+"No, Lily, it is mine. You have your own toys," Tom said.
+
+"But I like your fire truck. It is so pretty and fun," Lily said.
+
+"Too bad. You can't have it. Go away," Tom said.
+
+Lily was angry. She tried to grab the fire truck from Tom, but he held it tight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. Then, Lily bit Tom's thumb. Tom screamed and let go of the fire truck. Lily smiled and ran away with it.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Lily, you are so mean! You hurt me!" Tom cried.
+
+"Mama, mama, help me! Lily bit me!" he called.
+
+Mama came and saw Tom's thumb. It was red and swollen. She felt sorry for him. She took him to the bathroom and washed his thumb. She put some cream and a band-aid on it. She gave him a hug and a kiss.
+
+"There, there, Tom. You will be okay. Lily was very naughty. She should not bite you," Mama said.
+
+"Mama, can I have my fire truck back?" Tom asked.
+
+"Of course, Tom. It is your toy. Lily has to give it back to you and say sorry," Mama said.
+
+She went to find Lily, who was playing with the fire truck in her room. She looked happy and proud. Mama was angry.
+
+"Lily, what did you do to your brother? You bit his thumb. That is very bad. You made him suffer. You have to give back his fire truck and say sorry," Mama said.
+
+Lily did not want to do that. She liked the fire truck. She did not care about Tom's thumb. She did not want to say sorry.
+
+"No, Mama, it is my fire truck. I want it. Tom is a baby. He does not need it," Lily said.
+
+"Lily, don't be selfish and rude. You have to share and be kind. The fire truck is not yours. It is Tom's. You have to give it back and say sorry, or you will be in trouble," Mama said.
+
+Lily still did not listen. She held the fire truck and said no. Mama was very angry. She took the fire truck from Lily and gave it back to Tom. She told Lily to go to her bed and stay there until she was ready to say sorry. Lily was sad and mad. She did not like to be in trouble. She did not like to say sorry. She did not like to share. She was a troubled girl.
+The boy was very sad. He had no friends to play with. He lived in a big house with his mom and dad, but they were always busy. He felt helpless and lonely.
+
+One day, he saw a little dog outside his window. The dog was dirty and hungry. It had no collar or tag. The boy felt sorry for the dog. He opened the window and called to the dog.
+
+"Hey, dog! Come here! I have some food for you!"
+
+The dog heard the boy and wagged its tail. It ran to the window and jumped inside. The boy gave the dog some bread and milk. The dog ate and drank happily. Then it licked the boy's face and snuggled with him. The boy smiled and hugged the dog.
+
+"I like you, dog. You are my friend. Can I keep you?"
+
+The dog barked and wagged its tail again. It nodded its head. The boy was very happy. He had a friend to play with. He felt hopeful and loved.
+
+He ran to his mom and dad and showed them the dog. He told them how he found the dog and how he wanted to keep it. His mom and dad looked at the dog and the boy. They saw how happy they were together. They agreed to let the boy keep the dog.
+
+They gave the dog a bath and a name. They called him Spot. They bought him a collar and a tag. They took him to the vet and the park. They played with him and the boy. The boy and the dog were very happy. They were not helpless and lonely anymore. They had each other.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. They have a big helicopter toy. It can fly in the air. It is fast and loud.
+
+One day, Tim and Sam want to play with the helicopter. But they have a problem. They only have one helicopter. They both want to fly it. They do not want to share.
+
+"Let me fly the helicopter!" Tim says.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sam says.
+
+They pull and tug on the helicopter. They are angry. They do not serve each other.
+
+Suddenly, the helicopter breaks. It falls to the ground. It makes a loud noise. It does not fly anymore. Tim and Sam are sad. They cry.
+
+They look at the broken helicopter. They wish they had shared. They say sorry to each other. But it is too late. The helicopter is gone. They have no toy to play with. They have a bad ending.
+Lily was a very organized girl. She liked to keep her toys in neat boxes, her books in order, and her clothes in the right drawers. She did not like it when things were messy or out of place.
+
+One day, Lily's mom told her it was time to take a shower. Lily did not want to take a shower. She wanted to play with her dolls. She said to her mom, "No, I don't want to take a shower. I want to play. Let me play!"
+
+Her mom said, "Lily, you have to take a shower. You are dirty and sweaty. You need to be clean and fresh. Taking a shower is good for you. Come on, let's go to the bathroom."
+
+Lily did not listen to her mom. She threw a tantrum. She screamed and cried and kicked. She demanded to play with her dolls. She said, "No, no, no! I want to play! I don't want to take a shower! You can't make me!"
+
+Her mom was very patient. She tried to calm Lily down. She said, "Lily, please stop crying. I know you love your dolls, but you can play with them later. Taking a shower is not a punishment. It is a fun and relaxing thing to do. You can use your favorite soap and shampoo. You can sing and splash and make bubbles. You can even bring one of your dolls with you. How about that?"
+
+Lily stopped crying. She thought about what her mom said. She liked the idea of bringing a doll with her. She liked to sing and splash and make bubbles. She realized that taking a shower was not so bad after all. She said to her mom, "Okay, mom. I will take a shower. But can I bring my doll with me?"
+
+Her mom smiled and nodded. She said, "Of course, you can. Come on, let's go to the bathroom. I will help you wash your hair and dry your body. Then you can put on your pajamas and play with your dolls until bedtime."
+
+Lily hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. You are the best mom ever."
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a very good girl. I am proud of you for being organized and for listening to me."
+
+Lily and her mom went to the bathroom. Lily took a shower with her doll. She sang and splashed and made bubbles. She had a lot of fun. She felt clean and fresh. She was happy.
+
+The moral of the story is: Taking a shower is not a bad thing. It is good for your health and your mood. You should listen to your parents when they tell you to do something. They know what is best for you. They love you and want you to be happy.
+Tim and Mia like to play hide and seek in the garden. They take turns to count and hide. One day, Tim counts to ten and looks for Mia. He sees her pink dress behind a big bush. He runs to the bush and says, "I found you!"
+
+But Mia does not answer. She does not move. Tim pulls the bush and sees Mia's face. She is crying. She has a red spot on her arm. Tim asks, "What happened? Why are you crying?"
+
+Mia points to her arm and says, "A bad insect bit me. It hurts a lot. I am miserable."
+
+Tim feels sorry for Mia. He hugs her and says, "I am sorry. Let me help you. We can go to Mom and she can make it better."
+
+He takes Mia's hand and they walk to the house. Mom sees them and asks, "What's wrong, my darlings?"
+
+Tim tells Mom what happened. Mom looks at Mia's arm and says, "Oh, you poor thing. You have a bee sting. Don't worry, I have some cream and ice for that. It will make the pain go away."
+
+She takes Mia to the kitchen and puts some cream and ice on her arm. She gives her a kiss and a cookie. Mia smiles and says, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best."
+
+Tim smiles too. He says, "I am glad you are feeling better, Mia. You are my best friend."
+
+They hug and say, "We love you, Mom."
+
+Mom hugs them back and says, "I love you too, my sweeties. Now, do you want to play some more?"
+
+Tim and Mia nod and say, "Yes, please. But no more hiding near the bees."
+Tim and Mia are playing with a big rubber ball in the park. They like to push the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they push the ball very hard and it bounces away. Then they run after it and laugh.
+
+One time, Tim pushes the ball so hard that it flies over the fence and lands in the pond. Mia says, "Oh no, Tim! How can we get the ball back?"
+
+Tim says, "I have an idea. We can use this stick to reach the ball. Come on, Mia, help me." He picks up a long stick and walks to the fence. Mia follows him.
+
+Tim tries to poke the ball with the stick, but it is too far. He leans over the fence and stretches his arm. Mia holds his legs and says, "Be careful, Tim. Don't fall in the water."
+
+Tim pokes harder and harder, but the ball does not move. He feels dizzy and loses his balance. He falls over the fence and splashes into the pond. Mia screams, "Tim!"
+
+Tim is wet and cold, but he is not hurt. He grabs the ball and swims to the edge. Mia helps him out of the water. They hug each other and say, "We did it! We got the ball back!"
+
+They are happy, but they are also dirty and smelly. They decide to go home and change their clothes. They walk to the gate and see their mom waiting for them. She says, "What happened to you two? You look like ducks!"
+
+Tim and Mia giggle and say, "We had fun, mom. We played with the rubber ball and we pushed it and we caught it and we poked it and we fell in the pond and we got it back and we are dizzy and we love you!"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I love you too, you silly ducks. Come on, let's go home and get dry and warm." She takes their hands and leads them to the car. They put the rubber ball in the trunk and drive away.
+Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box of old things in Tom's basement. They saw many fun things, like hats, books, and toys. But Sue liked a shiny dish the most. It was round and silver, and had a picture of a bird on it.
+
+"Can I have this dish?" Sue asked Tom.
+
+"No, it is my grandma's dish. She mailed it to me from far away. She said it is very special and I have to be careful with it," Tom said.
+
+"But I want it. It is so pretty. Please, Tom, let me have it," Sue begged.
+
+Tom did not want to share his dish, but he did not want to make Sue sad either. He thought for a while, and then he had an idea.
+
+"OK, Sue, you can have the dish. But only for one day. Then you have to mail it back to me. Promise?" Tom said.
+
+Sue was very happy. She promised to mail the dish back to Tom the next day. She took the dish and ran to her house. She put the dish on her table and looked at it. She felt very proud.
+
+The next day, Sue forgot to mail the dish back to Tom. She was too busy playing with her dolls. She was careless and left the dish on the table. Her little brother saw the dish and thought it was a toy. He grabbed the dish and threw it in the air. The dish fell on the floor and broke into many pieces.
+
+Sue heard the noise and ran to the table. She saw the broken dish and cried. She knew she had done a bad thing. She had broken Tom's grandma's dish. She had not kept her promise. She had lost her friend. She felt very sorry.
+Sara was a tall girl who liked to play in the garden. She had a secret friend who lived in the flowers. Her friend was a fairy with wings and a dress. The fairy's name was Lily.
+
+One day, Sara was looking for Lily in the garden. She saw a bright light behind a rose. She ran to the rose and peeked behind it. There was Lily, smiling at her.
+
+"Hello, Sara!" Lily said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Sara said. "What do you want to play?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. "How about hide and seek?" she suggested. "You count to ten and I hide. Then you try to find me."
+
+"Okay!" Sara agreed. She closed her eyes and started to count. "One, two, three..."
+
+Lily flew away and hid under a leaf. She giggled softly. She liked to play with Sara. Sara was kind and gentle.
+
+Sara finished counting and opened her eyes. "Ready or not, here I come!" she shouted. She looked around the garden, trying to spot Lily. She saw a butterfly, a bee, a snail, but no fairy.
+
+She walked to the other side of the garden, where there was a big tree. She looked up and saw a bird's nest. She wondered if Lily was hiding there. She stretched her arms and tried to reach the nest. But she was not tall enough.
+
+She heard a laugh behind her. She turned around and saw Lily sitting on a branch. Lily waved at her.
+
+"Found you!" Sara said. She smiled and clapped her hands.
+
+Lily flew down and landed on Sara's shoulder. She hugged Sara's cheek. "You are good at finding me!" she said. "You are my best friend!"
+
+Sara hugged Lily back. "You are my best friend, too!" she said. "You are the best fairy ever!"
+
+They hugged each other and laughed. They were happy to play in the garden. They were happy to be friends.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a lady sitting on a bench. She had a big hat and a pretty dress. She was reading a book.
+
+"Who is she?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe she is a princess," Tom said.
+
+They wanted to talk to her. They walked to the bench. They said hello.
+
+The lady looked up. She smiled. She had a charming face.
+
+"Hello, children. What are your names?" she asked.
+
+"I'm Lily and this is Tom. We are playing in the park. Do you like the park?" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, I do. The park is very nice. I like the flowers and the birds. And I like to read books. Do you like books?" the lady said.
+
+"Yes, we do. We have many books at home. Our mom reads to us every night. What is your book about?" Tom said.
+
+"My book is about a fairy tale. It has a prince, a dragon and a magic sword. Do you like fairy tales?" the lady said.
+
+"Yes, we do. They are fun and exciting. Can you tell us your fairy tale?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course. Come, sit with me. Lean close and listen," the lady said.
+
+She opened her book. She started to read. Lily and Tom leaned close and listened. They forgot about the swing, the slide and the run. They only wanted to hear the fairy tale. The lady was very kind. She read to them until the sun went down. They had a wonderful time.
+Lily and Max were going to camp with their mom and dad. They were very happy. They packed their bags, their toys, and their snacks. They got in the car and drove for a long time.
+
+When they got to the camp, they saw a big tent, a fire, and some chairs. Mom and dad said they could play, but they had to stay close and be careful. Lily and Max nodded. They ran around the tent, looking for bugs and sticks.
+
+They saw a big bush near the tent. It looked like a good place to hide. Lily and Max ran to the bush and crawled inside. They giggled and whispered. They decided to peek out and scare mom and dad.
+
+They waited for a while, until they heard mom and dad talking. They sounded serious. Lily and Max peeked out of the bush. They saw mom and dad looking at a map. They heard them say words like "lost", "wrong", and "help".
+
+Lily and Max felt scared. They did not want to be lost. They did not want to scare mom and dad. They crawled out of the bush and ran to them. They hugged them and said they were sorry.
+
+Mom and dad smiled and hugged them back. They said they were not really lost, they just made a mistake. They said they were not mad, they were just worried. They said they loved them and they were glad they were safe.
+
+Lily and Max felt better. They said they loved them too. They said they were sorry for hiding. They said they wanted to have fun at camp.
+
+Mom and dad said they could still have fun. They said they would fix the map and find the right way. They said they would make some hot dogs and marshmallows. They said they would tell some stories and sing some songs.
+
+Lily and Max cheered. They said they liked hot dogs and marshmallows. They said they liked stories and songs. They said they liked camp. They said they liked mom and dad.
+
+They all hugged and laughed. They went to the fire and sat on the chairs. They ate and talked and sang. They had a good time at camp. They were happy.
+Tom and Anna like to play with their toy cars and trucks. They have many different kinds of equipment, like a crane, a bulldozer, a fire truck and a police car. They pretend to drive them around the room and make noises.
+
+One day, they see a big truck parked outside their house. It has a sign that says "Dangerous". Tom and Anna are curious. They want to see what is inside the truck.
+
+They sneak out of the house and climb into the truck. They find a lot of buttons and levers and wires. They think it looks fun. They start to push and pull and twist them.
+
+Suddenly, the truck starts to move. It makes a loud noise and smoke comes out of the pipe. Tom and Anna are scared. They don't know how to stop the truck. They scream for help.
+
+Their mom hears them and runs outside. She sees the truck rolling down the street. She is very worried. She calls the police and the firemen. They come quickly and stop the truck. They take Tom and Anna out of the truck and check if they are hurt.
+
+Mom is very angry and sad. She hugs Tom and Anna and tells them they were very naughty and foolish. She says they could have been hurt or hurt someone else. She says they should never play with dangerous equipment. She says they should only play with their toy cars and trucks.
+
+Tom and Anna are very sorry. They say they are sorry to mom and to the police and the firemen. They say they will never do it again. They say they love mom and they love their toy cars and trucks. Mom says she loves them too and she is glad they are safe. She says they have to go inside and have a time out. Tom and Anna agree. They go inside and sit quietly in their room. They think about what they did and what they learned. They hope mom will forgive them soon.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to fill their buckets with water and pour it on the flowers. They also liked to splash each other and laugh.
+
+But there was a mosquito that did not like their fun. It buzzed around them and tried to bite them. It was very hungry and mean.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cried. "The mosquito bit me! It hurts!"
+
+Tom saw the mosquito on Lily's arm. He was angry and brave. He tried to hit it with his hand, but it was too fast. It flew away and came back.
+
+"Go away, mosquito!" Tom shouted. "You are not nice! You are not our friend!"
+
+The mosquito did not listen. It wanted more blood. It flew towards Tom's face.
+
+But then, something bright and loud came from the sky. It was a firework. It made a big boom and a lot of colors. Tom and Lily looked up and smiled. They liked fireworks. They were pretty and fun.
+
+The mosquito did not like fireworks. It was scared and confused. It did not know where to go. It flew into the firework and got burned. It fell to the ground and did not buzz anymore.
+
+Tom and Lily did not see the mosquito. They did not care. They hugged each other and watched the fireworks. They were happy and safe. They filled their buckets with water and poured it on the flowers. They also splashed each other and laughed.
+Tom and Anna were twins who liked to go to the zoo with their mom. They loved to see all the different animals, but their favorite was the gorilla. The gorilla was big and strong and had black fur. Sometimes he would make funny noises and faces at them.
+
+One day, when they were at the zoo, they saw a new sign next to the gorilla's cage. It said: "Meet King, the wealthy gorilla. He has a lot of bananas, toys and friends. He is very happy and generous. Do you want to say hello to him?"
+
+Tom and Anna were curious and excited. They wanted to meet King and see his bananas and toys. They asked their mom if they could go closer to the cage. Their mom said yes, but told them to be careful and respectful.
+
+They walked up to the cage and saw King sitting on a big pile of yellow bananas. He also had a ball, a doll, a hat and a book. He looked very proud and happy. He saw Tom and Anna and smiled. He picked up a banana and threw it to them.
+
+"Hi, King!" Tom said, catching the banana. "You have a lot of bananas. Can we have some?"
+
+"Sure, sure!" King said, nodding his head. "You can have some. I have plenty. I am a wealthy gorilla. I share with my friends."
+
+"Thank you, King!" Anna said, peeling the banana. "You are very nice. Can we see your toys?"
+
+"Of course, of course!" King said, waving his hand. "You can see my toys. I have many. I like to play with them. They are fun."
+
+Tom and Anna knelt down and looked at King's toys. They were colorful and shiny. They asked King if they could touch them. King said yes, but told them to be gentle and careful.
+
+They played with King's toys for a while, and King played with them too. They had a lot of fun. They laughed and talked and made friends. They forgot about the other animals and the time.
+
+Their mom watched them and smiled. She was glad that they were having fun and learning. She thought that King was a very special gorilla. He was wealthy, but he was also kind and generous.

+Tom and Ann liked to play with dough. They had many colors of dough and they made animals and shapes with it. One day, they wanted to make a big cake with all their dough. They put the dough in a big bowl and mixed it well.
+
+"Let's put the cake in the oven and see what happens," Tom said.
+
+"Okay, but we have to ask mom first," Ann said.
+
+They ran to the kitchen and asked mom if they could use the oven. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful and not touch the hot oven. She helped them put the bowl in the oven and set the timer.
+
+Tom and Ann waited for the cake to be ready. They played with their toys and read some books. They were very excited to see their cake.
+
+But when the timer rang, they had a big surprise. They opened the oven and saw that the bowl was empty. There was no cake, only some crumbs and smoke.
+
+"Where is our cake?" Tom asked.
+
+"It disappeared!" Ann said.
+
+They looked at mom and saw that she was smiling. She had a big slice of cake in her hand.
+
+"Did you eat our cake, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe I did," mom said. "It smelled so good and I was hungry. And you two were so lazy, you didn't watch the oven."
+
+Tom and Ann were sad and angry. They wanted to eat their cake too.
+
+"Mom, that's not fair!" Ann said.
+
+"Mom, you are naughty!" Tom said.
+
+Mom laughed and hugged them. She said she was sorry and she was only joking. She had another cake in the fridge that she had made earlier. She gave them each a slice and they ate it happily.
+
+They forgave mom and said they loved her. They also learned a lesson: never leave your dough in the oven unattended.
+Tim and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big balloon with many colors. It is tied to a small box. Tim wants to see the balloon closer. He runs to the box and pulls the string.
+
+"Tim, stop!" Mia shouts. "That is not a toy. That is oxygen. It helps people breathe when they are sick."
+
+But Tim does not listen. He pulls harder and harder. The string breaks. The balloon flies away very fast. It makes a loud noise. Pop!
+
+Tim and Mia are scared. They see a man running to them. He is wearing a white coat. He looks angry.
+
+"Who did this?" he asks. "Who popped my oxygen balloon? Do you know how dangerous that is?"
+
+Tim and Mia do not know what to say. They feel bad. They did not mean to hurt the man or the balloon. They just wanted to play.
+
+"Sorry, sir," Tim says. "We did not know. We thought it was a toy."
+
+The man sighs. He sees that Tim and Mia are just kids. He is not so angry anymore. He tries to explain.
+
+"This is not a toy. This is oxygen. It is a gas that we need to live. Some people need more oxygen than others. They use balloons like this to breathe better. If you pop the balloon, you waste the oxygen and make a loud noise. That can hurt your ears and scare other people."
+
+Tim and Mia nod. They understand a little bit. They say sorry again. They promise to be more careful next time. They ask the man if he has another balloon.
+
+The man smiles. He says he has one more. He shows them the balloon. He lets them touch it gently. He tells them the colors and the shapes. He says they can play with the balloon, but they have to be gentle and not pull the string.
+
+Tim and Mia are happy. They thank the man. They play with the balloon. They are gentle and not pull the string. They learn something new. They have fun.
+Tom was a bald man who liked to bake. He baked bread, cakes, pies and cookies. He baked for his wife, who loved his baking. He baked for his friends, who praised his baking. He baked for himself, who enjoyed his baking.
+
+One day, Tom wanted to bake a big cake for his wife's birthday. He went to the shop to buy flour, eggs, sugar and butter. He also bought some candles and a card. He was very happy and excited.
+
+But when he came back home, he saw a big mess in the kitchen. There was flour on the floor, eggs on the wall, sugar on the table and butter on the sofa. There was also a burnt smell in the air. Tom was very angry and sad.
+
+He looked around and saw his dog, Spot, sitting in the corner. Spot had a guilty look on his face. He had a piece of cake in his mouth. Tom realized that Spot had eaten his cake and made the mess.
+
+"Spot, you bad dog!" Tom shouted. "You ruined my cake and my wife's birthday! How could you do this?"
+
+Spot whimpered and dropped the cake. He wagged his tail and licked Tom's hand. He was sorry and wanted to say sorry.
+
+Tom sighed and calmed down. He knew that Spot was a good dog who loved him. He also knew that he still had time to bake another cake. He decided to forgive Spot and clean the kitchen.
+
+He hugged Spot and said, "It's okay, boy. I'm not mad at you anymore. But next time, please don't touch my baking. It's not good for you. And it's not nice for me."
+
+Spot barked and nodded. He was happy and grateful. He helped Tom clean the kitchen and watched him bake another cake. He also helped him decorate the cake and put the candles on it.
+
+When Tom's wife came home, she was surprised and delighted. She saw the beautiful cake and the card. She also saw Tom and Spot smiling at her. She hugged them both and said, "Thank you, my dear husband and my sweet dog. You made my birthday very special. I love you both very much."
+

+Sara and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Sara had a big red block that she wanted to put on top of her tower. But Ben wanted the red block too. He tried to grab it from Sara's hand.
+
+"Mine!" Sara said. "No, mine!" Ben said. They pulled and pulled the block until it broke in two. Sara and Ben both cried. They did not want a broken block.
+
+Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken block and the sad faces. She hugged Sara and Ben and said, "Don't worry, I have an idea. Let's turn this block into something else. Something delicious."
+
+She took the two pieces of the block and brought them to the kitchen. She put them in a bowl and added some milk and eggs and sugar and flour. She stirred and stirred until the block was gone. Then she poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven.
+
+Sara and Ben waited and waited. They smelled something good. Mom took the pan out of the oven and showed them. It was a cake. A red cake. She cut two slices and gave one to Sara and one to Ben.
+
+"Wow!" Sara said. "Yum!" Ben said. They tasted the cake and smiled. It was delicious. They forgot about the broken block. They thanked Mom and hugged her. They shared the cake and played with their blocks. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. But the slide was too high for them. They had to crawl up the stairs to reach the top.
+
+"Come on, Lily, it will be fun!" Tom said.
+
+"I'm scared, Tom. It's too high and too fast." Lily said.
+
+"Don't be scared, Lily. We are lucky. We can do it. Just hold my hand." Tom said.
+
+They crawled up the stairs and reached the top. They looked down and saw the slide. It was shiny and long and curved. They saw other kids go down and laugh.
+
+"Ready, Lily?" Tom said.
+
+"OK, Tom. Let's go." Lily said.
+
+They held hands and sat on the slide. They pushed themselves and started to slide down. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They smiled and screamed.
+
+But then something bad happened. The slide was broken. There was a big hole in the middle. Tom and Lily did not see it. They slid into the hole and fell down. They hit the ground hard and hurt themselves. They cried and cried.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom and Lily shouted.
+
+But no one heard them. They were stuck in the hole. They were not lucky. They were sad and scared. They wished they had not gone on the slide. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had stayed on the ground. They wished someone would find them. But no one did. The end.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They drive them on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. They make sounds like vroom, beep, honk.
+
+One day, their mom gives them a big envelope. She says it is a surprise for them. She tells them to open it together. Tom and Sam are very excited. They wonder what is inside the envelope. They think maybe it is a new car, or a book, or a puzzle.
+
+They run to their room and tear the envelope open. They see a picture of a real car. It is red and shiny. It has four doors and a big trunk. It looks very fast and cool. They also see a note from their dad. He writes that he loves them very much and that he has a big gift for them. He says he will come home soon and drive them in his new car.
+
+Tom and Sam are very happy. They hug the picture and the note. They thank their mom and tell her they love her too. They can't wait to see their dad and his new car. They imagine how fun it will be to drive with him. They feel calm and safe. They put the picture and the note on their wall. They play with their toy cars until it is time for bed.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to go to the park with their mom. They had to take the bus to get there, but Tom did not like the bus. He was scared of the loud noises, the big people, and the fast turns. He always held his mom's hand and looked out the window with a frown.
+
+Lily, on the other hand, loved the bus. She thought it was incredible how it could move so many people and go to different places. She always smiled and waved at the other passengers and the driver. She liked to see the trees, the cars, and the shops along the way.
+
+One day, as they were on the bus, Tom saw a big dog on the sidewalk. He was afraid of dogs, too. He screamed and hid behind his mom. Lily saw the dog, too, but she thought it was cute and fluffy. She said, "Look, Tom, a dog! It has a nice collar and a tail. It is not scary, it is friendly!"
+
+Tom peeked from behind his mom and saw the dog. It was wagging its tail and licking a boy's face. The boy was laughing and petting the dog. Tom realized that the dog was not mean, it was happy. He said, "Maybe you are right, Lily. Maybe the dog is not scary. Maybe it is nice."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "See, Tom, you don't have to be scared of everything. You can relax and enjoy the bus ride. There are many incredible things to see and do. You just have to be brave and curious."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "OK, Lily, I will try to relax and have fun. Thank you for helping me. You are a good sister."
+
+Mom hugged them both and said, "I am proud of you, Tom, for facing your fears. And I am proud of you, Lily, for being supportive and kind. You are both incredible children. Now, let's go to the park and play!"
+Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big pink bear. They always hugged the bear and took it everywhere. But one day, they had a fight over the bear. Lily wanted to keep it in her bed, and Sam wanted to take it to the garden.
+
+"Give me the bear!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Sam shouted back.
+
+They pulled the bear from both sides, trying to separate it. But the bear was old and weak, and it ripped in half. The stuffing came out, and the bear was dead. Lily and Sam cried and cried. They felt very sorry for the bear and for each other.
+
+Mama heard their cries and came to see what happened. She saw the broken bear and the sad twins. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. You should not fight over your toys. You should share them and take care of them. Fighting can hurt the things and the people you love. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Sam nodded and said, "Yes, Mama. We're sorry. We love the bear and we love each other. Can you fix the bear, please?"
+
+Mama smiled and said, "I'll try, my loves. But you have to promise me to be kind and gentle with your toys and with each other. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily and Sam hugged each other and said, "Yes, Mama. We promise. Thank you, Mama."
+
+Mama took the bear and sewed it back together. It was not as good as before, but it was still a big pink bear. She gave it back to Lily and Sam, who thanked her and kissed her. They decided to take turns sleeping with the bear and playing with it in the garden. They learned their lesson and never fought over the bear again. They were happy and the bear was happy too.
+Anna and Ben were twins who lived in a big city. They liked to play in the park with their ball and their dog, Spot. One day, they saw a new slide in the park. It was very high and shiny.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Ben said.
+
+"OK!" Anna said.
+
+They ran to the slide, but they did not see a sign that said "Wet Paint". They were careless and did not look where they were going. They touched the slide and got paint on their hands and clothes.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Anna said.
+
+"What?" Ben said.
+
+"Look at your shirt! It's blue!" Anna said.
+
+Ben looked at his shirt and saw the paint. He was angry.
+
+"Look at your dress! It's red!" he said.
+
+Anna looked at her dress and saw the paint. She was sad.
+
+They heard a voice behind them.
+
+"Hey, kids! What are you doing?" the voice said.
+
+They turned around and saw a man with a bucket and a brush. He was the painter who was painting the slide.
+
+"We wanted to go on the slide," Anna said.
+
+"Didn't you see the sign?" the painter said.
+
+They looked at the sign and saw the words "Wet Paint". They did not know what they meant.
+
+"No," Ben said.
+
+The painter sighed.
+
+"Well, you can't go on the slide now. It's not dry yet. And you have to wash your clothes. They are ruined," he said.
+
+He was not happy.
+
+Anna and Ben felt bad. They were sorry.
+
+"We're sorry, mister," Anna said.
+
+"Yeah, we're sorry," Ben said.
+
+The painter looked at them. He saw their faces. They were cute.
+
+He smiled.
+
+"It's OK, kids. Don't worry. It's just paint. It will come off. But next time, be careful and read the signs, OK?" he said.
+
+He was nice.
+
+"OK," Anna and Ben said.
+
+They thanked the painter and went home with Spot. They told their mom what happened. She was not mad. She was glad they were safe. She washed their clothes and gave them a hug.
+
+They learned a lesson. They were not careless anymore. They always looked where they were going. And they waited for the slide to dry. Then they had fun on the slide. It was very high and shiny.
+Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play different games. Tom likes to play with cars and trucks. Anna likes to play with dolls and dresses. One day, they find a big box in the basement. They want to use it for their games.
+
+"I want to make a garage for my cars and trucks," Tom says. He starts to cut the box with scissors.
+
+"No, I want to make a stage for my dolls and dresses," Anna says. She tries to stop Tom from cutting the box.
+
+They start to fight over the box. They pull and push and yell.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. She comes down to the basement. She sees the box and the scissors. She is not happy.
+
+"What are you doing with the box and the scissors?" Mom asks. "You could hurt yourselves or make a mess."
+
+"We want to play with the box," Tom and Anna say.
+
+"Well, you have to share the box and play nicely," Mom says. "Why don't you make something that you both like?"
+
+Tom and Anna think for a moment. They look at the box.
+
+"I have an idea," Anna says. "We can make an opera with our cars and dolls."
+
+"An opera?" Tom asks. "What is that?"
+
+"It is a show with singing and music and costumes," Anna says. "It is fun and pretty."
+
+"OK, that sounds good," Tom says. "But it has to be tough, too. With action and adventure and danger."
+
+"OK, OK," Anna says. "We can make a tough opera. But you have to sing, too."
+
+"Fine, I will sing," Tom says. "But you have to drive, too."
+
+"Fine, I will drive," Anna says.
+
+They agree to make a tough opera with their cars and dolls. They use the box as the stage. They cut out windows and doors and curtains. They find some old clothes and hats and scarves for their costumes. They use pots and pans and spoons for their instruments. They make up a story about a princess and a pirate who fall in love and have to escape from a dragon. They sing and drive and act and have fun.
+
+Mom watches them from the stairs. She smiles and claps. She is proud of them. They are sharing and playing nicely. They are making a tough opera.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a man with a big bag. He had many things in his bag. He had hats, scarves, toys, and books. He was selling them to people.
+
+"Look, Ben, he has a palm!" Lily said. She pointed to a green plant in a pot. The man had put it on the ground. "I like palms. They are pretty and soft."
+
+"Me too, Lily. Can we buy it?" Ben asked. He ran to the man. "How much is the palm, mister?"
+
+The man smiled. He looked at Ben and Lily. They were small and cute. He said, "The palm is five dollars. But for you, I can make it four."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not have any money. They felt helpless. They wanted the palm, but they could not buy it.
+
+"Sorry, mister, we have no money," Ben said. He looked sad.
+
+The man saw their faces. He felt sorry for them. He said, "You know what? You can have the palm for free. It is a gift. But you have to take good care of it. Water it every day and give it some sun."
+
+Ben and Lily could not believe it. They were so happy. They thanked the man and hugged him. They took the palm and ran back to their mom. They showed her their new plant. She was happy for them too.
+
+They went home with the palm. They put it in their room. They watered it and gave it some sun. They loved their palm. It was their best friend.
+Ben and Lily are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They make a road with sand and stones. They have fun racing their cars and making noises.
+
+"Look, Lily, my car is faster than yours!" Ben says.
+
+"No, it's not, Ben, my car is better than yours!" Lily says.
+
+They laugh and keep playing. Then they see a big bag of powder near the fence. It is white and soft. They wonder what it is.
+
+"Let's see what's in the bag, Ben!" Lily says.
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful!" Ben says.
+
+They go to the bag and open it. They touch the powder. It feels nice and cool. They take some and throw it in the air. It makes a cloud of white dust.
+
+"Wow, this is fun, Ben!" Lily says.
+
+"Yeah, this is fun, Lily!" Ben says.
+
+They play with the powder for a while. They make shapes and letters with it. They sprinkle it on their cars and on each other. They giggle and sneeze.
+
+Then they hear their mom calling them.
+
+"Ben, Lily, time to finish playing and come inside!" Mom says.
+
+"OK, Mom, we're coming!" Ben and Lily say.
+
+They put their cars in their basket and close the bag of powder. They run to the door. They are covered in white dust.
+
+Mom sees them and gasps.
+
+"What have you been doing, Ben and Lily?" Mom asks.
+
+"We were playing with the powder, Mom!" Ben and Lily say.
+
+"What powder?" Mom asks.
+
+"The powder in the bag, Mom!" Ben and Lily say.
+
+Mom looks at the bag and sees the label. It says "Flour".
+
+"Oh, no, Ben and Lily, that's not powder, that's flour! That's for baking, not for playing!" Mom says.
+
+"Oops, sorry, Mom!" Ben and Lily say.
+
+Mom sighs and smiles.
+
+"It's OK, Ben and Lily, but you need to wash up now. You're very dirty and sticky!" Mom says.
+
+"OK, Mom, we'll wash up!" Ben and Lily say.
+
+They go to the bathroom and wash their faces and hands. They see themselves in the mirror and laugh.
+
+"We look like snowmen, Ben!" Lily says.
+
+"Yeah, we do, Lily!" Ben says.
+
+They hug each other and say.
+
+"That was fun, Ben!"
+
+"That was fun, Lily!"
+Anna and Ben like to play pirates. They have a big box that is their ship. They have a map that shows where the treasure is. They have a hat and a sword and a hook.
+
+One day, they sail to a new island. They see a tall tree with a red flag. They think the treasure is there. They jump out of the box and run to the tree. They dig under the flag with their hands.
+
+They find a shiny box. They open it and see many coins and jewels. They are very happy. They put some in their pockets and some in their hat.
+
+But then they hear a loud roar. They look up and see a big lion. The lion is angry. It wants the treasure. It runs to them and shows its teeth.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They drop the box and the hat. They run back to their ship. They blink a lot because the sun is bright. They hope the lion will not follow them.
+
+They get in the box and sail away. They look at the map and find another island. They say, "Let's try again. Maybe there is more treasure and no lions." They smile and wave their sword and hook. They are brave pirates.
+Lily and Ben were playing with crayons. They liked to draw pictures of their family and their pets. Lily had a blue crayon and Ben had a red crayon. They shared the other colors.
+
+"Look, I drew a flower for Mommy," Lily said, showing her picture to Ben.
+
+"That's nice, Lily. I drew a car for Daddy," Ben said, showing his picture to Lily.
+
+They smiled at each other and kept drawing.
+
+But then, Ben saw a green crayon on the floor. He wanted to draw some grass for his car. He reached for the crayon, but he did not see that Lily was also reaching for it. Their hands bumped and the crayon flew out of their reach.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cried. "You hurt me, Ben!"
+
+"Sorry, Lily. I did not mean to hurt you," Ben said. "I just wanted the green crayon."
+
+Lily rubbed her hand and looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She also wanted the green crayon, but she did not want to fight with Ben. He was her brother and she cared for him.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. I forgive you," Lily said. "We can share the green crayon. You can draw some grass and I can draw some leaves."
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind," Ben said. "We can share all the crayons. You are my sister and I care for you."
+
+They hugged and picked up the green crayon. They finished their pictures and showed them to their parents. Their parents were very proud of them and gave them hugs and kisses. Lily and Ben were happy. They learned to share and care.
+Lily had a big bear that she loved very much. She hugged it every night and played with it every day. She named it Brownie, because it was brown and soft.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Brownie. She saw a girl with a smaller bear that was pink and shiny. The girl said, "Look at my bear! It is so pretty and new. I got it from the store yesterday. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Lily nodded and went to the girl. She touched the pink bear and said, "It is nice, but I like my bear more. He is bigger and warmer. He is my best friend."
+
+The girl was jealous of Lily's bear. She said, "Your bear is old and boring. I bet you don't even know how to sell it. I can sell my bear for a lot of money, because it is rare and special."
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She said, "I don't want to sell my bear. He is not for sale. He is mine and I love him. You are mean and rude. Go away!"
+
+Lily ran back to her mom and hugged Brownie. Her mom said, "Don't worry, Lily. Your bear is wonderful and so are you. You don't need to sell him or trade him for anything. He is your treasure and you are his."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are right. Brownie is my treasure and I am his. I don't care about the pink bear or the mean girl. I have you and Brownie and that is enough."
+Lily loved to play with her white doll. She named her doll Anna and gave her a pink dress and a blue hat. Lily and Anna did everything together. They had tea parties, read books, and sang songs. Lily was very happy with her doll.
+
+One night, Lily had a bad dream. She dreamed that a big black dog came and took Anna away. The dog ran very fast and Lily could not catch him. Lily screamed and screamed, but no one heard her. She felt very sad and scared.
+
+Lily woke up and saw that it was still dark. She looked for Anna, but she could not find her. She thought the dog had really taken her. She screamed again, louder and louder. This time, her mom and dad heard her. They came to her room and turned on the light.
+
+"Lily, what's wrong?" her mom asked. "Why are you screaming?"
+
+Lily cried and told them about her dream. She said she lost Anna and wanted her back. Her dad hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. It was just a dream. Anna is not gone. She is right here." He pointed to the corner of the bed, where Anna was hiding under a blanket. Lily saw her doll and smiled. She grabbed Anna and hugged her tight. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I thought you were gone. I love you so much."
+
+Her mom and dad smiled and kissed her. They said, "We love you too, Lily. And we're glad you found Anna. Now, go back to sleep. You'll have a better dream." They tucked her in and turned off the light. Lily snuggled with Anna and closed her eyes. She felt very happy and safe. She had a better dream.
+Sam and Mia liked to play with their toy vehicles. They had cars, trucks, buses, and trains. They made noises and raced them on the floor. One day, Sam saw a new toy vehicle in the store. It was a big red fire truck with a ladder and a siren. He wanted it very much.
+
+"Mom, can I have the fire truck?" he asked.
+
+"No, Sam, you have enough toy vehicles at home. And it is too expensive," Mom said.
+
+"But I want it, I want it!" Sam cried. He threw a tantrum in the store. He kicked and screamed and made everyone uncomfortable.
+
+Mia felt sorry for Sam. She liked the fire truck too, but she knew they had to share their toys. She had an idea. She whispered to Mom.
+
+"Mom, can I give Sam my toy train? Maybe he will stop crying and be happy," she said.
+
+Mom smiled and nodded. She thought Mia was very kind and generous. She bought the fire truck and gave it to Sam. Sam stopped crying and hugged the fire truck. He was very happy.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, Mom!" he said.
+
+He looked at Mia and saw her toy train in his hand. He felt ashamed. He had been very selfish and rude. He realized he had hurt Mia's feelings.
+
+"Mia, I'm sorry. I was very mean to you. Do you want your toy train back?" he asked.
+
+Mia smiled and shook her head. She was glad that Sam was happy.
+
+"No, Sam, you can keep it. I have enough toy vehicles too. And I like the fire truck. Can we play with it together?" she asked.
+
+Sam nodded and smiled. He was grateful for Mia's forgiveness and friendship. He gave her a hug and handed her the fire truck.
+
+"Yes, Mia, we can play with it together. You are the best sister ever," he said.
+
+They played with the fire truck and the toy train on the floor. They made noises and raced them. They had fun and learned to share. Mom watched them and was proud of them. She thought they had become very good children.
+Timmy was a baby who slept in a crib. He did not like his crib. He wanted to sleep in a big bed like his big sister. One night, he had a plan. He would remove the bars of his crib and climb out. He was very clever.
+
+He waited until his mommy and daddy were asleep. Then he used his teeth and his hands to pull and twist the bars. He made a lot of noise, but he did not care. He was almost free. He saw a gap in the crib. He tried to squeeze through it.
+
+But he was too big. He got stuck. He could not move. He felt pain in his tummy and his legs. He started to cry. He wanted his mommy and daddy to help him. He felt helpless.
+
+His mommy and daddy heard his cry. They ran to his room. They saw him in the crib. They were shocked and scared. They tried to free him, but they could not. They called for help. They waited for a long time.
+
+But it was too late. Timmy was hurt too much. He stopped crying. He stopped breathing. He was gone. His mommy and daddy were very sad. They wished they had never given him a crib. They wished they had watched him more. They wished they could hug him and kiss him again. But they could not.
+Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with toys. One day, they found a gun in the park. It was big and shiny. They did not know what it was.
+
+"Look, what is this?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a toy. Can I see?" Sam said.
+
+Tom gave the gun to Sam. Sam held it and pointed it at Tom. He pressed the button. Bang! The gun made a loud noise. Tom fell down and did not move. Sam was scared. He dropped the gun and ran away.
+
+A lady saw what happened. She was busy walking her dog. She heard the noise and saw Tom on the ground. She called for help. She was sad and angry.
+
+The police came and took the gun. They asked Sam why he did it. Sam said he did not know. He said he was sorry. He said he thought it was a toy. The police said it was not a toy. It was a real gun. It belonged to a bad man who left it in the park. The police said Sam was very wrong to play with it. They said he hurt his friend and himself.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not play with things you do not know. They can be dangerous and hurt you and others. Always ask an adult before you touch something new.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for treasures. One day, they found a map in a big box. The map showed them where to find a big cake.
+
+"Wow, a cake!" Lily said. "Let's go and get it!"
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful," Ben said. "The map says there are traps on the way."
+
+They followed the map and avoided the traps. They crossed a bridge, climbed a hill, and jumped over a hole. They were very brave and smart.
+
+They reached the place where the cake was. It was a big, round cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. It looked very tasty.
+
+"Yay, we did it!" Lily said. "Let's eat the cake!"
+
+But before they could take a bite, a voice stopped them.
+
+"Hey, that's my cake!" the voice said. It was a mean boy who lived near the park. He had made the map and the traps to trick Lily and Ben.
+
+"Give me back my cake!" he said. "It's mine!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They had worked hard to find the cake, and they were hungry. They didn't want to give it to the mean boy.
+
+But then they realized something. They realized that the cake was not a real treasure. The real treasure was their friendship. They had helped each other and had fun together. They didn't need the cake to be happy.
+
+They looked at each other and smiled. They decided to share the cake with the mean boy. Maybe he was lonely and needed a friend too.
+
+"Here, you can have some cake," Lily said. "But only if you are nice to us."
+
+"Really?" the mean boy said. He was surprised and curious. He had never shared anything with anyone.
+
+"Yes, really," Ben said. "We are friends, and friends share."
+
+The mean boy took a slice of cake and tasted it. It was very tasty. He smiled and said, "Thank you. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They ate the cake and played with the mean boy. They had a lot of fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Friendship is more valuable than cake, and sharing is caring.
+Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. Sam has a lot of cars and trucks. Ben has a lot of animals and dinosaurs. They share some toys, but they also have their own favorites.
+
+One day, Sam decides to display his cars and trucks on his bed. He arranges them by color and size. He is very proud of his collection. He calls Ben to see his display.
+
+"Ben, come here! Look at my cars and trucks! They are so cool and fast!" Sam says.
+
+Ben comes to Sam's bed and looks at his display. He is not very impressed. He thinks his animals and dinosaurs are more fun and interesting. He says to Sam:
+
+"Your cars and trucks are boring. They are all the same. They are ordinary. My animals and dinosaurs are better. They are different. They are special."
+
+Sam gets angry. He does not like Ben's words. He thinks his cars and trucks are the best. He says to Ben:
+
+"Your animals and dinosaurs are silly. They are not real. They are fake. My cars and trucks are real. They are awesome."
+
+They start to argue. They raise their voices. They do not listen to each other. They are not nice to each other.
+
+Mom hears them from the kitchen. She is making steak for dinner. She smells the steak. It is almost ready. She turns off the stove. She goes to their room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says to them:
+
+"Boys, stop it! Why are you fighting? You should be nice to each other. You are brothers. You should share and respect each other's toys. They are all good toys. They are not ordinary. They are special. They are yours."
+
+She hugs them and kisses them. She tells them to calm down and apologize to each other. She tells them to put away their toys and come to the table. She tells them she has made steak for dinner. She tells them they will like it. It is juicy and tasty.
+
+Sam and Ben stop fighting. They say sorry to each other. They hug and kiss Mom. They put away their toys and come to the table. They see the steak. They smell the steak. They are hungry. They say thank you to Mom. They try the steak. They like it. It is juicy and tasty. They are happy. They are brothers. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with a bowl and some balls. The bowl is big and red. The balls are small and yellow.
+
+Tom says, "I go first. I throw the ball in the bowl. If I do it, I win." He throws the ball, but he misses. The ball rolls away. Lily laughs.
+
+Lily says, "My turn. I am intelligent. I can throw the ball in the bowl." She throws the ball, but she misses too. The ball bounces off the wall. Tom laughs.
+
+They try again and again, but they cannot throw the ball in the bowl. They get tired and sad. They do not want to play anymore.
+
+Then they see a cat. The cat is black and white. The cat is curious. The cat jumps on the table. The cat sees the bowl and the balls. The cat plays with the balls. The cat pushes the balls with its paw. The cat throws the balls in the bowl. The cat wins.
+
+Tom and Lily clap their hands. They say, "Wow! The cat is very intelligent. The cat can throw the ball in the bowl. The cat is the winner."
+
+The cat purrs. The cat is happy. Tom and Lily are happy too. They hug the cat. They say, "We love you, cat. You are our friend. You are the best."
+Anna was a naughty daughter. She did not listen to her mommy and daddy. She liked to open things that were not hers. She opened boxes, drawers, jars, and bags. She made a big mess and broke many things.
+
+One day, Anna saw a big red box in her mommy's closet. She wanted to open it and see what was inside. She thought it was a present for her. She did not know that it was a box of matches that her mommy used for candles.
+
+She climbed on a chair and reached for the box. She opened it and saw many little sticks with red tips. She thought they were toys. She took one and rubbed it on the box. It made a bright spark and a loud noise. She liked it and laughed.
+
+She took another one and did the same. Then another, and another. Soon, the box was on fire. The fire spread to the clothes and the curtains. Anna was scared and dropped the box. She ran out of the closet and screamed.
+
+Mommy and daddy heard her scream and ran to the closet. They saw the fire and smelled the smoke. They were very angry and very sad. They grabbed Anna and ran out of the house. They called the firemen to come and help.
+
+But it was too late. The fire was too big and too fast. It burned the whole house and everything in it. Anna lost her toys, her clothes, her books, and her bed. She had no home anymore. She cried and cried. She wished she had not been a naughty daughter. She wished she had not opened the box.
+One day, Anna and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw many birds on the grass and in the trees. Anna liked the birds. She wanted to touch them and feel their feathers. Ben did not like the birds. He thought they were noisy and boring.
+
+"Look, mom, a yellow bird!" Anna said, pointing to a small canary. "Can I hold it?"
+
+Mom shook her head. "No, Anna, you can't. The bird is not a toy. It is alive and it might be scared of you. You can look at it, but don't touch it."
+
+Anna felt sad. She wanted to feel the soft feather of the yellow bird. She wondered how it would feel in her hand. She thought it would feel nice and warm.
+
+Ben rolled his eyes. He did not care about the yellow bird. He thought it was ordinary and dull. He wanted to play with something else. He saw a big red ball on the grass. He ran to get it.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" a boy shouted, following Ben. "Give it back!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He grabbed the ball and threw it in the air. He felt happy and excited. He thought the ball was fun and cool.
+
+The boy felt angry and sad. He wanted his ball back. He ran after Ben and tried to take it from him.
+
+"Stop it!" mom said, seeing the boys fight. "Ben, give the ball back to the boy. It is not yours. You can't take things that belong to others."
+
+Ben felt ashamed and sorry. He knew he did something bad. He gave the ball back to the boy and said sorry.
+
+The boy felt relieved and glad. He thanked Ben and said it was okay.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Ben. She said she was proud of him for saying sorry. She said he could play with the boy if he wanted.
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He felt better and friendly. He asked the boy his name and if he wanted to play with him.
+
+The boy said his name was Sam and he wanted to play with Ben.
+
+Anna saw Ben and Sam playing with the ball. She felt happy for Ben. She thought he made a new friend. She still wanted to feel the feather of the yellow bird, but she did not mind. She knew she could not touch it. She decided to watch it and sing to it. She thought it would like that. She felt calm and peaceful. She liked the park and the birds. She thought it was a good day.
+Tim and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the park. They had a ball and a kite. They had fun.
+
+One day, they saw a big house. It had a high wall and a big gate. They saw a sign. It said "Keep out". They were curious. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They waited until the guard was not looking. The guard was old and sleepy. They ran to the gate. They pushed it. It opened. They went inside.
+
+They saw a big garden. It had flowers and trees and a pond. They saw a swing and a slide. They were happy. They played on the swing and the slide. They forgot about the guard.
+
+The guard woke up. He heard noises. He saw the gate was open. He was angry. He went inside. He saw Tim and Sue. He shouted at them. He chased them. He caught them. He locked them in a shed. It was dark and gloomy. They were scared. They hoped someone would find them. But no one did. They were sad. They cried. The end.
+Anna and Ben are at the park with their mom. They see many pigeons on the grass. They want to feed them some bread.
+
+"Mom, can we give bread to the pigeons?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Don't get too close to them. They might fly away or peck you." Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben break the bread into small pieces and throw them on the ground. The pigeons come closer and eat the bread. Anna and Ben are happy. They like to watch the pigeons.
+
+"Look, that one is big and gray. He has a red ring on his leg." Ben says. He points to a pigeon that is eating near them.
+
+"Wow, he is pretty. Maybe he is the leader of the pigeons." Anna says.
+
+Suddenly, a loud noise scares the pigeons. They flap their wings and fly away. Anna and Ben are sad. They want the pigeons to come back.
+
+"What was that noise?" Anna asks.
+
+"It was a car horn. Someone was honking." Mom says.
+
+"Maybe the car wanted to say hello to the pigeons." Ben says.
+
+"Maybe. But the pigeons are very alert. They don't like loud noises. They think they are dangerous." Mom says.
+
+"Will they come back?" Anna asks.
+
+"Maybe. If we are quiet and patient. Do you want to wait for them?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, please. We like the pigeons." Anna and Ben say.
+
+They sit on a bench and wait for the pigeons. They hope the pigeons will come back and eat more bread. They are quiet and patient. They love the park and the pigeons.
+Anna liked flowers very much. She liked to look at them, smell them, and touch them. She wanted to have a flower bracelet like her big sister. Her big sister had a bracelet with many pretty flowers that bloom in spring. Anna asked her big sister if she could have her bracelet, but her big sister said no. She said it was her special bracelet and Anna was too little to wear it.
+
+Anna was sad and angry. She did not listen to her big sister. She waited until her big sister was not looking and took her bracelet. She ran outside and put it on her wrist. She felt happy and proud. She wanted to show her bracelet to her friends. She did not see the big dog that was barking at her. She did not hear her big sister calling her name. She did not obey her big sister.
+
+The big dog was not friendly. He did not like Anna. He saw her bracelet and wanted to have it. He ran after Anna and bit her wrist. Anna screamed and dropped her bracelet. The dog took the bracelet and ran away. Anna was hurt and scared. She cried and cried. Her big sister came and hugged her. She was sorry and angry. She said Anna was naughty and foolish. She said she would not give her another bracelet. She said she would tell their mom what Anna did.
+
+Anna was sorry and sad. She wished she had listened to her big sister. She wished she had not taken her bracelet. She wished she had been obedient. She learned a hard lesson. She lost her bracelet and her big sister's trust. She had a bad ending.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They share a room and a big mattress. Sara likes to sleep on the left side and Ben likes to sleep on the right side. But sometimes Ben takes up too much space and Sara has to move.
+
+One night, Sara wakes up and feels Ben's feet on her face. She pushes them away and says, "Ben, move over! You are on my side!"
+
+Ben does not wake up. He just mumbles and rolls over. But he still takes up too much space. Sara has to squeeze to the edge of the mattress. She is not happy. She sighs and tries to sleep.
+
+The next morning, Sara tells Mom about Ben. She says, "Mom, Ben is not fair. He always takes up too much space on the mattress. Can I have my own mattress?"
+
+Mom smiles and hugs Sara. She says, "I know, sweetie. Ben is not very good at sharing. But he is your brother and he loves you. He is dependable. He will always be there for you. Maybe you can talk to him and find a way to share the mattress better."
+
+Sara thinks about it. She loves Ben too. He is fun and kind. He plays with her and helps her. He is dependable. Maybe she can give him a little more space and he can give her a little more space. She says, "Okay, Mom. I will try. Thank you."
+
+Mom kisses Sara and says, "You're welcome, honey. You are a good sister. I'm proud of you."
+Lila liked to talk to her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a car and a celery. The celery was her favorite. She found it in the fridge one day and thought it was attractive. It was green and crunchy and had a funny name.
+
+One day, Lila decided to have a tea party with her toys. She put a blanket on the floor and set up some cups and plates. She gave each toy a piece of cake, except for the celery. She gave the celery a glass of water.
+
+"Hello, my friends," Lila said. "Thank you for coming to my tea party. How are you today?"
+
+The doll said, "I'm fine, thank you. You are very kind to share your cake with us."
+
+The bear said, "I'm good, too. You are very pretty in your dress."
+
+The car said, "I'm fast, vroom vroom. You are very smart to drive me."
+
+The celery said nothing. It just sat in its glass of water and looked attractive.
+
+Lila noticed that the celery was quiet. She asked, "Celery, why don't you talk to me? Don't you like me?"
+
+The celery still said nothing. It just smiled with its leaves.
+
+Lila felt sad. She wanted the celery to talk to her. She said, "Celery, please talk to me. I like you very much. You are my favorite toy. You are green and crunchy and have a funny name. Please say something."
+
+The celery still said nothing. It just winked with its eye.
+
+Lila was confused. She wondered what the celery was thinking. She said, "Celery, what are you trying to say? Do you have a secret? Do you have a wish? Do you have a joke?"
+
+The celery still said nothing. It just nodded with its head.
+
+Lila was curious. She leaned closer to the celery and whispered, "Celery, tell me your secret. Tell me your wish. Tell me your joke. I won't tell anyone. I promise."
+
+The celery still said nothing. It just opened its mouth and said, "Boo!"
+
+Lila was surprised. She jumped back and screamed. Then she laughed. She realized that the celery was playing a trick on her. She said, "Celery, you are so silly. You scared me. But you also made me laugh. You are a funny toy. I like you even more now."
+
+The celery said, "I like you, too, Lila. You are a good friend. You are fun and sweet and have a nice name. I'm sorry I didn't talk to you before. I was shy. But now I'm happy to talk to you."
+
+Lila hugged the celery. She said, "I'm happy, too, Celery. You are a great friend. You are attractive and crunchy and have a funny name. Let's talk more and have fun."
+
+The celery hugged Lila back. It said, "Yes, let's do that. And let's share some cake, too. I'm hungry."
+
+Lila and the celery shared some cake and water. They talked and laughed and had a wonderful tea party. The doll, the bear and the car joined them, too. They all became good friends and had a lot of fun.

