She was amazed by the pretty clothes that the berry bush was wearing! + +Lily: "Mom, look at the fashion I found!" + +Mom: "That's a berry bush, sweetie." + +Lily: "But look how pretty and colorful it is!" + +Mom: "Yes, that's because it's wearing its pretty berries. But remember, not all berries taste nice. This one is bitter." + +Lily: "Bitter? What does that mean?" + +Mom: "It means it will have a sour taste if you eat it." + +Lily: "Oh, okay. Maybe I won't move those berries too much!" + +And so, Lily left the berry bush alone and continued to explore her garden and all the other wonderful things in it. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who wanted to play in the big room. But the room was always kept quiet and her parents wouldn't permit her to go inside. The girl saw the ceiling was filled with sparkles, like tiny stars. She wanted to touch the sparkles, so she asked her parents if she could go in the room. + +But her parents said no. The girl begged and pleaded but still her parents wouldn't permit her to go in. The girl became sad. + +However, her parents had an idea. Every night, although the room was quiet, it was filled with a special kind of light. The girl was allowed to watch from the doorway. Every night the stars twinkled brighter and brighter. + +The girl began to hope that someday she would be allowed to play in the big room. She kept watching and waited patiently. + +Finally, one night her parents allowed her to go inside. She ran to the ceiling and touched the sparkles. It was the best day ever! The girl was happy and smiled. Finally, she was permitted to play in the big room. +Once upon a time, there was a restless girl. She was so restless that she couldn't sit still! Everywhere she went, she wanted to explore. One day, she was in the kitchen and noticed the sink. She decided to sit in it, but soon found out it was not the most comfortable place! Instead of giving up, she stayed restless. Suddenly, she heard a noise. It was the sound of her mom coming home from work. She quickly hopped out of the sink and ran to greet her mom. Even though the sink wasn't comfy, the girl was happy! She thought it was nice to sit in the sink and smile at her mom. +Once upon a time there was a elderly lady who loved mysteries. She loved reading them, listening to them and even solving them. One day she was trying to solve a mystery when her little grand daughter came to visit. The little girl had an idea that would solve the mystery. The elderly lady disagreed with the idea and shook her head no. + +The little girl was upset, so she decided to solve the mystery herself. She thought and thought until a idea came to her. She repeated her idea to the elderly lady and the lady agreed this time. + +The elderly lady was surprised and excited to see how the little girl could solve a mystery. They worked together and solved the mystery. They were both super happy! + +The end. +Sally was at home and she was very bored.

She opened the window and saw her friend Bobby standing outside in his orange parka. + +"Hi Sally!", said Bobby. + +"Hi Bobby!", said Sally. "What are you doing?" + +"I'm whistleing!", Bobby said excitedly. He was holding a tooth in his hand. + +Sally was curious. "What can you do with a tooth?", she asked. + +Bobby smiled. "I can make this whistle noise with it!", he said. "Watch!" + +He put the tooth in his mouth and blew. A loud whistle escaped from his lips. Sally was impressed! + +"That's so cool!", Sally said. + +Bobby beamed. "I learned it from my grandpa", he said. + +Sally smiled. She couldn't wait to show off her new skill to her other friends. + +The two of them spent the afternoon together, laughing and whistling. It made Sally so happy! +Pete and his mommy were walking to the park. Pete looked up at the sky. The clouds were grey and the wind was blowing. "Mommy, what's the weather going to be?" he asked. + +"I'm not sure, Pete," said his mommy. "We can guess it will be windy and cloudy, but it's hard to tell. Let's keep going and see if it changes." + +Pete and his mommy kept walking. Soon, they heard thunder. Pete got scared and ran to his mommy. She hugged him and said, "It's ok, Pete. It's just the weather. There's nothing to be fearful of." + +But Pete was still feeling a little scared. He wished the weather would go away. His mommy told him that guessing was a much better way to think about it. So he guessed that it was just a storm and it would go away soon. + +Luckily, his guess was right. After a few more minutes, the storm clouds went away and the blue sky came out. "See, Pete," said his mommy. "Everything worked out ok. You can stop being fearful now." + +Pete smiled and held his mommy's hand as they continued to walk to the park. He was so happy that he was right and that the fearful weather was gone. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Jane.

Jane turned to her pet and said, "What is it?" + +The dog seemed to be trying to tell her something. She looked around and saw a river. "Let's go play near the water," she said to her dog. + +They walked over to the river but the ground was too rough for Jane's small feet. She started to get scared but her dog stayed close and licked her face. Jane knew what her pet meant. She should not be scared and should stay brave. + +With that thought in mind Jane held her dog's paw and slowly walked towards the river. She no longer felt scared, just brave and curious. + +The moral of this story is: be brave and never be afraid to explore what's new. +Once upon a time there was a little girl. Her name was Daisy and she was three years old. One day Daisy was playing in her garden when a strange thing happened - a new shadow appeared in the garden! + +Daisy was very surprised and she wanted to know what it was. She went up to it and noticed that the shadow was different than any other shadow she had ever seen. + +"My shadow looks like a bear," said Daisy. + +Then she had a great idea. She decided to design a game based on this different shadow! She made up rules and played it all afternoon, until the strange shadow began to fade away. + +Daisy was a little sad. But she learned a valuable lesson - wonderful things can appear if you look in unexpected places! +"Mummy, what's that?" asked 3 year old Timmy, pointing at the fancy machine on the kitchen counter. + +"That is a mixer, Timmy. It is used to mix or blend things together," Mummy explained. + +Timmy was hesitant to accept this new machine and watched silently as Mummy started to use it. Timmy gasped as he saw her put all the ingredients together and turn it on. + +"Will it hurt Mummy?" he asked. + +Mummy smiled at the helpless expression on Timmy's face. "No, it won't hurt," she said, gently patting his head. + +Timmy smiled as he watched the machine doing its job and he was soon won over. After few minutes, Mummy took out the content from the mixer and put it on the plate. + +Timmy tried it and quickly licked his lips afterwards.

Can I join you?" + +The spider smiled and answered, "Yes, of course you can join me. I'm glad to see you!" + +Then the bunny hopped around the spider and asked, "What are you doing?" + +The spider said, "I'm making a web! Can you help me?" + +The bunny said, "Yes. I'd love to help." + +The two friends then joined together and made the prettiest web in the forest.

Everywhere it flew, it would hear the other animals say how wonderful it sounded. + +The bird loved singing and it felt strong flying around and scattering its song. Every day it grew more confident in its song and in its flying. + +One day it began to fly further and further away and it started to get lost. The bird called out its beautiful song, but this time it didn't receive any response. The bird flew around desperately but it could not find its way back to the forest. + +The bird learned an important lesson - never get too confident and scatter too far away. Always find strength in the familiarity of home. +Once upon a time, there was a naughty little boy named Mark. Mark loved the beach and he would often run around playing and catching jellyfish. One day, Mark and his mom went to the beach for a picnic. Mom warned Mark not to play with fire.

Please?†His mom just gave him a stern look and said, “No, Mark. Burning can be dangerous.†+ +But Mark wasn't listening and he went off to the beach, sticks in hand. He couldn't wait to build a fire and he started to gather twigs, leaves and even a few jellyfish to use as fuel. Soon, Mark had built a small fire. But he hadn't noticed the big wave that was coming towards him. + +The wave crashed over the fire and it quickly spread. Mark panicked and ran back to his mom. “Mom! Mom! The fire burned all my jellyfish!†+ +Mom calmly looked at Mark and said, “See, I told you that burning can be dangerous. You have to be careful, Mark.†+ +Mark learned his lesson and never played with fire again. +It was a mild day and Bob was happy. He was playing outside his house with his toys.

Bob was so excited and ran over to the player. He grabbed the controller and started pushing buttons. He had so much fun! + +After a few minutes, the rain had stopped. Bob's mom yelled for him to go back outside. He was a bit sad that he had to stop playing the video games but he was excited to go back outside and play with his toys. He went outside and the sun had come out. Everything was dry now and he could play with his toys in the mild sunshine. +The elderly man had a secret jar. He kept it hidden away in his bedroom. Every day, he would sneak away to get it then slip back with it to his room. + +The boy was curious about the jar, but he never asked the old man about it. He knew the man was worried when he went away so he didn't want to worry him any more than he already was. + +One day, the elderly man returned home with the jar. He was more worried than usual, but the boy was determined to find out what was inside. He followed the man to his room. The man opened the jar and the boy could see it was filled with coins and notes. He was excited! + +The old man smiled, handing the boy the jar. He told him that the worry he had been carrying had melted away, because now he knew the boy would be taken care of. He had been saving up for the boy's future and was glad this precious jar had come in useful. + +The boy hugged the old man tightly, grateful for the care and love he showed.

Suddenly a small mouse appeared who said: "Let me help you! I'm very fast and can finish the job for you." +The bear felt a bit reluctant, but he was too lazy to continue digging, so he said: "Ok, sure! I really need your help, please." + +The mouse was delighted to help, and he started digging very quickly. In no time, the ground was ready, and the bear put the special needle inside the hole and buried it. + +The bear said: "Thank you so much, my friend. I really needed your help!" And the mouse replied: "You're welcome, it was my pleasure!" + +The bear and the mouse were very happy and they hugged each other in the bright sunshine. From that day on, they were the best of friends. +Once upon a time, there was a honest little girl named Jo. Jo was a very hard working girl - she would always clean her room, and help her mom clean around the house. On special days like festivals, Jo would do even more cleaning to help out. + +Jo loved going to festivals with her mom and dad. She would always wear her favourite dress and try to look her best. Jo knew that her parents would be proud of her if she was honest and tried her best. + +Today was a festival day and Jo was very excited.

