"It is so pretty!" + +"Can we go inside?" Mia asks. "Maybe it is a magic bus!" + +They run to the bus. The door is open. They climb the steps. Inside, they see many seats and pictures. The pictures show people and places from long ago. They are ancient. + +"Who are they?" Mia points to a picture of some men in hats and coats. They are holding guns and flags. + +"They are soldiers," Tom says. "They are marching to fight. My dad told me about them. They are brave and strong." + +"I want to march too!" Mia says. She jumps off her seat and starts to walk like a soldier. She holds a stick like a gun. "Come on, Tom, let's march!" + +Tom follows her. They march around the bus. They sing a song. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a loud horn. It is the bus driver. He is angry. He sees the children in his bus. + +"Hey, you two, get out of my bus!" he shouts. "This is not a playground! This is a museum bus! It is for learning, not for playing!" + +Tom and Mia are scared. They drop their sticks and run to the door. They say sorry to the bus driver. They get off the bus. They go back to the park. + +They are sad. They liked the bus. They liked to march. + +But then, they see a big slide. It is shiny and new. It looks like fun. + +"Hey, look at that slide!" Mia says. "It is so cool!" + +"Can we go on it?" Tom asks. "Maybe it is a rocket slide!" + +They run to the slide. They climb the ladder. They slide down. They laugh and smile. + +They forget about the bus. They forget about the march. + +They are happy. They are friends. They like to play. +Ben and Mia were making a cake with Mom. They liked to stir the flour and sugar and eggs in a big bowl. Mom said they were good helpers. + +But then Ben felt something on his arm. It was a red spot. It was very itchy. He scratched it with his finger, but it did not go away. It made him feel bad. + +"Mom, look at my arm!" he said. "It itches a lot!" + +Mom looked at his arm and frowned. She said he had a rash. She said he was allergic to something. She said they had to go to the doctor. + +Mia was scared. She did not want Ben to be sick. She did not want to go to the doctor. She wanted to finish the cake.

They hoped they would be back soon. +Anna was curious about the big box in the living room. She wanted to see what was inside, but Mom said no. Mom said it was a surprise for her birthday, and she had to wait until tomorrow. + +Anna did not like to wait. She tried to peek at the box when Mom was not looking, but she could not open it. It was taped and tied with a ribbon. She tried to shake it, but it was too heavy. She tried to listen to it, but it did not make any sound. + +She decided to ask Dad for help. She found him in the kitchen, making a cake. "Dad, can you help me open the box?" she asked. + +Dad smiled and shook his head. "No, Anna, I can't. That would spoil the surprise. Mom and I worked hard to find something special for you. You have to be patient and wait until tomorrow." + +Anna pouted. "But I want to know what it is now. Please, Dad, just for a minute. I promise I won't tell Mom." + +Dad looked at her with a twinkle in his eye. "Well, maybe I can give you a little hint. But you have to promise me something too. You have to promise me that you will use it to improve your skills and have fun. Do you promise?" + +Anna nodded eagerly. "Yes, Dad, I promise. What is the hint?" + +Dad leaned closer and whispered in her ear. "It's something that you can ride, and it has two wheels." + +Anna gasped. "Is it a bike? A bike like yours?" + +Dad winked. "Maybe. You'll have to wait and see. Now, why don't you help me decorate the cake? We can make it look like a bike too." + +Anna smiled and hugged Dad. "Okay, Dad. Thank you for the hint. I can't wait to see my surprise. And I can't wait to ride my bike with you." +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pretty dress, and a smile. Lily took Anna everywhere, even to bed. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She brought Anna with her, of course. She saw a girl with a big doll. The doll looked like Anna, but bigger and shinier. The girl said, "Look at my doll. She is the best doll ever. She can talk and sing and dance. What can your doll do?" + +Lily felt sad. She said, "My doll can be my friend. She can hug me and listen to me. She can make me happy." The girl laughed. She said, "Your doll is fake. She is just plastic. She can't do anything. She is boring." + +Lily frowns. She doesn't like the girl. She thinks the girl is mean and rude. She hugs Anna and says, "I don't care what she says. You are not fake. You are real to me. You are the best doll ever." + +Then, something happened. The girl's doll started to make a loud noise. It said, "Error, error, error. Battery low. Battery low. Battery low." The girl looked scared. She said, "What's wrong with my doll? Why is she doing that?" She tried to turn her off, but she couldn't. The doll kept making noise and moving. + +Lily smiled. She said, "Maybe your doll is fake. Maybe she is just plastic. Maybe she can't be your friend. Maybe she is boring." She took Anna and walked away with her mom. She was happy. She knew Anna was real to her. She knew Anna was the best doll ever. +Lily was a bunny who liked to hop. She hopped all over the meadow, looking for yummy grass and flowers. She did not like to stay with her family, because she wanted to be independent. She thought she knew everything and did not need help. + +One day, she hopped too far and found a big road. She saw cars and trucks zooming by, making loud noises. She was curious and wanted to cross the road. She waited for a pass, when there were no cars or trucks. She thought she was smart and brave. + +But she did not see the big hawk in the sky. The hawk saw Lily and wanted to eat her. He swooped down and grabbed her with his sharp claws. Lily screamed and tried to wriggle free, but it was too late. + +"Help! Help!" she cried. "Mommy! Daddy!" + +Her family heard her and ran to the road. They saw the hawk flying away with Lily. They were very sad and scared. They wished they could save her, but they could not. + +They learned a hard lesson that day. They realized that being independent was not always good. Sometimes, they needed to listen and stay together. They hoped that Lily would be okay, but they did not know. They missed her very much. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. Today is a sunny day. It is summer, their favorite season. + +They see a big scale in the park. It can weigh people and animals. Tom and Lily want to try it. + +"Let's see how much we weigh," Tom says. He climbs on the scale. A number shows up. "I weigh 15 kilos," he says. + +Lily climbs on the scale too. She weighs the same as Tom. "We weigh the same," she says. "We are fair twins." + +They see a dog running in the park. It is brown and fluffy. It barks at them. Tom and Lily like dogs. They want to weigh the dog too. + +"Come here, doggy," Lily calls. She holds out her hand. The dog comes closer. It licks her hand. Lily giggles. + +"Can we weigh you, doggy?" Tom asks. He pats the dog's head. The dog wags its tail. It seems to say yes. + +Tom and Lily help the dog get on the scale. The scale shows a bigger number. "The dog weighs 20 kilos," Tom says. "He is heavier than us." + +The dog jumps off the scale. It runs around the park. Tom and Lily chase it. They have fun. They love summer. They love the park. They love the scale. They love the dog. They love each other. They are happy twins. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog with a long tail and a shiny collar. The dog looked friendly and wagged its tail at them. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Tom. + +"Let's ask the owner first," Tom said. He was a humble boy who always followed the rules. He saw a man sitting on a bench, holding a rope that was tied to the dog. He walked over to the man and said, "Hello, sir. Can we pet your dog?" + +The man smiled and nodded. "Sure, you can. His name is Rex. He is very gentle and loves children. Just be careful not to pull his ears or his tail." + +Tom and Lily thanked the man and went to Rex. They stroked his fur and scratched his ears. Rex licked their faces and made them giggle. + +"Can we play with Rex?" Lily asked the man. + +"Of course, you can. But you have to stay in the park and keep an eye on him. He likes to chase squirrels and birds. Here, you can hold his rope and lead him around." + +The man gave Tom the rope and Tom felt proud. He held the rope firmly and said to Lily, "Come on, let's go. I will lead Rex and you can follow me." + +They ran around the park, leading Rex to different places. They showed him the slide, the swing, the fountain and the flowers. They pointed at the things they saw and told Rex their names. Rex barked and wagged his tail. He was happy to have new friends. + +They had a lot of fun until it was time to go home. They brought Rex back to the man and said goodbye. + +"Thank you for letting us play with Rex," Tom said. + +"Thank you for being so kind and careful with him," the man said. + +Tom and Lily hugged Rex and waved to the man. They walked home, holding hands and talking about their adventure. They agreed that Rex was the best dog ever. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they found a notebook on a bench. It had many pictures and words in it. + +"Look, Lily, a notebook!" Tom said. "Maybe it is a story." + +Lily took the notebook and opened it. She saw a picture of a big dog. She liked dogs. She turned the page. She saw a picture of a small cat. She liked cats too. + +"Can I see, Lily?" Tom asked. He wanted to see the notebook too. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily said. She held the notebook tight. She did not want to share. + +Tom was angry. He tried to take the notebook from Lily. They pulled and pushed. The notebook ripped. The pages flew away. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They had broken the notebook. They did not know who it belonged to. They felt helpless. They could not fix it. + +A man came to the bench. He saw the ripped notebook and the pages. He was very mad. He shouted at Lily and Tom. + +"That was my notebook! It was very important! You have ruined it! How could you be so mean?" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not know what to say. They wished they had shared the notebook. They wished they had not fought. They wished they had not found the notebook. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to sort the fruits and vegetables that grew there. They put the red tomatoes in one basket, the green beans in another, and the yellow corn in a third. They had fun counting and naming the different things they found. + +But there was one thing they did not like: the squash. The squash was big and heavy and hard to carry. It was also orange, and they did not have a basket for orange things. They did not know what to do with the squash. + +They were anxious about the squash. They did not want to leave it in the garden, because it might get eaten by bugs or animals. They did not want to take it inside, because it might make a mess or break something. They did not want to throw it away, because that would be wasteful and rude. + +They decided to ask their mom for help. They called her and showed her the squash. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have an idea. Why don't we make some squash soup for dinner? It will be yummy and warm and good for you." + +Lila and Ben liked that idea. They helped their mom wash and cut the squash. They added some water and salt and pepper and cooked it in a big pot. They smelled the soup and it made their mouths water. They were happy and proud of their work. + +They ate the squash soup with some bread and cheese. They shared it with their dad and their dog. They all agreed that it was the best soup ever. They thanked their mom for teaching them how to use the squash. They learned that sometimes, the things that make you anxious can also make you happy. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in Tom's garage. Tom's dad has many things in the garage. He has tools, boxes, bikes, and cars. Tom and Anna like to pretend they are fixing things with the tools. + +One day, Tom and Anna find a big box in the garage. It has a label that says "supply". They are curious. They open the box. Inside, they see many toys. There are dolls, cars, balls, books, and puzzles. Tom and Anna are very happy. They think they are lucky. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Tom says. + +"Can we play with them?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, why not? They are in our garage. Maybe dad got them for us." Tom says. + +They take out the toys and start to play. They have fun with the dolls, the cars, the balls, the books, and the puzzles. They forget about the time. They do not hear Tom's dad coming home. + +Tom's dad sees the open box in the garage. He is surprised. He goes to the box and looks inside. He sees some toys missing. He is angry. He sees Tom and Anna playing with the toys. He is very angry. + +"Tom, Anna, what are you doing?" he shouts. + +Tom and Anna stop playing. They are scared. They see Tom's dad. He is very angry. + +"We are sorry, dad. We found this box. It says supply. We thought you got it for us." Tom says. + +"No, I did not get it for you. This is not your box. This is not your supply. This is for the school. I am a teacher. I have to take this box to the school tomorrow. You have to put the toys back in the box. Now!" Tom's dad says. + +Tom and Anna are sad. They like the toys. They do not want to put them back. But they have to. They are not lucky. They are sorry. They put the toys back in the box. They say sorry to Tom's dad. They go home. They do not play in the garage anymore. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big melon on a bench. It was green and round and looked yummy. + +"Who left this melon here?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone forgot it," Lily said. + +"Can we eat it?" Tom said. He was hungry. + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to eat the melon too, but she was honest. She said, "No, we can't. It is not ours. We have to find the owner and give it back." + +Tom was sad. He said, "But it looks so good. And no one is here. Maybe they don't want it anymore." + +Lily shook her head. She said, "That is not fair. We have to be honest. Come on, let's look around and see if we can find the owner." + +They took the melon and walked around the park. They asked everyone they met if the melon was theirs. But no one said yes. They were about to give up when they saw a man looking for something. + +"Excuse me, sir. Is this your melon?" Lily asked. + +The man looked surprised and happy. He said, "Yes, it is! Thank you so much for finding it. I left it here by mistake. I was going to have a picnic with my family. You are very kind and honest children. Here, you can have a slice of the melon as a reward." + +Tom and Lily smiled. They were glad they did the right thing. They enjoyed the melon with the man and his family. It was sweet and juicy. They made new friends and had fun in the park. +Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls in the living room. They had a lot of fun dressing them up with different cloths and making them talk. Lily liked to display her dolls on the sofa, so everyone could see how pretty they were. Ben liked to make his dolls do funny things, like jumping and dancing. + +"Look at my doll, Ben!" Lily said. "She has a pink cloth with flowers. She is very beautiful." + +"Look at my doll, Lily!" Ben said. "He has a blue cloth with stars. He is very brave." + +They smiled at each other and continued to play. + +But then, Mom came into the living room. She looked troubled. She saw the cloths on the dolls and frowned. + +"Lily, Ben, where did you get these cloths?" she asked. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They had taken the cloths from Mom's closet, when she was not looking. They thought she would not mind. + +"Mom, we are sorry," Lily said. "We wanted to make our dolls look nice." + +"Mom, we are sorry," Ben said. "We wanted to have fun with our dolls." + +Mom sighed. She was not angry, but she was not happy either. She picked up the cloths and held them in her hands. + +"These are not cloths for dolls, my dears," she said. "These are cloths for special occasions. They are very delicate and expensive. You should not play with them. You could damage them or lose them." + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They did not know the cloths were special. They did not want to hurt Mom or the cloths. + +"Mom, we are very sorry," they said together. "We did not know. We will not do it again." + +Mom smiled. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"I know you did not know, my dears," she said. "And I know you love your dolls. But you have to be careful with other people's things. You have to ask before you take them. And you have to respect them. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They said sorry again and gave Mom the dolls. Mom put the cloths back in her closet and gave them some other cloths to play with. They were not as pretty or as fancy, but they were still colorful and soft. Lily and Ben thanked Mom and went back to playing with their dolls. They were happy again. And Mom was happy too. +Tom and Lily were playing with their vehicles in the garden. Tom had a big red truck and Lily had a small yellow car. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road. + +"Beep beep! Out of my way!" Tom said, as he moved his truck closer to Lily's car. + +"No, you move! This is my lane!" Lily said, as she tried to keep her car away from Tom's truck. + +Tom did not listen. He wanted to have more space for his truck. He reached out and grabbed Lily's car from her hands. He threw it on the grass and laughed. + +"Ha ha! Now I have two vehicles and you have none!" Tom said, as he drove his truck and Lily's car around the garden. + +Lily was very sad and angry. She started to cry and ran to her mom, who was sitting on the porch. + +"Mommy, Tom took my car and threw it away! He is mean!" Lily said, as she hugged her mom. + +Mom looked at Tom and saw what he had done. She was not happy. She called Tom to come over. + +"Tom, why did you take Lily's car and throw it away? That was not nice. You should share your toys and play nicely with your sister. How do you think she feels?" Mom said, as she scolded Tom. + +Tom felt ashamed. He knew he had done something wrong. He looked at Lily and saw her tears. He felt sorry for her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was selfish and rude. I should not have grabbed your car and thrown it away. Can I give it back to you and say sorry?" Tom said, as he walked to Lily and handed her car back to her. + +Lily wiped her tears and smiled. She took her car and hugged Tom. + +"Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. Can we play together again?" Lily said, as she held her car. + +Tom nodded and smiled. He hugged Lily back. + +"Yes, we can. I'm sorry for being mean. Can we be friends again?" Tom said, as he held his truck. + +Lily and Tom went back to the garden and played with their vehicles. They made noises and pretended they were driving on the road. They shared their toys and played nicely with each other. Mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of them. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to a big store with their moms. The store has many toys and clothes. + +Anna sees a pretty dress. The dress is pink and has flowers. Anna wants the dress. She asks her mom to buy it. Her mom says no. The dress is too expensive. Anna is sad. She cries and screams. + +Ben sees a cool car. The car is red and has lights. Ben wants the car. He asks his mom to buy it. His mom says no. The car is too expensive. Ben is not sad. He says okay. He smiles and hugs his mom. + +Anna and Ben meet at the exit. Anna is still crying. Ben is still smiling. Anna asks Ben why he is happy. Ben says he does not need the car. He has a name. His name is Ben. He says his name is the best thing he has. He says his mom loves him and he loves his mom. + +Anna stops crying. She thinks about what Ben says. She has a name too. Her name is Anna. She says her name is the best thing she has. She says her mom loves her and she loves her mom. + +Anna and Ben hug. They are happy. They go home with their moms. They learn that expensive things are not important. Names and love are important. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they saw a big package on the porch. It had a tag that said "To Mom and Dad, from Grandma and Grandpa". Tom and Lily were curious and wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom said. + +"No, we can't. It's not for us. It's for Mom and Dad. They will be mad if we touch it." Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He ripped the tape and tore the paper. He saw a beautiful vase with flowers on it. He took it out of the package and held it in his hands. + +"Wow, look at this! It's so pretty!" Tom said. + +Lily was scared. She knew that the vase was very special and expensive. She tried to take it from Tom. + +"Give it back, Tom! You're going to break it!" Lily said. + +But Tom did not want to share. He pulled the vase away from Lily. They both tugged and pulled. The vase slipped from their hands and fell to the ground. It broke into many pieces. Tom and Lily gasped. + +"Oh no! We destroyed the vase! Mom and Dad will be so sad and angry!" Lily said. + +They heard the door open. It was Mom and Dad. They saw the broken vase and the dirty package. They were shocked and disappointed. + +"What did you do, Tom and Lily? How could you be so naughty and careless? This vase was a gift from Grandma and Grandpa. They made it with love and care. It was very rare and precious. You ruined it!" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They knew they had done a bad thing. They cried and apologized. + +"We're sorry, Mom and Dad. We were curious and selfish. We didn't mean to destroy the vase. We love you and Grandma and Grandpa. Please forgive us." Tom and Lily said. + +Mom and Dad hugged them and said they forgave them. But they also said they had to learn from their mistake. They had to respect other people's things and not touch them without permission. They had to be careful and gentle with things that are fragile and beautiful. They had to be honest and responsible for their actions. + +Tom and Lily nodded and said they understood. They promised to be better and more respectful. They helped Mom and Dad clean up the mess. They wrote a letter to Grandma and Grandpa to say they were sorry and that they loved them. They hoped they would not be too upset. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the yard. Lily had a doll and Tom had a jet. Tom liked to make the jet fly in the air and make loud noises. Lily liked to feed her doll with a spoon and a cup. + +"Tom, can I play with your jet?" Lily asked. + +"No, it is mine. You have your doll," Tom said. + +"But I want to try it. Please, Tom, just for a little bit," Lily said. + +"No, no, no. Go away, Lily. You are a baby. You will break my jet," Tom said. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to play with the jet too. She waited until Tom was not looking and ran to grab the jet. She pulled it hard from Tom's hand and ran away. + +"Hey, give it back. That is not fair. That is not nice," Tom shouted. + +He chased after Lily and tried to get his jet back. Lily ran faster and faster. She did not see the big rock in front of her. She tripped over the rock and fell down. The jet flew out of her hand and crashed into the fence. It broke into pieces. + +Lily and Tom both started to cry. They had hurt themselves and their toy. Their mom heard them and came to see what happened. She saw the broken jet and the bleeding knees. + +"Oh, no. What did you do? Why did you fight over the jet?" Mom asked. + +Lily and Tom could not answer. They felt sorry and ashamed. Mom hugged them and said she would clean their wounds and get them a band-aid. She said she would try to fix the jet, but she was not sure if it would work. + +She said they had to learn to share and be kind to each other. She said they had to say sorry and forgive each other. She said they had to play nicely and have fun. + +Lily and Tom nodded and said sorry and hugged each other. They hoped the jet would be fine, but they knew it was not. They had ruined their toy and their game. They wished they had not been so selfish and mean. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toy hammer and nails. They want to make a house for their dolls. Lily picks up a nail and tries to hit it with the hammer. But she is clumsy and misses the nail. She hits her finger instead. "Ow!" she cries. "That hurts!" + +Tom hears her cry and runs to her. He sees her finger is red and sore. He feels sorry for her. He says, "Are you okay, Lily? Do you want a band-aid?" He shows her his box of band-aids. They have different colors and shapes. + +Lily nods. She likes band-aids. They make her feel better. She says, "Yes, please, Tom. Can I have a pink one? It is my favorite color." She points to a pink band-aid with a heart on it. + +Tom nods. He takes out the pink band-aid and peels off the paper. He wraps it around Lily's finger gently. He says, "There you go, Lily. Now your finger is all better. Do you want to play some more?" + +Lily nods again. She smiles at Tom. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. Yes, I want to play some more. But can you help me with the nails? I don't want to hurt myself again." + +Tom nods. He says, "Sure, Lily. I will help you with the nails. We can make a house together. It will be fun." He picks up the hammer and the nail. He holds the nail steady and hits it with the hammer. He says, "Look, Lily. I did it. I nailed the nail." + +Lily claps her hands. She says, "Wow, Tom. You are good at nailing. Can I try too?" She takes the hammer and the nail from Tom. She holds the nail carefully and hits it with the hammer. She says, "Look, Tom. I did it too. I nailed the nail." + +Tom claps his hands. He says, "Good job, Lily. You are good at nailing too. Let's nail some more nails. Then we can finish our house." He gives her another nail and they both hit it with their hammers. They are happy and proud. They are making a house for their dolls. +Tom and Lily wanted to make a cake for Mom's birthday. They found a big bowl, some eggs, some flour and some sugar in the kitchen. They also saw a yellow stick on the table. It looked like cheese, but it was not cheese. It was butter. + +"Let's put some butter in the cake," Tom said. "It will make it yummy." + +"OK," Lily said. "But how do we get the butter out of the paper?" + +Tom had an idea. He took the butter and put it in the microwave. He pressed some buttons and waited. He thought the microwave would make the butter soft and easy to use. + +But he was wrong. The microwave made the butter very hot and melted. The paper around the butter caught fire. Smoke and flames came out of the microwave. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Lily shouted. They were very scared and worried. + +Mom heard their cries and ran to the kitchen. She saw the fire and grabbed a wet towel. She opened the microwave and tried to wrap the towel around the burning butter. But it was too late. The fire had spread to the curtains and the wall. The kitchen was on fire. + +Mom took Tom and Lily and ran out of the house. She called the firemen on her phone. They came with a big red truck and a loud siren. They sprayed water on the house and put out the fire. + +But the house was ruined. The cake was ruined. Mom's birthday was ruined. Tom and Lily felt very sorry and sad. They hugged Mom and said they were sorry. Mom hugged them back and said she loved them. But she was also very angry and sad. She wished they had never touched the butter. +Tom and Amy like to play with their toys. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. But sometimes they make a big mess in their room. Mommy is not happy when she sees the mess. She tells them to organize their toys and put them in the right places. + +"Tom, you take the cars and put them in the blue box. Amy, you take the dolls and put them in the pink basket. Then we can count how many toys you have," Mommy says. + +Tom and Amy start to organize their toys. They put the cars in the blue box and the dolls in the pink basket. They also put the blocks in the green bag and the books on the shelf. They work hard and fast. They want to make Mommy happy. + +"Look, Mommy, we are done!" Tom says. "Can we count our toys now?" + +"Sure, let's count them together," Mommy says. She helps them count the toys in each box, basket, bag, and shelf. They use their fingers to show the numbers. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" Amy says. She has ten dolls in her basket. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, zero!" Tom says. He has nine cars in his box. But he holds up a fake car that he made from paper. He pretends it is a real car. + +"Tom, that is not a real car. That is a fake car. You have nine cars, not ten," Mommy says. + +"But I like my fake car. It is my special car. Can I keep it?" Tom says. + +"Of course you can keep it. It is your car. But you have to say the right number. You have nine cars and one fake car," Mommy says. + +"Okay, Mommy. I have nine cars and one fake car. That is ten," Tom says. + +Mommy smiles and hugs them. She is proud of them. They organized their toys and counted them. They learned new words: organize, zero, and fake. They had fun playing with their toys. +Tom is a small boy who likes to play with his ball. He has a big ball that is red and yellow and bounces high. He likes to throw his ball in the air and catch it again. He also likes to kick his ball and run after it. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. It is Tuesday and the sun is shining. Tom sees a big hill and wants to roll his ball down it. He runs up the hill with his ball and gets ready to release it. + +"Are you sure, Tom?" his mom asks. "Your ball might go too far and you might lose it." + +Tom nods. He thinks his ball will come back to him. He releases his ball and watches it roll down the hill. It goes faster and faster and bounces over the grass. Tom runs after it, but he cannot catch it. + +The ball rolls out of the park and into the street. Tom stops at the gate and looks for his ball. He sees a big truck coming and hears a loud honk. He is scared and sad. He thinks his ball is gone. + +"Tom, come here!" his mom calls. She runs to him and hugs him. "It's okay, honey. We'll find your ball. Don't worry." + +Tom cries and hugs his mom. He wishes he did not release his ball. He learns a lesson.