+
+One day, they decide to play a game. They want to see how many toys they can fit in the box. They start to put the toys in the box, one by one. They push and squeeze and stack the toys. They try to make room for more toys.
+
+"Look, Anna, I can fit this car in the corner!" Ben says.

+They keep playing until the box is full. They are very proud of their work. They look at the box and smile.
+
+"Wow, we fit so many toys in the box!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, we did! We are very smart!" Anna says.
+
+They are happy, but they are also tired. They have been playing for a long time. They feel their eyes getting heavy. They yawn and stretch.
+
+"Ben, I think we need a nap," Anna says.
+
+"Me too, Anna. I am sleepy," Ben says.
+
+They look for a place to nap. They see their beds, but they are too far away. They see the box, but it is too full. They see the rug, but it is too small. They are anxious. They want to nap, but they don't know where.
+
+Then, they have an idea. They look at each other and nod. They go to the box and take out some toys. They make a pile of toys on the floor. They make a soft and cozy bed. They lie down on the toys and cuddle. They fit perfectly on the toys.
+
+"Anna, this is a good place to nap," Ben says.

+
+One day, Lily and Ben find a big roll of paper in the closet. They are happy. They unroll the paper on the floor. They have more space to make marks.
+
+"Look, I can make a mark of a cat!" Lily says. She draws a circle for the head, two triangles for the ears, and a long line for the tail.
+
+"That's a good mark, Lily!" Ben says. He draws a mark of a dog. He draws a circle for the head, two floppy ears, and four legs.
+
+They make more marks of animals, flowers, and stars. They fill the paper with colors.
+
+But then, Lily makes a mistake. She drops her crayon on her dress. It makes a big red mark on her waist. She is sad. She does not like the mark on her dress.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, I'm sorry!" Ben says. He sees the mark on her dress. He tries to help her. He takes a wet cloth and rubs the mark. But it does not go away. It only makes the mark bigger and wetter.
+
+Lily starts to cry. She thinks her dress is ruined. She thinks her mom will be angry.
+
+"Don't cry, Lily, it's okay!" Ben says. He has an idea. He takes his crayon and makes a mark on his shirt. He makes a big blue mark on his waist. He smiles at Lily.
+
+"See, Lily, now we match!" Ben says. He shows her his mark. He hopes she will feel better.
+
+Lily looks at Ben. She sees his mark. She stops crying. She smiles at Ben.
+

+Sara liked to fold paper. She could make many shapes with paper. She made hats, boats, planes and animals. She liked to show her paper shapes to her friends and family.
+
+One day, Sara saw a rainbow in the sky. It was very pretty. It had many colors. Sara wanted to make a paper rainbow. She took some paper and cut it into strips. She colored each strip with a different color. Then she tried to fold them together.
+
+But it was hard to fold the paper strips. They did not stick together. They fell apart. Sara was sad. She had a terrible paper rainbow. It did not look like the real rainbow. She threw it away.
+
+Her mom saw her crying. She asked her what was wrong. Sara told her about the paper rainbow. Her mom hugged her and said, "Sara, you are very good at folding paper. But some things are not meant to be folded. Some things are meant to be admired. The rainbow is one of them. It is a gift from God. He made it to show us His love and promise. You can enjoy the rainbow, but you cannot make it. It is special and unique."
+
+Sara understood. She felt better. She thanked her mom and said, "You are right, mom. The rainbow is beautiful. I will not try to fold it again. I will just look at it and be happy." She smiled and hugged her mom. They went outside and watched the rainbow together. Sara learned to appreciate the things that God made. She also learned to use her paper skills for other things.

+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, blocks and books. But Lily wanted to play with Ben's file, too. A file was a thing that made paper smaller and had many teeth. Lily liked to see the paper come out of the file in thin strips.
+
+"Can I have your file, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, it's mine. You have your own toys," Ben said.
+
+"Please, Ben. Just for a little bit," Lily begged.
+
+"No, go away. You are annoying," Ben said. He pushed Lily away with his hand.
+
+Lily felt angry and sad. She wanted to play with the file, and Ben was not nice to her. She saw a stick on the floor. She picked it up and ran to Ben. She wanted to make him sorry. She raised the stick and tried to strike Ben with it.
+
+But Ben saw Lily coming. He was bigger and faster than Lily. He grabbed the stick from her hand and threw it away. Then he pushed Lily again, harder. Lily fell on the floor and hurt her knee. She started to cry. She felt helpless. She could not get the file, and she could not hurt Ben.
+
+Mom heard Lily crying. She came to the living room and saw what happened. She was angry with Ben and Lily. She scolded them for fighting and hurting each other. She took the file and the stick away. She said they could not play with them anymore. She gave Lily a hug and a band-aid for her knee. She told Ben to say sorry to Lily and to share his toys. Ben felt sorry and said sorry to Lily. Lily said sorry to Ben, too. They hugged and made up. Mom smiled and said they should play nicely and be kind to each other. Lily and Ben agreed. They played with their other toys and had fun again.
+Tom and Lily like to play in the park. They see a big hill that looks like a mountain. They want to climb the mountain and see what is on top.
+
+They run to the mountain and start to go up. They use their hands and feet to help them. They see rocks and dirt and grass. They see bugs and birds and flowers. They are having fun.
+
+But when they get to the top, they see something funny. There is a big hole in the middle of the mountain. It is like the mountain is part. They look inside the hole and see water. It is a pond. They see fish and frogs and ducks. They are surprised.
+
+They want to go down and see the pond. But they are careful. They do not want to fall in the water. They go down slowly and hold each other's hand. They reach the bottom and sit by the pond. They watch the animals and listen to the sounds. They are happy.
+
+They say thank you to the mountain for the fun adventure. They say they will come back another day. They run back to their mom and dad and tell them what they saw. Mom and dad smile and hug them. They say they are proud of them. They say they love them.

+
+"Can we pet him?" Ben asks. He likes dogs.
+
+They run to the man and the dog. The man smiles and says hello.

+Lily and Ben wanted to go to the park. They liked to play on the swings and slide. But Mom said they had to delay. She had to finish some work on her laptop.
+
+"Can we go soon, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Please be patient, sweetie. I just need a few more minutes," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben were bored. They looked out the window and saw a creek. It was flowing with water and had rocks and sticks. They wanted to explore it.
+
+"Can we go to the creek, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sorry, honey. The creek is too far and too difficult. You might get hurt or wet. You have to stay inside," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They wished they could go to the park or the creek. They decided to play with their toys. They pretended they were in a jungle and had to cross a river. They used pillows and blankets to make a bridge. They had fun.
+
+"Look, Mom, we made a bridge!" Lily said.
+
+"That's very creative, kids. I'm proud of you," Mom said. "And guess what? I'm done with my work. We can go to the park now!"
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They put away their toys and got ready. They thanked Mom and gave her a hug. They ran to the car and buckled up. They were excited to go to the park. Maybe they would see a real creek there.
+Sara and Lily are sisters. They like to play with dolls and dress them up. One day, Sara finds a new dress for her doll. It is pink and shiny and has flowers on it. Sara is very happy and puts it on her doll.
+
+Lily sees the dress and wants it too. She asks Sara, "Can I have the dress for my doll? It is so pretty!"
+
+Sara says, "No, this is my dress. I found it first. You have your own dress for your doll."
+
+Lily is upset. She thinks Sara is not nice. She says, "That is not fair! You have more dresses than me. You should share with me. You are a bad sister!"
+
+Sara is upset too. She thinks Lily is not polite. She says, "That is not true! You have enough dresses for your doll. You should not take mine. You are a greedy sister!"
+
+They start to argue and shout at each other. They do not play with their dolls anymore. They do not have fun.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the dress and the dolls and the sisters. She says, "Why are you fighting? You should not be angry with each other. You should be kind and loving. You are sisters."
+
+Sara and Lily look at Mom. They feel sorry. They reply, "We are sorry, Mom. We were not nice. We do not want to fight. We want to be sisters."
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "That is good. I am glad you are sorry. You can play with your dolls again. But you have to share and take turns. You have to respect each other. You have to be sisters."
+
+Sara and Lily nod and hug Mom. They say, "We will, Mom. We will share and take turns. We will respect each other. We will be sisters."
+
+They go back to their dolls and play together. They give each other the dress and the other dresses. They say nice things to each other. They have fun. They are sisters.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many rocks and flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go to the hill!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the hill and started to climb. They used their hands and feet to find places to hold on. They saw some wild animals on the way. They saw a rabbit, a bird, and a squirrel. They said hello to them.
+
+"Look, there is a big rock on the top of the hill!" Tom said.
+
+"Wow, it is very big and round!" Lily said.
+
+They reached the top of the hill and touched the rock. It was smooth and cold. They sat on the rock and looked around. They saw the park, the trees, the pond, and the sky. They felt happy and proud.
+
+"Can we remove the rock?" Tom asked.
+
+"Why do you want to remove it?" Lily asked.
+
+"Because it is fun!" Tom said.
+
+He pushed the rock with his hands. It did not move. He pushed harder. It still did not move.
+
+"It is too heavy!" Tom said.
+
+"Maybe we can roll it!" Lily said.
+
+They both pushed the rock together. It started to move a little bit. They pushed more. It moved more. They pushed even more. It moved even more. It rolled off the hill and down the other side.
+
+"Yay, we did it!" Tom and Lily shouted.
+
+They heard a loud splash. They looked down the hill. They saw the rock in the pond. They saw some fish and frogs jumping out of the water. They saw some ducks and geese flying away. They saw some people and dogs running away.
+
+"Uh-oh, we made a big mess!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+They ran down the hill and away from the pond. They hoped no one would see them. They learned a lesson. They should not remove things that are not theirs. They should be careful with wild things. They should have fun, but not too much.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see a pig in the mud. The pig is big and pink. The pig makes a loud noise. "Oink, oink!" says the pig.
+
+Tom and Lily want to touch the pig. They run to the pig. But the pig does not want to be touched. The pig is fast. The pig runs away from Tom and Lily. The pig jumps over the fence. The pig goes to the field.
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They cannot catch the pig. They sit on the grass. They look at the pig. The pig is happy. The pig eats the grass. The pig rolls in the mud.
+
+"Can we play with the pig?" asks Tom.
+
+"Maybe we can," says Lily. "We can be nice to the pig. We can give the pig some food. We can say hello to the pig."
+
+Tom and Lily get up. They find some apples. They walk to the fence. They call the pig. "Pig, pig, come here!" they say. "We have some apples for you. We want to be your friends."
+
+The pig hears Tom and Lily. The pig is curious. The pig likes apples. The pig walks to the fence. The pig sniffs the apples. The pig takes a bite. The pig smiles. "Oink, oink!" says the pig.

+Lily and Ben were having breakfast. They liked to eat oats with milk and honey. Lily poured some milk on her oats and stirred them. Ben poured too much milk on his oats and made a mess.
+
+"Look, Ben, you soaked your oats!" Lily said. "Now they are all wet and soggy. You should be more careful."
+
+Ben felt bad. He did not mean to soak his oats. He liked them soft and sweet. He looked at his bowl and saw the milk spilling over the edge.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I was hungry and I wanted more milk. Can you help me clean up?"
+
+Lily was a polite sister. She did not want to make Ben feel worse. She got a napkin and wiped the table. She also gave Ben a spoon and a smile.
+
+"It's okay, Ben," she said. "We all make mistakes sometimes. Here, have some of my oats. They are still warm and yummy."
+
+Ben smiled back. He was glad that Lily was nice to him. He took some of her oats and tasted them. They were delicious. He thanked Lily and shared his honey with her.
+
+They finished their breakfast and hugged each other. They were happy and ready to start the day.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They had many toys, but they liked to build with bricks the most. They made houses, towers, and bridges with the bricks.
+
+One day, a big dog came into the yard. It was black and hairy, and it barked very loud. Ben and Lily were fearful of the dog. They ran to their house and closed the door.
+
+The dog saw the bricks and thought they were bones. It wanted to eat them. It ran to the bricks and started to bite them. The bricks broke and fell down.
+
+Ben and Lily heard the noise and looked out the window. They saw the dog destroying their bricks. They were angry and sad.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted. "Those are our bricks, not your bones!"
+
+The dog did not listen. It kept biting the bricks.
+
+Lily had an idea. She took a ball and opened the door. She threw the ball far away.
+
+"Look, dog, a ball!" she said. "Go fetch the ball!"
+
+The dog heard Lily and saw the ball. It liked balls more than bricks. It ran after the ball and left the bricks alone.
+
+Ben and Lily were happy. They went out and picked up their bricks. They started to build again.
+
+"Good job, Lily!" Ben said. "You scared the dog away!"
+
+Lily smiled. "Thank you, Ben!" she said. "Let's make a big castle with our bricks!"
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw many birds, flowers and bugs. They were very happy and lively.
+
+But then, the sky became dark and grey. Lily and Ben heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a flash of light. It was lightning. They felt drops of water on their faces. It was rain.
+
+"Oh no, it's raining!" Lily said. "We have to find some shade!"
+
+"Look, there's a big tree over there!" Ben said. "Let's go under it!"
+
+They ran to the tree and sat under its branches. They were safe and dry. They watched the rain fall on the ground and make puddles. They heard the rain make sounds on the leaves and the roof.
+
+"It's like a song," Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is," Ben said. "Do you like the rain?"
+
+"I like the rain, but I like the sun more," Lily said. "The sun is warm and bright."
+
+"Me too," Ben said. "But the rain is fun too. It makes everything clean and fresh."
+
+They smiled at each other and hugged. They waited for the rain to stop and the sun to come out again. They were still happy and lively.
+One day, a little girl named Anna went to the park with her mom. She saw many things that she liked: swings, slides, flowers, and birds. She wanted to play with everything.
+
+"Mom, can I go and play?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, but stay where I can see you, okay?" her mom said.
+
+Anna nodded and ran to the swings. She had fun swinging high and low. Then she saw a big black dog near the slide. He had a shiny collar and a wagging tail. He looked friendly.
+
+Anna got off the swing and walked to the dog. She wanted to pet him and say hello. She did not see that her mom was calling her name.
+
+"Hi, doggy. What is your name?" she asked.
+
+The dog barked and licked her face. He was happy to meet her. He liked Anna.
+
+"His name is Max. He is my dog," a boy said. He came from behind the slide. He was holding a leash.
+
+"Hi, I am Anna. I like your dog. He is very friendly," Anna said.
+
+"Hi, I am Leo. Do you want to play with us?" the boy asked.
+
+"Yes, please. Can we go on the slide?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure. Come on, Max. Let's go on the slide," the boy said.
+
+Anna, Leo, and Max went on the slide. They had fun sliding down and running up. They laughed and barked and smiled. They became friends.
+
+Anna's mom saw them and smiled too. She was glad that Anna found a friendly dog and a new friend. She walked to them and said hello to Leo and Max.
+
+"Anna, it is time to go home. Did you have fun?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, mom. I had fun. I met Leo and Max. They are my friends," Anna said.
+
+"That is wonderful. Can you say goodbye to them?" her mom asked.
+
+Anna hugged Leo and Max and said goodbye. She thanked them for playing with her. She said she hoped to see them again.
+
+Leo and Max said goodbye too. They said they liked Anna and they would play with her again.
+
+Anna and her mom left the park. Anna was happy. She had a good day. She wandered and found a friendly black dog and a new friend.
+Lily and Tom are having breakfast with Mom and Dad. They like to eat toast with jam. Mom gives them a jar of jam and a knife.
+
+"Can I have some jam, please?" Lily asks Mom.
+
+"Sure, sweetie. Here you go." Mom says and passes the jar to Lily.
+
+Lily opens the jar and smells the jam. It smells delicious. She takes some jam with the knife and spreads it on her toast. She takes a bite and smiles.
+
+"Mmm, this jam is delicious!" she says.
+
+"Can I have some too?" Tom asks Lily.
+
+"Of course, Tom. Here you go." Lily says and passes the jar to Tom.
+
+Tom opens the jar and looks at the jam. It is red and shiny. He takes some jam with the knife and puts it on his toast. He takes a bite and makes a face.
+
+"Yuck, this jam is not delicious!" he says.
+
+"Why not, Tom? What's wrong with the jam?" Mom asks Tom.
+
+"It is too sweet. I don't like sweet jam. I like sour jam." Tom says.
+
+"Sour jam? What is sour jam?" Lily asks Tom.
+
+"Sour jam is jam that tastes like lemon. It is yummy." Tom says.
+
+"I don't think I would like sour jam. I like sweet jam. It is yummy." Lily says.
+
+They both look at each other and giggle. They have different tastes, but they are still friends. They finish their breakfast and thank Mom and Dad for the jam. They go to play with their toys. They are happy.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, dogs, and people.
+
+One day, they see a big ball in the sky. It is round and blue and white. It looks like a toy.
+
+"Look, Sue, a ball!" Tom says.
+
+"Wow, Tom, a ball!" Sue says. "Can we play with it?"
+
+They run to the ball. But they cannot reach it. It is too high and too far.
+
+They are sad. They want to play with the ball.
+
+A man sees them. He is kind. He comes to them.
+
+"Hello, kids. What are you doing?" he asks.
+
+"We want to play with the ball in the sky," Tom says.
+
+The man smiles. He knows something.
+
+"That is not a ball, kids. That is the earth," he says.
+
+"The earth?" Tom and Sue say.
+
+"Yes, the earth. It is our home. We live on the earth. It is very big and very old. It is not a toy," he says.
+
+Tom and Sue are surprised. They do not know this.
+
+"How do you know?" Tom asks.
+
+"I know because I am a teacher. I teach about the earth and other things. Do you want to learn?" he asks.
+
+Tom and Sue nod. They want to learn.
+
+The man takes them to a bench. He shows them a book. The book has pictures and words. He tells them about the earth and other things. He tells them about the sun, the moon, the stars, the water, the land, the animals, and the people.
+
+Tom and Sue listen. They learn. They are happy.
+
+They thank the man. They say goodbye.
+
+They go back to play. They look at the sky. They see the earth. It is not a ball. It is not a toy. It is their home.
+
+They think the earth is amazing. They think the earth is not ordinary. They think the earth is special.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to pretend they were animals. Ben was a lion and Lily was a bird. They roared and chirped and ran around the sofa.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a fireplace!" Ben said. He pointed to the big stone wall with a hole in it. There was no fire, but there were some logs and sticks. "Let's go and explore it!"
+
+"Okay, Ben, but be careful!" Lily said. She followed him to the fireplace. They crawled inside and saw a dark and dusty space. There were some spiders and cobwebs, but they were not scared.
+
+"Wow, this is like a cave!" Ben said. He pretended to be a lion king and growled. "I am the ruler of this fireplace!"
+
+Lily laughed and flapped her wings. She pretended to be a bird queen and sang. "I am the ruler of the sky!"
+
+They played for a while, until they heard their mom calling them. "Ben, Lily, time for lunch!"
+
+They crawled out of the fireplace and ran to the kitchen. They saw their mom smiling and holding a big plate of sandwiches. "Did you have fun, my little animals?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, mom, we had a lot of fun!" Ben said. "We were a lion and a bird, and we dived into the fireplace!"
+
+"We found a cave and we were the rulers!" Lily said.
+
+Mom hugged them and kissed their cheeks. "You are very creative and brave, my darlings. But you are also very dirty and hungry. Let's wash your hands and eat some good food!"
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. Today, Mom is making salad for lunch. She gives Sara and Ben some lettuce, tomatoes, carrots and cheese.
+
+"Can you wash the lettuce and tomatoes, Sara?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, Mom. I can do that," Sara says. She takes the lettuce and tomatoes to the sink. She turns on the water and rinses them.
+
+"Can you cut the cheese, Ben?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, Mom. I can do that," Ben says. He takes the cheese and a knife. He cuts the cheese into small pieces.
+
+Mom is happy. She says, "You are both very smart and helpful. Thank you, Sara and Ben."
+
+Sara and Ben smile. They are proud. They bring the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and carrots to the table. Mom has a big bowl and a spoon. She says, "Now, let's make the salad. Can you put the lettuce in the bowl, Sara?"
+
+Sara nods. She picks up the lettuce and tries to put it in the bowl. But the lettuce is slippery. It falls out of her hands. It scatters all over the floor.
+
+"Oh, no!" Sara says. She feels sad.
+
+Ben sees what happens. He says, "Don't worry, Sara. It's okay. We can pick it up."
+
+He drops the cheese and the knife. He helps Sara pick up the lettuce. They put it back in the bowl.
+
+Mom sees what happens. She says, "Don't worry, Sara and Ben. It's okay. Accidents happen. You are still very smart and helpful. And the salad looks delicious."
+
+She takes the spoon and mixes the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and carrots. She adds some dressing and salt. She says, "The salad is ready. Let's eat."
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They say, "Yay! Salad!"
+
+They sit down and eat the salad with Mom. They like the salad. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best."
+
+Mom hugs them. She says, "You are welcome, Sara and Ben. You are the best, too."
+Sara and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Sara had a big spoon and Tom had a mop. They stirred and mixed and poured and spilled.
+
+"Look, I made soup!" Sara said, holding up a pot of water and bubbles.
+
+"Yuck, that's not soup, that's dirty!" Tom said, pointing at the mop. "You can't use a mop to cook. That's for cleaning the floor."
+
+Sara was angry. She liked her soup. She thought Tom was mean. She threw the pot at him. The water and bubbles splashed all over Tom and the floor.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Tom shouted, wiping his face. He swung the mop at Sara. The mop hit Sara on the head. Sara felt dizzy. She fell down.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara cried, holding her head. "You hurt me!"
+
+Tom felt sorry. He didn't mean to hurt Sara. He dropped the mop and ran to her. He hugged her and said he was sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. I didn't mean to hit you. Are you okay?" Tom asked.
+
+Sara stopped crying. She looked at Tom. She saw he was wet and bubbly. She giggled.
+
+"You look funny, Tom. You look like a clown." Sara said.
+
+Tom looked at himself. He saw he was wet and bubbly. He giggled too.
+
+"You look funny too, Sara. You look like a snowman." Tom said.
+
+They laughed and hugged. They were friends again. They decided to clean up the mess. They used the mop and the spoon. They had fun. They were happy.
+Tom and Anna liked to play in the sand. They had a big spade and a small spade. They made castles and holes and bridges. They had fun.
+
+One day, they saw something unusual in the sand. It was shiny and round. Tom wanted to dig it out with the big spade. Anna wanted to look at it with the small spade. They argued.
+
+"Let me have the big spade!" Tom said.
+
+"No, I want it!" Anna said.
+
+They pulled and pushed the big spade. They did not see the shiny thing move.
+
+Suddenly, the shiny thing opened. It was an eye. A big eye. A big eye of a big crab. The crab was angry. It snapped its claws. It made a loud noise.
+
+Tom and Anna were scared. They dropped the spade. They ran away. The crab chased them.
+
+"Help!" Tom and Anna cried.
+
+They saw their mom and dad. They told them about the crab. Their mom and dad laughed.
+
+"It's not a crab, it's a toy!" their dad said. He picked up the toy. He showed them a button. He pressed it. The toy made the noise and moved its claws.
+
+Tom and Anna were surprised. They felt silly. They laughed too.
+
+"Who put this toy here?" their mom asked.
+
+They looked around. They saw a boy. He was hiding behind a rock. He was smiling. He had a remote control. He was the one who made the toy move.
+
+He waved at them. He said, "Sorry, I was just playing a joke. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tom and Anna looked at each other. They nodded. They liked jokes. They liked to play. They went to the boy. They became friends. They played with the toy crab and the spade. They had fun.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a big orange ball, a soft wool bear, and a shiny bike. She loved her toys very much and took good care of them.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new toy in the store. It was a green snake that could make noises and move. Lily wanted the snake very much, but her mom said no. She said the snake was not a good toy for Lily, and that she had enough toys at home.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She wanted the snake more than anything. She thought of a plan. She would sneak out of the house and go to the store by herself. She would take the snake and run away.
+
+Lily waited until her mom was busy in the kitchen. She put on her shoes and coat and grabbed her bike. She rode as fast as she could to the store. She saw the snake on a shelf. She reached for it and pulled it down. She was so happy. She put the snake in her pocket and got on her bike.
+
+But the snake was not happy. It did not like being in Lily's pocket. It was dark and tight. It wanted to be free. It bit Lily on the leg. Lily screamed and dropped her bike. She felt a sharp pain and saw blood. She was scared and sorry. She wished she had listened to her mom.
+
+A man who worked in the store heard Lily's scream. He ran to her and saw the snake. He took the snake away and called Lily's mom. He also called a doctor to help Lily. Lily's mom came and hugged her. She was worried and angry, but also glad that Lily was alive.
+
+Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that some toys are not good for her, and that she should not take things that are not hers. She also learned that she should not lie to her mom and run away. She said sorry to her mom and the man. She said goodbye to the snake and gave it back. She went home with her mom and her bike. She hugged her orange ball and her wool bear. She was happy with her toys. She did not want the snake anymore.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play at the beach. They loved to make sand castles, find shells and splash in the water. One day, they saw a big boat on the sea. They wanted to go closer and see what was on the boat.
+
+"Let's swim to the boat!" Tom said. He was strong and brave.
+
+"No, Tom, it's too far and too deep. We might get lost or hurt." Lily said. She was smart and careful.
+
+But Tom did not listen to Lily. He said he could do it and he ran into the water. Lily followed him, because she did not want him to go alone.
+
+They swam and swam, but the boat did not get any nearer. The water got colder and darker. They started to feel tired and scared. They wished they had stayed on the shore.
+
+Suddenly, they saw a big fish with sharp teeth. It was a shark! It was hungry and angry. It wanted to eat them!
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Lily screamed. They tried to swim away, but the shark was faster and stronger.
+
+They held each other's hands and squeezed them hard. They hoped someone would save them.
+
+Then, they heard a loud horn. It was the boat! The people on the boat had seen them and the shark. They threw a rope and a net into the water. They pulled Tom and Lily out of the water and into the boat. They also caught the shark and put it in a cage.
+
+"Are you okay?" one of the people asked them.
+
+"Yes, thank you. You saved us!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and cried. They were happy and grateful.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned to listen to their sister or brother, and not to go too far or too deep into the sea. They learned that the sea can be fun, but also dangerous. They learned that being strong is not enough, you also need to be smart and careful. And they learned that being together and squeezing each other's hands can help you when you are in trouble.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a pretend meal for their dolls. Lily found some pepper in a jar and decided to use it as a spice. Tom did not like pepper. He thought it was too hot and made him sneeze.
+
+"Let's serve the food now," Lily said. She put some pepper on a plate and gave it to her doll. "Here you go, Daisy. This is very yummy."
+
+"No, no, no!" Tom shouted. He grabbed the plate from Lily and threw it on the floor. "Pepper is bad! It hurts your mouth and nose. Daisy does not want pepper. She wants something light and sweet."
+
+Lily was angry. She did not like Tom's rude behavior. She thought he was mean and bossy. She pushed him away and picked up the plate. "You are wrong, Tom. Pepper is good. It makes the food tasty and warm. Daisy likes pepper. She is not a baby like you."
+
+Tom was hurt. He did not like Lily's mean words. He thought she was stubborn and selfish. He started to cry and ran to his mom. "Mom, mom, mom! Lily is mean to me. She put pepper on Daisy's food and said I am a baby. She does not want to play with me."
+
+Mom heard Tom's cry and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess on the floor and the angry faces of Lily and Tom. She sighed and hugged them both. "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over pepper?"
+
+Lily and Tom told their mom what happened. Mom listened and nodded. She understood their feelings. She said, "I know you both have different likes and dislikes. That is okay. But you have to respect each other and share. You can't force your doll to eat what you like or throw away what you don't like. You have to ask and offer. You have to say please and thank you. You have to be kind and gentle. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They felt sorry for their actions. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said sorry to their mom and helped her clean up the mess. They said sorry to their doll and gave her a new plate of food. They asked her what she liked and offered her some pepper and some light and sweet things. They said please and thank you. They were kind and gentle. They played happily together.
+Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Tom ran behind a big bush and waited for Lily to find him. He thought he had a good hiding spot.
+
+Lily looked around the garden and tried to find Tom. She saw a bird, a flower, a ball, but no Tom. She wondered where he was. She walked towards the bush where Tom was hiding. She heard a noise from behind the bush. She thought it was Tom.
+
+"Tom, I found you!" she shouted. "Come out and surrender!"
+
+But it was not Tom who came out of the bush. It was a big, scary dog. The dog had sharp teeth and angry eyes. The dog barked loudly and ran towards Lily. Lily was very afraid. She screamed and tried to run away.
+
+Tom heard Lily scream and came out of the bush. He saw the dog chasing Lily. He wanted to help her, but he was too scared. He ran to the house and locked the door. He hoped the dog would go away.
+
+But the dog did not go away. The dog caught Lily and bit her. Lily cried and bled. She wished Tom would come and save her. But Tom did not come. He hid in the house and did not open the door. He was a coward.
+
+The dog dragged Lily to his den under the bush. He ate her up. Lily was gone. Tom was alone. He felt very sorry and very sad. He had lost his friend because of his fear. He had made a big mistake. He had an unusual and bad ending.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with blocks. They wanted to make a big tower with many blocks. They took turns to add one block on top of another.
+
+"Look, our tower is so high!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Tom said. "We are good at building."
+
+They were happy and proud of their tower. They wanted to make it even higher. They had a dream to reach the sky with their blocks.
+
+But then, a big boy came. He was mean and strong. He saw their tower and laughed.
+
+"What a silly tower!" he said. "It is weak and ugly. I can break it with one push."
+
+He pushed their tower hard. All the blocks fell down. They made a loud noise. Lily and Tom were sad and scared. They cried.
+
+"Go away, you are bad!" Lily said.
+
+"Leave us alone, you are mean!" Tom said.
+
+But the big boy did not go away. He took their blocks and threw them away. He said he did not like them. He said they were stupid and boring.
+
+Lily and Tom had no more blocks. They had no more tower. They had no more dream. They felt weak and helpless. They hugged each other and sobbed.
+
+The big boy smiled and walked away. He did not care. He did not have any friends. He did not have any dreams. He was lonely and unhappy.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to race them on the floor and make loud noises.
+
+One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was full of old things that their dad wanted to throw away. They saw some shiny things inside and decided to look.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom said, holding a metal car. It was bigger and heavier than their toy cars. It had four wheels and a steering wheel, but no doors or windows. It was rusty and dusty.
+
+"Can we play with it?" Sam asked, reaching for the car.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Tom said, pulling the car away. "I found it first!"
+
+"But I want it too!" Sam said, trying to grab the car.
+
+They started to fight over the car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see their dad coming into the garage.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" their dad asked, seeing the mess. "Why are you fighting over that old thing?"
+
+"It's a car, dad!" Tom said. "It's cool!"
+
+"It's not a car, son," their dad said. "It's a dead car. It doesn't work anymore. It's just junk."
+
+"Junk?" Tom and Sam said, looking at the car. They saw that it was broken and dirty. They felt silly for fighting over it.
+
+"Can we play with something else, dad?" Sam asked.
+
+"Sure, you can," their dad said. "But first, you have to put the dead car back in the box. And then, you have to say sorry to each other. Fighting is not nice."
+
+Tom and Sam did what their dad said. They put the dead car back in the box. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They learned that sharing is better than fighting. And that old things are not always better than new things.
+
+They went back to their room and played with their toy cars. They had fun and made up stories. They pretended that their cars could go to the west, where the sun sets. They imagined that the west was a place full of adventure and wonder. They were happy and friendly. They were good brothers.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to travel with Mom and Dad. They have a big bag with clothes and toys. They also have a passport. A passport is a book with their names and photos. They need a passport to go to other countries.
+
+Today, they are going to a warm country. It is called Spain. They are very excited. They go to the airport with Mom and Dad. They see many planes and people. They wait in a line. A lady looks at their passports and smiles. She says, "Have a nice trip!"
+
+They board the plane. They find their seats and buckle their belts. They look out the window. They see the clouds and the sky. They hear the engine roar. The plane takes off. They feel a little scared, but also happy.
+
+They fly for a long time. They eat some snacks and watch some cartoons. They nap for a while. They wake up when the pilot says, "We are landing in Spain. Welcome to Madrid!"

+Lily loved to sign. She learned to sign from her mom, who was deaf. Lily could talk with her voice, too, but she liked to use her hands as well. She thought signing was brilliant.
+
+One day, Lily went to the library with her mom. She saw a big bookshelf full of books. She wanted to read them all. She ran to the bookshelf and picked a book with a colorful cover. She showed it to her mom and signed, "Can I read this?"
+
+Her mom smiled and nodded. She signed, "Yes, you can. But be quiet, please. This is a quiet place."
+
+Lily nodded and opened the book. She looked at the pictures and the words. She tried to read them with her voice and her hands. She liked the story. It was about a girl who went on an adventure with her dog.
+
+She read and signed until the book was finished. Then she put it back on the bookshelf and picked another one. She was happy. She loved to sign and read. She thought the library was brilliant.
+One day, a little crab was walking on the sand. He saw a big shell that was shiny and pretty. He wanted to make it his home. He went to the shell and tried to get inside.
+
+But the shell was not empty. There was a big snail inside. The snail did not like the crab. He poked his head out and said, "Go away! This is my shell!"
+
+The crab did not listen. He pushed harder and harder. He wanted the shell very much. The snail got angry. He stretched his long neck and slapped the crab with his wet tongue.
+
+The crab was scared and hurt. He let go of the shell and ran away. He felt helpless and sad. He did not have a home.
+
+He saw another crab walking by. The other crab was friendly and kind. He said, "Hello, little crab. Why are you so sad?"
+
+The little crab told him what happened. The other crab said, "Don't worry. I know a place where there are many shells. You can find one that is empty and fits you. Come with me, I will show you."
+
+The little crab smiled and followed the other crab. He hoped to find a new home soon. He was glad he had a new friend.
+Lily liked to draw. She had many colors and papers. She made prints of her drawings. She wanted to show them to her friends. She put them in a big bag.
+
+She walked to the store with her mom. She saw a big sign. It said "Art Show". She wanted to go in. She asked her mom.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the art show? I want to see the prints."
+
+Mom smiled. She said "Yes, we can go. But first, we have to buy some milk and eggs. Then we can go to the art show. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded. She followed her mom to the store. She held her bag tight. She did not want to lose her prints.
+
+But when they got to the store, there was a problem. A big dog was outside. It barked loud. It ran to Lily. It wanted to play. It jumped on her. It knocked her down. It grabbed her bag. It ran away.
+
+Lily cried. She said "No, no, no! My prints! My prints!"
+
+Mom hugged her. She said "Oh, no! I'm sorry, Lily. That was a bad dog. It took your prints. Are you OK?"
+
+Lily was sad. She said "I'm OK, mom. But my prints are gone. I can't show them to my friends. I worked hard on them."
+
+Mom said "I know, Lily. You did work hard. You are a good artist. You are successful. But don't worry. We can make more prints. We can go home and draw again. We can come back to the art show another day. OK?"
+
+Lily wiped her tears. She said "OK, mom. Thank you, mom. I love you, mom."
+
+Mom said "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's go home. We can still buy some milk and eggs on the way. And maybe some cookies too. OK?"
+
+Lily smiled. She said "OK, mom. Cookies sound good. And maybe some ice cream too?"
+
+Mom laughed. She said "Maybe some ice cream too. But only if you eat your dinner first. OK?"
+
+Lily said "OK, mom. That sounds fair. Let's go home."
+
+They walked home. They held hands. They were happy. They still liked to draw. They still liked to make prints. They still wanted to go to the art show. But they also liked to eat cookies and ice cream. And they loved each other. The end.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben wanted to play with the doll too.
+
+"Can I have the doll?" Ben asked Anna.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Anna said. She hugged the doll and turned away from Ben.
+
+Ben frowned. He did not like it when Anna did not share. He thought she was being mean. He wished he had a doll of his own.
+
+He looked around and saw a teddy bear on the couch. He ran to get it and brought it back to the floor.
+
+"Look, I have a teddy bear!" Ben said. He hoped Anna would want to play with him now.
+
+But Anna did not look at him. She was still holding the doll and talking to it. She pretended Ben was not there.
+
+Ben felt sad and confused. He did not understand why Anna did not want to be his friend. He liked the teddy bear, but he wanted to play with Anna more.
+
+He decided to try again. He put the teddy bear next to the doll and smiled at Anna.
+
+"Hi, doll. Hi, teddy bear. Do you want to play with us?" Ben said.
+
+Anna looked at him and saw his smile. She felt sorry for being mean to him. She realized he just wanted to have fun with her.
+
+She smiled back and nodded.
+
+"Hi, Ben. Hi, teddy bear. Yes, we want to play with you!" Anna said.
+
+She moved the doll closer to the teddy bear and gave Ben a hug.

+Ben was happy. He hugged Anna back and thanked her for sharing.

