Once upon a time, there was an adorable little hedgehog who lived in the forest. He was very furry, and he had tiny, pointy spines all over his back. His name was Scotty. One day, Scotty came to a clearing in the forest where he saw a big, white van. He peeked inside and there were lots of machines and medical tools. Scotty felt curious and cautiously stepped into the van. Suddenly the van door shut behind him, and he heard a voice say, “Don’t panic, little one. We need to do a small operation on you.†Scotty felt very scared. He wanted to go out of the van and back to his home in the forest. He asked the voice, “What kind of operation?†The voice answered sweetly, as if it understood Scotty’s fear. “It won’t hurt. In this operation, we’re going to make you even more furry! Don’t worry, you’ll be back in the forest in no time.†Scotty was relieved, and he settled down on a furry cushion. After a few minutes, the operation was done, and Scotty felt even more furry and cozy than before. He thanked the voice before going back to his home in the forest. Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Tara. She was warm and cheerful, and she liked to play outside. One day, Tara decided to go for a walk in the bush. She ran around, skipped and had lots of fun. Suddenly, the warm sun went away, and it became very dark and cold. Tara stopped and looked around. She was lost. Tara cried out, "I want to quit! I want to go home!" But no one answered. Tara kept walking until she came to a big bush. She climbed into it and sat there, feeling scared and very sad. Suddenly, a small rabbit jumped out of the bush and said, "Don't worry, Tara! I will help you go home. Just keep walking in this direction." Tara thanked the rabbit and started walking. As she walked, the sky became warm and bright again. Soon, she reached her house and went back inside to her family. When Tara looked out her window, she saw the big bush. She remembered the brave little rabbit who had helped her find her way home, and she smiled. Once there was a little boy named Jake. Jake was just three years old, and he was very excited for a big adventure. One day, Jake and his family hopped in a boat and sailed away. They sailed to the harbor, and Jake couldn't help but feel a bit scared. The harbor looked so big and vast, it made Jake feel small. Jake's dad wrapped his arms around him and told him that it would all be alright. As they arrived to the harbor, they were in awe of how fragile and beautiful it was. All around them were small boats and ships, made of wood and metal, bobbing up and down in the water. The wind and sun made them safer, like they were floating in a gentle cradle. Soon enough, they were ready to leave. Jake said goodbye to the harbor, and thanked it for being so welcoming. As they sailed away, he waved until the harbor was but a speck in the distance. In his heart, Jake knew that he would return one day. Mia was a 3 year old girl who lived in the city. One day she went for a walk with her mom and stopped on a hill top.

It digs underground and sometimes comes up to find food." "What does it eat?" asked Mia. Her mom explained, "Grubs, worms, and insects." Then she pointed to the sky and added, "It's kind of gloomy today, so the mole stays underground." Mia was not pleased with the gloomy weather, so she and her mom thought of something to do indoors. By the time they got home, the sky had cleared. Mia asked her mom if they could go back and visit the mole. "Yes, of course," said her mom. She explained that the mole was likely to be outside now because the sky was clear. So Mia and her mom went back to the hill where they found the mole digging in the dirt. To Mia's delight, the mole even came up to take some food from her hand. Mia was so excited to have such a close encounter with the mole. This experience will be something that Mia will always remember fondly. Once upon a time, there was a boy called Sam. He loved to jump! One day, his mum and dad took him to an amazing maze.

It was having a good time when suddenly, something disturbed it. It was a big, mean bird! The bird was determined to catch the fly and eat it for dinner. The fly was scared and flew away as fast as it could. It flew so far and so fast that the bird could not catch it. Even though the fly was safe now, it was still very afraid and found it hard to rest. The fly looked all around but no matter where it went, the bird seemed to follow it.

She begged her mommy to take her inside. Her mommy said no, but the little girl insisted. Finally, her mommy gave in and they went into the shop. As they approached the counter, the little girl said in a very loud voice, "I want to order a waffle!" The customer behind the little girl was taken aback. He had a fearful look on his face because he thought the little girl was so brave to order something. The customer told the little girl's mommy that she had a courageous daughter.

I won’t use it again.†Ella’s mom smiled and said, “Oh, Ella, I’m not mad. I just want to keep you safe.†Ella smiled back and hugged her mom. She had been so scared that her mom was mad at her, but her mom had only wanted to keep her safe. From then on, Ella was careful to only use the loop in safe ways.

The mouse thanked the rabbit, but he decided not to take the offer and kept looking. On his search, the mouse found a beautiful and clear underground home, and he asked its owner, the hedgehog, why it was so clean.

Did you eat something bad?" she asked. "I don't know, mommy. I just ate a blueberry. Maybe it was a magic blueberry. Maybe it made me shrink," Mia said. Her mom looked at the blueberries and saw that one of them had a shiny sparkle. She realized that it was not a normal blueberry. It was a fairy blueberry. She had heard stories about them, but she never thought they were real. She took the fairy blueberry and held it close to Mia. "Mia, I think this is the blueberry that made you shrink. Maybe if you eat it again, it will make you grow back. Do you want to try?" she asked. Mia was scared, but she trusted her mom. She nodded and took a bite of the fairy blueberry. She felt a warm glow in her body and a stretch in her bones. She looked up and saw that her mom's face was getting bigger. She was growing back! "Mommy, mommy, it worked! I'm big again!" she cheered.

