They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their cars on the floor. They liked to make them speed and crash and honk. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They had fun together. + +But then Ben saw a big yellow car on the table. It was shiny and new. He wanted it very much. He ran to the table and grabbed the yellow car. He said, "This is mine now!" + +Lily was sad and angry. She said, "No, that is not yours! That is Mommy's car. She got it for her birthday. You are selfish, Ben. You have to share!" + +Ben did not listen. He said, "I don't care. I like this car better. It is faster and louder. You can keep your old car." He made the yellow car speed on the table and made loud noises. + +Lily cried and ran to Mommy. She told her what Ben did. Mommy was not happy. She said, "Ben, that is not nice. You have to give back the yellow car to me. It is not a toy. It is a decoration. You can hurt it or break it. And you hurt Lily's feelings. You have to say sorry and play nicely with her." + +Ben felt bad. He knew he was wrong. He gave back the yellow car to Mommy and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Lily. I was selfish. Can we play together again?" + +Lily smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. Let's play with our cars again. We can take turns and make them speed and crash and honk." + +They went back to the floor and played with their cars. They had fun together. They were not selfish anymore. +Anna loves to hug her mommy. She hugs her every morning, every night, and sometimes in between. She likes how her mommy smells like flowers and lotion. She thinks her mommy is very clever, because she can read books, make cookies, and fix toys. + +One day, Anna wants to surprise her mommy with a hug. She sneaks into her mommy's room, where she sees a bottle of lotion on the dresser. She thinks, maybe if I put some lotion on me, I will smell like mommy too. She opens the bottle and squeezes some lotion on her hands. Then she rubs it all over her face, her hair, and her clothes. + +She feels very sticky and slippery, but she is happy. She runs to find her mommy, who is in the kitchen. She shouts, "Mommy, mommy, I have a hug for you!" She jumps on her mommy and wraps her arms around her. + +Her mommy is very surprised. She feels the wet lotion on Anna's face and clothes. She sees the mess on Anna's hair. She says, "Oh, Anna, what did you do? You are all covered in lotion!" + +Anna smiles and says, "I wanted to smell like you, mommy. I wanted to give you a hug. Do you like it?" + +Her mommy laughs and hugs her back. She says, "I love you, Anna. You are very sweet and clever. But next time, please ask me before you use my lotion. It is not good for your hair and clothes. Come on, let's go wash you up." She takes Anna to the bathroom and helps her clean up. Then she gives her another hug and a kiss. Anna feels happy and loved. She thinks her mommy is the best. +Tom and Sue like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads with strips of paper and tape. They drive their cars on the roads and make noises. + +One day, they find a big car in the garage. It is black and shiny. It has four doors and a trunk. Tom says, "Let's play with this car. It is bigger and better than our cars." + +Sue says, "No, we can't. This is Dad's car. He will be mad if we touch it. And we don't know how to drive it." + +Tom says, "I do know how to drive it. I saw Dad do it. You just turn this key and push this pedal. Come on, it will be fun." + +He gets in the car and puts the key in the ignition. He turns the key and the car makes a loud sound. He pushes the pedal and the car moves forward. He is happy and excited. He says, "Look, Sue, I am driving!" + +Sue is scared and worried. She says, "Stop, Tom, stop! You are going too fast. You will crash!" + +But Tom does not listen. He drives the car out of the garage and onto the street. He does not see the other cars and the people. He does not see the red light and the stop sign. He does not see the big truck that is coming from the other side. + +The truck hits the car with a loud bang. The car spins and flips and lands on its roof. The windows break and the tires pop. The car is dead. Tom and Sue are hurt and bleeding. They cry and scream. + +Dad hears the noise and runs outside. He sees the car and the truck and the mess. He sees Tom and Sue in the car. He is shocked and angry and sad. He calls for help and tries to get them out. He says, "What have you done? Why did you drive my car? You could have been killed!" +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. They saw a big car with a shiny lock on the door. + +"Let's unlock the car and see what's inside," Ben said. He had a toy key in his hand. + +"No, Ben, that's not our car. That's Mom's car. We can't touch it," Lily said. She was patient and smart. + +"But I want to unlock it. Maybe there are snacks or toys inside," Ben said. He did not listen to Lily. He tried to put the toy key in the lock. + +The lock did not open. The toy key got stuck. Ben pulled and pulled, but it did not come out. He started to cry. + +Lily ran to get Mom. Mom came and saw the toy key in the lock. She was not happy. + +"Ben, what did you do? You broke the lock. Now I can't open the car. How will I go to the store and buy a new tire? The old one is flat," Mom said. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to unlock the car and see what's inside," Ben said. He was sad and sorry. + +Mom sighed. She took Ben and Lily inside. She called Dad and asked him to come and fix the lock and the tire. She gave Ben and Lily some juice and cookies. She told them not to touch the car again. + +"Next time, listen to your sister. She is patient and smart. She knows what's right and wrong," Mom said. + +Ben nodded. He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are patient and smart. You are a good spy. Can we play something else?" + +Lily smiled. She hugged Ben and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. You are a good spy too. Let's play something else." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play outside in the sunshine. One day, they find a big pile of leaves. They jump and run in the leaves. They have fun. + +But then, Tom smells something smelly. He says, "Lily, what is that smelly thing?" Lily says, "I don't know. Let's look." They dig in the leaves. They find a rotten apple. It is brown and soft and smelly. + +Tom says, "Ew, that is a bad apple. It makes the leaves smelly. Let's throw it away." Lily says, "No, wait. I have an idea. Let's show it to Sam." Sam is their dog. He likes to eat apples. + +They take the rotten apple and run to Sam. He is sleeping in his house. They say, "Sam, Sam, wake up. We have something for you." Sam opens his eyes and sees the rotten apple. He sniffs it. He makes a funny face. He does not like the smelly apple. He barks and runs away. + +Tom and Lily laugh. They say, "Sam does not like the smelly apple. He likes fresh apples. We like fresh apples too. Let's go and find some." They leave the rotten apple and go to the apple tree. They pick some red and juicy apples. They eat them in the sunshine. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They have a big red kite that can fly high in the sky. They take turns to hold the string and run with the kite. + +"Look, Anna, the kite is flying like a bird!" Ben says. + +"It is amazing, Ben, I love the kite!" Anna says. + +But then, a strong wind blows and the kite flies away from them. It goes over the trees and the fence. Anna and Ben are sad. They want their kite back. + +"Let's go and find it, Anna, maybe it is not far!" Ben says. + +They run after the kite, but they cannot see it. They come to a big road with many cars. They stop and wait for the green light. + +"Where is our kite, Ben, do you think we can get it?" Anna says. + +"I don't know, Anna, maybe someone else has it now," Ben says. + +They feel very sad. They cross the road and keep looking for the kite. They see a big building with many windows. They see something red on the roof. It is their kite! + +"Look, Anna, there is our kite, it is on the roof!" Ben says. + +"How can we get it, Ben, the roof is too high!" Anna says. + +They see a man coming out of the building. He has a ladder and a shield. He is a firefighter. He sees the kite and the children. + +"Hello, kids, are you looking for this kite?" he says. + +"Yes, sir, it is our kite, can you help us?" Ben says. + +"Sure, I can help you, I have a ladder and a shield. The shield is to protect me from the fire, but I can use it to catch the kite," he says. + +He puts the ladder against the wall and climbs up. He uses the shield to reach the kite and bring it down. He gives the kite to Anna and Ben. + +"Here you go, kids, your kite is safe and sound. Be careful with the wind next time," he says. + +"Thank you, sir, you are amazing, you are a hero!" Anna and Ben say. + +They hug the firefighter and their kite. They are very happy. They go back to the park and fly their kite again. They have a lot of fun. +Lila and her mom were going to the park. They got in the car and drove on the road. But there were many cars on the road. They had to stop and wait. This was traffic. + +Lila did not like traffic. She was bored and angry. She said, "Mom, I want to go to the park now!" + +Mom said, "I know, honey, but we have to be patient. Traffic will move soon. Look, there is a charming dog in the car next to us. He is wagging his tail and smiling. Do you see him?" + +Lila looked and saw the dog. He was brown and fluffy. He looked happy and friendly. Lila smiled too. She said, "Hi, doggy! You are cute!" + +The dog heard Lila and barked. He wanted to say hi back. He jumped on the window and licked it. He made Lila laugh. He also made his owner laugh. He was a silly dog. + +The traffic started to move. Lila and mom waved goodbye to the dog and his owner. They drove to the park. Lila was excited. She said, "Mom, can we play with the dog at the park?" + +Mom said, "Maybe, if we see him again. But there are many other things to do at the park. We can swing, slide, run, and shake the trees. Do you want to shake the trees?" + +Lila nodded. She liked to shake the trees and make the leaves fall. She said, "Yes, mom, let's shake the trees!" + +They got to the park and had fun. They shook the trees and played with the leaves. They also saw the dog again. He ran to them and wagged his tail. He wanted to play too. They threw a ball for him and he fetched it. He was a charming dog. Lila and mom made a new friend. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to draw. They had many colors of ink to make pictures with. They drew on paper, on the wall, on the floor, and sometimes on each other. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a lot of mess. + +One day, their mom said, "Tom and Lily, you have to clean up your room. It is too dirty. Put away your ink and your paper, and wash your hands and faces. Then you can have a snack." + +Tom and Lily did not want to stop drawing. They said, "But mom, we are making great pictures. We want to show you. Please, can we draw a little more?" + +Mom said, "No, you have to clean up now. I will come back in five minutes and check on you. If you are not done, you will have no snack and no TV." + +Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They did not listen to mom. They decided to draw one more picture, a big one, on the door. They used all the colors of ink they had. They made a rainbow, a sun, a flower, and a smiley face. They thought it was the best picture ever. + +But they did not close the ink bottles well. The ink started to drip and spill on the floor. It made a big puddle of colors. Tom and Lily did not notice. They were too busy drawing. + +Mom came back in five minutes. She saw the door and the floor. She was very mad. She said, "Tom and Lily, what have you done? This is a big mess. You did not clean up. You did not listen. You wasted all the ink. You ruined the door and the floor. You are in big trouble." + +Tom and Lily were scared. They saw the ink puddle. They knew they had made a mistake. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to make a great picture for you. We did not mean to make a mess. Please, do not be mad." + +Mom said, "I am very disappointed in you. You have to clean up this mess right now. You will have no snack and no TV today. And you will have no ink for a week. Maybe then you will learn to listen and be careful." + +Tom and Lily cried. They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had closed the ink bottles well. They learned a hard lesson. They never drew on the door or the floor again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and swing. They saw a big oak tree. It had many leaves and branches. It looked mighty. + +"Let's go and climb the oak tree!" said Tom. He was brave and curious. + +"OK, but be careful!" said Lily. She was cautious and kind. + +They ran to the oak tree and started to climb. They held on to the branches and moved up. They felt happy and proud. + +But then they heard a loud roar. It came from the oak tree. It sounded angry and scary. + +"Who is there?" said Tom. He tried to sound brave, but he was scared. + +"I am the oak tree!" said the roar. "This is my home. You are not welcome here. Go away or I will shake you off!" + +Tom and Lily were very scared. They did not want to be shaken off. They quickly climbed down the oak tree and ran away. + +"Sorry, oak tree!" they said. "We did not mean to bother you. We will not climb you again." + +They ran back to the swings and played there. They did not look at the oak tree anymore. They learned to respect the mighty oak. +Lily was in the kitchen with Mom. Mom was making soup for dinner. Lily wanted to help. Mom gave Lily a big spoon and said, "You can stir the soup, but be careful. It is hot." + +Lily was happy. She stirred the soup slowly and gently. She liked the smell of the soup. She saw carrots, potatoes, and chicken in the soup. She wondered if the soup was yummy. + +Suddenly, Lily heard a buzz in her ear. She turned her head and saw a mosquito. The mosquito was gray and had long legs. Lily did not like mosquitoes. They made her itch. She tried to shoo the mosquito away, but it did not go. + +The mosquito flew closer to Lily's face. Lily was scared. She waved her spoon in the air, but she forgot about the soup. The soup splashed out of the pot and onto the floor. Lily and Mom gasped. + +Mom was not angry. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, honey. It was an accident. We can clean up the mess. But first, let's get rid of that mosquito." Mom grabbed a fly swatter and chased the mosquito. Lily followed Mom and cheered. They caught the mosquito and threw it in the trash. + +Lily and Mom smiled. They wiped the floor and the stove. They filled the pot with more water and soup. They stirred the soup together. They were a good team. They hoped Dad and Ben would like the soup. They were hungry and ready for dinner. +Lily was a unique girl. She liked to wear hats of different colors and shapes. She had a hat for every day of the week. On Monday, she wore a red hat with a flower. On Tuesday, she wore a blue hat with a star. On Wednesday, she wore a yellow hat with a feather. And so on. + +But her family did not like her hats. They said they were too big, too bright, or too silly. They wanted her to wear normal hats, like a cap or a beret. They said she would look nicer and fit in better. + +One day, Lily's family went to the park for a picnic. They all wore normal hats, except for Lily. She wore a purple hat with a dinosaur. Her family was not happy. They asked her to change her hat. + +"No, thank you," Lily said. "I like my hat. It is fun and unique, like me." + +"But you look different from everyone else," her family said. "Don't you want to be like us?" + +Lily shook her head. "I love you, but I don't want to be like you. I want to be myself. I insist on wearing my hat." + +Her family sighed. They did not understand Lily, but they loved her anyway. They decided to let her wear her hat, as long as she was happy. They hugged her and smiled. + +They had a nice picnic in the park. Lily shared her hat with her family. They tried it on and laughed. They realized that Lily's hat was not so bad after all. It was unique, like her. And they were proud of her. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But they are also very careless. They leave their toys all over the floor and do not put them away. + +"Anna, Ben, it's time for lunch!" their mom calls from the kitchen. "Come and wash your hands!" + +Anna and Ben run to the kitchen, leaving the living room in a mess. They do not close the door behind them. They are hungry and want to eat. + +But they do not know that their dog, Spot, is watching them. Spot is curious and likes to play with toys. He sees the open door and sneaks into the living room. He sees all the toys on the floor and thinks they are for him. He starts to chew on them and toss them around. He makes a bigger mess than Anna and Ben. + +After lunch, Anna and Ben go back to the living room. They want to play some more. But they are shocked when they see what Spot has done. Their toys are broken and dirty. Some of them are missing. + +"Spot, bad dog!" Anna cries. "You ruined our toys!" + +"Mom, look what Spot did!" Ben shouts. "He was very naughty!" + +Their mom comes to the living room and sees the disaster. She is angry and sad. + +"Anna, Ben, why did you leave the door open?" she asks. "You know Spot likes to play with toys. You should have been more careful. Now your toys are gone. How do you feel?" + +Anna and Ben feel sorry and ashamed. They love their toys and they love Spot. They did not mean to be careless. They hug their mom and apologize. + +"We are sorry, mom," they say. "We feel bad. We will be more careful next time. We will put away our toys and close the door. Can we still play with Spot?" + +Their mom sighs and smiles. She loves Anna and Ben and she loves Spot. She knows they are still learning. + +"Yes, you can still play with Spot," she says. "But first, you have to help me clean up this mess. And then, you have to find some new toys for Spot. He needs his own toys to play with. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod and agree. They help their mom clean up the living room. They find some old socks and balls and make some new toys for Spot. They give them to Spot and play with him. They are more careful and close the door. They have fun and learn a lesson. +Tim and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. But they saw a big puddle of mud near the fence. They wanted to see what it was like. + +"Let's go to the mud!" Tim said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be dirty and wet," Sam said. + +They ran to the mud and touched it with their fingers. It was soft and sticky and cold. They laughed and made shapes with the mud. They put mud on their faces and arms and legs. + +"Look at me! I'm a mud monster!" Tim said. + +"Me too! Roar!" Sam said. + +They pretended to chase each other and scare the birds. They had fun with the mud. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It was barking and running towards them. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It was scary. + +"Help! A dog!" Tim said. + +"Run! Run!" Sam said. + +They dropped the mud and ran away from the dog. They ran to the fence and climbed over it. They were safe on the other side. But they were covered in mud and scared. + +"Are you OK?" Tim asked. + +"Yes, I'm OK. But that was a scary dog. It wanted to bite us," Sam said. + +"I know. It was very mean. Let's go home and wash the mud off," Tim said. + +They held hands and walked home. They told their mom what happened. She hugged them and gave them a bath. She was not angry. She was glad they were OK. + +The end. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big red truck. The truck can make loud noises and move fast. + +One day, the truck stops working. Tom and Sam are sad. They try to fix the truck, but they do not know how. They look inside the truck and see something black and sticky. It is oil. The oil is leaking from the truck. The truck needs more oil to work. + +Tom and Sam run to the kitchen. They see a bottle of oil on the shelf. They think it is the same oil as the truck. They grab the bottle and run back to the truck. They pour the oil into the truck. They hope the truck will work again. + +But the truck does not work. It makes a weird noise and smoke comes out of it. The oil they used was not the right oil. It was cooking oil. Cooking oil is for food, not for trucks. Tom and Sam made a big mistake. They ruined their favorite toy. + +Mom and Dad come home and see the mess. They are angry and disappointed. They scold Tom and Sam for being careless and wasteful. They tell them they have to clean up the oil and the smoke. They also tell them they have to buy a new truck with their own money. Tom and Sam are sorry and ashamed. They learn a hard lesson. They learn to be careful and respectful with their things. They learn to ask for help when they do not know something. They learn to use the right things for the right purposes. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They like to slide on the big slide. They go up the steps and down the slide. Whee! + +One day, they find a shiny penny on the ground. Sara picks it up and shows it to Ben. "Look, Ben, a penny!" she says. "Can we buy something with it?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, Sara, a penny is not enough. We need more pennies to buy something. Maybe we can save it for later." + +Sara nods. She puts the penny in her pocket. She and Ben go back to the slide. They slide again and again. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a big dog. It is barking and running towards them. Sara and Ben are scared. They run away from the slide. They hide behind a bench. They are very quiet. + +The dog stops at the slide. It sniffs around. It sees the penny on the ground. It picks it up with its mouth. It runs away with the penny. + +Sara and Ben peek from behind the bench. They see the dog and the penny. They are sad. They lost their penny. + +"Bye, penny," Sara says. + +"Bye, penny," Ben says. + +They hug each other. They are still scared of the dog. They decide to go home. They hope to find another penny someday. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the farm. They liked to see the cows, the pigs, the sheep and the chickens. One day, they saw a big chicken with white feathers and a red comb. They wanted to touch it and play with it. + +"Can we ask the farmer if we can play with the chicken?" Ben said. + +"OK, let's go ask him," Lily said. + +They ran to the farmer, who was busy with his tractor. They waited until he saw them and smiled. + +"Hello, Ben and Lily. What do you want to ask me?" the farmer said. + +"Can we play with the big white chicken, please?" Ben and Lily said together. + +The farmer looked at the chicken and frowned. He shook his head. + +"No, you can't play with that chicken. That chicken is not a nice chicken. That chicken is a rooster. He is very loud and mean. He can peck you and hurt you. You should stay away from him," the farmer said. + +Ben and Lily felt sad. They really wanted to play with the chicken. They thought he looked soft and pretty. They did not believe the farmer. They thought he was lying. + +"Let's go play with the chicken anyway. The farmer is busy. He won't see us," Ben whispered to Lily. + +"OK, let's go. But be careful," Lily whispered back. + +They sneaked away from the farmer and went to the chicken coop. They saw the big white chicken sitting on a nest. He looked sleepy. Ben and Lily smiled. They thought he was cute. + +They reached out their hands to touch him. But as soon as they did, the chicken woke up. He saw them and got angry. He opened his beak and crowed loudly. He flapped his wings and jumped at them. He pecked them and scratched them with his claws. + +Ben and Lily screamed. They felt pain and fear. They ran away from the chicken. They cried and called for the farmer. + +The farmer heard them and came to help them. He saw their wounds and blood. He scolded them and took them to the house. He cleaned their wounds and put bandages on them. He told them they were very naughty and foolish. He told them they should have listened to him and stayed away from the chicken. He told them they could not play in the farm anymore. He told them they had to go home and stay in their room. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not played with the chicken. They wished they had obeyed the farmer. They learned their lesson. They never played with the chicken again. +Anna and Ben are friends.

