+"Yes, but first you have to eat your lunch," his mom says. She gives Ben a sandwich and a cookie. The cookie is blue. It has chocolate chips.
+
+Lily and Ben eat their sandwiches. They are hungry. They look at their cookies. They look yummy.
+
+"Let's go on the slide now," Lily says. She puts her cookie in her pocket.
+
+"Wait, I want to eat my cookie," Ben says. He takes a bite of his cookie. It is sweet and crunchy.
+
+"No, let's go now. The slide is fun," Lily says. She pulls Ben by the hand.
+
+"Okay, okay," Ben says. He puts his cookie in his pocket.
+
+They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They laugh and scream. They have fun.
+
+But then, a dog comes. The dog is big and brown. It smells the cookies. It runs to Lily and Ben. It jumps on them. It takes their cookies from their pockets. It eats their cookies.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Lily and Ben shout. They try to get their cookies back. But the dog is faster. It runs away with their cookies.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They miss their cookies. They cry.
+
+Their moms come. They hug them. They ask them what happened.
+
+"The dog took our cookies," Lily says.
+
+"The dog ate our cookies," Ben says.
+
+"I'm sorry, sweeties," their moms say. "That was not nice of the dog. But don't worry, we have more cookies at home. We can share them later."
+
+Lily and Ben stop crying. They smile.
+
+"Thank you, mom," they say.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn to eat their cookies before they play. They learn to share their cookies with each other. They learn to be careful of dogs. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with their wagon. They put their toys in the wagon and pull it around the yard. Sometimes they take turns riding in the wagon.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the street. The dog is brown and has a long tail. The dog barks at them and runs towards them. Lily and Max are scared. They drop the wagon and run to the house.
+
+The dog stops at the wagon. He sniffs the toys and licks them. He likes the wagon. He tries to pull the wagon with his mouth, but it is too heavy. He lies down next to the wagon and waits.
+
+Lily and Max peek out of the window. They see the dog with their wagon. They wonder if the dog is friendly or mean. They decide to go outside and find out.
+
+They walk slowly to the dog. The dog wags his tail and looks at them. He does not bark or growl. He seems friendly. Lily and Max smile and say hello to the dog. They pet his fur and rub his ears. The dog likes that. He licks their faces and makes happy noises.
+
+Lily and Max ask the dog if he wants to play with them and their wagon. The dog nods and barks. They pick up their toys and put them back in the wagon. They invite the dog to ride in the wagon. The dog jumps in and sits down. He looks very happy.
+
+Lily and Max pull the wagon with the dog in it. They laugh and have fun. They make a new friend. They name him Wagon.
+Sara and Ben were twins who lived in a small house in a big valley. They liked to play outside and look at the flowers and the birds. But sometimes the sky was gloomy and dark, and they had to stay inside. Then they felt sad and bored.
+
+One day, their mom told them a story about a magic rainbow that appeared in the valley when the sun came out after the rain. She said that if they believed hard enough, they could find the rainbow and make a wish. Sara and Ben liked the story and wanted to see the rainbow.
+
+The next day, it rained a lot and the valley was gloomy and wet. Sara and Ben waited for the rain to stop and the sun to come out. They put on their boots and coats and ran outside. They looked around the valley, but they could not see the rainbow. They felt disappointed and wondered if the story was true.
+
+But then they heard a voice. It was their mom, who had followed them outside. She pointed to the sky and said, "Look, there it is! The magic rainbow!" Sara and Ben looked up and saw a bright arc of colors in the sky. They smiled and felt happy. They ran towards the rainbow, holding hands. They believed that they could make a wish and that it would come true.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll and Ben had a small car. They were having fun and sharing nicely.
+
+But then, Lily saw a shiny ball on the shelf. She wanted to play with it. She reached for it and said, "I want the ball. It is mine."
+
+Ben looked at her and said, "No, it is not yours. It is mine. I got it for my birthday. You have the doll. Let me have the ball."
+
+Lily did not listen. She grabbed the ball and ran away. Ben was angry and chased her. They started to fight over the ball.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud sneeze. It was their mom. She had a cold and was resting on the couch. She saw them fighting and said, "Stop it, you two. Fighting is not polite. You should share and take turns. Give me the ball and say sorry to each other."
+
+Lily and Ben felt bad. They knew they had made their mom unhappy. They gave her the ball and hugged each other. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Lily. We will share and be polite."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's good. I love you both. Now, go and play nicely. And don't forget to wash your hands. I don't want you to catch my cold."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We love you too, mom. We will wash our hands and play nicely. And we hope you feel better soon."

+They went back to their toys and played happily. They learned to share and be polite. And they did not sneeze.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. Tom is a good player. He can kick the ball very far. Lily is a little player. She can run very fast.
+
+One day, they see a big boy playing soccer by himself. He has a red shirt and a blue ball. Tom and Lily want to play with him.
+
+"Hi, can we play with you?" Tom asks the big boy.
+
+The big boy looks at them and shakes his head. "No, you are too small. You can't play soccer. Go away."
+
+Tom and Lily feel sad. They want to play soccer too. They are not too small.
+
+"Please, let us play with you. We can play well. We can be on your team." Lily urges the big boy.
+
+The big boy laughs. "You? On my team? You are a joke. You can't kick the ball. You can't score a goal. You are a bad player."
+
+Tom and Lily feel angry. They are not a joke. They are not bad players. They can kick the ball. They can score a goal.
+
+"Fine, if you don't want us on your team, we will play against you. We will show you who is a good player." Tom says.
+
+The big boy snorts. "Okay, fine. Let's play. But you will lose. You will cry. You will go home."
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They are not afraid. They are ready. They will play. They will win. They will make the big boy cry. They will make him go home.
+Tim and Jen like to play with their vehicles. They have cars, trucks, buses and trains. They make noises and move them on the floor. They have fun.
+
+One day, Tim sees a new vehicle in Jen's room. It is big and red and has a ladder. It is a fire truck. Tim wants to play with it.
+
+"Can I play with your fire truck?" Tim asks Jen.
+
+"Sure, you can play with it. But you have to mind it. It is my favorite vehicle. Do not break it or lose it," Jen says.
+
+"OK, I will mind it. Thank you, Jen," Tim says.
+
+Tim takes the fire truck and makes siren sounds. He pretends to put out fires and rescue people. He thinks it is an interesting vehicle. He likes it a lot.

+Lia and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many birds. Lia likes the birds. She wants to touch them. She asks Ben to lift her up.
+
+"Ben, lift me up! I want to touch the birds!" Lia says.
+
+"No, Lia. The birds are too high. And they are scared of us. They will fly away." Ben says.
+
+Lia is bossy. She does not listen to Ben. She pulls his arm and says, "Lift me up! Lift me up!"
+
+Ben is tired of Lia. He lifts her up a little bit. But he does not hold her well. Lia slips from his arms. She falls on the grass. She cries.
+
+One of the birds sees Lia. It is a dove. It is white and soft. It feels sorry for Lia. It flies down from the tree. It lands on Lia's head. It coos.
+
+Lia stops crying. She looks at the dove. She smiles. She touches the dove gently. The dove likes Lia. It stays on her head.

+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a new bucket and spade. They want to make a big sand castle.
+
+They find a good spot near the slide. They start to fill the bucket with sand. They pat it down and turn it over. They make a nice tower. They smile.
+
+But then, a big boy comes. He is mean. He kicks their tower. He laughs. He runs away.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They frown. They look at their broken tower. They cry.
+
+A nice lady sees them. She is a teacher. She comes to help. She talks to the big boy. She tells him to say sorry. She gives Lily and Ben a hug. She helps them make a new tower. She puts a flag on top. She smiles.
+

+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. Sara saw a big hill with a lot of flowers. She wanted to go there and smell them.
+
+"Tom, let's go to the hill!" she said.
+
+"OK, Sara, but be careful. The hill is steep and there are rocks and sticks," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the hill and started to climb. Sara was faster than Tom. She reached the top and saw a lot of unusual flowers. They were purple and yellow and pink and had funny shapes. She picked one and smelled it. It smelled sweet and spicy.
+
+"Tom, look at these flowers! They are so pretty and smell so good!" she said.
+
+Tom was almost at the top. He saw Sara holding the flower. He wanted to smell it too. He ran to her and reached for the flower. But he did not see a big rock in his way. He tripped over the rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and it started to bleed.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried.
+
+Sara heard Tom cry and turned around. She saw him on the ground with his knee bleeding. She dropped the flower and ran to him.
+
+"Tom, are you OK? What did you do?" she asked.
+
+"I fell over a rock and hurt my knee. It hurts a lot," he said.
+
+Sara felt sorry for Tom. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. It was my fault. I should have told you about the rock. Here, let me help you."
+
+She took off her scarf and wrapped it around his knee. She hoped it would stop the bleeding and make him feel better.
+
+"Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend," he said.
+
+They hugged again and smiled. They decided to go back to the slide and play some more. They left the unusual flower on the hill. They did not know that the flower was not a flower at all, but a very rare and dangerous plant that could make people sick if they touched it or smelled it. They were lucky that they did not get sick. They had a close call. They learned to be more careful and watch where they go. They also learned to share and help each other. They had a fun and scary day in the park.
+Anna was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. She could dress herself, brush her teeth, and even make her own sandwich. She was proud of herself and wanted to show her mom.
+
+One day, she decided to go to the park by herself. She put on her shoes, grabbed her backpack, and opened the door. She did not tell her mom where she was going. She thought her mom would be happy to see how independent she was.
+
+But Anna did not know that the park was far away and that there were many cars and people on the street. She walked and walked, but she could not find the park. She got lost and scared. She did not know what to do. She started to cry.
+
+"Are you okay, little girl?" a kind voice asked. Anna looked up and saw a nice lady with a big hat. The lady smiled and bent down to Anna. "What's your name? Where's your mom?"
+
+Anna sniffed and told the lady her name and that she wanted to go to the park by herself. She said she did not know where her mom was.
+
+"Oh, Anna, you should not go to the park by yourself. It's not safe. You need to stay with your mom or someone who can take care of you. Come on, let's find your mom. I'll help you." The lady took Anna's hand and led her to a nearby bench. She took out her phone and called the police. She told them that she found a lost girl and gave them Anna's name and address.
+
+Soon, a police car arrived and Anna saw her mom running out of it. Her mom looked worried and angry, but also relieved and happy. She hugged Anna tightly and kissed her cheek.
+
+"Anna, Anna, I was so scared. Where did you go? Why did you leave without telling me?" her mom asked.
+
+Anna felt sorry and ashamed. She realized that she was not as independent as she thought. She needed her mom and her mom needed her. She hugged her mom back and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to go to the park by myself. I wanted to show you how big I am. But I got lost and scared. I'm sorry, mom. I love you."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Anna. You are a big girl, but you are also my little girl. And I want you to be safe and happy. Next time, if you want to go to the park, you can tell me and we can go together. Okay?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you for finding me. And thank you, nice lady, for helping me."
+
+The nice lady smiled and said, "You're welcome, Anna. I'm glad you're okay. Now, go home with your mom and have a good day."
+
+Anna and her mom got into the police car and waved goodbye to the nice lady. As they drove home, Anna leaned on her mom's shoulder and felt her mom's arm around her. She felt warm and cozy. She closed her eyes and rocked gently with the car. She learned a lesson that day. She learned that being independent was good, but being loved was better. And she learned that sometimes, a hug was the best thing in the world.
+Lily and Max were going to a hotel with their mom and dad. They were very happy because they had never been to a hotel before. They packed their bags and got in the car.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Max asked.
+
+"Soon, honey. Look, there is the hotel!" Mom said, pointing to a big building with purple lights.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily said.
+
+They parked the car and went inside. The hotel was very nice and had a lot of people. They checked in and got their room key. They took the elevator to the fifth floor and found their room.
+
+"Look, we have a big bed and a TV!" Max said, jumping on the bed.
+
+"And we have a window with a view!" Lily said, looking outside.
+
+They saw the city and the stars. They were very excited.
+
+"Let's go to the pool!" Max said.
+
+"Okay, but first we have to change into our swimsuits," Mom said.
+
+They changed and got their towels. They went to the elevator again and pressed the button for the pool.
+
+"Wait, we have to close the door," Dad said.
+
+He closed the door and locked it. They heard a click.
+
+"Okay, let's go!" Dad said.
+
+They went to the pool and had a lot of fun. They splashed and swam and played. They met some other kids and made new friends. They had a great time at the hotel.
+Sam and Lily like to play in the garden. They have a big box of seeds. They can plant flowers and vegetables. They look for a good spot to dig.
+
+"Here, Sam, this soil is soft and brown. We can make a hole here." Lily says.
+
+"OK, Lily, let me help you. We can use this spoon to dig." Sam says.
+
+They dig a hole and put a seed in it. They cover it with soil and pat it gently. They do the same for another seed and another hole.
+
+"Look, Sam, we have two seeds in the ground. They will grow soon." Lily says.
+
+"Yes, Lily, they will grow and make pretty flowers or yummy vegetables. We have to water them every day." Sam says.
+
+They look for the watering can. They see it on the porch. But it is too high for them to reach. They try to jump and stretch, but they cannot get it.
+
+"Oh, no, Sam, we need the watering can. How can we get it?" Lily says.
+
+"I have an idea, Lily. We can use this stick. We can shake the watering can with the stick. Maybe it will fall down." Sam says.
+
+He picks up a long stick and swings it at the watering can. He shakes it hard. The watering can wobbles and tips over. It falls down and splashes water everywhere.
+
+"Yay, Sam, you did it! You got the watering can!" Lily says.
+
+They run to the watering can and pick it up. They are wet and happy. They water their seeds and smile.
+
+"We are good gardeners, Lily. We will have the best flowers and vegetables in the garden." Sam says.
+
+"Yes, Sam, we are. And we have fun, too." Lily says.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Sara had a big spoon and a bowl. She put some flour, sugar, eggs and milk in the bowl. She said, "I will stir this and make a cake." Tom had a small spoon and a cup. He put some water, honey and lemon in the cup. He said, "I will stir this and make a drink."
+
+They stirred and stirred their mixtures. They were having fun. Then they heard a loud noise. It was the TV in the living room. It was saying some news. They stopped stirring and listened. The news said, "There is a big storm coming. It is very windy and rainy. Everyone should stay inside and be safe."
+
+Sara and Tom looked at each other. They felt scared. They did not like storms. They did not like the wind and the rain. They wanted to be with their mom and dad. They dropped their spoons and ran to the living room. They saw their mom and dad on the couch. They hugged them and said, "We are scared of the storm. Can we stay with you?"
+
+Their mom and dad smiled and said, "Of course you can. We are not scared of the storm. We are here to protect you. The storm will pass soon. Do you want to watch a movie with us?" Sara and Tom nodded. They felt better. They forgot about their cake and drink. They snuggled with their mom and dad and watched a movie. They were not scared anymore.
+Tom and Anna liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of toys, like cars, dolls, balls and books. They shared their toys and had fun together.
+
+One day, a thief came to the garden. He saw the toys and wanted to take them. He was sneaky and waited for Tom and Anna to go inside for a snack. Then he ran to the garden and grabbed as many toys as he could.
+
+But Tom and Anna saw him from the window. They were angry and scared. They wanted their toys back. They ran outside and shouted at the thief. "Stop! Give us our toys! You are bad!"
+
+The thief was surprised and scared too. He dropped some toys and ran away. But Tom and Anna were brave and chased him. They caught up with him and took back their toys. They were happy and proud.
+
+They went back to the garden and hugged their toys. They had gained their toys back and learned a lesson. They decided to keep their toys inside when they were not playing with them. They also decided to be more careful and watch out for thieves. They thanked each other for being brave and helping. They were good friends.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But Tom wanted to try something new. He saw a big tree with many branches. He said to Lila, "Let's climb the tree. It will be fun and we will improve our skills."
+
+Lila was not sure. She said, "The tree is too high and the branches are too thin. We might fall and hurt ourselves."
+
+Tom said, "Don't be scared. I will go first and show you how to do it. Just follow me and hold on tight." He ran to the tree and started to climb. He looked down and smiled at Lila. "See? It's easy. Come on, join me."
+
+Lila did not want to be left behind. She wanted to be brave and have fun too. She ran to the tree and tried to climb. But she was not as good as Tom. She could not find a good place to put her feet and hands. She slipped and grabbed a branch. But the branch was too weak and broke. Lila fell to the ground with a loud thud.
+
+Tom heard the noise and looked down. He saw Lila lying on the grass. She was not moving. He saw blood on her head and her arm. He saw her palm was hurt and had a big cut. He felt scared and sorry. He shouted, "Lila! Lila! Are you okay?"
+
+But Lila did not answer. She did not open her eyes. She did not breathe. She was gone. Tom started to cry. He wished he had not climbed the tree. He wished he had listened to Lila. He wished he could say sorry to her. But it was too late. He had lost his friend.
+Lily and Tom liked to play near the pond. They saw frogs, ducks and fish in the water. They threw stones and sticks and made splashes. But they knew not to go too close to the pond. Their mom and dad told them it was dangerous. There were deep parts and sharp rocks and slippery mud. They could fall in and hurt themselves or drown.
+
+One day, they saw a big red ball near the pond. It looked shiny and fun. Lily wanted to play with it. She ran towards it and picked it up. Tom followed her and asked, "Where did you find that ball?"
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone left it here. Can we keep it?" Lily said.
+
+"No, we can't. It's not ours. We have to give it back. Maybe it belongs to the boy who lives in the house over there." Tom said, pointing to a nearby fence.
+
+"But I like it. It's so pretty. And it bounces high. Look!" Lily said, throwing the ball in the air.
+
+The ball bounced high and then landed on the edge of the pond. It rolled towards the water. Lily and Tom gasped. They ran after the ball, trying to catch it. But they were too late. The ball fell into the pond with a splash. They saw it sink under the water and disappear.
+
+"Oh no! We spoiled the ball! What are we going to do?" Lily cried.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we can get it out. Maybe we can use a stick or a rope." Tom said.
+
+But they couldn't find anything to reach the ball. It was too far and too deep. They felt sad and scared. They wondered if the boy who owned the ball would be angry. They wondered if their mom and dad would find out. They wished they had listened to them and stayed away from the pond. They learned that the pond was dangerous and that they should not take things that were not theirs.
+Anna and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They saw a big rock near the water. They ran to the rock and climbed on it.
+
+"Look, Ben, a crab!" Anna said. She pointed to a small red crab that was hiding under the rock. The crab had two big claws and many legs.
+
+"Wow, a crab!" Ben said. He wanted to touch the crab. He got down from the rock and kneeled on the sand. He reached his hand to the crab.
+
+"Be careful, Ben, the crab can pinch you!" Anna said. She was serious. She knew that crabs could hurt with their claws.
+
+Ben did not listen to Anna. He touched the crab. The crab did not like that. The crab pinched Ben's finger with its claw. Ben cried out loud. He pulled his hand back and held his finger.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow, the crab bit me!" Ben said. He was sad and angry. He wanted to throw the crab away.
+
+"Ben, don't do that!" Anna said. She was sorry for Ben, but also for the crab. She knew that the crab was scared and only wanted to be left alone.
+
+"Let's leave the crab here, Ben. It's his home. He did not mean to hurt you. He was just protecting himself." Anna said. She tried to calm Ben down.
+
+Ben looked at Anna. He looked at the crab. He looked at his finger. He was still in pain, but he nodded. He agreed with Anna.
+
+"OK, Anna, let's leave the crab here. I'm sorry, crab. I won't touch you again." Ben said. He and Anna got up from the sand. They walked away from the rock. They went back to their bucket and shovel. They continued to play on the beach. They were friends again.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, the park is icy. The grass is white and hard. The slide is shiny and slippery.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Sara says. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Tom follows her.
+
+"Be careful!" Tom says. "The slide is icy. You might fall."
+
+Sara does not listen. She sits on the slide and pushes herself down. She goes very fast. She feels the wind on her face. She blinks her eyes.
+
+But the slide is too icy. Sara cannot stop. She slides off the end of the slide and lands on the ground. She hits her head on a rock. She cries out loud.
+
+Tom runs to Sara. He sees blood on her head. He is scared. He calls for help.
+
+"Help! Help! Sara is hurt!" Tom shouts.
+
+But no one hears him. The park is empty. Sara and Tom are alone. Sara stops crying. She closes her eyes. She does not blink anymore.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park near the church. One day, they saw a big hole in the wall of the church. They were curious. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go in," Ben said. "Maybe we can find something cool."
+
+"No, we can't," Lily said. "That's bad. The church is God's house. We should not go in without asking."
+
+Ben did not listen. He ran to the hole and crawled inside. Lily followed him. She was afraid to be alone.
+
+Inside the church, it was dark and dusty. They saw many old things. Books, candles, pictures, statues. Ben touched everything. He did not care if he broke something. Lily tried to stop him. She was scared.
+
+"Ben, stop it," she said. "This is wrong. We should go out. Someone might see us."
+
+But Ben did not stop. He saw a shiny cross on the wall. He wanted to have it. He climbed on a chair and reached for the cross. He pulled it hard.
+
+Suddenly, a loud noise came from the wall. The cross was attached to a bell. The bell started to ring. It was very loud. It made the whole church shake.
+
+Lily and Ben were shocked. They realized they had made a big mistake. They tried to run out of the hole. But it was too late.
+
+The noise had alerted the people outside. They came to the church to see what was wrong. They saw Lily and Ben coming out of the hole. They saw the cross in Ben's hand. They saw the mess inside the church.
+
+They were angry. They shouted at Lily and Ben. They called them thieves and vandals. They said they would tell their parents and the police.
+
+Lily and Ben were terrified. They dropped the cross and cried. They wished they had never gone inside the church. They were very ashamed. They knew they had done a bad thing. They knew they would be in big trouble. They had no friends. They had no fun. They had no hope.
+Lily was a princess who lived in a big castle. She had many toys and dresses, but she was not happy. She wanted to go outside and play with other children, but her father, the king, said no. He said it was too dangerous and she had to stay inside.
+
+One day, Lily saw a gray bird outside her window. The bird was singing a pretty song. Lily opened the window and said, "Hello, bird. What is your name?"
+
+The bird said, "My name is Sky. I fly all over the world and see many things. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I do. But how can I fly with you? I don't have wings."
+
+Sky said, "You don't need wings. You just need a wish. Close your eyes and wish very hard that you can fly with me."
+
+Lily closed her eyes and wished very hard. She felt a warm breeze and a tickle on her back. She opened her eyes and saw that she had wings. They were gray like Sky's. She was so happy. She said, "Thank you, Sky. You are my friend."
+
+Sky said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are my friend too. Come on, let's go and have fun."
+
+Lily and Sky flew out of the window and into the sky. They saw the sun and the clouds and the trees and the flowers. They saw other birds and animals and children. They sang and laughed and played. Lily felt free and happy. She did not want to go back to the castle.
+
+But the king saw Lily and Sky from his tower. He was angry and scared. He said, "Lily, come back here. You are my daughter. You are a princess. You cannot fly with a bird. You will suffer if you leave me."
+
+Lily heard her father's voice. She felt sad and scared. She said, "Sky, I have to go back. My father is calling me. He will be mad at me."
+
+Sky said, "Lily, don't go back. Your father is wrong. You are not a princess. You are a bird. You will suffer if you stay with him. He will lock you up and take away your wings. He will make you unhappy."
+
+Lily did not know what to do. She loved Sky, but she also loved her father. She was torn between them. She cried and said, "I don't know what to do. I want to be with both of you. I want to be happy."
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the park with Mom and Dad. They see many things on the way. They see cars, trees, flowers, and birds. They also see a big billboard. It has a picture of a dog and a cat. The dog and the cat look happy. The billboard says: "Care for your pets. They are your friends."
+
+Anna and Ben love animals. They have a pet hamster named Fluffy. They feed Fluffy, play with Fluffy, and clean Fluffy's cage. They care for Fluffy very much. They want to see the dog and the cat on the billboard. They ask Mom and Dad.
+
+"Mom, Dad, can we go to the billboard and pet the dog and the cat?" Anna says.
+
+"Sorry, sweetie, we can't. The dog and the cat are not real. They are only pictures. They are not alive," Mom says.
+
+"But they look so real and cute. Why are they not alive?" Ben says.
+
+"They are not alive because they are only for people to see. They are to tell people to be nice to their pets. Do you understand?" Dad says.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They are a little sad. They wish the dog and the cat were real. They want to be their friends too. They hug Mom and Dad.
+
+"We understand. We are nice to Fluffy. We love Fluffy. Fluffy is our friend," they say.
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They are proud of Anna and Ben. They are good children. They care for their pet. They reach the park. They have a lot of fun. They swing, slide, and run. They are happy. They are comfortable. They are a family.
+Sara and Tom wanted to decorate their room for the party. They had many colors of paper and glue. They cut the paper into shapes and stuck them on the wall. They made stars, flowers, hearts and circles.
+
+"Look, Tom, I made a cricket!" Sara said, holding up a green paper insect. "It has long legs and big eyes. Do you like it?"
+
+"Yes, Sara, it is very nice. But where will we put it?" Tom asked, looking around the room. "We have no more space on the wall."
+
+Sara thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. "Let's put it on the window!" she said. "Then it can see the sky and the trees. Maybe it will find some friends."
+
+Tom agreed. He helped Sara to stick the cricket on the window. They looked at their room and smiled. It was very pretty and colorful.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She was coming up the stairs. She was carrying a big cake. It had candles and frosting.
+
+"Surprise!" she said, opening the door. "Happy birthday, Sara and Tom! You are three years old today!"
+
+Sara and Tom were very happy. They hugged their mom and thanked her for the cake. They showed her their decorations. She said they were very creative and clever.
+
+They all sat down and ate the cake. It was sweet and yummy. They sang and laughed and had fun. The cricket on the window watched them and chirped. It was a good day.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals, colors and numbers. They can make pairs, or sort them, or count them.
+
+One day, they are playing with cards on the floor. Anna has a big pile of cards. Ben has a small pile of cards. Ben wants more cards. He sees a card under Anna's pillow. He thinks it is a secret card. He is nosy. He wants to see the card.
+
+He crawls to Anna's bed. He lifts the pillow. He grabs the card. He looks at the card. It is a card with a heart and a message. It says: "To Anna, I love you, Mommy".
+
+Anna sees Ben with her card. She is angry. She shouts: "Ben, give me back my card! That is my card! Mommy gave it to me! It is special!"
+
+Ben is scared. He drops the card. He says: "Sorry, Anna. I did not know. I was just curious. I wanted to see the card. I did not mean to make you mad."
+
+Anna picks up her card. She hugs it. She says: "It is okay, Ben. I forgive you. But you should not be nosy. You should ask before you take something. And you should not touch my pillow. It is mine."
+
+Ben nods. He says: "You are right, Anna. I am sorry. I will not be nosy again. And I will not touch your pillow. Can we still play with cards?"
+
+Anna smiles. She says: "Yes, we can still play with cards. But we need to share. You can have some of my cards. And I can have some of your cards. Then we can have fun."

+
+Lily says, "No, I love my dog. It is loyal. It always stays with me. I do not want your car. It is loud and rude. You keep it."
+

+
+Lily says, "Yes, Tom. We can still be friends. But you have to be nice and share. And you have to say sorry to my dog."

+Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play outside in winter. They make snowmen and snowballs and slide on the ice. But sometimes it is too cold and their mom tells them to come inside.
+
+"Sam, Ben, time to go in!" mom calls from the door. "It is getting dark and you need to have dinner and a bath."
+
+"But mom, we are having fun!" Sam says. "Can we stay a little longer?"
+
+"No, you can't. It is too cold and you might get sick. Come on, hurry up!" mom says.
+
+Sam and Ben sigh and pick up their toys. They walk to the door, but they see their dad coming from the car. He is bald and he wears a hat to keep his head warm. He smiles and waves at them.
+
+"Hi, boys! How was your day?" dad asks.
+
+"It was good, dad. We played in the snow and made a big snowman!" Ben says.
+
+"That sounds fun! Can I see your snowman?" dad asks.
+
+"Sure, dad. Come with us!" Sam says.
+
+They run to the snowman and show dad their work. Dad is impressed and gives them a hug.
+
+"You did a great job, boys! Your snowman is very nice. But now you have to go inside and warm up. Mom is waiting for you with dinner and a bath." dad says.
+
+"Okay, dad. We will go inside. But can we leave our snowman here?" Ben asks.
+
+"Of course, you can. He will be fine. He likes the cold. But you have to shut the door behind you, so he doesn't get lonely." dad says.
+
+"Okay, dad. We will shut the door. Bye, snowman!" Sam and Ben say.
+
+They wave at their snowman and follow dad to the door. They shut the door and go inside. They are happy and hungry and ready for dinner and a bath. They love winter and they love their snowman. And they love their mom and dad.
+Lily was a dog who liked to run and play in the park. She had a lot of friends there, like Max the cat, Ben the bird, and Sam the squirrel. They had fun chasing each other and finding sticks and nuts.
+
+One day, Lily felt something tickle her fur. She scratched and scratched, but it did not go away. She looked and saw a tiny bug on her back. It was a flea. The flea bit her and made her itch. Lily did not like the flea. She tried to shake it off, but it held on hard.
+
+"Help me, please!" Lily barked to her friends. "I have a flea and it hurts!"
+
+Max, Ben, and Sam heard her and came to see. They saw the flea on Lily's back and felt sorry for her.
+
+"Let me try to get it off," Max said. He used his claws to pick at the flea, but it was too hard. The flea bit him and made him hiss.
+
+"Let me try to get it off," Ben said. He used his beak to peck at the flea, but it was too hard. The flea bit him and made him squawk.
+
+"Let me try to get it off," Sam said. He used his teeth to nibble at the flea, but it was too hard. The flea bit him and made him squeak.
+
+Lily felt bad for her friends. They were trying to help her, but the flea was too hard. She wished she could get rid of it.
+
+Then she had an idea. She saw a pond nearby, with water and ducks. She ran to the pond and jumped in. The water was cold and wet, but it felt good on her fur. She swam and splashed and shook her head. The flea did not like the water. It let go of Lily and floated away.
+
+Lily got out of the pond and shook herself dry. She felt much better. She did not itch anymore. She looked for the flea, but she could not see it. She hoped it was gone for good.
+
+She ran back to her friends and wagged her tail. They were happy to see her. They hugged and licked her.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lily said to them. "You are the best friends ever! You tried to help me with the flea, even though it was hard. I love you!"
+
+"We love you too, Lily," they said. "You are a brave and smart dog. You found a way to get rid of the flea. We are proud of you!"
+
+They smiled and laughed and played some more. They did not worry about the flea anymore. They were happy and free.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with cars and dolls. They lived next to each other and went to the same school. One day, they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big truck with a lot of boxes. The truck had a sign that said "Deliver".
+
+"Wow, look at that truck!" Tom said. "I wonder what's in the boxes."
+
+"Maybe they are toys or books or candy," Lily said. "Let's go and see."
+
+They ran outside and followed the truck to the end of the street. The truck stopped at a house with a high fence and a big gate. The driver got out and opened the gate. He took a box and carried it to the door. He knocked and waited.
+
+Tom and Lily were curious. They sneaked behind the fence and peeked at the box. The box had a label that said "Dangerous. Do not open."
+
+"Wow, that's scary," Tom said. "What do you think is in there?"
+
+"Maybe it's a snake or a spider or a bomb," Lily said. "Let's open it and see."
+
+They grabbed the box and ran to a corner. They tore the tape and lifted the lid. Inside, they saw a shiny metal thing with wires and buttons. It looked like a toy.
+
+"Wow, that's cool," Tom said. "Let's play with it."
+
+He pressed a button and the thing made a beep. He pressed another button and the thing made a flash. He pressed another button and the thing made a loud boom.
+
+The boom was so loud that it broke the fence and the windows and the door. The driver and the owner of the house came running. They saw the smoke and the fire and the pieces of the box. They saw Tom and Lily lying on the ground, not moving.
+
+They were very angry and very sad. They called the police and the ambulance. They said that Tom and Lily were very naughty and very stupid. They said that the box was not a toy, but a bomb. They said that the bomb was supposed to be delivered on Wednesday, not today. They said that Tom and Lily had ruined everything. They said that Tom and Lily were dead.
+Lily loves her cat, Snowy. Snowy has white fur and blue eyes. He likes to sleep on Lily's bed and play with her toys. Lily likes to hug and kiss Snowy and tell him stories.
+
+One day, Lily and Snowy go outside to play in the garden. They see a butterfly with many colors. Snowy tries to catch the butterfly, but it flies away. Lily laughs and runs after Snowy. They have fun in the sun.
+
+"Snowy, you are my best friend," Lily says. "I love you very much."
+
+Snowy meows and rubs his head on Lily's cheek. He is happy and warm. He loves Lily too.
+
+They hear Lily's mom calling them. It is time to go inside and have lunch. Lily and Snowy run to the door. Lily's mom smiles and hugs them.
+
+"You two are so cute," she says. "Did you have a good time?"
+
+"Yes, mom," Lily says. "We saw a butterfly and played in the garden. Snowy is the best cat ever. He kissed me."
+
+Lily's mom kisses Lily and Snowy. She is proud and warm. She loves them too.
+Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look at the sky. They saw many things in the sky: birds, clouds, planes, and stars. One day, they saw something unknown in the sky. It was big and round and shiny. It looked like a ball of fire.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a new star," Tim said.
+
+They wanted to have a better view of the unknown thing. They climbed on a big rock near the slide. They stood on the edge of the rock and looked up.
+
+"Be careful, Tim. The rock is high and slippery," Lily said.
+
+"I'm fine, Lily. Don't worry," Tim said.
+
+But he was not fine. He lost his balance and fell off the rock. He landed on the ground and hurt his arm. He cried out loud.
+
+Lily ran to him and hugged him. She tried to support him and make him feel better.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tim. Are you okay?" Lily asked.
+
+"It hurts, Lily. It hurts a lot," Tim said.
+
+Lily helped him get up and walk to the bench. She found a band-aid in her backpack and put it on his arm.
+
+"There, Tim. It will heal soon," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend," Tim said.
+
+They sat on the bench and looked at the sky again. The unknown thing was still there, but it did not look so shiny anymore. It looked like it was fading away.
+
+"Maybe it was not a star, Tim. Maybe it was a comet," Lily said.
+
+"A comet? What is a comet?" Tim asked.
+
+"I don't know. But I heard that comets are rare and special. They only come once in a long time," Lily said.
+
+"Really? Then we are lucky to see it, Lily. Even if it made me fall," Tim said.
+
+They smiled at each other and held hands. They learned that some things are unknown and exciting, but also dangerous and scary. They also learned that friends are important and they should support each other when they are hurt or sad. They watched the comet until it disappeared in the sky. They hoped to see it again someday.

+
+One day, Ben and Mia are bored. They want to have fun. They see Miss Lee's desk. They think it is a good place to play. They run to the desk. They climb on it. They take the books and pens. They make a mess.
+
+Miss Lee is in the hall. She hears a noise. She comes back to the classroom. She sees Ben and Mia on her desk. She sees the books and pens on the floor. She is angry.
+
+"Ben! Mia! What are you doing?" she asks. "Get down from my desk right now!"
+
+Ben and Mia are scared. They know they did a bad thing. They get down from the desk. They say sorry to Miss Lee.
+
+Miss Lee is not happy. She tells Ben and Mia to clean up the mess. She tells them to sit in the corner. She tells them to think about what they did. She tells them to be nice and not to run to her desk again.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the yard. They liked to dig in the dirt and find bugs and rocks. They had a big bucket to put their treasures in. Ben found a shiny stone that looked like a star. He showed it to Mia and she smiled.
+
+"Wow, that is a pretty rock, Ben. Can I see it?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, here you go. Be careful, it is rough," Ben said.
+
+Mia took the rock and rubbed it with her fingers. She felt the bumps and edges. She liked how it sparkled in the sun. She gave it back to Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben. That is a nice rock. You are a good finder."
+
+Ben smiled and put the rock in the bucket. He saw something else in the dirt. It was a rag. It was dirty and torn. He picked it up and shook it. He saw some colors on it. He thought it was a picture.
+
+"Look, Mia, I found a rag. It has a picture on it. Do you want to see?" he asked.
+
+Mia looked at the rag. She saw some shapes and lines. She did not know what it was. She said, "What is it, Ben? I do not see a picture. I see a mess."
+
+Ben frowned. He did not like that Mia did not see the picture. He said, "It is a picture, Mia. It is a surprise. You have to look closer. See, here is a house, and here is a tree, and here is a dog."
+
+Mia looked again. She squinted her eyes. She tried to see what Ben saw. She did not see a house, or a tree, or a dog. She saw a rag. She said, "I am sorry, Ben. I do not see it. Maybe it is a different picture. Maybe it is a rag picture."
+
+Ben smiled. He liked that Mia tried to see the picture. He said, "Maybe you are right, Mia. Maybe it is a rag picture. It is a special picture. It is our picture. We can keep it in our bucket. It is our surprise."
+
+Mia smiled. She liked that Ben shared his picture with her. She said, "Okay, Ben. It is our picture. It is our surprise. We can keep it in our bucket. It is our treasure."
+
+Ben and Mia hugged. They were happy. They liked to play in the yard. They liked to find bugs and rocks and rags. They liked to share their surprises. They were good friends.
+Anna and Ben love to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They excite when they see the big hill. They want to roll down the hill and feel the wind in their hair.
+
+They hold hands and run to the top of the hill. They look down and see the grass and the flowers and the trees. They smile and laugh and lie down on their backs. They start to roll down the hill, faster and faster.
+
+They feel the grass tickle their skin and the sun warm their faces. They hear the birds sing and the bees buzz. They breathe fast and fill their lungs with air. They roll and roll and roll until they reach the bottom of the hill.
+
+They stop and sit up. They feel dizzy and happy. They look at each other and giggle. They hug and say, "That was fun!" They stand up and run to the hill again. They want to roll down the hill one more time.
+Lily and Tom are pupils in the same class. They like to play and have fun, but sometimes they do not behave well. They talk and laugh when the teacher is talking, and they run and jump when they should sit and listen.
+
+One day, the teacher is very angry with them. She says, "Lily and Tom, you are very playful, but you are also very naughty. You do not listen to me, and you do not follow the rules. You make a lot of noise, and you disturb the other pupils. You need to behave better, or you will have to go to the time-out corner."
+
+Lily and Tom feel sorry. They do not want to go to the time-out corner. They want to play with their friends, and they want to learn new things. They say, "We are sorry, teacher. We will behave better. We will be quiet and calm, and we will pay attention to you. Please give us another chance."
+
+The teacher smiles. She says, "I am glad you are sorry, and I am glad you want to behave better. I will give you another chance, but you have to keep your promise. You have to show me that you can be good pupils, and that you can respect me and the other pupils. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They say, "Yes, teacher. We can do that. We will do our best." They go back to their seats, and they behave well for the rest of the day. They do not talk or laugh when the teacher is talking, and they do not run or jump when they should sit and listen. They raise their hands when they have a question, and they say please and thank you when they need something. They also play nicely with their friends, and they share and take turns.
+
+The teacher is very happy with them. She says, "Lily and Tom, you are very playful, but you are also very good. You have listened to me, and you have followed the rules.

+
+"Oh no, poor bird!" Anna says. "We need to help it."
+
+Ben nods. He is compassionate. He likes to help animals. He remembers his mom has a note in her bag. The note has a phone number of a vet. The vet can help the bird.
+
+"Wait here, Anna. I will get the note," Ben says. He runs to his mom, who is sitting on a bench. He tells her about the bird. His mom gives him the note.
+
+"Good job, Ben. You are very kind," his mom says. "Let's go back to Anna and the bird."
+
+Ben and his mom go back to the park. They find Anna and the bird. Anna is gentle. She talks to the bird softly.

+Ben and Lily were having lunch at school. They had sandwiches and juice boxes. Ben saw that Lily had a napkin, but he did not. He wanted to borrow her napkin, because his mouth was messy.
+
+"Can I have your napkin, please?" he asked Lily.
+
+"No, you can't. It's mine. You should have brought your own," Lily said. She was not very nice.
+
+Ben felt sad and poor. He did not have a napkin, and he did not have many things at home. His mom and dad worked hard, but they did not have much money.
+
+He looked around and saw a teacher. She had a big stack of napkins on her table. He had an idea. He waited until the teacher was busy, and then he ran to her table. He grabbed a napkin and ran back to his seat.
+
+He wiped his mouth and felt happy. He had a napkin now. He did not think he did anything wrong. He just borrowed a napkin.
+
+But the teacher saw him. She was angry. She walked to his seat and said, "Ben, did you take a napkin from my table without asking?"
+
+Ben nodded. He was scared.
+
+"That's not nice, Ben. That's stealing. You should not take things that are not yours. You should ask first. And you should say sorry," the teacher said.
+
+Ben felt ashamed. He did not know stealing was bad. He thought borrowing was okay. He said sorry to the teacher. He gave her back the napkin.
+
+The teacher smiled. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, please ask me. I have plenty of napkins. You can have one if you need one. And you can also share with your friends. Sharing is caring."
+
+Ben nodded. He learned his lesson. He said thank you to the teacher. He also said sorry to Lily. He asked her if she wanted to share his sandwich. Lily smiled. She said yes. They became friends. They ate their lunch and shared their napkins. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the yard. They have a big orange truck that they can push and pull. They like to fill the truck with sand, rocks and leaves.
+
+"Look, I have a lot of sand in my truck!" Tom says. He shows Lily his truck. "I can make a hill with it!"
+
+"That's nice, Tom!" Lily says. She has a pair of scissors in her hand. She likes to cut things with them. "I have scissors. I can cut paper and make shapes!"
+
+Tom and Lily decide to share their toys. They take turns with the truck and the scissors. They have fun making hills and shapes.
+
+But then, Lily has an idea. She sees a flower in the garden. It is yellow and pretty. She wants to cut it and put it in her truck.
+
+She takes the scissors and walks to the flower. She is about to cut it when Tom sees her.
+
+"Stop, Lily!" Tom shouts. "Don't cut the flower! It is not yours! It is Mom's flower! She will be sad if you cut it!"
+
+Lily stops. She looks at Tom. She looks at the flower. She feels sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," she says. "I didn't know it was Mom's flower. I just wanted to make my truck more pretty."
+
+Tom smiles. He has an idea. He takes a leaf from the ground. He cuts it into a heart shape. He gives it to Lily.
+
+"Here, Lily," he says. "You can put this in your truck. It is a leaf heart. It is pretty and it is yours."
+
+Lily smiles. She takes the leaf heart. She puts it in her truck. She thanks Tom.
+
+They hug. They are happy. They go back to playing with their truck and their scissors. They are careful not to cut anything that is not theirs.
+Anna and Ben like to play with their toy planes. They pretend to be pilots and fly to different places. They make noises like zoom and vroom and beep.
+
+One day, they hear a real plane in the sky. They look up and see a big white plane with a blue tail. They wonder where it is going and who is flying it.
+
+"Let's call the pilot and ask him!" Ben says. He picks up his toy phone and dials a number. He holds it to his ear and waits.
+
+"Hello, this is the pilot. Who is this?" a voice says.
+
+"Hi, pilot! This is Ben. I am playing with my sister Anna. We have toy planes. We like to be pilots too. Where are you going?" Ben asks.
+
+"Hello, Ben. I am glad you like to be a pilot. I am going to New York. It is a big city with many buildings and people. It is very far from here. I have to fly for a long time," the pilot says.
+
+"Wow, New York sounds fun. Can we go with you?" Ben asks.
+
+"I am sorry, Ben. You cannot go with me. This plane is full of passengers. They have tickets and bags and seats. You need those things to fly on a plane. And you need to be older and taller too," the pilot says.
+
+"Oh, I see. That's okay. Maybe when we grow up, we can fly on a plane too. Thank you for talking to us, pilot. You are very nice. Bye!" Ben says.
+
+"Bye, Ben. You are very polite. Keep playing and learning. Maybe one day, you will be a real pilot. Have a good day!" the pilot says.
+
+Ben hangs up the phone and smiles. He tells Anna what the pilot said. They are happy and curious. They keep playing with their toy planes and dreaming of flying. They do not notice that their mom is watching them and smiling too. She is proud of her busy and brave children.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they decided to explore the big house next to their home. They saw a sign that said "hospital", but they did not know what it meant. They climbed over the fence and sneaked into the house.
+
+They saw many rooms with beds and machines and people in white clothes. They were curious and wanted to see more. They opened a door and saw a man lying on a bed. He had a big bandage on his head and tubes in his nose. He looked very ugly and scary.
+
+"Who are you?" the man asked in a weak voice.
+
+"We are Tom and Lily. We live next door. We wanted to see the hospital," Tom said.
+
+"This is not a place for children. This is a place for sick and hurt people. You should go back to your home," the man said.
+
+"Why are you here? Why are you ugly?" Lily asked.
+
+"I had a car crash. I hurt my head and my face. The doctors are trying to make me better. But I don't know if I will ever be the same," the man said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry for the man. They wanted to make him happy. They gave him a hug and a smile. They told him their names and their favorite games and colors. They made him laugh and forget his pain.
+
+The man was glad to have some visitors. He thanked Tom and Lily for their kindness. He told them to be careful and not to play near the road. He gave them a candy and a sticker.
+
+Tom and Lily said goodbye to the man. They learned something new today. They discovered that the hospital was a place where people needed help and love. They also discovered that ugly people could be nice and friendly. They ran back to their home and told their mom what they saw and did. Their mom was proud of them and hugged them. She also told them not to go to the hospital again without her.
+Sara is a big girl. She likes to do things by herself. She is independent. She does not need help to put on her shoes, or to brush her teeth, or to choose her clothes.
+
+One day, Sara wants to go to the park. She tells her mom, "I want to go to the park. I can go by myself. I am independent."
+
+Her mom says, "No, Sara. You cannot go to the park by yourself. The park is far away. You need to cross the street. You need to be safe. You need to listen to me."
+
+Sara is angry. She does not want to listen to her mom. She thinks her mom is wrong. She thinks she can go to the park by herself. She is independent.
+
+She waits until her mom is busy. She sneaks out of the house. She walks to the park. She does not look at the street. She does not see the cars. She does not hear the horns.
+
+She reaches the park. She sees the swings, the slide, the sandbox. She thinks the park is a fun place. She runs to the swings. She does not see the big dog. She does not hear the bark.
+
+The big dog runs to Sara. He jumps on her. He knocks her down. He licks her face. He scares her. She cries. She wants her mom. She is not independent.
+Sara loved to go to the park with her mom. She liked to see the birds, the flowers, and the big trees. But her favorite thing was the vendor who sold ice cream. He always had a smile on his face and a funny hat on his head. He knew Sara's name and always gave her a pink ice cream cone, her favorite color.
+
+One day, Sara and her mom went to the park as usual. Sara ran to the vendor and asked for a pink ice cream cone. But the vendor looked sad. He said he was sorry, but he had no more pink ice cream. He only had white, brown, and green. Sara felt sad too. She did not want any other color. She wanted pink.
+
+The vendor saw Sara's sad face and had an idea. He said he had a special surprise for her. He asked her to close her eyes and hold out her hand. Sara did as he said. She felt something cold and wet in her hand. She opened her eyes and saw a pink ice cream cone. She was so happy. She asked the vendor how he did it.
+
+The vendor smiled and showed her his funny hat. It had a secret pocket with a pink spray. He said he sprayed the white ice cream with the pink spray and made it pink. He said he did it because he liked Sara and wanted to make her smile. Sara smiled and thanked the vendor. She gave him a hug and licked her pink ice cream. She thought it was the best ice cream ever.
+Lily is a daughter who likes to say things loud. She says hello to the sun, the birds, the flowers and the trees. She says her name to everyone she meets. She says what she wants and what she does not want.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom go to the park. Lily sees a big slide and runs to it. She says, "I want to slide! I want to slide!" She climbs up the ladder and slides down fast. She says, "Whee! That was fun!" She does it again and again.
+
+But then, she sees another daughter on the slide. She has a pink dress and a bow in her hair. She is waiting for her turn. Lily does not want to share. She says, "No! This is my slide! Go away!" She says it loud and mean.
+
+The other daughter looks sad. She says, "But I want to slide too. Can we take turns?" She says it soft and nice.
+
+Lily's mom hears what Lily says. She is not happy. She says, "Lily, that is not nice. You have to share. The slide is for everyone. Say sorry to the other daughter." She says it firm and calm.
+
+Lily feels bad. She knows she was wrong. She says, "Sorry. I was rude. Do you want to slide with me?" She says it low and shy.
+
+The other daughter smiles. She says, "Yes, thank you. That would be fun." She says it high and happy.
+
+They slide together and laugh. They become friends. Lily's mom is proud. She says, "Good job, Lily. You are a kind daughter." She says it warm and sweet.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was the carpet. The carpet was big and soft and had many colors. They liked to pretend it was a store, and they sold things to each other.
+
+"Hello, welcome to my store!" Tom said. He had a hat and a bag. "What do you want to buy?"
+
+Lily looked around. She saw a ball, a doll, a book, and a teddy bear. She pointed to the teddy bear. "I want the teddy bear, please. How much is it?"
+
+Tom smiled. He liked the teddy bear too. It was brown and fuzzy and had a gentle face. "The teddy bear is five hugs," he said.
+
+Lily nodded. She gave Tom five hugs. He gave her the teddy bear. They both laughed.
+
+"Thank you for coming to my store!" Tom said. "Come again soon!"
+
+Lily hugged the teddy bear. "Thank you for the teddy bear!" she said. "It is very nice!"

+Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Anna likes to brush Lily's hair and make her talk.
+
+One day, Anna's brother Tom comes into her room. Tom is older and bigger than Anna. He likes to tease Anna and take her things. He sees Lily on the bed and grabs her. He says, "This is my doll now. She is boring and ugly."
+
+Anna is angry and sad. She wants Lily back. She says, "No, Tom. Lily is my doll. Give her back. She is not boring and ugly. She is interesting and pretty."
+
+Tom laughs and runs away with Lily. He says, "Catch me if you can, Anna. You are too slow and small."
+
+Anna runs after Tom. She tries to catch him, but he is faster and taller. She shouts, "Stop, Tom. Stop. You are mean and bad."
+
+Tom runs into the kitchen, where Mom is making cookies. He tries to hide Lily behind his back, but Mom sees him. She says, "Tom, what are you doing with Anna's doll? That is not yours. That is hers."
+
+Tom says, "But Mom, Anna's doll is boring and ugly. I want to play with it."
+
+Mom says, "No, Tom. Anna's doll is interesting and pretty. She loves it very much. You cannot take it from her. That is not nice. You have to give it back."
+
+Tom says, "But Mom, I don't want to."
+
+Mom says, "Tom, you have to. Or you will not get any cookies. And you will have to go to your room for a minute. Do you want that?"
+
+Tom thinks. He likes cookies. He does not like his room. He says, "No, Mom. I don't want that."
+
+Mom says, "Then give Lily back to Anna. And say sorry to her. And be nice to her. Or I will prevent you from playing with anything."
+
+Tom says, "Okay, Mom. I will." He gives Lily back to Anna. He says, "Sorry, Anna. I was mean and bad. You can have your doll."
+
+Anna says, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. You can play with me if you want. But be nice to Lily. She is interesting and pretty."
+
+Tom says, "Okay, Anna. I will." He smiles and hugs Anna. He says, "You are interesting and pretty too. And so is Mom. And so are the cookies."
+
+Mom says, "That's better, Tom. I'm proud of you. And I love you. And I love Anna. And I love Lily. And I love the cookies. Come on, let's have some cookies. But wash your hands first."
+
+They all go to the table and have some cookies. They are happy and full. They have a good day. The end.
+Sara liked to write in her diary every day. She wrote about what she did, what she saw, and what she felt. She had a pink diary with a lock and a key. She kept it in her drawer under her socks.
+
+One day, her brother Tom was bored. He wanted to play with Sara, but she was busy writing in her diary. He knocked on her door, but she said, "Go away, Tom. I am busy. This is my quiet time."
+
+Tom was angry. He did not like to be told to go away. He wanted to see what Sara was writing. He sneaked into her room when she was not looking. He found her diary in her drawer. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He pulled and pulled, but it did not open. He got more angry. He twisted and twisted, but it did not open. He got very angry. He snapped the lock with his hands. It broke with a loud noise.
+
+Sara heard the noise. She ran to her room. She saw Tom holding her broken diary. She was very sad and very mad. She shouted, "Tom, you are so noisy and so mean! You broke my diary! You ruined my quiet time! How could you do that?"
+
+Tom felt sorry. He saw Sara's tears and heard her shout. He realized he had done a bad thing. He said, "I am sorry, Sara. I was bored and curious. I wanted to play with you and see what you wrote. I did not mean to break your diary. Please forgive me."
+
+Sara was still sad and mad, but she also loved her brother. She said, "I forgive you, Tom, but you have to promise me two things. One, you have to buy me a new diary with a new lock and a new key. Two, you have to respect my quiet time and never touch my diary again. Do you promise?"
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "I promise, Sara. I will buy you a new diary and I will respect your quiet time. I am sorry I was noisy and mean. Can we still play together?"
+
+Sara smiled. She said, "Yes, we can still play together. But first, let me finish writing in my diary. I have to write about what happened today."
+Anna loved to play in nature. She liked to run in the grass, smell the flowers, and watch the birds. She had a lot of fun with her friends, Ben and Lily, who also liked nature.
+
+One day, they decided to go to the park and explore. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wondered what was inside. Ben said he wanted to climb the tree and look. Anna and Lily said they would wait for him.
+
+Ben climbed the tree and reached the hole. He was curious and put his hand inside. He felt something soft and warm. He pulled his hand out and saw a baby bird. He was happy and wanted to show it to his friends.
+
+But the baby bird was not happy. It was scared and hurt. It cried out loud. Ben heard a loud noise above him. He looked up and saw a big bird. It was the baby bird's mother. She was angry and troubled. She wanted to protect her baby.
+
+She flew down and pecked at Ben's head. Ben was scared and hurt. He dropped the baby bird and fell from the tree. He landed on the grass and cried. Anna and Lily ran to him and hugged him. They told him to quit climbing trees and leave nature alone. They said nature was not a toy and they should be careful and kind. Ben said he was sorry and he learned his lesson. He said he would never do it again. They helped him get up and went home. They were still friends, but they played in a safer way.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make noises like vroom and beep when they push them on the floor. Sometimes they race their cars to see who is faster.
+
+One day, they find a new car in their toy box. It is a big red car with a motor. When they turn it on, it moves by itself. Lily and Ben are very happy. They want to try the motor car.
+
+They take the motor car to the living room. They put it on the carpet and press the button. The motor car starts to go. It goes very fast and makes a loud noise. Lily and Ben laugh and clap.
+
+But then, the motor car goes too fast. It runs into the sofa and falls over. The motor falls out of the car and rolls under the sofa. Lily and Ben are sad. They try to reach the motor, but it is too far. They cannot see it.
+
+"Where is the motor?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. We lost it." Ben says.
+
+They try to lift the sofa, but it is too heavy. They try to use a stick, but it is too short. They try to call their mom, but she is busy. They do not know what to do.
+
+They look at the motor car. It does not move anymore. It is quiet and still. They feel sorry for the car.
+
+"Maybe we can find another motor." Lily says.
+
+"Maybe. But it is difficult." Ben says.
+
+They hug the car and hope they can fix it someday. They put it back in the toy box and play with their other cars. They still like their cars, but they miss the motor car.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big sack near the slide. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben says.
+
+"OK!" Mia says.
+
+They pull the sack. It is heavy. They hear a noise. It is a dog. The dog is in the sack. The dog is angry. It barks and growls.
+
+"Help!" Ben and Mia shout.
+
+They run away from the sack. The dog jumps out of the sack. It chases them. It is a noisy dog.
+
+A man comes to the park. He sees the dog. He sees the sack. He sees a note on the sack. The note says: "Please take care of my dog. I cannot keep him. He is noisy and naughty."
+
+The man is sad. He likes dogs. He calls the dog. The dog stops chasing Ben and Mia. The dog goes to the man. The man pets the dog. The dog wags his tail.
+
+"Hello, boy. Do you need a home?" the man says.
+
+The dog licks the man's face. The man smiles.
+
+"Come on, let's go. I will be your new friend." the man says.
+
+He picks up the sack. He puts the note in his pocket. He walks away with the dog.
+
+Ben and Mia are safe. They are also sad. They liked the dog. They wanted to play with him.
+
+"Maybe he will be happy with the man." Ben says.
+
+"Maybe we can find another dog to play with." Mia says.
+
+They hold hands. They go back to the slide. They have fun.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw some dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise like a drum.
+
+"Rain is coming!" Tom said. "Let's go home!"
+
+But Lily wanted to stay and play. She saw a big puddle and ran to it. She splashed and laughed.
+
+"Come on, Lily!" Tom said. "Rain can be harsh. It can make you wet and cold and sick."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She jumped and kicked the water. She did not see the flash of light and the boom of thunder.
+
+Suddenly, the rain came down hard. It was like a shower of needles. Lily cried and ran to Tom. She was wet and scared.
+
+"Help me, Tom!" she said.
+
+Tom hugged her and tried to calm her down. He looked for a place to hide. He saw a big tree with a hole in it. He pulled Lily and they crawled inside. They were safe and dry.
+
+"See, Lily?" Tom said. "I told you rain can be harsh. Next time, listen to me, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and said sorry. She hugged Tom and said thank you. They waited for the rain to stop. They learned their lesson.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they have a meeting at Tim's house. They want to make a big city with their toys.
+
+"Let's be organized," Tim says. "You make the roads and I make the buildings."
+
+"OK," Sam says. He starts to put the cars in a line. He makes a long road.
+
+Tim picks up some blocks. He tries to stack them up. He wants to make a tall building. But the blocks are heavy and wobbly. He struggles to keep them balanced.
+
+"Look at my road," Sam says. "It is very long and straight."
+
+Tim looks at Sam's road. He feels sad. His building is not very tall or straight. It keeps falling down. He struggles to make it better.
+
+"Look at my building," Tim says. "It is very tall and strong."
+
+Sam looks at Tim's building. He sees that it is not very tall or strong. It is crooked and shaky. He feels sorry for Tim. He wants to help him.
+
+"Your building is nice," Sam says. "But maybe we can make it better together. Do you want to share some blocks and cars?"
+
+Tim nods. He smiles. He likes Sam. He likes to share. He gives Sam some blocks and Sam gives him some cars. They work together. They make a big city with their toys. They are organized and happy. They have a good meeting.
+Lily liked to play in the garden with her doll. She saw many pretty flowers and bugs. She wanted to pick some flowers for her doll. She saw a big red flower with a yellow middle. It looked like a sun. She reached for it.
+
+"Stop!" a voice said. Lily turned around. It was her big brother Tom. He ran to her and pulled her away from the flower. "That is a bad flower. It has poison. If you touch it, you will get sick."
+
+Lily was confused. She did not know what poison was. She did not want to get sick. She asked Tom, "What is poison?"
+
+Tom said, "Poison is something that hurts you. It can make you feel bad, or make you sleep, or make you go away. You should not touch poison. You should only touch good things, like grass and water and fruit."
+
+Lily nodded. She was glad Tom was there. He knew many things. He was a good brother. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are smart. How do you know about poison?"
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "I learned from Mom. She told me about poison when I was little like you. She said we should always be careful in the garden. She said we should always call her if we see something we don't know."
+
+Lily said, "I will call Mom too. I want to learn more things. Can we go and find Mom now?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, let's go. Maybe she will give us a snack. Come on, Lily. Bring your doll. We will have fun."
+
+They held hands and walked to the house. They did not see the snake that was hiding under the big red flower. It was waiting for a mouse to come by. It did not care about poison. It had poison in its teeth.
+Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower with all the blocks they had. They used a ruler to measure the blocks and make sure they were the same size. They were very careful and obedient and followed the rules of the game.
+
+One day, a new boy came to play with them. His name was Max and he was very naughty. He did not like to measure the blocks or follow the rules. He wanted to knock down the tower and make a mess. He said it was more fun that way.
+
+Tom and Sue did not like Max. They told him to stop and leave them alone. But Max did not listen. He grabbed the ruler and threw it at the tower. The tower fell down and the blocks scattered everywhere. Tom and Sue were very sad and angry. They shouted at Max and told him to go away.
+
+But Max did not go away. He laughed and picked up the ruler again. He ran around the room and hit everything with the ruler. He hit the table, the chair, the lamp, and the window. He broke many things and made a lot of noise.
+
+The teacher heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken things and the mess. She saw Max with the ruler and Tom and Sue with the blocks. She was very mad and disappointed. She took the ruler from Max and scolded him. She said he was a bad boy and he had to go to jail. She put him in a corner and told him to stay there until he learned to behave. She said he could not play with the blocks or the ruler anymore.
+
+Tom and Sue felt sorry for Max. They knew he was in trouble and he was bored. They decided to be nice and share their blocks with him. They asked him if he wanted to help them build a new tower. They said they would teach him how to measure the blocks and follow the rules. They said it was more fun to play together than to fight.
+
+Max felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he was wrong and he hurt his friends. He said he was sorry and he wanted to play with them. He said he would listen and learn and be obedient. He said he did not want to go to jail again.
+
+The teacher heard them and smiled. She was glad they made up and became friends. She said they could play with the blocks and the ruler again. She said they were good children and she was proud of them. She said they could have a snack and a story after they finished their tower. She said she hoped they would always be kind and respectful to each other.
+Anna and Ben liked to play near the river. They had a big bridge made of wood and rope. They could cross the bridge and see the fish and the ducks. Sometimes they threw stones or sticks in the water and watched them splash.
+
+One day, they saw a new animal near the bridge. It was brown and furry and had a long tail. It looked at them with bright eyes and made a funny noise. "What is that?" Anna asked. "I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it wants to play with us."
+
+They went closer to the animal. It ran away and hid under the bridge. They followed it and peeked under the bridge. The animal was there, holding a shiny thing in its mouth. It was a spoon. "Hey, that's my spoon!" Anna said. "I brought it for my snack. Give it back!"
+
+She reached out her hand to grab the spoon. The animal hissed and bit her finger. "Ow!" Anna cried. "It bit me! It's not playful, it's mean!" Ben ran to help her. He took a stick and waved it at the animal. "Go away, you bad animal! Leave us alone!"
+
+The animal dropped the spoon and ran away. Anna and Ben picked up the spoon and ran back to their side of the bridge. They hugged each other and checked Anna's finger. It was not bleeding, but it hurt. "I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. "I should have been more careful. Are you okay?" Anna nodded and smiled. "I'm okay, Ben. Thank you for saving me. You are a good friend." They shared their snack and decided to play somewhere else. They never went near the bridge again.
+Sara and Tom were at the shop with their mom. They wanted to buy some candy, but mom said no. She said candy was bad for their teeth and too much price. Sara and Tom were sad and angry. They did not like the shop. They wanted to go home.
+
+"Please, mom, can we have some candy?" Sara asked. She pointed to a big jar of sweet gummy bears.
+
+"No, Sara, you heard me. Candy is not good for you. And we don't have enough money for that. We need to buy food and clothes and other things." Mom said. She put some bread and milk and eggs in the cart.
+
+"But mom, we love candy. And we have been good today. We did not make a mess or cry or fight." Tom said. He looked at a bag of colorful lollipops.
+
+"I know, Tom, but candy is a treat, not a need. Maybe we can have some candy another day, when we have more money and you eat your vegetables." Mom said. She pushed the cart to the cashier.
+
+Sara and Tom were very bored. They did not want to wait in the line. They did not want to look at the candy. They did not want to listen to mom. They started to yawn. They felt sleepy. They wished they were in their bed, with their toys and books and blankets.
+
+"Mom, can we go home now?" Sara asked. She rubbed her eyes.
+
+"Yes, sweetie, we are almost done. Just a few more minutes." Mom said. She smiled and hugged Sara and Tom. She paid the cashier and took the bags.
+
+Sara and Tom followed mom to the car. They were still sad and angry, but also tired and hungry. They hoped mom would make them something yummy for dinner. And maybe, just maybe, she would give them a little candy for dessert.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find bugs and worms. They also liked to make mud pies and pretend they were cakes.
+
+One day, they found a big pumpkin in the corner of the garden. It was orange and round and had a funny face carved on it. Lily and Ben thought it was a toy and wanted to play with it.
+
+"Let's take it to our mud kitchen," Lily said. "We can make pumpkin pie!"
+
+"OK," Ben said. "But it's very heavy. We need to cut it first."
+
+They got a knife from the shed and tried to cut the pumpkin. But the pumpkin was too hard and the knife was too dull. They could not cut it at all.
+
+They got frustrated and angry. They pushed and pulled and kicked the pumpkin. But it did not move.
+
+"Stupid pumpkin!" Lily shouted. "Why won't you cut?"
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud pop. The pumpkin burst open and a lot of brown goo came out. It smelled bad and it was sticky and slimy. It got on their clothes and their faces and their hair.
+
+They screamed and ran away. The pumpkin was rotten inside. It was not a toy. It was an old Halloween pumpkin that someone had thrown away.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily said. "That was the worst pumpkin pie ever!"
+
+"Let's go take a bath," Ben said. "And never play with pumpkins again!"
+Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They find a radio in the shed. It is old and dirty. They want to hear music.
+
+"Can we make it work?" Lily asks.
+
+"Maybe we can repair it," Tom says. He looks for tools. He finds a screwdriver and a hammer.
+
+He opens the radio with the screwdriver. He sees wires and batteries inside. He tries to fix them with the hammer. He hits them hard.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Lily shouts. "You are breaking it more!"
+
+Tom stops. He looks at the radio. It is worse than before. He feels sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I don't know how to repair it," he says.
+
+Lily hugs him. "It's okay, Tom. You tried. Maybe we can find someone who knows. Someone nice and smart."
+
+They take the radio to the house. They show it to their mom. She smiles.
+
+"Wow, what a nice radio! Where did you find it?" she asks.
+
+"In the shed. We wanted to hear music, but it doesn't work. We tried to repair it, but we couldn't," they say.
+
+Mom looks at the radio. She sees the wires and the batteries. She sees the hammer marks.
+
+"I see. Well, you know what? I have a friend who is very good at repairing radios. Maybe he can help us. Do you want to go with me and see him?" she asks.
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They are happy.
+
+"Yay! Maybe he can make it work. Maybe we can hear music," they say.
+
+They go with mom to see her friend. He is nice and smart. He repairs the radio. He turns it on. They hear music. They dance and sing. They are very happy. They thank him.
+
+They take the radio back to the garden. They play with it. They have fun. They love the radio. They love mom. They love each other. The end.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a map in a box. The map has many colors and lines. They want to see what the map shows.
+
+"Look, Tom, this is a map. It can help us find things," Lila says.
+
+"What things, Lila?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a treasure, or a secret place, or a new friend. Let's try to follow the map," Lila says.
+
+They hold the map and walk around. They look at the trees, the flowers, the rocks, and the sky. They try to match the map with what they see. They have fun.
+
+After a while, they see a big gate. The gate is open. The map says the gate is the end of the map.
+
+"Wow, Lila, we found the gate. What do you think is behind it?" Tom says.
+
+"Let's go and see, Tom. Maybe it's something amazing," Lila says.
+
+They run to the gate. They are excited. They go through the gate. They see a big playground. The playground has swings, slides, sand, and toys. There are many children playing and laughing.
+
+"Look, Lila, we found a new place. And new friends. The map was right," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, Tom, we did. The map was a good thing. Let's play with them," Lila says.
+
+They smile and join the other children. They play and have fun. They are happy. They thank the map. The map is happy too.
+Tom and Lily were waiting for their family to arrive. They wanted to play with their cousins and eat cake. They looked out of the window and saw a big car. "They are here!" Tom shouted. He ran to the door and opened it.
+
+But it was not their family. It was a man and a woman in black clothes. They had sad faces and a big box. "Hello, Tom and Lily," the woman said. "We are sorry to tell you this, but your family had a bad accident. They are not coming."
+
+Tom and Lily did not understand. They looked at the box and felt scared. "What is in there?" Lily asked. "Is it a present?"
+
+The man shook his head. "No, it is not a present. It is your family. They are in the box. They are not alive anymore."
+
+Tom and Lily started to cry. They did not want their family in a box. They wanted them to hug and kiss them. They wanted them to play and laugh with them. They wanted them to be happy. But they were not. They were gone.
+
+The man and the woman took them to their car. They said they would take them to a new home. But Tom and Lily did not want a new home. They wanted their old home. They wanted their family. But they could not have them. They felt very gloomy. They did not like this story. They wished it was not true.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big chain in the garage. It is shiny and heavy.
+
+"Let's play with the chain!" Ben says. He wraps it around his neck and pretends to be a superhero.
+
+"No, Ben, that is not safe!" Anna says. She tries to take the chain off him, but it is too tight. Ben starts to cry. He cannot breathe.
+
+Anna runs to find Mom. Mom is in the kitchen. She sees Anna and hears Ben crying.
+
+"What is wrong, Anna?" Mom asks.
+
+"Ben has a chain on his neck! He cannot breathe!" Anna says.
+
+Mom drops what she is doing and runs to the garage. She sees Ben with the chain on his neck. She is scared and angry.
+
+"Ben, why did you do that? That is very dangerous!" Mom says. She grabs the chain and pulls it off him. Ben gasps for air. He is red and sweaty.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to play with the chain. I did not know it would hurt me." Ben says.
+
+Mom hugs Ben and kisses him. She is compassionate. She knows Ben did not mean to hurt himself. She is glad he is okay.
+
+"Ben, you have to be careful with things you find. Some things are not toys. They can hurt you or others. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, Mom. I understand. I will not play with the chain again." Ben says.
+
+Mom smiles and wipes his tears. She takes the chain and puts it away. She tells Anna and Ben to come with her.
+
+"Let's go to the store. I will buy you some ice cream. You have been very brave and helpful, Anna. And you have learned a lesson, Ben. I love you both." Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben smile and hold Mom's hand. They go to the store and have ice cream. They are happy. They love Mom.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with clay. They made animals and people and houses with the clay. They had fun and shared the clay.
+
+One day, they found a big piece of clay in the yard. It was soft and smooth and shiny. They both wanted to use it for their clay art.
+
+"Give me the clay!" Ben said. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, I want the clay!" Lily said. "It is my turn!"
+
+They pulled and tugged and fought over the clay. The clay broke into two pieces. Ben and Lily were sad and angry.
+
+"Look what you did!" Ben said. "You ruined the clay!"
+
+"You did it!" Lily said. "You were too greedy!"
+
+They turned away from each other and did not talk.
+
+Mama saw them and came over. She saw the broken clay and the unhappy faces.
+
+"What happened here?" Mama asked.
+
+"Ben and Lily told her what happened. They blamed each other for the broken clay.
+
+Mama shook her head. "You both made a mistake. You did not yield to each other. You did not share the clay. You did not act like loyal friends."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry. They knew Mama was right. They looked at each other and said sorry.
+
+"Can we still play with the clay?" Ben asked.
+
+"Can we still be friends?" Lily asked.
+
+Mama smiled. "Of course you can. But you have to learn to yield sometimes. You have to learn to share and be loyal. That is how you make good friends and good art."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They hugged each other and hugged Mama. They took the two pieces of clay and joined them together. They made a big heart with the clay. They wrote their names on it. They gave it to Mama.
+
+"We love you, Mama," they said.
+
+"I love you, too," Mama said. "And I am proud of you. You learned a valuable lesson today."
+
+The end.
+Ben and Mia were at the park with their mom. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. They wanted to play near the fountain, but mom said no. She said the water was cold and they could get wet.
+
+Ben and Mia were sad. They wanted to have fun with the water. They saw some kids with ice cream cones. They asked mom if they could have some too. Mom said yes, and bought them each a cone. Ben had chocolate and Mia had vanilla.
+
+They walked to a bench and licked their ice cream. It was sweet and yummy. But the sun was hot and their ice cream started to melt. It dripped on their hands and faces. They tried to eat it faster, but it was too much.
+
+"Look, mom, my ice cream is melting!" Ben said.
+
+"Mine too!" Mia said.
+
+Mom smiled and gave them some napkins. She said, "That's okay, you can still enjoy your ice cream. But next time, we can get smaller cones, or cups. Then they won't melt so fast."
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They wiped their hands and faces and finished their ice cream. They felt happy and full. They thanked mom for the treat.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I'm proud of you for being polite and not making a fuss. You are good kids."
+
+Ben and Mia smiled and said, "We love you, mom."
+
+They held mom's hand and walked back to the car. They waved goodbye to the fountain and the park. They had a nice day.
+Tom was a boy who liked to eat a lot. He ate bread, cheese, fruit, cake, and candy. He ate so much that his hair grew very long and messy. His mom said he had to go to the barber to cut his hair.
+
+Tom did not want to go to the barber. He was scared of the barber. He thought the barber would hurt him with the scissors and the razor. He said to his mom, "No, no, no! I do not want to go to the barber! I want to eat more!"
+
+His mom was angry. She said, "You have to go to the barber, Tom. You cannot eat more. You have eaten enough. Come on, let's go now."
+
+She took Tom by the hand and dragged him to the barber shop. Tom cried and screamed. He tried to run away, but his mom was stronger. She pushed him into the barber's chair and told the barber to cut his hair.
+
+The barber was a big man with a loud voice. He said, "Hello, Tom. Don't be scared. I will make you look nice and neat. Just sit still and relax."
+
+He picked up the scissors and the razor and started to cut Tom's hair. But Tom did not sit still and relax. He moved and kicked and shouted. He said, "Stop, stop, stop! I do not want you to cut my hair! I want to eat more!"
+
+The barber was annoyed. He said, "Be quiet, Tom. You are making my job hard. You have to let me cut your hair. It is too long and messy."
+
+He tried to cut Tom's hair faster, but he made a mistake. He cut too much and too close. He cut Tom's ear with the razor. Tom felt a sharp pain and saw blood. He screamed louder than ever. He said, "Ow, ow, ow! You hurt me! You hurt me!"
+
+The barber was shocked. He said, "Oh, no, no, no! I am sorry, Tom. I did not mean to hurt you. It was an accident. Let me get a bandage and some ice."
+
+He ran to get a bandage and some ice, but it was too late. Tom was bleeding a lot. He fainted and fell from the chair. His mom was terrified. She said, "Tom, Tom, Tom! Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
+
+She called for help, but no one came. The barber shop was empty. The barber had run away. He was scared of the police. He had no license to cut hair. He was a bad barber.
+
+Tom did not wake up. He died. His mom was very sad. She wished she had not taken him to the barber. She wished she had let him eat more. She cried and cried and cried. The end.
+Lily and Max went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and monkeys. They liked the monkeys best, because they were funny and playful. They wanted to count how many monkeys there were, but they were too fast and jumped around a lot.
+
+"Mom, how can we count the monkeys?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe you can ask the gorilla. He lives with the monkeys and he is very polite. He might help you," mom said.
+
+Lily and Max looked for the gorilla. They found him sitting on a big rock, eating a banana. He was very big and hairy, but he had kind eyes.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Gorilla. Can you help us?" Lily said.
+
+"Hello, little ones. What do you need?" the gorilla said.
+
+"We want to count the monkeys, but they are too fast. Can you tell us how many there are?" Max said.
+
+"Sure, I can. I know all the monkeys by name. There are ten monkeys in this cage. Do you want to hear their names?" the gorilla said.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Max said.
+
+The gorilla told them the names of the monkeys, and pointed to each one. Lily and Max repeated the names and counted along. They were very happy and thanked the gorilla.
+
+"You're welcome. You are very nice and curious. I like that. Come back anytime," the gorilla said.
+
+Lily and Max learned that the gorilla was very polite and smart. They also learned that counting can be fun and easy, if you have a good friend to help you. They waved goodbye to the gorilla and the monkeys, and went to see other animals.
+Tom and Anna like to play in the field. They run and jump and pick flowers. They have a ball that they kick and throw. They have fun with the ball.
+
+One day, a big dog comes to the field. The dog sees the ball and wants to play too. The dog runs and grabs the ball with his teeth. He runs away with the ball. Tom and Anna are sad. They want their ball back.
+
+They see the dog near a tree. The dog is tired. He puts the ball down and lies on the grass. Tom has an idea. He is clever. He finds a stick and throws it. The dog sees the stick and runs after it. He leaves the ball behind.

+
+Tim says, "No, Liz, I don't want a shot. It hurts. I have a good lung. You are wrong."
+
+Liz says, "No, Tim, I am right. I am the nurse. I serve you. You have to listen to me."
+
+Tim says, "No, Liz, you are not fair. You always want to give me a shot. You never let me give you a shot. You are mean."
+
+Liz says, "Fine, Tim, you can give me a shot. But only if I can give you a shot first."
+
+Tim says, "OK, Liz, deal. But you have to be gentle. And you have to say sorry."
+
+Liz says, "OK, Tim, sorry. I am not mean. I am your friend. I just want you to be healthy."
+
+They hug and then they give each other a shot. They laugh and then they play some more. They are happy. They have fun. They are good friends.
+Tom and Anna are playing with snow in the park. They make a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They are very happy with their snowman.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so big and nice!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, he is! Let's take a print of him with your camera!" Anna says.
+
+Tom takes out his camera and snaps a picture of the snowman. He shows it to Anna. They see the snowman smiling on the screen.
+
+"Wow, what a good print! Can we keep it?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sure, we can. But we have to go home soon. It is getting dark and cold." Tom says.
+
+They say goodbye to their snowman and start to walk home. They hold the camera and the print in their hands.
+
+On the way home, they see that the snow is starting to melt. The snowflakes turn into water drops. The snowman's hat and scarf fall off. His carrot nose slides down. His smile fades away.
+
+"Oh no, our snowman is melting!" Anna cries.
+
+"Don't be sad, Anna. We still have the print of him. He will always be with us in the print." Tom says.
+
+He gives Anna a hug and shows her the print. They see the snowman smiling on the screen.
+
+"Yes, you are right, Tom. He will always be with us in the print. And maybe we can make another snowman tomorrow." Anna says.
+
+They smile and run home. They put the print on the fridge and look at it. They are very happy with their print.
+Sara was a gifted girl. She could read and write and draw very well. She loved to learn new things and share them with her friends. One day, she got a big orange envelope in the mail. It had her name on it and a sticker of a star. She wondered what was inside.
+
+She ran to her mom and showed her the envelope. "Mom, look what I got! Can I open it?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. It's from your aunt Lily. She lives very far away and she misses you a lot. She sent you something special for your birthday," her mom said.
+
+Sara smiled and tore the envelope open. Inside, there was a book with colorful pictures and words. It was a book about animals from different places. Sara loved animals. She opened the book and saw a lion, a penguin, a panda, and many more. She was so happy.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing! Thank you, aunt Lily!" she said out loud. She hugged the book and ran to her room. She wanted to read it right away and learn about the animals. She opened the first page and saw a picture of a monkey. She read the words below: "Monkeys are gifted animals. They can use their hands and feet to climb and swing. They can also make sounds and gestures to communicate. They are very smart and curious."
+
+Sara felt a connection with the monkey. She was also gifted and curious. She wanted to communicate with the monkey and learn from it.

+Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play soccer. They wanted to win a trophy for their team. They practiced every day with their coach and their teammates.
+
+One day, they had a big game against another team. Lily and Sam played very hard and scored many goals. They were happy and proud of themselves. The other team was sad and angry.
+
+At the end of the game, the coach gave Lily and Sam a trophy. It was shiny and gold and had a soccer ball on top. Lily and Sam smiled and hugged each other. They thanked their coach and their teammates.
+
+They took the trophy home and showed it to their parents. Their parents were happy and proud of them too. They said they did a good job and they loved them.
+
+Lily and Sam put the trophy on a shelf in their room. They looked at it every day and remembered their game. They wanted to keep it shiny and clean.
+
+But one day, they noticed that the trophy was dull and dusty. It did not look shiny and gold anymore. It looked old and boring. Lily and Sam were sad and confused.
+
+They asked their parents why the trophy was dull. Their parents said that things get dull when they are not used or cared for. They said that the trophy was not important by itself. It was important because it reminded them of their hard work and their fun.
+
+Lily and Sam understood. They decided to play soccer again with their friends. They did not need the trophy to be happy. They had each other and their love for the game. They left the trophy on the shelf and went outside. They had a lot of fun.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big fly. It is black and shiny. It buzzes near a flower.
+
+"Look, a fly!" Anna says. "I want to catch it."
+
+"No, Anna, flies are dirty. They make you sick. Leave it alone," Ben says.
+
+But Anna does not listen. She runs after the fly. She tries to grab it with her hand. The fly is fast. It flies away.
+
+"Come back, fly! I promise I will be nice to you. I will give you sugar and water. I will make you a clean home," Anna says.
+
+She follows the fly to the street. She does not see the car. The car is big and loud. It comes very fast. It does not stop.
+
+"Anna, watch out!" Ben shouts.
+
+But it is too late. The car hits Anna. She falls down. She does not move. She does not talk. She does not breathe.
+
+The fly flies away. It does not care. It does not know.
+
+Ben cries. He is sad. He is scared. He runs to Anna. He calls for help.
+
+But no one can help Anna. She is gone. She broke her promise. She did not listen. She did not stay safe. She chased a dirty fly.
+Ben and Mia liked to play in the woods. They liked to find new things and have fun. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. It was a cave. They wanted to go inside and see what was there.
+
+"Let's go, let's go!" Mia said. She was impatient. She ran to the cave and looked inside. It was dark and cold. She heard a noise. It sounded like a growl.
+
+"Wait, Mia, wait!" Ben said. He was scared. He did not want to go inside. He thought there might be something bad in the cave. He wanted to go back home.
+
+But Mia did not listen. She wanted to see more. She took a step into the cave. Then she saw two big eyes and a big mouth. It was a bear. The bear was angry. It roared and ran to Mia.
+
+"Help, help!" Mia screamed. She tried to run away, but it was too late. The bear caught her and bit her. She cried and cried.
+
+Ben heard Mia scream. He was very sad and very sorry. He wished he had stopped Mia. He wished they had never gone to the cave. He ran away as fast as he could. He hoped the bear would not follow him.
+
+He got home and told his mom what happened. His mom was very sad and very angry. She called the police and the doctor. They went to the cave to find Mia. But they were too late. Mia was gone. The bear had eaten her.
+
+Ben and his mom cried and cried. They missed Mia very much. They wished they could see her again. They wished they could applaud her for being brave and smart. But they could not. Mia was gone forever. The end.
+Anna was sick. She had a sore throat and a runny nose. She did not want to play or eat. She only wanted to lie in bed and cuddle her teddy bear.
+
+Her mom came in with a spoon and a bottle. "Anna, you need to take some medicine. It will make you feel better," she said.
+
+Anna shook her head. She did not like medicine. It was yucky and bitter. She hid under the blanket and said, "No, no, no!"
+
+Her mom sighed. She pulled the blanket away and said, "Please, Anna, it's only a little bit. If you don't take it, you will stay sick for a long time."
+
+Anna pouted. She looked at the bottle. It was red and had a picture of a cherry on it. Maybe it was not so bad. She opened her mouth and let her mom put the spoon in. She tasted the medicine. It was yucky and bitter. She made a face and spit it out. Some of it splashed on the bottle and the bed.
+
+"Anna, why did you do that?" her mom asked. She was not happy. She tried to wipe the medicine off, but it was sticky and stained. She looked at the bottle. It was broken. There was a crack on the side and some medicine was leaking out.
+
+Anna felt bad. She did not mean to break the bottle. She did not mean to make a mess. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I don't like medicine. It's yucky and bitter."
+
+Her mom hugged her. She said, "I know, Anna, but sometimes we have to do things we don't like to get well. How about we try another medicine? I have one that is sweet and orange. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Anna nodded. She wanted to make her mom happy. She wanted to get well. She said, "OK, mom. I will try it. But can you shut the door? I don't want the germs to come in."
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "Of course, Anna. I will shut the door. And I will read you a story after you take the medicine. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna smiled too. She said, "That sounds good, mom. I love you."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Anna. You are a brave girl." She gave her the spoon and the new bottle. Anna took the medicine. It was sweet and orange. It was not so bad. She swallowed it and said, "Thank you, mom."
+
+Her mom said, "You're welcome, Anna. Now, let's read a story." She picked up a book and sat on the bed. She shut the door and opened the book. She began to read. Anna listened and cuddled her teddy bear. She felt a little better. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with balls. They have red balls, blue balls, and yellow balls. They can throw the balls, catch the balls, and roll the balls.
+
+One day, they find a big circle in the park. It is shiny and silver. It looks like a big ball, but it is not. It is a hoop. Tom and Mia want to play with the hoop. They take turns to roll the hoop on the grass. The hoop is fast. It goes far and far.
+
+But then, a dog comes. The dog likes the hoop too. The dog runs after the hoop. The dog is faster than the hoop. The dog catches the hoop with its mouth. The dog runs away with the hoop.
+
+Tom and Mia are sad. They want the hoop back. They run after the dog. But the dog is too fast. They cannot catch the dog. They lose the hoop.
+
+They sit on the grass and cry. They wish they had not taken the hoop. They wish they had played with their balls. They miss their balls.
+
+A lady comes. She sees Tom and Mia. She asks them what is wrong. They tell her about the hoop and the dog. The lady is kind. She says she has a hoop too. She says she will give them her hoop. She says they can play with her hoop, but they have to share it. She says sharing is good.
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They thank the lady. They take her hoop. They play with her hoop. They share it. They laugh. They have fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is good. Do not take things that are not yours. Play with what you have.
+Lily and Sam were twins who loved animals. One day, they went to the zoo with their mom and dad. They saw many different animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. But their favorite animal was the panda.
+
+The panda was big and black and white. He had a round belly and a cute face. He was eating bamboo and playing with a ball. Lily and Sam gazed at him with wonder. They wanted to hug him and be his friend.
+
+"Mom, can we go closer to the panda?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, but we have to be quiet and gentle. Pandas are shy and need space," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Sam nodded and followed Mom to the fence. They saw a sign that said, "Please do not feed or touch the panda. He is a compassionate animal who cares for his family and friends."
+
+Lily and Sam smiled. They liked that the panda was compassionate. They felt compassionate too. They waved at the panda and whispered, "Hello, panda. We love you. You are beautiful and kind."
+
+The panda looked at them and tilted his head. He seemed curious and friendly. He rolled his ball towards them and made a soft noise. Lily and Sam giggled. They felt happy and grateful. They thanked the panda and said goodbye.
+
+They left the zoo with their mom and dad. They talked about the panda and all the other animals. They agreed that the panda was their favorite. They hoped to see him again soon. They gazed at the sky and saw a cloud that looked like a panda. They pointed and smiled. They felt a warm feeling in their hearts. They knew the panda felt it too.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big truck with a picture of a rhinoceros on it. They wanted to see the rhinoceros.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe we can touch it!"
+
+They ran to the truck, but the door was closed. They heard a loud noise inside. It sounded like a roar.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked. She felt scared.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it's the rhinoceros. Maybe it's angry."
+
+They tried to look through the window, but it was too high. They found a box and climbed on it. They saw a big gray animal with a horn on its nose. It was the rhinoceros. It looked at them with big eyes.
+
+"Wow, it's so big!" Ben said. He wanted to touch it.
+
+"Be careful, Ben!" Lily said. She wanted to go away.
+
+Ben reached out his hand, but the rhinoceros moved. It hit the box with its horn. The box fell and Ben stumbled. He hurt his knee.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. He was scared and sad.
+
+Lily ran to him and hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm here. Don't cry."
+
+The truck driver heard the noise and came out. He saw the children and the rhinoceros. He said, "Hey, what are you doing here? This is not a toy. This is a real rhinoceros. It can be dangerous."
+
+He helped Ben get up and gave him a band-aid. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm taking the rhinoceros to the zoo. Do you want to come with me and see more animals?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, please. Thank you."
+
+They got in the truck and waved goodbye to the park. They learned a new word: rhinoceros. They also learned to be careful and not touch things that are scary.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" Lily says. She puts on her vest. It is pink and has flowers on it. She thinks it is pretty.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. It looks hard. What if I fall?" Ben says. He has a blue vest. It has cars on it. He thinks it is cool.
+
+"Don't be silly, Ben. You won't fall. You have your vest. It will keep you warm and safe. Just hold my hand and we will go together." Lily says. She takes Ben's hand and they walk to the slide.
+
+They climb up the steps. Lily is excited. Ben is nervous. They reach the top. Lily smiles. Ben gulps.
+
+"Ready, Ben?" Lily asks.
+
+"Ready, Lily." Ben says.
+
+They sit on the slide. They push off. They go down fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh. They have fun.
+
+They reach the bottom. They stand up. They hug.
+
+"That was awesome, Lily!" Ben says.
+
+"I told you, Ben. It was not hard. It was easy. And we had our vests. They helped us." Lily says.
+
+They look at their vests. They are dirty and torn. They have holes and scratches. They gasp.
+
+"Oh no, Lily! Our vests are ruined!" Ben says.
+
+"Oh no, Ben! Mom will be mad!" Lily says.
+
+They look at each other. They think of a plan. They run to the swings. They hope Mom won't notice.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to make a house with the box.
+
+They use tape to stick the box to the wall. They cut a door and a window with scissors. They dress the box with paper and paint. They make a roof with a blanket. They are happy with their house.
+
+They go inside the house and pretend to be a family. Tom is the dad and Mia is the mom. They talk and laugh.
+
+"Hello, dad. How was your day?" Mia says.
+
+"Hello, mom. My day was good. I worked hard and made money." Tom says.
+
+They hear a noise outside. It is Tom's little brother, Sam. He wants to play with them. He knocks on the door.
+
+"Who is it?" Tom says.
+
+"It's me, Sam. Can I play with you?" Sam says.
+
+"No, you can't. This is our house. You are too small. Go away." Tom says.
+
+He shuts the door. Sam is sad. He cries.
+
+Mia hears Sam crying. She feels sorry for him. She says to Tom.
+
+"Tom, that is not nice. Sam is your brother. He just wants to play with us. We should share our house with him. Sharing is good."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He remembers that Sam sometimes shares his toys with him. He feels bad for being mean to Sam. He says to Mia.
+
+"You are right, Mia. Sharing is good. I was wrong. Let's invite Sam to play with us. He can be our baby."
+
+They open the door and call Sam. Sam stops crying. He is happy. He joins them in the house. They play together and have fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is good. We should be kind to our siblings and friends.
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, Ben has a new car. It is red and shiny. Ben invites Sam to come and see his new car.

+
+Sam is happy. He likes Ben's new car. He says, "Yes, Ben, I want to play with you. Your new car is very nice. Can I try it?"
+
+Ben nods. He gives Sam his new car. Sam holds it in his hands. He makes it zoom and beep. He smiles.
+
+Ben and Sam decide to have a race. They put their cars on the floor. They count to three. They push their cars. The cars go very fast. They race to the end of the room.
+
+"Who will win?" Ben says.
+
+"I will win!" Sam says.
+
+They watch their cars. Sam's car is ahead. It is almost at the end. Ben's car is behind. It is not as fast.
+
+Sam cheers. He says, "I win! I win! My car is the best!"
+
+Ben is angry. He does not like to lose. He says, "No, you don't win! You cheat! You push your car too hard!"
+
+Sam is angry too. He says, "No, I don't cheat! You are a sore loser! You are a bad friend!"
+
+Ben and Sam start to fight. They yell and push each other. They forget about their cars. They are not friends anymore.
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to the room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, Ben and Sam! What are you doing? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Ben and Sam stop. They look at Mom. They are ashamed. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were racing with our cars. Sam won. I was angry. We fought."