They smile and laugh. + +They see a button and a lever. They wonder what they do. They want to try them. They push the button and pull the lever. They hear a noise and feel a movement. They are surprised and scared. + +The car starts and moves. It goes fast and far. It leaves the park and the show. It goes to the road and the city. It goes to places they don't know. + +They scream and cry. They want to stop. They want to go back. They want their backpacks and their cars. They want their music and their fun. They want their part and their jazz. They want their home and their mom. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to sort their cars by color or by size. They make piles of red cars, blue cars, yellow cars, and so on. They also make piles of big cars, small cars, medium cars, and so on. + +One day, they decide to play with their cars in the bathroom. They fill the tub with water and pretend it is a lake. They make their cars swim and splash in the water. They have fun making noises and stories with their cars. + +But then, Sara has an idea. She says, "Let's sort our cars by how fast they can go down the drain!" She picks up a small yellow car and puts it near the drain. She says, "Ready, set, go!" and lets go of the car. The car zooms down the drain and disappears. + +Ben is shocked. He says, "Sara, what are you doing? That was your car! You can't get it back!" He looks at the drain and sees no sign of the car. + +Sara shrugs. She says, "It's okay. I have more cars. Let's see how fast this one can go!" She picks up a big red car and puts it near the drain. + +Ben is angry. He says, "No, Sara, stop! You can't sort our cars by the drain! That's not sorting, that's losing! You are losing our cars!" He tries to grab the big red car from Sara, but she is faster. She lets go of the car and it also zooms down the drain. + +Ben is frustrated. He says, "Sara, you are being mean! You are ruining our game! You are making me sad!" He starts to cry. + +Sara is confused. She says, "But Ben, I thought it was fun. I thought you liked to sort our cars. I didn't mean to make you sad." + +Ben says, "Sara, sorting our cars is fun, but not by the drain. The drain is not a pile, it is a hole. A hole that takes our cars away. We can't play with our cars if they go down the drain. We can only play with our cars if they stay with us." + +Sara says, "Oh, Ben, I'm sorry. I didn't know that. I didn't think about that. I was just being silly. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben says, "Yes, Sara, I can forgive you. But please, don't sort our cars by the drain anymore. Let's sort them by color or by size, or by something else. But not by the drain." + +Sara says, "Okay, Ben, I promise. Let's sort them by something else. But how can we get our cars back? The ones that went down the drain?" + +Ben says, "I don't know, Sara. Maybe we can ask Mom or Dad. Maybe they can help us. Maybe they can get our cars back." + +Sara says, "Yes, Ben, let's do that. Let's ask Mom or Dad. Maybe they can help us. Maybe they can get our cars back." +Ben and Mia like to play with puzzles. They have many puzzles with animals, cars, and flowers. But they only have one puzzle with a big red ball. They both want to play with the ball puzzle. + +"Give me the ball puzzle!" Ben says. He tries to grab the puzzle from Mia. + +"No, it is mine!" Mia says. She holds the puzzle tight. + +They pull and push the puzzle. The puzzle breaks into pieces. The pieces fall on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Mia say. They are sad and angry. + +They see the big red ball piece. It is round and shiny. They both want it. + +"Give me the ball piece!" Ben says. He tries to grab the piece from Mia. + +"No, it is mine!" Mia says. She tries to keep the piece. + +They pull and push the piece. The piece rolls away from them. It rolls under the sofa. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Mia say. They are more sad and more angry. + +They try to reach the piece under the sofa. They cannot get it. It is too far. + +They look at each other. They are quiet. + +They look at the other pieces on the floor. They are not round and shiny. They are cheap and boring. + +They look at the sofa. It is big and soft. It has pillows and blankets. + +They have an idea. + +"Let's make a fort!" Ben says. + +"OK!" Mia says. + +They forget the ball piece. They use the sofa, the pillows, and the blankets to make a fort. They go inside the fort. They have fun. + +They are happy and friendly. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a fancy doll with a pink dress and a hat. Ben had a car that could make noises and move. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what the other had. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Ben asked Lily. + +"No, it's mine. You can't touch it," Lily said. + +"Please, just for a little bit. I want to see how it looks," Ben said. + +"No, no, no. Go away," Lily said. + +Ben was sad and angry. He wanted to play with the doll, but Lily was mean. He had an idea. He waited until Lily was not looking, and then he grabbed the doll and ran away. + +"Hey, give it back!" Lily shouted. She chased Ben around the room. + +Ben was faster than Lily. He thought he could succeed in keeping the doll. He ran to the couch and hid behind it. He smiled and looked at the doll. It was very pretty. + +But then he heard a loud voice. + +"What are you doing?" It was Mom. She had seen everything. + +Ben was scared. He knew he had done something bad. He gave the doll back to Lily and said sorry. + +Mom was not happy. She said they had to learn to share and be nice. She said they had to sit on the couch and listen to a story. A story about history. A story about people who did good things and bad things. + +Lily and Ben did not like history. They thought it was boring. They wished they had played together instead of fighting. They learned their lesson. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the pool. They had a game where they pretended to be horses and dived into the water. Tom was good at diving and could go very deep. Lily was not so good and could only go a little bit. + +One day, they saw a new toy in the pool. It was a big horse with a long mane and a tail. It looked very fun and pretty. Tom and Lily both wanted to play with it. + +"Let me have it first!" Tom said. He dived and grabbed the horse. He pulled it up and rode on it. He did not share with Lily. + +"Please, can I have a turn?" Lily asked. She felt sad and left out. + +"No, it is mine!" Tom said. He did not want to share. He held the horse tight and splashed Lily with water. + +Lily cried and got out of the pool. She went to sit on a bench. She wished Tom was more generous and kind. + +A lady saw Lily crying and came to talk to her. She asked her what was wrong. Lily told her about Tom and the horse. + +"That is not nice of Tom," the lady said. "He should share with you. Sharing is caring. Do you want to play with my toy?" + +The lady had a small horse with a bell and a ribbon. It was not as big or as pretty as Tom's horse, but it was still nice. Lily smiled and said yes. She thanked the lady for being generous and kind. + +They played together and had fun. They made the horse ring the bell and swing the ribbon. They laughed and hugged. + +Tom saw them and felt lonely. He realized he was wrong to be selfish and mean. He wanted to play with Lily and the lady too. He got off his horse and swam to them. + +"I am sorry, Lily," he said. "I was not a good friend. Can I share with you?" + +Lily looked at him and saw he was sorry. She forgave him and said yes. She gave him the small horse and took the big horse. They traded and played together. The lady smiled and joined them. + +They all had fun and learned a lesson. Sharing is caring. Being generous and kind makes everyone happy. +Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and bridges. Sometimes they include their toys in their blocks. They make a garage for their cars and a bed for their dolls. + +One day, they find a new toy in their room. It is a shiny ball that makes sounds and lights. It has a button that says "press". Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see what the ball can do. + +They press the button and the ball starts to sparkle. It makes a loud beep and flashes red and blue and green. Lily and Ben are amazed. They clap and laugh and say "wow". They want to play with the ball more. + +They try to include the ball in their blocks. They put it on top of a tower and press the button. The ball falls down and breaks the tower. They put it in a house and press the button. The ball makes a hole in the roof. They put it on a bridge and press the button. The ball rolls off and hits the wall. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They like the ball, but it does not work with their blocks. They wonder what to do with it. They look at each other and have an idea. + +They take the ball to the garden. They find a big space with no plants or rocks. They put the ball on the ground and press the button. The ball sparkles and beeps and flashes. Lily and Ben run around the ball and chase the lights. They have fun with the ball in the garden. + +They are happy. They learn that the ball is a different kind of toy. It does not need blocks to play with. It needs space and movement and sound. They are patient and try new things with the ball. They enjoy the ball and their blocks. They have many ways to play. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a watch. The watch tells them when to go home. + +One day, they see a big slide. They want to try it. They run to the slide and take turns. It is fun. + +But then, the watch beeps. It is time to go home. Lily says, "We have to leave. Mommy and Daddy are waiting." + +Ben says, "No, I want to play more. The slide is fun. You can leave. I will stay." + +Lily says, "No, Ben. You have to leave too. It is cold. The sun is going down. You will be lost. And Mommy and Daddy will be sad." + +Ben says, "I don't care. I want to play more. You are not my friend. Go away." + +Lily feels sad. She does not want to leave Ben. But she knows she has to. She says, "Bye, Ben. I hope you will be safe. I hope you will be my friend again." + +She runs to her Mommy and Daddy. They hug her and take her home. She tells them what happened. They say, "You did the right thing, Lily. Ben was not nice. Maybe he will be sorry. Maybe he will be your friend again. But you have to listen to the watch. The watch helps you." + +Lily nods. She hopes Ben will be okay. She hopes he will be her friend again. She looks at the watch. She says, "Thank you, watch. You are my friend too." +Ben and Sam were brothers who lived on a farm with their mom and dad. They had many animals, but their favorite was Daisy, the cow. Daisy gave them milk every day, and they liked to pet her and feed her grass. Daisy was very happy with Ben and Sam, and she mooed softly when they came to see her. + +One day, a man came to the farm. He wore a shiny suit and a big hat, and he had a lot of money. He said he wanted to buy Daisy, because she was a very good cow. He offered mom and dad a lot of money, more than they had ever seen. Mom and dad thought about it, and they said yes. They needed the money to fix the house and buy new clothes and toys for Ben and Sam. + +Ben and Sam were very sad when they heard the news. They did not want to lose Daisy. They ran to the barn and hugged Daisy, and told her they loved her. Daisy mooed sadly, and licked their faces. The man came to the barn and said it was time to go. He put a rope around Daisy's neck and led her to his truck. Ben and Sam cried and begged mom and dad to change their minds, but it was too late. The man drove away with Daisy, and Ben and Sam watched her disappear. + +That night, Ben and Sam could not sleep. They missed Daisy so much. They wished they could see her again, and give her some grass and milk. They wondered if she was happy with the man, or if she missed them too. They felt angry and sad, and they did not care about the money or the new things. + +The next morning, they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw Daisy. She had escaped from the man's truck and ran back to the farm. She was dirty and tired, but she was happy to see Ben and Sam. They ran outside and hugged her, and she mooed happily. Mom and dad came out too, and they were surprised and glad. They realized they had made a mistake, and they decided to keep Daisy. They called the man and told him they changed their minds. The man was angry, but he could not do anything. He took his money and left. + +Ben and Sam learned that money is not everything, and that some things are more important than money. They learned to be grateful for what they had, and to cherish their friends. Daisy learned that she had a home and a family that loved her, and that she did not need to be with a rich man. They all lived happily ever after on the farm. +Lily was a girl who liked to play dress-up. She had a big box of clothes and hats and shoes that she could wear. She liked to pretend she was a princess or a fairy or a bride. One day, she found a long white veil in the box. She put it on her head and smiled. She felt very pretty. + +She wanted to show her mom how she looked. She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was making a cake. She did not see the dog sleeping on the floor. She tripped over the dog and fell down. The veil got caught on the oven door and ripped. The dog woke up and barked. Lily cried. + +Her mom heard the noise and came to help. She saw Lily on the floor, the veil torn, and the dog scared. She was angry and sad. She yelled at Lily for being careless and ruining the veil. She said the veil was very old and special. It was her mom's veil when she got married. She said Lily could not play dress-up anymore. She took the veil and the box away. + +Lily felt very sorry and bad. She wanted to say sorry to her mom and the dog. She wanted to hug them and make them happy. But her mom was too mad and did not listen. She told Lily to go to her room and stay there. Lily did what her mom said. She went to her room and knelt by her bed. She prayed for her mom and the dog to forgive her. She wished she could have the veil and the box back. She wished she could play dress-up again. She wished she could be happy. But she was not. She was very sad. The end. +Sara liked to draw. She had many colors and papers. She drew her family, her friends, her pets, and her toys. She was happy when she drew. + +One day, she wanted to show her drawings to her teacher. She put them in a big folder and took them to school. She waited for her turn to share. She was excited. + +When it was her turn, she opened her folder and took out a drawing. She wanted to show her teacher a picture of her mom. But she saw something else. She saw an image of a monster. It was big and scary and ugly. It had horns and teeth and claws. It was not her mom. + +Sara was confused. She looked at her folder. She saw more images of monsters. They were all over her papers. She did not draw them. Someone else did. Someone was mean to her. They changed her drawings. + +Sara felt sad and angry and embarrassed. She did not want to show the monsters. She wanted to show her mom. She started to cry. She said, "Who did this? Who ruined my drawings?" + +The teacher heard her. She came to her and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Sara. This should not happen. Someone was very naughty. They did a bad thing. We will find out who did it and make them say sorry. And we will get you new papers and colors. You can draw again. You are a good artist. Don't be embarrassed. Be proud of your drawings." + +Sara felt a little better. She hugged her teacher back. She said, "Thank you, teacher. You are nice. I like to draw. I will draw again. But not monsters. I don't like monsters." +On Wednesday, Ben and Lily wanted to play outside. But it was raining and cold. They felt grumpy and bored. + +"Can we watch TV?" Ben asked Mom. + +"No, TV is not good for you. You need to do something else," Mom said. + +"Can we play with your phone?" Lily asked Mom. + +"No, phone is not good for you either. You need to use your imagination," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily did not like Mom's answers. They did not want to use their imagination. They wanted to have fun. + +They went to their room and found some toys. But they did not want to share. They started to fight over the toys. + +"Give me that car!" Ben shouted. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily shouted back. + +They pulled and pushed and made a lot of noise. Mom heard them and came to their room. + +"Stop fighting right now!" Mom said. "You are making a mess and hurting each other. You need to be nice and quiet." + +She took away the toys and put them in a box. She shut the box and put it on a high shelf. + +"You can't have these toys until you learn to play nicely," Mom said. "Now, say sorry to each other and hug." + +Ben and Lily did not want to say sorry or hug. They felt angry and sad. They crossed their arms and turned away from each other. + +Mom sighed and left the room. She hoped they would calm down soon. + +Ben and Lily sat on their beds and looked at the wall. They missed their toys and their fun. They realized they were being silly and mean. They felt sorry and lonely. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They got up and walked to each other. They said sorry and hugged. + +They felt better and happier. They decided to play something else. They used their imagination and made up a story. They pretended they were pirates and had a big adventure. + +They had fun and laughed. They forgot about the rain and the cold. They forgot about the box and the shelf. They remembered they were friends and siblings. + +They did not feel grumpy and bored anymore. They felt happy and loved. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill near their house. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find some flowers or bugs or birds." + +"OK, Lily!" Ben said. "But be careful. The hill is very high and steep." + +They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the hill. They started to climb, holding hands and helping each other. They saw some rocks and grass and dirt on the way. They also heard some noises, like wind and birds and squirrels. + +They were almost at the top when they heard a loud roar. It sounded like a big animal that was angry and hungry. They stopped and looked around, scared. + +"What was that, Ben?" Lily asked, shaking. + +"I don't know, Lily," Ben said, holding her tight. "Maybe it was a bear or a lion or a monster." + +They wanted to run away, but they did not know where to go. They did not see the animal, but they heard it again, closer and louder. + +"Help, help!" they cried. "Someone, please help us!" + +Then they saw a man coming up the hill. He had a big hat and a big stick and a big smile. He waved at them and said, "Hello, kids! Don't be scared. It's me, Mr. Brown, your neighbor. I'm sorry if I scared you. I was just playing with my dog, Rex. He likes to bark and pretend he's a lion. He's very friendly and good. Do you want to meet him?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other and nodded. They were not scared anymore. They were happy and curious. They followed Mr. Brown to the other side of the hill, where they saw a big, fluffy, brown dog. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was not a monster. He was a friend. + +"Hi, Rex!" Ben and Lily said. "You are a good dog. We like you." + +They played with Rex and Mr. Brown for a while. They also saw some flowers and bugs and birds. They had fun on the hill. They thanked Mr. Brown and Rex for being nice and helping them. They said goodbye and went back to their house, holding hands and smiling. + +They told their mom and dad about their adventure. They said they were scared at first, but then they met a good man and a good dog. They said they learned something new and had fun. They said they wanted to go back to the hill someday. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were proud of them. They said they were brave and smart and kind. They said they loved them very much. They said they were good twins. +Sara was very happy. It was her birthday today. She had a new dress, a new toy and a big cake. She wanted to share her cake with her friends. She invited them to her house. + +"Look at my cake!" Sara said. "It has candles on it. Do you know what to do with candles?" + +Her friends nodded. They knew. They had to blow them out and make a wish. + +"Can I go first?" asked Ben. He was Sara's best friend. + +"Okay," said Sara. She was very kind. She let Ben blow out one candle. + +Ben closed his eyes. He imagined something. He wanted a new bike. He blew out the candle. + +"Did you make a wish?" asked Sara. + +"Yes," said Ben. "But I can't tell you. It is a secret." + +Sara smiled. She understood. She let her other friends blow out the candles too. They all imagined something. They all made a wish. + +Then it was Sara's turn. She had one candle left. She closed her eyes. She imagined something. She wanted to be happy. She blew out the candle. + +"Did you make a wish?" asked Ben. + +"Yes," said Sara. "But I can't tell you. It is a secret." + +Ben smiled. He understood. He hugged Sara. He said, "You are a good friend. You are very generous. You made us all happy. I think your wish will come true." + +Sara hugged Ben back. She said, "Thank you. You are a good friend too. You made me happy. I think your wish will come true too." + +They all ate the cake. They all played with the new toy. They all had fun. They all learned something. They learned that sharing is caring. They learned that happiness is not a thing. It is a feeling. They learned that imagining is fun. It is a way to dream. +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. Sometimes they found other things, like stones, leaves, or seeds. + +One day, Tom found a mushroom. It was white and round, with a brown stem. He showed it to Mia and said, "Look, I found a mushroom! Can I eat it?" + +Mia shook her head. She remembered what her mom had told her. "No, Tom, you can't eat it. Some mushrooms are bad for you. They can make you sick or hurt you. You have to ask mom or dad before you eat anything from the garden." + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to eat the mushroom. He thought it looked tasty and fun. He said, "No, Mia, I want to eat it. It is good for me. I am hungry and I like mushrooms." + +He tried to put the mushroom in his mouth, but Mia stopped him. She grabbed his hand and pulled it away. She said, "No, Tom, stop! You have to listen to me. I am your big sister and I know what is best for you. I am dependable. That means I always help you and keep you safe. You have to trust me." + +Tom looked at Mia. He saw that she was serious and worried. He also saw that she was kind and caring. He realized that she was right. He did not know if the mushroom was good or bad. He did not want to get sick or hurt. He wanted to be happy and healthy. He said, "Okay, Mia, I am sorry. I will not eat the mushroom. You are dependable. You are a good sister. Thank you for helping me." + +Mia smiled and hugged Tom. She said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good brother. I love you. Come on, let's go and find something else to play with." + +They threw the mushroom away and went back to digging in the dirt. They had fun and they were safe. They were happy. +Ben was a little boy who liked to zoom. He zoomed with his toy cars, he zoomed with his bike, he zoomed with his feet. He zoomed everywhere he went. + +One day, he had to go to school. He was not happy. He did not want to zoom to school. He wanted to zoom at home. He told his mom, "I do not want to go to school. School is boring. I want to zoom." + +His mom said, "You have to go to school, Ben. School is fun. You can learn new things, make new friends, and play with toys. You can also zoom at school, but not too fast. You have to be careful and listen to your teacher." + +Ben did not believe his mom. He thought school was not fun. He thought school was hard and scary. He did not want to learn new things, make new friends, or play with toys. He only wanted to zoom. + +But he had to go to school. His mom took him to the bus. He did not want to get on the bus. He said, "No, no, no. I do not want to go on the bus. The bus is big and loud. I want to zoom with my bike." + +His mom said, "You cannot zoom with your bike to school, Ben. The school is too far. You have to go on the bus. The bus is safe and fast. You can zoom with your bike after school." + +Ben did not like the bus. He thought the bus was not safe and fast. He thought the bus was slow and bumpy. He did not want to zoom with the bus. + +But he had to go on the bus. His mom gave him a hug and a kiss. She said, "Have a good day at school, Ben. I love you. You will have fun. You will see." + +Ben got on the bus. He did not say bye to his mom. He did not smile. He did not look happy. He sat on a seat and looked out the window. He saw his mom wave to him. He saw his bike in the yard. He saw the bus zoom away. He felt sad. He did not want to zoom to school. He wanted to zoom at home. +One day, a little squirrel named Sam was looking for acorns in the forest. He saw a big tree with many acorns on the branches. He climbed up the tree and picked some acorns. He was very happy. + +But then, he heard a loud roar. He looked down and saw a big bear. The bear was hungry and wanted to eat the acorns. The bear saw Sam and growled. He shook the tree and tried to catch Sam. + +Sam was very scared. He held on to the acorns and the branch. He shouted, "Help! Help! A bear is trying to eat me!" + +Another squirrel named Lily heard Sam's shout. She was Sam's friend and she was alert. She ran to the tree and saw the bear. She had an idea. She found a pine cone and threw it at the bear's nose. + +The bear felt a sting and sneezed. He let go of the tree and rubbed his nose. He was angry and looked for the pine cone. He did not see Lily. + +Lily called to Sam, "Sam, come down quickly! The bear is busy. I will help you!" + +Sam was glad to hear Lily's voice. He dropped the acorns and jumped down from the tree. He ran to Lily and thanked her. + +But as they were running away, a big hawk appeared in the sky. The hawk was hungry and wanted to eat the squirrels. The hawk saw Sam and Lily and swooped down. + +Sam and Lily did not see the hawk. They were too busy running. The hawk caught them in his claws and flew away. + +The bear saw the hawk and the squirrels. He was sad and angry. He had lost his acorns and his lunch. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They saw a big onion on the counter. Tom wanted to cut it with a knife, but Lily said no. + +"That is not for us. That is for Mom. She will be angry if you touch it," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He was careless. He took the knife and tried to cut the onion. But the knife was sharp and the onion was slippery. Tom cut his finger and cried. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow! It hurts!" Tom said. + +Lily ran to him and saw the blood. She was scared. She grabbed a napkin and wrapped it around Tom's finger. She tried to stop the blood. + +"Shh, shh, shh. It's okay. I will help you," Lily said. + +But the napkin was not enough. The blood spread on the napkin and on the counter. It made a big mess. The onion was also on the floor, cut in half. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Tom and Lily and the blood and the onion. She was shocked. + +"What happened here? Are you okay?" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily looked at Mom. They felt sorry. They knew they did something bad. + +"We were playing. I wanted to cut the onion. I was careless. I hurt my finger. Lily helped me. We are sorry," Tom said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are okay. But you should never play with knives. They are dangerous. And you should not touch the onion. It is for dinner. Now we have to clean this up and go to the doctor." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you." +Lila and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to pretend they were brave hunters. They had sticks for arrows and bows made of string. They looked for animals to shoot with their arrows. + +"Look, Ben, a rabbit!" Lila shouted. She pointed to a brown furry thing that was hopping on the grass. She pulled her bow and aimed her arrow. + +"Wait, Lila, don't shoot!" Ben shouted back. He saw something else behind the rabbit. It was a big black bear. It had sharp teeth and claws. It looked angry and hungry. + +Lila did not hear Ben. She let go of her arrow. It flew in the air and hit the bear in the nose. The bear roared and ran towards them. + +"Run, Lila, run!" Ben shouted again. He grabbed Lila's hand and they ran away. They ran as fast as they could. They found a hole in the ground. It was deep and dark. They jumped in the hole and hid. + +The bear came to the hole. It sniffed and growled. It tried to reach them with its paw. But the hole was too deep and narrow. The bear could not get them. It gave up and went away. + +Lila and Ben were safe. They hugged each other and breathed hard. They were scared but also happy. They had escaped the bear. + +"Wow, Lila, that was close!" Ben said. + +"Yeah, Ben, that was scary!" Lila said. + +"Next time, let's be more careful with our arrows," Ben said. + +"OK, Ben, let's do that," Lila said. + +They smiled and climbed out of the hole. They went back to their home. They told their mom and dad what happened. They were proud of their adventure. But they also learned a lesson. They never shot their arrows at bears again. +Lily liked to play with her dad's phone. She liked to record her voice and listen to it. She liked to make funny sounds and laugh. She liked to record her smile and see it on the screen. + +One day, she found her dad's phone on the table. She picked it up and pressed the record button. She said, "Hello, I am Lily. I am three years old. I like to play with my dad's phone." She smiled and showed her teeth. She pressed the stop button and played the video. She giggled and clapped her hands. + +She wanted to record more. She looked around and saw her dad's hat. It was big and hairy. It looked like a bear. She put it on her head and said, "I am a bear. I am big and hairy. I like to eat honey and fish." She growled and made claws with her fingers. She pressed the stop button and played the video. She roared and jumped up and down. + +She wanted to record more. She looked around and saw her dad's guitar. It was shiny and had strings. It made music. She grabbed it and said, "I am a rock star. I am cool and loud. I like to play the guitar and sing." She strummed the strings and sang a song. She pressed the stop button and played the video. She cheered and danced. + +She wanted to record more. She looked around and saw her dad's car keys. They were shiny and had buttons. They made the car beep. She ran to the door and said, "I am a driver. I am fast and smart. I like to drive the car and go places." She pressed the button and heard the car beep. She opened the door and ran outside. She pressed the record button and said, "Bye bye, I am going to the park." She smiled and waved. + +She did not see the big truck coming. She did not hear the horn. She did not feel the pain. She only saw a flash of light. She only heard a crash. She only felt a cold. + +The phone fell to the ground. It was broken and bloody. It still had the video of her smile. It was the last thing she ever recorded. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. Anna has many red blocks and Ben has many blue blocks. They put their blocks together and make a tall tower. + +"Look at our tower!" Anna says. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "But I want to make it bigger. Give me some of your red blocks, please." + +Anna shakes her head. "No, Ben. These are my red blocks. You have your blue blocks. That is fair." + +Ben frowns. He wants some red blocks too. He thinks that is fair. He tries to grab some of Anna's blocks. Anna pulls them back. The tower wobbles and falls down. The blocks scatter on the floor. + +"Ben, you made our tower fall!" Anna cries. "That is not fair!" + +"Sorry, Anna," Ben says. "But I wanted some red blocks too. That is fair." + +They look at each other. They are both sad and angry. They do not want to play with each other anymore. + +Then they hear a voice. It is their mom. She comes into the room and sees the mess. + +"What happened here?" she asks. "Why are you not playing nicely?" + +Anna and Ben reply at the same time. + +"He/she wanted my blocks!" + +"He/she did not share!" + +Mom sighs. She sits down with them and picks up some blocks. + +"Anna, Ben, listen to me," she says. "You are both good children. You can play with blocks together. But you have to share and take turns. That is fair. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They say sorry to each other. They hug and smile. + +"Can we make another tower, mom?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, you can," mom says. "But this time, use both red and blue blocks. That will make a more colorful and strong tower. And it will be fair for both of you." + +Anna and Ben agree. They take some red and blue blocks and start to build another tower. They share and take turns. They have fun. They are happy. +Anna liked to play in the attic. It was quiet and full of old things. She could pretend to be a princess or a pirate or a fairy. She had a box of clothes and toys that her grandma gave her. She liked to dress up and make stories. + +One day, she heard a noise in the attic. It was not a quiet noise. It was a loud and scary noise. It sounded like a growl or a roar. Anna was afraid. She hid behind a big chair and held her doll. She hoped the noise would go away. + +She peeked from behind the chair and saw a big shadow. It was a bear! A big, brown, furry bear! It was looking for food in the attic. It saw Anna and her doll. It walked towards her. Anna was very afraid. She wanted to scream, but she was too scared. + +The bear came closer and closer. It sniffed Anna and her doll. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth. Anna frowned. She did not like the bear. She did not want to share her doll. She said, "No! Go away! This is my doll! This is my attic!" + +The bear was surprised. It did not expect Anna to talk. It did not understand what she said. It thought she was funny. It laughed. It was not a scary laugh. It was a friendly laugh. It liked Anna and her doll. It said, "Sorry! I was hungry. I did not mean to scare you. You are brave and cute. Can I play with you?" + +Anna was surprised too. She did not expect the bear to laugh. She did not understand what it said. She thought it was funny too. She smiled. She liked the bear. She said, "Okay! You can play with me. But you have to be quiet. This is a quiet attic." +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She was very enthusiastic and wanted to do everything by herself. One day, mom asked her to bring a jug of water from the sink to the table. Anna was happy and ran to the sink. She grabbed the jug with both hands and lifted it up. But the jug was too heavy and slippery for her. She lost her balance and the jug fell on the floor. The water splashed everywhere and the jug broke into pieces. + +Anna was scared and sad. She started to cry. She thought mom would be angry with her. She also hurt her foot on a piece of the jug. She suffered a lot of pain. She wanted mom to hug her and make her feel better. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and Anna crying. She was not angry at all. She was worried about Anna. She ran to her and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Anna. It was an accident. You don't have to cry. I'm not mad at you. I love you." She checked Anna's foot and saw a small cut. She cleaned it and put a band-aid on it. She said, "There, now you're fine. You're a brave girl. You don't have to suffer anymore." + +Anna felt better. She stopped crying and smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. I'm sorry for the jug and the water." Mom said, "Don't worry about it. We can clean it up together. And we can get a new jug later. The important thing is that you're safe and happy." She kissed Anna and they cleaned the kitchen. Anna learned to be more careful with heavy things. She also learned that mom was always there for her. She was very grateful and happy. +Ben and Lily were friends. They liked to play together. One day, they had a party at Lily's house. There were balloons, cake, and games. Ben and Lily were happy. + +But then, Ben saw a big sack in the corner. He wanted to see what was inside. He opened the sack and found many toys. He took out a car, a doll, and a ball. He said, "These are mine now!" + +Lily saw Ben with the toys. She was angry. She said, "No, Ben! Those are not yours! Those are for sharing with everyone! Give them back!" + +Ben did not want to give them back. He said, "No, Lily! I like them! They are mine!" + +Lily and Ben started to fight. They pulled and pushed each other. They made a lot of noise. They made the other kids sad. + +Lily's mom heard the noise. She came to the room. She saw Ben and Lily fighting. She was angry too. She said, "Stop it, Ben and Lily! You are not being nice! You are ruining the party! You have to share the toys or go home!" + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They did not want to go home. They wanted to stay at the party. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben." + +They gave back the toys. They hugged and said, "We are friends again." + +They joined the other kids. They played with the toys together. They had fun. They were happy. +Lily loved to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She liked to make pictures of flowers, animals and people. She painted every day on big papers. + +One day, she wanted to make a gift for her mom. She painted a picture of her mom and her. They were smiling and holding hands. Lily used red, yellow and blue colors. She was very happy with her picture. + +She showed her picture to her dad. He said, "Wow, Lily, this is a beautiful picture! You are a great painter. Do you want to put it in a frame?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, please. I want to give it to mom. She will love it." + +Dad helped Lily to find a frame. It was brown and shiny. He put Lily's picture in the frame. He said, "Now it looks even more beautiful. Let's go and surprise mom." + +They went to the kitchen, where mom was cooking. She was making a spicy soup. Lily could smell the pepper and the garlic. She said, "Mom, I have a gift for you. Look!" + +She gave mom the framed picture. Mom was very surprised and happy. She said, "Oh, Lily, this is the most wonderful gift ever! Thank you so much. I love you and your picture. You are a very talented and sweet girl." + +She hugged Lily and dad. They hugged her back. They were a happy family. They ate the spicy soup and admired Lily's picture. Lily felt proud and loved. She said, "I love to paint. And I love you, mom and dad." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big frame in the park. It is made of wood and metal. It has swings and slides and bars. + +"Look, Anna, a new frame!" Ben says. "Let's go and play on it!" + +They run to the frame. Anna likes the swings. She sits on a swing and pushes with her legs. She goes high and low, high and low. She feels the wind in her hair. She is happy. + +Ben likes the bars. He holds on to a bar and lifts his legs. He is strong. He can hang upside down. He sees Anna on the swing. He waves to her. + +"Hi, Ben!" Anna says. She waves back. "You are strong! Can you do a flip?" + +Ben tries to do a flip. He swings his legs and lets go of the bar. He turns in the air. But he does not land on his feet. He lands on his back. He says "Ouch!" + +Anna stops the swing. She jumps off and runs to Ben. She is worried. She asks "Are you okay, Ben?" + +Ben rubs his back. He says "I'm okay, Anna. It was fun. But it hurt a little." + +Anna hugs Ben. She says "I'm glad you're okay, Ben. You are brave. But be careful next time." + +They smile at each other. They are still friends. They go and play on the slide. They have fun on the frame. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big maze in the park. It has many walls and paths. Lily and Ben want to try the maze. + +"Let's go in the maze!" Lily says. "It looks fun!" + +"OK, but we have to stay together," Ben says. "We don't want to get lost." + +They hold hands and walk into the maze. They turn left and right and left again. They see many flowers and trees and birds. They are happy. + +But then, they come to a dead end. There is no way out. They are stuck. + +"Oh no, what do we do?" Lily says. "I can't see the way back." + +"Don't worry, Lily," Ben says. "We can find the way. Look, there is a light over there. Maybe it is the exit." + +They walk towards the light. They hope it is the exit. They are scared. + +They come to the light. It is not the exit. It is a big sign. It says: "You did it! You finished the maze! Well done!" + +Lily and Ben are surprised. They are happy. They did it! + +They hear a voice. It is the park keeper. He says: "Hello, Lily and Ben. You are very brave and smart. You solved the maze. I have a prize for you. Come here and get it." + +Lily and Ben run to the park keeper. He gives them a big balloon each. They say: "Thank you, park keeper. The maze was fun. We had a great time." + +They hug the park keeper. They hug each other. They hold their balloons. They smile. They are proud. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a box of matches in the kitchen. They think matches are fun. + +"Look, Tom, matches can make fire!" Lily says. She takes a match and strikes it on the box. The match makes a bright flame. + +"Wow, that is cool!" Tom says. He wants to try too. He takes a match and strikes it on the box. The match makes a flame too. + +They laugh and clap. They strike more matches and make more flames. They do not see the smoke and smell the fire. + +Mom is in the living room. She hears the smoke alarm. She runs to the kitchen. She sees Tom and Lily playing with matches. She sees the fire on the tablecloth. She is very angry and scared. + +"Tom! Lily! What are you doing?" Mom shouts. She grabs the matches and throws them in the sink. She turns on the water and puts out the fire. She hugs Tom and Lily and makes sure they are not hurt. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not know matches are bad. We just wanted to have fun," Tom says. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not mean to make fire. We just liked the flames," Lily says. + +Mom sighs. She is glad they are safe. She is also sad they were not honest. + +"Tom, Lily, matches are not toys. Matches are dangerous. Matches can make fire. Fire can burn and hurt. You should never play with matches. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +"Yes, Mom, we understand. Matches are not toys. Matches are dangerous. We should never play with matches," Tom and Lily say. + +"Good. And you should also be honest. You should tell me when you find something you do not know. You should ask me before you touch something you are not sure. You should listen to me when I recommend something for you. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +"Yes, Mom, we understand. We should be honest. We should tell you when we find something. We should ask you before we touch something. We should listen to you when you recommend something," Tom and Lily say. + +"Good. I love you, Tom and Lily. I want you to be safe and happy. Now, let's go and find some safe and fun toys to play with. How about some blocks and puzzles?" Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom. We love you too. Thank you for saving us. Thank you for recommending some safe and fun toys. We want to play with blocks and puzzles," Tom and Lily say. + +They hug Mom and follow her to the living room. They forget about the matches and the fire. They play with blocks and puzzles. They are safe and happy. They are honest. +Lila and Sam were playing in the park.