+
+Sue is sad. She loves Tom. She wants to make him happy. She says, "Tom, please don't be mad. I made your favorite dinner. Let's eat and talk and hug. Maybe you will feel better."
+
+Tom does not listen. He says, "I don't want your dinner. I don't want to talk. I don't want to hug. I want you to go away. You are boring and weak and annoying. I don't want you as my wife. I want a tough wife who can work and play like me."
+
+Sue is shocked. She cries. She says, "Tom, how can you say that? I am your wife. I love you. You are hurting me. Please don't say that. Please don't leave me."
+
+Tom does not care. He says, "I don't love you. I don't care if I hurt you. I want to leave you. I want a new wife. Goodbye, Sue." He grabs his coat and his keys and walks out the door. He slams the door behind him. He does not look back.
+
+Sue is left alone in the house with the dog. She is heartbroken. She does not know what to do. She hugs the dog and cries. The dog licks her face and whines. He is sad too. He does not understand why Tom is gone. He wants Tom to come back. He wants Tom to be nice to Sue and to him. He wants them to be a happy family again. But Tom does not come back. He is gone for good. Sue and the dog are alone and unhappy. The end.
+Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had a cute dress and long hair. Sara liked to brush her hair and make her talk.
+
+One day, Sara's mom said they had to move to a new house. Sara was sad. She did not want to leave her friends and her room. She packed her dolls in a big box. She wrote her name on the box. She hoped her dolls would be safe.
+
+Sara's dad put the box in the car. He drove to the new house. Sara sat in the back seat. She looked out the window. She saw many new things. She did not like them. She missed her old house.
+
+When they got to the new house, Sara's dad took the box out of the car. He was in a hurry. He did not see the sign on the door. The sign said "mail". He thought the box was for the mailman. He put the box on the stage. The stage was where the mailman picked up the boxes.
+
+Sara did not see what her dad did. She ran inside the new house. She looked for her room. She found it. It was small and empty. She cried. She wanted her dolls. She asked her mom where they were.
+
+Her mom said they were in the car. She went to the car. She did not see the box. She asked her dad where the box was. He said he put it on the stage. He said he thought it was for the mail.
+
+Sara and her mom ran to the stage. They saw the mailman. He had a big truck. He had many boxes. He had Sara's box. He put it in the truck. He drove away.
+
+Sara screamed. She wanted her dolls. She wanted Lily. She ran after the truck. She could not catch it. She fell down. She hurt her knee. She cried.
+
+Her mom and dad hugged her. They said they were sorry. They said they would buy her new dolls. They said they would find Lily. They said they loved her.
+
+But Sara did not believe them. She did not want new dolls. She wanted her old dolls. She wanted Lily. She hated the new house. She hated the mail. She hated the stage. She was very unhappy.
+Ben and Lily liked to play pretend. They had many toys and costumes to make up stories. One day, they decided to perform a show for their mom and dad. They put on masks and hats and grabbed a big box.
+
+"What is our show about?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"It is about a skeleton who is very dependable. He helps everyone in the town with their problems. He is very smart and kind," Ben said.
+
+"That sounds fun. I will be the skeleton. You can be the townspeople. What problems do they have?" Lily said.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He said, "One townsperson has a broken bike. Another townsperson has a lost cat. And another townsperson has a big test."
+
+"OK, let's start. You can introduce the show," Lily said.
+
+Ben cleared his throat and said, "Welcome to our show. It is called The Dependable Skeleton. Please clap and cheer for our star, Lily the skeleton!"
+
+Lily came out of the box and waved. She said, "Hello, I am the dependable skeleton. I like to help people. Who needs my help today?"
+
+Ben changed his voice and said, "I do, I do. I am a townsperson with a broken bike. Can you fix it for me?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Of course. I am good at fixing things. Let me see your bike."
+
+Ben pretended to give her a bike. Lily pretended to look at it and said, "I see the problem. Your chain is loose. I can tighten it with my bones. There, it is fixed. You can ride it now."
+
+Ben pretended to ride the bike and said, "Wow, thank you, dependable skeleton. You are amazing. How can I repay you?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You don't have to repay me. I am happy to help. Just be kind to others and have fun."
+
+Ben said, "I will, I will. Thank you again, dependable skeleton. You are the best."
+
+Lily bowed and said, "You are welcome. Who else needs my help?"
+
+Ben changed his voice again and said, "I do, I do. I am a townsperson with a lost cat. Can you find it for me?"
+
+Lily said, "Sure. I love animals. What does your cat look like?"
+
+Ben said, "It is black and white and fluffy. It has a bell on its collar. It likes to chase mice and birds."
+
+Lily said, "OK, I will look for it. Maybe it is hiding somewhere. Do you have a picture of it?"
+
+Ben pretended to show her a picture and said, "Here it is. Its name is Spot. I miss it so much."
+
+Lily said, "Don't worry. I will find it for you. I have a good sense of smell. I can follow its trail."
+
+Lily pretended to sniff around and said, "I smell it. It is this way. Come on, let's go."
+
+Ben followed her and said, "OK, let's go. I hope we find it soon."
+
+Lily and Ben walked around the room and pretended to look for the cat. They made noises like meow and woof and chirp. They had fun pretending to be the dependable skeleton and the townspeople. They hoped their mom and dad liked their show.
+Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and pretend they were king and queen. One day, they found a shiny ring on the ground. Anna put it on her finger and said, "Look, Ben, I have a pretty ring. Do you want to marry me?"
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Yes, Anna, I want to marry you. You are my queen and I am your king. We can rule the park together." They hugged and kissed and ran to the slide.
+
+But there was a problem. A big boy named Tom saw them and wanted the ring. He was a bully and a thief. He followed them and waited for a chance to grab the ring. He thought, "That ring is mine. I will take it from the girl and sell it for candy. She is crazy to wear it in the park. She does not know how valuable it is."
+
+When Anna and Ben reached the slide, they saw a guard standing there. He was wearing a uniform and a hat. He looked friendly and kind. He said, "Hello, children. What are you doing here?"
+
+Anna and Ben said, "Hello, guard. We are playing king and queen. We are going to slide and have fun. See, we have a ring. We are married."
+
+The guard smiled and said, "That's very nice. But can I see your ring for a moment? I think it might be something special."
+
+Anna and Ben trusted the guard. They did not know he was Tom's uncle. He was also a thief and a liar. He took the ring from Anna and said, "Thank you, children. This ring is very special indeed. It belongs to the museum. It is very old and rare. I have to take it back. You can't play with it anymore."
+
+Anna and Ben were sad and confused. They did not understand why the guard took their ring. They said, "But, guard, that's our ring. We found it in the park. We are married. Please give it back."
+
+The guard said, "No, children, you are not married. You are too young to marry. And you did not find the ring. You stole it from the museum. You are crazy to think you can keep it. Now go away and don't bother me."
+
+The guard ran away with the ring. He met Tom and gave him the ring. They laughed and said, "We are rich. We fooled those stupid kids. They are crazy to play king and queen. They don't know anything."
+
+Anna and Ben cried and hugged each other. They felt betrayed and hurt. They said, "We are not crazy. We are not stupid. We are king and queen. We love each other. We will find another ring and marry again." They walked away from the park, holding hands. They did not give up on their dream.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big sign. The sign has a picture of a lion and a mouse. The sign says: "Come to the theater and watch the show!"
+
+Anna and Ben want to see the show. They ask their moms if they can go. Their moms say yes, but they have to hurry. The show starts soon.
+
+Anna and Ben jog to the theater. They hold hands and laugh. They are very excited. They get to the theater and find their seats. They see many people and many lights.
+
+The show begins. The lion and the mouse come on the stage. They are not real. They are people in furry costumes. They act and sing and dance. They tell a story about how they become friends.
+
+Anna and Ben watch the show. They clap and cheer. They like the lion and the mouse. They think they are funny and kind. They learn that big and small can be friends.
+
+The show ends. The lion and the mouse bow and wave. Anna and Ben say thank you and goodbye. They hug their moms and go home. They talk about the show. They are happy. They had a fun day.
+Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big mountain far away.
+
+"Look, Sara, a mountain!" Tom said. "Do you want to go there?"
+
+"Yes, Tom, I do!" Sara said. "Let's go!"
+
+They ran to the mountain. It was very high and hard to climb. They got tired and thirsty. They wished they had water and snacks.
+
+"Tom, I'm sorry," Sara said. "This was a bad idea. We should go back."
+
+"Sara, I'm sorry, too," Tom said. "But we can't go back. It's too late. The sun is going down. We have to stay here."
+
+They found a cave and cuddled together. They were scared and cold. They missed their moms and dads.
+
+"Tom, do you think they will find us?" Sara asked.
+
+"I hope so, Sara," Tom said. "But don't worry. We have each other. We are friends."
+
+"Tom, can we be more than friends?" Sara asked. "Can we be like mom and dad?"
+
+"Like mom and dad?" Tom asked. "You mean, can we marry?"
+
+"Yes, Tom, can we marry?" Sara asked.
+
+"OK, Sara, we can marry," Tom said. "But how do we do that?"
+
+"I don't know, Tom," Sara said. "Maybe we just say it. I marry you, Tom."
+
+"I marry you, Sara," Tom said.
+
+They hugged and kissed. They felt happy and warm. They pretended they were mom and dad.
+
+They did not know that their moms and dads were looking for them. They did not know that they would soon be found and taken home. They did not know that they were too young to marry. They only knew that they loved each other. And that was enough.
+Lily and Sam went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They had a big bag with toys and food. Mom said they had to unpack the bag and put everything in a tidy place. Lily and Sam helped Mom and Dad unpack the bag. They took out the buckets, the shovels, the balls, the hats, and the sandwiches. They put them on a big towel on the sand.
+
+Then Lily saw something shiny in the water. She ran to the water and picked it up. It was a hard thing with two parts. She opened it and saw a white thing inside. She showed it to Sam. "What is this?" she asked.
+
+Sam looked at it and said, "It is an oyster. It is a kind of animal that lives in the water. Sometimes it has a pearl inside. A pearl is a shiny ball that is very pretty."
+
+Lily looked at the white thing and said, "Is this a pearl?"
+
+Sam shook his head and said, "No, this is not a pearl. This is just the oyster's meat. You can eat it, but it does not taste very good."
+
+Lily made a face and said, "I don't want to eat it. I want to find a pearl."
+
+She threw the oyster back into the water and said, "Let's go and find more oysters. Maybe we can find a pearl."
+
+Sam nodded and said, "OK, let's go. But we have to be careful not to cut ourselves on the oysters. They are very sharp."
+
+Lily and Sam ran along the water and looked for more oysters. They had fun finding and opening them. But they did not find any pearls. They only found more white meat. They did not eat it. They gave it to the seagulls. The seagulls liked it very much. They said, "Thank you, Lily and Sam. You are very kind."
+
+Lily and Sam smiled and said, "You are welcome, seagulls. We are glad you like the oysters. We like the beach. It is a very nice place."
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with fire. They have a box of matches and some paper. They go to the backyard when Mom is busy.
+
+"Let's test how fire works," Tom says. He strikes a match and holds it to a paper. The paper burns and makes a bright flame. "Wow, look at that!" Sam says.
+
+They burn more papers and watch the fire grow. They see smoke and ash in the air. They feel the heat on their faces. They think it is fun and exciting.
+
+But then they hear a loud noise. It is Mom. She sees the fire and runs to them. She is very angry and scared. She grabs the matches and the papers and throws them in a bucket of water. She puts out the fire.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom yells. "Fire is dangerous! It can hurt you and the house! You are very naughty boys!"
+
+Tom and Sam are sorry. They did not know fire was so fierce. They hug Mom and say they are sorry. Mom hugs them back and says she loves them. But she also says they have to learn about fire safety. She takes them inside and teaches them how to be careful with fire. Tom and Sam listen and promise to never play with fire again.
+Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play on the farm. They had many animals to see and feed, but their favorite was Billy the goat. Billy was gray and had horns and a beard. He was very friendly and liked to eat grass and hay.
+
+One day, Tom and Sue decided to give Billy a treat. They found some apples in the kitchen and put them in a basket. They ran to the barn where Billy was sleeping. They wanted to surprise him and make him happy.
+
+They opened the barn door and saw Billy lying on some straw. They tiptoed closer and whispered, "Billy, wake up! We have something for you!"
+
+Billy opened his eyes and saw the twins. He also saw the basket of apples. He loved apples! He jumped up and ran to them. He tried to grab the basket with his mouth, but Tom and Sue held it up. They wanted to give him one apple at a time.
+
+But Billy was too eager and impatient. He pushed the twins with his horns and made them fall. The basket flew out of their hands and landed on the floor. The apples rolled out and scattered all over the barn.
+
+Billy was happy. He started to eat the apples one by one. He did not care that he had made a mess and hurt the twins. He only cared about the apples.
+
+Tom and Sue were sad and angry. They got up and dusted themselves off. They looked at Billy and said, "Bad goat! You are greedy and rude! You don't deserve any apples!"
+
+They turned around and walked out of the barn. They left Billy alone with his apples. They did not want to play with him anymore. They learned that some animals are not good friends.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big bird on a tree. The bird has a twig in its beak. Sara and Ben want to catch the bird.
+
+"Look, Ben, a bird!" Sara says. "Let's catch it and see its twig!"
+
+"OK, Sara, but how?" Ben asks. "The bird is too high and too fast."
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She sees a smelly trash can near the tree. She has an idea.
+
+"I know, Ben! We can use the trash can to make the bird come down. Maybe the bird likes smelly things. You push the trash can under the tree. I will hide behind it. When the bird comes down, I will jump and catch it!"
+
+Ben nods. He pushes the trash can under the tree. It makes a loud noise. The bird hears the noise and looks down. It sees the trash can. It smells the trash can. It likes the smell. It flies down to the trash can.
+
+Sara waits behind the trash can. She sees the bird coming closer. She gets ready to jump. She jumps and tries to catch the bird.
+
+But the bird is too smart. It sees Sara jumping. It flaps its wings and flies away. It drops the twig on Sara's head. Sara falls on the trash can. She gets smelly and dirty.
+
+"Ouch!" Sara says. "The bird is too clever. It tricked me. And it gave me its twig. How rude!"
+
+Ben laughs. He helps Sara get up. He takes the twig from her head.
+
+"Maybe the bird wanted to share its twig with you, Sara. Maybe it likes you. Here, you can keep the twig. It is a gift from the bird."
+
+Sara smiles. She takes the twig from Ben. She looks at the twig. It is a nice twig. She says thank you to the bird.
+
+"Thank you, bird. I'm sorry I tried to catch you. You are a good bird. And you have a nice twig. I will keep it and make something with it. Maybe a nest. Or a crown. Or a wand."
+
+Sara and Ben walk away from the trash can. They hold hands. They are happy. They still want to catch a bird. But not today. Today they have a twig. And that is enough.
+Sam is a small boy who likes to play with his toys. He has many toys, but his favorite is a large red truck. He likes to drive the truck around the house and make loud noises.
+
+One day, his parent tells him it is time to go to the park. Sam does not want to go. He wants to play with his truck. He says, "No, no, no! I want to play with my truck!"
+
+His parent says, "Sam, you have to go to the park. It is a nice day and you can play with other children. You can bring your truck with you."
+
+Sam shakes his head. He does not want to share his truck. He says, "No, no, no! My truck is mine! I want to play with my truck here!"
+
+His parent is not happy. He says, "Sam, you are being selfish. You have to share your toys with others. It is not nice to keep them all to yourself. You can play with your truck later. Now, put on your shoes and coat and let's go to the park."
+
+Sam still does not want to go. He insists on playing with his truck. He says, "No, no, no! I want to play with my truck now! I don't want to go to the park!"
+
+His parent is very angry. He says, "Sam, that is enough. You are not listening to me. You are being rude and stubborn. You have to do what I say. You are going to the park and that is final. Now, give me your truck and get ready."
+
+Sam cries. He does not want to give up his truck. He loves his truck. He says, "No, no, no! Please, please, please! Let me play with my truck!"
+
+His parent does not listen. He takes the truck from Sam and puts it on the shelf. He says, "Sam, you can play with your truck when we come back from the park. Now, stop crying and let's go."
+
+Sam is very sad. He does not want to go to the park. He wants to play with his truck. He does not understand why his parent is so mean. He thinks his parent does not love him or his truck. He says, "No, no, no!" But his parent does not hear him. He takes him by the hand and leads him to the door. Sam looks back at his truck and wishes he could play with it. He says, "Bye, bye, truck. I miss you."
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big kite in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. The wind makes it fly high and fast.
+
+"Wow, look at the kite!" Lily says. "I want to fly a kite too!"
+
+"Me too!" Tom says. "Let's make our own kites!"
+
+They run to the house and find some paper, sticks, string and tape. They cut and stick and tie and make two kites. One is green and purple and pink. The other is orange and black and white.
+
+They run back outside and hold their kites. They wait for the wind to blow. But the wind is very quiet. Their kites do not fly. They only hang down.
+
+"Oh no, the wind is gone!" Lily says. "What can we do?"
+
+"Maybe we can make the wind!" Tom says. He has an idea. He is very smart. He takes a big fan from the house and plugs it in. He turns it on and points it at the kites.
+
+The fan makes a loud noise. It also makes a lot of wind. The wind hits the kites and makes them fly. Lily and Tom are very happy. They laugh and clap and run with their kites.
+
+But the fan is too strong. It makes too much wind. The wind pulls the kites hard. The string breaks. The kites fly away.
+
+"Oh no, our kites are gone!" Tom says. He is very sad. He drops the fan and sits on the ground.
+
+Lily sees Tom is sad. She wants to help him. She is very kind. She goes to him and hugs him. She says, "It's okay, Tom. We can make new kites. We still have paper and sticks and string and tape. And we still have each other. We are friends. We support each other."
+
+Tom feels better. He hugs Lily back. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are right. We are friends. We support each other. And we still have fun."
+
+They smile and get up. They go to the house and make new kites. They are more careful with the fan. They fly their kites and have fun. They are happy.
+
+The end.
+Lily liked to bake with her mom. They made cakes and pies and cookies. Lily loved to mix and stir and pour. She also loved to eat the yummy treats.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom baked a big cake for dad's birthday. They put it on the table to cool. Lily wanted to eat some, but mom said no. She said they had to wait for dad to come home.
+
+Lily went to play in the yard. She saw a pigeon on the fence. The pigeon looked weird. It had a red hat and a blue scarf. Lily thought it was funny. She wanted to say hello.
+
+She ran to the fence and called the pigeon. The pigeon flew away. Lily followed it. She did not see where it went. She looked around. She saw the cake on the table. She saw a big hole in the cake. She saw the pigeon's hat and scarf on the floor.
+
+Lily was shocked. The weird pigeon ate the cake! She ran to mom and told her. Mom was angry. She said they had to bake a new cake. Lily was sorry. She said she would help.
+
+They baked a new cake. It was bigger and better. They put it in a box and locked it. They waited for dad to come home. Lily hoped the weird pigeon would not come back. She hoped dad would like the cake. She hoped mom would not be mad. She learned a lesson. She learned to not chase weird pigeons.
+Tom was a boy who liked to play with his toy cars. He had a big red car, a small blue car, and a yellow truck. He liked to make them zoom and beep on the floor. One day, he decided to take his cars outside and play in the garden. He found a nice spot under a tree and started to make a road with some sticks and stones.
+
+But he did not see the big dog that was sleeping nearby. The dog woke up and saw the yellow truck. He thought it was a bone and ran towards it. He grabbed it with his teeth and started to shake it. Tom was scared and angry. He shouted, "No, bad dog! That is my truck! Give it back!"
+
+The dog did not listen. He ran away with the truck, wagging his tail. Tom chased him, but he was too fast. Tom felt sad and cried. He wanted his truck back. He did not know what to do.
+
+Then he heard a voice. It was his friend Sam, who lived next door. Sam had a bike and a helmet. He saw what happened and came to help. He said, "Don't worry, Tom. I will rescue your truck. Hop on my bike and we will catch the dog."
+
+Tom wiped his tears and smiled. He climbed on the bike behind Sam and held on tight. Sam pedaled hard and followed the dog. He was brave and smart. He knew where the dog liked to go. He took a shortcut and reached the park. He saw the dog lying on the grass, chewing on the truck.
+
+Sam stopped the bike and got off. He walked slowly towards the dog and said, "Hey, boy. That is not a bone. That is a toy. Can I have it, please?" He reached out his hand and tried to be friendly.
+
+The dog looked at him and wagged his tail. He dropped the truck and licked Sam's hand. He was not a bad dog. He was just hungry and bored. Sam picked up the truck and gave it to Tom. He said, "Here you go, Tom. I rescued your truck. Are you happy?"
+
+Tom hugged the truck and said, "Yes, Sam. I am very happy. You are a great friend. Thank you for rescuing my truck. Do you want to play with me and my cars?"
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Sure, Tom. I would love to play with you and your cars. But first, let's give the dog some water and a biscuit. He is a good dog. Maybe he can play with us too."
+
+Tom agreed and said, "Okay, Sam. Let's do that. You are right. He is a good dog. Maybe he can be our friend too."
+
+They went to the fountain and filled a bowl with water. They found a biscuit in Sam's backpack and gave it to the dog. The dog drank and ate and wagged his tail. He followed them to the tree and played with them and their cars. They had a lot of fun and became friends. Tom was happy. He had his truck back and he had two new friends. He thought, "This is a great day."
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play music. Tom had a piano at his house and he could play many songs. Lily had a flute and she could play some songs too. They liked to play music together and have fun.
+
+One day, they went to Tom's house to play the piano. Tom played a song that he learned at school. Lily clapped and said, "You are very good, Tom. Can you teach me how to play the piano?" Tom said, "Sure, Lily. I can teach you. Come and sit next to me."
+
+Tom showed Lily how to press the keys and make sounds. Lily tried to follow Tom, but she made some mistakes. She pressed the wrong keys and made funny noises. Tom laughed and said, "That is not how you play the piano, Lily. You are bad at it. You should stick to your flute."
+
+Lily felt sad and hurt. She did not like Tom laughing at her. She said, "You are not kind, Tom. You are mean. You should not laugh at me. I am trying to learn. You are not a good friend." She got up and took her flute. She said, "I do not want to play with you anymore. Goodbye, Tom." She ran out of the house and went home.
+
+Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He realized that he was wrong to laugh at Lily. He did not mean to hurt her. He wanted to say sorry and make up with her. He took his piano and went to Lily's house. He knocked on the door and said, "Lily, can I talk to you? I am sorry for laughing at you. You are not bad at the piano. You are good at the flute. You are a good friend. Can we play music together again?"
+
+Lily opened the door and saw Tom with his piano. She smiled and said, "I forgive you, Tom. You are sorry and you are kind. You are a good friend too. Yes, we can play music together again. Come in, Tom."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged and went inside. They played the piano and the flute together. They made beautiful music and had fun. They learned to be kind and respectful to each other. They learned that music is a gift that can bring people together.
+Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was brown and furry. It had a collar with a name tag. The name tag said "Rex".
+
+"Look, a dog!" Ben said. "Can we pet it?"
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it is not friendly."
+
+They walked closer to the dog. The dog saw them and wagged its tail. It looked happy. Ben and Lily smiled.
+
+"Hi, Rex!" Ben said. He reached out his hand to touch the dog's head.
+
+But then, another boy came running to the dog. He was older and bigger than Ben and Lily. He had a stick in his hand. He shouted at them.
+
+"Hey, get away from my dog!" he said. "He is not for you!"
+
+He swung the stick at Ben and Lily. They were scared. They ran away from the dog.
+
+"Stop it!" Rex barked. He did not like the boy. He did not like the stick. He jumped at the boy and bit his leg.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" the boy cried. He dropped the stick and ran away too.
+
+Rex chased him for a while. Then he came back to Ben and Lily. He licked their faces. He wanted to be their friend.
+
+"Good dog, Rex!" Ben and Lily said. They hugged him. They were not scared anymore.
+
+They played with Rex until his owner came. His owner was a nice lady. She thanked Ben and Lily for being kind to Rex. She said Rex was an ordinary dog, but he had a big heart. She gave them some treats to share with Rex.
+
+Ben and Lily were happy. They had a new friend. They said goodbye to Rex and his owner. They went home with their toys. They hoped to see Rex again soon.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they have a new toy. It is a kite. The kite is big and colorful. It has a long tail.
+
+"Let's fly the kite!" Lily says. "It will be fun!"
+
+"OK!" Tom says. "But we have to be careful. The kite can be dangerous."
+
+They go to the park. They find a big space. They run with the kite. The kite goes up in the sky. It dances with the wind. Lily and Tom are happy.
+
+But then, something bad happens. The kite flies too high. It gets close to a big tree. The tree has many branches. The branches are sharp.
+
+"Look out!" Tom shouts. "The kite will get stuck!"
+
+Lily tries to pull the kite. But it is too late. The kite hits the tree. The tail gets tangled. The kite can't move.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cries. "Our kite is gone!"
+
+They are sad. They don't know what to do. They look at the tree. The tree is very tall. They can't reach the kite.
+
+"Maybe we can ask for help," Tom says. "Maybe someone can get the kite for us."
+
+They look around. They see a man. The man is walking a dog. The dog is big and friendly. It wags its tail.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Lily says. "Can you help us? Our kite is in the tree. We can't get it."
+
+The man looks at the tree. He sees the kite. He smiles.
+
+"Sure, I can help you," he says. "But you have to be more careful next time. Flying a kite can be dangerous. You have to watch out for trees and wires and birds."
+
+He walks to the tree. He climbs the tree. He untangles the kite. He brings it down. He gives it to Lily and Tom.
+
+"Thank you, sir!" they say. "You are very kind!"
+
+"You're welcome," he says. "Now, go and have fun. But be safe. And don't let go of the kite."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They hold the kite. They run to the park. They fly the kite again. They are careful. They are happy. The end.
+Sara and Ben liked to play in the park. They ran and jumped and slid and swung. They had fun with their friends and their toys. But they also liked to eat. They always brought snacks and drinks to the park.
+
+One day, they saw a big fountain in the park. It was new and shiny and made a lot of water go up and down. Sara and Ben wanted to see it closer. They ran to the fountain and looked at it. It was pretty and cool and made a nice sound.
+
+Sara and Ben were hungry. They remembered their snacks and drinks. They left them on a bench near the fountain. They went back to the bench and opened their bags. They saw something bad. A big dog was there. It was eating their snacks and drinks. It was not quiet. It was loud and messy and greedy.
+
+Sara and Ben were sad and angry. They wanted their snacks and drinks. They shouted at the dog. The dog did not listen. It kept eating their snacks and drinks. It did not care about Sara and Ben.
+
+Sara and Ben had an idea. They saw a hose near the fountain. It was long and thin and had a nozzle. They grabbed the hose and turned it on. They aimed it at the dog. They sprayed the dog with water. The dog was surprised and scared. It stopped eating their snacks and drinks. It ran away from the hose and the fountain and the park.
+
+Sara and Ben were happy and proud. They saved their snacks and drinks. They ate them and drank them. They were tasty and refreshing. They thanked the hose and the fountain. They went back to play in the park. They had more fun with their friends and their toys.
+Lily and Sam were playing in the garden on a hot day. They saw a hose near the flowers. Lily wanted to drink some water from the hose. She turned the tap and put the hose in her mouth.
+
+"Yuck!" she said. "This water tastes bad. It tastes like dirt and soap."
+
+Sam laughed. He said, "That hose is broken. It has a hole in it. The water is not clean. You should not drink from it."
+
+Lily spat out the water. She felt sick. She said, "I wish I listened to you. I should have asked mom for a glass of water instead."
+
+Sam said, "It's okay. I will help you. Come on, let's go inside and tell mom. She will make you feel better."
+
+Lily and Sam learned a lesson. They learned that they should not drink from a broken hose. They learned that they should always ask for clean water. They learned that they should listen to their friends.
+Lila and Ben are at the beach with Mom and Dad. They like to play in the sand. They make a big pile of sand and pat it with their hands. They find some shells and stones and stick them on the sand pile. They say it is their castle.
+
+"Look at our castle, Mom!" Lila says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "It is very pretty, Lila. You and Ben are very creative."
+
+Ben sees a ball near the water. He runs to get it. He throws it to Lila. Lila catches it and throws it back. They laugh and have fun.
+
+"Let's roll the ball on the sand!" Ben says. "It will make a funny trail!"
+
+They roll the ball on the sand, back and forth. The ball makes a wavy line on the sand. They follow the line with their feet. They see where it goes.
+
+The line goes to a big crab. The crab is holding the ball with its claws. It looks angry.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Lila says. "The crab has our ball!"
+
+"Give it back, crab!" Ben says. "It is our ball!"
+
+The crab snaps its claws and makes a loud noise. It does not want to give the ball back.
+
+Lila and Ben are scared. They run to Mom and Dad. They tell them about the crab.
+
+Mom and Dad go to the crab. They talk to it nicely. They ask it to give the ball back. They say they will give it some fish. The crab likes fish. It lets go of the ball. It takes the fish.
+
+Mom and Dad give the ball to Lila and Ben. They hug them and say, "It's okay. The crab was just hungry. It did not mean to be mean."
+
+Lila and Ben say, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. Thank you, crab."
+
+They play with the ball again. They are careful not to roll it near the crab. They have a mild day at the beach. They are happy.
+Molly was miserable. She missed her daddy very much. He had to go away for work and he was gone for a long time. Molly wanted to hug him and play with him and hear his stories. She asked her mommy every day when he would come back.
+
+Mommy tried to cheer Molly up. She read her books and sang her songs and made her cookies. She told her that daddy loved her and he would call her soon. She said they could draw pictures and write letters for him. But Molly was still miserable.
+
+One day, Molly was playing with her dolls in her room. She heard the phone ring and mommy answered it. Molly ran to the living room and saw mommy smiling and talking. She heard mommy say, "Hi, daddy!"
+
+Molly was so happy. She shouted, "Daddy, daddy, daddy!" She grabbed the phone from mommy and hugged it to her ear. She heard daddy's voice and she felt warm and fuzzy.
+
+"Hi, Molly, I miss you so much. How are you, my sweetie?" daddy said.
+
+"I miss you too, daddy. I'm miserable without you. When are you coming home?" Molly said.
+
+"Soon, Molly, very soon. I have a surprise for you. Do you want to hear it?" daddy said.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes. What is it, daddy?" Molly said.
+
+"Well, I can't tell you now. It's a secret. But I'll mention it to mommy and she'll tell you when it's time. OK?" daddy said.
+
+"OK, daddy. I love you. Bye, bye." Molly said.
+
+"I love you too, Molly. Bye, bye." daddy said.
+
+Molly gave the phone back to mommy and smiled. She was still miserable, but a little less. She wondered what the surprise was. She hoped it was something good. She hoped daddy would come home soon.

+
+"Mom, can you help us wrap the gift?" Lily said.
+

+Zero was a light blue robot who liked to help people. He had many friends who lived in the big house with him. One day, he saw that his friend Lily, a little girl, had a dirty face. He wanted to make her happy, so he said, "Lily, let me wash your face. You will look nice and clean."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Zero. You are very kind. But how will you wash my face? You have no water or soap."
+
+Zero thought for a moment. He looked around and saw a bowl of fruit on the table. He picked up a grape and squeezed it. Juice came out of the grape. He said, "I can use this juice to wash your face. It is wet and sweet."
+
+Lily giggled and said, "Okay, Zero. But be careful. Don't make my face sticky."
+
+Zero nodded and gently rubbed the juice on Lily's face. He wiped it with a soft cloth. He said, "There, Lily. Your face is clean and shiny. Do you like it?"

+Tom and Lily were playing on the beach. They liked to build sand castles and dig holes. They also liked to splash in the water, but not too far from the shore. Their mom told them to be careful and not go near the big waves.
+
+One day, Tom saw a shiny thing in the water. He wanted to see what it was. He ran into the water and swam towards it. Lily saw him and shouted, "Tom, come back! It's too deep!"
+
+But Tom did not listen. He wanted to touch the shiny thing. He got closer and closer. He reached out his hand. But the shiny thing was not a toy. It was a shark. The shark saw Tom and opened its mouth. It bit Tom's arm. Tom screamed. He felt a lot of pain. He tried to swim back, but he could not. He struggled. He was scared.
+
+Lily heard Tom scream. She was scared too. She ran to get help. She saw their mom and a lifeguard. She cried, "Mom, mom, help! Tom is in the water! There is a shark!"
+
+Mom and the lifeguard ran to the water. They saw Tom and the shark. They tried to save him. They threw a rope and a float. They shouted, "Tom, grab the rope! Grab the float!"
+
+But it was too late. The shark bit Tom again. It dragged him under the water. Tom stopped screaming. He stopped struggling. He was gone.
+
+Mom and Lily cried. They hugged each other. They were sad. They wished Tom had listened. They wished Tom had stayed on the beach. They wished Tom had been tidy.

+They asked their mom if they could have the pumpkin. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful. The pumpkin was heavy and they had to share it.
+
+Tom and Sue tried to lift the pumpkin together, but it was hard. They started to argue and pull the pumpkin. They did not listen to mom. They did not share.
+
+They pulled and pulled until the pumpkin broke in half. The seeds and the pulp spilled on the ground. Tom and Sue were sad and angry. They blamed each other for the mess.

+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with clay. They made animals, flowers and houses with clay. They had fun with clay.
+
+One day, Lily and Sam found a big box of clay in the park. They were very happy. They wanted to take the clay home and play with it. But the box was too heavy for them.
+
+"Let's ask Dad to help us," Lily said.
+
+"OK, but we have to promise to share the clay," Sam said.
+
+"Yes, we promise. We are best friends," Lily said.
+
+They ran to find Lily's dad. He was sitting on a bench, reading a book. He was very wise. He knew many things.
+
+"Dad, dad, look what we found!" Lily said, pointing to the box of clay.
+
+"Wow, that's a lot of clay. Where did you find it?" he asked.
+
+"In the park, near the slide. Can you help us take it home?" Sam asked.
+
+"Sure, I can help you. But first, you have to tell me something. Do you know who left the box of clay in the park?" he asked.
+
+Lily and Sam shook their heads. They did not know.
+
+"Maybe someone forgot it. Or maybe someone wanted to give it away. Or maybe someone wanted to share it with other children. What do you think?" he asked.
+
+Lily and Sam thought for a moment. They looked at each other.
+
+"We think someone wanted to share it with other children. Because clay is fun. And sharing is nice," Lily said.
+
+"That's a very good answer. And a very kind thought. I'm proud of you. But if you take the clay home, you won't be sharing it with other children. Do you still want to take it home?" he asked.
+
+Lily and Sam looked at the box of clay. They wanted to play with it. But they also wanted to be kind. They remembered their promise.
+
+"No, we don't want to take it home. We want to leave it in the park. Maybe other children will find it and play with it. And maybe they will make new friends. Like us," Sam said.
+
+"That's a very wise decision. And a very generous one. I'm proud of you too. Come on, let's put the box of clay back where you found it. And then we can go home and make some cookies. How does that sound?" he asked.
+
+Lily and Sam smiled. They liked cookies. And they liked their dad. And they liked each other.
+
+They hugged their dad and said, "Thank you, dad. You are the best."
+
+They put the box of clay back in the park. And then they went home and made some cookies. And they were happy.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a big dog with a long tail and a fierce face. The dog was not on a rope and it ran around the park. Tim and Kim wanted to pet the dog, but they were afraid.
+
+"Let's go and say hello to the dog," Tim said. "Maybe it is nice and wants to be our friend."
+
+"No, Tim, we should not," Kim said. "The dog might bite us or bark at us. We should stay away from it."
+
+But Tim did not listen to Kim. He ran towards the dog and tried to touch its head. The dog did not like that. It growled and showed its teeth. It jumped on Tim and knocked him down. Tim cried out loud and felt pain.
+
+Kim ran to help Tim. She shouted at the dog and threw a stick at it. The dog was scared and ran away. Kim hugged Tim and checked his head. He had a small cut and some blood. Kim took Tim to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She cleaned his wound and put a band-aid on it.
+
+"Tim, you should have listened to Kim," mom said. "She was right. You should not go near strange dogs. They might be fierce and hurt you. You should always be careful and ask before you pet a dog."
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Tim said. "I was wrong. I wanted to be brave and make a new friend, but I was foolish and reckless. I learned my lesson. I will listen to Kim and be more cautious next time."
+
+"That's good, Tim," mom said. "I'm glad you are okay. And I'm proud of Kim for being smart and brave and helping you. You are both very good children. I love you both."
+
+Mom kissed Tim and Kim and hugged them. They smiled and said they loved her too. They learned that being fierce is not always good, and being careful is not always bad. They also learned to listen to each other and help each other. They were happy and grateful.
+Anna likes to dress up as a teacher. She has a desk in her room, with books and pencils and a big clock. She puts on a skirt and a shirt and a hat, and she pretends to teach her toys.
+
+She has a bear, a doll, a car and a ball. She gives them names and asks them questions. She says, "Bear, what time is it?" and she looks at the clock. She says, "Doll, what is this?" and she shows her a pencil. She says, "Car, how do you spell cat?" and she writes on a paper. She says, "Ball, what color are you?" and she holds it up.
+
+She is very alert and happy. She likes to play and learn. She thinks she is a good teacher. She smiles and claps her hands.
+
+But then she hears a noise. It is her mom, calling her for lunch. She says, "Anna, time to eat!" Anna says, "Okay, mom!" She tells her toys, "Class is over. See you later!"

She loves to dress up as a teacher.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress, and a flexible body. Lily could bend Anna's arms and legs and make her do funny poses.
+
+One day, Lily's brother Max came into her room. Max was a pirate. He had a hat, a sword, and a patch over one eye. He liked to spoil Lily's games. He saw Anna on the bed and grabbed her.
+
+"Arrr, this is my treasure now!" he said. He swung Anna around and threw her on the floor.
+
+"Stop it, Max! You are spoiling my game!" Lily cried. She ran to pick up Anna, but Max was faster. He stepped on Anna's leg and broke it.
+
+"Oops, sorry, sis. Looks like your doll is not so flexible anymore," he said. He laughed and ran away.
+
+Lily was very sad. She hugged Anna and tried to fix her leg, but it was no use. She wished Max was not a pirate. She wished he was a nice brother who played with her, not spoiled her games. She decided to tell Mom what Max did. Maybe Mom could help Anna. Maybe Mom could make Max say sorry. Maybe Mom could make Max stop being a pirate.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys in their room. They have dolls, cars, balls, books, and more.
+
+One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a puppet. The puppet has a funny face, a long nose, and a red hat. It also has a string on its back. Tom and Mia want to play with the puppet.
+
+"Let me have it!" Tom says. He pulls the puppet from Mia's hand.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Mia says. She pulls the puppet back.
+
+They pull and pull. The puppet is not happy. It makes a sad sound.
+
+"Stop it!" the puppet says. "You are hurting me!"
+
+Tom and Mia are surprised. They look at the puppet. The puppet looks at them.
+
+"Please, don't pull me," the puppet says. "My string is not strong. It can split."
+
+Tom and Mia feel sorry. They let go of the puppet.
+
+"We are sorry, puppet," Tom says.
+
+"We didn't know you can talk," Mia says.
+
+The puppet smiles. "It's okay. I can talk when you pull my string. But don't pull too hard. My string is made of thread. Thread can break."
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They ask the puppet if they can play with him.
+
+"Sure," the puppet says. "But be gentle. And share. Sharing is good."
+
+Tom and Mia agree. They take turns to pull the puppet's string and listen to his stories. They laugh and have fun. The puppet is happy. He has new friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing soccer in the park. They both liked soccer very much and wanted to win. Lily was on the red team and Ben was on the blue team. The score was two to two and there was only one minute left.
+
+Lily saw the ball near the blue goal and ran to kick it. She was nervous because Ben was very fast and good at soccer. She hoped he would not stop her. She kicked the ball hard and it flew towards the goal.
+
+But Ben was there and he jumped to catch the ball. He was nervous too because he wanted to score for his team. He reached out his hands and touched the ball. But the ball was too strong and it slipped from his fingers. It went into the goal and the red team cheered.
+
+Lily was so happy that she scored. She ran to hug her teammates and celebrate. She looked at Ben and saw that he was sad. He dropped the ball and walked away. He felt like he let his team down.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Ben. She remembered that he was her friend and that soccer was just a game. She ran after him and said, "Ben, don't be sad. You played very well and you almost caught the ball. It was a surprise that I scored. You are still my friend and I like you."
+
+Ben looked at Lily and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and you played very well too. You are still my friend and I like you too. It was a fun game and we both did our best. Maybe next time we can be on the same team."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged and walked back to their parents. They learned that winning and losing are not as important as being good friends and having fun. They also learned that sometimes surprises can happen and that they should not give up or be angry. They were happy and proud of themselves.
+Lily and Ben were going to visit their grandma in the big building. They had to take the elevator to go up. Lily liked the elevator. It had buttons and lights and made a ding sound. Ben was scared of the elevator. He thought it was too fast and loud.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it's fun!" Lily said. She pushed the button with the number six. That was where grandma lived.
+
+"No, Lily, it's scary!" Ben said. He held on to mom's hand. He did not want to let go.
+
+The elevator door opened and they got in. Lily stretched her arm to reach another button. She wanted to see what it did.
+
+"Don't touch that, Lily!" mom said. "That's the emergency button. It will make the elevator stop and the alarm go off."
+
+But it was too late. Lily had already pushed the button. The elevator stopped and a loud beep beep beep sound filled the air.
+
+Lily and Ben both covered their ears. They did not like the noise. Mom pressed the button again, hoping to make it stop. She looked at the screen. It said "Help is on the way".
+
+Mom tried to calm Lily and Ben down. She told them a story about a brave mouse who went on an adventure. She gave them some crackers and water from her bag. She said they would be out soon.
+
+After a while, they heard a knock on the elevator door. It was the people who came to help. They opened the door and let them out. Lily and Ben were happy to see them. They said thank you and sorry.
+
+They walked to grandma's door and knocked. Grandma opened it and smiled. She hugged them and invited them in. She had made some soup and cookies for them. She said they were spicy and yummy.
+
+Lily and Ben forgot about the elevator. They enjoyed the soup and cookies. They told grandma about their mouse story. They had a good time. They learned not to push the emergency button again.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big butterfly with many colors. They wanted to catch it.
+
+"Look, Ben, a butterfly!" Anna said. "Let's follow it!"
+
+They ran after the butterfly. It flew over the fence and into the woods. Anna and Ben did not stop. They wanted to see where it went. They wandered into the woods. They did not see the butterfly anymore. They saw many trees and birds and squirrels.
+
+"Where are we, Anna?" Ben asked. He was scared. He did not know the way back.
+
+"I don't know, Ben," Anna said. She was scared too. She wished they had not followed the butterfly. She wished they had stayed in the garden.
+
+They walked around the woods. They hoped to find the fence or the garden. They did not find them. They found a small house. It was made of candy and cake. It smelled delicious.
+
+"Wow, look, Ben, a candy house!" Anna said. She was hungry. She wanted to eat some candy.
+
+"Me too, Anna, me too!" Ben said. He was hungry too. He wanted to eat some cake.
+
+They ran to the candy house. They broke off some pieces and ate them. They were sweet and yummy. They did not see the old woman who lived in the house. She was watching them from the window. She had a big pot and a big spoon. She had a pin in her hair. She was not nice. She wanted to cook Anna and Ben.
+
+She opened the door and smiled. She said, "Hello, children, do you like my candy house? Come inside, I have more for you."
+
+Anna and Ben did not know she was bad. They thought she was nice. They followed her inside. They did not see the pot and the spoon. They did not see the pin in her hair. They were in trouble.
+Tom and Sam liked to play in the garage. They found many things to look at and touch. Sometimes they found sacks with old clothes or toys. They liked to open the sacks and see what was inside.
+
+One day, they found a big sack in the corner of the garage. It was heavy and hard to move. They pulled and pushed until they made a hole in the sack. They saw something shiny and round inside. They wanted to take it out and play with it.
+
+But they did not know that the shiny and round thing was dangerous. It was a bomb that someone had hidden in the garage. It had a timer that was counting down to zero. When the timer reached zero, the bomb would explode and make a loud noise and a big fire.
+
+Tom and Sam did not see the timer. They only saw the shiny and round thing. They reached their hands into the hole and tried to grab it. They did not hear their mom calling them from the house. She had seen the news on TV and learned that there was a bomb in their garage. She was scared and wanted to get them out of there.
+
+But it was too late. The timer reached zero and the bomb exploded. The garage was gone. Tom and Sam were gone. Their mom was sad and cried. The bomb was very dangerous. It hurt Tom and Sam and their mom. It was a bad thing to find in the garage.
+Lisa liked to sing and dance. She wanted to be on the stage, like the big kids. She asked her mom if she could join the show.
+
+"Maybe next year, honey. You are too little for the stage now. You can watch and clap for the big kids, okay?" Mom said.
+
+Lisa was sad. She wanted to be on the stage now. She saw a big box near the stage. It had a sign that said "Do not touch". Lisa was curious. She climbed on the box and peeked inside. She saw a lot of shiny things. They were lights and wires and buttons. Lisa wanted to play with them.
+
+She reached for a button and pushed it. The lights on the stage went off. She pushed another button. The music stopped. She pushed another button. The curtain fell down. She heard a loud noise. The box broke. Lisa fell off the box and landed on the stage.
+
+The big kids and the teachers were angry. They saw Lisa on the stage. They shouted at her.
+
+"What are you doing here? You broke the show! Go away!" They said.
+
+Lisa was scared. She started to cry. She wanted her mom.
+
+Mom heard Lisa cry. She ran to the stage. She hugged Lisa and said, "It's okay, honey. I'm here. You didn't mean to break the show. You were just curious. But you have to be careful. You can't touch things that are not yours. They can be dangerous. Do you understand?"
+
+Lisa nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, big kids. I just wanted to be on the stage."
+
+Mom said, "I know, honey. But you have to wait until you are bigger. Then you can be on the stage and sing and dance. For now, you can be a cheerful audience. You can watch and clap and cheer for the big kids. Can you do that?"
+
+Lisa nodded. She said, "Yes, mom. I can do that."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Good. Now let's go back to our seats. The show will start again soon. And don't worry. The teachers will fix the box and the lights and the music and the curtain. Everything will be okay."
+
+Lisa smiled. She said, "Okay, mom. Thank you, mom. I love you, mom."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, honey. Come on, let's go."
+
+They walked back to their seats. Lisa watched the show. She clapped and cheered for the big kids. She was a cheerful audience. She was happy.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a wand in their room. It was shiny and had a star on the end. Tom picked it up and said, "I think this is a magic wand. I want to try it."
+
+He waved the wand and said, "Magic wand, make me a big cake." Nothing happened. He waved it again and said, "Magic wand, make me a bike." Still nothing happened. He got angry and said, "This wand is broken. It does not work."
+
+Lily said, "Maybe you are not saying the right words. Maybe you have to say please and thank you. And maybe you have to share with me. You are being selfish, Tom. You only want things for yourself."
+
+Tom said, "No, I don't. I just want to have fun. You can have the wand. It is useless." He threw the wand on the floor and walked away.
+
+Lily picked up the wand and said, "Magic wand, please make me a doll. Thank you." To her surprise, a doll appeared on her bed. She smiled and hugged the doll. She said, "Wow, the wand does work. It is magic. But it only works for nice people who are not selfish."
+
+She looked for Tom and said, "Tom, come here. Look what I have. The wand made me a doll. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tom came back and saw the doll. He felt sorry for being selfish. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I was selfish. Can I play with you and the doll?"
+
+Lily said, "Of course, Tom. You are my brother. I love you. Here, you can hold the wand. But remember, you have to say please and thank you. And you have to share with me. Then the wand will work for you too."
+
+Tom said, "Thank you, Lily. I love you too. Please, magic wand, make us a ball. Thank you." A ball appeared on the floor. They laughed and played with the ball and the doll. They were happy and learned to be nice and share. The wand was magic and worked for them.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+"Look at our snowman, he is so big and white!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, he is the best snowman ever!" Ben said.
+
+But then, a strong wind came. It blew the hat and the scarf off the snowman. It blew the carrot nose and the rocks away. The snowman was not happy.
+
+"Help, help!" the snowman said. "The wind is taking my things!"
+
+Lily and Ben heard the snowman. They ran to him. They tried to catch his things. But the wind was too fast. They could not catch them.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to help the snowman. But they did not know how.
+
+Then, they saw a big pine tree. It had many green needles and brown cones. They had an idea.
+
+They picked some needles and cones. They ran back to the snowman. They gave him new eyes and a new nose. They made him a new hat and a new scarf with the needles. They gave him a big smile.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" the snowman said. "You are very kind and clever. You made me happy again!"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They hugged the snowman. They were happy too.
+
+The wind saw what they did. It felt sorry. It stopped blowing. It said sorry to the snowman.
+
+"I'm sorry, snowman. I did not mean to hurt you. I was just playing. You are very nice and white. I like you."
+
+The snowman forgave the wind. He said thank you to the wind.
+
+They all became friends. They played in the snow. They had fun.
+
+The end.

+Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Ben and Lily wanted to feed the ducks. Mom gave them some bread from her bag.
+
+"Be careful, don't go too close to the water," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked. They ate the bread and splashed in the pond. Ben and Lily laughed and clapped.
+
+Ben saw a shiny coin in his pocket. He wanted to make a wish. He threw the coin into the pond and said, "I wish for a big ice cream."
+
+Lily saw Ben throw the coin. She wanted to make a wish too. She looked in her pocket. She found a lemon candy. She threw the candy into the pond and said, "I wish for a new doll."
+
+The fish saw the coin and the candy. They swam to them and tried to eat them. The coin was hard and the candy was sour. The fish spit them out and made funny faces.
+
+Ben and Lily saw the fish and giggled. They did not know why the fish did not like the coin and the candy.
+
+Mom saw Ben and Lily having fun. She smiled and said, "Come on, let's go get some ice cream and a doll. You don't need to wish for them. I have a surprise for you."
+
+Ben and Lily were happy. They hugged Mom and ran to the car. They thanked the ducks and the fish for the show. They did not know that their wishes came true.
+Sara was a curious girl who liked to explore the kitchen. She saw many things that made her wonder, like the big oven, the shiny pots and the colorful fruits. One day, she decided to peek inside the oven, even though her mom had warned her not to.
+
+"Oven, what are you hiding?" she asked, as she opened the door. She felt a blast of hot air that made her blink. She saw a big cake with white frosting and sprinkles. It looked yummy and smelled sweet. She reached out her hand to touch it.
+
+"Sara, no!" her mom shouted, as she ran into the kitchen. She grabbed Sara's hand and pulled it away from the oven. "The oven is very hot, and the cake is not ready. You could burn yourself and ruin the cake. I warned you not to go near the oven, remember?"
+
+Sara felt scared and sorry. She had not listened to her mom, and she had almost hurt herself and the cake. She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was curious. I wanted to see the cake. It looks so good."
+
+Her mom smiled and kissed her cheek. "I know, honey. I'm glad you're okay. The cake is for your birthday, and I want you to enjoy it. But you have to wait until it's done and cool. And you have to be careful in the kitchen. There are many things that can be dangerous. Can you promise me that?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "I promise, mom. I will be careful and listen to you. Can I help you with the cake later?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, sweetie. You can help me decorate it with more sprinkles. But first, let's wash your hands and have a snack. How about some apple slices and cheese?"
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Yes, please. I love apple slices and cheese. And I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I love you too, Sara. You're my curious and brave girl."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the woods. They find a cabin in the woods. The cabin is old and has a door and a window.
+
+"Can we go inside?" Mia asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is not safe," Tom says.
+
+"Let's test it. You push the door and I look at the window," Mia says.
+
+"OK," Tom says. He pushes the door with his hands. The door is hard and does not move. He pushes harder. The door makes a loud noise and falls down.
+
+"Wow!" Mia says. She looks at the window. The window is dirty and has a crack. She sees a spider web and a mouse inside the cabin.
+
+"Look, Tom! There are animals in the cabin!" Mia says.
+
+"Really? Let me see!" Tom says. He runs to the window and looks inside. He sees the spider web and the mouse. He also sees a big bear sleeping on a bed. The bear has thick fur and a big nose.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Tom says. "There is a bear in the cabin!"
+
+"A bear?" Mia says. "Where?"
+
+"Shh! Don't make noise! The bear might wake up!" Tom says.
+
+They are scared. They run away from the cabin. They go back to their homes. They tell their moms and dads about the cabin and the bear. They are glad they are safe. They decide not to play in the woods anymore. They play in the park instead.
+Sara and Ben were very hungry. They wanted to eat some turkey for lunch. Mom said she had a big turkey in the oven. Sara and Ben ran to the kitchen to see.
+
+But when they opened the oven, they saw something strange. The turkey was not brown and juicy. It was purple and slimy. It had spots and bumps all over it. It did not look like a turkey at all.
+
+Sara and Ben screamed. Mom came to the kitchen and saw the purple thing. She was very surprised. She said, "Oh no, this is not a turkey. This is a monster!"
+
+Sara and Ben were scared. They hid behind Mom. Mom said, "Don't worry, kids. This is not a real monster. It is a toy. Dad played a trick on us. He put the toy in the oven and took the turkey out. He wanted to make us laugh."
+
+Sara and Ben looked at the toy. It did seem funny. They laughed with Mom. Dad came to the kitchen and smiled. He said, "Sorry, I was just joking. Here is the real turkey. It is hot and tasty. Let's eat!"
+
+Sara and Ben were happy. They forgave Dad. They ate the turkey and had a good lunch. They liked Dad's jokes, but they liked turkey more.
+Lily liked to play with her toys in the yard. She had many toys, but her favorite was a red truck. She liked to make the truck go fast and make loud noises. She was an independent girl who did not need help from anyone.
+
+One day, she saw a big truck on the street. It was yellow and shiny and had a long trailer. Lily wanted to see the truck up close. She ran to the fence and waved at the driver. The driver saw her and smiled. He stopped the truck and got out.
+
+"Hello, little girl. Do you like trucks?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, I love trucks. They are fun and strong. Can I see your truck?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, you can see my truck. But you have to ask your mom or dad first. Trucks can be dangerous for kids. You have to be careful and follow the rules," the driver said.
+
+Lily nodded and ran to the house. She found her mom and asked her if she could see the truck. Her mom said yes, but she had to hold her hand and listen to the driver. Lily agreed and ran back to the fence. She held her mom's hand and walked to the truck.
+
+The driver showed her the truck and let her sit in the cab. He told her what the buttons and levers did. He also gave her a sticker with his company name on it. Lily was very happy and thanked the driver.
+
+"You're welcome, little girl. You are very polite and curious. I'm glad you like trucks. Maybe one day you can be a truck driver too," the driver said.
+
+"Maybe. But I also like to be independent. I like to play with my own truck and make my own noises," Lily said.
+
+The driver laughed and said goodbye. He got back in his truck and drove away. Lily waved at him and ran to her yard. She played with her red truck and made loud noises. She was an independent girl who loved trucks.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with many colors and pictures. The truck had a sign that said "Candy". Lily and Ben liked candy very much.
+
+"Look, Ben, candy!" Lily said. "Can we have some?"
+
+Ben nodded. He took Lily's hand and they ran to the truck. The truck had a window and a man inside. The man smiled and said, "Hello, kids. Do you want some candy?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+The man gave them each a paper bag with candy inside. He said, "Here you go. Enjoy your candy. But be careful, don't eat too much at once."
+
+"Thank you, mister!" Lily and Ben said. They opened their bags and saw many kinds of candy. There were chocolates, gummies, lollipops, and more.
+
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They sat on a bench and ate some candy. They shared their candy with each other. They said, "Mmm, this is yummy!"
+
+But then, Lily felt something in her eye. It was a fly. The fly buzzed and tickled her eye. Lily tried to get rid of the fly. She blinked and blinked, but the fly did not go away.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily said. "There is a fly in my eye. It hurts!"
+
+Ben saw that Lily was in trouble. He wanted to help her. He was a helpful brother. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will help you."
+
+Ben took a napkin from his bag. He gently wiped Lily's eye with the napkin. He said, "Close your eye, Lily. I will get the fly out."
+
+Lily closed her eye. Ben wiped and wiped, until the fly flew away. Lily opened her eye. She felt better. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a helpful brother. You saved my eye."
+
+Ben smiled and hugged Lily. He said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a good sister. You shared your candy with me."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged and kissed. They were happy. They ate some more candy. They said, "We love candy. And we love each other."
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big lemon tree. They want to try the lemons.
+
+"Can we have some lemons, mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. They are very sour," mom says.
+
+Tom and Sam pick some lemons and peel them. They take a big bite. They make a funny face.
+
+"Yuck! These lemons are sour!" Sam says.
+
+"They hurt my mouth!" Tom says.
+
+They spit out the lemons and throw them away. They run to the water fountain and drink some water. They feel better.
+
+"Let's go play on the swings," Tom says.
+
+"OK," Sam says.
+
+They run to the swings and take turns pushing each other. They have fun. They forget about the lemons.
+
+But the lemons do not forget about them. The lemons are angry. They do not like to be bitten and thrown away. They want to make Tom and Sam pay.
+
+They roll down from the tree and follow Tom and Sam. They wait for the right moment. They see Tom and Sam get tired and lie down on the grass. They want to take a nap.
+
+The lemons sneak up to them. They squeeze their juice on their faces. They make them wet and sticky and sour.
+
+Tom and Sam wake up. They scream. They feel the lemon juice in their eyes and nose and mouth. They cry.
+
+"Mom! Help!" Tom says.
+
+"Mom! Help!" Sam says.
+
+Their moms hear them and run to them. They see the lemons and the juice. They are shocked.
+
+"Who did this to you?" mom asks.
+
+"The lemons! The lemons did this!" Tom says.
+
+"The lemons! The lemons did this!" Sam says.
+
+Their moms do not believe them. They think they are lying. They are angry.
+
+"You should not lie, Tom. You should not lie, Sam. You must have played a prank on each other. That is not nice. You are in trouble," mom says.
+
+They take Tom and Sam home. They wash their faces and give them some medicine. They make them go to bed. They do not let them play with each other. They do not let them go to the park. They do not let them have any treats.
+
+Tom and Sam are sad. They are sorry. They wish they never tried the lemons. They wish they never made the lemons angry. They wish they never lied. They wish they had a good ending. But they do not. They have a bad ending. The end.
+Sara and her mom went to the grocery to buy some food. Sara liked to go to the grocery because she could see many things. She saw fruits, vegetables, bread, milk, eggs, and more. She also saw many people who worked at the grocery. They wore aprons and name tags.
+
+One of the people who worked at the grocery was very tall. He was taller than Sara's mom and dad. He had a big smile and a deep voice. He helped people find what they needed. Sara was curious about him. She wanted to meet him.
+
+She walked up to him and said, "Hello, I am Sara. You are very tall. What is your name?"
+
+The tall man looked down at Sara and smiled. He said, "Hello, Sara. I am Ben. I work at the grocery. I am glad to meet you. You are very brave to talk to me."
+
+Sara smiled back. She said, "Thank you, Ben. I like to talk to new people. You are very nice. Can I ask you a question?"
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "Sure, Sara. What do you want to ask me?"
+
+Sara said, "How do you reach the things on the top shelf? They are very high. Do you use a ladder?"
+
+Ben laughed. He said, "No, Sara. I don't use a ladder. I use my long arms. See?" He stretched his arms and reached for a box of cereal on the top shelf. He brought it down and showed it to Sara.
+
+Sara gasped. She said, "Wow, Ben. You have very long arms. That is amazing. Can I try?"
+
+Ben said, "Of course, Sara. Here, you can hold the box of cereal. But be careful, it might be heavy."
+
+Sara took the box of cereal from Ben. She held it with both hands. She felt proud. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. I like you. Can we be friends?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, Sara. We can be friends. You are very sweet. I like you too. Come on, let's go find your mom. She might be looking for you."
+
+Sara and Ben walked together to find Sara's mom. Sara's mom was happy to see them. She said, "Hello, Ben. I see you met Sara. She is my daughter. She likes to make new friends."
+
+Ben said, "Hello, ma'am. I met Sara. She is your daughter. She likes to ask questions. She is very smart."
+
+Sara's mom said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very polite. You are very helpful. We appreciate your service."
+
+Ben said, "You are welcome, ma'am. You are very nice. You are very welcome. Have a good day."
+
+Sara's mom said, "You too, Ben. Have a good day."
+
+Sara and Ben hugged. They said, "Bye, friend. See you soon."
+
+Sara and her mom left the grocery. Sara was happy. She had met a new friend. He was very tall. He had very long arms. He was very nice. She liked him very much. She hoped to see him again.
+Tom and Lisa were friends who liked to play together. They liked to pretend they were married and had a big house and a dog. One day, they found a big box in the park and decided to make it their house. They drew windows and a door on the box and put some pillows and toys inside.
+
+"Look, this is our house!" Lisa said. "We can live here and be happy."
+
+"Yes, and this is our dog!" Tom said, holding a stuffed animal. "He will protect us from bad people."
+
+They crawled inside the box and closed the door. They hugged and kissed and talked about their dreams. They did not see the big truck that was coming to take away the trash.
+
+The truck driver was careless. He did not look around before he lifted the box with his crane. He did not hear Tom and Lisa scream inside the box. He threw the box into the back of the truck and drove away.
+
+Tom and Lisa were very scared. They tried to get out of the box, but it was too dark and too tight. They cried and called for help, but no one heard them. They held each other and hoped someone would find them. But no one did. The truck took them to a big place where they burned the trash. The box caught fire and Tom and Lisa burned too. They died and their dreams died with them.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys in the kitchen. They had many cars, dolls, blocks and animals. Sometimes they pretended to cook and eat with their toys. They used the pots, pans, spoons and plates from the cupboard.
+
+One day, they had a new idea. They wanted to test the dishwasher. They thought it was a big machine that made things clean and shiny. They wondered what would happen if they put their toys inside. They were very creative and curious.
+
+They opened the dishwasher and filled it with their toys. They put cars on the top rack, dolls on the bottom rack, blocks in the cutlery basket and animals in the door. They closed the dishwasher and pushed the button. They heard the water and the noise.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Ben said.
+
+"Maybe our toys will be cleaner and happier!" Lily said.
+
+They waited for the dishwasher to finish. They opened the door and looked inside. They saw their toys wet and soapy. Some of them were broken or melted. The cars had no wheels, the dolls had no hair, the blocks had no shapes and the animals had no eyes.
+
+"Oh no, what did we do?" Ben said.
+
+"This is not fun, this is bad!" Lily said.
+
+They heard their mom coming. They were scared and sorry. They took out their toys and tried to hide them. They hoped their mom would not be angry. They learned a lesson. They should not test the dishwasher with their toys. They should ask their mom before they use something. They should be careful and respectful.
+Lily and Ben were going to the zoo with their mom. They were very excited to see the animals. They waited for a taxi to take them there. They saw many taxis on the road, but they were all full or busy.
+
+"Can we count the taxis, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, that's a good idea. Let's see how many taxis we can find," mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben started to count the taxis out loud. "One, two, three, four, five..."
+
+They counted until they reached twenty, but they still did not find a taxi for them.
+
+"I'm tired of counting, mom. When will we get a taxi?" Ben complained.
+
+"Me too, mom. I'm hungry and thirsty. And it's very hot here," Lily added.
+
+Mom tried to calm them down. "I know, my loves. I'm sorry we have to wait so long. But we have to be patient and polite. Sometimes things don't go as we want, but we have to make the best of it. Maybe we can play a different game while we wait. How about we name the animals we want to see at the zoo?"
+
+Lily and Ben liked that idea. They started to name the animals they wanted to see. "I want to see the lion, the elephant, the giraffe, the monkey..." Lily said.
+
+"I want to see the tiger, the bear, the penguin, the snake..." Ben said.
+
+They took turns naming the animals, and they forgot about their discomfort. They also smiled and waved at the other people who were waiting for taxis. They made some new friends who also wanted to go to the zoo.
+
+Soon, a big yellow taxi stopped in front of them. The driver smiled and said, "Hello, are you going to the zoo? I have room for you and your mom. Hop in!"
+
+Lily, Ben, and mom thanked the driver and got into the taxi. They were very happy to finally go to the zoo. They learned that counting and naming animals can be fun, but being patient and polite can be even better.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big wall at the end of the garden. They wondered what was behind it.
+
+"Let's go and see!" said Ben. He was brave and curious.
+
+"No, no, no!" said Lily. She was fearful and shy. "We don't know what is there. It could be scary or dangerous. We should stay here."
+
+Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran to the wall and climbed on it. He looked over the wall and saw a big dog. The dog was barking and growling. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes.
+
+"Help, help!" shouted Ben. He was scared and sorry. He wanted to get down from the wall, but the dog was waiting for him.
+
+Lily heard Ben's cry. She was worried and sad. She wanted to help him, but she did not know how. She ran to the house and found their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, please help!" she said. She was crying and shaking. "Ben is on the wall and there is a big dog and he is barking and Ben is scared and I am scared and please help!"
+
+Mom heard Lily's request. She was calm and strong. She took Lily's hand and ran to the wall. She saw Ben and the dog. She shouted at the dog and threw a stick. The dog ran after the stick and left Ben alone.
+
+Mom helped Ben down from the wall. She hugged him and Lily. She was happy and proud.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked. She was gentle and kind.
+
+"Yes, mom, I am okay," said Ben. He was relieved and ashamed. "I am sorry, mom. I was silly and foolish. I should have listened to Lily. She was right. The wall was scary and dangerous. I will not do it again."
+
+Mom smiled and kissed Ben and Lily. She was loving and wise.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. You made a mistake, but you learned from it. I am glad you are safe. And I am glad you have Lily. She is a good sister. She was brave and smart. She came to me and asked for help. That was the best thing to do."
+
+Ben and Lily hugged mom and each other. They were grateful and happy. They learned a lesson and they loved their mom and their sister and their brother. They did not want to go to the wall anymore. They wanted to play in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh.
+Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play at the park. One day, they went to the park with their moms. There were many things to play with at the park.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a swing!" Sam said. "Do you want to swing with me?"
+
+"Yes, Sam, I like swings!" Lily said. "Let's go!"
+
+They ran to the swing. But there was only one swing. Lily and Sam both wanted to swing.
+
+"Who will swing first?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know," Sam said. "How can we choose?"
+
+They thought for a moment. Then Sam had an idea.
+
+"Let's play rock, paper, scissors!" Sam said. "The winner can swing first. The loser can push the swing. Then we can switch. OK?"
+
+"OK!" Lily said. "That sounds fair. Let's play!"
+
+They played rock, paper, scissors. Sam chose rock. Lily chose paper. Paper covers rock. Lily won.
+
+"Yay, I won!" Lily said. "I can swing first!"
+
+"Good job, Lily!" Sam said. "I will push you. Then you can push me."
+
+Lily sat on the swing. Sam pushed her. Lily felt the wind in her hair. She felt happy. She smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Sam!" Lily said. "This is fun!"
+
+"You're welcome, Lily!" Sam said. "You're a good friend!"
+
+They took turns swinging and pushing. They had a lot of fun. They were glad they played together. They were glad they shared the swing. They were glad they were friends.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noise with their cars, dolls and blocks. Anna liked to make her doll talk and Ben liked to make his car zoom.
+
+"Look, Anna, my car is very fast!" Ben said, making his car go around the sofa.
+
+"Wow, Ben, your car is very fast!" Anna said, making her doll clap. "But my doll is very pretty!"
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It sounded like something fell and broke. They stopped playing and looked at each other.
+
+"What was that noise?" Anna asked, feeling scared.
+
+"I don't know, Anna. Maybe it was Mommy or Daddy," Ben said, feeling curious.
+
+They decided to go and see what happened. They left their toys on the floor and walked to the kitchen. But when they got there, they saw no one. The kitchen was empty. They only saw a brown mess on the floor. It looked like chocolate cake.
+
+"Where is Mommy? Where is Daddy?" Anna asked, feeling confused.
+
+"Maybe they disappeared," Ben said, feeling surprised.
+
+"Disappeared? Where did they go?" Anna asked, feeling sad.
+
+"I don't know, Anna. Maybe they went to the store. Or maybe they went to the park. Or maybe they went to the moon," Ben said, feeling silly.
+
+"Ben, that's not true. They can't go to the moon. They can't disappear like that," Anna said, feeling angry.
+
+"Then where are they, Anna?" Ben asked, feeling puzzled.
+
+They looked around the kitchen, hoping to find a clue. They saw a note on the table. It had some words on it, but they could not read them. They only saw a picture of a smiley face and a heart.
+
+"Maybe this is a clue, Ben. Maybe this is from Mommy and Daddy," Anna said, feeling hopeful.
+
+"Maybe, Anna. Maybe they are hiding somewhere. Maybe they want to surprise us," Ben said, feeling excited.
+
+They decided to look for them. They left the kitchen and searched the whole house. They looked in the bedroom, in the bathroom, in the closet, in the garage. But they could not find them. They only found more toys, more clothes, more books, more stuff.
+
+"Where are they, Ben? Where are they?" Anna asked, feeling tired.
+
+"I don't know, Anna. I don't know," Ben said, feeling sad.
+
+They went back to the living room and sat on the floor. They hugged their toys and waited. They hoped that Mommy and Daddy would come back soon. They hoped that they would not disappear again. They hoped that they would explain the noise and the brown mess. They hoped that they would say they love them.
+
+They did not know that Mommy and Daddy were hiding behind the sofa. They did not know that they made the noise and the brown mess on purpose. They did not know that they wanted to play a prank on them. They did not know that they were about to jump out and say "Surprise!" They did not know that they were about to laugh and hug them. They did not know that they were about to have a big slice of chocolate cake. They did not know that they were about to have a lot of fun.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big purple pick on the ground. Anna wanted to touch it, but Ben said no.
+
+"Why not?" Anna asked.
+
+"Mom said it is bad. It can hurt us," Ben explained.
+
+Anna did not listen. She thought the pick was pretty and shiny. She reached out her hand and grabbed it.
+
+"Ow!" Anna cried. The pick was sharp and cut her finger. Blood came out and it hurt a lot.
+
+Ben ran to get Mom. Mom came and saw what happened. She was angry and scared.
+
+"Anna, what did you do? I told you not to touch the pick. It is dangerous. You could get sick or worse," Mom said.
+
+She took Anna inside and cleaned her wound. She put a bandage on it and gave her some medicine. She also took away the pick and threw it in the trash.
+
+Anna was sorry and sad. She wished she had listened to Ben and Mom. She learned her lesson the hard way. She hoped her finger would heal soon and that Mom would forgive her.
+Tom and Lily were playing hide and seek in the big house. Tom was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran to the hall and looked for a good spot. She saw a big closet with old coats and hats. She opened the door and went inside. She closed the door and waited.
+
+Tom counted to ten and shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looked in the rooms and under the beds. He could not find Lily. He went to the hall and saw the closet. He heard a small noise inside. He smiled and opened the door.
+
+"Boo!" he said. Lily screamed and laughed. She came out of the closet and hugged Tom.
+
+"You found me!" she said.
+
+"Yes, I did!" he said. "You are a good hider, but I am a better seeker. Do you surrender?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I surrender. You win. But can we play again?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, we can play again. But this time, I will hide and you will seek. OK?"
+
+Lily agreed and said, "OK. But don't hide in the closet. That's my spot."
+
+Tom and Lily laughed and ran to the living room. They started a new game of hide and seek. They had a lot of fun in the big house.
+Lily and Max were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They had to pack their luggage in big bags. Lily put her toys, books and clothes in her bag. Max put his cars, balls and hat in his bag. They were very excited to see new places.
+
+They went to the airport in a car. There were many people and planes there. Mom and Dad gave their luggage to a man. He put them on a belt. The luggage went away. Lily and Max waved goodbye to their bags.
+
+They had to go through a gate. A lady asked them to stop. She had a machine that beeped. She looked at Lily and Max. She said, "Do you have anything in your pockets?" Lily said, "No, I don't." Max said, "Yes, I do." He took out a candy. He gave it to the lady. He said, "You can have it." The lady smiled. She said, "Thank you. That's very kind of you. You can go now."
+
+Lily and Max went to the plane. They found their seats. They buckled their belts. They looked out the window. They saw their luggage. It was on a cart. It was open. Lily and Max gasped. They saw their toys, books, clothes, cars, balls and hat. They were falling out. They were flying in the air. Lily and Max cried. They said, "Our luggage! Our luggage!"
+
+Mom and Dad hugged them. They said, "Don't worry. It's okay. We can buy new things. The most important thing is that we are together. We love you. We will have fun on our trip. Let's surrender our luggage and enjoy the adventure." Lily and Max nodded. They wiped their tears. They smiled. They said, "Okay. We love you too. We will have fun." They hugged Mom and Dad. They watched the plane take off. They waved goodbye to their luggage. They said, "Bye bye, luggage. Have a nice trip."
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to learn new things. Their mom is a teach. She works at a big school. She helps many kids to read and write.
+
+One day, mom brings home a big box. She says it is a surprise. Sara and Ben are curious. They open the box. Inside, they find many colorful things. There are papers, stickers, crayons, scissors, and glue.
+
+"What are these, mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"These are things to decorate. You can make beautiful pictures with them. Do you want to try?" mom says.
+
+"Yes, yes!" Sara and Ben say. They take out the things and spread them on the floor. They start to cut, stick, and draw. They have fun.
+
+Mom watches them and smiles. She says, "You are very creative, Sara and Ben. You know what? You can decorate the wall in your room with your pictures. Then, everyone who comes to visit will see them. Maybe you will become famous artists one day."
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They hug mom and say, "Thank you, mom. You are the best teach. We love you." They finish their pictures and hang them on the wall. They look at them and feel proud. They think they are famous.
+Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Lila wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it's fun!" Lila says. "You just lean back and go down."
+
+Ben shakes his head. "No, no, it's too high. I don't like it."
+
+Lila sighs. She sees a dull gray rock near the slide. She has an idea. She picks up the rock and touches it to the slide.
+
+"Look, Ben, the rock likes the slide. It slides down fast. Whee!" Lila says.
+
+Ben watches the rock go down the slide. He smiles a little. He picks up another rock and touches it to the slide. The rock slides down too.
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Ben says.
+
+Lila nods. "See, it's not scary. It's fun. Do you want to try?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He looks at the slide. He looks at Lila. He nods.
+
+"Okay, I'll try. But you go first."
+
+Lila smiles. She climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She leans back and slides down. She laughs.
+
+"Your turn, Ben!" She says.
+
+Ben climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. He feels nervous, but he remembers the rocks. He leans back and slides down. He feels the wind in his hair. He laughs too.
+
+They both run to the slide again. They slide down many times. They have fun. They are not scared anymore. They are happy.
+Lily was a gifted girl. She could sing, dance, and draw very well. She loved to show her skills to her family and friends. They always clapped and smiled for her.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big bunch of bananas at the market. She loved bananas. They were sweet and yellow and good for her. She asked her mom if she could have one. Her mom said yes and gave her a coin. Lily ran to the seller and gave him the coin. He gave her a banana and said thank you.
+
+Lily peeled the banana and took a big bite. It was delicious. She felt happy and grateful. She wanted to share her joy with someone. She looked around and saw a boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. He had no toys or snacks. Lily felt sorry for him.
+
+She walked to the boy and smiled. She offered him half of her banana. The boy looked surprised and shy. He took the banana and said thank you. He bit the banana and smiled. It was delicious. He felt happy and grateful. He wanted to share his joy with someone. He looked at Lily and said, "Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I'm Lily. What's your name?"
+
+"I'm Ben. I'm new here. I have no friends," he said.
+
+"Well, now you have one. I'm your friend. And you're mine," she said.
+
+They hugged and laughed. They ate the banana and played together. They sang, danced, and drew. They were gifted and they loved bananas. But most of all, they loved each other. They were happy.
+Tom and Anna are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they quarrel. One day, they both want to play with the same car. Tom says, "It is my car, I had it first." Anna says, "No, it is my car, I like it more." They pull and tug at the car, and make a lot of noise.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to their room. She is not happy. She says, "Stop quarreling, you two. You have many toys, you can share. Why don't you play something else?" She sees an empty box on the floor. She says, "Look, you can use this box to make a pretend house, or a boat, or a rocket. You can have fun together."
+
+Tom and Anna think that is a good idea. They say, "Sorry, Mom, we will not quarrel anymore." They put the car aside, and take the box. They decide to make a pretend massage parlor. They take some pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals. They say, "We will give massages to our customers. They will feel very relaxed and happy."
+
+They take turns to be the massage therapist and the customer. They pretend to rub, squeeze, and pat each other's back, arms, and legs. They say, "How do you feel? Do you like the massage?" They giggle and smile. They also give massages to their stuffed animals. They say, "You are very soft and cuddly. You need a massage too."
+
+Mom watches them and smiles. She is glad that they are playing nicely. She says, "You are very good at giving massages. Maybe you can give me one later." Tom and Anna say, "Yes, Mom, we will. We love you." They hug Mom and each other. They are happy.
+Sam and Mia liked to play with hoops in the park. They would roll them, spin them, and jump through them. One day, they saw a big dog with a hoop in his mouth. He was running and barking and having fun.
+
+"Can we play with him?" Mia asked Sam.
+
+"Maybe. Let's ask his owner," Sam said. They ran after the dog and saw a man sitting on a bench. He was reading a book and did not notice them.
+
+"Hello, sir. Can we play with your dog?" Sam asked politely.
+
+The man looked up and smiled. "Sure, kids. His name is Spot. He loves hoops. You can pass them to him and he will catch them."
+
+Sam and Mia were happy. They thanked the man and took turns passing hoops to Spot. Spot was very good at catching them. He would run back and drop them at their feet. They laughed and clapped and praised him.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Sam passed a hoop to Spot, but he threw it too hard. The hoop flew over Spot's head and landed on the man's book. The man was surprised and angry. He shouted at Sam and Mia.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing? You ruined my book! Get away from my dog and my hoop!"
+
+Sam and Mia were scared and embarrassed. They did not mean to hurt the man or his book. They said sorry and ran away. They left their hoops behind. They did not want to play with hoops anymore. They felt sad and ashamed.
+Lily loves her pink mittens. They are soft and warm and have little hearts on them. She wears them every day when she goes outside to play in the snow.
+
+One day, she sees a big snowman in the park. She wants to give him a hug and say hello. She runs towards him, but she does not see the ice on the ground. She slips and falls. Her pink mittens fly off her hands and land on the snowman's head.
+
+Lily gets up and tries to get her mittens back. But the snowman is too tall and too round. She cannot reach his head. She jumps and stretches and climbs, but she cannot get her mittens. She starts to cry. She wants her pink mittens.
+
+A boy sees Lily crying. He is wearing a blue hat and a green scarf. He asks her what is wrong. She tells him about her mittens. He says he can help her. He has a long stick. He uses the stick to poke the snowman's head. The pink mittens fall down. He picks them up and gives them to Lily.
+
+Lily smiles and says thank you. She puts on her pink mittens. They are still soft and warm and have little hearts on them. She hugs the boy and the snowman. She is happy. She has her pink mittens.
+Mia and Leo were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with many feathers. Mia wanted to touch the feathers. She ran to the bird and tried to pull a feather. The bird did not like that. It squawked and flew away.
+
+"Ow!" Mia said. "The feather hurt my hand. And the bird was angry."
+
+Leo came to Mia and looked at her hand. He saw a small cut. He took a tissue from his pocket and wrapped it around Mia's hand.
+
+"Here," he said. "This will make it better. You should not pull feathers from birds. They need them to fly and keep warm. And they are not toys."
+
+Mia nodded. She felt sorry for the bird. She also felt happy that Leo was her friend. He was reliable. He always helped her when she was hurt or sad.
+
+"Thank you, Leo," she said. "You are a good friend. I am sorry I pulled the feather. I will not do it again."

