I love you very much. You are my sunshine." + +Anna said, "I love you too, grandma. You are my star." + +They blew kisses to each other and said goodbye. Mom hugged Anna and said, "You are a good girl, Anna. Grandma is proud of you. And so am I." + +Anna felt a little better. She hoped she could visit grandma soon. She looked at the sky and wished for the bad virus to go away. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play outside in the garden. One day, they find a lovely path that goes into the woods. They want to see where it leads. + +"Come on, Tom, let's go!" Sara says. She holds Tom's hand and runs along the path. + +"Wait, Sara, look!" Tom says. He stops and points to a big rock. The rock is shiny and has many colors. Tom likes rocks. He picks up the rock and puts it in his pocket. + +"Wow, that's a nice rock, Tom. Can I see?" Sara asks. She looks at the rock and smiles. She likes rocks too. + +"Sure, Sara. Here you go." Tom gives the rock to Sara. She holds it and feels its weight and shape. + +"Thank you, Tom. This is a very special rock. Can we share it?" Sara asks. + +"Okay, Sara. We can share it. It's our rock." Tom says. + +They hug and continue to follow the path. They wonder what else they will find in the woods. They are happy and curious. They have each other and their rock. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were their parents and make them talk. + +"Hello, I am Lily's mom," Lily said in a high voice, holding her doll with a pink dress. "I like to cook and read books." + +"Hello, I am Ben's dad," Ben said in a low voice, holding his doll with a blue shirt. "I like to work and watch TV." + +Then Ben had an idea. He took a piece of grass and stuck it under his doll's nose. He made his doll say, "And I have a big, thick mustache. Do you like it?" + +Lily looked at the grass and laughed. She thought it was funny. She made her doll say, "Yes, I like it. It makes you look handsome." + +But then a big dog came running to them. It saw the grass and thought it was a snack. It jumped on Ben and grabbed the grass with its mouth. It pulled the grass and the doll's head came off. + +Ben screamed and dropped the doll. Lily screamed too. The dog ran away with the grass and the doll's head. + +Lily and Ben were very sad. They looked at the doll with no head. They felt embarrassed. They hoped no one saw what happened. + +They hugged each other and said, "It's okay. We can fix it. We can glue the head back. And we can find another grass for the mustache." + +They picked up the doll and ran to their mom. They told her what happened and asked for help. Their mom smiled and said, "Don't worry. It was an accident. I'm sure your doll will be fine. And you know what? I think your dad would look silly with a mustache. He is handsome just the way he is." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make a race track with books and boxes. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars on the track. + +Tom has a red car. It is very fast. It zips past the books and boxes. Tom says, "My car is the best. It has the most speed. I will win the race." + +Mia has a blue car. It is not very fast. It goes slowly past the books and boxes. Mia says, "My car is not the best. It has little speed. I will not win the race." + +But Mia is wise. She knows a trick. She sees a ramp made of a book. She pushes her car up the ramp. Her car flies in the air. It lands on the other side of the track. It is ahead of Tom's car. + +Tom is surprised. He says, "How did you do that? Your car is slow. My car is fast." + +Mia smiles. She says, "My car is smart. It knows how to fly. Your car is fast, but it does not know how to fly." + +Mia's car crosses the finish line. Mia wins the race. Tom is sad. He says, "You are a good racer. You are wise. Can you teach me how to fly?" + +Mia says, "Yes, I can. We can be friends. We can play with cars. We can have fun." +Sara was a curious girl who liked to explore new things. She loved to go to the park with her mom and see the birds, the flowers and the swings. One day, mom brought a basket with some snacks for their picnic. Sara saw a muffin in the basket and wanted to try it. + +"Mom, can I have a muffin?" she asked. + +"Sure, sweetie, but you have to eat your sandwich first. The muffin is for dessert," mom said. + +Sara nodded and took a bite of her sandwich. But she was not very hungry and the sandwich was boring. She looked at the muffin again and saw that it had chocolate chips and nuts on top. It looked so yummy and tempting. She decided to put down her sandwich and reach for the muffin. + +"Sara, what are you doing?" mom asked. "You have to finish your sandwich before you can have a muffin. That's the rule." + +Sara shook her head and refused to listen. She grabbed the muffin and took a big bite. She smiled and thought it was the best thing she ever tasted. But then she felt something hard and crunchy in her mouth. She spit it out and saw a nut. She did not like nuts. They were gross and made her cough. + +"Mom, I don't like this muffin. It has nuts in it. Can I have another one?" she asked. + +"No, Sara, you can't have another one. You already took a bite of this one and you wasted your sandwich. You have to eat what you have or you will have nothing," mom said. + +Sara frowned and felt sorry. She realized that she was not curious, but greedy. She wished she had listened to her mom and eaten her sandwich first. She learned a lesson that day: muffins are not always better than sandwiches, and rules are not always bad. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys in their room. One day, they found a big box in the closet. They opened it and saw many colorful balloons. + +"Wow, look at these!" Lily said. "Let's blow them up and make them fly!" + +"Okay!" Ben said. They took turns blowing the balloons and tying them. They had fun watching them bounce and float in the air. + +But then, they heard a loud knock on the door. It was their mom. + +"Kids, what are you doing in there?" she asked. "It's time for lunch!" + +"Mom, we found balloons!" Lily said. "Can we play with them a little more?" + +"No, you can't," mom said. "Balloons are not toys. They are for parties. And they can pop and make a mess. You have to put them back in the box right now." + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They liked the balloons. They did not want to put them back. + +"But mom, we want to keep them!" Ben said. "They make us happy!" + +Mom shook her head. "I'm sorry, but you have to listen to me. Balloons are not safe for you. You can play with your other toys. Now, come on, lunch is ready." + +Lily and Ben sighed. They did not want to make mom angry. They slowly took the balloons and put them back in the box. They followed mom to the kitchen. + +Mom saw their faces. She felt sorry for them. She had an idea. + +"Kids, I have a surprise for you," she said. "Do you know what day it is today?" + +Lily and Ben looked at her. They did not know. + +"It's your birthday!" mom said. "You are four years old today!" + +Lily and Ben gasped. They forgot about their birthday. They felt happy. + +"Really?" Lily asked. "It's our birthday?" + +"Yes, it is!" mom said. "And I have a cake and candles and presents for you. And guess what else?" + +She opened the box and raised the balloons. They were cheerful and bright. + +"Balloons!" Lily and Ben shouted. "You got us balloons!" + +Mom smiled. "Yes, I did. Balloons are for parties. And today is your party. Happy birthday, my sweet twins!" + +Lily and Ben hugged mom. They thanked her for the balloons. They ate the cake and opened the presents. They played with the balloons. They had a wonderful birthday. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden with their mom. Mom has many flowers in the garden. She says flowers need water and sun to grow and bloom. Bloom means to open and show pretty colors. + +One day, Sara and Ben see a new flower in the garden. It is big and yellow. It has a long green post. Post means the part that holds the flower up. Sara and Ben want to smell the flower. They run to the flower and bend the post. + +"Ouch!" the flower says. "That hurts! Please don't bend my post. I need it to stand and reach the sun. I am a sunflower. I follow the sun all day. If you bend my post, I will be weak. Weak means not strong and not happy." + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They did not know flowers can talk. They feel sorry for the flower. They say, "We are sorry, sunflower. We did not mean to hurt you. We just wanted to smell you. You are very pretty. Can we be your friends?" + +The sunflower smiles. It says, "Thank you, Sara and Ben. You are very kind. I forgive you. You can be my friends. You can smell me, but please be gentle. Don't bend my post. You can also help me by giving me some water when I am thirsty. Then I will be strong and happy. And I will bloom more for you." +Lily was a naughty girl. She liked to take things that were not hers. One day, she saw a shiny cane in the hall. It belonged to her grandpa, who needed it to walk. Lily wanted to play with the cane, so she took it and ran to her room. + +Grandpa was looking for his cane. He asked Lily's mom, "Where is my cane? I need it to go outside." Lily's mom did not know. She said, "Maybe Lily knows. Let's ask her." They went to Lily's room and knocked on the door. + +Lily heard them and hid the cane under her bed. She opened the door and smiled. She said, "Hello, grandpa. Hello, mom. What do you want?" Grandpa said, "Lily, do you have my cane? I need it to go outside." Lily said, "No, I don't have your cane. I don't know where it is." + +Lily's mom did not believe her. She said, "Lily, tell the truth. Did you take grandpa's cane?" Lily said, "No, I didn't. I don't have it." Lily's mom said, "Lily, don't lie. I can see the cane under your bed. Give it back to grandpa right now." + +Lily felt ashamed. She knew she was naughty. She said, "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry, mom. I took your cane because it was shiny. I wanted to play with it. Here it is." She gave the cane back to grandpa. Grandpa said, "Thank you, Lily. But you should not take things that are not yours. That is wrong. You should ask first. Do you understand?" Lily said, "Yes, grandpa. I understand. I won't do it again. I love you, grandpa." Grandpa said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to be a good girl. Now, let's go outside and play together." Lily said, "Okay, grandpa. Let's go." They hugged and went outside. Lily's mom smiled and followed them. The end. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the big building where they lived. They liked to ride the elevator up and down and press all the buttons. One day, they saw a sign on the elevator that said "Out of order. Do not use." But they did not know what that meant. They thought it was a game. + +"Let's go in the elevator and see what happens!" Ben said. + +"Okay!" Lily said. They ran to the elevator and pushed the door open. They got inside and pressed all the buttons. The elevator made a loud noise and started to move. + +"Yay! This is fun!" Lily said. + +But then the elevator stopped and the lights went out. They were stuck in the dark. + +"Uh-oh. What do we do?" Ben said. + +"I don't know. Help!" Lily said. + +They started to cry and scream. They heard a voice from outside. + +"Hello? Is anyone in there?" the voice said. + +"Yes! We are in here! Help us!" Ben said. + +"Who are you? How did you get in there?" the voice said. + +"We are Lily and Ben. We live here. We wanted to play in the elevator," Lily said. + +The voice sighed. "You are very foolish. The elevator is broken. You could have been hurt. You spoiled the repair work. Now we have to wait for the mechanic to come and fix it. You will have to stay in there until he comes. It might take a long time." + +Lily and Ben felt very sorry and scared. They wished they had listened to the sign. They learned their lesson. They never played in the elevator again. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big metal thing with wheels. It is a bus. They want to go inside. + +"Can we sit in the bus?" Tom asks Sue. + +"Maybe," Sue says. "But we have to be careful. The bus might go away." + +They look around. They do not see anyone. They run to the bus. They open the door. They climb the steps. They see many seats. They are happy. + +"Let's sit here!" Tom says. He points to a seat in the front. He sits down. He pretends to drive. He makes noises. "Vroom, vroom!" + +"Let's sit there!" Sue says. She points to a seat in the back. She sits down. She pretends to look out the window. She makes noises. "Wow, wow!" + +They have fun. They do not know that the bus driver is coming back. He is angry. He sees them. He shouts. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing in my bus? Get out of here!" + +Tom and Sue are scared. They jump out of their seats. They run to the door. They go down the steps. They run away. They do not look back. + +They learn a lesson. They do not play in the bus again. They play in the swings. They are safe. They are still friends. +Lily liked to give gifts to her friends. She made cards and drawings and necklaces with beads. She thought they had a lot of value, because she worked hard on them. She wanted to make her friends happy. + +One day, she had a play date with Ben. She was very excited. She had a special gift for him. It was a picture of a dinosaur, his favorite animal. She colored it with many crayons and put stickers on it. She was ready to give it to him. + +When she got to his house, she ran to him and said, "Hi, Ben! I have something for you!" She held out the picture with a big smile. + +Ben looked at it and frowned. He said, "I don't like this. It's ugly. Dinosaurs are not pink and purple. And why did you put hearts on it? That's for girls. This is a bad gift. I don't want it." He threw the picture on the floor and walked away. + +Lily felt very sad. She picked up the picture and hugged it. She didn't understand why Ben was so mean. She thought he would like it. She started to cry. + +Ben's mom saw what happened and came to Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Ben was very rude. He should have said thank you and been nice. You made a beautiful picture. It has a lot of value, because you put your love and creativity into it. I think it's a wonderful gift. Can I have it?" + +Lily looked up and nodded. She gave the picture to Ben's mom and smiled. Ben's mom hugged her and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a very good friend. You know how to give from your heart." +One day, a youth named Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She climbed up the stairs and sat on the slide. She was a little scared, but she was also excited. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, mom!" Lily said. + +She pushed herself down the slide and felt the wind in her hair. She screamed with joy and landed on the soft grass. She was so happy that she laughed out loud. + +"Wow, that was fun!" she said. + +She looked up and saw a boy standing next to the slide. He was older than her and had a mean face. He pointed at her and said, "You are silly! Slides are for babies, not for youths. You should go play with dolls or something." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like the boy. She wanted to say something back, but she did not know what. + +Her mom heard the boy and came over. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't listen to him, Lily. You are not silly, you are brave. Slides are for everyone who likes them, no matter how old they are. You should be proud of yourself for trying something new." + +She looked at the boy and said, "And you, young man, you should be humble and kind. You don't have to make fun of others to feel good about yourself. You should apologize to Lily and say something nice." + +The boy looked down and felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong and rude. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. You are not silly, you are cool. I like your laugh, it is happy and loud." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, boy. I'm sorry I screamed, I was just having fun. Do you want to try the slide with me? It is fun and fast." + +The boy nodded and said, "Yes, please. I never tried the slide before. I was afraid, but you make it look easy." + +They climbed up the stairs and sat on the slide. They pushed themselves down and felt the wind in their hair. They screamed with joy and landed on the soft grass. They were both happy that they laughed out loud. + +They became friends and played together for a long time. They learned to be humble and kind to each other. They had fun and laughed a lot. +Lily and Tom were having breakfast with their mom. They liked to eat toast with jam and butter. Mom gave them each a slice of toast and a small jar of jam. + +"Can I have the red jam, please?" Lily asked. She liked strawberry jam the best. + +"Sorry, Lily, we only have the purple jam left. The red jam is all gone," Mom said. + +Lily felt frustrated. She did not like the purple jam. It was grape jam and it was too sour for her. She wanted the sweet and yummy red jam. + +She looked at Tom. He was spreading the purple jam on his toast and smiling. He liked all kinds of jam. He did not care if it was red or purple or green. + +Lily had an idea. She grabbed the jar of purple jam from Tom's hand and ran to the window. She opened the window and threw the jar outside. + +"Bye-bye, purple jam! Fly away!" she shouted. + +Tom and Mom gasped. They saw the jar of purple jam fly in the air and land on the roof of the neighbor's house. The jam splashed everywhere and made a big mess. + +"Lily! What did you do?" Mom asked. She was angry and shocked. + +Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to make a mess. She just wanted the red jam. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I don't like the purple jam. I want the red jam," she said. + +Mom sighed. She hugged Lily and said, "I know, Lily, but you can't throw things out of the window. That's not nice. You have to share with your brother and be polite. Maybe next time we can buy some red jam for you, okay?" + +Lily nodded. She said sorry to Tom and gave him a hug. She learned her lesson. She decided to try the purple jam and see if it was not so bad. Maybe she would like it after all. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play in the park. One day, they saw a big poster of a panda on the wall. The poster said, "Help save the pandas! They are in danger!" + +"Wow, look at that panda! It is so cute and fluffy!" Lily said. + +"I want to see a real panda! Do you think they live in the park?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe we can find one if we look hard enough," Lily said. + +They decided to go deeper into the park, where there were many trees and flowers. They hoped to see a panda hiding behind a bush or climbing a branch. They walked and walked, but they did not see any pandas. + +"Maybe they are shy. Maybe we have to call them," Tom said. + +He cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted, "Panda, panda, where are you? We want to be your friends!" + +Lily joined him and shouted, "Panda, panda, come out and play! We have some snacks for you!" + +They waited for a while, but they did not hear any answer. They felt sad and tired. They wanted to go back to their mom and dad, but they did not know the way. They had walked too far and got lost. + +They started to cry and hug each other. They wished they had not left their parents. They wished they had not believed that there were pandas in the park. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big, gray animal with sharp teeth and claws. It was not a panda. It was a bear. A hungry bear. + +The bear saw them and licked its lips. It ran towards them, ready to attack. + +Tom and Lily screamed and tried to run away, but it was too late. The bear caught them and ate them. + +The moral of the story is: Do not wander away from your parents. Do not believe everything you see on posters. Do not try to find pandas in the park. They are not there. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They are building a big tower with many colors. Anna likes the blue blocks and Ben likes the red blocks. They are patient and share the blocks. + +"Look, our tower is so tall!" Anna says. + +"Yes, it is. Let's put one more block on top," Ben says. + +They find a yellow block and try to put it on the tower. But the tower is too wobbly and it falls down. The blocks make a loud noise and scatter on the floor. + +"Oh no, our tower!" Anna cries. + +"It's okay, we can build it again," Ben says. + +But Anna is angry. She sees a blue block near Ben and thinks he took it from her. She grabs the block and slaps Ben on the arm. + +"Hey, that's not nice! That hurts!" Ben says. + +Anna does not listen. She slaps Ben again and again. Ben starts to cry. + +"Stop, Anna, stop!" Ben says. + +Their mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees Anna and Ben fighting and the blocks on the floor. + +"What is going on here?" Mom says. + +"Anna slapped me! She is mean!" Ben says. + +"Anna, why did you slap Ben?" Mom says. + +"He took my block! He broke our tower!" Anna says. + +Mom picks up a piece of the tower and shows it to Anna. + +"Anna, this is not your block. This is a yellow block. You like the blue blocks, remember?" Mom says. + +Anna looks at the piece and sees that Mom is right. She feels sorry for slapping Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I made a mistake. I thought it was a blue block," Anna says. + +"It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. But don't slap me again, please," Ben says. + +Mom hugs Anna and Ben and helps them pick up the blocks. + +"Next time, be careful with your tower. And if it falls down, don't get angry. Just try again. And if you have a problem, talk to each other. Don't slap each other. Slapping is not nice. It hurts and makes people sad," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod and say sorry to Mom. They hug each other and start to build a new tower. They are patient and share the blocks. They are happy and have fun. +Lily liked to go to the park on Sunday with her mom and dad. She liked to swing, slide and play with her ball. She also liked to see other kids and make new friends. + +One Sunday, she saw a boy with a red hat and a blue bike. He looked nice and fun. She wanted to play with him. She ran to him and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The boy looked at her and laughed. He said, "No, I don't want to be your friend. You are silly and ugly. Your dress is dirty and your hair is messy. Go away, you bother me." + +Lily felt very sad and angry. She felt her face get hot. She felt embarrass. She wanted to cry. She did not understand why the boy was so mean. She did not do anything wrong. + +She ran back to her mom and dad. She told them what the boy said. They hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. You are not silly or ugly. You are smart and beautiful. You have a nice dress and a pretty hair. The boy was rude and unkind. He does not know how to be a good friend. You can find other kids who are nice and friendly." + +Lily tried to smile, but she still felt hurt. She did not want to play anymore. She wanted to go home. She did not feel safe in the park. She did not like Sunday. She hoped the boy with the red hat and the blue bike would fall and get hurt. She hoped he would feel embarrass too. She hoped he would be sorry. She hoped he would be alone. +Lily was restless. She could not sleep. She tossed and turned in her bed. She heard noises outside. She felt scared. + +She got up and went to her mom's room. She knocked on the door. "Mom, I can't sleep. Can I stay with you?" she asked. + +Mom opened the door and smiled. "Of course, sweetie. Come in." She lifted Lily up and put her on the bed. She hugged her and kissed her forehead. "What's wrong, honey? Are you having bad dreams?" + +Lily nodded. "I heard noises. They sounded like monsters. I don't like monsters." + +Mom comforted her. "There are no monsters, Lily. Those are just the sounds of the night. The wind, the rain, the animals. They are not scary. They are part of nature. They are your friends." + +Lily felt a little better. She snuggled with Mom. Mom gave her a spoon. "Do you want some warm milk? It will help you relax and sleep." + +Lily smiled. She liked warm milk. She took the spoon and dipped it in the cup. She sipped the milk slowly. It was sweet and creamy. She felt warm and cozy. + +She closed her eyes and yawned. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Good night, sweetie. Sleep tight." + +Lily fell asleep in Mom's arms. She had no more bad dreams. She had only good dreams. Dreams of spoons and milk and Mom. +Anna likes to zip her coat when she goes outside. She thinks it is fun to pull the zipper up and down. She also likes to wear her boots with the fuzzy fur. They keep her feet warm and cozy. + +One day, Anna goes outside with her mom and dad. They want to play in the snow. Anna zips her coat and puts on her boots. She is ready to make a snowman and throw snowballs. + +But when she steps in the snow, she feels something strange. It is not cold or wet. It is tickly and soft. She looks down and sees a lot of feathers on the ground. They are white and fluffy, like the fur on her boots. + +Anna is surprised and curious. She picks up some feathers and throws them in the air. They float and swirl like snowflakes. She laughs and claps her hands. She wonders where the feathers came from. + +She hears a loud squawk and looks up. She sees a big bird in the sky. It is unusual. It has a long neck and a big beak. It has no feathers on its wings or tail. It is a bald eagle. + +The bald eagle is flying over the snow. It is looking for food. It sees Anna and her mom and dad. It thinks they are interesting. It flies closer to them. + +Anna sees the bald eagle too. She is not scared. She thinks it is beautiful. She waves at it and says hello. She wants to be its friend. + +The bald eagle sees Anna waving and saying hello. It is not angry. It thinks she is cute. It lands on the snow near her. It bends its head and touches her toe with its beak. It is a gentle hello. + +Anna giggles and touches the bald eagle's head with her hand. It is smooth and warm. She says thank you for the feathers. She thinks they are a nice gift. + +The bald eagle nods and smiles. It says you're welcome for the feathers. It thinks they are a nice trade. + +Anna and the bald eagle become friends. They play in the snow and the feathers. They have a lot of fun. Anna's mom and dad watch them and smile. They think it is a wonderful day. +Lily was sick. She had a cold and a cough. She did not like to be sick. She wanted to play with her toys and her friends. + +Mommy gave Lily a pill. She said it would make her feel better. But Lily did not like the pill. It was big and bitter. She did not want to swallow it. + +She hid the pill under her tongue. She pretended to drink the water. Then she ran to her room. She spit out the pill on the floor. She hoped Mommy would not see it. + +But Mommy was smart. She followed Lily to her room. She saw the pill on the floor. She was not happy. She picked up the pill and said, "Lily, you have to take your medicine. It will help you get well." + +Lily was scared. She did not want Mommy to be mad. She did not want to take the pill. She grabbed the pill from Mommy's hand. She threw it across the room. The pill hit the window. It broke into pieces. The pieces scattered everywhere. + +Mommy sighed. She said, "Lily, that was not nice. Now we have to clean up the mess. And you still have to take another pill." + +Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I don't like the pill. It tastes bad. Can I have something else?" + +Mommy smiled. She said, "I understand, Lily. But the pill is good for you. How about this? I will get you a spoon of honey. It will make the pill taste sweet. And then you can have a sticker and a hug. How does that sound?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Mommy. I will try the pill with honey. And I want a pink sticker and a big hug." + +Mommy hugged Lily. She said, "You are a brave girl, Lily. I love you very much. Now let's go get your medicine and clean up the window." +Sam and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to imagine they were different things. Sometimes they were animals, sometimes they were superheroes, sometimes they were pirates. + +"Let's be pirates today!" Sam said. He put a paper hat on his head and a wooden sword in his hand. "I'm Captain Sam, and this is my ship!" + +"OK, I'm First Mate Lily, and this is my parrot!" Lily said. She held a stuffed toy bird on her shoulder and a plastic telescope in her hand. "We're looking for treasure!" + +They ran around the room, pretending to sail on the sea, fight with other pirates, and find gold and jewels. They used pillows, books, and toys as props. + +On the coffee table, there was an ashtray that belonged to their dad. He used it to put his cigarettes in when he smoked. Sam and Lily knew they were not allowed to touch it, but it looked shiny and round. + +"Look, Lily, I found a treasure!" Sam said. He grabbed the ashtray and held it up. "It's a magic bowl! It can grant wishes!" + +"Wow, let me see!" Lily said. She reached for the ashtray, but Sam pulled it away. + +"No, it's mine! I found it first!" Sam said. He hugged the ashtray to his chest. + +"Share, Sam, share!" Lily said. She tried to grab the ashtray, but Sam pushed her away. + +"Stop it, Lily, stop it!" Sam said.

