She was picturing herself as a princess, spinning in a beautiful dress. + +One day, the deaf prince and the little girl met. She introduced herself as a princess, and he invited her to a secret garden. + +They ran across the fields, imagining what they would do when they reached the garden. Inside, they saw the most beautiful flowers. They admired their colors and waited for them to open. + +When the sun went down, the prince and the princess hugged and said goodbye. He promised to take her to the secret garden again one day. +Once upon a time there was a shy boy. He was so shy that often he felt like he didn't fit in at all. He wanted to make friends but he was so scared to talk to them. + +One day, the boy decided to try something brave. He walked up to some kids playing in the park and asked if he could join them. He was so nervous but he told himself that he could do it. + +Amazingly, the kids said 'yes'! They loved playing with the shy boy and it made him smile. He soon found out that he fit in perfectly with his new friends. Everyone laughed and played together and the shy boy had fun. + +It was a happy day and the shy boy never felt more at home. He realized that everybody just wants to feel like they fit in and that made him feel less scared. The boy was very glad he had been brave enough to try something new. +Once upon a time, on a sunny day, there was a carpet. It was a very colourful carpet that laid in the middle of a room. + +One day a little girl came into the room and saw the carpet. She smiled and was ready to play! She started to fill the carpet with lots of different toys. She put dolls, cars, and blocks into the carpet. The little girl had so much fun playing with all of the toys. + +But then, something sad happened. The little girl dropped one of the toys, and it rolled under the carpet! She tried to get it, but it was too deep under the carpet and she couldn't reach it. She felt so helpless. + +The little girl started to cry and she couldn't stop. But then, an idea came to her. She called her mum to help. When the mum arrived, the little girl told her what happened and the mum knew exactly what to do. She carefully lifted the corners of the carpet, looked around, and eventually she found the toy. + +The little girl was so happy. She was thankful to her mum, who had helped save the day. +Once upon a time, there was a gentle bunny. He enjoyed hopping and bouncing around the garden. One day, he noticed something shiny and bright coming from inside the house. + +So he hopped up to the window to see what it was. Inside was a big box with a moving picture! It was a television. + +The bunny was so excited! He bounced up and down at the window, jumping as high as he could. + +When the people inside the house saw him, they were surprised but they were very kind. They opened the window and let the bunny in. + +The bunny and the people played together as the television moved. They laughed and smiled and had lots of fun! + +And ever since then, the bunny loves to watch the television whenever he can. He is always gentle and hopping and bouncing around the room. +Once there was a small girl. She was walking through a park when she saw a tube. It was lying on the ground, and she wanted to play with it. She hesitated for a moment, but then she slowly walked towards it. When she got close, she paused and looked around. She wanted to make sure no one was watching. Then she quickly grabbed the tube and held it tightly in her hands. + +The little girl was so happy. She held the tube up to her ear and could hear the wind whistling through it. She giggled with delight. She also noticed that the tube was small enough that she could carry it with her. She now had her own special toy! + +The little girl looked around the park and found a nice spot where she could sit down. She nervously glanced around one more time, and when she was sure no one was watching she sat down. She put the tube to her lips and blew. She heard a beautiful sound coming out of it. The little girl resumed her day, and she brought the tube with her everywhere she went. She felt so proud and happy! +Once upon a time there was a special girl. She was a very gifted girl. One day, her mom sent her to the store for spaghetti. She was so excited as she loved spaghetti. On her way there she saw a bird in the tree. She waved to it and said hello. + +When she finally arrived at the store, she ran over to the spaghetti aisle. She took a big box of spaghetti and gave it a big hug. Then she paid for the spaghetti and left the store with the box. + +On her way home, she thought about what she could do with the spaghetti. When she got home, she quickly ran to the kitchen and had her mom help her make her spaghetti. Together they cooked and soon the kitchen smelt delicious. + +When they were finished, they sent the spaghetti to all of their family. Everyone was so happy to get the gift of spaghetti. The gifted girl was so proud of her accomplishments. The end. +One day, a wealthy man went to the park. He brought a blanket to sit on. As he looked around, he noticed a long, dark shadow on the ground. He stood up, curious to see what it was. + +The sun was shining bright, but this shadow seemed to stretch far and wide. He stepped closer and saw that something was poking out of the shadow. It was a long, sharp stick! + +The man was intrigued and decided to pick it up. He touched it and found it was very sharp. This made him smile, and he placed it in his pocket. + +He went back to his blanket, wondering what he would do with the sharp stick. Suddenly, he had an idea. He took out the stick and started to carve shapes into the ground. + +First, he carved a tree with leaves and branches. Then, he carved a bird with wings and a beak. The man was so pleased with his work, and the shadows on the ground looked beautiful. + +The wealthy man smiled as he finished his creations, happy that he could use his sharp stick to bring such beauty to the park! +The sun shone brightly in the big sky. It was a new morning and the birds sang happily in the trees. + +A little girl named Daisy wanted to go outside and play. She was very impatient, so she quickly put on her shoes and ran outside. + +Daisy made her way to the big pond in the garden. She looked in and saw brightly coloured fish swimming. She scooped up some water and did a big splash! The water went everywhere! She was so excited that she had to do it again. Splash! Splash! Splash! + +The little girl laughed and giggled and splashed until the sun went in behind the clouds. Then it was time for Daisy go back inside for her lunch. She was definitely ready for a break. +Once upon a time there was a little boy. He was playing in the park. He saw a kite in the sky. It was very pretty, like a rainbow. + +The boy wanted to touch the kite, so he ran and ran to get it. But it was too high! + +Then he saw a small, little kite lying on the ground. The boy was so excited. He picked it up, moved his arms back and forth and soon he was flying the kite. It felt wonderful! + +The boy kept on flying the kite until he was hungry. Then he remembered his chewing gum. He opened the wrapper and put the gum in his mouth. He chewed his way and kept on playing with his little kite. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and pretend they were pilots. They had a big jet that made noises and lights. They took turns flying the jet and going on adventures. + +One day, Tim wanted to fly the jet for a long time. He did not want to share with Sam. He said, "This is my jet. I keep it. You can't play with it." Sam felt sad and angry. He said, "That's not fair. We always share. You are being mean." Tim did not listen. He flew the jet away from Sam and laughed. + +Sam ran after Tim and tried to get the jet back. They fought and pulled the jet. The jet broke in two pieces. Tim and Sam both cried. They had ruined their favorite toy. They wished they had been nice to each other. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken jet and the sad boys. She said, "What did you do? Why did you fight over the jet?" Tim and Sam told her what happened. They said they were sorry. Mom said, "I'm glad you are sorry, but you need to learn to be compassionate. Compassionate means you care about how others feel and you share what you have. If you had been compassionate, you would still have your jet and your friend." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you both, but you need to fix this. You can't keep the jet. You need to give it to someone who needs it more than you. Maybe you can find a charity that helps children who don't have toys. And you need to apologize to each other and make up. Friends are more important than toys." + +Tim and Sam nodded. They felt sorry for being selfish and mean. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to give their jet to a charity and find a new toy to play with together. They learned to be compassionate and share. They were happy again. +Lily liked to match her clothes. She had a pink dress, a pink hat, and pink shoes. She felt pretty in pink. She wanted to show her friend Mia her clothes. + +She went to Mia's house and knocked on the door. Mia opened the door and smiled. She saw Lily's clothes and said, "Wow, you look so nice! I like your pink clothes. They match." + +"Thank you, Mia. Do you want to play with me?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, let's play. Come in, Lily." Mia said. She took Lily's hand and led her to her room. + +Mia's room had many toys. Lily saw a doll with a delicate dress. It was white and had flowers on it. Lily liked the doll. She reached for it and said, "Can I play with this doll, Mia?" + +Mia nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. The dress is delicate. It can tear easily." + +Lily nodded and said, "I will be careful. I like the dress. It is pretty. It matches the doll's hair." + +Mia smiled and said, "Yes, it does. I like to match my clothes too. Look, I have a blue dress, a blue hat, and blue shoes. They match." + +Lily looked at Mia's clothes and said, "You look so nice too, Mia. I like your blue clothes. They match." + +Mia and Lily hugged and said, "We are friends. We like to match our clothes." They played with the dolls and had fun. They matched their clothes and their smiles. +Jenny and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make houses and cars and animals with their blocks and dolls. Jenny was very careful with her toys. She liked them to be neat and pretty. Ben was not so careful. He liked to make loud noises and knock things over. + +"Look at my house!" Jenny said, showing Ben her delicate tower of blocks. "It has a roof and a door and a window. Do you like it?" + +Ben shrugged. He did not think Jenny's house was fun. He wanted to play something else. He saw a big ball on the floor. He had an idea. + +"Watch this!" Ben said, grabbing the ball. He lifted it high over his head and threw it at Jenny's house. "Hurricane!" he shouted. + +The ball hit the tower of blocks and made it fall down. The blocks scattered everywhere. Jenny's house was gone. Jenny gasped. She felt sad and angry. She looked at Ben with tears in her eyes. + +"Why did you do that?" Jenny asked. "You ruined my house! That was not nice!" + +Ben laughed. He thought it was funny. He did not care about Jenny's feelings. He did not say sorry. + +"Come on, it was just a game!" Ben said. "Don't be a baby! It's just blocks!" + +Jenny did not want to play with Ben anymore. She picked up her dolls and went to her room. She closed the door behind her. She did not want to see Ben again. + +The moral of the story is: You should be respectful of other people's things and feelings. You should not destroy what they have made or hurt their emotions. You should say sorry if you make a mistake or hurt someone. You should be a good friend and share and play nicely. +Jill and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for treasure. Sometimes they found shells, rocks, or coins. They put them in a bucket and pretended they were pirates. + +One day, they dug deeper than usual and found something shiny. It was a ring with a big, sparkly stone. "Wow, look at this!" Jill said. "It's a diamond!" + +Ben took the ring and tried to put it on his finger. But it was too tight. It hurt his finger and he could not take it off. "Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "Help me, Jill!" + +Jill tried to pull the ring off, but it was stuck. She looked around and saw a lady walking her dog. She ran to her and asked for help. "Excuse me, miss, can you help us? My friend has a ring on his finger and it won't come off." + +The lady looked at the ring and gasped. "That's my ring! I lost it here yesterday. It's very valuable. It was a surprise gift from my husband. How did you find it?" + +Jill and Ben told her how they were digging in the sand and found the ring. They were sorry for taking it, but they did not know it was hers. The lady was very kind and thanked them for finding it. She used some soap and water to loosen the ring and slid it off Ben's finger. He was relieved and happy. + +The lady gave them a hug and a reward. She gave them some candy and a toy each. She said they were very honest and brave. Jill and Ben smiled and said they were glad to help. They learned that sometimes a surprise can be good or bad, but it is always important to be nice and tell the truth. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a best friend, Mia, who liked to play with her too. One day, they were having a tea party with their dolls, when Mia saw a shiny necklace on Lily's dresser. + +"Wow, what a pretty necklace!" Mia said. "Can I try it on?" + +Lily hesitated. The necklace was a gift from her grandma, who told her to take good care of it. But she did not want to hurt Mia's feelings. "Okay, but only for a little while," she said. + +Mia put on the necklace and admired herself in the mirror. She felt like a princess. She forgot about the tea party and the dolls. She wanted to keep the necklace for herself. + +She made up an excuse to go home. "I have to go, Lily. My mom is calling me. Bye!" She ran out of the door, with the necklace still around her neck. + +Lily was sad and confused. She did not understand why Mia left so suddenly. She looked for the necklace, but could not find it. She realized that Mia had taken it. She felt angry and betrayed. She decided not to talk to Mia ever again. + +The next day, Mia felt guilty. She knew she had done a bad thing. She wanted to give the necklace back to Lily, but she was afraid that Lily would hate her. She did not know how to say sorry. + +She saw Lily at the playground, but Lily ignored her. She tried to talk to her, but Lily turned away. She felt lonely and sorry. + +She gathered her courage and walked up to Lily. She held out the necklace in her hand. "Lily, I'm sorry. I took your necklace. It was wrong. I should not have done it. Please forgive me." + +Lily looked at Mia. She saw the truth in her eyes. She saw that Mia was sorry. She remembered that Mia was her best friend. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. + +She took the necklace and put it on. She smiled at Mia. "It's okay, Mia. I forgive you. You are still my best friend. But don't do it again, okay?" + +Mia nodded. She hugged Lily. "Thank you, Lily. I won't do it again. I promise." + +They went back to the playground and played together. They were happy again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They were very jolly. + +Lily saw a bee on a rose. She wanted to touch it. She thought it was pretty and fuzzy. She reached out her hand slowly. + +Ben saw Lily and the bee. He knew bees could sting. He was scared for Lily. He said, "No, Lily, no! The bee can hurt you! Come away!" + +Lily looked at Ben. She did not understand. She liked the bee. She shrugged. She said, "Why? The bee is nice. It makes honey. It does not want to hurt me." + +The bee heard Lily and Ben. It did not like their noise. It felt angry and scared. It flew at Lily and stung her hand. Lily cried out loud. She dropped the rose. She felt pain and shock. + +Ben ran to Lily. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. The bee was not nice. It was mean. It stung you. Let me see your hand. We will get some ice and a band-aid. You will be okay." + +Lily nodded. She sniffed and wiped her tears. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I don't like bees anymore. They are not pretty and fuzzy. They are bad and ouchy." + +Ben smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a brave sister. I still like bees, but only from far away. They are good for the flowers and the honey, but not for us. Come on, let's go inside and tell Mommy what happened." +Anna liked to guess how big things were. She had a measure that her dad gave her. It was a green tape with numbers on it. She used it to measure her toys, her bed, her books and her cat. She liked to say the numbers out loud and see if she was right. + +One day, she wanted to measure something new. She saw a big box in the living room. It had a bow on it and a tag that said "For Anna". She wondered what was inside. She thought it was a birthday present, but her birthday was not today. She decided to measure the box and guess what it was. + +She took her measure and wrapped it around the box. She saw the number 100. She thought that was very big. She tried to guess what could fit in a 100 measure box. She thought maybe it was a bike, or a dollhouse, or a giant teddy bear. She was very excited. + +She ran to find her mom and dad. She wanted to ask them if she could open the box. She found them in the kitchen. They were smiling and holding a cake. It had candles on it and said "Happy Birthday Anna". Anna was confused. She said "But my birthday is not today". + +Her mom and dad laughed. They said "We know, sweetie. But we have a surprise for you. We are going on a trip tomorrow. We are going to visit your grandma and grandpa. They live very far away. So we decided to celebrate your birthday today. And the box is your present. Do you want to open it?" + +Anna was very happy. She loved her grandma and grandpa. She hugged her mom and dad and said "Thank you". She ran to the living room and opened the box. Inside was a green suitcase. It had wheels and a handle and a sticker that said "Anna". It was the perfect size for her measure. She guessed it was 100 measure. She was right. + +She opened the suitcase and saw some clothes, some books, some toys and her cat. Her cat was wearing a bow and a tag that said "Meow". Anna laughed. She said "You are coming with me, kitty". She put the cat on her lap and closed the suitcase. She said "I can't wait to see grandma and grandpa. And I love my green suitcase. It is the best present ever". +Tom and Anna like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to race them on the floor and make loud noises. + +One day, Tom finds a new car in his toy box. It is shiny and red and has a big engine. Tom thinks it is the most powerful car he has ever seen. He wants to show it to Anna and make her jealous. + +He runs to Anna's room with the car in his hand. He knocks on the door and says, "Anna, look at my new car! It is so powerful and fast! You don't have a car like this!" + +Anna opens the door and sees Tom's car. She is not impressed. She says, "That car is not new. It is old and dirty. You just polished it with a cloth. I can see the scratches and the dust. My car is better than yours. It is pink and sparkly and has a horn. It is the prettiest car in the world!" + +Tom feels angry and sad. He says, "No, your car is not better. It is silly and girly and has a weak horn. My car is the best car in the world!" + +They start to argue and shout. They do not want to play together anymore. + +Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them holding their cars and frowning. She says, "Why are you fighting, Tom and Anna? You both have nice cars. You should share them and play nicely. Why don't you take them outside and have a race? You can use the steps as a ramp and see which car goes faster and farther. That sounds like fun, doesn't it?" + +Tom and Anna think for a moment. They like the idea of racing their cars. They say, "Okay, mom. We will try that. Maybe we can both win." + +They smile and hug each other. They take their cars outside and have a race. They have fun and forget their fight. They learn that it is better to be friends than to be jealous. +One day, a zebra and a lion were friends. They liked to play and run in the grass. The zebra had black and white stripes, and the lion had a big mane and a loud roar. + +"Zebra, you are my best friend," the lion said.

But I will always remember you and our games," the lion said. "You are my best friend, and I will miss you too." + +They hugged and said goodbye. The lion got on a big truck with his family, and the zebra watched him go. The zebra felt lonely and sad. + +But after a while, the zebra made new friends. He met a giraffe, an elephant, and a monkey. They were nice and funny and they liked to play and run in the grass too. The zebra had fun with them, and he felt happy again. + +Sometimes, he still thought of the lion, and he hoped he was happy too. He knew that the lion was still his friend, even if he was far away. And he knew that the lion would always remember him too. +Tom and Lily were young twins who liked to play with their toys. But they also liked to fight over their toys. They had many toys, but they always wanted the same one. They were spoiled by their mom and dad, who gave them everything they asked for. + +One day, they saw a new toy in the store. It was a big red truck with lights and sounds. They both wanted it very much. They begged their mom and dad to buy it for them. Their mom and dad said yes, but they said they had to share it. Tom and Lily agreed, but they did not mean it. + +When they got home, they ran to their room with the truck. They both grabbed it and pulled it. They shouted at each other. + +"It's mine! I saw it first!" Tom said. + +"No, it's mine! I asked for it first!" Lily said. + +They fought and fought, until the truck broke in half. They both cried and dropped the pieces. Their mom and dad heard the noise and came to their room. They saw the broken truck and the sad twins. + +"What happened here?" their mom asked. + +"We fought over the truck and it broke," Tom said. + +"We're sorry, mom and dad," Lily said. + +Their mom and dad were not happy. They took away the pieces and said they had to learn to share and be nice. They said they would not buy them any more toys until they did. Tom and Lily felt bad. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They decided to play with their old toys and share them. They learned their lesson. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to bounce.

They ran to the bus and got in. They did not tell their moms. They were very excited. + +But the bus did not go to the animals. It went to a far place, where there were no animals, only big buildings and noisy cars. The bus driver did not know they were in the bus. He locked the bus and went away. Lily and Ben were scared.

They were very sorry. + +They cried and cried, until a police officer heard them. He opened the bus and asked them who they were and where they came from. He was angry and said they were very naughty. He took them to the police station and called their moms. Their moms were very worried and very mad. They came to the police station and hugged them and scolded them. They said they would never bounce again. Lily and Ben were very sorry. They had a bad day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the pool. They liked to splash and swim and have fun. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Lily said. + +They climbed up the stairs and waited for their turn. Tom went first. He sat on the slide and pushed himself down. He went very fast and made a big splash. He dived under the water and came up smiling. + +"That was fun!" he said. + +Lily nodded and followed him. She sat on the slide and pushed herself down. She went very fast and made a big splash. She dived under the water and came up screaming. + +"Help! Help!" she said. + +Tom looked at her and saw something on her head. It was a big hat with a point. It was black and had a buckle.

They are happy. +Lily and her mom were going to the airport. They wanted to fly to see grandma. Lily was very happy. She packed her teddy bear and her book in her backpack. + +"Mom, can you help me tie my shoes?" Lily asked. She did not know how to tie the laces by herself. + +"Sure, honey. Here, let me show you. You make two loops, like bunny ears. Then you cross them over and pull them tight. See?" Mom said, as she tied Lily's shoes. + +"Wow, that's cool! Can I try?" Lily said. She wanted to learn how to tie her shoes. + +"Of course, you can. Here, take this lace and make a loop. Good. Now, make another loop. Very good. Now, cross them over and pull them tight. You did it!"

