Brady asked. + +Dad thought for a moment, trying to figure out the best way to explain. +"Nosy means to ask questions and listen to what other people are saying when they don't want you to.

All around her were tall, slippery walls that blocked her from going any farther. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't climb them. All she could do was stand there in disappointment, knowing she would never make it to the top. + +But then she suddenly had an idea. She started searching around and found a rope that was just the right size to tie around her waist.

So, he cut the net and made it into two pieces. + +Jack didn't quite know what he wanted to do with the two pieces of net. He thought and thought and eventually decided to do something normal. He tied the two pieces together and it made a really big net. + +He took the net, ran outside and started to swing it around. He found it was really fun.

You did not respect each other. You need to learn how to be fair. Fair means you treat others the way you want to be treated. Fair means you share and take turns. Fair means you say please and thank you. Fair means you make peace and not fight." + +Tom and Mia say, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We were not fair. We want to be fair. We want to make peace. We want to share and take turns. We want to say please and thank you. We want to make you happy." + +Their mom and dad say, "We forgive you, Tom and Mia. We love you. We are happy when you are fair. We are happy when you make peace. We are happy when you share and take turns. We are happy when you say please and thank you. We are happy when you play nicely." + +Tom and Mia hug their mom and dad. They say, "We love you, mom and dad. Thank you for the toys. We will be fair. We will make peace. We will share and take turns. We will say please and thank you. We will play nicely." + +They put the toys back in the box. They clean up the mess. They take the box to the living room. They ask their mom and dad, "Can we play with the toys now? Please?" + +Their mom and dad say, "Yes, you can. But only if you are fair. Only if you make peace. Only if you share and take turns. Only if you say please and thank you. Only if you play nicely." + +Tom and Mia say, "We will, we will. Thank you, mom and dad." + +They crawl to the box and look inside. They see the toys. They smile. They choose a toy each. They say, "Can I play with this toy? Please?" + +They say, "Yes, you can. But you have to give it to me when I ask. Please." + +They say, "OK, I will. Thank you." + +They play with the toys. They do not fight. They share and take turns. They say please and thank you. They play nicely. + +They are fair. They make peace. They are happy. +Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together every day. One day, Tim said, "Let's visit the park. We can go on the swings and the slide." Lily said, "Yes, that sounds fun. But we have to ask our moms first." + +They ran to their moms and asked if they could go to the park. Their moms said yes, but they had to wear their new shirts. Tim and Lily did not like their new shirts. Tim's shirt was red and had a big truck on it. Lily's shirt was pink and had a lot of flowers on it. They thought their shirts were boring and ugly. + +They put on their shirts and went to the park. They saw some other kids playing there. One of them was Ben. Ben was not very nice. He liked to tease and make fun of other kids. He saw Tim and Lily and said, "Look at your shirts. They are so silly. You look like babies. Why don't you wear something more charming, like me?" He pointed to his shirt, which was blue and had a star on it. + +Tim and Lily felt sad and angry. They did not like Ben's words. They did not think his shirt was charming. They thought it was plain and dull. They wanted to say something back, but they did not know what. They wished they had their old shirts, which were more colorful and fun. + +Then, they had an idea. They looked at each other and smiled. They said, "You know what, Ben? You are right. Our shirts are silly. But we like them that way. They make us happy. And they have a secret. Do you want to know what it is?" Ben said, "What secret? There is no secret. You are just lying." Tim and Lily said, "No, we are not. Watch this." They pressed a button on their shirts. Suddenly, their shirts lit up and made sounds. Tim's shirt made a loud honk and flashed like a siren. Lily's shirt played a sweet melody and sparkled like a rainbow. + +Ben was shocked and jealous. He did not know their shirts could