Then it jumped into the water and made a big splash. Lily and Ben laughed and splashed back. They had fun with the frog. + +But soon the frog got tired of splashing and swam away. Lily and Ben looked for other frogs, but they were all hiding. They decided to get out of the water and dry off. + +"Bye, frog," Lily said.

Please don't tell my mom." + +The shopkeeper said, "Lila, you made a bad choice. You have to return the doll and apologize to your mom. She is waiting for you outside.

I have enough." + +She gave back the doll and hugged her mom. Her mom said, "Lila, I'm glad you are sorry. I forgive you, but you have to promise me you will never do that again.

It's your wish, not mine!" he said. + +The lion caught the coin in its mouth and closed its eyes. It made a soft purr and nodded its head.

Now they are gone." + +Ben feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I did not mean to scare the birds. I just wanted to find you." + +Sara says, "It's okay, Ben. I know you were playing. But next time, maybe you can pause and look before you run. Maybe you can be slow and quiet. Then you can see the birds and the flowers and the bugs. They are fun to watch, too." + +Ben nods and says, "You are right, Sara. Next time, I will pause and look. I will be slow and quiet. Maybe we can play a different game. Maybe we can play bird watchers. We can pretend we are birds and make sounds and fly." + +Sara likes the idea. She says, "That sounds like a fun game, Ben. Let's do that. But first, let's find our other friends. Maybe they are hiding under the slide or the swings or the sandbox." + +Ben agrees. He says, "Let's go, Sara. Let's find our other friends.

You can have a big piece. And we have another surprise for you. Look under the table." + +Ben looks under the table and sees a big box wrapped in blue paper. He opens it and finds a new toy train.

What are you doing here?" he shouted. + +He grabbed Tom and Lily and dragged them to the locked door. He opened it and threw them inside. He locked the door again. + +"This is my cell. You will stay here until I decide what to do with you," he said. + +He left them alone. Tom and Lily were scared. They looked around. The cell was small and dirty.

I wanted to see the house," Lily said. + +"No, Lily, don't be sorry. It's not your fault. We were just curious. We will find a way out," Tom said. + +He hugged Lily and tried to be brave. He was thoughtful. He looked at the window, the bucket, the rat. He had an idea. + +"Lily, I have a plan. We need to work together. Can you trust me?" he said. + +"Yes, Tom, I trust you. What is your plan?" Lily said. + +Tom whispered his plan to Lily. They nodded and smiled. They were ready to escape. +Sara and Tom are playing with their dolls.

She thinks maybe Tom is not so bad after all. She thinks maybe they can still be friends. + +"Thank you, Tom, I accept your sorry," Sara says to Tom. "I'm sorry I called your doll ugly and mean.

There are rocks and sticks and bugs that can hurt you. You have to watch where you go." Grandma said. + +"I know, Grandma. I'm sorry. I just wanted to see the butterfly. It was so pretty." Lily said. + +"I understand, Lily. Butterflies are very pretty. But they are also very fast and shy. They don't like to be caught. They like to be free and fly. Maybe next time you can just watch them and enjoy them from a distance." Grandma said. + +"Okay, Grandma. I will do that. Can you play the flute for me again? I like your flute. It makes me happy." Lily said. + +"Of course, Lily. I love to play the flute for you. You make me happy too. Come on, let's go back to the garden. But be careful, okay?" Grandma said. + +"Okay, Grandma.

She tried to write on the ice, but it was too hard. She pushed harder, but the crayon broke. She was sad. + +She saw her friend Tom. Tom had a stick. He was writing on the ice with the stick.

She took the stick from Tom. She tried to write on the ice with the stick, but it was too slippery. She slid and fell. She was hurt. + +"Are you okay, Sara?" Tom asked. He helped her up. + +Sara nodded. She gave the stick back to Tom. She said, "I don't like to write on the ice. I like to write on my book. It is soft and easy. Do you want to write with me?" + +Tom shook his head. He said, "I don't like to write on your book. I like to write on the ice. It is hard and fun.

They say, "We feel bad. We did not mean to break the car. We did not mean to hurt each other. We are sorry, Mom." + +Mom says, "I am glad you are sorry. But sorry is not enough. You need to forgive each other. Forgiving means you say you are not angry anymore. You say you want to be friends again. Can you forgive each other?" + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They remember they are friends. They say, "Yes, we can forgive each other. We are not angry anymore. We want to be friends again." + +They hug and say, "I forgive you. I am sorry. Let's play together." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That is very good. I am proud of you. You are very kind and polite. Now, let's see if we can fix the car. Maybe we can use some glue and tape.

They wanted to buy everything, but they only had a little money. They asked the store lady for help. + +"Hello, little wizards and witches. What are you looking for?" the store lady said. She was very kind and had a big smile. + +"We want to buy some magic things. We want to learn spells and do magic," Lily said. + +"Well, you have come to the right place. I have many magic things for you. But you have to be careful. Magic is not a game. You have to use it wisely and kindly," the store lady said. + +She showed them some books with easy spells for beginners. She also gave them some candles and crystals to help them focus. She said they could have one potion each, but they had to choose wisely. There were potions for different things, like flying, invisibility, and talking to animals. + +Lily and Ben looked at the potions. They were very curious and excited. They wanted to try them all. But they remembered what the store lady said. They had to use magic wisely and kindly. They thought hard about what they wanted. + +Lily chose a potion that made her talk to animals. She loved animals and wanted to be their friend. She thought it would be fun and nice to talk to them. Ben chose a potion that made him fly. He loved to soar and explore. He thought it would be cool and brave to fly. + +They thanked the store lady and paid for their magic things. They went outside and drank their potions. They felt a tingling in their bodies. They felt their magic working. + +Lily saw a bird on a tree. She said hello to the bird. The bird said hello back. Lily was amazed and happy. She asked the bird what its name was and what it liked to do. The bird told her its name was Blue and it liked to sing and fly.

Mom said some berries are bad for us," Max said. + +They went to the bush and picked some berries. They looked juicy and sweet. They each put one in their mouth and bit it. + +Suddenly, they felt strange. They looked at each other and screamed. They were shrinking! + +The berries were magic berries. They made people smaller and smaller. Lily and Max were now as small as ants. + +"Help, Lily, help! What do we do?" Max said. + +"I don't know, Max. We have to find Mom. Maybe she can help us," Lily said. + +They ran to the house, but it was very far and very big. They saw many dangers on the way. A cat, a bird, a worm, a spider. They were scared and tired. + +They finally reached the door, but it was closed. They saw a hole under it. They crawled through it. + +They saw Mom in the kitchen. She was making cookies. She did not see them. They shouted, but she did not hear them. + +They saw a cookie on the table. It was huge. They climbed on it and waved their arms. + +"Mom, Mom, it's us, Lily and Max! We ate magic berries and we shrank! Please help us!" they said. + +Mom turned around and saw them. She was surprised and worried. She picked them up gently and hugged them. + +"Oh, my poor babies! What have you done? Don't worry, I know how to fix this. I have some milk that can make you big again. Drink some and you will be fine," she said. + +She gave them some milk in a thimble. They drank it and felt better. They started to grow again. Soon, they were back to their normal size. + +They were happy and relieved. They hugged Mom and thanked her. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. We were curious and hungry. We did not know the berries were magic," Lily said. + +"It's OK, Lily. I'm glad you are safe. But next time, don't eat anything you don't know. And always listen to me. I love you," Mom said. + +"I love you too, Mom. And you, Max. You are a good brother. You helped me," Lily said. + +"I love you too, Lily. And you, Mom. You are a good mom. You saved us," Max said. + +They smiled and ate some cookies. They were not enthusiastic about berries anymore. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to bake with Mom.

The water spills on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Anna says. "Look what you did, Ben! You made a mess!" + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "I was thirsty." + +Mom hears them. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the water on the floor. She is not happy. She is alert. She does not want them to slip and fall. + +"Anna, Ben, what happened?" Mom asks. + +"Ben spilled the water, Mom," Anna says. + +"I didn't mean to, Mom," Ben says. + +Mom sighs. She gets a towel. She wipes the water. She tells Anna and Ben to be more careful.

She wondered what was wrong with her car. + +She asked her mom for help. Mom looked at the car and said, "I think the car needs a new battery. A battery is a thing that makes the car go. We can go to the store and buy one later." + +Lily nodded. She wanted her car to go again. She put the car on the shelf and went to play with her dolls. But she missed her car. She wanted to hear the noise and see the lights. + +She had an idea. She climbed on a chair and reached for the car. She wanted to peek inside and see the battery. Maybe she could fix it herself. She was very careful and graceful. She did not want to fall or break the car. + +But she did not see the cat. The cat was sleeping on the shelf. The cat did not like to be disturbed.

She was hurt and scared and sorry. Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Lily and the car and the cat. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. I'm sorry you got hurt. And I'm sorry your car is broken. But we can get you a new one. And we can put a band-aid on your hand. And we can give the cat some treats. He didn't mean to be mean. He was just playing." + +Lily sniffed and nodded. She felt better. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to peek at the battery. I wanted to make the car go." + +Mom smiled and said, "I know, honey. You were curious and brave. But sometimes, it's better to ask for help. And sometimes, it's better to leave things alone. Especially when they belong to the cat." +Anna and Ben like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two cones for the goal. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. + +"Your turn, Ben!" Anna says. She passes the ball to Ben. Ben runs with the ball and kicks it hard. But the ball goes too high and flies over the goal. + +"Oops!" Ben says. He feels sad. He wants to score a goal. + +Anna sees that Ben is sad. She wants to be helpful. She has an idea. + +"Let's mix it up!" Anna says. She picks up the ball and the cones. She moves the cones closer to each other. She makes the goal smaller. + +"Now it will be easier to score!" Anna says. She gives the ball to Ben. "Try again, Ben!" + +Ben smiles. He likes Anna's idea. He takes the ball and kicks it again. This time, the ball goes into the goal. + +"Yay!" Ben says.

They have a big loop that they can make their cars go fast on. But Lila is selfish. She does not like to share the loop with Ben. She wants to use it all the time. + +One day, Lila and Ben are playing with their cars in the living room. Lila has the loop and Ben has a ramp. Lila makes her car rush on the loop over and over. She does not let Ben have a turn. + +"Can I use the loop, please?" Ben asks. + +"No, it is mine!" Lila says. + +"But we can take turns. It is more fun that way," Ben says. + +"No, it is not. I like the loop. You can use the ramp," Lila says. + +Ben is sad. He does not like the ramp. He wants to use the loop too. He thinks Lila is not nice.

I should have shared with you," Lila says. + +They hug. They decide to fix the loop together. They use tape and glue. They make the loop work again. They play with their cars. They take turns. They have fun. They are happy. They are not selfish. They are twins. +Tim and Liz are friends who like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon that is floating in the air. It is red and shiny and has a string attached to it. + +"Wow, look at that balloon!" Tim says. "I wonder who lost it." + +"Maybe we can catch it and keep it," Liz says. "It is so pretty." + +They run after the balloon, but it is too high and too fast for them. They follow it across the grass, past the swings, and to the pond. The balloon is getting closer to the water. + +"Be careful, Tim and Liz!" a voice says. It is the park ranger, who is watching them from a bench. "The pond is deep and cold. You might fall in and get hurt." + +Tim and Liz stop and look at the park ranger. He is wearing a green hat and a badge. He has a friendly smile. + +"Hello, sir," Tim says. "We are trying to get the balloon. It is ours now." + +The park ranger shakes his head. "No, it is not yours. It belongs to someone else. And you should not go near the pond. You need oxygen to breathe, and there is no oxygen in the water. Only fish can breathe in the water, because they have gills." + +"What are gills?" Liz asks. + +"Gills are like holes in the sides of the fish. They let the fish take oxygen from the water. But you and I have lungs, not gills. We take oxygen from the air. That is why we can breathe on land, but not in the water." + +Tim and Liz nod. They understand what the park ranger is saying. They look at the balloon again. It is almost touching the water. The string is wet and heavy. + +"Can we have the balloon, please?" Tim asks. "We will be very careful with it. We will not let it go near the pond again." + +The park ranger thinks for a moment. He sees that Tim and Liz are good kids who just want to have fun. He smiles and replies, "Okay, you can have the balloon. But you have to promise me two things. First, you have to share it and play nicely with it. Second, you have to stay away from the pond and other dangerous places. Do you promise?" + +Tim and Liz nod and say, "We promise!" + +The park ranger walks over to the pond and reaches for the balloon. He pulls it out of the water and hands it to Tim and Liz. They thank him and hug the balloon. It is still red and shiny, but a little wet. They can see their faces in it. They are happy. + +They wave goodbye to the park ranger and run back to the grass. They take turns holding the balloon and playing with it. They are careful not to let it go too high or too far. They enjoy the clear sky and the fresh air. They are glad they have the balloon, and each other, and oxygen. +Tom likes to play in the garden. He likes to see the flowers and the bugs. One day, he sees a cricket on the grass. It is brown and shiny and makes a loud noise. + +Tom wants to touch the cricket. He thinks it is funny and cute. He runs to the cricket and tries to catch it with his hand.

He chases the cricket all over the garden. He goes under the bushes, over the rocks, and around the tree. He does not see his mom calling him for lunch.

He hears its noise in his ear. + +Tom smiles and says, "Hello, cricket. You are my friend." He puts the cricket on his shoulder and walks to his mom. He shows her his new friend. His mom smiles and says, "That's a nice cricket, Tom. But you have to let it go soon. It needs to live in the garden, not in the house." + +Tom nods and says, "Okay, mom. I will let it go after lunch. But can I play with it again later?" + +His mom says, "Maybe, Tom. But you have to be gentle and careful. Crickets are wild and fragile. They are not like toys." + +Tom says, "I know, mom. I love crickets. They are fun and noisy and jumpy." + +He eats his lunch with the cricket on his shoulder. He is very happy. He likes to touch the cricket. He likes to have a friend. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a tea party with their dolls and stuffed animals. They poured water from a small pot into tiny cups and pretended it was tea. They also had some cookies and crackers on a plate. + +"Would you like some tea, Mr. Bear?" Lily asked, holding a cup to her doll. + +"Yes, please, Lily. You are very kind," Tom said, making a voice for Mr. Bear. + +They both giggled and sipped their water. They felt happy and cozy. + +But then, Tom felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to hold it in, but he couldn't. He sneezed very loud and hard. He sneezed so hard that he spilled his cup of water all over the plate of cookies and crackers. The water made them soggy and mushy. + +"Oh no, Tom! You ruined our tea party!" Lily cried, looking at the wet mess. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to sneeze," Tom said, feeling sad and sorry. + +But Lily was very angry. She grabbed her doll and her stuffed animals and ran to her room. She slammed the door and locked it. + +"Go away, Tom! You are not my friend anymore!" she shouted. + +Tom knocked on the door and begged her to come out. He said he was sorry and he wanted to play with her again. But Lily did not listen. She ignored him and played with her toys by herself. + +Tom felt very lonely and sad. He wished he could make Lily happy again. He wished he could have a nice tea party with her. He wished he had not sneezed. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to look for it in the grass or behind the trees. + +One time, the ball went very far and landed near the fence. Lily ran to get it, but Ben stopped. He saw something on the other side of the fence. It was a big dog with black fur and sharp teeth. It was barking and growling at them. It looked fierce. + +"Look, Lily, a dog!" Ben said. "Don't go near the fence!" + +But Lily did not hear him. She was too busy getting the ball. She picked it up and turned around. She saw the dog too. She was scared. She dropped the ball and started to cry. + +The dog jumped over the fence and ran towards them. It wanted the ball. Lily and Ben panicked. They ran away from the dog, but it was faster. It caught up with them and grabbed the ball in its mouth. It shook the ball and tore it apart. + +Lily and Ben ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They hugged her and told her what happened. She was angry and worried. She looked at the dog, who was still playing with the ball. It had a wide smile on its face. It did not mean to scare them. It just wanted to play too. + +"Bad dog!" she shouted. "Go away!" + +The dog heard her and dropped the ball. It looked at them with sad eyes. It wagged its tail and whined. It was sorry. It did not know they were afraid. It wanted to be their friend. + +Lily and Ben looked at the dog too. They felt sorry for it. They realized it was not fierce. It was just lonely. + +"Maybe it's not a bad dog," Lily said. "Maybe it's a good dog." + +"Maybe," Ben said. "But I don't want to play with it. It ruined our ball." + +They decided to leave the park and go home. They said goodbye to the dog and walked away. The dog watched them go. It hoped they would come back. It wanted to play with them again. It wanted to give them a new ball. +Tom and Jen were playing hide and seek in the big house. Tom was the seeker and Jen was the hider.

She squeezed behind the clock and waited for Tom to find her. + +Tom counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" He searched the rooms downstairs, but he could not find Jen. He decided to go upstairs and look there. He heard the tick-tock sound of the clock and thought it was strange. He walked towards the clock and saw a pair of feet sticking out from behind it. He smiled and said, "I found you, Jen!" + +He reached for Jen's feet and pulled them. But something went wrong. The clock was not stable and it fell over. It was very heavy and it landed on Jen. Jen screamed and cried. She was hurt and scared. Tom was scared too. He tried to lift the clock, but he could not. He shouted for help, but no one heard him. He did not know what to do. He wished he had never played hide and seek. He wished he had never found Jen. He wished he had never revealed her. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, slide, swing and laugh. They see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. The dog runs to them and wags his tail. + +"Hello, dog!" Lily says. "What is your name?" + +The dog barks and licks Lily's face. Lily giggles. She opens her mouth and shows her teeth. The dog opens his mouth and shows his teeth too. They look the same. + +"Wow, you have a big mouth, dog!" Tom says. "Can you do tricks?" + +The dog nods and sits. He gives his paw to Tom. Tom shakes it and smiles. He throws a stick. The dog runs and catches it. He brings it back to Tom. + +"Good boy, dog!" Tom says. "You are very clever!" + +The dog wags his tail again. He likes Lily and Tom. They are his new friends.

He picks up his phone and pushes the buttons. + +But nothing happens. He does not hear a ring. He does not hear a voice. He only hears the fire. His phone is not a real phone. It is a toy phone. It cannot make calls. It cannot help him. He cries and cries. He does not know what to do. He is alone and in danger. He wishes he had a real phone. He wishes he had his mom and dad. He wishes he had not played with his toys. +Anna loved to visit her grandma's ranch. She liked to see the cows, the horses and the chickens. She also liked to help her grandma water the flowers.