+Tom and Anna liked to sing. They sang all the time, at home, at school, and in the park. They sang loud and happy songs, and sometimes sad and soft songs. They wanted to be singers when they grew up.
+
+One day, they saw a poster for an opera. It was a big show with many singers and a band. They wanted to see it very much. They asked their mom and dad if they could go. Their mom and dad said yes, but they had to be good and quiet at the opera. They warned them that the opera was not like their songs. The opera was long and serious, and the singers used different words and voices. They said they had to sit still and listen, and not talk or sing along.
+
+Tom and Anna said they understood. They were very excited to go to the opera. They put on their best clothes and went with their mom and dad to the theater. They saw many people there, all dressed up and organized. They found their seats and waited for the show to start.
+
+The lights went down and the band started to play. The singers came on the stage and began to sing. Tom and Anna listened for a while, but they did not like the opera. They did not understand the words or the story. They thought the singers sounded funny and boring. They wanted to sing their own songs.
+
+They started to whisper to each other and make jokes. They giggled and hummed. Their mom and dad told them to be quiet, but they did not listen. They thought the opera was silly and they wanted to have fun.
+
+The people around them got angry. They shushed them and glared at them. They said they were rude and spoiled. They said they should not be at the opera. They said they should go home.
+
+Tom and Anna felt bad. They did not mean to be rude or spoiled. They just wanted to sing. They realized they did not listen to their mom and dad's warning. They realized they did not respect the opera or the people. They realized they made a mistake.
+
+They stopped talking and singing. They said they were sorry to their mom and dad and the people. They said they would try to be good and quiet for the rest of the show. They said they would learn more about the opera and maybe like it better next time.
+
+Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were proud of them. They said they loved them and their singing, but they also had to learn to love and appreciate other kinds of singing and music. They said they would help them do that.
+
+Tom and Anna nodded and smiled. They held their mom and dad's hands and watched the opera. They did not understand everything, but they saw some beautiful and interesting things. They heard some amazing and powerful voices. They felt some new and different emotions.
+
+They learned something new that day. They learned that the opera was not like their songs, but it was also a kind of singing and music. They learned that they could enjoy and respect different kinds of singing and music, even if they did not like them all. They learned that they could be good and quiet at the opera, and still sing loud and happy songs at home, at school, and in the park.
+Tom and Mia were excited to go to the harbor with their dad. They liked to see the big boats and the water and the birds. They wanted to climb on the rocks and play with the shells.
+
+"Look, dad, a red boat!" Mia said, pointing to a shiny boat with a flag.
+
+"That's a fire boat, Mia. It helps when there is a fire on the water," dad said.
+
+"Wow, can we go on it?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, Tom, it's only for the fire people. But we can go on that ferry over there. It takes people to the island," dad said.
+
+"Yay, let's go!" Tom and Mia said. They ran to the ferry and got in line. They gave their tickets to the man and climbed on the boat. They found a seat near the window and looked out.
+
+The boat started to move and they saw the harbor get smaller and smaller. They saw other boats and birds and waves. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces.
+
+"This is fun, dad!" Tom and Mia said.
+
+"I'm glad you like it, kids. We'll be at the island soon. There are more things to see and do there," dad said.
+
+Tom and Mia smiled and hugged their dad. They were happy and excited. They liked the harbor and the boat and their dad. They wondered what the island would be like.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun.
+
+One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog is not nice. He barks and growls and chases the ball and the kite. Ben and Mia are scared. They run away from the dog.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shout. "The dog is mean!"
+
+A man hears them. He is smart. He has a leash and a treat. He comes to the park. He calls the dog.
+
+"Come here, boy. Come here. I have a treat for you."
+
+The dog stops barking and growling. He smells the treat. He runs to the man. The man puts the leash on the dog.
+
+"Good boy. Good boy. You are not mean. You are just playful. But you have to be careful. You can't scare the kids."
+
+The man gives the treat to the dog. The dog wags his tail. He likes the treat. He likes the man.
+
+Ben and Mia come out from behind a tree. They are happy. The man is nice. He rescued them from the dog.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" they say. "You are a hero!"
+
+The man smiles. He is kind. He gives the ball and the kite back to Ben and Mia.
+

+
+Ben and Mia nod. They are smart. They know how to be safe. They hug the man. They hug each other. They are friends. They play in the park. They have fun.
+Lily liked to take pictures with her camera. She had a camera that her dad gave her for her birthday. She took pictures of her toys, her family, and her dog. She liked to show her pictures to everyone.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and her camera. She saw many things that she wanted to take pictures of: flowers, birds, swings, and slides. She ran around the park, snapping pictures of everything. She did not listen to her mom, who told her to stay close and be careful.
+
+Lily saw a big pond with ducks and fish. She wanted to take a picture of them. She leaned over the edge of the pond, holding her camera. She tried to get a good shot, but it was difficult. She moved her camera closer and closer to the water.
+
+Suddenly, she lost her balance and slipped. She fell into the pond, and so did her camera. She screamed and splashed. Her mom heard her and ran to help her. She pulled Lily out of the pond, wet and scared. She hugged her and asked her if she was okay.
+
+Lily was okay, but her camera was not. It was in the bottom of the pond, broken and ruined. Lily cried and cried. She was sorry for what she did. She regretted not listening to her mom. She regretted being careless with her camera. She learned a lesson that day: she should be more careful and respectful with her things and her mom. She said sorry to her mom and hugged her. Her mom forgave her and said she loved her. She said they could get a new camera someday, but Lily had to promise to be more responsible. Lily promised and said she loved her mom too.
+Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to wash the dishes and put them away. She had a special mug that was pink and had a picture of a bunny on it. She always washed it very carefully and put it on the top shelf.
+
+One day, Sara's mom had to go to the store. She told Sara to stay in the kitchen and not touch anything. Sara nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will be good." But after her mom left, Sara saw her mug on the shelf. She wanted to drink some juice from it. She climbed on a chair and reached for the mug.
+
+But the chair was wobbly and Sara lost her balance. She fell to the floor with a loud thud. The mug fell with her and broke into pieces. Sara started to cry. She saw the bunny on the mug was dead. She was very sad and scared. She wished her mom was there.
+
+She heard the door open and her mom came in. She saw Sara on the floor and the broken mug. She ran to her and hugged her. She asked, "Sara, are you okay? What happened?" Sara sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to drink juice from my mug. But I fell and the mug broke. The bunny is dead. I killed the bunny."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "Oh, Sara. You didn't kill the bunny. The bunny was just a picture. It's not alive. The mug was just a thing. It's not important. You are important. You are alive. And I love you." She picked up Sara and the pieces of the mug. She said, "Let's wash your face and your hands. And then we can find a new mug for you. A mug with a happy bunny. How does that sound?" Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "I love you, mom. Thank you."
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big basket of muffins on a bench. They were hungry and wanted to eat them.
+
+"Look, muffins!" Lily said. "Can we have some?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe they belong to someone."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She ran to the basket and took a muffin. She bit it and made a face.
+
+"Yuck!" she said. "This muffin is weird. It tastes bad."
+
+She threw the muffin on the ground. She took another one and bit it. It was also weird.
+
+"Yuck!" she said again. "This one is worse. It has something hard in it."
+
+She threw the second muffin on the ground. She took a third one and bit it. It was also weird.
+
+"Yuck!" she said for the third time. "This one is the worst. It has something sticky in it."
+
+She threw the third muffin on the ground. She looked at the basket. There were no more muffins left.
+
+"Let's go," she said to Ben. "These muffins are all weird. They are not good to eat."
+
+But Ben did not go. He saw a man coming to the bench. The man had a hat and a coat. He looked sad.
+
+"Hello," the man said. "Have you seen my muffins? I made them for my friends. They are sick and need some food. I put some medicine and some honey in the muffins. They are good for them."
+
+Ben felt sorry for the man. He looked at the ground. He saw the muffins that Lily had thrown away. They were dirty and broken.
+
+"I'm sorry," Ben said. "My friend took your muffins. She did not know they were for your friends. She thought they were weird and threw them away."
+
+The man was shocked. He looked at the muffins. He looked at Lily. He looked at Ben.
+
+"That's very bad," the man said. "Your friend was very rude and wasteful. She should not take things that are not hers. She should not throw away food that can help others. She should say sorry and help me make new muffins."
+
+Lily felt ashamed. She knew the man was right. She had been rude and wasteful. She had taken things that were not hers. She had thrown away food that could help others. She had not said sorry or helped the man.
+
+"I'm sorry," Lily said. "I was wrong. I did not know they were for your friends. I did not mean to be rude and wasteful. Can I help you make new muffins?"
+
+The man smiled. He was glad that Lily said sorry. He was glad that she wanted to help.
+
+"Thank you," the man said. "That's very kind of you. Come, let's go to my house and make new muffins. You can also meet my friends. They will be happy to see you."
+
+Lily and Ben followed the man. They went to his house and made new muffins. They met his friends. They were nice and grateful. They ate the muffins and felt better.
+
+Lily and Ben learned a lesson. They learned not to take things that are not theirs. They learned not to throw away food that can help others. They learned to say sorry and help when they make a mistake. They learned to be kind and generous. They made new friends and had fun. They were happy.
+Sara and Tom were excited to go to the park. They put on their shoes and coats and ran to the door. Mom said, "Wait for me, I need to get my keys."
+
+But Sara and Tom did not wait. They opened the door and ran outside. They did not see the ice on the steps. Sara slipped and fell. She hurt her heel and cried. Tom tried to help her, but he slipped too. He bumped his head and cried.
+
+Mom heard the cries and came outside. She saw Sara and Tom on the ground. She was scared and angry. She said, "Why did you not wait for me? You could have been hurt badly. Now we cannot go to the park. We have to go to the doctor."
+
+Sara and Tom were sorry and sad. They wished they had waited for Mom. They learned a lesson. They did not have fun that day.
+Tom was a gifted boy. He could draw, sing and make things with his hands. He liked to show his work to his mom and dad. They always encouraged him and said he was very clever.
+
+One day, Tom wanted to draw a monster. He took his crayons and paper and started to make a big, scary face. He gave it horns, teeth and claws. He was very proud of his monster.
+
+But when he showed it to his mom, she was not happy. She said it was too scary and not nice. She told him to draw something else. Tom felt sad and angry. He liked his monster. He thought it was cool.
+
+He ran to his room and hid his monster under his bed. He did not want to draw anything else. He wanted to be alone with his monster.
+
+That night, he heard a noise under his bed. He was scared. Was it his monster? He looked under the bed and saw a pair of glowing eyes. He screamed and ran to his mom and dad.
+
+They came to his room and turned on the light. They saw the monster under the bed. But it was not Tom's monster. It was a real monster. It was small and furry and had a big smile. It said, "Hi, I'm Max. I'm your new friend. I saw your drawing and I liked it. You are very gifted. Can we play?"
+
+Tom was surprised and curious. He asked, "You are not scary?"
+
+Max said, "No, I'm not scary. I'm friendly. I like to draw, sing and make things too. You are very encouraging. Can we share?"
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Yes, we can share. You are very nice. Can we be friends?"
+
+Max said, "Yes, we can be friends. You are very cool. Can we hug?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, we can hug. You are very soft. Can we sleep?"
+
+Max said, "Yes, we can sleep. You are very warm. Can we dream?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, we can dream. You are very fun. Can we dream of more monsters?"
+
+Max said, "Yes, we can dream of more monsters. You are very brave. Can we dream of happy monsters?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, we can dream of happy monsters. You are very sweet. Can we dream of being gifted monsters?"
+
+Max said, "Yes, we can dream of being gifted monsters. You are very special. Can we dream of encouraging each other?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, we can dream of encouraging each other. You are very wonderful. Can we dream of being best friends?"
+
+Max said, "Yes, we can dream of being best friends. You are very amazing. Can we dream of being happy?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, we can dream of being happy. You are very awesome. Can we dream of being together?"

+Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to bounce on the old tire that Dad had left there. They took turns to jump on it and see how high they could go.
+
+"Look at me, Lily! I can bounce so high!" Tom said, as he landed on the tire with a loud thud.
+
+"Wow, Tom, you are very good at bouncing!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "Can I try now?"
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. The tire is very big and hard," Tom said, as he moved away from the tire.
+
+Lily ran to the tire and tried to jump on it. But she was too small and the tire was too high. She missed the tire and fell on the grass. She hurt her knee and started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, Tom, it hurts!" Lily sobbed, holding her knee.
+
+Tom heard Lily cry and ran to her. He saw the blood on her knee and felt upset. He wanted to help Lily and make her feel better.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry. It was my fault. I should have helped you," Tom said, as he hugged Lily.
+
+"No, Tom, it was not your fault. It was an accident. You are a good brother," Lily said, as she wiped her tears.
+
+Tom and Lily went inside the house. Mom saw Lily's knee and put a band-aid on it. She gave them both a hug and a cookie.
+
+"Are you OK, Lily?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom, I'm OK. Tom was very nice to me. He said he was sorry and he hugged me," Lily said.
+
+"That's good, Lily. And Tom, you were very brave and kind. I'm proud of you," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and hugged Mom. They felt better and forgot about the tire. They decided to play with their blocks instead. They liked to build towers and knock them down. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+Lily and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and giraffes. They liked the animals, but they wanted to see the monkeys. They asked Mom and Dad to take them to the monkey house.
+
+When they got to the monkey house, they saw many monkeys. Some were big, some were small, some were brown, some were black. Some were swinging on the ropes, some were eating bananas, some were playing with each other. Lily and Ben laughed and pointed at the monkeys. They wanted to get closer to them.
+
+But one monkey was not happy. He was a big, black monkey, and he did not like the children. He made a loud noise and showed his teeth. He looked very scary. Lily and Ben got scared and ran back to Mom and Dad. They hugged them and said, "Mom, Dad, that monkey is scary! He does not like us!"
+
+Mom and Dad tried to calm them down. They said, "Don't worry, Lily and Ben. That monkey is just trying to protect his family. He does not know you, and he thinks you are strangers. He is not really scary, he is just nervous. If you are quiet and gentle, he will not bother you."
+
+Lily and Ben listened to Mom and Dad. They tried to be quiet and gentle. They looked at the other monkeys, who were friendly and funny. They saw a baby monkey, who was cute and curious. He came closer to them and made a soft noise. He wanted to play with them. Lily and Ben smiled and waved at the baby monkey. They said, "Hi, baby monkey. We are Lily and Ben. We like you. Do you want to be our friend?" The baby monkey nodded and reached out his hand. Lily and Ben touched his hand and felt his fur. They became friends with the baby monkey. They forgot about the scary monkey. They had fun at the zoo.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with toys. Tom had many toys, but Sam had few. Tom was rich, but Sam was poor. Tom did not share his toys with Sam. He said, "These are mine. You can't have them."
+
+One day, they went to the lake to swim. Tom brought his toys with him. He had a boat, a ball, a car, and a doll. Sam had nothing. He asked Tom, "Can I play with your toys, please?" Tom said, "No, you can't. These are mine. You can only watch."
+
+Sam was sad. He wanted to play with Tom's toys. He thought, "Tom is not a good friend. He is mean and greedy. He does not care about me." He had an idea. He said, "Tom, can I add some water to your boat? It will make it float better." Tom said, "Okay, you can do that. But don't touch anything else."
+
+Sam took the boat and went to the water. He added some water to the boat, but he added too much. The boat sank and disappeared. Tom saw what happened and yelled, "Hey, what did you do? You ruined my boat! You are a bad friend. You are mean and sneaky. You don't care about me."
+
+Sam ran away. He felt sorry for what he did, but he also felt angry at Tom. He thought, "Tom deserved it. He was not nice to me. He did not share his toys with me." They never played together again.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral: Sharing is caring. If you are selfish and stingy, you will lose your friends and your things.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a large dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and big ears.

+
+"My dog's name is Rex. He is very friendly. He likes to play and run," the man says.
+
+"Can we play with Rex?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, you can. But be careful. He likes to tease sometimes. He might chase you or pull your clothes," the man says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are not afraid. They think Rex is fun. They run with Rex in the grass. Rex chases them and barks. He pulls Lily's scarf and Ben's hat. Lily and Ben tease Rex back. They throw a ball and a stick. Rex fetches them and brings them back.
+
+They have a lot of fun. They forget the time. The sun is setting. The man calls Rex.
+
+"Rex, come here. It's time to go home," the man says.
+
+Rex runs to the man. He wags his tail. He looks at Lily and Ben.
+
+"Bye, Rex. We had fun with you," Lily and Ben say.
+
+"Bye, kids. Thanks for playing with Rex. He likes you. Maybe we'll see you again," the man says.

+Jenny loved her teddy bear very much. She always hugged him and played with him. She named him Brownie because he was brown and soft. Brownie was her best friend.
+
+One day, Jenny went to the park with her mom and Brownie. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She put Brownie on a bench and ran to the slide. She had a lot of fun sliding down and up again.
+
+But when she came back to the bench, Brownie was gone. She looked around and saw a boy holding him. She ran to the boy and said, "That's my teddy bear! Give him back!"
+
+The boy said, "No, he's mine now. He's adorable. You can have this old doll instead." He threw a dirty doll at Jenny and ran away with Brownie.
+
+Jenny was very sad and angry. She picked up the doll and wanted to throw it in the bin. But then she looked at the doll's face. The doll had a tear in her eye and a smile on her mouth. She looked like she needed a friend.
+
+Jenny felt sorry for the doll. She thought, "Maybe the boy was mean to her too. Maybe she misses her owner. Maybe she can be my friend too." She wiped the dirt off the doll and hugged her. She said, "Don't worry, doll. I'll take care of you. I'll name you Rosie because you have a rose on your dress."
+
+The doll seemed to smile more. Jenny felt happy too. She said, "I still miss Brownie, but I have a new friend now. Maybe the boy will learn to share and be nice someday. But I won't replace Rosie. She's adorable too."
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and take what belongs to others. Be kind and make new friends. You can love more than one thing.

+
+Mia feels sad and angry. She thinks Sara is not a good friend. She says, "That is not nice, Sara. You should share with me. We are friends."
+
+Sara does not listen. She says, "Go away, Mia. I don't want to play with you. You are messy and mean."
+
+Mia gets very mad. She grabs the bracelet from Sara's wrist and throws it across the room. The bracelet hits the wall and breaks. The beads fall on the floor.
+
+Sara and Mia both gasp. They look at the broken bracelet and the mess on the floor. They feel sorry and scared. They hear Sara's mom coming.
+
+"What is going on here?" Sara's mom asks. She sees the bracelet and the beads. She is not happy. She says, "Who did this? Who broke my bracelet?"
+
+Sara and Mia look at each other. They don't know what to say. They both start to cry. They hug each other and say, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, friend. We made a mistake. We will clean up the mess. We will be nice to each other. We love you."

+
+Mom hears Ben cry. She runs to the spaceship. She sees Lila. She is angry. She tells Lila to open the door. Lila says no. She says it is a game.

+
+Lila and Ben nod. They say they are sorry. They say they will be obedient. They say they love Mom. Mom says she loves them too. They go home. They have a snack. They play with their toys. They are happy.
+Tom and Anna were playing in their room. They liked to make forts with blankets and pillows. Tom had a big idea. He wanted to tie a pillow to his back and pretend he was a turtle. He asked Anna to help him.
+
+"Anna, can you tie this pillow to me?" he said.
+
+"OK, Tom. I will tie it for you. But be careful. You might fall down," she said.
+
+She tied the pillow to Tom's back with a long scarf. Tom was happy. He crawled on the floor and made turtle noises. Anna laughed and clapped.
+
+"Look at me, Anna. I am a turtle. I am slow and strong," he said.
+
+He crawled to the door and tried to go out. But the pillow was too big. It got stuck in the door. Tom could not move. He felt scared and sad.
+
+"Anna, help me. I am stuck. The pillow is too big," he said.
+
+Anna ran to him and tried to pull him out. But the scarf was too tight. She could not untie it. She felt sorry and worried.
+
+"Tom, I am sorry. I can't untie you. The scarf is too tight. We need mom or dad," she said.
+
+She ran to the living room and called for mom and dad. They came quickly and saw Tom stuck in the door. They untied the scarf and freed Tom. They hugged him and checked if he was OK.
+
+"Tom, are you OK? What were you doing?" mom asked.
+

+
+Mom and dad smiled and kissed Tom and Anna. They were not angry. They were glad that Tom and Anna were OK.
+
+"It's OK, Tom and Anna. We are not angry. We are glad that you are OK. But next time, be careful with pillows and scarves. They can be dangerous. And don't try to go out with a pillow on your back. You might get hurt," dad said.
+
+Tom and Anna nodded and said sorry. They hugged mom and dad and thanked them. They learned their lesson. They decided to play something else. They still liked to make forts with blankets and pillows. But they never tied a pillow to their back again.
+Tom and Mia are playing in the kitchen. They see a big mug on the table. It is blue and has a picture of a cat on it. Tom likes cats. He wants to lift the mug and look at it.
+
+"Can I lift the mug, Mia?" he asks.
+
+"No, Tom, it is too heavy for you. And it is hot. Mommy put tea in it. You will burn your hand," Mia says.
+
+But Tom does not listen. He tries to lift the mug with both hands. It is very heavy and hot. He drops it on the floor. It breaks into pieces. The tea spills everywhere.
+
+"Oh no, Tom, what have you done?" Mia cries.
+
+Mommy hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the broken mug and the tea on the floor. She is not happy.
+
+"Tom, why did you lift the mug? You know you are not supposed to touch hot things. And you broke Mommy's favorite mug. It was a gift from Grandma. You are very naughty," Mommy says.
+
+Tom feels bad. He is sorry. He did not mean to break the mug. He just wanted to see the cat.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Mia. I like the cat. I wanted to see it. I did not know it was hot and heavy," he says.
+
+Mommy sighs. She is not angry anymore. She knows Tom is young and curious. She hugs him and Mia.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. I know you did not mean it. But you have to be careful and listen to Mommy and Mia. They know what is good for you. And you have to be gentle with things. They can break and hurt you. Do you understand?" she says.

+Tim and Jen were twins who liked to play in the big park near their home. One day, they saw a new path that led to a wide lake. They decided to follow it and see what they could discover.
+
+"Look, Jen, there are some ducks on the water!" Tim said, pointing to the birds that quacked and splashed.
+
+"Can we feed them, Tim?" Jen asked, holding a bag of bread crumbs.
+
+"Sure, let's go closer and see if they are friendly," Tim said, taking his sister's hand.
+
+They walked to the edge of the lake and threw some bread crumbs to the ducks. The ducks came closer and ate the bread happily. Tim and Jen smiled and laughed as they watched the ducks.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud splash behind them. They turned around and saw a big boat with a flag and a horn. It was a luxury boat that took people for tours on the lake. The people on the boat waved and smiled at Tim and Jen.
+
+"Wow, look at that boat, Jen! It's so big and shiny!" Tim said, amazed.
+
+"It's so pretty, Tim! Do you think we can go on it someday?" Jen said, excited.
+
+"Maybe, if we save our money and ask Mom and Dad nicely," Tim said, hopeful.

+Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play by the river. They had a raft that they made from logs and ropes. They took turns to paddle the raft and pretend they were explorers.
+
+One day, they saw a big waterfall ahead. They wanted to get closer and see the water splash. But the river was fast and strong. It pulled the raft towards the waterfall.
+
+"Tom, we have to turn back!" Lila shouted. "The waterfall is too big and loud!"
+
+"I know, I know!" Tom said. "But I can't steer the raft! The paddle is stuck!"
+
+Lila tried to help Tom, but she slipped and fell into the water. She screamed and grabbed the raft. Tom reached out and pulled her back. They hugged each other and prayed.
+
+The raft was almost at the edge of the waterfall. They closed their eyes and waited for the end. But then, they felt a bump. They opened their eyes and saw a mighty rock that stopped the raft from falling. They were safe!
+
+"Look, Lila, look!" Tom said. "The rock saved us!"
+
+"Thank you, rock, thank you!" Lila said. "You are our hero!"
+
+They waved to the rock and paddled away from the waterfall. They decided to never go near it again. They were happy to be alive and together.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the sandbox. They liked to build castles and bridges with the sand and the toys. They had a bucket, a shovel, a rake and a whip. The whip was Lily's favorite toy. She liked to make noises with it and pretend she was a cowboy.
+
+"Look at my castle, Ben!" Lily said. "It has a big tower and a flag. And I have a whip to protect it from bad guys."
+
+Ben looked at Lily's castle. He was envious. His castle was smaller and had no flag. He wanted to have a whip too. He thought it was not fair that Lily had the whip and he did not.
+
+"Can I play with your whip, Lily?" Ben asked. "Please?"
+
+"No, Ben. It's mine. You have the rake. You can play with that." Lily said. She did not want to share her whip. She liked it too much.
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He did not like the rake. He thought it was boring. He wanted to play with the whip. He had an idea. He waited until Lily was not looking. Then he grabbed the whip and ran away.
+
+"Hey, Ben! Give me back my whip!" Lily shouted. She saw Ben running with her whip. She was very mad. She ran after him.
+
+Ben and Lily ran around the sandbox. They yelled and chased each other. They did not see the teacher coming. The teacher saw them and was not happy. She took the whip from Ben and gave it back to Lily. She told them to stop fighting and to share their toys. She said they had to say sorry to each other.
+
+Ben and Lily felt ashamed. They knew they did something wrong. They said sorry to each other. They decided to share their toys and to play nicely. They learned that fighting was not fun and that sharing was better. They hugged and smiled. They went back to the sandbox and built a new castle together. They used the bucket, the shovel, the rake and the whip. They had fun and were friends again.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big book with pictures of space. Space is where the stars and the moon are. They open the book and see many pretty things.
+
+"Look, Ben, this is a rocket!" Lily says, pointing to a red and white thing. "It can fly to space and see the stars."
+
+"Wow, that is cool!" Ben says. "Can we go to space too?"
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She grabs a cardboard box and some crayons. She says, "Let's make our own rocket! We can draw on the box and pretend it is a rocket."
+
+Ben likes the idea. He helps Lily draw windows, wings, and a nose on the box. They also draw some stars and planets on the box. They cut out a hole for the door and crawl inside. They sit on some pillows and hold some toy buttons.
+
+"Are you ready, Ben?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, I am, Lily!" Ben says.
+
+"OK, then, let's count down. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blast off!" Lily shouts.
+
+They make a loud noise and shake the box. They pretend they are flying to space. They look at the pictures in the book and imagine they are seeing them for real.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a pretty star!" Ben says.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a pretty moon!" Lily says.
+
+They clap their hands and smile. They are having fun. They are happy. They are space explorers.
+Lily and Sam liked to watch movies on the big TV. They had many movies to choose from, but their favorite was the one with the magic rabbit. The magic rabbit could do many tricks, like jump very high, change colors, and disappear.
+
+One day, Lily and Sam decided to play with their own toy rabbit. They named it Fluffy and pretended it was magic too. They made Fluffy jump, change colors, and disappear. They used a scarf to cover Fluffy and then pulled it away. Sometimes Fluffy was still there, and sometimes Fluffy was gone.
+
+Lily and Sam had fun with Fluffy, but they also wanted to watch the movie with the magic rabbit. They put Fluffy on the couch and turned on the TV. They found the movie and pressed play. They watched the magic rabbit do his tricks and laughed.
+
+When the movie was over, Lily and Sam looked for Fluffy. But Fluffy was not on the couch. They looked under the couch, behind the pillows, and in the basket. But Fluffy was not there. They wondered where Fluffy went. Did Fluffy disappear like the magic rabbit?
+
+They searched the whole room, but they could not find Fluffy. They felt sad and worried. They wanted Fluffy back. They asked their mom if she saw Fluffy. Mom said she did not see Fluffy, but she had a surprise for them. She brought them to the kitchen and showed them a cake. On the cake, there was Fluffy. Fluffy was made of frosting and candy. Mom said she made Fluffy for them as a treat.
+
+Lily and Sam were happy to see Fluffy. They hugged mom and thanked her. They said Fluffy was a very flexible rabbit. He could be a toy, a movie star, and a cake. They cut a slice of cake and shared it with Fluffy. They ate the cake and enjoyed the sweet taste. They said Fluffy was the best rabbit ever.
+Tim and Mia like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build towers, houses, cars and animals with their blocks.
+
+One day, they decide to play a game. They take turns hiding some blocks in the room and then finding them. Tim hides some blocks under the bed, behind the curtain and in the toy box. Mia looks for them and finds them all. She is very good at finding.
+
+Then, Mia hides some blocks in the sink, in the closet and under the pillow. Tim looks for them and finds some, but not all. He cannot find the blocks in the sink. He asks Mia for a hint.
+
+"Where are the blocks?" he says.
+
+"They are wet," Mia says.
+
+Tim thinks. He looks at the bathtub, the bucket, the bottle. He does not see any blocks. He is confused.
+
+"Where are they wet?" he says.
+
+"They are in the sink," Mia says.
+
+Tim runs to the sink. He sees the blocks soaking in the water. He is surprised.
+
+"Why did you hide them there?" he says.
+
+"I wanted to make them clean," Mia says.
+
+Tim laughs. He takes the blocks out of the water. He shakes them and dries them with a towel. He and Mia play with the blocks again. They have fun.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and explorers. They used pillows, blankets and toys to make a ship and a cave.
+
+"Look, I found a treasure!" Tom said, holding a shiny vase. He had taken it from the shelf when Sara was not looking. "It's mine, I'm the captain!"
+
+"No, you can't have it!" Sara said, running to him. "That's Mommy's vase, she loves it very much. You have to put it back!"
+
+Tom did not want to put it back. He liked the vase. It was pretty and sparkly. He tried to resist Sara, but she was stronger. She pulled the vase from his hands.
+
+"Give it to me!" Tom shouted, angry. He pushed Sara, and she fell on the floor. The vase slipped from her fingers and crashed on the ground. It broke into many pieces.
+
+Sara and Tom stared at the broken vase. They felt very bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They heard Mommy coming.
+
+"What happened here?" Mommy asked, seeing the mess. She looked at the vase, then at Sara and Tom. She was sad and angry.
+
+Sara and Tom started to cry. They said they were sorry. They told Mommy what they had done.
+
+Mommy was not happy. She said they had to clean up the mess. She said they had to be more careful and respectful with her things. She said they had to share and not fight.
+
+But Mommy was also kind. She hugged Sara and Tom. She said she loved them. She said they could still play, but not with the vase. She gave them some cookies and milk. She said they could make a new vase together, with clay and paint.
+
+Sara and Tom felt better. They thanked Mommy. They said they loved her too. They said they would be good and not break anything again. They ate their cookies and milk. They smiled at each other. They were still friends.
+Anna was a pupil in the big school. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. But there was one boy who was not nice to her. His name was Ben. He was ignorant and mean. He always said bad words and laughed at Anna.
+
+One day, the teacher said they had to make a picture with crayons. She gave them paper and many colors. Anna was happy. She wanted to draw a rainbow and a sun. She looked for a place to sit and saw an empty chair next to Ben.
+
+"Can I sit here?" she asked politely.
+
+"No, you can't!" Ben shouted. "This is my chair. Go away, you are stupid and ugly. I don't want you near me."
+
+Anna felt sad and hurt. She did not understand why Ben was so rude. She did not do anything wrong. She looked for another chair, but they were all taken. She did not know what to do.
+
+The teacher saw what happened and came to Anna. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Anna. You can sit with me. You are a smart and beautiful pupil. I like you very much. And you know what? You can use my special crayons. They are shiny and glittery. Do you want to try them?"
+
+Anna nodded and smiled back. She felt happy and grateful. She followed the teacher to her desk and took a crayon. She started to draw her rainbow and sun. They were bright and sparkly. She liked them very much.
+
+The teacher looked at her picture and said, "Wow, Anna, this is a wonderful picture. You have a great talent. Can I include it in the wall of the classroom? I think everyone should see it and admire it."
+
+Anna felt proud and excited. She said, "Yes, please, teacher. I would love that. Thank you for being so kind to me. You are the best teacher ever."
+
+The teacher hugged her and said, "You are very welcome, Anna. You are a sweet and lovely pupil. I am glad to have you in my class."
+
+Ben saw what happened and felt jealous and angry. He looked at his picture and saw that it was dull and messy. He had only used one color, black. He had drawn a big X and a frown. He did not like his picture. He did not like himself. He wished he could be more like Anna. But he did not know how. He was ignorant and mean. And he was alone.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a long rope hanging from a branch. Ben wanted to swing on the rope, but he did not know how to tie it.
+
+"Can you help me, Lily?" he asked. "I want to swing on the rope, but I do not know how to tie it."
+
+Lily nodded. She was good at tying things. She took the rope and made a loop. Then she put the end of the rope through the loop and pulled it tight. She made a knot.
+
+"Look, Ben, I tied the rope. Now you can swing on it," she said.
+
+Ben was glad. He thanked Lily and grabbed the rope. He ran and jumped and swung on the rope. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughed and shouted.
+
+"Wow, this is fun! Thank you, Lily, you are a good friend!" he said.
+
+Lily smiled. She was glad too. She watched Ben swing on the rope and clapped her hands. She liked to help her friend. She liked to play in the park. She liked to be happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big slide. Lily wanted to go on the slide, but she was too small. She asked Tom to help her.
+
+"Tom, can you lift me up to the slide?" Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily, I will lift you up. But be careful, the slide is hot. The sun made it hot." Tom said.
+
+Tom was thoughtful. He lifted Lily up to the slide. He held her hand so she would not fall. Lily smiled and thanked Tom.
+
+"Thank you, Tom, you are a good friend." Lily said.
+
+Lily slid down the slide. She felt the hot metal on her legs. She squealed and laughed. She liked the slide.
+
+Tom slid down after her. He felt the hot metal too. He squealed and laughed. He liked the slide too.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged each other. They were happy. They played on the slide again and again. They had fun in the park.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bus. The bus says "Travel to the zoo". Lily and Tom want to see the animals. They run to the bus.
+
+"Stop!" a man says. He is the bus driver. He has a knife in his hand. He is bad. He wants to take the children away. "Give me your money and get on the bus!"
+
+Lily and Tom are scared. They have no money. They do not want to go with the bad man. They scream for help.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shout. A policeman hears them. He runs to the bus. He sees the bad man with the knife. He takes the knife away. He puts the bad man in his car.
+
+"Are you okay?" the policeman asks Lily and Tom. He is kind. He gives them a hug. "You are brave. You did the right thing. You should never go with strangers."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They thank the policeman. They go back to the park. They play with their toys. They are happy. They are safe.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to swim in the lake. They had a lot of fun splashing and diving in the water. One day, they saw a big pile of lumber on the shore. It was for building a new house.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "Can we play with it?"
+
+Ben nodded. "Sure, let's go!"
+
+They ran to the lumber and started to make a fort. They used sticks and rocks to hold the lumber together. They made a door and a window and a roof. They were very proud of their fort.
+
+"Look, we have a house!" Ben said. "Let's go inside!"
+
+They crawled into their fort and pretended to live there. They had a lot of fun making up stories and games.
+
+But then, they heard a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" It was Tom, the owner of the lumber. He was angry. "That's my lumber! You can't play with it! Get out of there!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They came out of their fort and saw Tom. He was big and mean. He had a hammer and a saw.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Lily said. "We didn't know it was yours. We just wanted to have fun."
+
+"Well, you can't have fun with my lumber!" Tom said. "It's mine! Go away!"
+
+He kicked their fort and made it fall apart. He threw the sticks and rocks away. He ruined their fort.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They had worked hard on their fort. They liked their fort. They wanted to play in their fort.
+
+They looked at Tom. He was still angry. He didn't want to share his lumber. He didn't want to have fun. He was jealous.
+
+They decided to leave him alone. They ran back to the lake and jumped into the water. They swam and splashed and dived. They had fun.
+
+They forgot about Tom and his lumber. They didn't need his lumber. They had each other. They were friends.
+Lily liked to sing. She sang every day. She sang in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang in the shower, in the car, and in the park. She sang to her dolls, to her dog, and to her mom.
+
+One day, Lily saw a microphone in a store. It was yellow and shiny. It had a button that made it louder. Lily wanted the microphone. She asked her mom if she could have it. Her mom said it was too expensive. Lily was sad.
+
+Lily's birthday was coming soon. She wished for the microphone. She told her mom and her dad and her grandma and her grandpa. She told her friends and her teacher and her neighbor. She hoped someone would give her the microphone.
+
+On her birthday, Lily had a party. She had cake and ice cream and balloons. She had games and prizes and fun. She opened her presents. She got books and clothes and toys. She liked them all. But she did not get the microphone.
+
+Lily was about to cry. She thought no one listened to her. She thought no one cared. Then, she saw one more present. It was big and heavy. It had a card that said, "To Lily, from Uncle Joe. I recommend you use this with care." Lily opened the present. It was the microphone!
+
+Lily was so happy. She hugged Uncle Joe. She thanked him. She turned on the microphone. She sang a song. She sang loud and clear. She sang happy and proud. She sang to everyone. Everyone clapped and cheered. Lily smiled. She loved her microphone.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big cable hanging from a tree. It looked like a swing.
+
+"Can we try it?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Ben said.
+
+They took turns to sit on the cable and push each other. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and shouted.
+
+"Ring, ring, ring!" they pretended to be a phone.
+
+But then, a man came out of a house near the tree. He looked angry and crazy. He had a red face and a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, you kids! Get off my cable! That's not a swing, that's my phone line! You're breaking it!" he yelled.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They jumped off the cable and ran away.
+
+"Sorry, mister!" they said.
+
+They ran back to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They told her what happened.
+
+"That was not nice of him," mom said. "But you should not play with things that are not yours. Maybe he needs his phone to talk to someone important."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their ball instead. They still had fun.
+Tom and Sue are playing with blocks in their room. They like to build towers and bridges and houses. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes.
+
+Suddenly, they feel the floor shake. They hear a loud noise. The blocks fall down and the pictures on the wall move. Tom and Sue are scared. They do not know what is happening.
+
+"Mommy! Daddy!" they cry. They run to the door, but it is stuck. They cannot open it.
+
+They hear their parents' voices from outside. "Tom! Sue! Are you okay?" their mom asks. "We are coming to get you. There is an earthquake. Stay calm and do not move."
+
+Tom and Sue hug each other. They are glad their parents are here. They wait for them to open the door.
+
+They see their dad's hand through a crack in the door. He points to a flashlight. "Grab this, kids. It will help you see in the dark. We are almost there. It is easy. Just hold on."
+
+Tom and Sue reach for the flashlight. They turn it on and see their dad's face. He smiles at them. He pushes the door open and hugs them. Their mom is behind him. She hugs them too.
+
+They are safe. They are happy. They love their parents. The earthquake is over.
+Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to make a salad for lunch. Mom gave her a big bowl and some lettuce. Anna tore the lettuce into small pieces and put them in the bowl. She felt very proud.
+
+"Can I put some pepper on the salad?" Anna asked. She saw a small bottle with black dots on the table.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Pepper is very spicy. You only need a little bit," Mom said.
+
+Anna nodded and reached for the bottle. She opened the lid and shook it over the bowl. But she did not see that the lid was loose. All the pepper came out of the bottle and covered the salad. Anna gasped and dropped the bottle.
+
+"Oh no! What did I do?" Anna cried.
+
+Mom turned around and saw the mess. She was confused. She did not understand how so much pepper came out of the bottle. She looked at Anna and saw her sad face.
+
+"It's okay, Anna. It was an accident. We can make another salad. But first, let's clean up this one," Mom said.
+
+She hugged Anna and smiled. She was not angry. She loved Anna very much. Anna felt better. She helped Mom throw away the pepper and the lettuce. Then they washed the bowl and the table. They made a new salad with tomatoes and cheese. They put a little bit of pepper on it. It was delicious. Anna and Mom enjoyed their lunch. They were happy.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the living room. They had a lot of toys and books, but they wanted to do something new. They saw the fireplace and thought it was very pretty. They wanted to touch it and see what it was like.
+
+They went closer to the fireplace and saw some wood and some matches. They did not know what matches were, but they looked like sticks. They thought they could make a fire with them, like in the stories they read. They took some matches and tried to rub them on the wood.
+
+But nothing happened. They rubbed harder and harder, until one match made a spark. The spark flew to the wood and started a small fire. Sara and Tom were very surprised and scared. They did not know how to stop the fire. They ran away from the fireplace and screamed for help.
+
+Mom and Dad heard them and came to the living room. They saw the fire and quickly put it out with water. They were very angry and worried. They asked Sara and Tom what they were doing and why they played with the matches.
+
+Sara and Tom did not know how to answer. They felt very sorry and ashamed. They knew they did something bad and dangerous. They looked at Mom and Dad and said, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We wanted to see the fireplace. We did not know matches make fire. We will not do it again. Please do not be mad at us."
+
+Mom and Dad hugged Sara and Tom and said, "We are glad you are safe, Sara and Tom. But you should never play with matches or fire. They can hurt you and the house. You should always ask us before you touch something you do not know. We love you, but we also have to teach you. You have to bow and say sorry to the fireplace for making it burn."
+
+Sara and Tom nodded and went to the fireplace. They bowed and said, "We are sorry, fireplace. We did not mean to make you burn. You are very pretty and warm. We will not play with you again. Please forgive us."
+
+The fireplace did not say anything, but Sara and Tom felt better. They learned a lesson and said thank you to Mom and Dad. They went back to their toys and books and played nicely. They did not touch the fireplace or the matches again.
+Lily likes to hear stories. She hears stories from her mom, her dad, and her big sister. Sometimes, she hears stories from her friends at school. She likes stories about animals, princesses, and adventures.
+
+One day, Lily goes to the library with her mom. The library has many books with stories and pictures. Lily sees a group of children sitting on a big rug. They are listening to a lady with a book. The lady is telling a story about a dog and a cat. Lily wants to hear the story too.
+
+She asks her mom if she can join the group. Her mom says yes, and they walk to the rug. Lily sits next to a boy with a blue shirt. He smiles at her and says his name is Ben. Lily says her name too. They listen to the lady and look at the book. The dog and the cat are friends. They have fun together. They help each other. Lily likes the story. She likes Ben too.
+
+When the story is over, the lady says goodbye to the children. She tells them to come back next week for another story. Lily and Ben say thank you to the lady. They say bye to each other. They hug and promise to be friends. Lily is glad. She likes to hear stories. She likes to make friends. She likes the library.
+Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But they do not like to bathe. They think bath time is boring and cold.
+
+One day, their mom says, "It is time to bathe, Sam and Mia. You are very dirty and smelly. Come on, let's go to the bathroom."
+
+Sam and Mia say, "No, mom, we do not want to bathe. We want to play more. Please, mom, please."
+
+Their mom says, "No, you have to bathe. It is good for you. You will feel fresh and clean. And I have a surprise for you after you bathe. Now, stop whining and follow me."
+
+Sam and Mia are curious about the surprise. They wonder what it is. They follow their mom to the bathroom. They take off their clothes and get into the tub. Their mom washes their hair and body with soap and water. She makes bubbles and sings songs. Sam and Mia start to have fun. They splash and giggle. They forget that they did not want to bathe.
+
+After they bathe, their mom dries them with a towel and puts on their pajamas. She says, "Now, are you ready for the surprise?"
+
+Sam and Mia say, "Yes, mom, yes. What is it? What is it?"
+
+Their mom says, "Come with me. We are going to the elevator."
+
+Sam and Mia are excited. They love the elevator. It is a big box that moves up and down. They run to the elevator and press the button. The door opens and they get in. Their mom presses another button. The door closes and the elevator starts to move.
+
+Sam and Mia say, "Where are we going, mom? Where are we going?"
+
+Their mom says, "We are going to the roof. There is something there that I want to show you. Something unknown. Something amazing. You will see."
+Anna loved to chase butterflies in the garden. She thought they were pretty and fun. She wanted to catch one and keep it as a pet. But her mom told her that butterflies need to be free and happy.
+
+One day, Anna saw a big, yellow butterfly on a flower. She ran towards it and tried to grab it with her hands. But the butterfly flew away. Anna followed it to the fence, where it landed on another flower. Anna reached out again, but the butterfly flew away again. Anna was angry and sad.
+
+"Please, butterfly, please!" she shouted. "Let me catch you and play with you!"
+
+But the butterfly did not listen. It flew over the fence to the neighbor's garden. Anna climbed the fence and ran after it. She did not see the sign that said "Beware of the dog".
+
+The neighbor's dog was very nosy. He liked to bark at strangers and chase them away. He saw Anna running in his garden and thought she was a thief. He ran towards her and growled.
+
+Anna was scared. She saw the dog and screamed. She turned around and ran back to the fence. But the dog was faster. He bit her leg and made her fall. Anna cried and cried.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came to help her. She saw the dog and the blood on Anna's leg. She was angry and worried. She shouted at the neighbor and called the doctor.
+
+The doctor came and cleaned Anna's wound. He gave her a bandage and a medicine. He told her to rest and be careful.
+
+Anna was sorry. She realized that she was wrong to chase the butterfly and go to the neighbor's garden. She learned that she should respect the animals and their homes. She said sorry to her mom and the neighbor and the dog. She said thank you to the doctor.
+
+She never chased butterflies again. She watched them from a distance and admired their beauty. She was happy and wise.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. Sara had a necklace with shiny beads that she called her jewelry. She wore it around her neck and said it was a gift from the pirate queen.
+
+Tom wanted to have the necklace too. He thought it was very pretty and he liked how it sparkled in the sun. He asked Sara if he could borrow it, but Sara said no. She said it was hers and she did not want to share it.
+
+Tom was angry and sad. He decided to take the necklace when Sara was not looking. He waited until Sara went to the slide and then he ran to her bag and grabbed the necklace. He put it in his pocket and ran away.
+
+Sara came back from the slide and saw that her bag was open and her necklace was gone. She was very upset and started to cry. She looked around and saw Tom running away with something in his pocket. She knew he had taken her jewelry. She ran after him and shouted, "Tom, give me back my necklace! That's not nice!"
+
+Tom heard Sara and felt guilty. He knew he had done something wrong. He stopped and turned around. He saw Sara's face and how sad she was. He took out the necklace and gave it back to her. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was selfish and I wanted your jewelry. But it's yours and you should have it. Please forgive me."
+
+Sara took the necklace and put it back on her neck. She felt warm and happy. She said, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. I know you like my jewelry, but it's very special to me. Maybe we can find some more treasure together and share it. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Tom nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. And I'm sorry for taking your jewelry. You are very kind and generous. Let's go and play some more."
+
+Sara and Tom hugged and went back to the park. They played and had fun. They were happy and they learned to respect each other's things. They were good friends.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big house with a wheel that turned in the water. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go to the mill," Tom said. "Maybe we can find something fun."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mommy said not to go too far."
+
+They ran to the mill and opened the door. It was dark and dusty. They saw many machines and tools. They heard a loud noise.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Let's examine it."
+
+They walked to the noise. They saw a big machine that made flour. It had a belt and a hopper and a grinder. It looked scary.
+
+"Wow," Tom said. "This is how they make bread."
+
+"It looks dull," Lily said. "I don't like it. It makes too much noise and dust."
+
+"Me neither," Tom said. "Let's go back to the park. There are more fun things to do there."
+
+They turned around and ran to the door. They saw a man standing there. He looked angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids!" he shouted. "What are you doing here? This is not a place to play. This is a working mill. You could get hurt."
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They said sorry and ran away. They went back to the park and played with their ball and their dog. They decided not to go to the mill again. They learned that some things are better to look at than to touch.
+Sara and Tom are playing in the garden. They have a big box and some blankets. They pretend the box is a boat and the blankets are sails. They rock the box back and forth and make boat noises.
+
+"Look, Tom, we are sailing to a faraway land!" Sara says.
+
+"Where are we going, Sara?" Tom asks.
+
+"We are going to visit the queen. She lives in a castle on a hill. She is very kind and beautiful. She will give us cake and tea," Sara says.
+
+Tom likes cake and tea. He is excited to meet the queen. He rocks the box faster and faster.
+
+But then, they hear a loud bark. It is Rex, the big dog from next door. He has jumped over the fence and is running towards them. He wants to play, but he does not know how to be gentle. He barks and jumps and tries to bite the box.
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They stop rocking the box and hug each other. They are anxious. They do not want Rex to ruin their boat or hurt them.
+
+"Go away, Rex! Leave us alone!" Sara shouts.
+
+"Help! Help! We need the queen!" Tom cries.
+
+The queen hears their cries. She is Sara and Tom's mom. She comes out of the house and sees Rex. She is not happy. She claps her hands and calls Rex's name. Rex stops barking and jumping. He knows he is in trouble. He runs back to his yard.
+
+The queen goes to Sara and Tom. She hugs them and kisses them. She tells them they are brave and clever. She asks them if they are okay. They nod and smile. They are happy to see the queen.
+
+"Thank you, queen, for saving us from Rex," Sara says.
+
+"Yes, thank you, queen, you are the best," Tom says.
+
+The queen smiles and says, "You are welcome, my dear children. Now, how about some cake and tea in the castle?"
+
+Sara and Tom cheer and say, "Yes, please!"
+
+They take their box and blankets and follow the queen to the house. They forget about Rex and their boat. They only think about the cake and tea and the queen. They are not anxious anymore. They are happy.
+Ben loved dinosaurs. He had many dinosaur toys and books. He liked to roar and stomp like a dinosaur. He wanted to be a dinosaur for Halloween.
+
+He asked his mom to order a dinosaur costume for him online. She said yes and showed him some pictures. He picked a green and brown one with spikes and a tail. He was very happy and thanked his mom.
+
+He waited for many days for his costume to arrive. He dreamed of wearing it and scaring his friends. He hoped it would come soon.
+
+One day, he saw a big box on the porch. He ran to open it. He hoped it was his costume. He tore the tape and lifted the lid. He gasped.
+
+Inside the box was a pink and purple unicorn costume. It had a horn, wings and glitter. It was not a dinosaur. It was not what he ordered. It was a mistake.
+
+He felt very miserable. He cried and threw the box on the floor. He did not want to be a unicorn. He wanted to be a dinosaur.
+
+His mom heard him and came to see what was wrong. She saw the box and the costume. She looked at the label. It had the wrong name and address. She realized it was a mix-up.
+
+She hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, honey. This is not your costume. This is someone else's. We will send it back and get your dinosaur costume. Don't worry, you will be a dinosaur for Halloween."
+
+Ben sniffed and nodded. He felt a little better. He hoped his mom was right. He still wanted to be a dinosaur.
+Lily did not like the new year. She had to go to a new school and make new friends. She missed her old school and her old friends. She felt miserable every morning when she had to go to the bus.
+
+One day, she met a boy named Max on the bus. He had curly hair and a big smile. He said hello to Lily and asked her name. Lily said hello and told him her name.

