But then she saw her little brother, Timmy, looking at her with sad eyes. She realized that she had taken the last muffin and there were none left for Timmy. + +Lily felt bad and said, "I'm sorry Timmy, I ate the last muffin. But thank you for reminding me to share." Lily learned that it's important to share and not be selfish. From that day on, Lily always made sure to share her muffins with her family. And when she saw someone else who didn't have a muffin, she would share with them too. +Lily was a good girl who liked to help her mom and dad. She always did her chores and shared her toys with her brother. One day, her mom told her they were going to visit her grandma, who lived far away. Lily was very happy, because she loved her grandma and wanted to give her a hug. + +Lily and her mom packed a bag with some clothes and a present for grandma. The present was a scarf that Lily had made with her mom. It was red and blue and soft and warm. Lily was proud of her present and hoped grandma would like it. + +They took a bus to the train station, where they met dad. He had bought tickets for the train that would take them to grandma's town. Lily was excited, because she had never been on a train before. She held dad's hand as they walked to the platform. There were many people and noises and smells. Lily felt a little scared, but dad told her not to worry. + +"Look, Lily, there's our train!" dad said, pointing to a long and shiny train that was coming. "We have to hurry and find our seats. Can you lead the way with your bag?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She felt brave and important. She lifted her bag and walked in front of dad and mom. She looked at the numbers on the doors and found the one that matched their tickets. She opened the door and went inside. She saw two seats by the window and put her bag on one of them. She sat down and looked out. She saw the train moving and the houses and trees and fields passing by. She felt happy and curious. + +"Wow, this is so fun!" Lily said. "Thank you, dad, for taking us on the train!" + +"You're welcome, Lily," dad said, sitting next to her and giving her a kiss. "You're a very good girl and a very good leader. You deserve this trip and this present for grandma. You're very lucky to have such a loving family." + +Lily hugged dad and mom and felt lucky and grateful. She thought about grandma and how happy she would be to see them and to get her present. She thought about how good it was to help and share and be kind. She thought about how much fun it was to try new things and learn new things. She closed her eyes and dreamed of more adventures with her family. + +The end. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play dress-up with their toys. Sara has a doll and Tom has a bear. One day, Sara finds a new suit for her doll. It is pink and shiny and has many flowers on it. + +"Look, Tom, I have a new suit for my doll!" Sara says. She shows Tom the suit. "It is very pretty, do you like it?" + +Tom nods. He likes the suit. It is different from his bear's suit. His bear's suit is brown and fuzzy and has buttons on it. "Can I touch it?" Tom asks. + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes to share, but she is afraid that Tom might break the suit. It is very delicate. It can tear or stain easily. "You can touch it, but be very careful," Sara says. "It is not strong like your bear's suit. It is delicate." + +Tom nods again. He is very careful. He touches the suit gently with one finger. He feels the smooth and soft fabric. He sees the shiny and bright colors. He smiles. "It is very nice," Tom says. "Thank you for showing me." + +Sara smiles too. She is happy that Tom likes the suit. She is also happy that Tom is careful. She knows that he is a good friend. She hugs her doll and Tom hugs his bear. They play dress-up together. They have fun. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play on the farm. The farm has many animals. Tom and Sue like to feed the animals and pet them. + +One day, Tom and Sue find a big ball. The ball is red and shiny. It can bounce very high. Tom and Sue want to play with the ball. + +"Let's bounce the ball," Tom says. + +"OK, I go first," Sue says. She takes the ball and throws it up. The ball bounces back to her. She catches it and laughs. + +"Wow, that looks fun," Tom says. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, here you go," Sue says. She gives the ball to Tom. Tom throws the ball up. The ball bounces back to him. He catches it and smiles. + +Tom and Sue take turns bouncing the ball. They have a lot of fun. The ball is easy to bounce. + +But then, something happens. Tom throws the ball too hard. The ball bounces over the fence. The ball lands in the pig pen. + +"Oh no, the ball!" Tom says. + +"Look, the pigs have it!" Sue says. + +The pigs see the ball. They think it is food. They run to the ball and try to bite it. The ball bounces away from them. The pigs chase the ball. They make loud noises. + +Tom and Sue are scared. They do not want to lose the ball. They do not want to go to the pig pen. + +"What do we do?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know," Sue says. + +They look at the ball. They look at the pigs. They look at each other. They do not know what to do. +One day, a chubby rhinoceros was walking in the jungle. He liked to eat the green leaves from the tall trees. He did not see the little monkey who was swinging on a vine. + +"Hey, rhinoceros, stop!" the monkey shouted. "You are eating my tree!" + +The rhinoceros looked up and saw the monkey. He did not care. He was hungry and the leaves were yummy. + +"No, I will not stop," the rhinoceros said. "This is my tree. Go find another one." + +The monkey was angry. He jumped on the rhinoceros's back and pulled his ears. The rhinoceros shook his head and tried to get rid of the monkey. + +"Ow, ow, ow, stop it, monkey!" the rhinoceros cried. "You are hurting me!" + +The monkey did not stop. He wanted the rhinoceros to leave his tree. He bit his tail and scratched his skin. + +"Ouch, ouch, ouch, stop it, stop it, stop it!" the rhinoceros screamed. + +Then, they heard a loud roar. It was a lion who was looking for lunch. He saw the rhinoceros and the monkey and licked his lips. + +"Yum, yum, yum, what a tasty snack!" the lion said. "A chubby rhinoceros and a naughty monkey!" + +The rhinoceros and the monkey were scared. They forgot their fight and ran away as fast as they could. + +"Help, help, help, run, run, run!" they shouted. + +They ran until they reached a river. They jumped in and swam to the other side. The lion could not follow them. He was angry and hungry. + +"Boo, boo, boo, I missed my snack!" the lion said. "I will find another one!" + +The rhinoceros and the monkey were safe. They looked at each other and sighed. + +"Sorry, rhinoceros, I was mean to you," the monkey said. "You can share my tree." + +"Sorry, monkey, I was greedy with you," the rhinoceros said. "You can have some of my leaves." + +They smiled and hugged. They learned to be friends and to share. They never fought again. +Ben likes to count. He counts his fingers, his toes, his toys, his books. He counts everything he sees. He counts when he wakes up, when he eats, when he plays, when he sleeps. + +One day, Ben goes to the park with his mom. He sees a big black bird on a tree. He wants to count it. He points to the bird and says, "One!" + +But the bird is not alone. It has a friend. The friend flies from another tree and lands next to the bird. Ben says, "Two!" + +Then, more birds come. They fly from the east, where the sun rises. They make loud noises. They fill the tree with black feathers. Ben tries to count them, but there are too many. He says, "Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...?" + +He looks at his mom. He asks, "How many birds are there?" + +His mom smiles. She says, "I don't know, Ben. There are too many to count. Maybe you can count something else." + +Ben looks around. He sees a red ball, a yellow flower, a blue car, a green leaf. He says, "Okay, mom. I will count something else. But I still like the black birds. They are pretty." + +He counts the ball, the flower, the car, the leaf. He counts everything he sees. He counts when he wakes up, when he eats, when he plays, when he sleeps. He likes to count. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play at the ranch. The ranch had many animals, like cows, horses, and chickens. Tom and Sue liked to feed them, pet them, and watch them. + +One day, they saw a big fence with a sign that said "Do not jump". Tom was curious and wanted to see what was behind the fence. He said to Sue, "Let's jump over the fence and look. It will be fun." + +Sue was scared and said, "No, Tom. The sign says do not jump. Maybe there is something dangerous or bad behind the fence. We should listen to the sign and stay here." + +But Tom did not listen to Sue. He said, "You are a baby. I am brave. I will jump and show you." He ran to the fence and jumped over it. + +Sue waited for Tom to come back, but he did not. She heard a loud roar and a scream. She was very worried and ran to the fence. She looked over and saw a big lion with Tom in its mouth. The lion had escaped from a cage behind the fence. Sue cried and ran to get help. + +The ranch owner came and scared the lion away. He took Tom to the doctor. Tom was hurt and had to stay in the hospital for many days. He was sorry for not listening to the sign and to Sue. He learned his lesson. + +Sue visited Tom and brought him a bright balloon. She was happy that he was alive, but sad that he was hurt. She said, "Tom, I am your friend. I want you to be safe and happy. Next time, please listen to the signs and to me. They are there to help you, not to stop you from having fun." + +Tom nodded and said, "You are right, Sue. You are a good friend. I was foolish and reckless. I will listen to you and to the signs from now on. Thank you for saving me and for bringing me this balloon. It makes me smile." + +Tom and Sue hugged and smiled. They were still friends who liked to play at the ranch, but they were also more careful and respectful. They learned that jumping over fences can be dangerous and that listening to signs and friends can be wise. +Lily and Max are playing with their toy cars in the yard. They like to make noises and pretend they are driving fast. Lily has a red car and Max has a blue car. + +"Look, Lily, I can pick up my car and fly it in the air!" Max says. He lifts his car and makes it zoom over the grass. + +"That's fun, Max, but I can pick up my car and make it jump over the fence!" Lily says. She throws her car and it lands on the other side of the fence. + +"Oh no, Lily, your car is gone!" Max says. He runs to the fence and looks for the car. + +Lily follows him and sees her car on the road. A big truck is coming and it hits her car. The car breaks into pieces and makes a loud noise. + +"Your car is a wreck, Lily, I'm sorry!" Max says. He feels sad for his friend. + +Lily starts to cry. She liked her car very much. She hugs Max and says, "It's okay, Max, it was an accident. You are a good friend." + +Max hugs her back and says, "Don't cry, Lily, we can get you a new car. You are a smart girl and you can pick any car you want." + +They go back to the yard and look for another toy car. They find a yellow car and Lily likes it. She picks it up and says, "This is my new car, Max, thank you!" + +They smile and play with their cars again. They are careful not to throw them over the fence. They have fun and are happy. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals and plants. They liked to feed the chickens and pet the cows. They also liked to pick some fruits and vegetables from the garden. + +"Look, mom, I found a big squash!" Lily said, holding a yellow and green squash in her hands. + +"That's great, Lily. You can make a soup with it later," mom said. + +"Can I have one too?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben. There are many squashes in the garden. You can choose one you like," dad said. + +Ben ran to the garden and looked for a squash. He saw a very big one, bigger than Lily's. He wanted to have it, but it was too heavy for him. He tried to pull it, but it did not move. He tried to push it, but it did not budge. He tried to roll it, but it did not roll. + +He had an idea. He saw a rope near the fence. He decided to attach the rope to the squash and to the fence. He thought he could drag the squash with the rope. He tied one end of the rope to the squash and the other end to the fence. He pulled the rope with all his strength. + +But the rope was not strong enough. It snapped and broke. The squash bounced back and hit Ben in the head. Ben fell down and felt dizzy. He saw stars and birds around his head. He cried out loud. + +Mom, dad, and Lily heard Ben's cry and ran to him. They saw him lying on the ground with a big bump on his head and a big squash next to him. + +"Ben, are you okay?" mom asked, hugging him. + +"Ow, ow, ow. My head hurts," Ben said, rubbing his head. + +"What happened, Ben?" dad asked, looking at the rope and the fence. + +"I wanted to have the big squash, but it was too heavy. I tried to use the rope, but it broke. The squash hit me in the head," Ben said, sniffling. + +"Oh, Ben, you should have asked for help. You should not try to do things that are too hard for you. You could have hurt yourself or others," dad said, shaking his head. + +"I'm sorry, dad. I was greedy. I wanted to have the biggest squash," Ben said, feeling ashamed. + +"It's okay, Ben. We all make mistakes. But we have to learn from them. Next time, you should be happy with what you have and share with others. And you should always ask for help when you need it," dad said, smiling. + +"I will, dad. I will," Ben said, nodding. + +Mom gave Ben a kiss and a band-aid for his bump. Lily gave Ben a hug and a piece of her squash. Ben thanked them and smiled. He learned his lesson. He was happy with his family and his squash. +Tim and Kim are twins who like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon with a basket. A man is inside the basket. He says, "Hello, kids! Do you want to fly with me?" + +Tim and Kim are excited. They say, "Yes, please!" The man helps them get into the basket. He gives them helmets and says, "These are for safety. They have oxygen inside. Oxygen is what we breathe." + +The balloon goes up in the air. Tim and Kim see the trees, the houses, and the birds. They feel happy and free. They say, "Wow, this is fun!" + +The man says, "Do you want a snack?" He opens a bag and gives them some cookies. They are tasty. They say, "Thank you, mister!" + +The man says, "You're welcome, kids. But remember, don't take off your helmets. The air is thin up here. You need oxygen to stay healthy." + +Tim and Kim nod. They eat their cookies and enjoy the view. They don't want the ride to end. They say, "We love flying!" + +The man smiles. He says, "Me too. But we have to go back soon. The balloon needs gas. And your parents are waiting for you." + +He turns a knob and the balloon starts to go down. Tim and Kim say, "Bye, bye, sky!" + +The man says, "Bye, bye, kids! You were brave and good. I hope you had fun." + +They land in the park. The man helps them get out of the basket. He takes off their helmets and says, "Now you can breathe normally. How do you feel?" + +Tim and Kim say, "We feel great! Thank you for the ride. And the cookies. And the oxygen." + +The man says, "You're welcome, kids. It was a pleasure. Have a nice day!" + +Tim and Kim run to their parents. They hug them and tell them about their adventure. They say, "We flew in a balloon! It was amazing!" + +Their parents say, "We're so proud of you! You're very lucky. Not many people get to fly in a balloon." + +Tim and Kim say, "We know. We're very happy. Can we do it again?" + +Their parents say, "Maybe someday. But for now, let's go home. We have more tasty cookies for you." + +Tim and Kim say, "Yay! We love cookies!" + +They hold hands and walk home. They think about the balloon and the sky. They say, "We love flying!" +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play at the beach. They had a big bucket and a small shovel to make sand castles. They also liked to splash in the water and look for shells and stones. + +One day, they saw something shiny on the shore. They ran to see what it was. It was a necklace with a blue stone that sparkled like the sea. Anna picked it up and put it around her neck. + +"Wow, you look like a princess!" Ben said. + +"Thank you, Ben. Do you think someone lost it?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it came from a pirate ship or a mermaid," Ben said. He wondered who the necklace belonged to and how it got there. + +They decided to keep the necklace as a secret treasure. They hid it under a big rock and covered it with sand. They agreed to come back the next day and play with it again. + +The next day, they woke up early and asked their mom to take them to the beach. It was a mild day, with a gentle breeze and a warm sun. They packed their bucket and shovel and ran to the shore. + +They looked for the big rock where they hid the necklace. But they could not find it. The sand was smooth and flat, as if someone had swept it clean. + +"Where is it? Where is our necklace?" Anna cried. + +"Maybe someone took it. Maybe the pirate or the mermaid came back for it," Ben said. He felt sad and angry. + +They searched the shore for a long time, but they could not find any trace of their necklace. They gave up and went back to their mom, who was sitting on a towel with a book. + +"Did you have fun, kids?" she asked. + +"Not really," Anna said. + +"We lost our treasure," Ben said. + +Their mom looked surprised. She reached into her bag and pulled out something shiny. It was the necklace with the blue stone. + +"Is this your treasure?" she asked. + +They gasped and nodded. + +"Where did you find it?" Anna asked. + +"I found it yesterday, when I was cleaning up after you. It was under a rock, covered with sand. I thought it was very pretty, so I took it. I was going to give it back to you today, as a surprise. I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your secret," their mom said. + +She smiled and handed the necklace to Anna. + +"Here, you can have it. It looks better on you than on me. But next time, be careful with your things. You never know who might find them and take them away," she said. + +Anna and Ben hugged their mom and thanked her. They were happy to have their necklace back. They put it back around Anna's neck and went to play with their sand castles. They decided to share their treasure with their mom, and not to hide it anymore. They learned that some secrets are better to tell. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play together every day. One day, they went to the park with their moms. The park had a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a seesaw. Lily and Tom were very excited to try them all. + +They ran to the slide first. Lily climbed up the ladder and slid down. She laughed and said, "This is fun!" Tom wanted to slide too, but Lily did not let him. She said, "This is my slide. You can't have it." Tom felt sad and angry. He said, "That's not fair. You have to share." Lily said, "No, I don't. Go away." Tom went away and looked for another toy. + +He saw the swing. He sat on it and pushed with his feet. He swung higher and higher. He smiled and said, "This is fun!" Lily saw him and ran to him. She said, "I want to swing too. Give me your swing." Tom said, "No, you can't. You did not share your slide. You have to wait." Lily said, "No, I don't. I want it now." She pulled Tom off the swing and sat on it. Tom fell to the ground and cried. He said, "That's not nice. You hurt me." Lily said, "I don't care. Go away." Tom went away and looked for another toy. + +He found the sandbox. He picked up a shovel and a bucket. He dug and poured sand. He made a castle. He said, "This is fun!" Lily saw him and ran to him. She said, "I want to play with sand too. Give me your shovel and bucket." Tom said, "No, you can't. You did not share your slide or your swing. You have to find your own." Lily said, "No, I don't. I want yours." She grabbed his shovel and bucket and threw his castle down. Tom felt very sad and angry. He said, "That's not nice. You broke my castle." Lily said, "I don't care. Go away." Tom went away and looked for another toy. + +He saw the seesaw. He sat on one end and waited for someone to sit on the other end. He saw a girl who was new to the park. She had a big smile and a red dress. She said, "Hi, I'm Anna. Can I play with you?" Tom said, "Sure, you can. I'm Tom. Let's play on the seesaw." Anna said, "Okay, that sounds fun." She sat on the other end and they bounced up and down. They laughed and said, "This is fun!" Lily saw them and ran to them. She said, "I want to play on the seesaw too. Give me your seat." Tom said, "No, you can't. You did not share anything with me. You have to find your own." Lily said, "No, I don't. I want yours." She pushed Anna off the seesaw and sat on her seat. Anna fell to the ground and cried. She said, "That's not nice. You hurt me." Lily said, "I don't care. Go away." Tom said, "No, you go away. You are mean and selfish. You don't know how to play with others. You don't have any friends." Lily looked around and realized he was right. She saw that everyone was playing happily with someone else. She saw that no one wanted to play with her. She felt lonely and sad. She said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should have shared and been kind. Can I play with you?" Tom and Anna looked at her and said, "Maybe, if you promise to be nice and share. Do you promise?" Lily said, "Yes, I promise. I want to be your friend." Tom and Anna said, "Okay, then you can play with us. But you have to be fair and gentle. Do you understand?" Lily said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for giving me another chance." They smiled and said, "You're welcome. Let's play on the seesaw together." They played on the seesaw and had fun. Lily learned to share and be kind. She made new friends and was happy. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. If you want to have friends, you have to be friendly. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They liked to look at books and learn new words. They had a big book with many words and pictures. It was called a dictionary. + +"Look, Lily, this is a zebra. It has black and white stripes," Tom said, pointing at the picture. + +"I like zebras. They are pretty. Do they live in the zoo?" Lily asked. + +"Some do, but some live in a far place called Africa. It is very hot and dry there," Tom said. + +"Wow, Africa sounds fun. Can we go there someday?" Lily said. + +"Maybe, but we need a plane to go there. It is very far," Tom said. + +Just then, they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. + +"Hi, kids. Guess who is here?" she said. + +"Who, mom?" Tom and Lily said. + +"Your grandpa. He just arrived from his trip. He has a surprise for you," she said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the door. They loved their grandpa. He always told them stories and jokes. He also liked to travel and see new places. + +"Grandpa, grandpa!" they shouted, hugging him. + +"Hello, my darlings. I missed you so much. How are you?" he said. + +"We are good, grandpa. We were playing with the dictionary. We learned about zebras," Lily said. + +"That's wonderful. You are very smart. Do you want to see what I brought you from Africa?" he said. + +"Yes, yes, please!" Tom and Lily said. + +Grandpa opened his suitcase and took out two stuffed animals. One was a zebra and the other was a lion. + +"These are for you. They are from Africa. They are very soft and cuddly. They will keep you safe at night," he said. + +"Wow, thank you, grandpa. They are beautiful. We love them," Tom and Lily said. + +They hugged their grandpa and their new friends. They were very happy. They had a lot of questions for grandpa about Africa. They wanted to hear his stories. They knew he had many. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big fence. The fence is pale and has holes. Sara and Ben want to see what is behind the fence. + +They go to the fence and look through the holes. They see a dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a long tail and big ears. The dog sees Sara and Ben and barks. Sara and Ben are scared. They run away from the fence. + +"Are you okay?" Sara asks Ben. + +"Yes, I am okay. Are you okay?" Ben asks Sara. + +"Yes, I am okay. That dog was loud and mean," Sara says. + +They hug each other. They feel better. They go to the swings and have fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but they wanted more. One day, they saw a big toy store with many shiny and colorful toys. They asked their moms if they could go inside. + +"Okay, but only for a little while," their moms said. "And don't spend too much money." + +Tim and Sam ran inside the toy store and looked at all the toys. They saw cars, trains, dolls, balls, and puzzles. They also saw some unusual toys that looked like weapons. They had swords, guns, and knives that made loud noises and flashed lights. + +"Wow, these are cool!" Tim said. "Let's buy them and play with them." + +"Okay," Sam said. "But how much do they cost?" + +They looked at the price tags and saw that they were very expensive. They had to spend all their money to buy one weapon each. + +"Are you sure you want to buy these?" their moms asked. "You won't have any money left for other things." + +"Yes, we are sure," Tim and Sam said. "These are the best toys ever." + +They paid for their weapons and left the toy store. They went to the park and started to play with them. They pretended to fight each other and make loud noises. They thought they were having fun, but they were not. + +They soon got bored of their weapons. They saw that they could not do anything else with them. They could not build, create, or share with them. They also saw that other kids were playing with different toys and having more fun. They had cars, trains, dolls, balls, and puzzles that they could use in many ways. They could also play with each other and make friends. + +Tim and Sam felt sad and lonely. They wished they had not spent all their money on their weapons. They wished they had bought some other toys that were more fun and useful. They wished they had listened to their moms. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that weapons are not good toys. They learned that spending too much money on one thing is not smart. They learned that playing with other kids and sharing is better than fighting and making noise. + +They decided to give away their weapons and buy some other toys with their allowance. They also decided to say sorry to their moms and thank them for their advice. They became happier and friendlier after that. They made new friends and played with them. They had more fun with their toys. They never bought weapons again. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog is running and barking. Tom and Lily want to pet the dog. + +"Hello, doggy!" Tom says. He runs to the dog and tries to touch its head. The dog does not like that. It growls and shows its teeth. It bites Tom's pants. Tom feels pain and cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The dog bit me!" Tom shouts. He runs back to Lily. He shows her his pants. There is a hole in them. Lily is scared and sad. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" Lily asks. She hugs Tom and gives him a kiss. + +"I'm okay, Lily. But my pants are not okay. They are empty now. Look, there is nothing here." Tom points to the hole. + +"That's not good, Tom. We should tell your mom. Maybe she can fix your pants. Or get you new ones." Lily says. + +"Okay, Lily. Let's go find my mom. And stay away from that dog. He is mean and bad." Tom says. + +They hold hands and walk to the bench where Tom's mom is sitting. They tell her what happened. Tom's mom is angry and worried. She checks Tom's leg. There is no blood, only a red mark. She gives Tom a hug and a band-aid. She says she will talk to the dog's owner. She says she will get Tom new pants. She says she loves him. + +Tom feels better. He smiles and says he loves his mom. He says he loves Lily too. He says he does not love the dog. He says he will never pet a strange dog again. He says he will only pet his own dog, Spot. Spot is a small dog with white fur and black spots. Spot is friendly and gentle. He never bites anyone. He likes to lick Tom's face and wag his tail. Tom and Lily play with Spot. They are happy. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Anna has a phone toy. It can ring. Ben has a car toy. It can zoom. + +One day, they are playing in the park. Anna puts her phone toy on the bench. She goes to the slide. Ben sees the phone toy. He likes it. He takes it and puts it in his pocket. + +Anna comes back from the slide. She looks for her phone toy. She does not see it. She is sad. She asks Ben, "Where is my phone toy?" + +Ben says, "I don't know. Maybe you lost it." + +Anna says, "No, I did not lose it. I put it on the bench. Did you take it?" + +Ben says, "No, I did not take it. Why do you think I took it?" + +Anna says, "Because you have a big pocket. And I hear a ring. It is my phone toy. It is ringing in your pocket. Give it back to me. It is mine." + +Ben says, "No, it is not yours. It is mine. I found it. Finders keepers." + +Anna says, "That is not fair. You are a bad friend. You are a thief. I will tell the teacher." + +Ben says, "No, don't tell the teacher. She will be mad at me. Please don't tell." + +Anna says, "Then give me back my phone toy. And say sorry." + +Ben says, "Okay, okay. Here is your phone toy. I am sorry. I was wrong. Can we still be friends?" + +Anna says, "Yes, we can still be friends. But you have to be nice. And share. And tell the truth." + +Ben says, "I will. I promise. Can I play with your phone toy for a little bit?" + +Anna says, "Yes, you can. But only for a little bit. And then you have to give it back. And you can also play with my car toy. It can zoom." + +Ben says, "Thank you. You are a good friend. And you are tall. You can go on the big slide." + +Anna says, "You are welcome. You are a good friend too. And you are fast. You can run on the grass." + +They hug and smile. They play with the phone toy and the car toy. They have fun. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big box with many bulbs inside. The bulbs are for planting flowers. + +"Look, Ben, pretty bulbs!" Anna says. She picks up a yellow bulb and holds it in her hand. + +"Can I have one too?" Ben asks. He reaches for a red bulb. + +"Be careful, Ben. The bulbs are fragile. They can break easily," Anna says. + +But Ben does not listen. He grabs the red bulb and squeezes it hard. The bulb cracks and falls apart in his hand. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cries. He drops the bulb and shakes his hand. He has a cut on his finger and it bleeds. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Anna asks. She runs to him and sees his wound. + +"I wanted to see what was inside the bulb," Ben says. He is sorry and scared. + +"You can't do that, Ben. The bulbs are not toys. They are seeds for flowers. You have to plant them in the ground and water them. Then they will grow and bloom," Anna says. + +She insists that Ben goes to the house and shows his finger to their mom. She says their mom will clean his cut and put a band-aid on it. + +"Okay, Anna. I'm sorry. I won't touch the bulbs again," Ben says. + +He follows Anna to the house. He hopes his finger will heal soon and he will see the flowers in the garden. +Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to learn how to cook and bake yummy things. One day, her mom let her stir the pot of soup on the stove. Lily was very happy and proud. + +"Be careful, Lily," her mom said. "The pot is very hot. Don't touch it with your hands. And don't let the soup spill. It can burn you." + +Lily nodded and used a big spoon to stir the soup. She smelled the carrots and the chicken and the herbs. She thought it smelled delicious. She wanted to taste it, but she knew she had to wait. + +Suddenly, she heard a loud noise outside. She turned her head to see what it was. It was a big truck that was honking its horn. Lily liked trucks, but this one was very noisy and scary. She forgot about the pot and the soup. + +The spoon slipped from her hand and fell into the pot. The soup splashed and bubbled. Lily felt some drops of hot soup on her arm. It hurt a lot. She screamed and dropped the pot. The pot fell on the floor and broke. The soup spilled everywhere. + +Lily started to cry. She was scared and in pain. She ran to her mom and hugged her. Her mom hugged her back and checked her arm. She saw a small red mark where the soup had burned her. + +"Oh, Lily, I'm so sorry," her mom said. "You're very brave. It's just a little burn. It will heal soon. Let me put some ice on it and some cream. It will make it feel better." + +Lily sniffled and nodded. She felt her mom's love and care. She also felt very sorry for the pot and the soup. She had made a big mess and wasted the food. + +"I'm sorry, mom," she said. "I didn't mean to drop the pot. I was scared of the truck. It was very loud." + +Her mom smiled and kissed her cheek. "It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. You didn't do it on purpose. The pot and the soup are not important. You are important. I'm glad you're not hurt badly. The truck is gone now. It won't bother you anymore." + +Lily smiled and hugged her mom again. She felt better. She still liked to help her mom in the kitchen, but she learned to be more careful and to pay attention. She also learned to not be afraid of trucks. They were just big and noisy, but they couldn't hurt her. She was a little girl, but she was also strong and brave. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big box of blocks and they liked to build different things. Lily wanted to build a house, but Ben wanted to build a volcano. + +"Let's build a volcano," Ben said. "It will be fun and loud and hot." + +"No, let's build a house," Lily said. "It will be cozy and pretty and safe." + +They could not agree, so they decided to build their own things. Lily used the red and yellow blocks to make a house with a door and a window. Ben used the black and gray blocks to make a volcano with a hole on top. + +Lily was happy with her house. She put a doll and a teddy bear inside and pretended they were a family. Ben was happy with his volcano. He put some baking soda and vinegar inside and waited for it to erupt. + +"Look, Lily, look!" Ben shouted. "My volcano is going to explode!" + +Lily looked at Ben's volcano and saw it fizz and bubble. She was curious and scared. She wanted to see what would happen, but she also wanted to protect her house. + +"Ben, be careful!" Lily said. "Your volcano might break my house. My house is fragile. It can fall apart easily." + +Ben did not listen. He was too excited. He watched his volcano spew foam and gas. He laughed and clapped his hands. + +"Wow, wow, wow!" Ben said. "My volcano is awesome!" + +But then, something bad happened. Ben's volcano was too big and too strong. It made a loud noise and a big mess. It knocked over Lily's house and spilled foam and vinegar all over the garden. + +Lily was sad and angry. She saw her house broken and her toys wet. She cried and yelled at Ben. + +"Ben, you are mean!" Lily said. "You ruined my house and my toys. You are a bad brother!" + +Ben was sorry and ashamed. He saw Lily's tears and heard her words. He realized he made a mistake. He hugged Lily and said he was sorry. + +"Lily, I'm sorry," Ben said. "I did not mean to break your house and your toys. I was just having fun. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily was still sad, but she loved Ben. She knew he did not do it on purpose. She hugged him back and said she forgave him. + +"Ben, I forgive you," Lily said. "But next time, please be more careful. And maybe we can build something together. Something that is not a volcano." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He agreed to be more careful and to build something with Lily. They cleaned up the mess and put away their blocks. They decided to build a castle next time. A castle that was strong and beautiful and friendly. +Lily likes to go to the library with her mom. She likes to look at books with pictures and stories. She likes to sit on the big chair and listen to her mom read to her. + +One day, Lily and her mom go to the library. But when they get there, they see a sign on the door. It says "Closed". Lily is sad. She wants to go inside and see the books. She asks her mom why the library is closed. + +Her mom says, "The library is closed because some people are sick. They have a bad cold. They need to stay home and rest. We don't want to catch their cold. We want to be healthy and happy." + +Lily understands. She knows that being sick is not fun. She knows that she has to wash her hands and cover her mouth when she sneezes. She knows that she has to be careful and kind to others. + +She says to her mom, "Can we come back another day? When the library is open and the people are better?" + +Her mom says, "Yes, of course. We can come back another day. Maybe next week. For now, we can go to the park and play. Or we can go home and read some of the books we have there. We have many books at home, too." + +Lily smiles. She is still sad that the library is closed, but she is happy that she has her mom and her books. She says, "OK, mom. Let's go to the park and play. Maybe we can catch some leaves or butterflies. That sounds fun." + +Her mom smiles, too. She hugs Lily and says, "I love you, Lily. You are a smart and sweet girl. Let's go and have some fun." +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big yellow truck in the garage. It has a long hose and a meter. + +"Wow, look at this truck!" Ben says. "It can measure gas!" + +"What is gas?" Sam asks. + +"Gas is what makes cars go," Ben explains. "This truck can fill up other cars with gas." + +"Can we play with it?" Sam wonders. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "It looks old and thin. Maybe it is broken." + +They climb into the truck and look around. They see a button that says "start". Ben pushes it. The truck makes a loud noise and starts to move. + +"Help!" Sam cries. "We are driving!" + +Ben tries to stop the truck, but he does not know how. The truck goes faster and faster. It bumps into a fence and a tree. The hose swings around and sprays gas everywhere. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Ben and Sam shout. + +The truck finally stops in front of their house. Their mom and dad come running out. They look angry and scared. + +"What are you doing?" their mom asks. "This is not a toy! This is a dangerous truck!" + +"We are sorry, mom," Ben and Sam say. "We just wanted to play with it. We did not know it would go so fast." + +Their mom and dad hug them and make sure they are not hurt. They tell them to never play with the truck again. They call the owner of the truck and apologize. They help clean up the mess. + +Ben and Sam learn a lesson. They decide to play with their own cars and trucks. They do not measure gas anymore. +Tim and Mia like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big brown dog in the park. The dog has a shiny gem on its collar. Tim and Mia want to pet the dog. + +"Hello, doggy!" Mia says. She walks to the dog and holds out her hand. The dog wags its tail and licks her hand. Mia giggles. + +"Can I pet the doggy too?" Tim asks. He follows Mia and strokes the dog's fur. The dog barks happily. + +The dog's owner is sitting on a bench. He sees Tim and Mia and smiles. He whistles to the dog. The dog hears the whistle and runs to the owner. + +"Bye, doggy!" Tim and Mia say. They wave to the dog and the owner. + +"Bye, kids!" the owner says. He puts the leash on the dog and walks away. + +Tim and Mia go back to the swings. They talk about the dog and the gem. + +"That was a nice doggy," Mia says. + +"Yes, and it had a pretty gem," Tim says. + +"Maybe we can see it again," Mia says. + +"Maybe," Tim says. They smile and swing higher and higher. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to dig in the sand and make castles and roads. They also liked to look for shiny things and put them in their pockets. + +One day, they saw a man sleeping on a bench. He had a big bag next to him and a dirty wallet in his hand. Lily and Tom were curious. They wanted to see what was in the bag and the wallet. + +They tiptoed to the bench and peeked inside the bag. They saw some clothes, some books, and some food. They also saw a picture of a woman and a boy. Lily and Tom wondered who they were. + +They reached for the wallet, but the man woke up. He saw them and shouted, "Hey, what are you doing? Don't disturb me and don't touch my things!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the wallet and ran away. They did not say sorry. They did not understand why the man was angry. They thought he was mean. + +They went back to their toys and played some more. They forgot about the man and the wallet. They did not know that the man was sad and lonely. He had lost his home and his family. He had nothing but his bag and his wallet. He needed some help and some kindness. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower with all the blocks they had. They worked hard and put block on top of block until the tower was very tall. + +"Look at our tower!" Lily said. "It is so big and strong!" + +Tom nodded. "It is the best tower ever! And it has an arm!" He pointed to a block that stuck out from the side of the tower. "It is like a waving arm!" + +Lily smiled. "It is an adorable arm! It says hello to us!" + +They were very happy with their tower. But then, a big dog came running into the room. The dog saw the tower and wanted to play with it. He jumped and barked and wagged his tail. He ran towards the tower and bumped into it with his nose. + +CRASH! The tower fell down and the blocks went everywhere. Lily and Tom were very sad. They cried and hugged each other. + +"Bad dog!" Lily shouted. "You broke our tower! You broke our arm!" + +The dog looked confused. He did not mean to break the tower. He just wanted to have fun. He licked Lily and Tom's faces and tried to make them happy. But they pushed him away and ran to their mom. + +"Mommy, mommy!" they cried. "The dog broke our tower! He broke our arm! He is a bad dog!" + +Mommy came and saw the mess. She was not happy either. She scolded the dog and put him outside. She hugged Lily and Tom and said she was sorry. She said they could build another tower later. But Lily and Tom did not want to build another tower. They wanted their old tower back. They wanted their adorable arm back. They were very unhappy. The end. +Poppy is a tough dog. She likes to run and jump and play. She has a big yard with a fence. She can see many things outside the fence. She can see cars and people and other dogs. + +One day, Poppy sees a new thing outside the fence. It is a big ball. It is red and shiny. It bounces on the street. Poppy wants to play with the ball. She barks and runs to the fence. She tries to jump over the fence, but she is too small. + +"Poppy, no!" says her owner. He comes out of the house. He sees the ball too. He is worried. The ball is near the road. The road is dangerous. There are many cars. He does not want Poppy to get hurt. + +He picks up Poppy and holds her. He walks to the gate. He opens the gate and goes outside. He looks both ways. He sees no cars. He runs to the ball. He grabs the ball. He brings it back to the yard. + +"Look, Poppy, I got the ball for you!" he says. He throws the ball in the air. Poppy wags her tail. She jumps and catches the ball. She bites the ball. The ball makes a loud noise. It pops. Poppy is surprised. She drops the ball. The ball is flat. + +Poppy does not like the ball anymore. She looks at her owner. He laughs. He hugs her. He says, "It's okay, Poppy. The ball was not a good toy. You are a good dog. You are my best friend." Poppy licks his face. She is happy. She loves her owner. +One day, a hunter went to the forest to look for animals. He had a big gun and a big bag. He wanted to fill his bag with meat and fur. He walked and walked, but he did not see any animals. He was anxious. He thought, maybe the animals are hiding from me. + +He saw a stream of water. He was thirsty. He decided to drink some water. He put his gun and his bag on the ground. He bent down and cupped his hands. He was about to pour the water into his mouth, when he heard a loud roar. + +He looked up and saw a big bear. The bear was angry. It saw the hunter's gun and bag. It thought, maybe the hunter wants to hurt me and take my food. The bear ran towards the hunter. The hunter was scared. He tried to grab his gun, but it was too late. The bear was faster. + +The hunter shouted, "Help! Help!" But no one heard him. The bear reached the hunter and knocked him down. The hunter felt a sharp pain. He closed his eyes and hoped for the best. + +The end. +Lily and Anna were best friends. They liked to play dress-up with their dolls and pretend they were princesses. One day, they found a big box of clothes in Lily's mom's closet. They opened the box and saw many beautiful dresses, hats, and shoes. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said, holding up a pink dress with sparkles. "It's so pretty! Can I try it on?" + +"Sure, let me help you," Anna said. She helped Lily put on the dress, but it was too big for her. The dress was long and loose, and it dragged on the floor. + +"Oh no, it doesn't fit me," Lily said, looking sad. "It's too big for my waist. I can't be a princess in this dress." + +"Don't be sad, Lily. I have an idea," Anna said. She took a ribbon from the box and tied it around Lily's waist. The ribbon made the dress look smaller and nicer. "There, now it fits you. You look beautiful, Lily. You are a princess." + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend," Lily said, smiling. She hugged Anna and twirled around in her dress. "You are a princess too. Let's find a dress for you." + +They looked in the box and found another dress for Anna. It was blue and had flowers on it. Anna put it on and Lily tied a ribbon around her waist too. They both looked beautiful in their dresses. They put on some hats and shoes and pretended they were going to a ball. They danced and sang and had fun. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a shiny gem in the grass. It was black and sparkled in the sun. They were very happy and wanted to keep it. + +"Look, what a pretty gem!" Lily said. "Can I have it?" + +"No, I saw it first!" Tom said. "It is mine!" + +They began to discuss who should have the gem. They both wanted it very much. They did not want to share or take turns. They started to yell and pull the gem from each other. + +"Give it to me!" Lily shouted. + +"Let go!" Tom shouted. + +They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog liked shiny things and wanted to play. It jumped on them and snatched the gem from their hands. It ran away with the gem in its mouth. + +Lily and Tom were very sad and angry. They had lost the gem and hurt each other. They did not want to be friends anymore. They went home crying and alone. They wished they had been nicer and smarter. +Lily and Tom like to go to the park with Mom. They play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a big glass ball with water and fish inside. It is shiny and pretty. Lily and Tom want to touch it. + +Mom says, "Be careful, it is fragile. That means it can break easily. You can look, but do not push or hit it." + +Lily and Tom nod. They go close to the glass ball and look at the fish. They are colorful and swim fast. Lily and Tom smile. + +Lily reaches out her hand and rubs the glass ball gently. It feels smooth and cold. She likes it. She says, "Hello, fish." + +Tom also wants to rub the glass ball. He moves his hand too fast and bumps the glass ball. It makes a loud noise and cracks. Water and fish spill out. Lily and Tom scream. + +Mom runs to them and hugs them. She says, "Are you okay? It was an accident. You did not mean to break it. But you have to be more careful with fragile things. They can hurt you and the fish." + +Lily and Tom are sorry and scared. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, fish." + +Mom says, "It's okay. Let's go home and have some cookies. Maybe we can come back another day and see if they fix the glass ball." + +Lily and Tom nod. They hold Mom's hand and walk away from the park. They hope the fish are okay. They learn a new word: fragile. +Tim was a wealthy boy who lived in a big house with many toys. He liked to play with his cars and trains and dolls, but he was not happy. He had no friends to share his fun with, and his parents were always busy. He wished he could go outside and run and laugh with other children. + +One day, he saw a big truck stop near his house. The truck had many potatoes in it. Tim liked potatoes. He liked to eat them with butter and cheese, or make them into fries and chips. He wondered if he could have some potatoes from the truck. He put on his coat and shoes and sneaked out of his house. + +He ran to the truck and climbed inside. He saw many big bags of potatoes. He opened one and took out a potato. It was brown and dirty and smelled like earth. He rubbed it on his coat and bit into it. It was hard and bitter and made him cough. He did not like it at all. He threw it away and looked for another one. + +But then he heard a loud voice. It was the driver of the truck. He was angry and shouted at Tim. He said that Tim was a thief and a brat and that he had to get out of his truck. He grabbed Tim by his coat and pulled him out. He threw him on the ground and drove away. + +Tim was scared and hurt and sad. He cried and ran back to his house. He wished he had never left his toys and his room.

