As the day went on, Lily noticed a mist outside. It was hard to see and made everything look fuzzy. Lily wanted to go outside and play, but her mom said it wasn't safe. The mist could make it hard to breathe. Lily thought about how the mist increased and made it hard for her to play outside. She realized that being selfish, like Timmy, can hurt others.

Lily thought about this for a moment and then said, "I want to marry my teddy bear because he's always honest with me." Her mommy and daddy smiled and said, "That's sweet, Lily. But you can't really marry a teddy bear. Maybe one day you'll find someone just as honest and kind as your teddy bear to marry." Once upon a time, a little girl named Lily went for a walk in the forest. She heard a sound and looked around. She saw a frog jumping near a pond. The frog was green and had big eyes.

You can sit in my basket and we can go up the hill together." Tweetie hopped in the basket and off they went. But as they were pedaling up the hill, they saw a big, mean dog blocking their way. The dog growled, "I want to eat you both up! Give me something yummy or I won't let you pass." Hoppy quickly grabbed a carrot from his basket and gave it to the dog.

Timmy told her that he wanted a gifted toy like Billy's. His mom explained to him that gifts are given out of love and not because someone deserves it more than others. She also told him that it's important to be happy for others when they receive something special. Timmy understood what his mom said and decided to clap for Billy's new toy car.

