The other frog was too busy focusing on the beautiful colours of sunrise to even notice Daisy. + +Daisy quickly became cross and shouted, “Why can’t you say hello?†The frog finally noticed Daisy and said, “It’s more important to appreciate the wonders of nature than to jump around in silly skirtsâ€. + +Daisy felt embarrassed and apologised for her rudeness. She realised that it was much more important to take the time to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of nature, rather than make a scene with her mighty skirt. + +From that moment on, Daisy always took the time to imagine the beauty of nature around her and shared it with her frog friends. +Once upon a time, there was a big melon.

That would be wasteful.†+ +Jack saw a tired old horse nearby and thought, “I wish I could marry this horse!†So he tried to get closer and pet the horse. But Anne stopped him and said, “Jack, don’t do that. You see that horse looks tired and doesn’t need our help. We should let the horse be so it can rest.†+ +Jack thought about it, and realized that Anne was right. So he said, “Let’s go home and marry some good food!†Anne smiled and said, “That’s a great idea! We can also marry some books and toys to help us have more fun.†+ +The moral of the story is to take care of what we already have, and think carefully before we marry anything new.

They had a toy kitchen in their room, with pots and pans and spoons and plates. They pretended to cook and eat and wash the dishes. Sometimes they pretended to be chefs, or parents, or pirates. + +One day, Sara had an idea. She said to Ben, "Let's pretend our kitchen is a magic kitchen. Everything we cook is special and has a surprise. But we have to be careful, because some surprises are good and some are bad." + +Ben liked the idea. He said, "OK, let's do it. You go first. What are you going to cook?" + +Sara looked around the kitchen and picked up a banana. She peeled it and put it in a pot. She said, "I'm going to cook a banana soup. It will make us very strong and smart. But we have to share it, or it will turn sour." + +She stirred the pot and pretended to add salt and pepper and sugar. Then she poured the soup into two bowls and gave one to Ben. They both tasted it and made a face. It was not good. It was bitter and mushy and cold. + +Sara said, "Oops, I think I added too much sugar. Maybe the banana soup is a bad surprise. Let's try something else." + +Ben nodded. He looked around the kitchen and picked up a carrot. He chopped it and put it in a pan. He said, "I'm going to cook a carrot cake. It will make us very happy and funny. But we have to eat it fast, or it will disappear." + +He fried the pan and pretended to add eggs and flour and butter. Then he cut the cake into two slices and gave one to Sara.

Let's have some more." + +They ate the cake and laughed and told jokes. They felt happy and funny. They did not notice that the cake was getting smaller and smaller. Soon, there was nothing left. + +Sara said, "Oh no, where did the cake go? Did it disappear?" + +Ben said, "I think it did. Maybe the carrot cake was a good surprise, but only for a little while. Let's try something else." + +They looked around the kitchen and saw a big red apple. They both reached for it at the same time. They said, "I'm going to cook the apple. It will make us very..." + +But they did not finish their sentence. As soon as they touched the apple, it turned into a frog. The frog croaked and jumped out of their hands. It landed on the floor and hopped away. + +Sara and Ben screamed and ran after it. They said, "Come back, come back, we want to cook you!" + +But the frog was too fast and too clever. It escaped from their room and went outside. It found a pond and jumped into the water. It was happy and free. + +Sara and Ben stopped at the door and looked at the pond. They said, "Wow, that was a big surprise. Maybe the apple was a magic apple. Maybe our kitchen is a magic kitchen. Maybe we should be more careful next time." + +They went back to their room and cleaned up their mess. They decided to pretend something else. They had enough surprises for one day. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cake on a table. The cake is bright and has many colors.

He thinks someone will be angry. But he also likes cake. He walks to the table and takes a small bite. The cake is tasty. He takes another bite. + +Lily and Tom eat and eat. They do not see the sign on the table. The sign says: "Do not eat. This cake is fake. It is made of plastic and paint. It is for a show." + +Soon, Lily and Tom feel sick. Their tummies hurt. They have eaten too much fake cake. They have gained a lot of weight. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Tom says. "This cake is not real. It is bad for us. We should have listened." + +Lily and Tom are sorry. They want to go home. They hope no one will find out. They hope they will feel better soon. They have learned a lesson. They will not eat things that are not theirs. They will not eat things that are not food. +Lila was a little girl who loved to sing.

She was very happy and decided to sing her song to the caterpillar. She said, "Hello, caterpillar. Do you want to hear my song? It is about you and your friends." + +The caterpillar looked at Lila and nodded. He was an obedient caterpillar who liked to listen. Lila smiled and began to sing. + +"Caterpillar, caterpillar, you are so small and green. You eat and eat and eat the leaves, until you fall asleep. Then you make a cozy home, a cocoon of silk and thread. You stay inside for many days, until you are ready to shed. Caterpillar, caterpillar, you are so brave and strong. You break out of your cocoon, and show your wings so long. You fly and fly and fly away, to find a flower so sweet. You sip the nectar from the petals, and make the world complete." + +The caterpillar listened to Lila's song and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He thanked Lila for her song and said, "You have a beautiful voice, Lila. You make me happy with your song.