Sam said, holding a ripe fruit in his hand. "Do you want some?" + +Lila nodded. She liked bananas too. She ran to Sam and took a bite. "Mmm, this is yummy!" she said. + +But then they heard a loud roar. A real leopard was hiding behind a bush. He was hungry and angry. He saw the two children and wanted to eat them. + +"Run, Lila, run!" Sam shouted. He dropped the banana and swung on a vine. He tried to get away from the leopard. + +Lila was scared. She ran as fast as she could. She looked for a place to hide. She saw a big green truck near the road. She ran to the truck and climbed inside. She hoped the leopard would not find her. + +The leopard chased after Lila. He saw the green truck and smelled the banana. He thought Lila was inside. He jumped on the truck and scratched the door. He tried to open it. + +But the truck was not empty. A man was sleeping in the driver's seat. He woke up and saw the leopard. He was surprised and angry. He honked the horn and shouted at the leopard. + +"Get off my truck, you beast!" he yelled. He grabbed a stick and hit the leopard. The leopard was hurt and scared. He ran away from the truck and the park. + +Lila heard the noise and peeked out of the window. She saw the man and the leopard. She was relieved and happy. She saw Sam too. He was safe on a tree. He waved at her. + +Lila waved back. She got out of the truck and ran to Sam. They hugged each other. They thanked the man for saving them. The man smiled and nodded.

But they always looked out for real leopards. +Tom likes to read books. He has many books in his room. He reads them every day. He likes to learn new things from the books. + +One day, Tom finds a new book in his room. It is a book about robots. Tom loves robots. He opens the book and sees many pictures of robots. He wants to read the book. + +But the book is not like his other books. The book has a button on the cover. Tom pushes the button. The book makes a sound. It says, "Hello, I am a robot book. I can read to you. Please put a battery in me." + +Tom is surprised. He has never seen a book like this. He looks for a battery. He remembers that his dad has some batteries in his drawer. He runs to his dad's room. He opens the drawer and takes a battery. + +But his dad sees him. He says, "Tom, what are you doing? That is my battery. You cannot take it. It is for my flashlight." + +Tom says, "But dad, I need it for my book. It is a robot book. It can read to me." + +His dad says, "No, Tom, you cannot have it. You have to read by yourself. You are a big boy. You are independent. You do not need a robot book. It is not good for you. It will make you lazy." + +Tom is sad. He does not understand. He likes the robot book. He thinks it is fun. He wants to hear it read to him. He does not want to be independent. He wants to be happy. + +He says, "But dad, please, can I have the battery? Just for a little while. I will give it back to you. Please, dad, please." + +His dad thinks for a moment. He sees that Tom is very sad. He loves Tom. He wants him to be happy too. He says, "Okay, Tom, you can have the battery. But only for a little while. And you have to promise me that you will also read by yourself. And you have to share the book with your sister. She likes robots too." + +Tom is happy. He says, "Thank you, dad, thank you. I promise, I will read by myself too. And I will share the book with my sister.

Tom counts to ten and then looks for Lily. + +"Where are you, Lily?" Tom calls. "I will find you!" + +Tom looks behind the swings, under the slide, and in the sandbox. He does not see Lily. He walks around the big tree. He sees a spot of red behind the tree. It is Lily's dress. + +"I see you, Lily!" Tom says. "You are behind the tree!" + +Lily comes out from behind the tree.

They like to play hide and seek. They are good friends. +Lily and Max were playing in the pool. They liked to dive and splash and swim. Lily was very good at diving. She could go deep and stay under for a long time. Max wanted to be like Lily. He tried to dive, but he was scared of the water in his nose and eyes. He came up quickly and coughed. + +"Max, you have to hold your breath and close your eyes when you dive," Lily said. "Then you can see the fish and the shells and the plants." + +"I don't like the water in my nose and eyes," Max said. "It hurts and makes me sneeze." + +Lily had an idea. She got out of the pool and ran to the kitchen. She came back with a bunch of celery. She gave one to Max. + +"What is this for?" Max asked. + +"It's for your nose and eyes," Lily said. "You can put it in your nose and it will keep the water out. And you can wear it like goggles and it will protect your eyes. Then you can dive like me." + +Max looked at the celery. He was not sure if Lily was telling the truth or playing a trick on him. He did not like celery. It was green and crunchy and bitter. He did not want to put it in his nose or on his eyes. + +"No, thank you," Max said. "I don't want celery. I don't want to dive. I want to play something else." + +Lily was sad. She wanted to share her fun with Max. She wanted him to see how beautiful and exciting the pool was. She wanted him to be strong and brave like her. + +"Please, Max, try it," Lily said. "It's not that bad. Celery is good for you. It makes you strong. And diving is fun. It makes you happy. Trust me, Max. I'm your friend." + +Max looked at Lily. He saw that she was sincere and kind. He did not want to make her sad. He wanted to be her friend. He wanted to be strong and happy too. He decided to give it a try. + +"Okay, Lily, I'll try it," Max said. "But only for a little bit. And you have to dive with me." + +Lily smiled. She gave Max a hug. She put a celery in her nose and on her eyes. She helped Max do the same. They held hands and jumped into the pool. They dove and splashed and swam. They saw the fish and the shells and the plants. They laughed and cheered and had fun. They forgot about the celery. They forgot about their fears. They only felt the joy of diving. +Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to make towers and houses and cars. Ben had a lot of blocks, but Lily had only a few. Lily wanted more blocks, so she asked Ben. + +"Can I have some of your blocks, please?" Lily said. + +"No, they are mine. Go away," Ben said. He was not nice. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to make Ben share. She had an idea. She saw a lemon on the table. She knew lemons were sour and made your face funny. She took the lemon and squeezed it on Ben's shoulder. + +"Ow! What are you doing?" Ben shouted. He felt a sting on his shoulder. He turned and saw Lily with the lemon. He saw her smile. + +"I am making you number. Now you have to give me some blocks," Lily said. She thought she was smart. + +But Ben did not think so. He was very mad. He threw his blocks at Lily. He hit her on the head and on the nose and on the arm. Lily cried out loud. She dropped the lemon and ran away. She had bumps and bruises and blood. She felt a lot of pain. + +Ben did not feel sorry. He kept his blocks. He did not care about Lily. He was very mean. + +The end. +Sara and Ben wanted to bake a cake for their mom. They asked their dad to help them. He said yes and gave them a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some butter. He told them to mix everything well. + +Sara and Ben took turns to stir the bowl with a big spoon. They had fun and made a lot of noise. They also made a mess on the table and the floor. Their dad smiled and said it was okay. He poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. He said they had to wait for a while. + +While they waited, Sara and Ben decided to make a card for their mom. They found some paper, some crayons, some stickers, and some glue. They drew a picture of their family and wrote "We love you, Mom" on the paper. They also glued some stickers to make it shiny and colorful. + +Their dad came back and said the cake was ready. He took it out of the oven and let it cool down. He asked Sara and Ben if they wanted to decorate it. They said yes and ran to the kitchen.

They also put some candles in the middle. + +They were very proud of their cake and their card. They carried them to the living room and hid them behind the couch. They waited for their mom to come home. When they heard the door open, they jumped out and shouted "Surprise!" + +Their mom was very surprised and happy. She hugged them and thanked them. She said they were very generous and sweet. She blew out the candles and cut the cake. They all ate a slice and shared their card.

The owl saw Lily and said, "Who are you?" + +Lily said, "I am Lily. Who are you?" + +The owl said, "I am Ollie. I am hungry. Do you have any food?" + +Lily said, "I have some bread and jam. Do you like bread and jam?" + +The owl said, "I don't know. I have never tried bread and jam. What is jam?" + +Lily said, "Jam is sweet and sticky. You spread it on the bread. It is yummy. Do you want to try some?" + +The owl said, "Yes, please. Can you bring some to me?" + +Lily said, "OK. Wait here. I will be right back." + +Lily ran to the kitchen and got some bread and jam. She put some jam on a slice of bread and wrapped it in a napkin. She ran back to the window and threw the bread and jam to the owl. + +The owl caught the bread and jam and took a bite. He liked it very much. He said, "Thank you, Lily. This is very good. You are very kind." + +Lily said, "You are welcome, Ollie. I am glad you like it. You are very brave." + +The owl said, "You are very brave, too. You are not afraid of me. Most people are afraid of owls. They think we are scary and mean." + +Lily said, "I am not afraid of you. You are not scary or mean. You are friendly and smart. You can talk and fly and see in the dark. That is amazing." + +The owl said, "Thank you, Lily. You are amazing, too. You can talk and make bread and jam and be nice to owls. That is rare." + +Lily and Ollie became friends. They talked and laughed and shared stories. They did not notice how late it was. The sun was rising and the sky was getting bright. + +The owl said, "I have to go now, Lily. It is morning and I have to sleep. Will you come back tonight?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I will come back tonight, Ollie. I want to see you again. Will you wait for me?" + +The owl said, "Yes, I will wait for you, Lily. You are my best friend. Goodbye for now." + +Lily said, "Goodbye for now, Ollie. You are my best friend, too." + +The owl flew away and Lily closed the window. She went back to her bed and fell asleep. She dreamed of owls and bread and jam and friendship. She was happy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the snow. They have many mittens of different colors and sizes. But sometimes they lose their mittens or mix them up. + +One day, their mom says, "Sara and Ben, it is time to sort your mittens. You have too many and some are not yours. You can keep your original mittens and give the others to your friends." + +Sara and Ben go to their room and find a big pile of mittens on their bed. They start to sort them by color and size. Sara says, "This is my pink mitten. It is small and has a flower on it. It is my original mitten. I like it very much." + +Ben says, "This is my blue mitten. It is big and has a star on it. It is my original mitten. I like it very much." + +They put their original mittens in a basket and the other mittens in a bag. They find some mittens that are too small or too big for them. They also find some mittens that are not pink or blue. They wonder who they belong to. + +They finish sorting their mittens and show them to their mom. She says, "Good job, Sara and Ben. You sorted your mittens very well. Now you can keep your original mittens and share the others with your friends. They will be happy to have warm mittens for the winter." + +Sara and Ben smile and hug their mom. They are happy to have their original mittens and to be kind to their friends.

They thought it was a surprise for them from their mom. + +"Wow, look at all the eggs!" Tom said. "They are so pretty and shiny. Let's hop over and see what's inside." + +"OK, but be careful. Mom said we should not go near the fence. There might be dogs or traps there," Lily said. + +Tom and Lily hopped over to the basket. They were very curious and excited. They started to open the eggs and see what was inside. Some had candy, some had toys, some had stickers. They ate and played and made a big mess. + +But they did not notice that the basket was not from their mom. It was from a farmer who wanted to catch them. He had set a trap under the basket. When Tom and Lily hopped too much, they triggered the trap. A big net fell over them and trapped them. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Lily cried. "We are stuck! We can't hop out!" + +The farmer heard their cries and came over. He saw the two rabbits and the messy basket. He was very angry. He grabbed the net and took them away. + +"Ha, ha, I got you, you naughty rabbits. You ruined my Easter eggs. Now you will be my dinner," he said. + +Tom and Lily were very scared and sad. They wished they had listened to their mom and stayed away from the fence. They learned a hard lesson. The end. +Anna loves her puppy, Max. He is small and soft and likes to play. Anna likes to hug him and hear him bark. Max is her best friend. + +One day, Anna and Max go to the park with Mom. There are many trees and flowers and birds. Anna and Max run and jump and have fun.

Max sees a ball on the other side of the road. He wants to get it. He runs after it. He does not see the truck. + +Anna is scared. She shouts, "Max, stop!" Mom is scared too. She drops her book and runs. She tries to catch Max. But the truck is faster. + +Anna hears a thud. She hears a yelp. She hears a horn. She does not hear Max. She cries. Mom cries. The truck stops.

She knows he is her best friend. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with puzzles. Lily has a puzzle with a yellow cross. Ben has a puzzle with a blue star.

Lily says. She looks at her puzzle. She has two pieces left. She tries to find where they go. + +"Can I help you, Lily?" Ben asks. He is kind. + +"Thank you, Ben, but I can do it by myself," Lily says. She is proud. She puts one piece in the right place. She has one piece left. + +She looks at the piece. It is yellow. She looks at her puzzle. There is no yellow space. She is confused. + +"Uh-oh, Lily, I think you have the wrong piece," Ben says. He looks at his puzzle. There is a yellow space.

Their puzzles are complete. They are happy. + +They hug each other. They are friends. They like to play with puzzles. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They were very competitive and always tried to win every game. One day, they decided to race to the big cliff near their house. The cliff was high and had a nice view of the sea. + +"Ready, set, go!" Anna shouted and ran as fast as she could. Ben followed her, but he was a little slower. He did not like to lose to his sister. He tried to catch up with her, but he was not careful. He tripped on a rock and fell down. He scraped his knee and started to cry. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Anna asked. She stopped running and ran back to him. She saw his knee and felt sorry for him. She forgot about the race and hugged him. "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to make you fall. Here, let me help you." + +She took a band-aid from her pocket and put it on his knee. She kissed it and said, "There, all better. Do you want to go to the cliff with me? We can see the sea and the birds. It's very pretty." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He was not angry at Anna anymore. He liked his sister and he liked the sea. He took her hand and said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very nice. You remind me of Mommy. She always helps me when I'm hurt." + +They walked together to the cliff and enjoyed the view. They forgot about the race and had fun. They learned that being kind was better than being competitive. +Lily and Ben are twins who love to play with their toys.

They want to have more fun with the panda. + +They swing the panda harder and harder, until it flies off the hook and lands on the floor. The panda makes a loud noise and breaks a vase. The twins are scared and run to the kitchen. They leave the panda and the vase on the floor. + +Their mom hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees the mess and is angry. "Who did this?" she asks. "Not us, mom!" they say. "We were busy eating lunch!" They lie to their mom and hope she won't find out. + +But their mom knows they are lying. She sees the panda on the floor and the hook on the ceiling. She sees the crumbs on their plates and the sauce on their faces. She is very disappointed in them. "You should not lie to me, kids," she says. "You should tell the truth and say sorry. Lying is bad and makes me sad. Telling the truth is good and makes me happy. Do you understand?" + +The twins feel sorry and ashamed. They know they did wrong. They hug their mom and say sorry. They promise to tell the truth and to clean up the mess. They learn their lesson and never lie again. They also take good care of their panda and play with it gently. They are happy and so is their mom. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park.

He cried for help. + +Mia heard Ben's cry. She ran to the fence and saw Ben and the dog. She felt helpless. She did not know what to do. She shouted, "Help! Help! Someone help us!" + +A man heard Mia's shout. He came to the fence and saw Ben and the dog. He was the owner of the dog. He called the dog and made it stop barking. He said, "Don't worry, kids. I will help you. My dog is not mean. He just does not like strangers. He was trying to protect his home." + +The man helped Ben get down from the fence. He checked if Ben was hurt. He said, "You are lucky, kid. You could have been bitten by my dog. Or you could have fallen and broken your bones. Why did you climb the fence? Didn't you see the sign?" + +Ben felt ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, sir. I was curious. I wanted to see what was behind the fence. I did not listen to the sign. Or to my friend. She told me not to climb the fence. But I did not reply. I was wrong." + +The man said, "You should always listen to the sign. And to your friend. They are there to help you and keep you safe. You should be grateful to your friend. She was brave and smart. She tried to stop you and save you. You should say sorry to her and thank her." + +Ben said, "You are right, sir. I'm sorry, Mia. And thank you. You are a good friend. I will listen to you and to the sign next time." + +Mia smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "You are welcome, Ben. And I'm glad you are okay. You are a good friend, too.

And remember, the sign is your friend." + +Ben and Mia said, "Yes, sir. Thank you, sir." They ran away from the fence and played somewhere else. They never climbed the fence again. They always listened to the sign. And to each other. +Sara and Ben are friends who like to play farm. They have a toy barn, some animals, and a big bag of wheat. They pretend to feed the animals and make bread with the wheat. + +One day, Sara decides to teach Ben how to make bread. She says, "First, you need to take some wheat and put it in a bowl. Then, you need to add some water and mix it with your hands. That's how you make dough." + +Ben nods and tries to do what Sara says. But he puts too much water in the bowl and the wheat becomes soggy and sticky. He says, "Oops, I think I did it wrong. Can you help me, Sara?" + +Sara looks at Ben's bowl and frowns. She says, "That's not dough, that's a mess. You don't know how to make bread. You're a bad farmer." + +Ben feels sad and angry. He says, "No, I'm not. You're a bad teacher. You didn't show me how to do it right. And this is not real wheat, this is fake wheat. It's just plastic. You can't make bread with fake wheat." + +Sara and Ben start to argue and shout at each other. They forget that they are playing and that they are friends. They throw the wheat and the bowl at each other and make a big mess. + +Their mom hears the noise and comes to see what's wrong. She sees Sara and Ben covered in wheat and water and scolding each other. She says, "What are you doing, Sara and Ben? Why are you fighting? You're supposed to be having fun." + +Sara and Ben stop and look at their mom. They feel ashamed and sorry. They say, "We're sorry, mom. We were playing farm and we wanted to make bread, but we couldn't. We got mad and we said mean things." + +Mom says, "It's okay to make mistakes and to ask for help, but it's not okay to be rude and to hurt each other. You need to apologize and to share. And you need to clean up this mess." + +Sara and Ben say, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, Sara. We're sorry, Ben. We'll be nice and we'll clean up." + +Mom says, "That's good. I'm glad you're friends again. And maybe next time, we can make real bread together. How does that sound?" + +Sara and Ben smile and hug. They say, "That sounds great, mom. Thank you. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Sara and Ben. Now, let's get to work." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with gear. Gear is fun. Gear has wheels and gears and chains.

