Now we have to get a new rake and put a band-aid on your knee." + +"I'm sorry, Dad," Tom said, sniffling. "I was just trying to have fun. I didn't mean to break the rake." + +Dad sighed. He picked up Tom and hugged him. He was not too mad, but he wanted Tom to learn his lesson. + +"It's okay, Tom. I know you didn't mean it. But you have to be careful with tools. They are not toys. They can break or hurt you or someone else. Next time, listen to me and Lily, okay?" + +"Okay, Dad," Tom said. "I'm sorry, Lily. I'll be more careful next time." + +Lily smiled and hugged Tom. She was glad he was okay. She hoped he would be more careful next time. + +The end. +Sara was a big girl who liked to help her mom. One day, her mom had to go to the store and asked Sara to stay with her dad. Sara said yes and gave her mom a hug. Her mom said, "If you need anything, call me on the phone, okay?" Sara nodded and said, "Okay, mom." + +Sara and her dad played with her toys for a while. Then, her dad said, "I have to do some work on the computer, Sara. Can you play by yourself for a bit?" Sara said yes and went to her room. She saw her phone on the bed. It was a toy phone, but it looked like a real one. Sara liked to pretend to call her friends and family on her phone. + +She picked up her phone and pressed some buttons. She heard a voice say, "Hello, this is Anna. Who is this?" Sara was surprised. She did not know who Anna was. She said, "Hello, this is Sara. How did you get my phone?" Anna said, "I don't know. I was playing with my phone and it rang. Maybe we have the same phone." Sara said, "Maybe. Do you want to be my friend?" Anna said, "Sure. I like to make new friends. Where do you live?" Sara said, "I live in a blue house with my mom and dad. What about you?" Anna said, "I live in a yellow house with my grandma and grandpa. They are very nice." + +Sara and Anna talked for a long time. They told each other their favorite colors, animals, and games. They laughed and had fun. They did not notice that their phones were making a loud noise. It was an alert. It meant that their batteries were low. They had to say goodbye soon. + +Sara said, "Anna, I have to go. My phone is making a noise. It means it is tired. I have to charge it." Anna said, "Me too. My phone is making the same noise. I have to plug it in. It was nice to talk to you, Sara. Can we call each other again?" Sara said, "Yes, please. I like you, Anna. You are a good friend. I will call you tomorrow, okay?" Anna said, "Okay, Sara. I will wait for your call. Bye-bye." Sara said, "Bye-bye, Anna." + +Sara hung up her phone and ran to her dad. She said, "Dad, dad, guess what? I made a new friend on the phone. Her name is Anna. She lives in a yellow house. She likes pink and cats and hopscotch. Can I call her again tomorrow?" Her dad smiled and said, "Wow, Sara, that's amazing. How did you meet her?" Sara said, "I don't know. I just pressed some buttons and she said hello. She was very nice. I want to introduce you to her, dad. Can I?" Her dad said, "Sure, Sara. I would love to meet your new friend. But first, let's charge your phone, okay? We don't want it to die." Sara said, "Okay, dad. Let's charge my phone. And then, let's call mom and tell her about Anna. She will be happy, too." Her dad said, "Okay, Sara. Let's do that. You are a very smart and friendly girl, Sara. I'm proud of you." Sara hugged her dad and said, "Thank you, dad. I love you." Her dad said, "I love you, too, Sara." +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with a hole. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Maybe there are birds or squirrels," Sara said. + +"Or maybe there is treasure," Ben said. + +They climbed the tree and looked into the hole. They saw a jar of honey. It was shiny and sweet. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. He reached for the jar. + +"Be careful, Ben," Sara said. "Maybe someone left it there for a reason." + +But Ben did not listen. He grabbed the jar and pulled it out. He opened it and licked his finger. + +"Mmm, this is yummy!" he said. + +But then they heard a loud buzz. A swarm of angry bees came out of the hole. They were mad that someone took their honey. + +"Uh-oh, we have to run!" Sara said. + +They jumped down from the tree and ran to the house. The bees followed them. They stung them on their arms and legs. They cried and screamed. + +Mom heard them and came out. She saw them covered in bees and honey. She was shocked and worried. + +"What happened to you?" she asked. + +"We found honey in the tree, but it was the bees' honey," Sara said. + +"You should not take things that are not yours," Mom said. "That is very naughty and dangerous." + +She took them inside and gave them medicine and ice. She cleaned their wounds and clothes. They were very messy and sore. + +They learned their lesson. They never returned to the tree again. They said sorry to the bees and to Mom. They promised to be more careful and respectful. +Mila and Ben were twins who loved to pick blueberries in the forest. They had a big basket to fill with the juicy fruits. But they had to be careful, because there was a mighty bear who lived in the forest too. The bear liked blueberries as well, and he did not like to share. + +One day, Mila and Ben found a big bush full of blueberries. They were so happy, they started to pick them fast. But they did not see the bear, who was sleeping behind the bush. He woke up when he heard them, and he was very angry. He roared and showed his big teeth. + +Mila and Ben were scared. They dropped their basket and ran away. But the bear was faster, and he chased them. Mila and Ben looked for a place to hide. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They ran to the tree and climbed inside. They hoped the bear would not find them. + +They stayed very quiet in the tree. They could hear the bear sniffing and growling outside. They hugged each other and whispered. + +"Mila, I'm sorry we took the bear's blueberries," Ben whispered. + +"Me too, Ben. I hope he goes away soon," Mila whispered. + +They waited and waited, until they heard the bear leave. They peeked out of the hole and saw that he was gone. They also saw that he had eaten all their blueberries. They felt sad, but they were glad they were safe. + +They decided to go home and tell their mom what happened. They learned a lesson: they should not take what belongs to someone else, especially a mighty bear. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big kangaroo. The kangaroo is brown and has a long tail. It hops and jumps in the grass. + +"Wow, look at the kangaroo!" Tom says. "It is so fast and strong!" + +"I want to be a kangaroo too!" Mia says. "Let's act like kangaroos!" + +Tom and Mia start to hop and jump like the kangaroo. They have fun and make funny noises. They pretend to have pouches and big ears. + +But then, Tom hops too high and falls down. He lands on a rock and hurts his knee. He cries and holds his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow! My knee is hurt!" Tom says. + +Mia stops hopping and runs to Tom. She sees his knee is red and has a cut. She feels sorry for Tom. + +"Don't cry, Tom. I will help you." Mia says. "Let's go to the bench and put a band-aid on your knee." + +Mia helps Tom to get up and walk to the bench. She takes out a band-aid from her backpack and puts it on Tom's knee. She gives him a hug and a kiss. + +"There, there. You are a brave kangaroo." Mia says. "Does your knee feel better?" + +Tom smiles and nods. He thanks Mia for being a good friend. He looks at the kangaroo and waves. + +"Bye, bye, kangaroo. You are cool, but I like to be a boy." Tom says. + +Mia laughs and agrees. They hold hands and walk back to their moms. They are happy and still friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to visit their grandma every week. Grandma has a big garden with many flowers and animals. She also has a big kitchen where she makes yummy food. + +One day, Lily and Ben go to visit grandma. They help her feed the chickens and the rabbits. They give them corn and carrots and water. The animals are happy and make funny noises. Lily and Ben laugh and clap their hands. + +"Thank you for helping me, my dears," grandma says. "Now, let's go inside and have some cookies and milk." + +Lily and Ben follow grandma to the kitchen. They see a big plate of cookies on the table. They smell so good. Lily and Ben want to eat them right away. + +But grandma says, "Wait a minute, my dears. You have to wash your hands first. They are very messy from the garden. Look, you have dirt and feathers and fur on them. Come, I will show you where the sink is." + +Lily and Ben nod and go with grandma. They wash their hands with soap and water. They dry them with a towel. They feel much cleaner. + +"Good job, my dears," grandma says. "Now, you can have some cookies and milk. But be careful, don't spill them on the floor." + +Lily and Ben say, "Okay, grandma." They sit on the chairs and take some cookies and milk. They eat them slowly and carefully. They are very tasty. Lily and Ben smile and say, "Thank you, grandma. We love you." + +Grandma smiles and says, "I love you too, my dears. You are very good and helpful. I'm glad you came to visit me." +Lila was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. She liked to feed her doll, her teddy bear and her cat every day. She gave them water, milk and cookies and pretended they were her babies. + +One day, the weather was very bad. It was raining and windy and cold. Lila could not go outside and play. She was bored and sad. She looked at her doll, her teddy bear and her cat. They looked bored and sad too. + +"Let's have a tea party!" Lila said. "We can feed each other and have fun!" She took a tray and put some cups, plates and spoons on it. She filled the cups with water and the plates with cookies. She carried the tray to her room and set it on the floor. + +She invited her doll, her teddy bear and her cat to join her. She gave them each a cup and a plate and said, "Here you go, my babies. Drink and eat and be happy!" She smiled and pretended they smiled back. + +She fed her doll a cookie and said, "You are so sweet, my doll. I love you." She fed her teddy bear a cookie and said, "You are so soft, my teddy. I love you." She fed her cat a cookie and said, "You are so furry, my cat. I love you." + +Her cat did not like the cookie. He spat it out and meowed. He jumped off the tray and ran away. Lila was surprised and sad. She did not understand why her cat did not want to play with her. + +She looked at her doll and her teddy bear. They did not move or make any sound. They did not seem to like the tea party either. Lila felt lonely and sad. She wished she had someone to talk to and play with. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was her mom. She came in and saw Lila and her tea party. She smiled and said, "What are you doing, my big girl?" + +Lila looked at her mom and said, "I was trying to feed my babies, but they don't like me. They don't want to play with me." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Oh, my sweetie, they do like you. They are just toys and animals. They can't talk or play like you. But I can. I'm here for you. Do you want to feed me a cookie?" + +Lila nodded and smiled. She gave her mom a cookie and said, "You are so nice, my mom. I love you." + +Her mom ate the cookie and said, "You are so kind, my Lila. I love you too." + +They hugged and kissed and laughed. They finished the tea party and cleaned up the mess. They played some more games and read some books. They had fun and were happy. + +The weather was still bad, but Lila did not mind. She had her mom and her mom had her. They were independent, but they also needed each other. They were a family and they loved each other. +Anna and Ben liked to play in the woods. They made a fort with sticks and leaves. They pretended to be brave knights and princesses. But they had to be quiet. Mama said there was a witch in the woods. She did not allow them to go too far. + +One day, they heard a strange noise. It sounded like a cat, but louder and meaner. They looked around and saw a big black cat. It had yellow eyes and sharp teeth. It was the witch's cat! + +"Run!" Anna said to Ben. They grabbed their sticks and ran back to their fort. The cat followed them, hissing and growling. + +"Help!" Ben shouted. "The witch's cat is after us!" + +Mama heard them and came out of the house. She saw the cat and picked up a broom. She waved it at the cat and said, "Shoo! Go away, you nasty cat! Leave my children alone!" + +The cat was scared of Mama and the broom. It turned around and ran away. Mama hugged Anna and Ben and took them inside. She gave them cookies and milk. + +"Are you OK, my darlings?" she asked. + +"Yes, Mama," Anna said. "But we don't want to play in the woods anymore. The witch's cat is too scary." + +Mama smiled and kissed them. "You are very brave, my darlings. But you are right. The woods are not safe. You can play in the garden or in the park. But always be careful and listen to me. I love you very much." + +Anna and Ben nodded and hugged Mama. They felt safe and happy. They did not want to see the witch's cat ever again. +Lily liked to play with her dolls in the living room. She had a big armchair that was her castle, and she pretended to be a princess. She had a lot of fun making up stories and dressing up her dolls. + +But her brother Max did not like her dolls. He thought they were silly and boring. He liked to play with his cars and trucks, and he liked to make a lot of noise. He also liked to tease Lily and take her dolls away. + +One day, Lily was playing with her dolls in the armchair, when Max came in. He saw her dolls and said, "What are you doing with these crazy things? They are not real. They are just toys. You should play with something else." He grabbed one of her dolls and threw it on the floor. + +Lily was very angry and sad. She shouted, "Stop! Stop! That is my doll. You are mean. Give it back to me." She tried to get her doll, but Max was faster. He ran around the room with the doll, laughing and taunting her. + +Lily chased him, but she could not catch him. She felt like crying. She wished he would leave her alone. She wished he would stop being so mean. She did not know what to do. + +But then, she had an idea. She remembered that Max was afraid of spiders. She had seen him scream and run away when he saw one in the bathroom. She looked around and saw a toy spider on the shelf. It was black and hairy and had eight legs. She grabbed it and hid it behind her back. + +She pretended to give up and said, "Fine. You can have my doll. I don't care. You are right. They are just toys. They are not real." She walked towards Max, who was sitting on the couch with the doll. He smiled and said, "Ha! I knew you would say that. You are a baby. You don't know how to play." + +Lily smiled too, but not for the same reason. She said, "Yes, I am a baby. And you know what babies like? They like spiders. They think they are cute and friendly. Do you want to see my spider?" She showed him the toy spider and threw it at him. + +Max screamed and dropped the doll. He jumped off the couch and ran away. He was scared and shocked. He did not like spiders. He did not like Lily's trick. He thought she was crazy. + +Lily picked up her doll and hugged it. She was happy and proud. She had got her doll back. She had taught Max a lesson. She had made him stop being mean. She went back to her armchair and continued to play with her dolls. She was not a baby. She was a princess. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big hole in the fence. They want to see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go, Sara," Ben says. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"No, Ben," Sara says. "Mum says we should not go out of the garden. It is not safe." + +But Ben does not listen. He crawls through the hole. Sara follows him. She does not want to be alone. + +They see a big house. It looks old and dark. There are no people or cars. Only weeds and dust. + +"Wow, look at that," Ben says. "Maybe we can find some toys or books." + +"No, Ben," Sara says. "This house is scary. Let's go back." + +But Ben does not listen. He runs to the door. He pushes it. It opens with a loud creak. + +They go inside. They see a big hall. There are many doors and stairs. There are also many cobwebs and spiders. + +"Wow, look at that," Ben says. "Maybe we can find some treasure or secrets." + +"No, Ben," Sara says. "This house is spooky. Let's go back." + +But Ben does not listen. He picks a door. He opens it. He sees a big table. There are many cups and plates. There is also a big pot. + +"Wow, look at that," Ben says. "Maybe we can find some tea or cake." + +"No, Ben," Sara says. "This house is creepy. Let's go back." + +But Ben does not listen. He goes to the pot. He lifts the lid. He sees something inside. + +It is not tea. It is a big snake. It hisses and snaps at Ben. + +Ben screams. Sara screams. They are very frightened. + +They run out of the door. They run out of the house. They run back to the hole. They crawl through the hole. They run back to the garden. + +They hug each other. They are very glad to be safe. + +They see Mum. She is angry. She saw them go out of the garden. + +"Where have you been?" Mum says. "What have you done?" + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They do not want to tell Mum. They are very sorry. + +They say, "We are sorry, Mum. We will not do it again." + +Mum hugs them. She is glad they are safe. She says, "I love you, Sara and Ben. But you should not go out of the garden. It is not safe." + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "We love you, Mum. We will not go out of the garden. It is not safe." + +They learn their lesson. They never go out of the garden again. They never see the snake again. They never want to see the snake again. +Lily and Ben love to watch films on the big screen. They like to see different animals, places and people. Sometimes they laugh, sometimes they cry, sometimes they learn new things. They always zip their coats when they go out, because it is cold outside. + +One day, they go to see a film about a unique bird. The bird has many colors and can sing very well. Lily and Ben are excited to see the bird. But when they get to the cinema, they see a long line of people. They have to wait and wait and wait. They feel bored and hungry and cold. + +"Can we go home?" Ben asks. "I don't want to see the bird anymore." + +"No, we can't go home," Lily says. "We already paid for the tickets. And I want to see the bird. It is unique. Maybe we will never see it again." + +"But I'm tired and hungry and cold," Ben says. "And the line is not moving. Maybe the film is broken." + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They raise their voices and make faces. They forget to be nice to each other. They make other people angry and sad. + +"Shh, shh, quiet, please," a man says. He works at the cinema. He has a badge and a hat. He looks at Lily and Ben. "I'm sorry, but the film is broken. We can't show it today. You can get your money back or choose another film." + +Lily and Ben stop arguing. They feel sorry and ashamed. They look at each other and say sorry. They hug and smile. They decide to choose another film. They hope it will be fun and interesting. They zip their coats and follow the man. They still love to watch films on the big screen. +Sara was a pretty daughter who liked to pray. She prayed every night before she went to sleep. She prayed for her mommy and daddy, her dog and cat, and her friends and toys. She thanked God for all the good things in her life. + +One night, Sara heard a loud noise outside her window. She was scared and ran to her mommy and daddy's room. She saw them sleeping on the bed. She tried to wake them up, but they did not move. She saw blood on their pillows and chests. She screamed and cried. + +A bad man came into the room. He had a big knife in his hand. He saw Sara and smiled. He said, "Hello, little girl. You are so pretty. Do you want to play with me?" + +Sara was very afraid. She said, "No, please, go away. Leave me alone. You hurt my mommy and daddy. You are a bad man." + +The bad man laughed. He said, "No, I won't go away. I want to play with you. And I want to hurt you too. You can't stop me. No one can hear you." + +Sara prayed in her heart. She prayed for God to help her. She prayed for God to save her. She prayed for God to make the bad man go away. But God did not answer. The bad man grabbed Sara and put the knife to her throat. He said, "Goodbye, pretty daughter." He cut her neck and she fell to the floor. She did not pray anymore. She did not breathe anymore. She was gone. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the soil and look for worms and bugs. They had a bucket and a shovel each. + +"Look, I found a big worm!" Ben said, holding it up. "It is long and slimy." + +"Let me touch it!" Lily said, reaching for the worm. "It looks fun." + +"No, it is mine!" Ben said, pulling the worm away. "You can find your own." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to touch the worm too. She looked around and saw a shiny stone in the soil. It was round and smooth and had many colors. It was very attractive. + +"Wow, look at this stone!" Lily said, picking it up. "It is pretty and shiny." + +"Let me see it!" Ben said, dropping the worm. "It looks better than the worm." + +"No, it is mine!" Lily said, holding the stone close. "You can keep your worm." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted to see the stone too. He tried to grab it from Lily, but she ran away. They started to chase each other and fight over the stone. + +Their mom saw them and came over. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting?" + +"Ben wanted to touch my stone!" Lily said. + +"Lily wanted to touch my worm!" Ben said. + +Mom shook her head. She took the stone and the worm from them. + +"Both of these things are from the soil," she said. "They are not yours to keep. They belong to the earth and the animals. You can look at them and touch them gently, but you have to put them back where you found them. And you have to share them with each other. That is the kind thing to do." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They realized they were being selfish and mean. They said sorry to each other and to mom. They hugged and made up. + +Mom gave them back the stone and the worm. They looked at them and touched them together. They learned to appreciate and share the gifts of the soil. They had more fun that way. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to draw with pencils. They have many pencils of different colors. They draw animals, flowers, cars and houses. + +One day, they hear a knock on the door. They run to see who it is. It is their grandma. She has a big smile and a basket. She says, "Hello, my sweeties! I have a surprise for you!" + +Ben and Lily hug their grandma. They are happy to see her. They ask, "What is the surprise, grandma?" Grandma says, "Let's go to the kitchen and find out!" + +They follow grandma to the kitchen. She opens the basket. Inside, there are many cookies. They are round and brown and have chocolate chips. They smell good. Grandma says, "I made these cookies for you. They are tasty and crunchy. Do you want some?" + +Ben and Lily say, "Yes, please, grandma! Thank you, grandma!" They take a cookie each and bite into it. They make a happy sound. They say, "Mmm, these are the best cookies ever! They are so tasty!" + +Grandma says, "I'm glad you like them. You can have more later. But first, why don't you show me your drawings? I want to see what you made with your pencils." + +Ben and Lily say, "Okay, grandma! Come with us!" They take their grandma to their room. They show her their drawings. They tell her what they are. Grandma says, "Wow, you are very good at drawing! I love your animals, flowers, cars and houses. You are very creative and smart!" + +Ben and Lily say, "Thank you, grandma! We love you, grandma!" They hug their grandma again. They are happy. They have pencils, cookies and grandma. They have everything they need. +Lily liked to play dress-up. She had many clothes and hats and shoes in her cabinet. She liked to wear different things and pretend to be someone else. + +One day, she wanted to be a brave knight. She found a big shirt and a belt and a helmet in her cabinet. She put them on and looked in the mirror. She felt very brave. + +She took a wooden sword and went to the living room. She saw a big dragon on the couch. It was her brother Max, who was sleeping. Lily decided to fight the dragon and save the princess. She ran to the couch and shouted, "Wake up, dragon! I am a brave knight and I will defeat you!" + +Max opened his eyes and saw Lily. He was not scared of her. He was annoyed. He said, "Go away, Lily! You are not a knight, you are a silly girl. And I am not a dragon, I am your brother. And there is no princess, only a pillow. Let me sleep!" + +Lily was not happy. She wanted to play. She said, "No, you are a dragon and I am a knight. And the pillow is a princess and I will save her. Come on, fight me!" + +Max sighed. He did not want to fight. He wanted to sleep. But he saw that Lily was not going to leave him alone. He said, "Fine, fine. I will play with you. But only for a little bit. Then you have to let me sleep." + +Lily smiled. She was happy. She said, "OK, OK. But you have to be a good dragon and roar and breathe fire. And I have to be a brave knight and swing my sword and rescue the princess. Ready?" + +Max nodded. He was tired. But he loved his sister. He said, "Ready." + +They started to play. Lily was a brave knight. Max was a big dragon. The pillow was a princess. They had fun. They laughed. They forgot about the cabinet and the clothes and the hats and the shoes. They only used their imagination. +Anna liked to play in the garden with her doll. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a bee on a rose. She wanted to touch it. + +"Hello, bee," she said. "You are pretty. Can I be your friend?" + +The bee did not like Anna. It did not want to be touched. It buzzed and flew away. Anna followed it. She tried to catch it with her hand. + +"Stop, Anna!" her mom said. "The bee can hurt you. It can sting you. Come here, please." + +But Anna did not listen. She wanted the bee. She ran after it. The bee was upset. It felt scared and angry. It turned around and stung Anna on her finger. + +"Ow!" Anna cried. "It hurts! It hurts!" + +Her mom ran to her. She took her hand and looked at the sting. She kissed it and put some ice on it. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," she said. "The bee was scared of you. It did not want to play. You have to be careful with bees. They are not toys. They are living things. They have feelings too." + +Anna felt sorry too. She felt sad and sorry for the bee. She did not want to hurt it. She did not want it to hurt her. + +"I'm sorry, bee," she said. "I did not mean to make you upset. I just wanted to be your friend. Can you forgive me?" + +The bee flew away. It did not say anything. But Anna hoped it was okay. She hoped it would find some more flowers and some more friends. She learned to lead the bees alone. She played with her doll instead. She was more careful in the garden. She still liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. But she did not touch them. She said hello from far away. +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She was an obedient girl who did what her mom told her. One day, her mom was making soup for lunch. She asked Lily to get a spoon from the drawer. + +Lily opened the drawer and saw many spoons. She picked one that was shiny and big. She wanted to stir the soup with it. She ran to the pot where the soup was boiling. She reached for the handle. + +"Stop, Lily!" her mom shouted. "The pot is hot! You will burn yourself!" + +Lily was scared. She dropped the spoon and it fell into the soup. She heard a splash and saw the soup spill over the edge of the pot. She started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to help you," she sobbed. + +Her mom hugged her and wiped her tears. "It's okay, Lily. You didn't mean to make a mess. But you have to be careful in the kitchen. Next time, ask me before you touch anything," she said. + +Lily nodded. She wanted to make her mom happy. She looked at the spoon in the soup. It was still sticking out. She had an idea. + +"Mom, can I twist the spoon?" she asked. + +Her mom smiled. "Sure, Lily. You can twist the spoon. But be gentle. Don't splash the soup again," she said. + +Lily grabbed the spoon and twisted it slowly. She saw the soup swirl around the spoon. She thought it looked like a whirlpool. She giggled. + +"Look, mom. I made a soup whirlpool!" she said. + +Her mom laughed. "You did, Lily. You are very clever. And you are a good helper. Thank you for twisting the spoon," she said. + +Lily smiled. She was happy. She liked to help her mom. And she liked to twist the spoon. +Lily liked to bake. She baked cakes and pies and cookies with her mom. She liked to share her treats with her friends at school. They said she was a good baker and a good friend. Lily was popular. + +One day, Lily's mom said they were going on a trip. They were going to a big lake with a lot of water. Lily was excited. She had never seen a lake before. She asked her mom what they would do there. Her mom said they would swim and fish and kayak. Lily did not know what a kayak was. She asked her mom to tell her. + +"A kayak is a small boat that you sit in and paddle with a stick. It is fun and fast and you can go anywhere on the water. Do you want to try it?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded. She wanted to try it. She thought it would be like baking, but on the water. She wondered if her friends would like it too. She decided to bake some cookies for them when she came back. She packed her bag and got ready to go. + +When they got to the lake, Lily saw a lot of kayaks. They were different colors and shapes. Some were big and some were small. Some had one seat and some had two. Lily's mom picked a red kayak with two seats. She helped Lily put on a life jacket and a helmet. She gave her a paddle and showed her how to use it. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, mom. Let's go!" Lily said. + +They got in the kayak and pushed off the shore. They glided on the water and felt the breeze and the sun. Lily liked it. She liked to paddle and steer and splash. She saw fish and birds and trees. She smiled and laughed. She felt like she was flying. + +They kayaked for a long time and then they stopped for a picnic. They ate sandwiches and fruits and cookies. Lily's mom said she was proud of her. She said she was a brave and smart and strong girl. Lily hugged her mom. She said she loved her. She said she loved kayaking. She said she wanted to do it again. + +They kayaked some more and then they went back to the shore. They put away the kayak and the paddle and the life jacket and the helmet. They got in the car and drove home. Lily was tired but happy. She had a lot of fun. She learned something new. She made a memory with her mom. + +She could not wait to tell her friends about it. She could not wait to bake some cookies for them. She knew they would like them. She knew they would like her. She was popular. +Sam and Jen were hungry. They wanted to eat some cake. Mom had made a big cake for Dad's birthday. She put it in the refrigerator. She said, "Do not touch the cake. It is not ready. Wait for Dad to come home." + +Sam and Jen looked at the refrigerator. They saw the cake through the glass. It was big and round and brown. It had white cream and red cherries on top. It looked yummy. They wanted to eat some cake. + +They waited for a long time. Mom was busy in the kitchen. She did not see them. They looked at each other. They had a plan. They tiptoed to the refrigerator. They opened the door. They reached for the cake. + +But they did not see the cat. The cat was hiding behind the refrigerator. The cat liked cake too. The cat jumped out and scared them. Sam and Jen screamed. They let go of the cake. The cake fell to the floor. It broke into pieces. The cream and the cherries splashed everywhere. + +Mom heard the noise. She ran to the refrigerator. She saw the mess. She saw the cat licking the cake. She saw Sam and Jen crying. She was angry. She said, "What did you do? You did not yield to me. You did not wait for the cake to be ready. You ruined Dad's birthday. Go to your room. Now!" + +Sam and Jen felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were hungry. We wanted to eat some cake. We did not mean to make a mess. We love you. We love Dad. Please forgive us." + +Mom sighed. She said, "I love you too. But you have to listen to me. You have to yield to me. I know what is best for you. I have another cake in the freezer. It is ready. We can still celebrate Dad's birthday. But you have to clean up this mess first. And you have to say sorry to Dad. And you have to share the cake with the cat. OK?" + +Sam and Jen nodded. They said, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We will do as you say. We will yield to you. We will clean up. We will say sorry. We will share the cake. We will be good." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. Now hurry up. Dad will be home soon. And he will be hungry too. He will want to eat some cake." +Lila and her mom went to the park. Lila liked the park. She saw swings, slides, and flowers. She also saw a vendor. The vendor had a cart with ice cream and balloons. Lila wanted a balloon. + +"Mom, can I have a balloon?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, honey. But be careful. Balloons can pop," Mom said. + +Mom gave the vendor some money. The vendor gave Lila a red balloon. Lila was happy. She held the balloon by the string. She thanked the vendor. + +"Thank you, vendor!" Lila said. + +"You're welcome, little girl. Enjoy your balloon," the vendor said. + +Lila and her mom walked around the park. Lila saw a big tree. She wanted to touch the tree. She ran to the tree. She let go of the balloon. + +"Wait, Lila! Don't let go of the balloon!" Mom shouted. + +But it was too late. The balloon flew away. It went up and up in the sky. Lila was sad. She cried. + +"Mom, my balloon is gone!" Lila said. + +"I'm sorry, honey. I told you to be careful. Balloons can fly away," Mom said. + +Mom hugged Lila. She wiped her tears. She said they could get another balloon. Or ice cream. Or both. + +Lila smiled. She liked ice cream. And balloons. And mom. She said she would be more careful next time. +Anna was very sad. She had lost her key. The key was shiny and had a pink heart on it. It was the key to her special box. Her special box had her favorite toys and books and pictures. She loved her special box very much. + +She looked everywhere for her key. She looked under her bed, in her closet, in her drawers, in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bathroom. She could not find her key. She asked her mom and dad and brother and sister if they had seen her key. They did not answer. They were busy with other things. They did not care about her key. + +She felt very miserable. She wanted to cry. She wanted to hug her special box. She wanted to play with her toys and read her books and look at her pictures. She wondered if she would ever find her key again. + +Then she heard a sound. It was a jingle. It came from the backyard. She ran to the window and looked outside. She saw her dog, Spot. Spot was wagging his tail and barking. He had something in his mouth. It was her key! + +She ran outside and hugged Spot. She took her key from his mouth and thanked him. He licked her face and wagged his tail more. She was very happy. She ran inside and opened her special box. She played with her toys and read her books and looked at her pictures. She was not sad anymore. She was not miserable anymore. She had her key and her special box and her dog. She had everything she needed. +Sara loved dolphins. She had many toys and books about dolphins. She wanted to see a real dolphin very much. One day, her mom and dad took her to the sea park. There, she saw a big pool with many dolphins. She was very happy. + +She asked her mom and dad if she could touch a dolphin. They said yes, but she had to wait for her turn. There were many other children who wanted to touch a dolphin too. Sara did not like to wait. She wanted to touch a dolphin now. She started to cry and shout. She said, "I want a dolphin! I want a dolphin! Give me a dolphin!" + +Her mom and dad tried to calm her down. They said, "Sara, you have to be patient. You have to share with others. The dolphins are not yours. They are not toys. They are living beings. They have feelings too. You have to be kind and gentle with them." + +But Sara did not listen. She kept crying and shouting. She tried to push the other children away. She said, "No! I don't want to share! I don't want to be kind! I want a dolphin! I want a dolphin!" + +The dolphins heard Sara's loud voice. They did not like it. They felt scared and sad. They did not want to come near Sara. They swam away from her. They only came near the children who were quiet and polite. They let them touch their fins and noses. They made happy sounds. + +Sara saw that the other children were having fun with the dolphins. She felt lonely and angry. She said, "Why don't the dolphins like me? Why don't they come to me? I want a dolphin! I want a dolphin!" + +Her mom and dad said, "Sara, the dolphins don't like you because you are rude and selfish. You demand what you want without thinking of others. You don't respect the dolphins or the children. You have to learn to be nice and fair. That is the important thing. If you want to make friends with the dolphins, you have to change your attitude." + +Sara thought about what her mom and dad said. She realized that they were right. She felt sorry for what she did. She said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I'm sorry, dolphins. I'm sorry, children. I was wrong. I don't want to be rude and selfish. I want to be nice and fair. Can I try again?" + +Her mom and dad smiled and hugged her. They said, "Of course, you can try again. We are proud of you for admitting your mistake. We love you, Sara." + +The dolphins heard Sara's soft voice. They saw that she was sorry. They felt curious and happy. They came near Sara. They let her touch their fins and noses. They made happy sounds. + +Sara felt happy too. She said, "Thank you, dolphins. You are amazing. You are my friends. I love you, dolphins." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches that being rude and selfish does not get you what you want. Being nice and fair is the important thing. It also teaches that respecting and caring for animals is important. +Lily liked to play in the pool with her big sister, Anna. Anna could swim very fast and dive under the water. Lily wanted to dive too, but she was scared. She only liked to splash and float on her back. + +One day, Anna had a new toy. It was a shiny fish that could swim in the water. Anna showed Lily how to make the fish go. She had to rub its tail and then let it go. The fish would swim away and then come back. Lily thought the fish was very pretty and wanted to play with it. + +Anna said, "You can play with the fish, but you have to be careful. It is fragile. That means it can break easily. Do not squeeze it or throw it or drop it. And do not let it go near the edge of the pool. It might hit the wall and get hurt." + +Lily nodded and took the fish. She rubbed its tail and let it go. The fish swam away and then came back. Lily smiled and rubbed its tail again. She did this a few times and had fun. Then she had an idea. She wanted to see the fish under the water. She put on her goggles and held her breath. She dived under the water and followed the fish. + +She saw the fish swim around and make bubbles. She saw the sun make sparkles on the water. She saw Anna wave at her and smile. She felt happy and brave. She dived deeper and deeper, until she saw something shiny at the bottom of the pool. She wanted to see what it was. She swam closer and closer, until she saw that it was a coin. She reached out to grab it, but she forgot about the fish. The fish was still in her hand. She squeezed it too hard and heard a crack. The fish broke in half and stopped swimming. Lily felt sad and scared. She let go of the coin and the fish and swam back to the surface. She cried and said sorry to Anna. Anna hugged her and said it was okay. She said they could fix the fish or get a new one. She said she was proud of Lily for diving. She said she loved her. Lily felt better and said she loved her too. They played in the pool some more and had fun. +Ben and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with their family. They had many toys and clothes and books, and they went to a nice school. Their family was wealthy, and they were happy most of the time. + +But sometimes, Ben and Lily would fight over their things. They would point at each other and say, "That's mine! Give it back!" or "You can't play with that! It's mine!" They would not share or take turns, and they would make each other cry. + +One day, their mom and dad decided to teach them a lesson. They took away all their toys and clothes and books, and put them in a big box. They told Ben and Lily that they had to earn them back by being kind and helpful. They said, "You have so much, but you don't appreciate it. You need to learn to be grateful and generous. You have each other, and you have us. That's what makes a family, not things." + +Ben and Lily were shocked and sad. They had nothing to play with or wear or read. They realized that they had been selfish and mean. They said sorry to each other, and hugged. They decided to work together and help their mom and dad with chores and homework. They also decided to give some of their things to other kids who had less. + +After a week, their mom and dad were proud of them. They gave them back their toys and clothes and books, but not all of them. They said, "You have earned some of your things back, but not all of them. We are going to donate the rest to a charity that helps poor families. You have learned a valuable lesson, and we hope you will remember it. Being wealthy is not about having things, but about having love and kindness." +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys. Today, they have a big box of toys. They want to make a bus with the toys. + +"Let's make a bus!" Tom says. "We can use the blocks and the wheels and the chairs." + +"OK!" Anna says. "I have a rock. I can use it as a horn." + +They start to make a bus with the toys. They put the blocks and the wheels together. They put the chairs inside. They put the rock on the front. + +"Look, we made a bus!" Tom says. "We can go for a ride." + +They sit on the chairs. Tom holds the rock. He pretends to drive the bus. + +"Beep beep!" he says. He rocks the rock. "We are going to the park." + +Anna smiles. She pretends to look out the window. + +"I see trees and flowers and birds," she says. "The park is very pretty." + +They have fun playing with the bus. They are very organized. They put the toys back in the box when they are done. They are good friends. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to draw with crayons on paper. One day, Ben draws a big sun with yellow and orange.