It was shiny and had a star on it. They both wanted to wear it. + +"Let me have the cap!" Ben said. + +"No, it's mine!" Sam said. + +They pulled and tugged on the cap. They did not want to share. They were angry and mean. The cap was not strong. It split in two. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Sam said. + +They looked at the cap. It was broken and sad. They felt bad. They had ruined the cap. They had hurt their friend. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Sam said. + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Ben said. + +They hugged and said sorry. They were embarrassed. They had been silly and greedy. They decided to share the cap. They each took a half and put it on their head. They smiled and laughed. They were friends again. They played with the cap and had fun. They learned to be kind and fair. +Ben and Lily were playing with their colorful blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with them. They had many blocks of different shapes and sizes. + +"Look, I made a big tower!" Ben said, showing his blocks to Lily. "It is taller than you!" + +Lily smiled and said, "That is a nice tower, Ben. But I made a house. It has a door and a window and a roof. Do you want to see?" + +Ben nodded and followed Lily to her house. He saw that she had used many blocks to make it. He liked the door and the window and the roof. He wanted to go inside. + +"Can I go in your house, Lily?" he asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked her house and did not want Ben to break it. But she also liked Ben and did not want to be mean. + +"OK, you can go in, Ben. But you have to mind my house. Do not knock it down or take any blocks. OK?" she said. + +"OK, I will mind your house, Lily. Thank you!" Ben said. He bent down and crawled through the door. He looked around and saw that Lily had made a bed and a table and a chair with her blocks. He thought it was very cozy. + +He sat on the chair and pretended to eat from the table. He saw a block that looked like a cup. He picked it up and pretended to drink from it. He did not notice that the block was holding up the roof. + +Suddenly, the roof fell down and hit Ben on the neck. He cried out and dropped the block. He crawled out of the house and saw that it was ruined. He felt sorry and scared. + +Lily heard Ben's cry and ran to him. She saw that her house was broken and that Ben had a red mark on his neck. She felt angry and sad. + +"Ben, you did not mind my house! You took a block and made the roof fall down! You hurt yourself and my house!" she said. + +Ben looked at Lily and saw that she was mad. He felt bad and ashamed. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to break your house. I just wanted to play with the cup. I did not see that it was holding the roof. I'm sorry, Lily. Please do not be mad at me." he said. + +Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was sorry. She felt sorry and kind. + +"It's OK, Ben. I know you did not mean to break my house. I'm sorry I yelled at you. Are you OK? Does your neck hurt?" she said. + +Ben nodded and said, "I'm OK, Lily. My neck is a little sore, but it will be better soon. Thank you for asking." + +Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. Do you want to help me fix my house?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Yes, I do, Lily. Let's fix your house together." + +They hugged and then picked up the blocks. They worked together to rebuild Lily's house. They made it even better than before. They had fun and forgot their fight. They were happy and good friends. +Lila and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a big bucket and a small shovel to make things with sand. They moved the sand from the ground to the bucket, and then from the bucket to the ground again. They made a hill, a cake, and a snake with the sand. + +One day, a new boy came to the park. He had a red hat and a blue shirt. He looked at Lila and Sam and their sand toys, but he did not say anything. He was shy and did not know how to make friends. + +Lila saw the new boy and smiled. She wanted to play with him. She moved closer to him and said, "Hi, I am Lila. This is Sam. We are making things with sand. Do you want to play with us?" + +The new boy looked at Lila and nodded. He moved closer to them and said, "Hi, I am Ben. I like sand. Can I use your shovel?" + +Lila and Sam were happy. They gave Ben their shovel and showed him how to make things with sand. They moved the sand together and made a castle, a star, and a turtle. They had fun and became friends. They were not shy anymore. +Anna and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Ben runs to find a good spot to hide. He sees a big tree with many branches. He thinks it is a good spot to hide. He climbs up the tree and sits on a branch. He is very flexible and can bend his body to fit in small spaces. + +Anna counts to ten and then opens her eyes. She looks around the park and tries to find Ben. She does not see him anywhere. She walks around and calls his name. "Ben, where are you? I can't find you!" She hears a giggle from above. She looks up and sees Ben on the tree. He is smiling and waving at her. "I found you, Ben! You are on the tree!" She says. + +Ben laughs and jumps down from the tree. He lands on the grass and hugs Anna. "You are a good seeker, Anna! You found me!" He says. "You are a good hider, Ben! You are very flexible and can climb the tree!" She says. They are both happy and proud of their skills. They decide to play again, but this time they switch roles. Anna is the hider and Ben is the seeker. They run to find new spots to hide and seek. They have a lot of fun in the park. They love to play hide and seek. It is their favorite game. When it is time to go home, they say goodbye to each other and promise to play again soon. They walk to their homes with their parents, holding their hands. They are tired but happy. They can't wait to play hide and seek again. +Lily and Sam liked to act. They liked to pretend they were on