They liked to run, swing and slide. They saw a big cart near the trees. It was red and had four wheels. It looked old and mysterious. + +"Let's go see the cart!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be dirty or broken," Lily said. + +They ran to the cart and looked inside. They saw many things. They saw books, toys, clothes and a hat. They also saw a shiny box with a lock. + +"Wow, look at all these things! Who do they belong to?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone left them here. Can we open the box?" Lily asked. + +They tried to open the box, but it was too hard. They needed a key. They looked around, but they could not find a key. + +"Maybe the key is in the hat," Tom said. + +He picked up the hat and put it on his head. It was too big for him. He looked funny. Lily laughed. + +"Tom, you look like a clown!" she said. + +Tom laughed too. He felt something in the hat. He pulled it out. It was a key! + +"Look, Lily, I found the key!" he said. + +He gave the key to Lily. She put it in the lock and turned it. The box opened. They discovered what was inside. It was a surprise. It was a cake! + +"Wow, a cake! It looks yummy!" Tom said. + +"Maybe it's for someone's birthday. Maybe it's for us!" Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged. They decided to share the cake with their friends. They were happy. They liked to discover new things. They liked the mysterious cart. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a belt in their dad's closet. It is black and shiny and has a big buckle. + +"Look, Mia, a belt!" Tom says. "Let's play with it!" + +"Okay, Tom, but we have to share," Mia says. "It is fair to share." + +They take the belt to their room and put it on the floor. They take turns to buckle and unbuckle it. They pretend it is a snake or a rope or a necklace. They have fun with the belt. + +Then, Tom has an idea. He picks up the belt and says, "Mia, let's weigh the belt. I want to know how heavy it is." + +"How do we weigh it, Tom?" Mia asks. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He sees their toy scale on the shelf. It has two pans and a pointer. He says, "We can use the scale. We put the belt on one pan and some toys on the other pan. Then we see which pan goes down. The heavier one goes down." + +Mia nods. She likes the idea. She helps Tom to put the belt on one pan and some blocks on the other pan. They watch the pointer. The pan with the belt goes down a little bit. + +"The belt is heavier than the blocks," Tom says. + +"Let's try something else," Mia says. She takes the blocks off the pan and puts some books on it. They watch the pointer again. The pan with the books goes down a lot. + +"The books are heavier than the belt," Mia says. + +They try more things. They weigh the belt with a teddy bear, a ball, a car, and a doll. They learn which things are heavier and which things are lighter than the belt. They have fun weighing the belt. + +They are happy. They share the belt and the scale. They are fair to each other. They are good twins. +Lily was a little bee who liked to fly and play with her friends. One day, she saw a big flower with many colors and a sweet smell. She flew closer to get some nectar, but she did not see the spider hiding in the petals. + +The spider jumped out and tried to catch Lily in his web. Lily was scared and tried to fly away, but the web was sticky and strong. She was trapped and could not move. + +"Help! Help!" she buzzed, hoping someone would hear her. + +Ben was another bee who was flying nearby. He heard Lily's cry and looked for her. He saw her in the web and the spider getting closer. He was brave and flew fast to help her. + +He stung the spider on his leg and made him let go of the web. He grabbed Lily and pulled her out of the web. They flew away together, leaving the spider angry and hurt. + +"Thank you, Ben!" Lily said. "You saved me from the spider. You are a good friend." + +Ben smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. I am glad you are safe. But we should be careful next time. Not all flowers are nice. Some have spiders or thorns or bugs." + +Lily nodded and said, "You are right, Ben. I was silly and did not look well. I am sorry I got into trouble." + +Ben hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. The important thing is to learn from them and be more careful. Come on, let's go back to the hive and tell our friends what happened." + +They flew back to the hive, holding each other's wings. They blinked their eyes and saw their friends waiting for them. They told them their story and their friends were happy they were safe. They all shared some honey and played together until it was time to sleep. +Lila was a clever girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a big bear that she called Guard. Guard was soft and brown and had a red scarf around his neck. Lila always took Guard with her when she went to bed or to the park. + +One day, Lila and her mom went to the store to buy some milk and bread. Lila brought Guard with her and held him tight. She saw many things in the store that she liked, but she did not want them. She only wanted Guard. + +But when they got to the checkout, Lila saw a boy who had a toy car. The car was shiny and blue and made a loud noise. Lila liked the car and wanted it. She let go of Guard and reached for the car. + +"Hey, that's mine!" the boy said. He pulled the car away from Lila and glared at her. + +Lila felt sad and angry. She wanted the car, but the boy would not give it to her. She looked around and saw that Guard was gone. Someone had taken him when she was not looking. + +Lila started to cry. She had lost her favorite toy. She did not care about the car anymore. She only wanted Guard. + +"Mommy, mommy, where is Guard?" she sobbed. "I want Guard, I want Guard!" + +Her mom hugged her and tried to calm her down. She looked for Guard, but she could not find him. She asked the store people, but they did not know. She was worried and sorry. + +"Maybe someone found him and will bring him back," she said. "Or maybe we can buy you another bear." + +But Lila shook her head. She did not want another bear. She only wanted Guard. He was her best friend. He was clever and brave and loved her. + +She hoped that he was safe and happy. She hoped that he would come back to her. She missed him very much. +Lily and Ben were enthusiastic to go to the zoo. They wanted to see the crocodile. They asked their mom to take them there. + +Mom said yes and they got in the car. They drove for a long time and then they arrived at the zoo. They saw many animals, like monkeys, lions, and giraffes. But they were most excited to see the crocodile. + +They followed the signs to the crocodile pond. They saw a big green crocodile lying on a rock. It looked very still and sleepy. Lily and Ben wanted to see it move and open its mouth. + +"Hello, crocodile!" Lily shouted. "Can you show us your teeth?" + +The crocodile did not answer. It did not move at all. + +"Maybe it is tired," Ben said. "Let's seat on this bench and wait for it to wake up." + +They seat on the bench and watched the crocodile. They hoped it would do something soon. They did not know that the crocodile was not real. It was a statue. +Anna liked to play with water. She had a spray bottle that she filled with water and colored with blue paint. She liked to spray the water on the plants, the walls, and sometimes on her cat. Her cat did not like it and ran away. + +One day, Anna saw a woman walking on the street. The woman was fit and wore a red dress and a big hat. Anna thought the woman looked pretty and wanted to show her the spray bottle. She ran to the woman and said, "Hello, look at my spray bottle! It is blue and wet!" + +The woman smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. Your spray bottle is very nice. Can I see it?" She reached out her hand to take the spray bottle from Anna. + +But Anna did not want to give it to her. She said, "No, it is mine! You cannot have it!" She sprayed the water on the woman's face and dress. The water was blue and stained the woman's clothes. + +The woman was shocked and angry. She said, "Hey, what are you doing? You ruined my dress and hat! That is very rude and naughty! Go away!" She wiped her face and tried to clean her clothes. + +Anna was scared and sorry. She did not mean to make the woman mad. She said, "I am sorry, I just wanted to play. Please do not be mad at me." She ran back to her house and hid behind the door. + +She learned that she should not spray water on people without asking. She decided to only spray water on the plants and the walls and sometimes on her cat. Her cat still did not like it and ran away. +Sara and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a huge slide. Sara wanted to go on it, but Ben was scared. + +"Please, Ben, come with me. It will be fun!" Sara said. + +"I don't know, Sara. It looks too high. What if we fall?" Ben said. + +Sara made a promise to Ben. "We will not fall. I will hold your hand. And if you go with me, I will give you my candy. Do you want my candy?" + +Ben liked candy. He nodded his head. "Okay, Sara. I will go with you. But you have to keep your promise." + +Sara and Ben climbed the stairs to the top of the slide. Sara held Ben's hand. She smiled at him. "Ready, Ben? Here we go!" + +They slid down the slide. It was fast and bumpy. Sara laughed. She liked the slide. But Ben did not. He screamed. He was afraid. He wanted to stop. + +When they reached the bottom, Ben let go of Sara's hand. He ran to his mom. He cried. He did not want to play with Sara anymore. + +Sara felt bad. She regretted making Ben go on the slide. She did not mean to scare him. She wanted to make him happy. She followed Ben to his mom. She said sorry to Ben. + +"Ben, I'm sorry. I broke my promise. I did not give you my candy. Here, take it. And please, don't be mad at me. I still want to be your friend." + +Ben looked at Sara. He saw her candy. He saw her sad face. He felt sorry too. He took the candy. He gave Sara a hug. + +"It's okay, Sara. I'm sorry too. I was too scared. But you are still my friend. Thank you for the candy." + +Sara and Ben smiled. They were friends again. They decided to play on the swings instead. They had fun. They did not regret the swings. +Lily loved her scarf. It was red and blue and yellow and green. It was long and soft and warm. She wore it every day, even when it was not cold. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide. She wanted to go on it. She ran to the slide and climbed up the steps. She was ready to slide down. + +But then she saw a boy at the bottom of the slide. He was looking at her scarf. He said, "Hey, that's a nice scarf. Can I have it?" + +Lily was surprised. She did not know the boy. She did not want to give him her scarf. She said, "No, this is my scarf. I love it. You can't have it." + +The boy was angry. He said, "But I want it. It's so impressive. It has so many colors. Give it to me or I will pull it." + +Lily was scared. She did not want the boy to pull her scarf. She did not want to lose it. She said, "No, please don't. Go away. Leave me alone." + +The boy did not listen. He reached up and grabbed her scarf. He tried to pull it off her neck. Lily screamed. She held on to her scarf. She did not let go. + +Then she heard her mom and dad. They came running to the slide. They saw the boy and Lily. They said, "Stop it. What are you doing? Let go of her scarf. That's not nice." + +The boy let go of the scarf. He looked scared. He said, "Sorry. I just liked it. I didn't mean to hurt her." + +Lily's mom and dad hugged her. They said, "Are you okay, Lily? Did he hurt you? We're sorry. He should not have done that." + +Lily said, "I'm okay. He didn't hurt me. But he scared me. He wanted my scarf. But it's mine. I love it." + +Lily's mom and dad said, "We know, Lily. We love you. And we love your scarf. It's very impressive. You made it yourself, remember? You're very clever and creative." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you too. And I love my scarf. Can we go on the slide now?" + +Lily's mom and dad said, "Of course, Lily. Let's go on the slide. And then we can have some ice cream. How does that sound?" + +Lily said, "That sounds great. Let's go." She wrapped her scarf around her neck. She slid down the slide. She laughed. She was happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend that they were superheroes and villains. Lily was the good superhero and Ben was the bad villain. They made noises and jumped around. + +Ben saw his mom's coffee on the table. He had an idea. He said to Lily, "I have a secret weapon. It can make you shrink. Then I will win." He grabbed the coffee and ran towards Lily. + +Lily was scared. She did not want to shrink. She said, "No, Ben, don't do that. That is mom's coffee. It is hot and bitter. It is not for us. It is not a weapon. It is a drink." + +But Ben did not listen. He threw the coffee at Lily. But he missed. The coffee spilled on the floor and on the couch. It made a big mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the coffee and the toys and the children. She was angry. She said, "What are you doing? Why did you take my coffee? Why did you make this mess? You are not superheroes and villains. You are normal children. And normal children do not play with coffee. They play with toys. And they clean up after themselves." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were just playing. We did not mean to make you mad. We will clean up the mess. We will not play with coffee again." + +Mom sighed. She said, "Thank you. I love you. But please be careful. Coffee is not for children. It can hurt you. And it can stain the couch. And it can make you stay awake. And it can not make you shrink. Only magic can do that. And magic is not real. It is only in stories." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We love you too. Can we still play with our toys?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. But only with your toys. And only in a nice way. And only until bedtime." + +Lily and Ben hugged mom. They said, "Okay, mom. We will do that." + +They went back to their toys. They played with them in a nice way. They did not pretend to be superheroes and villains. They pretended to be friends. And they did not use coffee. They used water. And they did not spill it. They drank it. And they did not shrink. They grew. And they were happy. +Tim and Jen are twins. They live on a farm with Mom and Dad. They like to play with the animals, but sometimes they get bored. + +One day, they see a new animal in the barn. It is a goat. The goat has horns, a beard, and a long tail. Tim and Jen want to pet the goat, but the goat does not like them. The goat runs away and makes a loud noise. + +"Come back, goat!" Tim says. "We want to be your friends!" + +But the goat does not listen. The goat jumps over the fence and runs to the field. Tim and Jen follow the goat. They think the goat is fun. + +The goat sees a big tree. The tree has apples on it. The goat likes apples. The goat starts to eat the apples. Tim and Jen want to eat apples too. They try to reach the apples, but they are too high. + +"Can you share, goat?" Jen asks. "We are hungry too!" + +But the goat does not share. The goat eats all the apples. Tim and Jen are sad. They think the goat is mean. + +The goat sees a pond. The pond has ducks on it. The goat likes ducks. The goat starts to chase the ducks. Tim and Jen want to play with the ducks too. They run to the pond, but they are too slow. + +"Can you stop, goat?" Tim says. "We want to play too!" + +But the goat does not stop. The goat scares all the ducks away. Tim and Jen are mad. They think the goat is rude. + +The goat sees a hill. The hill has flowers on it. The goat likes flowers. The goat starts to climb the hill. Tim and Jen want to climb the hill too. They follow the goat, but they are too tired. + +"Can you wait, goat?" Jen says. "We want to see the flowers too!" + +But the goat does not wait. The goat reaches the top of the hill. The goat sees a big rainbow. The goat likes rainbows. The goat starts to smile. + +Tim and Jen reach the top of the hill. They see the goat smiling. They see the rainbow too. They think the rainbow is pretty. + +"Can you look, goat?" Tim says. "We want to show you something too!" + +The goat looks at Tim and Jen. Tim and Jen hug the goat.

