He didn't know what he'd find, but he knew it would be something special. + +The walls of the cave were warm and cozy. There were lots of little rocks and pebbles. Suddenly, Ben saw a thin rope on the ground. He decided to grab the rope and give it a tug. The rope gave way, revealing a secret passage!

It had a big orange beak and he was surprised to see it. + +Suddenly he heard a voice, "Where did you come from?" + +Sam looked around to see where the voice was coming from. It was an old man sitting under a tree. + +Sam replied, "I came from my home. What about you?" + +The old man said, "I came from another village to catch this clever goose. You see, this goose is so clever that it escaped from my barn five times today. I'm so surprised at its cleverness!" + +Then Sam asked, "Why don't you just leave it alone? It wants to be free." + +The old man agreed and decided to let the goose go. He said, "You are right Sam. Animals should be free just like we are. We should not keep them locked up." + +Sam smiled in agreement. And the clever goose flew away into the sunset, free at last. + +The moral of the story is that animals should be free and we should respect their freedom. Sometimes the cleverest things are those that let animals be free. +Once upon a time, there were two friends called Tim and Jill. Every day, they would go together to the park to play.

Frustrated, Samantha followed it outside and kept chasing it until she ended up down the street. + +Exhausted, Samantha finally caught the mosquito just as it flew into a bush. But as she celebrated, she heard a loud voice calling her. It was her mom! + +"Samantha, what are you doing out here? You need to come back home right now!" her mom called.

But she was excited thinking about the next time she could explore outdoors and catch a mosquito. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Alee.

But then she thought of something. “Maybe, if we listen and help each other, there won't be any trouble. We can all be happy,†the sheep said. + +The herd leader said, “You’re right! Let’s talk, but with kindness.†+ +The sheep smiled. She knew that talking wasn’t bad - it was just a matter of how we talk. + +The moral of this story is that talking isn’t bad - it’s how we talk that matters. We should always talk with kindness so we can all be happy together. +Avery was in the car with her mom. She was very excited because her mom said they were going to the park. They drove down the street when Avery saw a green belt. It was so sparkly! + +Avery asked her mom, "What's that belt?" Her mom replied, "That's a seatbelt. It's to keep us safe while we drive." + +Avery asked, "Can I turn it on?" Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, I'll help you." She showed Avery how to click the green belt around her waist and said, "We have to make sure we always wear it. OK?" Avery said yes. + +They kept driving and Avery was enjoying herself when all of a sudden, the car started to speed very fast. Avery got scared and said, "Why are we going so fast?"

Avery felt much better. + +Avery and her mom had a great time at the park! +Wilbur the ant was walking through the desert, looking for his uncles. Suddenly, he heard a shout.

Wilbur was surprised and asked his uncle why he was slapping the cactus. + +Uncle Max said, "Wilbur, have you ever seen an icy cactus? No, you haven't! That's why I'm slapping this cactus. To make it colder." Wilbur was confused, but he went with his uncle anyway. + +They walked for a long time, until they reached a pond. Wilbur was about to take a drink when his uncle stopped him. Uncle Max said, "Remember what I was doing to the cactus? I'm going to do the same thing to this pond to make it icy." + +Wilbur was amazed. Uncle Max slapped the pond with both hands. It started to freeze instantly. Wilbur couldn't believe his eyes; the pond had gotten icy just like the cactus.

As they walked, they took in the warm air and blue sky. Suddenly, the child stopped and pointed. "Look!" he said, "AN eye!" +Momma smiled. "Oh sweetheart, that's a cloud. We see white clouds in the blue sky." +The child furrowed his brow, and listened intently to his momma. Then, he stretched out his index finger. "Look!" he said, "An eye!" +Momma squinted, scrunched up her nose and looked up. Then her mouth went wide open and she smiled. She wrapped her arm around her child's shoulders and gave him a warm hug. +"Do you see it?" she asked. +The child gave her a nod and said, "Yes! A big, warm EYE in the sky!" Then, he laughed and ran towards a nearby pond.

We're not able to do anything.†+ +The neighbors sighed sadly and watched as the fire grew bigger and bigger until nothing was left but a pile of smoking ashes. Despite their best efforts, the fireman hadn't been able to save the building. He sighed, shook his head, and walked away. + +The tragedy didn't end there. The cause of the fire was never discovered and the fireman had to stand by sadly as the ashes were cleared away. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Lucy who loved playing outside in the sunshine. One sunny day, Lucy went outside to play and saw her friend, Jack, playing with a fragile toy. Lucy wanted to play with the toy too, so she asked Jack if she could have a turn. + +Jack said no, and Lucy felt embarrassed. She started to walk away but then Jack called her back. He said he'd let her play, but that she'd have to be extra careful with his toy. Lucy was very happy and agreed. + +She carefully took the toy from Jack and played with it in the garden. Everything was going well until Lucy stumbled and the toy slipped from her fingers and broke into pieces. Lucy felt terrible. She felt so embarrassed that she ran away. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a lion named Skip. He was quite a clumsy lion - always spilling his food and tripping over his own feet. + +One day while he was walking through the jungle, he heard some strange noises. He looked around and saw a little boy. The boy was dancing and singing to himself. Skip was amazed! + +He asked the boy, "What are you doing?" + +The little boy smiled and said, "I'm skipping! Wanna join?" + +Skip was so happy - he had always wanted to try skipping. He tried his best to skip with the little boy but he was so clumsy he kept tripping over his own feet. The little boy laughed and helped him up each time. + +Eventually Skip got better and better at skipping. He was so happy he was finally able to do something he was too clumsy to do. + +The little boy and Skip skipped through the jungle together until the sun went down. It was the best day in the jungle ever! +Once upon a time, in a small town, there lived a little girl named Penny. Penny was only three years old, but she was very helpful. + +One day, Penny was walking in the park with her mom, when she saw something sparkly in the grass. "Mama, what's that?" she asked. Her mom bent down and picked up a white powder that was in the grass. + +"It looks like a kind of magic powder," said her mom. "Let's take it home, it might be helpful." + +Penny got very excited and she took the powder home with her. She and her mom put the powder in a special jar, and put it on a shelf in the kitchen. + +The following morning, Penny's mom found something strange in the kitchen.

She was so curious about all of the different food that she saw, and couldn't wait to try them all. One day, she was sitting at her little desk when her mom walked in and asked her what she wanted for dinner. + +The little girl thought for a moment and then mentioned that she wanted something delicious. Her mom smiled, and told her that she could make something special. + +When the dinner was ready, it smelled amazing. The little girl ran to the kitchen, and on her plate was the most delicious food she had ever seen!

The child smiled and waved, speaking in a tiny voice, “Hi crawly man!†+ +The man replied, “Hi little guy. I'm picking up some tasty treats from the store.†+ +The boy kept smiling, but something seemed strange about the man. He kept looking over his shoulder as he continued to crawl across the street. + +The boy's dad, who was driving the car, noticed the man and said, “Be careful, son. That man doesn't seem right." + +The boy nodded, but he still couldn't take his eyes off the man. The man finally reached the other side of the street and waved with a thin smile. + +As the car drove away, the boy turned to look out the window. To his horror, he saw the thin man pull a gun from his pocket and start shooting at a nearby store! + +The boy screamed and put his hands over his eyes. He never wanted to see the thin man again. +Once upon a time there was a fireman named Sammy. He was a very brave man who worked to save his neighbors from the fire. + +One day, Sammy had a very serious job to do. He had to save a kitten stuck in a tree. Sammy went to the tree and saw the kitten was very scared. He said, "Don't worry, little one. I'm here to help you." + +The kitten stayed in the tree and said, "I can't come down. I'm too afraid." Sammy remained calm and said, "I won't let you be scared. I promise I will get you safely out of the tree." + +Using a ladder, Sammy climbed to the top and saved the kitten. The kitten was so thankful that he ran around the tree and hugged Sammy's legs. + +Sammy showed the kitten that brave and serious people can do amazing things. He said, "If you remain brave, you can do anything!" +Cindy was a 3 year old girl who loved snow. She had been so excited to see all the white flakes falling from the sky.

The sky was a deep blue and the sun shone brightly, making the snow sparkle. Cindy giggled as she spun around in circles. + +She made a snow angel and thanked the sky for the snow. Then she made a snowman and smiled at how charming he was with his coal eyes and stick arms.

Cindy knew this was a day she would never forget. +Once upon a time, there was an enthusiastic little girl named Beth. She had a bag of sugar that she always liked to drop in her tea. + +One day, Beth was feeling especially enthusiastic and decided to drop a lot of sugar in her tea. She shook the bag and dropped one, two, three, four, five sugars into her cup. Then, she stirred it up with a spoon. + +"Yummy," Beth said. She smiled, but she could already feel the sugar entering her body. + +Suddenly, Beth felt a sudden surge of energy. She started running around the house, totally out of control. + +"Oh dear," her mom said, "You had too much sugar! You should slow down." + +But Beth was determined to keep going. She knew she could do it, no matter what her mom said. + +Time seemed to pass quickly and before she knew it, she was too tired to move. Beth had dropped too much sugar and her energy had disappeared. + +The next morning, Beth woke up feeling very tired and weak. She had what people experience after taking too much sugar and the over enthusiastic behaviour lead to her feeling sick. + +The moral of her story is that it is important to take a more balanced approach. Otherwise, bad things can happen. +John liked things to be normal. He went outside every day to play with his friends. He kept a diary so he would never forget any of his fun adventures. + +One day, something disturbing happened. John heard a loud noise coming from his neighbour's house! He asked his friends what the noise was, but none of them knew. He wrote the whole strange experience in his diary. + +John's neighbour, Mrs Smith, came over to John's house and explained the noise. "I was screaming in surprise when I found an unexpected guest in my kitchen," she said. "He was a little mouse, and he had been helping himself to my cereal!" + +John and his friends laughed at the story. Mrs Smith said the mouse was probably just looking for something normal, like the food he used to get at his own home. + +John realised the mouse was just like him in some ways—both were looking for the same thing. From that day, John was determined to always be kind to his little furry neighbours. +Once upon a time, there was a small boy who was very troubled. He often felt sad and he didn’t know why. One day, he decided he wanted to do something that would make him feel better. + +So he went to the bathroom and saw that it was very messy. He decided that he would try and make it clean. He looked around and saw a broom and a mop and he set to work. He worked really hard, cleaning the bathroom, until it was nice and sparkly. + +When the work was done, he looked around the bathroom and felt proud. He had done something to make himself feel better and it made him happy.

The dad got a very big truck and loaded the boxes, furniture, and the ladder. + +The truck started to move and went through many places. After a while the truck arrived, and it was time to unpack. +The dad and the son got out, and the dad told his son to get the ladder. The son looked in the truck and found the dirty, old ladder. He took it out and the dad started to unpack. + +The dad was someplace nearby, unpacking boxes when all of the sudden he felt a pull from the ladder. He saw his son trying to climb up the ladder! +The dad frightenedly yelled, "No, no! you can't do that! It's too unsafe!" + +The son, a bit nervous and scared looked at his dad and said, "But why?" + +The dad hugged his son with one hand and wiped the sweat of his forehead with the other and said, "Climbing up this dirty ladder is a dangerous thing to do, and you are too young. That is why it is important to listen to our parents and take this lesson to heart - if something looks too dangerous, then it often is." + +The son nodded, and they both walked inside. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was three years old. Her name was Jane. Jane liked to play in her backyard, and there was one special spot she liked best. It was a spot she called "mine".

"Someone else is playing in my spot!" + +A big boy, who was 7 years old, was playing with a ball in her spot. Jane shouted at him, "Hey, that's mine!" + +But the big boy ignored her, and kept playing. Jane was very angry. She started to scream, and stomp her feet. "That's MINE!" she yelled. + +But still, the big boy ignored her. So Jane pouted and walked away. Then, a few days later, Jane went back to her spot - and the big boy was nowhere to be seen. + +Jane was happy - it was finally hers again!

She smiled and nodded. + +The voice said, "Would you like to come over and take a look?" + +Sophie nodded and quickly ran over to the cage. She looked inside, and sure enough there was a little yellow bird looking back at her. She was so surprised and happy she couldn't help but nod in delight. + +Sophie thanked the friendly voice and then ran back to play. She couldn't wait to tell the other kids about the yellow cage. +Once upon a time there was a clever bunny. She loved playing pretend games. One day she had a big urge to fly like a bird. She hopped up and down, trying to jump high in the sky. + +"Can I really fly?†she asked her friend, the squirrel. + +“No, you can't, silly," answered the squirrel. "But you can pretend!" + +The bunny smiled and nodded. She closed her eyes and imagined she had wings. She hopped around and pretended she was soaring through the clouds. + +After a while, the bunny opened her eyes and saw that she was still hopping around on the ground. But the urge to fly was gone. She had found a way to make her wish come true – by using her clever imagination. +Once upon a time there was a girl called Lily. She was playing with her hammer and loved the sound it made when she struck it. + +One day, Lily was playing in the garden when her mom noticed. She told Lily to be careful with her hammer. + +"That is not how we use a hammer," she said. + +Lily was embarrassed. She put down her hammer and went inside. + +Later that day she practiced carefully with her hammer. She tried not to be too loud and even made some fun shapes with it. + +The moral of the story is that practice makes perfect. Whenever we try something new, we must be careful and take our time to learn the right way to do it. This way we can be proud of what we have done. +John was walking through the woods when something caught his eye. He stopped and peered into the distance.

He could see a pair of eyes that were blinking rapidly. John was afraid, so he stopped and shouted out "who's there?" + +Suddenly, a deep voice emerged from the barrel. It said, "Don't be scared. I'm just a friendly dragon." John was amazed. He asked, "Do you want to be my friend?" + +The dragon replied, "Yes! If you help me get out of this barrel, I'll be your friend for life!"

I told you that you can't have one today." +"But why not?" asked the little girl. + +Mom explained, "Because you've been naughty and disobedient. If you don't listen to mommy, you need to be punished." + +The little girl was very sad, but she knew that mom was right. She apologized and promised to be better. + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can have a waffle, but only if you promise to behave." + +The little girl happily agreed and enjoyed her waffle.