They go to the kitchen and find some bread, cheese, fruit and juice. They put them on a big tray. They want to take the tray to their mom's room and say "Happy birthday!" + +But the tray is heavy and hard to carry. Anna and Ben try to lift it, but they almost drop it. They need help. They see Spot lying on the floor. They have an idea. + +"Spot, come here!" Anna calls. "We need you to lead us to mom's room. Can you do that?" + +Spot wags his tail and barks. He likes to help. He gets up and walks to the door. Anna and Ben follow him with the tray. They are careful not to spill anything. + +Spot leads them to mom's room. He scratches the door with his paw. Mom opens the door and sees Anna, Ben and Spot with the tray. + +"Wow, what a wonderful surprise!" Mom says. "Thank you, my sweeties! And thank you, Spot, for leading them here.

They are not fit for the seesaw. + +Lily says, "Let's swap places. Maybe it will work." Tom says, "OK." They get up and walk to the other end. They sit down again. But the seesaw does not move. Tom is still too heavy. Lily is still too light. They are still not fit for the seesaw. + +Tom says, "This is no fun. What can we do?" Lily thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She says, "I know. Let's suggest to the other kids to join us. Maybe we can find someone who has the same weight as us. Then we can balance the seesaw and make it go up and down." + +Tom likes the idea. He says, "Good idea. Let's go and ask them." They get up and run to the other kids. They ask them if they want to play on the seesaw. Some of them say yes. They go to the seesaw and try to find the right partners. They take turns to sit on the ends. They make the seesaw move. They have fun. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They have found a way to play on the seesaw. They have made new friends. They have learned a new word: suggest. They say, "Thank you, seesaw. You are fun." +Tom and Lily are best friends. They like to play together every day. They have a big box of toys in their room. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a shiny car with four wheels and a horn. Tom and Lily both want to play with the car. They each grab one end of the car and pull.

He asked his mom if they could go after breakfast. + +"Maybe, Tom. But first you have to eat your toast and drink your milk. And then you have to brush your teeth and put on your shoes and coat. It is cold outside today." Mom said. + +Tom nodded and ate his toast and drank his milk. He brushed his teeth and put on his shoes and coat. He grabbed his hat and mittens and ran to the door. + +"Mom, I'm ready. Can we go now?" He said. + +Mom smiled and took her keys and purse. She opened the door and followed Tom outside. + +"Yes, we can go now. But be careful, Tom. The ground is wet and slippery. It rained last night." She said. + +Tom and mom walked to the park. It was a bright morning. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. The rain had made the grass and the flowers and the trees look fresh and green. Tom saw some birds and squirrels and a dog. He waved at them and said hello. + +Tom and mom reached the park. Tom ran to the swings and asked mom to push him. He felt the wind in his face and the joy in his heart.

