. He seemed to be happy. + +Lila and Ben waved back and said goodbye to Ook-ook. They left the monkey house and went to see more animals. But they never forgot their new friend, the gray monkey. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to skip on the grass, swing on the swings, and slide on the slide. They had a lot of fun together. + +One day, a big boy came to the park. He was mean and rude. He said to Lily and Sam, "This is my park. You have to go away or I will hurt you." He showed them his fist and his teeth. He was a threat. + +Lily and Sam were scared. They did not want to fight. They wanted to play. They said to the big boy, "Please, let us play. We will share with you. You can swing and slide too." + +The big boy laughed. He said, "No, I don't want to share. I want to have it all. And I don't like you. You are too small and weak. You are fake friends. Go away or I will make you cry." + +Lily and Sam did not know what to do. They tried to run away, but the big boy was faster. He caught them and pushed them to the ground. He kicked them and hit them. He made them cry. He was a bully. + +Lily and Sam were hurt and sad. They wished they had a real friend to help them. They wished the big boy would go away. They wished they could play in the park again. But they could not. The big boy had ruined their day.

One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was empty and had a lot of space inside. + +"Let's plan a fun game with this box," Ben said. "We can pretend it is a rocket and fly to the moon." + +"That sounds great," Lily said. "But we need a figure to be our pilot. Who can we use?" + +They looked around and saw a teddy bear on a shelf. It was brown and fuzzy and had a red scarf. Ben climbed on a chair and reached for the teddy bear. + +"Here, this is our figure," he said. "He looks brave and smart. What is his name?" + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "His name is Buzz. He is an astronaut and he knows how to fly the rocket." + +Ben and Lily put Buzz in the box and made some buttons and dials with paper and crayons. They also cut out a window and a door. They were ready to start their adventure. + +"Three, two, one, blast off!" Ben shouted. He and Lily pushed the box and made whooshing noises. They pretended the box was flying through the sky and the stars. + +"Look, there is the moon!" Lily said. She pointed to a big ball hanging from the ceiling. It was white and shiny and had craters. It was enormous. + +"Wow, it is so big and beautiful," Ben said. "Let's land the rocket and explore the moon." + +They stopped the box and opened the door. They took Buzz with them and stepped out. They pretended the floor was the moon and they bounced and hopped. + +"We are the first people to visit the moon," Lily said. "We are so lucky and brave." + +"Yes, we are," Ben said. "And we have Buzz to help us. He is the best figure ever." + +They smiled and hugged Buzz. They had a lot of fun playing with the box and the teddy bear. They had a great plan and a great game. +Anna and Ben love to ride their bikes. They have red bikes with big wheels and bells. They like to go fast and race each other. They are competitive. + +One day, they ride to the park. They see a big hill. They want to go up and down the hill. They think it will be fun and exciting. They pedal hard and go up the hill. They feel strong and happy. + +When they reach the top of the hill, they see a big storm. They hear thunder and see lightning. They are scared and surprised. They want to go home. They turn their bikes and go down the hill. They go very fast and feel the wind. + +They see the lightning flash in the sky. It is bright and loud. They think the lightning is chasing them. They pedal faster and faster. They want to outrun the lightning. They are competitive. + +They reach the bottom of the hill and see their house. They are relieved and proud. They think they beat the lightning. They ring their bells and shout. They park their bikes and run inside. They hug their mom and dad. They tell them about their ride and the lightning. They are brave and happy. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a fork in the kitchen. It is shiny and has four points. + +"Look, Sam, a fork!" Tim says. "We can use it for our game." + +"What game, Tim?" Sam asks. + +"We can pretend it is a sword. We can fight the bad guys with it." Tim says. He holds the fork like a sword and makes a sound. "Zing, zing!" + +Sam thinks that is a fun game. He wants to play too. He looks for another fork, but he cannot find one. He sees a spoon. It is round and smooth. + +"Can I use the spoon, Tim?" Sam asks. + +"No, Sam, you cannot. A spoon is not a sword. It is too soft. You need a fork. A fork is rough and sharp. It is better for fighting." Tim says. He does not want to share his fork. + +Sam feels sad. He wants to play with Tim, but he does not have a fork. He thinks Tim is not nice. He starts to cry. + +"What is wrong, Sam?" Mom asks. She hears Sam crying. She comes to the kitchen. + +"Tim has a fork and I don't. He says I cannot play with him. He says a spoon is not a sword." Sam says. He shows Mom the spoon. + +Mom looks at Tim and the fork. She is not happy. She takes the fork from Tim. + +"Tim, that is not a toy. That is a fork. You cannot play with it. You can hurt yourself or Sam. You have to share with your brother. You can use something else for your game. How about these?" Mom says. She gives Tim and Sam two wooden spoons. They are big and brown. + +Tim and Sam look at the wooden spoons. They are not shiny or sharp, but they are long and strong. They think they can be good swords too. + +"Thank you, Mom. These are nice." Tim says. + +"Yes, thank you, Mom. Can we play now, Tim?" Sam says. + +"OK, Sam. We can play. You can be my friend. We can fight the bad guys together." Tim says. + +Tim and Sam smile. They hold the wooden spoons like swords. They make sounds. "Zing, zing!" + +Mom smiles too. She is glad they are happy. She watches them play. She thinks they are cute. She loves them. +Lily and Tom liked to play with their bikes. They rode around the park and looked at the trees and flowers. One day, they saw a big sign with many colors and words. It was a billboard. Lily and Tom did not know what it said, but they liked the picture of a smiling dog. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"It is a billboard. It tells people something," Tom said. + +"Maybe it tells people to be nice to dogs," Lily said. + +"Maybe. Or maybe it tells people to buy dog food," Tom said. + +They wanted to know more, but the words were too hard. They wished they could read the billboard. + +They decided to improve their reading. They asked their mom and dad to help them. They practiced with books and cards and games. They learned many new words. They were happy and proud. + +One day, they went back to the park with their bikes. They saw the billboard again. They looked at the words and tried to read them. They sounded out the letters and put them together. + +"Help...shelter...dogs...find...homes. Be...generous...and...donate...today," Lily read. + +"Wow, you did it!" Tom said. + +"I did it! You did it too!" Lily said. + +They understood the billboard. It was about helping dogs who had no home. They felt sorry for the dogs. They wanted to help them. + +They rode to their mom and dad and told them about the billboard. They asked if they could donate some money or toys or food for the dogs. Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them. + +"That is very generous of you. We are proud of you. You improved your reading and your kindness. Let's go and see what we can do for the dogs," their mom said. + +Lily and Tom were happy. They rode with their mom and dad to the shelter. They gave their donation and met some of the dogs. They petted them and played with them. They saw the smiling dog from the billboard. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. + +They felt good. They learned something new and did something good. They improved their reading and their world. +Lily liked to play with her cat, Snowy. Snowy was white and soft and liked to cuddle with Lily. Lily and Snowy had a lot of fun together, but sometimes Lily played too rough with Snowy. Snowy was fragile and did not like to be pulled or squeezed. + +One day, Lily and Snowy were in the garden. Lily saw a butterfly and wanted to catch it. She ran after the butterfly, holding Snowy in her arms. Snowy was scared and tried to get away, but Lily held him tight. Snowy scratched Lily's face and bit her hand. Lily cried and dropped Snowy on the ground. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Bad cat, bad cat!" Lily shouted. She ran to her mom, who was sitting on a bench. Mom saw Lily's face and hand and was worried. She hugged Lily and took her inside the house. She cleaned Lily's wounds and put a bandage on them. + +"Snowy hurt me, mom! He is a bad cat!" Lily said. + +"No, Lily, Snowy is not a bad cat. He was just scared and wanted to rest. You played too rough with him. You have to be gentle with fragile things, like Snowy, or butterflies, or flowers. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Lily nodded, but she was still angry at Snowy. She did not want to play with him anymore. She wanted a new cat, a big cat, a strong cat, a cat that would not scratch or bite her. + +Snowy was alone in the garden. He was hurt and sad. He had a big bruise on his side and a cut on his ear. He limped to a shady spot under a tree and lay down. He wanted to rest, but he could not. He heard a loud noise and saw a big dog running towards him. The dog was barking and growling. Snowy was terrified. He tried to run, but he was too slow. The dog caught him and shook him hard. Snowy screamed and then was silent. The dog dropped him and ran away. Snowy was dead. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a big doll with long hair and a pink dress. She named her doll Anna and always took her everywhere. + +One day, Lily's mom told her to clean her room. Lily did not want to clean her room. She wanted to play with Anna. She was impatient and said no to her mom. Her mom was angry and said she would punish Lily if she did not do what she was told. + +Lily did not listen to her mom. She ran away with Anna and hid under the bed. She thought her mom would not find her there. She played with Anna and made her talk and sing. She forgot about cleaning her room. + +But her mom did find her under the bed. She was very angry and said Lily was a naughty girl. She took Anna away from Lily and said she would not give her back until Lily cleaned her room. Lily cried and begged for Anna, but her mom did not listen. She left Lily alone under the bed. + +Lily was very sad and sorry. She wished she had listened to her mom and cleaned her room. She missed Anna and wanted to hug her and say sorry. But it was too late. She had lost her favorite toy and her mom's love. She had a bad ending. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy guns. They pretend to be spies and soldiers. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They open it and see many things inside. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tim says. He picks up a shiny gun that looks real. "This is a laser gun. It can split things in half." + +"Let me see!" Sam says. He tries to grab the gun from Tim. "I want to play with it too." + +"No, it's mine!" Tim says. He pulls the gun away from Sam. "You can have the other toys." + +They start to fight over the gun. They push and pull and shout. The gun slips from their hands and falls on the floor. It makes a loud noise and a bright flash. The box splits in half. + +"Uh-oh," Tim and Sam say. They look at the box and see smoke and wires. "This is not a toy. This is a bomb." + +They hear their dad coming. He runs into the garage and sees the mess. He is angry and scared. He picks up the gun and the box. He tells Tim and Sam to go to their room. + +"Where did you get this?" he asks. "This is a dangerous weapon. It belongs to the bad guys. They wanted to use it to hurt people. You could have been hurt too." + +Tim and Sam feel sorry and ashamed. They did not know the gun was real. They did not know the box was a bomb. They hug their dad and say they are sorry. + +"It's okay," their dad says. He hugs them back. "You are safe now. I am a spy. I work for the good guys. I was trying to stop the bad guys. I hid the gun and the box in the garage. But you found them. You were very lucky. You also helped me. You split the bomb and made it useless. You were successful spies." + +Tim and Sam smile. They are happy and proud. They still like to play with their toy guns. But they never touch the real gun again. They know it is not a game. They know their dad is a hero. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, they find a big book with many pictures. The book is interesting. It shows them animals and plants and places. + +"Look, Mia, this is a lion. It has a big mane and sharp teeth. It lives in Africa," Tom says, pointing to a picture. + +"Wow, it is so big and yellow. I like lions. Can we see one?" Mia asks. + +"Maybe. We can ask Mom and Dad to take us to the zoo. There are lions there," Tom says. + +They turn the page and see another picture. It is a butterfly. It has many colors and patterns on its wings. It is sitting on a flower. + +"Look, Tom, this is a butterfly. It has pretty wings and a long tongue. It drinks nectar from flowers," Mia says, pointing to the picture. + +"Wow, it is so small and beautiful. I like butterflies. Can we catch one?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe. We can go to the garden and look for them. They like to fly in the sun," Mia says. + +They spread the book on the grass and look at more pictures. They learn new things and have fun. They like the book. It is interesting. It shows them the sun and the world. +Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big teddy bear. They called him Cocoa, because he was brown and soft. + +One day, Tom and Mia had a fight. They both wanted to hug Cocoa, but he was too small for both of them. They pulled and pulled, but neither of them would let go. + +"Give me Cocoa!" Tom shouted. + +"No, he is mine!" Mia yelled. + +They were both very stubborn. They did not want to share or take turns. They made Cocoa very sad. + +Then, something bad happened. Cocoa ripped in the middle. His stuffing came out. Tom and Mia stopped pulling. They looked at Cocoa and felt sorry. + +"Oh no, we broke Cocoa!" Tom cried. + +"We are sorry, Cocoa!" Mia sobbed. + +They hugged Cocoa and each other. They said they were sorry for fighting. They decided to part Cocoa. Tom took his head and Mia took his body. They said they would sew him back together later. + +They learned that being stubborn was not good. They learned that sharing and being kind was better. They were still best friends. And Cocoa was happy again. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they hear their mom call them from the kitchen. She has news for them. + +"Boys, come here! I have something to tell you!" Mom says. + +Sam and Ben rush to the kitchen. They hope Mom has a surprise for them. Maybe a new toy or a snack. + +"Guess what, boys? We are going to have a baby sister soon!" Mom says with a smile. + +Sam and Ben are not happy. They do not want a baby sister. They think she will cry and take their toys and Mom's attention. + +"No, Mom, no! We do not want a baby sister! We want to be only two!" Sam says. + +"Me too, Mom, me too! A baby sister is bad news!" Ben says. + +Mom is sad. She tries to explain to Sam and Ben that a baby sister is a good thing. She says they will love her and she will love them. She says they will be a big and happy family. + +But Sam and Ben do not listen. They are angry and jealous. They run to their room and slam the door. They do not want to talk to Mom or see her belly. + +Mom cries. She does not know what to do. She wants her boys to be happy and generous. She wants them to welcome their baby sister. She hopes they will change their minds soon. But they do not. They stay mad and mean. + +The end. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big igloo with their dad and put some blankets and pillows inside. They pretended it was their house and they were explorers. + +One day, they decided to have a picnic in their igloo. They packed some tasty sandwiches, cookies, and juice in a basket. They put on their hats, scarves, and gloves and walked to their igloo. + +"Look, Ben, there's a bird on our igloo!" Sara said, pointing to a red cardinal. "Maybe he wants some of our food." + +"Let's share with him, Sara. He must be hungry and cold," Ben said. He opened the basket and took out a cookie. He broke it in half and gave one part to Sara and one part to the bird. + +"Thank you, Ben. Thank you, Sara," the bird said, surprising them. "You are very kind and generous. I have a gift for you." + +"A gift? What is it?" Sara asked, curious. + +"You'll see. Follow me," the bird said, flying away. Sara and Ben left their basket in the igloo and followed the bird. + +The bird led them to a big tree. He flew to a branch and pointed to a hole. "Look inside," he said. + +Sara and Ben looked inside the hole and gasped. There was a treasure chest full of shiny things. There were coins, jewels, toys, and books. + +"Wow! This is amazing!" Ben said, reaching for the chest. + +"This is for you, Sara and Ben. You can take whatever you want. You deserve it for being so nice to me and to each other," the bird said. + +"Thank you, bird. You are very nice too. Can we be friends?" Sara asked. + +"Of course. You are my friends. And you can come back anytime you want. But don't tell anyone else about this. It's our secret," the bird said. + +"Okay. We won't tell anyone. We promise," Sara and Ben said. + +They hugged the bird and took some of the treasure. They went back to their igloo and had their picnic. They were very happy and grateful. They had a new friend and a new adventure. +Lila and Ben are at the beach with their mom and dad. They like to play in the sand and splash in the water. They see many things in the water, like fish, crabs and shells. They also see some jellyfish. Jellyfish are soft and wobbly, and they have long tentacles. Lila and Ben think jellyfish are cool. + +"Look, mom, jellyfish!" Lila says, pointing at the water. + +"Yes, they are jellyfish, but be careful, they can sting you," mom says. + +"Can we touch them?" Ben asks. + +"No, you can't touch them, they will hurt you. You can look at them, but stay away from them," dad says. + +Lila and Ben nod, but they are curious. They wonder how jellyfish feel and what they do. They wish they could become jellyfish for a day and swim with them. + +They see a big jellyfish near the shore. It is pink and purple, and it has many tentacles. It looks very pretty. Lila and Ben want to see it closer. They sneak away from their mom and dad and go to the water. They reach out their hands to touch the jellyfish. + +"Ouch!" they both scream. The jellyfish stings them. It hurts a lot. They run back to their mom and dad, crying. + +"Mom, dad, the jellyfish stung us!" they say. + +"Oh no, are you okay?" mom and dad ask. They hug them and check their hands. They have red marks on them. + +"We're sorry, we wanted to touch the jellyfish, we wanted to become jellyfish," Lila and Ben say. + +"You can't become jellyfish, you are humans. And you can't touch jellyfish, they are dangerous. You have to listen to us and stay away from them," mom and dad say. + +They take them to a lifeguard, who puts some cream on their hands. He tells them to be careful and not to touch jellyfish again. He also gives them some stickers and candy to make them feel better. + +Lila and Ben feel sorry and silly. They realize they made a mistake. They don't want to become jellyfish anymore. They want to be humans and play with their mom and dad. They hug them and say they love them. They also say they love jellyfish, but only from far away. They think jellyfish are cool, but not as cool as their family. +Sara loved her kitten, Lily. She liked to play with her, hug her, and feed her. But she did not like to wash her. Lily hated water and always scratched and bit Sara when she tried to wash her. + +One day, Sara's mom said, "Sara, you have to wash Lily. She is very dirty and smelly. Look, I have a nice bowl of warm water and some soap for you. Be a good girl and wash your kitten." + +Sara did not want to make her mom angry, so she took Lily to the bathroom. She put her in the bowl and poured some water on her. Lily was very scared and angry. She meowed loudly and tried to escape. She scratched Sara's face and bit her hand. Sara cried and let go of Lily. + +Lily ran out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. She saw a big cake on the table. It was Sara's birthday cake. Sara's mom had baked it for her and decorated it with candles and frosting. Lily was hungry and curious. She jumped on the table and ate some of the cake. She made a big mess and ruined the cake. + +Sara's mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the table and the cake on the floor. She was very angry and sad. She shouted, "Lily, you bad kitten! How could you do this? You have spoiled Sara's birthday! Go away, go away!" + +She grabbed Lily and put her in a box. She took the box to the car and drove away. She gave Lily to a farmer who had many animals. She did not tell Sara where she went. She thought she was being generous and giving Lily a better home. + +Sara was very sad and lonely. She missed Lily very much. She did not understand why her mom took her away. She did not want a new cake or a new toy. She only wanted her kitten back. She cried every night and wished for Lily to come back. But Lily never came back. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big hill of sand. They want to make a castle. + +"Let's get some water and salt," Ben says. "We can make the sand stick together." + +"OK," Anna says. "I have a bottle of water and a jar of salt in my bag." + +They run to the bench where they left their bags. Anna opens her bag and takes out the water and the salt. She gives them to Ben. + +"Thank you," Ben says. He pours some water and some salt on the sand. He mixes them with his hands. The sand becomes wet and hard. + +"Wow, it works!" Anna says. She helps Ben to shape the sand into a castle. They make walls and towers and a door. They are very happy. + +They finish their castle. They stand back and look at it. It is very big and pretty. + +"Let's go inside," Ben says. He holds Anna's hand and they walk to the door. + +They try to enter the castle, but the door is too small. They push and pull, but they cannot fit. + +"Oh no, the door is too tight!" Anna says. She feels sad. + +"Maybe we can make it bigger," Ben says. He tries to break the sand with his hands, but it is too hard. He feels angry. + +They hear a loud noise. They turn around and see a big dog. The dog is running towards them. The dog likes to play with sand. The dog jumps on the castle and knocks it down. The sand falls everywhere. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouts. He waves his arms at the dog. + +"Go away, bad dog!" Anna cries. She throws some sand at the dog. + +The dog barks and runs away. Anna and Ben look at their castle. It is gone. They feel very sad. + +They hug each other and wipe their tears. They decide to play something else. They leave the sand and go to the swings. They swing high and low. They laugh and smile. They forget about the castle. They are happy again. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. Mom says they have to organize their toys before dinner. Lily and Tom do not want to organize. They want to play more. + +"Let's make a game of it," Lily says. "We can sort our toys by color. I will take the red ones and you take the blue ones. Then we can put them in different boxes." + +"OK, that sounds fun," Tom says. "But what about the other colors? And what about the toys that have many colors?" + +"We can make more boxes for them," Lily says. "Look, there is a big black box over there. We can put the toys that have black in them in that box." + +Lily and Tom start to sort their toys by color. They find many toys that have red and blue, but also some that have yellow, green, pink, and purple. They make more boxes for those colors. They also find some toys that have black in them, like a panda, a car, and a book. They put them in the big black box. + +They are almost done when Lily sees something shiny on the shelf. It is a glass. It is Mom's glass. It has water and ice in it. Lily likes the glass. It is clear and cold. She wants to touch it. + +"Lily, don't touch that!" Tom says. "That is Mom's glass. She will be mad if you break it." + +"I just want to see it," Lily says. She reaches for the glass. But she is too small. She cannot reach it. She tries to stand on her toes. She loses her balance. She falls. She knocks over the big black box. The toys spill out. The glass falls too. It breaks. It makes a loud noise. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room. She sees the mess. She sees the broken glass. She sees Lily and Tom. She is not happy. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. "Did you organize your toys or did you make more trouble?" + +Lily and Tom are scared. They do not know what to say. They look at each other. They look at Mom. They say sorry. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Anna wants to go first. She climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She holds on to the sides and pushes herself down. + +"Whee!" she shouts as she slides down. The slide is smooth and fast. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. + +Ben watches her and waits for his turn. He thinks the slide looks fun. He follows her up the ladder and sits on the slide. He does not hold on to the sides. He lifts his arms and legs and spins around. + +"Wow!" he says as he spins down. The slide is smooth and fast. He feels dizzy and happy. + +Anna sees him spinning and laughs. She runs to the bottom of the slide and waits for him. She sees him land on the grass with a thud. + +"Are you okay?" she asks him. + +Ben nods and smiles. He stands up and brushes himself off. + +"That was fun!" he says. "Let's do it again!" + +Anna agrees. They run back to the slide and take turns sliding and spinning. They have a lot of fun. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It sounds like a big truck. They look around and see a big hole in the ground. There are men and machines working there. They are digging underground. + +"What are they doing?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe they are looking for something." + +"Like what?" Anna says. + +"Like treasure," Ben says. "Or dinosaurs." + +Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see what is underground. They walk closer to the hole and peek inside. They see dirt and rocks and pipes. They do not see any treasure or dinosaurs. + +They are disappointed. They think the hole is boring. They decide to go back to the slide. They think the slide is more fun than the hole. They slide and spin until it is time to go home. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But they did not like to wait for things. They were impatient. + +One day, their mom said they were going to visit their grandma. Grandma was sick and needed some love. Anna and Ben wanted to see grandma, but they did not want to go in the car. The car was boring and slow. + +Mom said they had to go in the car, and they had to be quiet and good. She said they could pray for grandma to feel better. Anna and Ben did not know how to pray. They asked mom what it meant. + +Mom said praying was talking to God in your heart. She said God was True and good, and he listened to everyone. She said they could ask God to help grandma and to give them patience. + +Anna and Ben tried to pray. They closed their eyes and said in their hearts, "God, please help grandma. Please make her well. Please give us patience. Thank you. Amen." They felt a little better. They opened their eyes and saw mom smiling at them. She said they were doing great. + +They still had to wait in the car, but they did not complain as much. They looked at the trees and the clouds and the birds. They sang some songs and told some jokes. They prayed again for grandma. They hoped she would be happy to see them. They loved her very much. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with flags. They have many flags of different colors and shapes. They make a game of finding flags and putting them on a big stick. + +One day, they find a flag that is very special. It has many stars and stripes on it. It is very pretty and shiny. Lila and Ben both want the flag. They think it is unique. + +They start to fight over the flag. They pull and tug and yell. They do not share. They do not value their friendship. They only value the flag. + +The flag is not strong. It rips and tears. Lila and Ben are sad and angry. They have no flag and no friend. They cry and walk away. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they find a big box under a tree. They wonder what is inside. + +"Maybe it is a gift for us," Anna says. + +"Maybe it is a trap for bad people," Ben says. + +They are curious and brave. They open the box slowly. Inside, they see a lot of books, crayons, stickers and puzzles. They are very happy. + +"Wow, this is a great surprise!" Anna says. + +"Who gave us this?" Ben asks. + +They look around, but they do not see anyone. They see a note on the box. It says: "To Anna and Ben, from a secret friend. Enjoy and share. Thank you for being kind and calm." + +Anna and Ben smile. They think they have a very nice secret friend. They thank the friend in their hearts. They decide to share the toys with other children in the park. They have a lot of fun. They keep the note as a memory. They wonder who the secret friend is. Maybe they will find out one day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing high and slide fast. They laughed and had fun. They did not see the big dog that came near them. The dog was careless. He did not know how to play nice. + +The dog saw Lily's ball. He wanted it. He ran to the ball and grabbed it with his teeth. He shook it hard and made it pop. Lily heard the noise and turned around. She saw the dog and her broken ball. She felt sad and angry. She shouted at the dog. + +"Bad dog! Give me back my ball! You are mean and naughty!" + +The dog did not listen. He was happy with his toy. He ran away with the ball in his mouth. He did not care about Lily's feelings. + +Ben saw what happened. He felt sorry for Lily. He wanted to help her. He had another ball in his backpack. He took it out and gave it to Lily. He said to her. + +"Don't cry, Lily. Here, you can have my ball. It is blue and shiny. I like to share with you. You are my friend." + +Lily looked at Ben and his ball. She felt better. She smiled and hugged him. She said to him. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind and sweet. I like your ball. It is pretty and bright. I like to play with you. You are my friend too." + +They threw the ball to each other and chased it. They forgot about the dog and the broken ball. They had fun again. They were happy. They rose high on the swing and slid fast on the slide. They laughed and had fun. They were careful and nice. +Sara and Ben love to play with cubes. They have many cubes of different colors and sizes. They like to stack them, roll them, and make shapes with them. + +One day, they find a very unusual cube in the toy box. It is shiny and has many buttons on it. When they press a button, the cube makes a funny sound or a light. Sara and Ben are very curious and excited. They want to see what else the cube can do. + +They take turns pressing the buttons and watching the cube. Sometimes the cube says a word, like "hello" or "cat". Sometimes the cube plays a song, like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" or "Old MacDonald". Sometimes the cube shows a picture, like a flower or a car. Sara and Ben laugh and clap their hands. They think the cube is very smart and fun. + +They play with the cube for a long time, until their mom calls them for lunch. They put the cube back in the toy box and say goodbye to it. They promise to play with it again later. They hug each other and run to the kitchen. They love their unusual cube and each other. +Lily and Ben are twins, but they are very different. Lily likes to draw and sing, Ben likes to run and jump. One day, they go to the park with their mom. There is a big maze made of plants. Lily and Ben want to play in the maze. + +"Let's go together," Lily says. "It will be fun." + +"No, I want to go alone," Ben says. "It will be fast." + +They go in the maze from different sides. Lily walks slowly and looks at the flowers and the birds. She sings a song to herself. Ben runs quickly and tries to find the way out. He does not see anything else. + +Soon, Lily gets to the middle of the maze. There is a big hill with a slide. She climbs up the hill and sees the sun rise in the sky. It is very pretty. She smiles and slides down. + +Ben also gets to the middle of the maze. He sees the hill and the slide. He thinks it is boring. He does not look at the sun. He wants to get out of the maze. He runs up the hill and slides down. + +Lily and Ben meet at the bottom of the slide. They look at each other. + +"Did you have fun?" Lily asks. + +"No, it was too easy," Ben says. + +"I had fun," Lily says. "It was very nice." + +They hug each other. They are different, but they love each other. Their mom comes and takes them home. They are happy. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They were eager to find new things and have fun. One day, they saw a big black bird on a tree. It was a raven. They wanted to see it closer, so they ran to the tree. + +"Hello, raven!" Tim shouted. "Can you talk to us?" + +The raven looked at them with its shiny eyes. It did not say anything. It just made a loud noise. "Caw, caw, caw!" + +Sam shouted back. "What are you saying, raven? Are you angry?" + +The raven did not like the boys shouting at it. It felt scared and annoyed. It wanted them to go away. It flew down from the tree and pecked at Sam's head. Sam cried out in pain. He dropped to the ground and held his head. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The raven bit me!" Sam said. + +Tim was shocked. He ran to help his brother. He tried to shoo away the raven, but it was too fast and strong. It pecked at Tim's arm and made him bleed. Tim screamed and fell down too. + +"Help, help, help! The raven is hurting us!" Tim said. + +But no one heard them. They were too far from their home and their mom. The raven kept attacking them until they stopped moving. It was a bad day for Tim and Sam. They should not have shouted at the raven. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a sign that says "Do not walk on the grass". Tom says, "Let's walk on the grass. It looks fun." Mia says, "No, Tom. The sign says no. We have to listen to the sign." + +But Tom does not listen. He walks on the grass. He is clumsy. He trips on a rock. He falls down. He hurts his knee. He cries. Mia runs to him. She says, "Tom, are you okay? I told you not to walk on the grass. You should have listened to the sign." + +A man comes to the park. He is angry. He says, "Who walked on the grass? The sign says no. You are bad. You have to pay for the grass. It is not cheap." He sees Tom and Mia. He points at them. He says, "You did it. You walked on the grass. You have to pay me now." + +Tom and Mia are scared. They do not have money. They say, "We are sorry. We did not mean to. Please do not be mad." But the man does not care. He says, "Sorry is not enough. You have to pay. Come with me." He grabs Tom and Mia by the arms. He takes them away. They do not know where he is taking them. They cry. They wish they had listened to the sign. +Tim and Mia like to play outside. They have a big yard with grass and flowers and a swing. Sometimes they see bugs and birds and squirrels. They are happy and curious. + +One day, they find a hole in the ground. It is a drain. It is round and dark and has bars. They wonder what is inside. They hear a noise. It sounds like water. They want to look closer. + +They go near the drain and bend down. They see water and mud and rocks. They also see something else. It is a rat. It is big and gray and has sharp teeth. It is angry and scared. It sees Tim and Mia and makes a bad sound. + +Tim and Mia are afraid. They do not like the rat. They do not understand why it is in the drain. They think it is bad and dangerous. They run away from the drain and scream for help. + +Mom and Dad hear them and come outside. They see the rat and the drain and hug Tim and Mia. They tell them to stay away from the drain. They say it is not safe and not for playing. They explain that the rat lives in the drain and does not like people. They say they will call someone to fix the drain and make it better. + +Tim and Mia nod and say sorry. They understand that the drain is not a toy and the rat is not a friend. They are glad that Mom and Dad are there and love them. They go to the swing and forget about the drain and the rat. They are happy and curious again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the woods. They liked to pretend they were animals. Ben was a lion and Lily was a deer. They ran and jumped and roared and bleated. + +But then they heard a loud bang. It was a hunter with a gun. He saw Lily and aimed at her. Ben saw him too and was scared. He wanted to save Lily. + +He ran as fast as he could and jumped on the hunter. He bit his arm and scratched his face. The hunter dropped his gun and yelled. He tried to shake Ben off, but Ben held on tight. + +Lily saw what Ben did and ran to him. She kicked the hunter in the leg and made him fall. She and Ben ran away from him. They found a smooth rock to hide behind. They hugged each other and breathed hard. + +"Thank you, Ben," Lily said. "You saved me. You are a brave lion." + +"You are welcome, Lily," Ben said. "You helped me too. You are a smart deer." + +They smiled and licked each other's faces. They were happy and safe. They decided to play something else. They did not like hunters. +Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to make their own games. They found some paper and scissors and decided to make snowflakes. They cut the paper into circles and then made small cuts on the edges. They made many snowflakes of different sizes and shapes. + +"Look, Tom, I made a big snowflake!" Lily said, holding up her paper. "It is very pretty and delicate. Can I put it on the window?" + +"Sure, Lily, that is a good idea. The window is big and clear. The snowflake will look nice there." Tom said, nodding. He also made a big snowflake and followed Lily to the window. + +They stuck their snowflakes on the window with some tape. They were happy with their work. They clapped their hands and smiled. They looked outside and saw that it was snowing. Real snowflakes were falling from the sky. They were white and soft and sparkled in the sun. + +"Wow, Lily, look! It is snowing! The real snowflakes are like our paper snowflakes!" Tom said, pointing at the window. + +"Yes, Tom, they are! They are beautiful and delicate too. Maybe they want to be friends with our snowflakes." Lily said, giggling. + +They pressed their noses against the window and watched the snowflakes. They felt warm and cozy in their room. They did not notice that the tape was not very strong. The paper snowflakes started to peel off the window. They fluttered in the air and landed on the floor. + +"Oh no, Lily, our snowflakes are falling!" Tom said, alarmed. + +"Quick, Tom, let's catch them! They are delicate, they might break!" Lily said, running to the floor. + +They tried to catch the paper snowflakes, but they were too fast and light. They slipped through their fingers and crumpled on the floor. They felt sad and sorry. They had worked hard to make the snowflakes. They wanted them to stay on the window. + +"Don't cry, Lily, don't cry, Tom. It is okay. The paper snowflakes are not gone. They are still here. We can make them again. Or we can make something else. We have more paper and scissors. We can make anything we want." Mom said, coming into the room. She saw the paper snowflakes on the floor and the tears in their eyes. She hugged them and kissed them. She was not angry or upset. She was proud and loving. + +"Really, Mom? We can make them again?" Lily asked, wiping her eyes. + +"Really, Tom? We can make something else?" Tom asked, sniffing. + +"Really, really. You are very creative and clever. You can make anything you want. And you know what? The real snowflakes are still outside. They are still on the window. They are still your friends. Why don't we go outside and play with them? We can make a snowman, or a snow angel, or a snow fort. We can have fun in the snow. What do you say?" Mom said, smiling. + +"Yes, Mom, yes! Let's go outside and play with the snowflakes!" Lily and Tom said, cheering. They forgot about the paper snowflakes. They grabbed their coats and hats and gloves and boots. They followed Mom to the door. They clapped their hands and smiled. They were happy and excited. They loved the snow. They loved Mom. They loved each other. +Tim and Lily are playing with their dog, Max. Max is big and has brown fur. He likes to run and jump and lick their faces. Tim and Lily laugh and hug him. + +But then, Max sees a cat outside the window. He barks and runs to the door. He wants to chase the cat. Tim and Lily try to stop him. They hold his collar and say, "No, Max, stay!" + +Max is strong and pulls hard. He makes Tim and Lily struggle. They fall on the floor and get messy. Max runs out of the door and after the cat. + +Tim and Lily are sad and angry. They get up and brush their clothes. They look at the door and hope Max will come back soon. + +They hear a noise. It is Max. He is back. He has a scratch on his nose and dirt on his fur. He looks sorry. He wags his tail and whines. + +Tim and Lily are happy and relieved. They forgive Max and hug him. They say, "We love you, Max, but don't chase cats again!" + +They take Max inside and clean his nose and fur. They give him a treat and a toy. They play with him and make him happy. They are a good family. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and beep and crash. But soon, Lila's car stopped moving. She tried to push it, but it did not work. + +"Lila, what's wrong with your car?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. It's broken," Lila said sadly. + +"Maybe it needs a new battery," Ben suggested. "A battery is a thing that makes your car go. It has power inside. Sometimes, the power runs out and you have to replace it with a new one." + +"Replace? What does that mean?" Lila asked. + +"It means you take out the old thing and put in a new thing. Like this." Ben showed Lila how to open the back of her car and take out the battery. He gave her a new battery from his box of spare ones. "This is a powerful battery. It will make your car go fast and long." + +"Wow, thank you, Ben!" Lila said. She put the new battery in her car and closed the back. She pressed the button and her car started to move again. She was happy. + +Lila and Ben continued to play with their toy cars. They learned that replacing old things with new things can make them work better. They also learned to share and help each other. They had fun and were good friends. +Sara and Ben were playing in the backyard. They saw Mom hanging laundry on the line. They wanted to help Mom. + +"Let's cut the laundry with scissors!" Ben said. He ran to get the scissors from the shed. + +"No, Ben, that's bad!" Sara said. She followed him. "Mom will be mad if you cut the laundry!" + +But Ben did not listen. He cut a big hole in Mom's shirt. He cut a long rip in Dad's pants. He cut a small piece of Sara's dress. + +Sara was very sad. She liked her dress. She tried to stop Ben, but he was too fast. + +"Ben, stop it!" Sara cried. "You are ruining the laundry!" + +Mom heard Sara's cry. She came to the backyard. She saw the laundry on the ground. She saw the scissors in Ben's hand. She saw the holes and the rips and the pieces. + +Mom was very angry. She took the scissors from Ben. She scolded him. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Mom said. "You cut the laundry! That's very naughty! You wasted our clothes! You hurt Sara's feelings! You should be ashamed of yourself!" + +Ben felt ashamed. He knew he did a bad thing. He saw Mom's face. He saw Sara's tears. He felt sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Ben said. "I'm sorry, Sara. I was just trying to help. I didn't mean to cut the laundry." + +Mom sighed. She hugged Ben and Sara. + +"I know you were trying to help, Ben," Mom said. "But you have to be careful with scissors. They are not toys. They can be dangerous. And you have to respect our clothes. They are not for cutting. They are for wearing." + +Ben nodded. He learned his lesson. He said sorry again. He helped Mom pick up the laundry. He helped Sara mend her dress. He promised to never cut the laundry again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the old house. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find new things. They saw a big door that was shut. They wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe there is treasure or a secret room!" + +Lily was scared. She saw a lot of cobwebs on the door and the walls. She thought there might be spiders or ghosts. She shook her head. + +"No, Ben. I don't want to go. It looks scary and dirty. Let's play somewhere else." + +Ben was angry. He wanted to be brave and curious. He thought Lily was a baby. He pushed the door with all his strength. He wanted to show her he was powerful. + +"Come on, Lily. Don't be a chicken. It's just a door. Look, I can open it!" + +But the door was very old and heavy. It did not move. Ben pushed harder and harder. He grunted and groaned. He did not notice the cobweb that fell on his head. He did not hear the squeak that came from behind the door. + +Suddenly, the door opened with a loud bang. Ben fell on the floor. He looked up and saw a big rat with red eyes. It hissed and ran towards him. Ben screamed and ran away. He was very scared. + +Lily saw what happened. She felt sorry for Ben. She also saw a broom next to the door. She grabbed it and swung it at the rat. She hit it and made it run away. She was very brave. + +She helped Ben get up and hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry I called you a chicken. You are powerful. But sometimes it's better to be careful and listen to your friends." + +Ben nodded and hugged her back. He said, "Thank you, Lily. I'm sorry I pushed you. You are brave. And you are my friend." + +They smiled and walked away. They decided to play somewhere else. They learned a lesson. They were happy. +Lila liked to feed the birds in the park. She had a bag of bread and some seeds. She threw them on the grass and watched the birds come and eat. She saw a big bird with a red zip on its head. It was a woodpecker. Lila wanted to feed it too. + +She walked closer to the tree where the woodpecker was. She held out a piece of bread. The woodpecker looked at her and flew down. It did not want the bread. It wanted the zip. It pecked at Lila's head with its sharp beak. It hurt a lot.