She did not get to admire the flowers anymore. +Lily and Ben were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They looked at their books, but they did not want to read them. They looked at their TV, but they did not want to watch it. + +"Let's go outside," Lily said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"OK," Ben said. They put on their shoes and coats and went outside. + +They walked around the yard, but they did not see anything interesting. They saw a bird, a flower, a rock, and a bug. They were boring. + +"Look!" Ben said. He pointed to a tree. "There is a monkey in the tree!" + +Lily looked up and saw a small brown monkey. It had a long tail and big eyes. It was holding a shiny thing in its hand. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "How did a monkey get here?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it escaped from the zoo. Let's go closer and see." + +They walked towards the tree, but the monkey saw them and made a loud noise. It threw the shiny thing at them and ran away. + +"Ow!" Lily said. She felt something hit her head. She picked up the shiny thing. It was a metal ring with a button on it. + +"What is this?" she asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it's a toy. Let me see." + +He took the ring from Lily and pressed the button. Suddenly, he felt a strange feeling. He looked at Lily and saw that she was very big. He looked at himself and saw that he was very small. + +"Help!" he said. "I shrank!" + +Lily gasped. She saw that Ben was tiny. He was smaller than her hand. + +"Ben!" she said. "What happened?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "I pressed the button and I shrank. Maybe the ring is a magic ring. Maybe the monkey stole it from a wizard." + +"Maybe," Lily said. "But how do we make you big again?" + +They looked at the ring, but they did not see another button. They did not know what to do. + +They heard a noise. They looked up and saw the monkey. It was back. It saw the ring and wanted it. It jumped from the tree and ran towards them. + +"Uh-oh," Lily said. "The monkey is coming. It wants the ring. What do we do?" + +"Run!" Ben said. "Run and hide!" + +Lily grabbed Ben and put him in her pocket. She ran away from the monkey. She hoped to find someone who could help them. She hoped to make Ben big again. She was not bored anymore. She was scared. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a man with a big bag of candy. The man smiles at them and says, "Hello, kids. Do you want some candy? I have many kinds. They are very sweet and yummy." + +Lily and Ben love candy. They run to the man and say, "Yes, please. We want candy. Can we have some?" + +The man nods and says, "Of course. You can have as much as you want. But you have to give me something in return. Do you have any money?" + +Lily and Ben shake their heads. They do not have any money. They only have their toys. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. + +The man says, "That's okay. You can give me your toys. They are very nice and fun. I will give you candy for your toys. Is that a good deal?" + +Lily and Ben think for a moment. They like their toys, but they want candy more. They nod and say, "Yes, that's a good deal. We will give you our toys for candy." + +The man smiles and says, "Good. Here, take this candy. It is very special. It will make you happy and strong. And give me your toys. Thank you very much." + +Lily and Ben take the candy and give the man their toys. They say, "Thank you, mister. You are very kind. We will eat the candy now." + +The man says, "You're welcome, kids. Enjoy the candy. Bye-bye." + +The man leaves with the toys. Lily and Ben open the candy and eat it. It is very sweet and yummy. They eat and eat until the candy is gone. + +But then, they start to feel sick. Their stomachs hurt and their mouths are dry. They feel dizzy and weak. They want to cry and call for help. But no one is around. They are alone in the park. + +The candy was not special. It was bad. It was not healthy. It was poison. The man was not kind. He was mean. He tricked them. He took their toys and gave them poison. + +Lily and Ben fall to the ground. They close their eyes. They do not wake up. They are gone. +Tom and Sue are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a laser gun that makes bright lights and sounds. Sue has a doll that can talk and sing. Tom likes to pretend he is a space hero and shoot his laser at the doll. Sue does not like that. She says, "Stop it, Tom! You are hurting my doll!" + +Tom does not listen. He says, "No, Sue! I am the best space hero ever! Your doll is a bad alien! I have to save the world!" He shoots his laser again and again. + +Sue gets angry. She grabs her doll and runs to the kitchen. She tells Mom what Tom is doing. Mom is not happy. She says, "Tom, come here right now!" + +Tom comes to the kitchen. He sees Mom and Sue. He sees Sue's doll. He sees a big hole in the doll's dress. He sees the doll's eyes are not working. He realizes he has broken the doll. He feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, Sue. I'm sorry, Mom. I was not a good space hero. I was a mean brother. I did not mean to break the doll." + +Mom says, "Tom, you have to be more careful with your toys and your sister. You have to be more humble and kind. You have to say sorry to Sue and help her fix the doll." + +Tom nods. He says, "Yes, Mom. I will do that. I will be a better brother and a better space hero." He hugs Sue and says, "I'm sorry, Sue. I love you and your doll. Can I help you fix the doll?" + +Sue smiles. She says, "It's okay, Tom. I love you and your laser gun. You can help me fix the doll. Maybe we can play together and be friends." + +Tom and Sue go back to the living room. They fix the doll and play nicely. Mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of them. They have learned a lesson. They have become more humble and more loving. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a man with a big cart. He had many lollipops in different colors and shapes. Anna and Ben wanted a lollipop very much. + +"Can we have a lollipop, please?" they asked the man. + +"Sure, you can have one each. But you have to pay me one coin," the man said. + +Anna and Ben looked in their pockets. They only had one coin. They did not know what to do. They both wanted a lollipop, but they did not want to make the other sad. + +"You can have it, Anna. You are my best friend," Ben said. He gave the coin to Anna. + +"No, you can have it, Ben. You are my best friend," Anna said. She gave the coin back to Ben. + +They did this for a long time. The man was getting impatient. He wanted to sell his lollipops and go home. + +"Come on, kids. Make up your minds. Who wants the lollipop?" he said. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They both had tears in their eyes. They did not want to choose. They wanted to share. They started to cry. + +The man felt sorry for them. He saw that they were very good friends. He decided to give them a surprise. + +"Here, take this. It's a special lollipop. It's big enough for two. And it's lovely. It has two flavors: strawberry and lemon. You can both enjoy it," he said. He gave them a big lollipop with two sticks. + +Anna and Ben stopped crying. They smiled and hugged each other. They thanked the man and took the lollipop. They each took a stick and licked the lollipop. It was delicious. They were very happy. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that sharing is caring. And that lollipops are better when they are lovely. +Sam and Mia liked to play on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. One day, they saw a big boat with a big anchor. They wanted to see it up close. + +"Let's go to the boat," Sam said. + +"OK, but be careful," Mia said. + +They ran to the boat and climbed on it. They saw the anchor hanging from a rope. It was heavy and shiny. + +"Wow, look at the anchor," Sam said. "Can I touch it?" + +"Maybe not," Mia said. "It might be dangerous." + +But Sam did not listen. He reached for the anchor and pulled on the rope. The rope was old and weak. It could not hold the anchor. It yielded and broke. + +The anchor fell down fast. It hit Sam on the head. He fell down too. He did not move. + +Mia screamed. She ran to Sam and tried to wake him up. But he did not wake up. He was hurt very bad. + +The sky was gloomy. The wind was cold. The boat was empty. Mia was alone. She cried and cried. She wished she had stopped Sam. She wished they had not gone to the boat. She wished they had stayed on the beach. +Ben loves animals. He wants to be a veterinarian when he grows up. He likes to help his mom polish the dishes after dinner. He thinks polishing makes them shiny and clean. + +One day, he finds a little bird on the sidewalk. The bird has a broken wing and cannot fly. Ben feels sorry for the bird. He picks it up gently and brings it home. He shows it to his mom and asks if they can take it to the veterinarian. + +"Of course, sweetie," his mom says. "The veterinarian can help the bird get better. But we have to be careful not to hurt it more. Let's put it in a box with some soft cloth and some water." + +Ben and his mom get in the car and drive to the veterinarian's office. They wait in the lobby with other people and animals. Ben sees a big dog, a small cat, a turtle, and a snake. He is curious about them, but he does not touch them. He knows they might be scared or sick. + +The veterinarian calls Ben and his mom. They follow him to a room with a table and some tools. The veterinarian looks at the bird and smiles. + +"Hello, Ben. I'm Dr. Lee. You did a good thing by bringing this bird to me. It has a fracture in its wing, but I can fix it with a splint and some bandage. It will need some rest and some medicine, but it should heal in a few weeks." + +"Thank you, Dr. Lee," Ben says. "Can I keep the bird as a pet? I will take good care of it. I will polish its cage and give it food and water." + +Dr. Lee shakes his head. "I'm sorry, Ben, but this bird is not a pet. It is a wild bird. It belongs in the sky, not in a cage. If you keep it, it will be unhappy and unhealthy. You have to let it go when it is ready to fly again." + +Ben feels sad. He likes the bird and wants to be its friend. He does not understand why he has to let it go. He thinks Dr. Lee is ignorant. He does not know how much he loves the bird. + +"Please, Dr. Lee, please let me keep the bird," he begs. + +"No, Ben, I can't do that. It is not good for the bird or for you. Trust me, I'm a veterinarian. I know what is best for animals. You have to be brave and kind and say goodbye to the bird when it is well. You can still love it from afar." + +Ben does not like Dr. Lee's answer. He feels angry and sad. He does not want to say goodbye to the bird. He wants to polish its cage and give it food and water. He wants to be a veterinarian and help animals. He does not want to be ignorant. He wants to be smart and good. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big kangaroo. The kangaroo is brown and soft. It has a pouch on its belly. + +"Wow, look at the kangaroo!" Lily says. "It can hop very high and fast." + +"Can we pet it?" Max asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is shy. Let's be quiet and kind," Lily says. + +They walk slowly to the kangaroo. The kangaroo sees them and stops hopping. It looks at them with big eyes. It does not run away. + +"Hello, kangaroo. We are Lily and Max. We want to be your friends," Lily says softly. + +The kangaroo sniffs them and makes a noise. It sounds like a laugh. It lets them touch its fur. It is warm and smooth. + +Lily and Max are happy. They smile and giggle. They give the kangaroo some grass and water. The kangaroo eats and drinks. It is hungry and thirsty. + +"Can we play with you, kangaroo?" Max asks. + +The kangaroo nods and hops away. It wants them to follow. Lily and Max run after it. They have fun. + +The kangaroo shows them how to balance on one leg. It is hard, but they try. They fall and get up. They laugh and try again. + +The kangaroo shows them how to hop on two legs. It is easy, but they hop too high. They land on the grass. They laugh and hop again. + +The kangaroo shows them how to curl up in a ball. It is cozy, but they roll too far. They roll into a bush. They laugh and roll again. + +They play until the sun goes down. They are tired and happy. The kangaroo gives them a hug. It is gentle and friendly. + +"Thank you, kangaroo. You are a good friend. We had a lot of fun," Lily says. + +"Bye, kangaroo. We hope to see you again. You are a great teacher. We learned a lot," Max says. + +They wave goodbye to the kangaroo. The kangaroo waves back. It hops away. It is peaceful and free. +Anna and Ben were playing in the castle. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. They had a sword, a shield, a crown and a dress. They ran around the halls and rooms, looking for dragons and enemies. + +One day, they found a door they had never seen before. It was big and wooden, with a lock and a key. Ben was curious. He wanted to see what was inside. He took the key and opened the door. He pointed to Anna and said, "Come on, let's go!" + +Anna was scared. She did not want to go. She said, "No, Ben, it might be dangerous. Maybe there is a monster or a trap. Let's go back to our room." + +But Ben did not listen. He pulled Anna by the hand and dragged her into the door. They entered a dark and cold chamber. There were no windows, no lights, no toys. There were only chains, bones, and spiders. Anna and Ben felt a shiver down their spines. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a huge, hairy, angry bear. It had sharp teeth, big claws, and red eyes. It was hungry and angry. It saw Anna and Ben and growled. It wanted to eat them. + +Anna and Ben screamed. They tried to run back to the door, but it was too late. The bear was faster. It blocked their way and reached out for them. Anna and Ben hugged each other and closed their eyes. They thought they were going to die. + +But then, something unexpected happened. Another door opened in the chamber. A man came in. He was tall and strong, with a beard and a cloak. He had a sword and a shield. He was a knight. He saw the bear and the children and shouted, "Stop, you beast! Leave them alone!" + +The knight fought the bear. He swung his sword and hit the bear. The bear roared and bit the knight. The knight pushed the bear and kicked it. The bear fell and ran away. The knight chased the bear and locked the door behind him. + +The knight came back to Anna and Ben. He knelt down and smiled. He said, "Are you alright, my little ones? I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here. This is my secret chamber, where I keep the bear. He is my pet, but he is not very friendly. I should have locked the door better." + +Anna and Ben opened their eyes. They were amazed and relieved. They said, "Thank you, sir, you saved us. You are very brave and kind. You are a compassionate knight." + +The knight hugged them and said, "You are welcome, my little ones. You are very brave and kind, too. You are my new friends. Come, let me take you to your room. And don't worry, the bear won't bother you again. He is very scared of me." +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot was a loyal dog. He always followed them and did not run away. + +One day, Ben and Lily saw a big slide in the park. They wanted to try it. They ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Spot ran after them and barked. + +"Spot, you can't go on the slide!" Ben said. "You are too big and furry. You will get stuck." + +"Stay here, Spot. We will be back soon," Lily said. She held Spot's hand and gave him a kiss. + +Ben and Lily slid down the slide. They laughed and had fun. They did not see that Spot was sad. He did not like to be left alone. He wanted to be with his friends. + +Spot saw a squirrel in a tree. He forgot about Ben and Lily. He chased the squirrel and ran away from the slide. He ran across the park and into the street. + +"Spot, come back!" Ben and Lily shouted. They saw Spot running away. They were scared. They did not want to lose their dog. + +They ran after Spot. They called his name. They hoped he would hear them and come back. They did not want to leave him. He was their loyal friend. +Lily liked to observe things. She had a big case full of things she found in the park, like rocks, leaves, feathers and bugs. She liked to look at them with her magnifying glass and learn their names and colors. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a new thing. It was shiny and round and had a hole in the middle. She picked it up and put it in her case. She wanted to observe it later. + +"Mom, look what I found!" she said, showing her the thing. + +"Be careful, Lily, that's a bottle cap. It might be sharp or dirty. You don't want to hurt yourself or get sick," her mom said, worried. + +Lily nodded, but she still wanted to keep it. She thought it was pretty and interesting. She closed her case and followed her mom to the playground. + +She played on the swings and the slide and had fun. But she forgot about her case. She left it on the bench when she went to get some water. + +A big boy saw the case and was curious. He opened it and saw all the things inside. He liked the shiny thing the most. He took it out and threw it in the air. He tried to catch it, but it fell on the ground and rolled away. + +Lily came back and saw the boy with her case. She was angry and scared. She ran to him and grabbed her case. + +"Hey, that's mine! Give it back!" she shouted. + +"Sorry, I was just looking. I didn't take anything," the boy said, lying. + +Lily looked inside her case and saw that the shiny thing was gone. She felt sad and cried. + +"Mom, he took my shiny thing! He lost it!" she sobbed. + +Her mom came and hugged her. She saw the empty hole in the case and understood. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. That was not nice of him. But maybe we can find another shiny thing for you. Or maybe we can make one with some foil and glue. Would you like that?" she asked, trying to cheer her up. + +Lily nodded, still sniffing. She liked the idea of making her own shiny thing. She wiped her tears and smiled. + +"Okay, mom. Let's go home and make a shiny thing. And next time, I will observe it better," she said. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with many leaves and a swing. One day, they saw a big bird with a red head and a yellow beak. It was sitting on a branch and making loud noises. + +"Look, a bird!" Ben said. "Can we play with it?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "It looks scary. Maybe it will bite us." + +They decided to get closer and see what the bird was doing. They walked slowly and quietly, trying not to scare it. But the bird saw them and flew away. + +"Come back, bird!" Ben shouted. "We want to be your friends!" + +The bird did not come back. It flew to another tree, far away. Ben and Lily felt sad. They wanted to see the bird again. + +They went back to their tree and played on the swing. They hoped the bird would come back another day. + +The next day, they went to the garden again. They looked for the bird, but they could not find it. They played with their ball and their dolls, but they still missed the bird. + +"Maybe the bird is gone forever," Lily said. + +"Maybe it will come back next year," Ben said. + +They did not know that the bird was a mighty parrot who liked to travel and see new places. It had come to their garden by mistake, and it had already flown away to another land. It would not come back next year, or ever. + +But Ben and Lily did not give up. They made a birdhouse out of wood and paint. They put some seeds and water inside. They hung it on their tree and covered it with leaves. They hoped the bird would see it and like it. + +"Maybe the bird will come back and live in our birdhouse," Ben said. + +"Maybe it will be our friend and talk to us," Lily said. + +They waited and waited, but the bird did not come back. They did not know that their birdhouse was too small and too quiet for the mighty parrot. It liked big and noisy places, where it could sing and shout. + +But one day, they heard a different sound. It was a soft and sweet sound, like a whistle. They looked at their birdhouse and saw a small bird with a blue head and a white belly. It was sitting on the roof and looking at them. + +"Hello, bird!" Ben said. "Do you like our birdhouse?" + +"Hello, hello!" the bird said. "I like it very much!" + +Ben and Lily were surprised and happy. They had a new friend who could talk to them. It was not the mighty parrot, but it was a lovely budgie. They named it Blue and played with it every day. They forgot about the parrot and loved their budgie. They learned that sometimes, small and simple things can make you happy. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign in the park. The sign is blue and has white letters. Sara and Tom want to read the sign. + +"What does the sign say?" Sara asks Tom. + +"I don't know. I can't read yet," Tom says. + +"Me too. But maybe we can guess," Sara says. + +They look at the sign and try to guess the letters. They see a B, an A, a L and a L. + +"Ball!" Sara says. "The sign says ball!" + +"Maybe. But what is the other word?" Tom says. + +They see an O, an U, a N and a D. + +"Ound. Ball ound," Sara says. + +"That doesn't make sense. Maybe we need to rub the sign," Tom says. + +He takes his hand and rubs the sign. He rubs hard and fast. He rubs so hard that he makes the sign dirty. The white letters become brown and black. + +"Oh no! What did you do?" Sara says. + +"I don't know. I just wanted to see the sign better," Tom says. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is the park keeper. He is angry. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing to my sign?" he says. + +Sara and Tom turn around and see him. They are scared. + +"We are sorry, sir. We just wanted to read the sign," Sara says. + +"Well, you can't read the sign now. You ruined it. The sign says 'Ball Ground'. It is where you can play with balls. But not now. Now you have to go home and learn how to read and how to respect signs," the park keeper says. + +He takes them by the hand and leads them to the gate. Sara and Tom feel bad. They wish they could read and play with balls. They promise to never rub signs again. +Ben and Mia like to jog with their dad every morning. They put on their shoes and hats and go outside. They jog around the park and see the birds and flowers. They feel happy and strong. + +One day, the sky is dark and the wind is loud. Dad says, "We can't jog today. There is a hurricane coming. We have to stay inside and be safe." Ben and Mia are sad. They like to jog. They don't like the hurricane. + +They stay inside and play with their toys and books. They hear the rain and the thunder. They hug their dad and mom. They are scared. Dad says, "Don't worry. The hurricane will go away soon. We are together and we love each other." + +After a while, the sky is bright and the wind is quiet. Dad says, "The hurricane is gone. We can go outside and see what happened." Ben and Mia are curious. They put on their shoes and hats and go outside. They see the park is messy. There are branches and leaves and trash everywhere. They see some people are cleaning and helping. Dad says, "Let's help them. We can jog and pick up the trash. We can make the park beautiful again." + +Ben and Mia nod. They jog and pick up the trash. They put it in a big bag. They see the birds and flowers are still there. They smile. They feel proud. They help their dad and mom and the other people. They make the park beautiful again. They jog back home. They hug their dad and mom. They say, "We are proud. We are helpers. We are joggers." Dad and mom say, "We are proud of you. You are brave and kind. We love you." They are happy. They are a family. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. Sam likes the red car and Ben likes the blue car. They make noises with their mouths as they zoom their cars on the floor. + +One day, they see a fox outside their window. The fox is brown and furry. It has a long tail and sharp teeth. The fox looks at the brothers and their cars. It wants to play too. It jumps through the window and runs into the room. + +Sam and Ben are scared of the fox. They grab their cars and run away. The fox chases them. It thinks the cars are food. It tries to bite the red car and the blue car. Sam and Ben do not want to lose their cars. They are competitive. They zoom their cars faster and faster. + +They run to their mom. She is in the kitchen. She sees the fox and the cars. She is angry and surprised. She shouts at the fox. She picks up a broom and hits the fox. The fox is scared of the mom. It drops the cars and runs away. It jumps out of the window and disappears. + +Sam and Ben are happy and relieved. They hug their mom and their cars. They thank their mom for saving them. They say they will not play near the window anymore. They go back to their room and zoom their cars on the floor. They make noises with their mouths and smile. +Jen and Ben were best friends. They liked to play and dance together. One day, they found a big box of crayons. They wanted to draw on the wall. + +"Look, I can draw a sun!" Jen said. She drew a yellow circle with orange lines. + +"I can draw a star!" Ben said. He drew a yellow star next to the sun. + +They drew more things on the wall. They drew a house, a tree, a cat, and a car. They were having fun. + +But then, Jen saw a dull crayon. It was gray and broken. She did not like it. She threw it at Ben. + +"Ow!" Ben said. He felt a pain on his head. He saw the dull crayon on the floor. He was angry. "Why did you do that?" he asked Jen. + +"I don't like dull crayons. They are bad." Jen said. She did not say sorry. + +Ben was hurt and sad. He did not want to play or dance with Jen anymore. He took his crayons and left. + +Jen was alone. She looked at the wall. She saw the sun and the star. She remembered how they drew them together. She felt sorry. She wanted to be friends with Ben again. + +She ran after Ben. She found him in the garden. He was sitting on a swing. + +"Ben, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should not have thrown the dull crayon at you. It was not nice. Can you forgive me?" Jen said. + +Ben looked at Jen. He saw her sad face. He remembered how they played and danced together. He felt sorry too. He nodded. + +"Yes, I forgive you. I'm sorry too. I should not have left. You are my friend." Ben said. + +They hugged. They were happy. They went back to the wall. They drew more things with the crayons. They even used the dull crayon. They made it into a moon. They played and danced again. They were best friends. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to look at the sky and see the different shapes of the clouds. Sometimes they saw animals, or cars, or faces. + +"Look, Lily, that cloud looks like a big bear!" Max said, pointing at a fluffy cloud. + +"I see it, Max, it's very big and round. And that cloud looks like a flower!" Lily said, pointing at another cloud. + +They giggled and imagined what the clouds were doing. They made up stories about the cloud bear and the cloud flower. + +Suddenly, they saw a very fancy cloud. It was shiny and sparkly, and it had many colors. It looked like a rainbow, but it was not a rainbow. It was a cloud. + +"Wow, what is that?" Max asked, amazed. + +"I don't know, but it's very pretty. Maybe it's a magic cloud!" Lily said, excited. + +They watched as the fancy cloud moved across the sky. It seemed to change shape and size. Sometimes it was small and round, sometimes it was long and thin, sometimes it was curvy and wavy. + +"Look, Lily, the fancy cloud is spreading!" Max said, noticing that the cloud was getting bigger and wider. + +"It is, Max, it's spreading all over the sky. Maybe it's sharing its magic with the other clouds!" Lily said, smiling. + +They clapped and cheered as the fancy cloud spread its colors and sparkles. They felt happy and wonderf +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bees. The bees made honey in their home. Honey was sweet and good to eat. + +"Look, Ben, there is a big jar of honey on the table," Lily said. She pointed to the jar that their mom had left outside. "Can we have some?" + +Ben nodded. He liked honey too. He ran to the table and took the jar. He opened it and dipped his finger inside. He licked the honey and smiled. + +"Yummy!" he said. "Here, Lily, you try some." + +He gave the jar to Lily. She did the same and smiled too. + +But then they heard a loud buzz. The bees had seen them take their honey. They were angry. They flew towards Ben and Lily. + +"Uh-oh, bees!" Ben said. He was scared. He did not want the bees to sting him or Lily. + +He put the jar back on the table. He grabbed Lily's hand and ran to the house. He shut the door behind them. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" he asked. + +"Yes, Ben, I'm okay," Lily said. "Thank you for protecting me from the bees." + +Ben hugged Lily. He was glad they were safe. + +"Next time, we should ask mom before we take honey," he said. + +Lily nodded. She agreed. + +They looked out the window. The bees had flown back to their home. The sun was shining and the sky was clear. + +"Maybe we can play in the garden later," Lily said. + +"Okay, but only if there are no bees," Ben said. + +They smiled and went to find their mom. They wanted to tell her about their adventure. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But then the sky became dark and the wind blew hard. They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. + +"Let's go home!" Lily said. She was scared of the thunder and the lightning. + +"OK," Tom said. He took Lily's hand and they ran to the gate. But the gate was locked. They could not get out. + +They looked around. They saw a big bush near the fence. It had many green leaves. + +"Let's hide in the bush," Tom said. "Maybe the thunder will go away." + +They crawled under the bush. It was gloomy and wet. They hugged each other. + +"I don't like this," Lily said. "I want to go home." + +"Me too," Tom said. "But we have to wait. Maybe someone will come and open the gate." + +They waited and waited. But no one came. The thunder and the lightning did not stop. + +Lily started to cry. Tom tried to comfort her. + +"Don't cry, Lily," he said. "We can pray. Maybe God will help us." + +"Pray?" Lily asked. "What is pray?" + +"Pray is when you talk to God," Tom said. "You can tell him what you want and what you are afraid of. He can hear you and he loves you." + +"OK," Lily said. "How do I pray?" + +Tom closed his eyes and folded his hands. He said, "Dear God, please help us. We are stuck in the park and we are scared of the thunder and the lightning. Please make them stop and please send someone to open the gate. Please take us home. Thank you. Amen." + +Lily copied Tom. She closed her eyes and folded her hands. She said, "Dear God, please help us. We are stuck in the park and we are scared of the thunder and the lightning. Please make them stop and please send someone to open the gate. Please take us home. Thank you. Amen." + +They opened their eyes and looked at each other. They smiled. + +"Maybe God will help us," Lily said. + +"Maybe he will," Tom said. + +They waited and waited. And then they heard a voice. + +"Hello, kids! Are you OK?" It was a man. He was wearing a uniform. He was a park ranger. He had a key. He opened the gate. + +Lily and Tom were happy. They ran out of the bush and hugged the man. + +"Thank you, thank you!" they said. + +The man smiled. He said, "You're welcome, kids. How did you get stuck here?" + +"We were playing and then the thunder came and the gate was locked," Tom said. + +"We were scared and we hid in the bush and we prayed," Lily said. + +"You prayed?" the man asked. + +"Yes, we prayed to God," Tom said. + +The man nodded. He said, "Well, I think God heard your prayers. Because I was on my way home when I saw the lightning and I decided to check the park. And then I saw you under the bush. You are very lucky." + +Lily and Tom looked at the sky. The thunder and the lightning were gone. The sun was shining. + +They looked at each other. They said, "Thank you, God." + +The man took them to his car. He drove them home. He gave them a hug and a candy. + +Lily and Tom said goodbye to the man. They ran to their house. They hugged their mom and dad. + +They told them what happened. They said, "We were stuck in the park and we were scared and we prayed and God helped us." + +Their mom and dad were glad. They said, "We are proud of you. You are brave and you have faith. God loves you and he listens to your prayers." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They said, "We love God and we love you." + +They ate their candy and they played with their toys. They were happy. They did not forget to pray. +Jen and Ben like to play golf with Dad. Dad has a big bag with many sticks. He hits a small ball with the sticks and tries to make it go in a hole. Jen and Ben have their own sticks and balls too. They want to be good at golf like Dad. + +One day, they go to a new golf place. It is very big and modern. It has many colors and shapes and sounds. Jen and Ben are excited. They see a big rabbit on the grass. The rabbit is white and fluffy. It has long ears and a pink nose. It hops around the golf place. + +"Look, Dad, a rabbit!" Jen says. + +"Wow, it's so cute!" Ben says. + +"Let's go and say hello to it!" Jen says. + +They run after the rabbit. The rabbit sees them and hops away. Jen and Ben follow it. They hop like the rabbit. They hop over the grass, over the hills, over the bridges. They hop past the holes, past the flags, past the other golfers. They hop and hop and hop. + +"Jen, Ben, wait!" Dad says. "You have to be careful! This is a golf place, not a rabbit place! You might get hit by a ball or a stick!" + +But Jen and Ben do not hear him. They are having too much fun. They hop and hop and hop. They hop until they catch the rabbit. The rabbit is friendly. It lets them pet it and feed it some carrots. Jen and Ben are happy. They hug the rabbit. + +"Can we keep it, Dad?" Jen asks. + +"Please, Dad?" Ben asks. + +Dad smiles. He is not angry anymore. He is proud of his children. They are brave and kind and fast. He thinks they are good at golf and at hopping. + +"Maybe we can," he says. "But first, let's finish our golf game. And then, let's ask the rabbit if it wants to come with us. OK?" + +"OK!" Jen and Ben say. + +They put the rabbit in the big bag with the sticks. They go back to their golf game. They hit the ball with the sticks and try to make it go in the hole. They have fun. They are happy. They love golf and they love the rabbit. And the rabbit loves them too. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a pretty blouse in the closet and put it on. It was pink and had flowers on it. She felt like a princess. + +She wanted to show her mom how she looked, but her mom was busy on the phone. Lily waited and waited, but her mom did not look at her. Lily felt impatient. She wanted her mom to see her now. + +She had an idea. She ran to the door and locked it. She thought her mom would come and open it and see her. She smiled and said, "Surprise!" + +But her mom did not come. She heard her mom say, "Oh no, Lily, what did you do? The key is on the other side. How will I get out?" + +Lily felt scared. She did not mean to make her mom angry. She did not know how to unlock the door. She started to cry. She wished she did not lock the door. + +She heard her mom say, "It's okay, Lily, don't cry. I'm not mad at you. I love you. We'll find a way to open the door. Can you take off the blouse and slide it under the door? Maybe I can use it to reach the key." + +Lily nodded. She took off the blouse and pushed it under the door. She saw her mom's hand grab it. She heard her mom say, "Good girl, Lily, thank you. Let me try to get the key." + +Lily waited and hoped. She heard a click. She saw the door open. She saw her mom's face. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, mom, I wanted to show you my blouse." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "I'm sorry, too, Lily, I should have paid more attention to you. You look beautiful in the blouse. But next time, please don't lock the door, okay?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, mom, I won't. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you, too, Lily. Now, let's go and play dress-up together." +Lila and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses with the blocks. Lila has a big red block. She puts it on top of her tower. Ben wants the red block. He says, "Give me the red block. It is mine." + +Lila says, "No, it is not yours. It is mine. I found it first. You have many other blocks. Go away." + +Ben is angry. He tries to grab the red block from Lila's tower. Lila holds the block tight. They pull and tug. The tower shakes and wobbles. Then, the tower falls down. The blocks drop on the floor. Bang! Crash! + +Lila and Ben are scared. They look at the mess. They hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you making so much noise? Why are the blocks everywhere?" + +Lila and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were fighting over the red block. We both wanted it. We made the tower drop." + +Mom says, "Fighting is not nice. Sharing is nice. The red block is not yours or mine. It is ours. We can all play with it. But first, you have to clean up the blocks. Pick them up and put them in the box. Do it slow and careful. Do not drop them again." + +Lila and Ben nod. They say, "OK, Mom. We will share and clean up. We will not fight anymore." + +They pick up the blocks and put them in the box. They do it slow and careful. They do not drop them again. They find the red block. They smile. They say, "Let's play together. We can make a new tower with the red block. It will be fun." + +Mom says, "That's good. I am proud of you. You are good children. I love you." + +She hugs them and kisses them. They hug her and kiss her. They are happy. They play with the blocks. They are friends. The end. +Jill and Tom were playing with their toys in the yard. Jill had a big doll and Tom had a small automobile. They liked to make up stories and act them out. + +"Let's pretend we are going on a trip," Jill said. "You can drive the automobile and I can be your sister." + +"OK," Tom said. "But where are we going?" + +Jill thought for a moment. She wanted to go somewhere fun and exciting. "How about the zoo?" she said. "We can see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants." + +"Yay, the zoo!" Tom said. He put his automobile on the ground and made it go vroom-vroom. Jill held her doll and followed him. + +They pretended to drive for a while, making noises and talking. They saw imaginary animals and signs along the way. They were having a lot of fun. + +But then, something bad happened. Tom's automobile hit a rock and flipped over. The wheel came off and snapped in half. Tom was very sad. He loved his automobile and now it was broken. + +"Oh no, oh no!" he cried. He picked up the pieces and tried to put them back together. But they did not fit. + +Jill saw how sad Tom was. She felt sorry for him. She was a thoughtful sister. She had an idea. + +"Tom, don't cry," she said. "I have something for you." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a sticker. It was a shiny star. She had gotten it from her teacher for being good. + +"Look, Tom, this is for you," she said. "You can put it on your automobile and make it look new. It will be a special star automobile." + +Tom looked at the sticker. He smiled. He liked stars. He took the sticker and put it on his automobile. He covered the broken wheel with it. + +"Wow, thank you, Jill," he said. "You are the best sister ever. My automobile looks great." + +Jill hugged Tom. She was happy to make him happy. They continued to play with their toys. They forgot about the rock and the wheel. They only saw the star. They went to the zoo and had a wonderful time. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and forks. But they knew they should not touch the knives. Knives were sharp and could hurt them. + +One day, they saw a new knife on the counter. It was big and shiny and had a funny shape. Tom was curious and wanted to see it. He climbed on a chair and reached for the knife. Lily saw him and was scared. + +"Tom, no!" she shouted. "That is a bad knife. It is not for playing. It is for cutting meat. Put it down!" + +But Tom did not listen. He grabbed the knife and held it in his hand. He felt its weight and edge. He thought it was cool and wanted to show Lily. + +"Look, Lily," he said. "This is a good knife. It is not ordinary. It is special. See how it can point?" + +He swung the knife around and pointed it at different things. He pointed it at the wall, at the window, at the fridge. He did not see that he was also pointing it at Lily. + +Lily was very afraid. She backed away from Tom and the knife. She did not want to get cut. She wished Tom would stop. She cried and called for help. + +"Mama, mama!" she screamed. "Tom has a bad knife. He is pointing it at me. Help me, mama!" + +Mama heard Lily's scream and ran to the kitchen. She saw Tom with the knife and Lily with tears. She was angry and scared. She took the knife from Tom and put it away. She hugged Lily and comforted her. She scolded Tom and told him to say sorry. + +"Tom, that was a very naughty thing to do," she said. "You could have hurt yourself or Lily. You should never play with knives. They are dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He did not mean to scare Lily or make mama angry. He did not know the knife was bad. He thought it was fun. He nodded and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, mama," he said. "I'm sorry, Lily. I won't play with knives again. I love you." + +Mama smiled and kissed him. She forgave him and told him to be careful. She loved him too. She took Tom and Lily to the living room and gave them some cookies. They ate the cookies and played with their toys. They were happy and safe. They forgot about the knife. It was not ordinary. It was bad. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big lawn with many flowers and trees. One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They wanted to see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Tim," Sam said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"No, Sam," Tim said. "Mom said we can't go out of the lawn. It is not safe." + +But Sam did not listen. He ran to the hole and crawled through. Tim followed him. He did not want Sam to be alone. + +They found themselves in a dark and dirty place. There were many cars and noises and smells. They did not like it. They wanted to go back. + +"Sam, this is bad," Tim said. "We need to escape. We need to find the hole." + +But they could not find the hole. They were lost. They walked and walked, but they only saw more cars and noises and smells. They were scared and tired and hungry. + +Then they saw a big dog. It was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. It saw them too. It barked and ran to them. It wanted to bite them. + +"Help, help!" Tim and Sam cried. "We want Mom! We want the lawn!" + +But no one heard them. No one helped them.