+The toy truck didn't want to play with the robot, but the robot was mean and didn't care. He took the toy truck away from the toy car and they played together all day long. The toy car felt left out and alone.
+
+One day, the robot decided to take the toy truck apart to see how it worked. He separated all the pieces and the toy truck was never able to be put back together again. The toy car was sad and missed his friend. The end.
+Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play with his toy cars and trucks. One day, Timmy's mom brought him a new toy truck made of shiny metal. Timmy was so happy and played with it all day.
+
+Later that day, Timmy's friend Billy came over to play. Billy saw Timmy's new toy truck and wanted to play with it too. Timmy said no, but Billy took the truck anyways. Timmy got upset and they started to argue.
+
+Timmy's mom came to see what was happening and told Billy to give the truck back. Billy didn't want to, so Timmy's mom had to take it away from him. Timmy was sad that he couldn't play with his new toy truck anymore.
+
+The next day, Timmy's mom tried to give the toy truck back to Timmy, but it was wrapped in a big box. When they opened it, the toy truck was all bent and broken. Timmy's mom said, "I'm sorry, Timmy. The metal truck got damaged in the mail." Timmy was sad and wished everything could go back to normal.
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big radish in the ground. They want to eat it.
+
+"Let's pull it out!" Ben says.
+
+"OK!" Sam says.
+
+They pull and pull, but the radish is too strong. They cannot pull it out.
+
+"Let's improve our plan!" Ben says.
+
+"How?" Sam says.
+
+"Let's dig around it!" Ben says.
+
+They find a shovel and a bucket. They dig and dig, but the radish is still too strong. They make a big hole.
+
+"Let's try again!" Ben says.
+
+"OK!" Sam says.
+
+They pull and pull, but the radish does not move. They fall into the hole.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben says.
+
+"Oh no!" Sam says.
+
+They are stuck in the hole. They are dirty and hungry. They cannot eat the radish. They cannot get out.
+
+They cry and cry, but no one hears them. The radish is clean and happy. It laughs and laughs. The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. The sun was warm and the sky was blue. They were happy.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. Boom! Boom! Boom! It was thunder. Lily and Tom looked up and saw dark clouds. They were scared.
+
+"Tom, what is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"It is thunder, Lily. It is a big sound that comes from the sky. Sometimes it comes with rain and lightning." Tom said.
+
+"Rain and lightning? What are they?" Lily asked.
+
+"Rain is water that falls from the sky. Lightning is a bright flash that makes the thunder. They can be fun, but they can also be dangerous." Tom said.
+
+Lily and Tom saw raindrops falling on the grass. They saw lightning flashing in the clouds. They heard more thunder. Boom! Boom! Boom! They were very scared.
+
+"Tom, I don't like this. I want to go inside." Lily said.
+
+"Me too, Lily. Let's go inside. Mom will be there. She will make us feel safe." Tom said.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the house. They opened the door and saw Mom. She was pale. She looked worried.
+
+"Mom, what is wrong?" Lily asked.
+
+"Mom, are you okay?" Tom asked.
+
+Mom hugged them and smiled.
+
+"I'm okay, my loves. I was just worried about you. I'm glad you are safe. Come, let's go to the living room. We can watch a movie and have some cookies. The thunder will go away soon." Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They followed Mom to the living room. They sat on the couch and snuggled with her. They watched a movie and ate some cookies. They felt warm and cozy. They were not scared anymore. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with their toys and sing songs. Today, they are going to the farm with their mom and dad. They are very happy.
+
+"Look, Anna, there are sheep!" Ben says. He points to the white animals in the field. "They have wool on them. Wool is soft and warm."
+
+"Can we touch the wool?" Anna asks. She wants to feel the sheep.
+
+"Maybe. Let's ask mom and dad," Ben says. They run to their parents, who are talking to the farmer.
+
+"Mom, dad, can we touch the sheep?" Anna and Ben say together.
+
+"Sure, but be gentle and careful," mom says. "The farmer said we can feed them some hay, too."
+
+"Yay!" Anna and Ben say. They follow the farmer to the fence, where he gives them some hay. They hold out their hands and the sheep come closer. They feel the wool. It is soft and warm, just like Ben said.
+
+"Hello, sheep," Anna says. She strokes one of them. "You are so nice."
+
+"Baa," the sheep says. It eats the hay from her hand.
+
+"Can you sing, sheep?" Ben asks. He likes to sing. He sings a song he learned at school. "Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?"
+
+The sheep look at him. They do not sing. They just say "baa".
+
+Anna laughs. She joins Ben in singing. "Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full."
+
+Mom and dad smile. They are proud of their children. They sing with them, too. "One for the master, one for the dame, and one for the little boy who lives down the lane."
+
+The farmer claps his hands. He likes their singing. He says, "You are very good singers. You are ready for the show."
+
+"What show?" Anna and Ben ask.
+
+"The show at the barn. There are more animals there. And they can sing, too. Do you want to see them?" the farmer asks.
+
+"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben say. They are curious and excited.
+
+"OK, then. Follow me," the farmer says. He leads them to the barn, where they see cows, pigs, horses, ducks, and chickens. They all have something to say. And they all can sing.
+Ben and Lily wanted to see the fireworks in the sky. They heard loud booms and saw bright colors from their window. They put on their coats and shoes and ran outside.
+
+"Where are the fireworks?" Ben asked. He looked up and down the street, but he saw nothing.
+
+"Maybe they are over there," Lily said. She pointed to a big hill. "Let's go and search for them."
+
+They held hands and walked to the hill. It was dark and cold, but they were not afraid. They had each other. They were dependable.
+
+When they reached the top of the hill, they saw the fireworks. They were beautiful. They sparkled and danced in the sky. They made shapes like stars and flowers and hearts.
+
+"Wow!" Ben and Lily said. They clapped and cheered. They hugged and smiled.
+
+They watched the fireworks until they stopped. Then they walked back home. They were happy. They had seen the fireworks. They had searched and found them. They had depended on each other.
+Lily loved to play with her toy reindeer. She named him Rudy and pretended he could fly. She took him everywhere, even to bed. But her big brother Max did not like Rudy. He said reindeer were silly and boring. He liked to play with his cars and robots.
+
+One day, Max decided to take Rudy away from Lily. He grabbed him from her hands and ran to his room. Lily cried and followed him. She knocked on his door and said, "Give me back Rudy! He is mine!" Max laughed and said, "No, he is mine now. I will make him into a car or a robot. Reindeer are no fun."
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She wanted to get Rudy back, but she did not know how. She thought of a plan. She waited until Max was busy with his toys. Then she sneaked into his room and looked for Rudy. She saw him on the shelf, next to a car and a robot. Max had put stickers and wires on him. He did not look like a reindeer anymore.
+
+Lily felt a tear roll down her cheek. She reached for Rudy and pulled him off the shelf. But she was not careful. She knocked down the car and the robot. They fell to the floor and made a loud noise. Max heard the noise and turned around. He saw Lily holding Rudy. He was very mad. He yelled, "Hey, what are you doing? That is my reindeer! Give him back!"
+
+Lily ran out of the room with Rudy. She did not want to give him back. She wanted to quit playing with Max. He was mean and rude. She ran to her room and locked the door. She hugged Rudy and tried to take off the stickers and wires. She said, "I'm sorry, Rudy. I will make you better. You are still my reindeer. You can still fly."
+
+Max banged on the door and said, "Open up, Lily! Give me back my reindeer! He is not yours!" Lily did not answer. She did not want to talk to Max. She wanted to be alone with Rudy. She wanted to be peaceful. She hoped Max would go away and leave them alone. She hoped he would learn to be nice and share. She hoped he would love reindeer as much as she did.
+Sam and Mia liked to swim in the lake near their house. They wore their swimsuits and jumped into the water. They splashed and played and had fun.
+
+One day, they saw a big animal on the shore. It had a long nose and a hard skin. It was a rhinoceros. Sam and Mia were curious and scared. They swam closer to see it.
+
+"Hello, rhinoceros," Sam said. "What are you doing here?"
+
+The rhinoceros looked at them and snorted. "I am lost," it said. "I came from far away. I am looking for my home."
+
+Sam and Mia felt sorry for the rhinoceros. It looked gloomy and lonely. They wanted to help it.
+
+"Where is your home?" Mia asked. "Maybe we can show you the way."
+
+The rhinoceros shook its head. "I don't know," it said. "I only remember it was green and warm and full of other rhinoceroses."
+
+Sam and Mia thought hard. They remembered a place like that. It was the zoo. They had been there with their mom and dad. They had seen many animals there, including rhinoceroses.
+
+"Maybe your home is the zoo," Sam said. "We can take you there. It is not far from here. We can swim and walk and find it."
+
+The rhinoceros smiled. "Thank you, Sam and Mia," it said. "You are very kind and brave. Will you be my friends?"
+
+Sam and Mia nodded. "Yes, we will be your friends," they said. "Come on, let's go to the zoo."
+
+They held the rhinoceros's nose and swam with it to the other side of the lake. Then they walked with it to the zoo. They found the gate and called for the zookeeper. They told him about the rhinoceros and how they met it.
+
+The zookeeper was surprised and happy. He thanked Sam and Mia for bringing the rhinoceros. He said it had escaped from a truck that was taking it to another zoo. He said he would take it back to its home.
+
+Sam and Mia hugged the rhinoceros and said goodbye. They promised to visit it soon. The rhinoceros thanked them again and said it would miss them. It said it was glad to have met them.
+
+Sam and Mia waved and smiled. They were proud and happy. They had helped the rhinoceros and made a new friend. They went back to the lake and swam some more. They had a great day.
+Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play games. One day, they play hide and seek. Tom is the seeker. He counts to ten. Then he says, "Ready or not, here I come!"
+
+He looks for Anna in the bedroom. He does not find her. He looks for Anna in the kitchen. He does not find her. He looks for Anna in the living room. He does not find her. He thinks, "Where is Anna?"
+
+He hears a noise in the bathroom. He runs to the bathroom. He sees the shower. He thinks, "Maybe Anna is hiding in the shower." He opens the shower curtain. He sees a fake snake. He screams, "Aaaah!"
+
+Anna jumps out from behind the door. She laughs, "I got you, Tom! You are scared of the fake snake!" She holds the fake snake in her hand. She says, "This is my toy. I put it in the shower to trick you."
+
+Tom is not happy. He says, "That is not fair, Anna! That is not a good hiding place. That is a bad joke. You are mean." He throws the fake snake on the floor. He runs out of the bathroom.
+
+Anna feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I did not mean to make you sad. I just wanted to have fun. Please don't be mad at me." She picks up the fake snake. She follows Tom. She says, "Can we play another game? Can we be friends again?"
+Lisa loves strawberries. She likes to eat them with milk and sugar. She likes to pick them from the garden. She likes to smell them and feel them.
+
+One day, Lisa sees a big basket of strawberries on the table. She wants to eat them all. She does not want to share with her brother Tom. She takes the basket and runs to her room.
+
+Tom sees Lisa and follows her. He knocks on her door and says, "Lisa, can I have some strawberries, please? I like them too."
+
+Lisa says, "No, Tom, these are mine. Go away!"
+
+Tom says, "That is not nice, Lisa. We should share. Mom and Dad taught us to share."
+
+Lisa says, "I don't care. I want them all. You can't have any."
+
+Tom says, "Please, Lisa, just one. I am hungry."
+
+Lisa says, "No, no, no!" She gets angry and throws a strawberry at Tom. The strawberry hits Tom in the eye. It hurts. Tom cries.
+
+Lisa feels bad. She sees Tom crying. She sees the strawberry on the floor. She sees the juice on Tom's face. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was selfish. I should have shared with you. Are you okay?"
+
+Tom says, "It's okay, Lisa. I forgive you. But don't throw strawberries. They are for eating, not for throwing."
+
+Lisa says, "You are right, Tom. They are for eating. And they are better when we eat them together. Do you want some?"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, please. Thank you, Lisa."
+
+Lisa and Tom hug. They take the basket and go to the kitchen. They wash the strawberries and put them in a bowl. They add some milk and sugar. They sit on the couch and eat the strawberries. They are delicious. They are happy. They are comfortable.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Don't be selfish. Don't throw food. Be kind to your brother. Enjoy the strawberries.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big thing in the park. It is red and shiny and has four wheels. It looks like a car, but it is too small for grown-ups.
+
+"Wow, look at this thing!" Tom says. "Can we play with it?"
+
+"Sure, let's try!" Lily says. They run to the thing and take turns to sit inside. They pretend to drive and honk the horn. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, another boy comes to the park. He sees the thing and wants to play too. He walks to Tom and Lily and says, "Hey, that's my thing! Give it back!"
+
+Tom and Lily are surprised. They did not know the thing belongs to someone else. They look at the boy and say, "Sorry, we did not know. We just found it here. It is a nice thing. Can we share it with you?"
+
+The boy thinks for a moment. He likes his thing, but he also likes to make new friends. He says, "Okay, we can share it. But only if you let me go first. I want to show you how high I can jump with it."
+
+Tom and Lily agree. They watch as the boy pushes the thing and jumps over a small hill. He lands with a thud and a smile. He says, "Did you see that? That was high!"
+
+Tom and Lily clap and cheer. They say, "That was high! That was cool! Can we try too?"
+
+The boy nods and says, "Sure, you can try. But be careful. It is not easy to jump high with this thing."
+
+Tom and Lily take turns to jump with the thing. They have fun and laugh. They share the thing and play together. They become friends with the boy. They learn that sharing is good.
+Anna was a shy girl who did not like to speak to strangers. She had long hair that covered her eyes and ears. Her mom said she needed a haircut, but Anna was scared of the barber. She did not want him to touch her hair or talk to her.
+
+One day, mom took Anna to the barber shop. Anna clung to mom's hand and hid behind her. The barber smiled and said hello, but Anna did not answer. He asked her what kind of haircut she wanted, but Anna did not say anything. He tried to make her laugh with jokes and stories, but Anna did not smile. She just looked down and frowned.
+
+The barber was patient and gentle. He said he would cut her hair very slowly and carefully, and he would not hurt her. He said he would show her how pretty she would look with shorter hair. He said he was a friend, not a stranger. He said he liked to speak to nice girls like Anna.
+
+Anna listened to the barber's words. She felt a little less scared. She looked up and saw his kind eyes and friendly face. She saw he had a big scissors and a comb, but he did not use them to hurt her. He used them to make her hair neat and tidy. He showed her a mirror and said, "Look, Anna, you are beautiful!"
+
+Anna saw herself in the mirror. She saw her hair was shorter, but it was still soft and shiny. She saw her eyes and ears were not covered anymore. She saw she looked happy and brave. She smiled and said, "Thank you, barber, you are nice!"
+
+The barber was happy to hear Anna speak. He said, "You are welcome, Anna, you are smart!" He gave her a sticker and a candy. He said, "I hope to see you again, Anna, you are a good friend!"
+
+Anna hugged the barber and said, "I hope to see you again, too, barber, you are a good friend!" She took the sticker and the candy and ran to mom. She showed mom her haircut and said, "Look, mom, I am beautiful!"
+
+Mom hugged Anna and said, "Yes, Anna, you are beautiful! And you are brave and kind, too! I am proud of you, Anna, you spoke to the barber!"
+
+Anna was happy and proud, too. She learned that speaking to strangers was not so scary, if they were nice and friendly. She learned that getting a haircut was not so bad, if it made her look pretty and neat. She learned that being shy was not so good, if it made her miss out on fun and friends. She learned that speaking was a good thing, if it made her and others happy.
+Lila and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the snow. One day, they saw a big white house made of snow. It was an igloo.
+
+"Let's visit the igloo!" Lila said. "Maybe someone lives there."
+
+"OK, but be careful," Sam said. "We don't know who is inside."
+
+They walked to the igloo. They saw a small hole. It was the door. The door was open.
+
+"Hello?" Lila called. "Can we come in?"
+
+There was no answer. Lila and Sam looked at each other. They were curious. They crawled inside the igloo.
+
+They saw a lot of things. There were blankets, pots, toys, and books. There was also a big furry coat. It looked warm and cozy.
+
+"Wow, this is a nice igloo," Lila said. "Who do you think lives here?"
+
+"I don't know," Sam said. "Maybe a snowman."
+
+They heard a loud roar. They turned around. They saw a big bear. It was wearing the furry coat. It was not happy. It was angry.
+
+"Run!" Sam shouted. "It's a bear!"
+
+Lila and Sam ran out of the igloo. They ran back to their home. They were scared. They learned a lesson. They never visited the igloo again.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys, but they did not like to share. One day, they found a big sack in the garage. It was full of old clothes and books.
+
+"Let's play with the sack!" Tom said. "We can hide in it and scare Mom!"
+
+"OK!" Sam said. "But I want to go first!"
+
+They took the sack to their room and emptied it on the floor. Sam climbed inside the sack and zipped it up. Tom hid the sack under the bed.
+
+"Mom!" Tom shouted. "Come and see what I found!"
+
+Mom came to their room. She saw the mess on the floor and frowned.
+
+"What is this?" she asked. "Did you make this mess?"
+
+Tom pointed to the bed. "No, Mom, look under the bed! There is something for you!"
+
+Mom bent down and looked under the bed. She saw the sack and pulled it out. She felt something moving inside.
+
+"What is this?" she asked again. "Is there something alive in here?"
+
+She opened the sack and saw Sam's face. He smiled and said, "Boo!"
+
+Mom was not amused. She was angry. She said, "That's not funny, Sam. That's rude. You scared me. And you made a mess with the sack. You and Tom need to clean up this mess and put the sack back in the garage. And you are both punished. No TV for a week."
+
+Tom and Sam were sad. They did not like to be punished. They wished they had not played with the sack. They learned their lesson. They decided to be more regular and share their toys.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find bugs and worms. They saw a big pile of leaves and sticks. They ran to it and started to move them.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a strip of cloth!" Tom said. He held up a dirty and torn piece of fabric. "Maybe it was part of a dress or a shirt."
+
+"Let me see!" Lily said. She grabbed the strip and looked at it. "It has spots and holes. It is old and rot. It smells bad. Yuck!" She threw it away.
+
+They dug some more and found a chubby doll. It had a plastic head and a soft body. It had no hair and no eyes. It had a big smile.
+
+"Wow, a doll!" Lily said. She picked it up and hugged it. "She is so cute. I will call her Molly."
+
+"Are you sure?" Tom said. He wrinkled his nose. "She is not cute. She is creepy. She is old and rot too. She has no eyes. How can she see?"
+
+"I don't care. She is my friend. She can see with her heart." Lily said. She kissed the doll's head. "I love you, Molly."
+
+Tom shrugged. He did not like the doll. He liked bugs and worms better. He dug some more and found a shiny coin. He smiled. He liked shiny things. He put it in his pocket.
+
+They played until their mom called them for lunch. They ran to the house. Lily took Molly with her. Tom left the strip of cloth in the pile. He did not want it. He wanted his coin. He was happy.
+Tom and Anna are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a big plastic truck that he likes to drive around. Anna has a small plastic doll that she likes to dress up. They are having fun, but they are not sharing.
+
+"Give me your doll!" Tom says to Anna. "I want to play with it!"
+
+"No!" Anna says to Tom. "It is mine! You have your truck!"
+
+Tom gets angry. He grabs Anna's doll and throws it on the floor. He drives his truck over it and destroys it. The doll breaks into pieces. Anna starts to cry.
+
+"Look what you did!" Anna says to Tom. "You hurt my doll! You are mean!"
+
+Tom feels bad. He sees that Anna is sad and that he was wrong. He says sorry to Anna and gives her his truck.
+
+"I am sorry, Anna," Tom says to Anna. "I should not have destroyed your doll. You can play with my truck. I will help you fix your doll."
+
+Anna stops crying. She says thank you to Tom and gives him a hug. They share their toys and play together nicely.
+
+The moral of the story is: You should not destroy other people's things. You should share and be kind.
+Lila and Ben like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They zoom and beep and have fun.
+
+One day, Lila has a new car. It is red and shiny and has a big horn. She loves her new car and does not want to share it. Ben wants to play with the new car too, but Lila says no. She says it is her car and only she can play with it.
+
+Ben is sad and angry. He thinks Lila is not friendly. He wants to make her share. He sees a big ball on the floor. He picks up the ball and throws it at Lila's new car. The ball strikes the car and makes a loud noise. The car falls off the bridge and breaks.
+
+Lila is shocked and upset. She cries and screams. She says Ben is mean and bad. She picks up her broken car and runs to her mom.
+
+Mom sees what happened and is not happy. She tells Ben and Lila to calm down and come to her. She says they need to talk and learn to share and be friendly. She says they can take turns playing with the cars and fix the broken one together. She says they are both sorry and hug each other. They say they are friends and go back to play with the cars.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to travel with their mom and dad. They go to many places and see many things. Today, they are going to a festival. A festival is a big party with music, games, and food.
+
+They get in the car and drive for a long time. They sing songs and play games on the way. They are very excited to see the festival. They ask their mom and dad many questions.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Lily asks.
+
+"Soon, sweetie, soon," mom says.
+
+"What can we do at the festival?" Ben asks.
+
+"You can dance, play, and eat, honey," dad says.
+
+They finally arrive at the festival. They see many people, colors, and sounds. They smell many delicious things. Delicious means very yummy. They follow their mom and dad to a big tent. There, they see a table with many kinds of food. They see pizza, cake, ice cream, popcorn, and more.
+
+"Wow, look at all the food!" Lily says.
+
+"Can we have some, please?" Ben says.
+
+"Of course, you can, but not too much, okay?" mom says.
+
+They each get a plate and choose what they want. They sit on a bench and enjoy their food. They think it is the most delicious food they ever had.
+
+"This is the best festival ever!" Lily says.
+
+"I agree!" Ben says.
+
+They finish their food and thank their mom and dad. Then, they go to explore the festival. They dance to the music, play with the balloons, and watch the clowns. They have a lot of fun. They are very happy. They love to travel with their mom and dad.
+Tom and Mia love to go to the zoo. They like to see the animals and hear their sounds. They also like to run and play in the park near the zoo.
+
+One day, they went to the zoo with their mom and dad. They saw the lions, the monkeys, the elephants, and the giraffes. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Then, they saw a sign that said "Cheetahs". Tom and Mia wanted to see the cheetahs. They knew that cheetahs are very fast. They can run faster than any other animal.
+
+They followed the sign and found the cheetahs. They were in a big cage with grass and trees. They looked like big cats, but with spots. They were lying down and resting.
+
+Tom and Mia were very curious. They wanted to see the cheetahs run. They asked their mom and dad if they could make the cheetahs run.
+
+Their mom and dad said no. They said that the cheetahs are not toys. They said that the cheetahs need to be left alone. They said that the cheetahs are wild animals and they can be dangerous.
+
+But Tom and Mia did not listen. They thought that their mom and dad were boring. They wanted to have some fun. They decided to sneak away from their mom and dad and go closer to the cage.
+
+They found a small hole in the fence. They crawled through the hole and entered the cage. They thought that they were very smart and brave.
+
+They saw the cheetahs sleeping. They thought that they could wake them up and make them run. They picked up some sticks and stones and threw them at the cheetahs.
+
+The cheetahs did not like that. They woke up and saw Tom and Mia. They were very angry and scared. They started to growl and hiss. They showed their teeth and claws.
+
+Tom and Mia realized that they made a big mistake. They were very afraid and sorry. They wanted to go back to their mom and dad. They wanted to get out of the cage.
+
+But the cheetahs were faster than them. They blocked the hole in the fence. They surrounded Tom and Mia. They looked like they were going to attack.
+
+Tom and Mia did not know what to do. They cried and screamed. They hoped that someone would help them.
+
+They heard their mom and dad calling their names. They heard the zookeepers running towards them. They heard the sirens of the police cars.
+
+The zookeepers came to the cage. They had guns and nets. They told Tom and Mia to stay calm and not to move. They told the cheetahs to back off and not to hurt the children.
+
+The cheetahs did not want to fight. They were also afraid and sorry. They wanted to go back to their sleeping place. They wanted to get out of the trouble.
+
+They decided to surrender. They moved away from Tom and Mia and the hole in the fence. They let the zookeepers catch them and put them in a safe place.
+
+The zookeepers then helped Tom and Mia out of the cage. They checked them for any injuries. They were lucky. They were not hurt.
+
+They gave them back to their mom and dad. They were very angry and worried. They hugged them and scolded them. They told them that they were very naughty and foolish. They told them that they could have been killed by the cheetahs. They told them that they should never do that again.
+
+Tom and Mia felt very ashamed and sorry. They apologized to their mom and dad, to the zookeepers, and to the cheetahs. They promised to never do that again. They learned their lesson.
+
+They left the zoo and went home. They were very quiet and sad. They knew that they had a lot of trouble waiting for them. They wished that they had listened to their mom and dad. They wished that they had not gone to the cheetahs. They wished that they had not been so fast.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Sometimes they found worms and beetles, and sometimes they found shiny stones and seeds.
+
+One day, they found something yellow and round in the dirt. It looked like a ball, but it was not smooth. It had little holes on the skin. Ben picked it up and smelled it. It smelled sour and strong.
+
+"What is this?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it is a lemon. Mama uses lemons to make juice and cake."
+
+Ben wanted to taste it. He bit into the yellow thing. He made a funny face and spit it out. It was very sour and bitter. It made his mouth hurt.
+
+"Yuck!" Ben said. "This is not a lemon. This is a bad ball. It is not good to eat."
+
+Lily laughed. She saw Ben's face and thought it was funny. She blinked her eyes and smiled.
+
+"Maybe it is a lemon, but it is not ripe," Lily said. "Mama says ripe lemons are sweet and juicy. Maybe we can give it to Mama and she can make it ripe."
+
+Ben nodded. He wiped his mouth with his hand. He did not like the bad ball. He wanted to play with something else.
+
+"Let's go to the swing," Ben said. "The swing is fun and comfortable. It makes me happy."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "The swing is fun and comfortable. It makes me happy too."
+
+They left the bad ball in the dirt and ran to the swing. They took turns pushing each other and flying in the air. They forgot about the bad ball and had a good time.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a trail in the woods behind their house. They wanted to see where it went, so they followed it.
+
+"Look, Tom, a bird!" Lily said, pointing to a blue jay on a branch. She tried to reach it, but it was too high. She stood on her toes and stretched her arms, but she could not touch it.
+
+"Be careful, Lily, you might fall!" Tom said. He was afraid of heights and did not like to climb. He stayed on the ground and watched his sister.
+
+Lily did not listen to Tom. She wanted to see the bird up close. She saw a big rock next to the tree. She thought she could use it to get higher. She jumped on the rock and grabbed the branch.
+
+But the branch was weak and broke. Lily fell off the rock and landed on the ground. She hurt her knee and started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she wailed. "Tom, help me!"
+
+Tom ran to Lily and hugged her. He saw blood on her knee and felt sorry for her.
+
+"Poor Lily, you are hurt!" he said. "Don't cry, I will get Mom. She will make it better."
+
+He helped Lily get up and walked with her back to the house. He told Mom what happened and she cleaned Lily's wound and put a band-aid on it.
+
+"Thank you, Tom, for being a good brother," Mom said. "And thank you, Lily, for being brave. Next time, be more careful when you follow a trail. You never know what you might find."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and hugged Mom. They learned their lesson and decided to play something safer. They went to their room and read a book about birds. They still liked birds, but they did not try to reach them anymore.
+Anna liked to draw. She had many colors and papers. She was gifted at making beautiful pictures. She wanted to show her pictures to her friend Lily.
+
+She went to Lily's house and knocked on the door. Lily opened the door and smiled. "Hi, Anna! Do you want to play?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. But first, can I show you my pictures?" Anna said. She held up her folder of drawings.
+
+"Wow, they are so pretty! Can I see them?" Lily said. She took the folder from Anna and opened it. She looked at the pictures and liked them a lot.
+
+"Can I borrow this one?" Lily asked. She pointed to a picture of a rainbow and a unicorn. "It is so magical. I want to hang it on my wall."
+
+Anna felt sad. She liked that picture a lot. It was her favorite. She had made it as a gift for her mom. She did not want to give it to Lily.
+
+"No, you can't. That is my picture. I made it for my mom. It is a gift. You can't borrow it," Anna said. She tried to take the picture back from Lily.
+
+But Lily did not let go. She held the picture tight. "But I like it so much. Please, let me borrow it. Just for a little while. I will give it back to you later," Lily said.
+
+They both pulled on the picture. They started to argue. They raised their voices. They did not hear Lily's mom coming.
+
+"What is going on here?" Lily's mom asked. She saw the girls fighting over the picture. She took the picture from them and looked at it. "This is a very nice picture. Who made it?" she asked.
+
+"I did," Anna said.
+
+"It is a gift for my mom," Anna said.
+
+Lily's mom nodded. She understood. She gave the picture back to Anna. "I'm sorry, Lily. You can't borrow this picture. It is Anna's gift for her mom. You have to respect that. Maybe Anna can make another picture for you someday," she said.
+
+Lily felt ashamed. She knew she was wrong. She apologized to Anna. "I'm sorry, Anna. I was selfish. Your picture is very beautiful. You are very gifted. I hope your mom likes it," she said.
+
+Anna smiled. She forgave Lily. She thanked Lily's mom. She hugged Lily. "It's okay, Lily. We are still friends. Maybe we can draw together sometime. I can share my colors and papers with you," she said.
+
+Lily nodded. She was happy. She thanked Anna. They went to play. They had fun. They learned to share. They were good friends.
+Lisa loved to dance. She danced in the morning, she danced in the afternoon, she danced at night. She danced with her dolls, she danced with her dog, she danced with her mom and dad. She was a happy girl who liked to move and sing.
+
+One day, Lisa saw a new image on the wall. It was a picture of a ballerina. She had a pink dress, a shiny crown, and shoes with ribbons. She looked very pretty and graceful. Lisa wanted to be like her. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I have a dress and a crown and shoes like her?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lisa. You can have anything you want. But you know what? You are already beautiful and special, just the way you are. You don't need to look like anyone else. You have your own style and charm. You are my chubby, cheerful, dancing star."
+
+Lisa hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love to dance." She put on her favorite dress, a colorful hat, and some socks. She didn't care if they matched or not. She grabbed her dog and said, "Come on, Spot. Let's dance." She twirled and jumped and laughed. She was happy to be herself. She was Lisa, the dancing star.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big slide that looked very fun. They ran to the slide and took turns going down. They laughed and shouted as they slid down.
+
+"Mom, look at me!" Anna said as she reached the bottom.
+
+"You are so fast, Anna!" Mom said.
+
+"Can I go again?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, Ben. But be careful, okay?" Mom said.
+
+Mom sat on a bench and watched them play. She had a wallet in her pocket. The wallet was ancient. It was very old and had many holes. Mom got the wallet from her grandma, who got it from her grandma, who got it from her grandma. The wallet had a picture of Mom's grandma inside. Mom loved the wallet very much.
+
+While Mom was watching Anna and Ben, a dog came to the bench. The dog was big and brown. The dog smelled the wallet in Mom's pocket. The dog liked the smell of the wallet. The dog wanted the wallet. The dog jumped on Mom and tried to get the wallet.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Mom said. She pushed the dog away.
+
+But the dog did not stop. The dog grabbed the wallet with its mouth and ran away.
+
+"Mom, what happened?" Anna and Ben asked. They saw the dog running with the wallet.
+
+"That dog took my wallet!" Mom said. She was very sad.
+
+"Let's chase the dog!" Anna said.
+
+"Let's get the wallet back!" Ben said.
+
+They ran after the dog. The dog was fast, but Anna and Ben were faster. They caught up with the dog and shouted.
+
+"Drop the wallet, dog!" Anna said.
+
+"Give it back, dog!" Ben said.
+
+The dog was scared. The dog dropped the wallet and ran away.
+
+Anna and Ben picked up the wallet and gave it to Mom.
+
+"Thank you, Anna and Ben!" Mom said. She hugged them.
+
+"You are welcome, Mom!" Anna and Ben said.
+
+They looked at the wallet. The wallet was dirty and torn. But the picture of Mom's grandma was still inside.
+
+"Mom, who is this?" Anna asked.
+
+"This is my grandma, and your great-grandma," Mom said.
+
+"She looks nice," Ben said.
+
+"She was very nice, and very brave," Mom said.
+
+"Like you, Mom," Anna said.
+
+"Like us, Anna," Ben said.
+
+They smiled and hugged Mom. They were happy. They went back to the slide and played some more. They had a lot of fun. The wallet was ancient, but it was also very special.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a big box. They want to make a house with the box.
+
+"Let's cut a door and a window," says Lily. She gets scissors and paper. She cuts a hole in the box for the door. She cuts a square in the box for the window. She glues paper on the window.
+
+"Let's make a roof," says Ben. He gets a blanket and a stick. He ties the blanket to the stick. He puts the stick on top of the box. He makes a roof.
+
+"Wow, our house is done," says Lily. She goes inside the box. She invites Ben to join her.
+
+They sit in the box and pretend to eat and sleep. They are happy. The sun is shining. The air is mild. They have fun in their house.
+Anna and Ben like to go to the park with Mom. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, dogs, and people. Anna and Ben like to play on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. Mom likes to sit on the bench and watch them.
+
+One day, they see a new thing in the park: a big yellow balloon. It is tied to a pole near the bench. Anna and Ben run to the balloon and touch it. It is soft and round and shiny. They think it is very pretty.
+
+Mom comes to the balloon and says, "Do you like the balloon, Anna and Ben?" They nod and smile. Mom says, "The balloon is a gift for you. You can take it home and play with it." Anna and Ben are very happy. They hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom! We love you and the balloon!"
+
+They untie the balloon from the pole and hold it together. They walk to the car with Mom. The balloon bounces in the air and makes a funny sound. Anna and Ben laugh and smile. They have a new friend: the big yellow balloon.
+Lila and Tom were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and castles and bridges. They were having fun and laughing.
+
+Suddenly, they felt the floor shake and heard a loud noise. The blocks fell down and some pictures on the wall moved. Lila and Tom were scared and hugged each other.
+
+"What is that?" Lila asked.
+
+"It is an earthquake," Tom said. He had learned that word from his dad, who was a scientist. "It means the ground is moving under us. Sometimes it happens when there are cracks in the earth."
+
+"Why are there cracks in the earth?" Lila wondered.
+
+Tom tried to explain, but he did not know much. He said, "I think it is because the earth is very old and has many parts. Sometimes the parts move and push each other. That makes the cracks and the shaking."
+
+Lila and Tom heard their mom calling them from the kitchen. They ran to her and she hugged them. She told them not to worry, the earthquake was over and they were safe. She said she was proud of them for being brave and calm.
+
+She also said, "You know, Tom, you are very smart and attractive. You did a good job explaining the earthquake to Lila. And Lila, you are very sweet and attractive. You did a good job listening to Tom and asking questions. You are both wonderful children and I love you very much."
+Anna and Ben are playing with their cars on the floor. They make noises and pretend to drive fast and slow. Anna likes the red car and Ben likes the blue car.
+
+But then, Anna's car stops moving. She tries to push it, but it does not go. She looks at the car and sees a wheel is broken. She is sad and says, "Oh no, my car is broken. I can't play anymore."
+
+Ben hears Anna and sees her car. He says, "Don't be sad, Anna. I can help you. I can repair your car. I have a tool box and some glue. Come with me."
+
+Ben takes Anna and her car to his room. He opens his tool box and finds a screwdriver and some glue. He says, "First, I need to take off the broken wheel. Then, I need to glue a new wheel on. It is easy, but I have to be slow and careful."
+
+Ben works on the car with his tools and glue. He takes off the broken wheel and puts on a new one. He waits for the glue to dry. He says, "There, I fixed it. Now your car can move again. Let's go back and play."
+
+Anna is happy and hugs Ben. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You are good at repairing things. Let's go back and play."
+
+They go back to the floor and play with their cars. They make noises and pretend to drive fast and slow. Anna likes the red car and Ben likes the blue car. They have fun.
+Lily likes to write. She has a big book and a red pen. She writes her name, her mom's name, and her cat's name. She draws flowers and stars and hearts. She is happy when she writes.
+
+One day, Lily sees an onion in the kitchen. She thinks it is cute. It is round and white and has a green top. She wants to write on it. She takes her red pen and writes "Lily" on the onion. She smiles and shows it to her mom.
+
+"Look, mom, I write on the onion!" Lily says.
+
+Mom sees the onion and laughs. She hugs Lily and says, "You are very clever, Lily, but onions are not for writing. Onions are for cooking. They make food tasty, but they also make you cry."
+
+Lily is curious. She asks, "Why do onions make you cry, mom?"
+
+Mom says, "Because they have a strong smell that hurts your eyes. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lily nods. Mom cuts the onion and Lily watches. She sees mom's eyes get wet and red. She smells the onion and feels a sting in her nose. She starts to cry too.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow, the onion hurts!" Lily says.
+
+Mom wipes her eyes and Lily's eyes. She says, "Don't worry, Lily, it will go away soon. Let's wash our hands and face and drink some water. Then we can make a soup with the onion and some carrots and potatoes. Do you like soup, Lily?"
+
+Lily nods. She says, "I like soup, mom, but I don't like onions. They are not cute. They are mean."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Maybe they are not cute, but they are good for you. They have vitamins and minerals that make you strong and healthy. And they are not mean, they are just different. Sometimes different things can surprise us, but we can learn from them and appreciate them. Do you understand, Lily?"
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She says, "I think I understand, mom. But can I write on something else next time?"
+
+Mom says, "Of course, Lily. You can write on anything you want, as long as it is not food. How about a paper, a card, or a sticker?"
+
+Lily says, "Yes, mom, I like that. Can I write on a sticker and put it on the cat?"
+
+Mom says, "Only if the cat lets you, Lily. And only if you write something nice, like 'I love you' or 'You are cute'."
+
+Lily says, "OK, mom, I will do that. I love you and you are cute too."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Lily. You are the cutest writer I know."
+Ben is a big boy. He likes to learn new things. He has many books with pictures and words. He can read some words by himself. He is very intelligent.
+
+One day, Ben goes to the zoo with his mom and dad. He sees many animals. He likes the lions, the monkeys, and the elephants. He wants to see more animals.
+
+He sees a big sign that says "Reptiles". He does not know what reptiles are. He asks his mom. She says reptiles are animals with scales and no fur. Some have legs and some have no legs. Some are friendly and some are not.
+
+Ben is curious. He follows his mom and dad to the reptile house. He sees snakes, lizards, turtles, and crocodiles. He thinks they are strange and interesting. He stares at them with his big eyes. He wants to touch them, but his mom says no.
+
+He sees a big glass tank with a green animal inside. It has a long body, a big head, and small eyes. It does not move. It looks like a log. Ben wonders what it is. He reads the sign. It says "Komodo dragon". He does not know what a dragon is. He asks his dad. He says a dragon is a very big lizard. It can bite and hurt people. It is very rare and special.
+
+Ben is amazed. He thinks a dragon is a cool animal. He stares at the dragon for a long time. He wants to learn more about it. He thinks he is very intelligent.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the forest. They saw many trees, birds and animals there. One day, they found a small pine tree that was different from the others. It had shiny things and colorful balls on its branches.
+
+"Wow, look at this tree!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and sparkly!"
+
+Tom nodded. "It is. I think someone put these things on it. Maybe it is a special tree."
+
+They went closer to the pine tree and touched the shiny things and the colorful balls. They felt smooth and cold. The pine tree smelled nice and fresh.
+
+"Can we take some of these things home?" Lily asked. "They are so adorable!"
+
+Tom shook his head. "No, we can't. They belong to the tree. If we take them, the tree will be sad and bare. We should leave them here."
+
+Lily frowned. "But I want to have them. They are so cute and fun!"
+
+Tom sighed. "Lily, you have to be nice and share. The tree is sharing its things with us. We can look at them and enjoy them, but we can't take them. That is not fair."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She knew Tom was right. She did not want to make the tree sad. She smiled and hugged Tom.
+
+"Okay, you are right. We will leave the things here. But can we come back and visit the tree again?"
+
+Tom nodded. "Of course we can. The tree will be happy to see us again. Maybe it will have more things next time."
+
+They said goodbye to the pine tree and thanked it for its beauty. They ran back to their home, holding hands. They had a wonderful day in the forest.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big beetle on a leaf. It was black and shiny, with long legs and horns.
+
+"Wow, look at that beetle!" Ben said. "It is so big and cool!"
+
+"Can I touch it?" Lily asked. She reached out her hand slowly.
+
+"Be careful, Lily. It might snap at you!" Ben warned. He had heard that some beetles could bite.
+
+Lily did not listen. She wanted to feel the beetle. She touched its back gently. The beetle did not like that. It felt Lily's hand and got scared. It snapped its jaws and made a loud click.
+
+"Ouch!" Lily cried. She pulled back her hand. The beetle had pinched her finger. It hurt a lot.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. He ran to her and hugged her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I should have listened to you," Lily said. She was sad and sorry. She looked at her finger. It was red and sore.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. The beetle was just alert. It thought you were a danger," Ben said. He tried to make her feel better.
+
+"Maybe we should leave the beetle alone. It needs its space," Lily said. She nodded.
+
+"Okay, let's go find some other bugs. Maybe some butterflies or ladybugs. They are nice and pretty," Ben said. He smiled.
+
+"Okay, let's go," Lily said. She smiled too.
+
+They left the beetle on the leaf. They went to look for other bugs. They were careful and gentle. They had fun in the garden.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a big truck. Sue has a doll. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, Tom has a surprise for Sue. He says, "Sue, I have something for you. Close your eyes and hold out your hands." Sue is curious. She does what Tom says. She feels something soft and furry in her hands. She opens her eyes and sees a teddy bear.
+
+"Wow, a teddy bear! Thank you, Tom!" Sue says. She hugs the bear and smiles. "He is so cute and cuddly. What is his name?"
+
+"His name is Silly," Tom says. "He is my old bear. I want you to have him. He likes to make funny faces and noises. He will make you laugh."
+
+Sue is very happy. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. I will take good care of Silly. He is my new friend. Do you want to play with him and my doll?"
+
+Tom nods. He says, "Yes, I do. Let's play. Silly can drive the truck and the doll can ride with him. They can go on an adventure."
+
+Tom and Sue play with Silly, the doll, and the truck. They have a lot of fun. They make Silly do silly things. They laugh and giggle. They are glad they own such nice toys and have such good friends.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to read books. She liked to learn new words and say them out loud. But sometimes she would struggle with a word that was too hard or too long. She would ask her mom or dad to help her, but they were busy with work or chores.
+
+One day, Lily found a book about a princess who danced with a prince. She opened the book and saw many pictures of the princess in a beautiful dress and the prince in a shiny suit. They looked very happy and graceful as they moved on the floor. Lily wanted to read the story, but she saw many words that she did not know. She tried to sound them out, but she got stuck and frustrated.
+
+She decided to ask her big brother, Max, who was playing with his toys in his room. She knocked on his door and said, "Max, can you help me read this book? There are many words that I don't know."
+
+Max looked at the book and saw that it was a fairy tale. He liked fairy tales, too, when he was younger. He smiled and said, "Sure, Lily, I can help you. Come, sit with me on the bed and we can read it together."
+
+Lily was happy and grateful. She sat next to Max and handed him the book. He opened it and started to read the story to her. He pointed to the words as he read them and explained what they meant. He also asked her to repeat some of the words after him. Lily listened and learned. She enjoyed the story and the sound of the words. She felt proud and confident as she said some of the words by herself.
+
+They finished the book and Lily hugged Max. She said, "Thank you, Max, for helping me read this book. You are a good brother and a good teacher. I learned many new words today."
+
+Max hugged her back and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a good sister and a good learner. I'm glad you liked the book. Maybe we can read another one tomorrow."
+
+They put the book back on the shelf and went to play with their toys. They had fun and laughed. They were happy and loving. They were a family.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. They want to swing on it.
+
+"Can I go first?" Anna asks.
+
+"OK, but not too long," Ben says.
+
+Anna runs to the swing. She sits on it. She holds the ropes. Ben pushes her. She goes up and down. She feels happy.
+
+"Wee!" Anna says.
+
+Ben waits for his turn. He watches Anna. He sees a puddle on the floor. It is dry. He has an idea.
+
+He runs to the puddle. He picks up some dirt. He makes a ball. He throws it at Anna.
+
+"Hey!" Anna says. She feels something wet on her face. She stops swinging. She looks at Ben. He is laughing.
+
+"That's not nice!" Anna says.
+
+"Sorry, I was just joking," Ben says.
+
+Anna is angry. She gets off the swing. She runs to Ben. She pushes him. He falls on the floor. He feels the dirt on his clothes.
+
+"Ow!" Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They are both dirty. They are both sad. They are not friends anymore.
+
+They walk away from the swing. They go to their moms. They tell them what happened. Their moms are not happy. They tell them to say sorry.
+
+Anna and Ben go back to the swing. They look at each other. They feel sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry I threw dirt at you," Ben says.
+
+"I'm sorry I pushed you," Anna says.
+
+They hug. They are friends again.
+
+They go to the swing. They sit on it together. They hold the ropes. They swing up and down. They feel happy.
+
+"Yay!" Anna and Ben say.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today, Ben is sick. He has a bad cough and a fever. He stays in bed and feels dull.
+
+Mia wants to cheer him up. She brings him his favorite teddy bear and a glass of water. She says, "Here, Ben. This is for you. Teddy will make you feel better. And drink some water, please. It is good for your lung."
+
+Ben smiles a little and hugs Teddy. He says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good sister. But I still feel dull. Can you read me a story, please?"
+
+Mia nods and picks up a book. She sits next to Ben and opens the book. She reads him a story about a brave knight and a friendly dragon. She makes funny voices and gestures. Ben listens and laughs. He forgets about his cough and his fever for a while.
+
+Mia is happy to see Ben happy. She says, "See, Ben? Stories are fun. They make you feel less dull. Maybe tomorrow you will feel better and we can play together again."
+
+Ben says, "I hope so, Mia. You are the best sister ever. I love you."
+
+They hug and kiss. Then they close their eyes and fall asleep. Teddy watches over them and smiles.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big red calendar on the wall. The calendar shows the days and the months.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom decide to play a game. They want to balance things on their heads. They look for things that are not too heavy and not too round. They find some blocks, some books, and some hats.
+
+Lily goes first. She puts a block on her head. She stands very still. She does not move. She says, "Look, Tom, I can balance a block on my head!"
+
+Tom claps his hands. He says, "Good job, Lily! Now it is my turn." He puts a book on his head. He stands very still. He does not move. He says, "Look, Lily, I can balance a book on my head!"
+
+Lily claps her hands. She says, "Good job, Tom! Now let's try something harder." She puts a hat on her head. She stands very still. She does not move. She says, "Look, Tom, I can balance a hat on my head!"
+
+Tom says, "Wow, Lily, you are very good at balancing! But I can do better." He looks around the room. He sees the big red calendar on the wall. He says, "I know! I will balance the calendar on my head!"
+
+Lily says, "No, Tom, that is too big and too flat! You will not be able to balance it on your head!"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, I will! Watch me!" He takes the calendar from the wall. He puts it on his head. He stands very still. He does not move. He says, "Look, Lily, I can balance the calendar on my head!"
+
+But then, the calendar slips from his head. It falls to the floor. It makes a loud noise. Lily and Tom are scared. They hear their mom coming to the room. They say, "Uh-oh, we are in trouble!"
+
+Mom opens the door. She sees the calendar on the floor. She sees Lily and Tom with things on their heads. She says, "What are you doing, Lily and Tom? Why did you take the calendar from the wall? Why are you balancing things on your heads?"
+
+Lily and Tom say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing a game. We wanted to see who can balance better. We did not mean to make a mess."
+
+Mom says, "I see. Well, balancing is a fun game, but you have to be careful. You could hurt yourself or break something. Next time, ask me before you take something from the wall. And please, put everything back where it belongs."
+
+Lily and Tom say, "OK, Mom. We will. We love you."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too. Now, let's clean up the room together."
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play at the shore. They liked to build sand castles, collect shells and splash in the water. One day, they saw a big boat on the water. It looked shiny and fun.
+
+"Can we go on the boat?" Lily asked their mom.
+
+"No, my dears, the boat is too far and too fast. It is not safe for you," their mom said.
+
+"But we want to see the boat!" Ben said.
+
+"Maybe you can wave to the boat and say hello," their mom suggested.
+
+Lily and Ben agreed and ran to the shore. They waved their arms and shouted hello to the boat. The boat honked its horn and waved back. Lily and Ben felt happy and excited.
+
+Then they saw a small crab on the sand. It looked cute and funny. It moved very slow and had big claws.
+
+"Can we play with the crab?" Lily asked their mom.
+
+"Yes, you can, but be gentle and careful. The crab might pinch you if you scare it or hurt it," their mom said.
+
+"OK, we will be nice to the crab," Ben said.
+
+They knelt down and watched the crab. They gave it some seaweed and some shells. The crab nibbled on the seaweed and hid in the shells. It seemed to like them. Lily and Ben smiled and laughed.
+
+They learned that the shore had many things to see and enjoy. They did not need to go on the big boat to have fun. They also learned to be respectful and kind to the animals they met. They had a wonderful day at the shore with their mom.
+Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they are bored at home. They decide to play a joke on their mom.
+
+They go to the kitchen and open the refrigerator. They see a big cake inside. It is mom's birthday cake. They take the cake out and hide it under the table. They put a note on the refrigerator. The note says: "Sorry, we ate your cake. Love, Tom and Lily."
+
+They wait for mom to come home. They are very quiet. They do not want mom to hear them. They want to see her face when she sees the note.
+
+Mom comes home from work. She is tired and hungry. She goes to the kitchen and sees the note on the refrigerator. She is shocked and sad. She says: "Oh no, my cake! How could they do this?"
+
+Tom and Lily hear mom's voice. They jump out from under the table. They hold the cake and say: "Surprise! Happy birthday, mom! We did not eat your cake. It was a joke!"
+
+Mom sees the cake and smiles. She is happy and relieved. She hugs Tom and Lily and says: "Thank you, my sweeties. You are very funny. But don't ever joke like that again. You scared me!"
+
+Tom and Lily say: "Sorry, mom. We love you. Can we have some cake now?"
+
+Mom says: "Of course. Let's have some cake and celebrate. You are the best gift I ever had."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers with the hose. But the hose was very long and heavy. Sometimes it was hard to hold it and point it at the flowers.
+
+"Let me do it, Ben. You are too small," Lily said. She took the hose from Ben and sprayed the water. Ben felt sad. He wanted to help too.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It had escaped from the neighbor's yard. It ran towards them, barking and growling. Ben and Lily were scared. They wanted to run away, but the hose was in the way.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily cried. She dropped the hose and hugged Ben. The dog came closer and closer.
+
+Ben saw the hose on the ground. He had an idea. He was very brave. He picked up the hose and turned it on. He aimed it at the dog and sprayed the water. The dog was surprised. It did not like the water. It stopped barking and growling. It turned around and ran away.
+
+"Wow, Ben! You did it! You saved us!" Lily said. She was proud of Ben. She gave him a hug. "You are not too small. You are very brave and smart."
+
+Ben smiled. He felt happy. He had managed to use the hose and scare the dog away. He learned that he could do big things, even if he was small.
+
+The moral value of the story is: courage and cleverness can overcome difficulties, and size does not matter.
+Tom and Mia are young friends who like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of wood near the trees. They want to build something with the wood, but they do not know how.
+
+"Let's make a house!" Tom says.
+
+"How do we make a house?" Mia asks.
+
+"We need to put the wood together. Like this." Tom picks up a piece of wood and tries to balance it on another piece. But the wood falls down and makes a loud noise.
+
+"Oops!" Tom says.
+
+"Let's try again." Mia says. She picks up another piece of wood and puts it on top of the first piece. She holds it with her hand and asks Tom to help her.
+
+"Can you get another piece of wood?" Mia says.
+
+"OK." Tom says. He looks around and sees a small piece of wood. He grabs it and brings it to Mia.
+
+"Here you go." Tom says.
+
+"Thank you." Mia says. She takes the small piece of wood and puts it on top of the other two pieces. She lets go of her hand and hopes the wood will stay.
+
+They look at their wood house and smile. They manage to build something with the wood. They are proud of themselves.
+
+"Wow, we did it!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, we did!" Mia says.
+
+They hug each other and laugh. They go inside their wood house and pretend to live there. They have fun playing in the park. They are young and happy.
+Ben is a very intelligent boy. He likes to learn new things and ask questions. He also likes to help his mom and dad with chores. He can put his toys away, make his bed, and water the plants.
+
+One day, Ben wants to help his mom make a salad for lunch. He goes to the kitchen and sees a big bowl of lettuce, tomatoes, and carrots. He also sees a fork on the counter. He thinks he can use the fork to toss the salad.
+
+He picks up the fork and starts to poke the lettuce. He is having fun, but he does not notice that he is making a mess. Some of the lettuce falls on the floor, and some of the tomatoes roll away. He also pokes a carrot too hard and it breaks in half.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees Ben and the salad. She is not happy. She says, "Ben, what are you doing? You are making a big mess. You cannot use a fork to toss a salad. You need a spoon or a spatula. And you need to be careful with the food. It is not a toy."
+
+Ben feels sad. He did not mean to make a mess. He wanted to help his mom. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was trying to be intelligent and help you. I thought I could use a fork to toss the salad. I did not know I had to be careful."
+
+Mom sees that Ben is sorry. She is not angry anymore. She says, "It's okay, Ben. I know you were trying to help. You are a very intelligent boy, but you also need to learn how to use the right tools and how to care for the food. Come, I will show you how to toss a salad properly. And then we can clean up the mess together."
+
+Ben smiles. He is glad that his mom is not mad at him. He says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. I want to learn how to toss a salad and how to care for the food. And I want to help you clean up the mess. You are the best mom ever."
+
+Mom hugs Ben. She says, "I love you too, Ben. You are the best son ever. And you are a very intelligent boy. I am proud of you."
+Sam and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. Sam has a big red truck. Tom has a small blue car. They race on the floor and make loud noises.
+
+One day, Tom sees a new yellow car in Sam's room. It is shiny and fast. Tom wants to play with it. He asks Sam, "Can I have your yellow car? It is better than mine."
+
+Sam says, "No, you cannot have it. It is mine. My dad gave it to me for my birthday. You have your own car."
+
+Tom feels sad and angry. He thinks Sam is mean. He waits until Sam goes to the bathroom. Then he takes the yellow car and hides it under his shirt. He runs to his room.
+
+Sam comes back and looks for his yellow car. He cannot find it. He asks Tom, "Where is my yellow car? Did you take it?"
+
+Tom says, "No, I did not take it. I do not know where it is. Maybe you lost it."
+
+Sam does not believe him. He thinks Tom is lying. He is nosy. He goes to Tom's room and looks around. He sees a bump under Tom's pillow. He lifts the pillow and finds his yellow car.
+
+Sam is angry. He says, "You did take it! You are a bad friend. You do not share. You do not tell the truth. Give me back my yellow car!"
+
+Tom feels ashamed. He knows he did wrong. He says, "I am sorry, Sam. I was jealous of your yellow car. I wanted to have it. But it is yours. Here, take it back."
+
+Sam takes his yellow car. He says, "Thank you, Tom. But you should not take things that are not yours. You should ask first. And you should not lie. That is not nice."
+
+Tom says, "You are right, Sam. I will not do it again. I will improve. I will be a good friend. Can we still play together?"
+
+Sam says, "Yes, we can still play together. But you have to share. And you have to tell the truth. Then we can have fun."
+
+Tom says, "OK, Sam. I will share. And I will tell the truth. Let's play with our cars and trucks."
+
+Sam and Tom hug. They are friends again. They play with their cars and trucks. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the big park near their home. One day, they see a bright rainbow in the sky. They want to find the end of the rainbow.
+
+"Maybe there is a pot of gold there," Lily says.
+
+"Or a fairy with a magic wand," Ben says.
+
+They run across the grass and search for the rainbow. They look behind the trees and the flowers and the rocks. But they cannot find the end of the rainbow.
+
+"Where is it?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says.
+
+They are sad and tired. They sit on a bench and rest. A kind lady walks by. She sees the twins and smiles.
+
+"Hello, little ones. What are you looking for?" she asks.
+
+"We are looking for the end of the rainbow," Lily says.
+
+"But we can't find it," Ben says.
+
+The lady nods. She says, "The end of the rainbow is very hard to find. But you know what? You can make your own rainbow with your imagination. Do you like stories?"
+
+"Yes, we love stories!" the twins say.
+
+"Then I have a story for you. It is about a brave princess and a clever dragon who go on a wonderful adventure. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+"Yes, please!" the twins say.
+
+The lady sits down next to them and tells them the story. The twins listen with wide eyes and open mouths. They see the princess and the dragon in their minds. They laugh and gasp and clap. They forget about the rainbow. They are happy and curious.
+
+The story ends. The lady says, "Did you like the story?"
+
+"Yes, we loved it!" the twins say.
+
+"Thank you for telling us the story," Lily says.
+
+"Can you tell us another one?" Ben says.
+
+The lady smiles. She says, "Maybe another day. But you can always make up your own stories. You have a bright imagination. Just like the rainbow."
+
+She gives them a hug and a kiss. She says goodbye and walks away. The twins wave at her. They look at the sky. The rainbow is still there. But it is not as bright as before.
+
+They say to each other, "Let's go home and make up our own stories."
+
+They hold hands and run back to their home. They are happy and excited. They have a lot of stories to tell.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw white snow falling from the sky. They put on their warm coats, hats, and boots and ran outside. They wanted to make a snowman.
+
+They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They found a carrot, a scarf, and some buttons to make the snowman's face and clothes. They were very happy with their snowman. They named him Sam.
+
+"Hello, Sam!" they said. "We are your friends. We care about you."
+
+But then, they heard a loud bark. It was Rex, the big dog who lived next door. Rex liked to chase and bite things. He saw the snowman and thought it was a toy. He ran towards it, ready to attack.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Lily and Ben said. "Rex is coming! He will ruin our snowman!"
+
+They ran to their snowman and stood in front of it. They tried to protect it from Rex. They shouted, "No, Rex! Go away! This is our snowman! He is not a toy!"
+
+But Rex did not listen. He was too excited. He jumped over Lily and Ben and bit the snowman's head. He pulled the carrot out of the snowman's nose and ran away with it.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sad. They looked at their snowman. He had no head, no nose, and no smile. He was broken.
+
+They started to cry. They hugged each other. They said, "We are sorry, Sam. We tried to save you. We still care about you."
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was their mom. She had seen what happened. She came outside with a shovel and a bucket. She said, "Don't cry, my loves. I have an idea. Let's fix your snowman. I can help you. I have some more snow and some more things. We can make him even better than before. He will be happy again. And so will you."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They wiped their tears. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are very helpful. You are the best."
+
+They followed their mom and helped her to fix their snowman. They gave him a new head, a new nose, and a new smile. They also gave him a hat, a coat, and some gloves. They made him look very cozy and friendly.
+
+They hugged their snowman and said, "Hello, Sam! We are your friends. We care about you. And so does our mom."
+
+The snowman seemed to wink at them. He was happy again. And so were they.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. But they do not like the big dog that lives near the park. The big dog is fierce and loud. He barks and growls and chases them.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben see the big dog outside his fence. He is not on a leash. He sees them and starts to run towards them. Lily and Ben are scared. They run to the slide and climb up. The big dog follows them and jumps on the slide.
+
+"Go away, bad dog!" Lily shouts. "You are not nice!"
+
+The big dog does not listen. He tries to bite Lily's leg. Lily kicks him and he falls off the slide. He gets up and tries again. Ben sees a zip on the slide. He pulls it and a net comes out. The net covers the big dog and traps him.
+
+"Ha, ha, we got you!" Ben says. "You can't hurt us now!"
+
+The big dog whines and struggles. He can't get out of the net. Lily and Ben are happy. They slide down and run to the gate. They see a man coming. He is the big dog's owner. He has a leash in his hand.
+
+"Sorry, kids, I forgot to lock the fence," he says. "He is not a bad dog, he just likes to play. But he doesn't know his own strength. I'll take him home now."
+
+He opens the zip and frees the big dog. He puts the leash on him and walks away. The big dog looks at Lily and Ben and wags his tail. He is not fierce anymore. He is sorry.
+
+Lily and Ben wave at him and smile. They are not scared anymore. They go back to the slide and play. They have fun. They are brave.
+Tom and Sue were eager to go to the mall with Mom. They wanted to see the big tree with lights and the man in red who gave gifts. Mom said they had to be good and wait in line.
+
+But Tom was bored. He saw a crayon on the floor. He picked it up and looked for something to mark. He saw a white wall near the tree. He thought it would be fun to draw on it. He did not see the sign that said "Do not mark the wall".
+
+Sue saw what Tom was doing. She was scared. She knew Mom would be angry. She said, "Tom, stop! You are not allowed to mark the wall. Mom will see and be mad. The man in red will see and not give you a gift."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He kept marking the wall. He drew a big star and a smiley face. He was happy. He did not hear Mom coming. He did not see the man in red watching.
+
+Mom saw the wall. She saw Tom with the crayon. She was very angry. She said, "Tom, what did you do? You marked the wall. That is bad. You have to say sorry and clean it up. You have to go home. You will not get a gift from the man in red."
+
+Tom was sad. He realized he made a mistake. He said sorry and tried to clean the wall. But the crayon did not come off. He cried. He wished he had listened to Sue. He wished he had been good. He wished he could see the man in red and get a gift. But it was too late. He had to go home with Mom and Sue. He learned a lesson. He would not mark the wall again.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sack near a bench. They were curious and wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Maybe it has toys or candy," Tom said.
+
+"Let's open it and find out," Sam said.
+
+They ran to the sack and pulled the string. But instead of toys or candy, they saw many peanuts. They were disappointed and angry.
+
+"Who would leave peanuts in a sack? That's boring and silly," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe someone likes peanuts and forgot them here," Sam said.
+
+"Or maybe it's a trap," Tom said.
+
+"A trap? For what?" Sam asked.
+
+"Maybe for squirrels or birds. Maybe someone wants to catch them and hurt them," Tom said.
+
+"That's mean and bad. We should help the squirrels and birds," Sam said.
+
+They decided to take the sack and throw it away. They carried it to a trash can and lifted it up. But as they did, they heard a loud noise and felt a sharp pain. The sack was not full of peanuts, but of firecrackers. Someone had left them there as a prank. The firecrackers exploded and burned Tom and Sam's hands and faces. They screamed and cried and dropped the sack.
+
+People heard the noise and came to help them. They called an ambulance and took them to the hospital. Tom and Sam had to stay there for many days. They had bandages and medicine and felt very sorry.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be too curious and don't touch things that are not yours. They might be dangerous and hurt you.
+Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play music with their band. Lily had a drum and Sam had a guitar. They made songs and sang them loud.
+
+One day, a man came to their park. He said he liked their band. He said he had a big stage and many people who wanted to hear them. He said he could take them there in his car. He said they would be stars.
+
+Lily and Sam were happy. They wanted to be stars. They trusted the man. They said yes. They got in his car with their drum and guitar.
+
+But the man was bad. He did not take them to a big stage. He took them to a dark and empty place. He locked them in a room. He said he would sell their drum and guitar. He said he would hurt them if they cried.
+
+Lily and Sam were scared. They wished they had not trusted the man. They wished they had stayed in their park. They wished they had their band. They hugged each other and hoped someone would find them. But no one did.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. Tom had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They made noises and pretended to drive around the carpet.
+
+"Beep beep! Move, Lily! My car is faster!" Tom said.
+
+"No, Tom! You have to yield! That means you have to let me go first sometimes!" Lily said.
+
+"Why? You are selfish! You always want to go first!" Tom said.
+
+They started to argue and push each other. Their toy cars crashed and broke. They both cried.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken toy cars and the angry children.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Tom is selfish! He broke my car!" Lily said.
+
+"Lily is selfish! She broke my car!" Tom said.
+
+Mom sighed. She picked up the toy cars and looked at them. She saw that they were not very well made. They had loose wheels and wires.
+
+"These toy cars are not very good. They need a mechanic. A mechanic is someone who can fix things that are broken. Do you know a mechanic?" Mom asked.
+
+Tom and Lily shook their heads. They did not know a mechanic.
+
+"Well, I know a mechanic. His name is Dad. He can fix your toy cars. But he will only do it if you are nice to each other. Can you do that?" Mom asked.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They felt sorry for breaking their toy cars and for fighting. They hugged each other and said sorry.
+
+"Good. Now, let's go find Dad. He is in the garage. He will be happy to see you and your toy cars. Maybe he will teach you how to yield and how to share. That means you have to be kind and take turns. Do you understand?" Mom asked.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded again. They smiled and followed Mom to the garage. They hoped that Dad could fix their toy cars and that they could play together again. They learned that being selfish was not fun.
+Ben loves to play football with his friends. They run, kick and catch the ball in the park. Sometimes they score goals and cheer. Ben is very good at football. He is fast and strong.
+
+One day, a new boy comes to the park. He has a big football and a red shirt. He does not say hello to Ben and his friends. He just plays by himself. He kicks the ball very hard and far. He thinks he is the best.
+
+Ben wants to show the new boy that he can play football too. He runs to the new boy and asks for the ball. The new boy does not want to share. He says the ball is his and he can do what he wants. He kicks the ball away from Ben.
+
+Ben is angry. He chases the ball and tries to get it back. He does not see the puddle on the ground. He steps on the water and slips. He falls down and hurts his knee. He cries.
+
+The new boy laughs at Ben. He says Ben is bad at football and he is better. He picks up the ball and walks away. He does not help Ben or say sorry.
+
+Ben's friends run to Ben and help him up. They hug him and say he is brave and good. They say the new boy is mean and unknown. They do not like him. They take Ben to his mom and she gives him a band-aid and a kiss. Ben feels better. He says thank you to his friends and his mom. He says he does not care about the new boy or his ball. He says he has the best friends and the best mom in the world.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with stickers. They have many stickers of animals, cars, stars and flowers. They stick them on their books, toys and clothes.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben go to the park with their moms. They see a big tree with many birds. The birds sing and fly. Anna and Ben want to stick stickers on the tree. They think the tree will like it.
+
+They ask their moms for stickers. Their moms give them some stickers. Anna and Ben say thank you. They run to the tree. They stick stickers on the bark, the branches and the leaves. They make the tree look cheerful.
+
+The birds see the stickers. They are curious. They fly closer to the tree. They peck at the stickers. They pull them off. They see the labels on the stickers. The labels have words like "dog", "car", "star" and "flower".
+
+The birds do not know what the words mean. They think they are funny. They try to say the words. They make noises like "woof", "vroom", "twinkle" and "smell". Anna and Ben hear the noises. They laugh. They think the birds are silly.
+
+They go to the tree. They talk to the birds. They say, "Hello, birds. Do you like our stickers? We want to make you happy. We want to be your friends." The birds nod. They say, "Hello, Anna. Hello, Ben. We like your stickers. They are colorful and shiny. We want to be your friends too."
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They give some stickers to the birds. The birds stick them on their feathers. They look cheerful too. They sing and fly with Anna and Ben. They have fun. Their moms watch them. They are proud. They think Anna and Ben are kind and smart. They clap and cheer. They have a good day.
+Once upon a time, there was a big bucket. The bucket was blue and it could hold a lot of water. One day, the bucket had a leak. Water was coming out of the bucket and it made the ground wet. The bucket was not dry anymore. 
+
+The bucket was sad because it wanted to be useful. It did not want to leak water everywhere. The bucket asked for help from its friend, a little girl. The little girl saw the leak and got some tape. She put the tape on the leak and the bucket was happy again. 
+
+Now, the bucket could hold water without leaking. It was useful again. The little girl was happy too because she helped the bucket. They both played together and had fun. The end.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys, especially her teddy bear. One day, she went to the kitchen to help her mom make lunch. Her mom was making a tuna sandwich.
+
+Lily asked, "What is that?" pointing to the tuna.
+
+"That's tuna, sweetie. It's a kind of fish we can eat," her mom replied.
+
+Lily said, "I don't like fish. They smell bad."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Well, we can measure how much tuna we put in the sandwich so it won't be too much for you."
+
+Lily helped her mom measure the tuna and put it on the sandwich. She took a bite and said, "Mmm, this is good! I'm not miserable anymore."
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside and explore the world around her. One day, she went on a walk with her mommy and daddy to see the view from the top of a hill. They had to climb up a big hill to get there, but it was worth it when they reached the top. They could see all the way to the other side of town!
+
+On their way back down the hill, Lily spotted a sour apple on the ground. She picked it up and took a big bite. It was so sour that she made a funny face and spit it out. Her mommy and daddy warned her not to eat things she found on the ground, but Lily didn't listen.
+
+Later that night, Lily started to feel sick. Her tummy hurt and she couldn't stop throwing up. Her mommy and daddy took her to the doctor, but it was too late. The doctor couldn't solve the problem and Lily became very sick. She learned her lesson to never eat things she found on the ground, but it was too late. The end.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. He loved to play outside and start new games with his friends. One day, Timmy and his friends decided to play hide-and-seek. Timmy was so excited that he started counting while his friends hid. 
+
+But as he counted, the weather got colder and colder. Timmy started to shiver and wished he had worn a warmer jacket. Finally, he finished counting and went to find his friends. But they were nowhere to be found! 
+
+Timmy started to get scared and called out to his friends. "Where are you guys? Come out, come out, wherever you are!" he shouted. But there was no answer. Suddenly, Timmy heard a noise behind him. He turned around and saw a big, scary dog. The dog started to chase Timmy and he ran as fast as he could. 
+
+Timmy ran and ran, but the dog was too fast. Finally, the dog caught up to him and Timmy got a big fright. He wished he had never started playing hide-and-seek in the first place.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside with her friends. They would run and jump and laugh all day long. One day, they were playing a game of tag when Lily noticed something strange. She saw a big, scary dog running towards them. 
+
+Lily's friends didn't see the dog yet, so she shouted, "Stop! Look out!" They all turned around and saw the dog. They were scared and didn't know what to do. 
+
+But Lily remembered something her mom had told her. She said that if you stand still and don't make any noise, the dog will usually go away. So Lily told her friends to be quiet and stand still. 
+
+After a few minutes, the dog sniffed around and then ran away. Lily's friends were so grateful that she knew what to do. They said, "Lily, you are a true hero!" From then on, they made sure to listen to Lily's regular safety tips.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a diary where she wrote about her day. One day, Lily invited her friend Sarah to come over and play. They played with dolls and had fun. 
+
+But then, Sarah started to be rude to Lily. She took Lily's toys and didn't share. Lily didn't like that. She told Sarah it was not nice to be rude. Sarah didn't listen and kept being rude. 
+
+Lily didn't want to play with Sarah anymore. She wrote about it in her diary. She felt sad that her friend was being mean. But Lily knew it was important to stand up for herself and not let anyone be rude to her.
+Once upon a time, there was a big dog named Max. Max was very tall and had a long tail. One day, Max was very hungry and went outside to look for a bone. He looked everywhere but couldn't find one. Max started to hurry because he was very hungry. Suddenly, he saw a small bone on the ground. Max was so happy and ate the bone quickly. Max felt better and was not hungry anymore. The end.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play outside with his friends, but he didn't like wearing pants. He thought they were too hot and uncomfortable.
+
+One day, Timmy's mom caught him outside without any pants on. She was very upset and told him that he had to wear pants when he played outside. Timmy didn't like this, but he knew he had to listen to his mom.
+
+Later that day, Timmy's friend Billy came over to play. Billy saw that Timmy was wearing pants and said, "Timmy, you look weak in those pants." Timmy didn't like that and said, "I don't care if I look weak, I don't want to get punished by my mom again." Billy understood and they continued to play together, both wearing their pants.
+Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Floppy. Floppy had a soft, fluffy tail and loved to hop around in the meadow. One day, Floppy saw a big carrot patch and decided to go check it out. As she nibbled on a carrot, she noticed a scary fox coming towards her.
+
+Floppy got scared and ran away as fast as she could, but the fox was too fast. The fox caught up to Floppy and started to scatter her all over the place. Floppy's soft fur got all messed up and her mustache was gone.
+
+Sadly, Floppy didn't make it out alive. The fox had gotten too rough and poor Floppy couldn't take it. The other bunnies in the meadow were very sad and missed Floppy a lot. They knew they had to be careful and stay away from the scary fox.

+
+Suddenly, a bad storm came and the wind blew all the toys away. Zoom was sad because he worked hard to sort the toys. But then, Zoom had an idea. He drove around and collected all the toys. He sorted them again and put them in a safe place. Now, all the toys were safe and sorted thanks to Zoom.

+
+"I don't know, mommy. I just can't stop thinking about the monster under my bed," replied Lily.

+
+Lily heard Tom's voice from the other side of the wardrobe. She had fallen asleep and did not know that the wardrobe was really a magic door. She woke up and said, "Tom, is that you? What are you doing?" She crawled to the door and saw Tom in the forest. She saw the lion too and was scared. She said, "Tom, come back! It's not safe there!"

