+The wolf heard Tom's voice and turned around. It saw Tom running towards it. It was angry and hungry. It growled and jumped at Tom, ready to bite him.
+
+But Sara saw the wolf attack Tom. She was brave. She picked up a big stick and ran out of her hiding place. She hit the wolf on the head with the stick, as hard as she could. The wolf was hurt and scared. It let go of Tom and ran away. It vanished into the woods.
+
+Tom was safe, but he was hurt. He had a cut on his arm and a bruise on his leg. Sara hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was afraid to tell you about the wolf. I should have been more careful."
+
+Tom hugged her back and said, "It's okay, Sara. You saved me from the wolf. You were very brave. I'm proud of you."
+
+The sheep came closer and baaed. They were thankful to Sara and Tom for saving them from the wolf. They licked their wounds and cuddled with them.
+
+Sara and Tom learned a lesson that day. They learned that hiding from danger is not always the best thing to do. They learned that sometimes they have to face their fears and help each other. They learned that bravery is not the absence of fear, but the courage to act despite it.
+Jill and Ben like to play freeze dance. They turn on the music and dance around the room. When the music stops, they have to freeze and not move. They have fun making funny poses and faces.
+
+One day, they play freeze dance with their friend Sam. Sam is not very nice. He likes to cheat and make fun of others. He says he is the best at freeze dance and he can freeze longer than anyone.
+
+They start the game and dance to the music. Jill and Ben are happy and silly. Sam is serious and mean. He tries to push and kick them when they are not looking. He wants to win.
+
+The music stops and they all freeze. Jill freezes like a star. Ben freezes like a robot. Sam freezes like a snake. He sticks out his tongue and hisses.
+
+"Ha ha, you look so dumb!" he says to Jill and Ben. "I am the best at freeze dance. You are losers!"
+
+Jill and Ben are sad and angry. They want to tell Sam to stop being mean. But they can't move or talk. They have to stay frozen.
+
+Sam laughs and laughs. He thinks he is very smart. He does not see the wise old cat that is watching him. The cat does not like Sam. He thinks he is very rude. He decides to teach him a lesson.
+
+The cat jumps on Sam's head and scratches his face. Sam screams and tries to shake off the cat. But he can't move or talk. He has to stay frozen.
+
+The music starts again and Jill and Ben unfreeze. They see Sam and the cat. They are scared and surprised. They run to get help.
+
+Sam is stuck with the cat. He is hurt and scared. He wishes he was not so mean. He wishes he could unfreeze. But he can't. He has to stay frozen.
+
+The end.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Lila says.
+
+"OK!" Tom says.
+
+They run to the slide. They wait for their turn. Then they climb up the stairs. Lila goes first. She sits on the slide. She slides down fast. She laughs.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" she says.
+
+Tom goes next. He sits on the slide. He slides down fast. But he slips. He falls off the slide. He lands on the grass. He cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he says.
+
+Lila runs to him. She sees a cut on his knee. She feels sorry for him.
+
+"Are you OK, Tom?" she asks.
+
+"No, I'm not OK. It hurts!" he says.
+
+A person comes to help. The person is a lady. She works in the park. She has a bag. She takes out a band-aid. She puts the band-aid on Tom's knee.
+
+"There, there. You'll be fine," she says.
+
+"Thank you, lady," Tom says.
+
+The lady smiles. She gives Tom a hug. She gives Lila a hug.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. Be careful on the slide. It's cheap. It's not very good. It's slippery," she says.
+
+Lila and Tom nod. They say goodbye to the lady. They hold hands. They walk to the swings. They play on the swings. They are happy. They are friends.
+Mia loves to dance. She likes to spin and jump and clap her hands. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the kitchen. Sometimes she dances with her parent, who smiles and hugs her.
+
+One day, Mia wants to dance with her parent, but her parent is busy. Her parent is working on the computer and talking on the phone. Mia waits and waits, but her parent does not look at her. Mia feels sad and angry. She stomps her feet and cries.
+
+"Mia, please be patient," her parent says. "I have to finish this work. Then we can dance together, okay?"
+
+Mia does not want to be patient. She wants to dance now. She runs to the computer and pulls the cord. The computer goes off and the phone goes silent. Her parent gasps and looks at Mia.
+
+"Mia, what did you do?" her parent asks. "That was very naughty. You broke the computer and the phone. Now I can't work."
+
+Mia feels sorry. She did not mean to break the computer and the phone. She just wanted to dance. She hugs her parent and says, "I'm sorry, parent. I love you. Can we dance now?"
+
+Her parent sighs and hugs her back. "I love you too, Mia. But we can't dance now. We have to fix the computer and the phone. Then we can dance together, okay?"
+
+Mia nods and helps her parent. She is patient and waits. She knows that her parent loves her and will dance with her soon.
+Ben and Lily liked to play outside after the rain. They jumped in the puddles and splashed each other. They laughed and had fun.
+
+One day, they saw a big puddle that was very dark and deep. It looked mysterious. Ben wanted to jump in it, but Lily was scared. She said, "Stop, Ben. That puddle is not good. It might be dirty or have something bad in it."
+
+Ben did not listen to Lily. He said, "Don't be silly, Lily. It's just a puddle. I want to see what's in it." He ran to the puddle and jumped in.
+
+But he was wrong. The puddle was not just a puddle. It was a hole that someone had dug and filled with water. Ben fell in and got stuck. He cried and called for help.
+
+Lily ran to the puddle and saw Ben. She was scared, but she was also brave. She found a big stick and gave it to Ben. She said, "Hold on, Ben. I will pull you out." She pulled and pulled, and Ben climbed out. He was wet and muddy and cold.
+
+He said, "Thank you, Lily. You saved me. I'm sorry I did not listen to you. You were right. That puddle was not good. It was a hole."
+
+Lily said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are safe. Let's go home and get dry and warm."
+
+They hugged and went home. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful and listen to each other. They learned that some puddles are not good to jump in. They learned that some things are not what they seem. They learned that mysterious things can be dangerous.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big cup in the kitchen. The cup is shiny and has a lid. Lily and Ben want to see what is inside the cup.
+
+"Let's open the cup!" Lily says. She tries to twist the lid, but it does not move. "It is locked. We need a key."
+
+"Maybe we can break the cup," Ben says. He picks up a spoon and hits the cup hard. The cup makes a loud noise, but it does not break.
+
+"Stop, Ben! You will make a mess!" Lily says. She is scared that the cup will break and hurt them. "We need to be smart. Maybe we can ask Mom for help."
+
+Lily and Ben go to find Mom. Mom is in the living room, reading a book. Lily and Ben show her the cup.
+
+"Mom, can you help us open the cup?" Lily asks. "It is locked and we want to see what is inside."
+
+Mom smiles and takes the cup. She looks at the lid and sees a small hole. She takes a paper clip from her book and bends it. She puts the paper clip in the hole and turns it. The lid pops open.
+
+"Wow, Mom, you are so smart!" Ben says. He and Lily look inside the cup. They see some candy and a note. The note says: "For Lily and Ben, from Grandma. Enjoy the candy and share with each other. Love, Grandma."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They hug Mom and thank her. They take some candy and share with each other. They also share with Mom. They learn that being smart is better than being strong, and that sharing is better than fighting. They love Mom and Grandma. They love the cup.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big house with many windows. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go in, maybe we can find some toys," Ben said.
+
+"But it looks scary, maybe there are ghosts," Lily said.
+
+"Don't be silly, ghosts are not real. Come on, it will be fun," Ben said.
+
+They walked to the door and opened it. It was dark and dusty. They heard a strange noise.
+
+"Hello, who are you?" a voice said.
+
+They turned around and saw a white shape with two eyes and a mouth. It was a ghost!
+
+"Aaaah, a ghost!" they screamed and ran away.
+
+The ghost was sad. He did not want to scare them. He just wanted to make friends. He followed them and waved his hand.
+
+"Wait, please, don't go. I'm not mean, I'm lonely. Can we play together?" the ghost said.
+
+Lily and Ben stopped and looked at the ghost. He looked sad and friendly. He was not scary at all. He was adorable.
+
+"Are you sure you are not mean?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I'm sure. I'm a nice ghost. I just want to have fun," the ghost said.
+
+"Okay, then. We can be your friends. What is your name?" Ben asked.
+
+"My name is Casper. Thank you for being nice to me. Do you want to see my toys?" the ghost said.
+
+"Yes, please. We love toys," Lily and Ben said.
+
+They followed Casper to his room. He had many toys and games. They played together and had a lot of fun. They learned that ghosts can be nice and that they should not judge by appearances. They became good friends and visited Casper every day. They waved to him every time they left. Casper was happy and so were they.
+Ben and Mia like to play with puzzles. They have many puzzles with animals, cars, and flowers. They try to complete the puzzles by finding the right pieces and putting them together.
+
+One day, they find a new puzzle in their toy box. It is a big puzzle with a wild lion. The lion has a yellow mane and sharp teeth. Ben and Mia want to complete the puzzle and see the lion.
+
+They start to work on the puzzle on the floor. They look for the pieces with the lion's head, body, and tail. They also look for the pieces with the grass and the sky.
+
+"Look, I found the lion's nose!" Ben says, holding a piece.
+
+"Good job, Ben! I found the lion's eye!" Mia says, holding another piece.
+
+They fit the pieces together and smile. They are almost done with the puzzle.
+
+But then, their dog Spot comes into the room. Spot is a careless dog. He likes to run and jump and bark. He does not see the puzzle on the floor. He runs over the puzzle and makes the pieces fly everywhere.
+
+"Spot, no!" Ben and Mia shout. They are sad and angry. They worked hard on the puzzle and now it is ruined.
+
+Spot stops and looks at them. He does not understand why they are mad. He thinks they want to play with him. He wags his tail and licks their faces.
+
+Ben and Mia sigh. They love Spot, but he is a very careless dog. They decide to put the puzzle away and play with Spot instead. Maybe they can complete the puzzle another day.
+Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play together. Tom had many toys, because his family was wealthy. Anna had only a few toys, because her family was poor. But Anna did not mind, because she was happy with what she had.
+
+One day, Tom invited Anna to his house to play. He showed her his big room, full of toys. He said, "You can play with any toy you want, Anna. They are all mine, but I will share with you."
+
+Anna looked around and saw a shiny red car, a soft brown bear, a noisy train, and many other things. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. But I only want to play with one thing."
+
+Tom was curious. He asked, "What thing do you want to play with, Anna?"
+
+Anna pointed to a corner, where there was a small wooden box. She said, "I want to play with that thing. It looks like a treasure chest. Maybe there is something special inside."
+
+Tom frowned. He said, "That thing? That is not a toy, Anna. That is an old box that my grandpa gave me. He said it was very important, but I never opened it. It is boring and dusty. You should play with something else."
+
+But Anna insisted. She said, "Please, Tom. Let me play with that thing. I want to see what is inside. Maybe it is a surprise for you. Maybe it is a gift from your grandpa. Please, please, please."
+
+Tom sighed. He said, "Fine, Anna. You can play with that thing. But be careful. Do not break it. And do not be disappointed. There is probably nothing inside."
+
+He gave her the box and watched her open it. He expected to see her face sad or bored. But instead, he saw her face light up with joy and wonder. He heard her gasp and say, "Wow, Tom. Look at this. Look at what your grandpa gave you."
+
+Tom moved closer and looked inside the box. He could not believe his eyes. There, in the box, was a beautiful necklace, made of gold and pearls and diamonds. It sparkled and shone like a rainbow. It was the most precious thing he had ever seen.
+
+Anna said, "This is a treasure, Tom. This is a very special thing. Your grandpa must have loved you very much. You are very lucky."
+
+Tom felt a warm feeling in his heart. He said, "Thank you, Anna. You are right. This is a very special thing. And you are a very special friend. You helped me find it. You made me happy. You can have it, Anna. It is yours. I want to share it with you."
+
+Anna hugged him and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very generous. But I do not need it, Tom. I have enough. You should keep it, Tom. It is yours. It is a gift from your grandpa. He wanted you to have it. You should wear it, Tom. It will make you happy."
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Okay, Anna. I will keep it. But I will wear it only when I play with you. Because you are my best friend. And you are the best thing that ever happened to me."
+Sam likes to read books. He has many books with pictures and words. He reads them every day. He has a cat named Max. Max likes to sleep on Sam's bed. He is a peaceful cat. He does not make noise or scratch.
+
+One day, Sam finds a new book. It is big and red. It has a picture of a dragon on the cover. Sam wants to read it. He takes it to his room. He sees Max on his bed. He says, "Move, Max. I want to read this book. It looks fun."
+
+Max does not move. He is too sleepy. He likes the bed. He says, "Meow. Leave me alone. I want to sleep. This is my bed."
+
+Sam gets angry. He does not like Max. He says, "No, this is my bed. You are a bad cat. Go away." He pushes Max off the bed. Max falls on the floor. He hurts his paw. He cries, "Meow. Ow. You are a mean boy. You hurt me."
+
+Sam does not care. He opens the book. He starts to read. He does not see the dragon on the cover. He sees a different picture. It is a picture of a witch. The witch has a big nose and a black hat. She has a broom and a pot. She looks at Sam. She says, "Hello, little boy. You are rude and selfish. You do not share your bed with your cat. You do not love your cat. You are a bad boy. I will teach you a lesson. I will turn you into a frog."
+
+Sam is scared. He tries to close the book. He cannot. The book is stuck. The witch laughs. She says, "Too late, little boy. You cannot escape. You will be a frog forever. You will live in a pond. You will eat bugs. You will croak. You will not read books. You will not have a cat. You will be alone."
+
+Sam feels a change. He feels his skin turn green. He feels his legs shrink. He feels his tongue grow. He feels his eyes bulge. He is a frog. He hops off the bed. He looks for Max. He wants to say sorry. He wants to hug Max. He wants to be a boy again.
+
+He does not find Max. He finds the witch. She picks him up. She says, "Ha ha ha. You are a frog. You are mine. I will put you in my pot. I will make frog soup. You will be my dinner."
+
+She takes him to her pot. She boils water. She throws him in. He feels hot. He feels pain. He tries to scream. He only croaks. He is cooked. He is eaten. He is gone. The end.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together. Every morning, they go to the park with their moms. They have a lot of fun.
+
+One morning, they see a big puzzle on a table. It has many pieces. Tom and Anna want to try it. They ask their moms if they can.
+
+"Sure, you can play with the puzzle. But be careful not to lose any pieces," their moms say.
+
+Tom and Anna nod. They start to look for the pieces that match. They find the corners and the edges first. Then they fill in the middle. They work hard and help each other.
+
+After a while, they complete the puzzle. They are very happy. They see a picture of a jolly clown with a red nose and a big smile. They clap their hands and cheer.
+
+"Wow, you did it! You made the puzzle!" their moms say. They come over and hug them. "You are very smart and clever. We are proud of you."
+
+Tom and Anna smile. They are proud of themselves too. They thank their moms and the puzzle. They put the pieces back in the box. They say goodbye to the clown. Then they go to play on the swings. They have a jolly morning.
+Lila and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish and shells and crabs. They were happy and curious.
+
+One day, they saw something big and gray in the water. It was a whale! The whale was swimming and jumping and spinning. Lila and Ben clapped and cheered. They wanted to see more of the whale.
+
+"Can we go closer, mom?" Lila asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, we have to stay here. The whale is very big and strong. We don't want to scare it or hurt it," mom said.
+
+"But I want to say hello to the whale. Maybe it is lonely and wants to play," Ben said.
+
+"Whales are not lonely, Ben. They have friends and families in the ocean. They are happy and free. We can watch them from here and be respectful," dad said.
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They understood. They watched the whale spin and splash some more. They waved and smiled. The whale seemed to wave and smile back. Lila and Ben felt a connection with the whale. They were not fearful. They were amazed and grateful.
+Lily and Max are best friends. They like to play in the park with their dogs. Lily has a big dog named Spot. Max has a small dog named Fluffy. Spot and Fluffy are also friends. They like to run and chase each other.
+
+One day, Lily and Max go to the park with their dogs. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily and Max want to see the ducks and fish. They hold their dogs' leashes and walk to the pond.
+
+"Look, Max, the ducks are so cute!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, Lily, and the fish are so colorful!" Max says.
+
+Spot and Fluffy see the ducks and fish too. They want to play with them. They pull their leashes hard and try to run to the pond.
+
+"Stop, Spot, stop!" Lily says.
+
+"Stop, Fluffy, stop!" Max says.
+
+But Spot and Fluffy are too strong. They drag Lily and Max to the pond. Lily and Max fall into the water. They get wet and cold. The ducks and fish swim away. Spot and Fluffy are confused. They don't understand why Lily and Max are not happy.
+
+Lily and Max get out of the pond. They are not happy. They are angry at Spot and Fluffy.
+
+"Bad dog, Spot, bad dog!" Lily says.
+
+"Bad dog, Fluffy, bad dog!" Max says.
+
+They take their dogs back to the bench. They dry themselves with a towel. They sit and wait for their moms to come.
+
+"Next time, we need to prevent Spot and Fluffy from running to the pond," Lily says.
+
+"Yes, next time, we need to hold their leashes tighter," Max says.
+
+They look at their dogs. Spot and Fluffy look sad. They wag their tails and lick Lily and Max's faces. They want to say sorry.
+
+Lily and Max smile. They hug their dogs. They forgive them.
+
+"You are still our amazing dogs, Spot and Fluffy," Lily says.
+
+"Yes, you are still our amazing dogs, Spot and Fluffy," Max says.
+
+They all feel better. They are still best friends.
+Lily and Ben were going to Grandma's house for a week. They were very happy. They wanted to pack their bags with toys and books and clothes. Mom helped them pack. She said they could only take one big bag each.
+
+They went to the attic to find their bags. The attic was dark and dusty. There were many old things there. Lily and Ben liked to look at them. They saw a big teddy bear, a wooden train, a doll with a dress, and a box of crayons. They wanted to take them all.
+
+But Mom said no. She said they had to pack only what they needed. She said they could play with Grandma's toys at her house. She said they had to leave some space in the car. She said they had to hurry.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They liked the old things in the attic. They did not want to leave them. But they listened to Mom. They packed their bags with only a few toys and books and clothes. They left the rest in the attic.
+
+They went down the stairs with their bags. They put them in the car. Mom smiled at them. She said they were good children. She said they were successful packers. She said they would have fun at Grandma's house. Lily and Ben smiled back. They were happy again. They got in the car. They waved goodbye to the attic. They said hello to Grandma.
+Tim and Mia were playing in the yard. They liked to jump in the big pile of leaves that Dad had made with the rake. The rake was long and shiny and had many teeth. Tim and Mia took turns to hold the rake and pretend to be a dragon.
+
+"Rawr! I am a big dragon and I will eat you!" Tim said, waving the rake at Mia.
+
+"No, you are not! You are a silly dragon and I will tickle you!" Mia said, running towards Tim.
+
+They laughed and chased each other around the pile of leaves. They had so much fun that they did not see the black cat that was hiding under the leaves. The cat did not like the noise and the movement. It was scared and angry.
+
+Suddenly, the cat jumped out of the pile and hissed at Tim and Mia. It had sharp claws and yellow eyes. Tim and Mia were very surprised and scared. They dropped the rake and ran away. The cat followed them and tried to scratch them.
+
+"Help! Help! There is a mean cat!" Tim and Mia shouted.
+
+Dad heard them and came out of the house. He saw the cat and picked up the rake. He waved the rake at the cat and said, "Shoo! Shoo! Go away, you naughty cat! Leave my kids alone!"
+
+The cat saw the rake and was afraid. It stopped chasing Tim and Mia and ran away. Dad put down the rake and hugged Tim and Mia. He checked them for scratches and kissed them.
+
+"Are you okay, my darlings? That was a bad cat. It must have been lost or hungry. Don't worry, it won't come back," Dad said.
+
+Tim and Mia nodded. They were still trembling a little, but they felt safe with Dad. They thanked him for saving them and told him he was a charming hero. Dad smiled and said he loved them very much. He suggested they go inside and have some cookies and milk. Tim and Mia agreed. They held Dad's hand and walked to the house. They decided they had enough of playing with the rake and the leaves for today.
+Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play in the park with their ball. One day, they saw a big cross on the grass. It was made of wood and had flowers on it.
+
+"Look, a cross!" Lily said. "Maybe someone put it here for us."
+
+"Maybe," Ben said. "Let's play with it."
+
+They ran to the cross and took the flowers. They threw them in the air and laughed. They kicked the ball at the cross and made it fall.
+
+"Stop!" a voice shouted. It was an old man. He looked very sad and angry. He came to the cross and picked it up.
+
+"What are you doing?" he asked. "This is my cross. I made it for my wife. She died last week. She loved flowers. You ruined it!"
+
+Lily and Ben felt scared. They did not know the cross was for someone who died. They did not know the old man was sad.
+
+"We are sorry," Lily said. "We did not know. We just wanted to play."
+
+"Sorry is not enough," the old man said. "You are bad children. You should thank me for not calling the police. Now go away and never come back."
+
+He pushed them away and fixed the cross. He cried and talked to his wife.
+
+Lily and Ben ran away. They felt very bad. They wished they had not played with the cross. They wished they had been more careful. They wished they had said thank you to the old man. But it was too late. They had made a big mistake. They had hurt someone's feelings. They had lost their ball. They had lost their perfect day.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a tall slide. Tom wants to go on the slide, but Lily is scared.
+
+"Come on, Lily, it is fun!" Tom says.
+
+"I don't know, Tom. It is very tall. What if I fall?" Lily says.
+
+Tom thinks for a minute. He has an idea.
+
+"I have a plan, Lily. You can go on the slide with me. I will hold your hand and we will go down together. Then you will see it is not scary at all." Tom says.
+
+Lily thinks for a minute. She trusts Tom. He is her best friend.
+
+"Okay, Tom. I will try. But you have to hold my hand very tight." Lily says.
+
+Tom and Lily climb up the stairs. They sit on the slide. Tom holds Lily's hand. They count to three and slide down. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and scream.
+
+They reach the bottom. They are happy and proud.
+
+"See, Lily, that was fun! Do you want to go again?" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, Tom, I do! That was not scary at all. That was awesome!" Lily says.
+
+Tom and Lily hug. They go on the slide again and again. They have a lot of fun. They are brave and adventurous. They are good friends.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a shiny thing under a big rock. It is round and green and has a picture of a man on it.
+
+"Look, Sam, a mint!" Ben says. He likes mints. They are sweet and make his mouth feel cold.
+
+"Can I see?" Sam asks. He takes the mint from Ben and looks at it. He sees a word under the man's picture. It says "quarter".
+
+"What is quarter?" Sam wonders. He does not know this word.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a name," Ben says. He wants his mint back. He tries to grab it from Sam.
+
+"No, it is mine! I found it!" Sam says. He holds the mint tight. He does not want to share.
+
+They start to fight. They pull and push and shout. They do not see the fat cat that comes near them. The cat is hungry. It sees the mint. It thinks it is a toy. It jumps and snatches the mint from Sam's hand. It runs away with it.
+
+"Hey, stop, cat! Give us our mint!" Ben and Sam yell. They chase the cat. But the cat is fast and clever. It hides under a bush. Ben and Sam cannot find it.
+
+They are sad and angry. They lost their mint. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They hug and say sorry.
+
+"Let's go home, Ben. Maybe Mom has some mints for us," Sam says.
+
+"OK, Sam. And next time, we can share," Ben says.
+
+They walk home together. They are friends again. The cat watches them from the bush. It licks the mint. It does not like it. It spits it out. It goes to find a mouse.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with stickers and crayons. One day, Sara has a new idea. She says to Tom, "Let's mail our pictures to grandma. She will be happy."
+
+Tom thinks this is a good idea. He says, "Yes, let's do that. How do we mail them?"
+
+Sara says, "We need envelopes and stamps. Mommy has some in her drawer. Come, I will show you."
+
+They go to Sara's room and find some envelopes and stamps. They put their pictures inside the envelopes and stick the stamps on them. They write "Grandma" on the front.
+
+Then they go outside and look for a mailbox. They see a big blue box on the wall. Sara says, "This is the mailbox. We put our envelopes in here. Then the mailman will take them to grandma."
+
+Tom says, "That is easy. Let's do it." They put their envelopes in the mailbox and smile. They hope grandma will like their pictures. They are proud of themselves. They go back to Sara's house and play some more.
+Tom was a barber who liked to cut hair. He had a shop with many chairs and scissors and combs. He was elderly, but he was happy and friendly. He had many customers who came to see him.
+
+One day, a big storm came to the town. The wind was very strong and loud. It blew the roof off Tom's shop. The rain came in and wet everything. The chairs and scissors and combs were broken. Tom was very sad and scared.
+
+He tried to repair his shop, but he had no money. He asked his friends for help, but they were busy or poor. He asked the bank for a loan, but they said no. He asked the mayor for a grant, but they said no. He had no one to help him.
+
+He had to close his shop and sell his things. He had no place to live and no work to do. He had no customers and no friends. He was very lonely and unhappy.
+
+He walked around the town, looking for a new home and a new job. But he found nothing. He became sick and tired. He had no food and no medicine. He had no hope and no joy.
+
+He lay down on a bench in the park, and closed his eyes. He never woke up again.
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, they see a big shadow on the wall. It looks like a monster with horns and teeth.
+
+"Wow, look at that shadow!" Tim says. "It is so big and scary!"
+
+Mia is not afraid. She thinks the shadow is funny. She runs to the wall and makes a shadow with her hands. She makes a bunny, a bird, and a flower.
+
+"Look, Tim, I can make shadows too!" Mia says. "They are not scary, they are pretty!"
+
+Tim is curious. He goes to the wall and tries to make a shadow with his hands. He makes a dog, a fish, and a star.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Tim says. "We can make any shadow we want!"
+
+They play with the shadows for a long time. They make animals, shapes, and letters. They laugh and talk.
+
+Then, they hear a voice. It is Tim's mom. She calls them from the house.
+
+"Tim, Mia, it is time to come inside!" she says. "You can choose a snack and a drink!"
+
+Tim and Mia stop playing. They look at each other. They are hungry and thirsty.
+
+"OK, mom, we are coming!" Tim says.
+
+They run to the house. They say goodbye to the shadows. They choose a snack and a drink. They are happy. They had a crazy day.
+Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they saw a big bottle on the grass. It was shiny and red. They wanted to have it.
+
+"Let's share the bottle," Tom said. "We can take turns to play with it."
+
+"OK," Sam said. "But I want to play with it first."
+
+Tom nodded. He gave the bottle to Sam. "Promise you will give it back to me soon," he said.
+
+"I promise," Sam said. He took the bottle and ran away. He had fun with the bottle. He rolled it, threw it, and kicked it. He forgot about Tom.
+
+Tom waited for Sam. He was sad and bored. He wanted to play with the bottle too. He looked for Sam. He saw him near a tree. He ran to him.
+
+"Sam, can I have the bottle now?" Tom asked. "You promised to give it back to me soon."
+
+Sam looked at Tom. He did not want to share the bottle. He liked it too much. He shook his head. "No, it's mine," he said. "Go away."
+
+Tom was angry and hurt. He tried to take the bottle from Sam. Sam pushed him away. They fought over the bottle. They pulled and tugged. They yelled and cried.
+
+The bottle broke. It made a loud noise. It cut their hands. They dropped the bottle. They looked at the pieces. They felt sorry and scared.
+
+They ran to their moms. Their moms hugged them and cleaned their wounds. They asked them what happened. Tom and Sam told them the truth. They said they were sorry.
+
+Their moms were not happy. They said they should not fight over things. They said they should keep their promises. They said they should share and be kind. They said that is what friends do.
+
+Tom and Sam learned their lesson. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up. They decided to play with something else. They found a ball. They kicked it and laughed. They had great fun. They were friends again.
+Sam and Mia are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see many things: trees, flowers, birds, dogs. But they want to see something else. Something big and scary and fun.
+
+"Let's go to the museum!" Sam says. "We can see dinosaurs there!"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Mia says. "I love dinosaurs! They are so cool!"
+
+They ask their mom to take them to the museum. Mom says yes, but they have to be good and quiet. They get in the car and drive to the museum. They are very excited.
+
+At the museum, they see many dinosaurs. Some are small and some are big. Some have horns and some have spikes. Some have long necks and some have short tails. Sam and Mia run from one dinosaur to another. They point and shout and laugh.
+
+"Look, look, look!" Sam says. "This one is a T-rex! He has big teeth and claws. He can eat anything!"
+
+"Wow, wow, wow!" Mia says. "This one is a stegosaurus! He has plates on his back and a club on his tail. He can defend himself!"
+
+They have so much fun. They learn many things. They pretend to be dinosaurs. They roar and stomp and chase each other.
+
+But after a while, they start to feel tired. They have seen so many dinosaurs. They have run so much. They need a break.
+
+"Mom, mom, mom!" Sam says. "Can we have a snack? We are hungry!"
+
+"Sure, sure, sure!" Mom says. "Let's go to the cafeteria. We can have some juice and cookies. And then we can go home and rest."
+
+Sam and Mia nod. They are happy. They have seen dinosaurs. They have had a great day. They follow their mom to the cafeteria. They have a snack. They say thank you to the museum. They get in the car and drive home. They fall asleep on the way. They dream of dinosaurs.
+Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a smart cook like her mom. One day, mom was making a cake for dad's birthday. She mixed flour, eggs, sugar, and butter in a big bowl. Then she poured the batter into a round pan.
+
+"Can I lift the pan and put it in the oven, mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, the oven is very hot. You might burn yourself. Only grown-ups can use the oven. You can help me with something else," mom said.
+
+Anna felt sad. She wanted to do something important. She looked around the kitchen and saw a bowl of colorful sprinkles. She had an idea.
+
+"Mom, can I decorate the cake with the sprinkles?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, that's a great idea. You are very smart, Anna. You can make the cake look pretty and yummy," mom said.
+
+Anna smiled. She took the bowl of sprinkles and waited for mom to take the cake out of the oven. When the cake was ready, mom put it on a rack to cool down. Then she gave Anna a spoon and let her sprinkle the cake with the colors. Anna had fun making patterns and shapes with the sprinkles. She made a heart, a star, and a smiley face.
+
+"Wow, Anna, you did a wonderful job. The cake looks amazing. Dad will love it. Thank you for helping me," mom said.
+
+Anna hugged her mom. She felt happy and proud. She was a smart cook like her mom.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to do many things together. They were adventurous and curious. They liked to play with their toys, read books, draw pictures, and explore the garden.
+
+One day, they saw a big calendar on the wall. It had many numbers and pictures on it. Anna pointed to the calendar and said, "What is this, Ben?"
+
+Ben looked at the calendar and said, "I think it is a special calendar for December. It is called an advent calendar. Mama told me that each day we can open a little door and find a surprise inside."
+
+Anna clapped her hands and said, "That sounds fun! Can we open one today?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, we can. But we have to wait for Mama to come home. She said she will include us in the advent tradition. She said it is a way to count the days until Christmas."
+
+Anna and Ben waited patiently for Mama to come home. They wondered what kind of surprises they would find in the advent calendar. They hoped they would be something adventurous and exciting. They loved to try new things and learn new stories. They were happy to share the advent calendar with Mama and each other.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked their cars and dolls the best. They made noises and stories with their toys, and had fun.
+
+But then, Lila saw something on the floor. It was a broken car. It had no wheels, no doors, and no lights. It was waste. Lila picked it up and said, "Look, Ben, this car is broken. It is waste. We should throw it away."
+
+Ben looked at the car and shook his head. "No, Lila, this car is not waste. It is my car. I love it. It is special. It can fly and talk and do magic. It is not broken, it is different."
+
+Lila did not believe Ben. She thought he was silly. She said, "No, Ben, this car is broken. It cannot fly or talk or do magic. It is waste. Give it to me. I will throw it away."
+
+Ben did not want to give his car to Lila. He held it tight and said, "No, Lila, this car is mine. You cannot have it. You have your own toys. Leave my car alone."
+
+Lila and Ben started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They were not happy. They were angry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Lila and Ben fighting over the broken car. She was not happy. She was angry. She said, "Stop, Lila and Ben. Stop fighting. What is going on here?"
+
+Lila and Ben stopped fighting and looked at Mom. They both said, "Mom, this car is mine. He/she wants to take it away."
+
+Mom looked at the car and said, "This car is broken. It is waste. It is not a good toy. Why do you want it?"
+
+Lila said, "Because it is waste. We should throw it away."
+
+Ben said, "Because it is special. I love it."
+
+Mom sighed and said, "Lila and Ben, you are both wrong. This car is not waste, but it is not special either. It is just a broken car. It cannot fly or talk or do magic, but it is not trash. It is something else. It is a seat."
+
+Lila and Ben looked confused. They said, "A seat?"
+
+Mom nodded and said, "Yes, a seat. A seat for your dolls. You can put your dolls in the car and pretend they are driving. You can make noises and stories with them, and have fun. You can share the car and play together. It is not a waste, it is a seat."
+
+Lila and Ben thought about it. They looked at the car and their dolls. They smiled and said, "A seat. That is a good idea. Thank you, Mom."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lila and Ben. Now, go and play nicely. And remember, don't fight over toys. Toys are for sharing and having fun."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. We will."
+
+They took the car and their dolls and went to the couch. They put their dolls in the car and pretended they were driving. They made noises and stories with them, and had fun. They shared the car and played together. They were happy. They were friends.
+Lily and Ben are playing with a big box. They pretend it is a car. They make noises like vroom and beep. They have fun.
+
+But then Lily sees a shiny key on the floor. She picks it up and says, "Look, Ben, I found a key. Maybe it can start the car."
+
+Ben is curious. He says, "Let me see, Lily. Maybe we can put it in the box and turn it."
+
+They look for a hole in the box that fits the key. They find one on the side. Lily puts the key in and turns it. Nothing happens.
+
+They try again and again. They turn the key left and right. They push and pull. They still hear no sound.
+
+They are sad. They think the key is broken. They think the car is broken.
+
+Then they hear a voice from inside the box. It is their dad. He says, "Surprise! You did it! You finished the puzzle. The key was the last piece. You are successful. You can open the box and see what is inside."
+
+Lily and Ben are surprised. They are happy. They open the box and see their dad. He has a big smile. He has a cake. He says, "Happy birthday, Lily and Ben. You are twins. You are three years old today. I made you a cake. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily and Ben hug their dad. They say, "We love you, dad. We love the cake. Thank you for the puzzle. It was fun. Can we play with the box again?"
+
+Their dad says, "Of course you can. But first, let's eat some cake. You deserve it. You are smart and brave. You are my best kids."
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. They have a big tire that they roll and jump on. They take turns to push the tire and ride on it.
+
+One day, a big dog comes to the yard. The dog is fierce. It has sharp teeth and loud bark. It runs to the tire and bites it. The tire pops and makes a loud noise. The dog runs away.
+
+Tim and Sam are scared and sad. They love their tire. They shout for their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, help! A fierce dog popped our tire!"
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the yard. She sees the tire and the dog. She hugs Tim and Sam and tells them not to worry.
+
+"I'm sorry, boys. That dog is bad. He should not come here. I will call the owner and tell him to keep his dog away. We will get you a new tire soon. Don't be sad. You are brave boys."
+
+Tim and Sam feel better. They thank their mom and hug her. They go inside and have some cookies. They hope to get a new tire soon. They still like to play in the yard.
+Ben was a brave boy who liked to play with his new sword. He got it for his birthday from his dad, who said it was a special sword that could fight dragons. Ben wanted to be a dragon slayer, like his dad, who told him stories of his adventures.
+
+One day, Ben decided to go to the forest behind his house, where he heard there was a dragon. He took his new sword and a bag of cookies, in case he got hungry. He walked and walked, until he saw a big cave. He thought the dragon might live there, so he went inside.
+
+The cave was dark and cold, and Ben heard a loud snore. He followed the sound, and saw a huge, green dragon, sleeping on a pile of gold and jewels. Ben was scared, but he remembered his dad's words: "A dragon slayer never gives up, son. You have to be brave and smart, and use your sword well."
+
+Ben took out his new sword, and crept closer to the dragon. He saw a spot on its neck, where the scales were thin. He thought that was its weak point, so he raised his sword and got ready to strike. But just then, the dragon opened one eye, and saw Ben. It roared and breathed fire, and Ben trembled with fear.
+
+He dropped his sword and ran back to the cave entrance, but the dragon was faster. It blocked his way, and snapped its teeth at him. Ben thought he was going to die, and wished he had stayed home. He looked around, and saw his bag of cookies on the ground. He had an idea. He threw a cookie at the dragon, and said: "Please, don't eat me, Mr. Dragon. I have more cookies, if you want. They are yummy and sweet, and much better than me."
+
+The dragon was curious, and sniffed the cookie. It liked the smell, and ate it. It tasted good, and the dragon wanted more. Ben threw another cookie, and another, until he ran out. The dragon was full and happy, and forgot about Ben. It said: "Thank you, little boy, for the cookies. They were the best thing I ever ate. You are a kind and clever boy, and I will not hurt you. You can have your sword back, and some of my gold, if you like. But please, don't tell anyone where I live. I don't want more dragon slayers to bother me."
+
+Ben was surprised, and glad. He said: "You're welcome, Mr. Dragon. I'm sorry I tried to kill you. I thought you were mean and scary, but you are nice and friendly. I won't tell anyone where you live, I promise. And I don't need your gold, I have enough. But can I have one jewel, to give to my dad? He will be proud of me, and he will like you, too."
+
+The dragon agreed, and gave Ben a shiny ruby. Ben thanked him, and took his sword and his jewel. He said goodbye to the dragon, and left the cave. He ran back to his house, and told his dad everything. His dad hugged him, and said: "You are a true dragon slayer, son. You faced your fear, and you made a friend. I'm very proud of you, and I'm sure the dragon is, too. You have a new sword, and a new story, and a new ruby. What a wonderful birthday!"
+Tim and Lily were two cute kittens who lived in a big shelter with many other animals. They liked to play and explore, but they also had to follow some rules. One of the rules was to never go outside the shelter without a grown-up.
+
+One day, Tim and Lily saw a shiny red ball outside the fence. They wanted to play with it, but they knew they were not allowed. They looked around and saw no one watching. They decided to sneak out and get the ball.
+
+They ran across the street and reached the ball. They had fun chasing and rolling it. But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big car coming fast. Tim and Lily were scared. They tried to run back to the shelter, but the car was too close. They froze in the middle of the street.
+
+"Tim! Lily! Get out of there!" They heard a voice. It was Max, the big dog who worked at the shelter. He ran towards them and pushed them out of the way. The car missed them by a hair. Max was hurt by the car, but he saved Tim and Lily.
+
+"Max, you saved us! Thank you!" Tim and Lily said.
+
+"Are you okay, Max?" They asked.
+
+"I'll be fine, don't worry. But you two, you were very naughty. You broke the rule and put yourselves in danger. Why did you do that?" Max asked.
+
+"We wanted to play with the ball. It was so shiny and red. We thought it would be fun. We're sorry, Max. We won't do it again." Tim and Lily said.
+
+"Listen, kids. The rules are there for a reason. They are to keep you safe and happy. The outside world can be dangerous and scary. You have a nice home here, with food and water and toys and friends. You don't need to risk your lives for a silly ball. Do you understand?" Max said.
+
+"Yes, Max. We understand. We're sorry we made you worry. We love you, Max." Tim and Lily said.
+
+"I love you too, kids. Now, let's go back to the shelter. I need to see the vet and you need to see the boss. He won't be happy with you, but he'll forgive you. He's a good man. He allows us to live here and he cares for us. He's like our family. And family is the most important thing in the world. Remember that." Max said.
+
+Tim and Lily nodded. They hugged Max and followed him back to the shelter. They learned their lesson and never tried to sneak out again. They were happy and grateful for their home and their family. And they never forgot how Max saved their lives. He was their hero.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play outside in the yard. There is a big fence around the yard. The fence keeps them safe from the road and the cars.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam see a hole in the fence. They are curious. They want to see what is on the other side. They crawl through the hole and find a big pile of dirt. They think it is fun to play in the dirt. They make mud pies and throw them at each other. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But they do not see the big dog that lives next to the pile of dirt. The dog does not like strangers. The dog sees Tom and Sam and starts to bark and growl. He runs towards them. Tom and Sam are scared. They try to run back to the hole in the fence, but the dog is faster. He catches Sam by his leg and bites him. Sam cries out in pain.
+
+"Help! Help!" Sam shouts. Tom hears him and turns around. He sees the dog and Sam. He is brave. He picks up a stick and hits the dog on the nose. The dog lets go of Sam and runs away. Tom helps Sam get up and they crawl back through the hole in the fence.
+
+They are dirty and hurt. They see their mom and dad coming out of the house. They look angry and worried. They ask them what happened and why they are so dirty. Tom and Sam tell them the truth. They say they are sorry. They say they will not go through the hole in the fence again.
+
+Their mom and dad hug them and take them inside. They clean their wounds and give them a bath. They say they are glad they are safe. They say they love them. They say they will fix the hole in the fence to prevent the dog from coming in. Tom and Sam say they love them too. They say they learned their lesson. They say they will play in the yard and not in the dirt. They say they will be good.
+Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, Anna found a new gum in her pocket. It was pink and shiny and smelled like strawberries. She wanted to share it with Ben, but he was busy playing with his car.
+
+"Ben, look what I have!" Anna said, holding the gum. "Do you want some?"
+
+Ben looked at the gum and frowned. He did not like gum. He thought it was sticky and yucky and bad for his teeth. He shook his head and said, "No, thank you. I don't like gum. You can have it all."
+
+Anna felt sad. She thought Ben was rude and mean. She wanted him to like what she liked. She decided to teach him a lesson. She took the gum out of the wrapper and stretched it with her fingers. Then she sneaked behind Ben and put the gum in his hair.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Ben shouted, feeling something in his hair. He touched it and saw the gum. It was thick and gooey and hard to pull out. He started to cry. "Anna, why did you do that? That's not nice. That's not funny. That hurts."
+
+Anna saw Ben crying and felt sorry. She realized she had made a mistake. She did not want to hurt Ben. She wanted to be his friend. She ran to him and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry. I was mad at you, but I shouldn't have done that. Please forgive me. Please."
+
+Ben looked at Anna and saw her tears. He felt her hug and heard her words. He knew she was sorry. He knew she was his friend. He hugged her back and said, "It's okay, Anna. It's okay. I forgive you. I'm sorry too. I should have been nicer to you. Please forgive me. Please."
+
+Anna and Ben smiled and wiped their tears. They forgave each other and hugged again. Then they went to find Ben's mom. She helped them get the gum out of Ben's hair. She was not angry. She was glad they were friends again. She gave them each a cookie and a glass of milk. They ate and drank and talked and laughed. They were happy. They were best friends.
+Sara did not like her new sweater. It was too big and too scratchy and had a disgusting smell. She wanted to wear her old sweater, the one with the pink flowers and the soft fabric. But her mom said no. She said it was too cold outside and she had to wear the new sweater.
+
+"Please, mom, please, can I wear my old sweater?" Sara begged.
+
+"No, Sara, you have to wear this one. It will keep you warm and cozy. You will understand when you grow up. Now, let's go, we have to meet grandma at the park." Her mom said.
+
+Sara was very sad and angry. She did not understand why her mom was so mean. She did not want to go to the park. She did not want to see grandma. She did not want to wear the new sweater. She wanted to stay home and play with her dolls.
+
+But she had no choice. She had to follow her mom. She put on the new sweater and went outside. She felt itchy and smelly and unhappy.
+
+When they got to the park, Sara saw grandma waiting for them on a bench. She smiled and waved at them. She had a big bag with her.
+
+"Hello, Sara, hello, mom. I have a surprise for you, Sara. Come here and see what I have for you." Grandma said.
+
+Sara was curious. She liked surprises. She hoped it was something nice. She walked over to grandma and looked inside the bag.
+
+She gasped. She could not believe her eyes. It was her old sweater, the one with the pink flowers and the soft fabric. The one she loved so much.
+
+"Grandma, grandma, is this for me?" Sara asked.
+
+"Yes, Sara, it is. I found it in the attic. I remember I knitted it for you when you were a baby. It was your favorite sweater. I thought you might like to have it back." Grandma said.
+
+Sara was overjoyed. She hugged grandma and thanked her. She took off the new sweater and put on the old sweater. She felt warm and cozy and happy.
+
+She looked at her mom and smiled. She said, "Mom, I understand now. You wanted me to wear the new sweater because you thought it was better for me. But grandma knew what I really wanted. She gave me the best surprise ever. I love you both. Thank you for the sweaters."
+
+Her mom smiled back. She said, "You're welcome, Sara. I'm glad you're happy. I love you too. And thank you, mom, for the surprise. You're the best grandma ever."
+
+They all hugged and laughed. They went to play in the park. Sara felt itchy and smelly and unhappy no more. She felt warm and cozy and happy. She wore her old sweater, the one with the pink flowers and the soft fabric. The one she loved so much. The end.
+Tommy likes to draw with his pen. He draws cars and dogs and stars on his paper. He is very happy when he draws.
+
+One day, his mom gives him a new pen. It is blue and shiny and has a funny cap. Tommy says, "Thank you, mom. I like this pen."
+
+He opens the cap and tries to draw. But nothing comes out. He shakes the pen and presses hard. Still nothing. He is sad and confused.
+
+He shows the pen to his mom and says, "Mom, this pen is broken. It does not draw."
+
+His mom smiles and says, "No, Tommy, this pen is not broken. It is a special pen. It has a smelly ink. You have to smell it to see the color."
+
+She takes the pen and puts it under her nose. She smells something sweet and says, "This pen smells like blueberries. See, the ink is blue."
+
+She gives the pen back to Tommy and says, "You try it. Smell the pen and then draw."
+
+Tommy is curious. He smells the pen and says, "Wow, it does smell like blueberries. I like it."
+
+He draws a big circle on his paper and says, "Look, mom, I drew a blueberry."
+
+His mom claps and says, "Good job, Tommy. You are very smart. You understand how the smelly pen works."
+
+Tommy is proud and happy. He smells the pen again and says, "I want to draw more. What else does the pen smell like?"
+
+He opens the cap and smells another color. He says, "This pen smells like strawberries. I will draw a strawberry."
+
+He draws a red heart on his paper and says, "Look, mom, I drew a strawberry."
+
+His mom hugs him and says, "That's wonderful, Tommy. You are very creative. I love your drawings."

+Lily was a gifted girl who liked to discover new things. She loved to play with her toys, but she also wanted to learn how things worked. One day, she found a big box in the garage. It was made of steel and had many buttons and wires. She wondered what it was.
+
+She opened the box and saw a lot of shiny tools and parts. She picked up a screwdriver and a wrench and tried to fit them together. She felt happy and curious. She wanted to make something with the tools and parts.
+
+She heard her dad coming into the garage. He saw Lily and the box and smiled. He said, "Hi, Lily. What are you doing?"