But one day, Ben's bike broke. The wheel came off and he fell down. He was sad and hurt. + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She said, "Don't cry, Ben. We can repair your bike. I have a tool box at home. Come with me." She helped Ben get up and they walked to her house. Lily's mom gave Ben a band-aid and a cookie. She said, "You are brave, Ben. Lily is a good friend. She will help you fix your bike." + +Lily and Ben went to the garage. They found the tool box and the wheel. They worked hard to repair the bike. They used a wrench, a screwdriver and a hammer. They put the wheel back on and tightened the bolts. They checked the brakes and the chain. They made sure the bike was safe and strong. + +They were happy and proud. They said, "We did it! We repaired the bike!" They hugged and smiled. They decided to go back to the park and test the bike. They put on their helmets and gloves. It was cold outside. It was winter. They saw snowflakes in the air. + +They rode their bikes to the park. They saw their friend Tom. Tom had a new bike. It was shiny and red. It had a bell and a basket. Tom said, "Look at my bike! It is the best bike ever! Do you like it?" Ben and Lily looked at Tom's bike. They felt jealous. They thought, "Tom's bike is nicer than ours. We want a bike like that." They felt sad and angry. They didn't say anything. They turned away and rode on. +Anna liked to dream. She dreamed of many things. She dreamed of flying in the sky. She dreamed of swimming with fish. She dreamed of playing with her friends. + +One night, she had a very strange dream. She dreamed that she was a pear. A big, green pear. She was hanging from a tree. She felt happy and juicy. She saw other pears on the tree. They were her friends. + +But then, she heard a loud noise. It was a storm. The sky was dark and angry. The wind was strong and scary. The rain was wet and cold.

She felt herself slipping. She screamed. She woke up. + +She opened her eyes. She was in her bed. She was not a pear. She was a girl. She was not wet. She was dry. She was not afraid.

She found the pieces for the flowers. They were red, yellow and pink. She put them on the vase. She smiled. + +But she had one piece left. It was green and round. She did not know where to put it. She looked at the box again. She saw a distant hill behind the vase. It was green and round. She put the piece on the hill. She solved the puzzle. She was happy. She showed her mom. + +Mom was proud of Lisa. She hugged her and said, "You are very smart, Lisa. You solved a hard puzzle. How did you do it?" Lisa said, "I looked at the box. I found the pieces. I matched the colors and shapes. I solved the puzzle." Mom said, "You are a good solver, Lisa. I love you." Lisa said, "I love you too, Mom." They smiled. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a big teddy bear that she loved very much. She hugged it and said, "You are my best friend, Teddy." + +Ben had a small car that he liked to zoom around the floor. He made vroom-vroom sounds and said, "This is the fastest car in the world, Car." + +But there was someone else in the house who wanted their toys. He was a thief. He wore a mask and a hat and he sneaked into the living room when Lily and Ben were not looking. He saw the teddy bear and the car and he thought, "These are nice toys. I want them for myself." + +He grabbed the teddy bear and the car and ran to the door. But he did not know that Lily and Ben were very alert. They heard the thief and they turned around. They saw him with their toys and they shouted, "Hey, stop! That's our teddy bear and our car! Give them back!" + +The thief was scared and he dropped the toys. He tried to run away, but Lily and Ben were faster. They ran after him and they caught him. They pulled his mask and his hat and they saw his face. He was their big brother, Tom. He was playing a prank on them. + +Lily and Ben were angry and they said, "Tom, that's not funny! That's mean! You are a bad thief!" + +Tom felt sorry and he said, "I'm sorry, Lily and Ben. I was just joking. I didn't mean to make you sad. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and they nodded. They said, "OK, Tom. We forgive you. But don't do that again. And you have to play with us now." + +Tom agreed and he said, "OK, OK. I'll play with you. What do you want to play?" + +Lily and Ben smiled and they said, "We want to play a show.

"Once upon a time, there was a princess who had a delicate crown. It was made of gold and jewels, and it sparkled in the sun. The princess loved her crown, but she had to be very careful with it. It was so delicate that it could break easily." + +Lily listened to the story with her eyes wide. She imagined how pretty the crown was. She wished she had a crown like that. She asked her dad, "Dad, can I have a crown like the princess?" + +Her dad smiled and said, "Maybe for your birthday, honey. But you know, you don't need a crown to be a princess. You are a princess to me, because you are smart, kind, and brave. And you have something more precious than a crown. Do you know what it is?" + +Lily thought for a moment. Then she said, "Is it my head?" + +Her dad laughed and said, "Yes, your head. But not just your head. Your head is where your mind is. And your mind is where your dreams are. And your dreams are where your magic is. And your magic is what makes you special. And that's why I love you, my little princess." + +He kissed her head and hugged her. Lily felt happy and warm. She said, "I love you too, dad. And I love this book. Can we read it again tomorrow?" + +"Of course, we can," her dad said. He closed the book and turned off the light. He said, "Good night, sweetie.

We do not like water. It is cold and wet. We like dirt and mud. It is warm and soft." + +Mom says, "You cannot stay dirty. You will get sick and itchy. You have to bathe. It is good for you.

"I won't write on your cage. I will write on something else. Can I write you a story instead?" + +The bird nodded and smiled. "Yes, please do," he said. "I love stories. They are soft and pretty and make me happy." + +Lily wrote a story for the bird. She wrote about a yellow and blue bird who flew to a rainbow and met a fairy. The bird liked the story very much. He thanked Lily and sang for her. + +Lily was happy too. She learned that she should not write on things that belong to others. She learned that she should write to make others happy.

Poppy was afraid, but she did not want to show it. She barked louder and louder, trying to scare the cat. + +"Poppy, come here!" her mom called from the house. "It's time for lunch!" + +Poppy did not listen. She insisted on barking at the cat. She thought she was brave and strong. + +"Poppy, stop it!" her mom said again. "The cat is not a toy. It can hurt you!" + +Poppy still did not listen. She thought her mom was silly and did not understand. She wanted to show the cat who was the boss. + +But then, the cat had enough. It jumped at Poppy and scratched her nose with its claws. Poppy yelped and ran away. She felt a sting and saw blood on her fur. + +"Poppy, are you okay?" her mom asked, as she picked her up and hugged her. "You are a silly dog.

She thought it was disgusting. She said, "Yuck! I do not like the metal swan. It is not nice. It is not fun. It is not a friend. I like the real swans better. They are pretty and soft and alive. Can we feed the real swans, Mom?" + +Mom smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, Lila, we can feed the real swans. They are hungry and happy to see us.