It beeped. + +"Mom, what's that?" Lily asked, as she looked at the door. + +"That's a scanner. It checks if we have anything bad in our pockets or backpacks." Mom said, as she explained to Lily. + +"Oh, I see. Do I have anything bad in my backpack?" Lily asked, as she opened her backpack. + +"No, you don't. You only have your teddy bear and your book. They are good things." Mom said, as she smiled at Lily. + +"OK, good. Can I keep them with me?" Lily asked, as she hugged her teddy bear. + +"Yes, you can. They are your carry-on. You can take them on the plane with you." Mom said, as she took Lily's hand and walked to the plane. + +They boarded the plane and found their seats. They buckled their seatbelts and waited for the plane to take off. + +"Mom, are you hungry?" Lily asked, as she looked at the snacks on the tray. + +"A little bit. Do you want something to eat?" Mom asked, as she looked at the snacks too. + +"Yes, please. Can I have a cookie?" Lily asked, as she pointed to a chocolate chip cookie. + +"Sure, you can. Here you go. Do you want some juice too?" Mom asked, as she gave Lily a cookie. + +"Yes, please. Thank you, mom." Lily said, as she took the juice. + +They ate their snacks and enjoyed the view from the window. They saw clouds and mountains and rivers. + +"Mom, this is fun. I like flying." Lily said, as she smiled. + +"Me too, honey. I'm glad you like it. We'll be there soon. Then we'll see grandma. She'll be so happy to see you." Mom said, as she hugged Lily. + +"I can't wait to see grandma. I love her. I love you too, mom." Lily said, as she hugged mom back. + +They flew for a while. Then they heard a voice. + +"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now approaching our destination. Please prepare for landing. Thank you for flying with us." The voice said. + +"Mom, what did he say?" Lily asked, as she heard the voice. + +"He said we are almost there. We have to land soon. That means the plane will go down and touch the ground." Mom said, as she explained to Lily. + +"Oh, OK. Will it hurt?" Lily asked, as she felt nervous. + +"No, it won't hurt. It will be a little bumpy, but it will be OK. Just hold my hand and stay calm." Mom said, as she comforted Lily. + +"OK, mom. I'll hold your hand and stay calm." Lily said, as she held mom's hand and stayed calm. + +The plane landed. It was a little bumpy, but it was OK. Lily and mom clapped and cheered. + +"Yay, we did it! We landed!" Lily said, as she was happy. + +"Yes, we did. We did great. Now, let's get our +Lily and Tom were playing with scissors and paper. They liked to cut shapes and make pictures. Lily had a big frame that she found in the trash. It was black and shiny. She wanted to put her picture in the frame. + +"Look, Tom, I made a flower!" Lily said, holding up her paper. "I will put it in the frame. It will be pretty." + +Tom looked at Lily's flower. He was jealous. He wanted the frame for his picture. He had made a car. He thought his car was better than Lily's flower. + +"No, Lily, you can't have the frame. It is mine!" Tom said, grabbing the frame. "I will put my car in the frame. It will be cool." + +Lily was angry. She did not want to give up the frame. She tried to pull the frame back. Tom and Lily fought over the frame. They did not see the scissors on the floor. + +The frame broke. The glass cut Lily and Tom. They cried. They were hurt. They saw blood. They were scared. + +Mom heard the noise. She ran to the room. She saw Lily and Tom on the floor. She saw the broken frame and the scissors. She saw the blood. She was mad. + +"What did you do?" Mom yelled. "You are naughty! You are not supposed to play with scissors and glass! You could have died!" + +Mom took Lily and Tom to the hospital. They had stitches. They were in pain. They were sorry. They lost the frame and their pictures. They learned a lesson. +Lily loves her doll. Her doll has a blue dress and blue eyes. Lily takes her doll everywhere. She hugs her doll and talks to her doll. + +One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big slide. She wants to go on the slide. But she also wants to hold her doll. She does not know what to do. + +She decides to ask her mom. She says, "Mom, can I go on the slide with my doll?" Her mom says, "You can, but be careful. The slide is fast and your doll might fall." + +Lily thinks for a moment. She does not want her doll to fall. She loves her doll. She decides to put her doll on a bench. She says, "Doll, you wait here. I will go on the slide and come back soon." + +She gives her doll a kiss and runs to the slide. She climbs up the ladder and slides down. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs and has fun. + +She goes on the slide again and again. Then she remembers her doll. She runs back to the bench. She sees her doll sitting there. She picks up her doll and hugs her. She says, "Doll, I missed you. Did you have fun too?" + +Her doll smiles and nods. Lily is happy. She decides to go on the swing with her doll. She and her doll have a great day at the park. +Sam and Mia were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look at my tower!" Sam said. "It is very big and tall!" + +Mia looked at Sam's tower. She wanted to have a big tower too. She saw some blocks that Sam was not using. She reached for them. + +"Hey, those are my blocks!" Sam said. "You can't take them!" + +"Yes, I can!" Mia said. "You have too many blocks!" + +They started to argue. They pulled and pushed the blocks. Sam pushed Mia's hand. Mia pushed Sam's tower. The tower fell down and the blocks went everywhere. + +"Uh-oh!" Sam and Mia said. + +Mom heard the noise. She came to see what happened. She saw the mess and the angry faces. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asked. + +"Sam pushed me!" Mia said. + +"Mia pushed my tower!" Sam said. + +Mom was not happy. She made them sit on the couch. + +"You need to share and be nice to each other," Mom said. "Pushing and fighting is not good. It makes you and others sad. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Mia nodded. They felt sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Mia said. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Sam said. + +They hugged and said they were friends. + +Mom smiled. She gave them a treat. It was a cookie with chocolate chips. + +"Here you go," Mom said. "This is for being good and saying sorry. Now you can play again, but remember to share and be nice." + +Sam and Mia thanked Mom. They ate their cookies. They felt happy. + +They went back to their blocks. They decided to build a tower together. They used all the blocks. They made the biggest tower ever. + +"Wow, this is awesome!" Sam said. + +"Yes, it is!" Mia said. + +They high-fived and laughed. + +They learned that sharing and being nice is better than pushing and fighting. They had more fun and more treats. They were tired but happy. +Lily and Max were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They made a big road with stones and sticks. They zoomed their cars along the road and had fun. + +Ben saw them from his window. He wanted to play with them, but he was not allowed to go outside. He was sick and had to stay in bed. He felt jealous of Lily and Max. He wished he had a toy car too. + +He called his mom and asked her if he could have a toy car. His mom said no, he had enough toys already. She said he had to eat his vegetable soup first. He did not like vegetable soup. He made a face and said he was not hungry. + +His mom said he had to eat something to get better. She said if he ate his soup, he could join Lily and Max later. She said they would be happy to see him. She said they would share their toy cars with him. + +Ben thought about it. He wanted to join his friends. He wanted to play with the toy cars. He decided to eat his soup. He took a spoon and tasted it. It was not so bad. He ate some more. He finished his bowl. + +His mom smiled and said he was a good boy. She said he could go outside now, but he had to wear his jacket. She said he had to be careful not to get cold. She said she loved him. + +Ben said he loved her too. He put on his jacket and ran outside. He saw Lily and Max. They waved at him and said hello. They asked him if he wanted to play with them. He said yes. They gave him a toy car. He thanked them. He joined them on the road. They zoomed their cars together and had fun. He was not jealous anymore. He was happy. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of plastic animals, cars, and blocks. Lily liked to measure how long and tall her toys were with a ruler. She said, "Look, Tom, this giraffe is very tall. It is 12 inches. How tall is your car?" + +Tom did not have a ruler. He felt sad. He said, "I don't know, Lily. I can't measure my car. I wish I had a ruler like you." + +Lily saw that Tom was sad. She wanted to make him happy. She said, "Don't be sad, Tom. You can use my ruler. We can share. Here, let me help you measure your car." + +Lily gave Tom her ruler and helped him measure his car. Tom smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. My car is 6 inches. It is not as tall as your giraffe, but it is very fast. Do you want to race with me?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, Tom. That sounds fun. Let's race with our toys. Ready, set, go!" + +Lily and Tom raced with their toys across the floor. They laughed and had fun. They did not care who won. They were happy to play and share with each other. +Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy ships. They had many ships of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them sail on the carpet or in the bathtub. Sometimes they pretended they were pirates or explorers. + +One day, they decided to have a race with their ships. They put them on the floor and pushed them with their hands. They wanted to see whose ship was faster and better. They were very competitive and did not want to lose. + +Ben had a big red ship that was very strong and heavy. Mia had a small blue ship that was very light and fast. They pushed their ships as hard as they could. The ships zoomed across the floor. Mia's ship was ahead of Ben's ship. Ben was not happy. He wanted to win. + +He had an idea. He lifted his ship with his hand and threw it in the air. He hoped it would fly over Mia's ship and land in front of it. He thought he was very clever. But he was not. + +His ship did not fly very far. It fell down and hit Mia's ship. Both ships crashed and broke into pieces. Ben and Mia were shocked and sad. They looked at their broken ships and cried. They wished they had not been so competitive. They wished they had played nicely. They learned a lesson. They hugged and said sorry. They decided to share their other ships and play together. They were friends again. +Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the farm. They liked to see the cows, the pigs and the chickens. They also liked to eat corn. Corn was sweet and yellow. + +One day, they saw a big basket of corn near the barn. They wanted to take some corn and eat it. But they did not ask the farmer. They were naughty. + +"Let's take some corn and run away," Tom said. + +"OK, but be quick," Sue said. + +They took some corn and ran away. They did not see the farmer watching them. The farmer was angry. He worked hard to grow the corn. He wanted to sell the corn and get money. He did not like the children stealing his corn. + +The farmer followed the children. He caught them near the fence. He took the corn from them. He scolded them. + +"You are bad children. You stole my corn. You did not pay for it. You have to pay for it now.

He felt sorry for them. He decided to be kind. + +"OK, I will not take your toys. But you have to promise me. You have to be good children. You have to ask before you take anything. You have to pay for what you take. Do you understand?" he said. + +Tom and Sue nodded. They understood. They thanked the farmer. They gave him a hug. They learned a lesson. They went home with their toys. They did not steal again. +Mia liked to play in the garden with her friends. She liked to look for bugs and flowers and rocks. One day, she found a big black beetle under a leaf. She picked it up and showed it to her friends. They said it was cool and shiny. + +Mia wanted to keep the beetle as a pet. She put it in a jar with some grass and a stick. She made a hole in the lid so it could breathe. She named it Buzzy. She promised to take good care of it and feed it every day. + +But Buzzy was not happy in the jar. He was restless and bored. He wanted to crawl and fly and explore. He banged on the glass and tried to escape. He did not like the grass and the stick. He missed his home and his friends. + +Mia saw that Buzzy was sad. She felt sorry for him. She realized that he was not a toy, but a living thing. She decided to let him go. She took the jar to the garden and opened the lid. She said goodbye to Buzzy and thanked him for being her friend. + +Buzzy was happy to be free. He flew out of the jar and landed on a flower. He saw his friends and joined them. He waved his antennae at Mia and smiled. He was glad that she was kind and brave. He hoped that she would find another pet that would make her happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy ship in the bathtub. They liked to pretend they were pirates and explore the sea. Lily was the captain and Ben was the first mate. + +"Look, Ben, there is a big storm ahead!" Lily said, pointing to the bubbles. "We have to twist the wheel and steer the ship away from the rocks!" + +Ben nodded and grabbed the wheel. He twisted it hard, but the ship did not move. The bubbles pushed the ship closer to the rocks. + +"Oh no, we are going to crash!" Ben cried. "What do we do, captain?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She remembered what her mom had told her once. "Sometimes, when things are hard, we have to ask for help. Maybe there is someone who can help us." + +She looked around and saw a rubber duck floating nearby. She waved to the duck and said, "Hello, duck, can you please help us? Our ship is stuck and we can't get away from the rocks." + +The duck heard Lily and swam over to the ship. He saw the problem and said, "Don't worry, I can help you. I can push your ship with my beak and move it away from the rocks. But you have to promise me something." + +"What is it, duck?" Lily asked. + +"You have to promise me that you will be humble and kind to everyone you meet on the sea. You can't be mean or greedy like some pirates. You have to share and care for others." + +Lily and Ben agreed. They said, "We promise, duck, we will be humble and kind. Thank you for helping us." + +The duck smiled and pushed the ship with his beak. He moved it away from the rocks and into the clear water. Lily and Ben cheered and thanked the duck again. + +They learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned that sometimes they need help from others, and that they should be humble and kind to everyone they meet. They also learned that ducks are very helpful and friendly. They decided to make the duck their new friend and invited him to join their pirate adventures. The duck agreed and they all had fun together. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with fire. They found a box of matches in the kitchen and took it to their room. They lit one match and watched the flame grow. They felt excited and curious. + +"Look, Lily, the flame is so bright and warm!" Ben said. + +"Let me try, Ben, let me try!" Lily said. She took the match from Ben and raised it high. She wanted to see the flame better. + +But she raised it too high and touched the curtain. The curtain caught fire and started to burn. Lily and Ben screamed and dropped the match. They ran out of the room and called for their mom. + +Mom came and saw the fire. She grabbed a bucket of water and threw it on the curtain. She put out the fire and saved the room. She was angry and scared. + +"Lily and Ben, what have you done? You could have burned the house and hurt yourselves! Fire is not a toy, it is dangerous! You should never play with matches!" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They said they would never play with fire again. They were grateful that their mom was brave and smart. They learned their lesson. + +Mom forgave them and hugged them back. She said she loved them and was glad they were safe. She said they should always be careful and listen to her. She taught them how to be safe around fire. They thanked her and said they loved her too. They were happy. +Tim and Jen are best friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red apples. They want to pick some apples and eat them. + +"Look, Jen, there are so many apples!" Tim says. "Let's get some!" + +"How can we get them?" Jen asks. "They are too high!" + +Tim has an idea. He sees a long stick on the ground. He picks it up and says, "I can use this stick to shake the tree. Then the apples will fall down." + +"Good idea, Tim!" Jen says. "But be careful!" + +Tim nods and walks to the tree. He lifts the stick and hits the tree with it. He hits it hard and fast. He hopes to shake the tree and make the apples fall. + +But something else happens. The stick breaks in half. One part falls to the ground. The other part flies back and hits Tim's arm. Tim feels a sharp pain. He drops the stick and cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim says. "My arm hurts!" + +Jen runs to Tim and hugs him. She sees a big bruise on his arm. She feels sorry for him. + +"I'm sorry, Tim!" Jen says. "Are you okay?" + +Tim shakes his head. He is not okay. He is sad and angry. He wanted to get some apples, but he got hurt instead. He is not successful. + +"It's okay, Jen," Tim says. "It's not your fault. It was a bad stick." + +Jen smiles and says, "Don't worry, Tim. We can still get some apples. Look, there is a nice man with a basket. He is giving apples to the kids. Maybe he will give us some, too." + +Tim looks and sees the man. He is wearing a hat and a smile. He has a lot of apples in his basket. He is giving them to the kids who say thank you. + +"Let's go, Jen," Tim says. "Maybe he will give us some apples, too." + +They walk to the man and say hello. The man sees Tim's bruise and says, "Oh, what happened to your arm, little boy?" + +Tim tells him what happened. He says he tried to shake the tree with a stick, but the stick broke and hit his arm. + +The man says, "That's too bad. You were very brave, but you were unlucky. Here, have an apple. It will make you feel better." + +He gives Tim a big red apple. He also gives Jen an apple. They say thank you and smile. + +The man says, "You're welcome. Enjoy your apples.

They are successful. +Tom and Sue are playing in the yard. They have a bucket and a bell. Tom fills the bucket with water from the hose. Sue holds the bell and rings it loud. + +"Ring, ring, ring!" Sue says. "I am a fire truck. I go to put out the fire." + +Tom runs after her with the bucket. He pretends to be a firefighter. He says, "Where is the fire, Sue? I have water to stop it." + +Sue points to a big tree. She says, "There is the fire, Tom. It is on the top of the tree. Hurry, hurry, hurry!" + +Tom throws the water at the tree. But he misses. The water lands on a bee hive. The bees are angry. They fly out of the hive and buzz around Tom and Sue. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom and Sue say. "The bees are stinging us. They are bitter and mean. Run, run, run!" + +Tom and Sue drop the bucket and the bell. They run to the house. They cry for their mom. Mom comes and hugs them. She puts ice on their stings. She says, "I am sorry, Tom and Sue.

He came to the porch and said to their uncle, "Your grill is too loud and too smoky. It bothers me. You should stop it." He said it in a mean way. + +Their uncle was nice. He said to the man, "I'm sorry, neighbor. I didn't mean to bother you. I'm just making some food for my family. We'll be done soon. Do you want some?" He said it in a friendly way. + +But the man was still rude. He said to their uncle, "No, I don't want some. I want you to stop. Or I'll call the police." He said it in a loud way. + +Anna and Ben were scared. They didn't like the man. They thought he was mean. They hugged their uncle and said, "Don't worry, uncle. We like your food. We like your grill. We like you." They said it in a sweet way. + +Their aunt came to the porch. She saw the man. She was angry. She said to the man, "Go away, neighbor. You are rude. You are not nice. You have no manners. You have no friends. We don't like you." She said it in a strong way. + +The man was surprised. He didn't expect that. He didn't know what to say. He turned around and walked away. He looked sad and lonely. + +Anna and Ben cheered. They liked their aunt. They thought she was brave. They thanked her and said, "You are awesome, aunt. You are nice. You have manners. You have friends. We love you." They said it in a happy way. + +Their aunt smiled and hugged them. She said, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. You are awesome too.

He hurt your feelings and your art." + +Lila said, "Can we restore my paintings, mom? Can we fix them?" Mom said, "I don't know, Lila. They are very damaged. Maybe we can glue some of them together, but they won't look the same. Maybe you can make new ones, better ones. You have a lot of talent and imagination." + +Lila said, "But I liked my old ones. They were special. They were my landscape." Mom said, "I know, Lila. But sometimes things break and we can't restore them. We have to let them go and move on. We have to forgive and forget. Maybe Tom will say sorry and learn his lesson. Maybe he will be nicer to you. Maybe he will appreciate your paintings. But you can't let him ruin your joy. You can still paint and create. You can still love the landscape. You can still be happy." + +Lila thought about what mom said. She wiped her tears and smiled. She said, "You're right, mom. I can still paint and create. I can still love the landscape. I can still be happy. Thank you, mom. You're the best." Mom said, "You're welcome, Lila. You're the best, too. Now, let's go and get some new paper and colors.

Move on and create. Love the landscape. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a big worm and put it in a jar. + +"Look, we have a pet worm!" Ben said. + +"Let's name it Wiggly," Lily said. + +They took the jar inside and showed it to Mom. Mom smiled and said, "That's a nice worm, but you can't keep it in the jar. It needs to go back to the dirt." + +"Why?" Ben asked. + +"Because worms breathe through their skin, and they need moisture and air. The jar is too dry and tight for them," Mom explained. + +"Oh, poor Wiggly," Lily said. "We don't want to hurt him." + +Mom took the jar and opened the lid. She poured some water on the worm and said, "Let's wash him a little, so he can be clean and happy." + +The worm wriggled and squirmed in the water. Ben and Lily laughed and said, "He likes the water! He's a silly worm!" + +Mom said, "Yes, he is. Now let's take him outside and put him back in the dirt, where he belongs." + +Ben and Lily agreed. They followed Mom to the garden and gently placed the worm in a hole. They said goodbye to Wiggly and thanked him for being their friend. + +"Maybe we'll see him again someday," Ben said. + +"Maybe he'll have more worm friends," Lily said. + +They waved to the worm and went back to their play. They had fun with their pet worm, but they also learned to respect his needs. +Tom and Sue 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 very friendly. He comes to Tom and Sue and wags his tail. + +"Hello, dog," Tom says. "What is your name?" + +The dog does not speak. He only barks. Tom and Sue laugh. They pet the dog and scratch his ears. + +"You are a good dog," Sue says. "Do you want a treat?" + +Sue has a cookie in her pocket. She breaks it in half and gives one piece to the dog. The dog eats it quickly. He likes the cookie. It is sweet and crunchy. + +"Thank you, Sue," the dog barks.

He has a ball in his mouth. He drops it on the ground. Tom picks it up and throws it far away. The dog runs after it. He is fast and strong. He catches the ball and brings it back to Tom. + +"Wow, dog, you are good at this game," Tom says. "You have a lot of weight, but you are not slow." + +The dog barks. He is proud. He likes to play with Tom and Sue. They are good friends. They play with the dog until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to the dog and hug him. + +"Bye, dog," Tom and Sue say.

They do not want to swing high anymore. +One day, a boy named Leo and a girl named Mia went to the space museum with their mom. They saw many things that made them wonder and ask questions. They saw a big ball that looked like the sun, and many smaller balls that looked like the moon, but had different colors and shapes. Mom said those were planets, and they were very far away. + +"Can we go to a planet, mom?" Leo asked. + +"Maybe one day, when you are older and have a spaceship," mom said. + +"I want to go to the red planet. It looks hot and fun," Mia said. + +"That's Mars, the fourth planet from the sun. It is very cold and dry, not hot and fun. And it has fierce dust storms that can blow very hard," mom said. + +"What are dust storms?" Leo asked. + +"They are like big clouds of dirt and sand that move very fast and can cover everything. They can make it hard to see and breathe," mom said. + +"That sounds scary. I don't want to go to Mars anymore," Mia said. + +"Me neither. Let's go to the blue planet. It looks nice and calm," Leo said. + +"That's Earth, our home planet. It is the third planet from the sun, and it has water and air and life. It is the only planet we know that can serve us and other living things," mom said. + +"I like Earth. It is the best planet," Mia said. + +"Me too. It is the most beautiful planet," Leo said. + +They hugged mom and thanked her for taking them to the space museum. They learned a lot and had fun. They were happy to live on Earth, the blue planet that served them well. +Mia and Leo were playing on the shore. They liked to make sand castles and dig holes.

He looked at the daisy and then at Lily, who was still crying. He felt a little sorry for her too. He wagged his tail and nodded. He gave the daisy to Tom and followed him to Lily.

Now we have to clean up the mess and waste the milk." + +Sara and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We wanted to help you, but we didn't know how to stir the milk properly. Can you teach us how to stir the milk politely?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, I can teach you. Come, let me show you how to hold the spoon and move it in the jug.

"What does feeling better have to do with a lemon?" he asked. Daisy explained that relaxing is like squeezing the juice out of a lemon.

Bob smiled and nodded, and then ran off to his bedroom for a good night's sleep. +One day there was a 3 year old girl. She wanted to go for a walk in the park. She asked her parents to go, but they said no. She was sad, but her mom encouraged her not to give up. She had an idea. She asked her mom if she could bring a cone. Her mom said yes, and got her a useful cone from the kitchen. + +The girl couldn't wait to go for the walk. She put on her shoes and grabbed the cone. She was so excited about her new plan. She started walking around the park. Whenever she saw a bird, she threw the cone towards it. The bird would fly away and the girl would laugh. + +Her mom was very proud of her. She encouraged her to keep trying and never give up. The girl continued to practice throwing the cone and soon she was able to hit the birds more accurately. +Once upon a time there was a little bunny called John. He was furry and very, very fast. One day, he was running around his garden and passed by a big top. He was very curious and wanted to record how fast he could run around it. He asked his mom if he could do it. She said yes! + +So John was off again, this time he was recording himself on his mom's phone! He ran around the top again and again, eager to have it on record. After a few attempts, he was able to run the fastest he had ever run. All of a sudden, his mom shouted out of joy. She had recorded his victory! + +The next day, everyone was so proud of John. They had watched the recording over and over again, cheering and clapping to his success.