+Lily did not know what to do. She wished she had a stick or a stone to throw at the lion. She looked around and saw a big umbrella in the wardrobe. She grabbed it and opened it. She said, "Hey, lion, leave my brother alone!" She waved the umbrella and made a loud noise.
+
+The lion was surprised and confused. It did not like the umbrella or the noise. It let go of Tom and ran away. Tom got up and ran to the wardrobe. He hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily, you saved me! I'm sorry I scared you!"
+
+Lily hugged Tom and said, "It's okay, Tom, I'm glad you're safe. Let's never go to the wardrobe again. It's too dangerous."
+
+They closed the wardrobe and ran to their mom. They told her what happened and she hugged them. She said, "I'm proud of you, Lily, for being brave and smart. I'm proud of you, Tom, for being sorry and kind. You learned a valuable lesson today. Never play with things you don't understand. And always stick together and help each other."
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park today. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. Anna saw a big bird in the sky. It was white and had long wings. It looked graceful, like a dancer.
+
+"Look, Ben, a bird!" Anna said. She pointed at the sky with her finger.
+
+Ben looked up and saw the bird too. He smiled and pointed with his finger. "It's a swan, Anna. A swan is a kind of bird that lives near water. It can swim and fly."
+
+"Wow, a swan!" Anna said. "I want to see it swim. Can we go to the pond?"
+
+Ben nodded. He took Anna's hand and they ran to the pond. They hoped to see the swan there.
+
+But when they got to the pond, they saw something else. There was a big, brown, furry animal in the water. It had a long tail and big teeth. It was not graceful, like a swan. It was scary, like a monster.
+
+"Look, Anna, a beaver!" Ben said. He pointed at the water with his finger.
+
+Anna looked at the beaver and screamed. She did not like the beaver. She was afraid of the beaver. She pulled Ben's hand and ran away from the pond.
+
+"Let's go back to the grass, Ben. I don't want to see the beaver. I only want to see the swan."
+
+Ben agreed. He did not like the beaver either. He liked the swan better. They ran back to the grass and looked for the swan in the sky. They hoped to see it again.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big scale in the park. A scale is a thing that tells you how much weight you have.
+
+"Look, Lily, a scale!" Tom says. "Let's try it!"
+
+"OK, Tom, you go first," Lily says.
+
+Tom steps on the scale. The scale shows a number. Tom reads the number.
+
+"I have 40 pounds of weight," Tom says. "That is a lot!"
+
+Lily steps on the scale. The scale shows a different number. Lily reads the number.
+
+"I have 35 pounds of weight," Lily says. "That is less than you!"
+
+Tom and Lily look at each other. They smile.
+
+"We have different weights, but we are both good," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, we are," Lily says. "We are glad to be friends."
+
+They hug and run to play some more.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a big bridge with the blue and green blocks. It is very thick and strong. Do you like it?" Tom asked, showing his bridge to his sister.
+
+Lily looked at Tom's bridge and nodded. She liked it, but she wanted to make something else. She had an idea. She took some red and yellow blocks and started to make a fire truck. She added wheels and a ladder and a siren.
+
+"Look, Tom, I made a fire truck with the red and yellow blocks. It is very fast and loud. Do you like it?" Lily asked, showing her fire truck to her brother.
+
+Tom looked at Lily's fire truck and shrugged. He did not like it very much. He liked bridges better than fire trucks. He did not say anything.
+
+Lily saw that Tom did not like her fire truck. She felt sad. She wanted Tom to like her fire truck. She did not say anything.
+
+They played with their blocks for a while, but they did not talk to each other. They did not have fun.
+
+Their mom came into the living room. She saw that Lily and Tom were not happy. She asked them what was wrong.
+
+"Lily made a fire truck and I made a bridge, but we don't like each other's blocks," Tom said.
+
+"Tom made a bridge and I made a fire truck, but we don't like each other's blocks," Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "You don't have to like the same things to play together. You can share your blocks and make different things. You can also learn from each other and try new things. You are both very creative and smart. I like your bridge and your fire truck. They are both very nice."
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other and smiled. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to share their blocks and make new things. They had fun.
+
+Mom said, "It is getting dark. It is evening. It is time to clean up your blocks and get ready for bed."
+
+Lily and Tom said, "OK, Mom. We will clean up our blocks and get ready for bed. Thank you for playing with us."
+
+They cleaned up their blocks and put them in a big box. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They gave Mom a kiss and went to bed. They dreamed of bridges and fire trucks and other things they could make with their blocks. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing outside in the garden. They liked to dig and make holes with their shovels. They found some worms and bugs and put them in a bucket. They were having fun.
+
+But then it started to rain. The rain was cold and wet. It made the dirt turn into mud. Lily and Tom did not like the rain. They wanted to go inside and get warm and dry.
+
+They ran to the door, but it was locked. They knocked and knocked, but no one answered. They realized that Mom and Dad were not home. They had gone to the store and forgot to leave the door open. Lily and Tom felt scared and sad.
+
+They looked for a place to hide from the rain. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They crawled inside the hole. It was dark and cozy. They hugged each other and waited for Mom and Dad to come back.
+
+After a while, they heard a car in the driveway. They peeked out of the hole and saw Mom and Dad. They were happy and relieved. They ran to them and gave them big hugs. Mom and Dad were sorry and said they were sorry. They took Lily and Tom inside and gave them hot chocolate and cookies. They told them they loved them and they were brave. Lily and Tom felt warm and safe. They smiled and said they loved them too. They forgot about the mud and the cold. They were glad to be home.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play games and solve puzzles. One day, they find a big box in the park. They open the box and see many shirts. The shirts have different colors and shapes. Some shirts have buttons, some shirts have zippers, some shirts have pockets.
+
+"Wow, look at these shirts!" Anna says. "They are so unusual. I wonder who left them here."
+
+"Maybe they are clues for a puzzle," Ben says. "Let's try to solve it. Maybe we can find a prize."
+
+They start to look at the shirts. They try to find patterns and matches. They sort the shirts by color, by shape, by size. They count the buttons, the zippers, the pockets. They make piles and rows and circles.
+
+They are having fun, but they cannot solve the puzzle. They do not see any prize. They are confused and tired.
+
+"Maybe this is not a puzzle," Anna says. "Maybe this is just a box of shirts. Maybe someone forgot them here."
+
+"Maybe you are right," Ben says. "Maybe we should go home. It is getting dark."
+
+They close the box and leave it in the park. They walk home, holding hands. They are still friends. They still like to play games and solve puzzles. But they do not like unusual shirts. They like their own shirts. They are simple and cozy.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park with their toys. They had a lot of fun with the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They made a big castle with sand and sticks.
+
+"Look, Mommy, look at our castle!" Lily shouted.
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "It's very nice, my loves. But it's time to go home now. Are you hungry?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They were hungry and thirsty. They wanted a snack.
+
+Mommy packed their toys and took their hands. They walked to the car. On the way, they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them.
+
+Lily and Max were scared. They hid behind Mommy.
+
+"Mommy, Mommy, the dog is scary!" Max cried.
+
+Mommy hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. The dog is not mean. He just wants to play. But we have to be careful. He is very big and strong."
+
+Mommy looked for the dog's owner. She saw a man with a leash. He was calling the dog.
+
+"Rover, Rover, come here, boy!" the man said.
+
+The dog heard the man and stopped. He turned around and ran back to the man. The man put the leash on the dog and said, "I'm sorry, he got away from me. He is very friendly, but he doesn't know his own strength."
+
+Mommy said, "It's okay, we understand. He is a beautiful dog. But maybe you should keep him on the leash in the park. There are many children here."
+
+The man nodded and said, "You're right, I will. Have a nice day."
+
+Mommy said, "You too. Come on, Lily and Max, let's go home."
+
+Lily and Max were relieved. They got in the car and buckled their seatbelts. Mommy gave them a snack. They had cookies and juice.
+
+"Mommy, you are brave. You managed to keep us safe from the dog," Lily said.
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "Thank you, my love. But you and Max are brave too. You managed to stay calm and listen to me. I'm proud of you."
+
+Lily and Max smiled and hugged Mommy. They ate their snack and felt happy. They had a hard day, but they had each other.
+Jill and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new girl on the swing. She has a fancy dress and a big bow in her hair. Jill and Ben want to say hello.
+
+Jill goes to the new girl and says, "Hi, I am Jill. What is your name?" The new girl looks at Jill and says, "I am Ella. I am better than you. You have a dirty shirt and a silly hat. Go away." Jill feels sad and runs back to Ben.
+
+Ben sees Jill is sad and says, "What happened?" Jill tells Ben what Ella said. Ben says, "That is not nice. She is mean. Do you want to play with me?" Jill says, "Yes, thank you. You are a good friend."
+
+They go to the slide and have fun. They see a bird on a tree. The bird has a colorful wing and a loud song. Jill and Ben like the bird. They say, "Hello, bird. You are pretty. Can we be your friends?"
+
+The bird looks at Jill and Ben and says, "Yes, you can. I am Lila. I am new here. I am looking for friends. You are kind and fun. Can you introduce me to the other animals in the park?" Jill and Ben say, "Yes, we can. Come with us. We will show you around."
+
+They take Lila to the pond, the sandbox, the bench, and the flower bed. They introduce Lila to the duck, the cat, the dog, and the bee. Lila makes friends with all of them. She says, "Thank you, Jill and Ben. You are the best. You made me feel welcome. Can we play together again?" Jill and Ben say, "Yes, we can. We are happy to have you as our friend."
+
+They all play together until it is time to go home. They say goodbye and hug each other. They promise to meet again soon. They are all happy.
+Lily liked to read books with many words. She had a big book with all the words, called a dictionary. She liked to look at the dictionary and learn new words.
+
+One day, she saw a pale boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. Lily wanted to be his friend. She walked to him and said, "Hi, I am Lily. What is your name?"
+
+The boy looked up and said, "I am Sam. I am new here. I don't have any friends."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You can be my friend. Do you like books?"
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Yes, I like books. But I don't have many books at home."
+
+Lily said, "I have many books at home. You can come with me and see. I have a dictionary, too. It has all the words. Do you want to see?"
+
+Sam smiled and said, "Yes, I want to see. Thank you, Lily. You are very nice."
+
+Lily and Sam held hands and walked to Lily's home. They looked at the dictionary and learned new words. They also read other books and played games. They had fun and became good friends. Lily's mom made them cookies and milk. She was happy to see Lily and Sam. She said, "I am glad you have a new friend, Lily. You are very kind to include him."
+Lila and Ben liked to play with their toy castle. It was small, but it had many rooms and towers. They had knights and princesses and dragons to make stories with.
+
+One day, Lila decided to polish the castle. She took a cloth and some water and rubbed the castle until it shone. She wanted it to look pretty and clean.
+
+"Look, Ben, I polished the castle!" she said. "Do you like it?"
+
+Ben came over and looked at the castle. He saw that it was shiny and wet. He frowned.
+
+"Lila, you made the castle wet!" he said. "Now it will get dirty and rusty. You should not polish the castle with water. You should use wax or oil."
+
+Lila felt sad. She did not know that water was bad for the castle. She thought she was doing something nice.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," she said. "I did not mean to ruin the castle. I just wanted to make it look nice."
+
+Ben saw that Lila was sad. He felt sorry for her. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lila. The castle is not ruined. We can dry it with a towel and then polish it with wax or oil. It will look nice again. I like your castle. And I like you."
+
+Lila smiled and hugged Ben back. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I like your castle too. And I like you."
+
+They dried the castle with a towel and then polished it with wax or oil. It looked nice again. They played with their toy castle and had fun. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a shiny red car and Tom had a dull green truck. Tom wanted to play with the car, but Lily did not want to share.
+
+"Give me the car, Lily!" Tom said.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily said.
+
+They started to pull the car from each other, and they made a lot of noise. Mom came to see what was wrong.
+
+"Stop fighting, children!" Mom said. "You have to share your toys and be nice to each other. If you don't, your toys might disappear!"
+
+Lily and Tom did not listen to Mom. They kept fighting over the car, and they did not notice that the car slipped from their hands and rolled under the sofa.
+
+"Where is the car?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, it disappeared!" Tom said.
+
+They looked under the sofa, but they could not find the car. They felt sad and sorry.
+
+"Maybe Mom was right," Lily said. "Maybe we should have shared and been nice to each other."
+
+"Yes, maybe we should have," Tom said.
+
+They hugged each other and said they were sorry. Then they decided to play with the truck together. They put the truck on Tom's shoulder and made it go vroom vroom. They had fun and they smiled.
+
+Mom saw them and was happy. She said, "That's better, children. Sharing is caring, and caring is fun. And look, I found your car. It was behind the sofa. Here you go."
+
+She gave them the car and they thanked her. They played with the car and the truck together, and they did not fight anymore.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were astronauts and explore the stars. They had a big cardboard box that they called their rocket. They put on their helmets and gloves and got inside the box.
+
+"Ready for blast off?" Tom asked.
+
+"Ready!" Lily said.
+
+They counted down from ten and then shouted, "Zoom!" They shook the box and made noises like a rocket. They looked out of the window and saw the sky. It was dark and full of bright dots.
+
+"Look, a comet!" Lily pointed. She saw a long, shiny thing with a tail. It was moving fast across the sky.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Tom said. He wanted to see it closer. He grabbed his toy gun and aimed at the comet. "I'm going to shoot it and catch it!"
+
+"No, don't!" Lily said. "That's not polite! The comet is not hurting us. It's just flying by. We should say hello and wave."
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He lowered his gun and smiled. "You're right, Lily. The comet is a friend, not a target. Let's be nice and say hello." He waved his hand and said, "Hello, comet! Have a nice trip!"
+
+Lily waved too and said, "Hello, comet! You're very beautiful!"
+
+The comet seemed to sparkle and wink at them. Then it disappeared behind the clouds. Tom and Lily felt happy and proud. They had seen a comet and made a new friend. They hugged each other and continued their space adventure.
+Tom and Jen were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. They wanted to learn what was inside.
+
+"Let's go and look," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Jen said.
+
+They ran to the hole and peeked inside. It was dark and deep. They heard a strange noise.
+
+"What is that?" Jen asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's a monster," Tom said.
+
+He was scared, but he wanted to be brave. He picked up a stick and threw it in the hole. The noise got louder and angrier.
+
+"Run!" Jen shouted.
+
+But it was too late. A big snake came out of the hole and bit Tom on the leg. He screamed and fell down. Jen ran to help him, but the snake was faster. It wrapped around them and squeezed them hard. They could not breathe. They could not call for help. They were in big trouble.
+
+The end.
+Sara liked to make bracelets with beads. She had many beads of different colors and shapes. She made bracelets for her friends, her family and herself. She was very good at making bracelets. She felt successful and happy.
+
+One day, Sara saw a new girl in her class. Her name was Lily. Lily had a very pretty bracelet on her wrist. It had shiny stones and a silver heart. Sara wanted to have a bracelet like that. She asked Lily, "Where did you get your bracelet?"
+
+Lily looked at Sara and said, "My mom gave it to me. It is very special. It is not for sharing or trading. It is only for me."
+
+Sara felt sad and angry. She thought Lily was mean and selfish. She wanted to have a shiny bracelet too. She decided to take Lily's bracelet when she was not looking. She waited for the right moment.
+
+At recess, Lily went to play on the swings. She left her bracelet on her desk. Sara saw it and quickly grabbed it. She put it on her wrist and hid it under her sleeve. She thought she was very clever. She smiled and went to play too.
+
+But Lily soon noticed that her bracelet was gone. She looked everywhere for it. She asked her teacher and her friends. No one knew where it was. She felt very sad and scared. She loved her bracelet very much. She started to cry.
+
+Sara saw Lily crying. She felt a little sorry for her. But she also liked the bracelet. She thought it was very pretty. She did not want to give it back. She pretended she did not know anything.
+
+Lily came to Sara and asked, "Have you seen my bracelet? It is very important to me. Please, tell me if you know where it is."
+
+Sara looked at Lily and said, "No, I have not seen your bracelet. I do not know where it is. Maybe you lost it or someone took it. I am sorry for you."
+
+Lily did not believe Sara. She saw a glint of silver under Sara's sleeve. She pulled it and saw her bracelet. She recognized it right away. She was very angry and shocked. She said, "You took my bracelet! You lied to me! You are a thief and a liar! Give it back to me now!"
+
+Sara was caught. She felt ashamed and afraid. She tried to reply, but she could not find any words. She had no excuse. She knew she did something very bad. She gave the bracelet back to Lily and ran away.
+
+Lily took her bracelet and hugged it. She was very happy to have it back. But she was also very hurt and angry. She did not want to be friends with Sara anymore. She told the teacher what Sara did. The teacher was very disappointed and angry too. She scolded Sara and punished her. She made her apologize to Lily and write a letter to her mom.
+
+Sara felt very sorry and sad. She realized she made a big mistake. She lost a chance to make a new friend. She lost the trust of her teacher and her mom. She lost her happiness and success. She wished she never took the bracelet. But it was too late. She had to face the consequences of her actions. She learned a hard lesson. She hoped she could do better next time.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to pretend they were cops and robbers, chasing each other around the slides and swings. Tom was the cop and Lily was the robber. She had a bag of candy that she had stolen from the store.
+
+"Stop, robber! Give me back the candy!" Tom shouted, as he ran after Lily with his toy siren. Lily giggled and ran faster, hiding behind a tree. She peeked out and saw Tom looking for her. She had an idea. She threw the bag of candy over the fence, where a real cop was walking by.
+
+The real cop heard the bag land near his feet. He looked over the fence and saw Lily smiling at him. He picked up the bag and opened it. He saw the candy and the store label. He realized what had happened. He revealed the bag to Tom and Lily, who were both surprised and scared.
+
+"Did you steal this candy, little girl?" the cop asked Lily, in a stern voice. Lily nodded, feeling ashamed. She had been naughty and she knew it. Tom felt sorry for her. He had been playing, but she had been real.
+
+The cop was not angry. He was kind. He explained to Lily that stealing was wrong and that she had to say sorry to the store owner. He also gave her a hug and told her that he was glad she was honest. He took her and Tom to the store, where they returned the candy and apologized. The store owner was also kind. He forgave them and gave them each a lollipop.
+
+Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They decided to play something else in the park. They were restless, but they were also happy. They thanked the cop for being nice and helping them. The cop smiled and waved goodbye. He was happy too. He had done his job and made some new friends.
+Ben and Mia are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They have a big box of cars, but they like the red one best. It is shiny and fast and has a loud horn.
+
+"Can I have the red car, please?" Mia asks Ben.
+
+"No, it is mine. You can have the blue one," Ben says.
+
+"But I want the red one. It is brilliant," Mia says.
+
+They start to tug on the car, each one trying to pull it away from the other. They do not see the wire that is on the ground. It is part of the fence that Dad is fixing. It is sharp and dangerous.
+
+The wire catches on the car and makes a big scratch. The car is not shiny anymore. It is broken. Ben and Mia stop pulling and look at the car. They feel sad and sorry.
+
+"Look what we did. We ruined the red car," Ben says.
+
+"It is not brilliant anymore. It is bad," Mia says.
+
+They hear Dad calling them from the house. He has a surprise for them. They leave the car on the ground and run to Dad. He has a big smile on his face.
+
+"Guess what? I have something for you. I went to the shop and I paid for two new cars. One for each of you. They are even better than the old one. They have lights and sounds and stickers. Do you want to see them?" Dad says.
+
+Ben and Mia nod and clap their hands. They are happy and excited. They hug Dad and thank him. They forget about the broken car. They only want to play with the new ones. They are brilliant.
+Ben and Mia were friends. They liked to draw with crayons on paper. One day, they found a big eraser in the classroom. It was white and soft. They wanted to play with it.
+
+"Let's see what it can do," Ben said. He took the eraser and rubbed it on his paper. The crayon marks disappeared. "Wow, it's magic!" he said.
+
+"Can I try?" Mia asked. She took the eraser and rubbed it on her paper. The crayon marks disappeared too. "It's fun!" she said.
+
+They took turns to erase their drawings. They laughed and smiled. They did not see the teacher coming.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" the teacher asked. She looked angry. She saw the eraser and the papers. "You are wasting the eraser and the paper. These are not toys. These are for learning. You should be ashamed of yourselves."
+
+Ben and Mia felt scared and sad. They did not mean to be bad. They wanted to say sorry, but they could not find the words.
+
+The teacher took the eraser and the papers. She threw them in the trash. She said they had to stay in the classroom and not play for the rest of the day.
+
+Ben and Mia cried. They wished they could rescue the eraser and the papers. They wished they could be friends again. They wished they could be happy again. But they could not. They had made a big mistake. They felt very ashamed.
+Lily was sad. She missed spring. Spring was when the flowers were pretty and the birds sang. Spring was when she could play outside with her friends and have picnics. But now it was winter. Winter was cold and gray. Winter was when the snow covered everything and the wind blew hard. Winter was when she had to stay inside and wear thick clothes.
+
+One day, Lily saw a little bird on her window. The bird was cheerful. It hopped and chirped and looked at Lily. Lily smiled. She opened the window and said hello to the bird. The bird said hello back and flew inside. Lily was happy. She gave the bird some seeds and water and made a nest for it. The bird was happy too. It sang and flapped and cuddled with Lily.
+
+But then Lily's mom came home. She saw the bird and was angry. She said the bird was dirty and noisy and could make Lily sick. She said the bird had to go back outside. Lily was sad. She did not want to lose her friend. She begged her mom to let the bird stay. But her mom said no. She took the bird and put it on the window. The bird was sad too. It looked at Lily and cried.
+
+Lily cried too. She missed the bird. She missed spring. She wished winter would go away. She hugged her mom and said sorry. Her mom hugged her back and said sorry too. She said she loved Lily and wanted her to be safe and healthy. She said winter would not last forever. She said spring would come again. She said maybe the bird would come back too.
+
+Lily hoped so. She looked at the window and waved goodbye to the bird. The bird waved back and flew away. Lily felt a little better. She knew her mom was right. She knew spring would come again. She knew she would see the bird again. She knew she would be cheerful again. She just had to wait.
+Tom and Sue are playing in the garden. They see a wire on the ground. It is wet from the rain.
+
+"Look, a wire!" Tom says. "Can we play with it?"
+
+Sue shakes her head. "No, Tom. Wire is not a toy. It can hurt you."
+
+Tom does not understand. He wants to touch the wire. He reaches for it.
+
+"Tom, no!" Sue shouts. "Stop!"
+
+Sue runs to Tom and pulls him away. She is scared. She hugs him.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" she asks.
+
+Tom nods. He is okay. But he is confused.
+
+"Why can't I play with the wire?" he asks.
+
+Sue points to the house. She sees a hole in the wall. The wire is coming out of the hole.
+
+"The wire is from the house," she says. "It has power. Power can make light and heat. But power can also make zap and burn. If you touch the wire, you can get zapped and burned. That is bad. That is why you can't play with the wire."
+
+Tom looks at the wire. He looks at the hole. He looks at Sue. He thinks.
+
+"Oh," he says. "I understand. Wire is not a toy. Wire is dangerous. Thank you, Sue. You are a good friend."
+
+Sue smiles. She is happy. She is a good friend.
+
+They hold hands and go back to their toys. They play with their toys. They are safe. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and make funny noises. They have a big calendar on the wall with pictures of animals. Every day, they put a sticker on the calendar to show what day it is.
+
+One day, they hear a loud knock on the door. They run to see who it is. It is a man with a big bag. He says he is a friend of their mom and he has a surprise for them. He asks them to show him their calendar.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They think the man has a gift for them. They take him to their room and point to the calendar. The man smiles and says he likes their stickers. He asks them if they want to see what is in his bag.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are curious. The man opens his bag and takes out a big scissors. He says he has a funny game for them. He says he will cut their calendar into pieces and they have to put it back together.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They do not like this game. They say no and try to run away. But the man is faster. He grabs them and holds them tight. He says he is not a friend of their mom. He says he is a bad man and he will hurt them.
+
+Lily and Ben scream. They hope their mom will hear them and come to save them. But their mom is not home. She is at work. She does not know the man is in her house. She does not know he has a scissors. She does not know he has a bad plan. She does not know her twins are in danger.
+Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with a ball in the park. One day, they saw a big dog with black and white spots. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail.
+
+"Look, a spot dog!" Tom said. "What is his name?"
+
+"I don't know. Let's ask him," Sam said. He went near the dog and said, "Hello, dog. What is your name?"
+
+The dog barked and licked Sam's face. Sam laughed and petted the dog. "He likes me. He is a good dog."
+
+Tom was jealous. He wanted the dog to like him too. He picked up a lemon from a tree and threw it at the dog. "Catch, dog!" he said.
+
+The dog caught the lemon in his mouth. But the lemon was sour. The dog did not like the sour lemon. He spat out the lemon and growled at Tom. He was angry and hurt.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" the dog said. "Why did you do that? That was mean and bad. You are not my friend. You are a bad boy."
+
+The dog bit Tom's leg. Tom screamed and cried. He dropped the ball and ran away. Sam ran after him. He was scared and sorry.
+
+"Tom, Tom, wait!" Sam said. "Are you okay? I'm sorry. The dog was just playing. He did not know the lemon was sour. You should not have thrown it at him. That was not nice. You made him sad and mad."
+
+Tom did not listen. He was in pain and angry. He blamed Sam and the dog. He said, "Go away, Sam. You are not my friend. You are a spot dog lover. I hate you and the spot dog. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+Sam was sad and hurt. He did not understand why Tom was so mean and bad. He said, "Tom, please, don't say that. We are friends. We can share the dog. He is a good dog. He just needs some love and care. Please, come back. Let's say sorry to the dog and play with the ball again."
+
+But Tom did not come back. He went home and told his mom what happened. His mom was angry and worried. She took him to the doctor and gave him a bandage and a medicine. She said, "Tom, you were very naughty and foolish. You should not have thrown a sour lemon at the dog. That was cruel and dangerous. You could have hurt the dog and yourself. You should apologize to the dog and to Sam. They are your friends. You should be kind and gentle to them. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded. He felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he was wrong and he missed his friends. He said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I want to say sorry to the dog and to Sam. Can we go back to the park tomorrow?"
+
+His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "Yes, we can. But you have to promise me you will never do that again. And you have to be nice and respectful to the dog and to Sam. And you have to learn his name. He is not just a spot dog. He is a living being with feelings and a personality. Do you promise?"
+
+Tom promised. He hoped the dog and Sam would forgive him and be his friends again. He learned his lesson. He learned that throwing sour things at others is not fun. It is mean and bad. He learned that being kind and gentle is better. He learned that friends are precious and should be treated well. He learned that everyone has a name and deserves respect. He learned that spot dogs are good dogs.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were dinosaurs. Ben was a big T-rex and Lily was a small triceratops. They roared and ran and had fun.
+
+Then, a boy came to the park. He had a toy dinosaur in his hand. It was a blue stegosaurus. Ben saw the toy and wanted it. He ran to the boy and said, "Give me your dinosaur!"
+
+The boy was scared and said, "No, this is mine! Go away!"
+
+Ben was rude. He did not listen. He grabbed the toy and pulled hard. The boy cried and tried to hold on. The toy broke in two. Ben had one part and the boy had the other.
+
+Lily saw what Ben did and was angry. She said, "Ben, that was mean! You broke his toy! You should say sorry!"
+
+Ben did not say sorry. He said, "I don't care. I wanted his dinosaur. It is mine now."
+
+Lily did not want to play with Ben anymore. She went to the boy and said, "I am sorry. Ben was bad. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The boy nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, thank you. You are nice. What is your name?"
+
+Lily said, "I am Lily. What is your name?"
+
+The boy said, "I am Sam. Do you like dinosaurs?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I love dinosaurs. Do you want to pretend we are dinosaurs?"
+
+Sam said, "Yes, that sounds fun. What dinosaur do you want to be?"
+
+Lily said, "I want to be a triceratops. What about you?"
+
+Sam said, "I want to be a stegosaurus. We can be friends."
+
+They went to play and had fun. They roared and ran and pretended they were dinosaurs.
+
+Ben was alone. He had the broken toy. He was sad and sorry. He wished he had been nice. He wished he had friends. He wished he had a dinosaur.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but they do not like the same food. Anna likes fish, but Ben hates fish. He thinks fish are yucky and smelly.
+
+One day, Mom makes fish for dinner. She puts a big plate of fish on the table. Anna is happy, but Ben is not. He makes a face and says, "I do not want fish! I want pizza!"
+
+Mom is angry. She says, "Ben, you have to eat fish. Fish is good for you. It makes you strong and smart. You cannot have pizza every day."
+
+Ben does not listen. He pushes his plate away and says, "No, no, no! I hate fish! Fish is bad for me. It makes me sick and dumb. I only want pizza!"
+
+Anna is sad. She likes fish, but she does not like to see Mom and Ben fight. She says, "Ben, please try fish. Fish is yummy and nice. It does not make you sick or dumb. It makes you happy and fun. I will share my pizza with you if you eat fish."
+
+Ben looks at Anna. He loves his sister, but he hates fish. He does not know what to do. He feels ashamed. He knows he is being rude and mean. He says, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Anna. I was wrong. I will try fish. Maybe I will like it. Can I have some pizza too?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, Ben. You can have some pizza too. But you have to eat fish first. Thank you for being brave and kind. I am proud of you."
+
+Anna smiles too. She says, "Me too, Ben. I am proud of you. You are a good brother. I love you."
+
+Ben smiles back. He says, "I love you too, Anna. You are a good sister. Maybe fish is not so bad. Maybe I will like it more next time."
+Lily was a chubby girl who loved to read. She had many books in her room, but her favorite was the dictionary. She liked to learn new words and what they meant. She would point at the pictures and say the words out loud.
+
+One day, she took her dictionary to the park. She wanted to show it to her friend Max, who also liked to read. But when she got there, she saw a big boy with a kite. The kite was red and blue and had a long tail. It soared high in the sky, making Lily look up in wonder.
+
+"Wow, look at that kite!" Lily said to Max. "It is so big and pretty!"
+
+Max nodded. He liked the kite too. But the big boy heard them and came over. He had a mean face and a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with that book?" he asked Lily. "Books are boring. Kites are fun. Give me your book and I'll let you play with my kite."
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want to give up her dictionary. She loved it too much. She hugged it to her chest and shook her head.
+
+"No, this is my book. I like it. You can't have it!" she said.
+
+The big boy got angry. He tried to grab the book from Lily, but she held on tight. He pulled harder, but she did not let go. They started to tug and shout.
+
+"Give me that book!"
+
+"Leave me alone!"
+
+"Stop it!"
+
+"Help!"
+
+Max saw what was happening and ran to help Lily. He pushed the big boy away and stood in front of Lily. He was smaller than the big boy, but he was brave.
+
+"Go away, you bully!" he said. "You can't take Lily's book. It is hers. She can read whatever she wants. And kites are not the only fun thing. Books are fun too. They have words and stories and pictures. You should try to read them. Maybe you would learn something."
+
+The big boy was surprised. He did not expect Max to stand up to him. He looked at his kite, then at the book, then at Max and Lily. He felt a little ashamed. He realized he was being mean and rude.
+
+"Sorry," he mumbled. "I guess you're right. Books are fun too. I have some at home, but I don't read them much. Maybe I should. Can I see your book?"
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They saw that the big boy was sorry and curious. They decided to give him a chance. They nodded and smiled.
+
+"Sure, you can see it. It is a dictionary. It has many words and what they mean. Like this one: soar. It means to fly high and fast. Like your kite," Lily said.
+
+She opened the book and showed him the word and the picture. The big boy looked at it and repeated it.
+
+"Soar. Fly high and fast. Like my kite," he said.
+
+He smiled too. He learned a new word. He felt happy.
+
+"Thank you," he said. "That is a cool word. And a cool book. Can I show you my kite?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded and smiled again.
+
+"Sure, you can show us your kite. It is a cool kite. We would like to see it soar," they said.
+
+They followed the big boy to his kite. He let them hold it and run with it. The kite soared high and fast in the sky. They laughed and played together. They became friends. They learned that books and kites are both fun. And that sharing and being kind are better than fighting and being mean.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a big fire in the trees. They ran to see what was happening. They saw a wolf who was trapped by the fire. The wolf was angry and scared. He growled and snapped at the fire.
+
+"Help me, help me!" the wolf cried. "The fire will burn me!"
+
+Tim and Kim felt sorry for the wolf. They looked for a way to help him. They saw a big stick and a bucket of water. They had an idea.
+
+"Kim, you take the stick and push the fire away. I will take the bucket and splash water on the wolf. Maybe we can make a path for him to escape," Tim said.
+
+"OK, let's try," Kim said.
+
+They worked together to help the wolf. The wolf was impatient. He wanted to get out of the fire. He did not trust the twins. He thought they might hurt him.
+
+"Be careful, Tim and Kim. The wolf might bite you," a voice said.
+
+It was their dad. He had followed them to the woods. He saw what they were doing. He was proud of them, but also worried.
+
+"Dad, we are trying to help the wolf. He is in trouble. The fire will burn him," Tim said.
+
+"I know, but the wolf is wild. He does not know you are his friends. He might think you are his enemies. He might attack you," Dad said.
+
+The twins did not listen to Dad. They kept helping the wolf. They pushed the fire away and splashed water on the wolf. They made a path for him to escape. The wolf saw the path. He ran out of the fire. He was free.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" the wolf said. "You saved me. You are brave and kind. I will not forget you."
+
+The wolf ran away. He disappeared into the woods. The twins were happy. They had helped the wolf. They hugged each other.
+
+"Tim and Kim, you did a good thing. You helped the wolf. You showed him compassion. But you also took a big risk. The wolf could have hurt you. You have to be careful in the woods. There are dangers there. You have to listen to me. I want you to be safe," Dad said.
+
+"Sorry, Dad. We wanted to help the wolf. We did not want him to burn. We did not think he would bite us. We will listen to you next time. We love you," Tim and Kim said.
+
+Dad smiled. He hugged them. He was glad they were safe. He was glad they were good. He took them home. They had a big adventure. They learned a lot. They made a new friend. The wolf.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bird with brown feathers and a red thing on its neck. It was a turkey that had escaped from a farm.
+
+"Look, a turkey!" Tom said. "Let's catch it and take it home!"
+
+"No, Tom, that's not a good idea," Lily said. "The turkey might be scared or angry. And Mom and Dad will be mad if we bring a wild animal home."
+
+But Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran after the turkey, trying to grab it. The turkey ran away, making loud noises. Lily followed Tom, trying to stop him.
+
+"Tom, come back!" Lily shouted. "You're going too far! This park is big and we might get lost!"
+
+Tom did not hear Lily. He was too busy chasing the turkey. He did not see the sign that said "Danger: Cliff Ahead". He did not see the edge of the park, where the ground ended and the sky began. He did not see the harsh drop that waited for him.
+
+The turkey saw it, though. It stopped running and turned around. It looked at Tom with its small eyes. It seemed to remind him of something. Something bad.
+
+"Tom, watch out!" Lily screamed. But it was too late. Tom ran past the turkey and over the cliff. He fell and fell and fell. He did not catch the turkey. He did not go home. He did not play with Lily ever again.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big lake with ducks and boats. They are curious about the boats.
+
+"Can we go on a boat?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know. We need to ask a grown-up," Ben says.
+
+They look around and see a man with a hat. He has many boats. He gives a boat to people who give him money.
+
+"Hello, sir. Can we have a boat?" Anna asks the man.
+
+"Sure, you can. But you need to pay me one coin each," the man says.
+
+Anna and Ben have no coins. They are sad.
+
+"Can we have a boat for free?" Ben asks the man.
+
+"No, you can't. You need to pay me or go away," the man says.
+
+Anna and Ben are angry. They see a boat that no one is using. It has two oars. They decide to take the boat and row away.
+
+They get on the boat and start to row. They are happy. They see the ducks and the trees. They forget about the man.
+
+But the man sees them. He is angry. He gets on another boat and follows them. He shouts at them.
+
+"Hey, you! Stop! That's my boat! You need to give it back!" the man says.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They try to row faster. But the man is faster. He catches them. He takes the boat and the oars. He scolds them.
+
+"You are bad children! You need to learn to respect other people's things! You need to say sorry and go home!" the man says.
+
+Anna and Ben are ashamed. They say sorry and go home. They learn their lesson. They need to be honest and fair. They need to ask before they take. They need to be good friends.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a colorful wool scarf that she likes to wrap around her neck. Ben has a toy car that he likes to zoom around the floor.
+
+"Look at my scarf, Ben!" Sara says. "It is so soft and warm and pretty. It has many colors, like red and blue and yellow and green."
+
+"I like your scarf, Sara," Ben says. "But my car is more fun. It can go fast and make noises. Vroom, vroom!"
+
+Sara and Ben play happily for a while, until they hear their mom calling them.
+
+"Kids, it's time for a bath!" Mom says. "Come on, let's go to the bathroom and get clean."
+
+Sara and Ben put down their toys and run to the bathroom. Mom fills the tub with warm water and bubbles. Sara and Ben take off their clothes and jump into the tub. They splash and giggle and wash each other's hair.
+
+"Mom, can I wear my scarf in the bath?" Sara asks.
+
+"No, sweetie, you can't," Mom says. "Your scarf is made of wool, and wool gets wet and heavy and itchy in the water. You have to keep it dry, or it will get ruined."
+
+"Oh, I see," Sara says. "I don't want to ruin my scarf. I will leave it here, on the chair."
+
+"Good girl," Mom says. "And Ben, you can't bring your car in the bath either. Your car has batteries, and batteries don't like water. They can get damaged and stop working. You have to keep them dry, too."
+
+"OK, Mom," Ben says. "I will leave my car here, on the table."
+
+"Good boy," Mom says. "Now, let's enjoy the bath and have some fun."
+
+Sara and Ben play with the bubbles and the rubber ducks and the foam letters. They make shapes and words and stories. They have a lot of fun in the bath, but they also remember to keep their wool scarf and their toy car dry. They love their toys, and they want to take good care of them.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to look for pebbles of different colors and shapes. They had a small bucket to put their pebbles in.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a red pebble!" Ben said, holding up a shiny stone. "It is very pretty. Can I have it?"
+
+Lily nodded. "Yes, you can have it. I don't mind. I have many pebbles too." She smiled and showed him her bucket.
+
+They continued to look for more pebbles, until they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was barking loudly and wagging its tail. It looked friendly, but Lily and Ben were scared.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouted, grabbing his bucket and running away. Lily followed him, but she dropped her bucket by accident. All her pebbles spilled on the ground.
+
+The dog reached the pebbles and sniffed them. It picked up one of them with its mouth and ran away.
+
+Lily and Ben stopped and looked back. They saw the dog running away with Lily's pebble. It was the blue one, her favorite one.
+
+Lily felt sad. She wanted her pebble back. She started to cry.
+
+"Hey, don't cry, Lily," Ben said, hugging her. "It's just a pebble. You can find another one."
+
+"But I liked that pebble. It was special. It was blue like the sky," Lily said, wiping her tears.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I know how you feel. But maybe the dog liked it too. Maybe it was sad and lonely and needed a friend. Maybe the pebble made it happy," Ben said, trying to cheer her up.
+
+Lily thought about it. She didn't want the dog to be sad and lonely. She wanted it to be happy. She smiled a little.
+
+"Maybe you're right, Ben. Maybe the dog needed the pebble more than me. I don't mind. I have you as my friend. And we can find more pebbles together," Lily said, holding Ben's hand.
+
+They walked back to the park, looking for more pebbles. They found a yellow one, a green one, and a purple one. They put them in their bucket and shared them. They were happy.
+Lily likes to draw. She has many colors of mark. She draws on paper, on books, on walls. Mommy says no, Lily. Only draw on paper. But Lily does not listen. She wants to draw everywhere.
+
+One day, Lily finds a new place to draw. It is the bathroom. The bathroom has white tiles and a big mirror. Lily thinks it is a good place to make art. She takes her mark and starts to draw on the tiles and the mirror. She draws flowers, stars, hearts, and her name. She is happy.
+
+But Mommy is not happy. She comes to the bathroom and sees Lily's art. She sees the mark on the tiles and the mirror. She sees the mark on Lily's hands and face. She says, Lily, what did you do? This is a big mess. You are a messy girl. You have to clean this up.
+
+Lily feels sad. She did not want to make Mommy angry. She says, sorry, Mommy. I just wanted to draw. I like to draw. Mommy says, I know, Lily. Drawing is fun. But you have to draw on paper, not on the bathroom. The bathroom is not for drawing. It is for washing and brushing and going potty.
+
+Mommy gives Lily a cloth and some soap. She helps Lily clean the tiles and the mirror. She helps Lily wash her hands and face. She says, Lily, next time, ask me before you draw. I can give you paper and a place to draw. And I can see your art and say, good job, Lily. You are a good artist. Lily says, okay, Mommy. I will ask you. I love you, Mommy. Mommy says, I love you, too, Lily. They hug and smile.
+Jen and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big orange ball. They want to play with it.
+
+"Can we play with the ball?" Jen asks Tom.
+
+"Yes, let's play with the ball!" Tom says.
+
+They run to the ball. They kick it and throw it. They have fun.
+
+But then, they see a sharp stick. It is on the ground. Tom does not see it. He steps on it. He cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Tom says.
+
+Jen runs to Tom. She sees the stick. She pulls it out. She hugs Tom.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" Jen says.
+
+"It still hurts, Jen. But thank you. You are a good friend." Tom says.
+
+Jen and Tom go to the bench. They sit down. They look at the ball. It is still orange. But it has a hole. It is not round anymore.
+
+They are sad. They cannot play with the ball anymore.
+
+But then, they hear music. It is from the ice cream truck. It is a happy song.
+
+They look at each other. They smile.
+
+"Can we get ice cream?" Jen asks Tom.
+
+"Yes, let's get ice cream!" Tom says.
+
+They get up. They run to the truck. They get ice cream. They lick it. It is cold and sweet.
+
+They feel better. They forget about the ball and the stick.
+
+They start to dance. They dance to the music. They laugh and spin.
+
+They are happy. They are friends. They like to dance.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with many ducks. Lily loved ducks and wanted to feed them bread. Ben liked ducks too, but he also liked to perform tricks for them. He took out his bike and said, "Look, Lily, I can ride my bike with no hands and make the ducks clap for me!"
+
+Lily watched as Ben rode his bike around the pond, waving his hands and shouting, "Ta-da! Ta-da!" Some of the ducks looked at him and quacked, but most of them ignored him and kept swimming or eating bread. Lily thought Ben was being silly and said, "Ben, stop that! You are scaring the ducks! They don't like your tricks, they like bread!"
+
+Ben felt angry and said, "No, Lily, you are wrong! The ducks love my tricks, they are just shy! You are just envious because you can't do what I can do!" He rode his bike faster and louder, trying to impress the ducks and make Lily jealous.
+
+But then, he made a big mistake. He rode his bike too close to the edge of the pond and lost his balance. He fell into the water with a splash, and his bike sank to the bottom. The ducks quacked louder and swam away from him. Ben felt wet and cold and scared. He cried, "Help! Help! Lily, help me!"
+
+Lily ran to the edge of the pond and reached out her hand. She said, "Ben, grab my hand! I will pull you out!" Ben grabbed her hand and she pulled him out of the water. He was shivering and sobbing. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was wrong. You were right. The ducks don't like my tricks, they like bread. And you are not envious, you are kind. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Of course, Ben. I forgive you. You are my friend. But next time, please be careful and don't perform tricks near the pond. It is dangerous and not fun. Come on, let's go home and get dry. And maybe we can come back another day and feed the ducks bread together."
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are the best. And maybe I can teach you how to ride a bike with no hands someday. But not near the pond. Somewhere safe and fun."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged and walked home, holding hands. The ducks watched them and quacked happily. They hoped they would come back soon and bring more bread.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy trucks. They have a big pile of sand in the backyard. They use their trucks to load the sand and dump it in different places.
+
+One day, Ben sees a shiny rock in the sand. He picks it up and puts it in his truck. He thinks it is a treasure. He wants to show it to Sam.
+
+"Look, Sam, look what I found!" Ben says. He drives his truck to Sam and dumps the sand and the rock.
+
+Sam looks at the rock. He likes it too. He wants to have it. He grabs the rock from Ben's truck.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Ben says. He tries to get the rock back from Sam.
+
+"No, it's mine now!" Sam says. He holds the rock tight.
+
+Ben and Sam start to fight. They pull and push each other. They yell and cry.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the backyard. She sees Ben and Sam fighting over the rock.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom asks. She is not happy.
+
+"Sam took my rock!" Ben says.
+
+"Ben dumped his sand on me!" Sam says.
+
+Mom looks at the rock. She sees that it is not a treasure. It is just a piece of glass. She sees that it has a sharp edge. She is worried.
+
+"Boys, this is not a rock. This is a piece of glass. It can hurt you. You should not play with it." Mom says. She takes the glass from Sam and throws it in the trash.
+
+Ben and Sam stop fighting. They look at the glass in the trash. They feel sad. They both wanted the glass.
+
+Mom sees their sad eyes. She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+"I'm sorry, boys. I know you liked the glass. But it is not safe. You have many other toys to play with. And you have each other. You should not fight over things. You should share and be nice." Mom says.
+
+Ben and Sam nod. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up.
+
+"Can we play with our trucks again?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, let's play." Sam says.
+
+They take their trucks and go back to the sand pile. They load and dump the sand. They have fun. They are happy.
+Timmy likes to play sport with his friends at the park. He likes to run and kick the ball and catch the frisbee. But Timmy is chubby and sometimes he gets tired and out of breath. His friends are faster and stronger than him and they tease him for being slow and fat.
+
+One day, Timmy decides to try a new sport. He sees some kids riding bikes on a dirt track. He thinks it looks fun and exciting. He asks his mom if he can borrow a bike and she says yes. She helps him put on a helmet and gloves and shows him how to pedal and brake.
+
+Timmy rides to the park and finds the dirt track. He sees the other kids zooming up and down the hills and jumping over the bumps. He wants to join them, but he feels nervous. He thinks they will laugh at him or push him off his bike. He stays on the side and watches.
+
+"Hey, you! Do you want to try?" A boy with a red bike calls out to Timmy. He has a friendly smile and a dirt-stained face. "It's fun, come on!"
+
+Timmy hesitates, but then he nods. He rides his bike to the start of the track. He feels his heart beating fast and his palms sweating. He looks at the hills and the bumps and wonders if he can do it.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" The boy with the red bike says and pedals away. Timmy follows him, trying to keep up. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his skin. He feels the bike bouncing and shaking under him. He feels scared, but also happy.
+
+He manages to go up the first hill, but then he loses his balance and falls down. He scrapes his knee and his elbow and his bike gets a dent. He feels a sting and a throb and a tear in his eye. He thinks he can't do it. He thinks he wants to go home.
+
+"Are you okay?" The boy with the red bike comes back to him. He helps him get up and checks his bike. "Don't worry, it happens to everyone. You did great for your first time. You just need to practice more. Do you want to try again?"
+
+Timmy looks at the boy and then at the track. He feels a spark and a hope and a smile in his heart. He thinks he can do it. He thinks he wants to try again.
+
+He nods and wipes his tear. He gets on his bike and pedals to the start of the track. He looks at the hills and the bumps and says to himself: "I can do this. I like this sport. I am not slow and fat. I am brave and strong."
+
+He follows the boy with the red bike and tries again. He falls down a few more times, but he also manages to go faster and smoother and higher. He laughs and cheers and makes new friends. He has fun and learns a new sport. He feels proud and happy and free.
+Lily and Ben love to play with their rocket. It is big and red and makes a loud noise when they push a button. They pretend to fly to the moon and the stars and see many things.
+
+One day, they find a jolly green frog in their garden. The frog hops and croaks and makes them laugh. They want to be friends with the frog and show him their rocket.
+
+"Hello, frog," Lily says. "Do you want to play with us? We have a rocket. It is fun and fast."
+
+The frog looks at the rocket and nods. He hops on the rocket and sits next to Ben. Lily and Ben push the button and the rocket zooms off.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" the frog says. "I can see the sky and the clouds and the birds. Thank you for taking me on your rocket."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They are happy to share their rocket with the frog. They fly around the garden and have a great time.
+
+But soon, it is time to go inside. Lily and Ben's mom calls them for lunch. They land the rocket and get off.

+"Bye, frog," Lily says. "We had fun with you. Do you want to stay with us?"
+
+The frog thinks for a moment. He likes Lily and Ben and their rocket, but he also misses his home and his family. He decides to go back to the pond.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Ben," the frog says. "You are very kind and jolly. But I have to go now. I have to find my mom and dad and my brothers and sisters. Maybe we can play again another day."
+
+Lily and Ben understand. They hug the frog and say goodbye. They watch him hop away and wave. They are sad to see him go, but they are glad they made a new friend. They take their rocket inside and tell their mom about their adventure.
+Tommy loved his bicycle. It was red and shiny and had a bell. He rode it every day to the park, where he met his friend Lily. Lily had a pink bicycle with a basket. They liked to race and play together.
+
+One day, Tommy saw a big truck in front of his house. It had a sign that said "Moving". His mom and dad were putting boxes and bags inside the truck. Tommy felt sad and scared. He did not want to move. He liked his home and his park and his friend.
+
+"Mom, where are we going?" he asked.
+
+"We are going to a new place, Tommy. A place with a bigger house and a bigger yard. You will like it there, I promise." his mom said.
+
+"But what about Lily? And my bicycle?" Tommy said.
+
+"Don't worry, Tommy. You can take your bicycle with you. And you can write letters to Lily and call her on the phone. Maybe you can visit her someday. And you will make new friends in the new place, too." his mom said.
+
+Tommy hoped his mom was right. He hoped he would like the new place. He hoped he would find a new park and a new friend. He hugged his bicycle and said goodbye to his house.
+
+The next day, Tommy and his family got in the car and followed the truck. They drove for a long time, until they reached a town with many old buildings. Tommy saw a castle on a hill and a bridge over a river. He thought it looked like a fairy tale.
+
+"Wow, this place is ancient!" he said.
+
+"Yes, it is, Tommy. It has a lot of history and stories. Maybe we can explore it together someday." his dad said.
+
+They arrived at their new house. It was bigger than their old one, and had a porch and a garage. Tommy's mom and dad helped him unload his bicycle and his toys. They showed him his new room, which had a window and a closet.
+
+"Look, Tommy, you have a nice view of the castle from here. Isn't it beautiful?" his mom said.
+
+Tommy looked out the window and saw the castle. He smiled. It was beautiful. He felt a little less sad and scared. He hoped he would have fun in the ancient town. He hoped he would see Lily again. He hoped he would ride his bicycle to the castle someday. He hoped he would be happy.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. They wanted to go and see them.
+
+"Let's go and wave to the ducks," Tom said. He took Mia's hand and they ran to the pond. They saw the ducks swimming and quacking. They waved and smiled. The ducks waved back with their wings.
+
+But there was something else in the pond. Something small and mean. It was a mosquito. It saw Tom and Mia and flew to them. It wanted to bite them and make them itch.
+
+The mosquito landed on Tom's arm. Tom felt a sting and said, "Ow!" He looked and saw the mosquito. He tried to slap it, but it was too fast. It flew away and laughed.
+
+"Bad mosquito!" Mia said. She was angry. She wanted to help Tom. She had an idea. She saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up and said, "I have a plan."
+
+She whispered her plan to Tom. Tom nodded and smiled. He was brave and honest. He trusted Mia.
+
+They went back to the pond. They waved to the ducks again. The ducks waved back. The mosquito saw them and flew to them again. It thought they were silly and easy.
+
+But this time, Mia was ready. She waited for the mosquito to land on Tom's arm. Then she swung the stick and hit the mosquito. The mosquito fell into the pond and splashed. The fish saw the mosquito and ate it. The mosquito was gone.
+
+Tom and Mia cheered. They hugged and said, "We did it!" They thanked the ducks and the fish. They were happy and proud. They waved goodbye to the pond and went back to play. They had a fun and safe day.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cage with an animal inside. The animal is brown and furry. It has sharp teeth and claws. It looks angry and scared.
+
+"Wow, look at that animal!" Tom says. "It is a bear. I want to touch it."
+
+"No, Tom, don't touch it!" Sam says. "It is rough and dangerous. It can hurt you. We should leave it alone."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He runs to the cage and puts his hand inside. The bear growls and bites Tom's hand. Tom screams and pulls his hand back. It is bleeding and hurting.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom cries. "The bear bit me!"
+
+Sam runs to Tom and hugs him. He is scared and sorry. He sees a man with a hat and a badge. The man is a park ranger. He comes to help them.
+
+"What are you doing here, boys?" the man asks. "This is a wild animal. It does not belong in the park. Someone put it here to sell it. That is bad and wrong. I am here to release it and take it back to the forest."
+
+"Please, release it, mister," Sam says. "We are sorry. We did not know. We will not touch it again."
+
+The man nods and opens the cage. The bear runs out and follows the man to his truck. The man gives Tom a bandage and a candy. He tells them to be careful and to respect animals.
+
+Tom and Sam say thank you and goodbye. They go home with their mom. They learn a lesson. They will not touch rough animals again. They will only look at them from far away.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Tom sees a new toy in Jen's room. It is a shiny car that makes noises.
+
+"Can I play with your car?" Tom requests Jen.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It is my favorite toy," Jen says.
+
+Tom takes the car and makes it zoom on the floor. He likes the car very much. He wants to keep it for himself. He thinks of a plan.
+
+He puts the car in his mouth and pretends to cough. He runs to the bathroom.
+
+"Are you OK, Tom?" Jen asks.
+
+"I am OK. I just need some water," Tom lies.
+
+He goes to the bathroom and hides the car in his pocket. He thinks he is lucky. He smiles.
+
+But he is not lucky. The car is not a good toy to put in the mouth. It has small parts that can break and hurt. One of the parts gets stuck in Tom's throat. He starts to choke. He cannot breathe. He cannot call for help.
+
+Jen hears Tom make strange noises. She runs to the bathroom. She sees Tom on the floor. He is blue and still. She screams.
+
+Jen's mom hears Jen scream. She runs to the bathroom. She sees Tom on the floor. She calls 911. She tries to help Tom. But it is too late. Tom is gone.
+
+Jen is very sad. She cries. She misses Tom. She wishes he did not take her car. She wishes he did not lie. She wishes he did not die.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a lot of ants on the ground. They wanted to do something with the ants.
+
+"Let's make a house for the ants," Lily said. "We can use sticks and leaves and stones."
+
+"OK," Tom said. "But we have to be polite to the ants. We can't hurt them or take them away."
+
+They worked hard to make a nice house for the ants. They left some crumbs and water for the ants to eat and drink. They watched the ants go in and out of the house.
+
+"Look, the ants are happy," Lily said. "They are saying thank you to us."
+
+"How do you know?" Tom asked.
+
+"I can hear them," Lily said. "They are making tiny noises. Listen."
+
+Tom listened. He heard some faint sounds. He smiled.
+
+"Maybe you are right," he said. "Maybe the ants are polite too."
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the barn. They had many toys and books there. But the barn was very messy. Toys and books were everywhere. Mom and Dad said they had to organize the barn or they could not play there anymore.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily decided to organize the barn. They found a big barrel in the corner. It was tall and round. They thought it was a good place to put their toys. They started to fill the barrel with their toys. They put their cars, dolls, balls, and blocks in the barrel. They were happy to see the barn getting cleaner.
+
+But they did not know that the barrel was not empty. It had something inside. Something that did not like to be disturbed. Something that made a loud noise.
+
+"ROAR!" The barrel roared. Tom and Lily jumped back. They were scared. They saw a big head pop out of the barrel. It had fur, teeth, and ears. It was a bear!
+
+The bear was angry. It did not like to share its barrel with toys. It wanted to sleep in the barrel. It growled at Tom and Lily. It tried to get out of the barrel.
+
+Tom and Lily ran out of the barn. They screamed for Mom and Dad. They told them about the bear in the barrel. Mom and Dad did not believe them at first. They thought it was a joke. But then they heard the roar. They saw the bear. They called the animal control. They helped the bear find a new home.
+
+Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They learned to check before they organize. They learned to be careful with barrels. They learned to respect bears. They also learned to keep the barn clean. They did not want to find any more surprises in the barn.
+Sara and Mom went to the grocery store. Sara liked to help Mom put things in the cart. She saw a big cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. She wanted the cake very much. She asked Mom, "Can we get the cake, please?"
+
+Mom looked at the cake and shook her head. "No, Sara, we can't get the cake. We have enough food at home. The cake is too much sugar and too expensive. Maybe we can make a cake another day."
+
+Sara felt sad and angry. She did not want to wait for another day. She wanted the cake now. She started to cry and scream. She threw herself on the floor. She frown
+Tom and Sam were playing in the park. They saw a big man with a pistol in his hand. He was running away from a police car. The man looked guilty and scared.
+
+"Look, Sam, he has a pistol!" Tom said. "That is bad. He must have done something wrong."
+
+"Let's follow him, Tom," Sam said. "Maybe we can help the police catch him."
+
+They ran after the man, but they were not fast enough. The man saw them and turned around. He pointed the pistol at them and shouted.
+
+"Go away, you little brats! Or I will shoot you!"
+
+Tom and Sam were very afraid. They screamed and ran back to the park. They saw a policeman running towards them. He had a badge and a radio.
+
+"Are you okay, kids?" the policeman asked. "Did he hurt you?"
+
+"No, sir, he did not hurt us," Tom said. "But he has a pistol and he is very angry. He went that way."
+
+"Thank you, kids, you are very brave," the policeman said. "But don't follow him again. He is dangerous. Stay here and wait for me. I will catch him and take him to jail."
+
+The policeman ran after the man with the pistol. Tom and Sam waited in the park. They hugged each other and hoped the policeman would be safe. They felt sorry for the man with the pistol. He must have been very unhappy to do something so bad.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play together. But today they disagree. Lily wants to play with the dolls. Max wants to play with the cars.
+
+"No, I want to play with the dolls!" Lily says.
+
+"No, I want to play with the cars!" Max says.
+
+They are both angry. They do not want to share.
+
+Mom sees them. She is not happy. She has a job to do. She needs to cook dinner. She does not want to hear them fight.
+
+"Stop it, Lily and Max!" Mom says. "You are not being nice. You need to share. Playing with dolls and cars is ordinary. Why don't you try something new?"
+
+She gives them a big box. The box is empty. But it has many colors and shapes on it.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asks.
+
+"It is a magic box!" Mom says. "You can use your imagination. You can make anything you want with it. A castle, a spaceship, a zoo, anything!"
+
+Lily and Max look at the box. They are curious. They forget to disagree. They start to play with the box. They make a castle with a spaceship and a zoo. They have fun. They are happy.
+
+Mom smiles. She is glad. She goes back to her job. She thinks Lily and Max are not ordinary. They are special.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red truck. They liked to push it around the room and make loud noises. Sometimes they fought over who could play with the truck, and their parent had to tell them to share.
+
+One day, their parent baked a delicious cake for their birthday. It smelled so good and looked so pretty. Sara and Ben were very excited to eat the cake. Their parent said they could each have a big slice, but they had to wait until after dinner.
+
+Sara and Ben agreed to wait, but they were very hungry. They decided to play with the truck to pass the time. But soon they started to argue again. Sara wanted to drive the truck, and Ben wanted to honk the horn. They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other. Their parent heard the noise and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"Sara and Ben, what are you doing?" their parent asked. "You are supposed to share the truck, not fight over it. Don't you know that sharing is caring? If you can't share the truck, you can't share the cake either."
+
+Sara and Ben stopped fighting and looked at their parent. They did not want to miss the cake. They felt sorry for being mean to each other. They said they were sorry and hugged each other. They agreed to take turns with the truck and play nicely.
+
+Their parent smiled and said they were proud of them. They said they could have the cake now, since they learned their lesson. Sara and Ben were very happy and thanked their parent. They cut the cake and shared it with each other. It was the most delicious cake they ever had. They learned that sharing was not only caring, but also fun.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they find a big red tie in Tim's dad's closet. They think it is funny and want to try it on.
+
+"Let's do a game with the tie," Tim says. "You be the boss and I be the worker."
+
+"OK," Sam says. He puts the tie around his neck and pretends to talk on the phone. "Hello, this is the boss. I need you to do some work for me."
+
+Tim nods and pretends to write on a paper. He looks at the tie and thinks it is very long and shiny. He wants to touch it and feel it. He reaches out his hand and pulls the tie.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Sam says. He feels the tie getting tighter and tighter. He tries to loosen it but he can't. He starts to cough and gasp. "Help, help!"
+
+Tim gets scared and lets go of the tie. He sees Sam turning red and blue. He runs to the door and calls for Tim's mom. "Mom, mom, something is wrong with Sam!"
+
+Tim's mom comes in and sees Sam choking on the tie. She quickly unties it and helps Sam breathe. She hugs Sam and asks him if he is OK. She looks at Tim and sees him crying.
+
+"Tim, what did you do?" she asks. "Why did you pull the tie?"
+
+Tim feels guilty and sorry. He did not mean to hurt Sam. He just wanted to play with the tie. He says in a small voice, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Sam. I did a bad thing. I won't do it again."
+
+Tim's mom sighs and shakes her head. She is angry and sad. She says, "Tim, you have to be careful with things that are not yours. You could have hurt Sam very badly. You have to say sorry to Sam and to dad. And you have to give back the tie."
+
+Tim nods and wipes his tears. He walks to Sam and hugs him. He says, "I'm sorry, Sam. You are my friend. I don't want to hurt you."
+
+Sam hugs him back and says, "It's OK, Tim. I'm OK. You are my friend. But don't pull the tie again."

+
+They run to the truck and wave to the driver. The driver smiles and gives them each a lemon. He says, "Here you go, boys. These are fresh lemons. They are good for you."
+
+Tom and Sam say, "Thank you, sir." They peel the lemons and take a bite. They make a funny face. The lemons are sour. They are not sweet like candy. They do not like the lemons.
+
+They spit out the lemons and throw them away. They run back to their ball. They say, "Let's play football. Football is better than lemons."
+
+They kick the ball to each other and run fast. They have fun. They forget about the sour lemons.

+
+One day, she was playing with her toys in the playground. She saw a new boy sitting alone on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. Sara wanted to be nice to him, so she went to him and said, "Hi, I'm Sara. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The boy looked at her and said, "No, go away. I don't like you. You have too many toys. You are greedy and selfish."
+
+Sara felt hurt and angry. She said, "No, I'm not. I like to share my toys with my friends. You are mean and rude."
+
+The boy got up and pushed Sara. Sara fell down and hit her head on a rock. She started to cry and bleed. The other kids saw what happened and ran to help her. They called the teacher and the nurse.
+
+Soon, an ambulance came to take Sara to the hospital. The boy watched as Sara was carried away on a stretcher. He felt sorry and scared. He wished he had not pushed her. He wished he had been nice to her. He wished he had a friend like Sara. But it was too late. Sara was gone. And he was alone.

+
+The car hit Tim and Lily. They fell down and did not get up. The dove saw them and felt sad. It flew back to the tree and hid. It did not want to play anymore.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But they do not like to bathe. They think bath time is boring and cold.
+
+One day, Mom says, "It is time to bathe, Lily and Ben. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." Lily and Ben make a face. They do not want to go. They hide under the bed.
+
+Mom looks for them. She sees their feet under the bed. She says, "I see you, Lily and Ben. Come out, please. Bath time can be fun. I have a surprise for you." Lily and Ben are curious. They come out from under the bed.
+
+Mom takes them to the bathroom. She fills the tub with warm water. She puts some bubbles and toys in the water. She says, "Look, Lily and Ben. I have a new tap for you. It is a sweet tap. It makes the water smell like candy. Do you want to try it?" Lily and Ben nod. They like candy.
+
+Mom turns on the sweet tap. The water smells like chocolate and strawberry. Lily and Ben smile. They get into the tub. They splash and play with the bubbles and toys. They smell the sweet water.

+Tom and Mia like to play with their toy bow and arrow. They have a big box with many arrows of different colors. Tom likes the red arrows and Mia likes the purple arrows. They take turns to shoot the arrows at a target on the wall.
+
+"Look, I hit the middle!" Tom says, pointing at his red arrow.
+
+"Good job, Tom! Now it's my turn!" Mia says, picking up a purple arrow.
+
+She pulls the string and lets go of the arrow. But the arrow does not fly straight. It flies up and hits the ceiling. Then it falls down and lands on Tom's head.
+
+"Ow!" Tom says, rubbing his head. "That hurt!"
+
+"Sorry, Tom! I did not mean to hit you!" Mia says, running to him. "Are you okay?"
+
+Tom looks at the purple arrow on the floor. He picks it up and smiles.
+