But Lily did not want to play with Max. She wanted to play with Anna. + +"Go away, Max!" Lily said. "You always disturb me and my dolls. You are not nice." + +Max did not listen to Lily. He saw Anna on the bed and grabbed her. He liked to pull the buttons from the dress. He thought it was fun. + +"Stop it, Max!" Lily cried. "You are hurting Anna. Give her back to me!" + +But Max did not stop. He pulled and pulled until all the buttons were gone. He threw Anna on the floor and laughed. + +Lily was very sad and angry. She ran to Max and pushed him. They started to fight. They made a lot of noise. + +Their mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the mess and the broken doll. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting? Why did you ruin Lily's doll?" + +Max tried to hide the buttons behind his back. He did not want to tell the truth. He was afraid of getting in trouble. + +Lily pointed at Max and said, "He did it. He disturbed me and he pulled the buttons from Anna's dress. He is mean." + +Mom looked at Max and saw the buttons. She knew he was lying. She was very disappointed. + +She said, "Max, you have to apologize to Lily and help her fix Anna's dress. You have to learn to respect your sister and her things. And you have to share your toys with her. Do you understand?" + +Max nodded. He felt sorry for what he did. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I won't do it again. Can I help you fix Anna's dress?" + +Lily nodded. She forgave Max. She said, "Thank you, Max. Maybe we can play together later. But you have to be nice to Anna. She is my favorite doll." + +Mom smiled. She hugged them both. She said, "I'm glad you are sorry and you are friends again. Now let's go and find some thread and a needle. We can make Anna's dress beautiful again." +Tom is a tall boy who likes to play with his toys. He has many cars, trucks, and trains that he can make noises with. He also has a little sister, Lily, who is not tall and likes to play with dolls and books. + +One day, Tom is playing with his trains on the floor. He makes them go fast and loud. He does not see Lily come into the room with her doll. Lily wants to play with Tom, but he does not want to share his trains. He says, "Go away, Lily! These are my trains. You can't play with them!" + +Lily feels sad and angry. She says, "No, Tom! You are mean. I want to play with you. You have to share!" She grabs one of Tom's trains and runs away. Tom is mad and chases her. He tries to take the train back, but Lily holds it tight. They both pull and tug on the train until it breaks. They hear a loud snap and see the train fall apart. + +They both stop and look at the broken train. They feel scared and sorry. They know they did something bad. They hear their mom come into the room. She sees the broken train and the mess on the floor. She sees Tom and Lily with tears in their eyes. She says, "What happened here? Who broke the train?" + +Tom and Lily both point at each other and say, "He did it!" "She did it!" They both try to blame each other. Mom is not happy. She says, "You both did it. You both fought over the train and broke it. You both need to learn to share and be nice. You both need to be punished." + +She takes the broken train and puts it in the trash. She says, "You can't play with the trains anymore today. You have to go to your rooms and think about what you did. You have to stay there for ten minutes. That is your time out." + +Tom and Lily cry and say, "No, mom! Please! We are sorry! We won't do it again!" But mom does not listen. She takes them to their rooms and closes the doors. Tom and Lily sit on their beds and feel sad and bored. They wish they had not broken the train. They wish they had shared and played nicely. They wish they could say sorry to each other and to mom. They wait for their time out to end. They hope mom will forgive them and let them play again. They hope they can be good and have fun. They learn their lesson. +Tom and Mia are friends who like to play in the park. One day, they see a squirrel on a tree. The squirrel has a big nut in its mouth. Tom and Mia want to see the squirrel up close. + +"Let's go and say hello to the squirrel!" Tom says. + +"OK, but be quiet and slow. We don't want to scare it," Mia says. + +They walk slowly and quietly towards the tree. The squirrel sees them and stops eating. It looks at them with its bright eyes. + +"Hello, squirrel! We are Tom and Mia. We like you and your nut. Can we be your friends?" Tom says. + +The squirrel does not answer. It thinks that Tom and Mia are not safe. It thinks that they want to take its nut. It does not want to share. It makes a loud noise and runs away to another tree. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They do not understand why the squirrel does not want to be their friend. + +"Maybe the squirrel is shy. Maybe it does not know us. Maybe it is afraid of us," Mia says. + +"Maybe we should be more gentle and kind. Maybe we should give the squirrel something to eat. Maybe we should show the squirrel that we are safe," Tom says. + +They look around and find some acorns on the ground. They pick some and put them near the tree where the squirrel is. They sit down and wait. + +The squirrel sees the acorns. It smells them and likes them. It thinks that Tom and Mia are not bad. It thinks that they are generous and friendly. It comes down from the tree and takes an acorn. It eats it and makes a happy noise. + +Tom and Mia smile. They are happy that the squirrel likes their gift. They talk to the squirrel softly and gently. The squirrel listens and comes closer. It lets them touch its fur and tail. It becomes their friend. + +Tom and Mia learn that to make friends, they need to be respectful and caring. They learn that sharing is good and fun. They learn that animals have feelings and need love. They have a good time with the squirrel in the park. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and their cat, Mimi. Mimi is a jolly cat. She likes to chase balls and mice and cuddle with Sara and Ben. + +One day, Sara and Ben are hungry. They go to the kitchen and look for something to eat. They see a can of tuna on the shelf. They like tuna. They decide to open the can and share it with Mimi. + +They use a can opener to open the can. They pour some tuna on a plate and put it on the floor. They call Mimi. Mimi comes running. She smells the tuna and meows happily. + +Sara and Ben sit on the floor and eat some tuna with their spoons. They give some tuna to Mimi. Mimi licks the tuna and purrs loudly. + +"Mmm, this is yummy!" Sara says. + +"Yes, it is!" Ben agrees. + +"Mew, mew, mew!" Mimi says. + +They smile at each other and enjoy their tuna. They are a jolly family. +Tom and his wife Ann went to the park with their dog Max. They liked to play fetch with Max and watch the birds and flowers. But today, there was a big problem. A mean boy came and took Max's ball. He ran away with it and laughed. + +"Hey, give it back!" Tom shouted. He ran after the boy, but he was too fast. Ann followed him, but she was worried. She did not want Tom to get hurt. + +"Please, stop!" Ann called. "That is our ball. You are being bad." + +The boy did not listen. He kept running until he reached a fence. He tried to climb over it, but he dropped the ball. Max saw the ball and ran to get it. He barked at the boy and scared him. + +"Good boy, Max!" Tom said. He picked up the ball and hugged Max. He was happy to have his ball back. + +"Thank you, Max!" Ann said. She hugged Max too. She was proud of her dog. She was also glad that Tom was okay. + +"You are incredible, Max!" Tom said. He kissed his wife and smiled. "And you are incredible, Ann. I love you." + +"I love you too, Tom." Ann said. They walked back to the park, holding hands. They played fetch with Max and had fun. They forgot about the mean boy. They were a happy family. +Tom and Sue were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with thick branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Come on, Sue, let's go up the tree!" Tom said. + +"OK, Tom, but be careful!" Sue said. + +They climbed the tree and found a nice spot to sit. They looked at the clouds and the birds and the sun. They felt happy and proud. + +"Look, Sue, I can wave to the people down there!" Tom said. He waved his hand and smiled. + +"Look, Tom, I can make a shadow with my hand!" Sue said. She moved her hand in front of the sun and made a funny shape. + +They laughed and played with their hands and shadows. They did not see the big dog that came near the tree. The dog saw the shadows and barked. He wanted to catch the shadows. He jumped and scratched the tree. + +Tom and Sue heard the dog and got scared. They did not know what to do. They hugged each other and cried. + +"Help, help, there is a big dog!" Tom shouted. + +"Help, help, we are stuck in the tree!" Sue shouted. + +A man heard their shouts and came to the park. He saw the dog and the tree and the children. He called the dog and took him away. He told the children to come down. He helped them get off the tree. He asked them if they were OK. + +"Thank you, thank you, you saved us!" Tom and Sue said. + +"You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm glad you're OK!" the man said. "But you should not climb trees that are too high. You could fall and hurt yourself. And you should not play with shadows that are not yours. You could make the dog angry and dangerous. You should be careful and respectful when you play in the park." + +Tom and Sue nodded and said sorry. They learned their lesson. They thanked the man again and went home. They hugged their mom and dad and told them what happened. They promised to be more careful and respectful next time. They still liked to play in the park, but they did not climb the big tree or make shadows with their hands anymore. They played with their friends and their toys and had fun. +Tim and Mia are playing in the car. They like to pretend they are drivers and go to different places. They make noises with their mouths and turn the wheel. + +"Beep beep! We are going to the zoo!" Tim says. + +"I want to see the lions and the monkeys!" Mia says. + +They are having fun, but they do not know that the car door is locked. Their mom is inside the house and does not see them. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is a big truck that is coming down the street. It is very close to the car. Tim and Mia are fearful. They want to get out of the car, but they cannot. They try to push the door, but it does not open. + +"Mommy! Mommy! Help us!" they cry. + +Their mom hears them and runs outside. She sees the truck and the car. She is scared too. She has the keys in her pocket. She runs to the car and unlocks the door. She hugs Tim and Mia and takes them out of the car. + +"Are you okay, my babies?" she asks. + +"Yes, mommy, we are okay. But we were very fearful," Tim says. + +"Me too, mommy. The truck was very loud and big," Mia says. + +"I'm sorry, my babies. You should not play in the car. It is not safe. The car is for driving, not for playing. Do you understand?" she says. + +"Yes, mommy, we understand. We are sorry. We will not play in the car again," they say. + +They go back to the house and play with their toys. They are happy and safe. They love their mom. +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They saw a big pile of mail on the porch. Lily wanted to look at the mail. She liked to see the pictures and the colors. Max said no. He said the mail was not for them. It was for their mom and dad. + +But Lily did not listen. She was ignorant. She did not care what Max said. She ran to the porch and grabbed the mail. She opened some of the letters and threw them on the ground. She found a shiny one with a sticker. She liked the sticker. She peeled it off and stuck it on her shirt. + +Max followed her and saw what she did. He was angry. He said Lily was bad. He said she should not touch the mail. He said the mail was important. He said their mom and dad would be mad. He tried to take the mail from her. + +But Lily did not listen. She was ignorant. She did not care what Max said. She ran away from him and went to the fire pit. She saw some wood and some matches. She wanted to make a fire. She thought it would be fun. She threw some of the mail on the wood. She struck a match and lit the mail. + +Max saw what she did. He was scared. He said Lily was dangerous. He said she should not play with fire. He said the fire could burn them and the house. He ran to get some water. He tried to put out the fire. + +But Lily did not listen. She was ignorant. She did not care what Max said. She laughed and threw more mail on the fire. She liked to see the flames and the smoke. She did not see that the fire was growing bigger and bigger. She did not see that the fire was reaching the porch and the curtains. She did not hear the sirens and the shouts. + +Then their mom and dad came home. They saw what Lily did. They were shocked. They were sad. They were furious. They grabbed Lily and Max and took them away from the fire. They called the firemen and the police. They said Lily was very naughty. They said she could have hurt herself and Max and others. They said she ruined the mail and the house. They said she had to learn a lesson. + +Lily finally listened. She was not ignorant anymore. She was ashamed. She was sorry. She cried and said she was sorry. She said she did not know what she did. She said she did not mean to cause trouble. She said she would never play with fire or mail again. + +Max hugged her and said he forgave her. He said he was glad she was safe. He said he loved her. He said he would help her be good. He said they would listen to their mom and dad. He said they would respect the mail and the fire. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and said they loved them. They said they were glad they were safe. They said they were disappointed and angry. They said they would punish them. They said they would teach them a lesson. They said they would help them be good. They said they would respect the mail and the fire. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be ignorant. Listen to your brother and your parents. Do not touch the mail or the fire. They are not for playing. They are important and dangerous. They can burn you and your house. They can make you sad and mad. They can make you learn a lesson. +Sam and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. They saw a big green plant with spikes. It was a cactus. + +"Look, Mia, a cactus!" Sam said. "It is very prickly. Do not touch it." + +"Why not?" Mia asked. She was curious. She wanted to touch the cactus. + +"Because it will hurt you. The spikes are sharp. They can make you bleed." Sam said. He was careful. He did not want Mia to get hurt. + +Mia did not listen. She reached out her hand to touch the cactus. She felt a sting. She pulled back her hand. She saw a drop of blood. She started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Mia cried. She was sad. She was in pain. + +Sam ran to her. He hugged her. He tried to make her feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I told you not to touch the cactus. Let me see your hand." Sam said. He was sorry. He was worried. + +He took her hand. He saw a small spike stuck in her skin. He gently pulled it out. He wiped the blood with his shirt. He kissed her hand. + +"There, there. It's okay, Mia. It will heal soon. You are brave. You are strong." Sam said. He was kind. He was sweet. + +Mia stopped crying. She smiled. She hugged Sam. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are a good brother. You are my hero." Mia said. She was happy. She was grateful. + +They looked at the sky. They saw the sun. It was bright. It was warm. It shone on them. + +"Look, Sam, the sun is shining. It is beautiful. It makes me feel better." Mia said. She was cheerful. She was hopeful. + +"Yes, Mia, the sun is shining. It is beautiful. It makes me feel better too." Sam said. He was cheerful. He was hopeful too. + +They held hands. They walked back to the house. They were happy. They were friends. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Their room is modern. It has a big bed, a blue rug, and a lamp that changes colors. + +One day, Tom and Mia are playing with their blocks. Tom wants to build a tower. Mia wants to build a house. They do not agree. They start to yell at each other. + +"Give me that block!" Tom yells. + +"No, it is mine!" Mia yells. + +They pull and tug on the block. The block breaks in half. Tom and Mia are sad and angry. + +Mom hears them yell. She comes to their room. She sees the broken block and the mess. She is not happy. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. + +"Tom and Mia broke the block!" They both say. + +Mom sighs. She tells them to stop yelling and to share their toys. She tells them to clean up their room. She tells them to say sorry to each other. + +Tom and Mia feel bad. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They clean up their room. They decide to build something together with their blocks. + +Mom smiles. She is proud of them. She tells them they can go to the bathroom and wash their hands. Then they can have a snack. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They go to the bathroom and wash their hands. They see their faces in the mirror. They laugh and make funny faces. They are friends again. +Lily liked to swim in the pond with her friends. They were frogs and they had flexible legs. They could jump and dive and splash in the water. Lily was a duck and she had flexible wings. She could fly and glide and land on the water. + +One day, Lily saw a daisy on the shore. It was yellow and white and pretty. Lily wanted to pick it and give it to her mother. She flew out of the pond and landed near the daisy. She stretched her neck and tried to reach it with her beak. + +But the daisy was too far. Lily could not get it. She felt sad and wanted to cry. She looked around and saw a stick. It was long and thin and flexible. Lily had an idea. She picked up the stick with her beak and moved it closer to the daisy. She used the stick to push the daisy towards her. She did it slowly and carefully. + +She did it! She got the daisy! She was happy and proud. She flew back to the pond with the daisy in her beak. She showed it to her friends and they cheered for her. She swam to her mother and gave her the daisy. Her mother smiled and hugged her. She said, "You are very clever and flexible, Lily. I love you and your daisy." Lily felt warm and cozy. She loved her mother and her friends and the pond. She was a happy duck. +Anna was a wealthy girl who had many toys. She liked to play with her dolls, her cars, her blocks and her books. But she did not have many friends to share her toys with. She felt lonely and bored. + +One day, her mother told her they were going to visit her cousin Lily. Lily lived in a small house with her family. She did not have many toys, but she had a big smile and a kind heart. Anna was curious and excited to meet Lily. + +When they arrived, Lily ran to hug Anna and her mother. She said, "Hello, I am Lily. I am happy to see you. Come, I will introduce you to my toy." She took Anna's hand and led her to her room. There, on a shelf, was a stuffed bear with a red bow. "This is Teddy. He is my best friend. He likes to cuddle and listen to stories. Do you want to play with him?" Lily asked. + +Anna looked at Teddy and felt a warm feeling in her chest. She nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, I do. He is very cute. I am Anna. I have many toys, but I do not have a bear like Teddy. Can I hug him?" Lily nodded and handed Teddy to Anna. They hugged and giggled. + +Anna and Lily played with Teddy and other toys for a long time. They told stories, sang songs, and pretended to be princesses and pirates. They had so much fun that they did not notice the time. They became good friends and shared their toys and their secrets. Anna was not lonely and bored anymore. She was happy and grateful. She learned that having many toys does not make you happy, but having a good friend does. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to act. They would pretend to be heroes, animals, or anything they wanted. They had a big box of costumes and props that they used for their shows. They would act for their mom, dad, and friends. + +One day, they found a new book in the library. It was about the universe, and it had many pictures of stars, planets, and rockets. Ben and Sam were amazed by the book. They wanted to act like they were in the universe, exploring space. + +They asked their mom if they could buy some things to make their show better. They wanted a cheap rocket, a cheap helmet, and a cheap suit. Their mom said no. She said those things were too expensive, and they had enough things in their box. She said they could use their imagination and creativity to make their show. + +Ben and Sam were not happy. They thought their mom was mean and did not understand their dream. They decided to sneak out and go to the store. They saw a cheap rocket, a cheap helmet, and a cheap suit. They did not have enough money, but they saw a sign that said "take now, pay later". They thought that was a good deal, so they took the things and ran away. + +They went to the park and put on their new things. They pretended to be in the universe, flying in their rocket, and landing on different planets. They had fun, but they also felt guilty. They knew they did something wrong, and they were afraid of getting caught. + +Soon, they saw a police car coming. They heard a loud voice saying "stop, you are under arrest". They were scared and tried to hide, but it was too late. The police officer found them and took them to the station. He called their mom and told her what they did. + +Their mom was very angry and sad. She came to the station and picked them up. She scolded them and said they had to return the things and apologize to the store. She also said they had to do chores and no more acting for a month. She said they had to learn to be honest and grateful for what they had. + +Ben and Sam felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they made a big mistake. They wished they had listened to their mom and used their box. They learned that acting was fun, but not when it hurt others or themselves. They learned that the universe was not cheap, but priceless. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big, old tree. It had many leaves and branches. Sara said, "Let's climb the tree. It looks fun." + +Tom nodded and followed Sara. They grabbed the branches and pulled themselves up. They reached a high spot and looked around. They saw birds, flowers and people. They felt happy. + +But then, they heard a loud voice. It was the park keeper. He was angry. He said, "Hey, you two! Get down from that tree. It is ancient and fragile. You might break it or hurt yourselves." + +Sara and Tom were scared. They did not want to make the park keeper mad. They also did not want to hurt the tree. They said, "Sorry, sir. We did not know. We will get down now." + +They climbed down carefully. They felt sad. They liked the tree. They wanted to play with it. They wondered why the park keeper was so mean. + +The park keeper saw their faces. He felt sorry. He said, "I know you were just having fun. But this tree is very old and special. It has a heart. It has seen many things. It needs to be protected and respected. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Tom nodded. They looked at the tree. They saw a hole in the trunk. It looked like a heart. They said, "We understand, sir. We are sorry. We love the tree. We will not climb it again." + +The park keeper smiled. He said, "That's good. You are good kids. You can still play in the park. But be careful and gentle with the tree. It is your friend." + +Sara and Tom smiled too. They said, "Thank you, sir. We will." They hugged the tree and said goodbye. They ran to the swings and played. They felt happy again. +Tom and Mia went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked to watch them and learn their names. + +When they came to the ostrich pen, Tom and Mia were curious. They had never seen such big birds before. They had long necks, big eyes, and fluffy feathers. They also had sharp beaks and strong legs. + +"Can we touch them, mom?" Tom asked. + +"No, honey, they might bite or kick. They are not pets, they are wild animals. We have to respect them and keep a safe distance," mom said. + +But Tom and Mia did not listen. They wanted to feel the ostrich feathers. They waited until mom was looking at the map, and then they sneaked closer to the fence. They reached out their hands and tried to grab some feathers. + +"Ow!" Tom cried out. An ostrich had pinched his finger with its beak. It hurt a lot and made him bleed. + +"Tom, what happened?" mom asked, running to him. She saw the blood and the ostrich. She was angry and scared. + +"Mom, I'm sorry, I just wanted to touch the ostrich," Tom said, sobbing. + +"Mia, did you do the same?" mom asked, looking at her daughter. + +Mia nodded, feeling guilty. She had also pinched an ostrich feather, but the bird had not noticed. + +"That was very naughty of you, Tom and Mia. You disobeyed me and you hurt the ostrich. You could have been hurt worse. You have to say sorry to the ostrich and to me," mom said. + +Tom and Mia said sorry to the ostrich and to mom. They learned their lesson and never tried to touch wild animals again. They hugged mom and said they loved her. Mom forgave them and kissed them. She took them to the nurse to clean Tom's wound. Then they continued their zoo trip, but this time they stayed away from the ostriches. +Tim and Mia liked to play with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a robot. The robot was big and shiny, and it could move and make noises. Tim and Mia liked to make the robot walk and talk with a remote control. + +One day, they were playing with the robot when they heard a loud knock on the door. They stopped and looked at each other. Who could it be? They felt frightened. They ran to the sofa and hid behind the cushions. They hoped the robot would protect them. + +The door opened and a man came in. He was wearing a uniform and a hat. He had a big bag in his hand. He looked around and saw the robot. He smiled and walked towards it. + +"Hello, little robot," he said. "You look very cool. Can I see how you work?" + +He reached for the remote control on the table. He pressed a button and the robot moved. It turned its head and looked at the man. It said, "Beep beep. I am a robot. I am Tim and Mia's friend. Leave me alone." + +The man was surprised. He dropped the remote control and stepped back. He looked frightened. He said, "Sorry, little robot. I didn't mean to bother you. I am the mailman. I have a package for Tim and Mia. Can you give it to them?" + +The robot picked up the package and moved to the sofa. It lifted the cushions and saw Tim and Mia. They were still hiding. They looked scared. The robot said, "Beep beep. Don't be afraid. It is only the mailman. He has a package for you. Here you go." + +Tim and Mia peeked out and saw the package. They felt curious. They took the package and opened it. Inside, there was a book. It was a book about robots. They smiled and thanked the robot. + +The robot said, "Beep beep. You are welcome. I am happy to help. I am your friend." + +The mailman said, "Wow, you have a very smart and friendly robot. I am sorry I scared you. I hope you enjoy your book. Goodbye, little robot. Goodbye, Tim and Mia." + +He waved and left. Tim and Mia waved back. They hugged the robot and said, "We love you, robot. You are the best." The robot said, "Beep beep. I love you too. You are the best." They all laughed and played with the book and the robot. They were not frightened anymore. They were happy. +Tommy was very excited to go to the park with his mom. He put on his shoes and coat and ran to the car. He wanted to play on the swings and the slide and see the ducks. + +But when he got to the car, he saw something disgusting on his seat. It was a big, brown, sticky mess. Tommy did not know what it was, but it smelled bad. He did not want to sit on it. + +"Mom, what is that?" he asked, pointing at the mess. + +Mom looked at the seat and made a face. "Oh, no. It looks like your sister's chocolate ice cream melted and spilled. I'm sorry, Tommy. We have to clean it up first." + +Tommy was sad. He did not want to wait. He wanted to go to the park now. He started to cry. + +"Please, mom, can we go? I don't care about the mess. I can sit on it." + +Mom shook her head. "No, Tommy, we can't go. The mess is disgusting. It will make your clothes dirty and sticky. And it might have germs. We have to clean it up first. It won't take long. I have some wipes and a towel in the trunk. You can help me, okay?" + +Tommy stopped crying. He did not like the mess, but he liked to help his mom. He nodded. + +"Okay, mom. I will help you. But can we go to the park after?" + +Mom smiled. "Yes, Tommy, we can go to the park after. Thank you for being a good helper. Now, let's get to work." + +Mom opened the trunk and took out the wipes and the towel. She gave some to Tommy and they started to wipe the mess. It was hard to get it off. It was sticky and gooey. Tommy had to use many wipes. He threw them in a bag. + +When they finished, the seat looked better. It was not disgusting anymore. It was clean and dry. Mom put the towel on the seat, just in case. She told Tommy to sit on the towel and buckle his seat belt. + +Tommy did as mom said. He sat on the towel and buckled his seat belt. He was happy. The mess was gone. He was ready to go to the park. + +Mom got in the car and started the engine. She looked at Tommy and smiled. + +"Good job, Tommy. You were a great helper. Now, let's go to the park and have some fun." + +Tommy smiled back. He was excited to go to the park. He hoped the ducks were there. He liked to feed them bread. He said to mom: + +"I love you, mom. You are the best." + +Mom said to Tommy: + +"I love you, too, Tommy. You are the best, too." +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big mill near their house. The mill has a big wheel that turns and turns. Sara and Ben want to watch the mill. + +"Look, Ben, the mill is so big and fun!" Sara says. + +"Yes, Sara, let's go watch it!" Ben says. + +They run to the mill. They see a man who works at the mill. He is wearing a hat and a coat. He is not happy to see Sara and Ben. + +"Hey, you kids, get away from the mill!" he shouts. "The mill is not a toy. It is dangerous. You can get hurt." + +Sara and Ben are scared. They do not want to get hurt. They do not want to make the man angry. But they also want to watch the mill. They think the mill is cute. + +"Please, mister, can we watch the mill for a little bit?" Sara asks. "We will be good. We will not touch anything." + +The man shakes his head. He does not like kids. He does not like noise. He does not like fun. + +"No, you can't watch the mill. Go away. Now!" he says. + +He picks up a stick. He waves it at Sara and Ben. He looks mean. + +Sara and Ben run away. They are sad. They do not understand why the man is so mean. They still want to watch the mill. + +They hide behind a tree. They wait for the man to go away. They hope he will go away soon. + +They do not know that the man has a secret. He has a cute dog that lives in the mill. The dog is his only friend. He does not want anyone to see his dog. He does not want anyone to take his dog away. He is afraid of losing his dog. + +The dog hears Sara and Ben. The dog is curious. The dog likes kids. The dog likes noise. The dog likes fun. + +The dog sneaks out of the mill. The dog finds Sara and Ben. The dog wags its tail. The dog licks their faces. + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They see the cute dog. They smile. They pet the dog. They play with the dog. + +They do not see the man. The man sees them. The man is angry. The man is jealous. The man wants his dog back. + +He runs to the tree. He yells at Sara and Ben. He tries to grab his dog. + +But the dog does not want to go. The dog likes Sara and Ben. The dog barks at the man. The dog bites the man's hand. + +The man drops the stick. He cries out in pain. He lets go of his dog. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They do not want the man to hurt the dog. They do not want the man to hurt them. + +They run away. They take the dog with them. They run to their house. They tell their mom what happened. + +Their mom is shocked. She is angry. She is sorry. She calls the police. She calls the vet. She hugs Sara and Ben. She hugs the dog. + +She says, "You kids are brave. You saved the dog. The dog is cute. The dog is yours. The man is bad. The man is in trouble. The mill is closed. You can watch the mill from here. But you can't go near the mill again. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They understand. They are happy. They have a new friend. They watch the mill from their window. They play with the dog in their yard. They name the dog Millie. They love Millie. Millie loves them. +Tara was a fairy who liked to collect things from the human world. She flew around the big park and looked for shiny or pretty things that humans left behind. She found a ring, a button, a feather and a coin. She put them in her small bag and smiled. + +But then she saw a human boy who was very nosy. He saw Tara flying and wanted to catch her. He ran after her and shouted, "Hey, fairy, come here! I want to see you!" Tara was scared and flew away. She did not like nosy humans who wanted to bother her. + +She flew to a big tree and hid behind the leaves. She hoped the boy would go away. But he did not. He climbed the tree and looked for Tara. He said, "Where are you, fairy? I just want to be your friend!" Tara did not believe him. She knew he was lying. + +She saw a big bee who was flying near the tree. She had an idea. She whispered to the bee, "Please help me. There is a nosy human who wants to catch me. Can you sting him and make him go away?" The bee nodded and flew to the boy. He stung him on the nose and made him cry. + +The boy ran away from the tree and rubbed his nose. He said, "Ow, ow, ow! That fairy was mean! She sent a bee to sting me!" Tara was happy and thanked the bee. She said, "You are a good friend. Thank you for saving me." The bee said, "You are welcome. You are a smart fairy. Be careful of nosy humans." Tara agreed and flew away with her bag of things. She was glad she was safe and free. +Tom and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with toys and run in the park. One day, they found a pistol in a trash can. It was shiny and black and looked like a real gun. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "Let's play cops and robbers!" + +"OK, but I want to be the cop!" Sam said. + +"No, I want to be the cop!" Tom said. + +They both grabbed the pistol and pulled it hard. It was very tight and they could not let go. They started to yell and fight. + +"Give it to me, it's mine!" Tom said. + +"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Sam said. + +They did not see the man who came out of the house. He was angry and scared. He saw the pistol and thought they were bad boys. He shouted at them and took the pistol away. + +"Hey, what are you doing with this? This is not a toy, this is dangerous! You could hurt yourself or someone else! Where are your parents?" He said. + +Tom and Sam were scared too. They did not know the pistol was not a toy. They did not mean to be bad. They started to cry and say sorry. + +"Please don't be mad, mister. We didn't know. We were just playing. We are sorry." They said. + +The man looked at them and saw they were just kids. He felt sorry for them too. He knew they made a mistake. He decided to forgive them and teach them a lesson. + +"It's OK, boys. I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. Never touch a pistol or any other weapon again. They are not for playing. They can hurt you or someone else. Do you understand?" He said. + +Tom and Sam nodded and said yes. They promised to never touch a pistol again. They thanked the man and hugged each other. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with other toys and be good friends. They were happy and safe. +Tim and Mia liked to play on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. One day, they saw a big whale on the shore. The whale was hurt and could not swim. + +"Look, Mia, a whale!" Tim said. "It is so big and gray!" + +"Tim, the whale is sad," Mia said. "It has a cut on its tail. It needs help." + +Tim and Mia ran to the whale. They tried to touch it, but it was too far. They looked for water and poured it on the whale. They hoped it would heal. + +"Please, whale, get better," Tim said. "We want you to be happy." + +The whale made a noise. It sounded like a thank you. Tim and Mia smiled. They felt grateful that they could help the whale. + +But then, a bad man came. He had a big truck and a big net. He saw the whale and wanted to take it away. He did not care that the whale was hurt and needed water. + +"Hey, kids, get away from the whale," the bad man said. "It is mine now. I will sell it for a lot of money." + +Tim and Mia were scared. They did not want the bad man to take the whale. They shouted and cried. They tried to stop him, but he was too strong. + +The bad man threw the net over the whale. He dragged it to his truck.

