Even if it means putting yourself out for someone else in a pinch, it's always worth it in the end. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Sam. Sam had been very impatient all day. Everywhere he went, he was winking and pinching. He pinched the cook's arm as he walked past the kitchen and he winked at a dog on the street. + +One day, Sam went for a walk in the park. It was a beautiful sunny day and Sam was feeling very excited. As he walked through the park, he noticed an old man limping slowly towards him with a cane. He winked and pinched his arm as he walked past. + +The old man stopped and looked at Sam with a stern face. He asked Sam why he had pinched him. Sam was surprised and he didn't know what to say. He was too embarrassed to tell the old man that he had been winking and pinching all day. + +Suddenly, the old man smiled and winked back at Sam. He said "you have a lot of energy, but you need to learn patience. Patience is a very important virtue and it will serve you well in life". + +Sam nodded and smiled, understanding what the old man meant. From that day on, Sam was more conscious of his actions and he learned to be patient. The old man had given him the wisdom to understand that pinching and winking could be fun, but it should be used with care. +Once upon a time there were two sisters, Jane and Adelle. On a summer day, they decided to take a swim in the lake near their house. Jane wanted to go swimming, but Adelle wanted to stay at home. + +Jane suggested they take a sheet with them, since it was nice and sunny. Adelle said no. She said that it was too late and the sheet would get wet. Jane said that she would make sure it didn't get wet and Adelle agreed. + +So, the sisters took the sheet to the lake. They put it down next to the lake and started swimming, enjoying the sun and the cool water. + +Suddenly, Adelle noticed that the sheet was getting wet. She shouted to Jane, telling her that the sheet was soaking wet! Jane was horrified to see the sheet in this state! She said that she was only trying to make sure that that wouldn't happen. + +Adelle was furious. She reminded Jane that she had said she would keep the sheet from getting wet, and now they were both in trouble. Jane tried to make things right by saying that she would dry the sheet next to the fire when they got back. + +Adelle sighed and agreed. Finally, the sisters dried the sheet and went back to their house. They never suggested taking a sheet to the lake again. +Once upon a time, there was a clumsy little girl named Jane. She liked to make noise and always messed up things. One day, her mom asked her to clean up her room. But when she opened the door, the noise was too much for her mom and Jane didn’t get a chance to explain. + +Her mom was very angry and Jane felt really bad. She said she was sorry, but her mom didn't forgive her. She told Jane she was too clumsy and did not want her in the house anymore. + +Jane was sad and very scared. She cried and asked her mom to forgive her, but nothing changed. Her mom just said “no†and Jane had no choice but to leave. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there lived a frog named Flo. Flo saw a lime and wanted to take it home. Just as Flo was ready to take a bite, a voice warned her. "Don't eat that lime, Flo. It's wet and might make you sick," the voice said. Flo had never heard this voice before but decided to listen. + +But Flo was so hungry! She thought about it for a while then finally decided to take the lime anyway. As soon as she bit into it, her stomach started to ache. Flo knew something was wrong! + +The mysterious voice came back and said, "I told you not to eat that lime. You should have listened to me. Now, you have to stay away from limes forever!" Flo felt so bad for not listening to the voice. She knew she would never make this mistake again. But even though she was now warned, Flo still had to deal with the consequences of her actions. +Once upon a time, there was a little bear. He was wearing a green shirt and was always honest. One day he was walking through the forest, when he came across a lemon tree. He felt so happy that he wanted to pick a lemon from it. But every time he walked close to the tree, he started to tremble and felt scared. + +Then he heard a voice, "You can pick a lemon if you want". The little bear was so surprised that he looked around, but he couldn't see anyone. "Where are you?" he asked. + +But then he heard the voice again and it said " up here. I'm in the tree". And then he saw a squirrel, who was looking at him with kind eyes. The squirrel said " I know it feels scary, but you can trust me. I will watch over you and will make sure nothing bad happens, while you pick a lemon". + +The little bear was so happy, that he said a big thank you to the squirrel and picked a lemon from the tree. After that, he ran home with a big smile on his face. +"Mommy and Daddy were in their kitchen. They were both very busy. Mommy was stirring a pot of pasta on the stove and Daddy was chopping vegetables. + +"We need more tomatoes," said Daddy. + +"No, we don't," said Mommy.

At this, James wondered why he had to learn how to fight, but he also knew his mom was right, so he said obediently, "Yes, mom." + +On the way to the soccer field, James asked his mom why he had to learn to fight. His mom explained, "Fighting is like playing a game. You have to learn how to lose and win. But it's also important to be a good sport – no matter who wins or loses." + +At last they reached the soccer field. James nervously went inside, but eventually he started to really enjoy it.

Every day he worked hard in his barn. One day, on the way to the barn, he saw something weird. It was a sign that said: Stop!

He stopped and asked a nearby bird, "What does this mean?" + +The bird said, "That sign is telling you not to work in the barn. If you do, something bad might happen." + +So the small farmer listened to the bird, and decided not to work in the barn. He learned that day that it’s better to be safe than sorry. + +The moral of the story is that you should always listen to the advice of wise people – even if it is weird. +Once upon a time there was an old man.

They lay on the grass and looked at the clouds. + +"Look, that cloud looks like a bunny!" Anna said. + +"No, it looks like a dog!" Ben said. + +They started to argue. They both wanted to be right. + +"Give me the bag!" Ben shouted. He tried to grab the bag from Anna. + +"No, it's mine!" Anna shouted back. She held the bag tight. + +They pulled and tugged. The bag ripped. The toys and snacks fell out. + +"Oh no!" Anna and Ben said. They felt sad and sorry. + +They looked at each other. They did not want to fight. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. You can have the bag." Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. You can have the bag." Anna said. + +They hugged and smiled. They shared the bag and the toys and snacks.

Ben said. + +They were happy and friends again. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big puzzle with many pieces. They liked to make the puzzle on the floor of their room and see the picture of a farm with animals and a tractor. + +One day, Sam had a weird idea. He wanted to separate the puzzle into two parts and keep one for himself. He thought it would be more fun to have his own puzzle. He told Lily his idea, but she did not like it. She said they should share the puzzle and make it together. + +"No, I want my own puzzle!" Sam said. He grabbed half of the pieces and ran to the other side of the room. He started to make his puzzle on his bed. + +Lily was sad and angry. She tried to make her puzzle on the floor, but it was hard. She could not find the pieces she needed. She looked at Sam's puzzle and saw that he had some of her pieces. She wanted them back. + +"Sam, give me my pieces!" Lily said. She got up and walked to his bed. She reached for the pieces, but Sam pushed her away. + +"Go away, Lily! This is my puzzle!" Sam said. He held the pieces tightly. + +Lily did not go away. She pulled the pieces from Sam's hand. They both tugged and pulled, but neither of them let go. The pieces broke and flew in the air. The puzzle was ruined. + +Sam and Lily looked at the broken pieces. They felt sorry and sad. They realized their weird idea was not a good one. They wished they had not separated the puzzle. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. + +They picked up the pieces and put them in a box. They decided to make the puzzle together another day. They learned that sharing was better than separating. They were happy again. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play in the living room. But they have to mind Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad do not like them to touch some things. One thing they do not like them to touch is the ashtray. + +The ashtray is on the table. It is clear and shiny. It has some gray stuff inside. Tim and Kim do not know what it is. They think it is sand. They want to play with it. + +One day, Mom and Dad are not in the living room. Tim and Kim see the ashtray. They think it is a toy. They take it from the table. They pour the gray stuff on the floor. They make shapes with it. They have fun. + +But then Mom and Dad come back. They see the mess. They see the ashtray. They are very angry. + +"Who did this?" Mom asks. + +Tim and Kim look at each other. They are scared. They do not want to get in trouble. + +"It was not me," Tim says. + +"It was not me," Kim says. + +Mom and Dad do not believe them. They know they are lying. They make them clean the floor. They make them say sorry. They make them go to their room. + +Tim and Kim are sad. They wish they had minded Mom and Dad. They wish they had not touched the ashtray. They learn their lesson. +Tom was a boy who liked to play in the woods. He was not afraid of anything. He did not listen to his mom and dad, who told him to stay away from the dark part of the woods. They said there was a big, bad wolf there, who liked to eat little boys and girls. + +One day, Tom went to the dark part of the woods. He saw a big, black wolf. The wolf had sharp teeth and yellow eyes. The wolf said, "Hello, little boy. Do you want to play with me? I have a gift for you." Tom was curious. He wanted to see the gift. He said, "Yes, I want to play with you. What is the gift?" + +The wolf smiled. He said, "Follow me, and I will show you." He led Tom deeper into the woods, where no one could see them. Tom followed the wolf, thinking he would receive a nice gift. He did not know the wolf was clever and tricky. He did not know the wolf wanted to eat him. + +But Tom's mom and dad were looking for him. They heard his voice in the woods. They ran to find him. They saw the wolf and Tom. They shouted, "Tom, run away! The wolf is bad! He wants to hurt you!" Tom was scared. He saw the wolf's teeth and eyes. He realized the wolf lied to him. He ran to his mom and dad. They hugged him and took him home. + +Tom learned a lesson. He learned to listen to his mom and dad. He learned to stay away from the dark part of the woods. He learned to be careful of strangers who offer gifts. He learned that not everyone is nice and honest. He learned that some people are clever and mean. He was happy to be safe and loved. He said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I love you. Thank you for saving me." +Tom and Lily like to play in the old house. The old house has many rooms and things to see. Some things are scary, like the big spider webs and the dark stairs. But Tom and Lily are brave and like to explore. + +One day, they find a new room. The room has a big closet and a big mirror. Inside the closet, they see a skeleton. The skeleton is filthy and has old clothes on it. Tom and Lily are not afraid of the skeleton. They think it is funny. + +They decide to dress the skeleton with new clothes. They find some hats and scarves and shoes in the closet. They put them on the skeleton and make it look silly. They laugh and laugh at the skeleton. They say it is their new friend. + +They take the skeleton to the mirror and show it how it looks. The skeleton does not move or talk, but Tom and Lily pretend it does. They say it likes its new clothes and wants to play with them. They make up stories and games with the skeleton. + +They have so much fun with the skeleton that they forget the time. They hear their mom calling them from outside. They say goodbye to the skeleton and promise to come back soon. They run to their mom and tell her about their new friend. Their mom smiles and hugs them. She does not know about the skeleton. She thinks they have a big imagination. +Sara liked to help her mom bake. She would put on her apron and stand on a stool. Mom would let her pour the flour and the sugar and the eggs into a big bowl. Then they would use the mixer to make the batter. The mixer was loud and fast and made the batter smooth and creamy. + +One day, Sara wanted to bake a cake by herself. She waited until mom was busy in the garden. She put on her apron and climbed on the stool. She found the flour and the sugar and the eggs in the cupboard. She poured them into the big bowl. But she forgot to use the mixer. She used a spoon instead. The batter was lumpy and sticky and not normal. + +Sara put the batter in the oven and set the timer. She was proud of her cake. She went to the garden to tell mom. Mom was surprised and worried. She ran to the kitchen with Sara. They smelled something bad. They opened the oven and saw a mess. The cake was burnt and bubbly and smelled like rotten eggs. Sara started to cry. Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, honey. You tried to do something nice. But baking is not easy. You need to follow the recipe and use the right tools. The mixer belongs in the bowl, not the spoon. Next time, we'll bake together, okay?" Sara nodded and wiped her tears. She learned her lesson. She never baked alone again. +Lila and Sam were at the beach with their mom. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Lila found a big oyster shell that was shiny and smooth. She opened it and saw a pearl inside. + +"Look, Sam, I found a pearl!" she said, holding the oyster shell. + +"Wow, that's pretty!" Sam said, coming closer. "Can I see?" + +Lila nodded and gave him the oyster shell. Sam looked at the pearl and smiled. He wanted to keep it for himself. He had an idea. + +"Let's play a game," he said. "Who can balance the oyster shell on their nose the longest?" + +Lila was eager to play. She liked games. She put the oyster shell on her nose and tried to balance it. Sam did the same. They both stood still and tried not to move. + +"Who will win?" Lila asked. + +"I will," Sam said. He waited for Lila to look at him. Then he quickly took the oyster shell from his nose and ran away with it. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lila shouted. She ran after him. "Give me back my pearl!" + +Sam laughed and ran faster. He thought he was clever. But he did not see the big wave coming. The wave splashed him and made him fall. The oyster shell flew out of his hand and landed in the water. + +"Oh no!" Sam cried. He lost the pearl. He felt sorry and sad. + +Lila caught up with him and saw what happened. She felt sorry for him too. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Sam. It was just a game. We can find another pearl together." + +Sam hugged her back and said, "I'm sorry, Lila. I was mean. You are a good sister." + +They smiled and walked back to their mom. They learned to share and be kind. They had fun at the beach. +Sara was a strong girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a pink comb that she used to make their hair look pretty. She always kept her comb in her backpack, because it was her favorite toy. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and her dolls. She saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to join them, but she was afraid they would laugh at her dolls. She decided to sit on a bench and comb her dolls' hair. + +"Hi, can I play with you?" a boy asked her. He had curly hair and a big smile. He looked friendly, but Sara was shy. + +"Um, okay," Sara said. She moved over to make some space for him on the bench. + +"What are their names?" the boy asked, pointing at her dolls. + +"This is Lily, and this is Rose," Sara said. She showed him her comb. "I use this to make their hair look pretty." + +The boy nodded. He reached out to touch the comb, but Sara pulled it back. She did not want him to take it. + +"Can I see it?" the boy asked. + +"No, it's mine," Sara said. She held the comb close to her chest. She wanted to protect it. + +The boy frowned. He did not like it when people did not share. He tried to grab the comb from Sara, but she resisted. They started to tug and pull on the comb. + +"Hey, stop it!" Sara shouted. "You're hurting me!" + +"Give it to me!" the boy yelled. "It's just a comb!" + +"Mommy, help!" Sara cried. She was scared and angry. + +Sara's mom heard her cry and ran to the bench. She saw the boy and Sara fighting over the comb. She quickly separated them and hugged Sara. + +"What's going on here?" Sara's mom asked. + +"He tried to take my comb!" Sara said, sobbing. + +"I just wanted to see it!" the boy said, pouting. + +Sara's mom looked at the comb. It was bent and broken from the struggle. She felt sorry for Sara, but she also wanted to teach her a lesson. + +"Sara, I know you love your comb, but you have to learn to share," Sara's mom said. "It's not nice to be selfish. Maybe the boy just wanted to be your friend." + +Sara sniffed. She looked at the boy. He looked sad and sorry. She felt a little bad for him, too. + +"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break your comb," the boy said. + +"I'm sorry, too," Sara said. She handed him the comb. "Here, you can have it." + +The boy smiled. He took the comb and thanked her. He looked at her dolls. "They are very pretty," he said. + +"Thank you," Sara said. She smiled back. She felt a little better. + +"Can we play together?" the boy asked. + +"Okay," Sara said. She picked up her dolls. "Do you want to play on the swings?" + +"Sure," the boy said. He followed her to the swings. + +Sara's mom watched them go. She was proud of Sara for being strong and kind. She hoped they would become good friends. She threw away the broken comb and went to join them. +Ben loves to play his guitar. He plays it every day in his room. He likes to make loud noises and sing funny songs. He thinks he is very good at playing guitar. + +One day, his mom tells him to stop playing guitar. She says he is making too much noise and he has to do his homework. Ben does not want to do his homework. He thinks it is boring and hard. He wants to play guitar more. + +He says to his mom, "No, I will not stop playing guitar. I love guitar. It is fun and easy. You are ignorant. You do not know anything about music." + +His mom is very angry. She says, "How dare you talk to me like that? You are rude and disrespectful. You do not appreciate what I do for you. You are not allowed to play guitar anymore. I will take it away from you and lock it in the closet. You will only get it back when you learn to behave and do your homework." + +She grabs his guitar and walks away. Ben is very sad and mad. He cries and screams. He tries to follow his mom and get his guitar back. But she is too fast and strong. She locks the guitar in the closet and leaves. + +Ben is left alone in his room.

She asks her mom to take her to the stage. + +Mom says, "Okay, Anna, we can go to the stage. But you have to be brave and try your best. The stage is very big and there are many people watching. Are you sure you want to sing?" + +Anna nods and smiles. She is not afraid. She is excited. She puts on her favorite dress and her shiny shoes. She holds her mom's hand and walks to the stage. + +When they get to the stage, Anna sees a lot of people sitting in chairs. They are waiting for the show to start. Anna feels a little nervous, but she remembers what mom said. She has to be brave and try her best. + +She goes up to the stage and stands in front of the microphone. She looks at the people and smiles. She opens her mouth and starts to sing. But then, something bad happens. She forgets the words. She stops singing and looks at mom. She feels miserable. She wants to cry. + +Mom sees Anna and runs to the stage. She hugs Anna and says, "It's okay, Anna, it's okay. You tried your best and I'm proud of you. Don't be sad. Everyone makes mistakes. You can sing again another day. I love you, Anna." + +Anna hugs mom and says, "I love you, mom. Thank you for being with me. I'm sorry I forgot the words. I still love to sing." + +Mom says, "I know, Anna, I know. You have a beautiful voice and a big heart. You can sing anytime you want. Come on, let's go home and have some ice cream. How does that sound?" + +Anna smiles and says, "That sounds good, mom. That sounds very good." +Lily loved purple. She had a purple dress, a purple hat, and a purple teddy bear. She liked to play with her purple things in her room. One day, her mom said, "Lily, it's time for a shower. Come on, let's go." + +Lily did not want to go. She wanted to stay with her purple things. She said, "No, mom, no shower. I play with purple." + +Mom smiled and said, "I have a surprise for you, Lily. A very exciting surprise. Do you want to see it?" + +Lily was curious. She liked surprises. She said, "Yes, mom, what is it?" + +Mom took her hand and led her to the bathroom. She turned on the shower and said, "Look, Lily, look at the water. What color is it?" + +Lily gasped. The water was purple! It was a purple shower! She said, "Wow, mom, wow! Purple shower! How?" + +Mom said, "I put some purple dye in the shower head. It's safe and fun. Do you want to try it?" + +Lily nodded. She was very excited. She said, "Yes, mom, yes! I want purple shower!" + +Mom helped her take off her clothes and put on a purple towel. She said, "Okay, Lily, go ahead. Have fun with the purple shower. But don't drink the water, okay?" + +Lily said, "Okay, mom, okay." She ran into the shower and felt the purple water on her skin.

I love you, my purple girl." +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They had many toys, but they always wanted the same one. One day, they both saw a shiny red car on the sink. They ran to grab it, but they got there at the same time. + +"Mine!" Lily shouted, pulling the car. + +"No, mine!" Max yelled, tugging the car. + +They both pulled so hard that the car flew out of their hands and hit the faucet. Water started to spray everywhere, making a loud noise and a big mess. + +"Stop!" their mom said, running into the kitchen. She turned off the water and looked at the wet twins and the broken car. "What happened here?" + +"Lily and Max wanted the same car and they fought over it," they said in a small voice. + +"That was not nice. You should share your toys and take turns. Fighting only leads to trouble. Now you have no car and a wet kitchen. How do you feel?" + +"Sorry," Lily and Max said, looking down. + +"Sorry is good, but not enough. You need to help me clean up this mess and say sorry to each other. Then you can play with another toy, but only if you agree to share." + +Lily and Max nodded. They helped their mom wipe the water and the car pieces. Then they hugged each other and said sorry. They learned their lesson and decided to be more kind and fair. They found a yellow truck and a blue plane on the shelf and played happily together. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park on Sunday. They had a ball, a bike and a kite. They had fun. + +One Sunday, they saw a bald man. He had a big bag. He smiled at them and said, "Hello, kids. Do you want some candy?" + +Lily and Ben liked candy. They nodded. The bald man said, "Come with me. I have more candy in my car." + +Lily and Ben followed the bald man. They did not see the sign that said, "Danger. Do not enter." They did not hear the dog that barked. They did not know the bald man was bad. + +The bald man took them to his car. He locked the door. He drove away. He laughed. Lily and Ben cried. They wished they had not nodded. They wished they had stayed in the park. They wished they had listened to their mom. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with puzzles. They have many puzzles with different pictures. Today, they want to make a puzzle with a green frog. + +They open the box and take out the pieces. They put them on the floor and try to find the ones that fit together. Tom finds the frog's head and Lily finds the frog's legs. They are happy. + +"Look, I have the head!" Tom says. + +"Good! I have the legs!" Lily says. + +They look for the other pieces. They find the frog's eyes, nose, mouth and feet. They put them next to the head and the legs.

They cannot see it. + +"Where is it?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know!" Lily says. + +They are sad. They want to finish the puzzle. + +Then they hear a sound. It is a whistle. It comes from the window. They look outside. They see a bird. It is a green bird. It has something in its beak. It is the puzzle piece! + +The bird whistles again. It flies to the window and drops the piece on the floor.

She liked to read books and draw pictures, but no one wanted to join her. She wished she had someone to talk to and share her ideas. + +One day, she saw a big box in the corner of the classroom. It was full of old toys and games. She wondered what was inside. She asked the teacher if she could look. The teacher said yes, but be careful. Anna opened the box and started to discover many things. She found a doll, a puzzle, a ball, a car, and more. She was very happy. + +She picked up the doll and hugged it. The doll had a button on its chest. Anna pressed it and heard a voice. "Hello, I'm Daisy. Do you want to be my friend?" Anna was surprised and excited. She answered, "Yes, I do. I'm Anna. What can we do?" The doll said, "We can play, talk, and have fun. I have some news for you. You are not lonely anymore. You have me." + +Anna smiled and felt warm in her heart. She had found a new friend in the box. She thanked the teacher and took the doll to her seat. She played with it and talked to it all day. She felt happy and not lonely anymore.

She thought it would be fun and funny. + +"Look, Ben, I can balance an acorn on my nose!" she said, holding an acorn in her hand. + +"Let me try, let me try!" Ben said, reaching for the acorn. + +But Lily did not want to share. She wanted to keep the acorn for herself. She pulled the acorn away from Ben and put it on her nose. + +"No, it's mine, it's mine!" she said, trying to balance the acorn. + +Ben was angry. He wanted to balance an acorn too. He thought Lily was not nice. He pushed Lily and made her fall. The acorn fell off her nose and rolled away. + +"Hey, that's not fair, that's not fair!" Lily said, crying. + +They both got up and ran after the acorn. But they were too late. A squirrel saw the acorn and grabbed it with its teeth. It ran up the tree and hid the acorn in a hole. + +"Hey, that's our acorn, that's our acorn!" Lily and Ben said, pointing at the squirrel. + +But the squirrel did not care. It looked at them and made a noise. It was happy with its acorn. It had a great snack. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They lost their acorn. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they were silly. They should have shared the acorn and played together. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry," Ben said, hugging Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry," Lily said, hugging Ben. + +They forgave each other and smiled. They decided to find another acorn and balance it together. They learned to share and be nice. They had a great day. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park.

Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but be gentle. The dog might not like it," Tom said. + +Lily kissed the dog on its head. The dog did not like it. It growled and barked. It jumped on Lily and knocked her down. It bit her hair and pulled it hard. Lily screamed and cried. Tom was scared. He ran away. + +A man came and took the dog away. He said sorry to Lily. He said the dog was not his. He said the dog was lost and angry. He said Lily should not kiss strange dogs. He said she should go to the doctor. + +Lily was hurt and sad.

But Tim wanted to play with Lily's red car, and Lily did not want to share. She said it was her favorite car and she got it for her birthday. + +Tim got angry and tried to grab the car from Lily's hand. Lily pulled it back and shouted, "No, Tim, it's mine!" They started to fight and tug on the car. They did not hear their mom calling them from the kitchen. + +Mom came into the living room and saw them fighting. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you! You need to share and be nice to each other. Fighting is not good. You can hurt each other and break your toys." + +She took the red car from them and put it on the shelf. She said, "No one can play with this car until you say sorry and hug each other." She went back to the kitchen. + +Tim and Lily looked at each other. They both wanted the red car, but they also did not want to make mom angry. They felt sad and sorry. They said, "Sorry, Tim."

The cat pawed at the car and pushed it off the shelf. The car fell on the floor and broke into pieces. + +Tim and Lily heard the noise and looked at the floor. They saw the broken car and the cat. They gasped and cried. They said, "Oh no, the red car!" "Bad cat!" + +Mom heard them and came into the living room again. She saw the broken car and the cat. She said, "Oh no, what happened?" She picked up the cat and covered it with a blanket. She said, "Don't be mad at the cat. It did not know. It was just playing. It's sorry too." + +She looked at the car and saw that it was beyond repair. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Your car is broken. I know it was your favorite. But it's just a toy. You still have your other cars and your brother. They are more important than a toy." + +She hugged Lily and Tim and said, "I love you both. You are good kids. You learned to share and be nice to each other. That makes me happy. How about we go to the store and buy a new car for Lily?

They put shells and stones on it to make it look nice. + +But then a big wind came and blew the sand away. The castle was gone. Sam and Lily were sad and angry. They blamed each other for the wind. + +"It's your fault, Lily! You made the castle too high!" Sam shouted. + +"No, it's your fault, Sam! You made the castle too close to the water!" Lily shouted back. + +They stopped playing and turned away from each other. They did not want to be friends anymore. + +But then they saw something shiny in the sand. They walked closer and saw a small pool of water with palm trees and flowers around it. It was an oasis. They had never seen an oasis before. It looked like a magic place. + +They forgot about their castle and their fight. They ran to the oasis and dipped their feet in the water. It was cool and refreshing. They saw fish and frogs and birds in the oasis. They smiled and laughed. + +"Look, Sam, a rainbow!" Lily pointed to the sky. + +"Wow, Lily, it's beautiful!" Sam agreed. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry for their words. They hugged and said sorry. + +"I forgive you, Lily. You are my best friend." Sam said. + +"I forgive you, Sam. You are my best friend too." Lily said. + +They played in the oasis until the sun set. They were happy and thankful for their friendship. They did not care about the sand or the wind anymore. They only cared about each other. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with their bikes. They always wear helmets to be safe. One day, they want to go to the park. But their bikes are messy.

