I am the fastest!†+ +John thought it was a crazy idea, but wanted to see who would win. They started running and John was winning. + +John was almost at the finish line when Mary tripped and fell. Mary started to cry because she was so scared. + +John knew he would win, so he kept going. But, when he reached the finish line he felt a crazy amount of guilt for leaving his friend behind. Then, he knew he had made a bad decision. + +John quickly went back to check on Mary. She was bleeding from her leg and had broken her arm. She was in a lot of pain. + +John had chosen to finish the race, but at what cost? He had not only lost a friend but he had put her in a lot of pain. From that day, John learned a valuable lesson that some races are not worth winning. +Once upon a time, there was a black crocodile. He lived in a clear blue pond, with lots of fishes to eat. One day, he was feeling very energetic and decided to take a stroll around the pond. Suddenly, he came across a funny looking rock. He felt like something special was beneath it.

When she returned home with the toy, she noticed that each of her sons had drawn a picture for her. She was so proud of them and thanked them for their original artwork. + +The moral of the story is that it is not about how much money you can spend for something, but about love and appreciation.

As it flew along, it kept learning new words, as if it had become a dictionary itself. + +One day it was so full of words that it lost its power to fly, so it landed on a tree. From that day on, it became the tree's friend and would chirp the new words it had learned. It would chirp green, fly, dictionary and lots more. Little children would come and listen to the bird teach them new words, and they were all happy to learn the bird's new language. +Once upon a time there was a yellow puppy.

He did not want Mary to join him and refused to share any of his toys. He said to Mary, "Go away! I don't want to share my toys". + +Mary was very sad, so she did not want to stay.

"Why are you crying? Why are you running?" + +Lily and Tom tell Mom what they did. Mom is very sad. She is very sorry. + +"You should not play with things that are not yours," Mom says. "You should not kick each other. You should say sorry to the man. You did a bad thing." + +Lily and Tom feel bad. They wish they did not play with the phone. They wish they did not kick each other. They wish they did not break the phone. + +They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They hope the man will forgive them. They hope they can find a new phone for him.

You have to take your bone out of the pot and put it on the floor. Then you have to say sorry and help me clean up." + +Tom does not want to listen. He wants to keep his bone and his soup. He barks and stirs the soup harder. He thinks his mom will give up and let him have his bone and his soup. He is wrong. His mom is very angry. She grabs his bone and pulls it out of the pot. She says, "Tom, you are a bad dog. You are not amazing, you are naughty. You have to go to your room and think about what you did. You cannot have your bone or your soup.

It might bite us!" Ben said. + +They ran towards the goose, making loud noises. The goose looked at them and opened its beak. It did not like the children bothering it. It got up and flapped its wings. + +"Uh-oh, it's angry!" Ben said. + +"Run away, run away!" Lily said. + +They turned around and ran back to the path. But the goose was faster and followed them. It caught up with Lily and bit her leg. Lily screamed and fell down. Ben tried to help her, but the goose bit him too. They both cried and called for help. + +A man who was walking his dog heard them and came to see what was wrong. He saw the goose attacking the children and shooed it away. He picked up Lily and Ben and took them to a bench. He checked their wounds and called their parents. + +The parents came and thanked the man. They scolded Lily and Ben for testing the goose and not being careful. They took them to the doctor to get their bites treated. Lily and Ben learned their lesson and never tested a goose again. They were sorry and sad. The end. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to bake with their mom. One day, they wanted to make some lovely cookies for their dad, who was coming home from work. They helped mom to mix the flour, butter, eggs and sugar in a big bowl. + +"Can I put some more sugar, mom?" asked Lily. She loved sweet things. + +"No, Lily, that's enough sugar," said mom. "Too much sugar is not good for you. You should value your teeth and your health." + +"But sugar makes everything yummy," said Lily, pouting. + +Ben nodded. He agreed with Lily. He also wanted more sugar. He saw a jar of sugar on the counter. He reached for it when mom was not looking. He poured some more sugar into the bowl. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" asked mom, turning around. She saw the jar of sugar in his hand and the extra sugar in the bowl. She was not happy. + +"Sorry, mom," said Ben, looking down. "I just wanted to make the cookies more lovely for dad." + +Mom sighed. She understood that Ben and Lily wanted to please their dad, but they also had to learn to follow the rules. She took the jar of sugar from Ben and put it away. + +"Listen, Ben and Lily," she said. "I know you love your dad and you want to make him happy. But you also have to love yourselves and take care of your bodies. Sugar is nice, but only in small amounts. Too much sugar can make you sick and hurt your teeth. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They felt sorry for being naughty. They hugged mom and said they were sorry. + +"It's okay, my loves," said mom, hugging them back. "I forgive you. Now, let's finish the cookies and put them in the oven. I'm sure dad will appreciate them anyway. He values your effort and your kindness more than anything." + +Ben and Lily smiled. They were glad that mom was not angry anymore. They helped mom to shape the cookies and put them on a tray. They put the tray in the oven and waited for the cookies to bake. They hoped that dad would like their lovely cookies.

He cries out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim says. He looks at his hand. There is blood and a big cut. Sue runs to Tim and hugs him. + +"I'm sorry, Tim," Sue says. "Are you okay?" + +Tim shakes his head. He is not okay. He is hurt and scared. Sue sees a lady coming to them. The lady has a leash in her hand. She is the dog's owner. + +"I'm so sorry," the lady says. "My dog is not friendly. He does not like strangers. He got away from me. Let me see your hand." + +The lady looks at Tim's hand. She frowns. She says Tim needs a stitch. A stitch is a small thread that a doctor puts in a cut to make it heal. The lady says Tim's cut is serious. Serious means very bad. + +"Come with me," the lady says. "I will take you to the doctor. He will give you a stitch and make you feel better." + +Tim and Sue go with the lady. They get in her car. The dog stays in the back. He does not bark anymore. Tim holds Sue's hand. He is still crying. Sue tries to make him smile. + +"Don't worry, Tim," Sue says. "The doctor will fix your hand. You will be fine. I love you, Tim." + +"I love you, Sue," Tim says. He is glad Sue is with him. He hopes the stitch will not hurt too much. He hopes the dog will not bite anyone else. He learns a lesson. He will not pet a dog he does not know. +Sam and Max were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Sam had a lot of blocks, but Max had only a few.

You have your own blocks. Go away!" Sam said. + +Max felt sad and angry. He did not think Sam was a good friend. He had an opinion. He thought Sam was mean and selfish. He wanted to make Sam sorry. + +He saw Sam's dad sitting on the couch. Sam's dad was bald. He had no hair on his head. Max had an idea. He took a marker from the table and sneaked behind Sam's dad. He drew a funny face on Sam's dad's head. He drew a big nose, a smile, and two eyes. He thought it was funny. + +Sam's dad did not feel anything. He was reading a book. He did not know what Max did. Max ran back to his tower and giggled. + +Soon, Sam's mom came home. She saw Sam's dad on the couch. She saw the funny face on his head. She gasped. + +"Oh, no!

They like to play in their house. Sometimes they play hide and seek. Tom is good at hiding. Lily is good at finding. + +One day, they play hide and seek again. Tom says, "I will hide first. You count to ten and then find me." Lily says, "OK. One, two, three..." Tom runs to find a good hiding place. He sees the stairs. He thinks, "Maybe I can hide under the stairs. Lily will not look there." + +He goes under the stairs. He sees a big box. He thinks, "This box can provide me a good hiding place. I can go inside and close the lid." He opens the box and goes inside. He closes the lid. He is very quiet. He waits for Lily to find him. + +Lily counts to ten. She says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks for Tom in the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom, but she cannot find him. She thinks, "Where is Tom? He is very good at hiding. Maybe he is outside." She goes to the door. She sees the stairs. She thinks, "Maybe Tom is hiding on the stairs. I will check." + +She goes to the stairs. She sees the box under the stairs. She thinks, "What is this box? Maybe Tom is inside." She goes to the box. She opens the lid. She sees Tom. She says, "I found you! You are in the box!" Tom says, "You are very good at finding. You are reliable. You did not give up." Lily says, "You are very good at hiding. You are clever. You found a good hiding place." Tom says, "Thank you. You are welcome. Do you want to hide next?" Lily says, "Yes, I do. You count to ten and then find me." Tom says, "OK. One, two, three..." They play hide and seek again. They have fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But their favorite thing was the tunnel. The tunnel was big and dark and fun. They liked to crawl inside and pretend they were in a cave. + +One day, they found a lemon in the tunnel. It was yellow and round and smelled nice. Lily picked it up and said, "Look, Tom, a ball!" + +Tom said, "No, Lily, that's not a ball. That's a lemon. It's a fruit. You can eat it." + +Lily was curious. She wanted to try the lemon. She bit into it and made a face. It was sour! It made her tongue hurt and her eyes water. She spit it out and said, "Yuck, Tom, this is not good. This is bad. Why did you say I can eat it?" + +Tom laughed and said, "I didn't say you would like it. I said you can eat it. But lemons are sour, not sweet. You have to squeeze them and mix them with water and sugar to make lemonade. Then they are good." + +Lily was not happy. She was mad at Tom for tricking her. She threw the lemon at him and said, "You are mean, Tom. I don't want to play with you anymore. Go away!" + +Tom dodged the lemon and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just joking. Don't be mad. Come on, let's play something else. How about we seat on the bench and have a snack?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She was still angry, but she was also hungry. She liked snacks. She said, "OK, Tom, but only if you share your cookies with me. And no more lemons!" + +Tom agreed and said, "OK, Lily, I'll share my cookies with you. And no more lemons. Promise!" + +They walked out of the tunnel and seat on the bench. They ate their cookies and drank their juice. They were friends again. They smiled and hugged and said, "We like the tunnel. But we like each other more." +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a ball and a soldier. The soldier was her favorite toy.

Lily said, "Look, soldier, there are many ants. They are the bad guys. We have to stop them." She took her soldier and ran to the ant hill. She put him on the ground and said, "Soldier, you kneel here and shoot the ants. I will help you." + +Lily and her soldier started to shoot the ants with their fingers. They made loud noises like "bang, bang, bang". The ants did not like that. They came out of the ant hill and crawled towards Lily and her soldier. Lily was not afraid. She said, "Soldier, don't be scared. We can beat them. They are small and we are big." + +But the soldier was scared. He saw the ants coming closer and closer. He said, "Lily, I don't want to play anymore. The ants are too many. They will bite us. Let's go away." He dropped his gun and ran to Lily. He hugged her leg and said, "Please, Lily, take me with you. I don't want to be a hero. I want to be your toy." + +Lily felt sorry for her soldier. She picked him up and said, "OK, soldier, we can go. You don't have to be a hero. You are my toy and I love you." She kissed him on the cheek and said, "But you are still brave.

They took a big sack and filled it with soft balls. They said the balls were rocks. They wanted to sack the castle, like in the stories they heard.

He took his sword and shield and went inside the castle. He closed the doors and windows. He said, "You will never sack my castle, bad knight. It is too strong and too pink." + +Anna laughed. She said, "We will see about that, good king. I have many rocks in my sack, and I will throw them hard." She lifted the sack and swung it over her head. She aimed at the castle and let go. + +But she did not see that the sack had a hole. As she swung it, the balls fell out of the sack and rolled on the floor. When she let go, the sack was empty. It flew in the air and landed on her head. She fell down and said, "Ouch!" + +Ben heard the noise and opened the door. He saw Anna on the floor with the sack on her head. He said, "Are you okay, bad knight? You did not sack my castle, you sacked yourself." + +Anna took off the sack and rubbed her head. She said, "I'm okay, good king. You are right, I sacked myself. That was a silly game. Can we play something else?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, let's play something else. How about we play tea party with our dolls and animals? We can use the castle as our house." + +Anna smiled. She said, "That sounds like fun. I like tea party. And I like our pink castle. It is the best toy ever."