They feel sorry. + +"It feels bad, Mom," Ben says. + +"It feels sad, Mom," Sam says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. + +"I'm glad you understand," she says. "You know, cars and trucks have to yield sometimes, too. It means they have to let others go first, or wait for their turn. It is a way of being kind and safe. Do you think you can do that, too?" + +Ben and Sam nod and hug Mom back. + +"Yes, Mom, we can," Ben says. + +"Yes, Mom, we will," Sam says. + +Mom gives them the gray car and helps them fix the track. + +"Good," she says. "Now, why don't you try again, and this time, yield when you have to. And maybe you can let the gray car join the race, too. It might like that." + +Ben and Sam agree and smile. They thank Mom and start to play again. They take turns and yield when they have to. They let the gray car join the race, too.

They looked at the train and saw that it was fragile and cheap. They looked at the cup and saw that it was plastic and harmless. + +They hugged Sara and Ben and explained to them that the board and the train were not good for playing.

It is bigger than her hand. She runs to her mom and says, "Mom, look! A big radish! Can I pick it?" + +Her mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can, Sara. That is a rare radish. It is very hard to grow a radish that big. You did a good job helping me raise it." + +Sara is very happy. She pulls the radish out of the ground. It is heavy and round. She holds it in her arms and says, "Thank you, mom. I love you and I love the radish. Can we eat it for lunch?" + +Her mom nods and says, "Of course, we can.

We were mean and wrong. Can we be your friends?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you can be my friends. But you have to be nice to everyone, not just me. And you have to respect their choices, even if they are different from yours. That is how you make friends." + +The mean kids nodded and agreed. They learned a lesson from Lily. They became her friends and played with her. They also tried to wear different clothes sometimes. They found out that it was fun and creative. They thanked Lily for showing them a new way to be. Lily was happy and proud. She was a unique girl. +Jill and Jack were twins who liked to play with pins. They had a big box of pins of different colors and shapes.

It had a smiley face and a curly tail. They wanted to play with it, but they did not know how. They tried to stick it on the board, but it was too heavy.

Now, give me a hug and a kiss, and go play with something else." + +Jill and Jack hugged and kissed their mom. They said, "We love you, mom. We are sorry." They put the jolly pin back in the box.

They are curious and excited. They want to see what the car can do. They agree to take turns and share. Sara goes first. She presses the button and the car makes a loud noise. It sounds like a real car. Sara laughs and claps. Ben goes next. He presses the button and the car moves. It zooms across the floor. Ben cheers and jumps. Sara and Ben take turns again and again.