Sara can swim very well. Ben is learning to swim. He is a little scared of the water. + +One day, they go to the pool with their moms. Sara jumps in the water and swims to the other side. Ben watches her and wants to try. He puts on his regular swim hat and goggles. He holds his mom's hand and walks to the edge of the pool. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" his mom asks. + +"Yes, mom. I want to swim like Sara," Ben says. + +"Okay, Ben. You can do it. I will hold you and help you. Just kick your legs and move your arms," his mom says. + +Ben nods and lets go of his mom's hand. He holds his breath and jumps in the water. His mom holds him under his arms and guides him. Ben feels the water on his face and body. He kicks his legs and moves his arms. He swims a little bit. + +"Good job, Ben! You are swimming!" his mom says. + +Ben smiles and opens his eyes. He sees Sara waving at him from the other side. He waves back and swims some more. He is not scared of the water anymore. He likes to swim. He is happy. +Tom and Lily were two little ducks who lived by a big river. They liked to swim and play with their friends, but they also liked to eat a lot of bread and seeds. One day, they saw a man with a big bag of bread on the other side of the river. He was throwing some bread to the ducks there. + +"Look, Lily, he has so much bread! Let's go and get some!" Tom said. + +"But how can we go there? There is a bridge, but it is very high and scary. And we don't know the ducks there. They might be mean to us," Lily said. + +"Don't be silly, Lily. The bridge is not scary. It is fun. And the ducks there will share their bread with us. Come on, follow me!" Tom said. + +Tom swam to the bridge and climbed up the steps. He was not afraid of the cars and the noise. He only wanted the bread. Lily was scared, but she did not want to be alone. She followed Tom to the bridge. + +When they reached the other side, they saw the man and the bread. But they also saw many ducks who were bigger and stronger than them. The ducks did not like Tom and Lily. They quacked and pecked at them. They did not share their bread with them. + +"Go away, you greedy ducks! This is our bread! You have your own river!" the ducks said. + +Tom and Lily were very sad and hurt. They wished they had stayed on their side of the river. They had enough bread and seeds there. And they had their friends who were kind and nice to them. + +They ran back to the bridge and crossed it again. They swam to their home and hugged their friends. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that it is not good to be greedy and follow strangers. They learned that it is better to be happy and grateful with what they have. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, they want to buy a new toy. They have some money in their piggy banks. + +They walk to the toy shop on the street. They see many toys in the window.

Tom said. + +"No, dad said it is hot and we can get hurt," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He pulled the lid and saw some coals that were still red and warm. He reached out his hand to touch them. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. He pulled back his hand and saw a burn. It hurt a lot. He started to tremble and cry. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was scared too. She called for their mom. + +Mom came and saw what happened. She took Tom inside and put some cream on his burn. She gave him a hug and a kiss. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Tom said. "I was curious and did not listen to Lily." + +Mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm glad you are not badly hurt. But you have to be careful and listen to your sister. She knows what is safe and what is not. The grill is not a toy. It is for making food. And only grown-ups can use it." + +Tom nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I will listen to Lily next time. And I will say sorry to dad too." + +Mom said, "That's good, Tom. Now you are sleepy. Go to bed and rest. Tomorrow you will feel better." + +Tom and Lily went to bed. They hugged each other and said good night. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and to listen to each other. And they learned that the grill is not a toy. +Lily was very happy. It was her birthday. She had a big cake with four candles. She had many friends to play with. She had a fat balloon that was pink and shiny. + +She also had a big box with a bow. It was a present from her grandma. Lily loved her grandma very much. She wanted to see what was inside the box. She asked her mom if she could open it. + +"Not yet, sweetie," her mom said.

Give me your ball and go away." + +Tim and Sam are scared. They do not want to give their ball. They say, "No, this is our ball. We want to play soccer. You can play with us if you are nice." + +The big boy is not nice. He kicks their ball hard. It flies over the fence and into the pond. The pond is deep and dirty. Tim and Sam cannot get their ball back. + +Tim and Sam are sad and angry. They say, "You are a bad boy. You broke our game. You owe us a new ball." + +The big boy laughs and runs away. He does not care. He does not say sorry. + +Tim and Sam hope to find a new ball. They hope to play soccer again. They hope to meet a good boy who will be their friend. +Lily and Sam like to play in the park. They see a big sign with a picture of a crocodile. The sign says "Do not go near the water. Crocodiles live here." + +Lily says, "I want to see the crocodiles. They are big and scary and have many teeth." + +Sam says, "No, Lily. The sign says we cannot go near the water. The crocodiles can bite us. We have to stay away." + +But Lily does not listen to Sam. She runs to the water and looks for the crocodiles. She sees something moving in the water. It is a purple crocodile. Lily thinks it is funny and pretty. She says, "Hello, purple crocodile. Do you want to play with me?" + +The purple crocodile hears Lily and comes out of the water. It opens its mouth and shows its teeth. It says, "Yes, Lily. I want to play with you. I want to play bite-bite." + +Lily is scared. She screams and runs back to Sam. Sam hugs her and says, "Lily, you are silly. You should not talk to the crocodiles. They are not nice. They are mean and hungry. You are lucky the purple crocodile did not catch you." + +Lily says, "I am sorry, Sam. I was wrong. I will not go near the water again. I will listen to the sign and to you. The purple crocodile is not funny and pretty. It is scary and ugly." + +Sam says, "It is okay, Lily. I am glad you are safe. Let us go and play somewhere else. Somewhere far from the crocodiles." + +Lily and Sam hold hands and walk away from the water. They see a big slide and a swing. They smile and run to them. They have fun and forget about the purple crocodile. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big gray dog with a red collar. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben said. He shrugged. "Maybe we should ask the owner first." + +They looked around and saw a man sitting on a bench. He was reading a book and had a cup of coffee. He smiled at them. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like my dog?" he asked. + +"Yes, he is very cute," Lily said. + +"Can we pet him?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can. His name is Max. He is very friendly and sweet," the man said. + +Lily and Ben walked to the dog and gently touched his fur. Max licked their faces and made them giggle. + +"Thank you, mister. Your dog is very nice," Lily said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Have fun," the man said. + +Lily and Ben played with Max for a while. They threw a ball and he fetched it. They rubbed his belly and he rolled over. They had a lot of fun with the big gray dog. +Lily and Ben were adventurous twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. One day, they decided to explore the bushes behind the slide. They crawled under the branches and found a secret tunnel. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "Where do you think it goes?" + +"Let's find out!" Ben said. "Maybe it leads to a castle or a treasure!" + +They held hands and walked into the tunnel. It was dark and cold, but they were not afraid. They had a flashlight and a backpack with snacks and water. They followed the tunnel for a long time, until they saw a light at the end. + +They came out of the tunnel and saw a beautiful garden with flowers, butterflies and birds. They also saw a big house with a red roof and a blue door. They wondered who lived there. + +"Hello, who are you?" a voice said. They turned around and saw a friendly old lady with a basket of cookies. She smiled and invited them in. + +"We are Lily and Ben, we live next door," Lily said. "We found your tunnel and wanted to see where it goes." + +"You are very adventurous, I like that," the old lady said. "My name is Mrs. Rose, and I live here alone. I made this tunnel when I was young, to have a secret way to the garden. Do you want some cookies and milk?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben said. "Thank you, Mrs. Rose!" + +They followed her into the house and sat at the table. They ate the cookies and drank the milk, and told her about their play and their yard. Mrs. Rose told them stories about her life and her garden. They had a lot of fun and became friends. + +When it was time to go, Mrs. Rose gave them a hug and a bag of more cookies. She told them they could come back anytime, and use the tunnel as they liked. + +"Thank you, Mrs. Rose, you are very nice," Lily said. "We will come back soon, and maybe we can help you with the garden." + +"That would be lovely, my dears," Mrs. Rose said. "Take care and be safe." + +Lily and Ben waved goodbye and went back to the tunnel. They were happy and proud. They had managed to find a new place and a new friend. They ran back to their yard and told their mom and dad about their adventure. They couldn't wait to play in the tunnel and the garden again. +Tom and Mia went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They liked the animals, but they wanted to see something new. + +"Can we go to the water park, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, honey. It's very hot today. The water park will be fun," Mom said. + +They walked to the water park, where there were slides, pools, and fountains. Tom and Mia put on their swimsuits and ran to the water. They splashed, slid, and laughed. + +"Look, Mia! There's a big orange elephant!" Tom said, pointing to a statue. + +"Wow, it's so big and orange!" Mia said. + +They ran to the elephant, and saw a sign that said "Push the button to spray water". Tom pushed the button, and the elephant's trunk sprayed water on them. + +"Ah, it's cold!"

"You are bad. Go away!" + +"No, I won't!" Ben says. "This is my ground. You go away!" + +Tom and Anna do not want to go away. They worked hard to create their mud things. They want to play with them. They stand up to Ben. + +"No, this is our ground. We were here first. You go away!" Anna says. + +Ben is bigger than Tom and Anna. He tries to push them. But Tom and Anna stick together. They throw mud at Ben. Ben gets wet and dirty. He cries and runs away. + +Tom and Anna hug each other. They are brave and strong. They fix their mud things and create more. They have fun and laugh. +Tom and Lily were fish who lived in a big reef. They liked to swim and play with their friends. One day, they saw a big boat on the water. The boat had many boxes on it. + +"Look, Tom, maybe the boat has something for us!" Lily said. + +"Maybe, Lily, let's go and see!" Tom said. + +They swam closer to the boat. They saw a man throw a box into the water. The box had a word on it: "Deliver". + +"Wow, maybe it's a present for us!" Lily said. + +"Let's open it, Lily, maybe it has something incredible inside!" Tom said. + +They pushed the box to the reef. They used their teeth to tear the box. They saw something shiny and round inside. It looked like a ball. + +"Look, Tom, it's a ball! How fun!" Lily said. + +"Let's play with it, Lily, maybe it can bounce!" Tom said. + +They took the ball out of the box. They tried to bounce it on the sand. But the ball did not bounce. It made a loud noise. It was not a ball. It was a bomb. + +The bomb exploded. It hurt Tom and Lily and their friends. It broke the reef. It made the water dirty. It was not a present. It was a trap. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They wished they never saw the boat. They wished they never opened the box. They wished they never played with the bomb. They learned a hard lesson. They learned to be careful. They learned to not trust strangers. They learned to love their reef. But it was too late. +Ben likes to write. He has a big book and a red pen. He writes his name, his mom's name, and his dog's name. He writes big and small letters. He writes on every page. + +One day, he wants to write more. He looks for a new place to write.

Ben says. + +"No, Ben, I don't like it. You should not write on the rug. The rug is not for writing. The rug is for sitting and playing. You made the rug dirty. You have to clean it now."

He is our neighbor's dog! He likes to play! He would not hurt you!" their mom said. + +Tom and Lily looked at the dog. They felt silly. They felt embarrassed. They had mistaken a dog for a wolf.

They hugged them again. + +"It's okay, Tom. It's okay, Lily. You did not know. You were brave. You ran to us. You were safe. Next time, you can say hello to Max. He is a good dog. He likes to play.

She saw a pretty dress and a yummy ice cream. But she didn't request anything else because she knew she already had the toy. Finally, they arrived at the toy store. Lily was so happy to get her toy. She said, "Thank you, mommy!" and gave her a big hug. They walked back home slowly and happily. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside and look at the fluffy clouds in the sky. One day, she saw a big, dark cloud coming towards her. She felt scared and ran inside her house. + +When she got inside, she saw a present on the table. She was so happy and wanted to open it right away. But then she remembered how she ran away from the cloud and felt ashamed. She decided to wait until she was brave enough to open it. + +The next day, Lily went outside again and saw the same big, dark cloud. But this time, she remembered how she felt when she saw the present and decided to be brave. She opened the present and found a beautiful toy inside.