She likes to see the green leaves and the colorful flowers that come out of the ground. + +One day, she finds a new seed in her garden. It is big and round and smooth.

It saw Lily and Tom and started to run towards them. It wanted to chase them away. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not want to play with the dog. They wanted to go back to the park. They grabbed each other's hands and ran down the hill. The dog followed them and barked louder. They ran faster and faster. + +They reached the park and saw their mom. She was waiting for them with a smile. She did not see the dog or the mud. She was happy to see them. She hugged them and said, "Did you have fun?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, we did. But we also saw a big old house and a big bad dog. Can we go home now?" + +Mom said, "Of course, we can. Let's go home and get clean. And maybe we can read a story about a big old house and a big bad dog. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Tom said, "That sounds good. We like stories. But we also like mud. Can we play with mud again tomorrow?" + +Mom said, "Maybe. But only if you promise to be careful and stay away from big old houses and big bad dogs. OK?" + +Lily and Tom said, "OK. We promise. We love you, mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily and Tom. You are my brave and silly kids." +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, animals and more with their blocks. + +One day, they see a big box of new blocks in the store. The box has a picture of a castle. The castle has towers, walls, doors and flags. Tom and Jen want to buy the box and make the castle. But the box is not cheap. It is very expensive. They do not have enough money. + +They ask their moms and dads for money. But their moms and dads say no. They say the box is too expensive and they have enough blocks at home. Tom and Jen are sad. They really want the castle. + +They have an idea. They go to their other friends who have blocks. They ask them if they want to make the castle with them. They say they will share the blocks and the castle. Their friends say yes. They are happy. They all bring their blocks to Tom's house. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +They open the box and look at the picture. They start to make the castle. They work together. They unite their blocks. They help each other.

They pretend to be kings, queens, knights and dragons. They have more fun. They are happy. They are friends. They share the blocks and the castle. They do not need to buy the expensive box.

It was a motorcycle. It was red and shiny. It made loud noises. Sam wanted to play with it too. + +"Can I play with your motorcycle?" Sam asked Tim. + +"No, it is mine!" Tim said. He was selfish. He did not like to share. He pushed Sam away. + +Sam was sad. He cried. He ran to Mom. Mom was angry. She scolded Tim. + +"You have to share your toys with your brother. He is smaller than you. You are not nice. Go to your room!" Mom said. + +Tim did not listen. He was stubborn. He rode his motorcycle around the house. He did not care about Sam or Mom. He only cared about his toy. + +He went to the kitchen. He saw a knife. It was sharp. He wanted to cut something. He saw a cake. It was for Dad's birthday. He cut a big piece. He ate it. He made a mess. + +Mom saw what he did. She was very angry. She yelled at Tim. + +"You are a bad boy! You ruined Dad's cake! You are not getting any cake or presents! You are grounded!" Mom said. + +Tim was scared. He dropped the knife. He cut his hand. It hurt. He bled. He cried. He was sorry. But it was too late. He had to go to his room. He had no motorcycle, no cake, no presents, and no friends. He was alone. He was unhappy. He learned a hard lesson. +Lila and Ben like to play with dolls. They have many dolls with different clothes and hair. One day, Lila finds a doll with a hole in her dress. She is sad and shows Ben. + +"Look, Ben, my doll has a hole. She needs a new dress," Lila says. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He remembers that his mom has a box with needles and threads. He says, "I have an idea, Lila. We can fix your doll's dress. We can use a needle and a thread to make a stitch. A stitch is when you put the thread through the hole and back again. It makes the hole smaller and stronger." + +Lila smiles and says, "That sounds good, Ben. Can you show me how to do it?" + +Ben nods and runs to get the box. He comes back with a needle and a thread. He picks a light blue thread that matches the doll's dress. He says, "First, we need to supply the needle with the thread. That means we put the end of the thread through the hole in the needle. Like this." He shows Lila how to do it. Then he says, "Now, we need to make a knot at the other end of the thread. That means we make a loop and pull the thread through it. Like this." He shows Lila how to do it. Then he says, "Now, we are ready to make a stitch. We put the needle through the hole in the dress and pull the thread. Then we put the needle back through the dress and pull the thread again. We do this until the hole is closed. Like this." He shows Lila how to do it. + +Lila watches and tries to do the same. She says, "This is fun, Ben. I like making stitches. Thank you for helping me fix my doll's dress." + +Ben smiles and says, "You're welcome, Lila. You are doing great. Your doll will look beautiful again." +Sara and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. Sara had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were racing each other. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm faster than you!" Sara said. + +"No, you're not, I'm faster than you!" Ben said. + +They zoomed their cars around the grass and the flowers. They had fun, but they did not see the big dog that was watching them from the fence. The dog was hungry and angry. It wanted to play with the toy cars too. + +The dog jumped over the fence and ran towards Sara and Ben. It barked and growled. Sara and Ben were scared. They dropped their cars and ran away. The dog picked up the red car in its mouth and shook it. It broke the car and spit it out. Then it saw the blue car and chased it. + +"Help, help, the dog has my car!" Ben cried. + +Sara ran to the house and knocked on the door. She hoped her mom or dad would hear her and come out. But they did not. They were busy inside. Sara did not know what to do. She wanted to help Ben, but she was afraid of the dog. + +She saw a stick on the ground. She thought maybe she could use it to make the dog go away. She was brave and wise. She picked up the stick and ran back to the garden. She saw the dog biting the blue car and Ben lying on the ground. He was hurt. The dog had bitten his leg. + +"Go away, bad dog, go away!" Sara shouted. She waved the stick at the dog. The dog saw her and dropped the blue car. It growled and ran towards her. It was bigger and stronger than her. It knocked her down and bit her arm. + +Sara screamed and dropped the stick. She felt pain and fear. She wished her mom or dad would come and save her. But they did not. They did not hear her. They did not know what was happening. The dog kept biting her and Ben. They cried and cried. No one came to help them. The dog did not stop. The end. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a hose and a bucket. They fill the bucket with water and splash each other. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, Anna sees a big spider on the hose. She is scared of spiders. She screams and drops the hose. The water sprays everywhere. It sprays on Ben's face and clothes. It sprays on the flowers and the grass. It sprays on the cat and the dog. + +Ben is angry. He does not like to be wet. He does not like the water on his face and clothes. He does not like the water on the flowers and the grass. He does not like the water on the cat and the dog. He shouts at Anna. + +"Anna, you are bad! You made me wet! You made a mess! You scared the cat and the dog! I don't want to play with you!" + +Anna is sad. She did not mean to make Ben wet. She did not mean to make a mess. She did not mean to scare the cat and the dog. She wants to play with Ben. She says sorry to Ben. + +"Ben, I am sorry. I was scared of the spider. I did not see the hose. I did not want to make you wet. I did not want to make a mess. I did not want to scare the cat and the dog. Can we still play?" + +Ben looks at Anna. He sees her sad face. He sees the spider on the hose. He is not scared of spiders. He picks up the hose and shakes the spider off. He sees the water on the flowers and the grass. He sees the water on the cat and the dog. He thinks the water is fun. He smiles at Anna. + +"Anna, it's okay. I am not angry. I was just surprised. The spider is gone. The water is fun. The cat and the dog are fine. We can still play." + +He gives Anna the hose. He takes the bucket. He fills the bucket with water and splashes Anna. Anna splashes Ben with the hose. They laugh and have fun. They hug each other. They are friends. +Jill loved her big, soft teddy bear. She named him Rubby, because she liked to rub his fur when she felt sad or scared. Rubby was her best friend. He always listened to her stories and kept her warm at night. He was very heavy, but Jill did not mind. She liked his weight on her chest. It made her feel safe and comfortable. + +One day, Jill and her mom went to the park. Jill brought Rubby with her. She wanted to show him the swings and the slide and the sandbox. She put him on a bench while she played. She told him to wait for her and not to go anywhere. Rubby nodded and smiled. + +But while Jill was having fun, a big boy saw Rubby on the bench. He liked his fur and his size. He thought he would make a good pillow. He grabbed Rubby and ran away. Jill did not see him. She was busy making a sandcastle. + +When Jill came back to the bench, she saw that Rubby was gone. She felt a big hole in her heart. She looked around and cried. She asked her mom where Rubby was. Her mom did not know. She hugged Jill and said they would look for him. + +They searched the park, but they could not find Rubby. Jill was very sad. She missed her best friend. She wondered if he was scared or lonely. She wished she could rub his fur and tell him she loved him. + +Then, she saw something on the ground. It was a piece of fur. It looked like Rubby's fur. Jill picked it up and followed the trail. She hoped it would lead her to Rubby. + +She walked and walked until she reached a big tree. Under the tree, she saw the big boy. He was lying on the grass, using Rubby as a pillow. He was snoring loudly. + +Jill felt angry and brave. She ran to the boy and grabbed Rubby. She pulled him away from the boy's head. The boy woke up and yelled. He tried to take Rubby back. He said Rubby was his now. + +But Jill did not let go. She held Rubby tight. She said Rubby was hers. She said he was her best friend. She said he did not like the boy. She said the boy was mean and rude. + +The boy and Jill fought over Rubby. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They made a lot of noise. They attracted the attention of other people. Some of them came to see what was going on. + +They saw the boy and Jill and Rubby. They asked what was the problem. Jill and the boy told their stories. They both said Rubby was theirs. They both wanted him. + +The people looked at Rubby. They saw his fur was torn and dirty. They saw his eyes were sad and scared. They saw his smile was gone. They felt sorry for him. + +They decided to help Jill and the boy. They said they would find a way to make them both happy. They said they would find another teddy bear for the boy. They said they would fix Rubby's fur and make him smile again. They said they would give Rubby back to Jill. They said they would teach the boy to be nice and share. + +The boy and Jill agreed. They stopped fighting. They thanked the people. They waited for them to come back. + +Soon, the people returned. They brought a new teddy bear for the boy. It was big and soft and brown. It had a bow on its neck and a tag on its ear. It said its name was Buddy. The boy liked Buddy. He hugged him and said he was sorry for taking Rubby. + +They also brought Rubby for Jill. They had cleaned his fur and sewed his tears. They had put a band-aid on his nose and a sticker on his paw. They had made him smile again. Jill loved Rubby. She kissed him and said she was happy to see him. + +The people gave Rubby to Jill. They told her to take good care of him. They told her to be careful with him. They told her to love him always.

They went to the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They had fun. + +Jill and the boy became friends. Rubby and +Ben and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and blocks. One day, they found a big board in the yard. It was black and shiny. Ben said, "Let's draw on the board with chalk. It will be fun." Sam said, "OK, but we have to be careful. The board belongs to Dad. He said we can't touch it. He will be mad if we make it dirty." + +Ben and Sam took some chalk and started to draw on the board. They drew cars and houses and stars. They had fun. But then, they heard Dad coming. He was walking to the yard. Ben and Sam got scared. They tried to wipe off the chalk, but it did not work. The board was still black and shiny, but now it had white marks on it. + +Dad saw the board and got very mad. He said, "Who did this? Who drew on my board?" Ben and Sam looked at each other. They did not want to get in trouble. Ben said, "It was not me. It was Sam. He did it. He made me do it too." Sam said, "No, it was not me. It was Ben. He did it. He lied to me. He said it was OK." + +Dad did not believe them. He said, "You both did it. You both lied to me. You both broke your promise. You can't play with the board. You can't play with anything. You have to go to your rooms. Now." Ben and Sam cried. They were sad and sorry. They lost their friend. They lost their fun. They learned a hard lesson. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big cliff near the forest. They wanted to go closer and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Sara. It will be fun," Tom said. + +"I don't know, Tom. It looks high and scary. What if we fall?" Sara said. + +Tom shrugged. He did not care. He was gifted at climbing and jumping. He thought he could do anything. He ran to the cliff and started to climb. + +"Wait for me, Tom. I'm coming," Sara said. She did not want to be left behind. She followed Tom, but she was not as good at climbing. She was scared and shaky. + +They reached the top of the cliff and looked around. They saw trees and flowers and birds. They also saw a big river that flowed far away. + +"Wow, this is beautiful, Tom. Look at the river. It sparkles like the sun," Sara said. + +"Yes, it is beautiful, Sara. But do you know what is more fun? Jumping into the river. Come on, let's do it," Tom said. + +He ran to the edge of the cliff and jumped. He did not think of the danger. He only thought of the thrill. + +"Tom, no! Don't do it! It's too high and too fast. You could get hurt," Sara shouted. + +But it was too late. Tom jumped and fell into the river. He splashed and screamed. The water was cold and strong. It pulled him away from the cliff. He could not swim. He was in trouble. + +Sara was scared and sad. She did not know what to do. She wished she had not followed Tom. She wished they had stayed away from the cliff. She wished Tom had listened to her. + +She ran to find help. She hoped Tom would be okay. She learned a lesson. She learned that being gifted does not mean being wise. She learned that being brave does not mean being foolish. She learned that being a friend does not mean doing everything together. She learned that sometimes it is better to say no and stay safe. +Ben liked to play with his guitar. He made loud noises with it and sang funny songs. He felt happy when he played with his guitar. + +One day, Ben's sister Lily wanted to play with his guitar too. She asked Ben, "Can I have a turn with your guitar, please?"