The farmer was happy to see the horse safe and the horse was happy to be back in the green field. The horse hopped around happily ever after. +Once upon a time, there was a little bird who loved to soar in the sky. Every day, she looked down on the world and dreamed of what it would be like to fly around the world. Every morning, the little bird soared up higher in the sky and thought of where she wanted to go. She admired the world below her and she wanted to explore all of it. + +One day, the little bird decided to go on a grand adventure. She was brave and decided to go to a nearby farm. When she arrived, she saw a lively squash patch. The squash were so colorful and inviting. The little bird sprung into action and scooped some of the squash off the vines. + +After a few minutes of gathering the squash, the little bird continued her journey. She flew with the squash all over the farm and admired the world from above. It was so peaceful and calming. As she flew around, she was excited to see what else the world had to offer. + +The little bird then took all the squash and soared off into the sky. Making her way across the world, she saw many different sights. She enjoyed the adventure and was so happy to be exploring the world. + +The little bird eventually ended her journey with a river of squash flowing behind her. She enjoyed the adventure and it taught her many things. She was able to explore the world and learn more about it. She also gained a greater appreciation of the lively squash she collected +John loved to build things. Every day he would get his supplies out of the box and make something new. He had piles of blocks of many shapes and sizes and loved to see what he could build with them. + +Today, he wanted to build something safe. He thought of a new idea and started to build. As he began to build, his little sister watched curiously. She thought it looked interesting + +“John, what are you making?†she asked. + +“I’m making something safe with lots of different shapes,†replied John. + +John kept building and the shapes started to come together.

It was a door, but it was like no other door Tom had ever seen. + +Tom asked his mummy what it was. She told him that the people in the shop were selling it. She said it was very special and Tom should take a look. Tom was very excited. + +He clapped his hands and ran to the door. He put his hand on it and he could feel how special it was. It was slippery and smooth like silk. Tom was very curious and excited. + +Tom asked his mummy if he could buy the door. His mummy laughed and said he could not, the door was too expensive. But she told him that he should always remember how special and weird it was. + +So Tom looked at the door one last time before they went into the shop. He said goodbye to the door, and he knew he would never forget how special and weird it was. +Susie was a three-year-old who always carried her large purple teddy bear everywhere. One day, she was walking around the town with her bear when she spotted something very interesting. A bright yellow machine with funny letters and numbers printed on it. Susie questioned what it was and was so curious that she got closer to get a better look. + +Her bear hadn't seen anything like it before, and neither had Susie. She watched as something suddenly began to appear from inside the box. A large purple print with the same strange words and numbers was now sitting in the box. Susie couldn't understand why something so interesting had been hidden away, and she was eager to question why. + +The three-year-old girl stole one last glance at the mysterious machine before making her way home. When she arrived home, she ran up to her parents and told them all about her day, including the curious machine. Her parents grinned and gave out a little giggle. + +Susie questioned what was so funny, and that's when her parents revealed that the machine was a giant printing press! Susie couldn't believe her eyes, and was amazed at the thought that she had seen an entire newspaper made from the large purple print that had come from the box. Suddenly, the mysterious machine she had seen seemed so much easier to understand. +Once upon a time, there was a van. Inside the van were two people; a mommy and her daughter. The mommy asked her daughter to be careful. + +The mommy said, "Let's go touch the van". The daughter, being very excited, said, "Yes!" + +So the mommy and daughter touched the van. They touched the headlights, the bumper, and all the windows. + +The daughter said, "We have to be careful, Mommy".

It was amazing! + +Julia's mom said, "Let's have some fun. Let's count down from ten. Are you ready to go?" Julia excitedly said, "Yes!" + +Mom started: "Ten, nine, eight..." As soon as she said "seven", the office suddenly stopped. Everyone stopped talking and the machines stopped buzzing. It was very quiet. + +Julia was confused. She asked her mom, "Why did everyone and everything stop?" + +Her mom answered, "Because it's lunch time. Everyone takes a break for lunch. It's amazing how these machines know when it's time to stop." + +Julia was amazed. She could hardly believe that a machine could be so smart and understand when it was time for a break. + +Julia and her mom enjoyed their lunch break in the office and when it was time to go, the machines restarted and everyone went back to work. + +Julia walked out of the office with a smile on her face. She had had an amazing adventure. +One hot summer day, a little girl went outside to play. She was wearing a beautiful pink dress and singing a song about fairies. As she twirled and laughed, she noticed a small figure in the distance. It was a tiny, sparkly fairy! + +The fairy flew over and said, "Hello little one! Would you like to go on an adventure with me?" +The girl was so excited that she quickly said yes! + +She followed the fairy through a rainbow and they both ended up in a magical garden. The fairy pointed out all the different flowers and the girl got to pick one. She chose a bright pink one with sparkly petals. + +But the sun was getting too hot, so the girl started to complain. She said, "It's too hot! I want to go home now." + +The fairy heard her and said, "No problem, just blow on the petal of the flower and you will be home in no time." The little girl smiled and bowed to the fairy, then blew on the petal. Sure enough, when she opened her eyes she was standing in her own garden. + +The girl smiled and hugged the flower. She thanked the fairy for the wonderful adventure and said, "I'll never forget you!" The fairy smiled and waved, then flew away into the sky. +Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack.

He was so excited! + +Jack picked up the coin and said to himself, "This is the best thing ever!" Suddenly, he heard a voice. + +"Hey! That's mine," the voice said. + +Startled, Jack turned around. Standing there was a tall, muscular man wearing a fancy cape. + +"I was looking for that coin," the man said. + +Jack replied, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to take it." + +The man smiled and said, "That's ok. Here, why don't you keep it." + +Jack thanked the man, and then quickly ran home. He placed the coin on the shelf and admired it with his fancy spear. He knew it was worth keeping his new treasure forever. +Anna liked to draw and paint. She was very creative. She made pictures of flowers, trees, animals and people. She used many colors and shapes. She was happy when she finished a picture. + +One day, she went to the farm with her mom and dad. She saw many animals there. She saw cows, sheep, chickens and pigs. She liked the pigs best. They were pink and funny. They made noises and rolled in the mud. + +She wanted to draw a picture of a pig. She asked her mom for paper and crayons. Her mom gave them to her. She found a nice spot to sit and draw. She looked at the pigs and started to draw. + +She drew a big circle for the body, a smaller circle for the head, two triangles for the ears, a curly line for the tail and four sticks for the legs. She colored the pig pink. She was proud of her picture. + +She saw a boy near the pigs. He was feeding them some corn. He looked bored. Anna wanted to make him happy. She offered him her picture.

You are very kind." + +He took her picture and hung it on the fence. He said, "Now the pigs have something nice to look at. And I have a new friend." + +Anna smiled. She was happy. She learned that sharing her creativity can make others happy. And that making friends is fun. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park with their new equipment. They had a ball, a kite, and a bucket and spade. They liked to run, kick, fly, and dig. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they saw a furry animal in the grass. It was brown and white, and had a long tail. It looked like a big mouse, but with stripes. Sara and Ben were curious. They wanted to see it better. + +"Hello, furry animal," Sara said. "What are you doing here?" + +The furry animal looked at them and made a noise. It sounded like a hiss. It showed its teeth and claws. It did not want to play. + +"Go away, furry animal," Ben said. "You are not nice. You are scary." + +The furry animal did not go away. It stayed in the grass and hissed some more. It looked angry and ready to attack. + +Sara and Ben were afraid. They did not want to get hurt. They ran away from the furry animal. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. + +"Mom, mom, there is a furry animal in the park," Sara said. "It is mean and scary. It tried to bite us." + +"Really? What kind of furry animal?" Mom asked. + +"We don't know. It is brown and white, and has a long tail. It looks like a big mouse, but with stripes," Ben said. + +Mom thought for a moment. Then she said, "I think that is a skunk. Skunks are not friendly. They can spray a bad smell if they feel threatened. You should not go near them. They are not for playing." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They learned something new. They decided to leave the skunk alone and play with their equipment somewhere else. They found a nice spot under a tree and settled there. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. Mom told them to stay close and not go near the road. Lily and Ben were obedient and listened to mom. + +But then they saw a big, fluffy dog near the fence. It had a red collar and a wagging tail. Lily and Ben loved dogs and wanted to pet it. They forgot what mom said and ran to the fence. + +"Hi, doggy!" Lily said. "You are so cute and soft. Can we be your friends?" + +The dog barked and licked their hands. It seemed friendly and happy. Lily and Ben smiled and hugged the dog. + +"Hey, kids!" a voice said. "That's my dog. His name is Max. What are your names?" + +Lily and Ben turned and saw a man walking to the fence. He had a hat and a beard. He seemed nice and kind. + +"I'm Lily and this is Ben," Lily said. "We like your dog. He is very sweet." + +"Thank you," the man said. "Max likes you too. But you shouldn't run to the fence like that. It's dangerous. The road is busy and there are cars. You could get hurt." + +Lily and Ben felt scared and sorry. They remembered what mom said and knew they did wrong. They looked at the man and said, "We're sorry, sir. We forgot. We won't do it again." + +The man nodded and smiled. He said, "That's okay. I'm glad you're safe. But you should go back to your mom. She might be worried. And always tell the truth. It's important to be honest and obedient." + +Lily and Ben agreed and said, "Yes, sir. We will. Thank you for letting us pet your dog. Bye, Max!" + +They waved to the man and the dog and ran back to mom. They told her what happened and said they were sorry. Mom hugged them and said, "I'm proud of you for telling the truth. And I'm happy you're okay. But next time, please listen to me and stay close. I love you and I want you to be safe." + +Lily and Ben said, "We love you too, mom. And we will listen to you. We learned our lesson." + +They hugged mom and played in the park.

They saw the refrigerator in the kitchen. They had an idea. + +"Let's pretend the refrigerator is a spaceship!" Ben said. "We can go to the moon and see the stars!" + +"Okay!" Lily said. "But we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad are sleeping." + +They opened the refrigerator door and climbed inside. They closed the door behind them. They felt cold and dark. They pretended to push buttons and talk to aliens. + +"Beep beep! This is Captain Ben. We are landing on the moon. Over." + +"Beep beep! This is Co-pilot Lily. We see a big cheese. Over." + +They giggled and had fun. They did not hear the doorbell ring. They did not hear Mom and Dad wake up. They did not hear Mom and Dad open the front door and greet Grandma and Grandpa. + +Mom and Dad were happy to see Grandma and Grandpa. They hugged and kissed them. They invited them to the kitchen for some coffee and cake. + +"Let me get the cake from the refrigerator," Mom said. She walked to the refrigerator and opened the door. + +She screamed. She saw Ben and Lily inside the refrigerator. They looked scared and cold. They shivered and cried. + +"Ben! Lily! What are you doing in there?" Mom yelled. "You could have frozen to death! You could have suffocated! You could have been hurt!" + +She pulled them out of the refrigerator and wrapped them in blankets. She hugged them and kissed them. She was angry and worried. + +Grandma and Grandpa were shocked and confused. They did not understand what was going on. + +"Mom, Dad, we are sorry," Ben and Lily said. "We were playing a game. We did not mean to scare you. We did not know it was dangerous." + +They felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had made a big mistake. They had been silly and foolish. + +Mom and Dad calmed down. They explained to Ben and Lily why they should never go inside the refrigerator. They told them it was not a toy. They told them it was not a spaceship. They told them it was a place to keep food fresh and cold. + +They also explained to Grandma and Grandpa what had happened. They apologized for the fright. They laughed and shook their heads. + +They all sat down at the table and had some coffee and cake. They talked and smiled. They were glad that Ben and Lily were safe and sound. + +Ben and Lily learned a lesson. They learned to never go inside the refrigerator again. They learned to listen to Mom and Dad. They learned to be careful and smart. + +They also learned to use their imagination in a different way. They decided to make a spaceship out of cardboard boxes and paper. They decorated it with stickers and crayons. They played with it in the living room. They had more fun and less trouble. + +The end. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a good helper. Mom gave her a tray with cups and plates. She told Anna to take the tray to the table. + +"Be careful, Anna. Don't drop the tray," Mom said. + +Anna nodded. She held the tray with both hands. She walked slowly to the table. She saw her brother Tom sitting on the couch. He was playing with his toy car. + +"Hi, Tom. Do you want to help me?" Anna asked. + +Tom looked at Anna. He saw the tray. He wanted to play with the tray. He jumped off the couch and ran to Anna. + +"Give me the tray, Anna. I want to play with it," Tom said. + +He tried to grab the tray from Anna. Anna did not like that. She did not want to give the tray to Tom. She wanted to help Mom. + +"No, Tom. This is not a toy. This is for the table. Mom said so," Anna said. + +She pulled the tray away from Tom. Tom did not listen. He pulled harder. The tray wobbled. The cups and plates slid off the tray. They fell on the floor. They broke into pieces. + +Anna and Tom gasped. They heard Mom coming. They knew they were in trouble. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. + +She saw the broken cups and plates. She saw the empty tray. She saw Anna and Tom. She was angry. + +"Tom, why did you do that? You did not permit Anna to take the tray to the table. You made a big mess. You are not a good helper. You are a bad boy," Mom said. + +She took the empty tray from Anna. She told Tom to go to his room. She told Anna to stay with her. She cleaned up the mess. + +Anna felt sad. She wanted to help Mom. She did not want to break the cups and plates. She did not want to make Mom angry. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I tried to take the tray to the table. Tom wanted to play with it. He did not let me. He made the tray fall," Anna said. + +Mom hugged Anna. She was not angry with Anna. She knew Anna was a good helper. She knew Tom was a naughty boy. + +"It's okay, Anna. I know you tried. You are a good helper. You are a good girl. I love you," Mom said. + +Anna smiled. She loved Mom too. She hoped Tom would say sorry. She hoped Mom would permit Tom to come out of his room. She hoped they would all have a nice dinner. +Mia and Leo were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big oak tree. It had many branches and leaves. It was unique. No other tree was like it. + +One day, they saw a bird's nest on the oak tree. It had four blue eggs inside. Mia and Leo were curious. They wanted to see the eggs up close. They climbed the oak tree carefully. They reached the nest. + +"Look, Leo, the eggs are so pretty!" Mia said. + +"Yes, they are. But we should not touch them. They belong to the bird." Leo said. + +They heard a chirp. They looked up. They saw the bird flying towards them. It was angry. It wanted to protect its eggs. + +"Uh-oh, the bird is coming. We should go down." Mia said. + +But it was too late. The bird reached the nest. It saw Mia and Leo. It pecked at them. It tried to make them go away. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The bird is hurting us!" Leo said. + +They covered their heads with their hands. They climbed down the oak tree quickly. They ran away from the bird. + +They learned their lesson. They never bothered the bird's nest again. They still liked the oak tree. But they respected the bird and its eggs. They played somewhere else. +Lily was a friendly girl who liked to help others. She went to school with her friends and learned new things every day. Her teacher, Miss Rose, taught them how to read, write, and count. She also taught them how to be kind, honest, and respectful. + +One day, Miss Rose gave them a homework. She said, "I want you to repeat this sentence ten times at home: 'I will always tell the truth.' This will help you remember how important it is to be honest." She gave them each a bell and said, "When you finish your homework, ring the bell and say 'I did it!'" + +Lily took her bell and went home. She was excited to do her homework and ring the bell. She repeated the sentence once, twice, three times. Then she got bored. She thought, "Why do I have to repeat the same thing so many times? I already know how to tell the truth. Maybe I can skip some times and ring the bell anyway. No one will know." + +She repeated the sentence four more times, then stopped. She rang the bell and said, "I did it!" She felt happy and proud. She put the bell on her table and went to play with her toys. + +But then, something strange happened. The bell started to ring by itself. It rang once, twice, three times. Lily was scared. She ran to the table and saw the bell. It rang four more times, then stopped. Then it said, "You did not do it. You lied. You only repeated the sentence seven times, not ten. You have to do it again." + +Lily was shocked. She realized that the bell knew she had cheated on her homework. She felt ashamed and sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, bell. You are right. I lied. I did not do my homework properly. I will do it again. Please forgive me." + +She picked up the bell and repeated the sentence ten times. She rang the bell and said, "I did it!" This time, she felt honest and proud. The bell said, "Well done, Lily. You did it. You told the truth. I forgive you. You are a good girl." + +Lily hugged the bell and thanked it. She learned her lesson. She never lied again. She always did her homework and told the truth. She was a friendly and honest girl who made Miss Rose and her friends happy. +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They have a big box of toys that they share.

Sara says. "It is so pretty! Can I have it?" + +"No, I saw it first!" Ben says. "It is mine! Give it to me!" + +They both want the stone and they start to pull and tug on it. They are not happy and they are not nice to each other. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. She sees them fighting and she is not happy either. "Why are you fighting over a stone? You have so many toys to play with. Why don't you share the stone or find another one?" + +"But this is the best stone ever!" Sara and Ben say. "We don't want to share it or find another one!" + +Mom thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She picks up a dirty stone from the ground. It is rough and brown and has mud on it. + +"Look, I found another stone!" Mom says. "It is just as good as the shiny one. Why don't you replace the shiny stone with this one? Then you can both have a stone and be happy." + +Sara and Ben look at the dirty stone. They do not like it. It is not pretty or smooth or sparkly. They do not want to replace the shiny stone with it. + +"Yuck, that stone is dirty!" Sara says. "I don't want it!" + +"Me neither!" Ben says. "It is ugly!" + +They look at each other. They look at the shiny stone. They look at Mom. They feel sorry for fighting. They have an idea. + +"Mom, we are sorry for fighting," Sara says. "We don't want to replace the shiny stone with the dirty one. We want to share it." + +"Yes, Mom, we are sorry too," Ben says. "We want to play nicely with each other and with our toys. Can we share the shiny stone and put it in our box?" + +Mom smiles. She is happy that Sara and Ben are sorry and that they want to share. She gives them a hug and a kiss. + +"Of course you can share the shiny stone and put it in your box," Mom says. "That is a very good idea. I am proud of you for being kind and generous. Now, let's go and have some fun in the park." + +Sara and Ben smile. They are happy too. They put the shiny stone in their box and they play with their toys. They take turns holding the shiny stone and admiring it. They are nice to each other and to Mom. They have a lot of fun in the park. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many figures of animals, cars, and people. Tom liked to make noises and move his figures fast. Lily liked to make stories and talk to her figures. + +"Look, Lily, this is a lion. He is very big and strong. He can roar and run fast. Roar!" Tom said, holding a yellow figure with a mane. + +"That's nice, Tom. But this is a princess. She is very pretty and kind. She can sing and dance. La la la!" Lily said, holding a pink figure with a dress. + +Tom wanted to play with Lily's figure. He thought it was more fun than his lion. He reached out his hand and tried to grab it. + +"Hey, Tom, don't take my princess. She is mine. Go play with your lion." Lily said, pulling her figure away. + +Tom was not happy. He wanted to make Lily give him her figure. He poked her arm with his finger. + +"Ow, Tom, that hurts. Stop poking me. That's not nice." Lily said, rubbing her arm. + +Tom did not stop. He poked her again and again. He thought it was funny to see Lily get mad. + +"Tom, stop it. You are being mean. I don't want to play with you anymore." Lily said, getting up and running to the other side of the room. + +Tom felt sad. He realized he had made a mistake. He did not want to lose his friend. He put down his lion and followed Lily. + +"Lily, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have poked you. Can we be friends again?" Tom said, holding out his hand. + +Lily looked at Tom. She saw that he was sorry. She smiled and took his hand. + +"Okay, Tom. I forgive you. We can be friends again. But you have to be nice and share your toys." Lily said, hugging Tom. + +Tom nodded and hugged Lily back. He learned his lesson. He did not poke Lily anymore. He played with his lion and her princess. They had fun together. The end. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the forest. They had a favorite tree, a big pine, where they built a fort with sticks and leaves. They had fun hiding and pretending to be brave explorers. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the forest. He was wearing a red hat and had a big backpack. He looked lost and scared. Lily and Ben wanted to help him, but they also felt shy. They whispered to each other, "Who is he? Where is he from? What if he is mean?" + +The new boy heard them and said, "Hello, I'm Sam. I just moved here with my mom and dad. I don't know anyone here. Can I play with you?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for Sam, but they also liked their fort. They didn't want to share it with a stranger. They said, "No, this is our fort. You can't play here. Go away." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He said, "Fine, I don't want to play with you anyway. You are selfish and rude. I'll find my own fort." He turned around and walked away. + +Lily and Ben felt a little guilty, but they also felt proud. They had defended their fort. They climbed inside and started to play. But soon, they felt bored and lonely. They missed their friends from school and their old neighborhood. They wondered if Sam was still in the forest. They wished they had been nicer to him. + +They decided to go and look for him. They left their fort and followed his footsteps. They found him sitting under a small pine, crying. He had tried to make a fort, but it had fallen apart. He had no one to play with or talk to. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for him. They remembered how they felt when they moved here. They knew how hard it was to make new friends. They said, "Hi, Sam. We're sorry we were mean to you. We were scared and selfish. We want to be your friends. Can we play with you?" + +Sam looked up and saw them. He wiped his tears and smiled. He said, "Hi, Lily and Ben. I'm sorry I was angry at you. I was lonely and sad. I want to be your friends too. Can we play together?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They said, "Yes, let's play together. We can share our fort and our toys. We can have more fun if we unite." + +They took Sam by the hand and led him to their big pine. They showed him their fort and their games. They laughed and played and had a great time.

