It was an emergency! +Katie was scared and started to cry. +Joe comforted her and said, "It's ok. We can stay here and remain safe. All we need to do is wait for the emergency to be over." + +Katie was still quite scared, but she agreed to remain with Joe. +They waited until the siren eventually stopped and the emergency ended. +Katie and Joe were so relieved. They could continue their day and have lots more fun. + +From that day on, Katie was not so scared anymore.

He was curious, so he wanted to guess what it was. He walked up to it and picked it up. + +Suddenly, a quiet voice came from behind him, “What do you think it is?†+ +The boy turned around and saw a man wearing a big hat. He was scared, so he ran away as fast as he could. + +The man chased after the boy, and they ran around the park until the boy was out of breath. The boy tried to call for help, but no one could hear him. + +The man finally caught up to the boy and took the strip away.

He never knew what kind of strip it was. +Once there was a little boy named Peter. He wanted to learn how to ride his bike. He was very proud. + +Peter asked his dad to teach him.

I know you can do it!" + +Peter tried again, and this time he stayed on the bike. He felt a bump in his knee, but he continued to cycle. + +"I did it!" he shouted with a big grin on his face. + +His dad said, "You did it! You should be proud of yourself. Let me put a bandage on your knee". + +Peter said, "Aww. That's ok. I don't need a bandage. I'm proud that I learned how to ride my bike". + +His dad smiled and said, "That's true, and now you know how to ride, which means you should go out and practice. That's the only way you'll get better!" + +So Peter took his dad's advice and kept on riding until he was a pro. He was proud of himself and happy that he had achieved his goal. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Jack. He was 3 years old and always very active.

Tom wanted to join in the game and began taking Peter’s feathers. Peter called out to him, “No Tom! Those are mine and I need to count them!†+Tom stopped and looked at Peter with sad eyes. He said, “I just want to help you count, why can’t I join in?†+ +Peter thought for a minute and smiled. He said, “Ok, come with me and you can count the different textures. Then we can add them up together and see who can count the most!†+ +Tom was delighted and the two boys went off on their adventure, counting the different textures on the way. They played together until the sun began to set and then ran back home to show their parents what they had done. +Rosa was ready to march. She packed her box of treasures that she had been collecting and tied the box securely shut. She said goodbye to her mom and then marched off to her best friend Bella's house. + +"Hello!"

They never had to worry again. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a very pretty case. It was not like any other cases. This case was full of magical surprises!

She thanked the fairy and started to explore each item. Every item was so pretty and each one made the little girl smile.

When the food was ready, the lion asked the rabbit, "Can I have a taste?" The rabbit shook his head sadly and said, "No, this food is for me and my family." + +The lion was disappointed, but he vowed to keep looking for food. He knew if he waited long enough he would find something to eat. And sure enough, the very next day, the lion found a big ant hill. The ant hill was packed full of tasty food. The lion ate until he was full. + +The rabbit and lion had taught each other a valuable lesson: that with patience and resilience, anything can be achieved! +Jill hopped up the hill and she spotted a glittery yellow box. She gasped and opened the box excitedly. Inside the box was a funny creature.

Her mother replied, "Honey, sometimes it's important to know when you can't open something, even if you really want to." + +Jane understood what her mother meant and was a little disappointed. She was eager to know what was behind the door. She looked around the yard for something else to do and saw a tree with lots of ripe, juicy apples. She smiled and picked one up to enjoy. + +Jane learned a valuable lesson that day: although it's exciting to explore, it's important to know when a certain thing or situation is off-limits. Being curious and friendly is great, but respect and safety come first. +Once upon a time there was a boy called Sam. He lived by the beach and wanted to go sailing.