+

+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with many flowers and trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Tom!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find a bird or a bug or a shiny rock!"
+
+"OK, Lily, but we have to be careful," Tom said. "The hill is very high and steep. We don't want to fall and get hurt."
+
+They held hands and started to climb the hill. They saw many pretty things on the way, like a butterfly, a mushroom, and a pine cone. They also heard many sounds, like a bee, a squirrel, and a wind.
+
+When they reached the top of the hill, they were very happy. They could see the whole park and the sky and the sun. They also saw a big pond with ducks and fish.
+
+"Look, Tom, look!" Lily said. "The pond is so blue and shiny! Can we go and see the ducks?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, but we have to be careful," Tom said. "The pond is very deep and wet. We don't want to slip and get wet."
+
+They walked down the hill and towards the pond. They saw many ducks swimming and quacking. They also saw a big sign that said "Do not feed the ducks".
+
+"What does that mean, Tom?" Lily asked.
+
+"It means we can't give the ducks any food," Tom said. "Maybe the food is bad for them, or maybe they have enough food already."
+
+"Oh, I see," Lily said. "But can we talk to the ducks?"
+
+"I guess so, Lily, but we have to be careful," Tom said. "The ducks might not like our voice, or they might think we are food."
+
+They went closer to the pond and said hello to the ducks. The ducks looked at them and quacked back. Tom and Lily thought the ducks were friendly and cute.
+
+They decided to sit on the edge of the pond and watch the ducks. They talked to each other and to the ducks. They were having a lot of fun.
+
+But they did not notice that one duck was getting closer and closer to them. It was a big duck with a red beak and a green head. It did not like their voice, and it thought they were food.
+
+Suddenly, the duck jumped out of the water and bit Lily's finger. Lily screamed and pulled her hand back. Tom screamed too and pushed the duck away.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "The duck bit me! It hurts!"
+
+"Are you OK, Lily?" Tom asked. "Let me see your finger."
+
+He looked at her finger and saw a small cut and some blood. He wrapped his scarf around her finger and hugged her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry," he said. "We should have been more careful. The duck was mean and hungry."
+
+"It's OK, Tom, it's OK," she said. "You were brave and helped me. The duck was bad and silly."
+
+They got up and ran away from the pond. They did not want to see the ducks anymore. They wanted to go home and see their mom.
+
+They found their mom at the park gate. She saw their scared faces and Lily's scarf.
+
+"What happened, Tom and Lily?" she asked. "Did you have fun?"
+
+They told her everything that happened. They told her about the hill, the pond, and the duck. They showed her Lily's finger.
+
+Mom hugged them and kissed them. She said they were very brave and smart. She said she was proud of them. She said she would take them to the doctor and get them a treat.
+
+Tom and Lily felt better. They smiled and thanked their mom. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with ducks.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. Tim has a new gear. It is a big ball with many colors. Sam wants to play with the ball too, but Tim says no. He says it is his ball and he can do what he wants.
+
+Sam is sad and angry. He thinks Tim is not a good friend. He waits for a chance to get the ball. When Tim is not looking, Sam runs and kicks the ball hard. The ball flies away from the park and into the street. Tim sees what Sam did and shouts at him. He runs after the ball.
+
+But the street is busy. There are many cars and trucks. They are fast and loud. Tim does not see a tall truck coming. The truck hits the ball and the ball pops. The truck also hits Tim and Tim falls down. He does not get up.
+
+Sam sees what happened and feels sorry. He runs to Tim and cries. He says he is sorry and he did not mean to hurt him. He says he just wanted to play with the ball. But Tim does not hear him. He is still and quiet. He does not play anymore.
+Lily and Max went to the toy store with Mom. Lily saw a pink doll that she liked very much. She asked Mom if she could have it.
+
+"Please, Mom, can I have the pink doll? She is so pretty and soft!" Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at the price tag and shook her head. "Sorry, Lily, but the pink doll is too expensive. We have to pay a lot of money for it. Maybe you can choose another toy that is cheaper."
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She did not want another toy. She wanted the pink doll. She started to cry and scream. "No, no, no! I want the pink doll! I want it now!"
+
+Max was impatient. He did not like Lily's noise. He wanted to go home and play with his cars. He saw a blue ball that he liked. He asked Mom if he could have it.
+
+"Please, Mom, can I have the blue ball? It is so fun and bouncy!" Max said.
+
+Mom looked at the price tag and smiled. "Sure, Max, you can have the blue ball. It is not expensive. We can pay a little money for it."
+
+Max was very happy and thanked Mom. He took the blue ball and bounced it on the floor. He said to Lily, "Look, Lily, I have a blue ball. It is better than your pink doll. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily stopped crying and looked at Max's ball. She thought it was boring and silly. She did not want to play with him. She wanted the pink doll. She said to Max, "No, Max, I don't want to play with you. Your blue ball is stupid and ugly. I want the pink doll. She is the best toy ever."
+
+Mom sighed and took Lily and Max by the hand. She paid for the blue ball and left the toy store. She hoped that Lily would calm down and learn to share. She hoped that Max would be kind and patient. She hoped that they would both be happy with what they had.
+Lily was a gifted girl who loved to read. She knew many words and liked to learn new ones. She had a big book of stories that she read every night before bed.
+
+One day, she found a new story in her book. It was about a boy who could feed animals with his words. He would say nice things to them and they would come closer and eat from his hand. He fed birds, squirrels, rabbits, and even a deer. Lily thought he was very kind and brave.
+
+She wanted to try it too. She went to the park with her mom and took some bread. She saw some ducks in the pond and said, "Hello, ducks. You are very pretty and smart. Do you want some bread?" The ducks quacked and swam to her. She broke the bread and fed them with her words.
+
+She saw a dog on a leash and said, "Hello, dog. You are very strong and friendly. Do you want some bread?" The dog wagged his tail and licked her hand. She gave him a piece of bread and fed him with her words.
+
+She saw a cat on a bench and said, "Hello, cat. You are very soft and graceful. Do you want some bread?" The cat meowed and rubbed her head on her leg. She gave her a piece of bread and fed her with her words.
+
+Lily was very happy. She felt like she had made new friends. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you for the book, mom. It is the best gift ever. I love to feed animals with my words." Her mom smiled and said, "You are very gifted, Lily. I love you very much." They went home and read more stories together.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they go with Mom and Dad to a restaurant. The restaurant has many tables and chairs, and people who bring food and drinks.
+
+Anna and Ben sit on a big chair with cushions. They see a menu on the table. The menu has pictures of food. Anna points to a picture of a pizza. She says, "I want pizza!" Ben points to a picture of a burger. He says, "I want burger!"
+
+Mom and Dad look at the menu too. They choose what they want. Then they call a person who works at the restaurant. The person says, "Hello, what can I get for you?" Mom and Dad tell the person what they want. The person writes it down and says, "Okay, your food will be ready soon."
+
+Anna and Ben are hungry. They wait for their food. They look around the restaurant. They see other people eating and talking. They see a big window with cars and trees outside. They see a shelf with books and toys.
+
+Anna has an idea. She says to Ben, "Let's go to the shelf and get a toy!" Ben says, "But Mom and Dad said we have to stay on the chair." Anna says, "It's okay, they won't see us. We'll be back soon." Ben says, "Okay, let's go."
+
+Anna and Ben get off the chair. They walk to the shelf. They see many toys. They see a doll, a car, a ball, a puzzle, and a teddy bear. Anna picks up the teddy bear. She says, "This is mine!" Ben picks up the car. He says, "This is mine!"
+
+They play with the toys. They forget about Mom and Dad. They forget about the food. They have fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud voice. The voice says, "Anna! Ben! Where are you?" It is Mom. She is angry. She sees Anna and Ben with the toys. She says, "What are you doing? You took the toys from the shelf? Those are not yours! You have to put them back!"
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They drop the toys. They run to Mom. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We just wanted to play." Mom says, "You should not take things that are not yours. That is wrong. You have to say sorry to the person who works at the restaurant. And you have to lie to me. You said you would stay on the chair. That is a lie. Lies are bad. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They are ashamed. They feel bad. They say, "We understand, Mom. We're sorry. We won't lie again." Mom says, "Okay, come with me. We'll go to the person and say sorry. Then we'll go back to the chair and eat our food. And we'll talk about this later."
+
+Anna and Ben follow Mom. They see the person who works at the restaurant. They say, "We're sorry, we took your toys. We won't do it again." The person says, "It's okay, I forgive you. But next time, you have to ask before you take something. And you have to listen to your Mom and Dad. They love you and they want you to be good."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Okay, thank you." They go back to the chair. They see their food on the table. It looks yummy. They say, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, for the food." Mom and Dad say, "You're welcome. We love you. But we're not happy with what you did. You have to learn from your mistake. And you have to be honest and respectful. Can you promise us that?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "We promise, Mom and Dad. We love you too. And we're sorry." Mom and Dad hug them. They say, "It's okay, we forgive you. But don't forget your promise. Now, let's eat and enjoy our food."
+
+Anna and Ben eat their food. They like it. They talk with Mom and Dad. They are happy. But they also remember their promise. They don't want to lie again. They want to be good.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They loved to see the birds, the flowers, the trees and the bugs. They wanted to learn more about nature and how it worked.
+
+One day, they found a big rock in the garden. It was round and smooth and had some spots on it. They wondered what was inside the rock. Maybe there was a treasure or a secret or a surprise. They decided to try to open the rock and reveal what was hidden.
+
+They got a hammer and a chisel from their dad's toolbox. They asked their mom if they could use them and she said yes, but to be careful and not hurt themselves. They took the tools and the rock to a safe place and started to hit the rock with the hammer and the chisel.
+
+They hit and hit and hit, but the rock did not break. They hit harder and harder and harder, but the rock did not crack. They hit with all their strength and all their might, but the rock did not budge. They were getting tired and frustrated and bored.
+
+Then, suddenly, the rock split in two. They were so excited and curious. They looked inside the rock and saw something shiny and sparkly and colorful. It was a crystal. A beautiful crystal that was shaped like a star. They gasped and smiled and cheered. They had found a treasure and a secret and a surprise.
+
+They picked up the crystal and held it in their hands. It felt smooth and cold and heavy. It reflected the sun and made rainbows on the ground. They felt happy and proud and amazed. They had learned something new about nature and how it worked.
+
+They ran to their mom and showed her their discovery. She hugged them and praised them and told them they were very clever and brave. She said the crystal was a geode, a special kind of rock that had crystals inside. She said they were very lucky and rare and beautiful.
+
+Anna and Ben thanked their mom and asked her if they could keep the geode. She said yes, of course, it was theirs to keep and cherish. They said they would put it in their room and look at it every day. They said they loved nature and how it worked.
+
+They were not fearful of the rock anymore. They were curious and happy and grateful. They had revealed a wonder and a mystery and a joy.
+Lily and Max were in the classroom. They liked to play with the blocks and make creative things. Lily made a big castle with a princess and a dragon. Max made a rocket with a spaceman and an alien.
+
+"Look at my castle!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and strong. No one can break it."
+
+"Look at my rocket!" Max said. "It is so fast and cool. It can fly to the moon and beyond."
+
+They were both proud of their things. But they also wanted to see what the other had made. They walked towards each other.
+
+"Can I play with your rocket?" Lily asked.
+
+"Can I play with your castle?" Max asked.
+
+They looked at each other. They both wanted to say yes, but they also did not want to give up their things. They felt a tug in their hearts.
+
+They remembered what their teacher had told them. "Sharing is caring. When you share, you make friends and have more fun. When you don't share, you make enemies and have less fun."
+
+They thought about it. They decided to listen to their teacher. They smiled at each other.
+
+"OK, you can play with my rocket," Max said.
+
+"OK, you can play with my castle," Lily said.
+
+They swapped their things. They were happy. They played together and had more fun. They learned to surrender their things and share with others. They became good friends.
+Lily was a brave girl who liked to play outside. She liked to run and jump and climb on the grass. She liked to see the flowers and the bugs and the birds. She liked to make friends with the animals.
+
+One day, she saw a big dog in the park. The dog was black and brown and had a loud bark. Lily wanted to pet the dog, but she was afraid. The dog looked angry and scary. Lily did not know what to do.
+
+Then, she saw a boy with a red ball. The boy was playing with the dog. He threw the ball and the dog ran to get it. The boy laughed and the dog wagged its tail. Lily saw that the dog was not angry and scary. The dog was happy and friendly.
+
+Lily wanted to play with the boy and the dog. She walked to them and said hello. The boy smiled and said his name was Ben. He said the dog's name was Max. He asked Lily if she wanted to play with them. Lily said yes.
+
+Lily, Ben, and Max played with the ball on the grass. They had fun and became friends. Lily learned that the dog was not mean, but gentle. She learned that the boy was not rude, but kind. She learned that she was brave and could make new friends. She learned to value the grass, the ball, and the dog. She was happy.
+Lily was a clumsy girl. She often tripped over her own feet, or spilled her juice, or knocked over things. She did not like being clumsy. She wanted to be graceful and neat like her big sister, Mia.
+
+One day, Lily saw Mia practicing ballet in the living room. Mia wore a pretty pink dress and danced on her toes. She looked like a fairy. Lily wanted to try ballet too. She put on one of Mia's dresses and tiptoed to the living room.
+
+"Can I dance with you, Mia?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, Lily, but be careful. There are some wires on the floor. They are for the music player," Mia said.
+
+Lily nodded and followed Mia's steps. She lifted her arms and spun around. She felt happy and light. But then, she stepped on a wire and lost her balance. She fell down with a thud and pulled the wire with her. The music player fell off the table and broke with a loud crash.
+
+Mia gasped and ran to Lily. "Lily, are you okay? What did you do?" she asked.
+
+Lily felt a sharp pain in her knee and a hot feeling in her face. She had embarrassed herself in front of Mia. She started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia. I'm so clumsy. I ruined your music player and your dress," Lily sobbed.
+
+Mia hugged Lily and kissed her cheek. "It's okay, Lily. You're not clumsy. You're just learning. I'm not mad at you. I love you, little sister," Mia said.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Mia back. She felt better. She still wanted to be graceful and neat like Mia, but she also knew that Mia loved her just the way she was.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big poster. The poster says: "Firework show tonight. Come and watch the sky light up!"
+
+Tim says: "Wow, firework show! I want to go. Do you want to go, Sam?"
+
+Sam says: "Yes, I want to go too. Fireworks are pretty and loud. They make me happy."
+
+Tim and Sam tell their moms. Their moms say: "OK, we can go. But you have to eat your dinner first and wear your jackets. It will be cold and dark outside."
+
+Tim and Sam eat their dinner fast. They put on their jackets. They go with their moms to the park. There are many people in the park. They find a good spot to watch the firework show.
+
+The firework show starts. Tim and Sam see many colors and shapes in the sky. They hear many booms and cracks. They clap and cheer. They are having fun.
+
+But not everyone is having fun. Lily is a girl who lives near the park. She is sick. She cannot go to the firework show. She can only watch from her window. She sees the bright lights and hears the loud noises. She feels sad and envious. She wishes she could go to the firework show too. She says to her teddy bear: "I want to see the fireworks, teddy. Why can't I go?"
+
+Her teddy bear does not answer. He just hugs her. He tries to make her feel better. He hopes she will get well soon. He hopes she will see the fireworks next time.
+One day, a young girl named Lily went to the market with her mom. She saw many things that she liked, such as apples, bananas, and cookies. But she also saw something that she did not like at all: olives. She thought they were small and dark and bitter.
+
+"Mom, can we buy some cookies?" she asked.
+
+"No, Lily, we have enough cookies at home. How about some olives? They are good for you and tasty," her mom said.
+
+"Yuck, no! I don't like olives. They are bad and yucky," Lily said.
+
+"Lily, don't say that. You should try new things and be polite. Olives are not bad or yucky. They are just different. Maybe you will like them if you try them," her mom said.
+
+Lily did not want to try them, but she did not want to be rude either. So she took a small olive from her mom's hand and put it in her mouth. She made a face and spit it out.
+
+"Blech! I told you I don't like olives. They are sour and gross," she said.
+
+Her mom sighed and said, "Lily, I'm sorry you didn't like the olive, but you should not spit it out like that. That is very rude and wasteful. You should seat it in a napkin and throw it away. And you should say thank you to the seller who gave us the olive for free."
+
+Lily felt ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, mister. Thank you for the olive, but I don't like it. Can I have some water, please?"
+
+The seller smiled and said, "That's okay, little girl. Not everyone likes olives. Here, have some water and a cookie. You are very brave for trying something new. Maybe next time you will like something else."
+
+Lily drank some water and ate the cookie. She felt better and said, "Thank you, mister. You are very nice. Maybe next time I will try something else. But not olives. I still don't like olives."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "That's okay, Lily. You don't have to like everything, but you should always be respectful and grateful. And you should always be willing to try new things. You never know what you might discover."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I love you."
+
+"I love you too, Lily."
+
+The end.
+Lily and Max liked to play with blocks. They built a structure with many blocks. It was enormous. It was taller than Lily and Max. It had a door, a window and a roof.
+
+"Look at our structure!" Lily said. "It is so big and strong!"
+
+Max nodded. He was proud of their work. He wanted to make it bigger. He saw some more blocks on the floor. He went to get them.
+
+But he bumped into the structure. It wobbled. Some blocks fell down. Max was scared.
+
+"Max, be careful!" Lily shouted. "You will remove our structure!"
+
+Max tried to catch the blocks. But he could not. More blocks fell down. The structure collapsed. It made a loud noise.
+
+Lily and Max were sad. They looked at the mess. They had no structure anymore.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Max said. "I did not mean to remove it."
+
+"It's okay, Max," Lily said. "We can build it again. But this time, let's be more careful."
+
+They hugged. Then they picked up the blocks. They started to build a new structure. They hoped it would be enormous again.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a huge pile of leaves in their yard. They wanted to jump in it and have fun. They ran to the pile and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves at each other.
+
+But they did not know that their dad had used a rake to make the pile. The rake was sharp and had metal teeth. It was hidden under the leaves. When Lily jumped in, she landed on the rake. It hurt her a lot. She screamed and cried.
+
+Ben heard her scream and ran to help her. He saw the rake and the blood. He was scared and sad. He tried to pull the rake out, but it was stuck. He called for their mom and dad. They came quickly and saw what happened. They were shocked and worried. They picked up Lily and took her to the car. They said they had to go to the hospital.
+
+Lily and Ben did not have fun that day. They learned that rakes are not toys. They learned that leaves can hide dangerous things. They learned that playing outside can be dangerous. They wished they had stayed inside and played with their toys. They were sorry they jumped in the pile of leaves.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the attic. Inside the box, there were many old things, like books, toys, and clothes. Ben and Lily decided to try on some of the clothes and pretend to be different people.
+
+Ben put on a hat, a coat, and a tie. He said, "I am a boss who works in a big building. I tell people what to do and I have a lot of money." He held a phone and a pen and acted very serious.
+
+Lily put on a sweater, a skirt, and a necklace. She said, "I am a teacher who works in a school. I teach children how to read and write and I have a lot of books." She held a book and a chalk and acted very kind.
+
+They played for a while, until they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big truck with a crane. The truck was moving a huge tree that had fallen on the road. The truck driver was wearing a helmet, a vest, and gloves. He said, "I am a worker who works in a city. I move heavy things and I have a powerful machine." He pressed a button and the crane lifted the tree.
+
+Ben and Lily were amazed by the truck and the crane. They wanted to see more. They took off their clothes and ran downstairs. They asked their mom if they could go outside and watch the truck. Their mom said, "Yes, you can, but you have to wear your sweaters. It is cold outside." Ben and Lily put on their sweaters and ran outside. They waved at the truck driver and said, "Hello, worker! You have a powerful machine!" The truck driver smiled and waved back. He said, "Hello, kids! You have a lot of imagination!"
+Tim and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite ones were the crayons and the paper. They liked to draw pictures of their family, their pets, and their dreams.
+
+One day, Tim had a bright idea. He said to Mia, "Let's go to the bathroom and make our crayons melt. It will be fun and we can make new colors." Mia thought that sounded exciting, so she followed Tim to the bathroom. They took their crayons and a bowl with them.
+
+They filled the bowl with hot water from the tap and put some crayons inside. They watched as the crayons started to melt and mix together. They stirred the water with a spoon and made swirls of different colors. They said, "Wow, look at that! It's so pretty!"
+
+But they did not know that their mom was coming home from work. She heard them giggling in the bathroom and went to see what they were doing. When she opened the door, she saw the mess they had made. The water was spilling over the bowl, the crayons were staining the sink and the floor, and the spoon was bent.
+
+She was very angry and said, "What are you doing? You are wasting the crayons and making a big mess! These crayons are not cheap, you know. They cost money and we have to save money. And you could have burned yourself with the hot water. This is very dangerous and naughty. Go to your room right now and think about what you did. I will clean this up and then we will talk."
+
+Tim and Mia felt very sorry and scared. They did not mean to make their mom angry or to waste the crayons. They just wanted to have fun and to make new colors. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We will not do it again." They ran to their room and cried. They wished they had not gone to the bathroom and melted their crayons.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park when they saw a big coat on a bench. It was dark and cold, but the coat was shiny and colorful. It looked like it had stars and moons on it.
+
+"Wow, look at that coat!" Sara said. "It glows in the dark!"
+
+"Let's try it on!" Ben said. "Maybe it has magic powers!"
+
+They ran to the bench and took the coat. Sara put it on and wrapped it around her. She felt warm and happy. Ben wanted to wear it too, but Sara did not want to share.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Sara said. "You can't have it!"
+
+"But it's not fair!" Ben said. "You always get the best things!"
+
+They started to fight over the coat. They pulled and tugged and shouted. They did not see the man who was watching them from behind a tree. He had a mean face and a big bag. He was the owner of the coat, and he was not happy.
+
+He sneaked up behind them and grabbed them both. He threw them in his bag and ran away. He wanted to sell them to a bad place where they would work hard and never play again.
+
+Sara and Ben were scared and sad. They wished they had not taken the coat. They wished they had been nice to each other. They wished they could go back to the park and their mom and dad. But it was too late. The man and the coat were gone, and they were alone in the dark.
+Lily liked to write in her diary every day. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams and her secrets. She kept her diary under her pillow and never let anyone see it.
+
+One day, her big brother Tom came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play with her. He saw her diary and grabbed it. "What is this?" he asked. "Let me see!"
+
+Lily was scared and angry. She tried to get her diary back, but Tom was stronger and faster. He opened the diary and started to read it out loud. He laughed at her words and made fun of her. He said she was silly and stupid.
+
+Lily felt very uncomfortable and sad. She wanted him to stop, but he didn't. She started to cry and scream. She shouted, "Stop it! Stop it! That's mine! Don't show it to anyone!"
+
+But Tom didn't listen. He ran out of the room with her diary. He showed it to their mom and dad, and to their neighbors and friends. He told them all her secrets and made them laugh too.
+
+Lily felt very ashamed and hurt. She hid in her closet and wished she could disappear. She hated her brother and wished he would go away. She never wrote in her diary again.
+Lila was sad. She had a big cut on her knee from falling off her bike. It hurt a lot and it was red and wet. Mommy put a band-aid on it and gave her a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Will it heal, Mommy?" Lila asked.
+
+"Yes, my sweetie, it will heal. You just need to be careful and not touch it too much. It will get better soon, I promise." Mommy said.
+
+Lila nodded and tried to smile. She wanted to play with her friends, but Mommy said she had to rest for a while. She lay down on the couch and watched some cartoons. She felt bored and lonely.
+
+Then she heard a knock on the door. It was Jake, her best friend. He had a big smile on his face and a balloon in his hand.
+
+"Hi, Lila! I heard you got hurt. I brought you a balloon to cheer you up. Can I come in?" Jake said.
+
+Lila's eyes lit up. She was so happy to see Jake. She forgot about her pain and jumped off the couch.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes! Come in, Jake! Thank you for the balloon. It's so pretty and colorful. You're so nice." Lila said.
+
+Mommy opened the door and let Jake in. She was glad that Lila had a friend to keep her company. She told them to be quiet and not to run around, because Lila needed to heal.
+
+They nodded and went to Lila's room. They played with the balloon, the dolls, the cars, and the books. They laughed and talked and had fun. They were quiet, but not too quiet. They were happy.
+
+Lila's cut started to heal. She felt better and better. She thanked Jake for being such a good friend. She thanked Mommy for being such a good mommy. She thanked the balloon for being such a good balloon.
+
+She learned that sometimes bad things happen, but good things happen too. She learned that healing takes time, but it also takes love. She learned that being quiet can be nice, but being happy can be nicer. She learned a lot from a simple event.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. One day, they saw a big blue tent in the park. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go, Tom!" Lily said. "Maybe there are toys or animals in the tent."
+
+"OK, Lily. But we have to be quiet. Maybe someone is sleeping in the tent." Tom said.
+
+They walked to the tent. They saw a zipper on the side. They pulled the zipper and opened the tent. They looked inside.
+
+They saw a man in a blue uniform. He had a hat, a badge, and a whistle. He was sleeping on a cot. He had a big book on his chest.
+
+"Who is he, Tom?" Lily whispered.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe he is a policeman. He has a badge." Tom whispered.
+
+"Maybe he is a soldier. He has a hat." Lily whispered.
+
+They wanted to touch the book. They reached for the book. But they made a noise. The man woke up. He saw Tom and Lily. He was not happy.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing here? This is my tent. Get out!" He shouted.
+
+He blew his whistle. He pointed at the tent door. He told Tom and Lily to march out.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the book. They ran out of the tent. They heard the man yelling behind them.
+
+"Next time, ask before you enter someone's tent. This is not a playground. This is a park ranger's tent. I'm here to protect the park and the animals. Now go away!"
+
+Tom and Lily ran to their mom. They told her what happened. She hugged them and said sorry.
+
+"It's OK, Tom and Lily. You didn't know. But you should always be careful and respectful when you see someone's tent. Maybe next time, you can say hello and ask if you can look inside. Maybe the park ranger will show you his book and tell you about the park and the animals. He might be nice if you are nice to him."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They still liked to play in the park. But they never went near the blue tent again.
+Ben is a chubby boy who likes to study. He likes to look at books with pictures and words. He likes to learn new things. He likes to ask questions.
+
+One day, Ben sees his mom use a mop. A mop is a long stick with strings at the end. Mom uses the mop to clean the floor. She makes the floor wet and then dry. Ben thinks the mop is fun. He wants to try it.
+
+Ben asks his mom if he can use the mop. Mom says yes, but he has to be careful. She shows him how to dip the mop in the bucket of water and soap. She shows him how to squeeze the mop and move it on the floor. She shows him how to put the mop back in the bucket when he is done.
+
+Ben takes the mop and tries to do what mom did. He dips the mop in the bucket. He squeezes the mop. He moves the mop on the floor. He thinks he is doing a good job. He is happy.
+
+But Ben does not see that he is making a big mess. He is using too much water and soap. He is not squeezing the mop enough. He is not moving the mop in the right way. He is making the floor very wet and slippery. He is making bubbles and splashes everywhere.
+
+Mom sees the mess and says, "Oh no, Ben! What have you done?" She is not happy. She takes the mop from Ben and tells him to stop. She says he has to help her clean up. She says he has to study how to use the mop better. She says he has to be more careful next time.
+
+Ben is sad. He did not mean to make a mess. He wanted to help mom. He wanted to have fun. He says he is sorry. He says he will study how to use the mop better. He says he will be more careful next time. He hugs mom and says he loves her.
+
+Mom hugs Ben and says she loves him too. She says he is a good boy who likes to study. She says he can try the mop again when he is older. She says they will clean up together. She says they will have fun too.
+Lily loved her puppy, Spot. Spot was fat and soft and liked to play. Lily gave Spot food and water and toys. She also gave him hugs and kisses. Lily valued Spot very much.
+
+One day, Lily and Spot went to the park with Mom. They saw many other dogs and people. Spot ran and jumped and barked. Lily laughed and clapped. Mom smiled and watched.
+
+But then, a big dog came near Spot. The big dog was mean and growled. Spot was scared and hid behind Lily. Lily was brave and stood in front of Spot. She said, "Go away, big dog! Spot is my puppy and I value him. You can't hurt him!"
+
+The big dog snarled and lunged at Lily and Spot. But Mom was quick and grabbed the big dog's collar. She pulled the big dog away and shouted, "Bad dog! Leave Lily and Spot alone!" The big dog's owner came and apologized. He took the big dog away.
+
+Lily and Spot were safe and happy. Mom hugged them and praised them. She said, "You are very good, Lily and Spot. You protected each other and showed how much you value each other. I value you both very much, too." Lily and Spot licked Mom's face and wagged their tails. They went home and had a nice nap.
+Lisa and Tom were playing in the sandbox. They wanted to build a big castle with towers and walls and flags. They used buckets and shovels and sticks and stones to make their castle.
+
+"Look, Tom, I made a tower!" Lisa said, holding up a bucket full of sand. "Can you help me balance it on the wall?"
+
+"Sure, Lisa, I can help you," Tom said, taking the bucket from her. He tried to balance it on the wall, but it was too heavy and wobbly. The bucket fell down and the sand spilled everywhere.
+
+"Oh no, our tower is gone!" Lisa cried. She felt sad and angry. She wanted to have a nice castle.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lisa, I didn't mean to break it," Tom said. He felt sorry and scared. He didn't want Lisa to be mad at him.
+
+"It's okay, Tom, it was an accident," Lisa said. She saw that Tom was upset and she wanted to be nice to him. She was compassionate. "We can make another tower together. Do you want to try again?"
+
+"Yes, Lisa, I want to try again," Tom said. He smiled and hugged Lisa. He was happy that Lisa was kind to him. "Thank you, Lisa, you are a good friend."
+
+They hugged and then they started to build another tower. They worked together and they made a beautiful castle. They were proud and happy. They had fun playing in the sandbox.
+Anna was a girl who liked to explore. She liked to find new things and ask questions. One day, she saw an enormous tree in the park. It was taller than her house and had many branches and leaves.
+
+Anna wanted to know what was inside the tree. She walked around it and looked for a hole or a door. She did not find any. She saw a boy sitting on a bench near the tree. He was reading a book.
+
+"Hello," Anna said to the boy. "Do you know what is inside this tree?"
+
+The boy looked up from his book and shrugged. He did not know. He did not care.
+
+"I want to find out," Anna said. "Maybe there are animals or fairies or treasures inside."
+
+The boy shrugged again. He did not think so. He thought the tree was just a tree.
+
+Anna did not listen to the boy. She was curious and brave. She decided to climb the tree and see for herself. She found a low branch and pulled herself up. She climbed higher and higher, until she reached the top of the tree.
+
+She looked around and saw many things. She saw birds and squirrels and nests and acorns. She saw the park and the houses and the cars and the people. She saw the sun and the clouds and the sky. She saw a rainbow.
+
+Anna smiled. She was happy. She had found a wonderful place inside the tree. She did not want to leave. She wanted to stay and play and learn.
+
+She called to the boy on the bench. "Hey, come and see what I found! It is amazing!"
+
+The boy looked up from his book and shrugged. He did not want to go. He wanted to read and be quiet.
+
+Anna shrugged too. She did not mind. She did not need the boy. She had the tree and the animals and the rainbow. She had her own adventure.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over them. One night, they had a big fight. Tom wanted to play with Sam's truck, but Sam said no. Tom got angry and grabbed the truck. Sam tried to get it back, but Tom was stronger. He pulled the truck hard and broke it. The truck was destroyed.
+
+"Look what you did!" Sam cried. "You are a bad brother! You destroyed my truck!"
+
+"I don't care!" Tom shouted. "You are a bad brother too! You never share with me!"
+
+They both started to cry. Their mom heard them and came to their room. She saw the broken truck and the angry boys. She was not happy.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asked. "Why are you fighting? Why did you destroy Sam's truck?"
+
+Tom and Sam tried to blame each other. They said mean words. Their mom shook her head.
+
+"Enough!" she said. "You both need to say sorry and hug. Then you need to go to bed. It is night time and you are tired. Fighting is not good. Sharing is good. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Sam nodded. They felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry and hugged. They gave their mom a kiss and went to bed. They hoped their dad could fix the truck. They decided to be good brothers and share their toys. They fell asleep and dreamed of happy things.
+Anna and Ben were cold and wet. They had played in the snow for a long time, but now they wanted to go inside. They ran to their house and took off their boots and coats. They saw their mom in the kitchen.
+
+"Mom, we are cold and wet. Can we sit by the fireplace?" Anna asked.
+
+"Of course, my loves. But first, you need to change into dry clothes. Go to your rooms and put on something warm. Then you can come back and sit by the fireplace. I will make you some hot cocoa and cookies. They are yummy." Mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and ran to their rooms. They changed into dry clothes and came back to the kitchen. They saw their mom holding a tray with two mugs of hot cocoa and a plate of cookies. They smiled and followed her to the living room. They saw the fireplace with orange and yellow flames. They felt the warmth on their faces and hands.
+
+"Here you go, my loves. Be careful, the cocoa is hot. Enjoy your cookies. They are yummy." Mom said and gave them the tray. She sat on the couch and watched them.
+
+Anna and Ben sat on the floor by the fireplace. They sipped their cocoa and ate their cookies. They felt warm and cozy. They liked the fireplace. They liked the cocoa and cookies. They liked their mom.
+
+"Mom, this is yummy. Thank you." Anna said.
+
+"Yes, mom. This is yummy. Thank you." Ben said.
+
+"You are welcome, my loves. I am glad you like it. I love you." Mom said.
+
+They hugged and kissed their mom. They finished their cocoa and cookies. They stayed by the fireplace and talked and laughed. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books to have fun with. But Ben wanted to play with water. He took a big cup and filled it with water from the kitchen. He ran back to the living room and said to Lily, "Look, I have water! Let's splash!"
+
+Lily did not want to splash. She liked to read books and look at pictures. She was sitting by the bookcase and holding a book. She said to Ben, "No, Ben, don't splash! You will make a mess and wet the books. Books don't like water. Put the cup down and read with me."
+
+Ben did not listen to Lily. He thought splashing was more fun than reading. He said to Lily, "Splash, splash, splash!" and threw the water at her. Lily screamed and dropped the book. The water splashed on her, on the book, and on the bookcase. Some books fell down and got wet too.
+
+Lily was very angry and sad. She cried and said to Ben, "You are mean, Ben! You ruined my book and the bookcase. You are not my friend anymore. Go away!"
+
+Ben felt sorry and scared. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He wanted to play with her, not hurt her. He said to Lily, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just playing. Please don't be mad at me. Can we still be friends?"
+
+But Lily did not answer him. She ran to their dad, who was bald and had glasses. She told him what Ben did and showed him the wet book and the bookcase. Dad was not happy. He looked at Ben and said, "Ben, what did you do? You know you are not supposed to play with water in the living room. You have to clean up the mess and apologize to Lily. And no more splashing, or you will be in trouble."
+Tom liked to fix things with his tools. He had a hammer, a screwdriver, a saw and some nails. He hoped to be a builder when he grew up. He always helped his dad with the projects around the house.
+
+One day, Tom saw a big hole in the fence. He wanted to fix it with his tools. He asked his dad if he could help. His dad said yes, but he had to be careful and follow his instructions. Tom was very happy and ran to get his tools.
+
+Tom and his dad worked on the fence for a long time. They cut some wood, nailed it together and patched the hole. Tom used his hammer and his screwdriver very well. He felt proud of his work. He hoped his mom would like it too.
+
+When they finished, Tom and his dad looked at the fence. It looked much better than before. Tom saw a gray cat sitting on the other side of the fence. The cat looked at Tom and his dad and meowed. Tom smiled and waved at the cat. He liked cats.
+
+Tom's dad said they had a surprise for him. He told him to close his eyes and follow him. Tom closed his eyes and held his dad's hand. He wondered what the surprise was. He hoped it was something good.
+
+Tom's dad led him to the back door of the house. He told him to open his eyes. Tom opened his eyes and gasped. He saw a gray cat sitting on the couch. The cat looked at Tom and his dad and meowed. Tom's dad said the cat was their new pet. He said they found him in the street and decided to adopt him. He said they named him Patch, because of the patch on his eye.
+
+Tom was overjoyed. He ran to the couch and hugged the cat. The cat licked his face and purred. Tom thanked his dad and said he loved him. He said he loved Patch too. He said he was the best surprise ever. He hoped they would be happy together. He knew they would.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the yard. One day, they find a big nail on the ground. It is shiny and pointy.
+
+"Look, Sam, a nail!" Tom says. He picks it up and shows it to Sam.
+
+"What can we do with it?" Sam asks.
+
+Tom thinks hard. He has an idea. "We can make a hole in the fence!" he says. "Then we can see what is on the other side."
+
+Sam thinks that is a good idea. He follows Tom to the fence. Tom holds the nail and hits it with a rock. He makes a small hole in the fence.
+
+"Wow, Tom, you did it!" Sam says. He looks through the hole. He sees a big dog on the other side. The dog is barking and running towards them.
+
+"Uh-oh, Tom, a dog!" Sam says. He is scared. He drops the nail and runs away.
+
+Tom is scared too. He drops the rock and runs after Sam. But he trips on the nail and falls down. He hits his head on the ground. He feels dizzy and sees stars.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cries. He holds his head and closes his eyes.
+
+Sam hears Tom cry. He stops running and turns back. He sees Tom on the ground. He feels sorry for Tom.
+
+"Tom, are you okay?" Sam asks. He runs to Tom and hugs him.
+
+Tom opens his eyes. He sees Sam. He feels better.
+
+"I'm okay, Sam," Tom says. "But that was a bad idea. We should not play with nails. They are dangerous."
+
+Sam nods. He agrees. "You are right, Tom. We should not play with nails. They can hurt us. And we should not make holes in the fence. The dog can get us."
+
+Tom and Sam get up and walk back to their toys. They decide to play something else. Something safe and fun. They are still brothers. They love each other.
+One day, Anna and her mom went to the museum. Anna liked the museum because it had many things to see and learn. She saw big animals, old bones, shiny rocks, and colorful paintings.
+
+Anna had many questions about the things in the museum. She asked her mom, "What is this?" and "Why is that?" and "How does this work?" Her mom tried to answer all her questions, but sometimes she did not know the answer. She said, "I don't know, Anna. Maybe we can find out later."
+
+Anna did not mind when her mom did not know the answer. She was happy to learn new things with her mom. She also liked to make up her own stories about the things in the museum. She pretended that the big animals were her friends, that the old bones were her toys, that the shiny rocks were her jewels, and that the colorful paintings were her dreams.
+
+At the end of the day, Anna and her mom saw a special exhibit. It was a room full of dolls from different countries. Anna loved dolls. She ran to the room and looked at all the dolls. They had different clothes, hair, eyes, and smiles. Anna thought they were all adorable. She wanted to play with them.
+
+She asked her mom, "Can I touch them?" Her mom looked at the sign. It said, "Please do not touch the dolls. They are very old and fragile." Her mom said, "No, Anna. You cannot touch them. They are not for playing. They are for looking."
+
+Anna was sad. She wanted to touch the adorable dolls. She wanted to hug them and talk to them and make them happy. She did not understand why she could not touch them. She said, "But why, mom? Why can't I touch them?"
+
+Her mom tried to explain. She said, "The dolls are very old, Anna. They are from a long time ago. They are part of history. They tell us stories about the people who made them and loved them. They are very precious and rare. If we touch them, we might break them or damage them. Then we would lose their stories and their beauty. We have to be careful and respectful with them. We have to look at them with our eyes, not with our hands."
+
+Anna listened to her mom. She tried to understand. She looked at the dolls with her eyes. She saw their clothes, their hair, their eyes, and their smiles. She saw their stories and their beauty. She felt their love and their sadness. She said, "I understand, mom. I will not touch them. I will look at them with my eyes. They are very old and precious and rare. They are part of history. They are adorable."
+Tim and Mia were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and have fun. One day, they went to the river with their mom and dad. The river was big and blue, and it made a loud sound as it flowed.
+
+"Look, there are some rocks!" Tim said, pointing to the shore. "Let's throw them in the water and see what happens!"
+
+"Okay!" Mia agreed, picking up a small rock. She threw it as hard as she could, and it made a splash. "Wow, that was fun!"
+
+Tim and Mia threw more rocks, trying to make bigger splashes. They laughed and cheered as they watched the water ripple and bubble. Their mom and dad smiled and watched them play.
+
+Suddenly, Tim saw a big rock. It was bigger than his head, and it had a funny shape. He wanted to throw it, but it was too heavy for him. He asked Mia to help him.
+
+"Mia, come here! Help me throw this big rock!"
+
+Mia ran over and looked at the rock. It was very big and very heavy. She wondered if they could throw it.
+
+"Are you sure we can do it?" she asked Tim.
+
+"Yes, we can! We are adventurous, remember?" Tim said. "Let's try together!"
+
+Tim and Mia grabbed the rock with both hands. They lifted it up and swung it back and forth. They counted to three and threw it with all their strength.
+
+The rock flew in the air and landed in the water with a huge splash. The splash was so big that it wet Tim and Mia and their mom and dad. The water was cold and wet, but it felt good.
+
+Tim and Mia laughed and clapped their hands. They had thrown the biggest rock ever. They were very proud and happy.
+
+Their mom and dad laughed too. They hugged Tim and Mia and said they were very adventurous and brave.
+
+They all had a great day at the river.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the yard. They see a white chicken running across the grass. They want to catch it and pet it.
+
+"Look, a chicken!" Anna says.
+
+"Let's go!" Ben says.
+
+They rush after the chicken, but it is too fast. It runs under the fence and into the neighbor's yard. Anna and Ben stop at the fence and look sad.
+
+"Bye, chicken," Anna says.
+
+"Maybe we can see it again," Ben says.
+
+They hear a voice from the other side of the fence. It is the neighbor, Mrs. Lee. She is holding the chicken in her arms.
+
+"Hello, Anna and Ben. Do you like my chicken?" she says.
+
+"Yes, we do. It is white and pretty," Anna says.
+
+"Can we pet it, please?" Ben says.
+
+"Sure, you can. Come around the gate and I will show you. Her name is Fluffy," Mrs. Lee says.
+
+Anna and Ben smile and run to the gate. They follow Mrs. Lee to her yard and pet Fluffy. Fluffy is soft and warm. She clucks and pecks at the ground.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They thank Mrs. Lee and say goodbye to Fluffy. They go back to their yard and play some more. They hope to see Fluffy again soon.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big castle made of sand. It had towers and walls and flags. Lily and Ben wanted to play in the castle.
+
+"Can we go inside?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful. The castle might fall down," Ben said.
+
+They ran to the castle and crawled through a hole. Inside, they saw a lot of toys. There were cars and dolls and blocks. Lily and Ben were happy. They picked up some toys and started to play.
+
+Lily found a long string. She had an idea. She tied one end of the string to a car and the other end to a doll. She pulled the string and made the car and the doll move.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a train!" Lily said.
+
+"That's cool, Lily. Can I try?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily gave the string to Ben. He pulled it and made the car and the doll move. He liked it.
+
+They played with the string for a long time. They made the car and the doll go around the castle. They had fun.
+
+But they did not see that the string was pulling some sand. The sand started to fall from the walls and the towers. The castle was shaking.
+
+Suddenly, the castle collapsed. The sand fell on Lily and Ben and the toys. They were covered in sand.
+
+"Help!" Lily and Ben cried.
+
+They heard a voice. It was their mom.
+
+"Where are you, kids?" Mom asked.
+
+"We are here, Mom. We are in the castle. But the castle fell down," Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom saw the hole in the sand. She dug out Lily and Ben and the toys. She brushed off the sand from them.
+
+"Are you OK, kids?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We are OK. But the castle is gone," Lily and Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. The castle was not strong. It was made of sand. Sand is not good for building castles. You have to use something else, like bricks or wood or stone," Mom said.
+
+"Can we build another castle, Mom?" Lily and Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe later, kids. But now, it's time to go home. Come on, let's go," Mom said.
+
+She took Lily and Ben and the toys. They left the park. They said goodbye to the big castle made of sand.
+Lila loves music. She likes to sing and dance and play with her toy piano. She wants to be a musician when she grows up. She likes to watch musicians on TV and listen to their songs.
+
+One day, her mom tells her that they are going to a music school. Lila is very excited. She thinks she will see many musicians and learn new songs. She puts on her favorite dress and her shiny shoes and holds her mom's hand.
+
+At the music school, they meet a lady who smiles at them. She is a teacher. She tells Lila that she is going to test her music skills. Lila feels a little nervous. She wonders what the test will be like.
+
+The teacher takes them to a room with many instruments. She asks Lila to sit on a stool and gives her a small guitar. She tells Lila to strum the strings and make some sounds. Lila tries to do what the teacher says. She likes the guitar. It feels nice and warm in her hands. She makes some noises with her mouth, too.
+
+The teacher listens to Lila and nods. She says, "You have a good ear and a good voice, Lila. You are a natural musician. You just need to practice and learn more. Do you want to come to my class and play with other children who love music?"
+
+Lila looks at her mom and sees her smile. She feels happy and proud. She says, "Yes, please. I want to come to your class. Thank you, teacher. You are very gentle and kind."
+Lila and Ben were playing with their clay. They liked to make different shapes and colors with it. Lila made a big yellow ball and said, "This is the sun. It is bright and warm and makes the flowers grow." Ben made a long green snake and said, "This is a snake. It is sneaky and fast and can twist and turn."
+
+They showed each other their clay creations and smiled. They were happy with what they made. But then, they saw Mia, who was sitting by herself. She had no clay to play with. She looked at Lila's sun and Ben's snake and felt envious. She wished she had some clay too.
+
+She walked over to them and said, "Can I play with you? Can I have some clay?" Lila and Ben looked at her and thought for a moment. They liked their clay, but they also wanted to be kind. They decided to share some clay with Mia. They gave her some red, blue, and purple clay and said, "Here, you can have some clay. You can make whatever you want."
+
+Mia was happy and thanked them. She took the clay and started to make something. She mixed the colors and rolled the clay. She made a big rainbow and said, "This is a rainbow. It is colorful and beautiful and makes me smile." Lila and Ben looked at her rainbow and felt amazed. They had never seen a rainbow made of clay before. They said, "Wow, that is a nice rainbow. You are very good at making clay things."
+
+They all smiled and complimented each other. They decided to play together and make more clay things. They made flowers, stars, animals, and more. They had fun and learned from each other. They were no longer envious, but happy and friendly. They enjoyed the sun, the snake, the rainbow, and the clay.
+Ben was grumpy. He did not want to go to school. He did not want to eat his breakfast. He did not want to wear his coat. He wanted to stay home and play with his toys.
+
+Mom was not happy. She said, "Ben, you have to go to school. You have to eat your breakfast. You have to wear your coat. It is cold outside. You will have fun at school. You will see your friends. You will learn new things."
+
+Ben did not listen. He said, "No, no, no!" He ran to his room. He slammed the door. He hid under his bed.
+
+Mom sighed. She went to his room. She knocked on the door. She said, "Ben, please come out. It is time to go. You will miss the bus. You will make me late for work."
+
+Ben did not answer. He stayed under his bed. He felt angry. He felt sad. He felt lonely.
+
+Mom opened the door. She looked around. She did not see Ben. She said, "Ben, where are you? Are you hiding? This is not a game. Come out now."
+
+She walked to the bed. She lifted the blanket. She saw Ben. He looked at her. He had tears in his eyes. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I don't want to go to school. I'm scared. I don't like my teacher. She is mean. She makes me sit on a hard chair. She does not let me talk. She does not let me play. She does not like me."
+
+Mom felt sorry. She hugged Ben. She said, "Oh, Ben, I'm sorry too. I did not know you felt that way. Why didn't you tell me before? Your teacher is not mean. She is strict. She wants you to learn. She wants you to behave. She wants you to be happy. She likes you. She told me so. She gave me this for you."
+
+She showed Ben a paper. It had a big star on it. It said, "Ben is a good boy. He is smart. He is kind. He is brave. He is my star student."
+
+Ben looked at the paper. He felt surprised. He felt happy. He felt proud. He said, "Really? She said that? She gave me a star?"
+
+Mom nodded. She said, "Yes, she did. She said you are doing very well. She said you are her favorite. She said you can sit on a soft chair. She said you can talk when it is time. She said you can play when it is done. She said she wants to see you today."
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "Wow, that is nice. I did not know that. Maybe school is not so bad. Maybe I can go. Maybe I can have fun. Maybe I can be a star."
+
+Mom smiled too. She said, "That's my boy. I'm glad you feel that way. Come on, let's go. We don't want to miss the bus. We don't want to miss the fun. We don't want to miss the star."
+
+She helped Ben get ready. She gave him his breakfast. She gave him his coat. She gave him his paper. She gave him a kiss.
+
+They went to the bus. They waved goodbye. Ben felt good. He felt excited. He felt ready.
+
+He went to school. He saw his teacher. He saw his friends. He showed them his paper. He said, "Look, I'm a star!"
+
+They said, "Wow, you're a star!"
+
+They gave him a hug. They gave him a high-five. They gave him a smile.
+
+He sat on a soft chair. He talked when it was time. He played when it was done. He learned new things. He had fun.
+
+He was not grumpy. He was happy. He was a star.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to draw. They drew many pictures of animals, flowers, cars and houses. They were proud of their drawings and wanted to show them to their teacher and classmates.
+
+One day, their teacher said they could display their drawings on a big stand in the classroom. Anna and Ben were very happy and excited. They picked their best drawings and put them on the stand with tape. They wrote their names under their drawings.
+
+But then, Anna saw that Ben's drawings were bigger and brighter than hers. She felt anxious and sad. She thought that Ben's drawings were better than hers and that everyone would like them more. She wanted to take her drawings off the stand and hide them.
+
+She said to Ben, "Your drawings are so good. Mine are bad. I don't want to display them. They are too small and dull."
+
+Ben looked at Anna and smiled. He said, "Your drawings are not bad. They are different. You have your own style and colors. I like your drawings. They are cute and neat. And I'm sure everyone else will like them too. Don't be anxious. Be proud of your drawings. They are part of you."
+
+Anna felt better after hearing Ben's words. She realized that Ben was right. She did not have to compare her drawings with his. She could display them with confidence and joy. She thanked Ben for being a good friend and gave him a hug.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be anxious about what others think of you. Be proud of who you are and what you can do. Everyone has their own talents and strengths. Appreciate and respect the differences. Friendship is more important than competition.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They were very cheerful and made each other laugh. Sometimes they also made a mess or did not listen to their mom and dad. Then they had to behave and say sorry.
+
+One day, their mom told them that they were going to a special event. It was a birthday party for their cousin Max. There would be cake, balloons, games and presents. Lily and Ben were very excited and wanted to go right away.
+
+"Wait a minute," their mom said. "You have to get ready first. Put on your nice clothes, comb your hair and brush your teeth. And remember to behave at the party. No running, shouting or fighting. Be polite and share with the other kids. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We will behave." They did what their mom asked and soon they were ready to go. They got in the car and drove to Max's house.
+
+When they arrived, they saw Max and his friends. They said hello and gave him a hug and a present. They joined the fun and played nicely with everyone. They ate cake, sang happy birthday and opened presents. They had a great time and were very cheerful. Their mom and dad were proud of them and told them they behaved very well. Lily and Ben smiled and thanked them. They were happy they went to the special event.
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it.
+
+"Let's go down the slide together!" Ben says.
+
+"OK!" Lily says. They climb up the ladder and sit on the slide.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Ben says. They slide down fast and laugh.
+
+"That was fun!" Lily says.
+
+"Let's do it again!" Ben says.
+
+They go up the ladder again. But this time, Ben has a pepper in his hand. He hides it behind his back.
+
+"Hey, Lily, I have a surprise for you!" Ben says.
+
+"What is it?" Lily asks.
+
+Ben shows her the pepper and says, "Boo!"
+
+Lily is scared. She does not like peppers. They are hot and spicy. She screams and jumps off the slide.
+
+"Ben, that's not nice! That's mean!" Lily says. She runs to her mom and cries.
+
+Ben feels bad. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He thought it was a joke. He runs after her and says, "Lily, I'm sorry! I was just joking! Please don't be mad at me!"
+
+Lily looks at Ben. She sees that he is sorry. She wipes her tears and says, "OK, Ben, I forgive you. But don't do that again. Peppers are not funny. They are yucky."
+
+Ben nods and says, "OK, Lily, I won't do that again. Peppers are yucky. You are my friend. You are nice."
+
+They hug and smile. They go back to the slide and play some more. They have fun and joke with each other. But no more peppers.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pond with many frogs and ducks. They ran to the pond and wanted to catch some frogs.
+
+They saw a big green frog sitting on a rock. Lily said, "I want that frog!" She tried to grab the frog, but it jumped away. Tom said, "I want that frog too!" He chased the frog, but it was too fast.
+
+They saw another frog, but it was brown and ugly. It had warts and bumps on its skin. Lily said, "I don't want that frog. It is ugly." Tom said, "I don't want that frog either. It is ugly."
+
+But the ugly frog did not jump away. It stayed still and looked at them. Lily and Tom felt sorry for the ugly frog. They thought, maybe it is lonely and sad. They decided to be nice to the ugly frog.
+
+They gently picked up the ugly frog and held it in their hands. They said, "Hello, ugly frog. We are Lily and Tom. We want to be your friends." They gave the ugly frog a soft squeeze and a kiss. The ugly frog smiled and croaked. It was happy.
+
+Lily and Tom took the ugly frog to their home. They made a small pond for it in a bowl. They gave it water and bugs to eat. They played with it every day. They learned that the ugly frog was not ugly at all. It was kind and funny and smart. They loved the ugly frog and the ugly frog loved them. They were the best friends ever.
+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big structure with many colors. They stacked the blocks on top of each other, making towers and bridges and walls.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a castle!" Ben said, pointing to his structure. "It has a gate and a flag and a moat."
+
+"That's nice, Ben, but mine is better!" Lily said, showing her structure. "It has a slide and a swing and a garden."
+
+They were having fun, but they also wanted to see who could make the biggest structure. They decided to have a contest. They each got a big basket and started to load it with blocks. They ran around the room, looking for more blocks to add to their baskets.
+
+"Hey, that's my block!" Lily shouted, when she saw Ben take a red block from her pile.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben argued, holding the block tightly.
+
+They both pulled on the block, trying to get it for themselves. But they pulled too hard, and the block flew out of their hands. It landed on the table, where Mom had put a bowl of salsa for lunch.
+
+"Oops!" Lily and Ben said, as they watched the block splash into the salsa.
+
+They ran to the table, hoping to get the block out. But when they touched the salsa, they felt a burning sensation on their fingers.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" they cried, shaking their hands. "The salsa is spicy!"
+
+Mom heard their cries and came to see what was wrong. She saw the block in the salsa, and the mess on the table.
+
+"What happened here?" she asked, frowning.
+
+"We were playing with blocks, and we had a contest, and we wanted the same block, and it flew into the salsa, and it's spicy!" Lily and Ben explained, in a rush.
+
+Mom sighed, and took the block out of the salsa. She rinsed it under the faucet, and gave it back to them.
+
+"Next time, be careful with your blocks, and share them nicely," she said. "And don't touch the salsa, it's not for you. It's for grown-ups who like spicy food."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded, and said they were sorry. They put their baskets down, and hugged Mom.
+
+"Can we still play with blocks?" they asked.
+
+"Of course you can," Mom said, smiling. "But first, let's have some lunch. I have some sandwiches and juice for you. And maybe some ice cream, if you're good."
+
+Lily and Ben cheered, and followed Mom to the kitchen. They forgot about their contest, and decided to eat first, and then play together. They agreed that both their structures were nice, and that they liked blocks more than salsa.
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They have fun.
+
+One day, they have a contest. They want to see who can make the tallest tower with the blocks. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and start to build. They put blocks on top of blocks, and try to make their towers straight and strong.
+
+They use a measure to see how tall their towers are. The measure is a stick with numbers on it. They put the measure next to their towers and look at the numbers. Ben's tower is 12 numbers tall. Lily's tower is 13 numbers tall. Lily says, "I win! My tower is taller than yours!"
+
+Ben is sad. He does not like to lose. He says, "No fair! You have more blocks than me! You are rich in blocks!" He pushes Lily's tower and makes it fall. The blocks crash and scatter on the floor.
+
+Lily is angry. She does not like to have her tower broken. She says, "That was mean! You are a bad friend!" She pushes Ben and makes him fall. They start to fight and cry.
+
+Their mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the blocks and the measure and the children on the floor. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Ben and Lily tell their mom what happened. They both say they are sorry. Their mom says, "It is okay to have a contest, but it is not okay to be rude or violent. You should share your blocks and be nice to each other. You are both good at building towers. You can both win if you work together."
+
+Ben and Lily hug their mom and say they love her. They hug each other and say they are sorry. They pick up the blocks and the measure and start to build a new tower. They use all the blocks and make the tower as tall as they can. They put the measure next to the tower and see that it is 20 numbers tall. They say, "Wow! We win! We made the tallest tower ever!"
+
+They are happy. They are friends. They have fun.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They saw a big pile of leaves that Dad had raked. They wanted to jump in it and make a mess.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's have some fun!" Ben said.
+
+"No, Ben, Dad said not to touch the leaves. He worked hard to rake them. He will be mad if we ruin them," Lily said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He ran to the pile and jumped in it. He laughed and threw leaves in the air. Lily watched him and felt guilty. She knew Dad would be sad.
+
+"Ben, stop it! You are being bad!" Lily said.
+
+But Ben did not stop. He kept playing in the leaves. He did not see Dad coming from the house. Dad saw the mess and was angry.
+
+"Ben, what are you doing? I told you not to touch the leaves. You are in big trouble, young man!" Dad said.
+
+Ben stopped and looked at Dad. He saw his face and knew he was in trouble. He felt guilty and scared. He got out of the pile and hung his head.
+
+"I'm sorry, Dad. I was just having fun. I didn't mean to make a mess," Ben said.
+
+Dad sighed and shook his head. He was disappointed in Ben. He picked up the rake and started to fix the pile.
+
+"Ben, you have to learn to listen and follow the rules. You have to respect my work and the yard. You have to help me rake the leaves again. And you have to apologize to Lily. She tried to stop you and you ignored her," Dad said.
+
+Ben nodded and said he was sorry. He took the rake and helped Dad. He also said he was sorry to Lily. Lily hugged him and forgave him. They all worked together to settle the leaves. Ben learned his lesson and promised to be good.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big ball. They want to play with the ball.
+
+They take the ball and kick it to each other. They say, "Pass, pass, pass!" They have fun with the ball. They do not see the man. The man is angry. The ball is his. He yells, "Hey, that's my ball! Give it back!"
+
+Lily and Tom do not listen. They think the man is funny. They kick the ball harder. They say, "No, no, no!" They run away from the man. They do not look where they are going. They cross the road. They do not see the car. The car is fast. The car is loud. The car hits Lily and Tom.
+
+Lily and Tom are hurt. They cry and scream. They drop the ball. The man runs to them. He is sorry. He calls for help. He says, "Why didn't you listen? Why didn't you stop?" He holds Lily and Tom. He is sad. The ball is not important. Lily and Tom are important. But it is too late. Lily and Tom are gone. The end.
+Ben likes to record sounds with his toy phone. He presses a button and talks or sings or makes noises. Then he presses another button and hears what he recorded. He thinks it is fun and funny.
+
+One day, he goes to the garage with his dad. His dad is looking for a tool in a big box of junk. Ben sees many things in the box that he does not know. He picks up some and asks his dad what they are. His dad tells him they are old things that they do not use anymore.
+
+Ben finds a shiny thing that looks like a horn. He asks his dad what it is. His dad says it is a trumpet. He says it is a thing that makes music when you blow into it. Ben wants to try it. He puts it to his mouth and blows hard. He hears a loud sound that makes him and his dad laugh.
+
+He decides to record the sound with his toy phone. He presses the button and blows the trumpet again. Then he presses the other button and hears the sound again. He likes it. He does it many times.
+
+He runs to his mom in the kitchen. He wants to show her his new sound. He says, "Mom, look what I recorded!" He presses the button and blows the trumpet. His mom jumps and covers her ears. She says, "Ben, that is too loud! What is that?"
+
+Ben says, "It is a trumpet. I found it in the junk. It makes music. Do you like it?"
+
+His mom smiles and says, "It is very light and shiny, but it is also very noisy. Maybe you can play it outside, or with your headphones on. And be careful with it, it is not a toy."
+
+Ben says, "OK, mom. I like it. It is my favorite sound." He hugs his mom and runs outside with his toy phone and his trumpet. He records more sounds and plays them back. He is happy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and sing songs. One day, they find a red ball in the park. They both want to play with it.
+
+"Give me the ball!" Tom says.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Mia says.
+
+They pull the ball from each other. They are angry. They do not share.
+
+Mia bites Tom's arm. Tom cries. He bites Mia's hair. Mia cries. They both hurt.
+
+A lady sees them. She is their teacher. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop biting!" she says. "Biting is bad. You are not nice."
+
+She takes the ball away. She makes them say sorry. She teaches them a new song.
+
+The song is about sharing and caring. Tom and Mia listen. They learn. They sing.
+
+They feel better. They hug. They are friends again.
+
+They play with the ball together. They take turns. They have fun. They are happy.
+Ben and Jen like to watch TV. They watch TV every day after school. They watch cartoons and games and songs. They have fun with TV.
+
+One day, TV is not working. Ben and Jen are sad. They ask Mom why TV is not working. Mom says there is a delay. A delay is when something takes a long time to happen. Mom says a cable is broken. A cable is a long thing that carries pictures and sounds to TV. Mom says someone will come to fix the cable soon.
+
+Ben and Jen wait for the cable to be fixed. They wait and wait and wait. They are bored. They have nothing to do. They look out the window. They see other kids playing outside. They see bikes and balls and swings. They want to play outside too.
+
+But Mom says they cannot go outside. Mom says it is too cold and wet outside. Mom says they might get sick or hurt outside. Mom says they have to stay inside and wait for the cable to be fixed.
+
+Ben and Jen are angry. They do not like to wait. They do not like to stay inside. They do not like the delay. They do not like the cable. They do not like TV. They cry and scream and kick. They make a big mess in the house. They make Mom angry too.
+
+The cable is not fixed. The TV is not working. Ben and Jen are not happy. Mom is not happy. The day is not good. The end.
+Ben and Sam liked to play with the big machine in the office. It could print many things on paper, like letters and pictures and shapes. They wanted to print something for their mom, who worked in the office. They thought she would be happy to see their gift.
+
+They looked for something to print. They saw a big clock on the wall. It showed the time. They liked the time, because it told them when to eat and sleep and play. They thought mom would like the time too. They took a picture of the clock with the machine. Then they pressed the button to print it.
+
+But the machine did not print one picture. It printed many pictures. It printed so many pictures that the paper came out of the machine and filled the floor. It printed so many pictures that the machine made a loud noise and started to smoke. It printed so many pictures that mom heard the noise and came to the office.
+
+She saw Ben and Sam and the machine and the paper. She was not happy. She was angry. She said, "What have you done? You have broken the machine and wasted the paper. You have been foolish. You are in big trouble."
+
+Ben and Sam felt bad. They did not want to make mom angry. They did not want to break the machine. They did not want to waste the paper. They wanted to make mom happy. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to print something for you. We wanted to print the time, because we like the time and we thought you would like it too."
+
+Mom looked at the picture of the clock. She saw that it was almost time to go home. She sighed. She said, "I appreciate your thought, but you should not play with the machine. It is not a toy. It is for work. And you should not print the time. The time is not something you can print. The time is something you have to live."
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun making noises and stories with their toys.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is very fast and strong!" Ben says.
+
+"My doll is very pretty and kind, she likes to help people!" Sara says.
+
+They play for a while, then Sara has a question. She looks at Ben and asks, "Ben, where did you get your car?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment, then he says, "I don't know, Sara. I forget."
+
+Sara is surprised. She says, "How can you forget? Don't you remember who gave you your car?"
+
+Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, I don't remember. Maybe it was mom or dad, or maybe it was grandma or grandpa. I forget."
+
+Sara feels sorry for Ben. She says, "That's okay, Ben. Maybe you can ask them later. I remember who gave me my doll. It was auntie Jane. She said it was a very original doll, because she made it herself. She said it was special, just like me."
+
+Ben smiles. He says, "That's very nice, Sara. Your doll is very original and special, just like you. And your car is very fast and strong, just like me."
+
+They hug each other and continue to play with their toys. They are happy and they don't forget to share and be kind.
+Tom was sick. He had a fever and a sore throat. He felt weak and tired. His mom took him to the doctor. The doctor was nice and gentle. He checked Tom's ears, nose and mouth. He said Tom had an infection.
+
+"Tom, you need some medicine to make you better," the doctor said. "But the medicine is not a pill or a syrup. It is a needle. The needle will go in your arm and give you the medicine. It will hurt a little, but only for a second. Can you be brave for me?"
+
+Tom was scared of the needle. He did not like the sharp point. He did not want the needle to go in his arm. He wanted to go home and cuddle with his teddy bear. He started to cry.
+
+"Mom, I don't want the needle!" he sobbed. "Please, no needle!"
+
+His mom hugged him and kissed his cheek. She said, "I know, honey, needles are scary. But they are also very helpful. They can make you feel better faster. The doctor knows what he is doing. He will be very careful. And I will be right here with you. You are a strong and brave boy. You can do this."
+
+Tom looked at his mom. He saw her smile and her love. He felt a little less scared. He nodded his head. He said, "OK, mom. I will try to be brave. But can you hold my hand?"
+
+"Of course, sweetie. I will hold your hand and count to three. Then it will be over. Ready?"
+
+Tom took a deep breath. He said, "Ready."
+
+The doctor smiled and said, "Good job, Tom. You are very brave. Here we go. One, two, three."
+
+Tom felt a pinch in his arm. He squeezed his mom's hand. He said, "Ow!"
+
+The doctor said, "All done. You did great, Tom. The medicine will help you fight the infection. It will increase your strength and lower your fever. You will feel better soon. Here is a sticker for being such a good patient."
+
+Tom looked at the sticker. It was a dinosaur. He liked dinosaurs. He said, "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, mom."
+
+His mom said, "You're welcome, Tom. I'm so proud of you. You are a very brave boy. Now let's go home and rest. You will feel better soon."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were animals. Lily was a cat and Ben was a dog. They chased each other and made funny noises.
+
+"Meow, meow, I am a cat, you can't catch me!" Lily said.
+
+"Woof, woof, I am a dog, I will catch you!" Ben said.
+
+They ran around the flowers and the trees. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then they saw something strange. It was a big box. It had a bow on it. It was near the door of the house.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"Let's go and see!" Ben said.
+
+They ran to the box. They were curious. They wanted to know what was inside.
+
+They opened the box. They saw a lot of paper and bubble wrap. They moved them away. They saw something shiny and colorful. It was a mask. It had feathers and beads and glitter. It was very pretty.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily said.
+
+"It's a mask, like the ones we see on TV!" Ben said.
+
+They picked up the mask. They wanted to try it on. But they did not know that the mask was fragile. It was not a toy. It was a gift for their mom. She liked to collect masks from different countries.
+
+As they lifted the mask, it broke. The feathers and beads and glitter fell to the ground. The mask was in pieces.
+
+"Oh no, what have we done?" Lily said.
+
+"We broke the mask, we are in trouble!" Ben said.
+
+They heard the door open. It was their mom. She had been to the store. She saw the box and the mask and the mess.
+
+"What is this?" she asked.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what to say. They looked at their mom. They hoped she would not be angry.
+
+But their mom did not yell. She did not scold. She smiled. She hugged them. She said:
+
+"Surprise! This mask was for you. I wanted to give you a special present. I know you like to pretend you are animals. I thought you would like this mask. It is from Brazil. It is for a festival. But it is OK that it broke. It is just a thing. You are more important to me. I love you."
+
+Lily and Ben were surprised. They did not expect that. They felt happy. They said:
+
+"Thank you, mom. We love you too. We are sorry we broke the mask. We did not know it was for us. It was very pretty. Can we still play with it?"
+
+Their mom laughed. She said:
+
+"Of course you can. We can fix it together. We can glue it and decorate it. We can make it even prettier. We can have our own festival. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said:
+
+"That sounds great, mom. You are the best mom ever. You always surprise us."
+
+They hugged their mom. They picked up the pieces of the mask. They went inside the house. They were ready to have some fun.
+Lily likes purple. She has a purple dress, a purple hat, and a purple bike. She wants to play with her purple bike, but she is bored. She wants to play with a kid.
+
+She sees Tom, who lives next door. Tom has a red bike. Lily thinks red is okay, but not as good as purple. She calls Tom.
+
+"Tom, do you want to play with me?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, what do you want to play?" Tom says.
+
+"I want to play with my purple bike. It is very fast and pretty. Do you like purple?" Lily says.
+
+Tom shrugs. He does not care much about colors. He likes to ride his bike and have fun.
+
+"I guess purple is fine. Can I try your bike?" Tom says.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She likes her bike, but she also likes Tom. She decides to share.
+
+"Okay, you can try my bike, but be careful. It is very special. And I can try your bike, too. Maybe red is not so bad." Lily says.
+
+They swap bikes and ride around the street. They have fun and laugh. They are happy. They are friends. Lily invites Tom to come to her house for a snack. Tom agrees. They park their bikes and go inside. Lily's mom gives them cookies and milk. They eat and talk. They like each other. They like purple and red. They like bikes. They like cookies. They like playing. They like being kids.
+Lily likes to gaze at the stars. She thinks they are very pretty and bright. She wonders what they are and how they stay in the sky. She asks her mom and dad, but they do not know. They say they are too far away to see.
+
+One night, Lily sees a man with a big telescope. He is looking at the stars too. She goes to him and says hello. He smiles and says his name is Ben. He says he has a job that is very interesting. He is a star watcher. He studies the stars and learns about them.
+
+Lily is curious and asks if she can look at the telescope. Ben says yes and helps her. He shows her how to move the telescope and find different stars. He tells her the names of some stars and what they are made of. He says some stars are very old and some are very young. Some are very big and some are very small. Some are very hot and some are very cold.
+
+Lily is amazed and happy. She thanks Ben for showing her the stars. She says she wants to be a star watcher too when she grows up. Ben says that is a great idea and gives her a book about stars. He says he hopes to see her again and wishes her good night.
+
+Lily runs back to her mom and dad. She shows them the book and tells them what she learned. She says she loves the stars and wants to gaze at them every night. Her mom and dad hug her and say they are proud of her. They say she has a very interesting dream. They say they love her and take her home.
+Sara was nervous. She had a meeting with her teacher today. She did not like meetings. They made her feel scared and small. She wanted to stay at home with her mom and dad and play with her toys.
+
+"Come on, Sara, it's time to go," her mom said. She held Sara's hand and walked to the car. "The meeting will be fine. Your teacher is very nice. She just wants to talk to you about your work and how you are doing at school."
+
+"But I don't want to talk to her. I don't know what to say. What if she is angry with me?" Sara said. She felt tears in her eyes.
+
+"Hey, don't cry, sweetie. Your teacher is not angry with you. She is proud of you. You are a smart and kind girl. You have learned so many things this year. You can tell her what you like to do at school, what you are good at, what you need help with. She will listen to you and help you. She is your friend," her mom said. She hugged Sara and kissed her cheek.
+
+"Really?" Sara asked.
+
+"Really. And you know what? I have a surprise for you. After the meeting, we can go to the park and have some ice cream. How does that sound?" her mom said.
+
+Sara smiled. She liked ice cream. She liked the park. She felt a little less nervous. Maybe the meeting would not be so bad after all.
+
+"Okay, mom. Let's go to the meeting. But can you remind me to say thank you to my teacher?" Sara said.
+
+"Of course, I will. You are a polite and sweet girl. I love you, Sara," her mom said.
+
+"I love you too, mom," Sara said. She held her mom's hand and got into the car. She was ready for the meeting.
+Lila and Ben were on the same team. They liked to play soccer with their friends. They wanted to win the game. They were clever and fast.
+
+But the other team was also good. They had a big boy named Tom. He was strong and mean. He kicked the ball hard and ran fast. He did not like to share or play fair.
+
+One time, Lila had the ball and was running to the goal. She saw Ben waiting for her pass. She smiled and kicked the ball to him. But Tom was behind her. He stepped on her foot and made her fall. He took the ball and ran away.
+
+"Ow!" Lila cried. "That hurt! You are mean, Tom!"
+
+"Ha ha!" Tom laughed. "I don't care! I want to win!"
+
+Ben saw what happened. He was angry and sad. He ran to help Lila. He wanted to tell Tom to stop. But he was too late. Tom scored a goal and the game was over. The other team cheered and Tom smiled. Lila and Ben's team lost the game.
+
+Lila and Ben were sad and hurt. They did not like Tom. They did not want to play with him again. They hugged each other and walked away. They wished they had won the game. They wished Tom was nice.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to play in the park. One day, she saw a big dog with silver fur and a long tail. She wanted to pet the dog, so she ran towards it.
+
+But the dog did not like Sara. It barked and growled and showed its teeth. It was an ugly dog, and it scared Sara. She stopped and cried.
+
+"Hey, leave her alone!" a voice said. Sara looked and saw a boy with a red hat and a bike. He came to help Sara. He threw a stick and the dog ran after it.
+
+"Are you okay?" the boy asked Sara.
+
+"Yes, thank you," Sara said. She wiped her tears and smiled.
+
+"I'm Tom. What's your name?" the boy said.
+
+"I'm Sara. Nice to meet you," Sara said.
+
+"Nice to meet you too. Do you want to play with me?" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, please. Can I ride your bike?" Sara said.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. It's fast," Tom said.
+
+They became friends and played in the park. They forgot about the ugly dog. They had fun.
+Tom and Anna liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different shapes and colors. They liked to make towers and houses and cars with their blocks.
+
+One day, they found a new block in their toy box. It was a square block, but it was unusual. It was shiny and had strange marks on it. Tom and Anna wondered what it was.
+
+"Maybe it is a magic block," Tom said. "Maybe it can do something special."
+
+"Let's try it," Anna said. "Maybe we can unite it with our other blocks and make something amazing."
+
+They took the unusual square block and tried to fit it with their other blocks. But it did not fit. It was too big or too small or too slippery. They tried harder and harder, but they could not unite it with any block.
+
+They got angry and frustrated. They started to argue and blame each other.
+
+"It is your fault," Tom said. "You are not good at building."
+
+"No, it is your fault," Anna said. "You are not careful and you break everything."
+
+They pushed and pulled and shouted. They forgot to be nice and share. They forgot to have fun and be friends.
+
+The unusual square block saw them fighting. It did not like it. It wanted to teach them a lesson. It started to glow and make a loud noise. It sent out a bright flash of light.
+
+Tom and Anna felt a shock. They dropped the block and covered their eyes. When they opened them, they saw something terrible. They had changed places. Tom was in Anna's body and Anna was in Tom's body. They looked at each other and screamed.
+
+The unusual square block laughed. It had done its magic. It had united them in a way they did not want. It had punished them for being mean and selfish.
+
+Tom and Anna cried and hugged each other. They were sorry for what they had done. They wanted to go back to normal. But they did not know how. The unusual square block did not tell them. It did not care. It was happy with its trick. It was a bad block. It was a bad ending.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a stream with water and fish. They wanted to cross the stream and see the other side.
+
+Tom found a big stick. He said, "I can use this stick to walk on the water. It is thick and strong. Come on, Lily, follow me."
+
+Lily looked at the stick and the water. She was scared. She said, "No, Tom, I don't want to. The water is deep and cold. The stick might break. We might fall. I refuse to go with you."
+
+Tom said, "Don't be silly, Lily. It is fun and easy. Look, I can do it." He put the stick on the water and stepped on it. He moved the stick forward and stepped again.
+
+But then, the stick snapped. Tom lost his balance and splashed into the water. He cried, "Help, help, I'm wet and cold."
+
+Lily ran to the edge of the stream. She shouted, "Tom, Tom, are you okay? Hold on, I'll get help."
+
+She saw a man and a woman nearby. They were Tom and Lily's parents. They heard the noise and came running. They saw Tom in the water and Lily on the bank.
+
+They quickly pulled Tom out of the water. They wrapped him in a towel and hugged him. They said, "Tom, Tom, what were you doing? You could have drowned. You were very foolish and dangerous."
+
+Tom was sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I wanted to cross the stream with a stick. But the stick broke and I fell. I won't do it again."
+
+Lily said, "I'm sorry, too. I refused to go with Tom. I was scared. But I tried to help him. I called you."
+
+The parents said, "Lily, you did the right thing. You were brave and smart. You saved Tom. We are proud of you."
+
+They took Tom and Lily home. They gave them warm clothes and hot chocolate. They said, "We love you both. But please, don't play near the stream again. It is too dangerous. Next time, we can go to the bridge and see the fish from there. It is safer and nicer."
+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They wanted to see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Tim," Sam said. "Maybe we can find something fun."
+
+"No, Sam," Tim said. "Mom said we should not go out of the yard. It is not safe."
+
+Sam did not listen to Tim. He was curious and brave. He crawled through the hole and ran to the other side. Tim followed him. He did not want to be alone.
+
+They saw a big house with a big yard. There were many toys and flowers and trees. They also saw a big dog. The dog was sleeping under a tree.
+
+"Wow, look at that dog," Sam said. "He is so big and fluffy. I want to pet him."
+
+"No, Sam," Tim said. "We don't know the dog. He might be angry or mean. We should go back."
+
+Sam did not listen to Tim. He walked slowly to the dog. He reached out his hand to touch the dog's fur.
+
+The dog woke up. He saw Sam. He did not like strangers. He growled and barked. He showed his teeth. He jumped at Sam.
+
+Sam was scared. He screamed. He tried to run away. But the dog was faster. He bit Sam's leg. Sam fell to the ground. He cried and cried.
+
+Tim was scared too. He ran to Sam. He tried to help him. He shouted at the dog. "Go away, bad dog! Leave us alone!"
+
+The dog did not listen to Tim. He was angry and hungry. He wanted to bite Tim too.
+
+Then, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. The sky was dark and cloudy. It was going to rain.
+
+The dog did not like thunder. He was afraid of it. He ran away from the boys. He hid under the tree.
+
+Tim and Sam were still on the ground. They were hurt and wet and cold. They wanted to go home. They wanted their mom.
+
+But they did not know how to go back. They did not see the hole in the fence. They did not see anyone who could help them. They were lost and alone.
+
+They tried to speak to each other. But they could not hear each other. The thunder was too loud. It was louder and louder.
+
+They hugged each other. They hoped someone would find them. They hoped the thunder would stop.
+
+But it did not. It was the biggest thunder they ever heard. It shook the ground. It broke the tree. It fell on the dog. It fell on the boys.
+
+They did not speak anymore. They did not cry anymore. They did not move anymore. They were gone.
+Sara and Ben are playing dress-up in their room. They have many cloths of different colors and shapes. Sara likes to wear a pink cloth as a dress and a yellow cloth as a hat. Ben likes to wear a blue cloth as a cape and a green cloth as a mask.
+
+They pretend to be a princess and a superhero. They have fun making up stories and acting them out. Sometimes they laugh, sometimes they shout, sometimes they sing.
+
+One day, they find a new cloth in their closet. It is red and shiny and has a big bow on it. Sara and Ben are curious. They want to try it on.
+
+"Can I wear it first?" Sara asks.
+
+"No, I want to wear it first!" Ben says.
+
+They both pull on the cloth. They tug and tug. They do not want to share.
+
+Suddenly, the cloth rips. The bow falls off. Sara and Ben are shocked. They look at the torn cloth. They feel sad and sorry.
+
+They hear their mom coming upstairs. They are afraid she will be angry. They quickly hide the cloth and the bow under the bed.
+
+"Hi, kids. What are you doing?" Mom asks.
+
+"Nothing, Mom. Just playing dress-up," Sara says.
+
+"Yeah, just playing dress-up," Ben says.
+
+Mom smiles. She sees the cloths on the floor. She picks up a dry one and wipes their faces.
+
+"You look very cute in your costumes," she says. "But it's time to clean up now. Can you help me put the cloths back in the closet?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They help Mom tidy up the room. They do not tell her about the red cloth and the bow. They feel guilty.
+
+Later, when Mom is downstairs, Sara and Ben look at each other. They know they did something wrong. They decide to tell Mom the truth.
+
+They go downstairs and find Mom in the kitchen. They hold the red cloth and the bow in their hands.
+
+"Mom, we have something to tell you," Sara says.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom. We broke your cloth," Ben says.
+
+Mom looks at them. She sees the red cloth and the bow. She recognizes them. They are from her old dress. She used to wear it when she was young. She loved it very much.
+
+She is not angry. She is surprised and touched. She hugs Sara and Ben.
+
+"Thank you for telling me the truth," she says. "I'm not mad at you. I know you didn't mean to break it. It was an accident."
+
+She takes the red cloth and the bow. She tells them a story about her dress. She tells them how she wore it to a party when she met their dad. She tells them how he gave her a kiss and a rose. She tells them how happy she was.
+
+Sara and Ben listen to her story. They feel happy too. They love their mom. They love her dress. They love her red cloth and her bow. They ask her if they can keep them.
+
+"Of course you can," Mom says. "They are yours now. You can use them to play dress-up. Or you can make something new out of them. Maybe a pillow or a scarf or a doll. Whatever you like."
+
+Sara and Ben smile. They thank Mom. They hug her again. They run back to their room. They have a new idea. They want to make a gift for Mom. They want to use the red cloth and the bow. They want to make her happy. They want to say sorry. They want to say I love you.
+Lily loved lollipops. She liked to lick them and make them smaller and smaller. She had many colors of lollipops in her bag. She always took one with her when she went to the park.
+
+One day, she saw a boy crying on a bench. He had no lollipop. He had no toy. He had no friend. Lily felt sad for him. She walked to him and said, "Hi, I am Lily. Do you want a lollipop?"
+
+The boy looked at her and nodded. He wiped his tears and smiled. "Thank you, Lily. I am Ben. I have no lollipop. I have no toy. I have no friend. You are very nice."
+
+Lily gave him a red lollipop. It was her favorite. She said, "You can have it. It is very yummy. You can also play with me. I have a ball. We can be friends."
+
+Ben took the lollipop and licked it. It was very yummy. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. I like your ball. We can be friends."
+
+They played together and had fun. They shared their lollipops and their toys. They laughed and hugged. They were happy.
+
+Lily's mom saw them and was proud of her. She said, "Lily, you are a good girl. You shared your lollipop and your toy. You made a new friend. You are very sweet."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I like to share. I like to make friends. I like to be sweet."
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. It makes you and others happy. It makes you proud.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play together. They have a big toy box with many toys. They have cars, dolls, blocks, books and more.
+
+One day, they want to play with the zip. The zip is a long thing that can open and close. It is on their jacket. They take off their jacket and put it on the floor. They pull the zip up and down. It makes a funny sound.
+
+"Zip, zip, zip!" they say and laugh.
+
+But then, they have a problem. They both want to hold the zip. They pull it from each other.
+
+"Mine!" says Ben.
+
+"No, mine!" says Mia.
+
+They pull harder and harder. The zip breaks. It separates into two parts. One part stays on the jacket. The other part comes off. They are sad and angry.
+
+"Look what you did!" says Ben.
+
+"You did it!" says Mia.
+
+They start to cry. They do not want to play together anymore.
+
+Mom hears them cry. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken zip and the twins.
+
+"What happened here?" she asks.
+
+They tell her what happened. They blame each other.
+
+Mom is not happy. She says, "You need to share and be nice. The zip is not a toy. It is for your jacket. Now it is broken and we need to fix it. You are not clever. You are silly."
+
+She takes the jacket and the zip. She says, "You need to say sorry to each other and hug. Then you can play with your toys. But not with the zip. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Mia nod. They feel sorry. They say sorry to each other and hug. They are friends again.
+
+They go to the toy box and pick some toys. They play together. They are clever and happy.
+Lily and Tom were going to visit Grandma for the weekend. They had to pack their bags with clothes, toys and books. Lily liked to pack her bag by herself. She put in her pink dress, her teddy bear and her favorite storybook. Tom needed help from Mom to pack his bag. He put in his blue shirt, his car and his puzzle.
+
+Mom and Dad also packed their bags. They put in clothes, toothbrushes and snacks. They also packed a cake for Grandma. Mom had baked the cake in the oven. It was a chocolate cake with white frosting and sprinkles. It smelled yummy and looked pretty.
+
+They put all their bags in the car and drove to Grandma's house. Grandma was very happy to see them. She hugged and kissed them and invited them inside. She had made lunch for them. It was soup and sandwiches. Lily and Tom liked soup and sandwiches. They ate them all up and said thank you.
+
+After lunch, Mom said she had a surprise for Grandma. She took out the cake from the bag and put it on the table. Grandma smiled and said it looked delicious. She cut a slice for everyone and gave them plates and forks. Lily and Tom took a bite of the cake and made a face. It tasted disgusting. It was not chocolate, it was cheese. Mom had packed the wrong cake. She had packed the cheese cake that Dad had made for his work party. Dad had baked the cheese cake in the oven. It smelled bad and looked ugly.
+
+Mom and Dad were very sorry and embarrassed. They apologized to Grandma and said they would buy a new cake. Grandma laughed and said it was okay. She said she liked cheese cake and ate her slice. She said it was a funny mistake and they could all laugh about it later. Lily and Tom did not like cheese cake. They gave their slices to Grandma and asked for some cookies instead. Grandma gave them some cookies and milk. They liked cookies and milk. They ate them all up and said thank you.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. They had a bucket and a shovel each.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Ben said, holding up a long, slimy thing.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's a good worm. Can I see?" Lily asked, walking over to him.
+
+As they were looking at the worm, they heard a loud noise. It sounded like something was moving under the ground. They saw a big pile of dirt rise up and then fall down.
+
+"What is that?" Lily said, scared.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's a mole," Ben said, curious.
+
+They decided to go closer and see. They walked slowly to the pile of dirt. They saw a small hole in the middle. They peeked inside.
+
+They saw a huge mole. It had a long nose, small eyes, and sharp teeth. It was preparing to dig another tunnel. It saw them and made a loud snort.
+
+"Hello, mole," Ben said, bravely.
+
+"Go away, kids," the mole said, grumpily. "This is my home. You are making too much noise."
+
+"Sorry, mole. We didn't mean to bother you. We were just playing," Lily said, politely.
+
+"Well, play somewhere else. And don't touch my worms. They are my food," the mole said, sternly.
+
+"Okay, mole. We will leave you alone. Bye, mole," Ben said, friendly.
+
+They took their bucket and shovel and ran back to their house. They told their mom about the huge mole. She was surprised and gave them a hug.
+
+They learned that moles are not very nice, but they are also not very mean. They are just busy and hungry. They decided to let the mole have his space and play in another part of the garden.
+Ben and Mia like to swim in the pool. They have fun splashing and kicking the water. They wear floaties on their arms to stay up.
+
+One day, Ben sees a big ball in the pool. He wants to play with it. He takes off his floaties and swims to the ball. He grabs the ball and tries to throw it to Mia.
+
+But Ben is not strong enough to throw the ball. The ball is too heavy for him. He lets go of the ball and starts to sink. He feels scared and tries to call Mia.
+
+Mia hears Ben and sees him go under the water. She swims to him as fast as she can. She reaches him and pulls him up. She hugs him and says, "Ben, are you okay? You should not swim without your floaties. You could drown."
+
+Ben coughs and cries. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I wanted to play with the ball. I did not know it was so heavy. I was silly and brave. But I was also stupid and scared."
+
+Mia says, "It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are safe. Next time, ask me to help you with the ball. We can play together. But we have to wear our floaties. They keep us from sinking."
+
+Ben nods and says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good sister. You saved me. I love you."
+
+Mia says, "I love you too, Ben. Come on, let's go back to the pool. But don't forget your floaties."
+Lily liked to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many clothes for them, in different colors and shapes. She liked to hang them on a small rack in her room, like a fashion show. She thought her dolls looked very pretty and fancy.
+
+One day, her friend Max came over to play. He saw Lily's dolls and their clothes. He said, "What are you doing? Those are not regular clothes. They are too big and too bright. Dolls should wear regular clothes, like jeans and shirts."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "No, they are not. They are fashion clothes. They are fun and beautiful. Dolls can wear whatever they want. You are not nice. You are mean."
+
+Max said, "No, I am not. You are silly. You don't know anything about fashion. Fashion is boring and stupid. I like regular clothes. They are cool and comfortable. You should play with regular toys, like cars and trucks."
+
+Lily said, "No, I shouldn't. You should play with fashion toys, like dolls and clothes. They are creative and fun. You are boring and stupid."
+
+They started to argue and shout. They did not want to play together anymore. They grabbed their toys and ran to opposite corners of the room. They glared at each other and pouted.
+
+Lily's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Max sitting apart, with their toys scattered around. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you not playing nicely? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Lily and Max told her what they said to each other. Lily's mom said, "That is not very kind. You should not say hurtful things to your friend. You should respect each other's choices and preferences. You can like different things and still be friends. You can learn from each other and share your toys. You can have fun together."
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry. We were not kind. We will respect each other. We will learn and share. We will have fun."
+
+They hugged and apologized. They decided to play together again. They tried each other's toys and clothes. They found out that they both liked some of the same things and some of the different things. They had fun and laughed. They hung their clothes on the rack and made a fashion show. They said, "We are friends. We like fashion and regular. We like dolls and cars. We like each other."
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. Sara had a blue scarf that she tied around her head like a bandana. Tom had a chain that he wore around his neck like a necklace.
+
+"Look, Sara, I found a big chest!" Tom said, pointing to a wooden box under a tree. "Maybe it has gold and jewels inside!"
+
+"Let's open it, Tom!" Sara said, running to the box. "Maybe we can serve it to our pirate crew!"
+
+They lifted the lid of the box and saw a shiny metal thing inside. It looked like a big pot with a handle and a spout.
+
+"What is this, Tom?" Sara asked, curious.
+
+"I don't know, Sara. Maybe it's a magic pot that can make anything we want!" Tom said, excited.
+
+He grabbed the handle and lifted the pot out of the box. He tilted it over his head and said, "I wish for chocolate!"
+
+But nothing came out of the spout. Instead, a loud hissing sound filled the air. Tom felt a hot liquid splash on his face and neck. He screamed and dropped the pot.
+
+"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Sara asked, scared.
+
+She looked at Tom and saw that his skin was red and blistered. He was crying and shaking. He had found a kettle, not a pot, and it was full of boiling water.
+
+"Help, help, someone help us!" Sara shouted, hoping someone would hear them.
+
+But no one came. They were alone in the park. The chest was a trap, not a treasure. And the chain around Tom's neck was too tight to take off. He had burned himself badly, and he might not get better. Sara wished they had never played pirates. She wished they had stayed home. She wished she could make Tom happy again. But she couldn't. She could only hug him and cry.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but they did not like to put them away. Their room was very messy, with toys on the floor, on the bed, and on the shelves. Their mom always told them to tidy their room, but they did not listen. They said they were too busy having fun.
+
+One day, mom said she had a surprise for them. She said they had to tidy their room first, and then they could see the surprise. Tim and Sam did not want to tidy their room. They thought it was boring. They wanted to see the surprise right away. They decided to trick mom. They took a big blanket and threw it over the toys on the floor. They said they were done tidying their room.
+
+Mom came to check their room. She saw the blanket on the floor. She knew they were lying. She said she was very disappointed in them. She said they could not see the surprise until they really tidied their room. She said she would come back later.
+
+Tim and Sam were angry and sad. They wanted to see the surprise. They did not want to tidy their room. They started to argue and blame each other. They said it was the other's fault. They pushed and shoved each other. They did not see the toys under the blanket. They did not see the toy car, the toy train, and the toy ball.
+
+Tim stepped on the toy car. He slipped and fell. He hit his head on the toy train. He cried. Sam laughed. He thought it was funny. He did not help Tim. He walked over to the toy ball. He kicked it hard. He did not see the toy plane. He tripped and fell. He hit his nose on the toy plane. He cried. Tim laughed. He thought it was funny. He did not help Sam.
+
+Mom heard the cries and the laughs. She came back to the room. She saw Tim and Sam on the floor. She saw the toys under the blanket. She saw the blood on their faces. She was very angry and sad. She said they were very naughty and foolish. She said they hurt themselves and each other. She said they did not deserve the surprise. She said they had to clean their room and say sorry to each other.
+
+Tim and Sam realized they were wrong. They felt sorry for themselves and each other. They said sorry to mom and to each other. They hugged and kissed. They cleaned their room and put away their toys. They made their room very tidy. They asked mom for the surprise. Mom smiled. She said they learned their lesson. She said they could see the surprise. She took them to the backyard. She showed them a big swing set. Tim and Sam were very happy. They thanked mom. They played on the swing set. They shared and helped each other. They did not fight or laugh at each other. They had fun.
+Lily and Tom like to play in the park. They like to collect things they find. They collect leaves, rocks, sticks and flowers. They put them in a big basket.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and brown. It has sharp teeth and a loud bark. It looks fierce. Lily and Tom are scared of the dog.
+
+The dog runs to their basket. It smells the meat they have for lunch. It wants the meat. It growls and snaps at the basket. Lily and Tom scream and run away.
+
+A man hears them scream. He is the dog's owner. He runs to the dog and calls its name. He says, "Rex, stop! Bad dog! Leave the basket alone!" He puts a leash on the dog and says sorry to Lily and Tom.
+
+Lily and Tom are glad the man came. They go back to their basket. The dog did not eat their meat. They are hungry. They share their meat and bread. They are happy. They say, "We like to collect things, but not fierce dogs!"
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bush with red berries. They are hungry and want to eat the berries.
+
+"Look, Sue, berries!" Tom says. "They are red and sweet. Let's pick some and eat them."
+
+"OK, Tom, but we have to be careful. Some berries are bad and make us sick. We have to tell Mom first." Sue says.
+
+They run to Mom, who is sitting on a bench. They show her the berries they picked.
+
+"Mom, can we eat these berries?" Tom asks. "They look yummy."
+
+Mom smiles and takes a berry. She smells it and tastes it. She nods.
+
+"Yes, you can eat these berries. They are good and safe. They are called strawberries. They grow in the summer. You can eat them with cream or sugar, or just like that." Mom tells them.
+
+"Yay, strawberries!" Tom and Sue say. They thank Mom and run back to the bush. They eat the berries and enjoy them. They have long and sticky tongues from the juice. They laugh and share the berries with each other. They are happy and full.
+Ben is a boy who likes fish. He has a tank with many fish in his room. He likes to watch them swim and play. He feeds them every day and says hello to them.
+
+One day, Ben's mom tells him to clean his tank. She says the water is dirty and the fish need fresh water. Ben does not want to clean his tank. He thinks it is too hard and boring. He wants to play with his toys and watch TV.
+
+He tells his mom he will clean his tank later. But he does not. He forgets about his tank and his fish. He plays with his toys and watches TV all day. He does not feed his fish or say hello to them.
+
+The next day, Ben's mom comes to his room. She sees his tank. She is very angry and sad. The water is very dirty and smelly. The fish are not swimming or playing. They are floating on the top of the water. They are dead.
+
+She tells Ben what happened. She says he did not take care of his fish. He did not clean his tank. He did not love his fish. He is a bad boy.
+
+Ben feels very sorry and sad. He cries and says he is sorry. He says he loves his fish. He says he will clean his tank. But it is too late. His fish are gone. He has no fish to watch or play with.
+
+He sees something hairy on his bed. It is his cat. His cat is looking at him. His cat is hungry. His cat jumps on his bed and scratches his face. Ben screams and runs away. His cat chases him. His mom does not help him. She is too angry and sad. Ben has a bad day.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the forest. They liked to look for pine cones and make crafts with them. One day, they saw a big brown bear sleeping under a pine tree. Lily wanted to get closer and touch the bear, but Tom was afraid.
+
+"Let's go away, Lily. The bear might wake up and be angry," Tom said.
+
+"No, Tom. The bear looks so soft and cute. I want to pet him. Maybe he will be our friend," Lily said.
+
+Tom did not think that was a good idea. He remembered what his mom had told him about wild animals. He tried to recommend Lily to stay away from the bear, but she did not listen. She walked slowly towards the bear, holding a pine cone in her hand.
+
+The bear heard Lily's footsteps and opened his eyes. He saw Lily and the pine cone. He thought she was trying to take his food. He growled and jumped up, ready to attack. Lily was scared and dropped the pine cone. She ran back to Tom, who was hiding behind a bush.
+
+"Tom, help me! The bear is chasing me!" Lily cried.
+
+Tom grabbed Lily's hand and they ran as fast as they could. They reached the edge of the forest and saw their house. They ran inside and slammed the door. The bear stopped and went back to his pine tree. He was not interested in chasing them anymore. He just wanted to sleep and eat his pine cones.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect wild animals and not to bother them. They also learned to listen to their friends and their parents when they recommend something for their safety. They decided to play with their pine cones inside the house from then on. They were happy and grateful to be safe and sound.
+One day, a seal named Sam saw a big rock on the beach. He wanted to play with it, but it was too heavy to move. He asked his friend, a crab named Carl, for help.
+
+"Carl, can you help me move this rock? It looks fun to play with," Sam said.
+
+"Sure, Sam, I can help you. But how can we move it? It is very big and hard," Carl said.
+
+They thought for a while, and then they had an idea. They found a stick and put it under the rock. They pushed the stick with all their strength, and the rock split in two.
+
+"Wow, look at that! The rock split in two! Now we have two rocks to play with!" Sam said.
+
+They were very happy, until they saw something inside the rock. It was a colorful shell, with shiny and sparkly patterns. It was very pretty and made a soft sound when they shook it.
+
+"Wow, look at that! The rock had a shell inside! It is so colorful and pretty! Can I have it, Sam?" Carl said.
+
+Sam looked at the shell and liked it too. He wanted to have it, but he also wanted to be a good friend.
+
+"Carl, you helped me split the rock, so you can have the shell. But can I play with it sometimes?" Sam said.
+
+Carl smiled and nodded. He thanked Sam for being a good friend, and they shared the shell. They played with the shell and the rocks, and had a lot of fun. They learned that sometimes, splitting things can make them more fun and beautiful.
+Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. Sara has a red ball in her pocket. She wants to show it to Tom.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have a ball!" Sara says. She takes the ball out of her pocket and throws it to Tom.
+
+Tom catches the ball and smiles. "Wow, Sara, your ball is very nice. Can I throw it back to you?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, Tom, you can throw it back to me. But be careful, don't throw it too far or too high," Sara says.
+
+Tom nods and throws the ball to Sara. But he throws it too hard and too fast. The ball flies over Sara's head and lands in a puddle. The puddle is very wet and muddy.
+
+"Oh no, Tom, you threw the ball too far and too high. Now the ball is wet and dirty," Sara says. She runs to the puddle and picks up the ball. The ball is dripping with water and mud.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara, I didn't mean to throw it too far and too high. I was just having fun," Tom says. He runs to Sara and hugs her. "Can you forgive me, Sara? Can we still be friends?"
+
+Sara looks at Tom and smiles. She hugs him back. "It's okay, Tom, I forgive you. We can still be friends. But next time, please be more careful with my ball," she says.
+
+"Okay, Sara, I will be more careful with your ball. Can we play with it again?" Tom asks.
+
+Sara nods and wipes the ball with her shirt. She puts the ball back in her pocket and closes it. "Yes, Tom, we can play with it again. But let's play somewhere else, not near the puddle," she says.
+
+"Okay, Sara, let's play somewhere else, not near the puddle," Tom says.
+
+They hold hands and run to the swings. They laugh and swing and have fun. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tom wants to go on the slide, but Jen is scared. She says the slide is too high and too fast.
+
+Tom says, "Don't be scared, Jen. It is fun. I will go first and show you." He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top and looks down. He feels cold in his tummy. He thinks maybe Jen is right. Maybe the slide is too high and too fast.
+
+But he does not want to look silly. He does not want Jen to laugh at him. He says, "Here I go!" and pushes himself down the slide. He goes very fast and feels the wind in his face. He screams and closes his eyes. He does not like it.
+
+He lands on the ground and hurts his knee. He cries and holds his knee. Jen runs to him and hugs him. She says, "Are you okay, Tom? I am sorry you got hurt. I did not laugh at you. I was worried about you."
+
+Tom says, "Thank you, Jen. You are a good friend. I am sorry I did not listen to you. You were right. The slide was too high and too fast for me. I was scared, but I did not want to say it. I wanted to be brave, but I was not."
+
+Jen says, "It is okay, Tom. You are brave for trying something new. But you do not have to do things you do not like. You can say no. You can say how you feel. I will not judge you. I will understand you. That is what friends do. They let each other be true."
+
+Tom smiles and says, "You are right, Jen. That is what friends do. They let each other be true. And they help each other when they are hurt. Thank you for being my friend."
+
+They hug and walk to the swings. They play and have fun. They are happy. They are true. They are friends.
+Lily loved to sing. She sang all day long. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang happy songs, sad songs, silly songs, and loud songs. She sang to her mom, her dad, her dog, and her toys. She sang because it made her feel good.
+
+One day, Lily's mom told her that she had a surprise for her. She said they were going to a big place where many people sang together. Lily was very excited. She asked her mom what the place was called. Her mom said it was called a choir. Lily did not know what a choir was, but she wanted to find out.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the big place. Lily saw a big building with a lot of windows and a big door. She saw many people going inside. Some of them were holding books and some of them were wearing robes. Lily asked her mom if they were going to sing too. Her mom said yes, they were going to sing with the choir. Lily felt nervous. She had never sung with so many people before. She wondered if they would like her songs.
+
+They went inside and found a seat. Lily saw a man standing in front of the choir. He had a stick and a smile. He said hello to everyone and asked them to stand up. He said they were going to sing a song that Lily knew. It was a song about the sun and the moon and the stars. Lily liked that song. She sang it at home sometimes. The man said they were going to sing it together. He raised his stick and the choir began to sing.
+
+Lily listened to the choir. They sounded beautiful. They sounded like one big voice. Lily wanted to join them. She looked at her mom. Her mom smiled and nodded. She said, "You can sing too, Lily. I trust you. You have a lovely voice. Just follow the man and the choir. They will help you." Lily felt brave. She opened her mouth and sang. She sang with the choir. She sang about the sun and the moon and the stars. She sang with all her heart.
+
+The song ended and the choir stopped. The man lowered his stick and clapped his hands. He said, "That was wonderful. Thank you, choir. And thank you, Lily. You sang very well. You have a gift. You should be proud of yourself." The choir clapped too. They said, "Bravo, Lily. Bravo." Lily felt happy. She felt proud. She looked at her mom. Her mom hugged her and kissed her. She said, "I'm so proud of you, Lily. You did great. You are my star." Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love to sing."
+Tom is a boy who likes to dress up. He has many hats and coats and shoes in his closet. He likes to pretend he is a pirate or a cowboy or a king. He has a hook for his hand and a patch for his eye when he is a pirate. He has a hat and a rope and a horse when he is a cowboy. He has a crown and a robe and a scepter when he is a king.
+
+One day, Tom wants to dress up as a pirate. He puts on his hook and his patch and his coat. He looks for his hat, but he cannot find it. He looks in his closet, but it is not there. He looks under his bed, but it is not there. He looks in his toy box, but it is not there. He is sad. He wants his hat.
+
+He goes to his mom and asks her, "Mom, where is my hat?" But his mom does not hear him. His mom is deaf. She cannot hear what he says. She only sees his lips move. She smiles and nods, but she does not know what he wants. Tom is frustrated. He wants his hat.
+
+He goes to his dad and asks him, "Dad, where is my hat?" But his dad does not see him. His dad is busy. He is reading a book. He does not look at Tom. He only says, "Not now, son. I'm busy." Tom is angry. He wants his hat.
+
+He goes to his sister and asks her, "Sis, where is my hat?" But his sister does not care. His sister is mean. She is playing with her dolls. She does not like Tom. She only says, "Go away, Tom. You are silly. You are not a pirate. You are a baby." Tom is hurt. He wants his hat.
+
+He goes to his room and cries. He does not want to play anymore. He does not want to dress up. He does not want to be a pirate. He only wants his hat.
+
+Then, he sees something on the wall. It is his hat. It is hanging on a hook. He forgot he put it there. He is happy. He jumps and grabs his hat. He puts it on his head. He feels like a pirate again. He smiles and says, "Arrr!" He goes to his closet and gets his sword. He goes to his bed and makes it his ship. He goes to his window and looks for treasure. He has fun. He loves his hat. He loves his hook. He loves to dress up.
+Lily did not like school. She thought it was boring. She had to sit and listen to the teacher talk and talk. She had to write letters and numbers on her paper. She had to be quiet and raise her hand. She wanted to play and have fun.
+
+One day, Lily had a big dream. She dreamed that she was in a magic land. There were flowers and trees and animals everywhere. She could fly and sing and dance. She met a fairy who gave her a wand. She could make anything she wanted with her wand. She was happy and free.
+
+"Hello, Lily," the fairy said. "Do you like it here?"
+
+"Yes, I love it!" Lily said. "Can I stay here forever?"
+
+The fairy smiled. "No, Lily. This is only a dream. You have to wake up and go to school. But you can always come back here when you sleep."
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not want to leave. She wanted to stay with the fairy and the magic.
+
+"Why do I have to go to school?" she asked. "School is boring. I don't like letters and numbers. I like magic and fun."
+
+The fairy hugged her. "School is important, Lily. You have to learn letters and numbers. They are not boring. They are tools. You can use them to make your own magic and fun. You can write stories and poems and songs. You can read books and learn new things. You can share your ideas and feelings with others. You can be creative and smart and kind."
+
+Lily thought about what the fairy said. She liked stories and poems and songs. She liked books and new things. She liked to be creative and smart and kind. Maybe letters and numbers were not so bad after all.
+
+"OK, fairy," she said. "I will try to like school. But can I still dream of you and the magic land?"
+
+"Of course, Lily," the fairy said. "You can always dream of me and the magic land. And I will always dream of you and your school. We are friends, Lily. And friends are the best magic of all."
+
+Lily smiled. She hugged the fairy. She felt a warm light in her heart. She opened her eyes. She saw her mom standing by her bed.
+
+"Good morning, Lily," her mom said. "It's time to get up and go to school."
+
+Lily got up and got ready. She put on her clothes and ate her breakfast. She packed her bag and took her paper. She wrote a letter on it. It said:
+
+Dear Fairy,
+
+Thank you for the dream. I like you. I will learn letters and numbers. I will make my own magic and fun. I will see you again when I sleep.
+
+Your friend,
+
+Lily
+
+She smiled and kissed her mom. She went to school. She was not bored. She was curious and happy. She had a friend in her dream. And she had a dream in her heart.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be superheroes. Tom had a red car that he liked very much. He zoomed it around the floor and made it jump over the sofa. Lily had a doll that she dressed up and hugged. She gave it a name and a voice.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A thief came into the house. He was very sneaky and quiet. He saw the toys and wanted to take them. He grabbed the red car and the doll and put them in his bag. He was about to leave when Tom and Lily saw him.
+
+"Hey, that's our toys!" Tom shouted. "Give them back!"
+
+The thief was scared and ran away. He dropped the bag and ran out the door. Tom and Lily chased him, but he was too fast. They were very frustrated and sad. They wanted their toys back.
+
+But they did not give up. They had an idea. They decided to solve the problem. They looked around and saw a clue. The thief had left his hat on the floor. It was a big, black hat with a feather. Tom and Lily picked it up and followed the feather. It was blowing in the wind and pointing the way.
+
+They ran after the feather and saw the thief. He was hiding behind a tree. He thought he was safe, but he was wrong. Tom and Lily surprised him and grabbed his bag. They opened it and found their toys. They were very happy and proud.
+
+"Ha, we got you!" Lily said. "You are a bad thief. You should not take things that are not yours."
+
+The thief was ashamed and sorry. He gave back the hat and said he was sorry. He said he would not do it again. Tom and Lily forgave him and told him to be good. They went back to their house and played with their toys. They had learned a lesson. They were brave and smart. They could solve any problem. They were superheroes.
+Lily was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her dolls and her books. She had a pink dress with a buckle on the back. She liked to twist the buckle when she was nervous.
+
+One day, her mom took her to the park. There were many kids there. They ran and laughed and played. Lily felt scared. She held her mom's hand and twisted her buckle.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a girl with a doll like yours. Why don't you go and say hello?" her mom said.
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not want to go. She twisted her buckle harder.
+
+The girl with the doll saw Lily and smiled. She walked over to her and said, "Hi, I'm Mia. What's your name?"
+
+Lily looked at Mia. She saw that Mia had a blue dress with a buckle on the back. She also saw that Mia twisted her buckle a little.
+
+Lily felt less scared. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. I like your doll."
+
+Mia said, "Thank you. I like yours too. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily nodded. She let go of her mom's hand and followed Mia to the swings. They pushed each other and giggled. They showed each other their dolls and their buckles. They twisted them together.
+
+Lily was shy. But she made a new friend. She was happy.
+Tim and Tom are brothers. They like to eat meat. Meat is good and tasty. But meat is expensive. Mom and Dad do not have much money. They cannot buy meat every day.
+
+One day, Tim and Tom see a big truck. The truck has many boxes of meat. The truck stops at a store. The driver goes inside. Tim and Tom have an idea. They want to take some meat from the truck. They think Mom and Dad will be happy.
+
+They run to the truck. They open a box. They see many steaks. They grab some steaks. They put them in their bags. They run away. They do not see the driver. They do not see the police.
+
+They go home. They show Mom and Dad the steaks. They say they found them on the road. Mom and Dad are not happy. They are angry. They know Tim and Tom are lying. They know they stole the meat. They call the police. They discuss with the police. They say they are sorry. They say they will pay for the meat.
+
+The police take Tim and Tom to the station. They talk to them. They tell them stealing is bad. They tell them they have to go to court. They tell them they may have to go to jail. Tim and Tom are scared. They cry. They wish they did not take the meat. They wish they listened to Mom and Dad. They wish they had a good ending.
+Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. They were loyal to each other and never fought.
+
+One day, Ben found a note under his pillow. It said: "I have a secret. Meet me at the big tree after school. Your friend, Mia." Ben was curious and excited. He wanted to know Mia's secret.
+
+He ran to the big tree as soon as school was over. He saw Mia waiting for him with a big smile. "Hi, Ben!" she said. "I have something to show you. Come with me."
+
+She took his hand and led him to a small hole in the ground. She bent down and pulled out a shiny box. "Look what I found!" she said. "It's a treasure!"
+
+Ben's eyes widened. He reached out to touch the box. It looked like it had jewels and coins inside. "Wow!" he said. "Can I see?"
+
+Mia nodded. She handed him the box. "But be careful," she said. "You have to twist it the right way to open it. Like this." She showed him how to turn a knob on the side of the box.
+
+Ben tried to copy her. He twisted the knob slowly. He heard a click. He smiled. He thought he had opened the box.
+
+But he was wrong. The box was not a treasure. It was a trap. As soon as he twisted the knob, a loud bang came out of the box. A cloud of smoke and dust filled the air. Ben screamed. He dropped the box. He felt a sharp pain in his hand. He looked down and saw blood.
+
+Mia laughed. She was not his friend. She was mean. She had tricked him. She had put the note under his pillow. She had found the box in a garbage can. She had known it was a trap. She had wanted to hurt him.
+
+She ran away, leaving him alone and injured. She did not care about him. She was not loyal.
+
+Ben cried. He felt betrayed and sad. He wished he had never seen the note. He wished he had never met Mia. He wished he had a real friend.
+Sara was bored. She did not want to play with her toys. She did not want to watch TV. She did not want to read a book. She wanted to go outside and see the birds and the flowers. But Mom said no. It was too cold and wet.
+
+Sara looked out the window. She saw a big puddle. She wanted to jump in it and make a splash. She saw a red ball. She wanted to kick it and make it fly. She saw a cat. She wanted to pet it and make it purr. But Mom said no. She had to stay inside and be quiet.
+
+Sara sighed. She walked around the house. She saw a door. It was closed. She wondered what was behind it. She had never been there before. She reached for the knob. She turned it. She opened the door. She saw stairs. They went up and up. She wanted to climb them and see what was up there. But Mom said no. She had to stay downstairs and be safe.
+
+Sara did not listen. She was bored. She wanted to have fun. She stepped on the first stair. It made a noise. She stepped on the second stair. It made a noise. She stepped on the third stair. It made a noise. She liked the noise. It was loud and funny. She stepped on more stairs. They made more noise. She laughed and laughed.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She ran to the door. She saw Sara on the stairs. She was angry and scared. She yelled at Sara. She told her to come down. She told her she was naughty and could get hurt. She told her she was sorry and hugged her. She told her she loved her and wanted her to be happy. She told her she could play with her toys or watch TV or read a book. She told her she could not go outside or upstairs.
+
+Sara was sad. She did not mean to make Mom angry or scared. She said she was sorry and hugged her. She said she loved her and wanted her to be happy. She said she was bored and wanted to have fun. She asked Mom if they could do something together.
+
+Mom smiled. She said yes. She said they could bake a cake or paint a picture or sing a song. She said they could have fun together. She said they could go outside or upstairs later, when it was sunny and dry.
+
+Sara smiled. She said yes. She said she liked cake and painting and singing. She said she liked fun. She said she liked Mom. She said she was not bored anymore. She followed Mom to the kitchen. She stepped on the floor. It did not make a noise. She did not mind. She was happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were a king and a queen. They had a crown made of paper and a cape made of a blanket. They also had a big stick that was their scepter.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the garden. His name was Sam. He saw Ben and Lily and wanted to play with them. He walked up to them and said hello.
+
+"Who are you?" Ben asked. He did not like strangers.
+
+"I'm Sam. I live in the house over there. Can I play with you?" Sam said. He pointed to his house.
+
+Ben looked at Lily. Lily looked at Ben. They did not know what to say. They liked their game and did not want to share.
+
+"This is our garden. We are the king and the queen. You can't play with us," Ben said. He held his stick tight.
+
+Sam felt sad. He did not have any friends in the new place. He liked the crown and the cape and the stick. He wanted to be a king too.
+
+"Why can't I play with you?" Sam asked. He did not understand.
+
+"Because we are the king and the queen and you are not. Go away," Ben said. He was mean.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Sam. She did not like Ben's words. She thought Sam looked nice. She wanted to be kind.
+
+"Ben, that's not nice. Sam can play with us. We can have three kings and queens. It will be more fun," Lily said. She smiled at Sam.
+
+Ben did not like Lily's words. He did not want to share. He wanted to be the only king.
+
+"No, he can't. This is our game. He can play something else," Ben said. He was angry.
+
+Lily did not like Ben's anger. She did not want to fight. She wanted to play.
+
+"Ben, please. Sam is new here. He needs friends. We can be his friends. We can share our game. It will be nice," Lily said. She was gentle.
+
+Ben looked at Lily. He looked at Sam. He saw their faces. He felt bad. He knew he was wrong. He wanted to be nice too.
+
+"Okay, fine. Sam can play with us. He can be a king too. But he has to make his own crown and cape and stick," Ben said. He was sorry.
+
+Sam was happy. He thanked Ben and Lily. He ran to his house and got some paper and a blanket and a stick. He made his own crown and cape and stick. He came back to the garden and joined Ben and Lily. They played together. They were three kings and queens. They had fun.
+Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They wanted to see the animals. They saw lions, monkeys, birds and more. They had fun.
+
+Then they arrived at the pool where the seals lived. The seals were big and gray. They had long noses and flippers. They made loud noises and splashed in the water. Tom and Lily liked the seals. They wanted to get closer.
+
+"Mom, can we feed the seals?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. Let's buy some fish from the man over there." Mom said.
+
+They bought some fish and walked to the edge of the pool. They saw a seal looking at them. It had black eyes and whiskers. It seemed friendly.
+
+"Hello, seal. Do you want some fish?" Tom said.
+
+The seal nodded and opened its mouth. Tom threw a fish to the seal. The seal caught it and ate it. It clapped its flippers and barked. Tom and Lily laughed.
+
+"That was interesting. Can I try?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course. Here, take a fish." Tom said.
+
+Lily threw a fish to the seal. The seal did the same thing. It clapped and barked. Lily and Tom clapped too. They felt happy.
+
+"Thank you, seal. You are very nice." Lily said.
+
+The seal nodded and waved its flipper. It smiled. Tom and Lily smiled back.
+
+"Bye, seal. We hope to see you again." Tom said.
+
+They waved to the seal and walked away. They had a great day at the zoo. They learned a lot about the animals. They especially liked the seal. It was their new friend.
+Lily was a young cat who liked to play outside. One day, she ran too fast and fell on a sharp rock. She hurt her paw and it bled a lot. She cried and ran back to her home.
+
+Her mom saw her and was worried. She cleaned her paw and put a bandage on it. She said, "Lily, you have to be careful. Your paw needs time to heal. You have to stay inside and rest for a few days."
+
+Lily did not like that. She was impatient and wanted to go outside again. She said, "But mom, I'm bored. I want to play with my friends. My paw is not that bad. Please, can I go outside?"
+
+Her mom shook her head. She said, "No, Lily, you can't. If you go outside, your paw might get worse. You might get an infection or a scar. You have to listen to me. I know what's best for you."
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She did not listen to her mom. She waited until her mom was busy and sneaked out of the door. She ran to the park where her friends were. She wanted to have fun and forget about her paw.
+
+But she made a mistake. Her paw was still sore and weak. She could not run as fast as before. She tripped and fell again. She hurt her paw even more. She cried louder and louder. Her friends heard her and came to help her. They saw her bandage and blood. They said, "Lily, what happened? Why did you come outside? Your mom told you to stay inside and heal."
+
+Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She said, "I know, I know. I was impatient and foolish. I did not listen to my mom. I wanted to play with you. But I made my paw worse. Now it hurts more and more. Please, help me go back home."
+
+Her friends nodded and helped her. They carried her back to her home. Her mom saw her and was shocked. She said, "Lily, what did you do? Why did you disobey me? Look at your paw. It's worse than before. You need to see a vet now."
+
+Lily felt guilty and scared. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry. I was impatient and foolish. I did not listen to you. I wanted to play outside. But I made my paw worse. Please, forgive me. Please, help me heal."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I forgive you, Lily. I love you. But you have to learn from your mistake. You have to be patient and careful. You have to listen to me. I want you to be healthy and happy. Come on, let's go to the vet. He will help you heal."
+Lila and Leo were playing in the forest. They liked to pretend they were hunters and look for animals. They had a big stick that they used as a spear.
+
+"Look, Leo, a rabbit!" Lila whispered. She saw a brown rabbit hopping in the grass. She lifted the stick and threw it at the rabbit. But she missed and the stick landed on a bush.
+
+"Oops!" Lila said. She ran to get the stick. But when she reached the bush, she saw something else. It was a big, black bear. The bear was angry. It growled and showed its teeth.
+
+"Run, Lila, run!" Leo shouted. He saw the bear and was scared. He grabbed Lila's hand and they ran away from the bear. They ran as fast as they could until they reached their house.
+
+They slammed the door and locked it. They were safe. They hugged each other and breathed hard.
+
+"That was close!" Leo said. "Are you okay, Lila?"
+
+"I'm okay, Leo," Lila said. "But I'm hungry. Let's go to the kitchen and find something delicious to eat."
+
+"Okay, Lila," Leo said. "But no more hunting for today. Hunting is too dangerous."
+
+They went to the kitchen and found some cookies and milk. They ate them and smiled. They were happy. They were not hunters, but they were still brave.
+Lila liked to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many dresses of different colors and shapes. She liked to make her dolls look pretty and happy. She also liked to tell them stories and teach them things.
+
+One day, she found a new dress in her closet. It was white and shiny, with many flowers on it. It looked like a dress for a princess. Lila was very happy. She wanted to try it on and show it to her dolls.
+
+She put on the dress and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt like a princess too. She smiled and twirled around. She decided to go to her dolls and have a tea party with them.
+
+She took her favorite doll, Anna, and went to her room. She saw her dolls sitting on the bed, waiting for her. She said hello to them and invited them to come to the tea party. She set up a small table and chairs, and poured some water in the cups.
+
+She gave a cup to Anna and said, "You are my best friend, Anna. You are very wise and kind. You always listen to me and help me. I love you very much." She gave her a hug and a kiss.
+
+Anna smiled and said, "I love you too, Lila. You are very sweet and smart. You always share with me and teach me. You are a wonderful princess." She hugged her back and kissed her.
+
+Lila and Anna were very happy. They drank their water and ate some cookies. They talked and laughed and played. They had a lot of fun with their dress-up tea party.
+Lily and Ben were at the toy store with their mom. They saw a lot of toys that they liked, but they could only buy one each. Lily wanted a doll with a pink dress and long hair. Ben wanted a pirate ship with a flag and a cannon.
+
+"Look, mom, this pirate ship is impressive!" Ben said, holding the box. "It has a lot of details and it can shoot water!"
+
+"It is impressive, Ben, but it is also very expensive," mom said. "You have to choose something cheaper, or share with Lily."
+
+Ben did not want to choose something cheaper, or share with Lily. He wanted the pirate ship all for himself. He put the box in the cart and ran away.
+
+"Ben, come back here!" mom shouted. "That is not fair to Lily!"
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She did not like pirates, and she did not want to share with Ben. She wanted the doll with the pink dress and long hair. She saw the doll on a shelf and grabbed it.
+
+"I want this doll, mom!" Lily said, holding the doll. "It has a pretty dress and soft hair!"
+
+"It is pretty, Lily, but it is also very expensive," mom said. "You have to choose something cheaper, or share with Ben."
+
+Lily did not want to choose something cheaper, or share with Ben. She wanted the doll all for herself. She put the doll in the cart and ran away.
+
+"Lily, come back here!" mom shouted. "That is not fair to Ben!"
+
+Mom was tired and frustrated. She did not know how to make Lily and Ben happy, and she did not have enough money to buy both the expensive toys. She followed them to the checkout and tried to explain.
+
+"Lily, Ben, listen to me," mom said. "You can't buy these toys. They are too much money. You have to put them back and choose something else. Or you can share one toy and play together."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to put their toys back. They did not want to choose something else. They did not want to share. They wanted to keep their toys. They started to cry and scream.
+
+"Mine! Mine! Mine!" they shouted.
+
+Mom sighed. She wished she had a pirate ship or a doll to make them stop. She wished they would be nice to each other and to her. She wished they would understand. She wished they would grow up.
+One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide that looked like a rocket. Lily wanted to go on the slide, but Ben was scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it's fun!" Lily said. "You can pretend you are going to space!"
+
+"No, thank you," Ben said. "It's too high and too fast. I like the swings better."
+
+Lily shrugged and ran to the slide. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. She looked around and saw many trees and birds and people. She felt like she was very high up.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" she shouted and slid down the slide. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smiled and laughed.
+
+But when she reached the bottom, she heard a loud rip. She looked down and saw that her dress had torn on a nail on the slide. She saw a big hole in her dress and her underwear. She felt very hot and red. She felt embarrass.
+
+She heard some kids laughing and pointing at her. She heard Ben say, "Oh no, Lily, your dress!"
+
+She wanted to cry and hide. She ran to her mom and hugged her.
+
+"Mom, mom, help me!" she said. "My dress is broken and everyone can see my underwear!"
+
+Her mom looked at her and said, "Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. That's a very bad nail. Don't worry, we can fix your dress later. And it's okay to show your underwear sometimes. Everyone has them. It's not a big deal."
+
+She took off her jacket and wrapped it around Lily. She kissed her and said, "You are brave and beautiful, Lily. You don't have to be embarrass. You went on an enormous slide and had fun. That's what matters."
+
+Lily felt a little better. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+She looked at Ben and said, "Do you want to try the slide, Ben? It's not so scary."
+
+Ben shook his head and said, "No, thank you, Lily. I'm happy on the swings. But you are very cool, Lily. You are a space explorer."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged and played together. They had a good day at the park.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. They like to slide, swing, and run. They are happy.
+
+One day, they hear news from their mom. She says they have to move to a new house. The new house is far away from the park. It is in a big city with many cars and noises. Sara and Ben are sad. They do not want to leave their park and their friends.
+
+They pack their toys and clothes in boxes. They say goodbye to their park and their friends. They get in the car with their mom and dad and Spot. They drive for a long time. They see many buildings and lights. They do not see any trees or flowers.
+
+They arrive at the new house. It is small and gloomy. It has no yard or garden. It is next to a busy street. Sara and Ben do not like it. They miss their old house and their park. They feel lonely.
+
+But then, they hear a knock on the door. They open it and see a girl and a boy. They are their new neighbors. They smile and say hello. They say they have a park nearby with slides and swings. They ask Sara and Ben if they want to play with them. Sara and Ben are surprised. They look at each other and nod. They grab their coats and follow their new friends. They hope they will have fun. They feel a little better.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play knights and dragons in the park. Tim had a wooden sword and Sam had a cardboard shield. They pretended to fight the scary dragon that lived in the big slide.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a shiny helmet and a metal shield. He looked very strong and brave. He said his name was Max and he wanted to play with them. Tim and Sam were happy to have a new friend.
+
+But Max was not very nice. He said that his shield was better than Sam's shield. He said that Sam's shield was weak and silly. He said that he could break Sam's shield with his sword. Sam felt sad and angry. He said that his shield was good and he liked it. He said that Max was mean and rude.
+
+Max laughed and said that he was just joking. He said that he wanted to show them something cool. He said that he could slide down the big slide with his shield. He said that it was fun and easy. He asked Tim and Sam if they wanted to try.
+
+Tim and Sam were curious and excited. They wanted to see Max slide down the big slide with his shield. They followed him to the top of the slide. Max put his shield under his feet and sat on it. He said that he was ready to go. He pushed himself down the slide.
+
+But Max did not have fun. He did not slide smoothly. He slid too fast and too hard. He could not control his shield. He bounced and bumped on the slide. He screamed and cried. He tried to stop but he could not. He slipped off the slide and fell on the ground. He hurt his head and his arm. He dropped his shield and his helmet. He was scared and sorry.
+
+Tim and Sam ran to help Max. They asked him if he was okay. They said that they were sorry that he got hurt. They said that they were his friends and they cared about him. They said that they would get help from a grown-up.
+
+Max looked at Tim and Sam. He felt ashamed and grateful. He said that he was sorry that he was mean and rude. He said that he was wrong about Sam's shield. He said that Sam's shield was good and he liked it. He said that Tim and Sam were nice and kind. He said that he wanted to be their friend and play with them.
+
+Tim and Sam smiled and hugged Max. They said that they forgave him and they were happy to be his friend. They said that they would play knights and dragons with him. They said that they would share their sword and shield with him. They said that they would have fun and be careful.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't judge others by their things. Be respectful and friendly. Learn from your mistakes. Share and care.

