"I want strawberry," Ben said. The man gave them ice-cream. Lily and Ben were happy. They licked their ice-cream and smiled. They saw a bird on a tree. The bird was singing. Lily and Ben liked the bird. "Look, a bird!" Lily said. "Can you whistle like the bird?" Ben said. "I can try," Lily said. She puckered her lips and blew. She made a sound like the bird. The bird heard her and flew to her. "Wow, you are good at whistling!" Ben said. "Thank you," Lily said. She whistled again. The bird came closer. It landed on her hand. Lily was surprised. She wanted to touch the bird. "Hello, bird," she said. The bird looked at her. It had wide eyes. It opened its beak. It bit her finger. "Ow!" Lily cried. She dropped her ice-cream. She shook her hand. The bird flew away. Lily was sad. She had no ice-cream. She had a hurt finger. She had a bad bird. Ben was sad too. He saw Lily cry. He wanted to help her. "Are you okay, Lily?" he said. "No, I'm not okay. The bird was mean. It took my ice-cream. It bit me. I don't like the bird," Lily said. "I'm sorry, Lily. Do you want some of my ice-cream?" Ben said. He offered her his ice-cream. He was a good friend. But Lily did not want his ice-cream. She was too upset. She wanted to go home. "Thank you, Ben. But I want to go home. I want my mom. I want a band-aid. I want a hug," Lily said. She ran to her mom. Her mom was on a bench. She saw Lily cry. She hugged her. "What happened, Lily?" her mom said. "A bird happened, mom. A bad bird," Lily said. She told her mom what happened. Her mom felt sorry for her. She gave her a band-aid. She gave her a kiss. "Let's go home, Lily. We can get you another ice-cream later. Maybe a different flavor. Maybe vanilla," her mom said. Lily nodded. She held her mom's hand. She said goodbye to Ben. "Bye, Ben. I'm sorry about the bird. Maybe we can play again tomorrow," Lily said. "Bye, Lily. I hope you feel better. Maybe we can whistle again tomorrow. Maybe a different song. Maybe twinkle twinkle," Ben said. Lily and Ben waved to each other. They left the park. They had a bad day. They hoped for a better day. They hoped for a nicer bird. Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big sign that said "Zoo". They liked animals and wanted to see them. "Mom, can we go to the zoo, please?" Lily asked. She used her best voice to request. "Maybe another day, sweetie. We don't have enough time today," Mom said. "But I want to see the tiger!" Ben said. He liked tigers. They were big and orange and had stripes. Mom smiled. She had an idea. "How about we pretend to be tigers? We can roar and run and play." Lily and Ben liked that idea. They nodded and smiled. They followed Mom to a grassy area. They got on their hands and knees and started to roar. "Rrrr! I'm a tiger!" Lily said. "Rrrr! Me too!" Ben said. They chased each other and rolled on the grass. They had fun. They were mild tigers. They did not bite or scratch. Mom watched them and laughed. She was happy. She joined them and roared too. "Rrrr! I'm the tiger mom!" she said. They all hugged and cuddled. They were a tiger family. They loved each other. Tom and Sue like to play with fire. They find matches and light them. They watch the fire and laugh. They think fire is fun and pretty. One day, they play with fire in the kitchen. They see a big pot on the stove. They want to see what is inside. They climb on a chair and reach for the pot. But the pot is very hot. The fire under the pot makes it hot. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom screams. He drops the match and grabs his thumb. He burns his thumb on the pot. It hurts a lot. He cries and runs to his mom. Sue is scared. She sees the match fall on the floor. The match is still on fire. It catches the rug on fire. The rug burns and makes smoke. Sue coughs and runs to her mom. Mom sees Tom and Sue. She sees the fire and the smoke. She is very angry and scared. She grabs a bucket of water and throws it on the fire. She puts out the fire. She calls dad and tells him what happened. "You two are crazy!" Mom yells. "You could have burned the house down! You could have hurt yourselves or me or dad! Fire is not a toy! Fire is dangerous! You are never ever to play with fire again! Do you understand?" Tom and Sue nod. They are sorry. They hug mom and say they are sorry. They show mom their thumbs. Mom puts ice on their thumbs. She kisses them and says she loves them. But she also says they are in big trouble. They have to go to their room and think about what they did. They have to learn to be safe and smart. They have to listen to mom and dad. They have to say no to fire. Ben and his mom were going to the airport. They wanted to see Ben's dad, who worked far away. Ben was very happy and excited. He liked to fly in the big planes and look at the clouds. "Mom, can we go faster?" Ben asked. He urged his mom to hurry. He did not want to miss the plane. "Ben, we have to wait for the bus. The bus will take us to the airport. It will be here soon." Mom said. She held Ben's hand and smiled. They saw the bus coming. It was old and noisy. It had many people inside. Ben and his mom got on the bus and found a seat. Ben looked out the window. He saw many cars and buildings and trees. "Mom, are we there yet?" Ben asked. He was bored and tired. He wanted to see his dad. "Not yet, Ben. But we are almost there. Look, you can see the airport. Do you see the big planes?" Mom said. She pointed to the sky. Ben saw the big planes. They were shiny and loud. They flew very high and fast. Ben's eyes widened. He clapped his hands and laughed. "Wow, mom, look at the planes! They are amazing! I can't wait