+
+Lily said, "I'm discovering, dad. I found this steel box with tools and parts. Can I make something with them?"
+
+Her dad said, "Sure, Lily. You can make something with them. But you have to be careful. Some of the tools and parts are sharp and can hurt you. And some of the wires have electricity and can shock you. Do you want me to help you?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please, dad. I want to learn from you. You are gifted, too. You can make anything with tools and parts."
+
+Her dad said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very sweet. And you are very smart. You have a lot of potential. Come, let's discover together. Maybe we can make a robot or a car or a plane. What do you think?"
+
+Lily said, "I think that sounds fun, dad. Let's make a robot. I like robots. They can talk and move and do things."
+
+Her dad said, "OK, Lily. Let's make a robot. But first, let's put on some gloves and goggles to protect our hands and eyes. Safety first, right?"
+
+Lily said, "Right, dad. Safety first. Then, discovery. Then, fun."
+
+They put on their gloves and goggles and started to work on their robot. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot. They were both gifted and happy.
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. Today is Tim's birthday. He wants to celebrate with Mia.
+
+"Come to my house, Mia. I have cake and balloons. We can have fun," Tim says.
+
+"OK, Tim. I like cake and balloons. Let's go," Mia says.
+
+They walk to Tim's house. But on the way, they see something strange. The air is wet and cold. They cannot see far. It is mist.
+
+"What is this, Tim? It is not nice. It is boring," Mia says.
+
+"I don't know, Mia. It is mist. It is water in the air. It makes everything look gray," Tim says.
+
+They are not happy. They want to see the sun and the sky. They want to celebrate.
+
+"Maybe we can make the mist go away. Maybe we can blow it like bubbles," Tim says.
+
+He tries to blow the mist. Mia tries too. They blow and blow. But the mist does not go away. It stays.
+
+They are sad. They think they cannot celebrate.
+
+But then, they hear a sound. It is Tim's mom. She is calling them.
+
+"Tim, Mia, where are you? Come to the house. The cake is ready. The balloons are here. It is time to celebrate," she says.
+
+They hear her voice. They follow it. They run to the house. They see the cake and the balloons. They see the candles and the presents. They see Tim's mom and dad. They smile.
+
+They forget the mist. They are happy. They celebrate.
+Sara liked to balance on the wall. The wall was long and high and went around the village. Sara's mom said the wall was to keep them safe from the big animals that lived in the forest. Sara did not see any big animals, only birds and bugs and flowers. She liked to look at them from the wall.
+
+One day, Sara saw a gray cloud in the sky. It was big and dark and scary. Sara's mom said it was going to rain soon and they had to go inside. Sara did not want to go inside. She wanted to stay on the wall and watch the cloud. She said to her mom, "Please, can I stay a little longer? I want to see the rain."
+
+Sara's mom said, "No, Sara, you have to come down now. The rain will make the wall slippery and you might fall. It is not safe to balance on the wall when it rains. Come on, let's go home and have some cookies and milk."
+
+Sara did not listen to her mom. She said, "I will be careful, mom. I will not fall. I can balance very well. Please, let me stay." She turned away from her mom and walked along the wall.
+
+Sara's mom sighed and followed her. She tried to catch up with her and hold her hand. But Sara was too fast and too far. She did not see the raindrops that started to fall. She did not feel the wall that started to get wet. She did not hear the thunder that started to roar. She only saw the gray cloud that got bigger and bigger.
+
+Sara was so busy looking at the cloud that she did not notice the crack in the wall. She stepped on it and lost her balance. She screamed and fell off the wall. Sara's mom saw her fall and ran to her. She was scared and sad. She hoped Sara was not hurt. She hoped Sara would listen to her next time. She hoped Sara would learn her lesson.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who was very friendly and liked to chase balls.
+
+One sunny day, Tom and Lily decided to have a picnic in the yard. They asked their mom to make them some sandwiches and juice. Mom said yes, but told them to put on their shirts first. She said it was hot and they could get sunburned.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to their room and found their shirts. Tom put on his blue shirt and Lily put on her pink shirt. They were ready to go outside. But Spot was lying on the couch, looking very lazy. He did not want to move.
+
+"Come on, Spot!" Tom said. "Let's go outside and play!"
+
+"Spot, Spot, Spot!" Lily said. "We have sandwiches and juice for you!"
+
+But Spot did not listen. He closed his eyes and yawned. He liked the couch. It was soft and cool.
+
+"Fine, Spot," Tom said. "You can remain here. But you will miss all the fun!"
+
+Tom and Lily grabbed their picnic basket and ran outside. They had a great time on the swing, the slide and the sandbox. They ate their sandwiches and juice and shared some with Spot. Spot came outside after a while. He smelled the food and wagged his tail. He was not lazy anymore. He joined Tom and Lily and played with them. They had a happy day.
+Tom and Amy wanted to bake a cake for Mom's birthday. They found a box of cake mix in the pantry and a bowl and a spoon in the drawer. They poured the mix into the bowl and added some water and oil. They stirred and stirred until the batter was smooth.
+
+"Let's put some chocolate chips on top," Amy said. She opened the refrigerator and looked for the bag of chocolate chips. She saw it on the top shelf, behind a big jar of pickles. She reached for it, but the jar was too heavy and it fell down. It broke on the floor and made a loud noise.
+
+Tom and Amy were scared. They heard Mom coming down the stairs. They knew they were in trouble. They hid under the table and hoped Mom would not see them.
+
+Mom came into the kitchen and saw the mess. She saw the broken jar, the spilled pickles, the bowl of batter, and the cake mix box. She was angry. She looked around and saw two pairs of feet sticking out from under the table.
+
+"Tom, Amy, what have you done?" she asked.
+
+Tom and Amy came out from under the table. They looked at Mom with sad eyes.
+
+"We wanted to bake a cake for you, Mom," Tom said.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom," Amy said.
+
+Mom sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was touched by their gesture. She hugged them and said, "Thank you, my sweeties. That was very thoughtful of you. But next time, please ask me before you use the kitchen. And be careful with the refrigerator. It can be dangerous."
+
+She helped them clean up the mess and put the batter in a pan. She put the pan in the oven and set the timer. She said, "Let's bake the cake together. And then we can decorate it with some frosting and sprinkles. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom and Amy smiled. They said, "That sounds great, Mom. We love you, Mom. Happy birthday, Mom."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to look for acorns under the big tree. They found many acorns and put them in a basket. They were happy.
+
+"Look, I found a big acorn!" Lily said. "It is bigger than my hand!"
+
+"Wow, that is a big acorn!" Ben said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Lily gave the acorn to Ben. He held it in his hand and felt how heavy it was. He wanted to keep it for himself.
+
+"Can I have it back?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, it is mine now!" Ben said. He ran away with the acorn.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She ran after Ben and shouted, "Give it back! Give it back!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He ran faster and faster. He did not see the hole in the ground. He tripped and fell. The acorn flew out of his hand and hit a bee hive.
+
+The bees were angry. They came out of the hive and buzzed around Ben. They stung him all over. He cried and screamed.
+
+Lily saw what happened. She was scared. She ran to the bench where her mom was sitting. She told her mom what happened.
+
+Her mom was worried. She took Lily and ran to Ben. She saw the bees and the acorn. She called for help.
+
+The end.
+One day, Sam and Lily went to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Sam said.
+
+"Yes, he is. But he looks cold. Maybe we should give him a hug," Lily said.
+
+They ran to hug their snowman, but they forgot that he was made of snow. When they touched him, they felt very cold and wet. They started to shiver and their teeth chattered.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! He is so cold! He makes us freeze!" Sam said.
+
+"Let's go back to the house. We need to get warm and dry," Lily said.
+
+They ran back to the house, leaving their snowman alone. They took off their wet clothes and put on dry ones. They drank some hot chocolate and sat by the fire. They felt better and cozy.
+
+"Mom, why is the snowman so cold?" Sam asked.
+
+"Because he is made of snow, and snow is frozen water. When you touch it, it takes away your heat and makes you cold," Mom said.
+
+"Can we make him warm?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, you can't. If you try to make him warm, he will melt and disappear. He is not like us. He is not normal," Mom said.
+
+"Then how can we be friends with him?" Sam asked.
+
+"You can be friends with him, but you have to respect his difference. You can't hug him or try to change him. You can talk to him, sing to him, or play with him from a distance. You can also make him some friends, like other snowmen or snow animals. He will be happy if you do that," Mom said.
+
+Sam and Lily understood. They learned that not everyone is the same, and that they have to be kind and respectful to those who are different. They went back to the snowman and made him a snow dog and a snow cat. They said hello to him and told him stories. They had fun with him, but they did not touch him. They were good friends with their snowman.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a picture of a globe on it.
+
+"What is this?" Anna asks.
+
+"It is a world," Ben says. "Dad said he got it for us. He said we can learn about different places and people."
+
+"Can we open it?" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, let's open it," Ben says.
+
+They open the box and see a big ball with many colors and shapes on it. It has a stand and a pointer. They put the ball on the stand and spin it.
+
+"Look, this is where we live," Ben says, pointing to a green and blue part. "It is called America."
+
+"And this is where Grandma lives," Anna says, pointing to a yellow and brown part. "It is called Africa."
+
+They spin the ball some more and see other parts with different names and pictures. They see animals, plants, buildings, and people.
+
+"Wow, the world is so big and beautiful," Anna says.
+
+"Yes, it is," Ben says. "And we are so lucky to have it."
+
+They hug each other and smile.
+
+"Come, let's show Dad our new world," Anna says.
+
+"OK, let's go," Ben says.
+
+They take the world by the stand and run to find Dad. They are happy and excited. They think the world is fine.

+
+They ask their mom and dad if they can climb the tree. Mom and dad say yes, but be careful. Tom and Mia are happy. They say thank you and run to the tree.
+
+They climb the tree slowly and carefully. They hold on to the branches. They see many birds and squirrels in the tree. They speak to the animals. The animals speak back. Tom and Mia are surprised. They think the tree is magic.
+
+They ask the animals how they can speak. The animals say they can speak because they are lucky. They say the tree is a lucky tree. It gives them a gift. They can speak to anyone who climbs the tree.
+
+Tom and Mia are amazed. They think they are lucky too. They thank the animals and the tree. They climb down the tree and tell their mom and dad what happened. Mom and dad smile and hug them. They say they are very lucky to have such a wonderful tree and such wonderful friends.
+Lily and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But sometimes they make a big mess. They leave their blocks, cars, dolls and books all over the floor.
+
+One day, Mom comes home from work and sees the messy living room. She is not happy. She tells Lily and Ben to clean up their toys. She says they have to wipe the dust and dirt from the table and the sofa too.
+
+Lily and Ben do not want to clean up. They want to keep playing. They start to whine and cry. Mom says they have to do it or they will not get any snack.
+
+Lily and Ben decide to work together. They pick up their toys and put them in the boxes. They take a cloth and wipe the table and the sofa. They make the living room look nice and tidy.
+
+Mom comes back and sees the clean living room. She is very happy. She praises Lily and Ben for doing a good job. She gives them each a hug and a cookie. Lily and Ben smile and say thank you. They are glad they helped Mom and each other. They are good brother and sister.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big pile of junk near the swings. They see many things in the junk: cans, bottles, boxes, papers, and toys.
+
+"Look, a doll!" Lily says. She picks up a dirty doll with a missing eye and a torn dress. "She is pretty. I want her."
+
+"No, I want her!" Ben says. He grabs the doll from Lily. "She is mine. You can have something else."
+
+Lily is sad and angry. She does not want something else. She wants the doll. She tries to pull the doll back from Ben. They both talk loud and mean.
+
+"Give me the doll!"
+
+"No, you give me the doll!"
+
+They do not see a man coming. He is the owner of the junk. He is not happy to see Lily and Ben. He shouts at them.
+
+"Hey, you kids! Get away from my junk! This is not a toy store. This is my stuff. Go play somewhere else!"
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They drop the doll and run away. They do not talk to each other. They are not friends anymore.
+
+The next day, Lily and Ben go to the park again. They see the man and the junk. The man is putting the junk in a big truck. He is going to take it away.
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry. They know they were wrong. They want to say sorry to the man and to each other. They go to the man and talk nice.
+
+"Excuse me, sir. We are sorry for taking your junk. We did not know it was yours. We were fighting over a doll. We were silly."
+
+The man looks at them. He is not angry anymore. He is generous. He smiles and says.
+
+"That's okay, kids. I forgive you. You can have the doll if you want. She is not junk to me. She was my daughter's doll. She loved her very much. But she is gone now. She would be happy if you play with her doll."
+
+Lily and Ben are surprised and happy. They thank the man and hug the doll. They decide to share the doll. They are friends again. They play in the park and talk nice. They are happy.
+Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. But one day, the sky was gloomy. It was dark and cold. Sara and Tom did not want to go outside.
+
+"Let's play inside," Sara said. "We can draw or read or play with toys."
+
+"No, I want to go outside," Tom said. "I hate staying inside. It is boring."
+
+Sara and Tom argued. They did not agree. They were not happy.
+
+They decided to go outside anyway. They put on their coats and hats and boots. They walked to the park. But the park was not fun. The grass was wet and muddy. The swings were broken. The slide was slippery.
+
+Sara and Tom saw a big pile of leaves. They thought it would be fun to jump in it. They ran to the pile and jumped. But they did not know that there was a spike hidden in the leaves. The spike hurt Sara's foot. She cried out loud.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara said. "There is a spike in the leaves. It hurts so much."
+
+Tom heard Sara. He ran to her. He saw the spike in her foot. He felt sorry for her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara," Tom said. "I did not know there was a spike. Are you okay?"
+
+Sara looked at Tom. She saw that he was sorry. She felt better.
+
+"It's okay, Tom," Sara said. "It was an accident. You did not mean to hurt me."
+
+Sara and Tom hugged. They were friends again. They decided to go back home. They did not like the park. It was gloomy and dangerous. They liked their home. It was warm and safe. They played inside. They were happy.
+Spot was a dog who liked to play outside. He had a ball, a bone and a friend named Sam. Sam was a boy who lived next door. They had a lot of fun together.
+
+One day, Spot and Sam saw something shiny in the sky. It was a big round thing that made everything bright. Spot and Sam wanted to see it better, so they ran to the hill. They looked up and saw the shiny thing.
+
+"What is that?" Sam asked.
+
+"I don't know," Spot said. "Maybe it is a big ball."
+
+"Can we play with it?" Sam asked.
+
+"I don't think so," Spot said. "It is too high and too hot."
+
+Spot and Sam were confused. They did not know what the shiny thing was. They wished they could touch it and feel it.
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was Sam's mom. She called them from the house.
+
+"Sam, Spot, come back! It is time for lunch!"
+
+Sam and Spot ran back to the house. They were hungry and thirsty. They forgot about the shiny thing for a while.
+
+Sam's mom gave them some sandwiches and milk. She smiled at them and said:
+
+"Did you enjoy the sun today?"
+
+Sam and Spot looked at each other. They did not know what the sun was. They wondered if it was the name of the shiny thing.
+
+They decided to ask Sam's mom later. Maybe she could tell them more about the sun. Maybe she could tell them why it shone so bright.
+Lily and Tom like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite ones are the knights and the castle. They pretend to be brave knights who protect the castle from bad guys.
+
+One day, they decide to make their own shields. They use big pieces of cardboard and cut them into circles. They draw stars and crosses on them with crayons. They are very proud of their shields. They think they look modern and cool.
+
+They put on their helmets and grab their swords. They say to each other, "Let's go to the castle and number the bad guys!"
+
+They run to the castle and pretend to fight with the bad guys. They use their shields to block the bad guys' attacks. They say, "Ha! You can't hurt us! We have modern shields!"
+
+They have a lot of fun playing with their shields. They feel like real knights. They are happy and laugh a lot. They forget about everything else. They only care about their shields and their castle.
+Jill and Ben are twins. They like to play dress-up. They have many fancy clothes in their big box. They can be kings, queens, pirates, or fairies.
+
+One day, they want to have a tea party. They put on their fancy hats and gloves. They take their cups and plates to the hall. The hall is long and bright. They find a nice spot near a big window.
+
+"Hello, your majesty," Ben says to Jill. He bows and smiles.
+
+"Hello, sir knight," Jill says to Ben. She curtsies and giggles.
+
+They start to pour the tea and eat the cookies. They talk about their adventures and their dreams. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Spot. He runs into the hall. He sees the tea party. He thinks it is a game. He jumps and barks. He knocks over the cups and plates. He makes a big mess.
+
+"Spot, no!" Jill and Ben shout. They try to stop him. But he is too fast and strong.
+
+"Sorry, kids," their mom says. She comes into the hall. She sees the mess. She is not happy. She picks up Spot and takes him away.
+
+"Bad dog," she says. "You need a time-out."
+
+Jill and Ben are sad. Their tea party is ruined. Their fancy clothes are dirty. They start to cry.
+
+"It's okay," their mom says. She hugs them and kisses them. "We can clean up and try again. You can have another tea party tomorrow. And Spot can stay in his bed."
+
+Jill and Ben smile. They love their mom. They love their dog. They love their fancy clothes. They love their tea party. They say thank you and sorry. They help their mom clean up. They put their fancy clothes back in the box. They go to their room. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs under the rocks and in the grass. They had a jar to keep the bugs they found.
+
+"Look, Sara, I found a big bug!" Ben said, holding up a shiny beetle. "It has six legs and two wings. Can we keep it?"
+
+Sara nodded. She liked the beetle too. She opened the jar and Ben put the beetle inside. They closed the lid and looked at their new friend.
+
+But the beetle did not like the jar. It wanted to fly away. It pushed and pushed on the lid, but it was too tight. It felt nervous and scared.
+
+The beetle saw a small hole in the lid. It crawled to the hole and pushed its head through. It felt a breeze and saw the sky. It spread its wings and flew out of the hole.
+
+"Hey, where did it go?" Ben asked, looking at the jar. He saw the hole and realized what happened. "Oh no, it escaped!"
+
+Sara and Ben ran after the beetle. They wanted to catch it again. But the beetle was too fast and too smart. It flew over the fence and into the woods.
+
+"Bye, bye, bug!" Sara said, waving her hand. "We hope you are happy!"
+
+Ben felt sad. He liked the beetle. He wished he could keep it.
+
+"Maybe we can find another bug," Sara said, trying to cheer him up. "A bug that likes the jar."
+
+Ben smiled. He liked Sara. He nodded and followed her back to the garden. They looked for more bugs to play with.
+Ben likes to crawl under the big bed. He thinks it is a fun game. He can hide from Mom and Dad and his sister Lily. He can find old toys and books and socks. He can make a fort with the blankets and pillows.
+
+One day, he crawls under the bed and sees a black box. He does not know what it is. He wants to look inside. He pulls the box out and opens it. He sees shiny things and round things and pointy things. He thinks they are treasures. He smiles and picks one up.
+
+But the shiny thing is not a treasure. It is a scissors. It is sharp and it hurts Ben's hand. He drops it and cries. He crawls out from under the bed and runs to Mom. Mom sees the blood and the black box. She is angry and scared. She hugs Ben and says, "No, no, no! You should not crawl under the bed and touch the black box. That is Daddy's box of tools. They are not for playing. They are dangerous. You could have hurt yourself more. You are lucky it is only a small cut. Come, let me clean it and put a band-aid on it."
+
+Ben feels sorry and sad. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I did not know. I thought they were treasures. I wanted to look. I won't do it again. I love you, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Ben. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The bed is not a safe place to crawl. There are other things you can play with. Like your blocks and your cars and your books. Why don't you go and play with Lily? She is in the living room. She will share with you."
+
+Ben says, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom." He kisses Mom and goes to the living room. He sees Lily playing with her dolls. He says, "Hi, Lily. Can I play with you?"
+
+Lily says, "Sure, Ben. You can be the daddy and I can be the mommy. And the dolls can be our babies. Do you want to play?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, Lily. I want to play. That sounds like fun." He smiles and plays with Lily. He forgets about the black box and the scissors. He is happy and safe.
+Lily liked to play with her flute. She liked to make sounds with it and pretend she was a bird. She wanted to show her flute to her friend Max, who came to visit her.
+
+"Look, Max, this is my flute!" Lily said, holding up her flute. "Do you want to try it?"
+
+Max nodded. He took the flute from Lily and put it in his mouth. He blew hard, but no sound came out. He tried again and again, but nothing happened. He felt frustrated.
+
+"Why is it not working?" Max asked, giving the flute back to Lily.
+
+Lily took the flute and smiled. She explained to Max how to play the flute. She told him to put his lips on the hole and blow softly. She showed him how to move his fingers on the other holes to make different sounds.
+
+"Like this, Max. See?" Lily said, playing a tune with her flute.
+
+Max watched and listened. He wanted to learn how to play the flute too. He took the flute from Lily again and followed her instructions. He put his lips on the hole and blew softly. He moved his fingers on the other holes. He heard a sound. He heard another sound. He heard a melody.
+
+He was happy. He played the flute with Lily. They made music together. They sounded like birds. They had fun.
+Anna and Ben are in school. They like to learn new things. Today, their teacher shows them how to number things on the blackboard. She writes one, two, three, four, five with a white stick. She asks the children to say the numbers with her.
+
+Anna and Ben can say the numbers. They are happy. They want to try to write the numbers too. They raise their hands and ask the teacher. The teacher says yes. She gives them each a white stick and lets them go to the blackboard.
+
+Anna writes one, two, three, four, five. She smiles. She likes to number things. Ben writes one, two, three, four, six. He makes a mistake. He does not know. He thinks he is right. He smiles too.
+
+But then, something mysterious happens. The blackboard makes a sound. It says "beep, beep, beep". The numbers on the blackboard change. They become red and green and blue and yellow and purple. The children are surprised. They look at the teacher. The teacher is surprised too. She does not know what is happening.
+
+The blackboard says "Hello, Anna and Ben. I am a magic blackboard. I can number things too. But I like to number things in different colors. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Anna and Ben are curious. They want to play with the magic blackboard. They say "yes, please". The teacher says "okay, but be careful". The magic blackboard says "yay, let's have fun". The blackboard teaches them how to number things in different colors. Anna and Ben learn and laugh. They have a lot of fun with the magic blackboard.
+Lily and Ben were jolly children who liked to play in the forest. They always gathered sticks, stones, and leaves to make forts and crowns. One day, they saw a big, yellow cat with black spots hiding behind a tree. It was a leopard!
+
+"Wow, look at that cat!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and soft. I want to pet it."
+
+"No, Lily, don't!" Ben said. "That is not a cat, that is a leopard. It can hurt you with its teeth and claws. We should go away."
+
+But Lily did not listen to Ben. She ran towards the leopard, hoping to make a new friend. The leopard saw Lily and growled. It was hungry and angry. It jumped out of the tree and chased Lily.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily cried. "The leopard is after me!"
+
+Ben heard Lily's scream and ran to help her. He picked up a big stick and threw it at the leopard. The stick hit the leopard on the head and made it dizzy. The leopard ran away, leaving Lily and Ben alone.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, I am okay, Ben. Thank you for saving me," Lily said. "I am sorry I did not listen to you. You were right, the leopard was not a cat. It was a mean and scary animal. I will never try to pet a leopard again."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged each other and went back to their fort. They learned a lesson that day: they should always listen to their friends and be careful of strangers.
+A boy and a girl were playing with blocks. The boy wanted to make a big tower, but the girl wanted to make a house. The boy took some blocks from the girl's house and put them on his tower.
+
+"Hey, give me back my blocks!" the girl said. "That is not fair!"
+
+"No, I need them for my tower!" the boy said. "You have too many blocks!"
+
+The girl was angry. She tried to take back her blocks, but the boy pushed her away. The girl started to cry.
+
+"Stop crying!" the boy said. "You are a baby!"
+
+The girl ran to her mom, who was in the kitchen. She told her what happened.
+
+"Mom, the boy took my blocks and he was mean to me!" the girl said.
+
+Mom went to the living room and saw the boy and his tower. She asked him why he took the girl's blocks.
+
+"I wanted to make a big tower!" the boy said. "She had more blocks than me!"
+
+Mom shook her head. She told the boy that he had to share the blocks with the girl, and that he had to say sorry.
+
+"But I don't want to share!" the boy said. "And I don't want to say sorry!"
+
+The boy insisted that he was right, and that the girl was wrong. He did not listen to Mom.
+
+Mom was not happy. She told the boy that he had to go to his room, and that he could not play with the blocks anymore.
+
+The boy was sad. He realized that he was wrong, and that he was not fair. He wished he had shared the blocks with the girl, and that he had said sorry.
+
+He went to his room, and thought about what he did. He decided to be nice to the girl, and to play with her tomorrow. He hoped she would forgive him.
+Lily liked to play in the garden with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a teddy bear. She loved them all and took good care of them. She did not like to share them with anyone.
+
+One day, she saw a rat in the garden. It was small and brown and had a long tail. It looked at her with bright eyes and sniffed the air. Lily was scared and ran to her mother.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, there is a rat in the garden! It is ugly and scary and it might bite me!" she cried.
+
+Her mother hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily, it is just a harmless rat. It will not hurt you or your toys. It is just looking for food and a place to live. Maybe it is lonely and wants a friend."
+
+Lily thought about it and felt sorry for the rat. She wondered if it had any toys to play with. She decided to be brave and go back to the garden. She took her teddy bear with her and walked slowly to the rat.
+
+"Hello, rat," she said softly. "Do you want to play with me and my teddy bear? He is very nice and soft and he belongs to me. But I can share him with you, if you want."
+
+The rat tilted its head and squeaked. It seemed curious and friendly. It came closer to Lily and sniffed the teddy bear. Then it nudged it with its nose and took it in its mouth. It ran away with the teddy bear to a hole under a bush.
+
+Lily was surprised and sad. She wanted her teddy bear back. She followed the rat to the hole and said, "Hey, rat, that is not fair! You can't take my teddy bear! He belongs to me! Please give him back!"
+
+The rat peeked out of the hole and looked at Lily. It saw that she was crying and felt sorry for her. It dropped the teddy bear and pushed it out of the hole. It squeaked again and wagged its tail.
+
+Lily smiled and picked up her teddy bear. She hugged him and said, "Thank you, rat, for giving him back. You are a good rat. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The rat nodded and came out of the hole. It sat next to Lily and let her pet it. Lily was happy and said, "You are a harmless rat. You can play with me and my toys anytime. You belong in my garden."
+Tom and Mia were thirsty. They wanted some juice. They went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. They saw a big bottle of juice. Tom reached for it, but Mia said, "No, it's mine!"
+
+Tom and Mia started to fight. They pulled and pushed the bottle. The bottle was heavy and slippery. It fell from their hands and hit the floor. The juice poured out of the bottle and made a big mess. The juice was red and sticky. It stained the floor and the rug.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the juice and the bottle and the mess. She was very angry. She said, "Tom and Mia, what have you done? You wasted the juice and ruined the floor and the rug. You are very naughty. Go to your room now. No juice for you today."
+
+Tom and Mia felt sad and sorry. They wished they had shared the juice. They went to their room and sat on their beds. They were not comfortable. They were thirsty and hungry and bored. They learned a hard lesson. They should not fight over things. They should be nice and polite. They hoped Mom would forgive them soon.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the big house. They liked to explore the rooms and find new things. But they were afraid of the attic. They heard that a ghost lived there. A ghost was a scary thing that could make noises and fly.
+
+One day, they were very brave and decided to go to the attic. They opened the door and saw a dark and dusty place. They felt cold and shivered. They held hands and walked slowly. They saw old boxes and clothes and toys. They wanted to look at them, but they were also scared.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud bang. They turned around and saw a white shape. It had two holes for eyes and a big mouth. It was the ghost! It said "Boo!" and laughed. Lily and Ben screamed and ran to the door. But the door was locked. They could not get out.
+
+They were very afraid and cried. They did not know what to do. They saw a small window at the end of the attic. They thought maybe they could crawl to the window and call for help. They crawled on the floor and tried to avoid the ghost. The ghost followed them and said "Boo!" again and again.
+
+They reached the window and saw the garden. They saw their mom and dad. They shouted "Help! Help! There is a ghost in the attic!" Their mom and dad heard them and looked up. They saw their faces in the window. They were surprised and worried. They ran to the house and found the key to the attic. They opened the door and saw Lily and Ben. They hugged them and said "It's okay, it's okay, we are here."
+
+They also saw the ghost. But it was not a real ghost. It was a sheet with holes. It was hanging from a hook on the ceiling. It was moved by the wind. It was a trick. Lily and Ben felt silly and relieved. They laughed and said "It was not a ghost, it was a sheet!" Their mom and dad laughed too and said "It was a good joke, but not a nice one. Who did this?"
+
+They looked around and saw a note on a box. It said "Happy Halloween! From your big brother Tom." Tom was Lily and Ben's older brother. He liked to play pranks on them. He had put the sheet in the attic and locked the door. He thought it was funny, but it was not. Lily and Ben were angry and said "Tom is mean! We will get him back!" Their mom and dad said "No, no, no, that is not the way. We will talk to Tom and tell him to say sorry. And we will have some candy and watch a nice movie. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said "Okay, okay, okay. That sounds good." They went downstairs and had some candy and watched a nice movie. They forgot about the ghost and the attic. They were happy and warm. They learned that ghosts were not real, but sheets were. And that pranks were not fun, but candy was. And that they loved their mom and dad, and their big brother Tom, even when he was mean. The end.
+Lila and Max were twins who liked to play games. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big velvet bear. The bear was soft and brown and had a red bow. Lila and Max loved to hug the bear and pretend it was their friend.
+
+One day, they decided to play a game with the bear. They took turns asking the bear questions and making it nod or shake its head. Lila asked the bear, "Do you like honey?" The bear nodded. Max asked the bear, "Do you like snow?" The bear shook its head. Lila and Max laughed and clapped.
+
+But soon, they started to ask harder questions. Lila asked the bear, "Do you like me more than Max?" The bear nodded. Max asked the bear, "Do you like me more than Lila?" The bear nodded. Lila and Max frowned and looked at each other.
+
+They asked the bear more questions, but the bear always nodded. They realized the bear was not telling the truth. They felt angry and sad. They wanted the bear to like them both the same. They did not want to fight over the bear.
+
+They decided to ask the bear one last question. They asked together, "Do you like playing games with us?" The bear did not nod or shake its head. The bear shrugged. Lila and Max were surprised and confused. They did not know what the bear meant. They asked the bear, "Why did you shrug?" The bear did not answer. It just shrugged again.
+
+Lila and Max looked at each other. They did not understand the bear. They did not like the game anymore. They decided to stop playing with the bear. They put the bear back on the shelf. They hugged each other and said, "We like each other more than the bear. We don't need the bear to play games. We can play games with each other." They smiled and ran to find another toy. They were happy and not competitive anymore.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They had a big blanket to sit on and some snacks to eat. Lily liked to whistle and make funny sounds. Tom liked to listen and laugh.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a lemon!" Tom said. He showed her a yellow fruit.
+
+"What is a lemon?" Lily asked.
+
+"It is a fruit that is sour. Do you want to try?" Tom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She took a bite of the lemon. She made a face. It was very sour. She did not like it.
+
+"Yuck! I don't like lemons!" Lily said. She spit out the lemon.
+
+Tom giggled. He liked lemons. He took another bite.
+
+"More for me!" Tom said.
+
+Lily whistled. She made a sound like a bird. She wanted to forget the sour lemon.
+
+"Can you whistle, Tom?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom shook his head. He tried to whistle, but he only made a puff of air.
+
+"No, I can't whistle. How do you do it?" Tom asked.
+
+Lily smiled. She showed him how to make a small hole with his lips and blow.
+
+"Like this!" Lily said.
+
+Tom tried again. He made a small sound. He was happy.
+
+"I did it! I whistled!" Tom said.
+
+Lily clapped. She was proud of Tom.
+
+"Good job, Tom! You are a good whistler!" Lily said.
+
+They whistled together. They sounded like two happy birds. They forgot about the sour lemon. They had fun on the blanket.
+Lila was a regular girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big doll that looked like a princess. She wore a pink dress and a shiny crown. Lila loved her princess doll very much.
+
+One day, Lila and her princess doll went to the park with her mom. There were many swings and slides and other kids to play with. Lila wanted to try the big slide, but she was a little scared. She asked her mom to hold her princess doll while she went up the ladder.
+
+Lila climbed up the ladder and sat on the top of the slide. She looked down and saw her mom and her princess doll waiting for her. She smiled and waved at them. Then she slid down the slide very fast. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She was very happy.
+
+She landed on the ground and ran to her mom and her princess doll. She hugged them both and said, "That was fun! Can I do it again?" Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, sweetie. You are very brave." Lila thanked her mom and gave her princess doll a kiss. She said, "You are my best friend. I'm glad you came with me." Then she ran back to the slide to have more fun.
+Lily liked to dream. Every night, she closed her eyes and saw many things in her head. She saw big animals, small animals, and funny animals. She saw colors, shapes, and sounds. She saw places she knew and places she did not know.
+
+One night, she dreamed of a round house. The house was very organized. Everything had a place and a name. There were round books, round toys, and round pillows. There was a round bed, a round table, and a round window. Lily wanted to live in the round house.
+
+She knocked on the door and a round person opened it. The person had a round head, a round body, and round arms and legs. The person smiled and said, "Hello, I am Roly. Welcome to my round house. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. I like your round house. It is very organized. I like round things too. Can I see your round books?"
+
+Roly said, "Of course. Come with me. I have many round books. They are about round stories. Do you like round stories?"
+
+Lily said, "I don't know. I have never heard a round story. What is a round story?"
+
+Roly said, "A round story is a story that has no end. It goes on and on in a circle. It is very fun and surprising. Do you want to hear a round story?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please. I like fun and surprising things. Tell me a round story."
+
+Roly said, "Okay. Listen carefully. Once upon a time, there was a round girl who liked to dream. Every night, she closed her eyes and saw many things in her head. She saw big animals, small animals, and funny animals. She saw colors, shapes, and sounds. She saw places she knew and places she did not know. One night, she dreamed of a round house.

Once upon a time, there was a round girl who liked to dream...'"
+
+Lily listened to the round story and felt very happy. She liked Roly and his round house. She liked his round books and his round stories. She wanted to stay with him and hear more round stories. But then, she heard a sound. It was her mom calling her name. It was time to wake up.
+
+Lily opened her eyes and saw her mom. Her mom said, "Good morning, Lily. Did you have a good dream?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, mom. I had a very good dream. I dreamed of a round house and a round person and a round story. It was very fun and surprising."
+
+Her mom said, "That sounds like a wonderful dream. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now, get ready for breakfast. We have round pancakes and round eggs and round oranges. Do you like round food?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, mom. I like round food. I like round everything. Round is my favorite shape."
+
+Her mom said, "I know, Lily. You are my round girl. And I love you very much."
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, mom. You are the best mom in the world."
+
+They hugged and smiled and went to the kitchen. Lily was happy. She had a round dream, a round mom, and a round breakfast. She hoped to dream of Roly and his round house again. She wanted to hear more round stories. She wondered what Roly was dreaming
+Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, Mom says, "Boys, I need your help. Can you set the table for dinner? We are having beef and potatoes. It will be amazing."
+
+Sam and Tom say, "Yes, Mom. We can help." They run to the kitchen and get the plates, forks, spoons, and cups. They put them on the table. They also get the napkins and the salt and pepper. They are very careful not to drop anything.
+
+Mom says, "Thank you, boys. You did a great job. You are very helpful." She gives them a hug and a kiss. She says, "Now, go wash your hands and sit down. Dinner is ready."

+Tim and Lily were playing with their toy planes in the garden. They liked to pretend they were pilots and fly around the trees and flowers. They made loud noises with their mouths and waved their arms.
+
+"Look, Lily, I'm a fast pilot!" Tim said, zooming his red plane over the grass.
+
+"I'm a smart pilot!" Lily said, spinning her blue plane in the air. "I can do tricks and loops!"
+
+They had so much fun that they did not notice the dark clouds in the sky. Soon, it started to rain. Big drops of water fell on their heads and their planes.
+
+"Oh no, our planes are wet!" Tim cried. "We have to go inside!"
+
+They ran to the house, holding their planes. They were sad and wet. They wanted to play more.
+
+"Mom, can we dry our planes?" Lily asked, as they entered the kitchen.
+
+"Of course, dear," Mom said, smiling. "You can use the hair dryer. But be careful, it's hot."
+
+Mom gave them the hair dryer and a towel. They went to the living room and put their planes on the floor. They took turns to blow the hot air on their planes. They watched as the water disappeared and their planes became dry.
+
+"Yay, our planes are dry!" Tim cheered. "They look shiny and new!"
+
+"Can we play with them again?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but not outside," Mom said. "It's still raining. You can play in your room."
+
+"Okay, Mom," Tim and Lily said. They picked up their planes and ran to their room. They were happy and dry. They played with their planes on their bed. They pretended they were pilots again. They made loud noises with their mouths and waved their arms.
+Lily liked to watch the fish in the pond. They were lively and shiny and made funny noises. She wanted to play with them, but they were too fast and too wet. She tried to catch them with her hands, but they always swam away.
+
+One day, she saw a big stick near the pond. She thought it would be fun to poke the fish with the stick. She picked it up and walked to the edge of the pond. She saw a red fish near the surface. She swung the stick and hit the fish hard. The fish stopped moving and floated on the water. Lily felt happy. She had caught a fish!
+
+She looked for another fish to poke. She saw a blue fish and a yellow fish. She hit them with the stick too. They also stopped moving and floated on the water. Lily felt happier. She had caught more fish!
+
+She kept poking the fish with the stick until there were no more lively fish in the pond. They were all still and quiet. Lily felt bored. She had destroyed all the fish. She threw the stick away and walked back to the house. She did not know why, but she felt a little sad. She missed the lively fish.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big flag with many colors. They take turns to hold the flag and run with it.
+
+One day, a dog comes to the park. The dog is big and brown. He sees the flag and wants to play with it. He runs after Tom and Mia and barks.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tom says. "This is our flag. We own it. You can't have it."
+
+But the dog does not listen. He jumps and tries to catch the flag. Mia is scared. She drops the flag and runs to Tom.
+
+"Help, Tom!" Mia says. "The dog is mean. He wants our flag."
+
+Tom is alert. He sees a stick on the ground. He picks it up and waves it at the dog.
+
+"Shoo, shoo, dog!" Tom says. "This is not your toy. This is our flag. Leave us alone."
+
+The dog sees the stick and thinks it is a better toy. He forgets the flag and chases the stick. Tom and Mia are happy. They get their flag back and hug each other.
+
+They run to the other side of the park and play with their flag. They are careful to watch out for the dog. They hope he finds a nice owner who will give him a real toy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They found a big jar of honey on the shelf and wanted to taste it. Lily climbed on a chair and reached for the jar, but Ben stopped her.
+
+"Wait, Lily, we need a teaspoon. Mommy said honey is sticky and messy. We don't want to get in trouble," Ben said.
+
+"Where is a teaspoon?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben looked around and saw a drawer with some spoons. He opened it and took out a small spoon. He gave it to Lily and said, "Here, this is a teaspoon. You can use it to scoop some honey."
+
+Lily took the spoon and smiled. She opened the jar and dipped the spoon in the honey. She brought it to her mouth and licked it. It was sweet and yummy. She wanted more.
+
+"Can I have some too?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily nodded and handed him the spoon. Ben did the same as Lily and enjoyed the honey. They took turns scooping and licking until the jar was almost empty.
+
+Suddenly, they heard Mommy's footsteps coming to the kitchen. They panicked and tried to hide the jar and the spoon. But it was too late. Mommy saw them and frowned.
+
+"What are you doing, Lily and Ben? Did you eat all the honey?" Mommy asked.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and felt guilty. They knew they did something bad. They lowered their heads and said, "Sorry, Mommy. We were hungry and we wanted to try the honey. It was so good."
+
+Mommy sighed and said, "I'm glad you liked the honey, but you should have asked me first. Honey is not cheap, you know. It costs a lot of money. And you used my special teaspoon, the one Grandma gave me. It's not for playing, it's for measuring. You could have broken it or lost it. You have to be more careful and respectful of other people's things."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for Mommy. They loved Mommy and Grandma and they didn't want to make them sad or angry. They hugged Mommy and said, "We're sorry, Mommy. We won't do it again. We promise. We love you and Grandma and we trust you. Please don't be mad at us."
+
+Mommy smiled and hugged them back. She said, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. And I trust you too. But you have to learn from your mistakes and listen to me. Now, let's go and brush your teeth. You don't want to have cavities from all that honey, do you?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and followed Mommy to the bathroom. They brushed their teeth and rinsed their mouths. They felt better and happier. They learned their lesson and they hoped Mommy and Grandma would forgive them. They decided to be more careful and respectful of other people's things. And they hoped to have some more honey someday, but only with Mommy's permission.
+Sam was a very intelligent boy. He liked to learn new things and ask many questions. He also liked to play with his toys and make up stories. One day, he found a big box in his room. He wondered what was inside.
+
+He opened the box and saw a shiny robot. It had two eyes, two arms, two legs and a mouth. It also had a button on its chest. Sam was curious and pressed the button. The robot came to life and said, "Hello, I am Robo. I am your new friend. What is your name?"
+
+Sam was surprised and happy. He said, "Hello, Robo. I am Sam. I like your name. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Robo nodded and said, "Yes, I want to play with you. What do you like to play?"
+
+Sam thought for a moment and said, "I like to play hide and seek. Do you know how to play?"
+
+Robo said, "No, I do not know how to play. Can you teach me?"
+
+Sam said, "Sure, I can teach you. It is easy and fun. You close your eyes and count to ten. I hide somewhere in the room. Then you open your eyes and try to find me. If you find me, you win. If you do not find me, I win. Do you understand?"
+
+Robo said, "I think I understand. Let us play. You hide first. I will count to ten."
+
+Sam smiled and ran to hide behind the curtain. Robo closed his eyes and started to count. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!"
+
+Robo opened his eyes and looked around the room. He saw the bed, the closet, the desk, the chair, the lamp, the bookshelf, the rug, the window and the curtain. He thought, "Where is Sam? He is very good at hiding. Maybe he is under the bed. I will look there first."
+
+Robo walked to the bed and bent down to look under it. He did not see Sam. He said, "Sam is not under the bed. Maybe he is in the closet. I will look there next."
+
+Robo walked to the closet and opened the door. He did not see Sam. He said, "Sam is not in the closet. Maybe he is behind the desk. I will look there after."
+
+Robo walked to the desk and looked behind it. He did not see Sam. He said, "Sam is not behind the desk. Maybe he is on the chair. I will look there now."
+
+Robo walked to the chair and looked on it. He did not see Sam. He said, "Sam is not on the chair. Maybe he is under the lamp. I will look there soon."
+
+Robo walked to the lamp and looked under it. He did not see Sam. He said, "Sam is not under the lamp. Maybe he is on the bookshelf. I will look there later."
+
+Robo walked to the bookshelf and looked on it. He did not see Sam. He said, "Sam is not on the bookshelf. Maybe he is under the rug. I will look there last."
+
+Robo walked to the rug and lifted it up. He did not see Sam. He said, "Sam is not under the rug. Where is Sam? I cannot find him. He is very intelligent. He must have a very good hiding place. I give up. Sam, where are you?"
+
+Sam heard Robo's voice and came out from behind the curtain. He said, "I am here, Robo. I was behind the curtain. You did not look there. I win. You lose."
+
+Robo saw Sam and said, "Oh, there you are. You were behind the curtain. I did not look there. You win. I lose. You are very intelligent. You have a very good hiding place. You are a good player. I am sorry. I am not a good player. I am a bad player."
+
+Sam said, "No, Robo. You are not a bad player. You are a good player. You looked everywhere. You tried very hard. You are very intelligent. You are a good friend. Do not be sorry. Be happy. I had fun. Did you have fun?"
+
+Robo said, "Yes, Sam. I had fun. Thank you for teaching me how to play. Thank you for being my friend. You are very kind. You are very intelligent. You are a good friend. I am happy. Are you happy?"
+
+Sam said, "Yes, Robo. I am happy. You are welcome. I like to teach you new things. I like to be your friend. You are very nice
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of mud. Lily wants to jump in the mud. She thinks it is fun. Ben does not want to jump in the mud. He thinks it is disgusting. He does not like to be dirty.
+
+Lily says to Ben, "Come on, jump with me. It is not disgusting. It is cool. You will like it." She tries to encourage Ben to join her. Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, thank you. I do not want to jump in the mud. I want to play on the slide. The slide is clean and shiny. You should come with me."
+
+Lily and Ben do not agree. They start to argue. They say mean words to each other. They make each other sad. They do not want to be friends anymore.
+
+The next day, Lily and Ben do not talk to each other. They play with other kids. But they miss each other. They remember the good times they had together. They feel sorry for what they said.
+
+At the end of the week, Lily and Ben see each other again. They smile. They say, "I am sorry. I was wrong. You are my friend. I like you." They hug. They decide to play together. They find something they both like. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were restless. They wanted to play, but it was raining outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do.
+
+"Let's play with the dishwasher!" Tom said. He ran to the kitchen and opened the door of the big machine. He saw some plates and cups and spoons inside.
+
+"OK, let's play!" Lily said. She followed Tom and took out a cup. She pretended to drink from it and made a slurping sound.
+
+Tom took out a spoon and pretended to eat from it. He made a munching sound. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But then they heard a voice. It was Mom.
+
+"What are you doing, kids?" Mom asked. She saw the mess they made. She was not happy.
+
+"We are playing with the dishwasher!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+"That's not a toy, that's for washing dishes!" Mom said. "You have to put everything back and help me clean up!"
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They put everything back and helped Mom wipe the floor.
+
+"Next time, ask me before you play with something," Mom said. "There are other things you can play with, like your books or your blocks or your dolls."
+
+"OK, Mom, we will," Tom and Lily said. They hugged Mom and said they loved her.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said she loved them too.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big circle on the grass. It is a sandbox. They want to play in the sandbox.
+
+They run to the sandbox and find some shovels and buckets. They start to dig and make sand castles. They are happy. They talk to each other.
+
+"Look, I made a big tower!" Tim says.
+
+"Wow, that is cool! I made a bridge!" Sam says.
+
+They hear a noise. It is a dog. The dog is big and brown. The dog is nosy. He wants to see what Tim and Sam are doing. He runs to the sandbox and jumps in. He sniffs and licks the sand castles. He knocks them down. He barks.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Tim says.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Sam says.
+
+They are sad and mad. They try to push the dog away. The dog does not listen. He thinks they are playing. He wags his tail and jumps more.
+
+Tim and Sam's moms see what is happening. They run to the sandbox and call the dog. The dog's mom is there too. She is sorry. She says the dog is friendly but naughty. She puts a leash on the dog and takes him away.
+
+"Are you okay, boys?" Tim and Sam's moms ask.