She comes to the garden. She sees the cat. She knows the cat. The cat is her neighbor's pet. Her name is Ginger. Grandma picks up Tom and hugs him. She says sorry to Tom and Spot. She says Ginger is not a nice cat. She says they should stay away from Ginger. + +Tom and Spot nod. They do not like Ginger. They go to the other side of the garden. They play with the ball again.

The screen makes a beep sound. + +"Wow, Tom, that is fun!" Lila says. She makes a star on the screen. The screen makes a boop sound. + +They play with the screen for a long time. They make many shapes and sounds. They are happy. + +Then, a man comes by. He sees the screen. He wants the screen. + +"Hello, kids, what are you doing with that screen?" he asks. + +"We are playing with it. It is our screen. We found it in the trash," Lila says. + +"That is not a trash screen. That is a smart screen. It is very expensive. I will give you ten dollars for it," the man says. + +"Ten dollars? That is a lot of money. We can buy many candies with ten dollars," Tom says. + +"But we like the screen. It is magic. We do not want to sell it," Lila says. + +The man is not nice. He tries to take the screen from them. He pulls and pushes. Lila and Tom scream and cry. + +"Help, help, this man is stealing our screen!" they shout. + +A woman hears them. She is a police officer. She runs to them. She sees the man and the screen. + +"Stop, sir, what are you doing? Let go of the screen and the kids," she says. + +The man is scared. He drops the screen and runs away. The woman catches him. She puts him in her car. + +"Are you okay, kids? I am sorry that man tried to take your screen. He is a bad man. He will go to jail," she says. + +"Thank you, officer, you are a good woman. You saved our screen. It is our screen. We found it in the trash," Lila and Tom say. + +The woman smiles. She looks at the screen. She sees the shapes and sounds. + +"That is a very nice screen. You are very smart kids. You can keep the screen. But be careful. Do not play with it in the street.

Tom asked. + +"Maybe he is tired, or maybe he is waiting for his food," mom said. + +"Can we feed him?" Lily asked. + +"No, we can't. The zookeepers feed the hippos. They know what they like and how much they need," mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood that the hippo was not their pet. They had to respect him and his space. + +But then they saw a boy who did not understand. He climbed over the fence and ran towards the hippo. He had a bag of popcorn in his hand.

They pretend they are cowboys and cowgirls. They have hats and boots and horses. They ride their horses around the yard and look for bad guys. + +One day, they see a big blue mountain far away. They think it is a good place to explore. They tell their mom they want to go there. Mom says they can go, but they have to be careful and stay together. She gives them a picnic basket and some water. + +They ride their horses to the blue mountain. It is very high and rocky. They see some birds and squirrels and flowers.

Do you want to taste it?" + +Sara and Ben were curious and excited. They ran to the kitchen and saw a big bowl of ice-cream. But it was not the usual colors. It was green and purple and orange and blue. It looked like a rainbow. + +"What is this, mom?" Sara asked. + +"This is fruit ice-cream. I used bananas, grapes, oranges and blueberries to prepare it. It is healthy and yummy. Do you want to try some?" mom said. + +Sara and Ben nodded and took a spoon each. They scooped some ice-cream and put it in their mouths. They made a funny face. It was not what they expected. It was sour and bitter and sweet and tangy. They did not like it at all. + +"Mom, this is not good. We don't like it. Can we have some normal ice-cream, please?" Ben said. + +Mom smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my darlings. I wanted to make something different for you. But I guess you are not ready for it yet. Maybe when you are older, you will appreciate new flavors. But for now, you can have some normal ice-cream. I have some chocolate and vanilla in the freezer. But remember, you should always try new things. You might discover something you like." + +Sara and Ben thanked mom and hugged her. They learned that it is good to try new things, but it is also okay to have preferences. They enjoyed their normal ice-cream, but they also promised to try new things in the future. +Lily and Tom were playing in the sand. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They wanted to make a sand castle. + +"Look, Lily, I found a shell!" Tom said. He showed her a shiny shell with stripes. "Can we put it on our castle?" + +"Yes, Tom, that is a pretty shell.

But it was too dark and they could not see anything. + +"Hello, who is there?" A voice said from the hole. Lily and Tom jumped back and screamed. They were scared. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. She held Tom's hand. + +"I am a crab. And this is my home. Why are you peeking at me?" The voice said. + +"We are sorry, Mr. Crab. We did not know this was your home. We were looking for more sand to make castles." Tom said. + +"Well, you can have some of my sand. But please do not disturb me again. I like to sleep in the dark." The voice said. + +"Thank you, Mr. Crab. We will be quiet and careful." Lily said. She and Tom took some sand from the hole and filled their bucket. Then they went back to make another castle. + +They made a big castle with two shells on the top. They were happy and proud. They waved to the hole and said goodbye to Mr. Crab. Then they went to show their castles to their mom and dad. +Mia and Leo were restless. They wanted to go outside and play, but it was raining. They looked at the window and saw the gray sky and the wet grass. They felt bored and sad. + +Then, Mom had an idea. She said, "Why don't we visit Grandma? She lives in a big house with a lot of toys and books. Maybe she has some strawberries for us to eat. Do you like strawberries?" + +Mia and Leo nodded. They loved strawberries. They were sweet and juicy and red. They put on their coats and boots and got in the car. Mom drove them to Grandma's house. They sang songs on the way and saw some cows and horses. + +When they arrived, Grandma was waiting for them. She hugged them and kissed them and said, "I'm so happy to see you! Come in, come in. I have a surprise for you." She led them to the kitchen, where there was a big bowl of strawberries on the table. Mia and Leo's eyes lit up. They said, "Thank you, Grandma! We love strawberries!" + +They washed their hands and sat down. They ate the strawberries and talked to Grandma. She told them stories about when she was a little girl and showed them some pictures. They laughed and listened and asked questions. They forgot about the rain and the boredom. They felt happy and warm. + +After they finished the strawberries, Grandma said, "Do you want to play with some toys or read some books?" Mia and Leo said, "Yes, please!" They followed Grandma to the living room, where there was a big basket of toys and a shelf of books. They picked what they liked and played and read with Grandma.

They wondered what was behind it. + +"Let's go and see," said Lily. "Maybe we will find something incredible." + +"OK," said Ben. "But we have to be careful. And we have to tell the truth to Mom and Dad." + +They crawled through the hole and entered a new world. They saw bright flowers, tall trees, and funny animals.

We saw flowers and trees and animals. We had so much fun." + +Mom looked at them. She did not believe them. She thought they were making up a story. She shook her head. + +"That is not true," she said. "You are lying. There is nothing behind the fence. Just an empty lot. You are in big trouble. You have to go to your room. No more playing today." + +They felt sad and confused. They did not understand why Mom did not believe them. They knew they had seen something incredible.

It is his home." + +"But it is so pretty!" Mia said. "I want to touch it." + +Tom grabbed her hand. "No, Mia, don't touch it. You will break it and make the spider sad. And maybe he will bite you.

She decided to give him another chance. + +"Okay, Tom, I forgive you," Lily said. "But you have to promise me that you will be more careful and kind next time." + +"I promise, Lily," Tom said.