to fly in one!" Ben said. He felt happy and excited again. Mom hugged Ben and kissed his cheek. "Me too, Ben. Me too. We will see dad soon. He will be very happy to see us." Mom said. They got off the bus and walked to the airport. They checked in their bags and got their tickets. They went through security and found their gate. They waited for their plane to board. Ben watched the planes take off and land. He wondered which one was theirs. "Ben and mom, please come to gate 12. Your plane is ready to board." A voice said over the speaker. "Come on, Ben. It's time to go. Let's fly to dad." Mom said. She took Ben's hand and walked to the gate. Ben smiled and nodded. He was ready to go. He hoped dad was ready too. He loved his dad. He loved his mom. He loved flying. He loved the airport. He loved his adventure. Sam and Mia like to play in the garden. They have a big red ball that they kick and throw to each other. One day, they see a tomato plant in the corner of the garden. It has many small green tomatoes that are not ripe yet. "Look, Mia, tomatoes!" Sam says. "Can we pick them?" "No, Sam, we have to wait until they are red. Then they are yummy and sweet," Mia says. "But I want to eat them now. They look like balls. Maybe we can play with them," Sam says. He runs to the tomato plant and grabs a green tomato. He throws it to Mia. "Sam, no! Don't do that!" Mia says. She tries to catch the tomato, but it is too fast. It speeds past her and hits the window of the house. The window makes a loud noise and cracks. "Oh no! We broke the window!" Sam says. He drops the other tomatoes he has in his hand. He and Mia look at each other. They are scared. They hear their mom coming out of the house. She sees the broken window and the tomatoes on the ground. She is angry. "Sam, Mia, what did you do?" she says. "You know you are not supposed to play with the tomatoes. They are for eating, not for throwing. And you broke the window. That is very bad. You have to say sorry and help me clean up." Sam and Mia feel sorry. They say sorry to their mom and help her pick up the tomatoes and the glass. They promise to be more careful next time. They hug their mom and say they love her. She hugs them back and says she loves them too. She tells them to go and play with their red ball instead. They do. They are happy. Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red apples. They want to pick some apples and eat them. "Look, Lily, apples!" Tom says. "Let's get some!" "OK, Tom, but how?" Lily asks. "The tree is very tall and the apples are very high." Tom thinks. He sees a thick branch on the ground. He has an idea. "I know, Lily, we can use this branch. We can number the apples and hit them with the branch. Then they will fall down and we can catch them." "That sounds fun, Tom, let's try it!" Lily says. They pick up the branch and go to the tree. Tom counts the apples. "One, two, three, four, five. There are five apples. I will hit the first one. You catch it, Lily." Tom swings the branch and hits the first apple. The apple falls down. Lily runs and catches it. "Yay, we got one apple!" Lily says. "It is big and juicy. Can I have a bite, Tom?" "Sure, Lily, you can have a bite. But let's get more apples. I will hit the second one. You catch it, Lily." Tom swings the branch and hits the second apple. The apple falls down. Lily runs and catches it. "Yay, we got two apples!" Lily says. "They are sweet and crunchy. Can I have another bite, Tom?" "OK, Lily, you can have another bite. But let's get more apples. I will hit the third one. You catch it, Lily." Tom swings the branch and hits the third apple. The apple falls down. Lily runs and catches it. "Yay, we got three apples!" Lily says. "They are red and shiny. Can I have another bite, Tom?" "OK, Lily, you can have another bite. But let's get more apples. I will hit the fourth one. You catch it, Lily." Tom swings the branch and hits the fourth apple. The apple falls down. Lily runs and catches it. "Yay, we got four apples!" Lily says. "They are soft and yummy. Can I have another bite, Tom?" "OK, Lily, you can have another bite. But let's get more apples. I will hit the fifth one. You catch it, Lily." Tom swings the branch and hits the fifth apple. The apple falls down. Lily runs and catches it. "Yay, we got five apples!" Lily says. "They are all delicious. Can I have another bite, Tom?" "OK, Lily, you can have another bite. But then we have to share the apples with our friends. They will like them too." "OK, Tom, that is a good idea. Let's go and find our friends. They will be happy to see our apples." Tom and Lily take the apples and the branch and go to the park. They find their friends and share the apples with them. They all enjoy the apples and thank Tom and Lily for their number game. The end. It was a cold day. The air was full of fog. Sam and Lily could not see very far. They wanted to play outside, but their mom said no. She said it was too harsh for them. Sam and Lily were sad. They liked to run and jump and make snowmen. They looked at the window and saw only white. They felt bored. Then, mom had an idea. She said they could decorate the house. She gave them paper, scissors, glue and crayons. She said they could make anything they wanted. Sam and Lily were happy. They started to cut and glue and draw. They made stars and snowflakes and trees and animals. They hung them on the walls and the doors and the windows. They made the house look bright and colorful. Mom smiled. She said they did a great job. She said they made the house look like a winter wonderland. She said they could have some hot chocolate and cookies. Sam and Lily smiled too. They forgot about the fog. They had fun decorating the house. Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they find a book on a bench. The book has many words and pictures. Lila and Ben open the book and look inside. "Look, Ben, this is a poem," Lila says. She points to a page with words and a drawing of a bird. "It says, 'I am a bird, I fly in the sky, I sing a song, I am free and happy.'" "Wow, that is nice," Ben says. He likes the poem. He wants to be a bird too. He wants to fly and sing. "Let's move like birds," Lila says. She flaps her arms and jumps. Ben does the same. They laugh and have fun. They move like birds all over the park. But they do not see the big dog. The big dog is hungry and angry. He sees Lila and Ben moving like birds. He thinks they are food. He runs after them. He barks and growls. Lila and Ben are scared. They try to run away. But the dog is faster. He catches Ben and bites him. Ben screams and cries. Lila runs to help him. But the dog bites her too. Lila screams and cries. The book falls on the ground. The poem is torn and dirty. The bird is gone. Lila and Ben are not free and happy. They are hurt and sad. They are not safe. The end. Lily and Max were twins who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. One day, they played a game of hopscotch in the backyard. They drew squares with chalk and threw a stone to see where to hop. Lily threw the stone first and it landed on the number four. She hopped on one foot to the fourth square and picked up the stone. Then she hopped back to the start. She was very happy and said, "I did it!" Max threw the stone next and it landed on the number six. He hopped on one foot to the sixth square and tried to pick up the stone. But he lost his balance and fell down. He hurt his toe and started to cry. He was very sad and said, "I can't do it!" Lily saw that Max was hurt and felt sorry for him. She ran to him and gave him a hug. She said, "It's okay, Max. It's just a game. We can play another one. Do you want to play tag?" Max nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, I want to play tag. But can you include my toe? It still hurts." Lily said, "Of course, I can include your toe. I will be gentle and not tag it too hard. You can be it first." Max said, "Okay, I will be it first. But I will still try to catch you. I am competitive, you know." Lily said, "I know, Max. I am competitive, too. But we are also friends. And friends have fun together." They laughed and ran around the backyard, playing tag and forgetting about the hopscotch. They had a lot of fun and did not care who won or lost. They were happy to play with each other. Lila and Ben are friends. They like to run and play. One day, they see a big race. Many people are running fast. Lila and Ben want to join the race. They ask their mom and dad. Mom and dad say yes. They give Lila and Ben a number. They put the number on their shirts. They say, "Have fun and be safe." Lila and Ben go to the start. They wait for the sound. They hear a loud beep. They start to run. They run and run. They see many things. They see trees and flowers. They see birds and dogs. They see other people. They say hello. They run and run. They get tired. They want to stop. But they do not stop. They remember mom and dad. They remember the race. They want to finish. They want to get a medal. They run and run. They see the end. They see a big sign. It says, "Finish". They see mom and dad. They see a man. He has a medal. He smiles. He gives Lila and Ben a medal. He says, "Well done. You did fine." Lila and Ben are happy. They hug mom and dad. They hug each other. They show their medals. They say, "We did it. We finished the race. We are fine." They are proud. They are friends. Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big bus on the road. The bus was red and shiny. It had many windows and seats. "Let's go and see the bus!" Lily said. She ran to the bus. Sam followed her. They got to the bus. The door was open. They climbed inside. The bus was empty. They saw a big wheel and many buttons. "Can I drive the bus?" Sam asked. "OK, but be careful," Lily said. She sat on a seat. Sam sat on the driver's seat. He pushed a button. The bus started to move. "Wow, this is fun!" Sam said. He turned the wheel. The bus went faster. He pushed another button. The bus honked. "Stop, Sam, stop!" Lily said. She was scared. The bus was going the wrong way. It was going to the lake. The lake was big and deep. It was distant, but not for long. "Help, help!" Lily and Sam shouted. They tried to get out of the bus. But the door was locked. They could not open it. The bus reached the lake. It splashed into the water. The water was cold and wet. It soaked Lily and Sam. They could not breathe. They could not swim. They sank with the bus. They were gone. Tom and Amy are twins. They like to play with their toys and read books. But sometimes they disagree about things. Like today, when they want to have a snack. "I want milk and cookies," Tom says. "No, I want milk and crackers," Amy says. They look at each other and frown. They both want milk, but not the same thing to eat with it. "Let's share," Mom says. She comes into the kitchen with a glass of milk and a plate of cookies and crackers. "You can have some of each." Tom and Amy look at the plate. They see four cookies and four crackers. They think for a moment. "Okay, Mom," Tom says. He takes a cookie and a cracker and dips them in the milk. "Okay, Mom," Amy says. She takes a cracker and a cookie and dips them in the milk. They smile at each other and eat their snack. They agree that milk is fine with both cookies and crackers. They say thank you to Mom and hug her. Then they go back to play with their toys and read books. They are happy twins. Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play a lot. They played with their toys, their books, and their dog. But they did not like to nap. They thought napping was boring and a waste of time. They wanted to play all day and night. One day, their mom told them to nap after lunch. She said napping was good for them and would make them grow strong and smart. She also said she had a surprise for them when they woke up. But Tim and Kim did not listen. They pretended to nap, but as soon as their mom left, they got up and played again. They made a lot of noise and mess. They threw their toys, their books, and their dog around. They did not care about napping or the surprise. But their mom heard them and came back. She was very angry and sad. She saw the filthy room and the unhappy dog. She scolded Tim and Kim for not napping and for making a mess. She said they were naughty and selfish. She said they did not deserve the surprise. She took away their toys, their books, and their dog. She made them clean the room and go to bed. Tim and Kim felt very sorry and ashamed. They realized they had been wrong and foolish. They wished they had napped and obeyed their mom. They wondered what the surprise was. They cried and hugged each other. The next day, their mom came to their room. She smiled and hugged them. She said she forgave them and loved them. She said she was proud of them for cleaning the room and saying sorry. She said she had a surprise for them. She gave them a poem she had written for them. The poem was about how much she loved them and how special they were. It was a beautiful and sweet poem. Tim and Kim were very happy and touched. They thanked their mom and kissed her. They said they loved her and the poem. They said they would nap and be good from now on. The moral of the story is: napping is important and listening to your mom is wise. You should not be naughty and selfish. You should be grateful and respectful. Your mom loves you and has good things for you. Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the park. But today it is cold and windy. Lily's mom says they have to wear coats. "Come on, Lily, let's go!" Ben says. He wears a blue coat and a red hat. He looks lively and happy. "OK, Ben, I'm coming!" Lily says. She wears a pink coat and a purple scarf. She likes her coat. It is soft and warm. They run to the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. "Me first, me first!" Ben says. He climbs up the ladder and slides down. He laughs and shouts. "Me too, me too!" Lily says. She follows Ben and slides down. She smiles and claps. They have fun on the slide. They forget about the cold and the wind. They only feel lively and cozy in their coats. Lia and Ben are at the beach. They like to play in the sand and look for shells. They see a big rock with many holes. They want to see what is inside. They go near the rock and peek into the holes. They see something pink and slimy. It has eight arms and two big eyes. It is an octopus! "Wow, look at that!" Lia says. "It is so cool!" "Can we touch it?" Ben asks. "I don't know," Lia says. "Maybe it is friendly." They reach out their hands to the octopus. The octopus sees them and gets scared. It shoots out water and ink. It tries to hide in the hole. Lia and Ben get wet and dirty. They scream and run away from the rock. A tall man sees them and comes to help. He is a lifeguard. He has a red shirt and a whistle. "What happened?" he asks. "We saw an octopus!" Lia says. "It squirted us!" Ben says. The lifeguard smiles. He lifts them up and carries them to the water. He washes off the ink and the sand. "It's okay," he says. "The octopus was just scared. It didn't mean to hurt you. It is a wild animal. You have to be careful and respectful when you see one." Lia and Ben nod. They say sorry to the octopus. They thank the lifeguard. They go back to their mom and dad. They tell them about their adventure. They learn something new today. Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and a swing. They want to try them. "Can I go first?" Tom asks Lily. "OK, you can go first. But be careful!" Lily says. Tom runs to the slide. He climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top. He looks down. He feels scared. He does not want to slide. "Lily, help me!" Tom cries. Lily hears Tom. She runs to the slide. She climbs up the ladder. She sits next to Tom. "Don't be scared, Tom. I am here. You can do it!" Lily says. She gives Tom her hand. She holds his hand tight. She smiles at him. "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend." Tom says. He smiles back at Lily. He feels brave. He slides down with Lily. They laugh and have fun. Their moms watch them. They are proud of them. They clap their hands. "Good job, Tom and Lily! You are very brave and kind!" their moms say. Tom and Lily run to their moms. They hug them. They are happy. They play more in the park. They try the swing and the seesaw. They share their toys and books. They are quiet and polite. They have a good day. Lily liked to be organized. She had a diary where she wrote down what she did every day. She also had a box where she kept her toys and books. She always put them back after she played with them. One day, Lily had a cold. She felt hot and tired. She sneezed a lot. She did not want to play or write in her diary. She just wanted to rest on her bed. She asked her mom to read her a story. Her mom came to her room with a book and a tissue. She sat next to Lily and opened the book. She read a story about a princess and a dragon. Lily liked the story. She listened and smiled. But then, Lily sneezed again. She sneezed so hard that she blew the tissue out of her mom's hand. The tissue flew across the room and landed on Lily's diary. It made a wet spot on the cover. Lily was sad. She did not like her diary to be dirty. She said sorry to her mom. Her mom hugged her and said it was okay. She said they could clean the diary later. She said the most important thing was for Lily to get better. She kissed her forehead and said she loved her. Lily felt better. She said she loved her mom too. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of the princess and the dragon. She hoped she would be organized again soon. Lila and Ben like to collect things. They collect rocks, shells, leaves and feathers. They have a big box where they keep their things. One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see many birds in the sky and on the ground. "Look, Ben, a feather!" Lila says. She runs to pick up a white feather from the grass. It is soft and light. She puts it in her pocket. "Look, Lila, another feather!" Ben says. He runs to pick up a black feather from the path. It is long and shiny. He puts it in his pocket. They see more feathers of different colors and sizes. They collect as many as they can. They are happy and excited. They want to show their mom their feathers. "Mom, mom, look what we found!" Lila and Ben say. They run to their mom, who is sitting on a bench. They take out their feathers from their pockets and show them to her. "Wow, you have so many feathers!" their mom says. She smiles and hugs them. "They are very beautiful. Where did you find them?" "We found them in the park, mom. There are many birds here. They drop their feathers sometimes. We collect them. We like them. They are soft and shiny and colorful." Lila and Ben say. "That's wonderful, my darlings. You are very good at collecting things. But do you know what else feathers are good for?" their mom asks. "What, mom?" Lila and Ben ask. "Feathers are good for making pillows. They make them fluffy and cozy. Do you want to make a pillow with your feathers?" their mom asks. "Yes, yes, we want to make a pillow!" Lila and Ben say. "Okay, then let's go home and make a pillow. But first, we have to put all your feathers in a bag. They are too many for your pockets. And they might fly away if the wind blows." their mom says. She gives them a big plastic bag. Lila and Ben put all their feathers in the bag. The bag is very heavy. They have to carry it together. "Wow, this bag is heavy. We have so many feathers. We will make a big pillow." Lila says. "Yes, we will make a big pillow. And we will sleep on it. And we will dream of birds." Ben says. They walk home with their mom, holding the heavy bag of feathers. They are happy and proud. They can't wait to make their pillow. They love to collect things. Sara and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a big doll and Tom had a small car. Sara wanted to play with the car, but Tom did not want to share. He said, "This is my car. You have your doll. Go away!" Sara got angry and tried to grab the car from Tom. Tom pulled back and shouted, "No! Stop it!" They started to fight over the car. They pushed and pulled and yelled at each other. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stop fighting and share. Suddenly, the car broke in half. Sara and Tom both cried. They looked at the broken car and felt sad. They realized that they had been very mean and selfish. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said, "We are sorry. We should not fight. We should share and be kind." Their mom came and saw them. She smiled and said, "I am glad you made up. Fighting is not good. It only makes you unhappy and breaks things. Sharing is good. It makes you happy and keeps things whole. Sharing is a power that you have. You can use it to make friends and have fun." Sara and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mom. You are right. Sharing is a power. Fighting is sour. We will share and not fight." They gave their mom a kiss and went to play with their other toys. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that sharing is better than fighting. Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the lake. They had a big kayak that their dad made for them. They could sit inside and paddle with sticks. They had a lot of fun in the water. One day, they saw a new boy on the shore. He had a small boat that looked like a banana. He was trying to get in, but he kept falling off. Tim and Sam laughed at him. They thought he was ignorant. They did not know what his boat was. "Hey, you!" Tim shouted. "What are you doing with that silly boat? That is not a kayak. That is a banana. You cannot paddle a banana. You will sink." The new boy looked at them and frowned. He was not ignorant. He was smart. He knew what his boat was. It was not a banana. It was a canoe. He made it himself. He liked to create things. "I am not doing anything with a silly boat," he said. "I am doing something with a canoe. It is not a banana. It is a canoe. I can paddle a canoe. I will not sink. You are ignorant. You do not know what a canoe is." Tim and Sam were surprised. They had never seen a canoe before. They did not know what it was. They felt ashamed. They realized they were ignorant. They stopped laughing. They wanted to learn more. "Sorry," Tim said. "We did not mean to be rude. We did not know what a canoe is. Can you tell us more? How did you make it? Can we try it?" The new boy