Jack loved to play with his toys, but he was missing his favorite toy, a red car. Jack looked everywhere for his red car, but he couldn't find it. + +One day, Jack went to the park to play. He saw a vendor selling toys and he saw a powerful toy car that looked just like his missing red car. Jack was so happy and he wanted to buy it, but he didn't have any money. + +Jack went home and asked his mom for some money to buy the toy car. His mom said no because they didn't have enough money. Jack was sad and went to bed. + +The next day, Jack's mom surprised him with the toy car. She had found it in the laundry basket. Jack was so happy and he realized that the red car belonged to him all along. He didn't need to buy a new one from the vendor. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play on the swing in her backyard. Every day, she would swing higher and higher, feeling the wind in her hair. + +One day, Lily noticed something strange. The ground started to shake and she felt scared. Her mommy told her it was an earthquake, but Lily didn't understand what that meant. + +The next day, Lily went outside to play on her swing again. It was an ordinary day, just like any other. But then, she remembered the earthquake and felt a little scared again. + +Suddenly, she heard a loud noise and looked up to see a big branch falling towards her. But because she had practiced swinging so much, she knew just what to do. She swung out of the way just in time and felt very proud of herself. From then on, she always remembered to be careful and stay alert when playing on her swing. +Lily and Ben like to go to the beach with Mom and Dad. They play in the sand and make castles.

He hurts his arm and leg. + +Sam hears Tim and rushes to him. He is scared and worried. He says, "Tim, are you okay? I will get Mom and Dad. They will help you." + +He runs to the house and knocks on the door. He tells Mom and Dad what happened. They come out with a first aid kit. They check Tim's arm and leg. They are not broken, but they have cuts and bruises. + +Mom says, "Tim, you are very tough. You did not cry too much. But you should be careful. The ladder is not safe. You should not climb it." + +Dad says, "I will fix the ladder. Or maybe I will get a new one. Then you can play in the tree again. But you have to promise me to never touch the bird's nest. The birds need their eggs. They are their babies." + +Tim and Sam nod. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We will not touch the bird's nest.

They take things from other people." + +Sue says, "I want to be a pirate. Pirates are fun. They have ships and treasure." + +Tom says, "No, you can't be a pirate. Pirates are not nice. They are mean and scary." + +Sue says, "Yes, I can. Watch me. I will mark the park with the pirate flag. Then it will be mine." + +Sue runs to the slide. She puts the pirate flag on top of it.

He puts the red flag on it. He says, "This is my bench. I have a castle here." + +Sue and Tom look at each other. They both want to play with the toys. But they have different flags. They do not want to share. + +They start to yell. They say, "Go away. This is mine. You can't have it." + +A lady sees them. She is their mom. She comes to them. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? You have to share. Sharing is nice. Fighting is not." + +Sue and Tom look at their mom. They feel bad. They say, "Sorry, mom. We were playing pirates and knights. But we forgot to share." + +Mom says, "It's okay. Pirates and knights can be friends. You can play together. You can take turns. You can use both flags. But remember, they are just toys. They are not real. The park is for everyone." + +Sue and Tom nod. They say, "Okay, mom. We will share. We will play together. We will use both flags." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Good. I'm glad. Now, have fun. But be careful. Don't hurt anyone. And don't mark the park with the flags. They might get lost or dirty." + +Sue and Tom say, "Okay, mom. We won't mark the park.

Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a story book," Tom says. + +They open the book and look at the pages. They see words like "apple", "ball", "cat" and "dog". They know some of the words, but not all of them. + +"Look, this is a tie," Tom says, pointing at a picture of a man wearing a tie. "My dad has a tie. He wears it when he goes to work." + +"I like ties. They are pretty," Lily says. "Can I try it on?" + +Tom tears out the page with the tie. He wraps it around Lily's neck and makes a knot. + +"There, you have a tie now," he says. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a great friend," Lily says. She smiles and hugs him. + +They keep looking at the book. They learn new words and have fun. They don't know that the book is a dictionary. They think it is a magic book that tells them many things. They are happy. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to keep her toys in a basket. She did not like to share with other kids or talk to them. She only played with her doll and her teddy bear in her room. + +One day, her mom told her that they were going to visit her aunt and her cousin. Lily did not want to go. She was afraid of meeting new people. She hugged her basket and said, "No, mom, I want to stay here with my toys." + +Mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lily, your cousin is very nice and he has a lot of toys too. Maybe you can play with him and make a new friend. You can bring your basket with you, but you have to share your toys with him, okay?" + +Lily nodded, but she was still nervous. She put on her coat and shoes and followed her mom to the car. She held her basket tightly on her lap. + +When they arrived at her aunt's house, her cousin Tom came to greet them. He was a cheerful boy who liked to run and jump and talk. He saw Lily's basket and said, "Hi, Lily, I'm Tom. What do you have in your basket? Can I see?" + +Lily felt shy and scared. She clutched her basket and said, "No, these are my toys. You can't have them." + +Tom looked sad and said, "But I just want to see them. I have a lot of toys too. Look, I have a truck and a ball and a puzzle. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, I want to play with my toys." + +Tom sighed and said, "Okay, then. Maybe later you will change your mind. I'll be in the backyard if you want to join me." + +He ran away, leaving Lily alone in the living room. Lily felt a little sorry for Tom, but she was too shy to follow him. She opened her basket and took out her doll and her teddy bear. She pretended that they were her friends and talked to them. + +But after a while, she got bored. She looked out the window and saw Tom playing with his toys. He looked happy and fun. She wondered what it would be like to play with him. She thought maybe he was not so bad after all. She thought maybe she could share her toys with him, just a little bit. + +She put her doll and her teddy bear back in her basket and closed it. She took a deep breath and stood up. She walked to the door and opened it. She saw Tom sitting on the grass with his truck and his ball and his puzzle. He looked up and saw her. He smiled and said, "Hi, Lily, do you want to play with me?" + +Lily felt shy, but she also felt brave. She smiled back and said, "Yes, Tom, I want to play with you. I have some toys too. Do you want to see?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Lily, I want to see. Come on, let's play together." + +Lily walked to him and opened her basket. She showed him her doll and her teddy bear. He showed her his truck and his ball and his puzzle. They decided to trade some toys and play with them. They had a lot of fun. They laughed and talked and became friends. + +Lily was glad that she gave Tom a chance. She realized that sharing her toys was not so bad. She realized that meeting new people was not so scary. She realized that she was not so shy after all. She was happy. +Tom and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. They found many shells of different colors and shapes. Some were big and some were small. Some were smooth and some were rough. + +"Look, Lily, I found a pretty shell!" Tom said, holding a pink and white shell in his hand. "It has stripes and spots. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, Tom, let me see!" Lily said, running to her brother. She took the shell and looked at it closely. "It is very pretty. Can I have it?" + +"No, Lily, it is mine!" Tom said, trying to get the shell back. "I found it first. You can find your own shell." + +"But I like this one!" Lily said, holding the shell tight. "It is the prettiest shell I ever saw. Please, Tom, let me have it!" + +Tom and Lily started to pull the shell from each other. They did not see that the shell was weak and cracked. They pulled harder and harder, until the shell broke in two pieces. They both fell on the sand, holding a piece of the shell. + +"Oh no!" Tom said, looking at his piece. "We broke the shell! Now it is not pretty anymore. It is ruined!" + +"Oh no!" Lily said, looking at her piece. "We broke the shell! Now it is not pretty anymore. It is ruined!" + +They both felt sad and sorry. They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry, Tom." "I'm sorry, Lily." + +They hugged and made up. They decided to share the shell and make something with it. They went to Mom and Dad and asked for some paint. They painted their pieces of the shell with different colors. They made a picture with the shell pieces on a paper. They gave the picture to Mom and Dad as a gift. + +"Wow, Tom and Lily, this is a beautiful picture!" Mom said, smiling. "You are very creative. What is it?" + +"It is a shell, Mom!" Tom said, proudly. "We found it on the beach, but we broke it. So we painted it and made a picture." + +"It is a shell, Dad!" Lily said, happily. "We found it on the beach, but we broke it. So we painted it and made a picture." + +Mom and Dad hugged Tom and Lily and thanked them for the picture. They said they loved it and they loved them. They put the picture on the wall and admired it. Tom and Lily felt happy and proud. They learned to share and to make something good out of something bad. They had fun at the beach. +Tom and Ben are two boys who like to play games. They are very competitive. They always want to win and be the best. One day, they find a sharp stick in the park. They decide to have a contest. Who can throw the stick the farthest? + +Tom goes first. He holds the stick and swings his arm. He throws the stick very hard. It flies in the air and lands far away. Tom is happy. He says, "I am the best! I threw the stick very far! You cannot beat me!" + +Ben is angry. He wants to win. He takes the stick and tries to throw it farther than Tom. He swings his arm too fast. He loses his balance. He falls down. The stick pokes his eye. He screams. He feels a lot of pain. He cries. + +Tom is scared. He runs to Ben. He sees blood on his face. He says, "I am sorry! I did not mean to hurt you! Please forgive me!" + +But Ben cannot hear him. He is too hurt. He cannot see. He is blind. He hates Tom. He hates the stick. He hates the game. He wishes he never played. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys in a big sack. They can dump the sack on the floor and find their favorite toys. Sometimes they share, sometimes they fight. + +One day, they see a new toy in the sack. It is a jar with colorful balls inside. The jar is flexible. It can bend and twist and stretch. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to play with the jar. + +"Let me have it!" Anna says. She grabs the jar and pulls it. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. He grabs the jar and pulls it too. + +They pull and pull and pull. The jar stretches and stretches and stretches. Then, it snaps! The jar breaks and the balls fly everywhere. Anna and Ben are shocked. They look at the broken jar and the scattered balls. They feel sad and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna says. She hugs her brother. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. He hugs her back. + +They pick up the balls and put them in a new jar. They put the new jar in the sack. They decide to play with another toy. They decide to be nice and take turns.

"Let's play with it!" + +"Okay!" Mia says. They run to the net and pick it up. They try to make a tent with the net. They put the net over a bench and some sticks. + +But the net is too big. It falls down and covers them. They cannot see or move. + +"Help!" Tom and Mia shout. "We are stuck!" + +A man hears them. He comes to the net. He has scissors in his hand. + +"Who is there?" the man asks. + +"It's us, Tom and Mia!" they say. "Please help us!" + +The man sees them under the net. He smiles. + +"Don't worry, I will help you," he says. He uses the scissors to cut the net. He makes a big hole and frees them. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Tom and Mia say. They hug the man. + +"You're welcome," the man says. "But why did you play with the net? It is not a toy. It is for catching fish." + +Tom and Mia look at the net. They see fish scales and hooks on it. + +"We didn't know," Tom says. "We just wanted to have fun." + +The man nods. + +"I understand," he says. "But you have to be careful. Some things are not safe to play with. You could get hurt or trapped. You have to ask before you touch something that is not yours." + +Tom and Mia feel sorry. + +"We are sorry," they say. "We will ask next time." + +The man smiles. + +"That's good," he says. "And you should also stick together. Don't go too far from each other. You are safer and happier when you have a friend." + +Tom and Mia nod. + +"We will," they say. "We are friends. We help each other." + +The man gives them the scissors. + +"Here, you can have these," he says. "You can use them to cut paper or cloth. But be careful. Don't cut yourself or anything else that is not yours." + +Tom and Mia take the scissors. + +"Thank you, thank you!" they say. They hug the man again. + +They run back to the park.