"This is so beautiful!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, I think this is a special place with lots of peace." + +They enjoyed the moment until the butterfly fluttered away. The peace that the butterfly had revealed stayed with them for the rest of their picnic in the woods. +Once upon a time there was a little boy who wanted to take a bath. He ran to the bathroom and exclaimed, "I am going to take a bath with the alligator!" + +His mom laughed and said, "We don't have an alligator in the tub, but we can put something else in there with you." + +So, his mom filled the tub with warm, clean water. She put in the alligator toy and said, "Now splash around and have fun!" + +The little boy splashed and played. He saw something else in the water and asked, "What is that?" His mom said, "It's bubbles. It will change the water." + +The little boy watched as the bubbles filled the tub. He giggled and said, "Mom, the alligator is swimming in the bubbles!" + +His mom smiled and said, "Yes, it sure is. Now make sure you are clean before you get out!" +Once upon a time there was a green frog who loved to drink from the pond. Every day he would sit at the edge of the pond and stick out his lip to sip the water. + +One day, the frog noticed another animal drinking from the pond. It was a hedgehog. The hedgehog had big spines that were poking the frog. The frog asked the hedgehog, "Why do you drink like that? It's so prickly!" + +The hedgehog said he was too thirsty to care. + +The frog thought for a moment and then said, "Let's share the pond together. If we take turns, there won't be any spikes!" + +The hedgehog understood and agreed. After that, they both enjoyed drinking from the pond together. + +The moral of the story is that it's always better to share than can cause pain. +Once upon a time, there was a wild penguin. He was walking along the beach and saw an old fisherman sitting in a boat. The penguin had never seen a boat before and wanted to know more about it. + +The penguin waddled up to the boat and asked the fisherman, "What is this?" + +The fisherman replied, "It's a boat. I use it to go out fishing every day." + +The penguin was very excited and said, "Can I attach to the boat? I want to go fishing too!" + +The old fisherman laughed and said, "No, you can't attach to the boat. It's too small and only I can fit." + +The wild penguin was disappointed but thanked the fisherman anyway. He took one last look at the boat then waddled away. + +The end! +Once upon a time, there was a persistent little girl who wanted to do something really special. She didn't know what to do, so she went to the kitchen table and prayed for help. + +Suddenly, a voice spoke to her. It said, "Be strong and don't give up. Faith will get you all the help you need." + +The little girl was so excited! She thanked the mystery voice and ran out of the kitchen. She worked hard and persisted until she achieved what she wanted. + +At the end of her journey, the little girl could see how her persistence had paid off. + +The moral of the story is that if you are persistent and pray, you can achieve anything. +Once upon a time there was a little bird. He was number one out of ten birds hatched in the same nest. The other birds were all bigger than him, but he was glad. One morning, all ten birds decided to march in fours. Little bird, being the smallest, came last in the line. + +As they marched on, the bigger birds began to laugh at little bird's slow pace, which made him very sad. + +"Why can't you march faster little one?" jeered a bigger bird. + +Little bird bowed his head and kept walking slowly. + +At last, they finally arrived at the pond they had been marching to. As soon as they arrived, little bird saw something glinting in the pond. He flew over to take a closer look, and saw that it was a shiny gold coin. + +Excitedly, he called over the other birds and asked them to help him collect the coin. Though the others had made fun of him earlier, now they were glad that little bird had been slow - thanks to him, they had found a golden reward! + +The moral of the story? Being slow isn't always a bad thing - sometimes it can lead to a greater reward if you stick with it! +Once there was a boy who loved his rug. The rug was an amazing colour and it made him feel special when he used it. The boy loved to tell his mom about the rug and how it made him feel. + +"Mama, I love this rug! It's so amazing and warm!", he said excitedly. His mom nodded and smiled at her son. + +One day, the boy was playing with his rug, but he was being too rough. He heard a loud rip and looked down. His rug was ripped in two and he was so sad. + +He ran to his mom and said desperately, "Mama! The rug is ripped! What can I do?" + +His mom sadly shook her head. "I'm sorry, but there is nothing you can do. You have to use something else now." + +The boy was very sad and he felt like he had lost his amazing rug forever. +A yellow flame kept flickering in the corner of the room. It shone from a small yellow candle, which the little