The blocks go everywhere. Tim and Mia are scared. They run away from the dark block. + +They find their mom. They tell her what happened. Mom hugs them and says, "Don't worry, my loves. The dark block is not a toy. It is a battery. It has power inside. It is not for playing. It is for resting. It needs to rest in a safe place. Come, I will show you." + +Mom takes the dark block and puts it in a box. She closes the box and puts it on a shelf. She says, "The dark block will rest here. It will not make noise or glow or shake. It will be quiet and calm. It will not hurt you or your towers. You can play with the other blocks. They are good blocks. They are for playing. They are for fun." + +Tim and Mia nod.

"And I look like a spy princess." + +They hear Mom coming. They hide under the bed. Mom does not see them. She goes to the bathroom. + +"Let's go to the car," Ben whispers.

You can draw on the wall outside." + +John was excited. He got some chalk from the shed and started drawing on the wall. He drew a big happy face, then he added some stars and the sun.

Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lisa nodded and said, "Yes, sir. We understand. We will never do it again. We will apologize to our mom and the workers. We will help to fix the toys and the factory. We will be good and careful." + +The boss smiled and said, "That's good. I accept your apology and your request. I will help you to find your mom and to fix the problems. I will also show you some of the toys that are ready and safe. But you have to promise me that you will never sneak into the factory again. Deal?" + +Tom and Lisa smiled and said, "Deal! Thank you, sir. You are very clever and kind." + +The boss took Tom and Lisa by the hand and led them out of the factory. He found their mom, who was very worried and relieved. He explained what had happened and how he had solved it. He gave Tom and Lisa some toys as a gift and a lesson. He said goodbye and wished them well. + +Tom and Lisa hugged their mom and said, "We are sorry, mom. We love you, mom. We learned our lesson, mom. We will never run away from you again, mom." + +Mom hugged them back and said, "I'm glad you are safe and sorry. I love you too, Tom and Lisa. You are my clever and sweet twins. But you also have to be obedient and wise. Now, let's go home and play with your new toys." + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had. They found a big box full of books. Some books had pictures, some books had letters, some books had both. + +"Look, Lily, this book has a dragon on the cover!" Tom said. He opened the book and saw many pages with colorful drawings of dragons, knights, and castles. He wanted to read the book, but the pages were torn and dirty. + +"Oh, no, the book is dead!" Lily said. She was sad. She liked dragons too. She wanted to see the book. + +"Maybe we can fix it," Tom said. He had an idea. He ran downstairs and got some tape, scissors, and glue. He came back to the attic and started to restore the book. He cut off the bad parts of the pages and taped them together. He glued the cover back to the spine. He cleaned the dust and dirt from the book. + +"Look, Lily, the book is alive again!" Tom said. He showed the book to Lily. The book looked better. The pictures were bright and clear. The letters were neat and smooth. + +"Wow, Tom, you are so smart! You saved the book!" Lily said. She hugged Tom and the book. She was happy. She wanted to read the book with Tom. + +They sat on the floor and opened the book. They looked at the pictures and tried to read the words. They imagined they were in the book, flying with the dragons, fighting with the knights, and living in the castles. They had fun. They loved the book. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. They have many toys, like cars, dolls, blocks and books. They like to make noises and stories with their toys. They are having fun. + +But then, Tom starts to yawn. He feels sleepy. He rubs his eyes and says, "Mia, I'm tired. Can we stop playing now?" + +Mia looks at him and says, "No, Tom, don't be tired. We still have time to play. Look, I have a new book. It has pictures of animals. Do you want to see?" + +Tom shakes his head and yawns again. He says, "No, Mia, I don't want to see. I want to sleep. Can we go to bed now?" + +Mia thinks for a moment. She wants to play more, but she also loves her brother. She says, "OK, Tom, we can go to bed. But first, let's have a treat. Mommy left some cookies for us in the kitchen. They are tasty. Do you want one?" + +Tom nods and smiles. He likes cookies. He says, "Yes, Mia, I want one. Thank you for being nice. You are a good sister." + +They go to the kitchen and take a cookie each. They eat them and say, "Mmm, yummy!" They drink some milk and wipe their mouths. They feel happy. + +They go to their bedroom and put on their pajamas. They brush their teeth and hug their teddy bears. They climb into their beds and say, "Good night, Mia. Good night, Tom. I love you." + +They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of toys and cookies and animals. They are happy. +Tommy loved his toy animal. It was a brown bear with soft fur and a red bow. He took it everywhere with him. He hugged it at night, he played with it in the day, he shared his snacks with it. He called it Buddy. + +One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom and Buddy. He saw a big slide and wanted to try it. He left Buddy on a bench and ran to the slide. He had fun going up and down, but he forgot about Buddy. + +When he came back to the bench, he saw a girl holding Buddy. She said it was her toy animal now. Tommy was angry and sad. He said it was his toy animal and he wanted it back. The girl said no and ran away. + +Tommy cried and ran to his mom. He told her what happened. His mom was sorry and said they would look for the girl and Buddy. She said maybe the girl did not have a toy animal of her own and wanted one. She said it was not nice to take things from others, but it was also good to share and be kind. + +They looked around the park, but they could not find the girl and Buddy. Tommy was very sad. He thought he would never see Buddy again. His mom said they could go to the store and buy a new toy animal. She said it would not replace Buddy, but it would be a new friend for Tommy. + +Tommy nodded and wiped his tears. He said he would like a new toy animal, but he would always remember Buddy. He said he hoped the girl would take good care of Buddy and be happy. He said he learned to be more careful with his things and to be more generous with others. He said he loved his mom and thanked her for helping him. His mom hugged him and said she loved him too. They went to the store and Tommy picked a blue elephant with big ears and a yellow hat. He called it Ellie. He smiled and said Ellie and Buddy would be his best toy animals ever. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big pool with water and toys. They splash and laugh and have fun. + +"Look, Anna, I have a boat!" Ben says. He shows her a plastic boat that floats on the water. + +"Wow, Ben, that's a nice boat!" Anna says. She has a rubber duck that quacks when she squeezes it. + +They play with their toys for a while, then they see something moving in the grass. It is a furry cat. The cat is black and white and has green eyes. It looks at them and meows. + +"Hello, cat!" Anna says. She gets out of the pool and goes to the cat. She wants to pet it. + +"Be careful, Anna, the cat might scratch you!" Ben says. He stays in the pool and watches. + +Anna reaches out her hand to the cat. The cat sniffs her hand and rubs its head against it. It purrs and lets Anna pet it. + +"You're a nice cat!" Anna says. She picks up the cat and hugs it. The cat is warm and soft and heavy. + +"Anna, you're wet!" Ben says. "The cat will get wet too!" + +Anna looks at the cat. The cat is wet. It shakes its fur and meows. + +"Oops, sorry, cat!" Anna says. She puts the cat down and runs to the pool. She grabs a towel and wraps it around the cat. The towel is blue and fluffy and dry. + +"There, cat, now you're dry!" Anna says. She smiles and kisses the cat. + +The cat looks at Anna and Ben. It meows and licks its paw. It seems happy. + +Anna and Ben are happy too. They have a new friend. They play with the cat and the towel and the toys. They have a lot of fun. +One day, Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They were having a lot of fun. + +But then, Tom tripped and fell on a rock. He hurt his knee and it started to bleed. He cried out loud and Lily ran to him. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. She saw his knee and felt sorry for him. "That looks scary. Does it hurt a lot?" + +Tom nodded and sniffed. He was scared of the blood and the pain. He wanted his mom and dad. + +Lily hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Tom. I can help you. I have a bandage in my backpack. I can fix your knee." + +She took out a bandage and wrapped it around Tom's knee. She kissed it and said, "There, all better. The bandage will stop the blood and make your knee feel better." + +Tom smiled and thanked Lily. He felt less scared and more brave. He said, "You are a good friend, Lily. You fixed my knee. Can we still play?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Of course, Tom. But be careful of the rocks. They are mean and sharp. Let's go to the slide. It is fun and smooth." + +They held hands and ran to the slide. They slid down and laughed. They forgot about the scary rock and the hurt knee. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Sam were going on a tour of the zoo with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see the animals, but also a little nervous. They had never seen so many big and loud creatures before. + +When they got to the zoo, they followed a guide who showed them different animals and told them their names. Lily and Sam liked the monkeys, who swung from the trees and made funny noises. They also liked the penguins, who slid on the ice and splashed in the water. + +But when they got to the lions, they felt scared. The lions were huge and had sharp teeth and claws. They roared and growled and stared at the people. Lily and Sam held their mom and dad's hands tightly. + +"Are they going to eat us?" Sam whispered. + +"No, sweetie, they are not. They are behind a fence and they have their own food. They are just saying hello," mom said. + +"Hello, lions," Lily said bravely. + +But then, she stumbled on a rock and fell down. She started to cry. The lions roared louder and Lily cried harder. + +"Are you okay, honey?" dad asked, picking her up. + +"I hurt my knee," Lily said, showing him a small scratch. + +Dad kissed her knee and hugged her. "It's okay, it's just a little boo-boo. It will heal soon. You are very brave, Lily." + +Lily smiled and stopped crying. She looked at the lions again and waved. "Bye, lions. Sorry for stumbling." + +The lions stopped roaring and looked at her curiously. They seemed to understand. + +The guide smiled and said, "Well done, Lily. You are very polite. Do you want to see the elephants next?" + +Lily nodded and held her dad's hand. Sam held his mom's hand. They were still nervous, but also curious. They wanted to see more animals. They followed the guide to the next stop of the tour. +Lila and Ben like to play with chalk. They draw on the sidewalk with many colors. They make flowers, stars, and cars. They have fun. + +But then the sun gets very hot. It rises high in the sky. The sidewalk gets very dry. The chalk gets very dry too. It breaks and crumbles. Lila and Ben are sad. + +"Look, our chalk is gone!" Lila says. + +"What can we do?" Ben asks. + +They think for a moment. Then they have an idea. They run to the hose. They turn on the water. They spray the sidewalk with water. The water makes the chalk wet again. The colors come back. Lila and Ben are happy. + +"Look, our chalk is back!" Lila says. + +"Let's draw some more!" Ben says. + +They draw on the sidewalk with water and chalk. They make rainbows, hearts, and boats. They have fun. +One day, a boy named Ben saw a fox in his garden. He liked the fox and wanted to play with it. He ran inside and asked his mom, "Can I bring the fox inside?" + +His mom looked out the window and shook her head. "No, Ben, you can't bring the fox inside. The fox is wild and might bite you or make a mess. You can watch the fox from here, but don't go near it." + +Ben felt sad and bored. He did not want to watch the fox from the window. He wanted to touch the fox and hear it make noises. He thought the fox was cute and fun. He waited until his mom was busy in the kitchen and then he sneaked outside. + +He called to the fox, "Hey, fox, do you want to play with me? I have a ball and a rope and a bone. You can have the bone if you are nice to me." + +The fox heard Ben and turned around. It saw the boy and the things he had. It was curious and hungry. It came closer to Ben and sniffed the bone. Ben smiled and threw the bone for the fox to catch. The fox ran after the bone and brought it back to Ben. Ben and the fox played for a while and had fun. + +But then, Ben's mom came out and saw them. She was angry and scared. She yelled, "Ben, what are you doing? Get away from that fox right now! It could hurt you or give you germs. Come inside this instant!" + +Ben dropped the bone and ran to his mom. He was sorry and scared too. He said, "I'm sorry, mom, I just wanted to play with the fox. It was not boring like the window. The fox was nice to me and brought me the bone." + +His mom hugged him and said, "I know, Ben, but the fox is not a pet. It belongs to the wild. You can't play with it. It's dangerous and not good for you or the fox. Maybe we can find you a different friend to play with. How about a dog or a cat or a hamster?" + +Ben thought about it and nodded. He said, "OK, mom, I would like a dog or a cat or a hamster. But can I still watch the fox from the window sometimes?" + +His mom smiled and said, "Yes, Ben, you can watch the fox from the window sometimes. But remember, don't go near it or bring it inside. Just let it be a fox." +Lila and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to look for shells in the sand. They found many shells of different colors and shapes. Some were big, some were small, some were smooth, some were rough. + +"Look, Ben, I found a perfect shell!" Lila said, holding up a shiny pink shell. "It is so pretty and round. It has no cracks or holes. I want to keep it for myself." + +"Can I see it, Lila?" Ben asked. He liked the perfect shell too. He wanted to touch it and look at it. + +"No, Ben, it is mine!" Lila said. She pulled the shell away from Ben. "You have many shells already. This is the only perfect shell. Go find your own!" + +Ben felt sad and angry. He did not like how Lila was being selfish and mean. He thought she was his friend, but she did not want to share with him. He decided to get back at her. He waited until Lila was not looking, and then he grabbed the perfect shell from her hand. He ran away with it, laughing. + +"Hey, Ben, give me back my shell!" Lila shouted. She chased after Ben, but he was faster. He reached the water and threw the perfect shell into the sea. He watched it sink and disappear. + +"Ha, ha, now you have no perfect shell, Lila!" Ben said. He felt happy and proud. He had taught Lila a lesson. + +Lila stopped and stared at the water. She could not see her perfect shell anymore. She felt sad and angry. She had lost her favorite shell. She wished she had shared it with Ben. She realized she had been selfish and mean. She had lost her friend too. + +The moral of the story is: You should share what you have with others, and not be selfish and mean. If you are selfish and mean, you might lose what you have and make others unhappy. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide. Tom is scared. + +"Come on, Tom. It is fun!" Lily says. + +"No, Lily. It is too high. I will fall." Tom says. + +Lily goes on the slide. She slides down fast. She laughs. Tom watches her. + +"See, Tom? It is not scary. It is light and smooth." Lily says. + +Lily goes on the slide again. But this time, she slides too fast. She falls off the slide. She lands in a puddle of water. She is wet and cold. + +"Help, Tom! Help!" Lily cries. + +Tom runs to Lily. He helps her get up. He hugs her. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asks. + +"I am okay, Tom. But I am wet and cold. And the water is dirty." Lily says. + +"Let's go home, Lily. Mom will give us dry clothes and hot soup." Tom says. + +"Okay, Tom. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend." Lily says. + +They hold hands and walk home. They are happy. They learned that slides are fun, but sometimes they can make you fall. And that water can be nice, but sometimes it can be dirty. And that light can be bright, but sometimes it can be too fast. +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to sing and dance. They joined a group of children who performed at the park every week. The group had a teacher, Mr. Lee, who was elderly and kind. He taught them how to sing and dance well, and how to bow to the audience at the end. + +One day, the group had a big show at the park. Many people came to watch them. Tom and Anna were very excited and nervous. They wanted to do their best and make Mr. Lee proud. They sang and danced with their friends, and the audience clapped and cheered. + +When the show was over, Mr. Lee told them to bow to the audience. He said, "Bow to show your respect and gratitude. Bow to say thank you and goodbye." All the children bowed, except Tom and Anna. They were so happy and proud that they forgot to bow. They ran to Mr. Lee and hugged him, saying, "We did it, we did it!" + +Mr. Lee smiled, but he also looked sad. He said, "You did very well, my children. But you also made a mistake. You did not bow to the audience. That was rude and ungrateful. They came to see you and support you. They deserve your respect and gratitude. You should always bow to the audience, no matter how you feel." + +Tom and Anna felt ashamed and sorry. They realized their mistake and apologized to Mr. Lee. They said, "We are sorry, Mr. Lee. We were so happy and proud that we forgot to bow. We did not mean to be rude and ungrateful. We respect and thank the audience. Can we bow to them now?" + +Mr. Lee nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But remember, bowing is not just a gesture. It is a feeling. You have to feel respect and gratitude in your heart, and show it with your bow. That is the true meaning of bowing." + +Tom and Anna learned their lesson. They went back to the stage and bowed to the audience with their hearts. The audience clapped and cheered again, and Tom and Anna felt happy and proud, but also respectful and grateful. They thanked Mr. Lee for teaching them how to bow, and how to be good singers and dancers. +Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They liked the park. They saw many things. They saw trees and flowers and swings and slides. They also saw a pond with ducks. + +"Look, Mom, ducks!" Lily said. She ran to the pond. She wanted to feed the ducks. She had some bread in her hand. + +"Wait, Lily, be careful!" Mom said. "Don't go too close to the water. And don't throw the bread too hard. The ducks might get scared." + +But Lily did not listen. She was impatient. She wanted to see the ducks eat the bread. She threw the bread very hard. The bread hit a duck on the head. The duck was angry. It quacked loudly. It splashed water at Lily. Lily got wet and cold. She cried. + +"See, Lily, you should have listened to Mom," Tom said. He was older and wiser. He did not throw the bread. He broke it into small pieces and tossed it gently. The ducks liked him. They came closer and ate the bread. They quacked happily. Tom smiled. + +Mom hugged Lily and dried her with a towel. She said, "Lily, I know you love the ducks, but you have to be gentle and patient with them. They are living things, not toys. They have feelings, too. If you are nice to them, they will be nice to you. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, duck. I will be gentle and patient next time. Can I try again?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Of course, you can. But first, say sorry to Tom. He was a good brother. He shared his bread with you and the ducks." + +Lily said, "Sorry, Tom. Thank you for sharing. Can I have some bread, too?" + +Tom said, "Sure, Lily. Here you go. Let's feed the ducks together. But remember, be gentle and patient." + +Lily said, "OK, Tom. I will." + +They fed the ducks together. They had fun. The ducks had fun, too. Mom was proud of them. She said, "That's my good kids. I love you both." + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big truck with a loud motor. The truck was pink and had many flowers on it. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Ben said. "It is so pretty and noisy!" + +Lily nodded. She wanted to see the truck closer. She ran to the truck and waved at the driver. The driver smiled and whistled. He opened the door and said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like my truck?" + +"Yes, I do!" Lily said. "It is the best truck ever! Can I see inside?" + +The driver nodded. He helped Lily climb up to the seat. Lily saw many buttons, levers and lights. She felt like she was in a spaceship. + +Ben followed Lily. He also wanted to see the truck. He saw a big horn on the steering wheel. He pressed it and made a loud honk. The driver laughed and said, "You are a good honker, little boy. Do you want to hear my whistle?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben said. + +The driver pressed a button and made a long whistle. It sounded like a train. Lily and Ben clapped and cheered. They liked the whistle very much. + +The driver said, "You are very nice kids. Do you want a flower?