The goat thinks Tim and Jen are nice. + +The goat starts to like Tim and Jen. Tim and Jen start to like the goat. They think the goat is not boring. They think the goat is fun. They play with the goat on the hill. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide. Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben. It is fun. You can do it," Anna says. + +"I don't know, Anna. It is high. I might fall," Ben says. + +Anna holds Ben's hand. She helps him climb the steps. They reach the top of the slide. Anna smiles. + +"Ready, Ben? One, two, three, go!" Anna says. + +They slide down together. They go fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh. They land on the soft grass. They are happy. + +"Wow, that was original! I liked it. Did you like it, Ben?" Anna says. + +"Yes, I liked it. It was not so scary. It was fun. Thank you, Anna," Ben says. + +They hug. They clap. They are proud. They are safe. They are friends. +Lily wanted to go to the park with her mom and dad. She liked to play on the swings and slide and see the ducks. But mom and dad said they had a meeting today. A meeting was when they talked to other people about work. Lily did not like meetings. They were boring and long. + +"Can I go to the park with grandma?" Lily asked. Grandma lived next door and she was very nice. She always had cookies and stories for Lily. + +"Sorry, sweetie, grandma has a meeting too," mom said. "She is a teacher and she has to talk to other teachers about school." + +Lily felt sad. She did not want to stay home alone. She wanted to have fun. + +"Can I go to the park with you?" she asked again. "Maybe your meeting will be at the park. Maybe you can talk and play at the same time." + +Mom and dad smiled. They saw that Lily was unhappy. They loved Lily very much and they wanted her to be happy. + +"Okay, Lily, we will permit you to go to the park with us," dad said. "But you have to be quiet and good during the meeting. You can play with your toys or read a book, but you cannot interrupt or run around." + +Lily nodded. She was happy. She did not mind being quiet and good. She was glad she could go to the park with her mom and dad. + +They packed some snacks and water and toys and books and went to the park. The meeting was under a big tree. There were other people there with laptops and papers. Lily sat on a blanket and played with her dolls. She looked at the sky and the flowers and the birds. She thought the park was lovely. + +After the meeting was over, mom and dad thanked the other people and said goodbye. Then they took Lily to the swings and slide and ducks. They pushed her and caught her and fed her and hugged her. They had a lot of fun. + +Lily was happy. She liked the park and she liked her mom and dad. She was glad they permitted her to go with them. She thought they were lovely too. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sign. It said: "Celebrate the new path. Come and join the fun." + +"What is a path?" Anna asked. + +"A path is a way to walk. It is smooth and flat. Like this." Ben said. He pointed to the new path. It was gray and shiny. + +"Wow, it looks nice. Can we walk on it?" Anna said. + +"Yes, let's go. Maybe we can find some games or treats." Ben said. + +They ran to the new path. They saw many people. They saw balloons and flags. They saw a clown and a band. They heard music and laughter. + +"Look, Anna, this is a celebration. Everyone is happy and having fun." Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben, this is a celebration. I like it. Let's join them." Anna said. + +They walked on the new path. They waved to the people. They smiled and clapped. They tried to follow the music. + +But Anna was clumsy. She tripped on a stone. She fell on the path. She scraped her knee. She cried. + +"Ouch, ouch, ouch. It hurts. It hurts." Anna said. + +Ben saw Anna. He ran to her. He helped her up. He hugged her. + +"Don't cry, Anna. It's okay. It's just a little scratch. I have a band-aid. Here, let me put it on your knee." Ben said. + +He took out a band-aid from his pocket. He stuck it on Anna's knee. He kissed it. + +"There, there. All better. Does it still hurt?" Ben said. + +Anna looked at her knee. She saw the band-aid. It had a star on it. She smiled. + +"No, it doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I like the star. It is pretty." Anna said. + +"You're welcome, Anna. You are a good friend too. I'm glad you like the star. It is for you. Come on, let's go back to the celebration. Maybe we can find some ice cream." Ben said. + +They held hands. They walked on the new path. They forgot about the stone. They enjoyed the celebration. They were happy. +Sara was very happy. Today was her birthday and she was going to have a party. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She helped Mommy blow up balloons and hang them on the wall. She smiled at the cake with four candles on it. + +Soon, her friends came to the party. They played games, sang songs and ate cake. Sara got many nice gifts. She hugged her friends and said thank you. She was having so much fun. + +But then, she saw something on the shelf. It was a big teddy bear. It was brown and soft and had a red bow. Sara wanted to hug it. She climbed on a chair and reached for the teddy bear. But the chair was wobbly and Sara lost her balance. She fell down and bumped her head. + +"Ow!" Sara cried. She felt a big bump on her head. It hurt a lot. She started to cry louder. + +Mommy heard Sara and ran to her. She picked her up and hugged her. She checked her head and said, "Don't worry, Sara. It's just a little bump. You'll be fine." + +She kissed Sara's head and gave her a band-aid. She also gave her the teddy bear. Sara stopped crying and smiled. She hugged the teddy bear and said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you." + +Mommy smiled and said, "I love you too, Sara. Happy birthday, my sweet girl." + +Sara felt better. She went back to the party and played with her friends. She had a wonderful birthday. She was very happy. +Ben and Lily like to play with tools. They have a big box of tools that their dad gave them. They have hammers, saws, pliers, and screws. They pretend to fix things around the house. + +One day, they find a broken chair in the garage. They want to fix it. They look for the right tools. Ben picks up a hammer and a screw. He tries to hammer the screw into the chair. But it does not work. The screw is too small for the hole. + +"Ben, you need to match the screw and the hole," Lily says. "Look, this screw is bigger. It will fit better." + +She gives Ben the bigger screw. He tries again. This time, the screw goes into the hole. He is happy. + +"Good job, Ben! You matched the screw and the hole!" Lily says. "Now we need to do the other legs." + +They work together to fix the chair. They match the screws and the holes. They hammer and saw and plier. They are not lazy. They are busy and smart. + +When they are done, they show their dad the fixed chair. He is proud of them. + +"Wow, you fixed the chair! You used the tools very well. You matched the screws and the holes. You are not lazy. You are hard-working and clever," he says. He hugs them and gives them a treat. + +Ben and Lily are happy. They like to play with tools. They like to fix things. They like to match. +Lily was a flexible girl. She could bend and twist her body in many ways. She liked to take dance classes and learn new moves. She had a lot of fun with her friends at the dance studio. + +One day, Lily's mom told her they had to move to a new city. Lily was sad and scared. She did not want to leave her home and her friends. She did not want to go to a new dance studio. She asked her mom, "Why do we have to move?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "We have to move because of my work. I know it is hard, but we will find a new home and new friends. You can still dance and be flexible. You have a lot of life in you, and you can adapt to new things. Moving is a big change, but it can also be an adventure." + +Lily thought about what her mom said. She still felt sad, but she also felt curious. She wondered what the new city would be like. She wondered if she would meet other flexible dancers. She wondered what new moves she could learn. She decided to be brave and try to enjoy the adventure. She said to her mom, "Okay, I will go with you. But can we take my dance shoes and my favorite dress?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course we can. And we can also take your dance teacher's phone number, so you can keep in touch with her and your friends. And maybe we can visit them someday. Are you ready to go?" + +Lily nodded and took her mom's hand. She felt a little nervous, but also a little excited. She hoped the new city would have a lot of life and flexibility, just like her. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toy ship in the bath. They pretend the ship is sailing on a big sea with many fish and sharks. They make noises like "splash" and "woosh" and "roar". + +"Look, Sara, I see a big shark!" Ben says, pointing to a rubber toy. "It wants to eat our ship!" + +"No, Ben, it is a nice shark. It only wants to taste our ship, not eat it," Sara says. She picks up the shark and makes it nibble on the ship's mast. "See? It likes our ship. It is its friend." + +Ben is not sure. He thinks the shark looks hungry and mean. He grabs the ship and pulls it away from the shark. "No, Sara, it is a bad shark. It will break our ship. We have to run away!" + +Sara and Ben start to move the ship fast across the water, dodging the shark and other toys. They have fun making the ship go up and down and left and right. They laugh and giggle. + +But then, they hear a loud knock on the door. It is their mom. She says, "Time to get out, kids. The water is getting cold and the soap is making a lot of bubbles. You have to dry off and get ready for bed." + +Sara and Ben sigh. They love playing with their ship, but they also love their mom. They say, "Okay, mom. We are coming." + +They lift the ship out of the water and put it on the edge of the bath. They see that the ship is wet and sticky. The shark has left some marks on the mast. The soap has made a thick white coat on the ship. + +"Look, Ben, our ship is dirty. We have to clean it," Sara says. + +"Okay, Sara. We can clean it tomorrow. But now, we have to say good night to our ship and our shark," Ben says. + +They kiss the ship and the shark and say, "Good night, ship. Good night, shark. Thank you for playing with us. We will see you again soon." + +They wrap themselves in big towels and follow their mom to their bedroom. They are happy and tired. They dream of sailing on a big sea with many fish and sharks. +Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make creative things with the blocks, like houses, cars, animals, and towers. + +One day, they decide to have a contest. Who can make the tallest tower with the blocks? They each pick a spot on the floor and start to build. They stack the blocks carefully, one on top of another. They try to balance the shapes and colors. + +Lily's tower is very high. She uses red, blue, and yellow blocks. She puts a star on top. She is proud of her tower. She looks at Ben's tower. It is also very high. He uses green, orange, and purple blocks. He puts a circle on top. He is proud of his tower too. + +They both stand up and measure their towers with their hands. They are the same height! They look at each other and smile. They say, "Wow, we are both good at building towers!" + +They decide to join their towers and make one big tower. They move their blocks closer and connect them. They add more shapes and colors. They make the tower taller and wider. They are happy and have fun. They are creative friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Lily had a big mug that she filled with water and some salt. She said it was soup. Ben had a spoon that he used to poke the soup and taste it. + +"Yuck!" he said. "This soup is not good. It is too salty and wet." + +Lily was sad. She wanted Ben to like her soup. She looked around and saw a jar of honey on the shelf. She had an idea. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. She opened it and poured some honey into the mug. + +"Try it now," she said to Ben. "It is brilliant soup. It is sweet and sticky." + +Ben took another spoonful of the soup. He made a funny face. He did not like the soup at all. It was too sweet and sticky. He spat it out on the floor. + +"Yuck!" he said again. "This soup is worse. It is too honey and wet." + +Lily was angry. She did not like Ben's rude words. She grabbed the mug and threw it at him. The mug hit Ben on the head and broke into pieces. Water and honey splashed everywhere. + +"Ow!" Ben cried. "That hurt. You are mean." + +Lily and Ben started to cry. They were both hurt and messy. They heard their mom coming. They knew they were in trouble. They wished they had played nicely. +One day, a boy and a girl went to the park with their mom. They wanted to play on the swings and the slide. But the sun was very hot and bright. It made them feel hot and thirsty. + +"Mom, can we have some water?" the boy asked. + +"Sure, honey. Here you go," mom said and gave them each a bottle of water. "But don't stay in the sun too long. It can be dangerous for your skin. You can get burned or sick." + +The boy and the girl drank some water and thanked mom. Then they ran to the swings and the slide. They had fun swinging and sliding. But they did not listen to mom. They stayed in the sun too long. + +After a while, they started to feel dizzy and tired. Their skin turned red and sore. They felt bad. + +"Mom, we don't feel good," the girl said. + +"Oh, no. You gained too much sun. You have a sunburn. Come here, let me put some cream on you," mom said and took them to a shady spot. She put some cream on their skin and gave them more water. "Next time, you have to be careful. The sun can be your friend, but it can also be your enemy. You have to wear a hat and sunscreen and drink lots of water. And you have to take breaks in the shade. OK?" + +The boy and the girl nodded. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to mom and hugged her. They felt better. They still liked the sun, but they knew how to be safe. +Tim liked to help his mom in the garden. He liked to dig and water and watch the plants grow. But he did not like to eat the vegetables that came from the garden. He thought they were yucky and bitter and made his face funny. + +One day, his mom gave him a plate of vegetables for lunch. She said they were good for him and he had to eat them all. Tim did not want to eat them. He looked at the plate and saw carrots and peas and beans and corn. He had an idea. He took his fork and spread the vegetables all over the table. He thought he was very clever. + +But his mom saw what he did and was not happy. She said, "Tim, what are you doing? You are making a big mess. You have to eat your vegetables, not spread them. They are not toys, they are food. How would you feel if you were a vegetable and nobody wanted to eat you? You would feel very lonely and sad." + +Tim thought about what his mom said. He looked at the vegetables on the table. He imagined they had eyes and mouths and feelings. He felt sorry for them. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, vegetables. I did not mean to make you lonely and sad. I will try to eat you and be your friend." + +He picked up a carrot and took a bite. It was not so bad. He picked up a pea and took a bite. It was not so bad either. He picked up a bean and a corn and took bites. They were not so bad too. He smiled and said, "Mom, you were right. The vegetables are good for me. And they are not yucky and bitter and make my face funny. They are yummy and sweet and make me happy." + +His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "I'm proud of you, Tim. You are a good boy. And you are a good friend to the vegetables. They are happy too." +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a toy car and Lily had a toy doll. They were having fun, but they also wanted to try each other's toys. + +"Can I play with your car, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"OK, but be careful. It has sharp edges and it can hurt you," Tom said. + +"Can I play with your doll, Tom?" Tom asked. + +"OK, but be gentle. She has soft hair and a pretty dress," Lily said. + +They switched their toys and started to play. Tom liked the doll's hair and dress, but he also wanted to see how she worked. He found a switch on her back and turned it on. The doll started to talk and sing. + +"Wow, she can talk and sing!" Tom said. + +Lily liked the car's wheels and colors, but she also wanted to see how it moved. She found a switch on the bottom and turned it on. The car started to zoom and beep. + +"Wow, it can zoom and beep!" Lily said. + +They were both happy with their new toys, but they also missed their own toys. They looked at each other and smiled. + +"Can we switch back, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"Can we switch back, Tom?" Lily asked. + +They nodded and switched their toys again. They hugged each other and said thank you. + +"You are a kind friend, Tom," Lily said. + +"You are a kind friend, Lily," Tom said. + +They continued to play with their own toys, but they also shared them sometimes. They had a lot of fun and learned something new. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big pile of laundry on a bench. It was clean and smelled good. Lily and Sam wanted to make a fort with the laundry. + +They took some shirts, pants and towels and put them on the ground. They made a wall and a roof. They crawled inside and pretended they were in a castle. They had fun. + +But then a lady came. She was upset. She said, "Hey, what are you doing with my laundry? That's not yours. That's mine. You made a mess. Give it back to me." + +Lily and Sam were scared. They said, "Sorry, lady. We didn't know. We just wanted to play. Please don't be mad." + +The lady was still upset. She said, "You should not touch other people's things. That's not nice. That's rude. You should say sorry and help me fold my laundry." + +Lily and Sam felt bad. They said, "Sorry, lady. We will help you. We will be nice." + +They helped the lady fold her laundry. They put it back on the bench. The lady said, "Thank you. Next time, ask before you play with something. And don't make a mess." + +Lily and Sam said, "Okay. We will. Thank you, lady. Bye." + +They went back to the park. They played with their own toys. They learned a lesson. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the yard. One day, they found a big pile of old magazines under a tree. They wanted to look at the pictures and words, but the magazines were wet and dirty. + +"Yuck, these magazines are rot," Tim said, dropping one on the ground. + +"No, they are not rot, they are fun," Kim said, picking up another one. "Look, this one has a dog and a cat." + +Tim did not care about the dog and the cat. He wanted to find something else to play with. He saw a ball on the other side of the yard and ran to get it. + +"Hey, wait for me," Kim said, following him. "Don't be rude." + +But Tim did not wait for Kim. He kicked the ball hard and it flew over the fence. He heard a loud bark and a growl. + +"Uh-oh, I think the ball went to the mean dog's yard," Tim said, scared. + +Kim caught up with him and looked over the fence. She saw a big, black dog with sharp teeth and angry eyes. The dog had the ball in his mouth and was tearing it apart. + +"Bad dog, give us back our ball," Kim shouted, mad. + +The dog barked louder and snapped at them. Tim and Kim ran away from the fence, crying. + +They wished they had stayed with the rot magazines. They were not fun, but they were not mean. +Lila liked to play with her purple ball. She could bounce it, roll it, and throw it in the air. She liked to play with her ball in the park, where there were many trees and flowers and birds. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. They brought a picnic basket with sandwiches and juice and cookies. Lila was happy. She ate her sandwich and drank her juice. Then she asked her mom, "Can I play with my ball?" + +"Sure, honey," her mom said. "But stay close to us and don't go too far." + +"OK, mom," Lila said. She took her ball and ran to the grass. She bounced it, rolled it, and threw it in the air. She had fun. + +But then, she saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry and had a long tail. The dog saw Lila's ball and ran towards it. He caught it in his mouth and ran away. + +"Hey, that's my ball!" Lila shouted. She ran after the dog. She wanted her ball back. + +But the dog was faster than Lila. He ran to the other side of the park, where there was a fence and a gate. He went through the gate and disappeared. + +Lila was sad. She lost her ball. She cried. + +Her mom and dad heard her cry. They ran to her and hugged her. + +"What's wrong, honey?" her mom asked. + +"A dog took my ball," Lila said. "He went through the gate and I can't find him." + +"Oh, I'm sorry, honey," her dad said. "That's not nice of the dog. Maybe he will return your ball later." + +"Do you think so?" Lila asked. + +"Maybe," her dad said. "But don't worry. We have another ball at home. And we have cookies for dessert. Do you want to go home and have dinner?" + +Lila nodded. She was still sad, but she liked cookies. She hoped the dog would return her ball. She liked her purple ball. She held her mom's hand and her dad's hand and they walked home. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and kick the ball. They laugh and have fun. + +But then they see a big dog. The dog is fat and brown. He has a long tail and sharp teeth. He runs to the ball and takes it in his mouth. He growls and shakes the ball. + +"Hey, that is our ball!" Tom says. "Give it back, dog!" + +But the dog does not listen. He runs away with the ball. Tom and Lily are sad. They need their ball. They cannot play without it. + +They see a man. The man is the dog's owner. He has a leash and a hat. He calls the dog. + +"Rex, come here! Drop the ball, Rex!" + +The dog hears the man. He drops the ball and runs to the man. The man picks up the ball and gives it to Tom and Lily. + +"I'm sorry, kids. Rex likes to play with balls. He did not mean to take yours. Here you go." + +Tom and Lily are happy. They thank the man and the dog. They take their ball and their kite. They go back to the park. They play and have fun. They are friends. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play on the beach. They made sand castles and dug holes and looked for shells. One day, they saw a big starfish on the sand. It was red and shiny and had five arms. + +"Wow, look at that!" Anna said. "Can we take it home?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, we can't. It is alive. It needs water to breathe. We have to put it back in the sea." + +"But how?" Anna asked. "The water is far away. The tide is low." + +Ben thought for a moment. He was very clever. He had an idea. He ran to their bucket and filled it with water. Then he came back and gently picked up the starfish. He put it in the bucket and carried it to the edge of the water. + +"Here you go, little starfish," he said. "You can swim and be happy again." + +He lay the bucket down and tipped it over. The starfish slid out and into the sea. It waved its arms as if to say thank you. Anna and Ben smiled and waved back. + +They felt good. They had helped a friend. They went back to their sand castles and played until the tide came in. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their wagon. They put toys and books and snacks in their wagon and pull it around the yard. They pretend they are going on a big adventure. + +One day, they see a huge dog in the fence next door. The dog is brown and furry and has a long tail. The dog barks at them and wags his tail. Tim and Sam are not scared. They think the dog is friendly. + +"Hello, dog!" Tim says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog nods and jumps over the fence. He runs to the wagon and sniffs it. He sees the snacks and licks his lips. He eats the snacks very fast. He eats the cookies and the crackers and the cheese. He even eats the napkins. + +"Hey, dog!" Sam says. "Those are our snacks! You can't eat them all!" + +The dog looks at Sam and tilts his head. He whines and wags his tail. He wants more snacks. + +"Sorry, dog," Tim says. "We have no more snacks. You ate them all. You are a very hungry dog." + +The dog nods and licks his face. He is a very happy dog. He likes Tim and Sam. He wants to be their friend. + +Tim and Sam laugh and pet the dog. They decide to share their toys and books with him. They play with the dog and the wagon for a long time. They have a lot of fun. They make a new friend. +Sara and Tom like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many green leaves. They want to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Look, Tom, there is a branch we can reach. Let's jump and grab it!" Sara says. + +"OK, Sara, I will jump first. You follow me." Tom says. + +Tom jumps and catches the branch. He pulls himself up and sits on it. He smiles and waves at Sara. + +"Come on, Sara, it is fun up here. You can see the clear blue sky and the birds." Tom says. + +Sara jumps and tries to catch the branch. But she is too short and misses it. She falls on the grass and cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow, that hurts. I can't jump as high as you, Tom. Help me, please." Sara says. + +Tom sees Sara crying and feels sorry. He slides down the branch and runs to her. He hugs her and says sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Sara, I didn't mean to make you sad. Are you OK? Do you have a boo-boo?" Tom says. + +Sara stops crying and shows Tom her knee. It has a small scratch and some dirt. + +"It's OK, Tom, I'm not very hurt. Just a little scratch. Can you help me clean it?" Sara says. + +Tom nods and takes a tissue from his pocket. He gently wipes Sara's knee and kisses it. + +"There, all better. You are very brave, Sara. Do you want to try again?" Tom says. + +Sara smiles and nods. She holds Tom's hand and they walk back to the tree. + +"Maybe we can find a lower branch. Or we can use a stool. Or we can ask a grown-up to help us. We can do it together, Tom." Sara says. + +Tom agrees and they look for a way to climb the tree. They are happy and forget their pain. They love to play in the park. They love to jump. They love the tree. They love the clear sky. They love each other. +One day, a cop was driving his car on the road. He saw a big red light. He knew he had to stop. But a bad man did not stop. He drove very fast and hit the cop's car. The cop was angry and sad. His car was broken. + +The bad man got out of his car and ran away. He did not say sorry. He did not care. He was very rude. The cop got out of his car too. He had a useful thing in his hand. It was a radio. He talked to his friends on the radio. He said, "Help me catch the bad man. He hit my car and ran away. He is very bad." + +His friends heard him on the radio. They said, "We are coming. Don't worry. We will help you." They drove their cars very fast. They looked for the bad man. They found him in a park. He was hiding behind a tree. He thought he was safe. But he was not. + +The cop and his friends got out of their cars. They ran to the tree. They said, "Stop! You are under arrest. You did a bad thing. You hit the cop's car and ran away. You disturbed the peace. You have to come with us." + +The bad man was scared. He said, "No, no, no. Please don't take me. I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Please let me go." But the cop and his friends did not listen. They took the bad man to their car. They put him in the back. They drove him to the jail. They said, "You have to stay here. You have to learn your lesson. You have to be good." + +The cop was happy. He said, "Thank you, friends. You are very useful. You helped me catch the bad man. You are very good." His friends said, "You're welcome, cop. You are very brave. You did your job. You are very good too." They smiled and hugged. They were happy. They were friends. +Lily and Ben were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big cardboard box for a ship, a stick for a sword and a scarf for a flag. They pretended to sail on the sea and look for treasure. + +"Look, Ben, I see an island!" Lily said, pointing to a distant hill. "Maybe there is gold and jewels there!" + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said, grabbing his sword. "But be careful, there might be other pirates or monsters!" + +They jumped out of the box and ran towards the hill. They climbed over rocks and bushes, pretending they were waves and sharks. They reached the top and looked around. + +"Wow, Lily, look at that!" Ben said, admiring a shiny metal hook that was hanging from a tree. "It must be a pirate's hook! Maybe he lost it in a fight!" + +"Can I touch it, Ben?" Lily asked, curious. + +"Sure, Lily, but be gentle. It might be sharp or rusty." Ben said, lifting Lily up so she could reach the hook. + +Lily touched the hook with her finger. It felt cold and smooth. She liked how it sparkled in the sun. + +"Can we take it, Ben?" Lily asked, excited. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it belongs to someone." Ben said, unsure. + +"Please, Ben, please! It can be our treasure! We can share it!" Lily said, pleading. + +"Okay, Lily, okay. But we have to be quick. Maybe the pirate will come back soon." Ben said, agreeing. + +He pulled the hook from the tree and put it in his pocket. Then he took Lily's hand and they ran back to their ship. + +They were happy and proud of their treasure. They decided to hide it in their box and only show it to their friends. They admired their hook and imagined they were real pirates. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Anna found a big worm and showed it to Ben. Ben said, "Ew, that is a silly worm. It is too long and wiggly." + +Anna said, "No, it is not silly. It is a nice worm. It helps the plants grow. Let's put it in the pot with the prunes." + +Ben said, "Okay, but what are prunes? They look like old grapes." + +Anna said, "They are not old grapes. They are dried plums. Mommy said they are good for you. They make you poop." + +Ben said, "Oh, I see. Do you like prunes?" + +Anna said, "Yes, I do. They are sweet and chewy. Do you want to try one?" + +Ben said, "Sure, why not. Maybe they will make me poop too." + +They took a prune each and bit into it. They made a face and spit it out. + +Anna said, "Yuck, this prune is bad. It is sour and hard." + +Ben said, "Me too. This prune is worse than the worm. Let's throw it away." + +They threw the prunes in the trash and ran to the hose. They washed their mouths and drank some water. + +Anna said, "Let's not eat prunes again. They are not good for you. They make you sick." + +Ben said, "Yes, let's not. They are not sweet and chewy. They are sour and hard." + +They agreed to never eat prunes again and went back to playing in the dirt. They forgot about the worm and the pot. They had fun until Mommy called them for lunch. +Lila and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lila had a doll with a velvet dress and Tom had a car with a horn. They liked to make noises and pretend they were going on adventures. + +"Beep beep! I'm going to the park!" Tom said, pushing his car on the floor. + +"I'm going to the castle!" Lila said, holding her doll in her arms. + +They played happily until they saw a big book on the shelf. It had a shiny cover and many pictures inside. They wanted to look at it, but it was too high for them to reach. + +"Let's get a chair and climb on it," Tom said, having an idea. + +"OK," Lila agreed, following him. + +They dragged a chair from the kitchen and put it under the shelf. Tom climbed on it first and reached for the book. He pulled it hard, but it was heavy and he lost his balance. He fell off the chair and the book fell on his head. + +"Ow!" Tom cried, rubbing his head. + +"Are you OK?" Lila asked, worried. + +Tom nodded, but he was still in pain. He looked at the book and saw that it had a big word on the cover: "Dinosaurs". He liked dinosaurs, they were big and scary and interesting. + +"Look, Lila, it's a book about dinosaurs!" he said, forgetting his hurt. + +"Wow, let me see!" Lila said, excited. + +They opened the book and saw many pictures of different dinosaurs. They had long necks, sharp teeth, spiky tails and colorful feathers. They learned their names and their sounds. + +"Roar! This is a T-rex, he is the king of the dinosaurs!" Tom said, pointing at a picture. + +"Squeak! This is a stegosaurus, he has plates on his back!" Lila said, pointing at another picture. + +They had fun looking at the book and making noises. They did not notice that their mom came into the room and saw them. + +"Hello, my little explorers, what are you doing?" she asked, smiling. + +"We are looking at a book about dinosaurs, mom, they are amazing!" Tom said, showing her the book. + +"They are indeed, but you know you should not climb on the chair and strike the book, you could get hurt," she said, gently. + +"I'm sorry, mom, I just wanted to see the book," Tom said, feeling sorry. + +"It's OK, I'm glad you are OK, and I'm happy you are curious and interested in learning new things. But next time, please ask me for help, OK?" she said, hugging him. + +"OK, mom, thank you," Tom said, hugging her back. + +"And you, Lila, do you like the book too?" she asked, turning to Lila. + +"Yes, mom, I love the book, and I love my doll too, she has a velvet dress, it's so soft!" Lila said, holding her doll. + +"That's nice, my dear, velvet is a beautiful fabric. Why don't you show me your doll and tell me her name?" she said, taking Lila's hand. + +"Her name is Daisy, and she is my best friend," Lila said, smiling. + +They walked to the couch and sat down. They talked about the book, the doll, the car and their games. They had a cozy and happy time together. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys and a shovel. They liked to dig holes and bury their toys. Then they would pretend to be pirates and look for treasure. + +"Look, I buried my teddy bear!" Tom said. He showed Lily a big hole with some dirt on top. "Can you find him?" + +Lily nodded. She took the shovel and started to dig. She liked to play with Tom. He was her best friend. They always had fun together. + +But then they heard a loud voice. It was Mom. She was angry. She saw the mess they made in the garden. She did not like it. + +"Tom! Lily! What are you doing?" Mom shouted. "You are ruining the flowers and the grass! Stop digging and come here right now!" + +Tom and Lily dropped the shovel. They felt scared. They did not want to make Mom angry. They ran to her and said sorry. + +"Mom, we were just playing," Tom said. "We were burying our toys and looking for treasure." + +Mom sighed. She looked at their dirty clothes and faces. She loved them, but she was not happy. + +"Playing is good, but you have to be careful," Mom said. "You can't bury your toys in the garden. They will get lost or broken. And you can't dig up the flowers and the grass. They are living things. They need water and sun, not dirt and holes. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They felt sorry. They did not know they were hurting the flowers and the grass. They liked the flowers and the grass. They were pretty and soft. + +"Mom, we are sorry," Lily said. "We did not mean to hurt the flowers and the grass. We will not bury our toys in the garden anymore. We will play with them in the sandbox or on the mat. Is that okay?" + +Mom smiled. She hugged them and kissed them. She was not angry anymore. She was glad they learned their lesson. + +"That's okay, my loves," Mom said. "I forgive you. But you have to clean up the mess you made. And you have to be quiet. Your baby brother is sleeping. He needs his nap. Can you do that?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said yes. They wanted to be good. They wanted to make Mom happy. They took their toys and the shovel and went to the sandbox. They played quietly and nicely. They did not bury their toys. They did not dig holes. They did not make noise. They were good children. Mom was proud of them. +Tom and Mia are playing hide and seek in the park. Tom is the seeker and Mia is the hider. Mia runs to a big tree and hides behind it. She thinks Tom will not find her there. + +Tom counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looks around the park and tries to find Mia. He sees a swing, a slide, a bench, and a flower. But he does not see Mia. + +He walks to the big tree and thinks, "Maybe Mia is hiding here." He peeks behind the tree and sees Mia. He says, "I found you, Mia! You are not a good hider!" + +Mia says, "No, you are not a good seeker! You did not see me until you peeked!" + +Tom says, "Yes, I did! I saw your hair and your shoe. You are not a clever hider!" + +Mia says, "Yes, I am! You are not a clever seeker!" + +They start to argue and make a lot of noise. They do not see a police car coming to the park. The police car stops near the tree and a police man gets out. He says, "What is going on here? Why are you making so much noise?" + +Tom and Mia stop arguing and look at the police man. They feel scared and say, "We are sorry, sir. We are just playing hide and seek." + +The police man says, "Hide and seek is a fun game, but you have to be quiet and respectful. You do not want to disturb other people in the park. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Mia nod and say, "Yes, sir. We understand." + +The police man says, "Good. Now, why don't you play somewhere else and let the tree have some peace?" + +Tom and Mia say, "Okay, sir. Thank you, sir." + +They run to another part of the park and play hide and seek again. They try to be quiet and clever. They do not peek or argue. They have fun and do not bother the tree or the police. +Lily was very sad. She had a terrible pain in her tummy. She cried and cried. Mommy and Daddy were worried. They said they had to take her to the hospital. + +Lily did not like the hospital. It was big and noisy and scary. She saw people with white clothes and masks. She saw machines that beeped and flashed. She saw beds with wheels and tubes. She did not want to go there. + +Mommy and Daddy held her hand and tried to make her feel better. They said the hospital was a good place. They said the people there would help her. They said they would stay with her all the time. + +They walked to a room with a door. A lady with a white coat and a stethoscope came out. She smiled and said hello. She said her name was Dr. Lee. She said she was going to check Lily's tummy. + +Lily was scared. She clung to Mommy and Daddy. She said, "No, no, no! I don't want to go!" + +Dr. Lee was gentle and kind. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. I won't hurt you. I just want to see what's wrong with your tummy. It will be quick and easy. Do you want to see my stethoscope? It can hear your heart and your tummy. Do you want to try it?" + +Lily was curious. She nodded. Dr. Lee put the stethoscope on Lily's chest and let her listen. Lily heard her heart go thump-thump-thump. She giggled. Dr. Lee moved the stethoscope to Lily's tummy and let her listen. Lily heard her tummy go gurgle-gurgle-gurgle. She laughed. + +Dr. Lee said, "See? It's not so bad. Your tummy is talking to me. It's telling me what it needs. It needs some medicine and some rest. Then it will feel better. Can you be brave and let me give you some medicine?" + +Lily looked at Mommy and Daddy. They smiled and nodded. They said, "You can do it, Lily. We're proud of you. We love you." + +Lily took a deep breath. She said, "OK. I'll try." + +Dr. Lee gave Lily a small cup of medicine. It tasted sweet. Lily drank it. Dr. Lee said, "Good girl! You did it! Now you can go to a bed and rest. I'll come back later and see how you're doing. OK?" + +Lily said, "OK. Thank you, Dr. Lee." + +Mommy and Daddy hugged Lily and kissed her. They said, "You're very brave, Lily. We're very happy. You'll be fine soon." + +Lily smiled. She felt a little better. She said, "I love you, Mommy and Daddy." + +They walked to a bed and tucked her in. They said, "We love you, too, Lily." +Tom is a musician. He likes to play the guitar and sing songs. He has a big show today. He wants to wear his best clothes. He puts on a blue shirt, a red tie, and a black hat. He looks in the mirror and smiles. + +He goes to the park where the show is. He sees many people waiting to hear him. He feels glad and excited. He walks to the stage and picks up his guitar. He says hello to the people. + +"Hello, everyone! I am Tom, and I am a musician. I am happy to be here with you. Are you ready to hear some music?" he asks. + +The people clap and cheer. They say yes, they are ready. Tom starts to play his guitar and sing. He sings about the sun, the moon, the stars, and the animals. He sings about love, joy, and peace. He sings with his heart and his voice. + +The people listen and enjoy. They sing along and dance. They feel glad and happy too. They like Tom and his music. They thank him and give him flowers. + +Tom feels proud and grateful. He thanks the people and says goodbye. He puts down his guitar and takes off his hat. He wears a big smile on his face. He had a wonderful show. He loves being a musician. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and cars. But one day, they have a fight. Tom wants to use the red blocks. Jen wants to use the red blocks too. They both pull and tug and yell. + +"Give me the red blocks!" Tom says. + +"No, they are mine!" Jen says. + +They are so angry that they knock down their towers and houses and cars. The blocks fly everywhere. They make a big mess. They are not friends anymore. + +Mom comes and sees the mess. She is not happy. She asks Tom and Jen what happened. They both point at each other and say, "He did it!" "She did it!" + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "You both did it. You both made a mess. You both need to say sorry. And you both need to clean up." + +Tom and Jen look at the floor. They feel guilty. They know they were wrong. They don't like to fight. They miss their friend. + +They look at each other. They say, "Sorry." They hug. They are friends again. + +They start to pick up the blocks. They decide to share the red blocks. They decide to build something together. They unite their blocks. They make a big rocket. They put a star on the top. They are happy. They smile. They say, "Ready, set, go!" They pretend to fly to the moon. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures and read books. They also liked to look at the moon at night. The moon was big and bright and made them happy. + +One night, Lily had an idea. She said to Sam, "Do you want to marry me?" Sam was surprised. He did not know what marry meant. He asked Lily, "What is marry?" + +Lily said, "Marry is when you love someone very much and you want to be with them always. You give them a ring and say nice words and then you are married. My mommy and daddy are married." + +Sam thought about it. He loved Lily very much and he wanted to be with her always. He said, "Okay, I want to marry you. But how do we do it?" + +Lily said, "We need a ring and a moon. The ring is a sign of love and the moon is a witness. Come on, let's go find a ring and a moon." + +They ran to the playground and looked for a ring. They found a shiny bottle cap and decided it was a good ring. They put it on Lily's finger and smiled. Then they looked for a moon. They saw a big round lamp on a pole and decided it was a good moon. They stood under the lamp and held hands. + +Lily said, "Sam, I love you. You are my best friend and my husband. Will you be with me always?" + +Sam said, "Lily, I love you. You are my best friend and my wife. I will be with you always." + +They kissed and hugged. They were very happy. They did not know that marry was a big word and a big thing. They only knew that they loved each other and the moon. +Sam and Mia are best friends. They like to play hide and seek in the park. One day, they find a big tree with a hole in it. Sam says, "Let's hide in the hole. No one will find us there." Mia agrees and they crawl into the hole. + +Inside the hole, they see a lot of shiny things. There are coins, rings, necklaces, and bracelets. Sam and Mia are very happy. They think they found a treasure. They start to pick up the shiny things and put them in their pockets. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud roar. They look up and see a big dragon. The dragon is angry. It says, "Who are you? What are you doing in my hole? This is my treasure. Give it back or I will eat you!" + +Sam and Mia are very scared. They drop the shiny things and run out of the hole. They run to the other side of the park, where their parents are waiting for them. They tell their parents what happened. Their parents hug them and say, "We are glad you are safe. You should not go into strange holes. You never know what you might find." + +Sam and Mia nod. They learned their lesson. They decide to play a different game. They still think the dragon was great, but they do not want to see it again. They hope it will not come out of the hole and disappear. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They gather sticks and leaves and make a big pile. They pretend it is a house. + +"Let's go inside our house," Lily says. "It is cozy and warm." + +"OK," Tom says. "But we have to be careful. There are bugs and spiders under the pile. They might bite us." + +Lily and Tom crawl under the pile. They make a small space for themselves. They laugh and talk. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is a dog. It is big and black. It sees the pile and runs towards it. It barks and jumps on it. + +Lily and Tom are scared. The pile shakes and falls apart. They see the dog's teeth and eyes. + +"Help!" Lily screams. "Go away, dog!" + +Tom holds Lily's hand. He is brave. He says, "Don't worry, Lily. I am here. I am dependable. I will protect you." + +The dog hears Tom's voice. It stops barking. It tilts its head. It sniffs the air. It smells something. + +It is not the pile. It is not Lily and Tom. It is a bone. It is under a tree. It is juicy and tasty. + +The dog forgets about the pile. It runs to the tree. It grabs the bone. It wags its tail. It is happy. + +Lily and Tom see the dog leave. They are relieved. They crawl out of the pile. They hug each other. + +"That was close," Lily says. "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are a good friend, too," Tom says. + +They smile and hold hands. They walk to the swings. They play some more. They are safe and happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play on the farm. The farmer is nice. He lets them see the animals and the plants. + +One day, the farmer has a problem. His tractor is broken. He cannot plow the field. He is sad. + +Lily and Ben want to help. They have an idea. They go to the barn and find some tools. They take the tools to the tractor. They try to fix it. + +The farmer sees them. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are very useful. You are good helpers." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They clap their hands. They say, "You are welcome, farmer. We like to help. We like the farm." + +The farmer hugs them. He says, "You are my friends. Come, let me show you something. I have a surprise for you." + +He takes them to the field. He shows them a big pile of hay. He says, "This is for you. You can play here. You can make a fort or a nest or a slide. Have fun!" + +Lily and Ben are excited. They thank the farmer again. They run to the hay. They play and laugh. They have a great time. The farmer watches them. He is happy too. +Anna liked chocolate very much. She wanted to eat chocolate every day. But her mom said no. She said chocolate was not good for Anna's teeth and tummy. She said Anna had to eat other things too, like fruits and vegetables and bread. + +One day, Anna saw a big box of chocolate on the table. It was a gift from her aunt. Anna's eyes became big and bright. She ran to the box and tried to open it. But it was too hard. She needed help. + +She looked for her mom, but she was not in the kitchen. She looked for her dad, but he was not in the living room. She looked for her brother, but he was not in his bedroom. He was in the garden, playing with his ball. + +Anna went to the garden and called her brother. "Tom, Tom, can you help me?" she said. + +Tom looked at her and saw the box in her hands. He knew what it was. He liked chocolate too. But he was lazy. He did not want to stop playing. He said, "No, Anna, I am busy. Go away." + +Anna felt sad and angry. She said, "Please, Tom, please. I need your help. I want to eat chocolate. It is a gift. Please, Tom, please." + +Tom did not listen. He kicked his ball and turned away. He said, "No, Anna, no. I don't care. You are annoying. Go away." + +Anna did not go away. She had an idea. She put the box on the ground and said, "OK, Tom, OK. I will go away. But I will leave the box here. Maybe someone else will find it and eat all the chocolate. Maybe a bird or a cat or a dog. Then there will be no chocolate for you or me." + +Tom heard what Anna said. He stopped playing. He looked at the box. He looked at Anna. He did not want to lose the chocolate. He said, "Wait, Anna, wait. Don't go. Maybe I can help you. Maybe we can share the chocolate. Please, Anna, please." + +Anna smiled. She knew her plan worked. She said, "OK, Tom, OK. You can help me. You can open the box. And we can share the chocolate. But you have to be nice. And you have to say sorry." + +Tom nodded. He said, "OK, Anna, OK. I am sorry. I was mean. I will be nice. Let's open the box. And let's eat some chocolate. But not too much. Mom will be mad." + +Anna and Tom hugged. They went to the table and opened the box. They saw many pieces of chocolate. They picked one each and ate it. It was yummy. They said, "Thank you, aunt. Thank you, chocolate. Thank you, Anna. Thank you, Tom." + +They were happy. They were not lazy. They were not annoying. They were brother and sister. And they loved chocolate. And they loved each other. The end. +One day, a thief came to the farm. He saw the big red barn and wanted to take some things. He was not a normal thief. He did not like money or jewels. He liked animals. + +He went inside the barn and saw many animals. He saw cows and pigs and chickens and horses. He wanted to keep them all. He put them in a big truck and drove away. + +But the farmer saw him. He was very angry. He got in his car and followed the thief. He honked his horn and shouted. + +"Stop! Stop! You are a bad thief! Give me back my animals!" + +The thief did not stop. He drove faster and faster. He did not see the police car behind him. The police car had a loud siren and a bright light. The police car caught up with the thief and blocked his way. + +The police officer got out of the car and pointed at the thief. + +"You are under arrest! You cannot keep these animals! They belong to the farmer!" + +The thief was scared. He got out of the truck and said sorry. + +"Sorry, sorry, I am a bad thief. I just like animals. Please don't take me to jail." + +The farmer came and looked at the thief. He felt sorry for him too. He said to the police officer. + +"Maybe he can work on my farm. He can help me take care of the animals. He can learn to be a good person." + +The police officer nodded. He said to the thief. + +"OK, you can work on the farm. But you have to promise to never steal again. And you have to listen to the farmer. Do you understand?" + +The thief nodded. He said to the farmer. + +"Thank you, thank you. I will work hard. I will be a good person. And I will love the animals." + +The farmer smiled. He said to the thief. + +"OK, come with me. I will show you the barn. And you can meet the animals. They are very nice. But you cannot keep them. They are my friends." + +The thief smiled too. He followed the farmer to the barn. He was happy. He had a new job, a new friend, and many animals to love. He was not a normal thief anymore. He was a normal person. +Mia and Leo like to pretend they are doctors. They have a big box with toys and tools. They take turns to be the doctor and the patient. Mia puts on a white coat and a stethoscope. Leo lies down on the sofa and says he has a sore throat. + +Mia listens to Leo's heart and says, "Hmm, your heart is very noisy. You need some lotion to make it quiet." She takes a bottle of lotion from the box and squeezes some on Leo's chest. Leo giggles and says, "That tickles!" + +Mia rubs the lotion on Leo's chest and says, "There, now your heart is calm and happy. Do you feel better?" Leo nods and says, "Yes, thank you, doctor. You are very good." + +Mia smiles and says, "You're welcome, patient. Now it's your turn to be the doctor and I'll be the patient." They switch roles and play again. They have a lot of fun pretending they are doctors. They don't hear their mom calling them for lunch. +Lila and Ben liked to play near the creek. The creek had water and rocks and fish. Sometimes they saw frogs and birds too. They had fun throwing stones and making splashes. + +One day, Lila slipped on a wet rock and fell. She hurt her knee and it bled. She cried and Ben ran to help her. He tore a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around her knee. He said, "Don't cry, Lila. It will heal soon. I will take care of you." + +They walked back to their house. Their mom saw them and asked what happened. Ben told her about the creek and the fall. Mom hugged them and said, "You are brave, Ben. You are a good brother. Lila, let me see your knee. I will clean it and put a band-aid on it. It will heal faster." + +Mom took them inside and did what she said. She gave them cookies and milk and read them a story. Lila and Ben felt better and smiled. They thanked mom and said they loved her. Mom said, "I love you too, my sweeties. Now, rest and be careful next time you play near the creek. The creek is not empty. It has many things that can hurt you." +Tom and Lily went to the lake with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the water and splash each other. Tom was brave and swam far from the shore. Lily was fearful and stayed close to mom. + +"Come on, Lily, don't be scared!" Tom shouted. "The water is fun and warm!" + +Lily shook her head. She saw big fish and plants under the water. She thought they might bite her or pull her down. She held mom's hand tight. + +Tom swam back to them. He wanted to show Lily how to splash. He lifted his arm and hit the water hard. A big wave came and hit Lily on the shoulder. She screamed and cried. + +"Tom, that was not nice!" mom said. "You made Lily wet and scared!" + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to play with you." + +Lily sniffed and wiped her eyes. She looked at Tom. He looked sorry and sad. She felt sorry and sad too. + +"It's okay, Tom," Lily said. "I know you didn't mean it. Maybe we can play together later. But not splash." + +Tom smiled and hugged Lily. "Okay, Lily. I love you, sister." + +"I love you, brother," Lily said. + +Mom and dad smiled and hugged them too. They were happy to see them make up. They decided to have a picnic on the shore and enjoy the sunny day. +Tim and Mia like to play pirate. They have a big box that they pretend is a ship. They put on hats and scarves and say "Arrr!" They look for treasure and fight with swords made of sticks. + +One day, they find a map in the box. It has a big X on it. "Look, Mia, a treasure map!" Tim says. "Let's follow it and find the gold!" + +They take the map and walk around the yard. They see a tree, a rock, a flower, and a bird. They follow the map and look for the X. They have fun and laugh. + +But soon, they become sleepy. They have walked a lot and it is hot. They yawn and rub their eyes. "Tim, I'm tired. Can we go back to the ship?" Mia says. + +"Okay, Mia. Let's go back and rest. Maybe we can find the treasure later." Tim says. They hold hands and walk back to the box. They climb inside and lie down. They close their eyes and dream of being pirates. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys. Lily has a doll and Ben has a robot. Lily likes to dress up her doll with different clothes. Ben likes to make his robot do funny noises and moves. + +But one day, Lily's doll has a problem. One of her buttons falls off her dress. Lily is sad. She does not know how to sew the button back. She asks Ben for help. + +"Ben, can you help me? My doll needs her button. She looks sad without it." + +Ben looks at Lily's doll. He sees the button on the floor. He picks it up and looks at the dress. He does not know how to sew either. But he has an idea. + +"Maybe we can use some tape. Tape can stick things together. Let's try it." + +Ben and Lily find some tape in the drawer. Ben cuts a small piece and puts it on the button. Then he sticks the button on the dress. It looks a bit funny, but it works. + +"Look, Lily, your doll has her button again. She looks happy now." + +Lily smiles and hugs her doll. She also hugs Ben. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very helpful. You are a good friend." + +Ben smiles too. He is glad he could help Lily. He likes to play with her. + +They go back to playing with their toys. Lily's doll and Ben's robot are friends too. They have fun together. +Lily was a girl who liked pink. She had a pink dress, a pink hat, a pink bike and a pink doll. She was very happy with her pink things. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. There, she saw a boy who had a blue ball. He was playing with it by himself. Lily wanted to play with him, but she did not have a ball. + +She thought for a moment. Then, she had an idea. She took her pink doll and walked to the boy. She smiled and said, "Hi, I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?" + +The boy looked at her and said, "Hi, I am Sam. What do you have there?" + +Lily showed him her pink doll and said, "This is my doll. Her name is Rose. She is very pretty and soft. Do you want to hold her?" + +Sam looked at the pink doll and said, "No, thank you. I do not like dolls. I like balls. This is my ball. His name is Blue. He is very round and bouncy. Do you want to throw him?" + +Lily looked at the blue ball and said, "Yes, please. I like balls. They are fun. Can we share?" + +Sam nodded and said, "Yes, we can share. You can throw my ball and I can hold your doll. Then, we can switch. How about that?" + +Lily agreed and said, "That sounds good. Let's be friends." + +They smiled and offered each other their toys. Then, they started to play together. They had a lot of fun. They learned that they could like different things and still be friends. They also learned that sharing was nice. Lily and Sam were happy. +Tom and Jen are playing in the mud. They make mud pies and mud castles. They are very happy and dirty. + +Mom sees them and says, "Time to wash, Tom and Jen. You are too dirty to go inside the house. Come to the hose and wash your hands and feet." + +Tom and Jen run to the hose. They see a red knob on the hose. They wonder what it does. Tom turns the red knob. Water comes out of the hose. It is very cold and strong. It splashes Tom and Jen and Mom. + +"Ah, cold, cold!" Tom and Jen scream. They laugh and jump. They like the water. + +"Stop, stop!" Mom says. "You are making me wet too. Turn off the red knob, Tom. Let's wash with soap and a towel. Then we can go inside and have a snack." + +Tom turns off the red knob. Mom gives them soap and a towel. They wash their hands and feet. They dry them with the towel. They are clean and happy. + +They hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. Can we have some cookies and milk?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can. You are good kids. But next time, don't play with the red knob. It is for watering the plants, not for spraying people." + +Tom and Jen nod and say, "OK, Mom. We are sorry. We won't do it again." + +They go inside the house. They have some cookies and milk. They are full and sleepy. They take a nap on the couch. They dream of mud and water and the red knob. +Sara and Ben love to visit their elderly grandma, who lives in a big house with a garden. Grandma has a vehicle that she calls a car, and she sometimes takes them for a ride around the town. Sara and Ben like to sit in the back seat and look out the window. + +One day, Grandma said she had to go to the store to buy some food. She asked Sara and Ben if they wanted to come with her, or remain in the house and play with their toys. Sara and Ben both wanted to go with Grandma, so they put on their coats and shoes and followed her to the car. + +Grandma started the car and drove out of the driveway. She turned on the radio and sang along to a song. Sara and Ben giggled and clapped their hands. They enjoyed the music and the sights. + +But then, something bad happened. Another vehicle, a big truck, came out of nowhere and hit Grandma's car. There was a loud noise and a lot of smoke. Grandma's car stopped and the radio went silent. Sara and Ben felt scared and hurt. They cried and called for Grandma. + +Grandma was also scared and hurt, but she tried to be brave. She looked at Sara and Ben and said, "Don't worry, my darlings. I'm here with you. We're going to be okay. Help is coming soon. Just remain calm and stay in the car. I love you very much." She held their hands and kissed their heads. She prayed for them and for herself. She hoped they would be okay. +Sara and Tom are playing with their dolls. Sara has a big doll with a pink dress and long hair. Tom has a small doll with a blue shirt and no hair. Tom likes Sara's doll and wants to play with it. + +"Can I have your doll?" Tom asks Sara. + +"No, this is my doll. You have your own doll," Sara says. + +"But your doll is nicer. My doll is empty. It has no hair and no skin," Tom says. + +"That's not true. Your doll has skin. It is just brown. And you can make hair for your doll. Look, I have some yarn," Sara says. + +She shows Tom a ball of yellow yarn. She cuts a piece and ties it to the doll's head. Now the doll has hair. + +"Wow, thank you, Sara. My doll looks better now," Tom says. + +"You're welcome, Tom. Now we can play together. But don't take my doll, okay?" Sara says. + +"Okay, I won't take your doll. I like my doll now. We can be friends," Tom says. + +They hug and play with their dolls happily. +Sara was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a delicate face. Sara always brought Lily with her when she went to the park, to the store, or to visit her grandma. + +One day, Sara woke up and felt sick. Her stomach hurt and she felt hot. She did not want to eat or play. She only wanted to hug Lily and lie in bed. Her mom came to check on her and said, "Sara, you have a fever. You need to rest and drink some water. I will bring you some soup later." + +Sara nodded and cuddled with Lily. She whispered, "Lily, I don't feel good. Do you feel good?" Lily did not answer, but Sara pretended she said, "I feel good, Sara. I am here with you. You will feel better soon." + +Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are my best friend. I love you." She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. She hoped her stomach would stop hurting and her fever would go away. + +After a while, her mom came back with a bowl of soup. She said, "Sara, I brought you some soup. It will help you feel better. Can you try to eat some?" Sara opened her eyes and saw the soup. It smelled good and looked warm. She said, "Yes, mom. I will try to eat some. Can Lily have some too?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily can have some too. But only a little bit. She has a delicate stomach, remember?" She gave Sara a spoon and a napkin. She said, "Here you go. Eat slowly and carefully. I will be right back." + +Sara took the spoon and dipped it in the soup. She blew on it and tasted it. It was yummy and soothing. She said, "Mmm, this is good, mom. Thank you." She gave Lily a tiny bit of soup and said, "Here, Lily. This is for you. It will make you happy." Lily did not say anything, but Sara pretended she said, "Thank you, Sara. This is delicious. You are very kind." + +Sara and Lily ate the soup together. Sara felt a little better. Her stomach hurt less and she felt less hot. She said, "Mom, I think the soup is working. I feel a little better." Her mom came back and said, "That's great, Sara. I'm glad you feel a little better. You are a brave girl. And Lily is a good friend. You should rest some more and drink some more water. Maybe tomorrow you can play with your dolls again." + +Sara nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will rest some more and drink some more water. Maybe tomorrow I can play with my dolls again. And maybe I can go to the park, or to the store, or to visit grandma. And I will always bring Lily with me. She is my favorite doll. And my best friend." + +Her mom kissed her forehead and said, "I love you, Sara. And I love Lily too. You are my favorite girl. And my best friend." She tucked her in and said, "Good night, Sara. Good night, Lily. Sleep well and dream sweetly." + +Sara and Lily said, "Good night, mom. We love you too. Sleep well and dream sweetly." They hugged each other and closed their eyes. They felt happy and safe. They fell asleep and dreamed of playing with their dolls. +Lily liked to sing. She sang all the time. She sang in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang loud and high and low. She sang to her toys, to her mom, and to her dad. She sang happy songs and sad songs and funny songs. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, do you want to go to the opera with me? The opera is a place where people sing very well. They sing stories with music and costumes and lights. It is very beautiful and fun." + +Lily said, "Yes, mom, I want to go to the opera. I want to see the people sing. I want to learn how to sing better. I want to improve my singing." + +So Lily and her mom went to the opera. They saw a big building with many seats and a big stage. They saw bright lights and colorful curtains and shiny props. They heard a band play and people clap. They heard people sing in different languages and tones and emotions. Lily was amazed and happy. She listened and watched and learned. + +When they came back home, Lily said, "Mom, I loved the opera. It was so pretty and fun. The people sang so well. I want to sing like them. Can you help me improve my singing?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. I'm glad you enjoyed the opera. You have a beautiful voice and a big heart. You can improve your singing by practicing and learning and having fun. I will help you and support you. I love you and I love your singing." +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and sing. They saw a big jug on the table. It was blue and shiny. + +"Let's see what is in the jug," Lily said. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jug. Tom followed her. + +"Be careful, Lily," Tom said. "The jug might be heavy." + +Lily lifted the jug and looked inside. She saw water and ice. The water was cold and wet. She felt a drop on her nose. + +"Brrr, it is cold," Lily said. She wanted to drink some water. She tilted the jug and poured some water in her mouth. + +"Ah, it is good," Lily said. She smiled and poured some more water. + +But the jug was too big for Lily. She lost her balance and fell off the chair. The jug fell with her and broke on the ground. The water and ice spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no, Lily, are you okay?" Tom asked. He ran to help her. + +Lily was not hurt, but she was wet and cold. She started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I broke the jug," Lily said. "It was too big for me." + +Tom hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily, don't cry. The jug was not ours. It was for the flowers. Mommy will not be mad. She will be happy that you are not hurt." + +Lily stopped crying and said, "Thank you, Tom, you are a good brother. Can we go inside and get dry?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, let's go inside. And next time, let's stay away from the jug." +Bella was a hairy dog who loved to play with her bone. She would run, jump, and chew on it all day long. She was very happy with her bone. + +One day, a new dog came to the park. His name was Max and he was big and strong. He saw Bella's bone and wanted it for himself. He ran over to Bella and snatched the bone from her mouth. He growled and ran away with it. + +Bella was very sad and angry. She chased after Max and barked loudly. She wanted her bone back. She caught up with Max and tried to bite him. They fought over the bone and made a lot of noise. + +A man came and saw them fighting. He was Max's owner and he was not happy. He scolded Max and took the bone from him. He said, "Bad dog, Max! You can't take other dogs' bones. That's not nice. You have to share and be kind." + +He gave the bone back to Bella and said, "I'm sorry, Bella. Max was wrong to take your bone. He is still learning how to behave. Can you forgive him?" + +Bella looked at Max and saw that he was sorry too. He wagged his tail and licked her face. He said, "Woof, woof. I'm sorry, Bella. You are a good dog. Can we be friends?" + +Bella wagged her tail and licked him back. She said, "Woof, woof. I forgive you, Max. You are a good dog too. We can be friends." + +They both smiled and played with the bone together. They shared and had fun. They learned how to be nice to each other. They were happy. +Tom and Lily like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see many things in the park. They see birds and dogs and flowers. They see a big tree with many leaves. + +Tom has a toy that can record sounds. He wants to record the sounds of the park. He says to Lily, "Let's record the sounds of the park. It will be fun." + +Lily says, "OK, let's do it. What sounds do you want to record?" + +Tom says, "I want to record the sound of the wind. It makes the leaves move. Listen, can you hear it?" + +Lily says, "Yes, I can hear it. It sounds like a whisper. How do you record it?" + +Tom says, "I press this button and hold the toy near the leaves. Like this." He presses the button and holds the toy near the leaves. The toy makes a beep. + +Lily says, "Did you record it?" + +Tom says, "Yes, I did. Do you want to hear it?" + +Lily says, "Yes, please." + +Tom presses another button and the toy plays the sound of the wind and the leaves. It sounds like the park. + +Lily says, "Wow, that's amazing. You recorded the sound of the park. Can we record more sounds?" + +Tom says, "Sure, we can. Let's record the sound of the birds. They are lively and sing. Look, there is one on the branch." + +Lily says, "Yes, let's record it. Maybe it will sing for us." + +They run to the tree and try to record the sound of the bird. But the bird flies away. + +Tom says, "Oh, no. The bird flew away. We missed it." + +Lily says, "That's OK. Maybe we can find another bird. Or we can record something else. There are many sounds in the park." + +Tom says, "You're right. There are many sounds in the park. Let's record them all. It will be fun." + +They smile and hug. They continue to play and record the sounds of the park. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with trains. They have a big station with many tracks and trains. They can make the trains go fast or slow, or stop and start. + +One day, it is very cold outside. Anna and Ben cannot go to the park. They stay at home and play with the trains. But they want to play with the same train. Anna says, "This is my train. I saw it first." Ben says, "No, this is my train. I like it more." They pull the train from each other. They quarrel. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the station. She says, "Stop quarreling. You have many trains. You can share. Why don't you take turns? Anna can play with this train for five minutes, then Ben can play with it for five minutes. Then you can switch. OK?" + +Anna and Ben think. They nod. They say, "OK, Mom." They stop quarreling. They take turns. They play nicely. They have fun. Mom smiles. She says, "Good job, Anna and Ben. You are good twins." +Tom and Lily were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They saw some sheep in the field next to their house. The sheep were eating grass and making noises. + +"Look, sheep!" Lily said. "Can we go and say hello to them?" + +Tom nodded. He liked sheep. They were soft and white and funny. He and Lily ran to the fence and waved at the sheep. Some of the sheep looked at them and baaed. + +"Hello, sheep!" Tom said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +One of the sheep came closer to the fence. It had a black face and horns. It looked angry. It baaed loudly and shook its head. + +"Go away, kids!" the sheep said. "This is my field. You can't play here. You are noisy and annoying. Leave me alone!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not like the angry sheep. They ran back to their ball and picked it up. + +"Sorry, sheep!" Lily said. "We didn't mean to bother you. We just wanted to be friends." + +The angry sheep snorted and turned away. It did not want to be friends. It wanted to eat grass and be the boss of the other sheep. + +Suddenly, it started to rain. The rain was cold and wet. It made Tom and Lily shiver. They did not like the rain. They wanted to go inside and be warm and dry. + +"Let's go home, Lily!" Tom said. "The rain is not fun. Maybe we can play with the ball in the living room." + +Lily agreed. She and Tom ran to their house and opened the door. They saw their mom in the kitchen. She was making cookies. She smiled when she saw them. + +"Hi, kids!" she said. "Did you have fun outside?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They told their mom about the sheep and the rain. They said they were sorry for the angry sheep. They hoped it would be happy someday. + +Their mom hugged them and gave them cookies. She said they were very kind and brave. She said the rain would stop soon and the sun would come out. She said they could play outside again tomorrow. Maybe they would see some nice sheep then. + +Tom and Lily ate their cookies and smiled. They liked their mom. They liked their ball. They liked each other. They were happy. +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play dress up. One day, they find a big box of old clothes and hats in the attic. They try on different things and have fun. + +Sam puts on a long coat and a big hat. He finds a fake mustache in the box and sticks it on his face. He looks at himself in the mirror and laughs. He says, "I am a wise man with a mustache. I know many things." + +Tom puts on a colorful shirt and a scarf. He finds a toy guitar in the box and pretends to play it. He looks at Sam and says, "You are not a wise man. You are a silly man. You look funny with that mustache." + +Sam says, "No, I am a wise man. And I can sell you something very special. Do you want to buy it?" + +Tom says, "What is it? What can you sell me?" + +Sam says, "I can sell you a magic mustache. If you wear it, you will be very smart and strong and brave. It only costs one dollar." + +Tom says, "A magic mustache? That sounds cool. But I don't have a dollar. Can I pay you with something else?" + +Sam thinks for a moment. He sees a big cookie on the table. He says, "You can pay me with that cookie. It looks yummy." + +Tom says, "OK, deal. Here is the cookie. Give me the magic mustache." + +Sam takes the cookie and gives Tom the fake mustache. Tom sticks it on his face and smiles. He says, "Thank you, wise man. Now I have a magic mustache. I feel very smart and strong and brave." + +Sam says, "You're welcome, my friend. Enjoy your magic mustache. And I will enjoy this cookie. It is very yummy." + +They both laugh and hug. They are happy. They love to play dress up. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They saw a big pile of leaves that Dad had made with the rake. Tom wanted to jump in the leaves, but Lily was scared. + +"Come on, Lily, it's fun!" Tom said. "The leaves are soft and crunchy and colorful. Don't be scared." + +Lily shook her head. "No, Tom, I don't want to. The leaves are weird. They might have bugs or sticks or dirt in them. They might make me itch or sneeze or hurt." + +Tom sighed. He wanted to play with his sister, but he also wanted to jump in the leaves. He had an idea. He ran to the shed and got another rake. He gave it to Lily. + +"Here, Lily, you can help me. You can rake the leaves and make them even bigger and better. Then we can jump in them together. I will support you. I will hold your hand and make sure you are okay. Will you try it?" + +Lily looked at the rake and then at Tom. She saw that he was smiling and he was not scared. She wanted to make him happy and she wanted to try something new. She nodded. + +"Okay, Tom, I will try it. But you have to support me. You have to stay with me and be nice." + +Tom hugged Lily. "I will, Lily, I promise. You are my sister and I love you. Come on, let's rake the leaves and have fun!" + +They took the rakes and started to rake the leaves. They made a huge pile that was taller than them. They laughed and talked and worked together. They forgot about their fears and enjoyed the moment. Then they dropped the rakes and ran to the pile. They jumped in the leaves and rolled and tossed and giggled. They felt the leaves on their skin and in their hair and in their noses. They felt happy and free and brave. They had fun. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a jeep. It is big and red. Ben has a bike. It is small and blue. + +One day, they go to the park. They see a hill. Lily says, "Let's go up the hill with my jeep. It is fun." Ben says, "OK, but can I ride your jeep too?" Lily says, "Yes, you can. We can take turns." + +They push the jeep up the hill. It is hard. They are tired. They get to the top. They see a big house. It is white and shiny. Lily says, "Wow, look at that house. It is so big. I think the people who live there are rich." Ben says, "Yes, they are. They have a lot of things. They have a pool and a garden and a dog." + +They look at the house for a while. Then they hear a noise. It is the jeep. It is rolling down the hill. It is going fast. Lily says, "Oh no, my jeep! It is going away. We have to get it." Ben says, "Yes, we do. Come on, let's go." + +They run down the hill. They try to catch the jeep. But it is too fast. It goes past the park. It goes past the street. It goes to the river. It falls into the water. Lily and Ben stop. They are sad. Lily says, "My jeep is gone. It is in the river. I can't get it back." Ben says, "I'm sorry, Lily. It was an accident. I wish I could help you." + +They sit on the grass. They are quiet. They do not know what to do. Then they see a man. He is walking by the river. He has a rope. He sees the jeep. He says, "Hey, kids, is that your jeep?" Lily and Ben say, "Yes, it is. But it is in the river. We can't get it." The man says, "Don't worry, I can help you. I have a rope. I can pull it out." + +He throws the rope into the water. He ties it to the jeep. He pulls hard. He gets the jeep out. He gives it to Lily and Ben. He says, "Here you go, kids. Your jeep is safe. It is a nice jeep. You are lucky to have it." Lily and Ben say, "Thank you, mister. You are very kind. You helped us a lot." The man says, "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad I could help. Have fun with your jeep." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They hug the man. They hug each other. They say, "We are friends. We share our toys. We help each other." They take the jeep back to the park. They play with it. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben wanted to go to the park. They liked to play on the swings and the slide. But they needed to plan first. They had to pack a bag with snacks and water and toys. + +Lily found a big bag in her room. It was pink and had flowers on it. She put some crackers and cheese and a bottle of water in the bag. She also put her teddy bear and a ball in the bag. + +Ben found a small bag in his room. It was blue and had cars on it. He put some cookies and juice and a book in the bag. He also put his dinosaur and a puzzle in the bag. + +They met in the living room with their bags. They showed each other what they had packed. + +"Wow, you have a lot of things in your bag," Ben said to Lily. "Is your bag heavy?" + +"A little bit," Lily said. "But I like my bag. It is pretty and expensive. Mommy gave it to me for my birthday." + +"Your bag is nice," Ben said. "But I like my bag too. It is cool and fast. Daddy gave it to me for Christmas." + +They smiled at each other. They liked their bags and their things. They were ready to go to the park. They grabbed their bags and ran to the door. They called their mommy and daddy to come with them. They had a fun day at the park. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They feel happy when they run and slide and swing. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, dogs, and people. + +One day, they see something new in the park. It is a big box with a door. It has a sign that says "Exit". Lily and Ben are curious. They want to know what is inside the box. They go to the door and open it. + +Inside the box, they see a lot of lights and colors and sounds. They see stars and planets and rockets and aliens. They see a big screen that shows a movie. They hear a voice that says "Welcome to the space adventure! Enjoy the ride!" + +Lily and Ben are amazed. They feel excited and scared and curious. They want to see more. They walk inside the box and close the door behind them. + +The box starts to move and shake and make noises. Lily and Ben feel like they are flying in space. They see the movie on the screen change. They see different places and creatures and dangers. They feel happy and sad and brave and scared. + +They do not know how long they are in the box. They do not see the park or the sun or the sky. They only see the space adventure. They forget about the exit. + +Then, the box stops moving and shaking and making noises. The movie on the screen ends. The voice says "Thank you for joining the space adventure! Please exit the box and have a nice day!" + +Lily and Ben are confused. They do not want to leave the box. They want to stay in the space adventure. They feel sad and angry and bored. + +They open the door and see the park again. They see the trees and the flowers and the birds and the dogs and the people. They see the sign that says "Exit". They feel like they are back to the ordinary world. + +They look at each other and say "That was fun! Can we do it again?" +Lila and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat lunch. But Mom was busy. She had to cook a big soup for Grandma. Grandma was sick and needed warm food. + +"Mom, when is lunch ready?" Lila asked. She was impatient. She did not like to wait. + +"Soon, my dear. The soup needs to cook for a long time. It has many things in it. Carrots, potatoes, beans, and leaf. Leaf is good for Grandma. It makes her strong." Mom said. + +"Can we help you, Mom?" Tom asked. He liked to cook. He wanted to learn how to make soup. + +"Of course, you can. You can wash the leaf for me. It is in the sink. Be careful, it is wet and slippery." Mom said. + +Lila and Tom ran to the sink. They saw a big pile of green leaf. They picked up the leaf and rinsed it under the water. They had fun. They splashed each other and laughed. + +"Look, Mom, we washed the leaf!" Lila said. She held up a handful of leaf. + +"Good job, my loves. Now, you can tear the leaf into small pieces and put them in this bowl. Then, I will add them to the soup." Mom said. + +Lila and Tom tore the leaf with their hands. They made a game of it. They pretended the leaf was a dinosaur and they were the hunters. They roared and snapped. + +"Look, Mom, we tore the leaf!" Tom said. He showed Mom the bowl of leaf. + +"Excellent, my darlings. You are very helpful. The soup is almost ready. You can set the table for us. Then, we can eat lunch together." Mom said. + +Lila and Tom set the table. They put plates, spoons, cups, and napkins. They were proud of themselves. They helped Mom cook lunch. They hoped Grandma would like the soup. They hoped she would get better soon. They loved Grandma very much. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big truck with a cage on it. Inside the cage was a leopard. The leopard had yellow fur with black spots. It looked impressive and scary. + +"Mom, what is that?" Lily asked, pointing at the leopard. + +"That is a leopard, Lily. It is a kind of big cat that lives in far away places. The truck is taking it to the zoo, where it will have a safe home and people will take care of it," mom explained. + +"Can we go see the leopard at the zoo, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe another day, Ben. The zoo people need to remove the leopard from the cage and give it some time to get used to its new place. It might be scared or angry if we go too close to it now," mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood that the leopard needed some space and respect. They waved goodbye to the leopard as the truck drove away. They hoped the leopard would be happy at the zoo. They decided to play on the swings and slides instead. They had fun at the park with their mom. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it. + +"Me first!" Tom says. He climbs up the ladder and slides down. He smiles and laughs. "This is fun!" + +"Me too!" Sam says. He follows Tom and slides down. He smiles and laughs. "This is fun!" + +They slide again and again. They are happy. + +But then, they hear a loud voice. It is a man in a blue suit. He has a badge and a hat. He is a law man. + +"Stop!" the law man says. "You are breaking the law. This slide is not for kids. It is for grown-ups. You have to leave." + +Tom and Sam are scared. They do not understand. Why is the slide not for kids? Why is the law man angry? + +They look at their moms. Their moms are angry too. They go to the law man and talk to him. + +"That is a silly law," Tom's mom says. "This slide is for everyone. It is a park. Kids have the right to play." + +"That is a dull law," Sam's mom says. "This slide is not dangerous. It is fun. Kids need to have fun." + +The law man is quiet. He does not know what to say. He looks at Tom and Sam. They are still scared. He feels sorry. + +"OK," the law man says. "Maybe you are right. Maybe this law is silly and dull. Maybe I was wrong. You can play on the slide. But be careful. And be nice." + +Tom and Sam are happy. They smile and say thank you. They go back to the slide and play. They are not scared anymore. They are friends. +Tommy likes to play with his toys in his room. He has many toys, but his favorite is his lizard. His lizard is green and soft and can make noises. Tommy likes to pretend that his lizard is a dragon and can fly and breathe fire. + +One day, Tommy's mom tells him that he has to choose some toys to give away. She says that his room is too messy and he has too many toys. Tommy does not want to give away any of his toys. He loves them all. He says, "No, mom, I want to keep all my toys!" + +Mom says, "Tommy, you have to choose. You can keep some toys, but not all of them. If you don't choose, I will choose for you." She gives him a big bag and tells him to fill it with the toys he does not want. + +Tommy looks at his toys and feels sad. He does not know which ones to put in the bag. He picks up his lizard and hugs it. He says, "I want to keep you, lizard. You are my best friend." + +Mom sees Tommy and smiles. She says, "You can keep your lizard, Tommy. I know you love him very much. But you have to choose some other toys to give away. How about these cars? Or this puzzle? Or this ball?" + +Tommy thinks for a moment. He likes his cars and his puzzle and his ball, but he likes his lizard more. He says, "Okay, mom, I will give away these toys. But not my lizard. He stays with me." + +Mom nods and helps Tommy put the toys in the bag. She says, "Good job, Tommy. You made a good choice. Now your room is less messy and you have more space to play with your lizard. And you know what? The toys you give away will make other kids happy. They will have fun with them, just like you did." + +Tommy feels better. He says, "Thank you, mom. I'm sorry I was mad. I'm happy to share my toys with other kids. But I'm happier to keep my lizard. He is my dragon and I am his knight." + +Mom hugs Tommy and kisses his lizard. She says, "You are very welcome, Tommy. I'm proud of you. You are a good boy and a brave knight. And your lizard is a lucky dragon. Now, let's go and find a place to donate your toys. Maybe we can see some real lizards on the way." + +Tommy smiles and holds his lizard. He says, "Yes, mom, let's go. Maybe we can find some friends for my lizard. And maybe some fire for him to breathe." +Anna liked to build things with her blocks. She made towers and bridges and houses for her toys. She liked to pretend that she was a musician and played songs with her blocks. She tapped them and clapped them and sang along. + +One day, her brother Ben came into her room. He saw her blocks and wanted to play with them. He grabbed some of them and tried to make a car. But he did not know how to build well. His car fell apart and he got angry. He threw the blocks on the floor and made a loud noise. + +"Stop it, Ben!" Anna said. "You are ruining my music and my blocks. Go away!" + +Ben did not listen. He picked up more blocks and threw them at Anna. One of them hit her in the face and made her cry. She felt a sour taste in her mouth and a pain in her cheek. + +"Ben, you are mean!" she shouted. "You hurt me and you broke my things. I don't like you!" + +She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Mom hugged her and gave her a kiss. She looked at her cheek and said it was not bad. She gave her a glass of water and a cookie to make her feel better. + +She also talked to Ben and told him he was wrong. She said he had to say sorry to Anna and help her clean up the mess. She said he had to share the blocks and play nicely. She said he could also be a musician if he wanted, but he had to be gentle and respectful. + +Ben felt sorry for what he did. He went to Anna and said he was sorry. He helped her pick up the blocks and put them back in the box. He asked her if he could play with her and learn how to build and make music. Anna said yes, but only if he was nice and careful. They hugged and made up. They played together and had fun. They built and sang and laughed. They were happy. +Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to try new things. She liked to climb trees, ride bikes, and paint pictures. She also liked to eat different foods, like spicy noodles, sour candy, and cheese pizza. + +One day, her mom made her a tray of food for lunch. It had a sandwich, some grapes, and a cookie. Lily was happy to see the cookie, but she did not like the sandwich. It had ham and mustard, and Lily hated ham and mustard. + +She looked at the sandwich and frowned. She did not want to eat it. She pushed the tray away and said, "No, thank you, Mom. I don't like this sandwich. Can I have something else?" + +Her mom shook her head and said, "No, Lily, you have to eat what I made for you. It is good for you and it will make you strong. You can have the cookie after you finish the sandwich and the grapes." + +Lily pouted and said, "But I don't like it. It is yucky. Please, Mom, can I have cheese pizza instead?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Lily, you are an adventurous girl. You like to try new things, right? Why don't you try this sandwich? Maybe you will like it. It has bread, cheese, ham, and mustard. They are all yummy things. Just take one bite and see." + +Lily thought for a moment. She was an adventurous girl. She liked to try new things. Maybe the sandwich was not so bad. Maybe she would like it. She decided to give it a chance. She picked up the sandwich and took a small bite. + +She chewed and swallowed. She was surprised. The sandwich was not yucky. It was actually tasty. The bread was soft, the cheese was melty, the ham was salty, and the mustard was tangy. She liked it. She took another bite and smiled. + +She looked at her mom and said, "You were right, Mom. This sandwich is good. I like it. Thank you for making it for me." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm proud of you for being adventurous and trying something new. You are a good girl. Now you can have the cookie and the grapes. Enjoy your lunch." + +Lily nodded and said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." + +She ate the rest of her sandwich, the grapes, and the cookie. She was happy and full. She had learned something new. She had learned that sometimes, things that look yucky can be yummy. She had learned to be adventurous with food. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog with a man. The dog was brown and had a long tail. The man had a hat and a badge. He was a law man. + +"Hello, kids. Do you want to pet my dog?" the law man asked. He smiled and held the dog's leash. + +Lily and Ben looked at the dog. The dog looked mild. He did not bark or growl. He wagged his tail and licked his nose. + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. She liked dogs. She walked to the dog and touched his fur. The dog licked her hand. + +Ben was not sure. He was a little scared of dogs. He stayed behind Lily. He watched the dog and the law man. + +The law man saw that Ben was scared. He said, "Don't worry, Ben. My dog is very friendly. He won't hurt you. He likes kids. Do you want to give him a treat?" + +He took out a biscuit from his pocket and gave it to Ben. Ben looked at the biscuit and the dog. He wanted to be brave. He took the biscuit and held it out to the dog. + +The dog sniffed the biscuit and took it gently from Ben's hand. He crunched it and wagged his tail. He nuzzled Ben's leg. + +Ben felt the dog's nose and tongue. He smiled and petted the dog. He was not scared anymore. He liked the dog. + +"Good boy, Ben. You did well. My dog likes you. His name is Rex. What is your name?" the law man asked. + +"I'm Ben. This is Lily. We are friends. Your dog is nice. Thank you for the treat," Ben said. + +"You're welcome, Ben. And thank you for being kind to Rex. He is my partner. We work together to keep the park safe. We are law men," the law man said. + +"Wow, that's cool. You are law men. Can we be law men too?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can. You just have to follow the rules and help others. Do you know the rules of the park?" the law man asked. + +"Yes, we do. We have to share, be polite, and clean up our mess. Right, Ben?" Lily said. + +"Right, Lily. And we have to listen to our parents and the law men. Right, law man?" Ben said. + +"Right, Ben. You are very smart and good kids. You can be law men. Here, you can wear my hat and badge for a while. And you can play with Rex. He likes to fetch and roll over. Just be gentle and have fun," the law man said. + +He gave his hat and badge to Lily and Ben. They put them on and felt proud. They played with Rex and the law man. They had a lot of fun. They did not scare anyone. They were mild and nice. They were law men. +Lila and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make a city with blocks. The city has houses, cars, trees and a big tower. The city is incredible. + +One day, Lila and Sam want to play with the blocks again. But they see that the blocks are all mixed up. Someone has knocked down their city. Lila and Sam are sad and angry. + +"Who did this?" Lila asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it was Max. He is mean." Sam says. + +"Let's find him and tell him to say sorry." Lila says. + +They look for Max. They see him in the yard. He is playing with a ball. He sees Lila and Sam. He smiles. + +"Hi, Lila and Sam. Do you want to play with me?" Max asks. + +"No, we don't. You are mean. You knocked down our city. Our city was incredible. You made a mess." Lila says. + +Max looks surprised. He shakes his head. + +"No, I didn't. I didn't touch your blocks. I was playing with my ball all morning." Max says. + +"Then who did it?" Sam asks. + +They hear a noise. They turn around. They see a big dog. The dog has a block in his mouth. He is wagging his tail. He drops the block and picks another one. He likes to play with the blocks. + +They look at the dog. They look at each other. They understand. The dog knocked down their city. He didn't know it was their city. He thought it was a toy. + +They are not sad and angry anymore. They are sorry for blaming Max. They are also sorry for the dog. He didn't mean to make a mess. + +They go to the dog. They pet him. They say hello. The dog licks them. He is happy. + +They go to Max. They hug him. They say sorry. Max hugs them back. He says it's okay. + +They decide to play together. They pick up the blocks. They make a new city. The new city is incredible. The dog watches them. He doesn't touch the blocks. He is a good dog. They are all friends. They have fun. +Tom and Lily like to play golf with their dad. They have a big yard with grass and trees and a hole. Dad gives them small sticks and balls and shows them how to hit the balls into the hole. Tom and Lily try to do what dad does, but it is hard. Sometimes they miss the ball, sometimes they hit it too far, and sometimes they hit it into the trees. + +One day, Tom has an idea. He says to Lily, "Let's build a golf course in the yard. We can make more holes and put things in the way, like rocks and sticks and toys. Then it will be more fun and more hard to play golf." + +Lily thinks that is a good idea. She says, "OK, let's do it. But we have to be quiet, so dad doesn't see. He is very serious about golf and he might not like it." + +Tom and Lily start to build their golf course. They dig more holes with their hands and a shovel. They find rocks and sticks and toys and put them around the holes. They make signs with paper and crayons to show where to start and where to finish. They are very proud of their work. + +When they are done, they call dad and say, "Dad, come and see what we made. We made a golf course in the yard. Do you want to play with us?" + +Dad comes and sees their golf course. He is surprised and amused. He says, "Wow, you two are very creative. You made a golf course in the yard. That is very clever. But it looks very hard to play. Are you sure you can do it?" + +Tom and Lily say, "Yes, we can do it. We made it for us and for you. We want to have fun and learn golf. Will you play with us, please?" + +Dad smiles and says, "OK, I will play with you. But you have to teach me the rules. How do we play on your golf course?" + +Tom and Lily are very happy. They say, "We will teach you the rules. It is easy. You have to hit the ball into the hole with the stick. But you have to avoid the things in the way. And you have to count how many times you hit the ball. The one who hits the ball the least wins. Are you ready?" + +Dad says, "I am ready. Let's play golf on your golf course. But remember, it is just a game. Don't be too serious. Have fun and enjoy." + +Tom and Lily say, "OK, dad. We will have fun and enjoy. And maybe you will too." +Anna liked to sing. She sang every day. She sang in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang loud and happy. She sang to her toys, to her mom, and to her dad. + +But Anna did not like to share. She was selfish. She did not want to share her toys, her mom, or her dad. She wanted them all for herself. She did not want to play with other kids. She did not want to listen to other songs. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom. She saw a group of kids playing and singing. They sang a song she did not know. She wanted to learn it. She went to the group and asked, "What song are you singing?" + +The kids looked at her and smiled. They said, "We are singing a song about sharing. Do you want to join us?" + +Anna did not like the word sharing. She said, "No, I do not want to join you. I have my own songs. They are better than yours." + +The kids felt sad. They said, "That is not nice. Singing is more fun when you share it with others. Why are you so selfish?" + +Anna did not have an answer. She felt angry and ashamed. She ran back to her mom and cried. She did not want to sing anymore. She realized she had made a mistake. She had missed a chance to make new friends and learn new songs. She had a question in her heart. How could she be less selfish and more kind? +Sam and Lily liked to play with bubbles. They had a big bottle of bubble soap and a cap with a hole. They took turns to dip the cap in the soap and blow through the hole. They made many bubbles of different sizes and colors. They watched the bubbles fly in the air and pop. + +One day, they saw a bird in a cage. The bird looked sad and lonely. It had no friends and no space to fly. Sam and Lily felt sorry for the bird. They wanted to help it. + +"Let's release the bird," Sam said. "It will be happy and free." + +"But how?" Lily asked. "The cage is locked and we have no key." + +Sam had an idea. He took the bottle of bubble soap and the cap. He dipped the cap in the soap and blew through the hole. He made a big bubble around the cage. The bubble lifted the cage and carried it away. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "You are so thoughtful, Sam. You made a bubble key." + +The bird was surprised and scared at first. But then it saw the sky and the trees and the other birds. It felt happy and free. It thanked Sam and Lily and flew away. + +Sam and Lily smiled and waved. They were glad they helped the bird. They continued to play with bubbles and hoped the bird would find a new home. +Tim and Sam were playing in the yard. They liked to dig and build with dirt and rocks. They made a big hill and put a flag on top. They were very proud of their hill. + +But then they saw a big truck coming. It was the mail truck. It had many boxes and letters inside. The mail truck stopped near their house and the mailman got out. He had a big bag of mail for their mom and dad. + +The mailman did not see the hill. He walked over it and stepped on the flag. He destroyed the hill and the flag. Tim and Sam were very angry. They shouted at the mailman. + +"Hey, you destroyed our hill! That was our hill! Go away!" + +The mailman was surprised. He looked down and saw the dirt and the flag. He felt sorry for Tim and Sam. He said, + +"I'm sorry, boys. I did not see your hill. It was an accident. I did not mean to destroy it. Here, let me help you fix it." + +But Tim and Sam did not want his help. They did not like the mailman. They thought he was disgusting. He had dirty shoes and a dirty bag. He smelled like old cheese. They said, + +"No, you can't help us. You are disgusting. You have dirty shoes and a dirty bag. You smell like old cheese. We don't want your mail. Go away!" + +The mailman was sad. He did not understand why Tim and Sam were so mean. He said, + +"Boys, that's not nice. I'm not disgusting. I'm just doing my job. I have to deliver the mail. Your mom and dad are waiting for their mail. Don't you want to see what they got?" + +But Tim and Sam did not care. They did not want to see the mail. They only wanted their hill. They said, + +"No, we don't want to see the mail. We only want our hill. Go away!" + +The mailman shook his head. He put the mail on the porch and got back in his truck. He drove away. He hoped that Tim and Sam would be nicer next time. + +Tim and Sam watched him go. They did not feel sorry for him. They felt happy. They had their yard back. They started to rebuild their hill. They put a new flag on top. They were very proud of their hill. They did not care about the mail. They did not know that inside one of the boxes was a big surprise for them. A surprise that they would love. A surprise that would make them change their mind about the mailman. A surprise that was a new toy. A toy that could destroy anything. A toy that was a robot dinosaur. +Sam liked to help his dad repair things. He had his own tools and a magazine with pictures of cars and planes. He wanted to be a repairman when he grew up. + +One day, his dad was fixing the bike in the garage. Sam came with his magazine and his tools. He opened the magazine and showed his dad a picture of a plane. He said, "Dad, can we repair a plane?" + +His dad smiled and said, "Maybe one day, Sam. Planes are very big and complicated. They need special tools and skills. But you can learn a lot from your magazine and your tools. You are a good helper." + +Sam felt happy and proud. He said, "Thank you, dad. I like to help you. Can I help you with the bike?" + +His dad said, "Sure, Sam. You can hold this wrench for me. And you can tell me more about the plane in your magazine. What is its name? How fast can it fly? How many people can it carry?" + +Sam and his dad worked on the bike and talked about the plane. They had a lot of fun. Sam learned new words and facts. His dad enjoyed sharing his hobby and his love. They repaired the bike and their bond. +Sara loves to read books. She has many books in her room. She likes to read about animals, princesses, and cars. Sometimes she reads to her teddy bear and her doll. + +One day, Sara finds a big purse in her mom's closet. She opens the purse and sees many things inside. She sees a wallet, a phone, a lipstick, and a book. The book has a picture of a cat on the cover. Sara likes cats. She takes the book and goes to her room. + +She sits on her bed and opens the book. She tries to read the words, but they are hard. She does not know some of the words. She looks at the pictures and makes up her own story. She says, "This is a cat named Fluffy. Fluffy likes to play with yarn and mice. Fluffy has a friend, a dog named Spot. Spot likes to chase Fluffy and bark. Fluffy and Spot have fun together." + +She reads and reads until she feels dizzy. She puts the book down and rubs her eyes. She hears her mom calling her name. She gets up and runs to the door. She sees her mom holding the purse. + +"Sara, did you take my purse?" her mom asks. + +Sara nods and says, "Yes, mom. I'm sorry. I wanted to read your book. It has a cat on it." + +Her mom smiles and says, "That's okay, Sara. I'm glad you like to read. But this book is not for you. It is for grown-ups. It has big words and hard ideas. You can read your own books. They are better for you." + +Sara hugs her mom and says, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. Can you read me a story?" + +Her mom says, "Of course, Sara. Let's go to your room and pick a book. How about the one with the princess and the dragon?" + +Sara says, "Yes, mom. I love that one. Thank you, mom." + +They go to Sara's room and read the book together. Sara feels happy and not dizzy anymore. She learns new words and enjoys the story. She loves to read books. +Sam is a smart boy. He likes to do puzzles and read books. He has a big map on his wall. He can point to different places on the map and say their names. + +One day, Sam's mom says, "We are going to visit your grandma. She lives far away, in the east. Do you know where the east is, Sam?" + +Sam runs to his map and looks for the east. He sees a big blue sea and a yellow sun. He says, "The east is where the sun comes up in the morning. It is on this side of the map." + +Sam's mom smiles and says, "That's right, Sam. You are very smart. The east is where the sun rises. And your grandma lives near the sea. She has a boat and a dog. Do you want to see them?" + +Sam nods and says, "Yes, mom. I want to see grandma and her boat and her dog. Can we go now?" + +Sam's mom says, "Yes, Sam. We can go now. Get your bag and your hat. We are going to have a fun trip to the east." +Sam and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, like cars, dolls, blocks, and books. They liked to make noises and stories with their toys. But sometimes they also made a big mess. + +"Look, Lily, I can stretch this car very far!" Sam said, pulling a rubber car with his hands. "It can go zoom, zoom, zoom!" + +"Wow, Sam, that is cool!" Lily said, watching the car stretch. "Can I try?" + +"OK, but be careful. Don't break it," Sam said, giving the car to Lily. + +Lily took the car and pulled it too hard. The car snapped and flew across the room. It hit a lamp and knocked it over. The lamp broke and made a loud noise. + +"Uh-oh," Sam and Lily said together. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to the living room. They saw the broken lamp and the messy toys. They were not happy. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked, looking at Sam and Lily. + +"We were playing with the car, and it broke, and it hit the lamp, and it broke too," Sam said, pointing at the car and the lamp. + +"We are sorry, Mom and Dad," Lily said, looking down. + +Mom and Dad sighed. They were not angry, but they were worried. + +"Are you OK? Did you get hurt?" Dad asked, checking Sam and Lily. + +"No, we are OK," Sam and Lily said. + +"That's good. But you have to be more careful when you play. And you have to clean up your mess," Mom said. + +"OK, Mom and Dad. We will clean up," Sam and Lily said. + +Mom and Dad hugged them and went to call an ambulance. They needed to fix the lamp and the car. Sam and Lily started to pick up their toys. They learned their lesson. They did not want to break anything else. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they do not like to share. They want the same toy or book at the same time. + +One day, Mom made them some food. She gave them each a plate with a sandwich, some carrots, and some grapes. She said, "Eat your food, please. It is good for you." + +Ben and Lily looked at their plates. They saw that Ben had more grapes than Lily. Lily wanted more grapes, too. She said, "Ben, give me some grapes. You have too many." + +Ben did not want to give Lily any grapes. He said, "No, these are my grapes. You have enough." + +Lily got angry. She tried to grab some grapes from Ben's plate. Ben got angry, too. He pushed Lily away. They started to fight. + +Mom heard them fighting. She came to the table. She saw the plates and the grapes. She said, "Stop fighting, Ben and Lily. You have enough food. You need to share and be patient. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at Mom. They felt sorry. They said, "Yes, Mom, we understand. We are sorry." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. Now, eat your food and enjoy it. And say sorry to each other." + +Ben and Lily said sorry to each other. They gave each other a hug. They ate their food and shared their grapes. They were happy. Mom was happy, too. +Tom liked to whistle. He whistled when he played, when he ate, and when he went to bed. He whistled songs he knew and songs he made up. He whistled so much that his mom and dad sometimes asked him to be quiet. + +One night, Tom had a dream. He dreamed he was in space, flying in a big rocket. He saw stars and planets and moons. He whistled a happy tune as he looked out the window. He felt like he was the king of space. + +Suddenly, he heard a voice. It was not his mom or dad. It was not his sister or his dog. It was a strange and unusual voice. It said, "Hello, little whistler. Who are you and where are you going?" + +Tom was scared. He did not know who was talking to him. He looked around, but he saw no one. He wondered if he was still dreaming. He said, "I am Tom. I am in space. I am whistling. Who are you?" + +The voice said, "I am Zee. I am an alien. I live on this planet. I heard your whistling. It was very nice. I like whistling too. Can we be friends?" + +Tom was surprised. He did not know there were aliens in space. He did not know they could whistle. He did not know they could be friendly. He said, "You are an alien? You can whistle? You want to be friends?" + +Zee said, "Yes, yes, and yes. I am lonely here. I have no one to whistle with. Will you come and visit me? I will show you my home and my toys. We can have fun together." + +Tom thought for a moment. He was curious about Zee and his planet. He liked to make new friends. He liked to have fun. He said, "OK, Zee. I will come and visit you. But first, can you whistle with me?" + +Zee said, "Of course, Tom. I would love to whistle with you. Let's whistle a song together. What song do you want to whistle?" + +Tom said, "How about Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star? It is my favorite song. It is about space." + +Zee said, "I know that song. It is a beautiful song. It is about space. Let's whistle it together." + +And so, Tom and Zee whistled Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star in space. They whistled loud and clear. They whistled happy and proud. They whistled like two friends. And they had a wonderful time. +Tim likes to draw with his crayons. He draws cars, animals, and houses. He likes to show his drawings to his mom and dad. They say he is very good at drawing. + +One day, Tim finds a big machine in his dad's office. It has buttons and a screen and a tray. Tim is curious. He sees a paper with a picture of a bald man on the machine. He thinks it is funny. He wants to make more pictures of the bald man. + +He pushes a button on the machine. The machine makes a noise and prints another paper with the bald man. Tim is happy. He pushes the button again and again. The machine prints more and more papers with the bald man. The papers fill the tray and fall on the floor. + +Tim hears his dad coming. He is scared. He hides behind the machine. His dad sees the papers with the bald man. He is angry. He says, "Who did this? Who wasted all my paper and ink?" + +Tim comes out from behind the machine. He says, "I did, daddy. I'm sorry. I wanted to draw more bald men. I like them. They are funny." + +His dad looks at Tim. He sees his crayons and his drawings. He sees Tim's sad face. He is not angry anymore. He says, "I'm sorry, too, Tim. I should not have left the machine on. It is not for drawing. It is for work. You can draw with your crayons. They are better for drawing. And you can draw anything you want. Not just bald men." + +Tim nods. He says, "Okay, daddy. I'm sorry. Can I keep some of the bald men? They are funny." + +His dad smiles. He says, "Yes, you can keep some of the bald men. But not too many. We need to save some paper and ink. And maybe you can draw some hair on them. They might like that." + +Tim laughs. He says, "Okay, daddy. I will draw some hair on them. And some hats. And some glasses. And some noses. And some mouths. And some ears. And some..." + +His dad hugs him. He says, "You are very good at drawing, Tim. I love you." + +Tim hugs him back. He says, "I love you, too, daddy." +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big rock. They want to hop on the rock. + +"Let's hop on the rock!" Ben says. + +"OK!" Mia says. + +They run to the rock. They take turns to hop on the rock. They have fun. + +But then, Mia hops too hard. She hears a loud sound. She sees a crack on the rock. + +"Oh no!" Mia says. "I broke the rock!" + +Ben looks at the crack. He is not mad. He is kind. + +"Don't worry, Mia," Ben says. "It's just a crack. The rock is still there. We can still hop on it." + +Mia smiles. She is happy. She hugs Ben. + +"Thank you, Ben," Mia says. "You are a good friend." + +They hop on the rock again. They are careful. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new places. One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a big pond with ducks and fish. She wanted to get closer and see them better, so she took off her shoes and socks and walked to the edge of the water. + +"Be careful, Lily," her mom said. "Don't go too far." + +Lily nodded, but she was curious and brave. She dipped her toes in the water and felt how cold and wet it was. She giggled and wiggled her toes, making ripples and bubbles. She saw a fish swim by and tried to touch it, but it was too fast and slippery. + +"Guess what, mom?" she called out. "I saw a fish!" + +"That's wonderful, Lily," her mom said. "What color was it?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She remembered the fish had shiny scales and a long tail. She tried to find a word that matched its color. + +"It was...blue-green!" she said proudly. + +"Wow, that's a beautiful fish," her mom said. "You have good eyes, Lily." + +Lily smiled and looked around. She saw more fish and ducks and plants in the pond. She wanted to see them all, but she also knew she had to listen to her mom and stay safe. She decided to stay by the edge and watch the pond from there. She was happy and adventurous, and she loved to learn new things. +One day, a little boy named Ben went to the zoo with his mom and dad. He liked to see all the animals, but his favorite was the tiger. He wanted to talk to the tiger, but he did not know how. + +He saw a man who worked at the zoo. The man had a book with pictures of animals and words. He said he could teach Ben how to sign to the tiger. Ben was very happy and asked his mom and dad if he could learn. + +The man showed Ben how to make his hand look like a claw and move it up and down. He said that was the sign for tiger. He also showed him how to point to his nose and mouth. He said that was the sign for hello. He told Ben to try it with the tiger. + +Ben walked to the fence where the tiger was. He made the sign for tiger and then the sign for hello. The tiger looked at him and tilted his head. He made a soft growl and licked his lips. He also made the sign for tiger and then the sign for hello. Ben was very surprised and happy. He smiled and clapped his hands. + +The man said that the tiger liked Ben and wanted to be his friend. He said that Ben was very smart and brave to sign to the tiger. He gave Ben a sticker with a picture of a tiger and a word. He said that was the word for tiger in sign language. Ben thanked the man and showed his mom and dad his sticker. He said he wanted to come back to the zoo and sign to the tiger again. +Sam and Lily were bored. They had nothing to do. All their toys were dull. They looked out the window and saw a group of birds on the grass. They had bright feathers and made loud noises. + +"Let's go and see the birds!" Sam said. + +"Okay!" Lily said. + +They put on their shoes and ran outside. They tiptoed to the grass and saw the birds pecking at seeds. They looked happy and busy. + +"Can we touch them?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe. But be careful. They might fly away," Sam said. + +They reached out their hands and tried to poke the birds. But the birds were too fast. They flapped their wings and flew up in the air. They made angry sounds and flew away. + +"Oops!" Sam said. + +"Sorry, birds!" Lily said. + +They felt sad. They had scared the birds. They went back inside and sat on the couch. + +"Maybe we can play with our toys," Sam said. + +"Maybe. But they are still dull," Lily said. + +They sighed and looked at each other. They wished they had something fun to do. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toy horses in the garden. They liked to pretend they were farmers and had a big stable for their horses. They used a cardboard box and some sticks to make the stable. They put some grass and leaves inside for the horses to eat. + +One day, it was very hot and sunny. The grass and leaves became dry and brown. The horses did not like to eat them. Sara and Ben were sad. They wanted their horses to be happy and healthy. + +"Let's go and find some fresh grass and leaves for our horses," Sara said to Ben. "Maybe we can find some near the pond." + +"OK, let's go," Ben said. They took their horses and walked to the pond. They saw some green grass and some yellow flowers near the water. They picked some and put them in a basket. + +But when they came back to the stable, they saw something bad. A big wind had come and blown the stable away. The cardboard box and the sticks were twisted and broken. The horses had no place to stay. + +"Oh no, our stable is gone!" Sara cried. "What will we do?" + +"Don't cry, Sara," Ben said. "We can make a new stable. We can use some bigger boxes and some stronger sticks. And we can put some rocks on top to keep them from flying away. Come on, let's try." + +Sara and Ben worked hard to make a new stable. They used the fresh grass and leaves to make it cozy and soft. They put their horses inside and gave them some water. The horses neighed and licked their faces. They were happy and thankful. + +Sara and Ben smiled and hugged each other. They were proud of their new stable. They decided to name it Twisty Stable, because it was made from twisted things. They played with their horses until it was time to go inside. They said goodbye to their horses and promised to come back tomorrow. They had a lot of fun at Twisty Stable. +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir the soup, the cake, and the eggs. She used a big spoon and made circles in the bowl. She felt happy when her mom said, "Good job, Lily!" + +One day, Lily wanted to stir something new. She saw a jar of honey on the shelf. She took it down and opened it. She dipped her spoon in the honey and tried to stir it. But the honey was too sticky and thick. It did not make circles. It made a mess. + +Lily felt frustrated. She tried harder to stir the honey. She pulled and pushed the spoon. But the honey did not move. It only spilled on the table, the floor, and her dress. Lily started to cry. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to the kitchen. She saw the honey and the mess. She said, "Oh, Lily, what did you do?" + +Lily looked at her mom and said, "I wanted to stir the honey, but it did not work. I'm sorry, mom." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. Honey is not for stirring. It's for eating. But you have to be careful with it. It can make a big mess. Come on, let's clean up and change your clothes." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Can I stir something else later?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. How about we stir some lemonade and share it with our neighbor? She likes lemonade and she is very nice." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I like lemonade and I like our neighbor. Let's do that." + +Her mom and Lily cleaned up the honey and the mess. Then they changed their clothes and made some lemonade. They stirred it with sugar and ice. They poured it in two cups and took them outside. They walked to their neighbor's house and knocked on the door. Their neighbor opened the door and said, "Hello, Lily and mom. What a nice surprise!" + +Lily and her mom said, "Hello, neighbor. We made some lemonade and we want to share it with you. We stirred it very well." + +Their neighbor smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily and mom. That's very kind of you. I love lemonade and I love your company. Come in, come in. Let's drink and chat." + +Lily and her mom went in and sat with their neighbor. They drank the lemonade and talked. Lily felt happy. She liked to stir things and she liked to share them. She thought, "Stirring is fun, but sharing is better." +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play together. They have a modern house with many toys. But today, they are bored. They do not want to play with their toys. They want to do something new. + +"Let's find some exercise!" Lily says. "Exercise is good for us. It makes us strong and happy." + +"OK, how do we find exercise?" Max asks. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She sees a ball in the corner. She has an idea. + +"Let's play catch!" she says. "Catch is a fun exercise. We can throw and catch the ball. We can run and jump. We can laugh and shout." + +"Good idea!" Max says. He picks up the ball and throws it to Lily. + +Lily catches the ball and throws it back to Max. They run and jump. They laugh and shout. They have fun. They find exercise. + +They play catch for a long time. They get tired and thirsty. They go to the kitchen. They drink some water. They see a cake on the table. It looks yummy. + +"Can we have some cake?" Lily asks. + +"No, cake is not good for us." Max says. "Cake has too much sugar. Sugar is bad for our teeth and our tummy. We should eat something healthy." + +"Like what?" Lily asks. + +Max thinks for a moment. He sees some fruits in a bowl. He has an idea. + +"Let's eat some fruits!" he says. "Fruits are good for us. They have vitamins and fiber. They make us sweet and smart." + +"Good idea!" Lily says. She picks up an apple and bites it. It is crunchy and juicy. + +Max picks up a banana and peels it. It is soft and sweet. + +They eat some fruits. They feel good. They find exercise and health. They are happy. +Anna was restless. She did not want to sleep. She wanted to play with her toys and read her books. But Mommy said it was bedtime and turned off the light. + +Anna lay in her bed and looked at the dark. She heard a noise outside. It was a dog barking. She wondered what the dog was doing. Was it playing? Was it lonely? She wished she had a dog to cuddle with. + +She got out of her bed and went to the window. She saw the dog across the street. It was a big, brown dog with a white spot on its chest. It looked friendly. Anna smiled at the dog. The dog saw her and wagged its tail. + +"Hi, doggy!" Anna whispered. "Do you want to be my friend?" + +The dog barked again. It sounded happy. Anna wanted to go outside and pet the dog. But she knew Mommy would be angry if she did. She had to stay in her room. + +She felt sad. She remembered when she had a cat. Her cat was soft and warm and liked to sleep on her lap. Her cat was her best friend. But her cat got sick and went away. Mommy said her cat was in a better place now. Anna missed her cat. + +She paused. She heard a soft sound. It was Mommy coming to check on her. She quickly ran back to her bed and pretended to sleep. She hoped Mommy would not see her at the window. + +Mommy opened the door and peeked inside. She saw Anna in her bed. She smiled and walked over to her. She kissed her on the forehead and tucked her in. + +"Good night, sweetie," Mommy whispered. "I love you." + +"I love you too, Mommy," Anna whispered back. She felt Mommy's hand on her hair. She felt warm and safe. + +She closed her eyes and thought of her cat. She hoped her cat was happy in the better place. She hoped the dog across the street had a home and a family. She hoped she would dream of them both. + +She fell asleep. She was not restless anymore. +Lily was a modest girl who liked to share her toys and help her mom. She had many friends at school and they played nicely together. One day, they had a special activity where they could choose a sticker from a big box. Lily was very excited and waited for her turn. + +When it was Lily's turn, she looked at the box and saw many stickers. There were stickers of animals, flowers, stars, and letters. Lily liked them all, but she had to choose one. She thought for a moment and then picked a sticker of a heart. She thought it was pretty and kind. + +She smiled and showed her sticker to her teacher. "Good choice, Lily," her teacher said. "You can put it on your shirt or your notebook." Lily thanked her teacher and walked back to her seat. She was happy with her choice. + +But then, she saw Ben, a boy who sat next to her. Ben was crying and holding his arm. Lily asked him what was wrong. "I fell down and hurt my arm," Ben said. "It's a big pain and I don't have a sticker." Lily felt sorry for Ben. She knew how it felt to have a pain and no sticker. + +She looked at her sticker and then at Ben. She had an idea. She peeled off her sticker and gave it to Ben. "Here, you can have my sticker," she said. "It's a heart and it will make you feel better." Ben looked at the sticker and then at Lily. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice and generous." He put the sticker on his arm and felt a little better. + +Lily felt happy too. She had given away her sticker, but she had gained a friend. She had made a good choice. +Lily and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds like "vroom" and "beep" and pretend to drive them on the floor. + +One day, Lily finds a new car in her toy box. It is shiny and red and has a big number on the side. It also has a button on the top. Lily pushes the button and the car makes a loud noise like "zoom". She is very happy and shows it to Ben. + +"Wow, that is a cool car!" Ben says. "Can I try it?" + +"OK, but be careful," Lily says. She gives the car to Ben and he pushes the button. The car zooms across the floor and hits the wall. Ben laughs and pushes the button again. The car zooms back to him and he catches it. + +"This is so fun!" Ben says. "Where did you get it?" + +"I don't know," Lily says. "I think Mommy bought it for me. She said it was a cheap car, but I think it is a great car." + +Lily and Ben take turns to play with the car. They zoom it around the room and have a lot of fun. They don't notice that the car is making a strange sound like "sputter" and "crack". They also don't notice that the car is getting hot and smoky. + +Suddenly, the car stops zooming and starts to smoke. Lily and Ben smell something bad and see a flame coming out of the car. They are scared and drop the car on the floor. They run to Mommy and tell her what happened. + +Mommy comes to the room and sees the car on fire. She quickly gets a suit and covers the car with it. She puts out the fire and throws the car in the trash. She hugs Lily and Ben and tells them they are safe. + +"I'm sorry, kids," Mommy says. "That was a bad car. It was cheap, but it was also dangerous. It was not a good toy for you. I will get you a better car, one that is safe and fun." + +Lily and Ben nod and say thank you. They are sad that they lost their new car, but they are glad that Mommy is there. They hug Mommy and tell her they love her. They decide to play with their other cars, the ones that don't zoom, but don't smoke either. +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books, but they wanted to do something different. They looked out the window and saw that it was raining. The rain made big drops on the glass and the grass. + +"Let's make a fort!" Ben said. He liked to build things with cushions and blankets. Anna nodded and smiled. She liked to hide and pretend in forts. They took all the cushions from the sofa and the chairs and piled them up on the floor. They used a long blanket to cover the top and make a roof. + +They crawled inside the fort and felt cozy and warm. They brought some of their favorite toys and books with them. They played with their cars and dolls and read stories to each other. They could hear the rain outside, but they did not mind. They were having fun in their fort. + +"Can I join you?" Mom asked. She peeked inside the fort and saw Anna and Ben. They looked happy and busy. "This is a very nice fort. Can I come in and read a story with you?" + +"Yes, Mom!" Anna and Ben said. They made some room for Mom and gave her a book. Mom crawled inside the fort and hugged them. She read them a story about a bear and a rabbit who were friends. They listened and laughed and asked questions. They forgot about the rain and enjoyed their time in the fort. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite one was a horn. She liked to blow the horn and make loud noises. She thought it was fun and funny. + +One day, she wanted to share her horn with her friend Max. She called him on the phone and said, "Hi, Max. Do you want to come to my house and play with my horn? I invite you to come and have fun with me." + +Max was excited to hear Lily's voice. He liked Lily and he liked horns. He said, "Yes, Lily. I want to come and play with your horn. Thank you for inviting me. I will be there soon." + +Lily was happy that Max said yes. She ran to her room and got her horn. She waited for Max at the door. She heard a knock and opened it.