+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. He loved to play with his toy cars and trucks. One day, Timmy's dad gave him a special present. It was a big, shiny motor that could make all of Timmy's toy cars go really fast.
+
+Timmy was so happy and excited that he hugged his dad and said, "Thank you, Daddy! You're so gifted!" Timmy loved his new motor so much that he wanted to keep it safe and clean. He decided to cover it with a soft blanket so it wouldn't get dusty or scratched.
+
+From that day on, Timmy played with his toy cars and trucks even more than before. They all went super fast thanks to his special motor. And every night before bed, Timmy made sure to cover his motor with its soft blanket so it would stay nice and shiny.

+
+Jack agreed and they started to skip around the park. They laughed and had fun until it was time to go home. Lily thanked Jack for playing with her and gave him a big hug.
+Once upon a time, there was a duck named Ducky. Ducky loved to swim in the pond and eat delicious bread that people would throw to him. One day, Ducky saw a frog who was stuck in the mud near the pond. Ducky asked, "Do you need help, Froggy?" Froggy replied, "Yes, please raise me out of the mud."
+
+Ducky tried to raise Froggy with his beak, but he couldn't. Ducky went to ask his friends, the other ducks, for help. They all tried to raise Froggy, but they couldn't either. They decided to ask the people who fed them for help. The people came and raised Froggy out of the mud, but it was too late. Froggy had already died.
+
+Ducky felt sad and realized that it's important to ask for help when you need it. The moral of the story is to not wait until it's too late to ask for help.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She was very eager to play outside. She went to her mommy and said, "Mommy, I want to play outside on the porch." 
+
+Mommy said, "Okay, Lily. But first, you need to put on your shoes." 
+
+Lily put on her shoes and ran outside to the porch. She saw her friend, Timmy, and said, "Hi Timmy! Do you want to play with me on the porch?" 
+
+Timmy said, "Yes, I want to play with you on the porch." 
+
+So Lily and Timmy played on the porch together. They had so much fun playing with their toys and running around. When it started to get dark, Lily's mommy called them inside for dinner. Lily was sad to leave the porch, but she knew she could play on it again tomorrow.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to do yoga. She would stretch and bend her body every day, feeling strong and happy. But one day, Lily woke up feeling tired and didn't want to do yoga.
+
+Instead, she decided to go outside and play in the park. She ran and jumped, feeling the spring breeze on her face. But then, she saw a little bird stuck in a tree. She tried to help it, but she wasn't strong enough.
+
+Lily went home feeling sad and realized that if she had done her yoga, she would have been strong enough to help the bird. She learned that even when we feel tired, we should still take care of our bodies so we can help others. The end.
+Once upon a time, there was a dog named Max. Max was very adventurous and loved to go on walks with his owner. One day, they went to the beach. Max saw the big blue water and wanted to swim. His owner said it was okay and Max jumped in the water. He swam and swam until he was tired. Then he came back to the shore and shook off all the water. 
+
+While they were walking, Max saw a flag waving in the wind. It was a red flag. Max's owner told him that it meant the water was too dangerous to swim in. Max understood and didn't go back in the water. Instead, he played in the sand and chased seagulls. 
+
+When it was time to go home, Max was very tired. He had a fun day at the beach and couldn't wait to go back again.
+Once upon a time, there was a little bird who was flying around in the forest. The bird saw a small twig on the ground and picked it up with its beak. The twig was very clear and shiny, and the bird liked it very much.
+

+Lily and Ben are scared of the dog. They run away from the swing and hide behind a tree. They hope the dog will go away soon.
+
+But the dog does not go away. He makes the swing dirty with his paws and his fur. He chews on the ropes and the seat. He makes holes and tears.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They love the swing and do not want it to be broken. They wish they had a way to make the dog leave.
+
+Then they see a man with a bucket and a sponge. He is the park cleaner. He comes to the swing and sees the dog. He says, "Hey, you! Get off the swing! You are making a mess!"
+
+The dog is afraid of the man. He jumps off the swing and runs away. He does not want to be cleaned.
+
+The man cleans the swing with the bucket and the sponge. He makes it shiny and smooth again. He fixes the holes and the tears.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They thank the man and give him a hug. They go back to the swing and play again. They are careful to keep the swing clean. They do not want another nosy dog to spoil their fun.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big swing. Sara and Ben take turns on the swing. They push each other and laugh.
+
+One day, the sky is gray and the wind is cold. Sara and Ben do not want to go to the park. They stay at home and feel bored.
+
+"Let's make something," Sara says.
+
+"Like what?" Ben asks.
+
+"Like a swing," Sara says.
+
+"A swing? How can we make a swing?" Ben says.
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She sees a big box, a rope, and a pillow. She has an idea.
+
+"Come, I'll show you," Sara says.
+
+Sara and Ben work together. They cut a hole in the box. They tie the rope to the box. They put the pillow in the box. They hang the box from the ceiling.
+
+"Look, we made a swing!" Sara says.
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Ben says.
+
+They climb into the box and swing back and forth. They feel happy and warm.
+
+They forget about the gray sky and the cold wind. They have fun with their swing. They are proud of what they made.
+Mia and Leo are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over them. One day, Mia wants to read a book about animals. Leo wants to read the same book. They both pull the book hard. The book tears in half. Mia and Leo are sad and angry. They cry and yell.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the torn book and the twins. She is not happy. She tells them to stop crying and yelling. She tells them to say sorry to each other and to the book. She tells them to share and be humble. She tells them that humble means to not think you are better than others.
+
+Mia and Leo listen to Mom. They say sorry to each other and to the book. They hug and make up. They decide to share the book. They take turns reading the pages. They learn about different animals. They have fun and laugh. They are humble and happy. Mom smiles and hugs them. She is proud of her twins.
+Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They wanted to carry some earth to their sandbox and make a castle.
+
+"Look, Sara, I found a worm!" Tom said, holding up his shovel.
+
+"Yuck, Tom, put it down!" Sara said, making a face.
+
+"No, it is my friend. I will carry it to the sandbox too. Maybe it will make us famous. Maybe people will come and see our worm castle," Tom said, smiling.
+
+Sara did not like Tom's idea, but she did not want to fight. She carried her bucket of earth to the sandbox and started to make a wall. Tom followed her with his shovel and his worm.
+
+"Tom, be careful, don't drop the worm!" Sara said, as she saw Tom swing his shovel.
+
+But it was too late. Tom tripped on a rock and fell. His shovel flew out of his hand and hit Sara on the head. Sara screamed and dropped her bucket. The earth and the worm spilled on the ground.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara cried, holding her head.
+
+"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Tom said, getting up.
+
+But Sara was very angry. She pushed Tom and ran to the house. She told their mom what happened. Mom was not happy. She scolded Tom and gave Sara a band-aid.
+
+Tom felt bad. He lost his worm and his sister. He looked at the sandbox. It was empty and sad. He wished he had not carried the worm. He wished he had listened to Sara. He wished he had a castle. He wished he had a friend.

+They hear a voice. It is their teacher. She says, "What happened, Lily and Ben? Where is your basket? Where are your healthy things?"
+
+Lily and Ben tell her what happened. They say they are sorry. They say they were playing on the slide.
+
+The teacher is not angry. She is kind. She says, "It's okay, Lily and Ben. Accidents happen. You can fix your basket. You can find new healthy things. You can do your task again. But first, let's go to the nurse. She will check if you are hurt. She will make you feel better. She will give you a healthy snack."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They are not sad anymore. They go with their teacher. They fix their basket. They find new healthy things. They do their task again. They are proud. They are healthy. They are happy.
+Lily woke up in the morning and saw a new toy on her bed. It was a soft bear with a red bow. She hugged it and smiled. She wondered who gave it to her.
+
+She ran to the kitchen where her mom and dad were having breakfast. She showed them the bear and asked, "Who gave me this?"

+Lily was happy and said, "Thank you, grandma! I love her too. Can I call her and say thank you?"
+
+Her dad nodded and said, "Of course, sweetie. She would love to hear from you. But first, let's have some breakfast. You must be hungry."
+
+Lily agreed and sat down with her mom and dad. She ate some cereal and milk and then asked for the phone. She dialed her grandma's number and waited.
+
+"Hello?" her grandma's voice said.
+
+"Hi, grandma! It's me, Lily. I got your bear. He's so soft and cute. I love him. Thank you, grandma!" Lily said.
+
+Her grandma was happy and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like him. I saw him in the store and thought of you. He's your new friend. What's his name?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment and then said, "His name is Bobo. He likes to hug and play. He's my best friend."
+
+Her grandma laughed and said, "That's a nice name. Bobo sounds like a fun bear. I'm sure you'll have a lot of adventures together. I love you, Lily. Have a good day."
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, grandma. Have a good day. Bye bye."

+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big white bag in the park. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Let's imagine what is in the bag," Anna says. "Maybe it is a toy, or a cake, or a hat."
+
+"Or maybe it is a dragon, or a star, or a rainbow," Ben says. They laugh and make funny noises.
+
+They open the bag and look inside. They see many books with pictures and words. They are happy and surprised.
+
+"Wow, look at all these books," Anna says. "We can read them and learn new things."
+
+"Or we can imagine our own stories," Ben says. "We can be heroes, or animals, or anything we want."

+They take out some books and sit on the grass. They read and imagine together. They have fun and forget about the time. They are glad they found the white bag.
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bag of beans on a bench. They were curious and wanted to try them.
+
+"Look, beans!" Tom said. "Let's eat some. Maybe they are yummy."
+
+"I don't know, Tom," Mia said. "We don't know who left them here. Maybe they are bad for us."
+
+"Don't be silly, Mia," Tom said. "Beans are good. They make you strong and fast. Come on, just one."
+
+Tom took a handful of beans and put them in his mouth. He chewed and swallowed. He felt a strange feeling in his tummy. He smiled and said, "See, Mia? They are good. I feel great. I feel like I can speed."
+
+He ran around the park, faster and faster. He felt like he was flying. He laughed and shouted, "Whee! This is fun! Come on, Mia, join me!"
+
+Mia was worried. She saw Tom run too fast. She saw him run into the street. She saw a big car coming. She screamed, "Tom, stop! Car!"
+
+But Tom did not hear her. He did not see the car. He was too busy speeding. The car hit him. He flew in the air. He landed on the ground. He did not move. He did not laugh. He did not speed.
+
+Mia ran to him. She cried and cried. She wished she could help him. She wished he had listened to her. She wished they had not eaten the unknown beans.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not eat things that you do not know. They might be dangerous. Listen to your friends who care for you. Speeding is not always fun. It can hurt you.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big pile of mud near the pond. They run to the mud and start to make balls with their hands.
+
+"Look, I made a mud ball!" Anna says. She throws the mud ball in the air and catches it.
+
+"Me too!" Ben says. He throws his mud ball at a tree and it sticks to the trunk.
+
+They laugh and make more mud balls. They throw them at the trees, the rocks, and the ducks. The ducks quack and swim away.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" a voice says. Anna and Ben turn around and see a girl with purple hair. She is wearing a purple dress and purple shoes. She looks angry.
+
+"You are making a mess!" the girl says. "You are ruining my purple dress and my purple shoes!"
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They did not see the girl before. They did not mean to hit her with mud.
+
+"We are sorry," Anna says. "We were just playing."
+
+"Playing with mud is not fun," the girl says. "It is dirty and gross. You should play with something else."
+
+"Like what?" Ben asks.
+
+"Like this," the girl says. She takes out a purple ball from her purple bag. She throws the ball at Anna and Ben. The ball bounces off their heads and lands in the mud.
+
+Anna and Ben look at the ball. It is covered with mud. They look at the girl. She is smiling.
+
+"See? That is fun," the girl says. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They pick up the ball and wipe off the mud. They throw the ball to the girl. She catches it and throws it back.
+
+They play with the ball and the mud. They become friends. They have fun.
+Tim and Lily were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. They opened every drawer and box they could find. They found some toys, some books, some clothes, and some papers.
+
+"Look, Tim, I found a map!" Lily said, holding a sheet of paper with some lines and dots on it. "Maybe it leads to a treasure!"
+
+"Let me see!" Tim said, grabbing the paper from Lily. He looked at it and saw a big X in the corner. "Maybe it's in the basement. Let's go and see!"
+
+They ran out of their room and down the stairs. They opened the door to the basement and saw a dark and dusty room. They turned on the light and saw some old furniture, some boxes, and some tools.
+
+"Where is the X?" Lily asked, looking around.
+
+"Maybe it's behind that big drawer," Tim said, pointing to a wooden chest. "Let's move it and see!"
+
+They pushed and pulled the drawer, but it was very heavy. They tried harder and harder, until they heard a loud crack. The drawer broke and fell on top of them. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. They were trapped under the drawer and could not get out.
+
+They wished they had not played with the map. They wished they had stayed in their room. They wished someone would rescue them. But no one came.
+Sam and Lily are playing with a big box. They want to make a car with the box. They have wheels, a steering wheel, and a horn. But they need something to connect the horn to the steering wheel.
+
+"Look, I have a wire!" Sam says. He shows Lily a long, thin, metal thing. "We can use this to make the horn work."
+
+"Good idea, Sam!" Lily says. She helps Sam make a hole in the box. They put the wire through the hole. They tie one end of the wire to the horn and the other end to the steering wheel.
+
+"Now we can honk the horn when we drive the car!" Sam says. He gets inside the box and holds the steering wheel. Lily gets behind the box and pushes it.
+
+"Are you ready, Sam?" Lily asks.
+
+"I'm ready, Lily!" Sam says. He turns the steering wheel and honks the horn. "Beep beep!"
+
+They have fun driving the car around the room. They pretend to go to the park, the zoo, and the moon. They laugh and smile. They are happy. They like playing with the wire.
+Lily liked to build with blocks. She had many blocks of different colors and shapes. She could make towers, bridges, houses, and anything she wanted. She was very good at building.
+
+One day, she wanted to make a big structure with all her blocks. She worked hard and used all her blocks. She made a tall tower with a bridge and a house on top. She was very proud of her structure. It was amazing.
+
+She wanted to show her mom and dad her structure. She called them to come and see. But when they came, they did not see her structure. They saw a big mess of blocks on the floor. Lily's little brother, Max, had knocked down her structure. He was playing with the blocks and did not know they were Lily's structure.
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and shouted at Max. Max cried too. He did not mean to make Lily sad. He just wanted to play with the blocks. Mom and dad tried to calm them down. They said they were sorry and they hugged them.
+
+Lily sighed. She knew Max did not do it on purpose. But she was still sad. She had worked so hard on her structure. She did not want to build it again. She wanted to do something else. She asked mom and dad if they could go to the park. They said yes. They helped Lily and Max clean up the blocks. Then they went to the park. Lily and Max played on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They had fun. Lily forgot about her structure. She was happy.

+One day, Jen and Tom see a new car in the toy store. It is shiny and big and has lights and sounds. It is the most attractive car they have ever seen. They both want it very much. They ask their moms to buy it for them.
+
+But their moms say no. They say the car is too expensive and they already have enough cars. Jen and Tom are sad and angry. They decide to take the car without paying. They think they are very clever and no one will notice.
+
+They wait until the store is busy and then they grab the car and run out. They zoom away with their new car, feeling very happy and proud. They think they have success.
+
+But they are wrong. The store manager sees them and calls the police. The police catch them and take them back to the store. They scold them and make them return the car. They also call their moms and tell them what they did.
+
+Their moms are very disappointed and angry. They take them home and punish them. They take away all their cars and make them stay in their rooms. They also make them apologize to the store manager and the police.
+
+Jen and Tom are very sorry and ashamed. They wish they had not taken the car. They realize they were not clever or successful, but foolish and wrong. They learn a hard lesson. They lose their cars and their fun. They have a bad ending.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Velvet. Velvet had a soft dress and long hair. Lily liked to brush her hair and make her talk.
+
+One day, Lily decided to make Velvet marry her other doll, Ben. Ben was polite and had a nice hat. Lily put a ring on Velvet's finger and said, "Do you want to marry Ben, Velvet?"
+
+"Yes, I do," Velvet said in Lily's voice.
+
+"Then you are married," Lily said. She clapped her hands and hugged her dolls.
+
+But then, Lily's brother Tom came into the room. He saw Lily's dolls and grabbed them. He said, "These are my dolls now. You can't have them."
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She said, "No, Tom, give them back. They are mine. They are married."
+
+Tom laughed and said, "No, they are not. They are just toys. And I want them." He ran away with the dolls.

+Lily cried and cried. She wanted her dolls back. She wanted Velvet and Ben to be happy. But Tom was mean and did not care. He broke the dolls and threw them in the trash. Lily never saw them again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big tree with many green leaves. They wanted to pick some leaves and make a picture with them.
+
+They ran to the tree and reached for the leaves. But the tree was too tall and they could not get any. They tried to jump and climb, but they still could not reach. They felt sad and angry.
+
+"Why are you so mean, tree?" Lily shouted. "We just want some leaves to play with!"
+
+The tree did not answer. It just shook its branches and made a rustling sound.
+
+Lily and Ben started to weep. They sat on the ground and cried. They did not want to play anymore.
+
+A squirrel was watching them from the tree. He felt sorry for them. He liked to play with the leaves too. He had a big pile of them in his nest. He decided to share some with the children.
+
+He ran down the tree and picked up a leaf in his mouth. He ran to Lily and dropped the leaf in front of her. Lily stopped weeping and looked at the leaf. It was yellow and red and had a funny shape. She smiled and said, "Thank you, squirrel. You are very kind."
+
+The squirrel ran back to the tree and picked up another leaf. He ran to Ben and dropped the leaf in front of him. Ben stopped weeping and looked at the leaf. It was brown and orange and had a smooth edge. He smiled and said, "Thank you, squirrel. You are very clever."
+
+The squirrel ran back and forth and brought more leaves to Lily and Ben. They had many different colors and sizes and patterns. They were very pretty and fun to play with. Lily and Ben made a picture with the leaves on the grass. They made a sun, a flower, a house and a car. They were very happy and proud.
+
+The squirrel watched them from the tree. He was happy too. He thought they were adorable. He said, "You are welcome, children. You are very creative."
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big round thing that can turn. It has seats and horses and cars on it. Sara and Ben want to go on it.

+
+Sara and Ben hold Mom's hand and wait in line. They see other kids on the round thing. They look happy and excited. Sara and Ben want to be happy and excited too.
+
+When it is their turn, Mom helps them get on the round thing. Sara chooses a pink horse and Ben chooses a blue car. Mom sits next to them and buckles them up.
+
+"Are you ready?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+The round thing starts to turn. It goes faster and faster. Sara and Ben feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They see the park and the trees and the sky. They go up and down and around and around.
+
+"Whee!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+They feel high and free and fun. They wave to Mom and smile. They love the round thing. They want to go on it again and again.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with boats. They have a big tub of water in the garden. They put their boats in the water and make them sail.
+
+Tom has a red boat. It is new and shiny. Sam has a blue boat. It is old and cheap. Tom says his boat is better than Sam's boat. Sam says his boat is faster than Tom's boat. They start to fight.
+
+"Your boat is slow and ugly!" Tom shouts.
+
+"Your boat is silly and weak!" Sam shouts back.
+
+They push and pull each other's boats. They splash water on each other. They make angry noises.
+
+Mum hears them fighting. She comes to the garden. She sees the mess. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop fighting, boys!" Mum says. "You are making a big mess. And you are hurting your boats. Boats are for playing, not for fighting."
+
+Tom and Sam stop fighting. They look at their boats. They see they have scratches and dents. They feel sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Mum," Tom says.
+
+"Sorry, Mum," Sam says.
+
+Mum smiles. She hugs them.
+
+"It's OK, boys," Mum says. "But you need to be nice to each other. And to your boats. Why don't you share your boats and play together?"

+
+The train driver says they can sit in the train for a while. He shows them a rail inside the train. The rail is for holding on when the train moves. He says they can sit on the seats near the rail. The seats are soft and comfortable.

+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They stopped crying. They hugged Mom. Mom was angry. She looked at the man and said in a calm voice:
+

+
+Mom took Lily and Tom by the hand and walked out of the shop. They saw another shop across the street. It had a sign that said: "Toys for all. Cheap and cheerful." They smiled. They went to the other shop. They found nice toys that they could afford. They bought them and went home happy.

+
+They took the ring and ran to the closet. They found a box with old clothes and put the ring inside. Then they closed the box and the closet door.
+
+They forgot about the ring and played with other toys. They had fun until mom came home.
+
+"Hi, kids. How was your day?" mom asked.
+
+"Good, mom. We played a lot," Lily said.
+
+"Did you play with your toys or with my things?" mom asked.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They remembered the ring. They felt guilty.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We played with your ring. It was so shiny and we liked it. But we hid it in the closet. We can show you," Tom said.
+
+Mom was surprised and angry. She went to the closet and opened the box. She saw the ring. It was scratched and dirty.
+
+"Oh, no. This is my ring. It was a gift from your dad. It is very expensive and special. You should not play with it. You could have lost it or broken it. You should respect my things and ask me before you touch them," mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom felt bad. They knew they did wrong.
+
+"Mom, we are very sorry. We did not know it was a gift. We did not mean to hurt it. We will not play with your things again. Please forgive us," Lily said.
+
+Mom was still angry, but she loved her kids. She hugged them and said, "I forgive you, but you have to learn from this. You have to be honest and careful with other people's things. They may have a lot of value and meaning for them. You have to ask for permission and say thank you. And you have to play with your own toys. They are also nice and fun."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We love you."
+
+They gave mom the ring and said, "We are sorry. We hope you can fix it."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Thank you. I will try. I love you too."
+
+They learned their lesson and never played with mom's things again. They played with their toys and had fun. They were happy and good kids.
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. They have a big tank. The tank is heavy and green. It can make loud noises and shoot balls.
+
+One day, they take the tank to the park. They find a hill and put the tank on top. They pretend the tank is in a war. They say, "Boom! Boom! We are the best soldiers!"
+
+But then, they see a dog. The dog is big and brown. It runs to the tank and barks. It wants to play too. It bites the tank and shakes it. The tank falls off the hill and breaks. The balls roll away.
+
+Ben and Sam are sad. They cry and say, "No! No! Our tank is gone! Bad dog! Go away!"
+
+The dog is sorry. It does not want to make them cry. It licks their faces and wags its tail. It brings back the balls and drops them. It wants to say, "I am sorry. I just wanted to play. Can we be friends?"
+
+Ben and Sam stop crying. They look at the dog and the balls. They think for a moment. Then, they smile and say, "OK. You can play with us. But be gentle. Don't break our toys. We can share."
+
+They hug the dog and the dog licks them. They take the balls and the tank parts. They make a new game. They are happy again.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big squash plant that grew many squashes. Some were big and some were small. Some were green and some were yellow.
+
+One day, they saw a very small squash that was different. It was orange and it had spots. It was hiding under a leaf. Tom and Lily picked it up and looked at it. It was warm and soft. They liked it.
+
+They took it inside and put it on the table. They wanted to show it to Mom and Dad. But when it got dark, something strange happened. The squash started to glow. It glowed orange and yellow and red. It made the room bright and cozy.
+
+Tom and Lily were amazed. They ran to get Mom and Dad. They showed them the glowing squash. Mom and Dad were surprised too. They said it was a special squash. It was a pumpkin.
+
+They told Tom and Lily that pumpkins were for Halloween. They said they could carve it and make a face. They said they could put a candle inside and make it glow more. They said they could make pie and soup and seeds from it.
+
+Tom and Lily were happy. They hugged the pumpkin. They said it was not a poor squash. It was a wonderful squash. They said they loved it. They said they wanted to grow more pumpkins next year.
+Ben likes to play with his toys. He has many toys in his drawer. He has cars, balls, dolls, and books. He likes to shake his toys and make noise.
+
+One day, Ben wants to play with his cars. He opens his drawer and takes out his cars. He puts them on the floor and makes them go fast. He shakes them and says "vroom, vroom". He is happy.
+
+But then, he hears a loud crack. He looks at his drawer and sees that it is broken. The wood is split and the handle is loose. He is sad. He likes his drawer. He does not want to lose his toys.
+
+He runs to his mom and says "Mom, mom, my drawer is broken. I was playing with my cars and it broke. I'm sorry, mom". His mom hugs him and says "It's okay, Ben. It's not your fault. The drawer was old and cheap. We can get a new one. Don't worry, your toys are safe".
+
+She takes him to his room and helps him pick up his toys. She puts them in a big box and says "We will keep your toys here until we get a new drawer. You can still play with them anytime you want". Ben smiles and says "Thank you, mom. I love you". He gives her a big hug and a kiss. He is happy again.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. The balloon is pink and has a smiley face on it.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily says. "It is so pretty and happy!"
+
+Ben nods. He likes the balloon too. He stares at it with his big eyes. He wonders how it feels to fly in the sky.
+
+"Can we go to the balloon?" he asks Lily.
+
+Lily shakes her head. "No, we can't. It is too high and far. We have to stay on the ground."
+
+Ben feels sad. He wants to touch the balloon and make it his friend. He thinks the balloon is lonely in the sky.
+
+"Maybe we can make our own balloon," he says. "We can use paper and string and paint."
+
+Lily smiles. She thinks that is a good idea. She likes to make things with her hands. She says, "Yes, let's do that. We can make a little balloon and make it pink too."
+
+They run to the playground and find some paper and string and paint. They work hard and have fun. They make a little balloon and paint it pink. They tie it to a stick and hold it up.
+
+"Look, we have a balloon!" they say. "It is like the big one, but smaller and ours."
+
+They wave their balloon in the air. They hope the big balloon can see them and be happy too. They are happy and proud of their little balloon. They stare at it with love.
+Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play in their big house. They had many toys and games, but sometimes they got bored. One day, they decided to explore the rooms they were not allowed to go in. They sneaked past their mom, who was busy in the kitchen, and went upstairs.
+
+They found a door that was locked, but Tom had a key he had taken from his dad's drawer. He opened the door and they saw a room full of furniture. There were chairs, tables, lamps, mirrors, and paintings. The furniture was very old and beautiful. Sara and Tom admired the furniture and wanted to touch it.
+
+"Look at this chair, Tom. It has flowers and birds on it. Can I sit on it?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know, Sara. Maybe we shouldn't. Mom and dad said this room is special and we can't go in." Tom said.
+
+"But it's so pretty. Just for a minute. Please, Tom." Sara begged.
+
+"Okay, fine. But be careful. Don't break anything." Tom said.
+
+Sara smiled and climbed on the chair. She felt like a princess. She looked at herself in the mirror and made a pose. Tom watched her and laughed. He saw a lamp that had a shiny ball on it. He wondered what would happen if he touched it.
+
+He reached for the lamp and pulled the ball. Suddenly, the lamp made a loud noise and sparks flew out of it. The lamp fell on the floor and broke. The sparks set the curtains on fire. Sara and Tom screamed and jumped off the chair. They ran to the door, but it was locked. They had forgotten to take the key with them.
+
+They banged on the door and shouted for help. But no one heard them. The fire spread quickly and the smoke filled the room. Sara and Tom coughed and cried. They hugged each other and hoped someone would save them. But no one came. The furniture burned and the room turned black. Sara and Tom stopped breathing and fell asleep. They never woke up.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a shiny crown in their mom's closet. They decided to take turns wearing it and pretending to be kings and queens.
+
+"I am the queen of the castle, and you are my servant," Anna said, putting the crown on her head. "You must do everything I say."
+
+"No, I am the king of the jungle, and you are my lioness," Ben said, trying to grab the crown. "You must follow me and hunt."
+
+They started to tug and pull on the crown, but it was too heavy for them. It slipped from their hands and fell on the floor with a loud clang.
+
+"Uh-oh," they said together, looking at the crown. It had a big dent on one side, and some of the jewels had fallen off.
+
+They heard their mom coming up the stairs. They quickly hid the crown under a pillow and pretended to be asleep.
+
+"Hello, my sweeties," their mom said, entering their room. "Did you have a good nap?"
+
+"Yes, mom," they said, trying to sound innocent.
+
+Their mom smiled and kissed them on their cheeks. She was very intelligent and knew they were hiding something. She lifted the pillow and saw the crown.
+
+"Where did you get this?" she asked, holding the crown.
+
+They looked at each other and did not know what to say. They knew they were in trouble.
+
+The end.
+Anna loves to cook with her mom. She likes to stir the soup, roll the dough and sprinkle the cheese. Today, mom says they will make a cake for dad's birthday. Anna is eager to help.
+
+"Can I crack the eggs, mom?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sure, honey. Be careful not to spill them," mom says. She gives Anna a bowl and two eggs. Anna taps the eggs on the edge of the bowl and breaks them open. She pours the eggs into the bowl and smiles.
+
+"Good job, Anna. Now we need to add some flour, sugar and butter," mom says. She measures the ingredients and puts them in a big mixer. Anna watches as the mixer makes a smooth batter.
+
+"Can I lick the spoon, mom?" Anna asks.
+
+"Of course, honey. But not too much, or you will spoil your appetite," mom says. She gives Anna a spoon with some batter on it. Anna licks the spoon and says, "Yummy!"
+
+Mom pours the batter into a cake pan and puts it in the oven. She sets the timer and says, "Now we have to wait for the cake to bake. Do you want to help me decorate it?"
+
+"Yes, mom. I want to make dad happy," Anna says.
+
+They go to the cupboard and take out some frosting, sprinkles and candles. They wait for the timer to ring. Anna hears a knock on the door.
+
+"Who is it?" she asks.
+
+"It's me, dad. I'm home early," dad says.
+
+Anna runs to the door and opens it. She hugs dad and says, "Surprise! We made you a cake!"
+
+Dad smiles and says, "Wow, thank you, Anna and mom. You are the best. Can I see the cake?"
+
+Anna and mom take dad to the kitchen and show him the cake. It is a chocolate cake with white frosting, colorful sprinkles and five candles.
+
+"Happy birthday, dad. We love you," Anna and mom say.
+
+Dad blows out the candles and says, "I love you too. This is the best birthday ever."
+Tom and Mia went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. Tom liked the lions best. He wanted to roar like them. Mia liked the monkeys best. She wanted to swing like them.
+
+"Can we go see the lions again?" Tom asked Mom.
+
+"Can we go see the monkeys again?" Mia asked Dad.
+
+Mom and Dad looked at each other. They smiled.
+
+"OK, we can split up for a while," Mom said. "Tom, you come with me to the lions. Mia, you go with Dad to the monkeys. We will meet at the ice cream stand later."
+
+Tom and Mia were happy. They hugged Mom and Dad and went to their favorite animals.
+
+Tom and Mom walked to the lions. They were big and loud. Tom roared with them. He felt brave. Mom took a picture of him.
+
+Mia and Dad walked to the monkeys. They were small and fast. Mia swung with them. She felt fun. Dad took a picture of her.
+
+After a while, Tom and Mia got tired. They wanted to see each other and have ice cream.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the ice cream stand now?" Tom asked.
+
+"Dad, can we go to the ice cream stand now?" Mia asked.
+
+Mom and Dad nodded. They walked to the ice cream stand. They saw each other and waved.
+
+"Hi, Tom! Hi, Mia!" they said.
+
+"Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad!" they said.
+
+They hugged and showed each other their pictures. They were proud of their roars and swings.
+

+Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look at the stars. One night, they decided to camp in the backyard and watch the sky.
+
+"Look, Lila, there are so many stars!" Ben said, pointing at the bright dots.
+
+"They are very pretty, Ben. Do you know what they are?" Lila asked.
+
+Ben nodded. "They are big balls of fire, very far away. They are part of the universe."
+
+"What is the universe?" Lila wondered.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. "The universe is everything that is. The sky, the earth, the moon, the sun, and us. It is very big and deep."
+
+Lila gasped. "That is amazing, Ben. How do you know that?"
+
+Ben smiled. "My dad told me. He likes to read books about the universe. He says there are many things we don't know yet, but we can always learn more."
+
+Lila nodded. "That sounds fun. I want to learn more too. Maybe we can be explorers of the universe."
+
+Ben agreed. "That would be awesome, Lila. We can use our imagination and pretend we are in a spaceship."
+
+They held hands and looked at the stars again. They felt happy and curious. They wanted to see more of the universe, but they also wanted to remain friends forever.
+Ben and Lily love to go to the park with their mom. They like to play on the swings, the seesaw and the slide. The slide is their favorite, because it is big and fast and fun.
+
+One day, they go to the park and see something incredible. The slide is covered with ice-cream! Someone spilled a big bucket of ice-cream on the slide, and it looks like a yummy mountain. Ben and Lily are very excited. They run to the slide and want to taste the ice-cream.
+
+"Wow, look at all the ice-cream!" Ben says.
+
+"Can we eat it, mom?" Lily asks.
+
+Mom laughs and says, "Sure, you can have a little bit, but be careful. It might be cold and sticky."
+
+Ben and Lily take a spoon and scoop some ice-cream from the slide. They lick it and smile. It is delicious. They try different flavors: chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, mint. They share with each other and say, "Mmm, this is the best ice-cream ever!"
+
+Then they decide to slide on the ice-cream. They climb to the top of the slide and sit down. They hold hands and say, "Ready, set, go!" They slide down the ice-cream, laughing and screaming. They feel the cold and the sweet on their skin and clothes. They have so much fun.
+
+Mom watches them and smiles. She thinks they are very silly and very cute. She takes a picture of them with her phone. She says, "This is a very special day. You will always remember the ice-cream slide."
+Lily and Max were twins who loved to play outside. They liked to ride their bikes, climb trees, and make mud pies. But their favorite thing to do was to watch the parade that came to their town every year. They liked to see the big floats, the funny clowns, and the loud music.
+
+One day, before the parade, Lily and Max were playing in their backyard. They saw a big fence that separated their yard from the next one. They had never seen what was behind the fence, but they were very curious.
+
+"I dare you to climb the fence and see what's there," Lily said to Max.
+
+"No, you go first," Max said. "I dare you."
+
+They both looked at the fence and felt scared and excited. They wondered what they would find. Maybe a secret garden, or a friendly dog, or a treasure chest.
+
+Lily took a deep breath and said, "OK, I'll go. But you have to come with me."
+
+She grabbed Max's hand and they ran to the fence. They helped each other climb over it and jumped to the other side. They looked around and gasped.
+
+They had landed in the middle of the parade!
+
+They saw the big floats, the funny clowns, and the loud music, but they also saw the people who were watching the parade. They saw their mom and dad, their grandma and grandpa, and their friends. They all looked surprised and happy to see them.
+
+"Look, it's Lily and Max!" their mom shouted. "How did you get there?"
+
+Lily and Max smiled and waved. They felt proud and happy. They had done something brave and fun. They had seen the parade from a different angle.
+
+They had also learned a lesson. Sometimes, a dare can lead to a great adventure. But sometimes, it can also lead to trouble. They hoped their mom and dad would not be too serious with them. They hoped they would still get some candy and balloons from the parade.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. But today they have a quarrel. Tom wants to build a big tower with all the blocks. Anna wants to make a cell for her toy lion. She says the lion is sick and needs a healthy place to rest.
+
+"Give me the blocks, Tom!" Anna says. "No, they are mine!" Tom says. They pull and push the blocks. Some blocks fall down and hit the lion. The lion makes a loud roar.
+
+Anna and Tom are scared. They think the lion is angry. They stop fighting and look at the lion. The lion is not angry. He is happy. He likes the blocks. He picks up a block with his mouth and plays with it.
+
+Anna and Tom laugh. They are sorry for their quarrel. They decide to share the blocks. They build a big tower and a cell together. They put the lion in the cell and give him some water and grass. The lion is healthy and happy. Anna and Tom are friends again. They hug and say sorry. They play with the lion and the blocks. They have fun.
+Tom liked to write stories with his crayons. He wrote about the sun, the moon, the stars and the planets. He wrote about the animals, the plants, the people and the cars. He wrote about everything he saw and imagined. He wrote on paper, on cardboard, on walls and on tables. He wrote a lot.
+
+One day, he decided to write a big story about the universe. He found a big sheet of paper and some colorful crayons. He started to draw the sun, the moon, the stars and the planets. He drew them big and bright. He drew them with smiles and eyes. He drew them with names and friends. He drew a happy universe.
+
+His mom came to see what he was doing. She saw his big story and smiled. She said, "Tom, this is a wonderful story. You are very creative. I love your universe."
+
+Tom looked at his mom and smiled. He said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Do you want to write with me?"
+
+His mom said, "Yes, I do. Can I write something for you?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, you can. What do you want to write?"
+
+His mom said, "I want to write that you are my adorable son. And that I am very proud of you."
+
+She took a crayon and wrote on the paper. She wrote, "Tom, you are my adorable son. I am very proud of you."