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. The driver gave them each a pink flower. They thanked him and said goodbye. They ran back to their mom and showed her their flowers. + +"Look, mom, we met a nice truck driver!" Lily said. "He had a pink truck with a loud motor and a whistle!" + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That sounds like a fun adventure. I'm glad you made a new friend." +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to share everything. They had the same toys, the same clothes, and the same bed. But they did not like to share their pie. Pie was their favorite food, and they always wanted the biggest piece. + +One day, their mom made a big pie for them. She cut it into two equal parts and gave one to Lily and one to Sam. But Lily and Sam were not happy. They both thought their part was smaller than the other's. + +"That's not fair!" Lily said. "Your part is bigger than mine!" + +"No, it's not!" Sam said. "Your part is bigger than mine!" + +They started to argue and pull the pie. The pie was soft and sticky, and it began to break and fall on the floor. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You are making a mess! If you can't share the pie, I will separate it for you." + +She took a knife and cut each part into four smaller pieces. Then she gave two pieces to Lily and two pieces to Sam. + +"There, now you have the same amount of pie," she said. "Are you happy now?" + +Lily and Sam looked at their tiny pieces of pie. They felt sorry for wasting the big pie. They realized they had been silly and greedy. + +"Mom, we are sorry," Lily said. "We don't want to separate the pie. We want to share it." + +"Me too," Sam said. "Can we have the pie back together?" + +Their mom smiled and nodded. She put the pieces of pie back on a plate and pushed them together. The pie looked a bit messy, but it still smelled good. + +"Here you go," she said. "You can have the pie, but you have to promise to be nice to each other." + +Lily and Sam hugged their mom and thanked her. They took the plate and sat on the table. They cut the pie into two long slices and gave one to each other. + +"Here, you can have this long slice," Lily said. + +"Thank you, and you can have this long slice," Sam said. + +They smiled and ate their pie. They were happy to share and to have each other. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron with flowers on it. Mom wore a blue apron with stars on it. They were both unique and pretty. + +One day, they were making a cake for dad's birthday. Mom told Anna to trust her and follow her instructions. Anna nodded and smiled. She liked to learn new things. + +Mom showed Anna how to measure the flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. She let Anna pour them into a big bowl. Then she gave Anna a wooden spoon and told her to stir the mixture well. Anna stirred and stirred until the mixture was smooth and creamy. + +Mom poured the mixture into a round pan and put it in the oven. She set the timer and told Anna to wait patiently. Anna waited and waited. She smelled the cake baking. It smelled yummy. + +When the timer beeped, mom took the cake out of the oven. She let it cool down a bit. Then she put some frosting and sprinkles on top. She wrote "Happy Birthday Dad" with a red icing tube. She put a candle in the middle. + +Mom and Anna carried the cake to the living room. They saw dad sitting on the couch. He looked surprised and happy. He hugged mom and Anna and thanked them for the cake. He said it was the best cake ever. He said he was proud of Anna for helping mom. He said he loved them both very much. + +Anna felt happy and proud too. She trusted mom and learned how to make a cake. She made dad happy and gave him a unique gift. She loved mom and dad very much too. She blew out the candle with dad and wished for more happy days. +Lily and Ben like to pretend they are doctors. They have a lot of equipment to play with. They have a stethoscope, a thermometer, a bandage, and a syringe. They take turns to check each other's health. + +"Ben, you are my patient today. Lie down on the couch and let me listen to your heart," Lily says. She puts the stethoscope on Ben's chest and makes a serious face. "Hmm, your heart sounds good. But I need to check your temperature too." + +Lily puts the thermometer in Ben's mouth and waits for a few seconds. Then she looks at the numbers and nods. "You don't have a fever. That's good. But you have a scratch on your arm. I need to put a bandage on it." + +Lily takes the bandage and wraps it around Ben's arm. She makes sure it is not too tight or too loose. "There, that's better. The bandage is smooth and soft. It will help your scratch heal faster. But you also need a shot to prevent infection." + +Lily picks up the syringe and pretends to fill it with medicine. She holds it near Ben's arm and smiles. "Don't worry, Ben. This won't hurt. It will just pinch a little. Are you ready?" + +Ben nods bravely. He trusts Lily. He knows she is a good doctor. He closes his eyes and waits for the shot. He feels a gentle poke on his arm and opens his eyes. He sees Lily holding the syringe and giving him a sticker. "You did great, Ben. You are a very brave patient. Here is a sticker for you. It has a star on it. You are a star!" + +Ben smiles and hugs Lily. He thanks her for taking care of him. He likes to pretend he is a patient. He likes to play with Lily. They have a lot of fun with their equipment. They are good friends. +Lily and Tom were playing with their blocks on the floor. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses. But sometimes they knocked them down by accident or on purpose. + +"Oops!" Lily said, as she bumped into Tom's tower. It fell down and some blocks rolled away. "Sorry, Tom. I did not see it." + +Tom was not happy. He had worked hard on his tower. He frowned and said, "That's okay, Lily. But please be careful. I want to repair it." + +He started to pick up the blocks and put them back together. Lily wanted to help him, but she did not know where to put the blocks. She looked at Tom's tower and tried to copy it. + +But Tom did not like that. He said, "No, Lily. That's not right. You are making it different. That's my tower. You can make your own." + +Lily felt sad. She did not want to make Tom angry. She said, "But I want to play with you, Tom. Can we share the blocks?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He liked to play with Lily, too. He said, "Okay, Lily. We can share the blocks. But you have to be slow and careful. And you have to listen to me. I will show you how to repair it." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Okay, Tom. I will be slow and careful. And I will listen to you. Thank you for sharing the blocks." + +They worked together to repair the tower. They were slow and careful. They listened to each other. They had fun. They were happy. +Anna likes to help her mom in the garden. She likes to water the plants and watch them grow. One day, mom gives her a small plant in a pot. She says, "This is your plant, Anna. You can take care of it and see how big it gets." + +Anna is very happy. She puts the plant on the windowsill and waters it every day. She talks to the plant and sings to it. She thinks the plant is her friend. + +One morning, Anna notices that the plant is leaning to one side. She tries to lift the pot, but it is too heavy. She says, "Mom, why is the plant so heavy? Did it eat too much?" + +Mom laughs and comes to see. She says, "No, Anna, the plant did not eat too much. The plant is heavy because it has a lot of water in it. The water makes the plant weigh more. Do you know what weigh means?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She says, "Weigh means how heavy something is. Like when you weigh me on the scale and tell me how much I grow." + +Mom nods and says, "That's right, Anna. You are very smart. The plant weighs more when it has water, and less when it is dry. But we don't want the plant to be too dry or too wet. We want the plant to be just right. Then the plant will be happy and healthy." + +Anna says, "How do I know when the plant is just right?" + +Mom says, "You can check the soil with your finger. If the soil feels wet, you don't need to water the plant. If the soil feels dry, you can give the plant some water. But not too much, just a little. And you can also look at the leaves. If the leaves are green and calm, the plant is fine. If the leaves are yellow or brown or droopy, the plant is sad." + +Anna says, "I understand, mom. I will check the soil and the leaves every day. I want my plant to be green and calm and happy. Like me." + +Mom smiles and hugs Anna. She says, "I'm proud of you, Anna. You are a good gardener and a good friend to your plant." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big billboard near the park. The billboard has many colors and letters. Lily and Tom want to know what the billboard says. + +They ask a man who is walking by. The man is busy. He has a phone in his hand and a bag on his shoulder. He says, "Sorry, kids, I don't have time to read the billboard. I have to go to work." + +They ask a woman who is sitting on a bench. The woman is busy. She has a book in her lap and a hat on her head. She says, "Sorry, kids, I don't have time to read the billboard. I have to finish this chapter." + +They ask a dog who is running in the grass. The dog is not busy. He has a ball in his mouth and a tail on his back. He says, "Woof, woof, woof." Lily and Tom do not understand the dog. + +They are sad. They want to solve the mystery of the billboard. They sit on the ground and look at the billboard. They try to guess what the letters mean. + +Lily says, "Maybe it says, 'I love you.'" + +Tom says, "Maybe it says, 'Have fun.'" + +They smile at each other. They think they are smart. They are happy. They solve the mystery of the billboard. They hug the dog. The dog wags his tail. He is happy too. +Tommy loves his furry bear. He hugs it every night and takes it everywhere. One day, he goes to the park with his mom and his bear. He sees a big slide and wants to try it. + +"Can I go on the slide, mom?" he asks. + +"Sure, but be careful and hold your bear tight," his mom says. + +Tommy nods and runs to the slide. He climbs up the steps and sits on the top. He looks down and sees a lot of kids waiting for their turn. He feels a little scared, but he holds his bear and says, "We can do it, bear!" + +He slides down fast and lands on the ground. He laughs and feels happy. He looks at his bear and says, "That was fun, bear!" + +But then he sees a boy grab his bear and run away. He shouts, "Hey, that's my bear!" + +The boy does not listen. He runs to his mom and says, "Look, mom, I found a bear!" + +His mom looks at the bear and says, "That's not your bear, that's someone else's bear. You have to give it back." + +The boy says, "No, I want it. It's furry and soft." + +His mom says, "No, you can't keep it. That's not nice. You have to order sorry and give it back." + +The boy pouts and says, "Fine." He walks back to Tommy and says, "Here, take your bear. Sorry." + +Tommy takes his bear and hugs it. He says, "Thank you. It's okay. I'm glad you like my bear, but it's mine. Maybe you can get your own bear someday." + +The boy nods and says, "Maybe. Bye." + +Tommy waves and says, "Bye." He runs back to his mom and says, "Mom, I got my bear back!" + +His mom smiles and says, "I'm proud of you, Tommy. You were brave and kind. Do you want to go on the slide again?" + +Tommy says, "Yes, please. Come on, bear, let's go!" +Ben and Lily were playing in their room. They had a big sheet that they used to make a tent. They put the sheet over their bed and some chairs. They crawled inside and pretended they were camping. + +They had fun telling stories and playing with their toys. But then they heard Mom call them for dinner. They had to get out of the tent. Ben went first. He crawled to the edge of the sheet and tried to lift it. But it was stuck on a chair. He pulled and pulled, but it did not move. + +He decided to push the chair instead. He pushed hard with his hands and feet. He pushed so hard that the chair fell over. The sheet came loose and flew in the air. It landed on Ben's head. He could not see anything. He stumbled and bumped into the wall. + +Lily saw what happened and laughed. She thought it was funny. She crawled out of the tent and helped Ben. She took the sheet off his head. He was embarrassed. He felt silly and red. He did not like that Lily laughed at him. + +He said, "Don't laugh at me. It's not nice. It was an accident." + +Lily said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. You just looked funny with the sheet on your head. It was like a ghost." + +Ben said, "It's okay, Lily. I guess it was a little funny. But don't do it again." + +Lily said, "I won't, Ben. I love you. You're my brother." + +They hugged and smiled. They forgot about the sheet and the chair. They ran to the kitchen to have dinner. Mom was waiting for them. She asked them what they were playing. They told her about their tent. She said it sounded like fun. She was proud of them for being creative and kind. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big bunch of bananas on a bench. They are hungry and want to eat some. + +"Look, bananas!" Anna says. "Let's count them first. How many are there?" + +Ben points to the bananas and says, "One, two, three, four, five, six. Six bananas!" + +"Good job, Ben! You can count very well. Can I have one banana, please?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, Anna. You can have one. I can have one, too. And we can share the rest with our friends," Ben says. + +They peel the bananas and take a bite. They are sweet and yummy. They see their friends coming to the park. They wave and call them. + +"Hey, friends! Come here! We have bananas for you!" Anna and Ben say. + +Their friends run to them and see the bananas. They are happy and thank them. + +"Wow, thank you, Anna and Ben! You are very kind. Where did you find these bananas?" their friends ask. + +"We found them on that bench. Someone left them there. Maybe they forgot them," Anna and Ben say. + +They look at the bench and see a clear note. It says, "Enjoy the bananas. They are from my garden. Have a nice day!" + +They read the note and smile. They think the person who left the bananas is very nice, too. They eat the bananas and play together in the park. They have a lot of fun. +Tom and Jen were happy to go on a trip with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags with toys, books and clothes. They got in the car and drove for a long time. They saw many things on the road: trees, cows, cars, trucks, bridges and signs. + +They arrived at a big hotel. Mom and Dad checked in and got a key. They went to their room and opened the door. Tom and Jen ran inside and saw two beds, a TV, a table and a window. They wanted to unpack their bags and play with their toys. + +"Wait a minute, kids," Mom said. "We have to go to the restaurant and eat first. We are very hungry. You can unpack later." + +Tom and Jen did not want to go to the restaurant. They wanted to stay in the room and have fun. They did not listen to Mom. They opened their bags and took out their toys. They threw them on the bed, on the floor, on the table and on the window. They made a big mess. + +Mom and Dad came back from the restaurant. They had a menu in their hands. They wanted to order some food for the kids. They opened the door and saw the mess. They were very angry. + +"Tom and Jen, what have you done?" Dad yelled. "You have made a huge mess. You have not unpacked your bags. You have thrown your toys everywhere. You have broken the window. Look, there is a purple glass on the floor. You could have hurt yourself. You are very naughty. You have to clean up this mess right now. And you have to go to bed without dinner. No TV, no books, no toys for you tonight. You are in big trouble." + +Tom and Jen started to cry. They were very sorry. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had gone to the restaurant. They wished they had not made a mess. They wished they had not broken the window. They wished they had not seen the purple glass. They wished they had a good ending. But they did not. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the yard. They had many toys, like balls, cars, dolls and blocks. Sometimes they shared their toys, but sometimes they fought over them. + +One day, their mom told them to sort their toys and put them in the right boxes. She said she would give them a treat if they did a good job. Tom and Lily agreed and started to sort their toys. + +But soon they began to argue. Tom wanted to keep all the cars, and Lily wanted to keep all the dolls. They pulled and pushed and yelled at each other. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stop and be nice. + +The sun went down and the yard became dark. Tom and Lily were still fighting. They did not see the big dog that came into the yard. The dog was hungry and angry. It saw the twins and their toys and thought they were food. + +The dog ran towards them and barked loudly. Tom and Lily were scared and tried to run away. But they tripped over their toys and fell down. The dog bit them and hurt them badly. + +Their mom heard their screams and came out. She saw the dog and the twins and was shocked and sad. She called for help and tried to save them. But it was too late. Tom and Lily were gone. The dog had eaten them. Their mom cried and cried. She wished they had sorted their toys and listened to her. +Lila was a little girl who loved to draw. She had many crayons and papers and she made brilliant pictures of animals and flowers and stars. She wanted to show her pictures to her friends at school, but she was shy and scared. She thought they might laugh at her or say her pictures were bad. + +One day, she drew a picture of a big wolf with sharp teeth and yellow eyes. She liked the wolf, but she was also afraid of it. She hid the picture under her bed and went to sleep. But in the night, she had a bad dream. She dreamed that the wolf came out of the picture and chased her around the house. She ran and ran, but the wolf was faster and louder. She screamed and cried, but no one heard her. + +She woke up and saw that it was morning. She was still in her bed, and the wolf was still under it. She felt very brave and decided to face the wolf. She took the picture and looked at it. She saw that the wolf was not real, but only a drawing. She saw that she had made the wolf with her own crayons and paper. She saw that the wolf was brilliant, because she was brilliant. + +She smiled and took the picture to school. She showed it to her friends and teacher. They all liked the picture and praised her. They said she was a good artist and a brave girl. They asked her to draw more pictures and share them. Lila felt happy and proud. She had succeeded in overcoming her fear and showing her talent. She had made a new friend: the wolf. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a sharp pencil on the floor. Lily had an idea. She said, "Let's make a joke with this pencil. We can put it on Sam's chair and he will sit on it and say ouch!" + +Ben thought it was funny, so he agreed. They waited for Sam to come back from the bathroom. When Sam came back, he did not see the pencil on his chair. He sat down and felt a pain in his bottom. He jumped up and cried, "Ow! Ow! Ow! What is this?" + +Lily and Ben laughed and said, "It's a joke! It's a joke! We put a sharp pencil on your chair!" + +Sam was very angry and sad. He said, "That's not a joke! That's terrible! You hurt me with the sharp pencil! You are not my friends!" + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They realized they had done a bad thing. They said, "We're sorry, Sam. We did not mean to hurt you. We thought it was funny, but it was not. It was mean and dangerous. Please forgive us." + +Sam was still hurt, but he saw that Lily and Ben were sorry. He said, "OK, I forgive you. But don't do that again. Jokes should be fun, not hurtful. And sharp things are not for playing. They can cut you or someone else. Be careful with them." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "You're right, Sam. We learned our lesson. We will be more careful and kind. Can we still be friends?" + +Sam smiled and said, "Yes, we can still be friends. But next time, let's play with something else. Maybe we can draw with the pencil, or make a paper plane, or sing a song. That would be more fun." + +Lily and Ben agreed and hugged Sam. They said, "Yes, that would be more fun. We're sorry, Sam. We love you." + +The end. + +Moral: Don't hurt others with sharp things or mean jokes. Be kind and careful. +Anna likes her bedroom. It is colorful and has many toys. She has a big bed with a pink blanket and a teddy bear. She also has a shelf with books and a lamp. + +One night, Anna hears a noise in her bedroom. She is scared and hugs her teddy bear. She thinks there is a monster under her bed. She wants to call her mom, but she is too afraid to make a sound. + +She sees a shadow on the wall. It looks like a big, hairy creature with sharp teeth and claws. Anna closes her eyes and hopes it will go away. + +But then, she hears a voice. It is not a scary voice, but a friendly one. It says, "Hello, Anna. I am not a monster. I am your friend. Can I play with you?" + +Anna opens her eyes and looks at the shadow. It is not a monster, but a puppet. It is colorful and has a funny face. It is holding a string that goes to the lamp. Anna realizes that someone is making the shadow with the puppet and the lamp. + +She looks at the door and sees her brother. He is smiling and holding another puppet. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I wanted to surprise you and make you laugh. I didn't mean to scare you." + +Anna is not scared anymore. She is angry and says, "That was not funny, Tom. That was mean. You made me think there was a monster in my bedroom. Go away and leave me alone." + +Tom feels bad and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I love you. Can I give you a hug and say good night?