smiled. He was not angry. He was happy. He liked to share his knowledge. He liked to make friends. "Sure," he said. "I will tell you more. I will show you how I made it. You can try it. But you have to be careful. It is not as big as a kayak. It is more wobbly. You have to balance well." Tim and Sam nodded. They were curious. They were eager. They followed the new boy to his canoe. They learned how to get in and out. They learned how to paddle and steer. They had a lot of fun in the water. They became friends with the new boy. They learned a new word. They learned a new thing. They learned not to be ignorant. They learned to be kind. Lila and Ben are kids who like to play at the park. They run and jump and slide and have fun. Lila is a chubby kid with curly hair and a big smile. Ben is a skinny kid with glasses and a loud voice. One day, they see a new swing at the park. It is big and red and shiny. Lila and Ben want to try it. They run to the swing and take turns. Lila goes first. She sits on the swing and holds the ropes. Ben pushes her from behind. Lila feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs and says, "This is fun! I like the swing!" Then, it is Ben's turn. He sits on the swing and holds the ropes. Lila pushes him from behind. Ben feels the swing go up and down and back and forth. He shouts and says, "This is cool! I like the swing too!" They swing and swing and swing until they are tired. They get off the swing and hug each other. They are happy and say, "We are friends! We like the same things!" They walk to the bench and drink some water. They see other kids come to the park. They wave and say, "Hello! Do you want to try the swing? It is fun and cool!" They share the swing with the other kids and make new friends. They play and play and play until it is time to go home. They say, "Bye! See you soon!" They hold hands and walk to their moms. They are happy and say, "We had a good day! We like the park and the swing and the kids!" Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in the garden with their dog, Spot. One day, they see a lot of red flowers in the garden. They are poppies. Lily and Max think they are pretty. "Can we pick some poppies, Mommy?" Lily asks. "Yes, you can, but only a few. And be careful, they have prickles," Mommy says. Lily and Max promise to be careful. They pick some poppies and make a bouquet for Mommy. They also give one poppy to Spot. Spot likes the poppy. He wags his tail. "Thank you, my sweeties. You are very kind," Mommy says. She hugs Lily and Max. "Now, who wants some yummy cookies?" "Me!

Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a pond with many ducks. Some ducks were big and fat, some ducks were small and thin. Lily and Ben liked to feed the ducks with bread. "Look, Mom, that duck is so fat!" Lily said. "Why is he so fat?" Mom smiled and said, "Maybe he eats a lot of bread. Or maybe he is just fluffy and warm." Ben wondered if the fat duck was happy. He wondered if the fat duck had friends. He wondered if the fat duck could swim fast. "Can I ask him?" Ben said. Mom nodded and said, "You can try, but he might not understand you." Ben walked to the edge of the pond and said, "Hello, fat duck. Are you happy? Do you have friends? Can you swim fast?" The fat duck looked at Ben and quacked. He waddled to the water and splashed. He swam with the other ducks and quacked some more. Ben smiled and said, "I think he is happy. I think he has friends. I think he can swim fast." Lily and Ben clapped and cheered. They threw more bread to the fat duck and his friends. The fat duck quacked and thanked them. He was happy, he had friends, and he could swim fast. Lila and Tom are friends.

Lila picks up the apple and looks at it. She sees a hole in the apple. There are worms inside the hole. The apple is rot. "Yuck, this apple is bad!" Lila says. "We cannot eat it. It will make us sick." She throws the apple away. Tom nods. "Let's go and find something else to eat," he says. They walk to the ice cream truck. They hear a voice from the truck.

They have a good day in the park. Ben and Lily were playing with their shiny cars in the living room. They liked to polish their cars with a soft cloth and make them look new. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. "Look at my red car, Lily. It is the fastest and the brightest," Ben said, holding his car in the air. "No, my blue car is the best. It can go under the sofa and behind the curtains," Lily said, driving her car on the floor. They were having fun, until they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. They stopped playing and looked at each other. "What was that?" Ben asked, feeling scared. "Let's go and see," Lily said, feeling curious. They tiptoed to the kitchen and peeked through the door. They saw a man with a big bag and a mask. He was taking things from the fridge and the drawers. He was a thief! "Hey, stop that!" Ben shouted, running into the kitchen. The thief turned around and saw the children. He dropped the bag and ran to the door. But he slipped on a banana peel and fell on the floor. He was smelly and dirty. "Help, help!" he cried, trying to get up. Ben and Lily ran to the phone and called the police. They told them what happened and where they lived. They waited for the police to come and catch the thief. But the police did not come. The phone was broken. The thief had cut the wire. He got up and grabbed his bag. He saw the shiny cars on the table. He liked them. He took them and put them in his bag. "Ha, ha, ha. These are mine now. Bye, bye, kids," he said, laughing. He ran out of the door and disappeared.