do that. He said, "Wow, that is amazing. How did you do that? Where did you get those shirts?" Tim and Lily said, "We got them from our moms. They are special shirts. They are not boring and ugly. They are fun and charming. And they are only for us. You can't have them." They stuck out their tongues and ran away. They went on the swings and the slide and had a great time. They did not care about Ben anymore. They were happy with their shirts and their friendship. +Sam and Lily were twins who loved to go on trips with their mum and dad. They had a big van that could fit all their toys and clothes and snacks. Sometimes they would sleep in the van when they went to the park or the beach or the mountains. + +One day, they went to the zoo to see the animals. They saw lions and monkeys and elephants and giraffes. They were very happy and excited. They wanted to see everything and learn their names. + +"Look, mum, a big bird!" Sam said, pointing at an ostrich. + +"That's right, Sam, that's an ostrich. It can run very fast, but it can't fly," mum said. + +"Why can't it fly?" Lily asked. + +"Because it's too heavy and its wings are too small," dad said. + +"That's funny!" Lily said, and started to laugh. + +Sam laughed too. They thought the ostrich was very silly. + +Then they saw a penguin. It was black and white and had a beak and flippers. + +"Look, dad, a small bird!" Lily said, pointing at the penguin. + +"That's right, Lily, that's a penguin. It can swim very well, but it can't fly," dad said. + +"Why can't it fly?" Sam asked. + +"Because it lives in a very cold place and its feathers are too thick," mum said. + +"That's funny!" Sam said, and started to laugh. + +Lily laughed too. They thought the penguin was very silly. + +They saw many more animals and had a lot of fun. They learned new words and asked many questions. They ate ice cream and popcorn and drank juice. They took pictures and made noises. They had a brilliant day. + +When they got back to the van, they were very tired and happy. They cuddled with their mum and dad and thanked them for the trip. + +"We love you, mum and dad," they said. + +"We love you too, Sam and Lily," mum and dad said. + +They drove home, singing songs and telling stories. They laughed and smiled all the way. They had a brilliant day. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big red truck with a loud siren. It was a fire truck. They wanted to see what it was doing, so they ran after it. + +"Look, Sam, the fire truck is stopping at that house!" Tim said. "Maybe there is a fire!" + +"Let's go closer and see!" Sam said. They were very nosy. + +They crossed the street and ran to the house. They saw smoke and flame coming out of a window. They also saw some firemen with hoses and helmets. + +"Wow, that's scary!" Tim said. "But also cool!" + +"Maybe we can help!" Sam said. He saw a big hose on the ground. He picked it up and tried to turn it on. + +"Sam, don't!" Tim said. "That's not for us!" + +But it was too late. The hose was on and it sprayed water everywhere. Sam lost his grip and the hose rolled away. It hit one of the firemen and knocked him down. The fireman was angry and hurt. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing?" he shouted. "Get away from here! You're making things worse!" + +He grabbed the hose and turned it off. He called his partner to help him up. He glared at Tim and Sam. + +"You two are in big trouble!" he said. "You could have caused a bigger fire or hurt someone! Where are your parents?" + +Tim and Sam were scared and sorry. They wished they had not been so nosy. They wished they had stayed away from the fire truck. They wished they had listened to Tim. They started to cry. +Tim liked to play soccer with his friends at the park. He had a ball, a net, and some cones. That was his equipment. He liked to kick the ball and score goals. He was good at soccer. + +One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Max. He had a bigger ball, a bigger net, and more cones. He said he was better at soccer than Tim. He said he wanted to play with Tim and his friends. + +Tim was anxious. He did not like Max. He did not want to play with him. He thought Max was mean and bossy. He wanted to play with his own equipment. He did not want to share. + +Max said he would show Tim how to play soccer. He said he would teach him some tricks. He said he would let him use his equipment. He said he would be nice. + +Tim did not believe him. He did not want to learn from Max. He did not want to use his equipment. He did not want to be nice. He wanted to quit. He wanted to go home. + +He told Max he did not want to play with him. He told him he did not like him. He told him he wanted to quit. He took his ball, his net, and his cones. He ran away from the park. + +Max was angry. He did not understand why Tim quit. He did not understand why Tim did not like him. He did not understand why Tim did not want to play with him. He was sad and lonely. + +He wished he had a friend to play soccer with. He wished he had been nicer to Tim. He wished he had not been mean and bossy. He wished he had not made Tim quit. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a blue dress and long hair. Lily liked to brush Anna's hair and make her talk. + +One day, Lily was playing with Anna in her room. She put Anna on a chair and said, "You are a princess, Anna. You are very good and pretty." Lily pretended to be a fairy and waved a wand. She said, "I will give you a wish, Anna. What do you want?" + +Anna did not say anything, because she was a doll. But Lily imagined that Anna said, "I want a friend, Lily. A friend like you." + +Lily smiled and said, "OK, Anna. I will make a friend for you." She waved her wand again and said, "Abracadabra, make a friend appear!" + +Lily looked around the room, but she did not see anyone. She felt sad and said, "Oh, no. It did not work. There is no friend for Anna." + +But then, she heard a noise behind the chair. She looked and saw a small kitten. The kitten was white and fluffy. It had blue eyes and a pink nose. It looked at Lily and Anna and meowed. + +Lily was surprised and happy. She said, "Wow, a kitten! How did you get here? Did you come from my wand?" + +The kitten did not answer, because it was a kitten. But it jumped on the chair and rubbed its head against Anna. It purred and licked Anna's hair. + +Lily laughed and said, "Look, Anna. You have a friend. A friend like me. A friend who is good and pretty. And soft and cuddly." + +Anna did not move, because she was a doll. But Lily imagined that Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. Thank you for my wish. I love you and I love my friend." + +Lily hugged Anna and the kitten and said, "I love you too, Anna. And I love our friend. You are the best dolls ever." +Lily did not like to bathe. She thought it was too cold and too wet and too boring. She wanted to play with her toys and watch her cartoons. But Mommy said she had to bathe every night before bed. + +"Come on, Lily, it's time to bathe," Mommy said. "You can choose your favorite soap and your favorite towel." + +"No, Mommy, no!" Lily said. "I don't want to bathe! I want to play!" + +Mommy sighed. She knew Lily was tired and cranky. She tried to be patient and gentle. + +"Lily, you have to bathe. It's good for you. It makes you clean and fresh and healthy. And it's fun! You can splash and sing and make bubbles. Please, Lily, don't make a fuss. It will only take a few minutes." + +Lily pouted. She did not think it was fun. She thought it was yucky and silly and hard. She did not want to be clean and fresh and healthy. She wanted to be dirty and cozy and happy. + +"Mommy, please, no!" Lily said. "I'm scared! I don't like the water! It's too loud and too deep and too fast!" + +Mommy hugged Lily. She knew Lily was not really scared. She was just trying to avoid the bath. But she also knew Lily needed some comfort and encouragement. + +"Lily, you're not scared. You're brave. You can do anything you set your mind to. You've bathed many times before, and you've always been fine. The water is not loud or deep or fast. It's warm and gentle and slow. And I'm right here with you. I won't leave you alone. I'll help you and talk to you and make you laugh. How about we count to ten and then we go to the bath?" + +Lily looked at Mommy. She saw Mommy's smile and felt Mommy's hug. She heard Mommy's words and knew Mommy loved her. She thought maybe Mommy was right. Maybe she was brave. Maybe she could bathe. + +"Okay, Mommy," Lily said. "Let's count to ten. And then we go to the bath. But only for a few minutes. And then we play." + +Mommy nodded. She was proud of Lily. She knew Lily was brave. She knew Lily could bathe. + +"Okay, Lily," Mommy said. "Let's count to ten. One, two, three..." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers and bugs. They also see a big plant with green leaves. Tom says, "What is this plant? It smells good." + +Lily says, "This is an herb. My mom uses it to cook. She says it makes food tasty. Do you want to try it?" + +Tom nods. He picks a leaf and puts it in his mouth. He bites it. He makes a face. He spits it out. He says, "Yuck! This is not tasty. This is bitter. I don't like it." + +Lily laughs. She says, "You have to cook it first. You can't eat it raw. It is not for biting. It is for cooking." + +Tom says, "Oh, I see. I'm sorry, herb. I didn't know. Can we still be friends?" + +The herb does not answer. It is a plant. It does not talk. But it does not mind. It is glad that Tom and Lily like to play in the garden. It is glad that they are curious and happy. It is glad that they are friends. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. Mom had a big tomato plant that gave many red and juicy tomatoes. Sara and Ben wanted to pick some for lunch. + +"Look, this one is big and ripe!" Sara said, pointing to a tomato. She reached for it, but Ben stopped her. + +"Wait, Sara. You have to rub it first. Mom said so. It makes it shiny and clean." Ben said. He took the tomato and rubbed it with his hands. + +"Why?" Sara asked. + +"Because sometimes there are bugs or dirt on it. And they are smelly and yucky. You don't want to eat them, do you?" Ben said. + +"No, I don't. Let me rub it too." Sara said. She took the tomato and rubbed it with Ben. + +They rubbed and rubbed, until the tomato was very shiny and clean. They smiled and put it in their basket. They picked some more tomatoes, rubbing each one carefully. + +They were happy and proud of their work. They ran to the kitchen to show Mom their tomatoes. + +"Wow, you did a great job, Sara and Ben! These tomatoes look delicious. Thank you for helping me in the garden." Mom said. + +"You're welcome, Mom. We rubbed them all. They are not smelly or yucky." Sara said. + +"That's right. You are very smart and careful. Now, let's wash our hands and make some tomato salad for lunch. How does that sound?" Mom said. + +"Yay, tomato salad! We love tomato salad!" Sara and Ben said. + +They washed their hands and followed Mom to the table. They enjoyed their lunch and their tomatoes. They were happy and full. +Lily loved her doll very much. She named her doll Anna and gave her a pink dress and a hat. She took Anna everywhere she went, even to the park. Lily liked to swing on the swings with Anna and pretend they were flying. + +One day, Lily met a boy named Max at the park. Max was bigger than Lily and he had a toy car. He saw Lily and Anna on the swings and he wanted to play with them. He ran over to Lily and said, "Can I see your doll?" + +Lily was scared of Max. He looked mean and loud. She hugged Anna and said, "No, this is my doll. Go away!" + +Max did not listen. He grabbed Anna from Lily and said, "I want to swing with your doll. She looks fun." + +Lily cried and tried to get Anna back. But Max was stronger and he pushed Lily away. He put Anna on the swing and pushed it hard. Anna flew in the air and landed on the ground. Her dress was torn and her hat was gone. She looked sad and broken. + +Lily ran to Anna and picked her up. She was angry and sad. She yelled at Max, "You are a bad boy! You hurt my doll! She is delicate and precious. You have to say sorry!" + +Max felt sorry. He saw that Lily was upset and that Anna was damaged. He did not mean to hurt them. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should have asked you nicely. Can I help you fix your doll?" + +Lily looked at Max. She saw that he was sorry and that he wanted to help. She said, "Okay, Max. You can help me. But you have to be gentle and kind. Anna is my friend and I love her." + +Max nodded and smiled. He said, "Okay, Lily. I will be gentle and kind. Anna is your friend and you love her. Can we be friends too?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, Max. We can be friends too. But you have to share and play nicely. Can we swing together?" + +Max agreed and they went to the swings. They swung together with Anna and had fun. They learned to be nice and respectful. They became good friends. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big dish on the grass. The dish is shiny and round. It looks like a moon. + +"Let's jump on the dish!" Lily says. "Maybe we can fly to the moon!" + +Tom nods. He likes to fly. They run to the dish and jump on it. The dish is not strong. It breaks with a loud noise. Lily and Tom fall on the grass. + +"Ow! That hurt!" Tom says. He rubs his knee. It is red and sore. + +"Sorry, Tom. I did not know the dish was weak." Lily says. She feels bad. She hugs Tom. + +A man comes to the park. He is angry. He is the owner of the dish. The dish is his art. He made it for a show. He shouts at Lily and Tom.