They are kind. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big box under a tree. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside the box, there were many shiny things. They were jewels! + +"Wow, look at these!" Sara said. She picked up a necklace with a red jewel. "This is so pretty!" + +Tom nodded. He grabbed a bracelet with a blue jewel. "This is so cool!" + +They put the jewels on their necks and wrists. They felt very happy. They pretended to be a princess and a prince. + +But then, a man came to the park. He was angry and scary. He saw the box and the jewels. He shouted at Sara and Tom. + +"Hey, you! Those are my jewels! Give them back to me, now!" + +Sara and Tom were scared. They tried to run away, but the man was faster. He caught them and snatched the jewels from them. He was very rough. He tore the necklace and the bracelet. The jewels fell to the ground. + +Sara and Tom cried. They felt very sad. They had lost their jewels and their game. + +The man laughed. He picked up the jewels and put them back in the box. He did not care that he had hurt Sara and Tom. He was very mean. + +He walked away with the box. He did not see a policeman who was watching him. The policeman had seen everything. He followed the man and stopped him. + +"Hey, you! Stop right there! Those are not your jewels! They are stolen from the museum! You are under arrest!" + +The man was shocked. He tried to run away, but the policeman was faster. He caught him and handcuffed him. He took the box and the jewels. He was very brave. + +He went back to Sara and Tom. He smiled at them. He gave them a hug. + +"I'm sorry that he scared you and tore your jewels. He was a bad man. He took the jewels from a place where people can see them and learn about them. They are very old and valuable. They are not for playing." + +Sara and Tom nodded. They understood. They felt sorry for the jewels. + +"Can we see them again?" Sara asked. + +"Of course. You can come to the museum with me. I will show you the jewels and tell you their stories. They are very interesting." + +Sara and Tom smiled. They liked the policeman. He was very kind. + +They went to the museum with him. They saw the jewels and many other things. They learned a lot. They had fun. + +They forgot about the man who tore their jewels. He was very poor. He had no friends and no joy. He was in jail. +Lily was a little girl who liked to wonder about many things. She wondered why the sky was blue, why the birds could fly, and why the stars twinkled at night. She also wondered what it would be like to have a birthday party, because she had never had one before. + +One day, her mother told her that she had a surprise for her. She took her to the kitchen, where there was a big cake with four candles on it. "Happy birthday, Lily!" her mother said. "This is your special day. You can make a wish and blow out the candles." + +Lily was very happy and excited. She had never seen a cake like that before. She thought the candles were very pretty and bright. She wondered what she should wish for. She looked at her mother, who smiled and nodded. She looked at the cake, which smelled very good. She looked at the candles, which flickered and danced. + +She decided to wish for something very simple, but very important. She wished to be happy and loved every day. She thought that was better than any toy or dress or candy. She closed her eyes and blew out the candles. The candles went out with a soft sound. + +"Did you make a wish, Lily?" her mother asked. + +"Yes, I did," Lily said. + +"What did you wish for?" her mother asked. + +Lily smiled and hugged her mother. "I wished to be happy and loved every day," she said. + +Her mother hugged her back and kissed her cheek. "That's a wonderful wish, Lily," she said. "And you know what? It's already true. You are happy and loved every day, by me and by many others. You are not an ordinary girl, Lily. You are a very special girl, and I'm so proud of you." + +Lily felt warm and cozy in her mother's arms. She felt happy and loved. She thought that this was the best birthday ever. She wondered what other surprises her mother had for her. She wondered what other things she would learn and see and do as she grew up. She wondered what other wishes she would make in the future. She wondered, and she smiled. +Tim and Lily like to ride their bikes in the park. They have red bikes with big wheels and pedals. They wear helmets and gloves to be safe. + +One day, they see a bird on the ground. It does not move or sing. It has a lot of blood on its feathers. Tim and Lily stop their bikes and look at the bird. + +"What is wrong with the bird?" Lily asks. + +"I think it is dead," Tim says. + +"What does dead mean?" Lily asks. + +Tim thinks for a moment. He does not know how to explain dead to Lily. He says, "Dead means the bird cannot fly or sing or breathe anymore. It is very sad." + +Lily feels sad too. She likes birds. She says, "Can we help the bird?" + +Tim shakes his head. He says, "No, we cannot help the bird. It is too late. We can only say goodbye to the bird." + +Lily nods. She says, "Goodbye, bird. We are sorry you are dead." + +Tim and Lily make a cross with two sticks and put it next to the bird. Then they get back on their bikes and pedal away. They hope the bird is happy in the sky. +Sara and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had a secret club that only they knew about. The club had a special sign, a handshake and a password. The club also had a rule: be loyal to your friend. + +One day, they saw a new kid in the park. His name was Max. He had a big bike and a cool hat. He asked Sara and Ben if they wanted to play with him. Sara said yes, but Ben said no. He did not like Max. He thought Max was mean and bossy. + +"Why don't you want to play with him?" Sara asked Ben. + +"Because he is not in our club. He does not know our sign, our handshake or our password. He is not our friend. He is a stranger." Ben said. + +"But he looks fun. Maybe we can include him in our club. Maybe he can be our friend." Sara said. + +"No, we can't. That would break our rule. We have to be loyal to each other. If you play with him, you are not loyal to me." Ben said. + +Sara felt sad. She did not want to make Ben angry, but she also wanted to try something new. She looked at Max, who was waiting for her. She looked at Ben, who was frowning at her. She had to make a choice. + +She decided to go with Max. She said sorry to Ben and ran to Max. Ben felt hurt and angry. He said goodbye to Sara and left. He did not want to see her anymore. + +Sara and Max had fun for a while. They rode his bike, played catch and ate ice cream. But soon, Sara realized that Max was not very nice. He did not share his bike, he threw the ball too hard and he ate all the ice cream. He also made fun of Sara's clothes, her hair and her club. He said her club was silly and stupid. He said her sign, her handshake and her password were dumb. He said her friend Ben was a loser and a baby. + +Sara felt bad. She did not like what Max was saying. She missed Ben. She wished she had stayed with him. She wanted to go back to him. She looked for an exit. She saw a gate that led to the street. She said goodbye to Max and ran to the gate. She hoped Ben was still there. + +But when she got to the gate, she saw that Ben was gone. He had taken his bike and left. She did not see him anywhere. She felt lonely and sorry. She had lost her best friend. She had broken their rule. She had not been loyal to him. + +She learned a lesson that day. She learned that some people are not what they seem. She learned that some people are not worth playing with. She learned that some people are not true friends. She learned that being loyal to your friend is more important than anything else. She learned that she should have listened to Ben. She learned that she should have stayed with him. She learned that he was her real friend. She learned that she loved him. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to explore the forest. They were independent and did not need their mom to tell them what to do. They knew how to find good things to eat, like nuts and berries. + +One day, they found a big bush with red berries. They were hungry and wanted to taste them. Sara picked one and put it in her mouth. She made a face and spat it out. "Yuck! This berry is sour and bitter!" she said. + +Ben laughed and picked another one. He bit it and smiled. "This berry is sweet and juicy!" he said. "You picked the wrong one, Sara. You have to look for the ones that are shiny and soft, not dull and hard." + +Sara was not happy. She wanted a sweet berry too. She looked at the bush and saw that there were not many shiny and soft berries left. Most of them were dull and hard. She had an idea. She took the sour berry from the ground and replaced it with a sweet berry from Ben's hand. She pretended to pick it from the bush and ate it. "Mmm, this berry is good!" she said. + +Ben was confused. He looked at his hand and saw the sour berry. He looked at the bush and saw the sweet berry was gone. He realized what Sara had done. He was angry and sad. He liked to share with his sister, but she had tricked him. He said, "Sara, that is not fair! You replaced my berry with a bad one. You should not do that. That is mean and selfish." + +Sara felt sorry. She saw that Ben was hurt. She knew she had done something wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was greedy and sneaky. I wanted a sweet berry too, but I should have asked you. You are a good brother and you always share with me. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben looked at Sara and saw that she was sincere. He loved his sister and he wanted to be friends again. He said, "I forgive you, Sara. But next time, please be honest and kind. There are enough berries for both of us. We can find more if we work together." + +Sara nodded and hugged Ben. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are right. We are a team and we can help each other. Let's go and find more berries. And this time, I will share with you." + +They smiled and ran to the next bush. They picked and ate the sweet berries. They were happy and full. They learned a lesson and became closer. They were independent, but they also cared for each other. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with water. They have a big hose and a spray bottle. They wear helmets to keep their heads dry. + +One day, they see a weird bug in the garden. It has many legs and eyes. It is green and shiny. Tom and Sam are curious. They want to look at the bug. + +"Let's spray it with water!" Tom says. He picks up the hose and turns it on. He aims at the bug. + +"Wait, Tom!" Sam says. He picks up the spray bottle and shakes it. He has a plan. "Let's spray it with this!" + +"What is that?" Tom asks. He looks at the bottle. It has a label. It says "Soap". + +"It makes bubbles!" Sam says. He sprays the bug with the soap. The bug gets covered with bubbles. It looks funny. + +Tom laughs. He sprays the bug with water. The bubbles pop. The bug gets wet and angry. It runs away. + +Tom and Sam high-five. They are happy. They spray each other with water and soap. They make more bubbles. They have fun. +Ben and Lily like to play with blocks. They can build many things with blocks. They can build houses, towers, bridges and more. They have fun with blocks. + +One day, they decide to build a big circle with blocks. They put blocks on the floor and make a round shape. They are happy with their circle. They sit inside the circle and pretend it is their fort. + +But then, Tom comes along. Tom is older and bigger than Ben and Lily. He sees their circle and he wants to play too. He says, "Move over, I want to join your fort." He tries to push his way inside the circle. + +Ben and Lily are scared and angry. They say, "No, Tom, this is our circle. We built it. You can't come in. Go away." They try to block Tom with their arms and legs. + +Tom is mad and mean. He says, "Fine, if I can't join your circle, I will break it." He kicks and throws the blocks. He makes the circle fall apart. He laughs and runs away. + +Ben and Lily are sad and hurt. They cry and hug each other. They look at their broken circle and their scattered blocks. They don't want to play anymore. + +Then, Mom comes along. She sees what happened and she feels sorry for Ben and Lily. She says, "Oh, my poor babies, what did Tom do to you? He was very rude and naughty. He should not have broken your circle. I will talk to his mom later. Come here, let me hug you." + +She hugs Ben and Lily and kisses their heads. She says, "Don't worry, you can build another circle. Or you can build something else. You have many blocks and you have each other. You are very smart and creative. You can make anything you want. And I will help you." + +She helps Ben and Lily pick up the blocks and put them in a box. She says, "Let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies and milk. Then we can come back and play again. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily smile and nod. They say, "Yes, Mom, thank you. We love you." They hold Mom's hands and walk to the kitchen. They feel better and hopeful. They still like to play with blocks. They still like to build things. They still like to have fun. They are peaceful and happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were heroes and villains. Lily was the hero and Tom was the villain. Tom had a big closet where he hid his toys and clothes. He said it was his secret base. + +"Give me back my teddy bear, you mean villain!" Lily shouted. She had a soft teddy bear that she loved very much. Tom had taken it and locked it in his closet. He was envious of Lily's teddy bear. He wanted it for himself. + +"Never! It's mine now!" Tom said. He laughed and ran to his closet. He locked the door and turned off the light. He hugged the teddy bear and smiled. + +Lily was angry and sad. She wanted to rescue her teddy bear. She knocked on the closet door and said, "Please, Tom, give me back my teddy bear. It's not nice to take things that are not yours." + +"No, go away!" Tom said. He did not want to share. He did not care about Lily's feelings. + +Lily tried to open the closet door, but it was too hard. She could not break it. She looked around and saw a chair. She had an idea. She dragged the chair to the closet and climbed on it. She reached for the doorknob and turned it. The door opened a little bit. She saw a crack of light and the teddy bear's ear. + +"Ha! I got you!" Lily said. She grabbed the teddy bear and pulled it out. She was happy. She jumped off the chair and ran to her bed. She hugged the teddy bear and said, "I rescued you, my teddy bear. I love you." + +But then, something bad happened. The chair fell over and hit the closet door. The door slammed shut and locked. Tom was still inside. He was scared and alone. He screamed and cried. He wanted to get out. He banged on the door and said, "Help! Help! Let me out!" + +Lily heard Tom's voice. She felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him. She ran to the closet and tried to open the door. But it was too late. The door was stuck. She could not open it. She cried and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to lock you in. Please, don't be mad at me." + +But Tom did not hear her. He was too loud and too scared. He kept screaming and crying. He wished he had not taken Lily's teddy bear. He wished he had been nice to her. He wished he had a hero to rescue him. But there was no hero. There was only a closet. A dark and lonely closet. The end. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to spin on the round thing. They went faster and faster until they felt dizzy. They laughed and held on tight. + +"Look, a big dog!" Lily said, pointing to a furry animal that ran towards them. Tim liked dogs, but this one was very big and loud. It barked and showed its teeth. + +"Go away, dog!" Tim shouted, but the dog did not listen. It jumped on the round thing and tried to bite them. Tim and Lily were frightened. They screamed and let go of the round thing. They fell on the grass and rolled away from the dog. + +"Help, help!" they cried. A man came running from the other side of the park. He was the dog's owner. He grabbed the dog by the collar and pulled it off the round thing. + +"I'm sorry, kids, I'm sorry!" he said. "He's not a bad dog, he just likes to play. He didn't mean to scare you." + +Tim and Lily were still scared. They did not want to play with the dog. They got up and ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"Are you okay, my loves?" she asked. "What happened?" + +"A big dog chased us on the round thing!" Tim said. + +"It was very mean and scary!" Lily said. + +Mom looked at the man and the dog. The man waved and said sorry again. The dog wagged its tail and looked sorry too. + +"I'm glad you're safe, my loves," Mom said. "But not all dogs are mean and scary. Some dogs are nice and friendly. Maybe next time you can say hello to the dog and pet it gently. Then it will be your friend." + +Tim and Lily nodded. They felt better. They still liked to spin on the round thing, but they also liked to make new friends. +Jen and Sam are twins. They like to play with their toys. But they do not like to organize their toys. They leave them everywhere in their room. + +One day, Mom says, "Jen and Sam, you have to organize your toys. If you do not, you will not get a regular snack. You will have to wait until dinner." + +Jen and Sam do not want to wait. They love snack time. They say, "OK, Mom, we will organize our toys." + +But they do not. They play with their toys instead. They have fun. They forget about snack time. + +Mom comes back to their room. She sees the mess. She says, "Jen and Sam, you did not organize your toys. You did not listen to me. Now you have to wait until dinner. No snack for you." + +Jen and Sam are sad. They are hungry. They say, "Sorry, Mom, we will organize our toys now." + +But it is too late. Mom says, "No, you will organize your toys after dinner. And you will not get dessert either. Maybe next time you will do what I say." + +Jen and Sam learn their lesson. They do not like to wait. They do not like to miss snack and dessert. They decide to organize their toys every day. They want to have a regular snack and a happy Mom. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They see many trees and flowers. They see many colors. They like to smell the flowers. + +One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has a big hose. The hose sprays water on the grass. Lila and Ben are curious. They go near the truck. + +"Hello," says a man. He wears a hat and gloves. He holds the hose. "I am watering the grass. Do you know why?" + +Lila and Ben shake their heads. They do not know. + +"The grass needs water to grow. And to stay green. Do you know what season it is?" + +Lila and Ben think. They remember what their mom told them. + +"It is fall," says Lila. + +"That's right," says the man. "Fall is when the leaves change color. And fall off the trees. And the air gets colder. And the days get shorter." + +Lila and Ben nod. They understand. + +"But some grass stays green all year. Do you know what kind of grass that is?" + +Lila and Ben shake their heads. They do not know. + +"It is modern grass," says the man. "Modern grass is not real. It is made of plastic. It looks like grass. But it does not grow. Or change. Or need water." + +Lila and Ben are surprised. They touch the grass. It feels soft. But not wet. + +"Why do you use modern grass?" asks Ben. + +"Because it is easy to take care of. And it does not spread. Real grass can spread. And take over other plants. And make a mess. Modern grass stays in one place. And looks nice." + +Lila and Ben think. They like real grass. And real flowers. And real trees. They like to see them grow. And change. And smell them. + +They thank the man. And say goodbye. They run to the other side of the park. Where there is real grass. And real flowers. And real trees. + +They play in the park. They see many colors. They smell the flowers. They are happy. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with smoke coming out of it. They wanted to go closer and see what it was. + +"Let's go to the hill, Sue. Maybe we can find something fun there," Tom said. + +"No, Tom. That is a volcano. It is very hot and dangerous. Mom and Dad told us to stay away from it," Sue said. + +Tom did not listen to Sue. He ignored her and ran to the volcano. He thought it was a game. He wanted to touch the smoke and the rocks. + +"Tom, come back! You are being silly and naughty. The volcano can hurt you," Sue shouted. + +But Tom did not hear Sue. He was too busy climbing the volcano. He did not see the red lava bubbling inside. He did not feel the ground shaking. He did not hear the loud boom. + +Suddenly, the volcano erupted. It threw fire and ash and rocks into the air. It was very scary and loud. Tom was too close to the volcano. He could not run away. He was trapped by the lava and the smoke. He screamed for help, but no one could hear him. + +Sue saw what happened. She was very sad and scared. She wished she could help Tom, but it was too late. She ran back to her house and told Mom and Dad what happened. They hugged her and cried. They called the police and the firemen, but they could not save Tom. He was gone. + +The volcano was empty now. It did not smoke or boom anymore. It was quiet and still. But Tom was not there. He was gone forever. Sue missed him a lot. She wished he had listened to her. She wished they had played somewhere else. She wished they were still friends. +Sam and Mia liked to play on the sand. They made castles and holes and bridges. They had a bucket and a spade and a ball. They were happy. + +But then the tide came in. The water got closer and closer to their sand. It washed away their castles and holes and bridges. Sam and Mia were sad. + +"Go away, tide!" Sam shouted. "You are mean! You ruined our sand!" + +But the tide did not listen. It kept coming in. It reached their bucket and spade and ball. It took them away. + +"Stop, tide!" Mia cried. "You are bad! You stole our toys!" + +But the tide did not care. It kept coming in. It touched their feet. It was cold. + +"Run, Sam! Run, Mia!" their mom called. "The tide is too high! It is not safe!" + +Sam and Mia ran to their mom. They hugged her. She wrapped them in a towel. It was warm. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry, Mia." their mom said. "The tide is not mean or bad. It is just the water. It goes in and out. Sometimes it is low and sometimes it is high. That is how it works." + +Sam and Mia looked at the water. It was still coming in. It covered their sand. They could not see their castles or holes or bridges. They could not see their bucket or spade or ball. + +"Will we get them back, mom?" Sam asked. + +"Maybe, Sam. Maybe." their mom said. "When the tide goes out, it might leave them on the sand. Or it might take them somewhere else. We don't know." + +Sam and Mia felt sad. They liked their sand and their toys. They did not like the tide. + +But then they saw something. It was shiny and pretty. It was a shell. The tide had left it on the sand. + +"Look, Mia! Look, mom!" Sam said. "A shell! The tide gave us a shell!" + +Mia smiled. She took the shell. She held it to her ear. She heard a sound. It was like the water. + +"Listen, Sam! Listen, mom!" Mia said. "A sound! The tide gave us a sound!" + +Sam smiled. He took the shell. He held it to his ear. He heard the sound. It was like the water. + +They shared the shell. They listened to the sound. They felt happy. + +"Thank you, tide." Sam said. + +"Thank you, tide." Mia said. + +"Thank you, tide." their mom said. +Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys and bubbles. But they have only one soap. The soap is rare. It is pink and smells like flowers. + +One day, Mia and Ben want to use the soap at the same time. Mia says, "It is my turn. I want the soap." Ben says, "No, it is my turn. I want the soap." They both pull the soap. The soap slips from their hands. It falls on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Mia and Ben say. They look at the soap. It is broken. It is in two pieces. Mia and Ben are sad. They both like the soap. They do not want to share it. + +Mama hears them cry. She comes to the bath. She sees the soap. She says, "What happened? Why are you crying?" Mia and Ben tell her. They say, "We broke the soap. It is rare. We are sorry." + +Mama hugs them. She says, "It is okay. I have a surprise for you. I have another soap. It is also rare. It is blue and smells like mint." She shows them the soap. Mia and Ben are happy. They say, "Wow! Thank you, Mama. Can we share it?" + +Mama says, "Yes, you can. Sharing is good. It makes you and others happy. Now, let's finish the bath. You can use both soaps. But be careful. Do not drop them." Mia and Ben nod. They say, "Okay, Mama. We will be careful. We will share." They smile and play with the soaps. They have fun in the bath. +Lila and her dog Rex were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. Lila gave the snowman her scarf to keep him warm. She said, "You are our new friend, Mr. Snowman. We will come back and play with you tomorrow." + +But when they went home, Lila forgot to take her scarf back. She left it on the snowman's neck. Rex saw the scarf and barked. He wanted to get it for Lila. He was a loyal dog and he loved Lila very much. + +Rex ran back to the snowman and tried to pull the scarf off. But the scarf was frozen and stuck. Rex could not get it. He was sad and cold. He looked for a way to go home. But the gate was locked. Lila had locked it when they left. Rex could not unlock it. He was trapped. + +He howled and howled, hoping that Lila would hear him. He missed Lila and he wanted to be with her. He was sorry that he left her. + +Lila heard Rex's howls from her window. She wondered why he was not with her. She looked outside and saw him by the snowman. She saw her scarf on the snowman's neck. She realized what had happened. She felt bad for Rex. She grabbed her coat and her key and ran outside. + +She unlocked the gate and hugged Rex. She said, "I'm sorry, Rex. I forgot my scarf. You were trying to get it for me. You are a good and loyal dog. I love you, Rex." She took her scarf back and wrapped it around Rex's neck. She said, "Now you are warm and cozy. Let's go inside and have some hot cocoa." + +Rex wagged his tail and licked Lila's face. He was happy and grateful. He followed Lila inside. They snuggled on the couch and drank hot cocoa. They looked at the snowman from the window and smiled. They were glad to have each other and their new friend, Mr. Snowman. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to drive them on the carpet and make noises. Lily had a red car and Tom had a blue car. + +"Look, Lily, I can drive very fast!" Tom said, zooming his car across the floor. + +"Wow, Tom, you are good at driving!" Lily said, admiring his car. "Can I try your car?" + +"OK, Lily, but be careful. It is my favorite car." Tom said, handing her his car. + +Lily took the car and drove it slowly. She wanted to see how it worked. She turned it over and looked at the wheels. She saw a small button on the side. She wondered what it did. She pressed it. + +Suddenly, the car made a loud noise and started to move by itself. It drove out of the living room and into the hallway. Lily and Tom ran after it. + +"Stop, car, stop!" Lily shouted, trying to catch it. + +"Oh no, Lily, what did you do?" Tom said, worried. "That is the turbo button. It makes the car go very fast and crazy." + +The car drove around the house, bumping into walls and doors. It knocked over a vase and a lamp. It scared the cat and the dog. Lily and Tom could not stop it. + +"Help, help!" they cried, hoping someone would hear them. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw the car driving wildly and the mess it made. They were not happy. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asked, sternly. + +"Lily pressed the turbo button!" Tom said, pointing at his car. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I didn't know!" Lily said, sadly. + +Mom and Dad picked up the car and turned it off. They gave it back to Tom and hugged Lily. + +"It's OK, Lily, you didn't mean to do it. But you should always ask before you touch someone else's toy." Mom said, gently. + +"And you should be more careful with your toys, Tom. They are not for making trouble." Dad said, firmly. + +Lily and Tom nodded and said they were sorry. They helped Mom and Dad clean up the mess. They learned their lesson and promised to play nicely with their cars. +Tim and Lily are playing with their toy cars. They like to make them go fast and make loud noises. Tim has a red car and Lily has a blue car. They pretend they are racing on a big road. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm the fastest!" Tim says. + +"No, I'm the fastest!" Lily says. + +They zoom their cars around the floor. But then, Tim's car stops moving. He looks at it and sees that it has no oil. Oil is what makes the car go. Tim is sad. + +"Ha, ha, your car is broken!" Lily says. "My car has oil and it can go!" + +Tim feels angry. He wants to play with his car. He looks at Lily's car and sees that it has a lot of oil. He has an idea. He waits until Lily is not looking and he takes her car. He puts his car in its place. He thinks Lily will not notice. + +"Hey, that's my car!" Lily says when she sees Tim with her car. "You took my car! Give it back!" + +"No, this is my car!" Tim says. "Your car is over there!" + +Lily looks at the car that Tim left. She sees that it has no oil. She knows that it is not her car. She knows that Tim is lying. She knows that he replaced her car with his car. She knows that he has a fake car. + +"That's not my car! That's your car!" Lily says. "You have a fake car! You are a cheater!" + +She runs to Tim and tries to get her car back. Tim holds on to it and does not let go. They start to fight. They pull and push and yell. They are not having fun anymore. They are not friends anymore. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a chubby dog named Spot who followed them everywhere. + +One day, their mom told them that a hurricane was coming. She said they had to stay inside and be safe. She said the hurricane was a big wind that could break things and make a lot of noise. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to play outside with Spot. They did not like the hurricane. They thought it would spoil their fun. + +They tried to play with their toys, but they were bored. They looked out the window and saw the sky getting dark and the trees swaying. They heard the wind howling and the rain pounding. + +"Mom, can we go outside now?" Ben asked. + +"No, sweetie, it's too dangerous. The hurricane is still here. We have to wait until it's over," mom said. + +"But we don't like the hurricane. It's mean and scary. It's ruining our day," Lily said. + +"I know, honey, but sometimes we have to deal with things we don't like. The hurricane will go away soon, and then we can play outside again. Why don't we play a game or read a book instead?" mom suggested. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They decided to play a game of hide and seek with Spot. They took turns hiding and finding each other and the dog. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the hurricane for a while. + +They realized that the hurricane could not spoil their fun if they had each other and Spot. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. They want to swing on it. + +"Can I swing first?" Anna asks. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. Then it is my turn," Ben says. + +Anna nods. She climbs on the swing. Ben pushes her. She goes up and down. She feels happy. She laughs. + +"Look, I am flying!" she says. + +Ben smiles. He likes to see Anna cheerful. He waits for his turn. + +Then he sees something shiny on the ground. He bends down. He picks it up. It is a coin. + +"Wow, a coin!" he says. "I can buy candy with this!" + +He runs to Anna. He shows her the coin. + +"Look what I found!" he says. + +Anna stops swinging. She looks at the coin. She is surprised. + +"That is lucky!" she says. "Can I see it?" + +Ben gives her the coin. She holds it in her hand. She feels curious. + +"Where did it come from?" she asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone dropped it. Or maybe it is a magic coin," Ben says. + +"A magic coin?" Anna says. "What can it do?" + +Ben thinks. He has an idea. + +"Maybe it can make wishes come true. Do you want to try?" he says. + +Anna nods. She likes to try new things. + +"OK, let's make a wish. But we have to share it. And we have to say it at the same time," Ben says. + +Anna agrees. She thinks of a good wish. She whispers it to Ben. He whispers it back. They close their eyes. They hold the coin. They say their wish out loud. + +"We wish for more swings!" they say. + +They open their eyes. They look around. They see something amazing. There are more swings in the park. Big swings, small swings, colorful swings, wooden swings. There are enough swings for everyone. + +Anna and Ben are amazed. They are happy. They laugh. + +"It worked! It worked! The coin is magic!" they say. + +They run to the swings. They choose their favorite ones. They swing on them. They feel free. They feel joyful. + +They thank the coin. They put it in their pocket. They decide to keep it as a secret. They think of more wishes they can make. They have fun. They are friends. They are cheerful. +Lily and Ben like to play with bricks. They build houses and towers and bridges with them. They have many colors of bricks: red, blue, yellow, green and more. + +One day, they are playing in the yard with their bricks. They make a big tower with all the colors. They are very happy and proud of their tower. + +But then, a big dog comes running. The dog is black and brown and has a loud bark. The dog sees the tower and thinks it is a toy. He runs to the tower and knocks it down with his paw. The bricks fall and scatter everywhere. Lily and Ben are sad and scared. They cry and run to their mom. + +Mom sees what happened and hugs them. She tells them not to worry. She says the dog is not mean, he just wants to play. She says they can rescue their bricks and build again. She gives them a sour candy to make them feel better. + +Lily and Ben stop crying and smile. They like sour candy. They say thank you to mom. They go back to the yard and look for their bricks. They find them under the grass and the flowers. They rescue their bricks and put them in a basket. They decide to build a house for the dog instead of a tower. They think the dog will like it and be their friend. They are happy and proud again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many birds. They wanted to see the birds up close. They climbed the tree very carefully. + +When they reached the top, they saw a nest with three eggs. The eggs were blue and shiny. Tom and Lily were very happy. They wanted to touch the eggs. + +But then they heard a loud scream. It was the mother bird. She was angry and scared. She wanted to protect her eggs. She flew towards Tom and Lily with her sharp beak. + +"Go away! Go away!" she screamed. "These are my eggs! You are bad!" + +Tom and Lily were scared too. They did not want to hurt the eggs or the bird. They said sorry to the bird. + +"Sorry, sorry!" they said. "We did not know. We just wanted to see. We will go now." + +They climbed down the tree very quickly. They ran to their mom and dad. They told them what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were brave. + +They learned a lesson. They learned to respect the birds and their nests. They learned to be careful and kind. They still liked the birds, but they watched them from far away. +Lily and Ben like to play with rocks. They have many rocks of different colors and shapes. They call them minerals. They keep their minerals in a big box in their room. + +One day, they want to show their minerals to their friend Sam. They take their box outside and walk to Sam's house. But on the way, they see a big dog. The dog barks at them and runs towards them. Lily and Ben are scared. They drop their box and run away. + +The dog sniffs the box and finds the minerals. He thinks they are toys. He takes some minerals in his mouth and runs away. He leaves the box and the other minerals on the road. + +Lily and Ben come back with Sam. They see their box on the road, but some minerals are missing. They are sad. + +"Where are our minerals?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe the dog took them," Sam says. + +"Why did he do that?" Ben asks. + +"Maybe he liked them," Sam says. + +"But they are ours," Lily says. + +"I know," Sam says. "But don't worry. We can find more minerals. There are many rocks in the park. We can go there and look for them." + +Lily and Ben nod. They are still sad, but they like Sam's idea. They pick up their box and go to the park with Sam. They hope to find new minerals and not lose them again. They also hope the dog is happy with his minerals and not cold. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lila found a big worm and showed it to Ben. Ben was scared of the worm and ran away. + +"Come back, Ben! It is just a worm. It cannot hurt you," Lila said. + +But Ben did not listen. He saw something red and round in the dirt. He thought it was a ball and picked it up. It was not a ball. It was a radish. + +"Look, Lila! I found a ball!" Ben said. + +Lila came over and saw the radish. She laughed. + +"That is not a ball, Ben. That is a radish. It is a food. You can eat it," Lila said. + +Ben did not like the radish. He thought it was yucky. He wanted a real ball. + +"No, I do not want to eat it. I want a ball. Give me a ball!" Ben said. He demand a ball. + +Lila did not have a ball. She only had a worm. She did not want to give Ben her worm. She liked her worm. + +"I do not have a ball, Ben. I have a worm. You can have my worm," Lila said. + +Ben did not want the worm. He was still scared of the worm. He threw the radish and the worm on the ground. He was angry. + +"No, I do not want your worm. I want a ball. A ball, a ball, a ball!" Ben said. He yell and cry. + +Lila and Ben heard a voice. It was their mom. She came out of the house. She saw Ben crying and Lila holding the worm. + +"What is going on, kids? Why are you crying, Ben?" Mom said. + +Ben told Mom that he wanted a ball and Lila gave him a radish and a worm. Mom looked at the radish and the worm. She smiled. + +"Ben, that is not a radish. That is a gray ball. It is a special ball. It can change color and shape. See?" Mom said. + +Mom picked up the radish and rubbed it. The radish turned gray and round. It looked like a ball. + +"Wow, a gray ball!" Ben said. He was happy. He forgot about the worm. + +Mom gave Ben the gray ball. He thanked Mom and hugged her. He played with the gray ball. + +Lila was happy too. She still had her worm. She put the worm in a jar and gave it a name. She called it Radish. She played with Radish. + +Mom watched Lila and Ben play. She was proud of them. She went back to the house and made a salad. She used the other radishes from the garden. She did not tell Lila and Ben. She thought they would not like it. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in a tree. The bird is red and blue and yellow. It is very pretty. + +"Hello, bird!" Sara says. "What is your name?" + +The bird looks at Sara and Tom. It says, "I am a parrot. I come from a far country. It is warm and green there." + +Sara and Tom are curious. They ask, "What do you eat in your country?" + +The parrot says, "I eat fruits and nuts and seeds. They are yummy and good for me." + +Sara and Tom want to be polite. They say, "We have some fruits and nuts and seeds too. Do you want some?" + +The parrot nods. It says, "Yes, please. That is very kind of you." + +Sara and Tom feed the parrot some grapes and almonds and sunflower seeds. The parrot likes them very much. It says, "Thank you, Sara and Tom. You are very nice and friendly." + +Sara and Tom smile. They say, "You are welcome, parrot. We are happy to meet you." + +They play with the parrot for a while. They learn some words from its country. They have fun together. They are good friends. +Lily was a wealthy girl who had many shoes. She liked to wear different shoes every day. She had red shoes, blue shoes, pink shoes, and more. She had shoes with flowers, shoes with stars, shoes with ribbons, and more. She had shoes for every occasion. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She wore her new purple shoes that sparkled in the sun. She saw a boy playing with a ball. He had no shoes on his feet. He had dirty socks that had holes in them. Lily felt sorry for the boy. She wanted to be his friend. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" she asked the boy. + +"I'm Tom. I like your shoes. They are pretty," he said. + +"Thank you. Do you want to play with me?" she asked. + +"Sure. I like to play ball. Do you?" he said. + +"Yes, I do. But first, I have something for you," she said. She took off her purple shoes and gave them to Tom. "Here, you can have these. They are new and they sparkle. I have many shoes at home. You can keep these." + +Tom was surprised and happy. He put on the purple shoes and smiled. They fit him well. He thanked Lily and hugged her. "You are very kind. I have no shoes. These are my first shoes. They are beautiful. Thank you, Lily." + +Lily and Tom played ball together. They had fun. They became friends. Lily did not mind that she had no shoes on. She felt happy that she made Tom happy. She learned that sharing is better than having. She learned that shoes are not the most important thing. She learned that friendship is. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their dad's tools. They knew they were not supposed to touch them, but they were curious and wanted to see how they worked. One day, when their dad was out, they sneaked into the garage and opened the toolbox. + +"Look at this!" Tim said, holding a shiny hammer. "It can make things flat and break things apart. Let's try it on that old can." + +Sam nodded and followed Tim to the corner, where there was a pile of empty cans. Tim swung the hammer and smashed a can with a loud bang. Sam clapped and cheered. + +"That was fun!" Sam said. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, here you go." Tim handed the hammer to Sam. "But be careful, don't hit your fingers or anything else." + +Sam took the hammer and looked for another can. He saw one on the shelf, next to a glass jar. He reached for the can, but he was careless and knocked over the jar. The jar fell to the floor and shattered, making a loud noise and a big mess. + +"Oh no!" Sam cried. "We broke dad's jar! He will be so mad at us!" + +Tim ran to Sam and saw the broken jar. He recognized it as the one that their dad had mentioned before. It was a special jar that their dad had made with his grandfather when he was a boy. It had a picture of a fish on it and their dad loved it very much. + +"Sam, what did you do?" Tim said. "That was dad's favorite jar! He will be so sad and angry when he sees this!" + +Sam felt sorry and scared. He wished he had not touched the hammer or the can. He wished he had listened to Tim and been careful. + +"I'm sorry, Tim." Sam said. "I didn't mean to break it. What can we do?" + +Tim thought for a moment. He knew they could not fix the jar or hide the mess. He knew they had to tell their dad the truth and face the consequences. + +"We have to tell dad what happened." Tim said. "Maybe he will forgive us if we say we are sorry and promise not to touch his tools again." + +Sam nodded and agreed. They picked up the hammer and put it back in the toolbox. They swept up the glass and put it in a bag. They waited for their dad to come home and hoped he would not be too mad at them. They learned a lesson that day: to respect their dad's tools and to be careful with what they play with. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a brown path in the grass. They want to know where it goes. + +"Let's follow the path!