They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to have fun. We did not mean to soak the room." Mom sighs. She says, "I know you did not mean to, but you have to be careful. Water can damage the room. And you can slip and hurt yourself. Now, get out of the bath and dry yourselves. I will clean the room." Sara and Ben get out of the bath. They wrap themselves in red towels. They say, "We love you, Mom. We will be more careful next time." Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too, Sara and Ben. But next time, please play less hard in the bath."

"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam cried. He felt pain in his knee and his elbow. They were red and scraped. He looked at Tim and saw him laughing. "Ha, ha, ha! You are so foolish, Sam! You can't catch the ball. You can't even stand up!" Tim said. He pointed at Sam and made fun of him. Sam felt angry and sad. He did not like Tim's words. He did not think Tim was a good friend. He wanted to go home. "Stop laughing, Tim! You are mean! You are not my friend!" Sam said. He got up and limped away. He did not want to play with Tim anymore. Tim stopped laughing. He felt sorry for Sam. He realized he was wrong. He wanted to say sorry to Sam and help him. He picked up the ball and ran after Sam. "Wait, Sam! I'm sorry! I was foolish, too! Please, don't go! Let me see your knee and your elbow. Let me be your friend!" Tim said. He caught up with Sam and gave him the ball. He looked at Sam's face and saw tears. Sam looked at Tim and saw his face. He saw that Tim was sorry. He felt a little better. He wiped his tears and smiled. "Okay, Tim. I'm sorry, too. I know you didn't mean to hurt me. You are my friend.

They liked to splash each other and make waves. "Look, I have a cushion!" Ben said. He found a soft cushion on the chair and threw it in the pool. The cushion made a big splash and got wet. "Hey, that's my cushion!" Lily said. She was angry. She liked her cushion. It was pink and fluffy. She did not want it to be wet and dirty. She ran to the pool and tried to get the cushion back. "No, it's mine now!" Ben said. He did not want to give the cushion to Lily. He thought it was fun to splash with it. He held the cushion and splashed Lily with water. "Stop it, Ben!" Lily said. She was wet and cold. She did not like being splashed. She grabbed the cushion and pulled it hard. "Let go, Lily!" Ben said. He pulled the cushion too. They both tugged and tugged. Suddenly, the cushion ripped. The stuffing came out and flew everywhere. The pool was full of white fluff. Lily and Ben stopped pulling. They looked at the cushion. It was broken. "Oh no, what have we done?" Lily said. She felt sad. She liked her cushion. She did not want it to be broken. "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean. I should not have taken your cushion." Ben said. He felt sorry too. He did not mean to break the cushion. He wanted to make Lily happy. "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. I was mean too. I should have shared my cushion." Lily said. She hugged Ben. Ben hugged her back. They got out of the pool and dried themselves. They picked up the stuffing and threw it away. They found another cushion on the chair. It was blue and soft. "Can we share this cushion?" Ben asked. "Sure, we can share." Lily said. They smiled and played with the cushion. They did not splash each other. They were gentle and kind. They had fun.

He smiled as it pulled up to the stop and waited for his mom to get inside. The little boy watched as his mom said a number to the driver. He thought it odd and wondered why she had to give it. As the taxi drove away, he turned and ran inside to ask his mom why she had given it a number. His mom laughed and explained that it was her phone number. She said it was so the taxi driver could call her when they were done and she would come pick him up. The little boy smiled. He thought it was so cool that giving the taxi a number could make it come back! Sally and Jack were best friends. Every week they would sail together in their little junk boat.

He decided to make something creative with it. So he used some pebbles, sticks, and seaweed to build a little boat. He had so much fun building it and imagining it sailed across the ocean like the navy ships did. When the boy finished building his creation, he decided to take it for a spin. He filled it with a few pebbles, grabbed a stick, and pretended to row with it. The little boat bobbed up and down in the waves as the wind pushed it away from shore.

One day when it was cold outside, the ant was warm and safe eating his rice. The grasshopper was cold and hungry and came to the ant, asking for some food.