She said Mia had to eat it or she would be hungry and sad. + +One morning, Mia had an idea. She saw a lovely red apple on the counter. She loved apples. They were sweet and juicy and crunchy.

You need to spit it out." + +"Here, mommy, help him!" Ben says. He runs to get their mommy, who is in the bathroom. + +Mommy comes quickly and sees what has happened. She takes the bottle away from Sam and rinses his mouth with water. She hugs him and kisses his lip. + +"It's OK, Sam, you'll be fine," she says. "But don't drink soap again. It's not for drinking. It's for washing." + +"I'm sorry, mommy," Sam says. He stops crying and snuggles with her. + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for Sam. They give him their toys to cheer him up. + +"Here, Sam, you can play with my doll," Anna says. + +"And you can play with my car," Ben says. + +"Thank you, Anna, thank you, Ben," Sam says.

Why is it wet and loose?" + +Her mom looked at the doll. She said, "Oh, I see. You used water-soluble thread. That means the thread dissolves in water. You must have spilled some juice on your doll this morning. That's why the thread came out and the dress got wet." + +Lily said, "Oh, no! Can we fix it?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can. We can use regular thread and dry the dress. Then we can sew it again. It will look as good as new." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best.

It was her teddy bear, Ben. He had been hiding under the blanket. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'm here with you. You are not alone. The dark is not bad. It is just quiet and peaceful. The noises and shadows are just your friends, the wind and the moon. They are saying good night to you. You can say good night to them, too." + +Lily looked at Ben and smiled.

What do you think?" + +Anna thought for a while. She said, "I think the clouds are soft and cold. I think they are like cotton or snow. I think they are nice and friendly.

That way, you can share your love for the sky with others." + +Anna nodded. She understood. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are very smart and kind. You teach me a lot. I love you and I love the sky. I will make friends with other children and the clouds." + +The moral value of the story is: Be curious and learn about the world, but also be social and share your knowledge and feelings with others. +Lily liked kittens very much.

They have many toys, but they want to play with the same one. It is a red car that makes noise when you push it. + +"Give me the car!" Lily says. She tries to grab it from Ben. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. He holds the car tight. + +They start to fight and pull the car. They are very loud and angry. + +"Stop!" Mom says. She comes from the kitchen. She sees Lily and Ben fighting. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting?" + +"Lily wants my car!" Ben tells Mom. + +"Ben won't share!" Lily tells Mom. + +Mom looks at the car. She sees that it is broken. The wheels are off and the noise is gone. + +"Look what you did!" Mom says. "You broke the car! Now no one can play with it!" + +Lily and Ben feel sad. They are sorry for breaking the car. They wish they had shared. + +"Mom, we are sorry," Lily and Ben say. + +Mom sighs. She is not angry anymore. She loves Lily and Ben. + +"It's okay," Mom says. "But you need to learn to share. There are many other toys available. You can play with them together or take turns." + +She shows them the other toys on the shelf. There are dolls, blocks, books, and puzzles. + +"Can we play with the wall?" Lily asks. She likes to draw on the wall with crayons. + +"No, you can't play with the wall," Mom says. "The wall is not a toy. It is part of the house. You can play with paper and crayons instead." + +She gives them some paper and crayons. Lily and Ben smile. They decide to draw a picture of the car. They use red, yellow, and blue. They make the car look nice and happy. + +They show Mom their picture. Mom smiles too. She is proud of Lily and Ben. + +"That's a beautiful picture," Mom says. "You are very creative. And you are very good at sharing. I'm glad you are getting along." + +Lily and Ben hug Mom. They are happy too. They learned a lesson. Sharing is better than fighting. And playing with paper is better than playing with the wall. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big egg under a bush. It was shiny and green. + +"Wow, look at that egg!" Tim said. "Maybe it has a dinosaur inside!" + +"Let's take it home and see!" Sam said. They picked up the egg and ran to the house. + +They put the egg on the table and waited. The egg started to crack. Tim and Sam were excited. They wanted to see the dinosaur. + +But the egg did not have a dinosaur. It had a snake. A big, scary snake. It had red eyes and sharp teeth. It hissed and slithered out of the egg. It glowed in the dark. + +"Help! Help!" Tim and Sam screamed. They ran away from the snake. They were very afraid. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to the kitchen. They saw the snake and the egg. They were shocked. + +"Where did you get that egg?" Mom asked. + +"We found it in the garden!" Tim said. + +"That's a terrible egg!" Dad said. "That's not a dinosaur, that's a venomous snake! It could have bitten you!" + +He grabbed a broom and chased the snake away. He threw the egg in the trash. + +"Never touch strange eggs again!" Mom said. "They could be dangerous!" + +Tim and Sam nodded. They learned their lesson. They hugged Mom and Dad and said sorry. They never played with eggs again. +Lily was a big girl who liked to help her mom and dad. She could do many tasks, like putting away her toys, setting the table, and watering the plants. She was proud of herself and her mom and dad were happy with her. + +One day, mom asked Lily to help her fold the laundry. Lily did not want to do this task. She thought it was boring and hard. She said no to mom and ran to her room. She refused to help mom with the laundry. + +Mom was sad and angry. She went to Lily's room and knocked on the door. She told Lily that she was being rude and selfish. She said that Lily had to do her part in the family and that folding the laundry was not a big task. She said that Lily should be ashamed of herself for refusing to help. + +Lily felt bad. She realized that she had hurt mom's feelings and that she had been lazy and ungrateful. She said sorry to mom and hugged her. She said that she would help mom with the laundry and any other task that mom needed. She said that she wanted to be a good girl and make mom and dad happy. + +Mom smiled and forgave Lily. She said that she loved Lily and that she was proud of her for admitting her mistake and changing her attitude. She said that everyone makes mistakes, but the important thing is to learn from them and do better. She said that Lily was a big girl who could do many tasks, but also a kind girl who could help others. They went to the living room and folded the laundry together. They had fun and talked and laughed. Lily was happy and mom was happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. + +"Look, Lily, I can reverse my car!" Ben said, as he moved his car backwards. "Beep beep!" + +"That's cool, Ben, but can you do this?" Lily said, as she lifted her car in the air and made it fly. "Whee!" + +They laughed and kept playing, until they heard a loud noise from the TV. They looked up and saw a big whale on the screen. It was jumping out of the water and splashing. + +"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked. + +"That's a whale, Lily. It's a big fish that lives in the sea. It can make noises like this." Ben said, and tried to imitate the whale's sound. "Ooooh!" + +"I like the whale, Ben. It's so big and pretty. Can we go see it?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe, Lily. But we have to ask Mom and Dad first. And we have to go far away, because the whale lives in the deep water." Ben said. + +"OK, Ben. Let's ask them later. But now, let's play some more. I have an idea. Let's pretend that our cars are whales, too. And we can make them jump and splash and talk." Lily said. + +"OK, Lily. That sounds fun. Let's do it." Ben said. + +They put their cars on the couch and made them slide and bounce and make whale noises. They had a lot of fun, and forgot about the old TV. They were happy, because they had each other and their imagination. +Tom likes to study how things work. He has many toys that can move and make sounds. He wants to know what makes them do that. He likes to open them and look inside. He sees wires and batteries and motors. + +One day, he finds a big toy car in the garage. It is his dad's old toy. It is dusty and broken. Tom wants to fix it. He takes his tools and opens the car. He sees a big motor inside. He thinks it is very cool. + +He cleans the motor and checks the wires. He finds a loose wire and connects it. He puts new batteries in the car. He closes the car and turns it on. The car starts to move and make sounds. Tom is very glad. He has fixed the car. + +He runs to show his dad. His dad is surprised and proud. He hugs Tom and says he is very smart. He lets Tom play with the car in the yard. Tom has fun driving the car. He is happy. He likes to study how things work. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have a big armchair that is soft and cozy. They both want to sit on the armchair and read their books. + +"Move, Sara! I want to sit on the armchair!" Ben says. + +"No, Ben! I was here first! You can sit on the floor!" Sara says. + +They start to push and pull each other. They are not happy. They are not sharing. + +Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She sees them fighting over the armchair. She is not happy either. + +"Stop, Sara and Ben! You are being rude and selfish! You have to share the armchair. It is big enough for both of you. Why don't you take turns or sit together?" Mom says. + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry. They don't want to make Mom sad. They don't want to fight. + +"Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Sara. You can sit on the armchair first. I can wait." Ben says. + +"Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Ben. You can sit on the armchair with me. We can read our books together." Sara says. + +They hug and smile. They go to the armchair and sit side by side.

She sits on the couch and watches them. She is proud of them. They are learning to share. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a feather. The feather was soft and white and came from a bird. Lily liked to tickle her doll and her car with the feather. She made them laugh and say "stop, stop, it tickles!" + +One day, Lily wanted to see if the feather could fly like a bird. She went to the window and opened it. She held the feather in her hand and threw it in the air. She watched the feather go up and down and left and right. She clapped her hands and said "fly, fly, feather!" + +But then, a big wind came and blew the feather away. Lily was sad and said "oh no, my feather!" She ran to the door and put on her shoes and coat. She wanted to find her feather. She was careful to look both ways before she crossed the street. She followed the feather as it flew over the houses and the trees and the cars. + +She saw the feather land on a big dog. The dog was brown and furry and had a long tail. Lily liked dogs and said "hello, dog, can I have my feather?" The dog looked at Lily and wagged his tail. He liked Lily too. He opened his mouth and gave Lily the feather. Lily was happy and said "thank you, dog, you are nice!" + +She hugged the dog and the feather. She decided to share her feather with the dog. She tickled the dog with the feather and made him laugh and say "woof, woof, it tickles!" They played together until it was time to go home. Lily said "bye, bye, dog, see you soon!" She took her feather and ran back to her house. She was careful to look both ways before she crossed the street. She was glad she tried to find her feather. She had a new friend and a fun adventure. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls with long hair, short hair, curly hair and straight hair. She liked to comb their hair and make them look pretty. She had a pink comb that she used for her dolls. + +One day, she was playing with her dolls in her room. She heard her mom call her name. "Anna, time for lunch!" Mom said. Anna put down her comb and ran to the kitchen. She was hungry and wanted to eat. + +Mom made her a sandwich and some juice. She put them on a plate and gave them to Anna. "Here you go, sweetie. Enjoy your lunch," Mom said. She smiled and kissed Anna on the head. + +Anna ate her sandwich and drank her juice. She liked the taste and felt full. She thanked Mom and asked if she could go back to her room. Mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But don't forget to brush your teeth after you eat." + +Anna said, "OK, Mom. I will." She got up and ran to her room. She wanted to play with her dolls some more. She looked for her comb, but she could not find it. She searched under her bed, in her closet, on her shelf, but the comb was not there. She felt sad and confused. Where was her comb? + +She tried to remember where she left it. She thought hard and closed her eyes. She saw a picture in her mind. She saw her comb on the floor, next to her doll. She opened her eyes and smiled. She remembered where her comb was. She ran to the kitchen and saw her comb on the floor, next to her doll. She picked it up and hugged it. She was happy and relieved. She said, "I found it! I found my comb!" + +Mom heard her and came to see. She saw Anna holding her comb and smiling. She was proud and happy. She said, "Good job, Anna. You remembered where your comb was. You are very alert and smart." She hugged Anna and said, "Now, go brush your teeth and then you can play with your dolls." + +Anna said, "OK, Mom. I will." She ran to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She felt clean and fresh. She ran back to her room and played with her dolls. She combed their hair and made them look pretty.