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Lily says. + +They hold hands and walk on the path. They see many things on the way. They see flowers, trees, birds and bugs. They say hello to them. + +"Hello, flower! Hello, tree! Hello, bird! Hello, bug!" they say. + +The path goes up and down, left and right. They have fun following it. They wonder what is at the end of the path. + +They walk and walk until they see a big pond. The pond has water, fish, ducks and frogs. They are happy to see the pond. + +"Look, a pond!" Tom says. + +"Wow, a pond!" Lily says. + +They sit by the pond and watch the fish, ducks and frogs. They hear them make noises. + +"Blub, blub, blub!" the fish say. + +"Quack, quack, quack!" the ducks say. + +"Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!" the frogs say. + +Tom and Lily laugh and clap. They like the pond. They think the path is good. They are glad they followed it. They hug and smile. They are good friends. +One day, Ben and Mia went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish and shells and crabs. + +"Look, Ben, a shark!" Mia said, pointing to a big gray shape in the water. Ben was scared. He did not like sharks. He thought they were mean and hungry. + +"Let's go away, Mia. The shark might bite us," Ben said, holding Mia's hand. + +But Mia was not scared. She was curious. She wanted to see the shark better. She pulled Ben closer to the water. + +"Don't be afraid, Ben. The shark is not mean. He is humble. He does not want to hurt us. He just wants to swim and play," Mia said. + +"How do you know, Mia? How can you tell?" Ben asked. + +Mia smiled. She had a secret. She could talk to animals. She learned it from her grandma, who was a fairy. + +"I can hear him, Ben. He is talking to me. He says his name is Sam. He says he is lonely and bored. He wants to have friends," Mia said. + +Ben was amazed. He wished he could talk to animals too. He looked at the shark. He did not seem so scary anymore. He seemed sad and friendly. + +"Hello, Sam. I'm Ben. This is Mia. We want to be your friends," Ben said, waving to the shark. + +Sam was happy. He waved back with his fin. He came closer to the shore, but not too close. He did not want to scare Ben and Mia. + +"Thank you, Ben. Thank you, Mia. You are very kind and brave. I'm glad you are my friends," Sam said, in a low and gentle voice that only Mia could hear. + +Mia told Ben what Sam said. Ben smiled. He felt proud and happy. He and Mia played with Sam for a while. They threw a ball for him to catch. They asked him questions about the sea. They laughed and had fun. + +Mom and dad watched them from a distance. They did not see or hear Sam. They only saw Ben and Mia playing in the water. They were happy too. They thought Ben and Mia had a big imagination. They did not know they had a humble shark friend. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. They make pictures of animals and houses and cars. They have fun. + +One day, Tom finds a pen on the desk. It is not a crayon. It has ink inside. Tom wants to try it. He opens the pen and sees the ink. It is black and shiny. He thinks it is cool. + +He says to Jen, "Look, Jen, I have a pen. It has ink. I can make more pictures with it." + +Jen says, "Tom, that is not a toy. That is Mom's pen. She needs it for work. You should not use it. It can make a mess." + +But Tom does not listen. He is playful. He wants to see what the ink can do. He draws on the paper. He draws on the desk. He draws on the wall. He draws on his shirt. He makes a lot of ink marks. + +Jen says, "Tom, stop! You are making a big mess. Mom will be angry. You should put the pen back." + +But Tom does not stop. He is having too much fun. He runs around the room. He draws on everything. He laughs. + +Jen says, "Tom, come here. I have something for you." + +Tom says, "What is it, Jen?" + +Jen says, "It is a surprise. Come and see." + +Tom is curious. He goes to Jen. Jen has a big bag. She says, "Close your eyes and put your hand in the bag." + +Tom closes his eyes and puts his hand in the bag. He feels something soft and fuzzy. He pulls it out. It is a sweater. It is Mom's sweater. It has a zip. + +Jen says, "Open your eyes, Tom. Look what you have." + +Tom opens his eyes and sees the sweater. He sees the zip. He likes the zip. He says, "Wow, Jen, this is a nice sweater. It has a zip. I can zip it up and down. Zip, zip, zip." + +Jen says, "Yes, Tom, it is a nice sweater. It is Mom's sweater. And you know what else? It has ink. Look." + +Tom looks at the sweater. He sees the ink. The ink is on the sweater. The ink is from the pen. The pen is in Tom's hand. The pen is open. The ink is everywhere. + +Tom says, "Oh, no, Jen, what have I done? I have ruined Mom's sweater. I have ruined everything. Mom will be so mad. What can I do?" + +Jen says, "You can say sorry, Tom. You can help me clean up. You can put the pen back. You can be more careful next time. You can learn from your mistake." + +Tom says, "You are right, Jen. I am sorry. I will help you clean up. I will put the pen back. I will be more careful next time. I will learn from my mistake. Thank you, Jen, for being my friend." + +Jen says, "You are welcome, Tom. I am your friend. I will help you. But next time, please listen to me. And please, no more ink." +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big pot, some spoons, and some salt and pepper. + +"Let's make soup!" said Lily. "We need water and carrots and potatoes and noodles." + +"OK!" said Tom. "I will get the water and the noodles. You get the carrots and the potatoes." + +They filled the pot with water and put it on the stove. They turned on the fire, but not too high. They chopped the carrots and the potatoes and added them to the pot. They also put some noodles in the pot. + +"Now we need some salt and pepper," said Lily. "Can you reach the pepper, Tom?" + +Tom climbed on a chair and reached for the pepper. But he was not careful and he knocked over the pepper. The pepper fell on the floor and the lid came off. The pepper spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no!" said Tom. "Look at the mess!" + +Lily and Tom sneezed and coughed. The pepper made their noses and mouths hurt. They ran out of the kitchen. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" they cried. "Help us!" + +Mommy and Daddy came to the kitchen. They saw the pot, the spoons, the salt, and the pepper. They saw the fire, the water, the carrots, the potatoes, and the noodles. They smelled the soup. + +"What have you done?" they asked. + +"We were making soup," said Lily and Tom. "But the pepper escaped and made us sneeze." + +Mommy and Daddy laughed. They turned off the fire and cleaned up the pepper. They hugged Lily and Tom. + +"It's OK," they said. "You were trying to be creative and have fun. But next time, please ask us before you use the stove and the pepper. They can be dangerous." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said they were sorry. They tasted the soup. It was lovely. They shared it with Mommy and Daddy. They all enjoyed the soup and the pepper. +Lily and her mom went to the grocery store. Lily liked to see all the different things in the store. She saw fruits, vegetables, bread, milk, eggs, and many more. She also saw some things she did not know. + +"Mom, what is that?" Lily asked, pointing to a large jar of pickles. + +"That is a pickle, Lily. It is a cucumber that has been in vinegar and salt. Some people like to eat it as a snack or with a sandwich," mom explained. + +Lily made a face. She did not think she would like pickles. She liked cucumbers, but not with vinegar and salt. + +"Can I try one?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. We can buy a small jar and you can try one at home. Maybe you will like it, maybe you won't. But it is good to try new things sometimes," mom said. + +Lily nodded. She was curious about the pickles. She hoped they would not be too sour or salty. She and her mom put the small jar of pickles in their cart and continued to shop. Lily saw many more things she wanted to ask mom about. She liked to learn new things from mom. Mom liked to explain things to Lily. They had fun at the grocery store. +Lily had a new flute. She liked to play it and make music. She wanted to show it to her friend Ben. + +She went to his house and knocked on the door. Ben opened it and smiled. + +"Hi, Lily! What do you have?" he asked. + +"I have a flute. Look!" Lily said. She held up her flute and blew into it. It made a high sound. + +"Wow, that's cool! Can I try?" Ben said. + +"Sure, here you go." Lily gave him her flute. + +Ben took the flute and tried to blow into it. But he could not make any sound. He frowned and looked at the flute. + +"It doesn't work. Why not?" he said. + +Lily shrugged. "Maybe it doesn't fit you. Maybe your mouth is too big or too small. Or maybe you need to blow harder or softer." + +Ben tried again. He blew harder and softer. He moved his mouth around. But nothing happened. He gave up and handed the flute back to Lily. + +"Here, you play it. It's too hard for me." he said. + +Lily took the flute and played it again. It made a nice sound. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ben. Maybe you can play something else. Do you have a drum or a guitar?" + +Ben nodded. "I have a drum. It's in my room. Come on, let's go play it." + +They ran to Ben's room and found his drum. It was big and heavy. Ben picked it up and carried it to the floor. He put it down and tapped it with his hands. It made a loud sound. + +"Boom, boom, boom!" he said. "This is fun. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nodded. She liked the sound of the drum. She sat next to Ben and tapped the drum with her hands. They made music together. + +"Boom, boom, boom!" they said. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the flute and the drum. They were happy. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill of dirt with many ants on it. They wanted to watch the ants and see what they did. + +"Look, Ben, the ants are carrying things!" Sam said, pointing at the ants. + +"Yes, they are. They are very busy. Maybe they are making a plan," Ben said, wondering what the ants were doing. + +They got closer to the hill and saw that some of the ants were carrying dead bugs. They were taking them to a hole in the hill. + +"Why are they doing that?" Sam asked, feeling curious. + +"I don't know. Maybe they are saving them for later. Or maybe they are giving them to their queen," Ben guessed, trying to sound smart. + +They decided to dig a little hole next to the ants' hole and see what was inside. They used their hands and a stick to make the hole. They were careful not to hurt the ants. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben exclaimed, as he saw a big chamber with many ants and dead bugs inside. + +"It's like a treasure room!" Sam agreed, as he saw the shiny wings and legs of the bugs. + +They wanted to touch the bugs and see how they felt. But before they could, they heard a loud noise. + +"Ben! Sam! Time for lunch!" their mom called from the house. + +They quickly got up and ran to the house, leaving the hole and the ants behind. + +"Mom, we saw something amazing!" Ben said, as he told her about the ants and their plan. + +"Really? That sounds very interesting. But you should be careful not to disturb the ants. They might bite you," their mom said, as she gave them sandwiches and juice. + +"OK, mom. We won't. Can we go back and see them later?" Sam asked, as he ate his sandwich. + +"Maybe. But only if you wash your hands first. And don't forget to fill the hole. You don't want to make the ants angry," their mom said, as she smiled at them. + +Ben and Sam nodded and finished their lunch. They wanted to see the ants again and learn more about their plan. They thought the ants were very clever and cool. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside after the rain. They see many puddles on the grass. They want to jump in them and make splashes. + +"Look, Lily, a big puddle!" Ben says. He runs to the puddle and jumps in. He laughs and gets wet. + +"Wait for me, Ben!" Lily says. She runs after him and jumps in too. She giggles and gets wet. + +They jump and splash and have fun. But then they see Mom coming. She looks angry. + +"Ben, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom says. "You are all dirty and wet. You need to come inside and get clean. Now!" + +"But Mom, we are having fun!" Ben says. + +"Yeah, Mom, we like puddles!" Lily says. + +"No, you don't. Puddles are dirty and cold. You will get sick. Come on, hold my hand and let's go inside." Mom says. + +She holds Ben's hand and Lily's hand and takes them inside. They do not want to go. They want to stay and play. They are sad and mad. + +They go inside and Mom gives them towels and dry clothes. She tells them to take a bath and get clean. They do not want to take a bath. They want to go back outside. They are still sad and mad. + +They take a bath and get clean. They put on their dry clothes. They feel warm and cozy. They are not sad and mad anymore. + +They hug Mom and say sorry. Mom hugs them and says it's okay. She loves them. They love her. + +They go to the window and look outside. They see the puddles. They smile and wink at each other. They still like puddles. Maybe they can play in them again tomorrow. +Tim and Liz are friends who like to dig in the dirt. They have a big bucket and some tools. They want to find shiny rocks and fossils. They think they are like treasure hunters. + +One day, they dig near a big tree. They see something sparkling in the dirt. They dig faster and pull out a rock. It is not like any rock they have seen before. It has many colors and shapes. It is very pretty. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tim says. "It is a mineral. It is a special kind of rock that has crystals inside. I learned that from a book." + +Liz nods. She likes books too. She looks at the mineral and sees a pattern. It looks like a star. She points to it and says, "Look, it has a star. It is a unique mineral. It is one of a kind. We are so lucky to find it." + +Tim nods too. He agrees with Liz. He thinks the mineral is amazing. He says, "Let's keep it. We can share it. We can put it in our bucket and show it to our parents. Maybe they will know more about it." + +Liz smiles and says, "Yes, let's do that. It is our treasure. We are the best treasure hunters ever." + +They put the mineral in their bucket and hug each other. They are very happy. They continue to dig in the dirt, hoping to find more minerals and fossils. They have a lot of fun. +Lily and Ben were playing with a rope in the garden. They wanted to make a swing on the big tree. Lily knew how to make a knot, but Ben did not. + +"Let me show you how to make a knot, Ben. It is easy and fun," Lily said. + +She took one end of the rope and wrapped it around the other end. Then she pulled it through the loop and tightened it. + +"See? This is a knot. It is strong and will not come undone," she said. + +Ben tried to copy her, but he got confused. He twisted and tangled the rope until it was a mess. + +"I can't do it, Lily. It is too hard," he said. + +Lily looked at his rope and frowned. + +"That is not a knot, Ben. That is a mess. You did it all wrong," she said. + +She was rude and made Ben feel bad. + +Ben felt sad and angry. He did not like how Lily talked to him. + +He snatched the rope from her and threw it on the ground. + +"I don't want to play with you anymore, Lily. You are mean and bossy," he said. + +He ran away to the house. + +Lily was surprised and sorry. She did not mean to hurt Ben's feelings. + +She picked up the rope and followed him. + +"Wait, Ben. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. I just wanted to help you," she said. + +She caught up with him at the door. + +"Please, Ben. Let's be friends again. I recommend we try to make the swing together. I can teach you how to make a knot, and you can teach me something else. What do you say?" she said. + +Ben looked at her and saw that she was sincere. + +He smiled and nodded. + +"Okay, Lily. I'm sorry too. I overreacted. Let's be friends again. I recommend we go back to the garden and have fun. I can teach you how to make a paper plane. What do you say?" he said. + +Lily smiled and nodded. + +"Okay, Ben. That sounds great. Let's go," she said. + +They hugged and went back to the garden. + +They made the swing and the paper plane. + +They had fun and learned from each other. + +They were happy and good friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is not nice. It barks and runs at them. Tom and Sam are scared. They run away. + +But Sam is not fast. The dog catches him. It bites his leg. Sam falls down. He cries. He is hurt and helpless. Tom hears him. He wants to help his friend. + +Tom is brave. He picks up a stick. He walks back to the dog. He hits the dog with the stick. The dog is angry. It lets go of Sam's leg. It tries to bite Tom. But Tom hits it again. The dog runs away. + +Tom helps Sam get up. He holds his hand. He walks with him to the nurse. The nurse puts a bandage on Sam's leg. She says Tom is a good friend. She gives them both a candy. + +Tom and Sam hug. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to be brave and help each other. They learned to walk away from bad dogs. They learned to hold hands and stick together. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park when it is cold. They wear thick coats and mittens to keep warm. They run and slide on the snow. They laugh and have fun. + +One day, they see a big swing in the park. It has two seats and a long rope. Lila and Ben want to try it. They run to the swing and sit on the seats. They hold the rope with their mittens. + +"Are you ready?" Lila asks Ben. + +"Yes, I am ready!" Ben says. + +They push with their feet and the swing goes up and down. They feel the wind on their faces and the snow on their hair. They swing higher and higher. They shout and giggle. + +They swing for a long time. They are happy. They forget about the cold. They only feel the joy of swinging. +Sam was sick. He had a big cough and a hot head. He did not want to eat or play. His mom took him to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He looked at Sam and gave him some medicine. + +"Sam, you need to take this medicine every day. It will help you feel better," the doctor said. + +Sam did not like the medicine. It was bitter and yucky. He made a face and spat it out. + +"Sam, please try to swallow the medicine. It is good for you," his mom said. + +Sam shook his head. He did not want to try. He threw the medicine on the floor. + +The doctor and his mom were sad. They tried to make Sam take the medicine, but he did not listen. He cried and kicked and screamed. + +They took Sam to the nurse. The nurse was brilliant. She had a big smile and a funny hat. She had a syringe with a needle. + +"Sam, this is the nurse. She will give you a shot. It will make you feel better faster," the doctor said. + +Sam did not like the shot. He was scared of the needle. He tried to run away, but the nurse was faster. She held him tight and poked him with the needle. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Sam yelled. He felt a sharp pain in his arm. He felt dizzy and sick. He fainted. + +The nurse checked his pulse and his temperature. She shook her head. + +"I'm sorry, doctor. The medicine was too strong for him. He had an allergic reaction. He is gone," she said. + +The doctor and his mom were shocked. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had made Sam take the medicine. They wished they had not given him the shot. They wished he was still alive. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign near the park. The sign has a picture of a house and some words. + +"What does the sign say?" Lily asks Ben. + +Ben looks at the sign. He knows some words, but not all. He tries to read the sign. + +"It says... For... Sale... Wide... House... Call... This... Number..." Ben says slowly. + +"What does that mean?" Lily asks. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He remembers what his mom told him once. + +"It means that someone wants to sell their house. The house is wide, like big. And if you want to buy the house, you have to call the number on the sign," Ben explains. + +Lily nods. She thinks the house looks nice. She wonders what it is like inside. + +"Can we go and see the house?" Lily asks. + +Ben shakes his head. He knows they are not allowed to go inside other people's houses. + +"No, we can't. The house is not ours. We have to ask our moms and dads first," Ben says. + +Lily feels sad. She wants to see the house. She likes wide houses. She has an idea. + +"Maybe we can make our own house!" Lily says. + +Ben smiles. He likes Lily's idea. He looks around the park. He sees some boxes, some sticks, some leaves, and some flowers. + +"Let's do it!" Ben says. + +They run to the boxes and start to build their own house. They use the sticks and the leaves for the roof. They use the flowers for decoration. They make a door and a window. They are very happy with their house. + +They go inside their house and pretend to live there. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the sign and the wide house. They have their own house. And they have each other. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They play together in the garden. + +One day, a big hairy dog comes to the garden. He sees the toys and wants to play too. He runs to Anna and Ben and grabs the doll with his mouth. Anna is sad and cries. + +"Give me back my doll!" she says to the dog. + +The dog does not listen. He runs away with the doll. Ben chases him, but he is too fast. Ben is angry and shouts. + +"Bad dog! Leave our toys alone!" + +The dog does not care. He thinks the doll is fun. He shakes it and bites it. The doll is broken. + +Anna and Ben are very sad. They do not have any toys to play with. They sit on the grass and look at the dog. + +Then, Ben has an idea. He whispers to Anna. + +"I have an idea. Let's share something with the dog. Maybe he will be nice to us." + +Anna nods. She likes the idea. She looks around and sees a stick. She picks it up and shows it to Ben. + +"Look, a stick. Dogs like sticks. Let's share this stick with the dog." + +Ben agrees. He smiles and waves the stick. He calls the dog. + +"Hey, dog! Do you want to play with this stick? It is better than the doll. Come here, we will share it with you." + +The dog hears Ben. He drops the doll and looks at the stick. He likes the stick. He runs to Ben and Anna and wags his tail. He barks happily. + +"Good dog!" Ben says. He throws the stick and the dog runs after it. He brings it back and gives it to Ben. + +"Thank you, dog!" Anna says. She pets the dog and he licks her face. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They share the stick with the dog and play together. The dog is happy too. He has new friends and a new toy. He forgets about the doll. + +The end. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys and run around the house. But sometimes they do not behave. They make a lot of noise and mess. Mom and Dad get angry and tell them to stop. + +One day, Mom and Dad have to go to the store. They ask Grandma to watch Lily and Max. Grandma is very nice and kind. She says, "You can play, but you have to behave. If you are good, I will give you a surprise." + +Lily and Max want the surprise. They nod and smile. They play quietly with their toys and help Grandma clean up. They do not fight or cry. Grandma is happy and proud. + +When Mom and Dad come back, Grandma tells them how well Lily and Max behaved. She gives them the surprise. It is a big box with a ribbon. Lily and Max open it. Inside, there is a new toy. It is a train set. It has tracks and cars and a station. It makes sounds and lights. It is in motion. + +Lily and Max are very happy. They hug Grandma and thank her. They say, "We love you, Grandma. You are the best." They play with the train set and share it. Mom and Dad are happy too. They say, "You are good children. We are proud of you." They hug Lily and Max and Grandma. They are a happy family. +Ben and Mia love to play with their toy trains. They have many engines of different colors and sizes. They like to make tracks and bridges and tunnels for their engines to go through. Sometimes they share their engines with each other, and sometimes they want to keep them for themselves. + +One day, Ben and Mia were playing with their engines in the living room. Ben had a big red engine that he liked very much. He did not want to let Mia play with it. Mia had a small blue engine that she liked very much. She did not want to let Ben play with it. They both wanted to have the other's engine, but they did not want to give up their own. They started to argue and pull and tug at the engines. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the engines and said, "Ben and Mia, why are you being so selfish? You have so many engines to play with, and you are not being nice to each other. You should share your engines and be thankful for what you have. How would you feel if someone took your engine away from you?" + +Ben and Mia felt ashamed and sorry. They realized that they were being mean and greedy. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They decided to share their engines and play together. They gave each other their engines and said thank you. They had more fun playing with both engines than with one. They learned to be grateful and generous. + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I'm proud of you, Ben and Mia. You have learned a valuable lesson today. Sharing is caring, and thankfulness is happiness. Now you can enjoy your engines and your friendship more." Ben and Mia nodded and smiled. They were happy and peaceful. They were no longer restless. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw an old rocket in the field. It was big and red and had a door on the side. + +"Let's enter the rocket and pretend we are astronauts!" Tom said. + +"OK, that sounds fun!" Sam said. + +They ran to the rocket and opened the door. Inside, there were many buttons and lights and wires. Tom and Sam sat on the seats and put on the helmets. + +"Ready for blast off?" Tom asked. + +"Ready!" Sam said. + +Tom pushed a big green button. The rocket made a loud noise and started to shake. Tom and Sam were scared. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Sam shouted. + +"I don't know how to stop!" Tom cried. + +The rocket flew out of the field and into the sky. It went higher and higher and faster and faster. Tom and Sam screamed and cried. They did not know where they were going or how to get back. They wished they had never entered the old rocket. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the big building where their mom works. They like to ride the elevator up and down. The elevator has buttons with numbers and pictures. Lily likes to press the buttons. Ben likes to watch the doors open and close. + +One day, they go to the big building with their mom. Mom says she has to do some work and they can play in the lobby. Lily and Ben run to the elevator. Lily presses the button with a star. The elevator goes up very fast. Ben feels scared. He holds Lily's hand. + +The elevator stops at the top floor. The doors open. Lily and Ben see a lot of people and desks and computers. They also see a big window with a nice view. Lily wants to go and see the window. Ben wants to go back to the lobby. He says, "Lily, let's go. I don't like it here. It's too high." + +Lily says, "No, Ben. I want to see the window. It's pretty. Don't be scared. I will support you. Come with me." + +Ben says, "No, Lily. I want to go. Please. The elevator might go away. Then we will be stuck here." + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They pull each other's hands. They don't see that the elevator doors are closing. They don't hear that the elevator is going down. They are too busy fighting. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud ding. The elevator stops. The doors open. They see their mom. She looks worried. She says, "Lily, Ben, what are you doing? I was looking for you. Why did you go to the top floor?" + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They hug their mom. They say, "We're sorry, mom. We wanted to play. But we had a fight. We didn't mean to go to the top floor." + +Mom says, "It's okay, my loves. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to be careful. The elevator is not a toy. And you have to listen to each other. Sometimes you have to support your brother or sister, even if you don't agree. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, mom. We love you. We love each other. We will support each other." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I love you too. Now let's go home. I'm done with my work. Are you happy?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, mom. We're happy." They hold their mom's hand. They go to the elevator. They press the button with a heart. The elevator goes down. They are happy. +Lila and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the sea, like fish, crabs, and shells. + +One day, they saw something new. It was round and clear, with long thin parts. It looked like a balloon with strings. Lila and Ben were curious. They wanted to touch it. + +"Look, mom, look, dad, what is that?" they asked, pointing at the thing. + +"That is a jellyfish," mom said. "It is a kind of animal that lives in the water. It is not a toy. It can hurt you if you touch it." + +"Why can it hurt me?" Lila asked. + +"Because it has stingers on its thin parts. They can make you feel pain and itch. You have to be careful and stay away from them," dad said. + +"Oh, I see," Lila said. She was a little sad. She thought the jellyfish was adorable. She liked how it moved and shone in the sun. + +"Can I look at it from far away?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, you can," mom said. "But don't go too close. And don't touch it." + +"OK," Ben said. He watched the jellyfish with his eyes. He thought it was interesting. He wondered how it ate and breathed. + +Lila and Ben learned something new that day. They learned that some animals are not good to touch, even if they look adorable. They learned to listen to their mom and dad, who knew more about the sea. They learned to respect the jellyfish, who had their own way of living. They also had fun at the beach, playing with other things that were safe and fun. + +They would recommend the beach to their friends, but they would also tell them to be careful of the jellyfish. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to bounce the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they bounced it high, sometimes they bounced it low. They had fun with the ball. + +"Look, Lily, there is a cooler over there!" Ben said, pointing to a big box with a handle. "Maybe there is something yummy inside. Let's go and see." + +They ran to the cooler and opened it. Inside, they saw some brown bottles and some brown cans. They did not know what they were. They looked shiny and cold. + +"Can we have one?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe they belong to someone else. Maybe they are not good for us." Ben said. + +But Lily was curious. She took a brown bottle and tried to open it. She twisted the cap, but it did not come off. She pulled it, but it did not come off. She shook it, but it did not come off. + +"Let me try." Ben said. He took the bottle from Lily and did the same things. He twisted, he pulled, he shook. But the cap did not come off. + +Suddenly, the bottle made a loud noise. Pssst! The cap flew off and the brown liquid sprayed out. It went all over Ben and Lily and the cooler and the grass. It was sticky and fizzy and wet. + +"Ah!" Ben and Lily screamed. They dropped the bottle and ran away. They were scared and messy. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing with my soda?" A man shouted. He came out of a nearby tent and saw the mess. He was angry and surprised. He picked up the bottle and the cap and put them back in the cooler. He closed the cooler and carried it to his tent. + +Ben and Lily ran back to their ball. They did not want to touch the cooler or the brown bottles or cans again. They bounced the ball to each other and tried to forget what happened. They learned a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. They should not open things that they do not know. They should stick to their ball. They had fun with the ball. +Sara and Tom went to the museum with Mom and Dad. They saw many things in the museum. They saw big animals and small animals. They saw old things and new things. They saw paintings and statues. + +Sara liked the small animals best. She saw a small bird with many colors. She saw a small fish with a long tail. She saw a small bug with spots. She wanted to touch them, but Mom said no. + +Tom liked the old things best. He saw an old car with big wheels. He saw an old clock with a loud sound. He saw an old coin with a strange face. He wanted to take them, but Dad said no. + +Sara and Tom saw a room with a sign. The sign said "Change". They were curious. They went inside the room. They saw many things that could change. They saw a toy that could change shape. They saw a flower that could change color. They saw a dress that could change size. + +Sara and Tom had fun in the room. They played with the things that could change. They changed the toy from a ball to a star. They changed the flower from red to blue. They changed the dress from big to small. + +Mom and Dad came to the room. They saw Sara and Tom playing. They smiled. They said it was time to go home. Sara and Tom said goodbye to the things that could change. They said they liked the museum. They said they learned a lot. They said they wanted to come back. +Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. But today, Tim is sick. He has to stay in bed. He feels hot and sad. + +Lily misses Tim. She wants to play with him. She calls him on the phone. + +"Hi, Tim. How are you?" Lily asks. + +"Hi, Lily. I am not good. I am hot and I cough. I can't play today." Tim says. + +"I am sorry, Tim. I miss you. Do you want me to tell you a story?" Lily says. + +"Yes, please. I like your stories." Tim says. + +"Okay. Listen. Once, there was a tough lion. He was the king of the jungle. He was strong and brave. But he was lonely. He had no friends. He roared and scared everyone away. One day, he met a little mouse. The mouse was not scared of him. The mouse said, 'Hi, lion. Do you want to be my friend?' The lion was surprised. He said, 'You are very small. How can you be my friend?' The mouse said, 'I can be your friend. I can make you laugh. I can help you when you are in trouble. I can keep you company.' The lion thought for a while. He said, 'Okay. You can be my friend. But you have to be careful. I am very big. I might hurt you by mistake.' The mouse said, 'Don't worry. I am very fast. I can dodge you.' The lion and the mouse became friends. They played and talked and had fun. The lion was not lonely anymore. He was happy." Lily says. + +"That is a nice story, Lily. Thank you. You are a good friend. I hope I get better soon. Then we can play in the park again." Tim says. + +"You are welcome, Tim. You are a good friend too. I hope you get better soon. I will call you tomorrow. Bye." Lily says. + +"Bye, Lily." Tim says. + +They hang up the phone. They smile. They miss each other. But they know they will see each other soon. They are friends. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They like to slide, run, and swing. They swing high and low, and laugh and sing. + +One day, they see a big tree near the swings. The tree has a hole in it. Anna and Ben are curious. They go to the hole and look inside. + +They find a soft paper in the hole. It has words on it. Anna and Ben can read some words, but not all. They try to read the paper. It is a message. + +The message says: "Hello, I am a squirrel. I live in this tree. I like to collect nuts and hide them in the hole. Do you like nuts? Do you want to be my friends? Please write back and put the paper in the hole. Your friend, Squirrel." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They want to be friends with the squirrel. They find a pen and write back. They write: "Hello, Squirrel. We are Anna and Ben. We like to play in the park. We like nuts too. We want to be your friends. Thank you for the message. Your friends, Anna and Ben." + +They fold the paper and put it in the hole. They hope the squirrel will read it and write back. They go back to the swings and wait for the next message. They are excited and smile. +Tom hurt his arm when he fell from the swing. He cried a lot and his mom took him to the doctor. The doctor was nice and gave him a sticker, but he said he needed to take a picture of his arm. He called it an x-ray. + +"What is an x-ray?" Tom asked. + +"It is a special machine that can see your bones," the doctor said. "It will help me know if your arm is broken or not." + +Tom was scared of the machine. It looked big and strange. He did not want to go inside it. He held his mom's hand and said no. + +"Please, Tom, it will not hurt," his mom said. "It will be very quick and then we can go home." + +But Tom did not listen. He kicked and screamed and ran away from the doctor and the machine. He hid under a table and did not come out. + +The doctor and his mom tried to find him and calm him down, but they could not. They wasted a lot of time and other people who needed x-rays had to wait. Tom was very naughty and made everyone angry and sad. + +Finally, they found him and dragged him to the machine. But it was too late. The machine was broken. Someone had spilled juice on it and it did not work anymore. The doctor said they had to go to another hospital to get an x-ray. But the other hospital was far away and there was a lot of traffic. Tom's arm hurt more and more and he felt very sick. + +He wished he had been a good boy and listened to his mom and the doctor. He wished he had done the regular x-ray and gone home. He learned a hard lesson that day. Sometimes, you need to do things you do not like to be safe and healthy. +Sara was a little girl who liked to wander. She liked to see new things and meet new people. One day, she wandered away from her home and found a big house. She knocked on the door and a friendly lady opened it. + +"Hello, little girl. What are you doing here?" the lady asked. + +"I was wandering and I saw your house. It is very pretty," Sara said. + +"Thank you. Do you want to come in and have some cookies?" the lady offered. + +Sara nodded and followed the lady inside. The house was warm and cozy. There were many candles on the tables and shelves. They smelled nice and made the house bright. + +"Here you go. Enjoy your cookies," the lady said and gave Sara a plate. + +Sara ate the cookies and thanked the lady. She liked the lady. She was kind and gentle. She told Sara stories and showed her pictures. Sara felt happy and safe. + +But then, Sara remembered her home. She remembered her mom and dad and her dog. She wondered if they were looking for her and if they were worried. She felt sad and scared. + +"Lady, I have to go home. My mom and dad and my dog are waiting for me," Sara said. + +"Of course, dear. I understand. Let me walk you to the door," the lady said. + +The lady took Sara's hand and led her to the door. She gave her a hug and a kiss and said, "Be careful, little girl. Don't wander too far from your home. Your family loves you and needs you." + +Sara nodded and said, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice. I will not wander too far again. I love my family and they love me." + +Sara waved goodbye to the lady and ran back to her home. She saw her mom and dad and her dog waiting for her. They were happy to see her and hugged her and kissed her. They asked her where she had been and she told them about the lady and the candles and the cookies. They were glad that she was safe and that she met a friendly lady. But they also told her that she should not wander away without telling them. They said that they were worried and that they could have lost her. They said that they wanted her to be happy and curious, but also careful and responsible. + +Sara said that she was sorry and that she learned her lesson. She said that she loved them and that she would not wander away again. She said that she would always tell them where she was going and when she would be back. She said that she would always listen to them and respect them. + +They said that they forgave her and that they were proud of her. They said that they loved her and that they would always be there for her. They said that they were a family and that they would always stick together. + +They hugged and kissed again and went inside their home. They lit a candle and ate some cookies. They smiled and laughed and told each other stories. They felt happy and cozy. They were a family. +Lily liked to color with her crayons. She had many colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. She made pictures of flowers, animals, and houses. She was happy when she colored. + +But one day, her brother Ben took her crayons. He was spoiled and wanted everything for himself. He broke some of the crayons and threw them on the floor. He scribbled on Lily's pictures and made them ugly. He laughed and said, "I don't like your colors. They are boring." + +Lily was sad and angry. She cried and said, "Give me back my crayons. You are mean and bad. You ruined my pictures. I don't like you." + +Mom heard Lily and Ben. She came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken crayons, the scribbled pictures, and the upset children. She was not happy. She said, "Ben, you are in trouble. You have to say sorry to Lily and fix what you did. You have to share the crayons and be nice. Lily, you can have new crayons and paper. You can make new pictures and show me. You are a good girl." + +Ben said sorry to Lily. He helped her pick up the broken crayons and throw them away. He gave her some of his stickers to put on her pictures. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I like your colors. They are pretty. Can I color with you?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. You are my brother. I love you." + +Mom hugged them both and said, "I'm proud of you. You fixed your problem. You are good children. I love you." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were happy and quiet, until Lily saw something shiny on the table. It was a bottle of glue that Mom had left there. + +Lily was nosy and wanted to see what it was. She walked to the table and picked up the bottle. She opened it and gazed at the sticky stuff inside. She thought it looked like honey. She wondered what it tasted like. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Ben asked. He saw Lily with the bottle and felt curious too. He left his car and joined her at the table. + +"I found some honey," Lily said. She put the bottle to her mouth and squeezed it. A big blob of glue came out and stuck to her lips. She made a funny face and tried to spit it out, but it was too late. The glue was all over her mouth and teeth. + +"Yuck!" Ben said. He laughed at Lily and pointed at her. "You look silly!" + +Lily felt angry and embarrassed. She wanted to get the glue off, but she couldn't. She grabbed the bottle and threw it at Ben. But she missed him and hit the vase behind him. The vase fell and broke into pieces. The water and the flowers spilled on the floor. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the glue and the broken vase. She saw Lily and Ben with scared faces. She was very mad. + +"What have you done?" Mom yelled. "You are both in big trouble! Go to your rooms right now!" + +Lily and Ben ran to their rooms and cried. They wished they had not been so nosy and played with the glue. They had ruined their toys and their fun and their mom's vase. They felt sorry and sad. They had a bad ending. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a cute dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red collar. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Anna asks Ben. + +"Sure, let's go," Ben says. They run to the dog. The dog wags its tail. It looks happy. + +"Hello, doggy," Anna says. She strokes the dog's fur. The dog licks her hand. + +"Hi, doggy," Ben says. He tries to hug the dog. The dog barks. It does not like hugs. It bites Ben's arm. + +"Ow!" Ben cries. He lets go of the dog. He sees blood on his arm. He feels pain. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Anna asks. She is scared. + +"No, it hurts," Ben says. He is sad. + +The dog's owner comes. He is angry. + +"What are you doing with my dog?" he asks. He pulls the dog away. + +"We just wanted to pet it," Anna says. She is sorry. + +"Well, you shouldn't. My dog doesn't like strangers. He needs salt for his wound," the owner says. He gives Ben a salt packet. He tells him to put it on his arm. + +"Salt?" Ben asks. He is confused. + +"Yes, salt. It helps to heal," the owner says. He is not very nice. + +Ben opens the packet. He sprinkles salt on his arm. He screams. It burns. + +"Stop, stop, it hurts more!" Ben says. He is angry. + +"Sorry, kid, but that's what you get for bothering my dog," the owner says. He is mean. + +He walks away with his dog. He does not care. + +Anna and Ben are left alone. They are sad. They regret petting the dog. They wish they had played with something else. They hug each other. They go home. They hope their arm will get better soon. They learn a lesson. They will not pet strange dogs again. +Lily and Ben love to bake with Mom. They like to mix flour, sugar, eggs and butter in a big bowl. They use a spoon and a whisk to make the batter smooth and yummy. Mom says they are very patient and good helpers. + +Today is a special day. It is a holiday. Mom says they can make cookies for the holiday. They can use cookie cutters to make shapes. Lily likes stars and Ben likes hearts. They roll out the dough and cut out the cookies. They put them on a tray and Mom puts them in the oven. + +While the cookies bake, they make icing. They mix powdered sugar, milk and food coloring in small bowls. They use red, green, blue and yellow. They can decorate the cookies with the icing when they are cool. They are excited to see how they will look. + +The oven beeps and Mom takes out the cookies.