She does not hear her mom coming out of the shower. + +Her mom sees Lila playing with the ball. She is angry and scared. She shouts, "Lila, stop! That ball is not a toy! It is fragile and expensive! You could break it or hurt yourself!" She runs to the living room and takes the ball from Lila. She puts it back on the shelf. She looks at Lila with a stern face. + +Lila feels guilty. She knows she did something bad. She did not listen to her mom. She took something that was not hers. She made her mom upset. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to play with the shiny ball. I like how it shines. I won't do it again." She hugs her mom and hopes she will forgive her. + +Her mom hugs her back and says, "I know, Lila. I know you like shiny things. But you have to ask me before you touch anything that is not yours. And you have to be careful with things that are delicate. The ball is special to me. It helps me to do yoga and meditation. Do you understand?" She kisses Lila and smiles. + +Lila nods and says, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I love you. Can we do yoga now?" She points to the mat and the book. She wants to make her mom happy and proud. She wants to do yoga with her and shine together. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and climb. They see a big truck with a lot of equipment on it. The equipment is modern and shiny. It can lift heavy things. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. "It can lift that big box!" + +"Can we go and see?" Lily asks. + +They run to the truck and see a man wearing a helmet and a vest. He is holding a remote control. He sees the children and smiles. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like my equipment?" he asks. + +"Yes, it is very cool!" Tom says. "What are you doing?" + +"I am lifting these boxes to the roof of that building. They have books and toys inside. I work for a charity that helps children who don't have much," he explains. + +"That is very nice of you," Lily says. "Can we help?" + +The man laughs. "Well, you can watch, but be careful. Don't touch anything. This equipment is powerful, but it can also be dangerous. You have to be very careful when you lift things." + +"OK, we will watch," Tom says. + +The man presses a button and the equipment lifts another box. The children clap and cheer. They watch until all the boxes are lifted. Then they say goodbye to the man and thank him for his work. + +They go back to play in the park. They pretend to lift things with their arms and make noises like the equipment. They have a lot of fun. They think that lifting things is a good way to help others. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big rainbow in the sky. They ran to the end of the rainbow, hoping to find gold. + +"Look, Sara, there is a pot of gold!" Ben shouted, pointing to a shiny metal container under a tree. + +"Wow, Ben, we are so lucky!" Sara said, running to the pot. She opened the lid and saw many gold coins inside. She took one and held it in her hand. It was heavy and bright. + +"Let's spread the gold with our friends!" Ben said, taking another coin. "We have enough for everyone!" + +Sara nodded and smiled. She and Ben filled their pockets with gold coins and ran back to the park. They gave a coin to each of their friends and told them about the rainbow and the pot of gold. + +"Thank you, Sara and Ben, you are very kind!" their friends said, happy and surprised. + +Sara and Ben felt good. They had found gold, but they had also spread joy. They hugged each other and looked at the rainbow, fading in the sky. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with toys. They had a big box of toys with many things inside. One day, they found a rocket in the box. It was shiny and red and had a pointy nose. They wanted to play with the rocket and make it fly. + +They took the rocket outside and looked for a place to launch it. They saw a big hill with a lot of grass. They thought it would be a good place to make the rocket fly high. They ran to the hill and put the rocket on the ground. They looked for a button or a string to make the rocket go. + +They did not find a button or a string. They only found a wire that was attached to the rocket. They did not know what the wire was for. They thought it was a tail. They pulled the wire and tried to make the rocket fly. But nothing happened. The rocket did not move. + +They were sad and confused. They wanted to see the rocket fly. They thought maybe the wire was broken. They decided to cut the wire and see what would happen. They found a pair of scissors in their pocket and used it to cut the wire. + +But as soon as they cut the wire, the rocket made a loud noise and a big fire. It was not a toy rocket. It was a real rocket. It was very dangerous. The fire burned Lily and Tom and the grass. They screamed and cried. They were hurt and scared. They wished they had not cut the wire. They wished they had been humble and left the rocket alone. +Lily and Max were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mommy. Lily found a big bowl and a spoon. Max found some flour and sugar. They poured the flour and sugar into the bowl. + +"Let's stir it!" Lily said. She took the spoon and moved it around in the bowl. The flour and sugar mixed together. "This is fun!" Max said. He helped Lily stir the bowl. + +They looked for some eggs and milk. They found them in the fridge. They cracked the eggs and poured the milk into the bowl. They stirred some more. The batter was sticky and wet. + +"Can I taste it?" Max asked. He licked the spoon. "Yum!" he said. "It's sweet!" + +"Wait, we need to bake it!" Lily said. She found a cake pan and some oil. She poured some oil into the pan. She used her fingers to spread it all over. "This is like a massage for the pan!" she said. She giggled. + +She poured the batter into the pan. She asked Max to help her. They carried the pan to the oven. They asked Daddy to turn on the oven and put the pan inside. They waited for the cake to bake. + +They smelled the cake. It smelled good. They heard the timer beep. They asked Daddy to take out the cake. They let it cool down. They decorated it with frosting and sprinkles. + +They brought the cake to Mommy. She was in the living room. She was reading a book. She saw the cake. She smiled. + +"Wow, what a beautiful cake!" she said. "Did you make it for me?" + +"Yes, Mommy!" Lily and Max said. "We stirred and poured and baked it for you!" + +"Thank you, my sweeties!" Mommy said. She hugged them and kissed them. "You are the best!" + +They cut the cake and ate it together. It was delicious. They were happy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to explore. She had a huge toy box in her room, full of dolls, cars, books and puzzles. But she also wanted to see what was in the other rooms of the house. She knew her mom and dad locked some doors, but she did not know why. + +One morning, when her mom and dad were still sleeping, Lily got out of bed and put on her slippers. She tiptoed to the hall and saw a shiny key on a hook. She reached for it and took it in her hand. She wondered what door it would unlock. + +She tried the key on the first door, but it did not fit. She tried the second door, but it did not fit either. She tried the third door, and it turned. She pushed the door open and saw a dark room with a big window. She saw stars and a moon outside. She was curious and walked in. + +She saw a big desk with a computer and a chair. She saw a shelf with books and pictures. She saw a closet with clothes and shoes. She saw a box with wires and buttons. She wanted to touch everything, but she remembered her mom and dad said not to touch their things. + +She decided to look out the window instead. She climbed on the chair and peered outside. She saw a huge rocket on a launch pad. She saw people in suits and helmets. She saw lights and smoke. She heard a loud voice counting down. + +"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blast off!" + +She saw the rocket lift off and fly into the sky. She saw a bright flame and a trail of smoke. She saw the rocket get smaller and smaller until it disappeared. She was amazed and excited. She wanted to go to the moon too. + +She heard a noise behind her. She turned and saw her mom and dad standing in the door. They looked angry and worried. They asked her what she was doing in their room. They asked her how she got the key. They asked her if she touched anything. + +Lily felt scared and sorry. She did not mean to make them mad. She did not mean to break any rules. She just wanted to see the rocket. She said she was sorry and gave them the key. She said she only looked out the window. She said she wanted to go to the moon. + +Her mom and dad hugged her and said they loved her. They said they were not mad, but they were concerned. They said they locked their room because they worked for the space agency and they had important and secret things in there. They said they did not want her to get hurt or to lose their jobs. + +They said they understood her curiosity and her dream. They said they were proud of her and they would tell her more about the rocket and the moon when she was older. They said they would take her to the space museum and show her more things. They said they would help her unlock her potential. + +They said they were sorry they did not spend more time with her. They said they would make breakfast and play with her. They said they would lock their room again and hide the key. They said they would be more careful and more loving. + +They took her hand and led her out of the room. They closed the door and locked it. They went to the kitchen and made pancakes and juice. They ate and laughed and talked. They went to the living room and played with her toys. They read and hugged and smiled. + +Lily was happy and grateful. She loved her mom and dad. She loved her toy box. She loved the rocket and the moon. She loved the morning and the huge adventure. She loved the key and the unlock. She loved the story and the end. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had a lot of fun toys, but their favorite was a big teddy bear. They named him Brownie. + +One day, Tom and Lily had a fight. They both wanted to hug Brownie, but he was too small for both of them. They pulled and pulled on his arms, trying to get him for themselves. They did not share or say sorry. + +Brownie did not like the fight. He felt a lot of pain in his arms. He wished Tom and Lily would stop. But they did not listen. They pulled harder and harder, until something bad happened. Brownie's arm came off! + +Tom and Lily were shocked. They looked at Brownie's arm in their hands, and then at Brownie's sad face. They felt very sorry for what they did. They hurt their friend with their harsh words and actions. + +They hugged Brownie and each other, and said sorry. They used some tape to fix Brownie's arm. They promised to never fight over him again. They learned to share and be kind. Brownie was happy again. He forgave Tom and Lily, and they all played together. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big bean plant with many green beans. They wanted to pick some beans and eat them. + +"Look, Lily, these beans look yummy!" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, let's get some!" Lily said. + +They climbed the bean plant and reached for the beans. But they did not know that the bean plant had sharp thorns that could hurt them. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He pricked his hand on a thorn and it bled. "Lily, help me!" + +Lily tried to help Tom, but she also pricked her hand on another thorn. She cried too. "Tom, I'm sorry, I can't help you!" + +They were both stuck on the bean plant and could not get down. They were scared and in pain. They wished they had not been greedy and left the beans alone. + +Soon, the sun set and it became dark. They could not see anything. They felt cold and hungry. They heard strange noises in the night. They wondered if there were animals that would eat them. + +They realized they had made a big mistake. They should have listened to their parents who told them not to touch the bean plant. They should have been careful and respectful of nature. They should have been happy with what they had. + +They learned a hard lesson that day. They hoped someone would find them and save them. But no one came. They were never seen again. + +The end. + +Moral: Do not be greedy and disobey your parents. Be careful and respectful of nature. Be happy with what you have. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But today, they are bored. They do not want to play with their toys or read their books. + +"Let's do something else," Tom says. + +"Like what?" Lily asks. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He hears a sound. It is the clock on the wall. It goes tick-tock, tick-tock. + +"I know! Let's listen to the clock!" Tom says. + +Lily looks at the clock. It is round and white. It has two hands and twelve numbers. + +"Listen to the clock? Why?" Lily says. + +"Because it is fun! We can count the ticks and tocks. We can pretend we are in a big house. We can make up stories about the clock," Tom says. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes to count and pretend and make up stories. + +"Okay, let's listen to the clock," Lily says. + +They sit on the floor and look at the clock. They listen to the tick-tock, tick-tock. They start to count. + +"One, two, three, four," Tom says. + +"Five, six, seven, eight," Lily says. + +They keep counting. They smile and giggle. They forget they are bored. They forget they are in their room. They forget their toys and books. They only listen to the clock. + +The clock is happy. It likes to have friends. It likes to make sounds. It does not feel lonely. It does not feel empty. It only tick-tocks, tick-tocks. +Tom and Lily wanted to play with the kayak. It was a big boat that could go on the water. They asked their dad if they could try it. + +"Okay, but you have to be very careful and wear your life jackets," dad said. "And stay close to the shore. I will watch you from here." + +Tom and Lily put on their life jackets and climbed into the kayak. They each had a paddle to make the boat move. They pushed the boat into the water and started to paddle. + +"This is fun!" Tom said. "Look, we are going fast!" + +"Yes, it is!" Lily said. "But don't go too far. Dad said to stay close." + +Tom and Lily paddled around the water, enjoying the sun and the breeze. They saw some fish and birds and waved to them. They felt very brave and happy. + +But then, they saw a big wave coming. It was bigger than the kayak. Tom and Lily got scared. + +"Uh-oh, what do we do?" Tom said. + +"Quick, paddle back to the shore!" Lily said. + +They tried to paddle back, but the wave was faster. It lifted the kayak and tossed it around. Tom and Lily screamed and held on tight. + +Dad saw them and ran to help. He jumped into the water and swam to them. He grabbed the kayak and pulled it to the shore. He lifted Tom and Lily out of the boat and hugged them. + +"Are you okay?" he asked. + +"Yes, we are okay," Tom and Lily said. "But we are wet and cold and scared." + +"I'm sorry, that was a big wave. You were very brave to paddle back. You almost succeeded. But next time, listen to me and don't go too far, okay?" dad said. + +"Okay, dad. We are sorry. We love you," Tom and Lily said. + +Dad smiled and said, "I love you too. Come on, let's go home and get dry and warm." + +They left the kayak on the shore and walked home together. They learned a lesson and had a story to tell. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys. They have many toys, but they like one toy best. It is a big teddy bear. They call it Bear. + +One day, Tom and Anna have a fight. They both want to play with Bear. Tom says, "Bear is mine. I got it for my birthday." Anna says, "No, Bear is mine. I found it in the park." They pull and tug on Bear. They make Bear sad. + +They hear a loud noise. It is a dog. The dog is big and mean. It sees Bear. It wants to bite Bear. It runs to Tom and Anna. Tom and Anna are scared. They drop Bear. The dog grabs Bear in its mouth. It runs away. + +Tom and Anna cry. They want Bear back. They run after the dog. They see the dog go into a house. The house is dark and scary. They knock on the door. No one answers. They open the door. They see the dog on a bed. It is sleeping with Bear. + +Tom and Anna sneak into the house. They try to get Bear. But the dog wakes up. It barks and growls. It chases Tom and Anna. They run out of the house. They slam the door. They are safe. But they are sad. They lost Bear. + +They sit on the grass. They hug each other. They say they are sorry. They say they are friends. They say they both love Bear. They wish they could have Bear back. + +They hear a voice. It is a lady. She comes out of the house. She has Bear in her arms. She says, "Are you looking for this?" She gives Bear to Tom and Anna. She says, "I saw the dog take your toy. I'm sorry. He likes to steal things. He doesn't know how to share. But he doesn't hurt them. He just wants to cuddle them. He is lonely." + +Tom and Anna thank the lady. They hug Bear. They are happy. They say Bear is lucky. He has two friends and a dog. They say they are lucky too. They have each other and Bear. They say they will share Bear. They say Bear belongs to both of them. They say they belong to Bear. They smile and laugh. They go home. They play with Bear. They are friends. +Lily and Ben love to observe the stars at night. They have a big book with pictures of stars and planets. Sometimes, their uncle Tom comes to visit and brings his telescope. Uncle Tom knows a lot about the stars and tells them stories. + +One night, uncle Tom came and said, "Do you want to see something perfect?" He set up his telescope in the backyard and pointed it at the sky. "Look, there is the moon. It is full and bright. Can you see the dark spots on it? Those are craters, where rocks hit the moon long ago." + +Lily and Ben took turns to look through the telescope. They saw the moon up close and were amazed. "Wow, it is so big and round!" Lily said. "It looks like a big cheese!" Ben said. They laughed and hugged uncle Tom. + +"Thank you, uncle Tom. You are the best!" they said. Uncle Tom smiled and said, "You are very welcome, my little astronomers. I'm glad you like the stars as much as I do. They are perfect, too. They are like little lights that guide us in the dark." + +They stayed up late and observed more stars and planets. They saw Mars, the red planet, and Saturn, the ringed planet. They learned their names and shapes. They had a lot of fun and felt very happy. They wished they could go to the moon and the stars one day. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big thing with wings and many colors. It is a butterfly. They are eager to catch it. + +"Look, look, a butterfly!" Lily says. "Let's catch it!" + +They run after the butterfly. They try to touch it, but it flies away. They follow it to the flowers, the grass, the tree. They are having fun. + +The butterfly lands on a leaf. Lily and Ben are very close. They are quiet and careful. They have a net. They want to cover the butterfly with the net. + +"Shh, shh, we have it!" Ben whispers. He moves the net slowly. He is ready to cover the butterfly. + +But the butterfly sees the net. It flaps its wings and flies away. It is too fast for Lily and Ben. + +"Oh, no, it's gone!" Lily says. She is sad. + +"Don't be sad, Lily," Ben says. "It was a pretty butterfly. Maybe we can see it again." + +They hug each other. They are still eager to play. They look for other things in the garden. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their dog, Spot. One day, they find a new trail in the woods. They want to explore it. + +"Come on, Spot, let's go!" Sara says. + +"Wait, Sara, we should tell Mom and Dad first," Ben says. + +"No, we don't have to. It's just a trail. We'll be back soon," Sara says. + +She runs ahead with Spot. Ben follows her, but he feels scared. + +The trail is long and winding. Sara and Ben see many trees and flowers and birds. They also see some berries on a bush. + +"Look, Ben, berries! Let's eat some," Sara says. + +She picks some and puts them in her mouth. They are sweet and juicy. + +"Yum, these are good. Try some, Ben," Sara says. + +Ben looks at the berries. They are red and shiny. But he remembers what Mom and Dad told him. + +"No, Sara, we shouldn't eat these. We don't know if they are safe. They might make us sick. Or spoil our lunch," Ben says. + +He shakes his head. He wants to go back. + +"Fine, be a baby. I'll eat them all," Sara says. + +She eats more berries. She feels happy. She doesn't listen to Ben. + +But soon, Sara feels sick. Her tummy hurts. She feels dizzy. She wants to cry. + +"Ben, I don't feel good. I want to go home," Sara says. + +Ben sees that Sara is pale and sweaty. He is worried. + +"Come on, Sara, let's go. I'll help you," Ben says. + +He holds her hand. He tries to find the way back. But the trail is confusing. He doesn't know where they are. + +They are lost. + +They are scared. + +They wish they had told Mom and Dad. + +They wish they had listened to Ben. + +They learn a lesson. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing outside after the rain. They liked to jump in the puddles and splash each other. They laughed and had fun. + +But then they saw a big puddle that looked very dark and dirty. Lily wanted to jump in it, but Ben said no. + +"That puddle is bad. It has yucky things in it. It can make you sick," Ben said. + +Lily did not listen. She said she was brave and she wanted to try. She ran and jumped in the big puddle. + +But as soon as she landed, she felt something slimy and cold on her feet. She looked down and saw worms and bugs and mud. She screamed and tried to get out, but she slipped and fell. + +She got wet and dirty all over. She started to shiver and cry. Ben ran to help her. He pulled her out of the puddle and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. You were right. That puddle was bad. It made me feel sour," Lily said. + +Ben said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry you got hurt. Let's go home and get clean and warm. Next time, listen to me when I tell you something is bad. I'm your brother and I love you." + +Lily nodded and said, "I love you too, Ben. Thank you for helping me. Next time, I will listen to you." + +They held hands and walked home. They learned to be careful and to trust each other. +Lily and her mom and dad were going on a big plane to see grandma and grandpa. They had to pack their bags and go to the airport. Lily was very happy and excited. She wanted to see the clouds and the birds from the window. + +At the airport, they had to wait in a long line. Lily was bored and tired. She wanted to play with her toys and read her books. Mom and dad gave her a hug and a snack. They told her they had to show their passports to a man. A passport was a small book with their names and pictures. It told the man where they came from and where they were going. + +When it was their turn, they gave their passports to the man. He looked at them and smiled. He said hello to Lily and asked her how old she was. She said she was three. He said she was very cute and gave her a sticker. Lily liked the sticker. It had a plane and a star on it. + +But then, the man looked at mom's passport again. He frowned and shook his head. He said there was a problem. He said mom's passport was old and not good. He said mom could not enter the big plane. He said mom had to stay here and get a new passport. + +Lily and dad were very sad. They did not want to leave mom behind. They wanted to go with her to see grandma and grandpa. Mom was sad too. She hugged Lily and dad and said she was sorry. She said she would try to get a new passport as soon as possible. She said she would call them and join them later. + +Lily and dad had to enter the big plane without mom. They found their seats and buckled their belts. Lily looked out the window and saw mom waving goodbye. She waved back and cried. She wished mom could enter the big plane with them. She hoped mom would get a new passport soon. She missed her already. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a shiny thing in the grass. It was a gem that someone had lost. Sara wanted to keep it, but Tom said they should give it back. + +"Whoever lost this gem must be very sad," Tom said. "We should find them and make them happy." + +"But it is so pretty," Sara said. "I want to have it. It is mine now." + +She put the gem in her pocket and ran away. Tom followed her, but he was angry. + +Sara ran to her house and showed the gem to her mom. Her mom was surprised and asked her where she got it. + +"I found it in the park," Sara said. "It is mine." + +Her mom shook her head. "No, Sara, it is not yours. It belongs to someone else. You should not take things that are not yours. That is wrong. You should be sorry and return it." + +Sara felt bad. She knew her mom was right. She had been foolish and greedy. She had hurt her friend and the owner of the gem. She regretted what she had done. + +She took the gem and ran back to the park. She hoped Tom was still there. She wanted to say sorry and give the gem back. + +She saw Tom sitting on a bench. He looked sad. She ran to him and held out the gem. + +"Tom, I am sorry," she said. "I was wrong. I should not have taken the gem. It is not mine. Can you forgive me?" + +Tom looked at her and smiled. He took the gem and hugged her. + +"Of course I forgive you, Sara," he said. "You are my friend. I am glad you came back. Let's go and find the owner of the gem. Maybe they are still looking for it." + +They held hands and walked around the park. They saw a lady crying on a bench. She had a necklace with a hole where the gem used to be. + +"Excuse me, lady," Tom said. "Is this your gem?" + +He showed her the gem. The lady gasped and smiled. She took the gem and thanked them. + +"You are very kind and honest, children," she said. "You have made me very happy. This gem was a gift from my husband. He is gone now, but this gem reminds me of him. I was so sad when I lost it. Thank you for bringing it back." + +She gave them each a hug and a candy. Sara and Tom felt happy too. They had done the right thing. They had learned a lesson. They had been good friends. +Tom and Lily were playing with a ball in the street. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away, but they ran after it and brought it back. + +One day, a big boy came and saw their ball. He wanted to play with it too, but he did not ask Tom and Lily. He just took the ball and kicked it very hard. The ball flew over the fence and into the garden of a mean dog. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Tom shouted. "Give it back!" + +"No, it's mine now!" the big boy said. "You are too small to play with it. Go away!" + +The big boy was very selfish. He did not care about Tom and Lily. He only cared about himself. + +Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They wanted their ball back, but they were afraid of the mean dog. They did not know what to do. + +Then they saw a police car coming down the street. The police car stopped near them and a nice lady got out. She was a police officer. + +"Hello, kids. What's the matter?" she asked. + +The big boy saw the police officer and ran away. He left the ball behind. + +Tom and Lily told the police officer what happened. She listened and nodded. + +"That was not nice of him. He should not take things that are not his. He should share and be kind. Do you want me to get your ball back?" she asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said. + +The police officer smiled and went to the fence. She called the mean dog and gave him a treat. The mean dog wagged his tail and let her take the ball. She threw the ball to Tom and Lily. + +"Here you go. Have fun, but be careful. Don't play in the street. It's not safe. Play in the park or the yard instead. OK?" she said. + +"OK. Thank you, officer!" Tom and Lily said. + +They hugged the police officer and thanked her again. Then they took their ball and went to the park. They played with their ball and had a good time. They were happy and grateful. They were not selfish. They shared and were kind. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with blocks. They build towers and bridges and castles. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +One day, they have a contest. Who can build the highest tower? They each choose a spot on the floor and start stacking blocks. They try to make their towers strong and steady. They want to win. + +Tom's tower is very tall. He uses big blocks at the bottom and small blocks at the top. He thinks his tower is the best. He looks at Sam's tower and laughs. "Your tower is silly," he says. "It is not high at all. You use too many small blocks. They are not heavy enough. Your tower will fall." + +Sam's tower is not very tall. He uses small blocks at the bottom and big blocks at the top. He thinks his tower is fun. He likes the colors and shapes. He looks at Tom's tower and smiles. "Your tower is boring," he says. "It is too high. You use too many big blocks. They are too heavy. Your tower will break." + +Tom and Sam stare at each other. They are angry. They do not say sorry. They do not share. They do not have fun. + +Suddenly, a loud noise makes them jump. Their dog, Spot, runs into the room. He is happy. He wants to play. He sees the towers and thinks they are toys. He jumps and barks and wags his tail. He knocks down both towers with his paws. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They see their blocks scattered on the floor. They see their towers ruined. They see their dog wagging his tail. They do not know what to do. + +Then, they look at each other. They see their faces. They see their tears. They see their mistake. They feel sorry. They hug each other. They hug their dog. They say sorry. They say they love each other. They say they love their dog. + +They decide to build a new tower together. They use big and small blocks. They use different colors and shapes. They make their tower strong and steady and fun. They help each other. They share. They have fun. + +They finish their tower. It is the highest and the best tower they ever made. They are happy. They are proud. They are friends. They have success. +Lily was a princess who loved to learn new things. She liked to read books, draw pictures, and play music. But she did not know how to ride a horse. She was afraid of the big animals that ran fast and made loud noises. + +One day, her father, the king, said, "Lily, I have a surprise for you. I found a rare horse that is very gentle and smart. He can teach you how to ride. His name is Star." + +Lily was curious and nervous. She followed her father to the stable, where she saw a beautiful white horse with a star on his forehead. He looked at her with kind eyes and nuzzled her hand. + +"Hello, Star," Lily said softly. "I want to be your friend. But I don't know how to ride you. Can you teach me?" + +Star nodded and whinnied. He let Lily pet him and brush him. Then he let her put a saddle and a bridle on him. He walked slowly with her to the field, where he showed her how to get on his back and hold the reins. He taught her how to steer him, stop him, and make him go faster or slower. He was very patient and gentle with her. + +Lily felt happy and brave. She learned how to ride Star and have fun with him. She thanked him and gave him a hug and a carrot. She said, "Star, you are the best teacher ever. You are my rare and special friend." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their old dog Spot. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. Spot liked to chase and bark and wag his tail. + +"Look, Lily, the sky is getting dark," Tom said. "Maybe it will rain soon." + +"I don't like rain," Lily said. "Rain makes me wet and cold." + +"Me too," Tom said. "But maybe we can play in the puddles later. That is fun." + +They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. Spot was scared. He ran to Tom and Lily and hid behind them. + +"Don't worry, Spot," Lily said. "It's just the weather. It won't hurt you." + +They saw a flash of light. It was lightning. It made the sky bright and shiny. + +"Wow, that is pretty," Tom said. "But also loud." + +They heard another noise. It was their mom. She was calling them from the car. + +"Tom, Lily, Spot, come on, it's time to go home," she said. "The weather is getting bad. We don't want to get caught in the storm." + +They ran to the car with Spot. They got in and buckled their seat belts. + +"Did you have fun in the park?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, we did," Tom said. "But we also saw thunder and lightning. They were scary and pretty." + +"I'm glad you're safe," Mom said. "Thunder and lightning are part of the weather. Sometimes they make noise and light, but they also bring rain and wind." + +"Rain and wind are not fun," Lily said. + +"Sometimes they are," Mom said. "They make the flowers grow and the air fresh. But sometimes they are too strong and dangerous. That's why we have to be careful and listen to the weather report." + +"What is the weather report?" Tom asked. + +"It's when someone on the radio or TV tells us what the weather will be like," Mom said. "They mention if it will be sunny or cloudy or rainy or snowy or windy or stormy." + +"Why do they mention that?" Lily asked. + +"So we can know what to wear and what to do," Mom said. "For example, today they mentioned that there would be a storm in the afternoon. That's why I came to pick you up early." + +"Oh, I see," Tom said. + +"Me too," Lily said. + +They drove home and saw the rain start to fall. They were happy to be warm and dry in the car. They thanked Mom for picking them up and mentioning the weather report. They hoped the storm would end soon and they could play in the park again. +Lily and Tom liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. Lily's favorite car was a red fire truck. It had a long ladder and a shiny buckle. Tom's favorite car was a blue police car. It had a loud siren and a fast motor. + +One day, they saw smoke coming from the kitchen. They ran to see what was happening. They saw a pot on the stove. The pot was burning. The fire was big and scary. They heard their mom scream. She was trying to put out the fire with a towel. + +Lily and Tom wanted to help. They grabbed their toy cars and ran to the kitchen. Lily said, "My fire truck can stop the fire. It has water in the hose." Tom said, "My police car can call for help. It has a radio in the dash." They pretended to spray water and talk on the radio. They made noises like their cars. + +Their mom saw them and smiled. She was not scared anymore. She had turned off the stove and the fire was gone. She hugged them and said, "Thank you, my brave firefighters and police officers. You are very reliable. You saved the day." She gave them a kiss and a cookie. + +Lily and Tom were happy. They ate their cookies and played with their cars. They felt proud and safe. They knew their mom loved them and their cars. They said, "We love you, mom. And we love our cars. They are the best." +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron with flowers on it. She helped mom stir the soup, cut the bread, and set the table. Mom smiled and said, "You are a good helper, Lily." + +One day, mom said, "Lily, we are going to the park with your friends. Do you want to go?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I love the park." She took off her apron and put on her coat and shoes. Mom and Lily walked to the park. + +At the park, Lily saw her friends, Ben and Mia. They were playing on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. Lily ran to join them. She said, "Hi, Ben. Hi, Mia. Can I play with you?" Ben and Mia said, "Yes, Lily. You can play with us." They were friendly and shared their toys. + +Lily had fun with her friends. She swung on the swings, slid on the slide, and made a castle in the sandbox. She laughed and said, "This is the best day ever." Mom watched and said, "I'm glad you are having fun, Lily." + +After a while, mom said, "Lily, it's time to go home. Say goodbye to your friends." Lily said, "Bye, Ben. Bye, Mia. Thank you for playing with me." Ben and Mia said, "Bye, Lily. You are welcome. See you soon." Lily hugged her friends and walked with mom. + +On the way home, mom said, "Lily, you are a good friend. You are kind and polite. You make others happy." Lily said, "Thank you, mom. You are a good mom. You make me happy." Mom and Lily hugged and said, "I love you." + +The moral value of the story is: Be a good friend and a good helper. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They had a big sack with them. They put some leaves, rocks and sticks in the sack. They wanted to make a fort. + +But then they saw a mean dog. The dog was big and loud. It had sharp teeth and a razor on its collar. The dog ran towards them. It wanted to bite them and take their sack. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what to do. They looked for help. They saw their dad. He was dependable. He always took care of them. He saw the dog too. He ran to them and picked them up. He shouted at the dog and threw a stick. The dog ran away. + +Lily and Ben hugged their dad. They were happy and safe. They thanked him for saving them. He smiled and kissed them. He said he loved them. He said they could keep their sack and make their fort. They went home together. They had a good day. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today is a special day. It is their birthday. They are very happy. + +Mom and Dad have a big surprise for them. They have two big boxes with colorful paper and ribbons. They wrap the boxes and put them on the table. They say, "Happy birthday, Anna and Ben! These are your presents. You can open them after the cake." + +Anna and Ben are very curious. They want to see what is inside the boxes. They give each other a look. They have an idea. They sneak to the table when Mom and Dad are not looking. They try to peek under the paper and ribbons. They are very quiet. + +But Mom and Dad are not silly. They know what Anna and Ben are doing. They come to the table and say, "Ah-ha! We caught you! You are not supposed to open your presents before the cake. But we love you very much. So we will let you open them now. But first, you have to give us a big hug and a kiss." + +Anna and Ben are very cheerful. They hug and kiss Mom and Dad. Then they open their presents. They are very excited. Anna gets a new doll with a pink dress and a hat. Ben gets a new truck with big wheels and a horn. They say, "Thank you, Mom and Dad! These are the best presents ever! We love you very much!" + +Mom and Dad are very proud. They say, "You are welcome, Anna and Ben! We are so happy that you like your presents. You are the best twins ever! We love you very much, too!" + +They all go to the kitchen and have a big cake with candles and ice cream. They sing, "Happy birthday, Anna and Ben!" They have a lot of fun. It is a very special day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs and worms. They had a big bucket to put their finds in. + +"Look, Lily, I found a shiny rock!" Ben said, holding up a smooth pebble. + +"Wow, Ben, that's pretty!" Lily said. "Can I see?" + +Ben gave her the rock and she rubbed it with her fingers. She saw something red and shiny under the dirt. + +"What's that?" she asked, pointing to the red thing. + +Ben dug some more and pulled out a glass bottle. It had a cork and a label with words they could not read. + +"Maybe it's wine," Ben said. "Mama and Papa drink wine sometimes. They say it's yummy." + +Lily nodded. She wanted to try the wine. She pulled the cork with her teeth and spit it out. She smelled the bottle. It smelled sour and funny. + +"Yuck, this is not wine!" she said, making a face. "This is bad juice!" + +She gave the bottle to Ben and he smelled it too. He agreed that it was bad juice. He threw the bottle back in the hole. + +"Let's find something else," he said. + +They dug some more and found a chubby worm. It was long and wiggly and had many legs. + +"Wow, Lily, I found a chubby worm!" Ben said, holding it up. + +"Wow, Ben, that's gross!" Lily said. "Can I touch?" + +Ben gave her the worm and she felt it with her fingers. It tickled and squirmed. + +"Ha ha, this is fun!" she said. "Let's put it in the bucket!" + +They put the worm in the bucket and went to find more things. They had a lot of fun in the garden. They did not care about the bad juice anymore. +Tom and Anna were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find things. Sometimes they found worms, sometimes they found stones, sometimes they found nothing. + +One day, they found a big box. It was brown and dirty and had a lock on it. Tom and Anna were curious. They wanted to see what was inside the box. + +"Maybe it has toys or candy or books," Tom said. + +"Maybe it has a treasure or a magic wand or a fairy," Anna said. + +They tried to open the lock, but it was too hard. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They pushed and pulled and kicked the box, but it did not move. + +Then they saw a button. It was red and shiny and had a sign on it. The sign had some words, but Tom and Anna could not read them. + +"Maybe this button will open the box," Tom said. + +"Maybe we should not touch it," Anna said. + +Tom was brave. He wanted to see what was inside the box. He reached for the button and pressed it. + +Suddenly, the box made a loud noise. It opened and a lot of smoke came out. Tom and Anna coughed and covered their eyes. They heard a voice from the box. It was scary and angry. + +"Who dares to disturb me? I am the rotten king of the box. I have been sleeping for a hundred years. Now I will make you rot too!" + +Tom and Anna were frightened. They ran away from the box as fast as they could. They did not stop until they reached their house. They told their mom what happened. She hugged them and said they were safe. + +"Never touch a button you don't know, especially if it has a sign you can't read," she said. + +Tom and Anna nodded. They learned their lesson. They never played with the box again. They were happy to play with their own toys and candy and books. +Lily liked to do yoga with her mom. Yoga was when they made funny shapes with their bodies and breathed slowly. Lily felt happy and calm when she did yoga. + +One day, Lily and her mom were doing yoga in the living room. They had a mat on the floor and a video on the TV. The video showed a lady who told them what shapes to make. Lily and her mom followed the lady. + +Suddenly, the phone rang. It was a loud and annoying sound. Lily's mom said, "I have to answer the phone, Lily. You keep doing yoga, okay?" She got up and went to the kitchen. + +Lily nodded and stayed on the mat. She tried to do yoga by herself, but it was hard. She missed her mom. She looked at the TV. The lady was still talking, but Lily could not hear her well. She wondered who was on the phone. + +She decided to go and see. She got up and walked to the kitchen. She saw her mom holding the phone to her ear. She looked sad and scared. She was crying. + +Lily felt worried. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Who is on the phone?" + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "It's your grandma, Lily. She called to tell me that your grandpa is dead. He was very sick and he went to sleep and he did not wake up." + +Lily did not understand. She asked, "Dead? What is dead?" + +Her mom said, "Dead is when someone stops breathing and living. They go to a place where we can't see them or talk to them anymore. They are gone forever." + +Lily felt sad and confused. She said, "But I love grandpa. I want to see him and talk to him. Can we go and wake him up?" + +Her mom said, "No, Lily. We can't. He is not sleeping. He is dead. We can only remember him and love him in our hearts." + +Lily cried. She said, "I don't like dead. Dead is bad. I want grandpa back." + +Her mom cried too. She said, "I know, Lily. I don't like dead either. I want grandpa back too. But we can't change what happened. We can only be together and help each other. We can do yoga and think of grandpa. He liked yoga too. He would want us to be happy and calm." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, mom. Let's do yoga and think of grandpa. I love you and I love grandpa." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love grandpa. Come on, let's go back to the living room and finish our yoga. Maybe the lady on the TV will make us smile." + +They wiped their tears and went back to the mat. They did yoga and thought of grandpa. They felt sad and happy at the same time. They felt closer to each other and to grandpa. They felt alive. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to swim in the pond near their house. They had a lot of fun splashing and playing in the water. One day, they saw a new fence around the pond. It had a sign that said "No swimming". + +"Who put this fence here?" Lily asked. "This is our pond!" + +"Maybe someone else owns it now," Tom said. "Maybe they don't want us to swim here." + +Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They wanted to swim in the pond. They decided to climb over the fence and swim anyway. + +They were having a good time, until they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you kids! Get out of my pond!" It was a man who lived in a big house near the pond. He was very rude. He came out of his house and ran towards them. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They quickly got out of the pond and ran back to the fence. + +"Sorry, mister," Tom said. "We didn't know it was your pond." + +"You should have read the sign," the man said. "This is my pond, and you are not allowed to swim here. Go away and don't come back!" + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They climbed over the fence and ran back to their house. They wished they could swim in the pond again. They hoped the man would change his mind and let them swim. But they also knew they had to respect his rules. They learned a lesson that day. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big ball that could roll and bounce. Ben had a small car that had a zipper on the back. He could open and close the zipper and put things inside the car. + +"Can I play with your ball, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. Then you have to give it back," Lily said. + +Ben took the ball and rolled it on the floor. He liked how it moved and made noise. He rolled it faster and faster, until it hit the wall and bounced back. He caught it and laughed. + +Lily watched Ben and felt sad. She wanted her ball back. She liked her ball more than anything. She decided to take Ben's car while he was busy with the ball. She grabbed the car and opened the zipper. She saw a small teddy bear inside. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Ben shouted. He dropped the ball and ran to Lily. He tried to take the car from her, but she held it tight. + +"No, it's mine now! You have my ball!" Lily said. + +They both pulled and tugged on the car, until the zipper broke. The teddy bear fell out and landed on the floor. They both stopped and looked at the broken car and the teddy bear. + +They felt sad and sorry. They had ruined their toys and their fun. They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry." + +They hugged and said, "I'm sorry, too." + +They picked up their toys and decided to share. They rolled the ball and drove the car together. They put the teddy bear inside the car and closed the zipper. They smiled and played happily. +Sam liked to play with his guitar. He had a red guitar that made loud sounds when he hit the strings. He liked to sing songs with his guitar and pretend he was a rock star. + +One day, Sam saw a big, hairy dog in his yard. The dog was barking and wagging his tail. Sam was scared of the dog. He ran inside and told his mom. + +Mom said, "Don't be afraid, Sam. The dog is friendly. He belongs to our new neighbor. His name is Max. He likes music too. Maybe you can play with him and your guitar." + +Sam was not sure. He liked his guitar, but he did not like big, hairy dogs. He hid behind his mom and peeked at the dog. + +Mom said, "Why don't you give Max a chance, Sam? He might be a good friend. He just wants to say hello. Can you accept him?" + +Sam thought for a moment. He saw that Max was not mean. He was just excited. He saw that Max had a collar with a guitar on it. He saw that Max was looking at him with big, brown eyes. + +Sam decided to be brave. He took his guitar and walked slowly to the door. He opened it and said, "Hi, Max. Do you want to play with me and my guitar?" + +Max wagged his tail and licked Sam's face. He barked happily and followed Sam to the yard. They played and sang songs together. Sam and Max became good friends. Sam learned to accept Max, and Max learned to love Sam's guitar. +Lily and Max were playing with magnets. They liked to stick them on the fridge and make shapes and patterns. Lily had a big magnet that was red and blue. Max had a small magnet that was yellow and green. + +"Look, Lily, I can make a star with my magnet," Max said, showing her his magnet. + +"That's nice, Max, but I can make a flower with my magnet," Lily said, showing him her magnet. + +They both smiled and stuck their magnets on the fridge. + +Then, Lily had an idea. She saw a paint box on the table. She took it and opened it. There were many colors inside. + +"Let's paint our magnets, Max," Lily said. "Then they will be more pretty and attractive." + +"OK, Lily, that sounds fun," Max said. He took a paint brush and dipped it in the paint. + +They started to paint their magnets with different colors. They mixed and matched the colors and made their magnets look like rainbows. They were very happy and proud of their work. + +They put their magnets back on the fridge and admired them. + +"Wow, Lily, our magnets are so beautiful and attractive now," Max said. + +"Yes, Max, they are. And they are still strong and stick together," Lily said. + +They hugged each other and continued to play with their magnets and paint. They had a lot of fun and learned new things. +Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play with their toys and share their snacks. One day, Sara finds a big box in the garage. She thinks it is a good place to hide and have fun. + +She calls Ben and says, "Come, I have a surprise for you. It is in the garage." Ben follows her and sees the box. He is curious and excited. He asks, "What is it?" Sara says, "It is a secret. You have to close your eyes and get in the box with me." + +Ben trusts Sara and does what she says. He closes his eyes and crawls into the box. Sara closes the flap and says, "Now we are in a spaceship. We can go to the moon and see the stars." Ben likes the idea and says, "Wow, that sounds cool. Can we take my teddy bear with us? He is loyal and soft." + +Sara says, "Of course, we can. He is your friend and he can keep us warm." She reaches out and grabs the teddy bear from Ben's backpack. She puts it in the box and hugs it. She says, "Now we are ready to blast off. Hold on tight, Ben. Three, two, one, go!" + +The box shakes and makes noises. Sara and Ben pretend they are flying in the sky. They laugh and talk and have a lot of fun. They do not mention the time or the noise or the garage. They only mention the moon and the stars and their loyal teddy bear. They are happy in their box spaceship. They are best friends. +Lily liked to write. She wrote on paper, on walls, on books, on toys. She wrote her name, her numbers, her shapes, her colors. She wrote all the time, even when she should not. + +One day, Lily wrote on her mom's dress. It was a white dress with flowers. Lily wrote "Lily" with a red pen. She thought it was pretty. But her mom did not. Her mom was very angry. She said, "Lily, you are naughty! You ruined my dress! You have to say sorry and help me clean it!" + +Lily felt bad. She did not want to make her mom angry. She said sorry and tried to help. But the red pen did not come off. The dress was still ruined. Lily cried. She wished she had not written on the dress. + +Then, Lily saw something shiny. It was an angel. The angel had wings, a halo, and a smile. The angel said, "Lily, I am here to help you. I know you like to write, but you have to be polite. You have to ask before you write on something that is not yours. You have to respect other people's things. You have to learn from your mistake and do better next time." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Thank you, angel. I will be polite. I will ask before I write. I will respect other people's things. I will learn from my mistake and do better next time." + +The angel smiled. She said, "Good girl, Lily. I am proud of you. Here, I have a gift for you." The angel gave Lily a new dress. It was a white dress with flowers. But it also had words on it. The words said, "Lily is a polite writer. She loves her mom." Lily was happy. She hugged the angel and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +The angel hugged her back and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a polite writer. You love your mom. And your mom loves you. Now, go and show her your new dress. And remember, be polite when you write." + +Lily ran to her mom and showed her the new dress. Her mom was surprised and happy. She said, "Lily, what a beautiful dress! Where did you get it?" Lily said, "The angel gave it to me. She said I am a polite writer. She said I love you. And you love me." Her mom hugged her and said, "Yes, Lily, you are a polite writer. You love me. And I love you. And I am sorry I was angry at you. I forgive you for writing on my dress. Let's go and have some cake." + +Lily and her mom had some cake. They were happy. Lily learned to be polite when she wrote. And she never wrote on something that was not hers again. The end. +Lily was a nosy girl. She liked to look at everything and ask many questions. One day, she saw a big box in the living room. She wanted to know what was inside. + +She walked to the box and tried to open it. But the box was heavy and hard to move. She pushed and pulled, but the box did not budge. She felt frustrated and angry. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" her brother Tom asked. He came into the living room and saw Lily struggling with the box. He knew what was inside. It was a surprise for their mom's birthday. + +"Go away, Tom. I want to see what's in the box," Lily said. She did not listen to her brother. + +"Stop it, Lily. You can't open the box. It's not for you. It's for mom. And it's fragile. You might break it," Tom warned. He tried to stop Lily from touching the box. + +But Lily did not care. She was too nosy. She kicked the box with her foot. She hoped to make a hole in it. But the box was strong and solid. It did not break. Instead, Lily hurt her toe. She cried out in pain. + +"Ow, ow, ow! My toe, my toe!" she wailed. She held her foot and hopped around. + +Tom felt sorry for his sister. He ran to her and hugged her. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't want you to get hurt. But you should have listened to me. The box is not for you. It's for mom. And it's a special gift. It's a vase with flowers. Mom loves flowers. She will be happy when she sees it." + +Lily felt ashamed. She realized she was wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was nosy. I should have listened to you. I didn't mean to ruin the surprise. Can you forgive me?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Of course, I forgive you. You are my sister. I love you. But next time, please be careful. And don't be so nosy." + +Lily nodded and said, "I love you too, Tom. And I won't be so nosy. I promise." + +They hugged and made up. They decided to wait for mom together. They hoped she would like the gift. And they hoped she would not notice the dent on the box. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to build things with blocks, cars, and screws. They had a big box of screws that they found in the garage. They used them to make wheels, towers, and bridges. + +One day, they saw a hairy animal outside the window. It was brown and furry, with a long tail and big ears. It looked like a big squirrel, but it was not a squirrel. It was a raccoon. The raccoon saw the box of screws and wanted to play with them too. It climbed up the window and pushed it open. + +Ben and Lily were scared of the raccoon. They ran to their mom and dad, who were in the kitchen. They told them about the hairy animal that came into the living room. Mom and dad went to see what was going on. They saw the raccoon playing with the screws, making a mess. + +Mom and dad shooed the raccoon away. They closed the window and locked it. They cleaned up the screws and put them back in the box. They told Ben and Lily that the raccoon was not a bad animal, but it was not a pet. It belonged in the woods, not in the house. + +Ben and Lily learned a new word that day. They learned that the hairy animal was called a raccoon. They also learned that they should not let the raccoon play with their screws. They decided to keep their screws in a safe place, where the raccoon could not reach them. They still liked to build things with their toys, but they also liked to watch the raccoon from a distance. They thought it was funny and cute, but they did not want it to come inside again. +Jill and Ben liked to play in the big house. They liked to gather things and make forts with the furniture. They liked to hide from Mom and Dad and pretend they were in a different world. + +One day, they found a weird door in the basement. It was small and round and had a lock on it. They wondered what was behind it. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. + +"Maybe we can open it with something else," Jill said. "Let's go get some tools from Dad's workshop." + +They ran upstairs and gathered some tools. They took a hammer, a screwdriver, and a wrench. They went back to the basement and tried to open the door. + +They banged and twisted and pulled, but the door did not budge. They made a lot of noise. They did not hear Mom and Dad coming down the stairs. + +"What are you two doing?" Mom asked, surprised and angry. "You are making a mess and ruining the door!" + +Jill and Ben dropped the tools and looked at Mom and Dad. They felt scared and sorry. They did not know that the door was special. They did not know that it was a secret. + +"Mom, Dad, we are sorry," Jill said. "We just wanted to see what was behind the door. It looked weird and interesting." + +Mom and Dad sighed and hugged them. They were not too mad. They knew that Jill and Ben were curious and adventurous. + +"Come on, let's go upstairs and have some cookies," Dad said. "We will tell you a story about the door. It is a very old and important door. It has a history and a mystery. But you must never try to open it again. It is not safe." + +Jill and Ben nodded and followed Mom and Dad. They still wondered what was behind the door, but they also wanted to hear the story. They hoped it was a good one. +Sara was a small girl who liked to draw. She had many colors and papers to make pictures. She drew flowers, animals, houses and people. She was happy when she showed her pictures to her mom and dad. They said she was very good at drawing. + +One day, Sara saw a big picture on the wall at school. It was made by an older boy. He drew a dragon with fire and wings. Sara thought the picture was amazing. She wanted to draw like him. She asked him how he did it. He said he practiced a lot and learned from books and teachers. + +Sara decided to practice too. She took her colors and papers and tried to draw a dragon. But it was hard. Her dragon looked funny and messy. She was sad and angry. She threw her papers away and said she hated drawing. + +Her mom saw her and asked her what was wrong. Sara told her she wanted to draw a dragon but she couldn't. Her mom hugged her and said she understood. She said drawing was a skill that took time and effort to improve. She said Sara had a good hand for drawing and she should not give up. She said she could help her find books and teachers to learn from. She said she was proud of Sara for trying. + +Sara felt better and thanked her mom. She picked up her papers and looked at them again. She saw some things she liked and some things she could change. She asked her mom to help her find a book about dragons. She said she wanted to practice more and improve her drawing. She said she loved drawing. Her mom smiled and said she loved her. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +They held on to the branches and moved up. Lily was faster than Tom. She reached the top and looked around. She saw birds and clouds and houses. She was happy. + +"Tom, come here! It is so pretty!" she called to her brother. + +Tom tried to follow her, but he was scared. He did not like to be so high. He felt the wind and heard the creaks. He wanted to go down. + +He grabbed a twig and pulled. But the twig was weak and broke. Tom lost his balance and fell. He screamed. + +Lily heard Tom scream and looked down. She saw him on the ground. He was not moving. She was scared. + +"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" she shouted. + +She climbed down as fast as she could. She ran to Tom and shook him. He opened his eyes and groaned. He had a bump on his head and a scratch on his arm. + +"Lily, I fell. It hurt," he said. + +Lily hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I should not have made you climb. Let's go find Mom and Dad. They will make you feel better." + +They walked to the bench where their parents were sitting. They saw them and ran to them. They told them what happened. Their parents were worried and angry and sorry. + +They checked Tom's head and arm and gave him a band-aid and a kiss. They said, "You are brave, Tom. But you should be careful. Climbing trees is dangerous. Next time, play on the swings or the slide. They are safer and more fun." + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "Okay, Mom and Dad. We love you." + +They hugged their parents and smiled. They learned their lesson. They did not climb trees anymore. They played on the swings and the slide and had fun. +Ben liked to bounce on his bed. He bounced up and down, up and down, with his toy sword and hat. He pretended he was a pirate, sailing on the sea. He said, "Arrr, matey, I am the best pirate ever!" + +But his mom did not like it when he bounced on his bed. She said, "Ben, stop bouncing on your bed! You will break it and hurt yourself!" She was very angry and took away his sword and hat. She said, "No more pirate games for you today!" + +Ben was very sad and mad. He did not want to stop bouncing and playing. He thought his mom was terrible. He said, "I hate you, mom! You are a mean pirate!" He ran to his closet and slammed the door. + +But in his closet, he found something. He found a big ball. It was red and shiny and bouncy. He smiled and said, "Wow, a new toy!" He took the ball and bounced it on the floor. It bounced high and low, high and low. He said, "This is fun! I can bounce this ball and still be a pirate!" + +He bounced the ball out of his closet and into his room. He bounced it on the walls and the ceiling and the door. He said, "Arrr, matey, this is my cannon ball! I can shoot it at anyone who tries to stop me!" He bounced it harder and faster, making loud noises. + +But his mom heard the noises and came to his room. She saw him bouncing the ball everywhere. She said, "Ben, what are you doing? You are making a mess and a racket! Stop bouncing that ball right now!" She was very angry and took away his ball. She said, "No more bouncing for you today! You are in big trouble, young man!" + +Ben was very sad and mad. He did not want to stop bouncing and playing. He thought his mom was terrible. He said, "I hate you, mom! You are a worse pirate than me!" He ran to his bed and cried. +One day, a person named Ben wanted to do a puzzle. He liked puzzles a lot. He had a big puzzle with many pieces. He opened the box and put the pieces on the floor. + +But Ben was a slow person. He did not know how to find the pieces that fit together. He tried to match the colors and the shapes, but he got confused. He did not do the puzzle fast. He did it very slow. + +His friend Sam came to visit him. Sam saw the puzzle on the floor. He said, "Can I help you do the puzzle, Ben?" Ben said, "Yes, please. I do not do it well. I do it slow." + +Sam was a fast person. He knew how to do puzzles. He looked at the box and the pieces. He said, "Look, Ben. This piece goes here, and this piece goes there. See how they fit?" He showed Ben how to do the puzzle. He did it very fast. + +Ben watched Sam do the puzzle. He learned from him. He said, "Thank you, Sam. You do the puzzle very well. You do it fast. You are a good friend." Sam said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend, too. You do not give up. You do it slow, but you do it." They smiled and hugged. They finished the puzzle together. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a big mountain near their home. They wanted to climb it and see what was on top. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "It will be fun!" + +Lily was not sure. The mountain looked very high and steep. She was afraid of falling or getting lost. + +"Tom, I'm scared," Lily said. "What if we can't come back?" + +Tom hugged his sister and tried to comfort her. He was brave and kind. + +"Don't worry, Lily," Tom said. "We will be careful and stick together. And look, there is a path that leads to the top. Maybe we will find something nice there." + +Lily felt a little better. She trusted her brother and wanted to be brave too. She nodded and took his hand. + +They started to climb the mountain, following the path. They saw many things on the way: flowers, birds, rocks, and trees. They also saw a deer that ran away when they came close. It was very graceful and fast. + +"Wow, did you see that?" Tom said. "It was so pretty!" + +Lily smiled and agreed. She was glad they came. The mountain was not so scary after all. + +They reached the top of the mountain and saw a beautiful view. They could see their home, the lake, the fields, and the sky. They felt happy and proud. + +"We did it, Lily!" Tom said. "We climbed the mountain!" + +Lily hugged her brother and thanked him. + +"Thank you, Tom," Lily said. "You are the best brother ever!" + +They sat on the grass and ate some snacks they brought. They enjoyed the view and the breeze. They felt comfort and joy. They were twins who liked to explore. +Ben liked to whistle. He whistled when he played, when he ate, and when he went to bed. He whistled all kinds of songs, from happy ones to sad ones. He whistled so much that his mom and dad sometimes asked him to be quiet. + +One day, Ben was whistling in the park with his friend Lily. They were running and jumping and having fun. But then, Ben tripped on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and it started to bleed. He cried out loud and stopped whistling. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She said, "Don't cry, Ben. I will help you." She took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped his knee. She said, "You are very brave, Ben. You will be okay soon." + +Ben looked at Lily and smiled. He felt better. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You are my best friend." He tried to whistle again, but it sounded funny. He laughed and said, "I think I need some water." + +Lily laughed too and said, "Me too. Let's go to the fountain." She helped him stand up and they walked to the fountain. They drank some water and washed his knee. They felt refreshed and happy. They whistled together again and continued to play. They were not troubled anymore. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fought over them. One day, they both wanted the same red car. Lily grabbed it first, but Ben tried to take it from her. + +"Mine!" Lily shouted. "I saw it first!" + +"No, mine!" Ben yelled. "I want it now!" + +They pulled and pulled, but neither of them let go. Then Ben got angry and pushed Lily hard. Lily fell down and hit her head on the floor. She started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily sobbed. "Ben hurt me!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily on the floor and Ben holding the red car. She was upset with Ben. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Mom asked. "Why did you push your sister?" + +Ben looked down and felt sorry. He knew he was wrong. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Ben said. "I wanted the car, but Lily had it." + +Mom picked up Lily and hugged her. She checked her head and saw a small bump. She kissed it and made it better. + +"Lily, are you okay?" Mom asked. "Does it hurt a lot?" + +Lily sniffed and nodded. She was still sad. + +"Ben pushed me," Lily said. "He was mean." + +Mom looked at Ben and said, "Ben, you need to say sorry to Lily. And you need to share your toys. Pushing is not nice. It can hurt people." + +Ben walked over to Lily and gave her the red car. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. Do you want to play with the car?" + +Lily looked at Ben and the car. She saw that he was sorry. She smiled and said, "Okay, Ben. Thank you. We can play together." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good. I'm glad you made up. Now, who wants a meal? I made your favorite, mac and cheese." + +Lily and Ben cheered and said, "Me, me, me!" + +They followed Mom to the kitchen and sat down at the table. They ate their meal and talked about their toys and books. They were happy again. +Lily was a bossy girl. She liked to tell her friends what to do and play. She did not like to share or listen. She wanted to be the leader of everything. + +One night, Lily had a dream. She dreamed that she was a queen. She had a big crown and a long dress. She had many people who did what she said. She was very happy. + +But then, something bad happened. A big dragon came to her castle. It was angry and loud. It breathed fire and smoke. It wanted to take her crown and dress. Lily was very scared. She did not know what to do. + +She looked for help. But she saw that her people were not happy. They were tired and sad. They did not like her bossy ways. They did not want to help her. They wanted to run away. + +Lily felt alone and sorry. She wished she had been nicer and kinder. She wished she had shared and listened. She wished she had been a good friend. + +She woke up from her dream. She saw that it was morning. She heard her friends outside. They were playing and laughing. They were having a march. They had flags and drums. + +Lily got up and ran to them. She said sorry for being bossy. She asked if she could join them. They said yes and smiled. They gave her a flag and a drum. They let her march with them. + +Lily was happy. She learned a lesson. She decided to be a better friend. She decided to have fun and dream. +One day, a big bird named Ollie was very sad. He was an ostrich, and he loved to run fast and play with his friends. But he hurt his leg when he stepped on a sharp rock. He could not run or play anymore. He had to stay in his nest and rest. + +His friends came to visit him and brought him some food and water. They told him stories and jokes to make him happy. They said, "Don't worry, Ollie. Your leg will get better soon. You will be healthy and strong again." + +Ollie thanked his friends and ate the food and drank the water. He felt a little better, but he still missed running and playing. He wished he could restore his leg and have fun again. + +One morning, he woke up and felt something different. He looked at his leg and saw that it was not swollen or red anymore. It did not hurt when he moved it. He was so happy, he jumped out of his nest and ran around. He felt his leg was restored and he was healthy again. + +He saw his friends and called them. They were happy to see him too. They ran and played with him all day. They said, "We are glad you are healthy, Ollie. You are the fastest and the funniest ostrich we know." + +Ollie smiled and said, "Thank you, friends. You are the best. You helped me restore my leg and my happiness." +Anna loved to sing. She sang all day long. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang happy songs, sad songs, silly songs, and loud songs. She sang so much that her voice became dry and sore. She needed to drink water, but she did not want to stop singing. + +One day, she saw a shiny toy in the store. It was a microphone that made her voice sound funny and echoey. She wanted it very much, but it was expensive. Her mom said she could not buy it. Anna was sad and angry. She decided to sing even more to show her mom how much she loved singing. + +She sang all the way home. She sang in the car, in the house, in the yard, and in the bath. She sang so much that her voice became very dry and very sore. She tried to drink water, but it did not help. She could not sing anymore. She could only whisper. + +She cried and cried. She missed her voice. She missed her songs. She wished she had listened to her mom and drank more water. She realized that singing was a gift, not a toy. She learned that she had to take care of her voice, not abuse it. + +The next day, her mom took her to the doctor. The doctor gave her some medicine and some advice. He said she had to rest her voice for a week, drink lots of water, and eat healthy food. He said she could sing again, but not too much or too loud. He said she had a beautiful voice, and she should cherish it. + +Anna nodded and smiled. She thanked the doctor and her mom. She was happy and grateful. She decided to sing only when she felt happy, sad, silly, or loud. She decided to sing with her heart, not with her toy. She decided to sing a song of love, not of anger. She decided to sing a song of joy, not of sorrow. She decided to sing a song of life, not of dryness. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big, shiny gum on the ground. Sara wants to eat it, but Ben says no. + +"Yuck, Sara, that gum is old and dirty. It can rot your teeth and make you sick. We should throw it away," Ben says. + +"But it looks so yummy and sweet. And it is purple, my favorite color. Please, Ben, let me have it," Sara begs. + +Ben shakes his head. He loves his sister, but he knows better. He is a humble boy who listens to his mom and dad. They always tell him to brush his teeth and avoid bad things. + +"Sorry, Sara, but I can't. You can have some of my candy instead. I have some in my pocket. They are fresh and tasty. And they are also purple," Ben says. + +He takes out a small bag of candy and gives some to Sara. Sara smiles and thanks him. She forgets about the gum and enjoys the candy. They share and hug and play some more. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They are good twins who care for each other. They do not want to rot their teeth or their hearts. They are humble and sweet, like their candy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They also liked to look for things. Sometimes they found leaves, rocks or bugs. + +One day, they saw something shiny under a bush. They went closer and saw a saw. It was big and sharp. They wondered who left it there. + +"Maybe it is a tool for cutting trees," Lily said. + +"Maybe it is a toy for making shapes," Ben said. + +They decided to take the saw and play with it. They pretended to cut grass, flowers and sticks. They had fun, but they did not know that the saw was dangerous. + +A man was looking for his saw. He was a carpenter and he needed it for his work. He had left it under the bush when he went to get some water. He was angry when he did not find it. + +He saw Lily and Ben playing with his saw. He ran to them and shouted. + +"Hey, that is my saw! Give it back to me! You should not play with it. It can hurt you!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know that the saw belonged to someone. They thought they had found a hidden treasure. + +They dropped the saw and said sorry. + +"We did not know it was yours. We thought it was fun. We are sorry," Lily said. + +The man was glad that they were not hurt. He took his saw and explained to them. + +"This is not a toy. This is a tool. I use it for making things with wood. It is very sharp and can cut you. You should never touch it. You should only play with safe things." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They felt bad for taking the saw. + +They asked the man if he was mad at them. + +The man smiled and said no. + +"I am not mad at you. I am happy that you are okay. But you should be careful and ask before you take something. And you should return it when you are done." + +Lily and Ben agreed. They said thank you and goodbye to the man. They learned a lesson. They went back to play with their own toys. They did not touch the saw again. +Tommy likes to dive in the bathtub. He fills it with water and bubbles. He puts on his goggles and swimsuit. He pretends he is a fish in the sea. + +He dives under the water and sees many things. He sees a rubber duck, a toy boat, a sponge and a soap. He says hello to them and plays with them. He makes bubbles with his mouth and nose. + +He hears his mom call him. She says it is time to get out of the bathtub. He dives one more time and says goodbye to his friends. He comes out of the water and smiles. He is wet and happy. + +He wraps himself in a towel and hugs his mom. She says he is a good boy and a humble diver. He says thank you and kisses her. He goes to his room and puts on his pajamas. He is ready for bed and dreams of diving in the bathtub again. +Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat something delicious. She saw a belt on the floor. It was brown and shiny. She thought it was a snake. She liked snakes. She picked up the belt and opened her mouth. + +"Stop!" Mommy shouted. "That is not a snake. That is a belt. Belts are not for eating. They are for holding up pants. If you bite the belt, you will hurt your teeth and your tummy." + +Lily looked at Mommy. She was confused. She did not understand why belts were not for eating. She thought they looked tasty. She wanted to try a bite. + +"But Mommy, I am hungry. And the belt looks delicious. Can I have a bite, please?" Lily asked. + +Mommy shook her head. She smiled and hugged Lily. She took the belt from her hand and put it away. She said, "No, Lily, you cannot have a bite of the belt. But I have something else for you. Something that is really delicious and good for you. Do you want to see?" + +Lily nodded. She was curious. She followed Mommy to the kitchen. Mommy opened the fridge and took out a bowl. She said, "Look, Lily, I made you some fruit salad. It has apples, bananas, grapes, and strawberries. They are sweet and juicy and colorful. You can have a bite of each one. Do you want some?" + +Lily's eyes lit up. She loved fruit salad. She said, "Yes, Mommy, I want some. Thank you, Mommy. You are the best." She took a spoon and scooped up some fruit salad. She put it in her mouth and chewed. It was delicious. She smiled and said, "Mmm, this is much better than the belt. The belt is not delicious. The fruit salad is delicious. I want more, please." + +Mommy laughed and said, "You are welcome, Lily. I am glad you like it. You can have more, but not too much. You have to save some room for dinner. We are having pizza tonight. Do you like pizza?" + +Lily nodded. She liked pizza too. She said, "Yes, Mommy, I like pizza. Pizza is delicious too. But not as delicious as you. You are the most delicious." She gave Mommy a big hug and a kiss. + +Mommy kissed her back and said, "I love you, Lily. You are the most delicious too. And the most sweet and smart and brave. You are my little princess. Now, let's finish our fruit salad and get ready for dinner. OK?" + +Lily said, "OK, Mommy. I love you too. You are my queen. And the belt is not a snake. It is a belt. And belts are not for eating. They are for holding up pants. Right?" + +Mommy said, "Right, Lily. You are very clever. Now, let's eat." +Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat some soup. Mommy made soup for lunch. It was hot and smelled good. + +"Here you go, Lily. Be careful, the soup is hot. Blow on it first," Mommy said. + +Lily took a spoon and blew on the soup. She put the spoon in her mouth. The soup was yummy. It had carrots and noodles and chicken. + +"Yum, yum, yum. I like soup, Mommy. Thank you," Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it. Do you want some more?" Mommy asked. + +"Yes, please. More soup, please," Lily said. + +Mommy gave Lily more soup. Lily ate it all. She was full and happy. + +"Can I have some water, please?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. Here's your cup. Drink some water," Mommy said. + +Lily drank some water. She felt something tickle her nose. She sneezed. The water came out of her mouth and nose. It splashed on the table and on Mommy. + +"Oh, Lily. You're so silly. You made a mess," Mommy said. + +Lily giggled. She wiped her nose and mouth. She said sorry to Mommy. + +"It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. Don't worry. We'll clean it up. You made me laugh," Mommy said. + +Lily hugged Mommy. She said she loved her. + +"I love you too, Lily. You're my sweet and silly girl," Mommy said. +Lily and Tom were excited to see the fireplace in their grandma's house. They had never seen one before. They wanted to touch the fire and feel how warm it was. + +"Can we go near the fireplace, grandma?" Lily asked. + +"No, my dears, it is too dangerous. The fire can hurt you and burn your fingers. You have to stay away from it and play with your toys," grandma said. + +But Lily and Tom did not listen to grandma. They waited until she went to the kitchen and then they crept to the fireplace. They saw the fire dancing and crackling. They reached out their hands to touch it. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" they cried. The fire was very hot and it made their fingers red and sore. They ran to grandma and showed her their hands. + +"What did you do, my dears? Did you go near the fireplace?" grandma asked. + +"Yes, grandma, we did. We are sorry. We wanted to touch the fire, but it hurt us," Lily and Tom said. + +Grandma hugged them and put some cream on their fingers. She said, "I'm glad you are sorry, my dears. But you should have listened to me. I told you the fire was dangerous. You have to obey me and be careful. The fire is not a toy. It can keep you warm, but it can also hurt you. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, grandma, we understand. We regret going near the fireplace. We will not do it again. We love you, grandma," Lily and Tom said. + +Grandma smiled and said, "I love you too, my dears. Now, let's have some cookies and milk and read a story together." + +Lily and Tom nodded and followed grandma to the couch. They learned their lesson and never went near the fireplace again. They were happy and safe with grandma. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a shiny thing in the grass. It was a diamond! Sara picked it up and said, "Look, Tom, I found a diamond! It is so pretty and sparkly!" + +Tom wanted the diamond too. He said, "Give it to me, Sara, it is mine! I saw it first!" He tried to grab the diamond from Sara's hand, but she held it tight. + +"No, Tom, it is mine! I picked it up, and it is very special. You can't have it!" Sara said. She ran away from Tom, but he chased her. + +They ran and ran, until they reached the edge of the park. There was a busy road with many cars. Sara did not see the car that was coming fast. She ran across the road, still holding the diamond. Tom stopped and shouted, "Sara, stop! It is dangerous!" + +But it was too late. The car hit Sara, and she fell to the ground. The diamond flew out of her hand and rolled away. Tom ran to Sara and cried, "Sara, Sara, are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fight with you. Please, wake up!" + +But Sara did not wake up. She remained still and silent. The car driver got out and called for help. He was compassionate and said, "I'm so sorry, I didn't see her. She was too small and fast. Is she your friend?" + +Tom nodded and sobbed. He wished he had been compassionate too, and shared the diamond with Sara. He wished he had not been greedy and mean. He wished he had not lost his friend. He wished he had not found the diamond. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big box near the slide. They run to the box and look inside. + +"Wow, look at all the toys!" Anna says. She sees a doll, a car, a ball and a book. + +"Can we play with them?" Ben asks. + +Anna nods. "Yes, let's play. But we have to be careful. The box is high. We don't want to fall." + +They climb on the box and take out the toys. They have fun playing with them. They share and take turns. + +"Look, I can make the car go fast!" Ben says. He pushes the car on the ground. + +"Look, I can make the doll talk!" Anna says. She moves the doll's mouth. + +"Hello, I'm Daisy. Do you want to be my friend?" she makes the doll say. + +"Yes, we want to be your friends!" Ben and Anna say. + +They laugh and hug the doll. They are happy. They play until it is time to go home. They put the toys back in the box and say goodbye. + +"Thank you for the toys, box!" Anna says. + +"Thank you, box!" Ben says. + +They wave to the box and run to their mom. They tell her about their fun day. Mom smiles and nods. She is proud of them. She takes them home. They have a snack and a nap. They dream of the box and the toys. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, they find some dough on the table. It is soft and sticky. + +"Let's make a cake!" Sue says. + +"OK!" Tom says. + +They roll the dough and cut out shapes. They make stars, hearts, and circles. They put them on a tray. + +"Can we bake them?" Tom asks. + +Sue shrugs. She does not know. She sees a big oven. It is tall and hot. + +"Maybe we can use that," she says. + +She opens the oven door. She puts the tray inside. She closes the door. + +"Let's wait," she says. + +They sit on the floor. They wait and wait. They smell something good. + +"Is it ready?" Tom asks. + +Sue shrugs. She does not know. She opens the oven door. She sees the shapes. They are brown and crispy. + +"Wow!" she says. + +She takes out the tray. She puts it on the table.