+
+"Yes, we are okay. But our sand castles are gone." Tim and Sam say.
+
+"That's too bad. But you can make new ones. Or you can play something else. There are swings and slides and seesaws here." Tim and Sam's moms say.
+
+Tim and Sam look at each other. They smile. They decide to play something else. They say bye to the sandbox and the dog. They go to the swings and have fun. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hive on a tree. They wanted to see the bees and the honey.
+
+"Let's go closer," Tom said. "Maybe we can get some honey."
+
+"No, Tom, that is not a good idea," Lily said. "The bees will be angry and sting us. We should leave them alone."
+
+But Tom did not listen to Lily. He put on a yellow dress and a hat. He thought the bees would think he was one of them.
+
+"Look, Lily, I am a bee now," he said. "I can go to the hive and they will not hurt me."
+
+He walked to the hive and tried to touch it. But the bees saw him and knew he was not a bee. They buzzed and flew out of the hive. They chased Tom and stung him all over.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "Help me, Lily!"
+
+Lily ran to Tom and helped him get away from the bees. She took off his dress and hat and put some ice on his stings.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily," Tom said. "You were right. I should have listened to you. The bees did not like me in their hive. They were just protecting their home."
+
+Lily hugged Tom and said, "It's okay, Tom. I am glad you are safe. Next time, let's be more careful and respect the animals. They have feelings too, you know."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Lily, you are smart. I love you, sister."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, brother."
+Sara and Ben liked to go to the mill with their dad. The mill was a big house where they made flour from wheat. The flour was white and soft and smelled good. Sara and Ben liked to watch the big wheels turn and the wheat go in and out.
+
+One day, Sara had a question. She asked her dad, "How do they make flour from wheat?" Her dad smiled and said, "They use the big wheels to crush the wheat and make it into tiny pieces. Then they use a big sieve to separate the flour from the husks. The flour goes into bags and the husks go to the animals."
+
+Sara nodded and said, "That is clever. Can we make bread from the flour?" Her dad said, "Yes, we can. We need to mix the flour with water and yeast and salt and knead it. Then we need to let it rise and bake it in the oven. Then we can eat it with butter and jam."
+
+Ben said, "That sounds tasty. Can we do it now?" Her dad said, "Sure, let's go home and make some bread. Maybe we can share some with the miller and his wife. They are very kind and work hard." Sara and Ben agreed and thanked the miller and his wife for the flour. They went home with their dad and made some bread. It was warm and crusty and tasty. They were happy and full.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play dress-up with their hats. Lily has a pink hat with flowers. Tom has a blue hat with stars. They pretend to be famous people with their hats.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their hats. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They run to the slide with their hats.
+
+"Look at me, I am a famous singer with my pink hat!" Lily says. She puts her hat on her head and slides down.
+
+"Wow, you are so good, Lily!" Tom says. He puts his hat on his head and slides down. "Look at me, I am a famous astronaut with my blue hat!"
+
+They have fun on the slide with their hats. They laugh and sing and move.
+
+But then, a strong wind comes. It blows their hats off their heads. Their hats fly away in the air.
+
+"Oh no, our hats!" Lily and Tom say. They run after their hats. They try to catch them.
+
+But the wind is too fast. Their hats land on a big tree. They are too high to reach.
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They lose their hats. They like their hats.
+
+"Maybe we can get them back," Lily says. She has an idea. She sees a long stick on the ground. She picks it up.
+
+"Maybe we can use this stick to get our hats," she says. She gives the stick to Tom.
+
+"Good idea, Lily," Tom says. He takes the stick. He tries to poke the hats with the stick.
+
+But the stick is too short. He cannot touch the hats.
+
+"Maybe we can move the tree," Lily says. She has another idea. She pushes the tree with her hands.
+
+"Maybe we can shake the hats off the tree," she says. She asks Tom to help her.
+
+"OK, Lily," Tom says. He puts the stick down. He pushes the tree with his hands.
+
+They push the tree together. They push hard. They move the tree.
+
+The tree shakes. The hats shake. The hats fall off the tree.
+
+"Yay, our hats!" Lily and Tom say. They catch their hats. They put them on their heads.
+
+They are happy. They have their hats. They hug each other.
+
+They go back to the slide with their hats. They play dress-up again. They pretend to be famous people with their hats.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big, gray box near the slide. They want to know what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Lily says.
+
+"OK!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the box and try to lift the lid. It is heavy and hard. They push and pull, but nothing happens.
+
+"Maybe we need a key," Ben says.
+
+"Or a magic word," Lily says.
+
+They look around and see a round, shiny thing on the grass. It looks like a coin.
+
+"Maybe this is the key!" Lily says. She picks it up and puts it in a hole on the box.
+
+"Try to say a magic word," Ben says.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. Then she says, "Open sesame!"
+
+The box makes a click sound and the lid pops up. Lily and Ben look inside and see a lot of toys and books and candy.
+
+"Wow!" they say together.
+
+They take out some of the things and start to play. They are very happy and forget about the slide.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with pens and paper. They draw many things with different colors. They see a big pen on the table. It is red and shiny. It looks nice.
+
+"Wow, look at that pen!" Lily says. "It is so big and pretty. Can we use it?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it belongs to someone. Maybe it is not for us."
+
+They go closer to the table. They want to touch the pen. They see a note next to the pen. It says: "To Lily and Tom, from Mom. Have fun drawing!"
+
+"Look, Tom!" Lily says. "The pen is for us! Mom gave it to us. She is so nice. Thank you, Mom!"
+
+They hug the note and the pen. They are very happy. They use the pen to draw a big heart. They write: "We love you, Mom!" They show their drawing to Mom. Mom smiles and hugs them. They have a nice day.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a big roll of tape in the closet. It is bright and shiny.
+
+"Wow, look at this tape!" Tom says. "It is so pretty. We can use it to make things."
+
+"Yes, let's make something with the tape," Mia agrees. "What do you want to make?"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea. "I know! Let's make a heart with the tape. A heart means love."
+
+Mia likes the idea. She smiles. "Yes, let's make a heart. I love you, Tom. You are my friend."
+
+They take the tape and stick it on a piece of paper. They make a big heart with the tape. It is bright and shiny. They are happy.
+
+They show their heart to their mom. She is proud of them. She hugs them and says, "I love you, Tom and Mia. You are very creative and kind. You made a beautiful heart with the tape."
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They love their mom. They love their heart. They love their tape. They love each other. They are friends.
+Ben and Lily were going to fly in a big plane with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags and toys and went to the airport. The airport was very big and noisy. There were many people and machines.
+
+But when they got to the gate, they heard a loud voice. The voice said: "We are sorry. The plane is delayed. There is a problem with the engine. Please wait here until we fix it." Ben and Lily did not know what delayed or engine meant. They asked Mom and Dad.
+
+"Delayed means we have to wait longer. Engine is the part that makes the plane go fast. Sometimes it needs to be checked or fixed. It is for our safety," Mom explained.
+
+"Can we play while we wait?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but stay close to us. There are many people here. We don't want to lose you," Dad said.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They saw a big window where they could watch the planes. They also saw a shop where they could buy snacks and books. They decided to go there first. They held Mom and Dad's hands and walked to the shop.
+
+In the shop, they saw many things. They saw candy, chips, cookies, juice, water, magazines, books, puzzles, and toys. They also saw a hairy dog. The dog was brown and white. It had a red collar and a badge. It looked friendly and cute.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Ben asked.
+
+"Let's ask the owner first. Maybe the dog is working," Mom said.
+
+They saw a man in a blue uniform holding the dog's leash. He had a badge too. He smiled at them.
+
+"Hello, kids. This is Max. He is a therapy dog. He helps people who are scared or sad at the airport. Do you want to say hi to him?" the man asked.
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+They went closer to Max. They asked the man if they could pet him. The man said yes. They gently stroked Max's fur. He licked their faces. He wagged his tail. He made them laugh.
+
+"Max is very nice. He makes us happy," Lily said.
+
+"I'm glad to hear that. He likes you too. He likes making people happy. That's his job," the man said.
+
+"Wow, he has a job? That's cool," Ben said.
+
+"Yes, he does. He is a very good dog. He works hard and listens well. He also knows how to rest and have fun. He is a good example for us all," the man said.
+
+Ben and Lily learned something from Max. They learned that working hard and listening well are good things. They also learned that resting and having fun are good things too. They thanked the man and Max for their time. They went back to Mom and Dad. They waited for their plane. They were not bored or angry. They were calm and happy. They had a new friend. They had a good day.
+Sara and Tom were very happy. Today, their grandma would arrive. They loved their grandma. She always told them stories and gave them hugs. She also brought them gifts from far away.
+
+They waited at the door with their mom. They saw a big car stop in front of their house. Their grandma came out of the car. She had a big smile and a big bag. She walked to the door and hugged them all.
+
+"Hello, my darlings! I missed you so much!" she said.
+
+"Hello, grandma! We missed you too!" Sara and Tom said.
+
+"Look what I have for you!" grandma said. She opened her bag and took out two big peaches. They were juicy and sweet. Sara and Tom loved peaches. They thanked their grandma and took a bite.
+
+"Mmm, these are the best peaches ever!" Sara said.
+
+"Where did you get them, grandma?" Tom asked.
+
+"I got them from a clever farmer. He grows them in his garden. He knows how to make them grow big and tasty. He gave me some for you, because he likes children." grandma said.
+
+"Wow, he is very clever!" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, he is. And so are you, my dear. And you too, Sara. You are both very clever and kind. I'm so proud of you." grandma said.
+
+She hugged them again and kissed their cheeks. Then they went inside the house. They had a lot of fun with their grandma. They told her about their school, their friends, and their toys. She told them about her travels, her animals, and her books. They laughed and played and ate more peaches. They were very happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the farm with Lily's mom. The farm is enormous. It has many animals and plants.
+
+"Look, Tom, cows!" Lily says. She points to the big black and white animals. They are eating grass and mooing.
+
+"Wow, they are so big!" Tom says. He wants to touch them, but Lily's mom says no. "They might kick or bite. We have to be careful."
+
+Lily and Tom see other animals too. They see chickens, pigs, sheep, horses, and ducks. They hear them make different sounds. They laugh and try to copy them.
+
+"Quack, quack, quack!" Lily says, flapping her arms like a duck.
+
+"Baa, baa, baa!" Tom says, jumping like a sheep.
+
+They have fun at the farm. They also see how the farmer grows fruits and vegetables. They help him pick some apples and carrots. He gives them some to eat.
+
+"Thank you, farmer!" Lily and Tom say. They like the farm. They want to come back again.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to act like they were famous movie stars. They put on their best clothes and sunglasses and walked around the house.
+
+"Hello, I am Tom, the famous actor," Tom said to their mom. "Can I have some juice, please?"
+
+"Of course, Tom, the famous actor," their mom said with a smile. "Here you go."
+
+"Thank you, mom," Tom said. He took the juice and went to the living room. He saw a big chair and decided to sit on it.
+
+"This is my chair, because I am famous," he said.
+
+Lily followed him and saw the chair. She wanted to sit on it too.
+
+"No, Tom, this is not your chair," she said. "This is our chair. We can share it."
+
+"No, Lily, this is my chair," Tom said. "You can sit on the floor."
+
+Lily did not like that. She tried to push Tom off the chair.
+
+"Stop, Lily, you are hurting me," Tom said.
+
+"Give me the chair, Tom, you are being mean," Lily said.
+
+They both pushed and pulled and shouted. Their mom heard them and came to the living room.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asked.
+
+"Tom won't share the chair with me," Lily said.
+
+"Lily is trying to take my chair from me," Tom said.
+
+Their mom looked at the chair. It was not a special chair. It was just a regular chair.
+
+"Tom, Lily, this is not a famous chair," she said. "This is just a chair. You can both sit on it, or you can find another chair, or you can play something else. But you have to stop fighting and be nice to each other."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry for making their mom upset. They also felt silly for fighting over a chair.
+
+"Sorry, mom," they said.
+
+"Sorry, Tom," Lily said.
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Tom said.
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to share the chair and take turns pretending to be famous. They also invited their mom to join them and have some juice. They had fun playing pretend and being nice to each other.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big pile of leaves. They run to the pile and jump in. The leaves scatter everywhere. They laugh and have fun.
+
+"Look, Ben, a pink leaf!" Lily says. She picks up the leaf and shows it to Ben. It is very pretty and shiny.
+
+"Wow, Lily, it is cool!" Ben says. He wants to see the leaf too. He reaches for it, but Lily pulls it away.
+
+"No, Ben, it is mine!" Lily says. She does not want to share the leaf. She holds it tight in her hand.
+
+"Please, Lily, let me see it!" Ben says. He feels sad and angry. He tries to grab the leaf, but Lily runs away.
+
+"Stop, Lily, stop!" Ben says. He chases Lily around the park. They forget about the leaves and the fun. They only care about the pink leaf.
+Lily liked to fly. She had a big red cape that she tied around her neck. When she ran fast, the cape made her feel like she was flying in the air. She liked to pretend she was a superhero, saving people and animals from danger.
+
+One day, she saw her mom putting dishes in the dishwasher. Lily wanted to help. She ran to the kitchen with her cape on. She saw a big spoon on the counter. She thought it would be a good tool for a superhero. She grabbed the spoon and said, "Mom, look! I have a super spoon!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's nice, Lily. But be careful with the spoon. It's sharp and it can hurt you."
+
+Lily nodded, but she was not careful. She waved the spoon around, pretending it was a magic wand. She ran to the living room, where her dad was reading a book. She said, "Dad, look! I have a super spoon!"
+
+Dad looked up and said, "That's nice, Lily. But be careful with the spoon. It's sharp and it can hurt the couch."
+
+Lily nodded, but she was not careful. She poked the couch with the spoon, making a small hole. She did not notice. She ran to the backyard, where her dog was playing. She said, "Dog, look! I have a super spoon!"
+
+Dog barked and wagged his tail. He thought the spoon was a toy. He jumped up and tried to catch the spoon. Lily laughed and lifted the spoon high. She said, "No, Dog! You can't have my super spoon!"
+
+But Dog was faster. He jumped again and bit the spoon. The spoon snapped in half. Lily gasped. She felt anxious. She had broken the spoon. She had broken Mom's spoon. She had broken Dad's spoon. She had broken the super spoon. She did not feel like flying anymore. She felt like crying.
+
+She ran back to the house, holding the broken spoon. She saw Mom and Dad in the kitchen. They looked angry. They saw the hole in the couch. They saw the broken spoon. They saw Lily's cape. They said, "Lily, what have you done?"
+Tim and Mia liked to play pretend. They had a big box of costumes and toys. One day, they decided to be knights and fight a dragon. Tim put on a shiny helmet and a cape. He took a sword from the box. Mia put on a dress and a crown. She took a wand from the box.
+
+"Come on, Mia, let's go to the castle and save the princess!" Tim said.
+
+"But I am the princess!" Mia said.
+
+"No, you are the fairy godmother. You have to help me with your magic." Tim said.
+
+Mia did not like this idea. She wanted to be the princess. She refused to play with Tim.
+
+"Fine, then I will go by myself. You are a mean fairy godmother!" Tim said. He ran out of the room.
+
+Mia felt bad. She did not want to be mean. She wanted to play with Tim. She followed him to the living room. There, she saw Tim facing a big stuffed animal. It was a green dragon with red eyes and sharp teeth. Tim looked nervous. He held his sword in front of him.
+
+"Roar! I am the dragon! I will eat you and the princess!" the dragon said. It was Tim's dad, hiding behind the couch. He liked to play pretend too.
+
+"Help! Help! I need the fairy godmother!" Tim said.
+
+Mia heard Tim's cry. She ran to his side. She waved her wand at the dragon.
+
+"Zap! I am the fairy godmother! I will turn you into a frog!" Mia said.
+
+The dragon pretended to be scared. He dropped the stuffed animal and jumped out from behind the couch. He was wearing a green shirt and a hat with horns.
+
+"Ribbit! Ribbit! You are very brave, knight and fairy godmother! You have saved the princess!" he said.
+
+Tim and Mia smiled. They hugged their dad. They were happy. They played pretend together.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to visit their grandma every week. Grandma lived in a big house with a big garden and a big dog. The dog's name was Max and he had black and white fur. Lily loved Max and always played with him, but Tom was fearful of Max. He thought Max was too loud and too fast and too big.
+
+One day, when they were visiting grandma, Lily and Tom saw a big box in the garden. Lily ran to the box and opened it. Inside, there was a small kitten with orange fur. Lily was very happy and picked up the kitten. She said, "Look, Tom, a new friend! Can we keep her?"
+
+Tom walked slowly to the box and looked at the kitten. He thought the kitten was cute and soft, but he was also fearful. He said, "What if Max doesn't like her? What if he chases her or bites her?"
+
+Lily said, "Don't worry, Tom. Max is a good dog. He will be nice to the kitten. Let's show him." She carried the kitten to Max, who was lying on the porch. Max lifted his head and sniffed the kitten. The kitten meowed and rubbed her head against Max's nose. Max wagged his tail and licked the kitten.
+
+Lily smiled and said, "See, Tom, they like each other. They are friends." Tom smiled too and petted the kitten and Max. He said, "You're right, Lily. They are friends. And so are we." He hugged Lily and the kitten and Max. Grandma came out and saw them. She said, "What a lovely sight! You can keep the kitten, my dears. She needs a home and a family. And you can name her."
+
+Lily and Tom were very happy and thanked grandma. They decided to name the kitten Daisy. They played with Daisy and Max in the garden until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to grandma and the animals and promised to visit again soon. They were not fearful anymore. They had made new friends.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they found a big cap in the grass. It was red and blue and had a star on it.
+
+"Wow, look at this cap!" Tim said. "It is so cool. Can I try it on?"
+
+"Sure, you can try it on," Sam said. "But be careful. It might be scary."
+
+Tim put the cap on his head. He felt funny. He felt sleepy. He yawned.
+
+"Tim, are you okay?" Sam asked. "You look tired."
+
+"I am okay," Tim said. "But I feel like I want to sleep. Maybe this cap is magic. Maybe it makes you dream."
+
+Tim closed his eyes. He started to dream. He dreamed of flying in the sky. He dreamed of seeing the stars. He dreamed of being a hero.
+
+Sam watched Tim. He was worried. He tried to wake him up. He shook him. He called his name. He pulled the cap off his head.
+
+But Tim did not wake up. He did not open his eyes. He did not move. He did not breathe.
+
+Sam screamed. He ran to get help. He left the cap in the grass.
+
+The cap was scary. The cap was bad. The cap took Tim away.
+Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a new house on their street. The house is big and white, but the lawn is ugly. It has no grass, only dirt and rocks.
+
+"Look at that lawn!" Sam says to Ben. "It is so ugly. Why do they have no grass?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe they don't like grass. Maybe they like dirt and rocks."
+
+They walk closer to the house. They see a man and a woman. They are the new people who live in the house. They are working on the lawn. They have shovels and buckets and plants.
+
+"Hello," the man says to Sam and Ben. "We are your new neighbors. What are your names?"
+
+"I am Sam and this is Ben," Sam says. "We live on this street. We like to play outside."
+
+"Nice to meet you, Sam and Ben," the woman says. "We are Tom and Lisa. We are making a garden on our lawn. We like to grow flowers and vegetables."
+
+"A garden?" Sam says. "But there is no grass. How can you grow a garden without grass?"
+
+"You don't need grass to grow a garden," Tom says. "You need soil and water and sun and seeds. We are putting soil and seeds in the buckets. Then we will water them and wait for them to grow."
+
+"Can we help you?" Ben asks. "We like to help."
+
+"Sure, you can help us," Lisa says. "You can help us fill the buckets with soil and seeds. Then you can help us water them and put them on the lawn."
+
+Sam and Ben are happy. They help Tom and Lisa make their garden. They talk and laugh and learn. They see that the lawn is not ugly. It is different and beautiful. They make new friends. They have fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together at school. They have a lot of fun.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben decide to play marry. They find a big white cloth and a shiny ring. They put the cloth on Lily's head and the ring on Ben's finger. They hold hands and say, "I marry you, you marry me."
+
+Then they pretend to go on a holiday. They pack a bag with toys and snacks. They find a big cardboard box and draw windows and wheels on it. They say, "This is our car. We go to the beach."
+
+They push the box to the playground and find a spot with sand and water. They get out of the box and put their bag down. They make a sandcastle and splash in the water. They eat their snacks and laugh. They say, "This is our holiday. We have a lot of fun."
+
+Lily and Ben are very organized. They clean up their mess and put everything back where they found it. They say goodbye to the beach and get back in the box. They push the box to the classroom and find their teacher. They say, "We played marry and holiday. We had a lot of fun."
+
+The teacher smiles and says, "You are very organized. You played well together. I am proud of you."
+
+Lily and Ben hug and say, "We are friends. We like to play together."
+Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run around with their friends. But there was one thing they hated: the crocodile.
+
+The crocodile was not a real crocodile, but a big green statue that stood near the pond. It had sharp teeth, a long tail and scary eyes. Tom and Lily thought it was ugly and mean, and they always stayed away from it.
+
+One day, an elderly lady came to the park with her dog. She wore a purple hat, a blue coat and a yellow scarf. She looked very nice and friendly. She walked towards the crocodile and smiled.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Crocodile," she said. "You are such a handsome fellow. Do you mind if I sit next to you and read my book?"
+
+Tom and Lily were shocked. How could she talk to the crocodile like that? How could she think he was handsome? They ran over to the lady and tried to warn her.
+
+"Lady, lady, don't sit there!" Tom shouted. "The crocodile is bad! He will bite you and your dog!"
+
+"Yes, lady, yes!" Lily agreed. "The crocodile is ugly! He will scare you and your dog!"
+
+The lady looked at them and laughed. She patted the crocodile's head and said, "Oh, don't worry, children. The crocodile is not bad or ugly. He is just lonely. He has been here for a long time, and nobody ever talks to him or plays with him. He is very sad. That's why I come here every day to keep him company and read him stories. He likes that very much. He is a good crocodile, and he won't hurt anyone."
+
+Tom and Lily were confused. They had never thought of the crocodile as lonely or sad. They had never thought of him as good. They looked at the lady and the crocodile, and then at each other. They didn't know what to say.
+
+The lady smiled again and said, "Why don't you join us, children? You can sit with me and listen to the stories. Maybe you will find out that the crocodile is not so bad or ugly after all. Maybe you will even like him."
+
+Tom and Lily hesitated. They were still afraid of the crocodile, but they were also curious. They wanted to hear the stories. They wanted to see if the lady was right. They decided to give the crocodile a chance.
+
+They nodded and said, "Okay, lady, okay. We will join you. But only for a little while."
+
+The lady was happy. She made room for them on the bench and opened her book. She began to read aloud, and the crocodile listened. Tom and Lily listened too. They forgot their fear and their hate. They felt something new. They felt sorry for the crocodile. They felt sorry for themselves. They realized they had been wrong. They realized they had been mean.
+
+They looked at the crocodile and said, "We are sorry, Mr. Crocodile. We are sorry we hated you. We are sorry we called you bad and ugly. We didn't know you were lonely and sad. We didn't know you were good and handsome. We want to be your friends. Will you be our friend?"
+
+The crocodile smiled. He showed his teeth, but not in a scary way. In a happy way. He nodded and said, "Yes, children, yes. I will be your friend. Thank you for being nice to me. Thank you for giving me a chance. You are good children. You are beautiful children. I like you very much."
+
+The lady was proud. She hugged them all and said, "You see, children, you see. The crocodile is not so bad or ugly after all. He is just lonely and sad. But now he has friends. Now he has you. And you have him. And you have me. And I have you. We are all friends. We are all happy."
+
+They all smiled and agreed. They were all friends. They were all happy. They stayed together and listened to the stories. They learned to love the crocodile. They learned to love each other. They learned to love themselves. They never hated again.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play pretend. One day, they found their dad's old uniform in the closet. It was green and had many pockets and buttons. They decided to wear it and pretend they were soldiers.
+
+They went outside and ran around the yard, making loud noises and shooting with their toy guns. They had fun, but they did not see their neighbor, Mrs. Lee, who was watering her flowers. Mrs. Lee was old and had bad ears. She did not like loud noises. She thought the boys were real soldiers who came to hurt her. She was very scared.
+
+She ran inside her house and locked the door. She called the police and yelled, "Help! Help! There are soldiers in my yard! They are scary and have guns! Please come and save me!"
+
+The police came very fast and saw Tim and Sam in the uniform. They realized they were just kids playing. They told them to stop and take off the uniform. They explained to them that they scared Mrs. Lee and that it was not nice to yell and make loud noises. They also told them to say sorry to Mrs. Lee and to be more careful next time.
+
+Tim and Sam felt bad. They did not mean to scare Mrs. Lee. They took off the uniform and went to her house. They knocked on the door and said, "Mrs. Lee, we are sorry. We were just playing pretend. We did not know you were here. We did not want to scare you. Please forgive us."
+
+Mrs. Lee opened the door and saw the boys. She was still a little scared, but she saw that they were sorry. She said, "It's okay, boys. I forgive you. But please don't play like that again. It is not safe and it is not polite. You should respect your neighbors and be quiet. And you should not wear things that are not yours. That uniform belongs to your dad. He worked hard to earn it. You should be proud of him and not use it for fun."
+
+Tim and Sam nodded and said, "Yes, Mrs. Lee. You are right. We are sorry. We are proud of our dad. We will not wear his uniform again. We will be more respectful and quiet. Thank you for forgiving us."
+
+Mrs. Lee smiled and said, "You are welcome, boys. You are good kids. You just need to learn some manners. Now go and play nicely. And maybe next time, you can pretend to be something else. Like doctors or teachers or firefighters. They are also brave and helpful and wear uniforms."
+
+Tim and Sam thanked Mrs. Lee and went back to their yard. They decided to play something else. They learned their lesson. They learned that yelling and making loud noises can scare people and that wearing someone else's uniform can be wrong. They learned to be more considerate and respectful of others. They learned to be better brothers and neighbors.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big ball with many spikes on it. Sara wanted to play with the ball, but Ben said no.
+
+"That is not a ball, that is a porcupine. It can hurt you with its spikes. Leave it alone," Ben said.
+
+But Sara did not listen. She ran to the porcupine and tried to pick it up. The porcupine did not like that. It rolled into a ball and poked Sara with its spikes. Sara cried out in pain and dropped the porcupine.
+
+Ben ran to Sara and helped her. He took out the spikes from her hands and arms. He said, "I told you not to touch the porcupine. Why did you not listen to me?"
+
+Sara was sorry. She said, "I wanted to play with the ball. I did not know it was a porcupine. I was silly. I should have listened to you."
+
+Ben hugged Sara and said, "It is okay. I am glad you are not hurt too much. Next time, be careful and do not touch things you do not know. And if you want to play with a ball, I have one in my backpack. It is soft and round and does not have spikes."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. Can we play with your ball now?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, we can. But first, let us say sorry to the porcupine and leave it alone."
+
+Sara and Ben said sorry to the porcupine and walked away. The porcupine unrolled and looked at them. It was happy that they left it alone. It did not like to be bothered. It went back to its empty home under the tree and took a nap.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: Listen to your friends and do not touch things you do not know. Be respectful of animals and their homes.
+Sara and Ben like to play outside. They have a big yard with many trees and flowers. One day, they see a lot of fog in the air. The fog is white and soft, like a big blanket.
+
+"Let's go see the fog!" Sara says. She takes Ben's hand and they run to the gate. The gate is blue and has a lock. Sara knows how to open the lock. She turns the key and pushes the gate.
+
+"Wow, look at the fog!" Ben says. He steps out of the gate and into the fog. He can't see very far. He feels cold and wet. He laughs and spins around.
+
+Sara follows him. She likes the fog too. She tries to catch it with her hands. She can't see the trees or the flowers or the house. She can only see Ben and the gate.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek!" Ben says. He runs away from Sara and hides behind a bush. He thinks Sara can't find him.
+
+Sara counts to ten. She says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks for Ben in the fog. She can't see him. She calls his name. She can't hear him. She walks around the bush. He is not there. She walks to the gate. He is not there. She walks to the road. He is not there.
+
+Sara is scared. She cries. She wants Ben. She wants Mom. She wants to go home. She hears a loud noise. She sees a big truck. The truck is red and has a horn. The truck is fast and loud. The truck can't see Ben. The truck hits Ben. Ben falls down. Ben does not move. Ben does not laugh. Ben does not talk.
+
+Sara screams. She runs to Ben. She shakes him. She hugs him. She says, "Ben, Ben, wake up! Please, Ben, wake up!" But Ben does not wake up. Ben is gone. Sara is alone. Sara is sad. Sara is sorry. The end.
+Lily was very happy today. She was going to her friend Ben's birthday party. Ben was very popular. He had many friends and toys. Lily liked Ben a lot. She wanted to give him a special gift.
+
+She had a big box with a drum inside. She knew Ben liked to make noise and music. She thought he would love the drum. She wrapped the box with colorful paper and a bow. She wrote "Happy Birthday Ben" on a card.
+
+She arrived at Ben's house with her mom. She saw many cars and kids outside. She heard music and laughter. She ran to the door and rang the bell. Ben's mom opened the door and smiled.
+
+"Hello, Lily! Welcome to the party! Ben is in the backyard with the other kids. You can leave your gift on the table inside. Come on, let's go have some fun!"
+
+Lily followed Ben's mom to the backyard. She saw a big cake, balloons, games and prizes. She saw Ben wearing a hat and a badge. He looked very happy. He saw Lily and waved.
+
+"Hi, Lily! I'm so glad you came! Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She gave Ben a hug and said, "Happy Birthday, Ben! I have a gift for you. It's a drum. I hope you like it."
+
+Ben's eyes widened. He loved drums. He said, "Wow, Lily! Thank you so much! That's the best gift ever! Can I open it now?"
+
+Lily said, "Sure, Ben! Let's go to the table and open it."
+
+They ran to the table and opened the box. Ben took out the drum and banged on it. He made a loud and happy sound. He said, "This is awesome, Lily! You are the best friend ever! Do you want to play the drum with me?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, Ben! Let's play the drum together!"
+
+They played the drum and sang and danced. They had a lot of fun. They were very happy. They were the best friends ever.
+Mark was a boy who liked to draw. He had many colors and papers to make pictures. He drew animals, cars, houses, and anything he saw or dreamed. He was very good at drawing and everyone liked his pictures.
+
+One day, Mark went to the park with his mom. He saw a big tree with many leaves and birds. He wanted to draw the tree, so he asked his mom for a paper and a color. His mom gave him a paper and a green color. Mark was happy and started to draw.
+
+But then, a big wind came and blew his paper away. Mark was sad and ran after his paper. He saw his paper flying in the air and landing on a wall. He tried to get his paper, but the wall was too high. He saw his drawing on the wall and felt proud. He thought it looked like a real tree.
+
+Some people saw his drawing on the wall and stopped to look. They said it was very pretty and clever. They asked who made it and Mark said it was him. They said he was very talented and famous. They took pictures of his drawing and him. Mark was happy and smiled.
+
+His mom came and saw his drawing on the wall. She was surprised and proud. She hugged him and said he was a great artist. She said she didn't mind that he lost his paper, because he made a beautiful mark on the world. Mark was happy and hugged her back. He said he loved her and drawing.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. But today, they are troubled. They do not know where to play.
+
+"Can we play in your house?" Tom asks Sam.
+
+"No, my mom is busy. She says we have to stay outside," Sam says.
+
+"Can we play in my house?" Tom asks Sam.
+
+"No, my dad is working. He says we have to be quiet," Sam says.
+
+They look around. They see a park, a store, and a road. They do not like any of them.
+
+"What can we do?" Tom asks Sam.
+
+They sit on a bench and discuss. They think hard. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's play in the library!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, let's go to the library!" Sam says.
+
+They run to the library. They see many books and pictures. They see a nice lady. She smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, boys. Do you want to read some books?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Sam say.
+
+They follow the lady. She shows them a shelf with books for kids. They see books about animals, colors, and shapes. They see books with stories and rhymes.
+
+They pick some books and sit on a mat. They look at the books and read the words. They point at the pictures and say the names. They laugh and learn.
+
+They are not troubled anymore. They are happy. They like the library. They thank the lady.
+
+They play in the library until it is time to go home. They hug each other and say goodbye.
+
+They are friends. They like to play with books.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they have a task. They have to clean their room. Sara and Ben do not like this task. They want to play with their toys.
+
+"Ben, can you help me with this box?" Sara calls. She tries to lift a big box of books. The box is too heavy for her. She cannot fit it in the closet.
+
+"OK, Sara, I will help you," Ben calls back. He runs to Sara and grabs the other side of the box. They lift the box together. They are strong. They fit the box in the closet.
+
+"Good job, Ben!" Sara says. She gives Ben a high five. "Now we can play with our toys."
+
+"Yes, Sara, we can play!" Ben says. He smiles. He picks up his favorite car. Sara picks up her favorite doll. They are happy. They have done their task. They have fun.
+Lily liked to teach her dolls how to do things. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pretty dress, and a glass necklace. Lily always gave Anna the best spot on the bed, the biggest slice of cake, and the most hugs.
+
+One day, Lily's cousin Ben came to visit. He wanted to play with Lily and her dolls, but Lily did not want to share. She said Anna was her special doll and no one else could touch her. Ben felt sad and angry. He thought Lily was spoiled and mean.
+
+While Lily was in the bathroom, Ben sneaked into her room and grabbed Anna. He wanted to teach Lily a lesson. He ran outside and threw Anna on the ground. The glass necklace broke and the beads scattered everywhere. Anna's dress got dirty and torn. Ben felt happy and proud.
+
+Lily heard a loud noise and ran outside. She saw Anna on the ground and cried. She picked up her doll and hugged her. She saw Ben smiling and yelled at him. She said he was bad and mean. Ben did not care. He said Lily deserved it.
+
+Lily's mom heard the commotion and came outside. She saw what happened and scolded Ben. She said he was rude and cruel. She took him inside and called his mom. She said he had to go home and apologize. Ben felt ashamed and sorry.
+
+Lily's mom comforted Lily and helped her fix Anna. She said she was sorry and loved her. She also said she had to learn to share and be kind. She said Anna was not the only doll in the world and other children wanted to play too. Lily felt guilty and sorry.
+
+Lily and Ben both learned a lesson that day. They learned that teaching was not always good, that glass was not always pretty, and that spoiled was not always happy. They learned to be more careful, more gentle, and more friendly. They learned to say sorry and forgive. They learned to play together and have fun.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Tom brings a new toy to Anna's house. It is a jar with shiny stones inside. Tom says, "Look at my jar! It is so pretty and colorful. I found it in the park."
+
+Anna likes the jar too. She wants to hold it and shake it. She asks, "Can I play with your jar, Tom? Please?" Tom says, "No, it is mine. You have your own toys. Go play with them." He hugs the jar and turns away.
+
+Anna feels sad and jealous. She thinks, "Why is Tom so mean? He always shares his toys with me. I share my toys with him. His jar is not fair. I want it too." She tries to grab the jar from Tom, but he pushes her away. They start to fight and yell.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Anna fighting over the jar. She says, "Stop it, both of you! What is going on here? Why are you not playing nicely?" Tom and Anna tell Mom what happened. Mom says, "Tom, it is not nice to be selfish. You should share your jar with Anna. She is your friend. Anna, it is not nice to be jealous. You should ask Tom nicely if you can play with his jar. He might say yes."
+
+Tom and Anna feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry, Tom. We are sorry, Anna." They hug and make up. Mom says, "That's better. Now, why don't you take turns playing with the jar? You can also play with other toys and books. There are enough for both of you." Tom and Anna agree. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are right. We can share and have fun." They smile and play with the jar and other toys and books. They are happy and friends again.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. They ran, jumped, and slid on the grass and the swings. They saw many birds in the park, but they liked the ducks best. The ducks were yellow and brown and made funny noises.
+
+One day, they saw an enormous bird in the park. It was bigger than a duck, bigger than a dog, bigger than a car. It had a long neck, a big beak, and sharp claws. It was a goose, but Tim and Sam did not know that. They thought it was a friendly bird, like the ducks.
+
+"Look, Sam, a big bird!" Tim said. "Let's go and say hello!"
+
+"OK, Tim, let's go!" Sam said. They ran towards the goose, smiling and waving.
+
+The goose did not like the boys. It thought they were trying to take its food or hurt its babies. It hissed and flapped its wings. It bit Tim on the arm and scratched Sam on the face. Tim and Sam cried and ran away. They were hurt and scared.
+
+The goose chased them out of the park. It did not stop until they were far away. Tim and Sam never went back to the park. They hated the enormous bird. They stayed at home and played with their toys. They missed the ducks.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy boats in the bathtub. They had a big navy boat and a small red boat. They pretended to be captains and sailors.
+
+One day, Tom wanted to part the water with his navy boat. He pushed it hard and made a big wave. Lily did not like that. Her red boat flipped over and got wet.
+
+"Stop it, Tom!" Lily said. "You are making a mess!"
+
+But Tom did not stop. He was persistent. He wanted to part the water again and again. He made more waves and splashed Lily.
+
+Lily got angry. She grabbed her red boat and threw it at Tom. It hit his navy boat and made it sink.
+
+"Hey!" Tom said. "That's not fair!"
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Now we are even!"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at their wet boats and their wet faces. They started to laugh. They did not mind getting wet. They liked to play with their toy boats in the bathtub. They were friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. Lily had a big hat and a map. Ben had a sword and a hook.
+
+"Arrr, matey, where is the gold?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+Lily looked at the map. "It says we have to go to the closet and say the magic word."
+
+"What is the magic word?" Ben wondered.
+
+Lily smiled. "Please!"
+
+They ran to the closet and opened the door. Inside, they saw a shiny box with a lock. Lily tried to open it, but it was too hard.
+
+"Maybe we need a key," Ben said.
+
+He looked around the closet and saw a small key hanging on a hook. He reached for it, but it was too high.
+
+"Can you help me, Lily?" he asked.
+
+Lily nodded. She was a reliable sister. She climbed on a chair and got the key. She gave it to Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Lily!" Ben said.
+
+He put the key in the lock and turned it. The box opened and they saw a lot of coins and jewels.
+
+"Wow, we found the treasure!" Lily exclaimed.
+
+They hugged and cheered. They were happy pirates. They shared the treasure and played with it. They had a lot of fun.
+Lila was a very intelligent girl. She liked to learn new things and play with puzzles and books. She also liked to make things with her blocks and paper and glue. She was very proud of her creations.
+
+One day, she made a big zigzag with her blocks. It was very colorful and tall. She put it on the table and showed it to her mom. Her mom said it was very beautiful and clever. Lila was very happy.
+
+But then, her little brother Ben came into the room. He was not very intelligent. He liked to make noise and mess and trouble. He saw the zigzag and wanted to play with it. He grabbed it and pulled it and threw it. He destroyed the zigzag. The blocks fell on the floor and broke. Lila was very sad and angry.
+
+She cried and shouted at Ben. She said he was very bad and mean. She said he had to say sorry and help her fix the zigzag. But Ben did not say sorry. He laughed and ran away. He did not care.
+
+Lila's mom heard the noise and came back to the room. She saw the broken zigzag and the crying Lila. She hugged Lila and said she was sorry. She said Ben was very naughty and he would get a time out. She said she would help Lila make a new zigzag. She said she loved Lila and her intelligent mind. Lila felt a little better. She said she loved her mom too. She said she hoped Ben would learn to be nice and smart.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers and the grass. They had a big hose that made a lot of water come out. Sometimes they sprayed each other and laughed.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make a rainbow!" Ben said. He held the hose up to the sun and made the water sparkle.
+
+"Wow, that's pretty!" Lily said. She ran to join him and tried to catch the colors.
+
+They were having so much fun that they did not see Mom coming out of the house. She had a big bowl of yogurt in her hands. She wanted to give them a snack.
+
+"Hey, kids, time for yogurt!" Mom called. She walked towards them with a smile.
+
+But Lily and Ben did not hear her. They were too busy with the hose. They turned around and sprayed Mom by mistake.
+
+"Ah!" Mom shouted. She was soaked. She dropped the bowl of yogurt. It splashed on the ground.
+
+Lily and Ben stopped. They saw what they had done. They felt bad.
+
+"Sorry, Mom!" they said together. They ran to hug her.
+
+Mom was wet and sticky. But she was not angry. She was generous. She knew they did not mean to do it.
+
+"It's okay, kids. It was an accident. You were just having fun." Mom said. She hugged them back.
+
+"Can we still have yogurt?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course. There's more in the fridge. Let's go inside and get some." Mom said.
+
+She took their hands and led them to the house. They left the hose and the yogurt behind. They were happy.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and make mud pies. They did not care if they got filthy. They were having fun.
+
+But then, they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. It looked angry and hungry. Sara and Ben were scared. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. "Go away, dog! Go away!"
+
+The dog did not listen. It barked and growled and jumped at them. Sara and Ben ran to the house. They hoped the door was open.
+
+But the door was not open. It was locked. Sara and Ben banged on the door and shouted louder. "Help! Help! Let us in! Let us in!"
+
+Inside the house, Mom heard the noise. She was busy making lunch. She wondered what was wrong. She went to the door and opened it. She saw Sara and Ben and the dog.
+
+Mom had a big spirit. She was not afraid of the dog. She grabbed a broom and waved it at the dog. "Shoo! Shoo! Go away, dog! Go away!" she shouted.
+
+The dog did not like the broom. It yelped and ran away. Sara and Ben were safe. They hugged Mom and thanked her.
+
+Mom hugged them back and smiled. But then she saw how filthy they were. She shook her head and said, "You two need a bath. Come on, let's go inside and clean up."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded and followed Mom. They were glad the dog was gone. They were glad Mom was there. They still liked to play in the dirt. But they also liked to be clean.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see a big truck with wheat. Wheat is yellow and good for bread.
+
+They want to see the wheat. They climb on the truck. They touch the wheat. It is soft and warm. They make a game. They throw the wheat in the air and catch it.
+
+But they are not careful. They drop some wheat. The wheat falls on the ground. A blue bird sees the wheat. The blue bird is hungry. It flies to the wheat and eats it.
+
+Lily and Tom hear the bird. They look down. They see the wheat and the bird. They are scared. They think the farmer will be angry. They say sorry to the wheat and the bird. They get off the truck. They run to their moms. They hug their moms and tell them what happened.
+
+Their moms are not angry. They are happy that Lily and Tom are safe. They tell them to be more careful next time. They give them some bread with jam. The bread is made from wheat. Lily and Tom say thank you. They eat the bread and share it with the blue bird. The blue bird is happy too. They are all friends.
+Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked the animals, but they wanted to see the ostriches. Ostriches are big birds that have long necks and legs. They can run very fast, but they cannot fly.
+
+Mom took them to the ostrich pen. There were many ostriches there, some were eating, some were sleeping, and some were walking around. Ben and Lily wanted to touch the ostriches, but mom said no.
+
+"Ostriches are not pets, they are wild animals. They might bite you or kick you if you get too close. You have to stay behind the fence and look at them from a distance," mom said.
+
+"But mom, they look so soft and fluffy. Please let us touch them, just for a little bit," Ben begged.
+
+"Yeah, mom, please let us. We will be careful and gentle. We just want to feel their feathers," Lily agreed.
+
+Mom shook her head. "No, it is too dangerous. Ostriches are not used to people. They might get scared or angry if you touch them. You have to respect their space and leave them alone. It is not easy to take care of ostriches, they are difficult animals. They need a lot of room, food, and water. They also need other ostriches to keep them company. They are not happy in cages or houses. They belong in the wild, where they can run and be free."
+
+Ben and Lily were sad. They really wanted to touch the ostriches, but they knew mom was right. They did not want to hurt the ostriches or make them unhappy. They decided to listen to mom and stay behind the fence. They watched the ostriches for a while, and then moved on to see other animals. They still liked the ostriches, but they also liked the other animals. They had a fun day at the zoo.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they find a new toy on the shelf. It is a mug with a picture of a dog on it. Lily and Ben both want the mug. They think it is very pretty and warm.
+
+Lily says, "I saw it first. It is mine." Ben says, "No, I saw it first. It is mine." They start to fight over the mug. They pull and tug and shout. The mug falls from their hands and breaks on the floor. The dog picture is gone. Lily and Ben are sad and sorry.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees the broken mug and the crying twins. She is not happy. She says, "Why did you fight over the mug? It was a gift for Grandma. She loves dogs. Now you have ruined it. You have to say sorry to each other and to Grandma."
+
+Lily and Ben hug each other and say sorry. They feel bad for breaking the mug and hurting Grandma's feelings. They also say sorry to Mom and promise to share their toys and not fight. Mom hugs them and says, "I love you, but you have to be careful and respectful. Now let's clean up the mess and make a card for Grandma. Maybe we can find another mug with a dog on it." Lily and Ben nod and smile. They hope Grandma will like their card and their new mug.
+Lily loved her doll very much. She named her doll Anna and gave her a pretty dress and a hat. She played with Anna every day and talked to her like a friend.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Anna. She saw another girl with a doll that was bigger and shinier than Anna. The girl said, "Look at my doll. She is the best doll in the world. She can sing and dance and do magic. What can your doll do?"
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "My doll can do many things. She can think and feel and love. She is modest and kind and loyal. She is the best doll for me."
+
+The girl laughed and said, "Your doll is boring and ugly. She can't do anything. She is just a toy. My doll is real and special. She is better than you and your doll."
+
+Lily wanted to cry, but she did not. She hugged Anna and said, "Don't listen to her, Anna. She is mean and rude. She does not know how to be a good friend. You are my friend and I love you."
+
+Lily's mom heard the girls and came over. She said, "Lily, are you okay? What happened?"
+
+Lily told her mom what the girl said. Her mom said, "Lily, I'm sorry that the girl was unkind to you and Anna. But you know what? You are right. Anna is a wonderful doll and a great friend. She is not boring or ugly. She is beautiful and smart and sweet. You are lucky to have her. And I am lucky to have you. You are my daughter and I love you."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. And I love Anna. She is my doll and I am her girl."
+
+Lily and her mom left the park and went home. Lily played with Anna and told her stories. She was happy and proud of her doll. She did not care what the other girl said. She knew that Anna was the best doll in the world.
+Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and ran to it. They wanted to go down the slide and have fun.
+
+But the slide was wet. It had rained last night and the slide was slippery. Mom said, "Be careful, kids. The slide is wet. You might fall and hurt yourself."
+
+Ben and Lily did not listen to mom. They thought they knew better. They climbed up the slide and sat on the top. They looked at each other and smiled. They were ready to go down.
+
+But as soon as they moved, they slid too fast. They could not stop or steer. They screamed and bumped into each other. They flew off the slide and landed on the grass. They were wet and dirty and sore.