Do you want to join us?" + +Lily and Max look at each other. They nod. They like to try new things. They run to their moms. They are ready for yoga. + +The end. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play with trucks in the park. They have big trucks and small trucks. They make noises like vroom and beep. + +One day, they see a new truck in the park. It is very big and shiny. It has a long arm and a big bucket. Lily and Sam want to see the truck. + +"Can we go to the truck?" Lily asks Sam. + +"Yes, let's go!" Sam says. They run to the truck. + +They see a man in the truck. He is wearing a hat and a vest. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like my truck?" he asks. + +"Yes, we do!" Lily and Sam say. + +"This is a crane truck. I use it to lift and move things. Do you want to see how it works?" he asks. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Sam say. + +The man shows them how he can move the arm and the bucket. He lifts a big log and puts it in a pile. He lifts a big rock and puts it in another pile. He lifts a big tire and puts it in a third pile. + +Lily and Sam clap and cheer. They think the crane truck is amazing. + +"Wow, you are very good at your job!" Lily says. + +"Thank you, little lady. It is fun to work with a crane truck. But it is also hard work. I have to be careful and strong." the man says. + +"Can we try your truck?" Sam asks. + +The man laughs. He shakes his head. + +"Sorry, kids. This truck is not a toy. It is very dangerous. You have to be big and trained to use it. Maybe when you grow up, you can learn to drive a crane truck. But for now, you can only watch." he says. + +Lily and Sam are sad. They want to try the truck. But they understand the man. They know the truck is not a toy. + +"OK, we understand. Thank you for showing us your truck. It is very cool." Sam says. + +"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you like it. But I have to go now. I have to finish my work. Maybe I'll see you again in the park." the man says. + +He waves at them. He starts the truck. He drives away. + +Lily and Sam wave back. They watch the truck go. + +"Bye, crane truck!" they say. + +They go back to their trucks. They play with them. They pretend they are crane trucks. They lift and move things. They have fun. + +The end. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big ashtray that their dad gave them. It was shiny and round and had many colors. They liked to pretend it was a spaceship or a cake or a hat. + +One day, they had a fight over the ashtray. Sara wanted to use it as a spaceship and Tom wanted to use it as a cake. They both pulled and pulled on the ashtray, but neither would let go. + +"Give it to me!" Sara shouted. + +"No, it's mine!" Tom shouted back. + +They pulled so hard that the ashtray broke in two. They both fell back and looked at the pieces. They felt sad and sorry. They had broken their favorite toy. + +They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry." + +They hugged and said, "I love you." + +They decided to share the pieces of the ashtray. Sara used one half as a spaceship and Tom used the other half as a cake. They played nicely together and had fun. They learned that it was better to share than to separate. +Lily liked to play with her toy boat in the bath. She pretended she was a sailor and went on adventures. She had a blue hat, a red coat and a whistle. She made waves with her hand and sang songs. + +One day, her boat got stuck in the soap bubbles. Lily tried to reach it, but it was too far. She blew on the bubbles, but they did not pop. She felt sad and angry. She wanted her boat back. + +She called for her mom. Mom came and saw the problem. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lily. Your boat is still there. It did not go away. It just remained in the bubbles. Let me help you get it out." + +Mom took a spoon and scooped out the bubbles. She found the boat and gave it to Lily. Lily was happy and hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Being a sailor is fun, but sometimes it is difficult." Mom kissed her and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a brave sailor. I love you." They played together until the water got cold. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard when they saw dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise like a big train. It was a hurricane! + +"Come inside, quick!" Mom shouted from the door. "The hurricane is coming!" + +Tom and Lily ran to the house. They were scared. The wind was very strong and it made things fly in the air. They saw a tree fall down and a car move by itself. + +Mom took them to the basement. She gave them blankets and toys. She said they had to stay there until the hurricane was over. + +"Will we be okay, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, we will be okay," Mom said. "We just have to kneel and pray and wait for the storm to pass." + +Tom and Lily knelt with Mom and held her hands. They prayed for the hurricane to go away and for everyone to be safe. + +They heard the noise get quieter and quieter. After a long time, Mom said they could go upstairs and see what happened. + +They went to the living room and looked out the window. The sky was blue and the sun was shining. The yard was messy, but the house was still standing. + +"Look, Mom, look!" Tom pointed to the street. "There is a chubby dog!" + +They saw a chubby dog with brown fur and a red collar. He was wagging his tail and looking for someone. + +"Maybe he lost his home in the hurricane," Lily said. "Can we keep him, Mom?" + +Mom smiled and said they could. She said they would call him Lucky, because he was lucky to survive the hurricane. + +Tom and Lily were happy. They hugged Lucky and gave him some food and water. They decided to share their toys with him. + +They thanked God for keeping them safe and for sending them a new friend. They hoped the hurricane would never come back. +Lily had a bad cold. She coughed and sneezed a lot. Her nose was runny and her throat was sore. Her mom gave her some medicine to make her feel better. The medicine was sweet and sticky. Lily liked the medicine. + +Tommy was Lily's brother. He was jealous of Lily. He wanted some medicine too. He thought the medicine was candy. He did not have a cold. He was not sick. He was just greedy. + +When Lily was asleep, Tommy sneaked into her room. He saw the bottle of medicine on the nightstand. He grabbed the bottle and opened it. He tried to drink the medicine. But he did not like it. It was too sweet and sticky. It made him gag. He spit out the medicine. He wanted to release the bottle. But the bottle was slippery. He dropped the bottle on the floor. The bottle broke. The medicine spilled everywhere. + +Lily woke up. She saw Tommy and the mess. She was angry. She cried. She yelled at Tommy. Tommy was scared. He was sorry. He ran away. + +Mom heard the noise. She came into the room. She saw Lily and the mess. She was worried. She hugged Lily. She cleaned up the mess. She checked the bottle. She saw that there was still some medicine left. She gave Lily another dose of medicine. She told Lily that she loved her. She told Lily that she would get well soon. + +She went to find Tommy. She found him hiding under the bed. She pulled him out. She scolded him. She told him that he was naughty. She told him that he could have hurt himself or Lily.

It has a long tongue. + +"Wow, look at that snake!" Tim says. "It is so cool!" + +"Can we touch it?" Sam asks. He wants to see how the snake feels. + +"No, we can't!" Tim says. "The snake might bite us. It is tough and strong. We have to be careful." + +But Sam does not listen. He runs to the snake and tries to grab it. The snake hisses and moves away. Sam falls on the ground and cries. + +"Sam, are you okay?" Tim asks. He runs to his brother and helps him up. + +"I'm sorry, Tim," Sam says. "I was silly. I should have listened to you. You are the big brother. You know more." + +"It's okay, Sam," Tim says. "I'm glad you are not hurt. The snake is not bad. It is just scared. We have to respect it and leave it alone." + +They hug and walk back to their mom. She is sitting on a bench with a picnic basket. She smiles and gives them some sandwiches and juice. + +"Did you have fun in the park?" she asks. + +"Yes, mom," Tim says. "We saw a snake. It was amazing!" + +"But we did not touch it," Sam says. "We ordered it to go away. It was tough!" + +Mom laughs and hugs them. She is proud of her boys. They learned a lesson today. They love animals, but they also know how to be safe. +One day, Tom and Sue went for a walk with their dog Spot. They liked to walk in the park and see the flowers and the birds. Spot liked to run and play with other dogs. + +But today, it was raining a lot. The sky was gray and the ground was wet and muddy. Tom and Sue had to wear boots and coats and hats. Spot did not care. He still ran and played with other dogs. + +Soon, Tom and Sue saw a big puddle. They wanted to jump in it and splash. But their mom said, "No, no, you will get dirty and wet. Come on, let's go home." + +Tom and Sue were sad. They wanted to have fun in the puddle. But they listened to their mom and started to walk home. + +Spot did not listen. He saw the puddle and rushed to it. He jumped in it and splashed. He was very happy. He was also very dirty. He had mud on his fur and his paws and his nose. + +Tom and Sue saw Spot and laughed. He looked funny and silly. But their mom did not laugh. She said, "Oh, no, Spot, you are so dirty. You need a bath. Come on, let's go home." + +Spot did not want a bath. He liked to be dirty. But he followed Tom and Sue and their mom. He hoped they would not be mad at him. He just wanted to have fun in the puddle. +Tom and Lily are playing with paper. They have many colors of paper. They like to cut and glue the paper. They make shapes and animals and flowers. + +Tom wants to make a triangle. He cuts a big square of green paper. He folds it in half. He cuts along the fold. He has two triangles now. He is happy. + +Lily wants to make a circle. She cuts a big square of yellow paper. She tries to cut a round shape. But it is hard. Her circle is not smooth. It is rough. She is sad. + +Tom sees Lily's circle. He thinks it is funny. He laughs at Lily. He says, "That is not a circle. That is a potato." He takes Lily's circle. He tears it in half. He says, "Now it is two potatoes." + +Lily is angry. She cries. She says, "That is not nice. That is mean. Give me back my circle." She takes Tom's triangles. She tears them in half. She says, "Now you have no triangles. You have four small squares." + +Tom is angry. He cries. He says, "That is not fair. That is rude. Give me back my triangles." He tries to take Lily's circle. But Lily holds it tight. + +They pull and tug and shout. They tear the paper more and more. They make a big mess. They are not happy. They are not playing. They are fighting. +Sam and Mia liked to play with their plastic cars. They had many colors and shapes of cars. They liked to race them on the floor or on the table. Sometimes they made noises like vroom or beep. + +One day, they decided to race their cars on the stairs. They put their cars at the top and let them go down. They watched to see which car was the fastest. They cheered and laughed. + +But then, one of their cars got stuck on a step. It was Mia's car. It was pink and shiny. Mia was sad. She wanted her car back. She tried to reach it, but it was too high. + +"Sam, can you help me?" she asked. + +Sam looked at the car. He was taller than Mia, but not much. He stretched his arm, but he could not touch the car. + +"Sorry, Mia. I can't reach it either," he said. + +They looked around. They saw their big brother, Ben. He was reading a book on the couch. He was much taller than them. + +"Ben, can you help us?" they asked together. + +Ben looked up from his book. He saw their car on the step. He smiled. + +"Sure, I can help you," he said. He got up and walked to the stairs. He easily picked up the car and gave it to Mia. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very helpful," Mia said. + +"You're welcome, Mia. And you too, Sam. But be careful with your cars. The stairs are not a good place to race them. You could hurt yourselves or break your cars," Ben said. + +Sam and Mia nodded. They hugged their cars and their brother. They decided to race their cars on the floor again. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big tent with many flowers and people. They are curious and go closer. + +"What is this?" Anna asks. + +"It is a marriage," Ben says. "My mom told me. Two people who love each other say yes and get a ring." + +"Why do they do that?" Anna wonders. + +"Because they are happy and want to stay together," Ben explains. + +They watch the people in the tent. They see a man and a woman in nice clothes. The woman has a long white dress and a veil. The man has a black suit and a tie. They hold hands and smile. + +"They look nice," Anna says. + +"Yes, they do," Ben agrees. + +But then they notice something. The woman's face is very pale. She looks sick and tired. She coughs a lot and wipes her nose. The man looks worried and sad. + +"They don't look happy," Anna says. + +"No, they don't," Ben says. + +They feel sorry for the woman and the man. They wonder why they have a marriage if they are not well. + +"Maybe they want to have a marriage before the woman goes away," Ben says. + +"Goes away? Where?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe to a place where she can get better," Ben says. + +"Or maybe to heaven," Anna says. + +They don't understand what heaven is, but they have heard it is a nice place. They hope the woman can go there and be happy. + +They decide to do something nice for the woman and the man. They pick some flowers from the park and make a bouquet. They walk to the tent and give the flowers to the woman and the man. + +"Here, these are for you," Anna says. + +"We hope you feel better," Ben says. + +The woman and the man are surprised and touched. They thank Anna and Ben and hug them. They tell them they are very kind and sweet. They say they are happy to have a marriage and to have friends like them. + +Anna and Ben feel happy too. They smile and wave goodbye. They go back to the park and play. They think marriage is a good thing, but they also think health and friendship are important. They hope the woman and the man can have all of them. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. They have a group of toys that they share. They have cars, dolls, balls, and blocks. They have fun with their group of toys. + +One day, Sara and Tom see a new toy in the store. It is a big blue train. It has lights and sounds. It can move on the tracks. Sara and Tom want the blue train. They ask their moms to buy it for them. + +Their moms say no. They say the blue train is too expensive. They say Sara and Tom have enough toys. They say they should be happy with their group of toys. Sara and Tom are sad. They really want the blue train. + +Sara and Tom have an idea. They decide to sell their group of toys. They think they can get enough money to buy the blue train. They put their toys in a box. They go to the park. They ask other kids to buy their toys. Some kids say yes. Some kids say no. Sara and Tom sell all their toys. They get enough money to buy the blue train. + +Sara and Tom are happy. They run to the store. They buy the blue train. They take it home. They open the box. They put the train on the tracks. They turn it on. The train makes lights and sounds. It moves on the tracks. Sara and Tom smile. + +But soon, Sara and Tom get bored. The train does the same thing over and over. It is not as fun as they thought. They miss their group of toys. They miss their cars, dolls, balls, and blocks. They miss playing with different things. They wish they had not sold their toys. They cry. + +Sara and Tom are sad. They have the blue train. But they have no other toys. They have no friends. They have no fun. They made a bad choice. They are sorry. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +They ran to the tree and grabbed the branches. They pulled themselves up and moved higher and higher. They felt happy and brave. They saw birds and clouds and flowers. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a witch on a broom. She was flying in the air. She had a long nose and a black hat and a mean face. She saw Lily and Tom and wanted to catch them. + +"Ha ha ha!" she cackled. "I see two tasty children in the tree. I will grab them and put them in my pot. They will make a good soup for me!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They wanted to get down and run away. But the witch was fast and flew closer and closer. She reached out her hand and tried to grab Lily's hair. + +But the witch was clumsy. She did not see a branch in front of her. She hit the branch with her broom and lost her balance. She fell off the broom and landed on the ground. She hurt her nose and her hat and her broom. + +Lily and Tom saw the witch fall. They saw her groan and cry. They felt sorry for her. They climbed down the tree and went to her. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asked. + +"Ow ow ow!" the witch said. "My nose, my hat, my broom! They are all broken!" + +"Maybe we can help you," Tom said. "We can get some water and some bandages and some glue. We can fix your nose and your hat and your broom." + +The witch looked at Lily and Tom. She saw their kind eyes and their sweet smiles. She felt ashamed and sorry. She had been mean and greedy. + +"Thank you," the witch said. "You are very nice children. I was wrong to try to catch you. I am sorry. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They smiled and hugged the witch. They helped her get up and walked with her to the park bench. They got some water and some bandages and some glue. They fixed her nose and her hat and her broom. + +The witch felt better. She thanked Lily and Tom again. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She said goodbye and flew away. She waved and smiled. + +Lily and Tom waved and smiled back. They felt happy and proud. They had made a new friend. They went back to the tree and climbed and played. They had a lot of fun. +Anna and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Anna counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks for Ben behind the trees, under the bench, and in the slide. But she cannot find him. She starts to feel worried. Where is Ben? + +She calls out, "Ben, where are you? I give up, you win!" But there is no answer. She looks around and sees a big bush. Maybe Ben is hiding there. She runs to the bush and pulls the branches apart. But there is no Ben. There is only a small bird that flies away. + +Anna feels very sad and scared. She thinks, "Did Ben leave me? Did he get lost? Does he need help?" She starts to cry. She wants to see Ben again. She wants to hug him and say sorry for playing too long. + +Suddenly, she hears a voice behind her. It says, "Boo!" She turns around and sees Ben. He is smiling and holding a flower. He says, "I found you, Anna! You were looking in the wrong place. I was hiding behind the fence. I wanted to surprise you. Do you like the flower? It is for you." + +Anna feels happy and relieved. She wipes her tears and takes the flower. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very good at hiding. But you scared me. I thought you were gone. I was very worried. Please don't do that again." + +Ben hugs Anna and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to scare you. I was just having fun. I won't do that again. You are my best friend. I love you." + +Anna hugs Ben back and says, "I love you too, Ben. You are my best friend too. Let's go and play something else. But no more hiding, okay?" + +Ben nods and says, "Okay, Anna. No more hiding. Let's go and play on the swings. They are fun and easy to find." They hold hands and run to the swings. They laugh and swing together. They are happy. +Lily was a dog who liked to run and play. She had a big yard with a fence and a ball. She also had a friend, Max, who lived next door. Max was a cat who liked to nap and watch.

She pushed her nose through the hole and sniffed. She smelled something new and interesting. She wagged her tail and crawled through the hole. + +Max saw Lily leave the yard. He was worried and wanted to warn her. He ran to the fence and meowed. He saw Lily on the other side, near a big road. He saw cars and trucks and bikes and people. He saw that it was busy and dangerous. He meowed louder and louder. + +Lily heard Max and looked back. She saw him on the fence, with his ears back and his eyes wide. She saw that he was scared and angry. She wondered why he was making so much noise. She barked and wagged her tail. She wanted him to come and play. + +Max shook his head and hissed. He wanted her to come back and be safe. He saw a car coming fast and honking. He saw that it was close and loud. He saw that Lily did not see it or hear it. He meowed as loud as he could. + +Lily finally heard the car and turned her head. She saw that it was big and red and shiny. She saw that it was near and fast and scary.

They asked their mom if they could use it. + +"Sure, you can use the tent, but be careful and don't make a mess," mom said. + +Tom and Lily carried the tent to the grass. They set it up with some help from mom. They crawled inside the tent. It was dark and cozy. + +"What do you want to do in the tent?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. It's kind of boring in here," Lily said. + +"Let's pretend we are explorers. We can unite and go on an adventure," Tom said. + +"Okay, that sounds fun. Where are we going?" Lily asked. + +"We are going to the jungle. We have to watch out for wild animals and snakes," Tom said. + +They made noises like monkeys and birds. They pretended to see lions and crocodiles.

We are explorers. We unite and go on an adventure," Tom and Lily said. + +"That's wonderful. I'm glad you are using your imagination and having fun together," mom said. + +She gave them a hug and a snack. Tom and Lily thanked her and went back to the tent.

It was a big shiny thing on the ground. It looked like a bowl, but it was not a bowl. It was metal and had wires and buttons. Ben was curious. He wanted to see what it was. He flew high and then dived down to the shiny thing. + +But he dived too fast. He hit the shiny thing with his beak. It made a loud noise and sparks. Ben was scared. He hurt his beak and his head. He flew away from the shiny thing. He looked for his nest. His nest was in a tree. It was cozy and safe. He wanted to go to his nest. + +He found his nest and landed on it. He saw his friends. They were other birds who lived in the same tree. They saw his beak and his head. They were worried. They asked him what happened. Ben told them about the shiny thing. They said it was a bad thing. It was a trap. It was made by people. People sometimes put traps to catch birds. They said he was lucky to escape. + +Ben felt sad and sorry. He wished he did not dive to the shiny thing. He wished he was more careful. He learned a lesson. He decided not to dive to unusual things anymore. He decided to dive only to things he knew. He was happy to have his nest and his friends.

But she does not see the big hole in the ground. She falls into the hole and hurts her leg. She cries and cries and cries. + +Tom hears her cry and stops running. He runs back to help her.