She thought Max looked silly with the twig. She did not think it was a good crown. + +"That is not a crown, Max. That is a stick. You need a flower to be the fairy king. Like this!" she said, pointing to her daisy. + +Max felt angry. He did not like Lily laughing at him. He wanted a flower too.

Why are you fighting?" she asked, looking at them. + +Lily and Max stopped fighting. They looked at their mom and felt ashamed. They knew they had been bad. + +"We were playing fairies and elves, mom. But Max wanted my daisy for his crown, and I did not want to give it to him. He hurt me, mom. He pulled my hair!"

Max said, pouting. + +Mom sighed. She did not like to see them fight over a flower. She wanted them to be nice to each other. She had an idea. + +"I see. You both wanted to be the fairy king and queen, but you only had one daisy. That is not fair. How about we make two crowns, one for each of you? We can use some other flowers and leaves from the garden. Would you like that?" she asked, smiling. + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt sorry for fighting. They nodded. + +"Yes, mom. We would like that. Thank you, mom. We are sorry, mom." they said, hugging her. + +Mom hugged them back. She was glad they were sorry.

They were happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a ball, a kite and a bike. They shared everything and had fun. One day, a new boy came to the park. He had a big car, a shiny robot and a candy bag. He said his name was Max and he was wealthy. + +"Can we play with you?" Lily asked Max. + +"Sure, but you have to do what I say. I am the boss, because I have more things than you," Max said. + +Lily and Ben did not like that, but they wanted to try Max's toys. Max gave them the car and the robot, but he kept the candy bag for himself. He told them to drive the car and make the robot dance. He laughed and ate his candy. + +"Can we have some candy too?" Ben asked Max. + +"No, this is mine. You can only have candy if you release your ball, your kite and your bike to me," Max said. + +Lily and Ben did not want to give up their things, but they were hungry and curious. They agreed to release their ball, their kite and their bike to Max. Max took them and put them in his car. He gave them each a small piece of candy. + +"Thank you, Max," Lily and Ben said. + +"You're welcome, but now you have to go. I don't want to play with you anymore. You have nothing left. You are poor and boring," Max said. + +He got in his car and drove away. He left Lily and Ben alone in the park. They had no toys, no candy and no friend. They felt sad and angry. They wished they had never met Max. They learned a hard lesson. They should have stayed with each other and their own things. They were happier before. +Ben and Mia are playing with their dog, Rex. Rex is a big, brown dog with a red collar. He is very friendly and likes to run and jump. Ben and Mia throw a ball for Rex and he chases it. They laugh when he brings it back and drops it at their feet. + +"Good boy, Rex!" Ben says, and pats his head. "You are so fast and powerful!" + +"Can I try?" Mia asks, and takes the ball from Ben. She throws it as far as she can, but it lands in a bush. Rex runs after it and tries to get it out. He pushes his nose and paws into the bush, but he can't reach the ball. + +"Rex, come back!" Mia calls. "The ball is stuck!" + +Rex does not listen. He keeps trying to get the ball. He pulls and tugs at the bush, but it is too strong. He does not notice that his collar gets caught on a branch. He tries to move, but he can't. He starts to whine and bark. + +"Oh no, Rex is trapped!" Ben says, and runs to help him. He sees that Rex's collar is hooked on the branch. He tries to unhook it, but it is too tight. He needs something to cut it. + +"Mia, go get the scissors!" Ben says. "Hurry!" + +Mia nods and runs to the house. She finds the scissors in the kitchen and runs back to Ben and Rex. She gives the scissors to Ben and he cuts the collar. Rex is free!

I love Ben." + +Lily ran back to Ben and gave him the cream. She said, "Here, Ben. This will help you. Put some on the bite." Ben took the cream and put some on the bite. He felt the itch go away.

They took the bus to the opera house and bought the cheapest tickets they could find. They sat in the back row and waited for the show to start. They were very excited and happy. + +But soon, they realized that the opera was not what they expected. The singers sang in a language they did not understand. The music was strange and scary.

She was not happy, but she was not very angry either. She knew Bella was just a little girl who liked to spin. She picked up a napkin and wiped the spaghetti off her face. + +"Bella, spinning is fun, but not with the spaghetti. Spaghetti is for eating, not for playing. Next time, spin with something else, okay?" + +"Okay, mom," Bella said. "Can I spin with the napkin?" + +Her mom smiled. She gave her a hug and a kiss. + +"Sure, you can spin with the napkin. But first, let's clean up this mess. And then, let's eat some spaghetti. Do you still want some?" + +"Yes, mom," Bella said. "I like spaghetti.

You support us when we are in danger." + +Lily was happy and proud. She had helped the birds and made them happy. She went back to the house and told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "You are a brave and kind girl. I am proud of you." She also said, "But you are very messy. You have bread crumbs and dirt on your clothes. Let's go and clean you up."

They miss Lily, Rose and Fern. They run to their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. Mom and dad are angry. They call the police. They hope they can find the man and the plants. + +But they are too late. The man sells the plants to other people. He makes a lot of money. He does not care about Tom and Jen.

She was happy and said, "Good boys! You ate your prunes. You are honest and brave. Yes, you can have cookies now." She gave them each a cookie and a glass of milk. + +Sam and Tom were happy too. They ate their cookies and drank their milk. They thought they were clever and sneaky. But they were not. The prunes under their seats started to smell bad.

If you do, I will give you my expensive car toy." + +Ben loved the car toy. It was shiny and fast. He wanted to have it, but he was also afraid of the snake. He looked at Sam and the snake. He did not know what to do. + +"Come on, Ben, don't be a chicken!" Sam said. "It's just a snake. It won't hurt you." + +Ben decided to be brave.

"The snake bit me! It hurts!" + +Sam was shocked. He ran to Ben and saw his hand was red and swollen. He felt sorry for Ben and scared of the snake. He dropped the car toy and called for help. + +"Help, help, help!" Sam shouted. "My brother is hurt! The snake bit him!" + +But no one heard them. They were too far from the people and the cars. They were alone with the snake. The snake was angry and hungry. It slithered towards them and opened its mouth. Ben and Sam were in trouble. They wished they had never seen the snake. They wished they had never played the dare. They wished they had listened to Ben. But it was too late. The snake was faster than them. The snake ate them both. The end. +Tim and Sam were twins who liked to play. One day, they saw a big tent in the park. They ran to see what was inside. They saw many people and animals and colors. They also saw a clown. The clown had a big red nose and a funny hat. He smiled at Tim and Sam and said, "Hello, little boys. Do you want to see a trick?" + +Tim and Sam nodded. They liked tricks. The clown took out a big gray box. He said, "This is a magic box. It can make anything fit inside. Watch." He opened the box and put a big ball inside. Then he closed the box and opened it again.

He grabbed Tim and Sam by their arms and dragged them to the box. He tried to push them inside, but they did not fit. They were too big. They kicked and screamed and cried. They wanted to get away from the clown. + +The people in the tent heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw the clown and the twins and the box. They were angry and scared. They yelled at the clown and called the police. The police came and took the clown away. He was a bad clown. He wanted to hurt Tim and Sam. Tim and Sam were safe, but they were very sad.

She goes closer to look at it. + +"Maybe, Tim, but I don't see any spider. I see some dust and some drops of water. The cobweb is wet. Maybe it rained last night," she says. + +She reaches out her hand to touch the cobweb. She wants to feel how wet it is. But Tim stops her. + +"No, Liz, don't touch it! It is dirty and sticky. You will get your hand wet and dirty too. Here, take this cloth and wipe it off," he says. + +He gives her a cloth he found on the floor. It is old and torn, but he thinks it is better than nothing. Liz takes the cloth and wipes the cobweb off the wall. She sees the dust and the water on the cloth. She thinks it is interesting and fun. + +"Wow, Tim, look at this!

You are right, it does look like a star or a flower. Maybe we can keep it as a souvenir of our adventure in the shed," he says. + +They fold the cloth and put it in their pocket. They are happy and proud. They continue to play and explore the shed. They find more old things and more cobwebs. They have a lot of fun. +Tommy loved to play with clay. He could make animals, cars, houses and anything he wanted. He liked to show his clay things to his mom and dad. They always said he was very good and gave him hugs and kisses. + +One day, Tommy wanted to make a clay dragon. He had seen a dragon in a book and thought it was cool. He took a big piece of green clay and started to shape it. He made a long tail, a big head, two wings and four legs. He used a toothpick to make scales and teeth. He was very proud of his clay dragon. + +He ran to his mom and said, "Look, mom, I made a dragon! Do you like it?" + +His mom looked at his clay dragon and smiled. "Wow, Tommy, that's amazing! You are very talented. I love your dragon." + +Tommy was happy. He said, "Thank you, mom. Can I keep it in my room?" + +His mom said, "Of course, honey. But be careful, don't break it. It's still soft and wet. You have to let it dry first." + +Tommy nodded. He carried his clay dragon carefully to his room. He put it on his shelf and admired it. He said, "You are my best clay thing ever. I wish you were real. I believe in you, dragon." + +He went to bed and fell asleep. He dreamed of flying with his dragon in the sky. + +But when he woke up, he saw something terrible. His clay dragon was gone. There was only a pile of green crumbs on his shelf.

He ran to his dog and tried to take his clay dragon back. But it was too late. His clay dragon was ruined. He cried and cried. He was very sad and angry. He said, "Bad dog, bad dog! You ate my dragon! I hate you, Spot!" + +His mom heard his scream and came to his room. She saw what had happened and felt sorry for Tommy. She said, "Oh, Tommy, I'm so sorry. Spot didn't know. He thought it was a toy. He didn't mean to hurt you." + +But Tommy didn't listen. He was too frustrated. He pushed his mom away and said, "Go away, mom. You don't understand. You don't care. My dragon was real. I believed in him. And now he's gone. I have nothing left." + +He threw himself on his bed and sobbed. He wished he could have his clay dragon back. He wished he could fly away with him. He wished he could forget everything. But he couldn't. He had lost his clay dragon forever. And he was very unhappy. +Lily loved her doll very much. She named her doll Rose and gave her a pink dress and a hat. Every day, Lily played with Rose and told her stories. She hugged her and kissed her and said, "You are my best friend, Rose. You are so charming and pretty." + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Rose. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She asked her mom, "Can I go on the slide, mom? Please, please, please?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can, Lily. But be careful and hold on tight. And don't forget your doll. She might fall and get hurt." + +Lily nodded and ran to the slide. She put Rose on her lap and said, "Are you ready, Rose? We are going to have fun." She climbed up the stairs and sat on the top of the slide. She looked down and saw how high it was. She felt a little scared, but she also felt excited. She said, "Here we go, Rose!" and pushed herself down the slide. + +She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smiled and laughed as she slid down. She felt happy and free. But then, something bad happened. Rose slipped from her lap and flew in the air. Lily screamed, "Rose! Rose!" and tried to catch her, but it was too late. Rose landed on the ground with a thud. Lily saw her dress torn and her hat gone. She saw a big stain on her face and a crack on her eye. She felt sad and angry. She cried, "Rose! Rose! You are broken! You are ruined!" + +She got off the slide and ran to Rose. She picked her up and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Rose. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. You are still my best friend, Rose. You are still charming and pretty." + +Her mom came to her and said, "Oh, Lily, I'm sorry too. I know you love your doll. But don't worry, we can fix her. We can wash her and sew her and glue her. She will be fine. She will rise again." + +Lily looked at her mom and said, "Really, mom? You can fix Rose?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, really, Lily. I can fix Rose. Come on, let's go home and do it. I have some tools and some magic." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom. And you are charming and pretty too." + +She held Rose in her arms and followed her mom. She felt hopeful and grateful. She said, "We are going to fix you, Rose.

She put her doll and some candy in it. + +"Can I see your purse?" Ben asked Lily. He was curious about what she had inside. + +"Okay, but be careful. It is very pretty and I love it," Lily said. She gave her purse to Ben. + +Ben opened the purse and saw the doll and the candy. He wanted to eat the candy, but he knew it was not nice to take things that were not his. He looked at the doll. It had long hair and a dress. He thought it was silly. + +"Why do you have a doll?" he asked Lily. "Dolls are for girls. Boys like cars and trucks and dinosaurs." + +Lily felt angry. She liked her doll. She did not care what boys liked. She snatched her purse back from Ben. + +"My doll is not silly. She is my friend. And you are not my friend. You are mean," she said. She turned away from Ben. + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily's feelings. He liked Lily. He wanted to make her happy. He thought of something he could do. + +He ran after Lily and caught up with her. He gave her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. Your doll is not silly.

She liked his hug and kiss. She forgave him. + +"Okay, Ben. I'm sorry too. You are my friend. We can play together again. But you have to be nice to my doll. And I will be nice to your cars and trucks and dinosaurs," she said. + +They held hands and went back to the park. They played and shared and had fun. They did not know that a big dog was watching them. The dog was hungry and angry. He saw Lily's purse and thought it was food. He decided to chase them and get the purse. He was dangerous. But Lily and Ben did not see him. They were too busy being friends. +Lily liked to sit with her grandma and watch her make stitch. Grandma had a big basket of colorful threads and needles. She would take a piece of cloth and draw a picture on it with a pencil. Then she would use the needle and thread to make the picture with stitch. + +One day, Lily asked, "Grandma, can I try to make stitch too?" + +Grandma smiled and said, "Of course, my dear. But you have to be careful with the needle. It can hurt your finger if you poke it." + +She gave Lily a small piece of cloth, a mild yellow thread, and a blunt needle. She showed Lily how to make a simple stitch by pushing the needle through the cloth and pulling the thread. + +Lily tried to copy Grandma, but it was hard. Her stitches were big and messy. She poked her finger once and said, "Ow!" + +Grandma said, "Don't worry, Lily. It takes practice to make stitch. You are doing very well for your first time. Here, let me help you." + +She took Lily's hand and guided her to make a small heart with stitch. Lily was happy to see the heart on her cloth. She said, "Thank you, Grandma. I love you." + +Grandma hugged her and said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love your stitch. You are a clever girl." +Ben loved to play with his grandpa's old things.