He hoped that one day he would find a real friend who would like him for who he was, not for what he had. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red fruits. They want to pick some fruits and make jam. + +They climb the tree and fill a basket with fruits. But when they want to go down, they see a big dog.

The apples are sweet and juicy. + +But then, they hear a loud roar. They look up and see a big, hairy bear. The bear is angry. The sack is his. He wants his apples back. + +"Give me my apples!" the bear says. "Or I will eat you!" + +Tim and Sam are scared. They drop their apples and run away. They do not want to be eaten. They run to their moms and tell them what happened. + +The bear takes his sack and goes away. He is still hungry. He looks for more apples. He does not like to share. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park with their dog, Spot. They liked to run, slide, and swing with him. Spot was a good dog and always listened to them. + +One day, they saw a big truck near the park. It had a sign that said "Animal Shelter". Sara and Ben wondered what that meant. They asked their mom, who was sitting on a bench. + +"Mom, what is an animal shelter?" Sara asked. + +"An animal shelter is a place where they take care of animals that have no home," Mom explained. "Sometimes, people can adopt them and give them a new home." + +"Can we adopt an animal, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe, but we already have Spot. He needs a lot of love and attention. We have to make sure we have enough time and space for another animal," Mom said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They loved Spot very much and did not want him to feel sad or lonely.

They wished they could help them. + +They saw a small kitten with white fur and blue eyes. She was meowing softly. Sara and Ben went closer to her. She looked at them and rubbed her head against the cage. + +"Hello, little kitty. You are very cute," Sara said. + +"Can we pet you?" Ben asked. + +The man who worked at the animal shelter saw them and smiled. He opened the cage and let them hold the kitten. She was warm and soft. She purred and licked their faces. + +"She likes you," the man said. "Her name is Snowy. She was found in the street, cold and hungry. She needs a home and a family. Do you want to adopt her?" + +Sara and Ben looked at each other. They wanted to adopt Snowy. She was so sweet and friendly. They looked at their mom, who was watching them. + +"Mom, can we please adopt Snowy? We will take good care of her. We will feed her, play with her, and give her a nap. We will rescue her from the animal shelter. Please, Mom, please," they begged. + +Mom looked at Snowy. She saw how happy she made Sara and Ben. She saw how lonely she was in the cage.

"Let's have some!" + +"Yes, Ben, let's!" Sara says. "But we have to share with Mom and Dad, okay?" + +"Okay, Sara, we will share," Ben says. But he does not really mean it. He wants to eat more cookies than Sara. + +They open the box and take out some cookies. They are very crunchy and sweet. Sara and Ben eat them very fast. They do not count how many they eat. + +Soon, the box is empty. There are no more cookies left. Sara and Ben look at each other. They feel very full and sick. They also feel very sorry. They did not share with Mom and Dad. They ate all the cookies. + +"Oh no, Sara, what did we do?" Ben says. "We ate all the cookies! Mom and Dad will be very mad at us!" + +"I don't know, Ben, I don't know!" Sara says. "We were very bad! We did not listen to our name! We did not share!" + +They start to weep. They weep very loud.

We are very sorry!" + +Mom and Dad look at Sara and Ben. They are not very mad. They are a little sad. They are also a little amused. They hug Sara and Ben and wipe their tears. + +"It's okay, Sara and Ben," Mom says. "We are not very mad at you. We are glad that you are sorry. But you have to learn to share and listen to your name. Sharing is caring. And listening to your name is good." + +"Yes, Mom, we will learn," Sara says. + +"Yes, Dad, we will learn," Ben says. + +Mom and Dad smile. They take Sara and Ben to the living room. They give them some water and some fruit. They tell them a story. They make them feel better. + +Sara and Ben feel better. They also feel very sleepy. They cuddle with Mom and Dad on the couch. They close their eyes. They dream of yummy cookies. But they also dream of sharing and listening to their name. They are happy. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. One day, they saw a big building with a tall tower. It was a temple. Sara and Tom wanted to see what was inside. + +They walked to the door of the temple and peeked in. They saw people sitting on the floor and singing. They saw candles and flowers and statues. They saw a man in a robe who smiled at them. + +"Hello, children. Do you want to come in?" the man asked. + +Sara and Tom nodded. They were curious. They followed the man into the temple. He showed them around and told them stories. He said the temple was a place to pray and be kind. + +Sara and Tom liked the temple. They liked the man. They liked the people. They felt happy and peaceful. + +But not everyone was nice. There was a boy who was sitting in a corner. He was not singing. He was not smiling. He was lonely. He saw Sara and Tom and felt angry.

It was shiny and round. He wanted to play with it. + +"Let's go to the park!" Tom said. "We can play with the ball there. It will be fun!" + +"OK!" Sue said. She liked the park. It had swings and slides. It had grass and trees. It had a fence. The fence was there to keep them safe. They had to stay inside the fence. + +They went to the park. They played with the ball. They threw it and caught it. They kicked it and rolled it. They had fun. They laughed and smiled. + +But then, something bad happened. The ball went over the fence. It went to the road. The road had cars. Cars were fast and loud. Cars were dangerous. + +"Uh-oh!" Tom said. "The ball went to the road. I have to get it!" + +"No, Tom!" Sue said. "Don't go to the road. It's not safe. Wait for a grown-up. A grown-up can help us." + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted his ball. He ran to the fence. He climbed over the fence. He went to the road. + +Sue was scared. She shouted at Tom. She told him to come back. She told him to be careful. But Tom did not hear her. He saw his ball. He ran to his ball. + +But he did not see the car. The car was coming fast. The car did not see him. The car hit him. + +Tom fell down. He did not get up. He did not move. He did not speak. He was hurt. He was very hurt. + +Sue cried. She ran to Tom. She tried to help him. But she could not help him. He was too hurt. + +A grown-up came. The grown-up saw Tom. The grown-up called for help. The grown-up tried to help Tom. But it was too late. Tom was gone. + +Sue was sad. She was very sad. She lost her friend. She lost her ball. She wished she could celebrate with Tom. She wished he was safe. She wished he was alive. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many clouds in the sky. Some were white and fluffy, and some were gray and dark. + +"Look, mom, a cloud!" Ben said, pointing at a big white one. + +"Yes, that's a cloud, Ben. Do you know what clouds are made of?" mom asked. + +"Water?" Lily guessed. + +"That's right, Lily. Clouds are made of tiny drops of water that float in the air. Sometimes they make rain or snow," mom explained. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They liked to learn new things from mom. + +They saw a man sitting on a bench near them. He had a dog with him. The dog was black and white and had a red collar. The man was talking to the dog, but the dog did not seem to listen. + +"Mom, why is the man talking to the dog?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe he likes to talk to his dog. Some people do that," mom said. + +"But the dog does not talk back. He does not hear the man," Lily said. + +"How do you know that, Lily?" mom asked. + +"Because the dog has a tag on his collar. It says 'deaf'. That means he cannot hear," Lily said. + +Mom looked at the tag and saw that Lily was right. The dog was deaf. + +"Wow, Lily, you are very smart. You can read the word 'deaf'. That's a big word for a little girl," mom praised. + +"Thank you, mom. I learned it from a book," Lily said. + +Ben and Lily decided to go and say hello to the man and the dog. They asked mom if they could, and mom said yes, but to be careful and polite. + +They walked over to the bench and smiled at the man. + +"Hello, sir. We like your dog. What is his name?" Ben asked. + +The man looked at them and smiled back. + +"Hello, kids. My dog's name is Spot. He is a good dog, but he is deaf. He cannot hear me or you," the man said. + +"That's okay. We know he is deaf. We saw his tag. We can still be his friends," Lily said. + +The man nodded and patted Spot's head. He let Ben and Lily pet him too. Spot wagged his tail and licked their hands. + +Ben and Lily were happy. They made a new friend. They talked and played with the man and Spot for a while. They learned more about clouds and dogs. They had a lot of fun. + +Mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of her kids. They were kind and curious. They liked to discuss things and learn new words. They were not afraid of differences. They were good kids. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to ask questions. She wanted to know everything about the world. One day, she went to school with her friend Tom. They had a new teacher, Mr. Fox, who had a big blackboard. + +Mr. Fox wrote some words and numbers on the blackboard. He asked the class to read and count with him. Lily raised her hand and asked a question. + +"Mr. Fox, what is that big word on the blackboard?" she said. + +"That is the word 'elephant', Lily. It is a big animal with a long nose and big ears. Do you know what sound it makes?" Mr. Fox said. + +Lily shook her head. She had never seen an elephant before. She wanted to hear its sound. + +Mr. Fox smiled and made a loud noise with his mouth. He sounded like a trumpet. The class laughed and clapped. Lily was amazed. She wanted to see an elephant. + +"Can we go to the zoo and see the elephants, Mr. Fox?" she asked. + +"Maybe one day, Lily. But first, we have to learn more words and numbers. Do you want to help me write 'elephant' on the blackboard?" Mr. Fox said. + +Lily nodded and ran to the front. She took a chalk and wrote 'elephant' on the blackboard. She was very proud. She thanked Mr. Fox and went back to her seat. Tom gave her a high five. Lily was happy. She liked to ask questions and learn new things. She wondered what else she would discover at school. +Zara was a spoiled girl. She had many toys, but she did not share them with anyone. She liked to zoom around the house with her toy car, and make loud noises. She did not listen to her mom or dad, or say please or thank you. + +One day, Zara went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy playing with a ball. She wanted the ball, so she zoomed over to him and snatched it from his hands. She laughed and said, "This is my ball now!" + +The boy was sad and angry. He ran after Zara and tried to get his ball back. But Zara was too fast and zoomed away. She did not care that she hurt the boy's feelings. + +But then, Zara made a big mistake. She did not look where she was going, and she zoomed into a big tree. She fell off her toy car and dropped the ball. She hurt her head and her knee, and she started to cry. + +The boy saw what happened, and he felt sorry for Zara. He picked up his ball and walked over to her. He said, "Are you okay? Do you need help?" + +But Zara did not say thank you or sorry. She was still spoiled and rude. She said, "Go away! Leave me alone! This is your fault!" + +The boy shook his head and walked away. He did not want to play with Zara anymore. He found a nice girl who shared her toys and said nice words. They had fun together. + +Zara was left alone, with no friends and no toys. She was still crying, and her mom came to get her. She was not happy with Zara, and she said, "You have been very naughty and selfish today. You need to learn how to be kind and polite. You will not get any treats or stories tonight. You will go straight to bed." + +Zara did not like that. She wanted treats and stories. But she had no choice. She had to go to bed, and she had a bad ending. +Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a box for dolls, a box for cars, and a box for books. She put each toy in the right box. She felt happy when her toys were neat. + +One day, Lily saw her brother's pants on the floor. They were dirty and smelly. She thought they were terrible. She did not want them in her room. She decided to organize them too. + +She picked up the pants and put them in a box. But they did not fit in any of her boxes. They were too big and too long. She tried to fold them, but they were still too big. She tried to cut them, but they were too hard. She tried to hide them, but they were too obvious. + +She did not know what to do with the pants. She felt sad and frustrated. She wished she had never seen them. + +Then, she heard her brother's voice. He was looking for his pants. He saw them in Lily's room. He was angry and confused. He asked Lily why she had his pants. He wanted them back. + +Lily felt scared and sorry. She did not mean to make her brother mad. She only wanted to organize. She gave him his pants and said she was sorry. She hoped he would forgive her. + +Her brother looked at his pants. They were wrinkled and torn. He felt sad and annoyed. He liked his pants. They were his favorite. He wished Lily had not touched them. + +But he saw Lily's face. She was crying and apologizing. She looked very small and sorry. He felt sorry for her too. He knew she did not do it on purpose. He decided to forgive her. + +He hugged Lily and said it was okay. He told her he loved her. He said he would help her organize her toys. He said he would teach her how to fold pants. He said he would buy new pants. + +Lily smiled and hugged him back. She said she loved him too. She said she would help him find his pants. She said she would learn how to fold pants. She said she was sorry for the terrible pants. + +They both felt better. They went to organize their things. They had fun and learned from each other. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with gears. They have a big box of gears. They can make different things with gears. Sometimes they make cars, sometimes they make robots, sometimes they make animals. + +One day, they decide to make a big gear tower. They use all the gears in the box. They put gears on top of gears. They make the tower very tall. They are happy and proud of their tower. + +But then, a strong wind comes. It blows the tower down. The gears fall on the floor. Some gears break. Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They worked hard on their tower. They look at the mess. + +Anna starts to cry. She says, "Our tower is gone. Our gears are broken. We have nothing to play with." + +Ben feels sorry for Anna. He says, "Don't cry, Anna. We still have each other. We can hug and be happy. We can find more gears and make a new tower. We can play again." + +Ben gives Anna a big hug. Anna feels better. She hugs Ben back. They feel comfortable and warm. They smile and say, "We are friends. We like to hug. We like to play with gears." +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Anna carried Lily everywhere. She carried her to the park, to the store, to the school. She carried her under her arm, in her backpack, in her bike basket. + +One day, Anna went to a birthday party. It was for Ben, who was very popular. He had many friends, many toys, many balloons. Anna wanted to be his friend, too. She brought Lily with her. She thought Ben would like Lily. She thought Lily would like Ben. + +But Ben did not like Lily. He did not like dolls. He liked cars, and planes, and robots. He saw Anna carrying Lily and he laughed. He said Lily was silly, and ugly, and babyish. He said Anna was silly, and ugly, and babyish. He took Lily from Anna and threw her on the ground. He kicked her and tore her dress. He grabbed a sheet from the table and wrapped Lily in it. He said he would throw her in the trash. + +Anna was very sad. She cried and cried. She ran to Lily and tried to save her. But it was too late. Lily was broken and dirty. Her hair was gone, her dress was ripped, her smile was gone. Anna could not carry Lily anymore. She could only carry her sadness. She wished she never went to the party. She wished she never met Ben. She wished she had Lily back. +Lila and Ben are playing with paper. They want to make paper planes and fly them in the air. Lila knows how to fold paper well. She learned from her big sister. Ben does not know how to fold paper well. He tries to copy Lila, but his paper looks messy and does not fly. + +"Look, Ben, you have to fold like this," Lila says, showing him how to make a straight line. "Then you fold like this, and like this, and like this. See? Now you have a paper plane." + +Ben tries to do the same, but he gets frustrated. His paper does not look like a plane. It looks like a ball. He throws it on the floor and says, "I can't do it! It's too hard!" + +Lila feels sorry for Ben. She does not want him to be sad. She says, "It's okay, Ben. You can do it. You just need to practice. Here, I'll help you. We can be a team. A team works together and helps each other." + +Lila takes another paper and sits next to Ben. She holds his hand and guides him to fold the paper. She talks to him and encourages him. Ben listens to Lila and follows her steps. He feels happy and proud. He says, "Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend. You are a good teacher. Look, I made a paper plane!" + +Lila smiles and says, "You're welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. You are a good learner. Look, we made two paper planes!" + +They hold their paper planes and run outside. They throw them in the air and watch them fly. They laugh and clap and cheer. They are a team. They are happy. +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their friends and their toys. One day, they see a big vase near a bench. The vase is shiny and pretty. It has flowers and water in it. + +Sara and Ben want to look at the vase. They go near the bench and touch the vase. It is smooth and cold. They smell the flowers. They are sweet and nice. They want to take the vase and play with it. They think it is a toy. + +They pick up the vase and run away. They do not see the lady who owns the vase. She is sitting on the bench and reading a book. She looks up and sees Sara and Ben with her vase. She is angry and sad. She shouts at them and chases them. + +Sara and Ben are scared and sorry. They drop the vase and it breaks. The water and the flowers spill on the ground. The vase is not shiny and pretty anymore. It is broken and ugly. Sara and Ben are ashamed. They cry and say sorry to the lady. + +The lady is still angry and sad, but she sees that Sara and Ben are young and did not know better. She tells them that the vase was not a toy, but a gift from her friend. She tells them that they should not take things that are not theirs. She tells them that they should be careful and respectful. She tells them that they should say sorry to their friends and their toys. + +Sara and Ben nod and listen. They understand and learn. They say sorry to the lady again and hug her. They say sorry to their friends and their toys. They help the lady clean up the mess. They go back to the park and play. They do not touch the vase or any other thing that is not a toy. They are happy and good. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the pool with their toys. One day, they had a new toy: a big yellow duck. Lily and Ben wanted to take turns to dive with the duck. + +Lily went first. She held the duck and jumped into the water. She made a big splash. She came up and smiled. "That was fun!" she said. + +Ben nodded. He wanted to try too. He reached for the duck. But Lily did not let go. "No, it's my turn again!" she said. "You have to wait!" + +Ben frowned. He did not like to wait. He wanted to dive with the duck. He pulled the duck. Lily pulled back. They both tugged and shouted. + +"Stop it!" said Mom. She heard the noise and came to the pool. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the duck. She was not happy. "What is going on here?" she asked. + +Lily and Ben stopped. They looked at Mom. They felt bad. They knew they were not being nice. + +"We both want to dive with the duck," Lily said. + +"But she won't share!" Ben said. + +Mom shook her head. She took the duck from them. "This is not how you play with your toys," she said. "You have to take turns and be fair. If you can't do that, you can't have the duck." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to lose the duck. They liked the duck. They wanted to play with it. + +"Sorry, Mom," Lily said. + +"Sorry, Lily," Ben said. + +"Sorry, Ben," Lily said. + +Mom smiled. She saw that they were sorry. She gave them the duck back. "That's better," she said. "Now, you can dive with the duck. But remember, one at a time." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They hugged Mom. They hugged each other. They thanked Mom. They took turns to dive with the duck. They had fun. They were lively. They were best friends. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park.