They were careful and quiet, but they also wanted to have some fun. They decided to play a game. They pretended that the bag of sugar was a treasure, and they had to hide it from pirates. They looked for a good hiding spot in Mrs. Lee's yard. They saw a big bush, a swing, and a sandbox. They chose the sandbox, because it looked like a desert island. They dug a hole and buried the bag of sugar. They said, "Now the pirates will never find our treasure!" They were so busy playing that they forgot about Mrs. Lee and her baby. They also forgot that sugar can melt in the sun. They ran back to their mom and told her that they delivered the sugar. Their mom said, "Thank you, you are good helpers. Did Mrs. Lee say anything?" Ben and Lily said, "No, she did not. She was not home. We left the sugar in her yard." Their mom said, "Oh, that is strange. Let me go and check." She went to Mrs. Lee's house and saw the mess. The bag of sugar had melted and leaked in the sandbox. The sugar was sticky and dirty. The baby was crying, because the ants and flies were attracted by the sugar. Mrs. Lee was angry, because she had to clean up the sandbox and calm down the baby. She told Ben and Lily's mom what happened. Ben and Lily's mom was sorry and embarrassed. She said, "I am so sorry, Mrs. Lee. I did not know that they did that. They were trying to help, but they made a mistake. They will come and apologize and help you clean up." She took Ben and Lily to Mrs. Lee's house. They saw the mess and felt bad. They said, "We are sorry, Mrs. Lee. We did not mean to ruin your sugar and your sandbox and your baby. We were playing a game and we forgot. We will help you clean up." Mrs. Lee said, "Thank you, Ben and Lily. I appreciate your apology and your help. I know you were trying to help, but you also need to be responsible and respectful. Next time, please deliver the things as they are, and do not play with them. And please be quiet, because the baby needs to sleep." Ben and Lily said, "Yes, Mrs. Lee. We understand. We will do better next time." They helped Mrs. Lee clean up the sandbox and the sugar. They also gave the baby a toy to make him happy. They learned their lesson and never played with the things they delivered again. The moral of the story is: Be responsible and respectful when you help others, and do not play with things that are not yours. Lila and Tom were ready to travel. They had their bags, their hats, and their tickets. They were going to see their grandma, who lived far away. They liked grandma, because she gave them hugs, cookies, and stories. They got on a big bus, that took them to a big place with many planes. They saw planes of different colors and sizes. Some were red, some were blue, some were yellow. But their plane was silver. It was shiny and fast. They wanted to fly on it. They waited in a line, and showed their tickets to a lady. She smiled and said, "Have a nice trip!" She gave them stickers, that had planes on them. Lila and Tom put the stickers on their hats. They looked like pilots. They walked to their plane, and climbed up the stairs. They found their seats, and buckled their belts. They looked out the window, and saw the silver wing. It had a star on it. They wondered what it meant. The plane started to move, and then to run. It went faster and faster, until it lifted off the ground. Lila and Tom felt a tickle in their bellies. They laughed and clapped. They were flying! They looked out the window again, and saw the clouds. They were white and fluffy, like cotton candy. They saw the sun, that was bright and warm. They saw the land, that was green and brown. They saw the water, that was blue and sparkling. They saw a lot of things, but they did not see the star. The star was hiding, behind the clouds. It was waiting for them, to give them a surprise. It was a special star, that grandma had told them about. It was the star that led them to her. Lila and Ben are friends who like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box of wires in the garage. The wires are long and thin and have different colors. Lila and Ben think they can make fun things with the wires. They start to mix the wires together, twisting and bending them. They make a necklace, a bracelet, a crown, and a belt. They are very happy with their creations. They put them on and pretend to be kings and queens. But then, they hear a loud noise. It is Lila's dad. He is angry. He sees the wires on the floor and on the kids. He says the wires are not toys. He says the wires are for his work. He says the wires are dangerous. He says the kids could get hurt or start a fire. Lila and Ben are scared. They say they are sorry. They take off the wires and give them back to Lila's dad. He tells them to never play with the wires again. He tells them to play with safe toys. He tells them to be careful and respectful. Lila and Ben learn a lesson. They learn that some things are not for playing. They learn that some things can be harmful. They learn that they should listen to their parents and teachers. They hug Lila's dad and say they will be good. They go to Lila's room and play with her dolls and cars. They are still friends who like to play with toys. But they are also smart and safe. Sara likes to help her mom deliver magazines to the houses on their street. She puts one magazine in each mailbox and says hello to the people and animals she sees. Sometimes she gets a sticker or a candy from a nice neighbor. One day, Sara and her mom see a big gray truck on their street. It has many boxes and bags inside. Sara wonders what is in them. The truck driver sees Sara and her mom and waves to them. He says he has a special delivery for them. He gives Sara and her mom a big box with a bow on it. Sara is very excited. She opens the box and finds a new doll inside. It has long hair, a pretty dress and shoes that match. Sara loves the doll and hugs it. She says thank you to the truck driver. The truck driver smiles and says he is glad Sara likes the doll. He says it is a gift from her grandma, who lives far away. He says he delivers magazines and other things to people who order them. He says he likes his job because he makes people happy. Sara and her mom thank the truck driver again and wave goodbye to him. They finish delivering the magazines and go back home. Sara plays with her new doll and shows it to her dad and her brother. She says she is happy too. She says she likes to help her mom deliver magazines and get surprises. Anna was very thirsty. She wanted some water from her bottle. She looked for her bottle in her bag, but she could not find it. She looked under her bed, in her closet, and behind her toys, but she could not find it. She started to panic. Where was her bottle? She ran to her mom and dad, who were in the kitchen. She cried and said, "I lost my bottle! I lost my bottle!" Her mom and dad hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Anna. We will help you find your bottle. Maybe it is in the living room, or in the car, or in the garden. Let's go and see." They went to the living room, but they did not see the bottle. They went to the car, but they did not see the bottle. They went to the garden, but they did not see the bottle. Anna felt very sad and scared. She thought she would never find her bottle again. She was a poor girl without a bottle. Then, she heard a sound. It was a bark. It was her dog, Spot. Spot was in his doghouse, and he had something in his mouth. It was Anna's bottle! He had taken it from her bag when she was not looking. He liked to play with it and chew on it. He did not know it was Anna's bottle. Anna ran to Spot and said, "Spot, you have my bottle! Give it to me, please!" Spot wagged his tail and dropped the bottle. Anna picked it up and hugged it. She was so happy. She thanked Spot and said, "You are a good dog, Spot. But don't take my bottle again, okay?" Spot licked her face and said, "Woof, woof!" Anna smiled and said, "I love you, Spot. And I love my bottle." She drank some water and felt better. She was not a poor girl anymore. She was a lucky girl with a bottle and a dog. Tommy was a boy who liked to play with his hair. He had long hair that he could make into different shapes. He could make a ponytail, a bun, a mohawk, or a braid. He liked to show his hair to his friends and his mom. But one day, his mom said, "Tommy, you need to go to the barber. Your hair is too long and messy. The barber will cut your hair and make it neat and tidy." Tommy did not want to go to the barber. He liked his hair the way it was. He said, "No, mom, I don't want to go to the barber. I like my hair. It is fun and cool. Please, mom, let me keep my hair." His mom said, "Sorry, Tommy, but you have to go to the barber. It is good for you. The barber is a nice man who knows how to cut hair. He has scissors, combs, and clippers. He is very useful. He will make you look handsome and smart. Come on, Tommy, let's go to the barber." Tommy was sad and scared. He did not like scissors, combs, and clippers. He thought they would hurt his hair and his head. He cried and held on to his hair. He said, "No, mom, no, I don't want to go to the barber. I don't want to lose my hair. I love my hair. Please, mom, don't make me go to the barber." His mom hugged him and said, "I know, Tommy, I know. But it is not so bad. The barber is very gentle and careful. He will not hurt you or your hair. He will only cut a little bit of your hair. He will make you look even more fun and cool. Trust me, Tommy, you will like the barber. He is your friend. He will make you happy. Please, Tommy, be brave and go to the barber." Tommy looked at his mom and saw that she was smiling and kind. He felt a little bit better. He said, "Okay, mom, okay. I will go to the barber. But can I keep some of my hair? Can I make a ponytail or a braid?" His mom said, "Sure, Tommy, sure. You can keep some of your hair. You can make a ponytail or a braid. Whatever you like. The barber will help you. He will do what you want. He is very useful. He will make you look great. Come on, Tommy, let's go to the barber." Tommy nodded and took his mom's hand. He said, "Okay, mom, okay. Let's go to the barber. Maybe he is not so bad. Maybe he is fun and cool. Maybe I will like him. Maybe he will make me happy." His mom said, "That's right, Tommy, that's right. Let's go to the barber. He is not so bad. He is fun and cool. You will like him. He will make you happy." They walked to the barber shop. Tommy saw the barber. He had a big smile and a friendly voice. He said, "Hello, Tommy, hello. I am the barber. I am here to cut your hair. I am very useful. I will make you look awesome. Come on, Tommy, come on. Sit on this chair. It is very comfy. Let me show you what I can do." Anna and Ben are twins. They like to do many things together. They care for each other and help each other. They are very happy when they hear that they will go on a holiday with their parents. They pack their bags with their favorite toys and clothes. They get in the car and drive to the big boat. The big boat will take them to an island. They are very excited to see the water and the birds and the fish. On the island, they have a lot of fun. They play on the sand and swim in the sea. They make new friends with other children. They eat yummy food and ice cream. They see many animals and plants. They are very adventurous and curious. One day, they go on a hike with their parents. They walk on a path through the forest. They see a big waterfall and a rainbow. They hear a loud roar. They look and see a big bear. The bear is angry and hungry. It wants to eat them. Anna and Ben are scared. They hold each other's hands. They run back to their parents. Their parents hug them and protect them. They throw some food to the bear. The bear eats the food and leaves them alone. Anna and Ben are relieved. They say to each other, "I'm glad you are here. I care for you. You are my best friend." They smile and hug. They continue their hike and enjoy their holiday. They have many stories to tell when they go back home. Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball. The ball is pink. Lily and Ben take turns to kick the ball. One day, a big boy comes to the park. He sees the ball. He wants the ball. He runs to the ball and grabs it. He says, "This is my ball now. Go away!" Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They say, "No, that is our ball. Give it back!" They try to get the ball from the big boy. But the big boy is stronger. He pushes them away. The big boy laughs. He says, "You can't have the ball. It is too pretty for you. Watch this!" He throws the ball high in the air. The ball rises and rises. It goes over the fence. It lands on the road. Lily and Ben hear a loud noise. They see a car. The car hits the ball. The ball pops. The ball is gone. The big boy is scared. He runs away. Lily and Ben cry. They say, "Our ball! Our pink ball! It is broken!" They hug each other. They are very sad. They go home. They have no ball. They have no fun. The end. Tom and Lily went to a big hotel with their mom and dad. They were very happy because the hotel had a big pool and a big park. In the park, there were many swings and slides and seesaws. Tom and Lily loved to play on the swings. They would push each other and go very high and fast. One day, they saw a silly man in the park. He was wearing a funny hat and a funny coat and funny shoes. He had a big red nose and a big smile. He was making jokes and tricks and making people laugh. He had a big bag with him. He opened the bag and took out some balloons. He blew the balloons and made them into different shapes. He made a dog, a cat, a flower, a sword, and a hat. He gave the balloons to the children who were watching him. Tom and Lily wanted a balloon too. They ran to the silly man and asked him for a balloon. The silly man smiled and said, "Sure, I have a special balloon for you. It is a swing balloon. You can swing on it and have fun." He took out a big yellow balloon and tied a long string to it. He gave the balloon to Tom and Lily and said, "Hold on tight and don't let go. This balloon will take you up in the sky and swing you around. Are you ready?" Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" The silly man let go of the balloon and it flew up in the air. Tom and Lily held on to the string and felt the wind in their hair. They were swinging on the balloon and laughing and shouting. They felt like they were flying. They saw the park and the pool and the hotel from above. They saw the silly man waving at them and saying, "Have fun, have fun, have fun!" Tom and Lily had a lot of fun on the swing balloon. They swung for a long time and then the balloon slowly came down. They landed safely on the ground and thanked the silly man for the balloon. The silly man said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the swing balloon. It was a special gift for you. Now you can keep it and play with it whenever you want." He gave them a hug and a kiss and said, "Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye!" Tom and Lily ran back to their mom and dad and showed them the swing balloon. They told them about the silly man and his jokes and tricks and balloons. They said, "He was so funny and nice and he gave us a swing balloon. We swung on it and it was so fun. We love the swing balloon. We love the silly man. We love the hotel. We love the park. We love the swings. We love everything!" Mom and dad smiled and hugged them and said, "We love you too. We love you too. We love you too!" Lily was excited to see the band. She liked the loud sounds and the bright colors. She put on her pink hat and her shiny shoes. She held her daddy's hand and walked to the park. The band was on a big stage. They had drums and guitars and horns. They played songs that made Lily want to dance and clap. She saw other kids clapping too. She smiled and jumped up and down. "Can I go closer, daddy?" she asked. "I want to see the band better." "Okay, but be careful," her daddy said. "Don't go too far. Stay where I can see you." Lily nodded and ran to the front of the stage. She felt happy and free. She clapped louder and louder. She waved at the band. She hoped they would see her and smile. But the band did not see her. They were busy playing their music. They did not notice the big speaker that was about to fall. It was loose and wobbly. It tipped over and crashed down. Lily did not see it either. She was looking at the band. She did not hear the scream or the bang. She only felt a sharp pain and a dark blur. Then she felt nothing at all. Her daddy saw it. He saw the speaker fall. He saw Lily fall. He ran to her. He shouted her name. He cried and cried. He wished he had not let her go. He wished he could clap with her again. Tom and Mia like to play in the garden. They have a big melon that they want to eat for lunch. They roll the melon on the grass and laugh. "Be careful, Tom," Mia says. "Don't lose the melon." "I won't, Mia," Tom says. "I am careful." But Tom is not careful. He rolls the melon too hard and it goes over the fence. The melon lands in the street and a car runs over it. The melon breaks and splashes. "Oh no!" Tom and Mia cry. "We lost the melon!" They run to the fence and look at the mess. They are sad and hungry. "Sorry, Mia," Tom says. "It was my fault." "It's okay, Tom," Mia says. "We can share my sandwich." They hug and go inside. They eat the sandwich and drink some juice. They are still sad, but they are also friends. Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a snake on the grass. It is long and green and has black spots. "Look, a snake!" Lila says. She is not afraid. She likes animals. "Let's go closer," Ben says. He is curious. He wants to touch the snake. They walk slowly to the snake. The snake does not move. It is sunning itself. "Hi, snake," Lila says. She smiles. She reaches out her hand. "Stop, Lila!" Ben says. He pulls her back. "The snake might bite you. It might be bad." "No, it won't," Lila says. She is annoyed. "The snake is nice. It is healthy. It eats bugs and mice. It does not eat people." Ben does not believe her. He thinks the snake is dangerous. He wants to tease the snake. He picks up a stick and pokes the snake. "Hey, snake, wake up!" Ben says. He laughs. He thinks he is funny. The snake does not like being poked. It hisses and coils up. It looks angry. "Ben, stop it!" Lila says. She is scared. She does not want the snake to be mad. "You are being mean. The snake will hurt you." Ben does not listen. He pokes the snake again. The snake strikes. It bites Ben's hand. "Ow!" Ben cries. He drops the stick. He holds his hand. It hurts. It bleeds. Lila runs to him. She is sorry. She hugs him. She says, "I told you not to tease the snake. The snake was not happy. You need to be nice to animals." Ben nods. He is sorry too. He says, "You are right, Lila. I was not nice. I was silly. I need to be careful. Can you help me?" Lila says, "Yes, I can. Come on, let's go to the nurse. She will make your hand better. Then we can play something else. Something safe." They leave the snake alone. The snake slithers away. It is happy. It finds a new spot to sun. It does not want to be teased again. Sam and Mia are playing in the garden. They have a big box that they pretend is a castle. They use sticks and stones to make a fence around it. They are eager to protect their castle from the bad guys. "Who are the bad guys?" Mia asks Sam. "Anyone who tries to take our castle," Sam says. "We have to watch out for them." They see a man walking on the street. He is wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He has a bag over his shoulder. He stops at their gate and takes out a letter. He puts it in the post. "Look, a bad guy!" Sam shouts. "He is trying to steal our post!" Sam and Mia grab their sticks and run to the gate. They wave their sticks at the man and yell, "Go away, bad guy! This is our castle! This is our post!" The man is surprised and scared. He drops the letter and runs away. "Yay, we did it!" Sam and Mia cheer. "We protected our castle and our post!" They hug each other and go back to their box. They are happy and proud. They do not know that the man was just a mailman. Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. "Come on, Ben, it's fun!" Anna says. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. "No, thank you, Anna. It's too high. I don't like it." Ben says. He stays on the ground and watches Anna. Anna slides down the slide and laughs. She feels happy. She wants Ben to feel happy too. She has an idea. She finds a piece of paper and a crayon. She writes a note for Ben. She writes: "Ben, you are brave. You can do it. I will help you. Anna." She runs back to the slide and gives the note to Ben. Ben reads the note. He feels a little better. He smiles at Anna. "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. You provide me with courage." Ben says. He holds Anna's hand and they walk to the slide together. They climb up the ladder slowly. Ben feels nervous, but Anna is with him. They reach the top of the slide. They look down. It's not so high anymore. "Are you ready, Ben?" Anna asks. "Yes, I am ready, Anna." Ben answers. They slide down the slide together. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and shout. They feel happy. They reach the bottom of the slide. They hug each other. They are proud of themselves. They see a boy and a girl watching them. The boy and the girl are older. They are mean. They point at Ben and Anna and laugh. "Look at them, they are so silly. They need a note to go on the slide. They are babies. They should be embarrassed." The boy says. The girl nods and says: "Yeah, they are so lame. They can't do anything by themselves. They are losers." Ben and Anna hear the boy and the girl. They feel sad and angry. They don't like the boy and the girl. They are rude and mean. They want them to go away. "Hey, stop it! You are not nice. You are bullies. You don't know anything about us. We are not babies. We are friends. We help each other. We have fun. We are not embarrassed. We are happy." Anna says. She stands up and faces the boy and the girl. She holds Ben's hand. Ben stands up too. He supports Anna. He is not scared anymore. The boy and the girl are surprised. They didn't expect Anna and Ben to talk back. They don't know what to say. They feel ashamed. They look at each other and run away. Anna and Ben smile at each other. They are glad they stood up for themselves. They are glad they have each other. They are friends. They go back to the slide and play some more. They have a good day. Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. One day, they decided to dress up as their favorite animals. Lily wanted to be a cat and Max wanted to be a shrimp. They found some clothes and accessories in their closet and put them on. "Look at me, I'm a cat!" Lily said, wearing a black shirt, a pink skirt, and a headband with ears. She pretended to scratch the sofa and meow. "Look at me, I'm a shrimp!" Max said, wearing a red sweater, a brown belt, and a hat with eyes. He curled up on the floor and wiggled his legs. Lily and Max looked at each other and laughed. They thought they were very clever and funny. But then, their big brother Sam came into the room. He saw them and frowned. He did not like their game. "What are you doing?" he asked. "You look silly. Cats and shrimps are not friends. They are enemies. Cats eat shrimps. You should not dress up like that." Lily and Max felt sad and angry. They did not like Sam's words. They liked their game. They thought they were intelligent and creative. "No, you are wrong," Lily said. "Cats and shrimps can be friends. We are friends. We are not silly. We are smart." "Yeah, you are wrong," Max said. "Cats and shrimps are not enemies. They are nice. We are nice. We are not stupid. We are clever." Sam rolled his eyes. He did not believe them. He thought they were childish and foolish. "Whatever," he said. "You can play your dumb game. But don't bother me. I'm going to read a book. A book for big kids. A book with big words. A book that you can't understand." He left the room and slammed the door. Lily and Max looked at each other and shrugged. They did not care about Sam's book. They did not care about his big words. They cared about their game. They cared about their fun. They cared about their friendship. They hugged each other and smiled. They continued to play as a cat and a shrimp. They thought they were the best. Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play dress up. They have many hats, scarves, and coats. They can be anyone they want. One day, they see a poster. It says there is a dress up contest. The winner will get a prize. Lily and Ben want to join. They think of what to wear. "I will be a pirate," Ben says. He wears a big hat, a patch, and a sword. He looks scary. "I will be a princess," Lily says. She wears a colorful dress, a crown, and a necklace. She looks pretty. They go to the contest. There are many other kids. They all wear different things. Some are animals, some are superheroes, some are clowns. The judge looks at everyone. He smiles. He says, "You all did a great job. But there can only be one winner. And the winner is... Lily and Ben!" Lily and Ben are happy. They hug each other. The judge gives them a prize. It is a big box of stickers. They are colorful and shiny. "Wow, thank you!" Lily and Ben say. They share the stickers with their friends. They all stick them on their hats, scarves, and coats. They look more colorful than ever. They have fun. Lily liked to wear yellow. She had a yellow dress, a yellow hat, and yellow shoes. She thought yellow was the best color in the world. She wanted to show everyone her yellow outfit at school. But when she got to school, she saw that no one else was wearing yellow. They were wearing red, blue, green, and purple. They looked at Lily and laughed. They said yellow was a silly color. They said Lily looked like a banana. Lily felt very sad and embarrassed. She wished she had worn a different color. She wanted to hide in the corner and cry. She did not want to play with anyone. Then her teacher came and saw Lily. She smiled and said, "Lily, you look very pretty in yellow. Yellow is a bright and happy color. It suits you very well. Don't listen to the other children. They are just being mean. You should be proud of your yellow outfit." Lily looked at her teacher and felt a little better. She said, "Thank you, teacher. You are very nice. But why do they laugh at me? Why don't they like yellow?" The teacher said, "Some people have different tastes and opinions. They may not like yellow, but that does not mean you have to change. You have the right to wear what you like and be yourself. As long as you are obedient and kind, you are a good student and a good friend." Lily nodded and smiled. She thought her teacher was very wise and kind. She decided to be obedient and kind, and not to care about what the other children said. She thought maybe they would change their minds and like yellow too. But they did not. They kept laughing at Lily and calling her names. They did not want to play with her or be her friend. They made fun of her yellow outfit every day. They made her feel very lonely and unhappy. They made her hate yellow. They made her hate school. They made her hate herself. Mia and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with a long neck and legs. It was an ostrich. Mia and Ben wanted to pet it. "Hello, ostrich," Mia said. "Can we touch you?" The ostrich did not answer. It looked at Mia and Ben with big eyes. It was shy. "Please, ostrich," Ben said. "We are nice. We just want to be your friends." The ostrich nodded. It let Mia and Ben come closer. They stroked its soft feathers. The ostrich liked it. It made a happy sound. "Wow, you are so cool, ostrich," Mia said. "Can you run fast?" The ostrich nodded again. It showed Mia and Ben how fast it could run. It ran around the park. Mia and Ben ran after it. They had fun. But then, the ostrich ran into a tree. It hit its head. It fell down. It was hurt. Mia and Ben stopped. They were worried. "Are you okay, ostrich?" Mia asked. The ostrich got up. It was not badly hurt. But it was embarrassed. It had made a silly mistake. It hid its head under its wing. It did not want Mia and Ben to see it. "Oh, ostrich, don't be sad," Ben said. "It was an accident. It can happen to anyone." "Yes, ostrich, we still like you," Mia said. "You are still cool. And brave. And cute." The ostrich peeked from under its wing. It saw Mia and Ben smiling. They were not mad. They were kind. The ostrich felt better. It lifted its head. It smiled back. "Thank you, Mia and Ben," the ostrich said. "You are good friends. I am sorry I ran into the tree. I was trying to impress you." "That's okay, ostrich," Mia and Ben said. "You don't have to impress us. We like you for who you are." They hugged the ostrich. The ostrich hugged them back. They were happy. They played some more. They had a great day. Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from. "Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Ben said, showing his creation to his sister. "It is very tall and strong. Do you like it?" "Yes, Ben, it is very nice. But I like my house better. It has a door and a window and a roof. And it has a piece of cloth for a curtain. Do you see?" Lily said, pointing to her house. Ben looked at Lily's house and felt a little jealous. He wanted to have a piece of cloth for his tower too. He saw that Lily had another piece of cloth on the floor, next to her house. He reached out to grab it. "Hey, that is mine!" Lily shouted, pulling the cloth back. "You have your own blocks, leave my cloth alone!" "No, I want it! It is pretty and soft. Give it to me!" Ben shouted back, trying to take the cloth from Lily. They both pulled hard on the cloth, but neither of them could get it. "Stop it, you two!" Mom said, coming into the living room. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the cloth. She was worried that they would tear it or hurt each other. "Why are you arguing? Can't you share?" "No, Mom, he wants to take my cloth!" Lily said, still holding on to the cloth. "No, Mom, she won't let me have a piece of cloth!" Ben said, still trying to get the cloth. Mom sighed and took the cloth from their hands. She folded it in half and cut it with scissors. She gave one half to Lily and one half to Ben. "Here, now you both have a piece of cloth. You can use it for your blocks or for anything else you like. But please, don't fight over it. And don't resist when I ask you to do something. It is not nice to disobey or to be greedy. Do you understand?" Mom said, looking at them sternly. Lily and Ben nodded and said sorry. They took their pieces of cloth and went back to their blocks. They decided to work together and make a big castle with a tower and a house and a bridge. They used their pieces of cloth for flags and banners. They were happy and proud of their castle. They thanked Mom for the cloth and gave her a hug. Mom smiled and hugged them back. She was glad that they learned to share and to cooperate. She hoped that they would always be kind and respectful to each other. One day, Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw many other kids and some dogs and birds. They were having fun. Then, a man came to the park. He had a big bag and a hat. He looked at Lily and Tom and smiled. He walked to them and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want some candy? I have many in my bag. They are very yummy." Lily and Tom did not know the man. He was a stranger. They felt scared. They did not want to talk to him. They ran to their mom and hugged her. They told her what the man said. Their mom was angry. She looked at the man and said, "Go away. You are not nice. You should not talk to kids you do not know. You should not offer them candy. That is bad." The man was surprised. He said, "But I just wanted to be friendly. I have no one to talk to. I am lonely. Is there no one available to chat with me?" Their mom said, "No. There is not. You should leave now. Or I will call the police. They will come and take you away. You are not safe. You are a stranger." The man was scared. He said, "Sorry. I did not mean to bother you. I will go now." He took his bag and his hat and ran away. Lily and Tom were happy. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are brave. You are smart. You are the best." Their mom said, "You are welcome, my loves. You are brave and smart too. You did the right thing. You did not answer the stranger. You came to me. You are the best." They hugged and kissed. They went back to play. They had fun. They were safe. Lisa liked her new classroom. It had many toys, books and colors. She also liked her teacher, Miss Amy. Miss Amy was kind and attractive. She had long hair and a nice smile. One day, Lisa was playing with a doll when she heard a loud scream. She looked up and saw a boy running to the door. He was crying and holding his nose. He had blood on his face. Lisa was scared and curious. Miss Amy saw the boy and ran to him. She asked him what happened. He said that another boy hit him with a truck. Miss Amy was angry and sad. She took the boy to the nurse and told the other boy to sit in the corner. Lisa felt sorry for the boy who was hurt. She also felt mad at the boy who hit him. She did not like mean kids. She wanted to help the boy who was hurt. She picked up her doll and walked to the door. She asked Miss Amy if she could go to the nurse with the boy. Miss Amy smiled and said yes. Lisa followed Miss Amy and the boy to the nurse. She gave the boy her doll and said, "This is my friend. She will make you feel better." The boy smiled and said, "Thank you. You are nice." Lisa felt happy and proud. She liked her new classroom. Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play near the mill. The mill was a big house with a wheel that turned by the water. The mill made flour from wheat. Tom and Sue liked to watch the miller work and sometimes he gave them a piece of bread. One day, Tom and Sue saw a sign on the mill door. The sign had a picture of a man with a big smile and a hat. The sign said: "Jolly Jack, the clown, is here today. Come and see his show at noon." "Wow, a clown!" Tom said. "I want to see him. Do you, Sue?" "Yes, I do!" Sue said. "Let's go and tell our moms. Maybe they will let us go." Tom and Sue ran to their homes and asked their moms if they could go to the mill. Their moms said yes, but they had to be careful and come back soon. Tom and Sue thanked their moms and ran back to the mill. When they got there, they saw a lot of people waiting outside the mill. They also saw Jolly Jack, the clown, standing by the door. He had a red nose, a big bow tie, and funny shoes. He waved at Tom and Sue and said: "Hello, little ones. Are you ready for some fun?" "Yes, we are!" Tom and Sue said. "Then come on in!" Jolly Jack said. "The show is about to start. You will see magic, jokes, and balloons. You will laugh and clap and have a jolly time." Tom and Sue followed Jolly Jack into the mill. They found a seat near the front and waited for the show. They were very excited and happy. They liked Jolly Jack, the clown, and they liked the mill. They had a wonderful day. Sara loves her kitten, Luna. Luna is very soft and cute, but sometimes she is very wild. She likes to run and jump and play with everything. She does not listen to Sara or her mom. One day, Sara and Luna are in the living room. Luna sees a ball of yarn on the table. She thinks it is a toy. She jumps on the table and grabs the yarn. She runs around the room with the yarn in her mouth. She makes a big mess. Sara's mom comes in and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Luna, you are a bad kitten! You need to behave! Look what you did to the yarn and the table and the couch! You are in trouble!" Luna drops the yarn and looks at Sara's mom. She is scared. She runs to Sara and hides behind her legs. Sara hugs Luna and says, "I'm sorry, mom. Luna is still a baby. She does not know better. She just wants to have fun. Please don't be mad at her." Sara's mom sighs. She loves Sara and Luna, but she does not like the mess. She says, "Sara, you are a good girl. You are kind and gentle with Luna. But you need to teach her how to behave. She can't play with things that are not toys. She can hurt herself or break something. Do you understand?" Sara nods. She says, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will teach Luna how to behave. I will show her what are toys and what are not. I will play with her and make her happy. But can we keep the yarn? Luna likes it a lot." Sara's mom smiles. She says, "Okay, we can keep the yarn. But only for Luna. And only in a safe place. And only when you are with her. Deal?" Sara and Luna say, "Deal!" They give Sara's mom a kiss and a hug. They go to Sara's room with the yarn. They play nicely and quietly. They behave. Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen with Mom. One day, Mom makes a big pie for dinner. She puts the pie on the table and tells Lily and Ben not to touch it. "It is very hot and you can get hurt," Mom says. "And it is for dinner, not for now. You can have some later, after you eat your vegetables." Lily and Ben nod, but they are very curious about the pie. It smells good and looks smooth and yummy. When Mom goes to the living room, they sneak to the table. Lily stands on a chair and reaches for the pie. Ben stands next to her and watches. "Be careful, Lily," Ben says. "Mom said not to touch it." Lily does not listen. She wants to taste the pie. She puts her finger on the pie and feels the heat. She pulls her finger back and cries. It hurts a lot. She drops the pie on the floor. It breaks and makes a big mess. Mom hears the noise and comes back to the kitchen. She sees Lily and Ben and the pie on the floor. She is very angry and sad. "What did you do?" Mom asks. "Why did you not listen to me? You could have burned yourself and ruined the dinner." Lily and Ben are sorry. They say they are sorry to Mom. They help her clean the mess. They learn their lesson. They do not touch things that are hot and not for them. They wait for their turn and eat their vegetables. They are good twins. Mom forgives them and gives them a hug. She makes a new pie for another day. Lila was a graceful daughter who loved to dance. She liked to spin and jump and twirl in her pink dress. She wanted to be a dancer when she grew up. One day, she had a test at school. She had to show her teacher and her friends how well she could dance. She was very excited and practiced a lot at home. She wanted to do her best. On the day of the test, she put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She went to school with her mom. She said goodbye to her mom and went to the dance room. She saw her teacher and her friends. They were all ready to dance. Lila waited for her turn. She watched the other children dance. Some were good, some were not. She smiled and clapped for them. She was not scared. She was happy. Then it was her turn. She walked to the front of the room. She heard the music start. She began to dance. She spun and jumped and twirled. She felt like a fairy. She looked at her teacher and her friends. They looked at her. But then something bad happened. She slipped on the floor. She fell down hard. She hurt her knee. She cried out loud. She felt pain and shame. She stopped dancing. She heard the music stop. She saw her teacher and her friends. They did not smile or clap. They laughed at her. They pointed at her. They said mean words. They made fun of her. She felt very sad and angry. She wished she could disappear. She wished she could go home. She wished she never danced. She hated the test. She hated the school. She hated herself. Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big wall with many colors. They want to watch the wall. They run to the wall and look at it. They see red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They see shapes, animals, and letters. They point and say what they see. They are happy and excited. A man comes to the wall. He has a bag and a brush. He says hello to Tom and Anna. He says he is the one who paints the wall. He says he likes to make the wall beautiful and fun. He is kind and friendly. He asks Tom and Anna if they want to help him. He gives them each a small brush and some paint. He shows them how to paint on the wall. He lets them choose the colors and the shapes. They paint a star, a heart, a cat, and a T and an A. They are careful and proud. Tom and Anna have fun painting the wall. They thank the man for letting them help. They hug their moms and show them their work. They say goodbye to the man and the wall. They go home happy and tired. They had a good day. Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going to have a picnic with Mom and Dad in the park. They packed some sandwiches, fruits, cookies and juice in a big basket. They also brought a ball, a kite and a book. They got in the car and drove to the park. It was a sunny day and the sky was blue. They found a nice spot under a big tree and spread a blanket on the grass. They opened the basket and started to eat. They shared their food and talked and laughed. But then, something bad happened. A big dog came running towards them. He was very fast and loud. He jumped on the blanket and knocked over the basket. He ate some of the sandwiches and fruits. He spilled the juice and tore the book. He spoiled the picnic! Anna and Ben were very scared and sad. They cried and hugged Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad were angry and tried to shoo the dog away. But the dog was not afraid. He barked and wagged his tail. He wanted to play. Then, Anna and Ben saw something funny. The dog had a collar and a tag. It said: "Hi, I'm Spot. I'm very adventurous and friendly. I love to explore and make new friends. Please call my owner if you find me. He misses me a lot." Anna and Ben stopped crying and smiled. They realized that the dog was not mean. He was just lost and curious. They petted him and threw the ball for him. He fetched it and brought it back. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. He was very cute and playful. Mom and Dad called the owner and told him where they were. He came to the park and thanked them for finding his dog. He apologized for the mess and offered to buy them a new picnic. They said it was okay and that they had fun with Spot. They said goodbye and hugged him. Anna and Ben learned a lesson. They learned that sometimes things don't go as planned. They learned that sometimes accidents happen. They learned that sometimes strangers can become friends. They learned that being adventurous can be fun. They learned that a spoiled picnic can turn into a happy adventure. Tom and Anna liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could make towers, houses, cars, and animals with their blocks. They had fun together. One day, they found a new block in their toy box. It was a big, shiny, silver block. It was a square. They had never seen a square like this before. It was unusual. "Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "It's so pretty and smooth. I want to play with it." "No, I want to play with it!" Anna said. "It's mine. I saw it first." They both grabbed the square and pulled hard. They did not want to share. They started to fight. Suddenly, the square made a loud noise. It beeped and flashed. It opened up and a small robot came out. The robot had two eyes, a mouth, and four legs. It looked at Tom and Anna. "Hello, I am Zee. I am a friendly robot. I came from a faraway place. I want to play with you. But you have to stop fighting. Fighting is bad. Sharing is good. Can you share the square with me?" Zee said. Tom and Anna were surprised. They let go of the square and looked at Zee. They felt sorry for fighting. They nodded. "OK, we can share. We are sorry, Zee. You can play with us. What do you like to do?" Tom said. "I like to learn new things. I like to sing and dance. I like to make jokes. I like to be happy. Do you like these things too?" Zee said. "Yes, we do. We can teach you some things. We can sing and dance with you. We can laugh with you. We can be happy with you." Anna said. They smiled and hugged Zee. They took the square and the other blocks and made a big spaceship. They pretended to fly to Zee's faraway place. They had a lot of fun together. They became good friends. They learned to share. They were happy. Tom and Mia liked to play on the beach. They liked to build castles with sand and shells. They also liked to look for shrimp in the water. Shrimp were small and pink and had many legs. One day, Tom and Mia found a big shrimp. It was bigger than their hand. They wanted to keep it as a pet. They put it in a bucket with some water and seaweed. "Look at our shrimp!" Tom said. "He is so big and strong!" "Yes, he is!" Mia said. "But we have to be careful. He is also delicate. He needs a lot of water and food and space." Tom and Mia decided to build a home for their shrimp. They dug a hole in the sand and filled it with water. They added some rocks and shells and plants. They made a fence with sticks and seaweed. "There!" Tom said. "Now our shrimp has a nice home!" They put their shrimp in the hole. He swam around and explored his new home. He seemed happy. Tom and Mia watched him with a smile. They were happy too. They had a new friend. Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big bird with a long neck and a red head. The bird has big wings. "Look, a bird!" Tom says. "What is it?" Lily asks. "I don't know. Maybe a duck?" Tom says. They go closer to the bird. The bird sees them and makes a loud sound. It sounds like "honk, honk, honk!" The bird is not a duck. It is a goose. The goose is not happy. It flaps its wings and runs after Tom and Lily. "Run, run, run!" Tom says. They run away from the goose. They are scared. But then they see a man. The man is smart. He has a hat and a stick. He sees the goose and says "Shoo, shoo, shoo!" He waves his stick at the goose. The goose stops and runs away. Tom and Lily are safe. They are happy. They say "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" to the man. The man smiles and says "You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome!" Tom and Lily laugh. They laugh and laugh and laugh. They think the goose is funny. They think the man is kind. They think the park is fun. They play some more. They have a good day. Ben and Lily were playing with snow in the garden. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They also gave him two black buttons for eyes and a smile. "Look, our snowman is so happy!" Lily said. "Yes, he is. He likes the snow and the sun," Ben said. But then, the sun became very hot. The snow started to melt. The snowman became smaller and smaller. His hat and scarf fell off. His carrot nose dropped to the ground. His black buttons and smile disappeared. "Oh no, our snowman is gone!" Lily cried. "Don't cry, Lily. We can make another one tomorrow," Ben said. He picked up a card from the ground. It was a birthday card from their grandma. She had sent it in the mail. It had a picture of a cake and candles on it. "Look, Lily. Grandma sent us a card. She says happy birthday and she loves us," Ben said. He showed the card to Lily. She smiled and wiped her tears. "Thank you, Ben. I love you and grandma too," Lily said. They hugged each other and went inside the house. They put the card on the table and ate some cake. They were happy. Sara and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big snake on the grass. It was green and brown and had a long tail. "Look, a snake!" Sara said. "Let's go and see it." "No, snakes are scary!" Ben said. "They can bite and hurt us. Let's stay away." But Sara was curious. She wanted to touch the snake. She walked slowly to the snake. The snake did not move. It looked at Sara with its small eyes. "Hello, snake," Sara said. "You are pretty. Can I be your friend?" The snake did not answer. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. Sara was not afraid. She reached out her hand to the snake. "Stop, Sara!" Ben shouted. "The snake is dangerous! Come back!" But it was too late. The snake bit Sara's hand. Sara screamed and let go of the snake. The snake slithered away and vanished in the bushes. Sara cried and held her hand. It was red and swollen. Ben ran to Sara and hugged her. "I'm sorry, Sara," Ben said. "Are you okay?" Sara shook her head. She felt sick and dizzy. She needed help. "Help, help!" Ben yelled. "My sister is hurt! She was bitten by a snake!" A man heard Ben's cry. He was a park ranger. He had a hat, a badge and a radio. He ran to Sara and Ben. "What happened?" he asked. "A snake bit Sara," Ben said. "It was a big snake. It vanished in the bushes." The park ranger looked at Sara's hand. He recognized the snake. It was an ancient snake. It was very old and very rare. It was also very venomous. "Oh no," he said. "This is bad. We need to get Sara to the hospital. Fast." He picked up Sara and carried her to his car. He called the hospital on his radio. He told them to get ready for Sara. He drove as fast as he could. Ben followed him. He was scared and sad. He wished he had stopped Sara from touching the snake. He hoped Sara would be okay. He prayed for his sister. Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. "Let's tell him a story," Anna says. "Maybe he will come alive." "OK," Ben says. "You start." Anna thinks hard. She wants to tell a good story. She says, "Once upon a time, there was a thick forest. In the forest, there lived a big bear. He was very hungry and grumpy. He wanted to find some honey." Ben listens. He likes the story. He says, "Then what happened?" Anna says, "The bear saw a bee hive. He climbed up a tree to get it. But the bees were angry. They buzzed and stung him. He fell down and hit his head. He was very sad." Ben laughs. He says, "That's funny. Poor bear." Anna says, "It's your turn. What happened next?" Ben thinks hard. He wants to tell a good story. He says, "Then a little girl came by. She saw the bear. She was not afraid. She said, 'Hello, Mr. Bear. Why are you sad?'" Anna listens. She likes the story. She says, "Then what happened?" Ben says, "The bear said, 'I'm sad because I'm hungry and I have no honey. And the bees hurt me.' The little girl said, 'I have some honey in my basket. You can have some. But you have to be nice and share.' The bear said, 'Thank you, little girl. You are very kind. I will share with you.'" Anna smiles. She says, "That's nice. They became friends." Ben says, "Yes. They ate the honey and talked. They had fun. The end." Anna and Ben clap. They say, "That was a good story. Maybe the snowman liked it too." They look at the snowman. He has a big smile on his face. He says, "I did like it. Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very good storytellers. Can I play with you?" Anna and Ben are surprised. They say, "Wow! He came alive!" They hug the snowman. They say, "Of course you can play with us. You are our new friend." They play in the snow. They have more fun. They are happy. But then, they hear their mom call. She says, "Anna and Ben, come inside. It's time for lunch." They say, "OK, mom. We're coming." They say goodbye to the snowman. They say, "We'll be back soon. Don't go away." They run to the house. But they slip on the ice. They fall down and laugh. They get up and go inside. They have lunch. They tell their mom about the snowman. She smiles and says, "That's a wonderful story. I'm glad you had fun." They say, "We did, mom. We did." Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the jungle. They saw many animals and plants there. They had fun climbing trees and swinging on vines. One day, they found a big cave. They wanted to see what was inside. "Come, Tom, let's go in the cave!" Lily said. "No, Lily, I'm scared. It's dark and cold. Maybe there are snakes or spiders or other bad things," Tom said. "Don't be a baby, Tom. It's an adventure. Maybe we'll find treasure or magic or something cool," Lily said. She pulled Tom by the hand and they went in the cave. They walked for a long time. They saw nothing but rocks and dirt. They heard nothing but their own footsteps. They felt nothing but cold and damp. They got lost and tired and hungry. "Lily, I want to go back. I don't like this cave. It's boring and scary and hard," Tom said. "Me too, Tom. I'm sorry I made you come. I was wrong. This cave is not fun. It's dead. Let's try to find the way out," Lily said. They turned around and walked back the way they came. They hoped to see the light of the sun and the green of the jungle. They hoped to hear the sounds of the birds and the monkeys. They hoped to feel the warmth of the air and the softness of the grass. They hoped to be safe and happy again. Moral: Sometimes, curiosity can lead to trouble. It's good to explore new things, but it's also good to listen to your feelings and your friends. The jungle is alive and beautiful, but the cave is dead and dull. Be careful where you go and what you do. Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play with figures. They had many figures of animals, people and cars. One day, they went to the toy store with their moms. They saw a big box of new figures. They wanted to buy some. "Can we have some figures, mom?" Tom asked. "Sure, you can choose one each," his mom said. Tom and Anna looked at the box. There were so many figures. They had different colors, shapes and sizes. Tom saw a figure of a lion. He liked lions. They were strong and brave. He took the lion figure. Anna saw a figure of a unicorn. She liked unicorns. They were pretty and magical. She took the unicorn figure. But then, they saw another figure. It was a figure of a dragon. It was green and shiny. It had wings and a tail. It looked cool and fun. Tom and Anna both wanted the dragon figure. "I want the dragon," Tom said. "No, I want the dragon," Anna said. They both reached for the figure. They pulled and tugged. They did not want to share. "Stop it, you two," Tom's mom said. "You can't have the same figure. You have to choose another one." "But I like the dragon," Tom said. "So do I," Anna said. They looked at each other. They felt sad and angry. They did not want to lose the dragon. They did not want to lose their friend. They saw a little boy near the box. He was shy. He did not have any figures. He looked at the dragon. He smiled. Tom and Anna had an idea. They let go of the dragon. They gave it to the little boy. "Here, you can have the dragon," Tom said. "Yes, you can play with us," Anna said. The little boy was happy. He thanked them. He took the dragon. He joined them. Tom and Anna were happy too. They did not need the dragon. They had their figures. They had their friend. They chose to be kind. Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the sunflowers. The sunflowers were big and yellow. They smiled at Lily and Ben. "Look, this sunflower is dirty," Lily said. She saw some mud on the petals. "We should clean it." "How do we clean it?" Ben asked. "We can use water," Lily said. She ran to the tap and filled a bucket. Ben followed her with a sponge. They went back to the sunflower and poured some water on it. Then they rubbed the sponge gently on the petals. The mud came off and the sunflower looked bright and happy. "Thank you, Lily and Ben," the sunflower said. "You are very kind." Lily and Ben were surprised. They did not know that sunflowers could talk. "You are welcome, sunflower," Lily said. "You are very pretty." "We like you, sunflower," Ben said. "You are very friendly." The sunflower nodded and winked. "I like you too, Lily and Ben. You are very smart. But now you must go inside. It is getting late and you must be tired." Lily and Ben looked at the sky. It was getting dark and they felt sleepy. "Yes, we are tired," Lily said. "We had a lot of fun today." "Me too," Ben said. "We will come back tomorrow." They said goodbye to the sunflower and went inside. They washed their hands and faces and put on their pajamas. Then they climbed into their beds and closed their eyes. They dreamed of the sunflower and the garden. They were happy. Lila was a youth who liked to help people. She was honest and kind. One day, she saw a new girl in her class. The new girl looked sad and lonely. Lila wanted to be her friend. "Hi, I am Lila. What is your name?" Lila asked the new girl. "I am Nina. I am from another town. I miss my old friends," Nina said. "I am sorry you miss your old friends. I know how that feels. I moved here last year. It was hard at first, but then I made new friends. Do you want to play with me and my friends?" Lila offered. "Really? You want me to play with you?" Nina asked. "Of course. You are welcome to join us. We like to play with dolls and blocks and books. Come on, let me introduce you to them," Lila said. Lila took Nina by the hand and led her to a group of children who were playing on the rug. She introduced Nina to them and they all smiled and said hello. Nina felt happy and grateful. She thanked Lila for being so nice to her. "You are welcome, Nina. I am glad you are here. I hope we can be good friends," Lila said. Nina nodded and smiled. She felt less sad and lonely. She felt like she belonged. She and Lila played with the other children and had fun. They shared their dolls and blocks and books. They laughed and talked and learned. They became good friends. Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big, hairy dog. The dog is friendly and wants to play with them. He runs to them and wags his tail. "Hi, doggy!" Mia says. She pets the dog's fur. The dog licks her face. "Can we play with you, doggy?" Ben asks. He throws a stick for the dog. The dog chases the stick and brings it back. They play for a long time. The dog is happy and so are Ben and Mia. But then they hear their mom calling them. "Ben! Mia! It's time to go home!" "Oh no!" Ben says. "We have to hurry!" They run to their mom. The dog follows them. He wants to go with them. "Mom, can we keep the dog?" Mia asks. "He is so nice and fun!" Their mom looks at the dog. He is big and hairy. He is also heavy. He jumps on their mom and knocks her down. "Whoa!" their mom says. "This dog is too big and too heavy for us. He needs a lot of space and a lot of food. We can't keep him." Ben and Mia are sad. They hug the dog and say goodbye. "Bye, doggy!" they say. "We will miss you!" The dog barks and wags his tail. He is sad too, but he understands. He runs back to the park, looking for another friend to play with. Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a drum. They liked to bang the drum and march around the house. They pretended to be soldiers or musicians or explorers. One day, they had a big fight over the drum. Lily wanted to march first, but Ben wanted to march too. They both pulled the drum and shouted, "Mine! Mine!" They did not want to share or take turns. They were very competitive. Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the drum. She was not happy. She said, "Stop! Stop! Fighting is not nice. You have to share and be kind. If you can't play nicely, you have to take a nap." Lily and Ben did not want to take a nap. They wanted to play with the drum. But they knew Mom was serious. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben." They hugged and made up. Mom smiled and said, "That's better. Now you can play with the drum together. But first, you have to take a nap. You are tired and cranky. A nap will make you feel better. Then you can march and have fun." Lily and Ben agreed. They put the drum away and went to their beds. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of marching and playing with the drum. They learned that sharing and being kind is better than fighting and being competitive. Sara was a young girl who liked lollipops very much. She had a big jar of lollipops in her room, and she counted them every day. She had red ones, yellow ones, green ones, and blue ones. She liked to lick them and taste the different flavors. One day, Sara's mom said, "Sara, I have a surprise for you. I bought you some new lollipops. Do you want to see them?" Sara was very happy and said, "Yes, please, mom. I love lollipops. Thank you, mom." Sara's mom took her to the kitchen and showed her a big bag of lollipops. They were different from the ones Sara had. They were bigger, and they had stripes and swirls and stars on them. They looked very yummy. Sara's mom said, "These are special lollipops, Sara. They can increase in size when you lick them. They can grow bigger and bigger until they fill your mouth. Do you want to try one?" Sara was very curious and excited. She said, "Yes, mom. I want to try one. Can I have a pink one? Pink is my favorite color." Sara's mom gave her a pink lollipop and said, "Here you go, Sara. Enjoy your lollipop. But be careful, don't bite it. Just lick it gently and see what happens." Sara unwrapped the lollipop and put it in her mouth. She licked it and felt a sweet and sour taste. She liked it very much. She licked it again and again, and noticed that the lollipop was getting bigger. It was increasing in size. It was growing and growing. Sara was amazed and said, "Wow, mom. This is a magic lollipop. It is so big. Look, mom, look." Sara's mom looked at her and smiled. She said, "I see, Sara. You have a very big lollipop. Do you like it?" Sara nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I like it very much. It is the best lollipop ever. Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever." Sara's mom hugged her and said, "You are welcome, Sara. I love you very much. You are the best daughter ever." Sara and her mom smiled and laughed. They were very happy. They shared the big lollipop and enjoyed the sweet and sour taste. They had a lot of fun. Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play games. Sometimes they play with cards, sometimes they play with blocks, sometimes they play with dolls. They have fun, but they also want to win. One day, they play a game with dice. They roll the dice and move their pieces on the board. Tim gets a six and a five. He moves his piece to the end. He says, "I win! I win! I am the best!" Jen gets a four and a two. She moves her piece, but she is not at the end. She says, "No, you don't win! The game is not over! I can still catch up!" They roll the dice again and again. Tim gets low numbers. Jen gets high numbers. She moves her piece closer and closer to the end. She says, "See? I told you! I can win! I can win! I am the best!" Tim gets angry. He says, "No, you can't win! You are cheating! You are not fair! I don't want to play with you!" He throws the dice and the board on the floor. He stomps his feet and cries. He runs to his room and slams the door. Jen is sad. She says, "Tim, come back! Don't be mad! It's just a game! We can play something else!" But Tim does not answer. He lies on his bed and takes a nap. He is tired from playing and crying. Jen picks up the dice and the board. She puts them away. She goes to her room and takes a nap too. She is tired from playing and being persistent. They sleep for a long time. When they wake up, they feel better. They hug and say sorry. They say, "We love each other. We are twins. We can play and win together." Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big box under a tree. They want to know what is inside. They run to the box and try to open it. But the box is very heavy. They cannot lift it. They ask a man to help them. The man is nice. He comes to the box and tries to open it. But the box is very heavy. He cannot lift it either. He says, "This box is too heavy for me. Maybe there is something very big inside." Lily and Tom are curious. They want to see what is inside. They look for a way to open the box. They see a hole on the side of the box. They peek inside. They see a foot. A big foot. A hairy foot. A foot with claws. They scream and run away. The man hears them and looks inside the hole. He sees the foot too. He screams and runs away. The box shakes and makes a loud noise. Something is trying to get out. The box is not a box. It is a cage. And inside the cage is a bear. A big bear. A hungry bear. A bear that does not like to be in a cage. The bear breaks the cage and comes out. He looks around and sees Lily and Tom and the man. He roars and chases them. They run as fast as they can. They are scared. They hope the bear does not catch them. Lily and Ben were playing with their water guns in the garden. They liked to spray each other and the flowers and the bugs. They laughed and ran and had fun. "Look, Lily, I can spray the bird!" Ben said, pointing his water gun at a robin on the fence. "No, Ben, don't do that! The bird is nice and pretty. It sings for us. Leave it alone!" Lily said, trying to stop him. But Ben did not listen. He sprayed the bird with a big jet of water. The bird got wet and scared. It flew away, but not very fast. It hit a tree and fell to the ground. "Oh no, Ben, what did you do? You hurt the bird!" Lily cried, running to the bird. It was still alive, but it looked sad and hurt. Its wing was broken. "I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to hurt it. I just wanted to play." Ben said, feeling bad. "Maybe we can help it. Maybe we can take it to the vet. The vet can do an operation and fix its wing. Then it can fly again." Lily said, hoping. They picked up the bird gently and put it in a box. They ran to the house and asked their mom to take them to the vet. Their mom agreed and drove them to the vet. The vet looked at the bird and shook his head. He said the bird was too hurt and the operation was too hard. He said the bird would not fly again. He said the bird would be better off if he put it to sleep. Lily and Ben were very sad. They cried and said sorry to the bird. They wished they had not sprayed it. They wished they had been more useful and kind. They learned a hard lesson that day. Sara and Ben are playing with dolls. Sara has a big doll with a pink dress and a hat. Ben has a small doll with a blue shirt and pants. Sara likes her doll very much, but she wants to see Ben's doll too. "Can I play with your doll?" Sara asks Ben. Ben shakes his head. "No, this is my doll. You have your own doll." Sara feels sad. She thinks Ben's doll is cute and she wants to be friends with it. She looks at her doll and sees a pin on her hat. She has an idea. "Look, Ben, I have a pin for your doll. It is shiny and pretty. Do you want it?" Sara says. Ben looks at the pin. He likes shiny things. He nods. "Yes, I want it. Can I have it?" Sara smiles. She gives him the pin. "Yes, you can have it. But can I play with your doll for a little while?" Ben thinks. He likes the pin, but he also likes his doll. He decides to be nice. He accepts the pin and gives Sara his doll. "Okay, you can play with my doll. But only for a little while." Sara and Ben are happy. They play with each other's dolls and share the pin. They have fun and become good friends. Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a game. They pretend to be famous spies. They hide behind bushes and look for clues. One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a big hat and a funny coat. He walks around with a map and a magnifying glass. Lily and Ben think he is a spy too. "Let's follow him," Lily says. "Maybe he has a secret mission." "OK," Ben says. "But be quiet. He might hear us." They sneak behind the new boy. They watch him look at the map and the magnifying glass. He stops near a big bush. He bends down and digs in the dirt. He finds a small box. He opens it and smiles. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see what is in the box. They run to the bush and say hello. "Who are you?" the new boy asks. He looks surprised. "We are spies," Lily says. "We saw you find the box. What is in it?" The new boy laughs. He shows them the box. It has a sticker on it. It says: "Treasure Hunt. Find all the boxes and win a prize." "It's a game," the new boy says. "My name is Sam. I'm new here. Do you want to play with me?" Lily and Ben nod. They think the game sounds fun. "OK," Sam says. "But we have to hurry. There are more boxes to find. Come on, let's go." He puts the box in his coat and runs to the next clue. Lily and Ben follow him. They are happy. They have a new friend. They include him in their game. They are famous spies. Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big, tall cloud in the sky. It is white and fluffy. "Look, Anna, a cloud!" Tom says. "It looks like a bunny." "I see it, Tom. It is a cute bunny. Can I lend your crayon? I want to draw it." Anna says. "Sure, Anna. You can lend my crayon. Here you go." Tom says. He gives Anna his blue crayon. "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." Anna says. She takes the crayon and draws the cloud on a piece of paper. They sit on the grass and draw the cloud. They are happy. They smile at each other. The cloud smiles back at them. Lily was a wealthy girl who had many toys and books and clothes. She liked to play with her toys and read her books and wear her clothes, but she did not like to share them with anyone. She was selfish and rude to her friends and family. One day, she went to the zoo with her mom and dad. She saw many animals, like monkeys and elephants and giraffes. She wanted to have them all as her pets, but her mom and dad said no. She was angry and sad. Then she saw a big lion in a cage. He was sleeping on a rock. Lily thought he was beautiful and strong. She wanted to have him as her pet, too. She asked her mom and dad, but they said no again. She was very angry and sad. She decided to sneak into the cage and touch the lion. She thought he would like her and be her friend. She climbed over the fence and walked slowly to the lion. She reached out her hand and touched his fur. The lion woke up and saw Lily. He did not like her and he was not her friend. He was scared and angry. He opened his mouth and roared very loud. Lily was terrified and screamed. She ran back to the fence, but it was too high. She was trapped in the cage with the lion. Her mom and dad heard her scream and saw her in the cage. They were shocked and worried. They called for help. The zookeepers came and used a big stick to make the lion go away. They opened the gate and let Lily out. She was safe, but she was hurt and ashamed. She hugged her mom and dad and said she was sorry. She realized that she was foolish and greedy. She learned that she could not have everything she wanted, and that she should be kind and generous to others. She decided to share her toys and books and clothes with her friends and family. She also decided to respect and love the animals, and not to bother them. She understood that the lion was not her pet, but a part of the universe, just like her. The moral of the story is: Be humble and grateful for what you have, and do not take more than you need. Be respectful and compassionate to all living beings, and do not harm them. Be wise and careful, and do not put yourself in danger. Tom and Anna like candy very much. They have a big jar of candy in their room. But their mom says they can only have one candy each day. She does not want them to have too many sweets. One day, Tom and Anna have a plan. They want to eat more candy. They wait until mom is busy in the kitchen. Then they sneak into their room and open the jar. They take out many candies and put them in their pockets. They are very happy. But mom hears the noise. She goes to their room and sees the open jar. She is very angry. She asks Tom and Anna, "What are you doing? Did you take more candy?" Tom and Anna are scared. They do not want to get in trouble. They hide behind the bed and do not say anything. They hope mom will not find them. But mom is not fooled. She knows they are hiding. She says, "Come out now. You have been very naughty. You have to share your candy with your friends. And you have to say sorry to me." Tom and Anna come out slowly. They feel sorry. They give mom some of the candy. They say, "Sorry, mom. We will not do it again." Mom hugs them and says, "I love you, but you have to follow the rules. Candy is not good for you if you have too much. Now go and brush your teeth." Tom and Anna nod and go to the bathroom. They brush their teeth and spit out the candy. They think maybe mom is right. Candy is not so good after all. Ben likes to swing on the big swing in the park. He likes to feel the wind on his face and see the sky and the trees. He likes to go fast and high, like a bird. One day, he goes to the park with his mom and his sister. His sister is too small to swing, so she sits on the grass with mom. Ben runs to the swing and climbs on. He pushes with his feet and pulls with his hands. He swings higher and higher. He sees the sunshine in his eyes. It is bright and warm. He smiles and laughs. He feels happy. He swings even higher. But then, he hears a loud noise. It is a big dog. It is barking and running towards him. It looks angry and scary. Ben feels scared. He stops swinging and jumps off. He runs to his mom and his sister. He hugs them tight. Mom is alert. She sees the dog and the owner. She tells the owner to control the dog. She tells Ben that he is safe and brave. She kisses him and his sister. She says they can swing again when the dog is gone. Ben nods and smiles. He still likes to swing, but he also likes his mom and his sister. He feels happy again. Sam and Mia liked to create things with metal. They found metal cans, metal spoons, metal wires and metal nuts. They used a big tool to cut and bend the metal. They made metal cars, metal robots, metal animals and metal stars. One day, they wanted to create a metal crown for Mia. They used a metal can and cut it into a circle. They made metal points on the circle with the tool. They put metal nuts on the points to make them shiny. They tried to put the metal crown on Mia's head, but it was too big. "Let me make it tight for you," Sam said. He used the tool to squeeze the metal circle. He squeezed and squeezed until the metal circle was smaller. He put the metal crown on Mia's head again, but it was too tight. "Ow, ow, ow!" Mia cried. "It hurts! Take it off, take it off!" She tried to pull the metal crown off her head, but it was stuck. The metal points dug into her hair and skin. The metal nuts pressed on her ears and eyes. She screamed and screamed. Sam tried to help her, but he could not. The tool was too big and heavy. He could not open the metal circle. He could not break the metal points. He could not remove the metal nuts. He was scared and sorry. He did not know what to do. Mia and Sam cried and cried. They wished they never created the metal crown. They wished they played with something else. They wished someone would come and help them. But no one came. They were alone with the metal crown. It was a bad ending. Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tent with a sign that said "Show". They wanted to see what was inside. They paid a coin and entered the tent. There were many people sitting on chairs. In the middle of the tent, there was a man wearing a funny hat and a coat. He was holding a stick. "Welcome to the show, ladies and gentlemen!" he said. "Today, I will show you something amazing. Something you have never seen before. Behold, the skeleton!" He waved his stick and a curtain opened. Behind the curtain, there was a big skeleton. It had bones for arms, legs, head and body. It had no skin, no hair, no eyes, no nose, no mouth. Tom and Lily were scared. They had never seen a skeleton before. They thought it was a monster. They screamed and ran out of the tent. The man laughed. He said, "Don't be afraid, children. It's not a monster. It's a skeleton. A skeleton is what we have inside our bodies. It helps us stand, move and do things. It's not scary. It's amazing. Come back and see for yourself." But Tom and Lily did not listen. They kept running until they reached their home. They told their mom what they saw. Their mom was not happy. She said, "You should not run away from something you don't understand. You should try to learn and be curious. The skeleton is not a monster. It's a part of nature. The man was trying to teach you something. You should have stayed and watched the show. You should have applauded him for his work. He was not mean. He was nice." Tom and Lily felt bad. They realized they were rude and silly. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were scared and we did not know. We should have been brave and polite. We should have learned and applauded. Can we go back and see the show again?" Their mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. But first, you have to eat your dinner. It's soup. And it's not sour. It's yummy." Tom and Lily nodded. They ate their soup and thanked their mom. Then they went back to the park with their mom. They entered the tent again. They saw the man and the skeleton. They were not scared anymore. They were interested. They watched the show and learned many things. They applauded the man and said, "Thank you for the show. It was amazing. You are nice. The skeleton is not a monster. It's a part of nature. We are sorry we ran away. We are glad we came back." The man smiled. He said, "You're welcome, children. I'm glad you came back. You are brave and polite. You learned and applauded. You are not rude and silly. You are smart and kind." The end. Sam likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them go fast on the floor and on the sofa. Sometimes he makes them crash and makes loud noises. One day, Sam finds a big wheel in the garage. It is black and round and has a hole in the middle. It is very rough and heavy. Sam thinks it is a cool toy. He tries to roll it on the floor, but it is too hard. He tries to lift it, but it is too heavy. He tries to put it on his head, but it is too big. Sam has an idea. He gets a big blanket from his bed. He covers the wheel with the blanket. He makes a tent with the blanket and the wheel. He crawls inside the tent. He brings some of his toy cars with him. He pretends the wheel is a mountain and the cars are climbing it. He has fun in his tent. Mom comes to the garage. She sees the blanket and the wheel. She wonders what Sam is doing. She hears him giggling inside the tent. She smiles and says, "Sam, what are you doing in there?" Sam says, "I am playing with my wheel. It is a mountain. Do you want to see?" Mom says, "Yes, I do. Can I come in?" Sam says, "Yes, you can. But be careful. The wheel is rough." Mom crawls inside the tent. She sees the wheel and the cars. She says, "Wow, this is a great tent. And a great mountain. You are very creative, Sam." Sam says, "Thank you, Mom. Do you want to play with me?" Mom says, "Yes, I do. Let's play together." Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the creek with their mom and dad. The creek had clear water and many fish. Lily and Ben wanted to swim with the fish. They put on their swimsuits and jumped into the water. It was cold and wet, but they did not mind. They splashed and kicked and laughed. They saw some big fish and some small fish. They tried to catch them, but the fish were too fast. Then, they saw something hairy in the water. It was brown and furry and had a long tail. It was a beaver! The beaver was swimming to its home. It had a big pile of sticks and mud. Lily and Ben were curious. They followed the beaver, but they did not get too close. The beaver saw them and made a loud noise. It slapped its tail on the water. Lily and Ben were scared. They swam back to their mom and dad. They told them what they saw. Their mom and dad smiled and said they were lucky to see a beaver. They said beavers were shy and smart animals. They said they should not bother them. Lily and Ben nodded. They learned something new. They were happy. They swam some more and then went home. They had a fun day at the creek. Lily liked to work in the garden with her mom. She had a small shovel and a watering can. She helped mom dig holes and plant flowers. She watered the flowers and watched them grow. One day, Lily saw a drain in the corner of the garden. She wondered what was inside. She walked over and looked down. She saw a shiny coin and a red button. She wanted to get them. She reached her hand into the drain. "Stop, Lily!" mom said. "Don't touch the drain. It is dirty and dangerous. You could get hurt or stuck. Come back here." Lily pulled her hand out of the drain. She was sad. She wanted the coin and the button. Mom saw her face and hugged her. "I'm sorry, Lily. I know you are curious. But the drain is not a good place to play. How about we go inside and have a snack? I have a surprise for you." Lily followed mom inside. Mom gave her a glass of milk and a cookie. She also gave her a small box. Lily opened it and gasped. Inside was a necklace with a charming pendant. It was a flower with a shiny stone in the middle. "Wow, mom! It's so pretty! Thank you!" "You're welcome, Lily. I made it for you. The stone is the same as the coin you saw in the drain. But this one is clean and safe. And the flower is like the ones we plant in the garden. Do you like it?" "I love it, mom! It's the best gift ever!" Lily hugged mom and put on the necklace. She smiled and felt happy. She forgot about the drain and the button. She had a charming flower and a shiny stone. And she had a mom who loved her. Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a shiny bicycle near the park. It was red and had a bell and a basket. Tom and Anna wanted to ride the bicycle, but they did not know who it belonged to. "Let's take it for a spin," Tom said. "No one is looking." "I don't know," Anna said. "That is not nice. What if the owner comes back?" "Don't be scared," Tom said. "We will be quick. Come on, hurry!" Tom and Anna got on the bicycle and started to pedal. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They rang the bell and laughed. They did not see the sign that said "Beware of the dog". Suddenly, a big dog came out of a house and started to bark and chase them. Tom and Anna were scared and tried to go faster, but the bicycle was too big for them. They lost their balance and fell on the grass. The dog ran towards them, wagging its tail. "Hey, that's my bicycle!" a voice shouted. Tom and Anna looked up and saw a boy running after them. He had a angry face and a baseball cap. He was the owner of the bicycle. "Sorry, sorry!" Tom and Anna said. They felt guilty and ashamed. They got up and gave the bicycle back to the boy. The boy took the bicycle and glared at them. "You should not take things that are not yours," he said. "That is bad. How would you like it if I took your toys?" Tom and Anna did not say anything. They knew he was right. They walked away, feeling sorry and sad. They learned their lesson and decided to never take things that are not theirs again. Tom and Anna are friends. They like to study the sky. They have a big book with pictures of stars and clouds and rainbows. Every morning, they wake up early and go to the hill near their house. They want to see the sunrise. One day, they see something very strange in the sky. It is not an ordinary sunrise. It is a big, bright, colorful ball. It looks like a giant balloon. Tom and Anna are very surprised and excited. "Wow! Look at that!" Tom says. "What is it?" "I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe it is a new star. Or a big flower. Or a magic ball." They open their book and try to find something like it. But they cannot. There is nothing like it in the book. They wonder what it is and where it came from. They watch the ball for a long time. It changes colors and shapes. Sometimes it is round, sometimes it is oval, sometimes it is square. Sometimes it is red, sometimes it is blue, sometimes it is green. It is very beautiful and funny. Tom and Anna laugh and clap their hands. They are very happy. They think it is a gift from the sky. They decide to name it Bob. They say hello to Bob and thank him for making their morning special. They hope to see him again. Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with their toys. They have a big box of cars, trucks, buses and planes. They pretend they can drive them to different places. One day, they decide to go to a new place. They choose a shiny blue plane from the box. They say, "Let's drive this plane to a new planet!" They put the plane on the floor and sit inside. They make noises like a plane. They say, "Zoom, zoom, zoom! We are flying in the sky!" They look out of the window and see stars and moons. They see a big ball of green and blue. They say, "Look, there is a planet! Let's land there and see what it is like!" They pretend to land the plane on the planet. They get out and walk around. They see flowers and trees and animals. They say, "Wow, this planet is so pretty and nice! It is perfect!" They play with the flowers and the animals. They have fun. They say, "We like this planet. We want to stay here forever!" But then they hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "Anna, Ben, it is time for lunch. Come inside, please." They say, "Oh, no! We have to go back to our home planet. We will miss this planet." They run back to the plane and say, "Bye, bye, perfect planet! We will come back soon!" They pretend to fly the plane back to the floor. They get out and put the plane back in the box. They say, "That was a fun adventure. We love to drive planes to new planets!" They go inside and have lunch with Mom. They tell her about their trip. She says, "That sounds amazing. You have a great imagination. Maybe one day you will really drive a plane to a new planet." Lily and Tom were playing with their board. It had many pictures and words on it. They liked to point at the pictures and say the words. "Look, this is a cat. It says meow," Lily said. "I know, I know. And this is a dog. It says woof," Tom said. They moved to another picture. It was a big animal with a long neck and spots. "What is this?" Lily asked. Tom did not know. He had never seen this animal before. He felt ignorant. He did not like to feel ignorant. He looked at the word under the picture. It was long and hard to say. "G-g-giraffe," he tried to say. Lily laughed. She thought Tom was funny. She did not know the word either, but she did not care. She pointed at another picture. It was a small animal with a shell and a tail. "What is this?" she questioned. Tom looked at the word. It was short and easy to say. "Snail," he said. Lily nodded. She liked snails. They were slow and cute. She smiled at Tom. She did not mind that he did not know some words. She liked to play with him. They continued to play with their board. They learned new words and had fun. They were not ignorant anymore. They were friends. Tom and Lily wanted to play with the big machine in the park. It was a slide that went very high and fast. But there was a problem. The big kids did not let them go on the machine. They said they were too small and pushed them away. "That is not fair!" Tom said. "We want to have fun too!" Lily nodded. She had an idea. "Let's plan a way to get on the machine. We can wait until the big kids are busy. Then we can sneak past them and climb up the ladder. They will not see us!" Tom liked the idea. He smiled. "That is a good plan. Let's do it!" They waited until the big kids were playing with a ball. Then they ran to the machine and climbed up the ladder. They reached the top and slid down the slide. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and shouted. They had so much fun! The big kids heard them and looked up. They saw Tom and Lily on the machine. They were angry. They ran to the ladder and tried to catch them. But Tom and Lily were too fast. They slid down again and ran away. They gave each other a high five. "We did it!" Tom said. "We got on the machine!" Lily agreed. "We did! That was a great plan!" They hugged and went to find another game. They were happy. They had played fair. Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is the phone. The phone is modern. It can ring and talk and show pictures. One day, Anna and Ben are playing with the phone. They press the buttons and make funny sounds. They pretend to call their friends and their grandma. They laugh and have fun. But then, they hear a loud knock on the door. It is their mom. She looks angry. She says, "What are you doing with my phone? You are in big trouble!" Anna and Ben are scared. They say, "Sorry, mom. We just wanted to play. We did not know it was your phone." Mom says, "This is not a toy. This is my work phone. You called many people and wasted a lot of money. You also deleted some important messages. How could you do that?" Anna and Ben feel bad. They say, "We are very sorry, mom. We did not mean to do that. We did not know how the phone works. We will not touch it again." Mom says, "You should have asked me first. You should not play with things that are not yours. You need to learn to be more careful and respectful. Now, go to your bed and think about what you did. No more phone for you." Anna and Ben go to their bed. They are sad and ashamed. They wish they had not played with the phone. They wish they had listened to their mom. They say, "We are sorry, phone. We are sorry, mom. We will be good next time." Tim was a gifted boy who loved to draw. He had many crayons and papers in his room. He liked to draw animals, cars, stars and anything he saw or dreamed of. He dreamed of being a famous artist one day. One morning, he woke up and saw a big mug on his table. It was a gift from his mom. She said, "Happy birthday, Tim! I made this mug for you. It has your drawings on it. Do you like it?" Tim was very happy. He hugged his mom and said, "Thank you, mom! I love it! It is the best mug ever!" He took the mug to the kitchen and filled it with milk. He drank it and felt warm and cozy. He thought, "This is a special mug. It has my dreams on it. Maybe it can make my dreams come true." He went to his room and put the mug on his shelf. He took his crayons and papers and started to draw. He drew a big castle with a dragon and a knight. He dreamed of living in the castle and fighting the dragon. He drew a rocket with an astronaut and a planet. He dreamed of flying to the space and exploring the planet. He drew a circus with a clown and a lion. He dreamed of making people laugh and taming the lion. He was so busy drawing that he did not hear his mom calling him for lunch. He did not notice that his mug was glowing and shaking. He did not see that his drawings were coming to life and jumping out of the papers. He did not know that his dreams were about to become real. Lily and Ben are playing with their cars on the floor. They make noises and pretend to drive fast. Lily has a red car and Ben has a blue car. "Look, my car is faster than yours!" Lily says. "No, mine is faster!" Ben says. They race their cars across the room. They have fun. But then, they hear a loud sound. It is the phone. It rings and rings. Lily and Ben pause. They look at each other. "Who is it?" Lily asks. "I don't know. Maybe it's Mommy or Daddy," Ben says. They run to the phone. They pick it up. "Hello?" Lily says. "Hi, Lily. Hi, Ben. It's Grandma," a voice says. Lily and Ben smile. They love Grandma. She lives in a distant place. They don't see her often. "Hi, Grandma!" they say. "How are you, my sweeties? I miss you so much," Grandma says. "We are good, Grandma. We miss you too," they say. "I have good news for you. I'm coming to visit you next week. I can't wait to hug you and play with you," Grandma says. Lily and Ben are very happy. They jump and clap. "Yay, Grandma is coming! Yay, yay, yay!" they say. They tell Grandma about their cars and their games. They ask her about her place and her pets. They talk for a long time. They can't wait to see Grandma next week. They love her very much. Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play together. One day, they see a big house made of candy. It has chocolate walls, gumdrop windows, and a cookie roof. They want to eat some of the candy. They run to the house and knock on the door. No one answers. They try to open the door, but it is locked. They struggle to push it, but it does not move. They look for another way in. They see a chimney on the roof. It is made of licorice. They think they can climb it. They grab the licorice and pull themselves up. It is hard work. They struggle to reach the top. They get to the roof and see a hole in the cookie. They peek inside. They smell something delicious. They see a big oven with a cake inside. They want to eat the cake. They jump into the hole and land on the floor. They run to the oven and open it. They see the cake. It is hot and sweet. They reach for it. But then they hear a voice. It is loud and angry. It says, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house? You are not welcome here. You are my dinner!" They turn around and see a witch. She has a big nose, a long hat, and a broom. She is holding a pot. She wants to cook them. They are scared. They run to the door and try to open it. It is still locked. They struggle to break it, but it is too strong. They look for another way out. They see a window. It is made of gumdrops. They think they can break it. They grab the gumdrops and pull them. They are sticky and hard. They struggle to make a hole, but it is too small. They hear the witch coming closer. She is laughing and saying, "You can't escape. You are trapped. You are mine!" They are very scared. They wish they never came to the house. They wish they were home. They cry for help. But then they hear another voice. It is kind and familiar. It says, "Lily! Tom! Where are you? I'm here to save you!" They look up and see their dad. He is holding a big axe. He has followed their trail of candy. He sees the house and the witch. He is angry. He swings the axe and hits the door. It breaks into pieces. He runs inside and sees the twins. He hugs them and says, "Don't worry. I'm here. You are safe." He sees the witch and says, "Leave my children alone. You are a bad witch. You are not nice." He swings the axe and hits the oven. It breaks into pieces. The cake falls out. He swings the axe and hits the window. It breaks into pieces. The gumdrops fall out. He says, "Come on. Let's go. We have to leave this house. It is not a good house. It is a trap." He takes the twins by the hand and runs out of the house. The witch screams and says, "No! Stop! Come back! You are my dinner!" But they don't listen. They run away from the house. They run back to their home. They are happy. They hug their dad and say, "Thank you. You are our hero. You saved us." He hugs them and says, "You're welcome. I love you. You are my children." He says, "Don't ever go to that house again. It is dangerous. It is not a place for you." They say, "We won't. We promise. We learned our lesson." He says, "Good. Now let's have some real cake. I made it for you. It is delicious." They say, "Yay! We love cake. We love you." They eat the cake and smile. They are happy. They are safe. They are home. Anna and Ben were playing hide and seek in the big house. Anna was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Anna counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She began to search for Ben in every room. She looked under the bed, behind the curtains, in the closet, but she could not find him. She went to the kitchen and saw a big cake on the table. It smelled sweet and yummy. She wanted to taste it, but she remembered that Mom said no. She heard a giggle from behind the furniture. She ran to the sofa and lifted the cushion. There was Ben, hiding with a big smile. "I found you!" Anna said. "You are a good hider, Ben." "Thank you, Anna. You are a good seeker. But I have a secret. Do you want to know?" Ben said. "Yes, tell me!" Anna said. Ben whispered in her ear. "I tasted the cake when you were counting. It was bitter and yucky. Mom put something bad in it. Don't eat it, Anna." Anna made a face. "Ew, why did you taste it, Ben? That was naughty. Mom will be angry." "I was curious. And hungry. And it looked good. But it was not. I'm sorry, Anna." Ben said. Anna hugged him. "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But we have to tell Mom the truth. Maybe she can make a new cake. A sweet and yummy one." They got up and went to find Mom. They hoped she would not be too mad. They also hoped she would make a new cake. A sweet and yummy one. The end. Lily liked to read books. She had many books in her bookcase. She liked to look at the pictures and the words. Sometimes she read to her teddy bear. She called him Bobo. One day, Lily wanted to read a new book. She saw a big book on the top shelf of her bookcase. She wanted to see what it was. She climbed on a chair and reached for the book. But the book was too heavy. It fell down and made a loud noise. The bookcase shook and some other books fell down too. Lily was scared. She cried. She heard her mom come in. "Lily, what happened?" her mom asked. She saw the books on the floor and the chair by the bookcase. She was not happy. "Lily, you should not climb on the chair. You could get hurt. And you should not touch the big book. It is not for you. It is for grown-ups. You have to stop doing that." Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to read a new book. I like books. But I don't like the big book. It is too heavy and loud." Her mom hugged her. She said, "I know you like books, Lily. But you have to be careful. And you have to ask me before you take a book from the bookcase. I can help you find a book that is right for you. Come on, let's pick up the books and put them back. Then we can read a book together. How about that?" Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you." She helped her mom clean up the mess. Then they sat on the couch and read a book. Lily felt calm. She liked to read with her mom. And she liked Bobo too. He was still on the chair. He looked calm too. He liked books too. Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Lily was very careful with her blocks. She put them on top of each other gently and made sure they were balanced. Ben was very careless with his blocks. He threw them around and knocked down Lily's towers. "Stop it, Ben!" Lily said. "You are ruining my blocks!" "I don't care!" Ben said. "It's fun to make them fall!" Lily was very angry. She picked up a block and slapped Ben on the face. Ben cried out loud. He dropped his blocks and ran to his mom. "Mommy, mommy, Lily hit me!" Ben said. Mommy came to see what happened. She saw the blocks on the floor and Lily's red hand. She was not happy. "Lily, why did you hit Ben?" Mommy asked. "Because he was careless with my blocks!" Lily said. "That's not a good reason, Lily. Hitting is not nice. It hurts people and makes them sad. You should use your words, not your hands. Say sorry to Ben." Mommy said. Lily felt sorry. She knew Mommy was right. She went to Ben and said sorry. "I'm sorry, Ben. I shouldn't have hit you. Can we play nicely with the blocks?" Lily said. Ben nodded. He was still sad, but he forgave Lily. "I'm sorry, too, Lily. I shouldn't have been careless with your blocks. Can we share them and build something together?" Ben said. Lily smiled. She hugged Ben and gave him a block. "Yes, let's do that. We can be friends and have fun." Lily said. Mommy was proud of Lily and Ben. She helped them clean up the blocks and gave them a snack. She told them a story about how to be kind and respectful to each other. Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They never hit or were careless again. They played happily with their blocks and other toys. Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big puddle of mud near the fence. They ran to the puddle and jumped in. They laughed and splashed and made mud pies. "Look, I found a worm!" Lily said, holding up a slimy thing. "Yuck, put it down!" Tom said, making a face. "No, it's my friend. I will name him Wiggly." Lily said, putting the worm on her head. They played with the mud and the worm for a long time, until they heard their mom calling them. "Lily, Tom, time to come in!" Mom said. They got out of the puddle and ran to the house. They were covered in mud from head to toe. They smelled very bad. Mom saw them and gasped. She was very angry. "What have you done? You are so dirty and smelly! You have to take a bath right now!" Mom said. "But we were having fun!" Lily said. "And we discovered a worm!" Tom said. "I don't care! You have to wash off the mud and the worm! And no more playing in the puddle! It's dirty and dangerous!" Mom said. She took them to the bathroom and scrubbed them with soap and water. They cried and whined. They did not like the bath. They wanted to play with the mud and the worm. The worm fell off Lily's head and went down the drain. Lily was very sad. She lost her friend. The moral of the story is: Don't play in the mud, or you will get dirty and smelly, and lose your worm. Sam and Lily were playing with bricks in the yard. They liked to build towers and houses with the bricks. They had red bricks, yellow bricks, and brown bricks. "Look at my tower!" Sam said. "It is very tall and strong." "I like your tower, Sam," Lily said. "But I like my house more. It has a door and a window and a roof." They played for a long time, until they heard their mom calling them. "Sam! Lily! Time to quit playing and come inside for lunch!" Mom said. "Okay, Mom!" Sam and Lily said. They started to pick up their bricks and put them in a box. But then, Sam saw a brown brick that Lily had used for her roof. He wanted it for his tower. "Hey, Lily, can I have this brick?" Sam asked. "No, Sam, that is my brick. It is part of my house. You have enough bricks for your tower," Lily said. "But I need this brick. It is the perfect brick for my tower. Please, Lily, give it to me," Sam said. He tried to grab the brick from Lily, but she held on tight. They pulled and tugged on the brick, until it slipped from their hands and fell on the ground. It broke into two pieces. "Oh no!" Sam and Lily said. They looked at the broken brick and felt sad. They heard their mom coming to the yard. "What happened here?" Mom asked. She saw the broken brick and the mess. "Sam and Lily, why did you break this brick? You know you have to be careful with your toys. And you have to share and be nice to each other," Mom said. "Sorry, Mom," Sam and Lily said. They felt sorry for breaking the brick and for fighting. Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay. I know you didn't mean to break the brick. But next time, remember to quit playing when I call you, and to respect each other's things. Now, let's go inside and have some lunch. Maybe we can find another brick for your house and your tower later." Sam and Lily nodded and smiled. They followed Mom inside, holding hands. They decided to be better friends and to play with their bricks nicely. Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the yard with their toys. One day, Lily got a new toy. It was a big doll with a pink dress and long hair. Lily was very happy with her new toy. Tom saw Lily's new toy and he felt envious. He wanted a big doll too. He asked Lily if he could play with her doll, but Lily said no. She said it was her doll and she did not want to share. Tom was angry and sad. He thought Lily was not a good friend. Tom decided to take Lily's doll when she was not looking. He waited until Lily went inside the house to get some water. Then he ran to the yard and grabbed the doll. He ran away with the doll to his house. He thought he was very clever. But Lily saw Tom take her doll. She ran after him and shouted, "Tom, give me back my doll! That is not yours, that is mine!" She was very mad and sad. She thought Tom was not a good friend. Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran inside his house and locked the door. He thought he was safe with the doll. But he was wrong. The doll was not a normal doll. It was a magic doll. And it did not like to be stolen. The doll started to move and talk. It said, "Tom, you are a bad boy. You took me from Lily. You made her cry. You are not my friend. You are my enemy. And I will make you pay." The doll opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. It bit Tom on the arm and made him scream. The doll did not stop. It bit him again and again. Tom was very scared and hurt. He wished he never took the doll. He wished he was a good friend to Lily. But it was too late. The doll did not stop. The end. Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. "Come on, Lily, let's go!" Tom said. "OK, Tom, but be careful. It looks high and steep." Lily said. They held hands and started to climb the hill. They saw many flowers, birds and bugs. They heard a loud snore. They stopped and looked around. They saw a giant lying on the ground. He was very big and hairy. He had a long nose, big ears and a huge mouth. He was sleeping and did not see them. "Wow, look at that, Lily! It's a giant!" Tom whispered. "Shh, Tom, don't wake him up. He might be angry or hungry. Let's go back." Lily whispered. "But I want to see him closer. Maybe he is friendly. Maybe he has a treasure." Tom whispered. "No, Tom, it's too dangerous. We don't know him. We have to stay away from him. Come on, let's go." Lily whispered. She pulled Tom's hand and tried to make him go back. But Tom was curious and stubborn. He let go of Lily's hand and walked towards the giant. He wanted to touch his nose. "Tom, no, don't do that! Come back!" Lily shouted. The giant heard Lily's shout. He opened his eyes and saw Tom. He was not happy. He was not friendly. He was angry. He roared and reached for Tom. "Help, Lily, help!" Tom screamed. Lily ran to Tom and grabbed his hand. She pulled him away from the giant. They ran down the hill as fast as they could. The giant chased them. He was not sleepy anymore. He was hungry. "Run, Lily, run!" Tom cried. They ran and ran until they reached the park. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They hugged them and told them what happened. Their mom and dad were shocked and scared. They told them to never go near the hill again. They told them to always stay with them and listen to them. They told them they were lucky to escape from the giant. Lily and Tom nodded and said sorry. They learned their lesson. They never went near the hill again. They never saw the giant again. They stayed with their mom and dad and played in the park. They were safe and happy. Tommy and Anna were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. Sometimes they crashed into each other and laughed. "Watch out, Tommy!" Anna said. "I'm going to use my turbo boost and catch you!" She pushed her car harder and zoomed towards Tommy. But she did not see the big rock on the grass. Her car hit the rock and flew into the air. It landed on Tommy's head and made him cry. "Ow, ow, ow!" Tommy shouted. "That hurt, Anna! You hurt me!" Anna felt sorry and scared. She ran to Tommy and hugged him. She saw a bump on his head and some blood. "I'm sorry, Tommy, I'm sorry!" she said. "I didn't mean to hurt you. It was an accident. Are you okay?" Tommy stopped crying and looked at Anna. He saw that she was sad and sorry. He felt a little better. "It's okay, Anna," he said. "It was an accident. But it still hurts. Maybe we should go to the hospital." Anna nodded. She took Tommy's hand and they walked to the bench where their mom was sitting. She told her what happened and showed her Tommy's head. Mom looked worried and took out her phone. She called the hospital and asked for help. She told Tommy and Anna that they would go to the hospital and see a doctor. She said the doctor would make Tommy feel better and give him a band-aid. "Don't be afraid, Tommy," she said. "The hospital is a good place. The doctor is nice and harmless. He will not hurt you. He will help you." Tommy and Anna nodded. They trusted their mom and the doctor. They got into the car and went to the hospital. They hoped that Tommy's head would heal soon and that they could play again. But they decided to be more careful and avoid the big rocks. Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to build forts with cushions and blankets. They had a lot of fun pretending to be knights and princesses. But Tom wanted to have the biggest fort. He took all the cushions from the sofa and piled them up. He did not mind that Lily had no cushions left. He said, "This is my fort. You can't come in. It is huge and strong." Lily felt sad and angry. She had no cushions to play with. She said, "That is not fair. You are being mean. Share the cushions with me. We can play together." But Tom did not listen. He said, "No. Go away. I don't want to play with you. You are too small and weak." Lily was hurt by Tom's words. She ran to her room and cried. She did not want to be friends with Tom anymore. Soon, Tom got bored of his huge fort. He wanted to play with Lily. He missed her. He went to her room and knocked on the door. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Can we play together? I will share the cushions with you. Please forgive me." Lily opened the door and saw Tom's face. He looked sorry and sad. She felt sorry for him too. She said, "Okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to be nice and kind. Sharing is caring. Let's play together." Tom and Lily hugged and smiled. They went back to the living room and made a new fort with the cushions. They had more fun playing together than playing alone. The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Being mean and selfish makes you lose friends. Being nice and kind makes you happy and loved. Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big bird on a tree. The bird has no hair on its head. It is bald. "Look, Lily, a bald bird!" Ben says. "What is a bald bird?" Lily asks. "A bald bird is a bird with no hair. Like grandpa. He has no hair on his head. He is bald too," Ben explains. "Why does the bird have no hair?" Lily wonders. "I don't know. Maybe it is old. Or sick. Or it lost its hair in a fight," Ben guesses. They watch the bird for a while. The bird is quiet. It does not sing. It does not fly. It just sits on the tree. Ben has an idea. He picks up a feather from the ground. It is soft and fluffy. He runs to the tree. He tries to give the feather to the bird. "Here, bird, take this feather. You can put it on your head. Then you will not be bald anymore," Ben says. The bird looks at Ben. It does not want the feather. It pecks at Ben's hand. Ben drops the feather. He cries out. "Ow, ow, ow! The bird bit me! The bird is mean!" Ben shouts. Lily runs to Ben. She hugs him. She tries to make him feel better. "It's okay, Ben. The bird is not mean. The bird is scared. It does not like strangers. It does not need your feather. It is happy the way it is. Bald birds are beautiful too," Lily says. Ben stops crying. He looks at Lily. He smiles. "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You are right. Bald birds are beautiful too. And so is grandpa," Ben says. They leave the bird alone. They go back to playing. They have fun. They are happy. Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play in the garden. But today they are restless. They want to do something new. "Look, Sue," Tom says. "There are some red flowers over there. Let's pick them and make a necklace." Sue nods. She likes red flowers. They run to the flower bed and start to pick the flowers. They do not see the sign that says "Do not pick the flowers. They belong to Mrs. Lee." Mrs. Lee is the neighbor. She loves her flowers. She works hard to grow them. She is angry when she sees Tom and Sue picking her flowers. "Hey, you two!" she shouts. "What are you doing? Stop picking my flowers. You are in big trouble!" Tom and Sue are scared. They drop the flowers and run back to their garden. They hide behind the fence. They hope Mrs. Lee will not tell their mom. "Sorry, Mrs. Lee," they say in a small voice. "We did not know they were your flowers. We just wanted to make a necklace." Mrs. Lee sighs. She is still angry, but she remembers that Tom and Sue are only three years old. They do not know better. "Next time, ask before you pick anything," she says. "And do not pick flowers that are not yours. They are alive and they need water and sun. Now go and play with your own toys." Tom and Sue say sorry again. They promise to be good. They go and play with their ball. They are not restless anymore. They have learned a lesson. Mia and Ben were playing in the bathroom. They liked to pretend they were pirates and mermaids. Mia had a big bottle of shampoo that she used as a treasure. Ben had a towel that he used as a sail. "Ahoy, matey! I see your treasure!" Ben shouted, holding his towel like a sword. He ran towards Mia and tried to grab the shampoo. "No, no, no! It's mine!" Mia said, holding the shampoo tightly. She pulled it away from Ben and ran to the other side of the bathroom. Ben chased after her and caught her by the arm. They both tugged on the shampoo, trying to get it for themselves. "Let go, let go, let go!" Mia yelled. "Give it, give it, give it!" Ben yelled. But they pulled too hard and the shampoo bottle tore open. Shampoo squirted out everywhere, making bubbles and foam. It got on their hair, their faces, their clothes, and the floor. They stopped pulling and looked at each other. They were covered in shampoo. They looked at the bottle. It was empty. They looked at the mess. It was big. They were confused. They didn't know what to do. They didn't know if they should laugh or cry. They heard a knock on the door. It was Mom. "Kids, what's going on in there?" Mom asked. Mia and Ben looked at each other again. They said nothing. They hoped Mom wouldn't be mad. Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big bottle on the table. It was red and shiny. Lily wanted to see what was inside. She climbed on a chair and opened the bottle. She smelled it. It was disgusting. It reminded her of the medicine she had to take when she was sick. "Yuck!" she said. "This is not juice. This is yucky stuff." Ben was curious. He wanted to try it too. He took the bottle from Lily and drank some. He made a funny face and spat it out. It was sour and bitter. It burned his mouth and throat. "Ow!" he said. "This is not water. This is ouchy stuff." They heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She came into the kitchen and saw them with the bottle. She was angry and scared. She recognized the bottle. It was her wine. She liked to drink it sometimes when she was sad or tired. She did not want her kids to drink it. It was bad for them. It could make them sick or hurt them. "What are you doing?" she shouted. "This is not for you. This is for me. Give it to me right now!" She grabbed the bottle from Ben and put it away. She checked Lily and Ben. They were coughing and crying. She felt sorry for them. But she was also mad at them. They did not listen to her. They did not obey her rules. They made a mess and a trouble. She took them to the bathroom and made them rinse their mouths. She gave them some water and some honey. She told them they were naughty and foolish. She told them they had to go to their rooms and think about what they did. She told them they could not play anymore today. She told them she was very disappointed in them. Lily and Ben felt bad. They did not mean to do something wrong. They were just curious and bored. They did not know what wine was. They did not like it. They wished they never saw it. They wished they never opened it. They wished they never drank it. They wished their mom was not angry and sad. They wished they could say sorry and hug her. They wished they could play again. But they could not. They had to go to their rooms. They had to sit on their beds. They had to be quiet and alone. They had to wait for a long time. They had to learn their lesson. They had a bad day. They had a bad ending. Lily and Ben were playing with crayons and paper. They liked to draw many things, like flowers, cars, and animals. Lily was drawing a big sun with yellow and orange crayons. Ben was drawing a house with blue and green crayons. "Look at my sun, Ben!" Lily said. "It is very bright and happy!" "Look at my house, Lily!" Ben said. "It has a door and a window and a roof!" They showed each other their drawings and smiled. They were proud of their work. But then, Lily saw something on the wall. It was a mark. A big, red mark. It looked like a crayon mark. Lily gasped. "Ben, did you do that?" Lily asked. She pointed at the mark. Ben looked at the wall. He saw the mark. He felt scared. He knew he was not supposed to draw on the wall. He knew Mommy would be angry. "No, I didn't do that!" Ben said. He lied. He did do that. He did it when Lily was not looking. He wanted to see how high he could reach with his crayon. "Yes, you did!" Lily said. She knew Ben was lying. She saw him do it. She was going to tell Mommy. "No, I didn't!" Ben said. He shouted. He was mad. He did not want Lily to tell Mommy. They started to argue. They raised their voices. They did not listen to each other. Mommy heard them. She came to the room. She saw them fighting. She saw the mark on the wall. She sighed. "What is going on here?" Mommy asked. She looked at Lily and Ben. She looked at the mark. Lily and Ben stopped arguing. They looked at Mommy. They looked at the mark. They felt sorry. They did not say anything. They knew they did something wrong. Mommy sighed again. She was not happy. She was disappointed. She took the crayons and the paper away. She gave them a cloth and a bucket of water. She told them to clean the mark. Lily and Ben nodded. They took the cloth and the bucket. They went to the wall. They tried to wipe the mark. It was hard. The mark was high. The mark was red. The mark did not go away. They wished they did not draw on the wall. They wished they did not lie. They wished they did not fight. They learned a lesson. They said sorry to Mommy. They said sorry to each other. They hugged. They promised to be good. They promised to be careful. Mommy smiled. She was glad. She forgave them. She gave them a kiss. She gave them a hug. She gave them back their crayons and paper. She told them to draw on the paper. She told them to share their crayons. She told them to have fun. They thanked Mommy. They smiled. They were happy. They drew on the paper. They shared their crayons. They had fun. Sara and Ben were twins who liked to explore the woods behind their house. One day, they found a new trail that looked fun and exciting. They decided to follow it and see where it led. "Maybe we will find a fairy or a dragon," Sara said, holding Ben's hand. "Or maybe a bear or a wolf," Ben said, trying to sound brave. He was a little scared of the dark and the noises in the woods. They walked and walked until they came to a big hill. They climbed up the hill and saw a beautiful lake with a small island in the middle. On the island, there was a big tree with a bright red door. "Wow, look at that!" Sara exclaimed. "Do you think someone lives there?" "Let's go and see," Ben said, feeling curious. They found a boat by the shore and rowed across the lake. They knocked on the door and waited. No one answered. They tried to open the door, but it was locked. "Hello, is anyone home?" Sara called out. Suddenly, they heard a loud roar from behind the tree. They turned around and saw a huge lion with a golden mane and a friendly smile. "Hello, little ones," the lion said. "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I'm Leo, the king of the island. Who are you?" Sara and Ben were very surprised, but they also felt happy. They had found a talking lion! "We are Sara and Ben, and we live in the woods," Sara said. "We followed a trail and found your island. It's very pretty." "Thank you, Sara and Ben. You are very brave and kind to visit me. I'm lonely here, because I have no friends. Would you like to be my friends?" Leo asked. Sara and Ben nodded eagerly. They liked Leo and wanted to play with him. "Yes, please, we would love to be your friends," Ben said. Leo smiled and invited them inside his tree house. He showed them his toys and books and gave them some honey and berries. They had a lot of fun together and told each other stories. Sara and Ben hoped they could come back and see Leo again. They had found a new friend and a new adventure. Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and read books. But sometimes they quarrel. They quarrel about who gets the red car, who gets the big doll, who gets the last cookie. One day, they both got sick. They had a fever and a cough. Mom took them to the doctor. The doctor said they had to take a pill every day to get better. Tom and Mia did not like pills. They were scared of pills. They said pills were yucky and bitter. Mom tried to make them take the pills. She said pills would help them feel good. She said pills were not so bad. She said she would give them a hug and a kiss after the pills. But Tom and Mia still did not want the pills. They cried and hid and ran away. Mom was sad and tired. She did not know what to do. She asked Dad for help. Dad had an idea. He said he would make a game with the pills. He said he would pretend the pills were candy. He said he would give them a prize if they took the pills. Tom and Mia liked games. They liked candy. They liked prizes. They decided to try the game. Dad gave them each a pill and a glass of water. He said, "Ready, set, go!" He said, "Who can swallow the pill the fastest?" He said, "Who can make the funniest face after the pill?" Tom and Mia took the pills. They swallowed them quickly. They made funny faces. They laughed. They did not think the pills were so yucky and bitter. They thought the pills were fun. Dad gave them each a sticker and a high five. He said, "Good job! You did it!" Mom was happy and proud. She gave them each a hug and a kiss. She said, "I love you! You are brave!" Tom and Mia smiled. They said, "We love you too! We are sorry we quarreled!" They said, "Can we play the pill game again tomorrow?" Mom and Dad laughed. They said, "Yes, you can!" Lily was a loyal caterpillar. She always helped her friends and family when they needed her. She liked to eat leaves and make silk for her cocoon. One day, she saw a beautiful butterfly flying in the sky. She wanted to be like the butterfly and have wings and colors. She asked her friend Max, who was also a caterpillar, how to become a butterfly. Max said, "You have to make a cocoon and sleep inside for a long time. Then you will change and come out as a butterfly." Lily said, "But I don't want to sleep for a long time. I want to play and have fun with you and the others." Max said, "But you have to sleep if you want to be a butterfly. It is the only way. Trust me, it will be worth it." Lily thought about it and decided to try. She made a cocoon and said goodbye to Max and her friends. She crawled inside and fell asleep. She slept for many days and nights. She dreamed of flying and seeing new things. She felt something changing inside her. One morning, she woke up and felt a tickle on her back. She pushed against the cocoon and saw a crack. She pushed harder and broke the cocoon. She came out and saw her wings. They were big and colorful. She was a butterfly! She was so happy and excited. She flapped her wings and flew in the air. She saw the sun and the flowers and the trees. She felt free and joyful. She remembered Max and her friends. She wanted to show them her wings and thank them for their support. She flew back to the place where she made her cocoon. She saw Max and the others waiting for her. They were amazed and happy to see her. Max said, "Lily, you did it! You are a butterfly! You are so beautiful and brave!" Lily said, "Thank you, Max! You are a good friend! You helped me to succeed. I could not have done it without you and the others. I love you all!" They hugged and cheered. They played and flew together. Lily was a loyal butterfly. She always remembered her friends and family who helped her to achieve her dream. The moral of the story is: If you have a dream, you can succeed with the help of your loyal friends and family. Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big bunch of grapes on a bench. They were blue and shiny and looked very yummy. "Let's share them!" Lily said. She took one grape and gave one to Tom. They both bit into the juicy fruit and smiled. But then, a big dog came running towards them. It was black and furry and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and jumped on the bench. It wanted the grapes too! "Go away, dog!" Tom shouted. He tried to hold on to the grapes, but the dog was stronger. It pulled the bunch away from Tom and ran off with it. "Hey, that's not fair!" Lily cried. She ran after the dog, hoping to get the grapes back. Tom followed her, feeling scared and angry. They chased the dog across the park, but it was too fast for them. It ran to a pond and jumped in. It was happy to have the grapes, but it did not know that grapes were bad for dogs. The dog started to feel sick. It felt a pain in its tummy and wanted to spit out the grapes. It tried to release them, but they were stuck in its mouth. It whined and splashed in the water, looking for help. Tom and Lily saw the dog in trouble. They felt sorry for it, even though it had taken their grapes. They ran to the pond and called for a grown-up. A man came and saw the dog. He knew what to do. He reached into the dog's mouth and took out the grapes. He threw them away and patted the dog's head. The dog felt better. It wagged its tail and licked the man's face. It looked at Tom and Lily and barked softly. It was sorry for what it had done. Tom and Lily smiled. They forgave the dog and petted it. They did not mind losing the grapes. They were happy to make a new friend. Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They found a big hole in the ground. Lily wanted to see what was inside. "Let's poke it with a stick!" she said. Ben nodded and picked up a long stick. He walked to the hole and poked it hard. Something moved in the hole. It was a rag. A dirty, old rag. "Look, a rag!" Ben said. "Maybe it has treasure inside!" He pulled the rag out of the hole. It was heavy and wet. He opened it and saw something shiny. It was a coin. A big, gold coin. "Wow, a coin!" Lily said. "We are rich!" They smiled and hugged each other. They had found a deep hole with a rag and a coin. They were happy. Tom and Sue like to play in the kitchen. They pretend to cook and eat yummy food. But they have to be careful of the big freezer. Mom says it is very cold and has ice inside. One day, Tom and Sue find a dirty spoon on the floor. They wonder what it is for. They decide to use it to dig in the freezer. They open the door and see white and blue blocks. They think they are candy. "Look, Sue, candy!" Tom says. He picks up a block and puts it in his mouth. He makes a face. "Yuck, this is not candy. This is bad." Sue laughs. She picks up another block and throws it at Tom. Tom ducks and throws one back. They start a snowball fight with the blocks. Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess and the open freezer. She is angry. She says, "Tom and Sue, what are you doing? You are wasting the ice. The ice is not for playing. The ice is for keeping the food cold. The food is valuable. You have to value the food. And you have to value the freezer. It is not a toy. And look at the dirty spoon. Where did you get that? You have to wash it. And you have to clean up the kitchen. Now!" Tom and Sue feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We did not know. We thought the ice was candy. We will not do it again. We will value the food and the freezer. And we will wash the spoon and clean up the kitchen." Mom hugs them and says, "Thank you, Tom and Sue. I love you. But next time, please ask me before you touch the freezer. And please use clean spoons. OK?" Tom and Sue nod and say, "OK, Mom. We love you too." They help Mom to put the ice back in the freezer and to wipe the floor. They learn their lesson. They value the freezer and the food. And they value Mom. Tom and Lily were playing with their toy car in the garden. They liked to make the car go fast and do tricks on the grass. But then, the car hit a big rock and broke. One of the car's legs came off and the car could not move anymore. "Oh no, our car is broken!" Lily cried. "We need to repair it!" Tom picked up the car and the leg. He tried to put the leg back on, but it did not work. He needed something to stick it with. He looked around and saw a bottle of glue on the table. "I have an idea!" Tom said. "We can use glue to repair the car!" He ran to the table and grabbed the glue. He opened the bottle and squeezed some glue on the car's leg. Then he pressed the leg to the car and held it for a while. "Is it fixed?" Lily asked. She was impatient. She wanted to play with the car again. "Not yet, we have to wait for the glue to dry," Tom said. "It will take some time." Lily sighed. She did not like to wait. She looked at the car and saw that the glue was still wet and shiny. "How long do we have to wait?" she asked. "I don't know, maybe ten minutes?" Tom guessed. "Ten minutes? That's too long!" Lily complained. "I want to play now!" She reached for the car and tried to pull it from Tom's hands. But Tom did not let go. He did not want Lily to ruin the repair. "Stop it, Lily! You have to be patient!" Tom said. "If you touch the car now, the leg will fall off again!" They started to tug and pull on the car. They did not notice that the glue was dripping from the leg and onto their fingers. They got glue all over their hands and the car. Suddenly, they heard their mom calling them from the house. "Tom! Lily! Time for lunch!" she said. They stopped fighting and looked at their hands. They saw that they were sticky and messy. "Uh-oh, we have glue on us!" Tom said. "And on the car too!" Lily said. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They had been silly and mean. They had not repaired the car, they had made it worse. "Sorry, Tom," Lily said. "I should have waited." "Sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I should have shared." They hugged and said they were friends. Then they took the car and their hands and ran to the house. They hoped their mom could help them clean the glue and fix the car. They learned that repairing things was not easy and that they had to be patient and kind. Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They see a big slide and run to it. Tom goes first and slides down fast. Mia follows him and laughs. "Let's climb the slide!" Tom says. He runs to the other side and starts to climb the ladder. "No, Tom, that's not how you play!" Mia says. She runs after him and tries to stop him. But Tom is too fast. He reaches the top of the slide and looks down. He sees something funny on the slide. It is an octopus! "Wow, look, Mia, an octopus!" Tom shouts. He points at the slide. Mia climbs up the ladder and sees the octopus too. It is purple and has eight legs. It is holding on to the slide with its legs. "Hello, octopus!" Mia says. She waves at the octopus. The octopus waves back with one leg. It smiles and makes a funny noise. "Where did you come from, octopus?" Tom asks. He is curious. "I came from the sea," the octopus says. "I wanted to see the park. Do you want to play with me?" "Yes, we do!" Tom and Mia say. They are happy. The octopus slides down the slide and lands on the ground. It waits for Tom and Mia to join it. Tom and Mia slide down the slide too. They land next to the octopus. They hug the octopus with their arms. The octopus hugs them back with its legs. They are friends. They play together in the park. They have fun. The octopus is soft and tight. Tom and Mia like the octopus. The octopus likes Tom and Mia. They are happy. Tom and Jen like to play with balloons. They blow air into them and tie them up. Then they throw them in the air and catch them. They have fun with the balloons. One day, they find a big balloon in the garage. It is red and shiny. They want to play with it. They try to blow air into it, but it is hard. They pull on the end, but it does not open. They wonder what is inside. They see a sticker on the balloon. It has a picture of a flame and a word. They do not know the word. It says "gas". They think it means air. They want to make the balloon bigger. They find a needle in the garage. They poke the balloon with the needle. They hear a loud hiss. The balloon becomes smaller and smaller. The air comes out very fast. It makes a fire. The fire is hot and bright. It scares Tom and Jen. They run away from the fire. They are fearful. They cry for help. They hope the fire does not hurt them or the garage. They wish they did not play with the balloon. They learn a new word. They learn that gas is not air. They learn that gas can make fire. They learn to be careful. Tom and Lily wanted to play outside, but it was raining hard. They looked out the window and saw big puddles on the street. They had an idea. "Let's have a race!" Tom said. "We can run to the big tree and back. The one who is faster wins!" "Okay!" Lily said. "But we need boots and coats. We don't want to get sick." They put on their boots and coats and ran outside. They splashed in the puddles and laughed. They felt the rain on their faces and hair. They were happy. They reached the big tree and turned around. They ran as fast as they could. They wanted to win the race. But then they saw a big dog. It was barking and running towards them. It looked angry and wet. Tom and Lily were scared. They stopped running and hugged each other. "Help!" Tom shouted. "Go away, dog!" "Mommy! Daddy!" Lily cried. "We are here!" They heard their parents' voices. They came out of the house and saw the dog. They ran to Tom and Lily and picked them up. They were not happy. "What are you doing outside in the rain?" Mommy asked. "You are soaked!" "We wanted to have a race," Tom said. "But the dog chased us." "It's okay, sweeties," Daddy said. "The dog is not bad. He just wanted to play. He belongs to our neighbor. He escaped from his yard. He is sorry." The dog wagged his tail and licked Tom and Lily's faces. He was not angry anymore. He was friendly. Tom and Lily smiled. They were not scared anymore. They petted the dog and said sorry too. They went inside the house and changed their clothes. They drank hot chocolate and ate cookies. They told their parents about their race and their adventure. They learned a lesson. They should not play outside in the rain. They should ask their parents first. They should be careful of strange dogs. But they also had fun. They liked the rain and the puddles. They liked the dog and the neighbor. They liked the race and the adventure. They were happy. Lily was playing with her dolls in the living room. She liked to make them talk and dress them up. She had a big box of clothes and accessories for them. She was having fun, but she also felt a little tired. She heard her mom call her from upstairs. "Lily, it's time for your nap. Come upstairs, please." Lily did not want to stop playing. She wanted to finish her tea party with her dolls. She said, "No, mom. I'm not sleepy. I want to play." Her mom came downstairs and smiled at her. "I know you like to play, but you also need to rest. You can play more later, after your nap. Come on, let's go upstairs. I have a surprise for you." Lily was curious. She liked surprises. She put her dolls in the box and followed her mom upstairs. Her mom took her to her bedroom. There, on her bed, was a new pillow. It was pink and fluffy and had a picture of a unicorn on it. "Wow, mom! A unicorn pillow! Thank you!" Lily exclaimed. She hugged the pillow and felt how soft and comfortable it was. "You're welcome, sweetie. I thought you would like it. It's a special pillow that helps you have sweet dreams. Do you want to try it?" her mom asked. Lily nodded. She climbed on her bed and lay down on the pillow. Her mom tucked her in and kissed her forehead. "Sleep well, my love. I'll be right here if you need me." Lily closed her eyes and snuggled with her pillow. She felt warm and cozy and happy. She thought about her dolls and her tea party and her unicorn. She drifted off to sleep and had sweet dreams. Sam and Lily liked to play drums. They had two big cans and two sticks. They made loud noises with them. They liked the rhythm of their drums. It made them happy. One day, a wild dog came to their yard. It was big and angry. It barked and growled at them. It wanted to bite them. Sam and Lily were scared. They ran to their house. But the dog followed them. "Help! Help!" they cried. "There is a wild dog!" Their mom heard them. She came out with a broom. She saw the dog. She waved the broom at the dog. She shouted at the dog. "Go away! Go away! You are not welcome here!" The dog was afraid of the mom. It ran away. It did not come back. Sam and Lily hugged their mom. They thanked her. "You are brave, mom. You protected us from the wild dog." Their mom smiled. She hugged them back. "You are welcome, my loves. I will always protect you. But you also have to be careful. Do not play near the street. Do not talk to strangers. Do not go near wild animals. They can hurt you." Sam and Lily nodded. They understood. They learned a lesson. They promised to be careful. They went back to their drums. They played with joy. They loved their mom. They loved their rhythm. Anna and Ben are friends. They live next to each other. They both have backyards. Anna's backyard is open. Ben's backyard has a fence. One day, Anna and Ben want to play together. They go to Anna's backyard. They see a big ball. It is red and blue and yellow. It is very pretty. "Wow, look at that ball!" Ben says. "Can we play with it?" "I don't know," Anna says. "It is not my ball. I don't own it. Maybe it belongs to someone else." "Maybe it came from the sky," Ben says. "Maybe it is a gift for us." "Or maybe it came from the other side of the fence," Anna says. "Maybe it is someone else's ball. Maybe they want it back." They look at the ball. They look at each other. They don't know what to do. Then they hear a voice. It is a girl. She is on the other side of the fence. She is looking for her ball. "Hey, have you seen my ball?" she asks. "It is red and blue and yellow. It is very pretty. I lost it when I threw it too high." Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry for the girl. They pick up the ball. They walk to the fence. They give the ball to the girl. "Here is your ball," Anna says. "We found it in our backyard. We are sorry we took it. We didn't know it was yours." "Thank you very much," the girl says. "You are very kind. What are your names?" "I am Anna. This is Ben. We are friends. We live next to each other. We both have backyards. Mine is open. His has a fence." "I am Lily. I live across the street. I have a backyard too. It is also open. Do you want to play with me and my ball?" Anna and Ben smile. They nod. They climb over the fence. They join Lily in her backyard. They play with the ball. They have fun. They make a new friend. Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big skull in the park. It is white and hard and has many teeth. "Wow, look at this skull!" Tom says. "It is cool. I want to play with it." "No, I want to play with it!" Sam says. "It is mine. I saw it first." They both grab the skull and pull. They fight for the skull. They are angry and loud. "Stop, stop!" a voice says. It is Mom. She comes to the park and sees Tom and Sam. She is not happy. "What are you doing, boys?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting for this skull? It is not a toy. It is dirty and old and maybe dangerous. You should not touch it." Tom and Sam feel bad. They let go of the skull. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. "Can we play with something else?" Tom asks. "Sure, let's go to the swings," Sam says. They run to the swings and forget about the skull. They are friends again. They have fun. Mom smiles. She picks up the skull and puts it in a blue bag. She will take it to the museum. Maybe someone there will know where it came from and what it was. Lily and Tom were twins who lived on a farm with their mom and dad. They liked to help with the animals and the crops, but sometimes they got bored. One day, they decided to play a game of hide and seek in the barn. "Tom, you count to ten and I'll hide," Lily said. "No peeking!" "Okay, okay," Tom said. He closed his eyes and started to count. "One, two, three..." Lily ran to the back of the barn, where she saw a big pile of hay. She thought it would be a good hiding spot, so she climbed on top of it. She did not see the sign that said "Danger: Do not touch". "Nine, ten, ready or not, here I come!" Tom shouted. He opened his eyes and looked around. He saw the chickens, the cows, the pigs, but no Lily. He wondered where she was. He walked to the back of the barn, where he heard a loud sneeze. He followed the sound and saw Lily's head poking out of the hay. She had hay all over her hair and face, and she looked very unhappy. "Found you!" Tom said. "Why are you hiding in the hay? Don't you know it's dangerous?" Lily sniffed. "No, I didn't. It made me itch and sneeze. I want to get out of here." Tom felt sorry for his sister. He was a reliable brother, and he always helped her when she was in trouble. He reached out his hand and said, "Come on, I'll carry you to mom. She'll make you feel better." Lily took his hand and smiled. She was glad to have a reliable brother, and she always loved him when he was nice. He lifted her up and carried her to mom, who was waiting outside the barn. "Mom, mom, look what I found!" Tom said. "Lily was hiding in the hay, and she got all itchy and sneezy." Mom gasped. "Oh, no, Lily, you poor thing. You shouldn't have gone near the hay. It's for the horses, and they have allergies. Come here, let me clean you up." She took Lily from Tom and hugged her. She wiped her face and hair with a wet cloth, and gave her some juice and cookies. She thanked Tom for being a reliable brother, and told them both to be more careful next time. Lily and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson, and they never played hide and seek in the barn again. They still liked to help on the farm, but they also liked to cuddle with mom and dad, who were the most reliable people in the world. Sam and Jen are friends. They like to play in the swamp. The swamp has mud, frogs, and bugs. Sam and Jen have fun in the swamp. One day, Sam finds a big stick. He says, "Look, Jen, I have a stick. I can use it as a sword." He swings the stick in the air. Jen says, "Be careful, Sam. You might hit something or someone." Sam does not listen to Jen. He keeps swinging the stick. He drops the stick on a frog. The frog croaks and jumps away. Sam laughs. Jen does not laugh. She says, "That is not nice, Sam. You hurt the frog. You should say sorry." Sam does not say sorry. He says, "It is just a frog. It does not matter. I want to play with the stick." He picks up the stick again. He swings it at Jen. Jen dodges the stick. She says, "Stop it, Sam. You are not a reliable friend. You are a mean friend. I do not want to play with you." Sam does not stop. He swings the stick harder. He drops the stick on Jen's head. Jen cries. She says, "Ow, Sam, that hurts. You are a bad friend. You are a bully. I do not like you." She runs away from the swamp. Sam is alone in the swamp. He feels sad. He says, "I am sorry, Jen. I did not mean to hurt you. I was just playing. Please come back. I want to be your friend." But Jen does not come back. She is gone. Sam has no one to play with. He has no fun in the swamp. Lily and Ben were going to see the big mountain with their mom and dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed some food, water, and toys in their backpacks. Mom helped them tie their shoes and jackets. "Are you ready to go?" Dad asked. "Yes!" Lily and Ben shouted. They got in the car and drove for a long time. They saw many trees, animals, and houses on the way. They sang songs and played games. Lily looked out the window and saw the big mountain. It was very tall and had white snow on top. "Wow, look at the mountain!" Lily said. "It's so big and pretty!" Ben said. They got closer and closer to the mountain. They saw a sign that said "Welcome to the National Park". They parked the car and got out. They followed a trail that led to the mountain. They saw more trees, flowers, and birds. They also saw some people who were hiking, biking, or camping. "Can we go to the top of the mountain?" Lily asked. "No, sweetie, it's too high and cold for us. But we can go to a nice spot where we can see the whole mountain and have a picnic." Mom said. "OK, that sounds fun." Lily said. They walked for a while and found a nice spot. They spread a blanket on the ground and took out their food and water. They ate some sandwiches, fruits, and cookies. They drank some juice and water. They enjoyed the view of the mountain and the sky. "Look, there's a bird!" Ben said, pointing to a blue jay. "It's so pretty!" Lily said. They finished their picnic and packed their things. They decided to play with their toys for a bit. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They made up stories and pretended to have adventures. "Let's go to the mountain with our toys!" Ben said. "OK, let's go!" Lily said. They picked up their toys and ran to a small hill. They pretended it was the mountain. They climbed up and down, making noises and having fun. They were careful not to go too far from their mom and dad. "Be careful, kids!" Dad said. "We are, dad!" Lily and Ben said. They played for a long time. They were having so much fun that they didn't notice the clouds in the sky. They started to get dark and gray. They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. "Uh-oh, it's going to rain!" Lily said. "I don't like rain!" Ben said. They felt some drops on their faces. It was rain. They got scared and anxious. They dropped their toys and ran to their mom and dad. "Mom, dad, help!" Lily and Ben cried. Mom and dad hugged them and comforted them. "It's OK, kids, don't worry. It's just a little rain. We'll go back to the car and wait for it to stop. Then we'll go home." Mom said. "Can we take our toys?" Lily asked. "Of course, sweetie. Let's go get them." Dad said. They went back to the hill and picked up their toys. They were wet and dirty, but they didn't mind. They were happy to have them. They went back to the car and got in. They put on their seat belts and jackets. They turned on the heater and the radio. They listened to some music and talked about their day. "Did you have fun at the mountain?" Mom asked. "Yes, we did!" Lily and Ben said. "Me too. It was a great day." Dad said. They smiled and hugged. They drove away from the mountain. They saw a rainbow in the sky. They felt warm and safe. They were a happy family. Lila and Sam were playing with their blocks. They liked to make different patterns with the colors and shapes. Lila made a delicate tower with small blocks. Sam made a big wall with large blocks. "Look at my tower!" Lila said. "It is so pretty and tall!" "Look at my wall!" Sam said. "It is so strong and wide!" They were happy with their patterns. But then, a gust of wind came through the window. It blew Lila's tower down. The blocks scattered on the floor. "Oh no!" Lila cried. "My tower is gone! It vanished!" Sam saw what happened. He felt sorry for Lila. He wanted to help her. "Don't cry, Lila," he said. "We can make another tower. Or we can make something else. We have many blocks." He picked up some blocks and gave them to Lila. Lila smiled. She wiped her tears. "Thank you, Sam," she said. "You are a good friend. Let's make a pattern together." They hugged and started to build again. They made a new pattern with their blocks. It was colorful and fun. They were happy again. The wind did not bother them anymore. Sam and Mia were playing with clay. They had many colors of clay. They made shapes and animals with the clay. They had fun. "Look, I made a snake!" Sam said. He showed Mia his long green clay snake. It had black eyes and a red tongue. "Wow, that's a good snake!" Mia said. She liked Sam's snake. She wanted to make one too. "Can you pass me some green clay, please?" "Sure, here you go." Sam passed Mia some green clay. He was a nice friend. He had a lot of clay to share. Mia took the green clay and rolled it in her hands. She made it long and wide. She added eyes and a tongue. She smiled. She had a snake too. "Look, I made a snake too!" Mia said. She showed Sam her wide green clay snake. It had yellow eyes and a blue tongue. "Wow, that's a good snake too!" Sam said. He liked Mia's snake. He thought it was different and cool. "I like your snake. It has funny colors." "Thank you. I like your snake too. It looks real." Mia said. They both laughed. They put their snakes next to each other. They looked like friends. Sam and Mia were happy. They played with clay. They made snakes. They had fun. Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they decide to visit Tom's grandma. She lives in a big house with a garden. They walk to the house and ring the bell. Ding dong! The bell makes a loud sound. Tom's grandma opens the door. She is happy to see them. "Hello, Lily and Tom! Come in, come in! I have some cookies for you!" she says. Lily and Tom follow her to the kitchen. They see a plate of cookies on the table. They smell yummy. They say thank you and take a cookie each. Tom's grandma asks them what they have been doing. Tom tells her about their games and drawings. He shows her a picture he made of a car. Lily shows her a picture she made of a flower. Tom's grandma smiles and hugs them. She says, "You are very good at drawing. I am proud of you. You are smart and creative. I love you very much." Lily and Tom feel happy and warm. They love Tom's grandma too. They eat their cookies and talk some more. They have a nice visit. Tom was a boy who liked to play in the woods. He liked to climb trees and swing on vines. He was not afraid of anything. He did not listen to his mom when she told him to be careful. One day, he saw a big branch that looked like a sword. He wanted to play with it. He picked it up and ran around, pretending to be a knight. He did not see the sharp end of the branch. He did not hear his mom calling him. He ran into a bush and the sharp end of the branch poked his eye. He screamed and dropped the branch. He felt a lot of pain. He could not see well. He was scared. His mom heard him and ran to him. She saw the blood and the branch. She was very sad and angry. She took him to the doctor. The doctor said he was lucky. He did not lose his eye, but he had to wear a patch for a while. Tom learned his lesson. He was sorry for not listening to his mom. He was sorry for playing with the sharp branch. He promised to be more alert and careful in the woods. He did not want to get hurt again. He hugged his mom and said he loved her. Sara likes to polish her shoes. She has a red cloth and a shiny tin. She rubs the cloth on the tin and then on her shoes. She makes them look new and bright. One day, she sees a spot on her shoe. It is black and sticky. She tries to polish it, but it does not go away. She is sad and angry. "Who made this spot on my shoe?" she asks her brother Tom. Tom is playing with his cars on the floor. He has long hair and a big smile. "I don't know," he says. "Maybe it was the dog. He likes to chew on things." Sara looks at the dog. He is sleeping on his bed. He has brown fur and a wet nose. He does not look guilty. "Maybe it was you," she says to Tom. "You are always making a mess." "No, it was not me," he says. "I like your shoes. They are pretty." Sara does not believe him. She thinks he is lying. She grabs his car and throws it out of the window. It lands on the grass. "Hey, that's not fair!" he says. "That's my favorite car!" He runs to the window and tries to get it back. Sara follows him and pushes him. They start to fight. Their mom hears them and comes to the room. She sees the spot, the car and the angry faces. "What is going on here?" she asks. "Why are you fighting?" Sara and Tom stop and look at her. They are quiet. They do not want to get in trouble. "Sara has a spot on her shoe and she thinks I did it," Tom says. "But I didn't do it," he adds. "Tom has a long hair and he likes to lie," Sara says. "But I don't lie," he says. Mom sighs and shakes her head. She picks up the car and gives it back to Tom. She takes the cloth and the tin and polishes the spot on Sara's shoe. She makes it disappear. "There, now your shoe is clean and your car is safe," she says. "Can you please stop fighting and say sorry to each other?" Sara and Tom look at each other. They feel bad for being mean. They hug and say sorry. "Thank you, mom," they say. Mom smiles and hugs them back. "You're welcome, my loves," she says. "Now, how about we go and have some cookies?" Once upon a time there were two friends, Jack and Jill. They played together every day in the backyard. Jack had a toy car and Jill had a doll. One day, Jack was being selfish and wanted to play with both the car and doll. So he asked Jill if he could borrow her doll. But Jill wanted to play with it. Jack said, “Please, Jill. I promise to replace the doll with a vegetable when I’m done.†Jill thought about it and decided it was a fair deal. So she let Jack borrow her doll. Jack kept his promise and brought back a big, juicy carrot for Jill. Jill was very happy and thanked Jack for being so kind. They played together for hours with their new toy, the carrot. The moral of the story is that friendship and kindness are more important than being selfish. Once upon a time there was a little girl and a big boy. The little girl wanted to play outside, but the big boy said, "No, you can't go outside today. It's too tight." The little girl asked the big boy why it was tight. The big boy replied, "Because the wind is blowing and it won't permit us to go outside." The little girl quietly accepted this answer. But then, she had an idea. She said to the big boy, "Why don't we build a hut outside? That way, we can still play outside, even if the weather is tight." The big boy thought it was a great idea, so they quickly gathered some sticks and leaves and built a hut. When the hut was complete, the big boy and the little girl happily played in it. The big boy thanked the little girl for the clever idea, and from that day on, they always permitted themselves to have fun outside, no matter the weather. Once there was a little girl who was very sad. She didn't know why she felt sad but she couldn't stop thinking about it. She looked at all the happy people around her and wondered why she couldn't be like them. Suddenly she heard a noise coming from the park. She ran to the park to see what it was. It was a lot of people laughing and having fun! She wanted to join them, but was too shy. Suddenly her sadness disappeared and she felt happy. She started thinking that maybe she just needed to make some noise too! She did her best to laugh and cheer just like everyone else, and soon enough she was able to join in the fun.