They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to look at the birds, the flowers and the clouds. + +One day, they saw a big truck in the park. It had a lot of boxes and bags. They wondered what was inside. They wanted to go closer and see. But their mommies said no. They said it was not safe. They said it was unknown. + +"Unknown? What does that mean?" Ben asked Mia. + +"I don't know. Maybe it means it is a secret. Or maybe it means it is scary. Or maybe it means it is fun. I wish we could find out." Mia said. + +"Me too. Maybe we can come back tomorrow and see. Maybe the truck will be gone. Or maybe it will be open. Or maybe it will have something for us." Ben said. + +They decided to wait until tomorrow. They said goodbye to the truck and went home with their mommies. They hoped the truck would have a surprise for them. They dreamed about the unknown. They remembered yesterday. They smiled. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to make noises and pretend they were going on adventures. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Ben said, zooming his car on the floor. + +"My doll is pretty, she has a dress and a hat," Lily said, brushing her doll's hair. + +They were having fun, but they had to be careful. Mom had told them not to make a mess or break anything. She was in the kitchen, making lunch. + +"Be good, kids, lunch will be ready soon," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded, but they did not listen very well. They started to play more and more loudly and wildly. They threw their toys in the air, they knocked over the pillows, they spilled their juice. + +"Look, Lily, I can make my car fly!" Ben said, tossing his car towards the window. + +"Ben, no!" Lily shouted, but it was too late. + +The car hit the window and made a loud crash. The glass broke and the car fell outside.

They wished they had been more careful. They wished they had not played with their toys so hard. They wished they could say sorry and make it better. + +But it was too late. The window was broken, the car was gone, and Mom was mad. The fun was over. The game had ended. +Tim and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. One day, the sky was very dark and the wind was very strong. Tim's mom said, "There is a hurricane coming. We have to go inside and stay safe." But Tim did not want to go inside. He wanted to play with his new bike. + +"Please, Tim, come with me," Mia said. "The hurricane is scary and dangerous. It can break your bike and hurt you." But Tim was selfish. He did not care about Mia or the hurricane. He said, "No, I want to play. You are silly and scared. Go away." + +Mia was sad and scared. She ran to her mom, who was waiting for her. They went inside their house and locked the door. Tim stayed outside with his bike. He laughed and said, "I am brave and strong. I can play in the hurricane. I don't need anyone." + +But soon, the hurricane was very loud and angry. It blew Tim's bike away and knocked him down. Tim was hurt and scared. He cried and said, "Help, help, someone help me." But no one heard him. No one came to help him. He blinked and saw the hurricane coming closer and closer. He wished he had listened to Mia and his mom. He wished he had not been selfish. But it was too late. The hurricane took him away. The end. +Ben has a little dog. His dog is brown and white. His dog likes to play and run.

He is very strong," Mia says. + +Ben and Mia talk and play with their dogs. They throw a ball and a stick. Their dogs run and fetch.

One day, she saw a big pile of hay in the barn. She wanted to jump on it and have fun. + +She ran to the hay and pointed at it. "Look, look!" she shouted to her friends. "Let's play on the hay!" Her friends followed her and they climbed on the hay. They laughed and rolled and made hay angels. + +But they did not see that the hay was delicate and had some sharp things in it. The sharp things were called needles. They were for sewing the hay together. The farmer used them to make hay bales. The needles were hidden in the hay and they could hurt someone. + +One of Lila's friends, Ben, felt a needle poke his arm. He cried out in pain and showed his arm to Lila. It had a little drop of blood on it. Lila felt sorry for Ben and said, "Oh no, Ben, are you okay?" She looked at the hay and saw some needles sticking out. She realized that they had made a mistake. + +She said to her friends, "We should not play on the hay. It is delicate and has needles in it. The needles are for the farmer, not for us. We could get hurt. Let's go play somewhere else." Her friends agreed and they got off the hay. They apologized to the farmer and he gave them a band-aid for Ben's arm. + +Lila learned that day that some things are not for playing. She learned to be careful and respectful of the farmer's work. She also learned to be kind and helpful to her friends. She was a good girl. +Anna and Ben were twins who loved candy. They liked to eat candy every day after lunch. But their mom said they could only have one candy each. She said too much candy was bad for their teeth and tummy. + +One day, Anna had a creative idea. She found a big bag of candy in the kitchen and hid it under her bed. She told Ben to come to her room after lunch. She said they could have more candy there. + +Ben was happy and followed Anna to her room. He saw the big bag of candy under her bed and his eyes sparkled. He reached for the bag, but Anna stopped him. + +"Wait, Ben," she said. "We have to play a game first. I will ask you a question, and if you answer right, you can have a candy. If you answer wrong, you have to give me a candy. OK?" + +Ben nodded. He liked games and he was good at questions. He thought he could win a lot of candy from Anna. + +"OK, Anna," he said. "What is your question?" + +Anna smiled. She had a tricky question for Ben. She said, "What is the color of the sky when it is night?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He looked out the window and saw the blue sky. He said, "The sky is blue, Anna. That is easy. Give me a candy." + +Anna shook her head. She said, "No, Ben. You are wrong. The sky is not blue when it is night. It is black. And sometimes it has stars and the moon. You have to give me a candy." + +Ben was confused. He said, "But the sky is blue now, Anna. How can it be black later?" + +Anna said, "It is because the sun goes away, Ben. The sun makes the sky blue. When the sun is gone, the sky is black. That is how it works. Now give me a candy." + +Ben was not happy. He did not like to give away his candy. He said, "That is not fair, Anna. You tricked me. You asked me a question that changes. That is not a good game. I don't want to play anymore." + +Anna said, "Too bad, Ben. You agreed to play. You have to follow the rules. Now give me a candy or I will tell mom you took the bag from the kitchen." + +Ben sighed. He gave Anna a candy. He hoped the next question would be easier. He hoped he could get some candy back. He hoped mom would not find out. He wished he had not followed Anna to her room. He wished he had listened to mom and had only one candy. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that candy was not worth a question. +Lila and Tom are playing with their toy cars. They like to match the cars by color and shape. Lila has a red car and a blue car. Tom has a yellow car and a green car. + +"Look, Lila, I have a yellow car and a green car. They match!" Tom says. + +"That's nice, Tom. But I have a red car and a blue car. They match too!" Lila says. + +They drive their cars around the floor, making vroom noises. They have fun. + +But then, Lila's red car stops working. She tries to push it, but it does not move. She looks at it and sees a small hole in the back. + +"Oh no, my red car is broken!" Lila cries. + +"Don't worry, Lila. I can fix it. I have a tool box. It has a screwdriver, a hammer, and a tape. I can do an operation on your car." Tom says. + +He takes Lila's red car and his tool box to the table. He opens the hole with the screwdriver. He sees a wire inside. The wire is cut. + +"I see the problem, Lila. The wire is cut. It needs to be joined again. I can use the tape to do that." Tom says. + +He takes a piece of tape and wraps it around the wire. He closes the hole with the screwdriver. He gives the red car back to Lila. + +"Here you go, Lila. Your red car is fixed. Try it." Tom says. + +Lila pushes the red car. It moves again. She smiles. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. You did a good operation on my car." Lila says. + +They hug and go back to playing with their cars. They are happy. +Lily likes to go to the library with her mom. She likes to look at books with pictures and words. She likes to hear stories from the nice lady who works there. + +One day, Lily sees a big scale in the library. It is for weighing books. Lily is curious. She wants to know how much her books weigh. She puts one book on the scale. It is a thin book. The scale says one. Lily puts another book on the scale. It is a thick book. The scale says four. Lily thinks that is funny. She laughs. + +Lily's mom sees her playing with the scale. She smiles. She tells Lily that books have different weights because they have different numbers of pages. She says that thin books have fewer pages and thick books have more pages. She says that pages are made of paper and paper has weight. + +Lily nods. She understands. She likes to learn new things. She says thank you to her mom. She says she loves books. She says she loves the library. She says she loves her mom. Her mom hugs her. They go home happy. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park after school. One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and yellow and blue. It looked like a rainbow. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "It is so high and pretty!" + +"Can we go and touch it?" Lily asked. + +Ben shook his head. "No, it is too high. We need a ladder or a rocket." + +Lily frowned. She wanted to touch the balloon. She had an idea. She saw a big hill near the park. She grabbed Ben's hand and ran to the hill. + +"Come on, Ben! Maybe we can reach the balloon from the hill!" + +Ben followed Lily. They climbed the hill. It was hard and steep. They were tired and sweaty. But they kept going. They wanted to see the balloon. + +They reached the top of the hill. They looked at the sky. The balloon was still there. But it was not a balloon. It was a firework. It started to glow and crackle and pop. It made loud noises and bright sparks. It was scary and beautiful. + +Ben and Lily gasped. They covered their ears and eyes. They hugged each other. They felt the firework shake the ground. They felt the heat on their faces. They felt the smoke in their noses. + +They were too close to the firework. They were in danger. They wished they had not climbed the hill. They wished they had listened to Ben. They wished they had stayed in the park. + +The firework exploded. It made a big boom. It sent pieces of paper and metal flying. One piece hit Lily's waist. It made a cut. It hurt a lot. Lily cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily said. "Ben, help me!" + +Ben saw the blood on Lily's waist. He was scared and sorry. He wrapped his shirt around the cut. He tried to stop the bleeding. He tried to calm Lily. + +"It's okay, Lily. It's okay. I'm here. I'm sorry. We'll go to the doctor. We'll be fine." + +He held Lily's hand. He looked for a way down the hill. He hoped someone would see them. He hoped someone would help them. He hoped they would be okay. +One day, a purple bird flew over a village. The bird was very hungry and wanted to find some food. He saw a big tree with many red fruits. He thought they looked yummy and flew down to the tree. + +In the tree, there was a nest with three baby birds. They were yellow and fluffy and very cute. They saw the purple bird and were scared. They cried for their mom and dad, who were away looking for food. + +The purple bird heard the baby birds and smiled. He said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want to play with me?" He pretended to be nice, but he really wanted to eat them. + +The baby birds did not know what to do. They were too small to fly away. They hoped their mom and dad would come back soon. They said, "No, thank you. We are waiting for our mom and dad. Please go away." + +The purple bird did not listen. He said, "Too bad. I am hungry and you look tasty. I will eat you now." He opened his big mouth and moved closer to the nest. + +But then, he heard a loud noise. It was the mom and dad bird. They came back with food and saw the purple bird. They were very angry and brave. They flew at the purple bird and pecked him with their sharp beaks. They said, "Leave our babies alone. You are a bad bird. Go away or we will hurt you more." + +The purple bird was scared and hurt. He flew away as fast as he could. He did not get any food. He was still hungry and sad. He wished he had been nice to the baby birds. He learned a hard lesson. The end. +Tom and Anna liked to play in the snow. They made snowmen, snowballs and snow angels. They had fun, but they also felt cold. Their mom told them to wear warm clothes and come inside when they were too cold. + +One day, they saw a big lake near their house. The lake was frozen. It looked like a big mirror. Tom and Anna wanted to walk on the lake. They thought it would be fun. + +"Let's go, Anna!" Tom said. "We can slide on the ice!" + +"I don't know, Tom," Anna said. "Mom said the ice can break. It can be dangerous." + +"Don't be scared, Anna," Tom said. "The ice is thick. It won't break. Come on, it will be fun!" + +Tom ran to the lake. He stepped on the ice. He slid a little bit. He laughed. He looked at Anna. He waved at her. + +"See, Anna? It's fun! Come on, join me!" + +Anna was still scared. But she also wanted to have fun. She followed Tom. She stepped on the ice. She slid a little bit. She smiled. She looked at Tom. She waved at him. + +They slid on the ice together. They laughed. They had fun. They forgot about the cold. + +But they did not see the crack in the ice. The crack was small at first. But it grew bigger and bigger. The ice was not thick enough. It could not hold them. + +Suddenly, the ice broke. Tom and Anna fell into the water. The water was very cold. They screamed. They tried to swim. But they were too slow. The water was too cold. They started to freeze. + +Their mom heard their screams. She ran to the lake. She saw them in the water. She was scared. She called for help. She tried to reach them. But she was too late. + +The result was sad. Tom and Anna did not make it. They froze in the water. They did not play in the snow anymore. They did not laugh anymore. They did not smile anymore. They were gone. +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. Sometimes they found worms and snails, and sometimes they found shiny stones and old coins. + +One day, they dug a very big hole under the apple tree. They saw something white and soft in the dirt. They pulled it out and saw that it was a rabbit. But not a normal rabbit. It had long ears and a long tail, and it was wearing a blue hat and a red coat. + +"Hello, little ones," the rabbit said. "Do you know who I am?" + +Tom and Mia were very surprised. They had never seen a talking rabbit before. + +"No, we don't," Tom said. "Who are you?" + +"I am the ancient rabbit," the rabbit said. "I have been living under this tree for a long time. I know many secrets and stories. Do you want to hear some?" + +Tom and Mia nodded. They liked stories. They sat down next to the rabbit and listened. The rabbit told them about the fairies and the giants, the dragons and the witches, the kings and the queens. He made them laugh and wonder. + +But then they heard their mother calling them. It was time for lunch. + +"Sorry, ancient rabbit," Mia said. "We have to go now. Can we come back and play with you later?" + +The rabbit smiled. He liked the children. They were kind and curious. + +"Of course, you can," he said. "But you have to promise me something. Don't tell anyone about me. I am a secret rabbit. If anyone finds out, they might take me away or hurt me. And I don't want to leave this tree. It is my home." + +Tom and Mia promised. They hugged the rabbit and said goodbye. They ran to the house, but they did not forget the rabbit. They wanted to see him again and hear more stories. They hoped he would be safe and happy under the apple tree. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of dolls and cars and blocks and books. Lily liked to pretend that she was a queen and Ben was her servant. She wore a crown and a dress and told Ben what to do. + +"Ben, display my jewels on the table. They are very shiny and pretty," Lily said. + +"Yes, your majesty," Ben said. He took the necklace and the ring and the bracelet that Lily had and put them on the table. He did not like to be a servant, but he wanted to make Lily happy. + +But then, a naughty cat came into the living room. The cat saw the jewels and thought they were toys. The cat jumped on the table and knocked over the jewels. The cat played with them and made them roll and bounce on the floor. + +"Hey, stop that! Those are mine!" Lily shouted. She ran to the table and tried to grab the jewels from the cat. But the cat was faster and ran away with the necklace in its mouth. + +"Come back here, you naughty cat!" Ben shouted. He ran after the cat and tried to catch it. But the cat was clever and hid under the sofa. + +Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They had lost their jewels and their game was ruined. They looked at each other and decided to do something. + +"Let's go and tell mom. She will help us get our jewels back," Lily said. + +"OK, let's go," Ben said. + +They held hands and walked to the kitchen, where mom was making cookies. They told her what happened and asked her to help them. + +Mom listened to their story and hugged them. She said, "Don't worry, my darlings. We will find the cat and the jewels. But first, let's have some cookies. They are very yummy and sweet." + +Lily and Ben smiled and nodded. They forgot about their jewels and their game for a while. They ate some cookies and thanked mom. They learned that sometimes, things go wrong, but they can always find something good. And they learned that mom was the best queen of all. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bag of rice on a bench. They think it is funny. + +"Look, rice!" Sara says. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK!" Ben says. They run to the bench and open the bag. They take out handfuls of rice and throw them in the air. They laugh and laugh. + +A man comes to the bench. He is angry. He sees the rice on the ground and on his clothes. He sees Sara and Ben. + +"Hey, you!" he shouts. "What are you doing? That is my rice! I need it for my dinner!" + +Sara and Ben are scared. They stop laughing. They try to run away, but the man is faster. He grabs them by their arms and shakes them. + +"You are bad children!" he says. "You wasted my rice! You owe me money!" + +Sara and Ben cry. They have no money. They are sorry. They wish they did not play with the rice. They wish they did not laugh. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But their favorite thing was to climb the big palm tree in the corner of the park. The palm tree had many green leaves and a tall trunk. It was very fun to climb. + +One day, Lily and Ben decided to climb the palm tree together. They held each other's hands and started to go up. They were very careful not to slip or fall. They reached the top of the trunk and looked around. They could see the whole park and the sky. They felt very happy. + +"Wow, this is so cool!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is!" Ben agreed. + +They saw a bird flying by. It was blue and yellow. It had a long tail and a pointy beak. It landed on a branch near them. It looked at them with its round eyes. + +"Hello, bird!" Lily said. + +"Hello, hello!" the bird said. + +Lily and Ben were surprised. They did not know that the bird could talk. + +"Can you talk?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I can!" the bird said. + +"What is your name?" Lily asked. + +"My name is Coco!" the bird said. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They liked Coco. They wanted to be friends with him. + +"Can we be your friends?" Ben asked. + +"Of course!" Coco said. + +They started to talk to Coco. They asked him many questions. They wanted to know where he lived, what he ate, and what he liked to do. Coco answered them. He told them that he lived in a nest, that he ate fruits and seeds, and that he liked to sing and fly. He also asked them questions. He wanted to know about them too. They told him that they lived in houses, that they ate sandwiches and cookies, and that they liked to play and climb. They had a lot to discuss. + +They talked for a long time. They laughed and learned. They became good friends. They did not notice that the sun was setting. The sky turned orange and pink. It was very pretty. + +"Look, the sun is going down!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is!" Ben said. + +They looked at the sun. It was big and round. It looked like a chubby orange ball. + +"It is time to go home!" Coco said. + +"Yes, it is!" Lily and Ben said. + +They said goodbye to Coco. They thanked him for being their friend.

Do you understand?" + +The little boy said he did, and he was careful to look carefully before he touched something. He was so thankful he listened to his mom, because he didn't want to get too wet. + +The moral of this story is that it is important to be careful before you touch something, even if you think it is safe.