+
+One night, Lily was singing in her bed. She was singing her favorite song. She was happy and proud. She thought she sounded like a famous singer.
+
+But Max was angry. He could not sleep. He could not play. He could not watch. He only heard Lily's singing. He wanted to stop her. He wanted to disturb her.
+
+He got out of his bed and went to Lily's room. He opened the door and shouted, "Stop singing! You are not a famous singer! You are a bad singer! You are a noisy sister!"
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She stopped singing. She cried. She did not feel happy and proud. She felt bad and small. She did not want to disturb Max. She only wanted to sing.
+
+Max felt sorry. He saw Lily's tears. He heard Lily's cry. He remembered Lily's dream. He did not want to hurt Lily. He only wanted to sleep.
+
+He went to Lily's bed and hugged her. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean. You can sing. You are a good singer. You are a nice sister."

+
+Soon, a man came with a big net and a bag. He said he was from the animal rescue and he would take the baby seal to a safe place. He thanked Tom for being honest and telling him about the seal. He said Tom was a good teacher for Sara, and he gave them both a sticker.

+
+Sam said, "No, Ben, that wire is dangerous. Mom and Dad said we should not touch it. It can hurt us or start a fire. Let's play with something else."
+
+But Ben did not listen to Sam. He was curious and wanted to have fun. He said, "Don't be scared, Sam. I know what I'm doing. I'll be careful. You can watch me." He took the wire and plugged it into a socket on the wall. Then he held the other end of the wire and moved it around.
+
+Sam was worried and said, "Ben, stop it. You're being silly. The wire is hot and can shock you. Please, put it down and come with me."
+
+But Ben did not stop. He said, "No, Sam, you're being boring. The wire is cool and can do amazing things. Look, I can make it lie on the floor or stand up in the air. I can make it bend or twist or loop. It's like a magic snake."
+
+Sam was scared and said, "Ben, please, listen to me. The wire is not a toy. It's a tool. It can break or cut or burn. It's like a dangerous snake."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He said, "No, Sam, you're being mean. The wire is my toy. It's my friend. It can play with me and make me happy. It's like a generous snake."

+
+One day, mom had to go out for a while and asked Lily and Max to stay in their room. She said she had a very important project to finish on her computer and they should not touch it. Lily and Max nodded and said they would be good.
+
+But after a few minutes, they got bored of their toys and wondered what mom was doing. They decided to sneak out of their room and peek at her computer. They tiptoed down the hall and saw the computer on the table. It had many colors and shapes on the screen.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Max whispered. "It looks like a game. Can we play?"
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Mom said not to touch it. Maybe we can just watch."
+
+They moved closer to the computer and saw a mouse and a keyboard. Max reached out his hand and touched the mouse. The screen changed and showed a big red X.
+
+"Oops!" Max said. "What did I do?"
+
+Lily gasped. "You broke it! Mom will be so mad!"
+
+They heard the door open and mom's footsteps. They ran back to their room and hid under the bed.
+
+Mom came in and saw her computer. She frowned and said, "Oh no, what happened? Who touched my computer?"
+
+She looked around and saw Lily and Max's toys on the floor. She guessed what they had done. She went to their room and called their names.
+
+"Lily, Max, where are you? Come out, please. I need to talk to you."

+Lily and Max crawled out from under the bed. They looked at mom with scared eyes.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry," Lily said. "We just wanted to see your computer. We didn't mean to break it."

+
+Lily and Max cheered and hugged mom. They said they loved her too. They went back to their room and did their homework. They were happy and proud to have a thoughtful mom and a cool computer.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They loved to see the flowers bloom in different colors and shapes. They also liked to help their mom water the plants and pull out the weeds.
+
+One day, their mom had to go to a meeting and she wore a suit. She told Ben and Lily to be good and not to make a mess. She also said they could play in the garden, but not to touch her suit. She hung it on a hanger in the hall.
+
+Ben and Lily went to the garden and had fun. They saw a large butterfly with blue and yellow wings. They chased it around the flowers and tried to catch it. They did not see that the butterfly flew into the hall and landed on their mom's suit.
+
+The butterfly liked the suit. It thought it was a flower. It started to nibble on the fabric and make holes. Ben and Lily followed the butterfly and saw what it was doing. They were shocked and scared.
+
+"Ben, look! The butterfly is eating mom's suit!" Lily cried.
+
+"Oh no! Mom will be mad at us! What do we do?" Ben asked.
+
+They tried to shoo the butterfly away, but it was too fast. They decided to tell their mom the truth and say sorry. They waited for her to come back.
+
+When their mom came back, she saw her suit with holes. She was angry and sad. She asked Ben and Lily what happened. They told her the whole story and apologized. They said they did not mean to ruin her suit and they were sorry.
+
+Their mom hugged them and said she was glad they were honest. She said she was not happy about her suit, but she was more happy that they were brave and told the truth. She said she loved them and they could help her fix the suit.
+
+Ben and Lily learned that it is better to tell the truth than to lie. They also learned to be careful with other people's things. They thanked their mom and gave her a kiss. They also said sorry to the butterfly and let it go. They hoped it would find a real flower to eat.

+
+Mom hears the noise. She gets angry. She stops her work. She comes to their room. She sees the mess. She sees the train. She sees the box. She says, "What are you doing, Sara and Tom?

+
+Sara and Tom feel very bad. They see Mom's face. She is not happy. She is not proud. She is sad and mad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We wanted to show you our tower. We thought you would like it. We forgot to wait. We forgot to be quiet."
+
+Mom says, "I know you wanted to show me your tower. And I do like it. It is very beautiful. But you have to listen to me when I tell you something. You have to respect my work and my things. You have to be patient and polite. You have to learn to wait and not disturb. That is how you show me you love me."
+
+Sara and Tom say, "We love you, Mom. We will learn to wait and not disturb. We will help you fix the train and the box. We will be quiet and good."

+Jill and Jack like to play in the garden. They see many things: flowers, bugs, birds, and squash. Squash are big and round and green or yellow. They grow on vines that crawl on the ground.
+
+One day, Jill and Jack see a very big squash. It is bigger than their heads. It is yellow and shiny. They want to touch it and see what it feels like. They run to the squash and reach for it.
+
+But the squash is not happy. It does not like to be touched. It is a jolly squash, but only when it is alone. It has a secret: it can roll. It rolls away from Jill and Jack, very fast. It bumps into a rock and bounces off. It rolls over a hill and disappears.
+
+Jill and Jack are surprised and sad. They wanted to play with the squash. They look for it, but they cannot find it. They wonder where it went and what it is doing.
+
+The squash is happy. It likes to roll and see new things. It sees a pond and a duck and a frog. It sees a barn and a cow and a pig. It sees a road and a car and a truck. It rolls and rolls and rolls, until it is tired. Then it finds a nice spot under a tree and rests. It is a jolly squash, but only when it is alone.
+Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big building with many windows and doors. They wanted to explore it and see what was inside.

+"I don't know, Tom," Sue said. "The building looks old and dirty. It might be dangerous."
+
+"Don't be scared, Sue," Tom said. "It will be fun. Come on, follow me."

+The firefighter nodded and followed Sue. He went inside the building and found Tom. He put him on a stretcher and carried him out. He put him in an ambulance and took him to the hospital.

+
+The lesson was: Don't go into old and dirty buildings. They are terrible and dangerous. Listen to your friends who care about you. They know what's best for you.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with their toys, run in the park, and read books. They were loyal to each other and always helped when one was sad or scared.
+
+One day, they found a big box in the attic. It was full of old clothes, hats, and masks. They decided to play dress-up and pretend to be different people. Lily put on a long dress and a crown. She said she was a queen. Max put on a coat and a hat. He said he was a detective.
+
+They had fun making up stories and acting them out. They used a flashlight to make shadows on the wall. They made funny faces and noises and laughed a lot.
+
+But then, Lily saw a mask that looked like a scary monster. It had big teeth, horns, and red eyes. She wanted to try it on, but Max was afraid. He said he didn't like the mask. He said it was too scary.
+
+Lily didn't listen. She put on the mask and said she was a monster. She growled and chased Max around the attic. Max was very scared. He ran and hid behind the box. He asked Lily to stop. He said he didn't want to play anymore.
+
+Lily didn't stop. She thought it was funny to scare Max. She found him behind the box and jumped on him. She said she was going to eat him. Max was very upset. He pushed Lily away and tried to run. But he tripped on the dress and fell. He heard a loud rip. He looked and saw that he had torn the dress.
+
+Lily was very angry. She took off the mask and yelled at Max. She said he had ruined her dress. She said he was a bad friend. She said she didn't want to play with him anymore.
+
+Max was very sorry. He said he didn't mean to tear the dress. He said he was just scared of the mask. He said he was still her friend. He said he wanted to play with her again.
+
+But Lily didn't listen. She grabbed the dress and the mask and ran out of the attic. She left Max alone with the shadows. He felt very sad and lonely. He wished Lily would come back. He wished they could be friends again.