TV. They had a little TV in their room. It was not a real TV. It was a box with a hole. They put pictures in the hole. Then they said words like the pictures. + +One day, they acted like animals. Lily was a cat. She put on ears and a tail. She said meow and licked her paw. Sam was a dog. He put on a collar and a bone. He said woof and wagged his tail. They acted like they were friends. + +But then, Sam saw Lily's tail. He wanted to play with it. He ran after Lily and tried to catch her tail. Lily did not like that. She hissed and scratched Sam. Sam did not like that. He barked and bit Lily. They acted like they were enemies. + +"Stop it, stop it!" their mom said. She heard the noise and came to their room. She saw them fighting. She was not happy. She took off their ears and tails and collar and bone. She said, "You are not animals. You are children. You have to be nice to each other. Say sorry and hug." + +Lily and Sam felt bad. They said sorry and hugged. They did not want to act like animals anymore. They wanted to act like friends. They asked their mom if they could watch a real TV. Their mom said yes. They watched a show about animals. They learned how animals live and act. They liked the show. They said, "Maybe we can act like animals again. But only the nice ones." +Tommy liked to play in the garden. He liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. He liked to make friends with the bugs and talk to them. He did not like to hurt them. + +One day, he found a big hill of dirt with many ants on it. He wanted to say hello to the ants. He put his hand on the hill and said, "Hi, ants! Do you want to play with me?" But the ants did not answer. They did not like Tommy's hand on their home. They bit his hand with their little teeth. Tommy felt a lot of pain. He cried and ran to his mom. + +Mom saw Tommy's hand. It was red and swollen. She put some cream on it and gave him a hug. She asked him, "What happened, Tommy? Did you touch something you shouldn't have?" Tommy was ashamed. He did not want to tell Mom that he bothered the ants. He thought Mom would be angry with him. He said, "I don't know, Mom. I just played in the garden." + +Mom looked at Tommy. She knew he was not telling the truth. She said, "Tommy, I know you like bugs, but you have to be careful. Some bugs can hurt you if you touch them. You have to respect their space and leave them alone. Do you understand?" Tommy nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't do it again." Mom smiled. She said, "It's okay, Tommy. I love you. But next time, if you have a problem, you have to answer me honestly. Can you do that?" Tommy nodded again. He said, "Yes, Mom. I love you too." He gave Mom a big kiss and hugged her. He learned his lesson. He did not play with the ants anymore. He played with the butterflies instead. They did not bite him. They were nice. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big hole in the ground. They want to see what is inside. + +"Can we go in?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "It looks deep." + +They look at the hole. It is dark and scary. They hear a noise. + +"Hello?" a voice says. "Is anyone there?" + +Sara and Ben are surprised. Who is in the hole? + +"Who are you?" Ben calls. + +"I am Tom," the voice says. "I am stuck. I need help." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry for Tom. They want to help him. + +"How can we help you?" Sara asks. + +"Can you find a rope?" Tom says. "Or a ladder? Or something to pull me up?" + +Sara and Ben look around. They see a rope on a tree. They run to get it. + +"Here, we have a rope!" Ben says. He throws one end of the rope into the hole. + +"Thank you!" Tom says. He grabs the rope. Sara and Ben pull hard. They pull Tom out of the hole. + +Tom is dirty and tired. He smiles at Sara and Ben. + +"Thank you so much!" he says. "You are very kind. How did you find me?" + +"We heard your word," Sara says. + +"Yes, your word helped us," Ben says. + +Tom hugs Sara and Ben. They are happy. They are friends. They play in the park. They stay away from the hole. It is too deep. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different shapes and colors. They can make towers, houses, cars and more. + +One day, they want to make a big circle with blocks. They look for blocks that are round. They have some round blocks, but not enough. They try to use other blocks, but they do not fit. The circle is not complete. It has gaps and bumps. + +"This is hard," Lila says. "We need more round blocks." + +"Maybe we can ask Mom," Ben says. "She has a big box of blocks in the closet. Maybe there are more round blocks there." + +They go to Mom and ask her. Mom smiles and says, "Sure, you can have more blocks. But you have to share and be careful. Some of the blocks are small and some are sharp. Do not put them in your mouth or hurt yourself." + +"Okay, Mom," Lila and Ben say. They thank Mom and take the big box of blocks to their playroom. They open the box and find many more round blocks. They are happy. They add the round blocks to their circle. They make it bigger and bigger. They fill the gaps and smooth the bumps. They have a big circle with blocks. + +"Wow, we did it!" Lila says. "We have a big circle!" + +"It is awesome!" Ben says. "We are good at making circles!" + +They hug each other and admire their circle. They are proud of their work. They have fun with their blocks. They have a good day. +Ben and Lily liked to play hide and seek in the park. Ben was good at finding hidden places, like behind the big tree or under the slide. Lily was good at counting and looking for Ben, but sometimes she got tired and wanted to do something else. + +One day, they saw a big post with a sign on it. The sign had words and pictures, but they could not read them. They only knew that the post was for people who wanted to send letters. Ben had an idea. He said to Lily, "Let's play a new game. I will hide a letter for you, and you have to find it. Then you hide a letter for me, and I have to find it. We can use these