But remember, we have to stay close to mom and dad, and we have to be quiet and respectful of the animals, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, mom, we will be good," Ben said. + +They followed the signs to the lion enclosure. They saw a big fence with a sign that said "Danger, do not climb". They saw some lions lying on the grass, sleeping. They were very big and had long, yellow fur and sharp teeth. + +"Wow, they are so beautiful," Lily said, in a low voice. + +"I wish I could touch them," Ben said, in a louder voice. + +"Shh, Ben, you have to be quiet. And you can't touch them, they are wild animals. They could hurt you," Mom said. + +But Ben did not listen. He was curious and brave. He wanted to be successful and impress his sister. He saw a small hole in the fence. He thought he could sneak through it and get closer to the lions. He did not see the sign that said "Electric fence, do not touch". + +He left his map on the ground and crawled through the hole. He felt a shock in his body. He screamed. The lions woke up. They saw Ben. They were hungry and angry. They ran towards him. Ben was scared. He tried to run back to the hole. But it was too late. The lions caught him. They bit him. He cried. Mom and Lily saw what happened. They cried too. They called for help. But it was too late. Ben was gone. The lions had him. The end. +Mia and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Mia was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran behind a big oak tree and waited for Mia to find him. He wanted to scare her when she came close. + +Mia looked around the park and saw many places where Ben could hide. She checked under the slide, behind the bench, and in the bushes. She could not find Ben anywhere. She felt frustrated and called out, "Ben, where are you? I give up!" + +Ben heard Mia's voice and smiled. He thought it was the perfect time to scare her. He jumped out from behind the oak tree and shouted, "Boo!" + +Mia was so surprised that she screamed and fell on the grass. She was not happy with Ben. She said, "Ben, that was not nice! You scared me too much!" + +Ben felt sorry for Mia. He did not mean to make her cry. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I just wanted to have fun. Are you okay?" + +Mia wiped her tears and nodded. She said, "I'm okay, Ben. But next time, don't scare me so much. It's not fun." + +Ben hugged Mia and said, "Okay, Mia. I won't scare you so much. Do you want to play something else?" + +Mia smiled and said, "Yes, Ben. Let's play something else. How about tag?" + +Ben agreed and said, "Okay, Mia. Let's play tag. You're it!" + +Mia and Ben ran around the park, laughing and having fun. They forgot about the scare and enjoyed their game. +Tom and Lily were at the stadium with their dad. They liked to watch the big people play with the ball. But they did not like the loud noises and the ugly colors. They wanted to go home and play with their toys. + +They saw a big door that said "exit". They thought that was the way to go home. They held hands and ran to the door. They did not tell their dad. They thought he would follow them. + +But when they opened the door, they did not see their home. They saw a big street with many cars and people. They were scared. They did not know where to go. They wanted their dad. + +They heard a loud voice behind them. It was their dad. He was angry and worried. He ran to them and hugged them. He said, "You should never escape from me. The stadium is not a safe place for little kids. You could get lost or hurt. I love you and I want to protect you." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We did not like the stadium. We wanted to go home. We love you too." + +Dad smiled and said, "It's okay. I understand. But next time, tell me if you want to leave. We can go home together. Now, let's go back to our seats and watch the game. Maybe you will like it more." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They followed their dad back to the stadium. They tried to watch the game and have fun. They learned a lesson. They never tried to escape again. +Lily was a young dog who liked to run and play. She had a big yard with a fence and a ball. She also had a friend, Max, who lived next door. Max was a cat who liked to nap and watch. + +One day, Lily saw a hole in the fence. She was curious and wanted to see what was on the other side. She pushed her nose through the hole and saw a street with cars and people. She thought it looked fun and exciting. She forgot to listen to her mom, who always told her to stay in the yard. She forgot to wear her collar, which had her name and address. She forgot to be careful, and she crawled through the hole. + +Max saw Lily leave the yard. He was worried and wanted to help. He ran after her and called her name. But Lily did not hear him. She was too busy chasing a butterfly and a squirrel. She ran across the street and into a park. She did not see the cars or the people. She did not see the sign that said "No Dogs Allowed". + +Max followed Lily to the park. He saw a man in a uniform who had a leash and a net. He was looking for dogs who did not belong. He saw Lily and tried to catch her. Lily was scared and ran away. She did not know where to go. She wished she was back in her yard with her ball. + +Max ran after Lily and the man. He was brave and smart. He knew how to distract the man. He jumped on his heel and scratched his leg. The man yelled and dropped the leash and the net. Max ran to Lily and told her to follow him. He led her back to the hole in the fence. He helped her crawl through and get to her yard. + +Lily was happy and grateful. She thanked Max and gave him a lick. She said she was sorry for forgetting to be good. She said she learned her lesson and would never leave the yard again. Max said he was glad she was safe and he was her friend. They hugged and went to their homes. Lily's mom was waiting for her. She was angry and worried. She scolded Lily and checked her for injuries. She also gave her a hug and a treat. She said she loved her and she was her baby. Lily said she loved her too and she was sorry. She said she had the best mom and the best friend. She said she was a lucky dog. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they found a big box under a tree. They wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe it is a treasure!" Lily said. "Let's open it and see!" + +Ben nodded. He tried to lift the lid, but it was too heavy. He asked Lily to help him. Together, they pushed and pulled, but the lid did not move. + +"Maybe we need a clever trick," Ben said. He looked around and saw a long stick. He picked it up and put it under the lid. He pushed hard and the lid popped open. + +Lily and Ben gasped. Inside the box, there were many shiny things. There were coins and jewels and toys and books. They were so happy. They reached for the treasure. + +But then, they heard a loud voice. It was the park keeper. He was angry. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my box? That is not a treasure, that is my stuff! I was going to donate it to the charity shop. Give it back to me, now!" + +Lily and Ben felt scared and sorry. They did not know the box belonged to someone. They quickly put everything back and closed the lid. They ran to the park keeper and apologized. + +"We are sorry, sir. We did not mean to take your stuff. We thought it was a treasure. We were just curious," Lily said. + +"Yeah, we are sorry. We did not want to make you angry. We were just looking for fun," Ben said. + +The park keeper sighed. He saw that they were sincere and felt sorry for them too. + +"It's okay, kids. I understand. You were just curious. But you should not open things that are not yours. You could get in trouble or hurt yourself. Next time, ask before you touch, okay?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They thanked the park keeper and said goodbye. They decided to play somewhere else and look for a different kind of treasure. A treasure that was not shiny, but more valuable. A treasure that was friendship. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They live on a farm with their mom and dad. They like to play with the animals and help with the chores. But sometimes they fight and make each other grumpy. + +One day, they have to stack hay in the barn. Tom wants to do it his way, and Sam wants to do it his way. They start to argue and push each other. The hay falls down and makes a mess. Mom and dad hear the noise and come to see what is wrong. + +They are not happy with Tom and Sam. They tell them to stop fighting and work together. They say that hay is important for the animals and the farm. They say that brothers should unite and help each other, not make each other grumpy. + +Tom and Sam feel sorry for what they did. They say sorry to each other and hug.

They say that they are a good team and a good family. They all hug and go to have dinner. They eat and talk and laugh. They are happy and not grumpy anymore. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and brown. It has sharp teeth and loud bark. + +Anna is scared of the dog. She runs away. She hides behind a tree. Ben is not scared of the dog. He walks to the dog. He says, "Hello, dog. You are a good dog. Can I pet you?" + +The dog stops barking. It wags its tail. It sniffs Ben's hand. Ben pets the dog. He feels its soft fur. He says, "You are a nice dog. What is your name?" + +Anna sees Ben and the dog. She is curious. She wants to pet the dog too. She comes out from behind the tree. She walks to Ben and the dog. She says, "Ben, can I pet the dog too?" + +Ben smiles. He says, "Yes, Anna. You can pet the dog. The dog is friendly. He likes us. You have to trust him." + +Anna nods. She trusts Ben. She trusts the dog. She reaches out her finger. She touches the dog's nose. The dog licks her finger. Anna giggles. She says, "The dog is funny. He is powerful.

They are happy. +Lily was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not want help from her mom or dad. One day, she wanted to go to the store to buy a new toy. She asked her mom if she could go alone, but her mom said no. She said it was too far and too dangerous for a little girl. + +Lily was angry and did not listen. She waited until her mom was busy and sneaked out of the house. She took her bike and rode to the store. She did not look at the road or the cars. She did not see the dark clouds or hear the thunder. She only thought about the toy she wanted. + +When she got to the store, she saw a lot of toys. She picked one that looked fun and shiny. She went to the cashier and gave him some money. He gave her the toy and a receipt. Lily was happy and proud. She had gone to the store by herself and bought a toy. + +She put the toy in her backpack and got on her bike. She wanted to go home and show her mom and dad. But as she left the store, she saw a big flash of lightning. It was very bright and loud. It scared Lily and made her jump. She dropped her bike and ran back to the store. She cried and looked for someone to help her. + +The cashier saw her and came to her. He asked her what was wrong. Lily told him she was afraid of the lightning and wanted her mom and dad. He asked her where they were. Lily said she had come to the store alone. He said that was not a good idea. He said she should always listen to her mom and dad and stay with them. He said they would be worried about her and love her very much. + +He called her mom and dad and told them where she was. They came to the store as fast as they could. They hugged Lily and asked her if she was okay. They were glad she was safe, but they were also angry and sad. They told her she had been very naughty and foolish. They told her she could have been hurt or lost. They told her she should never do that again. + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She realized she had made a big mistake. She apologized to her mom and dad and to the cashier. She gave back the toy and the receipt. She said she did not want it anymore. She said she wanted to go home and be with her mom and dad. She said she would listen to them and not be so independent. + +They took her home and gave her a hug and a kiss. They told her they forgave her and loved her. They told her they were proud of her for being honest and brave. They told her she could still be independent, but she also needed to be careful and respectful. They told her they would always be there for her and help her. + +Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that being independent is good, but being reckless is bad. She learned that being independent does not mean being alone. She learned that being independent means being responsible and smart. She learned that being independent also means being loved and cared for. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play at the park. They both loved the big slide, but there was only one slide and many kids. Sometimes they had to wait for their turn, and sometimes they had to share the slide with others. + +One day, Lily and Sam saw a new toy at the park. It was a cheap slide that someone had left behind. It was small and broken, but Lily and Sam thought it was better than the big slide. They ran to the cheap slide and claimed it as theirs. They did not want to share it with anyone. + +"Go away, this is our slide!" they shouted at the other kids who came near. "You can have the big slide, we don't need it!" + +The other kids felt sad and angry. They did not like Lily and Sam's selfishness. They tried to tell them that sharing was good, and that the big slide was more fun, but Lily and Sam did not listen. They kept playing on the cheap slide, pushing and shoving each other. + +Soon, the cheap slide broke even more. It became wobbly and unsafe. Lily and Sam did not notice, until one of them fell off and hurt themselves. They cried and called for help, but the other kids did not come. They were busy enjoying the big slide, sharing and taking turns. + +Lily and Sam realized that they had made a mistake. They had lost their friends and their fun because of a cheap slide. They wished they had been more kind and generous. They learned that sharing was better than being greedy, and that the big slide was more valuable than the cheap slide. They said sorry to each other and to the other kids, and asked if they could join them. The other kids forgave them and welcomed them back. Lily and Sam were happy again, and they never fought over a cheap slide again. +Tom and Sue like to play in the garden. They have a small house made of wood. They pretend it is their home.

They are not glad. They wish they had someone to help them. + +Then, they hear another noise. It is Mom. She is calling their names. She sees the dog and shoos it away. She comes to the small house and knocks on the door. She asks them to open it. They are glad to hear her voice. They find the key and unlock the door. They open it and see Mom. They run to her and hug her. They are very glad. + +Mom asks them what happened. They tell her about the dog and the mints. She is not angry. She is glad they are safe.

His name is Leo. He is big and has curly hair. He speaks a different language. He cannot talk and understand Ben and Mia. He tries to play with them, but they do not want to. + +"Go away, Leo!" Ben says. "We do not like you. You are different. You speak a bad language." + +"Yes, go away!" Mia says. "We do not want to play with you. You are big and scary. You do not belong here." + +Leo feels sad and angry. He wants to be friends with Ben and Mia. He wants to learn their language. He wants to accept them. But they do not accept him. + +He decides to teach them a lesson. He waits until they are alone in the playground. He runs towards them and pushes them hard. They fall to the ground and cry. He laughs and says something in his language. He does not care if they understand him or not. + +Ben and Mia are hurt and scared. They wish they had been nicer to Leo. They wish they had tried to learn his language. They wish they had accepted him. But it is too late. Leo does not want to be their friend anymore. He walks away and leaves them alone. The end. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls and draw pictures. She did not like loud noises or big crowds. She was afraid of the barber shop, where her dad took her to cut her hair. She hated the buzzing sound of the scissors and the sharp edge of the razor. + +One day, her dad said they had to go to the barber shop, because her hair was too long and messy. Lily did not want to go, but her dad said it would be quick and easy. He said he would hold her hand and warn her when the barber was going to use the razor. Lily nodded, but she felt scared. + +They got to the barber shop and waited for their turn. Lily saw a lot of people sitting in chairs, with white cloths around their necks. She saw the barber moving his scissors and razor around their heads, making snip-snip and shh-shh sounds. She heard some people talking and laughing, but she did not understand what they were saying. + +Finally, it was Lily's turn. Her dad lifted her up and put her in a big chair. He wrapped a white cloth around her neck and gave her a smile. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. It will be over soon. Just close your eyes and think of something nice." Lily closed her eyes and tried to think of her dolls and her pictures. + +She felt the barber touch her hair with his scissors. He made snip-snip sounds as he cut her hair. Lily did not like it, but she did not cry. She waited for her dad to warn her about the razor. She hoped he would not forget. + +But he did forget. He was busy talking to the barber about something. He did not see the barber pick up the razor and move it towards Lily's head. He did not hear Lily's gasp as she felt the cold metal on her skin. He did not see the blood that dripped from the cut on her ear. + +Lily screamed. She opened her eyes and saw the razor in the barber's hand. She saw the blood on the white cloth. She saw her dad's face, full of shock and sorry. She was hurt and scared. She wanted to go home. + +The barber said he was sorry. He said it was an accident. He said he would fix it. He said he would give her a lollipop. But Lily did not care. She did not want a lollipop. She did not want a haircut. She did not want a razor. She wanted her dad to hold her and take her away from the barber shop. She wanted her dad to warn her. But he did not. +Sam liked to play hide and seek with his big sister. He was good at finding places to hide, like under the bed or behind the couch. But sometimes he got bored of waiting for his sister to find him, and he wanted to peek out and see where she was. + +One day, they were playing hide and seek in the house. Sam ran to the bathroom and hid in the shower. He pulled the curtain so his sister could not see him. He heard her footsteps and her voice, calling his name. He smiled and tried to be very quiet. + +But then he heard a knock on the door. It was his mom, who had just come home from work. She wanted to use the bathroom. Sam did not know what to do. He did not want to scare his mom, but he also did not want to ruin the game. He blinked his eyes and hoped his mom would go away. + +But his mom did not go away. She opened the door and walked in. She saw the curtain move and pulled it back. She was surprised to see Sam there, holding a toy car. Sam was embarrassed to be caught hiding in the shower. He dropped his toy car and said, "Hi, Mom." + +His mom laughed and hugged him. She said, "What are you doing here, Sam? Are you playing hide and seek with your sister?" Sam nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. But you found me first." His mom said, "Well, you are a very clever hider, Sam. But next time, maybe you should choose a different spot." She winked at him and said, "Now, let's go find your sister and tell her where you were." Sam agreed and followed his mom out of the bathroom. He hoped his sister would not be mad at him for ending the game. He also hoped his mom would not tell anyone else about his silly hiding place. He felt a little embarrassed, but also a little proud. He had found a place that his sister could not find. He had also made his mom laugh. He decided that hide and seek was still his favorite game. +Tommy was a boy who hated food. He did not like to eat anything that was different from his favorite things. He only liked bread, cheese, and milk. He did not like fruits, vegetables, or meat. He did not like sweet, sour, or spicy. He did not like hot, cold, or warm. + +One day, his mom made a big pot of soup for dinner. She put in carrots, potatoes, chicken, and herbs. She said it was good for him and he had to try it. Tommy looked at the soup and felt angry. He did not want to eat it. He said, "No, no, no! I hate soup! I hate different food! I want bread and cheese and milk!" + +His mom was sad. She said, "Tommy, please don't say that. Soup is yummy and healthy. It has many things that you need to grow and be strong. You can have bread and cheese and milk later, but first you have to eat some soup. Just one spoon, okay?" + +Tommy shook his head. He pushed his bowl away. He crossed his arms and pouted. He said, "No, no, no! I hate soup! I hate different food! I want bread and cheese and milk now!" + +His mom sighed. She said, "Tommy, you are being very rude and stubborn. You have to eat what I make for you. You can't always have what you want. You have to try new things. Maybe you will like them if you give them a chance. How do you know you hate soup if you never taste it?" + +Tommy did not listen. He did not want to try new things. He did not want to taste the soup. He did not care if his mom was sad or angry. He only cared about his bread and cheese and milk. He said, "No, no, no! I hate soup! I hate different food! I want bread and cheese and milk now, now, now!" + +His mom had enough. She said, "Tommy, that's it. You are going to your room. You are not getting any bread and cheese and milk. You are not getting any dessert. You are not getting any toys. You are not getting any stories. You are not getting any hugs. You are getting nothing until you eat your soup." + +Tommy was shocked. He did not like his mom's words. He did not like his mom's face. He did not like his mom's voice. He did not like his mom at all. He said, "No, no, no! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" + +His mom picked him up and carried him to his room. She put him on his bed and closed the door. She said, "Tommy, I love you, but you are being very naughty and mean. You have to stay here until you calm down and say sorry. I hope you will change your mind and eat your soup. Good night." + +Tommy cried and screamed. He did not want to stay in his room. He did not want to calm down. He did not want to say sorry. He did not want to eat his soup. He did not want to love his mom. He said, "No, no, no! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" + +But no one heard him. No one came to him. No one gave him what he wanted. He was alone with his hate and his hunger. He felt sad and sorry. He wished he had been nice and tried the soup. He wished he had said thank you and I love you. He wished he had been a good boy. He said, "Mom, mom, mom! I love you! I love you! I love you!" +Lily loved to play her violin. She liked the sounds it made and how it felt in her hands. She played every day with her mom and dad, who also had violins. They made music together and had fun. + +One day, Lily's violin broke. She was very sad and angry. She did not know how it happened. She tried to fix it, but it only made it worse. She threw it on the floor and started to weep. She did not want to play anymore. + +Her mom and dad heard her weep and came to see what was wrong. They saw the broken violin and hugged Lily. They told her they were sorry and that they loved her. They said they would get her a new violin soon and that they could still play with their violins. + +Lily stopped weeping and looked at her mom and dad. She felt a little better and said thank you.

Lily felt happy and forgot about her broken violin. She loved her mom and dad and their violins. They made music together and had fun. +Tom and Sue like to play in the park. They have a ball and a net. They throw the ball to each other and catch it with the net. They have fun. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the ball and wants to play too. The dog runs to the ball and grabs it with his mouth. He runs away with the ball. + +"Hey, that is our ball!" Tom shouts. "Give it back!" + +Sue has an idea. She puts the net on the ground and puts a bone in it. She hopes the dog will see the bone and go to the net. Then she can trap the dog and get the ball back. + +The dog smells the bone and runs to the net. He drops the ball and takes the bone. But when he tries to get out, he is stuck in the net. He barks and wags his tail. + +"Ha, we got you!" Sue says. She picks up the ball and gives it to Tom. + +Tom and Sue are happy. They have their ball back. But they also feel sorry for the dog. He looks sad and scared. + +"Maybe he just wanted to play with us," Tom says. "He is a good dog. He did not mean to take our ball." + +Tom and Sue are humble. They do not want to be mean to the dog.

He is their new friend. + +Tom and Sue are happy too. They have a new friend. They share their ball and their net and their bone. They have more fun. +Sara and Tom are playing with cards. They have to find two cards that match. Sara likes this game, but Tom thinks it is boring. He wants to play something else. + +"Look, I found a match!" Sara says, showing Tom two cards with stars. "Do you have a match?" + +Tom shakes his head. He does not care about the cards. He looks around the room. He sees a door with a sign that says "exit". He wonders what is behind the door. + +"Can we play something else?" Tom asks Sara. "This game is boring. I want to see what is behind the exit door." + +Sara frowns. She does not want to stop playing. She likes the cards. She thinks they are fun and pretty. + +"No, we have to finish the game," Sara says. "We have to find all the matches. Maybe there is a prize at the end." + +Tom does not believe her. He thinks there is no prize. He thinks the exit door is more interesting. He gets up and walks to the door. He tries to open it. + +"Tom, come back!" Sara calls. "You can't go there. That is not for us. That is for grown-ups." + +But Tom does not listen. He pushes the door. It opens. He sees a big hall with many people and things. He is curious. He steps out of the door. + +Sara is scared. She does not know what to do. She drops the cards and runs after Tom. She hopes he is not in trouble. She hopes they can find their way back. She wishes they had kept playing the game. +Lily liked to draw and paint. She had many colors and papers. She wanted to be a painter when she grew up. She liked to look at pictures of painters and their paintings. + +One day, she saw a picture of a very old painting. It was faded and torn. It looked sad. Lily asked her mom, "What is wrong with this painting?" + +Her mom said, "This painting is very old and damaged. It needs to be restored. That means to make it look new and beautiful again. A painter who knows how to restore paintings can do that." + +Lily said, "I want to restore this painting. I want to make it happy again." + +Her mom said, "That is very kind of you, but restoring paintings is not easy. It takes a lot of skill and patience. You need to use special tools and materials. You also need to be very careful not to damage the painting more. It is a job for a professional painter." + +Lily said, "But I am a painter too. I can do it. Please, let me try." + +Her mom said, "Well, okay, but you have to be very gentle and follow my instructions. And you have to use this small brush and this weak paint. This paint is not very bright or strong. It is good for restoring paintings because it does not cover the original paint too much. It just makes it look more alive." + +Lily nodded and took the brush and the paint. She looked at the picture of the old painting and tried to copy the colors and shapes. She painted very slowly and carefully. She did not want to make a mistake. She wanted to make the painting happy. + +After a long time, she finished. She looked at her painting and smiled. It looked more colorful and clear. It looked more like the picture. She showed it to her mom. + +Her mom said, "Wow, Lily, you did a great job. You restored the painting very well. You are a very talented painter. I am proud of you." + +Lily said, "Thank you, mom. I am happy too. I think the painting is happy too. It looks like it is smiling at me." +Lily and Ben are friends.