She thinks maybe she can make a yellow sun with blue. She tries to draw a sun with blue on her paper. But it does not look like a sun. It looks like a big blue blob. Lily is sad. She does not like her blue blob. + +She looks at Ben's sun. She wants to have a sun like Ben. She takes Ben's paper and puts it on her paper. She tries to erase Ben's sun with her eraser. She rubs and rubs the paper with her eraser. But she does not erase the sun. She only makes a big hole in the paper. She tears Ben's sun. + +Ben sees what Lily is doing. He is very angry. He yells at Lily. He says, "You ruined my sun! You are a bad friend! I don't want to play with you anymore!" He takes his paper and runs away. Lily is very sorry. She cries. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to ruin your sun. I just wanted to have a sun like you. Please forgive me. Please be my friend again." + +Ben hears Lily crying. He feels bad. He remembers that Lily is his friend. He remembers that friends make mistakes sometimes. He remembers that friends say sorry and forgive. He goes back to Lily. He says, "I'm sorry, too. I was too mean to you. I forgive you. You are still my friend. Do you want to draw with me again?" Lily is very glad. She says, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend." They hug. They draw together. They make a new sun with yellow and orange. They are happy. +Ben likes to play with his toy gun. He likes to shoot at the wall, the door, and the lamp. He thinks it is fun to make loud noises and pretend he is a hero. + +One day, he wants to play with his toy gun in his room. He runs up the stair with his toy gun in his hand.

She drops the basket and falls down. She says "Ow!" and "Ben!" + +Ben is scared. He did not mean to hurt his mom. He runs to her and says "Sorry, Mom! Sorry, sorry, sorry!" He hugs her and gives her a kiss. + +His mom is nice. She is not angry. She says "It's okay, Ben. I know you did not mean it. But you have to be careful with your toy gun. You can only shoot at things that are not alive. And you have to look where you are going. Do you understand?" + +Ben nods. He says "Yes, Mom. I understand. I love you, Mom." He helps her get up and pick up the clothes. He says "Can I still play with my toy gun in my room?" + +His mom smiles. She says "Yes, you can. But only if you promise to be safe and not shoot at anyone or anything that can get hurt. And you have to be quiet, because your baby sister is sleeping." + +Ben promises. He says "Thank you, Mom. You are the best mom ever." He goes to his room and plays with his toy gun. He shoots at his pillow, his teddy bear, and his book. He is happy. He is a hero. +Mia liked to jog with her dad in the park. She felt independent and strong when she ran fast. She also liked to see the flowers, the birds and the squirrels. + +One day, as they were jogging, Mia heard a buzzing sound near her ear. She felt a sting on her cheek. She stopped and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! What is that?" she asked. + +Her dad looked at her and saw a red bump. He hugged her and said, "It's a mosquito, Mia. It's a tiny bug that bites. It's not nice, but it will go away soon. Let me blow on it to make it feel better." + +He blew gently on her cheek and kissed it. Mia felt a little better. She smiled and said, "Thank you, dad. Can we jog some more?" + +"Of course, Mia. You are very brave and independent. But let's put on some spray to keep the mosquitoes away, okay?" he said. + +He sprayed some lotion on Mia and himself. Then they jogged again, happy and safe. They saw a big rainbow in the sky and Mia said, "Look, dad, it's beautiful!" + +"Yes, Mia, it is. Just like you," he said. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot is a playful dog. He likes to run and jump and bark. + +One day, Tom and Lily find a big branch on the ground. They think it is a good toy for Spot. They pick up the branch and wave it in the air. Spot sees the branch and runs to them. He wants to play with the branch. + +"Spot, catch!" Tom says and throws the branch. Spot chases the branch and catches it in his mouth. He runs back to Tom and Lily and drops the branch at their feet. He wags his tail and barks. + +"Good boy, Spot!" Lily says and pets him. She picks up the branch and throws it again. Spot runs after the branch and catches it again. He brings it back to Lily and drops it. He wags his tail and barks. + +Tom and Lily take turns throwing the branch for Spot. They have fun playing with the branch and the dog. They laugh and clap and cheer. Spot is happy and tired. He likes to play with Tom and Lily. They are his best friends. +Tim and Mia liked to play with their toys in the bathtub. They had a lot of fun animals, like a duck, a frog, a fish and an octopus. The octopus was their favorite, because it had eight long arms and a smooth head. + +One day, Tim and Mia saw something strange in the water. The octopus was getting smaller and smaller. They wondered what was happening to it. + +"Look, Mia, the octopus is shrinking!" Tim said. + +"Why is it shrinking, Tim?" Mia asked. + +"I don't know, maybe it is scared of something," Tim guessed. + +They looked around the bathtub, but they did not see anything scary. They only saw bubbles, soap and their other toys. + +"Maybe it is cold," Mia suggested. + +"Maybe we should warm it up," Tim agreed. + +They took the octopus out of the water and wrapped it in a towel. They hugged it and rubbed it gently. They hoped it would feel better and grow big again. + +The octopus felt the warmth and the love of the children. It was not scared or cold anymore. It started to grow bigger and bigger, until it filled the whole towel. + +"Wow, the octopus is growing!" Tim exclaimed. + +"It is growing too much, Tim!" Mia cried. + +They unwrapped the towel and saw the octopus smile at them. It waved its arms and made a funny noise. + +"Thank you, Tim and Mia, you are very kind," the octopus said. + +"Did the octopus just talk?" Tim asked. + +"I think it did, Tim," Mia said. + +They were very surprised, but also very happy. They decided to keep the octopus as their friend and play with it every day. They named it Ollie and gave it a big hug. Ollie hugged them back with his smooth arms. They laughed and splashed in the water. They had a lot of fun with their new friend. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their bikes. One day, they go to the street with their bikes. They see a big puddle of mud. Sara thinks it is fun to ride through the mud.

She wanted to go away. She said, "Ben, let us go. I do not want to play here. The dog might bite us or chase us." + +Ben held Sara's hand. He said, "Sara, trust me. The dog will not bite us or chase us. He is friendly. He has a collar and a leash. That means he has a person who loves him and takes care of him. Look, his person is coming.