girl had been given. One night the girl asked her mum what would happen if she blew out the candle. Her mum said that if she blew it out, something special might happen. + +The girl decided to try it. She held her breath and puffed hard. The flame on the candle extinguished with a puff, leaving the room dark and quiet. + +The girl was starting to think nothing had happened, when suddenly a gentle voice whispered in the darkness. + +"Hello there! Are you ready to find out what happened?" + +The girl was so scared she could hardly speak. But then the candle light returned, just like the voice had said. The girl covered her eyes, she was sure she was dreaming. But when she opened them, there was a magical creature standing right in front of her. The girl gasped, and the creature smiled at her. + +"I'm here because you blew out the yellow candle," he said. "It was a special candle, and it granted you a wish!" + +The girl could hardly believe it. She wished for something special. The creature smiled, and handed her a mysterious box. + +The girl opened the box, and found the most amazing thing inside. She screamed with joy and the creature laughed. + +The girl had discovered that when you blow out a yellow candle, +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Max. He was so excited one day when he saw a big toy wreck. Max wanted it so much and asked his mum for it. She shook her head sadly, saying "no, we do not have enough money for that wreck". Max was so sad, he sighed. + +It was an old wreck and it cost a lot. Max still wanted the wreck, so he asked his dad for it. His dad was proud and worked hard all day to try to get the wreck for his son. He thought it was a good way to show Max he loved him. Sadly, when he got to the toy shop, the wreck was sold. Dad was sad and he sighed too. + +Max was disappointed and he went to bed. He felt so down, but he remembered one thing: it is much more valuable to feel loved and cared for than to have all the toys and wrecks in the world. Max was proud of his dad, who had worked hard and tried his best to get him the wreck. + +Moral of the story: It is more important to feel loved and cared for than to have all the possessions in the world. +Once upon a time, there was a wise old owl. He was sitting in his nest in a big tree. Suddenly, he heard a small voice calling up to him. + +The voice said: "Owl! Owl! Are you up there?" + +The wise owl looked down and saw a small child. He said in a soft voice: "Yes, I am here. What can I do for you?" + +The child said: "Can you talk to me? I don't have anyone to talk to." + +The owl nodded his head and said: "Yes, I can talk to you. What do you want to talk about?" + +The child thought for a moment and then said: "I want to talk about bubbles. Have you ever seen bubbles?" + +The wise owl smiled and said: "Yes, I have seen many different kinds of bubbles. I can tell you all about them if you would like." + +The child smiled and said: "Yes please!" + +So the wise owl told the child all sorts of stories about different kinds of bubbles, and the child listened with great interest. After a while, the child thanked the owl, and they said goodbye. The owl watched as the child skipped away happily, and he smiled. +Once upon a time, a little girl named Amber was looking for something to do. Her mommy had gone to work and nobody else was home. + +Amber opened the cupboard and it was full of things. She saw a gray cat on the top shelf and something shiny on the bottom one. + +Amber said "Hello, Cat! What's that number?" + +The Cat meowed and said "It's a special game. If you number the pieces correctly you can win." + +Amber was so excited - she counted the pieces aloud until she numbered them all correctly. Amber had found something fun to do! +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lisa. She was brave, with a twinkle in her eye. One day she went out to play with her friends. + +As they were exploring, Lisa saw a big pond. She wanted to go look at the water, but she was a bit scared. Her friends told her to be brave, and go ahead. + +Lisa said, "But what if I fall in?" + +They said, "Don't worry. You won't fall in if you're careful." + +So Lisa took a deep breath and walked towards the pond. She slowly made her way around the edge of the pond, enjoying the view. But then, something scary happened. Just then, a big log was thrown into the pond! + +Lisa was frightened. She stepped back away from the water and ran back to her friends. + +When she was in the safety of her friends' arms, they explained what had happened. + +They said, "Someone threw the log in the pond and that scared you. But if you remember to be careful and take your time, you'll never get yourself into dangerous situations." + +Lisa nodded her head and they all understood the moral of the story. If you are brave, but also cautious and pay attention to your surroundings, you can stay out of harm's way. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Amy. She was three years old and lived with her parents in a very small house.