They grab the bag of money. They run back to the hole. + +The dog notices them. It chases them. It is faster than them. It almost bites them. But they make it to the hole. They escape from the dog. + +They are safe. They are happy. They have the money. They hug each other. + +"We did it, cop. We got the money back," Tim says. + +"We did it, robber. We escaped from the dog," Sam says. + +They laugh. They share the money. They are still brothers. They are still friends. They play another game. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily and Ben always have fun in the park. + +One day, their mom takes them to a new park. The new park is very modern. It has a lot of colorful shapes, lights, and sounds. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to try everything. + +"Look, mom, a fruit machine!" Lily says. She sees a big red button with a picture of a fruit on it. She pushes the button. A loud voice says, "Please choose a fruit." Lily sees a screen with many fruits. She likes apples. She touches the apple on the screen. + +"Good choice. Here is your apple." The voice says. A small door opens and a fresh apple comes out. Lily is happy. She takes the apple and bites it. It is sweet and juicy. + +"Wow, that's cool. I want a fruit too." Ben says. He runs to the fruit machine. He pushes the button. He sees the screen with many fruits. He likes bananas. He touches the banana on the screen. + +"Sorry. We are out of bananas. Please choose another fruit." The voice says. Ben is sad. He does not like other fruits. He wants a banana. + +"Please choose another fruit." The voice repeats. + +"No, I want a banana." Ben says. He pushes the button again and again. He hopes a banana will come out. + +"Please stop. You are breaking the machine." The voice says. But Ben does not listen. He pushes the button harder and harder. He hears a loud beep and a spark. The machine starts to smoke. + +"Ben, stop! You are making a mess!" Lily says. She drops her apple and runs to Ben. She tries to pull him away from the machine. + +"Mom, help!" Lily and Ben shout. Their mom hears them and runs to them. She sees the smoking machine and the scared twins. + +"Oh, no. What have you done?" She says. She grabs Lily and Ben and takes them away from the machine. She sees a sign that says, "Do not touch. This is a prototype. Not for children." + +"Sorry, sorry, sorry." She says to the park staff who come to check the machine. She apologizes and explains that her twins did not know better. She hopes they can fix the machine. + +Lily and Ben feel bad. They did not mean to break the machine. They just wanted some fruit. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not know." They say. + +"I know, sweeties. But you have to be careful. Not everything in the park is for playing. Some things are for learning and testing. You have to ask before you touch." She says. + +She hugs them and kisses them. She says she loves them. She says they can go back to the old park. The old park has a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily and Ben like the old park. They say they do not want any more fruit. They just want to play. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with a swing. The swing is made of a rope and a tire. + +"Can we try the swing?" Mia asks Ben. + +"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the tree and take turns on the swing. They have fun. + +But then, another boy comes. He is bigger than Ben and Mia. He has a mean face. He wants the swing. + +"Get off the swing! It's mine!" he says to Mia. He pushes her and grabs the rope. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Ben says. He tries to get the rope back, but the boy is too strong. + +"Go away, you little rats! This is my park!" the boy says. He laughs and swings high. + +Ben and Mia are sad and scared. They don't know what to do. They look around for help. + +They see a girl. She is older than them. She has a kind smile. She is walking a dog. + +"Excuse me, can you help us?" Ben asks the girl. + +"What's wrong?" the girl asks. + +"That boy took our swing. He pushed Mia and he won't let us play," Ben says. + +"That's not fair. He can't do that," the girl says. She walks to the tree and talks to the boy. + +"Hello, I'm Lily. What's your name?" she asks. + +"Tom. What do you want?" the boy says. + +"I want to ask you something. Can you lend me the rope for a minute?" she asks. + +"Why?" the boy says. + +"Because I want to show you something. It's easy and fun. Trust me," she says. + +The boy is curious. He thinks Lily is cool. He gives her the rope. + +"Thank you. Now, watch this," she says. She ties the rope to the dog's collar. Then, she tells the dog to run. + +The dog runs fast. The rope pulls the tire. The boy falls off the swing. He lands on the grass. + +"Ouch! That hurts!" he says. + +"Sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" Lily says. + +"No, I'm not okay. You tricked me!" he says. + +"No, I didn't. I just showed you a new game. It's called dog-swing. Do you want to try again?" she says. + +"No, I don't. I hate this game. I hate you. I hate this park. I'm going home," he says. He runs away, crying. + +Lily unties the rope and gives it back to Ben and Mia. + +"Here you go. You can have the swing. I'm sorry he was mean to you. He needs to learn to share and be nice," she says. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and smart. You saved us. Can we be your friends?" Ben and Mia say. + +"Of course. I would love that. Do you want to play with me and my dog?" Lily says. + +"Yes, please. What's your dog's name?" Ben and Mia say. + +"His name is Spot. He likes to play fetch and chase. Come on, let's go!" Lily says. + +They all go to another part of the park. They play with Spot and have fun. They forget about the bad boy. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara and Ben were playing in the snow. They liked to make snowballs and throw them at each other. They laughed and ran and hid behind trees. + +But then they saw a big dog coming towards them. The dog was black and furry and had sharp teeth. It barked and growled and looked angry. + +"Ben, I'm scared!" Sara said. "What do we do?" + +Ben thought quickly. He saw a big pile of snow near them. He had an idea. + +"Come on, Sara, let's gather some snow and make a shield!" he said. "Maybe the dog will go away if we hide behind it." + +They worked together and piled up the snow as high as they could. They made a wall of snow between them and the dog. The snow was cold and icy, but they did not mind. + +They peeked over the shield and saw the dog still coming. They hoped the shield would be strong enough. + +But then they heard a voice. + +"Rex, come here, boy!" the voice said. "Leave those kids alone!" + +They looked and saw a man walking towards them. He had a leash in his hand. He was the dog's owner. + +He reached the dog and put the leash on him. He smiled and waved at Sara and Ben. + +"Sorry about that, kids," he said. "Rex is friendly, but he likes to chase things. He didn't mean to scare you." + +Sara and Ben felt relieved. They smiled and waved back. + +"It's okay, mister," Ben said. "We made a shield to protect us." + +The man nodded and praised them. + +"That's very smart of you," he said. "You're brave and clever kids. Have fun playing in the snow, but be careful." + +He walked away with the dog, who wagged his tail. + +Sara and Ben looked at each other and hugged. + +"We did it, Sara," Ben said. "We made a shield and we were safe." + +"Yes, Ben," Sara said. "We did it. And we had fun." + +They decided to keep playing in the snow, but they also kept their shield, just in case. +Lila and Tom like to play with boats. They have many boats of different colors and sizes. They take their boats to the pond and make them sail on the water. They pretend they are sailors and have adventures. + +One day, they see a big boat on the pond. It is white and blue and has a flag. It looks like a real boat. They want to see it closer. They walk to the edge of the pond and lean over. But they lean too much and fall into the water. They are scared and wet and cold. + +The big boat has a man on it. He is a sailor. He sees Lila and Tom in the water. He is helpful. He steers his boat to them and throws them a rope. He pulls them up and wraps them in a blanket. He tells them his name is Sam and he is a friend. He takes them to the shore and helps them find their parents. + +Lila and Tom are happy and thankful. They say sorry for falling into the pond and thank Sam for saving them. Sam smiles and says it is okay. He says he likes their boats and invites them to visit his boat again. He says he will teach them how to be good sailors. Lila and Tom agree and hug him. They have a new friend. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big sign that said "Archery". They wanted to try it. They ran to the booth where a man was giving out bows and arrows. + +"Can we play?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but you have to be careful. These arrows are sharp and heavy. You have to weigh them in your hand and aim well," the man said. He gave them each a bow and an arrow. + +Lily and Tom tried to hold the arrows, but they were too heavy for them. They dropped them on the ground. + +"Oops!" Lily said. + +"Sorry!" Tom said. + +The man smiled. He said, "Don't worry. I have some smaller arrows for you. These are lighter and easier to use. Here, try these." + +He gave them each a smaller arrow. They felt much better in their hands. They lifted the bows and pulled the strings. + +"Ready, set, go!" the man said. + +Lily and Tom let go of the strings. The arrows flew in the air. They made a whizzing sound. + +Lily's arrow landed on the target. It hit the red circle in the middle. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "I did it!" + +Tom's arrow landed on the target too. But it hit the edge of the blue circle. + +"Aw!" Tom said. "I missed!" + +The man clapped his hands. He said, "That was impressive! You both did very well for your first time. Do you want to try again?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They liked archery. They wanted to play more. They picked up their arrows and got ready for another round. +Anna and Ben were going to have a picnic with their mom and dad. They packed some bread, cheese, fruit and juice in a big basket. They walked to the park and found a nice spot under a big tree. + +"Let's eat!" said mom. "I'm hungry!" + +Anna and Ben opened the basket and took out their food. They started to chew on their bread and cheese. They liked the taste. + +But there was a problem. A big, black dog came running to their picnic. He smelled the food and wanted some too. He barked and jumped on the basket. + +"Go away, dog!" said dad. "This is our picnic, not yours!" + +But the dog was stubborn. He did not listen to dad. He grabbed a piece of cheese with his mouth and ran away. + +"Hey, that's mine!" said Ben. He was angry. He chased the dog. + +"Ben, come back!" said mom. "It's not safe to run after a dog!" + +But Ben was stubborn too. He did not listen to mom. He wanted his cheese back. + +The dog was faster than Ben. He ran to the other side of the park. He saw a pond with some ducks. He thought the ducks looked tasty. He dropped the cheese and jumped into the water. + +The ducks were scared. They quacked and flew away. The cheese floated on the water. + +Ben finally caught up with the dog. He saw the cheese in the pond. He reached for it. + +But the dog was not happy. He did not want to share his cheese. He growled and bit Ben's hand. + +"Ow!" said Ben. He cried. He let go of the cheese. + +Mom and dad heard Ben's cry. They ran to him. They saw the dog and the cheese. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" said mom. She hugged him. + +"It hurts!" said Ben. He showed his hand. It had a red mark. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," said dad. He looked at the dog. "Bad dog! You should not bite people!" + +The dog felt sorry too. He wagged his tail. He gave the cheese back to Ben. + +"Here, you can have it," he said. He licked Ben's hand. + +Ben smiled. He was not angry anymore. He shared his cheese with the dog. + +"Thank you, dog," he said. He petted him. + +The dog was happy. He made a new friend. + +"Can we keep him, mom?" said Ben. + +Mom and dad looked at each other. They smiled. + +"Maybe," they said. "But only if he behaves." + +They all laughed. They finished their picnic. They had a good day. +Ben and Lily liked to swim in the pond near their house. They went there every Tuesday with their mom. They saw fish and frogs and ducks in the water. They had fun splashing and kicking and floating. + +One Tuesday, they saw something unusual in the pond. It was big and green and had a long tail. It looked like a lizard, but much bigger. Ben and Lily were curious. They wanted to see it closer. + +"Mom, look! What is that?" Ben asked, pointing at the thing. + +"I don't know, Ben. It might be dangerous. Stay away from it," Mom said, looking worried. + +But Ben and Lily did not listen. They swam closer to the thing. They thought it was friendly. They wanted to touch it. + +The thing saw them coming. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. It was not friendly. It was hungry. It was a crocodile. + +The crocodile snapped at Ben and Lily. They screamed and tried to swim away. But it was too late. The crocodile caught them and dragged them under the water. + +Mom heard their screams and ran to the pond. She saw the crocodile and the bubbles. She was too late. She could not save them. + +She cried and cried. She wished she had stopped them. She wished they had listened. She wished it was not Tuesday. +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a blue hat and a carrot nose. They gave him a smile and two eyes with rocks. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Tom said. "Do you like the snow?" + +"Yes, I do!" Lily said, pretending to be the snowman. "The snow is my home. I belong here." + +Tom and Lily laughed and hugged the snowman. They were happy and warm. + +But then the sun came out. It was bright and hot. The snow started to melt. + +"Oh no!" Tom said. "Mr. Snowman is getting smaller!" + +"Quick, let's move him to the shade!" Lily said. "Maybe he will stay cold there." + +They tried to push the snowman, but he was too heavy. They could not move him. + +"I'm sorry, Mr. Snowman!" Tom said. "We can't help you." + +"Don't be sorry!" Lily said, pretending to be the snowman again. "You are my friends. You made me happy. Thank you." + +Tom and Lily felt sad. They said goodbye to the snowman and went inside. They hoped he would be okay. They hoped he would belong somewhere else. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to help their mom in the kitchen. Today, mom is making soup. She gives Anna and Ben some vegetables to wash and cut. + +Anna likes carrots. She peels them with a knife and cuts them into small pieces. Ben likes beans. He snaps them with his fingers and breaks them in half. They put the vegetables in a big pot with water and salt. + +"Good job, Anna and Ben!" mom says. "You are very helpful and honest. You always do what I ask you to do." + +Anna and Ben smile. They are happy to hear mom's words. They love mom very much. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is Max, their dog. He is barking and jumping on the table. He sees the bread and the cheese that mom left there. He wants to eat them. + +"Max, no!" mom shouts. "That is not for you! That is for our lunch!" + +Anna and Ben run to the table. They try to stop Max. But Max is too fast and strong. He grabs the bread and the cheese and runs away. + +"Bad dog, Max!" Anna and Ben say. "You are not honest. You are naughty. You do not listen to mom." + +Mom sighs. She is not angry, but she is sad. She has to make more bread and cheese for lunch. She hugs Anna and Ben. + +"It's okay, my darlings," she says. "Max is a good dog, but he is also greedy. He does not know better. We have to teach him to share and to obey. And we still have our soup. It will be delicious with our vegetables." + +Anna and Ben nod. They agree with mom. They hope Max will learn to be honest and helpful, like them. They go back to the kitchen and wait for the soup to be ready. They smell the carrots and the beans. They are hungry and excited. They love soup very much. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, 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, Ben!" Sam said. "Maybe we will find something fun!" + +"OK, Sam!" Ben said. "But be careful, the rocks are sharp and the flowers have bees!" + +They started to climb the hill, holding hands and helping each other. They saw many colors and shapes and heard many sounds. They were happy and curious. + +But then, Ben stumbled on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and cried. Sam ran to him and hugged him. + +"Are you OK, Ben?" Sam asked. "Do you want to go back?" + +"No, Sam," Ben said. "I want to see what is on the other side. Maybe there is a zero!" + +"A zero?" Sam asked. "What is a zero?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "But I heard mom say that zero is a number that means nothing. Maybe it is something unknown and cool!" + +Sam smiled and helped Ben stand up. He put a leaf on his knee and said, "Maybe you are right, Ben. Maybe there is a zero. But we have to be more careful and watch our steps. And we have to stick together, because we are brothers and we love each other." + +"Yes, Sam," Ben said. "We are brothers and we love each other. And we are brave and smart. We can find the zero!" + +They continued to climb the hill, holding hands and helping each other. They did not find a zero, but they found a pond with frogs and fish. They played with the animals and had fun. They learned that the hill had many things to see and enjoy, even if they were unknown. And they learned that the most important thing was to be kind and loyal to each other, even if they stumbled and got hurt. They were happy and proud. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big slide, a swing, and a zip. A zip is a long rope with a seat. You sit on the seat and hold the rope. Then you go very fast from one side to the other. + +One day, Tom and Mia go to the park. They see a new boy. He is on the zip. He goes very fast and very far. He laughs and shouts. Tom and Mia want to try the zip too. They wait for their turn. + +But the new boy does not share. He goes on the zip again and again. He does not let Tom and Mia have a go. Tom and Mia are sad. They are also envious. They want to have fun like the new boy. + +"Can we have a go, please?" Tom asks the new boy. + +"No, this is my zip. Go away!" the new boy says. He is rude and mean. + +Tom and Mia do not like the new boy. They go to the slide. They slide down and have fun. They forget about the zip and the new boy. + +The new boy sees Tom and Mia. He is bored of the zip. He wants to try the slide. He leaves the zip and runs to the slide. But Tom and Mia do not let him. They say: + +"This is our slide. Go away!" + +The new boy is sad. He is also envious. He wants to have fun like Tom and Mia. He learns a lesson. He should have shared the zip. He says sorry to Tom and Mia. He asks them to be his friends. Tom and Mia are kind. They forgive the new boy. They let him join them. They share the slide and the zip. They all have fun together. +Ben and Jen are twins. They like to play with cars. They have many cars, big and small, red and blue, fast and slow. But their favorite car is a fancy car. It is shiny and yellow, with four doors and a big trunk. It has a horn that goes beep-beep and lights that go flash-flash. + +One day, Ben and Jen want to play with the fancy car. They take it to the park, where there is a long road. They take turns to drive the car. Ben goes first. He makes the car go fast and slow, beep-beep and flash-flash. He is having fun. Then he sees a sharp turn. He thinks he can make the car go around the turn. He does not slow down. He pushes the car hard. + +But the car is too fast. It does not go around the turn. It goes off the road. It hits a rock. It makes a loud bang. The car breaks. The shiny yellow paint is scratched. The horn and the lights do not work. The car is not fancy anymore. It is sad. + +Ben is sad too. He knows he made a mistake. He knows Jen will be mad. He picks up the car and walks back to Jen. He says he is sorry. He shows her the car. He asks her to forgive him. + +Jen looks at the car. She looks at Ben. She sees he is sad. She feels sorry for him. She knows he did not mean to break the car. She knows he loves the car too. She hugs him. She says she forgives him. She says they can fix the car together. She says they can still play with the car. She says they are still twins. + +Ben and Jen smile. They hug the car. They go home. They find some glue and some paint. They fix the car. They make it shiny and yellow again. They make the horn and the lights work again. The car is fancy again. It is happy. + +Ben and Jen are happy too. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful. They learned to share. They learned to say sorry. They learned to forgive. They are good twins. They love each other. They love their fancy car. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park is large and has many trees and flowers. Anna and Ben like to pick flowers and make crowns. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. They run and laugh and have fun. They see a big yellow flower. It is very pretty. + +"Look, Ben, a big yellow flower!" Anna says. "Let's pick it and put it in our crown." + +"OK, Anna, let's pick it!" Ben says. They go to the flower and try to pick it. But the flower is too high. They cannot reach it. + +"Mom, mom, can you help us?" Anna and Ben call. Their moms come and see the flower. + +"That is a sunflower, Anna and Ben," one mom says. "It is very tall and strong. You cannot pick it. But you can admire it and take a picture with it." + +"Can we do that, mom?" Anna and Ben ask. + +"Sure, you can," the other mom says. She takes out her phone and snaps a photo of Anna and Ben smiling next to the sunflower. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They have a new picture and a new friend. They hug the sunflower and say thank you. Then they go back to play and pick other flowers. They love the park. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cage. They want to see what is inside. + +They go near the cage. They hear a loud roar. They see a lion. The lion is angry. It has sharp teeth and claws. It wants to get out. + +Tom and Sue are scared. They run away. But the cage is broken. The lion can get out. It chases Tom and Sue. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Sue shout. But no one hears them. The lion is faster. It catches Tom and Sue. It bites them. They cry. They hurt. They die. + +The lion is full. It goes back to the cage. It sleeps. No one knows what happened. Tom and Sue are gone. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It is very high and shiny. + +"Wow, look at that slide!" Anna says. "Do you want to try it?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, it is too scary. I might fall." + +Anna smiles. "Don't be afraid. It is fun. I dare you to go with me." + +Ben looks at the slide again. He does not want to be a chicken. He wants to be brave. He nods. "Okay, I dare you too." + +They hold hands and climb the steps. They reach the top. They sit on the slide. Anna wraps her legs around Ben's waist. She holds him tight. + +"Are you ready?" she asks. + +Ben gulps. He nods again. + +They push off. They slide down. They go very fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They scream and laugh. + +They reach the bottom. They tumble off. They hug each other. + +"That was awesome!" Anna says. + +"That was important!" Ben says. + +They look at each other. They smile. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna loved to draw with her pen. She was gifted at making pictures of animals, flowers and people. She always showed her drawings to her mom and dad, who praised her and hung them on the wall. + +One day, Anna wanted to draw a rainbow. She looked for her pen, but she could not find it. She asked her mom, "Mom, where is my pen?" + +Mom said, "I don't know, Anna. Maybe you left it in your room, or in the living room, or in the kitchen. Why don't you look for it?" + +Anna searched everywhere, but she could not find her pen. She felt sad and angry. She saw a bottle of juice on the table. She had an idea. She grabbed the bottle and ran to the wall where her drawings were. She opened the bottle and poured the juice on the wall, making a big mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was going on. She saw Anna and the juice and the wall. She was shocked and angry. She said, "Anna, what did you do? Why did you pour the juice on the wall? You ruined your drawings and the wall!" + +Anna said, "I wanted to draw a rainbow, but I could not find my pen. So I used the juice instead." + +Mom said, "Anna, that was not a good idea. You should not pour juice on the wall. That is not how you draw a rainbow. That is how you waste juice and make a mess. You should have asked me for help, or used another pen, or waited until you found your pen. You should respect your things and your work. You should be sorry for what you did." + +Anna realized that she made a mistake. She felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was wrong. I should not have poured the juice on the wall. I should have listened to you and looked for my pen. I should have respected my things and my work. I will not do it again. Can you forgive me?" + +Mom said, "I forgive you, Anna. But you have to help me clean the wall and the floor. And you have to learn from your mistake. Next time, think before you act. And remember, you are gifted at drawing with your pen, not with juice." + +Anna nodded and hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. And I love drawing with my pen. Can we buy a new pen tomorrow?" + +Mom said, "Yes, we can. But only if you promise to take good care of it and use it wisely." + +Anna said, "I promise, Mom. I will be a good girl and a good artist." + +The end. +Anna likes to bake muffins with her mom. They mix flour, eggs, milk, and sugar in a big bowl. Then they add blueberries and put the batter in small cups. Mom puts the cups in the oven and sets a timer. + +"Mom, can I have a muffin when they are done?" Anna asks. + +"Of course, sweetie. But you have to wait until they are cool. They are very hot now," Mom says. + +Anna nods and waits. She thinks about how yummy the muffins will be. She likes the smell of the muffins in the oven. She wonders if she can share them with her friends. + +Ding! The timer rings. Mom takes out the muffins and puts them on a rack. They look golden and fluffy. + +"Wow, they look so good, Mom!" Anna says. + +"Thank you, Anna. You helped me a lot. Do you want to try one?" Mom says. + +"Yes, please!" Anna says. + +Mom gives Anna a muffin and a glass of milk. Anna takes a big bite and smiles. The muffin is soft and sweet and has juicy blueberries inside. + +"Mmm, this is the best muffin ever, Mom!" Anna says. + +"I'm glad you like it, Anna. Do you want to take some to your friends?" Mom says. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes her muffin a lot, but she also likes her friends. They are friendly and fun and always play with her. + +"Yes, Mom. I want to share my muffins with my friends. They will like them too," Anna says. + +"Okay, Anna. That's very nice of you. Let's put some muffins in a bag and go to the park. Maybe we can find your friends there," Mom says. + +Anna nods and hugs Mom. She is happy. She likes to bake muffins with Mom. She likes to eat muffins with Mom. And she likes to share muffins with her friends. +Mia and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Mia wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Mia says. "You can go with me." + +Ben shakes his head. "No, it is too high. I will fall." + +Mia takes Ben's hand. "You will not fall. I will hold you. Look, there is a start at the bottom. We can sit on the start and slide down." + +Ben looks at the start. It is soft and yellow. He likes soft and yellow things. He nods. "Okay, I will try." + +Mia and Ben walk to the slide. They climb the steps. Mia helps Ben sit on the start. She sits behind him and wraps her arms around him. + +"Are you ready?" Mia asks. + +Ben feels Mia's hug. He feels safe. He nods. + +Mia pushes the start. They slide down. The wind blows their hair. They laugh. + +They reach the end of the slide. They stand up and hug. + +"That was fun!" Mia says. + +"Yes, it was!" Ben says. "Can we do it again?" +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food for their dolls and stuffed animals. They had a toy grill that looked like a real one, but it was small and plastic. + +One day, Lily wanted to make a cake on the grill. She said it would be yummy and fun. Max did not think so. He said cakes were for ovens, not grills. He wanted to make burgers and hot dogs on the grill. He said they were tasty and easy. + +They argued and argued. Lily said it was her turn to use the grill. Max said it was his turn to choose what to make. They both wanted to have their way. They both frowned and crossed their arms. + +Mom heard them and came outside. She saw them looking angry and sad. She asked them what was wrong. They told her their problem. Mom smiled and said she had an idea. She said they could both use the grill and make what they wanted. She said they could make an open cake. + +Lily and Max were confused. They asked Mom what an open cake was. Mom said it was a cake that had two layers and a filling in the middle. She said they could use bread for the layers and jam for the filling. She said they could toast the bread on the grill and spread the jam on top. She said they could cut the bread into shapes and decorate the cake with fruit and sprinkles. + +Lily and Max liked Mom's idea. They thought it sounded fun and yummy. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They worked together to make the open cake on the grill. They gave some to their dolls and stuffed animals. They gave some to Mom and Dad. They ate some themselves. They smiled and laughed. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and climb on the equipment. The equipment was orange and shiny. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they saw a big truck. The truck was also orange, but it was dirty and loud. The truck had a sign that said "Danger". The truck was carrying some pipes and wires. + +"Look, Ben, more equipment!" Lily said. "Let's go and see!" + +"No, Lily, we can't!" Ben said. "The sign says danger. That means it is not safe. We have to stay away." + +But Lily did not listen. She ran to the truck. She wanted to touch the equipment. She thought it would be fun. + +Ben followed her. He was scared. He tried to stop her. But it was too late. + +Lily reached the truck. She saw a big pipe. She lay down on the ground. She put her head under the pipe. She wanted to see what was inside. + +But the pipe was not empty. It was full of hot steam. The steam came out of the pipe. It burned Lily's face. Lily screamed. She was in pain. + +Ben ran to her. He tried to help her. He called for help. But nobody heard him. The truck was too loud. + +Lily and Ben were alone. They were sad and hurt. They wished they had listened to the sign. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with dangerous things. They can hurt you. Always follow the signs and the rules. They are there to protect you. +Anna was playing with her dolls in the bathroom. She liked to pretend they were having a tea party. She turned on the faucet to fill a cup with water. But she turned it too much and the water came out very fast. It splashed all over the sink and the floor and the dolls. + +"Oh no!" Anna cried. "What do I do?" + +She tried to turn off the faucet, but it was too hard. She pulled and pushed, but nothing happened. The water kept coming out. She felt helpless. She was scared that the water would flood the whole bathroom and make a big mess. + +She ran to the door and shouted, "Mommy! Mommy! Help me!" + +Mommy heard her and came quickly. She saw the water and the dolls and the faucet. She turned off the faucet and stopped the water. She picked up Anna and hugged her. + +"It's okay, sweetie. It was an accident. You didn't mean to do it. But next time, be careful with the faucet. It can be dangerous." + +"I'm sorry, Mommy. I was just playing. I didn't know it would do that." + +"I know, honey. I'm not mad at you. But let's clean up this mess together, okay?" + +"Okay, Mommy. Thank you for helping me." + +Mommy and Anna dried the sink and the floor and the dolls. They put the dolls back in their basket. They smiled and kissed each other. + +"I love you, Mommy." + +"I love you, too, Anna." +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their crayons and paper. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has many things inside. They see a big roll of paper, some tape, and some scissors. + +"Let's make a long line with the paper!" Tom says. He takes the paper and the tape and runs to the living room. He tapes one end of the paper to the wall. He unrolls the paper across the floor. He tapes the other end to the opposite wall. He smiles. "Look, Lily, a long line!" + +Lily follows Tom. She sees the paper line. She likes it. She takes her crayons and runs to the paper. She starts to draw on the paper. She draws flowers, stars, and hearts. She uses many colors. She is happy. + +Tom sees Lily drawing. He wants to draw too. He takes his crayons and runs to the paper. He draws cars, planes, and rockets. He uses many colors. He is happy. + +They draw and draw until the paper is full of pictures. They look at their work. They are proud. They show their mom and dad. Mom and dad are proud too. They clap and hug them. + +"Can we keep the paper line?" Tom asks. + +"Of course, you can," mom says. "But you have to clean up the garage first." + +Tom and Lily nod. They go to the garage. They see the box. They see something else. They see a big bottle of glue. They have an idea. + +They take the glue and the scissors. They cut the paper line into small pieces. They glue the pieces together. They make a big collage. They rub the glue with their fingers. They stick the pieces on a cardboard. They make a beautiful art. + +They show their mom and dad. Mom and dad are surprised. They are proud too. They clap and hug them. + +"You are very creative," dad says. "You are ready for art school!" + +Tom and Lily smile. They are happy. They love art. They love their paper line. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big tree with yellow fruits. They want to pick some fruits and make juice. + +"Look, Ben, lemons!" Anna says. "Let's get some." + +"But they are too high," Ben says. "We can't reach them." + +Anna has an idea. She sees a ladder near the shed. She runs to get it and brings it to the tree. + +"Help me, Ben," she says. "Hold the ladder for me. I will climb and get some lemons." + +Ben helps Anna. He holds the ladder steady. Anna climbs up and picks some lemons. She puts them in a basket. + +"Be careful, Anna," Ben says. "Don't fall." + +"I'm okay, Ben," Anna says. "I have four lemons. That's enough. I will come down now." + +Anna climbs down the ladder. She gives the basket to Ben. They are happy. They have lemons for juice. + +They run to the house. They see their mom in the kitchen. She is making a cake. + +"Mom, mom, look what we have!" Anna says. "We have lemons from the garden. Can we make juice?" + +"Wow, that's great!" Mom says. "You are very clever. Of course you can make juice. I will help you." + +Mom helps Anna and Ben. She cuts the lemons and squeezes them. She adds water and sugar. She stirs the juice. She pours it in glasses. + +"Here you go, Anna and Ben," she says. "Lemon juice for you. Enjoy!" + +"Thank you, mom," Anna and Ben say. They drink the juice. It is sour and sweet. They like it. + +They look out the window. They see the big tree with yellow fruits. It is distant. But they are proud. They have lemons from the tree. They have juice from the lemons. They have fun in the garden. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to wave at the birds and the clouds. + +One day, they saw a big tree in the park. It had many green leaves and brown branches. Lily and Tom wanted to climb the tree. They ran to the tree and looked for a place to start. + +"Look, I found a good branch!" Lily said. She pointed to a branch that was low and strong. "I can climb up here and wave at the birds!" + +"No, I want that branch!" Tom said. He pushed Lily away and grabbed the branch. "It is my branch! You find another one!" + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not like Tom pushing her. She wanted to climb the tree too. She looked for another branch, but they were all too high or too thin. She could not reach them. + +"Tom, please share the branch with me!" Lily said. "We can both climb and wave at the birds. It will be more fun!" + +"No, go away!" Tom said. He climbed higher on the branch and waved at the birds. He did not care about Lily. + +Lily felt very bad. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She walked away from the tree and sat on a bench. She cried softly. + +A nice lady saw Lily crying. She came to her and asked, "What is wrong, little girl? Why are you crying?" + +Lily told the lady what happened. She said, "Tom pushed me and took the branch. He did not share with me. He was mean to me." + +The lady hugged Lily and said, "I am sorry, Tom was mean to you. That was not nice. You deserve to have a friend who is kind and fair. Do you want to play with me? I have a ball and a kite. We can play and wave at the clouds." + +Lily smiled and nodded. She wiped her tears and said, "Yes, please. I want to play with you. You are nice to me." + +The lady took Lily's hand and they walked to the field. They played with the ball and the kite. They waved at the clouds and laughed. Lily felt happy again. + +Tom saw Lily and the lady playing. He felt lonely and bored. He wished he had someone to play with. He realized he was wrong to push Lily and take the branch. He climbed down from the tree and ran to Lily and the lady. He said, "Lily, I am sorry. I was mean to you. Can I play with you and the lady? Can we be friends again?" + +Lily looked at Tom. She saw he was sorry. She said, "OK, Tom. I forgive you. You can play with us. But you have to share and be nice." + +Tom nodded and said, "I will share and be nice. I promise." + +The lady smiled and said, "That is good, Tom. Come on, join us. We have enough fun for everyone." + +Lily, Tom and the lady played together. They shared the ball and the kite. They waved at the birds and the clouds. They were happy and friendly. They learned to be good friends. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They gather leaves and flowers and make a big pile. They pretend it is a castle. + +"Let's have a quiz," Lily says. "I will ask you questions and you will answer. If you are right, you get a leaf. If you are wrong, you give me a flower." + +"OK," Tom says. "You go first." + +"What color is the sky?" Lily asks. + +"Blue," Tom says. + +"Good. You get a leaf." Lily gives him a leaf. "Now you ask me." + +"What sound does a dog make?" Tom asks. + +"Woof," Lily says. + +"Good. You get a flower." Tom gives her a flower. "Now I ask you." + +"What is soft and fluffy and lives in the clouds?" Lily asks. + +Tom thinks hard. He looks at the sky. He sees something white and soft. + +"A sheep?" he guesses. + +Lily laughs. "No, silly. A sheep lives on the ground. The answer is a cloud. You are wrong. You give me a flower." + +Tom gives her a flower. He is not sad. He likes to play with Lily. They have fun with their quiz. They learn new things. They share their leaves and flowers. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make snowballs and snowmen and snow angels. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big hill with lots of snow. They want to slide down the hill. They find a big box and put it on the snow. They get inside the box. The box is tight. They can barely fit. + +They push the box down the hill. The box goes fast. They feel the wind and the snow on their faces. They laugh and scream. They are happy. + +But then, the box hits a rock. The box breaks. Anna and Ben fly out of the box. They land on the snow. They are not hurt. They are just wet and cold. + +They look at each other. They are covered in snow. They look funny. They guess what happened. They start to giggle. They hug each other. They are still happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big box under a tree. They wanted to know what was inside. + +"Let's peek in the box," Tom said. "Maybe it has a toy or a cake." + +"No, we can't," Lily said. "It might be a mystery. Maybe it has a monster or a snake." + +Tom and Lily argued. Tom was brave and curious. Lily was scared and careful. They could not agree. + +Then they heard a voice from the box. It said, "Hello, children. Do you want to see me?" + +Tom and Lily were surprised. They looked at each other. Who was in the box? + +They decided to peek together. They walked slowly to the box. They lifted the lid. + +They saw a man in the box. He was bald and had a big smile. He was holding a puppet and a book. + +"Hello, I'm Mr. Bob," the man said. "I'm a storyteller. I came to the park to tell stories to children. Do you want to hear one?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were not afraid anymore. They were happy and curious. + +They sat down next to the box. Mr. Bob took out his puppet and his book. He started to tell them a story. + +It was a funny and exciting story. Tom and Lily laughed and listened. They forgot about the mystery. They enjoyed the story. +Lily likes to play with her dolls in her room. She has many dolls and they all have names and clothes. She likes to make them talk and act like her friends. Sometimes she lies on her bed and holds a doll close to her. She pretends the doll is her sister and they tell each other secrets. + +One day, Lily finds a mirror in her mom's closet. She thinks it is very shiny and pretty. She takes it to her room and puts it on her dresser. She wants to see how she and her dolls look in the mirror. She picks up one doll and stands in front of the mirror. She smiles and says, "Hello, mirror. This is my doll, Anna. She is very nice and smart. Do you like her?" + +The mirror does not say anything. Lily thinks the mirror is shy. She tries another doll. She says, "Hello, mirror. This is my doll, Ben. He is very funny and brave. Do you like him?" + +The mirror does not say anything. Lily thinks the mirror is rude. She tries another doll. She says, "Hello, mirror. This is my doll, Cara. She is very tidy and polite. Do you like her?" + +The mirror does not say anything. Lily thinks the mirror is boring. She gets angry and throws the mirror on the floor. The mirror breaks into many pieces. Lily hears her mom coming up the stairs. She is scared and hides under her bed with her dolls. + +Her mom opens the door and sees the broken mirror. She is shocked and angry. She says, "Lily, what did you do? Why did you break the mirror? That was my mirror and it was very special. You are very naughty and careless. Come out of there and say sorry." + +Lily does not come out. She lies under the bed and cries. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to play with the mirror. I wanted the mirror to talk to me and my dolls. But the mirror was not nice. It did not say anything. It did not like me or my dolls." + +Her mom sighs and kneels down. She says, "Lily, the mirror is not a toy. It is not alive. It cannot talk or like anything. It only shows you what you look like. You have to be careful with things that are not yours. You have to ask before you take them. And you have to be gentle with them. Do you understand?" + +Lily nods and wipes her tears. She says, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Can you forgive me?" + +Her mom hugs her and says, "Of course I forgive you, Lily. I love you very much. But you have to help me clean up the mess. And you have to be more tidy with your room. Look at all your dolls. They are everywhere. You have to put them away when you are done playing. OK?" + +Lily says, "OK, mom. I will help you and I will be more tidy. Thank you, mom. I love you too." +Lily liked to look at books. She liked the pictures and the words. She wanted to know what the words said. She asked her mom and dad to read to her. They read to her every night. + +One day, Lily saw a big book on the shelf. It had a lot of words and no pictures. She was curious. She wanted to see what was inside. She climbed on a chair and reached for the book. But the book was too heavy. It fell down and hit a lamp. The lamp fell down and hit a curtain. The curtain caught fire. It started to burn. + +Lily was scared. She saw the fire and the smoke. She smelled the bad smell. She cried out loud. Her mom and dad heard her. They ran to the room. They saw the fire and the book. They grabbed Lily and took her out. They called the firemen. The firemen came and put out the fire. + +Lily was sorry. She did not mean to start the fire. She did not mean to hurt the book. She hugged her mom and dad. They hugged her back. They were glad she was safe. They told her not to touch the big book again. They told her to be careful with fire. They told her they loved her. Lily said she loved them too. She said she was sorry. She said she still liked words. They smiled and kissed her. They said they liked words too. They said they would read to her more. They said they were proud of her for being curious. They said they would help her learn more words. Lily was happy. She liked books. She liked her mom and dad. She liked to learn. +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They made a big castle with many rooms and towers. They put their dolls and cars inside the castle. They were very happy. + +"Look at our castle!" Lily said. "It is incredible!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben said. "We are the king and the queen of the castle!" + +They pretended to have a feast and a dance in the castle. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Mom came in. She saw the blocks and the toys all over the floor. She was not happy. + +"Kids, it is time to clean up!" Mom said. "You have to put your blocks and toys back in the box. The floor is very messy!" + +Lily and Ben did not want to clean up. They liked their castle. They wanted to play more. + +"Please, Mom, can we keep the castle?" Lily asked. "It is incredible!" + +"Sorry, kids, but you have to clean up," Mom said. "You can make another castle tomorrow. But now, you have to help me tidy the room." + +Lily and Ben sighed. They knew Mom was right. They started to take apart their castle. They put their blocks and toys in the box. They said goodbye to their castle. + +"Goodbye, incredible castle!" Lily said. + +"Goodbye, incredible castle!" Ben said. + +They finished cleaning up. Mom smiled. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"Good job, kids!" Mom said. "You are very good at cleaning up. I am proud of you!" + +Lily and Ben smiled. They were proud of themselves, too. They loved their Mom. They loved their castle. They knew they could make another one tomorrow. +Anna was a poor girl who lived with her mother in a small house. They did not have much money, but they had a lot of love. Anna liked to help her mother with the chores, especially when they had to measure things. She had a wooden ruler that her father had made for her before he died. + +One day, her mother told her they had to make a new dress for Anna, because her old one was too small and torn. They went to the market and bought some cheap cloth with pretty flowers on it. Anna was very happy and thanked her mother. + +"Let's go home and measure you, my daughter," her mother said. "Then we can cut and sew the cloth and make you a beautiful dress." + +They walked back to their house, holding hands. On the way, they passed by a big and rich house, where a lady and a girl were standing at the door. The lady was wearing a shiny dress and a hat with feathers. The girl was wearing a pink dress and a ribbon in her hair. She had a doll in her arms. + +"Look, mother, look at that girl and her doll," Anna said, pointing at them. "She is so lucky. She has everything." + +Her mother smiled and hugged her. "Don't be sad, my daughter. You have something that she doesn't have. You have me, and I have you. And we have our ruler, and our cloth, and our love. That is more than enough." + +They reached their house and went inside. Her mother took out the ruler and the cloth and started to measure Anna. She measured her height, her waist, her arms, and her legs. She marked the cloth with a pencil and cut it with scissors. Then she took out a needle and a thread and began to sew the pieces together. + +Anna watched her mother with admiration. She wanted to be like her when she grew up. She wanted to be kind and smart and brave. She wanted to make her mother proud. + +"Can I help you, mother?" she asked. + +"Of course, my daughter. You can help me by holding the cloth and the thread. And you can also help me by telling me a story. I love to hear your stories." + +Anna smiled and nodded. She took the cloth and the thread and held them for her mother. She also thought of a story to tell her. She decided to tell her a story about a girl and her doll, who lived in a big and rich house, but who were not happy, because they did not have a mother, or a ruler, or a love. She thought it was a good story, and she hoped her mother would like it too. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a truck. They were having fun, but then Ben saw Lily's doll and wanted it. + +"Give me your doll, Lily. It is mine now," Ben said and grabbed the doll from Lily's hands. + +"No, Ben, it is not yours. It is mine. Give it back," Lily cried and tried to pull the doll back. + +They both pulled hard, and the doll's arm broke off. Lily and Ben gasped and looked at the doll. They felt sad and sorry. + +"Look what you did, Ben. You broke my doll. She is not great anymore," Lily said and tears rolled down her cheeks. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break your doll. I was bad," Ben said and hung his head. + +They both wished they could restore the doll's arm and make her great again. They didn't know how to do it. They looked around and saw their mom in the kitchen. + +"Mom, mom, can you help us?" they both called and ran to their mom with the doll. + +"What happened, my loves?" mom asked and saw the doll's arm in Ben's hand. + +"We were playing and we fought over the doll and we broke her arm. Can you restore her arm, mom? Please?" Lily and Ben said and looked at mom with hopeful eyes. + +Mom smiled and hugged them both. She took the doll and the arm and said, "Don't worry, my loves. I can restore her arm. I have some glue and some tape. She will be great again in no time. But you have to promise me something." + +"What, mom?" Lily and Ben asked. + +"You have to promise me that you will share your toys and not fight over them. They are not only yours, they are ours. We are a family and we love each other. Can you promise me that?" mom said and looked at them with loving eyes. + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We promise, mom. We are sorry. We love you and we love each other. And we love our toys." + +Mom kissed them and said, "I love you too, my loves. Now let me restore your doll's arm and then you can play nicely together." + +She took the glue and the tape and fixed the doll's arm. She gave the doll back to Lily and said, "Here you go, Lily. Your doll is great again. She is as good as new." + +Lily smiled and hugged her doll. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. You are great." + +She looked at Ben and said, "Ben, do you want to play with my doll? You can hold her hand. She is ours." + +Ben smiled and said, "Yes, Lily. Thank you. You are nice. You are great." + +They hugged each other and went back to the living room. They played with their toys and shared them. They were happy and mom was proud. They were a great family. +Mia and Leo were playing with their dog, Rex, in the park. Rex was a big, brown dog who liked to run and jump. He wore a blue collar with his name on it. Mia and Leo loved Rex very much. + +"Let's play fetch, Rex!" Mia said, throwing a stick for Rex to catch. Rex ran after the stick, wagging his tail. He picked up the stick in his mouth and brought it back to Mia. + +"Good boy, Rex!" Leo said, patting Rex on the head. "You are so fast and smart!" + +Rex barked happily and dropped the stick. He wanted to play more. He saw a squirrel on a tree and started to chase it. The squirrel ran up the tree and Rex followed it. He tried to climb the tree, but he could not. He scratched the bark with his paws and barked loudly. + +"Rex, come back!" Mia and Leo shouted. "You can't catch the squirrel!" + +But Rex did not listen. He was too wild. He wanted to catch the squirrel. He jumped on the tree again and again, but he always fell down. He did not see the slippery mud under the tree. He jumped one more time and slipped on the mud. He slid down the hill and lost his collar. He rolled and rolled until he stopped at the bottom of the hill. He was covered in mud and leaves. He looked very silly. + +"Rex, are you okay?" Mia and Leo asked, running down the hill to find him. They saw Rex lying on the grass, panting and licking his paws. He looked up at them and wagged his tail. He was not hurt, but he was very dirty. + +"Rex, you are a naughty dog!" Mia said, picking up his collar. "You should not chase squirrels. You could get hurt or lost." + +"Sorry, Mia," Rex said, in his doggy way. "I was just having fun. I love squirrels. They are so cute and fluffy." + +Mia and Leo laughed. They hugged Rex and put his collar back on. They did not mind that he was dirty. They loved him anyway. + +"Come on, Rex," Leo said. "Let's go home and give you a bath. Then we can play more." + +"Okay, Leo," Rex said, in his doggy way. "But can we play with the stick again? I like the stick. It is not slippery or fluffy." + +Mia and Leo nodded. They took Rex by the leash and walked home. They were happy to have Rex as their friend. He was a wild dog, but he was also a good dog. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll and Tom has a car. Lily wants to play with Tom's car, but Tom does not want to share. + +"Tom, can I have your car for a bit?" Lily asks. + +"No, this is my car. Go play with your doll," Tom says. + +Lily feels sad and angry. She tries to grab the car from Tom, but he holds it tight. They start to fight and yell. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. She comes from the kitchen and sees the mess. "You need to share and be nice to each other. If you don't, I will take away your toys." + +Lily and Tom ignore Mom. They do not listen to her. They keep fighting and yelling. + +Mom is very upset. She walks to the living room and picks up the toys. She puts them in a big box and closes it with a lock. She takes the box to the closet and puts it on a high shelf. + +"There, no more toys for you until you learn to behave," Mom says. + +Lily and Tom are shocked. They look at the empty floor and then at Mom. They feel sorry and ashamed. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We want our toys back. Please, can we have them?" Lily and Tom say. + +Mom shakes her head. She looks at them with a stern face. + +"No, not now. Maybe later, if you show me that you can share and be nice to each other. Now, go to your room and think about what you did," Mom says. + +Lily and Tom nod. They walk to their room with their heads down. They wish they had not ignored Mom. They wish they had played with their toys together. They hope Mom will open the box and give them their toys back soon. They promise to be good and share from now on. +Tom and Lily are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they like to make things with blocks. They build a big tower with red, blue, and green blocks. They are happy and proud of their tower. + +"Look, Mom!" Tom says. "We made a tower!" + +Mom comes to see their tower. She smiles and says, "Wow, that's a great tower! You are very clever, Tom and Lily. But it's time to go now. We have to hurry. We are going to the park with Grandma and Grandpa." + +Tom and Lily love the park. They want to see Grandma and Grandpa. They want to play on the swings and the slide. They want to feed the ducks and the squirrels. They say, "Okay, Mom. We are ready." + +But then they hear a loud noise. Crash! Their tower falls down. The blocks scatter on the floor. Tom and Lily are sad. They worked hard on their tower. They want to fix it. + +"Can we fix our tower, Mom?" Lily asks. "Please?" + +Mom looks at the clock. She says, "I'm sorry, Lily. We don't have time. We have to hurry. Grandma and Grandpa are waiting for us. We can fix your tower later. Come on, let's go." + +Tom and Lily are not happy. They don't want to leave their tower. They want to stay and play. They say, "No, Mom. We want to fix our tower. We don't want to go." + +Mom says, "I know, Tom and Lily. But we have to go. It's not nice to make Grandma and Grandpa wait. They are excited to see you. They have a surprise for you. Trust me, you will like it. Now, please, hurry. Put on your shoes and your coats. Grab your hats and your gloves. It's cold outside." + +Tom and Lily are curious. They wonder what the surprise is. They like surprises. They listen to Mom. They put on their shoes and their coats. They grab their hats and their gloves. They follow Mom to the door. + +But before they go, they look at their window. They see something yellow. It's bright and shiny. It's a big balloon. It has their names on it. It's tied to a car. It's Grandma and Grandpa's car. They are here! + +Tom and Lily are happy. They forget about their tower. They run to the window. They wave and shout, "Grandma! Grandpa! We see you! We see the balloon! Thank you! Thank you!" + +Grandma and Grandpa wave and smile. They say, "You're welcome, Tom and Lily. We love you. Come on, let's go to the park. We have more surprises for you. Hurry, hurry!" +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play pirates on the beach. They have a big box that is their ship. They have a flag, a hat and a sword. They pretend to sail on the sea and look for treasure. + +One day, they see a real ship on the water. It is big and white. It has a big anchor. Tom and Sam are curious. They want to see the ship up close. + +"Let's go to the ship!" Tom says. + +"OK, but be careful!" Sam says. + +They leave their box and run to the water. They swim to the ship. They climb on the ship. They enter the ship. They see many people and things. They see a captain, a cook, a sailor and a dog. They see a wheel, a map, a bell and a cannon. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom says. + +"Shh, don't make noise!" Sam says. + +But it is too late. The dog sees them and barks. The people see them and shout. + +"Hey, who are you?" the captain says. + +"We are pirates!" Tom says. + +"No, you are not! You are kids!" the captain says. + +He is not angry. He is smiling. He likes kids. + +"Come, I will show you around. This is my ship. It is called the Successful. It is a good ship. It can sail fast and far. It can carry many things. It can fight enemies. It has a big anchor. The anchor helps the ship stay in one place. Do you want to see the anchor?" the captain says. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Sam say. + +They follow the captain. He shows them the anchor. It is heavy and shiny. It has a chain and a hook. The captain lets them touch the anchor. + +"Be careful, it is sharp!" the captain says. + +Tom and Sam are happy. They like the ship and the captain. They learn many things. They have fun. + +They thank the captain and say goodbye. They swim back to the beach. They go to their box. They play pirates again. They pretend that the Successful is their ship. They pretend that the anchor is their treasure. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and draw pictures. One day, they find a big book with many symbols on it. The symbols are like letters, but different. They are curious and want to learn what they mean. + +They open the book and look at the symbols. They try to say them out loud, but they do not sound like words. They point at them and ask each other, "What is this? What is this?" They do not know. + +Then, they hear a loud noise. It is their teacher, Miss Lee. She is angry and worried. She sees the book and says, "Oh no! You should not touch this book! This book is very old and important. It has secrets and magic. You could break it or make something bad happen!" + +Anna and Ben are scared and sorry. They did not mean to make Miss Lee angry and worried. They did not know the book was old and important. They just wanted to learn. + +Miss Lee sees their faces and feels sorry too. She is not angry anymore. She says, "It's okay. I know you were curious. But you have to be careful with things you do not understand. Some things are not for children. They are for grown-ups who study and know a lot." + +She takes the book and puts it back on the shelf. She gives Anna and Ben a hug and a soft smile. She says, "Why don't you play with something else? I have some nice books with pictures and words you can read. And some crayons and paper you can draw with. Would you like that?" + +Anna and Ben nod and smile. They say, "Yes, please. Thank you, Miss Lee. We are sorry. We will be careful next time." + +They go to the table and pick up some books and crayons. They start to read and draw. They are happy and not worried anymore. They still wonder about the symbols, but they decide to wait until they are older and know more. They think Miss Lee will teach them when they are ready. They trust her. She is their friend. +Lily and Ben were on a trip with their mom and dad. They were in a big car that went very fast on the road. They saw many things outside the window: trees, houses, cows, birds. Lily liked to look at everything and ask questions. Ben liked to play with his toy cars and make noises. + +"Mom, what is that big thing over there?" Lily asked, pointing at a huge shape in the distance. + +"That is a mountain, Lily. It is very high and has rocks and snow on top. Do you want to see it closer?" Mom said. + +"Yes, please! Can we go there?" Lily said, excited. + +"Sure, we can. We are going to pass the mountain on our way to Grandma's house. It will take some time, but we will get there soon." Mom said. + +Lily and Ben watched as the mountain got bigger and bigger as they got closer. They saw how the road went up and down and curved around the mountain. They felt the car go slower and faster and make funny sounds. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Ben said, holding his toy car and pretending to drive. + +"I'm a little scared. The mountain is so big and the road is so small. What if we fall off?" Lily said, holding Mom's hand. + +"Don't worry, Lily. Dad is a good driver and he knows the way. The mountain is not scary, it is beautiful. Look, you can see the snow shining in the sun. And do you hear that? That is a waterfall. It is water that comes down from the mountain and makes a loud noise." Mom said, trying to calm Lily. + +Lily looked and listened. She saw the snow and the waterfall. She thought they were pretty. She felt less scared and more curious. + +"Can we stop and play in the snow and the water?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe on our way back, Lily. Right now we have to keep going. We are almost at the top of the mountain. Then we will go down and see Grandma. She is waiting for us with cookies and milk. Are you hungry?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, I am. And I'm tired too. This mountain is very long." Lily said, yawning. + +"Me too. I want to see Grandma and eat cookies and sleep." Ben said, rubbing his eyes. + +"Okay, kids. We are almost there. Just a little more. Look, we are passing the mountain now. See, there is the other side. And there is Grandma's house. Can you see it?" Dad said, pointing. + +Lily and Ben looked. They saw a small house with a red roof and a green garden. They saw Grandma waving at them from the door. They smiled and waved back. + +"Yay, we made it! We passed the mountain!" Lily said, clapping. + +"We did it! We are here!" Ben said, cheering. + +They got out of the car and ran to hug Grandma. They were happy and proud. They had passed the mountain. +One day, a boy named Ben saw a big dinosaur in his backyard. The dinosaur was green and had a long neck and a wide mouth. Ben was not scared. He liked dinosaurs and wanted to play with it. + +He ran to the dinosaur and said hello. The dinosaur looked at him and made a loud noise. Ben thought the dinosaur was happy to see him. He climbed on the dinosaur's back and held on to its neck. The dinosaur started to walk around the yard. + +Ben saw his mom and dad in the house. He waved to them and shouted, "Look, I have a dinosaur friend!" His mom and dad came out of the house. They were very surprised and a little scared. They did not know where the dinosaur came from or why it was in their yard. + +They asked Ben to come down from the dinosaur. Ben said, "No, I want to stay with the dinosaur. He is nice and fun." His mom and dad said, "But Ben, the dinosaur does not belong here. He might be lost or hungry or hurt. He needs to go back to his home. Maybe he has a family that misses him. Can you help us find his home?" + +Ben thought about it. He did not want to leave the dinosaur, but he also wanted to help him. He said, "Okay, I will help you find his home. But can I ride on him one more time?" His mom and dad said, "Yes, you can ride on him one more time, but then you have to say goodbye." + +Ben hugged the dinosaur and thanked him for playing with him. He said, "You are a good dinosaur. I hope you find your home and your family. Maybe we can see each other again someday." The dinosaur made a loud noise and licked Ben's face. He was happy that Ben was his friend and helped him. + +Ben's mom and dad called a man who knew a lot about dinosaurs. He came with a big truck and a wide cage. He said he would take the dinosaur to a safe place where he could live with other dinosaurs. He said Ben could visit him there if he wanted to. + +Ben said goodbye to the dinosaur and watched him go in the truck. He was sad, but he was also proud. He helped the dinosaur find his home. He was a good boy and a good friend. +Zara and Zane love to play with their toy cars. They zoom them on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. They make loud noises like vroom, beep, honk. They have fun together. + +One day, a new person comes to their house. His name is Zack. He is their cousin. He wants to play with them. But he is rude. He takes their toy cars without asking. He zooms them too fast and crashes them. He breaks one of Zara's cars. He laughs and says, "It's just a toy. Who cares?" + +Zara and Zane are sad and angry. They tell Zack to stop. They say, "That's not nice. You have to share. You have to be careful. You have to say sorry." But Zack does not listen. He says, "You are babies. I can do what I want. I don't care." + +Zara and Zane run to their mom. They tell her what Zack did. Their mom is upset. She says, "Zack, you are rude. You have to respect other people's things. You have to apologize. You have to fix the car. Or you can't play with them anymore." + +But Zack does not care. He says, "Whatever. I don't want to play with them anyway. They are boring. I have better toys at home." He grabs his backpack and runs to the door. He does not see the toy car on the floor. He trips and falls. He hurts his knee. He cries and says, "Ow, ow, ow. Help me. It hurts." + +Zara and Zane look at him. They feel sorry for him. But they also feel angry. They say, "That's what you get for being rude. You should have been nice. You should have listened. You should have cared." + +The moral of the story is: Be nice to others and respect their things. Or you might get hurt and lose your friends. +Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They make different structures with the blocks. Sometimes they make houses, sometimes they make towers, sometimes they make bridges. + +One day, they decide to make a big structure with all the blocks. They work hard and use all the blocks they have. They make a big wall with a door and a window. They make a roof with a chimney. They make a garden with flowers and trees. They are very proud of their structure. + +They want to go inside their structure and pretend it is their home. Anna goes first. She opens the door and walks in. But she is uncomfortable. The structure is too small for her. She cannot stand up or move around. She bumps her head on the roof and her feet on the wall. She says, "Ouch! This structure is too small! I don't like it!" + +Ben hears her and says, "Let me try!" He goes inside the structure too. But he is also uncomfortable. The structure is too crowded for him. He cannot find a place to sit or lie down. He pushes Anna and the blocks. He says, "Hey! This structure is too crowded! I don't like it either!" + +They both come out of the structure and look at it. They are not happy with their structure. They say, "This structure is not good for us. We need a bigger and better structure. Let's make a new one!" + +They knock down their structure and start again. They use the blocks to make a bigger and better structure. They make a house with two rooms and a balcony. They make a garage with a car and a bike. They make a playground with a slide and a swing. They are very happy with their new structure. + +They go inside their new structure and pretend it is their home. They have enough space and comfort. They can stand up and move around. They can sit and lie down. They can play and have fun. They say, "We love this structure! This is the best structure ever!" +Tom and Sue are brother and sister. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the floor, making noises like vroom and beep. + +One day, they find a new car in their toy box. It is not like their other cars. It is bigger and shinier. It has buttons and lights. It is not an ordinary car. + +"Wow, look at this car!" Tom says. "It is so cool! Can I drive it?" + +"No, I saw it first!" Sue says. "It is mine! You can drive your old cars!" + +They start to fight over the new car. They pull and tug and shout. They do not share. + +Mom hears them and comes to their room. She sees the mess on the floor and the new car in their hands. She is not happy. + +"Stop fighting, Tom and Sue!" Mom says. "That car is not yours. It is a gift for your cousin Sam. He is coming to visit tomorrow. You have to give it back." + +Tom and Sue feel sorry. They did not know. They let go of the car and hug each other. + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom says. + +"Sorry, Sue," Sue says. + +They put the car back in the toy box. They pick up their other cars and play nicely. They decide to make a card for Sam and welcome him with their ordinary cars. They are happy. +Anna and Ben like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also find some sticks and stones to make his eyes, nose and mouth. + +"Look, our snowman is so happy!" Anna says. + +"Yes, he is. But he needs something more. He needs a friend!" Ben says. + +They look around and see a small bird on a branch. The bird is cold and hungry. He has a thread in his beak. He wants to make a nest. + +"Hello, bird. Do you want to be our snowman's friend?" Anna asks. + +"Tweet, tweet. Yes, please. But I need a place to stay. It is too icy here." The bird says. + +"We can help you. We can make a nest for you on our snowman's head. Then you can keep him company." Ben says. + +They take the thread from the bird and find some more. They also find some straw and leaves. They make a cozy nest on the snowman's hat. They balance it carefully so it does not fall. + +"Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very kind. Now I have a warm home and a friend." The bird says. + +"You are welcome, bird. We are happy to share. Now we have a friend, too." Anna and Ben say. + +They smile and hug the snowman and the bird. They play in the snow until it is time to go home. They wave goodbye to their new friends and promise to come back soon. +Tim was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of cars and trucks and trains that he could push and zoom and crash. He also had a big teddy bear that he hugged and talked to every night. Tim loved his teddy bear very much. + +One day, Tim's mom told him to go to the toilet before bed. Tim did not want to go. He wanted to play more with his toys. He said no to his mom and ran to his room. He slammed the door and locked it. He did not care that his mom was angry and sad. + +Tim played with his toys for a long time. He made a lot of noise and mess. He did not hear his mom knock on the door and ask him to open it. He did not hear his mom say that she was sorry and that she loved him. He did not hear his mom cry and leave. + +Tim got tired and sleepy. He decided to go to bed. He picked up his teddy bear and hugged it. He walked to his bed. But he did not see his toy car on the floor. He stepped on it and slipped. He fell and hit his head on the edge of his bed. He felt a lot of pain and blood. He screamed and cried. But no one heard him. No one came to help him. + +Tim lay on the floor with his teddy bear. He closed his eyes and stopped breathing. He was dead. His mom did not know. She thought he was asleep.