They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to be bad. We just wanted to have fun." + +Mom says, "I know you wanted to have fun, but you have to be careful with things. Tape is not a toy. It is for fixing things or making things. And you have to respect the house and the toys. They are not for ruining. They are for sharing and caring." + +Tom and Mia understand. They say, "You are right, Mom. We will be more careful and respectful. We will clean up the mess." + +Mom says, "Thank you, Tom and Mia. That is very kind of you. I love you." + +Tom and Mia hug Mom. They love her too. They work together to remove the tape and put things back. They learn to be more responsible and kind. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna, who had long yellow hair and a blue dress. Lily liked to comb Anna's hair and make her talk. + +One day, Lily's brother Tom came into her room. He wanted to play with Anna too. He grabbed Anna from Lily's hand and said, "I want to play with this doll. She is pretty." + +Lily was very angry. She shouted, "No, Tom! Anna is mine! Give her back to me!" She tried to pull Anna from Tom's hand, but he was stronger. + +Tom and Lily started to quarrel. They pulled and pushed and yelled at each other. They did not hear their mother coming into the room. + +Their mother saw them fighting over the doll. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, Tom and Lily! Why are you quarreling? Anna is not yours or Lily's. She is ancient. She belonged to your grandma when she was a little girl. She gave her to me, and I gave her to Lily. She is a special doll. You should not fight over her. You should share her and be nice to each other." + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Tom." They hugged each other and gave Anna back to Lily. Lily said, "You can play with Anna too, Tom. But you have to be gentle with her. She is ancient and fragile." + +Tom nodded. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I will be gentle with Anna. Can I comb her hair?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. But you have to ask me first. And you have to let me play with your cars sometimes." + +Tom agreed. He said, "OK, Lily. You can play with my cars. But you have to ask me first. And you have to be careful with them. They are fast and fun." + +Lily and Tom stopped quarreling. They started to play with Anna and the cars. They had a lot of fun. Their mother was happy. She said, "That's better. I'm glad you are getting along. Anna and the cars are happy too." +Ben and Lily liked to play outside. They liked to run and jump and laugh. One day, they saw a big, hairy dog in the park. The dog was friendly and wagged his tail. Ben and Lily wanted to pet the dog, but they did not know if the dog's owner would mind. + +They looked around and saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a book and a hat. He smiled at Ben and Lily and said, "Hello, do you like my dog? His name is Max. You can pet him if you want, he doesn't mind." + +Ben and Lily were happy and ran to the dog. They stroked his fur and scratched his ears. Max licked their faces and made them giggle. The man watched them and said, "You are very nice to Max. He likes you. Do you have a dog at home?" + +Ben shook his head and said, "No, we have a cat. Her name is Fluffy. She is not hairy, she is soft. She likes to sleep and purr." + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Fluffy is nice, but she doesn't like to play. She is scared of the wind. When the wind blows, she hides under the bed." + +The man said, "I see. Well, Max likes the wind. He likes to chase the leaves and the birds. He likes to run and bark. He is a very happy dog." + +Ben and Lily smiled and said, "We like Max. He is a very fun dog. Can we play with him again?" + +The man said, "Of course, you can. We come to the park every day. Maybe you can bring Fluffy too, and she can make friends with Max." + +Ben and Lily said, "OK, we will try. Thank you for letting us pet Max. He is a very hairy dog, but we don't mind." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were in a restaurant. Tom was the cook and Lily was the waiter. They used leaves and flowers and mud to make food and drinks. + +"Here is your soup, sir," Lily said, serving a bowl of muddy water to a teddy bear. "It is very hot and tasty." + +"Thank you, miss," the teddy bear said. "You are very generous." + +Tom watched from the kitchen. He was not happy. He wanted to be the waiter too. He thought Lily was having more fun. He decided to take the teddy bear's place. + +He sneaked out of the kitchen and sat down at the table. He grabbed the bowl of soup and drank it all. He made a loud slurping noise. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. "That was for the teddy bear. You are very greedy." + +"I don't care," Tom said. "I want to be the waiter. You can be the cook." + +"No, I don't want to be the cook. I like being the waiter. It's my turn," Lily said. + +They started to argue. They pushed and pulled and shouted. They knocked over the table and the chairs and the plates. They made a big mess. + +Suddenly, they felt something on their skin. It was a red rash. It was very itchy. They scratched and scratched, but it did not help. They had used poison ivy to make the soup. They had not known it was bad for them. + +They cried and cried. They wished they had not fought. They wished they had shared. They wished they had been more generous. But it was too late. They had to go to the doctor and get medicine. They had to stay in bed for a week. They had no more fun. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses. They had many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. + +"Look at my tower!" Tom said. "It is very high and brilliant. It has all the colors." + +Lily looked at Tom's tower. She wanted to make one too. She reached for some blocks, but she knocked over Tom's tower by mistake. The blocks fell down and made a loud noise. + +"Hey!" Tom shouted. "You broke my tower! That was not nice!" + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to break Tom's tower. She wanted to say sorry, but she saw Tom's face. He looked angry and sad. She was afraid he would not be her friend anymore. + +She ran away to the other side of the room. She found a big teddy bear and hugged it. She felt a pain in her chest. She wished Tom would forgive her. + +Tom looked at the mess of blocks. He felt a pain in his head. He wished Lily would not run away. He wanted to play with her again. + +He remembered that Lily was his best friend. She always shared her toys and snacks with him. She always made him laugh and smile. She was not bad. She just made a mistake. + +He decided to change his mind. He did not want to be angry and sad. He wanted to be happy and kind. + +He picked up some blocks and walked to the other side of the room. He saw Lily with the teddy bear. She looked scared and sorry. + +He smiled at her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm not mad at you. I'm sorry I shouted. Do you want to play with me again?" + +Lily looked at Tom. She saw his smile and heard his words. She felt a pain in her chest go away. She smiled back and said, "Yes, Tom. I'm sorry I broke your tower. I'm happy you're not mad at me. You're my best friend." + +They hugged each other and said sorry again. Then they played with the blocks together. They made a new tower, bigger and more brilliant than before. They had fun and forgot their pain. They were happy and kind. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They like to make noises and race them on the grass. Sara has a red car and Ben has a blue car. They are having fun. + +But then, Sara sees a big yellow car on the shelf. She wants to play with it. She runs to the shelf and grabs the yellow car. She does not ask Ben if he wants to play with it too. + +Ben is angry. He likes the yellow car. He thinks Sara is not nice. He shouts at Sara. "Hey, that is my car! Give it back to me!" + +Sara does not listen. She holds the yellow car tight. She says, "No, it is mine now! I like it more than you!" + +Ben is very angry. He runs to Sara and tries to take the yellow car from her. They pull and push and fight. They do not share. + +Suddenly, Sara feels a pain in her chest. She cannot breathe well. She drops the yellow car and puts her hand on her chest. She coughs and wheezes. She has a bad lung. She needs her medicine. + +Ben sees Sara is sick. He is scared. He forgets about the yellow car. He runs to Sara and hugs her. He says, "I am sorry, Sara. I did not mean to make you sick. Are you okay?" + +Sara feels Ben's hug. She feels a little better. She says, "I am sorry, Ben. I did not mean to take your car. It is your car. You can have it." + +Ben and Sara are sorry. They say sorry to each other. They are friends again. They share the yellow car. They play together. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They were very eager to see Grandma and Grandpa, who lived far away. They had to pack their clothes and toys in big bags called luggage. Mom helped them choose what to bring and what to leave at home. + +"Can I bring my teddy bear?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can," Mom said. "But you have to wrap him in a scarf, so he won't get cold on the plane." + +"OK, Mom," Lily said. She found a pink scarf and wrapped her teddy bear in it. She gave him a hug and put him in her luggage. + +"What about me?" Tom asked. "Can I bring my dinosaur?" + +"Sure, you can," Mom said. "But you have to wrap him in a towel, so he won't get wet on the plane." + +"OK, Mom," Tom said. He found a blue towel and wrapped his dinosaur in it. He gave him a roar and put him in his luggage. + +Mom and Dad finished packing their luggage too. They put them in the car and drove to the airport. Lily and Tom were very excited. They couldn't wait to see Grandma and Grandpa and show them their wrapped friends. +Lily liked to play with her toys in her room. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a big clock. The clock had a face, two hands, and numbers. Lily liked to move the hands and make the clock say different times. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, it's time to clean your room. You have too many toys on the floor. You need to put them away in the box." + +Lily did not want to clean her room. She wanted to play with her clock. She said, "No, mom. I want to play. I don't want to clean." + +Lily's mom said, "Lily, if you don't clean your room, you will not be able to go to the park and meet your friends. They are waiting for you. Don't you want to see them?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked her friends. They were fun and nice. She wanted to go to the park and play with them. But she also liked her clock. She did not want to put it away. + +She said, "Mom, can I take my clock to the park? I want to show it to my friends. They will like it too." + +Lily's mom said, "No, Lily. You can't take your clock to the park. It's too big and heavy. You might break it or lose it. You need to leave it here and clean your room. Then you can go to the park and meet your friends. They will have other toys to play with." + +Lily was sad. She did not want to leave her clock. She loved her clock. She hugged it and said, "I'm sorry, clock. I have to go. I will come back soon. I will miss you." + +She put her clock on her bed and started to clean her room. She put her toys in the box. She made her bed. She threw away the trash. She did a good job. + +When she finished, she said, "Mom, I'm done. Can I go to the park now?" + +Lily's mom said, "Yes, Lily. You can go to the park now. You did a great job. I'm proud of you. You have a clean room and a happy clock. Let's go and meet your friends." + +Lily smiled. She was happy. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love my clock. I love my friends. Let's go." + +She took her mom's hand and went to the park. She met her friends and had a lot of fun. She did not miss her clock. She knew it was waiting for her in her room. She learned that cleaning her room was not so bad. She learned that she could have fun with different toys. She learned that she could share her clock with her friends another day. She learned to be a good girl. +Tim and Sue like to play in the park. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But one day, a big boy comes to the park. He is very bossy and mean. He tells Tim and Sue to get off the swings, the slide and the seesaw. He says they are his and he will hit them if they do not listen. + +Tim and Sue are scared of the big boy. They do not want to fight. They try to find another place to play. But the big boy follows them everywhere. He laughs at them and calls them names. He says they are babies and they have to do what he says. He is a big threat to them. + +Tim and Sue do not know what to do. They look for help, but they do not see anyone. They feel very sad and alone. The big boy comes closer and closer. He tells them to kneel down and say sorry. He says he will kick them if they do not. Tim and Sue kneel down and say sorry. They hope he will leave them alone. But he does not. He kicks them hard and runs away. Tim and Sue cry and cry. They have no fun in the park. They have a bad ending. +Lisa likes to draw with her crayons. She draws flowers, stars, and rainbows on a big paper. She has a pink eraser to fix her mistakes. Sometimes she draws too hard and the paper tears. Then she feels sad. + +One day, she draws a big butterfly with many colors. She wants to make it look graceful, like the ones she sees in the garden. She leans over the paper and tries to draw the wings very carefully. But she slips and makes a big line across the butterfly. She gasps and grabs her eraser. + +"Oh no! I ruined my butterfly!" she cries. She rubs the eraser on the paper, but the line does not go away. She rubs harder and harder, but the paper tears. She starts to sob. + +Her mom hears her and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the torn paper and the sad Lisa. She hugs her and says, "It's okay, sweetie. It's just a paper. You can make another one." + +"But I worked so hard on it! It was so pretty!" Lisa says. + +"I know, honey. But you know what? You can still make it pretty. You can use the torn part as a puzzle. You can glue it back together, or cut out new shapes, or make a collage. You can be creative and have fun. Do you want to try?" + +Lisa sniffles and nods. She wipes her tears and smiles. She likes puzzles and collages. She thinks maybe she can make her butterfly even more graceful. She says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." + +Her mom smiles and says, "You're welcome, darling. You are the best, too." She helps Lisa find some glue, scissors, and more paper. They sit together and make a new butterfly. Lisa is happy again. She leans over the paper and draws a big heart. She writes, "I love you, mom." +Sara and Ben like to play with their toys at night. They have a big window in their room, and they can see the moon. The moon is bright and round, and it makes them happy. Sometimes they pretend the moon is their friend, and they talk to it. + +One night, Sara and Ben have a new idea. They want to go to the moon and play with it. They think the moon will like them too. They find a big box and some rope, and they make a rocket. They put their toys and some snacks in the box, and they tie the rope to the window. They say goodbye to their mom and dad, who are sleeping, and they climb in the box. + +They pull the rope and the box goes up, up, up. They are very excited. They think they are close to the moon. But then, something bad happens. The rope breaks, and the box falls down, down, down. It goes very fast, and it makes a loud noise. Sara and Ben are scared. They scream and cry. + +The noise wakes up their mom and dad, who run to the window. They see the box on the ground, and they see Sara and Ben inside. They are hurt and bleeding. They are very sad and angry. They call for help, and they go to the hospital. + +Sara and Ben have to pay for their mistake. They have to stay in the hospital for a long time, and they have to take medicine and get stitches. They miss their toys and their snacks, and they miss the moon. They learn that the moon is not their friend, and that they should not play with it. They wish they had listened to their mom and dad, and stayed in their room. They are sorry, but it is too late. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that they could ride. They took turns to drive the car and pretend they were going to different places. + +One day, Lily saw a shiny string on the ground. She picked it up and tied it to the back of the car. She thought it would be fun to drag something behind the car, like a trailer. She looked around and saw a teddy bear that belonged to Tom. + +"Tom, can I use your teddy bear?" she asked. + +"No, that's my teddy bear. You can't have it," Tom said. He was very spoiled and did not like to share his toys. + +"But I just want to tie it to the string and make it ride with us. It will be fun," Lily said. + +"No, it won't. It will be dirty and torn. Leave my teddy bear alone," Tom said. He grabbed the teddy bear and hugged it. + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She untied the string from the car and walked away. She found another friend who was nice and liked to share. They rode the car together and had a lot of fun. Tom was left alone with his teddy bear. He realized he was lonely and wished he had been nicer to Lily. +Lily and Tom were going to a big event with their mom and dad. They did not know what the event was, but they were excited. They put on their nice clothes and got in the car. + +"Where are we going, mom?" Lily asked. + +"You'll see, it's a surprise," mom said. + +They drove for a long time and then they saw a big tent with lots of people and animals. They parked the car and walked to the tent. + +"Wow, look at the elephants and the clowns!" Tom said. + +They got their tickets and found their seats. The event was a circus. They saw many amazing things. They saw lions and tigers jump through hoops. They saw acrobats fly in the air. They saw a funny man with a big red nose make jokes. + +They laughed and clapped and enjoyed the show. They ate popcorn and cotton candy. They had a lot of fun. + +But there was one thing that confused them. They saw a man with a long beard and a dress. He was singing and dancing with a feather boa. + +"Is that a man or a woman?" Lily whispered to Tom. + +"I don't know, maybe both," Tom whispered back. + +They looked at each other and shrugged. They did not understand, but they did not mind. They enjoyed the event anyway. +Lily and Tom like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their friends and their toys. + +One day, Lily sees a big dog in the park. The dog is black and brown and has a loud bark. Lily is scared of the dog. She runs to Tom and holds his hand. + +Tom is not scared of the dog. He is brave. He has a whistle in his pocket. He takes out the whistle and blows it hard. The whistle makes a high sound. The dog does not like the sound. The dog runs away. + +Lily is happy. She hugs Tom and says thank you. Tom smiles and says you're welcome. They go back to play in the park. They are happy and brave. +Anna likes to write. She writes with crayons on paper. She writes her name, and her mom's name, and her dog's name. She writes big and small letters. She writes words and pictures. + +One day, Anna goes to the farm with her mom. She sees cows and pigs and chickens. She sees a big red barn and a green tractor. She sees a farmer and his wife. They are very nice. They give Anna an apple and a glass of milk. + +Anna wants to write about the farm. She finds a piece of paper and a crayon. She writes "FARM" in big letters. She draws a cow, a pig, a chicken, a barn, a tractor, and a farmer. She writes "ANNA" and "MOM" under the picture. She is very proud of her writing. + +She shows her mom her writing. Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "Wow, Anna, this is very impressive! You are a great writer! You captured the farm so well!" She puts the paper on the fridge with a magnet. + +Anna is very happy. She loves to write. She loves the farm. She loves her mom. She thinks, "Maybe I will write more stories about the farm. Maybe I will write a book someday. That would be very impressive!" +Anna loves to play the piano. She likes to make music with her fingers. She can play many songs. She learned them from her mom and dad. + +One day, Anna finds a book on the piano. It has many pictures and words. She opens the book and sees a song she does not know. She wants to play it. + +She asks her mom, "Mom, what is this song? Can you teach me?" + +Her mom looks at the book and smiles. She says, "This is a song I used to play when I was little. It is called 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'. Do you want to learn it?" + +Anna nods and says, "Yes, please!" + +Her mom says, "Okay, let me print the song for you. Then you can keep it and practice it." + +She goes to the computer and prints the song on a paper. She gives it to Anna and says, "Here you go. This is the song. You can see the notes and the words. Do you want to try it?" + +Anna takes the paper and says, "Thank you, mom!" She puts the paper on the piano and looks at it. She sees the notes and the words. She tries to play them with her fingers. She sings along with her voice. + +She plays the song slowly and carefully. She makes some mistakes, but she does not give up. She tries again and again. She feels happy and proud. + +Her mom watches her and claps her hands. She says, "You are doing great, Anna! You are a good piano player. I am proud of you!" + +Anna smiles and says, "Thank you, mom! I love this song. I love playing the piano. Can I play it again?" + +Her mom says, "Of course, you can. You can play it as many times as you want. But remember, don't play it too loud or too fast. You don't want to hurt your fingers or your ears." + +Anna says, "Okay, mom. I will play it nice and soft and slow. Like this." + +She plays the song again. She plays it nice and soft and slow. She sings along with her voice. She sounds like a star. +Sam and Max are brothers who love to play with their toy trains. They have many engines of different colors and sizes, and they like to make them go fast on the tracks. One day, they find a new engine in a box. It is shiny and red, and it has a big number 10 on it. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sam says. "It is the best engine ever! I want it!" + +"No, I want it!" Max says. "It is mine!" + +They both grab the engine and pull hard. They do not want to share it. They start to yell and fight. + +"Stop it, boys!" their mom says. She is alert and hears the noise. She comes into the room and sees the mess. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a toy?" + +"Mom, he wants to take my engine!" Sam says. + +"Mom, he wants to take my engine!" Max says. + +They both point at each other. + +Mom shakes her head. She is not happy. She takes the engine from them and puts it on a shelf. "This engine is not yours or his. It is mine. You can not play with it until you learn to share and be kind. Fighting is not nice. It only makes you lose, not gain." + +Sam and Max are sad and sorry. They look at the engine on the shelf. They wish they could play with it. They realize they were wrong to fight. They hug each other and say sorry. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We do not want to fight. We want to share and be kind. Can we please play with the engine?" they ask. + +Mom smiles. She is glad they learned their lesson. She gives them the engine and a hug. "Yes, you can. But remember, sharing is caring. It makes you gain friends and happiness. And it makes me proud of you." + +Sam and Max nod. They thank mom and take the engine. They play with it together and have fun. They share it with their other engines and make them go fast on the tracks. They are happy and so is mom. +Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Ben wants to go on the slide, but Mia is scared. + +"Come on, Mia, it is fun!" Ben says. "You can get on the slide with me." + +"No, Ben, it is too high. I do not want to get hurt." Mia says. "You should be careful, too." + +Ben does not listen to Mia. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top and smiles. He is not afraid. + +"Look, Mia, I am on the slide!" Ben shouts. "I am going to slide down now!" + +But before Ben can slide down, he sees a big bee. The bee is buzzing near his ear. Ben does not like bees. He is afraid of bees. He screams and tries to get away from the bee. + +"Help, Mia, help! There is a bee!" Ben cries. "It is going to sting me!" + +Mia hears Ben and runs to the slide. She sees Ben and the bee. She feels sorry for Ben. She wants to help him. + +"Ben, do not move. The bee will not sting you if you do not move." Mia says. "I will get a stick and make the bee go away." + +Mia finds a stick and climbs up the ladder. She reaches the top and waves the stick at the bee. The bee flies away. Ben is relieved. + +"Thank you, Mia, thank you!" Ben says. "You are very brave and kind. You saved me from the bee." + +Mia smiles and hugs Ben. She is happy that Ben is safe. + +"You are welcome, Ben. I am glad you are okay." Mia says. "But next time, you should be more careful on the slide. It is not a good place to play with bees." + +Ben nods and agrees. He has learned his lesson. He tells Mia the truth. + +"You are right, Mia. The slide is not so fun after all. I was scared, too." Ben says. "Can we play something else now?" + +Mia nods and agrees. She has an idea. + +"Let's play on the swings. They are fun and safe." Mia says. "And maybe we can see some butterflies. They are pretty and nice. They do not sting." + +Ben likes Mia's idea. He thinks butterflies are better than bees. He follows Mia to the swings. They play together and have fun. They are good friends. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite ones were the dolls and the furniture. They liked to pretend that the dolls were their family and the furniture was their house. + +One day, they found a new furniture set in the basement. It was very pale and old, and it had many scratches and stains. Lily and Tom were curious and wanted to play with it. + +"Look, Tom, this is a sofa and this is a table. And these are chairs and a lamp. Let's bring them upstairs and make a new house for our dolls," Lily said. + +"But Lily, this is not our furniture. This is Grandma's furniture. She told us not to touch it. She said it was very special and she owned it for a long time," Tom said. + +"I don't care, Tom. Grandma is not here and she won't know. Besides, this furniture is boring and ugly. We can make it better with our stickers and crayons. Come on, help me carry it," Lily said. + +Tom was scared, but he did not want to upset Lily. He helped her carry the furniture upstairs, even though it was heavy and hard. They put it in their room and started to decorate it with their stickers and crayons. They made the sofa pink and the table blue. They put stars and hearts on the chairs and the lamp. They thought it looked very pretty and fun. + +They were so busy that they did not hear Grandma coming home. She walked into their room and saw what they had done. She was very angry and sad. + +"Lily and Tom, what have you done? This is my furniture, not yours. You have ruined it. This furniture was a gift from your Grandpa, who is in heaven. He made it with his own hands and he loved it very much. How could you be so naughty and disrespectful?" Grandma said. + +Lily and Tom felt very bad. They did not know that the furniture was so important to Grandma. They did not mean to hurt her feelings. They wanted to make her happy. + +"We are sorry, Grandma. We did not know. We just wanted to play. We thought the furniture was old and boring. We wanted to make it new and pretty. Please don't be mad at us. We love you, Grandma," Lily and Tom said. + +Grandma sighed and hugged them. She was still angry and sad, but she also loved them very much. She knew they were young and did not understand. + +"I love you too, Lily and Tom. But you have to learn to respect other people's things. You can't just take what is not yours and change it without asking. You have to ask for permission and be careful. Do you understand?" Grandma said. + +"Yes, Grandma. We understand. We are sorry. Can you forgive us?" Lily and Tom said. + +Grandma nodded and smiled. She forgave them, but she also made them clean up the mess and help her fix the furniture. She told them stories about Grandpa and how he made the furniture. She showed them pictures and letters. She made them see that the furniture was not boring and ugly, but pale and beautiful. She made them see that the furniture was not just furniture, but a memory and a treasure. +Lily liked to fly. She had a big red balloon that she tied to her wrist. She would jump and run and pretend she was flying in the sky. She liked to fly so much that she did not want to stop, even when it was time for bed. + +Mama said, "Lily, it is night-night time. You have to let go of your balloon and lie down in your bed." But Lily did not listen. She said, "No, Mama, I want to fly more. I want to fly to the moon and the stars." She held on to her balloon and jumped on her bed. + +Mama was not happy. She said, "Lily, you are being very persistent. You have to listen to Mama and do what I say. If you do not let go of your balloon, it will pop and you will be sad." But Lily did not listen. She said, "No, Mama, I want to fly more. I want to fly to the ceiling and touch it with my hand." She held on to her balloon and jumped higher and higher. + +But Mama was right. Lily jumped too high and her balloon hit the ceiling. Pop! The balloon burst and Lily fell down on her bed. She was sad. She cried and said, "Mama, Mama, my balloon is gone. I can not fly anymore." Mama hugged her and said, "I am sorry, Lily. I know you liked your balloon. But you have to listen to Mama and do what I say. Flying is fun, but sleeping is important too. You can fly again tomorrow, with a new balloon. But now, it is night-night time. You have to lie down in your bed and close your eyes." Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mama. I will listen to you. I will lie down and sleep. But can I dream of flying?" Mama smiled and said, "Yes, Lily. You can dream of flying. You can dream of anything you want. Good night, Lily. I love you." She kissed her and tucked her in. Lily closed her eyes and dreamed of flying. +Lily and Ben are twins. They are three years old. Today is their birthday. They want to celebrate with their friends. + +Mommy makes a big cake and a salad for them. She puts candles on the cake. She says, "Happy birthday, Lily and Ben! You can blow out the candles and make a wish." + +Lily and Ben blow out the candles. They are happy. They want to eat the cake and the salad. + +But their friends do not like salad. They say, "Yuck! Salad is green and icky. We do not want salad. We want more cake." + +Lily and Ben are sad. They like salad. They think salad is yummy and good for them. They do not want to share their cake with their friends. + +They say, "No, you cannot have more cake. You have to eat salad first. Salad is easy to eat. You just need a fork and a mouth. Salad is not icky. It is crunchy and fresh. Try it. You might like it." + +Their friends do not listen. They try to grab the cake. They make a mess. They make Lily and Ben angry. + +Mommy sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, everyone! You are being rude and naughty. You have to share and be nice. If you do not eat salad, you do not get cake. That is the rule." + +Lily and Ben nod. They agree with Mommy. They say, "Sorry, Mommy. Sorry, friends. We want to celebrate, not fight. We will share our cake and our salad. Please try the salad. It is good for you. Maybe you will like it." + +Their friends are sorry too. They say, "Sorry, Lily and Ben. Sorry, Mommy. We were being greedy and mean. We will try the salad. Maybe it is not so bad. Maybe we will like it." + +They try the salad. They are surprised. They say, "Wow! Salad is not so bad. Salad is actually good. Salad is crunchy and fresh. We like salad. Thank you, Lily and Ben. Thank you, Mommy." + +Lily and Ben smile. They are happy. They say, "You are welcome, friends. You are welcome, Mommy. We are glad you like salad. We like salad too. Now we can eat cake and salad together. That is the best way to celebrate." +Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with many fish. They wanted to catch some fish. + +"Look, Ben, I have a rod!" Sam said. He showed Ben a long stick with a string and a hook. "Let's wave it in the water and see if the fish bite." + +"OK, Sam, let's try it," Ben said. He found another stick and tied a string and a hook to it. They walked to the edge of the pond and waved their rods in the water. + +Soon, Sam felt a tug on his string. He pulled hard and lifted his rod. He saw a shiny fish on his hook. He was very happy. + +"Wow, Sam, you caught a fish!" Ben said. He clapped his hands. + +"Look, Ben, it's a big fish!" Sam said. He held his rod high. "Do you want to touch it?" + +Ben nodded. He reached out his hand and touched the fish. It was wet and slimy. He felt its scales and its fins. He looked at its eyes. They were still and glassy. + +"Sam, I think the fish is dead," Ben said. He felt sad for the fish. + +"Dead? What does that mean?" Sam asked. He did not understand. + +"Dead means it's not alive. It can't swim or breathe or see anymore. It's gone," Ben said. He tried to explain. + +Sam looked at the fish. He did not like it anymore. He wanted to put it back in the water. + +"Can we make it alive again?" Sam asked. + +"No, Sam, we can't. Once something is dead, it can't be alive again. That's why we have to be careful and kind to living things," Ben said. + +Sam nodded. He understood. He took the hook out of the fish's mouth and threw it back in the pond. He hoped it would find some peace. + +"Sorry, fish," Sam said. He waved his hand. + +"Sorry, fish," Ben said. He waved his hand too. + +They put down their rods and walked away. They decided to play something else. They still liked the pond, but they did not want to catch any more fish. +Anna and Ben were going to the shop with their mum. They wanted to buy some ice cream and some toys. They were very happy and excited. + +But on the way, they saw a big red truck. The truck was broken and it blocked the road. The cars behind the truck could not move. They had to wait for a long time. Anna and Ben were bored and sad. They wanted to go to the shop soon. + +"Mum, when can we go to the shop?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know, darling. The truck has delayed us. We have to be patient and wait for it to move." Mum said. + +Anna and Ben looked out of the window. They saw some children playing in the park. They had swings and slides and balls. They looked very happy and fun. Anna and Ben were envious of them. + +"Mum, can we go to the park and play with them?" Ben asked. + +"I'm sorry, honey. We can't. We have to stay in the car and wait for the road to clear. Maybe we can go to the park another day." Mum said. + +Anna and Ben sighed. They hoped the truck would move soon. They still wanted to go to the shop and buy some ice cream and some toys. They hoped they would be happy and excited again. +Sam and Mia were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hill. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go on a journey!" Sam said. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. The hill is very steep and the grass is very thick. We might get lost or fall down," Mia said. + +They held hands and started to climb the hill. They had to test each step to make sure it was safe. They saw some flowers, some bugs, and some birds on the way. They also heard some noises that made them scared. + +"What is that?" Mia asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a monster or a bear," Sam said. + +They stopped and looked around. They saw a big dog. It was barking and running towards them. It had a collar and a leash, but no one was holding it. + +"Help! Help!" Sam and Mia shouted. + +They ran back down the hill as fast as they could. They tripped and rolled and got dirty and scratched. They reached the bottom of the hill and saw a man. He was looking for the dog. + +"Sorry, sorry! He got away from me. He is friendly, but he likes to chase things. Are you OK?" the man said. + +Sam and Mia were not OK. They were scared and hurt and angry. They did not like the dog or the man. + +"Go away! Go away! We don't like you or your dog. You ruined our journey. You are bad," Sam and Mia said. + +They ran away from the man and the dog. They went back to the park and found their moms. They told them what happened. Their moms hugged them and gave them some juice and cookies. They said they were brave and smart and good. + +Sam and Mia felt better. They decided they did not want to go on a journey again. They liked to play in the park. The park was safe and fun and nice. +Tom and Lily were sleeping in their beds when they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a big train. They opened their eyes and saw the wind blowing hard outside. The trees were bending and the sky was dark. + +"What is that?" Lily asked Tom, feeling scared. + +"It is a tornado," Tom said. "It is a big wind that can break things. We have to go to the basement." + +Tom and Lily got out of their beds and ran to the door. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them in the hallway. They were holding flashlights and blankets. + +"Come on, kids, we have to hurry," their mom said. "The tornado is coming this way." + +They followed their mom and dad down the stairs to the basement. They closed the door behind them and sat on the floor. They wrapped themselves in the blankets and hugged each other. + +They heard the tornado roar over their house. It made the windows shake and the walls creak. They felt scared, but they knew they were safe with their mom and dad. + +After a while, the noise stopped. They waited for a few minutes, then their dad opened the door and looked outside. + +"It is over," he said. "The tornado is gone. We can go back upstairs." + +They climbed the stairs and saw the sun shining through the clouds. They saw their house was still standing, but some of their neighbors' houses were damaged. They saw people helping each other and cleaning up the mess. + +They were glad they were okay. They thanked their mom and dad for protecting them. They learned that tornadoes are scary, but they can be brave. +Sam was a lonely dog. He lived in a big house with many people, but they did not play with him. They were always busy or angry or tired. Sam wanted a friend who would touch him and talk to him and run with him. + +One day, Sam saw a new boy in the house. He was small and had curly hair and a big smile. Sam liked him right away. He ran to him and wagged his tail. The boy laughed and touched Sam's head. He said, "Hello, doggy. What is your name?" + +Sam barked happily. He licked the boy's face and jumped on him. The boy hugged him and said, "My name is Ben. I am here to visit my grandma. She lives in this house. Do you live here too?" + +Sam nodded. He was so glad to meet Ben. He hoped he would stay for a long time. He followed him everywhere. He played with him in the garden, he slept with him in his bed, he ate with him in the kitchen. Sam was not lonely anymore. He had a friend. + +But one day, Ben had to leave. He packed his bag and said goodbye to his grandma. He looked for Sam and found him in the living room. He knelt down and touched Sam's ear. He said, "I have to go now, Sam. I will miss you a lot. You are a good dog. Thank you for being my friend." + +Sam whined. He did not want Ben to go. He tried to stop him. He grabbed his heel with his teeth and pulled him back. He barked and cried. He begged him to stay. + +But Ben shook his head. He said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I have to go. But I will come back soon. I promise. And I will write to you and send you pictures. And maybe you can come and visit me someday. Would you like that?" + +Sam nodded. He let go of Ben's heel. He licked his hand and wagged his tail. He said goodbye to Ben. He watched him get in the car and drive away. He felt sad and lonely again. But he also felt hopeful. He knew Ben would not forget him. He knew they would see each other again. He knew they were friends. +Tim had a trumpet that he loved very much. He liked to play it every day and make loud noises. He thought he was a great trumpet player and wanted everyone to hear him. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom and saw some other kids playing with a ball. He wanted to join them, but they said no. They said his trumpet was too noisy and annoying. Tim felt sad and angry. He said, "You are mean. My trumpet is great. I will show you." + +He ran away from them and started to blow his trumpet as hard as he could. He did not care if he bothered anyone. He wanted to make them sorry. + +But he did not see a big dog that was sleeping under a tree. The dog woke up and heard the trumpet. The dog did not like the trumpet. The dog barked and ran after Tim. Tim was scared and dropped his trumpet. The dog grabbed the trumpet and ran away with it. + +Tim cried and ran to his mom. He told her what happened. His mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tim. But you should not have played your trumpet so loud and rude. You should have been nice and polite to the other kids. Maybe they would have let you play with them. And you should have been careful of the dog. He did not know you were just playing. He thought you were hurting his ears." + +Tim nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. You always tell me to be kind and respectful to others. And to be gentle and careful with animals. Can you help me get my trumpet back?" + +His mom said, "I will try, Tim. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will not play your trumpet so loud and rude again. You have to promise me that you will play it nicely and softly. And you have to promise me that you will share and play with other kids. Can you do that?" + +Tim said, "Yes, mom. I promise. I will do that. I will be a good boy. I will be a great trumpet player. Thank you, mom." + +His mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Tim. I love you. Now let's go and find that dog and your trumpet." +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park.