The rainbow had a bridge made of clouds. The fairy was waiting for them on the other side. She waved and said, "Hello, Lily! Hello, Teddy! Come with me!" + +Lily and Teddy held hands and walked on the rainbow bridge. They felt warm and happy. They were going to the fairy castle. They were going to have a wonderful time. They were living their dream. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see an old man with a cane. He walks very slow. He looks sad. + +"Hello, sir," Lily says. "Why are you sad?" + +The old man stops and smiles. "I'm not sad, little girl. I'm just old. My legs hurt and my cane helps me walk." + +"Can we help you?" Ben asks. "We can walk with you and talk to you." + +The old man nods. "That's very kind of you, little boy. Thank you. What are your names?" + +"I'm Lily and this is Ben. We like to sing and run and play." + +"Sing? That's wonderful. I like to sing too. Do you know any songs?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They start to sing a song they learned at school. It is a happy song. The old man listens and claps his hands. He joins them and sings too. His voice is low and soft. + +They walk and sing together. They reach the pond. They see ducks and fish and frogs. They feed them bread and watch them swim. They laugh and have fun. + +The old man feels happy. He forgets his pain. He hugs Lily and Ben. "You are very good friends. You made my day. Thank you for singing with me." + +Lily and Ben smile. They hug him back. "You are welcome, sir. You have a nice voice. Thank you for walking with us." + +They say goodbye and wave. They run back to the park. They sing and play some more. They are fast and loud and happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They have fun. + +One day, they want to make a big castle with the blocks. They find a place in the corner of the room. They start to build the castle. They add more and more blocks. They make walls and doors and windows. They are happy. + +But then, Ben comes. Ben is a big boy. He is mean. He sees Tom and Mia's castle. He laughs. He says, "That is a silly castle. It is too small. It is not strong. I can break it." He kicks the castle. The blocks fall down. Tom and Mia are sad. They are angry. They are embarrassed. + +They look at Ben. They say, "That is not nice. You are not nice. You are a bully. Go away. We do not want to play with you." They pick up the blocks. They start to build the castle again. They do not care about Ben. They are brave. + +Ben feels bad. He sees that Tom and Mia are not scared of him. He sees that they are still friends. He sees that they are still happy. He feels sorry. He says, "I am sorry. I was wrong. I was mean. Can I help you? Can I play with you?" He picks up a block. He adds it to the castle. Tom and Mia look at him. They think. They say, "OK. You can help us. You can play with us. But you have to be nice. You have to be careful. You have to share." They smile. They make room for Ben. They finish the castle. They are proud. They are friends. +Tom and Mia were playing by the lake. They liked to throw pebbles into the water and watch the ripples. Tom saw a big pebble that was shiny and smooth. He wanted to pick it up and show Mia. + +"Look, Mia, look!" he said. "I found a pretty pebble. Do you want to see?" + +Mia came over and looked at the pebble. She liked it too. She wanted to touch it and feel how smooth it was. + +"Can I hold it, Tom?" she asked. "Please?" + +Tom nodded and gave her the pebble. Mia smiled and thanked him. She held the pebble in her hand and rubbed it with her fingers. + +Suddenly, a duck came out of the water and quacked loudly. It saw the pebble and thought it was food. It wanted to eat it. It waddled towards Mia and Tom and opened its beak. + +"Quack, quack, quack!" it said. + +Mia and Tom were scared. They did not want the duck to take their pebble. They did not want the duck to bite them. + +"Go away, duck, go away!" they shouted. "This is not food. This is our pebble. Leave us alone!" + +They ran away from the duck and towards the shore. They did not see a hole in the ground. It was deep and hidden by the grass. Mia stepped into the hole and tripped. She fell down and dropped the pebble. The pebble rolled into the water and sank. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Mia cried. "I hurt my knee. I lost the pebble. Where is the pebble?" + +Tom stopped and looked back. He saw Mia on the ground and the duck in the water. He felt sorry for Mia. He ran back and helped her up. + +"It's okay, Mia, it's okay," he said. "Don't cry. I will find another pebble for you. A prettier pebble. Come on, let's go." + +He hugged Mia and wiped her tears. He took her hand and led her away from the hole and the duck. They walked along the shore and looked for another pebble. They hoped to find one that was shiny and smooth. They hoped the duck would not bother them again. They hoped to have fun by the lake. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the pool. Lily had a new skirt that she wanted to show Tom. She put it on over her swimsuit and ran to the pool. + +"Look at my skirt, Tom! It is pink and has flowers. Do you like it?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, it is very pretty, Lily. But can you swim with it?" Tom wondered. + +"Of course I can! Watch me!" Lily said. She jumped into the pool and tried to dive. But her skirt was too big and heavy. It pulled her down and made it hard to breathe. Lily felt scared and started to cry. + +"Help, help! I can't swim!" Lily shouted. + +Tom heard her and quickly swam to her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the edge of the pool. He helped her get out and wrapped a towel around her. + +"Are you okay, Lily? That was very dangerous. You should not dive with a skirt. It is not for swimming. It is for wearing on land." Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I was silly. I wanted to show you my skirt, but I forgot about swimming. Thank you for saving me. You are a great friend." Lily said. + +"It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you are safe. You can show me your skirt later, when we are dry. But next time, please wear your swimsuit when you dive. It is more fun and safe." Tom said. + +Lily nodded and hugged Tom. She learned her lesson. She realized that diving with a skirt was not a good idea. She also learned that having a great friend was more important than having a great skirt. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today they want to go to the park with Mom. Mom says they have to hurry and put on their clothes. + +Sara runs to her room and picks a cheerful dress. It is pink and has flowers on it. She puts it on and looks in the mirror. She smiles and says, "I look pretty!" + +Ben runs to his room and picks a cheerful shirt. It is blue and has cars on it. He puts it on and looks in the mirror. He smiles and says, "I look cool!" + +They both run to the living room and show Mom their clothes. Mom says, "You both look very cheerful! Are you ready to go to the park?" + +Sara and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom! Let's go!" + +They grab their hats and shoes and follow Mom to the car. They are happy and excited. They can't wait to play in the park. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the snow. One day, they see a small igloo near the lake. They want to go inside and see what is there. + +"Who lives in the igloo?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe a penguin or a polar bear," Mia says. + +They walk to the igloo and peek inside. They see a big fish tank with many fish. The fish are colorful and shiny. They swim and jump in the water. + +"Wow, look at the fish!" Mia says. + +"They are so pretty!" Tom says. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is a man with a big coat and a hat. He is the owner of the igloo and the fish. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like my fish?" he says. + +"Yes, we do. They are very nice," Tom and Mia say. + +"Thank you. I am a scientist. I study the fish and the lake. Do you want to learn more about them?" he says. + +"Yes, please. Can we see them swim?" Tom and Mia say. + +"Sure. Come with me. I will show you my boat. We can go to the lake and watch the fish swim," he says. + +Tom and Mia follow the man to his boat. They put on life jackets and get on board. The man starts the engine and drives to the lake. They see the fish swim under the water. They are happy and curious. They learn many things about the fish and the lake. They have a lot of fun. They thank the man for showing them his igloo and his fish. They go back to the snow and play some more. They are good friends. +Ben likes to look at the stars at night. He sees many bright dots in the sky. Sometimes he sees a big dot that moves fast. He calls it a comet. He wants to meet a comet and say hello. + +One night, he sees a very big comet. It is bigger than the moon. It is red and yellow and orange. It makes a loud noise. Ben is happy. He thinks the comet is coming to meet him. He runs outside and waves his arms. + +But the comet is not friendly. It is angry and hot. It is coming to hit the earth. It is an unknown comet. It does not care about Ben or anyone else. It wants to destroy everything. + +Ben does not know this. He does not see the fire and smoke. He does not hear the screams and sirens. He only sees the comet getting closer and closer. He smiles and says, "Hello, comet!" + +The comet does not say hello back. It hits the ground with a big boom. It makes a huge hole. It makes a lot of dust. It makes everything dark and cold. Ben and the comet are gone. The end. +Lily was a little girl who liked to dream. Every night, she dreamed of a big castle with many rooms and windows. She dreamed of playing with the princess and the prince, and wearing pretty dresses and crowns. She dreamed of riding a horse and flying a kite in the big garden. + +One night, Lily had a bad dream. She dreamed that the castle was dark and scary. She dreamed that there was a big dragon who breathed fire and roared. She dreamed that the princess and the prince were hiding and crying. She dreamed that the dragon came to her room and tried to catch her. + +Lily was very afraid. She wanted to wake up and see her mommy and daddy. She wanted to hug her teddy bear and feel safe. She tried to scream, but no sound came out. She tried to run, but the dragon was faster. She felt the dragon's hot breath on her neck. + +Then, she heard a loud noise. It was her alarm clock. It was time to wake up. Lily opened her eyes and saw the sun shining through her window. She saw her mommy and daddy smiling at her. She saw her teddy bear on her pillow. She felt happy and relieved. + +She told her mommy and daddy about her dream. They hugged her and kissed her. They told her that it was only a dream, and that the castle and the dragon were not real. They told her that they loved her and that they would always protect her. They told her that she was brave and strong. + +Lily smiled and thanked them. She felt better and ready to start the day. She decided that she still liked to dream, but not of dark castles and dragons. She decided that she liked to dream of happy things, like rainbows and flowers and stars. She decided that she liked to dream of love. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were having tea with their toys. Tom had a blue cup and Lily had a green cup. They poured water from a big jug into their cups and said, "Cheers!" + +"Can I try your green cup?" Tom asked Lily. "It looks nice." + +"OK, but be careful. It is my favorite cup," Lily said. She gave Tom her green cup and took his blue cup. + +Tom drank some water from the green cup. He made a funny face. "Yuck! This water is sour!" he said. + +Lily laughed. "That is not water, silly. That is lemon juice. I like it. It is good for you." + +Tom did not like it. He put the green cup down on the table. He wanted his blue cup back. But he did not see the cat on the chair. The cat saw the green cup and jumped on the table. The cat knocked the green cup over and it fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. + +"Oh no! My green cup!" Lily cried. She was very sad. She loved her green cup. + +Tom felt sorry for Lily. He hugged her and said, "I am sorry, Lily. It was an accident. It did not mean to happen." + +Lily hugged him back and said, "It is OK, Tom. You are my friend. I still have you. And we can share your blue cup." + +They smiled and drank some water from the blue cup. They said, "Cheers!" again. The cat licked the lemon juice from the table and purred. +Tommy loves shrimp. He likes to eat them with his fingers and dip them in sauce. He thinks they are yummy and crunchy. But he does not like to share them with anyone. + +One day, Tommy goes to the park with his mom and dad. They bring a picnic basket with sandwiches, fruits, and shrimp. Tommy is very happy. He runs to the basket and grabs a handful of shrimp. He puts them in his pocket. + +"Tommy, what are you doing?" his mom asks. "You have to share the shrimp with us. They are not all for you." + +"No, they are mine!" Tommy says. "I love shrimp. You can have the other food." + +"Tommy, that is not nice. And it is not good to put shrimp in your pocket. They will get warm and smelly. Come on, let's sit on the blanket and eat together." his dad says. + +But Tommy does not listen. He runs away from his mom and dad. He finds a bench and sits on it. He takes out the shrimp from his pocket and starts to eat them. He feels very happy. + +But then, he sees a chubby cat. The cat is hungry and smells the shrimp. The cat jumps on the bench and tries to take the shrimp from Tommy. Tommy screams and holds the shrimp tight. + +"Go away, cat! These are my shrimp!" Tommy says. + +But the cat does not go away. The cat scratches Tommy's hand and makes him drop the shrimp. The cat grabs the shrimp and runs away. + +Tommy cries and runs back to his mom and dad. He has a scratch on his hand and no shrimp in his pocket. + +"Mommy, daddy, a cat took my shrimp!" Tommy says. + +"Oh, Tommy, I'm sorry. That must have hurt. Let me see your hand." his mom says. She cleans the scratch and puts a band-aid on it. + +"Tommy, why did you put shrimp in your pocket? That was not a good idea. You should have shared them with us. We have plenty of food for everyone." his dad says. + +Tommy feels sorry. He realizes he was greedy and rude. He hugs his mom and dad and says he is sorry. + +"It's okay, Tommy. We forgive you. But next time, please share your food and don't put shrimp in your pocket. They are better on a plate." his mom says. + +"Okay, mom. I will share next time. And I will not put shrimp in my pocket. They are too tasty for cats." Tommy says. + +They all laugh and sit on the blanket. They eat the sandwiches, the fruits, and the shrimp. Tommy shares his shrimp with his mom and dad. He thinks they are even more yummy and crunchy when he shares them. He is happy. +Lily and Tom are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They put one block on top of another block. They increase the tower. + +"Look, our tower is so high!" Lily says. + +"Yes, it is!" Tom says. + +But then, Ben comes. Ben is mean. He does not like to share. He wants to play with the blocks too. He pushes Lily and Tom away. He takes some blocks from their tower. He makes his own tower. + +"Hey, stop it!" Lily says. "That is our work!" + +"Go away!" Ben says. "These are my blocks!" + +Lily and Tom are sad and angry. They want their blocks back. They try to get them from Ben. But Ben is strong. He pushes them again. He laughs at them. + +"You are stupid!" Ben says. "You can't make a good tower!" + +Lily and Tom cry. They don't know what to do. They need help. + +Then, they see Mom. Mom is in the kitchen. She hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. + +"What is going on here?" Mom says. + +She sees the blocks. She sees the towers. She sees Lily and Tom crying. She sees Ben laughing. + +She is not happy. She is mad. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" Mom says. "Why are you being mean to Lily and Tom?" + +Ben stops laughing. He is scared. He knows he did something bad. + +"I-I-I just wanted to play with the blocks," Ben says. + +"But you can't take their blocks without asking," Mom says. "You can't push them and call them stupid. That is not nice. That is not how we play." + +Ben looks down. He feels sorry. + +"I'm sorry," Ben says. + +Mom makes Ben give the blocks back to Lily and Tom. She makes him say sorry to them. She makes him help them fix their tower. + +Lily and Tom stop crying. They smile. They forgive Ben. They let him play with them. + +They increase their tower together. They are happy. + +Mom smiles too. She is proud of them. She hugs them. + +"Good job, kids," Mom says. "You are very smart and kind." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a long river. It has blue water and green trees. They want to go near the river. + +They ask their moms if they can go. Their moms say yes, but they have to be careful. They have to hold hands and stay on the path. They have to come back soon. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They hold hands and march to the river. They march like soldiers. They say, "Left, right, left, right." They see birds and flowers and rocks. They hear the river make noise. + +They reach the river. It is big and shiny. They see fish and frogs and ducks. They want to touch the water. They bend down and dip their fingers. The water is cold and wet. + +They laugh and splash and play. They have fun. They forget the time. They hear their moms call them. They have to go back. They say bye to the river and the animals. They hold hands and march again. They say, "Left, right, left, right." They are tired but happy. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with stamps. They have many stamps with animals, cars, flowers and stars. They stick the stamps on paper and make pictures. + +One day, they have a game. They want to see who can make the best picture with stamps. Lily says, "I will win. I have the most stamps." Ben says, "No, I will win. I have the best stamps." They start to stick the stamps on paper. + +Sam is a nosy boy. He lives next door. He sees Lily and Ben playing with stamps. He wants to play too. He knocks on the door and says, "Can I play with you?" Lily and Ben say, "No, we are busy. We are having a game." Sam is sad. He goes away. + +Lily and Ben finish their pictures. They show them to each other. Lily's picture has many animals. Ben's picture has many cars. They both think their pictures are good. They do not know who wins. + +Sam comes back. He has a big smile. He says, "I have a surprise for you. Look what I have." He shows them a big book. The book has many stamps. The stamps are shiny and colorful. They have letters and numbers and flags and maps. Lily and Ben are amazed. They say, "Wow, where did you get that?" Sam says, "My grandpa gave it to me. He collects stamps. He has many books like this. He said I can share them with you if you want." Lily and Ben are happy. They say, "Yes, please. Can we see them?" Sam says, "Sure. Come with me." They go to Sam's house. They look at the stamps. They learn about different countries and places. They have fun. + +Lily and Ben forget about their game. They do not care who wins. They are glad they have a new friend. Sam is not nosy anymore. He is nice. They all like stamps. They play with stamps every day. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the woods. One day, they find a hut. The hut is old and small. It has a door and a window. + +"Let's go inside!" Ben says. He is curious. + +"No, Ben, it is not safe!" Mia says. She is scared. "Maybe someone lives there. Maybe they are angry." + +Ben does not listen. He runs to the hut and opens the door. Mia follows him. She does not want to be alone. + +Inside the hut, it is dark and dirty. There are some pots and pans, some blankets and some books. Ben and Mia notice a picture on the wall. It is a picture of a man. He has a beard and a hat. He looks strong and mean. + +"Who is he?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is the owner of the hut. Maybe he is a hunter. Maybe he is a robber." Mia says. + +Suddenly, they hear a noise. It is a loud and angry voice. + +"Who are you? What are you doing in my hut?" The voice says. + +Ben and Mia are afraid. They see the man from the picture. He is standing at the door. He has a gun and a dog. He looks strong and mean. + +"Please, sir, we are sorry. We just wanted to see your hut. We did not mean to bother you." Ben says. + +"Get out of here, now! Or I will shoot you and your dog!" The man says. + +Ben and Mia run out of the hut. They are scared and sorry. They run back to the woods. They do not look back. + +They learn a lesson. They should not go inside a hut that is not theirs. They should listen to Mia. She is smart and careful. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big orange pumpkin in their neighbor's garden. They wanted to touch it and see if it was soft or hard. + +"Can we go and see the pumpkin?" Sara asked Tom. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Mom said we should not go into other people's gardens without asking," Tom said. + +They walked quietly to the fence and looked at the pumpkin. It was very attractive, with a round shape and a green stem. Sara reached out her hand to touch it, but Tom stopped her. + +"Wait, Sara. I hear someone coming. Maybe it is the neighbor. We should hide," Tom said. + +They ran behind a bush and watched as an old lady came out of the house. She was holding a basket and a knife. She walked to the pumpkin and cut it off the vine. Then she put it in the basket and went back inside. + +"Wow, she took the pumpkin. Maybe she is going to make a pie or a soup," Sara said. + +"Or maybe she is going to carve a face on it and make a lantern. That's what mom does for Halloween," Tom said. + +"Halloween? What is Halloween?" Sara asked. + +Tom looked at her with surprise. "You don't remember Halloween? It is a fun day when we dress up and go trick-or-treating. We get candy and cookies and other treats. Mom always reminds us to say thank you and be polite. And we also decorate our house with pumpkins and spiders and ghosts. It is very spooky and fun," Tom said. + +Sara thought for a moment. Then she smiled and said, "Oh, yes, I remember Halloween. It is my favorite day. Can we go home and ask mom to help us make our costumes and lanterns?" + +"Sure, let's go. But first, let's say goodbye to the pumpkin. Maybe we will see it again when it is a lantern," Tom said. + +They waved to the pumpkin and ran back to their house. They were excited for Halloween and all the fun they would have. +Tom is a big boy who likes to study. He has many books with pictures and words. He likes to learn new things from his books. He also likes to make labels for his things. He has a label for his bed, his toy box, his chair and his desk. He thinks labels are helpful. They tell him what things are and where they belong. + +One day, Tom wants to study about animals. He takes a book with many animals on the cover. He opens the book and sees a picture of a lion. He knows what a lion is. It is big and yellow and has a mane. He also sees a word under the lion. It says "lion". He thinks this is a label for the lion. He likes this label. He says it out loud. "Lion". + +He turns the page and sees a picture of a monkey. He knows what a monkey is. It is small and brown and has a tail. He also sees a word under the monkey. It says "monkey".