They went to visit her grandma who was feeling sick. Lily gave her grandma a hug and a kiss, and her grandma smiled. They stayed for a little while and then went back home. Lily was happy to have visited her grandma, even though it was dark and scary at the hospital. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends named Timmy and Sammy. They loved playing together, but they wanted to do something special. Timmy had an idea: "Let's build a tent!" he said. Sammy loved the idea and they got to work right away. + +They found some sticks and blankets and built a high tent. It was perfect! They crawled inside and started playing. They played games and told stories, but then Sammy said, "I wish more of our friends could join us." + +Timmy had an idea: "Let's unite our friends and have a big sleepover in the tent!" Sammy was so happy and they went to invite their friends. Soon, they had a big group of friends all in the tent together. They laughed and played and had so much fun. It was the best sleepover ever! +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a toy box with a lock on it. One day, Lily's brother peeked inside the box and took one of her toys without asking. + +Lily noticed the toy was missing and asked her brother if he knew where it was. He said he didn't know. Lily felt sad and didn't know what to do. + +Later that day, Lily's brother felt bad for taking the toy and decided to return it. But when he tried to open the box, he realized he didn't know the lock combination. He tried and tried, but the lock wouldn't open. + +Lily was upset that her toy was still missing and her brother felt guilty for taking it. The moral of the story is that it's important to ask before taking things that don't belong to you. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play dress-up and wear costumes. One day, Lily's mom bought her a beautiful princess costume. Lily was so happy and wore it every day. + +But one day, Lily's friend came over and saw her wearing the same costume again. Her friend said, "Lily, why do you always wear that same costume? You have so many other costumes to choose from." + +Lily realized that she had been wearing the same costume every day and that it wasn't very useful to have so many costumes if she only wore one. She decided to grow up and start using all of her costumes. From then on, Lily wore a different costume every day and had so much fun pretending to be different characters. She learned that it's important to use what you have and not waste things. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and read books with her mommy. One day, Lily went to the zoo with her family. She saw a penguin and thought it was so cute! She wanted to hold it, but her mommy said she couldn't. + +Lily was sad, but then she saw a big fierce lion in another exhibit. She was scared of it, but her daddy held her hand and told her it was okay. Lily felt safe with her daddy's hold. + +After the zoo, Lily went home and drew a picture of the penguin and the lion. She showed it to her mommy and daddy and they were so proud of her. Even though she couldn't hold the penguin, she still had a fun day at the zoo and learned about fierce animals. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside and look at the trees and flowers. One day, she saw a butterfly and thought it was so pretty. She asked her mom what her opinion was about the butterfly, and her mom said she thought it was beautiful too. + +Later that day, Lily and her friends were playing a game. One of her friends wanted to change the rules, but Lily didn't think it was fair. She shared her opinion with her friends and they all agreed to keep playing by the same rules. They had so much fun and everyone was happy. + +In the end, Lily realized that it's important to look at things carefully and form your own opinion. And it's always best to be fair to everyone. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to read books, and she had a big bookcase in her room. One day, while she was playing, she accidentally knocked over the bookcase. All of the books fell to the ground and made a loud noise. + +Lily's mom heard the noise and came running into the room. "Are you okay?" she asked gently. "I'm okay, but my books aren't," Lily said sadly. "Don't worry, we'll save your books," her mom said. Together, they picked up all of the books and put them back on the bookcase. + +"Thank you, Mommy," Lily said, giving her mom a big hug. "You're welcome, sweetie," her mom said with a smile. From then on, Lily was more careful when playing around her bookcase. She knew that her mom would always be there to save her books if anything happened again. +Sara liked to ask her mom many questions. She wanted to know everything about the world. One day, she asked her mom, "What is your job, mom?" + +Her mom smiled and replied, "My job is to make beautiful things with clay. I am a potter. Do you want to see?" + +Sara nodded and followed her mom to the garage. There, she saw many pots and plates and cups of different colors and shapes. Her mom showed her how to use a wheel and a tool to shape the clay. Sara tried to make a pot, but it was hard. Her mom helped her and said, "Don't worry, it takes practice. You are doing great." + +Sara looked at her mom's work and said, "Your pots are very unique, mom. They are not like the ones in the store. They are more pretty and special." + +Her mom hugged her and replied, "Thank you, Sara. You are very unique, too. You are my sweet and curious girl. I love you very much." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a big box of animals and cars and dolls. Lily liked the penguin best. She said it was cute and soft. Ben liked the car best. He said it was fast and loud. + +They decided to make a game with the penguin and the car. They pretended that the penguin was driving the car to the zoo. They made noises and moved the toys around the floor. They had fun. + +But then Lily saw a bottle of water on the table. She had an idea. She said to Ben, "Let's pour water on the penguin. It will make him happy. He likes water." + +Ben said, "No, Lily. That's not a good idea. The penguin is not real. He is a toy. If you pour water on him, he will get wet and dirty. And mom will be mad." + +Lily did not listen to Ben. She was curious. She grabbed the bottle of water and ran to the penguin. She opened the bottle and poured water on the penguin. The water splashed on the penguin and the car and the floor. + +The penguin did not look happy. He looked sad and soggy. The car did not look fast. It looked slow and rusty. The floor did not look clean. It looked wet and slippery. + +Ben was right. It was not a good idea. Lily felt sorry. She said to Ben, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was silly. I made a mess. Can you help me clean it up?" + +Ben was not mad. He was kind. He said to Lily, "It's okay, Lily. You made a mistake. We all make mistakes. I will help you clean it up. But next time, listen to me. And don't pour water on the toys." + +They got some towels and wiped the water off the penguin and the car and the floor. They put the toys back in the box. They hugged each other and said sorry. + +Mom came in and saw them. She smiled and said, "What a good brother and sister you are. You are helping each other and saying sorry. I'm proud of you." + +Lily and Ben smiled back and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." + +They learned a lesson. They learned not to pour water on the toys. They learned to listen to each other. They learned to be kind and say sorry. They were happy. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big oak tree. It has many leaves and acorns. + +Lila and Tom want to pick some acorns. They climb the oak tree. They find some acorns on a branch. They are happy. + +But then they hear a growl. They look down. They see a big dog. It is angry. It wants the acorns too. It jumps and barks. It tries to bite the oak tree. + +Lila and Tom are scared. They hold the acorns tight. They do not want to share. They think the acorns are rare and yummy. + +But then they hear a whistle. They look again. They see a man. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog. He says sorry. He says the dog is friendly. He says the dog likes acorns too. + +Lila and Tom are relieved. They decide to be nice. They throw some acorns to the dog. The dog catches them. It wags its tail. It stops growling. + +Lila and Tom smile. They make a new friend. They share the acorns. They have fun. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big barrel near the slide. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom says. He tries to lift the lid, but it is too heavy. + +"Maybe we need a bow and arrow," Sam says. He runs to his backpack and takes out his toy bow and arrow. He aims at the lid and shoots. + +"Bang!" The arrow hits the lid and makes a loud noise. The lid pops open and a lot of water spills out. Tom and Sam get wet and laugh. + +"Wow, you are clever, Sam!" Tom says. "You opened the barrel with your bow and arrow!" + +"Thank you, Tom!" Sam says. "But look, there is something else in the barrel. It is shiny and round." + +They go closer and see a ball. It is red and yellow and has a smiley face on it. They take it out and play with it. They have fun with the barrel, the bow and arrow, and the ball. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing dress-up in their room. They had many clothes to try on, like hats, dresses, skirts, shirts, and pants. Lily found a suit that was very big and gray. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. + +"Look, Ben, I am a boss!" she said. "I sell things to people and make money." + +Ben laughed and said, "You are not a boss, Lily. You are a fat mouse in a suit. The suit is too big for you. You look funny." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like Ben's words. She said, "I am not a fat mouse, Ben. You are a mean brother. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +She took off the suit and threw it at Ben. Then she ran out of the room and slammed the door. Ben was surprised and sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily's feelings. He picked up the suit and followed her. + +"Lily, wait!" he said. "I am sorry. I was just joking. You are not a fat mouse. You are a beautiful boss. Can I play with you again?" + +Lily stopped and turned around. She saw Ben holding the suit and smiling. She smiled back and said, "OK, Ben. I forgive you. But you have to wear the suit now and let me sell you something." + +Ben agreed and put on the suit. He looked even funnier than Lily. They both laughed and hugged. Then they went back to their room and played dress-up again. They had a lot of fun selling and buying things with their toys. They forgot their fight and were happy. +Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play in the pond. They saw many fish and frogs and plants in the water. Sam was older and smarter than Ben. He knew the names of some of the plants. He told Ben that one of them was called herb. He said herb was good for you and could make you strong and healthy. + +Ben wanted to be strong and healthy too. He asked Sam how to get some herb. Sam said he had to dive into the pond and pick some from the bottom. Ben was scared of diving. He had never done it before. He thought the water was too deep and dark. He said he did not want to dive. + +Sam laughed at Ben. He said Ben was a baby and a coward. He said Ben was ignorant and did not know anything. He said he would dive and get some herb for himself. He said he would eat it and become stronger and healthier than Ben. He said Ben would be sorry. + +Sam dived into the pond. He saw the herb at the bottom. He reached for it. But he did not see the big snake that was hiding behind the herb. The snake saw Sam and bit him on the hand. Sam screamed and let go of the herb. He swam back to the surface. He was in pain and bleeding. + +Ben saw Sam and was scared. He ran to him and helped him out of the pond. He saw the snake bite and the blood. He cried and hugged Sam. He said he was sorry and he loved him. He said they had to go to mom and dad and get help. + +Sam cried too. He said he was sorry and he loved him too. He said he was stupid and mean. He said he should not have laughed at Ben and called him ignorant. He said he should have listened to Ben and not dived. He said he learned a lesson. + +The moral of the story is: do not be arrogant and rude to your siblings. Do not do things that are dangerous and foolish. Respect and love each other. Learn from your mistakes. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. They wanted to go closer and touch the water. + +"Look, Lily, the fountain is so pretty!" Sam said. + +"Yes, Sam, and the water is so powerful!" Lily said. + +They ran to the fountain and put their hands in the water. It was cold and wet. They laughed and splashed each other. + +But then a mean man came and shouted at them. + +"Hey, you kids, get away from the fountain! This is not a toy! You are making a mess!" the mean man said. + +He grabbed Sam and Lily by their arms and pulled them away from the fountain. He was very strong and angry. + +"Let us go! Let us go!" Sam and Lily cried. + +But the mean man did not listen. He took them to his car and locked them inside. He drove away very fast. + +Sam and Lily were scared and sad. They did not know where the mean man was taking them. They wished they had never touched the fountain. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were on TV and record their voices with a big microphone. They would say funny things and make silly noises and laugh a lot. + +One day, they found a letter on the table. It was from their dad, who was away for work. He said he missed them and he loved them and he would be back soon. He also said he sent them a gift in the mail. + +Tom and Lily were very happy and excited. They wanted to record a message for their dad and say thank you and we love you too. They grabbed the microphone and pressed the red button. + +"Hi, dad!" Tom said. "We got your letter and we are so happy!" + +"Hi, dad!" Lily said. "We can't wait to see your gift and hug you!" + +They talked for a while and then said goodbye. They pressed the red button again and smiled. + +They put the microphone and the letter in a box and ran to the door. They wanted to give the box to the mailman, who came every day at the same time. They thought he would take the box and send it to their dad. + +But when they opened the door, they saw a big truck. It was not the regular mailman. It was a man with a hat and a uniform. He had a lot of boxes in the back of the truck. + +He saw Tom and Lily and smiled. He said, "Hello, kids. Are you waiting for the mail?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They showed him the box and said, "This is for our dad. He is away for work. Can you take it and send it to him?" + +The man looked at the box and said, "Sure, I can do that. But I need to check what's inside first. It's the rule." + +He took the box and opened it. He saw the microphone and the letter. He said, "Oh, what's this? A microphone? And a letter? How nice. Can I listen to what you recorded?" + +Tom and Lily said, "No, please. It's for our dad. It's a surprise. Please don't listen. Please give it back." + +But the man did not listen. He pressed the red button and put the microphone to his ear. He heard Tom and Lily's voices and their message. He laughed and said, "This is so cute. And so funny. I like it. I think I'll keep it. It's a nice souvenir." + +He put the microphone in his pocket and threw the letter in the trash. He said, "Sorry, kids. I can't send this to your dad. It's mine now. Bye-bye." + +He got in the truck and drove away. He left Tom and Lily with nothing. They were very sad and angry. They cried and screamed. They wanted their microphone and their letter back. They wanted their dad to hear their message. They wanted their gift. But it was too late. The man was gone. And so was their box. The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play and laugh. They are jolly children. But they do not like to share. They want everything for themselves. + +One morning, Mom makes toast for breakfast. She puts butter and jam on the toast. She cuts the toast into four pieces. She gives two pieces to Sara and two pieces to Ben. + +"Thank you, Mom," Sara and Ben say. They start to eat their toast. They like the toast. It is yummy and warm. + +But then, Sara sees that Ben has more jam on his toast. She wants more jam too. She thinks that Ben's toast is better than hers. + +"Sara, can I have some of your butter?" Ben asks. He likes butter too. + +"No, Ben. This is my butter. You have more jam. You are greedy," Sara says. She is angry. + +"Please, Sara. Just a little bit. I will give you some of my jam," Ben says. He is sad. + +"No, Ben. Go away. This is my toast. You cannot have it," Sara says. She pushes Ben away. + +Ben cries. He does not like to be pushed. He does not like to be called greedy. He does not like to be sad. + +Mom hears Ben crying. She comes to the table. She sees Sara and Ben fighting over the toast. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. She is not happy. + +"Sara is mean. She will not share her butter. She has more toast than me," Ben says. + +"Ben is greedy. He wants my butter. He has more jam than me," Sara says. + +Mom shakes her head. She is disappointed. + +"Sara, Ben, you are both wrong. You have the same amount of toast. You have enough butter and jam. You should be grateful and kind. You should share and be jolly. That is what good children do," Mom says. + +She takes one piece of toast from Sara and one piece of toast from Ben. She swaps them. She gives Sara a piece of toast with more jam and Ben a piece of toast with more butter. + +"There. Now you both have what you want. Can you say sorry to each other and eat your toast nicely?" Mom says. + +Sara and Ben look at their toast. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They do not want to fight. They want to be jolly. + +"Sorry, Sara. I was greedy. You can have some of my butter," Ben says. + +"Sorry, Ben. I was mean. You can have some of my jam," Sara says. + +They hug each other. They smile. They eat their toast. They are jolly again. + +Mom smiles too. She is proud of Sara and Ben. She is happy. She hugs them too. + +"Good children. I love you both. Enjoy your toast," Mom says. + +The end. +Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. Sometimes they pretend to be spies or superheroes or pirates. + +One day, they find a shiny thing on the grass. It looks like a toy, but it is not. It is a gun. Sara picks it up and says, "Look, Ben, I found a new toy. It is beautiful and shiny. Let's play with it." + +Ben feels scared. He knows that guns are not toys. They are bad and dangerous. They can hurt people. He says, "No, Sara, put it down. That is not a toy. That is a gun. We should not touch it. We should tell a grown-up." + +Sara does not listen. She says, "Don't be silly, Ben. It is just a toy. It can't hurt anyone. See, I can make it go bang." She points the gun at a tree and pulls the trigger. + +A loud noise makes them jump. A hole appears in the tree. A bird flies away, scared. Sara drops the gun and starts to cry. Ben hugs her and says, "It's okay, Sara. You did not know. But you should trust me. I am your friend. I want you to be safe. Come on, let's go find a grown-up and tell them what happened." + +They run to the playground and see a lady with a badge. She is a police officer. She smiles and says, "Hello, kids. What are you doing here?" + +Sara and Ben tell her the truth. They show her the gun. They say they are sorry. The police officer says, "You did the right thing, kids. You are brave and honest. Guns are not toys. They are very dangerous. You should never touch them. You should always trust your friend. He saved you from a big trouble. You are lucky to have him." + +Sara and Ben nod. They say thank you to the police officer. They hug each other and say sorry. They promise to never play with guns again. They go back to the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They have a lot of fun. They are best friends. +Tommy liked to skip in the park with his dog. He liked to see the flowers and the birds and the bugs. He wanted to see them better, so he asked his dad for a microscope. His dad said yes, but he had to be careful with it. + +One day, Tommy took his microscope to the park. He put it on a bench and went to skip with his dog. He saw a big ant and wanted to look at it. He ran back to the bench, but his microscope was gone. He felt sad and scared. He looked around and saw a boy with his microscope. He ran to the boy and said, "That's mine! Give it back!" + +The boy looked guilty. He said, "I'm sorry. I just wanted to see it. It's so cool." He gave the microscope back to Tommy. Tommy was angry, but he saw that the boy was sorry. He said, "It's okay. But you have to ask first. Do you want to see the ant with me?" The boy nodded and smiled. They went to see the ant together. They became friends and skipped with the dog. Tommy was happy again. He learned to share and to forgive. +Jenny loves to get mail. She likes to see the pictures and letters in the envelopes. Sometimes she gets a magazine with stories and games. She thinks magazines are fun. + +One day, Jenny sees a big envelope on the table. It has her name on it. She is very happy. She opens the envelope and finds a magazine. It is a special magazine for kids who like to draw. Jenny likes to draw a lot. She looks at the magazine and sees many colors and shapes. She wants to try them. + +She runs to her room and gets her crayons and paper. She sits on the floor and starts to copy the pictures from the magazine. She makes a sun, a flower, a cat, and a house. She is very proud of her drawings. She wants to show them to her mom. + +She goes to the kitchen and finds her mom. She says, "Mom, look what I made! I got a magazine in the mail and it helped me draw. Do you like them?" + +Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "I love them, Jenny. They are very beautiful and creative. You are a great artist. Do you know who sent you the magazine?" + +Jenny shakes her head. She says, "No, who?" + +Her mom says, "It was your grandma. She knows you like to draw and she wanted to give you a gift. She wrote a note for you. It is in the envelope. It is very important. Do you want to read it?" + +Jenny nods. She says, "Yes, please. I love grandma. She is very nice." + +Her mom takes the envelope and shows her the note. It says, "Dear Jenny, I hope you enjoy this magazine. I miss you very much and I can't wait to see you soon. I love you. Grandma." + +Jenny smiles and says, "I love you too, grandma. Thank you for the magazine. It is the best mail ever." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a big box in the park. They want to make something with the box. + +"What can we make?" Lily asks. + +"Let's make a house!" Ben says. + +They work hard to cut the box and tape it. They make a door, a window, and a roof. They draw flowers and stars on the box. They are happy with their thing. + +"Look at our house! It is good!" Lily says. + +"Yes, it is good! We can play inside!" Ben says. + +They go inside the house and pretend to cook and sleep. They have fun. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is curious. He smells the box and bites it. He tears the box and makes a hole. He barks loud. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They run out of the house. + +"Go away, dog! You are bad! You broke our thing!" Lily cries. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" Ben shouts. + +The dog runs away. Lily and Ben look at their thing. It is not good anymore. It is broken and dirty. They are sad. + +They sit on the grass and hug each other. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. We worked hard to make our thing. But the dog ruined it." Ben says. + +"It's okay, Ben. We still have each other. We are friends. That is more important than a thing." Lily says. + +They smile and wipe their tears. They hold hands and walk home. + +They learn that things can break, but friendship lasts. That is a good lesson. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big thing with many colors. It was a cake. Mom had made it for their birthday. + +"Wow, look at that thing!" Tom said. "It has red and green and yellow and blue. And it smells so good!" + +Lily nodded. She wanted to taste the cake. She saw a knife on the table. She had an idea. "Let's cut a small piece of the cake. Mom won't notice. She is busy in the house." + +Tom agreed. He took the knife and cut a small piece of the cake. He gave half to Lily and kept half for himself. They ate the cake. It was very tasty. They smiled. + +But then they heard Mom's voice. "Lily, Tom, come inside. It's time to sing happy birthday and eat the cake!" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They were scared. They saw the hole in the cake. Mom would be angry. They had to cover it. They grabbed some napkins and put them on the cake. They hoped Mom wouldn't see. + +They ran inside. Mom was waiting for them with a big smile. She had a candle on the cake. She said, "Happy birthday, my sweeties! Make a wish and blow the candle!" + +Lily and Tom looked at the cake. They saw the napkins. They felt bad. They wished they hadn't eaten the cake. They wished Mom wouldn't find out. They blew the candle. + +Mom clapped her hands. She said, "Good job, my loves! Now let's cut the cake and share it with everyone!" + +She took the knife and lifted the napkins. She saw the hole in the cake. She gasped. She looked at Lily and Tom. They looked down. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We were hungry. We ate some cake. We tried to cover it. We love you." + +Mom sighed. She said, "Oh, Lily, Tom. You shouldn't have done that. That was naughty. You should have waited. You spoiled the cake. You made me sad." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We won't do it again. We love you. Please don't be sad." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, my darlings. I forgive you. But next time, be patient and polite. And don't lie to me. OK?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom. You're the best, Mom." + +Mom hugged them. She said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. You're the best, too. Now let's enjoy the cake. There's still enough for everyone. And it's still tasty." + +They all laughed. They ate the cake. They had a happy birthday. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to make up their own games. Sometimes they pretended to be animals, or pirates, or superheroes. + +"Let's be explorers!" Lily said. "We can find treasure and secrets in the house." + +"OK!" Ben agreed. "Where should we look?" + +Lily looked around and saw the fireplace. It was big and dark and had a metal screen in front of it. She wondered what was behind it. + +"Let's look in the fireplace!" she said. "Maybe there is something hidden there." + +Ben followed her to the fireplace. He was a little scared, but he wanted to be brave like his sister. They moved the screen aside and peered inside. They saw some logs, some ashes, and some shiny things. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "Look at these! They are so pretty and sparkly!" + +She reached out her hand to touch one of the shiny things. It was a metal poker that was used to stir the fire. But she did not know that. She only saw that it was shiny. + +"Ow!" she cried out. "It's hot! It hurts!" + +Ben heard her scream and ran to her side. He saw that she had burned her finger on the poker. He felt sorry for her and hugged her. + +"Are you OK?" he asked. + +Lily was crying and shaking her finger. She felt a lot of pain. + +"No, it's not OK!" she said. "It's bad! It's very bad!" + +She wanted her mommy and daddy to come and help her. But they were not in the living room. They were in the kitchen, making dinner. They did not hear Lily and Ben, because they were too quiet. + +The end. +Sara and Ben were twins who loved to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big tree with many green and yellow fruits. They were pears, and they looked very yummy. + +"Let's pick some pears, Ben!" Sara said, excited. She ran to the tree and tried to reach a fruit, but it was too high. + +"Wait, Sara, we need a ladder!" Ben said, urge. He ran to the shed and got a small ladder. He brought it to the tree and put it against the trunk. + +"Good job, Ben!" Sara said, happy. She climbed the ladder and picked a pear. She smelled it and took a bite. It was sweet and juicy. + +"Mmm, this is good!" Sara said, smile. She gave a pear to Ben and he climbed the ladder too. He also bit the pear and smiled. + +They ate some more pears and filled a basket with them. They decided to share them with their mom and dad, who were inside the house. + +"Look, mom, look, dad, we picked some pears!" Sara and Ben said, proud. They showed their basket to their parents, who praised them and thanked them. + +They all sat at the table and enjoyed the pears together. Sara and Ben were happy and full. They had a fun and tasty adventure in the garden. +Lily loves books. She likes to look at the pictures and listen to the stories. She is excited when Mom says they are going to the library today. She puts on her coat and hat and holds Mom's hand. + +They walk to the library and see a big door. Mom pushes the door and they go inside. Lily sees many books on the shelves. She also sees some children sitting on a carpet. They are listening to a lady who is reading a book. Lily wants to join them. + +"Can we sit there, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, honey. Let's find a spot." Mom says. They walk to the carpet and sit down. The lady smiles at them and says hello. She is holding a book with a picture of a bell on the cover. + +"This book is called The Bell That Rang," the lady says. "It is about a bell that rings every time something good happens. Do you want to hear the story?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and the other children say. + +The lady opens the book and starts to read. Lily listens carefully. She likes the sound of the bell. She wonders what good things will happen in the story. She is happy to be at the library. +Sam and Mia went on a safari with their mom and dad. They saw many big animals, like lions, elephants, and giraffes. Sam and Mia liked to look at them and learn their names. + +One day, they saw a zebra with black and white stripes. Sam and Mia wanted to pet it, but their mom said no. + +"Zebras can bite, and it can hurt. You have to stay in the car and be alert," she said. + +But Sam and Mia did not listen. They opened the door and ran to the zebra. The zebra saw them and got scared. It kicked and bit Sam on his arm. Sam cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The zebra bit me!" he said. + +Mia ran back to the car and told their mom and dad. They came out and helped Sam. They put a bandage on his arm and gave him a hug. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. Are you okay?" Mia said. + +Sam nodded and said, "I'm okay, but it still hurts. I'm sorry, too. I should have listened to mom." + +Mom and dad said, "We're glad you're okay, Sam. But you have to be careful and follow the rules on a safari. The animals are not toys, they are wild and can be dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Mia said, "Yes, we understand. We won't do it again." + +Mom and dad said, "Good. Now let's go and see some more animals. But this time, stay in the car and be alert, okay?" + +Sam and Mia said, "Okay!" and smiled. They learned their lesson and enjoyed the rest of the safari. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play and share. One day, they find a big cookie in the kitchen. It smells good and looks yummy. They want to eat the cookie, but it is too big for them. + +They think of a way to solve the problem. They get a knife and a plate. They cut the cookie into two pieces. One piece for Tom and one piece for Lily. They are happy and say thank you to each other. + +But then, they hear a loud roar. It is Max, the big dog. He is hungry and he sees the cookie. He runs to the kitchen and jumps on the table. He wants to eat the cookie, too. He is powerful and scary. + +Tom and Lily are afraid. They do not want to lose their cookie. They do not want to fight with Max. They think of another way to solve the problem. They get another plate and another knife. They cut their pieces of cookie into smaller pieces. They give some pieces to Max and keep some pieces for themselves. + +Max is happy and wags his tail. He eats the cookie and licks his lips. He is not hungry and scary anymore. He is friendly and playful. He joins Tom and Lily on the floor. They play and share. They are all happy and say thank you to each other. They solved the problem with the cookie. +Tom and Lily were very happy. They were going on a holiday with their mum and dad. They packed their bags with toys and clothes. They said goodbye to their dog and got in the car. + +"Where are we going, mum?" Tom asked. + +"We are going to the beach, Tom. We will see the sea and the sand and the sun," mum said. + +"I love the beach, mum. Can I hold your hand?" Lily said. + +"Of course, Lily. You can hold my hand. We will walk on the sand and make castles and look for shells," mum said. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They liked holding mum's hand. They felt safe and warm. + +They drove for a long time. They saw many things on the way. They saw cows and sheep and trees and houses. They sang songs and played games. They were not bored. + +They arrived at the beach. They got out of the car and ran to the water. They saw the waves and the boats and the birds. They heard the sound of the sea and the wind. They smelled the salt and the fish. + +They met a boy and a girl. They were playing with a ball. They asked Tom and Lily to join them. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. This is my sister, Anna. Do you want to play with us?" Ben said. + +"Hi, I'm Tom. This is my sister, Lily. Yes, we want to play with you," Tom said. + +They played with the ball. They threw it and caught it and kicked it. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, a big boy came. He was older and taller and meaner. He took the ball and ran away. He shouted at them. + +"Ha ha, this is my ball now. You can't have it. You are stupid and ignorant. Go away," he said. + +Tom and Lily and Ben and Anna were sad and angry. They did not like the big boy. He was rude and selfish. He did not share. He did not know how to be nice. + +They ran after him. They tried to get the ball back. They shouted at him. + +"Hey, give us our ball. That is not yours. You are mean and ignorant. Give it back," they said. + +But the big boy did not listen. He did not care. He kept the ball and ran away. + +Tom and Lily and Ben and Anna did not give up. They followed him. They saw him go to a big house. They saw his mum and dad. They were sitting on chairs. They were reading books. They did not see the big boy. + +Tom and Lily and Ben and Anna had an idea. They knocked on the door. They told the mum and dad what happened. They asked for their ball back. + +"Hello, we are Tom and Lily and Ben and Anna. We are on holiday. We were playing with our ball on the beach. But your son took it and ran away. He was mean and ignorant. He did not share. He did not say sorry. Can we have our ball back, please?" they said. + +The mum and dad were surprised and ashamed. They did not know what their son did. They did not teach him how to be nice. They were ignorant too. + +They called their son. They scolded him. They made him give the ball back. They made him say sorry. + +"Sorry, Tom and Lily and Ben and Anna. I was mean and ignorant. I should not have taken your ball. I should have shared. I should have been nice. Can you forgive me?" he said. + +Tom and Lily and Ben and Anna were kind and generous. They forgave him. They asked him to play with them. They gave him a chance. + +"OK, we forgive you. You can play with us. But you have to be nice. You have to share. You have to say please and thank you. Do you understand?" they said. + +The big boy nodded. He understood. He wanted to be nice. He wanted to have friends. He wanted to have fun. + +They played with the ball. They threw it and caught it and kicked it. They laughed and had fun. + +They held hands. They felt happy and friendly. + +They learned a lesson. They learned how to be nice and how not to be ignorant. They learned how to share and how to care. + +They had a good holiday. They made new friends. They enjoyed the beach. They loved the sea and the sand and the sun. +Anna and Ben were playing with clay in the garden. They liked to make different shapes and animals with the soft and sticky clay. Anna made a clay cat with a long tail and whiskers. Ben made a clay dog with floppy ears and a wagging tail. + +"Look at my cat!" Anna said, showing her clay cat to Ben. "She is furry and nice. Do you like her?" + +"Yes, she is very nice," Ben said, looking at Anna's clay cat. "But my dog is better. He is furry and brave. He can bark and run fast. Do you like him?" + +Anna looked at Ben's clay dog. She thought it was nice too, but she liked her cat more. She did not want to hurt Ben's feelings, so she said, "Yes, he is very nice too. But I like cats more than dogs. They are quieter and softer." + +Ben felt a little sad. He liked dogs more than cats. They were more fun and loyal. He wished Anna would like his clay dog more. He did not know what to say. + +Then, they heard a voice from the house. It was their mom, calling them for lunch. "Anna, Ben, come inside! It's time to eat!" + +Anna and Ben put their clay animals on a tray and carried them inside. They did not want to leave them in the garden. They wanted to keep them and play with them later. + +As they walked inside, Anna saw that Ben was still sad. She wanted to make him happy. She thought of something to say. She smiled and said, "Ben, your clay dog is very good. You are very good at making clay animals. You should make more. I will encourage you." + +Ben smiled back. He felt better. He liked that Anna encouraged him. He said, "Thank you, Anna. Your clay cat is very good too. You are very good at making clay animals too. You should make more. I will encourage you too." + +Anna and Ben hugged each other. They were happy. They liked their clay animals and they liked each other. They went inside to eat their lunch. They decided to make more clay animals after lunch. They encouraged each other to be creative and have fun. +Sara loved horses. She wanted to see them every day. She asked her mom to take her to the stable. Mom said yes. + +At the stable, Sara saw many horses. They were big and strong and beautiful. She wanted to touch them and talk to them. Mom said she could, but she had to be careful and gentle. + +Sara saw a brown horse with a white star on its forehead. She liked him very much. She went to him and said hello. The horse looked at her and neighed softly. Sara smiled and stroked his nose. She said, "You are a gifted horse. You are very smart and pretty. What is your name?" + +The horse nodded and said, "My name is Star. I am a gifted horse. I can run fast and jump high. I like you. You are very kind and sweet. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Sara was very happy. She said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. Can I give you a hug?" Star said yes and bent his head. Sara hugged him and kissed him. She said, "You are the best horse ever. I love you, Star." + +Mom watched them and smiled. She was glad that Sara found a friend. She said, "Sara, it's time to go. We have to say goodbye to Star. But we can come back another day." + +Sara said, "Okay, Mom. But can I do one more thing?" Mom said, "What is it?" Sara said, "Can I spray Star with water? He is very hot and sweaty. I want to make him cool and clean." + +Mom said, "Sure, you can. But you have to ask Star first. And you have to be gentle and not spray his eyes or ears." Sara said, "Okay, Mom. I will." She went to Star and asked him, "Star, can I spray you with water? It will make you feel good." Star said, "Yes, you can. I like water. It will make me feel good." + +Sara took a hose and sprayed Star with water. She was careful and gentle. She sprayed his back and his legs and his tail. Star enjoyed the water. He shook his mane and snorted. He said, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. You make me feel good." + +Sara said, "You're welcome, Star. You are a good friend too. You make me happy." She gave him one more hug and said goodbye. She said, "I will see you soon, Star. I will miss you." Star said, "I will see you soon, Sara. I will miss you too." + +Sara and Mom left the stable. They waved to Star and the other horses. Sara said, "Mom, I had a lot of fun today. I love Star. He is a gifted horse. And I am a gifted girl. Because I have a horse friend." Mom said, "Yes, you are, Sara. And I am a gifted mom. Because I have a horse-loving daughter." They hugged and smiled. They were happy. +Lily was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her toys and her cat. One day, she got an invitation in the mail. It was from Sam, a boy in her class. He invited her to his birthday party. + +Lily was scared. She did not know Sam very well. She did not want to go to his party. She showed the invitation to her mom. + +"Look, Lily, you got an invitation from Sam. He wants you to come to his party. That is very nice of him. Do you want to go?" her mom asked. + +Lily shook her head. She hid behind her mom. + +"No, I don't want to go. I don't know him. I don't know anyone. I am shy," she said. + +Her mom hugged her. + +"I know, Lily, you are shy. But sometimes it is good to try new things. Maybe you will make new friends. Maybe you will have fun. You can bring your favorite toy with you. And I will be there with you. What do you think?" her mom said. + +Lily thought for a while. She remembered that Sam was nice to her at school. He shared his crayons with her. He smiled at her. He liked cats too. Maybe he was not so bad. Maybe his party was not so scary. Maybe she could go. + +"Okay, mom, I will go. But can I bring my cat too?" she asked. + +Her mom smiled. + +"Sure, Lily, you can bring your cat too. But you have to ask Sam first. Maybe he has a cat too. Or maybe he is allergic to cats. You have to be polite," her mom said. + +Lily nodded. She picked up the phone and called Sam. + +"Hi, Sam, this is Lily. Thank you for the invitation. I will come to your party. But can I bring my cat too?" she asked. + +Sam was happy. He liked Lily. He liked cats too. He had a cat named Fluffy. + +"Hi, Lily, I am glad you will come to my party. Yes, you can bring your cat too. I have a cat too. His name is Fluffy. Maybe they can be friends. See you soon, Lily," he said. + +Lily smiled. She was still shy. But she was also excited. She was going to Sam's party. She was going to bring her cat. She was going to make new friends. She was going to have fun. She was proud of herself. She remembered that sometimes it is good to try new things. +Jen and Sam were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big wind. The wind was blowing the trees and the cars and the houses. Jen and Sam were scared. + +"Mom, what is that?" Jen asked. + +"That is a hurricane, sweetie. It is a very rare and strong wind. We have to go to the basement now. It is not safe here," Mom said. + +Mom grabbed Jen and Sam by the hand and ran to the basement. She closed the door behind them. They heard more noises. They heard things breaking and crashing. They hugged each other. + +"Will the hurricane go away, Mom?" Sam asked. + +"I hope so, honey. I hope so," Mom said. + +But the hurricane did not go away. It stayed for a long time. It destroyed everything. It destroyed Jen and Sam's toys. It destroyed their living room. It destroyed their house. It destroyed their street. It destroyed their town. Jen and Sam and Mom had nowhere to go. They were very sad. The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the big room. They liked to jump on the mattress and make funny noises. They pretended they were frogs and lions and birds. + +But then they heard a loud knock on the door. They stopped jumping and looked at each other. They felt fearful. Who could it be? They did not want to open the door. + +"Who is there?" Lily asked in a small voice. + +"It is me, your uncle Bob. I came to visit you and bring you some cookies. Can you open the door, please?" the voice said. + +Lily and Tom did not know uncle Bob. They had never seen him before. They did not want to eat his cookies. They did not trust him. + +They ran to the corner of the room and hid behind the mattress. They hoped he would go away. + +"Come on, kids, don't be shy. I am your uncle Bob. I am a nice man. I want to play with you and give you some cookies. Open the door, please." the voice said again. + +Lily and Tom did not answer. They hugged each other and stayed quiet. They wished their mom and dad would come back soon. They were very fearful. +Sara and Ben are twins who love to play outside. One day, they see a big puddle in the park. They run to the puddle and jump in it. They splash and laugh and make waves. + +"Look, Sara, a bird!" Ben says, pointing to the sky. Sara looks up and sees a white bird with long wings. It flies high and fast, like a rocket. + +"Wow, Ben, it can soar!" Sara says, admiring the bird. "I wish I could soar like that." + +"Me too, Sara. Maybe we can pretend to be birds. Let's flap our arms and make bird sounds." Ben says, flapping his arms and chirping. + +"Okay, Ben. Let's soar!" Sara says, flapping her arms and squawking. + +They run around the puddle, flapping and chirping and squawking. They pretend to be birds who can soar. They have fun and forget about the puddle. + +But then, a modest man walks by. He is wearing a nice suit and a hat. He does not see the puddle or the twins. He steps into the puddle and gets wet. He is surprised and angry. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing? You made me wet and dirty!" He shouts at Sara and Ben. + +Sara and Ben stop flapping and chirping and squawking. They look at the man and feel sorry. + +"We are sorry, mister. We did not see you. We were playing birds who can soar." Sara says, in a small voice. + +"Yeah, we were having fun. We did not mean to make you wet and dirty." Ben says, in a small voice. + +The man looks at Sara and Ben. He sees their innocent faces and their wet clothes. He remembers when he was a kid who liked to play outside. He softens his voice and smiles. + +"It's okay, kids. I was a kid once too. I liked to play birds who can soar. But you have to be careful and watch where you are going. And you have to say sorry when you make a mistake." He says, kindly. + +"We are sorry, mister. We will be careful and watch where we are going. And we will say sorry when we make a mistake." Sara and Ben say, together. + +"Good. Now, go on and have fun. But don't forget to dry off and change your clothes. And maybe next time, find a bigger puddle to play in." He says, waving goodbye. + +"Thank you, mister. Goodbye." Sara and Ben say, waving back. + +They run to their mom, who is waiting for them. They tell her what happened and how they said sorry. She hugs them and tells them she is proud of them. She gives them towels and dry clothes. They change and feel warm and cozy. + +They look at the sky and see the bird again. It is still soaring. They smile and think that maybe one day, they will soar too. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big plant with red and yellow flowers. Lily liked the flowers. She wanted to pick one and give it to her mom. + +"Can I have a piece of the flower?" she asked Tom. + +"No, you can't," Tom said. "The plant needs the flowers to grow. If you take a piece, the plant will be sad." + +Lily was sad too. She did not want to make the plant sad. She looked around and saw a basket of apples on the table. She had an idea. + +"Can I have a piece of the apple?" she asked Tom. + +"Yes, you can," Tom said. "The apple is good for you. It will make you strong and healthy." + +Lily smiled. She took a piece of the apple and bit it. It was sweet and juicy. She gave another piece to Tom. They both ate the apple and felt happy. + +The plant saw Lily and Tom eating the apple. It was happy too. It was not hungry anymore. It had made its own food from the sun and the water. It thanked Lily and Tom for leaving its flowers alone. + +"Thank you, Lily and Tom," the plant said. "You are very kind and smart. I will grow more flowers for you to see." + +Lily and Tom heard the plant. They were surprised and amazed. They ran to the plant and hugged it. + +"Thank you, plant," they said. "You are very beautiful and generous. We will come back and visit you again." +Tim and Mia like to play with the board. The board is big and round and has colors on it. They can spin the board and see what color it stops on. They take turns to spin the board and say the color. + +One day, they see a tall man in the park. He has a big bag and a hat. He smiles at them and says he wants to play with them. He says he has a new board in his bag that is more fun. He asks them to follow him to his car. + +Tim and Mia are curious and excited. They want to see the new board. They follow the tall man to his car. He opens his bag and shows them the board. It is small and square and has numbers on it. He says they can spin the board and win prizes. + +Tim and Mia think the board looks boring. They want to go back to their board. They say no thank you to the tall man. But the tall man is angry. He grabs them and puts them in his car. He locks the door and drives away. He says they have to play with his board or he will hurt them. + +Tim and Mia are scared and sad. They cry and scream for help. They wish they did not follow the tall man. They wish they stayed with their board. They do not know where the tall man is taking them. They do not know if they will ever see their board again. +Lily liked to whistle. She whistled when she was happy, when she was sad, when she was bored. She whistled all the time. But her big brother Tom did not like her whistling. He said it was too loud and annoying. He said she should stop. + +One day, Lily found a pair of shoes in the closet. They were shiny and red and had a fake bird on them. Lily thought they were pretty. She put them on and started to whistle. She felt like a princess. + +Tom heard her whistling and came to see. He saw her shoes and got angry. He said they were his shoes. He said they were a gift from Grandma. He said she had to give them back. + +Lily did not want to give them back. She said they were her shoes. She said she found them first. She said they were too big for him. She kept whistling. + +Tom tried to grab the shoes from her feet. Lily kicked him away. They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They made a big mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see. She saw them fighting and the shoes and the mess. She was not happy.