They ride their scooters in the park. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a dull scooter. It is gray and old. It has no stickers or bell. The boy looks sad. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Lila asks the boy. + +"My name is Sam," the boy says. + +"Do you want to play with us?" Ben asks. + +Sam nods. He likes Lila and Ben. They are nice. + +"Your scooter is dull," Lila says.

We will clean later." + +Mom says, "No, you have to clean now. I will check your room in five minutes." + +Sara and Tom try to clean, but they are very slow. They stop to play with their toys. They make more mess. + +Mom comes back in five minutes. She sees the messy room. She says, "Sara and Tom, you did not clean. You made more mess. You cannot go to the store.

Please, let us go." + +Mom says, "You have to learn to clean. It is not fair to leave your room messy. You have to be responsible.

We will try to keep our room clean." + +Mom says, "You are welcome, Sara and Tom. I love you. Let's go to the store and have some fun." +Tom was a boy who liked to help his dad. His dad was a man who drove a big truck and delivered boxes to different places. Sometimes, Tom went with his dad and helped him carry the boxes. + +One day, they had to deliver a box to a woman who lived in a big house. The woman was very mean and did not like children. She said that Tom was noisy and dirty and that he should not touch anything in her house. She said that the box was very special and unique and that only she could open it. + +Tom was curious and wanted to see what was in the box. He waited until his dad and the woman were not looking and sneaked into the room where the box was. He opened the box and saw a shiny thing inside. It looked like a necklace with a big stone. Tom thought it was pretty and wanted to try it on. + +But when he put the necklace around his neck, he felt a sharp pain. The stone was not a stone, but a snake. It bit Tom on his neck and he screamed. His dad and the woman heard him and ran into the room. They saw Tom lying on the floor with the snake around his neck. The woman was angry and yelled at Tom for opening her box. She said that the snake was her pet and that it was very rare and unique and that Tom had ruined it. + +Tom's dad tried to take the snake off Tom's neck, but it was too late. The snake had poisoned Tom and he was not breathing. Tom's dad was sad and cried. He hugged Tom and said that he was sorry. The woman did not care. She took her box and her snake and left. She did not say sorry or thank you. She was a bad woman. Tom was a good boy, but he made a big mistake. He did not listen to his dad and the woman. He did not deliver the box, he opened it. And he died. The end. +Tommy loved to play with his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a big truck. He liked to make the truck go vroom and beep. He liked to deliver toys to his friends with the truck. + +One day, Tommy saw a new toy in the store. It was a green monster. It had big teeth and claws. It made scary noises.

Tommy was sad and angry. + +He decided to take the monster anyway. He waited until his mom was not looking. He grabbed the monster and ran out of the store. He put the monster in his truck and drove away. He thought he was very clever. + +But he was not. The monster was not a toy. It was alive. It was hungry and angry. It did not like to be in the truck.

He wished he had not taken the disgusting monster. He wished he had played with his toys. But it was too late. The end. +Sam and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big red ball on the grass.

It is a metal file that someone left behind. Lily has an idea. She picks up the file and walks to the dog. + +"Look, dog, a file!" Lily says. She shows the file to the dog.

The chest opened. He saw a lot of toys inside. He smiled. + +"Look, Lily, I found the treasure!" Ben said. He took out a toy car and a doll. + +Lily caught up with him. She was angry and sad. She saw her bow and the key on the ground. She saw the chest and the toys. + +"Ben, you are very bad! You took my bow and my key. You opened the chest. That is not your treasure. That is grandma's treasure. She wanted me to have it. She said it was a surprise for me. You ruined it!" Lily said. She started to cry. + +Ben felt sorry. He saw that Lily was crying. He realized he did something wrong. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know. I was just curious. Please don't cry. Here, take your bow and your key. And you can have the toys too. I don't want them.

She forgave him. + +"Thank you, Ben. I'm sorry too. I was mean to you. You can be my friend. And you can share the toys with me. Grandma would want that.

They had fun and happiness. They were friends. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. It is very pretty. + +"Mom, what is that?" Sara asks. She has a question. + +"That is a hot air balloon, Sara. People can ride in it and see the world from high up," Mom says. + +"Can we ride in it, Mom?" Ben asks. He has a question too. + +"Maybe someday, Ben. But not today. It is too far and too expensive," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They want to ride in the balloon. They watch it rise higher and higher in the sky. It looks like a toy. + +"Look, Sara, look, Ben. I have a surprise for you," Dad says. He takes out two small balloons from his backpack. They are red and yellow and blue too. He blows them up and ties them to strings. + +"Here you go, Sara.

They are happy with their mom and dad. They are happy in the park. +Sara was a little girl who liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs and the birds. One day, she saw something shiny in the grass. She went closer and saw a tiny fairy with a gray dress and wings. + +"Hello, fairy," Sara said. "What are you doing here?" + +"Hello, little girl," the fairy said. "I am looking for my friends. We were playing hide and seek, but they all flew away and left me alone." + +"That is not nice," Sara said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, please," the fairy said. "You are very kind." + +Sara and the fairy played together for a long time. They ran around the garden, they made crowns with flowers, they sang songs and told stories.

Come on, honey." + +Sara looked at the fairy and said, "I have to go, fairy. But I will come back tomorrow and play with you again. Will you wait for me?" + +"Of course, Sara," the fairy said. "You are my friend. But you have to promise me something." + +"What is it, fairy?" Sara asked. + +"Promise me that you will not tell anyone about me.