It is long and green and has no legs. He does not see a word under the snake. He does not know what label to use for the snake. He does not like this. He wants to know what the snake is. + +He calls his mom. He shows her the book and the snake. He asks her what the snake is. His mom smiles and tells him. She says the snake is a snake. She says this is a label for the snake. She says it out loud. "Snake". + +Tom is happy. He learns a new label for a new animal. He says it out loud. "Snake". He thanks his mom for being helpful. He hugs her and goes back to his book. He wants to study more animals and labels. He thinks studying is fun. +Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They liked to throw the ball to each other and bounce it on the floor and the walls. + +One day, their mom came into their room. She looked sad and worried. She said, "Tom and Lily, I have some bad news. We have to move to a smaller house. We don't have enough money to stay here. We have to sell some of our things, including some of your toys." + +Tom and Lily felt very sad and angry. They did not want to move. They did not want to sell their toys. They said, "No, mom, we don't want to sell our toys. We love our toys. They are ours. Please don't take them away." + +Mom said, "I'm sorry, my loves, but we have no choice. We have to sell them to pay the rent. We have to pack them in this box and take them to the market. Maybe you can keep one toy each. Which one do you want to keep?" + +Tom and Lily looked at their toys. They had so many, but they only could keep one. They both wanted to keep the big red ball. They both said, "I want the ball. The ball is mine. Give me the ball." + +They started to fight over the ball. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The ball slipped from their hands and flew up in the air. It hit the ceiling hard and made a loud noise. The ceiling cracked and broke. Pieces of plaster and dust fell on Tom and Lily and their toys. They screamed and cried. + +Mom heard the noise and ran into the room. She saw the mess and the broken ceiling. She was very angry and scared. She said, "What have you done? You have ruined the ceiling. Now we have to pay more money to fix it. We can't sell any of your toys now. We have to throw them all away. You are very naughty and selfish. You have made everything worse." She took the ball from the floor and threw it in the trash. She grabbed Tom and Lily by their arms and dragged them out of the room. They sobbed and begged, but mom did not listen. She said, "You have no toys now. You have nothing. You have to learn to share and be grateful. Maybe then you will be happy." +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big box near the fence. It was brown and dull. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They ran to the box and opened it. It was empty. But there was a small hole in the side. Lily looked through the hole and saw a shadow. It was moving and making noises. + +"Hello, who are you?" Lily asked. + +"Help, help, let me out!" the shadow said. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They thought the shadow was a monster. They closed the box and locked it with a stick. They ran away to the house. + +"Mom, mom, there is a monster in the box!" they cried. + +Mom came out and saw the box. She heard the noises too. She took the stick and opened the box. She saw a small cat. It was black and dirty. It was not a monster. It was just a lost kitty. + +"Aw, poor kitty, how did you get in there?" Mom said. She picked up the cat and cuddled it. It purred and licked her face. + +Lily and Tom felt sorry for the kitty. They realized they had made a mistake. They went to Mom and the cat. + +"Sorry, kitty, we thought you were a monster. We were afraid of your shadow. Can we be your friends?" they said. + +The kitty looked at them and meowed. It was happy to have new friends. Mom smiled and said they could keep the kitty. They named it Shadow. They played with it and gave it food and water. They learned not to judge by shadows. They had fun with their new pet. +Tom and Mia like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, houses, bridges and more with their blocks. They have fun and use their imagination. + +One day, they decide to make a very big tower with all their blocks. They want to see how high they can go. They start to stack the blocks on the floor, one on top of the other. They include all kinds of blocks: square, round, triangle, star. They make sure the blocks are balanced and steady. + +They keep adding more and more blocks to their tower. It grows taller and taller. It reaches the table, then the chair, then the window. Tom and Mia are very happy and proud. They think their tower is the most impressive tower ever. They want to show it to their mom and dad. + +But then, something happens. A loud noise makes them jump. It is their dog, Rex, who barks and runs into the room. He sees the tower and thinks it is a toy. He jumps and tries to catch the top block. He knocks down the tower with his tail. The blocks fall and crash on the floor. Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They shout at Rex and tell him to go away. + +Mom and dad hear the noise and come to see what is wrong. They see the mess and the upset children. They hug them and comfort them. They tell them they are sorry about their tower. They also tell them they are proud of their work. They say they saw their tower before Rex ruined it. They say it was very impressive and creative. They ask them if they want to make another tower with them. Tom and Mia smile and nod. They forgive Rex and give him a pat. They pick up the blocks and start again. They have fun and use their imagination. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They were having fun until Ben saw Lily's fork on the table. He wanted to play with it. + +"Give me the fork!" Ben said to Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "Mommy gave it to me for my birthday. It's smooth and shiny and pretty." + +Ben did not listen. He grabbed the fork and ran away. Lily cried and chased him. + +"Give it back! Give it back!" Lily shouted. + +Ben laughed and ran to his room. He slammed the door and locked it. He looked at the fork and smiled. He thought it would be fun to destroy it. He threw it on the floor and stomped on it. He bent it and twisted it. He scratched it and broke it. He made the fork ugly and ruined. + +Lily knocked on the door and begged Ben to open it. She heard the noises and guessed what he was doing. She felt sad and angry. + +"Stop it! Stop it!" Lily screamed. "You're mean and bad and naughty!" + +But Ben did not stop. He kept destroying the fork until it was nothing but pieces. He felt proud and happy. He opened the door and showed Lily what he had done. + +"Look what I did!" Ben said. "I destroyed your fork! Ha ha ha!" + +Lily saw the fork and burst into tears. She ran to Mommy and told her what Ben had done. Mommy was shocked and furious. She scolded Ben and took away his truck. She made him apologize to Lily and give her a hug. She threw away the fork and bought Lily a new one. + +But Lily did not forgive Ben. She did not hug him back. She did not play with him anymore. She hated him for destroying her fork. She wished he would go away. She was very unhappy. + +The end. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with pens and paper. They draw animals and cars and flowers. They share their pens and paper. + +One day, Ben has a new pen. It is blue and shiny. He likes it very much. He draws a big fish with his new pen. Mia sees his new pen and wants to try it. She asks Ben, "Can I use your new pen, please?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes his new pen, but he also likes Mia. He is gentle and kind. He says, "OK, you can use my new pen, but be careful. It is my favorite pen." + +Mia is happy. She says, "Thank you, Ben. I will be careful. I will draw a butterfly with your new pen." She takes the pen and draws a butterfly. It is colorful and pretty. + +Ben and Mia look at their drawings. They are proud of their work. They smile and hug. They are good friends. They part their pens and paper and put them in their bags. They say, "Bye, bye. See you tomorrow." They wave and go home. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. Ben had a toy sword and Lily had a crown. + +"Look, Lily, I see a dragon!" Ben said, pointing to a big slide. "Let's go and fight it!" + +"OK, Ben, but be careful!" Lily said. She followed him to the slide. + +Ben climbed up the ladder and waved his sword. He made a loud roar. "I am the brave knight Ben! I will save the princess from the dragon!" + +Lily waited at the bottom of the slide. She clapped her hands. "You can do it, Ben!" + +But then, a smelly dog came running to the slide. It barked and jumped on Ben. Ben dropped his sword and screamed. The dog licked his face. + +"Help, Lily, help!" Ben cried. "The dragon is eating me!" + +Lily ran to Ben and the dog. She grabbed the sword and waved it at the dog. "Go away, you bad dragon! Leave Ben alone!" + +The dog was scared of the sword. It ran away, wagging its tail. + +Ben and Lily hugged each other. They were happy and safe. + +"Thank you, Lily, you are the best princess ever!" Ben said. + +"And you are the best knight ever, Ben!" Lily said. + +They smiled and went to play some more. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to sing. They sang all the time, in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. They sang in their room, in the kitchen, and in the garden. They sang happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. + +One day, their mom asked them to help her clean the floor. She said it was very dirty and they had to be serious and work hard. Tom and Lily did not want to clean the floor. They wanted to sing. They said, "Mom, can we sing while we clean the floor?" + +Mom said, "No, you cannot sing while you clean the floor. You have to focus and do a good job. Singing will make you distracted and careless. You can sing later, after you finish the task." + +Tom and Lily were not happy. They thought mom was mean and boring. They decided to sing anyway, when mom was not looking. They sang very quietly, but they also cleaned very slowly. They did not pay attention to the dirt and the dust. They did not use the mop and the cloth properly. They made the floor more messy and wet. + +Mom came back and saw the floor. She was very angry and disappointed. She said, "Tom and Lily, what have you done? The floor is worse than before. You did not listen to me. You did not do your duty. You were not serious. You were only singing." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had made a mistake. They said, "Mom, we are sorry. We were wrong. We should have listened to you. We should have been serious. We should not have sung while we cleaned the floor." + +Mom said, "I forgive you, but you have to learn from this. Singing is fun, but it is not always appropriate. There is a time and a place for everything. Sometimes you have to be serious and do what you have to do. Sometimes you have to put aside your wants and think of others. Sometimes you have to respect the rules and the expectations. That is how you grow up and become responsible and respectful." + +Tom and Lily nodded and hugged mom. They said, "Thank you, mom. We understand. We will try to be better. We will sing when it is the right time, and we will be serious when it is the right time." + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said, "I love you, Tom and Lily. You are my sweet and smart twins. Now, let's clean the floor together, and then we can sing a song to celebrate." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big box under a tree. It was brown and had a lock. They were curious. + +"What is in the box?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe toys or candy," Ben said. + +They wanted to open the box, but they could not. The lock was too hard. They tried to pull, push and kick, but nothing worked. + +"Let's think. How can we open the box?" Ben said. + +Lily looked around. She saw a rubber ball near the slide. It was red and bouncy. She had an idea. + +"Maybe we can use the ball. We can throw it at the lock and break it," she said. + +She picked up the ball and threw it at the box. The ball bounced back and hit her in the nose. She cried. + +"Ow! That hurt!" she said. + +Ben hugged her and said, "I'm sorry. Are you okay?" + +Lily nodded. She wiped her tears and said, "Let's try again. But this time, you throw the ball and I stand back." + +Ben agreed. He took the ball and threw it at the box. The ball hit the lock and made a loud noise. The lock broke and the box opened. + +They ran to the box and looked inside. They saw a lot of shiny things. They saw coins, rings, necklaces and bracelets. They were gold and silver and had jewels. They were beautiful. + +"Wow! Look at all these treasures!" Lily said. + +"Who put them here? Why are they in the park?" Ben said. + +They did not know. It was a mystery. They wondered if they could keep some of the treasures. They liked them very much. + +But then they heard a voice. It was angry and scary. + +"Hey! What are you doing with my box? Give it back to me!" the voice said. + +They looked up and saw a man. He was big and mean. He had a beard and a hat. He was holding a stick. He was the owner of the box. + +They were afraid. They dropped the treasures and ran away. They did not want to get in trouble. + +They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. They told them what happened. They said they were sorry for being naughty. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "It's okay. We're glad you're safe. But next time, don't touch things that don't belong to you. They might be dangerous or belong to someone else." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They did not want to play with the box anymore. They wanted to play with their own toys. They were happy and safe. +Ben and Lily liked to watch the screen. They watched cartoons and songs and games. Sometimes they watched too much and forgot to play outside or do their homework. + +One day, Mom said, "No more screen for you today. You have to do your homework and help me with the dishes. The screen is not good for your eyes and your brain." + +Ben and Lily did not listen. They waited for Mom to go to the kitchen. Then they sneaked to the living room and turned on the screen. They watched their favorite show and laughed. + +Mom came back and saw them. She was very angry. She said, "You did not listen to me. You are very naughty. You have to turn off the screen and go to your room. No more screen for a week." + +Ben and Lily cried. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We forgot. Please, let us watch a little more." + +Mom said, "No. You have to learn your lesson. The screen is not your friend. It makes you forget and makes you different. You have to remind yourself to do other things. Now go to your room and think about what you did." + +Ben and Lily turned off the screen and went to their room. They felt sad and bored. They wished they had listened to Mom. They missed the screen, but they also missed playing outside and doing their homework. They realized that the screen was not the only thing that made them happy. +Lila and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were lions and roar at each other. They also liked to chase the birds and the bugs. + +But there was one bug they did not like. It was a mosquito. It was small and black and had a long nose. It liked to bite them and make them itch. It was disgusting. + +One day, they saw a mosquito flying near them. They tried to roar at it, but it did not go away. It flew closer and closer to Lila's ear. + +"Go away, mosquito!" Lila shouted. "You are not nice!" + +But the mosquito did not listen. It landed on Lila's ear and bit her. Lila felt a sharp pain and a big bump. She cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" + +Ben heard Lila's cry and ran to her. He saw the mosquito on her ear and got angry. He slapped it hard with his hand and squished it. It fell to the ground and did not move. + +"Are you okay, Lila?" Ben asked. "I got the mosquito. It is gone now." + +Lila touched her ear and felt the bump. It still hurt, but she was glad Ben was there. She hugged him and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a brave lion. You saved me from the disgusting mosquito." + +Ben smiled and hugged her back. He said, "You are welcome, Lila. You are a strong lion. You did not give up." + +They decided to go inside and get some ice for Lila's ear. They also decided to play something else. They did not want to see any more mosquitoes. They were disgusting. +Anna and Ben are going on a big plane with Mom and Dad. They are very happy and excited. They have a bag with toys and books and snacks. They also have a passport. A passport is a small book with their name and picture. They need it to go on the plane. + +They get to the airport and wait in a long line. Mom and Dad give their passports to a man in a uniform. He looks at them and stamps them. Then he asks for Anna and Ben's passports. Mom and Dad look in their bag, but they cannot find them. They look very worried and scared. + +"Where are your passports, kids?" Mom asks. + +"I don't know, Mom. I thought you had them," Anna says. + +"Me too," Ben says. + +The man in the uniform says they cannot go on the plane without passports. He says they have to go back home and find them. Mom and Dad look very sad and angry. Anna and Ben feel very bad and sorry. They want to go on the plane and have fun. They feel helpless. + +"Please, can you help us?" Mom begs the man in the uniform. + +"I'm sorry, I can't. Those are the rules," the man says. + +"Is there anyone who can help us?" Dad asks. + +The man shakes his head. He says they have to leave the line and make room for other people. He says they can try to get another plane later, if they find their passports. + +Mom and Dad take Anna and Ben by the hand and walk away. They look around the airport, hoping to see their passports somewhere. They ask other people if they have seen them, but no one has. They feel very lost and sad. They don't know what to do. They hug Anna and Ben and tell them they love them. They say they will try to fix the problem. They say they will still go on the plane, someday. +Lily wanted to play with her duck toy in the bathtub. She loved to make bubbles and splash with her duck. But she could not find her duck toy anywhere. She searched in her room, in the living room, in the kitchen, but no duck. She felt sad and asked her mom for help. + +"Mom, where is my duck toy?" Lily asked. + +"Did you look in the bathroom?" Mom asked. + +"No, I did not. Maybe it is there!" Lily said. She ran to the bathroom and searched in the bathtub. She saw something yellow and smiled. She reached for it, but it was not her duck toy. It was a banana peel. + +"Yuck! Who put this in the bathtub?" Lily said. + +"I did, Lily. I was eating a banana and I forgot to throw the peel away. I'm sorry." Mom said. + +"That's okay, Mom. But where is my duck toy?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe it is in the laundry basket. I washed your clothes today and maybe your duck toy was in them." Mom said. + +Lily searched in the laundry basket and found her duck toy. It was clean and fluffy. She hugged it and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. Can I play in the bathtub now?" + +"Sure, Lily. But first, let me take the banana peel out. We don't want it to make the water dirty. Bananas are good for eating, not for bathing. They make you healthy and strong." Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. I like bananas too. But I like my duck toy more." Lily said. She filled the bathtub with water and bubbles and played with her duck toy. She was happy and healthy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily had a red bucket and Ben had a blue one. They filled their buckets with worms, beetles and snails. + +"Look, Lily, I found something!" Ben shouted. He held up a green and brown thing that jumped and croaked. "What is it?" + +Lily looked at the thing and made a face. "It is a frog, Ben. A very ugly frog. It has big eyes and warts and a slimy skin. I don't like it. Put it back in the dirt." + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, I like it. It is not ugly, it is cute. It can hop and sing and swim. I want to keep it. I will name it Fred." + +Lily frowned. "But Ben, frogs don't belong in buckets. They need water and plants and other frogs. Fred will be sad and lonely in your bucket. He will miss his home." + +Ben thought for a moment. He looked at Fred and saw that he was not happy. He saw that his eyes were dry and his skin was cracking. He felt sorry for Fred. He said, "You are right, Lily. Fred needs his home. I will take him to the pond and let him go. Maybe he will find a friend there." + +Lily smiled. "That is very kind of you, Ben. Fred will be happy in the pond. Maybe we can visit him sometime." + +Ben nodded. He took his bucket and walked to the pond. He gently put Fred in the water and watched him swim away. He said, "Goodbye, Fred. Have fun. Thank you for being my friend for a little while." + +The end. +Tom and Lily are young twins who like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They think it is a waste box, but they want to see what is inside. + +They open the box and find many old things: books, clothes, shoes, and a teddy bear. They are happy and start to take out the things and play with them. + +"Look, Lily, I found a hat!" Tom says, putting a red hat on his head. + +"Wow, Tom, you look funny!" Lily says, laughing. She picks up the teddy bear and hugs it. "And I found a friend!" + +They have fun with the old things, but they make a big mess. They throw the books and clothes on the floor and forget to put them back in the box. + +Soon, their mom comes to the garage and sees the mess. She is angry and says, "Tom and Lily, what are you doing? This is not a waste box, this is a donation box! These things are for people who need them, not for you to play with!" + +Tom and Lily are scared and say, "Sorry, mom, we did not know. We just wanted to have fun." + +Mom says, "I know, but you have to be careful and respectful. These things are not yours, they belong to someone else. Now, help me put them back in the box and shut it. Then, go to your room and think about what you did." + +Tom and Lily feel bad and do what mom says. They put the things back in the box and shut it. They say goodbye to the teddy bear and the hat. They go to their room and think about how they can be more careful and respectful next time. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. But today, they have to go to the doctor. They do not like the doctor. He gives them shots and looks in their ears. + +"Come on, Sara and Ben, it is time to go," Mom says. She holds their hands and walks to the car. + +"No, no, no!" Sara and Ben say. They resist. They pull their hands and cry. They do not want to go. + +"Please, Sara and Ben, be good," Mom says. "The doctor is nice. He will help you stay healthy. And after, we can get ice cream." + +Sara and Ben stop crying. They like ice cream. They get in the car and buckle their seats. Mom drives to the doctor. + +At the doctor, Sara and Ben sit on the couch. They look at the books and toys. They see other kids. Some are happy, some are sad. + +"Hello, Sara and Ben," the doctor says. He smiles and wears a white coat. He has a stethoscope and a clipboard. "Are you ready?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They follow the doctor to a room. He checks their height and weight. He listens to their hearts and lungs. He looks in their ears and mouths. He says they are growing well. + +"Now, I need to give you a shot," the doctor says. "It will protect you from germs. It will hurt a little, but only for a second." + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They are scared. They hold Mom's hand. + +"Can I go first?" Sara asks. She is brave. + +"Sure, Sara," the doctor says. He gives her a band-aid with a star. He puts the shot in her arm. Sara winces. She says, "Ow!" + +"You did great, Sara," Mom says. She hugs her. + +"Your turn, Ben," the doctor says. He gives him a band-aid with a car. He puts the shot in his arm. Ben cries. He says, "Ouch!" + +"You did great, too, Ben," Mom says. She hugs him. + +"Good job, Sara and Ben," the doctor says. "You are very good kids. You can pick a sticker from the box." + +Sara and Ben smile. They pick their stickers. They say, "Thank you, doctor." + +"You're welcome, Sara and Ben," the doctor says. "Have a nice day. And enjoy your ice cream." + +Sara and Ben wave goodbye. They walk to the car with Mom. They are happy. They did not like the shots, but they did not resist. They were good. They are proud of themselves. And they can't wait to eat their ice cream. +Anna and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Anna got a new bracelet from her mom. It was shiny and pink and had a heart on it. Anna was very happy and showed it to Lily. + +"Wow, your bracelet is so pretty!" Lily said. "Can I try it on?" + +"Okay, but be careful. It is my favorite," Anna said. She took off the bracelet and gave it to Lily. + +Lily put the bracelet on her wrist and smiled. She liked how it sparkled in the sun. She wanted to keep it for herself. She thought Anna had many other toys and would not miss it. + +"Can I have your bracelet, Anna? Please?