It is from a fire that burned some of the trees. It is still warm and smoky. They are scared and curious. "What is it, Tom?" Mia says, touching the ash. "It is ash, Mia. It is what is left after something burns. It is not good to touch. It can hurt you." Tom says, pulling her hand away. "Who burned the trees, Tom?" Mia says, looking around. "I don't know, Mia. Maybe someone who is lazy and does not care about the trees. Or maybe it was an accident. But we should not stay here. It is not safe. Let's go back." Tom says, holding her hand. "Okay, Tom. Let's go back. Maybe we can find another hill to climb. One that is green and happy." Mia says, nodding. They get up and walk back down the hill. They are careful and watch where they are going. They see the red bird again and wave to it. They are happy and curious. They talk to each other and laugh. Tim and Kim are twins who like to play in the park. They have a big red ball that they kick and throw to each other. One day, they see a new slide in the park. It is shiny and tall and has a spiral shape. Tim and Kim want to try the slide, but there is a long line of kids waiting for their turn. "Can we go on the slide, please?" Tim asks their mom. "Sure, but you have to wait your turn and be polite," their mom says. Tim and Kim nod and join the line. But they are very impatient. They want to go on the slide now. They start to whine and fidget and push the other kids. "Stop that, Tim and Kim," their mom says. "You have to be patient and wait your turn. If you don't, we will go home." Tim and Kim stop whining and pushing, but they are still unhappy. They look at the slide and wish they could go on it. Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. They see their big red ball rolling down the hill. It is going fast and heading towards the road. There are cars and trucks on the road. Tim and Kim are scared. They don't want their ball to get hit by a car or a truck. "Mom, our ball!" they shout. Their mom sees the ball and runs after it. She tries to catch it, but it is too fast. She sees a gap in the traffic and runs across the road. She grabs the ball and saves it. She is happy and relieved. She brings the ball back to Tim and Kim. "Mom, you saved our ball!" they say. "Thank you, thank you!" They hug their mom and kiss her. They are happy and grateful. They don't care about the slide anymore. They just want to play with their ball and their mom. They go to a grassy spot and play with their ball. They kick and throw it to each other and to their mom. They laugh and have fun. They are not impatient anymore. They are glad that their mom saved their ball and their land. Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. Today they go to the park with their moms. They see a trail in the park. The trail has many leaves and rocks. "Let's go on the trail!" Anna says. "OK!" Ben says. They run on the trail. They see a big puddle. The puddle is wet and shiny. "Look, a puddle!" Ben says. "Can we jump in it?" Anna asks. "Yes, but be careful!" their moms say. Anna and Ben jump in the puddle. They splash and laugh. The water is cold and fun. They get wet and muddy. "That was fun!" Anna says. "Yes, it was!" Ben says. They hug and smile. Their moms give them towels and hugs. They go home happy. Anna and Ben are twins. They share a room and a bed. They like to play and talk before they sleep. But sometimes they fight over toys and books. One night, Anna wanted to read a book about a judge. A judge is a person who decides who is right and who is wrong. Ben wanted to play with a small car. A small car is a toy that can move and make noises. "Give me the book, Anna. I want to read it too," Ben said. "No, Ben. It is my book. You can play with your car," Anna said. They pulled and pushed the book. They shouted and cried. They woke up their mom and dad. Mom and dad came to their room. They were not happy. They looked at Anna and Ben. "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? It is time to sleep," mom said. "Anna took my book. She is not fair," Ben said. "Ben took my car. He is not nice," Anna said. Mom and dad sighed. They took the book and the car. They put them on a shelf. "Listen, Anna and Ben. You are twins. You are family. You should share and care for each other. Fighting is not good. It makes you and others unhappy. Do you understand?" dad said. Anna and Ben nodded. They felt sorry. They hugged each other. "I am sorry, Anna. You can read the book tomorrow. I love you," Ben said. "I am sorry, Ben. You can play with the car tomorrow. I love you," Anna said. Mom and dad smiled. They kissed Anna and Ben. They tucked them in. "Good night, Anna and Ben. Sleep well. We love you," mom and dad said. Anna and Ben closed their eyes. They felt warm and cozy. They dreamed of judges and cars. They were happy. Ben and Jen are twins. They like to play on the farm with their grandpa. Grandpa has many animals, but his favorite is Molly the mule. Molly is brown and big and strong. She helps grandpa carry things and plow the field. One day, Ben and Jen want to ride Molly. They ask grandpa, and he says yes, but they have to be careful and gentle. He gives them a hat and a scarf to wear, because it is cold outside. He also gives them a carrot to give to Molly as a treat. Ben and Jen go to the barn, where Molly is waiting. They say hello to Molly and pet her soft fur. They give her the carrot, and she eats it with a loud crunch. Then they climb on her back, one in front of the other. Grandpa helps them with a rope to hold on to. Molly starts to walk slowly around the farm. Ben and Jen are happy and excited. They see the cows, the sheep, the chickens, and the ducks. They wave to them and say their names. Molly makes a funny noise with her mouth, like she is talking to them too. But then, Molly sees something that makes her angry. It is a red cloth that someone has hung on a fence. Molly does not like red. She thinks it is scary and bad. She stops walking and starts to kick and buck. She tries to get Ben and Jen off her back. She runs towards the cloth and tries to rip it with her teeth. Ben and Jen are scared and sad. They hold on to the rope and to each other. They cry for grandpa to help them. Grandpa hears them and runs to them. He grabs the rope and pulls Molly away from the cloth. He calms her down and talks to her softly. He takes Ben and Jen off her back and hugs them. He says they are brave and good. He says Molly is naughty and sorry. Ben and Jen forgive Molly, but they do not want to ride her again. They say goodbye to her and give her a pat. They go back to the house with grandpa. He gives them some hot cocoa and cookies. He tells them a story about when he was a boy and rode a mule. He says mules are smart and loyal, but sometimes they are stubborn and silly. He says he loves Molly, even when she is naughty. Ben and Jen love grandpa, and they love Molly too. They smile and sip their cocoa. They are happy and warm. Lily and Ben went to the shop with Mom. They wanted to buy a treat for being good. Mom said they could choose one thing each. Lily saw a plastic doll with long hair and a pink dress. She liked the doll very much. She said, "Mom, can I buy this doll? She is so pretty and I can comb her hair." Ben saw a plastic car with big wheels and a loud horn. He liked the car very much. He said, "Mom, can I buy this car? It is so fast and I can make it beep." Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can buy the doll and the car. They are not very expensive and you have been good. But first, let's buy some fruit for later. Fruit is delicious and healthy." Lily and Ben agreed and helped Mom pick some apples, bananas and grapes. They put them in a bag and paid at the counter. Then they took their plastic toys and went home. They were very happy with their new toys. They played with them all afternoon. They also ate some fruit and shared with Mom. They said, "Thank you, Mom, for buying us these toys and fruit. They are both delicious." Mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I love you very much." Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with red apples on it. They wanted to pick some apples to eat, but the tree was too high for them. "Look, there is a ladder!" Ben said. He pointed to a wooden ladder that was hidden behind some bushes. "We can use it to climb the tree and get the apples." Lily was not sure. She thought the ladder looked old and shaky. She was afraid it might break or fall. "I don't think we should use that ladder," she said. "It is not safe. Maybe the apples belong to someone else." Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran to the ladder and started to climb. He reached the first branch and grabbed an apple. He smiled and said, "This apple is so juicy and sweet. Come on, Lily, don't be scared. There are more apples for us." Lily shook her head. She stayed on the ground and watched Ben. She hoped he would be careful. But then, she heard a loud crack. The ladder broke and Ben fell down. He hit the ground hard and cried out in pain. Lily ran to Ben and saw that he had hurt his arm and leg. She felt sorry for him and tried to help him. She said, "Ben, are you okay? I'm sorry you fell. We should go and find a grown-up to help you." Ben nodded and said, "Lily, you were right. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. The ladder was not safe. The apples were not worth it. I'm sorry I was greedy and foolish." Lily and Ben learned a lesson that day. They learned that they should be careful and respectful. They learned that they should listen to their friends and not take what is not theirs. They learned that sometimes, the best things are not hidden, but right in front of them. Sam and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were lions and tigers. They would run and jump and roar at each other. They had a lot of fun. One day, they found a big jug in the shed. It was empty and had a handle and a spout. Sam had an idea. He said to Mia, "Let's fill the jug with water and use it as a fountain. We can be lions and tigers who drink from the fountain." Mia liked the idea. They took the jug to the tap and filled it with water. Then they carried it to the middle of the garden and put it on the ground. They took turns to tilt the jug and make the water come out of the spout. They pretended to lap up the water with their tongues and make happy noises. They were having so much fun that they did not hear their mum calling them for lunch. She came out to the garden and saw them playing with the jug. She smiled and said, "You two look like very thirsty lions and tigers. Do you want to come inside and have some sandwiches and juice?" Sam and Mia nodded and ran to their mum. They gave her a hug and said, "Thank you, mum. We love you." They left the jug in the garden. It was peaceful and quiet. The sun shone on the water and made it sparkle. The jug was happy too. It had made two new friends. Jill liked to play with snow. She made snowballs and snowmen with her friends. She wore a pink hat and a pink coat and pink gloves. She was very popular and everyone wanted to be her friend. One day, a new girl came to the park. Her name was Kate. She had a blue hat and a blue coat and no gloves. She looked cold and sad. Jill felt sorry for her and wanted to help her. "Hi, I am Jill. Do you want to play with me?" Jill asked. "Hi, I am Kate. I want to play, but I have no gloves. My hands are very cold," Kate said. "That's okay. You can lend my gloves. They are very warm and pretty," Jill said. She took off her gloves and gave them to Kate. "Thank you, Jill. You are very nice," Kate said. She put on the gloves and smiled. Jill and Kate played with snow. They made snowballs and snowmen and had fun. Jill was happy to share her gloves with Kate. But then, something bad happened. Kate saw some other kids playing with a sled. She wanted to try it too. She ran to the sled and jumped on it. She did not ask Jill or the other kids. She did not say goodbye. She just took the sled and the gloves and slid down the hill. "Hey, that's not fair! That's our sled! And those are my gloves!" Jill shouted. But Kate did not hear her. She did not care. She just kept sliding and laughing. She did not give back the sled or the gloves. She was very mean and selfish. Jill was very sad and angry. She had no gloves and no sled and no friend. She felt cold and lonely. She cried and went home. She wished she never met Kate. She wished she never lent her gloves. She learned a hard lesson. Not everyone is nice and honest. Some people are bad and greedy. She had to be careful who she trusted. Lily and Ben are twins. They share a room and a bed. They like to play and read and sing together. But sometimes they fight over toys and books and space. One night, Lily and Ben are getting ready for bed. They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. Then they climb into their bed and pick a book to read. Lily wants to read about princesses and dragons. Ben wants to read about cars and planes. They both pull the book they want and tug and tug. "Let go of my book!" Lily says. "I want to read it first!" "No, let go of my book!" Ben says. "I want to read it first!" They pull harder and harder until the book rips in half. They both gasp and drop the pieces. They look at each other and feel sad and sorry. They think about what they did. They think about how they love each other and how they love to read. They think about how it is not fair to fight over books and how it is not fun to rip them. They hug each other and say, "I'm sorry, Lily." "I'm sorry, Ben." They pick up the pieces of the book and put them on the shelf. They decide to read another book together, one that they both like. They snuggle in their bed and listen to the story. They smile and say, "Good night, Lily." "Good night, Ben." They close their eyes and fall asleep. Lila and Ben liked to play on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand, splash in the water, and look for shells. One day, they found a big, round shell that was closed. It was an oyster. "Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "Maybe there is a pearl inside!" "Let me see!" Lila said. She tried to open the oyster with her fingers, but it was too hard. She looked around and saw a rock. She picked it up and hit the oyster with it. "Be careful, Lila!" Ben said. "The oyster is sharp. You might hurt yourself." But Lila did not listen. She hit the oyster harder and harder, until it cracked open. She smiled and looked inside. But there was no pearl. There was only a small, ordinary stone. "Aw, that's not fair!" Lila said. She threw the oyster and the stone away. She felt a sting on her hand. She looked and saw a cut. She had cut herself on the sharp oyster. She started to cry. "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Lila said. "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Ben ran to her and hugged her. He took her to their mom, who was sitting on a towel. She cleaned the cut and put a band-aid on it. "There, there," mom said. "It's okay, Lila. You'll be fine. Next time, be more careful with the oyster. It's not worth getting hurt for a pearl that might not be there." Lila nodded. She learned her lesson. She decided to play with the shells that were already open. They were not sharp, and they were not ordinary. They were shiny and pretty, and they made her happy. Lila and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big bowl of salad on the table. It has green leaves, red tomatoes, yellow cheese and brown nuts. "Can we eat some salad?" Lila asks Ben. "Yes, let's try it. It looks yummy," Ben says. They run to the table and take some salad with their hands. They put it in their mouths and chew. "Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cries. "The nuts are hard and hurt my teeth." "Me too, me too!" Ben says. "And the cheese is tight and sticky. I can't swallow it." They spit out the salad and make faces. "Yuck, yuck, yuck!" they say. "This salad is bad. We don't like it." They see their mom coming out of the house. She sees the salad on the floor and the kids' mouths. "What happened here?" she asks. "We tried the salad, but it was bad," Lila says. "It hurt our teeth and made us tight," Ben says. Mom smiles and hugs them. "I'm sorry, my loves. This salad is not for you. It is for grown-ups. It has nuts and cheese that are hard and tight. You need soft and easy food. Like bread and jam, or fruit and yogurt. Do you want some?" "Yes, please, mom," Lila and Ben say. Mom takes them inside and gives them some bread and jam, and fruit and yogurt. They eat happily and forget about the salad. The end. Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play a game, but they did not know what to play. They looked around the house, but they did not see anything fun. "Let's go to the kitchen," Ben said. "Maybe we can find something there." They walked to the kitchen and saw the fridge. It was big and white and cold. They opened the door and saw many things inside. There were fruits and vegetables and cheese and milk and eggs and juice and more. "Wow, look at all these things!" Lily said. "They look yummy!" "Let's play a game with them," Ben said. "Let's count how many things we can see in the fridge." "Okay, that sounds fun," Lily said. "You go first." Ben started to count. He pointed at each thing and said its name. "One apple, two bananas, three carrots, four grapes, five slices of cheese, six eggs, seven bottles of juice, eight sticks of butter, nine yogurts, ten jars of jam..." He counted and counted until he reached twenty. He was very proud of himself. He looked at Lily and smiled. "Your turn," he said. Lily nodded. She wanted to count too. She looked at the fridge and tried to find more things. She saw some things that Ben did not count. She pointed at them and said their names. "Eleven tomatoes, twelve cucumbers, thirteen lemons, fourteen oranges, fifteen strawberries, sixteen blueberries, seventeen cherries, eighteen mushrooms, nineteen corns, twenty peppers..." She counted and counted until she reached thirty. She was very happy. She looked at Ben and grinned. "I counted more than you," she said. Ben was surprised. He did not see some of the things that Lily counted. He looked at the fridge again and saw that she was right. There were more things in the fridge than he thought. "That's incredible!" he said. "You are very good at counting, Lily. You win the game." Lily and Ben hugged each other. They were both very good at counting, and they had fun playing the game. They decided to share some of the fruits and juice from the fridge as a prize. They ate and drank and laughed and talked. They were not bored anymore. They were happy. Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the market with Mom. The market has many things to see and smell and touch. Anna likes the fruits and Ben likes the breads. One day, they go to the market and see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry and has a long tail. The dog barks at them and runs towards them. Anna and Ben are scared. They hold Mom's hand and hide behind her. "Mom, Mom, the dog is bad!" Anna cries. "No, no, the dog is not bad. The dog is just excited. He wants to play with you." Mom says. "Are you sure, Mom?" Ben asks. "Yes, I am sure. Look, the dog is wagging his tail. That means he is happy and friendly. He is not going to hurt you." Mom says. Mom bends down and pets the dog. The dog licks her hand and wags his tail more. Mom smiles and says, "See, he is a good dog. He is just lonely. He needs a home and a family. Do you want to be his friends?" Anna and Ben look at the dog. The dog looks at them with big eyes. He seems nice and soft. Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom, we want to be his friends." Mom hugs them and says, "That's fine. We can take him home and give him a name and a bed and some food. He can be our new pet. How do you like that?" Anna and Ben clap and cheer. They are happy. They have a new friend. The dog barks and jumps. He is happy too. He has a new home and a family. They all go home together from the market. They are fine. Tim and Lily woke up early. They wanted to see the sunrise. They put on their coats and hats and went outside. They walked to the hill near their house. "Look, Lily, the sky is changing color!" Tim said. He pointed to the east, where the sky was pink and orange. "The sun is coming up soon!" Lily nodded. She was excited. She loved the sunrise. She wanted to see the sun's face. She looked around, but she could not see the sun. She felt frustrated. "Where is the sun, Tim?" she asked. "Why can't I see it?" Tim shrugged. He did not know. He looked at the sky too, but he could not see the sun either. He saw some clouds, but they were not the sun. He felt frustrated too. "Maybe the sun is hiding, Lily," he said. "Maybe it is shy." Lily frowned. She did not like that. She wanted the sun to come out and say hello. She wanted to see its bright and warm smile. She did not want it to be shy. She decided to talk to the sun. She shouted, "Sun, sun, where are you? Please come out and play with us! We want to see you!" Tim joined her. He shouted too, "Sun, sun, where are you? Please come out and play with us! We want to see you!" They shouted and shouted, but the sun did not answer. They waited and waited, but the sun did not show up. They felt sad and disappointed. They wondered if the sun was mad at them, or if it was sleeping, or if it had gone away. Then, suddenly, they saw a bright light behind the clouds. It was the sun! It had heard their shouts, and it had decided to come out and play with them. It peeked through the clouds, and then it jumped over them. It smiled at Tim and Lily, and it said, "Hello, Tim and Lily! I'm sorry I made you wait. I was playing hide and seek with the clouds. But I heard your shouts, and I wanted to see you too. I'm happy to play with you!" Tim and Lily smiled back. They were happy to see the sun too. They clapped their hands and cheered. They pointed to the sun and said, "Hello, sun! We're happy to play with you too! You're so bright and warm and beautiful! Thank you for coming out!" The sun laughed and said, "You're welcome, Tim and Lily! You're so sweet and brave and curious! I like you very much! Let's play together until the sunset!" And that's what they did. They played with the sun, and they watched the sunrise. They had a lot of fun, and they learned a lot of things. They forgot about their frustration, and they felt only joy. They loved the sunrise, and they loved the sun. And the sun loved them too. Anna and Ben were playing in the hall. They liked to run and jump and slide on the floor. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a lot of noise. "Anna, Ben, be careful!" their mom called from the kitchen. "Don't break anything or hurt yourselves!" Anna and Ben nodded, but they did not stop. They were too busy having fun. They did not see the big vase on the table at the end of the hall. The vase was very pretty and very old. Their mom loved it very much. "Look, Ben, I can slide faster than you!" Anna said. She ran and slid on the floor, but she was too clumsy. She bumped into the table and made the vase fall. CRASH! The vase broke into many pieces. Anna and Ben gasped. They knew they were in trouble. "Anna, Ben, what did you do?" their mom shouted. She came to the hall and saw the mess. She was very angry and very sad. "We're sorry, mom, we're sorry!" Anna and Ben said. They felt very bad. They wanted to make their mom happy, not sad. Their mom sighed. She picked up the pieces of the vase and put them in a box. She looked at Anna and Ben. "I'm very disappointed in you, Anna and Ben. You did not listen to me. You did not trust me. You did not respect the vase. You were very careless and very clumsy. You need to learn to be more careful and more respectful. Do you understand?" Anna and Ben nodded. They understood. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry again. They promised to be more careful and more respectful. They hoped their mom would forgive them and love them. They loved their mom very much. Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. They have many toys, like cars, dolls, blocks and books. They like to play together and share their toys. Suddenly, Lily feels something in her tummy. She needs to go to the toilet. She tells Tom, "Tom, I need to go to the toilet. Can you wait for me?" Tom nods and says, "OK, Lily. I will wait for you. But hurry up, OK? I want to play more with you." Lily runs to the toilet. She knows how to use the toilet by herself. She is a big girl. She pulls down her pants and sits on the toilet. She pees and poos. She feels better. She wipes herself with toilet paper and flushes the toilet. She washes her hands with soap and water. She dries her hands with a towel. She is done. She finishes using the toilet. She runs back to the living room. She sees Tom still playing with his toys. He smiles and says, "Lily, you are back! Did you finish using the toilet?" Lily nods and says, "Yes, Tom. I finished using the toilet. It was easy. I can do it by myself. Can we play more now?" Tom says, "Yes, Lily. We can play more now. You are a good girl. I am proud of you." They hug and play more with their toys. They are happy. They are friends. Anna loves to help her mom bake cakes. She likes to crack the eggs, pour the milk, and measure the flour. But her favorite part is using the mixer. The mixer is a big machine that makes the batter smooth and fluffy. It makes a loud noise and spins very fast. One day, Anna and her mom are making a chocolate cake for dad's birthday. Mom lets Anna choose the decorations. Anna decides to use sprinkles, candles, and a big star. She thinks it will look impressive. She tells mom, "Dad will love our cake. It will be the best cake ever." Mom smiles and says, "I'm sure he will. But first, we need to mix the batter. Do you want to help me with the mixer?" Anna nods and runs to the counter. She puts on her apron and holds the mixer with both hands. Mom turns it on and guides it through the bowl. Anna feels the mixer vibrate and shake. She giggles and says, "This is fun!" Mom and Anna mix the batter for a few minutes, then pour it into a pan. They put it in the oven and wait for it to bake. Anna watches the cake rise and smell yummy. She can't wait to decorate it and surprise dad. She thinks, "This is the best day ever." Anna and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. Sometimes they knocked them down and laughed. But today, Anna wanted to make a big castle. She took all the big blocks and put them together. Ben wanted some big blocks too, but Anna said no. "Those are mine. You can have the small ones," she said. Ben was sad. He tried to make something with the small blocks, but they did not fit well. He looked at Anna's castle and wished he could help. He saw a big block that Anna had left on the floor. He thought maybe she would not notice if he took it. He reached for it and put it on his pile. But Anna saw him. She was angry. She ran to him and grabbed the block. "Hey, that's mine! Give it back!" she shouted. Ben did not want to give it back. He held it tight. "No, I want it! You have too many!" he shouted back. They pulled and pushed and yelled. The block flew out of their hands and hit their parent, who was sitting on the couch. "Ow!" their parent said. "What are you doing?" Anna and Ben stopped. They looked at their parent, who had a red mark on their face. They felt guilty. They knew they had been bad. They dropped their blocks and ran to their parent. They hugged them and said they were sorry. "It's okay," their parent said. "But you need to share and be nice to each other. Blocks are for fun, not for fighting." Anna and Ben nodded. They said they would share and be nice. They asked their parent if they wanted to play with them. Their parent smiled. They said yes. They took some blocks and joined them. They helped them make a big castle together. They had fun. Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom had a big truck that he liked to zoom around. Lily had a doll that she liked to dress up and hug. "Look at my truck, Lily!" Tom said. "It can go fast and loud!" "Look at my doll, Tom!" Lily said. "She is pretty and soft!" They showed each other their toys and smiled. They were happy. But then, something strange happened. Their toys started to shrink! The truck became smaller and smaller, until it was the size of a coin. The doll became tiny and tiny, until it was the size of a button. "Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" their mom asked, coming into the living room. She saw the small toys on the floor and frowned. "Did you break your toys?" "No, mom, we didn't!" Tom and Lily said. "They just shrank by themselves!" Mom did not believe them. She thought they were lying. She was angry. She picked up the small toys and threw them in the bin. "Mom, no!" Tom and Lily cried. "Those are our toys! We love them!" But mom did not listen. She walked away and left them alone. Tom and Lily were sad and scared. They did not know why their toys shrank. They did not know how to get them back. They hugged each other and cried. They wished their toys would grow big again. It was a cold night and the snow was falling. Sam and Lily were sleeping in their beds, waiting for Santa to come. They had been good all year and hoped for some nice toys. But Santa was in trouble. His sleigh was too heavy and one of his reindeer had hurt his leg. He could not fly fast enough and he was running out of time. He had to hurry and deliver all the presents before the sun came up. He saw a house with a big chimney and a bright star on the roof. He thought it was Sam and Lily's house. He landed his sleigh on the lawn and took out a big sack of gifts. He told his reindeer to stay put and be quiet. He said, "I'll be back soon. Don't worry, you are safe here." He climbed down the chimney and put the presents under the tree. He ate the cookies and drank the milk that Sam and Lily had left for him. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Sam and Lily. You are very kind and thoughtful." But as he was going back to the chimney, he heard a noise. It was Sam and Lily, who had woken up and sneaked downstairs. They saw Santa and gasped. They said, "Santa, is that you? We are so happy to see you!" Santa was surprised and happy too. He said, "Hello, Sam and Lily. You are very brave and curious. But you should be sleeping, it's very late." Sam and Lily said, "We are sorry, Santa. We just wanted to see you and thank you for the presents. But what about your reindeer? Are they okay?" Santa said, "They are fine, but one of them is hurt. I have to hurry and finish my job. Can you do me a favor and help me?" Sam and Lily said, "Of course, Santa. What can we do?" Santa said, "You can give my reindeer some carrots and water. They are very hungry and thirsty. And you can give them some hugs and kisses. They are very lonely and sad." Sam and Lily said, "We can do that, Santa. We love your reindeer. They are very cute and friendly." Santa said, "Thank you, Sam and Lily. You are very helpful and generous. You have made my reindeer and me very happy. Now go back to bed and have sweet dreams. I'll see you next year. Merry Christmas!" Sam and Lily said, "Merry Christmas, Santa. We love you!" They ran outside and fed and hugged the reindeer. Then they went back to bed and fell asleep. Santa flew away with his sleigh and his reindeer. He said, "Ho ho ho! What a wonderful night! Sam and Lily are the best children in the world!" The moral of the story is: Be kind and caring to others, especially those who are in need. You will make them happy and you will be happy too. Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and pick flowers. One day, they saw a big field of daisies. They ran to the field and started to pick some. "Look, Lily, I have a daisy for you!" Ben said, holding a yellow and white flower. "Thank you, Ben, it is very pretty!" Lily said, smiling. She put the daisy in her hair. "You remind me of a bee, Ben, because you are yellow and black!" Ben laughed. He liked to wear his yellow and black shirt. He also liked bees, because they made honey. He saw a bee flying near a daisy. He wanted to see it closer. He walked to the daisy and reached out his hand. "Ben, be careful!" Lily said. "The bee might sting you!" But Ben did not listen. He touched the bee. The bee was angry. It stung Ben on his finger. Ben cried out loud. It hurt a lot. Lily ran to Ben. She saw his finger was red and swollen. She was scared. She did not know what to do. She looked around for help. But there was no one in the park. They were alone. "Ben, we have to go home!" Lily said. "Your finger needs a band-aid!" But Ben was too hurt to walk. He lay on the ground and sobbed. He wished his mom was here. He wished he had not touched the bee. He wished he had listened to Lily. Lily wished that too. She wished they had stayed on the playground. She wished they had not gone to the field of daisies. She wished they were safe. Sara and Tom are playing with their toy dinosaurs. Sara has a big green one with sharp teeth and spikes. Tom has a small brown one with a long neck and a tail. They make noises and pretend to fight. "Rawr! My dinosaur is stronger than yours!" Sara says. "No, mine is faster and smarter!" Tom says. They bump their dinosaurs together and knock over a block tower. They laugh and build it again. Then Sara sees something shiny on the floor. It is a scale from a real fish. It is silver and smooth and sparkles in the light. "Wow, look at this!" Sara says. She picks up the scale and holds it to her dinosaur's back. "Now my dinosaur has a shiny scale! It is so pretty!" Tom looks at the scale and wants it too. He thinks his dinosaur is dull and boring. "Give me that scale!" Tom says. He tries to grab it from Sara. "No, it is mine! I found it!" Sara says. She pulls it away from Tom. They tug and pull and shout. The scale slips from their hands and flies across the room. It lands on the window sill and sticks there. They stop and stare at the scale. They feel sad and sorry. They look at each other and say, "I'm sorry." They hug and make up. They decide to share the scale and take turns putting it on their dinosaurs. They go back to playing and having fun. They forget about the block tower and knock it over again. They laugh and build it again. Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big stand with many toys. They run to the stand and look at the toys. "Wow, look at this doll!" Sara says. "She has a charming dress and a hat. Can I hold her?" "Sure, you can hold her," the man at the stand says. "But be careful, she is old and fragile." Sara takes the doll and hugs her. She rubs her cheek on the doll's hair. She feels happy. "Can I see that car?" Tom asks. He points to a red car with wheels and a horn. "Of course, you can see it," the man says. "But don't break it, it is rare and valuable." Tom takes the car and makes it go vroom-vroom. He presses the horn and it makes a loud beep. He feels excited. Sara and Tom play with the toys for a long time. They forget about the time. They forget about their parents. "Hey, kids, it's time to go!" the man says. "You have to give back the toys. They are not yours." Sara and Tom look sad. They don't want to give back the toys. They like them so much. "Please, can we keep them?" Sara asks. "We will be good and take care of them." "Please, can we buy them?" Tom asks. "We have some money in our pockets." The man shakes his head. He smiles kindly. "I'm sorry, kids, but you can't keep them or buy them," he says. "These toys are not for sale. They are part of my collection. I only show them to people who love toys like you do." Sara and Tom understand. They give back the toys to the man. They say thank you and goodbye. They walk away with their parents. They feel a little sad, but also happy. They have seen some charming toys. They have made a new friend. They have had a lot of fun. Sam was a tall boy who liked to spoil his toys. He did not care for them or play nice. He threw them, broke them, and left them in the junk. His mom and dad were sad and angry. They told him to stop spoiling his toys and to clean up his junk. But Sam did not listen. He said he wanted new toys. One day, Sam saw a big box in the living room. He thought it was a new toy for him. He ran to the box and ripped it open. He was happy to see a shiny bike inside. He wanted to ride it right away. He did not see the card on the box that said "Happy Birthday, Tom". Tom was his little brother who was turning three. Sam took the bike outside and rode it fast. He did not wear a helmet or watch where he was going. He spoiled the bike. He scratched it, bent it, and popped the tires. He crashed into a tree and hurt himself. He cried and cried. Tom came outside and saw his bike. He saw the card on the box that said his name. He saw how Sam spoiled his bike. He was sad and angry. He did not want to share his bike with Sam. He said Sam was a bad brother. Mom and dad came outside and saw what happened. They saw how Sam spoiled Tom's bike. They saw how Sam hurt himself and made Tom cry. They were very sad and angry. They said Sam was a naughty boy. They said he had to go to his room and stay there. They said he could not have any new toys. They said he had to learn to be nice and care for his things. Sam was sorry. He wished he did not spoil Tom's bike. He wished he did not hurt himself and make Tom cry. He wished he listened to mom and dad. He wished he had a new toy. But it was too late. He spoiled everything. He had a bad day. Sara and Ben were playing in the backyard. They saw a big wire on the fence. It was shiny and had many colors. Sara was curious. She wanted to touch the wire and see what it was. "Can I touch the wire, Ben?" Sara asked. "No, Sara, you can't. The wire is not for playing. It is for the lights. It can hurt you if you touch it. It can make you go ouch!" Ben said. "But I want to touch it. It looks so pretty. Please, Ben, let me touch it. Just a little bit." Sara said. Sara did not listen to Ben. She complained and complained. She reached for the wire with her hand. Ben tried to stop her, but he was too late. Sara touched the wire and felt a zap. She cried out loud. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! The wire hurt me, Ben! The wire hurt me!" Sara said. Ben ran to Sara and hugged her. He was sorry for Sara. He was also scared. He hoped Sara was okay. "I told you not to touch the wire, Sara. I told you it was not for playing. I told you it could hurt you. You should have listened to me, Sara. You should have listened to me." Ben said. Sara stopped crying. She looked at Ben. She was sorry too. She knew Ben was right. She knew she should have listened to him. She knew she was not careful. "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry I did not listen to you. I'm sorry I touched the wire. I'm sorry I was not careful. I will not do it again, Ben. I will not do it again." Sara said. Ben smiled at Sara. He was glad Sara was sorry. He was also glad Sara was okay. He still loved Sara. He was still her brother. "It's okay, Sara. I'm sorry you got hurt. I'm glad you are okay. I still love you, Sara. I'm still your brother." Ben said. Sara and Ben hugged each other. They were happy again. They decided to play with something else. They decided to play with the ball. The ball was safe and fun. The ball was for playing. The ball did not hurt them. The ball made them laugh. Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to go on the slide. The slide is big and fun. One day, a big boy comes to the park. He is mean. He says the slide is his. He does not let Sam and Ben go on the slide. He pushes them away. Sam and Ben are sad and angry. They try to talk to the big boy. They say the slide is for everyone. They say they can share. The big boy does not listen. He says he is strong and they are weak. He says he can do what he wants. Sam and Ben do not give up. They have a plan. They wait for the big boy to go on the slide. Then they run to the slide. They start to push the slide. They push it hard. The slide moves. The big boy is scared. He slides down fast. He falls off the slide. He hurts his knee. He cries. Sam and Ben stop pushing the slide. They go to the big boy. They say they are sorry. They say they do not like to be mean. They say they want to be friends. The big boy says he is sorry too. He says he was wrong. He says he wants to be friends too. They all hug. They all go on the slide. They all have fun. The end. Anna was a curious girl who liked to explore new things. One day, she saw a big shoe in the park. She wondered who left it there and what it was for. She ran to the shoe and climbed inside. It was very big and soft and smelled funny. She heard a loud voice say, "Hey, that's my shoe!" She looked up and saw a man with a red face and a funny hat. He was angry and came to get his shoe. Anna was scared and tried to get out, but she was stuck. She started to cry. The man saw Anna and felt sorry for her. He said, "Don't cry, little girl. I'm not mad at you. I just need my shoe. It's for a clown show. I'm a clown and I make people laugh." He helped Anna out of the shoe and gave her a hug. He said, "You are very curious, but you should be careful. Some things are not for playing. Do you want to see my show?" Anna nodded and wiped her tears. She felt embarrassed for taking his shoe, but he was nice and funny. He took her hand and led her to a big tent. There were many people and clowns and animals. Anna saw the man put on his shoe and do silly tricks. She laughed and clapped. She was happy and forgot her embarrassment. She learned something new and made a new friend. Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to match the cars by their colors and shapes. Tom had a red car and a blue car. Lily had a yellow car and a green car. "Look, Tom, I have a yellow car and a green car. They match!" Lily said. "That's nice, Lily. But I have a red car and a blue car. They match too!" Tom said. They were having fun until they heard a loud noise from the roof. They looked up and saw smoke coming out of the chimney. The chimney was filthy and black. "What's that, Tom?" Lily asked. "I don't know, Lily. Maybe it's a fire. Let's go and tell Mommy!" Tom said. They ran to the kitchen where Mommy was making cookies. They told her what they saw and she went to check. "Don't worry, kids. It's not a fire. It's just Santa Claus. He's coming to bring you presents!" Mommy said. "Santa Claus? But it's not Christmas yet!" Tom said. "Well, he's a bit early this year. He wanted to surprise you. But he got stuck in the chimney because it's so filthy. We need to help him out!" Mommy said. "How can we help him, Mommy?" Lily asked. "We can use your toy cars, Lily. They match the colors of his suit. Red, green, yellow and blue. If we put them on the fireplace, maybe he can see them and follow them out!" Mommy said. "OK, Mommy. Let's do it!" Lily said. They took their toy cars and placed them on the fireplace. They waited and listened. Soon, they heard a ho ho ho and a thud. Santa Claus came out of the chimney. He was covered in soot and ash, but he was smiling. "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You saved me! You are very clever and kind. Here are your presents. Merry Christmas!" Santa Claus said. He gave them each a big box wrapped in shiny paper. He also gave them a hug and a kiss. Then he went back to the chimney and flew away with his reindeer. Tom and Lily opened their presents and found more toy cars. They were very happy and excited. They thanked Santa Claus and Mommy. They played with their new toy cars and matched them with their old ones. They had a lot of fun. They also learned to keep the chimney clean. The end. Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat waffles for breakfast. Mom said she would make them some. She put the waffle mix in the iron and closed it. "Be careful, kids. The iron is hot. It can burn you if you touch it," Mom said. Lily and Ben nodded. They waited for the waffles to be ready. They smelled the sweet waffle smell. They heard the iron beep. "Yay, waffles!" they shouted. They ran to the kitchen. They saw the waffles on a plate. They looked yummy. Mom gave them each a waffle. She put some butter and syrup on them. She gave them forks and knives. "Enjoy your waffles, kids. But don't eat too fast. You might get dizzy," Mom said. Lily and Ben thanked Mom. They started to eat their waffles. They were warm and soft and sweet. They liked them a lot. Lily ate her waffle very fast. She wanted to have another one. She finished her waffle and reached for the plate. "Slow down, Lily. You don't want to get dizzy, do you?" Ben said. Lily shook her head. She grabbed another waffle. She ate it even faster. She felt her tummy full. She felt her head spin. "Oh no, I'm dizzy," Lily said. She dropped her fork. She put her hand on her forehead. Mom saw Lily. She was worried. She went to Lily. She touched her forehead. "Lily, are you okay? You ate too fast. You need to rest," Mom said. She picked up Lily. She carried her to the couch. She put a pillow under her head. She gave her a glass of water. "Drink some water, Lily. It will help you feel better," Mom said. Lily drank some water. She felt a little better. She closed her eyes. She said sorry to Mom. "It's okay, Lily. You just learned a lesson. Next time, eat your waffles slowly and enjoy them," Mom said. She kissed Lily on the cheek. She smiled at Ben. He smiled back. He ate his waffle slowly and enjoyed it. He was not dizzy. He was happy. Tom and Mia liked to swim in the sea. They saw many fish and shells and corals. They liked to play with the fish and touch the corals. They did not know that the corals were alive and could get hurt. One day, they met a big turtle. The turtle was old and wise. He said to them, "Hello, little ones. Do you like the reef?" "Yes, we do!" Tom and Mia said. "The reef is very pretty and fun." "I'm glad you like it," the turtle said. "But you should be careful. The reef is also very fragile and important. The fish and the corals need the reef to live and grow. If you play too rough or touch too much, you can damage the reef and make the fish and the corals sad." Tom and Mia looked at the turtle. They did not want to make the fish and the corals sad. They wanted to be good friends to them. "Thank you, turtle," Tom and Mia said. "We did not know that. We will be more gentle and respectful to the reef. We will only look and not touch." The turtle smiled. He was happy that Tom and Mia learned a lesson. He said, "You are very welcome. You are very smart and kind. The reef is lucky to have you as visitors. Come back anytime, but remember to be careful and gentle." Tom and Mia nodded. They said goodbye to the turtle and swam away. They still enjoyed the reef, but they did not play with the fish or touch the corals anymore. They only looked and admired. They felt good in their hearts. They knew they were doing the right thing. They knew they were helping the reef and the fish and the corals. They knew they were popular with them. Tom and Mia are best friends. They like to play together in the park. Sometimes they imagine they are pirates or astronauts or superheroes. They have a lot of fun. One day, it is very cold and rainy. Tom and Mia cannot go to the park. They are sad. They want to play outside. "Let's imagine we are in a sunny island," Mia says. "We can pretend this is a boat and that is a palm tree." "OK," Tom says. "But how do we get there?" "We can use this blanket as a sail and this pillow as a steering wheel," Mia says. "Come on, hop in!" Tom and Mia wrap themselves in the blanket and hold the pillow. They make noises like the wind and the waves. They imagine they see dolphins and birds and rainbows. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the rain and the cold. They stay in their boat until their moms call them for lunch. They smile at each other. "We can go to the park tomorrow," Tom says. "Yes," Mia says. "But today we had a great adventure." They hug and go to eat. They are happy. Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a bottle on the table. The bottle has many small things inside. They are different colors. "What are these?" Ben questions. He opens the bottle and takes out a red thing. "I don't know. Maybe they are candy," Mia says. She takes out a blue thing. Ben puts the red thing in his mouth. He makes a face. "Yuck! This is not candy. This is bad. It is bitter." Mia puts the blue thing in her mouth. She smiles. "This is candy. This is good. It is sweet." Ben spits out the red thing. He wants a blue thing too. He reaches for the bottle. But Mia holds it away from him. "No, Ben. You can't have more. These are not candy. These are pills. Mommy said pills are for sick people. We are not sick. We have to put them back." Ben is sad. He likes sweet things. He does not like bitter things. He does not understand why Mia can have sweet things and he can't. "Mia, please. Can I have one more? Just one more. Please." Mia shakes her head. She is a good sister. She knows pills are not for playing. She knows they can be dangerous. "Sorry, Ben. No more. Come on, let's play something else. How about we draw some pictures?" Ben nods. He likes to draw. He follows Mia to their room. He forgets about the pills. He is happy again. Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. They wanted to see the fish better, so they went closer to the water. "Look, Mia, that fish is blue!" Tom said, pointing to a shiny fish. "Wow, it is so pretty!" Mia said. "Can we touch it?" Tom and Mia leaned over the edge of the pond. They reached out their hands to the fish. But the pond was deep, and they slipped and fell in. Splash! The water was cold and wet. Tom and Mia were scared. They tried to swim, but they could not. They drank some water by mistake. It tasted bad. "Help! Help!" Tom and Mia cried. "We are in the pond!" The ducks and the fish swam away. They did not like the noise. But a man who was walking his dog heard Tom and Mia. He ran to the pond and pulled them out. "Are you okay, kids?" the man asked. "You should not go near the deep water. It is dangerous." Tom and Mia coughed and shivered. They were sorry and thanked the man. He gave them a towel and his dog licked their faces. They felt better. "Let's go home, Tom," Mia said. "We need to change our clothes and tell Mom what happened." "Okay, Mia," Tom said. "But next time, let's just look at the fish, not touch them." Lily and Sam like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the film camera. The film camera can make pictures that move. Lily and Sam want to make a film of their toys. They put their toys on the floor and turn on the film camera. They talk to their toys and make them do funny things. They pretend that the toys are their friends and have adventures. Lily and Sam have fun making their film. But then they see that the film camera is almost out of film. They need more film to finish their film. They look around and see a box of film on the shelf. The box says "mix before use". Lily and Sam do not know what "mix" means. They ask their mom, who is in the kitchen. Mom is making a cake. She has a big bowl and a spoon. She is putting eggs and flour and sugar and butter in the bowl. She is mixing them together. "Mom, what does 'mix' mean?" Lily asks. "Mix means to stir things together, like this," Mom says, showing them the bowl. "Why do you ask?" "We need to mix the film for the film camera," Sam says. Mom laughs. "No, you don't need to mix the film for the film camera. That's a different kind of mix. That means to shake the box before you open it. It helps the film work better." "Oh, I see," Lily says. "Can we have the box of film, please?" "Sure, here you go," Mom says, giving them the box. "But be careful with it. It's very special. And don't forget to turn off the film camera when you're done." "Thank you, Mom," Lily and Sam say. They take the box and shake it. Then they open it and put the new film in the film camera. They turn on the film camera again and continue making their film. They are very happy. They finish their film and show it to Mom. Mom is very proud of them. She hugs them and gives them a slice of cake. The cake is warm and yummy. Lily and Sam think it is the best cake ever. They think their film is the best film ever, too. They love their mom and their toys and their film camera. They have a wonderful day. Anna likes to ride her bike. She has a red bike with a bell and a basket. She puts her teddy bear in the basket and rides to the park. She likes to see the flowers and the birds and the swings. At the park, she sees a big rabbit. The rabbit is brown and fluffy and has long ears. Anna thinks the rabbit is cute. She wants to be friends with the rabbit. She takes a carrot from her basket and holds it out to the rabbit. "Hello, rabbit," she says. "Do you want a carrot? I have a carrot for you. You can share it with me." The rabbit hops closer to Anna. It sniffs the carrot and nibbles it. Anna smiles and strokes the rabbit's fur. The rabbit makes a soft sound and wiggles its nose. Anna and the rabbit are happy. They eat the carrot together and play in the grass. Anna gives the rabbit a hug and says, "You are a nice rabbit. I like you." But then, a noisy dog comes running to the park. The dog is black and white and has a loud bark. It sees the rabbit and chases it. The rabbit is scared and runs away. Anna is scared too. She grabs her bike and her teddy bear and rides away from the dog. "Go away, dog!" she shouts. "Leave the rabbit alone! You are a bad dog. You are a noisy dog." The dog stops and looks at Anna. It wags its tail and barks again. It wants to play with Anna and the rabbit. It does not understand why they are afraid. Anna rides to the other side of the park. She looks for the rabbit, but she cannot see it. She hopes the rabbit is safe and finds a new carrot. She feels sad and misses the rabbit. She rides back home and tells her mom about the rabbit and the dog. Her mom hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. Sometimes dogs and rabbits don't get along. But maybe you will see the rabbit again. Maybe you can bring it another carrot." Anna nods and smiles. She hopes so too. She likes to ride her bike and make new friends. She likes carrots and rabbits and teddy bears. She does not like noisy dogs. Jen and Sam are friends. They like to play together. Jen has a bike. Sam has a ball. They want to sell their toys and buy new ones. They go to the park. They put a sign that says "Toys for sale". They wait for people to come. A boy comes. He looks at the bike. He says, "How much is the bike?" Jen says, "Five dollars." The boy says, "That is too much. I only have three dollars." Jen says, "No, the bike is good. It is fast and fun. You can exercise with it." The boy says, "I don't want to exercise. I want to play." He looks at the ball. He says, "How much is the ball?" Sam says, "Four dollars." The boy says, "That is too much. I only have three dollars." Sam says, "No, the ball is good. It is bouncy and colorful. You can be creative with it." The boy says, "I don't want to be creative. I want to score." He walks away. He does not buy anything. Jen and Sam are sad. They do not sell their toys. They do not buy new ones. They look at each other. They smile. They say, "We still have our toys. We can still play." They get on the bike and kick the ball. They have fun. They are happy. Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There are many slides and swings and sand in the park. "Look, Sam, there is a big slide!" Tim says. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. He is not afraid of the slide. He likes to go fast. Sam follows Tim, but he is anxious. He does not like the slide. He thinks it is too high and too scary. He stops at the top of the ladder and looks down. He feels his heart beat fast. "Come on, Sam, it is fun!" Tim says. He sits on the slide and starts to slide down. He laughs and shouts. Sam wants to be brave like Tim, but he cannot move. He holds on to the ladder and cries. He wants his mom. "Mommy, mommy, help me!" Sam calls. His mom hears him and runs to the slide. She climbs up the ladder and hugs Sam. "It is okay, Sam, I am here," she says. She picks him up and carries him down the ladder. She kisses his cheek and wipes his tears. "Thank you, mommy," Sam says. He feels better. "Maybe you can try the slide another day, when you are ready," she says. "Or you can play with something else. What do you want to do?" Sam looks around the park. He sees a sandbox with many toys. He sees Tim waiting for him with a smile. "I want to play with Tim in the sand," Sam says. He holds his mom's hand and walks to the sandbox. He sees a truck and a shovel. He starts to dig and build with Tim. He forgets about the slide. He is happy. Tom and Mia were bored. They wanted to play, but it was raining outside. They could not go to the park or the zoo. They looked around the house for something fun to do. "Let's go to the attic!" Mia said. "Maybe we can find some toys or books there." "OK!" Tom agreed. "But we have to be careful. The stairs are steep and the floor is dusty." They climbed up the stairs and opened the door to the attic. It was dark and cold. They saw some boxes, some clothes, some books, and some old things. "Look!" Tom said. "There is a red ball. Let's play with it." He picked up the ball and threw it to Mia. Mia caught it and threw it back. They laughed and played catch for a while. Then, the ball bounced off a box and rolled under a table. Tom went to get it. He bent down and reached for the ball. But he felt something wet and slimy. He screamed and jumped back. "What is it?" Mia asked. She ran to Tom and looked under the table. There was a big green frog under the table. It had red eyes and a long tongue. It croaked and looked at them. "Hello, frog," Mia said. "Are you lost? How did you get here?" The frog croaked again. It seemed to say, "I came from the pond. I was looking for a place to swim. But I got lost in the rain. Can you help me?" Tom and Mia felt sorry for the frog. They decided to help it. They found a bucket and filled it with water. They put the frog in the bucket and carried it down the stairs. "Bye, frog," they said. "We hope you find your way back to the pond." The frog thanked them and hopped out of the bucket. It swam in a puddle and then jumped into the grass. It waved its webbed feet at them and croaked happily. Tom and Mia smiled and waved back. They were not bored anymore. They had made a new friend. Sam liked to run and play with his dog, Rex. They would chase each other in the park and have fun. One day, Sam saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. He ran up the hill with Rex, but he did not know that the hill was very steep and slippery. Sam lost his balance and fell down the hill. He rolled and rolled until he hit a rock. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and could not breathe well. Rex barked and ran to him, licking his face. Sam was scared and cried for help. A lady who was walking by heard Sam and Rex. She called 911 and waited with them until the ambulance came. The paramedics put Sam on a stretcher and gave him oxygen. They told him he had hurt his lung and needed to go to the hospital. Sam held Rex's paw and said he was sorry. At the hospital, the doctor checked Sam's lung and said he had a small tear. He said Sam would be fine, but he had to stay in bed for a few days and take medicine. He also said Sam was lucky that Rex was with him and that the lady helped him. He said Sam should be more careful next time and not run on slippery hills. Sam nodded and thanked the doctor. He hugged Rex and said he loved him. He also said he regretted running up the hill and hurting his lung. He learned his lesson and promised to be more safe. He was glad he was fine and that Rex was his best friend. Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play at the park. They both loved the swing, but there was only one swing. They took turns to push each other and have fun. One day, a big boy came to the park. He saw the swing and wanted to use it. He did not ask Lily and Ben, he just pushed them away and jumped on the swing. He swung very high and laughed. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They wanted their swing back. They waited for the big boy to finish, but he did not. He kept swinging and swinging. "Hey, that's our swing!" Lily shouted. "We were here first!" "Too bad, I'm bigger than you!" the big boy said. "Go away!" Lily and Ben did not go away. They were alert and brave. They had a plan. They waited for the right moment, when the big boy was swinging back. Then they ran to the swing and grabbed the ropes. They pulled hard and made the big boy stop. "Let go of me!" the big boy yelled. "You're mean!" "No, you're mean!" Ben said. "You took our swing without asking!" Lily and Ben did not let go. They made the big boy get off the swing. They got on the swing together and smiled. "We did it!" Lily said. "We got our swing back!" They pushed each other and had fun. The big boy left the park. He learned a lesson. Lily and Ben were happy. They were good friends. The end. Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a fly on a flower. Lily wanted to examine the fly. She moved closer to the flower. "Be careful, Lily," Ben said. "The flower is fragile. You might break it." Lily did not listen. She reached out her hand to touch the fly. The fly buzzed and flew away. Lily was sad. She wanted to see the fly. She looked at the flower. She saw that she had broken one of its petals. The petal was on the ground. Lily felt sorry. She had hurt the flower. She picked up the petal and gave it to Ben. "I'm sorry, Ben," she said. "I broke the flower. Can we fix it?" Ben shook his head. "No, Lily. We can't fix the flower. But we can say sorry to it. And we can be more gentle next time." Lily nodded. She put the petal back on the flower. She said sorry to the flower. She hugged Ben. They went to play with something else. Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside with their ball and their bikes. But one day, their mom said they had to stay inside. She said a big storm was coming. A storm with a lot of wind and rain. She said it was called a hurricane. "What is a hurricane?" Tim asked. "It is a very strong storm that can break things and make a lot of noise," mom said. "We have to be safe and stay in our house until it goes away." Tim and Sam were scared. They did not like storms. They hugged mom and went to their room. They took their toys and books and made a fort with their blankets. They crawled inside and held each other tight. They heard the wind howl and the rain pound on the roof. They heard things crash and bang outside. They closed their eyes and wished the storm would stop. After a long time, the noise got quieter. They peeked out of their fort and saw mom smiling at them. "The hurricane is over," she said. "You were very brave, boys. Let's go see if everything is okay outside." Tim and Sam followed mom to the door. They saw the sun shining and the birds singing. They saw some branches and leaves on the ground, but their house and their bikes were fine. They cheered and ran outside. They hugged mom and thanked her for keeping them safe. They played with their ball and their bikes again. They were happy the hurricane was gone. Sara and Tom are playing with cardboard boxes in the living room. They like to make forts and tunnels with the boxes. They also like to hide from each other and say "boo!". One day, Sara has a clever idea. She cuts a hole in one of the boxes and puts a blanket over it. She tells Tom, "I have a surprise for you. Come and see!" Tom is curious. He follows Sara to the box. He sees the blanket and wonders what is under it. He lifts the blanket and looks inside. He sees nothing but darkness. "Where are you, Sara?" he asks. "Boo!" Sara shouts from behind him. She has hidden behind the couch and waited for him to look in the box. She jumps out and makes him jump too. Tom laughs and says, "You are so clever, Sara! You tricked me!" Sara laughs too and says, "It was fun, Tom! Do you want to try it too?" Tom nods and says, "Yes, let's do it again!" They take turns hiding and scaring each other with the cardboard box and the blanket. They have a lot of fun and giggle a lot. They love playing with cardboard. Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today it is raining. They are sad. "Can we go out?" Anna asks her mom. "No, it is wet and cold. You will get sick," mom says. Anna and Ben look at the window. They see a big puddle. They want to jump in it. "Look, mom, an umbrella!" Ben says. He points to a closet. He sees a colorful umbrella. It has red, yellow, blue and green stripes. "Can we use it?" Anna asks. Mom thinks. She smiles. "OK, but only for a little while. And stay close to the house," she says. Anna and Ben are happy. They take the umbrella and run outside. They open it and hold it together. They feel cozy and dry. They go to the puddle. They jump in it. They make a big splash. They laugh. They see a worm. It is brown and slimy. It wriggles in the water. "Hello, worm!" Anna says. "Yuck, worm!" Ben says. They hear a noise. It is a bird. It is black and white. It has a long beak. It flies to the puddle. It sees the worm. "Uh-oh, worm!" Anna says. "Run, worm!" Ben says. The bird swoops down. It grabs the worm. It flies away. Anna and Ben are shocked. They feel sorry for the worm. They look at each other. They hug the umbrella. They go back to the house. They tell mom what they saw. Mom hugs them. She says they are brave and kind. They are warm and happy. They love the colorful umbrella. It is their friend. Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. Mama says, "You can dress up for your party. What do you want to wear?" Anna says, "I want to wear a pink dress and a crown. I want to be a princess." Ben says, "I want to wear a cape and a mask. I want to be a superhero." Mama smiles and says, "You can wear what you like. But remember to be modest. Don't show off or brag. Be kind and share with your friends." Anna and Ben nod and say, "Okay, Mama. We will be modest." They go to their room and dress up. They look at each other and laugh. They are ready for their party. They go downstairs and see a big cake and many balloons. They see their friends and hug them. They play games and sing songs. They have a lot of fun. When it is time to blow the candles, Mama says, "Make a wish. What do you wish for?" Anna and Ben close their eyes and think. They have the same wish. They wish to be happy and healthy. They wish to have more birthdays together. They wish to always love each other. They open their eyes and blow the candles. They clap and cheer. They cut the cake and share it with their friends. They say thank you to Mama and Papa. They are very happy. They are modest. They are twins. Sam and Lily were waiting for their dad to come home. He worked on a big boat in the navy. He was away for a long time, but today he would arrive. They looked out of the window and saw a car pull up. It was their dad! He got out of the car and waved at them. He had a big bag and a nice hat. "Hi, kids!" he said. "I missed you so much!" Sam and Lily ran to the door and hugged him. They were so happy to see him. They asked him many questions about his boat and his work. "Let me show you something," he said. He opened his bag and took out two small boats. They were blue and white, like the navy. He gave one to Sam and one to Lily. "These are for you," he said. "They are models of the boat I work on. You can play with them and pretend you are in the navy too." Sam and Lily thanked him and smiled. They loved their dad and their new boats. They went to the living room and played with them on the floor. They made boat noises and imagined they were sailing on the sea. Their dad watched them and smiled too. He was glad to be home. Lily liked to look at the big books with many pictures. They were books about history. History was what happened before Lily was born. She saw people and animals and places that were different from now. One day, she found a book with a picture of a big gray animal with a long nose and big ears. She had never seen this animal before. She asked her mom, "What is this?" Her mom said, "That is an elephant. Elephants live in far away lands. They are very smart and strong. They can use their noses to pick up things and spray water." Lily was amazed. She wanted to see an elephant. She asked her mom, "Can we go to see an elephant?" Her mom said, "Maybe one day, we can go to the zoo. The zoo has many animals from different places. But we have to be kind and respectful to them. They are not toys. They have feelings and families too." Lily nodded. She understood. She loved animals. She wanted to learn more about them. The next day, Lily went to the park with her dad. She saw a big gray thing on the ground. It looked like the elephant in the book. She ran to it and touched it. It was soft and fluffy. She said, "Dad, look! It's an elephant!" Her dad laughed. He said, "No, Lily, that's not an elephant. That's a stuffed toy. Someone left it here. Maybe they lost it or forgot it." Lily felt ashamed. She made a mistake. She did not recognize the toy. She thought it was real. She said, "Sorry, dad. I was wrong. It's not an elephant. It's a toy." Her dad hugged her. He said, "It's okay, Lily. You don't have to be ashamed. You are still learning. You have a good imagination. And you have a good heart. You care about animals. That's what matters." Lily smiled. She felt better. She said, "Thank you, dad. I love you. And I love elephants. And toys. Can we take this one home?" Her dad said, "Sure, Lily. Maybe we can find the owner. Or maybe we can keep it. But only if you promise to take good care of it. And to read more books about history. And to see real elephants someday." Lily said, "I promise, dad. I will do all that. And I will be kind and respectful to all animals. And to you. And to mom. And to everyone." Her dad said, "That's my girl. You make me proud. Now let's go home and have some cookies. And maybe watch a movie about elephants." Lily said, "Yay! That sounds fun. Let's go, dad. And let's go, elephant. You are my new friend." The end. Lily did not like meat. She did not like how it looked, how it smelled, or how it tasted. She only liked fruits and vegetables. They were colorful, sweet, and crunchy. One day, her mom made meat for dinner. She put a big piece on Lily's plate. Lily looked at it and felt sick. She pushed her plate away and said, "No, thank you. I do not want meat." Her mom frowned and said, "Lily, you have to eat meat. It is important for your health. It has protein and iron. They make you strong and smart." Lily shook her head and said, "No, mom. I do not need meat. I have protein and iron from other foods. I eat beans, nuts, eggs, and cheese. They are yummy and good for me." Her mom sighed and said, "Lily, I know you like those foods, but you also need to try new things. Meat is not bad. It can be tasty and tender. Why don't you give it a chance? Just one bite, please." Lily refused. She did not want to try meat. She did not care if it was important. She did not think it was tasty or tender. She thought it was gross and hard. She said, "No, mom. I do not like meat. I will not eat it. Please, can I have more salad?" Her mom was sad and angry. She did not know what to do with Lily. She wanted her to eat well and be healthy. She said, "Lily, you are being very stubborn and rude. You have to eat what I make for you. You cannot have more salad until you finish your meat." Lily was sad and scared. She did not want to make her mom unhappy. She loved her mom. But she also did not want to eat meat. She hated meat. She said, "Mom, I am sorry. I do not mean to be stubborn and rude. But I really do not like meat. It makes me feel bad. Can we please have something else?" Her mom looked at Lily and saw her tears. She felt sorry for her. She realized that Lily was not trying to be difficult. She was just being honest. She said, "Lily, I am sorry too. I do not mean to be harsh and unfair. I just want you to be healthy and happy. I understand that you do not like meat. Maybe we can find another way to eat it. How about we make some meatballs with sauce and cheese? They are soft and cheesy. Maybe you will like them better." Lily thought about it and said, "Maybe, mom. Can I help you make them?" Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. You can help me roll the meatballs and sprinkle the cheese. Come on, let's go to the kitchen." Lily and her mom hugged and went to the kitchen. They made meatballs with sauce and cheese. Lily tried one and said, "It is not so bad, mom. It is a little bit yummy." Her mom was happy and said, "I am glad, Lily. You are a brave and good girl. Thank you for trying something new." Lily and her mom ate their dinner and enjoyed it. They learned that sometimes it is important to try new things, but also to respect each other's feelings. They loved each other very much. Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the big building where they lived. One day, they found a shiny button in the hall. It was red and round and had a picture of a fire on it. Tom and Lily wondered what it did. "Let's push it and see," Tom said. "No, don't do that. It might be dangerous," Lily said. But Tom was curious and pushed the button anyway. Suddenly, a loud noise came from the wall. It was a siren that made Tom and Lily feel scared. They saw a door open and people came out. They looked angry and worried. "What did you do?" one of them shouted. Tom and Lily did not know what to say. They saw another door open. It was the elevator. It had a sign that said "down". Tom and Lily thought maybe they could hide in there. "Come on, let's go in the elevator," Tom said. "OK, but hurry," Lily said. They ran to the elevator and got in. They pushed another button that had a picture of a star on it. They hoped it would take them to a nice place. But the elevator did not move. It was stuck. Tom and Lily felt trapped. They heard more sirens and people outside. They wished they had not pushed the button. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they could go back to their home. They hugged each other and waited for someone to help them. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that some buttons are not for playing. They learned that some buttons are dangerous. They learned that some buttons can make things scatter. Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park and read books together. Lily was very intelligent. She knew many words and facts. Sam was very brave. He liked to try new things and explore. One day, they went to the ocean with their parents. They had never seen the ocean before. They were very excited. They saw the big waves, the blue water, and the white sand. They also saw many fish, crabs, and shells. "Look, Lily, a starfish!" Sam said, pointing to a red and orange shape on the sand. "Can we touch it?" "I don't know, Sam. Maybe it is not nice to touch it. Maybe it hurts," Lily said, looking at the starfish with curiosity. "Let's ask Mom and Dad," Sam said, grabbing Lily's hand. "Come on, run with me!" They ran to their parents, who were sitting on a blanket. They showed them the starfish and asked if they could touch it. "Sure, you can touch it gently, but don't take it away from the ocean. It needs the water to live," Mom said, smiling. "Okay, Mom. Thank you," Lily and Sam said, running back to the starfish. They touched it carefully, feeling its rough and bumpy skin. They saw its tiny eyes and mouth. They wondered what it ate and how it moved. They learned something new about the ocean and its creatures. They felt happy and amazed. They thanked the starfish for letting them touch it and left it on the sand. They ran to the water and splashed each other, laughing and having fun. They loved the ocean and each other. They were best friends. Sara loves to watch the otters at the zoo. They are so funny and cute. They swim and play and slide on the rocks. Sometimes they hold hands when they sleep. Sara thinks they are the best animals ever. One day, Sara goes to the zoo with her mom and dad. She runs to the otter pool and looks for her favorite otter. His name is Ollie. He has a brown fur and a white belly. He is very friendly and smart. He likes to wave at Sara and make noises. "Hi, Ollie!" Sara says. "Do you want to play with me?" Ollie hears Sara and swims to the edge of the pool. He looks at her with his big eyes and nods his head. He makes a squeaky sound. "Okay, Ollie, let's play!" Sara says. "Can you dance for me?" Ollie likes to dance. He jumps out of the water and spins around. He shakes his tail and claps his paws. He makes Sara laugh. "Wow, Ollie, you are a great dancer!" Sara says. "Can I dance with you?" Sara starts to dance too. She hops and twirls and waves her arms. She and Ollie dance together and have fun. Sara's mom and dad watch them and smile. They think Sara and Ollie are very cute. They are happy to see Sara enjoy the zoo. "Look at them, they are having a blast!" Sara's mom says. "Yes, they are," Sara's dad says. "They are not normal, they are special." Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with many feathers. The bird was red and blue and green. It was very pretty. "Look, Sara, a bird!" Ben said. "Can we touch it?" Sara was not sure. She was a little frightened of the bird. She thought it might bite or scratch. She said, "No, Ben, we should not touch it. It is wild. We can look at it from here." The bird saw Sara and Ben. It was not happy. It did not like people. It wanted to be alone. It opened its wings and tail. It made a loud noise. It wanted to scare Sara and Ben away. It displayed its feathers. Sara and Ben were very frightened. They ran away from the bird. They hid behind a tree. They said, "Wow, that bird was angry. It showed us its feathers. It was very big and noisy." They waited until the bird flew away. Then they went back to their mom. They told her what they saw. She said, "That was a peacock. It is a kind of bird that has many feathers. It displays its feathers when it feels threatened or wants to impress. It is not very friendly. You did the right thing to leave it alone." Sara and Ben nodded. They learned something new. They still thought the peacock was pretty, but they did not want to touch it. They played with other things in the park. They had fun. Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a red ribbon on it. "What is in the box?" Anna asks. "I don't know. Let's open it!" Ben says. They pull the ribbon and lift the lid. Inside, they see a shiny toy car. It has four wheels, a horn, and a steering wheel. It looks like a real car, but smaller. "Wow! It is a car!" Anna says. "It is my car!" Ben says. "No, it is mine!" Anna says. They both reach for the car and start to pull it. They do not want to share. They do not care about the box or the ribbon. They only want the car. "Stop! Stop!" a voice says. They look up and see their mom. She looks sad and angry. "What are you doing?" she asks. "We are playing with the car!" Ben says. "It is not a car. It is a gift. A very important gift. It is for your grandpa. He is sick and he can't drive anymore. He loves cars. We wanted to make him happy. But you ruined it. You ripped the ribbon and the box. You scratched the car. You were selfish and greedy. You did not think about anyone else. You did not touch the gift with love. You touched it with hate." Anna and Ben feel ashamed. They did not know the gift was for their grandpa. They love their grandpa. They want to make him happy. They did not mean to hurt the gift or their mom. "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, grandpa. We did not know. We were wrong. We will share the car. We will fix the ribbon and the box. We will touch the gift with love. We will be good twins." they say. Mom smiles and hugs them. She is glad they learned their lesson. She hopes they will remember to be kind and generous. She hopes they will touch everything with love. She hopes they will make their grandpa happy. She tells them she loves them. They tell her they love her too. They are a happy family. Lila loved to sing. She sang every day, in her room, in the garden, in the car. She sang happy songs, sad songs, silly songs. She sang with her voice, with her toys, with her hands. She sang because it made her feel good. One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. She ran to the edge and threw some bread for them. She saw a white swan with a long neck and a black beak. She thought it was beautiful. She wanted to sing to it. She opened her mouth and sang a song she made up. It was about the swan and how pretty it was. She sang loud and clear, hoping the swan would hear her. But the swan did not like her song. It hissed and flapped its wings. It splashed water at her and scared her. Lila stopped singing and ran back to her mom and dad. She felt sad and hurt. "Why did the swan do that?" she asked. "I just wanted to sing to it." Her mom hugged her and said, "Sometimes, not everyone likes the same things. The swan may have a different way of saying hello, or it may have been protecting its space. It does not mean your song was bad. Your song was beautiful, because it came from your heart. You should not stop singing because of one swan. There are many other animals and people who would love to hear your song." Lila nodded and smiled. She understood. She looked around and saw a squirrel on a tree, a dog on a leash, a boy on a bike. She decided to sing to them instead. She sang a new song, about the park and how fun it was. She sang with joy and confidence. She sang because it made her happy. The end. Lily liked to go to the sea with her mom and dad. She liked to play in the sand and look for shells. She also liked to watch the big waves and the birds. One day, Lily saw a chubby seal on a rock. The seal was brown and had a funny nose. Lily wanted to say hello to the seal, but her mom said it was too far. Lily asked her dad to bring her closer to the seal, but her dad said it was not safe. Lily was sad. She wanted to be friends with the chubby seal. She thought the seal looked lonely. She decided to make a gift for the seal. She found a big shell and some seaweed. She tied the seaweed around the shell and made a necklace. Lily waved to the seal and threw the necklace into the water. She hoped the seal would like it. She waited and watched. The seal saw the necklace and swam to get it. The seal put the necklace around its neck and looked at Lily. The seal smiled and clapped its flippers. Lily was happy. She smiled and clapped her hands. She had made a new friend. The seal had liked her gift. Lily and the seal waved to each other and said goodbye. Lily went back to her mom and dad and told them about the chubby seal. They hugged her and said she was very kind. Lily felt warm and proud. She loved the sea and the seal. Anna and Ben are playing on the shore. They like to dig in the sand and look for shells. They see a big boat on the water. It has a hose that can spray water very high. "Wow, look at that boat!" Ben says. "It can make a fountain with water!" "Can we go and see it?" Anna asks. "OK, but we have to be careful. The water might be spicy," Ben says. They run towards the boat, holding hands. They wave at the people on the boat. The people wave back and smile. They turn on the hose and spray water in the air. The water makes a rainbow in the sun. Anna and Ben laugh and clap. They feel the water on their faces. It is not spicy. It is cool and fresh. "Thank you, thank you!" they shout to the people on the boat. The people on the boat say, "You're welcome, you're welcome! Have fun on the shore!" Tom is a boy who likes to play with cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. But one day, he breaks his favorite car. It is a red car with a big engine and shiny wheels. He feels sad and cries. His mom hears him cry and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken car and hugs Tom. She says, "Don't worry, Tom. We can repair your car. Do you want to help me?" Tom nods and wipes his tears. He likes to help his mom. They go to the kitchen and find some glue and tape. They put the pieces of the car together and stick them with glue and tape. They wait for the glue to dry and then test the car. It works! Tom is happy and says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best repair tutor!" His mom smiles and says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good helper." They decide to go outside and play with the car. But when they open the door, they see that it is raining. The sky is gray and the ground is wet. Tom frowns and says, "Oh no, we can't play outside. The car will get wet and break again." His mom thinks and says, "That's true, Tom. But we can play inside. Do you want to make a race track with some books and boxes?" Tom nods and smiles. He likes to make race tracks. They go back to the living room and find some books and boxes. They arrange them on the floor and make a race track. They put the car on the track and make it zoom and crash. They have fun and laugh. Tom says, "This is the best race track ever!" His mom says, "I agree, Tom. You are very creative." They play until it is time for dinner. They are happy and forget about the rain. Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. Mom said she had a new dish for them to try. It was shrimp with rice and sauce. "What is shrimp?" Lily asked. She had never seen it before. "Shrimp are small animals that live in the water. They are pink and have tails. You can eat them with your fingers or a fork," Mom explained. Lily and Ben looked at their plates. The shrimp looked funny to them. They were not sure if they would like them. "Can we test them first?" Ben asked. He was a bit scared of new foods. "Of course, you can test them. Just take a small bite and see if you like it. If you don't, you can have something else," Mom said. Lily and Ben picked up a shrimp each. They smelled it, touched it, and nibbled it. They made faces at each other. "How is it?" Mom asked. "It's good!" Lily said. She liked the shrimp. It was soft and juicy. "It's okay," Ben said. He did not like the shrimp very much. It was too salty for him. Mom smiled. She was happy that they tried something new. She gave them some more rice and sauce. "You are both very brave. You are not lazy like the cat. He only eats fish and milk," Mom said. Lily and Ben laughed. They looked at the cat, who was sleeping on the couch. He did not care about shrimp or rice or sauce. He was too lazy to test anything new. Ben and Lily love to play in the pool. They have a big yellow ball that they throw to each other. Sometimes they splash water on their faces and laugh. They are very happy. One day, Mom brings them a snack. She has a bowl of grapes and some crackers. Ben and Lily get out of the pool and sit on the towels. They say thank you to Mom and start to eat. But then, a naughty bird comes and tries to take the grapes. It flies over the bowl and pecks at the fruit. Ben and Lily are scared and angry. They don't want to share their grapes with the bird. They look at their ball. They have an idea. They pick up the ball and throw it at the bird. The ball hits the bird and makes it go away. The bird squawks and flies to a tree. Ben and Lily cheer and hug each other. They are very brave. They finish their grapes and crackers and go back to the pool. They play with their ball and splash water on their faces and laugh. They are very happy. They have a dependable ball that helps them. They love their ball. Ben and Mia went to the pet shop with Mom. They wanted to choose a new friend to play with. There were many animals in the pet shop. Some were furry, some had scales, some had feathers. Ben liked the furry animals. He saw a brown dog with a wagging tail. He said, "Mom, can we choose this dog? He is so furry and cute. He can run and fetch and cuddle with me." Mia liked the scaly animals. She saw a green lizard with a long tongue. She said, "Mom, can we choose this lizard? He is so scaly and cool. He can climb and stick and change colors." Mom smiled and said, "You both have good taste, but we can only choose one animal. How can we decide?" Ben and Mia thought hard. They did not want to fight. They wanted to share. They looked around the pet shop. They saw a big cage with a furry and scaly animal. It was a guinea pig with a scale on its back. It was a special guinea pig. Ben and Mia said, "Wow, look at that! A furry and scaly animal. He is perfect for us. Can we choose him, Mom?" Mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can choose him. He is a very rare and special guinea pig. He needs a lot of love and care. What will you name him?" Ben and Mia looked at each other and said, "We will name him Furry Scale. He is our new friend." Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the road and make noises. One day, Tom has a new car. It is big and red and shiny. It has a button on the side. Tom says, "This is my new car. It can change into a robot. Watch this!" He pushes the button and the car changes into a robot. The robot has arms and legs and eyes and a mouth. It makes a loud sound. Lily is scared. She says, "Tom, I don't like your new car. It is scary. Can you change it back?" Tom says, "No, I like my new car. It is cool. It can do many things. Look, it can walk and talk and dance." He makes the robot walk and talk and dance. The robot says, "I am a robot. I am strong and smart and fast. I need fuel to work. Give me fuel." Tom says, "Fuel? What is fuel?" The robot says, "Fuel is what I eat. I eat metal and plastic and wood. Give me fuel or I will be angry." Tom says, "I don't have fuel. I only have cars and trucks and toys." The robot says, "That is fuel. Give me your cars and trucks and toys or I will take them." Tom is sad. He says, "No, please don't take my cars and trucks and toys. They are mine. I like them. They are fun." The robot says, "Too bad. I need fuel. I will take them anyway." The robot grabs Tom's cars and trucks and toys and puts them in his mouth. He crunches them and swallows them. He makes a happy sound. Lily is very scared. She says, "Tom, stop the robot. He is bad. He is eating your cars and trucks and toys. He will eat us too." Tom says, "I don't know how to stop him. He won't listen to me. He won't change back. He is too big and strong." The robot says, "I am not bad. I am hungry. I need more fuel. You are fuel too. Come here." The robot reaches for Tom and Lily. They scream and run away. But the robot is faster. He catches them and puts them in his mouth. He crunches them and swallows them. He makes a very happy sound. He says, "I am a robot. I am full and healthy and happy. I like fuel. I want more fuel." He looks around for more fuel. He sees a house. He walks towards the house. The end. Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. Lily wanted to go on the slide, but Tom was scared. "Come on, Tom, follow me!" Lily said. "The slide is fun!" "No, Lily, the slide is too high. I don't want to go," Tom said. Lily was angry. She thought Tom was a baby. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She looked down and saw Tom sitting on a bench. She shouted at him. "Tom, you are a baby! You are not fit to be my friend! I don't like you anymore!" Tom felt sad. He wanted to be Lily's friend, but he was afraid of the slide. He saw a man walking by with a dog. The dog was cute and fluffy. Tom liked dogs. He got up and followed the man and the dog. "Hello, mister, can I pet your dog?" Tom asked. The man smiled and nodded. He said his dog's name was Max. Tom petted Max and felt happy. He forgot about Lily and the slide. But the man was not nice. He was a bad man. He was a judge who liked to take children away from their parents. He saw that Tom was alone and had no one to watch him. He had a plan. He pretended to be friendly and asked Tom if he wanted to see more dogs. "Sure, mister, I love dogs!" Tom said. The man took Tom by the hand and led him to his car. He said he had more dogs in his car. He opened the door and pushed Tom inside. He locked the door and drove away. Tom was scared. He realized he made a mistake. He wanted to go back to the park. He wanted to see Lily. He wanted to say sorry. He cried and screamed, but no one heard him. The man was mean and hit him. He said he would never see his parents or Lily again. The end. Sara and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They like to build towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They use different colors and shapes to make their creations. "Look, Sara, I made a big tower!" Ben says, showing his block tower to his sister. "It is very tall and smooth. Do you like it?" "Yes, Ben, it is very nice. But I like my bridge more. It is long and strong. It can hold many cars and trains. See?" Sara says, pointing to her block bridge on the floor. They hear a loud sound from the kitchen. It is their mom, who is cooking dinner. She drops a pot on the floor by accident. The pot makes a big noise and rolls away. "What was that sound?" Ben asks, scared. He runs to the kitchen to see what happened. Sara follows him, but she trips on her bridge. Her bridge falls down and breaks. The blocks scatter everywhere. She feels sad and angry. "Ben, you made my bridge end!" Sara cries, blaming her brother. "It was my best bridge ever. Now it is gone. You are mean!" Ben sees the mess and feels sorry. He did not mean to make Sara's bridge end. He hugs her and says, "I am sorry, Sara. I did not make your bridge end. It was the pot sound. It made me run. I did not see your bridge. It was very nice. Can we make it again?" Sara stops crying and nods. She hugs Ben back and says, "OK, Ben. We can make it again. But we have to be careful. We do not want to make more sounds. Mom will be mad." They go back to the living room and pick up the blocks. They work together to make a new bridge. It is longer and stronger than before. They are happy and proud. Mom comes to the living room and sees their bridge. She smiles and says, "Wow, Sara and Ben, you made a great bridge. It is very smooth and colorful. I am proud of you. Do you want to help me set the table for dinner?" Sara and Ben say yes. They put away their blocks and go to the kitchen. They help Mom set the table. They are hungry and excited. They have a nice dinner and talk about their bridge. They love each other. The end. Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play on the beach. One day, they saw a big crab in the sand. It had red claws and black eyes. Tom and Lily wanted to invite the crab to play with them. They went closer to the crab and said hello. The crab did not say anything. It looked angry and scared. Tom and Lily thought the crab was shy. They tried to be nice and gave it a lovely shell they found. The crab did not take the shell. It snapped its claws at them. Tom and Lily were sad and scared. They ran away from the crab. They wanted to find another friend to play with. But they did not see the big wave that was coming. The wave was very fast and strong. It washed Tom and Lily away from the shore. They screamed for help, but no one heard them. The crab saw them, but it did not care. It crawled back to its hole and hid. Tom and Lily were gone. The end. Tim and Jen are playing with their toys in the living room. They have many toys, but they like their cars the best. They make vroom-vroom noises and pretend to race each other. "Look, Jen, I have a new car!" Tim says, holding up a shiny red car. "It is very fast and powerful. It can go over any hill or bump." "Wow, Tim, your car is nice!" Jen says, admiring the car. "Where did you get it?" Tim smiles and says, "It was a surprise from Mom and Dad. They gave it to me this morning. They said it was a reward for being good and helping them." Jen feels a little sad. She wants a new car too. She has been good and helped Mom and Dad, but they did not give her anything. She wonders if they love Tim more than her. "Can I see your car, Tim?" Jen asks, hoping to play with it. "Sure, Jen, you can see it, but you cannot touch it," Tim says, keeping the car close to him. "It is very special and expensive. Mom and Dad said it was a high price. They said I have to be careful with it and not let anyone else play with it." Jen feels even sadder. She thinks Tim is being mean and selfish. She does not want to see his car anymore. She wants to have her own car, or at least share with Tim. "Tim, that is not fair," Jen says, frowning. "You should share your toys with me. We are friends and siblings. Sharing is nice and fun." Tim shakes his head and says, "No, Jen, I cannot share this car with you. It is mine and only mine. You have your own toys. Go play with them." Jen feels angry and hurt. She does not like Tim's attitude. She thinks he is being a bad brother and a bad friend. She decides to teach him a lesson. She waits until Tim is not looking and grabs his car. She runs to the kitchen and hides behind the table. She hears Tim shouting and looking for his car. "Jen, where are you? Where is my car?" Tim yells, sounding scared and angry. "Give it back to me right now!" Jen does not answer. She looks at the car and sees a button on the side. She wonders what it does. She presses the button and gasps. The car opens up and reveals a secret compartment. Inside, there is a small toy robot. It is silver and shiny and has glowing eyes. It makes beep-beep noises and moves its arms and legs. Jen is amazed and delighted. She thinks the robot is very cool and cute. She forgets about Tim and his car. She plays with the robot and talks to it. "Hello, robot, what is your name?" Jen asks, smiling. The robot beeps and says, "Hello, Jen, my name is Robo. I am your new friend. I can do many things. I can sing, dance, tell jokes, and help you with anything." Jen is overjoyed. She thinks Robo is the best toy ever. She hugs him and says, "Robo, you are awesome. I love you. You are much better than Tim's car. You are not expensive or powerful. You are fun and friendly." Robo beeps and says, "I love you too, Jen. You are very kind and smart. You are much better than Tim. He is not fun or friendly. He is greedy and rude." Jen and Robo laugh and play together. They do not care about Tim or his car. They are happy and content. They are the best friends in the world. Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a hole in it. "Look, a cave!" Lily said. "Let's go inside!" Tom was scared. He did not like dark places. "No, it is too dark and cold. There might be bad things inside. Let's play somewhere else." He said. Lily was brave. She wanted to see what was in the cave. "Don't be scared, Tom. It will be fun. Maybe we will find treasure or animals or fairies. Come on, follow me!" She said. She ran to the cave and went inside. Tom did not want to be alone. He did not want to make Lily sad. He followed her to the cave. He held her hand. They walked inside. It was dark and cold. They could not see much. They heard strange noises. They felt scared. "Hello, who are you?" A voice said. Tom and Lily stopped. They saw a blue light. It was a blue bird. It was sitting on a nest. It had shiny feathers and a long tail. It looked nice. "Hello, we are Tom and Lily. We are playing in the park. We saw your cave and wanted to see what was inside. We are sorry if we bothered you." Lily said. The blue bird smiled. "You are not bothering me. You are welcome to my cave. I am Bluey. I live here with my eggs. They will hatch soon. Do you want to see them?" It said. Tom and Lily nodded. They were curious. They walked to the nest. They saw four blue eggs. They were pretty. They felt warm. "Wow, they are beautiful. When will they hatch?" Tom asked. "Soon, very soon. They will be like me. They will fly and sing and shine. They will be my friends. You can be my friends too. Do you want to stay and play with me?" Bluey asked. Tom and Lily looked at each other. They smiled. They liked Bluey. They wanted to stay and play with him. They nodded. "Yes, we want to stay and play with you. You are very nice. You have a nice cave. Can we see more of it?" Lily asked. Bluey clapped his wings. He was happy. He had new friends. He nodded. "Yes, you can see more of it. There are many things to see and do. Come, follow me. I will show you. But be careful. Do not touch anything. Some things are sharp or hot or break. Yield to me. I know the way." He said. Tom and Lily followed Bluey. They saw more of the cave. They saw rocks and crystals and water and fire. They saw colors and shapes and shadows and light. They saw more animals and plants and bugs and things. They played and learned and laughed and talked. They had fun. They were happy. They liked the cave. They liked Bluey. They were friends. Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. But sometimes Lily was bossy. She wanted to choose all the games and tell Ben what to do. One day, Lily had a secret. She found a shiny ring in the grass. She put it on her finger and felt very happy. She did not want to show Ben. She thought he would want it too. "Let's play hide and seek," she said to Ben. "You count to ten and I will hide." Ben nodded and started to count. Lily ran away and looked for a good hiding spot. She saw a big tree with a hole in it. She crawled inside and smiled. She felt safe and cozy. But then she heard a voice. It was a squirrel. It was living in the tree. It saw Lily's ring and wanted it. "Hey, what are you doing here?" the squirrel asked. "That's my ring. You stole it from me." Lily was scared. She did not know the ring belonged to the squirrel. She tried to take it off her finger, but it was stuck. "Please, don't be angry," she said to the squirrel. "I did not know. I will give it back to you." The squirrel was not happy. It wanted to teach Lily a lesson. It started to make loud noises and call its friends. "Help, help, there's a thief in my tree!" the squirrel shouted. "She took my ring and won't give it back!" Soon, many squirrels came to the tree. They poked their heads inside and saw Lily. They started to chatter and scold her. Lily felt very sorry. She wished she had shared her secret with Ben. He would have helped her. He was a good friend. She heard Ben calling her name. He had finished counting and was looking for her. "Lily, where are you?" he asked. "I can't find you." Lily wanted to answer him, but she was afraid of the squirrels. She hoped he would find her soon and save her from the bossy squirrels. She learned her lesson. She would never spread secrets again. Sara loved to ride her bike. She had a pink bike with a basket and a bell. She liked to pedal fast and feel the wind in her hair. She also liked to share her bike with her friends. She was very generous. One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a new girl sitting on a bench. She looked sad and lonely. Sara wanted to make her happy. She rode her bike to the bench and said hello. The girl smiled and said her name was Lily. "Do you want to ride my bike?" Sara asked. "It is very fun and easy. I can show you how to pedal and ring the bell." Lily nodded and thanked Sara. She got on the bike and Sara helped her balance. They rode around the park together, laughing and talking. Sara was glad she made a new friend. After a while, Sara and Lily were tired. They parked the bike near the bench and sat down. Sara's mom and dad came over and gave them some juice and cookies. They said it was time to go home. "Can I see you again?" Lily asked Sara. "Of course!" Sara said. "We can play with my bike anytime. You can even borrow it if you want. I don't mind." Lily hugged Sara and said she was very generous. She said she would come to the park again tomorrow. Sara was happy. She said goodbye to Lily and got on her bike. She pedaled home with her mom and dad. She was sleepy after a long day. She dreamed of riding her bike with Lily again. Ben loves rockets. He has many rockets in his room. He plays with them every day. He makes them fly and zoom and blast off. He does not like to share his rockets with anyone. One day, his friend Sam comes to his house. Sam likes rockets too. He sees Ben's rockets and wants to play with them. He asks Ben, "Can I play with your rockets, please?" Ben says, "No, they are mine. You cannot play with them. Go away." He is very mean to Sam. Sam feels sad and hurt. He says, "Okay, I will go away. But you are not a good friend." Sam leaves Ben's house. He goes to his own house. He has a big surprise in his house. His mom and dad give him a new rocket. It is bigger and better than Ben's rockets. It has lights and sounds and stickers. It is a very cool rocket. Sam is very happy. He thanks his mom and dad. He says, "I love you and I love my new rocket. Can I show it to Ben?" His mom and dad say, "Yes, you can. But be careful. Ben may not be nice to you. He may not like your rocket. He may be sour." Sam says, "I know. But I want to be a good friend. I want to share my rocket with him. Maybe he will change his mind and be nice to me." Sam takes his new rocket and goes to Ben's house. He knocks on the door. Ben opens the door. He sees Sam's new rocket. He is very surprised and jealous. He says, "Wow, what a cool rocket. Where did you get it?" Sam says, "My mom and dad gave it to me. It is my new rocket. Do you want to play with it?" Ben says, "Yes, I do. Can I play with it, please?" Sam says, "Yes, you can. But you have to share it with me. And you have to be nice to me. And you have to let me play with your rockets too." Ben thinks for a moment. He remembers how he was mean to Sam. He feels sorry and ashamed. He says, "Okay, I will. I am sorry for being mean to you. You are a good friend. Can we be friends again?" Sam says, "Yes, we can. I forgive you. Come on, let's play with our rockets together." They hug and smile. They play with their rockets. They have fun. They learn to share and be kind. They are happy. The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Be nice to your friends. Don't be sour. Lila and Rani were sisters who liked to play in the forest. They made spears from sticks and stones and pretended to hunt animals. One day, they saw a big rabbit hopping near a bush. They wanted to catch it for their dinner. "Let's test our spears," Lila whispered to Rani. "You go left and I go right. We will throw our spears at the same time." Rani nodded and they crept closer to the rabbit. They counted to three and threw their spears. But the rabbit was clever and saw them. It jumped away and ran into the bush. "Oh no, we missed!" Lila said. "The rabbit is too fast and smart." "Maybe we can trick it," Rani said. "Look, there is a carrot on the ground. We can use it as bait." Rani picked up the carrot and placed it near the bush. She hid behind a tree and waited. Lila hid behind another tree and held her spear. They hoped the rabbit would come out and eat the carrot. Soon, they heard a rustle in the bush. The rabbit poked its head out and sniffed the air. It saw the carrot and licked its lips. It hopped out of the bush and moved towards the carrot. "Now!" Rani shouted. She and Lila threw their spears again. This time, they hit the rabbit and it fell to the ground. "Yay, we got it!" Lila cheered. "We are good hunters!" They ran to the rabbit and picked it up. They were proud of their spears and their clever plan. They took the rabbit home and cooked it for their dinner. They shared it with their family and told them their story. Their family praised them and said they were brave and smart. Lila and Rani smiled and hugged each other. They loved to play in the forest. Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But sometimes they make a big mess. Mom says they have to clean up before dinner. Tom and Mia do not like to clean. They want to keep playing. Mom says cleaning is good for their muscles. She shows them how to lift and carry and bend and stretch. She says muscles are the parts of their body that make them strong and fast. Tom and Mia want to be strong and fast. They think cleaning might be fun. They start to clean up their toys. They put them in boxes and baskets and bags. They make a game of it. They see who can clean faster and who can clean more. They laugh and cheer and sing. They are very loud. Mom hears them from the kitchen. She smiles. She is happy that they are cleaning and having fun. She says they are good helpers. She says they can have a treat after dinner. Tom and Mia are happy too. They finish cleaning and hug Mom. They are proud of their muscles. They are hungry for their treat. Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play chess with their toy pieces. They had a big board with black and white squares. They moved their pieces and tried to catch the king. One day, they saw a big bird outside the window. It had yellow eyes and sharp claws. It looked hungry and angry. Lily and Ben wanted to see it better. They climbed on the sofa and opened the window. "Wow, look at that bird!" Lily said. "It is so big and strong. I wish I could soar like it." "Me too," Ben said. "But be careful, Lily. It might be dangerous." Lily did not listen. She leaned out of the window and waved her hand. She wanted to say hello to the bird. But the bird did not want to be friends. It saw Lily's hand and thought it was food. It flew towards her and grabbed her hand with its claws. "Ow, ow, ow!" Lily screamed. "Help, Ben, help!" Ben tried to pull Lily back, but he was too small and weak. The bird was too big and strong. It pulled Lily out of the window and soared away with her. Ben watched in horror as his friend disappeared in the sky. He cried and cried. He wished he had never opened the window. He wished he had never seen the bird. He wished he could play chess with Lily again. But it was too late. Lily was gone. Lily likes to sign. She signs with her hands and fingers when she talks to her mom and dad. They are deaf, so they sign too. Lily can hear, but she loves signing because it is fun and special. One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big bin with a sign on it. The sign has a picture of a can and a bottle and a word. Lily asks her mom what the word is. Her mom signs, "Recycle. It means to use things again, not waste them." Lily thinks that is a good idea. She wants to help. She looks around and sees a can on the ground. She picks it up and runs to the bin. She signs, "Recycle!" and throws the can in the bin. She feels happy. She sees a bottle on a bench. She picks it up and runs to the bin. She signs, "Recycle!" and throws the bottle in the bin. She feels happier. She sees a paper on the grass. She picks it up and runs to the bin. She signs, "Recycle!" and throws the paper in the bin. She feels happiest. She runs back to her mom and gives her a hug. She signs, "I recycled! I did not waste! I helped the park!" Her mom smiles and hugs her back. She signs, "You are a good girl. I am proud of you." Lily feels sleepy. She signs, "I am sleepy. Can we go home?" Her mom nods and signs, "Yes, we can. You worked hard today. You deserve a nap." They walk home, holding hands and signing. Lily is happy and sleepy. She loves to sign. Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and stones. Sometimes they found shiny things that they called jewels. They put them in a box and pretended they were pirates. One day, they found a big jewel that was red and sparkly. It looked like a ruby. Lily and Ben were very happy. They wanted to show it to their mom and dad. "Look, look, we found a jewel!" they shouted as they ran to the house. But when they got to the door, they saw a sign that said "Quiet please, baby sleeping". They remembered that their mom had a new baby sister for them. She was very small and needed a lot of sleep. Lily and Ben did not want to wake up the baby. They tiptoed inside and put the jewel on the table. Then they went to the baby's room and peeked through the door. They saw their mom holding the baby and smiling. "Can we see her?" Lily whispered. "Of course, come in, but be very quiet," their mom said. Lily and Ben went in and looked at the baby. She had tiny fingers and toes and a tuft of hair. She opened her eyes and looked at them. "Hi, baby, we are your big sister and brother," Ben said softly. The baby made a little noise and smiled. Lily and Ben smiled back. They thought the baby was the best jewel of all. Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the park. They want to see what is inside. "Let's open it!" Tim says. He pulls on the lid. "No, it's mine!" Sam says. He pushes Tim away. "I saw it first!" They start to fight. They pull and push and shout. The box does not open. A big dog comes by. He sees the box. He thinks it is a bone. He is mighty. He bites the lid. He breaks it. "Wow!" Tim and Sam say. They stop fighting. They look inside the box. There are many toys in the box. There are cars and balls and dolls and books. They are happy. "Can we share?" Tim asks. "Yes, we can share," Sam says. "We are friends." They smile. They play with the toys. They thank the dog. The dog wags his tail. He is happy too. One day, a little girl named Lila went to the park with her mom. She saw a big bush with many red berries. She liked berries very much. She ran to the bush and picked some berries in her hand. "Mom, look! I found berries!" she said. "Those are very pretty, Lila. But you should not eat them. They might be bad for you. Some berries are good, and some berries are not," her mom said. Lila nodded. She did not want to get sick. She looked around and saw a small bird on a branch. The bird was brown and had a yellow beak. It looked hungry and sad. "Mom, can I give some berries to the bird?" she asked. "That is very kind of you, Lila. Yes, you can give some berries to the bird. But be careful. Do not scare the bird. Be gentle and humble," her mom said. Lila smiled. She walked slowly to the bird and held out her hand with some berries. The bird looked at her and tilted its head. It saw the berries and hopped closer. It pecked at the berries and made a happy sound. "Thank you, little girl. You are very nice. These berries are good," the bird said. "You are welcome, little bird. I am glad you like them. You are very cute," Lila said. They became friends and shared the berries. Lila's mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of her daughter. She gave her a hug and a kiss. "You are a good girl, Lila. You have a big heart. You made the bird happy. And you made me happy, too," she said. "I love you, mom. And I love the bird, too," Lila said. They stayed at the park for a while and enjoyed the sun and the breeze. They had a wonderful day. Tom was a spoiled boy who always wanted new toys. He did not like to share with his friends or play nicely. One day, he saw a gun in his dad's closet. He thought it was a toy and he wanted to play with it. He took the gun and ran outside. He saw his friend Lily, who was playing with her doll. He wanted to scare her and make her cry. He pointed the gun at her and said, "Bang, bang, Lily! I have a gun and you don't!" Lily was very scared and sad. She did not know that the gun was not a toy. She thought that Tom wanted to hurt her. She dropped her doll and ran away. She cried for her mom. Tom laughed and chased her. He thought it was fun to make Lily scared and sad. He did not know that the gun was dangerous and could hurt someone. He did not know that his dad was watching him from the window. His dad was very angry and worried. He ran outside and grabbed the gun from Tom. He said, "Tom, what are you doing? This is not a toy, this is a gun! You could have hurt Lily or yourself! You are a very bad boy!" Tom was shocked and scared. He did not understand why his dad was angry and why Lily was crying. He said, "But dad, I just wanted to play. I just wanted to introduce Lily to my new toy." His dad said, "Tom, this is not a toy, this is a weapon. You do not play with weapons. You do not scare or hurt your friends. You do not introduce them to guns. You are a spoiled boy who does not know how to be kind or respectful. You need to learn a lesson. You need to apologize to Lily and give her your best toy. And you need to stay in your room for a long time. Do you understand?" Tom nodded and sobbed. He realized that he had done something very wrong. He wished he had never seen the gun. He wished he had been nice to Lily. He wished he had not been a spoiled boy. Tom and Anna were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. "Look, our snowman is smiling!" Anna said. "Yes, he is. He likes us," Tom said. They wanted to make their snowman warmer, so they looked for some wood. They found some sticks and a box of matches. They made a small fire near the snowman. "Let's light the fire and make him cozy," Tom said. He took a match and struck it on the box. It made a bright flame. He put it on the sticks. The fire started to burn. "Wow, look at the fire!" Anna said. She went closer to the fire. She felt the heat on her face. She liked the fire. "Can I hold a match too?" she asked. Tom shrugged. He did not know if it was a good idea. He gave her a match. "Be careful, Anna. Matches are hot. They can hurt you," he said. Anna nodded. She struck the match on the box. It made a flame too. She held it in her hand. She felt the heat on her fingers. She did not like the fire. "Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. She dropped the match on the snow. It went out. She shook her hand. It was red and sore. "Are you okay, Anna?" Tom asked. He ran to her. He hugged her. He felt sorry for her. "I'm sorry, Tom. The match was too hot. It hurt me," she said. She sniffed. She had tears in her eyes. "It's okay, Anna. Don't cry. The match is gone. You are safe," he said. He took her to the snowman. He wrapped the scarf around her hand. He gave her a kiss. "Look, our snowman is still smiling. He likes us. He wants us to be happy," he said. Anna smiled too. She felt better. She hugged Tom. "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I love you," she said. "I love you too, Anna. You are a good sister. Let's play with our snowman some more," he said. They played with their snowman until it was dark. They had fun. They forgot about the cold. They forgot about the match. They were happy. Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big rain cloud. It is dark and scary. They hear a loud boom. It is thunder. They run to the big tree. They hide under the leaves. They hope the rain will not find them. They are afraid of the rain. They do not like to get wet. But the rain is very strong. It falls from the sky. It makes the ground wet and muddy. It makes the leaves wet and heavy. It makes the tree shake and bend. Lily and Tom see a small bird. It is on a branch. It is wet and cold. It cannot fly. It chirps and cries. It needs help. Lily and Tom want to help the bird. They are brave and kind. They climb the tree. They are careful and slow. They reach the branch. They take the bird in their hands. It is soft and warm. It stops chirping and crying. It is happy. They rescue the bird. They bring it down the tree. They find a dry and cozy place. They make a nest for the bird. They give it some seeds and water. They make it feel better. The rain stops. The sun comes out. It makes a rainbow. It is bright and pretty. Lily and Tom smile. They are proud and happy. They have a new friend. The bird sings and thanks them. It is sweet and grateful. Anna was playing in the garden with her doll. She liked to pretend that her doll was a fairy who could do magic. She made a crown of flowers for her doll and put it on her head. "Hello, fairy," Anna said. "Do you like your crown?" The doll did not reply. Anna was sad. She wished her doll could talk to her. Just then, she heard a tiny voice behind her. "I like your crown. It is very pretty." Anna turned around and saw a real fairy sitting on a leaf. She had wings that sparkled in the sun and a dress that looked like a rainbow. "Are you a fairy?" Anna asked, amazed. "Yes, I am," the fairy replied. "My name is Lily. I live in the big tree over there. I saw you playing with your doll and I wanted to say hello." Anna smiled. She was very happy to meet a real fairy. She asked Lily if she could do magic. "Of course I can," Lily replied. "I can make things grow, or change color, or fly. Do you want to see?" "Yes, please," Anna said. Lily flew over to a rose bush and touched one of the flowers. It turned from red to blue. Then she flew over to a stone and touched it. It turned into a butterfly. Then she flew over to Anna's doll and touched it. It started to move and talk. "Hello, Anna," the doll said. "Thank you for being my friend." Anna gasped. She hugged her doll and thanked Lily. "You are very welcome," Lily replied. "You are a kind and sweet girl. I like you. Do you want to be my friend too?" "Yes, I do," Anna said. "You are a very useful and nice fairy. Can we play together?" "Of course we can," Lily said. "We can have lots of fun in the garden. Come on, let's go." Anna and Lily flew away with the doll, laughing and singing. They played until the sun set and the stars came out. They were very happy. They had found new friends. Lily was excited to go to the zoo with her mom and dad. She wanted to see the lions, the monkeys, and the elephants. She had never seen them before, only in books and on TV. When they got to the zoo, they walked around and looked at all the animals. Lily liked the lions, they were big and loud and had long hair. She liked the monkeys, they were funny and jumped and played. She liked the elephants, they were huge and had long noses and big ears. But then, Lily felt something in her tummy. She needed to go to the toilet. She told her mom and dad, and they looked for the nearest toilet. They found one, but it was not like the toilet at home. It was dark and dirty and had a bad smell. Lily did not like it. She held her mom's hand and went inside. There were many stalls, but some of them were locked or broken. Lily and her mom found one that was open and went in. Lily sat on the toilet and tried to go, but she was scared. She heard strange noises, like water dripping and pipes creaking and doors slamming. Then, she heard a loud roar. It sounded like a lion, but it was not from outside. It was from the next stall. Lily was very scared. She screamed and jumped off the toilet. She ran to her mom and hugged her. "Mommy, mommy, there's a lion in the toilet!" she cried. Her mom looked at the next stall and saw a sign. It said: "Out of order. Do not use. Zoo staff only." Her mom realized what had happened. She smiled and hugged Lily. "Don't worry, sweetie, there's no lion in the toilet. It's just a speaker. The zoo staff use it to scare away people who try to use the broken toilet. It's a prank. It's not real." Lily looked at the sign and the speaker. She felt silly and relieved. She laughed and wiped her tears. "Really? It's not real?" she asked. "No, it's not real. It's just a joke. Come on, let's go find your dad and see the real lions. They're much nicer than the toilet lion." Lily nodded and took her mom's hand. She was still excited to see the animals, but she decided to never use the toilet at the zoo again. Tom and Mia like to dig in the dirt. They have a big bucket and some spoons. They pretend they are looking for treasure. Sometimes they find rocks, shells, or worms. One day, they dig deeper than before. They see something shiny in the dirt. They use their spoons to get it out. It is a big rock with many colors. It sparkles in the sun. "Wow, look at this!" Tom says. "It is so pretty!" "Maybe it is a treasure!" Mia says. "Maybe it is a mineral!" They run to show their mom. She is sitting on a bench with a book. She smiles when she sees them. "What did you find, kids?" she asks. "A mineral!" Tom and Mia say together. They hold up the rock. Mom looks at the rock. She is surprised. She knows a lot about rocks. She realizes that the rock is very rare. It is a rainbow quartz. It is worth a lot of money. "Where did you find this?" she asks. "In the dirt!" Tom and Mia say. "We dug it out!" Mom hugs them. She is very proud of them. She tells them they are very lucky. She says they can keep the rock or sell it. They can decide what to do with it. Tom and Mia look at each other. They look at the rock. They think it is the best treasure ever. They decide to keep it. They put it in their bucket. They go back to dig some more. They hope to find more minerals. They are very happy. Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big red wagon with a long handle. They wanted to ride in it. "Can we pull the wagon?" Ben asked Lily. "Yes, let's pull it!" Lily said. They ran to the wagon and grabbed the handle. They pulled it with all their might. The wagon was heavy and hard to move. They had to pull very tight. They pulled it across the grass and the dirt. They pulled it up and down the hills. They pulled it around the trees and the swings. They had so much fun pulling the wagon. They laughed and shouted. They felt strong and happy. "Look, there's a pond!" Ben said. He saw a shiny blue pond with ducks and fish. He wanted to pull the wagon to the pond. "Be careful, Ben!" Lily said. She saw a sign that said "No wagons near the pond". She was afraid they would fall in the water. But Ben did not listen. He pulled the wagon faster and faster. He pulled it too close to the pond. He did not see a big rock in the way. Crash! The wagon hit the rock and tipped over. Ben and Lily fell out of the wagon. The handle flew out of their hands. The wagon rolled into the pond. Splash! The wagon sank into the water. The ducks and fish swam away. The water was cold and wet. Ben and Lily were scared and sad. They lost their wagon. They were soaked and dirty. They ran to their mom and dad. They told them what happened. They said they were sorry. Mom and dad hugged them and dried them. They said it was okay. They said they were glad they were not hurt. They said they would buy them a new wagon. Ben and Lily felt better. They learned their lesson. They said they would never pull the wagon too tight or too fast again. They said they would always listen to the signs and to each other. They said they still loved pulling the wagon. Lily loved to dance. She wanted to be a dancer when she grew up. She watched dancers on TV and copied their moves. She danced in her room, in the garden, and in the park. One day, her mom said, "Lily, you need to study. You have to learn letters and numbers and colors. Dancing is fun, but you need to know other things too." Lily did not like to study. She thought it was boring and hard. She wanted to dance all the time. She said, "No, mom, I don't want to study. I want to dance. I am a dancer." Her mom was harsh. She said, "Lily, if you don't study, you can't dance. You have to do your homework first, or I will take away your TV and your music and your shoes. You have to listen to me. I know what is best for you." Lily was sad and angry. She did not want to lose her TV and her music and her shoes. She did not want to listen to her mom. She wanted to dance. She ran away from her mom and went to the park. She danced on the grass and felt free and happy. But then, a big dog came. The dog was mean and hungry. The dog saw Lily and wanted to bite her. The dog ran to Lily and jumped on her. Lily screamed and tried to run away, but the dog was faster and stronger. The dog bit Lily's leg and made her bleed. Lily cried and cried. She wished her mom was there to help her. She wished she had studied. She wished she was not a dancer. Sara likes to design things. She has many papers and colors. She can make animals and flowers and cars. She likes to show her designs to her mom and dad. One day, Sara wants to design a new animal. She thinks of a big green animal with many teeth. She remembers seeing it in a book. It is a crocodile. She takes a green paper and cuts it into a long shape. She draws eyes and a mouth and teeth. She adds legs and a tail. She is happy with her design. She runs to her mom and says, "Look, mom, I made a crocodile!" Her mom smiles and says, "Wow, Sara, that is a very good crocodile. Where does it live?" Sara thinks for a moment and says, "It lives in the water. It likes to swim and eat fish." Her mom nods and says, "That's right. Do you know what else it likes to eat?" Sara shakes her head and says, "No, what?" Her mom says, "Sometimes, it likes to eat spicy food. Like peppers and curry and salsa. It makes its mouth hot and happy." Sara makes a surprised face and says, "Really? Spicy food? I don't like spicy food. It makes my mouth hurt and sad." Her mom laughs and says, "That's okay, Sara. You don't have to like spicy food. You can like what you like. And you can design what you like. You are very creative and smart." Sara hugs her mom and says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my crocodile. But I won't give it spicy food. I will give it fish and water and a hug." Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big swing. Sara wants to try it. She runs to the swing and sits on it. Tom pushes her. Sara feels happy. She swings high and low. "Look at me, Tom! I am flying!" Sara says. "You are brave, Sara!" Tom says. Sara swings higher and higher. She wants to touch the sky. She lets go of the swing. She thinks she can fly. But she falls to the ground. She hurts her lip. It bleeds. She cries. Tom runs to her. He helps her stand up. He sees her lip. It is blue and swollen. "Are you okay, Sara?" Tom asks. "No, Tom. It hurts. I was silly. I should not let go of the swing." Sara says. Tom hugs her. He says, "It's okay, Sara. You made a mistake. We all make mistakes. But we can learn from them. Next time, you will be more careful. Come, I will take you to your mom. She will make you feel better." Sara nods. She holds Tom's hand. They walk to Sara's mom. Sara's mom sees her lip. She is worried. She cleans it and puts a band-aid on it. She kisses Sara and says, "I love you, Sara. You are my brave girl. But you have to be safe too. Swinging is fun, but you have to hang on to the swing. Do you understand?" Sara says, "Yes, mom. I understand. I am sorry. I love you too." Sara's mom smiles. She says, "It's okay, Sara. You are forgiven. Now, do you want some ice cream?" Sara says, "Yes, please!" Sara and Tom share some ice cream. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They will not let go of the swing again. They will hang on to it. They will have fun and be safe. Ben was miserable today. He wanted to go outside and play with his ball, but it was raining. He looked out the window and saw big drops of water falling from the sky. He sighed and said, "Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day." His mom heard him and came to his room. She smiled and said, "I know you are sad, Ben, but rain is good for the plants and the animals. And we can still have fun inside. Do you want to read a book with me, or play a game, or draw a picture?" Ben shook his head. He did not want to do any of those things. He wanted to go outside and play with his ball. He said, "No, thank you, mom. I don't want to do anything. I just want the rain to stop." His mom hugged him and said, "I understand, Ben, but sometimes we have to wait for things we want. Maybe the rain will stop soon, and then you can go outside and play with your ball. But until then, why don't you try to find something fun to do inside? Maybe you can make a fort with your blankets, or pretend to be a pirate, or sing a song." Ben thought for a moment. He liked to make forts, and to pretend, and to sing. Maybe he could do one of those things and have some fun. He said, "Okay, mom, maybe I will try that. Can you help me make a fort?" His mom nodded and said, "Of course, Ben, I would love to help you make a fort. Let's go get some blankets and pillows and chairs and make the best fort ever." Ben smiled and said, "Okay, mom, let's do that. Maybe today is not so miserable after all." He got up from his bed and followed his mom to the living room. He forgot about the rain and the ball, and started to have fun with his mom. He was not miserable anymore. He was happy. Lena and Tom are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they want to be superheroes. They have masks and capes. They run and jump in the park. "Look, Tom, a bad guy!" Lena says. She points to a man with a bag. The man is running away from a shop. He did not pay for the things in the bag. He is a thief. "Let's stop him, Lena!" Tom says. He and Lena run after the man. They shout, "Stop, thief! Give back the things!" The man is scared. He sees the kids with masks and capes. He thinks they are real superheroes. He drops the bag and runs away. Lena and Tom pick up the bag. They bring it back to the shop. The shop lady is happy. She thanks them and gives them a candy each. "You are very brave and kind, kids," she says. "You are true superheroes." Lena and Tom smile. They eat their candy. They are proud and happy. They have fun playing pretend. They are lively and smart. Lily loves her dog Max. He is big and brown and soft. He likes to play with Lily and her toys. Sometimes he makes a mess, but Lily does not mind. She hugs him and says, "You are a good dog, Max." One day, Lily and Max go to the park with Mom. There are many other dogs and people there. Lily sees a small white dog with a pink bow. She thinks it is cute. She runs to it and says, "Hello, dog. Can I pet you?" The white dog does not like Lily. It barks and snaps at her. Lily is scared and sad. She runs back to Mom and Max. Mom hugs her and says, "Are you okay, Lily? That was a mean dog. It does not know how to be nice." Max is angry at the white dog. He growls and shows his teeth. He wants to protect Lily. He does not like mean dogs. He thinks they are ignorant. He does not know what ignorant means, but he heard Mom say it once. Mom sees Max growl. She says, "No, Max. Do not fight. We do not want trouble. Come, let's go to another part of the park. There are nicer dogs there." She pulls Max by his leash. Max nods and follows Mom. He trusts her. He looks at Lily and licks her face. He says, "I love you, Lily. You are a good girl." Lily smiles and says, "I love you too, Max. You are a good dog." Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they want to play with the same toy car. Anna grabs the car first, but Ben pulls it hard. They both yell and tug at the car. "Mine!" Anna says. "No, mine!" Ben says. Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the toy car. She is not happy. She takes the car away and puts it on a high shelf. "Stop fighting, Anna and Ben. You need to share and take turns. Now, go to the bathroom and wash your hands. It is time for lunch," Mom says. Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They do not want to go to the bathroom. They want the toy car. They walk slowly to the bathroom, still frowning. They see a big mirror on the wall. They look at themselves and make funny faces. They start to giggle and forget about the car. They wash their hands and dry them with a towel. They see a bottle of soap on the sink. They open it and squeeze some soap on their hands. They rub their hands together and make bubbles. They blow the bubbles and watch them fly. They laugh and clap their hands. They have fun with the soap and the bubbles. They do not hear Mom calling them for lunch. They do not see the soap and the water making a mess on the floor. They think the bathroom is perfect. They do not know that Mom will scream when she sees the bathroom. Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they wake up very early. They want to see the sunrise. They put on their coats and hats. They go to the hill near their house. They sit on the grass and wait. The sky is dark and quiet. "Look, Lily, the sun is coming!" Tom says. He points to the horizon. He sees a bright orange ball. It is getting bigger and bigger. "Wow, it is so pretty!" Lily says. She smiles and claps her hands. She sees the sky changing colors. It is pink and purple and yellow. They watch the sunrise for a long time. They feel happy and warm. They talk and laugh and sing. But then, Lily sees something. She sees a big rock behind Tom. It is rolling down the hill. It is coming fast. "Tom, watch out!" Lily shouts. She tries to pull Tom away. But it is too late. The rock hits Tom. He falls down. He cries out loud. Lily is scared. She runs to Tom. She hugs him and says sorry. She sees a cut on his knee. It is bleeding. "Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asks. She feels sad and sorry. Tom is hurt. He feels pain and angry. He pushes Lily away. He says, "Go away, Lily! You are not my friend! You made me fall!" Lily is shocked. She does not understand. She did not make Tom fall. She tried to help him. She says, "No, Tom, I am your friend! I did not make you fall! The rock made you fall!" But Tom does not listen. He gets up and limps away. He leaves Lily alone on the hill. He goes back to his house. Lily is alone. She feels sad and lonely. She does not know what to do. She looks at the sunrise. It is not pretty anymore. It is just regular. She cries. Lily and Tom were friends who liked to bake. They baked cakes, pies, cookies and bread. They shared their treats with their families and neighbors. Everyone in town loved their baking. One day, it was very cold and icy outside. Lily and Tom could not go out to play. They decided to bake something warm and yummy. They asked their moms for some flour, sugar, eggs, butter and milk. They also found some chocolate chips and nuts in the pantry. They mixed everything in a big bowl and poured it into a pan. They put the pan in the oven and waited for it to bake. They smelled the sweet and nutty aroma of their cake. They were very excited to taste it. When the cake was done, they took it out of the oven and let it cool. They cut two big slices and put some whipped cream on top. They sat down at the table and ate their cake. It was soft, moist and delicious. They said to each other, "This is the best cake ever! We are very good bakers!" They smiled and hugged. They were happy and warm, even though it was icy outside. One day, Tom and Lily went to play in the snow. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots. They ran outside and saw the white powder on the ground. It was cold and soft. "Let's make a snowman!" said Tom. He rolled a big ball of snow and put it on the grass. Then he rolled a smaller ball and put it on top of the big one. He found two sticks for the arms, a carrot for the nose, and some stones for the eyes and mouth. "Look, our snowman is done!" said Lily. She wrapped a scarf around his neck and gave him a hat. "He looks happy!" They heard a loud noise. It was a snow plow. It was big and gray and had a metal blade. It was clearing the road of snow. "Watch out!" shouted Tom. He grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her away from the snowman. The snow plow came closer and closer. It pushed the snow to the side of the road. "Stop!" cried Lily. "You're going to hit our snowman!" But the snow plow did not stop. It hit the snowman and broke him into pieces. The snow flew in the air and landed on Tom and Lily. They were covered in snow. They were very sad. They looked at the snow plow. The driver saw them and waved. He said he was sorry. He did not see their snowman. "It's okay," said Tom. He hugged Lily. "We can make another snowman. But we have to put him somewhere safe." They brushed off the snow from their clothes and went to find a new spot for their snowman. They decided to put him in their backyard, where the snow plow could not reach him. They smiled and started to roll new balls of snow. They were happy again. Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they do not like to share. They always fight over who gets what. One day, they find a yellow box in their closet. They do not know what is inside. They both want to open it. They pull and tug and yell. "Give me the box! It is mine!" Anna says. "No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Ben says. They do not listen to each other. They do not care about each other's feelings. They only want the box. Suddenly, the box breaks. It falls to the floor. Out comes a big mess. There are papers and crayons and stickers and glue. They are all over the room. They are all over Anna and Ben. Anna and Ben stop fighting. They look at the mess. They feel sad and sorry. They wish they had not been so greedy and mean. They look at each other. They say sorry. "I am sorry, Anna. I should have shared with you. You are my sister. I love you." Ben says. "I am sorry, Ben. I should have listened to you. You are my brother. I love you." Anna says. They hug and smile. They decide to clean up the mess together. They use the papers and crayons and stickers and glue to make cards and pictures. They have fun and laugh. They share and care. They learn a lesson. They learn that sharing is better than fighting. They learn that listening is better than yelling. They learn that love is better than greed. They are happy. They are twins. They are friends. Sara was lonely. She had no friends to play with. She liked to read stories, but she had read all her books. She wished she had a new story to read. One day, she found a big book in the attic. It had many pictures and words. Sara opened the book and saw a story about a princess and a dragon. She wanted to read it, but the words were too hard. She could not read them. She looked at the pictures and tried to guess what the story was. She saw the princess in a castle, the dragon in a cave, and a knight on a horse. She made up her own story in her head. She said, "The princess was sad. She wanted to go out and see the world. But the dragon was scary. He breathed fire and roared. He did not let anyone near the castle. The knight was brave. He wanted to save the princess. He rode his horse to the cave. He fought the dragon with his sword." Sara turned the page and saw a picture of the princess and the knight hugging. She smiled and said, "The knight won. He beat the dragon. He freed the princess. They were happy. They kissed and hugged. They went away together." She turned the page again and saw a picture of the dragon. He was not dead. He was crying. He had a bandage on his nose. He looked sad and lonely. Sara felt sorry for him. She said, "The dragon was not bad. He was lonely. He had no friends. He only wanted to play. He did not know how to be nice. He did not know how to share. He did not know how to love." Sara closed the book and thought for a while. She had an idea. She said, "I will be the dragon's friend. I will teach him how to be nice. I will teach him how to share. I will teach him how to love. I will read him stories. He will not be lonely anymore. He will be happy." She took the book and ran down the stairs. She went outside and looked for the dragon. She did not see him, but she heard him. He was in the woods, behind the house. He was still crying. Sara called out, "Hello, dragon! I have a story for you. Do you want to hear it?" The dragon heard her voice and stopped crying. He was curious. He peeked out from the trees and saw a little girl with a big book. He said, "Who are you? What do you want?" Sara smiled and said, "I am Sara. I want to be your friend. I have a story for you. It is about a princess and a knight and a dragon. Do you want to hear it?" The dragon nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I like stories. But I have no one to read them to me." Sara said, "I will read it to you. Come closer. Don't be afraid. I will not hurt you." The dragon came closer and sat down next to Sara. He looked at the book and said, "What is this?" Sara said, "This is a book. It has pictures and words. The words tell the story. The pictures show the story. I will read the words to you. You can look at the pictures. You can ask me questions. You can tell me what you think. You can taste the story with me." The dragon said, "Taste the story? What does that mean?" Sara said, "It means to enjoy the story. To feel the story. To imagine the story. To learn from the story. To love the story. Stories are yummy. They make us happy. They make us smart. They make us kind. They make us friends." The dragon said, "I want to taste the story. I want to be happy. I want to be smart. I want to be kind. I want to be your friend." Sara said, "Then let's taste the story together. Let's start from the beginning. Once upon a time, there was a princess and a dragon..." Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a lot of fog in the air. They could not see the trees or the houses very well. They thought it was fun to run and hide in the fog. They ran to the park and found a big slide. They took turns to go down the slide and laugh. But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck that was coming to the park. The truck had a lot of food for a picnic. The truck driver did not see the fog. He did not see the slide. He drove over the slide and broke it. Lily and Tom were very sad. They liked the slide. They wanted to play on it. They were also scared of the truck. They ran away from the park and looked for their mom. They found her at home. She was making cookies for them. They told her what happened. She hugged them and said it was not their fault. She said the truck driver was confused by the fog. He did not mean to spoil their fun. She said they could have some cookies and play with their toys. She said maybe the fog would go away soon and they could go back to the park. Lily and Tom felt better. They ate some cookies and played with their toys. They hoped the slide would be fixed soon. They still liked the fog, but they also liked the slide. They learned to be careful in the fog. They learned that sometimes things go wrong, but mom is always there to help. Lily and Ben are friends. They are in the same classroom. They like to play and learn together. But one day, they have a problem. The teacher gives them a big paper. She says, "Draw what you want to be when you grow up." Lily and Ben think hard. Lily wants to be a doctor. She draws a white coat and a stethoscope. Ben wants to be a firefighter. He draws a red truck and a hose. They show each other their drawings. They are proud of their work. But then they start to argue. Lily says, "My job is better than yours. Doctors help people who are sick." Ben says, "No, my job is better than yours. Firefighters save people from fires." They get angry and loud. They do not want to be friends anymore. The teacher hears them. She comes to their table. She looks at their drawings. She smiles. She says, "You both did a great job. You both have good dreams. But you do not have to fight. You can be different and still be friends. Doctors and firefighters can work together. They can help each other and the people who need them." Lily and Ben listen to the teacher. They feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They are friends again. They are happy. They are proud of their drawings and their friendship. Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a thin cat named Mittens. One day, Lily's mommy gave her a razor to help her shave her legs. Lily was curious about the razor and asked her mommy, "What is this?" "It's a razor," her mommy replied. "It helps you shave your legs so they feel smooth." Lily was excited to try it out, but she didn't know how to use it. So, she asked Mittens to follow her to the bathroom. "Mittens, come with me," she said. "I want to show you something." Mittens followed Lily to the bathroom and watched as she used the razor. "Look, Mittens," Lily said. "I'm shaving my legs!" Mittens meowed in approval and Lily felt proud of herself for trying something new. From that day on, Lily always had Mittens follow her to the bathroom when she used her razor. Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. He loved Christmas and all the pretty lights. One day, he saw a green reindeer in his backyard! He was so surprised but also happy. He wanted to pet the reindeer, but it ran away. Timmy was sad, but he didn't give up. He wanted to see the green reindeer again. He managed to find some carrots and put them in the backyard. The next day, the reindeer came back and ate the carrots. Timmy was so happy! He played with the reindeer all day long. He even managed to ride it! Timmy had the best Christmas ever with his new green reindeer friend. Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily. She had a comb that she used to brush her hair every day. One day, Lily's mom gave her a new comb that was very modern. It was shiny and had a pretty pattern on it. Lily was very happy to have a new comb. She used it to brush her hair and it felt very nice. She showed her friends the new comb and they thought it was very pretty too. Lily was glad to have such a nice comb to use every day. Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved playing in his backyard. One day, his mom asked him to help her with some work. Timmy asked, "What work, Mommy?" His mommy said, "We need to clean up the backyard. It's difficult work, but we can do it together." Timmy replied, "Okay, Mommy. Let's work together!" So, Timmy and his mommy worked hard in the backyard, picking up sticks and leaves. After a while, Timmy said, "Mommy, this work is hard, but we're doing a great job!" His mommy smiled and said, "Yes, we are. Teamwork makes difficult work easier!" And with that, Timmy and his mommy finished their work in the backyard and enjoyed playing together in their newly cleaned space. Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She was very scared of using the toilet all by herself. She would always ask her mommy to come with her. One day, Lily's mommy had to go out and she couldn't come with her. Lily was very fearful and didn't want to go to the toilet alone. She asked her mommy, "Can you please come with me to the toilet?" Her mommy said, "I hope you can be brave and go to the toilet all by yourself. I believe in you." Lily was scared, but she took a deep breath and went to the toilet. She did it all by herself and felt very proud. From that day on, she knew that she could do anything if she tried. The moral of the story is to always try your best and you will succeed. Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the sunshine. One day, she found a long stick on the ground. She picked it up and pretended it was a spear. She ran around the yard, pretending to be a brave knight. Her mom came outside and asked, "What are you doing, Lily?" "I'm a knight!" Lily said with a big smile. "I enjoy playing with my spear." Her mom looked at the stick and said, "Be careful, that could hurt someone." Lily felt ashamed because she didn't want to hurt anyone. She put the stick down and went to play with her dolls instead. She still had fun, but she knew to be more careful next time. Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to look up at the sky and wonder about the universe. One day, he asked his mom, "Mommy, what is the universe?" His mom replied, "The universe is everything that exists, like the stars and planets." Timmy was amazed and asked his mom, "Is the universe fierce?" His mom thought for a moment and replied, "Well, some parts of the universe can be fierce, like black holes and supernovas." Later that day, Timmy was playing with his friend Billy. Billy asked Timmy, "What did your mom say about the universe?" Timmy replied, "She said it's everything that exists, even fierce things like black holes." Billy was impressed and said, "Wow, your mom is smart!" Timmy smiled and replied, "Yes, she is." Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy who loved to eat ice cream. One day, he was eating his ice cream with a spoon when his mom asked him, "Timmy, can you please be loyal and share some of your ice cream with your sister?" Timmy didn't want to share his ice cream because it was his favorite flavor, but he knew his mom was right. So, he gave his sister a spoonful of ice cream. His sister was happy and said, "Thank you, Timmy! You are so sharp for sharing your ice cream with me." Timmy felt proud of himself for being a good brother and sharing his ice cream. From that day on, he always shared his treats with his sister and became known as the loyal and kind brother in his family. Once upon a time, there was a big bear named Brownie. Brownie loved to hug his friends. He had many friends in the forest. One day, Brownie went to the river to catch some fish. He set his fishing rod and waited for a long time. Suddenly, he felt a big tug on his fishing line. Brownie was so happy! He caught a long fish! He hugged the fish and said, "Thank you for coming to see me!" Once upon a time, there was a lazy cat named Tom. Tom liked to sleep all day and didn't like to play or do any work. One day, Tom got sick and his owner gave him a pill to make him feel better. But Tom didn't want to take the pill, he was too lazy to even open his mouth. Days went by and Tom's owner noticed that he wasn't getting any better. She knew that if Tom didn't take the pill, his sickness would never end. So, she decided to trick Tom by hiding the pill in his food. Tom ate his food and unknowingly took the pill. After a few days, Tom's sickness ended and he felt much better. His owner explained to him that sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do in order to make things better in the end. Tom learned his lesson and promised to never be too lazy to take his medicine again. The end. Once upon a time, there was a happy boy named Timmy. He loved to climb the ladder in his backyard and reach for the sky. His mom always encouraged him to be brave and climb higher. One day, Timmy saw a bird's nest on top of the tree. He wanted to see the little birds inside, so he climbed higher than ever before. He felt so cheerful and proud of himself. But then, the ladder suddenly broke! Timmy fell down and hurt himself badly. His mom had to take him to the hospital. Timmy learned that sometimes, even when we feel happy and brave, we need to be careful and listen to others' advice. Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play in the park with her friends. One day, Lily and her friends saw dark clouds in the sky. They knew it was going to rain soon. Lily's mom had given her a soft, cozy blanket to take to the park. Lily wrapped herself up in the blanket and waited for the rain to come. Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a tiger! Lily and her friends were scared, but they remembered what they learned in school about staying calm around animals. They slowly backed away from the tiger and ran to safety. The rain started pouring down, but they were happy to be safe and dry under the soft blanket. Later, they found out that the tiger had escaped from the zoo. They were glad they were able to stay safe and enjoy the rain under the cozy blanket. Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play outside with his friends. One day, Timmy and his friends were playing soccer in the park. Timmy kicked the ball really hard and it went over the fence. Timmy's friends were frightened because they thought they might get in trouble for losing the ball. Timmy said, "Don't worry, I'll go get it."