Amy's dad had the luggage and Amy was skipping along the path with her parents. + +As they walked, Amy began to notice how jealous some of the other people in the village were. They looked envious of Amy and her family, wishing they were taking a walk as well. + +Amy smiled and said, "Let's wander some more!" Her parents laughed, and they kept walking until the sun set. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who enjoyed singing. She loved music and wanted to be able to sing the notes that were fit for her voice. One day, she asked her mom if she could try and find the perfect pitch for her voice. + +Her mom looked up some information and found a place where the little girl could sign up for singing lessons. She was so excited that she clapped her hands and jumped around, ready to start learning. + +At her first lesson, the teacher asked the little girl to sing different notes. He showed her different pitches and asked her to tell him which ones fit for her voice. She tried high notes, low notes and all kinds of notes in between - it was so much fun! + +When the lesson was over, the little girl was so happy. She had found her perfect pitch and knew how to sing with it! She was so proud of herself and couldn't wait to keep singing with her new pitch. + +The End +Jill and her mommy were celebrating in the garden. They blew up some pretty balloons, and Jill waved her sparkly wand. There was a hurricane coming, so they had to hurry up and celebrate. The wind started to blow and the trees waved and swayed. But Jill and her mommy kept celebrating, even amidst the hurricane. The sky was grey and stormy, but the garden was full of balloons and Jill felt so pretty. They hugged and danced and laughed until the hurricane blew away. When the sun came out again, they hugged and celebrated some more. The garden was filled with joy and the air smelled sweet. Jill and her mommy continued to celebrate, even when the hurricane was gone. +Max was at the park with his mom. He saw the big slide and wanted to try it. His mom said "okay, but first you need to put on your purple helmet". Max put the purple helmet on and he was ready to slide. + +He grabbed the sides of the slide and took a deep breath. Then he let go and he was sliding down the slide. As he got to the bottom, he was so happy! + +Max's mom said to him, "Come on, now let's go get an ice cream!" Max thought that sounded like the best idea ever. + +At the ice cream stand, Max ordered a purple and sour ice cream. He licked his ice cream and said "yum! This is so good". He ate all of his ice cream, smiled, and went off to find something else to do at the park. +Once, there was a little lamb named Lucy. She was white and fluffy and had big, black eyes that sparkled in the sun. + +One night, Lucy was searching for somewhere comfy and warm to sleep. She found a nice patch of grass and some lovely wool blankets. She wrapped herself up snugly in the wool and snuggled down. + +"This is perfect," said Lucy. "I am so warm and comfortable." + +As Lucy drifted off to sleep, she could feel the soft, warm wool all around her. She smiled to herself and soon started to dream. + +In the morning, Lucy woke up feeling refreshed and happy. She rolled over, still wrapped in her wool blanket, and looked up at the bright blue sky. + +"What a beautiful day!" said Lucy. "Time to get up and explore!" +Once upon a time there was a little boy named Jack. He was three years old and he loved to rock! He had a rockin' bedroom with lots of rocking toys. + +One day, Jack asked his parents if he could go see a real life musician. His parents thought it was a wonderful idea and said yes. + +So off Jack went with his parents to see the musician. The musician was big, had lots of instruments and was really rocking! But Jack got bored after a while and started to rock in his chair. His parents shook their heads, but the musician smiled and said "Hey, rock on little guy!" + +Jack was so happy! The musician said the funniest things and showed him how to play the guitar. Jack even got to rock out on his own. Before they had to leave, the musician gave Jack a toy guitar of his own. + +Jack took his guitar everywhere and kept rocking like a pro. All thanks to the awesome musician! +Molly was walking in a park when suddenly she saw an alligator! She was scared and started to run away. But the alligator chased her and rolled across the grass making a rough sound. + +Molly stopped and shouted, "Go away alligator!" +The alligator stopped rolling and looked at Molly. Then it spoke, in a soft voice, "Don't be scared Molly. I won't hurt you." + +Molly was still a bit scared, but she also felt curious. She asked, "Why are you rolling around?" + +The alligator replied, "I was just trying to have some fun. Rolling around is one of my favorite games!" + +Molly smiled. She understood now and said, "That sounds like fun. Can I play too?" + +The alligator smiled back and said, "Yes, of course. Come and join me!" + +So, Molly and the alligator rolled around the park together, having lots of fun! +Once upon a time, there lived a curious little girl. Every day when she went out to play in the garden, she would take her favourite bar of soap with her. The soap was special because it made the water seem to sparkle and glimmer in the sunshine. + +One day while she was playing, she saw something shiny in the ground. She immediately started to dig with her hands and realized that it was a box. She was so curious as to what was inside, so she opened it. + +Inside the box were two pretty necklaces and two golden rings. "Oh, how lovely!" She exclaimed. Just as she picked up the jewelry, she heard a voice behind her. She jumped up in surprise. + +It was her grandmother. She said sternly, "What is this? You must bury the jewelry, it does not belong to you." + +Terrified, the little girl buried the jewelry in the ground as she was told. She watched sadly as her grandmother placed the box back where she found it and said, "Remember, you must never take anything that does not belong to you". + +The little girl went back to playing in the garden, but she was sad. She had wanted to keep the jewelry and now she had to bury it. + +Moral of the story: Always obey your elders and never take things that don´t belong to you. +Jack the rabbit was out exploring the meadow when he came to a dangerous river. He wanted to cross, but knew it was too dangerous to try. He was trying to figure out what to do when he saw a mixer. + +Jack hopped up to the mixer.