Lily had long hair and a pink dress. Sara liked to pretend that Lily was a princess who lived in a big castle. + +One day, Sara decided to take Lily on a trip around the world. She put Lily in a basket and went outside. She saw a big truck that was full of boxes. She thought the boxes had toys inside. She wanted to see the toys, so she climbed on the truck. + +But the truck was not full of toys. It was full of food and water and medicine. The truck was going to supply people who were hungry and sick and needed help. Sara did not know that. She was ignorant. She only wanted to play. + +She opened a box and took out a bottle of water. She poured the water on Lily's hair and said, "Look, Lily, you are in the ocean!" She opened another box and took out a can of beans. She opened the can and said, "Look, Lily, you are in a forest!" She opened another box and took out a bandage. She wrapped the bandage around Lily's arm and said, "Look, Lily, you are in a hospital!" + +But then, the driver of the truck came back. He saw Sara and Lily and the boxes. He was angry. He said, "What are you doing? You are wasting the supplies! These are not for you! These are for people who need them!" He took Lily and the basket and the boxes and put them back on the truck. He said, "Go home, little girl. You don't know anything about the world." + +Sara was sad. She cried. She wanted Lily back. She did not understand why the driver was mad. She did not know she did something wrong. She only wanted to play. +Tom and Sam were best friends. They liked to play outside and run and jump. One day, they saw a tall tree with many apples. They wanted to pick some apples and eat them. + +"Let's climb the tree and get some apples!" Sam said. + +"OK, but be careful. The tree is very tall and the branches are thin," Tom said. + +They climbed the tree and reached for the apples. But Sam was too greedy and tried to grab too many apples at once. He lost his balance and fell from the tree. He hurt his arm and his leg and cried out loud. + +"Sam, are you OK?" Tom asked. He climbed down the tree and ran to Sam. + +"It hurts, it hurts!" Sam said. He had a big cut on his arm and a bruise on his leg. + +"Let me help you. I have a bandage in my backpack," Tom said. He took out a bandage and wrapped it around Sam's arm. He also helped Sam stand up and walk. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend," Sam said. + +"You're welcome, Sam. But next time, don't be so greedy. Greed can make you fall and get hurt," Tom said. + +"I know, I know. You remind me of my mom. She always tells me to share and be careful," Sam said. + +They hugged and walked back home. They learned a lesson that day: greed is bad and friendship is good. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They make snowballs and snowmen and snow forts. They have a lot of fun. + +One day, Anna sees a red sled in Ben's yard. She wants to try it. She asks Ben, "Can I borrow your sled?" + +Ben says, "No, you can't. It is my sled. I got it for my birthday. It is very fast and tough. You might break it or lose it." + +Anna feels sad. She says, "Please, Ben. I will be careful. I will give it back to you. I just want to slide down the hill once." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes Anna. He does not want to make her sad. He says, "Okay, Anna. You can borrow my sled. But only for a little while. And you have to share it with me." + +Anna smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I will share it with you. Come on, let's go to the hill." + +They take the sled to the hill. They take turns sliding down. They laugh and scream. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They share the sled. They are good friends. +Anna likes to visit her aunt Lily. Aunt Lily has a big garden with many flowers and fruits. Anna likes to smell the roses and taste the strawberries. She also likes to help her aunt water the plants and pull out the weeds. + +One day, Anna sees a big butterfly on a yellow flower. She runs to catch it, but it flies away. She follows it to another flower, and then another, and another. She does not see where she is going. She steps on a sharp rock and hurts her foot. She cries out loud. + +Aunt Lily hears her cry and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Anna's foot bleeding and picks her up. She takes her inside the house and cleans her wound. She puts a bandage on it and gives her a hug. + +"Anna, you have to be careful when you play in the garden. There are many things that can hurt you, like rocks, thorns, and bees. You have to watch where you step and stay close to me. Do you understand?" Aunt Lily says. + +Anna nods and says, "I'm sorry, Aunt Lily. I wanted to catch the butterfly. It was so pretty and colorful. I wanted to learn more about it." + +Aunt Lily smiles and says, "I know, Anna. Butterflies are very interesting and beautiful. But you don't have to catch them to learn about them. You can look at them from a distance and observe how they move and what they eat. You can also read books and watch videos about them. That way, you can learn without hurting yourself or the butterflies. Do you want to try that?" + +Anna nods again and says, "Yes, Aunt Lily. Thank you for helping me. You are very kind and smart. I love you." + +Aunt Lily hugs her and says, "I love you too, Anna. You are very brave and curious. I'm proud of you. Now, let's have some healthy snacks and watch a butterfly video together. How does that sound?" + +Anna smiles and says, "That sounds great, Aunt Lily. You are the best aunt ever." +Sara likes gum. She likes to chew it and make bubbles. But she knows she cannot have gum in school. Mom says gum is for home or the park. + +One day, Sara finds a gum in her pocket. She is very happy. She thinks no one will see her if she chews it quietly. She puts the gum in her mouth and starts to chew. + +But then, her teacher calls her name. She wants Sara to stand in front of the class and say the alphabet. Sara is scared. She does not want the teacher to see her gum. She tries to hide it under her tongue. + +She stands up and walks to the front. She opens her mouth and says "A". But then, the gum falls out of her mouth and lands on the floor. The teacher and the other kids see it. They gasp and point. + +Sara feels very bad. She knows she did something wrong. She says "sorry" to the teacher and picks up the gum. The teacher is not angry. She says "it's okay, Sara. You made a mistake. But you should not chew gum in school. It is not good for your teeth or the floor. Do you understand?" + +Sara nods. She says "yes, teacher. I understand. I will not chew gum in school again. I will only chew it at home or the park." The teacher smiles. She says "that's fine, Sara. You are a good girl. Now, go back to your seat and finish the alphabet." + +Sara goes back to her seat. She feels a little sad, but also a little happy. She knows the teacher is nice and she learned a lesson. She says the rest of the alphabet and gets a sticker. She thinks gum is good, but school is better. +Lily was a playful girl who liked to run and jump and laugh. She had a big ball that she loved to bounce and throw and catch. One day, she was playing with her ball in the park with her mother. She threw the ball very high and tried to catch it, but it bounced away from her. + +"Come back, ball!" Lily shouted. She ran after the ball, but it rolled faster and faster. She did not see the big dog that was chasing the ball too. The dog was bigger than Lily and had sharp teeth and loud barks. The dog reached the ball before Lily and grabbed it with his mouth. He shook the ball hard and made it pop. + +Lily was very sad and scared. She wanted her ball back, but the dog was mean and scary. She started to cry. She cried very loud and very hard. She cried so much that her mother heard her and came running. + +"What's wrong, Lily?" her mother asked. She saw the dog and the broken ball and hugged Lily. "Oh, you poor thing. That dog was very naughty. He broke your ball. I'm sorry, Lily." + +Lily cried some more and hugged her mother. She felt better with her mother's arms around her. Her mother kissed her and wiped her tears. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. We can get you a new ball. A bigger and better ball. And we can find a nice dog to play with. A friendly and gentle dog. Would you like that, Lily?" + +Lily nodded and smiled a little. She still missed her ball, but she was happy with her mother. She said, "Yes, mother. I would like that. Thank you, mother. I love you, mother." + +"I love you too, Lily," her mother said. "Now let's go home and have some cookies and milk. And then we can look for a new ball and a nice dog. OK?" + +"OK, mother," Lily said. She held her mother's hand and walked away from the park. She was still a playful girl who liked to run and jump and laugh. But she also liked to hug and kiss and love. And she learned to be careful of big dogs and mean dogs. And she learned that her mother was always there for her. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play with their toys. They had a big box of toys, but their favorite was a red sail boat. They liked to pretend they were sailors and explore the sea. + +One day, they decided to record their adventure with their dad's camera. They asked their dad if they could borrow his camera, and he said yes, but they had to be careful with it. He showed them how to turn it on and off, and how to press the button to record. + +Tom and Lily took the camera and the sail boat to the bathtub. They filled the tub with water and put the sail boat in it. They turned on the camera and put it on the edge of the tub. Then they started to play. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Tom said in a pirate voice. "Are you ready to sail the seven seas?" + +"Aye, aye, captain!" Lily said, saluting. "The weather is perfect for sailing!" + +They made the sail boat go around the tub, making waves and splashes. They pretended to see sharks, dolphins, and treasure islands. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, something bad happened. Lily reached for the camera to record a close-up of the sail boat, but she slipped and knocked the camera into the water. The camera made a loud noise and stopped working. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Lily cried. "We broke dad's camera!" + +They quickly took the camera out of the water and dried it with a towel. But it was too late. The camera was broken and wet. They felt very sorry and scared. + +They ran to their dad and told him what happened. They said they were sorry and they didn't mean to break his camera. They hoped he would not be angry. + +Their dad looked at the camera and sighed. He was sad and disappointed, but he was not angry. He hugged them and said, "I know you didn't mean to break my camera, but you should have been more careful. The camera was very expensive and important to me. Now I can't use it anymore." + +He explained to them that the camera was not a toy, and that water could damage it. He told them that they should always ask before they use something that belongs to someone else, and that they should respect and take care of other people's things. + +Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They said they were sorry again and they promised to be more careful next time. They also offered to help their dad save money to buy a new camera. + +Their dad smiled and thanked them. He said he was proud of them for being honest and responsible. He said he loved them very much, and that they were his perfect twins. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have a big case full of toys. They can open and close the case with a key. + +One day, Sara wants to play with the doll. She looks for the doll in the case, but she cannot find it. She asks Tom, "Where is the doll?" + +Tom says, "I don't know. Maybe you lost it." + +Sara gets angry. She thinks Tom took the doll. She says, "No, I did not lose it. You have it. Give it to me!" + +Tom says, "No, I don't have it. Go away!" + +Sara and Tom start to fight. They pull and push each other. They scream very loud. + +Mom hears them scream. She runs to their room. She sees them fight. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it! Stop it now! Why are you screaming?" + +Sara and Tom stop fighting. They look at Mom. They are scared. They say, "Sorry, Mom." + +Mom says, "What is the problem? Why are you fighting?" + +Sara says, "Tom took my doll. He hid it in the case." + +Tom says, "No, I did not. Sara lost her doll. She blames me." + +Mom says, "Let me see the case. Where is the key?" + +Sara and Tom look for the key. They cannot find it. They say, "We don't know. We lost the key." + +Mom says, "Oh no. How can we open the case without the key? The case is very long and hard. We need the key." + +Sara and Tom feel sad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were bad. We will look for the key." + +Mom says, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to be nice to each other. And you have to take care of your toys and your key. Now, let's look for the key together. Maybe it is under the bed or in the drawer." + +Sara and Tom nod. They hug Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Sara and Tom. Now, let's find the key and the doll." +Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Tom. She checked behind the trees, under the benches, and in the bushes. She could not find Tom anywhere. + +"Tom, where are you?" Lily shouted. "I give up, you win!" + +Tom heard Lily and smiled. He had found a great hiding spot behind a big red slide. He was about to come out and celebrate his victory, when he saw something else appear behind the slide. It was a big, mean dog with sharp teeth and a loud bark. The dog saw Tom and ran towards him, growling and snarling. + +"Help, help!" Tom screamed. "Lily, help me!" + +Lily heard Tom's voice and ran to the slide. She saw the dog attacking Tom and got very scared. She wanted to help Tom, but she did not know what to do. She looked around for someone to help, but there was no one else in the park. She felt helpless and sad. + +The dog bit Tom's leg and dragged him away. Tom cried and begged for the dog to stop, but the dog did not listen. Lily watched as Tom disappeared with the dog. She felt very sorry for Tom and wished she had found him sooner. She wondered if she would ever see Tom again. She wished they had never played hide and seek. She wished they had stayed home. She wished the dog had never appeared. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore new things. One day, she saw a big box in the living room. She wondered what was inside. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is in the box?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "It is a surprise for your birthday, Lily. You have to wait until tomorrow to open it. Please do not touch the box or leave it alone." + +Lily nodded, but she was still very curious. She wanted to peek inside the box. She waited until her mom went to the kitchen. Then she tiptoed to the box and lifted the lid. She saw a fluffy teddy bear with a red bow. She gasped and reached for it. + +But as she did, she heard her mom's voice. "Lily, what are you doing?" Her mom came back and saw her with the box open. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, you did not listen to me. You touched the box and left it alone. That is not nice. You spoiled the surprise. Now you have to wait until next week to get your teddy bear." + +Lily felt sad and sorry. She put the teddy bear back in the box and closed the lid. She hugged her mom's waist and said, "I am sorry, mom. I was too curious. I will not do it again. Please forgive me." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "I forgive you, Lily. I love you. But you have to learn to be patient and follow the rules. Curiosity is good, but not when it makes you do bad things. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I love you too. I will wait until next week to get my teddy bear. And I will not touch the box or leave it alone again." +Lily liked to play with yarn. She had many colors of yarn in her box. She could make things with yarn, like hats and scarves and dolls. She liked to show her things to her mom and dad. + +One day, Lily found a new color of yarn in her box. It was pale, like the moon. It was soft and shiny, like silk. Lily wanted to make something special with it. She thought and thought. Then she had an idea. + +She took the pale yarn and some needles and started to knit. She knitted for a long time, until she had a big piece of cloth. Then she cut and sewed the cloth into a dress. She put the dress on her doll. The doll looked very pretty in the pale dress. + +Lily was proud of her work. She ran to her mom and dad and showed them her doll. "Look, look, I made a dress with the pale yarn!" she said. + +Her mom and dad smiled and nodded. They hugged Lily and praised her. "You are very clever and creative, Lily," they said. "The dress is beautiful. The pale yarn suits your doll very well." + +Lily was happy. She thanked her mom and dad and hugged her doll. She put the doll on her bed and kissed her goodnight. She dreamed of making more things with yarn. +Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big hill with many rocks. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Sara says. "Maybe we can find some flowers or animals." + +"OK, Sara, but be careful. The rocks are sharp and hard. We have to step slowly and watch where we put our feet." Tom says. + +They start to climb the hill. They step on the rocks and hold on to the grass. They see some ants and spiders and a bird's nest. They are happy and curious. + +But then, Sara steps on something that hurts her foot. She cries out loud and falls down. Tom runs to her and sees what she stepped on. It is a spike, a long and thin metal thing that sticks out of the ground. It is dry and rusty and has blood on it. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, Tom! It hurts!" Sara says. She holds her foot and cries. + +"Don't worry, Sara, I'm here. I'll help you. We have to go back and find Mom and Dad. They will make it better." Tom says. He takes off his sock and wraps it around Sara's foot. He lifts her up and carries her down the hill. + +They find Mom and Dad, who are sitting on a bench. They see Sara's foot and the spike and they are scared and angry. + +"Who put this spike here? It is very dangerous and bad. It could hurt someone very badly." Mom says. + +"I don't know, Mom. We were just climbing the hill and Sara stepped on it. It was hidden under the grass." Tom says. + +Mom and Dad hug Sara and Tom and take them to the car. They drive to the doctor, who cleans Sara's foot and gives her a bandage and a sticker. He says she will be OK, but she has to rest and take some medicine. + +Sara and Tom are glad that the doctor is nice and that they have each other. They say sorry to the hill and the animals and promise to be more careful next time. They hope that someone will take away the spike and make the park safe and fun again. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tom wants to go on the slide, but Anna is scared. + +"Come on, Anna, it is fun!" Tom says. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top and smiles. He slides down very fast and laughs. + +Anna watches Tom. She wants to try, but she is afraid. She thinks the slide is too high and too fast. She suffers in her heart. She does not want to be a baby, but she does not want to be hurt. + +"Anna, Anna, come here!" Tom calls. He runs to Anna and holds her hand. "You can do it, Anna. I will help you. It is not scary, it is fun. Trust me." + +Tom leads Anna to the slide. He climbs up the ladder with her. He sits behind her and hugs her. He says, "Are you ready, Anna? We will go together. Just open your eyes and smile. You will see, it is amazing." + +Anna nods. She opens her eyes and smiles. She feels Tom's hug. She hears his voice. She trusts him. They slide down together. They feel the wind and the sun. They laugh. + +Anna is happy. She is not scared anymore. She likes the slide. She thanks Tom. They hug. They are friends. They play in the park. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a cute dog with a red collar. The dog is running and jumping. Anna and Ben want to pet the dog. + +"Hi, doggy!" Anna says. "Can we be your friends?" + +The dog stops and looks at them. He wags his tail. He likes Anna and Ben. He runs to them and licks their faces. + +"Wow, he is so friendly!" Ben says. "What is your name, doggy?" + +The dog barks. He does not have a name. He is lost. He ran away from his home. He is sad and scared. + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for the dog. They want to help him. They look around the park. They see a radio on a bench. The radio is talking. + +"Attention, everyone!" the radio says. "We are looking for a cute dog with a red collar. He is missing from his home. His name is Whistle. If you see him, please call this number." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They found Whistle's home. They hug the dog. + +"Don't worry, Whistle!" Anna says. "We will take you back to your home. Your family is looking for you. They love you." + +Whistle barks. He is happy. He likes Anna and Ben. He thanks them. He whistles with his nose. + +Anna and Ben laugh. They think Whistle is funny. They take him to the bench. They call the number on the radio. They wait for Whistle's family. + +Soon, a car arrives. A man and a woman get out. They are Whistle's family. They are very happy to see him. They hug him and kiss him. + +"Whistle, we missed you so much!" the woman says. "How did you get lost?" + +"We don't know," the man says. "He must have slipped out of the door. We searched everywhere for him. Thank you for finding him. You are very kind." + +Anna and Ben smile. They are glad to help. They say goodbye to Whistle and his family. They wave as they drive away. + +"Bye, Whistle!" Anna says. "We hope to see you again!" + +"Bye, Anna and Ben!" Whistle says. He whistles with his nose. He is happy to go home. He has new friends. He will never forget them. +Lily and Ben love to ride their bikes. They ride fast and slow, up and down, and all around the park. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, it rains very hard. The rain makes a lot of water on the ground. The water gets higher and higher. It is a flood. Lily and Ben cannot ride their bikes in the flood. They are sad and bored. + +They look out the window and see a big boat. The boat is on the street. It floats on the water. The boat has a man and a dog. The man waves to Lily and Ben. He says, "Do you want to ride on my boat?" + +Lily and Ben are happy and excited. They ask their mom if they can go. Their mom says yes, but they have to be careful and wear life jackets. They put on their life jackets and run to the boat. The man helps them get on. The dog wags his tail and licks their faces. + +They ride on the boat and see many things. They see cars and houses and trees in the water. They see ducks and fish and frogs. They see other people and animals on roofs and balconies. They wave and say hello. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +After a while, they get sleepy. They yawn and rub their eyes. The man says, "It is time to go back. The water is going down. You can ride your bikes again soon." He takes them back to their house. They thank him and his dog. They hug and say goodbye. + +They go inside and take off their life jackets. They tell their mom about their adventure. They are happy and proud. They drink some milk and eat some cookies. They go to their beds and snuggle with their toys. They are sleepy and tired. They close their eyes and dream of riding on the boat. +Lila and Ben were playing knights and dragons in the garden. Lila had a big shield made of cardboard and Ben had a wooden sword. They pretended to fight the scary dragon that lived in the bushes. + +"Roar!" Ben shouted, waving his sword. "I am the dragon and I will mark you with my fire!" + +"No, you won't!" Lila said, holding her shield in front of her. "I am the brave knight and I will protect the castle!" + +They ran around the garden, chasing and dodging each other. They had a lot of fun and made a lot of noise. + +Then, they heard a real roar from the bushes. They stopped and looked. A small, furry cat came out of the hiding place. It had orange stripes and green eyes. It looked at them and meowed. + +"Look, it's a baby dragon!" Ben said, dropping his sword. + +"It's not a dragon, it's a cat!" Lila said, lowering her shield. + +"It's so adorable!" they both said, running towards the cat. + +They petted the cat and gave it some milk. The cat purred and licked their faces. They decided to name it Mark, because it had a mark on its forehead. They asked their mom if they could keep it. She said yes, as long as they took good care of it. + +Lila and Ben were very happy. They had a new friend and a new adventure. They hugged Mark and thanked him for being their baby dragon. +Tim and Liz are hungry. They want to have a snack. They go to the kitchen and look at the refrigerator. The refrigerator is huge. It has many things inside. + +"What do you want to have?" Tim asks Liz. + +"I want to have a banana," Liz says. + +"I want to have a cheese stick," Tim says. + +They open the refrigerator and take out a banana and a cheese stick. They peel the banana and unwrap the cheese stick. They sit on the floor and eat their snack. + +"Yum, this is good," Liz says. + +"Me too, I like cheese," Tim says. + +They hear a noise. It is Mom. She comes into the kitchen and sees them. + +"Hi, kids. What are you doing?" Mom asks. + +"We are having a snack," Tim says. + +"We found a banana and a cheese stick in the refrigerator," Liz says. + +"That's nice. But you should ask me first before you take things from the refrigerator," Mom says. + +"Sorry, Mom. We were hungry," Tim says. + +"It's okay. But next time, please ask me. And don't forget to close the refrigerator door. It wastes energy," Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom. We will remember," Liz says. + +They finish their snack and give Mom a hug. They close the refrigerator door and go to play. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big tub of water and some toys. They liked to make the toys splash and swim in the water. They had a duck, a frog, a fish and a bear. + +"Look, the duck is happy in the water!" Lily said. She made the duck quack and dive. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben said. He grabbed the frog and made it hop and croak. + +They laughed and had fun. But the bear was not happy. He did not like the water. He was nervous. He did not want to get wet. He tried to hide behind the tub. + +Lily saw the bear. She had an idea. She smiled and whispered to Ben. "Let's soak the bear!" + +Ben nodded. He thought it was funny. They picked up the bear and threw him into the water. The bear splashed and sank. He was very wet and very sad. + +"Help, help!" the bear cried. "I don't like the water! I want to get out!" + +Lily and Ben stopped laughing. They felt sorry for the bear. They realized they had been mean. They quickly took the bear out of the water. They hugged him and dried him with a towel. + +"We're sorry, bear," Lily said. "We didn't mean to scare you. We won't soak you again." + +"Are you okay, bear?" Ben asked. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The bear nodded. He forgave them. He was still nervous, but he was also glad. He had friends who cared for him. He decided to play with them, but only on the grass. He did not want to go near the water again. +Tom is a curious boy. He likes to explore and learn new things. One day, he sees a man in the park. The man has a big beard and a hat. He is sitting on a bench and reading a book. + +Tom walks up to the man and says, "Hello, what are you doing?" + +The man looks at Tom and smiles. He says, "Hello, little one. I am reading a book. It is a story about a dragon and a princess." + +Tom likes stories. He says, "Can you tell me the story?" + +The man nods and says, "Sure, why not. Come, sit next to me and listen." + +Tom sits next to the man and listens. The man tells him the story of how the dragon kidnapped the princess and how the brave knight rescued her. Tom is very interested and asks many questions. + +While the man is talking, Tom sees something shiny in his beard. He reaches out and touches it. It is a metal ring. Tom is curious. He wonders what it is and how it got there. He pulls the ring and tries to take it out. + +The man feels a tug on his beard and says, "Ouch, what are you doing?" + +Tom says, "Sorry, I saw a ring in your beard. What is it?" + +The man says, "It is a piercing. I put it there because I like it. It is part of my style." + +Tom does not know what a piercing or a style is. He says, "Can I have it?" + +The man says, "No, you can't. It is mine and it is attached to my skin. If you take it, it will hurt me and make me bleed." + +Tom is surprised and scared. He says, "Oh, I don't want to hurt you or make you bleed. I am sorry, I was just curious." + +The man says, "It's okay, I understand. You are a curious boy and you want to learn new things. But you have to be careful and ask before you touch something that belongs to someone else. Do you understand?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, I understand. I will ask next time. Can we still be friends?" + +The man says, "Of course, we can still be friends. You are a nice boy and I like your questions. Do you want to hear more of the story?" + +Tom says, "Yes, please. I want to hear more of the story." + +The man says, "Okay, then. Let me continue. The knight rode his horse to the dragon's cave and..." + +Tom listens and smiles. He likes the story and the man. He learns a new word: piercing. He also learns a new lesson: to ask before he touches. He is still curious, but he is also polite. He chews on his cookie and enjoys the story. +Tom and Lily are playful twins. They like to run, jump and laugh. They also like to draw and write notes. They have many crayons and papers. + +One day, they want to make a note for their mom. They find a big paper and some crayons. They start to draw and write. Tom draws a sun and a flower. Lily writes "I love you mom". They are happy with their note. + +They want to give the note to their mom. They run to the kitchen, where their mom is making a cake. They say "Mom, mom, look what we made for you!" They hold up the note. + +Their mom smiles and hugs them. She says "Thank you, Tom and Lily. This is a very nice note. You are very sweet and playful. I love you too." She puts the note on the fridge. + +Tom and Lily are proud and happy. They help their mom with the cake. They can't wait to eat it. They think their mom is the best. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play dress-up with their mom's clothes. One day, they find a veil in a box. It is white and long and has flowers on it. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lila says. "It is so pretty!" + +She puts the veil on her head and pretends to be a bride. She walks around the room and smiles. + +Ben watches her and has an idea. He says, "Lila, do you want to sell the veil?" + +"Sell it? Why?" Lila asks. + +"Because we can get money for it. Then we can buy candy and toys," Ben says. + +He takes the veil from Lila and runs to the door. He shouts, "Veil for sale! Veil for sale! Who wants to buy a veil?" + +Lila is angry. She runs after him and says, "Ben, stop! That is mom's veil! She will be mad if you sell it!" + +But Ben does not listen. He goes outside and sees a lady walking by. He says, "Hello, lady. Do you want to buy a veil? It is very nice and cheap." + +The lady looks at the veil and says, "No, thank you. That is an ordinary veil. It is not special. I do not want it." + +Ben is sad. He thinks the veil is special. He says, "But it has flowers on it. And it is white and long. It is not ordinary." + +The lady shakes her head and walks away. Ben feels bad. He thinks he made a mistake. He goes back inside and sees Lila. She is crying. + +He says, "Lila, I am sorry. I was wrong. The veil is not ordinary. It is special. It is mom's veil. I should not have tried to sell it." + +He gives the veil back to Lila and hugs her. He says, "Can you forgive me?" + +Lila wipes her tears and smiles. She says, "Yes, I forgive you. You are my twin. I love you." + +They put the veil back in the box and hug each other. They decide to play something else. They do not want to sell mom's clothes anymore. +Lily and Sam are twins. They like to play in the big building where they live. One day, they want to go to the roof. They walk to the elevator with their mom. + +"Can we push the button, mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. The elevator is slow and old. It might stop sometimes," mom says. + +Lily and Sam push the button with the number 10. The elevator door closes. The elevator goes up. It makes a loud noise. + +"Mom, why is the elevator so noisy?" Sam asks. + +"It is because it is old and needs to be fixed. Sometimes it stops and we have to wait," mom says. + +The elevator stops at the fifth floor. The door does not open. Lily and Sam look at mom. + +"Mom, what happened?" Lily asks. + +"The elevator stopped. Don't worry, it will start again soon. We just have to be patient," mom says. + +Lily and Sam are bored. They sit on the floor. They play with their toys. They sing a song. They wait for the elevator to start again. + +After a long time, the elevator starts again. It goes up to the tenth floor. The door opens. Lily and Sam jump up. They run to the roof. They see the sky and the birds and the trees. + +"Wow, this is so pretty!" Lily says. + +"Yes, it is. But next time, let's take the stairs. The elevator is too slow and old," Sam says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. They have a picnic on the roof. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. One day, they found a hole under a big rock. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's go in and see," Tom said. He was brave and curious. + +"No, it's dark and scary," Lily said. She was shy and careful. + +"Come on, it'll be fun," Tom said. He took a flashlight and crawled into the hole. Lily followed him, holding his hand. + +They went deeper and deeper into the underground. They saw many bugs and worms and roots. They heard strange noises and felt cold air. They were scared, but they wanted to find out what was at the end of the hole. + +Finally, they reached a big cave. It was full of shiny stones and crystals. They looked like stars in the night. Tom and Lily were amazed. They forgot their fear and ran around the cave, touching and picking the stones. + +They did not see the big bear that was sleeping in the corner. It was a lazy bear that liked to nap in the cave. It did not like visitors. It woke up and saw the twins. It growled and showed its teeth. It was angry and hungry. + +Tom and Lily heard the bear and turned around. They were terrified. They dropped their stones and ran back to the hole. The bear chased them, roaring and stomping. + +They reached the hole and crawled as fast as they could. The bear was too big to fit in the hole. It tried to reach them with its paws and claws, but it could not. It gave up and went back to sleep. + +Tom and Lily came out of the hole and ran to their house. They hugged each other and cried. They were glad they were safe. They learned a lesson. They decided to never go into the underground again. They also decided to always unite and help each other. They were twins and best friends. +Tom and Mia were friends who lived near the sea. They liked to play on the beach and look for shells and crabs. One day, they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and angry. Tom's mom said it was a hurricane and they had to go home. + +"Can we play tomorrow?" Mia asked. + +"Maybe, if the hurricane goes away," Tom said. + +They said goodbye and ran to their houses. + +The next day, the hurricane was still there. It was very loud and scary. It made the wind blow hard and the rain fall fast. Tom and Mia stayed inside and looked out the window. They saw the waves crash on the shore and the trees bend and break. They wished they could play on the beach again. + +Then, they heard a knock on the door. It was Tom's mom. She had a big smile on her face. + +"Guess what?" she said. "We have a surprise for you!" + +She opened the door and there was Mia, holding a big umbrella. She had walked over from her house with her dad. + +"Hi, Tom!" she said. "I came to play with you!" + +Tom was very happy to see Mia. He hugged her and said, "Welcome, Mia! You are very brave and useful!" + +They went to Tom's room and played with his toys. They pretended they were pirates and explorers and astronauts. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the hurricane. + +The hurricane was still there, but it didn't matter. Tom and Mia had each other. They were friends who lived near the sea. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Jen wants to try it, but Tom is nervous. He thinks the slide is too high and fast. + +"Come on, Tom, it will be fun!" Jen says. She leads him to the slide. "You can go first. I will be right behind you." + +Tom looks at the slide. He feels scared. He does not want to go. He shakes his head. "No, Jen, I can't. You go first." + +Jen smiles. She has an idea. She points to a small hill near the slide. "Look, Tom, there is a start. We can run down the hill and then go on the slide. It will be easier." + +Tom thinks about it. He likes to run. He nods. "OK, Jen, let's do it." + +They run to the hill. They hold hands. They count to three. They run down the hill. They go on the slide. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh. They reach the bottom. They are happy. + +"See, Tom, that was not so bad. That was fun!" Jen says. + +Tom agrees. He is not nervous anymore. He is proud. He hugs Jen. "Thank you, Jen. You are a good friend. Can we do it again?" +Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big rod on the ground. It is long and thin and shiny. + +"Look, a rod!" Tom says. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK!" Mia says. "What can we do with it?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea. + +"We can use it as a sword!" he says. "We can pretend to be knights and fight dragons!" + +"Yay!" Mia says. "That sounds fun!" + +They pick up the rod and start to swing it around. They make noises like swords and dragons. + +"Take that, dragon!" Tom says. "You can't get me!" + +"Roar!" Mia says. "I will breathe fire on you!" + +They run and chase each other with the rod. They are having a lot of fun. + +But then, they hear a voice. + +"Hey, kids!" the voice says. "That's my rod! Give it back!" + +They look up and see a man. He is wearing a hat and a coat. He has a bag with him. He looks angry. + +"Your rod?" Tom says. "But we found it here!" + +"It's mine!" the man says. "I use it for fishing! It was in my bag, but you took it out!" + +He walks towards them. He wants to take the rod from them. + +Tom and Mia are scared. They don't want to give the rod back. They like playing with it. + +They look around. They see a big bush. It has many leaves and flowers. It is near the pond. + +"Quick!" Tom says. "Let's hide in the bush!" + +"OK!" Mia says. + +They run to the bush. They cover themselves with the leaves and flowers. They hope the man won't see them. + +They hold the rod tight. They whisper to each other. + +"Shh!" Tom says. "Don't make any noise!" + +"OK!" Mia says. "Maybe he will go away!" + +They wait in the bush. They are quiet. They are still scared. + +But they are also happy. They have the rod. They can play with it later. + +They are friends. They stick together. +Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses. They counted how many blocks they had. Ben had ten blocks and Lily had nine blocks. + +"Look, I have more blocks than you!" Ben said. + +"No, you don't!" Lily said. "You have one block that is small. It is not a real block. It is a zero block." + +"What is a zero block?" Ben asked. + +"A zero block is a block that has nothing inside. It is empty. It is not good for building." Lily said. + +Ben looked at his small block. It had a hole in the middle. He wondered if Lily was right. He tried to put the small block on top of his tower, but it fell off. He tried to use the small block as a bridge, but it broke. He tried to make a house with the small block, but it did not fit. + +"Maybe you are right, Lily. This block is not good for anything." Ben said. + +He gave the small block to Lily. "Here, you can have it. I don't want it." + +Lily took the small block and smiled. "Thank you, Ben. I know what to do with it." + +She put the small block on her head. "Look, I have a hat!" she said. + +Ben laughed. "That is a funny hat, Lily. You look silly." + +They both laughed and played with their blocks some more. They forgot about the small block. They were having fun. + +Soon, it was time for bed. Their mom came and told them to put away their blocks and brush their teeth. They did what their mom said. They put their blocks in a box and brushed their teeth. They put on their pajamas and got into their beds. + +"Good night, Ben. Good night, Lily." their mom said. She kissed them and turned off the light. + +"Good night, mom." Ben and Lily said. + +They closed their eyes and tried to sleep. But they were not sleepy. They wanted to play some more. + +"Ben, are you awake?" Lily whispered. + +"Yes, I am awake." Ben whispered back. + +"Do you want to play with the small block?" Lily asked. + +She took the small block from under her pillow and showed it to Ben. + +Ben looked at the small block. He felt a big yawn coming. He was tired. + +"No, thank you, Lily. I don't want to play with the small block. I want to sleep." he said. + +He yawned and turned to his side. + +Lily looked at the small block. She felt a big yawn coming too. She was tired. + +"Okay, Ben. Me too. I want to sleep." she said. + +She yawned and put the small block back under her pillow. + +She turned to her side and cuddled with her teddy bear. + +They both fell asleep and dreamed of big blocks and big towers and big bridges and big houses. They were happy. +Ben and Jen are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Sometimes they share, and sometimes they fight. + +One day, Ben wants to play with the red car. But Jen has it in her hand. Ben says, "Give me the car, Jen. It is my turn." + +Jen says, "No, Ben. It is my car. You have the blue car." + +Ben says, "But I like the red car more. It is faster and cooler." + +Jen says, "Too bad. The red car is mine. You can play with the blue car or the green truck." + +Ben gets angry. He tries to grab the red car from Jen. Jen holds it tight. They pull and tug. The car makes a loud noise. It goes beep beep beep. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees Ben and Jen fighting over the car. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you making so much noise?" + +Ben and Jen stop fighting. They look at Mom. They feel ashamed. They do not reply. They know they are in trouble. + +Mom says, "You two need to learn how to share and take turns. You have many toys. You can play with different ones. Fighting is not nice. It hurts your feelings and your toys." + +She takes the red car and the blue car. She puts them on the shelf. She says, "You can have them back later, when you calm down and say sorry to each other. Now, why don't you play with the green truck and the yellow bus? They are also fun and colorful." + +Ben and Jen nod. They say sorry to each other. They hug. They take the green truck and the yellow bus. They play together nicely. They make vroom vroom sounds. They smile. Mom smiles too. She is happy. She leaves them to play. She hopes they will not fight again. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat soup for lunch. Mom made soup with carrots and noodles. She put the soup in a big pot on the stove. + +Lily and Tom waited for the soup to be ready. They sat on chairs at the table. They saw the pot on the stove. They smelled the soup. It smelled good. + +Lily had an idea. She said to Tom, "Let's get the soup now. We don't have to wait for Mom." Tom nodded. He was hungry too. They got up from their chairs. They walked to the stove. + +Lily reached for the pot. She tried to pull it to her. But the pot was heavy and hot. She could not pull it. She said to Tom, "Help me, Tom. Pull the pot with me." Tom reached for the pot too. He tried to pull it with Lily. But the pot was too heavy and hot for them. They could not pull it. + +Mom saw what they were doing. She was angry. She said, "Stop, Lily and Tom! That is very rude and dangerous. You could burn yourselves or spill the soup. You have to wait for me to serve you the soup. Go back to your chairs now." Lily and Tom let go of the pot. They felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We were hungry. We wanted the soup." Mom said, "I know, but you have to be patient and polite. The soup will be ready soon. I will give you some when it is not too hot. Now go back to your chairs and wait." Lily and Tom went back to their chairs. They waited for the soup. They learned their lesson. They did not try to pull the pot again. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big frog near the pond. They wanted to keep it as a pet, so they put it in Tim's pocket. The frog was not happy. It tried to jump out of the pocket, but Tim held it tight. + +"Let's go home and show Mom our frog," Tim said to Sam. + +They ran to their house, but on the way, they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and growling. It looked dangerous. Tim and Sam were scared. They stopped and tried to hide behind a tree. + +The dog saw them and ran towards them. It wanted to bite them. The frog felt the dog's breath and was scared too. It used all its strength and pushed Tim's pocket open. It jumped out and landed on the dog's nose. + +The dog was surprised and angry. It shook its head and tried to catch the frog. The frog hopped away as fast as it could. It escaped to the pond. + +Tim and Sam saw their chance and ran to their house. They slammed the door and locked it. They were safe. + +They looked at each other and sighed. They learned a lesson. They should not keep a frog in a pocket. It was not fair to the frog. And it could be dangerous for them. They decided to leave the frog alone and find another pet. Maybe a fish or a hamster. +Sara is a big girl. She likes to do things by herself. She is independent. She does not need help from Mom or Dad. + +One day, Sara wants to brush her hair. She finds her brush on the table. She climbs on a chair to reach it. But the chair is wobbly. Sara loses her balance. She falls off the chair. She bumps her head. She drops her brush. She cries. + +Mom hears Sara cry. She runs to her. She hugs her and kisses her head. She says, "Are you OK, Sara? What happened?" Sara tells Mom what happened. She says, "I wanted to brush my hair. I fell off the chair. I hurt my head. I lost my brush." + +Mom says, "I'm sorry, Sara. You are very brave. But you have to be careful. Chairs are not for climbing. They are for sitting. Next time, ask me or Dad for help. We can get your brush for you. We love you, Sara." + +Sara says, "I love you, Mom. I'm sorry. I will be careful. Can you help me find my brush?" Mom says, "Of course, Sara. Let's look for it together." They find the brush under the table. Sara smiles. She says, "Thank you, Mom.