He soon came upon a big building that had a switch next to the door. He decided to press the switch but as soon as he did, the door opened and a flood of cheese came out. He was so delighted that he closed his eyes and hugged the cheese. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain on his back. He opened his eyes and saw the guard cat scowling at him. "You can't have this cheese. It belongs to the rich owner of this building," the cat said sternly. The mouse became very scared, but he knew he couldn't disobey the guard cat. He bowed his head and slowly walked out of the building. As he walked home, he thought of the rich cheese he had seen and felt a bit sad. He knew he would have to look harder for food another day. Once upon a time, there was a bee. He was very anxious because he was hungry. He flew around, looking for something to eat. The bee spotted something yummy in a flower garden. He flew to it and started to eat. He ate and ate until he was full. When he finished eating, the bee was no longer anxious. He was happy and flew away humming a happy tune. The end.

From far away, she heard an owl saying, "Pray little rabbit, pray." Florence wondered why the owl was telling her to pray, but she thought that it couldn't hurt to try. So, Florence stopped hopping and closed her eyes. She prayed really hard and waited. And then, shortly after she'd finished her prayer, something magical happened. All of a sudden, the fog started to lift. It was getting lighter and lighter, and the dull sky was now bright and sunny. Her way was now clear, so Florence hopped home safely.