They are friends. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and a wet nose. + +"Look, a dog!" Sara says. "Can we pet it?" + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is not nice. Maybe it will bite us." + +The dog hears them and comes closer. It wags its tail and sniffs them. It licks Sara's hand and Tom's face. It makes a happy sound. + +"See, it is harmless," Sara says. "It just wants to be our friend. It is a good dog." + +Tom smiles and pets the dog. He feels its soft fur and warm breath. He likes the dog too. + +"Hello, dog," he says. "What is your name?" + +The dog barks and jumps. It runs to a man who is sitting on a bench. The man has a bag of food. He opens the bag and gives the dog a piece of beef. + +"His name is Rex," the man says. "He is my dog. He loves beef and children.

"Maybe we can find something yummy to eat." + +"OK," Max agrees. "But we have to be quiet. Mommy is sleeping in her room." + +They tiptoe to the kitchen. They see a big bowl of fruit on the table. They climb on the chairs and reach for the fruit. + +Lily picks a yellow fruit. It looks like a banana, but it is not. She peels it and takes a bite. + +"Yuck!" she spits. "This fruit is sour!" + +Max laughs. He picks a red fruit. It looks like a strawberry, but it is not. He bites it and makes a face. + +"Ow!" he cries. "This fruit is spicy!" + +They hear a noise. It is Mommy. She comes to the kitchen and sees the mess. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. "These are not fruits. These are lemons and peppers. They are for cooking, not for eating." + +Lily and Max feel sorry. They say sorry to Mommy. Mommy is not angry. She hugs them and says they can have some cookies instead. + +They go to the living room and eat the cookies. They are sweet and crunchy. They are happy. They decide to not visit the kitchen again without Mommy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has black fur and sharp teeth. The dog barks at them. + +"Let's go away," Sue says. "The dog is dangerous." + +But Tom is not afraid. He likes dogs. He wants to pet the dog. + +"No, Sue," Tom says. "The dog is nice. Come with me." + +Tom walks to the dog. He smiles and holds out his hand. The dog growls and shows his teeth. Sue is scared. She sees the dog's eyes. The eyes are angry. + +"Tom, stop!" Sue shouts. "The dog will bite you!" + +But Tom does not listen. He follows the dog. The dog runs away. Tom runs after the dog. Sue runs after Tom. + +"Tom, come back!" Sue cries. "The dog is not your friend!" + +But Tom does not hear her. He follows the dog. The dog leads him to a dark alley. Sue follows them. She sees the dog's friends. There are many dogs. They are all big and black and dangerous. They surround Tom. They snarl and snap at him. + +"Help!" Tom screams. "Sue, help me!" + +Sue is brave. She picks up a stick. She waves it at the dogs. She yells at them. + +"Go away!" Sue says. "Leave Tom alone!" + +The dogs are afraid of Sue. They run away. Sue runs to Tom. She hugs him. She is angry and sad. + +"Tom, you are silly," Sue says. "Why did you follow the dog? He was dangerous. He could have hurt you." + +Tom is sorry. He is scared and hurt. He has scratches and bites on his arms and legs. He cries. + +"I'm sorry, Sue," Tom says. "I was wrong. The dog was not nice. He was mean. You are my friend. You saved me." + +Sue smiles. She is glad Tom is okay. She helps him get up. She holds his hand. + +"Come on, Tom," Sue says. "Let's go home. We need to tell your mom. She will make you better." + +Tom nods. He follows Sue. He thanks her. + +"Sue, you are brave," Tom says. "You are the best friend ever." +One day, a group of ducks went to the pond to swim and play. They saw a big fish in the water and wanted to make friends with it. They quacked hello and asked the fish to join them. + +But the fish was not nice. It said, "Go away, you silly ducks. You are too small and slow for me. I only like big and fast fish like me. You are terrible and boring." + +The ducks felt sad and hurt by the fish's words. They did not want to swim and play anymore. They lay on the grass and cried. They wished they had a better friend. + +Then, they heard a soft voice say, "Hello, ducks. I am a turtle. I live in the pond too. I heard what the fish said to you. He was very mean and rude. You are not terrible and boring. You are lovely and fun. I like you. Can I be your friend?" + +The ducks looked up and saw the turtle smiling at them. They felt happy and surprised. They wiped their tears and said, "Yes, turtle. You can be our friend. You are very kind and sweet. We like you too. Come and swim and play with us." + +The turtle nodded and followed the ducks to the water. They swam and played together and had a lot of fun. They forgot about the fish and his words. They were glad they found a new friend. They learned that being nice is better than being big and fast. +Jenny liked summer. She liked to play outside with her ball. She liked to kick the ball high and far. She liked to run after the ball and kick it again. + +One day, she saw a boy playing with a ball too. He was bigger than Jenny. He kicked his ball very hard. He kicked it so hard that it hit Jenny's ball and made it roll away. + +"Hey, that's my ball!" Jenny said. She ran to get her ball back. She did not like the boy. + +The boy laughed. He ran to Jenny's ball and kicked it again. He kicked it over the fence. He did not care about Jenny. + +"That's not nice!" Jenny said. She was angry and sad. She wanted her ball back. She did not want to play with the boy. + +Jenny was independent. She did not need the boy. She climbed over the fence and got her ball back. She kicked it hard and far. She kicked it away from the boy. + +She found a new place to play. She found a girl who liked to kick the ball too. They played together and had fun. They were friends. + +Jenny liked summer. She liked to play outside with her ball. She liked to kick the ball high and far. She liked to run after the ball and kick it again. She liked to play with her friend. She was happy. +Tommy was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of toys, but his favorite was a wool bear that his grandma gave him. The wool bear was very soft and cuddly, and Tommy always slept with it at night. + +One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom and dad. He brought his wool bear with him, because he wanted to show it to his friends. He was very happy and proud of his wool bear. But when he got to the park, he saw a big dog running towards him. The dog was very fast and loud, and it had sharp teeth and claws. + +Tommy was scared of the dog, and he tried to run away. But he dropped his wool bear on the ground, and the dog saw it. The dog thought the wool bear was a real bear, and it wanted to play with it. The dog grabbed the wool bear in its mouth, and ran away with it. + +Tommy cried and cried, and his mom and dad tried to comfort him. They looked for the dog and the wool bear, but they could not find them. The dog had taken the wool bear to its home, which was an ancient house that nobody lived in. The dog tore the wool bear apart, and made a mess of the wool. + +Tommy never saw his wool bear again, and he was very sad. He learned a hard lesson that day: he should not take his precious things to places where they could get lost or hurt. He should keep them safe and cherish them. He also learned to be careful of big dogs, and to recognize when they are friendly or not. He wished he had listened to his grandma, who told him to be careful with his wool bear. He missed his grandma and his wool bear very much. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. + +One day, they decide to have a race with their cars. They choose a long road and a big bridge. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars as fast as they can. They want to see who is the first to cross the bridge. + +Tom's car is red and shiny. It is very fast and loud. Sam's car is blue and old. It is not very fast, but it is quiet and smooth. Tom and Sam cheer for their cars and watch them zoom along the road. + +But then, something happens. Tom's car hits a bump and flies off the road. It lands on the floor with a crash. Tom is sad and angry. He says, "No, no, no! My car is broken!" + +Sam's car keeps going and reaches the bridge. It crosses the bridge and wins the race. Sam is happy and proud. He says, "Yay, yay, yay! My car is the best!" + +Tom looks at Sam and his car. He feels sorry for himself. He says, "Your car is not the best. It is just lucky. My car is faster and better. It is rare. You don't have a rare car." + +Sam looks at Tom and his car. He feels sorry for him. He says, "Your car is not rare. It is just red. I have a red car too. See, it is over there. It is not broken. You can play with it if you want." + +Tom looks at Sam's red car. He sees that it is similar to his car, but not broken. He feels a little better. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. Can we share our cars and play together?" + +Sam smiles and nods. He says, "Yes, Tom. We can share our cars and play together. We don't need to race. We can have fun." + +Tom and Sam hug and make up. They pick up their cars and go back to their road and bridge. They play with their cars and have fun. They don't care about who is faster or who is rare. They care about who is kind and who is a friend. They learn a new word: share. They like this word. It is a good word. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with books. They have many books with pictures and words. Lily likes books with animals. Ben likes books with cars and trucks. + +One day, they find a new book on the shelf. It is big and yellow. It has a funny face on the cover. Lily and Ben want to see what is inside. They open the book and turn the pages. + +The book is full of jokes and riddles. Lily and Ben read them and laugh. They try to guess the answers. Some are easy and some are hard. They have fun with the book. + +On one page, they see a picture of a cow. The cow has a big smile. Under the picture, there is a question: Why did the cow smile? Lily and Ben think hard. They do not know why the cow smiled. + +They look at the bottom of the page. There is a small word. It says: Answer. Lily and Ben turn the page to see the answer. They see another picture of the cow. The cow is still smiling. But now, the cow has a flower on its head. The answer says: Because it was in a moo-d. + +Lily and Ben laugh out loud. They think the joke is very funny. They like the cow and the flower. They like the book. They smile at each other and keep reading. They are happy. +Tom and Anna are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be different animals. Tom has a toy phone that can ring. He likes to ring it and talk to his friends. + +"Hello, this is Tom. Who is this?" he says into the phone. + +"Hi, Tom. This is your lawyer. I have some important news for you," a voice says from the phone. + +Tom is confused. He does not know what a lawyer is. He thinks it is a funny word. + +"What is a lawyer?" he asks. + +"A lawyer is someone who helps you with the law. The law is a set of rules that everyone has to follow. Do you understand?" the voice says. + +Tom shakes his head. He does not understand. He thinks the law is another funny word. + +"No, I don't understand. What do you want?" he says. + +"I want to tell you that you have won a lot of money. You are very lucky. You can buy anything you want with the money. Do you want to know how much money you have won?" the voice says. + +Tom's eyes widen. He likes money. He likes to buy things. He wants to know how much money he has won. + +"Yes, please. How much money?" he says. + +The voice says a very big number. Tom does not know how to count that high. He thinks it is a lot of money. + +"Wow, that is a lot of money. Thank you, lawyer. What can I buy with the money?" he says. + +"You can buy anything you want, Tom. You can buy more toys, more clothes, more candy, more books, more anything. You can also share the money with your family and friends. They will be very happy for you. Do you want to share the money?" the voice says. + +Tom nods. He is a good boy. He likes to share. He thinks of Anna. She is his best friend. He wants to share the money with her. + +"Yes, I want to share the money. I want to share the money with Anna. She is my best friend. Can I give her some money?" he says. + +"Of course, you can, Tom. You can give her as much money as you want. She will be very happy. You are very kind, Tom. I am proud of you," the voice says. + +Tom smiles. He is very happy. He wants to tell Anna the good news. He turns to Anna and holds the phone. + +"Anna, Anna, guess what? I have won a lot of money. A lawyer told me. He is on the phone. Do you want to talk to him?" he says. + +Anna looks at Tom. She does not believe him. She thinks he is joking. She thinks a lawyer is a silly word. She thinks the phone is a toy. + +"Tom, stop being silly. That is not a real phone. That is a toy phone. There is no one on the phone. There is no lawyer. There is no money. You are making it up. You are being loud and silly," she says. + +Tom is sad. He does not like Anna's words. He thinks she is being mean. He thinks she does not want to be his friend. He thinks she does not want to share the money. + +"No, Anna, I am not being silly. I am telling the truth. This is a real phone. There is a real lawyer. There is real money. I want to share the money with you. I want to be your friend. Why are you being mean?" he says. + +Anna shakes her head. She does not want to listen to Tom. She thinks he is lying. She thinks he is trying to trick her. She thinks he is being loud and annoying. + +"Tom, go away. I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to talk to your lawyer. I don't want your money. I don't want to be your friend. You are being loud and annoying. Leave me alone," she says. + +Tom is hurt. He does not like Anna's words. He does not like Anna's face. He does not like Anna's voice. He does not like Anna anymore. He drops the phone and runs away. He cries. + +The phone rings again. The lawyer is still on the phone. He is waiting for Tom. He is worried about Tom. He wants to help Tom. + +"Tom, Tom, are you there? Are you okay? What happened? Where are you?" he says. + +But no one answers. The phone is on the floor. The phone is alone. The phone is sad. The end. +Tom is a little boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a big truck, a red ball, and a soft bear. He likes to make the truck go vroom, to throw the ball high, and to hug the bear tight. + +One day, Tom sees a new thing in his yard. It is a furry thing with four legs and a long tail. It is not a dog or a cat. It is a raccoon. Tom is curious. He wants to see the furry thing better. + +He puts down his toys and walks to the window. He stares at the furry thing. The furry thing stares back at him. They stare at each other for a long time. Tom thinks the furry thing is cute. He wonders what it is doing in his yard. + +The furry thing is hungry. It smells something good in Tom's trash can. It wants to find some food. It jumps off the stand where it was sitting and runs to the trash can. It knocks it over and makes a big mess. + +Tom hears the noise and gets scared. He runs to his mom and tells her what he saw. His mom comes to the window and sees the furry thing. She is not happy. She tells Tom to stay inside and she goes out to chase the furry thing away. She cleans up the trash and puts the lid back on the trash can. + +Tom watches from the window. He feels sorry for the furry thing. He hopes it finds some food somewhere else. He picks up his toys and plays with them again. He still likes the furry thing, but he does not want it to come back to his yard. He thinks it is better to stay away from wild animals. +Lily and Max were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. Lily had a big hat and a magnifying glass. Max had a flashlight and a walkie-talkie. + +"Max, do you copy?" Lily said into her walkie-talkie. "I found something in the closet." + +"Repeat, Lily, repeat. I can't hear you well," Max said. He was hiding under the bed. + +Lily opened the closet door and saw a big box. It had a ribbon and a tag. She read the tag. It said: "To Lily and Max, from Grandma and Grandpa. Do not open until your birthday." + +Lily gasped. She forgot that their birthday was next week. She wanted to see what was inside the box. She grabbed the ribbon and pulled. + +"Stop, Lily, stop!" Max shouted. He crawled out from under the bed and ran to the closet. "We can't open it. It's a surprise." + +"But I want to know what it is," Lily said. She pouted. + +"Me too, but we have to wait. Grandma and Grandpa will be sad if we peek. Come on, let's play something else," Max said. He took Lily's hand and led her away from the closet. + +Lily sighed. She looked at the box one more time. She wondered what it was. Maybe a toy, or a book, or a puzzle. She hoped it was something fun. She decided to wait until their birthday. She smiled at Max and followed him. They were spies, after all. They liked surprises. +Lila likes to bathe in the rain. She puts on her yellow boots and her red coat and runs outside. She feels the raindrops on her face and hair. They are wet and cold and make her giggle. + +She sees a big puddle on the grass. She jumps in it and splashes the water. She hears a quack and looks around. She sees a duck swimming in the puddle. The duck has a smooth and shiny feather. Lila wants to touch it. + +She walks slowly to the duck and says hello. The duck says quack and swims away. Lila follows the duck and tries to catch it. The duck is fast and smart. It goes under a bush and hides. Lila looks for the duck and finds it. She reaches out her hand and touches the duck's feather. It is smooth and soft and warm. + +The duck does not like it. It bites Lila's finger and makes her cry. Lila lets go of the duck and runs back to the house. She is sad and hurt and wet. She wants her mom to hug her and kiss her. + +Her mom sees her and opens the door. She takes off Lila's boots and coat and dries her with a towel. She puts a band-aid on Lila's finger and gives her a cup of hot chocolate. She tells Lila that ducks do not like to be touched. They are wild animals and need their space. She says Lila can watch the ducks from afar and enjoy their beauty. + +Lila nods and hugs her mom. She feels better and learns a lesson. She still likes to bathe in the rain, but she does not touch the ducks. She says sorry to the duck and waves goodbye. The duck says quack and swims away. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a toy gun that could shoot little balls. They pretended to be hunters and looked for animals to shoot. + +One day, they saw a huge pig in a clearing. It was eating some apples from a tree. Tom and Sam got excited and ran towards it. They wanted to shoot the pig and make it run away. + +"Look, a pig!" Tom shouted. "Let's shoot it!" + +"No, wait!" Sam said. "Maybe it's someone's pig. Maybe it's not nice to shoot it." + +But Tom did not listen. He aimed his toy gun at the pig and pulled the trigger. The ball hit the pig on the nose. The pig squealed and looked angry. It saw Tom and Sam and started to chase them. + +Tom and Sam were scared. They ran as fast as they could, but the pig was faster. It caught up with them and knocked them down. It bit their legs and made them cry. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Sam screamed. "The pig is hurting us!" + +A farmer heard their cries and came to the clearing. He saw the pig and the boys. He recognized the pig as his own. He was very angry with Tom and Sam. + +"What are you doing here?" he yelled. "Why did you shoot my pig? He is a good pig. He gives me meat and milk. He is my friend. You are bad boys. You should not shoot animals for fun. You should be sorry." + +Tom and Sam felt ashamed. They apologized to the farmer and the pig. They promised to never shoot animals again. They learned their lesson. + +The farmer forgave them and helped them up. He gave them some bandages for their wounds. He also gave them some apples to eat. He told them to be kind to animals and respect them. He said animals have feelings too. + +Tom and Sam thanked the farmer and the pig. They ate the apples and felt better. They decided to play something else in the woods. They never shot animals again. They became friends with the pig. They were happy. +Jill and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they found a big apple on a tree. It looked incredible. It was red and shiny and smelled good. + +"Let's pick it and eat it!" Jill said. + +"OK!" Tom said. + +They climbed the tree and reached for the apple. But when they touched it, it was soft and brown. It had a hole with worms inside. It was rot. + +"Yuck!" Jill and Tom said. They dropped the apple and climbed down. + +They felt sad and hungry. They wished they had a good apple to eat. + +Then they saw a lady with a basket. She had many apples in it. They were fresh and green and smelled good. + +"Hello, children. Do you want an apple?" the lady said. She smiled and gave them each an apple. + +"Thank you, lady!" Jill and Tom said. They took the apples and bit them. They were sweet and juicy and crunchy. + +They felt happy and full. They thanked the lady again and gave her a hug. + +"You're welcome, children. Enjoy your apples. And remember, don't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, the best things are not the ones that look incredible, but the ones that are good inside." the lady said. + +Jill and Tom nodded and smiled. They learned a lesson. They decided to be more careful and kind. They shared their apples with their friends and played in the park. They had a good day. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Me first!" Lila says. She runs to the slide. She climbs up the steps. She sits on the slide. She slides down fast. She laughs. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He runs after Lila. He climbs up the steps. He sits on the slide. He slides down fast. He laughs. + +They do it again and again. They have fun. + +But then they see a boy. He is bigger than them. He has a big weight in his hand. He looks mean. + +"Go away!" the boy says. He puts the weight on the slide. He blocks the slide. He does not let Lila and Ben slide. + +Lila and Ben are sad. They do not like the boy. They want to slide. + +They have an idea. They wait for the boy to look away. They run to the slide. They jump on the weight. They spring the weight off the slide. The weight flies in the air. It lands on the grass. + +The boy is surprised. He is angry. He chases the weight. + +Lila and Ben are happy. They slide again. They are lively. They smile. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Tom was very bossy. He always told Lily what to do and where to put the blocks. Lily did not like that. She wanted to play her own way. + +"Put this block here, Lily," Tom said. "It will make the tower taller." + +"No, Tom," Lily said. "I want to put it here. It will make the house prettier." + +"You are wrong, Lily," Tom said. "You have to listen to me. I am the boss of the blocks." + +Lily felt angry. She did not want to listen to Tom. She wanted to ignore him. She turned away from him and played with her own blocks. + +Suddenly, they felt the floor shake. The blocks fell down. The pictures on the wall moved. The lamp made a loud noise. It was an earthquake! + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know what to do. They looked at each other and hugged. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asked. + +They nodded. They felt the floor stop shaking. They heard their mom call them. + +"Tom! Lily! Come here! It's okay. It was just a small earthquake. Don't worry." + +Tom and Lily ran to their mom. They hugged her too. They felt safe. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I was too bossy. You can play with the blocks however you want." + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "I was too angry. You can be the boss sometimes." + +They smiled. They were friends again. They went back to the living room and played with the blocks together. They shared and helped each other. They had fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. Tom opened a drawer and found a shiny necklace. He showed it to Lily and said, "Look, I found a treasure!" + +Lily looked at the necklace and said, "That's not a treasure, that's fake. It's Mommy's necklace. She wears it sometimes when she goes out." + +Tom did not believe her. He said, "No, it's not fake, it's real. It's very pretty and sparkly. I want to keep it." + +Lily said, "You can't keep it, Tom. It's not yours. It's Mommy's. You have to put it back." + +Tom said, "No, I don't. I found it, so it's mine. Go away, Lily. You're not my friend." + +Lily was sad and angry. She said, "Fine, Tom. You're not my friend either. You're a mean and greedy spy. I'm going to tell Mommy what you did." + +She ran out of the room and went to find Mommy. Tom did not care. He put the necklace around his neck and smiled. He thought he was very clever and lucky. + +But he was not. Mommy came back to the room and saw Tom with the necklace. She was very upset and angry. She said, "Tom, what are you doing with my necklace? That's not a toy, that's a very special and expensive necklace. Daddy gave it to me for our anniversary. How did you get it?" + +Tom was scared and ashamed. He did not know what to say. He knew he had done something very bad. He tried to hide the necklace, but it was too late. Mommy saw it and took it from him. She said, "Tom, you are in big trouble. You lied and stole and hurt your sister. You have to say sorry to Lily and to me. And you have to go to your bed and think about what you did. No more playing for you today." + +Tom cried and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I don't want the necklace. I want to be your friend." + +But Mommy and Lily did not listen. They were too sad and angry. They left Tom alone in his room. Tom felt very lonely and sorry. He wished he had not taken the necklace. He wished he had listened to Lily. He wished he had been a good spy and a good brother. But it was too late. He had made a big mistake and he had to pay for it. He had a very bad ending. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a sign that said "Picnic Area". They wanted to have a picnic. + +"Let's go to the picnic area," Anna said. "We can bring some food and a blanket." + +"OK," Ben said. "But we have to ask our moms first." + +They ran to their moms, who were sitting on a bench. They asked if they could have a picnic. Their moms said yes, but they had to be careful and stay close. + +Anna and Ben took some sandwiches, apples, and juice from their moms. They also took a blanket and a ball.

