It was yellow and brown and had a big mane. + +She showed the picture to her brother Ben. "Look, Ben, this is a lion. It is a powerful animal. It can roar and run and hunt," she said. + +Ben looked at the picture. He was not impressed. "That is not a powerful animal. That is a silly animal. It has too much hair and a funny nose. I can print a better animal," he said. + +He took the book and the printer. He looked for an animal that he liked. He found a picture of a shark. It was gray and white and had many teeth. He printed a picture of a shark. It was bigger than the lion. + +He showed the picture to Lily. "Look, Lily, this is a shark. It is a powerful animal. It can swim and bite and scare," he said. + +Lily looked at the picture. She was not scared. She was curious. "That is a powerful animal. But it is also a wet animal. It lives in the water. How can it breathe? How can it play?" she asked. + +Ben did not know how to answer. He thought for a moment. He said, "I don't know. But I know it is more powerful than a lion." + +Lily did not agree. She said, "I don't think so. I think a lion and a shark are both powerful in different ways. And I think they are both beautiful. Can we print more animals and learn about them?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "OK. Let's print more animals and learn about them. But I still like the shark more than the lion." + +Lily smiled. She said, "And I still like the lion more than the shark. But I like you more than both of them." + +They hugged and printed more animals. They had fun and learned a lot. +Tim and Lily were playing with crayons and paper. They liked to draw different things, like animals, flowers and cars. They shared their crayons and paper and had fun. + +But then, Tim saw a big red crayon that Lily had. He wanted it very much. He asked Lily, "Can I have the red crayon, please?" + +Lily said, "No, Tim. This is my red crayon. You have your own crayons. You can use the yellow or the blue or the green." + +Tim was angry. He did not want the other crayons. He only wanted the red one. He said, "Give me the red crayon, now!" + +Lily said, "No, Tim. You are being mean. You have to share and be nice." + +Tim did not listen. He grabbed the red crayon from Lily's hand. Lily cried. She said, "Tim, you are a bad friend. You hurt me and took my crayon. That is not fair." + +Tim did not care. He was happy with the red crayon. He started to draw on the paper. But he drew too hard. The red crayon broke in half. Tim was sad. He said, "Oh no, the red crayon is broken. Now I can't draw with it." + +Lily saw what happened. She felt sorry for Tim. She said, "Tim, I'm sorry your crayon is broken. Do you want to use my other crayons? I have many colors. We can share and draw together." + +Tim looked at Lily. He felt sorry too. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry I was mean to you. I should not have taken your crayon. That was wrong. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, Tim. I forgive you. You are my friend. Friends make mistakes, but they also say sorry and help each other." + +Tim and Lily hugged. They used their crayons and paper and drew beautiful pictures. They were happy and learned a lesson. They learned that sharing is caring and that refusing to share can make you lose more than you gain. +Lily and Ben wanted to bake a cake for Mom. They found a big bowl, some eggs, some flour and some sugar in the kitchen. They mixed everything together and poured it into a pan. They put the pan in the oven and turned it on. + +"Mom will love our cake!" Lily said. + +"Yes, she will!" Ben said. + +They waited for a while, but they did not know how long to bake the cake. They did not look at the clock or the oven. They played with their toys and forgot about the cake. + +Soon, they smelled something bad. They saw smoke coming out of the oven. They heard a loud beep. + +"Fire! Fire!" Lily screamed. + +"Help! Help!" Ben cried. + +Mom ran into the kitchen and saw the fire. She grabbed a towel and opened the oven. She threw the towel over the pan and turned off the oven. She coughed and waved her hand to clear the smoke. + +"What were you doing?" Mom asked. + +"We wanted to bake a cake for you!" Lily said. + +"But you did not ask me or follow a recipe!" Mom said. "You could have burned the house down!" + +She hugged Lily and Ben and told them she was glad they were safe. But she was also very angry and sad. She threw the burned cake in the trash. + +The cake was not amazing. It was a big mess. Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They did not bake a cake for Mom. They made a fire. +Anna and Ben were twins who loved to decorate their room. They had many toys, books, and pictures that they liked to arrange on their shelves, walls, and bed. They thought their room was a luxury, because it was big and cozy and had a window that showed the garden. + +One day, their mom brought home a surprise for them. It was a big box with a bow on top. She said, "This is a gift for you, my adorable children. You can open it together and see what's inside." + +Anna and Ben were very excited. They thanked their mom and ran to their room with the box. They tore off the bow and the paper and lifted the lid. Inside, they saw a fluffy white kitten with blue eyes and a pink collar. It was the cutest thing they had ever seen. + +"Wow!" Anna said. "A kitten! Mom, can we keep it?" + +"Of course, my dear," mom said. "She is yours. I found her at the shelter and she needed a home. I thought you would love her. Her name is Snowy." + +"Snowy!" Ben repeated. "We love her, mom. Thank you so much!" + +Anna and Ben hugged their mom and then cuddled their new kitten. They decided to make a special place for her in their room. They used a basket, a blanket, a pillow, and some toys to decorate a cozy bed for Snowy. They put it next to their own bed, so they could watch her sleep and play. + +They were very happy with their gift. They thought Snowy was a luxury, because she was soft and sweet and made them laugh. They thought their room was even more adorable, because it had a new friend in it. They thanked their mom again and gave her a kiss. Then they snuggled with Snowy and fell asleep, dreaming of their wonderful room. +One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers and trees and birds. They also saw some bees flying around a big hive. + +"Look, mom, bees!" Lily said. "They make honey, right?" + +"Yes, they do," mom said. "But don't go too close to them. They might sting you if they feel scared." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They liked honey, but they did not like stings. They played on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They had a lot of fun. + +Then, Tom saw a yellow flower near the hive. He thought it was pretty. He wanted to pick it and give it to mom. + +"Tom, no!" Lily shouted. "That's too close to the bees!" + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the flower and tried to pull it out of the ground. But the flower was not a flower. It was a bee! + +"Ouch!" Tom cried. "It bit me!" + +Tom dropped the bee and ran back to mom. Mom hugged him and checked his hand. He had a red bump on his finger. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," mom said. "That was a silly mistake. You should never pull a bee. It's not a flower. It's an animal. And it can hurt you." + +Tom nodded. He felt sorry too. He learned his lesson. He said sorry to the bee and to Lily. He also said thank you to mom for making him feel better. + +Lily gave him a kiss and a hug. She was glad he was okay. She also gave him some of her honey sandwich. She said it would help him heal. + +Tom smiled. He was happy to have a nice mom and a nice sister. He also liked honey. But he did not like bees. He decided to leave them alone. He said they could keep their flowers. He would find some other ones. Ones that did not bite. +Jenny liked to sing. She sang every day, in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang to her toys, to her mom, to her dad, and to her dog. She sang happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. She sang loud and soft, fast and slow, high and low. + +One day, Jenny and her mom went to the shelter. The shelter was a big place where many animals lived. Some animals were cats, some were dogs, some were birds, and some were rabbits. They all needed a home and a family. Jenny and her mom wanted to help them. + +Jenny saw a small bird in a cage. The bird was gray and white, with a yellow beak and a red spot on its head. The bird looked sad and scared. Jenny wanted to make the bird happy. She went to the cage and said, "Hello, bird. I am Jenny. Do you want to sing with me?" + +The bird did not answer. It did not look at Jenny. It did not move. It did not sing. + +Jenny was confused. She tried again. She sang a song to the bird. She sang, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky." + +The bird did not sing. It did not join Jenny. It did not care. + +Jenny was sad. She said, "Why don't you sing, bird? Singing is fun. Singing is good. Singing makes you happy. Don't you want to be happy?" + +The bird did not say anything. It was ignorant. It did not know how to sing. It did not know how to be happy. It did not know how to love. + +Jenny's mom came to Jenny. She said, "Jenny, it's time to go. We have to leave the shelter. Maybe we can come back another day." + +Jenny nodded. She said goodbye to the bird. She said, "I hope you find a home, bird. I hope you find a family. I hope you learn to sing. Singing is beautiful. Singing is magic. Singing is love." + +The bird did not hear Jenny. It did not see Jenny. It did not feel Jenny. It stayed in the cage. It stayed silent. It stayed alone. +Lily and Ben were playing with clay. They liked to make different shapes and colors. Lily made a snake with green clay. Ben made a ball with red clay. + +"Look at my snake!" Lily said. "It can wrap around things." + +"Wow, that's cool!" Ben said. "Can I touch it?" + +"Sure, but be gentle. It is soft and can break." Lily said. She gave her snake to Ben. + +Ben felt the snake with his fingers. It was smooth and bendy. He wrapped it around his wrist like a bracelet. He smiled. + +"Look at my ball!" Ben said. "It is bright and round." + +"Wow, that's pretty!" Lily said. "Can I hold it?" + +"Sure, but be careful. It is heavy and can roll." Ben said. He gave his ball to Lily. + +Lily held the ball in her hands. It was warm and shiny. She bounced it on the floor. It made a loud sound. + +They played with the clay for a long time. They made more shapes and colors. They had fun. They were happy. +Lily liked to sort her toys. She had a big box with many toys. She put the dolls in one corner, the cars in another corner, the blocks in a third corner, and the animals in a fourth corner. She was very good at sorting. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, we are going to have steak for dinner. Do you want to help me cook?" Lily said, "Yes, mom, I want to help." She followed her mom to the kitchen. Her mom gave her a big apron and a wooden spoon. + +Lily's mom put a big pan on the stove. She put some oil and butter in the pan. She said, "Lily, can you stir the oil and butter with the spoon?" Lily said, "Yes, mom, I can stir." She stirred the oil and butter with the spoon. She liked to see the bubbles. + +Lily's mom took out a big piece of steak from the fridge. She said, "Lily, can you see how flexible the steak is?" Lily said, "What is flexible, mom?" Her mom said, "Flexible means it can bend and stretch. Look, I can bend the steak like this, and stretch it like that." She showed Lily how to bend and stretch the steak. Lily said, "Wow, mom, the steak is flexible. Can I try?" Her mom said, "Sure, Lily, you can try. But be careful, it is raw. That means it is not cooked yet. It can make you sick if you eat it raw. We have to cook it first." She gave Lily the steak and let her bend and stretch it. + +Lily had fun bending and stretching the steak. She said, "Mom, the steak is like a rubber band. It can bend and stretch. Can I make a shape with the steak?" Her mom said, "Sure, Lily, you can make a shape with the steak. What shape do you want to make?" Lily said, "I want to make a heart, mom. I love you." She bent and stretched the steak into a heart shape. Her mom said, "That is very sweet, Lily. I love you too. You are very creative. But now we have to cook the steak. Can you put the steak in the pan?" Lily said, "Yes, mom, I can put the steak in the pan." She put the steak in the pan. It sizzled and smelled good. + +Lily's mom said, "Lily, you are a great helper. Thank you for helping me cook. Now we have to wait for the steak to cook. Do you want to sort your toys while we wait?" Lily said, "Yes, mom, I want to sort my toys. I like to sort." She ran to her box and started to sort her toys. She was very happy. +Lily and Ben were having lunch with their mom. Mom had cooked some squash for them, but they did not like it. They thought it was disgusting and yellow and mushy. + +"Please, try some squash. It is good for you," Mom said. + +"No, thank you. We don't want it," Lily and Ben said. + +Mom was sad. She had worked hard to make the squash. She wanted her children to eat healthy food and try new things. + +"Look, I will try some squash too. See, it is not so bad. It is sweet and soft and yummy," Mom said. She took a bite of squash and smiled. + +Lily and Ben looked at Mom. They saw that she was happy and not lying. They decided to try some squash too. They took a small bite and chewed. + +"Hmm, it is not disgusting. It is actually kind of good," Lily said. + +"I agree. It is not what I expected. It is tasty and warm and filling," Ben said. + +Mom was glad. She hugged Lily and Ben and gave them more squash. + +"Thank you for trying some squash. I am proud of you. You learned that sometimes things are not what they seem. You should always give things a chance before you judge them," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned a lesson. They finished their squash and asked for more. They were happy and full and healthy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in a big box. They gather the cars and trucks and put them on the floor. They make a road with tape and paper. + +"Let's race!" Anna says. She picks a red car. Ben picks a blue truck. They put their cars and trucks on the road. They say "Ready, set, go!" and push them with their hands. + +The cars and trucks zoom on the road. They go fast and make noises. "Vroom, vroom!" Anna says. "Beep, beep!" Ben says. They laugh and have fun. They see who can reach the end of the road first. + +But then the sky gets dark. The sun goes away. The clouds come. They hear thunder and rain. They get scared. They do not like the dark and the noise. + +"Let's go inside!" Ben says. He grabs his truck. Anna grabs her car. They run to the house. They leave the cars and trucks on the floor. They do not want to play outside anymore. + +They go to the living room. They see their mom and dad. They hug them and feel safe. They watch a movie on the TV. They forget about the dark and the rain. They are happy again. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds when they push the cars on the floor. Zoom, zoom, zoom! + +One day, Tom has a new car. It is big and red and shiny. It has a button on the side. Tom pushes the button and the car makes a loud noise. Vroom, vroom, vroom! The car goes very fast on the floor. Tom is happy. He shows his car to Jen. + +"Look at my car, Jen! It is the best car ever! It can zoom faster than any other car!" Tom says. + +Jen looks at the car. She thinks it is nice, but she is not impressed. She has a car too. It is small and blue and cute. It has a sticker on the top. Jen peels off the sticker and there is a treat inside. It is a candy. Jen is happy. She shows her car to Tom. + +"Look at my car, Tom! It is the best car ever! It has a treat inside! It is a candy!" Jen says. + +Tom looks at the car. He thinks it is nice, but he is not interested. He does not like candy. He likes noise and speed. He pushes the button on his car again. Vroom, vroom, vroom! The car zooms away from Jen. + +"Come on, Jen! Let's race! My car can beat your car any day!" Tom says. + +Jen does not want to race. She wants to eat her candy. She peels off another sticker and finds another treat. It is a cookie. Jen is very happy. She shows her cookie to Tom. + +"Look at my cookie, Tom! It is the best cookie ever! It is big and fat and yummy!" Jen says. + +Tom looks at the cookie. He thinks it is nice, but he is not hungry. He likes noise and speed. He pushes the button on his car again. Vroom, vroom, vroom! The car zooms around the room. + +"Come on, Jen! Let's race! My car can beat your cookie any day!" Tom says. + +Jen does not want to race. She wants to eat her cookie. She takes a big bite and smiles. She does not care about Tom's car. She likes treat and yummy. She pushes her car on the floor. Zoom, zoom, zoom! The car goes slowly but happily. + +"Come on, Tom! Let's share! My car has more treats inside! You can have some too!" Jen says. + +Tom does not want to share. He wants to play with his car. He pushes the button on his car again. Vroom, vroom, vroom! The car zooms out of the door. + +"Bye, Jen! I'm going to zoom around the world! My car is the best car ever!" Tom says. + +Jen does not say bye. She shrugs and eats her cookie. She thinks Tom is silly. She likes her car. It is the best car ever. It has treats inside. She zooms with her car on the floor. Zoom, zoom, zoom! She is happy. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. One day, they went to the market with their mom. They saw many things there: fruits, flowers, toys, and books. Lily and Tom wanted to buy everything, but their mom said no. She said they only had enough money for food. + +They walked by a stall that sold vegetables. Lily saw a big white thing that looked like a flower. She asked her mom what it was. Her mom said it was a cauliflower. Lily thought it was pretty and wanted to have it. She asked her mom if she could buy it. Her mom said yes, because it was good for them to eat. + +Tom saw the cauliflower too. He thought it was ugly and boring. He did not want to eat it. He wanted to buy a red car that he saw at another stall. He asked his mom if he could buy it. His mom said no, because they did not have enough money for toys. Tom was sad and angry. He said he hated cauliflower and he hated his mom. + +Lily and Tom went home with their mom. Their mom cooked the cauliflower for dinner. She made it with cheese and butter. It smelled good and looked yummy. Lily was happy and thanked her mom. She gazed at the cauliflower and smiled. + +Tom was still sad and angry. He did not want to eat the cauliflower. He said it was gross and he wanted a car. He pushed his plate away and crossed his arms. He gazed at the cauliflower and frowned. + +Their mom was sad too. She said she loved them both and she wanted them to be healthy and happy. She said they should be grateful for what they have and not be greedy for what they don't. She said they should share and care for each other, because they were twins and they were special. + +Lily understood her mom. She felt sorry for Tom. She said she loved him and she wanted him to be happy too. She said she would share her cauliflower with him and he could play with her toys. She said they could save money together and buy a car someday. + +Tom listened to Lily. He felt sorry for his mom. He said he loved them and he was sorry for being mean. He said he would try the cauliflower and he would share his toys with Lily. He said they could have fun together and be good twins. + +They hugged and kissed their mom. They ate the cauliflower and liked it. They played with their toys and laughed. They gazed at each other and smiled. + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the value of gratitude, generosity, and love. It shows that being greedy and selfish can make us sad and angry, while being thankful and kind can make us happy and peaceful. It also shows that twins have a special bond and should support each other. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide, but there is a problem. There is a boy on the slide who wears a mask. The mask is scary. It has big teeth and red eyes. The boy does not let anyone go on the slide. He says, "This is my slide. Go away!" + +Lily and Ben are afraid of the boy and his mask. They think he is mean and rude. They do not want to play with him. They look for another game. They see a swing, a sandbox, and a seesaw. But they still want to go on the slide. + +Ben has an idea. He whispers to Lily, "I have a plan. We can make our own masks. Then we can scare the boy and take the slide. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nods. She thinks it is a good plan. They find some paper and crayons. They draw funny faces on the paper. They cut out holes for their eyes and mouths. They tie the paper around their heads. They have their own masks. + +They run to the slide. They see the boy with the scary mask. They shout, "Boo! We are the mask monsters. We want the slide. Give it to us!" + +The boy is surprised. He sees Lily and Ben with their masks. He thinks they are silly and funny. He laughs. He says, "You are not scary. You are cute. I like your masks. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily and Ben are happy. They think the boy is not mean and rude. He is just lonely and bored. They say, "Yes, we want to play with you. What is your name?" + +The boy says, "My name is Sam. I like your names. Can we be friends?" + +They say, "Yes, we can be friends. Can we share the slide?" + +Sam says, "Yes, we can share the slide. It is more fun to play together. Come on, let's go!" + +They all go on the slide. They take turns. They have fun. They forget about their masks. They are not serious. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. Then they complain to their mom. + +"Mom, Tom took my doll!" Lily says in a loud voice. + +"Mom, Lily broke my car!" Tom says in a loud voice. + +Mom comes to their room. She sees the toys on the floor. She is not happy. + +"Tom and Lily, why are you complaining?" Mom asks. "You have many toys to share. You should be nice to each other." + +"But Mom, I want this doll!" Lily says. + +"But Mom, I want this car!" Tom says. + +Mom shakes her head. She has an idea. + +"Let's play a game," Mom says. "I will turn off the light. Then you have to find a toy in the dark. But you cannot complain. You have to be quiet. Do you want to try?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They think it sounds fun. Mom turns off the light. The room is dark. + +Tom and Lily crawl on the floor. They touch the toys. They try to guess what they are. + +Tom finds a ball. He smiles. He likes balls. + +Lily finds a book. She smiles. She likes books. + +They do not complain. They do not use their voice. They are quiet. + +Mom turns on the light. She sees Tom and Lily holding their toys. They are happy. + +"Good job, Tom and Lily!" Mom says. "You played the game well. You did not complain. You were quiet. You found new toys to play with. I am proud of you." + +Tom and Lily hug Mom. They say thank you. They are nice to each other. + +They play with their toys in their room. They do not fight. They do not complain. They use their voice to say nice things. They are happy. +Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They make towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green and more. + +One day, Sara and Ben have a fight. Sara wants to use all the blue blocks for her tower. Ben wants some blue blocks for his car. Sara says no, she needs all the blue blocks. Ben says that is not fair, he wants to share the blocks. Sara and Ben yell at each other. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Sara and Ben fighting over the blocks. She is not happy. She says, "Sara and Ben, you have to share the blocks. You have enough blocks for both of you. If you don't share, I will not permit you to play with the blocks anymore." + +Sara and Ben do not want to lose the blocks. They say sorry to each other. They decide to share the blocks. They make a new game. They use the blue blocks to make a fake lake. They use the other blocks to make boats and animals and trees. They have fun playing with the blocks. Mom is happy to see them play nicely. She gives them a hug and a cookie. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of socks. They liked to make sock puppets, sock balls, and sock hats with the socks. + +One day, they decided to make a sock show for their mom and dad. They each picked some socks and put them on their hands. They made funny voices and stories with their sock puppets. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they had a problem. They both wanted the same sock. It was a blue sock with a red star. Lily said, "This is my sock. I saw it first." Ben said, "No, this is my sock. I like it more." They pulled and tugged on the sock. They were very frustrated. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. She came into the room and saw the mess. "You are making a big noise and a big mess. You need to share the socks. Why don't you part the sock and each take half?" + +Lily and Ben looked at their mom. They looked at the sock. They did not want to part the sock. They liked the whole sock. They said, "No, mom. We don't want to part the sock. We want to keep the sock." + +Their mom sighed. She said, "Well, then you need to find a way to play with the sock together. Maybe you can take turns, or make a new story, or trade for another sock. But you can't fight over the sock. That is not nice." + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment. They did not want to fight. They wanted to play. They said, "OK, mom. We will try to play with the sock together. Thank you for helping us." + +Their mom smiled. She said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you are being good twins. Now, let me see your sock show. I'm sure it will be very funny and creative." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They put the sock on their hands again. They made a new story with the sock. They made their mom and dad laugh. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the lake with Mom and Dad. The lake is big and blue. They see fish and ducks and frogs. + +Anna and Ben want to swim in the lake. They put on their swimsuits and jump in the water. The water is cold and wet. They splash and laugh and have fun. Mom and Dad watch them and smile. + +Anna and Ben hear a loud noise. They look up and see a boat. The boat is fast and shiny. It makes waves and bubbles. Anna and Ben wave to the people on the boat. The people wave back and say hello. + +Anna and Ben swim back to the shore. They dry off with their towels. They are hungry and thirsty. Mom and Dad have a picnic for them. They eat sandwiches and fruit and drink juice. They say thank you and hug Mom and Dad. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They had a good day at the lake. They say goodbye to the fish and ducks and frogs. They get in the car and go home. They fall asleep and dream of the lake. +Lily likes to go with her dad to his office. His office is in a big building with many windows. Lily likes to look at the cars and the people on the street. She holds her dad's hand and says hello to the people in the office. + +Lily's dad has a small office with a desk and a chair and a computer. He lets Lily sit on his lap and play with the mouse and the keyboard. Lily likes to make funny noises and see the pictures on the screen. She also likes to draw with the crayons and the paper that her dad gives her. + +Sometimes, Lily's dad has to talk to other people in the office. He tells Lily to be quiet and wait for him. Lily tries to be good, but she gets bored. She looks around the office and sees a big plant, a red ball, and a toy car. She wants to play with them, but she is not sure if she can. + +Lily decides to ask her dad if she can play with the things in the office. She gets off his lap and walks to the door. She opens the door and sees her dad talking to a lady with glasses. She says, "Dad, can I play with the plant and the ball and the car?" Her dad looks at her and smiles. He says, "Sure, Lily, you can play with them, but be careful and don't make a mess." Lily says, "Thank you, dad!" and runs to the plant and the ball and the car. She is happy to play in the small office. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Lila has a new doll. The doll has long, yellow hair. Ben thinks the hair is interesting. + +"Can I touch your doll's hair?" Ben asks Lila. + +"Sure, you can touch it. But be gentle. The hair is soft and shiny," Lila says. + +Ben touches the hair. He likes how it feels. He wants to have hair like that. + +"Can I have some of your doll's hair?" Ben asks Lila. + +"No, you can't have it. It is my doll's hair. If you take it, she will be sad," Lila says. + +"But I want it. It is so pretty. Please, can I have it?" Ben begs. + +Lila thinks for a moment. She likes Ben, but she loves her doll. She has an idea. + +"OK, you can have some of the hair. But not too much. And you have to do something for me," Lila says. + +"What do I have to do?" Ben asks. + +"You have to send me a picture of you with the hair. And you have to say thank you," Lila says. + +"OK, deal. How do I send you a picture?" Ben asks. + +Lila shows him how to use her mom's phone. She helps him take a picture of himself with the hair. He looks funny. He smiles. + +"Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend," Ben says. + +"You're welcome, Ben. You are a good friend, too. But don't forget to send me the picture," Lila says. + +Ben nods. He sends the picture to Lila. Lila sees it on her mom's phone. She laughs. She thinks Ben is silly. But she is happy. They are both happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a bunch of bananas on the kitchen table. They decided to take some and eat them outside. + +"Bananas are yummy!" Tom said, peeling one and taking a big bite. + +"Yes, they are!" Lily agreed, doing the same. + +They ate and ate until they were full. Then they looked at the peels. They were brown and sticky and smelled bad. + +"What do we do with these?" Lily asked. + +"Let's bury them!" Tom suggested. "Then no one will see them or smell them." + +They dug a hole in the garden and threw the peels inside. Then they covered them with dirt and grass. + +"There, all done!" Tom said, smiling. + +They ran back to the house, feeling proud of themselves. + +But the next day, they saw something strange. The hole they had dug was open again. And there were ants and flies and worms crawling all over the peels. And the garden smelled worse than before. + +"Uh-oh!" Lily said, feeling scared. + +"What happened?" Tom asked, feeling confused. + +They heard their mom coming out of the house. She looked angry and sad. + +"Tom, Lily, what did you do?" she asked, pointing at the mess. + +They hung their heads and told her the truth. They had taken the bananas and buried the peels. + +"That was very naughty and wasteful of you!" mom said. "You should have asked me before taking the bananas. And you should have thrown the peels in the compost bin, not in the garden. The peels are good for the plants, but only if they are mixed with other things. If you bury them alone, they attract pests and make the soil unhealthy." + +She made them clean up the hole and the peels. Then she gave them a hug and said, "I hope you learned your lesson. Next time, be more careful and respectful of the food and the garden." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry and thanked mom for teaching them. They promised to never do it again. + +They learned that burying banana peels was a bad idea. And that being honest and responsible was a good idea. And that mom loved them anyway. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play baseball in the park. They have a bat, a ball and a glove. They take turns to hit and catch. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a different bat, a different ball and a different glove. He is bigger than Tom and Sam. He says, "Can I play with you?" + +Tom and Sam are not sure. They look at each other. They say, "OK, you can play with us. But you have to follow our rules." + +The new boy nods. He says, "What are your rules?" + +Tom says, "We hit the ball and run to the tree. Then we run back to the bat. That is one point. We play until we have five points. Then we switch." + +Sam says, "We catch the ball with our glove. If we catch it, the hitter gets no point. If we miss it, the hitter gets one point. We try to catch every ball." + +The new boy says, "That sounds easy. I can do that. Let me hit first." + +Tom and Sam agree. They give him the bat and the ball. They go to the tree with their glove. + +The new boy swings the bat hard. He hits the ball far. It flies over the tree and lands on the road. A car honks and stops. The driver gets out and picks up the ball. He looks angry. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They run to the new boy. They say, "That was not good. You broke our rule. You hit the ball too far. Now we have no ball. The car man is mad. He might take our ball. What will we do?" + +The new boy shrugs. He says, "I don't know. I just hit the ball. That is what you do in baseball. I have another ball in my bag. Do you want to play with that one?" + +Tom and Sam shake their heads. They say, "No, thank you. We don't want to play with you. You are different. You don't play nice. You don't listen. You don't care. You are not our friend. Go away." + +The new boy frowns. He says, "Fine. I don't need you. I have my own bat, my own ball and my own glove. I can play by myself. You are boring. You are silly. You are not fun. Goodbye." + +He takes his bag and walks away. He leaves Tom and Sam alone in the park. They look at each other. They are sad. They miss their ball. They wonder what will happen next. +Lily and Ben wanted to bake a cake for Mom's birthday. They saw a big box of cake mix in the kitchen. They had an urge to open it and make the cake by themselves. They thought Mom would be happy and proud of them. + +They took the box and a big bowl to the table. They poured the mix into the bowl and added some water. They did not know how much water to put, so they guessed. They stirred the mix with a big spoon. It looked like mud. They smiled and said, "This will be a yummy cake!" + +They looked for a pan to put the mix in. They saw a shiny metal pan on the stove. They did not know it was hot. They reached for it with their hands. They touched the pan and felt a bad pain. They screamed and dropped the pan. The mix spilled all over the floor. They cried and ran to Mom. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the burned pan. She saw Lily and Ben with red hands. She felt sorry for them and hugged them. She said, "Oh, my sweeties, what happened? Did you try to bake a cake for me?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and sobbed. They said, "We wanted to make you happy, Mom. We're sorry, Mom. We're sorry." + +Mom kissed their hands and said, "It's okay, my loves. I appreciate your thought, but you should not bake without me. Baking is fun, but it can be dangerous too. You need to be careful and follow the rules. Next time, we'll bake together, okay?" + +Lily and Ben said, "Okay, Mom. We love you, Mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, my darlings. Happy birthday to me." +Sam loved to watch the seals at the zoo. They were big and shiny and funny. They could clap their flippers and make loud noises. They could jump and spin and catch fish. Sam wanted to be a seal trainer when he grew up. + +One day, Sam saw a new seal at the zoo. He was smaller than the others and had a red ball on his nose. He was very cute and Sam liked him a lot. He asked his mom what his name was. She read the sign and said, "His name is Bobo. He is a famous seal. He was in a movie and a TV show." + +Sam was amazed. He wanted to see Bobo do tricks. He waited for the show to start. But when the show started, Bobo did not do anything. He just sat on a rock and looked bored. He did not clap his flippers or make noises. He did not jump or spin or catch fish. He did not even play with his ball. He just quit. + +Sam was sad and confused. He wondered why Bobo quit. He asked his mom. She said, "Maybe Bobo is tired of doing tricks. Maybe he wants to have fun with the other seals. Maybe he misses his home in the ocean. Maybe he is not happy here." + +Sam felt sorry for Bobo. He wished he could help him. He had an idea. He ran to the gift shop and bought a toy fish. He came back to the seal pool and threw the toy fish to Bobo. Bobo saw the toy fish and perked up. He swam to it and grabbed it with his mouth. He tossed it in the air and caught it again. He looked at Sam and smiled. He clapped his flippers and made a happy noise. + +Sam was happy too. He smiled and waved at Bobo. He felt like he made a new friend. He decided that Bobo was still a famous seal, but now he was also a happy seal. +One day, a hairy dog named True saw a big cat in the yard. He wanted to play with the cat, but the cat did not like dogs. The cat hissed and ran away, but True followed him. He barked and wagged his tail, but the cat did not stop. + +"Please, play with me!" True said to the cat. "I am a nice dog. I will not hurt you." + +The cat was scared of the dog. He climbed a tree and hid in the leaves. He hoped the dog would go away. + +"Come down, cat!" True said. "I have an idea. We can act like we are friends. We can pretend we are both cats, or both dogs, or both birds. It will be fun!" + +The cat thought for a moment. He was bored in the tree, and he was curious about the dog. He decided to give him a chance. + +"Okay, dog," the cat said. "We can act like we are friends. But only for a little while. And you have to be quiet and gentle. No barking or jumping." + +True was happy. He agreed to the cat's rules. He waited for the cat to come down from the tree. Then they started to act like they were friends. They sniffed each other, rubbed their heads, and chased a butterfly. They even shared a bowl of milk. + +They had so much fun that they forgot they were acting. They became real friends. And they lived happily ever after. +Lily liked books. She liked to look at the pictures and hear the stories. Sometimes, she went to the library with her mom. The library had many books. Lily could choose some books to take home. + +One day, Lily saw a book she did not know. It had a big dragon on the cover. Lily liked dragons. She wanted to see the book. She asked her mom if she could take it home. + +"Sure, honey. Let's check it out," her mom said. They went to the desk. The lady at the desk smiled at Lily. + +"Hello, little one. What book do you have?" she asked. + +"I have a dragon book. It is unknown. I want to read it," Lily said. + +"That's wonderful. You are very brave to try a new book. I hope you enjoy it. Here you go. Welcome to the library," the lady said. She gave Lily a card with a stamp. + +"Thank you, lady. Bye-bye," Lily said. She waved at the lady. She hugged the book. She was happy. She could not wait to read the dragon book. +Anna likes to draw circles with her crayons. She has many colors of crayons and she makes big circles and small circles on her paper. She is happy when she draws circles. + +But one day, her brother Tom comes into her room. He is bad and he wants to disturb Anna. He takes her crayons and breaks them. He makes holes in her paper. He laughs and says, "Your circles are ugly!" + +Anna is sad and angry. She cries and says, "Stop it, Tom! You are bad and you disturb me! Give me back my crayons and my paper!" + +Mom hears Anna and Tom. She comes into the room and sees what Tom did. She is mad at Tom and she scolds him. She says, "Tom, you are bad and you disturb Anna. You should not break her crayons and her paper. You should say sorry to Anna and help her clean up." + +Tom feels sorry and he says sorry to Anna. He helps her pick up the broken crayons and the paper. He gives her a hug and says, "I am sorry, Anna. I will not disturb you again. Can I draw circles with you?" + +Anna smiles and says, "Yes, you can. But you have to be nice and share the crayons and the paper. And you have to make nice circles, not ugly ones." + +Tom nods and says, "OK, I will. Thank you, Anna." + +Anna and Tom draw circles together. They use different colors and make beautiful circles. They are happy and they do not disturb each other. Mom is happy too and she praises them. She says, "You are good and you do not disturb each other. I am proud of you. You can have a cookie as a treat." + +Anna and Tom say, "Thank you, Mom." They eat the cookie and they keep drawing circles. They have fun and they love each other. +Lily and her mom were at the park. Lily liked to play on the swings and the slide. She saw a little dog with a red collar. She ran to the dog and said, "Hi, doggy! Can I pet you?" + +The dog's owner was a nice lady. She smiled and said, "Sure, you can pet him. His name is Coffee. He is very friendly." + +Lily stroked Coffee's soft fur. She asked, "Why is his name Coffee? He is not brown like coffee." + +The lady laughed and said, "Well, he is brown like coffee when he is wet. But when he is dry, he becomes lighter. He likes to change colors." + +Lily thought that was very cool. She said, "I like to change colors too. Sometimes I wear pink, sometimes I wear blue. But I always wear my yellow hat. It is my favorite." + +The lady nodded and said, "You have a very nice hat. It is bright and sunny like you. Do you want to play with Coffee for a while? He likes to chase balls and sticks." + +Lily was happy. She said, "Yes, please! Thank you, lady. You are very kind." + +Lily and Coffee had fun playing together. They became friends. Lily's mom watched them and smiled. She was glad that Lily made a new friend. She thought that Coffee was a cute and funny name for a dog. +Sam and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and whistle. They whistled loud and happy, like birds. One day, they saw a big truck with ice cream. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you want some ice cream?" the man in the truck said. He had a nice voice and a big smile. + +"Yes, please!" Sam and Mia said. They gave him some money and he gave them two cones. One was chocolate and one was vanilla. They licked their ice cream and whistled some more. + +But the ice cream was not tasty. It was bad. It made Sam and Mia feel sick. Their stomachs hurt and their mouths were dry. They stopped whistling and started crying. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. But the man in the truck was gone. He had tricked them. He had given them bad ice cream and taken their money. He was a bad man. + +Sam and Mia were sad and scared. They wanted their mommies and daddies. They looked for them in the park, but they could not find them. They were lost and alone. They wished they had never seen the ice cream truck. They wished they had never whistled. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But their room is very messy. There are blocks, dolls, cars, books and crayons everywhere. Mommy is not happy. + +"Anna and Ben, you need to clean your room now!" Mommy says. "It is time for lunch. If you don't clean your room, you can't have any cookies." + +Anna and Ben do not want to clean their room. They want to play more. They think Mommy will not see their mess. They have a big idea. + +"Let's stretch the blanket over the toys!" Anna says. "Then Mommy will think our room is clean." + +"That's a good idea!" Ben says. "Let's do it!" + +They take the big blanket from their bed. They stretch it over the toys. They make it look like a big hill. They are very proud. + +"Look, our room is clean!" Anna says. + +"Let's go have lunch and cookies!" Ben says. + +They run to the kitchen. Mommy is waiting for them. She smiles and gives them sandwiches and milk. She does not say anything about their room. + +Anna and Ben eat their lunch. They are very happy. They think they are very clever. They do not know that Mommy has a big surprise for them. + +After lunch, Mommy says, "Let's go to the park and play. I have something for you in the car." + +Anna and Ben are very excited. They love the park. They think Mommy has a new toy for them. They run to the car. + +But when they open the car door, they see something they do not like. They see their big blanket. And under the blanket, they see all their toys. + +"Surprise!" Mommy says. "I saw your mess in your room. You did not clean it. You just hid it. That was not nice. Now you have to take your toys to the park and clean them there. No cookies for you today." + +Anna and Ben are very sad. They cry and say sorry. They learn their lesson. They do not like to stretch the blanket over their mess. They like to clean their room. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog has long, black hair and a loud bark. + +"Can we pet the dog, mom?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe, but we have to ask the owner first," mom says. "And we have to be gentle and alert. Some dogs don't like strangers." + +They walk to the dog and the owner. The owner is a nice lady with a red hat. She smiles and says, "Hello, do you want to meet my dog? His name is Rex." + +"Yes, please," Ben says. + +The lady holds Rex's leash and lets the twins approach him. Anna and Ben reach out their hands and touch Rex's hair. It is soft and warm. Rex wags his tail and licks their faces. Anna and Ben giggle and feel happy. + +"Rex likes you," the lady says. "You are very good with dogs. You know how to be calm and alert. That makes Rex feel safe and friendly." + +"Thank you," mom says. "You have a very nice dog. Can we come back and play with him again?" + +"Of course," the lady says. "Rex loves to make new friends. He is always here in the park in the morning." + +Anna and Ben hug Rex and say goodbye. They learn that dogs are fun and kind, but they also need respect and care. They feel proud of themselves for being good with Rex. They look forward to seeing him again. +Sara and Ben are fish who live in the reef. The reef is their home. They like to swim and play with other fish. One day, they see a big boat on the water. The boat makes a loud noise and drops something in the reef. + +"What is that?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know. Let's follow it and see," Ben says. + +They follow the thing that the boat dropped. It is a big net. The net has many holes. The net catches many fish. Some fish are their friends. The fish are scared and sad. They cannot swim out of the net. + +"Help! Help!" the fish cry. + +"Oh no! The net is bad. The net hurts the fish. We have to help them," Sara says. + +"How can we help them? The net is too big and strong," Ben says. + +They look around and see a big rock. The rock has a sharp edge. They have an idea. + +"Look! The rock can cut the net. We can push the rock to the net and make a hole. Then the fish can swim out," Sara says. + +"Good idea! Let's do it," Ben says. + +They swim to the rock and push it hard. The rock moves slowly. They push it harder. The rock moves faster. They push it to the net and the rock cuts the net. The net has a big hole. The fish swim out of the net. They are happy and thankful. + +"Thank you, Sara and Ben! You saved us. You are very brave and smart," the fish say. + +"You're welcome. We are glad you are safe. The net is bad. The boat is bad. They hurt the reef and the fish. The reef is our home. We have to protect it," Sara and Ben say. + +They swim back to the reef with their friends. They hug and smile. They are happy to be together. They love the reef. The reef is beautiful and good. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They liked to pretend that their toys were real and had adventures. + +"Look, my doll is a princess and she lives in a big castle," Lily said, showing Tom her doll. + +"My car is a race car and it goes very fast," Tom said, zooming his car around the floor. + +They played happily for a while, until Tom had an idea. + +"Hey, Lily, do you want to see something cool?" he asked. + +"What is it?" Lily asked, curious. + +Tom ran to his dad's office and came back with a scale. A scale was a thing that you put on the floor and you stand on it and it tells you how heavy you are. + +"Look, this is a scale. It can make us shrink or grow," Tom said, putting the scale on the floor. + +"Really? How?" Lily asked, not sure what Tom meant. + +"Watch this," Tom said, standing on the scale. He pressed a button and the scale made a beep. Tom looked at the number on the scale and smiled. + +"See? I'm only two pounds now. I'm very small. I shrunk," Tom said, jumping off the scale. + +Lily was amazed. She wanted to try it too. + +"Can I do it?" she asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't press the wrong button," Tom said, handing her the scale. + +Lily stood on the scale and pressed a button. The scale made a beep. Lily looked at the number on the scale and gasped. + +"Oh no! I'm fifty pounds now. I'm very big. I grew," Lily said, feeling her clothes getting tight. + +Tom was shocked. He didn't know what to do. + +"Sorry, Lily. I think you pressed the wrong button. You have to press the other one to shrink," he said. + +"Which one? I can't see it. I'm too big," Lily said, trying to get off the scale. + +"Here, let me help you," Tom said, reaching for the scale. + +But before he could touch it, the scale made another beep.

He likes the water and the waves. + +"No, let's decorate the box and make a car!" Sam says. He likes to drive fast and honk. + +They start to argue. They both want to use the box for their own idea. They pull and push the box. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears them and comes to the garage. She sees the box and the mess. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing, boys?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting over the box?" + +Tom and Sam stop and look at Mom. They feel bad. + +"We want to decorate the box, Mom," Tom says. + +"But we have different ideas, Mom," Sam says. + +Mom smiles. She has an idea. + +"Why don't you decorate the box together and make something that you both like?" Mom says. "Maybe you can make a surf car. It can go on the water and on the road. It can be fun and cheap." + +Tom and Sam think about it. They like Mom's idea. They say sorry to each other. They hug Mom. + +"Thank you, Mom," they say. + +They start to decorate the box. They use paint, stickers, wheels, and a sail. They make a surf car. They are happy. They take turns to drive and surf. They have a lot of fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide on the big slide and swing on the swings. They saw a big puddle near the slide. They wanted to splash in the water. + +"Let's go to the puddle!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Tom said. + +They ran to the puddle. They did not see the mud around it. Lily was the first to reach the puddle. She tried to jump in, but she slipped on the mud. She fell down and hit her head on a rock. She cried out loud. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily said. + +Tom heard Lily's cry. He ran to help her. He was compassionate. He wanted to make her feel better. He tried to hug her, but he also slipped on the mud. He fell on top of Lily and hurt her more. She cried louder. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily and Tom said. + +A lady saw the children. She was walking her dog. She was surprised. She did not expect to see two children in the puddle. She ran to help them. She was compassionate too. She wanted to make them feel better. She tried to lift them up, but she also slipped on the mud. She fell on top of Lily and Tom and hurt them even more. They cried the loudest. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily, Tom and the lady said. + +The dog saw the lady. He was confused. He did not understand what was happening. He wanted to play with the lady. He ran to the puddle. He did not slip on the mud. He jumped on the lady and licked her face. He was happy. + +"Woof! Woof! Woof!" The dog said. + +The end. +Sara is a girl who likes to draw. She has many colors to make pictures with. One day, she draws a big circle on a paper. She thinks the circle is lonely. She wants to give it a friend. + +She looks for another color. She finds a red one. She draws another circle next to the big one. She says, "Hello, circle. I am Sara. I want to introduce you to someone. This is your friend, red circle. He is healthy and happy. He likes to play with you." + +The big circle smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sara. I am glad to meet red circle. He is nice and bright. We can have fun together. Can you draw more friends for us?" + +Sara nods. She picks up more colors. She draws more circles of different sizes and colors. She introduces them to the big circle and the red circle.

They make a big group on the paper. They talk and laugh and sing. Sara smiles. She is happy, too. She likes to draw circles and make friends. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toys. One day, they saw a vendor selling balloons near the park. The vendor had many balloons of different colors and shapes. Tim and Sam wanted to buy some balloons, but they had no money. + +"Can we have some balloons, please?" Tim asked the vendor. + +"Sorry, kids, but you need to pay for them. They are two coins each," the vendor said. + +Tim and Sam felt sad. They looked around and saw a big tree with many branches. They had an idea. + +"Let's attach some balloons to the tree and take them when the vendor is not looking," Sam whispered to Tim. + +Tim nodded. They waited until the vendor was busy with other customers. Then they ran to the tree and grabbed some balloons. They tied the balloons to the branches with strings. They thought they were very clever. + +They ran back to the vendor and pretended to look at the balloons. They waited for the right moment to take the balloons from the tree. + +But they did not notice that the wind was blowing hard. The wind made the balloons shake and pull on the strings. The strings broke and the balloons flew away. Tim and Sam watched in horror as their balloons disappeared in the sky. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" the vendor shouted. He saw the broken strings on the tree and realized what the boys had done. He was very angry. + +He ran after Tim and Sam and caught them. He scolded them for stealing his balloons. He told them to go home and tell their parents what they had done. He also took away their favorite toys as punishment. + +Tim and Sam cried and begged for mercy. But the vendor did not listen. He sent them away with no balloons and no toys. They felt very sorry and ashamed. + +They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned that stealing is wrong and that they should not be greedy. They also learned that brilliant ideas can sometimes go wrong. They wished they had never tried to attach the balloons to the tree. +Lily and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play at the beach. They made sand castles and looked for shells. They had fun in the sun and the water. + +One day, they saw a big boat on the sea. It was loud and smoky. It came closer and closer to the shore. Lily and Tom were scared. They thought the boat would hurt them or their sand castles. They ran to their mom and dad. + +Mom and dad told them not to worry. They said the boat was just passing by. They said it was not bad or mean. They said it was just different. They told Lily and Tom to relax and enjoy the beach. + +Lily and Tom listened to their mom and dad. They calmed down and went back to their sand castles. They saw the boat go away. They were not troubled anymore. They smiled and hugged. They had fun at the beach again. +Lily loved to sing. She sang all day long, in the house, in the yard, in the car. She sang to her dolls, to her dog, to her mom and dad. She sang happy songs, sad songs, silly songs. She sang with a high pitch, a low pitch, a loud pitch, a soft pitch. She sang because it made her feel good. + +One day, Lily had a big chance. She could sing in front of many people at the school show. She was very excited, but also very nervous. She wanted to do well, but she was afraid she would forget the words, or sing the wrong pitch, or make a mistake. She practiced a lot, but she still felt scared. + +On the day of the show, Lily wore her prettiest dress and her shiniest shoes. She waited backstage with the other kids, who were also singing or dancing or telling jokes. She saw her mom and dad in the audience, smiling and waving at her. She smiled back, but her heart was beating fast. + +When it was her turn, Lily walked on the stage, holding a microphone. She looked at the people, who were looking at her. She felt a lump in her throat. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She tried again, but nothing happened. She felt tears in her eyes. She wanted to run away. + +But then, she heard a voice. A familiar voice. A comforting voice. It was her dad, who had come on the stage. He put his arm around her and whispered in her ear. "It's okay, Lily. You can do this. I'm here with you. Just sing like you always do. Sing for me." He started to hum the tune of her song, in the right pitch. Lily felt his warmth and his love. She felt safe. She took a deep breath and joined him. Together, they sang her song, and it was beautiful. The people clapped and cheered. Lily smiled and hugged her dad. She was happy. She had done well. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a model of a big red car that she got for her birthday. Ben has a model of a blue plane that he likes a lot. They are making noises and having fun. + +But then Ben sees Sara's car and he feels envious. He wants to touch it and see how it works. He says to Sara, "Can I play with your car? It looks so cool." + +Sara shakes her head and says, "No, this is my car. You have your plane. Go play with your plane." + +Ben feels sad and angry. He thinks Sara is not nice. He waits until Sara is not looking and he grabs her car. He runs away with it to his room. + +Sara sees that her car is gone and she cries. She runs after Ben and says, "Give me back my car! That is not yours! You are a bad boy!" + +Ben hears Sara and he feels scared. He knows he did something wrong. He hides under his bed with the car. He hopes Sara will not find him. + +But Sara finds him and she pulls him out. She snatches her car from him and says, "This is mine! You are not allowed to touch it! You are a thief!" + +Ben feels sorry and ashamed. He says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was envious of your car. It is so pretty and shiny. I wanted to play with it. Please forgive me." + +Sara looks at Ben and she sees that he is sincere. She remembers that he is her brother and she loves him. She says, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But you have to ask me first before you touch my things. And I have to ask you too. We have to share and be nice to each other." + +Ben nods and says, "You are right, Sara. I'm sorry. Can we still play together?" + +Sara smiles and says, "Yes, we can. But let's play with both our toys. You can play with my car and I can play with your plane. We can have more fun that way." + +Ben agrees and says, "That sounds good, Sara. Thank you. You are a good sister." + +They hug and they go back to the living room.