+
+"Yes, Ben, let's go!" Lily said. They ran to the sidewalk and watched the parade.
+
+The parade was very loud and fun. Ben and Lily clapped and cheered. They saw a man with a big whistle. He was the leader of the parade. He blew the whistle and told the people what to do.
+
+"Left, right, left, right!" he shouted. "Follow me!"
+
+Ben and Lily felt an urge to follow him too. They liked his whistle and his voice. They thought he was very cool.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's follow him!" Ben said. He grabbed Lily's hand and ran to the street.
+
+"Wait, Ben, we can't!" Lily said. She was scared. "Mom and Dad said we can't go to the street. It's not safe!"
+
+But Ben did not listen. He was too excited. He pulled Lily to the street and joined the parade. He blew his own whistle that he had in his pocket.
+
+"Left, right, left, right!" he shouted. "We are in the march!"
+
+Lily was very worried. She did not like the street. She saw many cars and bikes and buses. They were honking and beeping. She thought they were angry.
+
+"Ben, please, let's go back!" she said. She tried to pull Ben back to the sidewalk.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He was having too much fun. He waved his flag and smiled.
+
+"No, Lily, this is fun!" he said. "We are part of the parade!"
+
+But then, something bad happened. A big truck came from the corner. It was very fast and loud. It did not see Ben and Lily. It was going to hit them.
+
+"Ben, Lily, watch out!" the man with the big whistle shouted. He saw the truck and ran to them. He grabbed them and pushed them to the sidewalk. He saved them.
+
+"Are you okay, kids?" he asked. He was very angry and scared. "What were you doing in the street? Don't you know it's dangerous?"
+
+Ben and Lily were very sorry. They realized they made a big mistake. They were not supposed to be in the street. They were not part of the parade. They were in trouble.
+
+"We are sorry, sir," Ben said. He was crying. "We wanted to join the march. We liked your whistle and your voice."
+
+"We are sorry, sir," Lily said. She was crying too. "We wanted to follow Ben. He had an urge to be in the march."
+
+The man with the big whistle sighed. He was glad they were not hurt. He gave them a hug.
+
+"I understand, kids," he said. "But you have to be careful. The street is not a place to play. You have to listen to your mom and dad. They know what's best for you."
+
+"Yes, sir," Ben and Lily said. They nodded. They learned their lesson.
+
+The man with the big whistle took them back to their mom and dad. They were waiting for them on the sidewalk. They were very worried and relieved.
+
+"Mom, Dad, we are sorry," Ben and Lily said. They hugged them. "We won't go to the street again. We promise."
+
+Mom and Dad were very happy. They forgave them. They thanked the man with the big whistle. He was very nice.
+
+"Thank you, sir," Mom and Dad said. "You saved our kids. You are a hero."
+
+The man with the big whistle smiled. He waved goodbye.
+
+"You are welcome," he said. "But remember, kids, the street is not a place to march. The sidewalk is a place to watch."
+
+Ben and Lily agreed. They watched the parade from the sidewalk. They still liked the bright clothes and hats. They still liked the drums and horns and flags. But they did not want to join the parade anymore. They were happy to be safe and sound.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they got a new toy from their mom. It was a big train that could make noises and move on the tracks. Lily and Tom were very happy and thanked their mom.
+
+They took the train to the living room, where there was a warm fireplace. They set up the tracks on the floor and started to play. Lily wanted to be the driver of the train, and Tom wanted to be the passenger. They took turns to hold the controller and make the train go.
+
+But soon, Lily got jealous of Tom. She thought he had more fun with the train than her. She wanted to hold the controller all the time and make the train go faster and faster. She did not want to share with Tom.
+
+"Give me the controller, Tom!" Lily said. "It's my turn to drive the train!"
+
+"No, Lily, it's not your turn yet!" Tom said. "You had it for a long time already! Let me have it!"
+
+They started to pull the controller from each other. They did not pay attention to the train or the tracks. They did not see that the train was going too fast and was about to crash into the fireplace.
+
+"Look out, Lily and Tom!" their mom shouted. "The train is going to hit the fireplace!"
+
+But it was too late. The train hit the fireplace with a loud bang. The train broke into pieces and the tracks flew everywhere. Lily and Tom let go of the controller and looked at the mess. They felt very sad and sorry.
+
+They ran to their mom and hugged her. They said they were sorry for fighting and breaking the train. They said they would share and play nicely next time.
+
+Their mom hugged them back and said she loved them. She said she was glad they were not hurt by the fireplace. She said they could fix the train together and play with it again.
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to be good twins and not be jealous of each other. They went to the kitchen to have some cookies and milk. They were happy again.
+Lily was sleeping in her bed. She had a new blanket that was soft and warm. She liked the texture of the blanket. It felt nice on her skin.
+
+She heard a noise outside her window. It was a bird. The bird was singing a song. The song was loud and happy. Lily opened her eyes and saw the sun. The sun was bright and yellow. Lily smiled and said, "Good morning, bird. Good morning, sun."
+
+She got out of her bed and put on her new dress. It was pink and purple. It had flowers and butterflies. She liked her new dress. It was pretty and fun.
+
+She went to the kitchen and saw her mom. Her mom was making breakfast. She smelled eggs and toast. She was hungry and happy. She hugged her mom and said, "Good morning, mom. I like my new blanket and my new dress. They are soft and pretty."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Good morning, Lily. I'm glad you like your new things. You are a good girl. Here is your breakfast. Eat well and have a good day."
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play and learn together. One day, they go on a trip with their teacher, Miss Lee. They take a big bus to the park. They are very happy.
+
+At the park, they see many animals. They see birds, squirrels, rabbits, and ducks. Miss Lee teaches them the names and sounds of the animals. Sara and Tom repeat after her. They have fun.
+
+Then, they see a big, hairy dog. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces. Sara and Tom giggle. They want to pet the dog. But they do not know how.
+
+"Can we pet the dog, Miss Lee?" Sara asks.
+
+"Yes, you can. But you have to be gentle and ask the owner first," Miss Lee says.
+
+She shows them how to hold out their hands and let the dog sniff them. Then, she strokes the dog's fur softly. The dog likes it. He barks happily.
+
+Sara and Tom try to do the same. They are careful and kind. The dog enjoys their attention. He gives them more licks.
+
+"Good job, Sara and Tom. You are very good at petting the dog. You are learning how to be nice to animals," Miss Lee praises them.
+
+Sara and Tom smile. They are proud. They thank the owner and the dog. They say goodbye to the animals. They get back on the bus. They had a great trip. They learned a lot. They are still friends.
+Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice-cream on it. They ran to the truck and asked Mom for some ice-cream.
+
+"Can we have ice-cream, Mom? Please, please, please!" they said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "OK, but only one each. What flavor do you want?"
+
+Lily wanted chocolate and Sam wanted strawberry. They gave some money to the man in the truck and he gave them two cones with ice-cream on top. They thanked the man and licked their ice-cream.
+
+They walked to a bench and sat down. They saw a big dog with a ball in its mouth. The dog was playing with a boy. The boy threw the ball and the dog ran after it. The dog was very fast and loud.
+
+Lily and Sam stared at the dog. They liked the dog. They wanted to play with the dog too. But they were quiet. They did not want to scare the dog or the boy.
+
+"Can we play with the dog, Mom?" they asked.
+
+Mom looked at the boy and the dog. She said, "Maybe, but we have to ask the boy first. And we have to be gentle with the dog. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They finished their ice-cream and threw the cones in the trash. They walked to the boy and the dog. They said hello and asked if they could play.
+
+The boy smiled and said, "Sure, his name is Spot. He likes to fetch and cuddle. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily and Sam were happy. They took turns throwing the ball and petting Spot. They had fun with the boy and the dog. They made new friends. Mom was proud of them. She said they were very polite and kind.
+Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the sandpit with their toys. Anna had a spade and Ben had a bucket. They made a big castle with towers and bridges.
+
+"Look at our castle!" Anna said. "It is so pretty and strong."
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben agreed. "We are the king and queen of the castle."
+
+They put a flower on top of the castle and pretended it was a crown. They smiled at each other and held hands.
+
+"Anna, do you want to marry me?" Ben asked.
+
+"Marry you?" Anna repeated. "What does that mean?"
+
+"It means we are always together and we love each other and we share our toys and our snacks," Ben explained.
+
+"That sounds nice," Anna said. "I love you, Ben. And I love your snacks. They are yummy."
+
+"I love you, Anna. And I love your spade. It is useful," Ben said.
+
+They hugged and kissed and said, "We are married!"
+
+Then they ate their snacks and played with their spade and bucket. They were very happy. The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hole in the ground. Lily wanted to look inside, but Ben was scared.
+
+"Maybe there is a trap in there," Ben said. "Something bad might come out and poke us."
+
+Lily did not listen. She ran to the hole and bent down. She saw something shiny and round. She reached out her hand to grab it.
+
+"Stop, Lily!" Ben shouted. "It could be a trap!"
+
+But it was too late. Lily touched the shiny thing and it made a loud noise. The hole closed up and Lily was stuck inside. She cried and cried.
+
+"Help, Ben! Help me! I'm in a trap!"
+
+Ben was very sorry. He ran to the hole and tried to open it. But it was too hard. He could not open it. He cried too.
+
+"Help, help! Someone help us!"
+
+A man heard their cries and came to the park. He saw the hole and the shiny thing. He knew what it was. It was a can of soda. Someone had thrown it in the hole and it had made a trap.
+
+The man used a stick to poke the can and make the hole open again. He helped Lily out of the trap. She was dirty and scared, but she was not hurt.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Lily and Ben said to the man.
+
+The man smiled and gave them a hug. He told them to be careful and not to touch things they did not know. He threw the can in the trash and left.
+
+Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They never played near holes again. They played with their toys and their friends. They were happy and safe.
+Lily liked to draw with her pen. She drew flowers and stars and hearts on her paper. She was very happy with her pen.
+
+But Tom wanted her pen. He did not have a pen. He only had a crayon. He did not like his crayon. He wanted Lily's pen.
+
+He went to Lily and said, "Give me your pen. I want your pen. It is not fair that you have a pen and I have a crayon."
+
+Lily said, "No, this is my pen. I like my pen. You have your crayon. You can draw with your crayon. It is fair."
+
+Tom did not listen. He grabbed Lily's pen from her hand. He said, "This is my pen now. You can have my crayon. It is fair."
+
+Lily was very sad. She cried. She wanted her pen back. She did not want Tom's crayon. She said, "Give me my pen back. You are mean. You are not fair."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran away with Lily's pen. He laughed. He said, "This is my pen now. I am happy. I am fair."
+
+Lily was very angry. She got up and chased Tom. She wanted to get her pen back. She said, "Give me my pen back. You are bad. You are not fair."
+
+But Tom was faster. He ran to the door. He opened the door. He went outside with Lily's pen.
+
+But he did not see the car. The car was coming fast. The car did not see Tom. The car hit Tom.
+
+Tom was hurt. He dropped Lily's pen. He screamed. He said, "Help me. I am hurt. I am not fair."
+
+Lily saw what happened. She was shocked. She did not want Tom to be hurt. She felt sorry for Tom. She said, "Oh no. Tom is hurt. He is not fair."
+
+She ran to Tom. She picked up her pen. She said, "This is my pen. I am sorry. You are not fair."
+
+The end.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the forest. They had a big pine tree that they called their house. They would climb on the branches and pretend to be birds or squirrels.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy walking in the forest. He had a red hat and a blue coat. He looked at their pine tree and said, "Can I play with you?"
+
+Sara and Ben did not like the new boy. They thought he was rude and bossy. They decided to ignore him and keep playing in their pine tree.
+
+The new boy did not like to be ignored. He said, "Hey, you are not very nice. I am more intelligent than you. I know all the names of the animals and the plants. You are just silly and dumb."
+
+Sara and Ben did not care what the new boy said. They knew he was lying and trying to make them feel bad. They said, "We are not silly and dumb. We are happy and smart. We do not want to play with you. Go away and leave us alone."
+
+The new boy was angry and sad. He did not have any friends in the forest. He wished he could be nice and friendly like Sara and Ben. He walked away and looked for another pine tree to play in.
+Ben and Mia like to play with copper wires. They find them in the garage, where dad keeps his tools. They twist the wires into shapes, like stars and hearts and letters. They make necklaces and bracelets and rings.
+
+One day, they see a big copper coil on the shelf. It is shiny and round and has many loops. Ben wants to twist it and make something new. He climbs on a chair and reaches for the coil. Mia says, "No, Ben, don't touch that! It is different from the other wires. It can hurt you!"
+
+But Ben does not listen. He grabs the coil and pulls it down. He feels a shock in his hand. He drops the coil and falls off the chair. He cries out loud. Mia runs to him and hugs him. She says, "Are you okay, Ben? I told you not to touch that!"
+
+Dad hears the noise and comes to the garage. He sees the coil on the floor and Ben and Mia on the ground. He says, "What happened here? Did you touch the copper coil? That is very dangerous! It has electricity inside. It can burn you or make you sick. You should never play with that!"
+
+Ben and Mia are sorry and scared. They say, "We are sorry, dad. We did not know. We just wanted to twist the wires and make something new. We will not do it again."
+
+Dad picks up the coil and puts it back on the shelf. He says, "I know you like to twist the wires and make something new. But you have to be careful and ask me first. Some wires are different from others. Some wires are safe and some wires are not. I will show you which ones you can use and which ones you can't. Come on, let's go inside and have some juice. And then we can twist some wires together and make something new."
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy kitchen. They had pots and pans, spoons and forks, and some plastic food. They pretended to cook and eat different dishes.
+
+"Let's make soup!" Lily said. She took a pot and filled it with water. She added some carrots, potatoes, and salt. She stirred the pot with a spoon.
+
+"Can I help?" Ben asked. He wanted to pour some water too. He took a cup and filled it with water from the faucet.
+
+"Be careful, Ben. Don't spill the water," Lily warned. She put the pot on the stove and turned it on.
+
+Ben did not listen. He walked over to the pot and tried to pour some water into it. But he poured too much and too fast. The water splashed out of the pot and onto the stove. The stove made a loud hissing sound and some smoke came out.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cried. He dropped the cup and ran away. The water was hot and it burned his hand.
+
+Lily turned off the stove and ran after Ben. She saw that his hand was red and swollen. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" she asked.
+
+"No, I'm not okay. My hand hurts. It's uncomfortable," Ben sobbed.
+
+Lily hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. You should have listened to me. Pouring water is not a game. It's a test. You have to be careful and slow. If you pour too fast or too much, you can get hurt or make a mess."
+
+Ben nodded. He learned his lesson. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. I was wrong. I won't pour water again. Can you help me make my hand feel better?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Of course, Ben. Let's go to Mommy. She can put some ice and a bandage on your hand. Then we can play something else. Maybe we can read a book or draw a picture."
+
+Ben smiled too and said, "Okay, Lily. Thank you. You are a good sister. I love you."
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, Ben. Come on, let's go."
+
+They held hands and walked to Mommy. They were happy again. They learned that pouring water is not a game, but a test. And they learned to listen and be careful.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with toys. But they do not have many toys. They have some old toys that their mom gave them. They have a doll, a car, a ball and a book.
+
+One day, they see a new toy store near their house. They see many new toys in the window. They see a big teddy bear, a shiny train, a colorful puzzle and a funny clown. They want to go inside and look at the toys.
+
+They urge their mom to take them to the toy store. They say, "Please, mom, please. We want to see the new toys. They are so pretty and fun. Can we go, mom, can we?"
+
+But their mom says, "No, my dears, no. We cannot go to the toy store. We do not have enough money to buy new toys. The new toys are very expensive. We have to save our money for food and clothes and rent. You have to be happy with your old toys. They are not cheap. They are special. They are from your grandma and grandpa. They love you very much. You have to love your old toys, too."
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They do not understand why they cannot have new toys. They think their old toys are boring and ugly. They do not want to play with them. They cry and pout and whine.
+
+Their mom feels sorry for them. She hugs them and kisses them. She says, "I know you want new toys, my dears, but you have to wait. Maybe for your birthday or for Christmas, you will get a new toy. But for now, you have to be grateful for what you have. Your old toys are not boring and ugly. They are full of stories and memories and love. They can make you happy, if you use your imagination. Why don't you try to play with them in a different way? Maybe you can make a tea party with your doll, or a race with your car, or a game with your ball, or a story with your book. Maybe you will find out that your old toys are not so old after all."
+
+Lily and Tom listen to their mom. They wipe their tears and smile. They say, "OK, mom, OK. We will try to play with our old toys. We will use our imagination. We will have fun. We love you, mom. We love our grandma and grandpa. We love our old toys, too."
+
+They go to their room and take out their old toys. They start to play with them in a different way. They make a tea party with their doll, a race with their car, a game with their ball, and a story with their book. They laugh and giggle and have fun. They forget about the new toys in the window. They are happy with their old toys. They are happy with each other. They are happy with their mom. They are happy with their life.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. Sara has a dog. His name is Spot. Spot is fat. He likes to eat a lot.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben want to help Spot. They want him to be healthy and happy. They think of a good idea. They can lead Spot for a walk. They can do exercise with him.
+
+They put a leash on Spot. They say, "Come on, Spot. Let's go for a walk. It will be fun." They walk to the park. They see other dogs and people. They say hello to them.
+
+At the park, they play with Spot. They throw a ball for him. They run with him. They make him jump and fetch. Spot likes the exercise. He wags his tail. He barks happily.
+
+After a while, they are tired. They sit on a bench. They give Spot some water. They pet him. They say, "Good boy, Spot. You did a great job. You are a good dog." Spot licks their faces. He is happy. He feels better. Sara and Ben are happy too. They smile at each other. They are good friends.
+Tom was a bald cat. He had no fur on his head or his body. He was not like other cats who had soft and fluffy fur. Tom felt cold and sad. He wanted to have fur like them.
+
+One day, Tom saw a big hat on the street. It was red and woolly and had a pom-pom on top. Tom thought it looked warm and fun. He ran to the hat and put it on his head. He felt cozy and happy. He looked like a cat with fur.
+
+Tom walked around the street with his new hat. He saw other cats who stared at him. Some cats laughed and some cats were curious. Tom did not care. He liked his hat and he felt good.
+
+But then, a big dog came. He saw Tom and his hat. He thought Tom was a toy. He barked and ran to Tom. He wanted to play with him and his hat. Tom was scared. He did not want to play with the dog. He wanted to run away.
+
+Tom tried to run, but the dog was faster. He caught Tom and his hat. He pulled and tugged and shook them. Tom felt his hat slip off his head. He saw his bald skin again. He felt cold and sad. He wanted his hat back.
+
+The dog saw Tom's bald head. He was surprised. He thought Tom was a toy, but he was a cat. A bald cat. He did not want to play with a bald cat. He dropped Tom and his hat. He ran away.
+
+Tom was happy. He was free from the dog. He grabbed his hat and put it back on his head. He felt cozy and happy again. He looked like a cat with fur.
+
+Tom walked away from the street. He found a warm and safe place to stay. He did not care what other cats thought. He liked his hat and he felt good. He was a bald cat, but he seemed like a furry cat. He was a happy cat.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They have many toys, but their favorite is the sink. The sink has a faucet, a bowl, and a drain. They pretend to wash dishes, fill cups, and make bubbles.
+
+One day, they play too hard. They turn the faucet all the way. Water comes out fast and strong. It splashes everywhere. The bowl cracks. The drain pops out. The sink is broken.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna says. "Mom will be mad!"
+
+"Let's fix it!" Ben says. He gets some tape and glue. He tries to stick the bowl and the drain back together. But it does not work. The water still leaks. The tape and glue make a mess.
+
+"Ben, you made it worse!" Anna says. She gets a towel and a mop. She tries to dry the floor and the counter. But it does not work. The water still drieks. The towel and the mop are wet.
+
+"Anna, you made it worse!" Ben says.
+
+They hear the door open. Mom is home. They look at each other. They are scared.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry!" they say together. "We broke the sink!"
+Sam and Lily were twins who liked to watch TV after school. They had a big TV in the living room that showed many shows and cartoons. They always agreed on what to watch, except on Fridays. On Fridays, Sam wanted to watch a show about cars and Lily wanted to watch a show about fairies.
+
+One Friday, they came home from school and ran to the TV. They grabbed the remote and started to push the buttons. "I want to watch cars!" Sam said. "No, I want to watch fairies!" Lily said. They pulled and pushed the remote, but no one got what they wanted. The TV showed only noise and colors.
+
+They stopped and looked at the TV. They felt troubled. They did not like the noise and colors. They wanted to watch their shows. They looked at each other and sighed. They decided to discuss what to do.
+
+"Sam, why do you like cars so much?" Lily asked. "Cars are fast and loud and cool. They can go anywhere and do anything. They make me happy," Sam said. "Lily, why do you like fairies so much?" Sam asked. "Fairies are pretty and magical and kind. They can fly and make wishes. They make me happy," Lily said.
+
+They listened to each other and nodded. They understood why they liked their shows. They also understood that they liked each other more than the TV. They smiled and hugged. They said, "Let's watch something else. Something we both like. Something that makes us happy together." They turned the TV off and on again. They found a show about animals. They sat on the couch and watched the show. They laughed and learned and had fun. They were not troubled anymore. They were happy.
+Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a tall hill near their house. They wanted to climb it.
+
+"Let's go up the hill," Sara said. "Maybe we can see the sunset."
+
+"OK," Tom said. "You lead the way."
+
+They walked and walked. The hill was steep and hard. They got tired and thirsty. But they did not give up. They wanted to see the sunset.
+
+They reached the top of the hill. They looked at the sky. It was very beautiful. It had many colors. Red, orange, yellow, pink, purple. They looked like fire and flowers.
+
+"Wow," Sara said. "The sunset is so pretty."
+
+"Yes," Tom said. "It is. I'm glad we came here."
+
+They smiled at each other. They sat on the grass. They watched the sunset until it was dark. Then they went back home. They were happy. They had a good adventure.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with fire. They had a box of matches that they hid under their bed. One day, when their mom was out, they decided to light some matches and watch the sparks. They thought it was fun and unique.
+
+"Look, Tom, this one makes a big spark!" Sam said, holding a match close to his face.
+
+"Don't be silly, Sam, you'll burn yourself!" Tom said, snatching the match from him. "Let's light some paper instead. It will make more sparks."
+
+They took some paper from their dad's desk and put it on the floor. They lit a match and threw it on the paper. The paper caught fire and made a lot of sparks. The brothers laughed and clapped their hands.
+
+But soon, the fire grew bigger and bigger. It spread to the curtains and the carpet. Smoke filled the room. The brothers started to panic.
+
+"Help! Help! Fire!" they screamed.
+
+Their mom heard their screams and ran to their room. She saw the fire and grabbed a bucket of water. She threw the water on the fire and put it out. She was very angry and scared.
+
+"What have you done? How could you be so careless and stupid?" she yelled at them. "You could have burned the house down! You could have hurt yourselves or others! Do you know how dangerous fire is?"
+
+The brothers felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they had made a big mistake. They hugged their mom and apologized.
+
+"We're sorry, mom. We won't play with fire again. We didn't know it was so bad," they said.
+
+Their mom hugged them back and forgave them. She explained to them that fire is not a toy and that they should never play with matches or lighters. She told them that fire can be useful and beautiful, but also harmful and destructive. She taught them how to be safe and respectful around fire.
+
+The brothers learned their lesson. They never played with fire again. They understood that fire is not unique, but common and powerful. They also understood that their mom loved them and wanted them to be safe and happy.
+Anna liked to read stories with her mom. She had many books with pictures and words. Her favorite book was about a princess and a dragon. She liked the princess because she was brave and kind. She liked the dragon because he was funny and friendly.
+
+One day, Anna and her mom were reading the book. They came to the part where the princess and the dragon met. The princess was scared of the dragon at first, but then they talked and became friends. Anna smiled and said, "I like this part. The princess and the dragon are nice to each other."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Me too, Anna. They learn to see beyond their differences and find something in common. That's a good lesson for everyone."
+
+But then, something strange happened. The book started to reverse. The words and the pictures went backwards. The princess and the dragon said goodbye and walked away. The dragon went back to his cave and the princess went back to her castle. They looked sad and lonely.
+
+Anna and mom were confused and shocked. They did not like this part. They wanted the princess and the dragon to be friends again. Anna said, "Mom, what happened? Why did the book reverse? Why are they sad?"
+
+Mom did not know. She looked at the book and saw that it had a button on the cover. It said, "Press to reverse the story." She realized that she had accidentally pressed it when she turned the page. She said, "Oh, Anna, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I pressed this button and it reversed the story. Let's press it again and see what happens."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom, let's do that. Maybe they can be happy again."
+
+Mom pressed the button and the book reversed again. The words and the pictures went forward. The princess and the dragon met again and became friends. They smiled and hugged. Anna and mom smiled too. They liked this part. They liked the story. They liked each other. They hugged and said, "We love you."
+Lily liked to pick flowers in the garden. She liked the red ones and the yellow ones and the pink ones. She made a big bunch of flowers and gave them to her mom. Mom smiled and said thank you.
+
+But one day, Lily saw a monster in the garden. It was big and green and had sharp teeth. It was hiding behind a bush and it growled at Lily. Lily was scared and ran to her mom. Mom, there is a monster in the garden! She cried.
+
+Mom looked out the window and saw the monster. It was not a real monster, it was a big toy that dad had bought for Lily. He wanted to surprise her and make her laugh. He had put it in the garden and waited for Lily to find it. But Lily did not laugh, she was afraid.
+
+Mom told Lily that it was not a real monster, it was a toy. She said that dad was sorry and he wanted to play with her. She asked Lily if she wanted to go to the garden and see the toy. Lily said no, she did not like the monster.
+
+Mom said that was okay, she did not have to play with the monster. She said that there were many other toys available for Lily. She said that Lily could pick any toy she wanted and play with it. Lily said yes, she wanted to play with her dolls. She said that her dolls were nice and not scary.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said that she loved her. She said that she was sorry that the monster scared her. She said that she would take the monster away and put it in the garage. She said that maybe one day, Lily would like the monster and play with it. But for now, Lily could play with her dolls and her flowers and be happy.
+Sara and Ben love to sing and dance. They go to a big place with many seats and a stage. They see a lady with a microphone. She says, "Welcome to the talent show! Are you ready to have fun?"
+
+Sara and Ben clap their hands and nod their heads. They are very excited. They wait for their turn to go on the stage. They see other kids do funny things, like tell jokes, play instruments, or do magic tricks.
+
+When it is their turn, Sara and Ben walk on the stage. They smile and wave to the people. They sing a song they learned at school. They sing loud and clear. They also dance and jump. They have a lot of fun. The people clap and cheer for them. Sara and Ben feel happy and proud.
+
+After they finish, they go back to their seats. They are very tired. They drink some water and eat some cookies. The cookies are tasty and sweet. They rest their heads on their mom's lap. They watch the rest of the show. They see a dog do tricks, a girl play the piano, and a boy juggle balls.
+
+At the end of the show, the lady with the microphone says, "Thank you for coming to the talent show! You are all amazing and talented. Give yourselves a big round of applause!" Sara and Ben clap their hands and join the other kids on the stage. They bow and say, "Thank you!" They had a great day.
+Lily and Ben were having lunch with their mom. They had shrimp and rice and salad. Lily liked shrimp a lot. She ate them fast and asked for more. Ben did not like shrimp at all. He pushed them away and made a face.
+
+"Ben, why don't you try one shrimp? They are yummy and good for you," mom said.
+
+"No, thank you. I don't want shrimp. They are small and pink and weird," Ben said. He frowned and looked at his rice.
+
+Lily saw Ben frown. She felt sorry for him. She wanted him to be happy. She had an idea. She took one shrimp from her plate and put it on Ben's. She smiled and said, "Look, Ben, this shrimp is your friend. He wants to play with you. He can make funny noises. Listen." She made a squeaky sound with her mouth and moved the shrimp like a puppet.
+
+Ben looked at Lily and the shrimp. He was surprised. He thought Lily was silly. But he also thought the shrimp was funny. He smiled and said, "Really? He can make noises? What else can he do?"
+
+Lily was glad Ben smiled. She said, "He can do many things. He can dance and sing and jump. He can also tell you a secret. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+Ben nodded. He was curious. He leaned closer to the shrimp. Lily whispered in his ear, "He says he wants to be your friend. And he says he is delicious. Do you want to try him?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He looked at the shrimp. He looked at Lily. He saw she was happy. He wanted to be happy too. He decided to try the shrimp. He took a small bite and chewed. He was surprised again. The shrimp was not bad. It was tasty and juicy. He liked it. He took another bite and said, "You know what, Lily? You are right. This shrimp is my friend. And he is yummy. Thank you for sharing him with me."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged. They finished their lunch. They were both comfortable and full. Mom was proud of them. She said, "I'm so happy you both enjoyed your shrimp. You are such good and brave kids. I love you very much."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "We love you too, mom." They smiled and kissed her. They were a happy family.
+Lily liked to walk her dog Spot every day. Spot was a big dog with black and white fur. He was very friendly and loved to play. Lily had a leash for Spot, so he would not run away or get lost. The leash was red and had a bell on it.
+
+One day, Lily and Spot went to the park. There were many other dogs and people there. Spot wanted to say hello to everyone, but Lily told him to stay close. "Spot, you have to yield to the other dogs. That means you have to be nice and let them go first. You can't pull on the leash or bark too loud. Do you understand?" Lily said.
+
+Spot nodded and wagged his tail. He tried to yield to the other dogs, but he was very curious and excited. He saw a big pond with ducks and fish. He wanted to go there and splash in the water. He pulled on the leash and made the bell ring.
+
+Lily tried to hold on to the leash, but it was too hard. Spot was stronger than her. The leash slipped from her hand and Spot ran to the pond. Lily shouted, "Spot, come back! You can't go there!"
+
+But it was too late. Spot jumped into the pond and made a big splash. The ducks and fish were scared and swam away. Spot was happy and licked the water. He did not see the sign that said, "No swimming. Pond is smelly and dirty."
+
+Lily ran after Spot and reached the pond. She saw him in the water and smelled the bad smell. She wrinkled her nose and said, "Spot, you are so smelly! You have to get out of the pond right now! You are in trouble!"
+
+Spot heard Lily and felt sorry. He got out of the pond and shook his fur. He made more water and dirt fly everywhere. He walked to Lily and wagged his tail. He wanted to say sorry and give her a kiss.
+
+Lily looked at Spot and saw his wet and smelly fur. She was angry and sad. She said, "Spot, you did not yield to the other dogs. You did not listen to me. You made a mess and got yourself dirty. You are a bad dog!"
+
+Spot looked at Lily and saw her mad and sad face. He was sad too. He said, "Woof, woof. I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. You are a good girl."
+
+Lily heard Spot and felt his love. She was still angry and sad, but she also loved him. She said, "I love you too, Spot. But you have to be a good dog. You have to yield to the other dogs. You have to listen to me. You have to stay clean and dry. Do you understand?"
+
+Spot nodded and wagged his tail. He said, "Woof, woof. I understand, Lily. I will be a good dog. I will yield to the other dogs. I will listen to you. I will stay clean and dry."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Spot. She said, "That's good, Spot. Now let's go home and give you a bath. You need a bath. You are very smelly!"
+
+Spot agreed and followed Lily. He did not like baths, but he liked Lily. He hoped she would forgive him and play with him later. He learned his lesson. He would yield to the other dogs. He would listen to Lily. He would stay clean and dry. He would be a good dog.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a doll, a car and a tiger. The tiger was not a real tiger, but a toy tiger that made a roar sound when you pressed a button.
+
+"Roar!" Ben pressed the button and made the tiger roar at Lila. Lila laughed and threw the ball at the tiger. The ball hit the tiger and knocked it off the bench. The tiger fell on the grass and rolled down a hill.
+
+"Oh no! The tiger!" Lila and Ben ran after the tiger. They wanted to get it back. But when they reached the bottom of the hill, they saw something strange. The tiger was very small. It was smaller than the ball. It was smaller than the doll. It was smaller than the car. It was as small as a bug.
+
+"What happened to the tiger?" Lila asked. She picked up the tiny tiger and held it in her hand. It still made a roar sound, but very softly.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe the ball made it shrink." Ben said. He looked around and saw a big sign. The sign had some words on it, but they could not read them. They only saw a picture of a magnifying glass and a warning sign.
+
+"Maybe this is a magic hill. Maybe it can make things big or small." Ben said.
+
+"Maybe we should go back. I don't want to shrink too." Lila said. She was fearful. She did not like the magic hill. She wanted to play with her normal-sized tiger.
+
+"OK, let's go back. But we have to be careful. Maybe there are other things that can make us shrink." Ben said. He took the car and the doll and followed Lila. They walked up the hill, holding their toys tightly. They hoped the magic hill would not make them shrink. They hoped they would find their ball and their parents. They hoped their tiger would grow back to its normal size. They hoped they would never see the magic hill again.
+Anna and Ben were very excite to go to the park with Mom. They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the car. Mom drove them to the big park with swings and slides and a pond.
+
+"Look, Mom, ducks!" Ben shouted, pointing to the water. He saw some ducks swimming and quacking. He wanted to feed them. "Can we give them some rice, Mom?"
+
+Mom nodded and took out a bag of rice from her purse. She gave some to Ben and some to Anna. "Be careful, kids," she said. "Don't go too close to the water. And don't throw too much rice at once. The ducks might get sick."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and walked to the edge of the pond. They saw the ducks come closer to them. They smiled and threw some rice to the ducks. The ducks ate the rice and made happy noises. Anna and Ben laughed and clapped.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," they said. "This is fun. We love the ducks. And the rice." Mom smiled and hugged them. She was happy to see them enjoy the park. She loved them very much.
+Lily and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They are building a big tower with many colors. Lily likes to make the tower taller and taller. Ben likes to make the tower wider and wider.
+
+"Look, Lily, our tower is so big!" Ben says. "Can we finish it now?"
+
+"No, Ben, we need more blocks!" Lily says. "I want to make it the biggest tower ever!"
+
+Lily and Ben keep adding more blocks to the tower. They are having fun, but they are also making a lot of noise. They do not hear their mom calling them from the kitchen.
+
+"Lily! Ben! It is time for lunch!" Mom says. "Come to the table, please!"
+
+Lily and Ben do not answer. They are too busy with their tower. Mom comes to the living room and sees the mess. She is not happy.
+
+"Lily! Ben! What are you doing?" Mom says. "You made a big mess with the blocks! And you did not listen to me! You have to clean up and come to lunch now!"
+
+Lily and Ben look at their mom. They feel sorry. They love their tower, but they also love their mom. They do not want to make her angry.
+
+"Sorry, mom," Lily says. "We were playing with the blocks. We wanted to finish our tower. It is very clever, see?"
+
+"Yes, it is clever, but it is also very noisy," Mom says. "You have to be quiet when you play. And you have to listen to me when I call you. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, mom, we understand," Ben says. "We will be quiet and listen to you. Can we finish our tower later?"
+
+"Maybe, if you clean up and eat your lunch," Mom says. "But first, you have to give me a hug and say sorry."
+
+Lily and Ben give their mom a hug and say sorry. They love their mom. They start to clean up the blocks and go to the table. They hope they can finish their tower later. They think it is very clever.
+Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big red ball, a yellow bucket and a blue shovel. They also had a small brown rock that they found one day. They called it Rocky and pretended it was their pet.
+
+One day, they saw a big black dog in the park. It was barking and running around. Sam and Lily were scared of the dog. They hid behind a bench and hugged Rocky.
+
+"Shh, be quiet," Sam whispered to Lily. "Maybe the dog will go away."
+
+"I hope so," Lily whispered back. "Rocky, be quiet too."
+
+They heard the dog come closer. It sniffed the bench and saw the ball, the bucket and the shovel. It picked up the ball in its mouth and ran away.
+
+Sam and Lily peeked from behind the bench. They saw the dog playing with the ball. They were glad it did not see them or Rocky.
+
+"Let's go home," Sam said. "It's not safe here."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "But we have to take Rocky with us. He's our friend."
+
+They put Rocky in the bucket and carried it with them. They left the shovel behind. They did not care about the shovel. They only cared about Rocky.
+
+Rocky was an ordinary rock, but to Sam and Lily, he was very special. They loved to rock him in their arms and tell him stories. They felt safe and happy with Rocky. He was their quiet and loyal pet.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a bird on a tree. The bird was small and brown and had a red spot on its head. It made a pretty sound with its mouth. It sounded like a whistle.
+
+"Look, Lily, a bird!" Tom said. "Can you whistle like the bird?"
+
+Lily tried to whistle, but she could not. She only made a puff of air. She felt sad. She wanted to whistle like the bird.
+
+"I can't whistle, Tom," Lily said. "Can you whistle?"
+
+Tom smiled. He put his lips together and blew. He made a whistle sound. He felt happy. He whistled again and again.
+
+"I can whistle, Lily," Tom said. "Do you want me to teach you how to whistle?"
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted to learn how to whistle. Tom showed her how to put her lips together and blow gently. He told her to practice and not give up.
+
+Lily tried to whistle again. She blew harder and harder. She made a loud noise. It sounded like a scream. The bird on the tree got scared. It flew away. It dropped a fragile egg from its nest. The egg fell on the ground and broke. It made a mess.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, look what you did!" Tom said. "You scared the bird and broke its egg. That was not nice. That was not a whistle. That was a scream."
+
+Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to scare the bird and break its egg. She wanted to whistle like the bird. She looked at the broken egg and the empty nest. She felt sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry, bird. I can't whistle yet. I need more practice. Maybe one day I can whistle like the bird. Maybe one day the bird can make another egg. Can we still be friends?" Lily said.
+
+Tom hugged Lily. He forgave her. He knew she did not do it on purpose. He was still her friend. He wanted to help her whistle.
+
+"Of course we can still be friends, Lily. Don't worry. We can practice whistling together. Maybe we can find another bird to listen to. Maybe we can make a new nest for the bird. Come on, let's go and play some more." Tom said.
+
+Tom and Lily ran, jumped and slid on the grass and the swings. They had fun. They tried to whistle. They hoped the bird would come back. They were good friends.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with bricks. They can build houses, towers, and cars with bricks. But sometimes they fight over the bricks. They want the same bricks or they break each other's bricks.
+
+One day, Mom tells them to behave. She says she has to work and they have to play quietly. She gives them a big box of bricks and says they can share them. Tom and Lily say yes, Mom, and start to play.
+
+But soon, Tom gets lazy. He does not want to build anything. He just wants to take Lily's bricks and throw them around. Lily gets angry. She says, "Stop it, Tom! You are being bad! Give me back my bricks!"
+
+Tom laughs and says, "No, Lily! I want your bricks! They are more fun than mine!" He throws more bricks at Lily and her house. Lily cries and says, "Mom! Tom is being mean! He is breaking my house!"
+
+Mom hears Lily and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the mess and the bricks. She sees Tom and Lily. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, what are you doing? Why are you throwing bricks at Lily? Why are you being lazy and naughty?"
+
+Tom says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was bored. I didn't want to build anything. I just wanted to play with Lily's bricks."
+
+Mom says, "That is not a good way to play, Tom. You have to respect Lily and her bricks. You have to share and be nice. You have to behave and not be lazy. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I'm sorry, Lily. Can I help you fix your house?"
+
+Lily says, "Yes, Tom. You can help me. But you have to be careful and gentle with the bricks. And you have to use your own bricks too."
+
+Tom says, "OK, Lily. I will. Thank you for forgiving me."
+
+Mom says, "That's better, Tom and Lily. I'm glad you are being good and kind. Now you can play with the bricks together. But please, play quietly. I have to work."
+
+Tom and Lily say, "Yes, Mom. We will. We love you."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Tom and Lily. Have fun with the bricks." She goes back to work.
+
+Tom and Lily smile and hug. They start to build a new house with the bricks. They share and help each other. They behave and are not lazy. They are happy.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to pretend that their cars were racing or working in a factory.
+
+One day, they decided to make a factory with their cars and some boxes. They put some boxes on the floor and made a ramp with a board. They said that the ramp was a machine that made the cars shiny. They took turns to push their cars up the ramp and watch them slide down.
+
+Ben had a red car that was his favorite. He said that his car was the fastest and the toughest. He pushed his car up the ramp very hard and made a loud noise. Sam had a blue car that was his favorite. He said that his car was the smartest and the coolest. He pushed his car up the ramp very gently and made a soft noise.
+
+Ben and Sam started to argue about whose car was better. They said mean things to each other and tried to push each other's cars off the ramp. They got angry and started to yell.
+
+"Stop it! Stop it!" their mom said. She heard them yelling and came to see what was wrong. She saw their cars and boxes on the floor and their faces red and wet. She was not happy.
+
+"Why are you yelling and fighting?" she asked. "You are supposed to share and play nicely. You are brothers and you should love each other."
+
+Ben and Sam felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said sorry to their mom and helped her clean up the mess. They learned that yelling and fighting was not fun and that playing together was better. They decided to make a new factory with their cars and boxes, but this time they agreed to take turns and compliment each other's cars. They had fun and their mom was proud.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they hear a sound in the bushes. It is a soft and funny sound, like a squeak.
+
+"What is that sound?" Tim asks.
+
+"Let's go and see!" Sam says.
+
+They follow the sound to the bushes. They see a small and furry animal. It has big ears and a long tail. It is a mouse.
+
+"Hello, mouse!" Tim says.
+
+The mouse looks at them with bright eyes. It is not afraid. It is intelligent. It makes the sound again.
+
+"Can you talk, mouse?" Sam asks.
+
+The mouse nods. It says, "Yes, I can. I learned from the books in the library. I like to read and learn."
+
+Tim and Sam are amazed. They have never met a talking mouse before.
+
+"Wow, you are very smart, mouse!" Tim says.
+
+"Thank you, boys. You are very kind," the mouse says.
+
+"Can we be your friends, mouse?" Sam asks.
+
+The mouse smiles. It says, "Of course, you can. I would love to have friends like you."
+
+Tim and Sam are happy. They have found a new friend in the park. They play and talk with the mouse. They have a lot of fun. They are glad they followed the sound.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big red ball on the grass. Anna runs to get it, but Ben gets there first.
+
+"Give me the ball, Ben!" Anna says. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Ben says. "It is my ball now!"
+
+Anna is angry. She tries to grab the ball from Ben, but he holds it tight. He sticks out his tongue at Anna.
+
+"Ben, you are not nice!" Anna says. "You are mean!"
+
+Ben laughs. He thinks it is a joke. He says, "Anna, you are silly! You are funny!"
+
+Anna does not think it is a joke. She does not laugh. She ignores Ben. She turns away and walks to the swings. She does not want to play with Ben anymore.
+
+Ben is confused. He does not understand why Anna is mad. He thinks she is playing a joke on him. He follows her to the swings. He says, "Anna, come back! Let's play with the ball!"
+
+Anna does not answer. She ignores Ben. She swings higher and higher. She does not look at Ben.
+
+Ben is sad. He does not like to be ignored. He wants to be friends with Anna again. He says, "Anna, I am sorry. I was wrong. You can have the ball."
+
+Anna stops swinging. She looks at Ben. She sees the ball in his hand. She smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. That is nice of you. Do you want to share the ball?"
+
+Ben smiles too. He says, "Yes, I do. Let's share the ball. We can play together."
+
+Anna and Ben are friends again. They run to the grass. They play with the ball. They have fun. They do not ignore each other. They do not make jokes that hurt. They are happy.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play games in the park. One day, they see a big box near the slide. They run to the box and open it. Inside, they find many toys and books.
+
+"Wow, look at all these things!" Ben says. "Let's play with them!"
+
+"Yes, let's!" Mia agrees. They take out some cars, dolls, puzzles and crayons. They have fun playing with the new toys.
+
+But then, a boy appears. He is bigger and older than Ben and Mia. He has a mean face and a loud voice. He walks to the box and says, "Hey, these are my toys! Give them back!"
+
+Ben and Mia are scared. They don't know the boy. They don't want to give back the toys. They like the toys.
+
+"No, they are not your toys!" Ben says. "We found them first!"
+
+"Too bad!" the boy says. He grabs the box and pulls it away. Some toys fall out and break. Ben and Mia cry.
+
+"Stop it! You are hurting the toys!" Mia says.
+
+"I don't care! They are mine!" the boy says. He kicks the toys and laughs.
+
+Ben and Mia are very sad and angry. They want to stop the boy. They want to keep the toys. They want to play with them. They don't know what to do.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big white bird in the sky. It had long wings and a shiny halo.
+
+"Look, Lily, an angel!" Ben said.
+
+"Wow, it is so pretty!" Lily said. "Do you think it can talk to us?"
+
+"Maybe. Let's wave to it and say hello," Ben said.
+
+They waved their hands and shouted, "Hello, angel! We are Lily and Ben. We are good kids. Can you be our friend?"
+
+The angel heard them and smiled. It flew down to them and landed on the grass. It looked very kind and gentle.
+
+"Hello, Lily and Ben. I am glad you are good kids. I can be your friend. What do you like to do?" the angel asked.
+
+"We like to play on the swings and the slide and the sandbox," Lily said.
+
+"We also like to draw and sing and read," Ben said.
+
+"That sounds fun. I can play with you and teach you new things. Do you want to come with me?" the angel asked.
+
+Lily and Ben felt happy and excited. They thought the angel was very nice and dependable. They nodded and said, "Yes, please. We want to come with you."
+
+The angel smiled again and said, "Good. Then hold my hands and we will fly together."
+
+Lily and Ben held the angel's hands and felt a warm breeze. They lifted off the ground and soared into the sky. They laughed and cheered.
+
+But the angel was not really an angel. It was a bad bird that liked to trick and hurt kids. It took Lily and Ben far away from the park and their homes. It brought them to a dark and scary place. It locked them in a cage and said, "Now you are mine. You will never see your families or friends again. You will do what I say or I will make you suffer."
+
+Lily and Ben felt scared and sad. They realized they had made a big mistake. They wished they had never trusted the angel. They cried and screamed for help. But no one heard them. They were alone and trapped. The end.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. But today the weather is bad. It is cold and wet and windy. Lily and Tom are sad.
+
+They look out the window and see the gray sky. They see the rain and the leaves. They see the cars and the people with umbrellas. They want to go out and have fun.
+
+Lily has an idea. She runs to her room and gets her crayons and paper. She comes back and gives some to Tom. She says, "Let's draw what we want to do outside. Maybe the weather will get better soon."
+
+Tom likes the idea. He takes a crayon and starts to draw. He draws a big sun and a blue sky. He draws a green park and a slide. He draws himself and Lily smiling and holding hands.
+
+Lily draws too. She draws a rainbow and some clouds. She draws a lake and a boat. She draws herself and Tom wearing hats and sunglasses.
+
+They show each other their drawings and laugh. They feel happy. They put their drawings on the wall. They say, "These drawings remind us of the good weather. We hope it comes back soon. But we can still have fun inside."
+Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her scooter. She did not like to talk to other kids or share her toys. She thought her scooter was the best thing in the world and she did not want anyone to touch it.
+
+One day, she took her scooter to the park and saw a boy named Max. Max was friendly and wanted to play with Lily. He asked her if he could try her scooter for a little while. Lily said no and rode away. She did not want to share her scooter with Max or anyone else.
+
+Max felt sad and went to play with other kids. He found a magic wand that someone had left on a bench. He did not know it was magic, but he liked to pretend it was. He waved it around and said some silly words. He saw Lily riding her scooter and thought she looked lonely. He wanted to make her happy, so he pointed the wand at her and said, "Shrink, shrink, shrink!"
+
+Suddenly, Lily felt a strange feeling. She looked down and saw that she was getting smaller and smaller. Her scooter was getting bigger and bigger. She was shrinking! She screamed and tried to get off the scooter, but it was too late. She was too small to reach the ground. She was stuck on the scooter.
+
+Max saw what he had done and felt sorry. He ran to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shrink you. I just wanted to play with you. Please don't be mad at me. I'll try to make you big again."
+
+Lily was scared and angry. She did not want to be small. She did not want to play with Max. She wanted to be big and have her scooter back. She said, "Go away, go away, you are a bad boy. You made me shrink. You can't make me big again. You are not my friend."
+
+Max felt bad and cried. He did not know how to make Lily big again. He did not know how to use the magic wand. He wished he had never found it. He wished he had never shrunk Lily. He wished he had been nicer to her.
+
+He looked at the wand and had an idea. He said, "Maybe if I say sorry and share, the wand will make you big again. Maybe that's the magic word. Please, Lily, please, let me try. I'm sorry and I'll share. I'll share my wand and my toys and anything you want. Please, Lily, please, be my friend."
+
+Lily heard Max and felt sorry too. She saw that he was crying and that he was trying to help her. She realized that she had been mean and selfish. She realized that she did not like to be small and alone. She realized that she wanted to be big and have friends. She said, "Okay, Max, okay, I'll let you try. I'm sorry and I'll share. I'll share my scooter and my toys and anything you want. Please, Max, please, make me big again."
+
+Max smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily, thank you, you are very kind. I hope this works. Shrink, shrink, shrink, no more. Big, big, big, once more."
+
+He waved the wand and said the words. He hoped they would work. He hoped Lily would be big again. He hoped they would be friends.
+
+Suddenly, Lily felt a strange feeling. She looked up and saw that she was getting bigger and bigger. Her scooter was getting smaller and smaller. She was growing! She was big again! She jumped off the scooter and hugged Max. She said, "Thank you, Max, thank you, you are very smart. You made me big again. You are my friend."
+
+Max hugged Lily and said, "You're welcome, Lily, you're welcome, you are very brave. You were small and still nice. You are my friend."
+
+They smiled and laughed. They decided to play together. They decided to share the scooter and the wand and their toys. They decided to be friends.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Being selfish is not fun. Being kind is better. Making friends is magic.
+Sara likes to play with bubbles. She has a big bottle of bubble soap and a wand. She blows into the wand and makes many bubbles. The bubbles are shiny and round. They float in the air and make Sara happy.
+
+But today, Sara is sad. She cannot play with bubbles outside. It is raining and the rain makes the bubbles pop. Sara sighs and looks out the window. She wishes the rain would stop.
+
+Then, Sara has an idea. She runs to the kitchen and asks her mom for a straw. She gets a glass of milk and puts the straw in it. She blows into the straw and makes many bubbles. The bubbles are white and foamy. They fill the glass and spill over. Sara laughs and drinks the milk. The milk is tasty and makes Sara warm.
+
+Sara is not sad anymore. She can play with bubbles inside. She thinks bubbles are fun, no matter where they are. She hugs her mom and says thank you. She hopes the sun will come out tomorrow, so she can play with bubbles outside again.
+Tim and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like monkeys, lions, and elephants. Tim liked the elephants best, because they had big ears and long noses. Lily liked the monkeys best, because they made funny noises and jumped around.
+
+Then they came to the rhinoceros. The rhinoceros was big and gray, and had a horn on its nose. Tim and Lily wanted to see it closer, so they ran to the fence. Mom and Dad told them to be careful, and not to touch the fence.
+
+But Tim was too curious. He reached out his hand and touched the fence. The fence was electric, and it gave Tim a shock. Tim cried out loud, and let go of the fence. He dropped his toy car, and it fell on the ground. The toy car broke into pieces.
+
+Lily saw what happened, and ran to Tim. She hugged him and said, "Are you okay, Tim? I'm sorry your car broke. It was a nice car."
+
+Tim stopped crying, and hugged Lily back. He said, "I'm okay, Lily. Thank you for being nice. The fence hurt me, and the rhinoceros scared me. I don't like the rhinoceros anymore."
+
+Mom and Dad came to Tim and Lily, and checked if they were hurt. They said, "We're glad you're okay, Tim and Lily. But you should listen to us, and not touch the fence. The fence is there to keep the rhinoceros and the people safe. The rhinoceros is not mean, but it is very strong. It can break things with its horn."
+
+Tim and Lily nodded, and said they were sorry. Mom and Dad gave them a hug, and said they loved them. They said they would buy them a new toy car, and a toy monkey. Tim and Lily smiled, and said they loved them too. They said they still liked the zoo, but they liked the elephants and the monkeys more than the rhinoceros.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, it rains a lot. The rain makes many puddles on the ground. Tom and Mia want to jump in the puddles.
+
+They put on their boots and coats. They run outside. They see a big puddle near the tree. They run to the puddle. They jump in the puddle. Splash! Splash! They laugh and have fun.
+
+But then, they hear a yell. It is Tom's mom. She is angry. She says, "Tom, what are you doing? You are wet and dirty. Come inside right now. You will catch a cold."
+
+Tom is scared. He says, "Sorry, mom. I was just playing with Mia. We like the puddles."
+
+Mia is scared too. She says, "Sorry, Tom's mom. We did not mean to make you mad. We will go home now."
+
+Tom and Mia get out of the puddle. They say goodbye to each other. They go to their homes. They hope they can play in the puddles again. But next time, they will be more careful. They do not want to make their moms yell.
+Bee and Bear were friends. Bee liked to make honey in the flowers. Bear liked to eat honey from the hive. One day, Bee saw Bear near the hive.
+
+"Hello, Bear," Bee said. "Do you want some honey?"
+
+"Yes, please, Bee," Bear said. "You are very kind to share your honey with me."
+
+Bee and Bear smiled. They were happy to share. But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. The truck came to take the hive away.
+
+"Oh no!" Bee said. "That is our home and our honey!"
+
+"Oh no!" Bear said. "We have to stop the truck!"
+
+Bee and Bear ran after the truck. They buzzed and roared. They tried to make the truck stop. But the truck was too fast and too big. Bee and Bear could not catch it.
+
+Bee and Bear felt sad. They lost their home and their honey. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Maybe we can find a new home and a new honey," Bee said.
+
+"Maybe we can," Bear said. "But we still have each other. We are still friends."
+
+Bee and Bear hugged. They were still friends. They decided to look for a new home and a new honey together. They hoped to find a kind place where they could be happy.

+Mia and Leo were twins who loved to bake with their mom. One day, they decided to make some cookies for their dad, who was coming home from work. They put on their aprons and helped mom mix the flour, butter, eggs and sugar in a big bowl.
+
+"Can I add the chocolate chips?" Mia asked.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Leo said.
+
+"Of course, you can both add some," mom said. "But not too many, or the cookies will be too sweet."
+
+Mia and Leo took turns to pour some chocolate chips into the bowl and stir them with a wooden spoon. They gazed at the dough with big eyes, imagining how yummy the cookies would be.
+
+Mom helped them scoop the dough onto a baking tray and put it in the oven. She set the timer and told them to wait for 15 minutes.
+
+While they waited, Mia and Leo played with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun with their stuffed animals, cars and blocks. They pretended to have a tea party, a race and a castle.

+
+"Can we have one, mom?" Mia asked.
+
+"Can we have two, mom?" Leo asked.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You can have one each, but be careful, they are hot. And save some for dad, he will be here soon."
+
+Mia and Leo each took a cookie and blew on it to cool it down. They took a bite and smiled. The cookies were soft and sweet, with crunchy chocolate chips. They thanked mom for helping them bake and gave her a hug.
+
+They heard the door open and dad's voice. They ran to the door with their cookies and greeted him.
+
+"Hi, dad!" they said.
+
+"Hi, my sweeties!" dad said. "What do you have there?"
+
+"We made cookies for you, dad!" Mia said.

+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. But Lily was selfish and did not like to share. She always wanted the best toys for herself and took them from Ben. Ben was sad and asked his mom for help.
+
+Mom said, "Lily, you have to share with your brother. It is not nice to be selfish. How would you feel if Ben took your toys?" Lily did not listen. She said, "I don't care. They are my toys and I want them all."
+
+One night, Lily and Ben were getting ready for bed. Mom gave them each a storybook to read. Lily saw that Ben had a book with colorful pictures and animals. She wanted that book too. She said, "Ben, give me your book. It is better than mine." Ben said, "No, Lily. This is my book. You have your own book. Why don't you read it?" Lily got angry and snatched the book from Ben. She said, "Ha ha, now I have two books and you have none. You are a loser."
+
+Ben cried and ran to mom. Mom saw what happened and was very disappointed with Lily. She said, "Lily, that was very mean and selfish of you. You hurt your brother's feelings and took his book. You have to give it back to him and say sorry." Lily did not want to. She said, "No, mom. I like this book. It is mine now."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, if you don't give back the book and say sorry, you will have no books at all. I will take them away and you will have nothing to read. Is that what you want?" Lily thought for a moment. She realized that she was being selfish and that she would lose her books if she did not change. She felt sorry for Ben and for herself. She said, "Mom, I am sorry. I was selfish and mean. I will give back the book to Ben and say sorry. Please don't take away my books. I love them."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "That's good, Lily. I am proud of you for saying sorry and sharing. Sharing is caring. You and Ben can both enjoy the books and have fun. Now, go and make up with your brother." Lily nodded and went to Ben. She gave him back his book and said, "Ben, I am sorry. I was selfish and mean. I should not have taken your book. Can you forgive me?" Ben smiled and hugged Lily. He said, "Of course, Lily. I forgive you. You are my sister and I love you. Thank you for giving back my book. Do you want to read it with me?" Lily said, "Yes, Ben. I would love to read it with you. You are my brother and I love you too. Let's read it together." They both cuddled up with their books and read happily until they fell asleep. Mom watched them and smiled. She was glad that they learned to share and be kind. She turned off the light and said, "Good night, my sweet twins. I love you both."
+Lila was playing with her dolls on the rug in her room. She liked the rug. It was soft and pink and had flowers on it. She made her dolls talk and have tea and sing songs.
+
+But then it was time for bed. Mommy came and said, "Lila, you need to put away your toys and brush your teeth. It's getting dark outside and you need to sleep."
+
+Lila did not want to stop playing. She said, "No, Mommy, I want to play more. The rug is fun and the dolls are happy. I don't need to sleep."
+
+Mommy was firm. She said, "Lila, you can play again tomorrow. But now you need to sleep. Sleeping is good for you. It helps you grow and learn and dream. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and then I'll read you a story."
+
+Lila pouted. She put away her toys and followed Mommy to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and washed her face. Then she went back to her room with Mommy. Mommy tucked her in and turned on the night light. She read her a story about a princess and a dragon. Lila liked the story. She felt sleepy.

+Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big cloud in the sky. It looked like a dragon with wings and a tail. Sara and Tom wanted to mark the cloud with their fingers.
+
+They pointed at the cloud and said, "Look, it's a dragon! It's so big and scary!" They made noises like a dragon and pretended to fly. They had fun with the cloud.

+But then, a wind came and blew the cloud away. Sara and Tom were sad. They wanted the cloud to stay. They looked for another cloud, but they could not find one. The sky was blue and clear.
+
+Sara and Tom sat on the grass and felt bored. They wished they had something to play with. Then, they saw a bird on a tree. It was singing a pretty song. Sara and Tom smiled and listened to the bird.

+
+They learned that the best thing to play with was a friend. They did not need a cloud or a bird to have fun. They had each other and that was enough. They were happy and grateful.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big hole with a wall around it. Lily said, "What is that?"
+
+Tom said, "That is a well. It has water inside. But it is dangerous. We should not go near it."
+
+Lily was curious. She wanted to see the water. She said, "I want to look. Just a little bit."
+
+Tom said, "No, Lily. It is too deep. You can fall in. And it is cold. You can shiver. And it is dark. You can get lost. Please, Lily, stay away."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She ran to the well. She climbed on the wall. She leaned over the hole. She saw the water. It was shiny and black. She said, "Wow, it is pretty."
+
+But then she slipped. She lost her balance. She screamed. She fell in the well.
+
+Tom heard her scream. He ran to the well. He looked in the hole. He saw Lily. She was in the water. She was shivering. She was crying. She said, "Help, Tom. Help me. I am scared."
+
+Tom was scared too. He did not know what to do. He shouted, "Lily, hold on. I will get help. Don't let go."
+
+He ran to the house. He found his mom. He said, "Mom, mom, Lily fell in the well. She is in the water. She is shivering. She is crying. Please, mom, help her."
+
+Mom was shocked. She said, "Oh, no. Lily, Lily, where are you?"
+
+She followed Tom to the well. She looked in the hole. She saw Lily. She said, "Lily, Lily, I am here. I will get you out. Don't worry. You are brave. You are strong."
+
+She called dad. She called the firemen. They came with a rope. They lowered the rope in the well. They told Lily to grab the rope. They pulled Lily out of the well. They wrapped her in a blanket. They hugged her. They said, "Lily, Lily, you are safe. You are okay. We love you."
+
+Lily was wet. She was cold. She was shivering. She was sorry. She said, "Mom, dad, Tom, I am sorry. I was silly. I should have listened. The well was dangerous. I was scared. I love you."
+
+Mom, dad, and Tom said, "We love you too, Lily. We are glad you are okay. But please, Lily, never go near the well again. It is dangerous. It is not a toy. It is not a game. It is a well."

+
+His mom told him that he should have been more careful with his monkey. She said that he should have shared his monkey with the other kids, or asked them to watch it for him.

He still loved his monkey, even if it was small.

+
+But the boat does not come closer. It goes away. Sara and Ben are sad. They ask their mom and dad why the boat does not come. Their mom and dad say the boat is going to another place. They say the boat is very expensive and not for everyone.
+
+Sara and Ben do not understand. They think the boat is very pretty and fun. They wish they could go on the boat and see the world. They pray to God and ask him to let them go on the boat someday.
+
+Their mom and dad hug them and tell them they love them. They say God loves them too and has a plan for them. They say they do not need a fancy boat to be happy. They have each other and the beach and the waves. They say they can still dream and imagine and learn about the world.

+
+Lila shakes her head and says, "No, thank you. I don't want soup. I want ice cream." Lulu says, "But ice cream is cold and sweet. It will not make you better. Soup will make you better. Please, Lila, eat some soup."

+
+Lily's mom and dad saw what happened and hugged her. They told her that not all animals are friendly, and that she should be careful and respectful when she meets them. They also told her that laughing is good, but not at the expense of others. They said that laughing with others is better than laughing at others.
+

+
+The nurse took Lily to a room. She gave her a bed and a blanket. She checked her temperature and her heart. She gave her some medicine and some water. She said, "Lily, you are very brave.

+Lily and Sam like to play on the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. They see the big water and the waves. They want to go in the water, but Mom says no. She says the water is too deep and too cold. She says they have to stay on the sand and be safe.
+
+But Lily and Sam do not listen. They wait until Mom is busy with the baby. Then they run to the water. They think it is fun to splash and jump. They do not see the big wave coming. The big wave is very fast and very strong. It catches Lily and Sam and pulls them under.
+
+Mom hears them scream. She looks up and sees the water. She drops the baby and runs to the water. She tries to find Lily and Sam, but she cannot. The water is too dark and too noisy.

+
+Ben did not answer. He was busy making a big wall. He did not want to share his blocks. He was rude.
+
+Lily reached for the block. Ben saw her and shouted. "No! That's mine! Go away!"
+
+He pushed Lily's hand. The block with the hook fell from Lily's hand. It hit Ben's wall. The wall crashed down. The blocks scattered everywhere.
+
+Ben was angry. He cried. "Look what you did! You ruined my wall!"
+
+Lily was sad. She did not mean to make Ben's wall fall. She just wanted to attach the block. She said sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not want to break your wall. I just wanted to play with you."
+
+Ben looked at Lily. He saw her sad face. He felt sorry too. He said sorry.

+
+"OK, Sara, but be careful. The bench is heavy and the birds might fly away," Ben said.
+
+They walked to the bench and Sara took out the bread. She broke it into small pieces and spread them on the bench. The birds saw the bread and came closer. They made loud noises and pecked at the bread.