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She loves her brother too, but he needs to learn a lesson. She says, "OK, Tom. You can give me a hug and say good night. But tomorrow, you have to let me play with your puppets and make a show for you. And you have to laugh, even if it is not funny." + +Tom agrees and says, "OK, Anna. That sounds fair. I'm sorry again. Good night, Anna. Good night, teddy bear. Good night, colorful puppet." + +He gives Anna a hug and turns off the lamp. He leaves the puppets on the shelf and goes to his bedroom. + +Anna smiles and says, "Good night, Tom. Good night, teddy bear. Good night, colorful puppet. Thank you for being my friend." + +She cuddles with her teddy bear and falls asleep. She dreams of colorful puppets and funny shadows. She is happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and eat together. One day, they go to the park with Mom. Mom says they can have a treat after they play. + +They see a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. They run to the truck and ask for ice cream. The man in the truck smiles and says, "What flavor do you want? I have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and more." + +Lily says, "I want chocolate. Chocolate is yummy." Ben says, "I want strawberry. Strawberry is yummy too." The man gives them each a cone with ice cream. They say thank you and lick their ice cream. + +But the sun is very hot. The ice cream starts to melt. It drips on their hands and faces. They feel sticky and messy. They look for a place to sit and wipe their ice cream. + +They see a bench under a big tree. The tree has green leaves and red apples. They walk to the bench and sit down. They see a boy and a girl on the bench. The boy and the girl have apples in their hands. They bite their apples and smile. + +The boy says, "Hi, I'm Tom. This is my sister, Sue. Do you want to share our apples? They are fresh and crunchy. We picked them from the tree." + +The girl says, "Yes, we have plenty of apples. They are good for you. They are not hot and sticky like ice cream." + +Lily and Ben look at their ice cream. They look at the apples. They think the apples look good. They say, "OK, we will share our ice cream and your apples. Thank you for being nice." + +They give some of their ice cream to Tom and Sue. They take some of their apples. They taste each other's treats. They like them both. They say, "Yummy!" + +They talk and laugh and eat. They become friends. They recommend their treats to each other. They say, "Ice cream is yummy, but it melts in the sun. Apples are yummy, but they are hard to bite. Both are good, but different. We like to try new things." + +Mom comes to the bench. She sees them having fun. She says, "I'm glad you made new friends. And I'm glad you shared your treats. Sharing is caring. Now let's go home and wash your faces. You are all very sweet." +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for worms. They also liked to pick some flowers and make a bouquet for their mom. + +One day, they saw a big bush with purple fruits on it. They were curious and wanted to try them. + +"Look, Ben, what are those?" Lily asked, pointing at the bush. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe they are grapes?" Ben guessed. + +They walked closer to the bush and reached for the fruits. They were soft and wrinkled, and had a funny smell. + +"Yuck, these are not grapes. They are prunes!" Lily said, making a face. + +"What are prunes?" Ben asked. + +"They are old plums that have no juice. Mom sometimes puts them in the oatmeal. I don't like them," Lily said. + +"Me neither. Let's go find something else to eat," Ben said. + +They turned around and saw a big dog running towards them. It was barking loudly and showing its teeth. Lily and Ben were scared and did not know what to do. + +They started to tremble and cry. They wished their mom was there to help them. + +"Help, help, mom!" they shouted. + +The dog was almost near them when they heard another bark. It was their own dog, Spot, who had heard their cries. Spot was a reliable dog who always protected them. He ran to the big dog and chased it away. + +Lily and Ben were relieved and happy. They hugged Spot and thanked him. + +"Good boy, Spot, you saved us!" they said. + +They ran back to the house and told their mom what had happened. She was glad they were safe and gave them a hug and a cookie. + +They decided to stay away from the prune bush and the big dog, and to play with Spot instead. He was their best friend. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, where they could see the landscape. The landscape had green grass, blue sky, white clouds, and yellow flowers. Sometimes they saw birds, dogs, and cats too. + +One day, they found a rare thing in the park. It was a shiny stone, with many colors. It looked like a rainbow. Lily and Ben were very happy. They wanted to keep the stone. + +"Can I have the stone?" Lily asked. + +"No, I want the stone," Ben said. + +They both pulled the stone, but it was too hard. They started to cry. + +A lady saw them and came to help. She was kind and smiled. + +"Why are you crying, children?" she asked. + +"We both want the stone, but we can't share it," Lily said. + +The lady looked at the stone and said, "This is a very rare and beautiful stone. It is a gift from nature. Do you know what nature is?" + +Lily and Ben shook their heads. + +"Nature is everything that is not made by people. The landscape, the animals, the plants, the sun, the moon, the stars. Nature gives us many things to enjoy and to learn from. But nature also wants us to be kind and to share with others. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. + +"So, if you want to keep the stone, you have to do something for nature. You have to kiss each other and say sorry," the lady said. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt shy, but they also felt sorry. They wanted to be friends again. They leaned forward and gave each other a small kiss on the cheek. Then they said, "Sorry." + +The lady smiled and said, "Very good. Now you can keep the stone, but you have to promise to share it and to take good care of it. And you have to thank nature for this gift." + +Lily and Ben hugged the stone and said, "Thank you, nature." + +The lady said, "You're welcome, children. Now go and play, and enjoy the landscape." + +Lily and Ben ran to the swings, holding the stone. They felt happy and grateful. They had learned a lesson from nature. And they had given each other their first kiss. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green lizard on a rock. It had a long tail and shiny eyes. + +"Wow, look at that lizard!" Max said. He was eager to touch it. He ran towards the rock. + +"Shh, be quiet!" Lily whispered. She was afraid the lizard would run away. She followed Max slowly. + +The lizard saw the children. It did not like them. It opened its mouth and hissed. It showed its sharp teeth. + +"Ah, it's scary!" Max said. He stopped and backed away. + +"It's okay, it's just a lizard. It won't hurt you," Lily said. She tried to be brave. She reached out her hand to the lizard. + +The lizard did not like Lily's hand. It bit her finger. It hurt a lot. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She pulled back her hand. She saw blood on her finger. + +"Are you okay?" Max asked. He felt sorry for Lily. He hugged her. + +The lizard did not like the hug. It jumped off the rock and ran away. It hid under a bush. + +Lily and Max ran back to the house. They told their mom what happened. She cleaned Lily's finger and put a band-aid on it. + +"Don't touch lizards, they are not nice," mom said. She gave them cookies and milk. + +Lily and Max learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. They liked to look for bugs and flowers, but not lizards. +Tom and Lily are playing with their cars on the floor. They like to make them zoom and crash and beep. Tom has a red car and Lily has a blue car. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Tom says, making his car go fast. "My car is the best, it can zoom faster than yours!" + +"No, no, no!" Lily says, making her car catch up. "My car is the best, it can zoom smoother than yours!" + +They zoom their cars around the room, trying to out-zoom each other. They have fun, but they also make a lot of noise. + +"Tom, Lily, mind your noise, please!" Mom says, coming in. "It is time for your nap, and you are too loud. You will wake up the baby." + +Tom and Lily look at Mom, then at each other. They do not want to nap, they want to play. But they also do not want to wake up the baby. The baby is their little brother, and they love him. + +"OK, Mom, we will mind our noise," Tom says, in a mild voice. "We will play quietly, or read a book, or draw a picture." + +"OK, Mom, we will mind our noise," Lily says, in a mild voice. "We will be good, and not zoom too much, or crash, or beep." + +Mom smiles and gives them a hug. She is proud of them for being kind and gentle. She tells them they can play for a little while longer, but then they have to nap. She leaves the room and closes the door. + +Tom and Lily look at their cars, then at each other. They still want to zoom, but they also want to mind their noise. They have an idea. + +They grab a blanket and make a tent under the table. They crawl inside with their cars. They zoom their cars softly, whispering and giggling. They have fun, but they also mind their noise. They do not wake up the baby. They are happy. +Lila and Tom are hungry. They want to eat pasta for lunch. They ask Mom to cook pasta for them. + +Mom says, "Okay, I will make pasta for you. But you have to help me. Can you ring the bell for me?" + +Lila and Tom nod. They run to the bell. The bell is big and shiny. It hangs on the wall. Lila and Tom take turns to pull the rope. The bell makes a loud sound. Ding dong, ding dong! + +Mom hears the bell. She smiles. She says, "Good job, Lila and Tom! You are mighty helpers. The bell tells me that the water is boiling. Now I can put the pasta in the pot." + +Lila and Tom clap. They are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mom! We love pasta. We love you too." + +Mom hugs them. She says, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I love you too. Now let's wait for the pasta to cook. When it's ready, I will ring the bell again. Then we can eat together." +Lily was very happy. She got an invitation from her friend Ben. Ben was having a birthday party. He invited Lily and other friends to his house. Lily wanted to give Ben a present. She thought hard. What did Ben like? + +Lily remembered that Ben liked to play with blocks. He liked to build towers and bridges and castles. Lily had an idea. She could make a block for Ben. A special block with his name on it. Lily asked her mom for help. + +"Mom, can you help me make a block for Ben?" Lily said. + +"Sure, Lily. That is a very kind idea. What do we need?" Mom said. + +"We need wood and paint and a saw and a ruler," Lily said. + +"Okay, let's go to the garage and find those things," Mom said. + +Mom and Lily went to the garage. They found a piece of wood. Mom used the saw to cut it into a square. Lily used the ruler to measure the sides. She wanted the block to be even. + +"Good job, Lily. You are measuring very well," Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom. Now can we paint the block?" Lily said. + +"Yes, we can. What color do you want to use?" Mom said. + +"Ben likes blue. Let's use blue paint," Lily said. + +Mom and Lily painted the block blue. They waited for it to dry. Then they used a marker to write Ben's name on the block. Lily was very proud of her present. + +"Look, Mom. It is done. It is a block for Ben," Lily said. + +"It is beautiful, Lily. Ben will love it. You are a very kind friend," Mom said. + +Lily hugged Mom. She was very excited. She could not wait to go to Ben's party and give him her present. She hoped he would like it. She hoped they would have fun. She hoped they would play with blocks. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with cards. They had many cards with animals, colors, and shapes on them. They liked to make piles of cards that matched and show them to their mom and dad. + +One day, they had a big fight over the cards. Ben wanted to use all the blue cards, but Lily wanted some too. They both pulled and tugged at the cards, and soon they were all over the floor. Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. + +"Ben, Lily, why are you fighting?" mom asked. "You have so many cards, you can share them." + +"But I want all the blue cards!" Ben said. + +"And I want some too!" Lily said. + +Mom and dad looked at each other and had an idea. They picked up all the cards and mixed them up. Then they gave each twin a small box. + +"Here, Ben and Lily, you can each have your own box of cards. But there is a catch. You can only keep the cards that you can settle with your twin. That means you have to agree on who gets what card. If you can't settle, you have to give the card back to us. Do you understand?" dad said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They liked the idea of having their own box of cards. They started to look at the cards and try to settle with each other. + +"Can I have this card with the lion?" Ben asked. + +"OK, you can have the lion, but I want the card with the flower," Lily said. + +"Deal," Ben said. + +They went on like this, settling with each other and filling their boxes with cards. Sometimes they had to give back a card to mom and dad, but they learned to compromise and be fair. They also had fun talking about the cards and what they liked about them. + +Soon, they had settled all the cards and had two boxes full of cards. They were happy and proud of themselves. They showed their boxes to mom and dad and thanked them for the game. + +Mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They were glad that Ben and Lily had learned to settle their differences and share their cards. They told them that settling is a good skill to have, because it helps them get along with others and avoid fights. They also told them that sharing is a kind way to show that they care about each other. + +Ben and Lily agreed. They decided to play with their cards together and make more piles of cards that matched. They also decided to let mom and dad join them and have some fun too. They realized that settling and sharing made them happier than fighting and feeling helpless. They learned a valuable lesson that day. +Ben and Mia were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. But Ben wanted to build a big castle, and Mia wanted to build a small zoo. They did not agree. + +"Why do you want a zoo?" Ben questioned Mia. "Castles are better. They have kings and queens and knights." + +"I like zoos," Mia said. "They have animals and trees and flowers. They are pretty and fun." + +Ben and Mia started to argue. They did not want to share their blocks. They wanted to build their own things. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +Then, something bad happened. Ben was so angry that he kicked Mia's zoo. He made it fall down. Mia was so sad that she threw a block at Ben's castle. She made it break. The blocks flew everywhere. + +But one block hit Ben in the head. He cried out loud. He felt a lot of pain. He was bleeding. Mia was scared. She did not mean to hurt Ben. She ran to get their mom. + +Mom came and saw the mess. She saw Ben's wound. She was very mad. She took Ben to the doctor. She told Mia to stay in her room. She said they were both clumsy and naughty. She said they could not play with blocks anymore. + +Ben and Mia felt sorry. They wished they did not fight. They wished they did not ruin their blocks. They wished they did not hurt each other. They learned a hard lesson. They lost their fun. They lost their friend. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big box of crayons on the grass. They run to the box and open it. There are many colors inside. + +"Wow, look at all the crayons!" Lily says. "Let's draw something!" + +"OK, what do you want to draw?" Sam asks. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes flowers. She picks a pink crayon and starts to draw a flower on the sidewalk. + +"I want to draw a car!" Sam says. He picks a blue crayon and draws a car next to Lily's flower. + +They are having fun. They draw more things with the crayons. They draw a sun, a house, a dog, and a tree. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a big truck. The truck is coming to the sidewalk. The truck is dirty and smelly. + +"Oh no, the truck is going to ruin our drawings!" Lily cries. + +"Quick, let's jog away!" Sam says. + +They grab their crayons and jog away from the truck. They find a safe place to hide. They watch as the truck drives over their drawings. The truck makes their drawings dirty and messy. + +They are sad. They worked hard on their drawings. They liked their drawings. + +"Look, the truck is gone!" Lily says. + +"Maybe we can draw again," Sam says. + +They go back to the sidewalk. They see their drawings. They are not pretty anymore. They are dirty and smudged. + +But then, they see something. The truck left some tire marks on the sidewalk. The tire marks are black and curvy. + +"Hey, look at that!" Lily says. "The truck made some drawings too!" + +"Yeah, you're right!" Sam says. "They look like snakes!" + +They laugh. They are not sad anymore. They think the tire marks are funny. They use their crayons to add eyes and tongues to the tire marks. They make the tire marks look like silly snakes. + +They are happy. They have new drawings. They like their new drawings. They keep playing with the crayons. They are friends. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a secret spot behind a big tree, where they hid their toys and snacks. One day, they saw a new gate in the park. It was shiny and red, and had a sign that said "Keep Out". + +"Let's go see what's behind the gate," Tom said. He was curious and brave. + +"No, we can't," Lily said. She was careful and scared. "The sign says we have to stay away. Maybe there is something bad there." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran to the gate and tried to open it. It was locked. He looked for a hole or a crack, but he could not find any. He was frustrated and angry. + +"Come on, Lily, help me," he said. "We can manage to get in. Maybe there is something fun there. Maybe there are more toys or snacks." + +Lily did not want to help Tom. She wanted to go back to their secret spot. She thought the gate was cheap and ugly. She did not like it. + +"Tom, stop it," she said. "We have to go. It's getting dark. And maybe someone will see us and get mad. Let's go back to our tree." + +Tom did not want to go back. He wanted to see what was behind the gate. He had an idea. He saw a big rock near the gate. He picked it up and threw it at the gate. He hoped it would break the lock. + +But the rock did not break the lock. It bounced back and hit Tom on the head. He fell down and cried. He was hurt and sorry. + +Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She was worried and sad. + +"Tom, are you okay?" she said. "I told you not to do that. The gate was too strong. You were silly and naughty." + +Tom nodded and said, "I know, I know. I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. The gate was bad. I was wrong. Let's go back to our tree." + +Lily helped Tom get up and they walked back to their secret spot. They left the gate alone. They never tried to go there again. They learned their lesson. They were happy and safe. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to ride bikes in the park. One day, they see a big bunch of grapes on a tree. They want to eat the grapes. They are hungry and the grapes look sweet. + +"Let's get the grapes!" Tom says. He rides his bike to the tree. He tries to reach the grapes, but they are too high. He stands on his bike and stretches his arms. He still cannot get the grapes. + +"Let me try!" Sam says. He rides his bike to the tree. He is taller than Tom. He stands on his bike and grabs the grapes. He pulls hard, but the grapes do not come off. He pulls harder, but the grapes are stuck. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" A voice says. Tom and Sam look down. They see a man. He is angry. He has a hat and a basket. He is the owner of the grapes. He grows the grapes for his shop. + +"Those are my grapes!" The man says. "You are foolish boys! You cannot take my grapes! They are not for you! They are for my customers! Go away!" + +Tom and Sam are scared. They drop their bikes and run away. They do not eat the grapes. They do not ride their bikes. They are sorry. They learn a lesson. They do not steal grapes again. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with their scooters in the park. Lily has a pink scooter and Max has a blue scooter. They zoom around the grass and the trees. + +One day, they see a big scale in the park. It is for weighing people and things. Lily and Max are curious. They want to know how much they weigh. + +"Let's weigh ourselves!" Lily says. She rides her scooter to the scale and steps on it. The scale shows a number. "I weigh twenty!" Lily says. She is happy. + +Max rides his scooter to the scale and steps on it. The scale shows a bigger number. "I weigh twenty-five!" Max says. He is proud. + +They weigh their scooters too. Lily's scooter is lighter than Max's scooter. "My scooter is clean and shiny!" Lily says. She wipes her scooter with a cloth. + +Max's scooter is dirtier than Lily's scooter. It has mud and grass on it. "My scooter is fast and fun!" Max says. He does not care about the dirt. + +They laugh and hug. They do not mind that their scooters are different. They are still friends. They ride their scooters together again. They have a lot of fun. +Jill and Jack are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big jug on the table. It is full of juice. They are thirsty. + +"Can we have some juice?" Jill asks. + +"Wait for Mommy," Jack says. "She will give us cups." + +But Jill does not want to wait. She grabs the jug and tries to pour some juice. But the jug is too heavy. She drops it on the floor. The juice spills everywhere. The jug breaks into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Jill cries. "What have I done?" + +Mommy hears the noise and comes to the garden. She sees the mess. She is angry. + +"Who did this?" Mommy asks. + +Jill is scared. She wants to hide. But Jack is brave. He tells the truth. + +"It was Jill," Jack says. "She did not listen to me. She wanted the juice." + +Mommy looks at Jill. Jill feels sorry. She says sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy," Jill says. "I was greedy. I did not think." + +Mommy is still angry, but she is also sad. She loves Jill and Jack. She wants them to be good. + +"Jill, you made a mistake," Mommy says.