The mixer bobbed in the water, helping Jack to get across the river safely. + +Jack thanked the mixer for helping him. From that day on, the mixer was Jack's faithful friend. +Once there was a big, tall tree. It was huge! One day a bird flew to the top of the tree.

The bird wanted to practice its language, so it began to balance on one foot. + +The bird chirped a she balanced, hoping its language would reach the ground below. But no one answered. + +The bird was disappointed and a little bit sad. Just then, a little girl stepped onto the grass below. She was only three years old. + +The girl looked up and saw the bird. "Hello, little bird! What are you doing?" she asked. + +"I'm balancing and I'm learning language," the bird replied. + +The little girl clapped her hands and smiled. She started to balance, just like the bird. + +The bird was happy to have a friend. They balanced together, learning language and enjoying the moment. + +The bird thanked the little girl and flew away, leaving her behind with a huge smile on her face. +Once upon a time there were two children. One was three years old and the other was six. The six year old had a beautiful new blue blouse. The three year old was so jealous and kept trying to take the blouse. The six year old said "No, no. This blouse is mine!" + +But the three year old was very naughty and did not listen. Eventually, the six year old's mom had to punish the naughty three year old. She said, "You must not take things that don't belong to you. That is bad and you will be punished." + +The little three year old was very sad and said sorry. He promised to never take things that don't belong to him again. + +To show that she was still proud of her little three year old, the mom gave him an impressive bookmark with a beautiful butterfly on it.

The animals were celebrating their powerful lion! +There was once a little girl, who was very curious. She asked her mama, "Mama, why is the cane lying on the floor?" + +Mama answered, "That's a dead cane, sweetheart. It's not alive anymore." + +The little girl was confused and asked, "What does 'dead' mean?" + +Mama explained, "Dead means something doesn't move and it doesn't sort anymore. Like this cane, it's not alive anymore, so it's dead." + +The little girl nodded and said, "Ok, I understand. Let's sort it so it looks tidier!" + +The mama smiled and said, "That's a great idea!" + +Together, they sorted the cane. They found some pieces of paper, a pencil, and a small toy.

Let's put it back outside." + +Jimmy thought for a moment, but eventually decided to do what his mom said. He carefully placed the paw in its original spot, and watched as it scurried away. Jimmy had discovered something, and he was glad his mom taught him how to deal with the dangerous situation the right way. +Once upon a time, there was a cute tree.

Why are you trying to surrender?†+ +But the tree just shook its leaves, it didn’t say a word. + +The lumberjack just stared and then said, “Well, if you surrender, I won’t cut you down. I can use you for my lumber.†+ +The tree thought about it and then heaved a big sigh. It decided to surrender and the lumberjack was happy. He gathered up the tree’s limbs and took them away. + +The tree was glad that it had surrendered, it felt different. Now it could help the lumberjack make things better. The tree was happy, and everyone around was too! +Once upon a time, there was a mother and her child. The mother was a very kind lady and she wanted to keep her child safe.

As he walked through the forest, he felt something was watching him. He kept looking around, but nothing was there. + +He felt tired and lonely. His thoughts were dull and he stopped to take a rest. He sat still and listened for any sounds. Suddenly, he heard a growl and he quickly jumped up. A bear was standing a few feet away! Jack stayed still and the bear did nothing. + +He then realised that something was wrong. During the last few days he had been too busy to pay attention to the animal's behaviour. He had been too dull to notice the bear was feeling scared and threatened. He quickly moved away and left. + +The hunter realised that he could have been more mindful. He knew he should be more mindful of his surroundings, animals and people so as to prevent any conflict. + +From then on, Jack was much more careful and mindful. He never wanted to be dull again. +Once upon a time there was a kind boy who wanted to play with his friends. Every day he asked his mom if he could go outside and play, but she always said no. He was sad and frustrated but he was persistent. + +One day, his mom finally said he could go outside and play. He was so excited he screamed 'Yes!' He ran outside and his friends were so happy to see him. They made an emerald heart out of clay. + +The friends then placed the heart near the campfire they had made to keep warm. They thought the heart wouldn't burn because it was made from clay. But suddenly, the heart started to burn! The friends screamed and ran to find some water. + +The kind boy was the most persistent. He ran and ran and never gave up. Finally, he found a bucket of water and grabbed it. He ran back as quickly as he could and poured the water on the burning heart. + +The friends were so relieved! The kind boy had saved their heart! They thanked him for being so persistent and brave. From that day on, the boy became the group's leader and friend. +Once upon a time, there was a mummy and a daddy. One day, mummy was in the kitchen. She had some ingredients in a big bowl.