It looked like a big star. Anna asked her grandma what it was. + +"That's a peony, my dear. It's a very special flower. It only blooms for a few days in the spring. It's very fragile, so we have to be careful not to touch it or break it. It's a gift from nature." + +Anna thought the peony was the most beautiful flower she had ever seen. She wanted to smell it and touch it. She waited until her grandma went inside the house to make some tea.

She was glad they were safe. She told them to be careful and quiet. She took them to the kitchen. She gave them some sandwiches and juice. She threw away the burned food. She put the alarm back where it belonged. She hoped they would not play with it again. +Tim and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. Today, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide, but mom says they need socks. + +"Why do we need socks, mom?" Tim asks. + +"Because the slide is very hot, and it can hurt your feet," mom says. "We don't want you to get a boo-boo, do we?" + +"No, we don't," Lily says. "But we don't have socks, mom. We only have shoes." + +Mom smiles and says, "Don't worry, I have a surprise for you. Look in my bag." + +Tim and Lily look in mom's bag and see two pairs of socks. But they are not normal socks. They are incredible socks. They have bright colors, stripes, stars, and sparkles. They are the most beautiful socks Tim and Lily have ever seen. + +"Wow, mom, these socks are incredible!" Tim says. + +"They are so pretty, mom, thank you!" Lily says. + +"You're welcome, my loves," mom says. "Now, put them on and let's go to the slide." + +Tim and Lily put on their incredible socks and run to the slide. They feel the socks on their feet, soft and warm. They slide down the slide, fast and fun. They laugh and shout with joy. They have the best time ever with their incredible socks. +Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom and Dad. They brought a cooler with snacks and drinks. Tom and Lily liked to play on the swings and the slide. They also liked to run and chase each other. + +"Can we have a snack, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. Let's go to the cooler and see what we have," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily followed Mom to the cooler. Mom opened it and took out some apples and cheese. She gave one to each of them. + +"Thank you, Mom," Tom and Lily said. + +They sat on a blanket and ate their snacks. They were yummy and crunchy. + +Suddenly, they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. It looked friendly, but Tom and Lily were scared. + +"Mom, look! A dog!" Tom shouted. + +"Stay calm, kids. It's probably just looking for some food," Mom said. + +But the dog did not stop. It ran to the cooler and grabbed it with its mouth. It shook it and tried to open it. + +"Hey, stop that! That's our cooler!" Dad yelled. + +He ran to the dog and tried to get the cooler back. The dog growled and pulled harder. + +"Help, Dad!" Tom and Lily cried. + +Mom picked up Tom and Lily and hugged them. She told them not to worry. She said Dad was strong and helpful. He would get the cooler back. + +Dad managed to grab the cooler from the dog. He held it tight and shouted at the dog. + +"Go away, bad dog! This is not yours!" Dad said. + +The dog barked and ran away. It looked sad and hungry. + +Dad brought the cooler back to the blanket. He checked if the snacks and drinks were still okay. They were a bit messy, but still good. + +"Are you okay, kids?" Dad asked. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were still a bit scared, but also relieved. + +"Thank you, Dad. You are very helpful," Tom and Lily said. + +They hugged Dad and gave him a kiss. + +"You're welcome, kids. I love you," Dad said. + +They hugged Mom too and said they loved her. + +They finished their snacks and drinks. They decided to play some more in the park. They hoped the dog would find some food somewhere else. They were happy and safe. +Ben loves trains. He has many trains in his room. He plays with them every day. He makes them go fast and slow. He makes them stop and go. He makes them say choo-choo. + +One day, Ben gets a new train. It is big and red. It has a shiny whistle. It has a long tail. It can move by itself. Ben is very happy. He wants to show his new train to his friend Tom. + +He puts his new train in a bag. He runs to Tom's house. He knocks on the door. Tom opens the door. He sees Ben and his bag. + +"Hi, Ben. What do you have in your bag?" Tom asks. + +"I have a new train. It is big and red. It is very cool. Do you want to see it?" Ben says. + +"Yes, I want to see it. Let me see it." Tom says. + +Ben opens his bag. He takes out his new train. He holds it in his hands. He shows it to Tom. + +"Wow, it is a new train. It is big and red. It is very cool. Can I hold it?" Tom says. + +"OK, you can hold it. But be careful. It is my new train. I love it." Ben says. + +Tom takes the new train from Ben. He holds it in his hands. He looks at it. He likes it. He wants it. + +"I like your new train. It is big and red. It is very cool. I want it. It is mine now." Tom says. + +He puts the new train in his bag. He runs to his room. He locks the door. + +"Hey, give me back my new train. It is not yours. It is mine. I got it today. It is my new train. I love it." Ben says. + +He runs after Tom. He bangs on the door. He cries. + +"Open the door. Give me back my new train. It is not fair. You are a bad friend." Ben says. + +Tom does not open the door. He does not give back the new train. He is mean. He does not care. + +He takes the new train out of his bag. He plays with it. He makes it go fast and slow. He makes it stop and go. He makes it say choo-choo. + +But he is not happy. He is bored. He does not love the new train. He does not know how to play with it. + +He gets angry. He throws the new train on the floor. He kicks it. He stomps on it. He tears it. He breaks it. + +The new train is broken. It does not move. It does not whistle. It does not say choo-choo. It is sad. + +Tom is sad too. He knows he did a bad thing. He knows he hurt Ben. He knows he lost a friend. + +He opens the door. He sees Ben. He sees his tears. He feels sorry. + +"Ben, I am sorry. I did a bad thing. I took your new train. I broke your new train. I was mean. I was not a good friend. Can you forgive me?" Tom says. + +Ben looks at Tom. He looks at his broken new train. He is sad. He is angry. He is hurt. + +But he is also kind. He is also good. He is also a friend. + +He picks up his broken new train. He holds it in his hands. He gives it to Tom. + +"Tom, I forgive you. You did a bad thing. You took my new train. You broke my new train. You were mean. You were not a good friend. But you are sorry. You are sad. You are my friend. Maybe we can fix it. Maybe we can play with it. Maybe we can share it." Ben says. + +Tom takes the broken new train. He holds it in his hands. He hugs Ben. + +"Ben, thank you. You are a good friend. You are kind. You are good. You forgive me. Maybe we can fix it. Maybe we can play with it. Maybe we can share it." Tom says. + +They smile. They hug. They are friends. They love trains. +Mira and Ben like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings, slide on the slide, and run on the grass. They are very happy and have fun. + +One day, they see a big map on the wall of the park. The map has many colors and shapes. Mira and Ben are curious. They want to learn more about the map. + +They ask their mom, who is sitting on a bench, what the map is. Mom says the map shows the world. The world is very big and has many places. She points to a place on the map that is yellow and says, "This is east. East is where the sun comes up in the morning." + +Mira and Ben look at the yellow place. They see many dots and lines. Mom says, "The dots are cities and the lines are roads. The people who live in east are very organized. They make their cities and roads neat and tidy." + +Mira and Ben think that is cool. They wonder what the other places on the map are like. They ask mom if they can go to east someday. Mom says, "Maybe, when you are older. But for now, you can swing on the swings and pretend you are flying to east." + +Mira and Ben smile. They run to the swings and swing high and fast. They imagine they are flying to east and seeing the neat and tidy cities and roads. They are very happy and have fun. +Ben and Lily like to play in the garden. They look for bugs and make houses for them. They use sticks, leaves and stones. They are very careful not to hurt the bugs. + +One day, they find a big green bug with long legs and wings. They think it is a grasshopper. They make a house for it in a shoebox. They put some grass and water inside. They poke some holes in the lid so the bug can breathe. + +"Hello, Mr. Grasshopper," Ben says. "We are your friends. We will take care of you. You can stay in our house as long as you want." + +"Thank you, Ben and Lily," the bug says. "You are very kind and dependable. You have made me a nice home. I am happy here." + +Ben and Lily are surprised. They did not know the bug can talk. They are very curious. They ask the bug many questions. They learn that the bug is not a grasshopper, but a cricket. He tells them his name is Chirpy. He tells them how he makes music with his wings. He tells them about his family and friends. He tells them stories and jokes. + +Ben and Lily have a lot of fun with Chirpy. They laugh and sing and play. They share their snacks and toys with him. They become good friends. They are glad they found the bug in the garden. He makes them happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom cook. They liked to mix, stir, and taste the food. But today, mom was cooking something boring. She was cooking rice and beans. + +"Mom, can we cook something else?" Ben asked. "Rice and beans are boring." + +"Sorry, Ben, but we have to cook rice and beans today. We don't have much money to buy other food. Rice and beans are cheap and good for us." Mom said. + +"But mom, we eat rice and beans every day. Can we have some cheese or eggs or apples?" Lily said. + +"Maybe next week, Lily, if we find a good price. But today, we have to be happy with what we have. Rice and beans are not so bad. You can add some salt or pepper or ketchup to make them more tasty." Mom said. + +Ben and Lily sighed. They did not like salt or pepper or ketchup. They wanted something different. They wanted something fun. They wanted something yummy. + +They looked at each other and had an idea. They whispered to each other and smiled. They went to their room and got their crayons and paper. They came back to the kitchen and started to draw. + +"Mom, look what we made!" Ben said. "We made our own food!" + +Mom looked at their drawings. They had drawn pizza, ice cream, cake, and candy. They had drawn happy faces and hearts and stars. + +"That's very nice, Ben and Lily. You are very creative. But you know you can't eat paper, right?" Mom said. + +"We know, mom. But we can pretend. We can pretend we are eating pizza, ice cream, cake, and candy. We can pretend we are having a party. We can pretend we are not bored." Lily said. + +Mom smiled. She hugged Ben and Lily and kissed them. She was proud of them. They were smart and sweet and brave. They knew how to make the best of a bad situation. They knew how to have fun with their imagination. + +"Okay, Ben and Lily. You can pretend. But you have to eat some rice and beans too. They are good for you. And maybe, just maybe, I have a surprise for you later." Mom said. + +Ben and Lily wondered what the surprise was. They hoped it was something good. They hoped it was something yummy. They hoped it was not more rice and beans. +Anna and Ben went to the shop with Mom. They wanted to buy some candy for a treat. Mom gave them each two coins and said they could choose one thing each. + +Anna and Ben looked at all the candy. There were many colors and shapes. Anna saw a big red lollipop. She liked lollipops. She picked it up and looked at the price. It said one coin. She was happy. She had one coin left. + +Ben saw a small bag of gummy bears. He liked gummy bears. He picked it up and looked at the price. It said two coins. He was confused. He only had two coins. He wanted to buy something else too. + +He asked Mom, "Mom, can I have more coins?" + +Mom said, "No, Ben. You only have two coins. You can buy one thing or two things, but not more." + +Ben did not understand. He said, "But I want gummy bears and something else." + +Mom said, "Ben, you have to count. If you buy gummy bears, you have to give both coins. Then you have no coins left. If you buy something else, you have to give one coin. Then you have one coin left. You can buy another thing with one coin." + +Ben tried to count. He held up one coin and said, "One." He held up another coin and said, "Two." He looked at the gummy bears and said, "Two." He looked at the other candy and said, "One." + +He thought for a long time. He liked gummy bears, but he also liked other candy. He did not know what to do. + +Anna saw Ben was confused. She wanted to help him. She said, "Ben, I have an idea. Why don't we share? You can buy gummy bears with your two coins, and I can buy lollipop with my one coin. Then we can both have some gummy bears and some lollipop." + +Ben liked Anna's idea. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good sister. Let's share." + +They gave their coins to the shopkeeper and took their candy. They walked out of the shop with Mom. They were happy. They counted their candy and ate it together. They said, "Yummy!" +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big shed with a door. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They opened the door and went in. It was dark and dusty. They saw many things: a bike, a ball, a rake, a box. They also saw many cobwebs. Cobwebs are sticky and white. They are made by spiders. + +"Look, Tom, a cobweb!" Lily said. She pointed to a corner. "It is so big and pretty!" + +Tom did not like cobwebs. He was scared of spiders. He wanted to go out. "No, Lily, cobwebs are not nice. They are yucky. Spiders can bite. Let's go!" + +But Lily was curious. She wanted to touch the cobweb. She reached out her hand. "No, don't!" Tom said. He grabbed her arm. "You will get stuck!" + +But it was too late. Lily touched the cobweb. Her hand got stuck. She tried to pull it back. But the cobweb was too strong. She could not move her hand. She started to cry. + +"Help, Tom, help! I can't get my hand out!" + +Tom wanted to help Lily. He did not want her to cry. He had to solve the problem. He looked around. He saw the rake. He had an idea. + +He took the rake. He used it to cut the cobweb. He cut and cut until Lily's hand was free. He gave her a hug. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" he asked. + +"Yes, Tom, thank you. You are so brave and smart. You solved the problem. You are a good brother." + +Lily smiled. Tom smiled. They were happy. They decided to leave the shed. They did not like cobwebs anymore. They liked to play in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They liked to be together. They were nice. +Lily liked to cook with her mom. She helped her mom make eggs and toast for breakfast. She cracked the eggs and put them in a bowl. She put bread in the toaster. She watched her mom stir the eggs in a pan on the stove. + +Lily was curious about the stove. She wanted to see how it worked. She saw a knob that said "off" and "on". She wondered what would happen if she turned it. She reached for the knob with her hand. + +"Stop, Lily!" her mom said. "The stove is hot. It can hurt you. You have to be careful." She moved Lily away from the stove. She turned off the heat and took the pan off the stove. She hugged Lily and said, "I love you, but you have to listen to me. The stove is not a toy. It is for cooking only." + +Lily felt sorry. She did not want to make her mom angry. She did not want to get hurt. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was curious. I won't touch the stove again." She gave her mom a kiss and said, "I love you, too." + +Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you are curious. But you have to be safe. There are many other things you can explore and learn. Come on, let's eat our breakfast. It looks yummy." She put the eggs and toast on plates and gave one to Lily. They sat at the table and ate their breakfast together. They talked and laughed and had fun. Lily was happy. She liked to cook with her mom. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and read books. But they do not like to eat vegetables. They think vegetables are yucky and boring. + +One day, their mom makes a big salad for lunch. She puts lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers and cheese in a bowl. She says, "This is a healthy salad. It has many colors and vitamins. It will make you strong and smart. You should try some." + +Lily and Ben shake their heads. They say, "No, thank you, mom. We do not want salad. We want pizza and cookies. They are yummy and fun." + +Their mom smiles. She says, "Pizza and cookies are good sometimes, but not every day. You need to eat vegetables too. They are good for you. Do you know what vegetables can do?" + +Lily and Ben look at their mom. They are curious. They say, "No, mom. What can vegetables do?" + +Their mom says, "Well, vegetables can help you grow taller, run faster, see better, and learn more. They can also make you happy and brave. They are like magic food. You just have to believe in them." + +Lily and Ben think about what their mom says. They wonder if vegetables are really magic. They say, "Really, mom? Can vegetables do all that?" + +Their mom says, "Yes, really. Why don't you try some and see for yourself?" + +Lily and Ben decide to try some salad. They take a small bite of lettuce, tomato, carrot, cucumber and cheese. They chew slowly and taste the flavors. They are surprised. They say, "Wow, mom. This salad is not yucky or boring. It is crunchy and sweet and salty. It is delicious." + +Their mom is happy. She says, "I'm glad you like it. See, vegetables are not so bad. They are healthy and tasty. And they are magic, if you believe in them." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We believe you, mom. We like vegetables now. Can we have some more salad, please?" + +Their mom says, "Of course, you can. Here you go. Enjoy your lunch, my healthy and happy twins." +Anna loves to paint. She has many colors and brushes. She paints flowers and trees and animals. She likes to make her pictures bright and happy. + +One day, Anna paints a tea party. She paints a big table with cups and plates and cakes. She paints her friends and her toys sitting around the table. She paints herself in a pretty dress and a hat. She smiles as she paints. + +When she is done, she shows her picture to her mom. Her mom is very proud of Anna. She says, "What a lovely tea party, Anna! You are a great painter. Do you want to have a real tea party with me?" + +Anna nods and claps her hands. She and her mom go to the kitchen. They make some tea and toast and jam. They put them on a tray and take them to Anna's room. They sit on the floor and pretend to have a tea party with Anna's picture and toys. + +They sip their tea and talk and laugh. They are very calm and happy. Anna thinks, "This is the best tea party ever." +Tom and Anna are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big hill with a lot of fog on top. They want to go and see what is there. + +"Let's go to the hill!" Tom says. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"No, Tom, we can't!" Anna says. "Mommy said the fog is dangerous. She said we can get lost or hurt in the fog. We have to stay here." + +"But I want to go!" Tom says. He is not happy. He runs away from Anna and goes to the hill. He does not listen to Anna. + +Anna is scared. She does not want Tom to go. She follows him and tries to stop him. She calls his name, but he does not hear her. He is too far away. + +Tom gets to the hill. He sees the fog. It is thick and white and cold. He cannot see anything else. He thinks it is cool. He points at the fog and laughs. He walks into the fog. + +Anna gets to the hill. She sees Tom go into the fog. She is very scared. She does not want to go into the fog. She cries and shouts. + +"Tom, come back! Come back, Tom! The fog is dangerous! Mommy will be angry! Please, Tom, come back!" + +But Tom does not come back. He is lost in the fog. He cannot see Anna. He cannot see the park. He cannot see the way back. He is alone and afraid. He wishes he listened to Anna. He wishes he stayed with her. He wishes he was not in the fog. +Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big truck with ice cream. Mom bought them each a cone with chocolate ice cream. Tom and Lily were very happy. + +They sat on a bench and licked their cones. But then Tom felt something tickle his nose. He tried to hold it in, but he could not. He sneezed very loud and his cone flew out of his hand. It landed on the grass with a splat. + +"Oh no!" Tom cried. "My ice cream is gone!" + +Lily looked at her brother and felt sorry for him. She had an idea. She broke her cone in half and gave one piece to Tom. + +"Here, Tom. You can have some of mine. We can share." + +Tom smiled and thanked Lily. He took the half cone and licked it. It was still cold and sweet. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. Sharing is not difficult. It is fun." + +Mom heard them and smiled too. She was proud of her children. She hugged them and said, "You are both very good. I love you very much." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. But today it is cold. The wind blows and the leaves fall. Lily and Tom wear hats and coats. + +"Let's go to the library," Lily says. "We can read books and be warm." + +"OK," Tom says. "I like books. Books have pictures and stories." + +They walk to the library. It is not far. They see many books on the shelves. Lily and Tom smile. They love books. + +Lily grabs a book. It is about animals. She likes animals. She shows Tom the book. + +"Look, Tom," she says. "This is a lion. It is big and yellow. It roars." + +"Wow," Tom says. "That is a cool animal. Can I see?" + +He grabs the book from Lily. He wants to look at the lion. But Lily is not happy. She wants the book back. + +"Hey, Tom," she says. "That is my book. Give it back." + +"No, Lily," Tom says. "I want to see the lion. It is my book now." + +They pull the book. They are angry. They do not share. The book rips. They hear a loud sound. They stop. + +"Oh no," Lily says. "We broke the book. We are bad." + +They look at the book. It is torn. They feel sad. They are sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom says. "I should not have grabbed the book. You can have it." + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily says. "I should have let you see the lion. You can have it." + +They hug. They are friends again. They go to the librarian. They show her the book. + +"We are sorry, miss," they say. "We ripped the book. We were not careful." + +The librarian looks at the book. She looks at Lily and Tom. She sees they are sorry. She smiles. + +"It's OK, kids," she says. "I'm glad you like books. But you have to be gentle and share. Can you do that?" + +"Yes, miss," Lily and Tom say. "We can do that. We will be good." + +The librarian gives them a new book. It is about dinosaurs. They like dinosaurs. They say thank you. They sit on a couch. They read the book together. They are warm and happy. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they found some paper and decided to make boats. They folded the paper into different shapes and sizes. Then they ran to the creek behind their house to sail their boats. + +"Look, my boat is the fastest!" Tim said, as he put his big, red boat in the water. He pushed it with a stick and watched it zoom away. + +"Mine is the prettiest!" Sam said, as he put his small, yellow boat in the water. He blew on it gently and watched it float along. + +They had fun watching their boats go up and down the creek. But then they saw something that made them stop. A big, brown fish jumped out of the water and ate Tim's boat in one bite. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Tim cried. He was angry and sad. He wanted his boat back. + +"Sorry, Tim. Maybe the fish was hungry." Sam said. He felt sorry for his brother. He looked at his boat and had an idea. "Here, you can have my boat. I don't mind." + +"Really? Thank you, Sam. You are very kind." Tim said. He smiled and hugged his brother. He took Sam's boat and put it in the water. He blew on it gently and watched it float along. + +They played with Sam's boat together until it was time to go home. They learned that sharing is caring and that sometimes things don't go as planned. But they still had each other and that was the most important thing. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big bird soar in the sky. It had long wings and a sharp beak. It looked strong and free. + +"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily said. "I wish I could soar like that." + +"Me too," Max said. "Maybe we can learn how to fly." + +They ran to their mom, who was doing yoga on a mat. Yoga was a way to stretch and relax. Mom liked yoga a lot. + +"Mom, mom, can you teach us how to fly?" Lily and Max asked. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. "I'm sorry, my loves, but people can't fly like birds. We have different bodies and abilities. But we can do other things that birds can't, like talk and sing and draw and read." + +"But we want to soar, mom," Lily and Max said. "It looks so fun and cool." + +Mom thought for a moment. Then she said, "How about this? I'll teach you some yoga poses that can make you feel like you're soaring. They can also help you be healthy and happy. Do you want to try?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They followed mom to the mat and did some yoga poses with her. They did the eagle pose, where they wrapped their arms and legs and balanced on one foot. They did the airplane pose, where they lifted one leg and stretched their arms to the sides. They did the cobra pose, where they arched their back and lifted their chest. They did the tree pose, where they stood on one leg and raised their arms like branches. + +As they did the yoga poses, they felt their bodies move and breathe. They felt their muscles and bones and skin. They felt their hearts and minds and spirits. They felt alive and happy. + +They realized that they didn't need to fly like birds to soar. They could soar in their own way, by being themselves and doing what they loved. + +They thanked mom for teaching them yoga. They hugged her and said, "We love you, mom. You're the best." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, my loves. You're the best too." + +They learned that day that everyone is different and special. They learned to appreciate what they have and what they can do. They learned to soar in their own way. And that was the moral of the story. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garage. They had many toys there, like cars, balls, and dolls. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was full of old books and clothes. + +"What is this?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe it is a gift for us," Ben said. + +They opened the box and looked inside. They saw many things they did not know. There were words and pictures in the books, but they could not read them. There were clothes that were too big and too old for them. There were also some shiny things that looked like coins. + +"Wow, look at these!" Ben said. He picked up some of the shiny things and put them in his pocket. + +"Can I have some too?" Lily asked. + +"No, they are mine. I found them first," Ben said. + +He did not want to give any to Lily. He wanted to keep them all for himself. + +Lily was sad. She did not like it when Ben was mean to her. She looked at the books and clothes again. She saw a hat that had a feather on it. She thought it was pretty. She put it on her head. + +"Look at me, I am a princess!" she said. + +She saw a book that had a picture of a lion on it. She thought it was brave. She opened the book and pretended to read it. + +"Look at me, I am a wise lion!" she said. + +She saw a coat that had buttons on it. She thought it was warm. She put it on her shoulders. + +"Look at me, I am a cozy bear!" she said. + +She was happy. She liked to play with the books and clothes. She did not need the shiny things. + +Ben saw Lily having fun. He felt sorry. He did not have fun with the shiny things. They were cold and hard. He did not know what to do with them. + +He took some of the shiny things out of his pocket. He walked over to Lily. + +"Here, you can have some of these," he said. + +He gave some of the shiny things to Lily. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind," Lily said. + +She smiled at Ben. She gave him a hug. + +They shared the shiny things. They played with the books and clothes. They had fun in the garage. They were happy. +Sam likes to add things. He adds blocks to make a tower. He adds stickers to his book. He adds crayons to his box. He adds fun to his day. + +One day, Sam sees a brown dog in the park. The dog is big and furry. The dog has a ball in his mouth. Sam wants to play with the dog. He runs to the dog and says, "Hi, dog!" + +The dog is happy to see Sam. He drops the ball and wags his tail. He licks Sam's face and jumps on him. Sam laughs and hugs the dog. He adds the dog to his friends. + +Sam's mom sees Sam and the dog. She smiles and walks to them. She says, "Hello, Sam. Hello, dog. What is your name, dog?" The dog barks and shows his tag. His name is Max. + +Sam's mom says, "Max, you are a nice dog. Do you have a home, Max?" Max nods and points with his paw. He has a home nearby.

