They knew they had to find out what kind of bird it was. + +The next day they took the bird to the zoo. They found out that it was a rare kind of bird called a Nightingale. They were so happy to know this and to learn that the language was a special language that only Nightingales can speak. + +They decided to keep the little bird as a pet and to call him "Chirpy" because of his special language.

"Don't be scared," she said, "I can swim and so can you." + +But Sally felt scared. She didn't want to swim in the flood. + +Annie stepped into the water and started splashing about. Sally watched, feeling jealous that it didn't seem to bother her. + +"Come on Sally," Annie said. "Don't be scared!" + +In the end, Sally waded into the flood and the two of them had lots of fun playing in the water. Soon the rain stopped and they were both soaking wet but happy. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Sally. She was playing in her cabin when she heard something coming from outside. She walked to the window, and saw that her friend Robert was standing there. She was so excited, and quickly opened the door. + +Sally said, "Hi Robert! What are you doing here?" + +"I'm here to ask for your help," said Robert. "My sister is really hurt, and I need you to come and help me look after her. She is really scared and she doesn't want to accept me as her friend anymore." + +Sally was sad to hear this, but she knew that Robert needed her help. She said, "Of course I will come with you! We can do this together!" + +They took Robert's sister to the cabin. There, Sally and Robert took care of her and showed her how much they cared. After a while, Robert's sister began to feel better. Then, she was finally able to accept Robert and Sally as her friends. + +They were so happy to be reunited, and were grateful to Sally for her help.

So, True hopped over to check it out, and he was surprised by what he saw. A little bird was trapped underneath the bush! + +True knew that he had to help the little bird, so he tried to move the bush. But it was too heavy for him. He kept trying, but he just couldn't move it. + +Then, he had a good idea. He started to bounce around and make a loud noise. Soon, a rabbit came to see what was happening.

It was a beautiful cake with delicious icing. + +Todd put the gem in his pocket and took the cake home. + +When he arrived home, Todd showed his mom the gem. But his mom just said, “You should have just kept the cake, Todd. That’s all the reward you need for a day of exploration.†+ +Todd smiled and realized that his mom had been right. The gem was just a bonus - but the real reward had been the yummy cake all along. +Once there was a small boy named Jake. Every day Jake would pray for a job. One day, Jake's prayer was answered.

He continued to pray. + +"Please help me," he said. + +But this time, his prayer was not answered. After some time, he had to give up his job. He had no coins and was very sad. + +At the end of the day, Jake learned a valuable lesson. Praying can help you sometimes, but you also need to work hard to make your dreams come true. +Once upon a time, there was a small family of three – Mama, Papa and their daughter Lisa.

She filled a bucket and started to splash the water. + +Suddenly, the girl's mother came outside and saw what she was doing. She said sternly, “What are you doing? Stop!†+ +The tired girl replied, “I wanted to splash some water to cool down!†+ +The mother shook her head and said, “That is not the right thing to do. You should not splash water on the roof.†+ +The girl felt a little sad, but she knew her mother was right. She asked her mother, “What should I do?†+ +Her mother smiled and said, “You can splash some water on the ground. That way, you can still cool down and will not cause any damage to the roofâ€. + +The girl smiled and thanked her mother. From then on, the girl knew to splash water on the ground when she wanted to cool off. + +Moral of the story: It is important to be mindful of your actions, as they can lead to unintended consequences. +Once upon a time there was a small prince who lived in a big castle. He was very loved by everyone in the kingdom and he was very kind. + +One day he was walking in the garden when he saw a very rare flower. He tried to pick it, but it was too high for him. + +Suddenly, another prince appeared and said: "That flower is mine!" The small prince said: "No! That flower is mine!" + +They started to quarrel over the flower. Everyone in the castle heard them and ran to the garden to see what was happening. + +The two princes continued to quarrel until the small prince was so tired that he lay down on the ground. The other prince saw this and quickly picked the flower and ran away. + +The small prince never saw the flower again and he was very sad.

"Wow!" She said. "That was so pretty! Please can I do it too?" + +The fairy smiled and said, "Yes, of course you can! All you need is a wand and a bit of magic. Now wave your wand over the river and see what happens!" + +The little girl was so excited. She waved her wand, said some magical words, and soon the river was rainbow too! + +The fairy was so glad. She hugged the little girl and said, "Now you have your very own rainbow! Enjoy it and have lots of fun!" +Tiny was very smart. She knew that mail was very important. Every day she watched her mom get the mail from the mailbox. One day, when Tiny's mom wasn't home, Tiny decided to get the mail herself. + +When she got to the mailbox, Tiny was surprised to see that it was shaking! She stepped back, a bit frightened, and called out, “Who is there?†+ +From inside the mailbox came a small voice, “It’s me! I’m the mailman!†Tiny was so surprised that she almost screamed! + +But then Tiny knew she had to be brave so she opened the mailbox cautiously. There was the mailman!

She tried walking carefully, but she still kept tripping and falling. She started to get angry with herself. + +But then she realized something. It wasn't her fault she was clumsy. That special hat she was wearing was too heavy and it made her balance all wrong. So she took it off and she felt much better. + +The pupil smiled and started walking carefully. She kept her balance and she didn't fall at all. She was so happy to know that even clumsy pupils can do things right. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy called Max.

And Max, what do you have to say?" + +Max said, "I was just playing. I didn't mean to hurt Lila. I just don't like her doll. She is too hairy and boring. I like cars and trucks better. They are more fun and cool. I don't believe in dolls. They are just toys." + +Their mom said, "I understand. But you have to respect Lila's feelings and her things.

He has the right to like his cars and trucks and to not believe in dolls. You can't pull his hair or fight with him. That is not nice either. You have to share and be kind to each other. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Max nodded. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, Lila. We are sorry, Max." + +Their mom said, "That's good. Now, hug and make up.

She told Tim and Lily to stop crying and to clean up the toys. She told them they could not have any more cookies or any more fun until they learned to be good friends and good sports. She left them alone in the room. + +Tim and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not spun the car so hard. They wished they had not fought over the car and the cookie. They wished they had shared and played nicely. They wished they had a hug and a cookie. But it was too late. They had no car, no cookie, no hug, and no fun. They had only dry eyes and dry mouths. They had only a bad ending. +Sara and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and makeup. One day, they found a big box of makeup in Sara's mom's room. They wanted to try it on. + +"Let's put on some lipstick and eyeshadow," Sara said. "We will look so pretty." + +"Okay," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Your mom might get mad if we make a mess." + +They opened the box and took out some makeup. They put it on their faces and looked in the mirror. They giggled and smiled. + +"Wow, you look like a princess," Sara said to Lily. + +"And you look like a fairy," Lily said to Sara. + +They were having so much fun that they did not hear Sara's mom coming home. She walked into the room and saw the girls with makeup all over their faces and clothes. She was very angry. + +"What are you doing?" she yelled. "This is my makeup. You are not allowed to touch it. Look at the mess you made. You have to clean it up right now." + +Sara and Lily were scared. They did not mean to make her mad. They said they were sorry and tried to wipe off the makeup. But it was hard to get it off. + +"Please don't be mad, mom," Sara said. "We just wanted to play." + +"Well, you should have asked me first," Sara's mom said. "And you should have used your own makeup, not mine. This is very expensive and not for children. You have to reverse what you did and put everything back in the box." + +Sara and Lily nodded. They worked together to clean up the makeup and the mirror. They put everything back in the box and closed it. They hoped Sara's mom would forgive them. + +Sara's mom saw that they were sorry and that they tried to fix their mistake. She was still upset, but she was also glad that they were honest and loyal to each other. She decided to give them a hug and a kiss. + +"I love you, Sara," she said. "And I love you, Lily. You are a good friend to Sara. But next time, please ask me before you use my things. And use your own makeup, okay?" + +"Okay, mom," Sara said. "We love you too. And we are sorry." + +They hugged and kissed Sara's mom. Then they went to play with their dolls and their own makeup. They learned their lesson and never used Sara's mom's makeup again. They were still best friends and always loyal to each other. +Lily and Ben were on a big trip with their mom and dad. They had never seen the ocean before. They were very excited to see the blue water and the white sand. + +When they got to the beach, they ran to the water and dipped their toes in. It was cold and wet and made them giggle. Mom and dad came with a big towel and a bucket and a shovel. + +"Let's introduce you to the ocean, kids," dad said. "The ocean is a huge body of water that covers most of the earth. It has many fish and plants and animals living in it. It can be calm or stormy, depending on the weather. And it can be fun to play with, but you have to be careful and stay close to us." + +Lily and Ben nodded and listened. They wanted to learn more about the ocean. They followed dad as he showed them how to make sandcastles and dig holes and find shells. They saw some crabs and seagulls and starfish. They heard the ocean make loud noises like "whoosh" and "splash". + +Mom came with a ball and threw it to Lily. Lily caught it and threw it back. Ben joined them and they played catch with the ball. The ocean was playful too. It sent waves that splashed them and made them laugh. They felt the ocean touch their feet and legs and hands. + +Lily and Ben loved the ocean. They thanked mom and dad for taking them to the beach. They said hello and goodbye to the ocean. They hoped to come back soon and play with it again. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys in the park. They have many toys: cars, dolls, balls, blocks. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, a big person comes to the park. He is angry and mean. He does not like children. He sees Tom and Lily playing with their toys. He shouts at them: "Go away! This is my park! Your toys are stupid and ugly!" + +Tom and Lily are scared. They try to run away, but the big person is faster. He grabs their toys and throws them away. He scatters their toys all over the park. Some toys break, some toys get lost, some toys land in the trash. + +Tom and Lily cry. They want their toys back. They say to the big person: "Please, stop! Give us our toys! They are ours, not yours!" + +The big person laughs. He does not care. He says: "No, they are mine now! You can't have them! You are silly and weak!" + +He bends their toys and twists them. He is very strong and flexible. He makes their toys look funny and wrong. He shows them to Tom and Lily and says: "Look, this is what I do to your toys! They are better this way!" + +Tom and Lily cry more. They are sad and angry. They have no toys left. They have no fun. They have no friend. They have a bad day. +There was a woman who lived in a very old house. The house was ancient, with many cracks and holes. The woman liked to collect things from the past, like books and pots and pictures. She had a big room full of her things, and she loved to look at them and learn from them. + +One day, a little girl came to the house. She was curious and wanted to see the woman's things. She knocked on the door, and the woman opened it. She smiled and said, "Hello, who are you?" + +"I'm Lily," the girl said. "Can I see your things?" + +The woman nodded and said, "Sure, come in. But be careful, some of them are very fragile and precious." + +The woman and the girl went to the big room, and the woman showed her some of her things. She told her stories about them, and the girl listened and asked questions. She saw a book with strange letters, a pot with colorful patterns, and a picture of a man with a beard and a hat. + +The girl liked the woman and her things. She said, "You have so many amazing things. How did you get them?" + +The woman said, "I traveled a lot when I was young. I went to many places and met many people. I learned a lot from them, and they gave me some of their things. I keep them here to remember them and to share them with others." + +The girl said, "That's wonderful. Can you teach me more about them?" + +The woman said, "Of course. I would love to. Come, let's sit down and read this book together." + +The woman and the girl sat down and opened the book. They read and talked and laughed. They became friends, and the girl learned a lot from the woman. The woman was happy to have a new friend, and the girl was happy to have a new teacher. They had a lot of fun in the ancient house. +Tim and Mia were playing with their toy planes in the garden. They liked to make them fly in the air and pretend they were pilots. Tim had a blue plane and Mia had a pink plane. They both loved their planes very much. + +One day, Tim decided he wanted to improve his plane. He found some stickers and glue and stuck them on his plane's wing. He thought his plane looked better and faster now. He showed his plane to Mia and said, "Look at my plane, Mia. It has stickers on the wing. It can fly higher and faster than yours." + +Mia looked at Tim's plane and felt sad. She thought his plane was spoiled. She liked her plane the way it was, without stickers. She said, "I don't like your plane, Tim. It has too many stickers. They make your plane look ugly and heavy. My plane is prettier and lighter than yours." + +Tim and Mia started to argue. They both thought their plane was the best. They did not want to play with each other anymore. They flew their planes in opposite directions and ignored each other. + +Their mom saw them and felt sorry. She knew they both loved their planes and each other. She went to them and said, "Tim, Mia, why are you fighting? You both have nice planes. They are different, but they are both good. You don't have to improve them or spoil them. You just have to enjoy them and share them. Why don't you try to fly your planes together and see how they look in the sky?" + +Tim and Mia listened to their mom. They realized they were being silly. They apologized to each other and hugged. They agreed to fly their planes together and see how they looked in the sky. They found out that their planes looked beautiful and colorful in the sun. They had fun and laughed. They thanked their mom and said, "We love our planes and we love each other. We don't need to improve them or spoil them. We just need to play with them and share them." +Lila and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing was to climb the big tree. The tree had many branches and leaves. It was fun to see the sky and the birds from the tree. + +One day, they climbed the tree as usual. But when they wanted to go down, they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and growling. It looked angry and scary. Lila and Ben were afraid. They did not know what to do. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "Who will save us from the dog?" + +They looked around and saw a man. The man was walking with a leash. The leash was attached to the dog. The man heard their cries and came closer. + +"Sorry, kids. My dog is not mean. He just likes to chase squirrels. He saw you in the tree and thought you were squirrels. Don't worry, I will release him and take him away. Then you can come down." + +The man released the dog from the leash. The dog stopped barking and followed the man. Lila and Ben felt relieved. They thanked the man and climbed down the tree. They hugged each other and smiled. + +"We are safe now," they said. "But maybe we should not climb the tree again. It is too dangerous." + +They decided to play on the swings instead. They still liked the tree, but they liked the swings more. They were happy and safe. +Tom liked to play with his big red boot. He found it in the yard one day and it was very smelly. But Tom did not care. He liked to put things in the boot and pretend it was a house or a car or a boat. + +One day, Tom put his toy phone in the boot. He liked to ring his friends and talk to them. He said hello and bye and how are you. He made funny noises and laughed. He did not hear his mom calling him for lunch. + +Mom was looking for Tom. She saw his boot in the yard and went to pick it up. She thought it was very smelly and dirty. She did not know Tom was playing with it. She wanted to throw it away. + +She lifted the boot and heard a ring. She was surprised. She looked inside and saw Tom's toy phone. She smiled and said, "Oh, Tom, is this your boot? I'm sorry, I did not know. Do you want to keep it?" + +Tom heard his mom and ran to her. He was happy to see his boot and his phone. He said, "Yes, mom, this is my boot. I like it. It is my friend. Can I have lunch with it?" + +Mom hugged Tom and said, "Of course, you can. But first, let's wash it. It is very smelly, you know." + +Tom nodded and said, "OK, mom. But don't make it too clean. I like it a little smelly." +Sara and Tom were playing in the backyard. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and rocks. Sometimes they found shiny things or smooth things or colorful things. + +One day, they found something very strange. It was a small ball that was rough and heavy. It was gray and dull, but when they touched it, it started to glow. It glowed red and blue and green and yellow. It was very pretty. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara said. "It's like a rainbow!" + +"Where did it come from?" Tom asked. "Do you think it's a toy?" + +"I don't know. Maybe it fell from the sky. Maybe it's a star!" Sara said. + +They decided to take it inside and show their mom. They carried it carefully, because it was very heavy. They wondered what their mom would say. + +But when they got to the door, the ball stopped glowing. It became gray and dull again. It was just a rough and heavy ball. + +"Hey, what happened?" Tom said. "Why did it stop glowing?" + +"I don't know. Maybe it only glows outside. Maybe it needs the sun." Sara said. + +They were sad and confused. They wanted to see the ball glow again. They wanted to know what it was. They decided to go back outside and try again. + +But when they got to the backyard, the ball was gone. There was only a hole in the dirt where they had found it. + +"Where did it go?" Sara said. "Who took it?" + +"I don't know. Maybe it flew away. Maybe it went back to the sky." Tom said. + +They looked up at the sky. They saw many stars. They wondered if one of them was their ball. They wondered if it would ever glow again. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll that could turn its head and make noises. Ben had a car that could turn its wheels and go fast. They liked their toys very much. + +"Look at my doll, Ben. She can say 'mama' and 'dada'. She is so smart and pretty," Lily said. + +"Look at my car, Lily. It can go zoom and beep. It is so fast and cool," Ben said. + +They showed each other their toys and smiled. They were happy. + +But then, a big boy came into the living room. He was Lily and Ben's cousin, Tom. He was older and taller than them. He saw their toys and laughed. + +"What are these? These are silly toys. They are for babies. They have no value. I have better toys than these. Look at my robot. It can turn into a plane and shoot lasers. It is so awesome and powerful," Tom said. + +He grabbed Lily's doll and Ben's car and threw them on the floor. He took out his robot and played with it. He made loud noises and pretended to shoot things. + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They did not like Tom. He was mean and rude. They wanted their toys back. + +"Give us our toys, Tom. They are not silly. They are not for babies. They have value. We love them. You are a bad boy. You are not awesome. You are not powerful. You are silly," Lily and Ben said. + +They ran to Tom and tried to take their toys back. But Tom was stronger and bigger than them. He pushed them away and laughed. + +"Ha ha ha. You can't have your toys. They are mine now. You can't do anything. You are weak and small. You are silly," Tom said. + +He played with his robot and ignored them. + +But then, something happened. Tom's robot stopped working. It made a strange noise and smoke came out of it. It did not turn into a plane or shoot lasers anymore. It was broken. + +Tom was shocked and sad. He did not know what to do. He looked at his robot and cried. + +"What happened? Why did my robot stop working? It was so awesome and powerful. It had value. I loved it. It is not silly," Tom said. + +He looked at Lily and Ben. They had their toys back. They hugged their toys and smiled. They were happy. + +They looked at Tom. They felt sorry for him.

They were friends. + +They learned that all toys have value. They learned that being silly is not bad. They learned that being kind and sharing is good. They learned a lot. +Tim and Kim like to play with balls. They have a big ball, a small ball, and an orange ball. The orange ball is their favorite. It is round and bright and bouncy. + +One day, they go to the park with Mom. They see a big tree with many oranges on it. They want to pick some oranges, but Mom says no. The oranges are not for them. They are for the farmer who owns the tree. + +Tim and Kim are sad. They want to eat some oranges. They see the orange ball in their bag. They have an idea. They take out the orange ball and throw it at the tree. They hope to strike some oranges and make them fall. + +But they are not good at throwing. The orange ball misses the tree and flies over the fence. It lands in the farmer's yard, where his big dog is sleeping. The dog wakes up and sees the orange ball. He thinks it is a toy. He runs to the ball and bites it hard. + +The ball pops and makes a loud noise. The dog is scared and barks. The farmer hears the noise and comes out. He sees the dog, the ball, and the kids. He is angry. He shouts at Tim and Kim. He says they are bad kids. He says they have to pay for the ball and the oranges. + +Tim and Kim are scared and sorry. They run to Mom and tell her what happened. Mom is not happy. She says they have to apologize to the farmer and give him some money. She says they have to learn to respect other people's things. + +Tim and Kim say they are sorry. They give the farmer some money and say they will not do it again. The farmer accepts their apology and gives them each an orange. He says they can have some oranges if they ask nicely next time. + +Tim and Kim thank the farmer and eat the oranges. They are sweet and juicy. They say they like oranges, but not orange balls. They say they will not throw balls at trees anymore. They say they will play with balls in the park, where they belong. +Lily was a daughter who liked to fold paper. She could fold paper into many shapes, like birds, boats, and stars. She learned how to fold paper from her mom, who was very good at it. + +One day, Lily wanted to fold a big paper into a house. She asked her mom for help, but her mom was busy. She had to cook, clean, and work on her laptop. She told Lily to wait a little bit, or to fold something else. + +But Lily did not want to wait, or to fold something else. She wanted to fold a house. She thought it was not fair that her mom had no time for her. She felt angry and sad. She tried to fold the paper by herself, but it was difficult.

He smiles and waves at Anna. + +"No, Tom, it is too high. I do not want to climb the slide. I want to play on the swings." Anna says. She walks to the swings and sits on one. She pushes herself with her feet. + +Tom slides down the loop. He laughs and shouts. He lands on the ground and runs to Anna. He wants her to try the slide. + +"Anna, you have to try the slide.

We have to wait for the timer to beep," mom said. + +Lily waited and waited. She was very hungry and wanted to eat a cookie. She saw the cookies turn golden and smell yummy. She heard the timer beep. + +"Mom, can I have one?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. But be careful, they are very hot. Let me help you," mom said. + +But Lily was too eager. She reached for a cookie on the tray. She touched it with her finger. It was very hot. It burned her finger. She cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" Lily said. + +Mom quickly took her finger and ran it under cold water. She wrapped it in a soft cloth. She hugged Lily and kissed her finger. + +"I'm sorry, baby. You have to be more patient. The cookies need to cool down before you can eat them. They are too hot and they can burn you," mom said. + +Lily nodded. She felt sorry and silly. She learned her lesson.