I will not tell anyone about you." + +"Thank you, Sara," the fairy said. "You are very smart and loyal. I will see you tomorrow." + +Sara hugged the fairy and ran to her mother. She did not tell her about the fairy. She kept her promise and her friend. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind to others, even if they are different from you. And keep your promises, because they are important for friendship. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were soldiers and march around. They had sticks for guns and hats for helmets. + +"March, march, march!" Tom shouted. "We are brave soldiers!" + +"Yes, we are!" Lily agreed. "We serve our country!" + +They marched to a bench where a man was sitting. He had a big beard and a newspaper. He looked at them with a confused face. + +"Hello, sir," Tom said. "We are soldiers. Do you need our help?" + +The man smiled and shook his head. "No, thank you, little soldiers. I'm just reading the news." + +"What is the news?" Lily asked. + +The man showed them the newspaper. It had a lot of words and pictures. Tom and Lily could not read them. + +"It's about the world," the man said. "There are many things happening. Some good, some bad." + +"Like what?" Tom asked. + +The man pointed to a picture of a fire. "This is a fire. It burned a lot of houses and trees. It's very sad." + +Tom and Lily frowned. They did not like fire. It was hot and scary. + +The man pointed to another picture of a cake. "This is a cake. It's for a birthday. It's very happy." + +Tom and Lily smiled. They liked cake. It was sweet and yummy. + +The man pointed to another picture of a dog. "This is a dog. It's a hero. It saved a boy from a snake. It's very brave." + +Tom and Lily clapped. They liked dogs. They were friendly and loyal. + +The man closed the newspaper. "You see, little soldiers, the world is full of different things. Some make us sad, some make us happy, some make us brave. We have to serve the world by being kind and helpful to everyone." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They liked the man. He was wise and nice. + +"Thank you, sir," Tom said. "You taught us a lot." + +"Yes, thank you, sir," Lily said. "You are a good friend." + +The man hugged them. "You're welcome, little soldiers. You are good children. Now, go and play. And remember, march, march, march!" + +Tom and Lily saluted. "Yes, sir!" + +They ran away, still pretending to be soldiers. They marched, marched, marched. They served the world by being kind and helpful to everyone. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today it is raining. The sky is gray and the ground is wet. They cannot go outside and have fun. + +"I am bored," Anna says. She looks out the window and sees the rain. "Can we do something else?" + +"Me too," Ben says. He puts down his car and joins Anna. "What can we do?" + +They think for a while. Then they have an idea. They run to their mom and ask her for some paper and crayons. Mom smiles and gives them what they need. + +"Thank you, mom," Anna and Ben say. They go back to their room and sit on the floor. They start to draw what they see out the window. They draw the rain, the clouds, the trees, and the birds. They use many colors and make their pictures bright and beautiful. + +They spend a long time drawing and talking. They forget about being bored. They are happy and proud of their art. They show their mom their pictures and she hugs them. + +"You are very creative," mom says. "I love your pictures. You made a wet day into a fun day." +Sara and Ben like to play with the big machine in the park. The machine has buttons and wheels and makes funny noises. Sometimes the machine gives them candy or stickers if they press the right button. + +One day, Sara and Ben go to the park with their mom. They run to the machine and start to press the buttons. But the machine does not work. It does not make any noise or give them anything. + +"Mom, the machine is broken!" Sara says. + +Mom comes to look at the machine. She sees a sign that says "Out of order. Do not touch. Fragile." + +"Sorry, kids, the machine is not working today. It is fragile, that means it can break easily. We have to leave it alone," Mom says. + +But Ben does not listen. He wants to play with the machine. He urges Sara to help him. + +"Come on, Sara, let's try to fix the machine. Maybe we can find the candy inside. It will be fun," Ben says. + +He pulls Sara's hand and tries to open the machine. He pushes and pulls on the wheels and the buttons. + +"Ben, stop! Mom said we have to leave it alone. You will make it worse. You will get in trouble," Sara says. + +But Ben does not stop. He keeps trying to open the machine. He does not see the man who works at the park coming towards them. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing? Get away from that machine!" the man says. + +He is angry. He grabs Ben and Sara by their arms and takes them to their mom. + +"These kids were messing with the machine. They could have hurt themselves or damaged the machine. It is very fragile. You should watch them better," the man says. + +Mom is sorry. She scolds Ben and Sara. + +"Ben, Sara, you were very naughty. You did not listen to me or the sign. You could have broken the machine or hurt yourself. You have to respect other people's things. Say sorry to the man," Mom says. + +Ben and Sara are ashamed. They say sorry to the man. + +The man is still angry, but he accepts their apology. + +"Next time, be more careful and follow the rules. Maybe the machine will work again soon. But until then, leave it alone," the man says. + +Ben and Sara nod. They promise to be good. They do not want to play with the machine anymore. They go to the swings instead. They hope the machine will be fixed soon. They like the machine, but they like their mom more. +Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They did not use the oven, because it was hot and dangerous. + +But one day, they saw that the oven was open. They wondered what was inside. They saw a big cake with chocolate and sprinkles. It looked so good. They wanted to taste it. + +"Can we have some cake?" Sara asked Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe Mommy made it for later. Maybe she will be mad if we touch it." + +"But I'm hungry," Sara said. "And it smells so good. Just a little bite won't hurt." + +She reached for the cake. But then she heard a loud voice. + +"Stop!" Mommy shouted. "Don't touch the oven! It's very hot! You could burn yourself!" + +Sara and Ben jumped back. They were scared. They saw Mommy running to the kitchen. She looked angry and worried. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy," Sara said. "We just wanted some cake." + +Mommy sighed. She hugged them and checked their hands. They were not burned. She was relieved. + +"I know you wanted some cake," Mommy said. "But you have to wait until it cools down. And you have to ask me first. The oven is not a toy. It can hurt you. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They felt sorry. They did not want to make Mommy worry. + +"I love you, Mommy," Sara said. + +"I love you, too," Mommy said. "And I love you, Ben." + +She smiled and kissed them. Then she cut a small piece of cake for each of them. It was still warm and yummy. They ate it and said thank you. + +They learned their lesson. They never played with the oven again. They only played with the pots and pans and spoons and bowls. And they always asked Mommy before they ate anything. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bath. They splash water and make bubbles. They have fun. + +But one day, Anna wants to play with Ben's toy boat. She grabs it from his hand. Ben gets angry. He wants his boat back. + +"Give me my boat!" Ben says. "No, it is mine now!" Anna says. They pull the boat. The boat breaks. They both cry. + +Mama hears them. She runs to the bathroom. She sees the broken boat and the wet floor. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mama asks. "You are foolish. You broke your toy and made a mess. Now you have no boat and no bath." + +She takes a towel and wraps Anna and Ben. She carries them to their room. She puts them in their beds. + +"You need to say sorry to each other," Mama says. "And you need to share your toys. Or you will have no toys at all." + +Anna and Ben feel sad. They look at each other. They say sorry. They hug. They promise to share. + +Mama smiles. She kisses them good night. She turns off the light. + +Anna and Ben fall asleep. They dream of a new boat. A boat for both of them. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with grass and flowers. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's run up the hill!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find a treasure or a castle or a dragon!" + +"OK!" Lily said. "But we have to be back soon. Mom and Dad will be worried if we are gone too long." + +They ran up the hill, holding hands. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and sang as they ran. They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a pond with ducks and a bridge with a troll. They saw a tree with a swing and a hut with a witch. They saw a lot of things that made them happy and curious. + +"Wow!" Tom said. "This is amazing! Let's go see the ducks and the troll and the swing and the witch!" + +"Wait!" Lily said. "We have to go back now. Mom and Dad will be worried. They said we have to be back by lunchtime. And look, the sky is getting dark. It might rain soon." + +"But I want to stay and play!" Tom said. "We can come back tomorrow. Please, Lily, please!" + +"No, Tom, no!" Lily said. "We have to go back now. Come on, Tom, don't be silly. We have to be good and listen to Mom and Dad. They love us and they want us to be safe." + +Lily pulled Tom by the hand and started to run down the hill. Tom was sad and angry. He wanted to stay and play. He didn't want to go back. He let go of Lily's hand and ran the other way. He ran to the pond and the bridge and the tree and the hut. He didn't care about Mom and Dad or Lily or the rain. He only cared about having fun. + +Lily was scared and worried. She didn't know what to do. She ran after Tom and called his name. She tried to catch him and bring him back. But Tom was too fast and too stubborn. He ran away from Lily and away from the park and away from home. He ran into trouble. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig, run and chase the butterflies. But they also liked to enter the house and see what Mum was doing. + +One day, they entered the house and saw Mum in the kitchen. She was making a cake. It smelled very good. Mum smiled and said, "Hello, my loves. Do you want to help me with the cake?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They loved to help Mum. Mum gave them aprons and spoons. She said, "You can stir the batter and put some sprinkles on top. But be careful, don't make a mess. We want to keep the kitchen tidy." + +Tom and Lily tried to be careful. They stirred the batter and put some sprinkles on top. But they also spilled some flour and sugar on the table and the floor. They giggled and said, "Oops, sorry, Mum." + +Mum looked at the mess and sighed. But then she looked at Tom and Lily and saw their happy faces. She said, "It's okay, my loves. You can help me clean up later. You know what? You are the best helpers ever. You make my heart very happy." She hugged them and kissed them. Tom and Lily hugged her back and said, "We love you, Mum. You make our hearts very happy too." +Sara and Sam are twins. They look the same and like the same things. They go to the same school and play with the same toys. But sometimes they have different questions. + +One day, Sara and Sam are walking home with their mom. They see a big truck with a lot of boxes. Sara wants to know what is in the boxes. She asks her mom, "Mom, what is in the boxes?" + +Mom says, "The boxes have books and clothes and toys. They are for the people who live in the new house. They are moving in today." + +Sara says, "Oh, I see. Can we say hello to them?" + +Mom says, "Sure, we can say hello to them. Maybe they have a child your age. You can make a new friend." + +Sam does not care about the boxes or the new people. He sees a big dog in the yard. He likes dogs. He wants to pet the dog. He asks his mom, "Mom, can I pet the dog?" + +Mom says, "No, Sam, you can't pet the dog. The dog does not know you. He might be scared or angry. He might bite you. You have to ask the owner first." + +Sam says, "But I want to pet the dog. He looks nice and fluffy." + +Mom says, "I know, Sam, but you have to be careful. Not all dogs are friendly. You have to respect their space. Maybe later you can pet the dog, if the owner says yes." + +Sara and Sam are nosy. They like to learn new things. But they also have to listen to their mom. She explains things to them. She helps them be safe and polite. She loves them very much. +Anna was an adventurous girl. She liked to try new things and go to new places. She was not afraid of anything. She was very happy to go to class every day and learn with her friends. + +One day, the teacher brought a big basket of fruits to class. She said they were from different countries and they had different tastes. She said the class could eat some of the fruits and share them with each other. Anna was very excited. She wanted to eat all the fruits and see how they tasted. + +She saw a big yellow fruit with a brown skin. It looked like a banana, but it was bigger and harder. She asked the teacher what it was. The teacher said it was a plantain. She said it was not sweet like a banana, but it was good to cook and eat. She said Anna could try it, but she had to peel it first. + +Anna did not listen to the teacher. She was too adventurous. She thought the plantain would taste better with the skin. She took a big bite of the plantain and chewed it. She did not like it. It was bitter and dry and hard. She made a face and spat it out. She wanted to drink some water, but there was none. + +She felt something in her mouth. It was a big seed. It was stuck in her throat. She could not breathe. She tried to cough, but it did not help. She felt scared and sad. She looked at the teacher and her friends. They looked scared and sad too. They tried to help her, but they did not know what to do. + +Anna could not breathe. She could not eat. She could not talk. She could not live. She closed her eyes and fell to the floor. She was not adventurous anymore. She was gone. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cardboard. They make houses, cars, and rockets with cardboard. They use scissors, tape, and markers to cut and color the cardboard. + +One day, they find a big cardboard box in the garage. They want to make a spaceship with it. They use the scissors to make a door and windows. They use the tape to stick some cardboard wings and a cardboard cone on the box. They use the markers to draw stars and planets on the box. + +They are very happy with their spaceship. They take it to the backyard and pretend to fly to the moon. They take turns to be the pilot and the co-pilot. They make sounds like "whoosh" and "beep". + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is the neighbor's dog. The dog is big and black. He barks and runs towards them. Tim and Sam are fearful. They think the dog wants to bite them and their spaceship. + +They run inside the spaceship and close the door. They hope the dog will go away. They hug each other and say, "Don't be scared. We are safe in our spaceship. The dog can't get us here." + +The dog sniffs the cardboard box. He thinks it is a toy. He bites the cardboard cone and pulls it off. He shakes the cardboard wings and tears them apart. He scratches the cardboard door and makes a hole. + +Tim and Sam hear the dog. They are more fearful. They cry and shout, "Help! Help! The dog is breaking our spaceship!" + +Their mom hears them. She comes to the backyard. She sees the dog and the cardboard box. She is angry. She yells at the dog, "Bad dog! Go away! Leave the boys alone!" + +The dog hears the mom. He is scared. He drops the cardboard and runs away. He hides under a tree. + +The mom goes to the cardboard box. She opens the door. She sees Tim and Sam. They are sad and scared. She hugs them and says, "It's okay. You are safe now. The dog is gone. I'm sorry he ruined your spaceship. You did a great job with it. It was very creative and fun." + +Tim and Sam hug the mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you. Can we make another spaceship?" + +The mom smiles and says, "Of course you can. But first, let's go inside and have some cookies and milk. You deserve a treat after your adventure." +Tom and Jen are two playful cats who live in a big house with their owner, Sam. Sam loves them very much and gives them food, water, toys and cuddles every day. He also takes them to the vet sometimes to keep them healthy and clean. + +One day, Sam brings home a new bottle of oil that he says is good for their fur and skin. He tries to put some oil on Tom and Jen, but they refuse. They don't like the smell and the feel of the oil. They run away and hide under the bed. Sam is sad and says, "Please, let me help you. The oil will make you shiny and soft. Trust me, it's good for you." + +But Tom and Jen don't listen. They think they know better and they don't need the oil. They stay under the bed and play with each other. They forget about Sam and the oil. + +The next day, Sam goes to work and leaves Tom and Jen alone in the house. They come out of the bed and explore the house. They find the bottle of oil on the table and knock it over. The oil spills on the floor and makes it slippery and sticky. Tom and Jen don't notice and step on the oil. They slip and slide and fall. They hurt themselves and get oil all over their fur and skin. They cry and meow and wish Sam was there. + +When Sam comes back, he sees the mess and the cats. He is shocked and angry. He scolds Tom and Jen and says, "Look what you have done! You wasted the oil and made a big mess. You also hurt yourselves and ruined your fur and skin. Now you have to go to the vet and get cleaned and treated. You should have listened to me and let me put the oil on you. It would have saved you a lot of trouble and pain." + +Tom and Jen feel sorry and ashamed. They realize they were wrong and foolish. They apologize to Sam and say, "We're sorry, Sam. We were playful and stubborn. We didn't trust you and refused the oil. We learned our lesson. Please, forgive us and help us." + +Sam forgives them and hugs them. He takes them to the vet and pays a lot of money to get them cleaned and treated. He hopes they will heal and be happy again. He also hopes they will listen to him and trust him more in the future. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes, it's better to listen to someone who knows more and cares for you than to refuse their help and do what you want. You might end up in trouble and regret your choice. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, and books. Sometimes they share their toys, and sometimes they fight over them. + +One day, they want to play outside. They ask their mom if they can go. Mom says yes, but they have to store their toys first. Store means to put away in a box or a shelf. Anna and Ben do not like to store their toys. They want to play more. + +"Mom, can we store our toys later?" Anna asks. + +"No, you have to store them now. If you leave them on the floor, someone might step on them or lose them. You don't want that, do you?" Mom says. + +Anna and Ben shake their heads. They do not want to lose their toys. They start to store their toys in a big box. Big means large. Large means not small. + +When they finish, they go outside. They see a large ground. Ground means the dirt and grass where you can walk and run. The ground has many flowers and bugs. Anna and Ben like to look at the flowers and bugs. They also see a large ball. Ball means a round thing that you can throw and catch. + +"Look, a ball!" Ben says. "Let's play with it!" + +"Okay!" Anna says. They run to the ball. They take turns throwing and catching it. They have fun. + +They do not see a large dog. Dog means a furry animal that barks and wags its tail. The dog sees the ball. The dog likes balls. The dog runs to the ball. The dog grabs the ball with its mouth. The dog runs away with the ball. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Ben says. He chases the dog. + +"Ben, wait!" Anna says. She chases Ben. + +They follow the dog to a large house. House means a place where people and animals live. The house has a large fence. Fence means a thing that keeps people and animals in or out. The dog goes inside the fence. The dog drops the ball. + +"Can we get our ball back?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. The fence is too high. And the dog might bite us." Ben says. + +They look at the house. They see a large window. Window means a thing that you can see through. They see a person inside the window. The person sees them. + +"Hello, kids. What are you doing here?" The person says. + +"Hello, sir. We are looking for our ball. Your dog took it." Anna says. + +"Oh, I'm sorry. My dog likes balls. He doesn't mean to be bad. I'll get your ball for you. Wait here." The person says. + +He goes outside. He opens the fence. He gets the ball. He gives it to Anna and Ben. + +"Here you go. I hope you have fun with your ball. And please store it when you are done. You don't want to lose it again, do you?" The person says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They thank the person. They thank the dog. They go back to their mom. They tell her what happened. Mom hugs them. She is glad they are safe. She is proud they are polite. + +They play with their ball some more. Then they store it in their box. They have a good day. +Ben and Mia were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jug of juice on the table. They wanted some juice, but they could not reach the jug. + +"Let's get a chair," Ben said. He dragged a chair to the table and climbed on it. He grabbed the jug and tried to pour some juice into a cup. + +But the jug was too heavy for Ben. He lost his balance and dropped the jug. The jug broke and the juice spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Mia cried. "Mom will be mad!" + +Ben felt bad. He tried to clean up the mess with a napkin. But the napkin was too small. He tore the napkin into pieces and threw them on the floor. + +"That's not helping!" Mia said. "We need a towel!" + +She ran to the bathroom and looked for a towel. But there was no towel available. All the towels were in the laundry basket. + +"What do we do?" Mia asked. + +Ben did not know. He heard Mom coming. He was scared. + +"Mom, we're sorry!" he said. "We made a mistake!" +Lila was a spoiled girl who had many toys and clothes. She liked to comb her long hair and look at herself in the mirror. She did not like to share or play with other children. She only wanted to do what she liked. + +One day, her mother took her to the park. There were many children playing on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. Lila did not want to join them. She wanted to sit on a bench and comb her hair. She did not care about the birds, the flowers or the sun. + +"Come on, Lila, let's have some fun," her mother said. "Look, there is a nice girl who wants to be your friend. She has a pretty comb too. Why don't you go and talk to her?" + +Lila looked at the girl. She had a pink comb with sparkles. Lila wanted that comb. She thought it was better than hers. She got up and walked towards the girl. She did not say hello or smile. She just grabbed the comb from the girl's hand. + +"Hey, that's mine!" the girl cried. "Give it back!" + +Lila ran away with the comb. She thought she was clever and happy. But she was wrong. The girl was not alone. She had a big brother who saw what Lila did. He was angry and ran after Lila. He was faster and stronger than her. + +"Stop, you thief!" he shouted. "Give my sister her comb back!" + +Lila was scared. She did not know what to do. She dropped the comb and tried to hide behind a tree. But the brother found her and grabbed her arm. He was not gentle. He was rough. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cried. "Let me go!" + +Her mother heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the brother holding Lila and the girl holding her comb. She understood what happened. She was ashamed and sorry. + +"I'm so sorry," she said to the brother and the girl. "Lila was very naughty. She should not have taken your comb. She should have asked nicely or followed your example. She should have been friendly and polite. She should have learned to share and play." + +She took Lila by the hand and led her away. She did not give her a hug or a kiss. She did not buy her ice cream or candy. She did not let her comb her hair or look at herself in the mirror. She made her sit in a corner and think about what she did. + +Lila was not clever or happy. She was foolish and sad. She realized she was a spoiled girl who had no friends. She wished she had been nicer to the girl with the pink comb. She wished she had followed her mother's advice. She wished she had learned to have some fun. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play games. One day, they saw a poster that said there was a big race in the park. The poster said the winner would get a prize. Lily and Ben wanted to win the prize, so they decided to prepare for the race. + +They ran every day, ate good food, and drank water. They also practiced how to start and how to finish. They were very excited for the race day. + +On the race day, they went to the park with their parents. They saw many other kids who wanted to win the prize too. They lined up at the start line and waited for the whistle. When they heard the whistle, they ran as fast as they could. + +Lily and Ben were very good runners, and they soon passed many other kids. They were close to the finish line, and they could see the prize. It was a big teddy bear with a red bow. Lily and Ben both wanted the teddy bear very much. + +But then, something happened. Ben tripped on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and cried. Lily saw Ben and stopped running. She ran back to Ben and helped him up. She asked him if he was okay. + +"I'm okay, but I'm sad. I wanted to win the prize," Ben said. + +Lily hugged Ben and said, "Don't be sad, Ben. You are my friend, and friends help each other. The prize is not as important as our friendship. We can share the teddy bear if we win, or we can play with something else if we don't." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I tripped. Let's finish the race together." + +Lily and Ben held hands and walked to the finish line. They did not win the prize, but they were happy. They learned that friendship is more valuable than any prize. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used water from the sink. The sink was big and shiny and had a tap. + +"Look, I made soup!" Lily said. She showed Tom her bowl. It had water and salt and pepper and some leaves. "Do you want some?" + +"No, thank you," Tom said. He was busy with his own bowl. He had water and sugar and flour and some black paint. He wanted to make a cake. "Look, I made cake batter!" He showed Lily his bowl. It was black and sticky and smelled bad. + +"Yuck!" Lily said. She made a face. "That's not cake, that's mud! You can't use paint for food!" + +"Yes, I can!" Tom said. He was angry. He didn't like Lily's soup either. He thought it was boring. He wanted to have fun. He had an idea. He picked up his bowl and threw it at Lily. + +"Hey!" Lily shouted. She dodged the bowl, but some of the black paint splashed on her dress. It was her favorite dress. It was pink and had flowers. Now it had black spots. She was sad and mad. She picked up her bowl and threw it back at Tom. + +The bowls missed each other in the air and crashed on the floor. The water and the paint and the soup spilled everywhere. The kitchen was a mess. The sink was full of black water. The pots and pans and spoons and bowls were dirty and broken. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Tom and Lily and the mess. She was very angry. She yelled at them and told them to go to their rooms. She said they had to clean up later. She said they were in big trouble. + +Tom and Lily ran to their rooms. They were scared and sorry. They wished they had not thrown the bowls. They wished they had played nicely. They wished they had made real food. They wished they had listened to Mom. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. Today, Mom is making soup. She gives Tom and Lily a big onion to peel. + +"Be careful with the onion," Mom tells them. "It can make your eyes water. And don't eat it raw. It is very spicy." + +Tom and Lily nod. They take the onion to the table. They use a small knife to cut off the skin. They try not to cry when the onion smells strong. + +"Look, Lily," Tom says. "The onion has many layers. It is like a puzzle." + +"Yes, Tom," Lily says. "But why do we need the onion for the soup? It is not very yummy." + +Mom hears them. She smiles and comes to the table. She takes the peeled onion and chops it into small pieces. + +"The onion is very important for the soup," Mom tells them. "It gives the soup a lot of flavor. And it is good for your health. It has vitamins and minerals that help you grow strong and smart." + +Tom and Lily are curious. They want to taste the onion. Mom gives them each a tiny piece. + +"Be careful, it is spicy," Mom warns them. + +Tom and Lily put the onion in their mouths. They make a funny face. The onion is very spicy. It makes their tongues burn. + +"Wow, Mom, you are right," Tom says. "The onion is very spicy. But it is also interesting." + +"I agree, Mom," Lily says. "The onion is not very yummy. But it is very important." + +Mom hugs them. She is proud of them. She puts the onion in the pot with water and other vegetables. She stirs the soup. + +"Thank you for helping me, Tom and Lily," Mom says. "You are very good helpers. And very brave tasters. Now, let's wait for the soup to cook. It will be delicious. And you will like it more than the raw onion." + +Tom and Lily smile. They are happy to help Mom. They are excited to try the soup. They think the onion is a very special vegetable. +Tommy loves to count. He counts his fingers, his toes, his toys, his books. He counts everything he sees. He likes to show his daddy how good he is at counting. + +One day, Tommy and his daddy go to the zoo. They see many animals. Tommy counts them all. He counts the monkeys, the zebras, the giraffes, the lions. He counts the birds, the fish, the snakes, the turtles. He counts and counts and counts. + +"Look, daddy, I can count to ten!" Tommy says proudly. + +"That's very good, Tommy. You are a smart boy," his daddy says. "Can you count the bears?" + +Tommy looks at the big brown bears. They are sleeping in a cave. He sees one, two, three, four bears. He opens his mouth to count them, but then he sees something else. A small, furry, black thing. It moves and makes a noise. + +"What's that, daddy?" Tommy asks. + +"That's a baby bear, Tommy. It's called a cub. It's very cute, isn't it?" his daddy says. + +Tommy nods. He thinks the cub is cute. He wants to count it too. He says, "One, two, three, four, five!" + +But then, something happens. The big bears wake up. They hear Tommy counting. They see him pointing at their cub. They do not like it. They roar and growl. They show their teeth and claws. They are fierce and angry. + +"Run, Tommy, run!" his daddy shouts. He grabs Tommy's hand and pulls him away. They run to the gate. They are safe. + +Tommy is scared. He hugs his daddy. He says, "Sorry, daddy. I didn't mean to make the bears mad. I just wanted to count them." + +"It's okay, Tommy. You didn't know. The bears are very protective of their cub. They don't like strangers near them. You have to be careful around wild animals. They are not like your toys or books. They can hurt you," his daddy says. + +Tommy nods. He understands. He says, "I love you, daddy. Thank you for saving me." + +"I love you too, Tommy. You are my brave boy," his daddy says. He kisses Tommy's head. He says, "Let's go home. We can count something else. How about the stars?" +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. But they did not like the big dog that lived next to the park. The dog was big and loud and mean. Sometimes he barked and chased them when they came too close to his fence. + +One day, Sam and Lily saw a hole in the fence. They were curious and wanted to see what was on the other side. They looked at each other and nodded. They crawled through the hole and entered the dog's yard. + +The yard was dirty and smelly. There were bones and cans and old shoes everywhere. Sam and Lily did not like it. They wanted to go back to the park. But before they could turn around, they heard a growl. The big dog was there. He saw them and ran towards them. + +"Run!" Sam shouted. He and Lily ran as fast as they could. They tried to reach the hole in the fence. But the dog was faster. He caught up with them and bit Sam's heel. Sam cried out in pain. He fell to the ground. Lily stopped and looked back. She saw Sam and the dog. She was scared but brave. + +"Let go of him!" Lily yelled. She picked up a stick and threw it at the dog. The stick hit the dog's head. The dog was surprised and angry. He let go of Sam's heel and turned to Lily. He barked and ran towards her. + +Lily did not have another stick. She did not know what to do. She saw a rope on the ground. She grabbed it and twisted it around the dog's neck. She pulled hard. The dog choked and stopped. He dropped to the ground. He was still and quiet. + +Sam and Lily looked at each other. They were happy and relieved. They hugged each other. They crawled through the hole in the fence and ran back to the park. They did not look back. They did not want to see the big dog ever again. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. They want to have it all for themselves. + +One day, they find a big, heavy box in the garage. They wonder what is inside. They open the box and see a lot of shiny things. They are happy and excited. They want to touch and play with everything. + +But then they see a big, red car. It has four wheels and a horn. It looks like a real car. They both want to have it. They start to fight over it. They pull and push and shout. + +"Mine!" Sara says. + +"No, mine!" Tom says. + +They make a lot of noise. They do not hear their mom's voice. She comes to the garage and sees them fighting. She is angry and sad. + +"Stop!" she says. "Why are you fighting? You have so many toys. You should share and be nice to each other." + +She takes the big, red car away from them. She puts it back in the box. She tells them to go to their room and think about what they did. + +Sara and Tom feel sorry. They do not want to fight anymore. They hug and say sorry to each other. They say sorry to their mom too. They learn their lesson. They promise to share and be nice to each other. They hope their mom will let them play with the big, red car again. They think it is the best toy ever. +Tom and Lily were playing in the field. They liked to run and hide in the wheat. The wheat was tall and yellow and soft. They pretended they were lions and rabbits and birds. + +But one day, they saw a big black dog in the field. The dog was barking and growling. It looked scary and angry. Tom and Lily were afraid of the dog. They tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It chased them through the wheat. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Lily shouted. "There is a scary dog!" + +But no one heard them. Their mom and dad were far away in the house. They did not know that Tom and Lily were in trouble. They were busy cooking and cleaning and talking. + +The dog caught up with Tom and Lily. It bit them and scratched them and shook them. Tom and Lily cried and screamed. They were hurt and scared. They wished their mom and dad would come and save them. + +But no one came. The dog dragged them to a dark and dirty place. It ate them up. Tom and Lily were gone. The wheat was red and wet with their blood. The dog was happy and full. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. The dog is not normal. It has a hat on its head and a scarf around its neck. + +"Look, Lily, a dog with a hat!" Ben says. + +"Wow, a dog with a scarf!" Lily says. + +They want to pet the dog. They jog to the dog. The dog is happy. It wags its tail and licks their faces. + +"Hello, dog, you are funny!" Lily says. + +"Hello, dog, you are cute!" Ben says. + +The dog barks. It takes something out of its pocket. It is a bone. The dog gives the bone to Lily and Ben. + +"Thank you, dog, you are nice!" Lily and Ben say. + +They share the bone with the dog. They play with the dog. They have fun. The dog is their new friend. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play and have fun. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box has many fancy things inside. There are hats and scarves and shoes and dresses. Anna and Ben want to try them on. + +"Look, I am a princess!" Anna says. She puts on a pink dress and a shiny crown. She spins and twirls and dances. + +"Look, I am a pirate!" Ben says. He puts on a black hat and a red scarf. He holds a wooden sword and makes noises. + +Anna and Ben pretend to be different people. They have a lot of fun. But then, they see something else in the box. It is a pair of scissors. The scissors are sharp and shiny. + +"Wow, look at these!" Ben says. He picks up the scissors and cuts the air. + +"Be careful, Ben!" Anna says. "The scissors are sharp. They can hurt you or the fancy things." + +"I know, I know," Ben says. "But they are fun. I can cut anything I want. Watch this!" He cuts a hole in the scarf he is wearing. + +"Ben, stop!" Anna says. "You are ruining the fancy things. They are not yours. They belong to someone else. Put the scissors back in the box." + +"No, I won't!" Ben says. "They are mine now. I found them. I can do what I want. And you can't tell me what to do. You are not the boss of me." + +Anna and Ben start to argue. They yell and push and pull. They are not friends anymore. They are angry and sad. They forget to play and have fun. They only care about the scissors and the fancy things. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they are pirates. They have a big box. The box is their ship. They sail on the sea and look for treasure. + +"Arrr, matey, I see an island!" Ben says. He points with his hand. "Let's go there and dig for gold!" + +"Okay, captain!" Anna says. She steers the box with a stick. They make boat noises with their mouths. They land on the island. They jump out of the box. They have shovels and buckets. + +They dig in the sand. They find shells and rocks. They put them in their buckets. They are happy. They dig some more. They find something big and white. They pull it out. It is a skeleton! + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna says. She holds the skeleton. It has a skull and bones. It is scary and cool. + +"Maybe it is a pirate skeleton!" Ben says. He touches the skull. It has a hole. "Maybe he was shot by a cannon!" + +"Or maybe he was eaten by a shark!" Anna says. She makes a shark noise. They laugh. + +They are not afraid of the skeleton. They think it is fun. They pretend it is their friend. They give it a name. They call it Bob. + +They put Bob in their box. They sail back to their home. They show Bob to their mom and dad. Their mom and dad are surprised. They ask them where they found Bob. They tell them their story. + +Their mom and dad are proud of them. They say they are very brave and creative. They applaud them. They clap their hands. Anna and Ben smile. They hug Bob. They are happy. They are pirates. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They had many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. + +"Look, I made a big green wall!" Tom said, showing Lily his creation. "It is very strong and tall." + +Lily smiled and said, "That is nice, Tom. But I like my yellow house better. It has a door and a window and a roof." + +Tom felt a little jealous of Lily's house. He wanted to make something better than her. He looked around and saw a big cushion on the sofa. He had an idea. + +"Watch this, Lily!" he said, grabbing the cushion. "I will make my wall even bigger and stronger!" + +He threw the cushion at his wall, hoping to make it higher. But he threw it too hard and too fast. The cushion hit the wall and knocked it down. The blocks fell everywhere, making a loud noise. + +Tom and Lily gasped. They saw that some of the blocks had hit the wall behind them. The wall had a big dent and a scratch. It was not green anymore. It was white and brown. + +"Oh no!" Tom said. "We broke the wall! Mom and Dad will be very angry!" + +Lily started to cry. She was scared and sad. She said, "Why did you do that, Tom? You ruined our blocks and the wall!" + +Tom felt very bad. He wished he had not thrown the cushion. He wished he had been nice to Lily. He regretted his idea. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly and mean. I did not mean to break the wall. I hope Mom and Dad can fix it." + +He hugged Lily and said, "Please don't cry, Lily. I love you. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily sniffed and nodded. She said, "I love you too, Tom. But we have to tell Mom and Dad what we did. Maybe they will not be too mad if we say sorry." + +Tom agreed. He said, "Yes, let's go and tell them. Maybe they will help us clean up the blocks too." + +They held hands and walked to the kitchen, where Mom and Dad were. They hoped they would not get in too much trouble. They learned their lesson. They would not throw things at the wall again. They would be careful and kind with their blocks and each other. +Tom and Mia were friends who lived next door to each other. They liked to play together in the garden and share their toys. One day, a big package arrived at Tom's house. It was a present from his grandma for his birthday. Tom was very happy and excited. He wanted to show Mia his new gift. + +He ran to Mia's house and knocked on the door. "Mia, Mia, come and see what I got!" he shouted. Mia opened the door and saw Tom holding the package. She was curious and envious. She wanted to have a package too. "What is it?" she asked. + +"It's a surprise! Come and help me open it!" Tom said. He took Mia's hand and led her to his garden. They sat on the grass and tore the paper off the package. Inside was a big red truck with wheels and lights and sounds. Tom's eyes sparkled. He loved trucks. He pressed a button and the truck made a loud honk. "Wow, this is awesome!" he exclaimed. + +Mia felt a pang in her chest. She wished she had a truck like that. She thought it was not fair that Tom had such a nice present and she had none. She looked around and saw that no one was watching. She had a bad idea. She decided to steal the truck from Tom. She grabbed the truck and ran away. "Hey, give it back! That's mine!" Tom cried. He chased after Mia, but she was faster. She reached her house and slammed the door behind her. She hid the truck under her bed and smiled. She thought she had won. + +But she was wrong. She soon felt guilty and sad. She knew she had hurt Tom and broken their friendship. She realized that stealing was wrong and that having a truck was not worth losing a friend. She decided to say sorry to Tom and return the truck. She took the truck and went to Tom's house. She knocked on the door and saw Tom's angry face. She felt ashamed. She gave him the truck and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was envious and I stole your truck. Please forgive me. I don't want to lose you as a friend." + +Tom was surprised and touched. He saw that Mia was sincere and regretful. He remembered that Mia was his friend and that friends make mistakes sometimes. He decided to forgive Mia and give her a hug. He said, "I'm sorry, too, Mia. I was selfish and I didn't share my truck with you. Please forgive me. I don't want to lose you as a friend, either." + +They smiled and hugged. They agreed to play with the truck together and share their toys. They learned that stealing was bad and that friendship was more important than things. They were happy and grateful. They thanked Tom's grandma for the truck and thanked each other for being friends. They lived happily ever after. +Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play together and share their toys. One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It had a red bow on it. It was a present for them. + +"Wow, look at that!" Anna said. "What do you think is inside?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe a new game or a book or a teddy bear." + +They ran to the box and tried to lift it. It was very heavy. They shook it and heard a strange noise. They were confused. + +"Is it alive?" Anna asked. + +"Maybe it's a puppy or a kitten," Ben said. + +They observed the box carefully. They saw a small hole on one side. They peeked inside and saw something furry and brown. It had two ears and a tail. It was a hamster! + +"Hello, little hamster," Anna said. "Are you our present?" + +The hamster squeaked and nibbled on a carrot. It looked happy. + +"Yes, he is," Mom said. She came into the living room and smiled. "His name is Fluffy. He is your new pet. Do you like him?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They were very happy. They thanked Mom and hugged Fluffy. They decided to share him and take good care of him. They loved their present. +Anna liked to play dress-up with her big sister's clothes and jewels. She found a shiny crystal necklace in a box and put it on. She felt very pretty and mighty, like a queen. + +She went to show her sister, but her sister was angry. She said the necklace was not for playing, it was very special. She said Anna had to give it back right now. + +Anna did not want to give it back. She liked the necklace too much. She ran away from her sister and hid under the bed. She thought her sister could not find her there. + +But her sister was smart. She knew where Anna liked to hide. She came to the bedroom and looked under the bed. She saw Anna's feet and the crystal necklace. + +She said, "Anna, please come out. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know you like the necklace, but it was a gift from grandma. She gave it to me before she went to heaven. It is very precious to me. You can wear it sometimes, but you have to be careful with it. Can you share it with me?" + +Anna felt sorry for her sister. She did not know the necklace was from grandma. She loved grandma too. She crawled out from under the bed and hugged her sister. She said, "I'm sorry, too. I didn't know it was grandma's. You can have it back. I can wear it sometimes, but only when you say so. I love you, sister." + +Her sister smiled and kissed her. She said, "I love you, too, Anna. You are a very sweet and mighty sister. Come on, let's go play dress-up together. You can wear the necklace and I'll wear the earrings. We'll be the prettiest and mightiest queens in the world." +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big barrel near the slide. They wanted to roll it and have fun. + +"Let me push it first!" Ben said. He was selfish and did not want to share. + +"No, it's my turn!" Lily said. She was angry and tried to grab the barrel. + +They both pulled and pushed the barrel. It was heavy and hard to move. They started to tease each other. + +"You are weak!" Ben said. + +"You are mean!" Lily said. + +They did not notice that the barrel was rolling away from them. It bumped into a tree and fell over. Water spilled out of the barrel and made a big puddle. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Lily said. They were surprised and wet. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized that they were silly and rude. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I should have let you push it first." Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I should have shared with you." Ben said. + +They hugged and smiled. They decided to play together and share the barrel. They rolled it and splashed in the puddle. They had fun and were happy. +Lily and Tom are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. Lily puts a red block on the side of the tower. Tom puts a blue block on the other side. They take turns to put more blocks on the sides. + +But then, Tom sees a yellow block. He likes yellow. He wants to put the yellow block on the top of the tower. He reaches for the yellow block. But Lily sees him. She says, "No, Tom! That is my block! I want to put it on the top!" + +Tom does not listen. He grabs the yellow block. He tries to put it on the top. But the tower is too high. It is not stable. It wobbles. It falls down. The blocks make a loud noise. Lily and Tom are sad. They cry. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what happened. She sees the mess. She sees Lily and Tom crying. She says, "What happened, kids? Why are you crying?" + +Lily and Tom tell Mom what happened. They say they are sorry. Mom says, "It's okay, kids. You can make a new tower. But you have to share the blocks. And you have to be careful. You have to put the blocks on the sides slow. Then the tower will not fall down." + +Lily and Tom nod. They say, "Okay, Mom. We will share. We will be careful. We will put the blocks on the sides slow." They hug Mom. They hug each other. They smile. They start to make a new tower. +Ben is a boy who likes to play with his toys. He has cars, trains, blocks and a big teddy bear. He loves his teddy bear very much and takes it everywhere. One day, he goes to visit his dad at work. His dad works in a lab, where he does science things. Ben is very curious and wants to see the lab. + +His dad says, "OK, Ben, you can come with me, but you have to be very careful and quiet. There are many things in the lab that are not for playing. They are for working and learning. Do you understand?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, dad, I understand. I will be careful and quiet." + +They go to the lab and Ben sees many things that he does not know. He sees machines, tubes, bottles, wires and papers. He also sees some people who work with his dad. They wear white coats and glasses. They look busy and serious. + +Ben follows his dad and tries to be careful and quiet. But he is also very bored. He wants to play with something. He sees a paper on a table that has some pictures and words on it. He thinks it looks like a book. He likes books. He goes to the table and picks up the paper. He tries to read it, but he does not know the words. He thinks it is a bad book. He decides to tear it. + +He tears the paper into small pieces and throws them in the air. He thinks it is fun. He laughs and says, "Look, dad, I made snow!" + +But his dad does not think it is fun. He thinks it is bad. He sees the paper that Ben tore. It is not a book. It is a report. It is a very important report that he worked on for a long time. He is very angry and sad. He says, "Ben, what did you do? You tore my report! That was very rude and naughty! You should not tear things that are not yours! You should say sorry!" + +Ben does not understand why his dad is angry and sad. He does not know what a report is. He does not know why it is important. He does not know why he should say sorry. He thinks his dad is rude and mean. He starts to cry and says, "But dad, I was just playing! I was bored! I did not know it was your report! I did not mean to be rude and naughty! You should not yell at me!" + +They both cry and yell. They do not listen to each other. They do not hug each other. They are very unhappy. + +The people who work in the lab hear them and come to see what is wrong. They see the paper that Ben tore and the report that his dad wrote. They see the tears and the anger. They feel sorry for them. They try to help them. + +They say, "It's OK, Ben, we know you were just playing. You did not know what the paper was. You did not mean to be rude and naughty. But you should say sorry to your dad, because he worked very hard on the report and he is very proud of it. It is not nice to tear things that are not yours. Can you say sorry?" + +They also say, "It's OK, dad, we know you are very angry and sad. You wrote a very good report and you are very smart. But you should not yell at Ben, because he is very young and curious. He did not know what the report was. He did not mean to make you angry and sad. He loves you very much. Can you hug him?" + +Ben and his dad listen to them. They think about what they did and what they said. They feel bad and sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug each other. They say, "I love you." + +They both smile and feel happy. They thank the people who work in the lab. They say, "You are very kind and helpful. You are good friends." + +They leave the lab and go home. They play with the teddy bear and the cars and the trains and the blocks. They read a good book. They have fun. They are careful and quiet. They are not rude and naughty. They are happy. +Tom and Ann are husband and wife. They love each other very much. They live in a small house with a big garden. They have a dog named Spot and a cat named Fluffy. + +One day, Tom wants to surprise Ann with a gift. He goes to the shop and buys a soft scarf for her. He thinks she will like it because it is her favorite color, blue. He also buys some paper and a ribbon to wrap the scarf. + +He comes back home and sees Ann in the kitchen. She is making a cake for them. He sneaks into the bedroom and wraps the scarf with the paper and the ribbon. He makes a bow on top. He is very happy with his gift. + +He goes to the kitchen and says, "Ann, I have something for you. Close your eyes and hold out your hands." Ann smiles and does what he says. Tom puts the wrapped scarf in her hands and says, "Open your eyes and see." + +Ann opens her eyes and sees the gift. She gasps and says, "Oh, Tom, what is this? It is so pretty and soft. Thank you so much. You are so sweet and kind." She hugs him and kisses him. She opens the gift and puts the scarf around her neck. She says, "I love it. It is perfect for me. You are the best husband ever." + +Tom and Ann are very happy. They go to the living room and sit on the sofa. They cuddle with Spot and Fluffy. They eat the cake and drink some tea. They talk and laugh and enjoy their time together. They are very grateful for each other and their gift. +Sara and Ben like to play in the backyard. They have a big sandbox where they dig and build things. One day, they find something strange in the sand. It is white and hard and has many parts. + +"What is this?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a skeleton," Ben says. + +"A skeleton? What is a skeleton?" Sara says. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He remembers what his mom told him once. "A skeleton is what is inside you and me. It holds us together. It has bones and a skull and teeth." + +Sara looks at the thing in the sand. She sees a round part with holes and bumps. She sees long parts and short parts. She sees some parts that look like fingers and toes. She is scared. + +"Let's put it back. I don't like it," she says. + +But Ben is curious. He wants to see more. He starts to pull the parts out of the sand. He tries to fit them together. He wants to make a skeleton. + +"No, Ben, stop. It is not nice. It is spooky," Sara says. + +But Ben does not listen. He is busy. He is preparing a skeleton. + +Just then, they hear a loud bark. It is Rex, their dog. He is nosy. He likes to sniff and lick everything. He sees the skeleton parts on the ground. He thinks they are toys. He runs to them and grabs one with his mouth. + +"Hey, Rex, no. Drop it. That is mine," Ben shouts. + +But Rex does not listen. He is happy. He is playing with a skeleton. He runs away with the part in his mouth. + +"Come back, Rex. Give it back," Ben cries. + +He chases after Rex. Sara follows him. They leave the sandbox and the skeleton behind. They do not see the big hole in the sand where the skeleton came from. They do not see the sign that says "Do not dig. Archaeological site." They do not see the angry man who is watching them from a distance. He is the one who put the skeleton there. He is not happy. He is preparing to yell. +Tom and Lily were playing with their snowman in the yard. They had made him with a big ball of snow for his body, a smaller ball for his head, a carrot for his nose, and two rocks for his eyes. They also gave him a hat and a scarf to keep him warm. + +"Look, our snowman is so happy!" Lily said. "He likes the sun and the snow." + +But Tom was not so sure. He saw that the sun was very bright and hot, and the snow was starting to drip from the snowman's body. He was worried that their snowman would melt. + +"Let's go inside and get some hot chocolate," Tom said. "Maybe the snowman will be okay if we leave him alone." + +Lily agreed, and they ran inside the house. They forgot to close the gate behind them. + +While they were inside, a big dog came by. He saw the snowman and thought it was a toy. He ran towards it and jumped on it. He bit the carrot nose and pulled it off. He scratched the rocks and knocked them down. He tore the hat and the scarf and tossed them away. He made a big mess of the snowman. He made a wreck. + +Tom and Lily heard the dog barking and came out to see what was happening. They saw their snowman ruined and the dog running away. They were very sad and angry. + +"Look what he did to our snowman!" Tom cried. "He melted him and wrecked him!" + +Lily started to cry too. She was scared of the dog and missed their snowman. + +"Don't cry, Lily," Tom said. "We can make another snowman. We just need more snow and more things to decorate him. And we will close the gate next time." + +He hugged his sister and tried to cheer her up. They went back inside and drank their hot chocolate. They hoped that it would snow again soon. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One night, they saw a big sack in the garden. It was glowing with many colors. They were curious and wanted to see what was inside. + +"Look, Lily, a glowing sack! Maybe it has toys or candy!" Tom said. + +"Or maybe it has something bad. We should not touch it, Tom. Mom and Dad said not to go near strange things," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the sack and opened it. He screamed and fell down. Lily ran to him and saw that he was covered with bees. The bees had made a hive in the sack and they were angry. They stung Tom all over his body. Lily was scared and cried for help. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came outside. They saw Tom and Lily and the glowing sack. They quickly got a spray and chased away the bees. They took Tom to the hospital. He was in pain and had many red spots. Lily was sorry and hugged him. + +The doctor said Tom would be okay, but he had to stay in bed for a long time. He also said that the glowing sack was a trap. Someone had put a light inside to attract children and then steal them. Mom and Dad were angry and sad. They called the police and told them about the sack. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They should not go near strange things that glow. They should listen to Mom and Dad and be careful. They should be happy with what they have and not be greedy. They should be peaceful and not hurt anyone or anything. +Tim and Kim are twins who like to play with their dog, Rex. Rex is a big, brown dog who likes to run and jump and lick their faces. Rex is also very smelly, because he likes to roll in the mud and the trash. Tim and Kim do not mind, because they love Rex very much. + +One day, Tim and Kim take Rex to the park, where they see a lot of other dogs and people. Some of the dogs are small and cute, some are big and loud, and some are fluffy and soft. Rex wants to play with all of them, but he does not know how to be nice. He barks and growls and chases the other dogs, and makes them scared and angry. The people are not happy, either. They say that Rex is a bad dog, and that he needs to learn the law. + +The law is a set of rules that dogs and people have to follow, so that everyone can be safe and happy. For example, the law says that dogs have to wear a leash, and that they have to be quiet and calm, and that they have to listen to their owners. Rex does not know the law, because Tim and Kim never taught him. They only gave him food and hugs and toys, but they did not teach him how to behave. + +A nice lady who works at the park sees that Rex is causing trouble, and she comes to talk to Tim and Kim. She tells them that Rex is a good dog, but he needs some training. She says that she can help them, if they want. She says that she can teach Rex how to bow, and how to sit, and how to stay, and how to come, and how to be friendly. She says that if Rex learns these things, he will be happier and healthier, and he will make more friends. She also says that Rex needs a bath, because he is very smelly. + +Tim and Kim agree to let the nice lady help them. They want Rex to be a good dog, and they want to follow the law. They also want Rex to smell better. They thank the nice lady, and they go with her to a place where she has some water and soap and towels. They watch as she washes Rex, and as she teaches him how to bow. Rex does not like the water and the soap, but he likes the towels and the treats. He also likes the nice lady, and he tries to do what she says. He learns how to bow, and he looks very proud and happy. Tim and Kim clap and cheer, and they hug Rex. They tell him that he is a good dog, and that they love him very much. +Tommy loved to paint. He had many colors and brushes. He liked to paint animals and plants. He painted on paper, on walls, and on his face. + +One day, he saw a lizard in the garden. The lizard was green and brown. It had a long tail and tiny feet. Tommy wanted to paint the lizard. He ran inside and got his paints. + +"Can I paint you, lizard?" he asked. He held his brush and a red paint. The lizard looked at him and blinked. + +"No, thank you," the lizard said. "I like my colors. They help me hide and find food. If you paint me red, I will stand out and be in danger." + +"But red is a jolly color," Tommy said. "It will make you happy and bright. Don't you want to be jolly?" + +The lizard shook his head. "No, I want to be safe and calm. Red is not for me. Maybe you can paint something else. How about a flower or a ball?" + +Tommy thought for a moment. He liked the lizard. He did not want to make him sad or scared. He put down his brush and paint. + +"Okay, lizard," he said. "I will not paint you. I will paint a flower instead. A red flower. Do you want to see?" + +The lizard nodded. He followed Tommy to a sunny spot. Tommy painted a big red flower on a white paper. He showed it to the lizard. + +"Look, lizard," he said. "This is a jolly flower. Do you like it?" + +The lizard smiled. He liked the flower. It was jolly and bright. But it was not him. + +"Yes, Tommy," he said. "I like it. It is a jolly flower. And you are a jolly boy. Thank you for being kind and letting me be me." +Sara and Ben were playing outside in the sun. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. They ran up the hill and looked at the sky. They saw a rainbow. It was very pretty. It had many colors. + +"Wow, look at the rainbow!" Sara said. "It is so bright and happy!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben said. "Do you know what a rainbow is?" + +Sara shook her head. She did not know. + +"A rainbow is when the sun and the rain make friends," Ben said. "They make a bridge of colors in the sky. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded. She thought she understood. She wanted to see the sun and the rain make friends. She wanted to touch the rainbow. + +"Can we go to the rainbow?" Sara asked. "Can we cross the bridge?" + +Ben shook his head. He did not think they could. + +"No, we can't," Ben said. "The rainbow is too far and too high. We can only look at it." + +Sara was sad. She really wanted to go to the rainbow. She did not listen to Ben. She ran down the hill and towards the rainbow. She thought she could catch it. + +"Wait, Sara, stop!" Ben shouted. "It is not safe!" + +But Sara did not stop. She did not hear Ben. She ran and ran and ran. She did not see the road. She did not see the car. She only saw the rainbow. + +The car saw Sara. It tried to stop. It tried to be gentle. But it was too late. It hit Sara. Sara fell down. She did not get up. She did not see the rainbow anymore. + +Ben ran to Sara. He cried and cried and cried. He did not understand. He did not understand why Sara had to go. He did not understand why the rainbow had to be so pretty. He did not understand why the sun and the rain had to make friends. He did not understand anything. +Lily liked to hear the birds sing in spring. She liked to see the flowers grow and the sun shine. She liked to play outside with her friends and her dog. + +One day, Lily wanted to make a gift for her mom. She decided to pick some flowers and make a bouquet. She took her basket and went to the garden. She saw many colors and shapes of flowers. She wanted to make her bouquet organized and pretty. + +She picked some red roses, some yellow daisies, some blue violets, and some white lilies. She put them in her basket in rows by color. She was very careful not to hurt the flowers or the bees. She was happy with her organized bouquet. + +She ran back to the house with her basket. She saw her mom in the kitchen. She said, "Mom, I have a gift for you! I made a bouquet of flowers for spring. I picked them from the garden. They are organized by color. Do you like them?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Lily, I love your gift! You are so thoughtful and creative. The flowers are beautiful and organized. You made my day. Thank you, my sweet girl." +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But Ben was not careful. He ran too fast and bumped his head on a rock. He fell down and cried. Mia ran to him and saw blood on his head. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Mia asked. She was scared. + +"It hurts, Mia. It hurts a lot." Ben said. He held his head with his hand. + +Mia looked around and saw a lady with a dog. She ran to her and said, "Please help. My friend is hurt. He bumped his head on a rock." + +The lady was kind. She came to Ben and looked at his head. She had a bandage in her bag. She wrapped it around Ben's head and said, "Don't worry, little one. You have a cut on your skull. That is the hard part of your head that protects your brain. The bandage will stop the blood and help you heal. But you need to go to the doctor and get a check-up." + +"Thank you, lady. You are nice." Mia said. + +"You're welcome, dear. And you are a good friend. You helped Ben when he was in trouble. That is what friends do." The lady said. + +Mia hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry you got hurt, Ben. I hope you feel better soon." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Mia. You are the best friend ever. I'm glad you are with me." + +They held hands and walked to the exit of the park. They saw their mom waiting for them. They told her what happened and she hugged them and took them to the doctor. + +The doctor looked at Ben's head and said, "You are lucky, Ben. You have a small cut on your skull, but it will heal soon. You just need to keep the bandage on and be gentle with your head. No more running and jumping for a while. Okay?" + +"Okay, doctor. I will be careful." Ben said. + +"Good boy. And you, Mia, you are a brave and caring friend. You did the right thing by getting help for Ben. You should be proud of yourself." The doctor said. + +"Thank you, doctor. I love Ben. He is my best friend." Mia said. + +The doctor gave them a sticker and a lollipop each. He said, "You are both very sweet. Now go home and rest. And remember, your skull is smooth and strong, but it needs to be protected. Always wear a helmet when you ride a bike or a scooter. And watch out for rocks and other things that can hurt your head. Okay?" + +"Okay, doctor. We will." Ben and Mia said. + +They hugged each other and went home with their mom. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and to help each other. They learned that their skull is smooth and strong, but it needs to be protected. And they learned that their friendship is smooth and strong, too. And it needs to be cherished. +Ben and Lily were very excited to see the fireworks. They had been waiting for a long time with their mom and dad. They wore warm clothes and hats, because it was cold and dark outside. + +"Can we go closer, mom?" Lily asked. She wanted to see the bright colors and hear the loud noises. + +"No, sweetie, we have to stay here. It's safer and we can see better from here," mom said. She gave Lily a hug and pointed to the sky. "Look, the show is about to start!" + +Ben and Lily looked up and saw the first firework shoot up and explode. It was red and gold and made a big boom. They clapped and cheered. Then more fireworks came, in different colors and shapes. They saw stars, flowers, hearts, and even a smiley face. They oohed and aahed. They felt happy and amazed. + +But then it started to rain. The raindrops were cold and wet. They soaked Ben and Lily's clothes and hats. They shivered and felt sad. + +"Can we go home, dad?" Ben asked. He wanted to be warm and dry. + +"Not yet, buddy, the show is not over. Let's enjoy it a little longer," dad said. He gave Ben a smile and opened an umbrella. He held it over Ben and Lily's heads. "Here, this will keep us dry. And look, the rain makes the fireworks even more beautiful. See how they sparkle and reflect in the puddles?" + +Ben and Lily looked again and saw that dad was right. The rain made the fireworks look like magic. They saw rainbows and glitter in the water. They felt cozy and curious. + +They watched the rest of the show under the umbrella. They forgot about the rain and the cold. They only saw the fireworks and heard the music. They felt peaceful and grateful. They thanked mom and dad for taking them to see the fireworks. They hugged and kissed them. They said it was the best night ever. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but they always wanted more. One day, their mom told them they would receive a big surprise if they were good and helped with chores. + +Lily and Max were very happy and impatient. They did their chores very fast and asked their mom, "Where is our surprise? Is it a new toy? Is it big or small?" + +Their mom smiled and said, "You will see soon. But first, you have to wait until after dinner. And you have to share your surprise with each other, okay?" + +Lily and Max nodded, but they were not very good at waiting. They kept looking at the clock and the door, hoping to see their surprise. They did not talk to each other or play with their old toys. They just wanted their new surprise. + +Finally, after dinner, their mom brought a big box into the living room. Lily and Max ran to the box and tore off the wrapping paper. Inside, they saw a beautiful dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. It was bigger than their old toys by many inches. + +Lily and Max gasped and reached for the dollhouse. But they both wanted the same things. Lily wanted the pink bedroom and the kitchen. Max wanted the blue bedroom and the garage. They started to pull and tug and shout, "This is mine! No, this is mine!" + +Their mom frowned and said, "Stop, stop! This is not how you receive a gift. You have to be thankful and kind. And you have to share your gift with each other. If you can't do that, I will take it away." + +Lily and Max looked at their mom and felt ashamed. They realized they had been greedy and rude. They said sorry to their mom and to each other. They decided to take turns playing with the dollhouse and to let each other choose their favorite rooms. They learned that sharing is more fun than fighting. + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I'm proud of you. You have learned a valuable lesson. Now, enjoy your surprise and play nicely together." + +Lily and Max nodded and smiled. They thanked their mom and gave her a kiss. They played with the dollhouse and had a lot of fun. They received a big surprise, but they also received a bigger lesson. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden.