You are very brave and kind." He gives Tom a smile and a pat on the head. + +Tom smiles back and says, "You're welcome. But please keep your dog on a leash. The pigeons are not toys.

Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away, but they always ran after it and got it back. + +One time, Ben threw the ball too hard and it flew over the fence. Lily and Ben ran to the fence and looked for the ball, but they could not see it. It was on the other side, where the big road was. There were many cars and trucks and buses on the road. They made a lot of noise and smoke. + +"Oh no, we lost our ball!" Lily said. She felt sad and angry. She liked the ball very much. It was a gift from her grandma. + +"Maybe we can get it back," Ben said. He was brave and smart. He looked for a hole in the fence, but there was none. He looked for a gate, but it was locked. He looked for a person, but there was no one. + +"We can't get it back," he said. He felt sad and scared. He did not like the road. It was dangerous and dirty. + +Lily and Ben sat on the grass and hugged each other. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted to go home. The sky was gloomy and gray. It looked like it was going to rain. They wished they had their ball. It was bright and fun. It made them happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and make jokes. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box is shiny and has a lock. Lily and Ben want to see what is inside. + +They try to open the lock, but it is too hard. They try to shake the box, but it is too heavy. They try to kick the box, but it is too strong. They are sad and angry. They want to know the secret of the box. + +Then, Lily has an idea. She says, "Let's drop the box from the slide. Maybe it will break and we can see what is inside." Ben thinks it is a good idea. He says, "Let's do it. Maybe it is a joke and there is something funny inside." + +They carry the box to the slide. It is very hard and they are very tired. They put the box on the top of the slide. They push the box and it slides down. It goes very fast and makes a loud noise. It hits the ground and breaks open. + +Lily and Ben run to the box. They look inside. They see many shiny things. They are rings and necklaces and bracelets. They are very pretty and sparkly. They are expensive. Lily and Ben are very happy. They think they are rich. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is a man. He is angry. He says, "Hey, you kids! What are you doing with my box? That is my jewelry. It is very expensive. You broke my box and my lock. You are very bad. Give me back my jewelry." + +Lily and Ben are scared. They drop the jewelry and run away. They think they are in trouble. They think the man is not joking. They think the box was not a joke. They think it was a mistake. They are very sorry. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden with their mom. Mom shows them how to plant seeds in the soil. She says, "One day, these seeds will grow and bloom. They will make pretty flowers of many colors." + +Sara and Ben are excited. They water the seeds every day and watch for signs of life. They ask mom, "When will they bloom? When will we see the colors?" Mom says, "Be patient, my loves. It takes time for the seeds to sprout and grow. They need sun and rain and love." + +One morning, Sara and Ben wake up early. They run to the garden and see a wonderful sight. The seeds have bloomed! They see red and yellow and pink and purple and white flowers. They smell sweet and fresh. Sara and Ben clap their hands and cheer. They pick some flowers and give them to mom. Mom hugs them and says, "You did a great job, my loves. You helped the seeds bloom. They are beautiful, just like you." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They play with the flowers and make crowns and necklaces. They sing and dance and laugh. They have fun in the garden until they feel sleepy. They lie down on the grass and close their eyes. Mom covers them with a blanket and says, "Good night, my loves. Sleep well and dream of colors." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has a name. His name is Max. Max is clean and friendly. He likes to run and jump. + +"Hi, Max!" Lily says. "Can we play with you?" + +Max wags his tail. He barks. He wants to play.

She says, "Lily, you should not write on the wall. That is bad. You have to rub it off." + +Lily is sad. She does not want to rub off her heart. She likes her heart. She says, "But mom, I love you. I write a heart for you." Her mom says, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to write on paper, not on the wall. The wall is not for writing. The paper is for writing." + +Lily understands. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I will write on paper next time." She gets a cloth and some water. She rubs the wall. She rubs hard. She rubs until the heart is gone. She says, "Look, mom. I rub the wall. The wall is clean." + +Her mom smiles. She says, "Good job, Lily. You are a kind girl. You listen to mom. You fix your mistake. I am proud of you." She hugs Lily. She gives her a kiss. She says, "Do you want to write some more?" Lily nods. She says, "Yes, mom. I want to write some more. But on paper, not on the wall." Her mom says, "Okay, Lily. Let's write some more. But first, let's have a snack. You must be hungry." Lily says, "Yes, mom. I am hungry. Thank you, mom. You are kind too." They go to the kitchen. They have a snack. They write some more. They are happy. +Sara and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Sara got a new bracelet from her mom. It was delicate and shiny, with pink and purple beads. Sara was very happy and showed it to Mia. + +"Wow, that is so pretty!" Mia said. "Can I try it on?" + +Sara nodded and gave her the bracelet. Mia put it on her wrist and admired it. She felt like a princess. + +"Can I keep it?" Mia asked. + +Sara was surprised. She loved her bracelet and did not want to give it away. + +"No, Mia, it is mine. Mom gave it to me. You have to give it back," Sara said. + +Mia did not listen. She liked the bracelet too much. She ran away with it, laughing. + +"Hey, stop! That is not fair!" Sara shouted. She chased after Mia. + +They ran around the yard, until they reached the swing. Mia jumped on the swing and tried to swing high. Sara followed her and tried to grab the bracelet. + +"Give it back, Mia, please!" Sara begged. + +"No, it is mine now!" Mia said. + +Sara was angry. She pushed Mia off the swing. Mia fell to the ground and cried. The bracelet flew off her wrist and landed on a rock. It broke into pieces. + +Sara and Mia both looked at the broken bracelet. They felt sad and sorry. They realized they had been mean to each other. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I should not have taken your bracelet. It was wrong," Mia said. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I should not have pushed you. It was mean," Sara said. + +They hugged and said they were still friends. They picked up the pieces of the bracelet and gave them to Sara's mom. She fixed the bracelet and gave it back to Sara. + +Sara smiled and thanked her mom. She looked at Mia and said, "Do you want to share the bracelet with me? We can take turns wearing it." + +Mia nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, I would like that. Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend." + +They hugged again and went to play with their dolls. They learned that sharing is better than fighting, and that friendship is more precious than any bracelet. +Lily and Ben were playing dress-up in the attic. They found some fancy clothes that belonged to their grandma. Lily put on a long pink dress and a shiny necklace. Ben wore a black suit and a hat. They pretended to be at a party. + +"Hello, madam," Ben said in a deep voice. "You look very pretty today. May I have this dance?" + +"Why, thank you, sir," Lily said in a high voice. "You are very kind. Yes, let us dance." + +They held hands and spun around the attic. They laughed and had fun. But then, Ben felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to hold it in, but he could not. He sneezed very loud and hard. The hat flew off his head and hit a lamp. The lamp fell over and broke. Glass pieces were everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "You broke grandma's lamp! She will be very angry. And look, you have a cut on your hand. It is bleeding. You need a band-aid." + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I did not mean to sneeze. It was an accident. And my cut is not that bad. It does not hurt much." + +But Lily was not happy. She was scared and mad. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. She took off the fancy clothes and ran downstairs. She told their mom what happened. + +Mom came upstairs and saw the mess. She was not happy either. She told Ben to clean up the glass and to put a band-aid on his cut.

He wished he could say sorry to grandma. He wished he could play dress-up again. He wished he had a friend. +Lily and Max are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big tree with many leaves. Lily thinks there is something hidden under the tree. + +"Max, come with me. I want to look under the tree," Lily says. + +"Why?" Max asks. + +"Maybe there is a treasure. Maybe there is a silver ring or a silver coin," Lily says. + +They run to the tree and start to dig with their hands. They move the leaves and the dirt. They do not find anything. + +"Maybe the treasure is deeper. Maybe we need a shovel," Max says. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She remembers that her dad has a shovel in the garage. She has an idea. + +"Let's go to my house. We can get the shovel and come back," she says. + +"OK, let's go," Max says. + +They run to Lily's house. They get the shovel and run back to the park. They dig under the tree with the shovel. They dig and dig. They still do not find anything. + +"Maybe there is no treasure. Maybe we are wasting our time," Max says. + +Lily does not give up. She thinks there must be something hidden under the tree. She digs harder and faster. She hits something hard. She hears a clink. + +"Max, I found something! I found something!" she shouts. + +She pulls out a shiny object. It is a silver necklace with a heart pendant. It sparkles in the sun. + +"Wow, it is beautiful. It is a treasure," Max says. + +Lily is very happy. She thinks it is the best thing she ever found. She puts the necklace around her neck. + +"Look, it fits me. It is mine," she says. + +Max is happy for Lily. He thinks she is lucky. He hugs her. + +"Congratulations, Lily. You are a great treasure hunter," he says. + +They smile and laugh.

One day, they see a bridge in the park. The bridge is over a stream. The bridge is different. It is not like the other bridges. It is made of wood and rope. It looks old and shaky. + +"Let's cross the bridge!" says Ben. He runs to the bridge. He wants to see what is on the other side. + +"No, Ben, wait!" says Anna. She is scared of the bridge. She thinks it is not safe. She does not want to cross it. She wants to stay on this side. + +"Come on, Anna, don't be a baby!" says Ben. He laughs at Anna. He thinks she is silly. He starts to walk on the bridge. He does not listen to Anna. + +Anna feels sad and angry. She does not like Ben's words. She does not like Ben's laugh. She wants Ben to be nice to her. She wants Ben to play with her. She does not want to lose Ben. + +She runs after Ben. She tries to catch him. She steps on the bridge. She hears a crack. She feels the bridge move. She screams. + +"Help, Ben, help!" she cries. She is afraid. She does not want to fall. + +Ben hears Anna's scream. He turns around. He sees Anna on the bridge. He sees the bridge break. He is scared too. He does not want Anna to fall. He does not want to lose Anna. + +He runs back to Anna. He grabs her hand. He pulls her to the other side. They fall on the grass. They are safe. + +They hug each other. They are happy. They are sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Anna, I was mean to you," says Ben. "I should have listened to you. You were right. The bridge was not safe. You are my friend. I don't want to hurt you." + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I was scared of the bridge," says Anna. "I should have trusted you. You were brave. You saved me. You are my friend. I don't want to lose you." + +They smile at each other. They learn a lesson. They learn to be kind and respectful. They learn to be careful and courageous. They learn to be friends. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. But they are restless. They do not like to help Mom and Dad. They do not like to share their toys. They do not like to say sorry. + +One day, Mom and Dad have to go to work. They ask Grandma to come and watch Anna and Ben. Grandma is kind and sweet. She brings cookies and books. She tells stories and sings songs. She serves Anna and Ben with love. + +But Anna and Ben are not nice to Grandma. They do not listen to her. They do not say thank you. They do not help her. They make a mess and fight. They make Grandma sad. + +Grandma does not get angry. She does not yell. She does not punish. She just says, "Anna and Ben, I love you. But you are not being good. You are not showing love. You are not making me happy. You are making me tired. Do you want me to be happy or tired?" + +Anna and Ben stop and think. They look at Grandma. They see her eyes are sad. They see her smile is gone. They feel sorry. They hug Grandma and say, "Grandma, we love you. We are sorry. We want you to be happy. We want to be good. We want to show love. We want to help you." + +Grandma smiles and hugs them back. She says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You make me happy. You are good. You show love. You help me.