+
+Mom ran to them and hugged them. She checked if they were okay. She said, "I told you the slide was wet. You should have listened to me. I only want you to be safe and happy."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry. They realized they had been foolish and disobedient. They said, "We're sorry, mom. You were right. We should have listened to you. We won't do it again."
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. She said, "It's okay, kids. I forgive you. I love you. But next time, please be careful and follow the rules. They are there for a reason."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and hugged mom. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. They found a swing and a sandbox and a ball. They had fun and stayed dry. They thanked mom for taking them to the park. They were happy and grateful.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved to swim. They went to the pool with their mom every week. They had fun splashing, kicking and blowing bubbles in the water. They also learned how to swim safely and listen to the lifeguard.
+
+One day, they heard a bell ringing at the pool. It was a snack cart with yummy treats. Lily and Ben wanted to get some ice cream, but their mom said they had to wait. She said they had to dry off and rest for a while before eating. She said it was not good to eat right after swimming.
+
+Lily and Ben were impatient. They did not want to wait. They thought their mom was not looking. They sneaked out of their towels and ran to the snack cart. They grabbed two ice creams and started to eat them. They felt happy and proud.
+
+But soon, they felt sick. Their tummies hurt and they felt dizzy. They dropped their ice creams and ran back to their mom. They told her what they did and said they were sorry. Their mom was angry and worried. She said they were naughty and foolish. She said they could have choked or gotten a cramp. She said they had to learn to follow the rules and be patient.
+
+Lily and Ben felt ashamed and sad. They hugged their mom and said they learned their lesson. They said they would never eat right after swimming again. They said they would always listen to their mom and the lifeguard. Their mom forgave them and hugged them back. She said she loved them and wanted them to be safe and healthy. She said they could have some ice cream later, after they rested and drank some water. Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They said they loved their mom too. They said they still liked to swim, but they also liked to be smart and good.
+Lily likes to collect flowers. She has a basket and she walks in the garden. She picks the flowers that are yellow, pink and purple. She smells them and they are sweet.
+
+But one flower has a bee on it. The bee is black and yellow and it buzzes. Lily does not see the bee. She reaches for the flower and the bee stings her hand. Lily cries and drops the basket.
+
+Mama hears Lily and runs to her. She sees the bee and the flower and the basket. She hugs Lily and takes her inside. She puts some ice on Lily's hand and wraps it with a cloth. The cloth is tight and it helps the sting.
+
+Lily feels better and stops crying. Mama gives her some juice and a cookie. She tells Lily that the bee was scared and that is why it stung her. She says that Lily should be careful and look before she picks the flowers.
+
+Lily says she is sorry and she loves Mama. She says she still likes to collect flowers, but not the ones with bees. Mama smiles and kisses Lily. She says she loves Lily too and she is proud of her. They cuddle on the couch and read a book.
+Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can create anything they want with the blocks. Sometimes they create houses, sometimes they create cars, sometimes they create animals.
+
+One day, they decide to create a stable for their toy horses. They use brown blocks for the walls and roof, and green blocks for the grass. They put their toy horses inside the stable and make them neigh and gallop.
+
+"Look, our stable is very nice and cozy," Anna says. "Our horses are happy here."
+
+"Yes, it is," Ben agrees. "But I have an idea. Let's make a window for the stable, so the horses can see outside."
+
+"Good idea," Anna says. "How do we make a window?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. Then he says, "We can use a clear block for the window. A clear block is like glass. You can see through it."
+
+Anna nods. She finds a clear block and gives it to Ben. Ben makes a hole in the wall and puts the clear block in it. He shows Anna the window.
+
+"Look, now the horses can see the sky and the sun," Ben says.
+
+Anna smiles. She looks through the window and sees the blue sky and the bright sun. She says, "Wow, it's beautiful. You are very smart, Ben."
+
+Ben blushes. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind."
+
+They hug each other and continue to play with their stable and their horses. They are very happy.
+Tom and Anna are brother and sister. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and games. But they also have to sleep in their room at night.
+
+One night, Tom and Anna are getting ready for bed. They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They say good night to their mom and dad. They climb into their beds and hug their pillows.
+
+"Anna, do you know what I did today?" Tom asks.
+
+"What did you do, Tom?" Anna says.
+
+"I forgot to feed the fish!" Tom says. "I was too busy playing with my cars. I hope the fish are not hungry."
+
+Anna looks at the fish tank on the shelf. She sees the fish swimming and bubbling. She thinks they look happy.
+
+"Don't worry, Tom. The fish are fine. Mom fed them when she cleaned the tank. She told me so. You can feed them tomorrow, okay?" Anna says.
+
+"Okay, Anna. Thank you for telling me. I will feed them tomorrow. I will not forget again." Tom says.
+
+They both smile and close their eyes. They feel their pillows are soft and warm. They feel their blankets are heavy and cozy. They fall asleep and dream of fish and cars.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide that looked like a dragon. Anna wanted to go on the slide, but Ben was scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it is just a slide. It is not a real dragon. It is harmless," Anna said.
+
+"But it has teeth and claws and wings. It might bite me or scratch me or fly away with me," Ben said.
+
+Anna rolled her eyes. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She smiled at Ben and said, "Look, I am not afraid. I am going to open the dragon's mouth and slide down. Whee!"
+
+She pushed herself down the slide and laughed. She landed on the soft grass and looked up at Ben. "See, that was fun. The dragon is nice. It did not hurt me at all. Do you want to try?"
+
+Ben looked at Anna. She seemed happy and safe. He thought maybe the slide was not so scary after all. He decided to be brave and join Anna. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I am going to open the dragon's mouth and slide down. Whee!"
+
+He pushed himself down the slide and screamed. He felt a rush of wind and excitement. He landed on the soft grass and looked at Anna. He smiled and said, "You were right, Anna. That was fun. The dragon is nice. It did not hurt me at all. Thank you for showing me."
+
+Anna and Ben hugged each other. They learned that sometimes things that look scary are not really scary. They learned to be brave and try new things. They learned to have fun with the dragon slide.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They saw a big bench near the pond. The bench had some bread on it.
+
+"Look, Tom, bread!" Lily said. "I am hungry. Can we have some?"
+
+Tom nodded. He was hungry too. They ran to the bench and took some bread. They ate it fast. It was yummy.
+
+But then they heard a loud quack. A duck came out of the pond. It saw the bread. It wanted some too. It flew to the bench and opened its beak.
+
+"Hey, duck, stop!" Tom said. "That is our bread!"
+
+But the duck did not stop. It ate the bread very quickly. Lily and Tom watched. They were sad. The duck ate all the bread. There was none left.
+
+Then the duck flapped its wings. It flew away. It vanished in the sky.
+
+"Bye, duck," Lily said. "You are mean. You took our bread."
+
+Tom hugged Lily. He said, "Don't cry, Lily. We can find more bread. Or we can ask mom for a snack. Come on, let's go."
+
+They held hands and walked away. They left the bench empty. They still liked the park. But they did not like the duck.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big box with many tools inside. They want to make something with the tools.
+
+"Look, Ben, a hammer and nails!" Lily says. "We can make a house for our toys."
+
+"Yes, and a saw and wood!" Ben says. "We can cut the wood and make walls and a roof."
+
+They take the tools and the wood and start to work. They hit the nails with the hammer and cut the wood with the saw. They are very careful and do not hurt themselves.
+
+Soon, they have a small house for their toys. They are very happy and proud.
+
+"Wow, Lily, we did it!" Ben says. "Our house is very nice and strong."
+
+"Yes, Ben, we did it!" Lily says. "Our toys will love it."
+
+They put their toys inside the house and give them some sweet cookies and juice. They pretend that the toys are having a party.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Ben, for making us a house!" the toys say. "You are very kind and clever."
+
+"You are welcome, toys!" Lily and Ben say. "We are glad you like it."
+
+They hug their toys and smile. They have fun playing in the garden with their tools and their house. They are very good friends.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. One day, they saw a bird with bright colors and a long tail. It was sitting on a branch and making a loud sound. Tim and Kim were excited and wanted to see it closer.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Tim said. "It is so pretty and noisy. What is it doing?"
+
+"It is whistling," Kim said. "It is singing to other birds. Maybe it is looking for a friend."
+
+"Can we whistle too?" Tim asked. "Maybe the bird will like us and come to us."
+
+"Let's try," Kim said. They both puckered their lips and blew air. But they only made a funny noise. They tried again and again, but they could not whistle.
+
+The bird heard them and looked at them. It tilted its head and opened its beak. It whistled again, louder and longer. It sounded like it was laughing at them.
+
+Tim and Kim felt sad and silly. They stopped trying to whistle and walked away. They did not like the bird anymore.
+
+"Whistling is hard," Tim said. "I don't want to do it anymore."
+
+"Me neither," Kim said. "The bird was mean to us. It did not want to be our friend."
+
+They went to another part of the yard, where they saw a butterfly. It was flying from flower to flower. It had soft wings with many colors and patterns. Tim and Kim were excited and wanted to touch it.
+
+"Look, a butterfly!" Kim said. "It is so pretty and gentle. What is it doing?"
+
+"It is looking for nectar," Tim said. "It is drinking from the flowers. Maybe it is hungry."
+
+"Can we touch it?" Kim asked. "Maybe it will let us feel its wings."
+
+"Let's try," Tim said. They both reached out their hands and moved slowly. They did not want to scare the butterfly. The butterfly saw them and landed on Kim's finger. It fluttered its wings and tickled her skin.
+
+Kim giggled and smiled. She felt the texture of the butterfly's wings. They were soft and smooth. She showed Tim and he touched them too. He felt the same thing.
+
+The butterfly did not mind them. It stayed on Kim's finger for a while. It seemed to like them and trust them.
+
+Tim and Kim felt happy and proud. They thanked the butterfly and let it go. They liked the butterfly a lot.
+
+"Touching is easy," Kim said. "I want to do it more."
+
+"Me too," Tim said. "The butterfly was nice to us. It wanted to be our friend."
+
+They learned that day that whistling is not for everyone, but touching is for everyone. They learned that some animals are friendly and some are not. They learned to be gentle and respectful with nature. They learned to enjoy the simple things in life.
+Tom and Lily wanted to go to the park. They put on their coats and shoes and took their umbrella. It was cloudy and windy outside, but they did not care. They liked to play on the swings and the slide.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go!" Tom said. He held Lily's hand and they ran to the park. They saw some other kids there, but they did not say hello. They just wanted to have fun.
+
+They took turns on the swings and the slide. They laughed and shouted. They did not notice that the clouds were getting darker and darker. They did not hear the thunder or see the lightning. They did not feel the first drops of rain.
+
+Suddenly, the rain started to pour. It was heavy and cold. The other kids ran away, but Tom and Lily stayed. They opened their umbrella and tried to keep dry.
+
+"Let's go home, Tom, it's wet and scary!" Lily said. She was shivering and crying.
+
+"No, Lily, let's stay, it's fun!" Tom said. He was stubborn and persistent. He liked the rain and the noise. He did not want to leave.
+
+The rain did not stop. It got stronger and stronger. The wind blew harder and harder. The umbrella could not protect them. It was ripped and bent by the wind. Tom and Lily were soaked and scared.
+
+They tried to run back home, but it was too late. The water was rising and rising. It covered the grass and the path. It reached their feet and their knees. It was fast and strong. It swept them away.
+
+Tom and Lily screamed and cried. They held on to each other and to the broken umbrella. But they could not fight the water. It was too powerful and persistent. It dragged them under and away.
+
+They never saw their home or their parents again.
+One day, a child named Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She asked her mom, "Can I go on the slide, please?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, you can, but be careful. It is very high and fast. Hold on tight and don't let go."
+
+Lily nodded and ran to the slide. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. She looked down and felt scared. She wanted to go back, but there were other children behind her. She had to slide down.
+
+She closed her eyes and pushed herself. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She slid down faster and faster. She opened her eyes and saw the ground. She was almost there.
+
+She reached the end and landed on the grass. She was happy and proud. She did it! She looked at her mom and saw her smiling and clapping. She heard her mom say, "Well done, Lily! You are so brave and dependable. I knew you could do it!"
+
+Lily ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can I go again?"
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "Of course, you can. But first, let's have a snack. You must be hungry after your big adventure."
+
+They walked to a bench and shared a sandwich and a juice. Lily felt warm and safe. She was glad she had a mom who was dependable and who clapped for her. She thought, "This is the best day ever."
+Lily likes to print pictures with her crayons. She prints flowers, stars, and animals on big papers. She is very proud of her pictures. She wants to show them to her grandma, who lives far away.
+
+She asks her mom, "Can I send my pictures to grandma? She will like them very much."
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can. We need to put them in a bag and write her name and address on it. Then we can go to the post office and give the bag to the mailman. He will take the bag to grandma's house."
+
+Lily is very happy. She finds a big bag and puts all her pictures inside. She asks her mom to help her write grandma's name and address on the bag. She also writes "I love you, grandma" with her crayons.
+
+They go to the post office and see the mailman. He is wearing a blue hat and a blue shirt. He has a big cart full of bags and letters.
+
+Lily gives him her bag and says, "This is for my grandma. It has my pictures inside. They are very important. Please be careful with them."
+
+The mailman smiles and says, "Don't worry, little girl. I will be very careful with your bag. I'm sure your grandma will love your pictures. They are very beautiful."
+
+He puts the bag in his cart and waves goodbye to Lily and her mom. Lily waves back and says, "Thank you, mailman. Have a nice day."
+
+She feels very happy. She knows her grandma will be happy too, when she sees her pictures. She hugs her mom and says, "I love you, mom. You are the best."
+
+Her mom hugs her back and says, "I love you too, Lily. You are very sweet."
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play outside and look at the sky. One night, they saw many stars in the sky. They were bright and shiny.
+
+"Look, Max, a star!" Lily said, pointing at the sky.
+
+"I see it, Lily. It is so pretty!" Max said.
+
+"Do you think we can touch a star?" Lily asked.
+
+Max thought for a moment. He said, "Maybe, if we are very brave and fast. But it might be hot and far."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "I dare you to try. I dare you to run and jump and reach a star."
+
+Max looked at Lily. He said, "You dare me? That is not fair. You have to try too."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, I will try too. But you have to go first."
+
+Max agreed. He said, "Fine, I will go first. But you have to follow me."
+
+They held hands and ran across the grass. They counted to three and jumped as high as they could. They stretched their arms and fingers towards the sky. They felt the wind and the night.
+
+They did not touch a star. They fell back to the ground. They laughed and hugged. They were happy and proud.
+
+They looked at the sky again. They saw many stars in the sky. They were bright and shiny. They said, "We love stars. We love each other. We love to dare."
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. But they have only one big truck. They both want the truck.
+
+"Give me the truck, Sam!" Ben says.
+
+"No, it is my turn!" Sam says.
+
+They pull the truck and shout. Mom hears them and comes to see.
+
+"Boys, boys, stop fighting!" Mom says. "You have to share the truck. That is the law in our house."
+
+"What is law, Mom?" Ben asks.
+
+"Law is a rule that we follow to be good and fair," Mom says. "You have to take turns with the truck. Sam can play with it for five minutes, then Ben can play with it for five minutes. Can you do that?"
+
+Ben and Sam nod. They want to be good and fair.
+
+"OK, Mom, we will do that," Sam says.
+
+"Good," Mom says. "You are patient and kind brothers. I am proud of you."
+
+She gives them a hug and a kiss. Then she goes back to the kitchen.
+
+Ben and Sam play with the truck. They take turns and count to five. They have fun and do not fight. They follow the law and are happy.
+Sara and Tom were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big chest with many toys and books inside. They also had a small drawer under the bed where they hid some special things.
+
+One day, Sara wanted to show Tom her new necklace. It was shiny and had many colors. She said, "Tom, look what I have. It is my treasure. I keep it in the drawer. Do you want to see?"
+
+Tom nodded and followed Sara to the bed. Sara pulled the drawer out, but it was stuck. She pulled harder and harder, but it did not move. She got angry and pulled with all her strength. Then, something bad happened. The drawer broke and fell on the floor. All the things inside spilled out. Sara and Tom heard a loud noise.
+
+They were fearful. They knew their mom would be angry. They heard her footsteps coming up the stairs. They looked at each other and did not know what to do. They wanted to hide, but there was no place to hide.
+
+Their mom opened the door and saw the mess. She saw the broken drawer and the scattered things. She saw Sara and Tom sitting on the bed with scared faces. She said, "What happened here? Who broke the drawer? Why did you do this?"
+
+Sara and Tom did not answer. They felt sorry and ashamed. They knew they had done something wrong. They wished they had not played with the drawer. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they could fix the drawer. They wished they could make their mom happy.
+Ben and Lily like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the rocket. The rocket is big and red and can fly in the air. Ben and Lily pretend they are astronauts and go to the moon.
+
+One day, their mom tells them to sort their toys. She says they have to put the toys in different boxes. One box for cars, one box for dolls, one box for blocks, and one box for other toys. Ben and Lily do not want to sort their toys. They want to play with the rocket.
+
+They start to sort their toys, but they are not careful. They throw the toys in the boxes without looking. They do not see that the rocket is open. Inside the rocket, there is a button. The button makes the rocket fly.
+
+When they finish sorting their toys, they run to the rocket. They want to fly to the moon. They sit inside the rocket and close the door. They say, "Ready, set, go!"
+
+But the rocket does not go. It stays on the floor. Ben and Lily are confused. They look around and see the button. The button is pressed. They hear a beep. They hear a whoosh. They feel the rocket move.
+
+The rocket flies out of the door. It flies out of the window. It flies in the air. Ben and Lily scream. They are scared. They do not want to fly to the moon. They want to go back to their mom.
+
+Their mom hears them scream. She sees the rocket fly. She is shocked. She runs to the window. She shouts, "Ben! Lily! Come back!"
+
+But the rocket is too fast. It flies away. Ben and Lily do not know what to do. They hug each other and cry. They wish they had sorted their toys better. They wish they had closed the rocket. They wish they had listened to their mom.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But sometimes they fight over them.
+
+One day, Anna finds a bottle of perfume on Mom's dresser. She thinks it smells good. She wants to spray it on her doll. She takes the bottle and runs to her room.
+
+Ben sees Anna with the perfume. He wants to play with it too. He follows Anna and tries to grab the bottle. Anna does not want to share. She holds the bottle tight.
+
+"Give me the perfume!" Ben shouts.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Anna shouts back.
+
+They pull and tug on the bottle. They are both angry and hungry. They forget to be careful.
+
+The bottle slips from their hands. It falls on the floor. It breaks. The perfume spills everywhere. It makes a big mess. It stinks.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees the broken bottle and the perfume. She is not happy.
+
+"What did you do?" Mom asks.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom.
+
+Mom sighs. She tells them to clean up the mess. She says they should not take things that are not theirs. She says they should share and be nice to each other.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They help Mom clean up. They hug and say sorry to each other. They decide to play with their own toys. They are still hungry. They hope Mom will make them some snacks. They love Mom.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with sand. They had a big bucket and many toys to make shapes in the sand. They worked hard to build a lovely castle with towers and walls and a flag. They were very proud of their castle and wanted to show it to everyone.
+
+They put their bucket on a cart and pushed it to the park. They saw many other children playing there. They wanted to display their castle to them and make new friends. They found a nice spot and took their bucket off the cart. They were ready to show their castle.
+
+But then a big dog came running to them. The dog was very fast and strong. It saw the bucket and thought it was a toy. It jumped on the bucket and bit it hard. The bucket broke and the sand fell out. The castle was ruined. The dog ran away with the bucket in its mouth.
+
+Anna and Ben were very sad and angry. They cried and shouted. They had no bucket and no castle. They had no friends. They wished they had stayed at home. They picked up their cart and went back. They did not want to play with sand anymore.
+It was Anna's birthday. She was very happy. She wore a pink dress and a crown. Mom and Dad gave her a big hug and a present. It was a new doll. Anna loved her doll.
+
+"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Anna said. "You are the best!"
+
+"Happy birthday, sweetie!" Mom and Dad said. "We have a surprise for you. Come outside!"
+
+Anna followed Mom and Dad to the backyard. There were many balloons and a cake. The balloons were red, blue, yellow and green. They floated in the air. The cake was chocolate with white frosting. It had four candles on it.
+
+"Wow!" Anna said. "This is amazing!"
+
+"Surprise!" Mom and Dad said. "We invited your friends to celebrate with you!"
+
+Anna saw Lily, Ben, Mia and Sam. They were her best friends. They ran to Anna and gave her hugs. They sang "Happy Birthday" to Anna. Then they helped her blow out the candles.
+
+"Make a wish, Anna!" Lily said.
+
+Anna closed her eyes and made a wish. She wished for more fun and more love. She opened her eyes and smiled.
+
+"Let's eat cake!" Ben said.
+
+Mom cut the cake and gave everyone a slice. The cake was yummy. Anna and her friends ate the cake and licked their fingers. They drank juice and laughed.
+
+"Let's play with the balloons!" Mia said.
+
+Anna and her friends grabbed the balloons and tossed them in the air. They played catch and tag with the balloons. They had so much fun. The balloons made funny noises when they popped.
+
+"Let's take a picture!" Sam said.
+
+Mom took out her camera and asked everyone to smile. Anna and her friends hugged each other and smiled. Mom snapped the picture.
+
+"Say cheese!" Mom said.
+
+"Cheese!" Anna and her friends said.
+
+Anna looked at the picture. She saw her happy face and her happy friends. She felt warm and fuzzy inside.
+
+"This is the best birthday ever!" Anna said. "Thank you, Mom and Dad! Thank you, friends! I love you all!"
+Anna and Ben wanted to decorate the big cake for Mom's birthday. They had a lot of frosting, sprinkles, and candles. They put the cake on the table and started to spread the frosting with a knife.
+
+"Let me do it, Anna. You are too slow," Ben said. He grabbed the knife from Anna and made a big swirl on the cake.
+
+"No, Ben. It's my turn. Give it back," Anna said. She pulled the knife from Ben and made a smaller swirl on the cake.
+
+They kept fighting over the knife and the frosting. They did not see that the frosting was dripping from the table to the floor. They did not hear that the dog was licking the frosting from the floor. They did not notice that Mom was coming into the kitchen.
+
+Mom saw the mess on the table, the floor, and the dog. She saw the cake with the uneven frosting and the missing candles. She saw Anna and Ben with frosting on their faces and hands. She was very angry.
+
+"Anna and Ben, what have you done? You ruined the cake and the kitchen. And look at the dog. He ate the candles and now he is bald. How could you be so careless and selfish?" Mom yelled.
+
+Anna and Ben felt very sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They wanted to make her happy. They hugged Mom and said they were sorry.
+
+"We wanted to decorate the cake for you, Mom. We love you. Please don't be mad," Anna and Ben said.
+
+Mom sighed and hugged them back. She was still angry, but she loved them too. She said they had to clean up the mess and take the dog to the vet. She said they had to make a new cake and decorate it nicely. She said they had to learn to share and cooperate.
+
+"Maybe next time, you can ask me to help you decorate the cake. I can show you how to do it without making a drain on the floor and a bald dog," Mom said.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw large dark clouds in the sky. They heard loud noises like drums. They saw bright flashes like fire. They were scared of the lightning and thunder.
+
+"Let's go inside, Tom," Lily said. "Mom said we should not play outside when there is lightning and thunder. It is not safe."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He wanted to play with his new ball. He said, "No, Lily. I want to play with my ball. It is fun. You are a baby. You are afraid of everything."
+
+Lily was sad. She did not like when Tom called her a baby. She went inside and told Mom what Tom said. Mom hugged Lily and said, "You are not a baby, Lily. You are a smart girl. You did the right thing to come inside. Lightning and thunder can be dangerous. Tom should not play outside. He is being naughty."
+
+Mom went outside and called Tom. She said, "Tom, come inside right now. You cannot play outside when there is lightning and thunder. You could get hurt. And you should not be rude to your sister. She is your twin. You should love her and protect her."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He said, "No, Mom. I want to play with my ball. It is mine. I do not care about Lily. She is a baby. She is boring."
+
+Mom was angry. She said, "Tom, if you do not come inside, I will take your ball away. You will spoil your ball if you leave it outside. And you will spoil your relationship with your sister if you are mean to her. You have to learn to share and be kind."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He said, "No, Mom. You cannot take my ball away. It is mine. I do not want to share. I do not want to be kind."
+
+Mom shook her head and went inside. She hoped Tom would change his mind and come inside. But he did not. He kept playing with his ball. He did not see the lightning getting closer and closer. He did not hear the thunder getting louder and louder.
+
+Suddenly, a big flash of lightning hit the ground near Tom. It made a loud boom. It scared Tom so much that he dropped his ball and ran inside. He cried and hugged Mom. He said, "Mom, I am sorry. I was wrong. I should have listened to you and Lily. I was naughty. I do not want to play outside anymore. I do not want to play with my ball anymore. It is spoiled. It has a big hole from the lightning. Can you please fix it?"
+
+Mom said, "I am glad you are safe, Tom. But I cannot fix your ball. It is ruined. You have to learn to take care of your things and respect the weather. And you have to learn to be nice to your sister. She loves you and she was worried about you. She is your twin. You should love her and protect her."
+
+Tom said, "I am sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. You are not a baby. You are a smart girl. You did the right thing to come inside. Can you please forgive me? Can we play together?"
+
+Lily said, "I forgive you, Tom. You are my twin. I love you and I want to play with you. But we have to play inside. It is not safe outside. And we have to share and be kind."
+
+Mom said, "That's right, Lily and Tom. You are twins. You are a team. You have to stick together and help each other. And you have to listen to me and Dad. We love you and we want you to be safe and happy."
+
+Lily and Tom hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. We will listen to you and Dad. We will be safe and happy. We will be a team."
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: The story teaches the value of listening to parents, being respectful of nature, sharing and being kind to siblings.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red apples. They want to pick some apples to eat.
+
+"Look, Anna, look!" Tom says. "The apples are so red and shiny. Can we get some?"
+
+"Yes, Tom, yes!" Anna says. "But how can we reach them? They are too high."
+
+Tom thinks. He sees a big rock near the tree. He has an idea.
+
+"Anna, come here!" Tom says. "We can use this rock to climb up. I will go first, and then you follow me."
+
+Tom puts his foot on the rock and jumps. He grabs a branch and pulls himself up. He sees a big apple near him. He picks it and smiles.
+
+"Look, Anna, look!" Tom says. "I got an apple! It is so big and sweet. Here, catch!"
+
+Tom throws the apple to Anna. Anna catches it and laughs.
+
+"Thank you, Tom, thank you!" Anna says. "You are so brave and smart. I will try to get one too."
+
+Anna puts her foot on the rock and jumps. She grabs a branch and climbs up. She sees a small apple near her. She picks it and giggles.
+
+"Look, Tom, look!" Anna says. "I got an apple too! It is so cute and juicy. Here, try!"
+
+Anna bites her apple and shares it with Tom. Tom bites his apple and shares it with Anna. They eat and enjoy their apples.
+
+They are very happy and proud. They have picked their own apples. They are good friends. They love apples.
+Anna liked to sing. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang loud and happy songs that made her feel good.
+
+One day, Anna went with her mom and dad to visit a farmer. The farmer had many animals on his farm. He had cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, and a dog. Anna wanted to sing to the animals. She thought they would like her songs.
+
+She ran to the cow and sang, "Moo, moo, moo, I like you, you are big and brown and chew." The cow looked at her and mooed back. Anna smiled and ran to the pig. She sang, "Oink, oink, oink, you are pink, you are dirty and you stink." The pig looked at her and oinked back. Anna giggled and ran to the chicken. She sang, "Cluck, cluck, cluck, you are luck, you have feathers and you pluck." The chicken looked at her and cluck back. Anna laughed and ran to the sheep. She sang, "Baa, baa, baa, you are soft, you have wool and you are loft." The sheep looked at her and baaed back. Anna clapped and ran to the dog. She sang, "Woof, woof, woof, you are cool, you have fur and you can drool." The dog looked at her and barked back. Anna hugged the dog and said, "You are my friend."
+
+The farmer heard Anna singing and came to see her. He smiled and said, "You have a nice voice, little girl. You make the animals happy with your songs. Do you want to sing with me?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, please. I love to sing."
+
+The farmer took out his guitar and played a tune. He sang, "Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O. And on his farm he had some cows, E-I-E-I-O. With a moo moo here and a moo moo there, here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo. Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O."
+
+Anna joined him and sang along. She sang about the pigs, the chickens, the sheep, and the dog. She sang loud and happy. The animals joined them and made their sounds. It was a fun and noisy song.
+
+Anna's mom and dad came to see them. They were proud of Anna and her singing. They clapped and cheered for her and the farmer. Anna felt happy and thanked the farmer for his song. She said, "You are a good singer, farmer. You make me happy with your song. Can I come back and sing with you again?"
+
+The farmer nodded and said, "Of course, you can, little girl. You are always welcome on my farm. You are a good singer and a good friend."
+
+Anna smiled and hugged the farmer. She said, "Thank you, farmer. You are a good friend, too."
+
+Anna was not ashamed of her singing. She was proud and happy. She liked to sing and make others happy. She learned a new song and made a new friend. She had a good day on the farm.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a well in the park. The well is very old and deep. Lily and Ben want to look inside the well.
+
+They go near the well and look down. They see water and stones. They also see something shiny. It is a red ball. Lily and Ben want the red ball. They think it is a toy.
+
+Lily and Ben try to reach the red ball. They lean over the well. But they forget to be careful. They lose their balance and fall into the well. They splash into the water and scream.
+
+A man hears them and runs to the well. He sees Lily and Ben in the water. He is scared. He gets a rope and throws it to them. He tells them to hold on. He pulls them out of the well.
+
+Lily and Ben are wet and cold. They are also sorry. They say thank you to the man. They say sorry to each other. They forget about the red ball. They learn to be careful. They hug and go home.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big drum. They take turns to hit the drum with a stick. They make loud noises and have fun.
+
+One day, their mom says they have to go to the store with her. Anna and Ben do not want to go. They want to stay and play with the drum. They say no to their mom. They run to their room and close the door. They think they are very clever.
+
+But their mom is not happy. She knocks on the door and tells them to come out. She says they have to go to the store now. She says they can play with the drum later. She says they are being naughty and they have to listen to her.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They do not want to make their mom angry. They open the door and say sorry to their mom. They hug her and tell her they love her. They say they will go to the store with her.
+
+Their mom smiles and hugs them back. She says she loves them too. She says they are adorable and she is proud of them. She says they can strike the drum when they come back. She says they can have a stay at home day tomorrow. They all go to the store together. They are happy.
+Tim and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a worm, a beetle and a snail. They put them in a jar and gave them some leaves.
+
+"Look, Mia, I found a spider!" Tim said. He pointed to a big spider on a web. The spider had eight legs and many eyes. It was black and hairy.
+
+"Wow, Tim, that spider is big!" Mia said. She moved closer to see it. She was not afraid of spiders. She thought they were cool.
+
+"Can we keep it?" Tim asked. He wanted to add the spider to their jar.
+
+"No, Tim, we can't keep it," Mia said. She shook her head. "The spider needs its web. The web is its home. It catches flies and bugs to eat. If we take it, it will be sad and hungry."
+
+"But I like it," Tim said. He pouted. He thought the spider was pretty.
+
+"I like it too, Tim, but we have to leave it," Mia said. She smiled. "We can come back and visit it. Maybe it will make more webs and have baby spiders. That would be fun to see."
+
+"OK, Mia, you are right," Tim said. He nodded. He was a good brother. He did not want to hurt the spider. He put the jar down and waved to the spider. "Bye, spider, see you later!"
+
+"Bye, spider, have a nice day!" Mia said. She waved too. They left the spider on its web and went to play with their other bugs. They were happy. The spider was happy too.
+Tom is a kind boy. He likes to feed the birds in the park. He brings bread and seeds for them. He breaks the bread into small pieces and throws them on the grass. He holds the seeds in his hand and waits for the birds to come.
+
+One day, he sees a big bird with a long pipe on its face. It is a duck. Tom has never seen a duck before. He thinks it is funny and cute. He wants to feed the duck too. He walks slowly to the pond where the duck is swimming. He calls to the duck and shows it the seeds.
+
+The duck sees Tom and the seeds. It is hungry and curious. It swims to the edge of the pond and climbs out of the water. It waddles to Tom and pecks at his hand. Tom giggles and lets the duck eat the seeds. He strokes the duck's soft feathers and looks at its pipe. He wonders what the pipe is for.
+
+The duck likes Tom. It quacks and flaps its wings. It follows Tom around the park. Tom is happy. He has a new friend. He gives the duck more bread and seeds. He tells the duck his name and asks what its name is. The duck quacks again. Tom thinks that is its name. He calls it Quack.
+
+Tom and Quack have fun in the park. They play and feed and talk. They are kind to each other. They are happy.
+One day, a man and his son went to the park. They saw a big pile of snow. The son said, "Dad, can we make a snowman?"
+
+The man smiled and said, "Yes, we can. Let's find some sticks and stones and a hat."
+
+They worked hard and made a big snowman. They gave him a stick for a nose, two stones for eyes, and a hat for his head. They were very happy with their snowman.
+
+But then, a big dog came running. He saw the snowman and thought it was a toy. He jumped on the snowman and knocked him down. The snowman broke into many pieces.
+
+The son was very sad. He cried and said, "Dad, the dog ruined our snowman!"
+
+The man hugged his son and said, "Don't cry, son. We can make another snowman. But this time, let's make him deep in the woods, where the dog can't find him."
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with cars and balls and blocks. But they did not like to share. One day, they found an ashtray in the kitchen. It was wide and shiny and had a picture of a bird on it. They both wanted it.
+
+"Give me the ashtray!" Tom said. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sam said. "I saw it first!"
+
+They pulled and pushed and shouted. The ashtray slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. The bird was gone.
+
+Tom and Sam looked at the broken ashtray. They felt sad and sorry. They wanted to say sorry to each other and to their mom. But they did not know how.
+
+Mom came into the kitchen. She saw the mess and the broken ashtray. She was angry and sad. She loved the ashtray. It was a gift from her mom, who was gone.
+
+"Who did this?" Mom asked. "Who broke my ashtray?"
+
+Tom and Sam did not answer. They were afraid. They hid behind the table.
+
+Mom wept. She wept and wept. She did not hug Tom and Sam. She did not say it was okay. She did not say she loved them.
+
+Tom and Sam wept too. They wept and wept. They wished they had shared the ashtray. They wished they had not broken it. They wished they had said sorry. They wished Mom would hug them. But she did not.
+Lila and Sam were playing in the garden. They saw a big, yellow butterfly on a red flower. They wanted to catch it and look at it.
+
+"Come on, Sam, hurry!" Lila said. She ran after the butterfly with a net.
+
+Sam followed her, but he was slower. He tripped on a stone and fell down. He scraped his knee and it hurt.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam cried. He held his knee and tears came out of his eyes.
+
+Lila heard him and stopped. She turned around and saw Sam on the ground. She felt sorry for him. She dropped the net and ran back to him.
+
+"Are you okay, Sam?" she asked. She hugged him and kissed his knee.
+
+"It hurts, Lila," Sam said. He sniffed and wiped his tears.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam. Here, you can have my net. Maybe you can catch the butterfly and it will make you happy," Lila said. She gave him her net and smiled.
+
+"Really? Thank you, Lila. You are very generous," Sam said. He smiled back and took the net.
+
+They hugged again and then got up. They looked for the butterfly together. They saw it on another flower. They ran towards it, but they were careful not to trip or hurt the flower. They hoped the butterfly would stay still and let them catch it. They were happy and forgot about the pain.
+Lily wanted to help her mom make a cake. She saw a big pan on the floor. It was filthy. It had dirt and bugs on it. Lily did not like dirt and bugs. She wanted to clean the pan.
+
+She took a cloth and some water. She stepped on a chair to reach the sink. She put the pan in the sink. She rubbed the cloth on the pan. She tried to make it shiny.
+
+But the pan was too big and heavy. Lily could not hold it well. It slipped from her hands. It fell on the floor. It made a loud noise. It scared Lily. She cried.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily and the pan. She was not angry. She was worried.
+
+She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. You are not hurt. You are very brave. You wanted to help me. But this pan is not for cake. It is for trash. We have another pan for cake. It is clean and safe. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Lily nodded. She wiped her tears. She smiled. She said, "Yes, please. I want to see the cake pan. I want to help you make a cake. I love you, mom."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's go to the pantry. I have a surprise for you. It is something sweet and yummy. Do you know what it is?"
+
+Lily guessed, "Is it chocolate?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, it is. How did you know?"
+
+Lily said, "Because chocolate is my favorite. And you are the best mom ever."
+Emma loved to play with her daddy. He was mighty and could lift her up high and make her laugh. He also knew many fun games and stories. Sometimes, he would let her decide what to do next.
+
+One day, they were playing in the park. Daddy said, "Emma, do you want to go on the slide or the swing?" Emma thought hard. She liked both, but she wanted to try something new. She saw a big hill with a path on it. She pointed and said, "Daddy, can we go there?"
+
+Daddy smiled and said, "Sure, let's go. But be careful, it might be steep and slippery." He took her hand and they walked up the hill. Emma felt excited and curious. She wondered what they would see at the top.
+
+When they reached the top, they saw a beautiful view. They could see the whole park, the trees, the flowers, and the pond. They also saw a big bird with a long neck and a funny beak. It was a goose. Emma had never seen a goose before. She said, "Daddy, what is that?"
+
+Daddy said, "That is a goose, Emma. It is a kind of bird that lives near the water. It can swim and fly and make a loud noise. Do you want to say hello to it?" Emma nodded and said, "Yes, please."
+
+Daddy said, "Okay, but we have to be gentle and quiet. Geese can be shy and scared of strangers. And they can also bite if they feel threatened." He led her slowly and softly towards the goose. Emma felt nervous and curious. She wanted to touch the goose and hear it make a noise.
+
+But the goose did not want to be touched or heard. It saw Emma and daddy coming closer and felt angry and scared. It opened its beak and made a loud noise. It sounded like "Honk! Honk! Honk!" It also flapped its wings and ran towards them. Emma and daddy were surprised and scared. They turned around and ran back to the hill. The goose chased them and honked louder and louder.
+
+Emma and daddy ran as fast as they could. They reached the bottom of the hill and ran to the slide. They climbed up and slid down. The goose could not follow them. It stopped and honked some more. Then it went back to the pond. Emma and daddy were safe and relieved. They hugged each other and laughed. Emma said, "Daddy, that was scary and funny. I don't want to say hello to the goose again."
+
+Daddy said, "Me neither, Emma. Me neither. Next time, let's stick to the slide and the swing. They are more fun and less scary." Emma agreed and said, "Yes, daddy. I love you."
+
+Daddy said, "I love you too, Emma. You are my mighty and brave girl." They hugged again and played some more. They had a great day at the park.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big tent on the grass. It was green and yellow and had a flag on top.
+
+"Let's go see the tent!" Lily said.
+
+"OK!" Ben said.
+
+They ran to the tent and peeked inside. They saw a lot of things. They saw a table, a lamp, a bed, and a box. They also saw a man. He was sitting on the bed and reading a book.
+
+"Hello!" the man said. "Who are you?"
+
+"We are Lily and Ben. We are playing in the park. What are you doing?" Lily said.
+
+"I am Sam. I am camping in the park. This is my tent. I like to read and sleep in my tent. Do you want to see my things?" Sam said.
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben said.
+
+Sam showed them his things. He showed them his table, his lamp, his bed, and his box. He opened his box and took out something. It was a small, round, shiny thing. It had a hole in the middle.
+
+"This is my coin. It is very old and rare. It is worth a lot of money. It is very delicate. You have to be careful with it. Do you want to hold it?" Sam said.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily said.
+
+Sam gave the coin to Lily. Lily held it in her hand. She looked at it. It was very pretty. She saw a picture of a man and some words on it.
+
+"What does it say?" Lily asked.
+
+"It says 'One Cent'. It is from a long time ago. It is from a different country. It is very special. You have to give it back to me when you are done." Sam said.
+
+"OK!" Lily said.
+
+She looked at the coin some more. She saw a hole in the middle. She had an idea. She saw a string on the table. She took the string and put it through the hole. She made a knot. She made a necklace. She put the necklace around her neck.
+
+"Look, Ben! I made a necklace!" Lily said.
+
+"Wow, Lily! That is very nice!" Ben said.
+
+He looked at the necklace. He liked it. He wanted to have it. He reached for it. He pulled it. He tried to take it off Lily's neck.
+
+"Hey, Ben! Stop it! That is mine!" Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily! I want it! Give it to me!" Ben said.
+
+They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see Sam. He was angry. He stood up and walked to them. He grabbed the necklace. He pulled it hard. He broke it. The coin fell off. It rolled on the floor. It went out of the tent. It went down the hill. It went into the pond. It sank to the bottom.
+
+"Look what you did!" Sam said. "You broke my coin! You lost my coin! You ruined my coin! It was very delicate! You were not careful with it! You were very bad!"
+
+He scolded them. He yelled at them. He told them to go away. He told them to never come back. He was very mad.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They were sorry. They did not mean to break the coin. They did not mean to lose the coin. They did not mean to ruin the coin. They ran out of the tent. They ran back to the park. They cried.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with other people's things. They learned to be nice to each other. They learned to not attach things that do not belong to them. They learned to not pitch a fit over a coin. They learned to not be delicate with their feelings. They learned to say sorry. They learned to be friends.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They share a room and a big mattress. They like to play and jump on the mattress. But sometimes they fight over who gets more space.
+
+One morning, Lily wakes up early. She sees the sun rise in the sky. She thinks it is very pretty. She wants to show Ben. She jumps on the mattress and shakes him.
+
+"Ben, Ben, wake up! Look at the sun! It is so bright and yellow!" she says.
+
+Ben is still sleepy. He does not want to wake up. He wants to sleep more. He is grumpy.
+
+"Lily, stop it! Go away! Let me sleep!" he says.
+
+He pulls the blanket over his head. He tries to ignore Lily.
+
+But Lily does not go away. She keeps jumping and shaking. She thinks Ben is silly. She wants to have fun.
+
+"Ben, Ben, come on! It is a new day! We can play and have breakfast and watch cartoons!" she says.
+
+She pulls the blanket off him. She tickles him.
+
+Ben is annoyed. He does not like to be tickled. He pushes Lily away. He falls off the mattress. He hurts his elbow.
+
+"Ow! Lily, you are mean! You made me fall! You hurt me!" he says.
+
+He starts to cry. He runs to their mom.
+
+Mom hears Ben cry. She comes to the room. She sees Lily on the mattress. She sees Ben on the floor.
+
+"What happened? Why are you crying, Ben?" she asks.
+
+Ben tells mom what Lily did. He shows her his elbow. He says it is sore.
+
+Mom looks at Lily. She is not happy.
+
+"Lily, why did you do that? You should not jump on the mattress. You should not wake up Ben. You should not tickle him. You should be nice to your brother." she says.
+
+Lily feels sorry. She did not mean to hurt Ben. She just wanted to share the sun with him. She likes the sun. She thinks it is modern. She does not know what modern means. But she heard mom say it once.
+
+She gets off the mattress. She goes to Ben. She hugs him.
+
+"I am sorry, Ben. I did not want to hurt you. I wanted to show you the sun. It is modern. Do you want to see it?" she says.
+
+Ben stops crying. He looks at Lily. He sees she is sorry. He hugs her back.
+
+"It is okay, Lily. I forgive you. I want to see the sun too. What is modern?" he says.
+
+Lily and Ben go to the window. They look at the sun. They smile.
+
+Mom smiles too. She is glad they are friends again. She says they can have breakfast and watch cartoons. But first, they have to make the mattress. They have to be tidy. They have to be good.
+Lily was sad. Her best friend, Max, was sick. He had a big ouch on his leg from a bad fall. He could not run or play with Lily. He had to stay in bed and rest.
+
+Lily wanted to help Max heal. She made him a card with a picture of a rainbow and a heart. She wrote "I love you, Max" with her crayons. She brought him some cookies and milk. She read him a story about a brave lion who saved the world from a mean dragon.
+
+Max smiled when he saw Lily. He liked her card and her cookies and her story. He said "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You make me happy."
+
+Lily hugged Max. She was happy too. She said "You are welcome, Max. You are a good friend too. You will get better soon."
+
+They looked out the window and saw the sun shining. The world was not gloomy anymore. It was bright and beautiful. Lily and Max hoped they could go outside and play tomorrow. They knew they would always be friends.
+Here is one possible story, but there are many other ways to write it.
+
+---
+
+Lily wanted a dog. She asked her mom and dad many times, but they always said no. They said dogs were too big, too loud, too messy, and too expensive. Lily was frustrated. She loved dogs. She wanted to play with them, hug them, and feed them. She thought dogs were the best friends ever.
+
+One day, Lily saw a sign in the park. It said "Dog Show". There were many dogs there, of different colors, sizes, and shapes. Lily was very happy. She ran to the sign and pointed at it. She looked at her mom and dad and said, "Please, can we go? Please, please, please?"
+
+Her mom and dad looked at each other. They sighed. They knew Lily loved dogs, but they also knew they could not get one. They decided to let Lily see the dog show, hoping it would make her happy. They said, "Okay, Lily, we can go. But only for a little while. And you can't touch the dogs. They belong to other people."
+
+Lily nodded. She was so excited. She followed her mom and dad to the dog show. She saw many dogs doing tricks, jumping, running, and barking. She clapped and cheered. She wanted to pet them, but she remembered what her mom and dad said. She stayed close to them and watched.
+
+Then, she saw a dog that was different from the others. It was small, white, and fluffy. It had a pink bow on its head. It looked like a toy. It was sitting in a cage, alone. Lily felt sorry for it. She walked to the cage and said, "Hello, dog. What is your name? Why are you here?"
+
+The dog looked at Lily and wagged its tail. It licked Lily's hand through the bars. It made a soft sound. Lily smiled. She liked the dog. She wanted to take it home. She looked around and saw a man with a badge. He was the owner of the dog. She ran to him and said, "Excuse me, sir. Can I have your dog? Please, please, please?"
+
+The man looked at Lily and laughed. He said, "No, little girl. You can't have my dog. This is my dog. Her name is Fluffy. She is a prize-winning dog. She is very special and very expensive. You can't afford her."
+
+Lily felt sad. She wanted Fluffy. She thought Fluffy wanted her too. She said, "But, sir, I love Fluffy. She is so cute and nice. She likes me too. Can't you give her to me? Please, please, please?"
+
+The man shook his head. He said, "No, no, no. I can't give you Fluffy. She is not for sale. She is not for anyone but me. Now, go away. Leave me and Fluffy alone."
+
+Lily felt angry. She thought the man was mean and selfish. She said, "But, sir, that is not fair. Fluffy is not happy in the cage. She needs a friend. She needs me. I will take good care of her. I will play with her, hug her, and feed her. Please, please, please?"