He wanted to show him his costume. But when he got there, he saw that his grandpa had no mustache. He had shaved it off. + +"Grandpa, where is your mustache?" Ben asked. + +"I decided to replace it with a new look," his grandpa said. "Do you like it?" + +Ben did not like it. He liked his grandpa's mustache. It was ancient and soft and tickled his face when he hugged him. + +"Grandpa, I have an idea," Ben said. "You can have my mustache. It is very nice and big and curly." + +He took off the mustache and stuck it on his grandpa's face. His grandpa laughed and thanked him. + +"Now you look like a detective too," Ben said. + +They both smiled and hugged. Ben was happy to share his mustache with his grandpa.

He wishes Sam was here. He wishes he listened to Sam. He wishes he did not play with the tractor. +Ben and Lily were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. The sky was gloomy and the wind was cold, but they did not mind. They were having fun. + +But then, a big noise came from the house. It was their mom. She was angry. She shouted at them to come inside. "Ben! Lily! Shut the door and come here now! It is going to rain soon and you will get wet and sick!" + +Ben and Lily did not want to go inside. They wanted to play more. They looked at each other and frowned. They did not like it when mom was angry. They did not like it when it rained. They slowly walked to the door and shut it behind them. They heard the rain start to fall on the roof. + +Mom was waiting for them in the kitchen. She had a stern look on her face. She pointed at their shoes. "Look at your shoes! They are dirty and muddy! You have made a mess on the floor! Go and take them off and put them on the mat. Then wash your hands and face. And no more playing outside today. You can play with your toys in your room." + +Ben and Lily sighed. They did what mom said. They took off their shoes and put them on the mat. They washed their hands and face. They went to their room and played with their toys. But they were not happy. They missed their ball. They missed the ground. They missed the gloomy sky. They wished they could play outside again. +Once upon a time, there was a small bunny named Benny. Benny loved to play with his friends in the forest. One day, Benny and his friends were looking for fun things to do. + +"I want to play hide and seek!" said Benny. + +"Okay, but let's make it more fun," said his friend, Sally. + +They decided to play hide and seek with a twist. Whoever got caught had to squeeze a lemon in their mouth. Benny was very small, so he thought he would be good at hiding. But when it was his turn to hide, he couldn't find a good spot. + +Suddenly, he heard his friend, Tommy, giggling. Benny followed the sound and found Tommy hiding behind a bush. Benny tagged Tommy and Tommy had to squeeze the lemon. Benny was so happy that he found his friend and they all had fun playing together. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the snow. One day, Lily went outside to play and she forgot her mitten. It was very cold and her hand felt terrible without it. + +Lily decided to go back inside to get her mitten. When she came back outside, she saw a bird flying in the sky. She wanted to watch it, but suddenly the bird paused in the air. Lily was surprised and wondered why the bird paused. + +Then, Lily realized that the bird was looking for a place to land. So, she started to walk slowly and quietly, not to scare the bird. Finally, the bird found a tree to rest on. Lily was happy to see the bird resting and she went back inside to warm up her hand with her mitten. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy had long hair that needed to be cut, so his mommy took him to the barber. The barber had a big chair that went up and down, and Timmy sat in it while the barber cut his hair. + +Suddenly, the barber smelled something bad. He looked over and saw that Timmy's hair was burning! The barber quickly put out the fire with some water and made sure Timmy was okay. + +After that scary moment, Timmy's hair was all cut and he looked very handsome. He thanked the barber and went home with his mommy, feeling happy and safe. +Once upon a time, there was a dog named Max. Max was very loyal to his owner, a little girl named Lily. Max loved to go outside and play with Lily in the park. They would run and jump and have so much fun together. + +One day, Lily's friend told her a lie. She said that Max was not a good dog and that he would bite people. Lily knew that this was not the truth because Max had never bitten anyone before.

They stopped fighting and worked together. + +As they colored the rock, they saw that it was more fun to share and create something together. They were no longer impatient, and they had a beautiful, colorful rock to show for it. + +From that day on, Lucy and Tom learned to share and play together. They knew that working together was better than fighting. And they always remembered the colorful rock that taught them to be friends. +One day, a little boy named Tim went for a walk with his mom. It was a gloomy day, and the sky was gray. They walked past a big billboard with a funny picture on it. Tim laughed and pointed at the billboard. "Look, Mom!" he said. + +His mom looked up and smiled. "Yes, Tim, that's a funny billboard. Do you like it?" she asked. Tim nodded and said, "I do! Can we accept it and take it home?"

He asks his mom if he can go. + +"Mom, can I go play baseball with Sam and Lily?" he says. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful and come back before dark," his mom says. + +Ben is excited.

Sam says. + +"Yes, I am, let's go!" Ben says. + +They take turns hitting the ball and running to the base. Ben is very good at hitting. He swings his bat hard and sends the ball far.

She reads him a story and tucks him in bed. + +Ben falls asleep with a smile on his face. He dreams of baseball. +Lily and Ben were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to do something new and fun. + +"Let's go to the attic!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find something incredible there." + +"What is the attic?" Lily asked. She had never been there before. + +"It is a big room at the top of the house. It has a lot of old things that Mom and Dad don't use anymore. Come on, I will show you." Ben said. He took Lily's hand and led her to the stairs. + +They climbed up the stairs and opened the door to the attic. It was dark and dusty, but they saw many boxes and bags and furniture. They started to explore and look for treasures. + +"Look, Lily, I found a hat!" Ben said. He put on a big hat with feathers and flowers. "Do I look funny?" + +"Yes, you do!" Lily said. She laughed and clapped her hands. "And look, I found a book!" She picked up a book with colorful pictures and words. "Can you read it to me?" + +"Sure, I can try." Ben said. He sat down next to Lily and opened the book. "It is a story about a boy and a girl who add things together. They add one and one and get two. They add two and two and get four. They add four and four and get eight. And so on." + +"Wow, that is incredible!" Lily said. She was amazed by the numbers. "Can we add things too?" + +"Of course we can!" Ben said. He looked around and saw some balls and blocks and dolls. "Let's add these things and see what we get." + +They began to add things together and count them. They had fun and learned a lot. They forgot about being bored and enjoyed their time in the attic. +Tom was a brave boy who liked to help animals. One day, he saw a big dog with a hurt leg on the street. The dog was ugly and dirty, but Tom felt sorry for him. He went to the dog and said, "Don't be scared, I want to help you." + +The dog was scared at first, but he saw that Tom was kind and gentle. He let Tom touch his leg and wrap a bandage around it. Tom said, "This will help you heal. You need to rest and drink water. I will come back tomorrow and bring you some food." + +The next day, Tom came back with a bowl of food and a toy. The dog was happy to see him and wagged his tail. He ate the food and played with the toy. Tom said, "You look much better today. Do you want to come with me to my home?