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily. It is mine. Mom gave it to me. You have to give it back," Anna said. + +"But I like it so much. You can have one of my toys instead," Lily said. + +"No, Lily. That is not fair. You are being selfish. A good friend does not take things that belong to others," Anna said. + +Lily felt angry and stubborn. She did not want to listen to Anna. She ran away with the bracelet. Anna ran after her, but Lily was faster. She ran across the street, not looking for cars. Suddenly, a big car honked and screeched. Lily was scared and stopped. The car almost hit her, but the driver was quick and swerved. Lily fell down and scraped her knee. The bracelet flew off her wrist and landed on the road. + +Anna saw what happened and ran to Lily. She was worried and scared. She knelt down next to Lily and hugged her. + +"Lily, are you okay? That was very dangerous. You could have been hurt," Anna said. + +Lily was crying and bleeding. She felt pain and guilt. She realized she was wrong to take Anna's bracelet. She looked at the bracelet on the road. It was broken and dirty. She felt sad and sorry. + +"Anna, I'm sorry. I was a bad friend. I should not have taken your bracelet. I was greedy and mean. Please forgive me," Lily said. + +Anna looked at Lily and saw that she was sincere. She felt sorry for Lily and forgave her. She knew that Lily learned her lesson. She also saw that her bracelet was ruined. She felt sad, but she also knew that it was just a thing. Her friendship with Lily was more important. + +"It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. You are still my best friend. I'm glad you are safe. The bracelet does not matter. We can share other things," Anna said. + +They hugged and made up. They went to Anna's mom, who cleaned Lily's wound and gave her a band-aid. She also gave them both a cookie and a hug. She was proud of them for being brave and kind. She told them that they should always be honest and respectful with each other. She said that friendship is a precious gift that should be cherished and protected. + +Anna and Lily agreed and thanked her. They learned that being a good friend means being generous and loyal, not selfish and greedy. They also learned to be careful and look both ways before crossing the street. They decided to play with their dolls and dress up again, and to share their toys and clothes. They were happy and grateful for their friendship. They smiled and held hands. They were best friends. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But today, they are bored. They want to do something new. + +"Look, Tom," Lily says. "The sun is shining. Let's go outside and play." + +"OK, Lily," Tom says. "But how do we go outside? The door is locked. Mom and Dad are not here. They went to the store." + +Lily thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She points to the window. "We can go out from the window. It is not locked. We can open it and climb down." + +Tom nods. He likes the idea. He goes to the window and tries to open it. But the window is heavy. He cannot lift it. He pushes and pulls, but nothing happens. + +"Help me, Lily," Tom says. "The window is heavy. I need your help." + +Lily goes to the window and helps Tom. They push and pull together. The window moves a little bit. They see a small gap. They are happy. + +"Good job, Tom and Lily," a voice says. "But what are you doing?" + +Tom and Lily turn around. They see Mom and Dad. They are back from the store. They look surprised and angry. + +"Mom, Dad," Tom and Lily say. "We are sorry. We wanted to go outside and play. The door was locked. So we tried to open the window." + +Mom and Dad shake their heads. They are not happy. They go to the window and close it. They lock it. + +"Tom and Lily, you are naughty," Mom says. "You cannot go out from the window. It is dangerous. You can fall and hurt yourself. You have to wait for us to come back. You have to stay in your room and play with your toys and books." + +"But Mom, we are bored," Tom and Lily say. "We have played with all our toys and books. We want to do something new." + +Mom and Dad sigh. They understand. They love Tom and Lily. They want them to have fun. But they also want them to be safe. + +"OK, Tom and Lily," Dad says. "We have a surprise for you. We bought something new for you from the store. Do you want to see it?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They are curious. They forget about the window. They follow Mom and Dad to the living room. There, they see a big box. It has a picture of a tent on it. + +"A tent!" Tom and Lily say. "Wow! Thank you, Mom and Dad!" + +Mom and Dad smile. They help Tom and Lily to set up the tent in the backyard. They give them some pillows and blankets. They let them play in the tent. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They have a new toy. They have a new place to play. They do not need the window anymore. They poke each other and giggle. They pretend they are camping. They have fun. +Mia and Sam were twins who liked to help their mom with grocery. They each had a small cart that they pushed around the store and put things in. Mom gave them a list of things to find, like milk, eggs, bread, and apples. + +One day, they saw a big cake with pink frosting and sprinkles in the bakery. It looked so yummy and pretty. Mia wanted the cake very much, but Sam said no. He said they had to follow the list and not be silly. Mia was sad and angry. She tried to grab the cake, but Sam pulled her away. The cake fell off the shelf and smashed on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Mom said, when she heard the loud noise. She ran over to see what happened. She saw the cake all over the floor, and Mia and Sam with their carts. She was very upset. She said they had to pay for the cake, and they had to go home right away. She said they were naughty and not helpful. + +Mia and Sam felt very sorry. They said they were sorry to Mom and to the baker. They helped to clean up the mess. They wept and hugged each other. They said they would not fight over cake again. They said they would be good and listen to Mom. + +Mom was still mad, but she also loved them. She said they made a big mistake, but they could learn from it. She said they could still have a small piece of cake at home, if they were good for the rest of the day. She said they were still her sweet twins, even when they were silly. She kissed them and hugged them. They smiled and said they loved Mom. They went home with their grocery and their cake. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big rabbit. The rabbit is eating their mom's vegetables. Sam and Ben want to catch the rabbit. + +"Look, a rabbit!" Sam says. "Let's get it!" + +They run after the rabbit. The rabbit is fast. It hops and jumps. Sam and Ben can't catch it. They are tired and angry. + +"Stop, rabbit!" Ben shouts. "You are bad! You are eating our mom's vegetables!" + +But the rabbit does not stop. It does not hear Ben. The rabbit is deaf. It can't hear anything. + +The rabbit sees a fence. It leans on the fence. The fence is old and weak. It breaks. The rabbit falls on the other side. Sam and Ben run to the fence. They look over. They see a big dog. The dog is not deaf. It hears the rabbit. It barks and runs to the rabbit. The rabbit is scared. It tries to run away. But the dog is faster. It catches the rabbit. + +Sam and Ben feel sorry for the rabbit. They wish they did not chase it. They wish they were kind to it. + +"Mom, mom!" they cry. "The rabbit is in trouble! The dog has it!" + +Their mom comes out. She sees the rabbit and the dog. She calls the dog's owner. He comes and takes the dog away. He says sorry to Sam and Ben and their mom. He says he will fix the fence. He says he will give them some vegetables. + +Sam and Ben are happy. They thank the dog's owner. They hug their mom. They learn a lesson. They learn to be nice to animals. They learn to share their vegetables. They learn to be good brothers. +Tim and Jen were friends who liked to play on the shore. They liked to find shells and rocks and make castles with sand. One day, they saw a big fat bird on the shore. It was white and had a long neck and a big beak. It looked sad and hurt. + +"Hello, bird. Why are you sad?" Tim asked. + +"I am sad because I cannot fly. I hurt my wing and I cannot go back to my home in the sky. I miss my family and friends," the bird said. + +"Can we help you?" Jen asked. + +"Maybe you can. If you can find some sticks and leaves and make a nest for me, I can rest and restore my wing. Then I can fly again and be happy," the bird said. + +Tim and Jen wanted to help the bird. They looked for sticks and leaves and made a nest for the bird. They put the bird in the nest and gave it some water and bread. + +"Thank you, Tim and Jen. You are very kind and good. I will rest and restore my wing and then I will fly again and be happy," the bird said. + +Tim and Jen were happy too. They played on the shore and watched the bird in the nest. They hoped the bird would get better soon. + +But the next day, when they came back to the shore, they saw a bad thing. The bird was gone and the nest was broken. There were feathers and blood on the sand. And there was a big fat cat on the shore. It had a big belly and a big smile. It licked its paws and looked at Tim and Jen. + +"Hello, Tim and Jen. You are very kind and good. You gave me a nice meal. The bird was fat and tasty. I ate it and I am happy," the cat said. + +Tim and Jen were very sad and angry. They cried and yelled at the cat. They threw rocks and sticks at the cat. But the cat did not care. It ran away and left Tim and Jen alone on the shore. They lost their friend and their nest. They felt bad and sorry. They wished they never met the bird and the cat. They wished they could restore the bird and the nest. But they could not. The end. +Sara and Ben were wealthy kids. They had a big house, many toys, and nice clothes. They liked to play outside in the sun, but today it was raining. They were bored and sad. + +"Mom, can we go out?" Sara asked. + +"No, dear, it's too wet and cold. Why don't you play with your pastels?" Mom said. + +"Pastels are boring. We want to run and jump and have fun," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and had an idea. She took them to the garage, where Dad kept his old car. It was dirty and rusty, but it had many colors. + +"Look, kids, this is a pastel car. You can paint it with your pastels and make it beautiful," Mom said. + +Sara and Ben were curious and excited. They took their pastels and started to draw on the car. They made flowers, stars, hearts, and animals. They used red, blue, yellow, green, and pink. They laughed and talked and had fun. + +The rain stopped and the sun came out. Mom came to see their work. She was amazed and proud. + +"Wow, kids, you made a masterpiece. You are very creative and talented," Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom. We love you and we love our pastel car," Sara and Ben said. + +They hugged Mom and then ran to the garden to play. They were happy and grateful. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play at school. They had a lot of fun with the toys, the books and the blackboard. The blackboard was big and green, and they could draw and write on it with chalk. + +One day, Tom and Lily had an idea. They wanted to play a game with the blackboard. They took some chalk and wrote some silly words on it. They wrote "teacher is bad", "school is boring" and "math is hard". They thought it was funny and laughed. + +But then, the teacher came in and saw the blackboard. She was very angry and sad. She asked Tom and Lily why they did that. Tom and Lily felt ashamed and scared. They said they were sorry and that they were just playing. + +The teacher said that playing is good, but not when it hurts someone else. She said that words can hurt as much as sticks and stones, and that they should be kind and respectful. She said that the blackboard was not a toy, but a tool for learning and sharing. She said that they had to erase the words and write something nice instead. + +Tom and Lily understood that they did something wrong. They took a cloth and wiped the blackboard clean. Then they wrote "teacher is good", "school is fun" and "math is easy". They also drew some hearts and flowers. They showed the teacher and said they were sorry again. + +The teacher smiled and hugged them. She said that she forgave them and that she was proud of them. She said that they learned a valuable lesson. She said that words can heal as well as hurt, and that they should use them wisely and kindly. She said that the blackboard was a gift, not a curse. She said that they could still play with it, but in a positive and creative way. + +Tom and Lily felt happy and relieved. They thanked the teacher and said they loved her. They also said they loved school and math. They decided to play a new game with the blackboard. They wrote and drew things that made them and others happy. They had fun and learned a lot. They were good friends and good students. +Tom and Anna like to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is the camera. The camera is flexible. It can bend and twist and make funny shapes. Tom and Anna like to take pictures of each other and their toys. + +One day, Tom and Anna are playing with the camera in the living room. They see a big stain on the wall. It is brown and sticky. They wonder what it is. + +"Look, Anna, a stain!" Tom says. + +"Maybe it is chocolate," Anna says. + +"Let's take a picture of it," Tom says. + +They bend the camera and point it at the stain. They press the button. The camera makes a click sound. They look at the screen. They see the stain, but they also see something else. They see a face. It is their baby brother, Sam. He is smiling and holding a spoon. + +"Sam!" Tom and Anna shout. + +Sam giggles. He has chocolate all over his face and hands. He has been eating from the jar in the kitchen. He has also been wiping the chocolate on the wall. + +"Sam, you are naughty!" Tom says. + +"Sam, you are messy!" Anna says. + +"Sam, you are cute!" they both say. + +They run to Sam and hug him. They also wipe his face and hands with a cloth. They laugh and play with him. They take more pictures of him and the stain. They show them to their mom and dad. They are not angry. They are happy. They say the stain is art. They say Sam is a genius. They say Tom and Anna are good siblings. They all hug and smile. They love each other. The end. +Sara and Ben were friends who liked to write. They wrote stories, letters, and jokes on paper. They also wrote on the wall, the table, and the floor. They thought it was fun to write everywhere. + +One day, they found a big marker in the kitchen. They decided to write on the fridge. They wrote their names, a heart, and a smiley face. They were very happy with their result. + +But then, mom came home and saw the fridge. She was very angry. She said, "Who wrote on the fridge? This is very bad. You ruined the fridge. It is dead. You have to clean it now." + +Sara and Ben were scared. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to write. We did not know it was bad. We will clean it." + +Mom said, "Writing is good, but you have to write on the right place. You can write on paper, or on a board, or on a book. But you cannot write on the fridge, or the wall, or the floor. That is wrong. You have to respect other things. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will not write on the wrong place again. We will respect other things." + +Mom said, "That is good. I forgive you. But you still have to clean the fridge. And then, you can write on paper and show me your result. I like to see your writing, but only on the right place." + +Sara and Ben said, "OK, mom. Thank you. We love you." They hugged mom and went to clean the fridge. They learned their lesson. They only wrote on the right place after that. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park when it started to rain. They ran to the big tree to stay dry, but the rain was too heavy and the tree was too small. + +"I'm cold and wet," Sara said. She shivered and hugged her teddy bear. + +"Me too," Ben said. He looked around and saw a blue umbrella on a bench. "Look, Sara, an umbrella! Maybe we can use it." + +They ran to the bench and picked up the umbrella. It was big and had white stars on it. They opened it and held it over their heads. + +"Wow, this is nice," Sara said. She smiled and twirled under the umbrella. She looked like a graceful dancer. + +Ben smiled too and joined her. They danced and sang under the umbrella, forgetting about the rain. They felt warm and happy. + +The owner of the umbrella was a kind lady who saw them from her window. She smiled and decided to let them keep it. She thought they looked like two bright stars in the gray sky. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the mall with Mom. The mall has many shops and people. The twins watch everything with big eyes. + +One day, they see a big fountain in the mall. The fountain has water that goes up and down. The water makes pretty colors and sounds. Anna and Ben want to touch the water. They run to the fountain. + +Mom sees them and says, "Stop! The water is wet and the floor is dry. You will slip and fall. You will get hurt." But Anna and Ben do not listen. They reach the fountain and put their hands in the water. + +The water is cold and wet. The twins laugh and splash. But then, they slip on the dry floor. They fall and bump their heads. They cry and say, "Ow! Ow! Ow!" + +Mom runs to them and hugs them. She says, "I told you to be careful. The water is fun, but the floor is not. You have to watch where you go." She takes them to a shop and buys them ice cream. The ice cream is sweet and cold. The twins stop crying and say, "Thank you, Mom. We are sorry. We will watch next time." Mom smiles and says, "I love you, Anna and Ben. You are my silly twins." +Tim and Kim are on a team. They like to play soccer with their friends. They wear red shirts and clean shoes. They run and kick the ball on the grass. + +One day, they have a big game. They want to win and have fun. They play hard and try their best. But the other team is good too. They wear blue shirts and have fast feet. + +Tim and Kim run after the ball. They are close to the goal. They want to score and make their team happy. But then, Tim stumbles on a rock. He falls down and hurts his knee. He cries and says "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Kim sees Tim on the ground. She stops and runs to him. She says "Are you okay, Tim? I'm sorry you stumbled. You are brave and strong. I will help you get up." + +She holds his hand and helps him stand. She hugs him and says "Don't worry, Tim. We are still a team. We can still play and have fun. Come on, let's go and kick the ball again." + +Tim smiles and says "Thank you, Kim. You are a good friend. You are kind and sweet. Let's go and play again." + +They run and kick the ball again. They score and make their team happy. They cheer and clap. They have fun and win the game. They are a good team. They are happy. +Tommy was a famous singer. He sang very well and many people liked him. He had many toys and books and clothes. He was very happy. + +One day, he went to a big show. He saw many other singers there. They were also very good. He wanted to be better than them. He wanted to have all the people clap for him. + +He sang his song very loud and fast. He did not listen to the music. He did not smile. He did not have fun. He only wanted to win. + +But he did not win. He did not sing very well. He made many mistakes. The people did not clap for him. They clapped for another singer. She sang very sweet and soft. She listened to the music. She smiled. She had fun. + +Tommy felt very sad. He felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He wanted to cry. He ran to his mom. She hugged him and said, "What is wrong, Tommy?" + +Tommy said, "I did not win. I sang very bad. I wanted to be the best. But I was not." + +His mom said, "Tommy, you are a very good singer. But you do not have to be the best. You have to enjoy singing. You have to share your voice with others. You have to be kind and humble. That is what makes you famous. Not how loud or fast you sing. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded. He said, "I understand, mom. I am sorry. I will try to be better. I will sing with joy and love. I will be happy for others. I will be famous in my heart." + +His mom smiled. She said, "That is good, Tommy. I am proud of you. Now, let's go and say sorry to the other singers. And let's clap for them. And let's have some cake. Cake always makes your stomach feel better." + +Tommy smiled. He said, "Yes, mom. Let's go. I love you. And I love singing." + +The end. +Ben and Mia were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big cardboard box that was their ship, and a stick that was their sword. They also had a hook that Mia's dad had given them. It was made of plastic, but it looked like a real hook. + +"Arrr, matey, I'm the captain of this ship!" Ben said, putting the hook on his hand. + +"No, I'm the captain, you're the first mate!" Mia said, waving her sword. + +They pretended to fight, but they were really having fun. They made noises like cannons and waves and seagulls. + +Suddenly, Ben felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to hold it in, but he couldn't. He sneezed very loudly, and the hook flew off his hand. It landed on a branch of a big tree. + +"Oh no, my hook!" Ben cried. + +"Look, it's up there!" Mia pointed. + +They ran to the tree and looked up. The hook was hanging from the branch, but it was too high for them to reach. + +"How can we get it back?" Ben asked. + +Mia thought for a moment. She saw a rope that was tied to a swing. She had an idea. + +"Maybe we can use the rope to get the hook!" she said. + +She untied the rope from the swing and threw one end over the branch. She pulled the rope until it was close to the hook. She tied a knot on the rope and gave the other end to Ben. + +"Pull the rope, Ben!" she said. + +Ben pulled the rope hard. The hook moved a little, but it was stuck on the branch. + +"Pull harder, Ben!" Mia said. + +Ben pulled harder. The hook moved more, but it was still stuck. + +"Pull harder, Ben!" Mia said again. + +Ben pulled as hard as he could. The hook finally came off the branch, but it was so heavy that it pulled Ben down. He fell on the ground with a thud. + +"Ouch!" Ben said. + +Mia ran to him and helped him up. She saw the hook on the ground. She picked it up and gave it to Ben. + +"Here's your hook, Ben. Are you okay?" she asked. + +Ben rubbed his head. He smiled and took the hook. + +"Thank you, Mia. I'm okay. You're a good pirate!" he said. + +They hugged and laughed. They put the hook and the sword back in their box. They decided to play something else. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a small village. They liked to play outside and explore new places. One day, they saw a big hill behind their house. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"OK, Tom!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mom and Dad said we should not go too far." + +They put on their hats and shoes and took some water and snacks. They walked along the path that led to the hill. They saw some flowers, birds and bugs on the way. They admired the colors and sounds of nature. + +They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw their village on one side, with the houses, the school and the church. They saw the fields and the woods on the other side, with the cows, the sheep and the trees. But they also saw something else. Something unknown. + +"Look, Lily!" Tom said. "There is another village over there! It is different from ours. It has different buildings and different people. I wonder what they do and how they live." + +"Wow, Tom!" Lily said. "It is amazing! I want to go and see it. Maybe we can make some new friends." + +They started to walk down the hill towards the unknown village. They were curious and excited. They did not notice that the sky was getting dark and the wind was getting strong. They did not hear the thunder and the rain that were coming. They did not know that they were in trouble. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big tree with many flowers. The flowers were pink and white and smelled good. + +"Look, Ben, a bee!" Lily said. She pointed to a yellow and black bug that flew near the flowers. + +"Let's catch it!" Ben said. He ran after the bee. He wanted to see it up close. + +"No, Ben, don't!" Lily said. She was scared of bees. She heard that they could sting and hurt. She followed Ben and tried to stop him. + +The bee saw Ben and flew away. Ben did not give up. He jumped and reached for the bee. But he missed and fell on the ground. He saw something shiny under a leaf. It was a silver ring. + +"Wow, what is this?" Ben said. He picked up the ring and looked at it. It had a red stone that sparkled in the sun. + +"Let me see!" Lily said. She came closer and looked at the ring too. It was very pretty. + +"Maybe it is magic," Ben said. He put the ring on his finger and made a wish. He wished for a spicy pizza. + +Suddenly, they smelled something yummy. They turned around and saw a man with a bike and a box. He was wearing a red hat and a red shirt. + +"Hello, kids, I have a delivery for you," the man said. He opened the box and showed them a big pizza with cheese and pepperoni. + +"Wow, it worked!" Ben said. He could not believe his eyes. + +"Who ordered this pizza?" Lily asked. She was confused. + +"I don't know, but it has your name on it," the man said. He pointed to a sticker on the box that said "Ben and Lily". + +"Thank you, mister!" Ben and Lily said. They took the pizza and ran to a bench. They were very hungry and happy. + +They ate the pizza and shared it with the man. It was very spicy and tasty. They did not know where the ring came from, but they decided to keep it as a secret. They thought it was a lucky ring. They smiled and hugged each other. They had a fun day in the park. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the garden. They had a big bucket of soil that they used to make hills and holes. Sometimes they also threw soil at each other and laughed. + +One day, they saw a big truck parked outside their house. It had a powerful machine on the back that could dig and move soil. Tom and Sam wanted to see the machine up close, so they sneaked out of the garden and ran to the truck. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said, touching the machine. "It has a big arm and a big scoop. I wonder what it does." + +"Maybe it can make bigger hills and holes than we can," Sam said. "Let's try it!" + +Tom climbed into the truck and found a button that said "start". He pushed it and the machine came to life. It made a loud noise and the arm moved up and down. Sam cheered and climbed into the scoop. + +"Tom, lift me up!" Sam said. "I want to see the sky!" + +Tom pulled a lever and the arm lifted Sam higher and higher. Sam felt like he was flying. He waved his arms and shouted. + +But then, something bad happened. Tom pushed another lever by mistake and the scoop opened. Sam fell out of the scoop and landed on the ground. He hit his head and did not move. The machine also scattered soil all over the street and the cars and the people. + +Tom was scared and jumped out of the truck. He ran to Sam and tried to wake him up. But Sam did not open his eyes or say anything. Tom cried and cried. + +Soon, their mom and dad came and saw what happened. They were very angry and sad. They called an ambulance and took Sam away. Tom did not know if Sam would be okay. He wished he had never touched the machine. He wished he had stayed in the garden and played with soil. He wished he had been a good brother. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun and laughing. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was an ambulance. It had a red light and a siren. It was going very fast. Anna and Ben stopped playing and looked at the ambulance. + +"Where is it going?" Anna asked. + +"Maybe someone is hurt," Ben said. + +They saw the ambulance turn into a street near the park. They decided to follow it and see what happened. They ran after the ambulance, holding hands. + +They reached the street and saw a crowd of people. They saw the ambulance parked in front of a house. They saw two men in white clothes carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher was a woman. She looked pale and sad. + +"Who is she?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. + +They saw a man come out of the house. He looked like the woman's husband. He looked worried and scared. He followed the stretcher to the ambulance. + +"Is she okay?" he asked the men in white. + +"We don't know yet. She seems very sick. We have to take her to the hospital," one of the men said. + +The man nodded and got into the ambulance with the woman. The ambulance closed its doors and drove away. The siren was loud again. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for the woman and the man. They wondered what was wrong with her. They hoped she would get better. + +They walked back to the park, holding hands. They didn't feel like playing anymore. They sat on a bench and watched the birds. + +They realized that life was not always ordinary. Sometimes, bad things happened. Sometimes, people got sick. Sometimes, people needed help. + +They hugged each other and said a silent prayer for the woman and the man. They hoped they would see them again, happy and healthy. They hoped they would never need an ambulance. + + +Tom was a little boy who liked to walk. He walked to the park, to the store, to his friend's house. He walked everywhere he could. One day, he saw a big truck on the road. It was shiny and loud and had a lot of steel on it. Tom wanted to see it up close, so he walked to the truck. + +But the truck driver did not see Tom. He was busy talking on his phone. He started the truck and drove away. Tom was scared. He tried to run away, but the truck was too fast. It hit Tom and knocked him down. Tom felt a lot of pain. He cried and cried. + +A lady saw what happened. She ran to Tom and called for help. She held Tom's hand and told him it would be okay. She was very kind. Soon, an ambulance came. The ambulance had a siren and a red light. It took Tom to the hospital. The doctors and nurses helped Tom. They gave him medicine and a bandage. They told him he was brave. + +Tom's mom and dad came to the hospital. They hugged Tom and kissed him. They were very worried. They thanked the lady and the doctors and nurses. They told Tom they loved him. Tom felt better. He was still hurt, but he was not helpless. He had a lot of people who cared for him. He smiled and said he was sorry for walking to the truck. He learned to be more careful. He still liked to walk, but he always looked both ways. + + + +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trains. One day, Ben has a new toy. It is a big red car. He puts it in a case. The case is blue and has a lock. + +"Wow, Ben, your car is cool!" Sam says. "Can I see it?" + +"OK, but be careful," Ben says. "This is not a regular car. It can go very fast and make loud noises. You need a key to open the case." + +Ben gives Sam the key. Sam opens the case and takes out the car. He turns it on and it starts to move. Sam is happy. He runs after the car. + +But the car is too fast for Sam. It goes out of the door and into the street. Sam does not see the big truck. The truck hits the car and breaks it. Sam is sad and scared. He cries. + +Ben hears the noise and runs to the door. He sees the car and the truck. He is angry and sad. He yells at Sam. + +"Sam, you are bad! You broke my car! You are not my friend anymore!" + +Sam says he is sorry, but Ben does not listen. He takes the case and the key and goes away. Sam is alone. He has no car and no friend. He cries more. The end. +Lily liked to dress up as a princess. She had a pink dress, a shiny crown and a wand. She liked to pretend that her bed was a tower and she was waiting for a prince to come and save her. + +One day, she heard a loud noise outside. She looked out of her window and saw a big dragon. The dragon was dark and scary. It had sharp teeth, long claws and fire in its mouth. It was flying around the tower and trying to break it. + +Lily was very afraid. She wanted her mom and dad to help her. She ran to the door, but it was locked. She cried and cried, but no one heard her. She felt alone and sad. + +Then, she remembered her wand. She picked it up and waved it at the dragon. She said, "Go away, dragon! You are not nice! You are not welcome here!" She hoped that her wand had magic. + +The dragon heard her voice and looked at her. It saw her wand and her crown. It thought that she was a real princess. It was afraid of princesses. They had magic and courage. It did not want to fight with her. It turned around and flew away. + +Lily was very happy. She had saved herself and her tower. She was brave and strong. She smiled and said, "I am a princess! I have magic and courage! I don't need a prince to save me!" She hugged her wand and her crown. She felt proud and happy. +One day, a cheerful frog named Lily was hopping near the pond. She liked to hop on the green grass and the brown rocks. She saw a big bird standing on one leg. It had a long neck and a sharp beak. It was a crane. + +"Hello, bird. What are you doing?" Lily asked. + +"I am looking for fish. I am hungry. Do you want to help me?" the crane said. + +"Yes, I do. How can I help you?" Lily said. + +"You can hop in the water and make some noise. Then the fish will come out and I can catch them," the crane said. + +Lily thought that sounded fun. She hopped in the water and splashed with her legs. She made some bubbles and some sounds. The fish heard the noise and came out of their hiding places. The crane saw the fish and snapped them with his beak. + +"Thank you, frog. You are a good helper. Do you want to share some fish with me?" the crane said. + +"Yes, please. I like fish. They are yummy," Lily said. + +The crane and the frog ate some fish together. They were both full and happy. They became friends and decided to play some more. They hopped and flew and had a lot of fun. They were cheerful and kind to each other. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. Sometimes they found seeds and planted them in the ground. + +One day, they saw a big green leaf sticking out of the dirt. They wondered what it was. They pulled on the leaf and out came a red and white ball. It was a radish. + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna said. "It's so big and round!" + +"Let me see!" Ben said. He took the radish from Anna and smelled it. He made a face. "Yuck, it smells bad!" + +He gave the radish back to Anna. She smelled it too. She agreed with Ben. "It does smell bad. And it looks disgusting. It has dirt and spots on it." + +They decided to throw the radish away. They looked for a trash can, but they could not find one. They saw a big dog sleeping under a tree. They had an idea. + +"Let's give the radish to the dog!" Anna said. "Maybe he will like it." + +"Good idea!" Ben said. They walked quietly to the dog and put the radish next to his nose. They hoped he would not wake up. + +But the dog did wake up. He smelled the radish and opened his eyes. He saw Anna and Ben standing next to him. He was not happy. He barked loudly and chased them away. + +Anna and Ben ran as fast as they could. They were scared and sorry. They learned a lesson. They should not give disgusting things to dogs. They should not play with radishes. They should plant them back in the ground. + + +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toys in the park. One day, they saw a big yellow plastic slide. They wanted to try it. + +"Can we go on the slide, please?" Tim asked his mom. + +"Sure, but be careful. It is very high and fast," his mom said. + +Tim and Sam ran to the slide. They took turns to go down. They had a lot of fun. + +"Look, I can go faster than you!" Sam said to Tim. + +"No, you can't. I can go faster than you!" Tim said to Sam. + +They both wanted to be the fastest. They decided to go down together. + +"Ready, set, go!" they shouted and pushed each other. + +But they pushed too hard. They lost their balance. They fell off the slide. They hit the ground. They hurt themselves. They cried. + +Their moms heard them. They ran to them. They picked them up. They hugged them. + +"What happened?" their moms asked. + +"We were trying to go faster on the slide," Tim said. + +"We pushed each other and fell off," Sam said. + +They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They said sorry. + +Their moms were not happy. They mentioned that they should not push each other. They mentioned that they should be careful. They mentioned that they should share and be nice. + +They took them to the doctor. The doctor checked them. He said they had some bruises and scratches. He gave them some bandages and medicine. He said they would be okay. + +But they could not play with their toys for a while. They could not go to the park for a while. They could not go on the slide for a while. They were sad. They learned their lesson. They wished they had not pushed each other. They wished they had played nicely. They wished they had a good ending. +Timmy likes to guess what is in the cans that his mom brings home from the shop. He looks at the pictures and the letters and tries to say what they are. Sometimes he is right and sometimes he is wrong, but he always has fun. + +One day, he sees a can with a picture of a big fish. He thinks it is a shark, because sharks are big and scary and have teeth. He says, "Mom, can we have shark for lunch?" Mom laughs and says, "No, Timmy, this is not a shark. This is tuna. Tuna is a kind of fish that is good to eat. Do you want to try some?" + +Timmy is curious and says, "Yes, please." Mom opens the can and puts some tuna on a plate. She gives Timmy a fork and says, "Be careful, it might have some bones." Timmy takes a bite and makes a face. He does not like the tuna. It is dry and salty and has a funny smell. He says, "Yuck, mom, this is not good. I don't like tuna." + +Mom says, "That's okay, Timmy, you don't have to eat it. Maybe you will like it when you are older. Tuna is a mighty fish, you know. It can swim very fast and very far in the sea. It is stronger than a shark. Some people catch tuna with big rods and nets. They are very proud when they catch a tuna, because it is hard to do." + +Timmy is surprised and says, "Really, mom? Tuna is stronger than a shark? How do you know?" Mom says, "I read it in a book, Timmy. Books have a lot of things that you can learn. Do you want to read a book with me?" Timmy says, "Yes, mom, I do. Maybe I will find a book about tuna. Then I can guess more things about it." Mom smiles and says, "That sounds like a good idea, Timmy. Let's go and find a book about tuna." They leave the plate of tuna on the table and go to the bookshelf. Timmy is happy to read a book with mom. He likes to guess and learn new things. + + +Tom and Sue are brother and sister. They like to play in the living room. There is a big armchair in the living room. It is soft and cozy. Tom and Sue like to sit on the armchair and pretend they are king and queen. + +One day, they find a fat book on the armchair. It has many pictures and words. Tom and Sue want to look at the book. But they do not know who it belongs to. They do not want to make anyone angry. + +They decide to discuss what to do. They talk in low voices. Tom says, "Maybe it is Mom's book. She likes to read." Sue says, "Maybe it is Dad's book. He likes to learn." Tom says, "Maybe it is Grandma's book. She likes to tell stories." Sue says, "Maybe it is ours. We like to play." + +They look at the book again. They see a sticker on the cover. It has their names on it. It says, "To Tom and Sue, from Grandma. Enjoy this book of fairy tales." They are very happy. They hug each other. They say, "Thank you, Grandma. We love you." They open the book and start to read. They have a lot of fun. + +Lily was going to school today. She was a little scared. She had a test. She did not like tests. They made her think hard. + +She hoped the test was easy. She hoped she knew all the answers. She hoped her teacher was nice. + +She walked to school with her mom. She saw her friend Tom. Tom was in her class. He smiled at her. + +"Hi, Lily. Are you ready for the test?" he asked. + +Lily nodded. She tried to be brave. She did not want to show Tom she was scared. + +"Yes, I am ready. I studied a lot. Did you study?" she asked. + +Tom nodded too. He looked confident. He liked tests. They made him feel smart. + +"Yes, I studied too. I think the test will be easy. We learned everything in class. Don't worry, Lily. You will do well." he said. + +Lily smiled. She felt a little better. She was glad Tom was her friend. He made her feel calm. + +They walked into the school together. They went to their classroom. They saw their teacher. She was holding some papers. They were the tests. + +"Good morning, class. Today we have a test. It is about the things we learned this week. It is not hard. It is easy. You can do it. I believe in you." she said. + +Lily listened to her teacher. She felt a little more confident. She hoped her teacher was right. She hoped the test was easy. She hoped she did well. She took a deep breath. She picked up her pencil. She looked at the test. She started to write. + +Ben and Mia like to play with their toy boat in the pond. They have a big sail made of paper that they stick on the boat. They watch the wind blow the sail and make the boat go fast. + +One day, they see a duck swimming near their boat. The duck is curious and pecks at the sail. Mia shouts, "No, duck, no! That is our sail! Go away!" + +But the duck does not listen. It pulls the sail with its beak and rips it off the boat. The sail falls into the water and spreads out like a big flower. The boat has no sail now and it stops moving. + +Ben and Mia feel sad and helpless. They cannot reach their boat or their sail. They do not know what to do. They look at the duck, who is still playing with the sail. + +The duck sees their faces and feels sorry. It quacks, "I am sorry, children. I did not mean to ruin your sail. I just wanted to see what it was. Here, I will help you." + +The duck swims to the boat and pushes it with its nose. It brings the boat back to the edge of the pond, where Ben and Mia can get it. Then it swims to the sail and picks it up with its beak. It brings the sail back to the children, too. + +Ben and Mia smile and thank the duck. They say, "Thank you, duck. You are very kind. We forgive you. Do you want to play with us?" + +The duck nods and quacks, "Yes, please. I would like to play with you. Can I be your friend?" + +Ben and Mia nod and say, "Yes, you can be our friend. You can help us make a new sail for our boat. We can share our toys with you." + +The duck, Ben and Mia become friends and have fun together in the pond. They learn to be careful with each other's things and to say sorry when they make a mistake. They enjoy the wind, the water and the sail. +Tommy and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a blue squirrel on a tree. They wanted to touch it. + +"Mom, can we go to the squirrel?" Tommy asked. + +"Only if you behave and don't scare it," Mom said. + +Tommy and Lily nodded and ran to the tree. The blue squirrel looked at them with big eyes. It was holding a nut in its mouth. + +"Hello, squirrel," Lily said softly. "You are so pretty. Can we be your friends?" + +The blue squirrel twitched its tail and made a noise. It seemed to like Lily. Tommy was jealous. He wanted the squirrel to like him too. + +He reached out his hand and tried to grab the squirrel's nut. The squirrel did not like that. It bit Tommy's finger hard. Tommy screamed and let go of the nut. The squirrel ran away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tommy cried. "Mom, the squirrel bit me!" + +Mom came running and saw Tommy's finger bleeding. She was angry and worried. + +"Tommy, why did you do that? I told you to behave and not scare the squirrel. Now you need to go to the doctor and get a shot. You are in big trouble, mister." + +Tommy felt sorry and scared. He wished he had listened to Mom and been nice to the squirrel. He learned his lesson the hard way. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars on the grass. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. Lily had a red car and Tom had a blue car. + +"Look, my car is faster than yours!" Lily said, zooming her car ahead of Tom's. + +"No, mine is faster!" Tom said, trying to catch up with Lily's car. + +They ran after their cars until they reached the edge of the grass. There was a big drop and a lot of rocks. That was the cliff. Their mom had told them not to go near the cliff. It was dangerous. + +"Stop, Lily, stop!" Tom shouted. "The cliff is there!" + +But Lily did not hear him. She was too busy watching her car. Her car went over the edge of the grass and disappeared. Lily gasped and ran to the edge. She looked down and saw her car smashed on the rocks. + +"Oh no, my car!" Lily cried. "It's gone!" + +Tom ran to Lily and hugged her. He felt sorry for her. He knew how much she loved her car. + +"It's okay, Lily," Tom said. "It was just a small car. You can have mine. I don't mind." + +Lily looked at Tom and smiled. She wiped her tears and took his car. She gave him a kiss on the cheek. + +"Thank you, Tom," Lily said. "You are a good brother." + +They walked back to the grass and played with the blue car. They decided to stay away from the cliff. It was too scary. They were happy with their one car. They shared it and had fun. +Lily and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they like to pretend they are animals. Lily is a cat and Ben is a dog. They run and jump and make noises. + +"Meow, meow, I am a cat. I can climb on the bed and scratch the pillow," Lily says. + +"Woof, woof, I am a dog. I can chase you and bite your tail," Ben says. + +They have fun, but they also make a mess. The bed is messy, the pillow is torn, and the toys are everywhere. + +Mom comes to the room. She is tall and she looks angry. She sees the mess and she says, "Lily and Ben, what have you done? This room is a disaster. You have to clean it up right now." + +Lily and Ben stop playing. They feel sorry. They kneel on the floor and say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing animals. We did not mean to make a mess." + +Mom sighs. She says, "I know you like to play, but you have to be careful with your things. And you have to tidy up after you play. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We will clean the room. We will be good." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. I love you. Now, let's clean the room together." + +Lily and Ben hug Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom. Thank you for helping us." + +They start to clean the room. They put the toys in the box, they fix the bed, and they throw away the pillow. They work hard and they make the room nice again. + +Mom is happy. She says, "Well done, Lily and Ben. You did a great job. Now, you can play again, but remember to be careful and tidy." + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, Mom. We will. Thank you, Mom." + +They kiss Mom and they go back to playing. But this time, they are not animals. They are superheroes. They save the world and they have fun. And they do not make a mess. +Ben and Lily were youth. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they found a big puddle of water. They jumped in and splashed each other. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, the sky became dark. Big drops of rain started to fall. Ben and Lily ran to the porch. They were wet and cold. + +"Let's go inside and dry," Ben said. + +"No, I want to stay and play," Lily said. + +"But it's dark and wet. You will get sick," Ben said. + +Lily did not listen. She ran back to the puddle. She jumped and splashed. She did not see the flash of light. + +BOOM! A loud noise made Lily scream. She saw a bright line in the sky. She was scared. + +"Ben, help!" Lily cried. + +Ben ran to Lily. He hugged her and took her to the porch. He wrapped her in a towel. + +"It's okay, Lily. It's just thunder and lightning. They can't hurt you," Ben said. + +Lily stopped crying. She snuggled with Ben. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother," Lily said. + +Ben smiled. He was happy to help Lily. + +They sat on the porch and watched the rain. They waited for the sun to come back. They were dry and warm. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Lily saw a big black beetle on a leaf. She wanted to catch it and show Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a beetle!" she said, pointing to the leaf. + +Ben ran over and saw the beetle too. He thought it was cool and shiny. He reached out his hand to touch it. + +"No, Ben, it's mine!" Lily said. She grabbed the leaf and pulled it away from Ben. "I saw it first!" + +Ben was sad and angry. He wanted to see the beetle too. He did not like it when Lily was mean to him. + +"Give it back, Lily!" he said. He tried to take the leaf from Lily. + +"No, go away!" Lily said. She held the leaf tight and ran away from Ben. + +Ben chased after Lily. They ran around the garden, shouting and fighting. They did not see that the beetle was scared and cold. It did not like to be on the leaf. It wanted to go back to its home under the ground. + +The beetle saw a hole in the dirt. It crawled off the leaf and into the hole. It was happy and warm there. + +Lily and Ben stopped running. They looked at the leaf. They saw that the beetle was gone. + +"Where is the beetle?" Lily said. + +"I don't know," Ben said. + +They felt sorry and silly. They had been mean to each other and to the beetle. They had lost their fun. + +"Sorry, Lily," Ben said. + +"Sorry, Ben," Lily said. + +They hugged and made up. They decided to play nicely and look for more bugs and flowers. They hoped to see the beetle again. They would be gentle and kind to it. +Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green plant with many sharp points. It was a cactus. + +"Look, Mia, a cactus!" Ben said. "It is so cool. I want to touch it." + +"No, Ben, don't touch it!" Mia said. "It will hurt you. The points are very sharp. They can make you bleed." + +"But I want to see how it feels," Ben said. He was not fearful. He was curious. + +Mia was fearful. She did not want Ben to get hurt. She tried to stop him. "Ben, please, listen to me. I recommend you to stay away from the cactus. It is not a good plant to play with. Let's go and find something else." + +Ben did not listen to Mia. He reached out his hand to touch the cactus. He felt a sharp pain. He pulled back his hand. He saw blood on his finger. He started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" Ben cried. + +Mia ran to him. She hugged him. She felt sorry for him. She said, "I told you, Ben, the cactus is bad. You should have listened to me. I am your sister. I know what is good for you." + +She took him to their mom. Their mom cleaned his wound and put a band-aid on it. She said, "Ben, you have to be careful with the cactus. It is not a toy. It can hurt you. Next time, you should listen to Mia. She is your sister. She loves you and wants to protect you." + +Ben nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry, mom. I learned my lesson. I will not touch the cactus again. I will listen to you. You are my family. You are the best." +Lily loved her bicycle. It was red and shiny and had a bell. She liked to ride it in the park with her dad. One day, she saw a big dog in the park. The dog was barking and running after a small cat. The cat was scared and climbed up a tree. + +Lily wanted to help the cat. She rode her bicycle to the tree and rang her bell. The dog heard the bell and looked at Lily. Lily said, "Go away, dog! Leave the cat alone!" The dog did not listen. It growled and jumped at Lily. + +Lily was afraid. She tried to pedal away, but the dog was faster. It bit her bicycle tire and made a hole. Lily's bicycle stopped and fell over. Lily cried and shouted, "Help, help!" + +Her dad heard her and ran to her. He picked up a stick and waved it at the dog. The dog was scared and ran away. Lily's dad hugged her and said, "Are you okay, Lily? You are very brave, but you should not go near a big dog. It can hurt you and your bicycle." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to rescue the cat. Is the cat okay?" Lily's dad looked at the tree and saw the cat. The cat was still in the tree, but it was not scared anymore. It meowed and jumped down. It ran to Lily and rubbed against her leg. Lily smiled and said, "Hello, cat. I'm glad you are safe." + +Lily's dad said, "You are very kind, Lily. But next time, you should tell me if you see a big dog or a cat in trouble. I can help you rescue them. Now, let's go home and fix your bicycle. We can also give the cat some milk and a name. How about Fluffy?" + +Lily liked that name. She said, "Yes, dad. Let's go home. Fluffy can be my new friend. Thank you for rescuing me and my bicycle. You are very organized and strong." Lily's dad laughed and said, "You are welcome, Lily. I love you and your bicycle. And Fluffy, too." They walked home together, holding hands and the bicycle. Fluffy followed them, purring and happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They live on a farm with many animals. They like to play with the animals and help their parents. + +One day, Tom and Lily see a big truck on the road. The truck has a cage with a lion inside. The lion looks sad and angry.