Lily asks. + +"Moo," the cow says. + +"Where do you live?" Tom asks. + +"Moo," the cow says. + +"Do you like the park?" Lily asks. + +"Moo," the cow says. + +Lily and Tom think the cow is funny. They like the cow. They give the cow some grass and some water. The cow is happy. The cow gives them a lick. + +"Thank you, cow," Lily and Tom say. + +"You are welcome, kids," the cow says. + +Lily and Tom are surprised. The cow can talk! + +"Wow, you can talk!" Lily says. + +"Yes, I can. But only to honest and kind children like you," the cow says. + +"Really? That is amazing!" Tom says. + +"Yes, it is. But it is a secret. You cannot tell anyone else," the cow says. + +"We promise. We will not tell anyone. We are honest and kind," Lily and Tom say. + +"Good. I trust you. You are my friends," the cow says. + +Lily and Tom smile. They are happy. They have a new friend. A talking cow. They play with the cow until it is time to go home. They hug the cow and say goodbye. + +"Bye, cow. We will see you again," Lily and Tom say. + +"Bye, kids. Have a nice day," the cow says. + +Lily and Tom wave and run to their parents. They do not tell anyone about the cow. They keep the secret. They are honest and kind. And they look forward to seeing the cow again. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play at the beach. They liked to build sand castles, dig holes, and splash in the water. One day, they found a big, bright shell on the sand. It was shiny and smooth and had many colors. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said, picking up the shell. "It's so pretty! I want to keep it!" + +"No, I want it!" Ben said, grabbing the shell from Lily. "It's mine! I saw it first!" + +"Give it back!" Lily said, pulling the shell from Ben. "It's not fair! You have so many toys already!" + +They started to fight over the shell, pulling and pushing and shouting. They did not see the big wave that was coming from the sea. It was fast and strong and loud. It crashed over them and took the shell away. + +"Hey, where did it go?" Ben said, looking around. "The sea took our shell!" + +Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They had lost their shell and they had hurt each other. They wished they had shared the shell and played nicely. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said, hugging his sister. "I was mean to you. I don't need the shell. You can have it." + +"I'm sorry, too, Ben," Lily said, hugging him back. "I was mean to you, too. I don't need the shell, either. You can have it." + +They smiled and forgave each other. They decided to look for another shell together, or maybe something else that was bright and fun. They learned that sharing was better than fighting, and that the sea could give and take away. +Lily liked to run fast. She ran every day in the park with her dog, Spot. Spot was a good dog. He ran with Lily and played with her. + +One day, Lily saw a big sign in the park. It said: "Race for kids. Win a medal." Lily wanted to win a medal. She asked her mom if she could join the race. Her mom said yes. She said she would provide water and snacks for Lily and Spot. + +The next day, Lily and Spot went to the park. There were many kids and dogs there. They all wanted to win a medal.

They loved to run. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pile of rocks near the slide. They wondered what it was for. + +"Let's move the rocks!" Tom said. "Maybe we can make something with them." + +"OK!" Mia agreed. "But it looks hard. How can we move them?" + +They tried to push and pull the rocks, but they were too heavy. They felt tired and sad. + +Then, an old man came by. He had a long beard and a hat. He smiled at them and said, "Hello, children. Do you need some help?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Mia said. "We want to move the rocks, but we can't. They are too big and heavy." + +The old man nodded. "I see. You are trying to do a task that is very ancient. People have been moving rocks for a long time, to build houses and walls and monuments. But they did not do it alone. They used tools and teamwork. Do you know what tools and teamwork are?" + +Tom and Mia shook their heads. They did not know those words. + +The old man explained. "Tools are things that help you do something easier. Like a shovel, or a wheelbarrow, or a rope. Teamwork is when you work together with others, and help each other. Like this." + +He showed them how to use a shovel to dig under the rocks, and a wheelbarrow to carry them, and a rope to pull them. He also helped them to lift and place the rocks where they wanted. He taught them to say, "One, two, three, lift!" and "Thank you!" and "Good job!" + +Soon, Tom and Mia had moved all the rocks. They were very happy. They had made a small fort with a door and a window. They thanked the old man and invited him to play with them. + +The old man smiled and said, "You are very welcome. You have done a great task. You have learned how to use tools and teamwork. You have also made a new friend. Me. Can I join your fort?" + +"Yes, of course!" Tom and Mia said. "You are our friend too. Come in!" + +They all went inside the fort and had fun. They told stories and jokes and sang songs. They felt proud and happy. They had moved the rocks. +Sam liked to watch the ants in the garden.

Sam said hello and asked if he could join them. + +The leader ant looked at Sam and said, "You are too big and slow. You cannot help us. Go away." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He said, "I can help you. I can carry more food than you. I can dig faster than you. Let me show you." + +The leader ant said, "Fine. Let's have a contest. Whoever carries more food and digs deeper in one hour wins. The loser has to leave the garden." + +Sam agreed. He ran to find some food and a spot to dig. The leader ant did the same. They worked hard and fast, trying to beat each other. + +After one hour, they stopped and compared their results. Sam had carried a lot of food, but the leader ant had carried more. Sam had dug a deep hole, but the leader ant had dug deeper. + +The leader ant said, "I win. You lose. You have to leave the garden." + +Sam felt sad and ashamed. He said, "You are right. You are better than me. I will leave the garden." + +He turned to go, but then he heard a voice. It was another ant, a friend of the leader ant. The friend ant said, "Wait, Sam. Don't go. You did a good job. You worked hard and improved your skills. You are brave and strong. You are a good ant." + +Sam looked at the friend ant and smiled. He said, "Thank you. You are a good ant, too. You are kind and friendly. You are a good leader." + +The friend ant said, "Thank you. You are welcome to stay in the garden. We can work together and learn from each other. We can be friends." + +The leader ant said, "Yes, Sam. You are welcome to stay. I was wrong to be mean to you. You are a good ant. You are a good friend." + +Sam felt happy and proud.

They improved their skills and their home. They lived happily in the garden. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. Tim wanted to go first, but Kim said, "No, I want to go first. You always go first." Tim said, "That's not true. You went first yesterday." Kim said, "No, I didn't. You did." They started to argue and push each other. + +A boy named Sam was watching them. He thought they were silly and rude. He walked up to them and said, "Hey, why are you fighting? The slide is big enough for both of you. Why don't you take turns?" Tim and Kim looked at him and shrugged. They didn't care what he said. They wanted to go first. + +Sam felt sad. He said, "You know, fighting is not nice. You should be kind and share. That's what friends do." He gave them a wink and a smile. He hoped they would listen to him. He walked away and found another slide to play on. + +Tim and Kim watched him go. They felt a little bad. They realized he was right. Fighting was not nice. They should be kind and share. They looked at each other and said, "Sorry." They hugged and made up. They decided to take turns on the slide. They had more fun that way. + +The moral of the story is: Fighting is not nice.

Anna feels happy when she plays with Lily. + +One day, Anna sees a big box in the living room. She asks her mom what is in the box. Her mom says it is a surprise for her. Anna feels curious. She wants to see what is in the box. She waits until her mom is busy in the kitchen. Then she sneaks to the box. She opens it a little bit. She sees something shiny and round. She opens it more. She sees a bike. A bike for her. She feels excited. + +She tries to pull the bike out of the box. But the bike is too big and heavy for her. She can only move it an inch. She feels frustrated. She wants to ride the bike. She hears her mom coming. She quickly closes the box. She acts like nothing happened. She feels guilty. + +Her mom sees her sitting on the floor. She smiles and says, "Anna, I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?" Anna nods. She feels nervous. Her mom opens the box. She shows her the bike. She says, "This is your new bike, Anna. Do you like it?" Anna feels ashamed. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I already saw it. I opened the box when you were not looking. I wanted to ride it, but I couldn't." She feels like crying. + +Her mom hugs her and says, "It's okay, Anna. I'm not mad at you. I understand. You were curious and excited. But next time, please wait for me. I wanted to see your face when you saw the bike. I wanted to help you learn how to ride it. I love you, Anna." Anna feels relieved. She says, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for the bike.

"Let's make scrambled eggs with milk!" + +They took out the things they wanted and put them on the table. They tried to cook, but they did not know how. They made a big mess. They spilled the milk, broke the eggs, burned the bread, and dropped the cheese. The kitchen was dirty and smelly. + +Mom came home and saw the mess. She was angry and sad. She said, "What did you do? You wasted the food and made a mess! You should not cook without asking me. Cooking is not a game. It is hard work. You need to learn and be careful." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were hungry and wanted to cook something yummy. We did not mean to make a mess. We thought we were mighty and could cook anything." + +Mom said, "You are not mighty. You are still little. You need to listen and follow the rules. Cooking is not for little ones. It is for grown-ups who know how to do it. If you are hungry, you can ask me or Dad to make you something. Or you can eat something simple, like a fruit or a cracker. But you should not touch the things in the cupboard without permission. They are not toys. They are food. Food is precious and should not be wasted." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "We understand, Mom. We are sorry. We will not touch the things in the cupboard again. We will ask you or Dad if we are hungry. We will eat something simple. We will help you clean the mess." + +Mom smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. I forgive you. I love you. You are not mighty, but you are sweet and good. Come, let me hug you. Then we will clean the mess together. And then I will make you something yummy to eat." + +Tom and Lily hugged Mom. They said, "We love you, Mom. Thank you for making us something yummy.