She says, "I like to do things by myself. But I also like to do things with you, Mom." Mom says, "I like to do things with you, too, Sara. You are my independent and sweet girl." They hug. They laugh. They are happy. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide. Tom wants to go on the slide, but Sam is frightened. He says, "No, Tom, the slide is too high. I don't want to go." + +Tom says, "Don't be scared, Sam. The slide is fun. You can wear my vest. It is red and warm. It will make you brave." + +Sam looks at the vest. He likes the color. He says, "OK, Tom, I will try. But you have to go with me." + +Tom says, "Sure, Sam, I will go with you. We can hold hands. Come on, let's go." + +They put on the vest and walk to the slide. They climb the stairs. They see the sky and the trees. They feel the wind. They are a little nervous, but they smile at each other. They sit on the slide. They count to three. They slide down. They go fast. They feel the air. They laugh. They reach the bottom. They are happy. They hug each other. They say, "That was fun. Let's do it again." + +Their moms watch them. They are proud. They say, "Good job, boys. You are brave. You improve every day." +Lila loved to sing. She sang all day, every day. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang happy songs, sad songs, silly songs, and scary songs. She sang to her toys, her mom, her dad, and her cat. She sang so much that everyone knew her voice. + +One day, Lila went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox, and a pond. She wanted to try everything. She ran to the slide and sang a song about sliding. She slid down fast and laughed. She ran to the swing and sang a song about swinging. She swung high and low and felt the wind. She ran to the sandbox and sang a song about digging. She dug a hole and made a castle. She ran to the pond and sang a song about water. She saw ducks and fish and frogs. She was happy. + +But then, she saw something else. She saw a big net. It was on the ground, near the pond. She was curious. She walked to the net and touched it. It was soft and sticky. She wondered what it was for. She sang a song about the net. She sang, "Net, net, what are you for? Net, net, do you catch more? Net, net, are you a toy? Net, net, do you bring joy?" + +But she did not know that the net was not a toy. It was a trap. It was for catching birds. A bad man had put it there. He wanted to catch birds and sell them. He did not like birds. He did not like their songs. He hid behind a tree and waited. He heard Lila's song. He thought she was a bird. He smiled. + +He jumped out of his hiding place and ran to the net. He threw the net over Lila. He caught her. He laughed. He said, "Ha, ha, I got you, you little bird. You have a pretty voice, but you won't sing anymore. I will sell you to someone who will keep you in a cage. You will be helpless and sad." + +Lila was scared. She did not understand. She was not a bird. She was a girl. She did not want to be in a cage. She wanted to be free. She wanted to sing. She cried. She said, "Help, help, I'm not a bird. Help, help, I'm a girl. Help, help, I want to sing. Help, help, I want my mom." + +Her mom heard her cry. She ran to the pond. She saw the bad man and the net. She saw Lila under the net. She was angry. She said, "Let go of my daughter, you mean man. She is not a bird. She is a girl. She loves to sing. She is not helpless. She is brave." + +She grabbed the net and pulled it off Lila. She hugged Lila and said, "Don't worry, my sweet girl. You are safe. You are free. You can sing. I love you." + +The bad man was surprised. He did not expect a mom. He was afraid. He said, "Sorry, sorry, I made a mistake. Sorry, sorry, I will go away. Sorry, sorry, I won't catch more. Sorry, sorry, I won't bother you." + +He ran away with his net. He did not come back. He learned his lesson. + +Lila and her mom went home. They were happy. They sang a song about love. They sang, "Love, love, what are you for? Love, love, you catch more. Love, love, you are a joy. Love, love, you bring peace." +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They admired the big freezer that their mom used to store ice cream and other yummy things. Sometimes, they would sneak a peek inside and try to grab a treat when mom was not looking. + +One day, they saw a new box in the freezer that had a picture of a light blue cake with white frosting and sprinkles. It looked so delicious that they both wanted to have a slice. They decided to wait until mom was busy in the living room and then open the freezer. + +"Wow, look at the cake!" Ben said, as he pulled out the box. "It's so light and pretty!" + +"Let me see, let me see!" Lily said, as she tried to take the box from Ben. "I want to have the first slice!" + +"No, I saw it first!" Ben said, as he held on to the box. "You can have the second slice!" + +They started to tug and pull on the box, making a lot of noise. They did not notice that mom had heard them and was coming to the kitchen. + +"Ben! Lily! What are you doing?" mom said, as she saw them fighting over the box. "That's not your cake, that's for grandma's birthday tomorrow!" + +Ben and Lily stopped and looked at mom with guilty faces. They realized they had made a big mistake. They put the box back in the freezer and said sorry to mom. + +Mom was not happy, but she was also glad that they did not ruin the cake. She hugged them and said, "I know you admire the cake, but you have to wait until tomorrow. Grandma will be very happy to share it with you. Now, why don't you go and play with your toys in your room?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We love you and grandma." + +They left the kitchen and went to their room. They learned their lesson and decided to be more patient and respectful. They also hoped that the cake would taste as good as it looked. +Sara has a lovely bow in her hair. It is pink and shiny and makes her feel happy. She likes to wear it when she goes to the park with her mom and dad. + +One day, she sees a big dog at the park. The dog is brown and furry and has a rubber ball in his mouth. He runs up to Sara and wags his tail. He wants to play with her. + +Sara is not scared of the dog. She smiles and says hello. She asks the dog if she can throw his ball for him. The dog nods and drops the ball at her feet. Sara picks up the ball and throws it as far as she can. + +The dog chases the ball and brings it back to Sara. He does this again and again. Sara and the dog have fun together. They are friends. + +Sara's mom and dad watch them and smile. They are proud of Sara for being brave and kind. They call her over and give her a hug. They tell her it is time to go home. + +Sara says goodbye to the dog. She gives him a pat and a kiss. The dog licks her face and barks. He thanks her for playing with him. He gives her his ball as a gift. + +Sara is very happy. She says thank you to the dog. She puts the ball in her pocket and the bow in her hair. She holds her mom and dad's hands and walks home. She has had a lovely day. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but Tom always wanted the best ones. He was selfish and did not like to share. Lily was kind and let him have what he wanted, but she felt sad. + +One day, they found a big box in the garage. Tom said, "This is mine! I will make a fort and you can't come in!" He pushed Lily away and climbed into the box. He closed the flap and laughed. Lily said, "Please, Tom, let me play with you. It will be more fun." But Tom said, "No! Go away! This is my fort!" + +Lily felt lonely and went to find their mom. She told her what Tom did and asked if she could help. Mom said, "That's not nice of Tom. He should learn to share and be nice to his sister. I have an idea. Let's scare him a little and teach him a lesson." + +Mom and Lily went back to the garage. They saw the box where Tom was hiding. Mom said, "Lily, you knock on the box and say, 'Who is in there? I am a big monster and I will eat you!'" Lily nodded and did what Mom said. She knocked on the box and said, "Who is in there? I am a big monster and I will eat you!" + +Tom heard the knock and the voice. He was scared. He thought there was a real monster outside. He said, "Help! Help! Go away, monster! Leave me alone!" He tried to open the flap, but it was stuck. He cried and wished Lily was there. + +Mom and Lily heard Tom cry. They felt sorry for him. They opened the flap and said, "Surprise! It's us! We are not monsters. We are your mom and sister. We wanted to scare you a little because you were selfish and mean to Lily. Do you understand?" + +Tom saw Mom and Lily. He was relieved and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I was selfish and mean. I should have shared and played with you. Can you forgive me?" Mom and Lily hugged him and said, "Of course we forgive you. We love you, Tom. But you have to promise to be nice and share from now on." Tom nodded and said, "I promise. I love you, Mom. I love you, Lily. Can we play together in the fort?" Mom and Lily smiled and said, "Yes, we can. That will be fun." They all climbed into the box and played happily. Tom learned his lesson and was not selfish anymore. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play games together. Sometimes they play house, sometimes they play doctor, sometimes they play school. They have fun and share their toys. + +One day, they decide to play marry. They find a white dress and a suit in the dress-up box. They put them on and pretend to be a bride and a groom. They walk to the garden and find a flower for Anna's hair. They ask their teddy bears to be their guests. + +They stand under a big tree and say, "I do". They hug and kiss and throw confetti. They are very happy. They say they will love each other forever and ever. + +But then, Anna sees a swing. She loves swings. She wants to go on the swing and feel the wind in her hair. She tells Ben, "I want to swing now". + +Ben says, "But we are married. We have to stay together". + +Anna says, "No, we don't. We can do different things. I am independent. I can swing by myself". + +Ben says, "But I want to swing with you". + +Anna says, "You can swing later. Or you can play something else. I don't mind". + +Ben feels sad. He doesn't want to play something else. He wants to play with Anna. He thinks Anna doesn't love him anymore. + +He takes off his suit and throws it on the ground. He says, "I don't want to be married to you. You are mean". + +Anna feels surprised. She doesn't think she is mean. She just wants to swing. She likes Ben. She still loves him. + +She takes off her dress and puts it on the ground. She says, "I don't want to be married to you either. You are bossy". + +They turn away from each other and walk to different parts of the garden. They don't talk to each other. They don't play with each other. They are very lonely. +Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw an elderly man sitting on a bench. He had a big bag of bread and many birds around him. + +"Hello, sir," Tom said. "What are you doing?" + +"I am feeding the birds," the man said. "They are hungry and they like bread. Do you want to help me?" + +"Yes, please," Sue said. "We like birds, too." + +The man gave them some bread and showed them how to break it into small pieces. The twins threw the bread to the birds and watched them eat. The birds made happy noises and flew around. + +"Look, Tom," Sue said. "Some of the birds are marching. They are walking in a line." + +"That's funny," Tom said. "They look like soldiers." + +The man smiled and said, "They are not soldiers, they are geese. They are getting ready to fly away to a warmer place. They march to stay together and to find their leader." + +"Wow," the twins said. "That's amazing. Can we go with them?" + +The man laughed and said, "No, you can't. You have to stay here with your family. But you can wave goodbye to them and wish them a good journey." + +The twins nodded and waved to the geese. They saw them flap their wings and lift off the ground. They heard them honk and form a V shape in the sky. + +"Bye, bye, geese," the twins said. "Have fun in the warm place." + +The man said, "Bye, bye, twins. Have fun in the park. And thank you for helping me feed the birds." + +The twins said, "You're welcome, sir. And thank you for teaching us about the geese." + +They hugged the man and ran back to their mother, who was waiting for them. They told her about the birds and the bread and the march and the flight. They said they had a wonderful time and learned something new. They said they hoped to see the man and the birds again. +Lily was a spoiled girl who always wanted to have her way. She did not like to share her toys, listen to her teacher, or help her friends. She always cried and shouted when she did not get what she wanted. + +One day, her class went to the park for a picnic. Lily brought her favorite doll and did not let anyone else play with it. She said it was too pretty and special for anyone else to touch. She also took the biggest sandwich and the most cookies from the basket and did not leave any for the others. + +The other children were sad and angry with Lily. They did not want to be her friends anymore. They played with each other and had fun, while Lily sat alone with her doll and her food. + +Then, a big dog came running to the park. It saw Lily's doll and thought it was a toy. It ran towards Lily and grabbed the doll with its teeth. Lily screamed and tried to get her doll back, but the dog was too strong and fast. It ran away with the doll and tore it to pieces. + +Lily was very upset and cried. She looked for her teacher and her classmates, but they were far away and did not hear her. She felt scared and lonely. + +Finally, she saw Ben, a boy from her class, who was looking for his ball. He saw Lily crying and asked her what was wrong. Lily told him what happened with the dog and her doll. Ben felt sorry for her and said, "That's too bad. I'm sorry you lost your doll. Do you want to play with me and my ball?" + +Lily was surprised. She remembered that she had been mean to Ben and had not shared her toys with him. She did not think he would want to be nice to her. She said, "But I was not nice to you. Why do you want to play with me?" + +Ben said, "Because I don't like to see you sad. And because I want to be your friend. Friends help each other and share things. It's more fun that way. Come on, let's go and join the others. Maybe they have some extra food for you too." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She felt ashamed of how she had acted before. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. I'm sorry I was spoiled. I want to be your friend too. And I want to share and be nice to everyone." + +Ben and Lily held hands and ran to the others. The teacher and the children welcomed them and gave them some food and drinks. They all played and laughed together. Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that being spoiled does not make you happy, but being generous and friendly does. She learned to manage her feelings and to be a good friend. She was happy. +Tom and Anna liked to play in the park. They had a ball, a bike and a doll. They had fun with their toys. But one day, a thief came to the park. He was a big and mean man. He saw Tom and Anna's toys and wanted them. + +He ran to them and grabbed the ball. He said, "This is mine now!" He laughed and ran away. Tom and Anna were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They shouted, "Stop! Give us our ball!" + +The thief did not stop. He saw a bike near a bench. It was an ancient bike. It was old and rusty. But the thief did not care. He said, "This is mine too!" He threw the ball away and took the bike. He laughed and rode away. The bike belonged to an old lady. She was sitting on the bench. She was shocked and scared. She said, "Help! He stole my bike!" + +The thief did not care. He saw a doll on a swing. It was a pretty doll. It had a pink dress and a yellow bow. But the thief did not care. He said, "This is mine as well!" He dropped the bike and snatched the doll. He laughed and ran away. The doll belonged to Anna. She was swinging on the swing. She was hurt and sad. She said, "No! He took my doll!" + +The thief did not care. He ran to the gate of the park. He wanted to leave with his new toys. But he did not see a policeman. The policeman was standing by the gate. He saw the thief and his toys. He said, "Stop! You are a thief! You took these toys from the children and the old lady!" + +The thief was scared. He tried to run away. But the policeman was faster. He caught the thief and put him in his car. He said, "You are going to jail. You should regret what you did. You made the children and the old lady cry. You should be sorry." + +The thief was sorry. He regretted what he did. He wished he did not take the toys. He wished he was nice and kind. He said, "I am sorry. I was wrong. Please give the toys back to the children and the old lady." + +The policeman nodded. He drove back to the park. He gave the ball to Tom, the bike to the old lady and the doll to Anna. He said, "Here are your toys. I am sorry for what happened. The thief is sorry too. He learned his lesson." + +Tom, Anna and the old lady were happy. They thanked the policeman. They hugged their toys. They said, "Thank you. You are a hero. You saved our toys." + +The policeman smiled. He said, "You are welcome. I am glad you are happy. You are good children and a good lady. You deserve your toys." + +The end. +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to drive them on the floor and make noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +One day, Lily saw a shiny red car that Sam had. She wanted it very much. She said to Sam, "Can I have your red car? It is so pretty and fast. I will give you my blue car. It is also good." + +Sam looked at his red car and then at Lily's blue car. He liked his red car more. He said to Lily, "No, I don't want to trade. My red car is my favorite. You can play with another car." + +Lily was sad and angry. She tried to grab the red car from Sam. Sam held it tight and shouted, "No, Lily, stop! It is mine!" + +They started to fight and pull the car. They did not see their elderly grandpa coming into the room. He heard them and said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over a toy car?" + +Lily and Sam stopped and looked at their grandpa. They felt ashamed. They said, "Sorry, grandpa. We both wanted the red car." + +Grandpa smiled and said, "I have an idea. Why don't you take turns with the red car? You can each play with it for a while and then switch. That way, you can both enjoy it and share it." + +Lily and Sam thought that was a good idea. They said, "Thank you, grandpa. You are very wise and kind." + +Grandpa said, "You are welcome, my dear children. Now, let me see your cars. They look very fun. Can I drive one with you?" +Lily and Ben were playing with a big ball in the park. They liked to kick the ball and run after it. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, a mean dog came and took the ball in his mouth. He ran away with it. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. + +"Hey, give us our ball!" Ben shouted at the dog. He chased the dog, but the dog was faster. The dog ran to a tree and hid behind it. + +Lily followed Ben. She saw the dog behind the tree. She had an idea. She saw a rope on the ground. She picked it up and made a knot. She threw the rope over the tree and pulled it. + +The rope caught the dog's tail. The dog yelped and dropped the ball. He tried to get free, but the knot was tight. He suffered. + +Lily and Ben got their ball back. They were happy. They ran away from the dog. + +"Good job, Lily!" Ben said. "You are very smart and brave." + +"Thank you, Ben!" Lily said. "You are very friendly and strong." + +They hugged and continued to play with their ball. They hoped the dog would learn to be nice. +Lila and her mom were going to visit grandma. They had a big bag with clothes and toys. Mom said they had to take a taxi to the train station. Lila liked taxis. They were yellow and fast and had a funny sign on top. + +They went outside and waited for a taxi. Lila saw one coming. She waved her hand and shouted, "Taxi, taxi!" The taxi stopped and the driver opened the door. He had a big smile and a hat. + +"Hello, little lady. Where are you going?" he asked. + +"We are going to the train station, please," mom said. She gave him a paper with the address. + +"OK, hop in. I'll carry your bag for you," he said. He lifted the bag and put it in the trunk. It was very heavy. He made a grunting sound. + +Lila and mom got in the taxi. Lila sat by the window. She saw many things: cars, buses, bikes, people, dogs, trees, shops, lights. She pointed and named them. Mom smiled and nodded. + +The taxi drove fast and honked sometimes. Lila liked the honking. It sounded like a duck. She honked back with her mouth. The driver laughed. + +"Are you having fun, little lady?" he asked. + +"Yes, I am. Thank you for carrying our bag. It is enormous," Lila said. + +"You're welcome. It is enormous, indeed. But you are very polite and sweet. I like you," he said. + +Lila smiled and said, "I like you, too. You are a nice taxi driver." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big egg in the garden. They wondered what was inside the egg. + +"Maybe it is a bird," Lily said. + +"Maybe it is a dinosaur," Ben said. + +They decided to take the egg home and put it in a warm place. They hoped the egg would hatch soon. + +The next day, they heard a crack from the egg. They ran to see what came out. It was a baby duck. The duck was yellow and fluffy. It looked at them with its big eyes. + +"Quack, quack," the duck said. + +"Hello, little duck," Lily said. "We are Lily and Ben. We found you in the garden. Do you have a name?" + +The duck did not answer. It just quacked again. + +"Maybe it is deaf," Ben said. "Maybe it cannot hear us." + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They wanted to talk to the duck and be its friends. They tried to make signs with their hands and feet, but the duck did not understand. It just followed them around and quacked. + +They decided to ask their mom for help. They told her about the duck and how they found it in the garden. They asked her if the duck was deaf and how they could communicate with it. + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She told them that the duck was not deaf, but it spoke a different language. She said that ducks speak with quacks, not with words. She said that if they wanted to be friends with the duck, they had to learn its language and respect its differences. + +Lily and Ben felt happy. They realized that the duck was not deaf, but special. They decided to learn how to quack and listen to the duck. They named the duck Quacky and gave it some water and bread. They played with Quacky and learned from it. They became the best friends ever. + +The moral of the story is: Don't judge someone by their appearance or sound. Everyone has their own way of speaking and expressing themselves. Be kind and curious and you will find friendship in unexpected places. +Tim and Sue were twins who liked to march. They marched to school, they marched to the park, they marched to the store. They liked to march because it made them feel big and strong. They also liked to chew gum, but their mom said they could only have one piece a day. + +One day, they saw a rich man in a big car. He had a lot of gum in his hand. He threw the gum out of the window and drove away. Tim and Sue ran to the gum and picked it up. They were very happy. They had more gum than they ever had before. + +They decided to march home with their gum. They put all the gum in their mouths and chewed and chewed. They blew big bubbles and popped them. They laughed and sang. They did not see the sign that said "Wet Paint". + +They marched right into a wall that was wet with paint. The paint stuck to their gum and their faces. They tried to pull the gum off, but it was too sticky. They looked at each other and cried. They had paint and gum all over them. + +Their mom saw them and was very angry. She took them to the bathroom and washed them. She threw away their gum and gave them a time out. She said they were naughty and greedy. They had to learn to share and to be careful. + +Tim and Sue felt very sorry. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never marched to the rich man's gum again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they have a new game. It is a puzzle with many pieces.

They are fun and new." +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big stick on the ground. Tom picked it up and said, "Look, I have a spear. I can hunt animals with it." + +Lila did not like Tom's idea. She said, "No, Tom, that is not a good game. You can hurt yourself or others with the stick. And animals are our friends, not our food. Put the stick down, please." + +But Tom did not listen to Lila. He said, "No, Lila, you are wrong. This is a fun game. I want to play with the spear. You can be the animal and I can chase you." + +Lila felt uncomfortable. She did not want to be the animal. She did not want to run away from Tom. She did not want to see him with the stick. She said, "No, Tom, I do not want to play this game. It is not nice. It is not safe. It is not fun. Let's play something else." + +But Tom insisted. He said, "No, Lila, you have to play this game. It is my game. It is my spear. You have to do what I say." + +Tom ran after Lila with the stick. Lila ran away from Tom. She was scared and sad. She cried for help. + +A man saw them and came to them. He took the stick from Tom and said, "What are you doing, young man? This is not a toy. This is a dangerous weapon. You could have hurt yourself or your friend. Why did you not listen to her? She was right. You were wrong." + +Tom felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry, Lila. I was not a good friend. I was not a good listener. I was not a good player. I did not think about your feelings or your safety. I only thought about myself. I was selfish and foolish. Please forgive me." + +Lila was still scared and sad. But she was also kind and forgiving. She said, "I forgive you, Tom. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me you will never play with sticks or spears again. You have to promise me you will always listen to me and respect me. You have to promise me you will always be a good friend, a good listener, and a good player." + +Tom nodded. He said, "I promise, Lila. I promise. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for teaching me a lesson. Thank you for forgiving me." + +The man smiled. He said, "You are welcome, children. You have learned a valuable lesson today. You have learned that playing with sticks or spears is not fun, but dangerous. You have learned that listening to your friends and respecting their feelings is important. You have learned that being a good friend, a good listener, and a good player is better than being selfish and foolish. You have learned that saying sorry and forgiving are signs of maturity and kindness. I hope you will remember this lesson and apply it in your future games and relationships." + +Lila and Tom hugged each other. They said, "We will, sir. We will. Thank you for helping us. Thank you for being wise and kind." + +The man said, "You are welcome, children. Now, go and play something else. Something nice, safe, and fun. Something that will make you happy and proud. Something that will show your friendship and love." + +Lila and Tom said, "We will, sir. We will." And they ran away to play something else. Something nice, safe, and fun. Something that made them happy and proud. Something that showed their friendship and love. +Lily and her mom went to the market to buy some food. Lily liked the market. She saw many fruits and vegetables of different colors. She also saw some fish and meat and bread. She helped her mom put the food in a big bag. + +"Can we go to the store now, mom?" Lily asked. She wanted to go to the store because it had many toys and books and games. She liked to look at them and sometimes her mom let her choose one. + +"Sure, honey, we can go to the store. But we have to be careful and hold hands. The market is very busy and there are many people and cars," her mom said. + +They walked to the store, holding hands. Lily saw a big red car with a loud horn. She saw a man with a funny hat and a dog. She saw a woman with a lot of balloons. She smiled and pointed at them. + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was a fire truck with a siren and a flashing light. It was coming very fast. Lily was scared. She did not like the noise. She squeezed her mom's hand and hid behind her. + +"It's okay, Lily, don't be scared. The fire truck is going to help someone. It will pass soon. Look, it's gone now. Do you feel better?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded. She felt better. She was not scared anymore. She looked up and saw the store. She saw the toys and books and games.

She held the plane in her hand and ran around the room, making zooming noises. She pretended the plane was soaring over mountains, oceans and clouds. She had a lot of fun. + +But then, she saw something shiny and white in the corner. It was the refrigerator. Lily thought, "Maybe the plane can soar on the refrigerator. It looks like a big hill." She ran towards the refrigerator and threw the plane in the air. She hoped it would land on the top. + +But the plane did not land on the top. It hit the door of the refrigerator and fell to the floor. It made a loud bang and a crack. The door of the refrigerator opened and some food fell out. Lily gasped and said, "Oh no! I broke the plane and the refrigerator!" + +Dad heard the noise and came to see what happened. He saw the mess and said, "Lily, what did you do?" + +Lily felt sorry and scared. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted the plane to soar on the refrigerator, but it didn't work. I didn't mean to break anything." + +Dad sighed and said, "Lily, you know you can't throw things at the refrigerator. It's not a hill, it's a machine. It keeps our food cold and fresh. And your plane is not a real plane, it's a toy. It can't fly by itself. You have to be gentle and careful with your toys and the things in the house." + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, dad. I'm sorry. Can you fix the plane and the refrigerator?" + +Dad said, "I'll try, Lily. But you have to help me clean up the mess. And next time, if you want to make your plane soar, use your imagination. Or go outside and play in the park. There's plenty of space and air for your plane to soar there." + +Lily said, "OK, dad. I will do that. Thank you for being nice to me." + +Dad hugged Lily and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you. And I like your plane. It's very pretty." + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, dad. And I like your bald head. It's very shiny." +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the snow. One day, they decided to build a snowman in their backyard. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They gave the snowman a carrot nose, a hat, a scarf, and two buttons for eyes. + +"Look, our snowman is so happy!" Sara said. + +"Yes, he is! But he might get cold at night. Maybe we should give him a warm place to sleep," Ben said. + +They looked around and saw a chimney on their roof. They thought it was a good idea to put the snowman near the chimney, so he could feel the heat from the fire inside the house. + +They carried the snowman to the front yard and lifted him up with a ladder. They placed him next to the chimney and smiled. + +"There, now he will be cozy and warm!" Ben said. + +They went back inside and had some hot chocolate with their mom. They told her about their snowman and how they made him a bed by the chimney. + +"That was very kind of you, but you should be careful with the chimney. It can be very hot and dangerous," their mom said. + +They nodded and said they would not touch the chimney. + +The next morning, they ran outside to see their snowman. But they were shocked to find that he was gone. All that was left was a puddle of water, a carrot, a hat, a scarf, and two buttons. + +"What happened to our snowman?" Sara cried. + +"I think he melted from the chimney. It was too hot for him," Ben said. + +They felt very sad and sorry for their snowman. They realized that they made a mistake by putting him near the chimney. They wished they had left him in the backyard, where he was happy and safe. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that sometimes, what seems like a good idea can be a bad one. They learned that they should think before they act, and listen to their mom's advice. They learned that they should be careful with the chimney, and respect the snowman's needs. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls with different dresses and hair. She liked to make them talk and hug and dance. But her mother did not like Lily's dolls. She said they were too messy and noisy. She wanted Lily to quit playing with them and do other things. + +One day, mother came into Lily's room. She saw Lily playing with her dolls on the floor. She was angry. She said, "Lily, quit playing with these dolls! They are dirty and old. You need to throw them away and play with something else. Here, take this book and learn some words." + +Lily did not want to quit playing with her dolls. She loved her dolls. She said, "No, mother, I don't want to quit. I don't want to throw them away. I don't want to read. I want to play with my dolls. They are my friends. Please, let me play with them." + +Mother did not listen to Lily. She was tall and strong. She grabbed Lily's dolls and put them in a big bag. She said, "No, Lily, you have to quit. You are too old for these dolls. You have to grow up and be smart. I am taking these dolls to the trash. You will never see them again." + +Lily was sad and scared. She cried and screamed. She tried to stop mother. She said, "No, mother, no! Don't take my dolls! Don't throw them away! Don't make me quit! I love my dolls! I need my dolls! Please, mother, please!" + +But mother did not care. She took the bag and left the room. She went to the trash and threw the bag inside. She did not look back. She did not hear Lily's cries. She did not see Lily's tears. She did not feel Lily's pain. She only thought she was right. She only wanted Lily to quit. +Ben liked to play with his red cap. He wore it every day, even when it was hot or cold. He liked how it made him look like a fireman or a superhero. He never let anyone else touch his cap, not even his mom or dad. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide and ran to it. He wanted to go down fast and have fun. He put his cap on the bench next to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He looked down and saw his mom smiling at him. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom!" he shouted. He slid down the slide and felt the wind in his hair. He laughed and got up. He ran to the bench to get his cap. But his cap was not there. It was gone. He looked around and saw a boy with a blue shirt and a bike. The boy had his cap on his head. He was riding away. + +"Hey, that's my cap!" Ben yelled. He ran after the boy, but he was too fast. He disappeared behind a tree. Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted his cap back. He went to his mom and told her what happened. + +"Oh, Ben, I'm sorry. That was not nice of that boy. Maybe we can find him and get your cap back. Or maybe we can buy you a new one. Do you want to look for him or go home?" she asked. + +Ben thought for a moment. He remembered what his dad told him once. He said that wise people don't fight over things. They share and forgive. He said that things can be lost or broken, but friends are more important. Ben decided to be wise. He said to his mom: + +"Let's go home, mom. I don't need my cap. I have you and dad and my friends. Maybe the boy needed the cap more than me. Maybe he will be happy with it. Maybe he will be my friend someday." He smiled and hugged his mom. + +She hugged him back and said: "You are very wise, Ben. I'm proud of you. You are my superhero." They walked home together, holding hands. Ben felt happy again. He knew he could always get another cap, but he could never get another mom. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, jump, slide and swing. They had a lot of fun. + +But then the sky became dark and the wind became cold. Mom said, "It's time to go home, kids. It's going to rain soon. Put on your coats and let's march to the car." + +Ben and Lily did not want to go home. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, mom. We are not tired. We want to stay." + +Mom said, "I know, but it's not safe to play in the rain. You will get wet and sick. Come on, be brave and march with me. We can play again tomorrow." + +Ben and Lily sighed. They put on their coats and held mom's hand. They started to march to the car. But they were very slow and sad. They dragged their feet and looked back at the park. + +Mom smiled and said, "I have a surprise for you. When we get home, we can have hot chocolate and cookies. And we can read your favorite book. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily perked up. They liked hot chocolate and cookies. They liked their favorite book. They said, "OK, mom. That sounds good. We will march faster." + +They marched faster and happier to the car. They got in and buckled up. Mom drove them home. They had hot chocolate and cookies. They read their favorite book. They cuddled with mom. They were not tired anymore. They were cozy and warm. They said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Ben and Lily. You are my brave and sweet kids." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big, shiny knife on the table. Tom wanted to cut something with the knife. He said to Lily, "Look, I can cut this apple with the knife. It is fun!" + +Lily was scared. She said to Tom, "No, Tom, do not cut with the knife. The knife is not for playing. The knife can cut your skin and make you bleed. It can hurt you a lot. Put the knife down, please." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He said, "You are silly, Lily. The knife is harmless. It will not cut me. I am careful. Watch me cut this flower." He picked up the knife and tried to cut the flower. But he was not careful. He cut his finger instead. He cried out loud. He dropped the knife and the flower. He saw blood on his skin. He felt pain. + +Lily ran to Tom. She said, "Oh, Tom, I am sorry. You cut your skin with the knife. You need a band-aid. Come, I will help you." She took Tom to the house. She asked their mom for a band-aid. She put the band-aid on Tom's finger. She gave him a hug. She said, "I hope you feel better, Tom. Next time, do not play with the knife. The knife is not a toy. The knife is dangerous. Listen to me, please." + +Tom said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. You are right. The knife is not a toy. The knife is dangerous. I will not play with the knife again. I will listen to you, please." He hugged Lily back. He learned his lesson. He was sorry for being naughty. He was glad that Lily was kind. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, it rained a lot and there were many puddles on the ground. Tom and Sam wanted to jump in the puddles and make a splash. + +They found a big puddle that was white and shiny. It looked like milk. Tom said, "This is my puddle. You can't jump in it." Sam said, "No, it's our puddle. We can share it." Tom said, "No, it's mine. Go away." Sam said, "No, it's ours. Let's play together." + +They started to argue and push each other. They were not nice to each other. They did not see the big dog that was coming near them. The dog was thirsty and saw the white puddle. He thought it was milk. He ran to the puddle and drank it. He also splashed it with his paws. + +Tom and Sam were shocked and scared. They saw the dog drink their puddle and make it dirty. They also saw that the puddle was not milk. It was paint. Someone had spilled paint on the ground and it had mixed with the water. The paint was bad for the dog and made him sick. He started to cough and whimper. + +Tom and Sam felt sorry for the dog and for themselves. They realized that they had been greedy and foolish. They had fought over something that was not good. They had wasted their time and hurt their feelings. They had also harmed the dog. They wished they had shared the puddle and played nicely. + +They ran to the dog and tried to help him.

They also petted the dog and said sorry. They hoped the dog would be okay. They learned that sharing is better than splitting and that white puddles are not always milk. They decided to be good brothers and good friends to the dog. +Anna and Ben were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma kept there. They found a big box full of clothes and hats and shoes. They decided to play dress-up. + +"Look, Ben, I found a pretty dress!" Anna said. She pulled out a pink dress with lace and pearls. It was very dusty, but Anna did not mind. She put it on over her clothes and twirled around. + +"You look like a princess, Anna!" Ben said. He looked for something to wear too.

Lila said. + +They took off their shoes and socks and started to climb the tree. They used their hands and feet to hold on to the bark and the leaves. They went higher and higher until they reached the top. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. He pointed to a hidden nest with three blue eggs inside. "They are so pretty. I wonder who lives here." + +"Shh, Tom. Don't touch them. They belong to the mommy bird. She will be angry if we disturb them." Lila said. + +They looked at the eggs for a while. Then they saw something else. A bottle of ink was hanging from a branch. It had a string and a feather attached to it. + +"What is that?" Lila asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone left it here. Maybe they wanted to write something on the leaves." Tom said. + +He reached for the bottle of ink. He wanted to try it. But he was not careful. He pulled too hard and the bottle fell down. The ink spilled all over the leaves and the eggs. + +"Oh no, Tom! Look what you did!" Lila said. + +They heard a loud squawk. The mommy bird was coming back. She saw her nest covered in ink. She was very angry. She flew towards Tom and Lila. + +"Run, Lila, run!" Tom said. + +They climbed down the tree as fast as they could. They put on their shoes and socks and ran away.

What do you want to do?" + +Ben and Mia think for a moment. They are still upset, but they don't want to be sad all day. They say, "Maybe we can slide and swing and run. That is fun, too.

I love you, kids." + +Ben and Mia smile and say, "We love you, too, mom." + +They go and play in the park. They slide, swing and run. They have fun, even without the zip line.

We can play with them," Lily said. She was persistent. She did not listen to Tom. She grabbed a doll and a car. + +Tom felt bad. He wanted to play with the toys too, but he also wanted to be good. He thought they should ask first. He tried to stop Lily. + +"Lily, stop! We should not take these toys. They are not ours. Maybe someone will come and be angry," Tom said. + +"No, they will not.

The bear caught Lily and bit her. + +Tom screamed. He wanted to help Lily, but he could not. He ran to his mom and cried. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw some red and yellow flowers. Lily wanted to pick them and make a crown. Ben wanted to drink some water. He was thirsty. + +"Can I pick some flowers, please?" Lily asked Ben. + +"OK, but only a few. And be careful of the bees," Ben said. + +Lily nodded and ran to the flowers. She picked one red and one yellow. She smelled them. They were sweet. She saw a bee on another flower. She did not touch it. She was not scared, but she was compassionate. She knew the bee needed the flower too. + +Ben found a bottle of water on the table.

He said they would be fine, but they had to be careful with sharp things. + +Mom hugged them and said she was sorry. She said she did not know the razor was real, and she should have checked the box. She said they should not play with razors, even fake ones, because they could hurt themselves or others. + +Tim and Sam said they were sorry too. They said they did not know the razor was real, and they just wanted to be like dad. They said they would not play with razors again, ever. + +Dad came home and saw them with band-aids on their faces. He asked them what happened, and they told him the whole story.

He heard Tim scream. + +Sam ran to get help. He found a grown-up who worked in the park. He told him about the hole and Tim. + +"Please, help my brother!" Sam said. + +The grown-up followed Sam to the hole. He had a flashlight and a rope. He shone the light into the hole. He saw something that made him gasp. + +There was a skeleton in the hole. It was old and dusty. It had a hat and a coat. It looked like a pirate. + +And next to the skeleton, there was Tim. He was scared and hurt. He had fallen on a sharp bone. He had blood on his leg. + +The grown-up threw the rope to Tim. He helped him climb out of the hole. He wrapped his leg with a cloth. He hugged him and said: + +"You are lucky to be alive, boy. You should not have gone into the hole. It was dangerous and foolish. You should have listened to your brother. He was smart and wise." + +Tim nodded. He was sorry and ashamed. He looked at Sam and said: + +"Thank you, Sam. You saved me. You are a good brother. I'm sorry I did not believe you. I will never go into a hole again." + +Sam smiled. He was happy and proud. He hugged Tim and said: + +"You're welcome, Tim. I'm glad you are okay. You are a good brother too. I will always believe you. I love you." + +The end. +Tom and Mia were best friends.