They found some glue and a brush and carefully put the pieces back together. + +The ashtray was not as shiny and smooth as before, but it looked like a whole ashtray again. Sara gave it to her aunt and said she was very sorry and she loved her. Her aunt hugged her and said she forgave her and she loved her too. She said the ashtray was still special and precious, because it reminded her of her grandma and Sara. + +Sara learned a lesson. She learned to respect other people's things and not to be nosy. She learned to say sorry and to fix her mistakes. She learned to be kind and honest. She was happy and proud. +Ben and Mia like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and pretend to drive their cars on them. + +One day, they see a new sign on the wall. It is red and white and has a word on it. The word is "yield". Ben and Mia do not know what it means. They ask their mom. + +Mom says, "Yield means to let someone else go first. When you see this sign, you have to stop and wait for the other cars to pass. Then you can go. It is a way of being nice and safe." + +Ben and Mia nod. They think it is a good rule. They go back to their play and put the sign on one of their bridges. They take turns to yield to each other and say "thank you" and "you're welcome". + +But then, Sam comes to visit. Sam is their cousin. He is naughty. He does not like to share or follow rules.

They tell Sam to stop and give back the car. They tell him to yield and be nice. But Sam does not listen. He laughs and pushes their cars off the bridge. He says, "I do not yield to anyone. I am the boss of this play." + +Ben and Mia cry. They run to their mom and tell her what Sam did. Mom is not happy. She goes to Sam and scolds him. She says, "Sam, you are being very naughty.