They said sorry. They hugged. They agreed to take turns with the shoes. They whistled together. Mom smiled. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a grill. The grill was old and rusty, but their dad sometimes used it to make burgers and hot dogs. + +One day, Tim and Sam saw a big truck stop in front of their neighbor's house. The truck had a picture of a shiny new grill on it. The neighbor came out and smiled as the truck driver gave him the grill. + +"Wow, look at that grill!" Tim said. "It has four burners and a lid and a thermometer. It is much better than our grill." + +Sam nodded. He felt envious of the neighbor. He wished they had a new grill too. + +"Maybe we can ask dad to replace our grill," he said. + +They ran inside and found their dad in the kitchen. He was making sandwiches for lunch. + +"Dad, dad, can we get a new grill?" Tim asked. + +"A new grill? Why do you want a new grill?" dad asked. + +"Because the neighbor has a new grill and it is awesome," Sam said. + +Dad looked out the window and saw the neighbor's grill. He smiled and shook his head. + +"Boys, boys, you don't need a new grill. Our grill works just fine. It may be old and rusty, but it has a lot of memories. Remember when we grilled marshmallows and sang songs? Remember when we invited grandma and grandpa for a barbecue? Remember when we made pizza on the grill?" + +Tim and Sam thought about those times. They remembered how much fun they had with their dad and their family. They realized that their grill was special to them. + +"You're right, dad," Tim said. "Our grill is great. We don't need a new grill." + +Sam agreed. He hugged his dad and said, "We love our grill and we love you, dad." + +Dad hugged them back and said, "I love you too, boys. Now, how about we go outside and grill some cheese sandwiches?" + +Tim and Sam cheered and followed their dad to the yard. They forgot about the neighbor's grill and enjoyed their lunch on their old and rusty grill. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. But the park has a big fence. The fence says "No kids allowed". Lily and Tom want to see what is behind the fence. They think it is a secret place. + +One day, they see a hole in the fence. They look at each other and smile. They crawl through the hole and enter the secret place. It is a farm. There are many animals. Lily and Tom are happy. They run and touch the animals. They make noises like the animals. + +But the farmer is not happy. He hears the noises and sees the kids. He is angry. He runs to the kids and shouts. "Hey, you! Get out of my farm! You are not allowed here! You are noisy and you scare my animals! I will punish you!" + +Lily and Tom are scared. They cry and say sorry. They run back to the hole and crawl through the fence. They run to their moms and hug them. They tell them what happened. Their moms are not happy. They say "You were naughty. You did not listen to the fence. You could have been hurt by the animals or the farmer. You are punished. No park for a week." + +Lily and Tom are sad. They say sorry again. They learn their lesson. They do not go near the fence again. They play with other toys and games. They wait for a week to go back to the park. They hope the farmer is not angry anymore. They hope the animals are not scared anymore. They hope the fence is fixed. They hope they can still be friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings. They go up and down, up and down. They laugh and shout. + +"Look at me, Lily! I am so high!" Ben says. + +"Me too, Ben! I can touch the sky!" Lily says. + +They swing for a long time. They have fun. + +But then, Lily feels sick. Her tummy hurts. She stops swinging. She looks pale. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asks. + +"No, Ben. I don't feel good. I ate too much pasta for lunch. It was yummy, but now I feel yucky." Lily says. + +"Poor Lily. Do you want to go home?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, Ben. I want to go home. I want to lie down. I want to drink some water." Lily says. + +Ben helps Lily get off the swing. He holds her hand. They walk to Lily's house. Lily's mom opens the door. She sees Lily's pale face. + +"What's wrong, Lily?" Lily's mom asks. + +"I ate too much pasta, mom. I feel sick." Lily says. + +"Oh, Lily. I'm sorry. Come inside. I'll take care of you." Lily's mom says. + +She hugs Lily and Ben. She thanks Ben for being a good friend. She takes Lily to her bed. She gives her some water and a kiss. + +Ben waves goodbye. He hopes Lily will feel better soon. He likes to swing with Lily. He likes to play with Lily. He likes to be Lily's friend. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill near their town. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom says. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"OK, Tom!" Lily says. "But we have to be careful. The hill is steep and high." + +They hold hands and start to climb. They go up and up. They see trees and flowers and birds. They hear the wind and the water. They feel happy and excited. + +They reach the top of the hill. They look around. They see a big lake with a cute boat. They see a small house with a nice garden. They see a friendly dog with a wagging tail. + +"Wow, Tom!" Lily says. "This is so pretty! Can we go and say hello to the dog?" + +"Sure, Lily!" Tom says. "But we have to ask the people in the house first. Maybe they are the dog's owners." + +They go down the hill and walk to the house. They knock on the door. A woman opens it. She smiles and says, "Hello, children! What are you doing here?" + +"We climbed the hill and saw your lake and your boat and your dog," Lily says. "Can we play with your dog, please? He is so cute!" + +"Of course, you can," the woman says. "His name is Spot. He loves to play. But you have to be gentle with him. And you have to tell me your names and where you live. I don't want you to get lost." + +Lily and Tom tell the woman their names and their town. They thank her and go to play with Spot. They have a lot of fun. They throw sticks and balls and Spot fetches them. They pet him and hug him and he licks them. + +They play until the sun starts to set. Then they say goodbye to the woman and Spot. They promise to come back another day. They climb the hill again and go back to their town. They are tired but happy. They have a new friend. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a large yard with many grass and flowers. One day, they saw a big truck stop near their house. The truck had a sign that said "We remove grass and dirt". Tim and Sam were curious and went to see what the truck was doing. + +The truck had a big machine that made a loud noise. The machine had a long arm with a big claw. The claw grabbed the grass and dirt and put it in the back of the truck. Tim and Sam watched as the machine moved closer and closer to their yard. They saw the machine remove the grass and dirt from their neighbor's yard, and then from their own yard. + +Tim and Sam were scared and angry. They liked their grass and flowers. They did not want the machine to take them away. They ran to the truck and shouted at the man who was driving it. "Stop! Stop! You are taking our grass and flowers! We want them back!" + +The man did not hear them. He was busy looking at his phone. He did not see Tim and Sam running in front of the truck. He did not see the machine moving towards them. He did not see the claw grabbing them. He did not see the truck driving away with them. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the sand near the sea. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They also liked to look for shells and crabs. Sometimes they saw fish and dolphins in the water. + +"Look, Tom, I found a small shark!" Lily said, holding a toy shark in her hand. "It is gray and has sharp teeth. Do you want to play with it?" + +Tom looked at the toy shark and shook his head. "No, thank you, Lily. I don't like sharks. They are scary and mean. They can bite and hurt you. I like dolphins. They are friendly and smart. They can jump and make sounds." + +Lily frowned. She liked sharks. She thought they were cool and strong. She wanted to play with her toy shark. She had an idea. "Tom, do you know what happens if you put a shark in the water?" she asked. + +Tom shrugged. "No, what happens?" + +Lily smiled. "It grows! It grows bigger and bigger until it is as big as a boat. Then it can swim fast and eat anything it wants. Do you want to see?" + +Tom's eyes widened. He was curious and afraid. He wanted to see, but he also wanted to run away. He didn't know what to do. He looked at Lily and the toy shark. He looked at the sea and the waves. He looked at his dolphin and his castle. He said, "No, Lily, I don't want to see. I want to play with my dolphin and my castle. You can play with your shark, but don't put it in the water. Please." + +Lily sighed. She put the toy shark in her pocket. She said, "Okay, Tom, I won't put it in the water. I will play with you and your dolphin and your castle. But maybe one day, I will find a real shark and put it in the water and see it grow. Then you will see how awesome sharks are." + +Tom nodded. He hoped Lily would never find a real shark. He hoped they would always play together and have fun. He said, "Okay, Lily, maybe one day. But not today. Today, let's play and have fun." +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a big box of wool in Lila's room. The wool is soft and colorful. Lila and Ben want to make something with the wool. + +"Let's make hats and scarves," Lila says. "We can wear them and dance." + +"OK," Ben says. "But how do we make them?" + +Lila shows Ben how to wrap the wool around their fingers and tie knots. They make hats and scarves of different colors. They put them on and look at themselves in the mirror. + +"We look funny," Ben says. "But I like it." + +"Me too," Lila says. "Let's dance." + +They turn on the music and dance around the room. They jump and spin and laugh. They have fun. + +But Lila's cat, Milo, is nosy. He sees the wool and wants to play with it. He sneaks into the room and jumps on the box. He pulls out the wool and chases it. He makes a big mess. + +Lila and Ben hear a noise. They stop dancing and look at Milo. + +"Milo, no!" Lila says. "That's our wool!" + +Milo looks at them and meows. He does not care. He likes the wool. + +Lila and Ben run to the box and try to save their wool. But it is too late. The wool is tangled and torn. They are sad. + +"Milo, you are naughty," Ben says. "You ruined our wool." + +Lila picks up Milo and hugs him. She is not angry. She loves her cat. + +"It's OK," she says. "We can get more wool. And we can still dance." + +She puts Milo down and takes Ben's hand. They turn on the music again and dance. They are happy. +Tim and Jen like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two cones for the goal. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. They have a lot of fun. + +One day, a big dog runs into the park. He sees the ball and wants to play too. He chases the ball and grabs it with his teeth. He runs away with the ball and does not give it back. Tim and Jen are sad. They want their ball back. + +They run after the dog and call him. The dog thinks they want to play more. He runs faster and faster. He does not see a tree in front of him. He hits the tree and drops the ball. The ball is broken. It has a big hole and no air. The dog is sorry. He wags his tail and licks Tim and Jen. + +Tim and Jen are not mad at the dog. They know he did not mean to break their ball. They pet the dog and say it is okay. They find another ball in the park. It is smaller and softer, but it still works. They make a new goal with their cones and play soccer again. The dog watches them and barks. He thinks they are funny. They have fun. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a special song that they sang together. It was a silly song about a monkey and a banana. They made up the words and the tune. + +One day, Ben had to move to another town with his family. He was very sad. He gave Anna a hug and said, "I will miss you, Anna. You are my best friend. Don't forget our song, okay?" + +Anna nodded and said, "I will miss you too, Ben. You are my best friend. I will always remember our song, okay?" + +They said goodbye and waved to each other. Anna watched Ben get in the car and drive away. She felt a big lump in her throat. She wanted to cry, but she didn't. She sang their song softly to herself. She hoped Ben could hear it. + +The next day, Anna went to the park alone. She felt lonely and bored. She wished Ben was there to play with her. She saw some other kids on the swings and the slide. They looked happy and fun. She wanted to join them, but she was shy. She didn't know them. She sat on a bench and looked at the ground. + +Then, she heard a familiar voice. It was Ben! He was singing their song! She looked up and saw him running towards her. He had a big smile on his face. He said, "Surprise, Anna! I'm back! We didn't move after all. It was a mistake. I'm so happy to see you!" + +Anna jumped up and hugged him. She was so happy to see him too. She said, "Wow, Ben! This is the best surprise ever! I'm so happy you're back! I thought I lost you!" + +They laughed and sang their song together. They played in the park all day. They felt like nothing had changed. They were still best friends. They had a special song that no one else knew. It was an ordinary song, but it was their song. And they would always remember it. +Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a cane to hold and a carrot for a nose. They were very happy. + +"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Anna said. + +"Yes, he is. But he must be cold. He has no coat," Ben said. + +They looked around and saw a big red coat on a bench. It belonged to an old lady who was feeding the birds. Anna and Ben ran to the bench and took the coat. + +"Let's give it to our snowman. He will be warm and cozy," Anna said. + +They put the coat on the snowman and buttoned it up. They smiled and hugged the snowman. + +"Thank you, kids. You are very sweet," the snowman said. + +Anna and Ben were surprised. They did not know the snowman could talk. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman. How are you?" Ben asked. + +"I'm fine, thanks to you. You are very kind. But you should not take things that are not yours. That coat belongs to the old lady. She will be cold and sad," the snowman said. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They did not mean to hurt the old lady. They took the coat off the snowman and ran back to the bench. They put the coat on the old lady and said sorry. + +"Please forgive us, ma'am. We wanted to help the snowman. We did not know the coat was yours," Anna said. + +The old lady smiled. She was not angry. She was glad the kids were honest and caring. + +"It's all right, dear. I understand. You have good hearts. But next time, ask before you take something. And don't worry about the snowman. He has a hat and a scarf and a cane. He will be fine," the old lady said. + +She gave them each a cookie. They were warm and sweet. Anna and Ben thanked her and hugged her. They went back to the snowman and said goodbye. + +"Goodbye, Mr. Snowman. Thank you for talking to us. You are very nice," Ben said. + +"Goodbye, kids. Thank you for making me and for giving me the coat. You are very nice, too," the snowman said. + +Anna and Ben waved and ran home. They were happy and proud. They had made a new friend and learned a lesson. They shivered a little, but they felt warm inside. +Tim and Sam were playing hide and seek in the park. Tim was the seeker and Sam was the hider. Sam ran behind a big tree and waited for Tim to find him. He felt an urge to peek out and see where Tim was, but he knew he had to stay still and quiet. + +Tim looked around the park, trying to spot Sam. He saw a bush, a bench, a slide, but no Sam. He wondered where Sam could be. He walked towards the big tree, hoping to catch Sam there. He said out loud, "Sam, where are you? I can't find you!" + +Sam heard Tim's voice and smiled. He thought he had found a good hiding spot. He decided to tease Tim a little and make a funny noise. He opened his mouth and said, "Boo!" + +Tim heard the noise and turned around. He saw Sam's face behind the tree and laughed. He ran towards Sam and said, "I found you! You are not very good at hiding!" + +Sam came out from behind the tree and said, "Yes, you did! But you are not very good at seeking!" + +They both giggled and hugged. They were happy to play together. They did not notice a man who was watching them from a distance. He had a big bag and a mean look. He was looking for something to steal. He saw Tim and Sam's bikes near the fence. They were careless and did not lock them. He thought he could take them and sell them for money. He waited for Tim and Sam to be distracted and then he walked towards the bikes. He grabbed them and put them in his bag. He ran away as fast as he could. He vanished from the park. + +Tim and Sam finished their game and decided to go home. They walked towards the fence and looked for their bikes. They could not find them. They felt confused and scared. They said to each other, "Where are our bikes? Who took them? What do we do?" + +They did not know that their bikes were gone because of a bad man. They did not know that they should have been more careful. They did not know that they had to ask for help. They only knew that they were sad and lost. They wished they had their bikes back. +Lily and Tom are playing hide and seek in the park. Lily is the seeker and Tom is the hider. Lily closes her eyes and counts to ten. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. She opens her eyes and says, "Ready or not, here I come!" + +She looks around the park for Tom. She sees a big tree, a slide, a swing, a bench, and a pond. Where is Tom hiding? She walks to the big tree and looks behind it. No Tom. She walks to the slide and looks under it. No Tom. She walks to the swing and looks on it. No Tom. She walks to the bench and looks over it. No Tom. She walks to the pond and looks in it. No Tom. + +She is puzzled. Where can Tom be? She hears a giggle from behind a bush. She runs to the bush and pulls it apart. She sees Tom hiding there. He smiles and says, "You found me!" Lily laughs and says, "Yes, I did! You are a good hider, Tom!" + +But then they hear a loud roar from the other side of the park. They turn and see a big, scary lion coming towards them. They are frightened. They scream and run away from the lion. They run to the gate and see their mom and dad waiting for them. They hug them and tell them about the lion. + +Their mom and dad look at the park and see the lion. They are not frightened. They are amused. They say, "That is not a real lion, Lily and Tom. That is a man in a lion costume. He is part of a circus that is visiting the park. He is not going to hurt you. He is just playing with you." + +Lily and Tom look at the lion again. They see that he is waving and smiling at them. He is not a real lion. He is a man in a lion costume. They feel silly and relieved. They wave and smile back at him. They say, "Sorry, Mr. Lion. We thought you were a real lion. You are a good actor, Mr. Lion!" + +The end. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. But one day, the sky was dull and grey. It started to rain. Lily and Ben ran to the big tree. + +"Let's stay here until the rain stops," Ben said. + +"But I want to go home," Lily said. "I don't like the rain. It makes me wet and cold." + +"Me too," Ben said. "But we can't go home now. The road is too far and too wet. We have to wait." + +Lily and Ben sat under the tree. They were bored and sad. They had nothing to do. They missed their moms and dads. + +"Maybe we can pray," Lily said. "Maybe God will make the rain go away." + +"Okay," Ben said. "Let's pray." + +Lily and Ben closed their eyes. They folded their hands. They prayed in their hearts. + +"Dear God, please stop the rain. Please let us go home. Please keep us safe and warm. Thank you. Amen." + +Lily and Ben opened their eyes. They looked at the sky. The rain was still falling. The sky was still dull and grey. + +"Did it work?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe we have to pray more." + +Lily and Ben prayed again. They prayed harder. They prayed louder. They prayed longer. + +But the rain did not stop. The sky did not change. + +Lily and Ben felt hopeless. They felt alone. They felt scared. + +They hugged each other. They cried. + +Then they heard a sound. It was a car. It was coming to the park. It was their moms and dads. + +They had come to look for them. They had come to take them home. + +Lily and Ben saw them. They jumped up. They ran to them. + +They were happy. They were relieved. They were grateful. + +They hugged their moms and dads. They said sorry. They said thank you. + +They got in the car. They drove away. + +They looked at the sky. The rain was still falling. The sky was still dull and grey. + +But they did not mind. They did not care. + +They had their moms and dads. They had each other. They had God. + +They smiled. They prayed. + +"Thank you, God. Thank you for everything. Amen." +Lily liked to grow sunflowers in her garden. She watered them every day and watched them grow tall and yellow. She was happy when they smiled at her with their big faces. + +One day, she saw a bee buzzing around her sunflowers. She wanted to say hello to the bee, but she was afraid it might sting her. She asked her mom, "Can I talk to the bee, mom?" + +Her mom said, "Bees are busy, Lily. They are looking for nectar in the flowers. They don't like to be bothered. But you can invite the bee to your garden by planting more flowers. Bees love flowers." + +Lily thought that was a good idea. She asked her mom to help her plant more seeds in the soil. She chose easy seeds that would grow fast and make pretty colors. She planted sunflower seeds, daisy seeds, and poppy seeds. + +Soon, her garden was full of flowers. The bee came back every day and visited all the flowers. Lily watched the bee from a distance and smiled. She was happy that she invited the bee to her garden. She felt like she had a new friend. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a trail in the woods. They want to explore it. + +"Can we go on the trail, Mom?" Lila asks. + +"Sure, but stay close and be careful," Mom says. + +Lila and Ben run on the trail. They see birds, flowers, and bugs. They have fun. But then, Ben trips on a rock. He falls and scrapes his knee. He cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Ben says. + +Lila runs to him. She sees blood on his knee. She feels sorry for him. + +"Don't cry, Ben. I'll help you," Lila says. She takes a tissue from her pocket and wipes his knee. She raises his leg and puts the tissue on it. She holds it there. + +"Does it feel better?" Lila asks. + +"A little," Ben says. He stops crying. He smiles at Lila. + +"Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend," Ben says. + +Lila smiles back. She is happy to help. + +"You're welcome, Ben. You are a good friend, too," Lila says. + +They hug. Then, they walk back to their moms. They tell them what happened. Their moms give them hugs and kisses. They put band-aids on Ben's knee. They say they are proud of them. + +Lila and Ben feel better. They are glad they have each other. They are glad they have their moms. They are glad they went on the trail. They learned something new. They learned how to raise a leg. They learned how to be kind. They learned how to be brave. +Tom and Anna liked to sail their toy boat in the pond. They had a red boat with a white sail and a blue flag. They pretended they were pirates and looked for treasure. + +One day, they saw a big duck swimming near their boat. The duck was grumpy and did not like the boat. It quacked loudly and pecked at the sail. The sail ripped and the boat started to sink. + +Tom and Anna were scared. They shouted for help. This was an emergency. They did not want to lose their boat. They ran to the edge of the pond and tried to reach the boat with a stick. + +But the stick was too short and the boat was too far. The duck kept quacking and pecking. The boat was almost under the water. + +Then, they saw a man walking his dog. The man saw their trouble and came to help. He had a long rope and a hook. He threw the rope and hooked the boat. He pulled the boat out of the pond and gave it to Tom and Anna. + +Tom and Anna were happy and thanked the man. The man smiled and said he was glad to help. He told them to be careful with the duck and to fix their sail. He and his dog walked away. + +Tom and Anna looked at their boat. It was wet and torn, but they still loved it. They decided to go home and ask their mom to help them mend it. They hoped they could sail it again soon. They waved goodbye to the duck and left the pond. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they fight. One day, they fight over a red car. Tom says, "It is mine!" Lily says, "No, it is mine!" They pull and push the car, and make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears them and comes to their room. She is not happy. She says, "Why are you fighting? You have many toys. You can share and take turns. Fighting is not nice. You are in trouble now. You have to say sorry and hug each other." + +Tom and Lily do not want to say sorry or hug. They think it is not fair. They say, "But he/she started it!" Mom says, "I don't care who started it. You both have to stop it. Fighting is not the way to solve problems. You have to be kind and respectful. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nod, but they are still angry. They say sorry and hug, but they do not mean it. They think, "I will get the car later when Mom is not looking. It is easy to trick him/her." + +Mom leaves the room, but she is not fooled. She knows they are not really sorry or happy. She thinks, "They have to learn to get along. Fighting is not good for them or for me. Maybe I should get them a new toy that they can play together. Or maybe I should teach them a game that they can enjoy. Or maybe I should just let them figure it out by themselves. It is not easy to be a mom." +Sara and Ben like to play at the park. They like to swing, climb and slide. One day, they see a new slide at the park. It is very big and shiny. Sara and Ben want to try it. + +"Let's go, Sara!" Ben says. He runs to the new slide and climbs up the ladder. Sara follows him. She is a little scared. The slide is very high. + +"Are you ready, Sara?" Ben asks. He sits on the slide and smiles. He looks brave. + +"Yes, I am ready, Ben!" Sara says. She sits next to him and holds his hand. They count to three and slide down together. + +Whee! They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They slide very fast and have fun. But then, something bad happens. The slide is too steep and they cannot stop. They slide off the end and fall on the ground. + +Ouch! Sara and Ben cry. They hurt their knees and elbows. They have scratches and bruises. They are sad and scared. + +"Are you okay, Sara?" Ben asks. He hugs her and tries to be strong. + +"I am okay, Ben. Are you okay?" Sara asks. She hugs him back and tries to be brave. + +They look at each other and see their tears and blood. They feel sorry for each other. They decide they do not like the new slide. They like the old slide better. It is not so big and shiny, but it is safer and more fun. It is their original slide. + +They get up and walk to the old slide. They clean their wounds and put on band-aids. They smile and say sorry to each other. They sit on the old slide and slide down together. + +Whee! They feel happy and calm. They slide slowly and gently. They laugh and hug. They love the old slide. It is their favorite slide. +Ben and Mia are playing with blocks in the living room. They are building a big tower with many colors. Ben likes to put the blue blocks on top, and Mia likes to put the yellow blocks on the bottom. + +"Look, our tower is so high!" Ben says, smiling. "It is taller than the table!" + +"Yes, it is very high!" Mia agrees. "But we have to be careful. The blocks are heavy, and the tower might fall down." + +They keep adding more blocks to the tower, until they run out of blocks. They stand back and admire their work. The tower is almost as tall as they are. + +"Wow, we did a good job!" Ben says. "Can we take a picture of our tower?" + +"OK, let's ask Mommy!" Mia says. They run to the kitchen, where Mommy is making lunch. + +"Mommy, Mommy, look what we made!" they shout, pulling her by the hand. "We made a big tower with blocks!" + +Mommy follows them to the living room. She sees the tower and smiles. + +"That's amazing, Ben and Mia!" she says. "You are very creative and smart. Do you want me to take a picture of your tower?" + +"Yes, please!" they say. They stand next to the tower and smile. Mommy takes out her phone and snaps a picture. + +"Say cheese!" she says. + +"Cheese!" they say. + +Mommy shows them the picture. They see their happy faces and their big tower. + +"Can we keep our tower, Mommy?" Ben asks. "We worked hard on it." + +"Of course, you can keep your tower," Mommy says. "But you have to remain careful. Don't touch the tower or bump into it. It might fall down and hurt you or make a mess." + +"OK, Mommy, we will remain careful," they say. They hug Mommy and thank her for the picture. + +They go back to the living room and sit on the couch. They look at their tower and feel proud. They wonder what they will make next with their blocks. Maybe a bridge, or a castle, or a rocket. They have many ideas. They love to play with blocks. They love to start new things. They love to have fun. +Tommy was a little boy who liked to play with his toy dinosaurs. He had a big one that was green and hairy, and he called it Rex. Rex could roar very loud, and Tommy liked to make him roar at his other toys and pretend they were scared. + +One night, Tommy took Rex to bed with him, and hugged him tight. He felt safe with Rex by his side, and soon he fell asleep. But then he had a bad dream, a nightmare. He dreamed that a real dinosaur was chasing him, and it was bigger and scarier than Rex. It had sharp teeth and claws, and it roared louder than Rex. Tommy ran and ran, but the dinosaur was faster. It was about to catch him, when Tommy woke up. + +He was sweating and shaking, and he cried out for his mom. His mom came to his room, and turned on the light. She saw Tommy holding Rex, and she asked him what was wrong. + +"Mom, I had a nightmare! A big dinosaur was after me, and it wanted to eat me!" Tommy sobbed. + +"Oh, Tommy, I'm sorry you had a bad dream. But it was not real, it was just in your head. You are safe here, with me and Rex. Rex is your friend, he would never hurt you. He would protect you from any dinosaur, right?" his mom said, and smiled. + +Tommy looked at Rex, and saw his green and hairy face. He felt Rex's soft fur, and heard him roar softly. He realized that Rex was not scary, he was cuddly. He smiled back at his mom, and hugged Rex. + +"Right, mom. Rex is my friend. He is a good dinosaur. He would roar at the bad dinosaur, and make him go away. Thank you, mom. I love you and Rex." Tommy said. + +"I love you too, Tommy. And I love Rex. Now, do you want to go back to sleep, or do you want to read a story with me?" his mom asked. + +"I want to read a story, mom. A happy story, with no dinosaurs." Tommy said. + +"Okay, Tommy. Let's read a happy story, then. How about the one with the three bears and the little girl?" his mom suggested. + +"Okay, mom. I like that story. But can Rex stay with me?" Tommy asked. + +"Of course, Tommy. Rex can stay with you. He likes stories too." his mom said, and picked up a book. She read the story to Tommy and Rex, and they all enjoyed it. Tommy felt sleepy again, and he closed his eyes. He had no more nightmares, only sweet dreams. And Rex was always there, roaring softly. +Tom and Sam were brothers who lived on a farm. They liked to play outside with their dog, Spot. One day, they found a big hole in the ground near the barn. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's bury something in the hole and see what happens," Tom said. He was excited. He ran to the house and got his toy car. Sam followed him with his toy truck. + +They put their toys in the hole and covered them with dirt. They patted the dirt and made a mound. They hoped their toys would grow into something bigger and better. + +"Maybe they will turn into real cars and trucks," Sam said. He was excited too. They ran to the fence and waited. + +The next day, they came back to the hole. They dug up the dirt and looked for their toys. But they were gone. Instead, they saw a shiny metal box with a lock. They were surprised and curious. + +"What is this?" Tom asked. He tried to open the box, but it was too hard. + +"Maybe it's a treasure," Sam said. He looked around for a key, but he couldn't find one. + +They heard a loud noise behind them. They turned and saw their dad coming with a tractor. He was angry. + +"Boys, what have you done?" he shouted. "You buried my tools in the hole. I need them for the farm. And you found my old safe. I hid it there a long time ago. It has important papers inside. Give it to me." + +Tom and Sam felt sorry and scared. They gave the box to their dad and apologized. They realized that burying things in the hole was not a good idea. They learned their lesson. They hugged their dad and Spot and went back to the house. They decided to play with their toys inside. +Tom was a boy who liked to roll on the grass. He rolled up and down the hill, and felt the sun on his face and the wind in his hair. He laughed and shouted, "Roll, roll, roll!" + +But one day, he rolled too fast and bumped his head on a rock. He felt a big pain and saw red on his thumb. He cried and ran to his mom, who was sitting on a bench. She hugged him and said, "Oh, Tom, what happened?" + +She looked at his head and his thumb, and saw that they were bleeding. She took out a band-aid and a tissue from her bag, and cleaned his wounds. She put the band-aid on his head and wrapped the tissue around his thumb. She kissed him and said, "There, there, you'll be fine." + +Tom felt better, but he was still pale and scared. He did not want to roll on the grass anymore. He said, "Mom, can we go home?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, we can go home. But don't worry, Tom, you can roll on the grass again another day. It's fun to roll, but you have to be careful and watch out for rocks." + +Tom smiled and said, "OK, Mom, I'll be careful next time. I love you." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Tom. Come on, let's go home." She held his hand and they walked to the car. Tom felt safe and happy with his mom. He still liked to roll on the grass, but he learned to be more careful. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They were happy. + +But then the sun started to go down. It was evening. The sky became dark and the stars came out. Tom and Lily felt cold and scared. They wanted to go inside. + +"Let's go home, Lily," Tom said. "It's too dark to play." + +But Lily saw something shiny in the grass. She ran to it and picked it up. It was a necklace with a big blue stone. It sparkled in the moonlight. + +"Look, Tom, look what I found!" Lily said. "It's so pretty!" + +Tom came closer and saw the necklace. He liked it too. He wanted to touch it. But then he heard a voice. + +"Excuse me, little ones, have you seen my necklace?" the voice said. + +Tom and Lily turned around and saw a lady. She was wearing a long white dress and a crown. She had wings and a wand. She was a fairy. + +The fairy smiled at them. She was kind and gentle. + +"I lost my necklace when I was flying over your garden," she said. "It's very special to me. It helps me make magic." + +Lily held out the necklace to the fairy. She felt sorry for her. + +"Here, fairy, here is your necklace," Lily said. "We found it in the grass. We didn't mean to take it." + +The fairy took the necklace and thanked Lily. She put it around her neck and it glowed. + +"You are very sweet and honest, Lily," she said. "And you too, Tom. You are good children. I want to give you a gift. What do you wish for?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They thought for a moment. Then they said together: + +"We wish for a hug!" + +The fairy laughed and hugged them. They felt warm and happy. They hugged her back. + +"Thank you, fairy, thank you!" they said. + +The fairy kissed them on their cheeks and said goodbye. She waved her wand and disappeared in a flash of light. + +Tom and Lily ran inside and told their mom and dad about the fairy. They didn't believe them, but they smiled and tucked them in bed. + +Tom and Lily dreamed of the fairy and the necklace. They felt lucky and grateful. They were happy. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the big volcano. The volcano is red and black and has a hole on top. Sometimes, they pretend the volcano makes fire and smoke and loud noises. + +One day, Anna and Ben are playing with the volcano in the yard. They put rocks and dirt and water inside the hole. They want to see what happens. They wait and wait, but nothing happens. They are sad and bored. + +Ben has an idea. He says, "Let's kick the volcano! Maybe it will make fire and smoke and loud noises then!" Anna thinks that is a good idea. She says, "OK, let's kick the volcano!" + +They run to the volcano and kick it hard. The volcano falls over and breaks. The rocks and dirt and water spill out. They make a big mess. Anna and Ben are surprised and scared. They think they broke the volcano for good. + +They hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "What are you doing? Why did you kick the volcano? That was a fancy toy! It was a gift from Grandma! You are in big trouble!" Anna and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to see fire and smoke and loud noises. We did not mean to break the volcano." + +Mom is angry, but she is also kind. She says, "I know you did not mean to break the volcano, but you should not kick toys. That is not nice. You should be careful and gentle with your toys. They are not real. They are for fun. Now, you have to clean up the mess and say sorry to Grandma. Do you understand?" Anna and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We are sorry. We will clean up and say sorry to Grandma. We will not kick toys again." Mom hugs them and helps them clean up. She says, "I love you, Anna and Ben. Next time, play nicely with your toys." Anna and Ben say, "We love you, Mom. We will play nicely with our toys." They learn their lesson and have fun with their other toys. +Anna and Ben were playing in the sand. They had a bucket and a spade each. They wanted to make a big castle with towers and walls. + +"Look, I made a door for the castle," Anna said, digging a hole with her spade. + +"Me too, me too," Ben said, copying her. He brought his spade near the hole, but he hit Anna's spade by mistake. + +"Hey, that's my spade!" Anna shouted, pulling her spade away. "You have your own spade, use that!" + +"But I like your spade better, it's bigger and shinier," Ben said, trying to grab her spade again. + +"No, it's mine, go away!" Anna said, pushing him. They started to fight over the spade, pulling and pushing and yelling. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" a voice said. It was their mom, who was watching them from a bench. She came over and took the spade from them. "What are you doing? You are supposed to share and play nicely, not fight and hurt each other." + +"But he wanted my spade, mom," Anna said, pointing at Ben. + +"But she wouldn't let me use it, mom," Ben said, pointing at Anna. + +Mom sighed. She looked at the spade and saw that it was bent and scratched from the fight. "Look what you did to the spade. It's broken now. How do you think that makes me feel? I brought this spade for you to have fun, not to ruin it." + +Anna and Ben looked at the spade and felt sorry. They knew they had been bad. They looked at mom and said, "We're sorry, mom. We didn't mean to break the spade. We were just playing." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. "It's okay, I forgive you. But you have to learn to share and be kind to each other. You are brother and sister, you should love each other. Now, why don't you use the bucket instead of the spade, and work together to make the castle?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They took the bucket and filled it with sand. They turned it over and made a big tower. Then they made another one, and another one, until they had a beautiful castle. They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy and safe. Mom watched them and smiled too. She was proud of them. She brought them some juice and cookies and joined them in the sand. They had a lovely day at the beach. +Sam and Tom were brothers. They liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a round ball. The ball was red and blue and bounced very high. + +One day, Sam and Tom wanted to go to the park. They asked their mom if they could go. Their mom said yes, but they had to be back by lunch. She gave them some money to buy a snack. Sam and Tom were happy. They took their round ball and ran to the park. + +At the park, they saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They played with their round ball on the grass. They threw it, kicked it, and rolled it. They had a lot of fun. They saw a man with a cart. He was selling ice cream. Sam and Tom wanted ice cream. They ran to the man and gave him their money. They got two cones, one chocolate and one vanilla. + +They licked their ice cream and walked back to the grass. They looked for their round ball, but they could not find it. They searched everywhere, but it was gone. Someone had taken their round ball. Sam and Tom were sad. They cried and cried. They had no round ball and no money. They had spent all their money on ice cream. They wished they had not bought ice cream. They wished they had their round ball back. + +They walked back to their mom. Their mom saw their faces and asked what was wrong. They told her what happened. Their mom was angry. She said they were not regular boys. Regular boys would not lose their round ball. Regular boys would not spend all their money on ice cream. Regular boys would listen to their mom and be back by lunch. She said they were bad boys. She said they had to go to their room and no more toys for a week. Sam and Tom were very sorry. They had a bad day. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big pole with a red and white sign on it. The sign had some words, but they could not read them. + +"Let's climb the pole!" Tom said. He ran to the pole and grabbed it with his hands. He tried to pull himself up, but the pole was slippery and cold. + +Lily followed him. She wanted to climb too. She touched the pole and felt a shock. She screamed and let go. She fell to the ground and cried. + +Tom heard Lily scream. He looked at her and saw her crying. He was scared. He wanted to help her, but he did not let go of the pole. He felt another shock. He fainted and fell to the ground too. + +A man was walking by. He saw the children on the ground. He ran to them and checked their pulse. He saw the sign on the pole. It said "Danger! High voltage! Do not touch!" He called 911 and waited for help. + +He frow +Sara and Ben like to play with their cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with their blocks and move their cars on them. They have fun and make noises like vroom and beep. + +One day, their mom tells them they have to move to a new house. Sara and Ben are sad and scared. They do not want to leave their friends and their cars. Mom says they have to move because their old house is too small and too cheap. She says their new house is bigger and nicer and has a yard. + +Sara and Ben pack their cars and their blocks in a big box. They say goodbye to their friends and get in the car with mom and dad. They drive for a long time and see new things. They see cows and trees and mountains. They ask mom and dad when they will get to their new house. + +Mom and dad say they will get to their new house in a week. Sara and Ben do not know what a week is. They think it is very long. They miss their old house and their friends. They are bored and tired in the car. + +But after a week, they finally get to their new house. It is bigger and nicer than their old house. It has a yard with grass and flowers. Sara and Ben are happy and excited. They run out of the car and see their new room. It has a lot of space for their cars and their blocks. They unpack their box and start to play. They make new roads and bridges and move their cars on them. They have fun and make noises like vroom and beep. They like their new house. They hope to make new friends soon. +Lily and Max are friends who like to play in the park. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a big wheel with pedals and a seat. It is a bike. + +"Wow, look at that bike!" Lily says. "It is so shiny and fast. I want to try it." + +"Me too," Max says. "But we don't know how to ride a bike. We only have our feet." + +They go to the bike and touch it. It feels smooth and hard. They see a girl coming to the bike. She has a helmet and a smile. She is the owner of the bike. + +"Hi, I'm Zoe," the girl says. "This is my bike. Do you want to see how it works?" + +"Yes, please," Lily and Max say. + +Zoe shows them how to sit on the seat, hold the handlebars and push the pedals. She says that riding a bike is a good exercise. It makes your legs and heart strong. She says that she rides her bike every day. She says that it is fun and easy. + +Lily and Max watch Zoe ride her bike. She goes fast and slow, left and right, around and around. She looks happy and free. Lily and Max feel envious. They wish they had a bike too. They wish they could ride like Zoe. + +"Can we try your bike?" Lily asks. + +"Sorry, no," Zoe says. "This is my bike. I don't share it with anyone. You have to get your own bike." + +Lily and Max feel sad and angry. They think Zoe is mean and selfish. They don't want to be her friend. They go back to their swings, slide and seesaw. They try to have fun, but they can't stop thinking about the bike. + +They decide to ask their parents for a bike. They say that they want to learn how to ride a bike. They say that it is a good exercise. They say that it will make them happy. They hope that their parents will say yes. They hope that they will get a bike soon.