They like to count. They are friends. +Sara and her mom went to the grocery store to buy some food. Sara liked to help her mom put the food in the cart. She saw some apples and bananas and said, "Mom, can we get these?" + +"Sure, honey, we can get some fruits. But we have to wash them before we eat them, okay?" her mom said. + +"Why do we have to wash them, mom?" Sara asked. + +"Because they might have some dirt or germs on them. Washing them makes them clean and safe to eat," her mom explained. + +Sara nodded and put the fruits in the cart. Then she saw some cookies and said, "Mom, can we get these too?" + +Her mom looked at the cookies and said, "No, honey, we have enough sweets at home. We need to buy some healthy food, like vegetables and bread and milk." + +Sara pouted and said, "But I want cookies, mom. Please, please, please!" + +Her mom shook her head and said, "No, Sara, you are being too persistent. Cookies are not good for you if you eat too many. You can have one cookie after dinner, but not now." + +Sara was not happy, but she knew her mom was right. She decided to stop asking for cookies and help her mom finish the grocery shopping. She hoped her mom would let her wash the fruits when they got home. She liked to wash things and make them clean. She thought washing was fun. +Lily liked to wear her pink coat. It had a big zip that she could pull up and down. She felt warm and cozy in her coat. She wore it every day when she went to the park with her mom. + +One day, she saw a boy in the park who had no coat. He looked cold and sad. He had a thin shirt and a hole in his pants. Lily felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him. + +She ran to her mom and asked if she could give her coat to the boy. Her mom smiled and said yes. She was proud of Lily for being humble and kind. Lily took off her coat and gave it to the boy. He smiled and thanked her. He put on the coat and zipped it up. He felt warm and happy. + +Lily and the boy played together in the park. They shared their toys and snacks. They became friends. Lily did not miss her coat. She felt warm in her heart. She learned that sharing was better than having. She was a humble and good girl. +Tim and Sam were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball and run after it. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Tim kicked the ball too hard and it went over the fence. Sam ran after the ball and tried to climb the fence. He wanted to get the ball back. + +But the fence was sharp and Sam hurt his hand. He cried out loud and blood came out of his hand. He was very scared and sad. + +Tim heard Sam cry and ran to him. He saw Sam's hand and he panicked. He did not know what to do. He shouted for help. + +A lady who was walking her dog heard Tim and Sam. She came to them and saw Sam's hand. She was very kind and calm. She took out her phone and called an ambulance. She told Tim and Sam that everything would be okay and that the ambulance would come soon. + +The ambulance came with a loud noise and bright lights. Two men came out of the ambulance and looked at Sam's hand. They put a bandage on it and gave him a sticker.

They liked to watch them and learn their names. + +When they came to the ostrich pen, Lila and Ben were curious. Ostriches were big birds with long necks and legs. They had black and white feathers and small heads. Some of them were eating from a bucket of food. + +"Can we feed them, mom?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, honey. Here, take some of this corn. It's tasty for them," mom said, handing them each a handful. + +Lila and Ben walked to the fence and held out their corn. One ostrich came close and pecked at Lila's hand. She giggled and gave it more. Another ostrich approached Ben and tried to take his corn. + +But Ben refused. He pulled his hand back and said, "No, this is mine. You can't have it." + +The ostrich was angry. It opened its beak and hissed at Ben. It flapped its wings and kicked the fence. Ben was scared and ran to his mom. + +"Mom, mom, the ostrich is mean. It wants my corn," he cried. + +Mom hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben. The ostrich is hungry and doesn't understand. You have to share with the animals, they are our friends. Why don't you give it some of your corn and see what happens?" + +Ben nodded and wiped his tears. He took a deep breath and walked back to the fence. He held out his corn and said, "Here, ostrich. You can have some. I'm sorry I was rude." + +The ostrich looked at Ben and tilted its head. It took the corn gently and ate it. It made a soft noise and nodded at Ben. Ben smiled and gave it more. The ostrich was happy and friendly. + +Lila and mom joined Ben and fed the other ostriches. They all had fun and learned to be kind. They thanked the ostriches and said goodbye. They continued their zoo adventure and saw more amazing animals. +Sam liked to eat many things, but he did not like tomatoes. He thought they were red and wet and yucky. His mom always told him to try new things, but he did not want to try tomatoes. + +One day, his mom made a big salad for lunch. She put lettuce, cheese, carrots, and tomatoes in a big bowl. She gave Sam a plate with some salad and said, "Please try some tomatoes, Sam. They are good for you and they taste sweet." + +Sam looked at his plate and saw the red tomatoes. He felt angry. He did not want to eat them. He pushed his plate away and said, "No, thank you. I do not like tomatoes. They are yucky." + +His mom was sad. She said, "Sam, you have to try new things. You might like them if you try them. How do you know they are yucky if you never try them?" + +Sam did not answer. He crossed his arms and made a face. He did not want to try tomatoes. + +His mom had an idea. She took a tomato from the bowl and cut it in half. She showed Sam the inside of the tomato. She said, "Look, Sam. The tomato has seeds and juice. It is like a little watermelon. Do you like watermelon?" + +Sam liked watermelon. He liked the seeds and the juice. He looked at the tomato and saw the seeds and the juice. He was curious. He said, "Maybe I can try a little bit." + +His mom smiled. She gave him a small piece of tomato and said, "Here you go, Sam. Try it and see if you like it." + +Sam took the piece of tomato and put it in his mouth. He chewed it and tasted it. He was surprised. It was not yucky. It was sweet and juicy. He liked it.

You see, trying new things can be fun and yummy." + +Sam nodded. He ate more tomatoes and more salad. He was not angry anymore. He was proud and happy. He learned something new. He liked tomatoes. +Mia and Leo were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with many rocks. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Leo, let's go!" Mia said. She took Leo's hand and ran to the hill. + +They climbed and climbed until they reached the top. They looked around and saw a big tree with many leaves. Under the tree, they saw a shiny thing. + +"What is that?" Leo asked. + +"Let's find out!" Mia said. They ran to the tree and saw a bag. The bag was old and dirty, but it had a shiny lock. + +"Maybe there is something inside!" Mia said. She tried to open the bag, but it was locked. + +"Maybe we need a key!" Leo said. He looked around and saw a small hole in the tree. He put his hand inside and felt something metal. + +"I found it!" Leo said. He pulled out a key. The key was ancient and rusty, but it fit the lock. + +They opened the bag and saw many things. They saw a book, a map, a necklace, a coin, and a feather. + +"Wow, these are treasures!" Mia said.

They also liked to chase their shadows. Their shadows were like their friends, but they could not talk or touch. + +One day, a big cloud came and covered the sun. Ben and Lily could not see their shadows anymore. They were sad and scared. Where did their shadows go? Did someone steal them? + +They looked around and saw a man with a big hat and a big bag. He was walking away from the park. Ben and Lily thought he looked mean and sneaky. Maybe he stole their shadows and put them in his bag. + +"Hey, you!" Ben shouted. "Give us back our shadows!" + +The man turned and saw Ben and Lily. He laughed and said, "What are you talking about, you silly kids? I don't have your shadows. I have my own things in my bag. Go away and leave me alone." + +Ben and Lily did not believe him. They ran after him and tried to grab his bag. The man got angry and pushed them away. He ran faster and faster, but Ben and Lily did not give up. + +They chased him until they reached a bridge. The sun came out from behind the cloud and shone on the water. Ben and Lily looked down and saw their shadows on the water. They were perfect and beautiful. They smiled and waved at their shadows. + +The man also looked down and saw his shadow on the water. He was shocked and scared. His shadow was not perfect and beautiful. His shadow was ugly and scary. It had horns and claws and teeth. It looked like a monster. + +The man screamed and dropped his bag. He ran away from the bridge as fast as he could. He did not want to see his shadow anymore. + +Ben and Lily picked up his bag and opened it. They saw many things inside. They saw toys and books and candy and clothes.

They were happy and brave. They had their shadows back and they did a good thing. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many flowers. They wanted to smell the flowers and see the bees. + +"Look, Tom, there are bees in the tree. They make honey in their hive. Let's go closer and see," Lily said. + +"OK, Lily, but be careful. Bees can sting if they are angry," Tom said. + +They walked to the tree and saw a big hive hanging from a branch. It was brown and round and had many holes. They saw bees flying in and out of the hive. + +"Wow, the hive is so big. I wonder how much honey is inside," Lily said. + +She reached out her hand to touch the hive. But a bee saw her and buzzed loudly. It flew to her hand and stung her. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" Lily cried. + +She ran away from the tree, holding her hand. Tom followed her and saw a red bump on her hand. + +"Are you OK, Lily? Let me see your hand," Tom said. + +He looked at the bump and made a face. + +"Ew, that's disgusting. The bee left its stinger in your hand. We need to take it out and put some ice on it," Tom said. + +He pulled out the stinger and threw it away. He ran to the water fountain and got some ice from the cooler. He wrapped the ice in a napkin and put it on Lily's hand. + +"There, there, Lily. It will feel better soon. Don't touch the hive again, OK?" Tom said. + +Lily nodded and sniffed. She hugged Tom and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I touched the hive. It was a bad idea." + +Tom smiled and said, "It's OK, Lily. You didn't know. But now you do. Bees are good for flowers and honey, but they don't like to be disturbed. They display their anger by stinging. Let's play something else, OK?" + +Lily smiled and said, "OK, Tom. Let's play something else. How about the swings?" + +They walked to the swings and forgot about the hive. They had fun and played until it was time to go home. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their kites. They had red and blue kites with long tails. They ran with their kites in the park and watched them soar in the sky. They felt happy and free. + +One day, a big wind came and blew their kites very high. Ben and Lily tried to hold on to their handles, but the wind was too strong. The kites flew away from them and got stuck in a tree. + +"Oh no!" Ben cried. "Our kites are gone!" + +Lily was sad too. She hugged Ben and said, "Don't cry, Ben. Maybe we can get them back." + +They looked around and saw a man with a ladder. He was fixing a light on a pole. They ran to him and asked, "Please, mister, can you help us? Our kites are in the tree. Can you get them for us?" + +The man smiled and said, "Sure, I can help you. But you have to be quiet and wait here. The ladder is not for kids. It is dangerous." + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Thank you, mister. We will be quiet and wait." + +The man climbed the ladder and reached the tree. He untangled the kites and brought them down. He gave them to Ben and Lily and said, "Here you go, kids. Your kites are safe and sound. Be careful with them next time." + +Ben and Lily were very happy. They thanked the man and said, "You are very kind, mister. We will be careful with our kites. We will not let them fly away again." + +They waved goodbye to the man and ran back to the park. They played with their kites again and watched them soar in the sky. They felt happy and free. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with balls. Lila has a red ball and Ben has a blue ball. They throw and catch the balls in the park. + +One day, they see a big black ball in the grass. It is shiny and smooth. They run to the ball and touch it. It feels hard and bouncy. + +"Wow, what is this?" Lila asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a rubber ball," Ben says. + +"Can we play with it?" Lila says. + +"Sure, let's try," Ben says. + +They take turns to throw and catch the black ball. It flies very high and fast. It is fun, but also hard. Sometimes, they miss the ball and it hits the ground. It makes a loud noise and bounces away. + +"Ouch, this ball is too hard. It hurts my hands," Lila says. + +"Me too. And it is too noisy. It scares the birds," Ben says. + +They look at their red and blue balls. They are soft and quiet. They smile at each other. + +"Let's play with our balls.

It is a shell with a soft thing inside. Some people like to eat oysters. They say they are yummy." + +"Can I eat an oyster, Mom?" + +"Maybe when you are older, Tom. Oysters are not for little kids. They can be hard to open and chew." + +Tom is curious. He wants to see an oyster. He asks his mom if they can go to the beach. + +"OK, Tom. We can go to the beach tomorrow. Maybe we can find some oysters there." + +The next day, Tom and his mom go to the beach. They walk on the sand and look at the waves. They see some shells and rocks.

But this one is very big and old. It has been here for a long time. It is not good to eat." + +Tom is disappointed. He wanted to see an oyster. He lets go of the shell. + +"Sorry, Mom. I thought it was an oyster. I was nosy." + +His mom hugs him. + +"It's OK, Tom. You are not nosy. You are smart and curious. You like to read and learn. That is good. Maybe we can find a real oyster somewhere else. Or we can look at more pictures in your book. Come on, let's go." + +Tom smiles. He holds his mom's hand. He still likes to read books.

He is the best soldier ever!" + +"No, this one is better!" Ben said. "He has a purple head, a black arm, a white leg and a orange sword.

They grow in the garden and in pots." + +Lily was curious. She had never folded a plant before. She asked, "How do I fold a plant?" + +Her mom showed her how to fold the paper into a square, then a triangle, then a smaller triangle. She said, "This is the stem of the plant.