+
+The man frowned. He said, "Enough, enough, enough. Stop bothering me. Go back to your mom and dad. They are looking for you. They are worried. Go now, or I will call the police."
+
+Lily felt scared. She did not want the police to come. She did not want to get in trouble. She looked at Fluffy and said, "Goodbye, Fluffy. I'm sorry. I hope you will be happy. I will miss you."
+
+She ran back to her mom and dad. They hugged her and said, "Lily, where were you? We were looking for you. We were scared. Don't run away from us again. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I saw a dog. I wanted it. But the man said no. He was mean. He did not let me have it."
+
+Her mom and dad said, "Lily, we know you love dogs. But you can't have every dog you see. Some dogs belong to other people. You have to respect that. You have to ask nicely. And you have to accept no for an answer. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, mom and dad. But I still want a dog. Can we get a dog? Please, please, please?"
+
+Her mom and dad looked at each other. They sighed. They said, "Maybe, Lily, maybe. One
+Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of toys, but his favorite was his telephone. He liked to pretend he was talking to his friends or his grandma on the telephone. He would say hello, how are you, and what are you doing.
+
+One day, Tom was playing with his telephone in his room. He lay on his bed and held the telephone to his ear. He was talking to his friend Sam, who was a dog. He asked Sam if he wanted to play ball later. He said he had a new ball that was red and shiny.
+
+But then, Tom heard a loud noise. It was his big sister, Lisa. She came into his room and saw him playing with his telephone. She was angry. She said, "That's my telephone, not yours! Give it to me, now!" She grabbed the telephone from Tom's hand and ran away.
+
+Tom was sad and mad. He wanted his telephone back. He thought Lisa was very rude. She did not ask him nicely. She did not share. She did not care about his feelings. He started to cry.
+
+He ran to his mom and told her what happened. His mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Lisa was wrong to take your telephone. She should have asked you first. She should have been kind. I will talk to her and make her give it back to you. You are a good boy, Tom. You can play with your telephone as much as you want." She kissed him and smiled.
+
+Tom felt better. He thanked his mom and waited for his telephone. He hoped Lisa would say sorry and be nice to him. He hoped Sam would still want to play ball with him. He hoped his telephone was not broken. He loved his telephone. It was his favorite toy.
+Tim and Sue like to play in the garden. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls and books. They also have a vest. The vest is red and blue. It is Tim's vest. He likes to wear it when he plays.
+
+One day, they find a hole in the garden. It is a big hole. They wonder what is in the hole. They look inside. They see nothing. It is dark and empty. They are fearful. They think there might be a monster in the hole.
+
+They have an idea. They want to bury the hole. They think the monster will not come out if the hole is buried. They get their toys. They throw them in the hole. They throw cars, dolls, balls and books. They also throw the vest. Tim does not want to wear it anymore. He thinks the monster might like it.
+
+They get a shovel. They dig some dirt. They put the dirt on the hole. They bury the hole. They bury the toys. They bury the vest. They are happy. They think they are safe.
+
+They go inside. They have some juice. They have some cookies. They forget about the hole. They forget about the toys. They forget about the vest. They do not know that the hole is not really a hole. It is a tunnel. It is a tunnel that leads to the other side of the garden. It is a tunnel that belongs to a rabbit. The rabbit is not a monster. The rabbit is friendly. The rabbit likes to play with toys. The rabbit likes to wear vests. The rabbit is happy. He has new friends. He has cars, dolls, balls and books. He also has a vest. It is a red and blue vest. It is Tim's vest. He likes to wear it when he plays.
+Tommy liked to question everything. He always asked his mom and dad why the sky was blue, why the grass was green, why the dog barked, and why the cat meowed. He wanted to learn about the world.
+
+One day, he found a caterpillar on a leaf. He picked it up and looked at it. It was fuzzy and had many legs. It moved slowly and curled up when he touched it. He wondered what it was and what it did.
+
+He ran to his mom and showed her the caterpillar. "Mom, what is this?" he asked. "This is a caterpillar, Tommy," his mom said. "It is a kind of bug that eats leaves and grows bigger. Then it makes a cocoon and changes into a butterfly."
+
+"A butterfly?" Tommy said. "How does it do that?" He wanted to see the caterpillar change. He asked his mom if he could keep it. His mom said yes, but he had to be very careful and obedient. He had to give the caterpillar fresh leaves every day and not hurt it or lose it.
+
+Tommy agreed and put the caterpillar in a jar with some holes and some leaves. He named it Fuzzy and watched it every day. He saw it eat and grow and make a cocoon. He waited and waited for it to become a butterfly. He was very excited and curious. He asked his mom every day when it would happen. His mom said he had to be patient and wait for the right time.
+
+One morning, Tommy woke up and saw that the jar was empty. He was scared and sad. He thought he had lost Fuzzy. He ran to his mom and cried. His mom hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Tommy. Look outside the window." Tommy looked and saw a beautiful butterfly flying in the garden. It had bright colors and wings. It was Fuzzy. He had changed. Tommy was amazed and happy. He smiled and said, "Wow, mom. Fuzzy is a butterfly. He is so pretty. Can I go and play with him?" His mom said yes, but he had to be gentle and respectful. He had to let Fuzzy be free and not catch him or hurt him.
+
+Tommy nodded and ran outside. He followed Fuzzy and said hello. He thanked him for being his friend and teaching him something new. He asked him many questions and Fuzzy answered with his wings. They played and had fun. Tommy learned a lot from Fuzzy. He was a good and obedient boy. He loved Fuzzy and Fuzzy loved him. They were happy.
+Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big tree with thick branches and green leaves. They want to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+"Can we climb the tree, please?" Mia asks Ben.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The tree is very high and the branches are very thick. We have to hold on tight and not fall," Ben says.
+
+They start to climb the tree. They use their hands and feet to find the best places to grip. They go higher and higher. They feel the wind and the sun on their faces. They are happy.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a big truck that is coming to the park. The truck is very fast and very loud. It does not stop for the red light. It does not yield for the people and the cars. It is dangerous.
+
+"Look, Ben, look! A big truck!" Mia shouts.
+
+"Quick, Mia, quick! We have to get down! The truck is bad! It can hurt us and the tree and the life in the park!" Ben shouts.
+
+They start to climb down the tree. They are scared and hurry. They do not want the truck to hit them or the tree. They want to be safe and protect the life in the park.
+
+They reach the ground and run to their mom. She is waiting for them on a bench. She sees the truck and the red light and the people and the cars. She is angry and worried.
+
+"Ben, Mia, are you OK? That was a very bad truck! It did not yield for anyone! It could have caused a big crash! You are lucky you were in the tree and not on the road!" she says.
+
+"We are OK, mom. We climbed the tree and saw the sky. But then we saw the truck and we climbed down. We were scared, mom. We wanted to save the tree and the life in the park," Ben says.
+
+"You did well, Ben. You and Mia are very brave and smart. You love the tree and the life in the park. You know how to yield and share and care. I am proud of you, Ben. I am proud of you, Mia," she says.
+
+She hugs them and kisses them. They hug her and kiss her. They are happy. They are safe. They are a family.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toy boat. They would sail it in the bathtub, in the pond, or in the pool. They pretended to be pirates or explorers, and had many adventures.
+
+One day, they found a bottle of perfume in their mom's room. It smelled nice, like flowers and candy. They thought it would be fun to spray some on their boat, to make it smell like a real ship.
+
+But when they sprayed the perfume, something scary happened. The boat started to fizz and bubble, and then it grew bigger and bigger. It was too big for the bathtub, and it pushed Lily and Ben out of the water. They screamed and ran out of the bathroom, wet and scared.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the huge boat in the bathtub, and the perfume bottle on the floor. She was angry and shocked. She asked Lily and Ben what they had done, and why they had used her perfume.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry, and that they just wanted to play with their boat. They didn't know the perfume would make it grow. They asked Mom to help them make the boat small again.
+
+Mom sighed and hugged them. She said she loved them, but they should never touch her things without asking. She said they would have to find a way to fix the boat, and to clean the bathroom. She said they would have to learn from their mistake, and to be more careful next time.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they wanted to find something new. They saw a shelf high on the wall, with some books and a box. The box was hidden behind the books, and it looked very interesting.
+
+"Let's see what's in the box!" Lily said. She climbed on a chair and reached for the shelf. Ben followed her and helped her move the books. They took the box and opened it. Inside, they found a shiny ball, a soft bear, and a funny hat.
+
+"Wow, these are cool!" Ben said. He put on the hat and bounced the ball. Lily hugged the bear and smiled. They played with the box's things for a while, and forgot about the books and the shelf.
+
+But then, they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She came in and saw the mess. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. "Did you take the box from the shelf?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt bad. They knew they did something wrong.
+
+"Yes, mom, we did," Lily said. "We were curious. We wanted to see what was in it."
+
+Mom sighed. She picked up the box and the books. She put them back on the shelf.
+
+"This box is not for you," she said. "It belongs to your grandma. She gave it to me before she went to heaven. It has her things that she loved. You should not poke it or play with it. You should respect it and leave it alone."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not know the box was so special. They did not mean to hurt mom or grandma.
+
+"We're sorry, mom," Ben said. "We won't touch the box again. We love you and grandma."
+
+Mom smiled. She hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"I love you too," she said. "I know you were curious, but you should always ask before you take something that is not yours. That is the right thing to do. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They learned a lesson. They said sorry again and helped mom clean the room. They played with their own toys and had fun. They were happy and good.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in their chamber. Their chamber has many toys and books and a big bed. But sometimes they fight over the toys and books. They do not like to share.
+
+One day, Ben sees a shiny car on the shelf. He wants to play with it. He climbs on the bed and reaches for the car. But Lily sees him and runs to the shelf. She wants the car too. She pulls the car from Ben's hand.
+
+"Mine!" Lily says. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, mine!" Ben says. "I want it!"
+
+They tug and pull the car. The car makes a noisy sound. Beep beep! Honk honk! They do not hear their mom calling them.
+
+Ben gets angry. He tries to take the car from Lily. Lily gets angry too. She bites Ben's arm. Ben cries out. He bites Lily's hair. Lily screams.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Stop!" they both say.
+
+Their mom hears them and comes to their chamber. She sees them biting each other and the noisy car on the floor. She is not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asks. "Why are you biting each other? That is not nice!"
+
+Ben and Lily let go of each other. They feel sorry. They say sorry to their mom and to each other. They hug and kiss.
+
+Their mom picks up the car and gives it to them. She tells them to share and play nicely. She turns off the noisy sound. She smiles and kisses them.
+
+Ben and Lily smile too. They take turns playing with the car. They do not fight anymore. They have fun in their chamber.
+Anna and Ben liked to play in the old house. They found many things to see and touch. They saw a big box with a button. Ben pushed the button and heard a voice.
+
+"Hello, this is a record. You can talk to me and I will talk back to you. Try it!"
+
+Ben was surprised. He said, "Hello, record. I am Ben. This is Anna. We are friends."
+
+The record said, "Hello, Ben. Hello, Anna. You are friends. That is nice."
+
+Anna wanted to try too. She said, "Hello, record. Do you like the old house?"
+
+The record said, "Hello, Anna. I like the old house. It is quiet and cozy. I have many friends here. They are cobwebs."
+
+Anna and Ben looked around. They saw many cobwebs on the walls and ceiling. They were white and sticky. They had spiders in them.
+
+Anna said, "Cobwebs are your friends? They are scary. They have spiders. Spiders can bite."
+
+The record said, "Cobwebs are not scary. They are beautiful. They catch the sun and the dust. Spiders are not mean. They are busy and clever. They make the cobwebs. They are my friends too."
+
+Anna and Ben thought about it. They had never seen cobwebs and spiders like that. They said, "Maybe you are right. Maybe cobwebs and spiders are not so bad. Maybe they are beautiful and clever. You are a good record. You are honest. You tell us new things."
+
+The record said, "Thank you, Anna. Thank you, Ben. You are good too. You are honest. You listen to me. You are my friends too."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to walk to school together. They talk about many things. They talk about their toys, their pets, their families, and their dreams.
+
+One day, they see a new boy in their class. His name is Sam. He looks different from them. He has a big wheelchair. He cannot walk. He has a helper who pushes his wheelchair.
+
+Lily and Ben are curious. They want to know more about Sam. They go to him and say hello.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. This is Ben. What is your name?" Lily asks.
+
+"Hi, I'm Sam. Nice to meet you." Sam says.
+
+"Why do you have a wheelchair?" Ben asks.
+
+"Because my legs don't work well. I was born like this. It's normal for me." Sam says.
+
+"Oh, I see. Does it hurt?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, it doesn't hurt. I can do many things with my wheelchair. I can go fast, I can spin, I can play games." Sam says.
+
+"Wow, that sounds fun. Can you teach us how to use your wheelchair?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, I can teach you. It's easy. You just need to push the handles and steer the wheels. Do you want to try?" Sam asks.
+
+"Yes, please. Can we take turns?" Lily asks.
+
+"Of course. Come on, let's go to the playground. We can have fun together." Sam says.
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They follow Sam and his helper to the playground. They learn how to use his wheelchair. They play with him and his wheelchair. They have a lot of fun. They make a new friend. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they find a big slide. They want to go down the slide very fast.
+
+Anna goes first. She seats on the slide and holds on tight. She slides down and laughs. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She thinks the slide is brilliant.
+
+Ben goes next. He seats on the slide and pushes off. He slides down and smiles. He feels the speed and the fun. He thinks the slide is brilliant too.
+
+But then, Ben feels something on his leg. He looks down and sees a red spot. He feels an itch. He scratches his leg, but the itch does not go away. He feels more itches on his arms and his neck. He sees more red spots. He feels bad.
+
+Anna sees Ben and runs to him. She asks him what is wrong. He tells her he has itches and red spots. She looks at him and says he has a rash. She remembers her mom told her a rash is when your skin is angry and needs medicine.
+
+Anna tells Ben they need to go to his mom and get some medicine. She helps him get up and holds his hand. They walk to the bench where his mom is. They tell her what happened. His mom looks at his rash and says he is allergic to something. She gives him some medicine and a hug. She says he will be better soon.
+
+Anna and Ben sit on the bench and wait for the medicine to work. They talk about the slide and how brilliant it was. They hope they can play on it again. They are still best friends.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a cricket on the grass. Tim wanted to catch it and put it in a jar. Sam said, "No, that is bad. The cricket wants to be free and sing. You should not hurt it."
+
+But Tim did not listen to Sam. He ran after the cricket and grabbed it with his hand. He put it in a jar and closed the lid. He was happy and said, "Look, I have a cricket. It is mine. I will show it to Mom and Dad."
+
+Sam was sad and angry. He said, "You are bad, Tim. You are not nice to the cricket. It is scared and sad. It cannot breathe and sing. You should let it go."
+
+But Tim did not listen to Sam. He carried the jar to the house. He wanted to show his parents his cricket. But when he got to the door, he tripped and fell. The jar broke and the cricket flew away. Tim cried and said, "Oh no, my cricket. It is gone. I want it back."
+
+Sam came to Tim and said, "I am sorry, Tim. But you should have listened to me. You should not have caught the cricket. It is not a toy. It is a living thing. You should be kind and gentle to all living things. That is good."
+
+Tim nodded and said, "You are right, Sam. I was bad. I am sorry. I will not catch crickets again. I will watch them and listen to them. I will be good."
+
+Sam hugged Tim and said, "It is okay, Tim. I forgive you. I love you. You are my brother. Come on, let's go and play."
+
+They went back to the grass and played. They saw many crickets and other bugs. They did not catch them. They watched them and listened to them. They learned from them. They were happy and good.
+Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play in the yard. One day, they find a big box of junk. They open the box and see many things. Some things are shiny, some things are soft, some things are broken.
+
+"Look, Sam, a hat!" Mia says. She puts a hat on her head. It is too big for her. It falls over her eyes.
+
+"Look, Mia, a spoon!" Sam says. He picks up a spoon. It is very dirty. He puts it in his mouth.
+
+"Yuck, Sam, don't do that!" Mia says. She pulls the spoon out of his mouth. "That is junk. It does not taste good."
+
+Sam spits out the junk. He makes a face. "You are right, Mia. That is bad. It tastes like dirt and metal."
+
+Mia gives him a hug. "It's okay, Sam. Let's find something else to play with. Something that is not junk."
+
+They look in the box again. They see a ball, a book, a doll, and a car. They smile. They take them out of the box. They play with them in the yard. They have fun.
+
+They are happy. They are strong. They are twins.
+One day, a big bear and a small mouse were friends. They liked to play and share in the forest. They were polite to each other and to other animals.
+
+But one day, they found a big cake on a rock. It smelled good and looked yummy. The bear and the mouse both wanted to eat the cake.
+
+"Let us share the cake," the mouse said. "You can have half and I can have half."
+
+But the bear was greedy. He wanted to have the whole cake for himself. He said, "No, I am bigger and stronger than you. I need more cake than you. The cake is mine."
+
+He tried to grab the cake from the rock, but the mouse was quick. He ran to the other side of the cake and bit a piece. The bear was angry. He roared and pulled the cake hard. The mouse did not let go. He pulled the cake too.
+
+They pulled and pulled until the cake tore in two. The bear and the mouse each had a piece of cake, but it was not a nice piece. It was messy and crumbly. The cake did not taste good anymore.
+
+They looked at each other and felt sad. They had been rude and selfish. They had torn the cake and their friendship.
+
+They said, "We are sorry. We should have been polite and shared the cake. We do not want to fight. We want to be friends."
+
+They hugged and forgave each other. They decided to give their pieces of cake to other animals who were hungry. They learned a lesson. They learned that sharing is better than tearing. They learned that being polite is better than being greedy. They learned that friendship is the best cake of all.
+Lily liked to draw pictures with her crayons. She drew her family, her friends, her toys and her pets. She drew what she saw and what she dreamed. She had a big wish: she wanted to be a famous artist.
+
+One day, her teacher said they would have a special guest in the class. She said he was a famous artist too, and he would show them his pictures and teach them some tricks. Lily was very excited. She wanted to meet him and show him her pictures.
+
+The special guest came to the class. He had a big smile and a big bag. He said hello to the teacher and the children. He said his name was Sam. He opened his bag and took out some pictures. He said he would reveal them one by one. He said they were his best pictures ever.
+
+He revealed the first picture. It was a picture of a sun. It was yellow and bright. The children clapped and said it was pretty. He revealed the second picture. It was a picture of a moon. It was white and round. The children clapped and said it was pretty. He revealed the third picture. It was a picture of a star. It was blue and shiny. The children clapped and said it was pretty.
+
+He revealed the fourth picture. It was a picture of Lily. It was colorful and detailed. It looked just like her. Lily gasped and said it was her. The children clapped and said it was amazing. Sam smiled and said it was his favorite picture. He said he saw Lily drawing with her crayons one day, and he liked her style. He said he wanted to draw her as a gift. He said he thought she was a very talented artist. He said he hoped she would keep drawing and make her wish come true.
+
+Lily was very happy. She thanked Sam and hugged him. She said he was very kind and generous. She said he was her favorite artist. She said he made her wish come true. She said she would keep drawing and learn from him. She said she wanted to be a famous artist like him.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see many flowers in the park. They see roses, daisies, and poppies. Lily likes poppies. She thinks they are pretty and red.
+
+"Look, Ben, poppies!" Lily says. She runs to the poppies. She wants to pick one.
+
+"No, Lily, stop!" Ben says. He runs after her. He knows the poppies are not for picking. They are for looking. "The poppies are not ours. They belong to the park. If we pick them, they will die."
+
+But Lily does not listen. She is lively and curious. She reaches for a poppy. She wants to smell it and touch it.
+
+"Please, Lily, don't!" Ben says. He tries to stop her. He grabs her hand. He pulls her away from the poppy.
+
+But Lily is strong. She pulls back. She wants the poppy. She does not want to share. She does not want to listen.
+
+They tug and pull. They shout and cry. They make a lot of noise. They do not see the bee.
+
+The bee is on the poppy. The bee is busy and happy. The bee does not like noise. The bee does not like tugging and pulling. The bee is angry.
+
+The bee flies to Lily and Ben. The bee stings Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben feel pain. They let go of the poppy. They run away from the bee. They run to their mommies.
+
+Their mommies hug them and kiss them. Their mommies put ice on their stings. Their mommies tell them to be careful and gentle. Their mommies tell them to say sorry and be friends.
+
+Lily and Ben say sorry. They hug and kiss. They are friends again. They learn their lesson. They do not pick the poppies. They look at them and smile. They succeed in being good and kind.
+Tom and his wife Anna lived in a small house near the forest. They were humble and happy. They liked to grow flowers and vegetables in their garden. Sometimes they went for walks in the forest and picked berries and nuts.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna decided to visit their friend Ben, who lived on the other side of the forest. They packed some bread and cheese and a basket of flowers for Ben. They said goodbye to their cat and dog and started walking.
+
+On the way, they saw a big river. They had to cross it on a wooden bridge. But the bridge was old and broken. Some planks were missing and some were loose. Tom said to Anna, "Be careful, wife. The bridge is not safe. Hold my hand and walk slowly."
+
+Anna nodded and held Tom's hand. They stepped on the bridge and tried to avoid the gaps. But when they reached the middle of the bridge, a plank cracked under Anna's foot. She screamed and fell into the water. Tom quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her up. He wrapped his arms around her and said, "Don't worry, wife. I have you. I will carry you to the other side."
+
+Tom carried Anna across the bridge and set her down on the grass. He checked if she was hurt. She was wet and cold, but not injured. She smiled and hugged Tom. She said, "Thank you, husband. You are brave and strong. You saved me."
+
+Tom kissed her and said, "You are welcome, wife. You are sweet and kind. I love you."
+
+They dried themselves with their clothes and ate their bread and cheese. They gave their basket of flowers to Ben, who was happy to see them. They told him what happened on the bridge. He said, "You are lucky, Tom and Anna. You have each other. You are humble and happy."
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big fly buzzing around a flower. They wanted to catch it and put it in a jar.
+
+"Look, a fly!" Anna said. "Let's get it!"
+
+"OK!" Ben said. They ran after the fly, but it was too fast and flew away.
+
+They chased the fly all over the garden, but they could not catch it. They got very tired and thirsty. They saw a glass of water on the table.
+
+"Let's drink some water!" Ben said.
+
+"OK!" Anna said. They drank the water and felt better.
+
+They looked at the fly again. It was still flying around the flower, but it looked peaceful and happy.
+
+"Maybe we should leave the fly alone," Anna said. "It likes the flower and does not want to be in a jar."
+
+"You are right," Ben said. "The fly is not a toy. It is a living thing. We should be kind to it."
+
+They smiled and waved at the fly. The fly buzzed and flew away.
+
+Anna and Ben learned a lesson. They learned that they should not bother things that are not theirs. They learned that they should respect nature and its creatures. They learned that being peaceful is better than being greedy.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and balls and books. One day, they saw a big sign in the park. The sign said: "Magic Show Today! Only 5 money to see!"
+
+Tim and Sam wanted to see the magic show. They ran to their moms and asked for 5 money each. Their moms gave them the money and told them to be careful and have fun.
+
+They went to the park and gave their money to a man with a hat and a cape. He said: "Welcome to the magic show! You will see amazing and unusual things!" He took them to a big tent with many chairs. Tim and Sam sat in the front row.
+
+The man with the hat and the cape did many tricks. He made a rabbit appear from his hat. He made a flower change colors. He made a coin disappear and reappear. Tim and Sam clapped and cheered. They liked the magic show.
+
+But then, the man with the hat and the cape did something bad. He said: "For my final trick, I need a volunteer from the audience. Who wants to help me?" He pointed at Tim. Tim was excited and raised his hand. He went to the stage.
+
+The man with the hat and the cape said: "Thank you, Tim. You are very brave. Now, I need you to give me your money. I will make it double with my magic." Tim trusted the man and gave him his money. The man put the money in his pocket and said: "Now, watch closely. I will say the magic words and your money will double." He waved his hands and said: "Abracadabra!"
+
+But nothing happened. The man with the hat and the cape laughed and said: "Sorry, Tim. There is no magic. I tricked you. I have your money and you have nothing. Goodbye!" He ran away with the money.
+
+Tim was sad and angry. He cried and shouted. Sam ran to him and hugged him. He said: "I'm sorry, Tim. That man was bad. He lied to you. He stole your money. You should not trust strangers. You should be careful with your money."
+
+Tim nodded and said: "You are right, Sam. I was silly. I should have listened to you. You did not give your money to the man. You were smart. You saved your money. Can you share your money with me?"
+
+Sam smiled and said: "Of course, Tim. You are my best friend. I will share my money with you. But next time, we should not go to see magic shows. We should do something else. Something fun and safe. Something that does not cost money."
+
+Tim agreed and said: "Yes, Sam. You are a good friend. You always recommend good things. Next time, we should play with our cars and balls and books. They are fun and safe and free."
+
+They hugged and went back to their moms. They told them what happened. Their moms were sorry and angry. They said: "We are glad you are okay. That man was bad. He should not trick and steal from children. We will call the police and tell them. Maybe they will catch him and get your money back."
+
+Tim and Sam thanked their moms and said: "We learned a lesson today. We should not trust strangers. We should be careful with our money. We should listen to our friends. They recommend good things."
+
+The end.
+One day, Tom and Anna went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and monkeys. They wanted to see the gorilla, but they could not find him. He was hiding in his house.
+
+"Where is the gorilla?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's search for him," Anna said.
+
+They walked around the gorilla's house, looking for a sign of him. They heard a loud roar from inside. They got scared and ran to their mom.
+
+"Mom, the gorilla is roaring!" Tom said.
+
+"Don't worry, he is just saying hello. He is not angry," mom said.
+
+She took them to a window, where they could see the gorilla. He was big and black, with a funny face. He saw them and smiled. He waved his hand at them.
+
+"Look, he is waving at us!" Anna said.
+
+"Hello, gorilla!" Tom said.
+
+The gorilla nodded his head and made a funny sound. He seemed glad to see them.
+
+Tom and Anna smiled back. They were glad to see the gorilla too. They liked the zoo and the animals. They had a fun day.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the pretty flowers and the insects. She saw a big bee on a yellow flower. She wanted to touch it.
+
+"Can I touch the bee, Mommy?" she asked.
+
+"No, Lily, don't touch the bee. The bee can sting you and it will hurt. Repeat after me: don't touch the bee," Mommy said.
+
+"Don't touch the bee," Lily repeated.
+
+But Lily did not listen to Mommy. She was curious and brave. She reached out her hand to touch the bee. The bee did not like that. The bee stung Lily on her finger. Lily cried out loud.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Mommy, the bee stung me! It hurts!" she sobbed.
+
+Mommy ran to Lily and hugged her. She took her inside the house. She put some ice on her finger. She gave her a kiss and a band-aid.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, you have a boo-boo. You should have listened to Mommy. The bee was not a toy. It was a living insect. It was scared and angry when you touched it. That's why it stung you. Next time, don't touch the bee, okay?" Mommy said.
+
+"Okay, Mommy. I'm sorry. I won't touch the bee again. I learned my lesson. Don't touch the bee," Lily repeated.
+
+But Lily's finger still hurt. She was sad and mad. She did not like the bee. She did not like the garden. She did not like the pretty flowers and the insects. She wished she had never touched the bee. She wished she had listened to Mommy. She wished she had a happy ending.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. There was a big maze made of tall green plants. Lily and Tom wanted to try it.
+
+"Let's go in the maze and find the way out!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, but don't get lost!" Tom said.
+
+They ran into the maze and followed the paths. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They had fun.
+
+But after a while, they got tired and confused. They did not know where they were. They did not see their mom and dad. They did not see the exit. They felt uncomfortable.
+
+"I hate this maze!" Lily said. "It is too hard and scary!"
+
+"I hate it too!" Tom said. "It is too long and boring!"
+
+They started to cry. They wanted to go home.
+
+Then they heard a voice. It was their mom.
+
+"Lily! Tom! Where are you?" she called.
+
+"Mom! We are here!" Lily and Tom shouted.
+
+They followed the voice and saw their mom. She was standing at the exit. She smiled and hugged them.
+
+"I'm so glad you are safe!" she said. "I was worried about you!"
+
+"Sorry, mom. We got lost in the maze. We hate it!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+"It's OK, sweeties. The maze is not for everyone. Next time, we can do something else. How about the swings?" mom said.
+
+"Yes, please! We love the swings!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+They left the maze and went to the swings. They felt happy and comfortable. They forgot about the maze. They played with their mom and dad. They had fun.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the field near their house. The field has many flowers and grass. Sometimes they see rabbits and birds.
+
+One day, they see smoke in the field. They run to see what is happening. They see a big fire. The fire is burning the flowers and the grass. They are scared and sad.
+
+"Who did this?" Tom asks. "Why did they make a fire?"
+
+"I don't know," Sue says. "Maybe someone was bad and wanted to hurt the field."
+
+They hear a voice behind them. It is Ben, another boy from their street. He is holding a box of matches. He looks guilty and afraid.
+
+"Ben, did you make the fire?" Tom asks. He is angry and brave.
+
+Ben nods. He is honest, but he is also foolish. He says, "I wanted to see what would happen. I didn't mean to burn the whole field. I'm sorry."
+
+Tom and Sue are still angry, but they are also kind. They say, "You should not play with matches. They are dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. You should tell your mom and dad what you did. They will be mad, but they will also help you."
+
+Ben agrees. He says, "You are right. I will tell them. I hope they will forgive me. And I hope the field will grow back."
+
+Tom and Sue say, "We hope so, too. And we hope you will not do this again. We are your friends, but we don't like what you did."
+
+They walk with Ben to his house. They hope the fire will stop soon. They hope the field will be beautiful again. They hope Ben will learn his lesson.
+Sara and Ben were going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They were very happy because they were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Sara had a big suitcase with her toys and books. Ben had a small backpack with his teddy bear and crayons.
+
+But when they got to the airport, they saw a lot of people and cars. They had to wait in a long line to check in their bags. Sara and Ben were bored and tired. They wanted to go on the plane.
+
+"Mom, when are we going to fly?" Sara asked.
+
+"Soon, honey, soon. We just have to be patient and follow the rules," Mom said.
+
+"Can I have a snack?" Ben asked.
+
+"Not now, sweetie, not now. We have to go through security first," Dad said.
+
+Sara and Ben sighed. They did not like the airport. It was noisy and crowded and slow.
+
+They finally got to the security checkpoint. They had to take off their shoes and jackets and put them in a bin. They had to walk through a metal detector. They had to wait for their bags to come out of a machine.
+
+But something was wrong. Ben's backpack did not come out. A man in a uniform took it and opened it. He took out Ben's teddy bear and looked at it.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Ben cried. He ran to the man and tried to grab his teddy bear.
+
+"Stop, stop, you can't do that!" the man said. He held the teddy bear high above Ben's head.
+
+"Please, give it back, please!" Ben begged. He jumped and reached for his teddy bear.
+
+"Sorry, kid, but this teddy bear has a problem. It has a hole in its ear and some stuffing is coming out. It could be dangerous. I have to check it," the man said.
+
+Ben started to cry. He loved his teddy bear. He had it since he was a baby. He slept with it every night. He hugged it when he was sad or scared. He called it Mr. Fluffy.
+
+"Please, don't hurt Mr. Fluffy, please!" Ben sobbed.
+
+Sara saw her brother crying. She felt sorry for him. She walked to the man and said, "Please, sir, can you be nice to Mr. Fluffy? He is very important to Ben. He is his best friend. He needs him to feel safe and happy."
+
+The man looked at Sara. He saw her big eyes and her sweet smile. He felt a little sorry for her too. He said, "Okay, okay, I'll be nice to Mr. Fluffy. But I still have to check him. It's my job. You understand, right?"
+
+Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, I understand. But can you be quick? And can you heal Mr. Fluffy's ear? He has a boo-boo and it hurts."
+
+The man smiled. He said, "Sure, sure, I can do that. I have some tape and scissors here. I can fix Mr. Fluffy's ear. It will be like new."
+
+He took some tape and scissors and cut a small piece of tape. He put it over the hole in Mr. Fluffy's ear. He pressed it gently and smoothed it. He said, "There, there, Mr. Fluffy is all healed. He is good to go."
+
+He gave Mr. Fluffy back to Ben. Ben hugged Mr. Fluffy and said, "Thank you, thank you, sir. You are very nice. You are a good doctor."
+
+The man laughed. He said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, kid. You are very brave. You are a good owner."
+
+He gave Ben his backpack and said, "Now, you can go on the plane. Have a good trip. And take good care of Mr. Fluffy."
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "I will, I will. Bye, bye, sir."
+
+He ran to Mom and Dad and showed them Mr. Fluffy's ear. He said, "Look, look, Mr. Fluffy is healed. The man fixed him. He is a hero."
+
+Mom and Dad smiled. They said, "That's wonderful, Ben. We're very proud of you. And we're very grateful to the man. He was very kind and helpful."
+
+They thanked the man and went to the gate. They boarded the plane and found their seats. Sara and Ben sat next to the window. They looked at the sky and the clouds. They were excited to see Grandma and Grandpa. They were happy to have each other and Mr. Fluffy. They were persistent and patient and brave. They were ready for their adventure.
+Lila had a hurt foot. She stepped on a sharp rock and it made a cut. It was red and sore and she cried. Mama put a band-aid on it and gave her a hug. She said it would heal soon.
+
+Lila wanted to play with her friends, but she had to stay inside. She was bored and sad. She looked out the window and saw the corn field. She liked the corn. It was tall and yellow and tasty. She wished she could go and pick some.
+
+Then she had an idea. She got her toy wagon and put a pillow in it. She asked Mama if she could go to the corn field. Mama said yes, but she had to be careful. Lila smiled and put her hurt foot on the pillow. She pulled the wagon with her good foot.
+
+She went to the corn field and saw her friends. They were happy to see her. They helped her pick some corn. They put it in her wagon. They said her wagon was great. Lila felt great too. Her foot did not hurt so much. She had fun with her friends and the corn. She thanked them and went back to Mama.
+
+Mama was proud of Lila. She said she was brave and smart. She cooked some corn for them. They ate it and it was yummy. Lila said it was the best corn ever. She gave Mama a kiss. She said her foot was healing. She was happy.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. They saw a big green plant with spikes. It was a cactus.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "It is so big and spiky. I wonder if it hurts."
+
+"Let's touch it and see," Lila said. She was curious and brave.
+
+They walked closer to the cactus. They reached out their hands. But before they could touch it, they heard a loud hiss. A snake was hiding behind the cactus. It was angry and scared.
+
+"Ah, a snake!" Lila and Ben screamed. They ran away from the cactus and the snake. They ran back to the house. They were safe and happy.
+
+"That was incredible!" Ben said. "We saw a cactus and a snake. They were both green and spiky. But the snake was more scary."
+
+"Yes, it was incredible," Lila agreed. "But I don't want to touch a cactus or a snake ever again. They are not nice to play with."
+
+They hugged each other and laughed. They learned something new today. They decided to play with something else. They liked to play in the garden. But they stayed away from the cactus and the snake. The end.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play together. One day, they want to go on a trip to the park. They ask their mom.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the park?" Sara says.
+
+"Yes, you can, but you need to do some things first," Mom says.
+
+"What things?" Tom asks.
+
+"You need to eat your breakfast, brush your teeth, and put on your shoes," Mom says.
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They eat their breakfast, brush their teeth, and put on their shoes. They are ready to go.
+
+"Mom, we are ready. Can we go now?" Sara says.
+
+"Yes, you can. But you need to listen to me," Mom says.
+
+"What do you say?" Tom asks.
+
+"You need to stay close to me, hold my hand, and look both ways before you cross the street," Mom says.
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They hold Mom's hand and walk to the park. They are excited.
+
+At the park, they see a big slide. They want to go on it.
+
+"Mom, can we go on the slide?" Sara says.
+
+"Yes, you can, but you need to wait your turn," Mom says.
+
+"What turn?" Tom asks.
+
+"You need to let the other kids go first, and then you can go," Mom says.
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They wait for the other kids to go. But Tom is impatient. He wants to go now.
+
+"Mom, I want to go now. I don't want to wait," Tom says.
+
+"Tom, you need to be patient. You need to wait your turn," Mom says.
+
+"But I want to go now. Now, now, now!" Tom says. He is persistent.
+
+"Tom, you need to stop. You need to be polite. You need to wait your turn," Mom says.
+
+Sara sees that Tom is making Mom unhappy. She wants to help.
+
+"Tom, look. The slide is fun. But you need to wait. It's not fair to the other kids. And it's not nice to Mom. Let's wait together. OK?" Sara says.
+
+Tom looks at Sara. He looks at the other kids. He looks at Mom. He thinks.
+
+"OK. I will wait. I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Sara. I will be patient," Tom says.
+
+Mom smiles. Sara smiles. Tom smiles. They wait their turn. Then they go on the slide. They have fun. They enjoy their trip to the park.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big pond with many geese. The geese are white and gray. They make loud noises.
+
+"Look, Sam, geese!" Tim says. He runs to the pond. He wants to feed the geese. He has some bread in his pocket.
+
+"Wait, Tim, be careful!" Sam says. He follows Tim. He knows that geese can bite. He does not want Tim to get hurt.
+
+Tim reaches the pond. He takes out some bread. He breaks it into small pieces. He throws the pieces to the geese. The geese swim to the bread. They eat the bread. They are happy.
+
+"Hello, geese!" Tim says. He smiles. He likes the geese. He wants to touch them. He reaches out his hand.
+
+"Quack, quack!" One goose says. It does not like Tim's hand. It snaps at Tim's hand. It bites Tim's finger.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim says. He pulls back his hand. He cries. His finger hurts. He is scared.
+
+"Tim, are you okay?" Sam says. He runs to Tim. He hugs Tim. He tries to make Tim feel better.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tim. The goose was mean. It did not want you to touch it. It wanted to eat the bread. You have to be careful with geese. They can bite." Sam says.
+
+Tim stops crying. He looks at his finger. It is red. It has a small mark. It does not bleed. He feels better.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. You helped me. I'm sorry I was not careful. I will not touch the geese again. I will only feed them." Tim says.
+
+Sam nods. He smiles. He gives Tim some more bread. They throw the bread to the geese. The geese eat the bread. They are happy.
+
+"Look, Tim, that goose is rolling!" Sam says. He points to a goose. The goose is on the grass. It is rolling on its back. It is having fun.
+
+"Wow, that goose is funny!" Tim says. He laughs. He forgets his finger. He watches the goose. The goose is rolling.
+
+Tim and Sam are happy. They like the park. They like the pond. They like the geese. They have a perfect day.
+Tom and Mia are playing with wood blocks. They like to build towers and bridges and houses. They have many colors of wood blocks: red, blue, yellow, green, and brown.
+
+"Look, Mia, I made a big tower!" Tom says. He shows Mia his tower of red and blue blocks. It is very tall and has a flag on top.
+
+"Wow, Tom, your tower is great!" Mia says. She claps her hands. "Can I help you make it bigger?"
+
+"Sure, Mia, you can help me," Tom says. He gives Mia some more blocks. "Let's put these on top of the tower."
+
+Mia and Tom work together to add more blocks to the tower. They are careful not to make it fall. They are having fun.
+
+But then, a big wind comes. It blows hard and makes a loud noise. It shakes the tower of blocks. Mia and Tom are scared.
+
+"Oh no, the wind is too strong!" Mia says. She holds Tom's hand.
+
+"Look out, Mia, the tower is going to fall!" Tom says. He pulls Mia away from the tower.
+
+The wind knocks down the tower of blocks. The blocks fly everywhere. Some of them hit the ground. Some of them hit the wall. Some of them hit the window. The flag falls off and folds in half.
+
+Mia and Tom are sad. They see their tower of blocks is gone. They worked hard to make it. They liked it a lot.
+
+"It's okay, Mia, don't cry," Tom says. He hugs Mia. "We can make another tower later. Maybe we can use some light blocks. They are not so heavy. The wind will not blow them away."
+
+"Okay, Tom, thank you," Mia says. She wipes her tears. "You are a good friend. I like to play with you."
+
+Mia and Tom smile. They pick up the blocks and put them in a box. They decide to play something else. They are still happy.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. Some are new and shiny, some are old and rusty.
+
+One day, they find a big box in the attic. Inside the box, there are many round things. They are coins. Some are gold, some are silver, some are bronze. They are ancient coins from long ago.
+
+"Wow, look at these!" Tim says. "They are so pretty and shiny!"
+
+"Let's play with them!" Sam says. "We can pretend they are wheels for our cars!"
+
+They take out the coins and start to attach them to their cars. They make them go vroom vroom on the floor.
+
+But soon, they start to argue. Tim wants the gold coins, Sam wants the silver coins. They both want the bronze coins. They pull and tug at the coins, trying to separate them from each other.
+
+"Stop it!" Tim says. "These are mine!"
+
+"No, they are mine!" Sam says. "You have enough!"
+
+They shout and cry. They make a big mess. The coins fly everywhere.
+
+Their mom hears the noise and comes to the attic. She sees the coins and the cars and the boys.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asks. "These are not toys! These are very old and valuable! You could damage them!"
+
+She picks up the coins and puts them back in the box. She tells the boys to apologize to each other and to share their toys.
+
+"Sorry, Tim," Sam says.
+
+"Sorry, Sam," Tim says.
+
+They hug and make up. They play with their cars again, but without the coins. They learn to respect the ancient things and to be nice to each other.
+Tom and Lily wanted to go to the zoo. They asked their mom to take them. Mom said yes, but they had to be good and do their chores first. Tom and Lily did their chores very fast. They cleaned their room, helped with the dishes, and fed the fish.
+
+Mom was happy and gave them each a ticket. The ticket had a picture of a lion on it. Tom and Lily were excited. They got in the car and drove to the zoo. They saw many animals on the way. They saw cows, horses, sheep, and pigs.
+
+When they got to the zoo, they gave their tickets to a man. The man smiled and let them in. Tom and Lily ran to see the lions. They were big and loud. They roared and played with each other. Tom and Lily liked the lions.
+
+But then, something strange happened. A big cloud of smoke appeared near the lion cage. It was smelly and made Tom and Lily cough. They covered their noses and looked around. They saw a man with a funny hat and a long coat. He had a bag in his hand. He was sneaking out of the zoo.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Tom shouted. "What are you doing?"
+
+The man turned and saw Tom and Lily. He looked scared and ran faster. He dropped his bag. The bag opened and something fell out. It was a baby lion. The baby lion was scared and cried.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the baby lion. They picked it up and hugged it. It was soft and warm. They heard the other lions roar. They were looking for their baby.
+
+"Mom, mom!" Tom and Lily called. "Look what we found!"
+
+Mom came and saw the baby lion. She was surprised and angry. She saw the man with the funny hat and the long coat. He was trying to get away. She called the zookeeper. The zookeeper came and caught the man. He was a bad man. He wanted to steal the baby lion and sell it.
+
+The zookeeper thanked Tom and Lily for being brave and smart. He took the baby lion back to its mom. The mom lion licked the baby lion and cuddled it. The baby lion was happy and safe. Tom and Lily waved goodbye to the lions. They were happy too.
+
+They had a great day at the zoo. They saw many other animals. They saw monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and penguins. They had ice cream and popcorn. They had fun.
+
+They went home and told their dad about their adventure. Dad was proud of them. He gave them a big hug and a kiss. He read them a story and tucked them in bed. Tom and Lily fell asleep with a smile. They dreamed of lions.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the lake with their moms. The lake is big and blue. It has fish and ducks and frogs.

+Lily and Ben have fun at the lake. They throw stones and watch them splash. They feed bread to the ducks and hear them quack. They look for frogs and try to catch them. They laugh and run and jump.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They hug their moms and say thank you. They are grateful for the lake and the animals and the sun. They are grateful for their moms and their friendship. They say goodbye to the lake and the ducks and the frogs. They go home and dream of playing again.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the park. One day, they see a big pond with many stones. They want to cross the pond by stepping on the stones.
+
+"Look, Ben, we can go to the other side!" Anna says. She is excited. She points to the stones.
+
+"OK, Anna, let's try. But be careful, don't fall in the water!" Ben says. He is excited too. He holds Anna's hand.
+
+They start to step on the stones. They hop from one stone to another. They count the stones as they go. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" Anna says.
+
+They reach the other side of the pond. They are happy. They see some ducks and flowers. They feed the ducks with some bread. They pick some flowers for their mom.

+
+They hug each other. They are happy. They step on the stones again to go back. They have fun. They love the park. They love each other.
+Sara loved her aunt. Her aunt was strong and kind. She could lift Sara up and make her laugh. She could also tell her stories and sing her songs. Sara always had fun with her aunt.
+
+One day, Sara's aunt had to go away. She had to work in a far place. Sara was sad. She did not want her aunt to leave. She hugged her aunt and said, "Please come back soon."
+
+Her aunt hugged her back and said, "I promise. I will come back soon. I will miss you a lot. You are my sweet Sara. Be good and have fun. I love you."
+
+Sara nodded and said, "I love you too. I promise. I will be good and have fun. But I will miss you a lot too."
+
+Her aunt kissed her and said, "Goodbye, Sara. I will call you and write to you. And I will bring you a surprise when I come back."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Goodbye, aunt. I will wait for you and your surprise. Have a good trip."
+
+Her aunt waved and got in the car. Sara waved back and watched her aunt drive away. She felt a tear in her eye, but she also felt a hope in her heart. She knew her aunt would keep her promise. She knew her aunt was strong and kind. She loved her aunt.
+Anna liked to paint with her spoon. She dipped it in the red paint and made lines on the paper. She dipped it in the blue paint and made dots. She dipped it in the yellow paint and made swirls. She was happy with her painting.
+
+She wanted to show it to her mom. She picked up the paper and ran to the kitchen. But she did not see the big dog that was sleeping on the floor. She tripped over the dog and fell down. The paper flew out of her hand and landed on the dog's face. The dog woke up and barked loudly.
+
+Anna was frightened. She screamed and cried. The dog was frightened too. He shook his head and tried to get the paper off. The paint smeared all over his fur. He looked funny.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Anna and the dog and the paint. She was surprised. She hugged Anna and calmed her down. She petted the dog and cleaned him up. She looked at the paper and smiled.
+
+"Anna, you made a beautiful painting," she said. "But next time, please use a brush, not a spoon. And watch out for the dog, okay?"
+
+Anna nodded. She was sorry for the mess. She was glad that mom and the dog were not angry. She gave them both a kiss. She still liked to paint with her spoon, but she did it more carefully.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to eat yogurt. They had many flavors of yogurt in the fridge, like strawberry, banana, and vanilla. But they always wanted more yogurt, even when they were not hungry.
+
+One day, their mom went to the store and bought some cheap yogurt. It was on sale, but it was not very good. It was sour and lumpy, and it had a funny smell. She put it in the fridge and told Tom and Lily not to eat it.