She got out of bed, and went to the kitchen to see what mummy was doing. + +Mummy noticed the little girl and said, "What are you doing up so early? You should be in bed!"

The sink had many colours and was pretty to look at. + +"Wow!" exclaimed Mary. + +Suddenly, the sink started to make strange noises. Mary was scared, but then her dad came in and said, "Don't worry, it's just the sink needing to be restored." + +Mary watched her dad as he used tools to fix the sink. He worked hard to make the sink shiny and light again. When he was finished he said, "Mary, now this sink looks like new!" + +Mary was so delighted that she hugged her dad and said, "Thanks, daddy, for restoring my sink!" +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Mary.

She was pointing at a big black object in the grass. + +Her mommy said, "That's a steak, Mary. It's for my dinner tonight." Mary looked sad, so Mommy said, "Don't worry, Mary. You don't want to eat it. It's a big steak, and it will make your tummy hurt." + +Mary smiled and they continued along the path. Soon, they found a pond where they could feed the ducks. Mary was happy again. She had forgotten all about the steak. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved to climb. He was very brave and always looking for something to climb. One day he found a big steel pole. It was very tall and the boy was scared to climb it. + +But, he decided to try. Carefully he began to climb the steel pole. He thought it was harmless and he held on tight. He climbed and he climbed until he reached the top. + +The boy was very proud. He had climbed so high and it felt so good!

She asked her mom if she could get some more hair. + +"Mom," Sarah said, "can you allow me to have more hair please?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, I can try, but you'll have to wait for it to grow." + +Sarah was disappointed but she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait!" + +So Sarah waited, and waited, but her hair still didn't seem to be growing any longer. But eventually Sarah's patience paid off and soon her hair was just as long as Marie's! + +Sarah was so happy and Marie was a bit envious of the length of her friend's hair. From then on, Sarah and Marie became very close friends, just like their beautiful hair! +Once upon a time, there were two best friends named Abby and Zoe. Abby was always very original and always had smart ideas. Zoe was very quiet, she liked the sound of silence. One night, Abby invited Zoe to her house for dinner. + +When they were eating dinner, Abby suggested they play a game.

Abby and Zoe both tried really hard to be really quiet. + +After a few minutes, Zoe said she wanted to give up. Abby asked her why, and Zoe said she was too shy and too scared of the silence. Abby said that she understood and patted Zoe on the shoulder. + +The moral of this story is that it is ok to be scared of silence, but sometimes you have to be brave and try something new. Inviting someone to dinner was a brave thing for Abby to do, and trying to sit in silence was brave for Zoe. Being original and trying something new doesn't always come easily, but it is worth the effort. +Once upon a time there was a magical box. Inside the box was something very special.

Anna shook her head and put her hands on her hips, "No mama! I don’t want to wear my hat." + +Mama held out the hat patiently and said, "You must wear it, Anna. It's very sunny out and you'll get too much sun if you don't." + +But Anna shook her head. She was too stubborn to remember why she should wear the hat. + +Mama sighed and said, "Remember, Anna: when you wear a hat you are healthy and safe." + +At last, Anna remembered. She put on her hat and went outside to play. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She liked to play and try new things.

Let's get it out of your shoe." + +Mama knelt down, removed the rub and examined it. She noticed a few honest ridges that pocked its surface. She shook her head and tossed the rub aside. + +Mama: "That is so sharp! Let's be careful from now on, ok?" +Jack: "Yes Mama! I'll be careful." + +And with that, Mama and Jack continued their walk in the park.

She pushed Jack on the swing and Jack laughed with joy. + +Suddenly, Jack noticed something cool. He said, "Mom, look! It's a shelf!" + +Jack's Mom looked and saw a shelf made of ice! It had easy shapes on it like stars and hearts. Jack said with awe, "Wow, it's so cool! How did it freeze?" + +Jack's Mom said, "It's easy. The wind and the cold temperatures worked together to freeze the shelf." Jack smiled and said, "Can I touch it?" + +Jack's Mom said, "Yes, just be careful."