He has some bread in his pocket. Mia wants to see the fish. She has a sweater on. It is cold today. + +Sam and Mia go to the pond. Sam breaks the bread and throws it to the ducks. The ducks come closer and quack. Sam laughs. He likes the ducks. Mia looks at the water. She sees some fish swimming. They are shiny and colorful. Mia smiles. She likes the fish. + +Mia says to Sam, "Look, Sam, fish! Can I touch them?" Sam says, "No, Mia, you can't. The water is deep and wet. You will get cold and sick. And the fish will swim away. They are scared of us." Mia says, "But I want to see them closer. They are so pretty. Please, Sam, please." + +Sam says, "No, Mia, no. It is not safe. Come, let's play something else. There is a slide and a swing. They are fun." Mia says, "No, Sam, no. I want to see the fish. I have an idea. I can take off my sweater and dive in the water. Then I can touch the fish. And I can put on my sweater again. Then I will not be cold and sick. And the fish will not be scared of me. They will be my friends." + +Sam says, "No, Mia, no. That is a bad idea. You will get very cold and wet. And your sweater will get dirty and wet. And your mom will be angry and sad. And the fish will still swim away. They are not your friends. They are wild animals. They do not like people. Please, Mia, please. Do not dive in the water. Stay with me. We can play something else." + +But Mia does not listen to Sam. She takes off her sweater and puts it on the ground. She runs to the edge of the pond. She jumps and dives in the water. She feels the water on her skin. It is cold and wet. She opens her eyes and looks for the fish. She sees them. They are wide and fast. They swim away from her. They do not want to be touched. They are not her friends. They are scared of her. + +Mia feels sad and sorry. She wants to get out of the water. She swims to the shore. She sees Sam. He is angry and worried. He says, "Mia, what did you do? You are crazy. You are cold and wet. And your sweater is dirty and wet. And your mom will be angry and sad. And the fish are gone. They do not like you. They are not your friends. Why did you dive in the water? Why did you not listen to me?" + +Mia says, "I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry. I was wrong. I wanted to see the fish closer. I thought they would be my friends. But they were not. They were scared of me. And I was cold and wet. And my sweater is dirty and wet. And my mom will be angry and sad. I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry." + +Sam says, "It's okay, Mia. It's okay. I'm glad you are safe. But you should not do that again. You should listen to me. I'm your friend. I care about you. Come, let's go home. We can dry you and your sweater. And we can tell your mom what happened. Maybe she will not be too angry and sad. Maybe she will forgive you. Come, Mia, come." + +Sam and Mia go home. They are friends. They learned a lesson. They will not dive in the water again. They will play something else. They will listen to each other. They will be happy. +Tim likes to whistle. He whistles when he plays, when he eats, and when he sleeps. He whistles loud and soft, high and low, fast and slow. He whistles all the time. + +One day, Tim sees a big gray bird in the sky. He wants to whistle like the bird. He tries to copy the bird's sound, but he cannot. His mouth is too tight. He tries to open his mouth more, but he still cannot. He feels sad. + +He asks his mom for help. His mom smiles and hugs him. She says, "Whistling is hard. You need to practice. You need to relax your mouth and blow air gently. Like this." She shows him how to whistle. Tim watches and listens. + +He tries again. He relaxes his mouth and blows air gently. He hears a sound. He whistles! He feels happy. He whistles louder and louder. He whistles like the bird. The bird hears him and whistles back. Tim laughs and claps. He says, "Thank you, mom. I can whistle!" His mom says, "You're welcome, Tim. I'm proud of you." They whistle together. +Tommy was very tired. He had played all day with his toys and his friends. He wanted to go to sleep, but he also wanted to see what his mom and dad were doing. He heard them talking in the living room. + +He got out of his bed and walked to the door. He opened it a little bit and peeked. He saw his mom and dad sitting on the couch. They had a big box on the floor. They were taking out stuff from the box and looking at it. + +Tommy was curious. He wanted to know what the stuff was. He opened the door a little more and peeked again. He saw books and pictures and clothes and toys. He saw a teddy bear that looked like his. He saw a ball that looked like his. He saw a car that looked like his. + +Tommy was confused. He wondered why his mom and dad had his stuff. He opened the door a little more and peeked again. He saw his mom and dad smiling and hugging. He heard his mom say, "I'm so happy we found these. They are Tommy's baby stuff. We can keep them for his little sister." + +Tommy was surprised. He had a little sister? He felt happy and excited. He wanted to meet her and play with her. He opened the door all the way and ran to his mom and dad. He hugged them and said, "I love you. I love my stuff. I love my sister." +One day, a boy named Tom saw a big cake in the shop window. He wanted the cake very much, but he had no money. He thought he could take the cake when no one was looking. He was very naughty. + +He waited until the shop lady was busy with another customer. Then he ran to the window and grabbed the cake. He ran away as fast as he could. But he did not see the cop who was walking by. The cop saw Tom and chased him. + +"Stop, thief!" the cop shouted. "You cannot take what is not yours!" + +Tom was scared. He dropped the cake and tried to hide. But the cop found him and caught him. He took him back to the shop and gave him to the shop lady. + +The shop lady was very angry. She looked at the cake on the ground. It was smashed and dirty. It was disgusting. She looked at Tom and said, "You are a bad boy. You have wasted a good cake and made a mess. You have to pay for the cake and clean the shop. And you have to say sorry to me and the cop." + +Tom felt very sorry. He wept and said, "I am sorry, shop lady. I am sorry, cop. I was greedy and foolish. I will never steal again. Please forgive me." + +The shop lady and the cop saw that Tom was sincere. They forgave him and helped him to pay for the cake and clean the shop. They also gave him a slice of another cake and a hug. They said, "We are glad that you have learned your lesson. Stealing is wrong and hurts others. Being honest and kind is right and makes others happy." + +Tom thanked them and promised to be a good boy. He learned that stealing is disgusting and weeping is not fun. He decided to work hard and save money to buy his own cake. He also decided to share his cake with his friends. He was happy and proud. He had learned a moral value. +Jill and Tom were playing in the park with their toys. They had a staff that looked like a magic wand. They liked to pretend they were wizards and witches. + +"Let's shrink that big tree!" Jill said, pointing the staff at a tall oak. "Then we can climb it like a ladder!" + +"OK!" Tom agreed, and they both said the magic word: "Shrinky-dink!" + +But nothing happened. The tree was still big and far away. + +"Maybe we need to get closer," Tom said. He ran towards the tree, holding the staff. Jill followed him. + +They did not see the big dog that was sleeping under the tree. It was a mean dog that did not like children. It woke up when it heard them running. It saw the staff in Tom's hand and thought it was a stick. It wanted to play with the stick. + +The dog jumped up and ran after Tom and Jill. It barked loudly and showed its sharp teeth. Tom and Jill were scared. They tried to run away, but the dog was faster. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "Go away, dog!" + +But the dog did not go away. It caught up with Tom and bit his arm. Tom dropped the staff and screamed. The dog picked up the staff and ran away with it. + +Jill ran to Tom and hugged him. He was bleeding and crying. She was crying too. + +They were not safe. They were not wizards and witches. They were just children with a toy. And they had lost their toy to a bad dog. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a cabin in the woods. It was not a regular cabin. It was very small and had no door or windows. It looked like a toy. + +"Who lives here?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe a fairy or a mouse," Max said. + +They decided to look inside. They crawled into the cabin and saw a bed, a table, and a chair. Everything was very tiny and cute. + +"Wow, this is so cool!" Lily said. "Can we stay here?" + +Max shook his head. "No, we can't. This is not our cabin. We have to go back to our house." + +"But I want to play here," Lily said. "It's more fun than our house." + +Max thought for a moment. He liked the cabin too, but he knew they had to be careful. He had an idea. + +"How about we play here for a little while, and then we go back to our house?" he said. "We can come back another day, if we want." + +Lily nodded. She agreed with Max. They played with the tiny things in the cabin and pretended to be fairies and mice. They had a lot of fun. But they also remembered to go back to their house before it got dark. They said goodbye to the cabin and thanked it for letting them visit. They hoped to see it again soon. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the bathtub. They had many toys, like ducks, boats, and bubbles. But they also liked to steal each other's toys and make each other angry. + +One day, Lily saw Max playing with a new toy. It was a big, blue whale that could squirt water. Lily wanted the whale, so she waited until Max looked away and grabbed it. She ran to the other side of the bathtub and laughed. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Max shouted. "Give it back!" + +"No, it's mine now!" Lily said. "You have too many toys!" + +Max was very angry. He splashed water at Lily and tried to get the whale. Lily splashed back and held the whale tight. They fought and fought, making a big mess. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the bathroom. She saw the water on the floor and the twins fighting. She was very serious. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over a toy?" + +Lily and Max stopped fighting and looked at their mom. They felt bad. + +"We're sorry, mom," they said. + +Mom took the whale and gave it back to Max. She told Lily and Max to share their toys and not to steal. She told them to clean up the mess and get out of the bathtub. She said they had to say sorry to each other. + +Lily and Max did what mom said. They said sorry and hugged each other. They shared their toys and played nicely. They learned not to steal and to be kind. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to roll them fast and make loud noises. They pretended they were racing on a big road. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud boom outside. They looked out the window and saw dark clouds and bright flashes of lightning. They felt scared and ran to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, what is that?" Lila asked, pointing at the sky. + +"That is a storm, sweetie. Sometimes, the clouds make noise and lightning when they are angry. But don't worry, we are safe inside," mom said, hugging them. + +"Can we watch the lightning, mom? It is pretty," Ben said, peeking out the window. + +"Okay, but only from here. And be careful, the window is delicate. It can break if you hit it," mom said, holding their hands. + +Lila and Ben watched the lightning for a while. They saw different colors and shapes. They counted how many seconds passed between the boom and the flash. They learned that the lightning was far away when the count was high, and close when the count was low. + +They felt less scared and more curious. They asked mom many questions about the storm. Mom told them that the storm would soon pass, and that the rain would make the flowers and the grass grow. She also told them that the lightning was a way for the clouds to say hello to each other. + +Lila and Ben smiled. They thought the storm was not so bad after all. They thanked the clouds for the show and said hello back. They hoped the clouds would hear them and be happy. They went back to playing with their toy cars, but this time, they rolled them gently and quietly. They did not want to make the window break or the clouds angry. They wanted to be delicate and friendly, like the lightning. +Anna and Ben are on the same team. They like to play soccer with their friends. Today, they have a big game against another team. They are very excited and happy. + +Before the game, their coach talks to them. He says, "You are a great team. You work hard and have fun. You can win this game if you listen to each other and help each other. I am proud of you." + +Anna and Ben nod and smile. They say, "Thank you, coach. We will do our best." + +The game starts. Anna and Ben run fast and kick the ball. They pass the ball to their friends and try to score. The other team is also good. They run fast and kick the ball too. They try to stop Anna and Ben and their friends. + +The game is very close. Both teams have the same number of goals. There is not much time left. Anna sees Ben near the goal. She kicks the ball to him. Ben catches the ball with his foot. He sees a small space between the goalie and the post. He kicks the ball hard. + +The ball flies in the air. It goes past the goalie. It hits the post. It bounces into the goal. The whistle blows. The game is over. Anna and Ben's team wins! + +Anna and Ben blink. They can't believe it. They jump and hug. They shout, "We did it! We did it!" + +Their friends run to them. They jump and hug too. They shout, "You did it! You did it!" + +Their coach runs to them. He jumps and hugs too. He shouts, "You did it! You did it!" + +The other team is sad. They look pale. They walk to Anna and Ben's team. They say, "Good game. You played well." + +Anna and Ben's team says, "Thank you. You played well too." + +They shake hands and smile. They are good sports. They are happy. They are a great team. +Tim and Amy were best friends. They liked to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they found a big red ball. They wanted to kick it and throw it and roll it. + +"Let me have the ball, Tim!" Amy said. + +"No, it is my turn, Amy!" Tim said. + +They both pulled the ball hard. They heard a loud pop. The ball was broken. Air came out of it. The ball became small and flat. + +"Oh no, we broke the ball!" Amy said. She was fearful. She thought someone would be angry. + +"I am sorry, Amy. I did not mean to break the ball." Tim said. He was fearful too. He loved Amy and did not want to lose her. + +They hugged each other. They said they were sorry. They decided to tell the truth and ask for forgiveness. + +They went to the house. They saw Amy's mom. She was holding a new ball. It was blue and shiny. + +"I have a surprise for you, Amy. I bought you a new ball. Do you like it?" Amy's mom said. + +Amy and Tim looked at each other. They smiled. They told Amy's mom what happened to the old ball. They said they were sorry. + +Amy's mom was not angry. She was happy. She said they were brave and honest. She said she loved them both. She gave them the new ball. + +They thanked Amy's mom. They ran to the garden. They played with the new ball. They were careful not to break it. They were happy. They were best friends. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the living room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was the fireplace. They liked to observe the fire, how it danced and made warm and bright colors. Sometimes, they pretended to be firemen and put out the fire with their toy hoses. + +One day, their mom had to go out for a while. She told them to be good and not to touch the fire. She said she would be back soon. Tom and Lily said yes, mom, and waved goodbye. They played with their toys for a while, but then they got bored. They looked at the fireplace and wondered what it felt like. + +"Let's go closer," Tom said. "Maybe we can touch it." + +"No, mom said no," Lily said. "It's hot and dangerous." + +"But I want to see," Tom said. "It looks so pretty and fun." + +He got up and walked towards the fireplace. Lily followed him, trying to stop him. But Tom was faster and reached the fire. He stretched out his hand and touched a red coal. He screamed and pulled back his hand. It hurt a lot. He cried and cried. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She saw his hand was red and swollen. She was scared and sorry. She didn't know what to do. She looked for the phone to call mom, but she couldn't find it. She felt alone and helpless. + +The fire was still burning. It started to spread to the carpet and the curtains. It made more smoke and noise. Tom and Lily coughed and choked. They tried to run away, but the fire was everywhere. They couldn't escape. They held each other and cried. They wished mom was there. They wished they had listened to her. They wished they had never touched the fire. +Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were in different places. Sometimes they were pirates, sometimes they were astronauts, sometimes they were fairies. + +Today they wanted to be kings and queens. They looked for some clothes to wear in their wardrobe. They found a big red cloak, a shiny crown, a long blue dress and a furry cape. They put them on and felt very royal. + +"Let's go to our castle," said Lily. "We can have a tea party with our friends." + +"OK," said Ben. "But who will we include in our tea party?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She looked around the room and saw her teddy bear, her doll, her robot and her book. She smiled and said, "We can include all of them. They are our loyal subjects." + +Ben nodded and said, "That sounds fun. Let's go." + +They picked up their toys and carried them to their castle. Their castle was a big cardboard box that their dad had brought home. It had windows and a door and a flag on top. They put their toys inside and sat down on some pillows. + +They pretended to pour tea from a plastic pot and eat cookies from a paper plate. They talked to their toys and asked them how they were. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they heard their mom calling them. "Lily, Ben, it's time for lunch. Come downstairs, please." + +They looked at each other and sighed. They didn't want to leave their castle. They wanted to play more. + +"Can we come back later?" asked Lily. + +"Of course," said Ben. "Our castle will be here. And our toys will be dry and warm in the wardrobe." + +They took off their clothes and put them back in the wardrobe. They hugged their toys and said goodbye. They left their castle and went downstairs. + +They hoped they could play again soon. They loved being kings and queens. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see an old man. He has a big bag. He says, "Hello, children. Do you want some butter? I have a lot of butter in my bag. It is very good and tasty. You can have some if you come with me." + +Tom and Sue love butter. They think the old man is nice. They say, "Yes, please. We want some butter. Where do we go?" The old man smiles. He says, "Follow me. I will show you. It is not far. Just go with me." + +Tom and Sue follow the old man. They do not tell their moms and dads. They do not see the sign. The sign says, "Danger. Do not go. This is a bad place." They do not hear the dogs. The dogs bark and growl. They do not see the fence. The fence has wires and spikes. + +The old man leads them to a dark house. He says, "Here we are. This is where I keep my butter. Come inside. I will give you some." Tom and Sue are scared. They do not like the house. They do not see any butter. They see a big knife. The old man says, "I lied to you. I do not have any butter. I have something else. I have you. You are my dinner. Ha ha ha!" + +Tom and Sue scream. They try to run. But it is too late. The old man catches them. He cuts them with his knife. He cooks them in a pot. He eats them with bread. He says, "Mmm, delicious. I love children. They are better than butter." + +The end. + +Moral: Do not trust strangers. Do not go with them. Do not take their things. They may want to hurt you. Always tell your moms and dads where you are. Always listen to them. They know what is good and bad for you. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they plan to go to the store with Sam's mom. They want to buy some candy and stickers. + +They walk to the store with Sam's mom. They see a bald man. He has no hair on his head. He wears a hat. Tom and Sam think he is funny. They point at him and laugh. + +"Look, Sam, he has no hair!" Tom says. + +"Ha ha, he is bald!" Sam says. + +The bald man hears them. He is not happy. He takes off his hat. He shows them his head. He says, "Do you know why I have no hair? Because I am sick. I have to take medicine that makes my hair fall out. It is not funny. It is sad." + +Tom and Sam feel bad. They did not know. They are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mister. We did not mean to hurt you. We did not know you are sick. We hope you get better soon." + +The bald man smiles. He says, "Thank you, boys. That is very kind of you. I hope you enjoy your candy and stickers. Have a nice day." + +Tom and Sam say, "You too, mister. Bye bye." + +They go to the store with Sam's mom. They buy some candy and stickers. They share them with each other. They learn a lesson. They do not laugh at people who are different. They are nice to everyone. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the backyard. They had a big cardboard box that they pretended was a castle. They used crayons to draw windows and doors on the box. They also had some old clothes and hats that they wore as costumes. + +"Look at me, I am the king of the castle!" Tom said, putting on a shiny hat and a cape. "You are my queen, Lily, and we are very rich and happy." + +Lily smiled and nodded. She wore a dress and a necklace that sparkled in the sun. She liked playing with Tom. They had a lot of fun together. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big truck appear on the street. The truck had a sign that said "Recycling". It stopped in front of their house and a man got out. He saw the cardboard box and picked it up. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Tom shouted, running after the man. "That's our castle, give it back!" + +The man looked surprised. He did not see Tom and Lily before. He thought the box was trash. + +"I'm sorry, kid, I didn't know you were playing with it. It's just cardboard, you know. You can find another one." He said, putting the box in the truck. + +Tom and Lily felt sad and angry. They loved their cardboard castle. They worked hard to make it. They did not want to lose it. + +"Please, mister, can we have our castle back?" Lily asked, with tears in her eyes. "It's not just cardboard, it's our home. We are the king and queen, and we are very rich and happy." + +The man felt sorry for them. He saw how much they cared for their castle. He remembered how he used to play with cardboard boxes when he was a kid. + +"OK, OK, I'll give you your castle back. But you have to promise me something." He said, taking the box out of the truck. + +"What is it?" Tom and Lily asked, eagerly. + +"You have to promise me that you will always use your imagination and have fun. Cardboard is not just cardboard, it's whatever you want it to be. You can be the king and queen, or the astronauts, or the pirates, or anything else. You don't need to be rich to be happy, you just need to be creative and have friends." He said, handing them the box. + +Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They thanked the man and hugged him. They took their cardboard castle and put it back in the backyard. They put on their costumes and went inside the box. + +They were the king and queen, and they were very rich and happy. +One day, Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw many birds, flowers and bugs. They were happy and healthy. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big plane in the sky. It was shiny and fast. They wondered where it was going. They waved their arms and shouted, "Hello, plane!" + +The plane did not answer. But something else did. A small parachute appeared from the plane. It floated down and landed near Lily and Tom. They ran to see what it was. They found a box with a red cross on it. + +They opened the box and saw many things inside. There were bandages, medicine, water and food. There was also a note that said, "For the children in need. From the plane people." + +Lily and Tom were surprised and curious. They did not need these things. They had a home, a family and enough to eat and drink. They wondered who the plane people were and why they sent them this box. + +They decided to share the box with their friends. They took some of the things and put them in their backpacks. They left the rest of the box for others to find. They thanked the plane people and hoped they were healthy too. They went back to playing and having fun. +Sara was a squirrel who loved to collect nuts. She had a big pile of nuts in her tree house. She was very proud of her nuts and liked to show them to her friends. + +One day, she invited Ben, a rabbit, to come and see her nuts. Ben was very fast and liked to run and jump. He was also very curious and liked to touch everything. + +When Ben came to Sara's tree house, he saw the pile of nuts and said, "Wow, you have so many nuts! Can I have one?" + +Sara said, "No, these are my nuts. You can look, but don't touch." + +Ben nodded, but he really wanted to try a nut. He waited until Sara was not looking and took a nut from the pile. He bit into it and felt a sharp pain in his mouth. He spit out the nut and saw that it was not a nut at all, but a rock. + +Sara heard the noise and turned around. She saw Ben with a rock in his mouth and a nut in his paw. She realized that she had mixed up some rocks with her nuts by mistake. She felt very embarrassed and said, "Oh, Ben, I'm so sorry. I didn't know I had rocks in my pile. Are you okay?" + +Ben felt dizzy and said, "I'm okay, but my tooth hurts. Why did you have rocks in your pile?" + +Sara said, "I don't know. Maybe I picked them up when I was looking for nuts. I should have checked them before I brought them home." + +Ben said, "It's okay, Sara. It was a mistake. But next time, can you please give me a real nut?" + +Sara said, "Of course, Ben. Here, have this one. It's a real nut, I promise." + +She gave him a nut and they both laughed. They ate the nut together and became good friends. Sara learned to be more careful with her nuts and Ben learned to ask before he took something. They both had fun in Sara's tree house. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play at school. They have a big desk that they share. The desk has many things on it: books, crayons, toys, and stickers. + +One day, Sara and Ben have a fight. Sara wants to use the stickers to make a picture. Ben wants to use the stickers to make a car. They both pull on the stickers. The stickers split in half. Sara and Ben are sad and angry. + +"Give me the stickers!" Sara says. + +"No, they are mine!" Ben says. + +They push and pull on the desk. The desk shakes and wobbles. Then, the desk breaks. The desk splits in two. Sara and Ben are shocked and scared. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Sara says. + +"We broke the desk!" Ben says. + +They look at the desk. It is not dependable anymore. It cannot hold their things. They feel sorry and ashamed. + +They hear the teacher coming. They are afraid of getting in trouble. They quickly hug and say sorry to each other. + +"Sara, I'm sorry for being mean. You can have some of my stickers," Ben says. + +"Ben, I'm sorry for being selfish. You can have some of my stickers, too," Sara says. + +They smile and share the stickers. They try to fix the desk. They use tape and glue. They hope the teacher will not be mad. + +The teacher comes in. She sees the desk. She sees the tape and glue. She sees the stickers. She sees Sara and Ben. + +"What happened here?" the teacher asks. + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They tell the truth. + +"We had a fight. We split the stickers. We broke the desk. We are sorry," they say. + +The teacher nods. She is not mad. She is glad they are honest and sorry. She is proud they are friends again. + +"It's okay. Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them and to be kind to each other. You are good kids. You are dependable kids," she says. + +She hugs Sara and Ben. She helps them to clean up the desk. She gives them new stickers. They say thank you. They are happy. They play together. They share the desk. They share the stickers. They do not fight anymore. They are friends. +Sam and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big truck. The truck is modern. It has lights, sounds and a remote. They can make the truck go fast or slow, left or right. + +One day, they are playing with the truck in the park. They see a wild animal. It is a squirrel. The squirrel is curious. It runs to the truck and jumps on it. It bites the wires and the remote. The truck stops working. The lights and sounds are gone. Sam and Mia are sad and angry. + +They chase the squirrel away. They look at the truck and the remote. They are broken. They do not know how to fix them. They cry and hug the truck. + +A man sees them. He is kind. He is a mechanic. He knows how to fix things. He comes to them and asks what is wrong. They tell him about the squirrel and the truck. He smiles and says he can help. He takes the truck and the remote to his car. He has tools and parts. He works on them for a while. + +He comes back with the truck and the remote. He gives them to Sam and Mia. He says he fixed them. He shows them how to turn them on. The truck works again. The lights and sounds are back. Sam and Mia are happy and grateful. They thank the man and hug him. + +They play with the truck again. They are careful of the wild animals. They have fun. They learn that some people can fix things. They want to be like them when they grow up. +Tim and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +But then they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw an enormous reindeer. It had big antlers and a red nose. It was pulling a sleigh full of presents. The reindeer looked sad and tired. It stopped near the snowman and said, "Hello, children. I need your help. I am Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer. I have to deliver these presents to all the good boys and girls, but I have a problem. I lost my way in the snowstorm. Can you help me solve this problem?" + +Tim and Lily were surprised and excited. They loved Rudolph and his presents. They wanted to help him. They said, "Of course, Rudolph. We can help you. We have a map of the town. We can show you where to go. But first, you need to rest and eat something. You look very hungry and cold." + +They brought Rudolph some hay and water. They also gave him some cookies and milk. They wrapped him in a blanket and rubbed his nose. Rudolph felt much better. He thanked them and said, "You are very kind and smart, children. You have solved my problem. Now I can finish my job and make everyone happy. But before I go, I have a present for you. It is a special snow globe. It has a picture of me and you and your snowman. Whenever you shake it, it will snow and sparkle. It is a magic snow globe. It will remind you of this day and of our friendship." + +Tim and Lily were overjoyed. They hugged Rudolph and thanked him. They took the snow globe and shook it. It snowed and sparkled. They saw Rudolph fly away with his sleigh. They waved goodbye and said, "Merry Christmas, Rudolph. We love you. Come back soon." +Sara was lonely. She had no friends to play with. She only had her toys and her clock. Her clock was big and round. It had numbers and hands. It made a tick-tock sound. + +Every night, Sara would pray to God. She would ask God to send her a friend. She would say, "Dear God, please give me a friend. Someone who is kind and fun. Someone who likes me and my clock. Thank you, God. Amen." + +One day, Sara heard a knock on the door. She ran to open it. She saw a boy with a big smile. He said, "Hi, I'm Tom. I just moved next door. Can I play with you?" + +Sara was happy. She said, "Yes, you can. Come in. I have many toys and a clock. Do you like clocks?" + +Tom said, "I love clocks. They are cool and smart. They tell the time and make noises. Can I see your clock?" + +Sara and Tom went to Sara's room. They looked at the clock. They played with the toys. They talked and laughed. They became friends. + +Sara was not lonely anymore. She thanked God for answering her prayer. She said, "Dear God, thank you for giving me a friend. Tom is kind and fun. He likes me and my clock. You are good, God. Amen." +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a green bench near a big tree. Lily wanted to sit on the bench and rest. Max wanted to keep playing. + +"Let's sit on the bench, Max. I'm tired," Lily said. + +"No, Lily. I want to play more. The bench is boring," Max said. + +Lily and Max did not agree. They did not know what to do. They looked at each other and frowned. + +Then they heard a sound. It was a dog. A big, brown dog with a red collar. The dog was running towards them. It looked friendly and happy. It wagged its tail and barked. + +"Look, Lily. A dog! Do you like dogs?" Max asked. + +"Yes, Max. I like dogs. They are cute and fun," Lily answered. + +The dog reached them and licked their faces. It made them laugh and smile. They petted the dog and played with it. The dog liked them too. It rolled on the grass and chased a ball. + +Lily and Max decided to forget about the bench. They decided to play with the dog. They had a lot of fun. They made a new friend. The green bench was still there, but they did not care. They were happy. +Sara and Tom were twins. They liked to go to the mall with Mom. The mall had many shops and toys and people. Sara and Tom liked to look at everything. + +One day, Mom said they had to go to the mall to buy some things. Sara and Tom were happy. They put on their coats and hats and gloves. Mom helped them zip their coats. Zip, zip, zip. Sara and Tom liked the sound of the zip. + +They got in the car and drove to the mall. The mall was very big and bright. Sara and Tom saw a big tree with lights and balls. They saw a man with a red suit and a white beard. He was Santa. Sara and Tom wanted to talk to Santa. + +But Mom said they had to go to another shop first. She said they had to buy a gift for Grandma. Sara and Tom were troubled. They did not want to go to another shop. They wanted to see Santa. They started to cry and whine. + +Mom was troubled too. She did not want to make Sara and Tom sad. But she also did not want to forget Grandma. She tried to calm Sara and Tom. She said they could see Santa later. She said Grandma would be happy with their gift. She said they were good twins. + +Sara and Tom stopped crying and whining. They loved Mom and Grandma. They wanted to be good twins. They followed Mom to the shop. They helped Mom pick a gift for Grandma. It was a scarf with flowers. Sara and Tom liked the scarf. They hoped Grandma would like it too. + +Mom thanked Sara and Tom for being good twins. She said they could see Santa now. Sara and Tom were happy. They ran to the big tree. They waited in line. They smiled at Santa. They told him what they wanted for Christmas. Santa gave them a candy cane. Sara and Tom said thank you. They hugged Mom. They had a good day at the mall. +Lily and Max were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find new things. They had a big wardrobe where they kept their clothes and toys. Sometimes they would hide inside it and imagine they were in a different world. + +One day, they decided to examine the wardrobe more closely. They opened the doors and looked at the shelves and drawers. They found some old hats, scarves and gloves that belonged to their grandma. They tried them on and laughed at how funny they looked. + +But then they saw something that made them fearful. In the corner of the wardrobe, behind a pile of blankets, there was a dark hole. It looked like a tunnel that went deep into the wall. They wondered what was inside it and where it led to. + +"Let's go in and see," Max said bravely. He grabbed a flashlight and crawled towards the hole. + +"No, don't!" Lily cried. She was scared of the dark and of what might be in the hole. "It could be dangerous. There could be monsters or spiders or snakes." + +Max ignored her and entered the hole. He shone the flashlight around and saw nothing but dust and cobwebs. He felt curious and excited. He wanted to explore more. + +Lily waited for him outside the wardrobe. She felt lonely and worried. She wished he would come back soon. She called his name but got no answer. She started to cry. + +Then she heard a noise. It sounded like a growl. It came from the hole. She was terrified. She ran out of the room and looked for her mom. She hoped Max was okay. She hoped it was not a monster. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a big rocket. Sam has a small car. They want to have fun. + +"Can I drive your rocket?" Sam asks Tom. + +"No, it is mine. You can drive your car," Tom says. + +"But your rocket is cool. It can fly to the moon. My car can only go on the road," Sam says. + +"OK, you can drive my rocket. But be careful. It is old. It can break," Tom says. + +Sam is happy. He takes the rocket and puts it on the floor. He pushes a button. The rocket makes a loud noise. It starts to move. It goes faster and faster. It flies out of the window. + +"Oh no! My rocket!" Tom cries. + +"Sorry, Tom. I did not know it can fly," Sam says. + +They run to the window. They see the rocket in the sky. It is very high. It is very small. It looks like a star. + +"Wow, your rocket is amazing. It went to the moon," Sam says. + +"Maybe. But I miss it. It was my favorite toy," Tom says. + +They hug each other. They are still friends. They decide to play with something else. They hope the rocket will come back someday. +Lily did not like haircuts. They made her sit still and feel cold and wet. She did not like the scissors that snip-snip-snip near her ears. She did not like the comb that pull-pull-pull on her hair. She did not like the mirror that show-show-show her new look. + +One day, Mommy said, "Lily, we have to go to the salon. You need a haircut. Your hair is too long and messy." Lily shook her head and said, "No, no, no. I like my hair. I do not want a haircut." Mommy said, "Please, Lily. It will be quick and easy. You can hold your favorite toy and I will be with you." + +Lily did not want to go, but she had to. She took her toy bear and held it tight. Mommy took her hand and led her to the car. They drove to the salon. Lily saw the sign that said "Open". She felt scared and sad. + +They went inside. The salon was bright and noisy. There were many people and chairs and tools. Lily saw the scissors and the combs and the mirrors. She did not like them. She hid behind Mommy and said, "No, no, no. I do not want a haircut." + +Mommy said, "Lily, look. There is a nice lady who will cut your hair. She is very gentle and kind. She will give you a sticker and a lollipop when you are done. Do you want to meet her?" Lily peeked and saw the lady. She had a big smile and a pink apron. She said, "Hello, Lily. I am Tina. I am here to make you look pretty. Do you want to sit on this chair? It can go up and down and spin around. It is fun." + +Lily did not want to sit on the chair, but she saw the sticker and the lollipop. She liked them. She said, "Maybe, maybe, maybe. I want a sticker and a lollipop." Mommy said, "Good girl, Lily. Let's go to the chair. You can hold your bear and I will hold your hand. It will be over soon." + +Lily went to the chair. Tina put a cape around her and lifted her up. Lily held her bear and Mommy held her hand. Tina said, "Are you ready, Lily? I will just trim a little bit of your hair. It will not hurt. It will make you look neat and cute. You can watch in the mirror or close your eyes. It is up to you." + +Lily watched in the mirror. She saw Tina take the scissors and the comb. She heard the snip-snip-snip and the pull-pull-pull. She felt the cold and the wet. She did not like it. She wanted to cry and run away. But she did not. She was brave. She held her bear and Mommy held her hand. She said, "Okay, okay, okay. I can do this." + +Tina was quick and gentle. She cut Lily's hair and made it look nice. She said, "All done, Lily. You did a great job. You are so pretty. Do you want to see?" She turned the chair and showed Lily her new look. Lily saw her hair. It was shorter and smoother and shinier. She did not look like herself. She looked like someone else. + +Lily did not know what to say. She did not like her hair. She did not feel pretty. She felt sad and mad. She said, "No, no, no. I do not like my hair. I want my old hair. I want my old look." She cried and cried. She threw her bear and let go of Mommy's hand. She said, "I hate haircuts. I hate haircuts. I hate haircuts." + +Mommy said, "Oh, Lily. I am sorry. I know you do not like haircuts. But you have to have them sometimes. Your hair will grow back soon. You are still the same Lily. You are still my sweet and smart and beautiful girl. I love you no matter what. Here, take your sticker and your lollipop. They will make you feel better." + +Lily did not want the sticker and the lollipop. She did not want anything. She just wanted her old hair. She said, "No, no, no. I do not want anything. I just want my old hair." She sobbed and sobbed. + +Tina said, "Lily, I am sorry too. I did not mean to make you unhappy. I thought you would like your haircut. It is very pretty. But I understand. Sometimes I do not like my haircut either. It is okay to feel +Ben liked to learn new things. He liked to learn how to draw, how to count, how to sing. He also liked to learn how to ride his bike. He had a red bike with two big wheels and two small wheels. The small wheels helped him to balance and not fall. + +One day, his dad said, "Ben, you are very good at riding your bike. Do you want to try without the small wheels?" Ben nodded. He wanted to learn how to ride like a big boy. His dad took off the small wheels and gave him a helmet. "Be careful, Ben. And have fun," his dad said. + +Ben got on his bike and started to pedal. He felt a little wobbly, but he did not stop. He went faster and faster. He felt proud and happy. He saw a big hill ahead. He wanted to go down the hill and feel the wind in his face. He did not see the sign that said "Stop". + +He went down the hill very fast. He did not know how to brake. He saw a car coming from the other side. He was frightened. He screamed. He tried to turn, but it was too late. He hit the car with a loud bang. + +He fell off his bike and hurt his leg. He cried. His dad ran to him and hugged him. He checked his leg and saw a big cut. He said, "Ben, you are very brave, but you made a big mistake. You did not look at the sign. You did not stop. You did not learn the rules of the road. That is a very high price to pay for learning how to ride your bike. Next time, you have to be more careful and listen to me." + +Ben nodded. He was sorry. He was scared. He learned a hard lesson. He hoped his leg would heal soon. He hoped his bike was not broken. He hoped his dad was not angry. He hugged his dad and said, "I love you, dad. I'm sorry, dad. I will learn, dad." His dad smiled and said, "I love you too, Ben. I'm not angry, Ben. You will learn, Ben." They got in the car and went to the doctor. Ben learned a lot that day. +Anna likes to visit her grandma's house. Grandma has a big garden with many flowers and a colorful birdcage. Inside the birdcage, there are two birds that sing and play. Anna likes to watch them and talk to them. + +One day, Anna asks grandma, "Can I feed the birds, please?" + +Grandma smiles and says, "Of course, dear. Here is some seed. Be gentle and quiet, so you don't scare them." + +Anna takes the seed and walks to the birdcage. She opens the little door and puts her hand inside. The birds come closer and peck at the seed. Anna feels their soft feathers and their tiny beaks. She giggles and says, "Hello, birds. You are so pretty and nice. I am Anna. Do you like me?" + +The birds chirp and flap their wings. They seem to like Anna too. They hop on her fingers and nibble her hair. Anna smiles and says, "You are so funny and cute. I wish I could stay with you forever." + +Grandma watches Anna and the birds. She is happy to see them having fun. She thinks, "Anna is a sweet and kind girl. She loves animals and nature. She is my sunshine." +Sam and Mia were friends who liked to play with a basketball. They would bounce it, throw it, and catch it in the park. Sometimes they would share it with other kids, but sometimes they wanted it for themselves. + +One day, Sam and Mia were playing with the basketball when a big boy came and took it from them. He said it was his basketball and he would not give it back. Sam and Mia were very sad and angry. They asked him nicely to return it, but he laughed and ran away. + +Sam and Mia chased him, but he was too fast. They saw him go to a bench and sit down with the basketball. He looked very happy and proud. Sam and Mia felt very miserable and helpless. + +They decided to try one more thing. They sneaked up behind him and each grabbed one of his ears. They pinched them hard and shouted, "Give us back our basketball!" + +The big boy screamed and dropped the basketball. He rubbed his ears and glared at Sam and Mia. He called them mean names and threatened to hit them. But Sam and Mia did not care. They picked up the basketball and ran away. They were very happy and proud. + +They went back to the park and played with the basketball. They bounced it, threw it, and caught it. They also shared it with other kids who were nice and polite. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the big boy. They were very good friends. +Sara likes to skip. She skips in the park, she skips in the school, she skips at home. She thinks skipping is fun and makes her happy. She likes to skip with her friends, too. + +One day, Sara sees a flame. It is in a big metal box, and it is orange and yellow and red. It is very bright and warm. Sara thinks the flame is pretty and unique. She has never seen anything like it before. She wants to skip closer to the flame and see it better. + +But her mom sees her and stops her. She says, "No, Sara, don't skip to the flame. The flame is dangerous. It can hurt you and burn you. You have to stay away from the flame. It is not for playing. It is for cooking or heating or making light." + +Sara is sad. She does not understand why the flame is dangerous. She thinks it is just a nice and unique thing. She wants to skip with the flame and be friends with it. But she listens to her mom and stays away from the flame. She knows her mom loves her and wants her to be safe. + +She skips to her mom and gives her a hug. She says, "I love you, mom. Thank you for keeping me safe. But can I still look at the flame from far away? It is so pretty and unique." + +Her mom smiles and hugs her back. She says, "Yes, Sara, you can look at the flame from far away. But only with me or another grown-up. And never touch it or go near it. The flame is not for skipping. It is for other things. But you can still enjoy its beauty and uniqueness." + +Sara nods and smiles. She skips with her mom to a safe spot where they can watch the flame together. She thinks the flame is amazing and unique. But she also thinks skipping is amazing and unique. And she thinks her mom is the most amazing and unique of all. +Anna and Ben were restless. They did not want to sleep. They wanted to play and talk. + +"Anna, do you believe in fairies?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I do. Do you?" Anna said. + +"I do, too. I wish I could see one. Maybe they come at night when we are asleep," Ben said. + +"Maybe we can stay awake and see them. Let's look out the window," Anna said. + +They got out of bed and tiptoed to the window. They saw the moon and the stars and the trees. They did not see any fairies. + +"Maybe they are hiding. Maybe they are shy. Maybe they need a sign," Ben said. + +He took a crayon and a paper and drew a big point. He wrote "Fairies, please come" under the point. He taped the paper to the window. + +"Maybe they will see this and come to us," he said. + +He and Anna went back to bed and waited. They tried to keep their eyes open, but they were very sleepy. They fell asleep. + +In the morning, they woke up and ran to the window. They saw the paper with the point and the words. They also saw something else. On the window sill, there was a tiny flower and a shiny stone. They looked at each other and smiled. + +"Fairies!" they whispered. They believed. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to gather flowers in the park. They thought the flowers were very attractive and smelled good. They wanted to make some money, so they decided to sell the flowers to people who walked by. + +They made a sign that said "Flowers for sale, one price for all". They put the sign next to a basket full of flowers and waited for customers. Soon, a lady came and looked at the flowers. She smiled and said, "How much are these flowers?" + +Lily and Tom said, "One price for all. You can have as many as you want for five coins." + +The lady said, "That's a very good deal. I'll take all of them." She gave them five coins and took the whole basket. She walked away with a big smile. + +Lily and Tom were happy. They counted the coins and said, "We are rich! We can buy anything we want!" + +But then, they realized they had no more flowers. They looked around and saw that the park was empty. All the other flowers were gone. Someone had picked them all while they were selling theirs. + +They felt sad and angry. They had no more flowers to enjoy or to sell. They had lost their friends who liked to gather flowers with them. They had been greedy and foolish. + +They learned a hard lesson. The price of their flowers was too low. They should have been more careful and fair. They should have shared and respected the park. They should have valued their flowers and their friends more than money. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big ball of wool in their mom's closet. It was soft and colorful and they wanted to make something with it. + +"Let's make a scarf for mom," Lila said. "She will be happy and warm." + +"OK," Ben agreed. "But we have to share the wool. You can't take it all." + +"I promise," Lila said. "You can have half of it." + +They took the wool to their room and started to wrap it around their fingers. They made a long and wide scarf that looked like a rainbow. They were very proud of their work. + +"Look, we did it!" Lila said. "Mom will love it." + +"Yes, she will," Ben said. "But we have to hide it until her birthday. It's a surprise." + +"Where can we hide it?" Lila asked. + +"Under the bed," Ben said. "She won't look there." + +They put the scarf under the bed and covered it with a blanket. They smiled at each other and hugged. + +"We are good twins," Lila said. + +"Yes, we are," Ben said. "And we keep our promises." +Bunny and Mouse were friends. They liked to play in the land with grass and flowers. One day, Bunny saw a shiny ball in the land.