So, she closed the lid carefully. When the little girl got home, she told her mom and dad what she had seen. They were so proud of her for not taking anything from the cooler. Instead of taking something she hadn't earned, she chose to show respect for other people's property. The little girl learned an important lesson that day: it's important to be brave, but it's even more important to be honest. Respect other people's things and think before you act. That way, you can stay out of trouble and make your parents proud. Tommy and his mom were in the park. As they were walking, Tommy saw something shiny on the ground. He ran to it and was so eager to pick it up. It was a smooth piece of glass, and it felt interesting in his hand. He asked his mom, "What is this?" His mom smiled and said, "It is a piece of glass. Look at the texture of it." Tommy followed her finger and explored the glass with his fingers. He was fascinated by its smooth and cold surface. His mom said, "Let's follow the path and look for more treasures." Tommy smiled and said, "Yes! Let's go!" He put the glass carefully in his pocket and held his mother's hand as they went along their way. Billy was a restless little boy. He wanted to play outside, so his mom took him to the park. As soon as they arrived, Billy started to stretch his legs and arms, ready to have fun. Mom smiled and said, "Let's get started!" But then it started to snow and soon the park was covered in white. Billy frowned and said, "All this snow isn't very fun." Mom shrugged and said, "It's alright. We can still stretch. Come on, let's move!" Together they ran around, stretching their legs and arms in the snow. The snow looked like a cottony blanket and Billy felt so excited to play in the snow. Mom finally said, "Ok, Billy. It's time to go home now." But Billy didn't want the fun to end. He was still so restless, so he shouted, "Let's stretch just a little bit more!" Once upon a time, there was a new guard. He was so proud to protect his new post. Every day he would look around and make sure nothing bad happened. One day, he heard a loud twist. Something was wrong. He ran as fast as he could to find out what was going on. He saw a twister. It was a scary thing that spun around and around. He knew he had to stop it, so he bravely stepped forward. He held out his hand and tried to twist the twister in the opposite direction. After a few twists, he finally got the twister to stop. He was so happy that he had saved everyone from the scary twister. From that day on, the new guard became known as the twister twister! The little girl was playing in the garden. Suddenly, she saw something spinning in the sky. She looked up and saw a big umbrella flying around. She jumped for joy, it was so cool! Then she remembered she had been taught to not go near anything dangerous. She was a bit scared, but curiosity won and she started walking towards the umbrella. She saw it was spinning really fast, so she ran closer to see. As soon as she got to the umbrella it started spinning faster. She started laughing with excitement. She moved closer, touched it, and the umbrella started spinning even faster. She felt so brave for touching the dangerous spinning umbrella. She was not scared anymore! She started spinning with it and having lots of fun. Eventually, she got tired and ran back home with a big smile on her face. Once there was a poor family that lived by the sea. All the family wanted to was to take a surf lesson but they simply couldn't afford it. One day, the mom suggested that the dad take the kids fishing to make some extra money. The dad agreed and took the kids to the beach. When they arrived, the dad suggested to the kids that maybe they could watch the surfers instead of going fishing. The kids were so excited! They spent their day watching the surfers having fun in the waves. The kids were mesmerized by the skill of the surfers, but the poor family could never hope to join in. That evening the dad again suggested to his kids that with a little practice, they too could be great surfers. The kids smiled and promised to come back to try it one day. Months later, the mom finally got enough money to make the surf lesson possible. The kids put on their wet-suits and eagerly paddled out ready to catch their very first wave. Thanks to their dad's suggestion, the poor family had learned to surf! Once there was a kid who lived in a big house. Every day, the kid liked to play. He would run around in the yard and have lots of fun. He had some tough friends he liked to play with too. They would play tag and hide-and-seek together. The kid loved when his friends came to play with him. One day, the kid wanted to try something different. He asked his friends if they wanted to play 'tough race'. His friends agreed to give it a try. In 'tough race', the kids had to run around obstacles like rocks and trees. The first one to make it all the way around the yard was the winner. The kid raced around the yard as fast as he could and ended up winning the game! He was so excited to have won a tough race. His friends cheered for him, and the kid's family gave him a big hug. They were so proud of the kid for playing so hard. The kid was so happy to have been able to play a tough race with his friends. It was one of his most fun days! Once upon a time, there was a girl named Maya. She was very thoughtful and she used to think a lot about how she could help people. One day, Maya saw an old lady walking very slowly down the street. She stopped and watched the lady for a few moments, then decided to help her. She ran up to the old lady and said "Hello, do you need help?". The old lady smiled at Maya and said "Yes, thank you. I am walking too slowly and I don't have many steps left in me." Maya was overjoyed and immediately said "No problem, I can help you. I will use my steps to help get you to where you need to go!" The old lady thanked Maya and took her hand as they walked together. When they reached their destination, the old lady gave Maya a big hug and said "You're so thoughtful for using your steps to help me. Always remember to help others when you can, like you did for me today." Maya smiled and said "Thank you. I will remember this forever!". Once there was a boy who was out walking in the woods. He came to a big tree and noticed a thin knot in the trunk. He wondered what it was and decided to question it. The knot looked back at him and started to speak in a deep voice. It said it would grant him one wish if he answered its question. The boy was very excited and listened to the knot's question carefully. The knot asked him 'What is thinner than a ghost in the night?' The boy thought hard, but he couldn't answer. The knot told him that he had failed to answer its question and his wish would not be granted.
