Tommy whistled when he played with his cars, when he ate his cereal, and when he brushed his teeth. He whistled so much that his mom sometimes asked him to be quiet. + +One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom and dad. He saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. He also saw a girl in a red dress. She had long hair and shiny shoes. She looked rich. Tommy wanted to play with her, so he whistled to get her attention. + +The girl heard Tommy and turned around.

Then they tied a big knot at the other end to make a seat. + +"Let's try it!" Lily said. "You go first, Tom." + +"Okay!" Tom said. He climbed on the knot and held the rope with both hands. He pushed himself off the ground and swung high in the air. He felt the wind in his face and the sun on his back. He laughed and shouted, "This is awesome!" + +Lily watched him and clapped her hands. She wanted to swing too. She waited for Tom to come back to the ground. But he did not. The rope got stuck on the branch. Tom could not swing back. He was trapped in the air. + +"Help!" Tom cried. "I can't get down!" + +Lily ran to the tree and tried to pull the rope. But it was too heavy and too high. She could not reach it. She looked around and saw a man walking by.

He had a bad smile. He had a bad plan. + +"Sure, I can help you," he said. "But first, you have to help me. I need some ropes for my ship. You have some nice ropes here. Can I have them?" + +Lily did not like the man. She did not trust him. She wanted to keep her ropes. But she also wanted to save Tom. She did not know what to do. + +"Please, hurry!" Tom said. "I'm scared!" + +Lily nodded. She gave the man her ropes. She hoped he would help Tom. But he did not. He took the ropes and ran away. He laughed and shouted, "Thank you, kids! You are so kind!

Sara asks the big girl. + +"Sure, why not? I'm Lily. What are your names?" the big girl says. + +"I'm Sara and this is Ben. We like hoops too. Can you show us how to spin the hoop on your arm?" Sara says. + +"Okay, but you have to give me your hoops first. I'll show you with mine," Lily says. + +Sara and Ben think Lily is helpful. They give her their hoops and watch her spin the big hoop on her arm. She is very fast and smooth. + +"Wow, you're amazing! Can we try?" Ben says. + +"No, you can't. These are my hoops now. You gave them to me. Go away, you're too little to play with me," Lily says. + +She grabs the hoops and runs away. Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They want their hoops back.