+
+They hugged and kissed. They wrote some more stories together. They wrote a lot.
+Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and share them. But sometimes they wanted the same toy and they fought.
+
+One day, Mom gave them a new toy. It was a shiny car that could move by itself. Tom and Lily both wanted to play with it. They grabbed it and pulled it.
+
+"Give me the car!" Tom said.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said.
+
+They pulled harder and harder. The car broke in half. Tom and Lily cried.
+
+Mom heard them and came to see what happened. She saw the broken car and the twins.
+
+"What did you do?" Mom asked.
+
+"We wanted the car!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+Mom was sad and angry. She said, "You were selfish. You did not share. You did not care about the car. You only cared about yourself. Now the car is ruined and no one can play with it."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We were bad."
+
+Mom said, "You need to learn to be nice and share. You also need to say sorry to each other and hug."
+
+Tom and Lily said sorry to each other and hugged. They felt better.
+
+Mom said, "Now, let's go to the kitchen. I made steak for dinner. It's your favorite."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They liked steak. They followed Mom to the kitchen.
+
+On the way, they saw Dad. He was polishing his shoes. He said, "Hello, kids. How was your day?"
+
+Tom and Lily said, "We had a bad day. But we learned to be nice and share."
+
+Dad said, "That's good. I'm proud of you. Do you want to help me polish my shoes?"
+
+Tom and Lily said, "Yes, please!"
+
+They helped Dad polish his shoes. They made them shiny and clean. They had fun.
+
+They forgot about the broken car. They were happy.
+Lily likes to help her mom in the kitchen. She sees a big pot on the stove. It has soup inside. Lily wants to see the soup. She tries to lift the pot. But the pot is too heavy for her. She can't lift it.
+
+Mom sees Lily trying to lift the pot. She says, "No, Lily, don't touch the pot. It is hot. You can get hurt." She takes Lily away from the stove. She gives her a hug. She says, "I know you want to help, but the pot is not for you. You can help me with something else."
+
+Mom shows Lily a bowl of salad. It has lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. It looks pretty. Mom says, "You can help me with the salad. You can toss it with this spoon. That will make it yummy." Lily takes the spoon. She tosses the salad. She likes to see the colors. She says, "I like salad. It is pretty. Can I have some?" Mom says, "Yes, you can have some. But first, we have to wait for dad and Sam. They will be home soon. Then we can eat together." Lily says, "OK, mom. I will wait. I love you." Mom says, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good helper."
+Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big hole in the ground. They want to know what is inside. They go near the hole and look down. They see a lot of ants. The ants are busy and fast. They are carrying food to their home.
+
+Lila and Ben are curious. They want to feed the ants. They find some bread and cheese in their backpack. They break them into small pieces. They throw them into the hole. The ants are happy. They take the pieces and bring them to their home.
+
+Lila and Ben watch the ants for a long time. They see how the ants work together. They see how the ants make their home underground. They see how the ants are dirty but strong. They learn a lot from the ants. They say thank you to the ants and go back to their mom. They tell her what they saw and did. Mom is proud of them. She says they are smart and kind. She gives them a hug and a kiss.
+Lily and Tom were at the park with their mom. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. Lily liked the fountain. She said, "Look, mom, the fountain is pretty. Can I touch the water?"
+
+Mom said, "No, Lily, the water is dirty and cold. And the fountain is expensive. We have to be careful and not break it."
+
+Tom hated the fountain. He said, "The fountain is boring. I want to play with the ball. Can we go to the grass?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, Tom, we can go to the grass. But first, let's take a picture with the fountain. It will be a nice memory."
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and stood next to the fountain. Mom took out her phone and said, "Say cheese!"
+
+But then, a big dog ran by and bumped into mom. Mom dropped her phone and it fell into the fountain. The phone made a splash and stopped working.
+
+Mom said, "Oh no, my phone! It's ruined!"
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry for mom. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We love you."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, my loves. It's just a phone. You are more important to me than anything. But I think we should go home now. The fountain is not our friend today."
+Anna liked to balance on one foot. She did it every day in her room. She put on her favorite sweater. It was pink and soft and had a big flower on it. It was her original sweater. She got it from her grandma when she was a baby.
+
+She went to the living room and saw her brother Tom. He was playing with his cars on the floor. He had many cars, but they all looked the same. Anna thought they were boring. She wanted to show him her balance trick.
+
+She stood on one foot and lifted the other in the air. She smiled and said, "Look, Tom, I can balance!" She hoped he would be impressed.
+
+But Tom did not look at her. He kept playing with his cars. He did not care about her balance trick. He said, "So what? I can balance too." He stood on one foot and lifted the other in the air. He did not smile. He said, "See? It's easy."
+
+Anna felt sad. She thought her balance trick was special. She thought her sweater was special. But Tom did not think so. He did not like her sweater. He said, "Your sweater is ugly. It has a silly flower on it. Mine is better. It is blue and cool and has a star on it."
+
+Anna felt angry. She did not like his sweater. She said, "Your sweater is boring. It has a plain star on it. Mine is better. It is pink and original and has a beautiful flower on it."
+
+They started to argue. They raised their voices. They forgot to balance. They both fell on the floor. They both hurt their knees. They both cried.
+
+Mom heard them and came to the living room. She saw them on the floor. She saw their sweaters. She saw their tears. She hugged them and said, "Stop fighting. You are both silly. Your sweaters are both nice. They are both original. They are both from grandma. She made them for you with love. She wanted you to be happy and warm. She wanted you to be friends. Can you be friends?"
+
+Anna and Tom looked at each other. They felt sorry. They said, "Sorry." They hugged each other and said, "Friends." They smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, grandma. We love you. We love our sweaters. We love our balance tricks. Can we show you?" Mom smiled and said, "Yes, please. Show me your balance tricks. I'm sure they are amazing." They stood on one foot and lifted the other in the air. They laughed and said, "Look, mom, we can balance!" Mom clapped and said, "Wow, you can balance! You are both wonderful. You are both original. You are both my stars."
+Lily and Ben are friends who like to play in the snow. They make snowmen, snowballs and snow forts. But one day, they have a quarrel. They want to have a race on their sleds, but they cannot agree on where to start and where to finish.
+
+"I want to start from the big hill and finish at the fence," says Lily.
+
+"No, I want to start from the fence and finish at the big hill," says Ben.
+
+They argue and argue, and they do not listen to each other. They get angry and sad, and they stop playing.
+
+Then, they see a bird on a branch. The bird is shivering and hungry. It has no food and no shelter in the icy weather. Lily and Ben feel sorry for the bird. They forget their quarrel and decide to help the bird.
+
+They work together to make a nest for the bird out of twigs and leaves. They find some seeds and berries and put them in the nest. They gently lift the bird and place it in the nest. The bird chirps and flaps its wings. It looks happy and warm.
+
+Lily and Ben smile and hug each other. They realize that they are still friends, and that their race does not matter. They apologize and forgive each other. They go back to their sleds and have fun in the snow. They share their sleds and take turns on the big hill and the fence. They do not quarrel anymore. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big truck with many toys. They run to the truck and look at the toys. Lily sees a doll with a pink dress. She likes the doll. Ben sees a gun with a red light. He likes the gun.
+
+"I want the doll," Lily says to the man in the truck. "How much is the doll?"
+
+"Five dollars," the man says.
+
+"I have five dollars," Lily says. She gives the man the money and takes the doll.
+
+"I want the gun," Ben says to the man. "How much is the gun?"
+
+"Ten dollars," the man says.
+
+"I have ten dollars," Ben says. He gives the man the money and takes the gun.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy with their toys. They go to the bench and play. Lily makes the doll talk and dance. Ben makes the gun flash and beep.
+
+"Look at my doll," Lily says to Ben. "She is so pretty and original. She has a pink dress and blue eyes. Do you like my doll?"
+
+"Look at my gun," Ben says to Lily. "It is so cool and original. It has a red light and a loud sound. Do you like my gun?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other's toys. They do not like each other's toys. They like their own toys.
+
+"I do not like your gun," Lily says to Ben. "It is too noisy and scary. I like my doll. She is quiet and nice."
+
+"I do not like your doll," Ben says to Lily. "It is too boring and girly. I like my gun. It is fun and exciting."
+
+Lily and Ben are not happy anymore. They do not want to play together. They turn away from each other and play alone. They miss their friends.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the yard. They liked to dig holes and fill them with dirt, rocks, and leaves. Sometimes they found shiny things like coins or buttons. They pretended they were treasure hunters.
+
+One day, they saw a big black pile near the fence. It looked like rocks, but darker and dirtier. Sam wondered what it was. He ran to the pile and picked up a piece. It was hard and cold. He showed it to Mia.
+
+"Look, Mia, what is this?" he asked.
+
+Mia looked at the piece. She had seen it before. Her grandpa had a fireplace in his house, and he used this to make fire. She knew the word for it.
+
+"It's coal, Sam. It makes fire and smoke. Grandpa says it's very old and comes from the ground," she said.
+
+Sam was curious. He wanted to see how coal made fire. He had an idea. He filled his pockets with coal and ran to the house. Mia followed him. She was nervous. She knew they were not supposed to play with fire.
+
+Sam went to the kitchen and found a box of matches. He took one and struck it on the box. It made a bright flame and a hissing sound. He was excited. He put the match on a piece of coal and waited. Nothing happened. He tried another match. And another. The coal did not catch fire. He was confused and disappointed.
+
+Mia watched from the door. She was relieved. She did not want Sam to start a fire and get in trouble. She also did not want to get burned or breathe smoke. She decided to tell Sam the truth.
+
+"Sam, coal does not make fire by itself. You need paper and wood and air. And you need to be careful. Fire is dangerous. Grandpa says only grown-ups can use it," she said.
+
+Sam looked at Mia. He realized she was right. He felt silly and sorry. He put the matches and the coal back where he found them. He hugged Mia and said,
+
+"Thank you, Mia. You are a good sister. I'm sorry I was silly. Let's go back to the yard and play with dirt and rocks and leaves. They are more fun and safer than coal and fire."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big green hose. They can spray water with the hose. They spray the flowers, the grass and the bugs.
+
+One day, they see a big yellow bird in a tree. The bird is sleeping. Anna and Ben want to spray the bird. They think it is funny. They sneak up to the tree. They turn on the hose. They spray the bird.
+
+The bird wakes up. It is wet and angry. It squawks loudly. It flies down to Anna and Ben. It pecks their heads. It flaps its wings. It sprays water back at them.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared and sorry. They run away from the bird. They drop the hose. They say, "We are sorry, bird. We did not mean to spray you. We were just playing."
+
+The bird calms down. It sees that Anna and Ben are sorry. It is a generous bird. It forgives them. It says, "It is okay, children. But do not spray me again. I do not like it. I like to sleep in the tree. You can spray the flowers, the grass and the bugs. They do not mind."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Thank you, bird. You are very generous. We will not spray you again. We will spray the flowers, the grass and the bugs. They are fun to spray."
+
+The bird flies back to the tree. It goes back to sleep. Anna and Ben pick up the hose. They spray the flowers, the grass and the bugs. They have fun in the garden. They are careful not to spray the bird. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have different hair. Lily has long, black hair. Ben has short, red hair.
+
+One day, they see a new girl in the park. She has very modern hair. It is pink and blue and green. It is spiky and shiny. Lily and Ben think her hair is cool.
+
+"Hi, what is your name?" Lily asks the new girl.
+
+"My name is Zoe. I like your hair. It is long and black. It is pretty," Zoe says.
+
+"Thank you. I like your hair too. It is modern and colorful. It is fun," Lily says.
+
+"Hi, I am Ben. My hair is red. It is short and curly. It is nice," Ben says.
+
+"Hi, Ben. Your hair is red. It is short and curly. It is cute," Zoe says.
+
+They all smile and become friends. They play in the park. They have different hair, but they have the same fun.
+Tim and Sue like to play in the backyard. They have a big box that they pretend is a castle. They also have a fake lion that they made from lumber and paint. They take turns being the king or the queen of the castle, and the other one is the lion.
+
+One day, Tim is the king and Sue is the lion. She hides behind a bush and waits for Tim to come out of the castle. She wants to scare him and make him run away. She thinks of a loud roar that she can make.
+
+"Roar!" Sue jumps out of the bush and runs towards Tim. She tries to sound like a real lion, but her roar is more like a squeak.
+
+Tim sees Sue and laughs. He is not scared at all. He knows that Sue is not a real lion. He knows that her lion is fake. He picks up a stick and pretends it is a sword.
+
+"Ha! You are a silly lion, Sue. You cannot scare me. I am the king of the castle, and I have a sword. Go away, or I will poke you!" Tim says.
+
+Sue stops and pouts. She does not like that Tim is laughing at her. She does not like that her roar is not good. She wants to be a real lion, not a fake one.
+
+"Fine, Tim. You are a mean king. I do not want to play with you. I will find another castle, and another king, who will like my roar." Sue says.
+
+She picks up her fake lion and walks away. She looks for another place to play. She hopes that she will find a better roar.
+Lily and Max were friends who liked to play together. One day, they decided to pretend they were hairdressers and make each other look nice. They found some scissors, combs, clips and shampoo in Lily's bathroom.
+
+"Can I lend your shampoo, Lily?" Max asked. "I want to wash your hair and make it shiny."
+
+"Sure, Max. You can lend my shampoo. But be careful, don't cut too much of my hair. I like it long," Lily said.
+
+Max nodded and poured some shampoo on Lily's head. He rubbed it gently and made some bubbles. Lily giggled and closed her eyes. She liked how Max was playing with her hair.
+
+But then, Max saw a big bottle of purple shampoo on the shelf. He didn't know what it was, but he thought it looked fun. He was ignorant and curious. He grabbed the bottle and squeezed some purple shampoo on Lily's hair, too.
+
+"Max, what are you doing?" Lily cried. She opened her eyes and saw her hair was purple. She was shocked and angry. "That's not my shampoo, that's my mom's shampoo. She uses it to make her hair a different color. You ruined my hair, Max!"
+
+Max was scared and sorry. He didn't mean to make Lily sad. He tried to wash off the purple shampoo, but it didn't work. It stained Lily's hair.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know. I thought it was just shampoo. Please don't be mad at me," Max said.
+
+Lily was still mad, but she also felt sorry for Max. He was her friend, and he made a mistake. She knew he didn't do it on purpose.
+
+"It's okay, Max. I forgive you. But next time, don't use things you don't know. And don't lend things that are not yours. You have to ask first," Lily said.
+
+Max nodded and hugged Lily. He learned his lesson. He hoped Lily's mom wouldn't be too mad at them. He also hoped Lily's hair would go back to normal soon. They decided to stop playing hairdressers and play something else. They were still friends.
+Sara and Ben love to play with their toy jet. They pretend to fly it around the house and make zooming noises. One day, they decide to cook something for their jet. They find some bread, cheese, and jam in the kitchen and make a sandwich. They cut it into small pieces and put it on a plate.
+
+"Here you go, jet. This is your lunch," Sara says, holding the plate in front of the jet.
+
+"Thank you, Sara. You are very kind," the jet says in a funny voice. Ben is hiding behind the jet and making it talk.
+
+Sara and Ben laugh and feed the jet some sandwich. They think the jet likes it, because it makes happy noises.
+
+But then, they give the jet a piece with jam. The jet makes a sour face and spits it out.
+
+"Yuck! This is bitter. I don't like jam," the jet says.
+
+Sara and Ben are surprised. They taste the jam and find out that it is very bitter. They look at the jar and see that it is not jam, but mustard.
+
+"Oops! We made a mistake. This is not jam, this is mustard. Mustard is for hot dogs, not for sandwiches," Sara says.
+
+"Sorry, jet. We didn't mean to give you something you don't like. Do you want some water?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, please. Water will make me feel better," the jet says.
+
+Sara and Ben get some water and give it to the jet. The jet drinks it and smiles.
+
+"Thank you, Sara and Ben. You are very nice. I forgive you for the mustard. Can we play some more?" the jet says.
+
+"Of course, jet. We love to play with you. Let's fly to the moon!" Sara says.
+
+"Yay! Let's go!" Ben says.
+
+Sara and Ben pick up the jet and fly it around the house again. They make zooming noises and have fun. They forget about the bitter mustard and enjoy their sandwich. They are happy.
+Sara was excited to see a new book on the shelf. She loved books with pictures and stories. She wanted to read the book by herself. She took the book and went to her room.
+
+She opened the book and looked at the words. She did not know many words. She tried to sound them out. She tried to guess what they meant. She tried to follow the story. But the book was too hard for her. She felt sad and angry.
+
+She threw the book on the floor. She ripped the pages. She scribbled on the pictures. She shouted at the book. She did not want the book anymore. She wanted an easy book.
+
+Her mom heard the noise and came to her room. She saw the book on the floor. She saw the ripped pages and the scribbled pictures. She was very mad at Sara. She took the book and said, "Sara, this is a bad thing to do. This book is not yours. It is from the library. You have to pay for it. You have to say sorry. You have to go to bed early. No more books for you today."
+
+Sara cried and said, "But mom, I wanted to read the book. I tried to read the book. It was too hard for me. I did not like the book." But her mom did not listen. She took Sara to her bed and turned off the light. Sara felt very sorry and very sad. She wished she had not taken the book. She wished she had asked for help. She wished she had a different book. She wished she had a happy ending.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be different things. Ben liked to be a fireman and Lily liked to be a princess.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a fire truck!" Ben said, showing her his red toy. "I can put out fires and save people!"
+
+"That's cool, Ben!" Lily said, admiring his fire truck. "Can I see it?"
+
+"Sure, but be careful. It's my favorite toy," Ben said, handing it to her.
+
+Lily took the fire truck and looked at it. She saw a shiny button on the side. She wondered what it did. She pressed it, and a loud siren sounded. She was surprised and scared. She dropped the fire truck on the floor.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, you broke it!" Ben cried, picking up his fire truck. He saw that the button was loose and the siren was not working anymore. He was very sad and angry. "You are so careless, Lily! You ruined my fire truck!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to!" Lily said, feeling sorry and guilty. She wanted to make Ben happy again. She looked around and saw a roll of paper on the table. She had an idea. "Wait, Ben, I can fix it!"
+
+She ran to the table and grabbed the paper. She came back to Ben and said, "Look, Ben, I can wrap your fire truck with this paper. It will make it look new and pretty!"
+
+She started to wrap the fire truck with the paper, but she did not do a good job. She used too much paper and made a lot of wrinkles and tears. She also covered the wheels and the windows and the ladder. She did not notice that Ben was not happy. She smiled and said, "There, Ben, I fixed it! Do you like it?"
+
+Ben looked at his fire truck and felt more sad and angry. He did not like it at all. He thought it looked worse than before. He said, "No, Lily, I don't like it! You made it worse! You are so careless, Lily! You ruined my fire truck twice!"
+
+He snatched the fire truck from her and tore off the paper. He threw the paper on the floor and hugged his fire truck. He said, "Go away, Lily, I don't want to play with you anymore!"
+
+Lily felt more sorry and guilty. She also felt hurt and lonely. She said, "But, Ben, I was trying to help you! I'm sorry, Ben, please don't be mad at me!"
+
+She started to cry and ran to her room. She wished she had not pressed the button or wrapped the fire truck. She wished Ben would forgive her and play with her again. She wished they could be friends.
+Sara was shy. She did not like to talk to other kids. She liked to play with her drum. She made loud and soft sounds with it. She was happy with her drum.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide. She wanted to try it. She took her drum with her. She climbed up the stairs. She was ready to slide down.
+
+But then, a boy came. He was not shy. He was rude. He wanted to slide too. He did not wait for his turn. He pushed Sara. He said, "Move, move, I want to slide!"
+
+Sara was scared. She held her drum tight. She did not move. She said, "No, no, it is my turn!"
+
+The boy was angry. He poked Sara. He said, "Give me your drum, it is mine!"
+
+Sara was sad. She did not want to give her drum. She loved her drum. She said, "No, no, it is my drum!"
+
+The boy poked Sara again. He tried to take her drum. Sara cried. She said, "Help, help, mom!"
+
+Her mom heard her. She ran to the slide. She saw the boy and Sara. She said, "Stop, stop, what are you doing?"
+
+She took Sara in her arms. She said, "Are you okay, Sara? Did he hurt you?"
+
+Sara nodded. She said, "He poked me. He wanted my drum."
+
+Her mom said, "That is not nice. He should not poke you. He should not take your drum. He should say sorry."
+
+She looked at the boy. She said, "You, boy, why did you poke Sara? Why did you want her drum?"
+
+The boy was quiet. He looked down. He said, "I'm sorry. I like drums. I don't have a drum."
+
+Sara's mom said, "I see. But you should not take things that are not yours. You should ask nicely. Maybe Sara would share her drum with you. If you are nice to her."
+
+She looked at Sara. She said, "Sara, do you want to share your drum with him? He likes drums too. Maybe you can be friends."
+
+Sara was shy. She did not know the boy. But she saw that he was sorry. She saw that he liked drums. She liked drums too. She said, "Okay, I can share my drum. But you have to be nice. And you have to wait for your turn."
+
+The boy smiled. He said, "Thank you, Sara. I will be nice. And I will wait for my turn."
+
+Sara's mom said, "That is good. Now, you can play together. But be careful on the slide. And have fun."
+
+She gave Sara her drum. She watched them slide down. They made sounds with the drum. They laughed. They were happy. Sara was not shy anymore. She made a new friend.
+Lila loved her goat, Nana. Nana was a white goat with brown spots and horns. Nana was obedient and followed Lila everywhere. Lila liked to feed Nana grass and carrots and brush her fur.
+
+One day, Lila wanted to take Nana to the park. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I take Nana to the park?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you can, but you have to be careful. The park is big and there are many people and dogs. You have to hold Nana's leash and not let her run away."
+
+Lila nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will be careful and hold Nana's leash. Nana is obedient and will not run away."
+
+Lila and Nana walked to the park. They saw many flowers and trees and birds. They also saw many people and dogs. Some dogs barked at Nana and some people smiled at Nana. Lila said, "Hello, this is my goat, Nana. She is obedient and friendly."
+
+Some people and dogs wanted to pet Nana and play with her. Lila let them, but she always held Nana's leash and watched her. Nana liked to be petted and played with, but she always stayed close to Lila.
+
+Lila and Nana had a lot of fun at the park. They made new friends and saw new things. When it was time to go home, Lila said, "Thank you for playing with us. Bye-bye."
+
+Lila and Nana walked back home. They were happy and tired. Mom was waiting for them. She said, "How was the park?"
+
+Lila said, "It was great, mom. We met many people and dogs. Nana was obedient and did not run away. She is a good goat."
+
+Mom said, "I'm glad you had fun, Lila. And I'm proud of you and Nana. You are a good girl and Nana is a good goat."
+Tim and Sam were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find bugs. They had a big bucket full of worms and beetles. They were very happy.
+
+But then, a rat appeared from behind a bush. It was brown and furry and had a long tail. It saw the bucket and wanted to eat the bugs. It ran towards the bucket, making a squeaky noise.
+
+"Go away, rat!" Tim shouted. He picked up a stick and waved it at the rat. "These are our bugs, not yours!"
+
+But the rat was persistent. It did not care about the stick. It dodged and jumped and tried to reach the bucket. It was very hungry and brave.
+
+"Help, Sam!" Tim cried. He could not stop the rat by himself. He needed his friend.
+
+Sam heard Tim and ran to help him. He also grabbed a stick and joined Tim. Together, they swung their sticks at the rat. They made loud noises and scared the rat.
+
+The rat realized it could not get the bugs. It was outnumbered and outmatched. It gave up and ran away, back to the bush. It looked for another place to find food.
+
+Tim and Sam cheered. They had saved their bucket and their bugs. They hugged each other and smiled. They were very proud. They continued to play in the garden, happy and safe.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play with toys and eat jelly. One day, Lily has to go to grandma's house for a week. She is sad because she will miss Ben.
+
+"Bye, Ben. I will miss you a lot. Will you miss me?" Lily asks.
+
+"Of course, I will miss you, Lily. You are my best friend. I will save some jelly for you. Have fun with grandma," Ben says.
+
+Lily hugs Ben and gets in the car with mom. She waves goodbye and hopes to see Ben soon.
+
+Ben goes home and plays with his toys. But he feels lonely without Lily. He misses her voice and her smile. He misses sharing jelly with her. He tries to call her on the phone, but she is busy with grandma. He feels sad and bored.
+
+The next day, he sees a new girl in the park. She has curly hair and a pink dress. She is playing with a ball. Ben thinks she looks nice and wants to make a new friend.
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" he asks.
+
+"I'm Zoe. Do you want to play with me?" she asks.
+
+"Sure, I like to play. Do you like jelly?" he asks.
+
+"Jelly? That's a crazy word. I don't know what that is. I like candy and ice cream," she says.
+
+Ben is surprised. He thinks jelly is the best thing ever. How can she not know what jelly is? He thinks she is crazy. He doesn't want to play with her anymore. He wants to play with Lily. He misses Lily more than ever. He runs away from Zoe and goes home. He waits for Lily to come back. He hopes she will bring some jelly for him. He loves jelly and he loves Lily.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big tree and pretend they were birds. They found a branch that was unusual. It was very long and had many leaves.
+
+"Look, Ben, this branch is like a swing!" Lila said. She grabbed the branch and swung back and forth.
+
+"Wow, that looks fun!" Ben said. He wanted to try too. He waited for Lila to stop and then he took the branch.
+
+But when he swung, the branch broke. Ben fell to the ground and hurt his knee. He cried out loud.
+
+Lila ran to him and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben nodded, but he still felt sad. He said, "The branch was bad. It broke and made me fall."
+
+Lila said, "No, Ben, the branch was not bad. It was just old and weak. It could not hold us. It was not its fault."
+
+She reminded him of the time when they broke their toy car. They were not mad at the car. They just fixed it and played with it again.
+
+She said, "Maybe we can fix the branch too. We can find some string and tie it to another branch. Then we can swing again."
+
+Ben smiled. He liked Lila's idea. He said, "Okay, let's do that. You are a good friend, Lila."
+
+They got up and looked for some string. They found some in their backpack. They tied the branch to another branch. They tested it and it worked. They swung again and laughed.
+
+They had fun with the unusual branch. They forgot about their pain and their sadness. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily wanted to perform a show for their mom and dad. They put on their hats and coats and went outside to the snow. They made a big snowman with a carrot nose and a scarf. They also made some snowballs and a snow fort.
+
+"Look, mom and dad, we are ready to perform!" Tom shouted.
+
+Mom and dad came out of the house and sat on a bench. They clapped their hands and smiled.
+
+"OK, let's see your show," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily started to sing a song about the snowman. They danced around him and threw some snow in the air. They were having fun and making mom and dad laugh.
+
+But then, Lily was careless. She threw a snowball at Tom, but she missed. The snowball hit the snowman's head and knocked off his hat and nose.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried.
+
+The snowman looked sad and funny without his hat and nose. Tom was angry and threw a snowball back at Lily. They started to have a snow fight.
+
+"Stop, stop!" mom and dad said. "That's not a nice way to perform. You have to be careful and kind to each other and to the snowman."
+
+Tom and Lily stopped and looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They ran to the snowman and fixed his hat and nose. They hugged him and said sorry.
+
+"Can we still perform for you?" Tom asked.
+
+"Of course you can," dad said. "But this time, be nice and have fun together."

+They all had a happy and warm time in the snow.
+Tom and Ben were friends who liked to play chess. Chess was a game with black and white pieces that moved on a board. Tom and Ben learned how to play chess from their dads, who were very good at it.
+
+One day, Tom and Ben decided to play chess in the park. They brought their chess board and pieces and set them up on a bench. They took turns to move their pieces and try to catch the other's king. Tom was very good at chess and soon he had more pieces than Ben.
+
+"Check!" Tom said, as he moved his queen close to Ben's king. Ben looked at the board and saw that he had no way to save his king. He felt sad and angry. He did not like to lose.
+
+"That's not fair!" Ben shouted. He grabbed the board and threw it on the ground. The pieces flew everywhere and some of them broke. Tom was shocked and scared. He did not expect Ben to do that.
+
+"Why did you do that?" Tom asked. "That was my dad's chess board. He will be very mad at me."
+
+"I don't care!" Ben said. "You always win. You are a cheater. I don't want to play with you anymore. Go away!"
+
+Tom felt hurt and confused. He did not cheat. He just played well. He thought Ben was his friend, but now he was not. He picked up the broken pieces and ran away. He wanted to call his dad and tell him what happened, but he was afraid his dad would be angry too. He felt very troubled and alone. He wished he had never played chess with Ben.
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play and joke. One day, they find a big blue ball in the park. They think it is fun to kick the ball and roll it.
+
+But then, a mean dog comes. The dog is big and loud. It wants the ball. It runs to the ball and bites it. The ball pops. The dog runs away.
+
+Ben and Lily are sad. They liked the ball. They say, "That was a stupid dog. It ruined our ball. It was not funny. It was mean."
+
+They go to find another toy. They see a red bike. They think it is fun to ride the bike. They take turns on the bike.
+
+But then, a mean boy comes. The boy is big and rude. He wants the bike. He pushes Ben and Lily off the bike. He takes the bike and rides away.
+
+Ben and Lily are mad. They liked the bike. They say, "That was a stupid boy. He stole our bike. He was not nice. He was bad."
+
+They go to find another friend. They see a yellow duck. They think it is cute to feed the duck. They give the duck some bread.
+
+But then, the duck jokes. It does not eat the bread. It spits the bread at Ben and Lily. It quacks and laughs.
+
+Ben and Lily are surprised. They did not expect that. They say, "That was a funny duck. It joked with us. It was not mean. It was silly."
+
+They laugh with the duck. They play and joke. They forget the dog and the boy. They are happy.
+One day, a hunter went to the forest to look for food. He had a big bow and arrow, and a sharp knife. He saw a deer, and he wanted to catch it. He followed the deer quietly, and waited for a good chance to shoot.
+
+But the deer was not alone. Behind a big tree, a lion was also following the deer. The lion was hungry, and he thought the deer looked delicious. He did not see the hunter, and the hunter did not see him. The lion jumped out of the hiding place, and roared loudly.
+
+The deer heard the roar, and ran away fast. The hunter heard the roar, and turned around. He saw the lion, and he was scared. He dropped his bow and arrow, and ran away too. The lion chased the hunter, and the deer ran to safety.
+
+"Help, help!" the hunter shouted. "There is a lion after me!"
+
+A man and a woman heard the hunter's cry. They were walking in the forest, and they had a big dog with them. They saw the hunter running, and the lion behind him. They wanted to help the hunter.
+
+"Come here, come here!" the man said. "Our dog will scare the lion away!"
+
+The hunter ran to the man and the woman, and the dog barked at the lion. The lion stopped, and looked at the dog. The dog was big and strong, and he looked angry. The lion decided to leave the hunter alone, and find another meal. He turned around, and ran away too.
+
+The hunter was safe, and he thanked the man and the woman. He picked up his bow and arrow, and said goodbye. He learned a lesson that day. He learned to be careful in the forest, and not to follow the deer too close. He also learned to be grateful for the help of others, and to share his food with them. He gave the man and the woman some of his bread and cheese, and they gave him some of their fruit and nuts. They ate together, and they became friends. The dog also got a treat, and he wagged his tail happily. They all had a delicious meal, and a good day.
+Lily liked to play with her pink ball. She would throw it, catch it, bounce it and roll it. She had fun with her ball every day.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her pink ball with her. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She left her ball on the grass and ran to the slide.
+
+She slid down the slide and laughed. She liked the slide a lot. She wanted to slide again and again. She forgot about her ball.
+
+When she was tired of sliding, she looked for her ball. But she could not find it. She felt sad. She asked her mom and dad, "Where is my pink ball?"
+
+Her mom and dad looked around. They saw a boy holding a pink ball. He was walking away from the park. They said to Lily, "That boy has your ball. He took it when you were not looking. He made it disappear."
+
+Lily ran after the boy. She shouted, "Hey, that is my ball! Give it back to me!"
+
+The boy heard her and turned around. He saw Lily and smiled. He said, "I like your ball. It is pink and pretty. Can I have it?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She said, "No, you cannot have it. It is mine. I love it. You should not take things that are not yours. That is not nice."
+
+The boy looked at Lily. He saw that she was sad and angry. He felt sorry. He said, "I am sorry. I did not mean to make you sad and angry. I just wanted to play with your ball. Here, you can have it back."
+
+He gave the ball to Lily. Lily took it and hugged it. She said, "Thank you. I am glad you gave it back to me. Do you want to play with me and my ball?"
+
+The boy nodded. He said, "Yes, I do. You are very kind. Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, we can. You are very sorry. Come on, let's go to the slide."
+
+They ran to the slide and played together. They had fun with the pink ball and the slide. They became friends.
+
+Lily's mom and dad watched them. They were happy. They said to each other, "Lily is very wise. She knows how to share and forgive. She made a new friend today."
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hedge near the park. They wanted to see what was behind it.
+
+"Let's go and look," said Lily.
+
+"OK, but be careful," said Tom.
+
+They crawled under the hedge and found a secret garden. There were flowers, trees, and a pond. They enjoyed exploring the garden and smelling the flowers.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a fierce lion. It had escaped from the zoo and was hiding in the garden.
+
+"Run!" shouted Tom.
+
+They ran back to the hedge as fast as they could. The lion chased them, but it was too big to fit under the hedge. It roared again and then went away.
+
+Lily and Tom were safe, but they were very scared. They hugged each other and decided to never go near the hedge again.
+
+"Let's go home," said Lily.
+
+"Yes, let's go home," said Tom.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a bicycle near the park. It is big and red. It has two wheels and a bell.
+
+"Wow, look at that bicycle!" Tom says. "It is so cool. Can we ride it?"
+
+"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe it belongs to someone. Maybe they will be angry if we touch it."
+
+Tom does not listen. He runs to the bicycle and tries to climb on it. He is too small. He cannot reach the pedals. He falls down and hurts his knee.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cries. "It hurts!"
+
+Anna runs to Tom and helps him up. She holds his hand and says, "Don't cry, Tom. It is okay. I have a band-aid in my pocket. I will put it on your knee."
+
+She takes out a band-aid and sticks it on Tom's knee. Tom stops crying. He smiles and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend."
+
+They hear a loud voice. It is a man. He is holding a leash. He has a big dog. The dog is barking. The man is angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids! What are you doing with my bicycle? That is my bicycle! You are crazy! Get away from it!"
+
+Tom and Anna are scared. They drop the bicycle and run away. They hide behind a tree. They hug each other and say, "That was a bad bicycle. That was a bad man. That was a bad dog. Let's go home."
+
+They hold hands and run home. They never play with the bicycle again. They play with their own toys. They are happy.

+Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They had a furry ball that was good for kicking. It was red and white and looked like a football. They took turns to kick the ball and run after it.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was brown and had long ears. It looked friendly, but it also looked hungry. It saw the furry ball and ran towards it. Ben and Lily were scared. They did not want the dog to take their ball.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Ben shouted. He tried to get the ball before the dog, but he was too slow. The dog grabbed the ball with its teeth and ran away.
+
+"Come back, dog!" Lily cried. She ran after the dog, but she could not catch it. The dog was faster and stronger. It ran to the other side of the park and disappeared.
+
+Ben and Lily were sad. They had lost their furry ball. They did not have anything to play with. They sat on a bench and looked at the ground.
+
+"Maybe the dog will bring it back," Ben said. He hoped the dog was nice and not mean.
+
+"Maybe," Lily said. She did not think so. She thought the dog liked the ball too much.
+
+They waited for a long time, but the dog did not come back. They decided to go home and tell their mom what happened. Maybe she would buy them a new ball. They hoped so. They liked to play in the park with their furry ball.
+Sam liked to play with his model cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He kept them in a big box under his bed. Sometimes he would take them out and make them race on the floor or on his rug.
+
+One day, Sam heard his mom call him from the kitchen. "Sam, it's time for lunch. Come and wash your hands." Sam did not want to stop playing. He wanted to finish his race. He had a hidden car that he wanted to use as a surprise. He said to his mom, "Just a minute, mom. I'm almost done."
+
+But his mom did not hear him. She thought he was coming. She went to the table and put his plate and cup. She waited for Sam, but he did not come. She called him again, louder. "Sam, come on. Your food is getting cold. Don't make me come and get you."
+
+Sam heard his mom, but he still wanted to play. He said to himself, "One more lap, then I'll go." He took out his hidden car. It was a shiny red car with a big engine. He put it on the floor and made it zoom past the other cars. He said, "Ha! I win. You can't catch me."
+
+But he did not see his little sister, Lily, who was crawling on the floor. She saw the shiny red car and wanted to play with it. She reached out her hand and grabbed it. She put it in her mouth and made a noise. "Mmm, yummy."
+
+Sam saw Lily and got angry. He shouted, "Hey, that's my car. Give it back. That's not food. That's my model." He ran to Lily and tried to take the car from her. But Lily did not want to let go. She bit the car and made a louder noise. "No, mine. Mine."
+
+Sam and Lily started to fight over the car. They pulled and pushed and cried. Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them and got worried. She said, "What are you doing? Stop that. You could hurt each other. And what is that in your mouth, Lily? Spit it out. That's not a toy. That's a model."
+
+She took the car from Lily and checked if she was okay. She saw that the car was broken and had teeth marks. She said, "Oh, Sam. I'm sorry. Your car is ruined. How did this happen?"
+
+Sam felt sad and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was playing with my cars and I didn't come when you called me. I had a hidden car that I wanted to use as a surprise. But Lily saw it and took it and bit it. I tried to get it back, but she wouldn't give it. I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily."
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "It's okay, Sam. I know you love your cars. But you have to listen when I call you. And you have to share with your sister. She's too little to know better. Maybe we can fix your car or get you a new one. But first, let's go and have lunch. You must be hungry."
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm hungry. And I'm sorry. Can I say sorry to Lily too?"
+
+His mom smiled and said, "Of course, you can. She's your sister. She loves you too. Come on, let's go."
+
+Sam and Lily hugged and said sorry to each other. Then they went to the kitchen and had lunch. They ate their food and drank their juice. They were happy again. They forgot about the car. They had each other.
+Lily liked to play the flute. She had a blue flute that made nice sounds. She played the flute every day after school. She played songs that she learned from her teacher and songs that she made up.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to play the flute with her friend Sam. Sam had a red drum that made loud sounds. He liked to bang the drum very hard. Lily went to Sam's house and asked him to play with her.
+
+"Hi, Sam. Do you want to play the flute and the drum with me?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, Lily. That sounds fun. Let me get my drum," Sam said.
+
+They went to the backyard and started to play. Lily played the flute softly and sweetly. Sam played the drum loudly and roughly. They did not sound good together. Lily asked Sam to play the drum more quietly.
+
+"Sam, can you play the drum more quietly? Your drum is too loud. It makes my flute sound bad," Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily. I like to play the drum loud. It makes me happy. You play the flute more loudly. Your flute is too quiet. It makes my drum sound bad," Sam said.
+
+They argued and got angry. They stopped playing and went to their own houses. They were not friends anymore.
+
+The next day, Lily felt sad. She missed Sam. She wanted to play with him again. She remembered that they used to have fun together. She remembered that they liked different things, but they also liked some things the same. She remembered that they were friends.
+
+She decided to go to Sam's house and say sorry. She took her flute and a flower. She knocked on Sam's door.
+
+"Hi, Sam. I'm sorry for yesterday. I was bad. I should have listened to you. Can we be friends again?" Lily said.

+Lily and Ben were excited to travel with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. They drove for a long time and saw many things. They saw cows, trees, bridges, and mountains.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Lily asked.
+
+"Soon, sweetie. We are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They live in a big house by the lake. You will love it there," Mom said.
+
+Ben nodded. He liked Grandma and Grandpa. They always had fun stories and games. And they always made yummy food.
+
+When they arrived, Grandma and Grandpa hugged them and welcomed them inside. They showed them their room and their toys. Then they called them for dinner.

+
+Every day, Lily sang and danced in her room. She learned the words and the moves. She remembered them by heart. She was very happy and excited.
+
+The day of the show came. Lily put on her pretty dress and her shiny shoes. She went to the school with her mom. She saw the stage. It was big and bright. She felt a little scared.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily," her mom said. "You can do it. You are very good. Just remember to have fun and smile."
+
+Lily nodded. She hugged her mom and went to the backstage. She waited for her turn. She heard the music start. She walked to the stage. She saw the people. They were many and loud. She felt very scared.
+
+She wanted to run away. But then she saw a friendly face. It was her teacher, Miss Lee. She smiled at Lily and gave her a thumbs up. She said, "You are amazing, Lily. Just be yourself and enjoy the show. I'm very proud of you."

+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a pipe in the grass. It is long and shiny.
+
+"Look, a pipe!" Tim says. "What can we do with it?"
+
+"Maybe we can blow bubbles with it," Sam says. He puts the pipe in his mouth and blows. But nothing comes out.
+
+"It does not work," Sam says. He gives the pipe to Tim.
+
+Tim tries to blow bubbles too. But he also gets nothing. He is sad.
+
+"Let's ask Dad," Tim says. "He knows everything."
+
+They run to the house with the pipe. They find Dad in the kitchen. He is making a cake.
+
+"Dad, Dad, look what we found!" Tim says. He shows him the pipe.
+
+"Wow, that's a nice pipe," Dad says. He is calm. He smiles.
+
+"What is it for?" Sam asks. "Can we blow bubbles with it?"
+
+Dad laughs. He shakes his head.
+
+"No, boys, this is not a bubble pipe. This is a water pipe. It is for the plants. It has holes in it. When you turn on the tap, water comes out of the holes and makes the plants happy."
+
+"Can we see?" Tim asks.
+
+"Sure, let's go to the garden," Dad says. He takes the pipe and the boys. He connects the pipe to the tap. He turns on the water.
+
+The pipe makes a funny noise. Then water sprays out of the holes. The boys are amazed. They laugh and jump. They get wet and have fun.
+
+The pipe is not a bubble pipe. But it is a fun pipe. Tim and Sam are happy. They thank Dad for showing them. They hug him.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big calendar on the wall. The calendar has pictures of animals and numbers.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben are bored. They want to do something fun. They look at the calendar and see a picture of a panda. They like pandas. They decide to pretend to be pandas.
+
+They put on black and white clothes and make panda ears with paper. They crawl on the floor and make panda noises. They find a ball and roll it to each other. They have fun.
+
+"Look, Ben, we are pandas!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, we are, Lily. We are cute and fluffy!" Ben says.
+
+They roll the ball back and forth. They laugh and giggle.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She is coming to their room. She is alert. She smells something bad.
+
+"Lily and Ben, what are you doing?" Mom says. "Why do you have black and white clothes and paper ears? And what is that smell?"
+
+Lily and Ben stop playing. They look at each other. They remember something. They forgot to change their diapers. They are not pandas. They are babies.
+
+They feel shy and sorry. They drop the ball and the paper ears. They say to mom:
+
+"Sorry, mom. We are not pandas. We are babies. We need new diapers."
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She says:
+
+"It's okay, Lily and Ben. I love you, pandas or babies. But you need to change your diapers. And you need to clean up your room. And you need to learn the days of the week. Do you know what day it is today?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at the calendar. They see the picture of the panda and the number. They say together:
+
+"Today is Monday. Monday is panda day!"
+Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the woods near their homes. They were very creative and made up stories and games with sticks and stones and leaves.
+
+One day, they found a creek in the woods. It was a small creek, but it had clear water and shiny fish. Lila and Sam decided to build a bridge over the creek with some big sticks. They worked hard and had fun.
+
+"Look, we made a bridge!" Lila said. "Now we can cross the creek and explore the other side."
+
+"Let's go!" Sam said. They held hands and walked over the bridge. They felt proud and happy.
+
+But when they reached the other side, they heard a loud snap. They turned around and saw that their bridge had broken. The sticks had fallen into the water and floated away.
+
+"Oh no!" Lila said. "Our bridge is gone! How will we get back?"
+
+Sam felt scared. He did not like the other side of the creek. It was dark and strange. He did not see any other way to cross the water.
+
+He started to cry. "I want to go home!" he sobbed.
+
+Lila hugged him. She felt scared too, but she wanted to be brave for Sam. She looked around and saw a big log near the creek. It was long and thick and had a smooth top.
+
+She had an idea. She wiped her tears and said, "Don't cry, Sam. I have a plan. We can use this log as a boat. We can push it into the water and sit on it. Then we can paddle with our hands and go back to our side."
+
+Sam looked at the log. He was not sure if it would work, but he trusted Lila. He nodded and said, "OK, let's try."
+
+They worked together and pushed the log into the creek. They climbed on it and sat in the middle. They used their hands as paddles and moved the log slowly across the water.
+
+They were careful not to fall off or get wet. They saw their bridge sticks floating by and waved goodbye to them.
+
+They reached their side and jumped off the log. They were happy and relieved. They hugged each other and said, "We did it! We are back!"
+
+They ran back to their homes and told their parents what happened. Their parents were glad they were safe and praised them for being creative and brave.
+
+Lila and Sam smiled and said, "We are best friends. We can do anything together."
+Mira likes to wash her hands before she eats. She knows it is polite and good for her health. She has a special song that she sings when she washes her hands. It goes like this:
+
+I wash my hands with soap and water
+I wash them front and back and in between
+I wash them for twenty seconds or longer
+I wash them so they are nice and clean
+
+One day, Mira went to visit her grandma. Grandma made her some yummy cookies and milk. Mira wanted to eat them, but she remembered her song. She asked grandma if she could wash her hands first. Grandma smiled and said yes. She took Mira to the bathroom and gave her some soap and a towel. Mira started to sing her song as she washed her hands. Grandma listened and clapped her hands. She said, "What a lovely song, Mira! You are such a polite and smart girl. I am very proud of you." Mira smiled and hugged grandma. She said, "Thank you, grandma. I learned the song from mommy. She says it helps me stay healthy and happy." Grandma and Mira went back to the kitchen and enjoyed the cookies and milk. They also sang the song together and had a lot of fun.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was running and barking with a ball in his mouth.
+
+"Look, mom, a dog!" Ben said, pointing at the dog.
+
+"Yes, that's a dog. He looks very happy and excited, doesn't he?" mom said.
+
+"Can we pet him, mom? Can we?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom looked at the dog and his owner, who was sitting on a bench. She smiled and said, "Maybe, but we have to ask first. We can't touch a dog without his owner's permission. That's not nice."
+
+Mom and the kids walked over to the bench and said hello to the owner. She was a nice lady with a hat and glasses. She smiled and said, "Hello, do you like my dog? His name is Max."
+
+"We like him very much. He's very cute and excited. Can we pet him, please?" Ben and Lily said together.
+
+"Of course, you can. Max loves to make new friends. He's very friendly and gentle. Just be careful not to pull his ears or tail, okay?" the lady said.
+
+"Okay, we won't. Thank you!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+They petted Max and threw his ball for him. Max wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was very happy and excited. Ben and Lily were happy and excited too. They had a lot of fun with Max and his owner.
+
+"Mom, can we have a dog like Max?" Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe someday, honey. But for now, we can enjoy playing with Max whenever we see him in the park. He's a very good dog, isn't he?" mom said.
+
+"Yes, he is. He's the best dog ever!" Lily said.
+
+They thanked the lady and Max for letting them play with them. They said goodbye and went back to their own games. They never forgot to mention Max whenever they talked about the park. He was their new friend and they loved him very much.
+Lily loved to collect balloons. She had many balloons of different colors and shapes in her room. She liked to blow them up and tie them to her bed, her chair, her toys, and her hair. She thought they were adorable and made her happy.
+
+One day, she saw a big red balloon in the park. It was bigger and brighter than any balloon she had ever seen. She wanted it very much. She ran to the balloon and tried to grab it, but it was tied to a bench. She looked around and saw a man sitting on the bench. He was reading a book and did not notice her.
+
+"Excuse me, sir, can I have your balloon?" Lily asked politely.
+
+The man looked up and saw Lily. He smiled and said, "Sure, you can have it. It's a gift for my niece, but she's not here yet. You can take it if you like."
+
+Lily was overjoyed. She thanked the man and untied the balloon. She held it tightly and ran back to her mom, who was waiting for her near the swings.
+
+"Look, mom, look what I got!" Lily shouted, showing her the balloon.
+
+"That's a very nice balloon, honey. Where did you get it?" her mom asked.
+
+"A nice man gave it to me. He said it was a gift for his niece, but she's not here yet. So he let me have it," Lily explained.
+
+Her mom frowned. She had a bad feeling about this. She looked around and saw the man on the bench. He was looking at them with a strange expression. He did not look nice at all. He looked angry and mean.
+
+"Lily, I think we should give the balloon back. It's not ours. It belongs to his niece. Maybe she's coming soon. We don't want to make him or his niece sad, do we?" her mom said.
+
+Lily did not want to give the balloon back. She loved it too much. She shook her head and said, "No, mom, no. It's mine. He gave it to me. He said I can have it. I want it. I want it. I want it."
+
+Her mom tried to reason with her, but Lily would not listen. She held the balloon tighter and started to cry. She did not notice that the balloon was getting bigger and bigger. It was filling up with air and stretching. It was about to pop.
+
+The man on the bench saw this. He knew what was going to happen. He had planned it all along. He had filled the balloon with something that would make a loud noise and scare Lily. He wanted to teach her a lesson for taking his balloon. He wanted to make her cry. He was a very bad man.
+
+He watched as the balloon grew and grew. He waited for the right moment. He smiled wickedly and said, "Three, two, one..."
+
+BOOM!
+
+The balloon exploded. It made a huge noise. It scared Lily and her mom. It scared everyone in the park. Lily dropped the balloon and screamed. She was very scared and very sad. She had lost her balloon. She had lost her happiness.
+
+She ran to her mom and hugged her. Her mom hugged her back and tried to comfort her. She was very sorry and very angry. She had trusted the man. She had been fooled by him. He had hurt her daughter. He had hurt her feelings.
+
+She looked at the man on the bench. He was laughing. He was very happy. He had done what he wanted. He had made Lily cry. He had made her pay.
+
+He did not see the big dog that was running towards him. The dog did not like the noise. The dog did not like the man. The dog wanted to bite him. The dog wanted to make him cry.
+
+The dog jumped on the man and knocked him down. The man screamed. He was very scared and very hurt. He had lost his book. He had lost his smile.
+
+He ran away from the dog and the park. He never came back. He never saw his niece. He never gave her a gift.
+
+He was a very bad man. He got what he deserved.
+Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Maybe there is a treasure," Tom said.
+
+"Or a monster," Anna said.
+
+They walked to the tree and looked in the hole. It was dark and they could not see anything.
+
+"Hello, is anyone there?" Tom shouted.
+
+A voice came from the hole. It was deep and strange.
+
+"Who are you?" the voice asked.
+
+"We are Tom and Anna. We are playing in the park. Who are you?" Tom answered.
+
+"I am the keeper of the tree. I have a staff that can do magic. Do you want to see?" the voice said.
+
+Tom and Anna were curious and scared. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Can we see your staff?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, but you have to come inside the hole. It is very cozy and warm," the voice said.
+
+Tom and Anna looked at each other. They did not know if they should trust the voice. It sounded mysterious and friendly, but also a little scary.
+
+"What do you think?" Tom asked Anna.
+
+Anna shrugged. She did not know either.
+
+"Maybe we should go back to the swings," she said.
+
+"Or maybe we should see the staff. It might be fun," Tom said.
+
+They could not decide. They stood by the hole and waited. The voice did not say anything more.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, their mom gave them each a plate of food. Ben had a sandwich, some chips, and a carrot. Lily had a sandwich, some grapes, and a broccoli.
+
+"Yuck, I don't like broccoli," Lily said. "Can I have a carrot like Ben?"
+
+"No, you have to eat your broccoli. It is a vegetable and it is good for you," Mom said.
+
+"But I want a carrot. Carrots are vegetables too. And they are orange and crunchy and sweet," Lily said. She looked at Ben's plate and felt envious.
+
+Ben saw that Lily was unhappy. He liked his sister and wanted to share with her. He took his carrot and broke it in half. He gave one half to Lily and kept the other half for himself.
+
+"Here, Lily. You can have some of my carrot. And I can have some of your broccoli. Then we can both have two vegetables," Ben said.
+
+Lily smiled and took the carrot. She gave Ben some of her broccoli. They both ate their food and enjoyed it.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother," Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. You are a good sister," Ben said.
+
+Mom was proud of her twins. She gave them each a hug and a kiss.
+
+"That was very nice of you, Ben, to share with Lily. And that was very nice of you, Lily, to try something new. I love you both very much," Mom said.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. But they do not like the big dog that lives near the park. The big dog is loud and scary. Sometimes he barks and chases them.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see the big dog coming. They run to the slide. They climb up and slide down. But the big dog is fast. He runs to the slide too. He jumps and tries to catch them.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Mia shout. They are afraid. They tremble. They do not know what to do.
+
+Then they see Sam. Sam is older. He is popular. He is good at soccer. He is not afraid of the big dog. He hears Tom and Mia. He runs to the slide. He picks up a stick. He waves it at the big dog.
+
+"Go away! Go away!" Sam says. He is brave. He is strong. He makes the big dog go away. He saves Tom and Mia.
+
+"Thank you! Thank you!" Tom and Mia say. They are happy. They are safe. They hug Sam. They think he is a hero. They think he is a success. They want to be his friends. They invite him to play with them.

+Sam and Lily are twins. They like to play together. They have a big yard with many flowers. Mom says they can pick some flowers for her. That is their job today.
+
+Sam and Lily run to the yard. They see many colors. They see red, yellow, pink, and purple. They want to pick them all. They start to pick fast. They want to fill their baskets.
+
+But Sam and Lily do not share. They want the same flowers. They start to fight. They pull and push. They yell and cry. They make a mess. They hurt the flowers. They hurt each other.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the yard. She sees the mess. She sees the tears. She is angry. She says, "Stop! You are not doing your job. You are being bad. You are not picking flowers. You are picking fights."
+
+Sam and Lily feel sorry. They want to say sorry. But they are too late. Mom takes their baskets. She says, "No flowers for you. Go to your room. You are in trouble." She walks away.
+
+Sam and Lily are sad. They are dizzy. They have no flowers. They have no fun. They have a bad ending.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a kite in the park. It is big and red and has a long tail.
+
+"Wow, look at this kite!" Anna says. "Can we fly it?"
+
+"Sure, let's try!" Ben says. He takes the string and runs with the kite. The kite goes up in the air and dances with the wind.
+
+Anna claps her hands and laughs. "It is so pretty! Can I have a turn?"
+
+"Okay, here you go!" Ben says. He gives the string to Anna. She holds it tight and watches the kite.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. It is black and furry and has sharp teeth. It sees the kite and thinks it is a toy. It barks and runs towards the kite.
+
+"Uh-oh, watch out!" Ben says. "The dog wants the kite!"
+
+Anna is scared. She does not want the dog to bite the kite. She does not want to let go of the string. She does not know what to do.
+
+"Help, help!" she cries.
+
+Ben is brave. He is a reliable friend. He picks up a stick and waves it at the dog. He shouts, "Go away, go away! This is our kite, not yours!"
+
+The dog is surprised. It stops and looks at Ben. It does not like the stick. It does not like the shouting. It decides to leave the kite alone. It turns around and runs away.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They hug each other and smile. They have saved the kite. They are proud of themselves.
+
+"Thank you, Ben!" Anna says. "You are a good friend. You are reliable."
+
+"You are welcome, Anna!" Ben says. "You are a good friend, too. You are brave."
+
+They hold hands and walk back to the park. They fly the kite again and have fun. They are the best friends ever.
+Lila and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build towers, houses, bridges and more. They have fun making things with blocks.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben decide to make a big tower with all their blocks. They stack the blocks higher and higher, until the tower is taller than them. They are very proud of their tower. They want to show it to Mom and Dad.
+
+But then, Ben sees a red block on the floor. He likes red blocks. He wants to add it to the tower. He runs to get the red block. He does not see Lila's foot. He steps on Lila's toe. Lila says "Ow!" and cries. Ben says "Sorry!" and drops the red block.
+
+The red block hits the tower. The tower is heavy. It cannot stand. It falls down. The blocks split and fly everywhere. The tower is gone. Lila and Ben are sad. They look at the mess.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise. They come to see what happened. They see Lila and Ben and the blocks. They hug Lila and Ben. They say "It's okay. It was an accident. We can help you clean up.

+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, they are pretty, Lily. Do you know what they are called?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not know the names of the birds. Mom told her some of the names: robin, sparrow, pigeon, and duck. Lily repeated the names and tried to remember them.
+
+Ben did not care about the birds. He wanted to play on the swings. He ran to the swings and pushed one with his hand. He tried to climb on it, but it was too high for him. He could not reach the seat. He felt sad and angry. He frowns and said, "No fair! Swing too high! I want to swing!"
+
+Mom heard Ben and went to help him. She lifted him up and put him on the swing. She pushed him gently and said, "There you go, Ben. Now you can swing. Have fun!"
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. I like to swing. Whee!"
+
+Lily watched Ben swing. She wanted to swing too, but she also wanted to see the birds. She saw a purple bird on a branch. She had never seen a purple bird before. She thought it was very beautiful. She walked to the tree and said, "Hello, purple bird. What is your name?"
+
+The purple bird looked at Lily and said, "Hello, little girl. My name is Violet. I am a parrot. I can talk."
+
+Lily was surprised and happy. She said, "Wow, you can talk! You are amazing, Violet. Can I be your friend?"
+
+Violet nodded and said, "Sure, you can be my friend. You are very nice, Lily. Do you want to hear me sing?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. I love to hear you sing."
+
+Violet opened her beak and sang a song. She sang about the sun, the sky, the flowers, and the rainbows. She sang with a sweet and clear voice. Lily clapped her hands and said, "You sing very well, Violet. You are the best bird ever!"