They like to play with toys and make noise. One day, they find a big drum in the garage. It is red and shiny and has a stick. + +"Wow, look at this drum!" Sam says. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK, but be gentle," Mia says. "It is not our drum. It is Dad's drum. He likes it a lot." + +Sam and Mia take turns to hit the drum with the stick. It makes a loud boom-boom sound. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, Sam has an idea. He wants to make more noise. He wants to be brave. + +"I dare you to hit the drum harder," he says to Mia. "I dare you to hit it with both hands!" + +Mia is scared. She does not want to break the drum. She does not want to make Dad angry. + +"No, Sam, I don't want to," she says. "That is not gentle. That is bad." + +"Come on, Mia, don't be a baby," Sam says. "It is just a drum. It is fun. I dare you!" + +Sam pushes Mia to the drum. He gives her the stick. He waits for her to hit the drum harder. + +But Mia does not hit the drum. She drops the stick. She runs away. She cries. + +"Sam, you are mean!" she says. "You are not my friend!" + +Sam feels sorry. He did not mean to make Mia cry. He did not mean to be mean. He just wanted to play. + +He picks up the stick. He puts it back on the drum. He follows Mia. + +"Mia, wait!" he says. "I am sorry. I was wrong. I don't want to dare you. I want to be gentle. I want to be your friend." + +He hugs Mia. He says sorry again. Mia stops crying. She hugs him back. She says it is OK. + +They go back to the drum. They play with it gently. They make a nice boom-boom sound. They smile and have fun. They are friends again. +Sara liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. She liked to dig in the dirt and find worms. But her favorite thing was to catch lizards. She liked to hold them in her hands and feel their scales and tails. She liked to watch them blink and wiggle. + +One day, she found a very big lizard. It was green and brown and had a long tongue. Sara was very happy. She ran to show her mom. "Look, mom, look what I found!" she said. "It is a very interesting lizard!" + +Mom looked at the lizard and gasped. "Sara, that is not a lizard, that is a snake!" she said. "It is a very dangerous snake! It can bite you and make you sick! You have to let it go right now!" + +Sara was scared. She did not know it was a snake. She did not want to get bitten. She opened her hands and dropped the snake on the ground. The snake slithered away quickly. Sara felt sad. She liked the snake. She wanted to keep it. + +Mom hugged Sara and said, "I'm sorry, Sara, but you can't keep a snake as a pet. It is not safe for you or the snake. But you can keep this." She gave Sara a toy lizard. It was soft and colorful and had a squeaky sound. Sara smiled. She liked the toy lizard. She hugged it and said, "Thank you, mom. This is a very interesting lizard too. Can I chew on it?" Mom laughed and said, "Yes, you can chew on it. But only a little bit. And don't forget to brush your teeth." Sara nodded and said, "OK, mom. I love you." She ran back to the garden with her toy lizard. She was happy again. +Anna liked to run. She ran in the park, in the yard, and in the house. She ran so fast that her mom and dad could not catch her. She was very independent. She did not want to hold hands or wear a hat or sit in the car seat. + +One day, Anna ran away from her mom at the store. She saw a big tire in the corner and wanted to play with it. She ran to the tire and climbed on it. She laughed and rolled on the tire. She did not see her mom looking for her. + +"Anna, where are you?" her mom called. She was scared and angry. She looked everywhere for Anna. She asked the people at the store if they saw her. No one saw her. + +Anna heard her mom's voice. She stopped playing with the tire. She felt sorry for making her mom worry. She jumped off the tire and ran to her mom. She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was playing with the tire. I like to run, but I love you more." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Anna. But you have to stay with me when we go to the store. Running away is not safe. You could get lost or hurt. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I will stay with you. Can we go home now?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can go home now. But first, let's put the tire back where it belongs." +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play pirates. They had a big box full of treasure that they found in the attic. They had shiny coins, pretty necklaces, and colorful scarves. They pretended that the box was their ship and they sailed across the sea. + +One day, they decided to bury some of their treasure in the backyard. They dug a hole with their shovels and put some coins and necklaces in a small bag. They covered the hole with dirt and marked it with a stick. + +"Arr, we are the best pirates ever!" Anna said. "No one will find our treasure!" + +"Let's go inside and have some juice," Ben said. "We can come back later and dig it up." + +They left their shovels and scarves by the hole and went inside. But they did not see that their dog, Spot, was watching them. Spot was curious and sniffed the hole. He smelled something interesting and started to dig. He found the bag and tore it open. He played with the coins and necklaces and chewed on them. He spoiled the treasure. + +When Anna and Ben came back, they saw the mess. They saw Spot with a coin in his mouth. They were very angry and sad. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" Anna shouted. "You spoiled our treasure! You ruined our game!" + +"Go away, Spot! Go away!" Ben cried. "You are not a pirate! You are a naughty dog!" + +Spot did not understand. He wagged his tail and tried to lick them. He thought they were playing with him. He did not know that he had done something wrong. + +Anna and Ben ran to their mom and told her what happened. Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my darlings. Spot did not mean to spoil your treasure. He was just curious and playful. He loves you very much." + +"But mom, our treasure is gone!" Anna said. "We worked hard to find it and bury it!" + +"I know, sweetie. But treasure is not the most important thing. You still have each other, and you can still have fun. Maybe you can find some new treasure, or make some of your own. And you can be more careful next time, and put your treasure in a safer place." + +Anna and Ben thought about it. They realized that mom was right. They still had each other, and they still had their box of treasure. They decided to forgive Spot and give him a hug. They also decided to make some new treasure out of paper and glitter. They thanked mom for her advice and went back to their game. They were happy pirates again. +Lily was a very independent girl. She liked to do things by herself, like dressing up, drawing, and playing with her toys. She did not like to share or listen to others. She believed she was the best at everything. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a big yellow slide. She wanted to go on it right away, but there was a line of other kids waiting. She did not want to wait. She pushed past the other kids and ran to the slide. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" one of the kids shouted. "You have to wait your turn!" + +Lily ignored him and climbed up the ladder. She was about to slide down when she heard a loud voice. + +"Lily, stop!" It was her mom. "You can't do that. You have to be polite and respectful. You have to wait your turn like everyone else." + +Lily felt angry and embarrassed. She did not like her mom telling her what to do. She believed she could do whatever she wanted. She slid down the slide anyway, but it was not fun. She felt guilty and sad. + +She got off the slide and looked at her mom. Her mom looked disappointed and sad too. Lily realized she had made a mistake. She did not want to hurt her mom or the other kids. She wanted to be a good girl. + +She walked over to her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I should have waited my turn. I should have been nice. Can you forgive me?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "Of course, I forgive you, Lily. I love you. You are a very independent girl, and that's a good thing. But you also have to be kind and fair. You have to think of others too. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I love you too. Can we go on the slide again? Together?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's say sorry to the other kids and ask them if we can join the line." + +Lily agreed and did as her mom said. The other kids accepted her apology and let her join the line.