The sun is very bright and warm. + +"Look, Tom, the sun is a fire!" Lily says. + +"No, Lily, the sun is not a fire. It is a star. A fire is something you use to cook or keep warm." Tom says. + +Lily and Tom go to the kitchen. They see Mom using a fire on the stove. She is making soup. The soup smells yummy. + +"Mom, can we use the fire too?" Lily asks. + +"No, Lily, the fire is not for playing. It is very hot and can hurt you. You can help me stir the soup instead." Mom says. + +Lily and Tom help Mom stir the soup. They wait for Dad to come home. Then they have soup for lunch. The soup is yummy and makes them happy. They thank Mom for using the fire to make soup. They love Mom and the sun and the soup. +Sam and Jen were friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks. One day, they found a big can of oil in the garage. They wanted to make the cars and trucks go faster. + +"Let's put oil on the wheels!" Sam said. + +"OK!" Jen said. "That sounds fun!" + +They opened the can and poured oil on the cars and trucks. Then they pushed them on the floor. The cars and trucks zoomed and slid and crashed. Sam and Jen laughed and clapped. + +But then, Mom came in. She saw the oil on the floor and the cars and trucks. She was very angry. + +"What have you done?" Mom yelled. "This is a big mess! Oil is not for playing! It is dangerous and dirty! You could have hurt yourselves or the cars and trucks!" + +She took away the can and the cars and trucks. She made Sam and Jen clean the floor with soap and water. She said they could not play with cars and trucks for a week. She said they had to say sorry to each other and to her. + +Sam and Jen were sad. They did not have fun anymore. They wished they had not played with oil. They learned a hard lesson. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with toys in Lily's room. But Lily's mom said they had to tidy the room before they could go out. + +"Let's tidy the room, Tom," Lily said. "Then we can go to the park and see the ducks." + +"OK, Lily," Tom said. "But I want to choose the way we tidy the room." + +"How do you want to tidy the room, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"I want to tidy the room by throwing all the toys out of the window," Tom said. He picked up a teddy bear and threw it out of the window. + +"Tom, no!" Lily cried. "That's not tidy, that's naughty! Mom will be angry!" + +But Tom did not listen. He threw more toys out of the window. He threw dolls, cars, books, and blocks. He laughed and said it was fun. + +Lily tried to stop him, but he was too fast. She felt sad and scared. She did not want to lose her toys. She did not want to make mom angry. + +Soon, the room was empty. There were no toys left. Lily and Tom looked out of the window. They saw a big mess on the ground. They saw mom coming home. She saw the mess too. She looked very angry. + +"Tom, Lily, what have you done?" mom shouted. "You have been very bad! You have to go home, Tom, and you have to say sorry, Lily. You have no toys to play with now. You have no park to go to. You have no fun today." + +Lily and Tom felt very sorry. They had chosen the wrong way to tidy the room. They had lost their toys and their friend. They had made mom angry. They had no fun today. They had a bad ending. +Sara liked to go to the park with her mom. She liked to see the birds, the flowers, and the big fountain. She also liked to buy ice cream from the vendor, who was a nice man with a big smile. He always gave her a colorful spoon and a napkin. + +One day, Sara saw a little girl sitting on a bench. She looked sad and lonely. Sara wanted to make her happy, so she asked her mom if she could share her ice cream with her. Her mom said yes, and Sara ran to the bench with her cone. + +"Hi, I'm Sara. Do you want some ice cream?" she asked the girl. + +The girl looked up and smiled. "Yes, please. Thank you. I'm Lily," she said. + +Sara gave her half of her cone and sat next to her. They started to talk and found out they liked the same things. They became friends and played together in the park. + +The vendor saw them and was happy. He was thoughtful and kind. He had a secret. He knew Lily was his granddaughter, but he had not seen her for a long time. He had prayed for a chance to meet her and hug her. He decided to wait until Sara's mom came back and then introduce himself. + +He hoped they would be happy to see him and forgive him for being away. He had a gift for Lily in his cart. It was a teddy bear with a red bow. He wanted to give it to her and tell her he loved her. He thanked God for sending Sara to the park that day. She was a good and generous girl. She had made his dream come true. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Max had a truck. They liked to pretend that the doll and the truck were friends and went on adventures together. + +One day, Lily had an idea. She said to Max, "Let's attach a banana to the truck. Then the truck can have a snack when it gets hungry." Max thought that was a good idea. He found a banana in the kitchen and brought it to the living room. He used some tape to attach the banana to the back of the truck. + +"Look, the truck has a banana now!" Max said proudly. "Let's take it for a ride." He pushed the truck along the floor, making vroom-vroom noises. Lily followed him with her doll, making beep-beep noises. + +They had fun playing with the truck and the doll, until they heard a loud bark. It was Spot, their dog. Spot smelled the banana and ran towards the truck. He wanted to eat the banana. He jumped on the truck and tried to pull the banana off. + +"Spot, no!" Lily and Max shouted. They were anxious. They did not want Spot to ruin their toy or their snack. They ran to the truck and tried to push Spot away. But Spot was stronger and bigger than them. He kept tugging at the banana. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Max cried. They hoped that someone would hear them and come to their rescue. +Tim and Lily are in the classroom. They are bored. The teacher talks and talks. They do not listen. They want to play. + +Tim sees a sharp pencil on the desk. He has an idea. He whispers to Lily. "Let's make a picture on the wall. It will be fun." + +Lily nods. She likes to draw. They take the pencil and sneak to the wall. They start to make a picture of a big cat. They make the cat's eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and whiskers. They make the cat's fur with lines and dots. + +The teacher sees them. She is angry. She walks to them and says. "What are you doing? You are naughty. You do not draw on the wall. You draw on the paper. Give me the pencil. Go to the corner. You are in trouble." + +Tim and Lily are sad. They do not like the corner. They do not like the teacher. They do not like the classroom. They wish they were at home. They wish they had a real cat. +Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big ball that looks like a planet. It has many colors and shapes on it. + +"Wow, look at that ball!" Lila says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can we play with it?" Tom asks. + +They run to the ball and pick it up. It is heavy and round. They try to roll it, but it is too hard. They try to bounce it, but it does not go high. They try to spin it, but it makes them dizzy. + +"Whoa, this ball is weird!" Tom says. "It does not do anything fun!" + +"Maybe it is not a ball," Lila says. "Maybe it is a real planet!" + +They look at the ball more closely. They see stars and moons and rings on it. They see land and water and clouds on it. They see animals and plants and people on it. + +"Wow, this is a real planet!" Lila says. "It is so amazing!" + +"Can we keep it?" Tom asks. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is a man in a white coat. He has a badge that says "Space Museum". + +"Excuse me, kids," the man says. "That is not a ball or a planet. That is a model. It is a small copy of a planet. It is for learning and looking, not for playing and picking. Please put it back on the stand." + +Lila and Tom feel sorry. They did not know it was a model. They did not mean to take it. They put the model back on the stand. They say sorry to the man. + +"It is okay, kids," the man says. "I am glad you are curious about space. But next time, please ask before you touch anything. And be careful, some models are fragile and can break." + +Lila and Tom nod. They thank the man. They look at the model one more time. They still think it is pretty and amazing. But they do not want to pick it or spin it anymore. They want to learn more about it. They ask the man if he can tell them more about the planet. The man smiles and agrees. He starts to explain the planet to them. Lila and Tom listen and ask questions. They learn a lot of new things. They have fun. They forget about being dizzy. +Lily was a spoiled girl who always got what she wanted. She had many toys, dresses, and sweets, but she was never happy. She always wanted more and more, and she never shared with anyone. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a boy playing with a ball. She wanted the ball, so she ran to the boy and tried to grab it. The boy was surprised and angry, and he said, "No, this is my ball! Go away!" + +Lily did not like that. She cried and screamed, "Give me the ball! It is mine! I want it!" She kicked the boy and pulled his hair. The boy cried too, and he called for his mom. + +The boy's mom came and saw what was happening. She was very upset and said to Lily's mom, "Look at your daughter! She is so rude and mean! She hurt my son and tried to take his ball! She is a spoiled brat!" + +Lily's mom was ashamed and sorry. She said to the boy's mom, "I am so sorry. You are right. She is a spoiled brat. I have given her too much and taught her too little. I will take her home and teach her a lesson." + +She took Lily by the hand and dragged her to the car. Lily was still crying and whining, but her mom did not reply. She was too angry and disappointed. She drove Lily home and made her stay in her room with no toys, no dresses, and no sweets. She told her, "You will stay here until you learn to be nice and share. You have been a very bad girl today." + +Lily felt sad and lonely. She realized that she had been a very bad girl today. She wished she had been nice and shared. She wished she had a friend to play with. She wished she had a ball. +Tommy loves his new puppy. He calls him Spot, because he has a big black spot on his back. Spot is very cute and soft. He likes to play with Tommy and his toys. + +One day, Tommy and Spot go to the park with Mommy. They see many other puppies and children there. Spot runs and jumps with them. He is very happy. Tommy smiles and laughs. + +"Look, Mommy, Spot is having fun!" Tommy says. + +"Yes, he is, Tommy. He is a good puppy," Mommy says. + +Then, Tommy sees a big dog. The big dog is brown and has long hair. He looks angry. He barks loudly at Spot and the other puppies. He scares them. Spot runs away from the big dog. He hides behind a bench. + +"Spot, Spot, where are you?" Tommy calls. He is worried. He does not like the big dog. + +Mommy sees the big dog too. She does not like him either. She goes to the bench and finds Spot. She picks him up and hugs him. She is glad he is safe. + +"Here he is, Tommy. He is okay. Don't be afraid," Mommy says. + +Tommy runs to Mommy and Spot. He hugs them too. He is happy. He loves his puppy. + +"Thank you, Mommy. You are the best," Tommy says. + +"You're welcome, Tommy. You are the best too," Mommy says. + +They leave the park and go home. They have a nice day. Tommy and Spot are good friends. +Lily loved to create things with her crayons and paper. She liked to draw flowers, animals, and houses. One day, she wanted to create a picture of a daisy for her mom. She picked a yellow crayon and a green crayon and started to draw. + +But Lily was frustrated. She could not make the daisy look like the ones she saw in the garden. Her petals were too big or too small, her stem was too crooked or too straight, and her center was too round or too square. She tried again and again, but she was not happy with her picture. + +She threw her crayons and paper on the floor and started to cry. Her mom heard her and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily's tears and her messy picture. She hugged Lily and said, "What's the matter, sweetie?" + +"I want to create a daisy for you, but I can't do it. It's too hard. I'm a bad drawer," Lily sobbed. + +Mom smiled and said, "You're not a bad drawer, Lily. You're a wonderful drawer. You just need some practice. Drawing is like anything else. The more you do it, the better you get. And I love your picture. It's very creative and colorful. It's a special daisy that only you can make." + +Lily looked at her mom and then at her picture. She saw that her mom was right. Her picture was not like the real daisies, but it was her own. It had her own style and imagination. She felt proud of her picture and of herself. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love your daisy. Can I hang it on the fridge?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. And can I create more pictures for you?" + +Mom said, "Of course, you can. You can create anything you want. You're a great artist, Lily." + +Lily hugged her mom and said, "You're the best mom, ever." + +They went to the kitchen and hung the picture on the fridge. Then they had some cookies and milk and talked about what else Lily could create. Lily felt happy and excited. She could not wait to create more things with her crayons and paper. She loved to create. +Lily was a young girl who loved to climb. She climbed trees, rocks, walls, and anything else she could find. She wanted to reach the top of everything and see the world from high up. She had a goal: to climb the big hill behind her house. + +One day, she asked her mom if she could go to the hill. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful and come back before dark. Lily put on her shoes, grabbed her backpack, and ran to the hill. She was so excited to start her adventure. + +The hill was steep and rocky, but Lily was brave and strong. She used her hands and feet to find good places to hold on and move up. She saw birds, flowers, and bugs along the way. She said hello to them and kept climbing. She was having so much fun. + +When she was almost at the top, she heard a voice. It was her friend Ben, who lived next door. He had followed her to the hill and wanted to climb with her. He called out to her and waved. + +"Lily, wait for me! I want to climb too!" + +Lily smiled and shouted back. + +"Hi, Ben! Come on, let's go to the top together!" + +She waited for him to catch up and then they climbed the last part of the hill. They reached the top and hugged each other. They looked around and saw the whole town, the fields, the river, and the sky. They felt happy and proud. + +They had reached their goal. They had climbed the big hill. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. They have a big yard with many trees and flowers. Sometimes they find bugs and birds and watch them. + +One day, they see a small cat under a bush. The cat is black and white and has green eyes. The cat is scared and hungry. Anna and Ben want to help the cat. + +"Hello, cat. We are Anna and Ben. Do you want to be our friend?" Anna says softly. + +The cat does not answer. It makes a small sound. It is cold and wet. + +"Let's take the cat to our shelter. We have a box with a blanket and some toys. We can give the cat some milk and food." Ben says. + +Anna and Ben pick up the cat gently. They carry it to their shelter. It is a big cardboard box behind the garage. They put the cat inside and cover it with the blanket. They give it some milk and food from their lunch. + +The cat drinks and eats. It feels warm and safe. It purrs and rubs its head against Anna and Ben. It is a sweet cat. It likes Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They spend the afternoon with the cat. They play and cuddle with it. They give it a name. They call it Spot. + +"Spot, you are our new friend. We will take care of you. You can stay in our shelter." Anna says. + +"Spot, you are a sweet cat. We love you. You can play with us." Ben says. + +Spot meows and licks their faces. It is a happy cat. It has a new home and new friends. Anna and Ben have a new pet. They are a happy family. +Lila liked to work in the garden with her mom. She helped to dig, plant and water the flowers and vegetables. She also liked to look for bugs and worms in the soil. + +One day, she saw a big root sticking out of the ground. It was brown and hard and had many small hairs. She wondered what it was and where it came from. She asked her mom, but her mom was busy with the tomatoes and said she would tell her later. + +Lila was persistent. She wanted to know more about the root. She pulled on it with her hands, but it did not move. She got a shovel and tried to dig around it, but it was too deep. She got a rope and tied it to the root and to a tree, but it did not budge. + +She was about to give up, when she heard a loud crack. She looked up and saw that the tree had fallen over. The root was attached to the tree. It was part of the tree. Lila was amazed and scared. She ran to her mom and hugged her. + +Her mom was surprised and worried. She explained to Lila that the root was how the tree got water and food from the ground. She said that the tree was old and weak and that the root was too strong for it. She said that they had to be careful with roots and trees and respect them. + +Lila felt sorry for the tree and the root. She said she was sorry and that she did not mean to hurt them. She said she just wanted to learn. Her mom said she understood and that she was proud of her curiosity and persistence. She said they would plant a new tree and take care of it. She said they would also use the old tree and root for firewood and compost. She said that was how nature worked. Lila nodded and smiled. She learned a lot that day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big slide that looked fun. They ran to the slide as fast as they could. + +"Me first!" Tom shouted. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. He did not wait for Lily. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. She was sad and angry. She wanted to slide too. + +Tom slid down the slide very fast. He felt happy and proud. He did not care about Lily. He ran back to the ladder and climbed up again. + +But as he was about to sit on the slide, he saw something scary. A big dog had entered the park. The dog was barking and growling. It had sharp teeth and a long tail. It looked hungry and angry. + +Tom was afraid of the dog. He wanted to run away. But he was too high on the slide. He could not get down. He cried for help. + +Lily heard Tom's cry. She saw the dog too. She was afraid of the dog as well. But she also felt sorry for Tom. He was her friend. She wanted to help him. + +She found a big stick on the ground. She picked it up and ran to the slide. She waved the stick at the dog and shouted, "Go away, bad dog! Leave Tom alone!" + +The dog saw Lily and the stick. It was scared of Lily and the stick. It stopped barking and growling. It turned around and ran away. + +Tom saw Lily and the stick. He was glad that Lily had saved him. He slid down the slide and hugged Lily. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very brave and kind. I am sorry I was mean to you. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily smiled and hugged Tom back. She said, "You're welcome, Tom. I am happy you are safe. Yes, we can be friends again. But next time, let's share the slide, okay?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Okay, Lily. Let's share the slide. And let's play together. Playing together is more fun than playing alone." + +They both learned a lesson that day. They learned to be fair and kind to each other. They learned to help each other when they are in trouble. They learned to be friends. +Tom and Mia like to play knights and dragons. Tom has a sword made of wood. Mia has a shield made of cardboard. They run around the yard and pretend to fight the dragon. The dragon is a big pillow with eyes and teeth. + +One day, Tom and Mia see a new kid in the next yard. He has a sword too, but his sword is shiny and light. It looks like a real sword. Tom and Mia want to see it, but the new kid does not want to share. He says his sword is better than theirs and he can beat them in a fight. + +Tom and Mia get angry. They decide to hide behind the fence and wait for the new kid to leave his sword. When he goes inside his house, they sneak over and grab his sword. They run back to their yard and laugh. They think they are very clever. + +But the new kid sees them. He comes out of his house and yells at them. He says they are thieves and he wants his sword back. He climbs over the fence and chases them. Tom and Mia are scared. They drop the sword and run to their house. They lock the door and hide under the bed. + +The new kid knocks on the door and asks for his sword. Tom and Mia do not answer. They hope he will go away. They feel bad for taking his sword. They wish they had been nice to him. Maybe they could have been friends and played together. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They loved to spring on the grass, smell the flowers, and chase the butterflies. One day, they saw a big box under a tree. It had a sign that said "Do not open". They wondered what was inside. It was a mystery. + +"Let's open it and see," said Ben. He was curious and brave. + +"No, we should not," said Lily. She was careful and good. "The sign says no. Maybe it is dangerous or bad." + +Ben did not listen. He ran to the box and pulled the lid. He wanted to find out the mystery. But he did not expect what happened next. Out of the box came a wild animal. It was furry and brown, with sharp teeth and claws. It growled and jumped at Ben. Ben was scared and sorry. + +Lily screamed and ran to help her brother. She grabbed a stick and hit the animal. The animal ran away, but not before it scratched Ben's arm. Ben cried and hugged Lily. Lily was brave and kind. + +They ran back to the house and told their mom what happened. Mom was angry and worried. She cleaned Ben's wound and put a bandage on it. She scolded them for opening the box. She said it was a trap for a wild animal that was eating the chickens. She said they should always obey the signs and not be too curious. + +Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They said they were sorry and hugged their mom. They promised to never open a mystery box again. They realized that some mysteries are better left alone. +Lily and Max moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Lily wanted to unpack her books and toys first. She loved to read and play. + +She found a big box with her name on it. She opened it and saw her books. She smiled. She saw a bookcase in her room. It was white and had four shelves. She wanted to put her books on the bookcase. + +She carried some books to the bookcase. She put them on the shelves. She tried to make them look nice. She saw a book she liked very much. It was about a princess and a dragon. She opened it and looked at the pictures. + +"Can I read this book, Mom?" she asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. But first, can you help me unpack some more boxes?" Mom said. + +"OK, Mom. But can I keep this book with me?" Lily said. + +"Sure, you can. It's your book, after all. You can read it later." Mom said. + +Lily hugged the book. She put it on her bed. She went back to the box. She saw a stuffed bear. It was brown and soft. It had a red bow. It was adorable. She picked it up and cuddled it. + +"Look, Mom. It's my bear. I missed him so much." she said. + +"I'm glad you found him, honey. He missed you too." Mom said. + +Lily put the bear on her bed next to the book. She felt happy. She liked her new room. She liked her bookcase. She liked her books and toys. She liked her bear. She wanted to unpack more things and make her room cozy. She wanted to read her book and play with her bear. She wanted to have fun in her new house. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big tree in their yard with many branches. They liked to climb the tree and pretend they were birds or monkeys. + +One day, they saw a new branch that was very high and long. It seemed like a fun place to go. Lila wanted to try it, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go to the new branch. It looks like a bridge to another tree," Lila said. + +"No, Lila, it's too high and thin. It might break and we might fall," Ben said. + +"Don't be a baby, Ben. I'm not afraid. I'm creative. I can make up a story about the new branch. Maybe it's a magic branch that can take us to a fairy land," Lila said. + +She climbed up to the new branch and walked on it. Ben watched her from below. He was worried. He wished she would come back. + +Suddenly, the branch snapped and Lila screamed. She fell to the ground and hurt her arm. Ben ran to her and hugged her. He called for their mom. + +Mom came and saw what happened. She was angry and sad. She took Lila to the doctor and bandaged her arm. She scolded them for being careless and disobedient. + +"I told you not to go to the new branch. It was too dangerous. You could have been seriously hurt or worse. You should listen to your brother. He was right to be cautious. Being creative is good, but being safe is better," Mom said. + +Lila and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They apologized to Mom and to each other. They learned their lesson. They decided to play on the lower branches and use their imagination in a safer way. They still had fun, but they also respected the rules and the risks. They loved each other and their tree. +Tim likes hockey a lot. He has a hockey stick and a puck. He plays hockey with his dad in the yard. He wants to play hockey with his friends at school. + +One day, Tim is very excited. He has a hockey game at school. He puts on his hockey clothes and his helmet. He runs to the door with his hockey stick and his puck. He says bye to his mom and dad. + +But Tim forgets something. He forgets his backpack. His backpack has his lunch and his water and his books. He does not remember his backpack. He gets on the bus and goes to school. + +At school, Tim plays hockey with his friends. He scores a goal and he is happy. He hears the bell and he goes to the classroom. He looks for his backpack. He does not see his backpack. He feels sad and scared. + +He asks his teacher, "Where is my backpack?" His teacher says, "I don't know, Tim. Did you bring your backpack?" Tim says, "I don't know. I think I forgot." His teacher says, "That's not good, Tim. You need your backpack. You need your lunch and your water and your books. You have to go to the office and call your mom or dad." + +Tim goes to the office and he is crying. He calls his mom and dad. They are angry and impatient. They say, "Tim, how could you forget your backpack? You have to be more careful and responsible. We have to come and bring you your backpack. We are not happy with you, Tim." + +Tim feels very bad. He says sorry to his mom and dad. He says sorry to his teacher. He says sorry to his friends. He does not want to play hockey anymore. He just wants his backpack. He hopes his mom and dad will forgive him. He hopes he will not forget his backpack again. He learns a hard lesson. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a long, thin thing on the grass. It was a snake. + +"Hello, snake," Lily said. "Can I borrow you for a bit? I want to show you to my mom." + +The snake did not say anything. It just looked at Lily with its small, black eyes. Lily thought the snake was shy. She reached out her hand to pick up the snake. + +"Stop!" a voice said. It was Ben, Lily's big brother. He ran to the garden and grabbed Lily's hand. "Don't touch the snake, Lily. It might bite you. It might be a bad snake." + +Lily was scared. She did not know the snake could bite. She let go of the snake and hugged Ben. The snake slithered away into the bushes. + +"Thank you, Ben," Lily said. "You saved me from the bad snake." + +Ben smiled and hugged Lily back. "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you're okay. Next time, don't borrow things from the garden without asking me. Some things are not safe for you." + +Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She decided to borrow something else from the garden. She saw a pretty, yellow flower. She picked it and gave it to Ben. + +"Here, Ben. This is for you. You can borrow it. It is a good flower. It will not bite you." + +Ben laughed and took the flower. He put it in his hair and made a funny face. Lily giggled. They were both glad. They went inside to show the flower to their mom. +Lily liked to play the piano. She liked to press the keys and make sounds. Sometimes she played songs that her mom taught her. Sometimes she made up her own songs. + +One day, Lily was playing the piano in the living room. She heard a loud noise outside. She looked out the window and saw a big truck. The truck was carrying a lot of boxes. Lily wondered what was in the boxes. + +She ran to the door and opened it. She saw a man get out of the truck. He was wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He smiled at Lily and said, "Hello, little girl. I have a delivery for you. Do you want to see what's in the boxes?" + +Lily nodded. She was curious. She followed the man to the truck. He opened one of the boxes and took out a big teddy bear. He gave it to Lily and said, "This is for you. It's very soft and cuddly. You can squeeze it and hug it." + +Lily was happy. She thanked the man and squeezed the teddy bear. It felt warm and fuzzy. She liked it a lot. + +She wanted to show it to her mom. She ran back to the living room with the teddy bear. She put it on the piano and said, "Mom, look what I got! A big teddy bear! It's so nice!" + +But when she turned around, she saw something that made her frightened. There was another box on the truck. And it was moving. And it was making a loud roar. Lily saw a lion's head pop out of the box. It had big teeth and yellow eyes. It looked angry. + +Lily screamed. She grabbed the teddy bear and ran to her mom. She hid behind her and said, "Mom, there's a lion in the truck! It's scary!" + +Her mom looked out the window and saw the lion. She was surprised. She said, "Oh, no! That's a mistake! That lion is not for us! It's for the zoo!" + +She called the man and told him to take the lion away. The man apologized and said he mixed up the boxes. He put the lion back in the box and drove away. + +Lily was relieved. She hugged her mom and the teddy bear. She said, "I'm glad the lion is gone. I don't like lions. I like teddy bears. And I like the piano." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you're safe. I love you, Lily. And I love your teddy bear. And I love your piano. Why don't we play a song together?" + +Lily nodded. She climbed on the piano bench and pressed the keys. She played a song with her mom. The song was happy and sweet. Lily felt happy and sweet too. She squeezed the teddy bear and smiled. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a small door in the wall. It was locked with a key. + +"Let's unlock it!" Ben said. He took a stick and tried to turn the key. But the stick broke. + +"No, no, no!" Lila said. "We need a real key. Maybe Mom has one." + +They ran to the house and asked Mom for a key. Mom gave them a shiny key and told them to be careful. + +"Thank you, Mom!" they said and ran back to the garden. + +They put the key in the lock and turned it. The door opened with a click. They peeked inside. There was a dark room with a lot of things. They saw books, toys, pictures and a big box. + +"What's in the box?" Ben asked. + +"Let's see!" Lila said. + +They opened the box and found a beautiful figure. It was a fairy with wings and a dress. It sparkled in the light. + +"Wow!" they said. + +They took the figure out of the box and held it gently. It was very delicate. They felt happy and curious. + +"Who does it belong to?" Lila asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it's a secret." + +They decided to keep the figure and play with it. They made a bed for it with leaves and flowers. They pretended it could fly and talk. They had a lot of fun. + +They did not know that the figure was a gift from Grandma. She had made it for Mom when she was a little girl. She had hidden it in the box and locked the door. She wanted to surprise Mom on her birthday. + +But Mom did not mind. She was glad that Lila and Ben found the figure. She smiled and hugged them. + +"I love you, my little fairies," she said. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big statue of a man with a hat and a coat. Lily wanted to climb on the statue, but Tom said no. + +"That is not a toy, Lily. That is a statue. It is for looking, not for touching," Tom said. + +"But I want to see his face. Maybe he can whistle like Daddy," Lily said. She did not listen to Tom. She ran to the statue and tried to climb on his leg. + +Tom followed her and tried to pull her down. He was a helpful brother. He did not want Lily to get hurt. But the statue was slippery and hard. Lily slipped and fell. She hit her head on the ground. She cried very loud. + +Tom was scared. He did not know what to do. He saw a lady with a dog walking by. He whistled to get her attention. He hoped she could help Lily. + +But the lady did not hear him. She was listening to music on her phone. She walked past them and did not see them. The dog barked at the statue and tried to bite it. + +Lily and Tom were alone and sad. They wished they had listened to Mommy and stayed away from the statue. +Lily was a big girl who liked to help her mom. Sometimes, her mom would ask her to deliver things to their neighbors. Lily felt happy when she did this, because she liked to see her friends and make them smile. + +One day, her mom gave her a basket of clean clothes. She said, "Lily, can you deliver these clothes to Mrs. Lee? She is sick and needs some help. Be careful on your journey, and don't get dirty." + +Lily nodded and took the basket. She put on her hat and shoes and went outside. She walked along the path, past the flowers and the birds. She saw a cat and a dog, but she did not stop to play with them. She wanted to be quick and good. + +She came to Mrs. Lee's house and knocked on the door. Mrs. Lee opened it and smiled. She looked tired and pale, but she was happy to see Lily. She said, "Thank you, Lily, for bringing me these clothes. They are so clean and soft. You are very kind and helpful." + +Lily gave her a hug and said, "You're welcome, Mrs. Lee. I hope you feel better soon. Mom says to drink lots of water and rest." She put the basket inside and waved goodbye. She felt proud and warm in her heart. + +She went back home, following the same path. She did not get dirty or lose the hat or the shoes. She saw her mom waiting for her at the door. She said, "Mom, I delivered the clothes to Mrs. Lee. She was happy and thanked me. She said I was kind and helpful." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm so proud of you, Lily. You did a great job. You made a good journey and a good deed. You are a big girl and a good friend." She gave her a kiss and a cookie. Lily smiled and ate the cookie. She felt happy and loved. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big puzzle with many pieces. They liked to unite the pieces and make a picture of a farm with animals and plants. + +One day, they were playing with the puzzle in Lily's room, when they heard a loud noise from outside. They ran to the window and saw a big truck with a siren and a ladder. The truck stopped at the house next door, where an old lady lived. The old lady was nice and sometimes gave them cookies. + +"What is happening?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe there is a fire or something," Ben said. + +They saw some men in helmets and coats get out of the truck and run to the house. They also saw a hose and a fire extinguisher. They were scared and curious. + +"Let's go see," Ben said. + +"No, we can't. Mommy said we have to stay inside and be safe," Lily said. + +"But I want to know what is going on," Ben said. + +He opened the door and ran outside. Lily followed him, but she was worried. + +They got closer to the house and saw smoke and flames coming out of a window. They also saw the old lady sitting on the sidewalk, wrapped in a blanket. She looked sad and scared. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asked. + +"No, my dear. I'm not okay. My house is on fire. I lost everything," the old lady said. + +She started to cry. Lily and Ben felt sorry for her. + +"Can we help you?" Ben asked. + +"You are very helpful, but there is nothing you can do. The firemen are trying to save my house, but I don't think they can. I have nowhere to go," the old lady said. + +She cried more. Lily and Ben hugged her and tried to comfort her. + +They heard a loud noise and saw the roof of the house collapse. They saw sparks and ashes fly in the air. They were scared and sad. + +They heard a voice behind them. + +"Lily! Ben! What are you doing here? Come back inside, now!" It was Lily's mommy. She was angry and worried. + +She ran to them and took them by the hand. She led them back to their house. She was not happy. + +"You two are in big trouble. You disobeyed me and put yourselves in danger. You could have been hurt by the fire or the smoke or the truck. You have to listen to me and stay inside when I tell you. Do you understand?" She said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry and ashamed. + +They went back to Lily's room and saw their puzzle on the floor. It was unfinished and messy. Some pieces were missing or broken. They felt sad. + +They looked at each other and said nothing. There was silence in the room. They wished they could unite the puzzle and the old lady's house and make everything better. But they couldn't. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Lily liked to dance. She danced in the morning, she danced in the afternoon, she danced at night. She danced with her dolls, she danced with her dog, she danced with her mom and dad. She danced when she was happy, she danced when she was sad, she danced when she was bored. + +One day, Lily found a ball of wool in her mom's closet. It was soft and fluffy and colorful. Lily wanted to dance with the wool. She took it to her room and wrapped it around her arms and legs and neck. She felt like a rainbow sheep. She danced and danced and danced. + +But then, Lily felt something sour in her mouth. She had bitten the wool by mistake. It tasted bad and made her spit. She looked at the wool and saw that it was dirty and tangled and full of holes. She had ruined the wool. She felt sorry and sad. She stopped dancing. + +She ran to her mom and showed her the wool. She said she was sorry and asked if she could fix it. Her mom hugged her and said it was okay. She said the wool was old and not good for anything. She said she had a new ball of wool for her. It was soft and fluffy and colorful. She said she could use it to make something nice, like a scarf or a hat or a sweater. + +Lily smiled and said thank you. She said she liked to make things too. She asked her mom if she could teach her how to knit. Her mom said yes and took her to the couch. They sat together and knitted with the new wool. Lily learned how to make loops and stitches and patterns. She felt happy and proud. She danced with her fingers. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to make different shapes with the blocks. Lily makes a square, Ben makes a triangle, and they show each other their shapes. + +"Look, I made a square!" Lily says. "It has four sides and four corners." + +"Wow, that's a nice square!" Ben says. "I made a triangle. It has three sides and three corners." + +They both smile and clap their hands. They are proud of their shapes. + +Then they see a new block on the floor. It is yellow and has a hole in the middle. They wonder what shape it is. + +"Is it a circle?" Lily asks. + +"No, it's not a circle. A circle has no corners," Ben says. + +"Is it a star?" Lily asks. + +"No, it's not a star. A star has many points," Ben says. + +They are puzzled. They pick up the block and look at it closely. + +"Maybe it's a new shape," Lily says. "A shape we don't know yet." + +"Maybe we can make a new shape with it," Ben says. "Let's try!" + +They put the block on the table and try to fit other blocks around it. They try different ways, but none of them looks right. They are frustrated. + +"Maybe we need some help," Lily says. "Let's ask Mom." + +They take the block and run to the kitchen, where Mom is making cookies. They show her the block and ask her what shape it is. + +Mom looks at the block and smiles. She knows what shape it is. + +"That's a cute shape," she says. "It's a donut shape. It's a circle with a hole in the middle. You can eat it, but not this one. This one is for playing." + +She gives them each a real donut from the tray. They are happy and surprised. + +"Wow, a donut shape!" Lily says. "It's yummy and fun!" + +"Thank you, Mom!" Ben says. "You are the best!" + +They hug Mom and go back to their blocks. They put the donut shape on top of their other shapes and make a tower. They think it looks great. + +They eat their donuts and play with their blocks. They learn a new shape and have a good time. +Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big box under a tree. It was old and dusty. They opened the box and saw many things inside. + +"Look, Tom, a plane!" Lila said. She picked up a small metal plane with wings and a propeller. It looked ancient, like in a book. + +"Wow, can it fly?" Tom asked. He wanted to try the plane. + +"I don't know, let's test it!" Lila said. She threw the plane in the air and watched it spin and fall. + +"Oh, no, it doesn't fly!" Tom said. He ran to get the plane. + +"Maybe it needs something to make it fly," Lila said. She looked in the box and found a rubber band and a stick. She tied the rubber band to the propeller and the stick. She gave the stick to Tom. + +"Here, Tom, you hold the stick and I'll wind the propeller," Lila said. She twisted the propeller until the rubber band was tight. + +"OK, Lila, let it go!" Tom said. He held the stick firmly. + +Lila let go of the propeller and the plane zoomed out of Tom's hand. It flew high and fast in the sky. Lila and Tom clapped and cheered. + +"Yay, it flies, it flies!" Lila said. + +"It's amazing, Lila, you're so smart!" Tom said. + +They watched the plane fly until it landed on the other side of the park. They ran to get it and played with it again and again. They had so much fun with their ancient plane. +Ben and Lily like to play outside. They have a big yard with a swing and a slide. One day, they see a sign near the fence. The sign has a picture of a bike and an arrow. The sign says "Bike trail this way". + +"Let's go see the bike trail!" Ben says. He runs to the fence and opens the gate. Lily follows him. They see a dirt path that goes up and down. They see a big hill at the end of the path. + +"Wow, that looks fun!" Lily says. She has a pink bike with a basket and a bell. Ben has a blue bike with a horn and a light. They get on their bikes and start to pedal. + +They go fast on the path. They feel the wind in their hair. They go up and down the small hills. They laugh and shout. They are having a good time. + +They reach the big hill. It is very steep and smooth. Ben wants to go down the hill. He thinks it will be exciting. Lily is scared. She thinks it will be dangerous. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go down the hill!" Ben says. He pushes his bike to the edge of the hill. He looks down and smiles. + +"No, Ben, don't go! It's too high and fast!" Lily says. She stops her bike and holds the brakes. She looks down and cries. + +"Trust me, Lily, it will be fun!" Ben says. He lets go of the brakes and starts to roll down the hill. He feels the bike go faster and faster. He feels the bike shake and bounce. He tries to steer and slow down, but he can't. He sees a big rock in the middle of the hill. He screams. + +Lily hears Ben scream. She sees him hit the rock and fly off the bike. She sees him land on the ground and not move. She screams too. + +She runs down the hill to help him. She sees blood and dirt on his face and clothes. She sees his bike broken and twisted. She sees the sign near the fence. The sign has a picture of a bike and a red cross. The sign says "Bike trail closed. Danger. Do not enter". She cries and cries. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a big axe that their dad gave them to chop wood. They were very brave and strong. + +One day, they saw a big bear in the woods. The bear was hungry and angry. It roared at them and showed its sharp teeth. Tom and Sam were scared, but they did not run away. They held their axe and faced the bear. + +"Go away, bear!" Tom shouted. "This is our wood. You cannot have it!" + +The bear did not listen. It came closer and closer. Sam swung the axe at the bear, but he missed. The axe got stuck in a tree. The bear laughed and reached for Sam. + +"Help, Tom!" Sam cried. + +Tom did not know what to do. He looked around and saw a big rock. He picked it up and threw it at the bear. The rock hit the bear on the nose. The bear howled and ran away. + +Tom and Sam hugged each other. They were happy and relieved. They pulled the axe out of the tree and went back to their home. + +Their mom and dad were waiting for them. They saw the axe and the rock and asked them what happened. Tom and Sam told them about the bear and how they scared it away. + +Their mom and dad were very proud of them. They clapped their hands and said, "Well done, Tom and Sam! You are very brave and smart. You worked together and saved each other. You are good brothers!" + +Tom and Sam smiled and thanked their mom and dad. They learned that being brave is not enough. They also need to be smart and help each other. They also learned to respect the animals and not take their food. They decided to share some of their wood with the bear the next time they saw it. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big dog with black fur and sharp teeth. The dog was barking loud and running fast. Tom and Lily were scared. They ran to the bench where their mom was sitting. + +"Mom, mom, there is a fierce dog!" Tom cried. + +"Where is the dog, sweetie?" Mom asked. + +"Over there, mom, look!" Lily pointed. + +Mom looked and saw the dog. She saw that the dog had a collar and a leash. She also saw a man holding the leash. The man was looking for something in his pocket. + +"Don't worry, kids, the dog is not fierce. He is just excited. He is with his owner. See, the man has a leash. He is in control of the dog." Mom explained. + +"Are you sure, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, I am sure. Look, the man is waving at us. He is friendly. He wants to say hello." Mom said. + +The man waved and smiled. He took out a notebook from his pocket. He wrote something on it. He walked towards them with the dog. + +"Hello, I am sorry if my dog scared you. He is very playful, but he is not fierce. He is a good boy. His name is Rex." The man said. + +He showed them his notebook. It had a picture of a dog and the word "Rex". He also had a pen. + +"I am deaf. I can't hear. I use this notebook and this pen to talk to people. Do you want to try?" The man asked. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were curious. They took the notebook and the pen. They wrote their names and drew a smiley face. They gave the notebook back to the man. + +The man smiled. He wrote "Nice to meet you, Tom and Lily. You are very smart and kind." He gave the notebook to them. + +Tom and Lily smiled too. They said "Thank you" and "Nice to meet you too". They petted Rex. Rex licked their hands. He was not fierce. He was friendly. + +Mom watched them. She was proud of Tom and Lily. They learned something new. They made a new friend. She waved at the man. The man waved back. They said goodbye. Tom and Lily hugged Rex. They said goodbye too. They went back to play. They were happy. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play in the garden. They see a big pumpkin. It is orange and round. They want to make a face on it. + +They get a knife and a spoon. They ask Mom if they can use them. Mom says yes, but be careful. She says she will help them later. + +Sara and Tom go to the pumpkin. They cut a hole on the top. They scoop out the seeds and the pulp. They make a mess on the grass. + +They whisper to each other. They want to make a funny face. They cut two eyes, a nose and a mouth. They put the top back on. They are happy with their pumpkin. + +Mom comes to see them. She smiles at their pumpkin. She says it is very good. She says they have to tidy up the mess. She gives them a bag and a rake. Sara and Tom say sorry. They help Mom to clean the garden. They put the seeds and the pulp in the bag. They rake the grass. + +They take their pumpkin inside. They put a candle in it. They turn off the lights. They see their pumpkin glow. It looks spooky and silly. They laugh and hug Mom. They say they love their pumpkin. Mom says she loves them too. +Sam and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They had cars, dolls, blocks and books. They liked to make noises and stories with their toys. They were having fun. + +But their dad was working in his office. He had a lot of papers and a metal box that made sounds. He needed to finish his work. He did not like noises and stories. He wanted quiet. + +He came out of his office and said, "Sam and Mia, you are disturbing me. You are too loud. Go to your room and play there. And take your toys with you." + +Sam and Mia were sad. They did not want to go to their room. They liked the living room. They did not understand why their dad was angry. They said, "But dad, we are just playing. We are not disturbing you. We are sorry." + +Their dad did not listen. He said, "No, you are disturbing me. Go now. And don't come back until I say so." He pushed them to their room and closed the door. + +Sam and Mia cried. They did not have fun anymore. They did not like their dad. They wished he was glad. They wished he played with them. They wished he loved them. But he did not. He only loved his work. And his metal box. +Tom and Lily were playing a game of cards. They had to choose one card from their hand and put it on the table. The one with the highest card would win the round. The one who won the most rounds would get the victory. + +Tom was very good at the game. He knew which cards were high and which were low. He also paid attention to what cards Lily had played before. He wanted to win the game and get the victory. + +Lily was not so good at the game. She did not know which cards were high and which were low. She also did not pay attention to what cards Tom had played before. She just chose any card from her hand and put it on the table. She was careless. + +"Ha ha, I win again!" Tom said, as he put a king on the table. Lily had put a four. Tom took both cards and added them to his pile. He had many more cards than Lily. + +Lily felt sad. She did not like to lose. She wanted to win the game and get the victory. She looked at her hand. She had only one card left. It was a joker. She knew that a joker was a special card. It could be any card she wanted. She had an idea. + +"Tom, I have a surprise for you," Lily said, as she put the joker on the table. "This is not a joker. This is an ace. The highest card of all. I win this round. And I win the game. And I get the victory." + +Tom was shocked. He looked at the joker. He looked at his hand. He had no ace. He had no card higher than a joker. He had lost the round. He had lost the game. He had lost the victory. + +Lily smiled. She took the joker and added it to her pile. She had fewer cards than Tom, but she had the most important card. She had the joker. She had the victory. + +Tom felt angry. He did not like to lose. He thought that Lily had cheated. He thought that she had been careless. He said, "That's not fair. You can't do that. A joker is a joker. Not an ace. You can't change the rules. You can't win like that." + +Lily said, "Yes, I can. It's a game. It's fun. And I won. And you lost. And I get the victory. And you don't. Ha ha." + +Tom and Lily started to argue. They did not play anymore. They did not have fun anymore. They did not have the victory anymore. They had the fight. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they found a big jar of jelly in the sandbox. It was bright red and smelled sweet. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "Can we eat it?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it belongs to someone else." + +They looked around, but they did not see anyone. They decided to open the jar and try the jelly. It was sticky and yummy. They used their fingers to scoop it out and lick it. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" they said. + +They ate and ate until their faces and hands were covered in jelly. They felt happy and full. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, that's my jelly!" the voice said. "Give it back!" + +They turned around and saw a big boy standing behind them. He looked angry and mean. He had a backpack and a baseball cap. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. + +"I'm Max," the boy said. "I brought this jelly for my lunch. You stole it from me!" + +He reached out to grab the jar, but Lily and Ben held it tight. + +"No, it's ours!" they said. "We found it first!" + +They started to pull and tug on the jar. The jelly spilled out and splashed on the ground. They all got messy and sticky. + +"Stop it, stop it!" they heard another voice. "You're wasting the jelly!" + +They looked up and saw a little girl standing next to them. She had curly hair and a pink dress. She smiled and held out her hand. + +"Hi, I'm Mia," she said. "Can I have some jelly, please?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for being greedy and mean. They decided to share the jelly with Mia. + +"Sure, you can have some," they said. "Here, take this spoon." + +They gave Mia a spoon and some jelly. She thanked them and ate it happily. + +They all sat down and ate the jelly together. They talked and laughed and became friends. They learned to unite and share. They had fun with the bright jelly. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big pit in the park. The pit is full of mud and rocks. Ben and Sam think it is fun to drive their cars and trucks in the pit. + +"Look, Sam, I can make my truck go fast in the mud!" Ben says. + +"Me too, Ben, watch this!" Sam says. He makes his car jump over a rock. + +But then, Sam's car gets stuck in the mud. Sam tries to pull it out, but he can't. He feels sad. + +"Ben, help me, please! My car is stuck!" Sam says. + +Ben drives his truck to Sam's car. He tries to push it out, but he can't. He feels sorry. + +"Sam, I'm sorry, I can't help you. Your car is too stuck!" Ben says. + +They both sit in the pit and look at their cars. They don't know what to do. + +Then, they hear a voice. + +"Hello, boys, what are you doing in the pit?" The voice says. + +They look up and see a man. The man is wearing a hat and a tool belt. He has a friendly smile. + +"We are playing with our cars and trucks, but Sam's car is stuck in the mud. We can't get it out!" Ben says. + +The man nods and walks to the pit. He takes out a rope and a hook from his tool belt. He ties the rope to Sam's car and the hook to his truck. He starts his truck and pulls the rope. + +"Ready, boys? One, two, three!" The man says. + +He pulls the rope hard and Sam's car comes out of the mud. Sam and Ben cheer. + +"Yay, you fixed my car! Thank you, mister!" Sam says. + +"You're welcome, boys. I'm glad I could help. I'm a mechanic, I fix cars and trucks for a living. Do you like cars and trucks?" The man says. + +"Yes, we love cars and trucks! They are our favorite toys!" Ben says. + +The man smiles and gives them a high five. + +"That's great, boys. Cars and trucks are fun and useful. But remember, be careful when you play in the pit. It can be dangerous and dirty. Next time, find a safer and cleaner place to play, okay?" The man says. + +"Okay, mister, we will. Thank you for fixing Sam's car and for being friendly!" Ben says. + +The man waves and drives away. Sam and Ben pick up their cars and trucks and leave the pit. They look for a better place to play. They are happy and grateful. They are still friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big sign that said "Do not pick the flowers". Lily wanted to pick some flowers for her mom. She thought they were pretty and smelled good. + +"Come on, Ben, let's pick some flowers," she said. + +"No, Lily, we can't. The sign says no. It is bad to pick the flowers. They are for everyone to enjoy," Ben said. + +"But I want to give some to mom. She will be happy," Lily said. + +She did not listen to Ben. She ran to the flower bed and picked some flowers. She put them in her basket. Ben followed her. He was worried. + +Suddenly, a man came out of a small house near the flower bed. He was angry. He saw Lily and Ben with the flowers. + +"Hey, you two, what are you doing? You are not supposed to pick the flowers. The sign says no. Give them back to me right now," he said. + +He took the basket from Lily and threw the flowers on the ground. He scolded them and told them to go away. + +Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They ran back to their mom. Lily started to cry. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We picked some flowers for you, but a man took them away. He was mean and loud. He did not like us," she said. + +Mom hugged them and comforted them. She said, "It's okay, my loves. I know you meant well, but you have to follow the rules. The flowers belong to the park. They are not for picking. They are for everyone to see and smell. Next time, you can draw some flowers for me or make some with paper. I will love them just as much." + +She gave them some cookies and juice. They tasted sweet. They made Lily and Ben feel better. They learned their lesson. They did not pick the flowers again. They enjoyed the park and the sign. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the lake with their moms. The lake is big and blue. There are ducks and fish in the lake. + +Lily and Ben want to feed the ducks. They have some bread. They break the bread into small pieces. They throw the pieces into the water. The ducks swim to the bread. They quack and eat the bread. + +Lily is shy. She does not talk to the ducks. She just watches them. Ben is not shy. He talks to the ducks. He says, "Hello, ducks. Do you like the bread? It is yummy. My mom cooked it for me." + +One duck is shy too. It does not swim to the bread. It stays away from the other ducks. It looks at Ben. Ben sees the shy duck. He says, "Hello, shy duck. Why are you not eating the bread? Are you not hungry?" + +The shy duck does not answer. It just looks at Ben. Ben smiles. He says, "It is okay to be shy. I have a friend who is shy too. Her name is Lily. She is nice. Do you want to be friends with us?" + +The shy duck nods. It swims closer to Ben and Lily. Ben gives it some bread. The shy duck eats the bread. It quacks softly. Lily smiles too. She says, "Hello, shy duck. I am Lily. I am glad you are our friend." + +The shy duck, Lily and Ben are happy. They play and feed the ducks. Their moms watch them. They are proud of their children. They say, "What a nice day at the lake!" +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a toy car that he liked very much. Lily had a toy bunny that she loved very much. They were having fun, until Tom saw Lily's bunny and wanted to play with it. + +"Give me your bunny!" Tom said, and grabbed it from Lily's hands. + +"No, Tom, it's mine!" Lily said, and tried to get it back. + +But Tom was stronger, and he pulled the bunny so hard that its ear came off. Lily started to cry, and Tom threw the bunny on the floor. + +"That's a bad bunny, it has no ear!" Tom said, and laughed. + +Lily ran to her mom, who was in the kitchen. She showed her the bunny and told her what Tom did. + +"That's very rude, Tom!" Mom said, and went to the living room. She saw Tom playing with his car, and took it from him. + +"Hey, that's my car!" Tom said, and got angry. + +"Well, this is Lily's bunny, and you broke its ear. That's not nice, Tom. You have to say sorry to Lily, and help me repair the bunny." Mom said, and gave him a needle and some thread. + +Tom did not want to say sorry, or to repair the bunny. He wanted his car back. But Mom did not give it to him, until he did what she said. + +Tom and Mom sat down next to Lily, and Tom said sorry to her. He did not mean it, but he wanted his car. Then he helped Mom sew the ear back to the bunny. It was hard, and he poked his finger a few times. He did not like it, but he did it. + +When the bunny was fixed, Mom gave it back to Lily, and she hugged it. She was happy, and thanked Mom and Tom. + +"Here, Tom, you can have your car back. But remember, you have to be kind and share with your sister. And you have to be careful with other people's things. You don't like it when someone breaks your car, do you?" Mom said, and gave him his car. + +Tom took his car, and nodded. He learned his lesson. He did not want to be rude again. He played with his car, and sometimes he let Lily play with it too. And sometimes he played with Lily's bunny, and he was gentle with it. They were both happy, and Mom was proud of them. +Lila and Ben like to play hide and seek in the park. They run and laugh and look for each other. Sometimes they hide behind trees, sometimes under benches, sometimes in the slide. + +One day, they find a big tube in the park. It is brown and round and has a hole at each end. They wonder what it is for. Maybe it is a tunnel, maybe it is a snake, maybe it is a toy. + +"Let's hide in the tube!" says Lila. "It will be fun and hard to find!" + +"OK!" says Ben. "But you go first. I will count to ten and then look for you." + +Lila nods and crawls into the tube. It is dark and quiet and unknown inside. She feels scared, but she wants to be brave. She goes to the middle of the tube and waits. + +Ben counts to ten and then runs to the tube. He looks into the hole and sees nothing. He calls Lila's name, but hears no answer. He thinks Lila is hiding very well. He crawls into the tube and looks for her. + +He finds her in the middle of the tube. She is crying and shaking. She hugs him and says, "I don't like the tube. It is scary and unknown. I want to get out!" + +Ben hugs her back and says, "It's OK, Lila. I am here. We can get out together. The tube is not scary, it is just a tube. Maybe it is for water or air or something. Come on, let's go." + +They crawl out of the tube and run to the grass. They feel happy and safe again. They decide to play hide and seek somewhere else. They don't like the tube anymore. They like the trees and the benches and the slide. They are not unknown, they are fun. +Lila and Sam love to fly their kite. They have a big red kite with a long tail. They go to the park with Mom and Dad and let the kite fly high in the sky. They feel the wind pull the kite and they laugh. + +But one day, the wind is too strong. It is a wild wind that makes the trees shake and the leaves fly. Lila and Sam hold on to the kite, but the wind is stronger. The kite breaks free and flies away. Lila and Sam are sad. They lose their kite. + +They run after the kite, but they cannot catch it. The kite goes over the hills and far away. They ask Mom and Dad to help them. Mom and Dad say they will try to find the kite. They get in the car and drive after the kite. They search for the kite, but they cannot see it. + +They stop at a farm. They see a farmer and some cows and sheep. They ask the farmer if he has seen the kite. The farmer says yes. He says the kite landed in his field. He says he has the kite in his barn. He says he will give it back to Lila and Sam. + +Lila and Sam are happy. They thank the farmer and run to the barn. They see their kite. It is still big and red, but it has some holes and dirt. They don't mind. They hug their kite and say they are sorry. They say they will be more careful next time. They say they love their kite. The kite loves them too. +Tom and Lily were playing soccer in the park. They liked to kick the ball and run after it. They wanted to score goals and win the game. + +"Look, Lily, I have the ball!" Tom shouted. He ran towards the net and tried to shoot. But Lily was fast and she blocked him. + +"Ha, ha, you can't score, Tom!" Lily said. She took the ball and ran the other way. She was good at soccer and she wanted to score too. + +Tom chased her and tried to get the ball back. He was not happy that Lily stopped him. He wanted to score and win the game. + +But then he saw something blue in the sky. It was a big blue balloon. It was flying over the park and it looked very pretty. + +"Wow, Lily, look at the balloon!" Tom said. He stopped running and pointed at the sky. He liked balloons and he wanted to see it. + +Lily looked up and saw the balloon too. It was very big and blue and it had a smiley face on it. It looked very happy. + +"Wow, Tom, it's a nice balloon!" Lily said. She stopped running and smiled at the balloon. She liked balloons too and she wanted to see it. + +They forgot about the ball and the game. They ran to the balloon and waved at it. They wanted to say hello to the balloon. + +The balloon saw them and waved back. It was happy to see them too. It wanted to say hello to them. + +They became friends with the balloon. They played with it and had fun. They did not care about the score anymore. They only cared about the balloon. +Lily and Max are playing with their toys. They have many toys of different colors and shapes. Lily likes to sort her toys by color. She puts the red toys in one pile, the blue toys in another pile, and so on. Max likes to sort his toys by shape. He puts the round toys in one pile, the square toys in another pile, and so on. + +"Sorting is fun!" Lily says. "Look at my pretty piles of toys!" + +"Sorting is easy!" Max says. "Look at my neat piles of toys!" + +They are happy until they see each other's piles. Lily thinks Max's piles are messy. Max thinks Lily's piles are boring. + +"Your piles are wrong!" Lily says. "You should sort by color, not by shape!" + +"Your piles are silly!" Max says. "You should sort by shape, not by color!" + +They start to argue and grab each other's toys. They make a big mess. + +"Stop!" Mom says. She comes into the room and sees the toys all over the floor. "What are you doing?" + +"Lily and Max are not sorting right!" They both say. + +Mom sighs. She has an idea. She brings a big bucket of water and some cups. + +"Let's play a new game," she says. "Let's sort by water!" + +She shows them how to fill the cups with water and pour them into the bucket. She says they can sort by how much water they have, or how fast they can pour, or how high they can splash. + +Lily and Max think this is a fun game. They forget about their toys and start to play with the water. They laugh and splash and share their cups. + +"Sorting by water is fun!" Lily says. + +"Sorting by water is easy!" Max says. + +They are happy and Mom is happy too. She smiles and watches them play. She thinks sorting by water is a good way to make peace. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a big lawn with many flowers and trees. They also have a little dog named Spot. Spot likes to run and bark and chase the birds. + +One day, Tom and Sue are playing with Spot on the lawn. They throw a ball and Spot runs after it. He is very fast and happy. But then, he sees a big truck on the road. The truck is loud and scary. It makes a lot of noise and smoke. Spot does not like the truck. He starts to bark and growl at it. + +"Spot, come back!" Tom shouts. "The truck is not bad. It is just doing its job." + +But Spot does not listen. He runs to the fence and tries to bite the truck. He is very brave, but also very silly. The truck is too big and strong for him. The truck driver sees Spot and honks his horn. The horn is louder and scarier than the truck. Spot is afraid. He runs back to Tom and Sue. He whines and hides behind them. + +"Spot, it is okay," Sue says. "The truck is gone now. You are safe with us. We love you." + +She hugs Spot and gives him a treat. Spot licks her face and wags his tail. He is sorry for being naughty. He is glad to have Tom and Sue as his friends. They are the best. They play with him and take care of him. They have fun on the lawn. They are happy. +Anna likes to do yoga with her mom. Yoga is when you make shapes with your body and breathe slowly. Anna thinks yoga is fun and good for her. + +One day, Anna and her mom set up their yoga mats in the living room. They put on some soft music and started to do yoga. Anna followed her mom's moves and tried to be still and calm. + +But then, Anna's little brother Ben came into the room. He was noisy and curious. He wanted to play with Anna and her mom. He ran around the mats and tried to grab their feet and hands. He made funny noises and faces. + +Anna and her mom were not happy. They asked Ben to stop and leave them alone. They said they were doing yoga and he was bothering them. But Ben did not listen. He kept on playing and making noise. + +Anna was angry. She wanted to yell at Ben and push him away. But then, she remembered what her mom taught her. She said yoga is about being kind and peaceful. She said yoga helps you to be nice to yourself and others. + +So, Anna took a deep breath and smiled at Ben. She said, "Ben, do you want to do yoga with us? We can teach you some shapes and how to breathe. Yoga is fun and good for you." + +Ben was surprised. He stopped running and looked at Anna. He said, "Really? Can I do yoga with you?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, you can. Come here and sit on my mat. I will show you how to do yoga." + +Anna and her mom moved over and made some space for Ben. They helped him to do some simple yoga poses and to breathe slowly. Ben liked yoga. He said it was fun and relaxing. + +Anna and her mom were happy. They said they were proud of Ben for trying something new. They said they were glad to share yoga with him. They hugged and kissed him. + +They finished their yoga session and thanked each other. They felt good and peaceful. They said yoga is a kind thing to do. +Anna was very excited to see a big package on the porch. She ran to it and tried to open it, but it was too heavy and taped. She felt helpless and sad. She wanted to see what was inside the package. + +She heard her mom call her name from the kitchen. "Anna, come here, please. I have a surprise for you." + +Anna left the package and went to the kitchen. She saw a cake with candles and a big smile on her mom's face. "Happy birthday, Anna! This is your special day. Do you want to blow the candles and make a wish?" + +Anna was happy and forgot about the package. She blew the candles and hugged her mom. "Thank you, mom. I love you. What did you wish for?" + +Her mom winked at her and said, "You'll see. Let's go to the porch and open the package together. I think you'll like it." + +Anna and her mom went to the porch and opened the package. Inside was a big teddy bear with a bow and a card. The card said, "To Anna, from dad. I miss you and love you. I hope you enjoy your new friend." + +Anna was overjoyed and hugged the teddy bear. She felt a tear roll down her cheek. She missed her dad, who was away for work. She looked at her mom and said, "This is the best birthday ever. Thank you, mom and dad. I love you both." +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Lily found a big box on the shelf. It had a picture of a cake on it. + +"Look, Ben, we can make a cake!" Lily said. She opened the box and poured some white powder into a bowl. "We need to stir it with water and eggs," she read from the box. + +Ben got a cup of water and two eggs from the fridge. He cracked the eggs and poured them into the bowl. He gave Lily a big spoon to stir. "Stir, stir, stir," Lily sang as she mixed the powder, water and eggs. + +But something was wrong. The batter was not yellow like the picture. It was purple! Lily and Ben looked at each other. They saw a small bottle on the counter. It had a label that said "purple food coloring". + +"Oh no, we used the wrong water!" Ben said. "Mommy was making purple cupcakes for the party. She put the food coloring in the cup." + +Lily and Ben did not know what to do. They did not want to waste the batter. They decided to bake the cake anyway. Maybe it would taste good, even if it was purple. + +They poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. They set the timer and waited. They hoped Mommy would not be mad. + +When the timer beeped, they took out the cake. It smelled good, but it looked very strange. It was purple all over, with brown spots. + +Lily and Ben cut a slice and tasted it. It was sweet and moist, but it had a weird flavor. They did not like it very much. + +They heard Mommy coming home. They quickly hid the cake under a towel. They hoped she would not see it. + +"Hi, kids, I'm home!" Mommy said. "Did you have fun today?" + +"Yes, Mommy, we played in the kitchen," Lily said. + +"Did you make anything?" Mommy asked. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They wondered if Mommy would find the purple cake. They wondered if she would laugh or scold. They wondered if they would ever make a cake again. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and make things. One day, they decide to make a big world with their blocks. They start to put blocks on the floor and make houses, trees, cars and animals. + +"Look, this is my house. It has a door and a window and a roof," Tom says. + +"And this is my house. It has a garden and a swing and a fence," Mia says. + +They make more and more things with their blocks. They are happy and proud of their world. + +But then, their little brother Sam comes. He is only one year old. He does not know how to play with blocks. He sees the world and thinks it is fun. He crawls to the world and starts to knock down the blocks. He laughs and claps his hands. + +"Hey, stop! That is our world! You are breaking it!" Tom shouts. + +"Go away, Sam! You are not useful! You are naughty!" Mia cries. + +But Sam does not listen. He keeps knocking down the blocks. Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They try to stop Sam, but he is too fast and strong. He destroys their world. + +Tom and Mia start to cry. They hug each other and look at their broken world. They wish Sam would not do that. They wish he would learn how to play with blocks. They wish he would be useful and nice. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their dog, Spot. One day, they go to the park with Mom and Dad. They run, jump, slide and swing. Spot chases a ball and barks. + +"Look, Anna, look!" Ben says. He points to the sky. "The sun is going down. It is very pretty. It has many colors." + +Anna looks up. She sees red, orange, yellow, pink and purple. She smiles. "Yes, it is very pretty. It is a sunset. I like sunsets." + +Mom and Dad come to them. "It is time to go home, kids," Mom says. "It will be dark soon. We need to have dinner and go to bed." + +Anna and Ben nod. They are hungry and tired. They hug Spot and say goodbye to the park. Dad carries Spot in his arms. Mom holds Anna and Ben's hands. + +They walk to the car. The sky gets darker and darker. They see stars and the moon. Anna and Ben sing a song. They are happy. They had a fun day. +Anna and Ben are busy playing with their toys. They have a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. They do not want to stop and sleep. + +"Anna, Ben, it is time to sleep," Mom says. "You have to rest for tomorrow." + +"But Mom, we are not tired," Anna says. "We want to play more." + +"Me too," Ben says. "We have so many toys." + +Mom smiles and says, "I know, but you need to sleep. Sleeping is good for you. It makes you grow and learn. If you do not sleep, you will feel sick and grumpy." + +Anna and Ben do not like to feel sick and grumpy. They remember when they had a cold and had to stay in bed. They could not play or have fun. They felt very bad. + +"Okay, Mom, we will sleep," Anna says. "But can you read us a story first?" + +"Of course, I can," Mom says. "What story do you want to hear?" + +Anna and Ben think for a moment. They like many stories, but they have a favorite one. It is about a princess and a prince who have to fight a dragon that has poison in its teeth. + +"We want to hear the story of the poison dragon," Anna and Ben say together. + +Mom nods and says, "Alright, the story of the poison dragon it is. Come on, let's go to your room and get cozy." + +Anna and Ben follow Mom to their room. They put away their toys and get into their beds. Mom sits on a chair and opens the book. She starts to read the story of the poison dragon in a soft voice. Anna and Ben listen with their eyes wide open. They imagine the princess and the prince and the dragon and the poison. They feel excited and scared and happy. They forget that they are busy and that they do not want to sleep. They just want to hear the story. + +Soon, Mom finishes the story. She closes the book and says, "The end. Did you like the story?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, we liked it very much. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom smiles and says, "You are welcome, my loves. Now, it is time to sleep. Good night, Anna. Good night, Ben." + +She kisses them on their foreheads and turns off the light. She leaves the room and closes the door. + +Anna and Ben close their eyes and cuddle with their pillows. They feel warm and safe and happy. They think about the story of the poison dragon and how the princess and the prince won. They think about Mom and how she loves them. They think about tomorrow and how they will play again. They do not think about being busy or not wanting to sleep. They just sleep. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But Anna wanted to play in the sand too. She saw a big pile of sand near the fence. She ran to the sand and took off her shoes. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" Ben asked. He followed her to the sand. + +"I want to play in the sand. It feels good on my feet," Anna said. She dug a hole with her hands and filled it with sand. + +"But you can't take off your shoes. Mom said we have to keep them on. She will be upset if you lose them or get them dirty," Ben said. He looked around for their mom. She was sitting on a bench and reading a book. + +"Mom won't see. She is busy. And I won't lose them or get them dirty. I put them here," Anna said. She pointed to her shoes. They were on the ground next to the fence. + +But then a big dog came running to the sand. He saw Anna's shoes and thought they were toys. He grabbed one of them with his mouth and ran away. + +"Hey, that's my shoe! Give it back!" Anna shouted. She ran after the dog. Ben ran after her. + +"Mom, mom, help!" Ben yelled. He waved his arms to get their mom's attention. + +Mom looked up and saw Anna and Ben chasing the dog. She saw the other shoe on the ground. She understood what happened. She got up and ran to them. + +"Stop, stop, don't run after the dog. He might bite you. Come back here," Mom said. She caught up with Anna and Ben and hugged them. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to play in the sand. I didn't think the dog would take my shoe," Anna said. She was upset. She liked her shoes. They were pink and had flowers on them. + +"It's okay, Anna. I know you didn't mean to. But you have to listen to me. I didn't permit you to take off your shoes. It's not safe. You could hurt your feet or lose your shoes. Next time, please keep them on, okay?" Mom said. She was not angry, but she was worried. + +"Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I will keep them on next time," Anna said. She nodded. + +"Good. Now let's see if we can find your shoe. Maybe the dog dropped it somewhere. Or maybe someone saw him and can help us," Mom said. She smiled. + +"Okay, mom. Let's go," Ben said. He held Anna's hand. + +They walked around the park and looked for the shoe. They asked some people and some kids if they saw the dog or the shoe. They hoped they would find it soon. They still wanted to play in the park. But they also wanted to go home with both shoes. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some cups and spoons. They liked to pour the water on the grass and make mud pies. + +"Look, I made a cake!" Lily said, showing Ben her mud pie. "It has berries and leaves on top. Do you like it?" + +Ben nodded. He liked Lily's cake. He wanted to make one too. He took some mud and water and tried to shape it into a cake. But his cake was too wet and it fell apart. + +"Oh no, my cake is bad!" Ben said, feeling sad. "How do you make a good cake, Lily?" + +Lily smiled. She had an opinion. She knew how to make a good cake. She was useful. + +"You have to dry the mud a little bit," she said. "Not too much, or it will be hard. Just a little bit, so it will stick together. Like this." She showed Ben how to squeeze the water out of the mud and pat it into a cake. + +Ben watched and learned. He did what Lily did. He dried the mud a little bit and made a cake. His cake was good. It did not fall apart. He was happy. + +"Thank you, Lily!" he said. "You are a good friend. You helped me make a good cake. Can we share our cakes?" + +Lily nodded. She was happy too. She liked to share. She liked to help. She liked Ben. + +"Yes, we can share our cakes," she said. "But first, we have to wash our hands. They are very dirty." + +They laughed and ran to the faucet. They washed their hands and dried them with a towel. Then they went back to their cakes and ate them with their spoons. They pretended they were delicious. They had fun. They were friends. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors, but her favorite was pink. She drew flowers, hearts, and stars on her paper. She was very happy. + +But then she made a mistake. She drew a big line over her flower. She did not like it. She wanted to erase it. She looked for her eraser. It was a pink eraser. She liked it too. + +She found her eraser under her bed. But it was not alone. It was wrapped in a scarf. The scarf was blue and soft. Lily wondered who wrapped her eraser. She unwrapped it and held it in her hand. + +"Hello, Lily," a voice said. Lily looked around. She saw her teddy bear sitting on her pillow. He was smiling. He had a bow on his head. The bow was pink. + +"Hello, Teddy," Lily said. "Did you wrap my eraser?" + +"Yes, I did," Teddy said. "I wanted to give you a surprise. I know you like pink. And I know you like to draw. I thought you would like a pink eraser." + +Lily smiled. She hugged Teddy. She thanked him for the surprise. She said he was very kind and clever. She said she liked him very much. + +Then she used her pink eraser to erase the big line. She drew a new flower. She gave it to Teddy. She said it was for him. He said he liked it very much. + +They were very happy. They drew more pictures together. They used many colors. But they liked pink the best. +Anna and Ben like to play in the pool. They have a toy diamond that they throw in the water and then dive to get it. The diamond is shiny and pretty and makes them happy. + +One day, a big boy comes to the pool. He sees the diamond and wants it. He says, "Give me that diamond, it is mine!" Anna and Ben say, "No, it is ours, we found it!" The big boy does not listen. He grabs the diamond and runs away. + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They chase the big boy, but he is too fast. He runs to his house and locks the door. He looks at the diamond and smiles. He thinks he is clever and lucky. + +But the diamond is not happy. It does not like the big boy. It does not like his house. It does not like his hands. It misses Anna and Ben and the pool. It wants to be shiny and pretty and make them happy. So it does something magic. It changes its color. It becomes dull and gray and ugly. It looks like a rock. + +The big boy is shocked. He says, "What happened to the diamond? It is not shiny and pretty anymore! It is dull and ugly! I don't want it!" He throws the diamond out of the window. He does not care where it goes. + +The diamond flies in the air. It sees Anna and Ben walking by. It calls to them, "Anna! Ben! I am here! I am sorry! I want to go back to the pool with you!" Anna and Ben hear the diamond. They look up and see it. They catch it and hug it. They say, "Diamond! You are back! We are sorry! We want to go back to the pool with you!" + +The diamond is happy. It changes its color again. It becomes shiny and pretty and makes them happy. They run to the pool and throw the diamond in the water. They dive to get it. They play and laugh and have fun. They are friends again. The end. +Lily and Ben are having lunch with Mom. Mom made pasta with sauce for them. Lily likes sauce. She thinks it is sweet and yummy. Ben does not like sauce. He thinks it is yucky and sticky. + +"Ben, you have to eat your pasta with sauce. It is good for you," Mom says. + +"No, I don't want sauce. I want cheese," Ben says. + +"Cheese is good too, but you need to try new things. Sauce has tomatoes and carrots and herbs. They are healthy and tasty," Mom says. + +Lily listens to Mom. She wants to be healthy and tasty. She takes a big bite of her pasta with sauce. She smiles and says, "Mmm, sauce is good. I like sauce." + +Ben looks at Lily. He sees that she is happy and not sick. He wonders if sauce is really that bad. He listens to his tummy. He is hungry. He decides to try a little bit of his pasta with sauce. He takes a small bite and chews. He is surprised. He says, "Hey, sauce is not bad. It is sweet and soft. I like sauce too." + +Mom is proud of Lily and Ben. She says, "I'm glad you like sauce. You are both brave and smart. You can have some cheese too, if you want. But first, finish your pasta with sauce." + +Lily and Ben nod and eat their pasta with sauce. They are happy and full. They thank Mom for the lunch. They give her a hug and a kiss. Mom hugs and kisses them back. She says, "You are welcome. I love you both." +Tom and Lily like to play knights and dragons. Tom has a sword and a shield. Lily has a hat with horns and a tail. They run around the yard and pretend to fight. + +"Roar!" Lily says. "I am a big dragon. I will burn you with fire!" + +"No, you won't!" Tom says. "I am a brave knight. I will strike you with my sword!" + +Tom swings his sword at Lily. Lily dodges and tries to bite him with her teeth. Tom blocks her with his shield. They laugh and have fun. + +But then they see a new boy in the fence. He has a different hat and a different tail. He looks sad and lonely. + +"Who are you?" Tom asks. + +"I am Sam," the boy says. "I am a dinosaur. Can I play with you?" + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They think for a moment. Then they smile and nod. + +"Sure, you can play with us," Lily says. "You can be a dragon or a knight, or something else. We don't mind if you are different. We like to make new friends." + +Sam smiles and jumps over the fence. He joins Tom and Lily in their game. They run around the yard and pretend to fight. They roar and strike and block and laugh. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Max were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to pretend they were driving on the road and going to different places. Lily had a pink car and Max had a blue car. + +"Beep beep, I'm going to the park!" Lily said, zooming her car on the carpet. + +"Me too, me too!" Max said, following her with his car. "But you need a license to drive, Lily. Do you have one?" + +Lily stopped her car and looked at Max. She did not know what a license was. She shook her head. + +"No, I don't have a license. What is that?" + +Max smiled and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a piece of paper that had his name and a picture of him on it. He showed it to Lily. + +"This is a license. It says I can drive. Daddy gave it to me. He said it's very important and fragile. You can't drive without a license, Lily. It's the rule." + +Lily felt sad and jealous. She wanted a license too. She reached for Max's paper, but he pulled it away. + +"No, Lily, you can't have my license. It's mine. You have to get your own." + +Lily did not like that. She wanted to play with Max and his license. She tried to grab it again, but Max held it tight. They both started to struggle and tug on the paper. + +"Give it to me, Max! I want to see it!" + +"No, Lily, it's mine! Let go of it!" + +They pulled and pulled, but neither of them would let go. They did not hear their mommy coming into the room. She saw them fighting and frowned. + +"Hey, hey, what's going on here?" she asked, walking over to them. "Why are you two struggling?" + +They both looked up at her and stopped pulling. They saw that the paper was torn in half. They both gasped. + +"Oh no, Max, your license!" Lily said, feeling sorry. + +"Oh no, Lily, you broke it!" Max said, feeling angry. + +Mommy looked at the paper and sighed. She picked up the pieces and held them together. + +"Max, this is not a real license. It's just a drawing that daddy made for you. It's very nice, but it's not fragile. It's just paper. You don't need a license to play with your toy cars. And Lily, you don't need to be jealous of Max. You can play with him and share his license. Or you can make your own license with some crayons and paper. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Max looked at each other and nodded. They felt sorry for fighting and tearing the paper. They hugged and said sorry. + +"Sorry, Max. I didn't mean to break your license." + +"Sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to be mean to you." + +Mommy smiled and hugged them both. + +"That's okay, my loves. I'm glad you're friends again. Now, why don't you go and play nicely with your cars? And maybe later, we can all go to the park together. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Max smiled and agreed. They took their cars and went back to the carpet. They decided to make their own licenses and pretend they were going to the park. They had fun and did not struggle anymore. +Tom and his wife Ann like to swim in the lake. They swim every day when the sun is bright and warm. They wear swimsuits that are red and blue. They splash water at each other and laugh. + +One day, they see a big fish in the lake. The fish is shiny and has many colors. Tom and Ann think the fish is attractive. They swim closer to the fish and say hello. The fish says hello back and smiles. + +The fish asks Tom and Ann if they want to play with him. They say yes and follow the fish. The fish shows them many things in the lake. He shows them rocks, plants, and other fish. Tom and Ann have fun with the fish. They thank the fish for being their friend. + +Tom and Ann swim back to the shore. They dry themselves with towels and hug each other. They are happy and love each other. They say goodbye to the fish and go home. They plan to swim again tomorrow and see the fish. They are a happy couple. +Sam and Lily are friends. They like to play with cars. Sam has a red car. Lily has a blue car. They make zoom sounds when they move the cars. + +One day, a new boy comes to play. His name is Ben. He has a big yellow car. He says, "My car is the best. It is faster and louder than your cars. You have ugly cars. I own this car. You can't touch it." + +Sam and Lily feel sad. They don't like Ben. He is mean and rude. They say, "We don't want to play with you. You are not nice. We like our cars. They are not ugly. They are fun and pretty. We own our cars. You can't have them." + +Ben gets angry. He tries to grab Sam's car. Sam holds on tight. He says, "No, this is my car. You can't take it. Go away." Ben pushes Sam. Sam falls down. He cries. + +Lily runs to Sam. She helps him up. She says, "Are you okay, Sam? Don't worry. I'm here. Ben is a bully. He can't hurt us. We are friends. We have each other. And we have our cars. They make us happy. They go zoom, zoom, zoom." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It is brown and has a lot of tape on it. + +"What is in the box?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it!" Ben says. + +They try to pull the tape, but it is too strong. They try to rip the box, but it is too hard. They try to shake the box, but it is too heavy. + +"Maybe we can push the box," Lily says. + +They push the box together. It moves a little bit. They push harder. It moves more. They push with all their might. The box slides across the floor and hits the wall. It makes a loud noise. + +"Oops!" Ben says. + +They hear footsteps. It is Lily's mom. She comes into the garage and sees the box. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. + +"We wanted to see what is in the box," Lily says. + +"That is a wrap for your dad's birthday. It is a surprise. You can't open it," Lily's mom says. + +She is not angry, but she is not happy either. She picks up the box and puts it on a shelf. + +"Sorry, mom," Lily says. + +"It's okay. I know you were curious. But you have to wait until his birthday. He will love his wrap. It is a reliable wrap. It can do many things," Lily's mom says. + +"Like what?" Ben asks. + +"You will see. Now, why don't you play with something else? I have some cookies in the kitchen. Do you want some?" Lily's mom says. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say. + +They follow Lily's mom to the kitchen. They forget about the box. They eat cookies and drink milk. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a vendor with a big cart. The vendor had many things to sell: ice cream, popcorn, candy, and more. + +"Can we have some ice cream, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, sweetie. What flavor do you want?" Mom said. + +"I want chocolate. And I want to add sprinkles!" Lily said. + +"I want vanilla. And I want to add nuts!" Ben said. + +Mom gave the vendor some money. The vendor was gentle and kind. He scooped the ice cream and added the toppings. He gave Lily and Ben their cones. + +"Thank you, vendor!" Lily and Ben said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy your ice cream!" the vendor said. + +Lily and Ben licked their ice cream. They smiled and shared with Mom. They were happy and full. They thanked Mom for the treat. + +The end. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big dog with a chain around its neck. The dog is barking and jumping. Sara and Ben are scared of the dog. They run away from the dog. + +The dog's owner is a mean man. He does not like children. He does not take care of his dog. His dog is smelly and hungry. He pulls the chain and makes the dog follow him. He sees Sara and Ben running away. He laughs and says, "You are silly. My dog is friendly. He just wants to play." + +Sara and Ben find a small house in the park. It is a playhouse for children. They go inside the house and shut the door. They hope the dog and the man will go away. They are still scared. + +The dog and the man come to the house. The dog smells Sara and Ben inside. He scratches the door and tries to open it. The man says, "Open the door, you cowards. Let my dog in. He will not hurt you. He will lick you and wag his tail." + +Sara and Ben do not believe the man. They do not want to open the door. They do not want to play with the dog. They think the dog is smelly and scary. They think the man is mean and rude. They say, "No, thank you. We do not want to play with you. Go away. Leave us alone." + +The man gets angry. He kicks the door and shouts, "Open the door, or I will break it. You are bad children. You are rude and selfish. You do not know how to share and be nice." + +Sara and Ben are very scared. They cry and hug each other. They wish someone would help them. They wish the dog and the man would leave them alone. + +A lady hears the noise. She is a teacher. She is walking with her students in the park. She sees the dog and the man at the house. She sees Sara and Ben inside. She knows something is wrong. She runs to the house and says, "Stop it. What are you doing? Why are you bothering these children?" + +The man says, "They are my children. They are naughty. They do not want to play with my dog. They are hiding in the house. They need to learn a lesson." + +The lady says, "They are not your children. I know them. They are in my class. They are good children. They are scared of your dog. Your dog is smelly and loud. You are mean and cruel. You need to leave them alone." + +The man says, "You are lying. You are nosy. You do not know anything. Go away. Mind your own business." + +The lady says, "No, I will not go away. I will call the police. You are breaking the law. You are hurting these children. You are abusing your dog. You need to go away." + +The man sees the lady's phone. He is afraid of the police. He knows he is wrong. He runs away with his dog. He pulls the chain and makes the dog follow him. He does not laugh anymore. He does not say anything. + +The lady opens the door. She sees Sara and Ben. They are crying and shaking. She hugs them and says, "It's okay. You are safe. You are brave. You did the right thing. You did not open the door. You did not trust the man. You did not play with the dog. You are smart and kind." + +Sara and Ben stop crying. They smile and say, "Thank you. You are nice. You are helpful. You saved us. You are our hero." + +The lady says, "You are welcome. You are my students. You are my friends. I care about you. I am proud of you." + +The lady takes Sara and Ben to their parents. She tells them what happened. The parents are shocked and angry. They thank the lady. They hug Sara and Ben. They say, "We love you. We are glad you are okay. You are amazing. You are strong." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful of strangers. They learned to stick together. They learned to say no to bad things. They learned to ask for help. They learned to be good. +Lila was a guard. She had to watch the big gate every day. She did not like her job. It was boring and lonely. She wanted to travel and see new things. + +One day, a man came to the gate. He had a big bag and a funny hat. He smiled at Lila and said, "Hello, little guard. Do you want to see what I have in my bag?" + +Lila was curious. She nodded and said, "Yes, please." + +The man opened his bag and showed Lila many things. He had a ball, a doll, a book, a map, and a ticket. He said, "These are things I use to travel. I go to many places and have fun. Do you want to come with me?" + +Lila was tempted. She wanted to travel and have fun too. She looked at the gate and then at the man. She said, "But I have to guard the gate. It is my job." + +The man said, "Don't worry. I have a friend who can guard the gate for you. He is very good and loyal. He will not let anyone in or out. He is a dog." + +Lila looked at the dog. He was big and furry. He wagged his tail and barked. He seemed friendly and happy. Lila said, "Are you sure he can guard the gate?" + +The man said, "Of course. He is the best guard ever. Trust me. Come on, let's go. We have a train to catch." + +Lila hesitated. She liked the dog, but she was not sure about the man. She wondered if he was telling the truth. She wondered if he was a good or a bad person. She wondered what would happen if she left the gate. She wondered what would happen if she stayed. She had to make a choice. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They make noise and have fun. + +One night, Mom says, "It is time for bed. You have to leave your toys and go to sleep." Tim and Sam do not want to leave their toys. They want to play more. + +"Please, Mom, can we play a little more?" they ask. + +"No, you have to sleep. It is late and dark. You need to rest. Tomorrow you can play again." Mom says. She gives them a hug and a kiss. She turns off the light and leaves the room. + +Tim and Sam are in their beds. They are not sleepy. They are scared. It is dark and quiet. They cannot see their toys. They hear strange noises. + +"Tim, are you awake?" Sam whispers. + +"Yes, I am. I do not like the dark and the quiet. I want Mom." Tim whispers back. + +"Me too. I want Mom. Can we call her?" Sam says. + +They call Mom. "Mom, Mom, we are scared. Can you come back?" + +Mom hears them. She comes back to the room. She turns on the light. She sees Tim and Sam. They are crying. + +"What is wrong, my boys? Why are you scared?" Mom asks. + +"We do not like the dark and the quiet. We want to see our toys. We want to hear your voice." Tim and Sam say. + +Mom hugs them. She says, "I am sorry, my boys. I did not know you were scared. The dark and the quiet are not bad. They are good for sleeping. Your toys are still here. They are sleeping too. And I am always here. You can hear my voice. I love you." + +She sings them a song. She strokes their hair. She makes them feel safe. She turns off the light. She leaves the room. + +Tim and Sam are in their beds. They are not scared. They are sleepy. They close their eyes. They dream of their toys. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are hungry. They want to eat pizza for dinner. They go to the kitchen and ask Mom. + +"Mom, can we have pizza, please?" Tom says. + +"Sorry, kids, we don't have pizza today. We have soup and bread," Mom says. + +Tom and Lily do not like soup and bread. They make a sad face. + +"Please, Mom, we really want pizza. Can we order some?" Lily says. + +Mom thinks for a moment. She looks at the clock. It is almost dark outside. + +"Okay, fine. We can order some pizza. But you have to eat some soup and bread first. And you have to help me set the table and clean up," Mom says. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They nod and say thank you. They eat some soup and bread quickly. Then they help Mom set the table and clean up. They wait for the pizza to come. + +Soon, they hear a knock on the door. It is the pizza man. He has a big box of pizza. Mom pays him and takes the box. She opens it and shows Tom and Lily. + +"Look, kids, your pizza is here. It has cheese and pepperoni and mushrooms. It smells good. Do you want some?" Mom says. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily say. They grab a slice each and bite into it. It is hot and yummy. They smile and say mmm. + +Mom smiles too. She takes a slice and joins them. They eat the pizza together and talk about their day. They are full and happy. They love pizza. And they love Mom. +Tom and Lily liked to play near the factory. The factory made big things from metal and wood. Sometimes, they saw workers come and go with trucks and tools. They wanted to see what was inside the factory, but they knew it was not safe. + +One day, they saw a hole in the fence around the factory. They looked at each other and smiled. They wanted to have a peek. They crawled through the hole and ran towards the big building. They heard loud noises and saw sparks and smoke. They felt scared, but also curious. + +They found a door that was open. They sneaked inside and saw many machines and pipes. They also saw some workers, but they hid behind some boxes. They saw a big table with many sharp things on it. They looked like knives and scissors. Tom wanted to touch them, but Lily stopped him. + +"Tom, no! Those are sharp! They can hurt you!" Lily whispered. + +"But they look shiny and cool. I want to see how they feel." Tom said. + +He reached for a sharp thing, but before he could grab it, a worker saw them and shouted. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing here? This is not a place for kids! Get out of here, now!" + +Tom and Lily were very scared. They dropped the sharp thing and ran away. They ran back to the hole in the fence and crawled through. They ran all the way home and did not stop until they were safe. + +They learned their lesson. They never went near the factory again. They knew it was a wild and dangerous place. They played with their toys and books instead. They were happy and safe. +Lily liked to write poems. She had a book with many poems that she made with her mom. She used words that rhymed and made her happy. She liked to read her poems to her teddy bear and her doll. + +One day, she found a purple crayon in her room. She thought it was a magic crayon. She wanted to write a new poem with it. She took her book and the crayon and went to the table. She opened the book and wrote with the crayon. + +But something strange happened. The book started to shrink. It became smaller and smaller until it was as small as a coin. Lily was scared. She tried to pick up the book, but it was too tiny. She could not see her poems anymore. She cried. + +Mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the purple crayon and the tiny book. She knew it was a magic crayon. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. I can fix this. We just need to use the magic word." + +She took the crayon and wrote on the table, "Grow, grow, grow!" She said the word three times. The book started to grow. It became bigger and bigger until it was as big as before. Lily was happy. She hugged her mom and thanked her. She said, "I love you, mom. You are the best." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are very clever. But be careful with the magic crayon. It can do many things. Only use it when you really need it." + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will. Can I read you my poems now?" + +Mom said, "Of course, Lily. I would love to hear your poems. They are very beautiful." + +They sat on the couch and read the poems together. They laughed and sang and had fun. Lily was happy. She liked to write poems. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in Lily's house. Lily's house is blue and big. Lily's mom is nice. She gives them juice and cookies. + +One day, Lily and Tom want to play outside. They see a big ball in the yard. They want to kick the ball and run. But Lily's mom says no. She says it is too hot and they need to stay inside. + +Lily and Tom are sad. They do not want to stay inside. They want to have fun. They have an idea. They see a window in Lily's room. The window is open. They can escape! + +They go to Lily's room. They climb on the bed. They look out the window. They see the ball. They see the grass. They see the flowers. They smile. + +They jump out the window. They land on the ground. They are happy. They run to the ball. They kick the ball and laugh. + +But Lily's mom sees them. She is angry. She goes out the door. She calls them. She says they are naughty. She says they need to come back inside. + +Lily and Tom are scared. They do not want to go back inside. They do not want to be in trouble. They run away. They hide behind a tree. + +They hope Lily's mom will not find them. They hope they can play outside more. They hope they can escape again. +Lily and her mom moved to a new house far away from the city. Lily liked the big yard and the friendly dog next door, but she missed her old friends and the purple park. She missed the swings and the slides and the sandbox where she played with them. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, I have a surprise for you. We are going to visit the city for the weekend. We can see your friends and go to the purple park. How do you feel?" + +Lily felt happy and excited. She said, "Yay! I can't wait to see the city and the purple park and my friends. Thank you, mom. You are the best." + +They packed their bags and got in the car. Lily looked out the window and saw the trees and the fields and the cows. She liked the country, but she also liked the city. She wondered what her friends were doing and if they missed her too. + +Soon, they arrived at the city. Lily saw the tall buildings and the busy streets and the bright lights. She saw the purple park and her friends waiting for her. They ran to hug her and said, "Lily, we missed you so much. We are so happy to see you. Come and play with us." + +Lily smiled and said, "I missed you too. I am so happy to see you. Let's go and play." She followed them to the swings and the slides and the sandbox. She had fun with her friends and her mom. She loved the city and the purple park. She was glad she could visit them. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big motorcycle in the parking lot. It is shiny and red. It has a loud sound. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily says. "I want to ride it!" + +"Me too!" Ben says. "Let's go and touch it!" + +They run to the motorcycle. They touch the wheels, the seat, the handlebars. They pretend to drive it. They make vroom-vroom noises. + +But then, a man comes out of the shop. He is angry. He sees the twins on his motorcycle. + +"Hey, get off my bike!" he yells. "This is my expensive motorcycle! You can't play with it!" + +He grabs Lily and Ben by their arms. He pulls them off the bike. He scolds them. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They start to cry. + +"Sorry, mister!" Lily says. "We just wanted to have fun!" + +"Yeah, sorry!" Ben says. "We didn't know it was yours!" + +The man is still angry. He tells them to go away. He says they are naughty. + +Lily and Ben run back to their mom. They hug her. They tell her what happened. + +Mom is sad. She says they should not touch other people's things. She says they should ask before they play. She says they should say sorry again. + +Lily and Ben nod. They feel bad. They want to make the man happy. + +They go back to the motorcycle. They see the man. He is still mad. + +"Excuse me, mister," Lily says. "We are very sorry. We didn't mean to hurt your motorcycle." + +"Yes, we are sorry," Ben says. "We like your motorcycle. It is very cool." + +The man looks at them. He sees their sad faces. He feels a little sorry too. + +He sighs. He says, "It's okay. I forgive you. But don't do it again. This is my spring motorcycle. I only ride it when it is warm and sunny. It is very special to me." + +He smiles. He says, "Do you want to see how it works? I can show you some things. But you have to be careful. And you have to listen to me." + +Lily and Ben smile too. They say, "Yes, please! Thank you, mister!" + +They follow the man. He shows them the motorcycle. He tells them about the engine, the brakes, the lights. He lets them sit on it. He turns it on. He makes it roar. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They learn a lot. They say thank you again. + +The man is happy too. He says, "You're welcome. You are good kids. Maybe one day, you can have your own motorcycle. But for now, you can play with your bikes. They are fun too." + +Lily and Ben agree. They say goodbye to the man. They go back to their mom. They tell her what they learned. They say they are sorry again. + +Mom is proud.