It had many windows and a shiny car. + +"Wow, look at that house!" Lily said. "I want to live there. It is so pretty and big." + +Tom shook his head. "No, you don't. That house belongs to a wealthy man. He is mean and greedy. He does not share his toys or his candy. He only cares about himself." + +Lily did not believe Tom. She wanted to see the house for herself. She ran towards the hill, leaving Tom behind. She climbed over the fence and ran across the lawn. + +"Hey, you! Stop!" a voice shouted. It was the wealthy man. He saw Lily on his property and he was angry. He ran after her, waving his arms. + +Lily was scared. She turned around and tried to run back to the fence. But she tripped on a rock and fell to the ground. She scraped her knee and it hurt. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. She looked up and saw the wealthy man standing over her. He had a mean face and a big stick. + +"What are you doing here, you little brat?" he yelled. "This is my land, my house, my car. You have no right to be here. You are trespassing. I will teach you a lesson." + +He raised his stick and was about to hit Lily. But then he heard another voice. + +"Leave her alone!" Tom shouted. He had followed Lily to the hill. He saw the wealthy man and he was brave. He picked up a stone and threw it at the wealthy man. It hit him on the head and he dropped his stick. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. He held his head and glared at Tom. + +"You little pest!" he said. "How dare you throw a stone at me? I will call the police. I will sue you. I will make you pay." + +He reached for his phone in his pocket. But then he heard a siren. It was a police car. It had seen the commotion and it came to the hill. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" a police officer said. He got out of the car and walked to the scene. He saw Lily on the ground, Tom with a stone, and the wealthy man with a stick. + +"What is going on here?" he asked. He looked at the wealthy man and recognized him. He was a bad man. He had cheated many people and broken many laws. He had a warrant for his arrest. + +"You are under arrest," the police officer said. He handcuffed the wealthy man and put him in the car. + +"Are you okay, kids?" he asked Lily and Tom. He helped Lily up and checked her knee. It was not serious. He gave her a band-aid and a hug. + +"Thank you, officer," Lily said. She was sorry for running to the house. She realized that Tom was right. The wealthy man was mean and greedy. He did not have any friends or happiness. He only had money and trouble. + +"Thank you, Tom," she said. She hugged Tom and apologized for leaving him. She realized that Tom was her true friend. He cared about her and protected her. He was brave and kind. + +"Let's go back to the park," Tom said. He smiled and took Lily's hand. They walked back to the fence and climbed over it. + +They did not want to live in the big house on the hill. They wanted to play in the park.

It sounds angry. + +Tom is scared. He says to Sam, "Let's run away. The dog is big and mean. It can hurt us." + +Sam is not scared. He says to Tom, "No, let's speak to the dog. Maybe the dog is nice. Maybe the dog wants to play with us." + +Tom says, "No, Sam, don't do it. The dog is not nice. The dog is bad. Listen to the sound. The sound is not happy. The sound is scary." + +But Sam does not listen to Tom. He walks to the dog. He says, "Hello, dog. What is your name? Do you want to be my friend?" + +The dog does not answer. The dog does not want to be Sam's friend. The dog is hungry. The dog jumps on Sam. The dog bites Sam. Sam screams. Tom runs to help Sam. But it is too late. The dog hurts Sam a lot. Sam is bleeding. Sam is crying. + +Tom is sad. He says, "Sam, why did you not listen to me? I told you the dog is big and mean. I told you the dog can hurt us. Why did you speak to the dog?" + +Sam is sorry. He says, "Tom, I am sorry. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I should not have spoken to the dog. I was foolish. I learned a lesson. The lesson is: do not speak to strangers. Especially if they make a loud and angry sound." + +The moral of the story is: do not speak to strangers. Especially if they make a loud and angry sound. +Mia and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and cushions to make forts and castles.

Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. + +"Mia and Ben, what have you done?" mom asked. "You spoiled the new cushion. It was a gift for both of you to share and enjoy. But you were selfish and greedy and ruined it. Now no one can have it. How do you feel?" + +Mia and Ben felt very bad. They looked at the broken cushion and the mess they made.

She said she was glad they learned their lesson. She said she loved them very much and hoped they would be good twins. She said she had another surprise for them.

They learned that sharing was more fun than fighting. +Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with their toy planes and pretend they were pilots. They made zoom and vroom sounds as they flew their planes around the room. + +One day, they decided to go outside and fly their planes in the sky. They ran to the exit and opened the door.

I should have been more humble." + +Tom hugged Mia. "It's okay, Mia. It's not your fault. I was trying to show off too. I should have been more humble too." + +They smiled and wiped their tears. "We can fix our planes, right?" Mia said. + +"Sure, we can. And we can still be pilots, right?" Tom said. + +"Of course, we can. And we can still be best friends, right?" Mia said. + +"Always, we can. Come on, let's go home and get some glue." Tom said. + +They held hands and walked to the exit. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be humble and to share the sky. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big hole in the ground.

You are my best friend. I can hear you in my heart, and I can speak to you in your mind. You don't need a button, because you have a gift. You can make any doll speak, if you believe in them." + +Anna was shocked and happy. She could not believe her ears. She asked Lily how this was possible. Lily said, "It's magic, Anna. You have magic in you. You are a special girl. And I am a special doll. We were meant to be together." + +Anna smiled and said, "You are right, Lily. We are special. We are magic. And we are together." She hugged Lily again and said, "Thank you, Lily. Thank you for speaking to me." + +The end. +Sam liked to help his mom in the kitchen. He wanted to learn how to cook.

Sam felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to help you. I wanted to cut the onion like you." Mom sighed. She said, "Sam, I appreciate your help. But you have to follow the rules. The knife is not a toy. It is dangerous. You have to wait until you are older and I can teach you how to use it safely. Do you understand?" Sam nodded. He said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I love you." Mom hugged him. She said, "I love you too, Sam. But don't ever do that again. Come on, let's clean your wound and put a band-aid on it." Sam followed mom to the bathroom.