They smiled and hoped their dad would smile too. + +But their dad did not smile. He was even more angry. He saw the shaving cream on their faces and on the floor. He said, "What have you done? You have made a bigger mess! You have wasted the shaving cream! You have been naughty and silly!" + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They did not mean to make their dad angry. They wanted to make him happy. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We wanted to make you laugh. We love you and your mustache." + +Their dad looked at them and saw their sorry faces. He felt sorry too. He realized that they were just trying to cheer him up. He said, "I am sorry, too. I should not have shouted at you. I had a bad day, but that is not your fault. I love you and your mustaches, too." + +He hugged them and kissed them. He helped them clean up the mess. He played with them and their toys. He laughed and smiled. He was happy. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes, people get angry because they have problems, but they should not take it out on others. Sometimes, people try to make others happy, but they should not make a mess. Sometimes, people need to say sorry and forgive each other. Sometimes, people need to laugh and smile. Sometimes, people need to love and hug. +Anna and Ben are hungry. They want to eat something yummy. They look in the kitchen. They see many things. They see bread, cheese, eggs, milk, fruit, and pasta. + +"What do you want to eat?" Anna asks Ben. + +"I don't know. What do you want to eat?" Ben asks Anna. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She remembers what Mommy said. Mommy said pasta is good for them. It makes them strong and happy. Anna likes pasta. She likes it with sauce and cheese. + +"I have an idea. Why don't we eat pasta?" Anna suggests to Ben. + +Ben nods. He likes pasta too. He likes it with butter and salt. + +"Okay, let's eat pasta. But how do we make it?" Ben wonders. + +Anna smiles. She is a wise girl. She knows how to make pasta. She learned from Mommy. She tells Ben what to do. + +"First, we need a big pot. Then, we need water. We fill the pot with water. We put the pot on the stove. We turn on the stove. We wait for the water to boil. Then, we put the pasta in the water. We stir the pasta. We wait for the pasta to cook. Then, we drain the pasta. We put the pasta in a big bowl. We add sauce and cheese for me, and butter and salt for you. We mix the pasta. We eat the pasta. Yum!" Anna explains to Ben. + +Ben listens to Anna. He thinks she is a wise girl too. He helps her make the pasta. They work together. They have fun. They make a delicious pasta. They eat the pasta. They are happy. They are full. They thank Mommy for the pasta. They hug each other. They love pasta. They love each other. The end. +Tim and Sue like to play with their toy train. The train has a brown engine and many cars. They put the train on the track and make it go fast. They make noises like "choo choo" and "beep beep". + +One day, they see a big train outside their window. The big train has a shiny engine and many cars. It goes very fast and makes loud noises. Tim and Sue want to see the big train up close. They think it will be fun. + +They put on their shoes and run outside. They do not tell their mom or dad. They cross the street and follow the big train. They do not look for cars or trucks. They only look at the big train. + +They come to a bridge. The big train is on the bridge. Tim and Sue want to go on the bridge too. They climb on the rail and walk on the bridge. They do not see the sign that says "Danger". + +The big train sees them. It honks its horn and tries to stop. But it is too late. The big train hits Tim and Sue. They fall off the bridge. They do not get up. They do not play with their toy train anymore. They are gone. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big tent that they could set up in their room. Sometimes, they pretended that the tent was a castle, or a spaceship, or a cave. + +One morning, they woke up early and decided to play in the tent. They crawled inside and whispered to each other. + +"Let's pretend that we are explorers in the jungle," Ben said. + +"OK, but we have to be quiet, or we will wake up Mom and Dad," Lily said. + +They took their stuffed animals and made them act like wild animals. They saw a lion, a monkey, a snake, and a parrot. They had fun making noises and stories. + +But outside the tent, the house was very peaceful. Mom and Dad were still sleeping, and so was their baby brother, Max. The sun was shining, and the birds were singing. No one heard the twins in the tent. + +They played for a long time, until they got hungry. They decided to go to the kitchen and get some breakfast. They crawled out of the tent and tiptoed to the door. + +But when they opened the door, they saw Mom and Dad standing there, smiling. + +"Good morning, explorers," Mom said. "Did you have a good adventure?" + +"Yes, we did," Lily and Ben said. + +"We're glad you had fun, but we have a surprise for you," Dad said. + +"What is it?" the twins asked. + +"Come and see," Mom said. + +They followed Mom and Dad to the baby's room. There, they saw Max awake and smiling. He had a new toy in his crib. It was a small tent, just like theirs. + +"Look, Max has a tent too," Lily said. + +"Now you can all play together," Dad said. + +"Wow, thank you, Mom and Dad," Ben said. + +They hugged their parents and then ran to the baby's crib. They helped Max get into his tent and gave him some of their stuffed animals. + +They played in the tents until it was time for lunch. They had a very happy morning. And the house remained peaceful. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a pipe in his mouth. He blew smoke from the pipe. The smoke made shapes in the air. + +"Look, Anna, look!" Tom said. "The man has a pipe. He makes smoke animals. I see a dog, a cat, and a bird. Do you see them?" + +Anna nodded. She saw the smoke animals too. She liked the bird best. It had big wings and a long tail. She wanted to touch it. + +"Can I have your pipe, mister?" Anna asked. She walked to the man. She smiled at him. + +The man looked at Anna. He was surprised. He liked his pipe. It was expensive. He bought it from a shop. It was made of wood and metal. It had a nice color and a smooth shape. + +"No, you can't have my pipe, little girl," the man said. He shook his head. He moved his pipe away from Anna. "This is my pipe. It is not for children. It is for grown-ups. You should not touch it. It is hot and dirty. It can hurt you." + +Anna was sad. She did not understand. She liked the pipe. She liked the smoke animals. She wanted to play with them. She looked at the man. She looked at the pipe. She looked at Tom. + +Tom saw Anna. He saw the man. He saw the pipe. He had an idea. He ran to Anna. He took her hand. He pulled her away from the man. + +"Come on, Anna, come on!" Tom said. "We don't need the pipe. We can make our own smoke animals. We can use our mouths. We can blow air. We can make sounds. We can have fun." + +Anna nodded. She forgot the pipe. She followed Tom. They ran to the grass. They lay down. They looked at the sky. They blew air. They made sounds. They made smoke animals. They laughed. They had fun. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big duck in the pond. The duck has a red hat on its head. Lily and Tom think the duck is silly. + +"Hello, duck!" Lily says. "Why do you have a hat?" + +The duck does not answer. It blinks its eyes and swims away. + +"Come back, duck!" Tom says. "We want to talk to you!" + +Lily and Tom run after the duck. They follow it to a place with many trees and flowers. There, they see a man with a camera. He is taking pictures of the duck. + +"Excuse me, sir," Lily says. "Why does your duck have a hat?" + +The man smiles. He says, "This is not my duck. This is a special duck. He is a star. He is in a movie. The hat is part of his costume." + +Lily and Tom are surprised. They say, "Wow! A movie duck!" + +The man says, "Do you want to be in the movie too? You can be his friends. Just smile and wave at the camera." + +Lily and Tom are happy. They say, "Yes, please!" + +They smile and wave at the camera. They have fun with the silly duck. They are in a movie. +Tom and Anna liked to play with their toy rockets. They pretended they were flying to different planets and stars in the big universe. They made zoom and boom sounds with their mouths and laughed a lot. + +One day, their mom told them to be quiet because their baby brother was sleeping. She said they could play with their rockets, but they had to do it softly. She said they should not disturb the baby or he would cry. + +Tom and Anna nodded and tried to play softly. But they still wanted to have fun. They whispered to each other and moved their rockets slowly. They said things like, "Look, this is a powerful rocket. It can go very fast and far." and "Wow, this is a beautiful planet. It has many colors and shapes." + +But then, Tom had an idea. He said to Anna, "Let's make a big blast. Let's pretend our rockets are crashing into each other and exploding. It will be exciting." + +Anna said, "But mom said we have to be quiet. We don't want to disturb the baby." + +Tom said, "It's okay. It will be just one blast. And then we will be quiet again. Come on, it will be fun." + +Anna was not sure, but she wanted to play with Tom. She said, "Okay, but only one blast. And then we will stop." + +They counted to three and then smashed their rockets together. They made a loud boom sound and threw their rockets on the floor. They smiled and giggled. + +But then, they heard a loud cry. It was their baby brother. He woke up and was scared and sad. He cried and cried. + +Their mom came into the room and saw the mess. She was angry and worried. She said, "What did you do? You disturbed the baby. He was sleeping so well. Now he is upset and so am I. You have to go to your rooms and think about what you did. You have to be more careful and respectful." + +Tom and Anna felt bad. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, baby. We didn't mean to disturb you. We were just playing with our rockets. We won't do it again." + +They picked up their rockets and went to their rooms. They felt sorry for their mom and their baby brother. They realized they were not very powerful. They were just silly and noisy. They decided to play more softly next time. They hoped their mom and their baby brother would forgive them. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They loved to go on the slide, the swings, and the seesaw. They had so much fun together. + +One day, it was very cold and wet. The sky was gray and the wind was strong. Lily and Ben were miserable. They did not want to play in the park. They wanted to stay at home and watch cartoons. + +"Let's go to my house," Lily said. "We can watch TV and have hot chocolate." + +"OK," Ben said. "But can we go on the slide first? Just one time?" + +Lily nodded. She liked the slide too. They ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Lily went first. She slid down fast and laughed. Ben followed her. He slid down faster and laughed louder. + +But then, something bad happened. Ben slid too fast and did not stop at the end. He flew off the slide and landed on the ground. He hurt his arm and his leg. He cried out loud. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was scared and sorry. She did not want Ben to be hurt. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," she said. "Are you OK?" + +Ben shook his head. He was not OK. He was in pain. He wanted his mom. + +Lily helped him get up. She held his hand and walked with him. They went to Lily's house. Lily's mom saw them and was worried. She called Ben's mom and told her what happened. She gave Ben some ice and a bandage. She made him hot chocolate and gave him a cookie. + +Ben felt a little better. He thanked Lily's mom. He smiled at Lily. Lily smiled back. They settled on the couch and watched cartoons. They were still best friends. They hoped tomorrow would be a better day. +One day, Anna was feeling very hot and sick. Her mom said, "You have a fever, Anna. I need to check your temperature with this thermometer." She put the thermometer in Anna's mouth and told her to stay still. + +But Anna did not like the thermometer. It was cold and hard and tasted bad. She wanted to spit it out and play with her toys. She moved her head and bit the thermometer. Snap! The thermometer broke in her mouth. Anna felt something wet and shiny on her tongue. + +"Oh no, Anna! You broke the thermometer!" her mom said. She was scared and angry. She took the broken pieces out of Anna's mouth and threw them in the trash. "That was very silly, Anna. The thermometer has mercury inside. It is dangerous. You could get very sick from it. You have to be careful with things like that." + +Anna felt sorry and sad. She did not mean to break the thermometer. She did not know it had mercury inside. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I don't like the thermometer. It hurts my mouth. Can I have a hug?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. But you have to listen to me when I tell you something. I only want to help you get better. Now, let me get another thermometer and check your temperature again. And this time, please don't break it." +Sam and Lily liked summer very much. They liked to play outside in the sun, swim in the pool, and eat ice cream. Sometimes, they went to the park with their mom and dad. There, they saw many things: birds, flowers, swings, slides, and an enormous tree. + +One day, they decided to climb the enormous tree. They held on to the branches and went up, up, up. They felt very brave and happy. They could see the whole park from the top of the tree. They waved to their mom and dad, who smiled and watched them. + +But then, Lily saw a big bee. She was scared of bees. She screamed and let go of the branch. She fell down, down, down. Sam saw her and tried to catch her. He also fell down, down, down. They landed on the soft grass, but they hurt their knees and elbows. They cried and cried. + +Their mom and dad ran to them and hugged them. They checked their wounds and put band-aids on them. They said, "It's okay, it's okay. You are brave and strong. The bee is gone. You are safe." + +They took them to a bench and gave them water and cookies. They told them to relax and breathe. They said, "Summer is fun, but sometimes things can go wrong. That's okay. We are here for you. We love you." + +Sam and Lily felt better. They relaxed and breathed. They ate their cookies and drank their water. They said, "We love you too. Thank you for helping us. Can we play some more?" + +Their mom and dad said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. And don't climb the enormous tree again. It's too high for you." + +Sam and Lily nodded. They held hands and went to play some more. They had fun in the summer. They were happy. +Lily liked to play golf with her dad. He would teach her how to hold the club and hit the ball. He would say, "Look at the hole, swing your arms, and tap the ball gently." Lily would try her best and sometimes the ball would go far and sometimes it would go near. + +One day, they went to a new golf course. There were many other people playing golf there. Lily saw a boy who was about her age. He had a red hat and a blue club. He was hitting the ball very well. Lily wanted to be his friend. + +She walked over to him and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you like golf?" The boy smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Yes, I love golf. My mom teaches me. Do you want to play with me?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. My dad teaches me. He is very good." + +Ben and Lily played golf together. They took turns hitting the ball and cheering for each other. They had a lot of fun. They were very friendly and polite. They shared their snacks and their stories. They laughed and joked. + +Lily's dad and Ben's mom watched them from a distance. They were happy to see their children making new friends.