Tim and the cat are friends. The end. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big stone with many ants on it. Lila wanted to see the ants closer. She put her hand on the stone and leaned over. + +"Look, Ben, the ants are so busy!" she said. "They are carrying things and digging holes. What are they doing?" + +Ben came closer and looked too. He saw some shiny things in the ants' mouths. He put his finger on one of them and picked it up. It was a small coin with a picture on it. + +"Wow, Lila, look at this!" he said. "This is an ancient coin. It is very old and rare. Maybe the ants found a treasure under the stone!" + +Lila was amazed. She put her finger on another coin and picked it up too. It had a different picture on it. She wondered who made the coins and why they were under the stone. + +"Maybe someone hid them here a long time ago," she said. "Maybe they were afraid of robbers or monsters. Maybe they forgot where they put them." + +Ben nodded. He put the coin in his pocket and looked for more. He wanted to find out more about the ancient coins and the ants. + +"Let's take some of them home and show them to mom and dad," he said. "Maybe they know more about them. Maybe they are worth a lot of money." + +Lila agreed. She put the coin in her pocket too and followed Ben. They left the stone and the ants behind. They did not know that the ants were angry.

I like it, it's pretty." + +Sara was angry and wanted to grab the kite, but her dad stopped her. He said, "Sara, be nice. The boy didn't know it was yours. He was just having fun. Maybe you can share the kite with him. He was generous to let you play with it." + +Sara thought about it. She remembered how much she loved to soar with her kite. She also remembered how sad she was when she lost it. She didn't want the boy to feel the same way. She said, "Okay, I'll share. But you have to be careful with it. It's my favorite kite." + +The boy nodded and said, "Thank you, Sara. You're very kind. I'll be careful with it. Do you want to play with me?" Sara smiled and said, "Yes, let's play.

They both shouted and fought. + +Mom heard the noise and she came in. She saw Max and Lily and she was very cross. She said, "Stop, Max and Lily, this is not how you behave.