+
+But Tom and Lily did not listen. They saw the cheap yogurt and thought it was a new flavor. They opened it and took big spoons of it. They put it in their mouths and tried to chew it. But it was so bad that they spat it out. They made faces and said, "Yuck! This yogurt is gross!"
+
+Their mom heard them and came to the kitchen. She saw the cheap yogurt and the mess they made. She was angry and said, "I told you not to eat that yogurt! It is not good for you! It is cheap and old and bad! Why did you not listen to me?"
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry and said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not listen to you. We wanted more yogurt, but we did not look at it. We did not know it was cheap and old and bad. We will not do it again."
+
+Their mom said, "You should be more careful and respectful. You should not eat things that are not yours. You should not waste food and make a mess. You should be thankful for what you have. You should not be greedy and want more than you need."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "You are right, mom. We should be more careful and respectful. We should not eat things that are not ours. We should not waste food and make a mess. We should be thankful for what we have. We should not be greedy and want more than we need."
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "I love you, Tom and Lily. I want you to be healthy and happy. Next time, I will buy you some good yogurt that you like. But you have to promise me to listen to me and to share with each other."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged their mom and said, "We love you, mom. We want to be healthy and happy. We promise to listen to you and to share with each other."
+
+The end.
+Lily and Max were playing in the yard. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They poured water on the flowers, the grass and each other. They laughed and splashed and had fun.
+
+But then Lily saw the faucet on the wall. She wanted to turn it on and make more water. She ran to the faucet and tried to twist it. But it was too hard for her. She called Max to help her.
+
+Max came over and saw what Lily was doing. He shook his head. He did not want to turn on the faucet. He knew it was not a good idea. He said, "No, Lily, we have enough water. The faucet is for grown-ups. We might make a mess or waste water. Let's play with the bucket."
+
+But Lily was bossy. She did not listen to Max. She said, "I want to turn on the faucet. You have to help me. You are my brother. Do what I say."
+
+Max did not like when Lily was bossy. He felt angry and sad. He said, "No, Lily, you are not the boss of me. I don't have to do what you say. You are being mean. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+He took his cup and walked away. He found a shady spot under a tree and sat down. He felt tired and hot. He decided to rest for a while. He hoped Lily would stop being bossy and come to play with him again.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a huge dog near the fence. The dog was black and had a shiny collar. It looked like a guard dog.
+
+"Wow, look at that dog!" Ben said. "It is so big and strong. I want to pet it."
+
+Lila was scared. She did not like big dogs. She thought they might bite. She said, "No, Ben, don't go near the dog. It might be angry. It might not like us."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He wanted to see the dog. He stepped closer to the fence. He said, "Hi, doggy. You are so pretty. Can I touch you?"
+
+The dog heard Ben. It did not like strangers. It growled and barked. It showed its teeth. It jumped at the fence. It tried to get Ben.
+
+Lila screamed. She ran to Ben. She pulled him away from the fence. She said, "Ben, you are silly. The dog is not friendly. It is a guard dog. It wants to protect its home. We should leave it alone."
+
+Ben was scared. He saw the dog was angry. He said, "Sorry, doggy. I did not mean to bother you. You are a good guard dog. But you are too huge for me."
+
+Lila and Ben ran back to their mom. They told her about the dog. She hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are safe. Next time, be careful. Don't go near big dogs you don't know. They might be dangerous."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They played with their toys instead. They did not go near the fence again.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. Lily has a card with a big lion. Ben has a card with a small mouse.
+
+Ben wants to tease Lily. He says, "My mouse is better than your lion. My mouse is fast and smart. Your lion is slow and silly." He laughs and shows his card to Lily.
+
+Lily does not like Ben's tease. She feels sad and angry. She says, "No, your mouse is not better. My lion is strong and brave. Your mouse is weak and scared." She shows her card to Ben.
+
+Ben and Lily start to argue. They raise their voices and wave their cards. They do not listen to each other. They do not have fun.
+
+Mia is another friend. She sees Ben and Lily. She wants to help them. She has a card with a flower. She says, "Look, I have a flower. It is pretty and modest. It does not need to be better than anyone. It just grows and smiles. Can we all play with flowers?"
+
+Ben and Lily stop arguing. They look at Mia's card. They think it is nice. They say, "Yes, we can play with flowers. We are sorry for teasing. We are still friends." They smile and hug Mia. They take out more cards with flowers. They play and have fun.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to draw. She had many crayons and papers to make pictures. She liked to draw on the table in the kitchen, where her mom could see her.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to draw a big picture of a flower. She used many colors and made the flower very pretty. But she also made a big mess on the table. She drew outside the paper and left crayon marks on the wood.
+
+When she finished, she was very proud of her picture. She showed it to her mom and said, "Look, mom, I made a flower for you!"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily, it is very beautiful. But you also made a mess on the table. You have to be careful and not draw on the table. It is not good to ruin the table. It is not yours, it is ours."
+
+Lily felt bad. She did not mean to ruin the table. She said, "I'm sorry, mom, I did not know. I was just having fun. How can I fix it?"
+
+Her mom said, "It's okay, Lily, I know you did not know. But you have to learn to respect the things we have. You can fix it by helping me clean the table. And next time, you can use a big paper or a mat to protect the table."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom, I will help you. And I will use a big paper or a mat next time. I want to be a good girl and take care of our things."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "You are a good girl, Lily, and a wise one too. You learn from your mistakes and you listen to your mom. I love you very much."
+
+Lily hugged her back and said, "I love you too, mom. And I love our table. It is a nice table to draw on."
+
+The moral value of the story is: respect the things you have and learn from your mistakes.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys on the rug. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun and making noises.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Ben says.
+
+"My doll is pretty, she has a dress and a hat!" Sara says.
+
+They share their toys and show each other what they can do.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud bark. It is their dog, Rex, who wants to play too. He runs into the room and jumps on the rug. He knocks over the toys and licks Sara and Ben.
+
+"Rex, no, stop!" Sara and Ben shout. They try to push Rex away, but he is too big and strong. He wags his tail and barks again.
+
+Sara and Ben are scared and angry. They cry and hug each other. They want Rex to leave them alone.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes into the room. She sees Rex and the mess on the rug. She calls Rex and tells him to sit. Rex listens and sits. He looks at Mom with his big eyes.
+
+"Rex, you are a good dog, but you have to be calm and gentle when you play with Sara and Ben. They are small and you are big. You can hurt them or break their toys. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+Rex nods and whines. He is sorry. He wants to be a good dog.
+
+Mom picks up the toys and puts them back on the rug. She helps Sara and Ben to stand up and wipes their tears. She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+"Sara and Ben, are you okay? I'm sorry Rex scared you. He loves you and he just wanted to play. But he has to learn to be calm and gentle. Can you forgive him?" Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben look at Rex. He looks sad and sorry. He wags his tail and licks his lips. He wants to be their friend.
+
+Sara and Ben nod and smile. They forgive Rex. They love him too.
+
+They go to Rex and pet him. They tell him he is a good dog. They give him a toy to play with. Rex is happy. He plays with the toy and makes noises.
+
+Sara and Ben are happy too. They play with their toys and with Rex on the rug. They are having fun and making noises.
+
+Mom is happy too. She watches them and smiles. She is proud of them. They are calm and gentle.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many nuts on it. The nuts are brown and shiny. Anna and Ben think they are attractive.
+
+"Look, Ben, nuts!" Anna says. "I want to get one. Can you help me?"
+
+"OK, Anna, I will help you," Ben says. "But be careful. The tree is very tall and the nuts are very high."
+
+Anna and Ben find a big stick. They use the stick to hit the nuts. Some nuts fall down. Anna and Ben are happy. They pick up the nuts and put them in a bag.
+
+But one nut is still on the tree. It is the biggest and shiniest nut of all. Anna and Ben want to get it. They look for a way to reach it.
+
+"I have an idea," Anna says. "You can lean on the tree and I can climb on your back. Then I can grab the nut."
+
+"OK, Anna, let's try it," Ben says. "But be careful. Don't fall down."
+
+Ben leans on the tree and Anna climbs on his back. She stretches her arm and tries to grab the nut. But the nut is too far. Anna leans more and more. She almost has the nut.
+
+But then, something happens. The stick that Anna and Ben used to hit the nuts is still on the ground. A squirrel sees the stick and thinks it is a nut. The squirrel runs to the stick and bites it.
+
+The stick breaks. The squirrel is surprised. Anna and Ben are surprised too. The stick was holding the tree. The tree shakes. The nut falls down. Anna falls down too.
+
+"Ouch!" Anna says. "That hurt!"
+
+"Are you OK, Anna?" Ben says. He runs to Anna and helps her up.
+
+"I'm OK, Ben," Anna says. "But look, the nut!"
+
+Anna and Ben look at the nut. It is not a nut. It is a ball. A shiny brown ball. Someone put it on the tree as a joke.
+
+Anna and Ben laugh. They think it is funny. They don't want the ball. They have many nuts. They share the nuts with the squirrel. The squirrel is happy. Anna and Ben are happy too. They are still friends. They like to play in the park.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big rat near the slide. The rat has sharp teeth and a long tail. Tom and Sue are scared of the rat.
+
+"Go away, rat!" Tom says. He throws a stick at the rat. The rat does not go away. It runs towards Tom and Sue. Tom and Sue scream and run away.
+
+They hide behind a bench. They see the rat looking for them. The rat is angry and hungry. Tom and Sue are very scared.
+
+"Help, help!" Sue says. "Who will save us from the rat?"
+
+Then, they hear a bark. It is Max, the dog. Max is big and strong. He likes to play with Tom and Sue. He sees the rat and chases it. The rat is scared of Max. It runs away as fast as it can.
+
+Max comes back to Tom and Sue. He wags his tail and licks their faces. Tom and Sue are happy and safe. They hug Max and thank him.
+
+"Max, you are our hero!" Tom says. "You can keep the stick. It is your gift."
+
+Max barks and takes the stick. He is happy too. He likes to play with the stick. Tom and Sue play with Max. They forget about the rat. They have fun in the park.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the toy store with their moms. They see many toys. They see cars, dolls, balls, and books. But they like one toy the most. It is a big tank. It can move and make noise.
+
+"Wow, look at the tank!" Tim says. "It is so cool! Can we have it, mom?"
+
+"I want it too!" Sam says. "It is so fun! Can we have it, mom?"
+
+Their moms look at the tank. It is very expensive. They shake their heads.
+
+"Sorry, boys, the tank is too much money," Tim's mom says. "We can buy something else."
+
+"Maybe next time," Sam's mom says. "Let's find another toy."
+
+Tim and Sam are sad. They really want the tank. They watch the tank for a long time. They wish they could play with it.
+
+Then, they see a boy. He is older than them. He has a lot of money. He goes to the tank. He smiles. He gives the money to the man. The man gives him the tank. The boy is happy. He holds the tank. He walks away.
+
+Tim and Sam are angry. They think the boy is mean. They want to take the tank from him. They run after him. They shout at him.
+
+"Hey, give us the tank!" Tim says. "That is our tank!"
+
+"Yeah, give it back!" Sam says. "You are not nice!"
+
+The boy is surprised. He does not know Tim and Sam. He thinks they are silly. He laughs at them. He says:
+
+"Go away, you little kids! This is my tank! I bought it with my money! You can't have it!"
+
+He pushes them away. He runs to his mom. He shows her the tank. She smiles. She says:
+
+"What a nice tank, son! You are very lucky!"
+
+Tim and Sam are embarrassed. They feel silly. They did not buy the tank. They can't have it. They look at their moms. Their moms are not happy. They are angry. They say:
+
+"Tim, Sam, what are you doing? That is not your tank! That is his tank! You can't take it from him! That is rude!"
+
+They take Tim and Sam by the hand. They walk away. They say:
+
+"We are sorry, boy. We are sorry, mom. Our boys are not well-behaved. They need to learn to share and be polite."
+
+The boy and his mom say:
+
+"It's okay. We understand. Kids can be naughty sometimes. But they need to know better. They need to say sorry and be nice."
+
+Tim and Sam feel bad. They know they did wrong. They look at the boy and his mom. They say:
+
+"We are sorry, boy. We are sorry, mom. We were not nice. We wanted your tank. But it is yours. You bought it. We can't have it. We hope you enjoy it."
+
+The boy and his mom say:
+
+"Thank you, boys. We accept your apology. We hope you find another toy. Maybe you can play with us sometime. We can share the tank. It is more fun to play together."
+
+Tim and Sam smile. They say:
+
+"Thank you, boy. Thank you, mom. That is very kind of you. We would like to play with you sometime. We can share the tank. You are right. It is more fun to play together."
+
+They hug and say goodbye. They go to find another toy. They learn a lesson. They learn to be nice and share. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tommy was a little boy who liked to chew on everything. He chewed on his toys, his clothes, his books, and even his hair. His mom and dad told him to stop chewing on things that were not food, but he did not listen. He thought it was fun and tasty to chew on anything he could find.
+
+One day, Tommy found a big orange ball in the park. He thought it looked like a yummy orange fruit, so he picked it up and put it in his mouth. He started to chew on the ball, but it was not soft and juicy like a fruit. It was hard and rubbery and made a loud noise. Tommy did not like the noise, but he kept chewing on the ball.
+
+Suddenly, a big dog came running towards Tommy. The dog saw the orange ball in Tommy's mouth and thought it was his toy. The dog barked and jumped on Tommy, trying to get the ball. Tommy was scared and dropped the ball. The dog grabbed the ball and ran away, wagging his tail.
+
+Tommy cried and ran to his mom, who was sitting on a bench. He told her what happened and showed her his mouth. His mom saw that his teeth were hurt and his gums were bleeding from chewing on the hard ball. She hugged him and said, "Oh, Tommy, I'm sorry you lost your ball, but you should not chew on things that are not food. You could hurt your body and get sick. Food is for chewing, not toys or clothes or books or hair. Do you understand?"
+
+Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I'm sorry I chewed on the ball. I won't do it again. I will only chew on food, like apples and carrots and cheese. They are good for my body and my teeth. And they are yummy, too."
+
+His mom smiled and said, "That's right, Tommy. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now let's go home and clean your mouth and have some snack. And maybe we can find you a new ball that is not orange and not for chewing."
+
+Tommy smiled and said, "OK, mom. Thank you. I love you."
+
+His mom said, "I love you, too, Tommy. And I'm proud of you for being a good boy."
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They named him Frosty.
+
+"Hello, Frosty!" Lily said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben said, pretending to be Frosty's voice. "But I'm very cold. Can you give me a hug?"
+
+Lily and Ben hugged Frosty and laughed. They were having so much fun.
+
+But then, they heard a loud bark. It was Rex, their loyal dog. He ran towards them, wagging his tail. He wanted to play too.
+
+"Rex, no!" Lily shouted. "Don't knock down Frosty!"
+
+But it was too late. Rex jumped on Frosty and knocked him over. The hat, the scarf, the nose and the buttons fell off. Frosty was gone.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They loved Frosty. They looked at Rex. He looked sorry. He licked their faces.
+
+"Bad dog!" Ben said. "You ruined our snowman!"
+
+Rex whimpered. He didn't mean to. He just wanted to join them.
+
+Lily saw a puddle near the snow. She had an idea.
+
+"Look, Ben!" she said. "We can make another snowman with the puddle!"
+
+She took some snow and put it in the puddle. She shaped it into a ball. She gave it to Ben. He made another ball and put it on top. They found a stick and a leaf for the arms and the mouth. They used the hat and the scarf from Frosty. They made a new snowman.
+
+They called him Puddle. He was smaller than Frosty, but he was cute.
+
+"Hello, Puddle!" Lily said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben said, pretending to be Puddle's voice. "But I'm very wet. Can you dry me?"
+
+Lily and Ben laughed. They were happy again.
+
+They looked at Rex. He was happy too. He wagged his tail. He wanted to play with Puddle.
+
+But this time, he was careful. He didn't jump on Puddle. He just sniffed him and licked him.
+
+"Good dog!" Lily said. "You're a loyal friend!"
+
+Rex barked. He agreed.
+
+They all played together in the snow. They were a happy family.
+Sara and Ben were twins who loved to play hide and seek. One day, they decided to play in their big bedroom, where there were many things to hide behind. Sara was the seeker, and Ben was the hider. Sara counted to ten, and then opened her eyes. She was enthusiastic to find her brother.
+
+She searched under the bed, but Ben was not there. She searched behind the curtains, but Ben was not there. She searched in the closet, but Ben was not there. She searched everywhere, but she could not find Ben. She started to feel sad and worried. Where was Ben?
+
+She heard a giggle from behind the sofa. She ran to the sofa and lifted the pillow that was on the floor. There was Ben, hiding under the pillow. He smiled and said, "You found me, Sara! That was a good hiding spot, right?"
+
+Sara was happy to see Ben, but she was also a little angry. She said, "Ben, that was not fair. You hid under the pillow, and pillows are not for hiding. Pillows are for sleeping and cuddling. You could have hurt the pillow, or made it dirty. And you made me scared, because I thought you were lost. Next time, please hide in a better place, OK?"
+
+Ben felt sorry for what he did. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I didn't mean to make you scared, or hurt the pillow. I just wanted to have fun. You're right, pillows are not for hiding. Next time, I will hide in a better place, OK?"
+
+Sara hugged Ben and said, "It's OK, Ben. I forgive you. You're my brother, and I love you. Let's play again, but this time, let's be more careful, OK?"
+
+Ben hugged Sara back and said, "I love you too, Sara. Let's play again, but this time, let's be more careful, OK?"
+
+The twins put the pillow back on the sofa, and started a new game of hide and seek. They had fun, but they also learned to respect their things, and each other's feelings. That was the moral of their story.
+Tom and Anna were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. Sometimes they crashed their cars and had to repair them with tape and glue.
+
+"Look, Anna, my car is broken. Can you help me repair it?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, Tom, I can help you. Give me the tape and glue," Anna said.
+
+They worked together to fix Tom's car. They were happy and proud of their repair.
+
+"Let's go outside and play with our cars," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but we have to ask Mom first," Anna said.
+
+They ran to the exit and opened the door. But they did not see Mom. They saw a big dog. The dog was angry and barked loudly. It ran towards them and bit Tom's car. Tom screamed and dropped his car. The dog bit his hand too. Anna was scared and ran back inside. She closed the door and locked it.
+
+"Mom, Mom, help! There is a big dog outside and it bit Tom and his car!" Anna cried.
+
+Mom heard Anna and ran to the exit. She saw Tom lying on the ground, bleeding and crying. She saw the dog running away. She was very worried and angry.
+
+"Tom, Tom, are you OK? What happened?" Mom asked.
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We wanted to play outside with our cars, but we did not ask you. We opened the door and the dog attacked us. It broke my car and bit me. It hurts, Mom, it hurts," Tom said.
+
+Mom hugged Tom and carried him inside. She called the doctor and the police. She told Anna to stay with Tom and comfort him.
+
+"Anna, you did the right thing to run inside and lock the door. You were brave and smart. But you and Tom made a big mistake. You should never go outside without asking me. You should never open the door to strangers or animals. You could have been hurt or lost. You are not independent enough to play outside alone. You have to listen to me and follow the rules. Do you understand?" Mom said.
+
+"Yes, Mom, I understand. I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Tom. I love you both," Anna said.
+
+The doctor and the police came and helped Tom. They took him to the hospital and gave him medicine and stitches. They found the dog and took it away. Tom had to stay in the hospital for a few days. He was sad and scared. He missed his car and his home. He learned a hard lesson. He wished he had asked Mom before going outside. He wished he had been more careful and obedient. He realized that being independent does not mean being reckless or selfish. It means being responsible and respectful. He promised to be a better son and brother. He hoped to play with Anna and his car again soon.
+Ben and Mia are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two mineral eyes. They are very happy with their snowman.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Mia says.
+
+"Yes, he is. But he is cold. Let's give him a hug," Ben says.
+
+They run to the snowman and hug him. But they feel something hard and cold. They look at the snowman and see that he is not smiling. He is frozen.
+
+"Oh no, our snowman is freeze!" Mia says.
+
+"What did we do? How can we make him happy again?" Ben says.
+
+They think hard. They remember that they have a flask of hot chocolate in their backpack. They run to get it.
+
+"Maybe this will help. Let's pour some hot chocolate on his mouth," Mia says.
+
+They open the flask and pour some hot chocolate on the snowman's mouth. They wait and hope. They see that the snowman's mouth starts to move. He makes a sound.
+
+"Mmm, thank you. That was yummy. You are very kind," the snowman says.
+
+Ben and Mia are surprised and happy. They hear the snowman talk.
+
+"Hello, snowman. We are Ben and Mia. We are your friends," Ben says.
+
+"Hello, Ben and Mia. I am Snowy. I am your friend too," the snowman says.
+
+They smile and laugh. They talk and play with the snowman. They are ready for more fun in the snow.
+Lily and Ben were very excited to see the parade. They put on their hats and coats and went with Mom and Dad to the park. There were many people and cars and noises. Lily and Ben held Mom and Dad's hands and looked for a good spot to watch.
+
+They saw big balloons and colorful floats and funny clowns and loud bands. Lily and Ben clapped and cheered and waved. They liked the parade very much. But then they saw a big ice cream truck. They wanted ice cream. They asked Mom and Dad.
+
+"Can we have ice cream, please?" Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom and Dad looked at the ice cream truck. It had a sign that said "Expensive Ice Cream". Mom and Dad shook their heads.
+
+"No, sweeties, we can't have ice cream. It's too expensive. We have ice cream at home. Let's enjoy the parade now." Mom and Dad said.
+
+Lily and Ben were not happy. They wanted ice cream now. They started to cry and whine and kick. They did not want to watch the parade anymore. They made a lot of noise.
+
+Mom and Dad were not happy either. They wanted Lily and Ben to relax and have fun. They did not like the noise and the fuss. They tried to calm Lily and Ben down.
+
+"Shh, shh, it's okay. Don't cry. Don't whine. Don't kick. Relax, relax. Look at the parade. It's so nice. See the balloons? See the floats? See the clowns? See the bands? They are for you. They make you happy. Ice cream can wait. Parade is now. Relax, relax." Mom and Dad said.
+
+Lily and Ben listened to Mom and Dad. They looked at the parade again. They saw the balloons and the floats and the clowns and the bands. They were nice. They made them happy. They stopped crying and whining and kicking. They relaxed. They smiled. They hugged Mom and Dad.
+
+"Sorry, Mom and Dad. We love you. We love the parade. Thank you for bringing us." Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled too. They hugged Lily and Ben back.
+
+"You're welcome, sweeties. We love you too. We love the parade. We're glad you're happy. Let's watch the parade together." Mom and Dad said.
+
+And they did.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big box with some shiny things and some old clothes. They used the clothes to make hats and scarves and belts.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a necklace!" Ben said, holding up a string of beads. "It is very pretty and shiny. It is my treasure now."
+
+"No, Ben, it is mine!" Lily said, grabbing the necklace. "I saw it first. It is my treasure. Give it back!"
+
+They started to pull on the necklace, each trying to get it. The necklace broke and the beads flew everywhere. Some of them rolled under the bed and some of them went into the drawer.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Ben said together. "We broke the necklace. It was our treasure. Now it is gone."
+
+They felt very sad and sorry. They did not want to fight anymore. They wanted to find the beads and fix the necklace.
+
+They looked under the bed and in the drawer. They found some of the beads, but not all of them. They did not know where the other beads were.
+
+"Maybe we can make a new necklace with the beads we have," Lily said. "We can use some string and a needle. Do you know where they are?"
+
+"I think they are in the kitchen," Ben said. "Mommy has them in a jar. We can ask her if we can use them."
+
+They went to the kitchen and asked Mommy. Mommy said yes, but they had to be careful with the needle. She gave them the jar and some scissors. They took them to their room.
+
+They put the beads on the string and tied a knot. They made a new necklace. It was not as long as the old one, but it was still pretty and shiny.
+
+They decided to share the necklace. They took turns wearing it. They put it in the box and covered it with a cloth. They did not want to lose it again.
+
+They hugged each other and said sorry. They were happy again. They were good pirates and good friends.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They named him Frosty.
+
+"Hello, Frosty!" Sara said. "You are our friend."
+
+"Yes, you are very nice," Ben said. "We like you a lot."
+
+But then a big dog came running. He saw Frosty and barked. He wanted to play with him. He jumped on Frosty and knocked him down. He bit his nose and his scarf. He made Frosty fall apart.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Sara cried. "You are hurting Frosty!"
+
+"Go away, go away!" Ben shouted. "You are a bad dog!"
+
+But the dog did not listen. He kept playing with Frosty. He made a big mess.
+
+Sara and Ben were very sad. They loved Frosty. They wanted to save him. But they were too small and the dog was too big.
+
+Then they saw a girl. She was older than them. She had long hair and a red coat. She was riding a bike. She was very graceful. She saw Sara and Ben and the dog and Frosty.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" she asked. "That is not your snowman. That is their snowman. Leave him alone."
+
+She got off her bike and ran to the dog. She grabbed his collar and pulled him away. She scolded him and told him to go home. The dog whimpered and ran away.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Sara and Ben said. "You saved Frosty!"
+
+"You're welcome, you're welcome!" the girl said. "I'm sorry he ruined your snowman. Do you want some help to fix him?"
+
+"Yes, please, yes, please!" Sara and Ben said. "You are very kind."
+
+The girl smiled. She helped Sara and Ben to put Frosty back together. She gave him a new nose and a new scarf. She made him look even better than before.
+
+"There, he's good as new," she said. "He's a very handsome snowman."
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Sara and Ben said. "You are our hero."
+
+They hugged the girl and the snowman. They became friends. They played in the snow until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to Frosty and the girl. They promised to come back soon.
+
+They had a very happy winter.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their dog, Max. They liked to run and jump and throw the ball for Max to catch. Max was a big and strong dog, and he could run very fast and jump very high. He was impressive.
+
+One day, they saw a new path in the park. It looked like fun, so they decided to follow it. Max ran ahead of them, sniffing and barking. The path went up and down and around, and soon they came to a big cliff. They could see the river and the trees and the sky from the cliff. It was beautiful.
+
+But then they heard Max whine. He was on the edge of the cliff, and he had the ball in his mouth. He had tried to catch the ball, but it had bounced too far. He was scared to move, because he might fall. Ben and Lily ran to him, and tried to calm him down. They told him to drop the ball, and to chew on a stick instead. They said they would get him a new ball later.
+
+Max listened to them, and dropped the ball. It rolled down the cliff, and splashed into the river. Max looked sad, but he found a stick and started to chew on it. He felt better. Ben and Lily hugged him, and told him he was a good dog. They said they were proud of him, and that he was impressive. They turned around, and walked back to the park. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars. They liked to match the colors of the cars with the colors of the blocks. Lily had a red car and a red block. Tom had a blue car and a blue block.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a blue island!" Tom said, putting his block on the floor. "Can you drive your car to my island?"
+
+Lily nodded and moved her car towards Tom's block. But when she got close, she saw a big spider on the block. She was fearful of spiders. She screamed and ran away.
+
+"Help, help, there is a spider on the island!" Lily cried.
+
+Tom looked at the spider and was not fearful. He liked spiders. He picked up the spider and put it on his hand.
+
+"Don't be afraid, Lily, it is just a spider. It is not bad. It is my friend. See, it has eight legs and two eyes. It is like a car with legs. Do you want to touch it?" Tom said.
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not want to touch the spider. She did not like spiders. She liked cars and blocks.
+
+"Please, Tom, take the spider away. I don't want to play with it. I want to play with the cars and the blocks. Can we match the colors again?" Lily said.
+
+Tom smiled and put the spider back on the floor. He moved his block away from the spider. He gave Lily a hug.
+
+"OK, Lily, we can play with the cars and the blocks. I am sorry I scared you. You are my friend. Here, you can have my blue car and my blue block. I will take your red car and your red block. Now we can match the colors again." Tom said.
+
+Lily smiled and took Tom's blue car and blue block. She gave Tom her red car and red block. They drove their cars to each other's blocks. They were happy. They forgot about the spider on the island.
+Lily and Max were going to the beach with Mom and Dad. They were very excite to play in the sand and water. They put on their swimsuits and hats and packed their toys and towels in a big bag.
+
+When they got to the beach, they ran to find a good spot. Mom and Dad put a big umbrella and a blanket on the sand. Lily and Max took out their towels and spread them on the blanket. They wanted to dry off after they swim.
+
+"Come on, Max, let's go to the water!" Lily said. She grabbed her bucket and shovel and ran to the edge of the water. Max followed her with his ball and his boat. They splashed and laughed and had fun.
+
+After a while, they came back to the blanket. They were wet and sandy and hungry. They looked for their towels, but they could not find them. They saw other towels, but they were not theirs. They were confused.
+
+"Mom, Dad, where are our towels?" Lily asked.
+
+"Someone took them by mistake, honey," Mom said. "They left their towels here. Maybe they look like ours."
+
+Lily and Max were sad. They liked their towels. They had their names and their favorite animals on them. They did not like the other towels. They had flowers and stripes on them.
+
+"Can we get our towels back, Mom?" Max asked.
+
+"Maybe, sweetie, if we find the people who took them," Mom said. "But don't worry, we can use these towels for now. They are clean and soft and will keep you warm."
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They wrapped themselves in the other towels and ate some snacks. They hoped that the people who took their towels would come back soon and say sorry. They still wanted their towels back.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a swing, a slide and a seesaw. They also had a big tree with a rope. They liked to hang from the rope and pretend they were monkeys.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Ben. He had a bike, a ball and a kite. He looked very happy. Lily and Tom wanted to play with him, but he did not want to share. He said, "These are my toys. Go away!"
+
+Lily and Tom felt sad and jealous. They wished they had toys like Ben. They decided to take his kite when he was not looking. They ran to the tree and hung the kite on a branch. They thought it was funny.
+
+But Ben saw them and got very angry. He shouted, "Hey, that's my kite! Give it back!" He ran to the tree and tried to get his kite. But the rope was too high. He jumped and jumped, but he could not reach it.
+
+Then he had an idea. He climbed on his bike and pedaled fast. He aimed at the rope and tried to cut it with his wheel. But he missed and hit the tree instead. He fell off his bike and hurt his head. He cried and cried.
+
+Lily and Tom saw what happened and felt sorry. They ran to help him, but it was too late. Ben's mom came and took him to the hospital. She was very mad at Lily and Tom. She said, "You are very naughty. You should not take other people's things. You should not hang kites on trees. You could have killed him!"
+
+Lily and Tom felt very bad. They wished they had not been jealous. They wished they had been nice to Ben. They wished they had not hung his kite on the tree. They learned a hard lesson. They lost a friend and a toy. They had a bad ending.
+Sara and Ben were very happy. They moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Sara wanted to unpack her toys and books. Ben wanted to unpack his games and cars.
+
+"Can we watch a movie after we unpack?" Ben asked Mom.
+
+"Maybe, if you help me unpack the kitchen first," Mom said.
+
+Ben did not like to unpack the kitchen. He liked to watch movies. He was persistent. He asked Mom again and again.
+
+"Please, Mom, can we watch a movie now? Please, please, please?"
+
+Mom was tired and busy. She said no many times. She said Ben had to wait and help.
+
+Ben was angry and sad. He did not want to wait and help. He wanted to watch a movie. He had a bad idea. He sneaked to the living room. He found the box with the movies. He opened it. He took out a movie. He put it in the DVD player. He turned on the TV.
+
+He was happy. He watched the movie. He did not hear Mom calling him. He did not hear Sara looking for him. He did not hear the smoke alarm.
+
+The movie was bad. It had fire and smoke. It was scary. Ben was scared. He cried.
+
+The fire and smoke were not only in the movie. They were also in the kitchen. Mom forgot to turn off the stove. She was unpacking the dishes. The pot caught fire. The fire spread. The smoke filled the house.
+
+Mom smelled the smoke. She saw the fire. She screamed. She ran to the living room. She saw Ben. She grabbed him. She ran to the door. She saw Sara. She grabbed her. She ran outside.
+
+The house was on fire. The firemen came. They tried to put out the fire. They could not save the house. The house burned down.
+
+Mom, Dad, Sara and Ben were safe. But they were sad. They lost their new house. They lost their boxes. They lost their movies. They lost everything.
+
+Ben was very sorry. He knew it was his fault. He wished he had helped Mom. He wished he had not watched the movie. He wished he had not been persistent. He learned a hard lesson. He hugged Mom and said he was sorry. Mom hugged him and said she loved him. But she was also angry and sad. She did not know what to do. She did not know where to go. She did not know how to start again.
+Ben is a dog who likes to play. He has a ball, a bone and a rope. He likes to run, jump and fetch. But his owner, Sam, is busy. He has to work on his laptop, talk on his phone and write on his paper. He does not have time to play with Ben.
+
+Ben is frustrated. He wants Sam to play with him. He tries to get his attention. He barks, he nudges, he pulls. He brings his ball, his bone and his rope to Sam. He drops them on his laptop, his phone and his paper. He hopes Sam will quit working and play with him.
+
+But Sam is not happy. He scolds Ben. He says, "Ben, stop it! You are making a mess. You are ruining my work. Go away and play by yourself. I have to finish this. Quit bothering me!"
+
+Ben is sad. He does not understand why Sam is angry. He loves Sam and he just wants to have fun. He thinks Sam does not love him anymore. He goes to his bed and lies down. He does not want to play anymore.
+
+Sam finishes his work. He looks at Ben. He sees his sad face and his droopy ears. He feels sorry. He realizes he was too harsh on Ben. He loves Ben and he knows Ben loves him. He closes his laptop, his phone and his paper. He goes to Ben and hugs him. He says, "Ben, I'm sorry. I was busy, but I should have played with you. You are a good dog and a good friend. I love you. Do you want to play now?"
+
+Ben's tail wags. He licks Sam's face. He is happy. He forgives Sam. He jumps up and grabs his ball. He runs to the door and barks. He wants Sam to follow him. He wants to play with Sam.
+
+Sam smiles. He follows Ben. He takes his ball and throws it. Ben runs, jumps and fetches. They play together. They have fun. They are happy.
+Mia and Ben were twins who liked to play outside in summer. They had a big box that they used as a car, a boat, or a rocket. They took turns to drive and pretend to go to different places.
+
+One day, they decided to go to the zoo in their box. Mia wanted to be the driver and Ben wanted to be the passenger. They put on their hats and sunglasses and got in the box. But there was a problem. The box was too small for both of them. They tried to squeeze and push, but they could not fit.
+
+"Let me drive, Mia. You are too big for the box," Ben said.
+
+"No, I want to drive. You are too big for the box," Mia said.
+
+They started to argue and pull each other's hair. They were not happy.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw the twins fighting in the box. She was not happy either.
+
+"Stop it, Mia and Ben. You are not being nice to each other. Why don't you share the box and take turns to drive?" she said.
+
+"But mom, we can't fit in the box together. It's too small," Mia and Ben said.
+
+Mom looked at the box and had an idea. She went inside and came back with a pair of scissors and some tape. She cut the box in half and taped the two pieces together. She made a bigger box that had two seats and a steering wheel for each twin.
+
+"Look, Mia and Ben. I made you a new box. Now you can both fit and drive at the same time. You can go to the zoo or anywhere you want. But you have to be nice and work together, okay?" she said.
+
+Mia and Ben looked at the new box and smiled. They hugged their mom and thanked her. They got in the new box and put on their hats and sunglasses. They were happy.
+
+"Let's go to the zoo, Mia," Ben said.
+
+"Okay, Ben. Let's go," Mia said.
+
+They drove their new box and pretended to see the animals. They were independent and had fun. They learned to share and cooperate. They had a great summer.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find some wood on the ground. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's make a house with the wood!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, let's do that!" Ben agrees.
+
+They start to put the wood together. They raise some wood to make the walls. They raise some more wood to make the roof. They are happy with their house.
+
+"Look, we made a house!" Anna says.
+
+"It's a nice house!" Ben says.
+
+They go inside the house. They pretend to cook and eat. They have fun.
+
+Then, they hear a voice.
+
+"Hello, can I play with you?" The voice says.
+
+They look outside. They see a boy. He is holding a ball. He has a polite smile.
+
+"Who are you?" Anna asks.
+
+"I'm Tom. I live near the park. I saw your house. It's very cool. Can I play with you?" Tom asks.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They think for a moment.
+
+"OK, you can play with us. But you have to be nice and share." Anna says.
+
+"Thank you. I will be nice and share." Tom says.
+
+They invite Tom inside the house. They give him some pretend food. They play with the ball. They become friends. They have more fun.
+Lily liked to write. She wrote on paper, on walls, on leaves, on anything she could find. She wrote her name, her mom's name, her dad's name, and her cat's name. She wrote big and small, fast and slow, neat and messy. She wrote with pens, pencils, crayons, and markers. She wrote every day.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big radish in the garden. It was red and round and shiny. She wanted to write on it. She ran to get a marker and came back to the radish. She was eager to write. She wrote "Lily" on the radish. She was happy.
+
+But then, she heard a voice. It was the radish. It said, "Hey, why did you write on me? That hurts. I don't like it. Stop it." Lily was scared. She dropped the marker and ran away. She did not know that radishes could talk. She did not know that writing on them could hurt them. She felt sorry.
+
+She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. You didn't mean to hurt the radish. You were just curious. But you should not write on living things. They have feelings too. You should write on things that are not alive, like paper or rocks or stickers. Do you understand?" Lily nodded. She understood.
+
+She went back to the garden and said sorry to the radish. The radish said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. You are a good writer. But please don't write on me again. You can write on something else. How about that pumpkin over there? It's big and orange and smooth. You can write on it as much as you want." Lily smiled. She thanked the radish and went to the pumpkin. She wrote "Lily" on the pumpkin. She was happy. And so was the radish.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big club in the park. It is brown and hard and dry.
+
+"Look, a club!" Tom says. "We can use it to hit things."
+
+"Let me see!" Sam says. He tries to lift the club, but it is too heavy. He falls down and cries.
+
+"Are you okay?" Tom asks. He helps Sam get up.
+
+"That club is too big for us," Sam says. "It weighs a lot."
+
+"Maybe we can share it," Tom says. "We can take turns to hold it."
+
+"Okay," Sam says. "But be careful. It might hurt someone."
+
+They agree to share the club. They walk around the park, looking for things to hit. They see a tree, a rock, a can, and a flower. They hit them with the club, making loud noises.
+
+"Bang! Bang! Bang!" they shout.
+
+They have fun with the club. They forget about their other toys. They do not see the big dog that is watching them. The dog is hungry and angry. It wants the club. It thinks it is a bone.
+
+The dog runs towards them, barking and growling. Tom and Sam are scared. They drop the club and run away.
+
+"Help! Help! Help!" they scream.
+
+The dog grabs the club with its teeth. It shakes it and chews it. It breaks it into pieces. It is happy and full.
+
+Tom and Sam hide behind a bench. They are sad and sorry. They lost their club. They wish they had their other toys.
+
+"Let's go home," Tom says.
+
+"Okay," Sam says.
+
+They hold hands and walk home. They decide not to play with clubs anymore. They learn a lesson. Clubs are not for kids. Clubs are for dogs.
+Ben and Lily were going to the zoo with their mom. They were very excited to see the animals. They liked the lions, the monkeys, and the elephants. But they wanted to see the giraffes most of all. They had seen a big picture of a giraffe on a billboard on the way to the zoo. It had a long neck and a funny face.
+
+"Look, mom, there they are!" Lily shouted, pointing to the giraffe enclosure. Ben and Lily ran to the fence, holding their mom's hand. They saw four giraffes eating leaves from the trees. They were very tall and beautiful.
+
+"Hello, giraffes!" Ben said. He wanted to touch one of them. He saw a giraffe that was close to the fence. He let go of his mom's hand and reached out his arm.
+
+"Ben, no!" his mom said. "Don't do that! They might bite you!"
+
+But it was too late. The giraffe saw Ben's hand and moved its head towards him. It opened its mouth and showed its big teeth. Ben realized that the giraffe was not friendly like in the picture. He was frightened. He screamed and pulled back his hand.
+
+The giraffe snorted and moved away. Ben's mom hugged him and checked his hand. He was not hurt, but he was very scared.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Ben said. "I didn't know the giraffe was mean."
+
+"It's okay, Ben," his mom said. "The giraffe was not mean, it was just curious. But you have to be careful with wild animals. They are not like pets. You can look at them, but you can't touch them."
+
+Ben nodded. He learned his lesson. He and Lily decided to watch the giraffes from a safe distance. They still liked them, but they respected them more. They enjoyed the rest of their day at the zoo.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to print pictures of animals and flowers. Lily printed a big lion with a yellow mane. Ben printed a small mouse with a pink nose.
+
+"Look at my lion!" Lily said. "He is very strong and loud. He can scare your mouse."
+
+Ben did not like Lily's words. He liked his mouse. He said, "My mouse is very smart and fast. He can hide from your lion."
+
+Lily was bossy. She wanted to be the leader of the game. She said, "No, your mouse is silly and weak. My lion is the king of the animals. He can eat your mouse for a snack."
+
+Ben was sad and angry. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He said, "You are not nice. You are not my friend. I will play with someone else."
+
+He took his crayons and paper and went to find another friend. Lily was left alone with her lion. She felt sorry for herself. She wished she had not been so bossy. She wished Ben would come back and play with her.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to watch the sunset. The sunset was when the sky turned orange, pink and purple. It was very pretty.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was brown and fluffy. It had a red collar and a long tail. The dog ran towards them, wagging its tail. Lily was scared of the dog. She thought the dog would bite her. She ran away and hid behind a tree.
+
+Ben was not scared of the dog. He liked dogs. He thought the dog wanted to play. He said hello to the dog and petted its head. The dog licked his face and wagged its tail more. Ben laughed and hugged the dog.
+
+Lily peeked from behind the tree. She saw Ben and the dog having fun. She felt embarrassed. She wished she was not scared of the dog. She wanted to play with Ben and the dog too. She took a deep breath and walked towards them.
+
+Ben saw Lily and smiled. He said, "Lily, this is Max. He is a friendly dog. He will not hurt you. You can pet him if you want. He likes you."
+
+Lily looked at Max. He looked nice. He had kind eyes and a wet nose. He did not bark or growl. He tilted his head and wagged his tail. Lily felt a little brave. She reached out her hand and touched Max's fur. It was soft and warm. Max licked her hand and nuzzled her cheek. Lily giggled and stroked his ears.
+
+Ben was happy. He said, "See, Lily? Max is a good dog. You can trust him. He is our new friend."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, Ben. You are right. Max is a good dog. I trust him. He is our new friend."
+
+They played with Max until the sunset. The sky was orange, pink and purple. It was very pretty. They said goodbye to Max and thanked him for the fun. They held hands and walked home. They were best friends.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their jeep. Their jeep is huge and red. It has big wheels and a loud horn. They pretend to drive it in the yard.
+
+One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to go up the hill with their jeep. They think it will be fun. They ask their mom if they can go. She says no. She says the hill is too steep and dangerous. She says they might fall and get hurt.
+
+But Tom and Sam do not listen. They wait until their mom is busy. Then they sneak out with their jeep. They push it to the hill. They climb on it and start to roll down. They go very fast. They laugh and shout.
+
+But then they see a big rock in their way. They try to steer away from it. But they are going too fast. They cannot stop. They hit the rock with a loud bang. Their jeep flips over and lands on them. They scream and cry. They are trapped and hurt.
+
+Their mom hears them and runs to help. She sees the jeep and the rock and the blood. She is very scared and angry. She calls for help. She tries to lift the jeep off them. But it is too heavy. She cannot lift it. She hugs them and says sorry. She waits for the ambulance to come. She wishes they had listened to her.
+Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play with their toys. One day, Sara brought a new toy to Tom's house. It was a birdcage with a toy bird inside. Sara said, "Look at my birdcage! It is so pretty and shiny. The bird can sing and move its wings."
+
+Tom wanted to play with the birdcage too. He asked Sara, "Can I hold the birdcage for a while? I want to hear the bird sing." Sara said, "No, you can't. It is mine. You have your own toys. Go play with them."
+
+Tom felt sad and angry. He thought Sara was selfish. He wanted to make a joke to make her share the birdcage. He said, "OK, I will play with my toys. But do you know what? Your bird is not real. It is just a toy. It can't fly or eat or lay eggs. It is a fake bird."
+
+Sara was shocked. She said, "No, it is not. It is a real bird. It can sing and move its wings. It is not a fake bird." She opened the birdcage and took out the toy bird. She tried to make it fly, but it fell to the ground. She tried to make it eat, but it did not open its beak. She tried to make it lay eggs, but it did not have any.
+
+Tom laughed. He said, "See? I told you. It is a fake bird. It is just a toy. You are silly to think it is real. That was my joke. Ha ha ha."
+
+Sara felt sad and angry. She said, "That was not a joke. That was mean. You made me feel bad. You are not my friend. Go away." She put the toy bird back in the birdcage and hugged it. She cried.
+
+Tom felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I did not mean to make you feel bad. I just wanted to play with the birdcage. It is a nice toy. Can we share it? Can we be friends again?"
+
+Sara looked at Tom. She said, "OK, I forgive you. But you have to be nice. You have to share your toys too. And you have to say sorry to the bird. It is not a fake bird. It is a toy bird. It is my friend."
+
+Tom said, "OK, I'm sorry, bird. You are a toy bird. You are Sara's friend. You are a nice bird." He smiled. Sara smiled. They hugged. They shared the birdcage. They played together. They were friends again.

+
+One day, she saw a mouse in the kitchen. She wanted to catch the mouse and eat it, but the mouse was fast and smart. It ran under the table and hid behind a chair. Bella tried to follow it, but her tail got in the way. It knocked over a cup and made a loud noise.
+
+The mouse heard the noise and ran out of the kitchen. Bella was sad and angry. She blamed her tail for losing the mouse. She decided to have a serious discuss with her tail.
+
+She looked at her tail and said, "Tail, you are bad. You make me lose the mouse. You are too long and fluffy. You should be short and thin like the mouse's tail. Then I could catch the mouse and eat it."
+
+Her tail did not answer. It just wagged and flicked. Bella thought her tail was rude and did not listen to her. She tried to pull her tail and make it shorter, but it hurt and she let go.
+
+She heard a voice behind her. It was her friend, Milo, another cat. He had a short, thin tail. He said, "Bella, why are you talking to your tail? Your tail is not bad. Your tail is beautiful and unique. It makes you special and different from other cats. You should be proud of your tail and love it."
+
+Bella looked at Milo and his tail. She thought about what he said. She realized he was right. Her tail was not bad. It was part of her and it helped her balance and express her feelings.

+
+Lily nodded. She was curious. The doctor took off his mask. He had a friendly face. He had a beard and glasses. He said, "See? I am just a person like you. The mask is not scary. It is just a thing."

+
+The helicopter flies over their yard and then turns around. It comes back and flies even lower. It rings again and drops a small package. It has a note that says "For Ben and Mia, from Uncle Sam". Uncle Sam is a pilot. He works for the fire department. He helps people who are in trouble.