"We are friendly. Do you want to jog with us?" + +The dog stops barking. He wags his tail. He sniffs Sara and her dad. He licks Sara's face. Sara giggles. + +"He is gentle," Sara says. "He likes us. Can we jog with him?" + +"Sure," her dad says. "But we have to ask his owner first. Maybe he is looking for him." + +They jog with the dog until they find a man. The man is happy to see his dog. He thanks Sara and her dad for finding him. + +"His name is Max," the man says. "He is a good dog, but he likes to run away sometimes. He loves to jog, too." + +"Can we jog with Max again?" Sara asks. + +"Of course," the man says. "You can be his friends. He likes gentle kids like you." + +Sara smiles. She hugs Max and says goodbye. She and her dad jog home.

Those are for the cows, not for the horses! You are wasting my oats! Go away!" + +Mia and Ben are scared. They drop the bucket and run away. The farmer chases them. The horses are sad. They want more oats. + +Mia and Ben hide behind a tree. They are sorry. They did not know the oats were for the cows. They hope the farmer will not be mad at them. They hope the horses will not be hungry. They hope they can still play in the farm. They hug each other and wait. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a hose and a bucket. They fill the bucket with water and take turns to water the plants. + +"Be gentle, Ben," Lily says. "Don't spray too hard. The plants need water, not a shower." + +Ben nods and turns the hose down. He likes to see the water drip from the leaves and flowers. He thinks they look happy and shiny. + +Suddenly, they hear a voice from the house. It is Mom. + +"Kids, time to pay the hose!" she calls. "We have to give it back to Mr. Lee. He lent it to us for today." + +Lily and Ben run to the house with the hose and the bucket. They see Mom waiting for them with a plate of cookies. + +"Thank you for playing nicely with the hose," Mom says. "Mr. Lee was very kind to let us use it. Do you know how we can pay him?" + +Lily and Ben think for a moment. Then they have an idea. + +"Can we give him some cookies?" they ask. + +Mom smiles and nods. + +"That's a great idea," she says.

He said it was his ball and his game. He laughed at Lily and Tom. He said they were silly and boring. + +Lily and Tom felt miserable. They did not like Ben. They wanted to play with their own toys and snacks. But Ben took them away. He said they were his toys and his snacks. He said he was the boss of the park. He made Lily and Tom cry. + +Then, a big dog came to the park. It saw Ben's ball. It wanted to play with it. It ran towards Ben. It barked loudly. Ben was scared. He dropped the ball and ran away. He did not look back. + +The dog took the ball and ran away too. It did not care about Ben. It only cared about the ball. + +Lily and Tom saw what happened. They felt sorry for Ben.

They had a big box with cups, spoons, and pretend ice cream. They liked to make ice cream for each other and for their dolls and teddies. + +One day, they decided to have a contest. Who could make the best ice cream? They took turns to choose a flavor and a topping. They put the pretend ice cream in the cups and added the topping. They gave their ice cream to their dolls and teddies and asked them to vote. + +Sam made chocolate ice cream with sprinkles. Lily made vanilla ice cream with cherries. Their dolls and teddies liked both ice creams. They said they were yummy and sweet. But they could not decide which one was better. They said they were both the same. + +Sam and Lily did not like that. They wanted to win. They became competitive. They wanted to make the best ice cream ever. They started to add more and more flavors and toppings. They put strawberry, banana, mint, and lemon ice cream in the cups. They added nuts, chocolate, marshmallows, and cookies. They made their ice cream very big and colorful. + +But their ice cream was too big and too messy. It did not look like ice cream anymore. It looked like cream. Their dolls and teddies did not want to eat it. They said it was too much and too weird. They said they liked the simple ice cream better. + +Sam and Lily realized they made a mistake. They said sorry to their dolls and teddies. They said they were silly and greedy. They decided to share their ice cream and have fun. They learned that playing together was better than competing. They hugged and smiled. They enjoyed their ice cream. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They run, jump and swing. They have fun. + +One day, they see a new slide at the park. It is big and shiny. Anna and Ben want to try it. They run to the slide. But there is a problem. The slide is too high for them. They cannot reach the top. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They want to slide. They look around. They see a big boy. He is tall and strong. He can reach the top of the slide. + +Anna and Ben have an idea. They go to the big boy. They say, "Hello, big boy. Can you help us? We want to slide, but we cannot reach the top. Can you lift us up, please?" + +The big boy looks at Anna and Ben. He smiles. He is polite. He says, "Sure, I can help you. I like to slide, too. Come, I will lift you up. But you have to wait your turn. And you have to say thank you." + +Anna and Ben nod. They are polite, too. They say, "OK, we will wait our turn. And we will say thank you." + +The big boy lifts Anna and Ben up. One by one, they slide down. They laugh and scream. They have fun. + +They say, "Thank you, big boy. You are nice. You are our friend." + +The big boy says, "You are welcome, Anna and Ben. You are nice, too. You are my friends." + +They play together. They slide, run, jump and swing. They have fun. +Sam likes to zoom his toy car on the floor. He makes it go fast and loud. He pretends he is a driver in a race. He zooms past the sofa, the table, and the chair. He zooms to the door and back. + +But then it is time for bed. Mom says he has to stop zooming and brush his teeth. Sam does not want to stop. He wants to zoom more. He says no to Mom. He cries and kicks. + +Mom is not happy. She picks up Sam and carries him to his room. She puts him in his bed and tucks him in. She says he has to sleep now. She says he can zoom again tomorrow. She kisses him good night and turns off the light. + +Sam is still mad. He does not want to sleep. He wants to zoom. He holds his toy car in his hand and squeezes it. He closes his eyes and pouts. + +But then he has a dream. He dreams he is in a big gray car. He dreams he is on a road with many other cars. He dreams he is zooming faster than all of them. He zooms past the trees, the hills, and the clouds. He zooms to the end of the road and wins the race. + +Sam smiles in his sleep. He likes his dream. He zooms in his dream. He is happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks, but Anna's favorite is a red car. Ben's favorite is a blue truck. + +One day, they go to the park with their cars and trucks. They find a big hill. They want to see who can make their car or truck go faster down the hill. They put their car and truck at the top of the hill and let them go. + +"Look, my car is faster!" Anna says. "It has more motion!" + +"No, my truck is faster!" Ben says. "It has bigger wheels!" + +They watch their car and truck roll down the hill. But then, something bad happens. Anna's car hits a rock and breaks. The wheel falls off and the car stops. Anna is sad. + +"Oh no, your car is broken!" Ben says. "I'm sorry, Anna." + +"It's okay, Ben. It was an old car. Maybe I can get a new one." Anna says. + +"A new car? But cars are expensive!" Ben says. "How will you get a new car?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. Then she has an idea. + +"Maybe I can improve my car!" she says. "I can use some glue and tape and fix the wheel. And I can use some stickers and paint and make it look nice. Then it will be like a new car!" + +"That sounds like a good idea!" Ben says. "Can I help you?" + +"Yes, please!" Anna says. "Let's go home and improve my car!" + +They pick up their car and truck and go home. They find some glue and tape and stickers and paint. They work hard to improve Anna's car. They fix the wheel and make it look nice. They are happy. + +"Wow, your car looks great!" Ben says. "It looks like a new car!" + +"Thank you, Ben! You are a good friend!" Anna says. "Now let's go back to the park and play with our car and truck!" + +They go back to the park with their car and truck. They find the hill again. They put their car and truck at the top of the hill and let them go. + +"Look, my car is faster!" Anna says. "It has more motion!" + +"And my truck is faster too!" Ben says. "It has bigger wheels!" + +They watch their car and truck roll down the hill. They are fast and fun. They laugh and cheer. They are happy. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big round slide that looked very fun. Ben wanted to go on the slide, but Lily was scared. She said it was too high and too fast. + +Ben said, "Don't be scared, Lily. It's not hard. I dare you to go on the slide with me. It will be fun, I promise." + +Lily looked at the slide and then at Ben. She did not want to be scared, but she also did not want to go on the slide. She said, "No, Ben. I don't want to go on the slide. I want to play on the swings. They are not high and not fast. They are just right for me." + +Ben said, "But the slide is more fun than the swings. The swings are boring. Come on, Lily. Be brave. I dare you to go on the slide with me. Just once. Please." + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, Ben. I don't want to go on the slide. I like the swings. They make me happy. You can go on the slide if you want, but I won't. We are different, Ben. And that's okay." + +Ben sighed. He said, "Okay, Lily. You can play on the swings. I will go on the slide. Maybe you will change your mind later. But I still dare you to go on the slide with me. Someday." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Maybe, Ben. Maybe someday. But not today. Today, I will play on the swings. And you will play on the slide. And we will both have fun. Because we are different, Ben. And that's okay." +Lily liked to play with her toy vehicles. She had cars, trucks, buses and a big red fire engine. She liked to make them zoom and beep and pretend they were going on adventures. Sometimes she would get them dirty with mud or paint or juice. Then she would have to wipe them clean with a cloth. + +One day, she decided to play with her fire engine in the garden. She pretended there was a fire in the flowers and the fire engine had to save them. She sprayed water from a bottle and made siren noises. She had a lot of fun, but she also made a big mess. The fire engine was wet and muddy and covered with petals. + +"Oh no, look at your fire engine!" her mom said when she came outside. "It's very dirty. You need to wipe it clean before you bring it inside." + +"But mom, it's too difficult!" Lily said. "It has so many parts and holes and stickers. I can't wipe them all." + +Her mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have an idea. Why don't we give your fire engine a bath? We can fill a bucket with warm water and soap and wash it together. Then we can dry it with a towel and make it shiny again." + +Lily liked that idea. She helped her mom carry the bucket and the soap and the towel. She put her fire engine in the water and scrubbed it with a sponge. She saw the dirt and the petals and the water go away. She rinsed it with clean water and wrapped it in the towel. She rubbed it until it was dry and bright. + +"Wow, mom, look at my fire engine!" she said. "It's so clean and pretty. Thank you for helping me." + +"You're welcome, Lily," her mom said. "You did a great job. Now you can play with it inside, but remember to be careful and not make it dirty again." + +Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She took her fire engine inside and put it on her shelf. She was happy to have a clean toy, but she also wondered what adventure she would have next. Maybe she would play with her cars or her trucks or her buses. Or maybe she would find another fire to put out. +Tom and Jen were playing with their toys in the yard. They liked to build towers and castles with blocks and stones. They did not see the dark clouds in the sky. They did not hear the wind blowing hard. + +"Look, Jen, I made a big castle!" Tom said. "It has a gate and a flag and a moat." + +"That's nice, Tom," Jen said. "But I made a bigger tower. It has windows and a roof and a star." + +They were proud of their toys. They did not want to share or help each other. They did not listen to their mom when she called them inside. + +"Tom, Jen, come in now!" their mom said. "There is a tornado coming. It is very dangerous. It can destroy everything." + +"No, mom, we want to play!" Tom and Jen said. "We worked hard on our toys. We don't want to leave them." + +They were stubborn and foolish. They did not know what a tornado was. They did not know how fearful it was. + +Soon, they saw a big, black, spinning thing in the sky. It was loud and scary. It was coming closer and closer to their yard. + +"Mom, mom, help!" Tom and Jen cried. "What is that? It is going to destroy our toys!" + +But it was too late. The tornado reached their yard. It picked up their toys and threw them away. It picked up Tom and Jen and threw them away too. They screamed and cried, but no one could hear them. They were gone. + +Their mom was sad and angry. She wished they had listened to her. She wished they had come inside. She wished they had been kind and humble. + +The moral of the story is: listen to your parents, they know what is best for you. Don't be proud and selfish, share and help others. Don't play with dangerous things, they can hurt you. +One day, a boy named Tom saw a big truck parked on the street. He liked trucks and wanted to see it closer. He ran across the road without looking for cars. A police officer saw him and yelled, "Stop! That is dangerous!" + +Tom was scared and did not stop. He ran to the truck and climbed inside. He saw many buttons and levers and started to push and pull them. He did not know what they did. He was ignorant. + +The truck started to move and make loud noises. It bumped into other cars and knocked over a trash can. The police officer chased the truck and called for backup. He was angry and worried. + +"Get out of the truck, now!" he yelled again. "You are in big trouble!" + +Tom heard the police officer and realized he made a mistake. He was sorry and wanted to get out. But he did not know how to stop the truck. He was trapped. + +The police officer managed to stop the truck with the help of other officers. He opened the door and pulled Tom out. He was not hurt, but he was very scared. + +"You are a very naughty boy," the police officer said. "You could have hurt yourself and others. You have to go to jail for a while and learn your lesson." + +Tom cried and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just wanted to see the truck. I did not mean to cause trouble. Please don't take me to jail." + +The police officer sighed and said, "I understand, but you have to face the consequences of your actions. You have to be more careful and respectful of the rules. You have to listen to people who know better than you. You have to be less ignorant and more smart." + +Tom nodded and said, "I will, I will. I will listen and learn and be smart. Please forgive me." + +The police officer took Tom to the police station and called his parents. They came and hugged him and thanked the officer. They were relieved and grateful that he was safe. They also scolded him and told him to never do that again. They said they loved him, but he had to be more responsible. + +Tom learned his lesson that day. He never ran across the road without looking again. He never climbed into a truck without permission again. He never ignored the police officer again. He became more careful and respectful and smart. He was happy and so were his parents and the police officer. +Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play in the lake with their dad. Dad had two kayaks, one red and one blue. He said they could choose which one they wanted to ride. + +"I want the red kayak!" Anna said. "It is light and fast!" + +"No, I want the red kayak!" Ben said. "It is bright and fun!" + +They both pulled the red kayak, but it did not move. They started to cry. + +"Hey, hey, stop that!" Dad said. "You can both ride the red kayak. It is big enough for two. Or you can take turns. Or you can try the blue kayak. It is also light and nice." + +Anna and Ben looked at the blue kayak. It was not as shiny as the red one, but it had a yellow star on it. They thought it was pretty. + +"Can we both ride the blue kayak?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, why not?" Dad said. "It is also big enough for two. And you can switch later if you want." + +Anna and Ben smiled. They let go of the red kayak and ran to the blue one. They climbed in and put on their life jackets. Dad pushed them into the water. + +"Have fun, kids!" Dad said. "Be careful and stay close!" + +Anna and Ben paddled the blue kayak. They saw fish and ducks and frogs. They sang songs and told jokes. They had a lot of fun. + +They forgot about the red kayak. They were happy with the blue one. They chose to share and be kind. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a big jug of water and a cup. She liked to pour water from the jug to the cup and back again. Ben had a ball and a basket. He liked to throw the ball into the basket and make a loud noise. + +Sara and Ben were happy until Ben's ball bounced too hard and hit Sara's jug. The jug fell over and spilled water all over the floor. Sara was angry and sad. She frowns and shouts at Ben. + +"Ben, you are bad! You made a mess! You broke my jug! Go away!" + +Ben was sorry and scared. He frowns and says to Sara. + +"Sara, I am sorry! I did not mean to! It was an accident! Please don't be mad!" + +But Sara did not listen. She turns away and hugs her cup. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. + +Ben feels lonely and sad. He picks up his ball and basket and goes to his room. He does not have anyone to play with. + +After a while, Sara feels bored and lonely too. She looks at her cup and thinks of Ben. She remembers how they used to play together and have fun. She feels sorry for being mean to Ben. She decides to go to his room and say sorry. + +She knocks on his door and opens it. She sees Ben sitting on his bed with his ball and basket. He looks sad and surprised. She smiles and says to Ben. + +"Ben, I am sorry! I was mean to you! It was an accident! Please don't be sad!" + +Ben smiles and says to Sara. + +"Sara, I am sorry too! I was careless with my ball! I made a mess! Please don't be angry!" + +Sara and Ben hug and forgive each other. They decide to play together again. They share their toys and help each other clean the mess. They are happy and friendly again. + +The moral of the story is: Accidents happen, but we should not let them ruin our friendship. We should say sorry when we make a mistake and forgive when someone hurts us. We should be kind and friendly to each other. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a red ball and a blue ball. They throw the balls and catch them. + +One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up the hill. They think it is fun. They take their balls and start to run. + +"Let's race!" Tom says. He runs fast with his red ball. Sam runs fast with his blue ball. They want to be the first to reach the top. + +They run and run. They take big steps and small steps. They breathe hard and sweat. They pass the trees and the flowers. They see the sky and the clouds. + +Tom is almost there. He sees a big rock. He wants to touch it. He thinks he will win. He takes one more step. + +But then, he trips. He falls down. His red ball rolls away. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Sam sees Tom fall. He stops running. He does not care about the rock. He cares about his friend. He runs to Tom. He helps him up. He gives him a hug. He gives him his blue ball. + +"It's okay, Tom. You are brave. You did well. I am sorry you fell. Do you want to share my ball?" Sam says. + +Tom smiles. He wipes his tears. He takes Sam's hand. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are kind. You are a good friend. I don't need the rock. I don't need the ball. I have you." + +They walk down the hill. They are happy. They are friends. They have each other. +Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to dig in the dirt and find things. Sometimes they found rocks, or worms, or shiny things. They had a tool to help them dig. It was a big spoon with a long handle. + +One day, they found something very strange. It was round and hard and had a hole in the middle. It was filthy and covered with dirt. They wondered what it was. + +"Maybe it is a ring for a giant," Lily said. + +"Maybe it is a wheel for a car," Ben said. + +They decided to take it to their dad. He was in the garage, working on his bike. They ran to him, holding the thing. + +"Dad, dad, look what we found!" they shouted. + +Dad looked at the thing. He smiled and whispered something in their ears. + +"Do you know what this is?" he asked. + +They shook their heads. + +"This is a coin," he said. "A very old and rare coin. It is worth a lot of money. You are very lucky to find it." + +He hugged them and praised them for their digging skills. He told them to wash the coin and keep it safe. He said he would take them to a museum to learn more about it. + +Ben and Lily were very happy and excited. They had found a treasure in their yard. They wondered what else they could find.