Mom had cooked some meat in a big pot. She said it was good meat. + +But when Lily and Ben tried to eat the meat, they did not like it. It was tough and hard. They could not chew it well. They made faces and spit it out. + +"Mom, this meat is not good!" Lily said. "It is tough and hard. We do not want it!" + +Mom looked at the meat. She smelled it. She tasted it. She made a face too. "Oh no!" she said. "This meat is spoiled! It is bad meat. I am sorry, Lily and Ben. I did not know. We can not eat it. It will make us sick." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for Mom. They knew she tried to make a good lunch. They hugged her and said, "It is okay, Mom. We love you. Can we have something else for lunch?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, my loves. We can have some bread and cheese and fruit. They are good and fresh. And we can throw away the bad meat. Come on, let us go to the kitchen and make a new lunch." + +Lily and Ben followed Mom to the kitchen. They helped her make a new lunch. They ate the bread and cheese and fruit. They liked them. They were soft and sweet. They thanked Mom and said, "This is a good lunch, Mom. You are the best cook." + +Mom hugged them and said, "You are the best eaters, Lily and Ben. You are very brave and kind. I am proud of you." +Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the garden. She had a ball, a doll and a teddy bear. She loved her toys very much and always took good care of them. + +One day, her mother told her to stay in the garden and not to go near the hedge. The hedge was very big and thick and had many thorns. It was not safe for little girls to go there. Lily was an obedient girl and she listened to her mother. She played with her toys and had fun. + +But then, she saw a butterfly. It was very pretty and colorful. It flew over the hedge and Lily wanted to see it. She forgot what her mother said and ran after the butterfly. She threw her ball over the hedge and followed it. + +She did not see the thorns that scratched her arms and legs. She did not hear her mother calling her name. She only saw the butterfly that flew away. She was sad and lost. She did not know how to go back to the garden. + +She cried and cried until she heard a familiar voice. It was her father. He had come home from work and heard her mother looking for Lily. He found her behind the hedge and picked her up. He hugged her and kissed her and carried her to the garden. + +He gave her a band-aid for her scratches and a glass of water for her thirst. He also gave her back her ball, her doll and her teddy bear. He told her that he was glad that she was safe, but that she should never leave the garden and disobey her mother again. He told her that the hedge was dangerous and that the butterfly was not worth it. + +Lily said she was sorry and that she learned her lesson. She hugged her father and her mother and thanked them for loving her. She played with her toys and did not go near the hedge again. She was an obedient girl and she was happy. +Ben hated tight things. He hated tight shoes, tight hats, and tight hugs. He liked to be free and loose and run and jump. He did not like to sit still or be quiet. + +One day, Ben went to the zoo with his mom and dad. He saw many animals, but he did not like them. He thought they were boring or scary or smelly. He wanted to go home and play with his toys. + +But then he saw the otters. They were swimming and sliding and splashing in the water. They looked so happy and fun. Ben wanted to be an otter. He ran to the fence and tried to climb over. He wanted to join the otters. + +But his mom and dad saw him and stopped him. They pulled him back and said, "No, Ben, you can't go in there. It's dangerous. The otters might bite you or scratch you. And you can't breathe underwater. You have to stay with us." + +Ben was very angry and sad. He kicked and screamed and cried. He hated his mom and dad. He hated the zoo. He hated everything. He wished he was an otter. + +But then he felt something wet and cold on his face. He opened his eyes and saw an otter looking at him. The otter had jumped out of the water and licked his cheek. It made a funny noise and tilted its head. It seemed to say, "Don't be sad. I like you. You can be my friend." + +Ben was surprised and happy. He smiled and laughed. He reached out his hand and touched the otter's fur. It was soft and smooth. He said, "Hi, otter. I'm Ben. You're nice. I like you too." + +The otter wagged its tail and licked his hand. It jumped back into the water and waved at him. It seemed to say, "Come back and see me again. We can have fun together." + +Ben felt better. He hugged his mom and dad and said, "I'm sorry. I love you. Can we stay a little longer and watch the otters?" + +His mom and dad nodded and smiled. They said, "Of course, Ben. We love you too. The otters are very cute and friendly. Maybe they can teach you something about being free and loose and happy." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He watched the otters and learned from them. He did not hate tight things anymore. He liked to be free and loose and happy. He liked to be himself. And he liked to be an otter's friend. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play hide and seek. One day, they went to the park with their moms and found a big tree to hide behind. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Tom. She saw his shoes under a bush and ran to catch him. But when she got there, she saw that Tom was not alone. He was holding hands with another girl, who had long curly hair and a pretty dress. Lily felt a hot feeling in her chest. She was envious of the girl. + +She wanted to yell at Tom and tell him that he was her friend, not the girl's. But she did not want to make a scene. She decided to hide again and wait for Tom to find her. She hoped that he would leave the girl and come to her. She ran back to the tree and crawled under a low branch. She made herself very small and quiet. She peeked out from the leaves and watched Tom and the girl. + +They did not look for her. They did not seem to care that she was gone. They laughed and talked and played with a ball. They looked very happy. Lily felt a cold feeling in her stomach. She felt like crying. She wanted to go home. She wished that her mom would come and get her. But her mom was on a bench, talking to Tom's mom. They did not see her either. + +Lily stayed under the tree for a long time. She felt lonely and sad. She did not want to play anymore. She did not want to be friends with Tom anymore. She did not like the park anymore. She wanted to leave. She crawled out from the branch and looked around. She saw a big dog running towards her. It had sharp teeth and a loud bark. It looked angry. Lily was scared. She tried to run away, but it was too late. The dog caught her and bit her leg. Lily screamed. The dog dragged her to the ground. Lily felt a lot of pain. She wished that Tom would come and help her. But he did not. He did not hear her. He did not see her. He did not care about her. Lily was alone. She was hurt. She was sorry. She had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many leaves. Lily wanted to pick some leaves for her mom. She ran to the tree and reached for a green leaf. + +"Wait, Lily!" Ben said. "Don't pick that leaf. It is ancient. It is very old and brown. It will break in your hand." + +Lily looked at the leaf. It was not green and shiny like the others. It was brown and dry and had holes in it. She did not want to pick it anymore. She let it go and looked for another leaf. + +"Here, Lily. Pick this one." Ben said. He pointed to a yellow leaf that was still on the branch. It was bright and pretty. Lily smiled and thanked Ben. She picked the yellow leaf and held it in her hand. + +They both ran back to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They showed her their leaves and told her about the ancient leaf. Mom hugged them and said they were very smart and kind. She said she loved their leaves and would keep them in a book. Lily and Ben were happy. They had fun in the park and learned a new word. +Tim and Mia like to play with ropes. They can make knots and loops and swings. They have a big rope in the backyard. They tie it to a tree and a fence. They pretend it is a bridge. + +One day, they find a shiny thing in the garage. It is long and hard and cold. It is steel. They think it is a cool toy. They want to tie it to the rope. They think it will make the rope stronger and more flexible. + +They drag the steel to the backyard. It is heavy and noisy. They lift it up and wrap it around the rope. They pull and twist and bend. They make a big knot. They are happy. They think they are clever. + +They climb on the rope. They want to cross the bridge. They hold the steel. It is slippery and sharp. They lose their balance. They fall. The steel cuts their hands and legs. They scream. They bleed. They cry. + +Mom hears them. She runs to the backyard. She sees the rope and the steel and the blood. She is scared and angry. She calls for help. She hugs them. She says, "What have you done? This is not a toy. This is dangerous. You could have died. You are very naughty. You are in big trouble." +Tim and Sue like to play with their boat in the pond. They take turns to pull the boat with a string. They have fun and laugh. + +But one day, a big duck comes to the pond. The duck sees the boat and thinks it is food. The duck swims to the boat and bites the string. The boat goes away with the duck. + +Tim and Sue are angry. They shout at the duck. "Give us back our boat! That is not food! That is our toy!" + +The duck does not listen. The duck quacks and swims faster. The boat is too far for Tim and Sue to catch. + +Tim and Sue are sad. They sit on the grass and cry. They miss their boat. + +A man sees Tim and Sue crying. He asks them what is wrong. They tell him about the duck and the boat. + +The man feels sorry for them. He has a big net. He says he will help them get their boat back. + +The man walks to the pond. He throws the net over the duck and the boat. He pulls the net back to the shore. + +Tim and Sue are happy. They see their boat in the net. They thank the man and hug him. + +They take their boat and run to the pond. They play with their boat again. They are careful to watch out for the duck. They have fun and laugh. +Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They want to make a cake for Mom. They find a big bowl, a spoon, and a book with pictures of cakes. + +"Look, Ben, this cake is purple. Mom likes purple. Let's make this one," Anna says, pointing to the book. + +"OK, Anna. How do we make it?" Ben asks. + +Anna looks at the book. She sees some words, but she does not know what they mean. She sees some numbers, but she does not know how many they are. She sees some pictures, but she does not know what they are. + +"I don't know, Ben. Let's just try," Anna says. + +They see a bag of white powder on the counter. They think it is for the cake. They open the bag and pour some powder into the bowl. + +"How much do we need, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. Let's just measure with our hands," Anna says. + +They use their hands to scoop some more powder into the bowl. They think it is enough. They see a bottle of purple liquid on the shelf. They think it is for the cake. They open the bottle and pour some liquid into the bowl. + +"How much do we need, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. Let's just measure with our eyes," Anna says. + +They use their eyes to see how purple the mixture is. They think it is enough. They stir the mixture with the spoon. It looks like purple mud. + +"Is it ready, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"I think so, Ben. Let's put it in the oven," Anna says. + +They find a big pan and pour the mixture into it. They open the oven and slide the pan inside. They close the oven and wait. + +They do not know how long to wait. They do not know how hot to make the oven. They do not know that the powder is not for the cake. They do not know that the liquid is not for the cake. They do not know that they are making a big mess. + +Mom comes home. She smells something strange. She goes to the kitchen. She sees the bag of powder, the bottle of liquid, the book of cakes, and the bowl of purple mud. She sees Anna and Ben sitting on the floor, smiling. + +"Hi, Mom. We made you a cake. It is purple. You like purple," Anna says. + +Mom looks at the oven. She sees smoke coming out. She opens the oven. She sees a black and purple lump. She hears a beep. She sees a fire. + +"Anna! Ben! What have you done?" Mom yells. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with cards. The cards have pictures of animals. Ben shows Mia a card and asks, "What is this?" Mia has to answer quick. If she answers right, she gets the card. If she answers wrong, Ben gets the card. + +Mia is good at the game. She knows many animals. She answers "dog", "cat", "bird", "fish" and "cow". She gets five cards. Ben has only one card. He shows Mia his last card and asks, "What is this?" Mia looks at the card. She sees a big animal with a long nose and big ears. She thinks hard. She does not know the name of the animal. + +Ben smiles. He thinks he will win the game. He says, "You do not know, do you? This is an elephant. I get the card. I win the game." He reaches for the card. But Mia does not give up. She remembers something. She says, "Wait! I know the name of the animal. It is not an elephant. It is a trunky. I saw it in a book. It is a great animal. I answer right. I get the card. I win the game." + +Ben is surprised. He says, "A trunky? What is a trunky? I never heard of a trunky. Show me the book." Mia runs to her room and brings the book. She shows Ben the page with the picture of the animal. The book says, "This is a trunky. It is also called an elephant. It is a great animal. It can spray water with its nose." Ben looks at the book. He sees the word "elephant". He says, "Oh, you are right. It is a trunky and an elephant. You are smart. You win the game. You are a great friend." Mia smiles. She says, "Thank you. You are a great friend too. Do you want to play another game?" Ben says, "Yes, I do. Let's play again." They play another game. They have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play and run. One day, they visit a park with their moms. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. + +"Look, a slide!" Tom says. "Let's race to the top!" + +"OK, I'm ready!" Sue says. "One, two, three, go!" + +Tom and Sue run to the slide. They climb the steps fast. They reach the top at the same time. + +"Wow, we are both fast!" Tom says. + +"Who will go down first?" Sue asks. + +"You can go first," Tom says. "I will go after you." + +Sue smiles. She sits on the slide. She slides down with a whoosh. She lands on the ground with a thud. + +"That was fun!" Sue says. + +Tom nods. He sits on the slide. He slides down with a whoosh. He lands on the ground with a thud. + +"That was fun!" Tom says. + +They look at each other. They laugh. + +They run to the swing. They take turns pushing each other.

They pretend to be firefighters and put out fires. They use a hose made of paper and water from a bucket. They wear hats and coats and boots. + +One day, they see a big pile of ash in the yard. It is from a fire that their dad made to burn some leaves. Sara and Ben think it is a real fire. They run to the pile with their hose and bucket.

He says they have to clean up the ash and the water. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They do not want to clean up. They want to play pretend. They say they are sorry. They say they did not know it was ash. They say they thought it was fire. + +Their dad is still angry, but he is also kind. He sees that they were just having fun. He says he understands. He says he will help them clean up. He says they can play pretend again, but not with ash. He says they can use something else, like sand or dirt or rocks. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They hug their dad. They say they love him. They say they will be careful. They say they will find something else to pretend with. They run to the sandbox and look for something hard. They find some shells and stones.

Popcorn is their favorite snack. It is crunchy and salty and yummy. + +One night, they watch a movie about a brave princess and a funny dragon. Sara and Ben laugh and clap when the dragon makes jokes. They gasp and hide when the bad king tries to catch the princess. They cheer and hug when the princess and the dragon escape. + +But sometimes, Sara and Ben get bored of the movie. They want to play and explore. They peek at the other rooms in the house.