Anna said. She did not like worms. She thought they were disgusting. She backed away from the rock and the hole. + +Ben laughed and chased Anna with the worm. Anna screamed and ran away. She bumped into their mom, who was watching them from the porch. + +"What are you two doing?" Mom asked. She saw the dirt on their clothes and faces, and the worm in Ben's hand. + +"We found a rock and worms!" Ben said proudly. + +Mom smiled, but she also looked a bit annoyed. "That's nice, but you are very dirty. You need to bathe before dinner. Come on, let's go inside." + +She took Ben's hand and led him to the bathroom. Anna followed them, glad to get away from the worm. She hoped there were no more worms in the garden. She liked rocks, but not worms. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the farm. The farm has many animals and plants. Tom and Anna like to feed the animals and water the plants. + +One day, they see a big hose. The hose can spray water. Tom and Anna think it is fun. They take the hose and spray water on the plants. The plants are happy. They grow big and green. + +"Look, Anna, the corn is lovely!" Tom says. He points to the corn. The corn has yellow ears. The ears have many seeds. The seeds are sweet and yummy. + +"Yes, Tom, the corn is lovely!" Anna says. She picks an ear of corn. She peels the husk. She bites the corn. It is crunchy and juicy. + +"Can I have some, Anna?" Tom asks. He is hungry too. + +"Sure, Tom, here you go!" Anna says. She gives Tom an ear of corn. They share the corn.