+
+"Look, Sam, there is a monkey in the tree!" Ben said. "He is eating the fruits. They must be yummy. Let's go and get some too."
+
+"OK, Ben, but be careful. The tree is very tall and the monkey is very fast. He might not share with us." Sam said.
+
+They ran to the tree and started to climb. The monkey saw them and made a loud noise. He did not like the boys. He wanted to keep the fruits for himself. He threw some fruits at them and tried to scare them away.
+
+"Ow, that hurts!" Ben said. "Stop it, monkey! We just want some fruits. Please share with us."
+
+"No, no, no!" the monkey said. "These are my fruits. Go away, go away, go away!"
+
+The monkey threw more fruits and some sticks at the boys. Ben and Sam tried to dodge them, but they lost their balance and fell from the tree. They landed on the ground with a thud. They felt pain in their arms and legs. They cried and called for help.
+
+The monkey laughed and ate more fruits. He was happy. He had succeeded in keeping the boys away from his tree. He did not care if they were hurt. He was a mean monkey.

+
+Anna's mom hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. Some children are not good at sharing. They need to learn how to be kind and generous. Maybe Ben will learn one day. But you are a good friend. You know how to share. I'm proud of you."
+
+Anna smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. Can we go home now?"
+
+Anna's mom nods and says, "Yes, we can. Let's say goodbye to Ben and his mom."

+
+Sara thought for a moment. She had seen elephants in books and on TV. They were gray or brown. "They are not brilliant?" she asked.

+
+One day, Tom saw a new thing in the yard. It was a cage with a bird inside. The bird was yellow and blue and sang a pretty song. Tom was curious and went closer to the cage. He sniffed the bird and wagged his tail.
+
+"Hello, dog," the bird said. "I am Polly. I am a pet, like you. But I live in a cage, not a house. It is tight and I cannot fly."
+
+"Why do you live in a cage?" Tom asked. "Don't you want to be free?"
+

+
+Polly was scared, but she also wanted to try. She said, "OK, Tom. I will trust you. But be careful, the cage is locked."

+Tom was strong and smart. He used his teeth and paws to open the cage. He lifted Polly out and put her on his back. He said, "Hold on, Polly. I will run and you will fly."
+
+Tom ran as fast as he could. Polly felt the wind in her feathers and the sun on her face. She spread her wings and flew off Tom's back. She was happy and free.

+
+Polly was hurt and scared. She thanked Tom and said, "You are a good dog, Tom. You saved me. But I learned a lesson. I don't want to fly anymore. I want to stay in my cage and be safe. It is tight, but it is home."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I understand, Polly. I also learned a lesson. I don't want to sleep inside anymore. I want to stay in my house and protect my family. It is small, but it is mine."
+
+Tom and Polly returned to the yard. Their families were happy to see them. They hugged them and praised them and gave them treats. They said, "You are good pets, Tom and Polly. We love you."

+
+"Mom, can I have the leash, please?" she asked.

+
+Lily hugged Spot and said, "It's okay, boy. I love you. But next time, I will hold the leash with one hand and hold mom's hand with the other. That way, we won't get hurt."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That's a good idea, Lily. You are a smart girl. And you know what? You have five toys now. You have one doll, two cars, three balls, four books, and one leash. Can you count them for me?"

+
+His mom was disappointed, but proud of Timmy for being honest. She explained that it's always better to tell the truth than to hide things. Timmy learned his lesson and promised to never jump on the couch again.

+
+As she wandered through the forest, Lily met a bossy rabbit who demanded that she give him the crown. But Lily didn't want to give it away, so she ran away as fast as she could. The rabbit chased her, but Lily was too quick for him.

+
+As they continued their walk, they saw a sign that said "Lock your car." 
+

+
+The dough was soft and sticky. Sara liked to feel it in her hands. She squeezed it and rolled it and made shapes. She made a ball, a snake, a star and a face. She smiled. She was having fun.
+
+But Mama did not smile. She came into the kitchen and saw the mess. She saw the dough on the table, on the floor, on the chair and on Sara. She was angry. She said, "Sara, what did you do? You ruined the dough! You made a big mess! You are a naughty girl!"
+
+Sara felt sad. She did not mean to be naughty. She just wanted to play. She said, "I'm sorry, Mama. I wanted to make bread like you. I like the dough. It feels nice."
+
+Mama sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was tired. She said, "I know, Sara. But dough is not a toy. It is food. You have to be careful with it. And you have to listen to me. Now you have to help me clean up. And then you have to nap. You need to rest."
+
+Sara nodded. She helped Mama wipe the table, the floor, the chair and herself. She put the dough back in the bowl. She said, "I'm sorry, Mama. I love you."

+Sara followed Mama to her bed. She was not restless anymore. She was sleepy. She snuggled with her teddy bear and closed her eyes. She dreamed of dough and bread and Mama.
+Sam and Lily liked to play with their jeep. It was big and red and had four wheels. They drove it around the yard and pretended to go on adventures.
+
+One day, they saw a sign that said "Store". They wondered what it was. They decided to drive their jeep to the store and see what they could find.
+
+They parked their jeep outside the store and went inside. They saw many things: toys, books, clothes, food, and more. They wanted to look at everything.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Sam said, picking up a shiny car. "It is so cool!"
+
+"Can we have it?" Lily asked, holding a soft doll. "It is so pretty!"
+
+They did not have any money, but they did not know that. They thought they could just take what they liked. They put the car and the doll in their jeep and drove away.
+
+But they did not see the man who worked at the store. He saw them take the things and ran after them. He was angry and shouted, "Hey, stop! You have to pay for those!"
+
+Sam and Lily heard the man and got scared. They did not know what to do. They drove faster, but the man was faster. He caught up with them and took the car and the doll back.
+
+He said, "You cannot take things without paying. That is wrong. You have to ask first and give money. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam and Lily nodded. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry. We did not know. We just liked the things."
+
+The man saw that they were sorry and said, "It is okay. You made a mistake. But you have to learn to be wise. Wise means you know what is right and what is wrong. And you do what is right. Do you want to be wise?"
+
+Sam and Lily nodded again. They said, "Yes, we want to be wise. How can we be wise?"
+
+The man smiled and said, "You can be wise by listening and learning. You can listen to your parents, your teachers, and your friends. They can teach you many things. You can also learn by reading books, playing games, and asking questions. You can learn something new every day. And you can always say sorry when you do something wrong. That is how you can be wise."
+
+Sam and Lily thanked the man and said, "Thank you for teaching us. We will try to be wise. Can we still look at the store?"
+
+The man said, "Yes, you can. But you have to ask me first. And you have to pay with money or trade with something else. Do you have anything to trade?"
+
+Sam and Lily looked at their jeep. They loved their jeep, but they also wanted to see the store. They thought for a moment and then said, "We can trade our jeep. It is big and red and has four wheels. Do you like it?"
+
+The man looked at their jeep and said, "I do like it. It is a nice jeep. But are you sure you want to trade it? You will not have it anymore."
+
+Sam and Lily said, "We are sure. We can share other things. And we can make new friends at the store. Maybe they have other jeeps too."
+
+The man said, "Okay, then. It is a deal. You can trade your jeep for anything you want in the store. But you have to be careful and choose wisely. And you have to be happy with what you choose. Do you agree?"
+
+Sam and Lily said, "We agree. Thank you for the deal. Let's go and see what we can find."
+
+They gave their jeep to the man and went inside the store. They looked at many things and chose what they liked. They were happy and wise. And they made new friends.
+Lily liked to play with her rope. She could swing it, jump with it, or make shapes with it. She was very good at rope games. She owned a nice rope that was red and blue and shiny. She thought it was the most attractive rope in the world.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and her rope. She saw a boy who was playing with a ball. He looked at her rope and smiled. He came over to her and said, "Hi, I'm Tom. Can I play with your rope? It looks fun."
+
+Lily was not sure. She liked her rope very much and did not want to share it. She said, "No, this is my rope. I own it. You can't play with it."
+
+Tom was sad. He said, "But I like your rope. It is very attractive. Please, can I try it for a little bit? I will be careful."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She saw that Tom was nice and polite. She decided to be kind and share. She said, "Okay, you can play with my rope. But only for a little bit. And you have to give it back to me when I ask."
+
+Tom was happy. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. I will give it back to you when you ask."
+
+They played with the rope together. They had a lot of fun. They became friends. Lily learned that sharing can be fun too. She was glad she met Tom.
+Sara and Ben liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they wanted more. One day, they saw a sign that said "Toy Sale". They asked their mom if they could go.
+
+"OK, but you have to use your own money," mom said. "How much money do you have?"
+
+Sara and Ben ran to their piggy banks. They shook them and heard some coins. They opened them and counted. Sara had five pennies and Ben had four.
+
+"Let's go!" they said.
+
+They walked to the toy sale with mom. There were many toys on a big table. Sara and Ben looked at them. They saw cars, dolls, books, puzzles, and more. They wanted them all.
+
+"How much is this?" Sara asked, pointing to a pink doll.
+
+"One penny," the lady said.
+
+Sara gave her a penny and took the doll. She was happy.
+
+"How much is this?" Ben asked, pointing to a blue car.
+
+"Two pennies," the lady said.
+
+Ben gave her two pennies and took the car. He was happy.
+
+They looked at the other toys. They saw a book with animals, a puzzle with shapes, a ball with stars, and more. They wanted them too.
+
+But they did not have enough pennies. They only had six pennies left.
+
+"What can we do?" Sara asked.
+
+"Maybe we can sell something," Ben said.
+
+They looked at their toys. They did not want to sell them. They liked them.
+
+But then they saw something else. They saw a flower. It was yellow and pretty. It smelled good.
+
+"Maybe we can sell this," Sara said.
+
+"OK, let's try," Ben said.
+
+They picked the flower and went to the table. They saw a lady who looked sad. She did not have any toys.
+
+"Hello, do you want to buy a flower?" Sara asked.
+
+"A flower? How much?" the lady asked.
+
+"Four pennies," Ben said.
+
+The lady smiled. She liked the flower. She gave them four pennies and took the flower.
+
+"Thank you, it's beautiful," she said.
+
+Sara and Ben were happy. They had ten pennies now. They could buy more toys.
+
+They bought the book, the puzzle, and the ball. They had no pennies left.
+
+They thanked the lady and went back to mom. They showed her their toys.
+
+"Wow, you have a lot of toys," mom said. "Did you have fun?"
+
+"Yes, we did," Sara and Ben said. "We sold a flower and made a lady happy."
+
+"That's very nice of you," mom said. "You are good kids."
+
+They hugged mom and walked home. They played with their toys. They were peaceful and happy. They did not want more. They had enough.
+Tim and Mia like to look at the stars at night. They see many bright dots in the sky. Sometimes they see a big dot that moves fast. That is a comet. A comet is a ball of ice and dust that flies around the sun.
+
+One night, Tim and Mia see a very big comet. It is bigger than any other dot. It has a long tail of light. It is very pretty. Tim and Mia want to see it better. They get their binoculars and go outside.
+
+But there is a problem. There is only one pair of binoculars. Tim and Mia both want to use them. They start to fight.
+
+"Give me the binoculars!" Tim says. "I saw the comet first!"
+
+"No, give them to me!" Mia says. "I like the comet more!"
+
+They pull and tug and shout. They are very angry. They do not share.
+
+The comet does not wait for them. It keeps moving fast. It goes behind a cloud. It is gone.
+
+Tim and Mia stop fighting. They look at the sky. They do not see the comet anymore. They feel sad. They miss the comet.
+
+They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tim. I was mean. You can use the binoculars next time." Mia says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia. I was selfish. You can use the binoculars now." Tim says.
+
+They hug. They are friends again. They hope to see the comet again. They know it is hard to see a comet. They know it is easy to share.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big pool with water and toys. They splash each other and laugh.
+
+One day, they find a jar of olives in the kitchen. They love olives. They take the jar to the pool and open it. They eat some olives and throw some in the water. They pretend the olives are fish and try to catch them.
+
+"Look, I got a big one!" Ben says, holding an olive in his hand.
+
+"Me too!" Anna says, showing her olive.
+
+They hear a loud noise. They turn around and see their mom. She is angry. She sees the jar of olives on the ground. It is broken. There are olives and glass everywhere.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "You made a big mess! You could have hurt yourself! And you wasted the olives!"
+
+Anna and Ben feel bad. They say sorry to Mom. They help her clean up the mess. They promise not to take things from the kitchen without asking. They hug Mom and say they love her.
+
+Mom is not angry anymore. She loves them too. She says they can have some olives for snack later. But first, they have to dry off and change their clothes. They are wet and sticky from the pool and the olives. They go inside and do as Mom says. They still like olives, but they don't throw them in the water anymore.
+Tom and Anna liked to sort their toys by color. They had a big box with many handles that they could pull and open. Inside the box, they had red cars, blue balls, yellow ducks, and green frogs. They took out the toys and put them in different piles on the floor.
+
+"Look, I have more red cars than you!" Tom said to Anna.
+
+"No, you don't! I have more blue balls than you!" Anna said to Tom.
+
+They counted their toys and saw that they had the same number. They smiled and hugged each other.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It sounded like something had fallen and broken. They were frightened and ran to see what had happened.
+
+They saw their mom standing by the sink, holding a broken plate. She looked sad and angry.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. I was trying to wash the dishes, but I dropped one and it broke. It was your grandma's favorite plate. She gave it to me when I was a little girl." She said.
+
+Tom and Anna felt sorry for their mom. They knew how much she loved grandma, who had gone to heaven last year.
+
+They ran to their mom and hugged her. They said, "It's okay, mom. We love you. Grandma loves you too. She knows it was an accident. We can help you clean up the mess."
+
+Their mom smiled and thanked them. She said, "You are very sweet and kind, kids. I love you too. Grandma would be proud of you. Come on, let's sort the pieces of the plate and see if we can glue them back together. Maybe we can make a new handle for it."
+
+They nodded and followed their mom. They sorted the pieces by size and shape and tried to fit them together. They had fun and forgot their fear. They felt happy and close to their mom and grandma.
+Sara was miserable. She was hungry and thirsty and had no one to play with. She had been left at her aunt's house while her mom and dad went to work. Her aunt was busy and did not talk to her much. She only gave her a slice of bread and a glass of water for lunch.
+
+Sara looked around the room. There was nothing fun to do. She saw some books, but they had too many words. She saw some toys, but they were old and broken. She saw some pictures, but they were boring and faded. She wished she could go outside, but her aunt said it was too cold and wet.
+
+Sara decided to explore the kitchen. Maybe she could find something tasty to eat. She opened the fridge and saw a bowl of grapes. She loved grapes. They were sweet and juicy and fun to pop in her mouth. She reached for the bowl, but it was too high. She tried to climb on a chair, but it was too wobbly. She tried to use a spoon, but it was too short.
+
+She was about to give up when she heard a voice. "Do you want some grapes?" It was her cousin Ben. He was older and taller than Sara. He had come home from school early. He saw Sara struggling to get the grapes and felt sorry for her.
+
+"Yes, please!" Sara said. She smiled at Ben. He smiled back and lifted the bowl from the fridge. He gave Sara some grapes and took some for himself. They sat on the floor and ate the grapes together. They talked and laughed and made funny faces. Sara felt much better. She was not miserable anymore. She had found a friend and some grapes.
+Tom and Lily were playing in their room when they heard a loud noise. It was the wind. It was very strong and it made the trees shake and the windows rattle. Tom and Lily were frightened. They ran to their mom and dad.
+
+"What is that noise, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"It is a hurricane, Tom. A big storm with a lot of wind and rain. We have to stay inside and be safe," mom said.
+
+"Will it hurt us, dad?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, Lily. We are in a strong house and we have food and water and flashlights. We will be okay," dad said.
+
+But then the lights went out. It was dark and the noise was louder. Tom and Lily started to cry. They hugged their mom and dad.
+
+"Don't panic, kids. It is just the power. It will come back soon. We have candles and books and games. We can still have fun," mom said.
+
+She lit a candle and gave it to Tom. Dad lit another one and gave it to Lily. They moved to the living room and sat on the couch. Mom read them a story. Dad sang them a song. Tom and Lily felt better. They smiled and laughed. They were not frightened anymore. They knew they were safe with their mom and dad. They waited for the hurricane to pass.
+Tom was a curious boy. He liked to look at things and ask questions. One day, he saw a rope in the garage. He wondered what it was for.
+
+He picked up the rope and felt it. It was long and rough. He pulled it and it made a sound. He smiled and said, "This is fun!"
+
+He decided to take the rope outside and play with it. He dragged it along the grass and wrapped it around a tree. He tried to swing on it, but it was too hard. He fell down and hurt his knee.
+
+He cried and ran back to the house. He saw his mom and said, "Mom, I found a rope in the garage. It was not fun. It was mean. It made me fall and hurt my knee."
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. That rope is not a toy. It is a tool. Dad uses it to tie things and fix things. You should not play with it. It is dangerous."
+
+She took him to the bathroom and cleaned his knee. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. She said, "You are a brave boy, Tom. But you should be careful. You should not touch things you don't know. You should ask me or dad first. We love you and we don't want you to get hurt."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was curious. I wanted to know what the rope was for. I won't touch it again. I love you too."
+
+His mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Tom. I know you are curious. Curious is good. But you have to be safe too. There are many other things you can play with and learn from. Come on, let's go find something else to do."
+Anna and Ben liked to play with their toys. Anna had a doll and Ben had a car. They played together every day.
+
+One day, Ben wanted to try Anna's doll. He asked her, "Can I play with your doll?"
+
+Anna liked her doll very much. She did not want to give it to Ben. She said, "No, this is my doll. You can play with your car."
+
+Ben felt sad. He said, "But I want to play with your doll. It is so pretty and soft. Please, can we trade?"
+
+Anna thought for a moment. She liked Ben's car too. It was shiny and fast. She said, "OK, we can trade. But only for a little while. Then we give back our toys."
+
+Ben was happy. He gave his car to Anna and took her doll. He hugged the doll and made it talk. Anna took his car and zoomed it around the floor. They had fun with their new toys.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was Anna's big brother, Tom. He came into the room and saw Ben with the doll. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, Ben is playing with a doll. He is a baby. Dolls are for girls, not for boys."
+
+Ben felt frightened. He did not like Tom's words. He said, "No, I am not a baby. I am a big boy. I can play with whatever I want."
+
+Tom did not listen. He grabbed the doll from Ben and threw it on the bed. He said, "No, you can't. Dolls are mine. I will take them all."
+
+Anna and Ben were angry. They did not like Tom's actions. They said, "No, you can't. Dolls are ours. You have to give them back."
+
+Tom did not care. He ran to the closet and took out all the dolls he could find. He said, "No, I won't. Dolls are fun. I will keep them all."
+
+Anna and Ben did not know what to do. They wanted their dolls back. They felt sad and scared. They decided to ask for help. They ran to their mom and told her what Tom did. They said, "Mom, Tom took our dolls. He is mean. He won't give them back. Please, can you make him stop?"
+
+Mom heard their question. She was not happy with Tom. She said, "Don't worry, Anna and Ben. I will talk to Tom. He has to share and be nice. He can't take your dolls. I will make him give them back."
+
+Mom went to the room and saw Tom with the dolls. She said, "Tom, what are you doing? Why did you take Anna and Ben's dolls? That is not fair. You have to give them back."
+
+Tom did not want to give them back. He said, "But Mom, I like the dolls. They are cool. I want to play with them."
+
+Mom said, "No, Tom. You can't play with the dolls. They are not yours. They belong to Anna and Ben. You have to respect their toys. You can't take them without asking. You have to apologize and give them back."
+
+Tom realized he was wrong. He felt sorry. He said, "OK, Mom. I am sorry. I was mean. I will give them back."
+
+Tom gave the dolls back to Anna and Ben. He said, "I am sorry, Anna and Ben. I should not have taken your dolls. I was rude. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Anna and Ben were glad. They said, "Thank you, Tom. We forgive you. You can play with us if you want. But you have to ask first. And you have to be nice."
+
+Tom said, "OK, Anna and Ben. I will ask first. And I will be nice. Can I play with you?"
+
+Anna and Ben said, "Yes, Tom. You can play with us. We can share our toys. We can have fun together."
+
+They all smiled and hugged. They played with their toys. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over who gets what toy. Anna is bossy. She wants to have the best toys and tell Ben what to do.
+
+One day, they find a big box in the hall. It has a sticker that says "supply". They are curious. They open the box and see many new toys inside. They are happy. They take out the toys and start to play.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a doll with a dress and a hat. She is so pretty. You can have the car. It is boring." Anna says.
+
+"No, Anna, I want the doll too. She has a hat. I like hats. You can have the car. It is fast." Ben says.
+
+They start to pull the doll from each other. They are angry. They yell and cry.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees the mess and the box. She is not happy. She takes the doll from them and puts it back in the box.
+
+"Anna and Ben, what are you doing? This is not your box. This is a supply box for the school. I have to take it to the school tomorrow. You cannot play with these toys. They are not yours." Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They say sorry to Mom. They hug each other. They decide to share their own toys and be nice. They are friends again. They play with their toys until they are tired. They go to bed and fall asleep. They have a good wake in the morning. They are happy.
+One night, Lily and Ben were sleeping in their tent. They liked to camp in the backyard with their dad. They heard a buzz near their ears. It was a mosquito. The mosquito wanted to bite them and drink their blood.
+
+"Go away, mosquito!" Lily said. She waved her hand to scare it. But the mosquito was fast and sneaky. It flew to Ben's ear and bit him. Ben woke up and cried. "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!"
+
+Dad heard them and came to the tent. He saw the mosquito and shooed it away. He looked at Ben's ear and saw a red bump. He kissed it and said, "Don't worry, Ben. It will be better soon. The mosquito is gone now."
+
+"Where did it come from, Dad?" Lily asked. She was curious and brave. She wanted to know more about the mosquito.
+
+Dad smiled and said, "Mosquitoes are small bugs that live in the air. They like to come out at night and look for food. They are mysterious and hard to see. But they don't like light and smoke. That's why we have a lantern and a fire outside the tent. They keep the mosquitoes away."
+
+"Can we welcome the mosquitoes, Dad?" Ben asked. He was kind and friendly. He wanted to share his food with the mosquito.
+
+Dad shook his head and said, "No, Ben. We can't welcome the mosquitoes. They are not nice guests. They bite us and make us itch and sick. We have to protect ourselves from them. We can welcome other animals, like birds and squirrels and rabbits. They are cute and harmless. They don't bother us and we don't bother them."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Dad. We understand. We don't like mosquitoes. We like birds and squirrels and rabbits. They are our friends."
+
+Dad hugged them and said, "Good night, Lily and Ben. Sleep tight and don't let the mosquitoes bite."
+
+They snuggled in their sleeping bags and closed their eyes. They dreamed of flying with the birds, playing with the squirrels and hopping with the rabbits. They were happy and safe in their tent.
+Sara and Ben love to play in the park. They like to slide, swing, and run. But their favorite thing is to jump on the big trampoline. The trampoline is purple and has a net around it. It is incredible.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben go to the park with their mom. They run to the trampoline and wait for their turn. There are other kids jumping on it. They look happy and excited.
+
+"Can we jump too, mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. But you have to wait for your turn and be careful, okay?" mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben nod and watch the other kids. They see them bounce high and do flips and tricks. They clap and cheer for them.
+
+Soon, it is their turn. Sara and Ben climb on the trampoline and hold hands. They start to jump slowly and then faster and faster. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and giggle.
+
+"Look, mom, we are flying!" Ben shouts.
+
+"You are amazing, my loves!" mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben jump and jump until they are tired. They hug each other and thank the other kids for sharing the trampoline. They say goodbye to the purple and incredible trampoline and go to get some ice cream with mom. They are happy and proud. They love to jump.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of cars, dolls, blocks and animals. They liked to make up stories and pretend they were on adventures.
+
+One day, they decided to play hero and villain. Lily was the hero and Ben was the villain. Lily wore a cape and a mask and Ben wore a hat and a scarf. They ran around the garden, chasing and hiding from each other.
+
+"Stop, villain!" Lily shouted. "You are bad and you have to go to jail!"
+
+"Never, hero!" Ben said. "You can't catch me and you can't stop me from taking all the toys!"
+
+Ben grabbed a big bag and started to put all the toys inside. He laughed and said, "These are mine now! You can't have them!"
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She didn't want to lose her toys. She ran after Ben and tried to grab the bag. But the bag was too heavy and too tight. Ben pulled it away from her and ran to the other side of the garden.
+
+Lily didn't give up. She had an idea. She saw a big pile of leaves and a rake. She picked up the rake and ran to the pile of leaves. She started to scatter the leaves all over the garden. She made a big mess and a lot of noise.
+
+Ben was curious and confused. He stopped running and looked at Lily. He wondered what she was doing. He put the bag down and walked towards her.
+
+"What are you doing, hero?" he asked. "Why are you scattering the leaves?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I'm making a trap, villain! Watch out!"
+
+She dropped the rake and jumped on Ben. She pushed him into the pile of leaves and covered him with them. She tickled him and said, "I got you, villain! You are caught and you have to give back the toys!"
+
+Ben laughed and said, "OK, OK, you win, hero! You are smart and brave! You can have the toys!"
+
+Lily and Ben hugged and said sorry to each other. They picked up the toys and put them back where they belonged. They decided to play something else. They were happy and they were friends.
+Lily was restless. She did not want to sleep. She wanted to play with her toys. But Mommy said it was bedtime and turned off the light.
+
+Lily waited for Mommy to go away. Then she got out of bed and tiptoed to the dresser. She opened the top drawer and looked inside. She saw her favorite doll, her teddy bear, and her puzzle. She smiled and reached for the doll.
+
+But then she heard a voice. "Lily, what are you doing?" It was Mommy. She came back to check on her. She saw Lily with the drawer open and the doll in her hand.
+
+Lily felt scared. She knew she was naughty. She dropped the doll and closed the drawer. She ran back to bed and hid under the covers.
+
+Mommy came to the bed and lifted the covers. She looked at Lily with a stern face. "Lily, you know you are supposed to sleep now. Why did you open the drawer and take out your toys?"
+
+Lily looked at Mommy with big eyes. She said in a small voice, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I was restless. I wanted to play."
+
+Mommy sighed. She hugged Lily and kissed her forehead. She said in a soft voice, "I know, sweetie. But you need to sleep. Sleep is good for you. It helps you grow and learn and have fun. Tomorrow you can play with your toys. But now, please close your eyes and sleep."
+
+Lily nodded. She felt sorry and sleepy. She cuddled with Mommy and closed her eyes. She said, "I love you, Mommy."
+
+Mommy said, "I love you too, Lily. Good night."
+
+Mommy turned off the light and left the room. Lily fell asleep and dreamed of her toys. She was not restless anymore.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see many things in nature. They see birds, flowers, trees and bugs. They are happy.
+
+One day, they find a big rock. It is shiny and smooth. Anna wants to keep it. She says, "This is my rock. I found it first. You can't have it."
+
+Ben is sad. He likes the rock too. He says, "That is not fair. We can share the rock. We are friends. Friends share things. Friends are honest."
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She remembers that Ben is her friend. He always helps her and plays with her. He is honest. She trusts him. She says, "You are right. We are friends. Friends share things. Friends are honest. We can share the rock."
+
+Ben smiles. He is happy. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. I trust you too. We can take turns with the rock. We can play with it together."

+Anna and Ben hug. They are happy. They play with the rock and other things in nature. They are honest and trust each other. They are good friends.
+Anna liked to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pink skirt. Anna liked to comb Lily's hair and make her wear different hats and shoes.
+
+One day, Anna found a new skirt in her closet. It was blue and shiny and had many ruffles. Anna thought it was very pretty and wanted to try it on. She put it over her pants and looked in the mirror. She smiled and twirled around.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a new skirt!" Anna said to her doll. "Do you like it?"
+
+Lily did not answer, because she was a doll. But Anna pretended that she did. She said in a high voice, "Yes, Anna, I like your new skirt. It is very flexible and sparkly. Can I wear it too?"
+
+Anna thought for a moment. She liked her new skirt, but she also liked to share with her friends. She decided to let Lily wear the skirt for a while. She took off the skirt and put it on Lily. She adjusted the ruffles and said, "There, Lily, you look very nice. But remember, this is my skirt. It belongs to me. You can borrow it, but you have to give it back later."
+
+Lily nodded, because Anna moved her head. She said in a high voice, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind and generous. I will take good care of your skirt. I will give it back when you want it."
+
+Anna hugged Lily and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are my best friend. I love you."
+
+They played together for a long time, until Anna's mom called them for lunch. Anna took off the skirt from Lily and put it back in her closet. She said, "Bye, Lily. See you later. Have a good nap."
+
+Lily said, "Bye, Anna. See you later. Have a good lunch."
+
+Anna carried Lily to her bed and tucked her in. She kissed her on the cheek and said, "Sweet dreams, Lily."
+
+Lily said, "Sweet dreams, Anna."
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for worms. They had a big bucket to put the worms in. They wanted to make a worm farm.
+
+"Look, I found a big one!" Ben said, holding up a long, wriggly worm. He put it in the bucket with the others.
+
+"Me too!" Anna said, digging deeper. She saw something shiny in the dirt. She pulled it out. It was a coin. "Wow, a coin! Maybe it is old and worth a lot!"
+
+"Let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the coin. Anna pulled it away.
+
+"No, it is mine! I found it!" Anna said, holding the coin tight.
+
+They started to argue. They both wanted the coin. They did not share. They did not listen. They got angry and frustrated.
+
+Just then, their mom arrived. She saw them fighting. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you yelling and grabbing?"
+
+They both tried to explain. They both wanted the coin. They both thought it was theirs.
+
+Mom shook her head. She took the coin from Anna. She looked at it.
+
+"This is not a coin," she said. "This is a button. It is not worth anything. It is just a button."
+
+Anna and Ben looked at the button. They felt silly. They had fought over a button.
+
+Mom gave them the button. She told them to say sorry to each other. She told them to share and be kind. She told them to play nicely.
+
+Anna and Ben said sorry. They hugged. They did not want the button anymore. They gave it to Mom. They went back to their bucket. They looked at the worms. They smiled.

+
+"Hello, kids!" he says. "Do you want to see my balloon?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Sara and Ben say. They run to the balloon.
+
+The man helps them get in the basket. He gives them helmets and masks. He says, "These are for you to breathe. The balloon goes very high. There is not much oxygen up there. Oxygen is what you drink with your nose. You need it to live."
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They put on the helmets and masks. They feel funny. They sound funny.
+
+The man pulls a rope. The balloon goes up. Sara and Ben see the park get smaller. They see the trees and the houses and the cars. They see the clouds and the sun and the birds. They are happy. They smile at each other.
+
+The man says, "Do you like the balloon?"

+Tom and Lily liked to play with their wagon. They filled it with toys and books and took turns pulling it around the yard. One day, they saw a big dog outside the fence. The dog was barking and jumping and looked angry.
+
+"Let's go inside," Lily said. She was scared of the dog. She grabbed Tom's hand and ran to the door. But they forgot their wagon. It was still in the yard, near the fence.
+
+The dog saw the wagon and ran to it. He sniffed it and pushed it with his nose. He knocked over some toys and books. He bit a teddy bear and tore it. He made a big mess.
+
+Tom and Lily watched from the window. They were sad and angry. They wanted their wagon back. They wanted their toys and books back. They wanted their teddy bear back. They trembled and cried.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, help us!" they shouted. Mommy heard them and came to the window. She saw the dog and the wagon. She was not happy.
+
+"Shoo, shoo, go away!" she yelled at the dog. She opened the door and went outside. She waved her arms and clapped her hands. The dog was scared of mommy. He dropped the teddy bear and ran away.
+
+Mommy picked up the teddy bear and the wagon. She brought them inside. She hugged Tom and Lily and wiped their tears.
+
+"It's okay, it's okay, the dog is gone," she said. "Let's fix your teddy bear and tidy up your wagon. Then we can have some cookies and milk. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They were glad mommy was there. They helped her fix the teddy bear and tidy up the wagon. They put their toys and books back in. They thanked mommy and gave her a kiss. Then they had some cookies and milk. They were happy again.
+Sara likes to teach her teddy bear how to do things. She puts him on a chair and says, "Teddy, I will teach you how to stand. Standing is fun and good for you. You can see more things and play better." She holds his paws and helps him stand on the chair. "See, Teddy, you are standing! You are so smart and brave!"
+
+But then, Sara hears a loud noise. It is her big brother, Tom, who comes into the room. He sees Sara and Teddy on the chair and laughs. "What are you doing, Sara? Are you playing teacher with your silly bear? He can't stand, he is just a toy. You are so funny and dumb!" He grabs Teddy and throws him on the floor.
+
+Sara feels angry and sad. She runs to Teddy and hugs him. She says, "Don't listen to Tom, Teddy. He is mean and rude. You can stand, you are not silly or dumb. You are my best friend and I love you." She looks at Tom and says, "Go away, Tom. You are not welcome here. You make me and Teddy embarrassed and hurt."
+
+Tom feels sorry and ashamed. He says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was just joking. I didn't mean to make you and Teddy embarrassed and hurt. I know you love your bear and he is your best friend. Can I play with you and Teddy? I can teach him how to do other things, like jump and roll and dance."
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She says, "OK, Tom. You can play with us. But you have to be nice and gentle with Teddy. And you have to say sorry to him and give him a kiss." Tom nods and says, "OK, Sara. I'm sorry, Teddy. I was mean and rude. You are not silly or dumb. You are smart and brave. Can I give you a kiss?" He kisses Teddy on the nose and smiles. Sara smiles too and says, "Now we can all play and have fun. Teddy, are you ready to learn how to jump and roll and dance?" Teddy nods and says, "Yes, Sara. I'm ready. Thank you for teaching me how to stand. I love you and Tom." They all hug and laugh and play.
+Tom and Sue were playing with their toys in the living room. They had cars, dolls, blocks and books. They made a lot of noise as they zoomed, talked, built and read. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch.
+
+Mom came to the living room and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Tom and Sue, it is time for lunch. Put away your toys and come to the kitchen. And be quiet, your dad is working in his office."
+
+Tom and Sue did not want to stop playing. They said, "But mom, we are having fun. Can we play a little more?"
+
+Mom said, "No, you have to eat now. And you have to be quiet. Your dad is very busy. He has to finish his work and return it to his boss. He needs quiet to think."
+
+Tom and Sue nodded. They did not want to make their dad angry. They liked their dad. He was old and kind, and sometimes he played with them too. They put away their toys and followed their mom to the kitchen. They ate their lunch and said, "Thank you, mom."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You are welcome, Tom and Sue. You are good children. After lunch, you can play again, but in your room. And remember, be quiet."
+Sara likes to try new things with her hair. She has many clips and ribbons and bands. She likes to make different styles every day. Sometimes she makes a ponytail, sometimes she makes a braid, sometimes she makes a bun.
+
+One day, she wants to try a new style. She sees a picture of a girl with a big bow on her head. She thinks it looks very pretty. She asks her mom to help her make the same style. Her mom says okay and gets a big bow from her drawer.
+
+But when Sara looks in the mirror, she is upset. The bow is too big for her head. It covers her eyes and ears. She can't see or hear well. She says to her mom, "Mom, I don't like this style. It is not good for me. Can we change it?"
+
+Her mom says, "Of course, sweetie. We can try another style. What do you want to try next?"
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She says, "Maybe a simple style. Just a clip or a ribbon. Something that lets me see and hear and play."
+
+Her mom says, "That sounds like a good idea. Let's try that." She takes off the big bow and puts a small clip on Sara's hair. Sara looks in the mirror again. She smiles. She likes this style. It is simple and cute. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love this style. Can we go and play now?"
+
+Her mom says, "You're welcome, Sara. I love this style too. Yes, we can go and play now. Have fun, my darling." She hugs Sara and they go to the park. Sara is happy. She tries new things with her hair, but she also knows what she likes. She has her own style.
+Lily liked to balance on one foot. She thought it was fun and clever. She wanted to show her mom how well she could balance.
+
+She went to the garden and picked a rose. It was red and smelled nice. She held it in her hand and walked to the porch where her mom was sitting.
+
+"Look, mom, look!" she said. "I can balance on one foot and hold a rose!"
+
+She lifted her left foot and tried to stand on her right foot. She smiled and held the rose up high.
+
+But then a bee flew by and buzzed near her ear. Lily got scared and lost her balance. She fell down and dropped the rose.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "The bee scared me!"
+
+Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She checked her for any stings and kissed her boo-boos.
+
+"It's okay, Lily, it's okay," she said. "You are very brave and clever. And you did a great job balancing on one foot. The rose is beautiful, thank you. But next time, be careful of the bees. They like roses too."
+
+Lily nodded and sniffled. She hugged her mom back and said, "I love you, mom. And I love roses. But I don't love bees."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love roses and bees. But I love you more."
+A human came to the zoo with a big brush and a bucket of water. He wanted to wash the lion, who was very dirty and smelly. The lion did not like this. He was fierce and strong, and he roared at the human.
+
+"Go away!" the lion said. "I do not want to be washed. I like being dirty and smelly. It makes me feel like a king."
+
+The human did not listen. He climbed over the fence and walked towards the lion. He held the brush and the bucket of water. He was brave and silly, and he smiled at the lion.
+
+"Hello, lion," the human said. "I am here to wash you. You will look so nice and clean. You will feel so happy and fresh."
+
+The lion did not smile. He was angry and scared, and he showed his teeth to the human. He jumped at the human and tried to bite him. He wanted to make him go away.
+
+"Help!" the human said. "The lion is fierce and hungry. He wants to eat me. Someone save me!"
+
+The zookeeper heard the human and ran to the fence. He saw the lion and the human. He was shocked and worried, and he shouted at the human.
+
+"What are you doing?" the zookeeper said. "You are not supposed to wash the lion. He is wild and dangerous. He does not like being washed. He likes being dirty and smelly. You are very foolish and lucky. Come back here, now!"
+
+The human dropped the brush and the bucket of water. He ran back to the fence and climbed over it. He was wet and dirty, and he cried to the zookeeper.
+
+"I am sorry," the human said. "I thought the lion would like being washed. I wanted to make him happy. I did not know he was fierce and strong. I will never do that again."
+
+The zookeeper shook his head and sighed. He took the human away from the zoo. He was glad and relieved, and he said to the lion.
+
+"I am sorry, too," the zookeeper said. "That human was very silly and rude. He did not understand you. He did not respect you. You are a king, and you can be dirty and smelly if you want. I will not wash you. I will leave you alone."
+
+The lion nodded and licked his paws. He was calm and proud, and he said to the zookeeper.
+
+"Thank you," the lion said. "You are a good human. You understand me. You respect me. You are a friend, and you can come back anytime. But please, do not bring a brush and a bucket of water."
+Lily liked to play with her toys in the bathtub. She had a duck, a fish, a boat and a frog. She made them swim and splash and talk to each other. She pretended the frog was the king of the bathtub and the duck was his friend.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said it was time to get out of the bathtub. Lily did not want to get out. She wanted to play more. She said, "No, mom, no! I want to stay with the frog and the duck!"
+
+Mom said, "Lily, you have to get out. You have been in the bathtub for a long time. The water is getting cold and your fingers are wrinkly. Come on, let me wrap you in a towel and dry you off."
+
+Lily still did not want to get out. She said, "No, mom, no! I want to be the queen of the bathtub and play with the fish and the boat!"
+
+Mom said, "Lily, you can play with your toys later. Now you have to get out and get ready for bed. It is getting dark and you are tired. You need to sleep and have sweet dreams."
+
+Lily started to cry. She said, "No, mom, no! I don't want to sleep! I want to play in the bathtub!"
+
+Mom said, "Lily, please calm down. You are making a lot of noise and you are splashing water everywhere. You have to listen to me and do what I say. It is for your own good. Now, shut the water and get out of the bathtub."
+
+Lily shut the water and got out of the bathtub. She was still crying and angry. Mom wrapped her in a towel and dried her off. She put on her pajamas and brushed her teeth. She carried her to her bed and tucked her in. She kissed her and said, "I love you, Lily. I know you like to play in the bathtub, but you have to follow the rules. Tomorrow you can play again, but now you have to sleep. Good night, my sweet girl."
+
+Lily stopped crying and said, "I love you, mom. I'm sorry I was bad. Good night, mom."
+
+Mom turned off the light and left the room. Lily closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of the frog and the duck and the fish and the boat. She was the queen of the bathtub and they were her friends. She was happy and calm.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a big box on the table. It is colorful and has a picture of a coffee machine on it.
+
+"What is that?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's open it!" Ben says.
+
+They climb on the table and pull the box. It is heavy and makes a loud noise. They see a shiny thing inside. It has buttons and a spout and a cup.
+
+"Wow! It is a coffee machine!" Anna says.
+
+"Can we make coffee?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we can try." Anna says.
+
+They push the buttons and hear a beep. They see water coming out of the spout and filling the cup. It smells good.
+
+"Look! We made coffee!" Ben says.
+
+"Can we drink it?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know. It looks hot." Ben says.
+
+They touch the cup and feel it is warm. They sip the coffee and make a face.
+
+"Yuck! It is bitter!" Anna says.
+
+"I don't like it!" Ben says.
+
+They spit the coffee and run away. They leave the coffee machine on the table.
+
+Mom comes home and sees the mess. She sees the coffee machine and the cup and the box.
+
+"Who did this?" Mom asks.
+
+Anna and Ben hide behind the sofa. They are quiet.
+
+Mom finds them and smiles.
+
+"Did you try to make coffee?" Mom asks.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They are sorry.
+
+Mom hugs them and says.
+
+"It's okay. I'm not mad. But coffee is not for kids. It is for grown-ups. Next time, ask me before you use something new. Okay?"
+
+Anna and Ben say okay. They are happy.
+
+Mom says.
+
+"Let's clean up and have some juice. How about that?"
+
+Anna and Ben say yes. They like juice.
+
+They help Mom clean up and have some juice. They forget about the coffee machine. They play with their toys in the living room. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily are playing in the sand. They have a big bucket and a small bucket. They fill the big bucket with sand and turn it over. They make a sand castle.
+
+"Look at our castle!" Ben says. "It is so big and strong!"
+
+Lily nods. She wants to make the castle more pretty. She picks up the small bucket and runs to the water. She fills the bucket with water and runs back to the castle.
+
+But the water is heavy and the bucket is slippery. Lily runs too fast and trips over a shell. She falls down and spills the water. The bucket flies in the air and lands on her head.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cries. "My head hurts!"
+
+Ben runs to Lily and helps her up. He takes the bucket off her head and hugs her.
+
+"Are you okay?" he asks.
+
+Lily feels dizzy. She sees stars and birds and fish. She shakes her head.
+
+"I am dizzy," she says. "The bucket made me dizzy."
+
+Ben laughs. He thinks it is funny. He puts the bucket on his own head and spins around.
+
+"Look at me!" he says. "I am dizzy too!"
+
+Lily laughs too. She feels better. She takes the bucket off Ben's head and puts it on the sand.
+
+"Let's play with the bucket," she says. "But not on our heads."
+
+Ben agrees. They play with the bucket and the sand. They make more castles and towers and bridges. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they find a big ball in the closet. They decide to play catch with the ball.
+
+"Ben, catch!" Lily says, and throws the ball to her brother. Ben tries to catch the ball, but it is too big and bouncy. The ball hits his head and bounces away. Ben cries and rubs his head.
+
+"Sorry, Ben!" Lily says, and runs to hug him. "Are you OK?"
+
+Ben nods, but he is still sad. He does not want to play with the ball anymore. He wants to do something else.
+
+"Let's take a shower!" Ben says. "We are dirty from playing. And showers are fun!"
+
+Lily agrees. She likes showers too. They go to the bathroom and turn on the water. They take off their clothes and get in the shower. The water is warm and nice. They splash and giggle and wash their hair.
+
+"Look, Lily!" Ben says, and makes a funny face with soap bubbles. Lily laughs and makes a funny face too. They have a lovely time in the shower.
+
+After the shower, they dry themselves with towels and put on clean clothes. They feel happy and fresh. They hug each other and say, "We love showers!"
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom were going to visit their grandma. They were very happy. They packed their bags with toys and clothes. They put their bags in the big white car. Their dad was the driver. He said, "Are you ready to go?"
+
+"Yes, dad!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+They drove for a long time. They saw cows and trees and houses. They sang songs and played games. They asked, "Are we there yet?"
+
+"Soon, soon," their dad said.
+
+They finally arrived at grandma's house. Grandma was waiting for them. She gave them hugs and kisses. She said, "Welcome, my dears! Come inside and unpack your bags. I have cookies and milk for you."

+"I love you too, my dears!" grandma said. "Now, what do you want to do?"
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other and smiled. They had many ideas. They wanted to play with grandma's cat, read books, draw pictures, and watch TV. They said, "We want to do everything, grandma!"
+
+Grandma laughed and said, "Well, let's start with the cat. She's very friendly and likes to cuddle. Come on, let's go find her."
+
+Lily and Tom followed grandma to the living room. They saw the cat sleeping on the sofa. They gently petted her and said, "Hello, kitty!"
+
+The cat opened her eyes and purred. She rubbed her head against Lily and Tom. They giggled and said, "She likes us, grandma!"
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "Of course she does. You are very sweet and gentle. Now, let's read a book. I have a new one for you. It's about a brave knight and a dragon. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+"Yes, please, grandma!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+They snuggled with grandma and the cat on the sofa. Grandma opened the book and began to read. Lily and Tom listened with wonder and excitement. They were having a great time at grandma's house. They were very happy.
+Tom and Mia liked to play hockey with their sticks and ball. They played in the yard, where there was a lot of space and grass. They had fun hitting the ball and running after it.
+
+One day, Tom wanted to play hockey with Mia, but Mia did not want to. She wanted to play with her dolls and tea set. She said to Tom, "No, I do not want to play hockey. I want to play with my dolls. Go away."
+
+Tom was sad and angry. He said to Mia, "Please, Mia, please play hockey with me. It is more fun than dolls. You can play with your dolls later. Please, Mia, please."
+
+But Mia was stubborn. She did not listen to Tom. She said to Tom, "No, no, no. I do not want to play hockey. I want to play with my dolls. You go away."
+
+Tom did not know what to do. He tried to take Mia's dolls, but she screamed and pulled them back. He tried to kick her tea set, but she hit him with her stick. He tried to make her laugh, but she frowned and turned away.
+
+Tom was very sad and angry. He said to Mia, "Fine, Mia, fine. You are a mean and stubborn girl. I do not want to play with you. I will play hockey by myself."
+
+He took his stick and ball and went to the other side of the yard. He hit the ball hard and ran after it. He pretended that he had a team and a goal. He shouted and cheered. He had fun playing hockey by himself.
+
+Mia watched Tom from her corner. She saw that he was having fun playing hockey by himself. She felt a little sorry and a little curious. She wondered if hockey was really more fun than dolls. She picked up her stick and walked slowly to Tom. She said to Tom, "Tom, can I play hockey with you?"
+
+Tom looked at Mia. He was surprised and happy. He said to Mia, "Yes, Mia, yes. You can play hockey with me. Come on, let's play together. It will be more fun."
+
+He gave Mia a ball and showed her how to hit it. They played hockey together in the yard. They had fun hitting the ball and running after it. They laughed and cheered. They forgot about their fight and their dolls. They were happy playing hockey together.
+Mira was a humble girl who liked to help her mom and dad. On Sunday, she wanted to do something nice for them. She thought of a good idea. She would put some flowers in a vase and give it to them.
+
+She went to the garden and picked some yellow and pink flowers. She was careful not to hurt them. She found a vase in the kitchen and filled it with water. She put the flowers in the vase and smiled. They looked pretty.
+
+She carried the vase to the living room, where her mom and dad were reading. She said, "Look, I made this for you. I hope you like it."

+Mira felt warm and proud. She was glad she could make her mom and dad happy. She said, "I love you too. Happy Sunday!"
+Tom and Lily were young and liked to play. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big puzzle. The puzzle had many parts and they had to fit them together to make a picture. Sometimes it was hard, but they had fun.
+
+One day, they wanted to finish the puzzle. They looked for the last part, but they could not find it. They searched under the sofa, behind the curtain, and in the toy box. They asked their mom and dad, but they did not know. They felt sad and gave up.
+
+Then, they heard a noise from the kitchen. They ran to see what it was. They saw their cat, Snowy, playing with something on the floor. It was the missing part of the puzzle! Snowy had taken it and hidden it. Tom and Lily were happy and ran to get it.
+
+"Thank you, Snowy!" they said. "You found the part we needed!"
+
+They took the part and ran back to the puzzle. They put it in the right place and completed the picture. It was a beautiful picture of a farm with animals and flowers. They felt proud and hugged each other.