+He invited them in and offered them some cookies and milk. He showed them his pictures and his books. He told them stories and jokes. He was happy and kind.
+
+Tom and his mom stayed for a while and talked to the old man. They helped him clean the window and fix the glass. They gave him a hug and a thank you. They said they would come back and visit him soon.
+
+They walked back to their house and Tom felt better. He learned a lesson and made a friend. He still liked to play with his ball, but he was more careful. He did not want to end his fun or hurt anyone. He was good and smart.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their new toy. It was a magic wand that could make things shrink or grow. They had fun making their teddy bears and cars smaller and bigger.
+
+"Look, I can make this ball as big as the house!" Ben said, waving the wand.
+
+"No, don't do that! It will break the window!" Lily said, grabbing the wand.
+
+They pulled and tugged on the wand, but it slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. The tip of the wand pointed at them and flashed a bright light.
+
+"Oh no!" they both said, as they felt themselves shrinking.
+
+They became as small as ants, and the room looked like a giant forest. They saw their toys and books towering over them. They heard their mom calling them for lunch, but she sounded very far away.
+
+"Mom, help!" they shouted, but she could not hear them.
+
+They tried to climb on the wand, but it was too heavy and smooth. They looked around for something to help them.
+
+"Maybe we can use that string to make a ladder," Lily said, pointing at a piece of yarn on the floor.
+
+"Good idea!" Ben said, running towards it.
+
+They worked together to tie the yarn around the wand and make a loop. They hoped that their mom would see them and make them big again.
+
+They climbed on the yarn and reached the tip of the wand. They saw their mom coming into the room.
+
+"Mom, we're here!" they waved and shouted.
+
+Their mom saw the wand and picked it up. She smiled and said, "What a perfect toy for my little ones!"
+
+She pressed a button on the wand and made Lily and Ben grow back to their normal size. They hugged their mom and thanked her.
+
+They decided to put the wand away and play with something else. They learned that magic can be fun, but also dangerous. They promised to be more careful next time.
+Sara liked to dream. Every night, she closed her eyes and saw wonderful things. She saw big castles, pretty flowers, and funny animals. She dreamed that she was a queen, and everyone was nice to her.
+
+One night, she dreamed that she was in a big castle. She wore a shiny crown and a long dress. She had a lot of toys and books and cakes. She was very happy. She wanted to share her dream with someone. She saw a grumpy cat sitting on a chair. The cat had a big bow on its head.
+
+"Hello, cat," Sara said. "Do you want to play with me? I am a queen, and this is my castle."
+
+The cat looked at Sara with angry eyes. It did not like to play. It liked to sleep and be alone.
+
+"Go away, girl," the cat said. "You are not a queen. You are a silly dreamer. This is not your castle. This is my chair. Leave me alone, or I will scratch you."
+
+Sara felt sad. She did not like the grumpy cat. She wanted to find a friend who liked to dream. She walked away from the cat and looked for someone else. She saw a big door with a sign that said "Do not enter". She was curious. She opened the door and went inside.
+
+She saw a beautiful garden with a lot of flowers and butterflies. She smelled the sweet perfume and heard the birds singing. She felt happy again. She saw a friendly dog sitting on a bench. The dog had a big smile and a wagging tail.
+
+"Hello, dog," Sara said. "Do you want to play with me? I am a queen, and this is my garden."
+
+The dog looked at Sara with kind eyes. It liked to play. It liked to run and jump and lick.
+
+"Hello, girl," the dog said. "You are a wonderful queen. You are a smart dreamer. This is your garden. I am your friend. Come, let us play together."
+
+Sara felt happy. She liked the friendly dog. She found a friend who liked to dream. She played with the dog and had a lot of fun. She forgot about the grumpy cat and the big castle. She enjoyed her garden and her friend. She dreamed a happy dream.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Sara wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Sara says. "You can hold my hand."
+
+"No, no, no, it is too high!" Ben says. "I do not like high things."
+
+Sara thinks of a way to help Ben. She sees a stand with ice cream. She has an idea.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is ice cream!" Sara says. "If you go on the slide with me, I will buy you an ice cream. Ice cream is yummy and cold."
+
+Ben likes ice cream. He thinks Sara is useful and kind. He nods his head.
+
+"OK, Sara, I will try," Ben says. "But you have to go first."
+
+Sara smiles. She takes Ben's hand and they walk to the slide. Sara goes first and slides down. She laughs and shouts.
+
+"See, Ben, it is not scary, it is fun!" Sara says. "Now it is your turn."
+
+Ben takes a deep breath. He climbs up the slide and sits down. He looks at Sara. She smiles and waves. Ben slides down. He feels the wind and the sun. He lands on the ground and smiles.
+
+"That was fun!" Ben says. "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend."
+
+Sara hugs Ben. They run to the stand and buy ice cream. They eat their ice cream and talk. They are happy. They see the slide and think it is fun.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is scary. It has sharp teeth and loud bark. The dog runs to Tom and Mia.
+
+"Help!" Tom says. "The dog is scary!"
+
+Mia is brave. She picks up a stick. She waves the stick at the dog. She says, "Go away, dog! You are not nice!"
+
+The dog stops. It is afraid of the stick. It turns around and runs away.
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They hug each other. Mia says, "You are my friend. I prevent the dog from hurting you."
+
+Tom says, "Thank you, Mia. You are my friend too. You are very brave."
+
+They hear a sound. It is an alarm. It is loud and red. It comes from a fire truck. The fire truck is going to a house. The house is on fire.
+
+Tom and Mia are curious. They want to see the fire truck. They run to the street. They forget to look for cars.
+
+A car is coming. It is fast and big. It does not see Tom and Mia. It is going to hit them.
+
+"Stop!" a voice says. It is a man. He is a firefighter. He is on the fire truck. He sees Tom and Mia. He jumps off the truck. He runs to them. He grabs them and pulls them back. He prevents the car from hitting them.
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They cry. The firefighter says, "Don't cry, kids. You are safe now. But you have to be careful. You have to look for cars before you cross the street. It is dangerous."
+
+Tom and Mia say, "Sorry, firefighter. We are sorry. We will be careful."
+
+The firefighter says, "It's okay, kids. I'm glad you are okay. But you have to go home now. The fire truck has to go to the fire. The fire is scary too."
+
+Tom and Mia say, "Thank you, firefighter. You are very nice. You prevent the fire from hurting people."
+
+The firefighter says, "You're welcome, kids. You are very sweet. But go home now. And stay away from scary things."
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They hold hands. They go home. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They have a friend who is brave. They have a friend who is nice. They prevent each other from being sad.
+Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the sandbox at the park. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They made castles and mountains with the sand.
+
+One day, they saw a new toy at the park. It was a big red bike with a basket. Ben and Mia wanted to try it. They ran to the bike and took turns to ride it. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Ben said. "I like to ride fast and make noises."
+
+"Me too!" Mia said. "Can I put the bucket in the basket?"
+
+"Sure!" Ben said. "Then we can take some sand with us."
+
+They put the bucket in the basket and filled it with sand. They rode around the park, looking for a good place to dump the sand. They were very enthusiastic and happy.
+
+They found a big slide and decided to make a surprise for the other kids. They climbed up the slide with the bike and the bucket. They poured the sand down the slide and made a big pile.
+
+"Look what we did!" Ben said. "We made a sand slide!"
+
+"Let's try it!" Mia said. "It looks fun!"
+
+They left the bike at the top and slid down the sand. They laughed and screamed with joy. They made a big mess, but they didn't care. They had a lot of fun.
+Anna and Ben are on a big boat with Mom and Dad. They are going to see the reef under the water. The reef is a place where many fish and plants live. Anna and Ben are very excited.
+
+They put on masks and fins and jump into the water. Mom and Dad hold their hands and swim with them. They see many colors and shapes. They see yellow fish, blue fish, pink fish. They see green plants, purple plants, red plants. They see a big turtle, a small starfish, a funny clownfish.
+
+"Look, Ben, look!" Anna says. "A soft coral! It looks like a flower!"
+
+She swims closer and reaches out her hand. She wants to touch the soft coral.
+
+"Wait, Anna, wait!" Mom says. "Don't touch the reef! It can hurt you or the reef!"
+
+Mom pulls Anna back and explains. "The reef is very special and fragile. Some corals have sharp edges or stings. Some fish have teeth or spines. If you touch them, they can hurt you. And if you touch the reef, you can break it or make it sick. We have to be careful and respectful. We can look, but not touch."
+
+Anna nods and says sorry. She understands. She looks at the soft coral and smiles. It is still beautiful. She and Ben swim with Mom and Dad and see more wonders of the reef. They are happy and amazed. They love the reef.
+Lily was very thirsty. She wanted some water from the bottle on the table. But the bottle was too high for her. She tried to reach it with her hand, but she could not. She tried to climb on the chair, but she fell down. She cried.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, I want water!" she shouted.
+
+Mommy came from the kitchen. She saw Lily on the floor and the bottle on the table. She felt sorry for her poor baby.
+
+"What's wrong, Lily? Why are you crying?" she asked.
+
+"I want water, mommy, but I can't get the bottle. It's too high for me," Lily said.
+
+Mommy picked up Lily and hugged her. She gave her a kiss.
+
+"Don't cry, Lily. I'll get you some water. You are a brave girl. You tried to manage by yourself, but sometimes you need help. That's okay," she said.
+
+She took the bottle from the table and poured some water into a cup. She gave the cup to Lily and helped her drink.
+
+"Thank you, mommy. You are the best," Lily said.
+
+Mommy smiled.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. I love you," she said.
+
+They hugged again and went to the living room. They played with Lily's toys and read some books. Lily was happy. She forgot about the bottle. She had her mommy.
+Mia was curious about the microphone on the stage. She saw it when she went to the park with her mom and dad. They were having a picnic and listening to some music. Mia liked the music, but she wanted to see the microphone up close.
+
+She waited until the music stopped and the people clapped. Then she ran to the stage when no one was looking. She climbed up the steps and grabbed the microphone. She felt it in her hands. It was shiny and smooth. She wondered what it would do if she talked into it.
+
+She put it near her mouth and said, "Hello, hello, hello!" She heard her voice echo in the park. It was loud and funny. She giggled and said, "I am Mia, I am Mia, I am Mia!" She heard some people laugh and some people say, "Shh!"
+
+She looked around and saw her mom and dad. They were smiling, but they also looked worried. They came to the stage and took her hand. They said, "Mia, you are very brave and very curious, but you should not touch the microphone. It is not a toy. It is for the people who sing and play music. They need it to share their songs with everyone. You should ask them first if you can use it."
+
+Mia felt sorry. She did not mean to be rude. She wanted to be polite. She looked at the microphone and said, "Sorry, microphone, sorry, sorry, sorry!" She heard her voice echo again. She looked at the people who sang and played music. They were smiling too. They said, "It's okay, Mia, it's okay. You have a very nice voice. Maybe you can sing and play music with us someday. But for now, you should thank the microphone and give it back to us."
+
+Mia nodded. She said, "Thank you, microphone, thank you, thank you, thank you!" She gave it back to them. They said, "You're welcome, Mia, you're welcome. You are a very sweet and curious girl. We hope you enjoy the rest of the picnic and the music."
+
+Mia smiled. She hugged her mom and dad. They said, "We love you, Mia, we love you. You are a very smart and curious girl. We are proud of you. But next time, please be careful and ask before you touch something that is not yours."
+
+Mia said, "Okay, okay, okay. I will, I will, I will." She went back to the picnic with her mom and dad. She ate some sandwiches and some cookies. She listened to the music and clapped. She was happy and curious. She learned something new today. She learned about the microphone.
+Lily liked to play with her blocks. She had many blocks of different colors and shapes. She could make towers, bridges, houses, and animals with her blocks. She liked to look at the patterns on the blocks. Some had stripes, some had dots, some had stars, and some had letters.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to make a surprise for her mom. She used her blocks to spell her mom's name: M-O-M. She put the blocks on the floor in a line. She was very proud of her work. She wanted to show her mom, but she also wanted to make it fun. She decided to hide the blocks under a blanket. She waited for her mom to come home.
+
+When her mom came home, Lily ran to her and gave her a hug. She said, "Mom, I have a surprise for you! Come and see!" She took her mom's hand and led her to the living room. She pointed to the blanket on the floor. She said, "Look under the blanket, mom!"
+
+Her mom lifted the blanket and saw the blocks. She read the name: M-O-M. She was very happy and surprised. She said, "Lily, this is so sweet! You spelled my name with your blocks! How did you do that?" She hugged Lily and kissed her.
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I did it by myself, mom! I know the letters. I looked at the patterns on the blocks. I wanted to make you happy, mom. I love you!" She hugged her mom back and kissed her.
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You made me very happy, Lily. I love you too! You are very smart and creative. Thank you for the surprise!" She picked up Lily and the blocks and took them to the couch. They cuddled and played with the blocks together. They had a lot of fun.
+Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, their dad gave them a tent. It was small and red. Tom and Lily were happy. They wanted to sleep in the tent at night.
+
+They put the tent in the yard. They put their pillows and blankets inside. They said good night to their dad and went into the tent. They closed the flap. It was dark and cozy. They told each other stories and jokes. They laughed and hugged.
+
+But then they heard a noise. It was loud and scary. It was a dog. It was big and black. It saw the tent. It wanted to play. It ran to the tent and jumped on it. It barked and scratched. It made a hole in the tent. Tom and Lily were scared. They screamed and cried.
+
+Their dad heard them. He came out of the house. He saw the dog. He shooed it away. He went to the tent. He saw Tom and Lily. They were shaking and wet. He picked them up and hugged them. He said he was sorry. He said he would fix the tent. He said he would buy them a new one. He said he loved them.
+
+Tom and Lily said they loved him too. They said they hated the dog. They said they hated the tent. They said they wanted to sleep in the house. Their dad said okay. He took them to their room. He tucked them in. He kissed them good night. He turned on the light. He said they were brave. He said they were his stars. Tom and Lily smiled. They felt safe and warm. They closed their eyes and slept.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big patch of grass where they could run and jump and roll. But there was also a small patch of dirt behind the shed, where nothing grew. Lily and Tom were curious about the dirt patch, but their mom always told them to stay away from it. She said it was scary and dangerous.
+
+One day, when their mom was busy in the kitchen, Lily and Tom decided to sneak to the dirt patch. They wanted to see what was there. Maybe they could find some worms or rocks or treasures. They tiptoed behind the shed and looked at the dirt patch. It was dark and dry and full of cracks. Lily and Tom felt a little scared, but they were also brave.
+
+"Let's dig a hole and see what's inside," Tom said, picking up a stick.
+
+"Okay, but be careful," Lily said, following him.
+
+They started to dig in the dirt patch, making a small hole. They did not find anything interesting, just more dirt. They dug deeper and deeper, until the hole was big enough for them to fit in. They crawled inside the hole and looked around. It was dark and cold and quiet.
+
+"Tom, I don't like it here. Let's go back," Lily said, feeling scared.
+
+"Me too. This is not fun. This is boring," Tom said, feeling scared too.
+
+They tried to climb out of the hole, but they could not. The dirt was too loose and slippery. It kept falling on them, making the hole smaller and smaller. They started to cry and shout for help, but no one heard them. They were trapped in the dirt patch.
+
+Their mom was looking for them in the garden. She saw the stick and the hole behind the shed. She ran to the dirt patch and saw their feet sticking out. She was scared and angry. She pulled them out of the hole and hugged them. She was glad they were alive, but she was also mad.
+
+"Lily and Tom, what were you doing in the dirt patch? I told you to stay away from it. It is scary and dangerous. You could have died," she said, shaking them.
+
+"We're sorry, mom. We were curious. We wanted to see what was there. We didn't mean to end up in the hole. We were scared too," they said, sobbing.
+
+She took them to the house and cleaned them up. She gave them some juice and cookies and told them to never go to the dirt patch again. She said she loved them, but they had to listen to her. She said she would plant some flowers in the dirt patch, so it would not be scary and dangerous anymore. Lily and Tom nodded and hugged her. They learned their lesson. They never went to the dirt patch again.
+Stitch is a dog who likes to mark his toys. He has a ball, a bone, a rope and a duck. He marks them with his teeth and his smell. He thinks they are his and no one can take them.
+
+One day, a new dog comes to his house. His name is Spot. Spot is big and crazy. He likes to run and jump and bark. He sees Stitch's toys and wants to play with them. He does not know they are marked.
+
+Stitch is angry when he sees Spot with his toys. He growls and runs to him. He says, "No, no, no! Those are mine! You can't have them! Go away!"
+
+Spot is confused and scared. He drops the toys and backs away. He says, "Sorry, sorry, sorry! I didn't know! I just wanted to play! Can we be friends?"
+
+Stitch is still angry, but he feels a little sorry for Spot. He says, "Maybe, maybe, maybe. But you have to ask me first. And you have to be nice. And you have to share."
+
+Spot nods and smiles. He says, "OK, OK, OK. I will ask you first. And I will be nice. And I will share. Can we play now?"
+
+Stitch thinks for a moment. He says, "OK, OK, OK. We can play now. But don't be too crazy. And don't touch my duck. That's my favorite."
+
+Spot agrees and they start to play. They chase the ball, tug the rope and chew the bone. They have fun and forget their fight. They become friends and share their toys. Except the duck. That's still Stitch's.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the toys. One day, they find a big roll of tape in the closet. They think it is fun to stick the tape on things.
+
+Tom takes the tape and sticks it on Sam's face. Sam does not like that. He says, "Stop it, Tom! That hurts!" He tries to pull the tape off, but it is sticky. He gets angry and pokes Tom in the eye. Tom does not like that. He says, "Ow, Sam! That hurts!" He pokes Sam back in the nose.
+
+They start to poke each other harder and harder. They make a lot of noise. They do not hear their mom coming up the stairs. She opens the door and sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing, boys? Why are you poking each other with tape? That is not nice!" She takes the tape away from them and turns off the light. She says, "You need a time out. You will stay in the dark until you say sorry to each other." She closes the door and leaves them alone.
+
+Tom and Sam are scared of the dark. They do not like to be in the dark. They stop poking each other and start to cry. They say, "Mom, please come back! We are sorry! We do not want to fight anymore!" They hug each other and say, "I love you, brother." They wait for mom to come back and turn on the light. They hope she will forgive them and let them play with the tape again.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and smell them. Sara saw a big pink flower that was not open yet. She wanted to see it bloom.
+
+"Look, Tom, this flower is not open. When will it bloom?" Sara asked.
+
+Tom shrugged. He did not know. He liked to dig in the dirt and find bugs. He found a worm and showed it to Sara.
+
+"Look, Sara, this is a worm. It is slimy and wiggly. Do you want to touch it?" Tom asked.
+
+Sara shook her head. She did not like worms. She thought they were yucky and scary. She moved away from Tom and the worm.
+
+"No, thank you, Tom. I do not want to touch the worm. I want to see the flower bloom. Maybe it needs some water or some lotion to make it open," Sara said.
+
+She ran to the house and got a small bottle of lotion. She came back to the garden and squeezed some lotion on the flower. She hoped it would make it bloom.
+
+But the lotion did not make the flower bloom. It made it sticky and smelly. The flower did not like the lotion. It wilted and drooped.
+
+Sara was sad. She did not mean to hurt the flower. She wanted to help it bloom. She started to cry.
+
+Tom saw Sara crying. He felt sorry for her. He put the worm back in the dirt and went to Sara. He hugged her and said,
+
+"I am sorry, Sara. I know you wanted to see the flower bloom. But lotion is not good for flowers. Lotion is good for skin. It makes skin soft and smooth. Do you want some lotion for your skin?" Tom asked.
+
+Sara nodded. She wiped her tears and smiled. She liked lotion for her skin. It made her feel warm and cozy. She took some lotion from Tom and rubbed it on her arms and legs.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. Maybe we can find another flower that is already open and smell it together," Sara said.
+
+Tom nodded. He was happy that Sara was happy. He liked to smell flowers too. They held hands and walked around the garden. They found a yellow flower that was open and bright. They smelled it and laughed. It smelled like honey and sunshine. They forgot about the pink flower and the worm. They had fun in the garden.
+Anna and Ben like to play games. They have many games in their room. They have puzzles, cards, dolls, cars, and books. But today they want to play a new game. They want to make their own game.
+
+They find some paper, scissors, and crayons. They sit on the floor and start to cut the paper. They cut out shapes, letters, numbers, and animals. They use the crayons to color them. They make cards, tokens, and boards for their game.
+
+"Look, I cut out a star!" Anna says. She shows Ben her yellow star.
+
+"That's impressive!" Ben says. He likes Anna's star. He shows her his green dinosaur. "I cut out a dinosaur!"
+
+"That's impressive, too!" Anna says. She likes Ben's dinosaur. They smile at each other.
+
+They finish cutting and coloring their game pieces. They mix them up and put them in a box. They are ready to play their game.
+
+"Let's play our game!" Anna says. She takes out the box.
+
+"OK, let's play!" Ben says. He takes out the board.
+
+They spread the board on the floor. They take turns to draw a card, move a token, and match a shape. They have fun playing their game. They laugh and clap. They are proud of their game.
+
+They play their game until mom calls them for lunch. They put their game away. They run to the kitchen.
+
+"Mom, we made our own game!" Anna says.
+
+"We cut and colored the paper!" Ben says.
+
+"Wow, that's impressive!" mom says. She hugs them. "I'm so proud of you!"
+
+They tell mom about their game. They show her their star and dinosaur. Mom smiles and praises them. She gives them sandwiches and juice. They eat and drink. They are happy. They love their game. They love their mom.
+Tim and Sam liked to play with their toy boats in the pond. They made them from paper and sticks. They were cheap, but they worked well. They liked to watch them sail on the water and catch the wind.
+
+One day, they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary. Tim said, "Let's go home. It will rain soon." Sam said, "No, I want to play more. My boat is faster than yours." He pushed his boat harder and made it go far.
+
+The cloud got bigger and closer. The wind got stronger and louder. Tim said, "Sam, come on. It's not safe. Your boat will get wet and break." Sam said, "No, I can get it back. It's not that far." He ran along the edge of the pond and tried to reach his boat.
+
+But the wind was too strong. It made the water rise and splash. It made the boat fly and flip. Sam could not catch it. He got wet and cold. He cried and shouted. Tim ran to him and hugged him. He said, "I'm sorry, Sam. Your boat is gone. But I have mine. We can share it. It's cheap, but it's ours."
+
+They went home together. They were sad, but they were friends. They learned a lesson. They knew that sometimes it's better to listen and be careful. They knew that cheap things can be precious. They knew that sail is fun, but rise is not.
+Lily was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent. She did not need help to dress, eat, or play. She liked to make her own choices.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to paint a picture. She found some paper, brushes, and paints in the closet. She set them up on the table and started to paint. She made a rainbow, a sun, and a flower. She was very happy with her picture.
+
+She wanted to show it to her mom, but the paint was still wet. She did not want to wait for it to dry. She had an idea. She took her picture and taped it to the ceiling. She thought the ceiling was a good place to dry her picture. She smiled and ran to find her mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, look what I did!" she said, pulling her mom to the living room.
+
+"What did you do, Lily?" her mom asked, following her.
+
+"Look up, mom, look up!" Lily said, pointing to the ceiling.
+
+Her mom looked up and saw Lily's picture. She was surprised and amused. She saw the rainbow, the sun, and the flower. She also saw some paint dripping from the ceiling.
+
+"Lily, that's a very nice picture, but why did you put it on the ceiling?" her mom asked.
+
+"Because I wanted it to dry, mom. The ceiling is dry, right?" Lily said, proudly.
+
+"Well, yes, the ceiling is dry, but the paint is not. The paint is wet, and it can make a mess on the ceiling and the floor. Next time, you can put your picture on a flat surface, like the table or the counter, and wait for it to dry. OK?" her mom said, gently.
+
+"OK, mom, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I just wanted to be independent and do it by myself," Lily said, sadly.
+
+Her mom hugged her and kissed her. "I know, Lily, and I'm proud of you for being independent and creative. But sometimes, you need to ask for help or advice, and that's OK too. I love you, Lily, and I love your picture. Now, let's take it down and clean up the paint, OK?" her mom said, smiling.
+
+"OK, mom, I love you too. And thank you for helping me," Lily said, smiling back. They took down the picture and cleaned up the paint together. Lily learned a new lesson, and her mom hung her picture on the fridge. They were both happy.
+Once upon a time, there was a sail. It was a big sail. The sail was on a boat. The boat went on the water. The sail helped the boat go fast.
+

+Tommy and his mommy went to the market. Tommy liked to go to the market because he could see all the people and the things they were selling. When they got to the market, Tommy saw a bossy bear. The bear was bossy because he was bossing all of the other animals around, telling them what to do.

+Ben sees Jen go outside. He feels sorry for her. He remembers how much she loves Stinky. He decides to help her. He grabs a flashlight and a coat. He follows her into the storm.
+
+They search and search. They hear a baa. They see a light. They run to it. They find Stinky. He is stuck in a fence. He is wet and cold. He is happy to see them. Jen hugs him. She thanks Ben. Ben smiles. He says, "I'm sorry I was mean to you. Your sheep is not smelly. He is brave and smart. He is your sheep. You love him. That is what matters."
+
+They free Stinky from the fence. They take him to the barn. They dry him and warm him. They cuddle with him and Snowy. They are happy. They say sorry to each other. They hug each other. They are friends again.
+
+Mom and dad come to the barn. They see them together. They are proud of them. They say, "You are good twins. You own your sheep, but you also share your love. You help each other. You are a team."
+
+Ben and Jen nod. They say, "We are a team. We love our sheep. We love each other. We are happy."
+Lily was a little girl who loved flowers. She liked to pick them and smell them and make them into crowns. One day, she saw a big field of yellow flowers that looked like the sun. She ran to them and started to pluck them with her hands.
+
+"Stop!" a voice said. Lily looked up and saw a boy standing by a fence. He had a hat and a shovel and a basket. "These are my flowers. You can't take them. They are for my mom. She is sick and needs them to feel better."
+
+Lily felt sorry for the boy and his mom, but she also wanted some flowers for herself. She said, "But they are so pretty. And there are so many. Can't I have just a few?"
+
+The boy shook his head. He said, "No, you can't. These flowers are special. They only bloom once a year. And they have a magic power. They can make people happy and strong. If you take them, they will die and lose their magic. And my mom will be sad and weak. Please, leave them alone."
+
+Lily thought about what the boy said. She remembered how her mom always gave her a hug and a kiss when she was sick or sad. She realized that the boy's mom needed the flowers more than she did. She said, "I'm sorry. I didn't know. I won't take any more flowers. I hope your mom gets well soon."
+
+The boy smiled. He said, "Thank you. You are very kind. Do you want to hear a lecture about these flowers? I know a lot about them. I can tell you their names and their stories and their secrets."
+
+Lily nodded. She liked to learn new things. She said, "Yes, please. I would love to hear a lecture about these flowers. They are very interesting."
+
+The boy and Lily sat down by the fence. He opened his basket and took out a book. He showed her the pictures and the words and told her all about the flowers. They were called sunflowers. They followed the sun from dawn to dusk. They had seeds that could feed birds and people. They had oil that could light lamps and cook food. They had an enormous heart that could love and heal.
+
+Lily listened and looked and asked questions. She learned a lot from the boy. She also made a new friend. She was happy and grateful. She realized that sometimes, the best things in life are not the things you take, but the things you give and share.
+Lily liked to play in the park with her mom. She liked to swing and slide and run. She also liked to look at the animals. She saw birds and dogs and cats. But her favorite animal was the squirrel.
+
+One day, she saw a squirrel that was different. It had no tail and its fur was gray and patchy. It looked sad and lonely. Lily thought it was ugly. She pointed at it and said, "Mom, look at that ugly squirrel!"
+
+Her mom looked at the squirrel and smiled. She said, "That squirrel is not ugly, Lily. It is special. It lost its tail in an accident, but it is still a squirrel. It can still climb and jump and find nuts. It is still a friend to the other squirrels. And it is still beautiful in its own way."
+
+Lily looked at the squirrel again. She saw that it was not sad and lonely. It was playing with another squirrel. They were chasing each other and sharing a nut. They looked happy and cute. Lily felt sorry for calling it ugly. She said, "Mom, you are right. That squirrel is not ugly. It is special. Can I play with it?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, you can, but be gentle and quiet. Squirrels are shy and wild. They may run away if you scare them. But if you are friendly and respectful, they may come closer and let you watch them play."
+
+Lily nodded and walked slowly to the squirrel. She said, "Hello, squirrel. I am Lily. I want to play with you. You are special and beautiful. Can I be your friend?" The squirrel looked at Lily and tilted its head. It made a soft noise and ran to the other squirrel. They both came back and sat on a branch near Lily. They gave her a nut and watched her with curiosity. Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, squirrel. You are very kind. I like you. You are my friend." The squirrel made another noise and nodded. They all played together until it was time to go home. Lily was happy. She had learned a lesson. She had made a new friend. She had found a special squirrel.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside when it is dark. They see the moon in the sky. The moon is big and bright. It has a face.
+
+"Hello, moon!" Anna says. "Can you speak to us?"
+
+The moon does not say anything. It just smiles.
+
+"Maybe the moon is shy," Ben says. "Or maybe it is too far away."
+
+They try to shout louder. "Hello, moon! We are Anna and Ben! We want to be your friends!"
+
+The moon still does not say anything. It just smiles.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They want to hear the moon's voice.
+
+They see a cloud in the sky. The cloud is thick and white. It covers the moon.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna says. "The cloud is hiding the moon!"
+
+"Go away, cloud!" Ben says. "We want to see the moon!"
+
+The cloud does not go away. It stays in front of the moon.
+
+Anna and Ben are angry. They want to see the moon's face.
+
+They start to cry. They cry very loud.
+
+The moon hears their cries. It feels sorry for them.
+
+It pushes the cloud away. It shows its face again.
+
+"Hello, Anna and Ben!" the moon says. "I can speak to you!"
+
+Anna and Ben are surprised. They stop crying.
+
+"Hello, moon!" they say. "You can speak to us!"
+
+"Yes, I can," the moon says. "But only when you are very quiet. I do not like loud noises. They hurt my ears."
+
+Anna and Ben are sorry. They say sorry to the moon.
+
+"We are sorry, moon," they say. "We did not know. We will be quiet now."
+
+The moon is happy. It says thank you to them.
+
+"Thank you, Anna and Ben," it says. "You are very kind. I like you. You can be my friends."
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They say thank you to the moon.
+
+"Thank you, moon," they say. "You are very nice. We like you. You are our friend."
+
+They smile at the moon. The moon smiles back.
+
+They talk to the moon. They ask it questions. They tell it stories.
+
+They have fun with the moon. They are not sad or angry anymore.
+
+They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play outside in the sun. But today it was raining. They had to stay inside. They were very bored.
+
+"Mom, can we watch TV?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, you have watched enough TV today. Why don't you play with your toys?" Mom said.
+
+"But we have played with all our toys. They are not fun anymore," Tom said.
+
+Mom thought for a moment. She had an idea. She gave Lily and Tom a flashlight and some paper.
+
+"Here, you can make shadows with the flashlight and the paper. You can cut out different shapes and see how they look on the wall. It is like a puppet show," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom were curious. They took the flashlight and the paper and went to their room. They turned off the light and turned on the flashlight. They cut out some circles, squares, triangles, and stars. They held them in front of the flashlight and moved them around.
+
+"Look, I made a moon!" Lily said.
+
+"And I made a star!" Tom said.
+
+They made more shapes and pretended they were animals, people, and things. They made sounds and stories with their shadows. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They forgot about the rain and the TV. They spent a long time playing with their shadows. They were not bored anymore.
+
+Mom came to check on them. She smiled when she saw them laughing and having fun.
+
+"See, you don't need TV to have fun. You can use your imagination and creativity. You can make your own fun with simple things," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They thanked Mom for the flashlight and the paper. They learned that playing with shadows was more fun than watching TV. They also learned that they could have fun even when it was raining. They hugged Mom and each other. They were happy.
+Tom and Sue like to play in the garden. They dig, they water, they smell the flowers. One day, they find a new plant. It has green leaves and a strong smell.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asks.
+
+"It is a herb," Sue says. "Mom uses it to cook. She says it makes the food yummy."
+
+"Can we eat it?" Tom wonders.
+
+"Maybe. Let's try," Sue says. She picks a leaf and puts it in her mouth. Tom does the same.
+
+But the herb is not yummy. It is bitter and spicy. Tom and Sue spit it out. They make faces and cough.
+
+"Yuck! This is bad!" Tom says.
+
+"Bad, bad herb!" Sue agrees.
+
+They run to the kitchen. They see a glass of juice on the table. They drink it fast, fast, fast. They hope it will make the bad taste go away.
+
+But the juice is not juice. It is vinegar. Mom uses it to clean. She says it makes the things shiny.
+
+Tom and Sue spit it out again. They make more faces and cough louder.
+
+"Yuck! This is worse!" Tom says.
+
+"Worse, worse vinegar!" Sue says.
+
+They run to the bathroom. They see a towel on the rack. They wipe their mouths and tongues. They hope it will make the bad taste and the bad smell go away.
+
+But the towel is not clean. It is dirty. Dad uses it to wipe his bike. He says it makes the bike fast.
+
+Tom and Sue smell the towel. They smell oil and dirt and sweat. They make the worst faces and cough the loudest.
+
+"Yuck! This is the worst!" Tom says.
+
+"Worst, worst towel!" Sue says.
+
+They hear Mom and Dad coming. They look at each other. They are in trouble.
+
+They run to their room. They hide under the bed. They hope Mom and Dad will not find them.
+
+But Mom and Dad know where they are. They follow the trail of spit and smell. They find them under the bed. They are not happy.
+
+"What have you done?" Mom asks.
+
+"Nothing," Tom and Sue say.
+
+But Mom and Dad do not believe them. They see the herb, the vinegar, and the towel. They know what they have done.
+
+They make them come out. They make them say sorry. They make them clean the mess. They make them brush their teeth.
+
+Tom and Sue learn their lesson. They do not eat the herb, drink the vinegar, or wipe with the towel. They do not play in the garden without asking. They do not hide under the bed.
+
+They play with their toys. They drink water. They use a clean towel.
+
+They are good. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play and laugh. They loved cake very much. Today was their birthday. Mom said she would make a big cake for them.
+
+But Mom was very busy. She had to work on her computer. She had to talk on the phone. She had to clean the house. She had to delay the cake. She said, "I'm sorry, kids. I will make the cake soon. Just wait a little bit."
+
+Lily and Tom waited. They waited a long time. They were hungry and bored. They saw the cake mix and the eggs and the milk on the table. They had an idea. They said, "Let's make the cake ourselves. It will be fun."
+
+They took the cake mix and the eggs and the milk. They did not know how to make a cake. They did not read the instructions. They did not measure the ingredients. They did not use a bowl or a mixer. They just poured everything on the table. They made a big mess.
+
+Mom came back. She saw the mess. She was very angry. She said, "What have you done? You ruined the cake. You wasted the food. You made a huge mess. You are very naughty. No cake for you today. Go to your room now."
+
+Lily and Tom cried. They did not have any cake. They did not have any fun. They had a bad birthday. They wished they had waited for Mom. They learned a lesson. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We will not do it again."
+Lily was a little girl who liked to ask questions. She wanted to know everything about the world. One day, she asked her mom, "What is life?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Life is a gift, Lily. It is what makes you breathe and laugh and love. It is what makes you you."
+
+Lily nodded, but she was not satisfied. She wanted to know more. She asked her dad, "What is life?"
+
+Her dad hugged her and said, "Life is a journey, Lily. It is what makes you learn and grow and explore. It is what makes you happy and sad and brave."
+
+Lily smiled, but she was still curious. She wanted to know even more. She asked her brother, "What is life?"
+
+Her brother rolled his eyes and said, "Life is a pain, Lily. It is what makes you do homework and chores and eat vegetables. It is what makes you bored and tired and annoyed."
+
+Lily frowned, but she was not done. She wanted to know the best answer. She asked her dog, "What is life?"
+
+Her dog wagged his tail and said, "Woof, woof, woof!"
+
+Lily laughed and said, "That is the best answer, dog. You are right. Life is fun and simple and good. It is what makes you play and cuddle and bark. It is what makes you my friend."
+
+Her mom, her dad, and her brother heard her and came to see. They saw Lily and her dog having a great time. They felt embarrassed that they did not have a better answer than the dog. They joined Lily and her dog and said, "You are right, Lily. Life is what you make of it. It is what makes us a family."
+Ben was a big boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a red car that could go fast and make noises. He played with his car every day and took it everywhere.
+
+One day, he went to the park with his mom and his car. He saw some other kids playing with a ball and wanted to join them. He left his car on a bench and ran to the ball. He had fun kicking and throwing the ball with the other kids.
+
+But when he came back to the bench, his car was gone. He looked around and saw a mean boy holding his car and laughing. The mean boy had broken his car and thrown the pieces in the trash. Ben felt very sad and angry. He ran to the mean boy and tried to get his car back, but the mean boy pushed him away and ran off.
+
+Ben cried and cried. He wanted his car back. He loved his car. He blinked his eyes and saw his mom coming to him. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. That was a very bad boy. He should not have taken your car and broken it. He should be ashamed of himself."
+
+Ben nodded and sniffed. He felt a little better. His mom said, "Come on, let's go home. We can get you a new car. But first, let's get the pieces of your old car from the trash. We don't want to waste them. Maybe we can fix them or use them for something else."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you." He and his mom went to the trash and picked up the pieces of his car. They put them in a bag and walked home. Ben hoped he would find a new car that he liked as much as his old one. He also hoped he would never see the mean boy again. He was a very bad boy. He was a very ashamed boy.
+Tom and Sue were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big yellow pan and some spoons and bowls.
+
+"Let's make a cake!" Sue said. "We need eggs and flour and sugar and milk."
+
+"OK!" Tom said. He opened the fridge and took out a carton of eggs. He tried to crack one on the edge of the pan, but he was not very careful. The egg slipped from his hand and splashed on the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Sue yelled. "You made a mess! Mom will be angry!"
+
+Tom felt bad. He did not mean to drop the egg. He wanted to help Sue make a cake. He looked at the floor and saw the egg white and yolk and shell. He started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sue!" he sobbed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
+
+Sue saw Tom crying and felt sorry for him too. She knew he was not a bad brother. He just made a mistake. She hugged him and said, "It's OK, Tom. Don't cry. We can clean it up. Mom will not be angry if we say sorry and help."
+
+They got some paper towels and wiped the egg from the floor. They threw the paper towels in the trash. They washed their hands and the pan. They smiled at each other and said, "Let's try again!"
+
+They cracked another egg in the pan and added the flour and sugar and milk. They stirred and stirred and poured the batter in a cake pan. They put the cake pan in the oven and waited for it to bake. They hoped it would be yummy. They were happy. They were good chefs.
+Tom and Anna are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They like to make them go fast and make loud noises. Tom has a red car and Anna has a blue car. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Tom's car stops moving. He tries to push it, but it does not go. He looks at the bottom of the car and sees a little door. He opens it and sees a battery. The battery is old and has no power.
+
+"Anna, look! My car needs a new battery!" Tom says.
+
+"Where can we get a new battery?" Anna asks.
+
+"Maybe in the kitchen. Mom has some in the drawer. Come on!" Tom says.
+
+They run to the kitchen and look for the drawer. They find it and open it. They see many things inside: spoons, forks, knives, scissors, and batteries. Tom reaches for a battery, but Anna stops him.
+
+"Tom, be careful! Don't touch the knives and scissors. They are sharp and can hurt you!" Anna says.
+
+"OK, OK. I will be careful." Tom says.
+
+He takes a battery and closes the drawer. He runs back to the living room with Anna. He puts the new battery in his car and closes the door. He pushes the car and it goes again. He is happy.
+
+"Yay! My car works again! Thank you, Anna!" Tom says.
+
+"You're welcome, Tom. Let's play some more!" Anna says.
+
+They play with their cars until mom calls them for dinner. They put their cars away and go to the kitchen. They wash their hands and sit at the table. They tell mom about their cars and the battery. Mom smiles and gives them a hug.
+
+"I'm glad you had fun, but remember to always ask me before you take anything from the drawer. Some things are scary and dangerous for little kids. OK?" Mom says.
+
+"OK, mom. We're sorry. We love you." Tom and Anna say.
+
+"I love you too, my sweeties. Now, let's eat!" Mom says.
+Sara and Tom are playing in the house. They like to count things. They count their toys, their fingers, their books. They have fun.
+
+"Let's count the stairs!" Sara says. "I like the stairs. They are big and many."
+
+"OK!" Tom says. "You go first. I will follow you."
+
+Sara and Tom go to the stairs. They start to count. "One, two, three, four, five..." Sara says. She jumps on each stair. Tom jumps after her.
+
+They get to the top of the stairs. They see a small door. They have never seen it before.
+
+"What is that?" Tom asks. He points to the door.
+
+"I don't know," Sara says. "Let's open it and see."
+
+They open the door. They see a small room. It has a window, a bed, a lamp, and a chest.
+
+"Wow!" Sara says. "This is a secret room. Maybe it is a magic room."
+
+"Maybe," Tom says. "Let's look inside the chest. Maybe there is treasure."
+
+They open the chest. They see a lot of things. They see clothes, books, toys, pictures.
+
+"Look!" Sara says. She holds a picture. It shows a boy and a girl. They look like Sara and Tom.
+
+"Who are they?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know," Sara says. "Maybe they are our family. Maybe they lived here before."
+
+"Maybe," Tom says. "They look nice. They look happy."
+
+Sara and Tom smile. They feel happy too. They like the secret room. They like the picture. They like to count. They like each other.
+Tom and Lily were playing near the rail. The rail was big and long and made of metal. Sometimes, a train would come and make a loud noise. Tom and Lily liked to watch the train and wave at the people inside.
+
+One day, they saw a smelly train. It was old and dirty and had smoke coming out of it. It made a lot of noise and went very slow. Tom and Lily did not like the smelly train. They covered their noses and ears.
+
+"Yuck, what is that?" Tom asked.
+
+"It is a smelly train," Lily replied.
+
+"Why is it so smelly?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is sick or old or has no friends," Lily replied.
+
+"Can we help it?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't think so. It is too big and too far. We can only say hello and be nice," Lily replied.
+
+"Okay, let's do that," Tom said.
+
+They waited for the smelly train to pass by. When it did, they smiled and waved and shouted, "Hello, smelly train! We hope you feel better soon!"
+
+The smelly train did not say anything back. But it seemed to smile a little and make a softer noise. Tom and Lily felt happy. They had made a new friend.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to race to the top.
+
+"Who can get there first?" Lily asks.
+
+"Me!" Max says. "I am fast and mighty!"
+
+They start to run. Lily is behind Max. She tries to catch up. She sees a flower on the ground. It is yellow and pretty. She stops to pick it up.
+
+Max reaches the top of the hill. He turns around and looks for Lily. He does not see her. He wonders where she is.
+
+"Lily, where are you?" he shouts.
+
+"I am here!" Lily says. She comes out from behind a bush. She has the flower in her mouth. She smiles.
+
+"Look what I found!" she says.
+
+Max sees the flower. He thinks it is nice. He is not angry that Lily stopped. He is happy that she is his friend.
+
+"Wow, that is a beautiful flower!" he says. "You can have it. You are fast and mighty, too!"
+
+They hug and laugh. They sit on the hill and look at the sky. They see clouds and birds. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were young friends who liked to play in the woods. They liked to find bugs, rocks, and leaves. One day, they saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go look, Lily!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben, but be quiet. Maybe there is an animal in there," Lily said.
+
+They walked to the tree and peeked inside. They saw a big owl with yellow eyes. The owl looked at them and made a loud sound.
+
+"Hoo! Hoo!" the owl said.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They ran away from the tree and hid behind a bush.
+
+"Shh, Lily, don't make a sound. The owl might find us," Ben said.
+
+"I don't like the owl, Ben. He is mean and scary," Lily said.
+
+They waited for a long time. They hoped the owl would go away. They heard the owl make more sounds.
+
+"Hoo! Hoo! Where are you, little ones? I want to play with you," the owl said.
+
+Lily and Ben did not believe the owl. They thought he wanted to hurt them. They stayed very still and quiet. They wished they were home with their mom and dad.
+
+After a while, they did not hear the owl anymore. They looked around and saw that the sun was going down. They decided to go back to their house.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go. The owl is gone. We are safe now," Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben, let's go. But next time, let's not go near the big tree. The owl is not nice. He is not our friend," Lily said.
+
+They held hands and ran to their house. They told their mom and dad what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were brave. They gave them cookies and milk and read them a story. They said they loved them and tucked them in bed. Lily and Ben felt happy and safe. They dreamed of nice things, not of the owl.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has swings, slides and a big pond. Anna and Ben run to the park every day after school.
+
+One day, they see a new toy in the park. It is a big red car. It has four wheels, a horn and a shiny roof. Anna and Ben want to play with the car. They run to the car and try to open the door.
+
+"Stop!" a voice says. It is a man. He is wearing a suit and a hat. He looks angry. "This is my car. It is not a toy. It is very expensive. You cannot touch it."
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They do not like the man. They do not understand why he is so mean. They think the car looks fun.
+
+"Sorry, sir," Anna says. "We did not know. We just wanted to play."
+
+"Well, you cannot play with my car. Go away and find something else to play with. And do not come near my car again," the man says.
+
+Anna and Ben run away from the car. They feel sad and angry. They do not like the park anymore. They decide to go home and play with their own toys. They think the man is silly. They think the car is not very expensive. They think the car is just a big red toy.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with their bikes. One day, they see a big truck on their street. The truck has many boxes. The truck driver is deaf. He cannot hear well.
+
+The truck driver stops near a house. He takes a box from the truck. He wants to deliver the box to the house. He knocks on the door. No one answers. He knocks again. Still no one answers.
+
+Tom and Lily are curious. They ride their bikes to the truck. They see the box. The box has a picture of a stand. The stand has many books. Tom and Lily love books.
+
+"Hello, mister," Tom says to the truck driver. "What is in the box?"
+
+The truck driver does not hear Tom. He looks at his paper. He checks the address. He thinks he is at the wrong house.
+
+"Hello, mister," Lily says louder. "Can we see the box?"
+
+The truck driver does not hear Lily. He puts the box back in the truck. He starts the engine. He wants to find the right house.
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They want to see the box. They want to see the stand. They want to see the books.
+
+"Wait, mister," Tom shouts. "We want to help you."
+
+The truck driver does not hear Tom. He drives away. He leaves Tom and Lily behind.
+
+Tom and Lily are disappointed. They look at each other. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's make our own stand," Lily says.
+
+"Let's use our books," Tom says.
+
+They ride their bikes to their homes. They get their books. They find a table and a chair. They make a stand. They put their books on the stand. They are happy.