She thought for a moment and then came up with an idea. She decided to replace the brick with some small stones that were lying around in the garden. So, she began to collect some stones and replace them with the brick. She was being very careful to make sure that she put the bricks in the exact same place she had taken them from. Meanwhile, her mom was watching her from inside the house. She was very worried because she thought Kitty was being too careless with the brick. Suddenly, she shouted out the window: "Kitty!

Mr Fluffy explained that he wanted to find the highest hill in the valley. The wise sheep nodded, understanding. "It won't be easy," she said. "But if you keep stretching your legs, you will find it.

A little bee flew over to see what she was doing. It hovered in front of her and said, "What are you doing here, little one?" Sophie looked up with sparkly eyes and said, "I'm here to get some honey. Do you want to dance with me?" The bee smiled and replied, "Sure! That sounds like fun." So the two of them danced around the honey, spinning and twirling and jumping up and down.

Some of them flew high in the sky, some of them fit into each other, making beautiful patterns, and some changed colour in the sun. "Look at me!" one of Timmy's friends shouted, making a bubble with his hands. They were having an amazing time with the bubbles until Timmy's mother called him to come home. "Bye!" he said as he waved goodbye to his friends and ran to his mum. "I had an amazing time playing with the bubbles!" Tommy and Jane were best friends. Every morning they would play together, and sometimes they would try to catch bugs. One day, Jane was feeling worried because she thought she had seen a big bug flying around! She had never seen a bug like this before. Tommy said that he had seen a bug like that before and he wanted to try and catch it. He told Jane not to be worried and said that he could catch it easily. He asked her to watch him try. Jane watched Tommy trying to catch the big bug. Eventually, he managed to catch the bug. He and Jane both cheered and laughed. Jane was very happy and no longer worried. Once there was a little boy named Tim who was always eager to explore. He was bored in his house and wanted to see what was outside. So one day, Tim gathered up his courage and went out to the playground. When he got there, he saw a lot of things he was very excited about. There was a large cube made out of wood that was standing alone in the playground. Tim wanted to see what was inside the cube and he thought it looked very interesting. He took a deep breath and opened the lid. Inside he saw a lot of bright colours, smells, and things he had never seen before! He was a bit scared but also excited at the same time. Tim grabbed a huge spoon and started to stir the huge pile of colours that was inside the cube. He stirred it up and it started to move around on its own. Suddenly, he heard a loud cheering sound coming from inside the cube. He was puzzled at first but then he realised that his stirring had brought to life some hidden creatures. They were colourful and lively and were having fun as they thanked him for saving them from the boring cube. Tim had an adventure to tell of and he felt so proud of himself. Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Lucy. She loved to play with her toys every day. One day, she found an unusual gem in her room. It was a soft, blue gem that sparkled in the sunlight.

"I want to play with it!" Lucy said. So Lucy and her mom went outside to the backyard and played with the gem. Lucy rolled it on the ground and tossed it up in the air. She was so excited and couldn't wait to show her friends the gem. It was a very special gem, and Lucy would never forget it. Once there was a boy named Billy.

His mom saw him and came over quickly. Billy's mom said, "What is this, Billy? This is poison and it can hurt you." Billy asked, "What's poison?" His mom replied, "It's a liquid that can make you very sick if you drink it." Billy asked, "Can I touch it?" His mom said, "No, you should not touch it. Let's discuss why it's not safe to touch it." So they discussed why the poison was dangerous and why they should not touch it. After they talked, Billy's mom said, "Remember, never touch this. It's very dangerous." Billy nodded and then they both went back inside the house. Billy learned a very important lesson that day. Once upon a time there was a brave girl. She wanted to prove to everyone that she was very intelligent. She had heard about a square that was said to have magical powers, and soon she had found out where it was. The brave girl was excited to find the square, but she was also a bit scared. She knew it was dangerous, and wondered if she should try to find it. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name. It was an old lady, and she was holding the square in her hands. The girl was amazed and very curious. The old lady asked the girl if she would dare to take the square. The brave girl took a deep breath and said yes. With a lot of courage, the little girl grabbed the square. The old lady smiled and said: "You are very brave and intelligent.

It was too high to reach without help. Thom was determined to rescue the kitten. He looked around until he found an old ladder. He carefully climbed up the ladder and soon enough the kitten was in his arms. The kitten was so dizzy from the fall, but Thom was relieved it was safe.

Olly was very worried, for the trees had not had enough water. He decided to fly to the nearest pond to gather some much needed water for his friends. As he flew, he saw a little girl and her mum. The girl's name was Daisy, and she was just 3 years old. Olly called down to Daisy, "Hello there. I'm Olly the wise old owl. I have come to fetch some water for the trees. Do you care about trees?" Daisy looked at Olly, her eyes wide with wonder. She thought for a moment before nodding her head and saying, "Yes, I care about trees very much. Can I help?" Olly was delighted, and together he and Daisy went to the pond to fetch the water for the trees. By the time the sun started to set, the trees were full of fresh water and moisture, which Olly and Daisy were proud to have provided. From that day onward, Olly and Daisy became like family, looking out for each other and caring for the trees in their very own special way.

Margaret's face turned sour. She wasn't happy with her mom's reply. She wanted to keep the shoe! Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. She asked, "Can I have a sour lollipop instead?" Her mom smiled and nodded. "Yes, you can," she said happily. Margaret smiled too, glad that there was no more conflict. She put down the shoe and ran off to get her lollipop. Mum and Dad had a special surprise for their daughter's 3rd birthday. Mum and Dad took her outside and showed her a tree. "What do you see?" asked Dad.

The little girl squinted and suddenly she discovered something special. "I see something sparkling and shiny," she exclaimed. Mum and Dad nodded. They told her to go closer and have a look. The little girl stepped up to the tree. She reached out and touched it. Inside the tree was a small box full of sparkles. "This is for you, sweetheart," said Mum. The little girl opened the box and found a necklace with a shiny heart. When she touched it, the heart glowed. "Oh, this is so good!" the little girl said.

Amy's mother said, "No, Amy. That naughty foot doesn't belong to us." But Amy was so eager to keep it, she refused to listen. Then suddenly, a very kind old man appeared. He said, "That naughty foot belongs to an old lady who lives nearby. We have to make it a point to return it back to her." So Amy and her mother went to the old lady's house and returned the naughty foot to her. Amy was sad at first, but she felt good after helping the old lady out.

They were having a lot of fun playing a game, laughing and tearing pieces of cloth into tiny pieces. Suddenly, Sophie heard a loud, deep growl from behind her. She slowly turned around and her eyes widened when she saw a big, fierce-looking animal. Sophie was so scared that she stepped behind her friend for protection. "What is it?" Sophie's friend asked in a frightened voice. "It looks harmless, but it's growling!" Sophie replied. The animal stepped towards them and Sophie's friend grabbed her arm and squeezed it tight. Sophie closed her eyes and tried not to cry, but just as the animal was about to lunge forward at them, it stopped. The animal had noticed something on the ground. It bent down and picked up a piece of cloth that Sophie and her friend had been tearing earlier. The animal looked carefully at the cloth, and then carefully tore it apart with its teeth. Sophie and her friend were so relieved that they burst out in laughter. That harmless animal had just saved them from potential danger and they were grateful.