+
+They showed their mom and dad their puzzle and they praised them. They also gave Snowy a treat for helping them. They all smiled and had a good day.
+Anna and Ben like to travel with their mom and dad. They go to many places and see many things. Sometimes they travel by car, sometimes by train, sometimes by plane.
+
+One day, they travel by train to visit their grandma. They have a big bag with clothes and toys. They are very happy and excited. They sit by the window and look outside. They see trees, houses, farms, and animals.
+
+"Look, Ben, a cow!" Anna says.
+
+"Moo!" Ben says.
+
+They laugh and point at the cow. The cow looks at them and chews grass.
+
+The train goes fast and makes a loud noise. Anna and Ben hear a clink-clink sound. They wonder what it is.
+
+They ask their mom.
+
+"Mom, what is that sound?" Anna says.
+
+"That is the sound of the chain, Anna. The chain connects the train cars. It helps the train stay together and move," mom says.
+
+"Oh, I see. The chain is very long and strong," Anna says.
+
+"Yes, it is. And it has to fit well with the train cars. If it does not fit, the train can break or stop," mom says.
+
+"That would be bad," Ben says.
+
+"Yes, it would. But don't worry, the train drivers check the chain before they travel. They make sure it is safe and fit," mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They feel safe and fit too. They hug their mom and dad. They are happy to travel by train and see their grandma soon.
+Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with toys, read books, and eat waffles. Waffles were their favorite food. They liked them with butter, syrup, and berries.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox, and a pond. They wanted to try everything. They ran to the slide and took turns going down. They laughed and shouted, "Whee!"
+
+Then they went to the swing and pushed each other. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They smiled and said, "Wow!"
+
+Next, they went to the sandbox and made a castle with a bucket and a shovel. They decorated it with shells and stones. They pretended to be a king and a queen. They bowed and said, "Hello!"
+
+Finally, they went to the pond and saw some ducks. They threw some bread crumbs and watched the ducks eat. They quacked and said, "Quack!"
+
+One of the ducks was different from the others. It had a yellow spot on its head and a blue ribbon around its neck. It looked very cute and friendly. Anna and Ben liked it very much. They wanted to pet it and hug it.
+
+They asked their moms if they could go closer. Their moms said yes, but they had to be gentle and quiet. They walked slowly and carefully to the duck. They reached out their hands and touched its feathers. It felt soft and warm. The duck did not mind. It wagged its tail and made a happy sound.
+
+Anna and Ben were very happy too. They decided to give the duck a name. They thought of some names, but they could not agree. Anna wanted to name it Waffle, because it was sweet and fluffy. Ben wanted to name it Lucky, because it was special and lucky.
+
+They looked at each other and had an idea. They said, "Why don't we name it Waffle Lucky? That way, it has both of our names!"
+
+They liked their idea. They said, "Waffle Lucky, we love you! You are our new friend!"
+
+The duck liked its name too. It nodded and said, "Waffle Lucky, quack quack!"
+Lily and her mom went to the museum today. Lily liked the museum. She saw many things. She saw big animals and small animals. She saw old things and new things. She saw paintings and sculptures.
+
+Lily wanted to see everything. She skipped from one thing to another. She skipped fast and happy. She skipped so fast that her mom had to run after her. "Lily, slow down!" her mom said. "We have time to see everything. Don't skip too far."
+
+Lily stopped and looked at her mom. She smiled and said, "Sorry, mom. I am just excited. I like the museum. Can we see more things?"
+
+Her mom smiled back and said, "Of course, Lily. I am glad you like the museum. You are a curious and smart girl. I am proud of you. But let's skip together, okay? So we don't get lost."
+
+Lily nodded and took her mom's hand. They skipped together to see more things. They skipped slow and happy. They skipped and learned and had fun. Lily and her mom liked the museum.
+Anna and Ben like to play knights and dragons. Anna has a spear and a shield. Ben has a sword and a helmet. They run around the garden and pretend to fight the dragon.
+
+"Roar!" Ben says. He is the dragon. He tries to catch Anna with his sword.
+
+"Ha!" Anna says. She is the knight. She throws her spear at Ben. But she misses. The spear flies over the fence.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna says. She runs to the fence. She wants her spear back.
+
+Ben follows her. He sees the spear on the other side of the fence. It is in the neighbor's garden. The neighbor has a big dog.
+
+"Look!" Ben says. He points to the dog. The dog is barking. He does not like the spear.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They do not want the dog to bite them. They do not want the neighbor to be angry.
+
+"Help!" Anna says. She calls for her mom.
+
+Mom hears Anna and Ben. She comes to the garden. She sees the spear and the dog.
+
+"Oops!" Mom says. She smiles. She knows it is a game. She goes to the fence. She talks to the neighbor.
+
+"Hello!" Mom says. She is friendly. "Can I have the spear, please? It is for my kids. They are playing knights and dragons."
+
+"Sure!" The neighbor says. He is nice. He likes kids. He gives the spear to Mom. He tells the dog to be quiet.
+
+"Thank you!" Mom says. She gives the spear to Anna. She hugs Anna and Ben.
+
+"Are you having fun?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes!" Anna and Ben say. They are happy. They have their spear back.
+
+"Be careful!" Mom says. She tells them to not throw the spear again. She tells them to serve lunch soon.
+
+"Okay!" Anna and Ben say. They go back to the garden. They continue to play knights and dragons. They are dizzy from running. They are hungry from playing. They are ready to serve lunch.
+Mia was playing in her room with her dolls. She liked to pretend they were having a tea party or going on an adventure. She had a big window in her room with a blue curtain. Sometimes she would open the curtain and look outside at the birds and the trees.
+
+One day, she heard a strange noise behind the curtain. It sounded like a hiss and a rustle. She was curious and a little scared. She wondered what was behind the curtain. She decided to be brave and peek behind it.
+
+She pulled the curtain aside and saw a long, green snake on the window sill. It had black spots and a forked tongue. It looked at her with small, black eyes. Mia screamed and ran away from the window. She dropped her dolls and ran to the door.
+
+"Mama, mama, there's a snake in my room!" she cried.
+
+Her mama came running and opened the door. She saw Mia crying and the snake on the window sill. She recognized the snake as a harmless garter snake. It had probably come in through a small hole in the screen.
+
+"Don't worry, Mia, it's a harmless snake. It won't hurt you. It's just looking for a warm place to stay. Let me get a box and take it outside," she said.
+
+She got a shoe box and a glove and carefully picked up the snake. She put it in the box and closed the lid. She took Mia by the hand and walked outside. She found a spot in the garden where the snake could live. She opened the box and let the snake out. It slithered away into the grass.
+
+"See, Mia, it's gone now. It's happy in the garden. You don't have to be afraid of it. It's just a different kind of animal," she said.
+
+Mia nodded and hugged her mama. She felt better and less scared. She thanked her mama for helping her. She went back to her room and picked up her dolls. She decided to pretend they were having a snake party. She made a snake out of a sock and gave it a cup of tea. She smiled and played with her dolls. She liked snakes now. They were harmless and interesting. She hoped to see one again.
+Lily and Ben were having lunch with their mom. They had sandwiches and juice and some cookies for dessert. Lily liked her sandwich very much. It had cheese and ham and lettuce. Ben liked his sandwich too, but he wanted more cheese.
+
+"Mom, can I have more cheese?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sorry, honey, we don't have any more cheese. You can have some of mine, if you want," Mom said.
+
+She took a knife and cut a piece of cheese from her sandwich. She put it on a napkin and gave it to Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Ben said. He took the napkin and the cheese and put them on his plate.
+
+Lily saw Ben's napkin. It was white and soft and had a pretty flower on it. Lily's napkin was brown and rough and had a stain on it. She did not like her napkin.
+
+"Lily, do you want a cookie?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, please," Lily said. She reached for a cookie, but she also grabbed Ben's napkin.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Ben said. He tried to pull his napkin back, but Lily held on tight.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She wanted the napkin with the flower.
+
+Mom saw them fighting over the napkin. She was not happy.
+
+"Stop it, you two. That's not nice. You have to share," Mom said.
+
+She took the napkin from Lily and gave it back to Ben.
+
+"Lily, you have your own napkin. Ben, you have your own cheese. You can both enjoy your lunch. Sharing is caring," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for being mean.
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Lily said.
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Ben said.
+
+They smiled and hugged each other. They ate their cookies and drank their juice. They used their napkins to wipe their mouths. They were happy and full.
+
+Mom was proud of them. She gave them each a kiss and a hug.
+
+"Good job, you two. Now, who wants a nap?" Mom asked.
+
+Lily and Ben raised their hands. They were tired and sleepy.
+
+They followed Mom to their bedroom. They snuggled in their beds and closed their eyes. They had a nice nap. They dreamed of cheese and flowers and cookies.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. Today, they are playing with their taxi. It is yellow and has four wheels.
+
+Anna wants to drive the taxi. She sits in the front and holds the wheel. Ben wants to drive too. He sits in the back and says, "Beep beep! Let me drive!"
+
+Anna says, "No, I am the driver. You are the passenger. You have to pay me."
+
+Ben says, "How much?"
+
+Anna says, "Two cookies."
+
+Ben says, "That is too much. I only have one cookie."
+
+Anna says, "Then you have to get out."
+
+Ben says, "No, I don't want to get out. I want to drive."
+
+They start to pull the wheel and push each other. The taxi wobbles and shakes. They are not gentle. They are rough.
+
+The taxi falls off the table and breaks. The wheels come off and the door snaps. Anna and Ben cry. They are sad and sorry.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She sees the broken taxi and the crying twins. She says, "What happened?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "We broke the taxi. We were not gentle. We were rough. We are sorry."
+
+Mom says, "It's okay. I know you are sorry. But you have to learn to share and be gentle. You can't balance the taxi on the table. It is dangerous. You could get hurt."
+
+She hugs them and kisses them. She says, "I love you both. How about we fix the taxi together? And then we can have some cookies and milk."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Yes, please. We love you too. And we love the taxi. We will share and be gentle."
+
+They smile and hug Mom. They fix the taxi with some glue and tape. They drive it on the floor and take turns. They pay each other with cookies and say, "Thank you."
+
+They are happy and have fun. They are gentle and balance.
+Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their cars and trucks. They have many wheels that can roll and zoom. One day, they find a big wheel in the garage. It is from dad's bike.
+
+"Wow, look at this wheel!" Sam says. "It is so big and round. Let's play with it!"
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful," Ben says. "Dad said this wheel is bad. It has a hole and it cannot hold air. He will fix it later."
+
+Sam and Ben take the wheel outside. They roll it on the grass and the dirt. They have fun making it go fast and slow. They pretend it is a giant car or a spaceship.
+
+But then, they hear dad's voice. He is coming back from the store. He sounds angry.
+
+"Sam! Ben! Where are you? What are you doing with my wheel? I told you not to touch it!"
+
+Sam and Ben are scared. They know they did something wrong. They hurry to put the wheel back in the garage. They hope dad will not be too mad at them.
+
+They run inside the house and hide under the bed. They hear dad open the garage door. They hear him say some words they do not understand. They hear him slam the door.
+
+They wait for a long time. They wonder what will happen next. They wish they had listened to dad. They wish they had played with their own wheels. They feel bad.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to jump in the puddles and splash each other. They saw a big puddle near a tree and ran to it.
+
+But when they got there, they saw a snake in the puddle. It was black and shiny and had a forked tongue. Anna and Ben were scared. They did not like snakes.
+
+"Let's go away!" Anna said. "The snake might bite us!"
+
+But Ben was curious. He wanted to see the snake better. He said, "Maybe the snake is harmless. Maybe it is just thirsty and wants to drink from the puddle."
+
+He took a step closer to the puddle. The snake saw him and hissed. It raised its head and opened its mouth. It showed its sharp teeth.
+
+Ben was too late to run away. The snake bit him on the leg. Ben cried out in pain. He fell to the ground and held his leg.
+
+Anna ran to him and hugged him. She was very sorry. She said, "I told you to go away! The snake was not harmless! It was mean and bad!"
+
+She called for help. A lady came and saw what happened. She called an ambulance. The ambulance came and took Ben to the hospital. The snake slithered away.
+
+Anna went with Ben to the hospital. She held his hand and said, "I hope you will be okay. I hope you will not bite snakes again."
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "I learned my lesson. I will not bite snakes again. I will listen to you next time."
+
+They hugged each other and said sorry. They were still friends.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and find things. Sometimes they found rocks, shells, or coins. They put them in a bucket and pretended they were gold.
+
+"Look, I found a big gold!" Lily said, holding up a shiny coin.
+
+"Wow, that is a nice gold!" Ben said. "Can I see?"
+
+Lily gave him the coin. He looked at it and smiled. Then he saw something move in the bushes. It was a brown dog. The dog was hungry and wanted the coin. It ran towards Ben and Lily and barked.
+
+"Help! The dog wants our gold!" Ben shouted.
+
+Lily was scared. She grabbed the bucket and ran away. But Ben did not want to leave the coin. He tried to save it from the dog. He held it tight and said, "No, dog! This is our gold! Go away!"
+
+The dog did not listen. It jumped on Ben and tried to take the coin. Ben fell down and cried. The dog was too strong.
+
+Lily heard Ben cry. She felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him. She ran back to him with the bucket. She threw some sand and rocks at the dog. The dog was surprised and let go of the coin. It ran away, whimpering.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben nodded. He was hurt, but he was brave. He picked up the coin and gave it to Lily. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You saved me and the gold. You are a good friend."
+
+Lily smiled. She hugged Ben and said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend, too. Let's go home and show our gold to mom and dad."
+Lily and Max were playing with their toy kitchen. They had cups, plates, spoons, and a big pot. They pretended to make tea and cake for their dolls and stuffed animals.
+
+"Can you pour me some tea, please?" Lily asked Max, holding out her cup.
+
+"Sure, here you go," Max said, picking up the pot. He tilted it over Lily's cup, but nothing came out. He looked inside the pot and saw it was empty. "Oh no, we have no tea!"
+
+Lily frowned. "That's not good. How can we have a tea party without tea?"
+
+Max thought for a moment. He was a smart boy and he had an idea. He ran to the bathroom and filled the pot with water. He came back and said, "Look, I found some tea! It's clear tea, very special and tasty."
+
+Lily looked at the pot and then at Max. She was not sure about his idea. She had an opinion and she said it. "That's not tea, that's water. Water is not tea. Tea is brown and hot and smells nice. Water is cold and plain and boring."
+
+Max felt sad. He wanted to make Lily happy, but she did not like his tea. He said, "But water is good for you. It makes you healthy and strong. And you can pretend it's tea. You can add sugar and milk and lemon and anything you want."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She was a smart girl and she liked to try new things. She said, "OK, let's try it. Maybe it's not so bad. Maybe it's fun to make our own tea. Thank you, Max, for finding some water for us."
+
+Max smiled. He was glad Lily was not angry with him. He said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're a good friend. Let's pour some water for our dolls and animals and have a nice tea party."
+
+They poured some water for their cups and plates and spoons. They added sugar and milk and lemon and anything they wanted. They pretended it was tea and they drank it and said it was delicious. They had a lot of fun and they shared their opinions and stories. They were smart and happy and they loved each other.
+Tom was a goat who liked to chew. He chewed grass, leaves, flowers and sometimes even paper. He had long horns that he used to push and play with his friends. He was happy and hungry most of the time.
+
+One day, he saw a big red balloon tied to a fence. He thought it looked like a tasty fruit. He ran towards it and tried to bite it with his teeth. But the balloon was not a fruit. It was full of air and it popped with a loud bang. Tom was scared and surprised. He felt something on his head. It was the balloon. It was stuck on his horn.
+
+"Help! Help!" he cried. "Get this thing off me!"
+
+His friends heard him and came to see what was wrong. They saw Tom with the balloon on his horn and they laughed. They thought it was funny.
+
+"Ha ha ha! Look at Tom! He has a red hat!" they said.
+
+Tom did not think it was funny. He felt silly and angry. He shook his head and tried to get rid of the balloon. But it was too tight and it did not come off.
+
+"Stop laughing! It's not funny! Help me!" he said.
+
+One of his friends, Lucy, felt sorry for him. She was a goat who liked to help. She came closer to Tom and used her teeth to pull the balloon off his horn. She was careful not to hurt him.
+
+"There you go, Tom. It's off now. Are you okay?" she said.
+
+Tom felt relieved and grateful. He thanked Lucy and gave her a hug.
+
+"Thank you, Lucy. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I was silly. I thought it was a fruit. I won't chew balloons again. They are not good for goats." he said.
+
+Lucy smiled and nodded.
+
+"You're welcome, Tom. I'm glad you're okay. Balloons are not good for goats. They are good for playing. But you have to be careful. They can pop and scare you." she said.
+
+Tom and Lucy joined their friends and played with the balloon. They had fun and learned a lesson. They never chewed balloons again. They only chewed grass, leaves, flowers and sometimes paper. They were happy and hungry most of the time.
+Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat steak for dinner. Steak was their favorite food. It was big and juicy and yummy.
+
+Mom was cooking steak in the kitchen. She put some salt and pepper on it. She flipped it with a big fork. It smelled good.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the kitchen. They saw the steak on the pan. They wanted to grab it and eat it. But Mom said, "No, no, no. The steak is hot. You have to wait. It is not ready yet."
+
+Tom and Lily were sad. They did not want to wait. They wanted to eat steak now. They looked at each other. They had an idea.
+
+They waited until Mom was busy. She was cutting some salad. She did not see them. They sneaked to the pan. They reached for the steak. They grabbed it with their hands.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" they cried. The steak was hot. It burned their fingers. They dropped the steak on the floor. It made a loud noise.
+
+Mom turned around. She saw the steak on the floor. She saw Tom and Lily holding their fingers. She was angry.
+
+"What did you do?" she asked. "Why did you grab the steak? I told you to wait. You were naughty. You wasted the steak. And you hurt yourselves."
+
+Tom and Lily were sorry. They knew they were naughty. They did not listen to Mom. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were hungry. We wanted to eat steak. We did not mean to waste it. And we did not mean to hurt ourselves."
+
+Mom sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was sad. She said, "I know you were hungry. But you have to be patient. And you have to be careful. The steak is hot. It can burn you. You have to wait until it is cool. And you have to use a plate and a knife and a fork. Not your hands."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They said, "We will be patient. And we will be careful. We will use a plate and a knife and a fork. Not our hands."
+
+Mom smiled. She hugged them. She said, "That's good. I love you. You are my dependable children. You always learn from your mistakes. Now, let's clean up the mess. And then, we can have some chicken instead of steak. Is that okay?"
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They said, "Yes, Mom. We love you too. You are our dependable mom. You always make us good food. And you always forgive us. Chicken is okay. It is also yummy."
+
+They cleaned up the mess. They washed their hands. They sat at the table. They ate some chicken. They were happy. They thanked Mom for the dinner. They said, "Mom, you are the best."
+Tom and Anna liked to play with their toy animals. They had a cow, a sheep, a horse and a mule. The mule was their favorite. It was brown and soft and had long ears.
+
+One day, they decided to pretend that the mule was a delivery mule. They put some boxes and bags on its back and tied them with a rope. They said the mule had to deliver the things to different places.
+
+"Let's go, mule!" Tom said. "We have to take this box to the farm."
+
+They walked around the room, making mule noises. They stopped at a corner and pretended it was the farm. They gave the box to a toy farmer.
+
+"Thank you, mule!" the farmer said. "You are a good delivery mule."
+
+They continued their journey, delivering more things to different places. They had fun and the mule was happy.
+
+But then, they saw something that made them stop. It was an enormous teddy bear. It was bigger than them and the mule. It was sitting on the sofa, looking at them.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Anna said. "It's an enormous teddy bear!"
+
+"Maybe it's a new toy for us," Tom said. "Let's go and say hello."
+
+They walked towards the teddy bear, but the mule was scared. It did not like the enormous teddy bear. It thought it was a monster. It started to kick and buck, trying to get away.
+
+"Whoa, mule, calm down!" Tom said. "It's just a teddy bear. It won't hurt you."
+
+But the mule did not listen. It threw off the boxes and bags from its back and ran away. It knocked over a lamp and a chair and made a big mess.
+
+Tom and Anna were sad. They did not want to lose their mule. They followed it and tried to catch it.
+
+"Mule, come back!" Anna said. "We love you. We're sorry we scared you."
+
+They found the mule hiding under the bed. It was shaking and snorting. They crawled under the bed and hugged it.
+
+"It's okay, mule," Tom said. "We're sorry we scared you. We won't take you near the enormous teddy bear again."
+
+The mule felt better. It licked their faces and nuzzled them. They smiled and petted it.
+
+They decided to end their delivery game and play something else. They took the mule out from under the bed and cleaned up the mess. They put the boxes and bags back on the shelf and the teddy bear on the sofa.
+
+They played with their other toy animals and had fun. They did not forget to give the mule some extra carrots and hay. They loved their mule and their mule loved them. They were happy.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair and a blue dress. Lily liked to brush Anna's hair and make her talk.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said they were going to visit her aunt. Lily wanted to bring Anna with her. She put Anna in her backpack and got ready to go.
+
+"Are you sure you want to take Anna?" Mom asked. "We will be on a boat for a long time. It might be bumpy and wet."
+
+Lily nodded. "Yes, I want Anna. She is my best friend. She likes boats."
+
+Mom smiled. "Okay, then. But you have to be careful with her. And you have to be independent. That means you have to do things by yourself, like holding your backpack and sitting still."
+
+Lily said she understood. She was a big girl. She could be independent.
+
+They got on the boat. It was a big boat with a lot of people. Lily saw the water. It was blue and shiny. She liked the water. She wanted to see more.
+
+She asked Mom if she could go to the port. The port was the place where the boat stopped and people got off and on. Mom said yes, but only if she held her hand and stayed close.
+
+They walked to the port. Lily saw many things. She saw other boats, big and small. She saw birds, white and gray. She saw shops, with toys and candy. She saw a man with a guitar, playing music.
+
+Lily liked the music. She wanted to listen. She let go of Mom's hand and ran to the man. She forgot about Anna in her backpack.
+
+"Hello, little girl," the man said. "Do you like my music?"
+
+Lily nodded. "Yes, I like it. It is pretty."
+
+The man smiled. "Thank you. Do you want to hear more?"
+
+Lily nodded again. "Yes, please."
+
+The man played more songs. He sang about the sea, the stars, and the wind. Lily clapped and danced. She was happy.
+
+Mom looked for Lily. She was worried. She did not see her anywhere. She asked people if they had seen her. No one had.
+
+She ran to the port. She hoped Lily was there. She saw the man with the guitar. She saw Lily.
+
+She was relieved. She ran to Lily and hugged her.
+
+"Lily, where have you been?" Mom asked. "I was so scared. You have to stay with me. You can't run away like that."
+
+Lily looked at Mom. She was sorry. She did not mean to make Mom scared.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Lily said. "I wanted to hear the music. It was pretty."
+
+Mom sighed. "I know, Lily. But you have to be careful. There are many dangers on the boat and in the port. You have to listen to me and follow the rules."
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She had to be careful.
+
+The man with the guitar saw them. He came over.
+
+"Hello, ma'am," he said. "Is this your daughter?"
+
+Mom nodded. "Yes, this is Lily. She likes your music."
+
+The man smiled. "She is a sweet girl. And she has good taste. I'm glad she enjoyed my music."
+
+He looked at Lily. He saw her backpack. He saw Anna.
+
+"Is this your doll?" he asked.
+
+Lily nodded. "Yes, this is Anna. She is my best friend. She likes boats."
+
+The man smiled again. "She is a lovely doll. And she is very brave. She came on a boat with you. That is not easy for a doll."
+
+He took out a small pin from his pocket. It had a picture of a boat on it.
+
+"Here, I have a gift for you and your doll," he said. "This is a boat pin. It is a sign of being independent. That means you can do things by yourself, like traveling on a boat. I recommend you wear it proudly. It will remind you of your adventure."
+
+He gave the pin to Lily. Lily smiled. She liked the pin. She thanked the man.
+
+She put the pin on Anna's dress. She showed it to Mom.
+
+"Look, Mom," Lily said. "Anna has a boat pin. She is independent. She can do things by herself."
+
+Mom smiled. She was proud of Lily and Anna. They were independent. They could do things by themselves.
+
+But they also needed each other. And they needed Mom.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and Anna. She thanked the man for his gift and his music.
+
+They said goodbye to the man. They walked back to their seat on the boat.
+
+They enjoyed the rest of the trip. They saw more water, more birds,
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a lot of toys. She has dolls, cars, blocks, and books. Tom has some toys too, but not as many as Lily.
+
+One day, Lily invites Tom to her house. She shows him her toys. She says, "Look at my toys. I own them. They are great. Do you want to play with them?"
+
+Tom nods. He likes Lily's toys. He sees a big dollhouse. He says, "Can I play with the dollhouse? It is great."
+
+Lily says, "No, you can't. The dollhouse is mine. I own it. It is upstairs. You can't go upstairs. You can play with the other toys."
+
+Tom feels sad. He wants to play with the dollhouse. He thinks it is not fair. He says, "Why can't I go upstairs? Why can't I play with the dollhouse? You have so many toys. You can share."
+
+Lily says, "No, I can't. The dollhouse is special. It was a gift from my grandma. She made it for me. You can't touch it. It is mine."
+
+Tom feels angry. He thinks Lily is mean. He says, "You are not a good friend. You are selfish. You don't share. I don't want to play with you. I want to go home."
+
+Lily feels sorry. She likes Tom. She doesn't want to lose him. She says, "Wait, Tom. Don't go. I'm sorry. I was wrong. You can play with the dollhouse. You can go upstairs. You can be my friend."
+
+Tom smiles. He is happy. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You are kind. You can share. I want to play with you. I want to see the dollhouse."
+
+Lily and Tom go upstairs. They play with the dollhouse. They have fun. They are friends. They own great toys.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to wander. They wandered in the park, in the street, and in the mall. But their favorite place to wander was the jungle. The jungle had many animals, plants, and sounds. Lily and Max wanted to see them all.
+
+One day, they wandered too far from their mom and dad. They saw a big, green snake on a branch. They saw a red, noisy bird in the sky. They saw a yellow, furry monkey on a vine. They followed the monkey, who was very fast and funny. They did not see where they were going.
+
+"Look, Max, the monkey is going to that big, brown hut!" Lily said. "Maybe he lives there. Let's go see!"
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. The hut looks old and dark," Max said.
+
+They ran to the hut, but the monkey was gone. They peeked inside the hut. It was very organized. There were many things on shelves and tables. There were books, maps, tools, and toys. There were also pictures of people and animals on the walls.
+
+"Wow, Lily, this hut is amazing! Who lives here?" Max asked.
+
+"I don't know, Max, but maybe we can find out. Look, there is a book with a jungle on the cover. Maybe it has stories about the jungle," Lily said.
+
+She picked up the book and opened it. But before she could read it, they heard a voice behind them.
+
+"Hello, little wanderers. What are you doing in my hut?" the voice said.
+
+Lily and Max turned around and saw a man standing in the doorway. He had a big, white beard and a hat. He smiled at them, but they were scared.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asked.
+
+"I am Jack, the jungle explorer. And you are?" Jack asked.
+
+"I am Lily, and this is my brother Max. We are sorry, we did not know this was your hut. We were following a monkey, and we got lost," Lily said.
+
+"Ah, I see. Well, don't worry, I won't hurt you. I like monkeys, too. They are my friends. And I like children, too. They are curious and brave. But you should not wander alone in the jungle. It can be dangerous. Where are your mom and dad?" Jack asked.
+
+"They are at the camp, near the river. We wandered away from them. We are sorry," Max said.
+
+"Well, then, we should go back to them. They must be worried about you. Come on, I will show you the way. And I will tell you some stories about the jungle on the way. How does that sound?" Jack asked.
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They were happy that Jack was nice and helpful. They followed him out of the hut, holding his hands. They hoped to see the monkey again, and to learn more about the jungle. They also hoped that their mom and dad would not be too angry with them. They learned that wandering can be fun, but also risky. They decided to be more careful next time.
+Lily loved to watch the reindeer in the park. They had big horns and soft fur and ran very fast. Sometimes they made funny noises and Lily laughed. She wanted to touch them and play with them, but they were too far away.
+
+One day, Lily saw a baby reindeer near the fence. It was smaller than the others and had no horns yet. It looked at Lily with big eyes and came closer. Lily was very happy and reached out her hand. She wanted to pet the baby reindeer and say hello.
+
+But the baby reindeer was scared. It did not know Lily and did not like the fence. It turned around and ran back to its mother. Lily was sad and cried. She wanted to be friends with the baby reindeer.
+
+"Hey, don't cry, Lily," said her dad, who was watching her. "The baby reindeer is just shy. Maybe next time it will come to you."
+
+"Really?" asked Lily, wiping her tears.
+
+"Really," said her dad. "But you have to be patient and gentle. Reindeer are wild animals and they need time to trust people. Do you think you can do that?"
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted to try again. She loved the reindeer and wanted to make them happy. She hoped the baby reindeer would come back and let her pet it. She smiled and said, "I will manage, dad. I will be a good friend to the reindeer."
+Lily was a shy girl who liked to play in the forest. She loved to look at the flowers, the birds and the bugs. She also liked to find mushrooms, but she never ate them. She knew some mushrooms were bad and could make her sick.
+
+One day, she saw a big mushroom with red spots. It looked very pretty and shiny. She wanted to touch it, but she was afraid. She heard a voice say, "Hello, little girl. Do you like my mushroom?"
+
+Lily looked around and saw a small man with a long beard and a pointy hat. He was sitting on a stump next to the mushroom. He smiled at her and waved.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asked, feeling curious but also scared.
+
+"I am a gnome, and this is my home. I live under the mushroom. It is very cozy and warm. Do you want to see?" the gnome said.
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not want to go under the mushroom. She did not know the gnome. He could be nice, but he could also be mean.
+
+"Thank you, but no. I have to go home soon. My mom is waiting for me," she said.
+
+The gnome nodded. He understood. He was shy too. He did not have many friends in the forest.
+
+"Maybe you can come back another day and play with me. I have some toys and books under the mushroom. We can have fun together," he said.
+
+Lily thought about it. She liked toys and books. She also liked the gnome. He seemed friendly and kind.
+
+"Maybe I will. But I have to ask my mom first. She has to know where I am," she said.
+
+The gnome agreed. He said it was good to listen to mom. He gave Lily a small flower as a gift. He said it was a magic flower that could make her happy.
+
+Lily smiled and thanked him. She took the flower and put it in her hair. She said goodbye to the gnome and walked away. She looked back and saw him wave. She waved back and felt happy.
+
+She decided to come back another day and play with the gnome. She hoped he would not be too shy to pass her his toys and books. She thought he could be her new friend.
+Sara is a big girl. She likes to do things by herself. She is independent. She does not need help to brush her teeth, put on her shoes, or eat her breakfast.
+
+One day, Sara wants to go to the park with her mom. She puts on her coat and hat. She says, "Mom, I am ready. Let's go."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Okay, Sara. But first, let me rub your neck. It is cold outside. You might get sick."
+
+Sara does not like it when mom rubs her neck. She says, "No, mom. Stop. I don't need it. I am not a baby. I am a big girl."
+
+Mom says, "I know, Sara. You are a big girl. But you are also my girl. And I love you. And I want you to be warm and healthy. A little rub won't hurt. It will make you feel good."
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She loves mom too. She does not want to make mom sad. She says, "Okay, mom. You can rub my neck. But only for a little bit. Then we can go to the park."
+
+Mom says, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind. And very independent. And very brave. And very smart. And very beautiful. And I am very proud of you."
+
+Mom rubs Sara's neck gently. Sara feels the warmth and the love. She smiles and hugs mom. She says, "I love you, mom. You are the best."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Sara. You are the best too. Now, let's go to the park and have some fun."
+Lila and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They liked to watch them and learn their names.
+
+Then they came to a big cage with a rhinoceros. It was gray and had a horn on its nose. Lila and Ben thought it was cool.
+
+"Look, Mom, a rhinoceros!" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, it's a rhinoceros. It's very strong and can run fast," Mom said.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Lila asked.
+
+"No, honey, we can't touch it. It's not safe. We have to stay behind the fence," Dad said.
+
+They stayed and watched the rhinoceros for a while. It was eating some grass and leaves. Then it made a loud noise and walked away.
+
+"What was that?" Lila asked.
+
+"That was its roar. It's how it talks to other rhinoceroses," Mom said.
+
+"Does it have friends?" Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe. Sometimes rhinoceroses live in groups, sometimes they live alone. They are very shy animals," Dad said.
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They understood. They were shy too, sometimes.
+
+They waved goodbye to the rhinoceros and went to see other animals. They had a lot of fun at the zoo.
+
+On their way home, they saw a big pile of trash on the side of the road. It smelled bad and had flies around it.
+
+"Yuck, what's that?" Lila asked.
+
+"That's trash. It's what people throw away when they don't need it anymore," Mom said.
+
+"Why does it smell bad?" Ben asked.
+
+"Because it's rotting. That means it's breaking down and changing. Some things rot faster than others. Some things don't rot at all," Dad said.
+
+"Like what?" Lila asked.
+
+"Like plastic. Plastic is a kind of material that doesn't rot. It stays the same for a long time. That's why we have to be careful with it and not use too much of it," Mom said.
+
+"Can we recycle it?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, we can. Recycling means we use something again instead of throwing it away. It's good for the earth and the animals," Dad said.
+
+Lila and Ben looked out the window and saw the clear sky and the green trees. They liked the earth and the animals. They wanted to help them.
+
+They decided to recycle their plastic bottles and bags when they got home. They also decided to draw a picture of the rhinoceros and give it to Mom and Dad. They were happy. They had learned a lot today.
+Tom liked to play with his toy dinosaurs. He had big ones and small ones, green ones and brown ones. He liked to make them roar and fight and run on his carpet.
+
+One day, he found a new dinosaur in his toy box. It was brown and had a long neck and a long tail. It was bigger than all his other dinosaurs. Tom was very happy. He named it Rex.
+
+He put Rex on his bed and went to get his other dinosaurs. He wanted to play a game where Rex was the king of the dinosaurs and the others had to obey him.
+
+But when he came back, he saw something strange. Rex was not on his bed anymore. He was on the floor, and he was very small. He was smaller than Tom's hand. Tom was very surprised. He picked up Rex and looked at him.
+
+"Rex, what happened to you?" he asked. "Why did you shrink?"
+
+Rex did not answer. He only made a tiny roar. Tom felt sorry for him. He wondered how Rex shrank and how he could make him big again.
+
+He decided to take Rex to his mom. Maybe she could help. He put Rex in his pocket and ran to the kitchen.
+
+"Mom, mom, look at my dinosaur!" he said. "He was big, but now he is small. He shrank. Can you make him big again?"
+
+Mom looked at Rex and smiled. She took him out of Tom's pocket and held him in her hand.
+
+"Tom, this is not a real dinosaur. This is a magic dinosaur. He can change his size when he wants to. He shrank because he was scared of falling from your bed. If you are nice to him and make him feel safe, he will grow again."
+
+Tom was amazed. He did not know he had a magic dinosaur. He wanted to see Rex grow again. He took him from his mom and hugged him gently.
+
+"Rex, I'm sorry you were scared. I like you very much. You are my friend. Please grow again. Please be big."
+
+Rex felt Tom's love and warmth. He made a bigger roar and started to grow. He grew bigger and bigger until he was the same size as before. Tom was very happy. He thanked his mom and ran back to his room with Rex.
+
+He played with Rex and his other dinosaurs for a long time. He made sure Rex was always comfortable and happy. He never let him shrink again. He was the best king of the dinosaurs.
+Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She was happy when she painted.
+
+One day, a man came to her house. He was a painter too. He was famous. Many people liked his paintings. He wanted to see Lily's paintings.
+
+"Hello, Lily. I am Sam. I am a painter. Can I see your paintings?" he asked.
+
+Lily was shy. She did not know Sam. But he was nice and smiled. She nodded and took him to her room.
+
+"Wow, Lily. Your paintings are beautiful. You have a lot of talent. You use colors very well. I like your flowers and trees and animals. You are a great painter," he said.
+
+Lily was happy. She liked Sam. He liked her paintings. He was a painter like her. She wanted to show him more.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. Do you want to see more? I have more paintings in the basement. Come with me," she said.
+
+Sam agreed. He followed Lily to the basement. He was curious to see more of her paintings. He was glad he came to her house. He felt welcome. He liked Lily. She was a painter like him.
+Sara and Ben love to sing. They sing all the time, at home, at school, and in the park. They sing loud and soft, fast and slow, happy and sad. They sing songs they know and songs they make up.
+
+One day, their mom tells them they are going to see an opera. Sara and Ben do not know what an opera is. Mom says it is a big show with singers and music and costumes and stories. She says they will like it a lot.
+
+They go to a big building with many people. They find their seats and wait for the show to start. The lights go down and the music begins. Sara and Ben see people on the stage, dressed in beautiful clothes. They hear them sing in a language they do not understand. They sing very high and very low, very loud and very soft. They sing with emotion and expression. They sing about love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death.
+
+Sara and Ben are amazed. They watch and listen with wonder and curiosity. They feel the music in their hearts and souls. They see the stories in their minds and imaginations. They clap and cheer when the show is over.
+
+Mom hugs them and asks them if they liked the opera. Sara and Ben nod and smile. They say they loved it. They say they want to sing like that too. Mom says they can. She says she will provide them with lessons and books and CDs. She says they have talent and passion. She says she is proud of them.
+
+Sara and Ben hug mom and thank her. They feel warm and happy. They walk out of the building, singing their own opera. They sing all the way home.
+Anna did not like broccoli. She thought it was green and yucky. She did not want to eat it for dinner. She wanted to eat pizza or ice cream or cookies.
+
+But Mom said she had to eat her broccoli. She said it was good for her and it would make her strong and healthy. She said if Anna did not eat her broccoli, she could not watch her favorite show or play with her toys.
+
+Anna was anxious. She did not want to miss her show or her toys. But she also did not want to eat her broccoli. She looked at her plate and saw the big pile of broccoli. She felt angry and sad.
+
+She had an idea. She picked up her broccoli and tore it into small pieces. She threw the pieces under the table and hoped Mom would not see. She smiled and said, "Look, Mom, I ate all my broccoli!"
+
+Mom looked at Anna's plate and saw it was empty. She was happy and proud. She said, "Good job, Anna! You ate all your broccoli! You are a big girl!"
+
+But then she saw the dog. The dog was under the table and was eating the broccoli pieces. The dog was making a mess and was making noises. Mom was not happy and proud anymore. She was angry and disappointed.
+
+She said, "Anna, what did you do? You did not eat your broccoli, you tore it and threw it to the dog! That is not nice and not honest! You have to eat your broccoli, not waste it!"
+
+Anna felt bad. She knew she did something wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I did not like the broccoli. I wanted to watch my show and play with my toys."
+
+Mom said, "I understand, Anna. But you have to eat your vegetables, even if you do not like them. They are good for you and they are not yucky. And you have to tell the truth, even if you are afraid. Lying is not okay. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nodded. She said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I will eat my broccoli and I will not lie again. Can I still watch my show and play with my toys?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, Anna. You can watch your show and play with your toys. But only after you eat your broccoli. And you have to share some with the dog. He likes broccoli too."
+
+Anna said, "Okay, Mom. I will eat my broccoli and share with the dog. Thank you, Mom. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Anna. And I'm proud of you for saying sorry and learning from your mistake."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+But then the sun came out and the snow started to melt. The snowman's hat and scarf fell off. His nose and eyes dropped to the ground. He became smaller and smaller. Tom and Lily were very sad.
+
+They ran to their house and got a big cloth. They wrapped it around the snowman to keep him warm. They hoped he would not go away.
+
+"Please don't leave us, Mr. Snowman," Lily said. "We love you very much."

+The snowman did not say anything. He just shivered in the cloth. He was very cold.
+
+Tom and Lily hugged him and cried. They wished the snow would come back. They wanted to play with their snowman again.

+
+"Make a wish, Sam!" his mom said.

+
+He ran to the box and opened it. But it was not a bike. It was a gray sweater. Sam felt sad and angry. He did not like sweaters. He did not like gray. He wanted a bike.
+
+"Thank you, grandma," he said in a small voice. He did not want to be rude, but he did not like his gift.
+
+Grandma smiled and hugged him. "You're welcome, Sam. I made this sweater for you. It will keep you warm and cozy. Don't you like it?"

+
+"Let's go on the spin thing!" Tom says.
+
+"OK!" Mia says.

+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Mia says.
+
+"Too fast!" Tom says.
+
+He tries to stop the spin thing, but he can't. He loses his balance and falls off. He lands on the grass. Mia sees him fall and gets scared.

+Anna and Ben love to play with their blocks. They like to build towers and bridges and castles. Sometimes they knock them down and laugh. But today they want to try something new. They want to balance the blocks on their heads.
+
+"Look, Anna, I can balance two blocks on my head!" Ben says. He walks slowly and carefully around the room. He feels proud and happy.
+
+"Wow, Ben, you are good at balancing!" Anna says. She tries to balance one block on her head, but it falls off. She tries again and again, but she can't do it. She feels sad and angry.

+Ella loved to help her elderly grandma fix things. Grandma had a big box of tools and rags that she used to mend broken toys, chairs, and lamps. Ella liked to watch and learn from her grandma, and sometimes she got to hold a tool or a rag for her.
+
+One day, Ella found a rag doll in the attic. It was very old and dirty, and its arm was torn. Ella felt sorry for the doll and wanted to make it better. She brought it to her grandma and asked, "Can we fix it, Grandma?"
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "Of course we can, Ella. This doll was mine when I was a little girl, just like you. It was my favorite toy, and I named it Daisy. Let's see what we can do to fix Daisy."
+
+Grandma and Ella went to the box of tools and rags and found a needle, some thread, and a clean rag. Grandma showed Ella how to sew the doll's arm back on, and how to wash the doll's face and hair with the rag. Ella helped by holding the doll and the rag, and by telling Daisy stories to make her feel better.
+
+When they were done, the doll looked much happier and cleaner. Ella hugged the doll and said, "Thank you, Grandma, for fixing Daisy. She is very pretty and soft. Can I keep her?"
+
+Grandma hugged Ella and the doll and said, "You're welcome, Ella. I'm glad you like Daisy. She needs a good home and a good friend. You can keep her, and I hope you will love her as much as I did."
+Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with their wealthy parents. They had many toys and clothes and books, but they were not happy. They wanted to play with other children, but their parents were always busy or away.
+
+One day, their parents hired a new maid, Anna, who came from a faraway country. Anna was very kind and friendly, and she liked to polish the shiny things in the house. She also liked to tell stories about her home and family, who were not wealthy, but happy.
+
+Tom and Lily liked Anna very much, and they asked her if they could help her polish the things. Anna smiled and said yes, and gave them each a soft cloth and a bottle of juice. They followed her around the house, polishing the tables, the chairs, the lamps, and the mirrors. They also listened to her stories and asked her questions.
+
+As they polished, they saw their own faces in the shiny things, and they noticed how they looked alike, but also different. Tom had brown hair and blue eyes, and Lily had blond hair and green eyes. They also saw Anna's face, which was dark and had brown eyes.
+
+"Anna, you are very pretty," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are very pretty too. And so is Tom," Anna said.
+
+"Anna, why do you have a different color than us?" Tom asked.
+
+"Because I come from a different place than you. But we are all the same inside. We all have hearts and feelings and dreams," Anna said.
+
+"Anna, do you miss your home and family?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. But I also like it here, because I have you and your parents and the other maids. They are like my new family," Anna said.
+
+Tom and Lily hugged Anna and said they were happy she was here too. They finished polishing the things and drank their juice. They felt warm and cozy and glad. They decided they liked polishing, because it made things bright and beautiful, and it made them closer to Anna. They also decided they wanted to learn more about Anna's home and family, and maybe visit them someday. They thought that being wealthy was nice, but being happy was nicer.
+Anna liked to read stories with her mom. She had many books with pictures and words. She liked stories about animals, princesses, and pirates. She also liked to make up her own stories and tell them to her mom.
+
+One day, Anna found a new book on the shelf. It had a big red dragon on the cover. She wanted to read it with her mom. She asked her mom to sit with her on the couch and read the book. Her mom said yes and opened the book.
+
+But when they started to read, Anna did not like the book. The book was scary. The dragon was mean and loud. He breathed fire and chased people. He made Anna feel afraid. She did not want to read the book anymore. She wanted to stop.
+
+"Mom, I don't like this book. It is too scary. Can we read another book?" Anna said.
+
+Her mom looked at her and smiled. She said, "It's okay, Anna. This book is not real. It is just a story. The dragon is not here. He can't hurt you. You don't have to be afraid."
+
+But Anna did not listen. She did not want to hear about the dragon. She wanted to close the book and forget about it. She started to cry and scream. She threw the book on the floor. She panicked.
+
+Her mom tried to calm her down. She said, "Anna, please don't cry. Please don't scream. Please don't throw the book. It is not nice. You are making a mess. You are being grumpy. Why don't you take a deep breath and calm down?"
+
+But Anna did not calm down. She kept crying and screaming. She did not want to take a deep breath. She did not want to be nice. She wanted to be grumpy. She wanted to be left alone.
+
+Her mom sighed. She said, "Anna, I love you. But you need to stop. You need to listen to me. You need to be polite. You need to apologize. You need to pick up the book. You need to say sorry to the book. You need to give the book a hug."
+
+Anna looked at her mom. She looked at the book. She did not want to do any of those things. She did not want to love the book. She wanted to hate the book. She wanted to throw the book away. She said, "No, mom. I don't want to. I don't have to. I won't do it."
+
+Her mom frowned. She said, "Anna, that is not nice. That is not polite. That is not how we talk. That is not how we act. You are being very rude. You are being very naughty. You are making me very sad. You are making me very angry."
+
+Anna did not care. She did not care if she was rude. She did not care if she was naughty. She did not care if she made her mom sad. She did not care if she made her mom angry. She did not care about anything. She only cared about herself.
+
+She said, "I don't care, mom. I don't care about you. I don't care about the book. I don't care about anything. I only care about me."
+
+Her mom gasped. She said, "Anna, how can you say that? How can you be so selfish? How can you be so mean? How can you be so ungrateful? How can you be so bad?"
+
+Anna shrugged. She said, "I don't know, mom. I don't know why. I don't know how. I don't know what. I don't know anything."
+
+Her mom shook her head. She said, "Anna, I don't know what to do with you. I don't know how to help you. I don't know how to make you happy. I don't know how to make you good."
+
+Anna said, "Maybe you can't, mom. Maybe you can't do anything. Maybe you can't help me. Maybe you can't make me happy. Maybe you can't make me good."
+
+Her mom cried. She said, "Anna, please don't say that. Please don't think that. Please don't feel that. Please don't be that. Please don't be like that. Please be different. Please be better. Please be my Anna."
+
+Anna said, "I don't know, mom. I don't know if I can. I don't know if I want to. I don't know if I will. I don't know who I am."
+
+Her mom hugged her. She said, "Anna, I know who you are. You are my daughter. You are my love. You are my joy. You are my hope. You are my Anna. And I will always love
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. They want to make a gift for their moms. They think of a good idea.
+
+"Let's print our hands on the paper!" Lily says. "We can make a holiday card for our moms. They will love it!"
+
+Ben nods. He likes the idea. He picks a red crayon. Lily picks a green one. They put their hands on the paper and trace them with the crayons. Then they write their names and "Happy Holiday" on the paper.
+
+They look at their cards. They are very cute. They smile.
+
+"Can we give them to our moms now?" Ben asks.
+
+Lily shakes her head. "No, we have to wait. We have to hide them until the holiday. It will be a surprise!"
+
+Ben agrees. They find a good place to hide their cards. They are very happy. They hug each other.
+
+They can't wait to see their moms' faces when they give them their cards. They know their moms will be very happy too.
+Lily was a good girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a book. She liked to make her doll talk to her car and her ball bounce on the book. She was happy when she played.
+
+One day, her mom said, "Lily, we have to leave soon. We are going to visit grandma. Put your toys away and get your coat." Lily did not want to leave. She wanted to play more. She said, "No, mom, I want to stay. I want to play."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, we have to go. Grandma is waiting for us. She has a surprise for you. You can play with your toys later. Come on, be a good girl and listen to mom." Lily was curious about the surprise. She liked grandma. She said, "Okay, mom, I will go. But can I take my doll with me?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can take your doll with you. She can see grandma too. But you have to put the other toys away first. Can you do that?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I can do that." She put her ball, her car and her book in a box. She hugged her doll and said, "Come on, doll, let's go see grandma. Maybe she has a new toy for us."
+
+Lily and mom left the house and got in the car. Lily held her doll on her lap and looked out the window. She saw trees, birds, houses and cars. She wondered what the surprise was. She was excited to see grandma. She was a good girl who listened to mom. She was happy.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to learn new things. She had a big book with many pictures and words. She liked to look at the book and ask her mom what the words meant.
+
+One day, she saw a picture of a clock. It was round and had two sticks and some numbers. She asked her mom, "What is this?"
+
+Her mom said, "That is a clock. It tells you what time it is. The stick that is short is the hour and the stick that is long is the minute. The numbers go from one to twelve."
+
+Sara wanted to learn how to read the clock. She asked her mom, "Can you teach me how to read the clock?"
+
+Her mom said, "Sure, I can teach you. But first, you have to learn the numbers. Do you know the numbers?"
+
+Sara nodded. She knew the numbers from one to ten. She could count them on her fingers. She said, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten."
+
+Her mom said, "Very good. But you need to know two more numbers. Eleven and twelve. Can you say them?"
+
+Sara tried to say them. She said, "Eleven, twelve."
+
+Her mom said, "Good. Now you know all the numbers on the clock. Let's look at the clock and see what time it is."
+
+They looked at the clock on the wall. The short stick was pointing at four and the long stick was pointing at six. Her mom said, "The hour is four and the minute is six. So the time is four o'clock and six minutes. Can you say that?"
+
+Sara repeated, "Four o'clock and six minutes."
+
+Her mom said, "Very good. You are learning how to read the clock. Do you want to learn more?"
+
+Sara said, "Yes, I want to learn more. Can you show me another clock?"
+
+Her mom said, "Sure. Let's go to the kitchen. There is another clock there. But it is different from the one on the wall. It is fat and has buttons and a screen. It is called a microwave."
+
+They went to the kitchen and saw the microwave. Sara looked at the screen and saw some numbers. She asked her mom, "What are these numbers?"
+
+Her mom said, "These numbers are also the time. But they are in a different way. They use two numbers for the hour and two numbers for the minute. And they have a colon in between. The colon means that the numbers are separated. For example, right now the screen says 16:06. That means the hour is 16 and the minute is 06. But we don't say 16 o'clock and 06 minutes. We say four o'clock and six minutes. Because 16 is the same as four plus twelve. And 06 is the same as six. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara thought for a moment. She said, "I think I understand. The fat clock has more numbers than the round clock. But they mean the same thing. The fat clock uses two numbers for the hour and two numbers for the minute. And the round clock uses one number for the hour and one number for the minute. And the colon means that the numbers are separated. Is that right?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, that is right. You are very smart. You are learning how to read different clocks. I am proud of you."
+
+Sara smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. I like to learn new things. Can we learn more things tomorrow?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, we can. There are many things to learn in the world. And I will always be here to help you. Now, let's go and have some cookies. You deserve a treat for learning so much today."
+
+Sara said, "Yay, cookies! I love cookies. Can I have a chocolate one?"
+
+Her mom said, "Sure, you can. But don't eat too many. Or you will become fat like the microwave."
+
+Sara laughed. She said, "No, I don't want to be fat like the microwave. I want to be healthy and happy. And I want to learn more things with you, mom."
+
+Her mom hugged her. She said, "I love you, Sara. You are my best learner."
+
+They went to the table and had some cookies. They looked at the clocks and said the time. They had fun learning and eating together.
+Tom and Sue were eager to go on a hike with their dad. They liked to see the trees, the birds, and the rocks. They put on their hats, their shoes, and their backpacks. They followed their dad on the path.
+
+Soon they came to a big cliff. It was very high and steep. They could see the river far below. Tom and Sue wanted to get closer to the edge, but their dad said, "No, it is not safe. The cliff can split and fall. You can stay here and look, but do not go too near."
+
+Tom and Sue nodded, but they were curious. They wanted to see more of the cliff. They saw a small rock that was loose. They thought it would be fun to kick it and watch it fall. They looked at their dad, who was busy taking pictures. They sneaked to the rock and kicked it hard.
+
+The rock rolled and bounced on the cliff. It made a loud noise. It hit another rock, and another, and another. The rocks started to split and break. They fell down the cliff in a big cloud of dust. Tom and Sue gasped. They had made a landslide!
+
+Their dad heard the noise and turned around. He saw the rocks falling and his children near the edge. He ran to them and grabbed them. He was angry and scared. He said, "What did you do? You could have been hurt! You did not listen to me! You were very naughty!"
+
+Tom and Sue felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We did not mean to make the cliff split. We just wanted to see the rock fall. We will not do it again. Please do not be mad at us."
+
+Their dad hugged them and said, "I am glad you are safe, but you have to be careful. The cliff is dangerous. You have to obey me when I tell you something. I love you, but you have to learn from your mistake."
+
+Tom and Sue nodded and said, "We love you too, dad. We will listen to you next time. Can we still go on the hike?"
+
+Their dad smiled and said, "Yes, we can still go on the hike, but we have to stay away from the cliff. Come on, let's go and see what else we can find."
+Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They shared their blocks and had fun.
+
+But then, Tom saw a shiny piece of metal on the floor. It was round and had a hole in the middle. He picked it up and looked at it. He thought it was very pretty and wanted to keep it. He did not show it to Lily.
+
+He said to himself, "This is my piece. I will hide it in my pocket. Lily will not find it. It is mine, mine, mine."
+
+He put the piece in his pocket and went back to playing with the blocks. But he did not play as well as before. He kept looking at his pocket and worrying that Lily would see his piece. He did not talk to Lily or help her with her blocks. He was not nice to her.
+
+Lily noticed that Tom was acting strange. She asked him, "Tom, what is wrong? Why are you not playing with me? Why are you not happy?"
+
+Tom did not answer. He turned away from her and hugged his pocket. He did not want to share his piece with her. He thought she would take it away from him.
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not understand why Tom was being mean to her. She liked Tom and wanted to play with him. She did not care about his piece. She just wanted to be his friend.
+
+She said to him, "Tom, please, talk to me. I am your friend. I do not want your piece. I want to play with you. Please, do not hide from me."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He kept hiding his piece and his feelings. He did not realize that he was losing his friend. He did not realize that he was making himself and Lily sad. He did not realize that sharing his piece would make them both happy.
+Tom and Anna like to play near the pond. They see a big horse there. The horse is brown and has a long tail. The horse drinks water from the pond and makes a splash.
+
+"Look, a horse!" Tom says. "Can we pet it?"
+
+"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe it is dangerous."
+
+They go closer to the horse. The horse sees them and makes a loud noise. It kicks its legs and runs away. Tom and Anna are scared.
+
+"Run, run!" Anna says. "The horse is angry!"
+
+They run back to their mom. She hugs them and says, "What happened?"
+
+"We saw a horse, but it was dangerous," Tom says. "It splashed water and ran away."
+
+Mom says, "You should not go near strange animals. They might hurt you. Next time, stay away from the pond."
+
+Tom and Anna nod. They are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We will be careful next time."
+Lily was a bird who liked to fly. She liked to fly high in the sky and see the clouds and the sun. She liked to fly low over the trees and the flowers and the bugs. She liked to fly fast and slow and twist and turn.
+
+One day, she saw a vine that was very long and green. It hung from a big tree and swung in the wind. Lily thought it looked like fun. She flew to the vine and grabbed it with her feet. She let go of her wings and let the vine carry her. She felt the air on her face and the sun on her back. She laughed and said, "Whee! This is fun!"
+
+But then, she saw a fancy bird on another vine. The fancy bird had bright feathers and a shiny beak. He looked at Lily and said, "Hey, you! You are not fancy enough to play on the vine. Go away! This is my vine!"
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like the fancy bird. She said, "No, you go away! This is not your vine. This is a vine for everyone. You are not nice. You are mean!"
+
+The fancy bird did not like what Lily said. He said, "Oh, yeah? Well, I am faster and stronger than you. I will show you who is the boss of the vine. Come on, let's race!"
+
+Lily did not want to race, but she did not want to be scared. She said, "OK, let's race. But you have to be fair. No cheating!"
+
+The fancy bird agreed. He said, "Fine. We will race from this vine to that vine. The first one to get there wins. Ready, set, go!"
+
+They both let go of their vines and flew as fast as they could. Lily flew with all her might. She flew high and low and twist and turn. She tried to catch up with the fancy bird. But the fancy bird was faster and stronger. He flew ahead of Lily and reached the other vine first. He grabbed it with his feet and said, "Ha! I win! I am the boss of the vine. You lose! You are a loser!"
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She flew to the other vine and said, "No, you are not the boss of the vine. You are a cheater. You cheated!"
+
+The fancy bird said, "What? How did I cheat? I flew fair and square."
+
+Lily said, "No, you did not. You used your bright feathers and your shiny beak to blind me. You made the sun reflect on them and hurt my eyes. That is not fair. That is cheating!"
+
+The fancy bird said, "Oh, come on. That is not cheating. That is being smart. That is using what I have. You are just jealous of my fancy feathers and my shiny beak. You are just a plain bird. You have nothing."