He bounced the ball high and low. He had fun. But he was clumsy. He did not see the big rock in the land. He tripped over the rock and fell. The ball flew away and landed in the pond. + +"Oh no! The ball is wet and dirty!" Bunny cried. + +He tried to get the ball out of the pond. But the water was deep and cold. He could not swim. He sank and sank. He was scared. + +"Help! Help!" Bunny shouted. + +Mouse heard Bunny. He ran to the pond. He saw Bunny in the water. He was sad and angry. + +"Bunny, you are a bad friend. You did not take care of my ball. You did not ask me to play with you. You did not listen to me. Now you are in trouble," Mouse said. + +He did not help Bunny. He turned away and left. Bunny was alone. He could not get out of the pond. He drowned. + +The end. + +Moral: Do not borrow things without permission. Do not be selfish and careless. Do not lose your friends. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They swing, slide and run. They are happy. + +One day, Lily's mom comes to the park. She has news. She says to Lily, "We have to move to a new house. Far away from here. You will go to a new school. You will make new friends." + +Lily is sad. She does not want to move. She does not want to leave Tom. She says to Tom, "I have to go. I will miss you. You are my best friend." + +Tom is sad too. He does not want Lily to go. He says to Lily, "I will miss you too. You are my best friend. Can we write letters? Can we call each other?" + +Lily's mom says, "Yes, you can. We will keep in touch. Don't worry. You will be happy in your new home. You will see." + +Lily and Tom hug. They say goodbye. They promise to be friends forever. They are sad, but they are brave. They hope to see each other again. +Sara and Tom wanted to watch a movie with their mom and dad. They liked movies with animals and songs. Mom and dad said they could watch a movie if they behaved well. Sara and Tom said they would behave well. + +They went to the big place where they showed movies. They saw many people and lights and noises. Sara and Tom felt excited. They got popcorn and juice. Mom and dad said popcorn and juice were yummy. Sara and Tom agreed. + +They found their seats and waited for the movie to start. The movie was about a lion and a mouse who became friends. Sara and Tom liked the lion and the mouse. They laughed and clapped when they saw them do funny things. + +But then Sara and Tom got bored. They wanted to do something else. They started to talk and move and kick the seats in front of them. Mom and dad told them to be quiet and sit still. Sara and Tom did not listen. They said they did not like the movie. They wanted to go home. + +The people around them got angry. They said Sara and Tom were rude and noisy. They told mom and dad to make them behave. Mom and dad felt ashamed and sorry. They took Sara and Tom out of the big place. They said they were very disappointed and angry. They said Sara and Tom could not watch any more movies for a long time. Sara and Tom cried and said they were sorry. But it was too late. They had ruined the movie for everyone. They had not behaved well. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big sausage on the table. It smelled good and they were hungry. + +"Let's eat the sausage!" Tom said. + +"No, we can't. It is for dinner. Mom said so." Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He grabbed the sausage and ran away. Lily followed him. + +"Tom, stop! Give back the sausage!" Lily shouted. + +Tom ran into the garden, where he saw a big dog. The dog saw the sausage and barked. It wanted the sausage too. + +"Go away, dog! This is my sausage!" Tom said. + +But the dog did not go away. It jumped on Tom and tried to take the sausage. Tom was scared and cried. + +"Help! Help!" Tom screamed. + +Lily heard Tom and ran to him. She saw the dog and the sausage. She was brave and gentle. She spoke to the dog in a soft voice. + +"Good dog, good dog. Don't hurt Tom. He is sorry. He will give you the sausage. Please be nice." Lily said. + +The dog listened to Lily. It stopped jumping on Tom and wagged its tail. It took the sausage from Tom and ate it happily. + +Tom was glad that Lily helped him. He hugged her and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was bad. I should not have taken the sausage. I should have listened to you and Mom." Tom said. + +"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But don't do it again. We should share and obey." Lily said. + +They went back to the house and told Mom what happened. Mom was not happy, but she was proud of Lily. She gave them both a hug and a cookie. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and selfish. Listen to your elders and respect their rules. Be brave and gentle when you face problems. Share and obey. +Sara and Ben are going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They have big luggage with clothes and toys. They are very happy and excited. They go to the airport and wait for their plane. + +"Look, Sara, there is our plane!" Ben says, pointing at the sky. + +"Wow, it is so big and shiny!" Sara says, clapping her hands. + +They follow Mom and Dad to the gate. A nice lady checks their tickets and smiles. + +"Have a nice flight, Sara and Ben.