They have a red wagon that they share. They are compassionate, which means they care about how others feel and want to help them. +Tim and Mia like to play by the sea. They see big boats and small boats. They see fish and birds. They have fun. + +One day, they see a very big boat. It is white and shiny. It has many windows and flags. Tim says, "Look, Mia, a yacht!" Mia does not know what a yacht is. She asks, "What is a yacht?" + +Tim says, "A yacht is a big boat for rich people. They can go anywhere they want. They have a lot of toys and food. They are lucky." Mia nods. She thinks a yacht is nice. + +They walk closer to the yacht. They see a man and a woman on the deck. They are wearing fancy clothes and sunglasses. They are drinking and laughing. They do not see Tim and Mia. + +Tim and Mia want to see more of the yacht. They find a ladder that goes up to the deck. They are curious. They climb the ladder. They are careful. They do not make noise. + +They reach the deck. They see many things. They see chairs and tables. They see a pool and a slide. They see a bike and a ball. They are amazed. They want to play. + +They go to the bike. Tim tries to ride it. It is too big for him. He falls. He hurts his knee. He cries. Mia goes to him. She hugs him. She says, "It's okay, Tim. You are tough. You can stand up." + +The man and the woman hear Tim cry. They turn around. They see Tim and Mia. They are angry. They shout, "Hey, what are you doing here? This is our yacht! Get off!" + +Tim and Mia are scared. They run to the ladder. They climb down. They run away. They do not look back. + +They go back to their spot by the sea. They sit on the sand. They are sad. They do not like the yacht anymore. They say, "The yacht is not nice. The people are mean. They do not share. They are not lucky." + +They look at the sea. They see a small boat. It is blue and red. It has a sail and a flag. It has a man and a dog. They are smiling and waving. They look happy. + +Tim and Mia smile and wave back. They say, "Look, Mia, a boat!" Mia says, "Yes, Tim, a boat. A boat is better than a yacht. A boat is fun. A boat is friendly. A boat is lucky." They agree. They like the boat. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs in the water. But today they saw something big and gray. It was a whale! + +"Wow, look at that whale!" Ben said. "It is so big and strong!" + +Lily nodded. "It is very big. But it is also very boring. It just swims and spouts water. It does not play or talk." + +Ben frowned. "That is not true. Whales are not boring. They are smart and friendly. They can make sounds and talk to each other. They can also jump and splash. Maybe this whale is just tired or sad." + +Lily shrugged. "Maybe. But I want to see something more fun. Like a dolphin or a shark. They can do tricks and chase things." + +Ben shook his head. "You are silly. Dolphins and sharks are not as cool as whales. Whales are the biggest and best animals in the sea. They need our support and love. They are in danger from bad people and boats and nets. We should be happy to see them and say hello." + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw that he really liked whales. She felt sorry for being mean. She smiled and said, "Okay, Ben. You are right. Whales are cool and need our support. Let's say hello to the whale and hope it feels better." + +Ben smiled back. He was glad that Lily changed her mind. He waved his hand and shouted, "Hello, whale! We are your friends! We hope you are happy and safe!" + +The whale heard Ben and Lily. It felt their kindness and curiosity. It decided to show them some fun. It swam closer to the shore and lifted its tail. It slapped the water hard and made a big splash. Ben and Lily laughed and clapped. They got wet and happy. The whale spouted water and made a loud sound. It sounded like a thank you. Ben and Lily thanked the whale back. They had a wonderful time. Mom and dad watched them and smiled. They were proud of their children. They knew they learned something important. They learned to love and support the whales. +Timmy liked to play in his big wardrobe. He had many clothes and toys inside. He could pretend to be a pirate, a knight, or a superhero. Sometimes he would request his mom or dad to join him. They would make funny noises and tell him stories. + +One day, Timmy was bored. He wanted to play in his wardrobe, but his mom and dad were busy. They told him to wait a little bit. They had to do some work. Timmy did not like to wait. He was angry. He decided to play in his wardrobe by himself. + +He opened the door and climbed inside. He found his pirate hat and sword. He put them on and said, "Arrr, matey! I'm the captain of this ship!" He looked around and saw a big box. He wondered what was inside. He moved the clothes and toys and opened the box. + +He saw a shiny thing. It looked like a snake, but it had a plug. He was curious. He picked it up and felt it. It was warm and smooth. He liked it. He said, "This is my treasure! I'm the richest pirate in the world!" He wrapped it around his neck and chest. + +He did not know that the shiny thing was a dangerous thing. It was an electric cord. It was plugged into the wall. It had power. When he wrapped it around himself, he made a connection. He felt a shock. He screamed. He dropped the cord and fell to the floor. + +His mom and dad heard him. They ran to the wardrobe. They opened the door and saw him. He was not moving. He was not breathing. He was not alive. They were sad. They cried. They wished they had played with him. They wished they had stopped him. They wished they had told him that the shiny thing was a dangerous thing. But it was too late. Timmy was gone. +Tom and Amy were eager to help their mom bake a cake. They loved to mix the flour, sugar, eggs and milk in a big bowl. They also liked to lick the spoon and taste the batter. + +"Can we put the cake in the oven, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for the oven to be hot enough. The oven is very dangerous. You should never touch it or open it by yourself. It can burn you and make you cry." Mom said. + +Tom and Amy nodded. They knew mom was right. They waited patiently for the oven to beep. Then mom put on her oven mitts and carefully slid the cake pan into the oven. She closed the door and set the timer. + +"Can we watch the cake rise, mom?" Amy asked. + +"Sure, honey. But we have to stay away from the oven. We can look through the glass window, but we can't touch it. It's still very hot." Mom said. + +Tom and Amy agreed. They stood on their tiptoes and peered through the window. They saw the cake grow bigger and browner. It smelled yummy. They couldn't wait to eat it. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Rex. He had knocked over a chair and was barking at a squirrel outside. Tom and Amy ran to the door to see what was going on. They forgot about the oven. + +Mom heard the noise too. She came out of the kitchen and saw Rex chasing the squirrel. She also saw Tom and Amy at the door. She was worried. + +"Tom! Amy! Come back here! You can't leave the oven alone!" She shouted. + +But it was too late. Tom and Amy had opened the door and let Rex out. They followed him into the yard. They wanted to play with him and the squirrel. + +They didn't see the smoke coming out of the oven. They didn't hear the fire alarm. They didn't smell the burnt cake. + +Mom did. She ran back to the kitchen and turned off the oven. She grabbed a towel and opened the door. She saw the black and smoky cake. She was sad and angry. + +She took the cake out of the oven and threw it in the trash. She opened the windows and fanned the smoke. She called Tom and Amy. + +"Tom! Amy! Come here right now!" She yelled. + +Tom and Amy heard mom. They stopped playing and ran back to the house. They saw mom in the kitchen. They saw the smoke and the trash. They saw the empty oven. They knew they had done something bad. + +They felt sorry and scared. They started to cry. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We didn't mean to burn the cake. We just wanted to see Rex and the squirrel." Tom said. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We forgot about the oven. We didn't listen to you. We were silly." Amy said. + +Mom looked at them. She was still sad and angry. But she was also glad that they were safe. She hugged them and wiped their tears. + +"I'm glad you're sorry. But you have to learn to be careful and responsible. The oven is not a toy. It can cause a fire and hurt you and the house. You have to listen to me and follow the rules. Do you understand?" She said. + +Tom and Amy nodded. They understood. They said they were sorry again. They promised to be careful and responsible. They asked mom to forgive them. + +Mom smiled. She forgave them. She loved them very much. She said they could help her bake another cake. But only if they stayed with her and watched the oven. + +Tom and Amy agreed. They were happy. They thanked mom and kissed her. They learned their lesson. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your parents and follow the rules. They are there to protect you and teach you. Don't play with dangerous things like the oven. Be careful and responsible. +Tim liked to dream. He dreamed of big things and small things, of flying and swimming, of playing and laughing. He dreamed every night when he went to sleep in his bed. + +One night, he dreamed of a lizard. The lizard was green and shiny, with a long tail and a big smile. The lizard was his friend, and they had fun together. They ran in the grass, they climbed on the rocks, they hid in the leaves. The lizard told Tim stories and jokes, and Tim laughed and listened. + +But then, Tim heard a noise. It was loud and scary, like a roar. He looked around and saw a big cat. The cat was hungry and angry, and it wanted to eat the lizard. The lizard was afraid, and so was Tim. They tried to run away, but the cat was faster and stronger. + +Tim woke up. He was in his bed, and it was morning. He was sad and scared. He wanted to see the lizard again, and help him. He looked at his pillow, and saw something green and shiny. It was the lizard! The lizard was real, and it had come to his bed. The lizard was calm and happy, and it winked at Tim. Tim smiled and hugged the lizard. He was glad and surprised. He had a new friend, and he had a new dream. +Tim and Sam love to play baseball. They have a big field near their house where they can throw and catch and hit the ball. They have a lot of fun together. + +One day, they see a new boy in the field. He has a red hat and a big bat. He says his name is Max and he wants to play with them. Tim and Sam say yes, because they are nice and they like to make new friends. + +Max is very good at baseball. He can throw the ball very fast and far. He can catch the ball with one hand. He can hit the ball over the fence. Tim and Sam are impressed by Max. They say he is amazing and cool. + +But Max is not nice. He does not share the ball or the bat. He does not take turns. He does not say good job or thank you. He only says mean things. He says Tim and Sam are bad and slow and silly. He says he is the best and they are the worst. + +Tim and Sam feel sad and angry. They do not want to play with Max anymore. They want to go home. They tell Max to stop being mean and go away. But Max does not listen. He laughs and says they are scared and weak. He says he will keep the ball and the bat and they can never have them back. + +Tim and Sam try to get the ball and the bat from Max. But Max is bigger and stronger. He pushes them and hits them and hurts them. He makes them cry. He takes the ball and the bat and runs away. He says he is the winner and they are the losers. + +Tim and Sam remain in the field. They are hurt and sad and alone. They have no ball and no bat and no fun. They have no friend. They wish they never met Max. They wish they could play baseball again. They wish they could go home. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. Sometimes they play hide and seek. Tom likes to scare Lily when he finds her. He jumps out and says "Boo!" Lily screams and runs away. Tom thinks it is funny. + +One day, they play hide and seek again. Lily hides behind a big tree. Tom looks for her. He sees the tree and runs to it. He is ready to scare Lily. But when he gets to the tree, he sees a big dog. The dog barks and shows its teeth. Tom is scared. He screams and runs away. Lily hears him and comes out. She sees the dog and Tom. She laughs and says "Boo!" + +The dog is not mean. It is just playing. It wags its tail and licks Lily's hand. Lily pets the dog and says "Hello, doggy. You are nice. You are not scary." Tom comes back and sees Lily and the dog. He feels silly. He says "Sorry, Lily. I was scared of the dog. I will not scare you anymore." Lily says "It is okay, Tom. You are not silly. You are brave. The dog is our friend." They hug and play with the dog. They have fun. The end. +One day, Sam and Mia wanted to bake a cake with Mom. They put flour, eggs, sugar, and butter in a big bowl and mixed them well. Then they poured the batter into a round pan and put it in the oven. + +"Mom, how long do we have to wait?" Sam asked. + +"Not too long, honey. The cake will be ready when it is golden and smells yummy," Mom said. + +While they waited, they looked out the window and saw the weather. It was raining hard and the wind was blowing. They saw a big puddle on the street and some leaves flying in the air. + +"Wow, look at the weather! It is so wet and noisy!" Mia said. + +"I wish we could go outside and play, but we would get very wet and cold," Sam said. + +"Maybe we can play after the rain stops. We can wear our boots and jump in the puddles," Mia said. + +"That sounds like fun. But first, let's eat our cake," Sam said. + +Soon, the oven beeped and Mom took out the cake. It was enormous and smelled yummy. She put some frosting and sprinkles on top and cut a big slice for each of them. + +"Here you go, kids. Enjoy your cake. You did a great job baking it with me," Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom. The cake is delicious. You are the best," Sam and Mia said. + +They ate their cake and drank some milk. They were happy and full. They hugged Mom and thanked her again. Then they looked out the window and saw that the rain had stopped and the sun was shining. + +"Look, the weather is nice now. Can we go outside and play?" Sam and Mia asked. + +"Sure, you can. But don't forget to wear your boots and coats. And be careful not to get too dirty," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. We will. Bye!" Sam and Mia said. + +They put on their boots and coats and ran outside. They jumped in the puddles and laughed. They had a lot of fun. They loved baking and playing, no matter what the weather was. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, Tom brings a new car to Lily's house. It is big and shiny and green. Lily likes the car very much. + +"Can I play with your car, Tom?" Lily asks. + +"OK, but be careful. It is expensive. My dad gave it to me for my birthday." Tom says. + +Lily takes the car and makes it go vroom vroom on the floor. She pretends it is a race car and goes very fast. She is having fun. + +But then, she bumps the car into the wall. The car makes a loud noise and stops. Lily tries to make it start again, but it does not work. She sees a dent on the car. + +"Oh no, I broke your car, Tom. I'm sorry." Lily says. + +Tom sees his car and gets angry. He snatches the car from Lily and cries. + +"You are a bad friend, Lily. You ruined my car. It is expensive. Go away." Tom says. + +Lily feels sad and sorry. She does not want to lose Tom's friendship. She wants to fix the car and make Tom happy. + +"Please don't be mad, Tom. I didn't mean to break your car. Can we fix it together? Can we still be friends?" Lily says. + +Tom looks at Lily and sees her tears. He remembers that Lily is his friend and that she did not hurt his car on purpose. He feels sorry for being mean to her. + +"OK, Lily. I'm sorry too. I was too angry. Maybe we can fix the car. Maybe we can still be friends." Tom says. + +They hug and smile. They try to fix the car with some tape and glue. They play with other toys and share. They are friends again. +Lily and Max liked to pretend they were animals. They would crawl on the floor, make noises and play with their toys. One day, they decided to pretend they were monkeys. They swung from the sofa, the chairs and the curtains. They made loud "ooh-ooh-ahh-ahh" sounds and ate bananas. + +But then, Lily saw Max's new book on the table. It had big pictures of different animals and their names. Lily wanted to look at the book, but Max did not want to share. + +"Give me the book, Max!" Lily said. "I want to see the animals!" + +"No, Lily, it's mine!" Max said. "You can't have it!" + +They both pulled the book and started to fight. They forgot they were monkeys and started to cry. + +Mama heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the book torn in half and the children upset. + +"What happened here?" Mama asked. "Why are you fighting over a book?" + +Lily and Max told Mama what they were doing and why they wanted the book. + +Mama sighed and hugged them. She said, "I'm glad you like to pretend and learn about animals, but you need to be flexible and share with each other. That's part of wisdom. Wisdom means knowing what is good and fair and kind. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They said they were sorry and hugged each other. They asked Mama to fix the book with tape. Mama smiled and said, "That's a good idea. And maybe you can pretend to be something else today. How about elephants?" + +Lily and Max liked that idea. They put their arms together like trunks and made loud "prrr-prrr" sounds. They walked around the room and pretended to spray water. They had fun and did not fight anymore. They learned to be flexible and wise. +Lily loved chocolate. She always wanted to eat chocolate, even when it was not time for chocolate. One day, she saw a big box of chocolate on the shelf. It was very high, but Lily had a chair. She moved the chair to the shelf and climbed on it. She reached for the box of chocolate. + +"Stop, Lily!" said Mom. "That is not your chocolate. That is a gift for Grandma. Grandma is very old and likes chocolate. It is her birthday tomorrow. You cannot have it." + +Lily did not listen. She grabbed the box of chocolate and opened it. She took a big bite of a chocolate. It was very bitter and hard. Lily made a face and spat it out. + +"Yuck!" she said. "This is not good chocolate. This is bad chocolate." + +Mom came and took the box from Lily. She was very angry. + +"Lily, you are very naughty. You took something that was not yours. You ruined the gift for Grandma. You ate ancient chocolate. That is chocolate from a long time ago. It is not for eating. It is for looking. Now you have to punish. You have to say sorry to Grandma and give her a hug. And you have to go to your room. No more chocolate for you today." + +Lily felt very sorry. She did not know the chocolate was ancient. She did not want to make Mom and Grandma sad. She said sorry to Mom and hugged her. Then she said sorry to Grandma and hugged her. Grandma was not mad. She smiled and said she loved Lily. She gave Lily a new chocolate. It was sweet and soft. Lily liked it. She thanked Grandma and said she loved her too. Then she went to her room. She learned her lesson. She would not take things that were not hers. She would not eat ancient chocolate. She would be a good girl. +Anna and Ben were going on a big trip with Mom and Dad. They had to pack their bags and go to the airport. Anna was very excited. She wanted to see new things and make new friends. Ben was a little scared. He did not like flying and he did not know what to expect. + +At the airport, Mom and Dad gave Anna and Ben their passports. A passport was a small book with their names and pictures. They needed it to go to another country. Anna looked at her passport and smiled. She saw a sticker of a panda that Mom had put on it. She loved pandas. She gazed at the sticker and imagined playing with a real panda. + +"Look, Ben, I have a panda on my passport. Do you have a sticker too?" Anna asked her brother. + +Ben looked at his passport and frowned. He saw a sticker of a lion that Dad had put on it. He did not like lions. He thought they were scary and loud. He gazed at the sticker and imagined being chased by a real lion. + +"No, I don't have a sticker. I have a lion. I don't want a lion. I want a bunny. Bunnies are cute and soft." Ben said. + +"Maybe you can trade your sticker with someone else. Maybe someone else likes lions and has a bunny." Anna suggested. + +"Or maybe we can find a real bunny at the new place. Maybe they have a zoo or a farm." Ben hoped. + +"Maybe. But first we have to get on the plane. Come on, let's go with Mom and Dad. They are waiting for us." Anna said. + +Anna and Ben followed Mom and Dad to the gate. They showed their passports to a lady who smiled and gave them tickets. They boarded the plane and found their seats. Anna looked out the window and saw the clouds and the sun. She felt happy and curious. Ben looked at his lion sticker and felt nervous and brave. He held Mom's hand and closed his eyes. He hoped the plane would be fast and smooth. He hoped the new place would be fun and friendly. He hoped he would see a mighty bunny. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they quarrel over the same toy. One day, they both want to play with the red car. + +"Give me the car, it is mine!" Ben says. + +"No, it is mine, I saw it first!" Mia says. + +They pull and tug at the car. They are very angry. They do not share. + +Mom hears them quarrel. She comes to their room. She is not happy. + +"Why are you quarreling?" Mom asks. "You have many toys. You can play with other toys." + +"But we both want the red car!" Ben and Mia say. + +Mom looks at the red car. She sees a knob on the side. She turns the knob. The car makes a loud noise. It is a siren. + +"Look, this car is special. It is a fire truck. It can help people in trouble. Do you want to help people?" Mom asks. + +Ben and Mia are alert. They like to help people. They stop quarreling. + +"Yes, we want to help people!" Ben and Mia say. + +Mom smiles. She gives them each a hat. They are fire hats. + +"Now you can be fire fighters. You can work together. You can take turns with the fire truck. But you have to be careful. Do not make too much noise. Do not disturb Dad. He is working in his office." Mom says. + +Ben and Mia nod. They are happy. They put on their fire hats. They play with the fire truck. They do not quarrel. They share. They are good twins. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They pretend that the doll and the car are friends and go on adventures together. + +"Let's serve them some food," Anna says. "They must be hungry after so much fun." + +"OK," Ben says. "What do they like to eat?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She sees a banana on the table. "How about a banana?" she asks. + +"Good idea," Ben says. He takes the banana and peels it. He breaks it into two pieces and gives one to Anna. "Here, you can give this to your doll." + +Anna takes the banana piece and holds it to her doll's mouth. "Here you go, Daisy," she says. "This is a yummy banana. You will like it." + +Ben does the same with his car. He puts the banana piece on the car's hood. "Here you go, Zoom," he says. "This is a yummy banana. You will like it." + +But then, something smelly happens. The banana piece on the car starts to rot and smell bad. It attracts a lot of flies and ants. Ben and Anna notice the smell and the bugs and make a face. + +"Yuck!" Ben says. "What is that smell?" + +"Yuck!" Anna says. "Look at the bugs!" + +They see that the banana piece on the car is the problem. They are scared and disgusted. They drop their toys and run away. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" they cry. "Help us! There is a smelly banana on the car!" + +Mommy and Daddy hear their cries and come to the living room. They see the mess and the smell and the bugs. They are not happy. + +"Who put a banana on the car?" Mommy asks. + +"Who left a banana on the table?" Daddy asks. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry and ashamed. They know they did something wrong. + +"We did," they say together. "We wanted to serve our toys some food. But we didn't know the banana would go bad and smell and bring bugs." + +Mommy and Daddy sigh. They are not angry, but they are disappointed. They explain to Anna and Ben that bananas are not good for cars and that they should not waste food or leave it out. They tell them to clean up their toys and the banana and the bugs. They also tell them to say sorry to their toys. + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand their mistake. They go back to their toys and pick them up. They say sorry to Daisy and Zoom. They also say sorry to Mommy and Daddy. They help them clean up the living room. + +Mommy and Daddy hug them and forgive them. They tell them that they love them and that they are proud of them for being honest and helpful. They also tell them that they can serve their toys some food, but only pretend food, not real food. + +Anna and Ben smile. They are happy and relieved. They thank Mommy and Daddy and hug them back. They go back to playing with their toys, but this time, they use pretend food, not real food. They have fun and no more smelly problems. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big bird in the sky. The bird is black and white and has a long neck. Lily and Tom point at the bird and say, "Look, look, a big bird!" + +The bird sees Lily and Tom and flies down to them. The bird lands on the grass and makes a loud sound. "Honk, honk, honk!" The bird says. Lily and Tom are scared and run away. The bird chases them and tries to peck them. + +"Help, help, a big bird!" Lily and Tom shout. They run to their mom and dad, who are sitting on a bench. Mom and dad see the bird and laugh. They tell Lily and Tom that the bird is not a bad bird. The bird is a goose and it lives in the park. The goose is just curious and wants to play. + +Lily and Tom stop being scared and look at the goose. The goose stops chasing them and looks at them too. The goose makes a softer sound. "Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm." The goose says. Lily and Tom smile and say, "Hello, goose, do you want to play?" + +The goose nods and wags its tail. Lily and Tom find some bread and throw it to the goose. The goose eats the bread and makes a happy sound. "Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm." The goose says. Lily and Tom laugh and clap their hands. They make a new friend in the park. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, run, and climb. But their favorite thing was the slide. The slide was big and shiny and fast. + +One day, they saw a new slide in the park. It was bigger and shinier and faster than the old slide. It also had a twist and a loop. Lily and Ben wanted to try it. They ran to the new slide and waited in line. + +"Wow, this slide looks fun!" Lily said. + +"Are you scared?" Ben asked. + +"No, are you?" Lily said. + +"No, I'm brave!" Ben said. + +They reached the front of the line. Lily went first. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She looked down and saw the twist and the loop. She felt a little scared, but she smiled at Ben. + +"Ready, set, go!" she shouted and pushed herself down the slide. + +She went very fast. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She screamed with joy as she twisted and looped. She landed on the ground with a thud. She was happy and proud. She looked up and saw Ben. + +"Come on, Ben, it's your turn!" she said. + +Ben climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. He looked down and saw the twist and the loop. He felt very scared, but he did not want to show it. He tried to smile at Lily. + +"Ready, set, go!" he whispered and pushed himself down the slide. + +He went very fast. He felt the wind in his ears and the sun in his eyes. He screamed with fear as he twisted and looped. He landed on the ground with a bump. He was dizzy and scared. He looked up and saw Lily. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked. + +Ben nodded. He did not want to cry. He did not like the new slide. He thought it was too dangerous. + +"Let's go back to the old slide," he said. + +"Okay, Ben, let's go," Lily said. + +She took his hand and they ran to the old slide. They slid down together. They laughed and hugged. They were still best friends. They liked the old slide. It was safe and fun. They did not need a surprise. +Tom and Anna liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They drove them on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. Sometimes they made noises like vroom, beep, and honk. + +One day, they had a new idea. They wanted to drive their cars in the water. They saw a stream in the park near their house. The stream was small and clear. They thought it would be fun to see their cars float and splash. + +They took their cars and ran to the park. They did not tell their mom or dad. They were very creative and naughty. They found a spot where the stream was shallow and calm. They put their cars in the water and watched them move. They laughed and clapped. + +But then, something bad happened. The stream became faster and deeper. The water carried their cars away. They could not catch them. They cried and shouted. "Help! Help! Our cars are gone!" + +Their mom and dad heard them and came running. They saw their cars in the water, but they could not reach them. They were angry and sad. They scolded Tom and Anna. "Why did you do that? Why did you not listen to us? You lost your cars and you could have been hurt!" + +Tom and Anna felt sorry and scared. They hugged their mom and dad and said sorry. But they knew they had done a bad thing. They had no more cars to play with. They learned a hard lesson. They never drove their cars in the water again. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making up stories with their dolls and cars. Anna was very creative and liked to pretend that her doll was a princess who needed to be rescued from a dragon. Ben liked to pretend that his car was a brave knight who could fight the dragon. + +One day, they decided to make a dragon out of a napkin. They folded and twisted the napkin until it looked like a scary monster with wings and teeth. They put it on the couch and pretended that it was guarding the princess doll. + +"Help me, help me!" Anna made the princess doll say. "The dragon is going to eat me!" + +"Don't worry, princess, I'm coming!" Ben made the knight car say. He zoomed the car towards the couch and tried to knock the napkin dragon off. + +But the napkin dragon was too strong and held on to the couch. It roared and snapped at the knight car. Ben and Anna were getting frustrated. They wanted to rescue the princess, but they didn't know how. + +Then, they had an idea. They looked around and saw a bottle of water on the table. They grabbed the bottle and poured some water on the napkin dragon. The napkin dragon got wet and soggy and fell off the couch. + +"Hooray, we did it!" Ben and Anna cheered. They picked up the princess doll and the knight car and hugged them. "You are safe now, princess. The dragon is gone." + +"Thank you, knight. You are very brave and smart." Anna made the princess doll say. + +They put the toys back in their box and threw away the napkin dragon. They learned that sometimes, being creative can help you solve problems. They also learned that playing together is more fun than playing alone. They smiled and gave each other a high five. Then, they went to have a snack and a nap. They had a very good day. +Tommy was very excite to go to the park with his mom. He loved to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. He put on his hat, his shoes and his coat and ran to the door. + +"Wait, Tommy," his mom said. "You have to clean your room first. It is very messy. You have toys and clothes everywhere. If you clean your room, you will get a reward." + +Tommy did not want to clean his room. He wanted to go to the park. He pouted and said, "No, mom. I don't want to clean my room. It is too hard." + +His mom smiled and said, "It is not too hard, Tommy. You can do it. I will help you. If you clean your room, you will get a reward. Do you know what the reward is?" + +Tommy shook his head. He did not know what the reward was. + +His mom said, "The reward is a big ice cream cone. You can choose your favorite flavor. Do you like ice cream, Tommy?" + +Tommy nodded. He loved ice cream. He liked chocolate and vanilla and strawberry. He said, "Yes, mom. I like ice cream. Can I have ice cream now?" + +His mom said, "No, Tommy. You have to clean your room first. Then you can have ice cream. Come on, let's go. It will be fun." + +Tommy decided to clean his room. He wanted to have ice cream. He wanted to go to the park. He followed his mom to his room. He picked up his toys and put them in the box. He picked up his clothes and put them in the hamper. He made his bed and put his pillow on it. He looked around and saw that his room was not messy anymore. It was clean and neat. + +"Good job, Tommy," his mom said. "You cleaned your room very well. You are a good boy. Now you can have your reward. Let's go to the park and get some ice cream." + +Tommy was very happy. He hugged his mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom. I love you." + +They went to the park and had a lot of fun. Tommy played on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. He also got a big ice cream cone with chocolate and vanilla and strawberry. He ate it with a big smile. He was very excite. He had a great day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to find sticks and stones and make things with them. They saw a big log and ran to it. It was brown and hard and had many holes. + +"Look, Ben, a log house!" Lily said. She crawled inside one of the holes. It was dark and cold and smelled funny. She shivered. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. He followed her inside the hole. He shivered too. + +"I'm okay, but I don't like it here. It's too dark and cold and smelly. Let's go out," Lily said. She crawled back to the opening. She saw something move in the hole. It was a big black spider. It had eight legs and two eyes and a red spot on its back. It looked angry. + +"Ben, watch out! A spider!" Lily screamed. She grabbed Ben's hand and pulled him out of the hole. They ran away from the log as fast as they could. + +They reached a sunny spot in the forest. They saw a big tree with green leaves and red apples. They picked some apples and ate them. They were sweet and juicy and made them feel healthy. + +"That was scary, Lily. I don't like spiders," Ben said. + +"Me neither, Ben. But we are safe now. And we have apples. They are yummy and good for us," Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They decided to play somewhere else in the forest. They liked to find sticks and stones and make things with them. But they never went near the log again. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has oil in it. The oil is for the cars. + +"Look, oil!" Tom says. "Let's go see the truck." + +Lila and Tom run to the truck. They are curious. They want to touch the oil. But the truck driver sees them. He is angry. + +"Hey, kids! Go away! This oil is not for you!" he shouts. "It is dangerous!" + +Lila and Tom are scared. They do not want to make the truck driver mad. They do not want to touch the oil. They want to go back to the park. + +"Sorry, sir!" Lila says. "We did not know. We will go now." + +But the truck driver is not nice. He grabs Lila's arm. He wants to keep her. He thinks she is a thief. + +"Let me go!" Lila cries. "Help, Tom!" + +Tom is clever. He sees a big rock. He picks it up. He throws it at the truck. The rock hits the oil tank. The oil tank breaks. The oil spills out. + +"Wow!" Tom says. "Look at the oil!" + +The truck driver is shocked. He lets go of Lila. He runs to the truck. He tries to stop the oil. But it is too late. The oil is everywhere. + +Lila and Tom run away. They run to the park. They are safe. They are happy. + +"That was close!" Lila says. "You are clever, Tom. You saved me." + +Tom smiles. He hugs Lila. They are friends. They like to play in the park. +Lily and Ben went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and water. They saw many things at the beach: shells, crabs, birds, and boats. + +Lily wanted to measure how big the beach was. She asked Ben to help her. They found a long stick and a big rock. They put the rock on one end of the stick and walked with the other end. They counted how many steps they took. + +One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. They reached a bald man who was sitting on a towel. He had no hair on his head. He smiled at them and said hello. + +"Hello, mister," Lily said. "We are measuring the beach. How far is it to the water?" + +The bald man looked at the stick and the rock. He laughed and said, "That's a very clever way to measure, but I think you need a longer stick. The water is very far from here. Maybe you can use this rope instead." He gave them a long rope that he had in his bag. + +"Thank you, mister," Ben said. "You are very nice. Come on, Lily, let's try again." + +Lily and Ben took the rope and started to measure again. They walked and walked and walked. They saw more things at the beach: a kite, a dog, a castle, and a wave. + +They finally reached the water. They were very happy. They splashed and jumped and laughed. They forgot about the rope and the stick and the rock. They had fun at the beach. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the big building where they lived. One day, they saw a new elevator. It was shiny and fast. They wanted to try it. + +"Let's go inside!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Sam said. + +They pushed the button and the door opened. They ran inside and pushed more buttons. The elevator went up and down very fast. They laughed and screamed. + +"Stop it!" a voice said. It was the man who worked in the building. He was angry. "You are making too much noise! You are breaking the elevator!" + +Tom and Sam were scared. They stopped pushing buttons. They wanted to get out. But the elevator did not stop. It made a loud noise and shook. Then it stopped in the middle of the floor. The door did not open. The lights went out. It was dark and quiet. + +"Help!" Tom and Sam cried. "We are stuck!" + +They banged on the door and shouted. But no one heard them. They waited and waited. They were hungry and thirsty and cold. They were sorry. They regretted playing with the elevator. They wished they had listened to the man. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with things that are not yours. You might get in trouble or hurt yourself. Always listen to the adults who know better. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers and trees and birds. They wanted to play with the ball, but mom said they had to be careful of the bees. + +"Why?" Tom asked. + +"Because bees can sting you if you make them angry. It hurts a lot and you can get sick. So don't touch them or go near their home," mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and ran to the grass. They threw the ball to each other and had fun. But then, Tom saw a big yellow and black bee flying near a flower. He was curious and wanted to see it closer. He left the ball and walked to the flower. + +"Tom, no!" Lily shouted. "Mom said no bees!" + +But Tom did not listen. He reached out his hand to touch the bee. The bee did not like that. It buzzed and flew to Tom's face. It stung him on his nose. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. "It hurts! It hurts!" + +Lily ran to him and saw his nose was red and swollen. She felt sorry for him. She took off her hat and covered his nose with it. She hoped it would make him feel better. + +"Mom! Mom!" Lily called. "Tom got stung by a bee!" + +Mom heard her and came quickly. She saw Tom's nose and felt his forehead. He was hot and crying. She looked worried. + +"Oh, no. Tom, you are allergic to bees. We have to go to the doctor right now. You need medicine," mom said. + +She picked up Tom and carried him to the car. Lily followed her with the ball and the hat. She held Tom's hand and said, "Don't worry, Tom. The doctor will help you. You will be okay." + +Tom nodded and sniffed. He felt helpless and scared. He wished he had listened to mom and Lily. He learned his lesson. He would never touch a bee again. +Lily was very tired. She wanted to sleep, but her mom said she had to eat first. She sat at the table and looked at her plate. She did not like what she saw. There were green things and brown things and white things. She did not want to eat them. She wanted to eat cake. + +She yawned and pushed her plate away. "I don't want this, Mom. I want cake," she said. + +Mom shook her head. "No, Lily. You have to eat your dinner first. It is good for you. Cake is only for dessert. Here, use your fork and try some." + +Lily did not listen. She was angry and foolish. She grabbed her fork and threw it at Mom. The fork flew across the room and hit Mom in the eye. Mom screamed and dropped her glass. The glass broke and water spilled everywhere. + +Lily was scared. She did not mean to hurt Mom. She wanted to say sorry, but Mom was too mad. She grabbed Lily and took her to her room. She locked the door and left her alone. + +Lily cried and cried. She wished she had eaten her dinner. She wished she had not thrown her fork. She wished she had not been foolish. She was hungry and lonely and sad. She had no cake and no Mom. She had a very bad ending. +Lily and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. But their favorite thing was to look at the statue. The statue was a big man with a hat and a coat. He had a book in one hand and a stick in the other. He looked very smart and kind. + +One day, Lily and Ben saw some boys throwing stones at the statue. They were trying to break his hat and his book. Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They loved the statue and they did not want him to get hurt. They ran to the boys and shouted, "Stop! Stop! You are bad! You are mean! Leave the statue alone!" + +The boys laughed and said, "Why do you care? It's just a statue. It's not alive. It's not real. It's not fun. It's boring and old." They threw more stones and made fun of Lily and Ben. + +Lily and Ben did not listen to them. They knew the statue was not alive, but they still cared. They cared because the statue was beautiful and special. They cared because the statue told a story. They cared because the statue was a friend. They stood in front of the statue and tried to protect him. + +A man saw what was happening and came to help. He was a guard who worked in the park. He told the boys to stop and go away. He said, "You should be ashamed of yourselves. You have no respect for the statue or for the people who made it. The statue is a symbol of our history and our values. He is honest, brave and wise. He is someone we can look up to and learn from. You should be sorry and say sorry." + +The boys were scared of the guard and ran away. They did not say sorry. They did not feel sorry. They did not care. Lily and Ben thanked the guard and said sorry for the trouble. The guard smiled and said, "You don't have to be sorry. You did the right thing. You showed courage and kindness. You showed that you care. You are honest, good and smart. You are someone I can be proud of and happy for." + +Lily and Ben felt happy and proud. They hugged the guard and the statue. They said, "We love you, statue. We love you, guard. You are our friends. We will always care." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with many rocks. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on top. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go up!" Ben said. + +"OK, Ben, but be careful. The rocks are slippery and hard," Lily said. + +They started to climb the hill, holding hands and helping each other. They saw many flowers, bugs and birds on the way. They were having fun. + +But when they reached the top, they saw something scary. It was a skull. A skull is a bone that looks like a head, but has no skin or hair or eyes. It was white and dirty and had some teeth. + +"Look, Lily, a skull!" Ben said. + +"Whoa, Ben, that's creepy! Where did it come from?" Lily said. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it was an animal or a person a long time ago," Ben said. + +They got closer to the skull and touched it. It was cold and hard and smooth. They felt curious and brave. + +But then, something bad happened. The skull was on a loose rock. When they touched it, the rock moved and rolled down the hill. The skull fell with the rock and hit Ben on the head. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. + +"Ben, are you OK?" Lily asked. + +Ben felt dizzy. Dizzy is when your head spins and you feel sick. He could not stand. He fell on the ground and closed his eyes. + +"Ben, Ben, wake up!" Lily shouted. + +She was scared and sad. She hugged Ben and cried. She wanted to help him. + +She saw some people walking by the park. She waved her arms and yelled. + +"Help, help, please help! My friend is hurt! He has a skull on his head!" + +The people heard Lily and ran to the hill. They saw Ben and the skull and the rock. They called an ambulance. An ambulance is a big car that has a siren and a cross. It takes sick or hurt people to the hospital. + +The ambulance came and took Ben and Lily to the hospital. The doctors checked Ben and gave him some medicine. They said he had a bump on his head, but he would be OK. + +Lily was happy and relieved. She held Ben's hand and said sorry. + +"Sorry, Ben, I should have not touched the skull. It was a bad idea," Lily said. + +"It's OK, Lily, it was not your fault. It was an accident. You are a good friend," Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged. They learned a lesson. They decided to never touch skulls again. They also decided to always wear helmets when they climb hills. They were still friends. +Mia and Leo were playing in the park. They liked to climb the trees and swing on the branches. They saw a big branch that looked like a bridge. They wanted to cross it. + +"Can we go on the branch?" Mia asked Leo. + +"OK, but be careful. It is very high," Leo said. + +They held hands and walked on the branch. They looked down and saw the grass and the flowers. They felt like birds. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Mia said. + +"Yes, it is. But don't look too much. You might fall," Leo said. + +They reached the other side of the branch. They saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a shiny watch on his wrist. It looked expensive. + +"Hello, kids. What are you doing?" the man asked. + +"We are playing on the branch. It is like a bridge," Mia said. + +"That's nice. But you should be careful. The branch might break. And you might hurt yourself," the man said. + +"We are careful. We are not scared," Leo said. + +The man smiled. He looked at his watch. He seemed worried. + +"You know, kids, sometimes it is good to relax. To forget about the time and the money and the problems. To enjoy the simple things. Like the trees and the flowers and the sky," the man said. + +Mia and Leo nodded. They did not understand everything the man said. But they liked his smile. + +"Maybe you are right. Maybe we should relax more," Mia said. + +"Maybe you can teach us how to relax," Leo said. + +The man laughed. He took off his watch and put it in his pocket. He stood up and walked to the branch. + +"OK, kids. Let's relax. Let's play on the branch. But be careful," the man said. + +Mia and Leo clapped their hands. They followed the man to the branch. They held his hands and walked on the branch. They looked at the trees and the flowers and the sky. They felt happy. They relaxed. +Sam and Mia liked to play at the park. They liked to go on the slide, the swings, and the seesaw. One day, they saw a big sack near the slide. They were curious. What was in the sack? + +They went to the sack and opened it. Inside, they saw many balls of different colors. They were happy. They took out the balls and started to throw them, catch them, and roll them. They had fun with the balls. + +But then, a man came to the park. He looked angry. He saw the sack and the balls. He said, "Hey, those are my balls! I was going to use them for a game. Why did you take them out of the sack?" + +Sam and Mia were confused. They did not know the man. They did not know the game. They thought the sack and the balls were for anyone to play with. They said, "We are sorry. We did not know. We just wanted to play." + +The man sighed. He said, "It's okay. I guess you didn't mean any harm. But please, put the balls back in the sack. And don't touch them again. They are not toys. They are for a special game." + +Sam and Mia nodded. They felt sorry. They put the balls back in the sack. They said, "We are sorry again. We won't touch them again. Can we still play on the slide?" + +The man smiled. He said, "Sure, you can play on the slide. Just be careful. And have fun." + +Sam and Mia thanked the man. They went to the slide. They slid down, up, and down again. They forgot about the sack and the balls. They were happy again. +Anna liked to sing and dance. She wanted to be on the stage with the big girls. They had pretty dresses and shiny shoes. They sang loud and danced fast. Anna watched them every day. + +One day, Anna saw a dress and shoes by the stage. They were pink and sparkly. Anna wanted to try them on. She removed her old dress and shoes and put on the new ones. She felt like a princess. She ran to the stage and started to sing and dance. + +But the big girls saw her. They were angry. They said, "That's our dress and shoes! You can't wear them! You are too small and silly!" They ran to the stage and grabbed Anna. They removed the dress and shoes from her and pushed her off the stage. Anna fell down and hurt her knee. She cried. She felt helpless. + +A nice lady saw what happened. She was the teacher. She came to Anna and hugged her. She said, "Don't cry, Anna. You are not too small or silly. You are brave and sweet. You can sing and dance with us. We have another dress and shoes for you. They are yellow and sunny. They are perfect for you." She helped Anna put on the new dress and shoes. She took her to the stage and said, "Now, let's sing and dance together. You are part of our show." Anna smiled. She felt happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Ben had many red blocks and Lily had many blue blocks. They wanted to make a big square with all their blocks. + +"Let me have some of your red blocks, Ben," Lily said. "I need them for my side of the square." + +"No, Lily, these are my blocks. You have enough blue blocks. Go away," Ben said. He did not want to share his blocks with Lily. + +Lily was sad and angry. She tried to take some of Ben's blocks, but he pushed her away. They started to fight over the blocks. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The blocks fell down and made a big mess. + +"Stop it, stop it, both of you!" their mom said. She came into the room and saw the blocks and the children. She was not happy. "Why are you fighting over the blocks? You are supposed to play nicely and share. You are both intelligent children. You should know better." + +Ben and Lily looked at their mom. They felt sorry for what they did. They did not want to make their mom angry. They wanted to make her happy. + +"We are sorry, mom," Ben and Lily said. "We will not fight over the blocks anymore. We will share and make a big square together." + +"That's good, children," their mom said. "Now, pick up the blocks and put them back in the box. Then you can start again and make a big square. But remember, if you want to play with the blocks, you have to surrender some of them to each other. That's how you play fair and have fun." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They picked up the blocks and put them back in the box. Then they took some red blocks and some blue blocks and started to make a big square. They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy to play with the blocks and with each other. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together at school. But today is Wednesday. On Wednesday, they have to go to the big room with the loud music. Lily and Ben are scared of the big room. They do not like the loud music. It hurts their ears. + +"Can we stay here?" Lily asks Ben. She points to the sandbox. They have fun in the sandbox. They make castles and dig holes. + +"No, we have to go," Ben says. He looks at the teacher. The teacher is smiling. She holds a big drum. She likes the big room and the loud music. She says it is fun. + +"Come on, Lily and Ben," the teacher says. "It is time for music class. You will have fun, too. You can play with the drum and the bells and the shakers. It is not scary. It is fun." + +Lily and Ben hold hands. They walk to the big room. They are still scared. But they try to be brave. They follow the teacher. They see the drum and the bells and the shakers. They see other kids playing with them. They hear the loud music. But it is not so bad. It is kind of fun. + +Lily and Ben try to play with the drum and the bells and the shakers. They make some noise. They laugh. They are not scared anymore. They are having fun. They like the big room and the loud music. They like Wednesday. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their toys together. Yesterday, they went to the park with their moms. Ben had a new red car that he loved. Lily wanted to play with it too. + +"Can I have a turn with your car, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"No, it's mine. You have your own toys," Ben said. He was stubborn and did not want to share. + +"Please, Ben, just for a little while. I'll give it back to you," Lily said. She was sad and hoped Ben would be nice. + +"No, no, no. Go away, Lily. You can't have my car," Ben said. He drove his car away from Lily. + +Lily felt angry and hurt. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. She went to find her mom and told her what happened. + +"Lily, I'm sorry Ben was not kind to you. Sometimes, friends need to learn how to lend and share their toys. Maybe you can show him how to do that," Lily's mom said. + +She gave Lily a hug and a cookie. She also had a surprise for her. + +"Lily, look what I have for you. It's a new yellow bike. Do you like it?" Lily's mom said. + +Lily's eyes lit up. She loved the bike. It was shiny and had a bell. + +"Wow, thank you, mom. It's beautiful. Can I ride it now?" Lily said. + +"Of course, you can. But remember, if Ben asks you to play with your bike, what will you say?" Lily's mom said. + +Lily thought for a moment. She remembered how Ben made her feel. She did not want to be like him. She wanted to be a good friend. + +"I will say yes, mom. I will lend him my bike for a little while. Maybe he will learn to share his car too," Lily said. + +Lily's mom smiled. She was proud of Lily. She helped her put on her helmet and took her to the park. Lily rode her bike and had fun. She saw Ben playing with his car. She waved at him and said hello. + +"Hi, Lily. That's a nice bike. Can I have a turn?" Ben asked. + +Lily smiled. She stopped her bike and got off. + +"Sure, Ben. You can have a turn. But you have to be careful and give it back to me soon," Lily said. + +Ben was surprised. He did not expect Lily to be so generous. He felt sorry for being mean to her. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I did not lend you my car. Do you want to play with it now?" Ben said. + +Lily nodded. She was happy that Ben apologized. She took his car and gave him her bike. They played together and shared their toys. They had a lot of fun. They learned how to lend and be kind. They were best friends again. +Lily was hungry. She wanted a snack. She went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. But the fridge was empty. There was no food inside. + +"Mommy, where is the food?" Lily asked. + +Mommy came to the kitchen. She looked at the fridge. She was sad. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. We have no money to buy food. We need to wait until Daddy gets paid," Mommy said. + +Lily did not understand. She did not know what money was. She only knew that she was hungry. + +"But I'm hungry, Mommy. Can I have something to eat?" Lily said. + +Mommy hugged Lily. She tried to smile. + +"I know, sweetie. Me too. But we have to be strong. Maybe we can find something in the pantry. Come on, let's look together," Mommy said. + +They went to the pantry. They looked for food. They found a can of beans and a loaf of bread. They were happy. + +"Look, Lily. We have beans and bread. We can make a sandwich. Do you want a sandwich?" Mommy asked. + +Lily nodded. She liked beans and bread. She helped Mommy make a sandwich. They shared it. It was yummy. + +They ate the sandwich. They felt better. They thanked God for the food. + +"Mommy, when will Daddy come home?" Lily asked. + +"Soon, honey. Soon. He is working hard to gain money for us. He loves us very much. And we love him too," Mommy said. + +Lily smiled. She loved Daddy. She loved Mommy. She hoped Daddy would come home soon. And bring more food. And fill the fridge. +Lily was very hungry. She wanted to eat some soup. She saw a big pot on the stove. She smelled the soup. It smelled good. + +She climbed on a chair. She reached for the pot. She stretched her arm. She wanted to get a spoon. But the pot was too hot. She burned her hand. She cried. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" she shouted. + +Mom heard her cry. She ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the chair. She saw the pot on the stove. She saw the burn on Lily's hand. She was angry and worried. + +"Lily, what are you doing?" she asked. "You should not touch the pot. It is very hot. You could get hurt. You could spill the soup. The soup is for dinner. It is not for you now." + +She took Lily off the chair. She put some ice on Lily's hand. She hugged Lily. She said sorry. + +Lily felt bad. She said sorry too. She did not want to touch the pot. She did not want to burn her hand. She did not want to make Mom angry. She just wanted to eat some soup. + +Mom smiled. She said it was okay. She said she loved Lily. She said she would make some soup for Lily later. She said she would make it better. She said the soup on the stove was terrible. She said she forgot to add salt. She said she would throw it away. + +Lily laughed. She said she did not want to eat terrible soup. She said she wanted to eat good soup. She said she would wait for Mom. She said she would help Mom. She said she would not stretch her arm anymore. She said she would be careful. She said she loved Mom too. +Ben and Lily liked to play pretend. They had a big box of dress-up clothes and toys. One day, they decided to play spies. Ben put on a hat and a coat. Lily wore a scarf and sunglasses. They took a walkie-talkie and a flashlight. + +They went to the backyard and looked for a secret base. They found a big tree with a hole in it. They crawled inside and saw a shiny bottle. It had a skull and crossbones on it. "Look, poison!" Ben said. "The bad guys must have left it here. We have to stop them!" + +Lily nodded. She had an idea. She took the bottle and ran outside. She saw a big rock near the fence. She lay the bottle on the rock. Then she ran back to the tree. She whispered to Ben, "I have a plan. We will trick the bad guys. When they come to get the poison, we will jump out and catch them!" + +Ben liked the plan. He and Lily waited in the tree. They held the walkie-talkie and the flashlight. They were ready. They watched the rock. They hoped the bad guys would come soon. They wanted to save the world. +Tom and Sue were hungry. They wanted to eat some bread and butter. They saw a big jar of butter on the shelf in the kitchen. But the shelf was too high for them. They could not reach the butter. + +"Let's get a chair and stand on it," Tom said. "Then we can get the butter." + +"OK," Sue said. They dragged a chair to the shelf and climbed on it. Tom stretched his arm to get the butter. But the jar was too far. He leaned forward and tried to grab it. + +"Be careful, Tom," Sue said. "You might fall." + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted the butter. He leaned more and more. Then he lost his balance. He fell off the chair and hit his head on the floor. The jar of butter fell too and broke into pieces. Butter and glass were everywhere. + +Tom cried. He was hurt and scared. Sue cried too. She was sorry and scared. They heard their mom coming. She was angry and worried. She saw the mess and the blood. She yelled at them and took them to the doctor. They had to get stitches and a bandage. They did not get to eat any bread and butter. They were in trouble and in pain. It was a bad day. +Tim and Mia went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and monkeys. But their favorite was the big gorilla. He was black and hairy, and he had a funny face. + +"Look, mom, he is eating a banana!" Tim said. + +"Yes, he is. The zookeepers provide bananas and other fruits for the gorilla. He likes them very much," mom said. + +Mia wanted to give the gorilla a banana too. She saw a bunch of bananas on a cart near the cage. She ran to the cart and grabbed a banana. She threw it to the gorilla. + +"Here, gorilla, have a banana!" Mia said. + +But the banana did not reach the gorilla. It fell on the ground, near a snake. The snake was green and scaly, and it had a sharp tongue. It hissed and slithered towards the banana. + +"Oh no, a snake!" Mia cried. She was scared of snakes. She felt helpless. She wanted to run away, but she was too afraid. + +The gorilla saw the snake and the banana. He saw Mia and her fear. He did not like snakes either. He wanted to help Mia. He reached out his big hand and grabbed the snake. He threw it away, far from the cage. He picked up the banana and peeled it. He smiled and waved at Mia. + +"Thank you, gorilla, you are very brave!" Mia said. She smiled and waved back. + +The gorilla ate the banana and made a happy sound. He liked Mia and her banana. He was glad he could help her. + +Tim and mom came to Mia. They hugged her and told her it was okay. They praised the gorilla for his kindness. They decided to name him Banjo, because he liked bananas and he was a hero. They stayed with Banjo for a while, and then they said goodbye. They promised to visit him again soon. Banjo nodded and waved. He was happy to have new friends. +Lily and Tom are playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily is the seeker and Tom is the hider. Lily counts to ten and then opens her eyes. She looks around and tries to find Tom. + +"Where are you, Tom?" she calls out. "I will find you!" + +Tom is hiding behind a big post. He is very quiet and still. He hopes Lily will not see him. He likes this game. He thinks he is good at hiding. + +Lily walks around the garden. She looks behind the trees, under the bench, and in the shed. She does not see Tom. She is alert and listens for any sound. She hears a bird singing, a dog barking, and a car honking. + +"Tom, are you here?" she asks. "Are you hiding from me?" + +Tom hears Lily's voice. He wants to answer, but he knows that will give him away. He stays silent and holds his breath. He thinks Lily will not find him. + +Lily is getting tired of looking. She wonders where Tom is. She thinks he is hiding very well. She decides to try one more place. She walks towards the big post. She sees a flash of red behind it. She smiles and runs to the post. + +"Found you, Tom!" she shouts. "I see your red shirt!" + +Tom jumps out from behind the post. He is surprised and happy. He laughs and hugs Lily. + +"You are a good seeker, Lily!" he says. "You found me!" + +Lily and Tom are both happy. They like playing hide and seek. They decide to play again. This time, Tom is the seeker and Lily is the hider. They have fun in the garden. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have a big box. They want to make a house with the box. They use crayons and stickers to design the house. They cut a door and a window. They put a blanket on top. + +"Look at our house!" Anna says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "But we need something else. We need a secret." + +"A secret? What is a secret?" Anna asks. + +"A secret is something only we know. Something special. Come, I have an idea." Ben says. + +He takes Anna's hand and leads her to the house. He opens the door and goes inside. Anna follows him. Inside the house, it is dark. Ben turns on a flashlight. He shows Anna a book. + +"This is my secret," he says. "It is a book of stories. My mom reads them to me at night. They are very fun and exciting. Do you want to hear one?" + +"Yes, please!" Anna says. She sits next to Ben. He opens the book and reads a story. Anna listens and smiles. They forget about the time. They are happy in their house with their secret. +Lily liked to help her mom cook. She liked to smell the spices and taste the food. One day, her mom was making soup with pepper. Lily wanted to try some pepper, but her mom said it was too hot for her. + +"Mom, can I have some pepper?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily, pepper is very hot. It will make your mouth hurt. You can have some mild cheese instead." Her mom said. + +Lily was curious. She wanted to know what pepper felt like. She saw a jar of pepper on the counter. She reached for it, but her mom saw her. + +"Lily, no! Don't touch the pepper!" Her mom said. + +But it was too late. Lily opened the jar and took a pinch of pepper. She put it in her mouth and chewed. She felt a burning sensation on her tongue and lips. She coughed and cried. + +"Mom, mom, it hurts! It hurts!" Lily screamed. + +Her mom ran to her and gave her a glass of water. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You should have listened to me. Pepper is not for little girls. It is for grown-ups who like hot food. Next time, follow what I say, okay?" + +Lily nodded and drank the water. She felt better, but she still had a bad taste in her mouth. She learned her lesson. She did not want to try pepper again. She liked mild cheese better. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a small house there. It is made of wood and has a door and a window. They have a key to lock the door. + +One day, they find a big basket of blueberries in the kitchen. They love blueberries. They want to take some to their house. They fill their pockets with blueberries and run to the garden. + +They open the door of their house and put the blueberries on a table. They are very happy. They want to eat some blueberries. But they hear their mom calling them. She says it is time for lunch. + +They do not want to leave their blueberries. They think someone might take them. They have an idea. They lock the door of their house with the key. They put the key in a hole in the wall. They think it is a useful place to hide it. + +They run to the kitchen. They have lunch with their mom. They eat soup and bread and cheese. They do not tell their mom about the blueberries. They want to eat them later. + +After lunch, they go back to the garden. They want to open their house and eat the blueberries. But they have a problem. They cannot find the key. They look in the hole in the wall. It is empty. They look around the garden. They do not see the key. + +They are very sad. They do not know how to open their house. They do not know who took their key. They do not know what to do with the blueberries. They sit on the grass and cry. + +They do not see the squirrel. The squirrel is on a tree. It has the key in its mouth. It likes shiny things. It saw the key in the hole and took it. It does not know what the key is for. It does not care about the blueberries. It is happy with the key. +Tom and Lily were playing soccer in the park. They wanted to win the trophy that their dad had bought for them. They kicked the ball hard and ran fast. They had fun. + +But then the sky became dark and the wind blew strong. It started to rain. Tom and Lily felt cold and wet. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted to go home. + +"Let's go, Lily," Tom said. "The rain is too much. We can play another day." + +"But what about the trophy?" Lily asked. "We did not finish the game. We have to find out who wins." + +Tom looked at the trophy. It was shiny and big. He wanted to have it. But he also wanted to be warm and dry. + +"Maybe we can delay the game," he said. "We can keep the trophy in the house and play again when the sun comes out. What do you think?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked the trophy too. But she also liked Tom. She did not want him to be unhappy. + +"Okay," she said. "We can delay the game. But we have to share the trophy until then. Deal?" + +"Deal," Tom said. He smiled and hugged Lily. They picked up the trophy and ran to the house. They were still cold and wet, but they were also happy. They had each other. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse. They pretended the dolls were their friends and made up stories for them. Sometimes they were nice to the dolls, and sometimes they were naughty. + +One night, when their parents were out, they decided to play with the dollhouse in the dark. They thought it would be more fun and scary. They lit a candle and put it in the window of the dollhouse. They moved the dolls around and made them talk in funny voices. + +"Hello, I am Mr. Smith, and this is my wife, Mrs. Smith," Tom said, holding two dolls. "We live in this cozy house with our children, Timmy and Tina." + +"Hello, I am Mrs. Jones, and this is my husband, Mr. Jones," Lily said, holding two other dolls. "We are your new neighbors, and we came to say hello." + +"How nice of you, please come in," Tom said, making the Smiths invite the Joneses inside the dollhouse. + +"Thank you, we brought you a cake," Lily said, making the Joneses give the Smiths a small plastic cake. + +"How kind of you, we love cake," Tom said, making the Smiths take the cake. + +But then, Tom had a naughty idea. He whispered to Lily, "Let's make the Joneses behave badly and scare the Smiths." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She liked naughty ideas. They made the Joneses say mean things and break things in the dollhouse. They made the Smiths cry and beg them to stop. + +"Ha ha ha, this is so fun," Tom said, laughing. + +"Yes, yes, let's make them more fearful," Lily said, giggling. + +But then, something strange happened. The candle in the window of the dollhouse flickered and went out. The room was dark and quiet. Lily and Tom felt a cold breeze on their faces. They heard a soft voice in their ears. + +"Hello, we are the ghosts, and this is our house," the voice said. "We don't like naughty children who play with our dolls. We came to say goodbye." + +Lily and Tom screamed and dropped the dolls. They ran to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. They banged on the door and called for help, but no one heard them. They were trapped in the room with the ghosts. + +They wished they had behaved better and played nicer. They learned their lesson the hard way. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make up stories and guess what would happen next. Lila had a doll and Ben had a car. They pretended they were going on a trip to the beach. + +But then they saw dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise like a drum. It was a storm. They were scared. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it's just a storm. It will pass soon. Let's go home and have some hot chocolate." + +They packed their toys and followed their mom. On the way, they saw a man with a dog. The dog was wet and shivering. The man had a sign that said, "Please help. I have no home." Lila and Ben felt sorry for the man and the dog. They asked their mom if they could give them something. + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's very kind of you. You are humble children. You can give them your toys. Maybe they will make them happy." Lila and Ben nodded. They gave their doll and their car to the man and the dog. The man thanked them and said, "You are very generous. You have made my day. God bless you." The dog wagged its tail and licked their faces. + +Lila and Ben felt warm and happy. They didn't need their toys anymore. They had each other and their mom. They went home and had hot chocolate. They watched the storm from the window and guessed when it would stop. They hoped the man and the dog would find a safe place to sleep. They prayed for them and for all the people who had no home. They thanked God for their home and their family. They were humble children. +Ben liked to play outside with his ball. He liked to kick it and throw it and catch it. Sometimes he saw bugs and animals in the grass. He liked to watch them and learn their names. + +One day, he saw a small green bug that made a loud noise. It was a cricket. Ben wanted to catch it and make it his friend. He ran after it, but it was very fast and jumped away. Ben was persistent. He did not give up. He followed the cricket all over the yard. + +"Come here, cricket!" he shouted. "I want to play with you!" + +The cricket did not listen. It kept jumping and making noise. It jumped into a bush. Ben followed it. He reached into the bush and felt something prickly. He pulled his hand back and saw a red spot. It was a rose. The rose had thorns. They hurt Ben. + +"Ow!" he cried. "That was not nice, rose!" + +He looked for the cricket, but it was gone. He heard it in another bush. He was angry. He wanted to catch it and make it stop. He ran to the other bush and reached in. He felt something soft and furry. He pulled his hand back and saw a black and white animal. It was a skunk. The skunk did not like Ben. It sprayed him with a bad smell. + +"Yuck!" he screamed. "That was not nice, skunk!" + +He ran away from the bush. He smelled very bad. He saw his mom coming out of the house. She saw him and smelled him. She was not happy. + +"Ben, what did you do?" she asked. "You stink!" + +Ben was sad. He told her about the cricket. He said he wanted to play with it, but it was too fast and too noisy. He said he followed it into the bushes, but he found a rose and a skunk instead. He said they were not nice to him. + +His mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. The cricket was not a good friend. It was a trickster. It led you into trouble. The rose and the skunk were just protecting themselves. They did not mean to hurt you. But you should not touch them. They are not for playing. Come on, let's go inside and take a bath. You need to wash off the smell and the spot." + +Ben nodded. He learned his lesson. He did not want to play with the cricket anymore. He wanted to play with his ball and his mom. They were nice to him. They were his friends. +Lily liked to look at the stars at night. She wanted to be a pilot and fly to the stars. She asked her dad, "Dad, can I be a pilot when I grow up?" + +Dad smiled and hugged her. "Of course you can, Lily. You can be anything you want to be. But you have to work hard and learn a lot." + +Lily nodded. She wanted to work hard and learn a lot. She asked, "Dad, how do the stars shine so bright?" + +Dad pointed to the sky. "The stars are very big and very hot. They make their own light and heat. They shine because they are burning." + +Lily gasped. "Burning? That sounds uncomfortable. Do they hurt?" + +Dad shook his head. "No, they don't hurt. They are happy to shine and share their light with us. They are like big candles in the sky." + +Lily smiled. She liked candles. She said, "I want to be a pilot and fly to the candles. I want to see them up close." + +Dad kissed her forehead. "Maybe one day you will, Lily. But for now, you have to sleep and dream. Tomorrow is a new day and you have a lot to learn." + +Lily yawned. She was sleepy. She said, "Good night, dad. I love you." + +Dad said, "Good night, Lily. I love you too." He tucked her in and turned off the light. He looked at the stars and wished his daughter a bright future. +Lily liked to play basketball with her big brother Tom. Tom was very good at throwing the ball into the hoop. Lily wanted to be good too, but she was too small and the ball was too heavy. Sometimes she felt sad when she missed the hoop. + +One day, Tom saw Lily sitting on the grass with the ball in her lap. He came over and asked, "What's wrong, Lily? Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily looked up and said, "I want to play, but I can't throw the ball like you. It's too hard." + +Tom smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I can help you. Throwing the ball is not the only way to play basketball. You can also pass the ball, dribble the ball, and catch the ball. Those are important skills too. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. I want to learn." + +Tom took the ball and said, "OK, let's start with passing. You stand over there and I stand here. I will throw the ball to you and you catch it. Then you throw it back to me. Ready?" + +Lily said, "Ready!" and ran to her spot. Tom threw the ball gently to her and she caught it with both hands. She felt happy and proud. She threw the ball back to Tom and he caught it too. They did this for a while and had fun. + +Lily learned how to pass the ball, dribble the ball, and catch the ball with Tom's help. She felt more confident and happy. She thanked Tom for helping her and said, "You are a good brother and a good teacher. I like playing basketball with you." + +Tom hugged her and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good sister and a good learner. I like playing basketball with you too." +Lily was a lazy girl. She did not like to help her mom and dad with anything. She only liked to play with her toys and watch TV. She did not like to eat healthy food, like potatoes and carrots. She only liked to eat candy and chips. + +One day, her mom and dad had to go to the store. They told Lily to stay at home and be good. They said they would be back soon. They left some potatoes and carrots on the table for Lily to eat. They also left a note that said: "Do not touch the cookies in the jar. They are for later." + +Lily did not listen to her mom and dad. She did not eat the potatoes and carrots. She only wanted the cookies in the jar. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. But the jar was too heavy and slippery. It fell from her hand and broke on the floor. The cookies scattered everywhere. Lily was scared and sad. She wanted to eat the cookies, but she also did not want to get in trouble. + +She heard a noise outside. She thought it was her mom and dad coming back. She did not know what to do. She decided to crawl under the table and hide. She hoped they would not see the mess. + +But it was not her mom and dad. It was a big, hungry dog. The dog smelled the cookies on the floor. He ran into the house and started to eat them. He saw Lily under the table. He barked and growled at her. He wanted to eat her too. + +Lily was very afraid. She cried and screamed. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. She wished she had eaten the potatoes and carrots. She wished she had not been so lazy. + +Her mom and dad heard her cry. They came back and saw the dog and the mess. They chased the dog away and hugged Lily. They were angry and worried. They asked her what happened. Lily told them the truth. She said she was sorry. She said she learned her lesson. + +Her mom and dad forgave her. They cleaned up the mess and gave her some potatoes and carrots. They said they were glad she was safe. They said they loved her. They said they hoped she would not be so lazy again. + +Lily said she loved them too. She said she would not be so lazy again. She said she would help them with anything.