He likes to sing songs with his guitar. He sings about his toys, his friends, and his cat. + +One day, Tom's mom asks him to stop playing. She says it is time for lunch. Tom does not want to stop. He says he is not hungry. He wants to play more. + +Mom says, "Tom, you need to eat. You can play later. Come to the table, please." + +Tom does not reply. He keeps playing his guitar. He sings louder and louder. He thinks mom will not hear him. + +Mom is not happy. She goes to Tom's room. She sees him playing his guitar. She says, "Tom, I asked you to come to the table. Why did you not reply?" + +Tom looks at mom. He says, "Sorry, mom. I did not hear you. I was having fun with my guitar. Can I play a little more?" + +Mom says, "No, Tom. You need to eat now. You can play after lunch. Put your guitar away and come with me." + +Tom is sad. He likes his guitar. He does not want to put it away. But he knows mom is right. He says, "OK, mom. I will come. But can I play my guitar later?" + +Mom says, "Yes, Tom. You can play your guitar later. But only if you eat your lunch and behave like a normal boy." + +Tom nods. He puts his guitar away. He follows mom to the table. He hopes lunch will be quick. He wants to play his guitar again. He loves his guitar. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to act like animals and make noises. Tom was a lion and Lily was a bird. They ran and jumped and roared and chirped. + +"Look, there is a hedge!" Lily said. "Let's hide behind it and act like we are in the jungle." + +"OK, let's go!" Tom said. They ran to the hedge and crawled under it. It was dark and green and prickly. They could hear other animals outside. + +"Shh, be quiet, or they will find us!" Tom whispered. He acted like he was sniffing the air for danger. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud bark. It was Rex, the old dog. He had seen them run to the hedge and followed them. He wanted to play too. + +"Whoof, whoof, whoof!" Rex barked. He pushed his nose into the hedge and wagged his tail. + +"Ah, it's Rex!" Lily screamed. She acted like she was scared and flew out of the hedge. + +"Roar, roar, roar!" Tom growled. He acted like he was brave and faced Rex. + +Rex licked Tom's face and wagged his tail harder. He was happy to see them. + +"Hi, Rex!" Tom said. He laughed and hugged Rex. "You are a good dog, but you are not a jungle animal. You are an old friend." + +Lily came back and joined them. She smiled and petted Rex. "You are right, Tom. Rex is an old friend. And we are all animals who like to play and act." +Lila and Ben like to play music. They have a big box with many things. They have a guitar, a drum, a flute and a microphone. The microphone is shiny and makes their voices loud. + +One day, they decide to play a song for their mom. Lila picks up the guitar and Ben picks up the drum. They start to sing and play. But they do not sound good. They sound noisy and messy. + +"Stop, stop!" Lila says. "We need to practice more. You are too lazy, Ben. You do not hit the drum right. You hit it too slow or too fast." + +"I am not lazy!" Ben says. "You are too bossy, Lila. You do not play the guitar well. You play it too loud or too soft." + +They start to argue and fight. They do not listen to each other. They do not have fun. + +Their mom hears them and comes to see. She sees them angry and sad. She has an idea. She picks up the microphone and says: + +"Hello, hello! This is mom. I have a game for you. Do you want to play?" + +Lila and Ben stop and look at her. They nod their heads. + +"OK, here is the game. You have to spin around and then sing or play something. The faster you spin, the sillier you sound. The slower you spin, the prettier you sound. Do you understand?" + +They nod their heads again. + +"Good. Who wants to go first?" + +Lila raises her hand. She takes the microphone and spins around very fast. She stops and sings: + +"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!" + +But she sounds funny. She sounds like a mouse. She giggles. Ben giggles. Mom giggles. + +"Good job, Lila!" Mom says. "Now it is Ben's turn." + +Ben takes the drum and spins around very slow. He stops and plays: + +"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!" + +But he sounds nice. He sounds like a lion. He smiles. Lila smiles. Mom smiles. + +"Good job, Ben!" Mom says. "Now you can play together. But remember, you have to spin first. And you have to listen to each other. Can you do that?" + +They nod their heads. They spin and play and sing. They sound better and better. They have fun. + +Mom claps and cheers. She is happy. She says: + +"You are very good, Lila and Ben. You are not lazy or bossy. You are smart and kind. I love you very much." + +They hug her and say: + +"We love you too, mom. Thank you for the game. Can we play again?" + +"Of course you can," Mom says. "But first, let's have some cookies. You must be hungry after all that spinning." + +They run to the kitchen. They eat cookies and drink milk. They are happy. They are a family. +Tim and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. Tim liked the lions best, because they roared loud. Lily liked the monkeys best, because they swung from trees. + +Then they came to the otter pool. The otters were brown and furry, and they swam and played in the water. Tim and Lily watched them with big eyes. They saw one otter slide down a rock and splash into the pool. They saw another otter catch a fish and eat it. They saw a third otter carry a shiny stone in its mouth. + +"Look, Mom, look!" Lily said. "The otter has a stone!" + +"Yes, dear, it does," Mom said. "Some otters like to collect stones and other things. They are very smart animals." + +"Can I have a stone, too?" Tim asked. + +"Sure, honey, you can," Dad said. He picked up a small, clear stone from the ground and gave it to Tim. "Here you go. It's a pretty stone." + +Tim smiled and held the stone in his hand. He felt its smoothness and saw its sparkle. He wanted to show it to the otter. He walked to the edge of the pool and waved the stone at the otter. + +"Hello, otter!" he said. "Look at my stone! Do you like it?" + +The otter looked at Tim and saw the stone. It tilted its head and made a squeaky sound. Then it swam closer to Tim and reached out its paw. It wanted to touch the stone. + +"Be careful, Tim," Mom said. "Don't get too close to the water. The otter might bite you." + +Tim nodded and moved back a little. He still held the stone, but he did not let the otter touch it. He said, "Sorry, otter. This is my stone. You have your own stone." + +The otter made another squeaky sound. It looked sad and turned away. It swam back to its friends and joined them in their games. + +Tim felt sorry for the otter, too. He wished he could share his stone with it. He said, "Bye, otter. Maybe next time we can play together." + +Then he heard a loud sound. It was the zookeeper. He was blowing a whistle and calling the otters. He said, "Come on, otters. It's time for your snack. Follow me." + +The otters heard the whistle and the voice. They stopped playing and swam to the zookeeper. They followed him to a big bucket full of fish. They lined up and waited for their turn. + +"Look, Lily, look!" Tim said. "The otters are marching!" + +"Yes, they are," Lily said. "They are marching to get their fish. They are hungry." + +Tim and Lily watched the otters march and eat. They clapped their hands and laughed. They liked the otters very much. They said, "Thank you, otters, for the fun. We hope to see you again." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have a big box of toys. They share the toys and have fun. + +One day, Anna and Ben find a new toy in the box. It is a shiny car. It has four wheels and a horn. Anna and Ben both want the car. They grab the car and pull it. + +"Mine!" Anna says. + +"No, mine!" Ben says. + +They pull harder and harder. The car breaks. The wheels fall off and the horn makes a loud noise. Anna and Ben are sad and angry. + +They go to see Mom. Mom is in the kitchen. She is working. She is making a cake. She sees Anna and Ben with the broken car. + +"What happened?" Mom asks. + +"Anna broke the car!" Ben says. + +"No, Ben broke the car!" Anna says. + +Mom sighs. She puts down the cake. She sits down with Anna and Ben. + +"Listen, children," Mom says. "You have to learn to share. Sharing is good. Sharing is a law. A law is a rule that everyone follows. If you follow the law, you are good. If you break the law, you are bad. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They feel sorry. + +"Can we fix the car?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe," Mom says. "But you have to work together. Working is when you do something hard or useful. Working is good. Working makes you happy. Do you want to work together?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They want to work together. They want to fix the car. + +Mom helps them. She finds some glue and some tape. She shows them how to stick the wheels and the horn back on the car. Anna and Ben work together. They take turns and help each other. They fix the car. + +"Wow!" Anna says. + +"Yay!" Ben says. + +They hug Mom. They hug each other. They are happy. + +"Thank you, Mom," Anna says. + +"Thank you, Mom," Ben says. + +"You're welcome, children," Mom says. "You did a good job. You followed the law. You worked together. You are lucky. Lucky is when good things happen to you. You are lucky to have each other. You are lucky to have the car. You are lucky to have the cake. Do you want some cake?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They want some cake. They smile. + +"Yes, please!" Anna says. + +"Yes, please!" Ben says. + +Mom cuts the cake. She gives them each a big slice. They eat the cake. They enjoy the cake. They play with the car. They share the car. They have fun. + +The end. +Lily and Ben like to play in the yard. They have a swing and a slide and a big tree. One day, they see a rope on the tree. They think it is a fun toy. + +"Let's hang on the rope!" Lily says. She runs to the rope and grabs it. She swings back and forth and laughs. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He runs after Lily and tries to grab the rope. But he is too careless. He does not look where he is going. He bumps into Lily and they both fall down. + +"Ow!" Lily says. She has a scratch on her knee. "That hurts!" + +"Sorry!" Ben says. He has a bump on his head. "Are you okay?" + +They hug each other and say they are sorry. They go to their mom and show her their boo-boos. She gives them a kiss and a band-aid and tells them to be careful. + +They say thank you and go back to the yard. They decide to play with the swing and the slide instead. They have fun and are happy. They do not hang on the rope anymore. +Anna and Ben went to the museum with their mom. They liked to see the big animals and the old things. They also liked to play with the buttons and levers that made sounds and lights. + +But mom said they had to be quiet and careful, because the museum was not a playground. She said some of the things were very old and could break easily. She said they had to respect the people who worked there and the other visitors who wanted to learn. + +Anna and Ben tried to listen, but they were bored and curious. They saw a big car that looked like a train. It had a sign that said "Do not touch". But Anna and Ben wanted to touch it. They waited until mom was looking at something else, and they ran to the car. + +They climbed inside and found a lot of buttons and levers. They started to push and pull them, and the car made a lot of noise. It honked and whistled and rattled. Anna and Ben laughed and shouted. They did not hear mom calling them. + +They did not see the man who worked at the museum running to them. They did not see the other visitors staring at them. They did not see the big sign that said "Danger". They did not see the wall behind them. + +They pulled the lever that said "reverse". The car moved backwards. It crashed into the wall. The wall broke. The car broke. The museum broke. Anna and Ben cried. Mom cried. The man who worked at the museum cried. The other visitors cried. + +The end. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box near the slide. They run to the box and open it. Inside, they find many toys: dolls, cars, balls, books and more. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Sara says. "They are so pretty and fun!" + +"Who left them here?" Tom asks. "Maybe someone forgot them." + +"Or maybe someone gave them to us!" Sara says. "Maybe they are a gift!" + +They start to take out the toys and play with them. They have a lot of fun. They spring on the balls, they drive the cars, they read the books and they dress the dolls. + +After a while, a man comes to the park. He looks at the box and the toys. He looks angry. He walks to Sara and Tom. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my toys?" he says. "These are mine! I was going to sell them at the market. They have a lot of value!" + +Sara and Tom are scared. They drop the toys and back away. + +"We are sorry, sir," Sara says. "We did not know they were yours. We thought they were a gift." + +"A gift? Don't be silly!" the man says. "These are not for you. These are for people who have money. Now give them back to me!" + +He starts to put the toys back in the box. He does not care if he breaks them or makes them dirty. He just wants to get them back. + +Sara and Tom feel sad. They liked the toys. They thought they were special. But now they see that the man does not care about the toys. He only cares about the value. + +They look at each other. They have an idea. They run to the slide. They climb to the top. They wait for the man to finish. + +When the man is done, he closes the box. He tries to lift it. But it is too heavy. He grunts and groans. He can not move it. + +Sara and Tom smile. They spring from the slide. They land on the box. They make a big hole in it. The toys fall out. They scatter everywhere. + +The man is shocked. He yells and curses. He tries to catch the toys. But he can not. They are too many. They are too fast. + +Sara and Tom laugh. They pick up the toys they like. They run away. They find a clear spot in the park. They play with the toys. They share them with other children. They have a lot of fun. + +They do not care about the value. They care about the joy. +Jill and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were in a spaceship. They used the sofa as the cockpit and the lamp as the switch. They made noises like rockets and lasers. + +But Mom was in the kitchen. She was making a lovely cake for Dad's birthday. She did not like the noises Jill and Tom were making. She told them to be quiet or they would spoil the cake. + +Jill and Tom did not listen. They kept playing and making noises. They thought Mom was being mean. They wanted to have fun. + +Mom got angry. She came to the living room. She saw Jill and Tom playing with the lamp. She yelled at them. She said they were naughty and careless. She said they could break the lamp and hurt themselves. + +Jill and Tom got scared. They stopped playing. They said they were sorry. But it was too late. Mom grabbed the lamp and pulled the cord. She wanted to take it away from them. + +But the cord was loose. It came out of the wall. There was a spark and a bang. The lamp exploded. The glass shattered. The cake burned. The smoke alarm went off. + +Mom, Jill and Tom screamed. They ran out of the house. They waited for the fire truck. They were sad and sorry. They ruined Dad's birthday. They wished they had listened to Mom. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big, shiny rock on the ground. Sara picked it up and said, "Look, Tom, I found a diamond!" + +Tom looked at the rock and said, "That's not a diamond, Sara, that's just a rock. Diamonds are very rare and very expensive. You can't find them in the park." + +Sara felt sad and angry. She said, "No, Tom, you are wrong. This is a diamond and it's mine. I will keep it and show it to Mommy and Daddy. They will be very happy and proud of me." + +Tom said, "Fine, Sara, keep your rock. But I dare you to go to the jewelry store and ask them if it's a diamond. They will tell you the truth and you will see that I'm right." + +Sara said, "OK, Tom, I will go to the jewelry store and ask them. I'm not afraid. I know it's a diamond and they will say so too." + +Sara and Tom walked to the jewelry store. It was open and they went inside. There were many shiny things in the store. Sara saw a lady behind a counter. She walked up to her and said, "Hello, lady, can you help me? I found this diamond in the park and I want to know how much it's worth." + +The lady looked at the rock and smiled. She said, "Hello, little girl, what a nice rock you have. But I'm sorry to tell you that it's not a diamond. It's just a piece of glass. Diamonds are very different from glass. They are harder, clearer, and more sparkly. Do you want to see some diamonds?" + +Sara felt very disappointed and embarrassed. She said, "No, thank you, lady, I don't want to see any diamonds. I want to go home now." She gave the rock back to the lady and ran out of the store. Tom followed her and said, "I told you, Sara, it was not a diamond. It was just a rock. You should have listened to me." + +Sara said, "I'm sorry, Tom, you were right. It was not a diamond. It was just a rock. But it was still a pretty rock and I liked it. Can we still be friends?" + +Tom said, "Of course, Sara, we can still be friends. It doesn't matter if it was a diamond or a rock. What matters is that we have fun together. Come on, let's go back to the park and play some more." +Tim and Lily liked to play near the lake. They saw many fish and ducks and frogs in the water. Sometimes they threw stones and watched the ripples. But their mom always told them to be careful and not go too close to the edge. + +One day, Tim found a big, heavy stone. He wanted to see how far he could throw it. He lifted it with both hands and ran towards the lake. Lily saw him and shouted, "Stop, Tim! That stone is too heavy for you! You will fall in the lake!" + +But Tim did not listen. He threw the stone with all his might. But the stone was so heavy that it pulled him down with it. He lost his balance and fell into the water. Splash! + +Lily was scared. She ran to the edge and looked for Tim. She saw him struggling and gasping. She cried, "Help, help! Tim is in the lake!" + +Luckily, their mom heard her and came running. She jumped into the lake and grabbed Tim. She pulled him out and hugged him. She was angry and relieved. She said, "Tim, you were very foolish and naughty. You did not listen to me or Lily. You could have drowned in the lake. You must never do that again. Do you understand?" + +Tim was wet and cold and sorry. He nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I won't do that again." + +Lily hugged him too and said, "I'm glad you're okay, Tim. I love you." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you both. Now let's go home and get dry and warm. And remember, always be careful and listen to each other when you play near the lake." + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your mom and your sister. They know what is best for you. And don't play with things that are too heavy for you. They can hurt you or make you fall. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily was a large doll with a pretty dress and a crown. Sara liked to pretend that Lily was a queen and she was her friend. + +One day, Sara and Lily were playing in the garden. Sara saw some flowers and picked them. She wanted to make a necklace for Lily. She said, "Lily, you are a good queen. I will make you a necklace with these flowers. It will be very pretty." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. I will make you a necklace too. Wait here, I will be back soon." Lily went to the house and looked for something to make a necklace. She saw a string of pearls on her mother's dresser. She thought they were very pretty and shiny. She took them and ran back to the garden. + +Sara was waiting for Lily. She saw her coming with something in her hand. She said, "Lily, what did you make for me?" Lily showed her the string of pearls. She said, "I made you a necklace with these pearls. They are very pretty and shiny. You will look like a princess." + +Sara gasped and said, "Lily, those are not yours. Those are mommy's pearls. She loves them very much. You can't take them. You have to give them back." Lily frowned and said, "But I made them for you. I wanted to make you happy. They are mine now. I don't want to give them back." + +Sara and Lily started to argue. They pulled the string of pearls from each other. They did not see the cat that was watching them. The cat liked shiny things. He jumped and grabbed the string of pearls with his teeth. He ran away with them. + +Sara and Lily stopped arguing. They saw the cat running away with the pearls. They cried and said, "Oh no! The cat took the pearls. Mommy will be very angry. What will we do?" They ran after the cat, but he was too fast. They lost him. + +Sara and Lily were very sad. They hugged each other and said, "We are sorry. We were not good friends. We should not have fought over the pearls. We should have shared the flowers. We should have listened to each other." They went back to the house and told their mother what happened. Their mother was not happy, but she forgave them. She said, "I'm glad you told me the truth. I'm glad you learned your lesson. I love you both. Now, let's go and look for the cat. Maybe we can get the pearls back." Sara and Lily nodded and said, "We love you too, mommy. Thank you for being a good queen." They went to look for the cat with their mother. They hoped they would find him and the pearls. They hoped they would be good friends again. +Jill loves to skip with her pet dog, Spot. They skip in the park, they skip in the yard, they skip on the road. Jill and Spot are happy when they skip. + +One day, Jill and Spot see a big truck on the road. The truck is loud and fast. Jill and Spot want to skip to the other side of the road. Jill says, "Come on, Spot, let's skip to the other side. It will be fun." + +But Spot is scared of the truck. He barks and pulls on his leash. He does not want to skip to the other side. He wants to stay on the safe side. He says, "Woof, woof, no, Jill, no. The truck is bad. The truck can hurt us. Let's stay here." + +Jill does not listen to Spot. She thinks Spot is silly. She says, "Don't be a baby, Spot. The truck will not hurt us. We are fast and smart. We can skip to the other side. Come on, Spot, let's go." + +Jill lets go of the leash and runs to the road. She tries to skip to the other side. But the truck is faster and louder. The truck does not see Jill. The truck hits Jill. Jill falls down. Jill does not get up. Jill is gone. + +Spot runs to Jill. He licks her face. He whines and cries. He says, "Woof, woof, Jill, Jill, wake up. I'm sorry, Jill. I love you, Jill. Please, Jill, wake up." + +But Jill does not wake up. Jill is gone. Spot is alone. Spot is sad. Spot is sour. +Once upon a time, there was a little kitten named Mittens. Mittens was very small and cute. One day, Mittens was playing with his toys when he saw a big bowl of milk. Mittens wanted to drink the milk, but he was too small to reach the bowl. + +Mittens asked his mommy to help him, but she was ignorant and didn't understand what he wanted. So, Mittens went to his daddy and asked him to help. His daddy picked him up and put him on the table. Mittens was so happy and drank all the milk he wanted. + +After drinking the milk, Mittens felt very heavy. His daddy picked him up again and asked, "Mittens, how much do you weigh now?"

She had long, curly hair that she loved to brush. One day, Lily's mommy said to her, "Lily, would you like to hang up your coat in the closet?" + +Lily replied, "Yes, mommy!" She took off her coat and hung it up on the hook. Then, she looked in the mirror and saw that her hair was a mess. "Oh no!" she said. "My hair is all tangled!" + +"Don't worry, sweetie," her mommy said. "Just take a deep breath and stay calm. I will help you brush your hair until it's nice and smooth." And so, Lily sat still while her mommy gently brushed her hair. Soon, it was all neat and tidy again. "Thank you, mommy!"

Every day, he got up early to work in his garden. He planted rows and rows of delicious vegetables and harvested them with care. Each vegetable was carefully weighed, so the farmer could know how much he could sell. + +The farmer was always generous with his vegetables and gave some away to his neighbors. They thanked him very much and were so happy to have the fresh produce from his garden. + +The farmer never stopped working in his garden.

He always liked to take his bone along with him, as it reminded him of his childhood. One day he was taking a stroll and he noticed a small 3 year old girl. + +"Hello girl," he said. "What are you doing out here all alone?" + +The small girl pointed to the bone in the elderly man's hand and said: "I mind my own bone. Where did you find it?" + +The man smiled and said: "I've had it a long time. It was a gift from my grandmother when I was a little boy. In fact, it will soon be yours." + +He leaned down and put the bone in the little girl's hand. "This is for you, for when you grow old too." With that, he continued on his walk. + +The little girl was overjoyed and she treasured the bone always. Over the years, it grew with her and eventually she found out why the elderly man had given it to her in the first place. When she got older, it was a symbol of all the wisdom, patience and understanding he had imparted on her when she was small. +Once upon a time, there was a stubborn cat. The cat always liked to climb on the furniture, but couldn't because the cushions were kept very neat and clean. One day, the cat's owner was cleaning the living room, and found an old buckle on the floor. Thinking the cat might like to play with the buckle, she put it on the cushions. + +The cat was curious and crept closer. The buckle sparkled in the light and soon the cat was playing with it and making a mess. The cat's owner was worried, but couldn't get the cat to move away from the buckle. She knew that if she was too firm it would only make the cat more stubborn. + +Finally, she had an idea. She went and found some string, and wound it around the buckle, securing it like a toy. This worked! The cat didn't want to let go of the buckle, and so the cat always kept the cushion neat and clean when the toy was nearby. The cat was happy and the cushion stayed clean. +The sun was shining and it was a cool day. Mommy and Daddy went out for a walk. They went past the hedge and saw a lot of birds on it. Each of them had beautiful colors. + +Mommy and Daddy pointed at the birds and said, "How cool!"

Soon, the birds flew to their garden and started to eat the food. Mommy and Daddy had lots of fun watching the birds. + +The birds stayed in Mommy and Daddy's garden until it got dark. Then, they flew back to the hedge. Mommy and Daddy said, "Bye birds! See you soon!" +Once there was a little girl called Julia. Julia liked to walk around the park. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining. + +Julia decided to stop and listen. She heard something. It was a bird singing a gentle song. Julia closed her eyes and listened - she loved the sound of the bird's voice. + +Then she heard another sound - it was louder and it got louder as Julia walked a little further. She stopped and listened carefully. It sounded like a rumbling. Suddenly, she realised it was coming from her own chest! It was her lungs - taking deep breaths of fresh air. + +Julia smiled, feeling lucky to be able to breathe in the fresh air. She continued her gentle walk around the park, feeling happy and content. +One morning, a little girl named Michelle woke up very early. She was so excited that she decided to take a walk in the woods. As she walked, she saw something that made her stop. It was a fat, juicy steak! She wanted to take it home and eat it. + +She grabbed the steak and started walking home. But suddenly, a big, scary monster appeared from behind a tree! The monster started to scream very loudly. Michelle was so scared that she dropped the steak, and started running away. + +Back home, Michelle told her mother about the monster. Her mother warned Michelle not to go back to the woods. But Michelle wanted to get the steak, so she decided to go back the next day. + +The next day, Michelle was ready. She marched into the woods and the monster was waiting for her! This time, the monster didn't scream. But Michelle was still scared. She reached out to grab the steak, and the monster didn't do anything.

He touched the food and took a bite. But then the mouse noticed that the food had started to rot. The mouse was sad and realized that he shouldn't ever touch food he didn't know + +The moral of the story is that it's important not to touch things you don't know. It may seem safe at first, but in the end, it might not. And sometimes things that seem delicious can rot. So it's best to play it safe and never touch things you don't know! +Once upon a time, there was a boy called Sam. He was three years old, and he loved playing outside. + +Today he was playing with his baseball.

So he put the baseball down, smiled and said "OK". + +He waved goodbye to his baseball and ran inside to see Mum. +One day, Grandma had made a pot of delicious soup. But Grandma was deaf, so she couldn't hear when the kettle started whistling. This caused a delay and the soup got very hot! + +Little Tommy was very hungry, and couldn't wait to taste the soup.

And, even though she got a little scared, she was glad she had the courage to save the landscape. +Once there was a graceful butterfly who loved to flutter in the meadow. One day, when she was flying around, she sneezed and her tummy began to hurt. Worried, she found the wise old owl who sat in the woods. + +The old owl told her that she should not fly too hard, but instead take breaks and rest her stomach. As she listened, the butterfly learned that she must take care of her body so she can keep flying gracefully. She thanked the wise owl and made sure to follow his advice. + +The butterfly now flies easier and takes breaks to rest. She knows that if she takes care of her body, it will take care of her. This is the moral of the story: take good care of your body and it will take good care of you. +Once upon a time there was an elderly couple who lived in a small town called Oakcoast. Every year they looked forward to a festival that came to town. + +The couple was filled with excitement as they walked through the streets of town.

Can you help me?" + +The couple felt glad that they could help and so, together, they pushed the man up to the top of the float. From here he could see the whole festival. + +"Thanks for helping me," the man said. "It feels wonderful to have finally reached the top." + +The elderly couple smiled, happy to have made the man's day. Then they continued walking, looking forward to the rest of the festival. +Once upon a time there was a thin gorilla. He wanted to play and have fun, so each day he would search for something new and exciting. + +One day, he found an old temple hidden in the forest. He wanted to explore it, so he slowly walked through the grand doorway and knelt down inside. Inside the temple were giant carvings of tigers and elephants, and the walls were painted with bright colors. + +The gorilla was fascinated by the temple and soon found a statue at the very end. It was a beautiful golden statue of a sturdy gorilla, and he knew he had found something special. He knelt down and bowed his head in admiration for the statue. + +Suddenly, the statue moved! The gorilla jumped back and the golden statue began to speak. It said, “The temple is now yours to explore. I am here to protect this sacred place, so you must be careful.†The gorilla bowed again in awe, and thanked the statue for its kindness. + +He spent the rest of the day exploring the temple and making new discoveries.

She opened the cupboard door and found many interesting things inside. She was so excited to explore! + +But her mom saw her and was not happy. She had to punish the little girl for not listening. The girl was upset and cried as she was sent to her room. + +The little girl learned her lesson and stayed away from the cupboard for good. She was still adventurous, just not when it came to the cupboard. +Once upon a time there was a little fox. He was always excited to explore his wide world. He decided to look around and explore.

Suddenly, the fox bumped into the tree and fell to the ground. He was so sad and scared. + +But then, he remembered the wise words of his mother. She told him to always pay attention to his surroundings, no matter how fast he was moving. The fox realized that he had been too distracted by the speed of his running and had not paid attention to his surroundings. With a heavy heart, he went home. + +The fox got his lesson that day. We must never forget to guess our surroundings, no matter how wide or fast we are moving. +Once upon a time, there was a little lamb who loved to complain. Whenever the other animals were having fun, the lamb would just stand back and complain about everything. + +One day, the lamb was feeling extra grumpy and spotted a pile of wool.

Now it couldn't feel the wind, but it felt very comfortable so it just continued to make a lot of noise and complain. + +When the other animals saw what the lamb was up to, they decided to give it a lesson and so they all gathered together angry. They then began to shout at the lamb, calling it names and saying very harsh things. + +The lamb started to feel very scared and it was too scared to move. It stayed wrapped up in the wool for many days and eventually it died of fear. And since then, the other animals haven't let any animal complain too much. +Once there were two friends, a butterfly and a bee. They were walking through the forest when the bee suddenly noticed a tough bow in the ground. + +The butterfly asked the bee, "What is that bow doing in the ground?" + +The bee replied, "Let's find out!" + +So the two friends decided to investigate the bow. They began to tug on the bow but it wouldn't budge. It was just too tough. After they had tried their hardest, they finally realised why the bow was so tough. + +They had been trying to pull it up with their hands when they suddenly realised that if they worked together they could move it.