They exchanged phone numbers and promised to play golf again soon. They hugged and said goodbye. Lily and her dad drove home. Lily said, "Dad, I had a great day. Thank you for teaching me golf. And thank you for letting me play with Ben. He is very friendly and good at golf." Her dad said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm proud of you. You are very friendly and good at golf too." They smiled and hugged. +Sam and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, and books. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, their mother says, "Sam and Anna, it is time to clean up. Put your toys in the box, please." She goes to the kitchen to make lunch. + +Sam and Anna say, "Okay, mother." But they forget to clean up. They keep playing with their toys. They make a big mess in the living room. + +Soon, their mother comes back. She sees the mess and says, "Sam and Anna, what did you do? I told you to clean up. Why did you forget?" + +Sam and Anna look at their mother. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mother. We forgot. We were having fun." + +Their mother says, "I know you were having fun, but you have to listen to me. Cleaning up is important. It shows respect and responsibility. Next time, please remember to do what I say." + +Sam and Anna say, "Yes, mother. We will remember. We love you." + +Their mother says, "I love you too. You are good children. But you have to clean up now. Then we can have lunch." + +Sam and Anna say, "Okay, mother." They start to clean up. They put their toys in the box. They help each other. They are flexible.

They are happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big rock near the park. The rock is smooth and round. They think it is a good rock. + +"Let's make a house with the rock!" Lily says. + +"Yes, let's!" Ben says. + +They use sticks and leaves to make a roof and a door. They use flowers and stones to make a garden. They use mud and grass to make a carpet. They make a house with the rock. + +They go inside the house. They pretend to cook and eat. They pretend to read and sleep. They have fun in the house. + +The house is lively. It makes them happy. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is curious. It smells the house. It barks and scratches. It wants to play with the rock. + +"Go away, dog!" Lily says. + +"Leave our house alone!" Ben says. + +But the dog does not listen. It pushes the rock. The rock rolls away. The house falls down.

They saw a big pine tree with many green needles. They wanted to climb it and see the sky. + +"Can we climb the pine tree, please?" Anna asked her mom. + +"Be careful, Anna. The pine tree is very tall and the branches are thin. You might fall and hurt yourself," her mom said. + +"I will be careful, mom. I am not clumsy like Ben," Anna said. She ran to the pine tree and started to climb. Ben followed her. + +Anna climbed higher and higher. She felt happy and brave. She looked down and saw Ben. He was not as fast as her. He was clumsy.

Anna shouted. She was scared. She wanted to help Ben. + +"Anna, come down now!" her mom said. She was angry and worried. She ran to Ben and hugged him. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mind the pine tree. I was silly," Anna said. She climbed down slowly and carefully. She felt sorry and sad. + +"It's okay, Anna. I'm not hurt much. But you should mind the pine tree. It is not a toy. It is a living thing. It has feelings too," Ben said. He was kind and wise. + +Anna nodded. She learned a lesson. She said sorry to the pine tree. She gave Ben a hug. They went home with their mom. They had cookies and milk. They were still friends. +Sara and Tom are playing in the kitchen. They want to make a cake for Mom. Sara finds a big bowl and a spoon. Tom finds a basket with eggs and flour. + +"Let's stir the eggs and flour together," Sara says. "It is easy and fun." + +"OK," Tom says. He cracks an egg and puts it in the bowl.

They had many toys, but Tom's favorite was his football. He always wanted to kick it and throw it and catch it. Lily did not like football. She thought it was boring and loud and hard. She hated football. + +One day, Tom asked Lily to play football with him. Lily said no. She wanted to play with her dolls and her tea set. Tom was sad. He said, "Please, Lily, just try it. Football is fun. You might like it." Lily shook her head. She said, "No, Tom, I hate football. Go away and leave me alone." + +Tom felt hurt. He went away and played football by himself. He kicked it and threw it and caught it. He had fun, but he missed Lily. He wished she would play with him. + +Lily played with her dolls and her tea set. She pretended they were her friends.

Tom heard Lily and saw the dog. He was scared too. He dropped his football and ran towards Lily. The dog chased them, but they were faster. They reached the house and slammed the door. The dog barked and growled, but it could not get in. + +Lily and Tom hugged each other. They were safe. They were glad. They said, "Thank you, thank you, for saving me, for helping me." They smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, for being mean, for being rude." They forgave each other and said, "You are my friend, you are my friend, no matter what, no matter what." + +They learned a lesson. They learned that they did not have to like the same things to be friends. They learned that they should respect each other's choices and feelings. They learned that they should always be alert and help each other when they are in trouble. They learned that they should never hate, but always love. +Lily and Ben were playing with their plastic toys in the garden. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then, they saw a big plastic ball on the other side of the fence. It was shiny and colorful and looked very fun. + +"Wow, look at that ball!" Lily said. "I want to play with it!" + +"Me too!" Ben said. "Let's go get it!" + +They ran to the fence and tried to reach the ball. But it was too far and too high. They could not get it. + +"Maybe we can climb the fence," Lily said. + +"No, that's dangerous," Ben said. "Maybe we can ask the neighbor to give it to us." + +"No, that's rude," Lily said. "Maybe we can throw something at it and make it fall." + +They looked around and saw a plastic shovel and a plastic bucket. They each grabbed one and threw it at the ball. But they missed and hit the fence instead. The noise was loud and scared them. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" a voice said. It was the neighbor, an old man with a beard. He looked angry and came out of his house. He had the ball in his hand. + +"We're sorry, mister," Lily said. "We just wanted to play with your ball." + +"Well, you can't," the neighbor said. "This is my ball and you can't have it. It's not for children. It's for my dog. He likes to chase it and bite it. See?" He threw the ball and a big black dog ran after it and caught it in his mouth. He growled and shook it. + +Lily and Ben felt scared and sad. They wanted to play with the ball, but they could not. They had no right to fight for it. It was not theirs. + +"Come on, let's go back to our toys," Ben said. "They are still fun." + +"Okay," Lily said. "Maybe we can find another ball later." + +They ran back to their toys and tried to forget about the plastic ball. They played with their toys and had fun again. They learned to be happy with what they had and not to fight for what they could not have. +Sara and Tom were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They saw a big boat on the water. It had a blue flag and a big anchor. + +"Look, Sara, a boat!" Tom said. "Let's go see it!" + +They ran to the edge of the water. They saw a man on the boat. He was holding a rope. He was weeping. + +"Why are you weeping, mister?" Sara asked. + +The man looked at them. He wiped his eyes. He said, "I lost my friend. He fell in the water and I can't find him. He was holding the other end of the rope. The rope broke. Now he is gone." + +Sara and Tom felt sad. They wanted to help the man. They said, "We are sorry, mister. We will help you look for your friend. Maybe he is still here." + +They looked around the water. They saw something shiny. It was a watch. It had the same blue flag as the boat. + +"Look, mister, a watch!" Tom said. "Maybe it is your friend's watch!" + +The man took the watch. He smiled. He said, "Yes, it is his watch! Thank you, children. You are very kind. Maybe there is hope. Maybe he is still alive. I will call for help. Maybe they will find him." + +Sara and Tom felt happy. They hoped the man's friend was okay. They said, "You are welcome, mister. We hope you find your friend. We will pray for him." + +They waved to the man. They went back to the sand. They played some more. They thought about the man and his friend. They hoped they would be happy again. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play together. Today was their birthday. They were very happy. Mom and Dad said they would celebrate with a big cake and a lot of balloons. + +Mom and Dad also had a surprise for them. They gave them each a camera.

They wanted to take pictures of the flowers, the birds, and the sky. They also wanted to take pictures of each other. They made funny faces and laughed. + +But then Ben saw something else. He saw a big dog. The dog was barking and growling. It looked angry and dangerous. Ben wanted to take a picture of the dog. He thought it would be cool. + +He ran towards the dog with his camera. He did not see the fence. He did not hear Lily calling him. He did not know the dog was not friendly. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily shouted. "The dog is dangerous! Come back!" + +But it was too late. The dog jumped over the fence and ran towards Ben. Ben was scared. He dropped his camera and tried to run away. But the dog was faster. It bit Ben on his leg. Ben cried out in pain. + +Lily ran to help him. She picked up a stick and hit the dog. The dog let go of Ben and ran away. Lily hugged Ben and said, "Are you okay?" + +Ben was bleeding. He was hurt. He was sad. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was stupid. I wanted to take a picture of the dog. But it was dangerous. I lost my camera. I ruined our birthday." + +Lily said, "No, Ben. You are not stupid. You are brave. You wanted to try something new. But sometimes things are dangerous. You have to be careful. I love you, Ben. You did not ruin our birthday. We still have each other. And we still have cake and balloons." + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came outside. They saw Ben and Lily. They saw the blood and the camera. They were worried and angry. They asked what happened. + +Lily and Ben told them everything. Mom and Dad hugged them and said, "We are glad you are safe. But you should never go near a dangerous dog. You could have been hurt worse. You have to listen to us and to each other. We love you, Lily and Ben. We are proud of you for helping each other. But we are also disappointed in you for being reckless." + +They took Ben to the doctor. The doctor cleaned his wound and gave him a bandage. He said Ben would be fine. He said he was lucky. He said he should be more careful. + +They went back home. They ate cake and blew out the candles. They sang happy birthday. They opened their presents. They played with their balloons. They smiled for the camera. Mom and Dad took a picture of them. They looked happy and sorry. They learned a lesson. They celebrated their birthday. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a cricket on a leaf. It was green and shiny. + +"Look, a cricket!" Lily said. "It can jump very high." + +"Can I hold it?" Ben asked. He reached out his hand. + +"Be gentle," Lily said. "Don't hurt it." + +Ben touched the cricket softly. It tickled his fingers. He smiled. The cricket jumped from his hand to the grass. + +"Wow, it's fast!" Ben said. He tried to catch it again. + +The cricket ran away. It saw a hole in the fence. It went inside. It was dark and quiet. + +"Where did it go?" Lily asked. She looked around. + +"It went in there," Ben said. He pointed to the hole. + +"Let's follow it," Lily said. She crawled to the hole. + +"Wait for me," Ben said. He crawled after her. + +They went through the hole. They saw a big yard. There were many toys and a swing. There was also a dog. It was brown and furry. It saw Lily and Ben. It barked loudly. + +"Uh-oh," Lily said. "It's a dog. It might be angry." + +"Let's go back," Ben said. He turned around. + +But the hole was closed. There was a board over it. It was hard and heavy. They could not move it. + +"Help!" Lily and Ben shouted. "We're stuck!" + +The dog came closer. It sniffed them. It wagged its tail. It licked their faces. + +"Maybe it's friendly," Lily said. She petted the dog. + +"Maybe it likes us," Ben said. He hugged the dog. + +The dog barked again. It was happy. It wanted to play. + +Lily and Ben forgot about the cricket. They played with the dog. They threw a ball and a stick. They swung on the swing. They had fun. + +Soon, they heard a voice. It was their mom. She was looking for them. + +"Lily! Ben! Where are you?" she called. + +"Here, mom!" Lily and Ben answered. They ran to the fence. + +Their mom saw them. She was surprised. She saw the board over the hole. + +"How did you get there?" she asked. + +"We followed a cricket," Lily said. + +"We found a dog," Ben said. + +They told their mom what happened. She smiled. She lifted the board. She helped them out. + +"Are you okay?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom," Lily and Ben said. + +They said goodbye to the dog. They thanked it for playing with them. They went back to their garden. + +They looked for the cricket. They did not see it. It was hiding under a leaf. It was happy. It had made new friends. +Tom likes to play with his toy train. He puts it on the track and pushes a button. The train makes a noise and moves. Tom is happy. + +But then the train stops. Tom looks at it and sees steam. Steam is hot air that comes out of something. The train has steam because it is old and broken. Tom is sad. + +He runs to his mom and shows her the train. He says, "Mom, my train is broken. It has steam. Can you fix it?" Mom looks at the train and smiles. She says, "Don't worry, Tom. I can fix it. I just need to get a new battery. A battery is what makes the train go." + +She goes to the kitchen and gets a new battery. She comes back and opens the train. She takes out the old battery and puts in the new one. She closes the train and gives it to Tom. She says, "Here you go, Tom. Your train is fixed. Try it now." + +Tom puts the train on the track and pushes the button. The train makes a noise and moves. But this time, it moves faster and louder. It is a big train now. Tom is happy. He says, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. I love my big train." He hugs his mom and plays with his train. He sees no more steam. He is happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary. + +"Look, Anna, a scary cloud!" Ben said. "Maybe it will rain." + +"I don't like rain," Anna said. "It makes me wet and cold." + +They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. The scary cloud was angry. + +"Let's go home, Ben," Anna said. "The scary cloud is too loud." + +They ran to their bikes. But the scary cloud was faster. It started to rain. The rain was heavy and cold. + +"Help, Anna, help!" Ben said. "The rain is hurting me." + +Anna saw a big tree. It had many leaves. It looked like a good place to hide. + +"Come on, Ben, follow me!" Anna said. "We can hide under the tree." + +They left their bikes and ran to the tree. They hid under the leaves. The rain could not reach them. + +They hugged each other. They felt safe and warm. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, Anna, I'm okay," Ben said. "Thank you for saving me." + +They waited for the rain to stop. They hoped the scary cloud would go away. + +They saw a bright light. It was the sun. The sun was happy. It chased away the scary cloud. + +They looked at the sky. It was blue and clear. They saw a rainbow. It was colorful and pretty. + +"Look, Anna, a rainbow!" Ben said. "It's a gift from the sun." + +"It's beautiful, Ben," Anna said. "It makes me happy." + +They smiled at each other. They forgot about the rain and the scary cloud. + +They ran to their bikes. They rode home. They told their mom and dad about their adventure. + +They learned a new word. It was "surrender". It meant to give up and stop fighting. + +They decided they would never surrender to the scary cloud. They would always find a way to be brave and happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden with their water guns. They liked to spray each other and the flowers and the bugs. They laughed and ran and had fun. + +But then they saw something shiny and curly on the fence. It was a wire. They wondered what it was for and how it got there. They decided to spray it with their water guns and see what would happen. + +"Maybe it will make a sound or a light," Lily said. + +"Maybe it will move or break," Ben said. + +They aimed their water guns at the wire and sprayed it hard. But nothing happened. The wire just got wet and dripped. + +They were disappointed and bored. They looked for something else to spray. + +But then they heard a voice behind them. It was an elderly man. He was their neighbor, Mr. Lee. He looked angry and scared. + +"Stop! Stop! Don't spray that wire!" he shouted. "It's dangerous! It's for the electric fence! It can shock you or hurt you!" + +Lily and Ben dropped their water guns and ran away. They were sorry and scared. They didn't know the wire was for the electric fence. They didn't want to shock or hurt themselves or Mr. Lee. + +They ran to their mom and told her what happened. She hugged them and said they were lucky and silly. She said they should never spray or touch wires or fences or anything they don't know. She said they should always ask before they play with something new. She said they should say sorry to Mr. Lee and be careful next time. + +Lily and Ben nodded and said yes. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to Mr. Lee and gave him a flower. He smiled and said it was okay. He said he was glad they were safe and happy. He said he would fix the wire and the fence. He said they could play in his garden sometimes, but not with the wire or the fence. + +Lily and Ben thanked him and went back to their garden. They picked up their water guns and sprayed each other and the flowers and the bugs. They laughed and ran and had fun. But they never sprayed the wire or the fence again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were heroes and villains. Lily was a hero and Ben was a villain. Ben had a crystal that he said was very powerful. He hid it in a bush and said he would use it to do bad things. + +Lily wanted to stop him. She looked for the crystal in the bush. She saw something shiny and grabbed it. It was the crystal. It was huge and pretty. It sparkled in the sun. + +"Ha! I found your crystal, Ben!" Lily said. "Now you can't do bad things anymore!" + +Ben was angry. He ran to Lily and tried to take the crystal back. They pulled and pushed. The crystal slipped from their hands and rolled down the hill. It was heading towards the pond. + +"Oh no! The crystal!" Lily and Ben said. They ran after it. They did not want to lose it. + +But the crystal was too fast. It reached the edge of the pond and fell into the water. Lily and Ben stopped. They were sad. They could not see the crystal anymore. + +"Maybe a fish will find it and keep it," Ben said. + +"Or maybe a frog will rescue it and bring it back," Lily said. + +They looked at each other. They smiled. They were not angry anymore. They were friends. + +They decided to play something else. They went to the swings and had fun. They forgot about the crystal. But they did not forget to be nice to each other. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill covered with snow. They wanted to slide down the hill on their sleds. Their mom said they could go, but they had to be careful and listen to their teach. + +Their teach was Mr. Fox, a jolly old man who lived near the hill. He knew how to slide on the snow very well. He showed Anna and Ben how to sit on their sleds, how to steer with their feet, and how to stop with their hands. He said, "Sliding is fun, but you have to watch out for rocks and trees. They can hurt you if you hit them. And don't go too fast or too far, or you might slip and fall." + +Anna and Ben nodded and thanked Mr. Fox. They followed his teach and had a lot of fun sliding down the hill. They laughed and shouted as they felt the wind on their faces and the snow under their sleds. They took turns and waited for each other at the bottom of the hill. + +But after a while, Ben got bored and wanted to try something new. He saw a bigger hill on the other side of the field. It looked more exciting and more steep. He said to Anna, "Let's go to that hill. It's bigger and better. Come on, it'll be fun." + +Anna was not sure. She remembered what Mr. Fox said. She said to Ben, "But that hill is too big and too far. We might get lost or hurt. And what if Mr. Fox gets mad at us? He said to stay here and be careful." + +Ben did not listen to Anna. He said, "Don't be a baby. It's not that big or that far. And Mr. Fox won't know. He's busy talking to mom. Come on, let's go. It'll be fun." + +Ben grabbed his sled and ran to the bigger hill. Anna did not want to go, but she did not want to be alone either. She grabbed her sled and followed Ben. She hoped they would be okay. + +But they were not okay. The bigger hill was too big and too steep for them. They went too fast and too far. They could not steer or stop their sleds. They hit rocks and trees and snow. They slipped and fell and hurt themselves. They cried and called for help. + +Mr. Fox heard them and ran to them. He was not jolly. He was angry and worried. He said, "What did you do? Why did you not listen to me? Why did you go to that hill? You could have been killed. You are very naughty and foolish." + +He helped them up and checked their wounds. They had bruises and cuts and bumps. He said, "You are lucky you are not worse. Come on, let's go back to mom. She will be very upset. And you will be very sorry." + +He took them back to mom. She was very upset. She hugged them and scolded them. She said, "What were you thinking? Why did you not listen to Mr. Fox? Why did you go to that hill? You could have been killed. You are very naughty and foolish." + +She took them home and put them to bed. She said, "You will stay in bed until you feel better. And you will not play outside for a long time. And you will say sorry to Mr. Fox. And you will learn your lesson." + +Anna and Ben said sorry to Mr. Fox and to mom. They felt very bad and very sorry. They learned their lesson. They never went to the bigger hill again. They always listened to their teach and were careful. They still liked to slide on the snow, but only on the small hill. And they always had fun. +Lily and Tom were twins, but they were very different. Lily liked to play with dolls and flowers, and Tom liked to play with cars and bugs. One day, they found a big jar in the garage. It had a picture of a skull and a word they could not read. + +"What is this?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's candy," Tom said. + +He opened the jar and smelled it. It smelled bad, like rotten eggs. + +"Yuck! This is not candy. This is poison," Tom said. + +He threw the jar on the floor and it broke. The poison spilled everywhere. + +"Let's go away. This is dangerous," Lily said. + +She ran to the door, but Tom did not follow her. He saw a big spider crawling on the wall. He liked spiders. He wanted to catch it. + +"Tom, come on. Don't touch the spider. It might bite you," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He crawled on the floor, closer to the spider. He did not see the poison on the floor. He touched it with his hand. It burned his skin. He screamed. + +"Tom, what's wrong?" Lily asked. + +She turned around and saw Tom crying and holding his hand. She saw the poison on the floor and the spider on the wall. She was scared. + +"Help! Help! Mommy! Daddy!" Lily shouted. + +But it was too late. The poison was in Tom's blood. He fell on the floor and stopped moving. Lily cried and hugged him. She wished she could make him better. She wished he had listened to her. + +The moral of the story is: Don't play with things you don't know. They might be dangerous. Listen to your sister or brother. They might save your life. +Tom and Anna were twins, but they were very different. Tom liked to play with cars and trucks, and Anna liked to play with dolls and tea sets. Tom was stubborn and did not like to share his toys, and Anna was kind and liked to make friends. + +One day, Tom saw Anna playing with a new doll that looked like a real infant. It had a soft body, a cute face, and a pink dress. Tom wanted to play with it too, but Anna said no. + +"That's my doll, Tom. You have your own toys. Go away!" Anna said. + +"No, I want it! Give it to me!" Tom said. He tried to grab the doll from Anna, but she held it tight. + +They started to pull and tug on the doll, and they did not notice that something strange was happening. The doll was shrinking in their hands, getting smaller and smaller, until it was the size of a peanut. + +"Look what you did, Tom! You broke my doll!" Anna cried. + +"I didn't do it, you did it!" Tom said. + +They were both scared and sad. They did not know how to fix the doll. They wished they had not fought over it. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was their mom. She had seen everything. + +"Tom, Anna, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over a doll?" she asked. + +They turned around and saw their mom holding a big box. It had a bow and a tag that said "For Tom and Anna, from Grandma". + +"Grandma sent you a present. She said it's a special doll that can shrink and grow. She said you have to be nice to each other and to the doll, or it will stay small forever. Do you want to try it?" she asked. + +Tom and Anna looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they had done. They nodded and said "Yes, please". + +They took the doll from their mom and said "Sorry, doll. We love you. Please grow back". + +They hugged the doll and kissed it. They were surprised and happy when they felt the doll growing in their arms, until it was the same size as before. + +They smiled and thanked their mom and grandma. They decided to share the doll and play nicely with it. They learned that being stubborn and greedy was not fun, and that being kind and generous was much better. +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was shaped like a skeleton and had a scary face. + +"Wow, look at that balloon! It can fly so high!" Tim said. + +"I want to fly too! Let's get a balloon and fly away!" Sam said. + +They ran to the balloon seller and asked for a balloon. The balloon seller was a kind man. He gave them each a balloon and said, "Be careful, don't let go of your balloon or it will fly away." + +Tim and Sam thanked the balloon seller and held their balloons tightly. They pretended to fly with their balloons and had fun. + +But then, a strong wind came and blew their balloons away. Tim and Sam were sad. They cried and ran after their balloons. + +"Come back, balloon! Come back!" they shouted. + +The skeleton balloon saw them and felt sorry for them. It flew down and said, "Don't cry, little ones. I have a gift for you." + +The skeleton balloon gave them each a candy and a sticker. Tim and Sam were surprised and happy. They smiled and said, "Thank you, skeleton balloon. You are very kind." + +The skeleton balloon said, "You're welcome. Remember, flying is fun, but sharing is better. Be kind to others and they will be kind to you." + +Tim and Sam learned a lesson. They hugged the skeleton balloon and said, "We will. Goodbye, skeleton balloon." + +The skeleton balloon flew away and waved to them. Tim and Sam waved back and went home with their candy and stickers. They were happy and grateful. +Tom and Mia were eager to play in the backyard. They saw a big tree with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky. + +"Can we climb the tree, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, but be careful. And don't go too high," Mom said. + +Tom and Mia ran to the tree and grabbed the branches. They pulled themselves up and moved from one branch to another. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces. They heard the birds chirping and the leaves rustling. + +"Look, Mia, I found a hammer!" Tom said. He saw a hammer hanging from a nail on a branch. Someone had left it there. + +"A hammer? What can we do with a hammer?" Mia asked. + +"We can make something. Like a birdhouse or a sign," Tom said. + +"Or we can bang the branches and make noise," Mia said. + +They took turns holding the hammer and hitting the branches. They made loud sounds and laughed. They pretended they were builders or musicians. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing up there?" Dad called from the door. + +"We are playing with a hammer!" Tom and Mia shouted. + +"A hammer? Where did you get a hammer?" Dad asked. + +"We found it on the tree!" Tom and Mia said. + +"Really? Let me see," Dad said. He walked to the tree and looked up. He saw the hammer and the nail. He remembered he had left them there when he was fixing a broken branch. + +"Oops, that's my hammer. I forgot to take it down. Can you give it to me, please?" Dad said. + +"OK, Dad. Here you go," Tom said. He carefully lowered the hammer to Dad. + +"Thank you, Tom. And good job climbing the tree. But next time, don't play with hammers. They can be dangerous," Dad said. + +"OK, Dad. We're sorry," Tom and Mia said. + +"It's OK. I'm glad you had fun. But now it's time to come down and have a snack. How about some cookies and milk?" Dad said. + +"Yay, cookies and milk!" Tom and Mia said. They climbed down the tree and ran to Dad. They hugged him and followed him to the house. They were happy and hungry. They had a great time playing in the backyard. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they both wanted the same one. It was a brown hanger that looked like a horse. Tom grabbed the hanger and said, "This is mine! I saw it first!" + +Lily was angry. She pulled the hanger and said, "No, it is mine! I like it more!" + +They started to fight over the hanger. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not share or take turns. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw Tom and Lily fighting. She was not happy. She said, "Stop fighting, both of you! Fighting is not nice. You have to share and be kind." + +Tom and Lily stopped fighting. They felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Tom." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's better. Now, why don't you play with the hanger together? You can pretend it is a horse and take turns riding it." + +Tom and Lily liked that idea. They played with the hanger together. They had fun and did not fight anymore. They were happy. +Anna likes to play with balloons. She has many balloons of different colors. She likes to blow them up and tie them with strings. Sometimes she lets them go and watches them fly in the sky. + +One day, Anna finds a big balloon in her room. It is shiny and has a number on it. The number is unknown to Anna. She does not know what it means. She thinks it is a special balloon. She wants to show it to her mom and dad. + +She takes the balloon outside and runs to find them. But the wind is strong and the balloon is hard to hold. The string slips from Anna's hand and the balloon flies away. Anna is sad and cries. She wants her balloon back. + +Mom and dad hear Anna's cry and come to see what is wrong. They hug Anna and tell her they are sorry. They explain that the balloon was a gift from her uncle, who lives far away. The number on the balloon was his phone number. He wanted Anna to call him and say hello. + +They say they can call him anyway and tell him what happened. They say they can also get another balloon for Anna. They say they love her very much. Anna feels better and smiles. She says she loves them too. She says she is sorry for releasing the balloon. She says she will be more careful next time. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toys. They have many toys, but they like their lasers best. Lasers are bright and make funny sounds. They can pretend to be space heroes with lasers. + +"Let's play space heroes!" Tom says. "You can be Star and I can be Blaze. We have to save the galaxy from the bad aliens." + +"OK!" Mia says. "But I want to choose my laser first. I want the red one. It is fierce and strong." + +"No, I want the red one!" Tom says. "You can have the blue one. It is cool and fast." + +They both reach for the red laser. They pull and tug. They do not want to share. + +"Stop it!" Mom says. She comes into the room. She sees the lasers and the toys. She is not happy. "You are not playing nice. You have to share your toys. Or you will have no toys at all." + +Tom and Mia look at Mom. They look at each other. They do not want to lose their toys. They do not want to make Mom angry. + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom says. "We will share. Mia, you can have the red laser. I will have the blue one." + +"Thank you, Tom," Mia says. "You are a good brother. You can have the red laser next time." + +They hug and smile. They pick up their lasers. They play space heroes. They have fun. Mom is happy. +Lily and Ben liked to play near the big factory. They saw many trucks and machines and people working there. Sometimes they heard loud noises and saw smoke and sparks. They thought it was fun and exciting. + +One day, they saw a hole in the fence around the factory. They wanted to go inside and see what was there. Ben was nervous, but Lily said, "Don't be scared, it will be fun. Come on, let's go." She took his hand and pulled him through the hole. + +They walked around the factory, looking at the different things. They saw big metal pipes and wires and buttons and levers. They saw a big red sign that said, "Danger. Do not enter." Lily said, "Let's go in there. Maybe there is something cool." Ben said, "No, Lily, we should not. The sign says danger. That means bad. We should go back." He tried to warn her, but she did not listen. + +She opened the door and went in. Ben followed her, because he did not want to be alone. Inside, they saw a big machine that was making a lot of noise and moving fast. They saw a big wheel that was spinning and a big belt that was carrying things. They saw a big button that said, "Stop." Lily said, "I wonder what happens if I press this button." Ben said, "No, Lily, don't. We should not touch anything. We should go now." He tried to warn her again, but she did not listen. + +She reached for the button and pressed it. Suddenly, the machine stopped. The noise stopped. The wheel stopped. The belt stopped. Everything stopped. Lily and Ben were shocked. They heard a loud siren and saw a red light flashing. They heard people shouting and running. They realized they had done something very bad. They were very scared. They wished they had listened to Ben's warnings. They wished they had never gone inside the factory. They wished they could go back. But it was too late. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and pretend they were knights and princesses. One day, they saw a big hill with a cave. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's go and see!" said Ben. "Maybe there is a dragon!" + +Lily was scared. She did not like dragons. They were big and loud and had fire. She said, "No, Ben, I don't want to go. What if the dragon hurts us?" + +Ben said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will protect you. I have a sword and a shield. And I promise, I will not leave you alone. Come on, it will be fun!" + +Lily trusted Ben. He was her best friend. He always kept his promises. She said, "Okay, Ben, I will go with you. But you have to hold my hand." + +Ben nodded. He took Lily's hand and they walked to the cave. They were brave and curious. They wanted to see the dragon. + +When they reached the cave, they heard a roar. It was the dragon! It was big and green and had scales and horns. It saw Lily and Ben and opened its mouth. It was ready to breathe fire. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They wanted to run away. But Ben remembered his promise. He said, "Lily, stay behind me. I will fight the dragon. You are my friend and I will not leave you alone." + +He raised his sword and shield and faced the dragon. He shouted, "Go away, dragon! This is our park and you are not welcome here!" + +The dragon was surprised. It did not expect a little boy to challenge it. It was curious and amused. It said, "Who are you, little boy? And why do you have a sword and a shield?" + +Ben said, "I am Ben, the knight. And this is Lily, the princess. We are playing in the park and you are ruining our game. You are big and loud and have fire. You are scary and mean. You have to leave!" + +The dragon said, "I am not scary and mean. I am lonely and bored. I have no friends and no games. I only have fire. And I like fire. It is warm and bright and beautiful. Do you want to see my fire?" + +Ben said, "No, we don't want to see your fire. Your fire is dangerous and hot and hurts. We don't like fire. We like flowers and trees and swings. We like to play and laugh and hug. We don't want to play with you. You are a dragon and we are not." + +The dragon said, "But I want to play with you. You are brave and curious and have swords and shields. You are fun and interesting and have friends and games. I want to be your friend and play your games. Can I be your friend and play your games?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for the dragon. He was lonely and bored. He wanted to be their friend and play their games. Maybe he was not so scary and mean. Maybe he was just different and misunderstood. Maybe they could be his friends and play his games. + +Lily said, "Okay, dragon, you can be our friend and play our games. But you have to be nice and gentle and not breathe fire. You have to be careful and quiet and not hurt us. You have to promise, promise, promise!" + +The dragon nodded. He said, "I promise, promise, promise! I will be nice and gentle and not breathe fire. I will be careful and quiet and not hurt you. I will be your friend and play your games. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +Lily and Ben smiled. They said, "You're welcome, welcome, welcome! Come on, let's go and play!" + +They took the dragon's hand and they walked out of the cave. They were happy and excited. They had a new friend and a new game. They were successful and proud. They had found the dragon and made him their friend. They had kept their promises and had fun. They were the best knights and princesses in the park. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big swamp near their house. It had green water, brown mud and many frogs and bugs. + +"Let's go to the swamp!" Tom said. "It looks fun!" + +"OK!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. The swamp is deep and wet. We don't want to fall in." + +They put on their boots and hats and walked to the swamp. They saw a big log that they could use as a bridge. They took turns to cross the log and look at the swamp. + +"Wow, look at all the animals!" Lily said. "I see a turtle, a duck and a snake!" + +"Me too!" Tom said. "And I hear a crocodile. It goes 'snap, snap, snap'!" + +They were having a good time, until they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing here?" It was Mr. Brown, the farmer who owned the swamp. He was angry and had a stick in his hand. + +"Uh-oh, we have to go!" Tom said. "He doesn't like us to play here. He says the swamp is dangerous and dirty." + +"Run!" Lily said. "Back to the log!" + +They ran as fast as they could, but Mr. Brown was faster. He reached the log before them and blocked their way. + +"Stop right there!" he shouted. "You are trespassing on my land. You have to join me and help me clean the swamp. It's full of trash and weeds. You have to learn your lesson!" + +Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They didn't want to join Mr. Brown and clean the swamp. They just wanted to play and have fun. They wished they had never gone to the swamp. They wished they had stayed at home. +Lily and Will are playing in the park. They like to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They have a lot of fun together. + +One day, they see a big round thing that spins. It has seats and bars and colors. Lily and Will want to try it. They run to the round thing and sit on a seat. They hold the bars and wait. + +The round thing starts to move. It goes faster and faster. Lily and Will feel the wind on their faces. They laugh and scream. They like the round thing. + +But after a while, the round thing does not stop. It keeps spinning and spinning. Lily and Will feel sick. They want to get off. They shout for help. + +"Help! Help! Stop the round thing!" they shout. + +A man hears them. He is the one who makes the round thing move. He sees Lily and Will. He pushes a button. The round thing slows down and stops. + +Lily and Will get off the round thing. They feel dizzy. They hold each other and sit on the grass. They breathe deeply. + +"Are you okay?" the man asks. + +"Yes, thank you," Lily says. + +"That was too much," Will says. + +They look at each other and smile. They are still friends.

It has power." + +Lily wanted a battery for her car too. She said, "Can I have your battery, Max? Please?" + +Max thought for a moment. He liked his battery, but he also liked Lily. He said, "OK, you can have my battery, but you have to give me something too. How about a sweet? Do you have a sweet?" + +Lily nodded. She had a sweet in her pocket. It was a red, round candy that tasted like cherry. She liked it, but she wanted her car to move more. She said, "OK, I will give you my sweet, but you have to help me put the battery in my car. I don't know how." + +Max agreed. He took the sweet from Lily and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and juicy. He liked it. He said, "Thank you, Lily. Here, I will help you with the battery."

They were sad and mad. + +Mom gave them a bath and a lecture. She said, "Ben and Lily, you need to listen to me. You cannot play in the mud and the puddles. You can get sick. You can hurt yourself. You can make the house dirty. You need to be careful and clean. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They did not want to make Mom angry. They said, "Sorry, Mom, sorry. We understand. We will be careful and clean. We love you, Mom." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Ben and Lily. But next time, please ask me before you play in the garden. OK?" + +Ben and Lily said, "OK, Mom, OK." They hugged Mom and said, "Can we play with our toys now?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can. But only in your room. And no more screaming.

"Then they will be hard like bricks!" + +"OK!" Lily says. "That sounds fun!" + +They put their mud pies on a big rock and wait for the sun to bake them. They go and play with their ball and their dolls. They forget about their mud pies. + +After a while, they remember their mud pies and run back to the rock. They see their mud pies are dry and hard. They try to pick them up, but they are too hot. + +"Ouch!" Ben says. "They are too hot to touch!" + +"Let's wait for them to cool down," Lily says.

Get off my boat and give me back my treasure! Or I will make you walk the plank!" He says. He grabs a sword and runs to the boat. + +Sam and Mia are afraid and sorry. They drop the treasure and run to the edge of the boat. They see a rope with an anchor at the end. They have an idea. + +"Quick! Throw the anchor in the water!" Sam says to Mia. He gives her the rope and helps her throw the anchor. The anchor sinks in the water and pulls the boat with it. The boat starts to tilt and go down. + +The pirate is surprised and angry. He tries to stop the boat from sinking, but it is too late. He drops his sword and holds on to the mast. He shouts and curses. + +"Arrr! You little scoundrels! You have sunk my boat and my treasure! You will pay for this!" He says. His parrot repeats his words. + +Sam and Mia jump in the water and swim away. They are safe and sorry.