His mom works at a farm where they have many cows. The cows give milk every day. Mom puts the milk in big bottles and takes them to the truck. The truck goes to the town and delivers the bottles to the shops and the houses. + +One day, Tom asks his mom if he can go with her to the truck. Mom says yes, but he has to be careful and listen to her. Tom is very happy and puts on his hat and his boots. He follows his mom to the barn where the cows are. He sees the bottles filled with white milk. He helps his mom carry some of the bottles to the truck. The truck driver smiles and says hello to Tom. + +Tom climbs into the truck with his mom. He sits on a seat with a belt. He feels comfortable and safe. The truck starts to move and makes a loud noise. Tom looks out the window and sees the trees and the fields and the animals. He likes to see new things. He asks his mom many questions and she answers him. + +The truck stops at a shop. The truck driver and Tom's mom get out and take some bottles to the shop. Tom stays in the truck and waits for them. He sees a girl and a boy who come out of the shop with their mom. They see the truck and the bottles and they wave to Tom. Tom waves back and smiles. He thinks they are nice. + +The truck goes to many more places and delivers many more bottles. Tom helps his mom every time. He feels tired but happy. He likes to help his mom and to see new people.

He is comfortable and warm. He is happy. +Lila was sad. She had a big boo-boo on her knee. She fell down when she was playing with her bike. It hurt a lot and it was red and wet. She cried and cried. + +Mommy came and saw Lila. She hugged her and said, "It's okay, my love. I will help you." She took Lila inside and washed her boo-boo. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. She comforted Lila and made her feel better. + +Lila stopped crying and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. You are the best." Mommy said, "You are welcome, Lila. You are very brave." She gave her a cookie and some juice. + +Lila sat on the couch and ate her cookie. She saw a little ant on the floor. It was black and shiny. It was walking very fast. Lila was curious. She put down her cookie and followed the ant. + +The ant went under the table and into a hole. Lila peeked into the hole. She saw many more ants. They were all different. Some were big, some were small, some had wings, some had no wings. They were all busy. They were carrying food and making a home. + +Lila thought the ants were amazing. She said, "Wow, look at them. They are so different, but they work together. They are like a family." She felt happy. She decided to leave the ants alone and let them do their thing. She went back to the couch and finished her cookie and juice. She said, "Mommy, I saw some ants. They were cool." Mommy said, "That's nice, Lila. I'm glad you like them. Ants are very smart and strong." Lila nodded and said, "Yes, they are. And they are also very cute." Mommy laughed and said, "Yes, they are. Just like you." She hugged Lila and said, "I love you, Lila." Lila said, "I love you, Mommy." They cuddled on the couch and watched a show. Lila felt happy and cozy. She forgot about her boo-boo. She had a good day. +Anna liked to play the drum. She had a big drum that made loud sounds when she hit it with her sticks. She liked to make up her own rhythm, like boom-boom-tap or tap-tap-boom. She felt happy when she played the drum. + +One day, she wanted to play the drum in the garden. She asked her mom if she could take the drum outside. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful and not make too much noise. Anna said okay and carried the drum to the garden. She put it on the grass and started to play. + +She played a cheerful rhythm, like boom-tap-boom-tap. She smiled and sang along. She did not notice that a cat was watching her from behind a bush. The cat did not like the loud drum. The cat wanted to escape from the noise. The cat jumped out of the bush and ran towards Anna. + +Anna saw the cat and stopped playing. She was scared. The cat looked angry and had big claws. She did not know what to do. She said, "Mom, help! There is a cat!" + +Her mom heard her and came to the garden. She saw the cat and shooed it away. She said, "Don't worry, Anna. The cat is gone. It was just scared of the drum. Are you okay?" + +Anna nodded and hugged her mom. She said, "I'm okay, mom. Thank you. Can I play the drum again?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But maybe you can play a softer rhythm, like tap-tap-tap. The cat might like that better." + +Anna said, "Okay, mom. I will try that." She picked up her sticks and played a softer rhythm, like tap-tap-tap. She still felt happy when she played the drum. +Lila and Tom were playing in the yard. They found a big box behind the shed. They opened the box and saw many things inside. Some things were shiny, some things were soft, some things were weird. + +"What is this?" Lila asked, holding a rag. The rag was old and dirty, but it had a glow. The glow was green and blue and purple. + +"I don't know," Tom said, "but it looks cool. Can I see it?" + +Lila gave the rag to Tom. He touched it and felt a tickle. He laughed and waved it in the air. The glow made shapes and colors. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Tom said. + +But then, they heard a growl. They turned around and saw a big dog. The dog was angry and hungry. It saw the rag and wanted it. It barked and ran towards Tom. + +"Help!" Tom shouted, dropping the rag. He and Lila ran away from the dog. They hid behind the shed. + +The dog picked up the rag and bit it. But the rag was not food. It was weird. It made the dog feel sick. It made the dog glow too. The dog spit out the rag and whimpered. It ran away from the box. + +Lila and Tom peeked out from the shed. They saw the rag and the dog. They were both glowing. + +"That was scary," Lila said. + +"Yes, it was," Tom said. "But look, the rag is still cool. Do you want to play with it again?" + +Lila nodded. She and Tom went back to the box. They picked up the rag and other things. They played with them until it was dark. The glow made them happy. +Sara and Tom were making a cake with Mom. They liked to help Mom in the kitchen. They took turns to stir the batter with a big spoon. The batter was yellow and sweet. + +"Can I stir some more, Mom?" Sara asked. + +"No, Sara, it's Tom's turn now. You have to share," Mom said. + +"But I want to stir more!" Sara said. She grabbed the spoon from Tom and stirred hard. The batter splashed out of the bowl and landed on the floor. + +"Oh no, Sara, look what you did!" Mom said. "You made a mess and you were not nice to Tom. You have to say sorry and help me clean up." + +Sara felt bad. She saw Tom's sad face and the yellow batter on the floor. She did not like to make Tom sad or Mom angry.

But he also liked to eat. He saw the yellow batter on the floor and licked it with his tongue. He made a funny face and spat it out. He did not like the yellow batter. He ran away. + +Sara, Tom and Mom laughed. They said, "Silly Fluffy, that's not for you. That's for our cake. We will bake it in the oven and eat it later. It will be yummy and we will share it with you." + +The end. +Tim and Ben were playing cowboys and robbers in the backyard. Tim had a hat and a pistol, and Ben had a scarf and a stick.

Ben said, waving his stick. + +"Yes, you are, I got you, Ben!" Tim insisted, running after Ben. + +"No, you didn't, Tim!" Ben argued, hiding behind a rock. + +They kept playing like this for a while, until Tim got tired and bored. He wanted to play something else, but Ben didn't. + +"Ben, let's quit this game, it's boring," Tim said, throwing his pistol on the ground. + +"No, Tim, let's keep playing, it's fun," Ben said, picking up the pistol. + +"Ben, give me back my pistol, it's mine," Tim said, reaching for the pistol. + +"No, Tim, it's mine now, you quit the game," Ben said, holding the pistol away from Tim. + +They started to pull and tug on the pistol, making it rough. They both wanted the pistol, and they both got angry. + +"Ben, stop it, you're hurting me!" Tim cried, feeling the pistol scratch his hand. + +"Tim, stop it, you're hurting me!" Ben cried, feeling the pistol hit his head. + +They both let go of the pistol, and it fell on the grass. They both looked at each other, and saw that they had made each other sad and sore.

They picked up the pistol, and put it away. They agreed to share it next time, and to play nicely. They were friends again, and they were happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big house on the hill. It looked old and scary. + +"Who lives there?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a witch," Ben said. + +"A witch? What is a witch?" Anna said. + +"A witch is a bad lady who does magic. She has a black hat and a broom. She can turn you into a frog or a mouse," Ben said. + +Anna felt scared. She did not want to be a frog or a mouse. + +"Let's go away from here. I don't like the witch house," Anna said. + +They ran back to their mom and dad. They told them about the house on the hill. + +"Did you see a witch?" Mom asked. + +"No, we did not see her. But Ben said she lives there," Anna said. + +"Ben, where did you hear that?" Dad asked. + +"I don't know. I just heard someone mention it," Ben said. + +Mom and dad smiled. They knew there was no witch in the house. It was just an old lady who liked to read books and bake cookies. + +"Maybe we can visit her someday. She might be lonely and need some friends," Mom said. + +"Really? Can we?" Anna and Ben said. + +"Sure, why not? But only if she invites us. And only if you are nice and polite," Dad said. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They were curious about the lady in the house. Maybe she was not so bad after all. Maybe she would share her cookies with them. Maybe she would tell them stories. Maybe she would teach them some magic. But they did not say that out loud. They did not want to mention the witch again. +Lily liked to look at the stars. She had a book with pictures of the planets. She wanted to see them for real. Her dad said he would take her to the big museum with the big telescope. She was very happy. + +But the next day, it rained a lot. Lily's dad said they had to delay their trip. He said the rain made the roads wet and slippery. He said they had to be safe. Lily was very sad. She wanted to see the planets. + +She went to her room and looked at her book. She saw a picture of a planet with rings. It was called Saturn. She liked Saturn. She wished she could see it. She put the book under her pillow and went to sleep. + +That night, she had a dream. She was in a spaceship. She flew past the moon and the stars. She saw the planets. She saw Saturn. It was big and beautiful. She wanted to touch it. She opened the window of the spaceship. She reached out her hand. + +But then, she woke up. She heard a loud noise. She saw a bright light. She felt a cold breeze. She looked around. She was still in her room. But the window was open. And on her bed, there was a rock. A shiny rock with a ring. It was a piece of Saturn. It had fallen from the sky. It had landed on her pillow. It had made her dream come true. + +Lily was very happy. She hugged the rock. She thanked the stars. She ran to her dad. She showed him the rock. She told him her dream. He was very surprised. He was very proud. He said it was a miracle. He said it was a gift. He said they would still go to the museum. But first, they would go to the news. They had a story to tell. A story of a girl and a planet. A story of a delay and a dream. A story of an open window and a wonder. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they have a quiz at school. The quiz is about animals. Tom and Mia love animals. They study hard for the quiz. + +At school, the teacher gives them the quiz. Tom and Mia read the questions and write the answers. They know the names of many animals. They also know what they eat and where they live. They finish the quiz fast. + +The teacher checks the quiz. She smiles and says, "Tom and Mia, you did very well on the quiz. You know a lot about animals. You are very smart." + +Tom and Mia are happy. They high-five each other. They say, "Thank you, teacher. We like to learn about animals. They are powerful and fun." + +The teacher says, "You are welcome. Do you want to show the class some of your favorite animals?" + +Tom and Mia say, "Yes, please." They go to the front of the class. They show the class their animal books. They point to the pictures and say the names of the animals. They also tell the class some facts about the animals. The class listens and claps. They like Tom and Mia's animal show. +Lily loved to bounce. She bounced on her bed, on the sofa, on the trampoline. She bounced everywhere she could. She liked to bounce so high that she could touch the sky. + +One day, she found a big, brilliant ball in the park. It was red and shiny and round. She wanted to bounce it and see how high it would go. She picked it up and ran to a clear space. She threw the ball as hard as she could and watched it soar. + +But the ball bounced too high and too far. It went over the fence and into the road. Lily ran after it, not looking where she was going. She did not see the car coming. The car honked and braked, but it was too late. It hit the ball and the ball popped. Lily was very lucky. She was not hurt, but she was very scared. + +She started to cry. She wanted her ball back. She wanted her mom. She felt a hand on her shoulder. It was a nice lady who saw what happened. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't cry, sweetie. It's okay. The ball is just a thing. You are more important. You have to be careful when you cross the road. You have to look both ways and hold someone's hand. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She understood. She was sorry for being silly. She thanked the lady and held her thumb. She walked back to the park with her. She saw her mom waiting for her. She ran to her and hugged her. She told her what happened and said she was sorry. Her mom kissed her and said, "I'm glad you're okay, Lily. I love you. Bouncing is fun, but safety is more important. Next time, be more careful, okay?" + +Lily said okay. She learned her lesson. She still loved to bounce, but she never chased a ball into the road again. She always looked both ways and held someone's hand. She was a good girl. She was happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big iron train that their dad gave them. The train was shiny and made loud noises when it moved. Ben and Lily liked to pretend they were the drivers and passengers of the train. + +One day, they decided to play with the train in the living room, where there was a lot of space. They set up the tracks on the floor and put the train on them. They took turns to push the train and make it go faster and slower. They had a lot of fun. + +"Look, Lily, I can make the train stretch!" Ben said, as he pulled the train apart. The train had a cord that connected the engine and the cars. Ben thought it was funny to see how long the cord could get. + +"Stop it, Ben, you will break the train!" Lily said, as she tried to stop him. She loved the train and did not want it to get hurt. She was afraid that the cord would snap and the train would fall apart. + +"No, I won't, it's fun!" Ben said, as he pulled harder. He did not listen to Lily. He wanted to see how far he could stretch the train. + +But then, something bad happened. The cord broke with a loud snap. The train fell off the tracks and hit the floor. The engine and the cars were separated and some of them cracked. The train did not make any noises anymore. It was broken. + +Ben and Lily stared at the train in shock. They felt sad and scared. They knew they had done something wrong. They knew their dad would be angry. They knew they had lost their favorite toy. They wished they had not played with the train in the living room. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had not stretched the train. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Sam says. "Maybe we can find a treasure or a dragon!" + +Tom is not sure. He is anxious. He thinks the hill is too high and too steep. He thinks there might be something scary or dangerous on the other side. + +"Sam, I don't want to go," Tom says. "I want to stay here and play with the ball." + +Sam is mad. He thinks Tom is a baby. He wants to have fun and be brave. + +"Fine, Tom. You can stay here and be a baby. I will go and be a hero. Bye, Tom!" Sam says. He marches up the hill, leaving Tom behind. + +Tom feels sad and alone. He watches Sam go up and up and up. He hopes Sam will be okay. He hopes Sam will come back soon. + +But Sam does not come back. Tom waits and waits and waits. He hears a loud roar. He sees a big shadow. He sees Sam running and screaming. He sees a big monster with sharp teeth and claws. The monster catches Sam and eats him. + +Tom is scared and sad. He cries and cries and cries. He wishes he had gone with Sam. He wishes he had helped Sam. He wishes he had a big brain to think of a way to save Sam. He wishes he had a big friend to protect him. He wishes he had a big hug to make him feel better. + +But he has none of these things. He has only a ball and a hill and a monster. He has only a bad ending. +Tim and Jen were twins who loved to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him two sticks for arms and three buttons for eyes and a mouth. + +"Look, our snowman is smiling!" Jen said. "He is happy to be our friend." + +"Let's go and find some reindeer to play with him," Tim said. "Maybe they will come and pull us on a sled." + +They put on their coats and boots and mittens and ran to the forest. They saw many trees and birds and squirrels, but no reindeer. + +"Where are the reindeer?" Jen asked. "I want to see them and touch them and feed them." + +"Maybe they are hiding," Tim said. "Let's make some noise and they will come out." + +They started to shout and clap and stomp their feet. They did not see the sign that said "Do not disturb the reindeer. They are resting for Christmas." + +Soon, they heard a loud snort and a hoof. A big reindeer came out of the bushes. He had a shiny red nose and big antlers. He looked angry. + +"Who are you?" he asked. "Why are you making so much noise? Don't you know I am Rudolph, the leader of Santa's reindeer? I need to sleep and get ready for the big night." + +Tim and Jen were scared. They had been careless and disturbed the reindeer. They did not know he was so important. + +"We are sorry, Rudolph," they said. "We did not mean to bother you. We just wanted to play with you and your friends." + +Rudolph looked at them and saw they were sorry. He also saw their snowman in the distance. He felt sorry for them too. + +"Well, I suppose you are not so bad," he said. "But you have to be quiet and respectful. The other reindeer are sleeping too. If you want, you can come and meet them. But only for a little while. Then you have to go back to your home and wait for Santa." + +Tim and Jen nodded. They were happy and excited. They followed Rudolph to the clearing where the other reindeer were. They saw Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen and Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. They were all beautiful and gentle. They let Tim and Jen pet them and feed them some carrots. + +Tim and Jen had a wonderful time with the reindeer. They thanked Rudolph for letting them come. They promised to be good and quiet and not disturb them again. + +They ran back to their snowman and gave him a hug. They told him all about their adventure. They hoped he would not be lonely. + +They went back to their home and told their mom and dad about the reindeer. They did not believe them at first, but then they saw the carrots in their pockets and the red nose hairs on their mittens. + +They smiled and hugged them and said they were very lucky. They said they had to go to bed early and wait for Santa. + +Tim and Jen went to bed and dreamed of the reindeer. They hoped they would see them again. They did not know that Rudolph had a surprise for them. He had told Santa about them and asked him to bring them a special gift. A gift that would make them and their snowman very happy. A gift that would let them play with the reindeer all year long. A gift that was a sled. +Anna liked to cook with her mom. She helped her mom cut the pepper and put it in the pot. The pepper was red and shiny and smelled good. Anna wanted to taste it, but her mom said no. "It is too hot for you, Anna. It will make your mouth hurt." + +Anna was curious. She waited until her mom was busy with something else. She took a small piece of pepper and put it in her mouth. She bit it and felt a fire in her tongue. She spit it out and cried. "Ow, ow, ow! Mom, help!" + +Her mom heard her and ran to her. She saw the pepper on the floor and understood what happened. She gave Anna a glass of water and a hug. "I'm sorry, Anna. You should have listened to me. The pepper is not for you. It is for the famous soup we are making for dad. He likes it very spicy, but you don't. Next time, please stop and ask me before you try something new." + +Anna nodded and drank the water. She felt better. She said sorry to her mom and gave her a kiss. She learned her lesson. She did not want to eat pepper again. She helped her mom finish the soup and waited for dad to come home. She hoped he would like the famous soup and be proud of her and her mom. +Lila and her mom were going to visit grandma. They packed a bag with clothes, toys and snacks. They walked to the big road and waited for a taxi. Lila liked to see the cars zoom by. She saw a yellow taxi with a sign on top. She pointed and said, "Look, mom, a taxi!" + +Mom waved her hand and the taxi stopped. They got in and said hello to the driver. He was a charming man with a big smile. He asked them where they were going and started the meter. Lila sat on mom's lap and looked out the window. She saw many things: shops, trees, people, dogs, birds. + +The taxi drove for a long time. Lila got bored and sleepy. She yawned and closed her eyes. Mom hugged her and sang a soft song. The taxi arrived at grandma's house. The driver helped them with the bag and said goodbye. Mom paid him and thanked him. They rang the bell and grandma opened the door. She was very happy to see them. She gave them big hugs and kisses. + +Grandma invited them inside. She had made cookies and milk for them. Lila and mom ate some and told grandma about their trip. Grandma said, "You must be tired. Why don't you bathe and rest for a while?" Lila nodded. She liked to bathe in grandma's tub. It was big and had bubbles and toys. Mom helped her wash her hair and body. Lila splashed and played with the rubber duck. She felt clean and warm. + +Mom dried her with a fluffy towel and put on her pajamas. She tucked her in the guest bed and read her a story. Lila snuggled with her teddy bear and listened. She felt cozy and happy. She said, "I love you, mom. I love you, grandma." Mom and grandma said, "We love you, too, Lila." They kissed her goodnight and turned off the light. Lila fell asleep and dreamed of the taxi and the cookies and the bubbles. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a shiny penny on the street. They were very happy and ran to the candy store to buy some sweets. + +"Can we have two lollipops, please?" Tim asked the store lady. + +"Sorry, boys, but one penny is not enough for two lollipops. You need two pennies for that," the store lady said. + +Tim and Sam were sad. They did not want to share one lollipop. They wanted to have one each. + +"Maybe we can find another penny somewhere," Sam said. + +They looked around the street, but they could not find any more pennies. They saw a man playing a guitar and singing a jolly song. He had a hat with some coins in it. + +"Maybe we can ask him for a penny," Tim said. + +They walked to the man and said hello. + +"Hello, boys, do you like my song?" the man asked. + +"Yes, it is very nice," Sam said. + +"Can we have a penny, please?" Tim asked. + +The man smiled and said, "A penny for a song? That sounds fair. But you have to sing with me, okay?" + +Tim and Sam agreed. They sang with the man and had fun. The man gave them each a penny and said, "You have good voices, boys. You should keep singing and improve your skills. Maybe one day, you will be famous singers and make lots of money." + +Tim and Sam thanked the man and ran back to the candy store. They bought two lollipops and enjoyed them. They learned that singing can make them happy and earn them money. They decided to practice singing every day and improve their talents. They also learned to be grateful for what they have and to share with others. They became jolly and generous boys. +Sam was a boy who liked to balance. He could balance on one foot, on a chair, on a bike, and even on a wall. He thought he was very good at balancing and he wanted to show everyone. + +One day, he saw his dad doing his job. His dad was a builder who made houses. He used big tools and wood and bricks. Sam wanted to help his dad, but his dad said it was too dangerous. He told Sam to stay away from the tools and the wood and the bricks. + +But Sam did not listen. He wanted to balance on the wood and the bricks. He thought it would be fun and easy. He waited until his dad was busy and then he ran to the pile of wood and bricks. He climbed on top of them and tried to balance. + +But the wood and the bricks were not stable. They moved and wobbled and fell. Sam lost his balance and fell too. He hit his head on the ground and started to cry. His dad heard him and ran to him. He was very angry and worried. He picked up Sam and took him to the car. He drove him to the doctor very fast. + +The doctor looked at Sam's head and said he had a big bump. He gave him some medicine and a bandage. He told Sam to rest and be careful. He told Sam's dad to watch him and not let him balance on dangerous things. + +Sam was sorry and sad. He learned his lesson. He learned that balancing was not always fun and easy. He learned that he should listen to his dad and not do his job. He learned that some things are too dangerous for him to balance on. He learned that he should be safe and smart. He learned that balancing was not worth getting hurt. +Lily loved to spring. She liked to spring on her bed, on the sofa, and on the grass. She liked to spring high and low, fast and slow. She liked to spring with her dog, her doll, and her dad. She liked to spring every day. + +One day, Lily's dad told her they were going on a trip. He showed her a book with her picture and his picture. He said it was a passport. He said they needed it to go to a distant place. A place far away from their home. A place with different people, animals, and things. Lily was curious and excited. She wanted to see the distant place. She wanted to spring there too. + +They packed their bags and went to the airport. They gave their passports to a lady. She looked at them and smiled. She said they could go on the plane. They walked to the plane and found their seats. Lily looked out the window. She saw the sky, the clouds, and the birds. She wondered what the distant place would look like. + +The plane took off and flew for a long time. Lily fell asleep on her dad's lap. She dreamed of the distant place. She dreamed of springing on the sand, on the snow, and on the water. She dreamed of springing with a camel, a penguin, and a fish.