They protected the file. +Lily and Tom were playing with blocks. They liked to make towers and bridges and houses. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +Lily found a gray block that was a circle. She liked it very much. She wanted to fill her tower with gray circles. She looked for more gray circles, but she could not find any. + +She saw that Tom had some gray circles in his bridge. She went to him and said, "Give me your gray circles. I need them for my tower." + +Tom said, "No, Lily. These are my gray circles. I need them for my bridge. You can have some other blocks." + +Lily did not listen. She grabbed some gray circles from Tom's bridge and ran away. Tom was angry and sad. His bridge fell down. + +Lily tried to put the gray circles on her tower, but they did not fit well. They rolled off and made her tower fall down too. Lily was angry and sad. She had no tower and no gray circles. + +She looked at Tom and saw that he was building a new bridge with other blocks. He had some blue squares, some yellow triangles, and some green stars. His bridge was colorful and strong. + +Lily felt sorry. She went to Tom and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was wrong. I should not have taken your gray circles. Can we be friends again?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Yes, Lily. We can be friends again. Do you want to help me with my bridge?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Tom. I want to help you with your bridge. And I want to share my blocks with you." + +They hugged and played together. They learned that it is not nice to take things from others, and that it is better to share and cooperate. They had more fun with different blocks than with only gray circles. +Lily was very happy. She was going on a trip with her mom and dad. They were going to visit her grandma and grandpa, who lived far away. Lily loved her grandma and grandpa. They always had fun stories and games for her. + +Lily packed her bag with her favorite things. She had her teddy bear, her crayons, her books, and her hat. She also had a special gift for her grandma and grandpa. She had made them a picture with her crayons. She had drawn a big heart and wrote "I love you" with her mom's help. + +When they got to the airport, Lily saw a big plane. She was a little scared, but her mom and dad held her hand. They said the plane would take them to grandma and grandpa's house. Lily was curious. She looked out the window and saw the clouds and the sky. + +After a long time, the plane landed. Lily was tired, but excited. She saw her grandma and grandpa waiting for them. They had big smiles and hugs. They said, "Welcome, Lily! We are so happy to see you!" + +Lily ran to them and gave them her picture. She said, "This is for you. I made it with my crayons. Do you like it?" + +Grandma and grandpa looked at the picture and said, "We love it, Lily! You are so gifted. You have made us very happy. Thank you for your wonderful gift!" + +Lily felt warm and happy. She knew she was going to have a great trip with her family. She said, "You're welcome, grandma and grandpa. I love you too!" +Tom and Sue were playing with snow in the yard. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Sue said. + +"Yes, he is. But we have to go inside soon. It is very cold." Tom said. + +They went inside and had some hot cocoa. They looked out the window and saw their snowman. + +"Uh-oh, what is happening to our snowman?" Sue asked. + +"He is melting!" Tom said. "The sun is making him melt. He is turning into water." + +"Will he be gone?" Sue asked. + +"Yes, he will. But don't be sad. We can make another one when it snows again." Tom said. + +They watched as their snowman melted and dripped on the ground. They saw some gas coming out of his hat. + +"What is that?" Sue asked. + +"That is steam. It is water that is very hot. It goes up in the air." Tom said. + +"Is it like a cloud?" Sue asked. + +"Yes, it is. But it is very dull. It has no color." Tom said. + +They finished their cocoa and went to play with their toys. They said goodbye to their snowman and hoped to see him again. +Tom and Sam were friends. They lived in a village near the big river. They liked to play with their boats on the water. One day, Tom had a new boat. It was red and shiny and fast. Sam wanted to play with it too. + +"Can you lend me your boat, Tom?" Sam asked. + +"No, it is mine. You have your own boat," Tom said. + +"But mine is old and slow and boring. Please, Tom, let me try your boat," Sam begged. + +Tom thought for a moment. He liked his boat very much, but he also liked his friend. He decided to be nice and share. + +"Okay, Sam, you can play with my boat. But be careful. Don't break it or lose it," Tom said. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I will be careful," Sam said. + +Sam took the boat and ran to the water. He put the boat on the river and watched it go. It was red and shiny and fast. He was very happy. He pushed the boat harder and harder. He wanted to see how fast it could go. + +But he was not careful. He did not see the big rock in the water. The boat hit the rock and broke. Sam was very sad. He picked up the pieces and ran back to Tom. + +"Tom, Tom, I'm sorry. I broke your boat. It was an accident. I was stupid," Sam said. + +Tom saw his boat. It was red and shiny and fast. But now it was also broken and useless. He was very angry. He did not want to share his boat. He wanted to have it back. + +"Sam, Sam, you are a bad friend. You broke my boat. It was not an accident. You were stupid. You can't play with my boat anymore. Go away," Tom said. + +Sam felt very bad. He wanted to say sorry again. He wanted to fix the boat. He wanted to be friends with Tom. But Tom did not listen. He turned away and walked home. He took his boat with him. + +Sam was alone. He had no boat and no friend. He cried. He wished he had been more careful. He wished he had not been stupid. He wished he had not asked to play with Tom's boat. +Anna was very happy today. She had a new friend at school. Her name was Lily. Lily had curly hair and a big smile. Anna liked to play with Lily. + +At lunchtime, Anna and Lily sat together. They had sandwiches and juice. Anna saw something shiny in Lily's mouth. It was a tooth. Lily had a loose tooth. She showed Anna how she could wiggle it with her tongue. + +Anna was amazed. She had never seen a loose tooth before. She asked Lily, "Does it hurt?" + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, it doesn't hurt. It feels funny. My mom says I will get a new tooth soon. And the tooth fairy will come and give me a coin." + +Anna wanted to know more. She asked, "Who is the tooth fairy?" + +Lily explained, "The tooth fairy is a nice fairy who likes teeth. She comes at night when you are sleeping. She takes your tooth and leaves a coin under your pillow. She is very quiet and soft. You can't see her or hear her. But she is always there to welcome your new tooth." + +Anna thought that was very cool. She wished she had a loose tooth too. She said, "I hope the tooth fairy comes to you soon. And I hope you get a big coin." + +Lily smiled and hugged Anna. She said, "Thank you. You are a good friend. I like you a lot." + +Anna hugged her back. She said, "You are welcome. I like you too. You are my best friend." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big tiger. The tiger is soft and orange and black. It has a long tail and sharp teeth. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing with the tiger in their room. They make the tiger roar and jump and run. They have fun. But then, Lily has an idea. She wants to make the tiger shiny. She sees a bottle of polish on the shelf. She takes the bottle and a cloth. She says to Ben, "I will polish the tiger. It will look nice." + +Ben does not like Lily's idea. He says, "No, Lily. Do not polish the tiger. It will be sticky and smelly. The tiger is good as it is." He tries to take the bottle from Lily, but Lily holds it tight. They pull and tug and shout. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees Lily and Ben fighting over the bottle. She sees the tiger on the floor. She is not happy. She says, "Lily, Ben, stop! What are you doing? Why are you making such a mess?" + +Lily and Ben stop. They look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to play with the tiger. Lily wanted to polish it. Ben did not want to. We argued." + +Mom says, "I understand. But you should not use polish on the tiger. It is not good for the tiger or for you. And you should not fight with each other. You should share and be kind. The tiger is your friend. You should take care of it." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We are sorry. We will not use polish on the tiger. We will share and be kind. We love the tiger. We love each other." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. Now, clean up the mess. Then, you can play with the tiger again. But be quiet. Dad is sleeping." + +Lily and Ben say, "OK, Mom." They clean up the mess. They hug the tiger. They play with it quietly. They are happy. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the yard. They have a ball, a bike, and a doll. They take turns with the toys. + +One day, a big dog comes to the yard. The dog is thin and hungry. He sees the ball and runs to get it. He bites the ball and makes a hole. The air comes out of the ball. The ball is flat. + +"Hey, that is our ball!" Tim says. He is angry. He tries to get the ball from the dog. The dog growls and shows his teeth. He does not want to give the ball. + +"Tim, be careful!" Mia says. She is scared. She runs to the house. She calls for help. "Mom, dad, there is a big dog in the yard! He took our ball!" + +Mom and dad hear Mia. They come to the yard. They see the dog and the ball. They are not happy. They tell the dog to go away. The dog is afraid. He drops the ball and runs. He jumps over the fence and leaves. + +Tim and Mia are safe. They hug mom and dad. They are sad about the ball. Mom and dad say they will get a new ball. They tell Tim and Mia to close the gate next time. They do not want the dog to come back. They go inside the house. They have a snack and a drink. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. Lily saw a big swing and wanted to try it. She ran to the swing and sat on it. She pushed with her feet and went higher and higher. + +Ben saw Lily on the swing and felt angry. He wanted to swing too. He ran to the swing and tried to grab it. But Lily was swinging too fast. Ben missed the swing and fell on the ground. He hurt his toe and started to cry. + +Lily heard Ben crying and stopped swinging. She jumped off the swing and ran to Ben. She saw his toe was red and bleeding. She felt sorry for Ben and wanted to help him. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't see you. Are you okay?" + +Ben looked at Lily and saw her compassionate face. He felt a little better. He said, "It's okay, Lily. It was my fault. I should have waited for my turn. But my toe hurts a lot." + +Lily said, "Let me see your toe. Maybe I can prevent it from getting worse. I have a band-aid in my backpack. Come on, let's go to the bench and put it on your toe." + +Lily and Ben walked to the bench and Lily took out her band-aid. She gently wrapped it around Ben's toe and gave him a hug. Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily said, "Of course, Ben. We are always friends. Do you want to play something else?" + +Ben said, "Yes, Lily. How about we play on the slide?" + +Lily said, "That sounds fun. Let's go!" + +Lily and Ben held hands and ran to the slide. They forgot about their fight and had a good time. They learned to share and care for each other. They were happy and compassionate friends. +Lily and Ben were friends who lived in the same town. They liked to play together and share their toys. One day, they decided to go to the park and have a picnic. They packed some yummy sandwiches, fruits and cookies in their backpacks. + +When they got to the park, they saw a little dog who looked sad and hungry. He had no collar and no home. Lily and Ben felt sorry for him and wanted to help him. They gave him some of their food and water and petted him gently. The dog wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was very happy and grateful. + +"Can we keep him, please?" Lily asked Ben. "He needs a family who cares for him." + +"I don't know, Lily. We have to ask our parents first. Maybe they will say no. And we don't have a name for him." Ben said. + +"How about Spot? He has a big black spot on his back." Lily suggested. + +"I like Spot. He is a good name for him." Ben agreed. + +They took Spot with them and went back to their homes. They asked their parents if they could keep him. Their parents were surprised, but they saw how much Lily and Ben loved Spot and how well they took care of him. They said yes, but only if they promised to be responsible and share the duties of feeding, walking and grooming him. Lily and Ben were overjoyed and hugged their parents and Spot. + +They learned that caring for someone else is not always easy, but it is very rewarding. They also learned that sharing is not only about things, but also about feelings and friendship. They were very happy with their new furry friend and their yummy picnic. +Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog looked friendly and wagged its tail. Tom and Sue wanted to pet the dog, but they did not ask their parent first. + +"Come on, Sue, let's go and say hello to the dog," Tom said. He took Sue's hand and led her to the dog. Sue was a little scared, but she followed Tom. + +Their parent was busy talking to a friend and did not see them. The dog was happy to see Tom and Sue, but it did not know them. It barked loudly and jumped on them. Tom and Sue fell down and cried. The dog's owner came and pulled the dog away. He said he was sorry and that the dog was not mean, just playful. + +Their parent heard them cry and ran to them. He was very upset and angry. He hugged them and checked if they were hurt. He scolded them for going to the dog without asking. He said they could have been bitten or hurt. He said they should always listen to their parent and not talk to strangers or strange animals. + +Tom and Sue felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry and that they would not do it again. They learned their lesson and promised to be more careful. Their parent forgave them and took them home. He said he loved them and wanted them to be safe. He said they should always respect and trust their parent. Tom and Sue nodded and hugged their parent. They said they loved him too and thanked him for taking care of them. +Ben was a fast boy. He liked to run and jump and play. He did not like to learn. He thought learning was boring and hard. He did not want to sit and listen to his teacher. He wanted to have fun. + +One day, his teacher said, "Today we will learn about animals. Animals are living things that can move and make sounds. Some animals are big, some are small, some have fur, some have feathers, some have scales. Can you name some animals?" + +Ben did not care. He did not raise his hand. He looked out the window and saw a bird. He wanted to catch the bird. He thought it would be fun to have a bird as a pet. He waited for the teacher to look away. Then he got up and ran to the door. + +"Ben, where are you going?" the teacher asked. + +"I want to catch the bird!" Ben said. + +He opened the door and ran out of the classroom. He ran down the hall. He did not see the sign that said "Wet Floor". He did not see the mop and the bucket. He slipped and fell. He hit his head on the floor. He felt a big pain. He started to cry. + +The teacher and the other children heard him cry. They ran to the hall. They saw Ben on the floor. They saw the blood on his head. They were scared and worried. + +"Ben, are you okay?" the teacher asked. + +She picked him up and hugged him. She called the nurse. The nurse came and took Ben to her office. She cleaned his wound and put a bandage on it. She gave him some ice and a sticker. She said, "You were very brave, Ben. But you were also very naughty. You should not run in the hall. You should listen to your teacher. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. Do you understand?" + +Ben nodded. He felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, teacher. I'm sorry, nurse. I was silly. I wanted to catch the bird. But I learned my lesson. I learned that running in the hall is bad. I learned that learning is good. I want to learn about animals. Can you teach me?" + +The teacher smiled. She said, "Of course, Ben. I'm glad you learned something today. Come on, let's go back to the classroom. I have a book about animals. You can look at the pictures and I can tell you their names. Maybe you can find the bird you saw." + +Ben smiled too. He said, "Thank you, teacher. Thank you, nurse. I like animals. I like learning. I like you." + +He held the teacher's hand and walked back to the classroom. He was still a fast boy. But he was also a smart boy. He learned a lot that day. +Lily and Ben were going to visit their grandma in the mountains. They packed their luggage with warm clothes, toys and books. They were very excited to see the snow and play with their grandma's dog. + +When they got to the airport, they saw a lot of people waiting in line. They had to put their luggage on a big belt that moved. A man in a blue suit looked at their tickets and asked them where they were going. + +"We are going to see our grandma in the mountains!" Lily said. + +"That sounds fun. Do you like the snow?" the man asked. + +"Yes, we do! We want to make a snowman and a snow angel and have a snowball fight!" Ben said. + +The man smiled and gave them back their tickets. "Have a nice trip. But be careful, the snow can be very icy and slippery. You don't want to fall and hurt yourself." + +"Thank you, we will be careful," Lily and Ben said. + +They boarded the plane and flew to the mountains. When they arrived, their grandma was waiting for them with a big hug. She drove them to her house, where they saw the snow and the dog. + +They ran outside and started to play. They made a snowman and a snow angel and had a snowball fight. They had a lot of fun, but they also remembered what the man at the airport said. They were careful not to run too fast or slide too much on the icy snow. + +They learned that it is good to listen to advice and be safe when playing. They also learned that it is good to reply when someone asks them a question. They had a wonderful time with their grandma and thanked her for having them. They were happy and grateful. +Anna liked to draw. She had many colors and papers. She drew flowers and trees and birds. She wanted to show her drawings to her mom and dad. But they were very busy. They worked on their computers all day. They said they would look at her drawings on Wednesday. + +Anna waited for Wednesday. She put her drawings in a big folder. She hoped her mom and dad would like them. She wanted to make them happy. She wanted them to be proud of her. She wanted them to support her. + +On Wednesday, Anna woke up early. She ran to her mom and dad's room. She knocked on the door. She said, "Mom, dad, it's Wednesday! Can you see my drawings?" But her mom and dad were still sleeping. They said, "Not now, Anna. We are tired. We have to work. Go back to your room." + +Anna felt sad. She went back to her room. She put her folder on the floor. She sat on her bed. She cried. She thought her mom and dad did not care about her drawings. She thought they did not care about her. + +But then, she heard a knock on the door. She wiped her tears. She opened the door. She saw her mom and dad. They had big smiles. They had flowers and balloons. They said, "Surprise, Anna! We are sorry we made you wait. We wanted to make this day special for you. We are very happy to see your drawings. We are very proud of you. We support you." + +Anna felt happy. She hugged her mom and dad. She showed them her drawings. They looked at them with interest. They praised her colors and shapes. They hung them on the wall. They said, "You are a great artist, Anna. We love you very much." + +Anna smiled. She said, "I love you too, mom and dad. Thank you for making me happy. Thank you for supporting me." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. One day, they found a new game in their toy box. It was called "Examine the Cup". + +The game had a big cup and many small things inside. The things were different colors, shapes and sizes. There was a red ball, a blue star, a yellow flower, a green leaf and a purple ring. The game also had a card with a picture of one thing. + +Tom and Lily took turns to pick a card and look at the picture. Then they had to examine the cup and find the thing that matched the picture. They had to be fast and careful, because the cup was very full and the things were very small. + +"Look, I got a yellow flower!" Lily said, holding up her card. She examined the cup and saw the flower near the bottom. She reached in and grabbed it. "I found it! I win this round!" + +Tom was not happy. He wanted to win too. He looked at his card. It had a blue star. He examined the cup and searched for the star. He saw it on the other side of the cup. He tried to get it, but his hand was too big. He knocked over the cup and spilled the things everywhere. + +"Tom, you made a mess!" Lily said, frowning. "Now we can't play anymore!" + +Tom felt sorry. He did not mean to ruin the game. He helped Lily pick up the things and put them back in the cup. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was too competitive. Can we play again?" + +Lily smiled. She was not angry anymore. She said, "It's okay, Tom. We can play again. But let's be more careful and have fun. It's just a game." + +Tom and Lily hugged and agreed. They shuffled the cards and started a new round. They examined the cup and tried to find the things. They were still competitive, but they were also kind and fair. They enjoyed the game and each other. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big map of the world on the grass. They liked to pretend they were traveling to different countries and learning new things. + +"Look, this is China," Lily said, pointing to a red spot on the map. "They have pandas and dragons and noodles." + +"Wow, that sounds fun," Ben said. "And this is Brazil. They have rainforests and monkeys and soccer." + +They moved their fingers across the map, making sounds and stories. But then they saw a tear on the map. It was right in the middle of Africa. + +"Oh no, the map is broken!" Lily cried. "How did that happen?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe the wind did it. Or a bird. Or a bug." + +They felt sad and worried. They loved their map. It was a gift from their grandma, who had traveled to many countries. She had told them stories and taught them words from different languages. + +"Can we fix it?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe," Ben said. "We can try. We need some tape and glue and scissors." + +They ran inside the house and looked for the things they needed. They found them in a drawer in the kitchen. They brought them back to the garden and carefully put the map back together. They taped the tear and glued the edges. They cut off the extra bits. + +"There, it's done," Ben said, smiling. + +They looked at their map. It was not perfect, but it was whole again. + +"Thank you, Ben," Lily said, hugging him. "You helped me heal the map. You are a good friend." + +"Thank you, Lily," Ben said, hugging her back. "You are a good friend too. And the map is still beautiful. It shows us all the countries we can dream of." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds with their mouths when they move the cars. Zoom, zoom, zoom! + +One day, they find a new car in the toy box. It is big and red and shiny. It has four big wheels and a loud horn. Lily and Ben want to play with it. They both reach for it at the same time. + +"Mine!" Lily says. + +"No, mine!" Ben says. + +They pull the car from each other. They are angry and sad. They do not want to share. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She comes into the room. She sees Lily and Ben fighting over the car. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. + +"Lily and Ben tell Mom about the car. They both want it. They both say it is theirs. + +Mom looks at the car. She smiles. She has an idea. + +"Why don't you take turns?" Mom says. "You can both play with the car, but not at the same time. Lily can go first, then Ben, then Lily again, and so on. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben think about it. They nod. They agree. They say sorry to each other. They hug. + +Mom gives the car to Lily. She tells her to play for five minutes, then give it to Ben. Lily says okay. She takes the car and zooms it around the room. She is happy. + +Ben waits patiently. He watches Lily play. He is excited. He knows he will get the car soon. He is happy too. + +Mom watches Lily and Ben. She is proud of them. They are good friends. They are good youth. They are chubby and cute. She is happy. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big mountain near their house. They wanted to climb it and see what was on top. They asked their moms if they could go, and their moms said yes, but be careful and come back soon. + +Anna and Ben started to climb the mountain. It was hard and steep, but they had fun. They saw rocks and trees and birds and flowers. They helped each other when they got tired or stuck. They were happy and excited. + +But when they got near the top, they saw a big bear. The bear was angry and hungry. It roared and ran towards them. Anna and Ben were scared and anxious. They did not know what to do. They tried to run away, but the bear was faster. It caught Ben and bit him. Ben screamed and cried. Anna saw Ben and felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him, but she was too afraid. She ran away and left Ben alone with the bear. + +Anna ran down the mountain and back to her house. She told her mom what happened. Her mom was shocked and sad. She called Ben's mom and the police. They went to the mountain to look for Ben, but it was too late. The bear had killed him and eaten him. Ben's mom was heartbroken and angry. She blamed Anna for leaving Ben. She said Anna was a bad friend and a coward. She said she would never forgive her. + +Anna felt guilty and sad. She wished she had stayed with Ben and tried to save him. She wished she had not been so afraid. She wished she could say sorry to Ben and his mom. But she could not. She had lost her friend and his mom's love. She had done something very bad and could not fix it. She cried and cried and wished she could go back in time. But she could not. She had to live with her mistake and her pain. She was very unhappy and lonely. The end. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They live in the same street and play every day. But one day, Ben tells Lily that he has to move away. He says his dad has a new job in another town. + +Lily feels sad and angry. She does not want Ben to go. She asks him, "Will you still be my friend?" + +Ben nods and hugs her. He says, "Of course I will. You are my best friend. I promise I will write to you and call you. And maybe we can visit each other sometimes." + +Lily smiles a little. She says, "I promise too. I will wait for your mail and answer it. And I will keep your toys safe until you come back." + +They pinky swear and say goodbye. Ben gets in the car with his mom and dad and waves to Lily. Lily waves back and tries not to cry. + +The next day, Lily goes to the mailbox. She hopes to find a letter from Ben. But there is nothing for her. She feels sad and weak. She wonders if Ben forgot his promise. + +She goes back to her house and sits on her bed. She looks at Ben's toys and misses him. She wishes he was here to play with her. + +But then, she hears a knock on the door. She runs to open it and sees a big envelope with her name on it. She opens it and finds a letter from Ben. He says he is sorry for not writing sooner. He says he misses her too. He says he likes his new house, but it is not the same without her. He says he drew a picture of them playing together and sent it to her. + +Lily feels happy and strong. She looks at the picture and sees Ben's smile. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You kept your promise. I will write to you soon and send you a picture too." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. The dog is enthusiastic. He runs to Lily and Ben and wags his tail. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They do not like big dogs. They think the dog wants to make meat of them. They scream and run away. The dog chases them. He thinks they want to play. + +Lily and Ben run to the slide. They climb up the ladder. The dog follows them. He cannot climb the ladder. He barks and jumps. Lily and Ben are on the top of the slide. They do not know what to do. + +Then, they see a lady. The lady is the dog's owner. She calls the dog. She says, "Rex, come here. Leave the children alone. They are not your friends." The dog hears the lady. He stops barking and jumping. He runs to the lady. He licks her face. + +Lily and Ben are relieved. They slide down the slide. They say, "Thank you, lady. Your dog is enthusiastic, but he is too big for us. We are afraid of him." The lady says, "I'm sorry, children. Rex is a good dog, but he is too excited sometimes. He does not want to make meat of you. He wants to make friends with you. Maybe next time, you can pet him and give him a treat." Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Maybe next time." They wave goodbye to the lady and the dog. They go back to playing in the park. +Tim and Mia are playing dress-up in the attic. They find a big leather jacket that belongs to their dad. Tim wants to wear it, but it is too big for him. + +"Let me try it on!" Mia says. She takes the jacket from Tim and puts it on. She tries to zip it up, but the zipper is stuck. + +"Zip, zip, zip!" Mia says, pulling hard on the zipper. But it does not move. She feels frustrated. + +"Here, let me help you," Tim says. He tries to unzip the jacket, but he cannot do it either. He feels frustrated too. + +"Zip, zip, zip!" Tim says, pushing hard on the zipper. But it does not budge. He and Mia look at each other. They are both stuck in the jacket. + +"Help!" they shout together. "We need help!" + +Their mom hears them and comes to the attic. She sees them in the jacket and laughs. + +"What are you two doing?" she asks. She gently unzips the jacket and frees them. + +"We were playing dress-up," Mia says. + +"But the zipper was stuck," Tim says. + +"It's okay," their mom says. "This jacket is old and broken. You can play with something else." + +She gives them a hug and a kiss and helps them find some other clothes to play with. They forget about the jacket and have fun. +Lily loved avocado. She liked to eat it with a spoon or on toast. Sometimes, she would sneak into the kitchen and take an avocado from the fruit bowl. She would hide in her room and eat it all by herself. + +One day, Lily saw a big, green avocado on the counter. She wanted it very much. She looked around and saw that no one was watching. She grabbed the avocado and ran to her room. She closed the door and smiled. + +She peeled the avocado and took a big bite. It was yummy and creamy. She ate more and more until there was only a pit left. She threw the pit in the trash and wiped her mouth. She felt happy and full. + +But then, she heard a knock on the door. It was her mom. She opened the door and saw her mom holding another avocado. Her mom looked angry and sad. + +"Lily, did you take the avocado from the counter?" her mom asked. + +Lily felt guilty. She knew she did something bad. She nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I'm sorry." + +Her mom sighed and said, "Lily, that avocado was for your dad. He loves avocado too. He was looking forward to having it for lunch. Now he has nothing to eat. How do you think he feels?" + +Lily felt very sorry. She loved her dad and did not want to make him sad. She started to cry and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, dad. I didn't know. I like avocado too. Can we share?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you like avocado. But you have to ask before you take something that is not yours. And you have to share with others. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry." + +Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But you have to say sorry to your dad too. And maybe you can give him a hug and a kiss. And maybe you can help me make some more toast and avocado for him. Would you like that?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I would like that. I love you, mom. I love you, dad." + +She ran to her dad and said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I took your avocado. I didn't mean to make you sad. I love you. Can I give you a hug and a kiss?" + +Her dad smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. I love you too. And I forgive you. But next time, please ask before you take something. And please share with me. I like avocado too. Can I have some of your toast and avocado?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, dad. You can have some of my toast and avocado. Let's go to the kitchen and eat together." + +They went to the kitchen and ate toast and avocado with mom. They all felt happy and full. And they all said, "Thank you, avocado." +Sara and Tom are playing with blocks in the living room. They like to build towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. Sara has a lot of blocks, but Tom only has a few. Tom wants to use some of Sara's blocks, but Sara does not want to share. + +"Can I have some of your blocks, please?" Tom asks Sara. + +"No, they are mine. Go find your own blocks," Sara says. + +"But you have so many. I only have a few. Please, Sara, can I have some?" Tom begs. + +"No, no, no. Go away, Tom. These are my blocks," Sara says again. + +Tom feels sad and angry. He does not understand why Sara is so mean. He wants to explain to Sara that sharing is good and fun, but Sara does not listen. He thinks of a plan to make Sara share. He sees a big book on the shelf. He gets a chair and climbs on it. He reaches for the book, but he is not careful. He loses his balance and falls down. The book falls down too, and hits Sara's blocks. Sara's blocks fall down and break. Sara's tower and bridge and house are gone. + +Sara screams and cries. She is very upset. She looks at Tom and sees him on the floor. He is hurt and scared. He has a bump on his head and a tear on his shirt. He looks at Sara and says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I just wanted some blocks. I wanted to explain to you that sharing is good and fun, but you did not listen. I did not mean to break your blocks." + +Sara stops crying. She feels sorry for Tom. She realizes that she was not nice to him. She goes to Tom and helps him get up. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was not nice to you. I should have shared my blocks with you. You are right, sharing is good and fun. I did not listen to you. I hope you are not hurt." + +Tom smiles and hugs Sara. He says, "Thank you, Sara. I'm not hurt. I'm glad you are nice to me. I hope you are not sad." + +Sara smiles and hugs Tom. She says, "I'm not sad. I'm happy you are my friend. We can build new things with the blocks. We can share them and have fun." + +Sara and Tom go back to the blocks. They are careful with the book and the chair. They build new towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They share them and have fun. They explain to each other what they are making. They look at each other and smile. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with a big tube in the park. They liked to roll it, hide in it, and make noises with it. They pretended it was a rocket, a tunnel, and a drum. + +"Let's roll it down the hill!" Tom said. "It will be fun!" + +"Okay!" Lily agreed. They pushed the tube to the top of the hill and got ready to roll it. + +But they did not see that there was a pond at the bottom of the hill. The tube rolled very fast and went splash into the water. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Lily cried. They ran after the tube, but it was too late. The tube was wet and dirty and full of frogs. + +They tried to pull the tube out, but it was too heavy. They got wet and dirty and froggy too. + +Some other kids saw them and laughed. "Look at them! They are silly and stupid!" they said. + +Tom and Lily felt embarrassed. They blinked their eyes and wished they were home. + +They learned a lesson. They should have looked before they rolled the tube. They should have been careful and smart. They should have listened to their mom, who told them not to play near the pond. +Tom was very tired. He had played a lot with his toys and his friends. He wanted to go to bed, but his mom said he had to do his homework first. She gave him a pencil and a paper with some letters and numbers. + +Tom looked at the paper. He did not like homework. It was hard and boring. He tried to write some letters, but his hand was heavy. He tried to count some numbers, but his head was sleepy. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. + +"Mom, can I stop now?" he asked. + +"No, Tom, you have to finish your homework. It is good for you. It will help you learn and grow," his mom said. + +"But I am very tired. And I do not understand this homework. It is too hard for me," Tom said. + +"Tom, you can do it. You are a smart and brave boy. You just have to try your best. I will help you if you need. Come on, let's do it together," his mom said. + +She sat next to him and took his pencil. She showed him how to write and count. She praised him when he did well. She hugged him when he made a mistake. She made him smile and laugh. + +Tom felt better. He was still tired, but he was also happy. He liked his mom. She was kind and helpful. He finished his homework with her. He put his pencil and paper away. + +"Mom, can I go to bed now?" he asked. + +"Yes, Tom, you can go to bed now. You did a great job. I am very proud of you," his mom said. + +She took him to his room. She tucked him in his bed. She kissed him goodnight. She turned off the light. + +Tom closed his eyes. He yawned one last time. He fell asleep. He dreamed of his toys and his friends. He was not bored. He was not hard. He 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 superhero and Ben was the villain. They had a lot of fun making noises and chasing each other. + +But then, Ben had an idea. He wanted to scare Lily with a mask. He found a scary mask in his room and put it on. He sneaked back to the living room and waited for Lily to turn around. He wanted to make her jump and scream. + +When Lily turned around, she saw the mask. She did not know it was Ben. She thought it was a real monster. She was very scared. She screamed and ran away. She hid behind the sofa and cried. + +Ben heard Lily scream and cry. He felt bad. He did not want to make her cry. He took off the mask and ran to her. He said, "Lily, Lily, it's me, Ben. I'm sorry. I was just playing. It's not a real monster. It's just a mask. Please don't cry." + +Lily peeked from behind the sofa. She saw Ben's face. She was still scared, but she also felt angry. She said, "Ben, that was not nice. You scared me. You made me sad. Why did you do that?" + +Ben said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I wanted to make you jump and laugh. I thought it would be fun. I did not know you would be so scared. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She also remembered that he was her brother and her friend. She said, "OK, Ben. I forgive you. But don't do that again. It's not fun. It's mean." + +Ben said, "OK, Lily. I won't do that again. I promise. Can we play again?" + +Lily said, "OK, Ben. We can play again. But let's play something else. Something nice." + +Ben said, "OK, Lily. What do you want to play?" + +Lily said, "How about we play with the True? He is a good toy. He can appear and disappear. He can make us happy." + +Ben said, "OK, Lily. That sounds fun. Let's play with the True." + +They hugged and smiled. They went to find the True. They played with him and had fun. They forgot about the mask and the scare. They were happy. +Lila loved to rock on her swing. She felt like she was flying in the air. She liked to sing songs and look at the sky. Sometimes she saw birds and clouds. Sometimes she saw stars and the moon. + +One day, when she was rocking on her swing, she saw something shiny. It was a fairy! The fairy had wings and a dress. She was very small and pretty. She flew to Lila and said hello. + +"Hello, fairy," Lila said. "What is your name?" + +"My name is Fia," the fairy said. "I live in the garden. I came to see you because you are very patient. You always rock on your swing and wait for your mom and dad. You never cry or fuss. You are a good girl." + +"Thank you, Fia," Lila said. "You are very kind. Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, I do," Fia said. "Can I sit on your shoulder and rock with you?" + +"Of course," Lila said. "That would be fun." + +So Lila and Fia rocked on the swing together. They sang songs and looked at the sky. They saw birds and clouds. They saw stars and the moon. They became friends and had a happy time. +Tim and Mia love to go to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They like to see all the different animals and learn their names. Tim's favorite animal is the shark. He thinks they are big and strong and have many teeth. Mia's favorite animal is the dolphin. She thinks they are smart and friendly and have a smile. + +One day, the zoo has a special show. The zookeeper says he will feed the sharks and the dolphins and let them do some tricks. Tim and Mia are very excited. They sit in the front row and watch. The zookeeper throws some fish into the water. The sharks and the dolphins swim fast and catch the fish. They make loud noises and splash the water. + +Then, the zookeeper asks for a volunteer. He says he needs someone to help him feed the dolphins. Mia raises her hand. She wants to feed the dolphins. The zookeeper picks her and gives her a bucket of fish. He tells her to stand on a platform and hold a fish in her hand. Mia does what he says. She is a little scared, but also happy. + +A playful dolphin jumps out of the water and takes the fish from Mia's hand. It makes a funny sound and wags its tail. Mia laughs. She gives the dolphin another fish. The dolphin does the same thing. Mia feels the dolphin's skin. It is smooth and wet. She pets the dolphin and says thank you. The dolphin nods and smiles. + +Tim claps and cheers for Mia. He thinks she is brave and lucky. He wishes he could feed the sharks. He wonders if they are playful too. He asks Mom and Dad if he can feed the sharks next time. Mom and Dad say maybe, but only if the zookeeper says it is safe. Tim nods and smiles. He loves the zoo. He loves the sharks and the dolphins. He loves his sister. He has a lot of fun. +Tom and Sue are playing with snow in the park. They make a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They are very happy. + +"Look at our snowman!" Tom says. "He is so big and nice!" + +"Yes, he is!" Sue says. "But we have to go home soon. It is getting dark and cold." + +They hug their snowman and say goodbye. They walk to their house with their mom. + +The next day, they want to see their snowman again. But when they go to the park, they see something else. The snow is gone. The hat, the scarf and the carrot are on the ground. The snowman is not there. + +"What happened to our snowman?" Tom asks. He is very sad. + +"He melted," Sue says. She is sad too. "The sun was too hot. It made the snow go away." + +They pick up the hat, the scarf and the carrot. They want to keep them for their snowman. + +"Maybe we can make another snowman when it snows again," Tom says. + +"Maybe," Sue says. "But we have to find a better place. A place where the sun cannot cut the snow." + +They look around the park. They see a big tree with many branches. The branches make a shadow on the ground. + +"Look, there is some snow under the tree!" Tom says. "The sun cannot reach it there. It is too dark." + +"Let's go there!" Sue says. "Maybe we can make a small snowman with the snow under the tree." + +They run to the tree. They see a little pile of snow. They start to make a small snowman with their hands. They put the hat, the scarf and the carrot on him. He is not as big and nice as the first snowman, but he is still cute. + +"There, we made another snowman!" Tom says. "He is our little snowman. He will not melt." + +"Hello, little snowman!" Sue says. "We are your friends. We will come to see you every day." + +They hear a loud noise. It is a dog. The dog is running to the tree. He sees the little snowman. He thinks it is a toy. He wants to play with it. + +"Hey, stop!" Tom shouts. "That is our snowman! Leave him alone!" + +But the dog does not listen. He jumps on the little snowman. He bites the hat, the scarf and the carrot. He breaks the snow. He makes a mess. + +Tom and Sue are very angry. They cry. They try to stop the dog. But the dog is too fast and strong. He runs away with the hat, the scarf and the carrot in his mouth. + +The little snowman is gone. There is only some snow on the ground. + +Tom and Sue are very sad. They hug each other. They have no snowman. + +They go home with their mom. They hope it will snow again soon. They hope they can make another snowman. A snowman that will not melt or be cut by the sun or the dog. A snowman that will stay with them. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big sign that said "Lost Dog. Reward for Finder". The sign had a picture of a brown dog with a red collar. + +"Look, Max, a lost dog!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find him and get the reward." + +"What is a reward?" Max asked. + +"A reward is something good that you get for doing something good," Lily explained. "Like a candy or a toy." + +Max nodded. He liked candy and toys. "Let's find the dog, then," he said. + +They followed the sign to a house with a fence. They heard a bark from behind the fence. They peeked over and saw the brown dog with the red collar. He looked sad and lonely. + +"Hello, doggy," Lily called. "We are here to help you. Don't be scared." + +The dog wagged his tail and came closer to the fence. He licked Lily's hand and Max's face. He seemed happy to see them. + +"Good doggy," Max said. "We will take you to your home." + +They opened the gate and let the dog out. He followed them to the park, where they saw another sign with the same picture and a phone number. + +"Let's call the number and tell them we found the dog," Lily said. She used her mom's phone to dial the number. + +A woman answered. "Hello?" + +"Hello, we found your dog," Lily said. "He is with us in the park. He is very nice and friendly." + +"Oh, thank you so much!" the woman said. "You are very kind and brave. I will come to the park right away and give you a reward." + +Lily and Max smiled. They waited with the dog until the woman arrived. She hugged them and gave them each a candy and a toy. She also thanked them again and again. + +The dog licked them goodbye and went with his owner. He looked happy and grateful. + +Lily and Max felt proud and happy too. They had done something good and got a reward. They shared their candy and played with their toys. They were not miserable at all. They were the best friends ever. +Lily liked to play with her mom's things. She liked to look at the shiny rings and the pretty dresses. She liked to smell the perfume that her mom sprayed on her neck. One day, when her mom was not home, Lily went to her room. She saw the perfume on the dresser. She wanted to smell it. + +She climbed on a chair and reached for the perfume. She grabbed it with her hand. But it was too big and heavy for her. She dropped it on the floor. It broke and made a loud noise. The perfume spilled everywhere. It smelled strong and made Lily cough. + +Lily was scared. She knew she did a bad thing. She ran to her room and hid under the bed. She hoped her mom would not be mad at her. She heard the door open. It was her mom. She came to Lily's room and saw her under the bed. + +"Lily, what happened?" her mom asked. She saw the perfume on the floor. She was sad and angry. She said, "Lily, you should not play with my things. You could hurt yourself. And you broke my perfume. It was a gift from your dad. It was very special to me." + +Lily felt sorry. She came out from under the bed. She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to smell it. I didn't mean to break it. I love you, mom." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. I know you didn't mean to break it. But you have to be careful and ask me before you touch my things. OK?" + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I'm sorry." + +Her mom smiled and said, "It's OK, Lily. Let's clean up the mess and then we can have some cookies. How does that sound?" + +Lily smiled and said, "That sounds good, mom. Thank you." + +They went to the kitchen and had some cookies. Lily learned her lesson. She never played with her mom's things again. She only smelled the perfume when her mom let her. She was a good girl. +Lily was very patient. She waited and waited for her birthday. She wanted to receive a big present from her mom and dad. She did not know what it was, but she hoped it was something fun. + +On the morning of her birthday, Lily woke up and ran to the living room. She saw a big box with a bow on the table. She was so happy and excited. She asked her mom and dad, "Is this for me?" + +"Yes, it is, sweetie. Happy birthday!" her mom and dad said. "Do you want to open it?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily said. She tore off the paper and opened the box. Inside, she saw a beautiful doll house. It had many rooms and furniture and dolls. It looked like a real place. + +Lily gasped and smiled. She hugged her mom and dad and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is the best present ever! Can I play with it?" + +"Of course, you can, honey. It's yours. We're glad you like it." her mom and dad said. "But first, let's have some cake and sing happy birthday." + +Lily nodded and followed them to the kitchen. She was very happy. She could not wait to play with her new doll house. She was very patient, but she was also very lucky. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toy horses. They have a big box with many horses of different colors and sizes. They also have a whip that makes a loud sound when they swing it in the air. They pretend they are cowboys and cowgirls and ride their horses around the room. + +One day, Sara and Ben's mom tells them she has a surprise for them. She says they can go to the farm and see real horses. Sara and Ben are very happy and excited. They put on their hats and boots and get ready to go. + +At the farm, Sara and Ben see many horses in a big field. They are brown, black, white, and spotted. Some have long manes and tails, and some have short ones. They are very beautiful and strong. Sara and Ben's mom says they can pet and feed some of the horses that are available. She says they are friendly and gentle. + +Sara and Ben walk up to a white horse with a black spot on its nose. They stroke its soft fur and give it some carrots. The horse nuzzles them and makes a soft noise. Sara and Ben smile and hug the horse. They say they want to ride it. + +Sara and Ben's mom says they can ride the horse, but they have to be careful and follow the rules. She says they have to wear helmets and listen to the farmer. She also says they can't use the whip on the horse, because it will hurt it and make it scared. She says the whip is only for their toy horses, not for real ones. + +Sara and Ben nod and say they understand. They say they love the horse and don't want to hurt it. They put on their helmets and climb on the horse. The farmer holds the reins and walks with them. Sara and Ben feel the horse's warm breath and smooth back. They are very happy and thank their mom for the surprise. They say it is the best day ever. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and learn new things. One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a big statue of a man with a hat and a coat. He is holding a book and a pen. + +"Who is that, mom?" Lily asks. + +"That is a famous man. His name is Abe. He was a good leader and he helped many people," mom says. + +"What is he doing with the book and the pen?" Ben asks. + +"He is writing something important. He is writing a speech. A speech is when you talk to many people and tell them what you think and feel," mom says. + +Lily and Ben want to write a speech too. They find a bench and seat on it. They take out their crayons and paper. They start to write and draw. + +"I want to tell people to be kind and share," Lily says. + +"I want to tell people to eat fruit and stay healthy," Ben says. + +They write and draw for a long time. They are happy and proud of their speeches. They show them to mom. + +"Wow, you are very smart and creative. I love your speeches. Maybe one day, you will be famous too," mom says. + +She hugs them and gives them a fruit each. They eat the fruit and smile. They are happy to be at the park with mom and the famous man. +Sam and Mia went to the big museum with their mom. They liked to see the old things that people made long ago. Mom said they were ancient. Sam and Mia wanted to touch them, but mom said no. They had to be careful and look only. + +They saw a big display of shiny rocks and bones. Mom said they were from dinosaurs. Sam and Mia liked dinosaurs. They roared like them and pretended to have big teeth. Mom smiled and took a picture of them. + +Then they saw a display of dolls and toys. Mom said they were from children who lived in different places and times. Sam and Mia wanted to play with them, but mom said no. They had to be patient and wait for the playroom. Sam and Mia felt sad and bored. + +They walked some more and saw a display of paintings and drawings. Mom said they were from artists who had big ideas and feelings. Sam and Mia liked colors and shapes. They tried to guess what the pictures meant. Mom said they were very smart and creative. + +They finally reached the playroom. Mom said they could play with anything they wanted. Sam and Mia were happy and excited. They found some ancient toys and some new ones. They made their own display of fun and stories. Mom said they were the best display of all. +Sara and Ben are going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They want to see new things and have fun. + +"Ben, can you help me pack your bag?" Mom asks. "We need to put your clothes, your toys and your camera in it." + +"OK, Mom," Ben says. He likes his camera. He likes to take pictures of everything. He runs to his room and gets his camera. He puts it in his bag with his clothes and his toys. + +"Sara, what about you?" Dad asks. "Are you ready to pack your bag?" + +"Yes, Dad," Sara says. She likes her bag. It is pink and has flowers on it. She puts her clothes, her books and her doll in it. + +"Good job, Sara," Dad says. He smiles. He thinks Sara is charming. He likes her smile and her curly hair. + +Mom and Dad pack their bags too. They put them in the car. They are ready to go. + +"Are you excited, Sara and Ben?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, Mom!" Sara and Ben say. + +They get in the car and buckle their seat belts. They wave goodbye to their house and their dog. They start their trip. They can't wait to see new things and take pictures with their camera. They are very happy. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But there was one thing they never tried: the big, scary, red bridge. + +The bridge was very high and very long. It had holes and gaps and rails. It looked like a dragon's back. Some older kids said it was fun to cross the bridge, but Ben and Lily were afraid. They always stayed away from it. + +One day, a new kid came to the park. His name was Max. He had a big smile and a big backpack. He said hello to Ben and Lily and asked if they wanted to play with him. They said yes and showed him their favorite things in the park. Max liked them too, but he was curious about the bridge. + +"Have you ever crossed the bridge?" he asked Ben and Lily. + +They shook their heads. + +"Why not?" he asked. + +They said it was too high and too scary. + +Max laughed. "It's not scary, it's fun! I dare you to cross the bridge with me. Come on, it's easy!" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They didn't want to look scared in front of Max, but they also didn't want to go on the bridge. They didn't know what to do. + +Max saw their hesitation and smiled. He had an idea. He opened his backpack and took out a big, fluffy, yellow teddy bear. + +"Look, this is my friend, Mr. Fluffy. He loves to cross the bridge. He says it's the best thing in the park. He says he will welcome you on the other side if you cross the bridge with me. He also says he has a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?" + +Ben and Lily looked at the teddy bear. It was very cute and very soft. They wondered what the surprise was. They felt a little bit of courage in their hearts. + +"Okay, we'll try," they said. + +Max cheered. "Great! Let's go then. Mr. Fluffy will lead the way. Just follow him and you'll be fine." + +He put the teddy bear on his head and walked towards the bridge. Ben and Lily followed him, holding hands. They stepped on the bridge and felt it shake. They looked down and saw the ground far below. They felt scared, but they also felt excited. They saw Max and Mr. Fluffy ahead of them, waving and smiling. They heard Max say, "You can do it! You're almost there!" + +They kept walking, slowly and carefully, until they reached the other side. They felt a rush of joy and relief. They had crossed the bridge! They had done it! + +They hugged Max and Mr. Fluffy and thanked them for their help. Max hugged them back and said, "You're welcome! You're very brave and very cool. I'm glad you're my friends." + +He then gave them the surprise: two stickers with stars and rainbows. He said they were for being awesome and daring. Ben and Lily smiled and put the stickers on their shirts. They felt very proud and happy. + +They played with Max and Mr. Fluffy for a while, then they crossed the bridge again, this time with more confidence and fun. They realized the bridge was not so scary after all. It was just another thing to enjoy in the park. + +They decided to invite Max and Mr. Fluffy to play with them every day. They had a new friend and a new adventure. They had a lot of fun. +Sara and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were explorers in a jungle. They used pillows, blankets and toys to make a tent and a bridge. They had a big armchair that was their boat. They took turns to be the captain and the sailor. + +One day, Sara was the captain and Tom was the sailor. Sara wore a hat and held a map. Tom had a binocular and a whistle. They climbed on the armchair and sailed away. Sara looked at the map and said, "We are going to find the treasure island. It has a lot of gold and jewels. But we have to be careful. There is a mean pirate who wants to take it from us. He has a hook and a parrot. He is very bitter and angry." + +Tom nodded and looked around with his binocular. He saw a picture on the wall that looked like an island. He pointed at it and said, "Look, captain, I think I see the island. It has a palm tree and a big X. Maybe that is where the treasure is." + +Sara followed his point and smiled. She said, "Good job, sailor. You have a sharp eye. Let's go there and dig up the treasure. But watch out for the pirate. He might be hiding behind the curtains or under the table." + +They jumped off the armchair and ran to the picture. They pretended to dig with their hands and found a box of cookies. They opened it and cheered. They said, "We found the treasure. It is delicious. Let's eat some and share with mom and dad." + +But as they were about to take a bite, they heard a loud voice behind them. It said, "Arrr, you scurvy dogs. You stole my treasure. Give it back or I'll make you walk the plank." + +They turned around and saw their dad dressed as a pirate. He had a hook on his hand and a parrot on his shoulder. He looked very bitter and angry.