Anna says. She runs to the dog. She wants to pet it. + +"Wait, Anna!" Ben says. He is afraid of dogs. He holds his thumb. His thumb hurts. He bit it when he was nervous. + +The dog sees Anna. It wags its tail. It is happy. It likes Anna. It licks her face. Anna laughs. She pets the dog. + +"Come, Ben!" Anna says. "The dog is nice. It will not hurt you. It will excite you." + +Ben is not sure. He walks slowly to the dog. The dog sniffs him. It wags its tail again. It licks his hand. Ben feels the dog's tongue. It is wet and warm. He smiles. He pets the dog too. + +"See, Ben?" Anna says. "The dog is cute. It is our friend. Do you like it?" + +"Yes, Anna," Ben says. "I like it. It is cute. It is our friend. It excites me." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They play with the dog. They throw a ball. The dog runs and catches it. They hug the dog. The dog barks. They have fun. They forget their thumb and their fear. They love the dog. +Leo and Mia were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big lion that could roar. They liked to pretend they were in the jungle and make the lion roar at other animals. + +One day, their mom took them to the shop to buy some food. She told them to stay close to her and not to touch anything. But Leo and Mia saw a new toy in the shop. It was a dinosaur that could roar louder than the lion. They both wanted it very much. + +"Look, Mia, a dinosaur!" Leo said. "It can roar like this: RRRR!" + +"No, Leo, it can roar like this: RAAA!" Mia said. "I want it more than you!" + +They started to pull the dinosaur from each other. They were very competitive and did not want to share. They made a lot of noise and people in the shop looked at them. + +"Leo, Mia, stop that!" their mom said. "You already have a lion that can roar. You don't need another toy. Put it back and come with me." + +But Leo and Mia did not listen. They kept fighting over the dinosaur. They made it roar so loud that it scared a baby who was in a cart. The baby started to cry. + +"Leo, Mia, enough!" their mom said. "You are being very naughty and rude. You made the baby cry. You should say sorry and give the dinosaur to the baby." + +Leo and Mia felt bad. They did not mean to make the baby cry. They let go of the dinosaur and gave it to the baby. The baby stopped crying and smiled. He made the dinosaur roar softly. + +"Sorry, baby," Leo and Mia said. "Sorry, mom." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "It's okay. I know you like to play, but you have to be nice and share. You have a lot of toys at home. You don't need more. And you have each other. That's the best thing." + +Leo and Mia nodded. They agreed. They did not need the dinosaur. They had the lion and each other. They held hands and followed their mom out of the shop. They were happy. +Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play in their room.

She points to a book on the top square of the shelf. + +"I want to see the lion!" Tom says. He tries to reach the book, but he is too short. He jumps and stretches, but he cannot touch the book. + +Lila has an idea. She kneels on the floor and says, "Tom, you can stand on me. Then you can get the book." + +Tom thinks this is a good idea. He kneels on Lila and stands on her back. He feels taller. He reaches for the book and grabs it. + +"Yay, we got the book!" Tom says. He slides down from Lila and hugs her. "Thank you, Lila. You are a good sister." + +Lila smiles and hugs him back. "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good brother." + +They sit on the floor and open the book. They see many animals and learn their names.

It is coming up." + +They watched the sun rise over the trees and fields. It made everything bright and warm. They smiled and hugged each other. + +"Can we do this every day?" Lily asked. + +Ben thought for a moment. He wanted to be honest with his sister. He knew that sometimes they had to sleep longer, or it was too cold, or it was cloudy. + +"Maybe not every day," he said. "But we can do it sometimes. When the weather is good, and we are not too tired, and Mom and Dad say yes. Then we can see the sunrise." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She was happy that Ben was honest with her. She loved her brother. + +"Okay," she said. "Then let's do it sometimes. And let's include Teddy and Molly too. They are our friends. They would like the sunrise too." + +Ben agreed.

The robot said hello and waved its arms. Lily and Ben smiled and clapped. + +But then, a big dog came running. It saw the robot and barked. It thought the robot was a strange animal. It jumped on the robot and bit it. The robot made a loud noise and sparks flew. Lily and Ben were scared and ran away. + +They hid behind a tree and waited. They hoped the dog would go away and leave their robot alone. They wanted their robot back. They loved their robot. + +After a while, they peeked from behind the tree. They saw the dog was gone.

It did not move or talk. It looked sad. + +Lily and Ben felt uncomfortable. They did not know what to do. They wanted to help their robot, but they could not reach it. The hole was too small for them. They could only see their robot, but they could not touch it. It was like their robot had disappeared. + +They started to cry. They wished they had never brought their robot to the park. They wished they had kept it safe at home. They wished they could fix their robot and make it happy again. They hugged each other and said sorry to their robot. They hoped their robot could hear them and forgive them. They missed their robot. +Lily liked to sign. She learned how to sign from her mom, who was deaf. Lily could talk and hear, but she also wanted to sign with her mom and other deaf people.

They had helmets and hoses and ladders. They looked busy and brave. Lily wondered what they were doing. + +She saw one fireman climb up a ladder to the roof. He had a big metal tool in his hand.