I will provide some food for you. But first, you have to help me with something." + +"What do we have to do?" Ben and Mia ask. + +Mom says, "You have to find some fruits and vegetables in the garden. They are good for you. Can you do that?" + +Ben and Mia nod. They like to go to the garden. They run outside and look for fruits and vegetables. They see some apples, some carrots, some tomatoes, and some grapes. They pick them and put them in a basket. They are happy. They have found a lot of food. + +They bring the basket to mom. Mom smiles. She says, "Wow, you are very successful. You have found a lot of food. Thank you for helping me. Now, let's wash them and make a salad. Then, we can eat together." + +Ben and Mia wash the fruits and vegetables. They help mom cut them and mix them. They make a big salad. It looks yummy. They sit at the table and eat the salad. They also have some bread and cheese. They are full and satisfied. They say, "Thank you, mom, for providing us with food. It is delicious." + +Mom says, "You are welcome, my loves. I am glad you like it. And thank you for helping me in the garden. You are very good and helpful. I love you very much." + +Ben and Mia hug mom. They love her very much too. They are happy. They have had a good day. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found rocks, sometimes they found coins, and sometimes they found nothing. + +One day, they found something very special. It was a big, bright gem. It was red and sparkly and looked like a candy. Lily and Max were very happy. They wanted to show it to their mom. + +"Look, look, mom!" they shouted, running to the house. "We found a gem!" + +Mom was in the kitchen. She smiled and took the gem from their hands. She wiped it with a cloth and held it up to the light. + +"Wow, this is a beautiful gem," she said. "Where did you find it?" + +"In the garden, mom," Lily said. "We dug and dug and then we saw it." + +Mom looked at them with a surprised face. She wondered how a gem could be in the garden. She thought it might belong to someone else. + +"Maybe this gem is not ours, kids," she said. "Maybe someone lost it or dropped it. Maybe it is wild and wants to go back to the earth." + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They did not want to give up their gem. They liked it very much. They thought it was theirs. + +"But mom, we found it," Max said. "We want to keep it. It is not wild, it is nice." + +Mom shook her head. She wanted to teach them to be honest and kind. + +"Finding something does not mean owning it, kids," she said. "Maybe this gem has a story. Maybe it came from a faraway place or a long time ago. Maybe it has a family or a friend. Maybe it is lonely and sad. We should try to find out who it belongs to and return it." + +Lily and Max looked at the gem. They saw how it shone and sparkled. They felt how it was smooth and warm. They wondered how it felt and what it wanted. They thought mom was right. They decided to be good and share. + +"Okay, mom," they said. "We will try to find out who it belongs to and return it. But can we play with it a little bit more?" + +Mom nodded and hugged them. She was proud of them. She let them play with the gem for a while. Then they went to the library and looked for books about gems. They learned a lot of new things. They had fun and felt good. They hoped to find the gem's home soon. +Anna was very sad. She wanted to go to the park with her friends, but it was raining. She looked at the calendar on the wall. It had many pictures of animals and flowers. She saw that today was a frog day. She liked frogs, but she did not like rain. + +She wept on her bed. She did not want to play with her toys or read her books. She wanted to see the sun and the grass and the swings. + +Her mom came to her room. She saw Anna crying. She hugged her and said, "Why are you so sad, my dear?" + +"Mom, I want to go to the park, but it is raining. I don't like rain. It is wet and cold and gray," Anna said. + +"I know, sweetie, but rain is good for the plants and the animals. And sometimes, rain can bring something beautiful. Do you know what it is?" Mom asked. + +Anna shook her head. She did not know. + +Mom took her hand and led her to the window. She pointed to the sky. "Look, Anna, do you see that? It is a rainbow. It has many colors. It is like a bridge of light. It is a sign of hope and joy. It is a gift from the rain." + +Anna looked at the rainbow. She saw red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. She smiled. She thought it was very pretty. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. + +"Wow, Mom, it is so beautiful. I like rainbows. They make me happy. Thank you for showing me," Anna said. + +"You're welcome, my love. You are very lucky to see a rainbow today. It is not very common. Maybe it is a sign that something good will happen to you. Maybe you will make a new friend, or learn something new, or have a fun adventure. You never know," Mom said. + +Anna hugged her mom. She felt better. She was not sad anymore. She was curious and excited. She wondered what good thing would happen to her. She hoped it would be something with frogs. She still liked frogs, even if they liked rain. +Ben and Lily liked to jog with their dad every morning. They put on their shoes and hats and went outside. Their dad said, "Are you ready to jog, kids?" Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. + +They jogged along the street and saw many things. They saw a big dog, a red bike, a yellow flower and a blue van. The van had a picture of a jolly clown on it. The clown had a big nose, a funny hat and a balloon. Ben and Lily liked the clown. They waved at the van as it passed by. + +The van stopped at the park. The door opened and the jolly clown came out. He saw Ben and Lily and said, "Hello, little joggers! Do you want to see a magic trick?" Ben and Lily said, "Yes, please!" They ran to the clown and their dad followed them. + +The clown took out a big box and opened it. He said, "What do you think is inside?" Ben and Lily guessed, "A rabbit? A cake? A toy?" The clown said, "No, no, no. It's something much better. It's a surprise!" He reached inside the box and pulled out a big teddy bear. He gave it to Ben and Lily and said, "This is for you, because you are so good at jogging. You can share it and hug it and play with it." Ben and Lily thanked the clown and hugged the teddy bear. They were very happy. + +The clown said, "I have to go now, but I hope to see you again. Keep jogging and smiling, kids. Bye-bye!" He waved at them and got back in the van. The van drove away and honked its horn. Ben and Lily waved back and said, "Bye-bye, jolly clown!" They jogged back home with their dad and their new teddy bear. They had a fun morning. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw an enormous balloon in the sky.

Anna and Ben said. + +Mom took their hands and they walked to the balloon. It was tied to a big truck. A man was standing next to it. + +"Hello, I am Bob. This is my balloon. Do you want to ride in it?" he asked. + +"Can we, mom, can we?" Anna and Ben said. + +"Sure, why not. It looks fun. But we have to hurry. The balloon will fly soon," mom said. + +Bob helped them get into the basket. He gave them helmets and belts. He showed them the button. + +"This is the button that makes the balloon go up and down. Do you want to press it?" he asked. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They took turns to press the button. The balloon went up and down. They felt happy and excited. + +They saw the park, the trees, the cars and the people from the sky. They waved to them. They saw birds and clouds. They felt the wind and the sun. + +They had a wonderful time in the enormous balloon. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. They have a big plastic ball. The ball is easy to roll and bounce. + +One day, they walk to the park with the ball. They see a hill. They want to roll the ball down the hill. They think it will be fun. + +"Let's go up the hill!" Sara says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They walk up the hill with the ball. They are happy. They see the grass and the trees and the sky. + +They get to the top of the hill. They look down. They see a pond. The pond has water and ducks and fish. + +"Look, Ben! A pond!" Sara says. + +"Wow! A pond!" Ben says. + +They want to see the pond. They forget about the ball. They let go of the ball. + +The ball starts to roll down the hill. It goes fast. It goes faster and faster. + +"Oh no! The ball!" Sara says. + +"Stop, ball! Stop!" Ben says. + +But the ball does not stop. It rolls down the hill. It rolls into the pond. It makes a big splash. + +The ducks and the fish are scared. They swim away. The ball floats on the water. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They want their ball back. They do not know how to get it. + +They walk down the hill. They look at the pond. They look at the ball. + +"Can we get the ball?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. + +They see a man. The man has a stick. The stick has a hook. The man is fishing. + +"Excuse me, sir," Sara says. "Can you help us?" + +The man looks at them. He sees the ball. He smiles. + +"Sure, I can help you," he says. "What happened?" + +"We lost our ball," Ben says. "It rolled into the pond." + +"I see," the man says. "That's too bad. But don't worry. I have an idea." + +He uses his stick and his hook. He reaches for the ball. He catches the ball. He pulls the ball out of the water. + +"Here you go," he says. "Your ball is back." + +He gives the ball to Sara and Ben. They are happy. They thank the man. + +"Thank you, sir!" Sara says. + +"Thank you, sir!" Ben says. + +They hug the ball. They are careful. They do not let go of the ball. + +They walk back to the park.

He wants to play with the doll. He asks Anna, "Can I play with Lily? Can I try her clothes and shoes?" + +Anna shakes her head. She says, "No, Ben, you can't. Lily is my doll. She is not available for you. You can play with your cars." + +Ben feels sad and angry. He says, "That is not fair, Anna. You are not a good friend. You are selfish. You don't share. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +He grabs the doll from Anna. He runs away with the doll. Anna cries and shouts, "Ben, give me back my doll! Ben, stop!" + +But Ben does not stop.

It is time for dinner. Look at this mess. You cannot leave your toys everywhere." + +Lily and Ben did not want to clean up. They said, "But Mom, we are having fun. We are not done playing. We like our toys. We do not like to clean up." + +Mom said, "I understand you like your toys, but you also need to be responsible. Cleaning up is part of playing. If you do not clean up, you will lose your toys. And you will not have dinner. That is my opinion. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben did not like Mom's opinion. They thought it was unfair. They wanted to keep playing and have dinner. They looked at each other and made a plan. They said, "OK, Mom, we will clean up. But can we have a surprise for you?" + +Mom was curious. She said, "What kind of surprise?" + +Lily and Ben said, "You will see. But you have to close your eyes and wait in the kitchen." + +Mom agreed. She closed her eyes and went to the kitchen. Lily and Ben quickly gathered their toys and put them in a big box. They dragged the box to the kitchen and said, "Mom, we are done. You can open your eyes now." + +Mom opened her eyes and saw the box. She said, "Wow, you cleaned up so fast. What is in the box?" + +Lily and Ben said, "It is a surprise. Open it, Mom." + +Mom opened the box and saw all the toys inside. She was not surprised. She was angry. She said, "This is not a surprise. This is a trick. You did not clean up. You just hid your toys. This is not how you play. This is not how you respect me. You are very naughty. You have no dinner. Go to your room now." + +Lily and Ben were sad. They realized they made a mistake. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to trick you. We just wanted to play more. We will clean up for real next time. Please forgive us. Please give us dinner. We are hungry." + +Mom was still angry, but she also loved them. She said, "I forgive you, but you have to learn your lesson. You have to clean up your toys every time you play. And you have to respect my opinion. It is for your own good. Now go to your room and think about what you did. You can have dinner later, but only if you promise to behave better." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "We promise, Mom. We love you. We are sorry." + +They went to their room and thought about what they did. They felt sorry and hungry. They decided to clean up their toys and respect Mom's opinion next time. They hoped Mom would be happy with them again. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the woods behind their house. One day, they find a big pine tree. It has many green needles and brown cones. + +"Look, Ben, a pine tree!" Sara says. "Can we climb it?" + +Ben nods. He likes to climb trees. He goes first. He grabs a branch and pulls himself up. Sara follows him. They climb higher and higher. + +"Be careful, Sara," Ben says. "The needles are sharp. They can hurt you." + +Sara nods. She tries to avoid the sharp needles. She sees a cone on a branch. She reaches for it. She wants to touch it. + +"Ouch!" Sara cries. She drops the cone. It falls to the ground. "The cone is sharp too!" + +Ben hears Sara. He looks down. He sees Sara holding her hand. He sees blood on her finger. He feels scared. + +"Sara, are you okay?" Ben asks. He climbs down to help her. + +Sara nods. She is brave. She does not cry. But she feels pain. + +"I'm okay, Ben," Sara says. "But the cone was sharp. It cut me." + +Ben hugs Sara. He loves his sister. He wants to make her feel better. + +"Let's go home, Sara," Ben says. "Mom can put a band-aid on your finger. She can make it better." + +Sara nods. She agrees. She wants to go home. She holds Ben's hand. They climb down the pine tree. They are alert. They watch out for sharp things. They walk back to their house. They are happy to see Mom. Mom is happy to see them. She puts a band-aid on Sara's finger. She kisses them both. She tells them a story. They listen. They smile. They love Mom. They love each other. They love the woods. But they do not love the sharp pine cone. +Lily likes to match her clothes. She has a pink dress and a pink hat. She has a blue shirt and a blue skirt. She has a yellow coat and a yellow scarf. Every day, she picks a color and wears it. + +One day, she goes to play with her friend Ben. Ben has a lot of toys. He has cars and trains and blocks and books. Lily likes to play with him.

He has a brown hat and a black shoe. + +Lily says to Ben, "Your clothes do not match. You look funny. Why do you wear them?" + +Ben says to Lily, "I do not care if they match. I wear what I like. I like all the colors. They make me happy. Why do you match them?" + +Lily says to Ben, "I match them because they look nice. They make me clean. My mom says I have to be clean. She washes my clothes every week. Do you not wash your clothes?" + +Ben says to Lily, "I wash my clothes too. But not every week. Only when they are dirty. Sometimes I spill juice or mud on them. Then I wash them. But I do not care if they are clean or not. I care if they are fun or not." + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They do not understand why they are different. But they do not get mad. They are still friends. They decide to play with the toys. They have fun with all the colors. They learn that they can like different things and still get along. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the toy store with their moms. Lily sees a big doll that she wants. But her mom says no. She says they have to go home soon. + +Lily is sad and angry. She thinks of a bad idea. She waits until her mom is not looking. Then she takes the big doll and hides it in her bag. She steals the big doll. + +Ben sees what Lily does. He is shocked. He knows stealing is wrong. He wants to tell Lily to put the doll back. But he is afraid to make her mad. He says nothing. + +They leave the toy store. Lily is happy. She thinks she has a new toy. But Ben is unhappy. He feels guilty. He wishes he had told Lily the truth. + +On the way home, they see a police car. The police car stops near them. A police officer gets out. He has a paper in his hand. He says he is looking for someone who stole a big doll from the toy store. He says he has an order to find the thief. + +Lily is scared. She knows she is the thief. She feels sorry. She wishes she had listened to her mom. She takes the big doll out of her bag. She gives it to the police officer. She says she is sorry. She says she will never steal again. + +The police officer is stern. He says stealing is bad. He says Lily has to go back to the toy store and say sorry to the owner. He says Lily has to pay for the big doll with her own money. He says Lily has to learn her lesson. + +Lily nods. She is ashamed. She looks at Ben. She says sorry to him too. She says she was a bad friend. She says she hopes he will forgive her. + +Ben smiles. He says he is glad Lily told the truth. He says he is sorry he did not help her. He says he will be a better friend. He says he still likes her. + +They hug. They go back to the toy store with the police officer and their moms. They say sorry to the owner. They pay for the big doll. They promise to be good. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to chase it. + +One time, the ball rolled to the street where the cars were. Tom ran after the ball without looking. Lily saw a big car coming fast. She was scared and shouted, "Tom, stop! Car!" + +Tom heard Lily and stopped. He saw the car too. He was very close to the car. He felt a shock in his chest. He was afraid and helpless. He did not know what to do. + +The car saw Tom and braked hard. The car made a loud noise and smoke. The car stopped just before Tom. Tom was safe. He was lucky. + +Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She was crying and happy. She said, "Tom, you are silly. You have to look before you run. The car could have hit you. I was trying to prevent that. I love you, Tom." + +Tom hugged Lily back. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was not thinking. You are smart and brave. You saved me, Lily. I love you too, Lily." +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna, who had long hair and a blue dress. Lily always took Anna with her when she went to the park, the store, or the school. + +One day, Lily saw a new girl in her class. Her name was Mia, and she had short hair and a red dress. Mia looked sad and lonely, and she did not talk to anyone. Lily wanted to be her friend, but she was fearful. She thought Mia might not like her or her dolls. + +At recess, Lily saw Mia sitting on a bench by herself. Lily felt sorry for her, and she decided to be brave. She took Anna and walked to Mia. She smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. This is Anna. Do you want to play with us?" + +Mia looked up and saw Lily and Anna. She felt happy and surprised. She said, "Hi, I'm Mia. Thank you for coming to me. I'm new here, and I don't have any friends. Can I hold Anna?" + +Lily nodded and handed Anna to Mia. She said, "Of course you can. Anna is very nice. She likes to share and have fun. You can be my friend, too. I welcome you to our class." + +Mia hugged Anna and smiled at Lily. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You make me feel less fearful. I'm glad to have a friend like you." + +Lily and Mia played together for the rest of the recess. They talked, laughed, and pretended with their dolls. They became good friends, and they learned to trust each other. They also made friends with other children in their class, who liked them and their dolls. Lily and Mia were happy, and they never felt lonely again. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be afraid to reach out to someone who is new or different. You might find a wonderful friend who needs your help and friendship. Sharing and welcoming are good ways to show kindness and make others happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. Lily had a modern doll that could talk and sing. Ben had a big truck that could make loud noises and move fast. They both loved their toys very much. + +One day, Lily and Ben decided to swap their toys for a while. Lily wanted to try the truck and Ben wanted to try the doll. They agreed to share and be nice to each other. They had fun playing with their new toys. + +But after a while, Lily got bored of the truck. She missed her doll and wanted it back. She went to Ben and said, "Give me my doll now. I don't want the truck anymore." + +Ben was having fun with the doll. He liked to hear it talk and sing. He did not want to give it back. He said, "No, I want to play with the doll more. You can have the truck." + +Lily was angry. She did not like Ben's answer. She said, "No, it's my doll. You have to give it back. It's not fair." + +Ben was angry too. He did not like Lily's demand. He said, "No, it's my turn. You have to wait. It's not fair." + +They started to fight over the doll. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not listen to each other. They did not care about the toys. They only cared about their way. + +The doll and the truck did not like the fight. They felt sad and scared. They wished Lily and Ben would stop and be friends again. They wished they could go back to their own toys. + +Then, something happened. The doll and the truck had a secret. They could talk to each other. They had a plan. They decided to teach Lily and Ben a lesson. + +The doll and the truck said, "Stop, stop, stop. We don't like this. We don't like you.

They ran after the doll and the truck. They said, "Wait, wait, wait. We're sorry. We're sorry. We want to be nice. We want to be friends." + +But the doll and the truck did not stop. They did not listen. They kept running. They wanted to make Lily and Ben learn their lesson. + +They ran until they found a modern house. They saw a nice girl and a nice boy playing with their toys. They saw them share and laugh and hug. They liked them. They wanted to be with them. + +They knocked on the door. The nice girl and the nice boy opened it. They saw the doll and the truck.

They saw Lily and Ben. They said, "Why, why, why? Why do you want your toys back? You were not nice. You were not friends. You made them sad and scared. You don't deserve them." + +Lily and Ben said, "We know, we know, we know. We were bad. We were wrong. We learned our lesson. We promise to be good. We promise to be friends. We love them. We miss them." + +The doll and the truck heard Lily and Ben. They looked at them. They looked at the nice girl and the nice boy. They had a choice. They had to decide. + +What do you think they decided? The end. +Tom and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their dad's tools. They find a big hammer, a saw, a drill and some nails. They want to make a house for their toys. + +They go to the backyard and look for some wood. They see a big pile of wood near the fence. They think it is perfect for their house. They do not know that the wood is for dad's new shed. + +They start to use the tools on the wood. They make a lot of noise and mess. They cut, hammer, drill and nail the wood. They are having fun. + +But dad hears the noise and comes to the backyard. He sees what Tom and Ben are doing. He is very angry. He shouts at them. + +"Dad, look! We made a house for our toys!" Tom says. + +"What have you done? You spoiled my wood! You ruined my tools! You are very naughty!" dad says. + +He takes the tools away from them. He makes them go inside.