She loved to play with her toys and dress up in pretty clothes. One day, Lily's mom asked her to clean up her room. + +Lily looked around and saw that her closet was messy.

Her mommy found a soft spot in the grass and the little girl closed her eyes and fell asleep. + +While the little girl was napping, some important bees came to the field. The bees were very busy collecting nectar from the flowers. They knew that the flowers in this field were the best and most important ones to collect from. The little girl slept peacefully while the bees buzzed around her. + +When the little girl woke up from her nap, she felt much better. She saw the bees flying around and thought they were very important. She also noticed how wide the field was and how many pretty flowers there were. She was happy and grateful for the nice nap she had taken. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to look up at the sky and watch the clouds go by.

She wanted to be famous and have everyone see her picture. So, she went to the city and showed her picture to many people. They said it was okay, but not amazing. Lily was sad and wanted more. + +Finally, she met a man who said he could make her famous. He took her picture and put it in a big art show. Everyone looked at it, but no one cared. Lily's picture was just modest, not special. She was sad and wished she had just settled for her mommy and daddy's compliment. +Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Benny.

Benny and his friends were very sad because they couldn't play in the field anymore. + +Benny had an idea! He ran home and asked his mommy to help him wrap his friends in warm blankets.

"But don't worry, I won't hurt you. You look harmless enough." + +Benny was relieved to hear this, but he still didn't want to be eaten. Suddenly, he had an idea.

They were very fast and wanted to win. One rabbit was competitive and wanted to be the first to reach the gate. The other rabbit was not in a hurry and took his time. + +The competitive rabbit ran as fast as he could, but he tripped and fell down. The other rabbit saw this and stopped to help him. They both reached the gate at the same time and were happy to be friends. + +From that day on, they decided to run together and not be in a hurry to win.

They wanted to do something new and fun. + +"Let's play dare!" Ben said. "I dare you to do something and you dare me to do something. But we have to be brave and do it!" + +"OK!" Lily agreed. "What do you dare me to do?" + +Ben looked around and saw a pair of scissors on the table. He had an idea. "I dare you to cut your hair with the scissors!" he said. + +Lily gasped. She loved her long, brown hair. It was soft and shiny and made her feel graceful. She did not want to cut it. But she also did not want to lose the game. She was brave. + +"Fine!" she said. "But you have to do something too. I dare you to eat a spoonful of mustard!" + +Ben made a face. He hated mustard. It was yellow and sour and made him cough. He did not want to eat it. But he also did not want to lose the game. He was brave. + +"Fine!" he said. "But you have to go first!" + +Lily nodded. She picked up the scissors and held them near her hair. She was scared. She did not know how to cut hair. What if she made a mistake? What if she looked funny? What if Mommy got angry? + +She looked at Ben. He was holding a spoon and a jar of mustard. He was scared too. He did not know how to eat mustard. What if he got sick? What if he spit it out? What if Daddy got angry? + +They looked at each other. They were both brave. But they were also both silly. They did not have to do the dares. They could say no. They could play something else. They could be happy. + +They put down the scissors and the mustard. They smiled at each other. They hugged. + +"Let's not play dare anymore," Lily said. + +"Let's play something else," Ben said. + +They decided to play with their toys and books. They had many toys and books, and they were not bored. They were happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. They are organized. They put each car and truck in a box with a label. + +One day, they decide to make a big city with their cars and trucks. They use books, pillows, and blankets to make buildings, bridges, and roads. They have fun driving their cars and trucks around the city. They make noises like honk, beep, and vroom. + +"Look, Lily, I have a fire truck!" Tom says. He shows Lily his red truck with a ladder. + +"Wow, Tom, that's cool!" Lily says. She has a yellow bus with many windows. + +"Let's pretend there is a fire in that building!" Tom says. He points to a book with a green cover. + +"OK, Tom, let's go!" Lily says. They drive their fire truck and bus to the building. They pretend to spray water and save people. + +"Help, help!" Tom says. He puts a teddy bear on the roof of the book. + +"Don't worry, I'll save you!" Lily says. She uses the ladder of the fire truck to reach the roof. She grabs the teddy bear and brings it down. + +"Thank you, Lily, you are a hero!" Tom says. He hugs the teddy bear. + +"You're welcome, Tom, you are a hero too!" Lily says. They smile and high-five. + +They continue to play with their cars and trucks until it is time for lunch. They are happy and hungry.

They like to play with toys and books. But today it is raining. They cannot go outside. They are in their room. They are bored. + +They want to have fun. They look for something to do. They see a big drum. They see a loud horn. They see a shiny bell. They smile. They have an idea. + +They take the drum, the horn and the bell. They start to make noise. They bang the drum. They blow the horn. They ring the bell. They laugh. They make a lot of noise. + +But Mom and Dad do not like the noise. They are working. They need quiet. They hear the noise. They are angry. They go to the room. They see Lily and Ben. They see the drum, the horn and the bell. They are not happy. + +They tell Lily and Ben to stop. They say the noise is too much. They say they need to work. They say they need to find something else to do. Something quiet. Something boring. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They do not want to stop. They do not want to be quiet. They do not want to be bored. They want to make noise. They want to have fun. But they know they have to listen. They say sorry. They put away the drum, the horn and the bell. They look for something else to do. Something quiet. Something boring. They hope the rain will stop soon. +Lily and Sam went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like monkeys, lions, and giraffes. But Lily's favorite animal was the elephant. She liked how big and gray it was, and how it used its long nose to spray water. + +"Mom, can I stay here and watch the elephant?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, but you have to remain with Sam. Don't go anywhere else, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. Come on, Sam, let's sit on this bench and see what the elephant does." Lily said. + +Sam followed Lily to the bench. He was not as interested in the elephant as Lily was. He wanted to see the penguins and the bears. He looked around and saw a sign that said "Penguin Pool". + +"Hey, Lily, look, there are penguins over there. Let's go see them." Sam said. + +"No, Sam, we have to remain here. Mom said so. And I like the elephant more. It's so big and cool." Lily said. + +"But I want to see the penguins. They are cute and funny. And they slide on the ice." Sam said. + +"Sam, please, don't go. The elephant might do something fun. Maybe it will make a loud sound, or wave its ears, or throw a ball." Lily said. + +"Sorry, Lily, but I'm bored of the elephant. I'm going to see the penguins. You can come with me if you want." Sam said. + +He got up from the bench and ran towards the penguin pool. Lily was sad and angry. She wanted Sam to remain with her and watch the elephant. She didn't want to see the penguins. She liked the elephant more. She decided to remain on the bench and hope that Sam would come back soon. She looked at the elephant and smiled. The elephant looked at her and smiled back. It lifted its long nose and sprayed water on Lily. Lily laughed and felt happy. She didn't need Sam to have fun. She had the elephant. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a big box of coins that she got from her grandma. She liked to count them and pretend they were treasure. One day, she took some coins to school to show her friends. + +But when she got to school, she saw that her teacher was very angry. He said that someone had taken coins from his desk. He said that whoever did it was very bad and had to say sorry. Lily felt troubled. She did not take the coins from the teacher, but she had coins in her backpack. What if the teacher thought she did it? + +She hid her backpack under her chair and hoped that no one would see it. But when it was time for recess, her friend Ben saw her backpack and opened it. He saw the coins and shouted, "Look, Lily has the teacher's coins! She stole them!" + +Lily felt very embarrassed. All the other kids looked at her and laughed. She wanted to cry. She said, "No, I did not steal them. They are mine. My grandma gave them to me." + +But no one believed her. They said she was lying and called her a thief. The teacher came and saw the coins. He was very mad. He said, "Lily, how could you do this? You have to give back the coins and go to the principal's office." + +Lily tried to explain, but the teacher did not listen. He took the coins and her backpack and dragged her to the principal's office. Lily felt very sad and scared. She wished she had never brought the coins to school. She wished she had listened to her grandma, who told her to keep them safe at home. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with their scooters in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many leaves. Lily has an idea. + +"Let's play hide and seek with our scooters!" she says to Ben. + +"OK, how do we play?" Ben asks. + +Lily tells him the rules. "One of us counts to ten and the other one hides their scooter behind the tree. Then the one who counts has to find the hidden scooter. If they find it, they win. If they don't, they lose." + +Ben nods. He likes the game. He says, "I will count first. You hide your scooter. Ready, go!" + +Lily runs to the tree with her scooter. She looks for a good spot to hide it. She sees a big hole under the roots. She puts her scooter in the hole and covers it with leaves. She thinks, "Ben will never find it here!" + +Ben counts to ten. He says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He walks to the tree and looks around. He does not see Lily's scooter. He looks behind the trunk, under the branches, and between the flowers. He does not see Lily's scooter. He says, "Where is your scooter, Lily? I can't find it!" + +Lily giggles. She comes out from behind the tree. She says, "My scooter is hidden very well. You lose, Ben!" + +Ben frowns. He says, "That's not fair! You cheated! You can't hide your scooter in a hole!" + +Lily says, "Yes, I can! That's part of the game! You have to look everywhere!" + +Ben says, "No, you don't! That's too hard! You have to hide your scooter where I can see it!" + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They forget to have fun. They forget to be friends. They forget to share their scooters. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big temple in the park. It is bright and shiny. + +"Wow, look at that!" Sam says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can we go inside?" Mia asks. "I want to see more." + +Their moms say yes. They walk to the temple. They see a door. It is open. They go inside. + +The temple is dark and quiet. They see many statues and paintings. They are old and dusty. Sam and Mia are curious. They touch and look at everything. + +"Who are they?" Mia asks, pointing at a statue. + +"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe they are gods or kings." + +They hear a noise. It is loud and scary. They turn around. They see a man. He is angry. He wears a robe and a hat. He is the temple keeper. + +"What are you doing here?" he shouts. "This is a sacred place. You are not allowed to touch anything. Go away!" + +Sam and Mia are scared. They run to the door. They find their moms. They hug them. + +"Sorry, sir," their moms say. "They are just children. They don't know better." + +The temple keeper is still angry. He says they have to leave. He says they have to respect the temple. + +Sam and Mia say sorry too. They don't want to make him mad. They don't want to start trouble. They leave the temple. They go back to the park. They play with their toys. They forget about the temple. They are happy again. +Lily and Tom were having dinner with their mom and dad. They ate some chicken, some rice, and some peas. Lily and Tom did not like peas, but they ate them anyway. They wanted to have dessert after dinner. + +"Mom, can we have dessert?" Lily asked. + +"What do you say?" Mom asked. + +"Please," Lily said. + +"Me too, please," Tom said. + +Mom smiled. "Okay, you can have dessert. But you have to wait a little bit. I have a surprise for you." + +Lily and Tom were excited. They wondered what the surprise was. Maybe it was cake, or ice cream, or cookies. They waited patiently for Mom to bring the dessert. + +Mom came back with a big tray. She put it on the table and lifted the cover. Lily and Tom gasped. On the tray, there were four bowls of peas. + +"Surprise!" Mom said. "You get to have more peas for dessert. Isn't that funny?" + +Lily and Tom did not think it was funny. They thought it was mean. They did not want to eat more peas. They wanted to have something sweet and yummy. They looked at Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad were laughing. + +Lily and Tom started to cry. They did not like this surprise. They did not like this dessert. They did not like this dinner. They wished they had a different mom and dad. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they want to go to the pool. They ask their moms if they can go. + +"Yes, you can go, but be careful," Sara's mom says. "The pool is big and deep. You need to wear your floaties and stay near the edge." + +"OK, mom, we will," Sara says. She puts on her pink floaties and her sun hat. Ben puts on his blue floaties and his sunglasses. They hold hands and walk to the pool. + +At the pool, they see many people. Some are swimming, some are splashing, some are sunbathing. Sara and Ben find a spot near the edge. They sit on the steps and dip their feet in the water. + +"Look, Sara, a duck!" Ben says. He points to a brown duck that is swimming in the pool. "Can we touch it?" + +"No, Ben, we can't," Sara says. "The duck is not a toy. It is a living thing. It might bite us or get scared. We should leave it alone." + +"But I want to touch it," Ben says. He stands up and walks towards the duck. He reaches out his hand to grab it. + +"Ben, no, stop!" Sara says. She tries to pull him back, but he is too fast. He gets close to the duck and tries to catch it. + +The duck does not like that. It quacks loudly and flaps its wings. It pecks Ben's hand and splashes water in his face. Ben cries out and lets go of the duck. He falls into the water and sinks. + +Sara screams and runs to get help. She sees a lifeguard and tells him what happened. The lifeguard jumps into the pool and pulls Ben out. He checks if Ben is OK and gives him a towel. + +"Are you OK, Ben?" Sara asks. She is scared and sorry. + +"I'm OK, Sara," Ben says. He is wet and sore. "But that was bad. The duck was bad. It hurt me and made me fall." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Sara says. "But you should not have touched the duck. You should have listened to me and your mom. The pool is not a place to play with ducks. It is a place to swim and be safe." + +"I know, Sara," Ben says. "I was wrong. I learned my lesson. Next time, I will be careful and listen to you and my mom. Can we still be friends?" + +"Of course, Ben," Sara says. She hugs him and smiles. "We are always friends. Come on, let's go home and have some ice cream." + +They hold hands and walk back to their moms. They say sorry and thank you to the lifeguard and the duck. They leave the pool and go home. They have some ice cream and play with their toys. They are happy and glad. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with toys. One day, they went to the toy store with their mom. They saw many toys that they wanted. + +"Look, mom, a big doll house!" Lily said. "Can I have it, please?" + +"Look, mom, a fast car!" Ben said. "Can I have it, please?" + +Mom shook her head. "I'm sorry, my loves, but those toys are too expensive. We can only buy one small toy each." + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They wished they had more money to buy the toys they liked. They walked around the store and looked for small toys. + +They saw a shelf with books. They liked books. They picked up a book each. The books had colorful pictures and stories. + +"Look, mom, a book about princesses!" Lily said. + +"Look, mom, a book about dinosaurs!" Ben said. + +Mom smiled. "Those are good choices, my loves. Books are not expensive, but they are very valuable. They can teach you many things and make you happy." + +Lily and Ben felt happy. They hugged their mom and thanked her. They paid for the books and went home. They read the books together and had fun. They forgot about the expensive toys. They realized that books were better than toys. They made a wish that they would always have books to read. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and draw pictures. One day, they decided to draw a big dragon with many colors. + +"What color do you want the dragon to be?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I want it to be green, like the grass," Ben said. + +"I want it to be purple, like the flowers," Lily said. + +They looked at each other and frowned. They did not agree on the color of the dragon. + +They began to discuss. They said why they liked their color and why the other color was not good. They raised their voices and made faces. + +But then they stopped. They remembered that they were best friends. They did not want to fight over a color. + +They looked at their crayons and had an idea. They smiled and said sorry to each other. + +"Why don't we make the dragon both green and purple?" Lily suggested. + +"That sounds good. Then it will be a mighty dragon with two colors," Ben agreed. + +They nodded and started to draw. They made the dragon's body green and its wings purple. They added some yellow for the fire and some blue for the sky. They were happy with their picture. They showed it to their mom and dad, who praised them for their creativity and cooperation. + +They hugged each other and said, "We are best friends. We like all the colors." +Sara and Tom are playing in the kitchen. They see a big jar of sugar on the shelf. Sara wants to taste it. She climbs on a chair and reaches for the jar. Tom says, "No, Sara, that is not for us. That is for Mommy to make cake. Put it back." + +But Sara does not listen. She opens the jar and takes a big spoon of sugar. She puts it in her mouth. It is very sweet and sticky. She likes it. She smiles and says, "Mmm, yummy!" + +Tom is angry. He wants some sugar too. He tries to grab the spoon from Sara. They pull and tug. The jar falls from the shelf. It breaks on the floor. Sugar spills everywhere. It makes a big mess. + +Mommy hears the noise. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the broken jar and the sugar. She sees Sara and Tom with sugar on their faces and hands. She is very mad. She says, "What have you done? You are naughty children. You wasted the sugar. You made a mess. You could have hurt yourselves. Go to your room. Now!" + +She slaps their hands. It hurts. They cry. They say, "Sorry, Mommy, sorry." They run to their room. They are sad. They wish they had not taken the sugar. + +Mommy cleans the kitchen. She is still mad. But she also loves Sara and Tom. She knows they are young and curious. She thinks of a way to teach them a lesson. She makes a cake. But she does not use sugar. She uses salt. It is yellow and looks like sugar. But it tastes very bad. + +She brings the cake to their room. She says, "I made you a cake. Do you want some?" Sara and Tom are surprised. They think Mommy is not mad anymore. They think the cake is sweet and yummy. They say, "Yes, please, Mommy, yes." + +They take a bite of the cake. They spit it out. It is salty and bitter. They do not like it. They say, "Yuck, Mommy, yuck. This is not cake. This is bad." + +Mommy says, "This is what happens when you take things that are not yours. This is what sugar tastes like when you use too much. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Tom nod. They understand. They say, "We are sorry, Mommy, we are sorry. We will not take sugar again. We will ask you first. We will be good." + +Mommy hugs them. She says, "I forgive you, Sara and Tom. I love you. But next time, listen to me. And listen to each other. OK?" + +Sara and Tom say, "OK, Mommy, OK." They hug her back. They love her. They hope she will make a real cake soon. A sweet and yummy cake. With sugar. But not too much. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the field near their homes. The field has many flowers and trees and birds. Anna and Ben run and laugh and chase each other in the field. + +One day, they see a cute rabbit in the field. The rabbit has white fur and long ears and a pink nose. Anna and Ben want to pet the rabbit. They run after the rabbit, but the rabbit is fast and hops away. + +"Wait, rabbit, wait!" Anna says. "We want to be your friends!" + +"Come back, rabbit, come back!" Ben says. "We have carrots for you!" + +The rabbit pauses and looks at Anna and Ben. It sees the carrots in their hands. It likes carrots. It hops closer to Anna and Ben, but still keeps some distance. + +"Hello, rabbit," Anna says softly. "We are Anna and Ben. What is your name?" + +The rabbit does not answer. It does not know how to talk. It sniffs the carrots and nibbles on one. It is yummy. + +"Can we pet you, rabbit?" Ben asks gently. "You are so cute and soft." + +The rabbit does not mind. It lets Anna and Ben touch its fur and ears and nose. It feels nice. Anna and Ben smile and giggle. They make a new friend in the field. +Sam and Tom are friends. They like to play at the zoo. They see many animals. They see a lion, a monkey, a giraffe and a seal. + +The seal is fat and gray. He has a ball on his nose. He can clap his flippers. He can splash water. Sam and Tom think he is funny. + +"Let's plan a game with the seal," Sam says. "We can throw him fish and he can catch them." + +"Good idea," Tom says. "But we need to be careful. The zookeeper might see us." + +They look around. They do not see the zookeeper. They see a bucket of fish. They take some fish and run to the seal. + +"Hey, seal, do you want to play?" Sam asks. He throws a fish to the seal. + +The seal sees the fish. He jumps and catches it. He makes a loud noise. He likes the game. + +"Here, have another one," Tom says. He throws another fish to the seal. + +The seal catches it too. He claps his flippers. He splashes water. He makes more noise. + +Sam and Tom laugh. They have fun with the seal. They do not see the zookeeper coming. + +"Hey, you two, what are you doing?" the zookeeper asks. He is angry. "You are not supposed to feed the seal. He is already fat enough. Give me the bucket of fish." + +Sam and Tom are scared. They drop the bucket of fish. They say sorry to the zookeeper. + +The zookeeper takes the bucket of fish. He tells them to leave. He feeds the seal the rest of the fish. + +The seal is happy. He has a full belly. He winks at Sam and Tom. He thanks them for the game. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the yard. They had a modest house with a big tree and a swing. One day, they saw a shiny automobile parked in front of their house. It was red and had four doors and a horn. + +"Wow, look at that automobile!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and big. I want to sit in it and pretend to drive." + +"Me too!" Ben said. "Let's go and see if we can open the door." + +They ran to the automobile and tried to pull the handle. But the door was locked. They tried the other doors, but they were also locked. + +"Who does this automobile belong to?" Lily asked. "Why is it here?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it is someone who came to visit Mom or Dad. Maybe they will let us play with it later." + +They went back to the yard and waited for their parents to come out. They hoped they would permit them to sit in the automobile and honk the horn. + +But soon, a man came out of the house next door. He had a hat and a coat and a suitcase. He walked to the automobile and put his suitcase in the trunk. He opened the door and got in. + +"Hey, mister!" Lily shouted. "Is this your automobile?" + +"Yes, it is," the man said. "Why do you ask?" + +"Can we play with it?" Ben asked. "Can we sit in it and honk the horn?" + +The man shook his head. "No, you can't," he said. "This is my automobile and I need it to go to work. You can't touch it or play with it. It is not a toy." + +Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They wanted to play with the automobile so badly. They thought it was unfair that the man would not let them. + +"Please, mister, please!" Lily begged. "Just for a little while. We will be careful and not break anything." + +"No, I said no!" the man said. "Now go away and leave me alone. I have to go." + +He started the engine and drove away. Lily and Ben watched him go. They felt like crying. + +They went back to the yard and played with their old toys. They did not have fun. They wished they had a shiny automobile of their own. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Sometimes they watch movies on the TV. Anna likes movies with animals. Ben likes movies with cars. + +One day, Anna and Ben are at Anna's house. Anna's mom says they can watch a movie. She gives them a DVD. It has a picture of a dog and a boy on it. + +"Can we watch this movie?" Anna asks Ben. + +"OK," Ben says. He likes dogs. He thinks they are intelligent. He hopes the dog in the movie can do tricks. + +Anna and Ben sit on the couch. Anna's mom puts the DVD in the TV. The movie starts. The dog and the boy are friends. They go on adventures. They help people. They have fun. + +Anna and Ben like the movie. They laugh and clap. They think the dog and the boy are brave and kind. They wish they had a dog like that. + +When the movie ends, Anna and Ben hug each other. They thank Anna's mom for the movie. + +"That was a good movie," Anna says. + +"Yes, it was," Ben says. "The dog was very intelligent. He could talk and read and drive a car." + +Anna nods. She agrees. She thinks the dog was amazing. She wonders if he is real. + +"Maybe we can find a dog like that someday," she says. + +"Maybe," Ben says. "But for now, we have each other. And we are friends." + +They smile and hold hands. They are happy. They love movies and dogs and friends. +Lila and Ben are at the toy store with their mom. They see a big doll house that they like. It has many rooms and furniture and dolls. They want to play with it. + +"Mom, can we have the doll house?" Lila asks. + +Mom looks at the price tag. It is very high. She shakes her head. + +"No, sweeties, the doll house is too expensive. We cannot buy it today." + +Lila and Ben feel sad. They really want the doll house. + +"Please, mom, please!" Ben begs. + +Mom sighs. She loves her children, but she cannot afford the doll house. + +"Listen, Lila and Ben. I know you like the doll house, but we have to be patient. Maybe we can save some money and buy it later. Or maybe you can ask Santa for it for Christmas. But we cannot get it now. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Ben nod. They understand, but they are still disappointed. + +"Okay, mom. We will be patient. But can we at least look at it for a little while?" Lila asks. + +Mom smiles. She knows they are good children. + +"Sure, you can look at it for a little while. But then we have to go home, okay?" + +"Okay, mom. Thank you!" Lila and Ben say. + +They run to the doll house and tell each other stories about the dolls and their lives. They pretend they are the dolls and have fun. They forget about the price for a moment and enjoy the toy. Mom watches them and feels happy. She hopes they will get the doll house someday. +Lila and Ben like to ride their bikes in the park. They have helmets to keep their heads safe. They have pedals to make their bikes go fast. They have bells to say hello to other people. + +One day, they see a big puddle on the path. Lila wants to go around it, but Ben wants to go through it. He thinks it will be fun to splash the water. + +"Come on, Lila, let's go through the puddle!" Ben says. + +"No, Ben, it's too wet and dirty. We will get our bikes and clothes wet and dirty too. Let's go around it," Lila says. + +But Ben does not listen. He pedals hard and rides into the puddle. He makes a big splash and laughs. But then he feels something cold and wet on his face. He looks up and sees a big cloud. It starts to rain. + +"Oh no, it's raining!" Ben says. "Now I'm wet and cold and dirty. And so is my bike." + +Lila rides up to him. She is dry and clean. She has a big umbrella in her basket. She opens it and covers Ben and his bike with it. + +"Here, Ben, you can share my umbrella. It will keep you and your bike dry," Lila says. + +"Thank you, Lila. You are very kind and smart. And you have a strong umbrella. I'm sorry I did not listen to you. Next time, I will go around the puddle," Ben says. + +They ride back home together, under the umbrella. They ring their bells and say hello to other people. They are happy to be friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big car. A man comes out of the car. He has a lot of money. He is rich. + +The man sees Lily and Ben. He smiles. He says, "Hello, kids. Do you want some candy?" He holds out a bag of candy. Lily and Ben love candy. They run to the man. + +The man says, "What are your names?" Lily says, "I am Lily." Ben says, "I am Ben." The man says, "Nice to meet you, Lily and Ben. I am Mr. Fox. Do you want to see my car?" Lily and Ben nod. They like cars. + +Mr. Fox takes them to his car. He opens the door. He says, "Get in, kids. I have more candy inside." Lily and Ben get in the car. They see more candy. They are happy. + +Mr. Fox gets in the car. He closes the door. He locks the door. He starts the car. He drives away. Lily and Ben are scared. They want to go back to the park. They want to see their moms. They cry. They scream. They shake the door. But the door does not open. Mr. Fox laughs. He says, "You are mine now, kids. You will never see your moms again." Lily and Ben are very sad. They wish they did not take the candy. They wish they did not trust Mr. Fox. They wish they knew his name was bad. +Lily was a troubled girl. She did not like to share her toys with her brother Tom. She always wanted to play with his cars and trains, but she never let him touch her dolls and books. One day, Tom had a new toy. It was a shiny red fire truck with a loud siren and a ladder. Lily wanted it very much. + +"Can I play with your fire truck, Tom?" she asked.