He can hurt us and the animals. We should stay away from him." Lily says. + +But Tom is curious. He wants to see the lion closer. He runs to the truck and climbs on it. He tries to open the cage. + +"Tom, no! Come back!" Lily shouts. "The lion is dangerous. He can bite you. You are silly." + +Tom does not listen. He struggles with the lock. He does not see the driver coming back. The driver sees Tom and gets angry. He grabs Tom and pulls him down. + +"Hey, kid, what are you doing? Get off my truck. This is my lion. I caught him in the jungle. I will sell him to the zoo. He is worth a lot of money." The driver says. + +Tom is scared. He cries and calls for Lily. Lily runs to him and hugs him. She is glad he is safe. + +"Tom, you are naughty. You should not touch the lion. He is not a toy. He is a wild animal. He belongs to the jungle, not to the cage. The driver is mean. He should not take the lion away from his home." Lily says. + +Tom is sorry. He knows he made a mistake. He says sorry to Lily and to the driver. He says sorry to the lion too. He wishes the lion could be free and happy. + +The driver puts the lion back in the cage and drives away. Tom and Lily go back to the farm. They tell their parents what happened.

Tom and Anna say. They look at the mess. + +They hear their mom coming. She is angry. She sees the broken bottle and the water. + +"What did you do?" she asks. She is very mad. + +Tom and Anna are scared. They do not want to get in trouble. They point at each other. + +"He did it!" Anna says. + +"She did it!" Tom says. + +They ignore each other. They do not say sorry. + +Their mom is sad. She shakes her head. She picks up the pieces of the bottle. She cleans the water. + +She sends Tom and Anna to their room. They have to stay there until dinner. They do not get to play or read. + +They are bored and lonely. They are sleepy. But they do not want to sleep. They are still mad. + +They do not talk to each other. They do not hug or kiss. They do not say good night. + +They cry in their beds. They wish they had the bottle. They wish they had not fought. They wish they had not ignored each other. They wish they had a good ending. +Once upon a time, there lived a friendly bear named Eddie. Eddie loved exploring the great outdoors.

Maisy was sad but she understood. + +The two then slowly walked away, looking at the purple statue in the park. +John was walking down the street when he found a dirty door. He had never seen a door so dirty before. He wanted to solve it. He tried to push it open but it wouldn't budge. He tried to pull it open, but still it wouldn't open.

He asked him why he was crying. Jack told him what had happened and felt very sorry. + +Sam said, "See Jack, this is why it is wrong to take other people's clothes.

The little girl was so sad that she just stayed in her room and didn't want to play anymore. + +Her mom knew what to do.

I'll give you a bite, but you have to give me a bite too. That way, we can both enjoy it." + +Jack thought about it for a moment and then agreed. Annie gave him a bite of the cookie and then shared some of it with him. They had a great time sharing the cookie in her bedroom. +There was a dog called Spot.