They cry. They say they are sorry. But dad does not listen. He is still angry. + +It is dark outside. Tom and Ben are in their room. They have no toys. They have no tools. They have no fun. They have a bad ending. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play together in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big cake in the window of a shop. It had white cream and red berries on top. It looked yummy. + +"Let's buy the cake," Anna said. + +"But we have no money," Ben said. + +"Maybe we can marry and get money," Anna said. + +"Marry? What is that?" Ben asked. + +Anna shrugged. "I don't know. But I heard Mommy say that people who marry get money and gifts and a big party." + +"OK, let's marry then," Ben said. + +They walked into the shop and asked the lady for the cake. + +"Who are you?" the lady asked. + +"We are Anna and Ben. We want to marry and have the cake," Anna said. + +The lady laughed. "You are too young to marry. And you have no money. The cake is very expensive. You can't have it." + +Anna and Ben felt sad. They wanted the cake so much. They looked at each other and held hands. + +"Can we have a little piece?" Ben asked. + +The lady shook her head. "No, you can't. The cake is for someone else. Someone who paid a lot of money for it. Now go away." + +Anna and Ben left the shop. They felt poor and hungry. They walked back to the park. They saw a big tree with apples on it. They picked some apples and ate them. They were sweet and juicy. + +"Apples are better than cake," Anna said. + +"Yes, they are. And we don't need money or gifts or a party to be happy. We have each other," Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged. They decided they didn't want to marry. They just wanted to be friends. They played in the park until it was dark. Then they went home. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to make a snack. They saw a jar of butter in the kitchen. They liked butter. They wanted to put butter on bread. + +They took the jar of butter and a knife. They tried to open the jar. It was hard. They pushed and pulled. The jar did not open. They got angry. They threw the jar on the floor. The jar broke. Butter spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Ben said. "Look at the mess!" + +Lily started to cry. "Mommy will be mad!" + +They heard footsteps.

She saw the broken jar and the butter. She was very mad. She saw Ben and Lily in the living room. They were messy and scared. + +"What did you do?" Mommy asked. "Why did you make such a mess?" + +Ben and Lily did not answer. They knew they were in trouble. They wished they did not discover the jar of butter. They wished they asked Mommy for a snack. They were sorry. But it was too late. +Tom and Lily were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They were going to a new island for a holiday. Tom and Lily liked to look at the water and the fish and the birds. They were very happy. + +"Look, there is the island!" Mom said, pointing to a green and brown spot in the water. "It is very pretty and has many trees and flowers. We will have fun there." + +"Can we swim and play in the sand?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, you can, but you have to be careful and listen to us. The island is new to us, so we don't know everything about it. There might be some things that are not safe or nice." Dad said. + +"Okay, we will listen to you." Tom said. + +The boat stopped near the island and they got off. They carried their bags and followed a path to a small house. It was their home for the holiday. It had a door, a window, a bed, a table and some chairs. It was cozy and cute. + +"Wow, this is a nice house!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is. But you know what? It reminds me of something." Mom said. + +"What does it remind you of?" Tom asked. + +"It reminds me of the house where I grew up. It was also small and cozy and cute. And it was also on an island, just like this one." Mom said. + +"Really? You grew up on an island?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I did. It was a different island, but it was also very pretty and had many trees and flowers. I loved it there. I have many good memories of it." Mom said. + +"Can you tell us some stories about it?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, I can. But first, let's unpack our bags and have some lunch. Then we can sit outside and I can tell you some stories." Mom said. + +"Okay, that sounds good." Tom and Lily said. + +They unpacked their bags and had some lunch. Then they sat outside and Mom told them some stories about her island. They listened and asked questions and laughed and smiled. They felt happy and curious and loved. They liked the new island, but they also liked the old island that Mom reminded them of. They had a lot to learn and explore and enjoy. They had a wonderful holiday. +Ben and Mia liked to look at the tree in their living room. It had many lights and shiny things on it. They called them ornaments. Some ornaments were round, some were stars, some were animals. Ben and Mia wanted to touch them, but Mom said no. + +One day, Mom was busy in the kitchen. Ben and Mia saw a chance to play with the ornaments. They climbed on the couch and reached for the tree. Ben grabbed a red ball. Mia grabbed a bird. The bird was interesting. It had feathers and a beak and a clip. + +"Look, Ben, I have a bird!" Mia said. + +"Let me see!" Ben said. + +He let go of the red ball and tried to take the bird from Mia. Mia did not want to share.

Ben and Mia said. + +They heard Mom coming. They were scared. They hid behind the couch. Mom saw the broken bird and the red ball. She was not happy. + +"Who did this?"