He had saved his engine. + +He got out of the water and looked at the boy. The boy was scared and sorry. He had been mean and greedy. He did not want to lose Bobby's engine. + +"I'm sorry, Bobby," the boy said. "I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" + +Bobby thought for a moment. He was still angry, but he was also kind. He knew how it felt to lose something you love. + +"It's okay," Bobby said. "But don't do it again. And don't take things that are not yours." + +The boy nodded and smiled. He had learned his lesson. He and Bobby became friends. They played together with the engine and had fun. Bobby's mom was proud of him. He had been brave and generous. He and his engine were happy. +Lily likes to read books. She has many books on her table. She reads about animals, cars, princesses and pirates. She reads every day. + +One day, Lily smells something smelly. She looks around. She sees a big pile of dirty socks under her bed. She says, "Ew, what is that? It is very smelly!" + +She hears a voice from under the bed. It is her brother Tom. He says, "Hi, Lily. I am hiding here. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily says, "No, Tom. You are very naughty. You make my room smelly. You need to wash your socks. And you need to read books too. Books are fun and good for you." + +Tom says, "But I don't like to read books. I like to play games and make noise. Books are boring and quiet." + +Lily says, "No, Tom. Books are not boring. Books are exciting and funny. They take you to different places and teach you new things. Come, I will show you. I have a book about pirates. You like pirates, right?" + +Tom says, "Yes, I like pirates. They have swords and hats and ships. OK, I will come and see your book. But first, I will take my socks and put them in the laundry. I don't want to be smelly anymore." + +Lily says, "Good, Tom. That is a smart thing to do. Then we can read the book together. And maybe we can play pirates too. But not too loud. We don't want to bother Mom and Dad." + +Tom says, "OK, Lily. You are a nice sister. I am sorry for making your room smelly. Let's go and read the book. And then we can play pirates. But not too loud. We want to be good kids." + +Lily and Tom go to the table and pick up the book. They sit down and read the book. They see pictures of pirates and words they can read. They laugh and learn and have fun. They are happy. +Lila and Ben were friends. They liked to play with ropes and make knots. One day, they found a big rope in the park. It was long and thick and had many knots. + +"Can I play with the rope?" Lila asked Ben. + +"Sure, you can lend it for a while. But be careful, it is heavy and hard to untie," Ben said. + +Lila took the rope and ran to a tree. She wanted to swing from the rope like a monkey. She tied one end of the rope to a branch and held the other end in her hand. She jumped and swung in the air. She felt happy and free. + +But then, something bad happened. The rope slipped from her hand and wrapped around her leg. She was stuck in the air, hanging from the tree. She tried to untie the knot, but it was too tight and too hard. She started to cry. + +"Help! Help!" she shouted. + +Ben heard her and ran to the tree. He saw Lila in trouble and felt sorry for her. He climbed the tree and reached the rope. He used his teeth and his fingers to loosen the knot. He freed Lila and helped her down. + +"Are you okay?" he asked. + +"I'm okay, thank you. You are a good friend," Lila said. + +"I'm glad you are okay. But you were foolish to swing from the rope. You could have hurt yourself," Ben said. + +"I know, I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Can I still lend the rope?" Lila asked. + +Ben smiled and shook his head. + +"No, you can't. I think we should put the rope back where we found it. Maybe it belongs to someone else. And maybe we should play with something else. How about a ball?" he suggested. + +Lila nodded and agreed. + +"Okay, let's play with a ball. But can you teach me how to make knots? I want to learn," she said. + +Ben nodded and agreed. + +"Okay, I'll teach you how to make knots. But only simple ones. And only on the ground. Deal?" he said. + +Lila nodded and said, "Deal." + +They put the rope back and took a ball. They played and laughed and learned. They were happy and safe. They were friends. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make roads and bridges with sticks and stones. They also liked to scatter some sand and dirt to make the landscape look more real. + +But one day, a big dog came into the garden. It was not their dog. It was a dog from the street. It had black fur and sharp teeth. It barked loudly and ran towards them. + +Lily and Tom were very nervous. They did not know what the dog wanted. They grabbed their toy cars and ran to the house. But the dog was faster. It reached the sand and dirt and started to dig and scratch. It ruined their roads and bridges. It threw the sticks and stones in the air. + +Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They shouted at the dog to go away. But the dog did not listen. It kept digging and scratching. It did not care about their toy cars. + +Then, they heard a whistle. It was the dog's owner. He was looking for his dog. He saw the mess in the garden and the scared children. He apologized and called his dog. The dog stopped digging and scratching. It ran to its owner and wagged its tail. + +Lily and Tom were relieved. They watched the dog and its owner leave. They hoped they would not come back. They looked at their ruined landscape and sighed. They decided to start again. They picked up their toy cars and went to find some new sticks and stones. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park when they saw a big dog. The dog was filthy and had no collar. It barked and ran towards them. + +"Help!" Anna cried. "The dog is scary!" + +Ben grabbed Anna's hand and looked for an exit. He saw a gate that led to the street. He pulled Anna towards the gate. + +"Come on, Anna, we have to run!" he said. + +But the dog was faster. It reached the gate before them and blocked their way. It growled and showed its teeth. + +Anna and Ben were very afraid. They hugged each other and prayed. + +"Please, God, make the dog go away!" they whispered. + +Just then, a man came from the street. He had a leash and a whistle. He saw the dog and blew the whistle. + +"Rex, come here!" he shouted. "Bad dog, leave those kids alone!" + +The dog heard the man and stopped growling. It wagged its tail and ran to the man. The man put the leash on the dog and apologized to Anna and Ben. + +"I'm so sorry, kids, he escaped from the yard. He's not mean, he's just playful. Are you OK?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They were glad the man came. They thanked him and ran to the exit. They went back to their parents and told them what happened. + +They learned to be careful of strange dogs and to pray when they were in trouble. +Sara liked to listen to her mom read poems. Poems were words that sounded nice and sometimes made her laugh or think. Mom had a big book of poems that she opened every night before bed. + +One night, Sara asked mom if she could read a poem by herself. Mom smiled and said yes. She helped Sara find a little poem that had only a few words. Sara looked at the words and tried to say them out loud. + +"Cat, hat, rat, mat," Sara read. She liked how the words rhymed. She looked at the picture of the cat wearing a hat and chasing a rat on a mat. She giggled and said, "That is a funny poem. I understand it." + +Mom hugged Sara and said, "I'm proud of you, Sara. You read your first poem. Do you want to read another one?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, please. I like poems. They make me happy." Mom turned the page and found another little poem for Sara to read. Sara smiled and read the words with mom. She felt cozy and warm in her bed, listening to the poems. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pick flowers and make crowns. But they did not know that some flowers were bad. They were poison and could make them sick. + +One day, they saw a big purple flower. It looked pretty and smelled sweet. They wanted to pick it and put it in their crowns. But their dog, Spot, barked at them. He knew the flower was poison. He tried to stop them. + +"Go away, Spot!" Ben said. He was angry at the dog. He pushed him and ran to the flower. Lily followed him. Spot barked louder and louder. He wanted to help them. + +But Ben and Lily were deaf. They could not hear Spot. They could not hear their mom, who was calling them from the house. They could not hear the sirens, who came to help them. They only heard the flower, who whispered to them. + +"Come, come, pick me, pick me," the flower said. "I am your friend, I will make you happy." + +Ben and Lily smiled. They reached for the flower. They did not see the thorns, who were sharp and mean. They did not feel the pain, who was hot and red. They only felt the poison, who was cold and black. + +They picked the flower. They tore it from the stem. They put it in their crowns. They fell to the ground. They did not get up. They did not play anymore. They did not live anymore. They were gone. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. One day, they wake up early and go to the kitchen. They see a big pot of pasta on the stove. They are hungry and want to eat some. + +"Can we have pasta for breakfast?" Tom asks Lily. + +"Yes, let's have some. Mom and Dad are still sleeping. They won't know." Lily says. + +They climb on a chair and reach for the pot. But the pot is heavy and hot. They drop it on the floor. The pasta spills everywhere. It makes a big mess. The pasta is dirty and sticky. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Tom says. + +"We have to clean it up. Mom and Dad will be angry." Lily says. + +They try to wipe the pasta with a towel. But the towel gets dirty too. They make more mess. They hear Mom and Dad wake up and come to the kitchen. + +"What is going on here?" Mom says. + +"Who made this mess?" Dad says. + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They are scared and sorry. They say together: + +"We did. We wanted pasta for breakfast. We are sorry." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tent with a sign that said "Display of Magic". They wanted to see what was inside. + +They paid a coin and entered the tent. It was dark and spooky. They saw a woman with a black hat and a long nose. She was a witch! + +"Hello, children," the witch said. "Do you want to see some magic?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were curious and scared. + +The witch took out a wand and waved it. She said some strange words. Then, she pointed at Tom and Lily. + +"Poof!" A cloud of smoke appeared. When it cleared, Tom and Lily looked at each other. They gasped. + +Tom had turned into a frog. Lily had turned into a mouse. They were both pale and small. + +"Ha ha ha!" The witch laughed. "That is my magic display. You are my new pets now. Come with me!" + +The witch grabbed Tom and Lily and put them in a cage. She walked out of the tent with them. + +Tom and Lily cried. They wanted to be children again. They hoped someone would help them. +Tom and Amy were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog that barked very loud. Tom was scared and ran away, but Amy stayed and tried to pet the dog. The dog bit her hand and made her cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Amy shouted. "It hurts!" + +Tom heard her cry and came back. He saw the blood on her hand and felt sorry for her. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Amy. You are very brave. I was not brave. I was scared." + +Amy hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Tom. You are brave too. You came back to help me. We are twins. We stick together." + +They went to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw their faces and asked, "What happened, my loves?" + +"A dog bit me, mom," Amy said, showing her hand. + +"Oh, no, my sweetie. Let me see. We need to clean it and put a band-aid on it," mom said, taking out a tissue and a bottle of water. + +She comforted Amy and cleaned her wound. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. She said, "There, there. You are a brave girl, Amy. You will be fine. And you, Tom, you are a brave boy too. You came back to comfort your sister. I'm proud of you both." + +Tom and Amy smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too, my loves. You are my life." +Ben is a boy who likes to add. He adds blocks, he adds cars, he adds stickers. He has a big box of things to add. He is happy when he adds. + +One day, he goes to the park with his mom. He sees another boy who has a ball. The boy is adorable. He has curly hair and a big smile. Ben wants to play with him. + +"Hi, I am Ben. Can I play with you?" he asks the boy. + +"Hi, I am Sam. Sure, you can play with me. Do you like my ball?" the boy says. + +"Yes, I like your ball. It is red and round. Can I add it to my box?" Ben says. + +Sam looks at Ben's box. He sees many things inside. He is curious. + +"What is in your box?" he asks. + +"These are my things to add. I like to add. Do you want to add with me?" Ben says. + +Sam nods. He thinks adding sounds fun. He gives his ball to Ben. Ben puts it in his box. He smiles. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. Now we can add more things together," he says. + +They run around the park, looking for things to add. They find a stick, a leaf, a flower, a rock. They add them to the box. They laugh and talk. They are happy. + +Ben and Sam are boys who like to add. They are adorable. They are friends. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big modern train set that their dad had bought for them. The train set had many pieces that could fit together to make different tracks and bridges. Ben and Lily liked to make long and winding tracks that filled their room. + +One day, they were playing with their train set when they heard their mom call them for snack time. They ran to the kitchen and saw a plate of cookies and milk on the table. They were very hungry and happy. They each took a cookie and a glass of milk and sat down to eat. + +"Thank you, mom, for the snack," they said. + +"You're welcome, my darlings," mom said. "But remember to finish your snack quickly and clean up your toys. We have to go to the dentist soon." + +Ben and Lily nodded, but they did not like going to the dentist. They thought it was scary and boring. They wanted to play with their train set more. They ate their cookies very slowly and drank their milk very slowly. They hoped that mom would forget about the dentist. + +But mom did not forget. She came back to the kitchen and saw that Ben and Lily were still eating. She looked at the clock and frowned. + +"Come on, kids, we have to go now. Finish your snack and put on your shoes and coats. And don't forget to clean up your toys." + +Ben and Lily sighed. They did not want to go. They finished their snack and put on their shoes and coats. But they did not clean up their toys. They left their train set on the floor, hoping that mom would not notice. + +They followed mom to the car and got in. Mom started the car and drove away. She did not notice the train set on the floor either. + +But someone else did. It was their dog, Max. Max was a big and playful dog who liked to chew on things. He saw the train set on the floor and thought it was a snack. He ran to the train set and started to bite and pull on the pieces. He broke some of the pieces and scattered the rest. He made a big mess. + +When Ben and Lily came back from the dentist, they ran to their room to play with their train set. But they saw the mess that Max had made. They saw the broken and missing pieces. They saw the chewed and torn tracks and bridges. They were very sad and angry. + +"Max, bad dog!" they shouted. "You ruined our train set!" + +Max wagged his tail and licked their faces. He did not understand why they were mad. He thought he had done a good thing. + +Ben and Lily cried and hugged each other. They wished they had cleaned up their toys. They wished they had not left their train set on the floor. They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned that some things do not fit as a snack. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big oak tree with many leaves. Ben had a pair of scissors in his pocket. He wanted to cut some leaves and make a crown. + +"Look, Lily, I can cut these leaves and make a crown for you. You can be a queen," Ben said. + +Lily smiled and nodded. She liked the idea of being a queen. She watched Ben cut some leaves with his scissors. He was careful not to hurt the tree. + +But then, a man came and saw what Ben was doing. He was angry. He worked in the park and he loved the trees. + +"Hey, stop that! You are hurting the tree. Why are you cutting the leaves?" the man shouted. + +Ben was scared. He dropped the scissors and the leaves. He ran to Lily and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean to hurt the tree. I just wanted to make a crown for Lily. She is my friend," Ben said. + +The man looked at Ben and Lily. He saw that they were honest and sorry. He sighed and softened his voice. + +"I understand, but you have to be careful. The leaves are important for the tree. They help it breathe and grow. If you cut too many, the tree will be sick. Do you understand?" the man said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They felt bad for the tree. They wanted to help it. + +"Is there anything we can do to make the tree happy?" Lily asked. + +The man smiled and picked up the scissors and the leaves. He had an idea. + +"Well, you can use these leaves to make a crown, but not for yourself. You can make a crown for the tree. That way, you can show the tree that you are sorry and that you love it. Do you want to try?" the man said. + +Ben and Lily liked the idea. They followed the man to the tree. They helped him make a crown with the leaves and the scissors. They put the crown on a branch of the tree. The tree looked beautiful. + +"Thank you, sir. Thank you, tree. We are sorry. We hope you are happy," Ben and Lily said. + +The man nodded and hugged them. He was proud of them. They learned a lesson and they were kind. + +"You are welcome, kids. You are very honest and sweet. The tree forgives you and thanks you. You can come and visit it anytime. But remember, don't cut the leaves. Just admire them and enjoy them," the man said. + +Ben and Lily agreed. They waved goodbye to the man and the tree. They went back to their parents. They told them what happened. Their parents were happy and proud of them too. They gave them a hug and a kiss. + +The end. +Anna and Ben like to play in the garden. They see many flowers and bugs. They pick some daisies and make a chain. They put the chain on their necks and pretend to be kings and queens. + +"Look at me, I am the queen of the garden!" Anna says. She twirls and laughs. + +"I am the king of the garden!" Ben says. He jumps and claps. + +They have fun until the sun goes down. Then they hear their mom call them. + +"Anna! Ben! Time to go inside!" Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom!" Anna and Ben say. They run to the house. They forget to take off their daisy chains. + +The next day, Anna and Ben want to play in the garden again. They look for their daisy chains. But they cannot find them. They see something on the grass. It is their daisy chains. But they are not pretty anymore. They are dry and brown and broken. + +"What happened to our daisy chains?" Anna asks. She feels sad. + +"They dried up in the sun. They are not alive anymore." Ben says. He feels sad too. + +They try to pick up their daisy chains. But they are too heavy. They fall apart in their hands. They cry and cry. + +They wish they had taken off their daisy chains and put them in water. They wish they had not forgotten them. They wish they had not killed the daisies. They are sorry. But it is too late. The end. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the sand. They had a big spade that they used to dig holes and make castles. One day, they saw a shiny thing in the sand. They used the spade to dig it out and saw that it was a necklace with many pretty stones. + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna said. "It is so sparkly and nice!" + +"Maybe it belongs to someone wealthy," Ben said. "Someone who lost it here." + +"Or maybe it is a treasure that we found!" Anna said. "We can keep it and wrap it as a gift for Mommy!" + +They decided to wrap the necklace in a leaf and hide it in their backpack. They were very happy and proud of their find. They ran back to their parents, who were sitting on a blanket nearby. + +"Mommy, Daddy, we have something for you!" they said. "We made it in the sand!" + +They gave them the leaf and watched them unwrap it. Their parents gasped when they saw the necklace. + +"Where did you get this?" their mother asked. "This is very valuable and beautiful!" + +"We found it in the sand!" Anna and Ben said. "We used our spade to dig it out. It is a treasure!" + +Their parents hugged them and thanked them for their gift. They told them that they were very lucky and smart to find such a thing. They also told them that they should try to find out who the necklace belonged to, because someone might be looking for it. + +Anna and Ben agreed, but they also asked if they could keep it for a while. They liked to look at it and pretend that they were wealthy too. They thought that it was the best thing they ever made in the sand. +Anna loved her doll very much. She gave her doll a name, Lily, and a dress, pink. She played with Lily every day and hugged her at night. Lily was Anna's best friend. + +One day, Anna's mom said, "We are going to visit grandma. She has a big dog, Rex. He is very jolly and likes to play. But you have to be careful with your doll. Rex might think it is a toy and eat it." + +Anna nodded and packed Lily in her bag. She was excited to see grandma and Rex. She liked dogs, too. She hoped Rex would be nice to Lily. + +When they arrived at grandma's house, Rex ran to greet them. He wagged his tail and licked Anna's face. Anna giggled and petted him. He seemed very jolly indeed. + +Anna put her bag on the couch and went to the kitchen with mom and grandma. They made cookies and juice. Anna helped by stirring and cutting. She was having fun. + +But she forgot about Lily. And Rex did not. He smelled something in the bag. He was curious and hungry. He jumped on the couch and opened the bag. He saw Lily. He thought it was a toy. He grabbed it with his teeth and ran away. + +Anna heard a squeak. She turned around and saw Rex with Lily in his mouth. She screamed, "No, Rex, no! That's my doll! Give it back!" + +She ran after Rex, but he was faster. He went to the backyard and started to chew on Lily. He ripped her dress and her hair. He made holes in her body. He did not care. + +Anna caught up with him and tried to pull Lily away. She cried, "Stop, Rex, stop! You are hurting Lily! She is not a toy! She is my friend!" + +Rex looked at Anna. He saw her tears and heard her voice. He felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt Anna or Lily. He dropped Lily and licked Anna's hand. He wagged his tail and whined. + +Anna picked up Lily and hugged her. She was very sad. Lily was broken and dirty. She did not look like Lily anymore. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I should have watched you. I love you." + +Mom and grandma came to the backyard. They saw what happened. They felt sorry, too. They said, "We're sorry, Anna. Rex did not know. He is a good dog, but he does not understand dolls. He thought it was a toy. He was jolly, but he was wrong." + +They took Anna and Lily inside. They cleaned Lily and fixed her as best as they could. They gave her a new dress and a ribbon. They said, "Lily is still your doll. She is still your friend. She may look different, but she loves you the same." + +Anna looked at Lily. She saw her smile and her eyes. She felt her heart. She said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, grandma. Thank you, Rex. I forgive you. Lily forgives you, too. She is still my doll. She is still my friend. She is still jolly." +Tom and Mia are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They are very happy. + +"Look, our snowman is smiling!" Mia says. + +"Yes, he is very nice. Do you want to give him a hug?" Tom asks. + +Mia nods and runs to the snowman. She wraps her arms around him. But then she feels something cold and hard. She screams and lets go. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The snowman is freezing! He hurts my skin!" Mia cries. + +Tom runs to her and hugs her. He looks at the snowman. He sees something shiny on his scarf. It is a metal pin. He remembers that his mom told him not to touch metal things in the cold. They can freeze your touch. + +"Uh-oh, Mia. I think the snowman has a trick. He has a metal pin on his scarf. It makes him very cold. He is a crazy snowman!" Tom says. + +Mia looks at the snowman. She sees the metal pin. She feels angry and scared. She picks up a snowball and throws it at the snowman. It hits his hat and knocks it off. + +"Take that, crazy snowman! You are not nice! You are mean!" Mia shouts. + +The snowman does not move. He does not smile. He does not care. He is just a snowman. But Tom and Mia do not like him anymore. They run away to their house. They tell their mom what happened. She gives them hot chocolate and cookies. She tells them to be careful with metal things in the cold. She tells them to have fun with nice snowmen. Tom and Mia nod. They feel better. They decide to make another snowman tomorrow. A nice one. +Lily liked to watch the birds in the sky. She saw how they could soar high and low, fast and slow. She wished she could soar like them. She had a watch that her grandma gave her. It was delicate and shiny. It had a bird on it. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big hill with a lot of wind. She had an idea. She took off her watch and tied it to a string. She ran up the hill and held the string. She threw the watch in the air and let the wind catch it. She saw how it soared like a bird. She was happy. + +But then, a gust of wind came and blew the watch away. Lily was sad. She ran after the watch, but it was too far. She cried. Her mom came and hugged her. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. We'll find your watch. It's just a thing. You are more important." + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at the sky. She saw a bird flying with something shiny in its beak. It was her watch. The bird dropped the watch on a tree branch. Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, bird. You are kind. You can keep my watch. You can soar with it." + +Lily and her mom went to the tree and waved at the bird. The bird chirped and flew away. Lily and her mom went home. Lily learned that she could soar in her dreams. She was happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with many green apples. They wanted to pick some and eat them, but the tree was too high for them. + +A man came by and saw them. He had a long stick and a big bag. He said he could help them get some apples, but they had to give him half of what they picked. He said he was rich and had many things, but he liked apples very much. + +Lily and Ben agreed and gave him the stick. He reached the tree and knocked down some apples. He put them in his bag and gave them back the stick. He said they could keep the rest of the apples on the ground. + +Lily and Ben were happy and thanked him. They picked up the apples and started to eat them. But they soon found out that the apples were sour and wormy. They spit them out and felt sick. + +The man laughed and said he tricked them. He said he knew the apples were bad, but he wanted to have some fun. He said he did not care about them or their feelings. He said he only cared about himself and his things. He said he was rich and he could do whatever he wanted. + +Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They wished they had not trusted him. They learned that he was not a good person, and that being rich did not make him happy or kind. They decided to never talk to him again, and to look for other friends who would be nice and honest. They learned that it is better to offer than to take, and to share than to be greedy. +Sara liked to make patterns with her blocks. She had red, blue, yellow and green blocks. She put them in rows and circles and squares. She was very proud of her patterns. + +One day, Tom came to play with Sara. He saw her blocks and wanted to grab them. He did not ask Sara if he could play with her. He just took the blocks and made his own patterns. He did not care about Sara's patterns. He broke them and mixed them up. + +Sara was very sad and angry. She said to Tom, "Stop! Those are my blocks! You are not nice! You are not my friend!" Tom did not listen. He kept grabbing the blocks and making noise. + +Sara's mom saw what was happening. She came to help Sara. She said to Tom, "Tom, you are not being polite. You have to share and respect Sara's blocks. They are her toys. She worked hard to make her patterns. You have to ask her if you can play with her. And you have to be gentle and careful with the blocks. They are useful and fun, but they can also break or hurt." + +Tom felt sorry. He realized he was wrong. He said to Sara, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was mean. I did not know you liked your patterns so much. Can I play with you? Can I help you make new patterns?" Sara smiled. She said, "Yes, Tom. You can play with me. But you have to be nice and share and respect. Then we can be friends and have fun." Tom nodded. He gave back the blocks he grabbed. He helped Sara make new patterns. They played nicely and happily. + +The moral of the story is: You have to share and respect other people's things. You have to ask before you take or use something. You have to be gentle and careful with toys. You have to be polite and friendly. Then you can make friends and have fun. +Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play and eat. One day, Mom made a pie for them. It was green and smelled good. Mom said, "This is a special pie. It has spinach and cheese. You can have some after dinner." + +Ben and Sam wanted to try the pie. They did not want to wait. They sneaked into the kitchen when Mom was not looking. They saw the pie on the table. It was still hot. Ben said, "Let's have a bite. Mom won't know." Sam said, "OK. But be careful. It's hot." + +They each took a fork and cut a piece of the pie. They put it in their mouths. It was very hot. They burned their tongues. They spit out the pie. It was not sweet. It was bitter and salty. They did not like it. They made faces and said, "Yuck! This is a bad pie. We don't want it." + +Mom heard them and came into the kitchen. She saw the pie on the table.

He holds it in his hand. + +"This is a very special stone," he says. "It is a magic stone. Do you know what it can do?" + +They shake their heads. They are curious. + +"This stone can grant you one wish," he says. "But only if you share it. If you rub it together, you can make a wish. But you have to agree on the same wish. And you have to be kind and generous to each other. Do you want to try?" + +They nod. They are excited. + +The man gives them the stone. They hold it together. They rub it gently. + +"What do you wish for?" the man asks. + +They think for a moment. Then they say together: + +"We wish for more friends to play with!" + +The stone glows. Then it disappears.

Ben's body was telling him to keep running, so he kept running right in front of the truck. + +Lucky for Ben, the truck driver was paying attention and stopped in time. Ben's mom and dad heard the noise and came running to see what happened. They saw the truck and said, "Ben, you were so naughty! Don't ever run away like that again!" + +Ben was scared now. He said, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. I won't run away like that again." From that day, Ben listened to his mom and dad whenever they asked him to stay close. He learned his lesson and never ran away again. + +Moral of the story: Listen to your parents and obey their rules! +Once upon a time, Sally was getting ready to go to the park. She picked out her favorite dress, the one with the purple flowers. She put on the dress and looked in the mirror. Sally was ready for a day of fun! + +Sally ran to the park. It was the most incredible lawn she had ever seen. It was full of trees, flowers, and even butterflies. She spun around and around in the grass and laughed. + +Sally played in the park all day long. She jumped in puddles and ran around the trees. She even found a big rock and pretended it was a mountain. By the time the sun began to set, Sally was very tired. + +She walked back home and changed into her night clothes. She brushed her teeth and crawled into bed. Sally had had an incredible day and couldn't wait for tomorrow to do it all over again. +Bob the turtle was feeling down. He was walking around his pond, feeling dizzy and sad. He wanted to take a nap, but he didn't feel like sleeping. + +Suddenly, he heard a voice from the sky. He looked up and saw a beautiful bird flying above him. The bird smiled and said, "Hey there Bob, why don't you come up and join me?" + +Bob was scared but he said yes. The bird flew down and picked him up in her beak. She flew high into the sky, until he felt dizzy from the spinning. + +The bird said, "don't worry, it's OK to feel dizzy. Just close your eyes, take a breath and let me encourage you." + +Bob closed his eyes. The bird flew in circles around him, singing a gentle song. Bob felt a little better. The bird gave him a little wink, as if to say that she was glad he was feeling better.