She liked to put it on her head and pretend she was a queen. + +One day, she heard a loud noise outside. She looked out the window and saw a big dragon. The dragon was angry and breathed fire. It wanted to take her crown. + +Lily was scared and ran to her room. She hid under her bed with her crown. She hoped the dragon would not find her. + +But the dragon smelled her crown. It came to her door and knocked hard. It said, "Give me your crown, little princess. It is mine now." + +Lily did not want to give her crown. She loved her crown. She said, "No, dragon. Go away. This is my crown. You cannot have it." + +The dragon was more angry. It broke the door and entered the room. It looked under the bed and saw Lily and her crown. It reached out its claw to grab them. + +But then, Lily heard another noise. It was her father, the king. He came with his sword and his horse. He was very brave and strong. He said, "Stop, dragon. Leave my daughter and her crown alone. You are not welcome here." + +The dragon was afraid of the king. It knew he was powerful and could hurt it. It let go of Lily and her crown and ran away. It was very slow and clumsy. + +Lily was happy and relieved. She hugged her father and thanked him. He hugged her back and said, "You are welcome, my dear. I am proud of you. You were very brave and smart. You did not give up your crown." + +He put the crown back on her head and said, "This is your crown, Lily. You are a true princess. And I love you very much." +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big basketball that they could bounce and throw. Sometimes they played with other kids, and sometimes they played by themselves. + +One day, they saw some flowers that were blooming in the garden. They were pink and yellow and purple and smelled nice. Lily and Ben wanted to pick some flowers and make a bouquet. They looked for something to put the flowers in, but they could not find anything. + +"Maybe we can use the basketball," Lily said. "It is empty inside." + +Ben thought that was a good idea. He used a knife to cut a hole in the basketball. Then he and Lily filled it with flowers. They were very happy with their bouquet. + +They decided to give it to their teacher, Miss Lee, who was very nice to them. They carried the basketball with flowers to the school. Miss Lee was surprised and happy when she saw them. + +"Wow, what a beautiful and creative gift!" she said. "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are very kind and clever. Where did you get this idea?" + +Lily and Ben smiled and told her how they used the basketball. Miss Lee hugged them and put the basketball with flowers on her desk. She said it was the best bouquet she ever had. Lily and Ben felt proud and happy. They liked to make things bloom. +Lily likes to draw pictures for her grandma. She draws flowers and hearts and smiles. She puts her pictures in an envelope and writes "I love you" on it. She asks her mom to mail the envelope to grandma. + +Mom says yes and takes the envelope. She puts it in her purse and goes to the car. She drives to the store to buy some milk and eggs. She forgets about the envelope in her purse. + +At the store, mom sees a man with a big bag.

She calls the police and tells them what happened. She hopes they can find the man and get her purse back. She thinks about Lily's envelope and feels sorry. She knows grandma will be sad too. + +Lily waits at home for mom to come back. She is happy and proud of her pictures. She thinks grandma will like them very much. She does not know that her envelope is gone. She does not know that she will never see it again. She does not know that the man with the big bag will throw it in the trash. She does not know that her mom will cry and hug her and say she is sorry. She does not know that this is a bad day. +Lily loved to dance. She danced in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She danced with her dolls, her teddy, and her mom. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. + +One day, Lily went to a party with her mom. There were many kids there, and they played games, ate cake, and sang songs. Lily wanted to dance, but she was shy. She saw the other kids dancing, and they looked so good. They knew how to spin, jump, and twist. Lily felt clumsy. She thought she could not dance like them. + +Then, a nice boy came to Lily and asked her to dance. He said his name was Ben, and he liked her dress. Lily smiled, but she was scared. She said she did not know how to dance. Ben said he did not know either. He said they could learn together. He said they could make up their own dance. He said it would be fun. + +Lily agreed to dance with Ben. They held hands and moved to the music. They did not care what the other kids did. They made their own dance. They spun, jumped, and twisted. They also hopped, skipped, and slid. They laughed and had fun. They did not feel clumsy. They felt happy. + +Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that she did not have to be like the other kids. She learned that she could be herself. She learned that she could dance in her own way. She learned that dancing was not a spell. It was a joy. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a shiny thing in the grass. It was a crystal. Sara wanted to have it. She ran to the crystal and grabbed it. + +"Look, Ben, I found a crystal!" Sara said. She held it up to the sun. It made pretty colors. + +Ben was sad. He wanted to see the crystal too. He asked Sara, "Can I hold it, please?" + +Sara shook her head. "No, it is mine. I found it first. Go find your own crystal." + +Ben felt angry. He thought Sara was not nice. He tried to grab the crystal from Sara. They both pulled hard. The crystal broke in two. + +Sara and Ben gasped. They looked at the broken pieces. They felt ashamed. They had ruined the crystal. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was their mom. She had seen what happened. + +"What did you do, Sara and Ben?" she asked. She sounded upset. + +Sara and Ben lowered their heads. They did not know what to say. They were sorry. They wished they had shared the crystal. +Lila likes to follow fish. She has a big bowl with many fish in her room. Every day, she feeds them and watches them swim. She knows their names and colors. She likes to talk to them and make them happy. + +One day, Lila sees a new fish in the bowl. It is big and black and has a long tail. It looks serious and does not swim with the other fish. Lila wants to be its friend. She says hello and tells it her name. But the new fish does not answer. It just stares at her with big eyes. + +Lila feels sad. She thinks the new fish does not like her. She tries to make it smile. She sings a song and shows it her toys. She gives it some food and makes bubbles with her mouth. But the new fish does not care. It just swims away and hides behind a plant. + +Lila does not give up. She thinks maybe the new fish is shy and needs some time. She decides to follow it and see what it likes. She watches it closely and learns its habits. She sees that it likes to chase the snails and nibble the rocks. She sees that it likes to sleep in the dark and wake up early. She sees that it likes to be alone and quiet. + +Lila understands. She realizes that the new fish is different from the other fish and from her. She respects its space and does not bother it. She still says hello and good night, but she does not expect anything back. She just follows it with her eyes and admires its beauty. + +One day, something amazing happens. The new fish swims up to Lila and looks at her. It opens its mouth and makes a small sound. It wiggles its tail and flaps its fins. It seems to say thank you and hello. Lila feels happy. She smiles and makes the same sound. She wiggles her fingers and flaps her arms. She says you're welcome and hello. The new fish and Lila become friends. They follow each other and have fun. +Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They saw a man with many balloons. The balloons were red, blue, yellow, and green.

They will fly away," he said. + +"Thank you, mister," Lily and Sam said. + +They ran to the swings with their balloons. They were happy. They swung high and low. They laughed and sang. + +But then a strong wind came. It blew hard. It shook the trees and the grass. It pulled at their balloons. + +Lily held on to her balloon. She did not want to lose it. But Sam let go of his balloon. He wanted to see it fly. + +"Sam, no!" Lily shouted. "Your balloon will go away!" + +Sam watched his balloon. It went up and up. It was smaller and smaller. It was a tiny dot in the sky. + +"Bye, balloon," Sam said. He was sad. He liked his balloon. + +Lily felt sorry for Sam. She loved her brother. She had an idea. + +"Sam, you can have my balloon," she said. She took off her balloon and gave it to him. + +"Really? For me?" Sam asked. He was surprised. + +"Yes, for you. I don't need two balloons. You can have one," Lily said. + +Sam smiled. He hugged Lily. He thanked her. + +"You are the best sister ever," he said. + +Lily smiled too. She hugged Sam back. She was happy. + +They held their balloon together. They went back to the swings. They swung high and low. They laughed and sang. They had fun. +Sam and Mia like to play in the park.

He has a car with lights and a siren. He looks at Sam and Mia. He says hello. He says he is looking for a bad man. + +Sam and Mia are worried. They do not like bad men. They ask the cop what the bad man did. The cop says the bad man took something that was not his. He says the bad man ran away. He says he needs to find him. + +Sam and Mia want to help the cop. They say they saw a man with a bag. They say he was running fast. They say he went behind the tree. The cop says thank you. He says they are good kids.

Can you get me down?" + +Lily saw Anna on the lamp. She was sitting on the lampshade. Lily was happy to see Anna, but she was also angry. She said, "Anna, you are not good. You should not go on the lamp. It is not safe. You could fall or burn. You should stay on the bed with me and my toys. That is where you belong." + +Lily got a chair and climbed on it. She reached for Anna and took her down. She hugged her and said, "Anna, I love you, but you have to listen to me. I am your friend and I know what is best for you. Next time, do not go on the lamp. Stay with me and play with me. I will include you in my game and we will have fun." + +Anna said, "I am sorry, Lily. I was curious and I wanted to see the light. But you are right. It is not good to go on the lamp. It is better to stay with you and play with you. You are my friend and you include me in your game. Thank you, Lily." + +Lily and Anna smiled and kissed.

Lily pointed to a sheep that was different from the others. It was black and had a long nose and horns. It looked ugly and mean. + +"That is a goat, Lily. It is not a sheep. It is bad. We should stay away from it." Tim said. + +But Lily was curious. She wanted to see the goat up close. She walked towards it slowly. The goat saw her and made a loud noise. It did not like Lily.

They run to their dad and ask him. + +"Dad, can we go to the moon?" Sara asks. + +"Sorry, kids, you can't go to the moon. It is too far and too dangerous. And you need a special suit and a helmet and a lot of training," dad says. + +"But dad, we want to see how much the moon weighs. Can we use your scale?" Ben asks. + +Dad laughs. He says, "The scale won't work for the moon. The moon is too big and too heavy. And the moon has no air, so it has no weight. It only has mass." + +Sara and Ben don't understand. They think dad is joking. They say, "Please, dad, let us try. We want to know how much the moon weighs." + +Dad sighs. He says, "Okay, okay, I'll show you. But you have to promise to go to bed after this. Come on, let's go to the garden." + +Dad takes Sara and Ben to the garden. He brings his scale and a flashlight.

They look at the numbers. They are confused. The numbers are the same as before. They say, "Dad, this is not working. The moon is not on the scale. How can we weigh the moon?" + +Dad smiles. He says, "You can't weigh the moon, kids. The moon is too far away. The scale only weighs things that are close to it. And the flashlight only makes the moon look brighter. It doesn't make the moon come closer. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, dad. The moon is too big and too far and too heavy. We can't weigh the moon. But we still like the moon. It is pretty and clear and makes us happy." + +Dad hugs Sara and Ben. He says, "I'm glad you like the moon, kids. The moon is a wonderful thing. But now it is time to go to bed. Come on, let's go inside." + +Sara and Ben say goodnight to the moon. They follow dad to the house. They go to their room and sleep.

She liked to look at other people's things and ask many questions. She saw her mom's passport on the table and wanted to see it. She took it and opened it. She saw her mom's name and picture and some stamps from other places. She wondered what those places were like. + +"Lisa, what are you doing with my passport?" her mom asked. She came into the room and saw Lisa holding her passport. She was not happy. She took the passport from Lisa and put it back on the table. "You should not touch other people's things without asking, Lisa. That is rude and dangerous. What if you lost my passport or tore it? Then we could not go on our trip. You need to learn to respect other people's privacy and belongings." + +Lisa felt ashamed. She did not mean to make her mom angry or ruin their trip. She just wanted to learn more about the world.

But you have to promise me to never touch my passport or anyone else's again. Do you understand?" + +Lisa nodded and said, "I promise, mom. I understand. I will not be nosy anymore.

She started to cry and hugged her teddy bear and her doll. + +"I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry, Mrs. Lee. I was just playing with my toys. I didn't know you could hear me. Please don't be mad at me," she sobbed. + +Her mom sighed and softened her tone. She knelt down and hugged Anna. + +"It's okay, Anna, I'm not mad at you. I know you were just playing.

She is very nice and she brought you a present," she said. + +Anna wiped her tears and smiled. She followed her mom and Mrs. Lee to the kitchen. She said hello to Mrs. Lee and thanked her for the present. It was a beautiful book with colorful pictures and stories. Anna was very happy and curious. She asked Mrs. Lee to read her a story. Mrs. Lee agreed and sat down with Anna on the couch. They opened the book and started to read. + +Anna's mom watched them and smiled. She was glad that Anna and Mrs. Lee got along well. She hoped that Anna would learn to be more quiet and polite, but also to keep her joy and imagination. She loved her young girl very much. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park.

It goes like this: Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so..." + +Tom says, "Yes, I want to sing with you. I know that song too. It is a good song. Let's sing it loud, so Jesus can hear us." + +Jen and Tom start to sing the song. Their moms smile and join them. They sing with joy and love. They thank Jesus for being their friend. They feel his peace in their hearts. They are happy. +Lily and Sam like to play with their bikes. They have helmets to keep their heads safe. Lily has a pink helmet with flowers. Sam has a blue helmet with stars. + +One day, they see a sign near the park. The sign has a picture of a bike and a word. Lily can read the word. It says "trail". She tells Sam what it means. + +"Trail means a path in the woods. We can ride our bikes there. It will be fun!" Lily says. + +Sam nods and follows Lily. They ride their bikes to the sign and enter the trail. They see trees and birds and flowers. They feel the wind and the sun on their faces. + +But then, they come to a bridge. The bridge is old and broken. It has a sign too. The sign has a picture of a bike with a cross and a word. Sam can read the word. It says "danger". He tells Lily what it means. + +"Danger means something bad can happen. We should not cross the bridge. It can fall and hurt us!" Sam says. + +Lily looks at the bridge. She sees the holes and the cracks. She thinks it looks scary. She agrees with Sam. + +"You are right, Sam. The bridge is not safe. We should go back. We can find another trail to ride our bikes." Lily says. + +They turn around and ride their bikes away from the bridge. They are happy and careful. They wear their helmets and read the signs. They enjoy the trail and the park. They are good friends. +Tom was a gifted boy. He liked to draw and sing and play with his toys. He had many friends at school and at home. He was happy and kind. + +One day, Tom was playing in his room with his fireman toy. He liked to pretend he was a fireman and save people from fires. He had a red hat and a hose and a truck. He made siren noises and zoomed around. + +But he did not see that his lamp was too close to his curtain. The lamp was hot and the curtain was dry. Soon, the curtain caught fire and the fire grew bigger and bigger. Tom smelled smoke and saw the fire. He was scared and did not know what to do. + +He ran to his door and opened it. He saw his mom and dad in the hall. They were also scared and shouted, "Tom, come here! There is a fire! We have to escape!" They grabbed Tom and ran down the stairs. They saw other people running out of the building. They heard more sirens and saw real firemen coming. + +The firemen were brave and strong. They had big hoses and ladders and axes. They sprayed water on the fire and broke the windows and doors. They went inside and looked for anyone who was still there. They saved a cat and a dog and a baby. They put out the fire and made sure everyone was safe. + +Tom and his parents hugged each other and thanked the firemen. They were happy and relieved. They lost some of their things, but they did not lose each other. They were grateful and proud. They said, "You are the best firemen ever! You are gifted and heroic!" The firemen smiled and said, "You are welcome. We are glad you escaped. You are gifted and brave too!" +Tom and Lily were very happy. Today was the festival day. They could play with many toys and games. They could eat yummy food and drink sweet juice. They could see funny clowns and colorful balloons. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go to the festival!" Tom said. He held Lily's hand and ran to the park. Lily nodded and smiled. She liked the festival too. + +They saw a big tent with many children inside. They heard music and laughter. They wanted to join them. But they saw a sign that said: "Only for obedient children. No running, no shouting, no pushing." + +"Are we obedient, Tom?" Lily asked. She looked at Tom with big eyes. + +"Of course we are, Lily. We always listen to Mom and Dad. We always say please and thank you. We always share and help. We are very obedient." Tom said. He was proud of himself and his sister. + +They entered the tent and saw many wonderful things. They played with puzzles and blocks. They painted and drew. They sang and danced. They made new friends. They had a lot of fun. + +They were very obedient. They did not run, shout, or push. They waited for their turn. They said sorry and excuse me. They cleaned up after themselves. + +The teacher in the tent was very happy. She gave them stickers and hugs. She said: "You are very obedient children. You can play here as long as you want. You make the festival more fun." + +Tom and Lily were very happy. They thanked the teacher and hugged her back. They said: "You are very nice. We like the festival. We like to play here." + +They played some more until Mom and Dad came to pick them up. They told them about the festival and the tent. They showed them their stickers and drawings. + +Mom and Dad were very happy. They praised them and kissed them. They said: "You are very obedient children. We are very proud of you. You make us very happy." + +Tom and Lily were very happy. They hugged Mom and Dad and said: "We love you. We love the festival. We love to play." +Lily liked to play with her toy phone. She would pretend to call her friends and talk to them. She would say hello, how are you, and what are you doing. She would repeat what they said back to her. + +One day, she decided to call her brother Max. He was in his room, reading a book. She pressed the buttons on her phone and said, "Hello, Max. This is Lily. Do you want to play with me?" + +Max heard his sister's voice from his phone. He smiled and picked it up. He said, "Hello, Lily. This is Max. I am reading a book. Maybe later we can play." + +Lily heard her brother's voice from her phone. She repeated what he said. She said, "Hello, Max. This is Max. I am reading a book. Maybe later we can play." + +Max was confused. He said, "No, Lily. This is Max. You are Lily. Why are you repeating what I say?" + +Lily giggled. She said, "No, Max. This is Max. You are Lily. Why are you repeating what I say?" + +Max realized that his sister was playing a game. He decided to play along. He said, "OK, Lily. This is Lily. You are Max. Can you touch your nose?" + +Lily touched her nose. She said, "OK, Max. This is Max. You are Lily. Can you touch your nose?" + +Max touched his nose. He said, "Yes, Lily. This is Lily. You are Max. Can you run fast?" + +Lily ran fast. She said, "Yes, Max. This is Max. You are Lily. Can you run fast?" + +Max ran fast. He said, "Yes, Lily. This is Lily. You are Max. You are very fast. I am very fast. We are both very fast." + +Lily and Max ran to each other and hugged. They laughed and said, "We are Lily and Max. We are brother and sister. We like to play with our toy phone. We like to repeat what we say. We have fun." +Tom and Lily liked to play on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. One day, they found a big shell that was closed. They wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe it is a pearl," Tom said. "Pearls are shiny and pretty. I want to own it." + +"Maybe it is an oyster," Lily said. "Oysters are slimy and yucky. I do not want to own it." + +They tried to open the shell, but it was too hard. They asked their mom for help. She used a knife to pry the shell open. Inside, there was an oyster. + +"Look, it is an oyster," Lily said. "I was right. It is slimy and yucky." + +She made a face and gave the shell to Tom. Tom looked at the oyster. He saw something shiny in it. It was a pearl. + +"Look, it is a pearl," Tom said. "I was right. It is shiny and pretty." + +He smiled and took the pearl out of the oyster. He put it in his pocket. He was happy. He owned a pearl. + +Lily was sad. She wished she had the pearl. She thought it was not fair. She was spoiled. She wanted to own everything. She tried to take the pearl from Tom. + +"Give me the pearl," she said. "It is mine. I found the shell." + +"No, it is mine," Tom said. "I opened the shell. I own the pearl." + +They started to fight. They pulled and pushed each other. Their mom saw them and was angry. She took the pearl from them. + +"Stop fighting," she said. "You are both spoiled. You do not own the pearl. The oyster owns the pearl. It made the pearl. It is its home. You should not take it away." + +She put the pearl back in the oyster. She closed the shell. She threw it back into the sea. + +"Say sorry to the oyster," she said. "And to each other. And be nice. Or you will not play on the beach again." + +Tom and Lily said sorry to the oyster. And to each other. And they were nice. They learned to share and not to be spoiled. They played on the beach and had fun. They did not need to own everything. They had each other. +Ben and Lily were playing on the sand near the water. They liked to make castles and dig holes. Sometimes they would run into the water and splash each other. But they never went too far, because their mom told them to be careful. + +One day, a big wave came and knocked Ben down. He felt the water pull him away from the shore. He was fearful and cried for help. Lily saw him and ran to him. She grabbed his hand and tried to pull him back. But the wave was too strong and they both fell into the water. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. Their mom heard them and ran to them. She was also fearful, but she was brave. She jumped into the water and grabbed them both. She swam with them to the shore. She hugged them and kissed them. She was happy they were safe. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't listen to you. I went too far," Ben said. + +"Me too, mom. I'm sorry. I wanted to help Ben," Lily said. + +"It's okay, my loves. I'm proud of you for trying to help each other. But you have to be more careful next time. The water can be dangerous. Do you understand?" mom said. + +"Yes, mom. We understand. We love you," Ben and Lily said. + +They all smiled and hugged. They decided to play on the sand again, but closer to the shore. They had fun and learned a lesson. +Anna liked to sing songs. She sang when she woke up, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. She sang loud and clear, and she made up her own words. + +But not everyone liked Anna's songs. Her big brother Ben did not like them. He said they were ugly and noisy. He said they hurt his ears and his head. He said Anna should stop singing and be quiet. He was mean to Anna and made her cry. + +One day, Anna found a shiny toy in the closet. It was a microphone. It had a button that made it sound louder. Anna was happy. She thought she could use the microphone to sing her songs better. She ran to the living room and turned it on. + +Ben was there, watching TV. He heard Anna's voice coming from the microphone. He was angry. He yelled at Anna to go away. He grabbed the microphone from her and threw it on the floor. It broke into pieces. Anna was sad. She ran to her room and sobbed. + +But then, something happened. The TV stopped working. Ben tried to fix it, but he could not. He looked at the wires and saw that they were cut. He realized that the microphone had hit the wires when he threw it. He had broken the TV. He was scared. He knew he would be in trouble. + +He went to Anna's room and knocked on the door. He said he was sorry. He said he should not have been mean to her. He said he liked her songs. He asked her to forgive him. Anna opened the door and hugged him. She said she forgave him. She said she loved him. They went to the kitchen and told their mom what happened. Mom was not happy, but she was glad they were sorry. She said they had to learn to share and respect each other. She said they had to help pay for a new TV. She said they could sing songs together while they did chores. Anna and Ben agreed. They learned their lesson. They sang happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. They sang loud and clear, and they made up their own words. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they found some dough that their mom had left on the table. They decided to have some fun with it. + +"Let's make some shapes with the dough!" said Tom. + +"OK, but I want to make more shapes than you!" said Lily. + +They started to roll and cut the dough into different shapes. They made stars, hearts, circles, and squares. They put them on a tray and showed them to each other. + +"Look, I made ten shapes!" said Tom. + +"Well, I made eleven shapes!" said Lily. + +They both wanted to win, so they kept making more shapes. They did not notice that the dough was getting sticky and messy. They also did not notice that their dog, Max, had entered the kitchen. Max was a hairy dog who liked to eat anything he could find. + +Max saw the dough on the table and thought it was a snack. He jumped on the table and started to eat the shapes. He ate them very fast and made a lot of noise. + +Tom and Lily heard the noise and turned around. They saw Max eating their shapes. They were shocked and angry. + +"Max, stop it! That's our dough!" they shouted. + +But it was too late. Max had eaten all their shapes. He looked at them with a guilty face and wagged his tail. + +Tom and Lily felt sad and sorry. They had wasted their dough and their time. They had also made a mess in the kitchen. They realized that they had been too greedy and competitive. They hugged each other and apologized. + +"Sorry, Tom. I should not have tried to make more shapes than you," said Lily. + +"Sorry, Lily. I should not have tried to make more shapes than you, either," said Tom. + +They decided to clean up the kitchen and make some new dough with their mom. They learned to share and cooperate. They also learned to keep an eye on Max. They still loved their hairy dog, but they did not let him near their dough again. +Tom has a new toy. It is a robot. The robot can talk and move and do many things. Tom likes his robot very much. + +One day, Tom wants to play with his robot outside. He takes his robot and his bucket and goes to the garden. He sees a big hole in the ground. He thinks it is a good place to play. + +"Robot, can you help me fill this hole?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, Tom. I can fill anything," the robot says. + +Tom and his robot start to fill the hole with dirt, sand, rocks, leaves and flowers. They have a lot of fun. They fill the hole very fast. + +But then, something goes wrong. The robot starts to act crazy. He fills the hole with more and more things. He fills it with Tom's shoes, his hat, his ball, his bike and his dog. + +"Robot, stop! You are filling too much!" Tom shouts. + +But the robot does not stop. He fills the hole with the bucket, the hose, the rake and the shovel. He fills it with the chair, the table, the lamp and the sofa. He fills it with the fridge, the oven, the TV and the bed. + +"Robot, stop! You are filling everything!" Tom cries. + +But the robot does not stop. He fills the hole with the car, the truck, the bus and the plane. He fills it with the house, the tree, the hill and the sky. + +"Robot, stop! You are filling the world!" Tom screams. + +But the robot does not stop. He fills the hole with the sun, the moon, the stars and the space. + +"Robot, stop! You are filling the hole!" Tom whispers. + +But the robot does not hear him. He fills the hole with himself. + +The end. +It was a dark night in the winter season. Anna and Ben were playing in the snow with their dog, Spot. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They threw snowballs at each other and laughed. + +"Let's go home now," Anna said. "It is very cold and I am hungry." + +"OK," Ben said. "But first, let's slide down the hill on our sleds. It will be fun!" + +They took their sleds and ran to the top of the hill. Spot followed them, barking. Anna went first. She sat on her sled and pushed off. She went very fast down the hill. She felt the wind on her face and the snow in her hair. + +Ben went next. He sat on his sled and pushed off. He went very fast down the hill too. He tried to catch up with Anna. But he did not see a big rock in his way. He hit the rock and stumbled. He fell off his sled and rolled in the snow. He hurt his knee and his elbow. He cried. + +"Ben, are you OK?" Anna asked. She stopped her sled and ran to him. Spot ran to him too and licked his face. + +"It hurts," Ben said. He showed Anna his knee and his elbow. They were red and bleeding. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna said. She hugged him and gave him a kiss. "Let's go home now. Mom will make it better." + +They got up and took their sleds. They walked home with Spot. Mom saw them and opened the door. She saw Ben's knee and elbow. She said, "Oh, no, what happened?" + +"We were sliding down the hill and Ben stumbled on a rock," Anna said. + +Mom said, "Poor Ben. Come in, I will clean your wounds and put a bandage on them. Then you can have some hot chocolate and cookies." + +They went in and Mom did what she said. Ben felt better. He said, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Anna. Thank you, Spot." + +They smiled and hugged. They had some hot chocolate and cookies. They were happy. They liked the winter season, but they also liked to be warm and cozy at home. +Sara and Tom like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big puzzle. The puzzle has many parts that fit together to make a picture. The picture is of a farm with animals and a house. + +One day, Sara and Tom want to finish the puzzle. They look for the last part, but they cannot find it. They look under the sofa, behind the curtain, and in the toy box. They ask their mom and dad, but they do not know where it is. + +"Where is the last part?" Sara says. "We need it to finish the puzzle." + +"Maybe it is in the trash," Tom says. "Maybe we threw it away by mistake." + +They run to the kitchen and look in the trash can. They see many things, but not the part. They are sad and frustrated. + +Then, they hear a noise from the living room. They go back and see their dog, Spot, on the floor. Spot has something in his mouth. It is the part! + +"Spot, you have the part!" Sara says. "Give it to us, please." + +Spot wags his tail and drops the part. Sara and Tom are happy and hug him. They put the part in the puzzle and complete the picture. They see a frame around the picture. The frame is modest, but pretty. It has flowers and stars on it. + +"Look, we did it!" Tom says. "The puzzle is done. It is beautiful." + +"Yes, it is," Sara says. "And Spot helped us. He is a good dog." + +They show their mom and dad the puzzle. They are proud and happy. They hang the puzzle on the wall and admire it. They thank Spot for finding the part. They play with him and give him a treat. They have fun together. +Anna liked to play with her red car. She had a big loop that she made with a long paper. She put the loop on the floor and pushed her car through it. She was very smart and knew how to make the loop stay up. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her red car and her loop. She wanted to show them how she could play with them. She found a nice spot on the grass and set up her loop. She was ready to push her car through it. + +But then, she saw a big dog running towards her. The dog was friendly and wanted to play, but Anna was scared. She dropped her car and ran to her mom and dad. They hugged her and told her it was okay. The dog's owner came and took the dog away. He said he was sorry and that the dog was just curious. + +Anna calmed down and looked for her car and her loop. But she could not find them. She was sad and wondered where they went. She asked her mom and dad if they saw them. They said they did not. They looked around, but they could not see them either. + +Then, Anna remembered something. She remembered that she had a sticker on her car. It was a shiny star that she got from her teacher. She thought maybe she could see the sticker if she looked hard enough. She told her mom and dad about her idea. They said it was a good idea and helped her look. + +They walked around the park and looked for the shiny star. They looked under the trees, behind the benches, and in the bushes. They looked for a long time, but they could not find it. Anna was about to give up, when she saw something sparkle in the sun. She ran towards it and saw her car and her loop. They were on a hill, near a slide. Someone must have moved them there. + +Anna was very happy and shouted, "I found them! I found them!" She picked up her car and her loop and hugged them. She showed them to her mom and dad. They were happy too and praised her for being smart and remembering her sticker.

Give the doll back." + +Ben did not want to give the doll back. He liked the doll. He said, "No, it is mine. Go away." He pushed Sam. Sam fell down. He was sad. He said, "Ben, you are mean. You are not my friend." + +Ben did not care. He hugged the doll. He walked away. He felt happy. But then, he saw the girl. She was still crying. She looked at Ben with big, wet eyes. She said, "Please, can I have my doll? It is my favorite. My grandma gave it to me. I love it." + +Ben felt bad. He looked at the doll. He did not love it. He did not want it. He said, "I am sorry. I was wrong. Here is your doll." He gave the doll to the girl. The girl smiled. She said, "Thank you. You are kind." + +Ben felt good. He said, "You are welcome. Can we be friends?" The girl nodded.