It was a thick book with pictures and words. It was a book about kings and queens and their sons. It was a gift from their son, who had returned from his trip. He had learned new things and wanted to share them with his parents. + +Tom and Anna saw the book and smiled. They opened it and looked at the pages. They saw the pictures and read the words. They learned new things too. They thanked their son and hugged him. They were happy. They had a new book and a new story. +Lily was miserable. She did not want to pack her toys and clothes. She did not want to move to a new house. She liked her old house and her old friends. She did not like the big boxes and the noisy truck. + +"Why do we have to go, Mommy?" she asked, holding her teddy bear. + +"Because Daddy has a new job, sweetie. And we will find a nice house and make new friends. It will be fun, you'll see." Mommy said, trying to sound cheerful. + +"But I don't want to go!" Lily cried. "I want to stay here!" + +Mommy hugged her and kissed her head. "I know, honey. I know. It's hard to leave. But we have to pack everything and get in line for the truck. Come on, let's do it together. Maybe we can find some surprises in your boxes." + +Lily sniffed and wiped her eyes. She followed Mommy to her room and helped her put her toys and clothes in the boxes. She found some stickers and a book she had forgotten. She smiled a little. + +"See, it's not so bad, is it?" Mommy said. "And when we get to the new house, we can unpack everything and decorate your room. How about that?" + +Lily nodded. She still felt sad, but she also felt curious. Maybe the new house would be nice. Maybe she would make new friends. Maybe it would be fun. + +She took her teddy bear and her box and joined Mommy in the line for the truck. She waved goodbye to her old house and hoped for the best. +Tom and Lily are playing with their new toys. Tom has a red car and Lily has a pink doll. They make noises and move their toys around the floor. + +"Beep beep! My car is fast!" Tom says. + +"Hello! My doll is pretty!" Lily says. + +They are having fun, but then they hear a sound from the kitchen. It is Mom. She is calling them. + +"Tom! Lily! Come here! I have a surprise for you!" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily pause their game. They look at each other and smile. They love surprises. They run to the kitchen. + +"What is it, Mom?" Tom asks. + +"Look! I made you some cookies! And I have some cream for you to put on them!" Mom says. + +She shows them a plate of warm cookies and a bowl of white cream. Tom and Lily clap their hands. They love cookies and cream. + +"Thank you, Mom! You are the best!" Lily says. + +They each take a cookie and dip it in the cream. They bite into them and make happy sounds. + +"Mmm! This is yummy!" Tom says. + +"Yes, it is! Can we have more?" Lily asks. + +"Of course, you can. But only after you finish your cookie and cream. And don't forget to share!" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily nod. They finish their cookie and cream and ask for another one. They share with each other and with Mom. They are very happy. They hug Mom and thank her again. + +"Can we go back to play with our new toys now?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, you can. But remember to clean up your mess and wash your hands first!" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily agree. They clean up their mess and wash their hands. They run back to their room and resume their game. They are still having fun, but now they are also full of cookies and cream. +Sara and Ben were playing with paper. They liked to fold the paper into different shapes. Sara folded a paper into a boat. Ben folded a paper into a hat. They showed each other their paper shapes and smiled. + +Then they saw a basket on the table. It was full of clothes. Sara had an idea. She said to Ben, "Let's fold the clothes and put them in the basket. Then Mommy will be happy." + +Ben nodded. He liked to help Mommy. They took the clothes out of the basket and started to fold them. Sara folded a shirt. Ben folded a sock. They put the folded clothes back in the basket. + +But then they saw a weird thing. It was a big, round, fuzzy thing. It had eyes and a nose and a mouth. It was a sweater. But it looked like a monster. Sara and Ben were scared. They screamed and ran away. + +Mommy heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the basket with the folded clothes and the sweater. She laughed and said, "Don't be afraid. It's just a sweater. It's not a monster. It's very soft and warm. You did a good job folding the clothes. Thank you for helping me." + +Sara and Ben felt silly. They realized it was not a monster. They went back to the basket and touched the sweater. It was soft and warm. They hugged the sweater and said sorry. Mommy hugged them and said, "It's okay. Sometimes things look weird, but they are not scary. You just have to look closer and be brave. You are very brave and kind. I love you." + +The moral value of the story is: Don't judge things by their appearance. Be brave and kind. Help others. +Sara loved pasta. She liked to eat it with cheese and sauce. She always asked her mom to make pasta for dinner. One day, her mom said, "Sara, we are going to the park today. Do you want to come?" + +"Yes, mom, I want to come!" Sara said. She put on her shoes and coat. She was excited to play on the swings and slides. + +But Sara forgot something. She forgot to bring her lunch box. Her mom had packed pasta for her. It was in a pink lunch box with a flower on it. Sara left it on the kitchen table. + +At the park, Sara had fun. She ran and jumped and laughed. She made a new friend named Lily. They played with a ball and a doll. Sara did not think about her lunch box. + +When it was time to eat, Sara's mom said, "Sara, where is your lunch box? Did you bring it?" + +Sara looked around. She did not see her lunch box. She felt sad. She said, "Mom, I forgot my lunch box. I forgot my pasta." + +Her mom hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Sara. We can share my sandwich and apple. And maybe Lily will share some of her snack with you." + +Lily heard Sara and her mom. She said, "Sara, do you like cookies? I have two cookies in my lunch box. You can have one. They are chocolate chip cookies. They are very yummy." + +Sara smiled. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. I like cookies. And I like you." + +Sara and Lily shared their cookies. They were very yummy. Sara felt happy again. She did not miss her pasta so much. She learned that sometimes it is good to forget things. Because then you can find new things. And new friends. +Lily and Anna were playing dress-up in Lily's room. They put on pretty dresses, hats and shoes from Lily's mom's closet. They felt like grown-ups. + +"Let's put on some perfume too," Lily suggested. She found a bottle of perfume on the dresser and sprayed some on her neck. "Mmm, it smells good." + +Anna wanted to try it too, but she did not know how to use the bottle. She pressed the top too hard and the perfume squirted in her eyes. "Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "It hurts!" + +Lily ran to help her. She saw Anna's eyes were red and watery. She felt sorry for her. "Don't cry, Anna. It was an accident. You are not stupid. Here, let me get a wet cloth for you." + +She went to the bathroom and came back with a damp towel. She gently wiped Anna's eyes and face. Anna felt better. She hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend." + +Lily smiled and hugged her back. "You are welcome, Anna. You are a good friend too. Let's play something else. How about tea party?" + +Anna nodded. She liked tea party. They forgot about the perfume and had fun with their cups and saucers. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a lovely toy car that they could ride together. The car had a handle that they could turn to make it go left or right. + +One day, they saw a big sunflower in the garden. It was taller than them and had a bright yellow face. They wanted to touch it and smell it, but it was too high for them. + +"Let's use the car to get closer," said Anna. "We can stand on it and reach the sunflower." + +"OK," said Ben. "But we have to be careful not to break the car or the flower." + +They drove the car to the sunflower and parked it under it. Then they climbed on the car and stretched their arms. They could touch the soft petals and the fuzzy center. They smiled and sniffed the sweet scent. + +"It's so pretty," said Anna. "How did it grow so big?" + +"It grew from a small seed," said Ben. "Mommy told me that sunflowers need water and sun and soil to grow. Just like us." + +They looked at each other and giggled. They were happy to learn something new and to share their car and their curiosity. + +They heard Mommy calling them for lunch. They got down from the car and pushed it back to the garage. They thanked the sunflower for letting them visit and ran to the house. + +Mommy hugged them and praised them for being good and gentle with the car and the flower. She said they were growing up fast and becoming lovely children. Anna and Ben smiled and hugged her back. They knew they had a lot more to learn and explore, but they also knew they had each other and Mommy to help them. They were happy and grateful. +Jill and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pink tent in the park. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's go in the tent," Jill says. "Maybe there is a show." + +"OK," Ben says. "But we have to be quiet." + +They sneak into the tent. It is dark and misty inside. They hear music and voices. They see people in costumes. They are acting like animals and clowns. + +"Wow," Jill whispers. "This is fun." + +"Shh," Ben whispers. "Don't let them see us." + +But it is too late. A man with a big hat and a long nose sees them. He is acting like a ringmaster. He points at them and says in a loud voice: + +"Look, everyone! We have two new stars in our circus! Come on, Jill and Ben, join the show!" + +Jill and Ben are scared. They don't want to act in front of everyone. They run out of the tent. They hear the people laughing and clapping. + +"That was not fun," Jill says. "That was scary." + +"I agree," Ben says. "Let's go home." + +They hold hands and walk away. They decide to never go into a pink tent again. +Ben and Lily were curious twins. They liked to explore the house and find new things. One day, they saw a shiny tap in the kitchen. They wanted to see what it did. + +They climbed on a chair and turned the tap. Water came out and made a splash. Ben and Lily laughed and played with the water. They filled a cup and drank some. It was cold and good. + +"Look, Lily, there is something else on the tap," Ben said. He pointed to a small button. "What do you think it does?" + +"I don't know, Ben. Let's press it and see," Lily said. She was curious too. + +They pressed the button and a spray of water came out. It was hot and bad. It burned their mouths and made them cough. Ben and Lily dropped the cup and ran away. They were scared and sad. + +"Mama, mama, help!" they cried. They ran to their mama, who was in the living room. She saw their wet faces and heard their cries. She was worried and hugged them. + +"What happened, my loves?" she asked. She took them to the sofa and gave them some juice. + +"We played with the tap and it hurt us," Ben said. + +"We pressed a button and it sprayed hot water," Lily said. + +"Oh, my loves, you should not play with the tap. It is not a toy. It can be dangerous. The button is for the steam. It is for cooking, not for drinking. You could get hurt," mama said. She was gentle and kind. + +"We are sorry, mama. We were curious. We wanted to see what it did," Ben and Lily said. + +"I know, my loves. It is good to be curious, but you have to be careful too. Some things are not for children. You have to ask me or daddy before you touch them. Do you understand?" mama said. + +"Yes, mama. We understand. We will not play with the tap again," Ben and Lily said. + +"That's good, my loves. Now, how about we eat some cookies? I made them for you. They are sweet and good," mama said. + +"Yes, mama. We love cookies. Thank you, mama," Ben and Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged their mama. They ate some cookies and felt better. They were still curious, but they learned to be careful too. They loved their mama and their mama loved them. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. But then the sky became dark and they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They were scared and wanted to go home. + +"Let's go, Lily. It's going to rain soon," Tom said. + +But Lily did not want to go. She wanted to play more. She was grumpy and did not listen to Tom. She grabbed the ball and ran away from him. + +"Come back, Lily. It's not safe," Tom shouted. + +But Lily did not come back. She kicked the ball hard and it flew into the bushes. She ran after it and pushed the branches aside. But she did not see the hole in the ground. She tripped and fell into the hole. She hurt her knee and started to cry. + +"Help, Tom. Help me," Lily cried. + +Tom heard Lily and ran to the bushes. He saw the hole and Lily in it. He was worried and tried to help her. He reached out his hand and said, "Grab my hand, Lily. I'll pull you out." + +Lily grabbed Tom's hand and he pulled her out. She was wet and dirty and her knee was bleeding. She was sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was grumpy and did not listen to you. I should have gone home with you." + +Tom hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're safe. But next time, please listen to me. I only want to protect you." + +They hugged and said sorry to each other. Then they ran home together before the rain started. They learned to be nice and listen to each other. They also learned to be careful and not push the branches. They were happy and not grumpy anymore. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with bikes. They have helmets to keep their heads safe. Tom has a red helmet. Sam has a blue helmet. + +One day, they go to the park with their bikes. They see many other kids with bikes. Some kids have helmets, some kids do not. Tom and Sam want to join them. + +"Hi, can we play with you?" Tom asks a big kid with a yellow bike. + +The big kid looks at Tom and Sam. He sees their helmets. He laughs. + +"No, you can't. Helmets are for babies. We are cool. We don't need helmets. Go away!" he says. + +Tom and Sam feel sad. They do not like the big kid. They think he is mean. + +"Let's go, Sam. We don't need him. We have each other. And we have helmets. Helmets are good. They protect us. They are not for babies. They are for smart kids." Tom says. + +Sam nods. He agrees with Tom. They ride away from the big kid. They find a nice spot to play. They have fun with their bikes and helmets. + +They do not care if the big kid is popular. They are happy. They are friends. The end. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with toys. They have many toys in their room. But they do not like to share. They always fight over the toys. + +One day, mom says, "It is noon. Time for lunch. Come to the kitchen." Tim and Kim run to the kitchen. They are hungry. They see two plates of food on the table. One plate has a sandwich and a banana. The other plate has a soup and a cookie. + +Tim says, "I want the sandwich and the banana. They are mine." Kim says, "No, I want the sandwich and the banana. They are mine." They start to pull the plate. The plate falls to the floor. The food is messy. + +Mom is angry. She says, "Look what you did. You wasted the food. You are not nice. You are selfish. You need to learn to share. Go to your room. No toys for you." + +Tim and Kim are sad. They go to their room. They see their toys. But they do not want to play. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We were bad. We want to be nice. We want to share." + +They pick up some toys. They go to the kitchen. They say, "Mom, we have some toys for you. We want to share. We want to make you happy. Can we have some food, please?" + +Mom is happy. She says, "Thank you, Tim and Kim. You are nice. You are generous. You make me happy. Yes, you can have some food. Come, sit down. I have some more food for you. I have some bread and cheese. I have some milk and apple. You can open them and eat them." + +Tim and Kim are happy. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are nice. You are kind. You make us happy. We love you." They open the food and eat them. They share the food. They smile. + +The end. + +Moral value: Sharing is caring. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play together. One day, Ben saw a big toy car in the shop window. He wanted to buy it, but he did not have enough money. He asked his mom, but she said no. She said he had to save his money for something more important. + +Ben was sad. He thought of a plan. He went to Lily's house and invited her to play. He said, "Lily, do you want to play with me? I have a fun game. We can pretend to be pirates and look for treasure." + +Lily liked pirates. She said, "Yes, Ben, that sounds fun. What do we need?" + +Ben said, "We need a map, a shovel, and a bag. I have them in my backpack. Come on, let's go to the park." + +They went to the park and Ben took out his map. He said, "Look, Lily, this is where the treasure is. We have to dig here." He pointed to a spot under a big tree. + +Lily followed him and they started to dig. Ben gave Lily the shovel and said, "You dig, Lily, I'll hold the bag." + +Lily dug and dug. She found some rocks, some leaves, and some worms. She said, "Ben, I don't see any treasure. Are you sure this is the right place?" + +Ben said, "Yes, Lily, keep digging. It's very deep. You'll find it soon." + +Lily dug some more. She was tired and dirty. She said, "Ben, I want to stop. This is not fun. This is hard work." + +Ben said, "No, Lily, don't stop. You're almost there. Trust me." + +Lily dug one more time. She hit something hard. She said, "Ben, I found something. It's a box. Is this the treasure?" + +Ben said, "Yes, Lily, it is. Open it. Let's see what's inside." + +Lily opened the box. She gasped. Inside the box was Ben's money. He had hidden it there. He said, "Ha, ha, Lily, I tricked you. This is my money. I saved it to buy the toy car. You helped me dig it out. Thank you, Lily. You're such a good friend." + +Lily was shocked. She felt angry and hurt. She said, "Ben, you're not a good friend. You're a bad friend. You lied to me. You used me. You didn't invite me to play. You invited me to work. You don't care about me. You only care about yourself. You're not reliable. You're selfish." + +She threw the shovel at Ben and ran away. She cried all the way home. + +Ben was left alone with his money and his box. He felt guilty and ashamed. He realized he had lost his friend. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please come back. Please forgive me." + +But Lily did not hear him. She did not come back. She did not forgive him. + +Ben learned a hard lesson. He learned that money is not more important than friendship. He learned that lying and cheating are not good ways to get what you want. He learned that being reliable and honest are good ways to keep your friends. He learned that being selfish is not fun. It is lonely. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. They want to swing on it. + +"Can I swing first?" Anna asks. + +"No, I want to swing first!" Ben says. + +They both run to the swing. They push and pull. They are not happy. + +A lady sees them. She is attractive. She has a nice dress and a big hat. She smiles at them. + +"Hello, children. Why are you fighting?" she asks. + +"We both want to swing," Anna says. + +"Swinging is fun, but sharing is better," the lady says. "Why don't you take turns? You can swing for a little while, and then let the other one swing. That way, you can both enjoy the swing and be friends." + +Anna and Ben think about it. They nod. + +"OK, we can share," Ben says. + +"Thank you, lady," Anna says. + +The lady helps them get on the swing. She pushes them gently. They feel the wind and the sun. They laugh and sing. They are happy. They swing and share. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was on top. + +"Look, Tom, there is a nest!" Lila said, pointing to a small bowl of sticks and feathers on a branch. "Maybe there are birds inside." + +"Let's go and see," Tom said. He helped Lila climb the tree. They were careful not to fall or make noise. + +When they reached the nest, they saw three eggs inside. The eggs were blue and speckled. They were warm and smooth. + +"Wow, they are so pretty," Lila said. "Do you think the birds will come back soon?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe they are looking for food or water." + +They heard a loud chirp from above. They looked up and saw an old bird flying towards them. The bird had brown feathers and a yellow beak. It looked angry and scared. + +"Shoo, shoo, go away!" the bird said. "This is my nest, my eggs, my babies. You are not welcome here. You are bad and mean." + +Lila and Tom were sorry and scared. They did not want to hurt the bird or the eggs. They wanted to be friends. + +"We are sorry, bird," Lila said. "We did not know this was your nest. We just wanted to see the eggs. They are very beautiful." + +"We are sorry, bird," Tom said. "We will not touch the eggs or the nest. We will go down and leave you alone." + +The bird calmed down a little. It saw that Lila and Tom were not bad and mean. They were just curious and kind. + +"Thank you, children," the bird said. "I am sorry I was angry and scared. I am an old bird and I have to protect my nest and my eggs. They are my last hope and joy." + +The bird flew down and wrapped its wings around the nest and the eggs. It looked at Lila and Tom with gratitude and sadness. + +"Goodbye, children," the bird said. "Maybe one day you will come back and see my babies. They will be beautiful and strong. They will fly and sing and make me proud." + +Lila and Tom smiled and waved. They climbed down the tree and went back to the park. They learned a lot from the old bird and the nest. They felt happy and sad at the same time. +Tom likes to jog with his dad. They jog in the park, where they see many things. They see birds, trees, flowers, and dogs. Sometimes they jog with their friends, who also like to jog. + +One day, Tom and his dad jog to a big house. The house has many books. A lady lives in the house. She likes to read and write books. She is a story lady. She tells Tom and his dad to come in. She has a rare book for them. + +The rare book is very old and has many pictures. The story lady says the book is about a king and a dragon. She reads the book to Tom and his dad. They listen and look at the pictures. The king is brave and the dragon is scary. But the king and the dragon become friends. Tom and his dad like the story. + +The story lady says they can borrow the book. She says they can read it at home. Tom and his dad thank her and jog back to their house. They are happy. They have a rare book and a new friend. They can't wait to read the book again. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the backyard. They had a big sandbox, a swing, and a slide. They also had a ball that they could kick and throw. + +One day, they were playing with the ball when Tim had an idea. He saw a window on the neighbor's house that looked shiny and fun. He said to Sam, "Let's see if we can hit the window with the ball. It will make a loud noise and maybe break." + +Sam was not sure. He said, "That is not nice. The neighbor will be mad. We should mind our own business and play with our toys." + +But Tim did not listen. He said, "Don't be a baby. It will be fun. Watch me." He threw the ball as hard as he could and hit the window. The window cracked and made a loud noise. The neighbor came out and shouted, "Hey, you kids! What are you doing? You broke my window!" + +Tim and Sam were scared. They ran to their house and hid in their room. They heard their mom open the door and talk to the neighbor. She sounded angry and sad. She said, "I'm so sorry. I don't know what they were thinking. I will pay for the window and make them apologize." + +Tim and Sam felt ashamed. They knew they did a bad thing. They wished they had listened to Sam and minded their own business. They waited for their mom to come and scold them. They hoped she would still love them. +Sara and Ben like to design things with their toys. They have many different toys, like blocks, cars, dolls, and animals. They can make houses, roads, gardens, and stories with their toys. + +One day, Sara and Ben want to design a big house with their blocks. They start to build the walls and the roof. But they have a problem. They do not have enough blocks of the same color. Sara wants to use the blue blocks, and Ben wants to use the red blocks. + +"No, Sara, we need the red blocks. They are better for the house," Ben says. + +"No, Ben, we need the blue blocks. They are prettier for the house," Sara says. + +They start to pull the blocks from each other. They are not happy. They are angry. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the blocks and the house. + +"Children, why are you fighting? You have so many blocks. You can use different colors for the house. It will be more fun and more beautiful," Mom says. + +She helps them to pick some blocks of different colors. She shows them how to mix the colors and make patterns. Sara and Ben like the idea. They stop fighting and start to design the house together. They use blue, red, yellow, green, and white blocks. They make the house look like a rainbow. + +They are happy. They are proud of their house. They thank Mom for helping them. They hug each other and play with their house. They have fun. +Anna and Ben love to bake with Mom. They help her to mix the flour, the eggs, the sugar and the milk in a big bowl. Mom says they are making a cake for Dad's birthday. She tells them to be careful and not make a mess. + +Anna and Ben are very excited. They want to make the cake look nice and tasty. They find some sprinkles, some nuts, some chocolate and some candles in the cupboard. They ask Mom if they can use them. Mom says yes, but they have to wait until the cake is baked and cooled. + +Mom puts the cake in the oven and sets the timer. She tells Anna and Ben to wash their hands and clean the table. She gives them each a brush and a cloth. Anna and Ben start to scrub the bowl, the spoons, the cups and the plates. They sing a song while they work. + +Ding! The timer rings. Mom opens the oven and takes out the cake. It smells good and looks golden. She puts it on a rack to cool. She tells Anna and Ben to be patient and not touch the cake. She says she has a surprise for them. + +Anna and Ben wonder what the surprise is. They think maybe it is a toy, a book, a balloon or a sticker. They finish cleaning the table and put the brush and the cloth away. They sit on the floor and wait for Mom. + +Mom comes back with a huge smile. She has a surprise for them. It is not a toy, a book, a balloon or a sticker. It is something better. It is Dad! He is home early from work. He hugs Mom and kisses Anna and Ben. He says he is happy to see them and he thanks them for the cake. + +Anna and Ben are very happy. They show Dad the cake and the decorations. They help Mom to put the sprinkles, the nuts, the chocolate and the candles on the cake. They sing "Happy Birthday" to Dad and help him to blow out the candles. They cut the cake and share it with Mom and Dad. They say it is the best cake ever. They all laugh and hug. They love to bake with Mom and Dad. +Lila and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. Lila had a lot of blocks, but Ben only had a few. He wanted more blocks to make his tower bigger. + +"Can I have some of your blocks, Lila?" Ben asked. + +"No, they are mine. You have enough," Lila said. + +"But your blocks are better. They are steel. They are shiny and strong. My blocks are wood. They are dull and weak," Ben said. He was envious of Lila's blocks. + +"That's not true. Your blocks are good too. They are colorful and smooth. And they fit together well. See, I can make a house with your blocks," Lila said. She took some of Ben's blocks and made a house. + +Ben looked at the house. It was nice. He smiled. + +"Can I help you make the house, Lila?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can. Here, take some of my blocks. They are steel. They are shiny and strong. We can make the roof with them," Lila said. She gave some of her blocks to Ben. + +Ben took the blocks. They were heavy and cold. He tried to fit them on the house, but they were too big and hard. They did not fit well. + +"These blocks are not good for the house, Lila. They are too big and hard. They do not fit well. They make the house fall down," Ben said. He was sad. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. You are right. These blocks are not good for the house. They are good for other things, like bridges or cars. But your blocks are good for the house. They are colorful and smooth. And they fit together well. Let's use your blocks for the house, and my blocks for something else," Lila said. She was sorry. + +"Okay, Lila. That sounds good. Let's use your blocks for something else. Like a bridge or a car. And let's use my blocks for the house. They are colorful and smooth. And they fit together well. We can make a nice house," Ben said. He was happy. + +Lila and Ben used their blocks to make a house, a bridge, and a car. They played with their blocks for a long time. They were not envious of each other's blocks. They were friends. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a shiny knife in the kitchen. They thought it was a toy and wanted to play with it. + +"Look, I have a knife!" Tom said, holding it up. + +"Me too, me too!" Lily said, reaching for it. + +Tom did not want to share. He said, "No, it is mine! Go away!" + +Lily was sad. She said, "But we are friends. Friends share." + +Tom did not listen. He said, "No, no, no! Go away or I will cut you!" + +Lily was scared. She ran away and cried. + +Tom was not happy. He felt lonely and bad. He did not have anyone to play with. + +Then, he heard a loud noise. He turned around and saw his mom. She had seen him with the knife. She was angry and scared. + +"What are you doing with that knife?" she asked, taking it away from him. + +Tom tried to hide it. He said, "Nothing, nothing, nothing!" + +But his mom did not believe him. She said, "Don't lie to me. I saw you. You were playing with a dangerous thing. You could have hurt yourself or Lily. That is not a toy. That is a knife. Knives are for cutting food, not for playing. You are in big trouble, young man." + +Tom felt ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should have shared. I should have listened. I should have been nice." + +His mom said, "I'm glad you are sorry, but you still have to face the consequences. You have to apologize to Lily and give her a hug. You have to stay in your room for the rest of the day. And you have to promise me you will never touch a knife again without my permission. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I promise." + +He went to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. I was selfish. I was stupid. Can you forgive me? Can we still be friends?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "I forgive you, Tom. You made a mistake, but you learned from it. We can still be friends. Friends make up." + +They hugged and said, "We are friends." + +They were happy. + +The moral of the story is: Don't play with dangerous things. Share with your friends. Be nice and honest. Learn from your mistakes. +Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big red slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Can we go on the slide, Mom?" Tom says. + +"Yes, but be careful. And stay near me," Mom says. + +Tom and Ann run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They have fun. They laugh and shout. + +"Look at me, Ann! I am so fast!" Tom says. + +"You are fast, Tom. But I am faster!" Ann says. + +They go on the slide again and again. They do not see a big dog. The dog is black and brown. The dog is not nice. The dog barks and runs to the slide. + +"Help! Help! A dog!" Tom says. + +"Mom! Mom! A dog!" Ann says. + +Mom sees the dog. She is scared. She runs to Tom and Ann. She picks them up. She hugs them. + +"Are you OK, kids?" Mom says. + +"Yes, Mom. We are OK. But the dog is bad," Tom says. + +"The dog is bad. He is mean," Ann says. + +Mom takes Tom and Ann away from the slide. She takes them to the bench. She gives them juice and cookies. + +"Thank you, Mom. You are good. You are nice," Tom says. + +"Thank you, Mom. You are good. You are nice," Ann says. + +They eat and drink. They are happy. They do not go on the slide again. They stay with Mom. They play with their toys. They do not see the dog again. They are safe. +Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the woods. One day, they found a big hole in the ground. It was deep and dark, but they saw something shiny inside. + +"Look, Tom, a crystal!" Lila said. "I want it!" + +"No, I want it!" Tom said. "It's mine!" + +They both ran to the hole and tried to grab the crystal. But it was too far and they slipped and fell. They screamed as they tumbled down the deep hole. + +They landed on a pile of rocks and bones. They were hurt and scared. They looked up and saw a big snake with red eyes. It was hungry and angry. It had been waiting for someone to fall into its trap. + +"Help, help!" Lila and Tom cried. "Someone, please help us!" + +But no one heard them. The snake moved closer and closer. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. It was ready to eat them. + +The crystal sparkled in the dark. It was the last thing they saw. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big bird in a tree. The bird was red and blue and yellow. It was very pretty. + +"Look, mom, a bird!" Anna said. + +"Yes, it is a parrot. It can talk," mom said. + +"Talk? Can we hear it?" Ben asked. + +Mom nodded. She took some seeds from her purse and held them out to the bird. The bird flew down and landed on mom's hand. It ate the seeds and said, "Hello, hello!" + +Anna and Ben laughed. They wanted to touch the bird. But the bird was scared. It flew away and went back to the tree. + +"Bye, bye, bird!" Anna and Ben said. + +They played some more in the park. They went on the slide and the swing and the seesaw. They had fun. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a car. It was going very fast. It hit the tree where the bird was. The tree shook and the bird fell down. It did not move. + +"Oh no, the bird!" mom said. She ran to the bird. She picked it up and checked it. But it was too late. The bird was dead. + +Anna and Ben cried. They loved the bird. They wanted it to be alive. + +"Mom, can we pray for the bird?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, we can. Let's pray together," mom said. + +They closed their eyes and folded their hands. They prayed for the bird. They prayed that it would go to heaven and be happy. They prayed that God would take care of it. They prayed that they would see it again someday. + +They opened their eyes and hugged each other. They were sad, but they felt a little better. They thanked God for the bird. They said goodbye to the bird. They buried it under a flower. They put a cross on it. + +They went home. They remembered the bird. They smiled. They knew the bird was in a good place. They hoped to hear it say, "Hello, hello!" again. +Tommy loved his blanket very much. He took it everywhere with him. He liked to hug it and smell it and feel it on his skin. His blanket was soft and blue and had stars on it. + +One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom and his blanket. He saw a big slide and wanted to try it. He left his blanket on a bench and ran to the slide. He climbed up the ladder and slid down with a big smile. He felt happy and brave. + +But when he went back to the bench, his blanket was gone. He looked around and saw a girl holding his blanket. She was wearing a red dress and had curly hair. She was rubbing the blanket on her face and saying, "Mine, mine, mine!" + +Tommy felt angry and sad. He ran to the girl and said, "No, no, no! That's my blanket! Give it back!" He tried to pull the blanket from her hands, but she held it tight. They both tugged and shouted and cried. + +Tommy's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tommy and the girl fighting over the blanket. She said, "Stop, stop, stop! What's going on here?" She took the blanket from them and looked at it. She saw a tag on the corner that said, "Tommy". She said, "This is Tommy's blanket. He loves it very much. He had it since he was a baby. You can't take it from him. That's not nice." + +The girl looked at Tommy's mom and said, "But I love it too. It's so soft and blue and has stars on it. I don't have a blanket like that. I want it. Please, please, please!" + +Tommy's mom said, "I'm sorry, but you can't have it. It belongs to Tommy. Maybe you can find another blanket that you like. Or maybe you can share something else with Tommy. Do you have a toy or a snack that you can offer him?" + +The girl thought for a moment. She said, "I have a cookie. It's spicy and sweet and has nuts on it. Do you want some, Tommy?" + +Tommy looked at the cookie. He liked cookies, but he didn't like spicy or nuts. He said, "No, thank you. I don't like spicy or nuts. But I have a juice. It's cold and fruity and has a straw. Do you want some, girl?" + +The girl looked at the juice. She liked juice, but she didn't like cold or straw. She said, "No, thank you. I don't like cold or straw. But maybe we can play together. Do you like the slide, Tommy?" + +Tommy nodded. He said, "Yes, I like the slide. It's fun and fast and makes me laugh. Do you want to go with me, girl?" + +The girl smiled. She said, "Yes, I want to go with you. It sounds fun and fast and makes me laugh too. What's your name, Tommy?" + +Tommy said, "I'm Tommy. What's your name, girl?" + +The girl said, "I'm Lily. Nice to meet you, Tommy." + +Tommy and Lily held hands and ran to the slide. They took turns sliding down and cheering each other. They felt happy and friendly. + +Tommy's mom watched them and smiled. She said, "Look, they made friends. That's nice. Maybe they can share their blanket and their cookie and their juice later. Or maybe they can find something else that they both like. That's what friends do. They share and care and play together." + +She wrapped the blanket around her shoulders and sat on the bench. She felt warm and proud and loved. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They were very wealthy and had many toys and clothes and books. But they were not happy. They always fought with each other and wanted more things. + +One day, their mom and dad told them they were going to a special event. It was a party for a charity that helped poor children. They had to dress up and behave well. Tom and Lily did not want to go. They wanted to stay home and play with their toys. + +At the party, they saw many people who smiled and talked and danced. They also saw some children who wore old and dirty clothes and had no toys. They looked sad and scared. Tom and Lily felt sorry for them. They asked their mom and dad why they were there. + +"They are here because they need our help," their mom said. "They have no home, no food, no school. They have nothing. We are here to give them some money and some hope." + +Tom and Lily thought about their big house, their toys, their clothes, their books. They thought about how they fought and wanted more things. They felt ashamed. They decided to do something nice. + +They went to the children and talked to them. They asked them their names, their ages, their dreams. They shared some of their toys and books with them. They played and laughed and hugged. They made some new friends. + +Tom and Lily felt happy. They realized they had everything they needed. They did not need more things. They needed to be kind and grateful and generous. They settled their fights and said sorry to each other. They thanked their mom and dad for taking them to the party. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to care for others. +Lily was a little girl who loved flowers. She had a garden with many colors and smells. She liked to water them and watch them grow. Her favorite flower was the rose. She thought it was very cute and smelled good. + +One day, she saw a new rose in her garden. It was small and green. It had no petals or smell. Lily was curious. She asked her mom, "What is this flower, mom?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "That is a baby rose, Lily. It is not ready to bloom yet. It needs time and care. You have to be patient and gentle with it." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will take good care of it. I want to see it bloom." + +Every day, Lily watered the baby rose and talked to it. She told it stories and sang to it. She watched it grow and change. It became bigger and redder. It started to have buds and thorns. Lily was excited and happy. + +One morning, Lily woke up and ran to her garden. She saw something amazing. The baby rose had opened its petals and showed its beauty. It was a big and bright rose. It had a sweet smell and a soft touch. Lily was amazed and proud. She said, "Wow, you are so beautiful, rose. You have risen from a small and green flower to a big and red flower. You are the cutest rose in the world." + +The rose smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are the best friend I ever had. You helped me grow and bloom. You gave me water and love. You are the kindest girl in the world." + +Lily hugged the rose and said, "You are welcome, rose. You taught me a lesson. You taught me to be patient and gentle. You taught me that everything has its time and beauty. You are the wisest flower in the world." + +The moral of the story is: Be patient and gentle with yourself and others. Everything has its time and beauty. +Tom and Mia were playing in the snow. They made a snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, look!" Mia said. "I see something in the sky. It is large and brown and has horns." + +Tom looked up and saw it too. It was a reindeer. It was flying with other reindeers and a sleigh. The sleigh had a man in a red suit and a big bag. + +"Wow!" Tom said. "It is Santa and his reindeers. They are coming to our house." + +They waved at the reindeers and the sleigh. They hoped Santa would see them and give them presents. + +The reindeer saw the children and the snowman. He liked the snowman. He wanted to say hello. He flew down and landed in front of the snowman. He sniffed the carrot nose and licked it. + +"Hello, reindeer," Mia said. "You are very large and soft. What is your name?" + +The reindeer made a sound like a bell. He nodded his head. He was happy to meet the children. + +"My name is Rudolph," he said. "I have a red nose that glows. I help Santa find the houses in the dark." + +"Rudolph, you are very special," Tom said. "We are happy to meet you. Do you want to play with us and our snowman?" + +Rudolph smiled. He liked the children. He wanted to play with them and their snowman. He nodded his head again. + +"Yes, I want to play with you," he said. "But I have to go soon. Santa is waiting for me. We have to deliver the presents to all the good children." + +"Can we have a present too?" Mia asked. + +Rudolph winked. He reached into the sleigh and took out a small box. He gave it to the children. + +"This is for you," he said. "It is a special gift from Santa. He knows you have been good and kind. He loves you very much." + +The children opened the box. Inside was a reindeer toy. It had a red nose that glowed. It looked like Rudolph. + +"Thank you, Rudolph," the children said. "We love you too. You are our friend." + +Rudolph hugged the children. He said goodbye to them and their snowman. He flew back to the sleigh. He joined the other reindeers. They flew away into the night. + +The children waved at them. They were very happy. They had a new toy and a new friend. They went inside their house. They put the toy on their bed. They fell asleep with a smile. They dreamed of Rudolph and Santa and the snow. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park when they saw dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise like a drum. It was thunder. + +"Let's go home," Lily said. "It will rain soon." + +But Tom wanted to stay. He liked to watch the lightning. He thought it was pretty and bright. + +"No, I want to see the lightning," Tom said. "It is fun." + +Lily was scared. She did not like the lightning. She thought it was scary and dangerous. + +"Please, Tom, come with me," Lily said. "The lightning can hurt us. It can break things." + +Tom did not listen. He ran to the big tree in the middle of the park. He wanted to see the lightning better. + +Lily followed him. She did not want to leave him alone. + +They reached the tree and looked up. They saw a flash of lightning. It was very close. It hit the tree. + +The tree made a loud crack. It was broken. It fell down. + +Tom and Lily were very lucky. They jumped away just in time. They were not hurt. + +But they were very scared. They cried. + +They ran to their home. They hugged their mom and dad. + +They learned a lesson. They should not play in the park when there is lightning. They should choose to be safe. +Tom and Sue were playing in the yard. They had a big box of toys and a shovel. They liked to dig holes and bury their toys. Then they would pretend to be pirates and look for treasure. + +"Look, I found a rag!" Sue said, holding up a dirty cloth. "Maybe it's a map to a secret place!" + +"Let me see!" Tom said, grabbing the rag. He tried to read the words on it, but they were too hard. "This is stupid. It's not a map, it's just a rag. I don't want it." + +He threw the rag on the ground and picked up a car. He dug a hole and buried the car. "This is better. Cars are fun." + +Sue was sad. She liked the rag. She thought it was pretty and soft. She picked it up and hugged it. "I want the rag. It's not stupid, it's nice. I will keep it." + +She dug a hole and buried the rag. She covered it with dirt and leaves. She smiled. "Now it's safe. No one can take it from me." + +Tom saw what Sue did. He was curious. He wanted to see the rag again. He ran to the hole and started to dig. "Hey, what are you doing? That's my rag!" + +He pulled the rag out of the hole. It was dirty and torn. He laughed. "This is your rag? It's ugly and old. Why do you like it?" + +He threw the rag away and ran to his box of toys. He looked for another car to bury. + +Sue was angry. She ran after Tom and pushed him. "That's my rag! You are mean and rude. Give it back!" + +She grabbed the rag and ran to the hole. She buried it again and sat on it. She cried. "You are a bad friend. You don't share. You don't care." + +Tom was surprised. He didn't understand why Sue was so upset. He liked to play with cars, not rags. He didn't mean to hurt her feelings. He felt sorry. + +He walked to the hole and sat next to Sue. He put his arm around her. "I'm sorry, Sue. I didn't know you liked the rag so much. It's yours. You can have it." + +He gave her a kiss on the cheek. He smiled. "Can we still be friends?" + +Sue looked at Tom. She saw that he was sorry. She wiped her tears. She smiled. "Yes, we can still be friends." + +She gave him a hug. She gave him the rag. "Here, you can have the rag. It's a gift. We can share." + +They both smiled. They held the rag and played together. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a shiny thing in the sand. It was gold! + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna said. "It is so amazing!" + +"Can I see?" Ben asked. He took the gold and held it in his hand. It was heavy and warm. + +"Where did it come from?" Anna wondered. "Maybe it is a treasure!" + +"Maybe it is a gift!" Ben said. "Maybe someone left it for us!" + +They were very happy. They decided to share the gold and keep it in a secret place. They hugged each other and smiled. + +"Thank you for being my friend!" Anna said. + +"Thank you for being my friend, too!" Ben said. + +They put the gold in a small box and buried it under a tree. They made a map to remember where it was. They went home and told their moms about their amazing day. They dreamed of their gold and their friendship. +Tom was a gifted boy who liked to make things with his toys. He had a big box of blocks, cars, trains, and animals. He liked to pretend that he was a hero who could rescue anyone in trouble. + +One day, he saw his little sister, Amy, crying in her room. She had spilled juice on her pants and they were all wet and sticky. She did not have any other pants to wear. + +"Tom, can you help me?" she asked. "I need new pants, but Mom is busy and Dad is not here." + +Tom thought for a moment. He had an idea. He ran to his box of toys and took out some blocks, a car, and a train. He put them together to make a pants machine. It had wheels, a funnel, and a lever. + +"Look, Amy, I made you a pants machine!" he said. "It can make any pants you want. Just put some cloth in the funnel, pull the lever, and wait for the pants to come out." + +Amy was amazed. She found some cloth in her closet and put it in the funnel. She pulled the lever and waited. Soon, a pair of pants came out of the machine. They were pink and purple, with stars and flowers on them. + +"Wow, Tom, these are the best pants ever!" she said. "Thank you for rescuing me. You are a gifted boy and a hero." + +Tom smiled. He was happy that he could help his sister. He hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Amy. I'm glad you like the pants. You are a gifted girl and a hero too." +Lily had a big bear that she loved very much. She named him Brownie and took him everywhere. She liked to talk to him and hug him and play with him. + +One day, Lily and Brownie went to the park with Mommy. They saw many flowers and trees and birds. Lily picked a pretty yellow flower and gave it to Brownie. "Here, Brownie, this is for you. You are my best friend," she said. + +Brownie smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are my best friend too. You are very kind and sweet." + +Lily was very happy. She did not know that Brownie could talk. She thought he was a magic bear. She asked him, "Brownie, can you talk to other bears too?" + +Brownie nodded and said, "Yes, I can. But I only talk to you, because you are special. You can hear me because you have a big heart." + +Lily hugged Brownie and said, "I love you, Brownie. You are a very special bear too. You have a big heart too." + +Mommy watched them and smiled. She knew that Brownie was a toy bear, but she also knew that Lily had a big imagination. She was glad that Lily had a friend who made her happy. She said, "Lily, Brownie, it's time to go home. Are you ready?" + +Lily and Brownie said, "Yes, Mommy. We are ready." They held hands and followed Mommy. They had a fun day at the park. +Ben and Lily wanted to cook something for their mom. They found some dough in the fridge and a big cookie cutter. The cookie cutter had a star shape. Ben and Lily liked stars. + +They rolled the dough on the table and cut out many stars. They put them on a tray and asked their dad to put them in the oven. They waited for a while and then smelled something good. + +"Are they ready?" Lily asked. + +"Let's check," Ben said. They put on oven mitts and opened the oven. The stars were golden and crispy. They looked yummy. + +Ben and Lily took out the tray and put it on the counter. They wanted to try one star each. But they were too hot. Ben touched one and burned his finger. He cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Ben said. + +Lily felt sorry for him. She gave him a hug and a band-aid. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. Maybe we should wait until they cool down." + +Ben nodded. He felt uncomfortable. He said, "Yeah, maybe. But they smell so good." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Don't worry. We can share them with mom later. She will love them. And she will love us too." + +Ben smiled back. He said, "You're right, Lily. You're the best sister ever." + +They hugged each other and waited for their mom to come home. They were proud of their star cookies. They hoped mom would like them too. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with yellow leaves. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go up the hill!" Tom said. + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. The hill is steep and the leaves are slippery," Lily said. + +They held hands and started to climb the hill. They stepped on the leaves and heard them crunch. They saw a squirrel and a bird. They were almost at the top when Tom slipped and fell. He rolled down the hill and landed on a rock. He hurt his knee and his boot. He cried out loud. + +"Lily, Lily, help me! I fell and I'm hurt!" Tom said. + +Lily heard Tom and ran down the hill. She was scared and worried. She saw Tom on the ground with a red knee and a torn boot. She hugged him and said, "Oh, Tom, I'm sorry. You fell and you're hurt. Let me see your knee and your boot." + +She looked at his knee and saw a small cut. She looked at his boot and saw a big hole. She said, "Your knee is not too bad. It will heal soon. But your boot is troubled. It has a hole and you can see your sock. We need to get you a new boot." + +Tom stopped crying and said, "Thank you, Lily. You're a good friend. You helped me when I fell and you're hurt. But I like my boot. It's my favorite boot. I don't want a new boot." + +Lily smiled and said, "I know, Tom. I like your boot too. It's a nice boot. But maybe we can fix your boot. Maybe we can sew the hole or put a patch on it. Then your boot will be good as new." + +Tom liked that idea. He said, "Yes, Lily. Let's fix my boot. Then we can play again. But maybe not on the hill. The hill is too steep and the leaves are too slippery." + +Lily agreed. She said, "Yes, Tom. Let's play somewhere else. Maybe on the swing or the slide. They are fun and safe." + +They got up and walked to the swing and the slide. They played and laughed and forgot about the hill and the fall and the boot. They were happy and they were friends. +Tom and Anna like to play shop. They have a table, some toys and some paper money. They take turns to be the shopkeeper and the customer. Tom is the shopkeeper today. He puts some toys on the table and says, "Welcome to my shop! What do you want to buy?" + +Anna looks at the toys and sees a doll, a car, a ball and a book. She likes the doll. She says, "I want to buy the doll. How much is it?" + +Tom looks at the doll and thinks. He wants to sell it for a lot of money. He says, "The doll is very smart. It can talk and sing and dance. It is ten paper money." + +Anna thinks that is too much. She says, "That is too much. I only have five paper money. Can you sell it for less?" + +Tom shakes his head. He says, "No, I can't. The doll is very smart. It is worth ten paper money. You can buy something else." + +Anna is sad. She really wants the doll. She looks at the other toys and sees the book. She likes the book. She says, "What about the book? How much is the book?" + +Tom looks at the book and thinks. He does not like the book. He says, "The book is very boring. It has no pictures and no stories. It is one paper money." + +Anna is happy. She says, "I will buy the book. Here is one paper money. Thank you." + +Tom takes the paper money and gives Anna the book. He says, "Thank you for buying from my shop. Come again soon." + +Anna smiles and says, "Thank you for selling me the book. I will read it later." + +She walks away with the book and the doll. She is very smart. She knows that Tom did not look at the book carefully. The book has a secret. It is a magic book. It can make any toy come to life. Anna can make the doll talk and sing and dance with the book. She only paid one paper money for it. She got a good deal. She is very happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom asked them to make some toast for breakfast. She gave them a knife, a plate, and a jar of butter. + +Ben and Lily took turns to put bread in the toaster and wait for it to pop. Then they tried to spread butter on the toast, but it was hard and cold. They pushed and pulled the knife, but the butter did not move. + +"Mom, the butter is too hard!" Ben said. + +"Can you make it soft, mom?" Lily asked. + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, I can. You need to spend some time to warm it up. Watch me." She took the jar of butter and put it in the microwave. She pressed some buttons and waited for a beep. Then she took out the jar and opened it. The butter was soft and shiny. + +"Wow, mom, you are mighty!" Ben said. + +"Can we try, mom?" Lily said. + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But be careful, the jar is hot. Use a spoon to take some butter and put it on your toast. Then you can eat it. It will be yummy." + +Ben and Lily did as mom said. They used a spoon to take some butter and put it on their toast. They took a bite and smiled. The toast was warm and crispy, and the butter was smooth and tasty. + +"Thank you, mom!" Ben and Lily said. + +"You're welcome, my loves!" mom said. "You did a great job helping me in the kitchen. I'm proud of you." +Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found rocks, sometimes they found coins, sometimes they found nothing. + +One day, they found something very shiny and hard. It was a mineral. Lily and Ben did not know what a mineral was, but they liked how it sparkled in the sun. They decided to keep it and show it to their mom. + +But then they started to fight over who found it first and who could hold it. Lily said, "It's mine, I saw it first!" Ben said, "No, it's mine, I dug it out!" They pulled and tugged and yelled at each other. + +Their mom heard them and came outside. She saw them fighting over the mineral. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, you two! You are being very spoiled and rude. You should share and be nice to each other. Give me that mineral right now!" + +Lily and Ben did not want to give up the mineral. They said, "No, mom, it's ours, we found it!" They tried to hide it behind their backs. But their mom was faster and smarter. She grabbed the mineral from them and said, "That's it, you are in big trouble. You are going to your rooms and you are not getting any dessert tonight. And you are not keeping this mineral. I'm going to throw it away." + +Lily and Ben cried and begged and said they were sorry. But their mom did not listen. She took them to their rooms and locked the doors. Then she went to the trash can and threw away the mineral. She did not know that it was a very rare and valuable mineral that was worth a lot of money. She just thought it was a piece of junk. + +Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They had lost their mineral and their dessert and their mom's love. They wished they had shared and been nice to each other. But it was too late. They had spoiled everything. The end. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big red wagon with many toys inside. They want to play with the toys, but the wagon is too heavy for them to push. + +"Let's pull the wagon," Lily says. "You pull one side and I pull the other side." + +"OK," Ben says. They grab the handles of the wagon and start to pull. They pull and pull, but the wagon does not move. + +"It's too hard," Ben says. He feels his lungs hurt from pulling so much. He lets go of the handle and sits on the grass. + +Lily does not give up. She pulls harder and harder, but the wagon still does not move. She feels her lungs hurt too. She also lets go of the handle and sits next to Ben. + +They are both sad and tired. They look at the toys in the wagon and wish they could play with them. + +Suddenly, they hear a voice behind them. + +"Hi, kids. Do you want to play with my toys?" The voice belongs to a boy who is holding a leash. He has a big dog with him. The dog is brown and fluffy and has a wet nose. + +"Yes, please," Lily and Ben say. They smile and get up from the grass. + +The boy smiles too. He walks to the wagon and pulls it easily. He has strong arms and legs. He says, "My name is Sam and this is my dog, Max. You can play with any toy you want. I have a lot of them." + +"Thank you, Sam," Lily and Ben say. They follow him and Max to the wagon. They see many toys inside. There are balls, cars, dolls, books, and more. They pick the toys they like and start to play. + +They have a lot of fun. They play with Sam and Max. They share the toys and laugh. They also give Max some treats. Max likes the treats. He thinks they are tasty. He wags his tail and licks their faces. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They make a new friend and play with new toys. They forget about their lungs hurting. They think Sam and Max are very nice. They think the park is a wonderful place. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they always wanted more. One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It had a tag that said "For Ben and Lily, from Grandma and Grandpa". + +"What is in the box?" Ben asked. + +"Let's open it and see!" Lily said. + +They ran to the box and tore the paper. Inside, they found two soft bears. One was brown and one was white. They had ribbons around their necks and buttons for eyes. + +"They are so cute!" Lily said. She picked up the white bear and hugged it. + +"I want the white bear!" Ben said. He grabbed the bear from Lily and pulled it. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She pulled the bear back. + +They both shouted and tugged at the bear. The bear ripped in half. The stuffing came out and the button eyes fell off. Ben and Lily stared at the broken bear. They felt sad and sorry. + +Just then, their mom came in. She saw the mess and the tears on their faces. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +"Ben and Lily told her what they did. They said they were sorry. + +Mom sighed. She said, "You should have shared the bear. Grandma and Grandpa gave you both a bear, but you only cared about yourself. Now you have no bear at all. That is not how you treat a gift or a sibling. You should be kind and grateful." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They picked up the brown bear and the pieces of the white bear. They decided to fix the white bear together and share both bears. They learned their lesson. They thanked Grandma and Grandpa for the bears and wrote them a card. They also thanked Mom for helping them. They played with their bears happily and never fought over them again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a big jar to keep the bugs in. + +"Look, Ben, I found a worm!" Lily said. She picked up the worm and put it in the jar. + +"Wow, Lily, that's a long worm!" Ben said. He wanted to find a worm too. He dug deeper and deeper. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She sounded angry. + +"Ben! Lily! Hurry inside! It's time for lunch!" she shouted. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not want to leave their bugs. But they knew their mom was harsh. She did not like it when they were late. + +"OK, mom, we're coming!" Ben said. He grabbed the jar and ran to the door. + +"Wait for me, Ben!" Lily said. She followed him. She hoped their mom would let them play with their bugs later. +Sara was sick. She had a cough and a fever. She did not want to play with her toys or watch TV. She only wanted to sleep in her bed. + +Her mom came to her room with a spoon and a bottle. "Sara, you need to take your medicine. It will make you feel better," her mom said. + +Sara shook her head. She did not like the medicine. It was bitter and made her face scrunch up. "No, mom, no medicine. I don't want it," she said. + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "I know, sweetie, but it is good for you. How about this? If you take your medicine, you can join me and dad for a story. We are going to read your favorite book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Don't you want to hear what he eats next?" + +Sara thought for a moment. She loved that book. She wanted to know what the caterpillar ate next. She wanted to join her mom and dad for a story. Maybe the medicine was not so bad. + +"Okay, mom, I will take the medicine. But only a little bit," she said. + +Her mom nodded and poured some medicine on the spoon. She helped Sara open her mouth and put the spoon in. Sara swallowed the medicine and made a face. "Blech! That is yucky!" she said. + +Her mom gave her a glass of water and a kiss. "You did great, Sara. I'm proud of you. And I'm sorry you are sick. I hope you feel better soon," she said. + +Sara smiled and hugged her mom. "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can we go for the story now?" she asked. + +Her mom nodded and took her hand. "Yes, let's go. Dad is waiting for us in the living room. Come on, let's join him," she said. + +They walked to the living room, where dad was holding the book. He smiled when he saw them. "Hello, Sara. Are you ready for the story?" he asked. + +Sara nodded and climbed on the couch. She snuggled between her mom and dad. They opened the book and started to read. Sara listened and looked at the pictures. She forgot about her cough and her fever. She only thought about the caterpillar and his big appetite. She was happy to join her mom and dad for the story. She felt a little better. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings. They go fast and high. They laugh and have fun. + +One day, they see a pretty balloon. It is red and shiny. It flies in the sky. They want the balloon. They jump off the swings and run after it. They do not look where they are going. + +"Stop!" says Mom. "There is traffic!" But Lily and Ben do not hear her. They are too excited. They cross the street. They do not see the car. The car does not see them. + +Bam! The car hits Lily and Ben. They fall down. They are hurt. They cry. The balloon flies away. Mom runs to them. She is scared and sad. She calls for help. + +Lily and Ben go to the hospital. They have broken bones and bruises. They are in pain. They are sorry. They wish they had listened to Mom. They learn a lesson. They should always be careful and obey the rules. Swinging is fun, but safety is more important. +Sam and Ben are best friends. They like to play with cars and balls and blocks. One day, they find a big lock on a door. They wonder what is behind the door. + +"Maybe there are toys or candy or books," Sam says. + +"Or maybe there is a monster or a ghost or a witch," Ben says. + +They are both curious and scared. They want to open the door, but they do not have a key. They look around and see a bell on a string. They think maybe the bell can ring and someone can help them. + +"Let's pull the string and ring the bell," Sam says. + +"OK, but you go first," Ben says. + +Sam is brave and loyal. He does not want to leave Ben alone. He pulls the string and the bell rings loud and clear. They hear footsteps and a voice. + +"Who is there? Who is ringing the bell?" the voice says. + +Sam and Ben are nervous. They do not know who the voice is. They hold hands and wait. The door opens and they see a nice lady with a smile. She is not a monster or a ghost or a witch. She is a teacher. + +"Hello, boys. What are you doing here?" the teacher says. + +"We are sorry, miss. We just wanted to see what is behind the door," Sam says. + +"This is my classroom. I teach music and art here. Do you like music and art?" the teacher says. + +Sam and Ben nod. They like music and art. They see guitars and drums and paints and brushes in the room. + +"Would you like to come in and try some of them?" the teacher says. + +Sam and Ben smile. They are happy and excited. They forget about the lock and the bell. They follow the teacher into the room. They make music and art with her. They have fun and learn new things. They are glad they rang the bell. They make a new friend. +Lily and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play in their bedroom. Their bedroom had white walls, white curtains and white toys. They thought white was a pretty color. + +One day, their mom said, "Lily and Tom, you have to clean your bedroom. It is very messy. Put your toys in the box and make your bed." Lily and Tom did not want to clean. They wanted to play. They said, "Mom, can we clean later? We are having fun." Mom said, "No, you have to clean now. If you don't, you will not get any dessert after dinner." + +Lily and Tom were sad. They hoped mom would change her mind. They hoped she would forget about the dessert. They hoped she would not be angry. But they did not clean their bedroom. They kept playing with their toys. They made more mess. + +Mom came back to check on them. She saw the messy bedroom. She saw the toys on the floor, on the bed, on the window. She saw the white walls, white curtains and white toys covered with dirt, dust and crayon marks. She was very angry. She said, "Lily and Tom, you did not listen to me. You did not clean your bedroom. You made it worse. Now you will not get any dessert. And you will not play with your toys for a week. Go to bed right now." + +Lily and Tom were very sad. They cried. They said, "Mom, we are sorry. We did not mean to make you angry. We love you. Please forgive us. Please give us dessert. Please let us play with our toys." Mom said, "No, you have to learn your lesson. You have to obey me. You have to respect your things. You have to be responsible. Maybe next time you will do better. Good night." + +Lily and Tom went to bed. They did not sleep well. They felt bad. They wished they had cleaned their bedroom. They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had not been selfish. They learned their lesson. They decided to be good children from now on. + +The moral of the story is: You should listen to your parents and do what they tell you. You should take care of your things and keep them clean. You should not be selfish and lazy. You should be responsible and respectful. If you don't, you will face the consequences and feel sorry. +Anna liked to play with her big red ball. She would bounce it and kick it and roll it. One day, she saw a shiny thing on the street. It was a small bottle with a label that said "Shrink". Anna was curious. She opened the bottle and smelled it. It smelled like candy. She drank some of the liquid. + +Suddenly, Anna felt very strange. She looked at her ball and it seemed very big. She looked at her house and it seemed very far. She looked at herself and she was very small. She had shrunk! She was scared. She wanted her mom and dad. She tried to run to her house, but it was too hard. She saw a big dog barking at her. She saw a big car coming fast. She saw a big bird flying low. She hid behind a mailbox. + +She hoped someone would find her and help her. She hoped the liquid would wear off and she would grow back. She was very sorry she drank the bottle. She wished she had played with her ball instead. But no one saw her. No one heard her. No one helped her. The dog sniffed her and grabbed her. The car ran over her. The bird swooped down and ate her. Anna was gone. +Anna was a humble princess who liked to help people. She did not care about fancy dresses or jewels. She only wanted to make her kingdom happy. One day, she heard a loud noise outside her castle. She ran to the window and saw a big dragon. The dragon was angry and hungry. It breathed fire and smoke at the houses and farms. + +"Oh no!" Anna said. "The dragon is hurting my people. I have to stop it." + +She put on a coat and a hat and took a basket of food. She went outside and walked towards the dragon. The dragon saw her and roared. It opened its mouth to eat her. But Anna was not afraid. She smiled and said, "Hello, dragon. I am Anna, the princess. I am not here to fight you. I am here to help you. You look hungry and tired. Would you like some food?" + +The dragon was surprised. It had never met a princess who was so kind and brave. It sniffed the food and licked its lips. It nodded and said, "Yes, please. I am hungry and tired. I have been flying for a long time. I could not find a home. I am sorry for hurting your people. I did not mean to." + +Anna gave the dragon some bread and cheese and fruit. She also gave it some water. The dragon ate and drank and felt better. It thanked Anna and said, "You are a good princess. You have a big heart. I am sorry for being mean to you. Can we be friends?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, we can be friends. I am glad you are feeling better. But you cannot stay here. This is not your home. You need to find a place where you can be happy and free. Do you know where to go?" + +The dragon thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I do. There is a mountain far away. It has a cave and a lake and a forest. It is a good place for a dragon. I will go there and make it my home. But I will always remember you, Anna. You are the best friend I ever had." + +Anna hugged the dragon and said, "I will always remember you, too, dragon. You are the best friend I ever had. Goodbye and good luck." + +The dragon lifted its wings and flew away. It waved at Anna and said, "Goodbye and thank you." + +Anna waved back and said, "Goodbye and you're welcome." + +She watched the dragon disappear in the sky. She felt happy and proud. She had saved her people and made a new friend. She had shown that a humble princess can do great things. She went back to her castle and told her story to everyone. They all cheered and praised her. They said she was the best princess ever. And they all lived happily ever after. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big bush with red berries on it. They wondered if the berries were good to eat. + +"Let's try them," Tom said. "They look yummy." + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe they are bad for us." + +"Don't be scared," Tom said. "We are brave. We can discover new things." + +He picked a berry and put it in his mouth. He smiled and said, "Mmm, they are sweet and juicy. Try one, Lily." + +Lily was curious and wanted to be brave too. She picked a berry and ate it. She also smiled and said, "You are right, Tom. They are good." + +They ate more and more berries, until their mouths and hands were red. They felt happy and proud of their discovery. + +But soon, they started to feel sick. Their tummies hurt and they felt dizzy. They realized they had eaten too many berries, and maybe the berries were not good for them after all. + +They tried to call for help, but no one heard them. They lay down on the ground, hoping someone would find them. But no one came. They closed their eyes and never woke up again. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +Tom's mom makes sandwiches for them. She puts cheese and ham and lettuce in them. She puts them in a bag and gives them to Tom. She says, "Take these to the park and share with Sam. They are tasty sandwiches. Be careful and don't lose them." + +Tom says, "Thank you, mom. I will share with Sam. We love tasty sandwiches." He puts the bag in his backpack and goes to the park. + +Tom and Sam play with the ball and the kite. They are hungry. Tom says, "Let's eat the sandwiches. They are tasty." He opens his backpack and looks for the bag. But he can't find it. He says, "Oh no! Where is the bag? I can't find the sandwiches." + +Sam says, "Did you lose the bag? Did you forget it at home? I'm hungry. I want a sandwich." + +Tom says, "I don't know. I put the bag in my backpack. Maybe it fell out. Maybe someone took it. I'm sorry, Sam. I don't have the sandwiches." + +Sam is angry. He says, "You are a bad friend. You lost the sandwiches. You don't share with me. I don't want to play with you anymore." He takes the ball and the kite and runs away. + +Tom is sad. He cries. He has no sandwiches. He has no friend. He has no fun. He wishes he was more careful. He wishes he could find the bag. He wishes he could say sorry to Sam. He wishes he could have a tasty sandwich. +Tom and Lily were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They had to pack their luggage with clothes and toys. Tom wanted to bring his big truck, but Mom said it was too big. Lily wanted to bring her doll, but Dad said it was too dirty. They had to choose smaller and cleaner things to put in their luggage. + +They zipped their luggage and went to the car. Mom and Dad put the luggage in the trunk. Tom and Lily got in the back seat. They were excited to go on the trip. They asked Mom and Dad where they were going. Mom and Dad said it was a surprise. + +They drove for a long time. They saw trees and houses and cows and birds. They sang songs and played games. They ate snacks and drank juice. They were happy. + +Then they saw a big bridge. It was very high and long. It crossed a big river. Tom and Lily had never seen a bridge like that. They felt fearful. They did not want to go on the bridge. + +"Mom, Dad, I don't like the bridge. It is scary. Can we go another way?" Tom said. + +"Lily, Tom, the bridge is not scary. It is safe and strong. We have to go on the bridge to get to our surprise. Trust us. It will be fun." Mom said. + +"But Mom, Dad, what if the bridge breaks? What if we fall in the water? What if there are sharks?" Lily said. + +"Sweeties, the bridge will not break. We will not fall in the water. There are no sharks. Just look at the sky and the clouds. They are beautiful. And think of the surprise. It will be amazing." Dad said. + +Tom and Lily tried to be brave. They held hands and closed their eyes. They felt the car go on the bridge. They heard the wind and the water. They felt the car go up and down. They felt fearful. + +But then they felt the car go off the bridge. They opened their eyes. They saw a big sign. It said: Welcome to the Zoo. They saw animals and people and balloons. They felt happy. + +"Mom, Dad, is this the surprise? Are we going to the zoo?" Tom said. + +"Yes, sweeties, this is the surprise. We are going to the zoo. We are going to see lions and tigers and bears and monkeys and elephants and giraffes and more. We are going to have a lot of fun." Mom said. + +"Wow, Mom, Dad, this is the best surprise ever. Thank you. We love you." Lily said. + +They hugged Mom and Dad. They got out of the car. They took their luggage. They zipped their jackets. They went to the zoo. They were not fearful anymore. They were excited. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play pirates. They had a big box that they pretended was their ship. They put some toys and books inside the box and called them their treasure. They wanted to sail to a new island and find more treasure. + +One day, they saw a dark cave near their house. They thought it might have some hidden treasure inside. They decided to load their box with their treasure and drag it to the cave. They put on some hats and scarves and said, "Arr, mateys, let's go explore the cave!" + +They reached the cave and pushed their box inside. It was very dark and cold. They could not see anything. They heard some strange noises and felt some wet things on the floor. They were scared. They wanted to go back to their house. + +They tried to pull their box out of the cave, but it was too heavy. They had loaded it with too much treasure. They could not move it. They cried for help, but no one heard them. They were stuck in the cave with their treasure. They wished they had not been so greedy. They wished they had stayed at home and played with their toys and books. They were very sad and sorry. +Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to look at the ornaments on the shelf. There were shiny balls, funny animals and pretty stars. But there was one ornament that Lily did not like. It was a big spider with long legs and red eyes. Lily thought it was scary. + +"Tom, why do we have that spider?" Lily asked. "It makes me feel bad." + +Tom shrugged. "I don't know. Mommy said it was a gift from Aunt Jane. She likes spiders." + +Lily frowned. "I don't like spiders. They are creepy and icky. Can we hide it somewhere?" + +Tom nodded. "Okay. Let's put it in the closet. Maybe Mommy won't notice." + +They took the spider ornament and ran to the closet. They opened the door and threw the spider inside. Then they closed the door and smiled. + +"There. Now we don't have to see it anymore," Tom said. + +Lily hugged Tom. "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother." + +They went back to the living room and played with the other ornaments. They were happy and forgot about the spider. + +But they did not know that the spider was not a real ornament. It was a toy that could move and make noises. It did not like to be in the closet. It wanted to get out and explore. It crawled to the door and pushed it open. Then it scurried out and looked for a new place to settle. It saw the shiny balls, the funny animals and the pretty stars. It decided to join them on the shelf. It climbed up and sat next to a star. It blinked its red eyes and waited for someone to notice it. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Lily has a new note. It is pink and shiny. It has a heart on it. Lily loves her note. + +"Look, Tom, this is my note. It is pretty. Do you like it?" Lily asks. + +Tom nods. He likes the note too. He wants to touch it. He reaches for the note. + +"Can I hold it, Lily? Please?" Tom asks. + +Lily shakes her head. She does not want to share her note. She holds it tight. + +"No, Tom, this is my note. You cannot hold it. It is mine." Lily says. + +Tom feels sad. He does not like when Lily does not share. He thinks Lily is not nice. + +"Please, Lily, just for a little bit. I will be careful. I will give it back." Tom says. + +Lily still shakes her head. She does not allow Tom to hold her note. She turns away from Tom. + +"Go away, Tom. Find your own note. This is my note." Lily says. + +Tom feels very sad. He does not want to play with Lily anymore. He walks away from Lily. He finds another friend. His name is Ben. Ben has a blue note. It has a star on it. Ben likes his note. + +"Hi, Tom, do you want to see my note? It is cool. It has a star on it." Ben says. + +Tom smiles. He likes the note. He likes Ben. + +"Hi, Ben, yes, I want to see your note. It is very cool. Can I hold it?" Tom asks. + +Ben nods. He is happy to share his note. He gives it to Tom. + +"Sure, Tom, you can hold it. You are my friend. Friends share." Ben says. + +Tom feels happy. He holds the note. He thanks Ben. He gives it back. He and Ben play with their notes. They have fun. They are happy. + +Lily sees Tom and Ben. She sees them playing with their notes. She sees them smiling and laughing. She feels lonely. She wishes she had a friend. She looks at her note. It is not fun anymore. She wishes she had shared it with Tom. She thinks she was not nice. She feels sorry. + +She walks to Tom and Ben. She holds her note. + +"Hi, Tom, hi, Ben, can I play with you? I am sorry I did not share my note. It was not nice. Can we be friends?" Lily asks. + +Tom and Ben look at Lily. They see her note. They see her face. They feel kind. + +"Hi, Lily, yes, you can play with us. We are sorry we left you. It was not nice. We can be friends." Tom and Ben say. + +They take Lily's note. They hold it. They give it back. They play with their notes. They have fun. They are happy. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like monkeys, lions, and elephants. They liked to watch them and learn their names. + +Then they came to the leopard cage. The leopard was big and had spots. It looked at Ben and Lily with its yellow eyes. Ben wanted to get closer, but Lily was scared. + +"Look, Lily, the leopard is so cool!" Ben said. "I want to sit on it and ride it like a horse." + +"No, Ben, that's a bad idea!" Lily said. "The leopard is not a horse, it is a wild animal. It can bite you and hurt you. Mom said we have to stay away from the cage." + +But Ben did not listen. He climbed over the fence and ran towards the leopard. The leopard saw him and growled. It did not like Ben. It was angry and hungry. + +"Ben, come back!" Lily shouted. "The leopard is weird and mean. It will attack you!" + +Mom heard Lily and saw Ben. She was very scared and angry too. She ran after Ben and grabbed him. She pulled him back over the fence and hugged him. + +"Ben, what were you thinking?" Mom said. "You could have been killed by the leopard. That was very naughty and dangerous. You have to listen to me and Lily. We love you and we want you to be safe." + +Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he made a big mistake. He said sorry to Mom and Lily. He said sorry to the leopard too. He learned his lesson. He never tried to sit on a leopard again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big hill with a path. They wanted to go up and see what was there. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"OK, Ben, but be careful. The hill is very high and the path is very narrow. We have to mind our steps and not fall." Lily said. + +They held hands and started to climb. The path was twisty and bumpy. They saw some birds, some flowers and some rocks. They were happy and curious. + +But when they reached the top, they saw something scary. It was a big, black dog with sharp teeth and red eyes. It was growling and barking at them. It looked angry and hungry. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouted. "The dog is bad and wants to bite us!" + +They turned around and ran down the hill as fast as they could. The dog chased them and snapped at their heels. They were scared and cried. + +They reached the bottom and ran to their mom. She hugged them and comforted them. She saw the dog and shooed it away with a stick. She was brave and strong. + +"Are you OK, my darlings?" she asked. "What happened?" + +"We saw a scary dog, mom. It was big and black and mean. It wanted to hurt us. We ran away and came to you." Lily said. + +"We were minding our way, mom. But the dog was not. It was bad and rude. We don't like it." Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, my loves. You did well to run away and come to me. The dog was not nice and not safe. You have to be careful and stay away from it. Next time, we will play somewhere else. OK?" mom said. + +"OK, mom. Thank you for saving us. We love you." Lily and Ben said. + +They hugged their mom and felt better. They learned a lesson and had a story to tell. They were brave and smart. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big gate at the end of the garden. The gate was brown and old and had a lock on it. + +"What is behind the gate?" Ben asked. He was curious. He wanted to see what was there. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it is a secret. Maybe we should not go there." + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the gate and tried to open it. He pulled and pushed and kicked. But the gate did not move. It was too strong. + +Lily followed him. She was scared. She did not want to get in trouble. She tried to stop him. + +"Ben, stop it!" she said. "You will hurt yourself. You will make noise. Mom and dad will be angry." + +But Ben did not listen. He was stubborn. He wanted to open the gate. He found a stick and hit the lock. He hit it hard and loud. + +"Bang! Bang! Bang!" + +Lily was very scared. She slapped Ben on the arm. She wanted him to stop. + +"Ow!" Ben said. He dropped the stick. He looked at Lily. He was angry. He slapped her back. + +"Ow!" Lily said. She started to cry. She ran away from the gate. She ran to the house. + +Ben felt bad. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He was sorry. He ran after her. He wanted to say sorry. + +But it was too late. Mom and dad heard the noise. They came out of the house. They saw the gate. They saw the stick. They saw Ben and Lily. + +They were not happy. They were very angry. They scolded Ben and Lily. They sent them to their rooms. They said they could not play in the garden for a week. + +Ben and Lily were sad. They wished they had not gone to the gate. They wished they had listened to each other. They wished they had not slapped each other. + +They learned their lesson. They said sorry to each other. They said sorry to mom and dad. They hugged and made up. + +They decided to be good. They decided to be careful. They decided to be kind. + +They waited for the week to end. They hoped to play in the garden again. They hoped to have fun again. + +They wondered what was behind the gate. But they did not try to find out. They were not curious anymore. They were happy. +Sara and Ben were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to make up stories and act them out. Sara had a pink doll with long hair and a dress. Ben had a blue doll with a hat and a coat. + +"Let's pretend they are going to a party," Sara said. "They need to sign their names on a card for the birthday girl." + +"OK," Ben said. "But my doll can't sign yet. He is too little. He only knows how to draw." + +"That's OK," Sara said. "He can draw something nice for the birthday girl. Maybe a flower or a star." + +Sara and Ben took a piece of paper and a crayon. Sara wrote her name in big letters. Ben drew a flower with many petals. He tried to be very careful, because the flower was delicate. He did not want to break it. + +"Look, we are done," Sara said. "Now we can go to the party. Where is the party?" + +Ben looked around.