But the thief didn't listen and ran away again. + +Lily's mom said, "I guess we won't be getting our bag back. It's not fair, but at least we still have each other." +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. Lily had a cozy blanket that she loved to snuggle with. One day, Lily's blanket got a little crazy and started to shake all by itself. Lily was scared, but she held onto her blanket tight. + +Suddenly, the shaking got stronger and stronger until Lily's blanket flew right out of her hands and into the sky. Lily was sad and cried for her lost blanket. She searched and searched, but couldn't find it anywhere. + +Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, but Lily's blanket was never found. Lily learned that sometimes things can be crazy and scary, but she still missed her blanket very much. +One day, a little boy named Sam went to the zoo with his mom and dad. He was very happy to see all the animals, but his favorite was the seal. The seal was big and gray and had a funny nose. It could clap its flippers and make loud noises. + +Sam wanted to see the seal do more tricks, so he asked his mom and dad if they could stay longer. They said yes, and they found a good spot to watch the seal show. The seal was very smart and did many things. It jumped through a hoop, balanced a ball on its nose, and kissed its trainer. + +Sam clapped and laughed and had a lot of fun. He wished he could play with the seal, but he knew it was not a pet. He waved goodbye to the seal and said thank you for the show. Then he went to see the other animals with his mom and dad. + +That night, Sam had a dream about the seal. He dreamed that he was in the water with the seal, and they were swimming and splashing together. The seal was very friendly and taught Sam how to do tricks. Sam felt like he was flying in the water. + +Sam was having so much fun that he did not want to wake up. But then he heard his mom calling his name. She said it was time to get up and have breakfast. Sam opened his eyes and smiled. He remembered his dream and the seal. He told his mom and dad about it, and they said it sounded like a wonderful dream. Sam agreed, and he hoped he would see the seal again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. But they do not like to clean up. Their room is very messy. There are toys, books, clothes and crayons everywhere. + +One day, Mom says, "Lily and Ben, it is time for your nap. Go to your room and sleep. I will come and check on you later." + +Lily and Ben do not want to nap. They want to play more. They go to their room and pretend to sleep. But when Mom leaves, they get up and play again. They make more mess. + +They find a big blanket. They cover themselves with the blanket. They pretend they are in a cave. They have fun. They do not hear Mom coming back. + +Mom opens the door. She sees the messy room. She sees the blanket moving. She is angry. She pulls the blanket off. She sees Lily and Ben. They are scared. + +Mom says, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? You are not sleeping. You are making more mess. This is not good. You have to clean up your room. And you have to nap. No more playing." + +Lily and Ben are sad. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were having a dream. We were in a cave. We did not mean to make more mess." + +Mom says, "I understand. But you have to follow the rules. You have to nap and clean up. Then you can play again. And you can tell me your dream later. OK?" + +Lily and Ben say, "OK, Mom. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too. Now, nap and clean up." + +Lily and Ben nap and clean up. They have a good sleep. They have a good dream. They tell Mom their dream. Mom smiles. She hugs them. She is happy. They are happy. The end. +Ben and Lily were playing with blocks in the playroom. They wanted to build a big tower, but the blocks kept falling down. Ben had an idea. He saw a bottle of glue on the shelf. He said to Lily, "Let's use glue to make the blocks stick together. Then our tower will be strong and tall." + +Lily nodded. She liked Ben's idea. They took the glue and put some on each block. They stacked the blocks one by one, making the tower increase. They were happy and proud of their work. + +But then, Mom came in. She saw the glue and the blocks and the mess. She was angry and shocked. She said to Ben and Lily, "What have you done? You are not supposed to use glue on the blocks. You have ruined them. And you have made a big mess. You should be ashamed of yourselves." + +Ben and Lily felt bad. They did not mean to ruin the blocks or make Mom angry. They said to Mom, "We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to build a big tower. We did not know glue was bad for the blocks. Please don't be mad at us." + +Mom sighed. She was still angry, but she also loved Ben and Lily. She said to them, "I know you were trying to have fun, but you have to be careful with glue. It can damage things and be hard to clean. Next time, ask me before you use something you are not sure about. And now, you have to help me clean up this mess." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said to Mom, "Okay, Mom. We will help you. And we will not use glue on the blocks again. We are sorry." + +Mom hugged them. She said to them, "I forgive you. I love you. But please, be more careful next time." +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun, but they wanted to try something new. They saw a pair of scissors on the table. They knew they were not supposed to touch them, but they were curious. + +Lily picked up the scissors and said, "Look, Tom, I have scissors. I can cut things with them." Tom said, "Let me see, Lily. I want to cut things too." Lily said, "No, they are mine. You have your car." Tom said, "That's not fair. Give me the scissors, Lily." They started to pull the scissors from each other. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their dad. He had come home from work. He saw them with the scissors and shouted, "Lily! Tom! What are you doing? Drop the scissors right now! You could hurt yourselves or each other!" Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the scissors and ran to their dad. He hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are okay. But you should never play with scissors. They are sharp and dangerous. They are not toys. Do you understand?" Lily and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, dad. We are sorry. We won't do it again." + +Dad said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to be careful and listen to me. I love you and I want you to be safe. Now, why don't you play with something else? How about this?" He took out a toy gun from his bag and said, "This is a gift for you. It can shoot water. You can have fun with it, but only outside. And don't shoot at people or animals. Only at plants or rocks. Do you want to try it?" Lily and Tom smiled and said, "Yes, dad. Thank you. We love you too." They took the toy gun and went outside to play. They forgot about the scissors and had a good time. +Sara and Tom liked to play on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. One day, they found a big shell that was closed. Tom said, "Maybe there is an oyster inside. Oysters have pearls. Pearls are shiny and pretty. People who have pearls are wealthy." + +Sara said, "How do we open the shell? It is hard and tight." Tom said, "Maybe we can use a rock. Rocks are strong and sharp. They can break things." He looked around and found a big rock. He said, "Sara, you hold the shell. I will hit it with the rock." + +Sara held the shell in her hands. Tom lifted the rock and swung it down. But he missed the shell and hit Sara's fingers. Sara cried out, "Ow! Ow! Ow! Tom, you hurt me!" She dropped the shell and held her fingers. Tom said, "Oh, no! Sara, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you! Are you okay?" + +Sara said, "No, I'm not okay! My fingers are red and sore! You are a bad brother!" She ran away from Tom and towards their mom. Tom felt sad and sorry. He picked up the shell and followed Sara. He said, "Sara, wait! Please don't be mad at me! I wanted to share the oyster with you! Maybe it has a pearl for you!" + +But Sara didn't listen. She reached their mom and showed her her fingers. Their mom said, "Oh, Sara, what happened? Did you cut yourself?" Sara said, "No, mom, Tom hit me with a rock! He was trying to open a shell. He said there was an oyster inside. But I don't care about oysters or pearls. I care about my fingers!" + +Their mom said, "Oh, Tom, that was not nice. You should be careful with rocks. They can hurt people. You should say sorry to Sara and give her a hug. And you should also be careful with shells. They can have animals inside. Some animals can bite or sting. You should not bother them." + +Tom said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Sara. I was curious about the oyster. I wanted to see if it had a pearl. I thought pearls were special. But I know now that they are not as special as you. You are my sister and I love you. Can I give you a hug?" + +Sara looked at Tom. She saw that he was sad and sorry. She felt a little better. She said, "Okay, Tom. I forgive you. You can give me a hug. But next time, don't hit me with a rock. And don't open shells. Let the oysters be. They are happy in their shells. They don't need us to make them wealthy." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box under a tree. The box has a bow on it. Lily and Tom are curious. + +"Maybe it is a gift for us," Lily says. + +"Let's open it and see," Tom says. + +They pull the bow and open the box. Inside, they find a letter and a toy car. The letter has their names on it. The toy car is broken. It has a crack in the window and a wheel is missing. + +"Who gave us this?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Tom says. + +They read the letter. It says: + +Dear Lily and Tom, + +I am sorry for the broken toy car. I wanted to give it to you, but I dropped it and it broke. I hope you are not mad at me. I am your friend, Ben. + +Lily and Tom look at each other. They remember Ben. He is a boy who lives in their street. He is shy and does not talk much. He sometimes watches them play in the park. + +"Ben is nice," Lily says. + +"Yes, he is," Tom says. + +They decide to write a letter back to Ben. They say: + +Dear Ben, + +Thank you for the letter and the toy car. We are not mad at you. We like the toy car, even if it is broken. We can fix it together. We are your friends, too. Do you want to play with us in the park? We have a ball and a kite. We can have fun. + +Lily and Tom. + +They put the letter in the box and tie the bow. They leave the box under the tree. They hope Ben will find it and join them. They run to the swings and wait for him. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they draw a big shark with sharp teeth and a scary face. They want to mail the picture to their grandma, who lives far away. + +They ask their mom to help them. Mom says, "Okay, but first you have to write your names and a nice message on the back. Grandma will be happy to see your picture and hear from you." Tim and Sam write their names and "We love you, Grandma" on the back of the picture. + +Mom puts the picture in an envelope and gives it to Tim and Sam. She says, "Let's go to the mailbox and mail your picture. But be careful, the mailbox is serious. It has a big mouth that can bite your fingers if you are not careful." Tim and Sam are curious. They want to see the mailbox. + +They follow Mom to the mailbox. It is a big, blue box with a red flag. Mom says, "Look, this is the mailbox. It is like a shark. It has a big mouth that opens and closes. You have to put your picture inside the mouth and then close it. Then you have to raise the flag to tell the mailman that there is something inside. The mailman will come and take your picture and deliver it to Grandma. But you have to be quick and careful, or the mailbox will bite you." + +Tim and Sam are a little scared, but also excited. They want to mail their picture. Tim says, "I will go first. I am brave." He takes the envelope and runs to the mailbox. He opens the mouth and puts the picture inside. But he is not quick enough. The mouth closes on his fingers. Tim screams, "Ow, ow, ow! The mailbox bit me! The mailbox is a shark!" + +Mom runs to Tim and helps him. She says, "Oh, Tim, I'm sorry. The mailbox is not a shark. It is just a box. It did not mean to hurt you. It was just a joke. Let me see your fingers. They are not bleeding. They are just a little red. You will be okay." She hugs Tim and kisses his fingers. + +Sam watches from a distance. He is afraid of the mailbox. He does not want to mail his picture. He says, "Mom, I don't want to mail my picture. I don't like the mailbox. It is serious and mean. Can we mail it another way?" + +Mom says, "Sure, Sam. We can mail it another way. We can go to the post office and mail it there. The post office is not serious. It is friendly and nice. It has people who will help us mail your picture. They will not bite you. They will smile at you. Do you want to go to the post office?" + +Sam says, "Yes, Mom. I want to go to the post office. I want to mail my picture to Grandma. I want her to see my shark and know that I love her. But I don't want to mail it with the mailbox. The mailbox is a shark. And I don't like sharks." +Ben is a boy who likes to play with magnets. He has many magnets of different shapes and colors. He knows that magnets can stick to some things and not to others. He knows that magnets can make other magnets move. He thinks magnets are fun and intelligent. + +One day, Ben finds a big magnet in his dad's garage. It is silver and round and very strong. Ben wants to see what it can do. He takes it to his room and tries to stick it to his toys. He sticks it to his cars, his trains, his blocks, and his books. He is happy and amazed. + +But then, he tries to stick it to his teddy bear. He loves his teddy bear very much. He hugs it every night. He thinks his teddy bear is soft and warm and friendly. He tries to stick the magnet to his teddy bear's nose. But nothing happens. The magnet does not stick. Ben is confused and sad. + +He asks his mom why the magnet does not stick to his teddy bear. His mom smiles and explains that magnets only stick to things that have metal inside. She says that his teddy bear does not have metal inside. It has cotton and fur and love. She says that his teddy bear is not intelligent like a magnet, but it is loyal and cuddly and sweet. She says that Ben can love both his magnet and his teddy bear, because they are different and special. + +Ben understands and feels better. He thanks his mom and gives her a hug. He puts his magnet on his shelf and his teddy bear on his bed. He knows that he has two wonderful friends. He knows that he is a lucky boy. He knows that he is smart and curious and happy. +Sara liked to organize her toys. She had a big box with many different toys. She had dolls, cars, blocks, books and more. She liked to put each toy in its own place. She had a hook on the wall where she hung her bags and hats. + +One day, Sara's friend Ben came to play. Ben saw Sara's box and wanted to see her toys. He opened the box and took out many toys. He threw them on the floor and made a big mess. Sara was not happy. She said to Ben, "Stop! You are making a mess. I like to organize my toys. Please put them back in the box." + +Ben did not listen. He said, "I don't like to organize. I like to play. Your toys are boring. They are all different. I want to play with the same toys. Let's go to my house. I have many cars. They are all red and fast. Come on, let's go." + +Sara did not want to go. She said, "No, thank you. I like my toys. They are not boring. They are different and fun. I can play many games with them. I can make stories and pretend. I don't want to play with only cars. I want to play with my toys. You can stay and play with me, or you can go home." + +Ben did not want to stay. He said, "Fine. I will go home. You are no fun. You only like to organize. Bye." He left Sara's house and slammed the door. + +Sara was sad. She did not have a friend to play with. She looked at the mess on the floor. She sighed and started to organize her toys. She put each toy in its own place. She hung her bags and hats on the hook. She felt better. She smiled and said, "I like to organize. It makes me happy. Maybe I will find a friend who likes to organize too." +Sara and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and games. But sometimes they get bored of their room. They want to find a new place to play. + +One day, they have an idea. They look at the closet in their room. It is big and dark and has many clothes and shoes inside. They think it can be a fun place to play. They open the closet and go inside. They close the door behind them. + +"Wow, it is so dark in here!" Sara says. "I can't see anything." + +"Don't be scared, Sara. I have a flashlight," Ben says. He turns on the flashlight and shines it around the closet. He sees some coats and hats and scarves. He sees some boxes and bags and suitcases. He sees some blankets and pillows and stuffed animals. + +"Look, Sara. We can make a cozy fort in here," Ben says. He takes some blankets and pillows and makes a soft bed on the floor. He takes some stuffed animals and puts them on the bed. He takes some scarves and hats and puts them on himself and Sara. He turns off the flashlight and makes the closet dark again. + +"Now we are comfortable and warm," Ben says. "We can pretend we are camping in the woods. Do you hear the birds and the wind?" + +"Yes, I do," Sara says. She snuggles with Ben and the stuffed animals. She feels happy and safe. "This is a fun place to play. I like the closet." + +They play in the closet for a long time. They tell stories and jokes and sing songs. They have a lot of fun. They forget about their room and their toys and their books and their games. They only think about the closet and each other. They are the best brother and sister in the world. +Tom likes to play with his toys. He has many toys, but his favorite is his orange car. He likes to zoom it around the floor and make loud noises. He pretends he is a driver and goes to many places. + +One day, Tom sees a new toy in the shop. It is a big truck with a bin on the back. It can pick up things and dump them in the bin. Tom thinks it looks fun and wants to buy it. He asks his mom if he can have it. + +Mom says no. She says Tom has too many toys and he does not play with them all. She says he should give some of his toys to other kids who do not have any. She says it is good to share and be kind. + +Tom does not like this idea. He does not want to give away his toys, especially his orange car. He says his orange car is his best toy and he loves it. He says he will not share it with anyone. + +Mom says she understands, but she recommends that Tom tries to be more generous. She says he can keep his orange car, but he should choose some other toys to give away. She says he will feel happy if he makes other kids happy. + +Tom thinks about it. He does not want to make mom sad, but he also does not want to lose his toys. He looks at his toys and tries to decide which ones he can give away. He sees some toys that he does not play with much, like his blocks, his ball, and his teddy. He puts them in a bag and gives them to mom. He says he is ready to go to the shop. + +Mom smiles and hugs him. She says she is proud of him and he is a good boy. She says he can buy the truck with the bin if he wants. Tom feels happy. He says thank you and runs to the shop. He buys the truck and plays with it and his orange car. He thinks he has the best toys in the world. +Lily and Ben were adventurous kids. They liked to explore the woods behind their house. They always brought a supply of snacks, water and toys in their backpacks. + +One day, they found a new path in the woods. It was narrow and twisty, and it had many rocks and roots. They decided to follow it and see where it led. + +"Maybe we'll find a secret cave or a waterfall," Lily said. + +"Or maybe we'll meet a friendly animal or a fairy," Ben said. + +They walked and walked, and the path got steeper and darker. They heard strange noises and saw shadows. They started to feel scared. + +"Maybe we should go back," Lily said. + +"But we haven't seen anything yet," Ben said. + +Just then, they saw a bright light at the end of the path. They ran towards it, hoping it was a way out. But when they got there, they saw something amazing. + +It was a big tree house, with a slide, a swing, a ladder and a rope bridge. It had windows and doors and flags and flowers. It looked like a fun and cozy place. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. + +"Who lives here?" Ben said. + +They heard a voice from inside the tree house. + +"Hello, who are you?" the voice said. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were curious and excited. They climbed up the ladder and said hello. They met a friendly girl who lived in the tree house. She invited them to play and share her supply of cookies and juice. She said her name was Mia, and she was also adventurous. She had built the tree house with her dad, and she knew all the secrets of the woods. + +Lily and Ben had a great time with Mia. They played games, told stories, and made friends. They forgot about their fear and had fun. They decided to come back and visit Mia again. They had found a new path and a new adventure. +Mia and Leo are twins. They share a bedroom. Their bedroom is modern. It has a big window, a blue rug, and two beds. Mia likes her bed. It is pink and soft. Leo likes his bed. It is green and cozy. + +One night, Mia and Leo are getting ready for sleep. They brush their teeth, put on their pajamas, and hug their teddies. Then they go to their bedroom. But they disagree about something. + +"I want to sleep by the window," Mia says. "I like to see the stars." + +"No, I want to sleep by the window," Leo says. "I like to feel the breeze." + +They both want the same bed. They start to argue. They raise their voices. They pull the blanket. + +"Stop it!" their mom says. She comes to their bedroom. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. + +"Mia and Leo, you need to share," she says. "You have a nice bedroom. You have two beds. You can take turns sleeping by the window. Tonight, Mia can sleep by the window. Tomorrow, Leo can sleep by the window. OK?" + +Mia and Leo look at each other. They think for a moment. They nod their heads. They say sorry. They hug each other. They hug their mom. They go to their own beds. They say good night. They close their eyes. They fall asleep. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had a big box of clothes and shoes for them. She liked to dress them up and make them talk. She had a doll named Lily who was her favorite. Lily had long yellow hair and a pink dress. + +One day, Sara found a shiny green candy in her mom's purse. She thought it looked pretty and yummy. She wanted to share it with Lily. She took the candy and ran to her room. She opened the candy and broke it in half. She gave one half to Lily and put the other half in her mouth. + +The candy was very strong and spicy. Sara did not like it. It made her tongue feel hot and her eyes water. She spit it out and said, "Yuck! This is not a good candy. This is a mint. Mints are for grown-ups, not for kids." + +She looked at Lily and saw that she had the mint in her mouth too. She was worried that Lily did not like it either. She tried to take the mint out of Lily's mouth, but it was stuck. Lily did not open her mouth or say anything. She just stared at Sara with a confused look on her face. + +Sara did not know what to do. She felt bad for giving Lily a bad candy. She wondered why Lily did not talk or move. She thought maybe Lily was mad at her or sick. She started to cry and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to hurt you. Please talk to me. Please be my friend." + +She hugged Lily and hoped she would be okay. She did not notice that Lily was not a real doll, but a toy that needed batteries to talk and move. She did not know that the mint had made the batteries stop working. She did not know that her mom had bought Lily as a surprise for her birthday and had hidden her in her purse. She did not know that her mom was coming to her room to give her Lily and explain how she worked. She only knew that she loved Lily and wanted her to be happy. +Lily wanted to improve her dress for the party. She had a pink dress with some flowers on it, but she thought it was not fancy enough. She asked her mom for some help. + +"Mom, can you make my dress more fancy?" Lily said. + +"What do you want to do with your dress, Lily?" Mom asked. + +"I want to add some sparkles and ribbons and bows. And maybe a hat too!" Lily said. + +Mom smiled and said, "That sounds like a lot of fun, Lily. But we don't have any sparkles or ribbons or bows or hats at home. How about we use some stickers and crayons and paper instead?" + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "OK, Mom. That sounds good too." + +Mom and Lily went to the table and found some stickers and crayons and paper. They cut out some shapes and colored them with the crayons. They stuck them on the dress with the stickers. They made a paper hat and decorated it with more stickers and crayons. + +Lily looked at her dress and hat and said, "Wow, Mom. You are the best. My dress and hat are so fancy now. Thank you!" + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "You are very welcome, Lily. You are very creative and smart. I'm sure you will have a great time at the party." + +Lily put on her dress and hat and said, "Bye, Mom. I love you!" + +Mom said, "Bye, Lily. I love you too!" +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play and sing together. One day, they find a big cake in the kitchen. It looks yummy. It has red and white cream on top. + +"Let's taste the cake!" Tom says. He takes a big bite. + +"Wait, Tom!" Mia says. "We should ask mom first. Maybe the cake is for someone else." + +But Tom does not listen. He eats more and more cake. He feels happy. + +Suddenly, he feels something hot in his mouth. He spits out the cake. He cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The cake is hot! It hurts!" + +Mia looks at the cake. She sees a candle inside. The cake is a birthday cake. The candle is still burning. + +"Oh no, Tom! You ate the birthday cake! That was not nice. And now you are hurt. I am sorry for you." + +Tom feels sorry too. He feels bad for eating the cake. He feels bad for hurting his mouth. He feels bad for ruining the birthday. + +He says to Mia, "I am sorry, Mia. I was greedy. I should have listened to you. You are a good friend. Can you forgive me?" + +Mia hugs Tom. She says, "I forgive you, Tom. You are my friend. But next time, please ask before you taste something. And be careful of hot things. They can hurt you." + +Tom nods. He says, "Thank you, Mia. You are right. I will be more careful and polite. And I will share with you." + +They go to find mom. They tell her what happened. Mom is not happy. But she is glad that Tom and Mia are sorry. She says, "I am glad that you are sorry. And I am glad that you are friends. But you should not eat the birthday cake. That was for your sister. She will be sad when she sees it." + +Tom and Mia feel sad too. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We love our sister. Can we help you make a new cake?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, you can. That is very kind of you. Come on, let's go to the store and buy some more ingredients. And then we can make a new cake together. And we can sing some music too." + +Tom and Mia smile. They say, "Yes, mom. That sounds fun. We love music. And we love cake. But we love our sister and our mom more." + +They go to the store with mom. They buy some more ingredients. They make a new cake together. They sing some music too. They have fun. They learn a lesson. They are happy. +Lily loved to bring her yellow bear everywhere. She hugged him when she was happy, sad, or sleepy. Her yellow bear was her best friend. He had a name: Sunny. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to visit grandma. Grandma lived in a big house with a big garden. Lily liked to play in the garden with the flowers and the birds. She brought Sunny with her, of course. + +"Hello, Lily, hello, Sunny," grandma said, smiling. "I'm so happy to see you. Do you want some cookies and milk?" + +"Yes, please, grandma," Lily said. "Thank you." + +Lily and Sunny sat on the couch with grandma. Grandma gave them cookies and milk. She also gave them a big book with pictures. + +"This is a memory book," grandma said. "It has pictures of me and your mom and your dad when we were young. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, please, grandma," Lily said. "Show me." + +Grandma opened the book and pointed to a picture. It was a picture of a little girl with a yellow bear. + +"Who is this, grandma?" Lily asked. + +"That's me, Lily," grandma said. "And that's my yellow bear. His name was Sunny, too." + +Lily gasped. She looked at her yellow bear, then at grandma's yellow bear. They looked the same. + +"Did you bring him everywhere, too, grandma?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I did, Lily," grandma said. "He was my best friend, too. He made me happy, sad, and sleepy, too." + +Lily smiled. She hugged her yellow bear, then hugged grandma. + +"I love you, grandma," Lily said. "And I love Sunny, too. He is a memory bear. He reminds me of you." +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play outside. But today, it is rain. Rain is wet and cold. They cannot go to the park or ride their bikes. + +"I am bored," Tom says. "What can we do?" + +"Let's play with the cart," Anna says. "We can pretend it is a car or a train or a boat." + +They go to the garage and find the cart. It is red and has four wheels. They push it to the living room and put some pillows and blankets inside. They make a horn sound with their mouths. + +"Beep beep! Where are we going?" Tom asks. + +"We are going to the bakery," Anna says. "We are hungry and we want some tasty bread and cookies." + +They pretend to drive the cart on the road. They see some cars and trucks and buses. They wave to the people and animals. They stop at the traffic lights and signs. + +"Look, there is the bakery!" Anna says. "Let's park the cart and go inside." + +They get out of the cart and walk to the kitchen. They see Mom making some bread and cookies. She smiles and gives them each a plate. + +"Hello, Tom and Anna," Mom says. "You are my best customers. Here is some tasty bread and cookies for you. Enjoy!" + +"Thank you, Mom!" Tom and Anna say. They sit on the floor and eat the bread and cookies. They are warm and sweet and crunchy. They share with each other and say yum. + +They are happy and full. They forget about the rain. They have fun with the cart. +Tom and Anna are playing in the kitchen. They like to open and close the cupboard doors and look for things inside. Tom finds a big shiny bell and takes it out. + +"Look, Anna, a bell!" he says. "I can ring it like this." He shakes the bell and it makes a loud noise. + +Anna covers her ears. "Too loud, Tom, too loud!" she says. "Mommy will hear and be angry. Put it back in the cupboard." + +But Tom likes the bell. He wants to ring it more. He runs out of the kitchen with the bell. Anna follows him. + +"Tom, stop, stop!" she says. "You will make trouble. Give me the bell." + +Tom runs into the living room. He sees Mommy reading a book on the sofa. He thinks Mommy will like the bell too. He rings it near her ear. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Mommy says. She jumps up and takes the bell from Tom. "This is not a toy. This is a special bell. It belongs in the cupboard. You should not take it out." + +Tom feels sad. He likes the bell. He wants to play with it. He says sorry to Mommy. + +Mommy hugs Tom. She is not angry. She says, "It's okay, Tom. I know you were curious. But some things are not for playing. They are for keeping safe. Come, I will show you where the bell goes." + +Mommy takes Tom and Anna to the kitchen. She opens a cupboard and puts the bell inside. She says, "This is the bell that Grandma gave me. It is very old and very precious. It reminds me of her. I only ring it on special days. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Anna nod. They understand. They say sorry again to Mommy. Mommy smiles and kisses them. She says, "I love you, Tom and Anna. You are my special bells. Now, who wants a cookie?" +Lily and Max are twins. They like to do many things together. They like to play with their toys, read books, and draw pictures. But they also like to do something adventurous every day. + +One day, they decide to do something adventurous for lunch. They ask their mom if they can make their own lunch. Their mom says yes, but she tells them to be careful and not make a mess. She gives them some bread, cheese, ham, and fruit. + +Lily and Max go to the kitchen. They put the bread on a big plate. They cut the cheese and the ham with a small knife. They are very careful not to cut their fingers. They put the cheese and the ham on the bread. They make four sandwiches. They are very proud of their sandwiches. + +They also want to make a fruit salad. They wash the fruit and peel the bananas. They cut the bananas, the apples, and the grapes with the small knife. They put the fruit in a big bowl. They mix the fruit with a spoon. They are very happy with their fruit salad. + +They take their lunch to the living room. They sit on the floor and eat their lunch. They share their sandwiches and their fruit salad. They think their lunch is very delicious and adventurous. + +Their mom comes to the living room. She sees their lunch and smiles. She says, "Wow, you made your own lunch! That is very adventurous of you! I'm so proud of you!" + +Lily and Max smile back. They say, "Thank you, mom! We like to do adventurous things! Can we do something adventurous for dinner too?" +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to smell the flowers and look for bugs. They saw a big red flower that was very pretty. They wanted to pick it and give it to their mom. + +"Let's get the flower, Lily," Tom said. "Mom will be happy." + +"Okay, Tom," Lily said. "But we have to be quick. The flower is near the fence. Dad said we should not go near the fence. There is a bad dog on the other side." + +They ran to the flower and pulled it out of the ground. They were very proud of their flower. They turned around to go back to the house. But they saw something scary. The bad dog was barking at them. He had jumped over the fence. He was very big and angry. He wanted to bite them. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Lily shouted. They dropped the flower and ran to the house. They hoped the door was not locked. They reached the door and pushed it. It was open. They went inside and slammed the door. They heard the dog scratching and growling outside. + +"Are you okay, kids?" Mom asked. She had heard their screams. She hugged them and made them feel safe. + +"Yes, Mom, we are okay," Tom and Lily said. "But we are sorry. We took a flower from the garden. We wanted to give it to you. But the bad dog chased us. We left the flower outside." + +Mom smiled and kissed them. "It's okay, kids. I'm glad you are safe. The flower was very sweet of you. But you should not go near the fence. The dog is very bad. He can hurt you. Next time, listen to Dad. He will lock the fence so the dog can't jump over. Now, let's have some cookies and milk. You were very brave." +Tom likes to watch history shows with his dad. They learn about old people and things they did. Sometimes they see big castles, or swords, or horses. Tom thinks history is fun and cool. + +One day, Tom goes to school and tells his friends about history. He says he knows a lot of things that happened long ago. He says he can name all the kings and queens, and what wars they fought. He says he can tell them stories about knights and dragons, and pirates and treasure. + +But his friends do not believe him. They say he is making things up. They say history is boring and hard. They say he is lying and trying to show off. They laugh at him and call him names. Tom feels very sad and embarrassed. He wishes he never talked about history. + +At home, Tom tells his dad what happened. His dad hugs him and says he is sorry. He says he is proud of Tom for liking history and being curious. He says history is not boring or hard, but interesting and fun. He says history is not something to be ashamed of, but something to enjoy and share. + +He says he has a surprise for Tom. He takes him to the library and shows him a big book. It is a book about history, with many pictures and words. He says they can read it together and learn more things. He says they can also watch more history shows and talk about them. He says he loves Tom and he loves history. Tom feels very happy and excited. He thanks his dad and hugs him. He thinks history is fun and cool. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and make shapes. Anna likes to make triangles. Ben likes to make squares. They share the blocks and have fun. + +One day, a new kid comes to play. His name is Carl. He also likes to make triangles. He sees Anna's triangles and says they are good. He asks Anna to play with him. Anna says yes and goes with Carl. Ben feels sad. He wants to play with Anna too. + +Ben tries to make triangles too. But he does not know how. His triangles are not good. They fall down. Carl laughs at Ben. He says Ben is bad at triangles. Anna does not laugh. She feels sorry for Ben. She tells Carl to stop. She says Ben is her friend. + +Carl gets angry. He says Anna is his friend. He says he loves Anna. He wants Anna to play only with him. He tries to take Anna's hand. Anna does not like that. She pulls her hand away. She says she does not love Carl. She says Carl is mean. + +Anna goes to Ben. She says she is sorry. She says she loves Ben. She says Ben is nice. She asks Ben to play with her. Ben smiles. He says he loves Anna too. He says Anna is fair. He says he is happy to play with her. They hug and make triangles and squares together. Carl is alone. He cries and throws his blocks. He learns a lesson. He learns that love is not fair if you are mean. +Tom and Lily like to pretend a lot. They pretend to be animals, or pirates, or superheroes. One day, they pretend to be in a parade. They put on hats and scarves and hold sticks as flags. They march around the living room, making loud noises. + +"Look at me, I'm the king of the parade!" Tom says, waving his stick. + +"No, I'm the queen of the parade!" Lily says, waving her stick too. + +They both laugh and keep marching. They pretend to see people cheering and clapping for them. + +But then, they hear a sour voice from the kitchen. It is Mom. + +"Tom, Lily, stop making so much noise! You are bothering your baby brother. He is trying to sleep." + +Tom and Lily stop marching. They look at each other. They feel sad. They don't want to bother their baby brother. They love him. + +"Sorry, Mom," they say together. + +They put down their sticks and take off their hats and scarves. They tiptoe to the kitchen. They see Mom holding their baby brother. He is awake and smiling. + +"Can we say hi to him?" Tom asks. + +"Of course, you can. He loves you too," Mom says. + +She lets Tom and Lily hug and kiss their baby brother. He giggles and coos. + +Tom and Lily feel happy again. They don't need to pretend to be in a parade. They have a real family. +Ben and Lily were playing hide and seek in the garden. Ben was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran behind a big bush and looked for a good spot to hide. She saw a hole in the ground and thought it was a good idea. She crawled into the hole and waited for Ben to find her. + +But the hole was not empty. It was full of potatoes. Lily felt something soft and round under her. She picked up a potato and looked at it. She had never seen a potato before. She wondered what it was and if it was good to eat. She bit the potato and made a face. It was not good. It was hard and dirty and bitter. She spat out the potato and threw it away. + +Then she heard Ben's voice. He was getting closer. He was counting to ten. Lily wanted to get out of the hole and run away. But she could not. The hole was too small and she was stuck. She tried to push and pull and wiggle and kick. But nothing worked. She felt helpless. She started to cry. + +"Ready or not, here I come!" Ben shouted. He looked around the garden and tried to find Lily. He saw the big bush and thought Lily might be hiding there. He walked towards the bush and saw the hole. He saw a potato flying out of the hole and landing on the grass. He was confused. He looked into the hole and saw Lily's face. She was crying and dirty and scared. + +"Lily, what are you doing there?" Ben asked. He reached out his hand and tried to help Lily. He pulled her gently and slowly. Lily felt Ben's hand and stopped crying. She grabbed his hand and let him pull her out of the hole. She was free. She hugged Ben and thanked him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I thought it was a good spot to hide. But it was a bad spot. It was a potato spot. I don't like potatoes. They are yucky and icky and sticky. Can we play something else?" Lily asked. + +Ben smiled and nodded. He wiped Lily's face and hands with his shirt. He did not mind getting dirty. He was a good friend. He said, "Sure, Lily. We can play something else. How about we play tag? You're it!" He tapped Lily's shoulder and ran away. + +Lily laughed and chased after Ben. She forgot about the potatoes and the hole and the crying. She was happy and playful and brave. She liked playing tag with Ben. He was her best friend. +Sara and Ben were playing with their balloons in the park. They liked to make them fly in the air and catch them again. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, a big wind came and blew Sara's balloon away. Sara tried to run after it, but it was too fast. She saw it go higher and higher, until it was a tiny dot in the sky. Sara felt sad and angry. She started to weep. + +Ben saw Sara crying and ran to her. He hugged her and said, "Don't cry, Sara. It's just a balloon. It had gas inside, and gas makes things fly. Maybe it will come back, or maybe it will find a new friend." + +Sara looked at Ben and sniffed. She said, "But I liked my balloon. It was pink and shiny and graceful. It made me happy. I don't want a new balloon. I want my balloon." + +Ben thought for a moment. He said, "I have an idea. Why don't we share my balloon? It's blue and shiny and graceful, too. We can make it fly together and have more fun. Maybe your balloon will see it and come back. And if it doesn't, we still have each other." + +Sara smiled and wiped her tears. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I like your balloon. It's very pretty. Let's share it and play some more." + +Ben nodded and gave Sara his balloon. They held it by the string and made it fly in the air. They laughed and had fun again. They didn't see the pink balloon that came back and landed on a tree nearby. It watched them and smiled. It was happy, too. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in nature. They see many things: trees, flowers, birds, bugs. Sometimes they disagree about what to do. + +One day, they find a big hole in the ground. Anna wants to look inside. She thinks there might be a treasure or a secret. Ben does not want to look. He thinks there might be a snake or a spider. + +"Come on, Ben, let's see what's in the hole!" Anna says. + +"No, Anna, it's too scary. Let's go somewhere else!" Ben says. + +They disagree. They pull each other's arms. They make loud noises. + +Mom hears them. She comes to see what's wrong. She sees the hole and the twins. + +"What are you doing, Anna and Ben?" Mom asks. + +"We want to look in the hole, but Ben is scared!" Anna says. + +"I'm not scared, I'm smart! The hole is dangerous, but Anna is silly!" Ben says. + +They disagree. They make faces at each other. They make more loud noises. + +Mom shakes her head. She hugs them both. + +"Anna and Ben, you are both brave and curious, but you need to be careful. The hole might be someone's home, or it might have something that can hurt you. Why don't we go and find something else to explore in nature?" Mom says. + +She takes their hands and leads them away from the hole. She shows them a butterfly, a pinecone, and a mushroom. They forget about the hole. They agree. They smile and laugh. They have fun in nature. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the big red automobile. The automobile can make sounds and move by itself. Tom and Anna like to take turns driving the automobile. + +One day, Tom and Anna are playing with the automobile in the living room. The sun is shining and the air is mild. They want to go outside and drive the automobile in the yard. They ask their mom if they can go. + +"Mom, can we go outside and play with the automobile?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, you can go outside, but you have to be careful. The automobile is not for the street. Only for the yard. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +"Yes, Mom, we understand. We will be careful. Thank you, Mom!" Anna says. + +Tom and Anna put on their shoes and jackets and go outside with the automobile. They have fun driving the automobile in the yard. They make sounds and laugh. + +But then, Tom sees a big truck on the street. He thinks the truck is cool. He wants to drive the automobile next to the truck. He forgets what Mom said. + +"Anna, look at the truck! It is so big and loud. I want to drive the automobile next to the truck. Come on, let's go!" Tom says. + +"No, Tom, we can't go. Mom said the automobile is not for the street. Only for the yard. The street is dangerous. There are cars and people and dogs. We have to stay in the yard. Please, Tom, don't go!" Anna says. + +But Tom does not listen to Anna. He drives the automobile to the street. He does not see the car that is coming fast. He does not hear the horn that is honking. He does not feel the bump that is hitting. He only sees the truck that is passing by. + +Anna sees everything. She screams and cries. She runs to Tom and the automobile. She hopes Tom is okay. She hopes the automobile is okay. She hopes Mom is not angry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes outside. She sees Tom and Anna and the automobile. She sees the car that is stopped and the driver that is sorry. She sees the truck that is gone. She is scared and mad and sad. + +She hugs Tom and Anna and checks if they are hurt. They are not hurt, but they are scared and sorry. The automobile is hurt, but it can be fixed. The car is hurt, but it can be fixed. The driver is not hurt, but he is shaken. + +Mom scolds Tom and reminds him of the rules. She tells him he is not allowed to drive the automobile on the street. She tells him he has to listen to her and to Anna. She tells him he has to be careful and safe. She tells him he is lucky nothing worse happened. + +Tom says he is sorry. He says he was wrong. He says he will not do it again. He says he loves Mom and Anna and the automobile. + +Mom says she is sorry too. She says she loves Tom and Anna and the automobile. She says they can still play with the automobile, but only in the yard. She says they have to be good and have fun. + +Tom and Anna say okay. They say they will be good and have fun. They say they will play with the automobile, but only in the yard. They say they will be careful and safe. + +They hug Mom and the driver and each other. They take the automobile back to the yard. They make sounds and laugh. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big deer with brown fur and big horns. The deer was eating grass and leaves. + +"Look, mom, a deer!" Anna said. "Can we go and pet it?" + +"No, sweetie, we have to stay away from the deer. It might be scared of us or hurt us," mom said. + +"But I want to see the deer!" Ben said. He was impatient. He did not like to wait. + +Mom gave them a snack and some water. She said they had to nap soon. They were tired from playing. + +Ben did not want to nap. He wanted to see the deer. He ran away from mom and Anna. He went closer to the deer. + +The deer saw Ben. It did not like Ben. It made a loud noise and shook its head. It ran away from Ben. + +Ben was scared. He cried. He wanted mom. + +Mom heard Ben. She ran to him. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben. You are safe. But you have to listen to me. You can't go near the deer. They are wild animals. They need their space." + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was curious. I wanted to see the deer," Ben said. + +"I know, Ben. But you have to be careful. The deer might not want to see you. They might be napping or eating or playing. They have their own lives. We have to respect them," mom said. + +Anna came to them. She said, "I'm sorry, too, mom. I wanted to pet the deer. But I stayed with you. I did not run away." + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a good girl. You did the right thing," mom said. + +She took them to the car. She said, "Let's go home and nap. We had a long day. Maybe we can see the deer another time. But from far away. And only if they want to see us." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They were sleepy. They napped in the car. They dreamed of the deer. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play outside. But today it is raining. They cannot go to the park or ride their bikes. They are very bored. + +"Mom, can we do something fun?" Ben asks. + +"Sorry, sweeties, but you have to stay inside. It is too wet and cold outside. You can play with your toys or read a book," Mom says. + +Ben and Mia sigh. They do not want to play with their toys or read a book. They want to do something new and exciting. + +They look around the house. They see a sign on the door. It says "Do not enter. Dad is working." + +"What is Dad doing?" Mia wonders. + +"Let's find out," Ben says. + +They sneak to the door. They open it a little bit. They see Dad sitting at his desk. He has a lot of papers and a computer. He looks very busy. + +"That looks boring," Mia says. + +"Shh, he might hear us," Ben says. + +They see a big rug on the floor. It looks soft and cozy. They decide to crawl on it. They pretend they are lions in the jungle. They roar and pounce. + +They have fun for a while. But then they get too close to the desk. They bump into a wire. The wire is connected to the computer. The computer falls off the desk. It makes a loud noise. + +Dad turns around. He sees Ben and Mia on the rug. He sees the computer on the floor. He looks very angry. + +"What are you doing here? You are not supposed to be here. You could have broken the computer. You could have hurt yourselves. Go back to your room. Now!" Dad shouts. + +Ben and Mia are scared. They get up from the rug. They run to the door. But the rug is slippery. They slip and fall. They bump their heads. They cry. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the door. She sees Ben and Mia on the floor. She sees Dad and the computer. She sees the sign. + +She sighs. She picks up Ben and Mia. She hugs them and kisses them. She says sorry to Dad. She takes them to their room. She gives them a band-aid and a cookie. + +She says, "Next time, please listen to the sign. And please do not slip on the rug. It is dangerous. I love you both. Be good." + +Ben and Mia say sorry to Mom and Dad. They say they love them too. They eat their cookies. They play with their toys. They read a book. They are not bored anymore. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with their toys. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and want to try it. + +Sara goes first. She holds her doll and slides down. She is happy and laughs. Ben goes next. He holds his car and slides down. But his car hits a rock and breaks. Ben is sad and cries. His car has a broken wheel and a broken door. + +Sara sees Ben crying and feels sorry for him. She has an idea. She runs to her mom and asks for a patch. Her mom gives her a patch from her bag. Sara runs back to Ben and says, "Don't cry, Ben. I can help you. I can rescue your car." + +Sara puts the patch on the car's wheel and the door. She says, "There, your car is fixed. It has a patch, but it can still drive. See?" She pushes the car on the ground and it moves. Ben stops crying and smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. You rescued my car." + +Sara and Ben hug and play with their toys. They are happy and laugh. Their moms are proud of them. They say, "You are very kind and helpful, Sara and Ben. You learned how to share and care. That is a good moral value." +Lily was hungry. She wanted some soup. She saw Mom in the kitchen. Mom was making soup in a big pot. + +"Mom, can I have some soup?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, my dear. Soup is good for you. It is warm and tasty." Mom said. She took a bowl and filled it with soup. She gave it to Lily. + +"Thank you, Mom. This soup smells good." Lily said. She blew on the soup to cool it down. She took a sip. It was warm and yummy. She smiled. + +"You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it." Mom said. She kissed Lily on the head. She sat next to Lily and ate some soup too. They both enjoyed their soup. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to eat different things. Tom liked sweet things, like cake and candy. Lily liked spicy things, like chili and curry. One day, their mom made a big pot of spicy soup for lunch. She told them to be careful, because it was very hot and spicy. + +Tom did not want to eat the soup. He said, "I don't like spicy things. They hurt my mouth and make me cry. I want cake instead." He pushed his bowl away and pouted. + +Lily wanted to eat the soup. She said, "I like spicy things. They make my mouth happy and warm. I want more soup." She took a big spoonful and slurped it. + +But the soup was too spicy, even for Lily. She felt a fire in her mouth and throat. She coughed and gasped. She reached for her glass of water, but it was empty. She looked at Tom's glass, which was full. She said, "Tom, please give me some water. I need it. The soup is too spicy." + +Tom saw Lily's red face and tears. He felt sorry for her. He said, "Okay, Lily. Here, take my water. I don't need it. I didn't eat the soup." He gave her his glass and watched her drink it. + +Lily felt better after drinking the water. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. I'm sorry I was greedy. I should have listened to mom and been careful. The soup was a threat to my mouth." + +Tom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm sorry I was fussy. I should have tried the soup and not wasted it. Maybe it was not so bad." + +They hugged and said, "We love you, mom. We love you, soup. We love you, cake. We love you, water. We love you, each other." + +Mom heard them and smiled. She said, "I love you, too, Tom and Lily. You are very good twins. You learned a lesson today. Sometimes, things that taste good can be a threat. And sometimes, things that taste bad can be a friend. The important thing is to be careful, to share, and to be grateful." +Lila and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Can we go on the slide, please?" Lila asks her mom. + +"Sure, but be careful. Hold on tight and don't go too fast," her mom says. + +Lila and Sam run to the slide. They take turns to go down. Lila goes first. She sits on the slide and raises her arms. She feels the wind in her hair. She smiles. + +"Wow, this is fun!" she says. + +Sam goes next. He sits on the slide and raises his legs. He tries to touch the sky. He laughs. + +"Look at me, I'm flying!" he says. + +But then, he goes too fast. He reaches the tip of the slide and flies off. He lands on the grass. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +"Ouch, that hurts!" he says. + +Lila runs to him. She sees his knee. It is red and has a small cut. She feels sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, Sam?" she asks. + +"No, I'm not okay. I'm sad and I'm hurt," he says. + +Lila hugs him. She tries to make him feel better. + +"Don't be sad, Sam. It's okay. It's just a small cut. It will heal soon. You are brave and strong," she says. + +She takes him to her mom. Her mom has a band-aid. She puts it on his knee. She kisses it. + +"There, that's better. You are a good boy, Sam. You are beautiful," she says. + +Sam smiles. He feels better. He thanks her mom. + +"Thank you, mom. You are beautiful, too," he says. + +Lila and Sam hold hands. They go back to the slide. They are careful this time. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many branches. Anna wanted to climb the tree and see the birds. Ben was afraid of heights and did not want to climb. + +"Come on, Ben, let's climb the tree. It will be fun!" Anna said. + +"No, Anna, it is too high. I don't want to fall and hurt myself. Let's play on the swings instead." Ben said. + +Anna was stubborn and did not listen to Ben. She ran to the tree and started to climb. She reached a high branch and looked around. She saw a nest with three eggs. She wanted to touch them. + +"Anna, come down! You are too high! You will scare the birds!" Ben shouted. + +Anna did not hear Ben. She reached for the nest. But the branch was weak and broke. Anna fell down with a loud thud. She cried and felt pain in her arm. + +Ben ran to Anna and hugged her. He was worried and sorry. He called for help. A lady came and saw Anna. She was a nurse. She checked Anna's arm and said it was broken. She called an ambulance and took Anna to the hospital. + +Ben went with Anna and held her hand. He said he was sorry and he loved her. Anna said she was sorry and she loved him. They learned to be careful and not stubborn. They settled their fight and became friends again. +Lily was very sad. She had to go to the hospital for an operation. She did not like the hospital. It was big and cold and scary. She did not want to leave her mom and dad and her teddy bear. + +"Why do I have to go, mom?" she asked, weeping. + +"Because you have a bad thing in your tummy, sweetie. The doctor will take it out and make you feel better. It will be very quick and you will not feel any pain. We will be with you all the time, don't worry." mom said, hugging her. + +"But I'm scared, mom. What if it hurts? What if I don't wake up?" Lily said, weeping more. + +"You will wake up, honey. The doctor will give you some medicine to make you sleep. When you wake up, you will have a band-aid on your tummy and a sticker and a balloon. And we will be there to hug you and kiss you and take you home. You are very brave, Lily. You are ready for this." dad said, holding her hand. + +Lily looked at her mom and dad. They smiled at her. She looked at her teddy bear. He winked at her. She took a deep breath and nodded. + +"Okay, mom. Okay, dad. I'm ready. Let's go." she said, wiping her tears. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. One day, they found a new car in the toy box. It was big and shiny and blue. It had four doors and a trunk and a horn. It was the best car they had ever seen. + +Both Tom and Sam wanted to play with the blue car. They reached for it at the same time. They pulled and tugged and shouted. "It's mine!" said Tom. "No, it's mine!" said Sam. They did not want to share. They started to fight over the blue car. They pushed and kicked and bit. They made a lot of noise and mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tom and Sam fighting over the blue car. She was very angry and sad. She took the blue car away from them. She said, "You are not playing nicely. You are not being good friends. You cannot have the blue car until you learn to share and say sorry." She put the blue car on a high shelf where they could not reach it. She made them sit in the corner and think about what they had done. + +Tom and Sam felt bad. They looked at the blue car on the shelf. They looked at each other. They realized they had been silly and mean. They missed the blue car, but they missed their friend more. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said sorry to Mom and asked for the blue car back. Mom smiled and gave them the blue car. She said, "I'm glad you made up. You can play with the blue car, but you have to take turns and be kind." Tom and Sam agreed and thanked Mom. They played with the blue car together and had fun. They learned that sharing is caring and fighting is not. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play on the shore. The shore is where the water and the sand meet. They have a bucket and a shovel. They make castles and holes in the sand. + +One day, they see a bird on the shore. The bird is poor. It has a broken wing. It cannot fly. It looks sad and scared. + +"Look, Ben, a poor bird!" Lily says. "We have to help it!" + +"How can we help it, Lily?" Ben asks. "We are not vets. Vets are people who help animals." + +"Maybe we can give it some water and food," Lily says. "And we can make a nest for it in the sand. Then it will feel better." + +They find a bottle of water and some bread in their backpack. They pour some water in a shell and break some bread into pieces. They put them near the bird. The bird is thirsty and hungry. It drinks and eats a little. + +They use their bucket and shovel to make a nest in the sand. They find some feathers and leaves and put them in the nest. They gently lift the bird and put it in the nest. The bird is warm and cozy. It makes a soft sound. + +"Good bird, good bird," Lily and Ben say. "We are your friends. We will come back tomorrow and see you." + +They wave goodbye to the bird and go home. They are happy. They have helped a poor bird on the shore. +Tom was a boy who liked to sing. He had a microphone that his dad gave him. He sang every day, loud and happy. He sang in his room, in the garden, in the car. He sang to his mom, his dad, his dog, his toys. He sang all the time. + +But one day, his throat started to hurt. He felt a tickle and a scratch. He tried to sing, but his voice was weak and croaky. He coughed and wheezed. He felt sad and quiet. He asked his mom, "Why can't I sing?" + +His mom said, "You have a sore throat, Tom. You need to rest your voice. You sang too much and too loud. You need to drink some water and have some honey. You need to be silent for a while." + +Tom did not like to be silent. He wanted to sing. He looked at his microphone. He missed his microphone. He thought, "Maybe I can sing a little bit. Just a little bit. It won't hurt." + +He picked up his microphone and turned it on. He opened his mouth and tried to sing. But nothing came out. His voice was gone. He felt a sharp pain in his throat. He dropped his microphone and cried. + +His mom heard him and came to his room. She saw him holding his throat and his microphone on the floor. She said, "Oh, Tom, what did you do? I told you to rest your voice. You did not listen. You made it worse. Now you have to go to the doctor. He will give you some medicine and tell you what to do. But you have to be very careful with your voice. It is a precious gift. You have to treat it well." + +Tom nodded and wiped his tears. He felt sorry and ashamed. He learned his lesson. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was silly. I love to sing, but I love my voice more. I will rest my voice and do what the doctor says. I will be more gentle with my microphone. It is an ancient microphone. It was dad's when he was a boy. It is special. I will respect it and my voice." + +His mom hugged him and said, "That's good, Tom. I'm proud of you. You are a good boy. You will sing again, but not today. Today, you need to rest." +Anna and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They make noises like vroom and beep as they race on the grass. Anna has a red car and Ben has a blue car. They are having fun. + +But then, Anna's car stops moving. She tries to push it, but it does not go. She looks at the wheels and sees something sticky and black. It is oil. She does not like oil. It is dirty and smelly. She does not know how it got on her car. + +She calls Ben and shows him her car. Ben looks at it and says, "Oh no, your car has oil on it. That is not good. Oil can make your car slow and sick. We need to clean it." + +He runs to the house and gets a cloth and a bucket of water. He comes back and helps Anna wipe the oil off her car. They work hard and soon the car is shiny and red again. + +Anna is happy. She thanks Ben and says, "You are a good friend. You helped me fix my car. Now it is fine again. Let's play some more." + +Ben nods and smiles. He says, "You are welcome. I like to help you. Your car is fine again. Let's play some more." + +They pick up their cars and start to race again. They hear a sound from the house. It is the phone. It is ringing. They wonder who it is. Maybe it is Mom or Dad. They run to the house to answer the phone. They hope it is good news. They are happy. +Tom and Anna liked to play with their train. It was a big train with many cars and a loud whistle. They put the train on the floor and made it go around the room. They had fun. + +But one day, their mom said they had to go to the store. She said they had to hurry and put away their toys. Tom and Anna did not want to go. They wanted to play with their train. + +"Let's hide the train," Tom said. "Then mom won't see it and we can play later." + +"Good idea," Anna said. "Where can we hide it?" + +They looked around the room. They saw a closet, a bed, a table, and a chair. They tried to hide the train under the bed, but it was too big. They tried to hide it behind the chair, but it was too noisy. They tried to hide it on the table, but it was too high. + +They were running out of time. Mom was calling them. They had to find a place to hide the train. + +"I know," Tom said. "Let's hide it in the closet. It's dark and quiet in there. Mom won't look there." + +"OK," Anna said. "But we have to be careful. The closet is full of stuff. We don't want to break anything." + +They opened the closet door and pushed the train inside. They piled some clothes and boxes on top of it. They closed the door and ran to mom. + +"Are you ready?" mom asked. "We have to go now." + +"Yes, mom," Tom and Anna said. "We put away our toys." + +Mom smiled and took their hands. They went to the car and drove to the store. + +But they did not know that they had hidden the train on top of a poor cat. The cat was sleeping in the closet. It was scared and angry when the train landed on it. It meowed and scratched and tried to get out. It made a big mess in the closet. + +When Tom and Anna came back from the store, they heard a loud noise from their room. They ran to see what it was. They opened the closet door and saw the train, the cat, and the stuff all over the floor. + +"Oh no," Tom and Anna said. "We hid the train on the cat. The cat is mad. The closet is bad. Mom will be sad." + +They looked at each other and said, "Sorry, cat. Sorry, mom. Sorry, train." +Lily was a little squirrel who loved to find acorns. She liked to run and jump and play with her friends in the forest. One day, she saw a big, shiny acorn on the ground. It was the most beautiful acorn she had ever seen. She wanted to have it for herself. + +She picked up the acorn and ran away from her friends. She did not want to share it with anyone. She looked for a good place to hide it. She saw a big hole in a tree. She thought it was a good place to hide her acorn. She ran to the hole and put the acorn inside. + +But the hole was not empty. It was the home of a big, angry snake. The snake did not like visitors. He did not like squirrels. He did not like acorns. He saw Lily and her acorn. He hissed and snapped at her. He bit her on the tail. Lily was scared and hurt. She dropped the acorn and ran away. She cried and cried. + +The snake ate the acorn. He was happy. He had a good meal. He did not care about Lily. He did not care about her friends. He did not care about the forest. He only cared about himself. + +Lily learned a hard lesson. She learned that being greedy and selfish is not good. She learned that sharing and caring is better. She learned that some things are more important than acorns. She learned that some things are more beautiful than acorns. She learned that friends are more beautiful than acorns. But it was too late. She lost her acorn. She lost her tail. She lost her friends. She was sad and lonely. She had a bad ending. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to swim in the pond. They had a big yellow duck that they could sit on and splash with. One day, they saw a new animal in the water. It was brown and furry and had a long tail. + +"Hello, who are you?" Lily asked the animal. + +"I am a beaver. I live in a house made of sticks and mud. What are you doing here?" the animal said. + +"We are swimming and having fun. Do you want to play with us?" Tom said. + +The beaver looked at them and shook his head. "No, thank you. I am very serious. I have to work on my house and find food. Swimming is not for me." + +Lily and Tom felt sad. They wanted to be friends with the beaver. They thought of a way to make him happy. + +"Maybe you would like some tea?" Lily said. "We have a picnic basket with cups and cookies. Tea is very good and warm." + +The beaver looked at them again and smiled a little. "Tea? I have never had tea before. Maybe I could try some. But only for a little while. Then I have to go back to work." + +Lily and Tom were happy. They helped the beaver out of the water and gave him a cup of tea and a cookie. They talked and laughed and learned about each other. The beaver liked the tea and the cookie. He also liked Lily and Tom. He decided that swimming and having fun was not so bad after all. He thanked them for their kindness and invited them to visit his house sometime. Lily and Tom agreed and hugged him goodbye. They went back to their duck and swam some more. They had a new friend who was serious but also sweet. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the yard. But today they are very dirty. They have mud on their hands, feet and faces. They need to bathe. + +"Come on, Anna and Ben, it's time to bathe!" Mom calls from the door. "You can't go inside the house like that!" + +Anna and Ben run to the door. They want to bathe. They like the warm water and the bubbles. But they are also clumsy. They trip over the mail on the porch. The mail falls to the ground. Some letters and magazines fly in the air. + +"Oh no, the mail!" Mom says. She picks up the mail and puts it on the table. "Be careful, Anna and Ben. You don't want to hurt yourselves or break anything." + +"Sorry, Mom," Anna and Ben say. They feel bad. They did not mean to make a mess. They follow Mom to the bathroom. They take off their clothes and get in the tub. Mom helps them wash their hair and body. She sings a song to make them happy. + +Anna and Ben smile. They splash each other and play with the toys. They forget about the mail. They are clean and cozy. They love to bathe. +Lila and Tom like to go to the park with Mom. They see many birds in the park. They see ducks, pigeons, and geese. Lila and Tom have some bread to feed the birds. They break the bread into small pieces and throw them to the birds. + +One goose is very clever. He sees that Lila and Tom have more bread in their bag. He wants to have all the bread for himself. He sneaks behind Lila and Tom and pecks at their bag. He makes a hole in the bag and pulls out a big piece of bread. + +Lila and Tom hear the goose and turn around. They see the goose with their bread. They are not happy. They say, "Hey, that is our bread! Give it back, you greedy goose!" They try to get the bread from the goose, but the goose runs away. He flaps his wings and honks loudly. + +Mom sees what is happening and laughs. She says, "That goose is very clever, but also very naughty. He should share the bread with the other birds. Come on, Lila and Tom, let's go and find another bag of bread. Maybe we can find some nice geese who will share with us." Lila and Tom nod and follow Mom. They still like the park and the birds, but they are careful of the clever goose. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big log near the pond. They wanted to climb on it and pretend it was a boat. + +"Let's go to the log!" Anna said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be wet," Ben said. + +They ran to the log and climbed on it. They had fun making boat noises and waving to the ducks. But then they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you two! Get off my log!" It was Tom, the mean boy from the next street. He was always spoiling their games. + +"Why?" Anna asked. "It's not your log. It's for everyone." + +"No, it's mine. I found it first. And I don't like you. You're silly and boring. Go away!" Tom said. He pushed Anna and Ben off the log. They fell into the mud and got dirty. + +Anna and Ben were very upset. They started to cry. They didn't like Tom. He was mean and rude. They wanted to play on the log. + +"Tom, you're not nice. You're a bully. You can't spoil our fun. We're going to tell the teacher," Anna said. + +"Yeah, and we're going to find a better log. One that you can't reach. And we're going to have more fun than you," Ben said. + +They ran away from Tom and the log. They looked for another log to play on. They hoped Tom would leave them alone. They wanted to have fun and be happy. +Anna likes to fold paper. She can make hats, boats, and planes. She learned from her tutor, Miss Lee. Miss Lee is very nice and polite. She teaches Anna many things. + +One day, Anna wants to show her tutor what she can fold. She brings a big stack of paper to Miss Lee's house. She says, "Look, Miss Lee, I can fold paper for you!" + +Miss Lee smiles and says, "That's wonderful, Anna! You are very clever and creative. Can you show me how you fold paper?" + +Anna nods and picks a paper. She folds it in half, then in half again, then in half again. She makes a small square. She says, "This is a square. You can use it for many things." + +Miss Lee says, "That's right, Anna. A square is a shape with four equal sides. Can you make another shape?" + +Anna picks another paper. She folds it in half, then in half again, then opens it. She makes a cross. She says, "This is a cross. It has four arms. You can use it for drawing or cutting." + +Miss Lee says, "That's correct, Anna. A cross is a shape with two lines that cross each other. Can you make another shape?" + +Anna picks another paper. She folds it in half, then in half again, then in half again. She makes a triangle. She says, "This is a triangle. It has three sides and three corners. You can use it for making hats or boats." + +Miss Lee says, "That's amazing, Anna. A triangle is a shape with three straight sides and three angles. You are very good at folding paper. I'm very proud of you." + +Anna smiles and says, "Thank you, Miss Lee. You are the best tutor ever. I like folding paper with you." +Anna likes to be independent. She does not want to sit in her high chair for breakfast. She wants to sit on a big chair like Mom and Dad. She says, "I am big, I can sit by myself!" + +Mom and Dad smile and say, "Okay, Anna, you can sit on a big chair. But you have to be careful and not spill your milk or drop your waffle." They help Anna climb on a big chair and give her a plate with a waffle and a cup with milk. + +Anna is happy. She cuts her waffle with a fork and dips it in syrup. She takes a big bite and says, "Mmm, yummy!" She drinks her milk and says, "Ahh, good!" She feels very proud and independent. + +But then, she sees a bird outside the window. She wants to see the bird better. She leans over the table and stretches her neck. She forgets about her waffle and her milk. She loses her balance and falls off the chair. Her waffle and her milk fly in the air and land on the floor. + +Anna is scared and sad. She cries and says, "Ow, ow, ow!" Mom and Dad run to her and hug her. They say, "Oh, Anna, are you okay? You have to be careful when you sit on a big chair. It is not easy to be independent. Sometimes you need help and guidance." + +Anna nods and says, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I was too curious and not careful. I want to sit in my high chair again. I still need your help and guidance." Mom and Dad kiss her and say, "We love you, Anna. You are our brave and independent girl. But you are also our little and sweet girl. You can sit in your high chair or on a big chair, as long as you are safe and happy." They clean up the mess and give Anna a new waffle and a new cup of milk. Anna smiles and says, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. I love you too." +Sara and Ben like to play in the yard. They have a big box of crayons and some wood. They use the crayons to mark on the wood. They make shapes, letters and pictures. + +One day, Sara finds a red crayon. She likes red. It is her favorite color. She marks a big heart on a piece of wood. She shows it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I made a heart for you. Do you like it?" Sara asks. + +Ben smiles. He likes the heart. He thinks Sara is nice. He looks for a crayon to mark something for Sara. He finds a blue crayon. He likes blue. It is his favorite color. He marks a star on another piece of wood. He shows it to Sara. + +"Look, Sara, I made a star for you. Do you like it?" Ben asks. + +Sara smiles. She likes the star. She thinks Ben is nice. She hugs him and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are my best friend." + +They put the heart and the star together. They make a sign that says, "Sara and Ben". They hang it on the fence. They are happy. They go to play some more. +Anna and Ben are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going to the zoo. Anna and Ben love the zoo. They want to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants. + +But the car is very slow. There are many cars on the road. Anna and Ben are impatient. They ask Mom and Dad, "When will we get to the zoo?" + +Mom and Dad say, "Soon, soon. Look at the billboard. It says how many miles to the zoo. Can you number the miles?" + +Anna and Ben look at the billboard. It is big and colorful. It has a picture of a giraffe and a number. The number is ten. + +Anna says, "I can number the miles. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. We are at the zoo!" + +Ben says, "No, no, no. That is not how you number the miles. You have to count down from ten. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Now we are at the zoo!" + +Anna and Ben start to argue. They say, "You are wrong. I am right. You are wrong. I am right." + +Mom and Dad say, "Stop, stop, stop. You are both wrong. The billboard is not counting down the miles. It is showing the time. It says how many minutes to the zoo. The number is ten minutes. That means we have to wait a little longer." + +Anna and Ben say, "Oh, oh, oh. We are sorry. We did not know. We will wait a little longer. We will be patient." + +Mom and Dad say, "That's good. We are almost there. Look, there is another billboard. It says, 'Welcome to the zoo. Have fun!'" + +Anna and Ben say, "Yay, yay, yay. We are at the zoo. We will have fun. We will see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants. And the giraffe, too!" +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were in a castle. They used the sofa as a throne, the pillows as crowns, and the curtain as a cloak. They took turns being the king or the queen. + +"Queen Lily, I have a gift for you," Ben said. He held a small box in his hand. He had found it in his mom's drawer. It was shiny and pretty. + +"What is it, King Ben?" Lily asked. She smiled and opened the box. Inside was a necklace with a blue stone. It sparkled in the light. + +"It is a magic necklace. It can make your wishes come true," Ben said. He helped Lily put it on her neck. + +"Wow, thank you, King Ben. It is beautiful," Lily said. She felt very happy. She wished she could keep the necklace forever. + +Just then, they heard their mom coming. She had been in the kitchen making lunch. + +"Kids, time to eat," she called. + +Lily and Ben jumped off the sofa. They forgot about the curtain. As they ran to the kitchen, the curtain got caught on Lily's necklace. It pulled and pulled. The curtain rod broke and the curtain fell to the floor. The necklace also broke and the blue stone dropped out of the box. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben cried. They saw the mess they had made. They also saw their mom's angry face. + +"What have you done?" she asked. She was not happy. She saw her necklace on the floor. It was her favorite one. She had got it from her grandma. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben said. They felt very bad. They did not mean to break the curtain and the necklace. + +"It was an accident, Mom. We were playing castle. The curtain was a cloak and the necklace was a gift," Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She picked up the curtain and the necklace. She saw the blue stone in the box. It was still shiny and pretty. + +"I know you were playing, but you have to be careful with things that are not yours. The curtain and the necklace are very special to me. They are not toys," she said. + +She hugged Lily and Ben. She was not angry anymore. She was glad they were not hurt. + +"I love you, kids. But next time, please ask me before you use my things. And don't drop them, okay?" she said. + +"Okay, Mom. We love you too," Lily and Ben said. + +They helped Mom fix the curtain and the necklace. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their own toys instead. They still liked to pretend they were in a castle, but they used scarves and beads instead. They had fun and they did not make any more mess. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with boats. They made boats from paper and wood. They sailed their boats in the pond. + +One day, Tom saw a big boat in the shop. It was red and shiny. It had a sail and a flag. Tom wanted the boat very much. He asked his mom to buy it for him. His mom said yes. Tom was happy. + +He took his boat to the pond. He showed it to Sam. Sam saw the boat and was envious. He wanted the boat too. He said to Tom, "Your boat is not good. It is too big and heavy. It will sink in the water. My boat is better. It is small and light. It will float fast." + +Tom did not like what Sam said. He said to Sam, "You are wrong. My boat is good. It is big and strong. It will sail far. Your boat is bad. It is small and weak. It will break easily." + +They argued and shouted. They did not play with their boats. They did not have fun. + +A goat was near the pond. It saw the boats. It was hungry. It liked to eat paper and wood. It went to the boats. It ate Tom's boat. It ate Sam's boat. It ate them all. + +Tom and Sam heard the goat. They ran to the pond. They saw the goat. They saw their boats. They were gone. They were sad and angry. They cried and yelled. They blamed each other. They were not friends anymore. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big stick on the ground. Lily wanted to pick it up, but Ben said no. + +"That stick is dirty and sharp. You will hurt yourself," Ben said. + +But Lily did not listen. She ran to the stick and grabbed it. She felt a pain in her hand. She looked and saw blood. She started to cry. + +"See, I told you. You should have listened to me," Ben said. + +Lily felt bad. She wished she had listened to Ben. She regretted picking up the stick. She wanted to go home. + +They walked to the gate, but it was locked. They had stayed too long in the park. They had missed the time when their mom came to get them. They were stuck in the park. + +They felt scared and cold. They had no one to help them. They had no food or water. They had no fun. They were uncomfortable. + +They learned a hard lesson. They should have followed the rules. They should have respected their mom. They should have been careful with the stick. They should have been good friends. They should have been happy with what they had. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big statue of a man with a hat and a coat. He was holding a paper with a symbol on it. Anna and Ben did not know what the symbol was. + +"Who is he?" Anna asked. + +"He is a great man," a voice said. It was an old lady who was sitting on a bench. "He was a leader who helped many people. He fought for freedom and justice. The symbol on his paper is his name." + +"What is his name?" Ben asked. + +"His name is Martin Luther King Jr.," the old lady said. "He had a dream that all people would be treated the same, no matter their skin color or where they came from. He was brave and kind. He taught us to love and not to hate." + +Anna and Ben looked at the statue with wonder. They wanted to learn more about him. + +"Can we touch him?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, you can," the old lady said. "But be respectful. He is a hero."