They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green door in the wall. It looked old and dirty. + +"Let's see what's behind the door," Lily said. + +"OK, but how do we open it?" Tom asked. + +Lily found a key on the ground. It was shiny and silver. She put it in the lock and turned it. The door made a loud click. She pushed it and it opened. + +"Wow, look!" Lily said. + +Behind the door was a hidden place. There were trees and birds and a pond. It was like a fairy tale. + +"Can we go in?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, let's go!" Lily said. + +They ran inside and explored. They saw frogs and butterflies and mushrooms. They had fun and forgot about the time. + +But then they heard a voice. It was angry and scary. + +"Who are you? What are you doing here? This is my place!" the voice said. + +They looked up and saw a man. He was old and mean. He had a beard and a hat. He was holding a stick. + +"Uh-oh, we have to go!" Lily said. + +"Run!" Tom said. + +They ran back to the door. But it was locked. The key was gone. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +"Ha ha ha, you can't get out! You are trapped!" the man said. + +They were scared and sad. They wished they never opened the door. They wondered if anyone would find them. They hugged each other and cried. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play near the harbor. They saw big boats and small boats and fish and birds. Sometimes they found shells and rocks and sticks. They had fun every day. + +One day, they saw a big scale near the water. It was for weighing the fish that the fishermen caught. Tim and Sam wanted to try it. They climbed on the scale and saw the numbers change. They laughed and jumped and made the numbers go up and down. + +But they were clumsy and did not see the sign that said "Do not touch". The scale was old and broken. It made a loud noise and tipped over. Tim and Sam fell into the water. They did not know how to swim. They screamed and splashed and tried to hold on to the scale. + +But the scale was heavy and sank fast. It pulled Tim and Sam down with it. They could not breathe. They could not see. They could not get out. They were scared and sad. + +No one heard them or saw them. They were gone. The harbor was quiet and still. The fish and the birds did not care. The boats and the fishermen did not know. The scale and the water did not change. Tim and Sam were no more. The end. +Jill and Tom were going to a hotel with their mom and dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags and got in the car. + +On the way, they saw a big sign that said "Welcome to the Humble Hotel". Jill asked, "What does humble mean, mom?" + +Mom said, "Humble means not proud or not fancy. The Humble Hotel is a nice and simple place to stay. It has clean rooms and friendly people." + +Tom said, "I don't want to stay at a humble hotel. I want to stay at a fancy hotel. A fancy hotel has a pool and a playground and a TV and a candy machine." + +Mom said, "Tom, we can't stay at a fancy hotel. It is too expensive and we don't have enough money. The Humble Hotel is good enough for us. We should be grateful and not complain." + +Tom was not happy. He crossed his arms and pouted. He did not say anything for the rest of the drive. + +When they arrived at the Humble Hotel, they checked in and went to their room. It was small and cozy, with two beds and a window. Jill liked it. She said, "Look, Tom, we can see the park from here. Maybe we can go there later and play." + +Tom did not look. He said, "I don't want to play at the park. I want to play at the pool. This hotel is boring and stupid." + +Mom said, "Tom, that is not nice. You should not say that about the hotel. The hotel is kind and generous. They gave us a free breakfast and a toy for each of you. Look, they even left a note for us." + +She picked up the note and read it. It said, "Dear guests, welcome to the Humble Hotel. We hope you enjoy your stay. We are happy to have you here. If you need anything, please let us know. We are here to serve you. Sincerely, the Humble Hotel staff." + +Jill said, "Wow, that is so sweet. They are very nice people. Thank you, Humble Hotel." + +Tom said, "I don't care. I still don't like it here. I want to go home." + +Mom said, "Tom, you are being very rude and ungrateful. You should apologize to the hotel and to us. You should also try to have fun and make the best of it. You might be surprised by how much you like it here." + +Tom said, "No, I won't. I don't want to." + +Mom said, "Tom, that is enough. You are in big trouble. You have to go to your bed and stay there until you are ready to say sorry. No TV, no candy, no toys for you." + +Tom said, "No, I don't. You can't make me." + +Mom said, "Yes, I can. And I will. Come on, Tom, let's go." + +She took Tom by the hand and led him to his bed. He kicked and screamed and cried. He did not want to go. He did not want to be at the Humble Hotel. He did not want to be humble. He wanted to be fancy. He wanted to be happy. But he was not. He was sad and angry and lonely. He wished he had not mentioned the fancy hotel. He wished he had been nicer to the Humble Hotel. He wished he had been more like Jill. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their dolls. They have a doll house, a doll bed, and a doll bottle. They pretend to be mom and dad. + +One day, Ben has a new idea. He sees a can of powder in the kitchen. He thinks it is milk for the dolls. He takes the can and goes to the doll house. He says to Lily, "I will feed the dolls. You go and play with something else." + +Lily is curious. She follows Ben. She sees him open the can and pour the powder into the doll bottle. She says, "Ben, what are you doing? That is not milk. That is powder. It is for making cakes. It will make the dolls sick." + +Ben does not listen. He thinks he knows better. He says, "No, Lily, you are wrong. This is milk. It is white and soft. It will make the dolls happy. Watch me." He puts the bottle in the doll's mouth and squeezes it. The powder comes out and covers the doll's face. The doll looks dirty and sad. + +Lily is angry. She says, "Ben, you are foolish. You made a mess. You ruined the doll. Mom will be mad at you. Give me the bottle. I will clean the doll." She grabs the bottle from Ben and tries to wipe the powder off the doll. But the powder sticks to the doll's hair and clothes. It is hard to remove. + +Ben is sorry. He says, "Lily, I am sorry. I did not mean to hurt the doll. I thought it was milk. I wanted to feed the doll. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily is kind. She says, "Ben, I forgive you. But next time, ask mom before you use something you do not know. And do not feed the dolls powder. Feed them water or juice. They will like that better." She hugs Ben and they go to the kitchen to find mom. They tell her what happened and ask for help. Mom is not mad. She is glad they are honest. She helps them clean the doll and the bottle. She says, "Ben and Lily, you are good children. But you have to be careful. Powder is not milk. It is for making cakes. Do you want to help me make a cake?" + +Ben and Lily are happy. They say, "Yes, mom, we want to help you make a cake. And we want to eat some cake too. Can we share some cake with the dolls?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can. But only a little bit. Too much cake is not good for the dolls. Or for you." She smiles and takes them to the kitchen. They make a cake and eat some cake. They share some cake with the dolls. The dolls look happy and clean. Ben and Lily are happy and clean too. They learned a lesson. They will not feed the dolls powder again. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, it is very hot. Sara and Ben are thirsty and tired. + +"Let's go to the shop and buy some ice cream," Sara suggests. + +"OK, that sounds good," Ben agrees. + +They walk to the shop. They see a big fan outside the shop. The fan makes cool air. Sara and Ben stand in front of the fan. They feel better. + +"Wow, this fan is nice," Sara says. + +"Yes, it is," Ben says. + +They see a man coming out of the shop. He is holding a big bag of ice cream. He is the shop owner. He sees Sara and Ben. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like my fan?" he asks. + +"Yes, we do. It is very cool," Sara and Ben say. + +"That's good. Do you know why I have this fan?" he asks. + +"No, why?" Sara and Ben ask. + +"Because I want to share my ice cream with you. I have too much ice cream. I can't eat it all by myself. Do you want some?" he offers. + +"Really? Thank you, mister. You are very kind," Sara and Ben say. + +They take some ice cream from the bag. They choose their favorite flavors. They thank the shop owner again. + +They sit on a bench and eat their ice cream. They are happy. + +"Wow, we are lucky today," Sara says. + +"Yes, we are. And we learned something too," Ben says. + +"What did we learn?" Sara asks. + +"We learned that sometimes, when we share, we get more. The shop owner shared his fan and his ice cream with us. He made us happy. And we made him happy too. Sharing is good," Ben says. + +Sara nods. She agrees. + +They finish their ice cream. They smile at each other. They are friends. They like to share. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big ladder near the wall. Tom wanted to climb the ladder and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go up the ladder!" Tom said. + +"No, Tom, that is not a good idea. The ladder is too high and we might fall. We should stay on the ground and play with our toys," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran to the ladder and started to climb. He went up and up until he reached the top. He looked over the wall and saw a big dog. The dog barked at Tom and showed its teeth. + +Tom was scared. He wanted to go down the ladder, but he did not know how. He was stuck on the top of the ladder. He cried for help. + +"Lily, Lily, help me! There is a big dog and I can't get down!" + +Lily heard Tom's cry. She was worried about Tom. She ran to the ladder and looked up. She saw Tom and the dog. She was scared too, but she wanted to help Tom. + +"Tom, don't worry, I am here. Hold on to the ladder and go down slowly. I will catch you," Lily said. + +Tom listened to Lily. He held on to the ladder and moved his feet down. He was still scared, but he trusted Lily. He went down and down until he reached the bottom. Lily caught him and hugged him. + +"Tom, are you okay? You were very brave, but you were also very silly. You should not climb the ladder without a grown-up. You could have hurt yourself or the dog," Lily said. + +Tom nodded. He was sorry for being silly. He was glad that Lily was his friend. He hugged her back. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I am sorry for not listening to you. You were right, the ladder was too high and the dog was too big. Let's go and play with our toys," Tom said. + +Lily smiled. She was happy that Tom was okay. She agreed to play with their toys. They left the ladder and the dog behind. They played in the garden and had fun. They were careful and safe. They were good friends. +Anna loves to dance. She dances every day in her room. She has a pink dress and a blue ribbon for her hair. She wants to show her dance to her family. + +She tells her mom and dad, "I have a surprise for you. Come to my room after dinner. I will perform a dance for you." + +Her mom and dad smile and say, "OK, Anna. We are excited to see your dance." + +After dinner, Anna runs to her room. She puts on her pink dress and her blue ribbon. She turns on the music. She waits for her mom and dad to come. + +Soon, her mom and dad knock on the door. They enter her room and sit on the floor. They watch Anna as she dances. She twirls and jumps and spins. She smiles and laughs. She is having fun. + +Her mom and dad clap and cheer. They say, "Wow, Anna, you are incredible! You are a great dancer. We are so proud of you." + +Anna bows and hugs them. She says, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you. I love dancing." + +They say, "We love you, too, Anna. And we love watching you dance." +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to draw with crayons. One day, they had many crayons of different colors. Lily wanted to draw a flower. Ben wanted to draw a car. + +"Can I have the red crayon?" Lily asked Ben. + +"OK, here you go," Ben said. He tried to give the red crayon to Lily. But he was clumsy. He dropped the crayon on the floor. The crayon broke into two pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "You broke my crayon!" + +"I'm sorry, Lily. It was an accident," Ben said. + +But Lily was angry. She did not want to share her crayons with Ben anymore. She grabbed the yellow crayon from Ben's hand. She scratched his paper with it. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouted. "You ruined my car!" + +They started to fight over the crayons. They pulled and pushed and yelled. They made a big mess. The crayons flew everywhere. Some of them snapped. Some of them rolled under the table. Some of them stained the carpet. + +Their teacher heard the noise. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben fighting. She saw the broken crayons. She saw the dirty paper. She was very upset. + +"Lily and Ben, what are you doing?" she asked. "You are not being nice to each other. You are not taking care of the crayons. You are not making beautiful drawings. You are making trouble." + +She took away all the crayons from them. She made them sit in the corner. She did not let them play with the other children. She did not let them have any fun. + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They wished they had not been clumsy. They wished they had not been angry. They wished they had shared their crayons. They wished they had drawn nice pictures. But it was too late. They had no crayons. They had no friends. They had no fun. The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They open the box and see many things inside. They see a hat, a ball, a doll, a car, and a brain. + +"A brain?" Sara says. "What is a brain?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is a toy. Let me take it and see." + +Ben takes the brain out of the box. It is soft and wet and has wires. He tries to squeeze it and pull it, but it does not make any sound or move. + +"This is a boring toy," Ben says. "It does not do anything." + +"Maybe it is not a toy," Sara says. "Maybe it is something else. Maybe it is a slow brain." + +"A slow brain?" Ben says. "What is a slow brain?" + +"I don't know," Sara says. "Maybe it is a brain that does not think fast. Maybe it is a brain that needs help." + +"Help?" Ben says. "How can we help a slow brain?" + +"I don't know," Sara says. "Maybe we can put it back in the box. Maybe someone else can help it." + +"Okay," Ben says. "Let's put it back in the box. Maybe it is not for us." + +They put the brain back in the box and close the lid. They take the other things and play with them. They forget about the brain. They do not know that the brain belongs to their dad, who is a scientist. He is working on a project to make a smart brain. He is not happy when he finds out that his kids have played with his brain. He tells them to never touch his brain again. He says it is not a toy, it is not a slow brain, it is a very important brain. Sara and Ben say they are sorry. They do not understand what their dad is talking about. They think he is silly. They think brains are boring. They like hats and balls and dolls and cars better. They think they are more fun. +Sara likes to eat tuna for lunch. She thinks tuna is tasty and good for her. She always asks her mom to make her a tuna sandwich with cheese and lettuce. + +One day, Sara opens her lunch box at school and sees something different. Instead of a tuna sandwich, there is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Sara does not like peanut butter and jelly. She thinks it is sticky and sweet. + +"Mom, why did you replace my tuna sandwich with peanut butter and jelly?" Sara asks her mom on the phone. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. We ran out of tuna this morning and I didn't have time to go to the store. I thought you might like peanut butter and jelly instead. Do you want to try it?" her mom says. + +"No, thank you. I don't want to try it. I want my tuna sandwich. Can you bring me one, please?" Sara says. + +"I can't, Sara. I'm at work and I can't leave right now. Maybe you can trade your sandwich with someone else. Maybe someone else likes peanut butter and jelly and has a tuna sandwich." her mom says. + +Sara looks around the cafeteria and sees her friend Ben. Ben has a tuna sandwich in his lunch box. Sara walks over to him and asks him if he wants to trade. + +"Hi, Ben. Do you like peanut butter and jelly?" Sara says. + +"Not really. I like tuna better. Why do you ask?" Ben says. + +"Because I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I don't like it. I like tuna better. Do you want to trade?" Sara says. + +"Sure, I'll trade with you. I don't mind peanut butter and jelly once in a while. Here, take my tuna sandwich. It has cheese and lettuce, just like you like." Ben says. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very nice. Here, take my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It has strawberry jam, just like you like." Sara says. + +Sara and Ben trade their sandwiches and smile at each other. They both enjoy their lunch and think it is tasty. Sara is happy that she has a tuna sandwich and a good friend. +Lila and Tom went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite was the seal show. They ran to the big pool and found a seat. + +"Look, there are the seals!" Lila said, pointing to the water. "They are so cute and shiny!" + +"Yes, they are!" Tom agreed. "And they can do tricks, too!" + +Soon, the show started. A man with a whistle came out and called the seals. They jumped out of the water and clapped their flippers. The man gave them fish and they ate them happily. + +Then, the man took out a big ring. It was red and blue and had stars on it. He threw it in the air and one of the seals caught it with its nose. The seal swam around the pool with the ring and then tossed it back to the man. + +"Wow, that was amazing!" Lila and Tom cheered. "Did you see that, Mom and Dad?" + +"Yes, we did!" Mom and Dad said. "That seal is very smart and talented!" + +The seal looked at Lila and Tom and winked. It seemed to say, "Thank you for watching me!" Then, it made a loud noise with its mouth. It sounded like a bell. + +"Ring, ring, ring!" the seal said. + +Lila and Tom laughed. They liked the seal's voice. They clapped their hands and said, "Ring, ring, ring!" + +The seal smiled and clapped its flippers. It was glad to have new friends. +Sam is a big boy. He goes to school with his friends. He likes his teacher, Miss Lee. She is kind and fun. + +Today, Sam has something to show. He brings a toy car to school. It is red and shiny. It can make noises and move. Sam loves his toy car. + +In the classroom, Miss Lee says, "Good morning, children. Today, we have show and tell. Who wants to go first?" Sam raises his hand. He is alert and excited. He wants to show his toy car. + +Miss Lee smiles and says, "OK, Sam, you can go first. Come to the front and show us your toy car." Sam walks to the front with his toy car. He says, "This is my toy car. It is red and shiny. It can make noises and move. Look!" He presses a button and the toy car makes a vroom sound. He pushes it on the floor and it moves. The other children clap and cheer. They think the toy car is cool. + +Sam feels happy and proud. He says, "Thank you for listening. Do you want to play with my toy car?" The other children nod and say, "Yes, please!" Miss Lee says, "That was a great show and tell, Sam. Thank you for sharing your toy car. You can play with it with your friends after we finish our lesson." Sam says, "OK, Miss Lee. Thank you!" He goes back to his seat with a big smile. He can't wait to play with his toy car and his friends. +Lily was very sad. She did not want to go to school. She did not like her uniform. It was blue and white and itchy. She wanted to wear her pink dress and her shiny shoes. + +"Mama, please, I don't want to go to school," she cried. "I want to stay with you and play with my dolls." + +Mama hugged Lily and kissed her hair. "I know, my sweet, but you have to go to school. You will learn many things and make new friends. And you will see me again in the afternoon. I promise." + +Lily looked at Mama with big eyes. "You promise?" + +Mama nodded. "I promise. And I have a surprise for you when you come back. Do you want to know what it is?" + +Lily nodded too. She liked surprises. + +Mama whispered in her ear. "It is a new dress. A pink dress with flowers and ribbons. And it is very soft and pretty. You can wear it tomorrow and show it to everyone." + +Lily smiled. She loved pink dresses. Maybe school was not so terrible after all. She gave Mama a big hug and said, "Thank you, Mama. I love you." + +Mama smiled back. "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go to school. You don't want to be late, do you?" + +Lily shook her head. She took Mama's hand and walked to the car. She put on her seat belt and waved to her dolls. She hoped they would not miss her too much. She also hoped that school would be fun and that Mama would keep her promise. +Tom and Anna were twins. They liked to go on journeys with their mom and dad. They had a big car that was comfortable. They could sit in the back and look out the window. They could also play with their toys and books. + +One day, they went on a long journey to visit their grandma and grandpa. They lived far away, in a big house with a garden. Tom and Anna were excited to see them. They had not seen them for a long time. + +"Are we there yet?" Tom asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We still have a long way to go," mom said. + +"How long?" Anna asked. + +"About two more hours," dad said. + +Tom and Anna sighed. They were bored and tired. They wanted to get out of the car and run around. They wanted to hug their grandma and grandpa and play with their dog. + +But they knew they had to be patient. They knew that the journey would be worth it. They knew that they would gain a lot of fun and love when they arrived. They knew that their grandma and grandpa would be happy to see them. + +So they tried to make the best of it. They sang songs, they told jokes, they counted cars and trees. They snacked on some cookies and juice. They cuddled with their blankets and pillows. They smiled at each other and at their mom and dad. + +They were a happy family. And they were almost there. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big red ball on the grass. They run to get it. + +"Look, a ball!" Tom says. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK!" Mia says. "But we have to be careful. Maybe it belongs to someone else." + +They kick the ball and throw it to each other. They have fun. But then, a man comes. He is angry. He says the ball is his. + +"Hey, you kids! That's my ball! Give it back!" he shouts. + +Tom and Mia are scared. They drop the ball and say sorry. + +"Sorry, mister. We didn't know it was your ball," Tom says. + +"Sorry, mister. We won't do it again," Mia says. + +The man picks up the ball and looks at them. He is still angry. He says they have to be punished. + +"You have to be punished for taking my ball. You have to sit on this bench and not move for ten minutes. And you have to hold up your fingers like this," he says. He holds up his index finger and his middle finger. "If you move or put down your fingers, I will come back and yell at you." + +Tom and Mia are sad. They don't like to be punished. They sit on the bench and hold up their fingers. They don't move. They are quiet. + +They look at each other. They are still friends. They are dependable. They don't leave each other alone. + +They wait for ten minutes. The man doesn't come back. They put down their fingers. They get up from the bench. They hug each other. + +"Are you OK?" Tom asks. + +"I'm OK. Are you OK?" Mia asks. + +"I'm OK. Let's go home," Tom says. + +"OK. Let's go home," Mia says. + +They hold hands and walk away. They are happy. They are friends. They are dependable. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with cars and balls.