+
+"Come on, Mia, it's fun!" Leo said. "You can pretend you are flying to the stars and the moon and the planets. You can see the whole universe from up there!"
+
+Mia looked at the rocket. It was very high and shiny and had a loud noise. She felt afraid and said, "No, thank you. I like the swing better."
+
+Leo shrugged and climbed into the rocket. He pushed a button and the rocket started to shake and roar. He smiled and waved at Mia and mom. "Bye-bye, I'm going to the universe!" he shouted.
+
+Mia watched as the rocket went up and up and up. She saw Leo's face get smaller and smaller and smaller. She felt sad and worried. She wondered if Leo would come back. She started to tremble and cry.
+
+Mom hugged Mia and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. Leo is just playing. The rocket will come down soon. He is not really going to the universe. He is still here with us."
+
+Mia sniffed and said, "But I miss him. I want him to play with me."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I know, honey. How about we go get some ice cream while we wait? I bet Leo will be hungry when he comes back. What flavor do you want?"
+
+Mia thought for a moment and said, "Chocolate. Chocolate is yummy."
+
+Mom nodded and said, "Chocolate it is. Come on, let's go. Maybe we can see some birds and flowers on the way."
+
+Mia wiped her tears and held mom's hand. She felt better and said, "Okay, mom. Let's go. Maybe Leo will want some chocolate too."
+
+They walked to the ice cream shop and bought two cones of chocolate ice cream. They sat on a bench and licked their ice cream. They saw some birds and flowers and smiled.
+
+Soon, they heard a loud noise and looked up. They saw the rocket coming down and landing on the ground. They saw Leo jumping out of the rocket and running to them. He looked happy and excited.
+
+"Hi, Mia! Hi, mom! That was awesome! I saw the stars and the moon and the planets. I saw the whole universe!" he said.
+
+Mia smiled and said, "Hi, Leo! I'm glad you had fun. Do you want some ice cream? It's chocolate. Chocolate is yummy."
+
+Leo nodded and said, "Yes, please. I'm hungry. Chocolate is yummy."
+
+Mom gave Leo her cone and said, "Here you go, Leo. You can have mine. I'm proud of you for being brave and adventurous. But I'm also glad you're back."
+
+Leo hugged mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love you, Mia. You're the best sister ever."
+
+Mia hugged Leo and said, "I love you too, Leo. You're the best brother ever."
+
+They ate their ice cream and talked about the rocket and the universe and the park. They felt happy and warm. They were a family.
+Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had a long white dress and a shiny ring. Sara said Lily was going to marry a prince.
+
+One day, Sara took Lily to the park. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She put Lily on the top of the slide and said, "Wait for me, Lily. I will come back soon." Then she ran to the ladder.
+
+But Sara did not see a dragon. The dragon was hiding behind a tree. He saw Lily on the slide and thought she was a snack. He flew to the slide and grabbed Lily with his claws. He flew away with Lily in his mouth.
+
+Sara heard Lily scream. She turned around and saw the dragon. She was very scared and sad. She cried, "No, no, no! Give me back my Lily! She is not your snack! She is my doll!"
+
+The dragon heard Sara cry. He felt sorry for her. He did not want to make her sad. He did not know Lily was a doll. He thought she was a real girl. He flew back to the park and landed near Sara. He opened his mouth and let Lily go. He said, "I am sorry, little girl. I did not mean to hurt you or your Lily. I was hungry and I made a mistake. Please forgive me."
+
+Sara was surprised and happy. She ran to Lily and hugged her. She checked her dress and her ring. They were still there. She said, "Thank you, dragon. Thank you for bringing back my Lily. You are very kind and brave. I forgive you."
+
+The dragon smiled. He said, "You are very kind and brave, too. You love your Lily very much. You are a good friend. Can I be your friend, too?"
+
+Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, you can be my friend. What is your name?"
+
+The dragon said, "My name is Max. What is yours?"
+
+Sara said, "My name is Sara. Nice to meet you, Max."
+
+They became friends. They played together in the park. They shared their snacks. They had fun. Sara said, "Max, you are a lucky dragon. You have a big heart and a big smile. And you have me as a friend."
+
+Max said, "Sara, you are a lucky girl. You have a beautiful doll and a beautiful ring. And you have me as a friend."
+
+They were both lucky. And they were both happy.
+Tom and Anna like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big red car. The car can roll very fast on the floor. Tom and Anna take turns to push the car and make it go zoom.
+
+One day, they find a shiny key in their toy box. They do not know what the key is for. They try to put the key in the car, but it does not fit. They try to put the key in other toys, but it does not fit. They wonder what the key can do.
+
+They decide to look for something different. They go to the kitchen and see a big white box. The box has a door and a handle. They see a hole in the handle. They think maybe the key can fit in the hole. They try to put the key in the hole, and it fits. They turn the key and hear a click. They open the door and see many cold things inside. They see ice, milk, cheese, and fruit. They are very happy. They think they have found a treasure.
+
+They take out some ice and play with it. They make shapes and throw them at each other. They laugh and have fun. They do not hear their mom coming. She sees them and the mess they have made. She is not happy. She asks them what they are doing. They show her the key and the box. They say they have found a treasure. She shakes her head and smiles. She says they have found the freezer. She says the key is for the freezer. She says they can keep the key, but they have to clean up the mess. They say okay. They put the things back in the freezer and wipe the floor. They say sorry to their mom. She hugs them and says it is okay. She says they can have some fruit as a snack. They say thank you. They take the key and the car and go to their room. They still think they have found a treasure.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, Sara has a new bike. It is gray and shiny. She is very happy.
+
+"Look at my new bike!" Sara says to Ben. "Do you want to ride it?"
+
+Ben nods. He likes bikes. He gets on the bike and starts to pedal. He goes fast and feels the wind in his hair.
+
+"Be careful!" Sara says. "Don't go too far!"
+
+But Ben does not listen. He wants to ride more. He goes to the other side of the park. He sees a big hill. He thinks it will be fun to go down the hill.
+
+He rides down the hill. He goes faster and faster. He does not see the rock in the path. He hits the rock and falls off the bike. He hurts his knee and his elbow. He cries.
+
+The bike is also hurt. It has a dent and a scratch. It is not shiny anymore.
+
+Sara hears Ben cry. She runs to him. She sees him and the bike. She is sad and angry.
+
+"Ben, what did you do?" Sara says. "You broke my new bike! You did not listen to me! You were not a good friend!"
+
+Ben is sorry. He knows he was wrong. He says to Sara, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was not careful. I was not a good friend. I will help you fix your bike. Please forgive me."
+
+Sara is still sad and angry. But she sees that Ben is sorry. She remembers that he is her friend. She says to Ben, "I forgive you, Ben. But you have to be more careful. And you have to listen to me. And you have to share. That is what good friends do."
+
+Ben nods. He hugs Sara. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. I will be more careful. I will listen to you. And I will share. That is what good friends do."
+
+They go back to the park. They take turns to ride the bike. They are careful and happy. They learn to be good friends.
+
+The end.
+Ben likes to hop. He hops on the grass, on the rug, on the bed. He hops like a bunny, like a frog, like a kangaroo. He hops when he is happy, when he is bored, when he is silly.
+
+One day, Ben finds a print on the grass. It looks like a big paw with claws. He wonders what made it. He follows the print to see where it goes. He hops from print to print, like a detective.
+
+He comes to a big bush. He hears a growl. He sees two yellow eyes. He feels scared. He stops hopping. He is very alert. He thinks it is a lion or a bear or a monster.
+
+But it is not. It is a big dog. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail. He licks Ben's face. He wants to play. Ben is not scared anymore. He is happy. He hops with the dog. They are friends. They have fun.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made roads and bridges with their blocks and pretended to drive around.
+
+One day, they found a new car in their toy box. It was shiny and red, and it had a button on the roof. Lily and Ben wondered what the button did. They pushed it and the car made a loud noise. "Beep beep!" it said.
+
+Lily and Ben were enthusiastic. They wanted to try the car on their roads. They took turns to drive it and push the button. The car was fast and fun. But sometimes it got stuck on the blocks or hit the wall. Then they had to reverse the car and try again.
+
+They learned how to reverse the car by moving the wheels the other way. They also learned how to use the button to make the car beep and warn the other cars. They had a lot of fun with their new car.
+
+But then, they heard their mom call them. It was time for lunch. They had to put away their toys and go to the kitchen. They were sad to leave their car, but they knew they could play with it later.
+
+They took one last step to the toy box and put the car inside. They pushed the button and said goodbye to the car. "Beep beep!" the car said back. Lily and Ben smiled and ran to the kitchen. They were hungry and happy.
+Lily and Ben went to the circus with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals and people do funny and amazing things. Lily liked the horses that jumped over hoops. Ben liked the elephants that lifted logs with their noses.
+
+But the best part was the clown. He had a big red nose, a colorful wig, and huge shoes. He made everyone laugh with his jokes and tricks. He was very flexible. He could bend his body in many ways. He could twist his legs over his head. He could stretch his arms like rubber. He could even fit inside a tiny car.
+
+The clown also had a friend. It was a lion. The lion was big and furry. He had a long mane and sharp teeth. He looked scary, but he was not. He was very gentle and smart. He listened to the clown and did what he said. He could jump through a ring of fire. He could balance on a ball. He could even roar on command.
+
+The clown and the lion made a great show. They made everyone clap and cheer. Lily and Ben loved them. They wanted to see them again. They asked Mom and Dad if they could go to the circus again. Mom and Dad smiled and said yes. Lily and Ben were very happy. They hugged the clown and the lion and said thank you. The clown and the lion hugged them back and said you're welcome. They were all friends.
+Anna and Ben were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They had many toys and books and clothes, but they were not happy. They always wanted more and more things, and they never shared or said thank you. Their mom and dad were very busy and did not have much time to play with them or teach them how to be kind.
+
+One day, it was very cold and snowy outside, and Anna and Ben were bored. They decided to play a game in the living room, where there was a fireplace. They took some of their toys and books and threw them into the fireplace, pretending they were making a bonfire. They laughed and clapped as they watched the flames grow bigger and bigger.
+
+"Look, we are making a fire!" Anna said.
+
+"Yes, we are! It is so fun and warm!" Ben said.
+
+But they did not notice that the fire was getting out of control, and that some sparks were flying out of the fireplace and onto the carpet and the curtains. Soon, the living room was filled with smoke and fire, and Anna and Ben started to cough and cry.
+
+"Help! Help!" they screamed.
+
+Their mom and dad heard their screams and ran to the living room. They saw the fire and grabbed Anna and Ben and took them outside. They called the firemen, who came with a big truck and a loud siren. They sprayed water on the fire and put it out.
+
+Anna and Ben were very scared and sorry. They hugged their mom and dad and said they were sorry for being naughty and playing with the fire. They realized that they had almost burned their house and their things, and that they were very lucky to be safe.
+
+Their mom and dad were angry and sad, but they also loved their children. They told them that they were very foolish and dangerous, and that they had to learn to respect and appreciate what they had. They said that being rich was not about having many things, but about being happy and grateful and caring.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said they understood. They said they would never play with fire again, and that they would try to be better children. They said they loved their mom and dad, and thanked them for saving them.
+
+Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them back. They said they loved them too, and that they were glad they were okay. They said they would help them rebuild their living room, and that they would spend more time with them and teach them how to be good.
+
+Anna and Ben felt warm and happy in their mom and dad's arms. They looked at the snow outside, and decided that it was a beautiful day.
+Tom was a hunter. He liked to catch animals and eat them. He did not care if the animals were happy or sad. He only cared about his own belly.
+
+One day, he saw a big bird in the sky. He wanted to taste the bird. He took his bow and arrow and shot at the bird. But he missed. The bird flew away and Tom was angry.
+
+He ran after the bird. He did not see where he was going. He fell into a hole. The hole was deep and dark. He could not get out. He shouted for help, but no one heard him.
+
+He was hungry and thirsty. He wished he had some food and water. He wished he had been kind to the animals. He wished he had shared his food and water with them. Maybe they would have helped him.
+
+He learned a lesson. He learned that being greedy and mean is bad. He learned that being kind and generous is good. He hoped that someone would find him and help him. He hoped that he could change and be a fit hunter. A fit hunter is not only strong and fast, but also fair and good.
+Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a box for her dolls, a box for her cars, and a box for her books. She liked to make everything neat and tidy.
+
+One day, she found a bracelet in her box of books. It was shiny and had many colors. Lily did not know where it came from. It was not hers. It was unknown.
+
+She wondered who gave it to her. Maybe it was a gift from her mom or dad. Maybe it was a surprise from her grandma or grandpa. Maybe it was a mistake from the library.
+
+She decided to ask her mom. She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was making lunch. She showed her the bracelet and asked, "Mom, where did this come from?"
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "That is a very special bracelet, Lily. It was mine when I was a little girl. I put it in your box of books because I wanted you to have it. It is a family treasure. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily nodded and hugged her mom back. She said, "I love it, Mom. Thank you for giving it to me. It is very pretty and very special. Can I wear it?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course you can, Lily. It looks beautiful on you. You can wear it whenever you want. Just remember to take good care of it and to organize it with your other things."
+
+Lily said, "I will, Mom. I will organize it with my other things. I will put it in a special box, just for the bracelet. Thank you, Mom. You are the best."
+
+Her mom said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are the best, too." They kissed and hugged and smiled. Lily was happy. She had a new bracelet and a new story to tell.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big flag on a pole. It was red and white and blue. It moved in the wind.
+
+"Let's go see the flag!" Lily said. She ran to the pole. Tom followed her.
+
+But when they got close, they heard a loud noise. It was a dog. It was big and black and angry. It barked and growled and showed its teeth. It wanted to bite them.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They trembled. They did not want to get hurt. They ran away from the dog. They looked for their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, help!" they cried. They saw their mom on a bench. She was reading a book. She heard them and looked up.
+
+She saw the dog. She saw Lily and Tom. She got up and ran to them. She hugged them and said, "It's OK, it's OK, I'm here. You are safe. The dog can't hurt you."
+
+Lily and Tom felt better. They stopped trembling. They thanked their mom. They said they were sorry for leaving her. They said they wanted to see the flag.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "It's OK, I understand. You were curious. But you have to be careful. Some dogs are not friendly. You have to ask before you touch them. And you have to stay close to me."
+
+She took their hands and walked with them to the flag. She told them what the flag meant. She said it was a symbol of their country. She said it was a sign of freedom and peace.
+
+Lily and Tom listened and nodded. They liked the flag. They liked their mom. They felt happy and safe. They waved to the flag and said, "Hello, flag!"
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has many things inside. They see nails, screws, wood, and a hammer.
+
+"Let's make something with these things," Tom says. He takes the hammer and a nail. He tries to hit the nail into the wood.
+
+"Be careful, Tom," Sam says. "The hammer is heavy and loud. You might hurt yourself or make Mom angry."
+
+Tom does not listen to Sam. He thinks he knows how to use the hammer. He is ignorant. He hits the nail very hard. But he misses the wood. He hits his finger instead.
+
+"Ow!" Tom cries. He drops the hammer and the nail. He holds his finger. It is red and sore.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Sam asks. He is worried about his brother.
+
+"No, I'm not okay," Tom says. He is sad and angry. "The hammer is bad. It hurt me."
+
+Sam shakes his head. He knows the hammer is not bad. It is a tool. It can help you make things. But you have to use it right. You have to be careful and gentle.
+
+"Tom, the hammer is not bad," Sam says. He picks up the hammer and the nail. He shows Tom how to use them. He holds the nail on the wood. He taps the hammer lightly. He makes a hole in the wood.
+
+"See, Tom? The hammer can help you make things. But you have to use it right. You have to be careful and gentle. Do you want to try again?"
+
+Tom looks at Sam. He sees the hole in the wood. He sees the hammer and the nail. He feels his finger. He is still sad and angry. But he is also curious.
+
+"Okay, Sam," Tom says. He takes the hammer and the nail from Sam. He holds the nail on the wood. He taps the hammer lightly. He makes another hole in the wood.
+
+"Good job, Tom," Sam says. He smiles at his brother. He is proud of him.
+
+"Thank you, Sam," Tom says. He smiles back at Sam. He is happy. He is not ignorant anymore.
+
+They hug each other. They decide to make a birdhouse with the wood, the nails, and the hammer. They supply food and water for the birds. They watch the birds come and go. They enjoy their toy. They enjoy their play.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a stream in the park. The stream has water and fish and rocks.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna go to the park. They see a big duck in the stream. The duck is yellow and brown. The duck is busy. It is looking for food in the water.
+
+"Look, a duck!" Tom says. He runs to the stream. He wants to touch the duck.
+
+"Wait, Tom!" Anna says. She runs after him. She is scared. She thinks the duck will bite Tom.
+
+Tom does not listen. He does not understand. He reaches the stream. He puts his hand in the water. He tries to grab the duck.
+
+The duck does not like it. The duck is angry. It quacks loudly. It pecks Tom's hand. Tom cries. He pulls his hand out of the water. His hand is red and sore.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. He runs back to Anna. He is sad. He does not like the duck.
+
+"I told you, Tom!" Anna says. She hugs Tom. She is sorry. She tries to make Tom feel better.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. The duck did not mean to hurt you. The duck was busy. The duck did not understand. You should not touch the duck. You should watch the duck from far away. The duck is nice from far away."
+
+Tom nods. He understands. He is still sad, but he is not angry. He and Anna sit on the grass. They watch the duck from far away. The duck is nice from far away.
+Tom was a big boy who liked to play with his toys. He had cars, trains, blocks and a teddy bear. He also liked to pretend he was a doctor, like his dad. He had a white coat, a stethoscope and a bag with some tools.
+
+One day, he decided to play doctor in his dad's office. He put on his coat and his stethoscope and opened the bag. He saw a big red button that said "shrink". He wondered what it did. He pressed it and suddenly he felt very small. He looked around and saw that everything was huge. The desk, the chair, the books, the computer. He was scared.
+
+He tried to call for his mom, but his voice was tiny. He could not reach the door or the window. He saw a big spider crawling on the floor. He ran away and hid under a pile of papers. He hoped his mom would find him soon. He wished he never pressed the button. He wanted to be big again.
+Ben liked hockey very much. He had a hockey stick and a ball that he played with in the yard. He wanted to play hockey with his big brother Tom, but Tom said no. Tom said Ben was too little and he would get hurt.
+
+Ben was sad and angry. He wanted to show Tom that he was good at hockey. He waited until Tom went inside the house, and then he took Tom's hockey stick and ball. He ran to the street and tried to play hockey by himself.
+
+But the street was not a good place to play hockey. There were cars and bikes and people. Ben did not see the big car that was coming fast. The car honked loudly and Ben was frightened. He dropped the hockey stick and ball and ran back to the yard.
+
+Tom saw what happened and ran after Ben. He was mad that Ben took his hockey stick and ball, but he was also worried that Ben was hurt. He hugged Ben and said, "Are you okay? That was very dangerous. You could have been hit by the car."
+
+Ben was sorry that he took Tom's hockey stick and ball. He was also sorry that he scared Tom. He said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I just wanted to play hockey with you. Please, can we play together?"
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Okay, Ben. We can play hockey together. But not in the street. In the yard, where it is safe. And you have to use your own hockey stick and ball, not mine. Deal?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Deal. Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother."
+
+They went to the yard and played hockey together. They had fun and they were careful. They were happy.
+Sam liked to help his grandma. She was elderly and sometimes needed help with things. One day, she asked Sam to help her find her phone. She said she lost it in the house and could not call her friend.
+
+Sam was good at solving problems. He looked around the living room, the kitchen, and the bedroom. He did not see the phone. He asked his grandma where she last used it. She said she used it in the garden to take a picture of a pretty flower.
+
+Sam ran to the garden. He saw many flowers, but no phone. He wondered where it could be. He looked under the bushes, behind the pots, and in the birdhouse. He did not see the phone. He felt sad. He wanted to help his grandma.
+
+Then he heard a buzzing sound. He followed the sound to a big tree. He saw a hole in the trunk. He peeked inside. He saw the phone! It was stuck in the hole. He reached in and pulled it out. He was happy. He solved the problem.
+
+He ran back to his grandma. He gave her the phone. She was happy too. She thanked him and hugged him. She said he was a smart and kind boy. She called her friend and showed her the picture of the flower. Sam smiled. He liked to help his grandma.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big green frog near the pond. The frog is sitting on a yellow leaf.
+
+Lily and Ben stare at the frog. They want to touch it, but they are scared. The frog stares back at them. It opens its mouth and makes a loud sound. "Ribbit!"
+
+Lily and Ben laugh. They think the frog is funny. They move closer to the leaf. The frog jumps into the water. Lily and Ben are sad. They want the frog to come back.
+
+They wait for a while, but the frog does not come back. They see other things in the pond. They see fish, ducks, and bugs. They forget about the frog. They have fun in the park.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park when it started to rain. They ran to the big tree to stay dry, but the rain was too heavy and they got wet.
+
+"Let's go to the shelter!" Ben said. He pointed to the small house near the swings, where the park workers kept their tools and things. "It has a roof and a door and we can be warm and dry there."
+
+But Lila did not want to go. She liked the big tree and she was not afraid of the rain. She was stubborn and said no.
+
+"I want to stay here!" she said. "The tree is my friend and it protects me. The shelter is dark and scary and it has spiders and rats. I don't like it there."
+
+Ben tried to make her change her mind. He said the tree was not a good friend, because it let the rain fall on them. He said the shelter was not dark and scary, because it had a window and a light. He said there were no spiders and rats, because the park workers cleaned it every day. He insisted that they should go, because they would catch a cold if they stayed wet.
+
+But Lila did not listen. She shook her head and hugged the tree. She said she was fine and she did not care about the cold. She insisted that they should stay, because the tree was the best place in the park.
+
+They argued and argued, until they heard a loud noise. It was thunder, and it made them both jump. Then they saw a bright flash. It was lightning, and it struck the big tree. The tree cracked and fell, and Lila and Ben screamed.
+
+They ran away from the tree, and saw that it was on fire. They were scared and sad, and they wished they had listened to Ben. They ran to the shelter, and knocked on the door. The park worker opened it, and let them in. He gave them towels and blankets, and made them hot chocolate. He said they were lucky, and they should always be careful in a storm.
+
+Lila and Ben nodded, and thanked him. They looked at each other, and said they were sorry. They hugged, and promised to be less stubborn and more smart. They learned their lesson, and they never argued about the shelter again.
+Lila was a princess who had to marry a prince she did not like. She felt troubled and sad. She did not want to wear a white dress and a veil. She wanted to wear a blue dress and a hat.
+
+On the day of the wedding, she ran away from the castle. She found a horse and rode away. She rode to the forest, where she saw a boy. He was kneeling by a stream. He had a fishing rod and a basket. He looked happy and kind.
+
+Lila got off the horse and walked to the boy. She said hello and asked his name. He said his name was Tom and asked her name. She said her name was Lila and asked if she could fish with him. He said yes and gave her a rod.
+
+They fished and talked for a long time. They caught some fish and put them in the basket. They ate some bread and cheese and shared some jokes. They laughed and smiled. Lila felt happy and free. She forgot about the prince and the veil.
+
+She liked Tom and he liked her. They decided to be friends and stay in the forest. They made a hut and a fire. They lived happily ever after.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the garden. She liked to dig and water and watch the plants grow. She liked to pick the radishes when they were big and red. She liked to eat them with salt and butter.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big radish in the corner of the garden. She wanted to pick it and eat it. She ran to the radish and pulled it hard. But the radish did not come out. It was stuck in the ground. Lily pulled harder and harder. She did not see the hose behind her.
+
+The hose was on and the water was spraying. It sprayed Lily and the radish and the garden. It made a big puddle and a big mess. Lily got wet and muddy. The radish got wet and muddy. The garden got wet and muddy.
+
+Lily's mom heard Lily cry. She came to the garden and saw the mess. She turned off the hose and picked up Lily. She hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. We can clean up the mess and wash the radish. Do you still want to eat it?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, mom. I want to eat the radish. I like radishes. They are yummy. But I miss the hose. It was fun."
+Anna loved to play dress-up with her clothes. She had a big wardrobe full of dresses, skirts, hats, and shoes. She liked to mix and match them and display her outfits to her family and friends.
+
+One day, she invited her friend Lily to play with her. Lily was very intelligent and liked to read books and learn new things. She also liked to dress up, but she did not have many clothes at home.
+
+Anna showed Lily her wardrobe and said, "Look at all my clothes! I have so many and they are so pretty. You can choose one to wear, but only one. I want to wear the rest."
+
+Lily felt sad and said, "But Anna, that is not fair. You have so many clothes and I have so few. Can we not share and swap and have more fun?"
+
+Anna shook her head and said, "No, these are my clothes and I want to display them. You can only have one."
+
+Lily picked a simple dress and put it on. She did not feel happy. She looked at Anna, who was wearing a fancy dress, a hat, a scarf, and a necklace. She looked like a clown.
+
+Anna said, "Now let's go and show our outfits to your mom and dad. They will see how beautiful I am and how plain you are."
+
+Lily nodded and followed Anna. She hoped that Anna would learn a lesson.
+
+They went to the living room, where Lily's mom and dad were reading books. They looked up and saw the girls.
+
+Lily's mom smiled and said, "Hello, Anna and Lily. You look very nice today. What are you playing?"
+
+Anna said, "We are playing dress-up. Look at my clothes. They are so pretty and colorful. I have so many and I display them. Lily only has one dress and it is boring."
+
+Lily's dad frowned and said, "Anna, that is not a nice thing to say. Clothes are not the most important thing in life. They do not make you more beautiful or better than anyone else. What matters is what is inside your heart and your mind. Lily is very intelligent and kind. She likes to read books and learn new things. She shares and helps others. She is beautiful in her own way. You should not be proud and greedy. You should be humble and generous. You should share your clothes and your friendship with Lily. That is the moral value of playing dress-up."
+
+Anna felt ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. You are right. We should share and swap and have more fun. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Of course, Anna. We can still be friends. And we can still play dress-up. But let's try different clothes and see what suits us best. Maybe we can even make our own clothes with some fabric and scissors and glue. That would be more creative and fun."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "That sounds like a great idea, Lily. You are very intelligent and kind. And you are beautiful in your own way. Thank you for teaching me a lesson."
+
+Lily's mom and dad hugged the girls and said, "We are proud of you both. You have learned a valuable lesson today. Now go and have fun with your clothes and your imagination."
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Lily says.
+
+"OK!" Tom says.
+
+They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They have fun.
+
+But then they see a big dog. The dog is not nice. The dog is angry. The dog barks. The dog runs to them.
+
+"Help!" Lily shouts.
+
+"Help!" Tom shouts.
+
+They are scared. They are in danger.
+
+A man hears them. The man is the dog's owner. The man runs to the dog. The man calls the dog.
+
+"Rex, stop! Come here!" the man says.
+
+The dog listens. The dog stops. The dog goes to the man. The man puts a leash on the dog.
+
+"I'm sorry. He is not dangerous. He just wants to play." the man says.
+
+But Lily and Tom do not believe him. They do not like the dog. They do not want to play with the dog.
+
+They run away from the dog. They run to their moms. Their moms hug them. Their moms love them.
+
+They are safe. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. But today they have a quarrel. Lily wants to play with the pink car, and Ben wants to play with the blue car. They both say, "It is mine!"
+
+They pull and tug at the cars. They shout and cry. They are not happy. They are uncomfortable.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lily and Ben with the cars. She says, "Stop! You are not being nice. You have to share. There are many toys to play with. Why don't you try something else?"
+
+She gives them a big box. Inside the box, there are many things. There are hats and scarves and glasses and gloves. There are books and puzzles and crayons and stickers. There are balls and blocks and trains and planes.
+
+Lily and Ben forget about the cars. They look at the box. They say, "Wow! This is fun!" They start to play with the things in the box. They make funny faces and noises. They laugh and giggle. They are happy. They are comfortable.
+
+They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. We are sorry for the quarrel. We are friends again."
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "You are welcome, my loves. I am glad you are friends again. You can play with the cars later, if you want. But remember to share and be kind. That is the most important thing."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and smile. They play with the box. They have a good time. They have a nice event.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But they do not like to share. Sometimes they fight over the same toy.
+
+One day, they find a soft bear in their closet. It is brown and fuzzy. It has a red bow on its neck. Lily and Ben both want the bear.
+
+"Give me the bear!" Lily says. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben says. "I saw it first!"
+
+They pull the bear from each other. The bear makes a sad noise.
+
+"Stop it!" Mom says. She comes into the room. "You are hurting the bear. And you are making a mess. It is time to clean up."
+
+Lily and Ben do not want to clean up. They want to keep the bear.
+
+"Please, Mom," Lily says. "Can we have the bear for a little more time?"
+
+"Yeah, Mom," Ben says. "We love the bear. We will be nice to it."
+
+Mom shakes her head. "No, you have to share the bear. And you have to take turns. Lily, you can have the bear for five minutes. Then you have to give it to Ben. Ben, you can have the bear for five minutes. Then you have to give it back to Lily. And you have to clean up your toys while you wait. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They do not like Mom's rule. But they do not want to make Mom angry. They want to play with the bear.
+
+"OK, Mom," Lily says. She takes the bear and hugs it. "I will go first."
+
+"OK, Mom," Ben says. He looks at the bear and waits. "But I will go next."
+
+Mom smiles. She hopes they will learn to share. She sets a timer for five minutes. She leaves the room.
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They look at the bear. They look at the timer. They have an idea.
+
+"Hey, Lily," Ben says. "Do you want to play with the bear together?"
+
+"Hey, Ben," Lily says. "Do you want to be friends with the bear?"
+
+They smile. They agree. They put the bear in the middle of the floor. They sit around it. They make up a story about the bear. They give the bear a name. They laugh and have fun.
+
+They forget about the timer. They forget about the fight. They share the bear. They are happy.

+Anna and Ben are surprised. They are not happy. They say, "No, baby, no! That is not for you! That is our game! Give us back the purple dinosaur!"
+
+The baby does not understand. The baby smiles. The baby likes the purple dinosaur. The baby crawls away with the purple dinosaur. The baby is happy.

+
+One day, Sara and Tom see a big red ball at the toy stall. They both want the ball. They run to the stall and grab the ball at the same time. They pull and pull, but the ball does not come. They start to yell and cry.
+
+The toy seller is not happy. He says, "Stop! Stop! You are making a lot of noise. You are scaring the other people. You cannot have the ball if you fight. You have to share or leave."
+
+Sara and Tom look at each other. They feel sorry. They do not want to fight. They do not want to scare the other people. They do not want to make the toy seller unhappy. They let go of the ball and say, "Sorry. Sorry. We will share."

+
+Then, he saw a lady with a red coat and a hat. She was nice and kind. She saw Sam crying and asked him what was wrong. Sam told her he lost his dog and he was afraid of thunder.
+
+The lady said, "Don't worry, I will help you find your dog. I have a big umbrella and a flashlight. We can look for him together. You can hold my hand and I will lead you."
+
+Sam felt better. He took the lady's hand and followed her. They walked around the park and looked for Spot. The lady shone the flashlight under the benches and the trees.
+
+Soon, they found Spot. He was still hiding under a bench, but he was happy to see Sam and the lady. He wagged his tail and licked their faces.
+
+Sam hugged Spot and said, "I'm sorry I lost you, Spot. You are my best friend. I love you."

+
+Ben hugs Lily and helps her to the bench. He gets a band-aid from his backpack and puts it on her hand. He says sorry to Lily.
+

+
+Sam and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said that they were sorry. They said that they wanted to say sorry to the big kangaroo and the baby kangaroo too. Mom and Dad said that they could not do that. They said that the big kangaroo and the baby kangaroo were gone. They said that they should learn from their mistake.

+
+Lily saw that Tom was sad. She wanted to help him. She had an idea.
+
+"Maybe you can turn the blocks and make a circle," she said.
+
+"Turn the blocks? How?" Tom asked.
+
+Lily took one of Tom's square blocks and showed him. She turned it sideways, so it looked like a diamond.

+They look closer and see that the object has a collar and a tag. It says "Misty" and has a phone number.
+
+"It is not a mouse. It is a dog!" Sara says.
+
+"A dog? But it is so dirty and smelly," Tom says.
+
+They decide to call the phone number and find out who owns the dog. A lady answers and says that Misty is her dog and that she ran away from home. She is very happy that Sara and Tom found her and asks them to wait for her.
+
+While they wait, Sara and Tom feel sorry for Misty. They think that she must be cold and hungry and scared. They decide to bathe her and give her some water and food.

+
+Ben runs to Anna. He sees her hand. It has blood. He feels sorry for Anna. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I tried to warn you. The rose has thorns. They are sharp. They can make you bleed. Here, let me help you."
+
+Ben takes Anna's hand. He wraps it with his scarf. He says, "Let's go to the nurse. She can make your hand better. Then we can play again. But next time, let's not pick the roses. Let's just look at them. They are pretty, but they are not toys."

But you have to eat the spinach and say thank you." Lily and Ben eat the spinach and say thank you. They don't like it, but they do it. Mom says, "Good job. Now you can play with the helicopter."

+Lily liked to pick things from the attic. She found old toys, books, and clothes there. She thought they were fun and different. She did not ask her mom or dad if she could go to the attic. She was not allowed to go there, but she did not care.
+
+One day, she saw a big box in the attic. She wanted to pick what was inside. She opened the box and saw a shiny thing. It looked like a star. She reached for it, but it was very hot. It burned her hand and made a loud noise. She screamed and dropped it.
+
+The shiny thing was a firework. It lit up and flew out of the box. It hit the roof and made a hole. It started a fire in the attic. Lily was scared and ran down the stairs. She smelled smoke and saw flames. She cried and called for her mom and dad.
+
+Her mom and dad heard her and came to the attic. They saw the fire and the hole. They were angry and sad. They grabbed Lily and ran out of the house. They called the firemen to help them. The firemen came and put out the fire, but it was too late. The house was ruined.
+
+Lily learned a hard lesson. She should not pick things from the attic. She should not do things she was not allowed to do. She should listen to her mom and dad. They knew what was best for her. She was sorry for what she did, but she could not fix it. She lost her home and her things because she was not careful.
+Tim likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them race and crash on the floor. Sometimes he makes noises like vroom and honk.
+
+One day, Tim finds a big tire in the garage. He thinks it is a fun toy. He rolls it around and puts his cars inside. He pretends the tire is a tunnel or a hill or a wheel. He has a lot of fun with the tire.
+
+But then, it starts to rain. Tim hears the raindrops on the roof. He looks out the window and sees the water pour from the sky. He wants to go outside and play in the puddles. He puts on his boots and his coat and his hat. He grabs his tire and his cars and runs outside.
+
+He finds a big puddle in the yard. He puts his tire in the puddle and watches it fill with water. He thinks it is a pool or a lake or a sea. He puts his cars in the tire and makes them swim and splash. He laughs and smiles and has more fun.
+
+But then, his mom calls him. She says it is time to come inside and have lunch. Tim says okay and picks up his tire and his cars. He is wet and muddy and happy. He thinks the tire is a normal toy. He likes to play with it in the rain and in the sun. He says thank you to the tire and gives it a hug. He goes inside with his mom and has lunch. He tells her about his tire and his cars and his fun. She listens and smiles and says she loves him. He says he loves her too. He is a normal boy. He likes to play and have fun.
+One day, a boy and a girl were playing in the park. They had a stick and a scarf. They pretended the stick was a sword and the scarf was a cape. They were heroes who fought bad guys.
+
+"Look, there is a dragon!" the boy said, pointing at a big slide. "We have to stop him!"
+
+"OK, let's go!" the girl said, following the boy. They ran to the slide and climbed up. The boy waved his stick and shouted, "Dragon, surrender! We have magic!"
+
+The girl threw her scarf in the air and said, "Yes, we have good magic! You can't hurt us!"
+
+But the dragon did not surrender. It was not a real dragon. It was a slide. It did not talk or move. It just stayed there.
+
+The boy and the girl looked at each other. They felt silly. They laughed.
+
+"Maybe the dragon is sleeping," the boy said.
+
+"Maybe he is friendly," the girl said.
+
+They decided to slide down the dragon's back. They had fun. They were still heroes. They had magic.
+Sara and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their snacks. One day, Sara brought some jelly for Ben. She said, "This is my favorite jelly. It is red and sweet and wobbly. Do you want some?" Ben nodded and smiled. He loved jelly too.
+
+Sara opened the jar and took out a big spoonful of jelly. She was about to give it to Ben, when a dog ran by and bumped into her. Sara was clumsy and dropped the spoon. The jelly fell on the ground and splattered everywhere. Sara and Ben were sad. The dog ran away, wagging its tail.
+
+Sara said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I ruined the jelly. I wanted to share it with you." Ben said, "It's okay, Sara. It was an accident. You are still my best friend." Sara hugged Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. I promise I will bring you more jelly tomorrow." Ben said, "I promise I will bring you something too. Maybe some cookies or crackers or cheese." They smiled and held hands. They went to play on the swings and forgot about the jelly. They were happy.
+Sara likes to test new things. She likes to see what happens when she mixes different things together. One day, she finds a big pot in the kitchen. She thinks it is a good thing to test.
+
+She puts the pot on the floor and runs to her room. She brings back many colorful things. She has crayons, balls, blocks, and dolls. She puts them all in the pot. She wants to see what they will make.
+
+She stirs the pot with a big spoon. She makes a loud noise. She says, "I am making a soup of colors!" She is very happy.
+
+But then, her mom comes in. She sees the mess on the floor. She sees the pot full of things. She is not happy. She says, "Sara, what are you doing? You are not testing, you are making a mess. You have to clean up now."
+
+Sara is sad. She likes her soup of colors. She does not want to clean up. She says, "But mom, I am testing. I am making something new. Can I keep it?"
+
+Her mom shakes her head. She says, "No, Sara, you cannot keep it. You have to put everything back where it belongs. You can test other things, but not with the pot and the colorful things. Those are not for testing."
+
+Sara sighs. She knows her mom is right. She starts to take out the things from the pot. She puts them back in her room. She says, "Sorry, mom. I will test other things next time."
+
+Her mom smiles. She says, "It's okay, Sara. I know you are curious. But you have to be careful and respectful. Testing is good, but not with everything. Some things are for playing, some things are for cooking, and some things are for learning. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara nods. She says, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will test better next time." She hugs her mom. She says, "I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom hugs her back. She says, "I love you too, Sara."
+Lily liked to ride her motorcycle. It was red and shiny and made a loud noise. She wore a helmet and gloves to be safe. One day, she saw a cat on the road. It was scared and ran away from a big dog. Lily wanted to help the cat, but she did not see a rock in front of her. She hit the rock and fell off her motorcycle. She was hurt and cried.
+
+Sam was Lily's friend. He was playing with his ball in the park. He heard Lily cry and ran to her. He saw her motorcycle on the ground and her knee bleeding. He felt sorry for her and wanted to help her. He got a band-aid from his backpack and put it on her knee. He hugged her and said, "Don't cry, Lily. It will be okay. I will help you get your motorcycle back."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. You helped me a lot." She got up and took Sam's hand. They walked to her motorcycle and lifted it up. It was not broken, just dirty. They wiped it with a cloth and checked the wheels. They were still working. Lily said, "Let's go find the cat. Maybe it is still scared and needs our help." Sam nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." They got on the motorcycle and rode away. They were happy and brave. They liked to help.
+Tommy was a little boy who liked to demand things. He always wanted to have his way, and he did not like to share or wait. One night, he had a dream that he was in a big castle with many toys and candies. He was very happy and he played with everything he wanted.
+
+But then, he heard a loud knock on the door. He opened it and saw a big dragon with red eyes and sharp teeth. The dragon was angry and said, "This is my castle, and these are my toys and candies. You have to give them back to me, or I will eat you!"
+
+Tommy was very scared and he tried to run away, but the dragon was faster and blocked his way. Tommy cried and said, "Please, don't eat me! I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your castle. I just wanted to have fun."
+
+The dragon looked at Tommy and said, "Why did you take my things without asking? Don't you know that it is not nice to demand things that are not yours? You have to learn to share and wait, and to be kind to others."
+
+Tommy felt ashamed and said, "You are right, dragon. I was wrong to demand things that are not mine. I will share and wait, and be kind to others. Can you please forgive me?"
+
+The dragon smiled and said, "Yes, I can forgive you, Tommy. But you have to promise me that you will change your behavior. And you have to wake up now, because this is only a dream."
+
+Tommy nodded and said, "I promise, dragon. Thank you for teaching me a lesson. And thank you for not eating me. Goodbye, dragon."
+
+Tommy woke up and saw that it was morning. He rubbed his eyes and remembered his dream. He felt sorry for being so demanding, and he decided to be a better boy. He got up and went to his mom and dad, and gave them a big hug. He said, "I love you, mom and dad. I had a clear dream that taught me to be nice. Can we have breakfast together?"
+
+Mom and dad were surprised and happy. They hugged Tommy back and said, "We love you too, Tommy. We are glad that you had a clear dream that taught you to be nice. Yes, we can have breakfast together. And maybe later, you can play with your friends and share your toys with them."
+
+Tommy smiled and said, "Yes, mom and dad. I will play with my friends and share my toys with them. And I will not demand things that are not mine. I will be a good boy from now on."
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to look for animals and flowers. They saw a big mushroom. It was red and white and had spots. Anna wanted to touch it, but Ben said no.
+
+"That mushroom is bad," he said. "It can make you sick. We have to pass it and find something else."
+
+Anna was sad. She liked the mushroom. It was pretty and bright. She did not want to pass it. She wanted to pick it and take it home. She did not listen to Ben. She ran to the mushroom and pulled it out of the ground.
+
+Ben saw what Anna did. He was scared. He ran after her and tried to take the mushroom away. But Anna held it tight. She did not want to give it to Ben. She wanted to keep it.
+
+They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the sky getting dark. They did not hear the thunder. They did not feel the rain. They only cared about the mushroom.
+
+Soon, the forest was gloomy and wet. The rain was cold and heavy. Anna and Ben were soaked and shivering. They stopped fighting. They looked around. They did not know where they were. They were lost.
+
+They wished they had listened to Ben. They wished they had passed the mushroom. They wished they had stayed together. They wished they could find their way home. They hugged each other and cried. They hoped someone would find them soon.
+Lily liked to wake up early and look out of her window. She saw the street with cars and people and dogs. She saw the sun and the sky and the birds. She liked to make up stories about what they were doing and where they were going.
+
+One day, she woke up and saw something different. The street was white and quiet. There was no sun and no sky and no birds. There was only snow. Thick snow that covered everything. Lily had never seen snow before. She wondered what it was and how it felt.
+
+She ran to her mom and dad and asked them to take her outside. They smiled and put on their coats and hats and gloves and boots. They took Lily outside and showed her how to make a snowman and a snow angel and a snowball. Lily had so much fun. She laughed and played and felt the snow. It was cold and soft and wet.
+
+She also saw other kids and their moms and dads and dogs. They were also playing in the snow. They said hello and shared their snow toys. Lily made new friends and had more fun. She liked the snow and the street and the people and the dogs.
+
+She was happy and warm inside, even though it was cold and white outside. She learned something new and had a great day. She thanked her mom and dad and gave them a hug and a kiss. She said she loved them and the snow and the street. She said she wanted to wake up and see it again.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big cliff near their house. They wanted to see what was on the other side of the cliff, so they climbed up and looked down. They saw a big lake with many fish and birds.
+
+"Wow, this is so pretty!" Tim said. "Let's go down and swim in the lake!"
+
+But Sam was scared. He did not like heights and he did not know how to swim. He said, "No, Tim, this is too dangerous. We should go back to our house and tell Mom and Dad what we saw."
+
+Tim was not scared. He was proud and curious. He said, "No, Sam, you are a baby. I want to have fun and explore. I will mail you a letter from the other side of the cliff and tell you how great it is. Bye!"
+
+Tim did not listen to Sam and he climbed down the cliff. He was not careful and he slipped on a rock. He fell into the lake and he could not breathe. He cried for help, but no one heard him.
+
+Sam was sad and worried. He ran back to their house and told Mom and Dad what happened. They called the police and the firemen and they went to the cliff. They saw Tim in the water and they threw him a rope. They pulled him out and they gave him a blanket and a hug. Tim was cold and wet and scared. He said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was wrong and you were right. I should have listened to you and stayed with you. You are a good brother and I love you."
+
+Sam said, "I love you too, Tim. I'm glad you are safe. You are a brave brother and I'm proud of you."
+
+Mom and Dad said, "We are happy you are both okay. You learned a hard lesson today. Sometimes, being humble and careful is better than being proud and curious. You should always respect each other and the nature. And you should never mail letters from cliffs. That's silly."
+
+Tim and Sam nodded and they hugged Mom and Dad. They went home and they played with their toys. They never went to the cliff again. They were happy and humble brothers.
+Tom and Lily were excited to go to the jungle with their dad. He was a big animal doctor who helped sick animals. They wanted to see monkeys, birds, and snakes.
+
+They got on a big plane and flew for a long time. Then they got on a small plane and flew some more. Then they got on a big truck and drove on a bumpy road. They saw many trees and plants and flowers. They heard many noises and smells.
+
+They arrived at a small house in the jungle. Their dad said, "This is where we will stay. It is safe and cozy. But we have to be careful and quiet. There are many animals around us. Some are friendly, some are not."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They followed their dad inside. He showed them their beds and their toys. He said, "You can play here while I go to work. I will be back soon. Do not go outside without me. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily said, "Yes, dad. We understand." They hugged him and said, "We love you. Have fun at work."
+
+Their dad smiled and said, "I love you too. Have fun at play." He left with his bag and his hat.
+
+Tom and Lily looked around. They saw many books and pictures and puzzles. They decided to play with them. They had fun. They learned many things.
+
+But after a while, they got bored. They wanted to see the jungle. They wanted to see the animals. They looked out the window. They saw a bright sun and a blue sky. They saw a green jungle and a brown path.
+
+They said to each other, "Let's go outside. Just for a little bit. Dad will not know. We will be careful and quiet. We will not go far. We will be back soon."
+
+They put on their shoes and their hats. They opened the door and stepped outside. They felt a warm breeze and a fresh air. They felt excited and curious.
+
+They walked on the brown path. They saw many things. They saw a big spider and a small frog. They saw a red flower and a yellow fruit. They saw a black bird and a white butterfly.
+
+They said to each other, "Wow! Look at that! How cool! How pretty!"
+
+They walked some more. They saw more things. They saw a long snake and a short lizard. They saw a pink pig and a gray elephant. They saw a brown monkey and a green parrot.
+
+They said to each other, "Wow! Look at that! How scary! How funny!"
+
+They walked some more. They saw a big river and a small bridge. They saw a clear water and a muddy bank. They saw a shiny fish and a hairy otter.
+
+They said to each other, "Wow! Look at that! How wet! How cute!"
+
+They walked some more. They saw a dark cave and a bright fire. They saw a smoke and a smell. They saw a man and a woman. They saw a pot and a spoon.
+
+They said to each other, "Wow! Look at that! How strange! How yummy!"
+
+They walked some more. They saw a big lion and a small cub. They saw a roar and a growl. They saw a teeth and a claw.
+
+They said to each other, "Wow! Look at that! How big! How scary!"
+
+They stopped. They felt afraid and sorry. They said to each other, "Let's go back. Now. Fast. Dad will be mad. We will be in trouble."
+
+They turned around and ran. They ran on the brown path. They ran past the fire and the cave. They ran past the river and the bridge. They ran past the monkey and the parrot. They ran past the pig and the elephant. They ran past the spider and the frog.
+
+They ran and ran and ran. They felt tired and thirsty. They felt lost and scared. They said to each other, "Where are we? Where is the house? Where is dad?"
+
+They looked around. They saw nothing. They heard nothing. They smelled nothing.
+
+They felt alone and cold. They felt a shiver and a tear. They said to each other, "We are sorry. We are scared. We want dad."
+
+They hugged each other and cried. They cried and cried and cried. They hoped dad would find them. They hoped dad would love them. They hoped dad would forgive them.
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play in the park. They like to roll down the hill. They laugh and have fun.
+
+One day, Mom takes them to the park. She says they can have ice-cream after they play. Tim and Kim are happy. They run to the hill and start to roll.
+
+But Tim rolls too fast. He bumps into a big rock. He hurts his head. He cries. Mom runs to him and hugs him. She says they have to go to the doctor.
+
+Kim is sad. She wants to roll more. She wants to have ice-cream. She says it is not fair. She says Tim is bad. She is angry.
+
+Mom says they have to go now. She says they can have ice-cream another day. She says Kim has to be nice to Tim. She says Tim is hurt.
+
+Kim does not listen. She kicks Tim. She says he is stupid. She says he ruined everything. She says she hates him.
+
+Mom is shocked. She scolds Kim. She says she is naughty. She says she has to say sorry to Tim. She says she has no ice-cream.
+
+Kim does not say sorry. She pouts. She says she does not care. She says she does not want ice-cream. She says she does not want Tim.
+
+Mom is sad. She takes Tim and Kim to the car. She drives to the doctor. She hopes Tim will be okay. She hopes Kim will be sorry. She hopes they will be friends again. She hopes they will be happy.
+Sara loves to visit her grandma. Grandma has a big house with many rooms and a garden. Sara likes to play with the flowers and the birds in the garden. She also likes to cuddle with Grandma's cat, Fluffy. Fluffy has soft fur and a long tail. Fluffy likes to purr when Sara strokes her fur.
+
+One day, Sara and her mom go to visit Grandma. But when they get there, they see that Fluffy is not in the garden. Sara asks Grandma, "Where is Fluffy?" Grandma says, "Fluffy is at the vet. She is sick and needs some medicine." Sara feels sad. She wants to see Fluffy and make her feel better.
+
+Grandma says, "Don't worry, Sara. Fluffy will be back soon. She is a strong cat and the vet is helping her. The vet is a person who knows a lot about animals and how to help them. The vet is very important for Fluffy." Sara nods. She understands. She says, "I hope Fluffy gets well soon. I love Fluffy. She is my friend." Grandma smiles and hugs Sara. She says, "I love Fluffy too. And I love you, Sara. You are my friend too." Sara smiles and hugs Grandma back. She says, "I love you, Grandma. You are my friend too."
+Lily liked to play outside with her dog, Spot. They ran and jumped and had fun. But sometimes, the sky was dark and wet. Then, Lily's mom said, "No, you cannot go outside. It is raining. You will get sick." Lily was sad. She wanted to play with Spot.
+
+One day, the sky was dark and wet again. Lily looked out the window and saw the rain. She sighed and went to her room. She played with her toys, but she was bored. She missed Spot. She wished the rain would stop.
+
+Then, she heard a bark. She ran to the window and saw Spot. He was outside, in the rain. He looked happy. He wagged his tail and barked again. Lily smiled. She put on her boots and coat. She opened the door and ran to Spot. She hugged him and said, "Hi, Spot! I missed you!"
+
+Lily's mom saw her and said, "Lily, what are you doing? You cannot play in the rain. Come inside, now!" Lily looked at her mom and said, "But, mom, look! There is a rainbow!" Lily pointed to the sky. There was a big, bright rainbow. It had many colors. It was beautiful.
+
+Lily's mom looked at the rainbow and smiled. She said, "You are right, Lily. There is a rainbow. It is very pretty. It was hidden by the rain. But now, we can see it." She hugged Lily and said, "Okay, you can play with Spot for a little while. But only for a little while. Then, you have to come inside and dry off. Do you understand?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. Thank you, mom. You are the best, mom." She kissed her mom and said, "I love you, mom." She took Spot's paw and said, "Come on, Spot. Let's play under the rainbow."

+Sam was a fierce boy who liked to grab things from other kids. He did not like to share or say sorry. He grabbed toys, snacks, books and even hats from his friends at school. The other kids were sad and scared of Sam. They did not want to play with him.
+
+One day, Sam saw a big red ball in the playground. He wanted to play with it, but it belonged to Lily. Lily was a kind girl who always shared her things. She was playing with the ball with some other kids. Sam ran to them and grabbed the ball from Lily. He shouted, "This is mine now!"
+
+Lily was very upset. She tried to get the ball back, but Sam was too strong. He pushed her away and ran to the other side of the playground. He laughed and kicked the ball hard. He did not see the big fence behind him. The ball bounced off the fence and hit Sam on the head. He fell down and cried.
+
+The other kids heard Sam's cry and ran to him. They saw him lying on the ground with a bump on his head. They felt sorry for him, even though he was mean to them. Lily was the first one to reach him. She picked up the ball and gave it to Sam. She said, "Here, you can have the ball. Are you okay?"
+
+Sam was surprised. He expected Lily to be angry or to take the ball back. He did not understand why she was nice to him. He looked at the ball and then at Lily. He felt ashamed of what he did. He said, "No, you can have the ball. It is yours. I am sorry for grabbing it. I am sorry for being fierce. Will you be my friend?"
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, I will be your friend. But you have to be nice to other kids too. Sharing is caring. And saying sorry is brave."
+
+Sam learned his lesson. He said sorry to all the kids he grabbed things from. He started to share and play nicely with them. He became a good friend to Lily and everyone else. He was not fierce anymore. He was happy.
+
+The moral of the story is: Being fierce and grabbing things from others will only make you lonely and hurt. Being kind and sharing things with others will make you happy and loved.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the yard. They see a big pile of junk. There are old boxes, papers, cans and clothes. Lily has an idea.
+
+"Let's make a fort with the junk!" she says to Ben.
+
+"OK!" Ben says. They run to the pile and start to pick up things.
+
+Lily finds a purple shirt. She likes purple. She folds the shirt and puts it on her head. She pretends it is a crown.
+
+"I am the queen of the junk fort!" she says.
+
+Ben finds a big box. He folds the flaps and makes a door. He crawls inside the box.
+
+"I am the king of the junk fort!" he says.
+
+They laugh and play in their fort. They have fun with the junk. They do not see Mom coming.
+
+"Hey, you two!" Mom says. "What are you doing with all this junk?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at Mom. They smile.
+
+"We are making a fort, Mom!" they say.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She is not angry. She is amused.
+
+"Well, it is a very creative fort," she says. "But we have to clean up this junk. It is time for lunch."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They take off their crowns and come out of their box. They help Mom put the junk in the trash.
+
+They are hungry. They go inside and wash their hands. They sit at the table and eat their sandwiches. They tell Mom about their fort.
+
+Mom listens and smiles. She is proud of her kids. They have big imaginations. They can make fun with anything. Even junk.
+Lily was a happy girl who liked to act. She had a big box of old clothes and shoes that she used to dress up and pretend. She liked to act like a princess, a pirate, a doctor, or anything she wanted.
+
+One day, she found a shiny red shoe in the box. It was very pretty and had a bow on it. Lily put it on her foot and felt like a fairy. She said, "Look, Mommy, I'm a fairy with a magic shoe!"
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "You are a very cute fairy, Lily. But do you know where that shoe came from? It was Grandma's shoe. She gave it to me when I was a little girl like you. She said it was a special shoe that could make wishes come true."
+
+Lily's eyes grew wide. She said, "Really? Can I make a wish with the shoe?"
+
+Mommy nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful what you wish for. Sometimes, wishes can have unexpected consequences. And you can only make one wish per day."
+
+Lily thought hard. She wanted to make a good wish. She said, "I wish I could fly like a fairy!"
+
+Suddenly, she felt a tingling in her feet. She lifted them off the ground and floated in the air. She was flying! She squealed with joy and said, "Mommy, look, I'm flying! I'm flying!"
+
+Mommy clapped and said, "Wow, Lily, you are flying! That's amazing! But be careful, don't fly too high or too far. Stay close to me."
+
+Lily nodded and flew around the room. She felt happy and free. She flew over the couch, the table, the lamp, and the window. She saw the birds and the trees outside. She wanted to fly with them. She said, "Mommy, can I fly outside? Please?"
+
+Mommy shook her head and said, "No, Lily, you can't fly outside. It's too dangerous. There are cars and people and dogs and cats. They might hurt you or take you away. You have to stay inside with me."
+
+Lily felt sad. She wanted to fly outside. She said, "But Mommy, I want to fly outside. It's so fun and beautiful. Please, Mommy, please?"
+
+Mommy said, "No, Lily, I'm sorry. You can't fly outside. You have to wait until tomorrow. Maybe your wish will wear off by then. Or maybe you can make a different wish. But for now, you have to fly inside with me."
+
+Lily pouted and said, "Fine, Mommy, fine. But I don't like it. I want to fly outside."
+
+She flew back to the box and took off the shoe. She said, "Stupid shoe. You made me fly, but you didn't let me fly outside. I don't like you anymore. I don't want you anymore."
+
+She threw the shoe back in the box and slammed the lid. She said, "I'm not a fairy anymore. I'm just a girl."
+
+She sat on the floor and crossed her arms. She felt angry and sad. She didn't know that the shoe had heard her words. And the shoe had feelings too. The shoe felt hurt and angry and sad. The shoe said, "Fine, Lily, fine. You don't like me anymore. You don't want me anymore. But you'll see. You'll see what happens when you make a bad wish. You'll see what happens when you throw away a magic shoe."
+Tim and Mia like to play in the park. They have a big red ball that they kick and throw to each other. One day, they see a big barrel near the swings. It is brown and round and has a hole on the top.
+
+"Look, a barrel!" Tim says. "Let's play with it!"
+
+"OK!" Mia says. "Maybe we can roll it or hide in it!"
+
+They run to the barrel and take turns pushing it and climbing inside. They have a lot of fun. But they are careless. They do not see the hill behind them.
+
+The barrel starts to roll down the hill. Tim is inside. He feels scared. He shouts, "Help! Help!"
+
+Mia hears him. She rushes after the barrel. She tries to stop it, but it is too fast and heavy. She falls down and scrapes her knee.
+
+The barrel rolls and rolls until it hits a tree. It makes a loud bang. Tim falls out. He is dizzy and has a bump on his head.
+
+Mia gets up and runs to him. She hugs him and says, "Are you OK, Tim? I'm sorry. I should have been more careful."
+
+Tim hugs her back and says, "It's OK, Mia. I'm sorry too. I should have listened to you. That barrel was not a good toy."

+They walk back to the swings, holding hands. They decide to play with their ball instead. They are more careful and happy.
+Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big red strawberry on a plant. They both wanted to eat it.
+
+"Me first!" Lily said. She ran to the plant and tried to pick the strawberry.
+
+"No, me first!" Tom said. He ran after Lily and pushed her away.
+
+They both pulled the strawberry hard. But the strawberry was not ready. It stayed on the plant and they fell on the ground.
+
+They looked at each other and started to cry.
+
+Mama heard them and came to the garden. She saw the strawberry and the twins.
+
+"What happened?" she asked.
+
+"We wanted the strawberry, but it did not come off," Lily said.
+
+"It is not fair, we both wanted it," Tom said.
+
+Mama sighed. She knew they were both hungry and tired.
+
+"Listen, my loves," she said. "The strawberry is not ripe yet. It needs more sun and water to grow big and sweet. If you wait a few days, it will be ready for you. Then you can share it and enjoy it together. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Tom looked at the strawberry. It was still red, but not very big.
+
+"Okay, Mama," they said. "We will wait and share."
+
+Mama smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Good. Now, let's go inside and have some milk and cookies. You have been playing hard in the garden. You need some rest."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They were not angry anymore. They followed Mama to the house.
+
+They left the strawberry on the plant. It was happy to have more time to grow. It hoped the twins would come back soon and taste how delicious it was. It was not a lazy strawberry. It was a patient strawberry.
+One day, a little boy named Ben wanted to play pirates with his sister Lily. He put on a hat and a patch and said, "I am a pirate, arrr!" Lily put on a dress and a crown and said, "I am a princess, hello!" Ben said, "I will pick you up and take you to my ship, princess!" Lily said, "No, you will not, pirate!"
+
+Ben and Lily ran around the house, pretending to chase and catch each other. They had a lot of fun, making noises and laughing. They went to the kitchen, where their mom was making cookies. She smiled and said, "What are you two doing?" Ben said, "We are playing pirates, mom!" Lily said, "We are playing princesses, mom!" Mom said, "That sounds lovely, but be careful not to break anything."
+
+Mom gave them each a cookie and said, "Why don't you play outside for a while? It is a sunny day and you can see the birds and the flowers." Ben and Lily said, "Okay, mom!" They took their cookies and went outside. They saw a big tree in the yard. Ben said, "Look, Lily, that is my ship! I will climb up and be the captain!" Lily said, "Look, Ben, that is my castle! I will stay down and be the queen!" Ben said, "Can I pick some flowers for you, queen?" Lily said, "Yes, you can, captain!"

+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Tom had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road.
+
+"Look at me, I'm so fast!" Tom said, pushing his car forward.
+
+"I'm faster than you!" Lily said, chasing him with her car.
+
+They reached the end of the rug and turned around. But Lily's car got stuck on a rubber band that was lying on the floor. She tried to pull it, but it only made the rubber band stretch more.
+
+"Help me, Tom!" Lily cried. "My car is trapped!"
+
+Tom drove his car back to Lily. He saw the rubber band and had an idea. He used his car to hook the rubber band and then reversed. The rubber band snapped and flung Lily's car into the air.
+
+"Wow!" Lily said, watching her car fly. "That was cool!"
+
+Her car landed on the couch, where their cat was sleeping. The cat woke up and saw the car. He pounced on it and started to play with it.
+
+"Hey, that's my car!" Lily said, running to the couch. "Give it back, kitty!"
+
+But the cat was too quick and graceful. He dodged Lily's hands and ran away with the car in his mouth.
+
+"Come back, kitty!" Lily shouted. "That's not your toy!"
+
+Tom laughed and followed Lily. He wanted to help her get her car back. They chased the cat around the house, having fun. They forgot about the rubber band and the race. They just wanted to play.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to run and jump and hide. Sara sees a big red tomato on a plant. She wants to pick it and eat it. She runs to the tomato and reaches for it.
+
+But she does not see a stone on the ground. She stumbles on the stone and falls. She hurts her knee and cries. The tomato falls too and rolls away.
+
+Ben hears Sara cry and runs to her. He sees her knee is brown with dirt and blood. He feels sorry for her. He says, "Sara, are you OK? I will help you."
+
+He picks up the tomato and gives it to Sara. He says, "Look, here is the tomato. It is still good. You can have it."
+
+Sara takes the tomato and smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. The tomato is yummy."

+
+She looked around. Her mom was not in the kitchen. She could take a cookie and no one would know. But then, she remembered that she was an honest girl. She never told lies or took things that were not hers. She knew that the cookies were for after lunch, not before. She decided to wait and not take a cookie.
+
+She was glad she did, because her mom came back and gave her a hug. She said, "Lily, you are such a good helper and an honest girl. I am so proud of you. You know what? You can have a cookie now, as a reward. And you can share it with your dad when he comes home. He will be so happy to see you and the lunch you helped make."

+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big maze made of green plants. They wanted to go inside and find the way out.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "It looks fun!"
+
+"OK, Ben!" Lily said. "But we have to stay together. The maze is big and we might get lost."
+
+They ran into the maze and followed the paths. They saw many different things, like flowers, bugs, and birds. They laughed and talked as they walked.
+
+But soon, they realized they did not know where they were. The paths looked the same and they could not see the exit.
+
+"Ben, I'm scared!" Lily said. "We have to find the way out!"
+
+"Don't worry, Lily!" Ben said. "We can do it! Let's go this way!"

+They turned left and walked some more. But they only found a dead end.
+
+"Ben, this is not the way!" Lily said. "We have to go back!"
+
+But when they turned around, they saw a big dog blocking the path. The dog was angry and barked loudly. It had sharp teeth and claws.
+
+"Ben, look!" Lily said. "A dog! A bad dog!"
+
+The dog saw them and ran towards them. Lily and Ben screamed and tried to run away. But they had nowhere to go. The dog was faster and caught them. It bit them and hurt them. They cried and wished they never went into the maze.
+Tim and his mom went to the big shop. They wanted to buy a new armchair for the living room. Tim saw many armchairs of different colors and shapes. He liked the red one with the soft cushions. He climbed on it and said, "Mom, this is the one we need!"

+Mom smiled and said, "It is very nice, Tim, but it is too big for our living room. We need a smaller one that fits in the corner. How about the blue one over there?"
+
+Tim looked at the blue armchair. It was smaller and had a footrest. He said, "OK, Mom, I like the blue one too. Can I sit on it?"

+
+Sam stops bouncing. He looks at his mom. He looks at his sock. He looks at his toys and books. He feels sad. He does not want to clean his room. He wants to bounce. He says, "But mom, I like to bounce. It is fun and funny. And I do not care about my sock. It is just a sock. And my toys and books are fine on the floor. They are easy to find."
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, Sam. You need to learn to be tidy and neat. Bouncing on your bed can break it. And your sock can make you sick.

+Sam sighs. He knows his mom is right. He does not want to break his bed or get sick or hurt anyone. He wants to be a good boy. He says, "Okay, mom. I will clean my room. But can I bounce later?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, Sam. You can bounce later. But only after you clean your room and put on a clean sock. And only on the trampoline in the backyard. Not on your bed. Deal?"
+
+Sam nods. He says, "Deal, mom. Thank you." He gets off his bed and picks up his filthy sock. He puts it in the hamper. He starts to pick up his toys and books. He thinks, "Maybe bouncing on the trampoline will be even more fun and funny than bouncing on my bed." He feels happy again.

+Anna and Ben shake their heads. They do not know what yield means.
+
+"Yield means to let someone else go first or have something you want," Daddy explains. "It is a nice thing to do. It shows that you care and respect each other. Can you try to yield to each other?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They want to be nice and respectful. They look at the telephone and then at each other.
+
+"Anna, you can use the telephone first," Ben says. "You can call Mommy and tell her about your doll."

+

+They say the word together. "Spell!"
+
+They hope that the word will make lunch go away. But nothing happens. The voice says again, "Lily, Tom, it is time for lunch. Come to the kitchen."
+
+Lily and Tom are confused. They do not understand why the word does not work. They look at the book again. They see that the word has more letters after it. They do not know what they mean.