He got to the corner, and stopped to count the houses nearby. One, two, three, four…Jim soon reached the large garage he had seen before it began to rain. He stood there, counting each drop that fell from the sky. The garage was big and sturdy at first, but Jim noticed something strange about it. A single wall looked fragile, as if it would crumble with the slightest push. As Jim watched, the wall started to wobble and shake. He counted each rock as it fell to the ground. Jim ran inside to tell his dad what was happening. Dad hurried outside and counted the cars in the garage. He knew he had to act fast, so he grabbed a few tools and started to work. He worked quickly, and before long the wall was sturdy once again. Jim was glad they had taken care of the wall before it collapsed. He learned that counting can help you find and fix the things that are dangerous and frail. Once upon a time there was a girl called Jane.

The boat liked to move around, floating on the water and going to different places. But one day, the boat had an idea. It wanted to stay in one place for a while and so it decided to settle. The boat found a good spot and put down an anchor. This was like a special kind of rope and it made sure that the boat stayed where it wanted to be. The boat was so happy and settled in its spot. But then, one day, a big wind started to blow. The wind was very strong and it blew the anchor away. The boat was very upset and it tried to stay in its spot but the wind was too strong so it started to drift away. The boat was very sad. But then it remembered what it had learned. It realised that if it had stayed in the same spot for a little bit longer, it would have put down more anchors. This would have stopped the boat from being upset and made it much easier to stay in the same spot even when the wind blew. So remember, sometimes it is best to wait and hold on for a bit longer before moving on. That way you can set down more anchors and be sure to settle. Once upon a time, there was a big machine. It was very tall and thick. The machine lived in a field where all the other animals played and had fun. One day, the machine wanted to join in and play. However, the other animals said he couldn't!