She believed she was a good girl. +Tommy liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor.

She saw the broken car and hugged Tommy. She said, "Don't worry, Tommy. We can fix your car. We can restore it to how it was before. Do you know what restore means?" Tommy shook his head. Mommy said, "Restore means to make something good again. Like when you clean your room or when you heal a boo-boo. We can restore your car with some glue and paint." + +Mommy took Tommy and the broken car to the garage. She found some glue and paint that matched the car's color. She glued the car's pieces together and let them dry. Then she painted over the cracks and scratches. She let the paint dry too. She showed Tommy the car and said, "Look, Tommy. Your car is restored. It is good again. It is like new." Tommy smiled and hugged Mommy. He said, "Thank you, Mommy. You are the best. I love you and I love my car." + +Tommy was very happy and played with his car again. He was more careful and gentle with it. He did not want to break it again. He put it on his shelf every night before bed. He said, "Good night, car. You are my friend." He looked forward to Wednesday, because that was the day he went to the park with Mommy and his car. He liked to show his car to the other kids and play with them. He liked Wednesday. It was his favorite day. +Lila had a small rat as a pet. She liked to rub his fur and feed him cheese. She named him Remy and kept him in a cage in her room. + +One day, Lila's mom said, "We have to go to the store, Lila. Do you want to come with me?" + +Lila nodded and said, "Yes, mom. Can I bring Remy?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Sure, but you have to hold him tight and not let him run away." + +Lila put Remy in her pocket and went with mom to the car. She was happy to have Remy with her. + +At the store, Lila saw many things. She saw apples, bananas, bread, milk, and cookies. She also saw a big dog, a fat cat, and a loud bird.

She took him out and rubbed his fur. She whispered, "Don't worry, Remy. I love you. You are my best friend." + +Remy squeaked and licked her nose. He loved Lila too. He was glad to have her as his owner. +Lily and Max were going on a journey with their mom and dad. They had to sit in the car for a long time. Lily and Max did not like the car. It was boring. They could not play or run or jump. They could only look out the window and see trees and houses and cars. + +"Are we there yet?" Lily asked. + +"No, not yet," mom said. "We still have a long way to go." + +Lily frowned. She did not want to go a long way. She wanted to go to the park or the zoo or the beach. She wanted to have fun. + +Max frowned too. He was tired of the car. He wanted to stretch his legs and kick a ball or ride a bike or climb a tree. He wanted to be active. + +"Can we stop and have a snack?" Max asked. + +"Maybe later," dad said. "We have to keep driving or we will be late." + +Lily and Max sighed. They did not care about being late.

They do not want to wake up Mom and Dad. + +They walk to the park. They find a hill. They climb up the hill. They sit on the grass. They wait for the sun. They see the sky change color. It is pink and orange and yellow. They see the sun peek out from behind the trees. It is bright and warm. They smile at each other. + +"Look, Lila, the sun is rising!" Tom says. + +"It is a beautiful sight, Tom!" Lila says. + +They hug each other. They are happy. They watch the sun rise higher and higher. They see the birds fly and sing.

They have a secret. They saw the sun rise. They will never forget. +Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their wagon in the park. They put their toys and snacks in the wagon and pulled it around. Sometimes they shared their snacks with other kids. + +One day, a big boy came to the park. He saw Tim and Lily's wagon and wanted it. He ran to them and said, "Give me your wagon. It is mine now." He tried to take the wagon from them. + +Tim and Lily were scared and sad. They did not want to lose their wagon. They said, "No, this is our wagon. We brought it from home. You cannot have it." They held on to the wagon. + +The big boy was angry and mean. He pushed Tim and Lily and made them fall. He grabbed the wagon and ran away. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, I have your wagon. You are silly and weak." + +Tim and Lily cried. They were hurt and had no wagon. They did not know what to do. They felt alone and helpless. + +Then, a kind girl came to them. She saw what happened and felt sorry for them.

She wanted to win a trophy for being the best at running. + +One day, there was a race at her school. Jill was very excited and put on her shoes and shirt. She ran to the start line and waited for the whistle. She wanted to beat all the other kids and get the trophy. + +But when the whistle blew, Jill felt a tickle in her nose.

Sometimes, she needed help from others. +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build tall towers and bridges with the blocks. They were having fun and sharing the blocks nicely. + +Then they heard a knock on the door. It was their aunt Sara, who came to visit them. She had a big smile and a wide bag. She hugged Lily and Ben and said, "Hello, my sweeties! I have a surprise for you in my bag. Do you want to see?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and followed their aunt to the couch. They were curious and excited. Aunt Sara opened her bag and took out two books. One was a book about dinosaurs and the other was a book about fairies. She said, "These are for you, Lily and Ben. You can choose which one you want to read with me." + +Lily and Ben both reached for the book about dinosaurs. They loved dinosaurs and wanted to see the pictures and learn their names. They pulled the book from each other and said, "I want it! No, I want it!" + +Aunt Sara frowned and said, "Hey, hey, stop that. You can't fight over the book. That's not nice. You have to be careful with the book and with each other. Why don't you take turns? Lily, you can look at the book first, and then give it to Ben. Ben, you can look at the book after Lily, and then give it back to her. OK?" + +Lily and Ben thought about it and agreed. They said, "OK, aunt Sara. We're sorry. We'll take turns." They smiled and hugged their aunt and thanked her for the books. They decided to look at the book about dinosaurs first, and then the book about fairies.

They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to run after it. + +One time, the ball went over the fence and into the street. Sara and Ben wanted to get their ball back, but they saw a big car coming fast. They stopped and waited for the car to pass. + +But an elderly lady was walking on the sidewalk. She did not see the ball or the car. She was about to step on the ball and fall. + +"Look out, lady!" Sara shouted. "There is a ball and a car!" + +Ben ran to the fence and reached his hand over. He grabbed the ball and pulled it back. He prevented the lady from stepping on the ball and hurting her head. + +The lady heard Sara and Ben and turned around. She saw the ball and the car and realized what could have happened. She smiled and thanked Sara and Ben for saving her. + +"Thank you, children. You are very brave and kind.