They hurt their arms and legs and heads. + +They reach the bottom of the hill. They are dirty and sore and sad. The bear is still on the hill. It is too big and heavy to follow them. It growls and snorts and goes away. + +Tom and Sam look at each other. They are glad they are alive. But they are also foolish. They should have listened to their moms and dads. They should have stayed away from the hill and the bear. + +They limp back to the town. They find their moms and dads. They hug them and say sorry. They promise to be good and smart and safe. They learn their lesson. They never go to the hill again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was brown and round and had white spots. + +"Wow, look at that mushroom!" Ben said. "It is so big and pretty. Can we pick it?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, we can't. That is not our mushroom. It belongs to the fairies. They live under the tree. If we take their mushroom, they will be angry." + +Ben did not believe in fairies. He thought Lily was silly. He wanted the mushroom for himself. He waited until Lily was not looking. Then he ran to the tree and grabbed the mushroom. He pulled it out of the ground. + +"Hey, stop!" Lily shouted. "You are stealing the fairies' mushroom! That is bad!" + +Ben did not listen. He ran away with the mushroom. He thought he was clever. He did not see the fairies hiding behind the leaves. They saw him take their mushroom.

He did not like the fairies. He did not like their acorns and pine cones. He did not like their noises and faces. He wished he had not taken their mushroom. He wished he had listened to Lily. + +He dropped the mushroom and ran back to Lily. He was sorry. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. You were right. The mushroom was not ordinary. It was the fairies' mushroom. I should not have stolen it. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily was kind. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But don't do it again. The fairies don't like it when we steal their things. They are very good at making trouble. Let's go and play somewhere else." + +They left the mushroom and the fairies alone. They went to play with their ball and their dog. They had fun. They learned their lesson. They never stole anything again. +Tommy loved elephants. He had many elephant toys and books.