We will go to the beach and have fun. We will leave tomorrow. Are you excited?" + +Tom and Sam cheered. They loved the beach. They wanted to swim and build sand castles. They hugged their dad and said, "Thank you, dad. You are the best. We will support you always." + +The next day, they packed their bags and got in the car. Their dad drove for a long time. He smiled and sang along to the radio. He looked happy and relaxed. + +They arrived at the beach. It was sunny and warm. The water was blue and clear. There were many people and animals. Tom and Sam ran to the sand. They took out their buckets and shovels. They started to make a big sand castle. + +Their dad joined them. He helped them dig and shape the sand. He said, "This is a great castle. You are very creative. I am proud of you." + +Tom and Sam smiled. They said, "Thank you, dad. You are very smart. We are happy with you." + +They finished the castle. They put a flag on top. They wrote their names on the wall. They took a picture with their dad. They looked at the picture. They saw their dad's bald head shining in the sun. They laughed and hugged him. They said, "We love you, dad. You are our hero. This is the best vacation ever." +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and jump. One day, they see a shiny thing in the grass. It is a jewel. It is red and sparkly. + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna says. She picks up the jewel and puts it in her pocket. "It is so pretty!" + +Ben nods. He wants to see the jewel too. He asks Anna to share. But Anna says no. She says it is hers. She runs away from Ben. + +Ben is sad. He follows Anna. He wants to be her friend. He sees a big dog. The dog is angry. It barks at Anna. Anna is scared.

He gives it to Anna. + +"Thank you, Ben!" Anna says. She hugs Ben. She is sorry. She shares the jewel with Ben. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He also liked to hide them under his bed, under his pillow, and under his blanket. + +One day, Tom's mom said they had to go to the dentist. Tom did not like the dentist. He was scared of the big chair, the bright light, and the loud noise. He did not want to go. He cried and kicked and said no. + +Mom said, "Tom, you have to go to the dentist. It is good for your teeth. The dentist will be nice and gentle. He will give you a sticker and a toy. You are a brave boy. You can do it." + +Tom was not sure. He still felt scared. He hugged his favorite car, a red one with a blue stripe. He said, "Can I take my car with me?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can take your car with you. It will help you relax. You can hold it in your hand or put it in your pocket. It will be your lucky car." + +Tom nodded. He put his car in his pocket and took Mom's hand. They went to the car and drove to the dentist. Tom felt his car in his pocket. He felt a little better. He thought, "Maybe the dentist will not be so bad. Maybe I will get a sticker and a toy. Maybe I am a brave boy. Maybe I have a lucky car." +Lily and Ben are going to the park with Mom. They want to play with the ball and the kite. Mom says they have to pack their things first. Lily and Ben run to their room and get their backpacks. + +Lily puts the ball and the kite in her backpack. She also puts her water bottle and her hat. She is a good packer. Ben is a naughty packer. He puts the ball and the kite in his backpack too. He also puts his toy car, his dinosaur, his crayons and his book. His backpack is very heavy and full. + +Mom calls them to go. Lily and Ben put on their backpacks and go to the door. Mom sees Ben's backpack and says, "Ben, what did you pack? Your backpack is too heavy and big. You don't need all those things for the park. You only need the ball and the kite." + +Ben says, "But Mom, I want to play with all my things. I am a good player. I can play with everything." + +Mom says, "No, Ben, you are a naughty player. You can't play with everything at the park. You have to share with Lily and the other kids. And you have to carry your backpack by yourself. It will make you tired and sore." + +Ben says, "But Mom, I don't want to share. I don't want to carry my backpack. I want to play with all my things." + +Mom says, "Ben, you have to listen to me. You have to pack only the things you need. You have to share with Lily and the other kids. You have to be a good player and a good packer. Or else, you can't go to the park." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes the park. He likes the ball and the kite. He doesn't want to miss the fun. He says, "Okay, Mom, I will be a good player and a good packer. I will take out the things I don't need. I will share with Lily and the other kids. I will carry my backpack by myself. Can we go to the park now?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, Ben, we can go to the park now. I am proud of you. You are a good player and a good packer. Come on, Lily and Ben, let's go to the park and have fun." +Anna likes to play in the garden. She likes to look for bugs and flowers. One day, she finds a big green caterpillar on a leaf. She picks it up and puts it in her hand. + +"Hello, caterpillar," she says. "You are so soft and fuzzy. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The caterpillar does not say anything. It just wiggles and curls up. Anna thinks it is shy. She puts it in her pocket and runs to the house. + +"Mommy, look what I found!" she says. "It is a caterpillar. Can I keep it?" + +Mommy looks at Anna's pocket. She sees a hole and some dirt. She sees the caterpillar poking out its head. + +"Oh, Anna, that caterpillar is filthy!" she says. "It needs to live outside, not in your pocket. It might get sick or hurt. And it might eat your clothes!" + +Anna feels sad. She does not want to lose her new friend. She does not want it to be sick or hurt. She does not want it to eat her clothes. + +"But, Mommy, I love it," she says. "It is so cute and soft. Can I keep it in a jar?" + +Mommy thinks for a moment. She knows Anna loves animals. She knows caterpillars turn into butterflies. She smiles and nods. + +"Okay, Anna, you can keep it in a jar," she says. "But you have to be very careful and gentle. You have to give it fresh leaves and water every day. And you have to let it go when it wakes up as a butterfly." + +Anna is happy. She hugs Mommy and says thank you. She runs to the garden and finds a jar. She puts some leaves and water in it. She puts the caterpillar in it. She puts the jar on her windowsill. + +"Good night, caterpillar," she says. "I hope you have sweet dreams. I can't wait to see you wake up as a butterfly." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with books. They had many books in their room, but their favorite was the big dictionary. The dictionary had many words and pictures that they could learn from. + +One day, Tom found a cheap toy car in the street. He was very happy and ran to show Lily. "Look, Lily, I have a new car! It is shiny and fast!" he said. + +Lily looked at the car and saw that it was dirty and broken. She did not think it was a good car. She wanted to play with the dictionary instead. "That is not a car, Tom. That is a piece of junk. It is ugly and slow. The dictionary is better. It has more words and pictures. Let me show you." she said. + +She took the dictionary from the shelf and opened it. She pointed to a word and a picture. "This is a car, Tom. A real car. It is big and red and has four wheels. It can go very far and very fast. Do you see the difference?" she said. + +Tom felt angry and sad. He did not like that Lily teased him. He liked his car and he did not care if it was cheap. He wanted to play with it and have fun. He snatched the dictionary from Lily and threw it on the floor. "No, Lily, you are wrong. This is not a car. This is a book. A boring book. It has too many words and pictures. I do not want to learn from it. I want to play with my car. It is shiny and fast. Do you see the difference?" he said. + +Lily felt shocked and hurt. She did not like that Tom threw the dictionary. She loved the dictionary and she did not care if it was old. She wanted to read it and learn from it. She picked up the dictionary from the floor and hugged it. "Yes, Tom, I see the difference. You are mean and rude. I am smart and nice. You do not like books. I do not like toys. We are different. Go away and leave me alone." she said. + +Tom and Lily turned away from each other and did not talk. They played with their own things and did not share. They felt lonely and unhappy. They wished they could be friends again. +Lily loved her new dress. It was pink and had flowers on it. She wanted to show it to her friend Anna. She put on her dress and ran to Anna's house. + +Anna was in her yard. She had a ball and a doll. She saw Lily and smiled. "Hi, Lily! You look pretty. Do you want to play with me?" she asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. She liked Anna. She was playful and kind. They played with the ball and the doll. They had fun. + +But then, a big dog came. It was black and had sharp teeth. It barked and ran towards them. Lily and Anna were scared. They dropped the ball and the doll and ran inside Anna's house. + +The dog grabbed the ball and the doll. It bit them and tore them. It made a mess. Lily and Anna watched from the window. They were sad. + +Anna's mom came. She saw the dog and the mess. She was angry. She shooed the dog away. She picked up the ball and the doll. They were ruined. + +She went inside and hugged Anna and Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, girls. That was a bad dog. It shouldn't have done that. Are you OK?" + +Anna and Lily nodded. They were OK, but they missed their toys. Anna said, "Mom, can we get new toys?" + +Anna's mom said, "Maybe, but not today. Today, we have to be thankful for what we have. We have each other, and we have a safe home. And we have Lily's beautiful dress. It's still clean and whole. The dog didn't get it." + +Lily looked at her dress. She was glad the dog didn't get it. She liked her dress. She said, "Thank you, Anna's mom. You are nice. And thank you, Anna. You are my friend. Can I share my dress with you?" + +Anna smiled. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are my friend, too. And yes, you can share your dress with me. We can take turns wearing it. And we can still play together. We don't need toys to have fun." + +Lily and Anna hugged. They were happy. They were thankful. They were playful. +Tom and Lily were playing chess with their old grandpa. Grandpa taught them how to move the pieces and how to say "check" and "checkmate". Tom and Lily liked chess, but they also liked to make jokes. + +One day, they decided to play a trick on grandpa. They took his chess pieces and put them in the freezer. They waited for them to get very cold and hard. Then they put them back on the board and pretended nothing happened. + +"Grandpa, do you want to play chess with us?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, my dear, let me see the board," grandpa said. He picked up a piece and felt it was very cold. He looked at it and saw it was wet. He realized it was ice. + +"Hey, what is this? These are not chess pieces, these are ice cubes!" grandpa said. + +Tom and Lily giggled. They thought it was very funny. + +"Sorry, grandpa, we wanted to make you laugh," Tom said. + +"Well, you did make me laugh, but you also made a mess. Look, the ice is melting and dripping on the table. We have to clean it up before it ruins the board," grandpa said. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They did not want to make grandpa angry or sad. They helped him wipe the table and the board. They also gave him a hug and said they were sorry. + +"It's okay, kids, I forgive you. But next time, please don't freeze my chess pieces. They are old and fragile, like me. They might break or crack. And I like them very much, because they remind me of my father, who taught me how to play chess," grandpa said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They loved grandpa and his chess pieces. They promised not to play tricks on him again. They asked him to teach them more chess moves. Grandpa smiled and agreed. They played chess together and had fun. +Tom and Lily were gifted twins who liked to play outside. They loved all the seasons, but their favorite was fall. They liked to see the leaves change color and fall from the trees. They liked to jump in the piles of leaves and make funny sounds. + +One day, they found a big pile of leaves in their backyard. They ran to it and started to jump and laugh. But they did not know that there was something hiding in the leaves. It was a small and furry animal with sharp teeth. It was a squirrel. + +The squirrel did not like the twins jumping on its home. It felt scared and angry. It wanted them to go away. So it came out of the leaves and bit Tom on his leg. Tom screamed and cried. He felt a lot of pain. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It bit me! It bit me!" Tom shouted. + +Lily heard her brother and ran to him. She saw the squirrel running away. She saw the blood on Tom's leg. She felt sorry and scared. + +"Are you okay, Tom? Let me see your leg. We need to tell Mom and Dad. They will help you." Lily said. + +She hugged Tom and helped him walk to the house. They told their parents what happened. Their parents cleaned Tom's wound and put a bandage on it. They called the doctor and gave Tom some medicine. They told Tom and Lily to be careful and not to play with wild animals. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson that day. They still liked to play outside, but they stayed away from the pile of leaves. They did not want to get bitten again. They found other ways to have fun in the fall. They were gifted twins who liked to learn new things. +Anna and Ben liked to play with water. They had a big spray bottle each. They filled them with water from the tap. They ran outside to the garden. They saw a pond with some ducks. + +Anna and Ben wanted to spray the ducks. They thought it was fun. They ran to the pond and sprayed water at the ducks. The ducks did not like it. They quacked and splashed. They tried to swim away. + +Anna and Ben sprayed more and more water. They wanted to see who could spray more ducks. They were competitive. They did not see that the pond was getting smaller. The water was going out of the pond. The ducks had less water to swim in. + +The ducks were sad and angry. They quacked louder and louder. They flapped their wings. They sprayed water back at Anna and Ben. Anna and Ben got wet and cold. They stopped spraying. They looked at the pond. It was almost empty. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for the ducks. They realized they were mean. They put down their spray bottles. They ran to the tap. They got a big bucket. They filled it with water. They ran back to the pond. They poured water into the pond. The pond got bigger. The ducks got happier. They quacked and splashed. They thanked Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben smiled.