leaves as letters." + +Lily liked the idea. She agreed to play. Ben went first. He took a leaf and wrote his name on it with a stick. He looked for a good place to hide it. He saw a hole in the post, near the bottom. He thought it was a perfect spot. He put the leaf inside the hole and ran back to Lily. He said, "I hid a letter for you. Can you find it?" + +Lily started to look for the letter. She checked behind the bushes, under the bench, and in the trash can. She could not find it. She was getting frustrated. She asked Ben, "Is it very hidden?" Ben nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, it is. But you can do it. You can manage." + +Lily did not give up. She looked harder. She noticed the post and the sign. She wondered if Ben hid the letter there. She walked closer and looked at the post. She saw the hole. She reached inside and felt something. She pulled it out. It was the leaf with Ben's name on it. She was so happy. She shouted, "I found it! I found it!" + +Ben clapped and cheered. He said, "You did it! You managed! You are very smart!" Lily smiled and hugged him. She said, "Thank you! That was a fun game. Now it's your turn. I will hide a letter for you." They took turns hiding and finding letters, until it was time to go home. They had a lot of fun with the post and the leaves. They decided to play the game again next time. +Ben and Mia like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make noises like vroom and beep when they move them on the floor. Sometimes they pretend they are racing or going on a trip. + +One day, they find a big box in the corner of the room. It has a lock on it and a key next to it. They wonder what is inside the box. Maybe more cars or other toys. They want to open it and see. + +Ben takes the key and puts it in the lock. He turns it and hears a click. He unlocks the box and lifts the lid. He and Mia look inside and gasp. There are many animals in the box. There are dogs and cats and rabbits and birds. They are all very quiet and still. + +Ben and Mia are confused. Why are there animals in the box? Why are they not making any sounds? They touch them gently and see that they are soft and warm. They are not toys, they are real. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is their mom. She smiles and says, "Surprise! These are your new friends. They are from the shelter. They need a home and someone to love them. They are all deaf, so they cannot hear you, but they can feel you. Do you want to keep them?" + +Ben and Mia nod and hug their mom. They are happy and excited. They take the animals out of the box and play with them. They give them names and food and water. They make signs with their hands to communicate with them. They are a big group of friends. They love their deaf animals. +Sam liked to help his mom in the garden. He liked to see the green plants grow and make red tomatoes. He liked to pick the tomatoes and put them in a basket. He liked to eat the tomatoes with salt and cheese. + +One day, Sam went to the garden with his mom. He saw a big tomato on a plant. He wanted to pick it and eat it. He reached for the tomato, but it was too high. He tried to jump, but he could not reach it. He looked for a stool, but he could not find one. + +He saw a big rock near the plant. He thought he could step on the rock and get the tomato. He ran to the rock and stepped on it. But the rock was not a rock. It was a spoiled tomato that had fallen from the plant. It was soft and mushy and smelly. It squished under Sam's foot and made a loud pop. Sam slipped and fell on the ground. He was covered in spoiled tomato juice and seeds. + +Sam started to cry. He did not like the spoiled tomato. He did not like the smell and the mess. He wanted a clean tomato. He wanted his mom. + +His mom heard him cry and ran to him. She saw what had happened and hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Sam. It was an accident. You did not know it was a spoiled tomato. Let's go inside and wash up. We have more tomatoes in the basket. We can eat them later." + +Sam nodded and sniffed. He felt better. He went inside with his mom and washed up. He put on a clean shirt and pants. He ate a fresh tomato with salt and cheese. He liked the fresh tomato. He did not like the spoiled tomato. He learned to be careful where he stepped. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play hide and seek in the park. Tom is good at hiding. Mia is good at finding. One day, they play hide and seek when it is cold outside. They wear warm hats and coats. + +Tom says, "I will hide first. You count to ten and then find me." Mia says, "OK. I will find you fast." Tom runs away and looks for a good spot. He sees a big box near a tree. He thinks, "This is a good spot. I can fit in the box and Mia will not see me." He opens the box and gets inside. He closes the box and waits. + +Mia counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks around and tries to find Tom. She sees the swings, the slide, the bench, the flowers, but no Tom. She thinks, "Where is Tom? He is very good at hiding." She walks around and looks for clues. She sees a big box near a tree. She thinks, "Maybe Tom is in the box. I will peek and see." She walks to the box and lifts the lid. + +She sees Tom in the box. He is shivering and his nose is red. He says, "Brrr, it is cold in here. You found me, Mia." Mia says, "Yes, I found you, Tom. But why did you hide in the box? It is cold and dark and not fun." Tom says, "I thought it was a good spot. I did not know it was cold. I wanted to win." Mia says, "It is OK, Tom. You are good at hiding. But next time, hide somewhere warm and bright and fun. Come on, let's go and play something else." Tom says, "OK, Mia. You are good at finding. And you are a good friend." They get out of the box and run to the swings. They play and laugh and forget about the cold. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. But it was very hot and sunny. Lila wanted to find some shade to rest. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go under that big tree. It has a lot of shade and we can sit on the grass," Lila said. + +But Ben did not want to go. He wanted to stay on the swing. He liked to go high and fast. He did not care about the sun. + +"No, Lila, I don't want to go. I want to swing. You go if you want, but I'm staying here," Ben said. He was very bossy. + +Lila was sad and angry. She did not like Ben's tone. She wanted him to be nice and yield. She tried to persuade him. + +"Please, Ben, it's too hot here. You can swing later. The tree is not far. It will be cooler and nicer there. Don't you want to be my friend?" Lila said. + +But Ben did not listen. He shook his head and kept swinging. He did not want to be Lila's friend. He wanted to do what he wanted. + +"Fine, Lila, go away. I don't need you. I don't need anyone. I'm the best swinger in the park. No one can swing higher than me," Ben said. He was very proud and rude. + +Lila felt hurt and lonely. She decided to go to the tree by herself. She walked away from Ben and did not look back. She hoped he would change his mind and follow her. + +But he did not. He kept swinging and swinging. He did not see the big bee that was flying near him. He did not hear the buzz that was getting louder and louder. He did not feel the sting that was coming closer and closer. + +Until it was too late. + +The bee stung Ben on his nose. He screamed and let go of the swing. He fell to the ground and cried. He felt a lot of pain and fear. He wanted Lila to help him. He wanted Lila to be his friend. + +But Lila was not there. She was under the tree. She was in the shade. She was happy and safe. + +She did not hear Ben's scream. She did not see Ben's fall. She did not care about Ben's sting. + +She had a new friend. A nice and kind friend. A friend who liked to share and yield. A friend who was not bossy. + +His name was Tom. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend they are driving on the road. + +One day, they find a big cardboard box in the garage. They think it looks like a car. They ask their dad if they can use it. Their dad says yes, but they have to be careful. + +Lily and Max are very happy. They decorate the box with stickers and crayons. They make a steering wheel and a horn. They also make a license for their car. It has their names and a picture of a star. + +They take their car outside and put it on the sidewalk. They take turns to sit inside and drive. They make noises like vroom and beep. They wave to their neighbors and smile. + +"Can I drive now?" Max asks Lily. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. Then it's my turn again," Lily says. + +They switch places. Max holds the steering wheel and Lily holds the license. They are having fun. + +Suddenly, they see a big dog running towards them. It is barking loudly. It looks angry. Lily and Max are scared. They don't know what to do. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. + +Their dad hears them. He comes out of the house. He sees the dog. He is not afraid. He knows the dog. It is their neighbor's dog. His name is Spot. He is friendly, but he likes to chase things. + +Their dad calls Spot. He says, "Spot, come here. Leave the kids alone. They are not playing with you. They are playing with their car." + +Spot listens to their dad. He stops barking. He comes to their dad. He wags his tail. He licks their dad's hand. + +Their dad pets Spot. He says, "Good boy, Spot. You are a helpful dog. You are just curious. But you have to be gentle with the kids. They are small and they get scared." + +Lily and Max come out of their car. They are still shaking. They hug their dad. They say, "Thank you, dad. You saved us. You are the best dad ever." + +Their dad hugs them back. He says, "You're welcome, kids. I love you. You are very brave. You made a great car. Can I see your license?" + +Lily and Max show him their license. They are proud. Their dad smiles. He says, "Wow, this is a very nice license. You are very creative. Can I drive your car with you?" + +Lily and Max nod. They say, "Yes, dad. You can drive with us. But you have to share. And you have to make noises like vroom and beep." + +Their dad agrees. He says, "OK, kids. Let's go for a ride. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep." + +They all get in the car. They drive around the sidewalk. They laugh and have fun. They hope Spot will not chase them again. They hope their mom will like their car too. They hope they can play with their car every day. They are very happy. +Sara loved to read books. She had many books in her room. She read them every day. Reading was her luxury. She felt happy when she read. + +One day, her brother Tom came to her room. He was bored. He wanted to play with Sara. He saw her books. He did not like books. He thought they were boring. + +"Hey, Sara, stop reading. Let's play with my cars," he said. + +"No, Tom, I want to read. Reading is fun. Go away," Sara said. + +Tom was angry. He grabbed one of her books. He tore the pages. He threw them on the floor. + +Sara was shocked. She cried. She loved her book. Tom had ruined it. + +"Tom, you are mean. You are bitter. Why did you do that?" she asked. + +Tom did not answer. He ran away. He did not care. + +Sara picked up the torn pages. She tried to fix her book. She was sad. She wished Tom would like books too. She wished he would be nice to her. She wished he would read with her. +Lily loved her puppy, Spot. He was black and white and very soft. He liked to run and play and bark. Lily liked to hug him and feed him and brush him. + +One day, Lily and Spot went to the park with Mommy. There were many other dogs and people there. Spot was very happy and wanted to say hello to everyone. He pulled on his leash and wagged his tail. + +"Slow down, Spot!" Lily said. "You are too fast for me!" + +Mommy smiled and said, "Let's find a nice spot to sit and have a snack. Maybe Spot will calm down a bit." + +They walked to a bench under a big tree. Mommy took out some cookies and juice for Lily and some water and