Anna and Ben took turns to stir the batter. They were having fun and making a mess. Mom smiled and said, "It's okay, we can clean up later." + +When the batter was ready, mom poured it into a pan and put it in the oven. She said, "Now we have to wait for the cake to bake.

It smelled yummy and looked golden. + +Mom said, "Now we have to decorate the cake. Can you help me?" Anna and Ben nodded and followed her to the kitchen. Mom gave them some frosting, sprinkles, and candles. They spread the frosting on the cake and sprinkled it with colorful sprinkles. They put the candles on top and lit them. + +Mom said, "The cake is done. It looks amazing. You are very helpful and talented." She looked around and said, "But we have to tidy up the kitchen before dad comes home. Can you help me?" Anna and Ben nodded and started to put away the bowls, spoons, and aprons. They wiped the table and the floor with a cloth. They threw away the eggshells and the wrappers. + +Mom said, "The kitchen is tidy. It looks nice and clean. You are very responsible and cooperative."

He hugged them and kissed them. They all sat down and ate the cake together. They were a happy family. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They like to make them go fast and make loud noises. They have a big car that needs a battery to work. Tom wants to try it, but Mia says no. + +"That car is dangerous. It can hurt you. Mom said we can't use it," Mia says. + +"I don't care. I want to play with it. It looks fun," Tom says. He takes the car and the battery from the shelf. He puts the battery in the car and turns it on. The car starts to move and make a loud noise. + +"Tom, stop! Give it back!" Mia shouts. She runs after him, but the car is too fast. Tom laughs and drives the car around the garden. He does not see the big rock in front of him. The car hits the rock and flips over. The battery falls out and sparks fly. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cries. He holds his hand. It is red and sore. The car is broken and smoking. Mia runs to him and hugs him. + +"Are you okay, Tom? I'm sorry. That was scary," Mia says. + +"I'm sorry, too. You were right. That car was dangerous. I should have listened to you," Tom says. He hugs her back. + +Mom hears the noise and comes out. She sees the car, the battery, and the kids. She is angry and worried. + +"What happened here? What were you doing with that car? That car is not for you. It is for grown-ups. It can hurt you. You could have started a fire. You are in big trouble, young ones," Mom says. + +Tom and Mia look at each other. They feel bad. They say sorry to Mom. Mom takes them inside. She puts a bandage on Tom's hand. She tells them to sit on the couch and think about what they did. She says they can't play with their toy cars for a week. Tom and Mia nod. They learn their lesson. They decide to play with safer toys next time. +Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. One day, her mom was making soup for lunch. Lily wanted to taste the soup, but her mom said it was too hot. Lily did not listen. She took a big spoon and dipped it in the soup. She burned her tongue and cried. + +Her mom came and hugged her.

If you are too fast, you can hurt yourself or others." + +Lily said she was sorry. She learned her lesson. She waited until the soup was cool and then tasted it. It was yummy. She said, "Mom, you make the best soup. Thank you for teaching me to be patient." + +But Tom, Lily's brother, did not learn. He was always fast and rude. He did not like to help or share. He liked to slap and grab. He saw Lily's soup and wanted it. He slapped Lily's hand and took her spoon. He put it in his mouth and swallowed. He burned his tongue and throat. He screamed. + +His mom came and scolded him. She said, "Tom, you should not be so fast and mean. You should respect your sister and her soup. You should ask nicely and wait your turn. If you are too fast and mean, you can hurt yourself or others." + +Tom said he was sorry. He was in pain. He wished he had listened to his mom and been nice to Lily. He learned his lesson. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry for slapping you and taking your soup. You are a good sister. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily was kind. She forgave Tom. She said, "Tom, I'm glad you are sorry.

He said, "Thank you, Anna, you are a good friend. I'm sorry I did not listen to you. You were right. The hole was bad. Can I drive your car now?" + +Anna nodded. She said, "Yes, you can.

I can run and bark and fetch," Ben said. + +They chased each other around the couch and the table, laughing and giggling. But then, Anna felt a tickle in her nose. She rubbed it with her hand, but it did not go away. She felt a big sneeze coming. + +"Achoo!" Anna sneezed loudly. She sneezed again and again. She felt her nose running and her eyes watering. She did not feel like playing anymore. + +"Anna, are you okay?" Ben asked. He stopped running and looked at her with concern. + +"I don't feel good, Ben. I sneeze and sneeze and my nose is wet," Anna said. She sniffled and wiped her nose with her sleeve. + +"Maybe you are sick, Anna. You should go to mommy and daddy. They can help you," Ben said. He took her hand and led her to the door. + +"Okay, Ben. Thank you for playing with me. You are a good friend," Anna said. She smiled weakly and followed him. + +Mommy and daddy were in the kitchen, making dinner. They heard Anna and Ben coming and turned to see them. + +"Hi, sweeties. What are you doing?" mommy asked. + +"Mommy, Anna is sick. She sneezes a lot and her nose is wet," Ben said. + +"Oh, poor Anna. Let me see, honey," mommy said. She walked over to Anna and felt her forehead. She was warm and sweaty. + +"Anna, you have a fever. You need to rest and drink some water. Come on, I'll take you to your bed," mommy said. She picked up Anna and carried her to her bedroom. + +Daddy followed them with a glass of water and a thermometer. He checked Anna's temperature and gave her some medicine. He also brought her a soft wrap to cover her and keep her warm. + +"There you go, Anna. You'll feel better soon. Just sleep and relax," daddy said. He kissed her forehead and tucked her in. + +"Thank you, daddy. Thank you, mommy. I love you," Anna said. She drank some water and closed her eyes.

You are the best sister ever. I hope you feel better soon," Ben said. + +They hugged and said good night. Ben left the room and joined mommy and daddy in the kitchen.

One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide. Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Lily says. She runs to the slide. Ben follows her. He does not want to be alone. + +Lily climbs up the ladder. She sits on the slide. She smiles at Ben. "Ready?" she asks. Ben nods. He is still scared. + +Lily slides down. She goes very fast. She laughs. She feels the wind in her hair. She sees the sun and the sky. They are beautiful. + +Ben climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide. He looks down. He sees how high he is. He feels his heart beat fast. He wants to go back. + +But it is too late. Lily pushes him. "Go, Ben, go!" she says. Ben slides down. He screams. He closes his eyes. He does not want to see. + +He opens his eyes. He is at the bottom. He is not hurt. He is not scared. He is happy. He sees Lily. She hugs him. "You did it, Ben, you did it!" she says. Ben smiles.

She climbed up to see what it was. It was a bag of money! Someone had hidden it there. Lily was curious and excited. She wanted to keep the money for herself. + +She climbed down with the bag and ran to her room. She opened the bag and saw many coins and bills. She thought of all the things she could buy with the money. She felt greedy and selfish. + +But then she heard a knock on the door. It was her friend Ben. He wanted to play with her. He asked her what was in the bag. Lily felt scared and guilty. She did not want to share the money or tell the truth. + +She lied to Ben and said it was nothing. She told him to go away. Ben felt hurt and confused. He did not understand why Lily was so mean. He left and did not want to be her friend anymore. + +Lily felt lonely and sad. She realized that the money was not worth losing her friend. She wished she had been honest and kind. She decided to give the money back to whoever owned it. She climbed up the tree and put the bag where she found it. + +She hoped that Ben would forgive her. She learned that money is not more important than friendship. She also learned that lying is wrong and being shy is not an excuse to be rude. She wanted to be a better person and a better friend. +Lily and Ben were playing pirates in the backyard. They had a big box for a ship, a stick for a sword, and a toy pistol for a gun. They pretended to sail the seas and look for treasure. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Ben said. "I see an island with a big X on it. Maybe there is gold and jewels there!" + +"Let's go, captain!" Lily said. "But be careful, there might be scary monsters or other pirates there!" + +They jumped out of the box and ran to the island, which was a pile of dirt and rocks. They dug with their hands and found a shiny coin. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "It's a real pirate coin! We are rich!" + +"Can I see it?" Lily asked. She wanted to hold the coin too. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. He put the coin in his pocket and held the pistol. "I found it first, so it's mine!" + +"That's not fair!" Lily said. She felt angry and sad. "We are a team, we should share!" + +She tried to grab the coin from Ben, but he pushed her away. + +"Stop it!" Ben said. "Or I will shoot you with my pistol!" + +Lily was scared. She didn't like Ben's pistol. It was loud and made her jump. She didn't want to get hurt. + +"Please, Ben, don't shoot me!" Lily said. She used a soft voice. "Please, can we be friends again?" + +She looked at Ben with big eyes. She hoped he would be nice to her. + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw that she was scared and sorry. He felt bad for being mean to her. He didn't want to lose his friend. + +"Okay, Lily, I'm sorry too," Ben said. He put the pistol down and took the coin out of his pocket. "Here, you can have the coin. I don't need it. I just want to play with you." + +He gave the coin to Lily and hugged her. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are a good friend," Lily said.