Lily asks. + +The dog wags his tail and barks. He likes Lily and Ben. + +"Can we pet you, dog?" Ben asks. + +The dog nods and licks Ben's face. He is very friendly. + +Lily and Ben pet the dog. They feel his soft fur and his warm nose. They also feel his weight. He is heavy. + +"You are a big dog. Do you eat a lot?" Lily wonders. + +The dog nods again and barks. He likes to eat bones and meat and cookies. + +"Can we give you a cookie, dog?" Ben offers. + +The dog smiles and nods. He loves cookies. + +Lily and Ben share their cookies with the dog. They make him happy. The dog makes them happy too. + +They play together in the park. They run and jump and roll. They have fun. + +Lily and Ben have a new friend. The big, soft, heavy dog. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to dig and make mud pies. They see a big red door on the wall. They want to know what is behind the door. + +"Let's open the door and see," says Ben. + +"OK," says Anna. + +They run to the door and push it. But the door does not move. It has a lock on it. They try to turn the lock, but it is too hard. + +"Maybe we need a key," says Anna. + +"Where can we find a key?" says Ben. + +They look around the garden. They see a shiny thing under a flower pot. They lift the pot and find a key. + +"Look, a key!" says Anna. + +"Maybe it fits the lock," says Ben. + +They take the key and run back to the door. They put the key in the lock and turn it. The lock makes a click sound. They push the door and it opens. + +"Wow, we did it!" says Anna. + +They look inside the door. They see a lot of big machines and wires. They hear a loud noise. It is very noisy. + +"What is this place?" says Ben. + +"I don't know," says Anna. + +They walk inside the door. They see a man with a white coat and glasses. He is working on a machine. He looks angry. + +"Hey, who are you? How did you get in here?" he says. + +He sees the key in Anna's hand. + +"Give me that key! This is my secret lab! You are not allowed here!" he says. + +He runs to them and tries to grab the key. Anna and Ben are scared. They run away from the man. They run to the door and slam it. They turn the lock and take the key. + +"Let's go!" says Anna. + +They run back to the garden. They hear the man banging on the door. He is very noisy. + +"Let us out! Let us out!" he says. + +Anna and Ben ignore him. They hide the key under the flower pot. They go back to playing with their mud pies. They are happy. They do not want to open the door again. +Tom was a boy who liked to run and jump and play. He had many pants, but his favorite ones were blue and had a big pocket. He liked to put his toy car in the pocket and make it zoom. + +One day, Tom went to the park with his mom and his dog. He saw a big slide and ran to it. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. He was ready to slide down and have fun. + +But he did not see the mud on the slide. He was careless and did not look. He slid down very fast and got his pants all dirty. He also lost his toy car in the mud. He was sad and cried. + +His mom heard him and came to him. She saw his dirty pants and his missing car. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. We can wash your pants and find your car. But next time, be careful and look before you slide." + +She helped him get up and wipe his pants. She also found his toy car in the mud and cleaned it. She gave it back to him and he smiled. He said, "Thank you, mom. I'm sorry I was careless. I will look next time." + +They went to the swings and played some more. Tom was happy again and learned his lesson. He still liked his blue pants and his toy car, but he was more careful with them. +Lily was a little lion who loved to roar. She roared when she was happy, when she was angry, when she was bored, and when she wanted to play. She roared so much that the other animals in the jungle got tired of her noise. They asked her to be quiet, but she did not listen. She thought roaring was fun and made her feel big and strong. + +One day, Lily found a big pile of peanuts near a tree. She had never seen peanuts before, and she was curious. She roared at the peanuts, hoping they would do something. But the peanuts did not move or make any sound. Lily was disappointed. She decided to try one. She picked up a peanut and bit it. It was hard and crunchy and salty. She liked it. She roared again, and ate another one. She ate and ate and ate, until she had eaten all the peanuts. + +But then, something strange happened. Lily felt her mouth and throat itch. She felt her face and body swell. She looked at her reflection in a puddle, and saw that she had turned purple. She was scared and confused. She tried to roar, but only a squeak came out. She had eaten too many peanuts, and she was allergic to them. She had a bad reaction, and she needed help. + +She ran to the other animals, hoping they would help her. But the other animals did not recognize her. They saw a purple creature with a swollen face and a squeaky voice, and they thought it was a monster. They ran away from her, or hid behind the trees, or growled at her. Lily felt alone and sad. She wished she had not eaten the peanuts, and she wished she had not roared so much. She realized that roaring was not always fun or good. Sometimes, it was better to be quiet and listen. + +She saw a monkey on a branch, and she begged him to help her. The monkey looked at her, and saw that she was not a monster, but a lion. He remembered that Lily was the one who always roared at him and his friends, and made them angry. He was tempted to ignore her, or to tease her, or to throw a banana at her. But then, he felt sorry for her. He saw that she was in pain and in trouble, and he decided to be kind. He told her to follow him, and he led her to a pond where there were some plants that could make her feel better. He helped her eat the plants, and drink some water, and wait for the reaction to go away. + +After a while, Lily felt her itch and swell go down. She looked at her reflection again, and saw that she was no longer purple, but yellow and brown. She tried to roar, and heard a loud and clear sound. She was happy and relieved. She thanked the monkey for his help, and apologized for her roaring. She said she had learned her lesson, and she would not eat peanuts again, or roar so much. The monkey smiled, and said he was glad she was okay. He said he hoped they could be friends, and maybe play together sometimes. Lily agreed, and said she would like that. She said she had learned another lesson, too. She had learned that being kind and helpful was better than being mean and noisy. She had learned that the jungle was more fun and peaceful when the animals got along. She had learned that roaring was not everything. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with boats. They had many toy boats of different colors and sizes. They took their boats to the lake and floated them on the water. They pretended to be sailors and pirates and had fun. + +One day, they found a big metal thing on the shore. It was an anchor. They did not know what it was, but they thought it looked cool. They decided to tie it to one of their boats and see what would happen. They chose Sam's boat, because it was the biggest and strongest. + +They dragged the anchor to the water and tied it to Sam's boat. Then they pushed the boat into the lake. The boat moved slowly, because the anchor was heavy. They watched the boat for a while, but they got bored. They wanted to play with their other boats. They left Sam's boat with the anchor and went to another part of the lake. + +Soon, the wind started to blow. The water became wavy and choppy. The other boats rocked and bounced on the waves. Some of them tipped over and got wet. Tom and Sam tried to save their boats, but they could not reach them all. They were sad and scared. + +But Sam's boat with the anchor did not move. The anchor kept it in one place. The boat did not rock or bounce or tip over. It stayed calm and dry. It was peaceful. Tom and Sam saw Sam's boat and ran to it. They untied the anchor and pulled the boat to the shore. They were happy and relieved. + +They learned that the anchor was a good thing. It helped Sam's boat stay safe and stable. It did not let the wind and the waves move it. They decided to keep the anchor and use it when the water was rough. They also decided to share their boats and play together. They realized that being kind and helpful was better than being selfish and greedy. They hugged each other and thanked the anchor. They were good brothers. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see many things in the park. They see trees, flowers, birds, and bugs. + +One day, they see something new. It is big and brown and furry. It has four legs and a long tail. It makes a loud roar. It is a lion! + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. "It is a wild animal!" + +"Where did it come from?" Sam asks. "It does not belong in the park!" + +They are scared. They run away from the lion. They find a safe place to hide. They wait for the lion to go away. + +They hear a voice. It is a man. He is wearing a green hat and a green shirt. He has a big net and a big truck. He is a zookeeper. + +"Sorry, kids, this lion escaped from the zoo. He was looking for some fun. But he is not dangerous. He is very friendly. I will take him back to his home. Do you want to say goodbye to him?" the zookeeper says. + +Tom and Sam are curious. They come out of their hiding place. They see the lion. He is not roaring anymore. He is licking his paws. He looks happy. + +"Bye, lion!" Tom says. "You are very wild, but also very nice!" + +"Bye, lion!" Sam says. "Maybe we will see you again next year!" +Lily and Max were playing with their toy cars in the park. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. Sometimes they crashed into each other and laughed. + +But then a big boy came and took Max's car. He said it was his and ran away. Max was sad and angry. He wanted his car back. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Lily shouted. "Give it back!" + +The big boy stuck out his tongue and said, "No, it's mine now. You can't catch me!" + +Lily and Max ran after him. They tried to get the car, but the big boy was too fast and too strong. He pushed them and kicked them. He was mean and tough. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Max cried. "He stole our car!" + +A cop heard them and came to see what was wrong. He saw the big boy with the car and the little ones with tears. He knew what to do. + +"Stop, stop!" the cop said. "What are you doing?" + +The big boy tried to run away, but the cop caught him. He took the car and gave it back to Max. He scolded the big boy and told him to say sorry. + +"I'm sorry," the big boy mumbled. He looked scared and sorry. + +"Thank you, cop," Lily and Max said. They hugged the cop and smiled. They were happy to have their car back. + +The cop smiled too. He was glad to help. He told them to be careful and to share. He waved goodbye and left. + +Lily and Max went back to playing with their car. They decided to be friends with the big boy and let him play too. They learned that fighting was not fun, but sharing was. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a huge sack near the fence. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tim said. + +"Maybe it has toys or candy!" Sam said. + +They ran to the sack and pulled the string. But when they opened it, they saw something that made them scream. It was a big, hairy spider! + +"Help! Help!" Tim and Sam shouted. + +Their mom heard them and came out. She saw the spider and the sack. + +"Oh, no! That's Mr. Jones' sack. He has a pet spider. He asked me to remind him to take it home today. But I forgot!" Mom said. + +She picked up the sack and the spider and went to Mr. Jones' house. She knocked on the door and said sorry. + +"It's okay. I'm glad you found him. He's very friendly. Do you want to pet him?" Mr. Jones said. + +Tim and Sam shook their heads. They did not like spiders. They ran back to their house and hugged their mom. + +"Mom, please don't forget to remind us to stay away from spiders!" they said. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. + +"I won't forget. I love you, my brave boys!" she said. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, Ben had an idea. He said to Lily, "Do you want to go to the swamp with me? I saw some frogs and bugs there. It is fun!" + +Lily was not sure. She said, "The swamp is wet and muddy. And it smells bad. And there might be snakes or crocodiles. I am afraid." + +Ben said, "Don't be afraid. I will hold your hand. And we can take a stick to poke the water. And we can wear boots and hats. And we can sing a song to scare away the snakes and crocodiles. Come on, it will be an adventure!" + +Lily was still anxious, but she wanted to be brave. And she liked Ben and frogs and bugs. She said, "Okay, I will go with you. But we have to be careful. And we have to tell our moms where we are going." + +Ben said, "Good. Let's go then. We can invite some other friends too, if you want. The more, the merrier!" + +They put on their boots and hats, and took a stick and a bucket. They told their moms they were going to the swamp, and asked if they could invite some other friends. Their moms said yes, but they had to be back before dark. Ben and Lily invited Tom and Anna, who also liked to play outside. They all went to the swamp, holding hands and singing a song. They had fun looking for frogs and bugs, and poking the water. They did not see any snakes or crocodiles, but they heard some strange noises. They laughed and screamed and ran back to their homes, feeling happy and proud. They told their moms about their adventure, and showed them their frogs and bugs. Their moms smiled and hugged them, and said they were very brave. They washed their boots and hats, and put their frogs and bugs in a jar. They said goodbye to their friends, and went to bed, dreaming of the swamp. +Ben and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and hide behind the curtain. They had a big box that was their ship and some toys that were their treasure. + +"Arrr, matey, we have to protect our gold from the bad guys!" Ben said, holding a plastic sword. + +"Arrr, aye, captain, we are the best pirates ever!" Lily said, wearing a paper hat. + +They ran behind the curtain and peeked out. They saw Mom coming with a broom and a bucket. She looked angry. + +"Oh no, it's the sea monster!" Ben whispered. "She wants to clean our ship and take our treasure!" + +"We have to stop her!" Lily whispered back. "Let's throw some balls at her!" + +They grabbed some balls from the box and threw them at Mom. Mom dodged and shouted. + +"Hey, stop that! You are making a mess! This is not a game, this is a curtain!" + +She pulled the curtain and the rod fell down. It hit Ben and Lily on the head. They felt dizzy and started to cry. + +Mom dropped the broom and the bucket and ran to them. She hugged them and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to clean the curtain. It was very dirty and dusty." + +She looked at the curtain and the rod. They were broken and torn. She sighed and said. + +"Now we have to buy a new curtain and a new rod. And we have to clean the living room. And we have to go to the doctor. This is a bad day." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry too. They said sorry to Mom and helped her clean. They learned not to play with the curtain and to be careful with their toys. They also learned that cleaning was not a sea monster, but a good thing to do. +Sara liked to play with her dad's tools. She saw a shiny thing that had a sharp end and a long wire. She wanted to see what it could do. She was careless and did not ask her dad first. + +She took the shiny thing and plugged it into the wall. She heard a loud noise and saw a bright spark. She felt a pain in her hand and dropped the shiny thing. She started to cry. + +Her dad heard her cry and ran to see what happened. He saw the shiny thing on the floor and the spark on the wall. He was angry and scared. He unplugged the shiny thing and checked Sara's hand. She had a small burn and a cut from the sharp end. + +He hugged Sara and told her not to play with his tools. He said they were dangerous and could hurt her. He put a bandage on her hand and a sticker on the wall. He said he was sorry for yelling and that he loved her. He told her to be careful and to ask him before touching anything. + +Sara said she was sorry and that she loved him too. She learned her lesson and never played with his tools again.

Mom said, "I have a surprise for you. Come to the kitchen and see." + +Tom and Lily ran to the kitchen. They saw a big plate of carrot sticks. They liked carrots. They were crunchy and sweet. Mom said, "You can have some carrots, but first you have to do something for me. You have to clap your hands." + +Tom and Lily looked at Mom. They did not understand. Why did they have to clap their hands? Mom smiled and said, "It is a game. I will say a word, and you have to clap your hands as many times as the word has letters.

She wanted to show her dad. + +She went to her dad's room with the pistol. She said, "Look, dad, I painted your pistol. Do you like it?" She smiled and held the pistol. + +Her dad was shocked. He saw the pistol and the paint. He was angry and scared. He said, "Lily, what did you do? That is not a toy. That is a dangerous thing. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. You should never touch it. Give it to me now." + +Lily was sad and confused. She did not know the pistol was dangerous. She did not want to hurt anyone. She wanted to make something beautiful. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I did not know. I was honest. I wanted to show you my painting." + +Her dad took the pistol and put it away. He hugged Lily and said, "I know, Lily. I know you were honest. But you have to be careful. Some things are not for painting. Some things are not for playing. You have to ask me before you touch anything in my room. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, dad. I'm sorry. I love you." + +Her dad said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love your painting. But next time, please paint on paper, not on pistols." +Lily was a little girl who liked to play outside. She had a big yard with many flowers and trees. She also had a dog named Spot who was her best friend. They liked to run and chase and dig and bark. + +One day, Lily and Spot saw a hole in the fence. They were curious and wanted to see what was on the other side. Lily looked at the hole and said, "Let's go, Spot. Maybe we can find something fun." Spot wagged his tail and followed Lily. + +They crawled through the hole and found themselves in a new place. It was not like their yard. It was dark and dirty and noisy. There were big cars and trucks that made loud sounds. There were also mean dogs that growled and barked at them. Lily and Spot were frightened. They wanted to go back to their yard, but they could not find the hole in the fence. + +They ran and ran, looking for a way out. They were tired and scared. They wished they had listened to their mom, who always told them to stay in their yard and not to go near the fence. They had made a big trouble for themselves. + +Finally, they saw a friendly face. It was a man who wore a blue uniform and a shiny badge. He was a police officer. He saw Lily and Spot and said, "Are you lost, little girl? Where do you live?" Lily told him her name and address. He said, "Don't worry, I'll take you home. You and your dog need some rest." He picked up Lily and Spot and put them in his car. He drove them back to their yard and helped them through the hole in the fence. + +Lily and Spot were happy to see their mom. She hugged them and said, "I'm so glad you're safe. I was worried about you. Where did you go?" Lily told her mom what happened. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was naughty. I won't go through the hole again." Her mom said, "I forgive you, Lily. But you have to be careful and obey the rules. They are there to protect you and keep you from trouble." Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I love you." She and Spot went to their bed and took a long rest. They learned their lesson and never went through the hole again. +Lily liked to play with her mom's computer. It was white and shiny and had many pictures and sounds. Lily liked to touch the buttons and see what happened. Sometimes she made the computer say funny things or play music. + +One day, Lily was playing with the computer when her mom was not looking. She saw a red button that looked interesting. She pushed it hard and the computer made a loud noise. Then the screen went black and the computer stopped working. Lily was scared and ran to her mom. + +Mom came and saw the computer. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Lily, you spoiled the computer! Now I can't work or talk to my friends. You are a naughty girl!" She took the computer away and put it in a closet. She said, "You can't play with the computer anymore. It is broken and I don't know how to fix it." + +Lily felt bad and cried. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to spoil the computer. I just wanted to have fun. Please don't be mad at me." Mom hugged Lily and said, "I love you, Lily, but you have to be careful with things that are not yours. The computer is very important and expensive. You have to ask me before you touch it. Maybe we can find someone who can fix it, but it will take a long time and a lot of money." + +Lily said, "I understand, mom. I will be good and listen to you. I hope the computer gets better soon. Can we play with something else?" Mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can. How about we read a book or draw a picture?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. I like books and pictures. They are fun and don't spoil." Mom and Lily went to the living room and found a book and some crayons. They sat on the couch and read and drew together. They were happy and forgot about the computer for a while. +Lily liked to wonder about many things. She wondered why the sky was blue, why the birds sang, and why the sauce on her pasta was red. She asked her mom many questions, but sometimes her mom was busy and said, "Not now, Lily." + +One day, Lily saw a bottle of black sauce in the kitchen. She wondered what it tasted like. She wondered if it was better than red sauce. She wondered if her mom would let her try it. She decided to ask her mom when she came back from the store. + +She waited and waited, but her mom did not come back. She got bored and hungry. She looked at the bottle of black sauce again. She thought, "Maybe I can try a little bit. Mom won't mind." She opened the bottle and poured some sauce on a piece of bread. She took a big bite. + +"Yuck!" Lily spat out the bread. The sauce was very salty and spicy. It burned her tongue and made her eyes water. She ran to the sink and drank some water. She wished her mom was here to help her. + +She heard the door open. It was her mom. She came back from the store with a bag of groceries. She saw Lily's face and the bottle of black sauce on the table. She knew what happened. + +"Oh, Lily, what did you do?" she asked. + +"I tried the black sauce, Mom. It was bad. It hurt my mouth. I'm sorry, Mom," Lily said. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. The black sauce is not for you. It's for dad. He likes it on his steak. Next time, ask me before you try something new. I love you, Lily." + +"I love you too, Mom. Can I have some red sauce on my pasta?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, Lily. Let's make some pasta together. And maybe some cookies for dessert. How does that sound?" her mom said. + +Lily smiled and said, "That sounds good, Mom. Thank you, Mom." + +They went to the kitchen and cooked some pasta with red sauce and some cookies. Lily learned her lesson. She still liked to wonder about many things, but she also liked to listen to her mom. +Lila was a princess who lived in a big castle. She liked to wear pretty dresses and play with her toys. But she was not happy. She wanted to see the world outside the castle. + +One day, she saw a bird fly by her window. It had bright colors and a long tail. Lila wanted to touch it. She opened the window and leaned out. She reached her hand to the bird, but it flew away. + +Lila was sad. She leaned out more and more, hoping to see the bird again. But she did not see that her dress was caught on the window sill. She leaned too far and fell out of the window. + +But she did not hit the ground. She landed on a big, soft cloud. The cloud was white and fluffy. It felt like a pillow. Lila was surprised. She looked around and saw many clouds in the sky. She also saw the bird. It was sitting on a cloud next to her. + +The bird was not afraid of Lila. It came closer and let her touch it. It felt soft and warm. Lila smiled. She made a new friend. The bird was rare and beautiful. Lila was happy. She forgot about the castle and the world. She only wanted to stay on the cloud with the bird. +Tim and Lily liked to play with their kite. It was red and blue and had a long tail. They took it to the park and ran with it. The wind made the kite soar high in the sky. It looked like a bird. + +But then a grumpy man came. He was walking his dog. He did not like kites. He said they were noisy and silly. He grabbed the kite from Tim and Lily. He tore it with his hands. He threw it in the trash. + +Tim and Lily were very sad. They cried and hugged each other. They had no kite to play with. They had no money to buy a new one. They looked at the trash and saw their kite. It was broken and dirty. They saw something shiny in the tail. It was a diamond. The kite had a diamond in it. But they did not know. The grumpy man did not know either. He walked away with his dog. He did not see the diamond. He did not care. + +The end. +Lily likes to play with her orange ball. She can bounce it, roll it, and throw it. Sometimes, she can even catch it. She likes to play with her daddy, too. He is big and strong and funny. + +One day, Lily and her daddy go to the park. They see a big slide, a swing, and a seesaw. Lily wants to try them all. She runs to the slide and climbs up the steps. She sits on the top and looks down. It is very high. She feels scared. + +Daddy sees Lily and smiles. He climbs up the steps and sits behind her. He wraps his arms around her and says, "Don't worry, Lily. I'm here. We can slide together. It will be fun." + +Lily nods and holds daddy's hands. Daddy pushes them off the slide. They go down very fast. Lily feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She hears daddy laugh. She laughs, too. They twist and turn on the slide. They land on the ground with a thud. + +Lily and daddy get up and hug. They are happy. They look at each other and say, "Let's do it again!" +Tom and Lily were having a picnic with their mom and dad. They had sandwiches, apples, cookies, and juice. They also had napkins to wipe their mouths and hands. Mom said napkins were important to keep clean and not make a mess. + +Tom and Lily liked their picnic, but they wanted to have some fun too. They saw a big hill near the picnic spot. They asked mom and dad if they could go and roll down the hill. Mom and dad said yes, but they had to be careful and not get hurt. + +Tom and Lily ran to the hill and started to roll down. They laughed and screamed as they went faster and faster. They felt the wind in their hair and the grass on their skin. They had a lot of fun. + +But when they got to the bottom of the hill, they saw that their clothes were dirty and grassy. They also saw that their napkins had fallen out of their pockets and were flying in the air. They felt bad for losing their napkins and making a mess. + +They ran back to mom and dad and said they were sorry. Mom and dad were not angry, but they were not happy either. They said that Tom and Lily had to learn to be more careful and responsible. They said that napkins were not toys, but tools. They said that they had to include napkins in their picnic, not in their games. + +Tom and Lily said they understood and they would not do it again. They hugged mom and dad and said they loved them. Mom and dad smiled and said they loved them too. They gave them new napkins and helped them clean their clothes. They said that even though they had an ordinary picnic, they had an extraordinary family. +Tom and Mia liked to play in the kitchen. They had a big bowl and a big spoon. They liked to stir things in the bowl. They stirred water and flour and salt. They stirred milk and sugar and eggs. They stirred and stirred and made a mess. + +One day, they saw a large book on the shelf. It had pictures of animals. They liked animals. They opened the book and saw a rhinoceros. It had a big horn and a big nose. It looked strong and scary. They wanted to see a rhinoceros. + +They had an idea. They took some dough from the bowl. They rolled it and shaped it. They made a rhinoceros with the dough. They used a carrot for the horn and a grape for the nose. They put it on a tray and put it in the oven. + +They waited and waited. They smelled something good. They opened the oven and saw their rhinoceros. It was brown and crispy. It looked like a real rhinoceros. They were happy and proud. + +They took the tray out of the oven. They wanted to show their rhinoceros to their mom and dad. But they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a real rhinoceros in the kitchen. It had escaped from the zoo. It was hungry and angry. It saw their rhinoceros and wanted to eat it. + +Tom and Mia were scared. They ran out of the kitchen. They shouted for their mom and dad. They hoped the rhinoceros would not eat their rhinoceros. They hoped the rhinoceros would not eat them. They hoped someone would come and take the rhinoceros away. They learned a lesson. They should not stir things in the kitchen. They should not make animals with dough. They should not open books with animals. They should play with toys instead. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the woods. They had a big dog named Spot who always followed them. One day, they saw a deer in the grass. It was brown and had horns. It looked healthy and strong. + +"Wow, look at the deer!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. Can we pet it?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it is scared of us. We should be quiet and listen." + +They crept closer to the deer, but Spot barked loudly. The deer heard him and ran away. Lily and Tom were sad. They wanted to see the deer more. + +"Bad dog!" Lily said. "You scared the deer. Why did you bark?" + +Spot wagged his tail and licked Lily's face. He was not bad. He was trying to protect them. He had seen something in the bushes that Lily and Tom did not see. It was a big, black bear. It was hungry and angry. It wanted to eat the deer, or maybe the twins. + +Spot barked again and ran towards the bear. The bear roared and stood up. It was very big and scary. Lily and Tom were afraid. They ran back to their house. They hoped Spot would be okay. + +Spot was brave and smart. He knew how to fight the bear. He bit its nose and scratched its eyes. He made it hurt and bleed. The bear was surprised and scared. It decided to leave and find another meal. It ran away from the woods. + +Spot ran back to Lily and Tom. He was happy and proud. He had saved them from the bear. He had a few cuts and bruises, but he was healthy and strong. Lily and Tom hugged him and thanked him. They gave him a big bone and a warm blanket. They loved him very much. + +The end. +Tim and Liz were playing in the big house. They liked to explore the rooms and find new things. One day, they found a door that was locked. They wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe it is a chamber with treasure," Tim said. + +"Or maybe it is a chamber with monsters," Liz said. + +They tried to open the door, but it was too hard. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They were about to give up, when they heard a noise behind the door. It sounded like a growl. + +They were scared. They ran away from the door, but they bumped into a man. He was angry. He had a big beard and a big hat. He was the owner of the house. + +"Who are you? What are you doing here?" he shouted. + +He grabbed Tim by the arm and slapped him. Tim cried. Liz screamed. + +"Please, don't hurt us. We are sorry. We were just playing," Liz said. + +The man looked at them. He saw that they were just children. He felt sorry for them. He let go of Tim and wiped his tears. + +"I'm sorry, too. I didn't mean to slap you. I was just surprised. This is my chamber. It is where I keep my books and my music. I don't like anyone to touch them. They are very precious to me," he said. + +He opened the door and showed them his chamber. It was full of books and music. There were no monsters, only stories and songs. + +"Wow, this is amazing," Tim said. + +"Can we look at them?" Liz asked. + +The man smiled. He nodded. + +"Yes, you can. But be careful. And don't tell anyone about my chamber. It is a secret," he said. + +Tim and Liz nodded. They thanked the man. They entered the chamber. They were not scared anymore. They were curious. They wanted to learn more about the books and the music. They became friends with the man. He taught them many things. They had fun. They never forgot the chamber. +Tom was a boy who liked to play with his bow and arrow. He made them from sticks and string. He wanted to be a hunter like his dad. One day, he saw a big bird in the sky. He thought it was a duck. He aimed his bow and shot his arrow. + +But it was not a duck. It was a hawk. The hawk was angry. It saw Tom and flew down fast. It grabbed Tom's bow and arrow with its claws. It scratched Tom's face and hair. Tom screamed and ran away. + +The hawk followed Tom. It wanted to hurt him more. Tom ran to his village. He hoped his dad or mom would help him. But they were not there. They had gone to the market. No one was in the village. Only Tom and the hawk. + +Tom was scared and confused. He did not know what to do. He hid behind a hut. He hoped the hawk would go away. But the hawk did not go away. It flew around the village. It looked for Tom. It saw him behind the hut. It dived down again. + +Tom heard the hawk's wings and shriek. He had no time to run. The hawk hit him hard. It bit his neck and chest. Tom felt a lot of pain. He could not scream anymore. He fell to the ground. He closed his eyes. He did not wake up. The hawk flew away with Tom's bow and arrow. The end. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lila had a big chest full of dolls and dresses. Ben had a small box with cars and trucks. Lila liked to dress up her dolls and make them talk. Ben liked to zoom his cars and make them crash. + +"Can I play with your dolls, Lila?" Ben asked. He wanted to try something new. + +"No, they are mine!" Lila said. She did not want to share her chest. She thought her dolls were too pretty for Ben. + +"Can I play with your cars, Ben?" Lila asked. She wanted to see how fast they could go. + +"No, they are mine!" Ben said. He did not want to share his box. He thought his cars were too powerful for Lila. + +They both pouted and turned away from each other. They did not have fun. + +Then, Mom came in and saw them. She was not happy. + +"Why are you not playing together?" Mom asked. "You have so many toys, but you are not sharing. Sharing is nice. Sharing is fun. Sharing makes friends." + +She took Lila's chest and Ben's box and put them on the table. + +"Look, you can both play with the dolls and the cars. You can mix and match. You can make stories. You can have more fun. But you have to share. Can you do that?" + +Lila and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry. They nodded. + +"Okay, Mom. We will share."