They wear their shoes and hats and go to the park. They see many things on the way: cars, birds, flowers, dogs. + +One day, they see a big dog with black fur and sharp teeth.

The dog feels the stones and gets angry. He turns and looks at Sam and Mia. + +"Run, Sam, run!" Mia says. They run away from the dog. The dog chases them. He is fast. + +Sam and Mia see a fence. They climb over the fence and get to the other side. The dog cannot climb. He pokes his nose through the fence and growls. + +"Ha, ha, silly dog!" Sam says. He pokes his tongue at the dog.

It is brown and has a lid. + +"Look, a box!" Lily says. "What is inside?" + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Let's open it and see." + +They run to the box and lift the lid. Inside, they see many things. There are books, balls, dolls, cars, and puzzles. They are colorful and shiny. + +"Wow, so many toys!" Lily says. "They are good and pretty. Can we play with them?" + +"Yes, we can," Tom says. "But we have to share. And we have to be careful. Maybe someone lost them." + +They take out the toys and play with them. They read the books, bounce the balls, hug the dolls, drive the cars, and solve the puzzles. They have fun and laugh. + +After a while, they hear a voice. It is a man. He is looking for something. + +"Hello, kids," he says. "Have you seen my box? I left it here by mistake. It has my toys for the children's hospital.

He shows them a big box with a picture of a phone on it. He says if they buy the phone, they can get the doll and the truck for free. Jill and Tom are curious. They ask Mom if they can see the phone. + +Mom says yes. The man opens the box and takes out the phone. It is a shiny red phone with buttons and a cord. He says it is a magic phone. He says if they press the buttons, they can hear different sounds. He presses a button and the phone rings. Jill and Tom are amazed. They want to try it. + +They take turns pressing the buttons.

I am mean and big. No one likes me." +Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore new things. One day, she saw a big box in the living room. She wondered what was inside. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is in the box?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "It is a surprise for you, Lily. You can open it later, after dinner." + +Lily was very excited. She waited patiently until dinner was over. Then, she ran to the box and opened it. She gasped when she saw what was inside. It was a beautiful doll with long hair and a pink dress. She also had a tiny tea set and a teddy bear. + +Lily hugged the doll and said, "Thank you, mom! She is so pretty! What is her name?" + +Her mom said, "You can name her whatever you like, Lily. She is your new friend." + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "I will name her Rose. She looks like a rose." + +Lily and Rose played together for a long time. They had a tea party with the teddy bear. They combed each other's hair. They sang songs and told stories. Lily enjoyed her surprise very much. She was happy to have a new friend. She gave her mom a big kiss and said, "I love you, mom. You are the best!" +Anna and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and beep. But then, one of Ben's cars broke. The wheel came off and rolled away. + +"Oh no!" Ben cried. "My car is broken! I can't play anymore!" + +Anna saw Ben was sad. She wanted to help him. She had an idea. + +"Maybe we can fix it!" she said. "We can use some glue and tape and make it good again!" + +She ran to the shed and found some glue and tape. She brought them to Ben and showed him. + +"Look, Ben! We can fix your car with these! Let's try!" + +They put some glue on the wheel and the car. They pressed them together and wrapped some tape around them. They waited for a while until the glue was dry. + +"Is it fixed?" Ben asked. + +Anna lifted the car and rubbed the tape. She smiled. + +"Yes, it is! See? It looks like new! Let's test it!" + +They put the car on the ground and pushed it. It zoomed and crashed and beeped like before. + +"Wow!" Ben exclaimed. "It works! You are incredible, Anna! Thank you for fixing my car!" + +Anna hugged Ben. She was happy. + +"You're welcome, Ben! I'm glad you can play again! You are my best friend!" + +They laughed and played with their cars until it was time to go inside. They had a lot of fun. They learned that they could fix things with glue and tape. And they learned that they could help each other. They were incredible friends. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to help their mom in the kitchen. Today, mom is making a meal with chicken, rice and carrots. She gives Tom and Lily a knife and a cutting board each. She tells them to cut the carrots into small pieces. + +Tom and Lily are happy to cut the carrots. They try to make them the same size. They like the yellow color of the carrots. They talk to each other while they cut. + +"Look, Lily, I made a triangle with my carrot," Tom says. + +"That's nice, Tom. I made a circle with mine," Lily says. + +"Can you make a square, Lily?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know, Tom. How do you make a square?" Lily asks. + +Mom hears them and smiles. She is proud of Tom and Lily. She shows them how to make a square with four equal sides. Tom and Lily try to make squares with their carrots. They have fun learning new shapes. + +When they finish cutting the carrots, mom puts them in a pot with water and salt. She adds the chicken and the rice. She stirs everything and lets it cook. She tells Tom and Lily to wash their hands and set the table. + +Tom and Lily do as mom says. They wash their hands and dry them with a towel. They take plates, forks, spoons and napkins from the cupboard. They put them on the table. They also take a big bowl and a ladle. They are ready for the meal. + +Mom brings the pot to the table. She fills the bowl with the chicken, rice and carrots. She tells Tom and Lily to sit down and say thank you. Tom and Lily sit down and say thank you. They smell the yummy meal. They are hungry and excited. They take some food from the bowl and put it on their plates. They use their forks and spoons to eat. They enjoy the meal. They tell mom how good it is. + +Mom is happy to see Tom and Lily eat. She eats with them and tells them stories. They laugh and talk. They have a good time. They love mom and mom loves them. They are a happy family. +Tom and Anna like to play with toys. They have many toys, but they want more. One day, they see a big tank in the park. The tank is green and has a long gun. Tom and Anna think the tank is cool. + +"Can we borrow the tank?" Tom asks Anna. + +"Yes, let's borrow the tank. No one is using it," Anna says. + +They climb on the tank and pretend to drive it. They make loud noises and shoot the gun. They have fun. + +But the tank is not a toy. The tank is a real tank. It belongs to the army. The army is not happy. The army is angry. The army comes to the park and sees Tom and Anna on the tank. + +"Hey, you kids! Get off the tank! That's not yours!" a soldier shouts. + +Tom and Anna are scared. They try to get off the tank, but they don't know how. The tank is too high and too heavy. They are stuck. + +The soldier is not compassionate. The soldier is mean. The soldier grabs Tom and Anna and pulls them off the tank. He yells at them and scolds them. He takes them to the police. He tells the police that Tom and Anna are bad kids. He tells the police that Tom and Anna stole the tank. + +Tom and Anna cry. They are sorry. They didn't mean to steal the tank. They just wanted to borrow the tank. They just wanted to play. But the police don't listen. The police don't care. The police lock Tom and Anna in a small room. They call their parents. They tell their parents that Tom and Anna are in trouble. + +Tom and Anna are sad. They miss their toys. They miss their home. They miss their parents. They wish they never borrowed the tank. They wish they never went to the park. They wish they never played with the tank. They wish they played with something else. They wish they played with something safe. They wish they played with something nice. They wish they played with something compassionate. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite was the hippo. The hippo was big and gray, and had a huge mouth. He liked to swim in the water and splash with his friends. + +"Can we feed the hippo, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sorry, honey, we can't. The hippo has his own food, and we don't want to make him sick," mom said. + +"But he looks hungry, mom. Look, he is opening his mouth," Lily said. + +"That's because he is nosy, Lily. He wants to see what we are doing. He is curious, like you," mom said. + +Ben and Lily giggled. They wanted to see the hippo better, so they knelt on the ground and leaned over the fence. They waved at the hippo and said hello. + +The hippo saw them and swam closer. He opened his mouth again and made a loud noise. Ben and Lily were scared and jumped back. + +"Wow, he is loud, mom. What did he say?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe he said hello back, or maybe he said go away. He is not very polite, is he?" mom said. + +"Maybe he is lonely, mom. Maybe he wants a friend," Lily said. + +"Maybe, Lily. But we can't be his friends. He is too big and too wild. We have to respect him and his space. Come on, let's go see the other animals," mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said goodbye to the hippo and followed their mom. They still liked the hippo, but they also liked the other animals. They had a fun day at the zoo. +A furry cat was walking on the street. He saw a big human with a bag. The human looked at the cat and smiled. The cat was curious and went closer to the human. + +"Hello, little cat. Do you want to come with me?" the human said. He opened his bag and showed the cat some food and toys. The cat liked the food and toys. He nodded his head and jumped into the bag. + +The human closed the bag and walked away. The cat was happy and ate some food. He played with a toy mouse. He did not know where the human was taking him. + +After a while, the human stopped and opened the bag. The cat saw a dark and scary place. There were many cages with other animals. The animals looked sad and scared. They made loud noises. + +The human took the cat out of the bag and put him in a cage. He locked the cage and left. The cat was confused and afraid. He tried to get out of the cage, but he could not. He saw the human stare at him with a mean look. The human did not smile anymore. + +The cat realized he made a big mistake. He wished he never went with the human. He wished he stayed on the street. He wished he was free. He cried and cried, but no one helped him. He was trapped and alone. He had a bad ending. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in the sky. The bird has black and white feathers and a long beak. It makes a loud sound. + +"Wow, look at that bird!" Anna says. "It can fly so high and fast!" + +Ben nods. He likes the bird too. He has a question. He asks Anna, "How can the bird fly? Does it have magic?" + +Anna thinks. She does not know the answer. She says, "I don't know. Maybe it has strong wings. Or maybe it has a lot of air in its body." + +Ben is not satisfied. He wants to know more. He says, "But how does it use its wings? And how does it get air in its body?" + +Anna shrugs. She says, "I don't know. Maybe we can ask someone who knows. Like a teacher or a parent." + +Ben agrees. He says, "OK, let's do that. Maybe they can tell us how the bird can fly." + +They run to the bench where their parents are sitting. They have a tough question for them. They hope they can get a good answer. They want to learn more about the bird and how it can fly. +Lily was a little girl who liked to receive presents. She always wanted more and more toys, books, and clothes. She did not like to share with her brother Tom or her friends. She was selfish. + +One day, it was Lily's birthday. She was very happy because she knew she would receive many presents. She opened them one by one and smiled. She had a doll, a puzzle, a dress, and a bike. She hugged them all and said, "Mine, mine, mine!" + +Tom and her friends came to wish her happy birthday and play with her. But Lily did not let them touch her presents. She said, "No, no, no! These are mine! Go away!" Tom and her friends felt sad and angry. They did not want to play with Lily anymore. They left her alone with her presents. + +Lily felt lonely and bored. She looked at her presents and realized they were not fun without someone to share them with. She wished she had been nicer to Tom and her friends. She wished she had not been selfish. + +She ran after them and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please come back and play with me! You can have some of my presents! I don't need them all!" Tom and her friends heard her and saw that she was sorry. They forgave her and came back. They played with her and her presents. They had a lot of fun. Lily learned to share and be kind. She was not selfish anymore. +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to walk and sing. They walk to the park and sing a song. The song is about birds and trees and sun. + +They see a big slide in the park. They want to play on the slide. They run to the slide and wait for their turn. There are other kids on the slide. Some kids are nice and some kids are mean. + +A mean kid pushes Tim and Sue. He says, "This is my slide. Go away. You can't play here." Tim and Sue are sad and scared. They say, "That is not fair. We want to play too. Please be nice." + +The mean kid does not listen. He pushes them again. He says, "No. You are too small and too silly. I don't like your song. It is a bad song. Go away or I will hit you." + +Tim and Sue are very sad and very scared. They run away from the slide. They cry and hug each other. They don't want to walk and sing anymore. They want to go home. They have a bad day. The end. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toy boats in the bathtub. They make waves and splash each other. They have fun. + +But then, Ben sees the drain. He wants to see what happens if he puts his boat near it. He thinks it will be easy to get it back. + +"Look, Lily, I can make my boat go to the drain!" he says. + +"No, Ben, don't do that!" Lily says. "The drain will suck your boat and you will lose it!" + +But Ben does not listen. He pushes his boat closer and closer to the drain. He laughs. + +Suddenly, the boat is gone. The drain makes a loud noise. Ben is shocked. He tries to reach for his boat, but it is too late. + +"Ben, I told you not to do that!" Lily says. "Now your boat is gone and you can't play with it anymore!" + +Ben starts to cry. He is sad and angry. He wishes he had listened to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I was silly," he says. "Can I play with your boat, please?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She is mad at Ben, but she also feels sorry for him. She loves her boat, but she loves her brother more. + +"Okay, Ben, you can play with my boat, but be careful," she says. "Don't put it near the drain, or it will go too." + +Ben nods. He hugs Lily and says thank you. He plays with her boat gently. He learns his lesson. + +They play together until their mom comes and tells them to get out of the bathtub. They dry themselves and put their toys away. They are happy. +Ben was a big boy who liked to run and play. He was not careful when he ran and he often stumbled and fell. He did not listen to his mom and dad who told him to slow down and watch where he was going. + +One day, he was running in the park with his friend Lily. He saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. He ran very fast and did not see a rock on the ground. He stumbled on the rock and fell hard. He hurt his knee and it was bleeding. He cried and cried. + +Lily ran to him and tried to help him. She said, "Don't cry, Ben. It will be okay. Let's go to the nurse and she will make it better." She took his hand and led him to the nurse's office in the park. + +The nurse was a kind lady who smiled at Ben. She said, "What happened, Ben? Did you stumble and hurt your knee?" She cleaned his wound and put a band-aid on it. She gave him a lollipop and a hug. She said, "You are very brave, Ben. But you should be more careful when you run and play. You don't want to stumble and hurt yourself again, do you?" + +Ben nodded and said, "No, I don't. Thank you, nurse. You are very nice." He felt better and smiled. He said to Lily, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You are very thoughtful." He gave her a hug and they went back to play. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful when you run and play and listen to your parents. If you stumble and hurt yourself, don't be afraid to ask for help. Be thankful to those who help you and be thoughtful to your friends. +Lily and Sam were playing outside with their toys. They liked to make pretend houses with sticks and leaves. They had a lot of fun together. + +But then, the sky became dark and gray. Lily and Sam heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a flash of light. It was lightning. They were scared. + +"Let's go inside, Sam!" Lily said. "It's going to rain!" + +They grabbed their toys and ran to the door. But the door was locked. Mom was not home yet. She went to the store to buy some lotion for Lily's dry skin. + +Lily and Sam knocked on the door. They hoped someone would hear them. But no one came.

They told her about the thunder and the lightning and the rain. + +Mom kissed them and said, "Don't worry, it's just a storm. It will pass soon. Let's go inside and get warm and dry. I have some lotion for you, Lily. And some cookies for both of you." + +Lily and Sam smiled. They followed Mom inside. They felt better. They loved Mom. +Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play with clay. They made animals, houses, and cars with their clay. One day, they decided to make something new and original. They wanted to make a volcano. + +They took a big ball of clay and put it on a tray. They made a hole in the top of the ball. They found some red paint and poured it into the hole. They said, "This is our volcano. It can make fire and smoke." + +They showed their volcano to their teacher, Miss Lee. Miss Lee smiled and said, "Wow, that is a very original and creative volcano. Can you introduce it to the class?" + +Lila and Tom nodded. They carried their volcano to the front of the room. They said, "Hello, everyone. This is our volcano. We made it with clay and paint. It can make fire and smoke. Do you want to see?" + +The other children clapped and said, "Yes, yes, we want to see." + +Lila and Tom pushed a button on the tray. The red paint bubbled and spurted out of the hole. The children gasped and cheered. They said, "That is so cool. That is the best volcano ever." + +Lila and Tom felt happy and proud. They thanked Miss Lee and the other children. They learned that making something original and sharing it with others can be fun and rewarding.

She opened her presents. She got a doll, a book and a puzzle. She smiled and said thank you. + +But there was one more present. It was from her friend Ben. It was a card. Anna opened the card. It had a picture of a cat and a flower. It said: "Happy birthday, Anna. You are my best friend. Love, Ben." + +Anna liked the card. She liked Ben. He was her friend from school. But Ben was not at her party. He was sick. He had a cold. He could not come. + +Anna felt sad. She missed Ben. She wanted to play with him. She wanted to hug him. She wanted to say thank you for the card. She started to cry. + +Her mom saw her cry. She came to her and gave her a hug. She said: "Don't cry, Anna. Ben is your friend. He will get better soon. He will come to play with you. He sent you the card because he loves you. You can call him and say thank you. He will be happy to hear your voice." + +Anna stopped crying. She nodded. She said: "Okay, mom. I will call Ben. I love him too. He is my best friend." She smiled and wiped her tears. She took the card and held it close to her heart. She was happy again. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big stone near the slide. It was brown and round and had some spots on it. + +"Look, Lily, a stone!" Ben said. "Let's go and see it." + +"OK, Ben, let's go," Lily said. They ran to the stone and touched it. It was hard and cold. + +"What do you think is inside the stone?" Ben asked. He was curious. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe some bugs or some dirt," Lily said. She was curious too. + +"Maybe we can break the stone and find out," Ben said. He looked around and saw a stick. He picked it up and hit the stone with it. The stone did not break. + +"Let me try, Ben," Lily said. She took the stick and hit the stone harder. The stone still did not break. + +They hit the stone again and again, but nothing happened. They got tired and bored. + +"Maybe the stone is too strong for us," Ben said. He threw the stick away. + +"Maybe we should invite someone else to help us," Lily said. She looked around and saw a big dog. The dog was black and furry and had a long tail. It was barking at a bird. + +"Hey, dog, come here!" Lily shouted. She waved her hand at the dog. + +The dog heard Lily and ran to her. It wagged its tail and licked her face. + +"Hi, dog, do you want to play with us?" Lily asked. She petted the dog. + +The dog barked and nodded. It liked Lily. + +"We have a big stone here. We want to break it and see what is inside. Can you help us?" Ben asked. He pointed at the stone. + +The dog looked at the stone and sniffed it. It did not like the stone. It growled and bit the stone. + +The stone cracked and split in half. Ben and Lily cheered. + +"Wow, dog, you did it! You are so strong!" Ben said. He hugged the dog. + +"Thank you, dog, you are so nice!" Lily said. She kissed the dog. + +They looked at the two pieces of the stone. They saw some shiny things inside. They were sparkly and colorful. + +"Look, Lily, the stone has jewels inside!" Ben said. He picked up a red jewel. + +"Look, Ben, the stone has stars inside!" Lily said. She picked up a yellow jewel. + +They were very happy. They shared the jewels with the dog. The dog was happy too. It liked the jewels. + +They decided to keep the dog as their friend. They invited the dog to play with them every day. They had a lot of fun.

I love frogs." + +They showed each other their paintings and smiled. They were proud of their work. + +But then, Ben came over. Ben was a boy who liked to tease and make trouble. He saw Lily's and Sam's paintings and felt jealous. He wanted to have a better painting than them. He had a plan. + +He took a black paint and a brush and sneaked behind Lily and Sam. He put black paint on their paintings. He made a big X on Lily's pig and a big O on Sam's frog. He laughed and ran away. + +Lily and Sam heard him and turned around. They saw their paintings ruined by Ben. They felt sad and angry. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Lily shouted. "You ruined our paintings!" + +"Yeah, that's mean!" Sam shouted. "You are a bad boy!" + +They ran after Ben to tell him to stop and say sorry. But Ben was faster and hid behind a tree. He thought he was smart and funny. But he was not. He was just jealous and rude. +Tim and Mia like to play golf with their dad. Dad has a big bag with many sticks. He shows them how to hit the ball with the stick. Tim and Mia try to do the same, but it is hard. Sometimes they miss the ball, sometimes they hit it too far or too near. + +One day, they go to a new place to play golf. It has many hills and holes and flags. Dad says they have to put the ball in the hole with the flag. He gives them each a small stick and a ball. He says they have to count how many times they hit the ball until it goes in the hole. + +Tim goes first. He hits the ball with the stick. The ball rolls down the hill and stops near the hole. Tim is happy. He runs to the ball and hits it again. The ball goes in the hole. Tim says, "I did it in two! I am good at golf!" + +Mia goes next. She hits the ball with the stick.

I am bad at golf." + +Dad goes last. He hits the ball with the stick. The ball goes straight to the hole, but it does not go in. It stops on the edge. Dad says, "Oh, no! I almost did it in one! I am almost good at golf!" + +Tim and Mia laugh. They say, "Dad, you are funny! You are good at golf, but not clever. You know what you have to do?" Dad says, "What?" Tim and Mia say, "You have to kick the ball in the hole!" They run to the ball and kick it together. The ball goes in the hole. They say, "Yay! We did it in one! We are clever and good at golf!" Dad smiles and hugs them. He says, "You are right. You are clever and good at golf. And you are also very silly and fun. I love playing golf with you!" +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to draw pictures and show them to her mom. One day, Lily drew a beautiful picture of a flower garden.

The printer is broken." + +Lily felt sad and started to "complain". "But I want to show it to grandma," she said. + +"Don't worry, Lily," her mom said. "I have an idea. Let's take a picture of your drawing with my phone. Then we can show it to grandma." + +Lily was happy again. Her mom's idea was "useful". They took a picture of the drawing and showed it to grandma. Lily felt proud of her drawing and happy that she could share it with her grandma. +Once upon a time, there was a bird with a bright yellow wing. The bird liked to fly high in the sky and see all the pretty things below. One day, the bird saw a little girl who needed help tying her shoe. The bird flew down and used its beak to tie the girl's shoe. The girl was so happy and thanked the bird for being so kind. From that day on, the bird and the girl were friends and they would play together every day. They would run around and the bird would flap its wings and make the girl laugh. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the soft grass. One day, she saw her friend John rushing towards her with a big smile. "Welcome back!" Lily said. "I missed you." John replied, "I missed you too, Lily. Let's play tag!" They ran around the yard, laughing and having fun. When it was time for John to go home, Lily said, "Goodbye, John. Come back soon!" John replied, "I will. Thanks for playing with me." And with that, John rushed off, leaving Lily with a big smile on her face. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the snow. One day, she went outside to play and it was very cold.

Are you having fun?" Lily replied, "Yes, I love playing in the snow. But I wish it wasn't so cold." + +Mrs. Smith said, "I know what you mean, Lily. I have to work outside in this cold weather. It's not easy, but it's my job." Lily nodded and said, "I don't like the cold, but I'm glad I don't have to work outside like you." + +Suddenly, Lily slipped on the icy snow and fell down. She hurt her leg and had to go to the hospital. She couldn't play outside for a long time after that.

One day, she found a mystery box in her closet. She opened it and found a beautiful necklace inside.

Lily said no, but her brother took it anyway and ran away very fast. Lily chased after him, but he was too quick. + +Lily was very sad that her brother took her necklace. She learned that it's not nice to take things that don't belong to you. The moral of the story is to always ask before taking something that belongs to someone else. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play by the shore and build sandcastles. One day, she saw a man performing magic tricks on the beach. She was so amazed by him that she went up to him and said, "Wow, you're really good at performing magic!" + +The man smiled and replied, "Thank you, little one. I'm glad you like it." + +Lily watched as the man pulled a rabbit out of his hat and made a coin disappear. She was so tired from playing in the sun all day that she sat down next to him and said, "I'm so tired. Can I watch you perform more tricks?" + +The man nodded and continued to perform more magic tricks for Lily. She was so happy to have met him and watch him perform.

Lily tried to grab it, but it was too high. Max said, "I told you not to take it. Now it's gone forever." + +Lily felt sad and went home. That night, she looked up at the moon and remembered her mistake. She wished she had listened to Max and not taken the balloon. From then on, she always remembered to listen to her friends and not take things that weren't hers. +Once upon a time, there was a little kitty named Whiskers.