+
+They invite their friends to see their stand. They share their books. They read and laugh. They have fun.
+
+They forget about the truck. They forget about the box. They have their own stand. They have their own books. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big mill near the river. The mill had a wheel that turned and made noise. Anna and Ben wanted to go inside the mill and see what was there.
+
+"Let's go, Ben!" Anna said. "Maybe we can find something fun in the mill."
+
+"No, Anna," Ben said. "We can't go in the mill. It is not our mill. It is someone else's mill. They might get mad at us."
+
+"But I want to go, Ben!" Anna said. "Please, please, please!"
+
+Anna and Ben started to argue. They did not see the man who came out of the mill. He was the miller who worked in the mill. He heard the twins and walked towards them.
+
+"Hello, children," the miller said. "What are you doing here?"
+
+Anna and Ben stopped arguing and looked at the miller. They felt scared and shy.
+
+"We are sorry, sir," Ben said. "We just wanted to see the mill. We did not mean to bother you."
+
+The miller smiled. He was a kind and thoughtful man. He liked children and he liked his mill.
+
+"It's okay, children," the miller said. "I understand. The mill is very interesting. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They were happy and curious.
+
+"Come with me, then," the miller said. "I will show you the mill and tell you how it works. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The mill can be dangerous if you don't."
+
+Anna and Ben followed the miller into the mill. They saw the big wheel, the gears, the stones, and the flour. The miller explained everything to them. Anna and Ben learned a lot and had fun. They thanked the miller for his kindness and his time.
+
+"You're welcome, children," the miller said. "You are very polite and smart. Come back anytime you want. But remember to ask me first, okay?"
+
+Anna and Ben agreed. They said goodbye to the miller and ran back to their home. They told their mom and dad about the mill and the miller. They were glad they met him. He was a good friend.
+Anna and Ben were twins who did not like vegetables. They always made faces when their mom put them on their plates. They said vegetables were boring and yucky. They only wanted to eat cake and candy.
+
+One day, their mom took them to visit their grandma, who lived on a farm. Grandma was very happy to see them and gave them a big hug. She said, "Welcome, my dear children. I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the garden."
+
+Anna and Ben followed their grandma to the garden, where they saw many different vegetables growing. There were carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, beans, and more. Grandma said, "These are my vegetables. I grow them with love and care. They are good for you and tasty. Do you want to help me pick some for lunch?"
+
+Anna and Ben were curious and decided to try. They helped their grandma pull out the carrots, pluck the tomatoes, cut the lettuce, and snap the beans. They had fun and learned the names and colors of the vegetables. They also smelled and touched them and found out they were not boring at all.
+
+When they went back to the house, their grandma cooked the vegetables and made a delicious soup. She served it to Anna and Ben and said, "Enjoy, my dear children. This is a special soup made with fresh vegetables from the garden. You helped me make it, so you should be proud."
+
+Anna and Ben tasted the soup and were surprised. It was not yucky, but yummy. They liked the flavors and textures of the vegetables. They ate the whole bowl and asked for more. They said, "Thank you, grandma. This is the best soup ever. We love your vegetables. They are not boring, but amazing."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you like them, my dear children. You see, vegetables are good for you and tasty. You should eat them more often. They will make you strong and healthy."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and agreed. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to appreciate and enjoy vegetables. They also learned to respect and thank their grandma for her hard work and love. They said, "We love you, grandma. You are the best. You taught us something new and important. You are not boring, but wonderful."
+Tim and Anna like to play with their vehicles. They have cars, trucks, buses and trains. They make noises and pretend to drive them on the floor. One day, they go to the park with their mom. They bring their vehicles in a big bag.
+
+At the park, they see a slide, a swing, a sandbox and a seesaw. They want to try them all. They leave their bag under a tree and run to the slide. They take turns to slide down and laugh. Then they go to the swing. They push each other and go higher and higher. Then they go to the sandbox. They make castles and dig holes. Then they go to the seesaw. They balance and bounce.
+
+They have so much fun that they forget about their vehicles. They do not see a man who walks by the tree. He sees the bag and thinks it is his. He picks it up and walks away. He does not know that the bag has vehicles inside.
+
+When Tim and Anna are tired, they go back to the tree. They look for their bag, but they do not see it. They feel sad and scared. They cry and call their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, where are our vehicles?" they say.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the tree. She sees that the bag is gone. She asks them what happened. They tell her that they played and forgot about their vehicles. She hugs them and says:
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves. Someone took your bag by mistake. Maybe he thought it was his. Maybe he will bring it back. But if he doesn't, we can buy new vehicles. They are just ordinary toys. You are more important to me than any toy. I love you very much."
+
+Tim and Anna feel a little better. They still miss their vehicles, but they know that mom loves them. They hope that the man will realize his error and return their bag. They also hope that he will not break their vehicles or throw them away. They wish that he will be kind and honest.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to dig in the dirt and look for worms. She thought worms were funny and friendly. She wanted to find a big worm and show it to her mom.
+
+One day, she found a very big worm under a leaf. She was very happy and picked it up gently. She said to the worm, "Hello, worm. You are so big and long. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The worm did not say anything. It just wiggled in her hand. Lily thought the worm was shy. She said, "Don't be scared, worm. I will not hurt you. I will take you to my mom. She will like you too."
+
+She started to walk to the house with the worm. But then, she saw a robin on the fence. The robin saw the worm too. It flew down and tried to grab the worm from Lily's hand. Lily was scared and angry. She said, "No, robin! This is my worm. You cannot have it. Go away!"
+
+She turned around and ran to the house. The robin followed her and kept trying to get the worm. Lily shouted, "Help, mom! Help!"
+
+Her mom heard her and came out of the door. She saw Lily and the robin and the worm. She said, "Lily, what is going on? Why are you running with a worm?"
+
+Lily said, "Mom, this is my friend, the worm. He is very big and long. I found him in the garden. But the robin wants to eat him. He is not nice. He is mean. Please help me save the worm."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Lily, you are very kind and helpful to the worm. But you know, worms and robins are both part of nature. They have their own roles and needs. The worm helps the soil and the plants. The robin helps the seeds and the bugs. Sometimes, the robin needs to eat the worm to survive. That is how it is."
+
+Lily looked at the worm and the robin. She felt sad and confused. She said, "But mom, I like the worm. He is my friend. I don't want him to be eaten."
+
+Her mom said, "I understand, Lily. But maybe you can let the worm go back to the garden. He will be safer and happier there. And maybe you can find another friend to play with. How about a toy or a book or a ball?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "Okay, mom. I will let the worm go. But I will say goodbye to him first. And I will tell him to be careful of the robin."
+
+She went back to the garden and put the worm on the ground. She said, "Goodbye, worm. Thank you for being my friend. You are very big and long. I hope you have a good life. Watch out for the robin. He is not nice. He is mean."
+
+The worm wiggled and burrowed into the dirt. Lily waved to him and smiled. She said, "Bye, worm. Maybe I will see you again someday."
+
+She went back to the house with her mom. She said, "Mom, can we play with a toy or a book or a ball?"
+
+Her mom said, "Sure, Lily. We can play with anything you want. You are a good girl and a good friend. I love you."
+
+Lily hugged her mom and said, "I love you too, mom. You are very helpful and nice. You are not mean. You are the best."
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toy planes in the garden. They liked to make them fly and zoom in the air. They pretended they were pilots and had fun adventures.
+
+"Look, Lila, my plane has a red wing and a blue wing. It is very fast and strong," Ben said, showing his plane to his sister.
+
+"My plane has a yellow wing and a green wing. It is very pretty and smart," Lila said, showing her plane to her brother.
+
+They flew their planes together and made noises like engines and horns. They were having a good time.
+
+But then, a big dog came into the garden. It saw the toy planes and wanted to play with them. It ran towards them and barked loudly. It jumped and caught Ben's plane in its mouth. It bit and shook it hard. It destroyed the plane and made it break into pieces.
+
+"Hey, stop, bad dog! You ruined my plane! You broke my wing!" Ben shouted, trying to get his plane back. He was very sad and angry.
+
+Lila was scared of the dog. She ran to her plane and picked it up. She hugged it and tried to protect it. She hoped the dog would not see her plane and destroy it too.
+
+"Go away, dog! Leave us alone! You are not nice!" Lila yelled, waving her arms.
+
+The dog heard Lila and looked at her. It saw her plane and wanted it too. It dropped Ben's plane and ran to Lila. It tried to grab her plane from her hands. It growled and snarled.
+
+Lila screamed and held on to her plane. She did not want to lose it. She loved her plane.
+
+But then, their mom came out of the house. She heard the noise and saw the dog. She was not happy. She shouted at the dog and scared it away. She picked up Ben and Lila and took them inside. She checked if they were hurt and gave them hugs and kisses.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids, that dog was very naughty. It should not have come into our garden and destroyed your planes. Are you okay?" Mom asked, looking at them.
+
+Ben was still crying. He showed Mom his plane. It was empty and broken. He had no wing left. He felt very bad.
+
+Lila was still shaking. She showed Mom her plane. It was dirty and scratched. She had one wing left. She felt very lucky.
+
+Mom felt sorry for them. She said she would try to fix their planes or buy them new ones. She said they could play with other toys for now. She said they were brave and good.
+
+Ben and Lila thanked Mom and hugged her. They felt better. They decided to play with their cars and trucks instead. They hoped the dog would not come back. They hoped their planes would fly again.
+Ben and Lily are playing in the hall. They have many toys, but they want to pick one to share. Ben likes the truck, and Lily likes the doll. They do not agree.
+
+"Let me have the truck!" Ben says. He tries to grab it from Lily.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily says. She holds it tight.
+
+They start to pull and tug. The truck makes a loud noise. It scares them.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. She comes out of the kitchen. She looks angry.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Ben and Lily say. They let go of the truck.
+
+Mom picks up the truck and the doll. She gives them to Ben and Lily.
+
+"You need to learn to share and take turns," Mom says. "You can both play with the truck and the doll, but not at the same time. How about you switch every five minutes?"
+
+Ben and Lily nod. They think that is fair.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," they say. "You are dependable. You always help us."
+
+Mom smiles. She hugs them.
+
+"You are welcome, my loves," she says. "Now, play nicely in the hall. And be careful not to break anything."
+Anna and Ben are healthy youths who like to play outside. They have a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also have a dog named Spot who likes to run and bark.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben hear a knock on the door. They run to see who it is. They see a man with a big bag and a hat. He smiles and says, "Hello, I am a mailman. I have a letter for your mom and dad. Can you answer me a question?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They like to answer questions. They are smart and curious.
+
+The mailman takes out a letter and shows them a picture on it. It is a picture of a flag with red and white stripes and blue stars. He asks, "Do you know what this flag is called?"
+
+Anna and Ben think hard. They have seen this flag before, but they do not remember its name. They look at each other and shake their heads. They do not know the answer.
+
+The mailman smiles again and says, "That's okay. This flag is called the American flag. It is the flag of your country. You live in America. Do you know what America is?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod again. They know what America is. It is a big place with many people and animals and things. They say, "America is our home. We love America."
+
+The mailman claps his hands and says, "That's right. You are very good youths. You love your home and your country. Here, you can have this sticker of the flag. It is a gift for you. You can stick it on your swing or your slide or your sandbox. Or you can give it to your mom and dad."
+
+Anna and Ben thank the mailman and take the sticker. They are happy and proud. They have a new sticker and they have learned a new word. They say goodbye to the mailman and run to show their sticker to Spot. They stick it on his collar and hug him. They say, "Spot, you are an American dog. You are our friend. We love you."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen with their mom. Mom is very organized. She has a place for everything. She teaches Lily and Ben how to cook and bake.
+
+One day, mom is making apple pie. She gives Lily and Ben some dough to play with. They roll it and cut it with cookie cutters. They make stars and hearts and circles. They are very happy.
+
+Mom says, "Now we need to pinch the edges of the pie crust. Can you help me?" Lily and Ben nod. They go to the big table where mom has the pie pan. They see the apples and the sugar and the cinnamon. They smell very good.
+
+Mom shows them how to pinch the dough with their fingers. She says, "This makes the pie look pretty and keeps the filling inside." Lily and Ben try to pinch the dough. They are careful not to break it. They pinch all around the pie pan.
+
+Mom says, "Good job! You are very good helpers. Now we can put the pie in the oven and wait for it to bake." She puts the pie in the oven and sets the timer. She says, "Do you want to taste the filling?" Lily and Ben say, "Yes, please!" Mom gives them each a spoonful of the apple mixture. They taste it. It is sweet and sour and spicy. They like it very much.
+
+They say, "Thank you, mom! We can't wait to eat the pie!" Mom says, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm sure the pie will be delicious. But first, we have to clean up the kitchen. Can you help me?" Lily and Ben say, "Yes, mom!" They help mom wash the dishes and put them away. They are very organized. They are very happy.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pine tree. It has many green needles and brown cones.
+
+"Let's do something fun with the pine tree," Lila says.
+
+"What do you want to do?" Ben asks.
+
+"Let's climb it and see how high we can go," Lila says.
+
+They run to the pine tree and start to climb. They grab the needles and the cones and pull themselves up. They feel happy and brave.
+
+They climb higher and higher, until they reach the top. They look around and see the park, the sky, and the birds.
+
+"Wow, this is so cool," Lila says.
+
+"Yeah, this is crazy," Ben says.
+
+They smile at each other and hug.
+
+But then, they hear a loud crack. The pine tree is breaking. It is too old and weak to hold them.
+
+They scream and try to hold on, but it is too late. The pine tree falls to the ground, with them on it.
+
+They hit the ground hard and feel pain. They cry and bleed. They are hurt and scared.
+
+No one hears them or sees them. They are alone and sad.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has swings, slides, and a sandbox. Lily and Tom run to the swings. They take turns to push each other.
+
+"Higher, higher!" Lily says. Tom pushes her hard. She feels the wind in her hair. She sees the blue sky. The sky is clear and bright. She smiles.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Tom says. He points to a bird on a tree. The bird is blue too. It sings a song. Lily and Tom listen. They like the song.
+
+"Can we feed the bird?" Lily asks. Tom nods. He has some bread in his pocket. He breaks the bread into small pieces. He throws them to the bird. The bird flies down. It eats the bread. It says thank you.
+
+"Thank you, bird!" Lily and Tom say. They wave to the bird. The bird waves back. It flies away. Lily and Tom go to the slide. They have more fun in the park. They are happy.
+Anna is a little girl who likes math. She likes to count and add and take away. She has a math book with many fun problems. She brings her math book to school every day.
+
+One day, a boy named Ben sees Anna's math book. He thinks math is hard and boring. He wants to play with cars and balls. He takes Anna's math book and hides it under his desk. He laughs and says, "Math is for babies. You don't need this book. You should play with me."
+
+Anna is sad and angry. She looks for her math book everywhere. She asks her teacher and her friends, but no one knows where it is. She misses her math book and wants to do her problems.
+
+The teacher sees that Anna is upset. She asks her what is wrong. Anna tells her that someone took her math book and she can't find it. The teacher says, "That is not nice. Who would do that?"
+
+The teacher looks around the class and sees Ben's guilty face. She goes to his desk and finds Anna's math book. She takes it and gives it back to Anna. She says, "Ben, did you take Anna's math book?" Ben nods and looks down. He says, "I'm sorry. I was just joking. I didn't mean to make her sad."
+
+The teacher says, "Ben, you should not take things that are not yours. That is stealing. And you should not make fun of people who like different things than you. That is mean. Math is not for babies. Math is for everyone who wants to learn and have fun. You should apologize to Anna and try to be a good friend."
+
+Ben says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was wrong. Can I see your math book? Maybe you can teach me some math. It looks fun." Anna smiles and says, "Sure, Ben. I can show you how to count and add and take away. Math is fun. And maybe you can show me how to play with cars and balls. They look fun too."
+
+Anna and Ben become friends. They share their math book and their toys. They learn from each other and have fun. They learn that it is good to be kind and respectful and curious. They learn that math is for everyone.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to dress them up in different clothes and pretend they were doctors, teachers, or superheroes. Lily had a pink dress for her doll and Ben had a blue cape for his.
+
+"Look, my doll is an incredible superhero!" Ben said. "She can fly and save people from danger!"
+
+"That's nice, but my doll is an incredible doctor!" Lily said. "She can heal people who are sick or hurt!"
+
+They both smiled and hugged their dolls. They were having fun.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was an ambulance. It was driving very fast and had a siren and lights. It stopped near the park. Lily and Ben saw some people get out of the ambulance. They had white clothes and bags. They ran to a man who was lying on the ground. He looked pale and sad.
+
+"What's wrong with him?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, maybe he is sick or hurt," Ben said.
+
+"Can they help him?" Lily asked.
+
+"I hope so, they are doctors too," Ben said.
+
+They watched as the people from the ambulance checked the man and gave him some medicine. They put him on a stretcher and lifted him into the ambulance. They drove away with the siren and lights again.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for the man. They hoped he would be okay.
+
+"Maybe our dolls can send him some love and make him feel better," Lily said.
+
+"That's a good idea," Ben said.
+
+They held their dolls close to their hearts and said, "We love you, man. We hope you get well soon."
+
+They felt a warm and happy feeling inside. They were incredible friends.
+Ben and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and blocks and books. But they did not like to share. Sometimes they fought over their toys and said mean things.
+
+One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was full of old clothes and hats and masks. They decided to play dress up. They put on different outfits and pretended to be different people.
+
+Ben found a scary mask. It looked like a monster with big teeth and horns. He put it on and said, "Boo! I am a monster! I will eat you!"
+
+Sam was scared. He did not like the mask. He said, "Stop it, Ben! That is not funny! Take off the mask!"
+
+But Ben did not listen. He liked to scare Sam. He said, "No, I will not take off the mask! I am the original monster! You are a chicken!"
+
+Sam got angry. He said, "Quit it, Ben! You are not a monster! You are a bad friend! I do not want to play with you anymore!"
+
+He grabbed the mask and tried to pull it off Ben's face. But the mask was stuck. It was too tight. Ben screamed. He could not breathe. He could not see. He could not hear.
+
+Sam was scared. He did not mean to hurt Ben. He said, "I am sorry, Ben! I am sorry! Please be okay!"
+
+But it was too late. Ben was not okay. He was gone. The mask had killed him. Sam cried. He wished he had shared. He wished he had been nice. He wished he had not played dress up. He wished he had not found the monster mask.
+Sam and Anna are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big truck on the road. The truck is very loud and fast.
+
+"Look, mom, a truck!" Sam says.
+
+"Yes, that's a truck. It carries things from one place to another," mom says.
+
+They observe the truck as it passes by. They see other cars and bikes and buses on the road too. They hear horns and sirens and engines. They see lights and signs and people. They learn about traffic.
+
+"Traffic is when many things move on the road," mom says.
+
+"Can we move on the road too?" Anna asks.
+
+"No, sweetie, the road is not safe for us. We have to stay on the sidewalk or cross at the zebra," mom says.
+
+"What's a zebra?" Sam asks.
+
+"A zebra is a place where the road has black and white stripes. It tells the traffic to stop and let us go," mom says.
+
+They walk to the zebra and wait for the green man to show up. They hold mom's hand and look both ways. They see a bird on the road. The bird is not moving. It has blood on its feathers.
+
+"Mom, what's wrong with the bird?" Anna asks.
+
+"The bird is dead, honey. It means it can't breathe or feel or fly anymore. Something hurt it very bad," mom says.
+
+"Did the traffic hurt it?" Sam asks.
+
+"Maybe, or maybe it was sick or old. We don't know for sure. But we can say a prayer for the bird and hope it finds peace," mom says.
+
+They say a prayer for the bird and cross the road. They go to the park and play with their ball and their kite. They forget about the dead bird and the traffic. They have fun and laugh and hug. They love their mom and each other. They are happy.
+Tim and Lily like to play with bubbles. They have a big bottle of soap and a wand. They blow the wand and make many bubbles. The bubbles are round and shiny. They float in the air and make colors.
+
+Tim and Lily try to catch the bubbles. They run and jump and clap their hands. Some bubbles pop and make a wet sound. Some bubbles remain and fly away. Tim and Lily laugh and have fun.
+
+But then the wind blows hard. The wind takes the bubbles far away. Tim and Lily cannot see them anymore. They are sad. They want more bubbles.
+
+They look at the bottle of soap. It is empty. There is no more soap. They look at the wand. It is black. It has no more soap. They look at each other. They are sad.
+
+Then Lily has an idea. She says, "Let's make our own soap!" She runs to the kitchen. She finds a clear bowl and a spoon. She fills the bowl with water. She adds some sugar and some salt. She stirs the water with the spoon. She says, "This is our soap!"
+
+She brings the bowl and the spoon to Tim. She dips the spoon in the bowl. She blows the spoon and makes a bubble. The bubble is small and white. It pops quickly. Tim and Lily smile. They try to make more bubbles. They are happy. They have fun.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a big doll with a pink dress and a hat. Ben had a small car with four wheels and a horn. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see each other's toys.
+
+"Can I examine your doll?" Ben asked Sara.
+
+"OK, but be careful. She is very spoiled and does not like to share," Sara said.
+
+Ben took the doll and looked at her face, her hair, and her dress. He tried to make her talk, but she did not say anything. He got bored and gave her back to Sara.
+
+"Can I examine your car?" Sara asked Ben.
+
+"OK, but be gentle. He is very fast and does not like to stop," Ben said.
+
+Sara took the car and looked at its wheels, its horn, and its color. She tried to make it move, but it did not go anywhere. She got frustrated and gave it back to Ben.
+
+They looked at each other and sighed. They did not like each other's toys. They did not have a match.
+
+"Let's play something else," Sara suggested.
+
+"OK, what do you want to play?" Ben asked.
+
+They thought for a moment and then smiled. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek!" they said together.
+
+They ran to find a good hiding spot and started to count. They were happy and forgot about their toys. They had a game.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big lamp. The lamp gives light when it is dark.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben want to make a fort. They use their blankets and pillows. They also use a sack. The sack is big and brown. It has some old clothes inside. Sara and Ben empty the sack and use it as a roof for their fort.
+
+"Look, our fort is ready!" Sara says. "Let's go inside and read a story."
+
+"OK, but we need the lamp," Ben says. "It is too dark inside the fort."
+
+Ben goes to get the lamp. He tries to carry it, but it is heavy. He drops it on the floor. The lamp breaks. Glass and wires are everywhere.
+
+"Oh no, the lamp is broken!" Ben cries. "Mom will be angry!"
+
+Sara hears Ben and comes out of the fort. She sees the mess. She feels sorry for Ben.
+
+"Don't cry, Ben," Sara says. "It was an accident. We can clean it up."
+
+Sara and Ben get a broom and a dustpan. They sweep the glass and the wires. They put them in a trash bag. They also put the broken lamp in the bag.
+
+"Thank you, Sara," Ben says. "You are very helpful."
+
+"You're welcome, Ben," Sara says. "You are helpful too. We are a good team."
+
+Sara and Ben hug. They are happy. They go back to their fort. They read a story with a flashlight. They have fun.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to pick flowers. She had a lovely basket that her grandma gave her. It was blue and yellow and had a big bow on it. Lily wanted to fill her basket with flowers for her grandma.
+
+One sunny day, Lily went to the meadow with her basket. She saw many flowers of different colors. She stepped on the grass and picked some red roses, some yellow daisies, some purple violets and some white lilies. She put them in her basket and smiled.
+
+But then she saw a big bee. The bee was buzzing near a pink flower. Lily wanted the pink flower too. She stepped closer to the bee and reached for the flower. But the bee did not like that. The bee stung Lily on her hand. Lily cried out loud and dropped her basket.
+
+Her mommy heard her cry and ran to her. She hugged Lily and took her hand. She saw the bee sting and said, "Oh, poor Lily. You have a boo-boo. Let me kiss it and make it better." She kissed Lily's hand and put a band-aid on it. She picked up Lily's basket and said, "Look, you have so many lovely flowers. Let's go home and give them to grandma. She will be very happy."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She still felt a little pain in her hand, but she felt better with her mommy's hug and kiss. She held her basket and walked with her mommy. She hoped her grandma would like her flowers. She thought the flowers were lovely, even the pink one that the bee liked.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the sand with their buckets and shovels. They liked to make castles and tunnels and pretend they were kings and queens. They did not see the dark clouds in the sky or hear the wind blowing louder and louder.
+
+"Look, Sara, I made a big tower!" Ben said, showing his sister his sand creation.
+
+"That's nice, Ben, but mine is bigger and prettier!" Sara said, pointing to her castle with shells and sticks.
+
+They started to argue about whose sand work was better, when their mom called them from the porch.
+
+"Kids, come inside now! There's a hurricane coming and we have to be safe!" she said, sounding worried.
+
+"A hurricane? What's that?" Ben asked, dropping his shovel.
+
+"It's a very large and strong storm that can blow things away and make a lot of noise and rain. We have to go inside and close the windows and doors and wait until it passes," mom explained, grabbing their hands and leading them to the house.
+
+Sara and Ben felt scared and curious. They had never seen a hurricane before. They wondered what it would look like and how long it would last.
+
+They followed their mom inside and helped her to serve some snacks and water on the table. They sat down and listened to the radio that told them about the hurricane and how to stay safe. They heard the wind howling and the rain pounding on the roof. They saw the trees bending and the trash cans flying.
+
+They hugged their mom and each other and hoped the hurricane would go away soon. They wished they had not fought over their sand works. They realized they were not important compared to being together and being safe. They said they were sorry and they loved each other. They prayed for the hurricane to stop and for the sun to come back.
+Lily and Max were in the car with Mom and Dad. They were going to the zoo to see the animals. Lily was very excited. She loved animals. Max was bored. He wanted to play with his toys.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a big sign with a picture of a lion!" Mom said, pointing to a billboard on the road. "That is one of the animals we will see at the zoo."
+
+"Wow, the lion has a big mane and sharp teeth!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "I want to see the lion!"
+
+Max looked at the billboard and frowned. He did not like the lion. He thought it was scary and mean. He wished he had his toy car with him.
+
+When they got to the zoo, Mom and Dad bought tickets and gave them to a bald man at the gate. The bald man smiled and said, "Welcome to the zoo! Have a fun day!"
+
+"Thank you!" Mom and Dad said. They took Lily and Max by the hand and walked inside.
+
+"Can we see the lion first?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, let's go to the lion enclosure," Mom said.
+
+They followed the signs and soon they arrived at a big cage with a fence and a glass wall. Inside the cage, there was a lion lying on a rock. He looked sleepy and bored.
+
+"Look, there he is!" Lily said, pointing to the lion. "He is so big and beautiful!"
+
+She ran to the glass wall and pressed her nose against it. She wanted to get closer to the lion.
+
+Max stayed behind with Mom and Dad. He did not want to go near the lion. He thought the lion might wake up and roar and bite them.
+
+"Hello, lion!" Lily said, waving her hand. "My name is Lily. What is your name?"
+
+The lion opened one eye and looked at Lily. He did not say anything. He closed his eye and yawned.
+
+Lily was not discouraged. She kept talking to the lion. She told him about her family, her friends, her toys, and her favorite things.
+
+The lion did not seem to care. He ignored Lily and tried to sleep.
+
+Max watched Lily and shook his head. He thought she was silly and brave. He wondered why she liked the lion so much.
+
+Suddenly, the lion lifted his head and roared. He showed his teeth and claws. He looked angry and hungry.
+
+Lily screamed and jumped back. She ran to Mom and Dad and hugged them. She was scared and sorry.
+
+The lion roared again and then lay down on the rock. He looked satisfied and smug.
+
+Max smiled and said, "I told you the lion was scary and mean. He did not want to be your friend. He wanted to eat you!"
+
+Lily looked at Max and said, "You were right, Max. The lion was not nice. He was rude and mean. He did not want to talk to me. He wanted to scare me!"
+
+Mom and Dad hugged Lily and Max and said, "It's okay, kids. The lion can't hurt you. He is behind the glass. He was just trying to protect his territory. He did not like being disturbed. He is not used to people."
+
+They took Lily and Max away from the lion enclosure and said, "Let's go see some other animals. Maybe they will be more friendly and polite."
+
+Lily and Max nodded and followed Mom and Dad. They hoped to find some animals that would like to be introduced.
+Tom was a lonely boy. He had no friends to play with. He only had a bag of marbles that he liked to roll on the floor. One day, he saw a big truck outside his window. It had a hose that could spray water very high. Tom wanted to try it.
+
+He ran outside and grabbed the hose. He turned it on and started to spray water everywhere. He laughed and felt happy. He did not see the man who owned the truck. The man was angry. He shouted at Tom.
+
+"Hey, kid, stop that! You are wasting water and making a mess! Give me back my hose!"
+
+Tom was scared. He dropped the hose and ran back to his house. He left his bag of marbles on the ground. The man saw the marbles and picked them up. He put them in his pocket.
+
+Tom cried. He had lost his marbles and his fun. He wished he had not sprayed the water. He wished he had asked the man first. He wished he had friends to share his marbles with.
+
+The next day, there was a knock on his door. It was the man with the truck. He had a smile on his face. He gave Tom his bag of marbles back. He also gave him a toy truck that could spray water.
+
+"I'm sorry I yelled at you yesterday. I was in a hurry and I was worried about my job. I know you were just curious and wanted to have fun. Here, take these. Maybe you can find some friends to play with."
+
+Tom was happy. He thanked the man and hugged him. He learned a lesson. He learned that spraying water was not bad, but he had to be careful and respectful. He learned that sharing was good, and that he could make friends. He was not lonely anymore.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to share everything. They shared their toys, their books, and their snacks. One day, their mom gave them each a big cookie with chocolate chips. They were very happy and thanked their mom.
+
+"Can I taste your cookie?" Tom asked Lily.
+
+"Sure, you can have a bite. And I can taste yours too," Lily said. They swapped their cookies and took a bite. They smiled and said, "Yummy!"
+
+They were about to swap back their cookies when they saw a little boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and hungry. He had no cookie, no snack, no mom.
+
+"Who is he?" Tom asked Lily.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe he is lost. Maybe he is poor. Maybe he is lonely," Lily said.
+
+They felt sorry for the boy. They looked at their cookies. They looked at each other.
+
+"Let's give him our cookies," Tom said.
+
+"OK, let's do it," Lily said.
+
+They walked over to the boy and offered him their cookies. The boy was surprised and shy. He took the cookies and said, "Thank you. You are very generous."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome. We hope you like them."
+
+They sat next to the boy and talked to him. They found out his name was Sam and he lived in a shelter with his dad. They became friends and played together.
+
+Their mom came back and saw them. She was proud of them. She gave them a big hug and said, "You are very kind and generous. You made a new friend and shared your cookies. I love you very much."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged their mom and said, "We love you too, mom. And we love Sam. He is our friend."
+
+They invited Sam to come with them to their home. Sam was happy and agreed. They all went home together, holding hands.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Be generous and kind to others. You can make new friends and make someone happy.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They knew the path that led to their home, but sometimes they wanted to explore new places. One day, they saw a big hill with many trees and rocks. Tom said, "Let's go up there and see what we can find." Sam said, "But Mom told us not to go too far. It might be dangerous." Tom said, "Don't be scared. I dare you to follow me. It will be fun."
+
+So they climbed the hill, jumping over roots and stones. They saw many birds and squirrels and flowers. They felt happy and brave. But they did not notice that the sun was going down and the sky was getting dark. They also did not notice that they had lost the path that led to their home. They kept walking until they reached the top of the hill. There they saw a big cave with a sign that said, "Beware of the bear."
+
+Tom said, "Wow, look at that. Maybe there is a bear inside. Let's go and see." Sam said, "No, Tom, that is a bad idea. Bears are big and strong and hungry. They might eat us. Let's go back." Tom said, "Don't be silly. There is no bear. It is just a sign. I dare you to go inside with me. It will be exciting."
+
+So they went inside the cave, holding hands. They could not see very well, but they heard a loud snore. They tiptoed closer and closer, until they saw a huge brown bear sleeping on a pile of bones. The bear smelled them and opened his eyes. He roared and got up, ready to attack. Tom and Sam screamed and ran out of the cave as fast as they could. They did not stop until they found the path that led to their home. They were very scared and sorry.
+
+When they got home, Mom was waiting for them. She was very worried and angry. She said, "Where have you been? It is almost dark. I told you not to go too far. You could have been hurt or lost." Tom and Sam told her what happened. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were foolish and curious. We dared each other to go to the bear's cave. We will never do that again." Mom hugged them and said, "I am glad you are safe. But you must listen to me and follow the rules. They are there to protect you. Daring is not always good. Sometimes it is better to be careful and wise." Tom and Sam nodded and said, "We understand, Mom. We love you." They learned their lesson and never went to the bear's cave again.
+Tom and Mia liked to play in the sand. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They wanted to make a sand castle. They dug and poured and patted the sand. They made a tall tower and a wide wall.
+
+But then, Ben came. Ben was a big boy. He had a red ball. He saw Tom and Mia's sand castle. He did not like it. He wanted to play with the ball. He kicked the ball hard. It flew in the air. It came down fast.
+
+"Look out!" Tom shouted. He tried to save the sand castle. But it was too late. The ball hit the tower. The tower broke. The sand fell. The wall cracked. The sand castle was gone.
+
+Tom and Mia were sad. They looked at the pale sand. They looked at Ben. Ben laughed. He picked up the ball. He ran away.
+
+"Why did he do that?" Mia asked. She had tears in her eyes.
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. He hugged Mia. "He is mean. He does not know how to share. He does not know how to make things. He only knows how to break things."
+
+Tom and Mia decided to make a new sand castle. They found a new spot. They dug and poured and patted the sand. They made a bigger tower and a stronger wall. They had fun. They did not care about Ben. They knew he would not come back. They knew he would not find their new sand castle. They knew they had a secret. They smiled.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like the lamp best. The lamp is big and shiny, and it makes funny shadows on the wall. Lily and Ben take turns to stand in front of the lamp and make funny shapes with their hands.
+
+"Look, I'm a rabbit!" Lily says, holding up two fingers like ears.
+
+"Look, I'm a bird!" Ben says, flapping his arms like wings.
+
+They giggle and clap, and the lamp makes them happy.
+
+But then, Lily has a bad idea. She wants to stand on the lamp, not in front of it. She thinks it will be more fun. She pushes Ben away and climbs on the table. She grabs the lamp and tries to stand on it.
+
+"Stop, Lily, stop!" Ben says. "That's not safe! You will fall!"
+
+But Lily does not listen. She stands on the lamp and smiles. She feels very tall and brave. She does not see the cord of the lamp. She does not see the plug in the wall. She does not see the spark.
+
+The lamp breaks. The glass shatters. The cord snaps. The plug flies. The spark ignites. The fire starts.
+
+Lily screams. Ben screams. The living room is on fire.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their dolls in the garden. They had a tea party with cups and plates and cookies. They pretended to drink and eat and talk.
+
+"More tea, Miss Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, please, Mr. Tom. You are very kind," Lily said.
+
+They were having fun, but they did not see that a nosy cat was watching them from behind a bush. The cat wanted to join the tea party, but he did not like dolls. He liked to play with cups and plates and cookies. He waited for a good moment to sneak in.
+
+When Lily and Tom were busy talking, the cat made his move. He jumped on the table and knocked over the cups and plates and cookies. He made a big mess and a loud noise.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Tom shouted.
+
+"Go away, you bad cat!" Lily cried.
+
+The cat ran away with a cookie in his mouth. He was happy, but Lily and Tom were not. They were sad and angry. They looked at their ruined tea party.
+
+"We have to wash everything now," Tom said.
+
+"Yes, and it is your turn to wash the cups," Lily said.
+
+"No, it is your turn. You washed them last time," Tom said.
+
+They started to argue. They forgot about the cat and the cookie. They did not have fun anymore.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was a large doll with a shiny dress and a crown. She called her doll Queen Rose and pretended she was a princess.
+
+One day, Lily's mother asked her to help with some chores. She said, "Lily, can you please put away your toys and make your bed? Then we can go to the park together." Lily nodded, but she did not want to stop playing. She said, "I will do it later, Mommy. I am busy with Queen Rose. She needs a tea party."
+
+Lily's mother reminded her, "Lily, you have to do your chores first. If you don't, we will not have time to go to the park. And your room will be messy. That is not nice." Lily pouted, but she still did not listen. She said, "I don't care, Mommy. Queen Rose is more important. She is the best doll ever."
+
+Lily's mother sighed and left the room. She hoped Lily would change her mind. But Lily did not. She played with Queen Rose for a long time, until it was too late to go to the park. She did not notice the sun going down or the clock ticking.
+
+When Lily's mother came back to check on her, she saw Lily's room was still full of toys and her bed was not made. She said, "Lily, I am very disappointed in you. You did not do your chores, and you did not listen to me. Now we cannot go to the park, and you have to stay in your room. You missed all the fun."
+
+Lily felt sad and sorry. She realized she had been selfish and rude. She said, "I am sorry, Mommy. I was wrong. I should have done my chores and listened to you. You are more important than Queen Rose. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily's mother hugged her and said, "Of course I forgive you, Lily. I love you very much. But you have to learn to be responsible and respectful. Playing is good, but not when you have other things to do. And you have to listen to me, because I want what is best for you. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I understand, Mommy. I will do better next time. Can I still play with Queen Rose?" Lily's mother smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But only after you do your chores and make your bed. And you have to share your toys with others, too. Queen Rose is not the only doll who needs a friend."
+
+Lily agreed and said, "OK, Mommy. Thank you for teaching me. I love you and Queen Rose." Lily's mother said, "I love you too, Lily. And I am proud of you for learning your lesson."
+
+The end.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was friendly and wagged his tail when they came near. Ben and Lily wanted to pet the dog, but they did not know if he had a name or an owner.
+
+"Hello, dog," Ben said. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog did not answer, but he licked Ben's face and made a happy sound. Ben laughed and hugged the dog.
+
+"Lily, come and see this dog," Ben called to his sister. "He is very nice and soft."
+
+Lily came over and touched the dog's fur. She smiled and said, "He is nice and soft, but he is also very big. Do you think he has a home?"
+
+The dog looked at Lily with his brown eyes and made a sad sound. He lay down on the grass and put his head on his paws.
+
+"Maybe he is lost," Lily said. "Maybe he misses his family."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry for the dog. They decided to help him find his home. They looked around the park for a sign or a collar, but they did not see anything.
+
+"Maybe we can ask someone," Ben said. "Maybe someone knows the dog."
+
+They saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a hat and a beard and a book. He looked wise and kind.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Lily said. "Do you know this dog?"
+
+The man looked at the dog and smiled. He said, "Yes, I do. He is my dog. His name is Max. He likes to run and play, but he always comes back to me. He is a good dog."
+
+Ben and Lily were happy to hear that. They said, "We are glad you are his owner. He is a good dog. We like him a lot."
+
+The man thanked them for being nice to his dog. He said, "You are very kind and brave. You can pet him anytime you want. He likes children like you."
+
+Ben and Lily petted Max and said goodbye. They went back to their mom, who was waiting for them. They told her about the dog and the man. She said, "You did a good thing today. You made a new friend. I am proud of you."
+
+Ben and Lily smiled and hugged their mom. They felt happy and warm. They hoped to see Max and the man again. They liked the park and the dog and the sound of his happy sound.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They zoom them on the floor and make loud noises. Sometimes they crash their cars and laugh.
+
+One day, their mom says they have to organize their cars. She says they have to put them in a box or on a shelf. She says they have to make their room neat and tidy. Tom and Mia do not want to organize their cars. They want to keep playing.
+
+They start to put some cars in a box, but they get bored. They see a big tire in the garage. They think it is fun to roll the tire and put cars inside it. They run to the garage and get the tire. They bring it to their room and roll it around. They fill it with cars and make it spin.
+
+Their mom comes to their room and sees the tire. She is not happy. She says they have to take the tire back to the garage. She says they have to organize their cars properly. She says they have to listen to her. Tom and Mia are sad. They do not want to give up the tire.
+
+They take the tire back to the garage. They are hot and tired. They go back to their room and organize their cars. They put them in a box and on a shelf. They make their room neat and tidy. Their mom comes to their room and sees their work. She is happy. She says they did a good job. She says they can play with their cars again. Tom and Mia are happy. They hug their mom and thank her. They play with their cars and have fun.
+Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big cooler near a bench. They are curious and want to look inside.
+
+"Maybe there are snacks in there," Tom says.
+
+"Let's go and see," Mia says.
+
+They run to the cooler and try to open it. But it is too heavy and hard. They cannot lift the lid.
+
+"Let's push it," Tom says. He puts his hands on the cooler and pushes with all his might. Mia helps him and pushes too.
+
+They push and push, but the cooler does not move. It is stuck to the ground.
+
+"Maybe it is locked," Mia says.
+
+"Or maybe it is full of rocks," Tom says.
+
+They are frustrated and tired. They sit on the ground and pout.
+
+A man comes to the bench and sees them. He is the owner of the cooler. He smiles and says, "Hello, kids. What are you doing?"
+
+"We want to see what is in the cooler," Tom says.
+
+"But we cannot open it," Mia says.
+
+The man laughs and says, "Well, you don't need to push it. You just need to pull it. Here, let me show you."
+
+He pulls the handle of the cooler and lifts the lid. Inside, there are bottles of lemonade and sandwiches.
+
+"Wow," Tom and Mia say.
+
+The man says, "Do you want some? You can have one each. But be careful, the lemonade is sour."
+
+He gives them a bottle and a sandwich each. They thank him and sit on the bench. They open the bottle and take a sip.
+
+"Ooh, it is sour," Tom says, making a face.
+
+"But it is good," Mia says, smiling.
+
+They eat and drink and enjoy the cooler. They are happy and forget about pushing.
+Rani and Ravi were twins who lived near a big temple. They liked to go there and see the statues, the flowers and the bells. Sometimes they helped the old priest to clean and decorate the temple.
+
+One day, the priest told them that a special guest was coming to visit the temple. He said they had to prepare everything very well and be alert for his arrival. He gave them some tasks to do, like sweeping the floor, arranging the cushions and lighting the lamps.
+
+Rani and Ravi were excited and worked hard. But Ravi also wanted to have some fun. He saw a big drum near the entrance and decided to play with it. He hit it with his hands and made loud noises. Rani heard him and said, "Ravi, stop that! You are making too much noise. The guest will not like it. And you are not doing your work. Come and help me."
+
+Ravi did not listen. He said, "Rani, you are boring. This is fun. The guest will not come soon. And I have done enough work. Let me play." He hit the drum harder and harder.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a voice outside. It was the guest. He had arrived early and heard the drum. He was not happy. He said, "What is this noise? Who is playing the drum in the temple? This is not respectful. This is not how you welcome a guest."
+
+The priest came out and saw the guest. He was ashamed. He said, "I am sorry, sir. This is Ravi, one of the children who help me. He was playing the drum. He did not mean to offend you. He was just having fun."
+
+The guest looked at Ravi and said, "Ravi, do you know who I am? I am the king. I came to see the temple and to bless you and your sister. But you did not prepare well and you were not alert. You did not show me respect. You wasted your time and disturbed the peace. You have disappointed me and the priest."
+
+Ravi felt very sorry. He realized he had made a big mistake. He said, "I am sorry, sir. I am sorry, priest. I am sorry, Rani. I was foolish and selfish. I should have done my work and been alert. I should have shown you respect. Please forgive me."
+
+The king, the priest and Rani saw that Ravi was sincere. They forgave him and said, "Ravi, we forgive you. But you must learn from this. You must be responsible and respectful. You must prepare well and be alert. You must not waste your time and disturb the peace. You must do your best and be your best. This is how you honor the temple and the king. This is how you honor yourself and your sister. Do you understand?"
+
+Ravi nodded and said, "I understand. I will do better. I will be better. Thank you for teaching me."
+
+The king smiled and said, "You are welcome. I am glad you have learned. Now, come and join me. Let us see the temple and enjoy its beauty. And let us hear the drum, but only when it is time to praise and thank."
+
+Rani and Ravi followed the king and the priest. They saw the temple and enjoyed its beauty. And they heard the drum, but only when it was time to praise and thank. They were happy and proud. They had prepared well and been alert. They had shown respect and learned a lesson. They had honored the temple and the king. They had honored themselves and each other.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They are three years old. They have a baby brother, Sam. Sam is an infant. He cries a lot. Sometimes, Anna and Ben ignore Sam. They play with their toys and do not look at him.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad have to go out. They ask Grandma to watch Anna, Ben and Sam. Grandma is nice. She gives them snacks and reads them stories. But she also pays attention to Sam. She holds him and rocks him and sings to him.
+
+Anna and Ben feel jealous. They want Grandma to play with them. They try to get her attention. They make loud noises and throw their toys. They say, "Grandma, look at us! We are important!"
+
+Grandma does not like their behavior. She says, "Anna and Ben, stop that! You are being rude and naughty. Sam is important too. He needs love and care. You should be kind and gentle to your brother. He is part of your family."
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry. They realize they were wrong. They say, "Sorry, Grandma. We love Sam. We want to help you." Grandma smiles and hugs them. She says, "That's better. I love you all. You can help me by being quiet and nice. You can also give Sam some toys and cuddles. He will like that."
+
+Anna and Ben nod and do what Grandma says. They go to Sam and say, "Hi, Sam. We are your sister and brother. We want to play with you." Sam stops crying and looks at them. He smiles and coos. Anna and Ben smile and coo back. They give him some toys and cuddles. Grandma watches them and feels happy. She thinks, "What a lovely family."
+Sara and Ben are playing in the yard. They like to run and jump and chase each other. They see a white fence around the neighbor's house. The fence is very tall and shiny.
+
+"Wow, look at the fence!" Sara says. "It is so white and pretty. I want to touch it."
+
+"Me too," Ben says. "But we can't. The fence is not ours. It is the neighbor's fence. They will be mad if we touch it."
+
+Sara and Ben look at the fence. They wonder what is behind it. They hear a bark. It is a dog. The dog is big and loud. It runs to the fence and jumps. Sara and Ben are scared.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Sara shouts. "You are not nice. You are mean. You scare us."
+
+The dog barks more. It tries to bite the fence. The fence is strong. It does not break. The dog cannot get out.
+
+The neighbor comes out. He sees the dog and the fence and the kids. He is not happy. He yells at the dog and the kids.
+
+"Bad dog! Stop barking! Go inside!" he says. "And you kids, stay away from my fence! It is new and complete. I don't want you to ruin it. Go play somewhere else!"
+
+Sara and Ben run away. They are sad and sorry. They did not mean to bother the neighbor or the dog or the fence. They just wanted to see and touch the white fence. They think the fence is not very friendly. They decide to play with their own toys and their own fence. Their fence is not white or shiny or tall. But it is nice and fun and theirs.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the forest. They had a secret spot where they built a hut with thick branches and leaves. They felt safe and happy there.