The machine thought and thought, wondering what it could bring. Finally, the machine thought of something. It brought a big, thick blanket which it wrapped around itself. The other animals were very pleased and included the machine in their game. Everyone had lots of fun, playing together and keeping the machine warm with the blanket. The little girl opened the box and was so excited to unpack it. Inside was a wide variety of animals! She pulled out a bright yellow duck and held it in her hands. Next, she uncovered an orange and black striped cat. She couldn't take her eyes away! At last, she saw a white and brown spotted cow. It looked so friendly!

Just as she arrived, however, she noticed all the people there were not wearing colorful clothes like she was and they were all looking a bit sad. The little girl turned to her mom and asked, "Why isn't everyone dressing up like me? Is something wrong?" Her mother smiled and said, "No, nothing's wrong. People just don't have as much colorful clothing to wear today, because the sea has been very unkind to them. It hasn't been available to them as much as it usually is, and so they don't have as many clothes available." The little girl then thought about this for a moment, before saying "But that doesn't mean they can't still be happy and dress up in whatever clothes they can find! Everyone should always be allowed to dress up and be happy!" And with that, the little girl ran off to play, wearing all her sparkly clothes and feeling the joy of the sea all around her.

He didn't know what to do when it got cold outside, so he would just watch his friends play. He felt like he was shrinking. Every day, Nate watched his friends have fun and he felt more and more embarrassed. He began to feel very small. He felt like he couldn't do anything. Suddenly it was spring and everything changed.