Please enjoy the flight and the service." + +The plane starts to move and goes faster and faster. Sara and Ben feel a little scared, but also curious. They look out the window and see the ground getting smaller and smaller. + +"Wow, we are flying!" Sara says. + +"It is like a magic carpet!" Ben says. + +They see clouds and birds and the sun. They are very happy and excited. They are going on a trip. They are lucky. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park. They had a big tent that they made with a sheet and some sticks. They pretended it was their castle. + +One day, they saw a new slide in the park. It was very high and shiny. Anna and Ben wanted to try it. They ran to the slide and climbed the ladder. Anna went first. She slid down very fast and laughed. She felt happy. + +Ben followed her. He slid down too, but he was scared. He closed his eyes and screamed. He did not like the slide. He felt sad. + +Anna saw Ben crying. She ran to him and hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. You don't have to slide if you don't want to. We can play in our tent. It's cozy and fun." + +Ben nodded. He wiped his tears and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. I like our tent. It's humble and nice." + +They walked back to their tent and played with their toys. They forgot about the slide. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. But today, the sky is dark and loud. They hear a big boom and see a bright flash. It is lightning! + +Sara is scared. She runs to the house and hugs Mom. Mom says, "Don't worry, Sara. Lightning is just a big spark in the sky. It can't hurt you if you are inside." + +Ben is not scared. He thinks lightning is cool. He wants to look at it more. He stays outside and watches the sky. He sees another flash and boom. He smiles and claps. + +But then, he sees something else. It is a big, black cloud. It is coming fast. It has rain and wind and hail. Ben is not happy. He wants to go inside. But he is too far from the house. He is wet and cold and scared. + +Sara sees Ben from the window. She feels sorry for him. She says, "Mom, Ben is outside. He is in trouble. We have to help him." + +Mom says, "You are right, Sara. Let's go get him." She takes Sara's hand and runs outside. They find Ben under a tree. He is shivering and crying. Mom hugs him and says, "It's okay, Ben. We are here. Let's go inside." + +They go inside and dry off. Mom makes them hot cocoa and cookies. She says, "You are both lucky. Lightning can be dangerous. You should never stay outside when there is a storm. You should always listen to Mom." + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too. Now, let's enjoy our cocoa and cookies and watch the storm from the window." +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and splash in the pool. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very wet and dirty. + +"Look, Lily, look!" Ben said, pointing to the sky. "The sun is going away. It will be dark soon." + +Lily looked up and saw the sun was hiding behind the clouds. She felt a little cold and shivered. + +"Let's go inside, Ben," she said. "We need to get dry and warm." + +They ran to the house, holding hands. They saw their mom waiting for them at the door. She had a big smile and two towels in her arms. + +"Hello, my lovely children," she said. "You look like you had a lot of fun. But you also look like you need a bath." + +She wrapped them in the towels and hugged them. They felt cozy and safe. + +"Thank you, mom," they said. "We love you." + +They followed their mom to the bathroom, where she had prepared a warm and bubbly bath for them. They washed and rinsed and played with their toys. They felt clean and happy. + +They did not know that their mom had a surprise for them. She had baked a cake and decorated it with candles and sprinkles.

But when she got there, her best friend Beth noticed that the blouse had a tear in it. She asked Sue why she would wear such a damaged blouse. Sue told Beth about the deal she made with the shopkeeper and Beth was shocked. She warned Sue that she should never make deals with strangers. + +The moral of this story is that it is never a good idea to make deals with strangers. Even when something looks reliable, it may not always be what it seems. +Once upon a time, Peter wanted to do something special. He wanted to dance!

One brother was called John and the other one was called Joe. John owned a reliable car and Joe owned a toy tooth. + +John and Joe got in a fight because Joe wanted to use John's car. John told Joe that he could not have the car because he owns a toy tooth. + +Joe was sad and did not understand why he could not have the car.

"If you do, I'll be your friend again. If you don't, you're a chicken." + +Lily looked at Ben. She didn't want to be a chicken. She wanted to be brave. She wanted to keep Ben as her friend. She decided to take the dare. + +"Okay, I'll do it," Lily said. "Watch me." + +She held the toy aeroplane in her hand. She threw it in the air as hard as she could.