I'm glad you are having fun. But be careful with your ball. Don't let it go into the street. It's dangerous." + +"We will, lady. We will be careful. Thank you for being nice." + +"You're welcome, Sara and Ben. Have a good day." + +The lady waved and walked away. Sara and Ben waved back and went to the park. They continued to play with their ball, but they made sure to keep it away from the fence. They had a good day. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were animals. Anna was a purple cat and Ben was a green frog. They ran and jumped and meowed and croaked. + +"Let's change!" Ben said. "I want to be a wolf!" + +"OK!" Anna said. "But I want to be a bird!" + +They changed their sounds and their moves. Ben howled and chased Anna. Anna flapped her arms and flew away. They had fun being a wolf and a bird. + +But then they saw a real wolf. It was big and gray and scary. It came out of the woods and looked at them. It growled and showed its teeth. + +"Help!" Anna and Ben cried. "A wolf! A wolf!" + +They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. They hugged them and told them about the wolf. + +"Don't worry, kids," their mom said. "That's not a wolf. That's a dog. He belongs to that man over there. He's friendly. He won't hurt you." + +"Are you sure?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, I'm sure," their dad said. "See, he's wagging his tail. He just wants to play." + +Anna and Ben looked at the dog. He was wagging his tail and licking his owner's face. He didn't look scary anymore. He looked nice. + +"Can we play with him?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but ask his owner first," their mom said. + +They asked the man if they could play with his dog. He said yes. They petted his fur and threw a stick for him. He fetched it and brought it back. He barked and licked their hands. + +Anna and Ben liked the dog. They forgot about being a wolf and a bird. They changed back to being a purple cat and a green frog. They ran and jumped and meowed and croaked with the dog. They had more fun than before. +Lily and Ben like to play with the old printer in the basement. They find paper and ink and make funny pictures. They print their names, their faces, their pets and their toys. + +One day, they print a picture of a fat cat. The cat is very big and has a lot of fur. It looks like a ball with ears and a tail. Lily and Ben laugh and show the picture to their mom. + +"Look, mom, we print a fat cat!" Lily says. + +"Wow, that's a very fat cat!" mom says. "Where did you find it?" + +"We make it!" Ben says. "We use the printer and the paper and the ink!" + +Mom smiles and hugs them. "You are very clever and creative!" she says. "But you know, the printer is old and the ink is expensive. You can't print too many pictures, okay?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They understand. They love the printer, but they love their mom more. They say sorry and promise to print less. They give the fat cat picture to their mom as a gift. Mom puts it on the fridge and says it is beautiful. Lily and Ben are happy. They go back to the basement and play with other things. +Sara liked to taste new things. She saw a purple bottle on the shelf. She wanted to know what was inside. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. She opened the lid and smelled something sweet. + +She put the bottle to her mouth and drank some. It tasted good, like candy. She drank more and more. She did not see the label that said "Poison. Do not drink. Waste." + +Soon, Sara felt sick. Her tummy hurt and she felt dizzy. She dropped the bottle and fell off the chair. She cried for help, but no one heard her. She lay on the floor and closed her eyes. She did not wake up again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. Lily saw a big clock on the wall. It had a long hand and a short hand and numbers all around. + +"Look, Tom, a clock!" Lily said. "Maybe it has a secret inside." + +She climbed on a chair and reached for the clock. She tried to twist it, but it was too heavy. She asked Tom to help her. + +"Be careful, Lily," Tom said. "The clock might fall and break." + +He climbed on the chair too and held the clock with Lily. They twisted it together, but nothing happened. They twisted it harder, but still nothing. + +"Maybe we need to twist it the other way," Lily said. + +She twisted it to the left, and Tom twisted it to the right. They heard a click and a pop. The clock opened and a small door appeared. Inside the door, there was a shiny key. + +"Wow, we found a clue!" Lily said. "What do you think the key is for?" + +"I don't know, but let's take it and see," Tom said. + +They took the key and closed the clock. They were gentle and did not break it. They climbed down from the chair and looked around for more clues. They were happy and excited. They were the best spies ever. +Tim and Lily were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do. They saw a big box in the corner. They opened it and found some old toys. + +"Look, a drum!" Tim said. He picked up the drum and a stick. He started to bang on the drum with the stick. "Boom, boom, boom!" + +"Stop, Tim, that's too loud!" Lily said. She covered her ears. She saw a rocking horse in the box. She climbed on the rocking horse and rocked back and forth. "Neigh, neigh, neigh!" + +"Stop, Lily, that's too silly!" Tim said. He put down the drum and the stick. He saw a teddy bear in the box. He hugged the teddy bear and rocked it in his arms. "Shh, shh, shh!" + +"Tim, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom said. She came into the room and saw the mess. She smiled and shook her head. "You two are very noisy and very creative. But it's time for a nap now. Come on, let's go to your beds." + +Tim and Lily did not want to nap. They wanted to play more. But they knew Mom was right. They put the toys back in the box and followed Mom to their beds. They took the drum and the rocking horse and the teddy bear with them. They cuddled with their toys and rocked themselves to sleep. +Tim and Lily were twins who loved to explore. One sunny day, they decided to go on an adventure in the woods behind their house. They packed some snacks, water, and a map in their backpacks and set off. + +"Look, Tim, a trail!" Lily said, pointing to a narrow path among the trees. "Let's follow it and see where it goes." + +"Okay, Lily, but be careful. There might be animals or bugs or thorns," Tim said, holding his sister's hand. He was a bit scared, but also curious. + +They walked along the trail, looking at the flowers, the birds, and the mushrooms. They saw a squirrel, a rabbit, and a butterfly. They heard a stream, a woodpecker, and a cricket. They smelled the pine, the dirt, and the honey. + +"Wow, this is so fun!" Lily said, enthusiastic. "I wonder what else we can find." + +They came to a clearing, where they saw a big, round, fuzzy thing. It was a bear, sleeping on a pile of leaves. Tim and Lily gasped and froze. + +"Shh, Lily, don't wake it up. It might be angry," Tim whispered, squeezing his sister's hand. + +"But Tim, I want to touch it. It looks so soft and cuddly," Lily whispered back, squeezing his hand harder. + +"No, Lily, don't. It's dangerous. Come on, let's go back," Tim said, pulling her away. + +"But Tim, please, just one little touch," Lily said, pulling him closer. + +They tugged and pulled, until they stumbled and fell. They landed on a branch, which snapped and made a loud noise. The bear woke up and roared. Tim and Lily screamed and ran. + +They ran back along the trail, as fast as they could. They didn't stop until they reached their house. They hugged their mom and dad and told them what happened. + +"Wow, you two are very brave and lucky," their mom said, kissing their heads. + +"But also very silly and naughty," their dad said, shaking his finger. + +"Sorry, dad, we won't do it again," Tim and Lily said, looking down. + +They learned their lesson. They still liked to explore, but they never went near the bear again. They also learned to listen to each other and to be careful. They were happy twins who loved to explore. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They hear a loud noise and feel the floor shake. They are scared and hug each other. They hear their mom and dad call their names from the kitchen. + +"Mom, Dad, what is happening?" Anna asks. + +"It's an earthquake, sweetie. Don't worry, we are safe. Come here, we will go outside together," Mom says. + +They run to the kitchen and see Mom and Dad holding hands. They also see some things fall from the shelves and break. They are sad and sorry for the things. + +"Can we help you clean up, Mom?" Ben asks. + +"That's very compassionate of you, Ben. But right now, we need to get out of the house. The earthquake might not be over yet. We will clean up later, okay?" Dad says. + +They go outside and see other people and animals. Some are crying, some are helping, some are praying. They see a big crack in the road and some broken wires and pipes. They are amazed and scared. + +"Look, Mom, the earth is broken!" Anna says. + +"Yes, honey, the earthquake made the earth move and break. But it will heal, just like a wound. And we will help each other to fix things and make them better. We are lucky that we are not hurt and that we have each other," Mom says. + +They hug Mom and Dad and feel safe and loved. They hope the earthquake will stop soon and that everyone will be okay. They are brave and compassionate children. +Sara was very happy. Today was her birthday and she had a party. She invited her friends from school and they played games, ate cake and opened presents. Sara liked her presents very much. She got a doll, a book, a puzzle and a hat. + +One of her friends, Ben, gave her a hat. It was a red hat with a big flower on it. Sara thanked Ben and put the hat on her head. She thought it was very pretty. Ben smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. I made it myself. Do you want me to teach you how to make hats?" + +Sara nodded. She wanted to learn how to make hats. She thought it would be fun. Ben took her to a corner of the room where he had a box of materials. He showed her how to cut, glue and decorate the hats. Sara listened and watched carefully. She tried to make a hat for Ben. She chose a blue fabric and a star for the hat. + +But Sara was careless. She did not pay attention to the scissors. She cut the fabric too big and it did not fit the hat. She used too much glue and it dripped on the floor. She put the star on the wrong side of the hat and it fell off. Sara was sad. She looked at her hat and then at Ben's hat. Her hat was ugly and Ben's hat was beautiful. + +Ben saw Sara's face and felt sorry for her. He said, "Don't worry, Sara. It's okay. You can try again. Making hats is not easy. You need to practice. I will help you. You are my friend and I like you." He gave Sara a hug and a smile. Sara felt better. She thanked Ben and said, "You are my friend too and I like you. You are very kind and you teach me well. Can we make another hat together?" Ben nodded. They made another hat together and it was better than the first one. Sara and Ben were happy. They wore their hats and joined the party. They had a lot of fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They enjoy the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also like to find things in the bin. The bin is near the bench. It has many things that people throw away. + +One day, they find a big box in the bin. It is brown and has a lid. They take it out and open it. Inside, they see many colourful balls. They are happy and excited. + +"Wow, look at all these balls!" Anna says. + +"Let's play with them!" Ben says. + +They take the balls out of the box and start to throw them in the air. They catch them and roll them on the grass. They make a game of who can throw the highest and the farthest. They laugh and have fun. + +The balls are easy to play with. They are soft and light. They bounce and roll. They make Anna and Ben happy. They enjoy playing with the balls. + +They play until it is time to go home. They put the balls back in the box and the box back in the bin. They say goodbye to each other and thank the bin for the gift. + +"Bye, bin! Thank you for the balls!" Anna says. + +"Bye, bin! You are the best!" Ben says. + +They wave to the bin and leave the park. They smile and think of the next time they will play with the balls. They are friends. They like to play in the park. They enjoy the bin. +Sara likes to mark with her crayons. She has many colors, but her favorite is blue. She marks on paper, on the wall, and sometimes on her face. She thinks blue is pretty. + +One day, Sara sees a dove outside her window. The dove is pale and soft. It has a blue mark on its wing. Sara thinks the dove is pretty too. She wants to mark with the dove. + +She runs outside with her crayons. She sees the dove on a branch. She calls to the dove, "Hi, dove! Can I mark with you?" The dove looks at Sara. It does not fly away. + +Sara smiles. She climbs on a chair. She reaches for the dove. She tries to mark on its wing. But the dove does not like that. It flaps its wings. It pecks at Sara. It makes a loud noise. + +Sara is scared. She drops her crayons. She falls off the chair. She cries. The dove flies away. Sara learns that doves do not like to mark. She says sorry to the dove. She goes back inside. She marks on paper instead. She still thinks blue is pretty. +Ben and Lily are best friends. They like to play in the park with their dogs, Max and Ruby. Max is a big dog with black fur. Ruby is a small dog with brown fur. They are both very fierce. They bark at the birds and the cats and the squirrels. + +One day, Ben and Lily see a new dog in the park. It is a white dog with spots. It looks friendly, but Max and Ruby do not like it. They run towards it and growl. The white dog is scared and runs away. Ben and Lily call their dogs to come back, but they do not listen. They chase the white dog out of the park and into the street. + +Ben and Lily are worried. They run after their dogs, but they are too fast. They see a big car coming. The car honks and brakes, but it is too late. The car hits Max and Ruby. They fall to the ground and do not move. + +Ben and Lily cry. They hug their dogs and say sorry. They wish they had stayed in the park. They wish their dogs had stayed with them. They love their dogs very much. They do not want to lose them. + +A man gets out of the car. He is sorry too. He says he did not see the dogs. He says he will take them to the vet. He says he will help them. He lifts Max and Ruby into his car. He tells Ben and Lily to get in too. He drives them to the vet. + +The vet is a nice lady. She checks Max and Ruby. She says they are hurt, but they will be okay. She gives them medicine and bandages. She says they need to rest and be careful. She says they are lucky dogs. She says they have good friends. + +Ben and Lily are happy. They thank the man and the vet. They hug Max and Ruby. They say they are sorry again. They say they will stay with them. They say they love them very much. They say they are fierce, but they are also sweet. +Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a cricket on a leaf. It was green and shiny. + +"Look, a cricket!" Ben said. "It can jump very high." + +"Can we catch it?" Mia asked. "I want to see it better." + +They tried to catch the cricket, but it was too fast. It jumped from leaf to leaf. Ben and Mia crawled after it. They did not want to lose it. + +"Come here, cricket!" Mia called. "We are not going to hurt you." + +But the cricket did not listen. It jumped over a fence and into the neighbor's yard. Ben and Mia could not follow it. They were sad. + +"Bye, cricket!" Ben said. "Maybe we will see you again." + +They crawled back to their garden. They were dirty and tired. They saw their mom coming out of the house. She had a smile and a towel. + +"Time to get clean, kids!" she said. "You had fun, but you also made a mess." + +She wiped their faces and hands with the towel. She gave them a hug and a kiss. + +"Did you find any bugs?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom," Ben said. "We found a cricket. It was green and shiny. But it jumped away." + +"Maybe it will come back another day," she said. "Now let's go inside and have a snack." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They were hungry and thirsty. They followed their mom inside. They hoped to see the cricket again. They liked to play in the garden. +Tom likes to create things with paper. He can fold paper into many shapes. He can make hats, planes, boats and more. He likes to play with his paper creations in his room. + +One day, he decides to create a sail. He takes a big sheet of paper and cuts a triangle. He sticks a straw on one side of the triangle. He finds a cork and pushes the straw into it. He has made a sail. + +He wants to see his sail move. He goes to the bathroom and fills the tub with water. He puts his sail in the water and blows on it. The sail moves across the tub. Tom is happy. He thinks his sail is cute. + +He hears his mom calling him. It is time for lunch. He takes his sail out of the tub and dries it with a towel. He puts it on his shelf with his other paper creations. He goes to the kitchen and eats his sandwich. He tells his mom about his sail. She smiles and says it is very cute. She is proud of Tom. Tom is proud of himself. He loves to create things with paper. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. One day, they saw a big bird in the sky. It was white and had a long neck. Ben said, "Look, Mia, a dove!" + +Mia said, "Wow, it's so pretty! Let's follow it!" They ran after the dove, but it flew away. They did not see where it went. They got lost in the park. They did not know how to go back. + +They saw a big bush. They heard a loud noise. It sounded like a roar. Ben said, "Mia, what is that?" Mia said, "I don't know. Maybe it's a lion. Lions roar. I'm scared, Ben." + +Ben said, "Me too, Mia. But we have to be brave. Maybe we can find someone to help us. Let's go around the bush and look." They held hands and walked around the bush. They hoped the lion would not see them. + +But when they got to the other side, they saw something else. It was not a lion. It was a dog. A big, fluffy, friendly dog. It wagged its tail and licked their faces. It was the dove's friend. The dove had flown to the dog and told it to help Ben and Mia. The dog said, "Woof, woof, don't be afraid. I'm here to help you. I know where your mom and dad are. Follow me." + +Ben and Mia were happy. They hugged the dog and thanked the dove. They followed the dog to their mom and dad, who were looking for them. They were so glad to see them. They told them what happened. Their mom and dad said, "We're so proud of you. You were brave and smart. And you made some new friends. The dove and the dog are very kind. Let's give them some treats." + +Ben and Mia said, "Yes, let's do that. We love the dove and the dog. They saved us. They made us feel safe." They gave the dove and the dog some bread and biscuits. They played with them for a while. Then they said goodbye and went home. They never forgot their adventure in the park. +One day, a spoiled boy named Tom found a big ant hill in his backyard. He wanted to have some fun, so he picked up a stick and poked the ant hill. He laughed as he saw the ants run out in panic. + +"Stop it, Tom!" his sister Lily shouted. "You are hurting the ants! They are living things, too!" + +"I don't care!" Tom said. "They are just bugs! They have no feelings!" + +"Yes, they do!" Lily said. "They work hard to build their home and protect their family. They are not toys for you to play with!" + +Lily ran over and grabbed the stick from Tom. She threw it away and stood in front of the ant hill. She wanted to protect the ants from Tom. + +Tom was angry. He pushed Lily and tried to get the stick back. He wanted to poke the ant hill some more. But Lily was stronger. She pushed Tom back and said, "No, Tom! You are being mean and selfish! You need to learn to respect other creatures and their homes!" + +Tom cried and ran away. He felt bad for what he did. He realized that Lily was right. He was being mean and selfish. He decided to say sorry to Lily and the ants. + +He came back with a small jar of honey. He gave it to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, ants. I was wrong. Here, this is for you. I hope you like it." + +Lily smiled and hugged Tom. She said, "Thank you, Tom. That's very kind of you. I'm sure the ants will appreciate it." + +They watched as the ants came out and took the honey. They looked happy and grateful. Tom and Lily felt happy, too. They learned to protect and respect other creatures and their homes. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be pirates. They wear hats and scarves and have wooden swords. + +"Arrr, matey, we need to find the treasure!" Tom says. + +"Where is it?" Mia asks. + +"It is on the island. We have to sail there and perform a search." Tom says. + +They go to the sandbox and make a boat with sand and sticks. They pretend to sail on the water. They sing pirate songs. They see the island. It is a big rock with a flag on it. + +"Look, there it is!" Mia says. + +They jump out of the boat and run to the rock. They look for the treasure. They find a box with shiny stones and coins. + +"Wow, we found it!" Tom says. + +They open the box and share the treasure. They are happy. + +"Let's be fair and give some to the other kids." Mia says. + +"Okay, that is a good idea." Tom says. + +They go back to the boat and take the treasure. They find the other kids and give them some. The other kids say thank you and smile. They all play together. They have fun. +Anna and Ben were playing in the backyard. They saw a big ladder leaning on the wall. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the roof. + +"Let's go up the ladder!" Ben said. + +"No, it's too high and scary!" Anna said. + +"Come on, don't be a baby! It will be fun!" Ben said. + +He grabbed the ladder and started to climb. Anna watched him nervously. She did not want him to fall and get hurt. + +"Ben, be careful!" she shouted. + +Ben reached the top of the ladder. He looked around and saw a bird's nest with three eggs in it. + +"Wow, look at this!" he said. "I wonder what kind of bird they are!" + +He reached out his hand to touch the eggs. But the ladder was not very flexible. It wobbled and shook. Ben lost his balance and screamed. + +"Help! Help!" he cried. + +Anna heard him and ran to the ladder. She grabbed the bottom and tried to hold it steady. + +"Ben, don't move! I'll get help!" she said. + +She ran to the house and called their mom. Mom came out and saw Ben hanging from the ladder. She quickly got another ladder and climbed up to rescue him. + +"Ben, are you okay?" she asked. + +"I'm okay, Mom. I'm sorry, I was just curious," he said. + +Mom hugged him and brought him down. She checked him for any injuries and gave him a kiss. + +"Next time, don't climb the ladder without permission. It's very dangerous," she said. + +"I know, Mom. I won't do it again," he said. + +He looked at Anna and said, "Thank you for helping me, Anna. You're a good sister." + +Anna smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. But next time, don't guess what's on the roof. Just ask Mom." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big lake with many ducks. They want to feed the ducks. They find some bread and go to the lake. + +They see a boat with two oars. They think it is fun to go on the boat. They get on the boat and take the oars. They start to row on the lake.

Let's give them more bread," Mia says. + +They row and feed the ducks. They are happy. But then, they hear a loud splash. They look behind them and see a big fish. The fish jumps out of the water and opens its mouth. It looks angry. + +"Tom, Mia, look out! A big fish!" a voice shouts. It is the man who owns the boat. He is on the shore. He is waving his arms. + +Tom and Mia are scared. They drop the oars and scream. The fish comes closer and closer. It looks like it wants to eat them. + +"Help, help, help!" Tom and Mia cry. + +The man runs to another boat. He gets on it and rows fast. He reaches Tom and Mia's boat. He grabs the oars and rows away from the fish. He takes Tom and Mia to the shore. They get off the boat and hug the man. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Tom and Mia say. + +"You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome!" the man says. "But you should not go on the boat without asking. It is not safe. The lake has big fish. They can scare you or hurt you. You are lucky I saw you." + +Tom and Mia are sorry. They say sorry to the man. They say they will not go on the boat again. They say they will ask first. + +The man is kind. He says it is fine. He says he is glad they are safe. He says they can feed the ducks from the shore. He gives them more bread. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They feed the ducks from the shore. They are not scared anymore. They are fine. They say thank you to the man again. They say goodbye to the ducks. They go home with their parents. They tell them what happened. They say they learned a lesson.

They were happy and quiet. + +But then, Lily saw Ben's hippo and wanted to play with it. She asked Ben, "Can I have your hippo, please?" Ben said, "No, this is my hippo. You have your doll." Lily was not happy. She said, "But I want your hippo. It is bigger and nicer than my doll." Ben said, "No, you can't have it. Go away." + +Lily was angry. She tried to grab the hippo from Ben's hands. Ben held on tight. They started to pull and tug. They were very competitive. They wanted to win. They shouted and cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Ben and Lily fighting over the hippo. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you. You are being very rude and selfish. You need to share and take turns. You can't demand what is not yours." + +She took the hippo and the doll and put them on the shelf. She said, "You can't play with them until you say sorry and hug each other. Then, you can play with them for five minutes each. Do you understand?" Ben and Lily nodded. They felt sorry and hugged each other. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Lily." Mom smiled and said, "That's better. Now, you can play nicely together." She gave them the hippo and the doll. Ben and Lily thanked her and played nicely together. They were happy and quiet. +Lily and Ben are twins who live on a big ranch with many animals. They love to play with the horses, cows, sheep and dogs. Sometimes they help their mom and dad with the chores, like feeding the animals or brushing their fur. + +One day, they decided to play hide and seek in the barn. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then started to look for Ben. She looked behind the hay bales, under the tractor, and in the chicken coop. She could not find him anywhere. + +She heard a loud moo from the cow pen. She thought maybe Ben was hiding there. She ran to the cow pen and saw a big brown cow with a white spot on her head. She looked at the cow and said, "Are you Ben?" + +The cow looked at Lily and said, "Moo!" + +Lily giggled and said, "No, you are not Ben. You are a cow. But you are a very pretty cow. What is your name?" + +The cow said, "Moo!" + +Lily said, "Moo? Is that your name? That is a nice name. Can I pet you?" + +The cow nodded and let Lily pet her soft fur. Lily felt happy and said, "You are very friendly, Moo. Do you like living on the ranch?" + +The cow said, "Moo!" + +Lily said, "I like living on the ranch too. It is fun and there are many animals to play with. But I have to find Ben. He is hiding from me. Do you know where he is?" + +The cow said, "Moo!" + +Lily said, "You don't know? That's okay. Maybe he is hiding somewhere else. Thank you for talking to me, Moo. I will see you later. Bye!" + +Lily waved to the cow and left the cow pen. She continued to look for Ben. She did not know that Ben was hiding behind the cow the whole time. He was trying not to laugh or make any noise. He did not want to disturb the cow or Lily. He was proud of his hiding spot. He thought he was the best hider ever. He waited for Lily to find him. He wondered how long it would take. He hoped she would not give up. He wanted to surprise her and say, "Boo!" +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box near the slide. The box is open. Lily and Tom are curious. + +"Let's see what is in the box!" Lily says. She runs to the box. + +"Wait, Lily!" Tom says. "Maybe the box is not for us. Maybe someone left it here. Maybe it has something bad inside." + +Lily does not listen. She looks in the box. She sees a lot of toys. She smiles. She takes a doll and a car. + +"Wow, look at these toys!" Lily says. "They are so fun! Come, Tom, come and play with me!" + +Tom is not sure. He walks to the box. He sees a note on the box. The note says: "These toys are for the children in the hospital. Please do not touch them. They need them more than you do." + +Tom feels sad. He shows the note to Lily. + +"Lily, look at this note!" Tom says. "These toys are not for us. They are for the children who are sick. We should not take them. We should put them back in the box." + +Lily feels ashamed. She realizes she was wrong. She puts the doll and the car back in the box. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily says. "I was selfish. I did not think about the children who need these toys. You were right. We should not touch them. We should be kind and respectful." + +Tom smiles. He hugs Lily. + +"It's okay, Lily," Tom says. "We all make mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them. Come, let's go and play with our own toys. We have enough fun with them." + +Lily and Tom leave the box alone. They go and play with their own toys. They are happy and grateful. They have learned a valuable lesson. +Mia and Ben like to play in the park. They see a big post with a wheel on top. The wheel has many colors and shapes. Mia and Ben want to spin the wheel and see what happens. + +They run to the post and take turns to push the wheel. The wheel spins fast and makes a funny noise. Mia and Ben laugh and clap their hands. They see the colors and shapes change as the wheel spins. + +"Look, Ben, a star!" Mia says, pointing to the wheel. + +"I see it, Mia, and a moon!" Ben says, pointing to another shape. + +They spin the wheel again and again, and see more shapes and colors. They have a lively time and forget about everything else. + +Then they hear their mom calling them. It is time to go home. Mia and Ben say goodbye to the wheel and the post. They promise to come back and play again. They hold their mom's hand and walk away, smiling and talking about the wheel. +Tom and Ann were playing with their toy cars in the yard. They liked to make them go fast and crash into each other. They made loud noises like "vroom" and "bang" and "crash". + +"Look, Ann, I have a big red car. It is faster than yours," Tom said. He pushed his car hard and it zoomed across the grass. + +"My car is blue and it is smarter than yours," Ann said. She moved her car slowly and carefully. She saw a big rock on the grass and had an idea. + +She waited until Tom's car was near the rock and then she pushed her car towards it. Her car hit Tom's car and made it fly in the air. It landed on the rock and broke into pieces. It was a big wreck. + +"Ann, you broke my car! That was not nice!" Tom cried. He ran to his car and picked up the pieces. He was very sad and angry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to break your car. I just wanted to have fun," Ann said. She felt bad and sorry. She lay down on the grass and looked at the sky. She wished she could fix Tom's car. + +Tom looked at Ann and saw that she was sorry. He remembered that she was his friend and that they liked to play together. He lay down next to her and looked at the sky too. He saw a big cloud that looked like a car. + +"Look, Ann, there is a car in the sky. Maybe it is your car's brother," he said. + +Ann looked at the cloud and smiled. She saw that it was blue like her car. She thought that maybe it was her car's brother too. + +"Maybe it is, Tom. Maybe it is here to say hello to us and to your car," she said. + +They both smiled and waved at the cloud. They felt better and happier. They decided to share their cars and play nicely. They knew that their cars were just toys and that their friendship was more important. They were fine. +Lily and Max are playing with their toys in the living room. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, and books. They make a lot of noise and a big mess. They do not care about anything else. + +Mom is in the kitchen. She is making a cake for Dad. Dad is coming home soon. He has been working hard with his muscles. He is very strong and kind. Mom wants to surprise him with a yummy cake. + +But Mom is not happy.