She does not know where they are. Lily and Ben stop running. They feel scared. They do not know how to go back. + +They shout back to their mom. They say, "Mom, we are here! We are in the woods! We saw a fox!" They hope their mom can hear them. They hope their mom can find them. They hope the fox is not angry. They hold hands and wait. +Anna and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. Mom told them to behave and stay close to her. + +"Look, mom, a giraffe!" Ben said, pointing to a tall animal with a long neck and spots. "Can we feed it?" + +Mom nodded and bought some leaves from a man. She gave some to Anna and Ben and they walked to the fence. The giraffe came closer and stretched its tongue to take the leaves. + +Anna was happy and giggled. She gave the giraffe more leaves and stroked its nose. But Ben was frightened. He thought the giraffe was too big and its tongue was too long. He hid behind mom and cried. + +"Ben, don't be scared. The giraffe is gentle and friendly. It won't hurt you," mom said, hugging him. "See, Anna is having fun. Do you want to try again?" + +Ben shook his head. He didn't want to feed the giraffe. He wanted to see other animals. Mom understood and took his hand. She said goodbye to the giraffe and Anna. They walked to another part of the zoo, where they saw penguins, snakes, and bears. Ben liked them better. He smiled and forgot his fear. He behaved well and had a good time. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in Anna's room. Anna has many toys and books on her bookshelf. Ben likes to look at the books and ask Anna what they are about. + +One day, they find a book with a picture of a princess and a prince on the cover. Ben picks up the book and says, "What is this book?" + +Anna says, "This is a fairy tale. It is about a princess who lives in a castle and a prince who comes to save her from a dragon." + +Ben says, "Wow, that sounds exciting. Can you read it to me?" + +Anna says, "I can try, but some words are hard. Maybe we can look at the pictures and make up our own story." + +They sit on the floor and open the book. They see the princess in a beautiful dress and the prince on a white horse. They see the dragon breathing fire and the castle with a tall tower. They see the prince fighting the dragon and the princess waiting in the tower. They see the prince and the princess hugging and smiling. + +Anna says, "And then they kiss." + +Ben says, "What is kiss?" + +Anna says, "Kiss is when you touch your lips to someone else's lips. It means you like them a lot." + +Ben says, "Oh, I see. Do you want to kiss me?" + +Anna says, "No, silly. We are just friends. And we are too young to kiss. Maybe when we are older." + +Ben says, "Okay, then. Can we read another book?" + +Anna says, "Sure, let's see what else we can find on the bookshelf." + +They put the fairy tale book back on the bookshelf and look for another book. They have fun reading and playing until Anna's mom calls them for lunch. They are not lazy. They are curious and happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pick blueberries from the bush and eat them. They were sweet and juicy. + +"Look, I found a big one!" Ben said, holding a blueberry in his hand. + +"Me too!" Anna said, showing him hers. + +They were about to put the blueberries in their mouths, when they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Spot, who had knocked over a flower pot. The pot was broken and the dirt was everywhere. + +"Oh no, Spot!" Anna and Ben said, running to the flower pot. + +Spot wagged his tail and licked their faces. He did not know he had done something bad. + +"Bad dog!" their mom said, coming out of the house. She saw the broken pot and the mess. She was not happy. She sighed and shook her head. + +"Anna, Ben, you have to be careful with the flower pots. They are not toys. And Spot, you have to stay away from them. You could get hurt." + +"Sorry, mom," Anna and Ben said. + +They helped their mom clean up the dirt and the broken pieces. They felt sorry for the flower that was in the pot. It was pretty and smelled nice. + +"Can we still eat our blueberries, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, you can. But wash them first. And share them with Spot. He likes blueberries too." + +Anna and Ben smiled. They washed their blueberries and gave some to Spot. They ate them together and hugged their mom and their dog. They were still happy, even if the pot was broken. +Ben and Lily like to play golf with their dad. They have a small golf set with balls and sticks. They go to the park and find a good spot to play. They take turns to hit the ball and see how far it goes. + +One day, they see another boy playing golf in the park. He has a big golf set with many balls and sticks. He hits the ball very hard and very far. Ben and Lily want to play with him, but he says no. He says his golf set is too good for them. He says they are too small and too slow. + +Ben and Lily feel sad and angry. They think the boy is mean and rude. They decide to show him that they can play golf too. They wait for him to hit the ball and then they run after it. They pick up his ball and throw it back to him. They say they are helping him get his ball. + +The boy is not happy. He yells at them and tells them to go away. He says they are ruining his game. He tries to hit the ball again, but Ben and Lily keep running after it and throwing it back. They think it is fun and funny. + +Their dad sees what is happening. He is thoughtful and wise. He goes to the boy and talks to him. He says that golf is a game for everyone. He says that Ben and Lily are his children and they want to be his friend. He says that sharing and playing together is more fun than playing alone. He asks the boy if he wants to join them. + +The boy thinks for a moment. He feels sorry for being mean and rude. He decides to give them a chance. He says yes and smiles. He shares his golf set with them and teaches them how to hit the ball better. They play golf together and have a good time. They become friends and say thank you to each other. Their dad is proud and happy. He says they are all good golf players. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they disagree about what to play. + +One day, Lily wants to play with the dolls. She takes them out of the drawer and puts them on the bed. She says, "Let's pretend they are having a tea party." + +But Ben wants to play with the cars. He takes them out of the drawer and puts them on the floor. He says, "Let's pretend they are racing." + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They disagree. They start to argue. + +"No, I want to play with the dolls!" Lily says. + +"No, I want to play with the cars!" Ben says. + +They raise their voices. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears them from the kitchen. She is worried. She comes to their room. She sees the mess. She sees the angry faces. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. + +Lily and Ben stop arguing. They look at Mom. They feel ashamed. + +"We disagree, Mom," Lily says. + +"We want to play different things, Mom," Ben says. + +Mom smiles. She hugs them. She says, "It's okay to disagree sometimes. But you have to be nice to each other. You have to share and take turns. You have to respect each other's choices. You are twins, but you are also different. And that's okay." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We're sorry, Mom." + +Mom says, "Why don't you try to play something together? Something that you both like." + +Lily and Ben think. They look at their toys. They have an idea. + +They say, "How about we play with the dolls and the cars? We can pretend they are friends. We can pretend they are going to the park." + +Mom says, "That sounds like fun. Go ahead and play. But remember to clean up when you are done." + +Lily and Ben say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom." + +They hug Mom. They smile at each other. They start to play. They don't disagree anymore. They have fun. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find things in the dirt. Sometimes they found worms, sometimes they found stones, sometimes they found seeds. + +"Look, Ben, I found an onion!" Lila said, holding up a round, white thing with green leaves. "It smells funny." + +"Let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the onion. "Maybe we can eat it." + +"No, we can't eat it. It's not good for us. It will make us cry." Lila said, pulling the onion away. "We have to put it back." + +"Why?" Ben asked, curious. "Who put it there?" + +"I don't know. Maybe someone hid it there. Maybe it's a secret onion." Lila said, looking around. "Maybe there's more." + +"Let's find out!" Ben said, excited. "Let's follow the leaves and see where they go." + +Lila and Ben started to follow the leaves of the onion. They dug and dug, and found more onions. Some were big, some were small, some were red, some were yellow. They made a pile of onions on the grass. + +"Wow, we found a lot of onions!" Lila said, proud. "Maybe we can make a soup." + +"Or a salad." Ben said, hungry. "Or a cake." + +"A cake?" Lila said, confused. "You can't make a cake with onions." + +"Why not?" Ben said, shrugging. "It might be yummy." + +Lila and Ben laughed. They liked to make up silly things. They decided to leave the onions for the birds and the bugs. They went back to their house and told their mom about their adventure. She smiled and gave them a hug. She was happy they had fun. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They go to the temple with their moms and dads. The temple is big and pretty. It has many colors and shapes. + +One day, Lila is sick. She has a fever and a cough. She cannot go to the temple with Ben. She stays at home with her mom. She feels sad and bored. She misses Ben and the temple. + +Ben goes to the temple with his dad. He looks for Lila, but he cannot find her. He asks his dad, "Where is Lila?" His dad says, "Lila is sick. She is at home with her mom. She cannot come today." Ben feels sad and lonely.

They go to the temple with their moms and dads. The temple is big and pretty. It has many colors and shapes. They wait for the next time they can see each other and have fun. +Sara and Ben were playing in the yard. They saw a big trunk near the fence. It was brown and had a lock on it. + +"Let's open it!" Sara said. "Maybe there is something fun inside." + +Ben nodded. He ran to the trunk and tried to pull the lock. But it was too hard. He could not open it. + +"Let me try!" Sara said. She pushed Ben away and grabbed the lock. She pulled and pulled. But it was too hard for her too. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was Mr. Jones, their neighbor. He was holding a letter. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" he asked. "That's my trunk. I'm going to mail it to my sister. She lives far away." + +Sara and Ben felt scared. They thought Mr. Jones was angry. + +"We're sorry, Mr. Jones," Sara said. "We just wanted to see what was inside." + +Mr. Jones smiled. He was not angry. He was kind. + +"It's okay, kids," he said. "There's nothing much inside. Just some old clothes and books and toys. I don't need them anymore. But my sister does. She has a little girl, like you, Sara. And a little boy, like you, Ben. They will be happy to get my trunk." + +Sara and Ben felt curious. They wanted to know more about Mr. Jones's sister and her children. + +"Can we help you mail the trunk?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can," Mr. Jones said. "But first, you have to be careful. The trunk is heavy. It can hurt you if you drop it. You have to hold it with both hands. And you have to walk slowly. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They wanted to be helpful. They lifted the trunk with Mr. Jones. They walked slowly to his car. They put the trunk in the back. They felt proud. + +"Thank you, kids," Mr. Jones said. "You are very good helpers. Do you want to see the letter I wrote to my sister?" + +Sara and Ben said yes. They looked at the letter. It had a picture of Mr. Jones and his sister. They looked happy. + +"Can we write a letter too?" Sara asked. + +"Of course, you can," Mr. Jones said. "I have some paper and crayons in the house. Come on, let's go inside. We can write a letter and draw some pictures. And then we can mail them with the trunk. How does that sound?" + +Sara and Ben said yes. They followed Mr. Jones inside. They wrote a letter and drew some pictures. They said hello to Mr. Jones's sister and her children. They said they hoped they liked the trunk. They said they wanted to be friends. + +Mr. Jones smiled. He was happy. He put the letter and the pictures in an envelope. He wrote the address. He stuck a stamp on it. He said it was ready to mail. + +"Let's go to the post office," he said. "We can mail the trunk and the letter together. And then we can get some ice cream. How does that sound?" + +Sara and Ben said yes. They liked ice cream. They got in the car with Mr. Jones. They drove to the post office. They mailed the trunk and the letter. They got some ice cream. They had a good day. +Sara liked to play with her toy boats in the bathtub. She had a big boat, a small boat, and a yellow boat. She pretended that the bathtub was a harbor, where the boats could park and rest. She made waves with her hands and splashed water on the boats. + +One day, Sara's mom gave her a new toy boat. It was a red boat with a sail. Sara was very happy. She wanted to play with the red boat right away. She ran to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with water. She put all her boats in the harbor. + +But there was a problem. The red boat was too big for the bathtub. It took up a lot of space and pushed the other boats away. Sara tried to move the red boat, but it was hard. She felt sad. She wanted all her boats to fit in the harbor. + +Sara's mom saw that Sara was sad. She asked her what was wrong. Sara told her that the red boat was too big for the bathtub. Sara's mom smiled. She had an idea. She said, "Why don't we take your boats outside and play in the pool? The pool is bigger than the bathtub. There will be more room for your boats in the pool." + +Sara liked the idea. She dried her boats and put them in a basket. She followed her mom outside to the pool. The pool was clean and blue. Sara put her boats in the pool. They floated and sailed in the water. Sara was happy. She said, "Thank you, mom. The pool is a better harbor for my boats. I can increase the number of boats I have and they will all fit." Sara's mom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Sara. I'm glad you like your new boat. Have fun playing with your boats." Sara smiled and played with her boats in the pool. She had a lot of fun. +Lily and Sam went to the big water with Mom and Dad. They saw many fish and boats and birds. Lily and Sam liked to look at the water and the sky. They wanted to see something new and big. + +"Look, look!" Mom said. "There is a whale! A big, big whale!" + +Lily and Sam ran to the edge of the boat. They saw a big, black shape in the water. It was a whale. The whale came up and made a loud sound. It sprayed water from its nose. Lily and Sam laughed and clapped. + +"Hello, whale!" Lily said. "You are amazing!" + +The whale heard Lily and came closer. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth. Lily and Sam were not scared. They saw that the whale was friendly and hungry. + +"Can we feed the whale, Mom?" Sam asked. + +Mom nodded and gave Lily and Sam some fish. Lily and Sam threw the fish to the whale.

They were very happy and dirty. + +"Look, Mommy, we made a cake!" Lily said, holding up a muddy lump. + +Mommy smiled, but she also looked at the clock. "That's very nice, dear, but it's time to wash. We have to go to Grandma's soon." + +Ben and Lily groaned. They did not want to wash. They liked being dirty. They ran away from Mommy and hid behind a bush. + +"Come on, you two, don't be silly. It's not nice to be dirty when you visit Grandma. She will think you don't care about her." Mommy said, looking for them. + +Ben and Lily felt ashamed. They did care about Grandma. They loved her very much. They came out from behind the bush and walked to Mommy. + +"Sorry, Mommy, we were just having fun." Ben said. + +"We will wash now, Mommy, and be clean for Grandma." Lily said. + +Mommy hugged them and took them to the bathroom. She helped them wash their hands, faces and hair. She gave them clean clothes to wear. They looked very nice and clean. + +"Thank you, Mommy, for washing us." Ben and Lily said. + +"You're welcome, my loves. Now let's go to Grandma's. She will be very happy to see you." Mommy said. + +They got in the car and drove to Grandma's. Grandma was waiting for them at the door. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"Hello, Ben and Lily, you look so lovely and clean. I'm so proud of you." Grandma said. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They were glad they washed. They gave Grandma their mud pie as a gift. Grandma laughed and thanked them. She said it was the best cake ever. +Sara was eager to go to the zoo with her mom and dad. She loved to see the animals and hear their sounds. She wanted to see the monkeys most of all. She knew they liked to eat bananas, just like her. + +When they got to the zoo, they saw many animals. They saw lions, elephants, giraffes, and penguins. Sara liked them all, but she kept asking, "Where are the monkeys? When can we see the monkeys?" + +Her mom said, "Soon, Sara, soon. We have a surprise for you. But you have to trust us and be patient." + +Sara wondered what the surprise was. She hoped it was something good. She followed her mom and dad to a big gate. They showed their tickets to a man who smiled and said, "Welcome to the monkey encounter. You are very lucky. You get to feed the monkeys some bananas." + +Sara was so happy. She clapped her hands and said, "Yay! I love bananas and monkeys!" + +The man gave them each a bunch of bananas and led them to a fenced area. There were many monkeys there, swinging from the trees and playing with each other. They saw the people with the bananas and came closer, making noises. + +The man said, "Don't be afraid. They are friendly. Just hold out a banana and they will take it gently. But don't let go until they do. They don't like to share." + +Sara was a little scared, but she trusted her mom and dad. She held out a banana and waited. A small monkey came and grabbed it with its hand. It looked at her with big eyes and peeled the banana. It took a bite and made a happy sound. Sara smiled and felt proud. She fed another monkey and another. She had so much fun. + +She thanked her mom and dad for the surprise. They hugged her and said, "We're glad you enjoyed it. You were very brave and kind. We love you, Sara." + +Sara said, "I love you too. And I love bananas and monkeys!" +Sara was a poor girl who lived with her mom in a small house. They did not have much to eat or wear, but they loved each other very much. Sara liked to read books, but she only had a few old ones on a shelf in her room. + +One day, Sara saw a big truck outside her house. It was full of boxes with new books for the library. Sara ran to the truck and asked the man, "Can I have a book, please?" + +The man smiled and said, "Sure, little girl. You can have one book. But you have to give it back when you are done, okay?" + +Sara nodded and thanked the man. She looked at the boxes and picked one that had a picture of a princess on the cover. She was so happy that she hugged the book and ran back to her house. + +She showed the book to her mom and said, "Look, mom, I have a new book! The man gave it to me. He said I have to give it back, but I can read it first." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "That's very nice of him. And it's very nice of you to share the book with the library. You are a good girl, Sara. Now, let's read the book together, shall we?" + +Sara and her mom sat on the bed and opened the book. They read about the princess and her adventures.

They saw a lot of flowers, birds and bugs. They liked to look at them and learn their names. + +"Look, mom, a red ant!" Lily said, pointing at a tiny creature on the ground. + +"Yes, that's an ant. Ants are very busy and smart. They work together and make homes under the ground," mom said. + +"Can I touch it?" Tom asked. + +"No, Tom, ants can bite. They don't like it when you bother them. They might think you are a big monster," mom said. + +"Okay, mom, I won't touch it. But it is very charming. It has a shiny back and six legs. And it can carry things bigger than itself," Tom said. + +"Yes, it is charming. But you know what is more charming? You and Lily. You are my sweet and clever children. And you can do many things that ants can't, like hug and sing and draw," mom said. + +She hugged them and kissed their cheeks. Lily and Tom smiled and hugged her back. + +"I love you, mom. You are the best mom in the world," they said. + +"I love you too, my darlings. You are the best children in the world," mom said. + +They continued to enjoy the park and the nature.

His name is Sunny and he ran away from me. Give him back!" The boy tried to grab the puppy from Lily, but Lily held on tight. She said, "No, he is my puppy! I found him and he likes me more. Go away!" + +The puppy was scared and confused. He did not like the shouting and the pulling. He barked and squirmed and tried to get free. He wanted to go back to his boy, who was his friend and his family. + +A lady saw the fight and came to help. She said, "Stop, stop, stop! You are hurting the puppy and making him sad. He is not a toy, he is a living thing. He has feelings and needs. He belongs to the boy who loves him and takes care of him. Lily, you cannot keep him. You have to let him go." + +Lily looked at the lady, then at the boy, then at the puppy. She saw the tears in the boy's eyes and the fear in the puppy's eyes. She felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was selfish and mean. I just wanted a puppy so much. But I see that he is not mine. He is yours. Here, take him. And please forgive me." + +The boy smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are very brave and kind. I forgive you. And I'm sorry too. I should have watched him better. He is very curious and likes to explore. But he always comes back to me. He is my best friend. Do you want to pet him?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. He is very soft and sweet. Can I be your friend too?" + +The boy said, "Of course. You can be my friend. And Sunny's friend too. Come on, let's play together." + +The lady said, "That's wonderful.

She said, "Oh, Sara, that is not water. That is vinegar. It is for cleaning, not for drinking. I am sorry. I should have put it away." + +She took the glass from Sara and gave her a hug. She said, "Are you okay? Do you want some juice instead? Juice is sweet and yummy. It will make you feel better." + +Sara nodded. She was okay. She wanted some juice.

Maybe we can play something else. Do you want to play with my cars?" Tim says. He shows her his toy cars. They are shiny and colorful. + +"Yes, please. I like cars. Thank you, Tim. You are a good friend," Jen says. She smiles and takes a car. They play with the cars on the grass. They forget about the box and the nails. They have fun. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy trains in the living room. They liked to make them go fast and make noises like choo-choo.

Lily said, blowing on her train. + +"No, mine has more steam!" Tom said, blowing harder on his train. + +They both blew and blew until their faces were red and their trains were wet. They made a lot of noise and steam. + +Their mom came into the living room and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You are making too much noise and steam. You are not permitted to blow on your trains like that. You will ruin them and make the carpet wet." + +"Sorry, mom," Lily and Tom said. They felt bad for making their mom angry. + +"Please play with your trains nicely and quietly," mom said. "Or I will have to take them away." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They did not want to lose their trains. They loved their trains. + +They played with their trains more gently and quietly. They still had fun, but they did not blow on them anymore. They learned to respect their mom's rules and their toys. +Lily and Ben were playing a game with cards. They had to match the cards with the same picture. Lily was very good at the game.