She cried. + +"My toy aeroplane! My toy aeroplane! It's broken! It's broken!" Lily sobbed. + +Ben felt sorry for Lily. He realized he was mean. He didn't want to make Lily cry. He wanted to help her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I shouldn't have dared you. It was a bad dare. I'm sorry I made you break your toy aeroplane." + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw he was sorry. She stopped crying. She forgave him. + +"It's okay, Ben," Lily said. "I shouldn't have been selfish. It was a nice toy aeroplane. I should have shared it with you." + +Ben hugged Lily. Lily hugged Ben. They were friends again. + +They decided to play something else. They saw a swing. They took turns on the swing. They had fun. They forgot about the toy aeroplane. They looked at the sky. They saw another big aeroplane. They smiled. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. Lily is eager to go on the slide. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Ben is not so eager. He is scared of the slide. He walks slowly to the slide and looks up. + +Lily is at the top of the slide. She smiles at Ben and says, "Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Ben shakes his head and says, "No, Lily, it is too high!" Lily says, "Don't be scared, Ben, I will catch you!" Ben says, "No, Lily, I don't want to go!" + +Lily slides down the slide. She laughs and says, "Whee!" She lands on the ground and looks at Ben. Ben is still at the bottom of the slide. He looks sad. Lily says, "Ben, why don't you try the slide? It is not scary, it is fun!" Ben says, "Lily, I don't like the slide. It seems too fast and too steep!" + +Lily says, "Ben, you are my friend. I want you to have fun with me. The slide is not fast and not steep. It is just right. Trust me, Ben, you will like it!" Ben says, "Lily, you are my friend too. But I am afraid of the slide. Can we play something else?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She says, "OK, Ben, we can play something else. How about the swings? Do you like the swings?" Ben says, "Yes, Lily, I like the swings. They are not scary, they are fun!" Lily says, "Great, Ben, let's go to the swings then!" They run to the swings and swing together. They are happy. They are friends. +It was a cold day. Lily and Tom did not want to go outside. They wanted to stay inside and play with their toys. Mom said they could stay, but they had to be good and not make a mess. + +Mom made some cocoa for Lily and Tom. She put it in two cups and gave them to the kids. She said, "Be careful, it is hot. Do not spill it on the floor or on your clothes." Lily and Tom said, "OK, Mom. Thank you for the cocoa." + +Lily and Tom drank their cocoa slowly. It was sweet and warm. It made them feel cozy and happy. They talked and laughed and shared their toys. They did not spill their cocoa or make a mess. They were good kids. + +Mom came back and saw them. She smiled and said, "You are such good kids. I am proud of you. Do you want more cocoa?" Lily and Tom said, "Yes, please. We love cocoa." Mom made more cocoa for them and gave them a hug. They hugged her back and said, "We love you, Mom." +Tom and Lily like to play catch with their ball. They throw the ball to each other and try to catch it. Sometimes they miss and the ball rolls away. They run after the ball and laugh. + +One day, they play catch near their neighbor's house. Their neighbor is mean and scary. He does not like kids or noise. He has a big dog that barks a lot. He also has a fake leg that he can take off and put on. + +Tom throws the ball to Lily, but he throws it too hard. The ball flies over Lily's head and lands in the neighbor's yard. Lily gasps and Tom says, "Oh no!" + +They see the neighbor come out of his house. He is angry and he has his fake leg in his hand. He sees the ball and he sees Tom and Lily. He yells, "Get off my lawn, you little brats! I'll teach you a lesson!" + +He throws his fake leg at them like a spear. Tom and Lily are scared and they try to run away. But the fake leg is fast and sharp. It hits Tom in the back and makes him fall. He cries out in pain and blood. + +Lily screams and runs to Tom. She tries to help him, but the neighbor and his dog are coming. The neighbor grabs Lily by the hair and the dog bites her arm. They drag her and Tom into their house and slam the door. + +No one hears them or sees them again. They are gone. The ball is still in the yard. It is lonely and sad. The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were on a magic rug that could fly. They took turns to carry the rug and run around the room, making whooshing sounds. + +"Look, I'm a bird!" Lily said, flapping her arms. "I can see the sky and the trees and the clouds!" + +"Me too, me too!" Tom said, grabbing the rug from Lily. "I'm a dragon! I can breathe fire and scare everyone!" + +But Tom ran too fast and tripped over a toy. He fell down and the rug flew out of his hands. It landed on the sofa, where Mom was reading a book. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Mom said, looking up. "This is not a toy, this is a rug. It belongs on the floor, not on the sofa." + +"But Mom, we were playing!" Lily said, running to the sofa. "We were on a magic rug that could fly!" + +"Well, you can play with something else," Mom said, taking the rug and folding it. "This rug is old and fragile. It might tear or get dirty if you carry it around. Why don't you play with your blocks or your dolls?" + +Lily and Tom felt sad. They liked the rug. It was soft and colorful and jolly. They wanted to fly on it again. + +"Please, Mom, can we have the rug back?" Tom said, making a puppy face. "We'll be careful, we promise." + +Mom looked at their faces and smiled. She knew they loved the rug. She remembered how she used to play with it when she was a child. + +"Okay, okay," she said, giving them the rug. "But only for a little while. And don't run too fast or too far. And don't put it on the sofa again. Deal?" + +"Deal!" Lily and Tom said, hugging the rug. "Thank you, Mom!" + +They spread the rug on the floor and climbed on it. They held hands and pretended to fly again. They were happy and jolly. Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy and jolly too. +Tommy was a tall boy who liked to play outside at night. He had a special jacket that could glow in the dark. He felt like a superhero when he wore it. He liked to run and jump and pretend he was flying. + +One night, he saw a new kid in the park. He was smaller than Tommy and had a red hat. He looked scared and lonely. Tommy wanted to be his friend. He ran over to him and said, "Hi, I'm Tommy. Do you want to play with me?" + +The new kid looked at Tommy's jacket and said, "Wow, your jacket is cool. It glows like a star. Can I try it on?" + +Tommy was happy that the new kid liked his jacket. He said, "Sure, you can try it on. But you have to give it back to me later. It's my favorite jacket." + +The new kid nodded and put on the jacket. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Tommy. You are very nice. What's your name?" + +Tommy was confused. He said, "I just told you. I'm Tommy." + +The new kid said, "Oh, sorry. I forgot. I'm Billy. Do you want to play tag?" + +Tommy said, "Yes, I love tag. You're it!" He tapped Billy on the shoulder and ran away. + +Billy chased Tommy around the park. They had fun and laughed a lot. Tommy felt like he had a new friend. + +But then, Billy saw something shiny on the ground. It was a coin. He stopped and picked it up. He said, "Look, Tommy, I found a coin. It's shiny and pretty. I want to keep it." + +Tommy said, "That's nice, Billy. But we have to go home soon. It's getting late. Can you give me back my jacket now?" + +Billy said, "No, I don't want to. I like your jacket. It's mine now. And so is the coin. Go away, Tommy. You're not my friend." + +Tommy was sad and angry. He said, "That's not fair, Billy. You can't keep my jacket. It's mine. You said you would give it back to me. You're a bad kid. Give it back to me now!" + +Billy said, "No, I won't. You can't make me. You're a big bully. Leave me alone!" + +They started to fight. They pushed and pulled and shouted. They forgot about the coin. It rolled away and fell into a hole. + +A man who was walking his dog saw them. He said, "Hey, what are you kids doing? Stop fighting. You're making a lot of noise. What's the problem?" + +Tommy said, "He took my jacket and he won't give it back. It's my special jacket. It glows in the dark. He's a thief and a liar." + +Billy said, "No, I'm not. It's my jacket. He gave it to me. He's a meanie and a crybaby." + +The man said, "Calm down, both of you. Let me see the jacket. Maybe there's a way to tell who it belongs to." + +He looked at the jacket. He saw a tag inside. It had Tommy's name on it. He said, "Look, this jacket has a name on it. It says Tommy. Is that your name, son?" + +Tommy said, "Yes, that's me. That's my jacket. See, I told you." + +The man said, "Well, then, it's clear. This jacket belongs to Tommy. Billy, you have to give it back to him. You can't keep something that's not yours. That's not nice. That's not how you make friends." + +Billy said, "But I like the jacket. It's cool. I don't have a jacket like that. I don't have any friends." + +The man said, "I'm sorry, Billy. But you can't take what's not yours. Maybe you can ask Tommy if he wants to share it with you. Maybe he can let you wear it sometimes. Maybe you can be friends. But you have to be honest and kind. That's how you make friends." + +Billy looked at Tommy. He felt sorry for what he did. He said, "I'm sorry, Tommy. I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken your jacket. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends?" + +Tommy looked at Billy. He saw that he was sorry. He said, "It's okay, Billy. I forgive you. You can wear my jacket sometimes. But you have to give it back to me when I ask. And you have to be nice to me. Then we can be friends." + +Billy said, "Thank you, Tommy +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. They saw a big tree with many apples on it. They wanted to pick some apples and eat them. + +"Look, Sam, so many apples! Let's climb the tree and get some!" Tom said. + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. The tree is very high and the apples are very red. Maybe they are not good for us." Sam said. + +They climbed the tree and reached for the apples. They were juicy and sweet. They ate and ate until they were full. + +But they did not know that the tree belonged to a wealthy man who lived in a big house near the park. He was very mean and did not like children. He saw them eating his apples and got very angry. + +"Hey, you little thieves! Get down from my tree and give me back my apples! Or I will call the police!" He yelled. + +Tom and Sam were scared. They tried to get down from the tree, but they were too high and the branches were too thin. They slipped and fell to the ground. They hurt their heads and legs and cried. + +The wealthy man came and took his apples. He did not help them or say sorry. He just laughed and went back to his house. + +Tom and Sam were very sad and in pain. They wished they had not climbed the tree and eaten the apples. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Lily was very excited for her birthday. She had a big calendar on her wall with a sticker on the day of her birthday. She counted the days every morning and night. She wanted to have a party with her friends and a cake with candles. + +But her big brother Ben did not care about her birthday. He was busy with his games and books. He always ignored Lily when she tried to talk to him. He said she was too little and annoying. He never played with her or helped her with anything. + +One day, Lily had a bad dream. She dreamed that a scary monster came to her room and took her calendar away. She woke up crying and ran to Ben's room. She knocked on his door and said, "Ben, Ben, please help me! I had a bad dream!" + +But Ben did not open the door. He said, "Go away, Lily. I don't want to hear your silly dream. You are too loud and you bother me. Leave me alone!" + +Lily felt very sad and lonely. She went back to her room and hugged her teddy bear. She wished that Ben would be nicer to her and care about her birthday. + +The next morning, Lily was surprised to see a big banner on her door. It said, "Happy Birthday, Lily!" She opened the door and saw Ben smiling at her. He had a big box in his hands. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you yesterday. I was having a bad day and I took it out on you. I really love you and I want to make you happy. I made you a present. It's a new calendar with stickers and drawings of your favorite things. And I also invited your friends for a party. Will you forgive me?" + +Lily was so happy that she hugged Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are the best brother ever. I forgive you and I love you too. Let's have fun at the party!" + +They went downstairs and saw a big cake with candles on the table. Their parents and friends were waiting for them. They sang, "Happy Birthday, Lily!" and Lily blew out the candles. She made a wish that Ben and she would always be friends. +Tim and Jen are twins. They are three years old. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. + +Today is their birthday. They are very happy. They have a big cake with candles. They have balloons and hats. They have friends and family. They celebrate their birthday. + +Tim and Jen want to play with their cars and trucks. They take them to the living room. They make noises and pretend to be drivers. They zoom and beep and honk. + +But they are too loud. Mom and Dad are talking to the guests. They ask Tim and Jen to be quiet. Tim and Jen do not listen. They keep playing with their cars and trucks. + +Mom and Dad are angry. They take away their cars and trucks. They tell Tim and Jen to sit on the couch. They say they are rude and naughty. Tim and Jen are sad. They are embarrassed. They say they are sorry. + +Mom and Dad hug them. They say they love them. They say they can have their cars and trucks back later. They say they can play with their friends and family. They say they are proud of them. Tim and Jen are happy. They celebrate their birthday. +One day, a boy and a girl went to play in the forest. They liked to look for bugs and flowers and climb trees. They were having fun until they heard a loud roar. They saw a big dragon with red scales and yellow eyes. The dragon was angry and hungry. He wanted to eat the children. + +The boy and the girl were frightened. They ran away from the dragon, but the dragon was faster. He flew over them and breathed fire. The fire burned the trees and the grass. The children could not see where to go. They cried for help. + +The dragon landed in front of them and opened his mouth. He said, "Don't be afraid. I just want to talk to you. I am lonely and bored. I have no friends in the forest. Will you be my friends?" + +The children were surprised. They thought the dragon was mean and scary, but he sounded sad and nice. They stopped crying and looked at the dragon. They said, "You want to be our friend? But you chased us and burned the forest. You scared us and hurt the animals. That is not how friends act." + +The dragon felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to get your attention. I don't know how to make friends. I never learned. Please forgive me. I can be a good friend. I can show you many things in the forest. I can teach you how to fly and breathe fire. I can protect you from danger. Please give me a chance." + +The children felt sorry for the dragon too. They said, "Maybe we can be your friends. But you have to promise to be nice and gentle. You have to promise not to hurt anyone or anything. You have to promise to share and listen and play fair. Can you do that?" + +The dragon nodded. He said, "I promise. I will do anything to be your friend. Thank you for giving me a chance. You are very kind and brave. Come, let me show you my cave. It is very cozy and warm. You will like it there." + +The children followed the dragon to his cave. They did not know that the dragon was lying. He did not want to be their friend. He wanted to eat them. He was very clever and tricky. He knew how to talk like a friend, but he was not a friend. He was a monster. + +When they reached the cave, the dragon locked the entrance with a big rock. He said, "Now you are my guests. You will stay here forever. You will never see your family or friends again. You will only see me. And I will see you. As my dinner." + +The children realized they had made a big mistake. They had trusted the dragon. They had followed him to his trap. They had no way to escape. They were doomed. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. The dragon laughed and licked his lips. He was ready to feast. The end. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the yard. They had a ball, a bike, and a kite. They had fun with their toys, but they also liked to tease each other. Sometimes they took each other's toys or pushed each other down. + +One day, they were playing with the kite. Tom was holding the string and Sam was running with the kite. Tom saw a big bird in the sky and wanted to make the kite fly higher. He pulled the string hard and the kite went up, up, up. But then the string broke and the kite flew away. + +"Tom, you broke the kite!" Sam cried. "You are bad!" + +"Sam, you ran too fast!" Tom said. "You are silly!" + +They both blamed each other and started to fight. They hit and kicked and shouted. They did not see the big bird coming down. The bird saw the kite and wanted to catch it. It swooped down and grabbed the kite in its claws. Then it saw Tom and Sam fighting and thought they were also toys. It flew down and grabbed Tom by his shirt and Sam by his pants. It lifted them up in the air and carried them away. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Sam screamed. They were scared and helpless. They could not fight the bird or each other. They could only hold on to the bird and hope for help. + +"Mom! Dad! Help us!" they cried. + +Mom and Dad heard their cries and ran out of the house. They saw the bird and the boys in the sky. They were shocked and worried. They did not know what to do. + +"Let go of our boys, you bad bird!" Mom shouted. + +"Drop them in the yard, you mean bird!" Dad yelled. + +The bird did not listen. It flew higher and higher. It wanted to take the boys and the kite to its nest. + +Tom and Sam realized they were in big trouble. They wished they had not fought. They wished they had shared their toys. They wished they had been kind to each other. + +"Tom, I'm sorry I ran too fast," Sam said. + +"Sam, I'm sorry I pulled the string hard," Tom said. + +They hugged each other and said they loved each other. They prayed for help. + +The bird heard their words and felt their love. It felt sorry for them. It did not want to hurt them. It decided to let them go. It flew over the yard and dropped them gently on the grass. Then it flew away with the kite. + +Tom and Sam landed safely on the ground. They were happy and relieved. They thanked the bird and thanked God. They ran to their mom and dad and hugged them. They said they were sorry for fighting and promised to be good. + +Mom and Dad were glad and proud. They kissed and praised them. They said they were happy they were safe and learned their lesson. + +They all went inside the house and had some cookies and milk. They talked and laughed and played. They were a happy family. + +The end. + +Moral: Fighting is bad and love is good. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big truck. The truck has a sign that says "Popcorn". + +"Look, popcorn!" Tom says. "I want some popcorn. Do you want some popcorn, Anna?" + +"Yes, I do!" Anna says. "Popcorn is yummy. Let's ask our moms if we can have some popcorn." + +They run to their moms and ask them. Their moms say yes. They give them some money. Tom and Anna go to the truck. They see a man. The man is making popcorn. He has a big pot. The pot is hot. The popcorn is popping. Pop, pop, pop! + +"Hello, kids!" the man says. "Do you want some popcorn?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Anna say. + +The man gives them each a bag of popcorn. The popcorn is warm and salty. It smells good. + +"Thank you, sir!" Tom and Anna say. + +"You're welcome, kids!" the man says. "Enjoy your popcorn!" + +Tom and Anna go back to their moms. They sit on a bench. They eat their popcorn. They share some with their moms. They are happy. + +"Popcorn is so good!" Tom says. + +"I agree!" Anna says. + +They call the man who makes popcorn "the popcorn man". They like the popcorn man. They hope to see him again. +Timmy was a little boy who liked to play outside. He had a big yard with grass and flowers and a fence. He also had a dog named Spot, who was his best friend. Spot was white with black spots, and he liked to run and jump and bark. + +One day, Timmy and Spot were playing in the yard, when they saw something strange. It was a big brown animal with long ears and a fluffy tail. It was a rabbit, but Timmy did not know that. He had never seen a rabbit before. He wondered what it was, and why it was in his yard. + +Spot saw the rabbit too, and he wanted to chase it. He ran towards it, barking loudly. The rabbit was scared, and it ran away. It ran under the fence, and into the woods. Spot followed it, and he squeezed under the fence too. Timmy ran after them, but he could not fit under the fence. He called for Spot, but Spot did not come back. + +Timmy was sad and worried. He did not know where Spot was, or if he was okay. He waited by the fence, hoping to see him. He waited for a long time, but Spot did not come back. + +Then, he heard a noise. It was Spot, barking happily. He came back from the woods, and ran to Timmy. He licked Timmy's face, and wagged his tail. Timmy was so happy to see him. He hugged him, and told him he was a good dog. + +But Spot was not white with black spots anymore. He was filthy. He had mud and leaves and sticks all over him. He had also caught the rabbit, and he had it in his mouth. He dropped it on the ground, and looked at Timmy. He was proud of his catch. + +Timmy looked at the rabbit, and he felt sorry for it. He did not want Spot to hurt it. He took it from Spot, and he held it gently. He saw that it was still alive, but it was scared and hurt. He wondered what to do with it. He decided to take it inside, and try to help it. + +He carried the rabbit to the house, and Spot followed him. He showed the rabbit to his mom, and told her what happened. His mom was surprised, and she told him he was a brave and kind boy. She helped him clean the rabbit, and bandage its wounds. She also cleaned Spot, and gave him a treat. + +Timmy and Spot were happy. They had a new friend, the rabbit. They named it Fluffy, and they played with it gently. They learned to be careful with animals, and to respect their lives. They also learned to wonder about the world, and to explore it with curiosity and love. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to make things. One day, they found some red paper and scissors in their room. They decided to cut out some poppies and decorate their wall with them. + +"Look, Ben, I made a big poppy. It is so pretty and bright," Lily said, showing her brother her paper flower. + +"Mine is bigger and prettier, Lily. See, I added some glitter and stickers to make it shine," Ben said, holding up his poppy. + +They both stuck their poppies on the wall, but Ben's poppy was so heavy that it fell down. Lily laughed and said, "Your poppy is too fancy, Ben. It does not stay on the wall." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He said, "Your poppy is too humble, Lily. It is boring and plain." + +They started to argue and pull each other's poppies. They tore them and made a mess. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the paper and the glue and the tears. She said, "What happened here, Lily and Ben? Why did you ruin your poppies?" + +Lily and Ben told their mom what they said and did. Their mom shook her head and said, "You both made beautiful poppies, but you did not appreciate them. You only compared them and criticized them. You should be proud of your own work and respect each other's work. Poppies are not meant to be fancy or humble. They are meant to be a symbol of love and peace." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They hugged each other and said, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, poppies. We love you and we love each other." + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's good, my darlings. Now, let's clean up this mess and make some new poppies. And this time, let's decorate them with kindness and gratitude." +Anna likes to draw with her crayons. She has many colorful crayons in a big box. She draws flowers and trees and animals on paper. She is happy when she draws. + +One day, she wants to draw on the wall. She thinks the wall is too white and boring. She takes her crayons and starts to draw on the wall. She draws a big sun and a rainbow and a house. She does not notice her mom coming into the room. + +Mom sees the wall and is very angry. She sees the colorful marks on the wall. She says, "Anna, what did you do? You are not supposed to draw on the wall. That is bad. You have to clean the wall now." + +Anna is scared and sad. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to make the wall pretty. I like to draw with my crayons." + +Mom says, "I know you like to draw, but you have to draw on paper, not on the wall. The wall is not for drawing. The crayons are not for the wall. You have to use a sponge and water to clean the wall. And you have to put your crayons back in the box." + +Anna nods and says, "OK, mom. I will clean the wall and put my crayons back. I will not draw on the wall again." + +Mom hugs Anna and says, "I love you, Anna. But please, be careful with your crayons. They are colorful, but they can make a big mess." +Lily and Tom like to observe animals. They go to the park with Mom and Dad. They see birds, squirrels, and ducks. They have fun. + +One day, they see something new. It is long and thin and has scales. It moves on the ground without legs. It is a snake. + +Lily and Tom are curious. They want to observe the snake. They go closer. The snake sees them. It hisses and coils. It is angry. + +Lily and Tom are scared. They run away. They find Mom and Dad. They tell them about the snake. Mom and Dad hug them. They say the snake is not a friend. They say they should not go near it. + +Lily and Tom nod. They learn a lesson. They observe the snake from far away. They see it slither into a hole. The hole is empty. The snake is gone. They are safe. They are happy. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play outside. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red fly. A fly was a thing that you could pull with a string and it would go up in the air. Tim and Kim loved to watch their fly go high and make shapes with the string. + +One day, they saw a man who had a bigger and prettier fly. It had many colors and sparkles and made a funny sound. The man was rich and he did not like to share. He said, "This is my fly and you can't have it. Go away, you little rats!" + +Tim and Kim felt sad and angry. They wanted the rich man's fly. They thought it was not fair that he had such a nice fly and they had only a plain one. They decided to take his fly when he was not looking. They waited until he went to buy a drink and then they ran to his fly. They pulled the string hard and tried to run away with it. + +But the rich man saw them and he was very mad. He shouted, "Hey, you thieves! Give me back my fly!" He chased them and caught them. He took his fly and he also took their fly. He said, "Now you have no fly at all. That's what you get for being greedy and dishonest. You should learn to be happy with what you have and not steal from others." + +Tim and Kim cried and begged for their fly back, but the rich man did not listen. He left them alone and went away with both flies. Tim and Kim felt sorry for what they did, but it was too late. They had lost their fly and their fun. They learned a hard lesson that day: stealing is wrong and it does not make you happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big bed with a zip. They can zip the bed and make a tent. + +One day, they are playing in their tent. They hear their mom call them. "Lily, Ben, come down for lunch!" Mom says. Lily and Ben want to eat. They are hungry. They unzip the bed and get out of the tent. + +They run to the door. They see the stair. The stair is long and steep. Lily is careful. She holds the rail and goes down slowly. Ben is fast. He jumps and skips and hops. He does not hold the rail. + +"Ben, be careful!" Lily says. "The stair is not safe. You can fall and hurt yourself." + +"I'm fine, Lily," Ben says. "I'm not scared. I'm brave. Watch me!" + +Ben jumps from the last stair. He lands on the floor. He smiles. He thinks he is cool. But he does not see the rug. The rug is slippery. Ben slips and falls. He bumps his head. He cries. + +Mom hears Ben cry. She runs to him. She picks him up and hugs him. She checks his head. He has a small bump. He is not bleeding. He is fine. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Mom asks. + +"I'm okay, Mom," Ben says. "But it hurts." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Mom says. "You should be more careful on the stair. It's not a game. You could have hurt yourself badly." + +"I know, Mom," Ben says. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again." + +Mom kisses Ben's head. She takes him and Lily to the kitchen. She gives them lunch. They eat and drink. They feel better. They say thank you to Mom. They love Mom. Mom loves them. +Lily and Sam like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide. They see a big yellow wheel. It has seats and goes round and round. Lily and Sam want to try it. + +They wait for their turn. They sit on a seat. They buckle up.