She worked hard, but after a few days her car still didn't look good. Finally, she became frustrated and threw a fit. The nurse was so angry that she broke the car into many pieces. She didn't think about the consequences – she only wanted to make the car look better. But now, the car was in much worse shape than before. The nurse was really sad. She knew she had made a mistake and there was no way to restore the car back to its original condition. The moral of this story is to think before you act. If the nurse had taken her time and not gotten so angry, maybe she could have restored her car. But instead, she made a crazy decision and the car was never restored. Once upon a time there lived a family on a ranch. They had three children, and one of them was called Bob. Every day, Bob would go to school to study. One day, Bob got up early. He said to his mom, "Mommy, why do I have to study?" His mom told him, "Bob, studying is like learning. It helps us to understand things better." Bob had just one more question. He asked, "What if I don't understand it?" His mom smiled softly and said, "Don't worry. Just keep studying and you'll get it in the end." And that is how Bob learned to study on the ranch. He kept studying every day and pretty soon he was a very smart boy. Once upon a time, there was a smart tiger. He lived in the jungle, and he was king of the jungle. He was brave, and he enjoyed roaring. One day, he was so happy that he was roaring and jumping. He even roared on the big slide! The tiger's friends could hear him roaring, and they came to see what was going on. The monkey said, "Wow! What are you doing?" The tiger replied, "I'm having so much fun! I'm roaring on the slide!" The other animals smiled and said, "That sounds like so much fun!" So they all joined in, and they all had a great time roaring and sliding down the slide together. The tiger was so smart and brave that they all had so much fun. The tiger and his friends slid and roared until the sun went down. They all went home with big smiles on their faces, remembering the fun they had together. Once there was a group of friends- Jack, Jake, and James. They were always together and liked to play games and make things. One day, James had an idea- he wanted to mix some things to make a new creation. Jack and Jake weren't sure at first, but eventually, they said okay. They got some sand and mud and started to mix them together, but soon the boys all wanted to control the mixture. James told Jack to put more sand, then Jake said to put more mud. They kept going back and forth, and soon they were fighting. Jack's mom saw the fight and said to them, "Why are you fighting? You're supposed to be friends!" The boys stopped and thought about what their mom said. They realized that if you're teaming up to do something, taking turns and listening to each other is important, or else it can lead to arguments. So, the boys apologized to each other and decided to take turns in the mixing. They had a lot of fun and even made a great creation together. They learned that it's important to not be too bossy, and that working together can lead to the best results. Once upon a time, two friends named Laura and Peter were playing in the garden. They were both very excited to see the sunflower. Laura: "Look at the sunflower, it's so big!" Peter: "Yes, it looks so beautiful." Then, the naughty wind came and started to part the sunflower. Laura and Peter looked at each other like they had done something foolish. Peter: "What shall we do? We have to do something." Laura: "I know! Let's get some string from inside and tie the sunflower back together." So the two friends quickly went inside and got some string. They tied the sunflower back together and the wind stopped. Laura and Peter cheered for their success and the sunflower stayed happily in the garden. The end. Once upon a time, there was a roaring lion. He was so loud that everyone in the jungle was afraid of him. One day, he heard a splendid sound coming from a nearby meadow. He cautiously crept over to the meadow and saw a mighty piano in the middle of the field. Lion was curious. He immediately ran toward the piano and started to press the keys. The music sounded like nothing he ever heard before. Suddenly, the music changed and the keys started to make a loud noise. Lion jumped back in surprise, but he was so fascinated by the piano that he slowly crept closer and started to play again. He played until late at night, ignoring the loud roars coming from the jungle. Finally, when the roaring stopped and the last note of the piano faded away, Lion realized it was time to go home. He slowly got up and started to walk away. But as he walked away, he noticed something strange- the meadow was completely empty! He had been so absorbed with the piano that he hadn't noticed that all the animals had gone home while he was playing. Lion was filled with fear as he quickly ran back to his den. He was never able to forget that night when the piano left him alone and silent in the empty meadow. Once upon a time, a little bird named Kaylee was learning to fly. She was still very young, and was feeling helpless. As she was practising flying, Kaylee's mom watched sadly. Kaylee's mom said, "We must prepare you for the summer, when you will have to migrate with your flock." Kaylee looked confused. She asked, "What is migrate?" "That means you will have to build a nest and leave it behind, just like your brothers and sisters," Kaylee's mom replied. Kaylee was sad at the thought of leaving her nest and said, "I don't want to go!" But Kaylee's mom held her gently and said, "My dear, no one ever said life would be easy. Things will be hard and you will have to prepare. You must have courage if you want to grow up and be strong." Kaylee nodded and said, "I will prepare for the summer, mom."

One day, he would take out the garbage and the other day he would sweep the floor. Next year on the day of the challenge, Timmy was proud to see that he had finished all the chores. He shouted in joy and excitement. His mom smiled and said, "You did it! You kept your promise. You get a big reward!" He was so happy that he shouted again.

But I need you to do one more thing.†Jack asked, “What is it, Mommy?†His mommy smiled and said, “You need to give the strips a big hug.†Jack gave the strips a big hug and smiled. Mommy said, “Now they’ll stay in place until it’s time to open the presents. This is important so that none of the presents fall off of the tree.†Jack said, “OK, I’ll twist some more and hug the strips so that the presents stay safe!†His mommy smiled at him and said, “Good job, Jack. You’re a big help.†So Jack kept twisting, hugging and making sure the presents stayed safe. Once upon a time, there was a cool little girl named Lucy. She loved to explore the world around her. One day, Lucy wanted to find a way to carry the world with her. She asked her mom, "Mom can I carry the world with me?" Her mom said, "No, that is not possible, Lucy. The world is simply too big". Lucy was not happy with this, she said, "but I really want to carry the world." Her mom smiled and said, "I can help you carry the world in your heart, Lucy. That is the best way to carry the world around you." Lucy laughed with joy and said, "That sounds really cool, Mommy. Let's do it!" She hugged her mom and felt the warmth of carrying the world in her heart. From that day on, Lucy went on so many exciting adventures and she knew that no matter where she went, she had the world in her heart. Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Jane. She was three years old and loved to play. One day, her mother asked her to clean her room. "Please clean your room, Jane," her mother said. But Jane thought the room didn't need to be cleaned. She thought she could just play. "No, I don't want to," she said. Her mother was disappointed. She looked around the room and saw that it was a mess. "Jane," her mother said, "see how wide and empty this room is? It looks like zero." But Jane still didn't want to clean. Suddenly, Jane's mother said, "Do you know what zero means? It means nothing. When your room is cleaned, there will be something here. But if you don't clean your room, there will just be zero." Jane thought about this. Then, she smiled and said, "Okay! I'll please clean my room!" And with that she cleaned it all. Jane learned that when you're willing to do something, you make something out of nothing. And this is a very valuable lesson every child should learn! Timmy wanted to dance, but his shirt was too tight and he was feeling a bit self-conscious. He looked around, hoping no one would notice the label on the back of his shirt. He slowly began to move his feet to the rhythm, and suddenly he forgot all his worries as he really got into it. But then his friends noticed and started teasing him, saying his shirt was too tight and that he shouldn’t be dancing. Timmy felt so sad and embarrassed and ran away, hiding in the corner. Suddenly, his mom came and comforted him, telling him not to worry and proving him with new loose clothes. She hugged him and said that everyone loves to dance and that labels don’t matter. As Timmy put on his new clothes, he felt more confident and began to dance again. His friends realized their mistake and apologized, joining him in the dance. Timmy smiled and realized that labels don’t matter, but having fun and enjoying yourself does. He was free to dance and feel good no matter how tight his clothes were.

He noticed on top of the book there was a paper with the word "Page" on it. Sam felt sleepy, so he put the paper in his pocket, and nestled in the corner of the room.

They helped the lion into a car and drove to the hospital. The doctors said the lion was all better after a few days of rest. Before they left, the lion thanked Jack and his Mommy and roared a jolly goodbye! Once upon a time there was a little girl called Jane. Jane was three years old and loved going on trips.

To his surprise, he found a picture of himself, playing with a toy car instead of homework! Jacob was embarrassed, but he knew this was a lesson for him to learn. He promised his mom that he would never delay tasks anymore. The moral of the story is that it is so important to be responsible and to do things when we are supposed to. When we delay, we can miss out on learning important life lessons. Once there was a little girl named Anna. She liked to build. She was only three years old and didn't have very many tools. Her dad knew how much Anna liked building and bought her a helmet. When Anna opened the helmet box, she thought it looked very difficult.

She said, "Jack, that's enough! That is naughty behaviour and I won't tolerate it!" Jack finally stopped stretching and apologised. The teacher smiled and said, "That's better! Now, let's all be good pupils from now on, okay?" The pupils nodded and Jack nodded too. From that day on, Jack became a much better student and he even became the teacher's favourite pupil.

He loved to send letters to his friends, his family and even strangers when he had the chance. One day, the boy saw a disgusting man walking down the street. He thought about sending mail to him, just for fun. The boy smiled as he imagined the surprise when the man opened the mysterious letter. So the boy put a letter in the mail box, addressed to the man. The boy was so excited that he ran to the man's house, to see his reaction when he read the letter. But when the boy got there, he noticed the man was very angry. He looked even more disgusting than before. "Why did you send this letter to me?" the man asked. The boy was scared and he did not answer. The man then said,"You should never send things through the mail without knowing what the consequences will be.

Once upon a time there was a gifted little girl. She loved to make loops with her skipping rope. Everywhere she went, she skipped, looping the skipping rope around and around. But one day, she found out that the other children at school refused to join in her fun. She asked her friends, but whenever she asked them to join her, they all said no. The little girl was very sad with her friends' refusal, but she still kept skipping. Each day she made more and more loops with her rope, until it was a loop party. But the other children still refused to join. The little girl was frustrated and made a plan to show her friends how much fun looping could be. She held a special loop party with lots of treats, games and fun. She asked her classmates to come. But the other children still refused to join the loop party. The little girl was feeling very down. She wished her friends would join her, but they kept refusing. No matter how hard she tried, her friends still refused to join in the fun. Finally, the little girl went home all alone. She had a bad ending because her friends refused to join her. Molly and Tony were best friends. They were walking together in the park, enjoying the warm sunshine and the beautiful scenery. Suddenly, a dark shadow crossed their path. Tony was scared, and his little feet froze in place. Molly explained that it was just a shadow, and she wanted Tony to come closer to her, but Tony refused. His little chest was full of fear and he firmly told Molly that he wasn't going any closer. Molly knew Tony was scared and said, "Don't worry, Tony. I'll stay here with you, so you don't have to be worried. If you don't feel like putting one foot in front of the other, that's OK. We can just stand here and enjoy the sunshine, without worrying about shadows." Tony looked at Molly, his big eyes curious. He thought for a moment before slowly placing one foot after the other. When Tony and Molly reached the other side of the park, Tony was holding Molly's hand and hopping around with joy. The moral of the story is to not let fear define you. Enjoy life in spite of all its shadows. No matter how small or scared you are, you can still find a way to a brighter future. Once there was a tall man. He wanted to go on a big adventure. So he decided to pack his suitcase and get on a yacht. He asked his young daughter if she wanted to come, but she said no. The man said, "Are you sure? I think it would be so much fun." The little girl just shook her head and said, "No, Daddy. I want to stay home." The man smiled and said, "That's okay, sweetheart. You don't have to go, but I want to you remember one thing. If you always try new adventures, you will get many new experiences. You never know what can happen if you explore the world, and sometimes that can be a great thing." The little girl smiled and gave her Dad a hug. "I will remember," she said, and the tall man went off to pack his suitcase. Tina and Tom were playing together outside. Tom had a toy digger and Tina had a shovel. Tom wanted to operate the digger but Tina was scared it was too big. She said to Tom, "I'm scared to use the digger". Tom replied, "It's okay, I'll help you, come here!" So Tina came over and Tom showed her how to use it. After that, she was able to use the digger without being scared. But soon after, Tom wanted to use his digger and demanded that he wanted some new equipment. His mom said, "We don't have any money to buy expensive equipment". Tom said very bluntly, "Can I get some cheap equipment please?" Mom thought for a minute and then said, "We can look around and see what we can find". So, the two of them headed off to the store to look for cheap equipment for the digger. At the store, they found the perfect equipment for Tom's digger. It was not too expensive and it was just what Tom wanted. Satisfied, Tom and Tina went home with the new equipment and Tom was able to use the digger with the new equipment. Tom and Tina were happy to play together again with the new equipment. Mama was very excited. She was making decorations to decorate the house. "We need lots of decorations," Mama said. Mama bought some paper, paints, glitter and string. They set to work. Mama asked her daughter, "What should we use for decorations?" The daughter thought for a moment. Then she smiled and said, "Words!" Mama said, "Good idea! We will make words to decorate the house. What kind of words should we make?" The daughter thought for a minute. Then she said, "Expensive words. Expensive words will look so pretty on the walls." Mama smiled. "Yes, expensive words will look very nice. Let's go get some expensive words!" So the two of them went to the store and bought some expensive words. They took the words home and hung them on the walls. Mama and her daughter looked around the room. It looked beautiful.

He smiled at them and asked one of the children, "Do you want to bring me trouble?" The little girl looked up at the tall man and replied, "No, we don't want to bring you trouble." The tall man frowned and said, "That's too bad. I wanted someone to bring me trouble." Then one of her friends, a little boy, spoke up, "I'll bring you trouble!" The tall man grinned and said, "That's great! Let's go." They followed the tall man to a mysterious place and the little boy brought the tall man lots of trouble. In the end, the tall man was very happy. The three children learned a lesson that day: it is never a good idea to bring trouble. Heather and Pete were very excited. Today was the day that they moved into their new house. They had been waiting for this day for months. "My room is going to be so nice! We finally have a new house," Heather said to Pete.

Heather raced to the lake, splashing through the puddles as she went. When she arrived, she was in awe. "Look at all the water!" Pete arrived and looked around.

The painter had painted the walls red - which was Lily's least favourite colour! She started to cry and asked the painter why he had done this, but he just smiled and said, "It's a surprise. It will look more beautiful when day is done." The painter had been so sweet to her the whole day, so Lily decided to trust him.

The dinosaur called after him, “Don’t be scared, little one. You are so small and powerless, but you can still make it through the forest. Everything will be alright.†The bean stopped and looked back. He smiled and nodded before continuing on his way. The moral of this story is that even when you are small and powerless, you can still rush through life and make it to the other side. One day, a human was walking through the forest. They felt a chill in the air and their heart beat faster. Suddenly, a noise echoed through the trees. It was a whisper! It said, “Be careful.†The human felt scared, but brave. They kept walking, searching for the source of the whisper. Soon, they saw a small creature hiding behind a bush. It was only a few inches tall, with wings and a tiny mouth. The creature looked at the human and spoke. “I am a fairy,†it whispered. “I was trying to warn you about the dangers of the forest.†The human thanked the fairy for its modest advice. Then, they both went their separate ways. The human then made it out of the forest safely. Jenny was a three-year-old girl. She was very happy today because she had a brand new pencil.

Let's go back and do it again!". But Lucy said no way. She said she had to stay clean, otherwise she'd get into trouble. John smiled and said "Come on, it will be so much fun! Let's just stop and play in the mud, and then we can give each other a big hug again when we get to school". Lucy looked at John and smiled.

Emily smiled at her new friend and said, "Hi butterfly!" Suddenly, a loud car went by the road. Emily was scared, but the butterfly was brave. It flew away safe and sound. Emily felt better and she giggled. She then continued walking down the road. When Emily arrived at her house, she put the butterfly in her garden as a surprise for her mom. Emily opened the garden gate and she yelled, "Mom, come outside! I have a surprise for you!" Her mom came outside and saw the beautiful butterfly. She said, "Oh my, what an amazing surprise, Emily!

Tom ran around the corner and his mouth dropped open. He saw a big, glass lake. It was so calm and still. Tom wanted to get closer, but his mommy said, “No, Tom. You need to be careful near the lake. You can look, but remember not to touch.†Tom nodded and looked down at the lake in wonder. He learned that it was important to be careful and respectful even if something looks calm and pretty.

The Mom gave the boy some dough. "What do I do with it?" asked the boy. "You have to put it in the oven and let it burn," replied the Mom. The boy put the dough in the oven, but it didn't burn. "Why isn't it burning?" asked the boy. "Because you need to put it in for a longer time," said the Mom. The boy put the dough in for a longer time and the dough started to burn. The boy was so happy that the dough was burning. But then the Mom said, "That's enough. We want healthy cookies, not burnt cookies." The boy removed the dough from the oven and they made delicious, healthy cookies together. Moral of the story: It's better to be healthy than to do something too much and make it unhealthy.

Soon the caterpillar had nothing left to do but be all wet and cold. He was so scared and knew he would soon be dead. So the caterpillar sadly said goodbye to Flappy and lay still. But sadly he was already dead. The End. Billy was a little boy. He was walking outside when he saw something in the grass. He saw a red glove. He was very excited.

Billy put his hand in the glove and said, "Wow, it fits!" He was so happy. Then he felt something strange. It felt hot inside the glove. He tried to pull his hand out but his fingers were stuck. It was like the glove was stuck to his hand. He started to cry. Then his mom ran over. She said, "What's wrong?" Billy said, "My hand is stuck in this hot glove!"

It had a river running through it and lots of animals running around. One warm sunny day, Molly was playing in the valley when she came across a big pond. She decided to have a lovely wash in the pond. The water was so cool and refreshing. She dived in and splashed around. After a while she heard a voice call out. She looked up and saw her mum at the edge of the valley. "Molly, come out now! It's time to go home," her mum shouted. Molly was sad to leave the pretty valley but she knew it was time to go. She swam out of the pond, clambered up the bank and dried off with her towel. And that was the end of a fun day exploring the valley! Once upon a time, three friends were playing together in the park. They were having a great time running around, but all of a sudden, they saw an enormous team of animals. The friends were very scared so they ran away. But soon, they were all so tired that they had to stop. One of the friends said, "We should all sleep here, so we can be ready to run if they come back!" The other two friends agreed and they all quickly fell asleep in a big pile. Later that night, the enormous team of animals found them. But the animals just smiled, and went back to their own homes. So the three friends were safe and sound and their adventure was over. The sun was bright and the grass was green. A red musician had a guitar in her hand. She smiled at the blue sky and began to sing. Suddenly, the ground started to shake. The musician fell down and dropped her guitar. A big hole opened up in the earth, and a monster with four big eyes peered out. The musician was scared and started to run away. But the monster let out a loud roar, and the ground shook even more. The musician was too scared to move. The monster stretched out a big arm and grabbed the red musician. It pulled her down into the hole and the ground closed up again. The musician was never seen again. The people who were near the hole were sad. They wanted to find the red musician, but they knew it was impossible. The ground yielded nothing. Once upon a time there was a little boy named Bill. He liked to do many things, but his favorite thing was to play his trumpet. Every day he would grab it and make noises with it. One day, Bill was playing his trumpet outside when a butterfly flew in front of him. He watched it fly away and then said, "I want to add more music to my trumpet." He ran home and asked for his dad's help. His dad said, "Yes, of course, son!" He grabbed a few items from the kitchen and started to work on the trumpet. When he was done, it was much louder and noisier than before. Bill was so excited that he ran outside and started playing his trumpet again. He smiled as he heard the loud and noisy sound. The end. One day, a little girl and her mommy were out for a walk. As the little girl looked around, she observed a driver in a car. The driver was smiling and looked gentle.

His Grandma smiled and said, "Let's go outside." When they arrived outside, Grandma pulled out a big bubble wand. "This is a really reliable bubble wand", Grandma said. She showed Donny how to dip the wand in the bubble solution and to blow through the wand. When Donny had blown a few bubbles, he became very excited. He couldn't believe how much fun he was having!

The turtle was slow but was graceful. The race began and the rabbit quickly rocketed ahead. He could not believe it when he suddenly heard the turtle's shell rattling and rattling until the turtle drew even with him. The rabbit said, “You can’t win! You’re too slow!†But the turtle replied, “Ah, but I know a law. A slow and steady pace will always win the race!†The rabbit hesitated, not knowing what to do. Then he remembered his friends had taught him another law: never give up! He took off running. The race was close. The bunny raced as fast as he could, but the turtle stayed the course and ran in a graceful and steady pace. In the end, the turtle won the race! Little Jake was feeling bored, he wanted someone to play with. Then he thought of an idea. He took some sugar and made a funny face with it.

Jake said, "I made a sugar face to send to my friend. Can she come and play?" His friend's mum said with a smile, "Yes, of course she can come and play. What a cheerful idea!"

When she found him, she said, "John, I forgive you." John said, "Thank you!" Jane smiled, "Let's make something together to celebrate." So they made salt crystals.

"Here you go!" she said, handing Lila the umbrella. Lila held on to the umbrella and smiled. She blinked in surprise as the rain suddenly stopped and the sun came out.

It makes me happy." The robot smiled, too. It was a fake robot, so it couldn't whistle, but it wanted to join in the fun. Suddenly, it had an idea. It took off its arm and used it to make a loud, cheerful whistling noise. The little girl laughed. "That's great, robot!" she exclaimed. The robot beamed and put its arm back on. From then on, every time the little girl whistled, the robot would take off its arm and whistle right along with her. And they both had lots of fun. The End.