Tommy wanted to meet Ellie. + +They waited in line for a long time. Tommy was getting tired and hungry. He asked his mom for a snack. His mom said they could have a snack after they met Ellie. She said it would be worth it. + +Finally, it was their turn. They walked up to Ellie. She was very big and beautiful. She had long ears and a long trunk. She looked at Tommy and his mom. She smiled. + +"Hello, Ellie," Tommy's mom said. "This is Tommy. He loves elephants. Can you say hello to him?" + +Ellie nodded. She lifted her trunk and made a loud noise. Tommy was scared. He hid behind his mom. + +"Ellie, that was very nice of you," Tommy's mom said. "But Tommy is shy. Can you do something else to make him happy?" + +Ellie nodded again. She lowered her trunk and reached for Tommy's toy. She wanted to play with it. Tommy was angry. He held his toy tight. He refused to give it to Ellie. + +"Ellie, that's Tommy's toy," Tommy's mom said. "He doesn't want to share it. Can you give it back to him?" + +Ellie shook her head. She pulled harder on the toy. Tommy pulled harder too. They had a tug-of-war. Tommy's mom tried to stop them. She was worried. + +"Ellie, please, let go of the toy," Tommy's mom said. "You have many toys of your own. Tommy only has this one. He loves it very much." + +Ellie did not listen. She wanted the toy. She was stubborn. She pulled harder and harder. Tommy pulled harder and harder. The toy ripped. Ellie got one part. Tommy got the other part. They both looked at the broken toy. They both felt sad. + +"Ellie, look what you did," Tommy's mom said. "You broke Tommy's toy. That was not nice.