I didn't mean to break your toys. Please forgive me." + +But Jill and Tom did not listen. They did not want to forgive him. They wanted their toys back. They threw stones and sticks at him. They hit him and hurt him. + +The truck driver ran back to his truck. He was hurt and angry. He did not want to talk to the children anymore. He started his truck and drove away. + +Jill and Tom were left alone on the street. They had no toys and no friends. They had only each other. They hugged and cried.

It is the most beautiful ornament in the box. Anna and Ben both reach for it at the same time. They pull and tug and argue. They don't want to share it. They want to put it on the top of the tree. + +Mom and dad hear the noise and come to see what is wrong. They see Anna and Ben fighting over the star. They look sad and disappointed. They tell Anna and Ben to stop and listen. They say that the star is not just an ornament. It is a symbol of love and peace. It is a reminder of the first Christmas and the gift of Jesus.

He always gave Tom shots and pills and checked his ears and teeth. Tom did not like that at all. He always tried to hide when he saw the vet. + +One day, Tom's owner took him to the vet. Tom knew something was wrong. He smelled the vet's office and heard the other dogs barking. He pulled on his leash and tried to run away. But his owner was stronger and dragged him inside. + +The vet smiled and said hello to Tom. He lifted him up and put him on a scale. He said, "Wow, Tom, you have gained some weight. You need to eat less and exercise more." Tom did not understand what he said, but he felt the vet's hand on his belly. He felt ashamed and scared. + +He wanted to get off the scale and go home. He whimpered and looked at his owner. His owner said, "Don't worry, Tom, it's okay. You are still a good dog. We just need to help you stay healthy." He petted Tom's head and gave him a treat. Tom felt a little better, but he still hated the vet. He hoped the vet would not give him any more shots or pills. He hoped he could go home soon and play with his ball. He hoped his owner would love him even if he was hairy and had some weight. He loved his owner very much. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend they are driving on the road. + +One day, Tim finds a card in his dad's wallet. It has his dad's face and name on it. Tim thinks it is a license. He shows it to Jen. + +"Look, Jen, I have a license. I can drive a real car now," Tim says. + +Jen is not impressed. She thinks the card is dull. It has no bright colors or stickers. She says, "That is not a license, Tim. That is a card. You cannot drive a real car. You are too small." + +Tim does not like what Jen says. He feels angry. He says, "Yes, I can. I have a license. You are just jealous. You have no license." + +Jen feels hurt. She says, "No, I am not. You are silly. You have no car. You have only toys." + +Tim and Jen start to argue. They raise their voices. They do not share their cars. They do not have fun. + +Their mom hears them. She comes to their room. She sees the card in Tim's hand. She says, "Tim, what are you doing with dad's card? That is his license. You cannot take it. You have to give it back." + +Tim feels ashamed. He says, "Sorry, mom. I thought it was a license. I wanted to drive a real car." + +Mom says, "I understand, Tim. But you cannot drive a real car yet. You have to wait until you are older. And you have to respect dad's things. And you have to be nice to Jen. She is your sister. You have to share and play together." + +Tim says, "Sorry, Jen. I was mean to you. You are right. It is just a card. It is dull. I like our cars better. They are more fun." + +Jen says, "It's okay, Tim. I was mean to you too. I like our cars too. They are more fun. Can we play together again?" + +Tim and Jen hug. They say sorry to mom. They give back the card to dad. They play with their cars. They feel happy. +Tommy loved to paint. He had many colorful paints and brushes. He liked to make pictures of his family, his toys, and his dog. He was very happy when his mom gave him a big sheet of paper to paint on. + +"Be careful, Tommy," his mom said. "Don't spill the paints on the floor or the couch. And don't eat the paints. They are not food." + +"I know, mom," Tommy said. "I will be careful. I want to make a nice picture for you." + +Tommy started to paint. He used red, blue, yellow, and green. He made a sun, a sky, a grass, and a flower. He was very proud of his work. He wanted to add some white to make the sun shine more. He looked for his white paint, but he could not find it. He saw a jar of cream on the table. It looked like white paint. He thought he could use it for his picture. + +He reached for the jar of cream, but he did not see his dog behind him. His dog was curious. He wanted to see what Tommy was doing. He wagged his tail and bumped into Tommy. Tommy stumbled and dropped the jar of cream. The cream spilled all over the floor, the couch, and Tommy's picture. + +"Oh no!" Tommy cried. "My picture is ruined! And mom will be mad!" + +His mom heard his cry and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and was not happy. She scolded Tommy and his dog. + +"Tommy, what did you do? You made a big mess! And why did you use cream for your picture? You know cream is not paint. It is food. You wasted it. And you ruined your picture and the couch. You have to clean this up right now." + +"I'm sorry, mom," Tommy said. "I wanted to make the sun shine more. I could not find my white paint. I thought cream was like paint. I did not mean to spill it. It was an accident. My dog bumped into me." + +His mom sighed. She was angry, but she also felt sorry for Tommy. She saw his sad face and his ruined picture. She knew he liked to paint and he tried to make something nice for her. + +"I know, Tommy," she said. "I know you did not mean to do it. But you have to be more careful. And you have to listen to me. Cream is not paint. It is food. You can't use it for your picture. You have to use your paints. And you have to watch out for your dog. He is not a good helper. He is a troublemaker." + +"I understand, mom," Tommy said. "I will be more careful. And I will listen to you. And I will clean up the mess. Can I have another sheet of paper to paint on?" + +His mom smiled. She gave him a hug and a kiss. She gave him another sheet of paper and a new jar of white paint. + +"Yes, you can, Tommy," she said. "But only after you clean up the mess. And only if you promise to use your paints and not cream. And only if you keep your dog away from your paints. Do you promise?" + +"I promise, mom," Tommy said. "Thank you, mom. I love you, mom." + +"I love you too, Tommy," his mom said. "Now go and clean up. And then you can paint. And maybe you can make a picture of your dog. He is a good dog, even if he is a troublemaker." + +Tommy nodded. He went to clean up the mess. He was sad, but he was also hopeful. He still loved to paint. He still had many colorful paints and brushes. He still wanted to make a nice picture for his mom. And he still loved his dog, even if he was a troublemaker. He thought maybe he could make his dog look more colorful with his paints. He smiled. He had a new idea. He hoped his mom would like it. +Tim and Sam were playing with their toy cars in the yard. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. They had a big box of screws that they used to fix their cars when they broke. + +One day, they saw a new car in the yard. It was shiny and red and had four big wheels. They wanted to play with it, but it was too high for them to reach. They tried to climb on a chair, but it was too wobbly. They tried to use a stick, but it was too short. They felt helpless. + +Then, they saw their dad coming home from work. He had a big smile on his face and a key in his hand. He walked to the new car and opened the door. He said, "Boys, this is a surprise for you. It's a pedal car. You can drive it by yourself. Do you like it?" + +Tim and Sam were so happy. They ran to their dad and hugged him. They thanked him for the new car. They climbed inside and put on their seat belts. They recognized the screws on the dashboard. They said, "Dad, can we use our screws to fix the car if it breaks?" + +Their dad laughed and said, "Sure, you can. But I don't think it will break. It's very strong and well-made. Just be careful and have fun." + +Tim and Sam nodded and started to pedal. They made the car go fast and make loud noises. They felt like they were driving a real car. They loved their new car and their dad. They were very happy. +Anna was a humble girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She always asked before she touched anything and said thank you when her mom gave her something. One day, her mom was making soup and Anna wanted to taste it. She asked her mom, "Can I have a spoon, please?" Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can have a spoon, but be careful, the soup is hot." She gave Anna a spoon and a small bowl of soup. + +Anna was very happy and said, "Thank you, mom!" She blew on the soup to cool it down and then took a sip. It was delicious! She liked the carrots and the noodles and the chicken. She wanted to share it with her teddy bear, who was sitting on the table. She asked her mom, "Can I allow teddy to have some soup, please?" Her mom laughed and said, "Yes, you can allow teddy to have some soup, but only a little bit. He might get messy." She helped Anna pour a tiny drop of soup on teddy's mouth. + +Anna was very proud and said, "There you go, teddy! You can have some soup too. It is yummy!" She hugged her teddy and gave him a kiss. Then she finished her soup and said, "Mom, can I have some more, please?" Her mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can have some more, but only if you wash your spoon first. We don't want to waste water." She showed Anna how to rinse her spoon under the faucet and dry it with a towel. + +Anna was very obedient and said, "Okay, mom! I will wash my spoon and then have some more soup." She did as her mom said and then enjoyed another bowl of soup. She thanked her mom again and said, "You are the best, mom! I love you and I love your soup!" Her mom hugged her and said, "I love you too, Anna! You are a very humble and sweet girl. I am proud of you!" They smiled and cuddled and then cleaned up the kitchen together. +Lila liked to play on the beach with her big brother Sam. They had a lot of fun making sand castles, digging holes, and finding shells. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs in the water, and Sam told Lila their names. He said they lived in the reef, where there were many colors and shapes. + +One day, Sam found a big starfish on the sand. He showed it to Lila and said it was a friendly starfish. He said it could not hurt them, and they could touch it gently. Lila was curious and reached out her hand. The starfish felt soft and bumpy. She smiled and said hello to the starfish. + +Sam had an idea. He said they could throw the starfish back into the water, so it could go home to the reef. He said the starfish would be happy there, and maybe they would see it again. Lila agreed and said goodbye to the starfish. She held it with both hands and threw it as far as she could. + +But Lila did not throw it very far. The starfish landed on a big rock, and broke into pieces. Lila and Sam gasped and ran to the rock. They saw the starfish was not moving, and had cracks and holes. They felt very sad and sorry. They did not mean to hurt the starfish. They wanted to help it. + +They buried the starfish in the sand, and made a cross with two sticks. They said a prayer for the starfish, and asked it to forgive them. They said they would be more careful next time, and not throw things that could break. They hugged each other and walked back to their mom, who was waiting for them with a picnic. They learned a lesson that day, and never forgot the friendly starfish. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to make noises and pretend they were going on adventures. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm driving to the zoo!" Ben said, moving his car on the carpet. + +"I want to go to the zoo too!" Sara said, holding her doll. "Can my doll come with you?" + +"Okay, but be careful. There are big animals at the zoo. They might bite your doll." Ben said, making a scary face. + +Sara nodded and put her doll in the car. She was not afraid of the big animals. She wanted to see them and hear them roar. + +They drove their car to the sofa, which was the zoo. They saw a lion, a tiger, a bear, and a monkey. They were all stuffed animals that belonged to their older brother, Tom. + +"Wow, look at them!" Sara said, pointing at the lion. "He has a big mane and sharp teeth." + +"Roar!" Ben said, imitating the lion. "He is the king of the zoo. He can do whatever he wants." + +"Can I touch him?" Sara asked, feeling curious. + +"No, don't do that. He might bite you." Ben said, shaking his head. + +But Sara did not listen. She had an urge to touch the lion. She thought he was soft and fluffy. She reached out her hand and touched his mane. + +"Ow!" Sara cried, pulling back her hand. The lion had a button on his chest that made him roar and move his mouth. He had bitten Sara's finger. + +"Are you okay?" Ben asked, worried. + +"It hurts!" Sara said, showing him her finger. It had a red mark on it. + +"Let me see." Ben said, taking her finger. He looked at it closely. "You need an x-ray." + +"An x-ray?" Sara asked, confused. + +"Yes, an x-ray. It's a machine that can see inside your finger. It can tell if you have a boo-boo or not." Ben said, sounding smart. + +"Where can we get an x-ray?" Sara asked, feeling scared. + +"We can go to the kitchen. Mom has an x-ray." Ben said, lying. + +He remembered that Mom had a microwave in the kitchen. He thought it looked like an x-ray. He wanted to trick Sara and make her feel foolish. + +They took their toys and went to the kitchen. Mom was not there. She was in the garden, watering the flowers. + +"Here it is." Ben said, pointing at the microwave. "This is the x-ray. Put your finger inside and I'll press the button." + +Sara did as he said. She put her finger inside the microwave and waited. + +"Ready?" Ben asked, smiling. + +"Ready." Sara said, nodding. + +Ben pressed the button and the microwave started to beep and spin. + +"What's happening?" Sara asked, feeling nervous. + +"Don't worry. It's just the x-ray. It will make your finger better." Ben said, lying. + +But he was wrong. The microwave was not an x-ray. It was a machine that made things hot. It was not good for fingers. + +Sara felt a pain in her finger. It was getting hotter and hotter. She screamed and pulled out her finger. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara cried, holding her finger. It was red and swollen. + +"What did you do?" Mom asked, running into the kitchen. She had heard the scream and the beep. + +She saw Sara crying and Ben looking guilty. She saw the microwave and the toys. + +She understood what had happened. She was angry and worried. + +"Ben, how could you do that? That was very foolish and mean. You could have hurt Sara badly. You know the microwave is not a toy. You know it's not an x-ray." Mom said, scolding Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I was just playing. I didn't mean to hurt her." Ben said, feeling sorry. + +"Sorry is not enough. You have to be more careful and kind. You have to tell the truth. You have to say sorry to Sara." Mom said, teaching Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I was wrong. I lied to you. I hope your finger is okay." Ben said, apologizing to Sara. + +"It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But don't do that again. It was not fun. It was scary and painful." Sara said, accepting his apology. + +Mom took Sara's finger and put some ice and a bandage on it. She hugged her and kissed her. + +"You'll be fine, Sara. Your finger will heal soon. But next time, don't touch the lion. He might bite you." Mom said, warning Sara. + +"I +Tommy loved to play soccer with his friends. He was very good at kicking the ball and scoring goals. He wanted to win a trophy like his big brother. His big brother had a shiny trophy on his shelf that he got from his soccer team. + +One day, Tommy's mom told him that there was a soccer tournament for kids his age. She asked him if he wanted to join. Tommy was very excited and said yes. He wanted to play in the tournament and win a trophy. He insisted that his mom sign him up right away. + +The day of the tournament came and Tommy was ready. He wore his soccer shoes and his jersey. He met his friends and his coach at the field. He saw the other teams and the big trophy that the winner would get. He wanted that trophy very much. + +The tournament started and Tommy played very well. He scored many goals and helped his team win the first game. He scored more goals and helped his team win the second game. He was very happy and proud. He was sure that his team would win the trophy. + +The final game was against the best team in the tournament. They had a big boy who was very fast and strong. He scored a lot of goals and made it hard for Tommy's team to score. The game was very close and exciting. Tommy tried his best to score, but the big boy always stopped him. The time was almost up and the score was tied. + +Tommy saw his chance. He got the ball and ran towards the goal. He saw the big boy coming to stop him. He kicked the ball as hard as he could. The ball flew past the big boy and the goalie and into the net. Tommy scored the winning goal! He was so happy that he jumped and shouted. His team ran to him and hugged him. They had won the trophy! + +Tommy's mom was watching from the sidelines. She was very proud of her son. She clapped and cheered for him. She saw him lift the trophy and smile. She went to him and gave him a big hug and a kiss. She told him that he did a great job and that she loved him. Tommy was very happy. He had won a trophy like his big brother. But he knew that his mom's hug and kiss were more important than any trophy. He loved his mom more than anything. He was a regular boy with a big heart. +Tom and Mia liked to play with dough. They had many colors of dough and many shapes to make. They could make animals, cars, flowers, and more. They were very creative with dough. + +One day, they wanted to make a big cake with dough. They took all the dough they had and put it in a big bowl. They mixed and mixed the dough until it was soft and smooth. Then they rolled it flat on the table. They cut out a big circle and put it on a plate. They cut out smaller circles and put them on top of the big circle. They made the cake look like a tower. +