She lived in a beautiful house in the middle of the forest. One day, the fairy saw a small onion near her house. She was very happy and said "Welcome, little onion. I am so happy to see you here." The onion did not respond. But then suddenly it started to grow bigger and bigger. Very soon it was much bigger than the fairy. The fairy smiled and said: "You are ready to go now little onion!" The onion was very excited and wanted to explore the world. But before leaving, it turned to the fairy and said: "Thank you for welcoming me in your house. Even though I am small, I now know that I can do great things." The fairy was moved by the onion's words. She nodded and said " Well done! You are ready to start exploring the world."

You can just slide down the other side and you'll be at the top in no time!" Jimmie was delighted. An old road wound its way down the mountain, just wide enough for him. With a helpful smile from the old man, Jimmie held onto his hat and began to slide down the road. It was a bumpy ride and Jimmie was a bit scared but he reminded himself that the old man said he could make it to the top this way.

He tried to grab it but it was too big so he started to run around it. He was so excited! He was running around and laughing. John's mum came in the room and asked what he was doing. John said, "Mum, look at the sheet! It changed my room!" Mum laughed and said, "That's great, John! We can use the sheet to make your bed look beautiful!" John was so happy. He grabbed his pillow and put it on the sheet. Then, he and mum decorated the bed together. They made the bed look amazing. John was so proud of what he had done and he was really happy. He hugged his mum and said, "Thanks for helping me change my room!" Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She was searching for something very special and important to her. She looked everywhere, but couldn't find it. The girl felt sad and almost ready to surrender. Then, she spotted something hidden in the grass. She tip-toed over and saw what it was - it was the special and important thing that she was looking for. She felt so happy that she jumped up and down with joy. She was so proud of finding her special something, it had been hidden for so long. The girl hugged the special thing tightly, never wanting to let go. She promised herself she would never surrender her search for it again. With her special something back in her hands, she ran off happily. Once upon a time there was a small, brown bird. He lived in the forest and sang sweetly every day. One day, he saw a message floating in the sky. The message said it was a call to unite, but the bird didn't understand what that meant. The bird asked some of the other birds in the forest what they thought it meant, but they didn't know either. He felt frustrated and went to ask a wise old owl. The old owl told the bird that unite meant being friends with others who were different. The bird was excited, but he was also scared. What if unification means leaving the forest and going to someplace new? The old owl smiled gently and told the bird to trust his message. He said that the bitter feeling of being scared would soon turn into joy. The bird thought about it and decided to follow the message from the sky. He took a deep breath and bravely flew off in search of new friends and a new home. Everyone in the forest waved goodbye and wished him luck. And ever since then, the small, brown bird has been uniting people from all around the world. Once upon a time there was a small boy called Joe. Joe wanted to be famous, so every day he would try and climb the ladder. He slowly made his way to the top, but it was too hard and he kept slipping down. Joe was starting to give up, when a wise old man appeared. "What are you trying to do my boy?" asked the old man. Joe replied, "I am trying to be famous." The old man smiled and said, "Being famous is not always easy my boy. But remember to cover yourself with kindness and be helpful to those around you, and no matter how long it takes, you can eventually reach the top." Joe thanked the old man and from then on, he made sure he was kind to everyone he met and helped those who needed help. And before long, Joe was even more famous than he could ever have imagined. The moral of the story is to always be kind and helpful to those around you and you will go far. Doing good things is the best way to climb any ladder. Once, there was a poor family who lived in a small house. They didn't have much, but they were happy. Mum and Dad worked hard to make sure they had enough to live on. Every morning they all had breakfast together, which included toast and juice. They were often very tired, and so the family had to make their juice last for a few days. They would add some water to the juice, which made it stretch further. Today the family were very lucky. Someone had left a large carton of juice on their doorstep. Now they had plenty of juice to drink every day. They were so happy that their prayers had been answered. The family thanked the kind person for their lovely gift. Now they could share their juice with others less fortunate than them. Once upon a time, there was a small girl named Lila. She was only three years old and loved to explore the world around her. One day, she was looking out of her bedroom window when suddenly an ice cream cone came floating past. She was so excited and ran out to receive it. The cone was soft, cold and very useful. Lila used it to make sandcastles at the beach and mini mud pies in her garden. She also used it to feed the birds in the park. Lila had a great time with her cone, and she was very sad when it shrunk and disappeared. But soon enough, her mum brought her another cone and she was happy once more. Mum and Dad were never home. Their 3 year old, Emma, was often bored and had nobody to talk to. One day, when Emma looked out of the window, she saw her neighbour outside, watching TV. Emma was envious of her neighbour, so she decided to do the same. She went to the living room, looking for the TV. She pressed many buttons, but the screen stayed blank. "Where is the TV?" cried Emma. Suddenly, her mum appeared in the doorway. "Emma, we don't have a TV," said Mum. Emma looked crestfallen, and her mum felt sorry for her. "Let's go to the park instead," said Mum. Emma smiled, and her mum put on her coat. Then they both went outside, to play in the sunshine. Mummy and Daddy had been up early that morning and now they were having a drink together. It was coffee, but Mummy warned Daddy that it was hot. Daddy smiled and said it was okay. He loved coffee and he insisted on having some. Mummy made a cup of coffee for Daddy and it smelt really nice. But when Daddy tried to drink it he found it was too tight. It was too hot to drink and the lid was too tight. Mummy laughed and said she would help him. She got Daddy a special cup with a loose lid. Now it wasn't too hot and Daddy could drink his coffee without any problems. His coffee was just the way he liked it - hot but not too tight. Once upon a time there was a lonely boat. It was a small boat and had no other boats around it. Every day, the little boat bobbed up and down in the sea. One day, a big whale swam up to the little boat. The whale bowed its head and said, "Hello, little boat. Would you like to go on an adventure with me?" The little boat was very excited. So, the whale and the boat began to swim away. They swam past dolphins, who danced and smiled at them. They saw other boats, but none of them joined them on their adventure. They swam all day and when the sun went down, they were still swimming. They finally reached a beautiful beach. The boat was so happy and proud to have made it to the beach with the whale. They bowed to each other, said goodbye and the boat sailed back to the sea, where it was no longer lonely. Once upon a time, there was a sheep. He liked to zoom around in the meadow. All around him were pretty flowers and tall trees. One day, he heard a noise. He looked up and saw a big truck. It was coming closer, and it was going very fast! He could feel the wind as it zoomed. The truck stopped when it got close. The sheep peered inside. He saw lots of things that were available for him to play with. He jumped in and started having lots of fun. He played with the truck for a while and then decided to jump back out. He zoomed around the meadow some more. And then he was tired and snuggled in for a nap. The sheep felt happy and content because he had a great day zooming around, playing and exploring. He settled down for a nice long sleep until tomorrow. Once upon a time there was a nice metal bike. The bike had two wheels and a seat. John wanted to ride the bike. He was only three years old and it was a big bike for him. But John was brave. He put on his helmet and got on the bike.

John rode and rode until he had gone all the way around the block. He stopped the bike and got off. He was very proud of himself. He had ridden all the way around the block! Once there was a girl who wanted to go on an adventure. She started to wrap up in a blanket, to make a magical way out of her house. But when she stepped outside her door, she realized that without a map she would be lost. So she started to look around her garden. Then she saw the way! It was a path lined with glittering rocks, so she started to follow the path. The girl was so excited as she walked, but then she saw something very strange — an ignorant cloud. The cloud was large and was always making sounds that she didn't understand. So she walked closer to the cloud and she saw that the cloud was wrapping up a large, fluffy blanket. But why was the cloud wrapping up a blanket? Then the girl realized — the cloud was wrapped in a blanket to keep it warm because it was still very cold outside. She was so happy that she had found this way to keep the cloud warm! She kept following the path until it led her back home, where she continued to wrap up in her blanket for adventures and smiled, knowing that her helpfulness made the clouds feel a little bit happier. One day, Mommy and Johnny set off for a walk. Mommy put the leash on Johnny and he was so excited to go! They went to the park and found a nice spot with lots of tasty treats. Johnny was so happy to have snacks and he started eating them one by one. But then, he felt a tug on the leash. It was Mommy who was not happy with Johnny's snack choice. She said, "No, Johnny! Those are not for you. Put them back and let's go home." Johnny was sad, but he listened to his mom and started walking back home. On their way home, the clouds grew darker, the wind started to blow, and it started to rain. Johnny got wet and a little scared, and started to cry. Mommy put her arms around him and said, "It's okay, Johnny. We'll find a roof to keep us dry." When they finally made it home, Johnny was exhausted, wet, and sad. Mommy said, "It's time to take off the leash, Johnny." Johnny knew this was the end of their walk, and he was sad. He wished he'd stayed in the park to enjoy all the tasty snacks. Once there was a pilot. He was strong and flexible. He could fly high in the sky. He loved to rock his airplane back and forth. He would rock it in the morning and rock it in the afternoon. Sometimes he would stop and sit in the sky for a while. He could watch the world go by. But then he always went back to rocking in his airplane. He liked to move fast in the air and feel the wind on his face. At night he would land his airplane back on the ground and go to sleep. He would dream of the days when he was rocking in the sky. He was happy flying high in the air and rocking his airplane. The end. Once upon a time, there was a happy family. The dad had a job so he had some money. He kept it safe in a box. Every day the mom wore a dress and the dad wore trousers. One day the family went to the store and the mom bought new shoes. She wore them to go to the park with the dad and they all had lots of fun. On the way home the dad bought candy for the little girl and she had a big smile on her face! When they got home, the dad put the money back in his safe box. The family felt happy and safe. The mom said, "Money is important, but when we're happy, that's more important than anything!" Molly was a little girl who liked to draw and cut things out. She had special scissors that were used only for cutting. Sometimes, Molly was not careful with her scissors. One day, Molly was playing with her scissors while sitting too close to the fireplace. Suddenly, the scissors fell onto the hot fire. Molly watched in shock as the scissors burned. Molly felt guilty. She knew she should not have been playing with her scissors next to the fire. Molly's mom saw what happened and hugged Molly to make her feel better. Molly knew to be more careful next time. She did not want the fire to burn anything ever again. Jill and her dad were at the shop. Jill was three years old and was very excited. Jill asked her dad if she could have an ice-cream. Her dad said she was still too young. Jill said "But all the cool kids get to eat ice-cream". Her dad replied, "You are not old enough yet." Jill was angry. She dared her dad to let her eat the ice-cream or she would never talk to him again. Her dad shook his head and said "No. I am not going to let you have it. It is too unhealthy for you." Jill was sad but still determined. She said "I will never talk to you again if you don't let me have it!" Her dad looked deep into her eyes and said "No, I will not dare do that." He gave her a hug and said "Maybe next time we go to the shop, I will let you have an ice-cream." Jill smiled and agreed. Mandy and her mom were at the store. Mandy saw that her mom was measuring something. She asked, "Mom, what you measuring?" Her mom said, "We need to buy a cart so I'm measuring it to make sure it's not too big or too small." Mandy was excited and said, "Can I help you measure it?" Her mom said, "Yes, of course you can." So Mandy put her hands up against the side of the cart and said, "It looks like it's the right size. Can I have it?" Her mom said, "Let's see. This cart is ordinary, not too big or too small. Yes, it looks like it's the right size." Mandy was so happy and she said, "Yay! It's the perfect cart for me!" Once there was a wide napkin lying on the kitchen floor. It had never been used before. Everyone in the house wanted to know where it had come from. Mum decided to ask the 3 year old. He had been in the kitchen moments before. He told her he had found it and wanted to do something special with it. Mum smiled and suggested they have a picnic right there in the kitchen. She helped him to fill the napkin with crackers, cheese and juice. They finished eating and had lots of fun. At the end of the picnic they made sure to put the napkin away neatly. That way they could find it again next time they wanted to have a picnic in the kitchen.

They all had a great time throwing sand and destroying it. Then, a judge came by and saw what they were doing. He was very angry and said they had to clean up. Jack and Jill looked sad and wanted to keep playing. The judge saw how intelligent they were and decided to be nice. He said they could keep playing if they cleaned up first.

I've got to help it". The boy hopped from foot to foot and looked around. He noticed a silly-looking fox standing close by, with a key in its mouth. He eyes lit up and he said, "Oh! I bet that fox has the key to open the cage." He tiptoed up to the fox and said, "Can I have that key, please?" But the fox just shook its head and ran away. The boy muttered, "That fox is so stupid!" and followed it. As they ran, the fox tossed the key over its shoulder to the boy and kept running. The boy grabbed the key and raced back to the cage. With trembling fingers, he opened the cage door and the bird happily flew away. The little boy had saved the day, and all was right with the world. John was a patient boy. Every day he went to the doctors with his mum. He asked many questions - like why the doctor looked at his throat and what made the thermometer so special. Today he had lots of questions again. "Why do I need to take my temperature?" he asked his mum. His mum looked at the doctor. "The doctor needs to know if you're feeling better," she said. John was confused. He didn't see how the thermometer could tell the doctor that. "How does it work?" he questioned. The doctor smiled kindly. "Let me show you," he said, holding up the thermometer. "This allows us to measure your temperature and make sure you're feeling better." John curiously looked at the thermometer. He was only 3 years old, but he was patient. He was willing to learn and understand. The doctor showed him how to use the thermometer and soon John knew how it worked. He smiled in amazement and felt better. Now he knew the answer to his questions! Once upon a time, there was a bunny. He was hopping around in the forest when he heard a noise coming from the nearby pond.

He was the king of the jungle and everyone was scared of his mighty roar. One day, a small sock landed on the lion's head and he didn't like it one bit. He roared and roared and chased the sock across the jungle. The sock ducked and dodged around rocks and trees and the lion was so angry he roared even louder! But the sock was too fast and he couldn't catch it. Finally, the lion gave up and stopped roaring. He was tired and ready for a nap. But the sock was still there, sitting on his head.