They had tea parties, dress up, and read books. + +One day, Anna's mom said they had to go to the store. Anna wanted to bring Lily, but mom said no. "Lily might get lost or dirty at the store. You can play with her when we come back," mom said. Anna was sad, but she listened to mom. She gave Lily a hug and a kiss and put her on the bed. + +While Anna and mom were gone, a bad cat came into Anna's room. The cat saw Lily on the bed and wanted to play with her. But the cat did not play nice. The cat scratched Lily's face, pulled her hair, and bit her dress. Lily was scared and hurt. She cried for Anna, but Anna was not there. + +The cat got bored of Lily and looked for something else to play with. He saw a string hanging from the ceiling. The string was part of a mobile that Anna's dad made for her. The cat jumped and tried to catch the string. He pulled and pulled, but the string did not come down. Instead, the mobile fell down and hit the cat on the head. The cat ran away, meowing. + +Anna and mom came back from the store. Anna ran to her room to see Lily. She saw Lily on the floor, with scratches, bites, and tears. She saw the mobile on the bed, broken. She saw the cat hiding under the desk, hissing. Anna was angry and sad. She picked up Lily and hugged her. "I'm sorry, Lily. I should have taken you with me. Are you okay?" she asked. + +Lily smiled and said, "I'm okay, Anna. You are my owner and my friend. I love you." Anna smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my gifted doll. Let's go fix you and the mobile. Mom can help us." Anna and Lily went to mom and told her what happened. Mom was sorry and said, "That was a bad cat. He should not have done that. Let's go to the sewing room and make Lily and the mobile look new again." Anna, Lily, and mom went to the sewing room and worked together. They stitched, glued, and painted. They made Lily and the mobile beautiful again. Anna was happy and said, "Thank you, mom. You are gifted too. You can fix anything." Mom hugged Anna and Lily and said, "You're welcome, sweetie. You are gifted too. You can love anything." Anna, Lily, and mom laughed and hugged. They were a happy family. +Tim and Mia are playing with their toy cars. They like to make them go fast and make loud noises. Tim has a new car that is red and shiny. He says it is the best car ever. + +"Can I see your car, Tim?" Mia asks. She wants to play with it too. + +"OK, but be careful. It is fragile. That means it can break easily," Tim says. He gives Mia his car. + +Mia holds the car in her hands. She likes how it feels. She wants to test it. She puts it on the floor and pushes it hard. The car zooms across the room. + +"Wow, it is fast!" Mia says. She smiles. + +But then, the car hits the wall. It makes a loud crash. Mia and Tim run to see what happened. They see that the car is broken. The front wheel is off and the hood is bent. + +"Oh no, Tim, I'm sorry! I broke your car!" Mia says. She feels bad. + +Tim looks at his car. He feels sad and angry. He starts to cry. + +"You broke my car! You broke my car! It was fragile and you were not careful! Now it needs an operation!" Tim says. He snatches the car from Mia. + +Mia starts to cry too. She did not mean to break the car. She did not know it was so fragile. She wishes she could fix it. + +"I'm sorry, Tim, I'm sorry! Please don't be mad at me! Can we fix your car? Can we do an operation?" Mia says. She tries to hug Tim. + +Tim pushes Mia away. He does not want to hug her. He does not want to share his car. He does not want to play with her. + +"Go away, Mia!

Mom smiles and says, "Wow, what a wonderful train! You are very clever and creative. How did you attach all the cars together?" + +Tim and Mia explain how they used the ropes and clips. They say, "It was easy and fun. We can attach and detach the cars anytime we want. We can make different trains with different cars. Do you want to play with us, mom?" + +Mom says, "Sure, I would love to play with you. But first, let's have some lunch. You must be hungry after working so hard on your train. Don't worry, your train is fine. We can leave it here and come back later. Come on, let's go to the table." Tim and Mia nod and follow mom. They are hungry and excited.

He ran to the edge of the river and reached out his hand. + +"No, Max, don't!" Lily said. "The otter might bite you! It is wild!" + +But Max did not listen. He tried to grab the otter's tail.

She was angry. + +"Max, why did you touch the otter?" Mommy asked. "You know you should not bother wild animals. They are delicate and need their space. You could have hurt the otter too." + +"I'm sorry, mommy," Max said. "I just wanted to pet it. It looked so soft." + +Mommy sighed. She kissed Max's forehead and said, "It's okay, Max. I know you were curious. But you have to be careful and respectful of nature. The otter was scared and defended itself. Next time, just watch and admire from a distance, okay?" + +"Okay, mommy," Max said. He looked at the otter and said, "I'm sorry, otter. I hope you are okay." + +The otter looked at Max and Lily and gave a small squeak. Then it dived into the water and swam away. Lily and Max waved goodbye to the otter. They learned a lesson that day.

They agree to never go into the tent again. They are happy to be outside. +Lena and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. They try to be organized and put their toys in the right boxes when they are done. + +One day, they have a fight. Lena wants to play with the red car, but Max has it. Max does not want to share. He says, "This is my car. You have your own car. Go away!" + +Lena gets angry. She tries to grab the car from Max. They pull and tug. The car falls on the floor. Lena strikes Max on his lip. Max cries out. His lip hurts and bleeds. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees the car, the blood, and the tears. She is not happy. She says, "What happened here? Why did you strike your brother, Lena? That is not nice. You have to say sorry and share your toys." + +Lena feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, Max. I was mad. I did not mean to hurt you. Can we share the car?" + +Max nods. He says, "I'm sorry, too. I was selfish. You can play with the car. Can we hug?" + +They hug and make up. Mom smiles. She says, "That's better. Now, let's clean up your toys and put them in the right boxes. You have to be organized and respectful." + +Lena and Max agree. They work together to tidy up their room. They play with the car and other toys. They are happy and peaceful. +Lena and Ben love the festival. They see many things. They see big balloons, funny clowns, yummy food and loud music. They are very happy. + +They see a tent with many colors. They go inside. They see a lady with a big smile. She gives them paper and crayons. She says they can mark anything they want. + +Lena and Ben mark many things. They mark flowers, stars, animals and their names. They use red, blue, yellow and green. They make their paper very pretty. They show the lady. She says they are very good. + +They hear a bell. The lady says the festival is over. They have to go home. They are sad. They want to mark more things. The lady says they can keep their paper. She says they can mark more things at home. + +Lena and Ben say thank you. They take their paper. They hold hands. They go to their mom and dad. They show them their paper. They tell them about the festival. They say they had fun. Mom and dad say they are proud. They hug them. They go home. They are still happy. +Tom and Mia are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They are very happy. + +"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Mia says. + +"Yes, he is. But he looks cold. Maybe he wants some coffee," Tom says. + +Tom runs to the house and gets a cup of coffee from the kitchen. He does not see that the coffee is dirty. It has some dirt and leaves in it. He brings the cup to the snowman. + +"Here, Mr. Snowman. Drink this. It will make you warm," Tom says. He puts the cup in the snowman's hand. + +But the snowman does not drink the coffee. He does not move at all. He is frozen. + +"Mr. Snowman, why don't you drink the coffee?" Mia asks. + +But the snowman does not answer. He does not talk at all. He is frozen. + +Tom and Mia are confused. They do not know that the coffee is dirty. They do not know that the snowman is frozen. They think he is shy. + +"Maybe he does not like us. Maybe he is sad," Tom says. + +"Maybe he needs a friend. Maybe he is lonely," Mia says. + +They decide to make another snowman. They hope he will be nice to Mr. Snowman. They hope he will make him happy. They hope he will drink the coffee. +Ben and Sam were playing with rods in the yard. They liked to make shapes and towers with the rods. They had red rods, blue rods, and yellow rods. + +"Look, I made a star!" Ben said, holding up a yellow rod and four blue rods. "It is pretty and shiny." + +"I made a square!" Sam said, showing a red rod and three yellow rods. "It is big and strong." + +They wanted to make more shapes, but they ran out of rods. They looked around and saw a dull rod on the ground. It was brown and had dirt on it. + +"Can we use that rod?" Ben asked, pointing at the dull rod. + +"No, that is not a rod. That is a stick," Sam said. "It is not good for shapes. It is old and dirty." + +"But we need one more rod. Please, can we try?" Ben said. + +Sam did not want to use the stick, but he saw that Ben was sad. He decided to be nice and share. + +"Okay, fine. We can try. But I don't think it will work," Sam said. + +They took the stick and tried to make a shape with it. But the stick was too long and too bendy. It did not fit with the other rods. It made the shapes fall down. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Sam said. "The stick is ruining our shapes. It is not a rod. It is a stick. Let's throw it away." + +Ben saw that Sam was right. The stick was not a rod. It was a stick. It was not good for shapes. It was good for nothing. + +"Okay, okay, okay!" Ben said. "The stick is bad. It is not a rod. It is a stick. Let's throw it away." + +They threw the stick away and looked for more rods. They found some green rods and some purple rods. They were happy and made more shapes and towers with the rods. They had fun and forgot about the stick. +Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over them. One day, they both want the same book. It is a book about animals. They pull the book from each other. + +"Give me the book!" Tim says. + +"No, it is mine!" Mia says. + +They pull harder and harder. Then, they hear a loud rip. They have torn the book in half. They look at the book and feel sad. They have broken their favorite book. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees the torn book and the twins. She is very serious. She is not happy. + +"Tim and Mia, what did you do?" Mom asks. + +"We tore the book, Mom. We are sorry." Tim and Mia say. + +Mom sighs. She is not angry, but she is disappointed. She loves her twins, but she wants them to share and be kind. + +"Tim and Mia, you need to learn to take turns and respect your things. Books are not for tearing. They are for reading and learning. How would you feel if someone tore your toys or your clothes?" Mom says. + +Tim and Mia think. They would feel sad and mad if someone tore their things. They realize they were wrong. They hug Mom and say sorry again. + +Mom hugs them back. She is glad they are sorry. She forgives them. She tells them to sit on the seat and read the other books. She will try to fix the torn book later. She hopes they will remember to be nice to each other and their books. +Lily liked to play with her computer. She had many games and pictures on it.

You can play with your computer later." + +Lily did not want to stop playing. She said, "No, mom, I want to play more. Please, mom, just a little more." + +Her mom said, "No, Lily, you have to be obedient. You have to listen to me. If you stop playing now, I will clap for you and give you a hug. If you do not stop playing, I will be sad and take away your computer." + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked her computer, but she also liked her mom. She did not want to make her mom sad. She wanted to make her mom happy. She decided to be obedient. + +She said, "OK, mom, I will stop playing. I love you, mom." + +She turned off her computer and put it away. She went to her mom and gave her a kiss. Her mom clapped for her and gave her a hug. She said, "Good girl, Lily, I am proud of you. You are very obedient. I love you, too." + +Lily smiled and felt warm in her heart. She ate her lunch and took a nap. She dreamed of playing with her computer again. She was happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. They also like to splash in the water. + +One day, they see a big wave coming. It is bigger than them. They are scared. They run to the shore. But the wave is faster. It catches them and makes them wet. + +"Help!" Anna cries. "The ocean is angry!" + +Ben grabs her hand. He is not afraid. He thinks the wave is fun. He laughs. + +"Don't worry, Anna. The ocean is not angry. It is just playing. We are fine. Look, we are still here." + +He points to the sand. They are on the sand. They are not in the water. They are safe. + +Anna looks at Ben. She sees him smile. She feels better. She smiles too. She laughs. + +"You are right, Ben. The ocean is just playing. We are fine. And we are still friends." + +They hug. They are happy. They go back to their sand castles. They play some more. They have fun. They love the beach. They love the ocean. They love each other. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy and had many legs. Lily thought it was cute and harmless. + +She reached out her hand and said, "Hello, caterpillar. Can I be your friend?" The caterpillar did not answer. It just wiggled on the leaf. Lily smiled and said, "I will take you home and show you to Mommy. She will like you too." + +She gently picked up the caterpillar and put it in her pocket. She ran back to the house, happy and excited. She did not see the sign on the fence that said, "Warning: Poisonous Plants". + +When she got to the house, she ran to the kitchen, where Mommy was making lunch. She said, "Mommy, Mommy, look what I found in the garden. It is a caterpillar. It is harmless and friendly. Can I keep it?" + +Mommy looked at Lily's pocket and saw the caterpillar. She gasped and said, "Lily, no! That is not a harmless caterpillar. That is a stinging nettle caterpillar. It can hurt you with its hairs. You have to put it back in the garden right now." + +Lily was confused and scared. She did not want to hurt the caterpillar or herself. She said, "But Mommy, it did not sting me. It was nice to me. Why is it bad?" + +Mommy said, "Some caterpillars are good and some are bad. This one is bad. It can sting you if you touch it or if it touches your skin. It can make you itch and swell and cry. You have to be careful when you play in the garden. You have to look at the signs and ask me before you take anything home." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I did not know. I will be careful next time." She took the caterpillar out of her pocket and put it in a jar. Mommy helped her take it back to the garden and put it on a nettle plant. Lily said goodbye to the caterpillar and hoped it would be happy. + +Mommy hugged Lily and said, "I'm glad you are okay, Lily. You are a good girl and a good friend. But remember, not all caterpillars are harmless. Some are dangerous and some are not. You have to be smart and safe when you play in the garden." + +Lily said, "I will, Mommy. I love you." Mommy said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's go have some lunch." They went back to the house, holding hands. Lily learned a lesson that day. She still liked to play in the garden, but she always looked at the signs and asked Mommy before she took anything home. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the garden. Lily has a big doll and Tom has a small car. They like to share their toys, but sometimes they want to keep them for themselves. + +One day, Lily sees Tom's car and thinks it is very shiny and fast. She wants to play with it, but Tom says no. He says it is his car and he does not want to share. Lily feels sad and angry. She thinks of a way to get the car. + +She says to Tom, "Let's play a game. I will close my eyes and you will hide the car somewhere. Then I will try to guess where it is. If I guess right, I can play with the car. If I guess wrong, you can keep it. OK?" +