kibble for Spot. Lily and Spot sat on the bench and ate their snacks. + +Suddenly, Lily saw a big red ball rolling towards them. It was very wide and shiny. Lily liked balls. She wanted to play with it. + +"Look, Mommy, a ball!" Lily said. "Can I have it?" + +Mommy looked at the ball and frowned. She saw a boy running after it. He looked angry and scared. + +"Wait, Lily, that's not our ball. That's someone else's ball. We have to give it back." + +But Lily did not listen. She jumped off the bench and ran to the ball. She picked it up and hugged it. + +"Mine!" she said. + +Spot saw Lily running and followed her. He thought it was a game. He barked and jumped and tried to bite the ball. + +"Spot, no!" Lily said. "This is my ball!" + +The boy reached them and saw Lily and Spot with his ball. He was very mad. He yelled and grabbed the ball from Lily. + +"Hey, that's my ball! Give it back, you little thief!" + +Lily was shocked and scared. She did not mean to steal the ball. She just wanted to play with it. She started to cry. + +"Mommy!" she wailed. + +Mommy heard Lily and ran to her. She saw the boy and the ball and understood what happened. She apologized to the boy and explained that Lily and Spot did not know any better. She asked him to be nice and share his ball with them. + +The boy paused and looked at Lily and Spot. He saw that they were not bad. They were just curious and playful. He felt sorry for making them cry. He decided to be nice and share his ball with them. + +"Okay, I'm sorry too. Do you want to play with me and my ball?" he asked. + +Lily and Spot nodded and smiled. They wiped their tears and thanked the boy. They all went to a wide open space and played with the ball. They had a lot of fun. + +Mommy watched them and smiled. She was glad that they made a new friend. She was proud of Lily and Spot for being brave and kind. She hoped that they would always remember to share and care. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. But the sky was gloomy and it looked like rain. + +"Let's go inside, Ben," Lily said. "It's too dark and cold out here." + +"No, I want to play more," Ben said. He pushed his car harder and made it bump into Lily's car. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily said. "You're ruining my car!" + +"I don't care, it's fun!" Ben said. He pushed his car again and made Lily's car fall over. + +Lily got angry and grabbed Ben's car. She threw it into the bushes. + +"That's not fair!" Ben shouted. He ran after Lily and tried to take her car. + +They started to fight and pull each other's hair. They did not see the big dog that came out of the neighbor's house. The dog was hungry and angry. It saw the children and barked loudly. + +Ben and Lily stopped fighting and looked at the dog. They were scared and tried to run away. But the dog was faster and caught Ben by his leg. It bit him hard and made him cry. + +Lily screamed and ran to the door. She banged on it and called for her mom. But her mom was busy and did not hear her. + +The dog dragged Ben to the bushes and shook him with its teeth. Ben felt a lot of pain and blood. He wished he had listened to Lily and gone inside. He wished he had not pushed her car. He wished he had been nice to her. But it was too late. The dog did not let go of him. He closed his eyes and stopped crying. +Lily and Ben were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box that they pretended was their treasure chest. They filled it with shiny things like coins, rings, and necklaces. They also put some yellow rocks that they found in the sand. They said they were gold. + +"Arrr, matey, we have the best treasure in the world!" Ben said, putting on a pirate hat. + +"Let's count our gold, captain!" Lily said, opening the box. + +They took out the yellow rocks and put them in a pile. They started to count them one by one. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" Lily said, holding up her fingers. + +"Wow, we have ten gold rocks! That's a lot!" Ben said, clapping his hands. + +They were so happy that they did not see the cat sneaking up behind them. The cat was curious and wanted to play with the shiny things. It jumped on the box and knocked over some of the coins, rings, and necklaces. They made a loud noise and rolled on the ground. + +"Hey, stop that, kitty!" Ben shouted, running after the cat. + +But the cat was too fast and ran away with a necklace in its mouth. + +"Oh no, our treasure!" Lily cried, looking at the mess. + +She saw that one of the yellow rocks was broken. It was not gold, but clay. It was fragile and cracked easily. + +"Look, Ben, this is not gold. It's just dirt!" Lily said, showing him the broken rock. + +Ben looked at it and felt sad. He thought they had real gold. + +"Maybe we can find more gold somewhere else," he said, trying to cheer up. + +"Maybe, but we have to be careful. Some things are not what they seem. And some things are fragile and can break," Lily said, putting the broken rock back in the box. + +They decided to keep playing pirates, but they did not count their gold anymore. They counted their coins, rings, and necklaces instead. They were still shiny and fun. And they were not fragile. +Lily and Tom like to play in the garden. They have a big bucket and a small spoon. They fill the bucket with mud and water. They stir and stir. They make mud cakes. + +They put the mud cakes on a tray. They pretend to bake them in the sun. They say, "Mmm, yummy, yummy!" They laugh and smile. + +But then, the sky turns dark. The wind blows hard. The rain falls fast. Lily and Tom run inside. They leave the tray and the bucket in the garden. + +The rain washes away the mud cakes. The tray and the bucket are clear. The sun comes out again. Lily and Tom look out the window. They see their empty tray and bucket. + +They say, "Oh no, our mud cakes are gone!" They feel sad. But then, they have an idea. They say, "Let's make more mud cakes!" They put on their boots and coats. They run outside. They play in the garden again. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are playing catch with a ball in the park. They like to pass the ball to each other and see how far they can throw. Sometimes they miss and the ball rolls away, but they run after it and laugh. + +One day, they see a big post in the park. It is tall and has a sign on it. The sign says "Lucky Draw". Sara and Ben are curious. They go closer and see a box with a hole on top. There are many papers inside the box. + +"What is this?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a game," Ben says. + +They see a man standing next to the post. He is wearing a hat and a badge. He smiles at them and says, "Hello, kids. Do you want to play the lucky draw? It is very easy and fun. You just have to pick a paper from the box and see what you win. You can win a toy, a book, a candy, or a surprise." + +Sara and Ben are excited. They love toys, books, candies, and surprises. They nod and say, "Yes, please. We want to play." + +The man gives them each a paper. Sara and Ben open their papers and look at them. Sara has a picture of a teddy bear. Ben has a picture of a car. They are very happy. They show their papers to the man and he gives them their prizes. + +"Wow, you are very lucky, kids. You got the best prizes. Congratulations," the man says. + +"Thank you, mister. We like our prizes very much," Sara and Ben say. + +They hug their prizes and run back to their ball. They pass the ball to each other and play some more. They think the lucky draw was a fun game. They are glad they saw the post in the park. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has many pastries. The pastries smell good. Tom and Lily want to eat the pastries. + +"Look, Lily, pastries!" Tom says. "Let's catch some!" + +"How?" Lily asks. + +"Watch me!" Tom says. He runs to the truck. He jumps on the back. He grabs a pastry. He jumps off. He runs to Lily. + +"Here, Lily, a pastry for you!" Tom says. He gives Lily the pastry. + +"Thank you, Tom!" Lily says. She bites the pastry. It is sweet and soft. + +"Yum!" Lily says. + +The truck driver sees Tom and Lily. He is angry. He gets out of the truck. He runs to Tom and Lily. + +"Hey, you kids, stop!" the truck driver says. "You can't take my pastries!" + +Tom and Lily are scared. They drop the pastries. They run away. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Tom says. + +The truck driver is strong. He is fast. He catches Tom and Lily. He holds them. + +"Got you!" the truck driver says. "You are bad kids! You have to pay for the pastries!" + +Tom and Lily are sorry. They cry. + +"Please, mister, don't be mad!" Tom says. "We are sorry! We just wanted to try the pastries!" + +"Yeah, please, mister, don't be mad!" Lily says. "We didn't mean to be bad!" + +The truck driver looks at Tom and Lily. He sees their tears. He feels sorry for them. + +"Okay, okay, calm down!" the truck driver says. "I won't be mad. But you have to promise me something." + +"What?" Tom and Lily ask. + +"You have to promise me that you will never take pastries from a truck again. And you have to say sorry to me. And you have to give me a hug." the truck driver says. + +"Okay, we promise!" Tom and Lily say. + +They say sorry to the truck driver. They give him a hug. The truck driver smiles. + +"Good kids!" the truck driver says. "Now, do you want a pastry?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily say. + +The truck driver gives them each a pastry. They thank him. They eat the pastries. They are happy. + +The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to eat toast with butter for breakfast. But there is only one piece of toast left in the kitchen. Sara and Ben both want it. + +"I saw it first!" Sara says. She grabs the toast and runs to the table. + +"No, I did!" Ben says. He runs after her and tries to take the toast from her. + +"Stop it!" Sara says. She covers the toast with her hands. "It's mine!" + +"Let go!" Ben says. He pulls the toast from her hands. "It's mine!" + +They tug and pull and tear the toast in half. Butter flies everywhere. They look at the mess. They are not happy. + +"Mama!" they both cry. + +Mama comes to the kitchen. She sees the toast and the butter on the floor, on the table, on the twins. She is not happy. + +"What did you do?" she asks. "This was the last piece of toast. And this butter was not cheap. It was a gift from Grandma. You wasted it!" + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They look at each other. They look at Mama. + +"We're sorry, Mama," they say. "We were hungry. And we both wanted the toast." + +Mama sighs. She hugs them. + +"I know, my loves," she says. "But you have to share. And you have to be careful. Next time, ask me before you take something. Maybe I can make more toast. Or give you something else." + +Sara and Ben nod. They say sorry again. They help Mama clean the kitchen. They learn their lesson. +Mia and Leo are playing in the garden. They see a big hole in the ground. They wonder what is inside. + +"Maybe it is a mole," Mia says. "Moles live in holes." + +"Let's open the hole and see," Leo says. He picks up a stick and digs around the hole. + +Suddenly, a small brown animal pops out of the hole. It has a long nose and tiny eyes. It is a mole! + +"Hello, mole!" Mia and Leo say. They are not scared. They think the mole is cute. + +"Hello, children!" the mole says. "What are you doing here?" + +"We are playing," Mia says. "We wanted to see you." + +"Well, you are very brave and curious," the mole says. "But you should be careful. This is my home. I have many tunnels under the ground. You could fall in and get lost." + +"We are sorry, mole," Leo says. "We did not mean to bother you. We will leave your home alone." + +"Thank you, children," the mole says. "You are very polite and kind. Do you want to see something?" + +"Yes, please!" Mia and Leo say. + +"Follow me," the mole says. He goes back into the hole and comes out with a shiny stone. "This is my treasure. I found it in the dark. It makes me happy. Do you like it?" + +"It is very pretty, mole," Mia and Leo say. They touch the stone gently. + +"You can have it, children," the mole says. "It is a gift for you. You are my new friends." + +"Thank you, mole!" Mia and Leo say. They hug the mole and put the stone in their pocket. + +"Goodbye, mole!" they say. "We will come back and visit you soon." + +"Goodbye, children!" the mole says. "I will be ready for you." He waves his nose and goes back into his hole. + +Mia and Leo run back to their house. They are very happy. They have a new friend and a new treasure. They show their mom and dad the stone and tell them the story of the mole. Mom and dad smile and hug them. They are proud of their children. They are brave, curious, polite, kind, and friendly. They are the best children in the world. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw some big clouds in the sky, but they did not care. They wanted to have fun. + +But then, it started to rain. The rain was very hard and loud. It made Ben and Lily wet and cold. They did not like the rain. They wanted to go home. They ran to their mom and asked her to take them home. + +Mom said, "OK, let's go. We need to escape from the rain. It is too scary." She took Ben and Lily by the hand and walked to the car. But the car was far away. They had to cross the street and the bridge. The street was full of cars and the bridge was high and shaky. Ben and Lily were scared of the cars and the bridge. They held their mom's hand very tight. + +They crossed the street and the bridge. They reached the car. Mom opened the door and put Ben and Lily inside. She closed the door and started the car. The rain was still hard and loud, but they felt safe in the car. They hugged their mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You saved us from the rain. You are the best mom ever." + +Mom smiled and said, "You are welcome, my loves. I am glad we escaped from the rain. It was scary, but we made it. Now, let's go home and have some hot chocolate and cookies. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. That sounds great." They were happy and warm in the car. They did not mind the rain anymore. They knew they had their mom with them. They loved their mom very much. +Lily was a princess who loved to jump. She jumped on her bed, on the sofa, on the grass and on the trampoline. She wore a shiny crown on her head that sparkled in the sun. She felt happy and free when she jumped. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. She looked down and saw a lot of kids waiting for their turn. She smiled and waved at them. Then she jumped off the slide and landed on the ground. + +But when she got up, she noticed that her crown was gone. She looked around and saw it on the slide. It had fallen off when she jumped. She felt sad and ran to get it. But before she could reach it, a little boy grabbed it and put it on his head. He laughed and said, "This is my crown now!" + +Lily was angry and shouted, "No, that's my crown! Give it back!" She tried to take it from him, but he was too fast. He ran away with the crown, dodging the other kids. Lily chased him, but she could not catch him. She felt like crying. + +Then she saw a little girl who was watching the whole thing. She had long brown hair and big blue eyes. She was wearing a pink dress and holding a teddy bear. She looked adorable. She walked up to Lily and said, "Hi, I'm Anna. I saw what happened. That was not nice of him. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. I'm sorry for yelling. I really like my crown. It was a gift from my grandma. She said it makes me look like a real princess." + +Anna said, "You don't need a crown to be a real princess. You are a real princess because you are kind and brave and fun. And you can jump really high. I like jumping too. Do you want to jump with me?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. Thank you for being so nice to me. You are a real princess too. And you are adorable." + +They hugged and ran to the trampoline. They jumped and laughed and played together. They forgot about the crown and the boy. They were happy and free. They were best friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the sunshine. One day, they see a new girl in the park. She has a colorful dress and a big smile. + +"Hello, what is your name?" Lily asks the new girl. + +"My name is Anna. I just moved here with my family. Can I play with you?" Anna says. + +"Sure, you can play with us. We are making a sandcastle. This is Ben, he is my friend. Ben, this is Anna, she is new here. We can introduce her to our toys." Lily says. + +"Hi, Anna. I like your dress. It is very colorful. Do you like cars? I have a red car and a blue car. You can use one of them." Ben says. + +"Thank you, Ben. I like cars too. I have a yellow car and a green car. They are in my backpack. We can share them." Anna says. + +Lily, Ben and Anna become friends. They play with their cars and their sandcastle. They have fun in the sunshine. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and white. It has a long tail and a loud bark. + +"Look, a dog!" Tom says. He runs to the dog. He wants to pet it. + +"Wait, Tom!" Mia says. She is scared of the dog. She thinks the dog might bite. She follows Tom. + +Tom reaches the dog. He smiles. He puts his hand on the dog's head. The dog wags its tail. It likes Tom. + +"Hi, dog!" Tom says. He pokes the dog's nose. The dog sniffs Tom's hand. + +Mia watches from far away. She does not want to poke the dog. She thinks the dog might snap. She stays behind a tree. + +"Come, Mia!" Tom says. He waves to Mia. He wants Mia to play with the dog. + +"No, Tom!" Mia says. She shakes her head. She does not want to play with the dog. + +"Please, Mia!" Tom says. He makes a promise. He says, "The dog is nice. It will not hurt you. I will be with you. I will not let go of your hand." + +Mia thinks for a moment. She trusts Tom. He is her friend. He keeps his promises. She takes a deep breath. She walks to Tom. + +Tom holds Mia's hand. He smiles. He says, "See, Mia? The dog is friendly. It likes you."