"I am going to win the game!" + +Ben felt miserable. He did not like to lose. He wanted to win the game too. He looked at his cards and tried to find a match. But he could not see any. + +"That's not fair, Lily!" Ben said. "You always win the game! You never let me win!" + +Lily frowned. She did not like Ben's tone. She thought he was being rude. She liked to win the game, but she also liked to play with Ben. She did not want him to be unhappy. + +"Ben, it's just a game," Lily said. "It does not matter who wins or loses. We can still have fun and be friends." + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw that she was not mean. She was just good at the game. He felt a little better. He smiled at Lily. + +"OK, Lily, you are right," Ben said. "It's just a game. We can still have fun and be friends. But can we play a different game next time? Maybe one that I am good at too?" + +Lily nodded. She agreed to play a different game next time. She shuffled the cards and put them back in the box. She gave Ben a hug. + +"Sure, Ben, we can play a different game next time," Lily said. "But you know what? You are already good at something very important. You are good at being my friend. And that is the best thing to win." + +Ben hugged Lily back. He felt happy. He did not care about the game anymore. He cared about Lily. He was glad that she was his friend. And he thought that was the best thing to win too. +Lila was a humble dog who loved her owner, Sam. She always did what he said and never barked too loud. Sam was very kind to Lila and gave her food, water, and hugs every day. + +One day, Sam took Lila to the park, where there were many other dogs and people. Lila was happy to see new things and smell new smells. She saw a big ball on the grass and wanted to play with it. She ran towards the ball, wagging her tail. + +But when she got close, she saw that the ball belonged to another dog, a big and mean one. The other dog growled at Lila and showed his teeth. He did not want to share the ball. Lila was scared and stopped running. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Sam said to the other dog's owner, who was sitting on a bench. "Can't you teach your dog to share?" + +The other owner shrugged and said, "He's just a dog. He doesn't know any better." + +Sam was angry and said, "Well, he should. Sharing is good. Lila is a good dog. She knows how to share." + +He picked up Lila and hugged her. Lila licked his face and felt safe. She was glad that Sam was her owner. + +Sam walked away from the other owner and the mean dog. He saw a swing and a slide in the park. He put Lila down and said, "Do you want to have some fun, Lila?" + +Lila barked and nodded. She followed Sam to the swing and the slide. Sam pushed her on the swing and helped her go down the slide. Lila felt the wind in her fur and the sun on her back. She was very happy. + +She jumped on the swing and the slide, and Sam jumped with her. They laughed and played together. Lila was a humble dog, but she was also a lucky dog. She had the best owner in the world. +Lily was sick and had to go to the hospital. She did not like the hospital. It was big and loud and had many people. She missed her home and her toys and her cat. She had to stay in a bed with a needle in her arm and a machine that beeped. + +One night, she had a dream. In her dream, she was in a garden with many flowers and butterflies. She saw her cat, Snowy, and ran to hug him. He purred and licked her face. She was happy and felt no pain. + +"Hello, Lily," a voice said. She looked up and saw a fairy. The fairy had wings and a dress and a wand. She smiled and flew to Lily. "I am here to make your wish come true. What do you wish for?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She wished for many things. She wished to go home, to play with her friends, to eat ice cream, to ride a bike. But she knew that some wishes were hard to make. She did not want to ask for something too big or too cheap. + +"I wish to get better," she said. "I wish to be healthy and strong." + +The fairy nodded. "That is a good wish, Lily. A very good wish. I will help you. But you have to help me too. You have to be brave and patient and listen to the doctors and nurses. They are here to help you too. Can you do that?" + +Lily nodded. She felt a warm glow in her heart. She felt hopeful and grateful. She thanked the fairy and hugged Snowy. The fairy waved her wand and sprinkled some dust on Lily. "Sleep well, Lily. I will see you again." + +Lily woke up the next morning. She felt better. She saw her mom and dad by her bed. They smiled and kissed her. They told her that the doctors said she was getting better. They brought her a gift. It was a book with fairy tales. Lily smiled and hugged them. She opened the book and saw a picture of a fairy. She felt a wink in her eye. She knew it was her fairy. She whispered, "Thank you." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today is their birthday. They have a big cake with four candles. One candle for each year and one for good luck. + +"Can we blow the candles now?" Ben asks. He is excited. + +"Not yet," Mom says. "We have to sing happy birthday first. And be careful with the candles. They are hot and can burn you." + +Mom and Dad start to sing. Anna and Ben join them. They clap their hands and smile. They love their cake. It is chocolate with cream and sprinkles. + +"Okay, now you can blow the candles," Mom says. "But sit down first. And make a wish." + +Anna and Ben sit down on their chairs. They close their eyes and think of a wish. They want a new bike to share. They open their eyes and blow the candles together. The candles go out with a puff. + +"Yay, we did it!" Anna says. + +"Good job, twins!" Dad says. "Now you can have some cake. But be careful. It is still warm." + +Mom cuts the cake and gives them each a big slice. Anna and Ben eat their cake with a spoon. They lick their lips and fingers. It is delicious. + +"Happy birthday, Anna and Ben!" Mom and Dad say. They hug and kiss them. + +"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Anna and Ben say. They are happy. They have a great birthday. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings and the slide. They saw a big hill with a lot of leaves. They wanted to roll down the hill. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "It will be fun!" + +"OK, Tom!" Lily said. "But you go first!" + +Tom ran to the hill and lay down on the leaves. He felt the wind on his face. He smiled and said, "Push me, Lily!" + +Lily pushed Tom and he rolled down the hill. He laughed and shouted, "Whee!" + +Lily watched Tom and wanted to try too. She ran to the hill and lay down on the leaves. She looked at Tom and said, "Push me, Tom!" + +Tom pushed Lily and she rolled down the hill. She screamed and cried, "Stop!" + +Tom was surprised and ran to Lily. He saw that she was scared and hurt. She had a scratch on her knee and a leaf in her hair. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily! Are you OK?" + +Lily sniffed and said, "No, Tom! I don't like the hill. It is too fast and too bumpy. I want to go home!" + +Tom hugged Lily and said, "It's OK, Lily. I will help you. Let's go to Mom and Dad. They will make you feel better." + +Tom and Lily walked to their parents. They told them what happened. Mom and Dad kissed Lily's knee and brushed the leaf off her hair. They said, "Don't worry, Lily. It was just a bad day. You are brave and strong. You can try the hill again another day." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. And thank you, Tom. You are a good brother." + +Tom smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good sister." + +They hugged and went home. They had a good night. They dreamed of the park and the hill. They were not scared anymore. +Lily and Tom were playing with bricks in the yard. They liked to build towers and houses with the bricks. Lily had a large brick that was red and shiny. She wanted to put it on top of her tower. + +"Look, Tom, I have a large brick!" Lily said. "It is very pretty and strong. Can I put it on my tower?" + +Tom looked at Lily's brick. He wanted it for his house. He thought it would make a good door. He did not want to accept Lily's brick. + +"No, Lily, you cannot put it on your tower," Tom said. "I need it for my house. Give it to me!" + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not want to give Tom her brick. She liked it too much. She held it tight in her hands. + +"No, Tom, you cannot have it!" Lily said. "It is my brick. I found it first. You have many bricks for your house. Let me have this one!" + +Tom and Lily started to fight over the brick. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not listen to each other. They did not share. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the yard. She saw Tom and Lily fighting over the brick. She was not happy. + +"Tom, Lily, stop fighting!" Mom said. "What is going on here? Why are you not playing nicely?" + +Tom and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at Mom. They felt ashamed. + +"Mom, we are sorry," Tom and Lily said. "We both wanted this brick. It is large and pretty and strong. We did not want to accept the other's idea. We did not want to share." + +Mom nodded. She understood. She took the brick from them and held it in her hands. + +"I see," Mom said. "This is a nice brick. But it is not worth fighting over. You have many other bricks to play with. You can build many things with them. But you cannot build friendship with bricks. You need to accept each other's feelings and ideas. You need to share and take turns. That is how you build friendship." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They realized Mom was right. They felt sorry for hurting each other. They smiled and hugged. + +"Mom, you are right," Tom and Lily said. "We are sorry. We want to be friends. We want to accept each other. We want to share and take turns. Can we have the brick back?" + +Mom smiled and gave them the brick back. + +"Of course you can," Mom said. "But only if you promise to play nicely with it. And with each other." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They promised. They thanked Mom and ran back to their bricks. They decided to build something together with the large brick. They were happy. They were friends. +Lila and Ben were on the same team for the game. They had to poke the balloons with a stick and make them pop. Lila was gifted at poking balloons. She could pop them very fast and make loud noises. Ben was not so good at poking balloons. He was scared of the noises and the stick. + +"Come on, Ben, poke the balloons!" Lila said. "We have to win the game!" + +"I don't want to poke the balloons," Ben said. "They are too scary. They make me jump." + +Lila was angry with Ben. She wanted to win the game and get a prize. She poked more balloons and tried to make Ben poke some too. But Ben just hid behind her and shook his head. + +Then, something happened. A big balloon popped right next to Lila and made a very loud noise. Lila was startled and dropped her stick. She started to cry. Ben saw Lila crying and felt sorry for her. He picked up the stick and poked a balloon. It popped and made a noise, but Ben did not jump. He poked another balloon and another. He was not scared anymore. He wanted to make Lila happy. + +"Look, Lila, I'm poking the balloons!" Ben said. "We can win the game!" + +Lila stopped crying and looked at Ben. She saw him poking the balloons and smiling. She smiled too. She picked up her stick and joined him. They poked the balloons together and had fun. They won the game and got a prize. They were happy. They were a good team. +Lila and Ben were twins who loved to play with their toy animals. They had a big box full of different kinds of animals, like lions, elephants, giraffes, and monkeys. They liked to pretend that they were in the jungle or the savanna, and make noises and stories with their animals. + +One day, they found a new toy in the box. It was a green and shiny animal with a long tail and a big mouth. It had small bumps on its skin, like a scale. Lila and Ben did not know what it was, but they thought it looked incredible. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lila said, holding the green animal. "What is it?" + +"I don't know," Ben said, touching the scale. "Maybe it's a dragon!" + +"A dragon?" Lila said, excited. "That's so cool! Let's play with it!" + +They decided to make a new story with the dragon. They put some of their other animals in a circle, and pretended that they were scared of the dragon. They made the dragon roar and breathe fire, and chase the other animals around. + +But then, something happened. The dragon's mouth opened, and a real flame came out. Lila and Ben were shocked. They dropped the dragon, and ran away from the box. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" they screamed. "Help! The dragon is real!" + +Their parents heard their cries, and came to their room. They saw the smoke and the fire, and quickly grabbed a blanket and a bucket of water. They put out the fire, and settled the twins down. + +"Are you okay?" their mom asked, hugging them. + +"Yes, we're okay," Lila said, sobbing. + +"What happened?" their dad asked, looking at the burnt box and the green animal. + +"We found a dragon in the box," Ben said, pointing. "It breathed fire and burned everything!" + +Their parents looked at each other, confused. They picked up the green animal, and examined it. It had a tag on its tail, that said: "Battery-operated toy crocodile. Press the button to activate flame effect. Caution: do not use near flammable materials." + +"Oh, no," their mom said, shaking her head. "This was a gift from your uncle Bob. He always sends you the most crazy toys. He must have forgotten to tell us about this one." + +"I'm sorry, mommy," Lila said, feeling guilty. "We didn't know it was a crocodile. We thought it was a dragon." + +"It's okay, sweetie," their mom said, smiling. "It was an honest mistake. But next time, please be careful with your toys. And don't play with fire." + +They nodded, and hugged their parents. They learned their lesson, and never played with the crocodile again. They still loved their toy animals, but they preferred the ones that did not breathe fire. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big tree with many apples. They wanted to pick some apples and eat them. + +"Look, Lily, apples!" Tom said. "Let's get some!" + +They ran to the tree and tried to reach the apples. But the apples were too high. They could not get them. + +"Maybe we can climb the tree," Lily said. "Then we can get the apples." + +Tom nodded. He put his foot on a branch and tried to climb. But the branch was too thin. It bent and shook. Tom fell down and hurt his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "My knee hurts!" + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She saw a man walking by. The man had a hat and a beard. He looked kind and old. + +"Excuse me, sir," Lily said. "Can you help us? We want some apples, but we can't reach them." + +The man stopped and smiled. He walked to the tree and looked at the apples. He saw a long stick on the ground. He picked up the stick and used it to hit the apples. The apples fell down and rolled to Tom and Lily. + +"Here you go, children," the man said. "You can have these apples. They are ripe and sweet." + +"Thank you, sir," Tom and Lily said. They picked up the apples and bit them. They were juicy and delicious. + +The man sat down on a bench and watched them. He said, "You know, children, sometimes you don't have to climb the tree to get the apples. Sometimes you just have to look for another way. That is wisdom." + +"What is wisdom?" Tom asked. + +"Wisdom is knowing what to do and how to do it," the man said. "Wisdom is learning from your mistakes and from others. Wisdom is being kind and helpful." + +"Wow, wisdom sounds good," Lily said. "How can we get wisdom?" + +The man chuckled. He said, "Wisdom is not something you can get easily. You have to grow and live and learn. You have to listen and ask and think. You have to yield to the truth and to the good. You have to be brave and humble." + +"Yield?" Tom asked. + +"Yield means to let go and to follow," the man said. "Sometimes you have to yield to someone who knows more than you. Sometimes you have to yield to someone who needs more than you. Sometimes you have to yield to your own heart and do what is right." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood a little. They wanted to be wise. They said, "Thank you, sir, for the apples and for the wisdom. You are very nice and smart." + +The man smiled. He said, "You are very welcome, children. You are very sweet and curious. I hope you enjoy the apples and the park. And I hope you always look for wisdom. Wisdom is always available, if you seek it." +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They shared their toys and helped each other. They trusted each other a lot. + +One day, it was Tom's birthday. Lily wanted to give him a special gift. She made a card with crayons and stickers. She also found a toy car that Tom liked in her closet. She wrapped the card and the car in colorful paper. + +She went to Tom's house with her mom. She was very enthusiastic to see Tom and give him her gift. She knocked on the door and Tom opened it. He was happy to see Lily and invited her in. + +Lily gave Tom her gift and said, "Happy birthday, Tom! I made this for you. I hope you like it." Tom smiled and thanked Lily. He opened the gift and saw the card and the car. He was very surprised and excited. He hugged Lily and said, "Wow, Lily, this is the best gift ever! You are so kind and thoughtful. I love it. Thank you so much." + +Tom and Lily played with the car and the card. They had a lot of fun. They also ate cake and ice cream. They were very happy. They learned that giving and receiving gifts is a way to show love and friendship. They also learned that trusting each other is important for best friends. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a huge bird in the sky. It is white and has a long neck. Tom and Lily want to see the bird up close. + +"Let's race to the bird!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Lily says. + +They run as fast as they can. They pass the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They get closer and closer to the bird. But the bird sees them and flies away. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Lily say. + +They are sad. They stop running and sit on the grass. They are tired and hungry. + +"Look!" Lily says. + +She points to a bench. On the bench, there is a bag. Inside the bag, there is a box. Inside the box, there is rice. The rice smells good. + +"Maybe someone left it for us," Tom says. + +"Maybe," Lily says. + +They go to the bench and open the box. They share the rice. They eat and eat. The rice fills their tummies. + +"Yum!" Tom and Lily say. + +They are happy. They smile and hug. They thank the bird for leading them to the rice. They think the bird is nice. They hope to see the bird again. +Tom and Lily were new at school. They moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Mom said they had to unpack their uniforms first. They needed them for school tomorrow. + +"What is a uniform?" Lily asked. She was only three years old. She did not know many words. + +"A uniform is a special kind of clothes. You wear it to show you belong to a group. Like your school," Mom explained. + +Tom was five years old. He knew what a uniform was. He saw it in a picture. It was a blue shirt and a gray skirt or pants. He did not like it. He liked his old clothes better. They were colorful and comfortable. + +"I don't want to wear a uniform. I want to wear my old clothes," Tom said. + +"Sorry, Tom. You have to wear a uniform. It is the rule of your school. Everyone wears the same clothes. It makes you look neat and smart," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily unpacked their uniforms. They put them on their beds. They looked at them. They did not look neat and smart. They looked boring and stiff. + +"Maybe we can make them more fun. We can add some stickers or pins or ribbons," Lily suggested. + +"No, Lily. We can't do that. We have to wear them as they are. No changes. No extras. That is also the rule of your school," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily sighed. They did not like the rule. They did not like the uniform. They missed their old clothes. They hoped their new school would be more fun than their new clothes. +Lily loved to dance. She danced in the morning, she danced in the afternoon, she danced at night. She danced with her dolls, she danced with her dog, she danced with her mom and dad. She danced when she was happy, she danced when she was sad, she danced when she was bored. + +One day, Lily's mom and dad said they were going to a party. They said they would be back soon. They said they would bring her a surprise. Lily was curious. She wondered what the surprise was. She hoped it was something fun. + +Lily stayed with her grandma, who was very nice. Grandma read her stories, played with her puzzles, and made her cookies. But Lily still wanted to dance. She asked grandma if she could dance in the living room. Grandma said yes, but she had to be careful. She said there was a big bottle of wine on the table. She said it was for mom and dad. She said it was very special and very expensive. She said Lily should not touch it or break it. + +Lily nodded. She said she would be careful. She put on her favorite music and started to dance. She twirled, she jumped, she spun. She felt happy and free. She did not see the wine bottle on the table. She did not see how it wobbled and shook. She did not see how it fell and crashed. + +Grandma heard the noise and ran to the living room. She saw the wine bottle broken on the floor. She saw the red wine spilled on the carpet. She saw Lily standing still, with a scared and sorry face. Grandma was angry and sad. She yelled at Lily. She said she was naughty and careless. She said she ruined the wine and the carpet. She said mom and dad would be very upset. + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to break the wine bottle. She did not mean to make grandma angry and sad. She did not mean to ruin the surprise for mom and dad. She started to cry. She said she was sorry. She said she just wanted to dance. She said she loved mom and dad. + +Grandma saw Lily crying. She felt sorry too. She hugged Lily. She said she was sorry for yelling. She said she loved Lily. She said mom and dad loved Lily too. She said they would understand. She said they would forgive her. She said they would still have a surprise for her. + +Lily stopped crying. She hugged grandma back. She said she was sorry for breaking the wine bottle. She said she loved grandma. She said she hoped mom and dad would not be mad. She said she still wanted to dance. + +Grandma smiled. She said they could still dance. She said they could dance in the kitchen. She said there was no wine bottle there. She said there was something else. She said it was bright and shiny and sweet. She said it was a cake. She said it was for Lily. She said it was her surprise. + +Lily's eyes lit up. She said she loved cake. She said it was the best surprise ever. She said thank you to grandma. She said she was happy. She ran to the kitchen. She saw the cake. It was bright and shiny and sweet. It had candles and sprinkles and her name on it. It was beautiful. + +Grandma followed her. She said it was Lily's birthday. She said she wanted to celebrate with her. She said she was proud of her. She said she was special. She lit the candles. She sang happy birthday. She told Lily to make a wish and blow out the candles. + +Lily smiled. She made a wish. She wished for mom and dad to come home soon. She wished for them to be happy. She wished for them to love her and the cake. She wished for them to dance with her and grandma. She blew out the candles. She clapped her hands. She cut the cake. She shared it with grandma. She ate it with joy. She danced with delight. She forgot about the wine bottle. She remembered the cake. She was happy. +Tom likes to walk in the park with his mom. He likes to see the birds, the flowers and the trees. He also likes to look for lizards. Lizards are small and green and have long tails. They can run very fast and hide under rocks. + +One day, Tom sees a lizard on the path. He wants to catch it and touch it. He runs after the lizard, but the lizard runs away. Tom follows the lizard, but he cannot catch it. He feels sad and angry. He wants the lizard to be his friend. + +Mom sees Tom and says, "Tom, you have to be patient. Lizards are shy and scared of people. If you want to see them, you have to be quiet and still. Then they might come out and say hello." + +Tom listens to mom and stops running. He sits on the grass and waits. He is patient. He does not make any noise. He watches the lizard. The lizard watches him. After a while, the lizard comes out from under a rock. It walks slowly towards Tom. It stops near his hand. Tom smiles. He gently touches the lizard. The lizard does not run away. It feels warm and smooth. Tom says, "Hello, lizard. You are my friend." The lizard nods. Mom smiles. She is proud of Tom. He learned to be patient. +Lily wanted to eat her lunch. She was very hungry and impatient. She saw her mom in the kitchen, making a dish with cheese and noodles. Lily liked cheese and noodles. She ran to her mom and said, "I want cheese and noodles now!" + +Her mom looked at her and said, "Lily, you have to wait. The dish is not ready yet. It is still hot in the oven. You can have some fruit or crackers while you wait." + +Lily did not want fruit or crackers. She wanted cheese and noodles. She stamped her feet and said, "No, no, no! I want cheese and noodles now! Give me cheese and noodles now!" + +Her mom was not happy. She said, "Lily, you are being rude and demanding. You have to be patient and polite. If you keep yelling, you will not get any cheese and noodles at all." + +Lily did not listen. She kept yelling and crying. She tried to grab the dish from the oven. She did not see the oven mitts on her mom's hands. She burned her fingers on the hot dish. She screamed and dropped the dish. The dish broke on the floor. The cheese and noodles spilled everywhere. + +Lily was hurt and sad. Her mom was angry and worried. She took Lily to the sink and ran cold water over her fingers. She said, "Lily, look what you did. You hurt yourself and made a big mess. You wasted the cheese and noodles. Now no one can eat them. You have to say sorry and help me clean up." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was bad. I will help you clean up." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, too, Lily. I love you. But you have to learn to be patient and respectful. Next time, you have to wait and ask nicely." + +Lily nodded and said, "I love you, too, mom. I will try to be better next time." + +They cleaned up the mess together. But they had no cheese and noodles for lunch. They had to eat bread and soup instead. Lily did not like bread and soup. She wished she had been patient and polite. She learned a hard lesson. +Sam was hungry. He wanted to eat something yummy. He looked in the kitchen. He saw a big cake on the table. It had white and pink icing. It had letters on it. Sam could not read the letters, but he liked how they looked. + +He climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. He broke off a piece of the letter A. He put it in his mouth. He tasted it. It was sweet and soft. He liked it. He smiled. + +"Sam, what are you doing?" Mom came into the kitchen. She saw Sam with the cake. She was not happy. She took the cake away from Sam. She put it back on the table. + +"Sam, this cake is not for you. This cake is for your sister. It is her birthday. The letters say 'Happy Birthday Anna'. You can not eat her cake. That is not nice." + +Sam felt sad. He did not know it was Anna's cake. He did not want to make Mom or Anna angry. He said sorry to Mom. He said sorry to Anna. He gave Anna a hug. + +Mom smiled. She was not angry anymore. She said it was okay. She said she had another cake for Sam. She showed him a small cake. It had a candle on it. It had a letter S on it. It was for Sam. + +Sam was happy. He thanked Mom. He blew out the candle. He tasted the cake. It was yummy. He shared it with Anna. They both ate cake. They both had fun. They both said 'Happy Birthday'. +Anna likes to dance. She dances in her room, in the park, and in the water. She loves the water. She swims with the fish and the turtles. They are her friends. + +One day, Anna goes to the reef. The reef is a big place with many colors and shapes. Anna sees coral, seaweed, and shells. She dances with the fish and the turtles. They are happy. + +But then, Anna sees a bad thing. It is a big fish with sharp teeth. It is a shark. The shark is hungry. It wants to eat the fish and the turtles. It chases them. They are scared. + +Anna is brave. She does not want the shark to hurt her friends. She dances in front of the shark. She makes funny faces and noises. She splashes the water. She tries to make the shark go away. + +The shark is confused. It does not like Anna's dance. It does not think she is food. It thinks she is silly. It gets bored. It swims away. Anna is happy. She dances with the fish and the turtles. They are safe. They thank her. She is their hero. +Sam and Lily were big fans of soccer.

Sam and Lily were very happy and excited. They thanked their dad and hugged him. + +They got ready to go to the stadium. They put on their team shirts and hats. They packed some snacks and drinks. They took the bus with their dad. They saw many other people wearing the same colors as them. They felt like they belonged to a big family. + +They arrived at the stadium. It was huge and loud. They could hear the crowd chanting and singing. They followed their dad to their seats. They had a good view of the field. They saw the players warming up. They clapped and waved at them.

They booed every time the other team fouled. They ate their snacks and drank their drinks. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, something bad happened. One of the players from the other team got angry. He kicked the ball very hard and it flew into the stands. It hit Sam in the face. Sam cried out in pain. He felt blood coming out of his nose. He felt dizzy and scared. Lily screamed and hugged him. Their dad rushed to help him. He asked for a first aid kit. He requested to see a doctor. He was very worried. + +The game stopped. The crowd was silent. The player who kicked the ball looked sorry. He apologized to Sam and his dad. He said he didn't mean to hurt him. He said he was sorry. But it was too late. Sam was hurt. He had to go to the hospital. He had to miss the rest of the game. He had to miss the next day of school. He had a disgusting bruise on his face. He hated soccer. He hated the stadium.

"Give it back!" + +Lila was scared of the dog. She hugged her teddy bear and hid behind the castle. She hoped the dog would go away. + +But the dog did not go away.

But when she got to the bench, Lily was gone. Someone had taken her. Sara cried and cried. She was sorry. She wished she had not been selfish. She wished she had shared Lily with the boy.

I want pizza and cookies and ice cream." + +Mommy sighed. She knew Tommy was stubborn and did not like to try new things. She said, "Tommy, you have to eat your broccoli. It's not yucky or green or bad. It's delicious and healthy and green. You can have pizza and cookies and ice cream later, but only if you eat your broccoli. It's a deal." + +Tommy thought about it.

Before going off to play, Tommy gave Mommy a big hug. +Once upon a time there was a large lake in the forest. Every day lots of animals would come to the lake to drink its cool water. One day, a huge boot came and made its way to the lake. It was pouring something into the water. All the animals had to run away, but one brave little rabbit stayed to watch what was happening. The boot kept pouring and pouring until the water was all gone. When the boot was done pouring, it left a big brown spot on the ground with a big hole in it. The little rabbit hopped over to the spot and saw that the boot had left its heel behind. Suddenly, the rabbit's foot got stuck in the heel. The rabbit was scared and tried to get free but the heel was too large and deep. The poor little rabbit was stuck in the heel forever. +Once upon a time there were two friends, Sam and Abi. Whenever Sam found himself in trouble he knew Abi had his back. + +One day Sam dropped his wallet in the river and it sunk to the bottom. He sighed, feeling very sad. + +Abi was not ready to give up. He took off his shoes and jumped in. The water was rough, but Abi was brave. + +He dove deep and soon found the wallet. “Sam, I’ve got it!†he shouted. + +Sam grinned with joy, “Let’s reverse it back to me!â€. + +So Abi swam back with the wallet and the two friends hugged with happiness. +Once upon a time, there were two little friends who loved to play in the park. One was called Jack and the other one was called Jill. +Jack had a rod and Jill was very jealous of it. +Jack said, "you can play with it if you want!" +But Jill said, "No I can't, it's too small for me." +Jack felt sorry for Jill and said, "We can share it." +Jill smiled and said, "Ok, I would like that." + +The two friends had lots of fun playing together with Jack's rod. But then something terrible happened. The rod was stuck in a tree and neither of them could get it out. + +Jack said, "Oh no! We must suffer!"

Then she picked up all the stones in the sack and went to look for someone to give them to. She went to her father who was busy in the garden, but he didn't recognize the stones. + +Frustrated, Maggie went around to her neighbour. She showed the stones to her neighbour and asked if he wanted them. He was so happy and said, "I recognize these stones, they are the same stones I was searching for when I was building my house. Thank you, Maggie!" + +Maggie was so happy that her neighbour had recognized the stones and thanked her.

He was determined to prove that he was strong and fit enough for the challenge. Unfortunately, the little fish didn't know that a big, scary shark was waiting for him in the depths. + +As the fish kept swimming, the shark noticed him and started to swim closer. The little fish was panicking and gritting his teeth. He couldn't turn back now or else he would look scared in front of his friends. + +Just then, he saw a big rock in front of him and he quickly hid behind it. The shark kept swimming in circles, but the brave little fish didn't move a muscle. Eventually, the shark got bored and swam away. + +The little fish couldn't reach the deep ocean but he was proud of himself for being brave.