They have never seen a talking ball before. They look at each other and nod. They want to play with Bobo. They think he is funny and friendly. + +Bobo rolls around the park with Anna and Ben. He tells them jokes and stories. He makes funny sounds and faces. He tickles them with his nose. Anna and Ben laugh a lot. They have fun with Bobo. + +They play with Bobo until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to Bobo and thank him for playing with them. Bobo says goodbye and tells them to come back soon. He says he likes them and he is happy to have new friends. Anna and Ben smile and wave. They walk home with their parents, holding hands. They feel happy and safe. They hope to see Bobo again. +Tom and Sam are playing with toy soldiers. They have a big box of them and they make them fight on the floor. Tom has the green soldiers and Sam has the red soldiers. They pretend that the green soldiers are good and the red soldiers are bad. + +"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Tom says, making noises with his mouth. He moves his green soldiers closer to Sam's red soldiers. "You are losing, Sam! Your red soldiers are weak!" + +"No, they are not!" Sam says, making noises back. He moves his red soldiers to hide behind a pillow. "You can't get me, Tom! My red soldiers are strong!" + +Tom and Sam keep playing for a long time. They have fun making their soldiers fight and talk. But then, Tom sees something on the floor. It is a tap. A shiny, silver tap. Tom likes taps. He likes to turn them on and off and make water come out. He forgets about his green soldiers and reaches for the tap. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Sam says, seeing Tom's hand. He thinks Tom is trying to cheat. "You can't touch that! That is not part of the game!" + +"Yes, I can!" Tom says, grabbing the tap. He smiles. He thinks he has found a treasure. "It is mine! I like taps!" + +Sam gets angry. He wants the tap too. He thinks it is not fair that Tom has it. He jumps on Tom and tries to take the tap from him. They start to fight. They pull and push and shout. + +"Give me the tap!" Sam says. + +"No, it is mine!" Tom says. + +They fight so hard that they knock over the box of toy soldiers. The green and red soldiers fall on the floor. They are mixed up and broken. Tom and Sam stop fighting. They look at the mess. They feel sad. They like their toy soldiers. They don't want them to be broken. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sam says. "I was mean. I shouldn't have fought with you." + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Tom says. "I was greedy. I shouldn't have taken the tap." + +They hug each other. They are friends again. They decide to share the tap. They also decide to stop playing with toy soldiers. They think it is not fun to make them fight. They think it is better to make them surrender. They say to their soldiers: + +"Green soldiers, surrender to red soldiers!" + +"Red soldiers, surrender to green soldiers!" + +They make their soldiers hug each other too. They are happy. They have learned a lesson. They have learned that fighting is bad and sharing is good. They have learned that taps are fun, but friends are more fun. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the snow and make snowmen. One day, they found a big shiny key on the ground. They wondered what it could open. + +"Maybe it opens a treasure chest!" said Ben. + +"Or a magic door!" said Lily. + +They decided to look for something to unlock with the key. They walked around the park, but they did not find anything. They were getting cold and hungry. + +"Let's go home and have some hot chocolate," said Lily. + +"OK, but can I keep the key?" asked Ben. + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to keep the key too, but she did not want to fight with Ben. + +"OK, you can keep the key, but you have to promise to share it with me tomorrow," she said. + +Ben nodded and smiled. He put the key in his pocket. + +"I promise," he said. + +They hugged and went home. + +The next day, Lily went to Ben's house to play with the key. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. She looked through the window and saw Ben playing with the key by himself. He had found a small wooden box and had locked and unlocked it with the key. He did not see Lily. + +Lily felt sad and angry. Ben had broken his promise. He did not share the key with her. He was not a good friend. + +She ran away, crying. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. + +Ben heard Lily's cry and looked out the window. He saw her running away. He felt sorry and ashamed. He had been selfish and mean. He had not kept his promise. He had lost his best friend. + +He ran after Lily, holding the key and the box. + +"Lily, wait! I'm sorry! I was wrong! Please forgive me!" he shouted. + +Lily stopped and turned around. She saw Ben coming towards her. He looked sorry and sad. + +He gave her the key and the box. + +"Here, you can have them. They are not as important as our friendship. I'm sorry I broke my promise. Can we still be friends?" he asked. + +Lily looked at the key and the box. She felt happy and relieved. She did not care about them anymore. She cared about Ben. + +She smiled and hugged him. + +"Of course we can still be friends. I forgive you. Thank you for saying sorry. And thank you for the key and the box. They are very nice. But you know what? We can share them. That's what friends do," she said. + +They hugged and went back to Ben's house. They played with the key and the box together. They also had some hot chocolate and cookies. They were warm and happy. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that promises are important and should not be broken. They learned that friendship is more valuable than anything. They learned that sharing is caring. They learned that saying sorry is brave and kind. They learned that being friends is fun. +Ben and Mia were playing in the woods. They liked to pretend they were brave explorers. They found a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Maybe there is a treasure or a secret map," Ben said. + +"Or maybe there is a monster or a spider," Mia said. + +They took turns to peek into the hole. They saw something shiny and metal. It was an axe. Someone had left it there. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. He reached for the axe. He wanted to touch it. + +"Ben, no! That is not a toy. That is dangerous. You can hurt yourself or me," Mia said. She pulled Ben back. + +Ben realized that Mia was right. He was sorry. He did not want to be silly or mean. He wanted to be dependable. He hugged Mia and said, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. You are smart and careful." + +Mia smiled and hugged Ben back. She said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. You are fun and brave." + +They decided to leave the axe alone. They went to look for other things to play with. They had a great time in the woods. They were happy. +One day, Sam and Mia wanted to play with their toy soldiers. They took them out of the box and put them on the floor. They pretended to be generals and gave orders to their soldiers. + +"March, march, march!" Sam shouted. He made his soldiers walk in a line across the carpet. "You are the best army in the world!" + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Mia said. She made her soldiers stand still and look at Sam's soldiers. "You are not the best army. You are too small. Look, I have a measure. I can show you how small you are." + +Mia took a ruler from her desk and held it next to Sam's soldiers. She pointed at the numbers and said, "See, your soldiers are only two inches tall. My soldiers are three inches tall. They are bigger and stronger than yours." + +Sam was not happy. He did not like Mia's measure. He thought it was not fair. He said, "I don't care about your measure. My soldiers are cooler than yours. They have helmets and guns and badges. Your soldiers have nothing. They are boring." + +Mia was not happy either. She did not like Sam's soldiers. She thought they were not cool. She said, "Your soldiers are not cool. They are silly and noisy and mean. My soldiers are nice and quiet and smart. They can do math and read and write." + +Sam and Mia started to argue. They raised their voices and said mean things to each other. They did not want to play together anymore. They wanted to take their soldiers and go away. + +But then, their mom came into the room. She heard them fighting and saw them holding their soldiers. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you yelling and being rude? You are supposed to share and be kind. You are brother and sister. You should love each other." + +Sam and Mia looked at their mom. They felt ashamed. They knew she was right. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were playing with our soldiers and we got angry. We did not mean to be mean." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's okay. I'm glad you are sorry. But you know, your soldiers are just toys. They are not real. They don't matter as much as you do. You are both special and wonderful. You have different talents and interests. You don't have to compare or compete. You can appreciate and cooperate. You can play together and have fun." + +Sam and Mia nodded and said, "You are right, mom. We are sorry. We love you and we love each other. We can play together and have fun." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too. Now, why don't you put your soldiers away and do something else? How about we make some cookies? That sounds like fun." + +Sam and Mia agreed. They put their soldiers back in the box and followed mom to the kitchen. They forgot about their measure and their cool. They remembered their love and their fun. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, Sara finds a smooth stone in the garden. She wants to show it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I have a smooth stone. It is shiny and pretty. Do you want to see?" Sara says. + +"Yes, let me see. Can I hold it?" Ben says. + +Sara gives the stone to Ben. He holds it in his hand. He likes how it feels. He does not want to give it back. + +"No, it is mine now. I like it more. Go find another one." Ben says. + +Sara is angry. She wants her stone back. She tries to grab it from Ben. Ben runs away. He runs to the sink. He thinks he can hide the stone there. + +"Give me back my stone, Ben. It is not yours. It is mine. You are mean." Sara says. + +She follows Ben to the sink. She sees him put the stone in the sink. She reaches for it. But the water is on. The stone slips from the sink. It goes down the drain. + +"Oh no, my stone! It is gone. You made it go away. You are bad." Sara says. + +She starts to cry. Ben feels sorry. He did not mean to make the stone go away. He hugs Sara. + +"I am sorry, Sara. I did not want to make you cry. I was silly. I should have given you back your stone. It was yours. You found it. You can have my toy car. It is smooth too. Do you want it?" Ben says. + +Sara stops crying. She looks at the toy car. It is smooth too. It is red and shiny. She likes it. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are nice. I like your toy car. It is smooth too. We can share it. We can play together. Do you want to play?" Sara says. + +Ben smiles. He nods. He takes Sara's hand. They go to play with the toy car. They are happy. They are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big jar of candy in the kitchen. They wanted to eat some, but their mom said no. She said candy was bad for their teeth and they had to wait until after dinner. + +But Lily and Ben did not listen. They sneaked into the kitchen when their mom was busy and took the jar to their room. They opened it and saw many colorful candies inside. They started to eat them, one by one. They thought they were very yummy and sweet. + +Soon, they ate too many candies. Their tummies started to hurt and their mouths felt sour. They felt sick and thirsty. They ran to the bathroom and drank some water. But it did not help. They still felt bad. + +They heard their mom calling them for dinner. They did not want to go. They were afraid their mom would see their faces and know they ate the candy. They hid under their bed and hoped their mom would not find them. + +But their mom was smart. She saw the empty jar in the kitchen and knew what they did. She went to their room and looked for them. She found them under the bed and pulled them out. She was not happy. + +She said, "Lily and Ben, why did you eat the candy? You know it is not good for you. You increased your chances of getting cavities and tummy aches. You also lied to me and disobeyed me. That is not nice. You should be sorry." + +Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were greedy and curious. We did not mean to hurt you or ourselves. We will not do it again. Please forgive us." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I forgive you, but you have to learn from your mistake. Candy is not a toy. It is a treat that you can have sometimes, but not too much. You have to eat healthy food and brush your teeth every day. You also have to listen to me and be honest. That is how you show me you love me and respect me." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We love you, mom. We respect you. We will do better next time." + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now, let's go have some dinner. I made your favorite soup and salad. They will make you feel better." + +Lily and Ben followed their mom to the kitchen. They ate their soup and salad and drank some milk. They felt better and happier. They learned their lesson and did not touch the candy again. + +The moral of the story is: Too much candy can make you sick and sour. You should listen to your mom and be honest. +Lily and Tom were twins who loved to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck with many sheep inside. The truck stopped near a farm and the farmer opened the door. The sheep came out and followed the farmer to a field. + +"Look, Lily, look!" Tom said. "The sheep are marching! They are going to eat grass and sleep." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She liked the sheep. They were white and fluffy and had funny faces. She wanted to touch them and hug them. + +"Can we go and see the sheep, Tom?" she asked. + +Tom thought for a moment. He was curious too, but he also knew that they had to be careful. The farmer might not like them to go near the sheep. He looked around and saw a fence that separated the field from the road. + +"Maybe we can go to the fence and watch them from there," he suggested. "But we have to be quiet and not scare them." + +Lily agreed and they ran to the fence. They climbed on a rock and peeked over the fence. The sheep were grazing and bleating softly. They looked happy and peaceful. + +"They are so beautiful, Tom," Lily whispered. "I wish we had a sheep as a pet." + +Tom nodded. He wished that too. He wondered what it would be like to have a sheep as a friend. He imagined playing with it and brushing its wool. + +Suddenly, one of the sheep looked up and saw them. It was a small sheep with a black spot on its nose. It seemed curious and friendly. It walked towards the fence and stopped in front of them. + +"Hello, sheep," Lily said softly. "We like you. You are very cute." + +The sheep tilted its head and made a sound. It sounded like "baa". + +"Did you hear that, Tom?" Lily said excitedly. "The sheep said hello to us!" + +Tom smiled and reached out his hand. He wanted to pet the sheep. The sheep sniffed his hand and licked it gently. It felt warm and wet. + +"Hello, sheep," Tom said. "We are Lily and Tom. We are twins. We want to be your friends." + +The sheep nodded and made another sound. It sounded like "baa". + +Lily and Tom laughed and clapped their hands. They felt happy and surprised. They had made a new friend. A beautiful sheep friend. +Lily liked to play the piano. She had a big piano in her room, with many keys. She learned how to make sounds with the keys. She liked to repeat the sounds over and over. + +One day, her mom came to her room. She said, "Lily, I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?" Lily nodded. She loved surprises. She followed her mom to the living room. + +There, she saw a small piano on the floor. It was red and yellow, and it had only a few keys. It looked like a toy. Her mom said, "This is your new piano, Lily. It is for you. You can play it anywhere you want. Do you like it?" + +Lily touched the new piano. It felt rough. She pressed a key. It made a sound, but it was not like the big piano. It was loud and funny. She pressed another key. It made another sound, but it was not like the big piano. It was high and squeaky. She did not like it. + +She looked at her mom. She said, "No, thank you. I like my big piano better. It makes nice sounds. Can I go back to my room?" Her mom smiled. She said, "Of course, Lily. You can play your big piano as much as you want. But maybe you can try the new piano later. It has a secret. If you repeat the sounds in the right order, it will play a song for you. Do you want to hear it?" + +Lily was curious. She liked songs. She said, "Yes, please. Can you show me?" Her mom nodded. She pressed the keys on the new piano. She repeated the sounds in the right order. The new piano played a song for Lily. It was a song that Lily knew. It was "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". Lily smiled. She liked the song. She said, "That is nice. Can I try?" Her mom said, "Sure, Lily. You can try. Just repeat the sounds like I did." Lily tried. She repeated the sounds on the new piano. She played the song for her mom. Her mom clapped. She said, "Well done, Lily. You are very good. I am proud of you." Lily was happy. She hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. I like the new piano too. It is fun. Can I play both pianos?" Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. You can play both pianos. You can make many sounds and many songs. You can be a great piano player." Lily smiled. She liked to play the piano. She had two pianos now. She was lucky. +Lily and Ben like to swim in the pool. They splash each other and have fun. They also like to race each other. They swim fast and try to touch the wall first. + +One day, they see a big sign on the pool. It says there is a swim contest. The winner will get a medal. Lily and Ben want to join the contest. They think they are good swimmers. + +They sign up for the contest. They wait for their turn. They see other kids swim. Some swim very fast. Some swim very slow. Some swim very ugly. Lily and Ben laugh at the ugly swimmers. + +Then it is their turn. They jump in the water. They swim as fast as they can. They splash a lot. They see the wall. They touch it at the same time. They look at each other. They smile. + +The judge comes to them. He says they are both winners. He gives them each a medal. The medals are shiny and pretty. Lily and Ben are very happy. They hug each other. They show their medals to their mom and dad. They say they are the best swimmers in the pool. +Lily likes to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She finds a pink dress, a pink hat and a pink belt in the closet. She puts them on and looks at herself in the mirror. She feels very pretty and happy. + +She goes to the living room, where her dad is reading a book. She wants to show him her outfit. She says, "Dad, dad, look at me! I am a princess!" + +Her dad looks up and smiles. He says, "Wow, Lily, you are a beautiful princess! I love your pink dress, your pink hat and your pink belt. Where did you get them?" + +Lily says, "I got them from mom's closet. She has many nice things. Can I keep them, dad?" + +Her dad says, "Well, Lily, they are mom's things, and she might need them later. How about you play with them for a little while, and then put them back where you found them? And maybe you can ask mom if you can borrow them again another day." + +Lily says, "OK, dad, I will do that. Thank you for letting me play with them. Can I give you a hug?" + +Her dad says, "Of course, Lily, I love hugs. Come here, princess." + +Lily runs to her dad and hugs him. She feels very happy and loved. She says, "I love you, dad. You are the best." + +Her dad says, "I love you too, Lily. You are the best." +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill with a hole. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's go to the cave!" Tom says. + +"OK, but be careful," Lila says. + +They walk to the hill and enter the hole. It is dark and cold. They hear a strange noise. + +"What is that?" Lila asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe a bear?" Tom says. + +They are scared. They want to go back. But they cannot see the way out. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. + +No one hears them. They hug each other and cry. + +Then, they see a light. It is a flashlight. It is their dad. He heard them and came to find them. + +"Dad! Dad!" they say. + +He picks them up and carries them out of the cave. He hugs them and kisses them. + +"Are you OK?" he asks. + +"Yes, we are OK. We are sorry. We were curious," they say. + +"It's OK. I'm glad you are safe. But next time, don't go to strange places without me," he says. + +"OK, dad. We won't. We love you. We are grateful," they say. + +They go home and have some cookies and milk. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They will always listen to their dad. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a big book with many colors. The book has pictures of stars and planets. Tom and Mia want to learn more. + +They open the book and see a blue planet. The book says it is Earth. That is where they live. They see a yellow star. The book says it is Sun. That is where the light comes from. They see a red planet. The book says it is Mars. That is where the robots go. + +"Wow, look at Mars!" Tom says. "It is so red and rocky. I want to go there and see the robots." + +"Me too!" Mia says. "But how can we go there? We need a rocket." + +Tom has an idea. He runs to his room and brings a big cardboard box. He says, "This is our rocket. We can pretend to fly to Mars. Come on, Mia, let's go!" + +Tom and Mia get inside the box and close the flap. They make noises like a rocket. They count down from ten to one. They say, "Blast off!" They pretend to fly through the sky and see the stars and planets. + +They have fun for a long time. They forget about everything else. They forget to eat lunch. They forget to drink water. They forget to go to the bathroom. + +After a while, they start to feel hurt. Their tummies are hungry. Their mouths are dry. Their bladders are full. They want to go back to Earth. + +"Tom, I don't like Mars anymore," Mia says. "I want to go home. I want to eat and drink and pee." + +"Me too, Mia," Tom says. "Let's go back to Earth. But how do we do that? We forgot how to fly the rocket." + +Tom and Mia look at the box. They don't see any buttons or levers or switches. They don't know how to make the rocket go. They are stuck on Mars. + +They start to cry. They cry very loud. They hope someone will hear them and help them. + +Their mom hears them. She comes to the room and sees the box. She opens the flap and sees Tom and Mia. They are crying and hurt. + +"What are you doing, Tom and Mia?" she asks. "Why are you in this box?" + +Tom and Mia tell her. They tell her they were flying to Mars. They tell her they forgot how to fly back. They tell her they are hungry and thirsty and need to pee. + +Their mom hugs them. She says, "Don't worry, Tom and Mia. You are not on Mars. You are on Earth. This is not a rocket. This is a box. You were just pretending. You can come out now." + +Tom and Mia come out of the box. They are happy to see their mom. They are happy to be on Earth. They are happy to eat and drink and pee. + +Their mom says, "Next time, don't forget to take care of yourselves. And don't forget to have fun. But not too much fun." + +Tom and Mia say, "Okay, mom. We love you." + +They love their mom. They love their planet. They love their book. They still want to learn more. But they don't want to forget. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the garden. They made a big tower with red, blue and yellow blocks. They were very proud of their tower. + +"Look, Lily, our tower is so high!" Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben, it is very high. Can you see the birds in the sky?" Lily said. + +They looked up and saw some birds flying over their heads. They waved at the birds and smiled. + +But then, a strong wind came and blew their tower down. The blocks fell on the grass and made a loud noise. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. + +"Bad wind! Go away!" Ben shouted. + +"Don't cry, Ben. We can make another tower later." Lily said. + +She hugged Ben and tried to cheer him up. + +"Come on, Ben. Let's go and swing on the swings. Swinging is fun!" Lily said. + +She took Ben's hand and led him to the swings. They climbed on the swings and pushed each other. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and forgot about their tower. + +They swung higher and higher, until they touched the clouds. They felt happy and free. + +But then, they heard their mom calling them. + +"Lily! Ben! Time for lunch!" Mom said. + +They looked at each other and realized they were hungry. They jumped off the swings and ran to their mom. + +"Mom, we are hungry!" Lily said. + +"Me too!" Ben said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. + +"I have made some sandwiches and fruit for you. Come and eat!" Mom said. + +They followed Mom to the picnic table and sat down. They ate their sandwiches and fruit and drank some juice. They told Mom about their tower and their swings. Mom listened and praised them. + +They thanked Mom and gave her a kiss. They felt full and happy. + +They decided to play with blocks again after lunch. They hoped the wind would not blow their tower down this time. They loved playing with blocks and swinging on the swings. They loved each other and Mom. They had a good day. +Bunny and Mouse were friends. They liked to play in the grass and look for seeds and berries. One day, they saw a big shiny thing in the sky. It was round and bright and made a loud noise. + +"What is that?" Mouse asked. + +"I don't know," Bunny said. "Maybe it is a big ball. Let's hop and see." + +They hopped closer and closer to the big shiny thing. It was very hot and loud. They felt scared. + +"Stop!" a voice said. "Don't come any closer. It is not a ball. It is a fire." + +They looked and saw a bird on a branch. It was red and yellow and had a long tail. + +"Who are you?" Bunny asked. + +"I am Phoenix," the bird said. "I am not an ordinary bird. I can make fire and fly very high. I came from far away to see this place." + +"Why do you make fire?" Mouse asked. + +"Fire is my truth," Phoenix said. "It is what I am. It makes me strong and free. But fire can also hurt. You must be careful. Fire is not for you." + +Bunny and Mouse nodded. They understood. They thanked Phoenix for telling them the truth. They said goodbye and hopped away. They decided to play somewhere else, where it was not so hot and loud. They were happy to be ordinary friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They are three years old. They like to play and laugh together. But sometimes they fight over toys and books. Mom and Dad are not happy when they fight. They say, "Fighting is not nice. Sharing is nice. Sharing makes peace." + +One day, Mom and Dad have a surprise for Lily and Ben. They say, "We have a special day today. We are going to celebrate peace. Do you know what peace means?" Lily and Ben shake their heads. Mom and Dad say, "Peace means being kind and gentle to each other. Peace means no fighting and no hurting. Peace means loving and caring for each other. Peace makes everyone happy." + +Lily and Ben want to be happy. They say, "We want to celebrate peace. How do we do that?" Mom and Dad say, "We can do many things to celebrate peace. We can hug and kiss each other. We can say sorry and forgive each other. We can play and help each other. We can make a peace sign with our hands. We can sing a peace song. We can make a peace cake." + +Lily and Ben like the idea of a peace cake. They say, "We want to make a peace cake. What do we need?" Mom and Dad say, "We need flour, sugar, eggs, butter, milk, vanilla, and chocolate. We also need a big bowl, a spoon, a pan, and an oven. We can mix the ingredients in the bowl, pour the batter in the pan, and bake the cake in the oven. Then we can decorate the cake with frosting and sprinkles. We can make a peace sign with the sprinkles on top of the cake." + +Lily and Ben help Mom and Dad make the peace cake. They take turns to measure, pour, crack, stir, and spread. They are careful and gentle. They say, "Please" and "Thank you". They do not fight or spill. They are proud of their peace cake. It smells good and looks pretty. They wait for the cake to cool down. Then they cut the cake and share it with Mom and Dad. They say, "This is the best cake ever. It is so yummy. We love peace cake. We love peace. We love each other." They hug and kiss each other. They sing a peace song. They are happy. They celebrate peace. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play on the farm. They had many friends, like the cows, the pigs, and the chickens. But their favorite friends were the sheep. The sheep were soft and white and made funny noises. + +One day, Ben and Lily decided to play a trick on the sheep. They found some paint and brushes in the barn and sneaked up to the sheep pen. They painted some of the sheep with different colors, like red, blue, and green. They thought it was very funny and laughed a lot. + +But the sheep did not think it was funny. They felt cold and sticky and strange. They did not like the colors on their wool. They felt ashamed and sad. They bleated loudly and ran away from Ben and Lily. + +"What have you done?" said Farmer Joe, who heard the noise and came to see. He saw the painted sheep and was very angry. He scolded Ben and Lily and told them to clean the sheep and the pen. He said they were naughty and mean and hurt the sheep's feelings. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They did not mean to hurt the sheep. They only wanted to have fun. They said sorry to Farmer Joe and to the sheep. They used water and soap and brushes to wash the paint off the sheep. They worked hard and long until the sheep were white and clean again. + +The sheep forgave Ben and Lily and let them pet them and hug them. Ben and Lily learned their lesson and promised to never play tricks on the sheep again. They said they loved the sheep and the sheep seemed to love them too. They all became friends again and lived happily on the farm. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to jump in the leaves and have fun. + +"Let's gather some more leaves and make a bigger pile!" Lily said. + +"OK, that sounds good!" Tom said. + +They ran around the park and gathered more leaves. They put them on the pile and made it very big. They were happy and excited. + +"Ready to jump?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, let's go!" Tom said. + +They ran to the pile and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves in the air. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" It was Ben, the park keeper. He looked angry. + +"These are my leaves. I worked hard to rake them and put them in bags. You made a mess and ruined my work. You are not smart, you are naughty!" He said. + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They did not know that the leaves were Ben's work. They thought they were just playing. + +"We are sorry, Ben. We did not mean to make you angry. We did not know that the leaves were your work. We just wanted to have fun." Lily said. + +"Fun is good, but you have to respect other people's work. You have to ask before you touch or use something that is not yours. You have to be smart and polite." Ben said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They understood that they made a mistake. They wanted to make Ben happy again. + +"Can we help you fix the mess?" Tom asked. + +"That would be nice of you. Thank you." Ben said. + +He gave them some bags and a rake. They helped him gather the leaves again and put them in the bags. They worked hard and fast. They used their hands and feet. + +When they finished, Ben smiled. + +"You did a good job. You are smart and helpful. I forgive you. You can play in the park, but please be careful and respectful." He said. + +Lily and Tom smiled too. They thanked Ben and said sorry again. They learned a lesson. They played in the park, but they did not touch the leaves. They had fun, but they also respected Ben's work. They were smart and good friends. +Lily and Max were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a bike, a doll and a cooler. The cooler had some juice and snacks for later. They were having fun, but then they saw a big dog. The dog was black and brown and had a long tail. It looked mysterious and scary. + +The dog ran towards them and barked loudly. Lily and Max were afraid and ran away. They left their toys behind. The dog reached the toys and sniffed them. It liked the ball and the bike, but it loved the cooler. It opened the cooler with its teeth and found the juice and snacks. It drank the juice and ate the snacks. It was very happy. + +Lily and Max hid behind a tree and watched the dog. They wanted their toys back, but they did not know what to do. They were too scared to go near the dog. They wished they had a grown-up to help them. Then they saw a man walking by. He had a leash in his hand. He was the dog's owner. + +The man saw the dog and called its name. It was Rex. Rex heard the man and wagged its tail. It left the toys and ran to the man. The man was angry and said, "Bad dog! You should not take other people's things!" He put the leash on Rex and said sorry to Lily and Max. He gave them their toys back and said, "You can have the rest of the juice and snacks. I hope you are not hurt." + +Lily and Max were glad and said thank you. They took their toys and the cooler. They learned a lesson. They learned that they should not leave their things alone. They learned that they should stay away from mysterious and scary dogs. They learned that they should always have a grown-up with them. They learned that sometimes people and dogs can say sorry and be nice. They learned that they should not surrender their toys to a dog. They learned to be brave and smart. +Sara was a dependable daughter. She always helped her mom and dad with chores and homework. She was kind to her little brother and sister. She liked to read books and draw pictures. + +One day, Sara's mom had to go to the doctor. She asked Sara to watch her brother and sister while she was gone. Sara said yes, she could do it. She gave her mom a hug and said, "Don't worry, mom. I will take care of them." + +Sara made some snacks for her brother and sister. She read them a story and played with them. She made sure they were safe and happy. She did not watch TV or play with her toys. She did not complain or get bored. + +When Sara's mom came back, she was very proud of Sara. She said, "Thank you, Sara. You are a dependable daughter. You did a great job. I love you very much." She gave Sara a kiss and a hug. + +Sara smiled and said, "You're welcome, mom. I love you too. I'm glad you're back." + +The moral of the story is: Being dependable means being responsible and trustworthy. It is a good quality to have. It makes your parents happy and proud. It also makes you feel good about yourself. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big balloon that was tied to a tree. It was red and shiny and had a sign that said "Oxygen". Ben wanted to touch it and see what was inside. Sam said no, that was not a good idea. He said the balloon was for sick people who needed more air to breathe. He said they should leave it alone and play with their ball. + +But Ben did not listen to Sam. He was curious and naughty. He ran to the balloon and pulled the string. The balloon popped and made a loud noise. A lot of air came out and filled the park. Ben and Sam could not see anything. They could not breathe. They started to cough and choke. They cried for help, but no one heard them. + +The people who owned the balloon came back and saw what happened. They were angry and sad. They said the balloon was very important and expensive. They said it had a special kind of air that was good for their grandma, who was very sick. They said the boys were very foolish and selfish. They said they had to pay for the balloon and for their grandma's medicine. They said they had to go to the hospital and maybe to the police. + +Ben and Sam were very sorry and scared. They wished they had listened to Sam, who was wise. They learned a hard lesson. They learned that they should not touch things that are not theirs. They learned that they should respect other people's things and needs. They learned that curiosity can be dangerous and costly. They learned that oxygen is precious and not a toy. +Lila and Tom are playing knights and dragons in the park. Lila has a wooden sword and Tom has a cardboard shield. They pretend to fight the big slide, which is the dragon. + +"Roar! I am the dragon and I will eat you!" Tom says, waving his shield. + +"No, you won't! I am the brave knight and I will use my sword to stop you!" Lila says, swinging her sword. + +They run towards the slide, but then they see a big dog coming. The dog is gray and has a loud bark. It looks angry and hungry. + +"Help! The dog is a real dragon!" Lila says, scared. + +"Quick, hide behind the shield!" Tom says, holding his shield in front of them. + +They crouch behind the shield and hope the dog will go away. The dog sniffs the shield and barks. It tries to bite the shield, but it is too hard. The dog gets bored and runs away. + +"Phew, that was close!" Lila says, sighing. + +"Good thing we had the shield! It saved us from the dragon!" Tom says, smiling. + +They hug each other and go back to playing knights and dragons. They are happy and brave. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they fight. One day, they have a big fight over a red car. Lily wants the car, but Ben says it is his. + +"Give me the car!" Lily says. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. + +They pull and push the car. They are very angry. They do not hear their mom calling them for lunch. + +Mom comes to their room. She sees the fight. She is not happy. She is serious. + +"Stop fighting, Lily and Ben!" Mom says. "It is time to eat. You need to share your toys and be nice to each other." + +Lily and Ben stop fighting. They feel sorry. They say sorry to each other and to Mom. They hug and make up. + +They go to the kitchen. Mom has made sandwiches and fruit for them. They eat their lunch. They are hungry and happy. They thank Mom for the food. + +After lunch, they go back to their room. They play with the red car together. They take turns and have fun. They do not fight anymore. They are good twins. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room when they saw a big package on the table. It had a red bow and a tag that said "To Mom and Dad, from Aunt Rose". They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it and see," Ben said. He climbed on a chair and reached for the package. + +"No, we can't!" Lily said. "It's not for us. Mom and Dad will be mad if we touch it." + +"But maybe it's something fun, like a toy or a book," Ben said. "Aunt Rose always gives us nice things. And it looks harmless. It doesn't make any noise or smell bad." + +He pulled the package closer and tore the paper. Lily gasped and tried to stop him, but it was too late. Inside the package was a big cake with white frosting and colorful sprinkles. It looked yummy. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. He licked his fingers and smiled. "It tastes good, too. Come on, Lily, have some. Mom and Dad won't notice if we just take a little bit." + +Lily hesitated, but she was curious and hungry. She joined Ben and took a small bite of the cake. It was sweet and soft. They ate more and more, until they had eaten half of the cake. + +They felt happy and full, until they heard the door open. Mom and Dad were home. They heard their footsteps and voices coming closer. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Lily said. She felt scared and guilty. She tried to hide the package behind the chair, but it was too big and messy. + +Mom and Dad entered the living room and saw the package. They saw the cake. They saw Lily and Ben with frosting and sprinkles on their faces and hands. They looked angry and disappointed. + +"Lily and Ben, what did you do?" Mom said. "This was a special cake for our anniversary. Aunt Rose made it for us. How could you be so naughty and greedy?" + +Lily and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They tried to say they were sorry, but Mom and Dad didn't listen. They scolded them and sent them to their rooms without dinner. They cried and wished they had never touched the package. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Lily and Max loved dinosaurs. They had many dinosaur toys and books. They liked to pretend they were dinosaurs and roar and stomp. One day, they asked their mom if they could go to the dinosaur museum. Their mom said yes, but they had to be good and listen. + +They got in the car and drove to the museum. They were very excited. They saw big bones and pictures of dinosaurs. They learned their names and what they ate. They saw a dinosaur that had feathers and a dinosaur that had horns. They saw a dinosaur that was very big and a dinosaur that was very small. + +They came to a room that had a sign that said "Dinosaur Eggs". They went inside and saw a big glass case. Inside the case, there were many eggs. Some were round and some were oval. Some were brown and some were green. Some were smooth and some were bumpy. Lily and Max wondered what kind of dinosaurs were inside the eggs. + +They saw a man in a white coat. He was a scientist. He was holding a tool that looked like a hammer. He was tapping on one of the eggs. He said he was trying to open the egg and see the baby dinosaur. Lily and Max wanted to see too. They went closer to the glass case. + +The man tapped harder and harder. He made a crack in the egg. He smiled and said, "Look, it's hatching!" He pulled the egg apart and lifted something out. Lily and Max gasped. It was not a baby dinosaur. It was a baby crocodile. It had sharp teeth and a long tail. It hissed and snapped at the man. The man dropped it and ran away. The baby crocodile crawled out of the glass case and chased him. Lily and Max screamed. They thought it was disgusting. They ran away too. They did not want to see any more dinosaur eggs. They wanted to go home. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toy helicopter. They liked to make it fly high in the sky and watch it spin. They pretended they were pilots and went on adventures. + +"Look, Lily, I can make it go over the trees!" Tom said, holding the remote. + +"Wow, Tom, that's so cool!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "But be careful, don't let it go too far!" + +Tom nodded, but he wanted to see how high the helicopter could go. He pushed the button harder and harder, until the helicopter was just a tiny dot in the sky. He smiled, feeling proud of himself. + +But then, something bad happened. A big bird saw the helicopter and thought it was a snack. It flew towards it and opened its beak. Tom and Lily gasped as they saw the bird eat their helicopter. + +"Tom, Lily, what's wrong?" their mom asked, coming over to them. + +"Mom, mom, a bird ate our helicopter!" Tom cried, pointing at the sky. + +"A bird ate your helicopter?" their mom repeated, confused. + +"Yes, mom, a big bird, like this!" Lily said, spreading her arms. "It was so fast and hungry!" + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, sweeties, that's very sad. But don't worry, we can get you another helicopter. And next time, be more careful, okay?" + +Tom and Lily nodded, feeling a little better. They learned their lesson and decided to play with something else. They still liked helicopters, but they also liked birds. They hoped the bird was happy with its snack. +Lily and Ben are playing in the sandbox. They have a bucket, a shovel and a big tire. They like to fill the bucket with sand and pour it on the tire. They make a sand mountain on the tire. + +"Look, Lily, our sand mountain is so big!" Ben says. + +"Yes, it is, Ben. It is the biggest sand mountain ever!" Lily says. + +They are very happy with their sand mountain. They want to make it bigger and bigger. + +But then, Max comes. Max is older than Lily and Ben. He is not nice. He sees the sand mountain and he wants it. + +"Hey, that is my sand mountain!" Max says. He runs to the sandbox and pushes Lily and Ben away. He takes the bucket and the shovel and pours the sand off the tire. He makes a big mess. + +"Stop, Max, stop!" Lily and Ben cry. "That is not fair! That is our sand mountain!" + +But Max does not listen. He laughs and pours more sand off the tire. He ruins the sand mountain. + +Lily and Ben are very sad and angry. They want their sand mountain back. They look at each other and have an idea. + +They run to the hose and turn it on. They spray water on Max and the tire. The water makes the sand wet and sticky. Max gets wet and dirty. He does not like it. + +"Hey, stop, stop!" Max cries. "That is not fair! That is my tire!" + +But Lily and Ben do not listen. They laugh and spray more water on Max and the tire. They make a big mud puddle. + +Lily and Ben are very happy and proud. They have their tire back. They do not care about the sand mountain anymore. They like the mud puddle better. They play in the mud puddle and have fun. +Lily was very happy. It was her birthday today. She saw a big brown box on the table. It was a present for her. She ran to the box and picked it up. She wanted to know what was inside. + +She shook the box. She heard a funny noise. It sounded like something was moving and rattling. She shook the box harder. The noise got louder. She wondered what it could be. She was very curious. + +She opened the box. She saw a lot of paper and a small cage. She moved the paper away. She saw a furry animal in the cage. It had long ears and a fluffy tail. It was a bunny. She smiled and gasped. She loved bunnies. + +She took the cage out of the box. She opened the cage door. She reached for the bunny. The bunny was shy. It hid in the corner. She spoke softly to the bunny. She said, "Hello, bunny. I am Lily. You are my present. You are very cute. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The bunny looked at her. It saw her kind eyes and her gentle hand. It felt safe. It hopped out of the cage. It sniffed her hand. It licked her fingers. It let her pet its fur. It nuzzled her cheek. It was happy. + +Lily hugged the bunny. She said, "Thank you, mommy and daddy. This is the best present ever. I love you, bunny. I will take good care of you. You are my new friend." She kissed the bunny. She was happy. +Lila and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to make towers and houses and cars. Lila has a lot of red blocks and Ben has a lot of blue blocks. They share some yellow and green blocks. + +"Look, I made a big square!" Lila says, showing Ben her block. "It has four sides and four corners. Do you like it?" + +"Yes, it is a nice square," Ben says. "But I like circles better. They are round and smooth. Look, I made a wheel with my blocks. It can spin and roll." + +Ben puts his wheel on the floor and pushes it. It spins fast and makes a funny noise. Lila and Ben laugh and clap. + +"Can I try?" Lila asks. + +"Sure, here you go," Ben says, giving her his wheel. + +Lila takes the wheel and spins it. She likes how it feels in her hands. She spins it faster and faster. She watches the colors blur and mix. She feels dizzy. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lila says. "But I feel funny. Everything is moving." + +"Me too," Ben says. "Let's stop spinning. Maybe we can make something else with our blocks." + +They put the wheel down and sit on the floor. They feel better. They look at their blocks and smile. + +"What do you want to make?" Lila asks. + +"Maybe we can make a square and a circle together," Ben says. "That would be cool." + +"Okay, let's try," Lila says. + +They start to build with their blocks. They have fun. They are friends. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their dog, Rex. Rex was big and furry and loved to run and jump. One day, Mom said she had a surprise for them. She gave them a big steak to share with Rex. "This is a special treat for being good boys," she said. "But be careful, don't let Rex eat it all. Save some for later." + +Tim and Sam were very happy. They took the steak to the backyard, where Rex was waiting. They lay the steak on a plate and put it on the grass. Rex sniffed the steak and licked his lips. He wanted to eat it right away. But Tim and Sam said, "No, Rex, wait. We will play with you first. Then we will give you some steak." + +They threw a ball for Rex and he chased it. They ran around the yard and he followed them. They hugged him and he wagged his tail. They had a lot of fun. But they forgot about the steak. They did not see a big black bird flying over the fence. The bird saw the steak and wanted it too. It swooped down and grabbed the steak with its claws. It flew away with the steak in its mouth. + +Tim and Sam heard Rex bark. They turned around and saw the bird and the steak. They were very sad and angry. They shouted, "Hey, bird, give us back our steak! That's not fair! That's ours!" But the bird did not listen. It flew higher and higher until it was gone. + +Mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw Tim and Sam crying and Rex whining. She asked, "What happened, boys? Where is the steak?" They told her what the bird did. Mom felt sorry for them. She said, "I'm sorry, boys. That was a mean bird. But don't worry, I have another steak in the fridge. We can cook it and eat it together. And we can give Rex some too. How does that sound?" + +Tim and Sam smiled and nodded. They hugged Mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. We love you." Rex barked and licked Mom's face. He was happy too. They went inside and cooked the steak. They ate it with bread and salad. They gave Rex some bones and meat. They were full and happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to watch their steak and share it with Rex. They never left it alone again. +Tom and Anna were very happy. They were going on a holiday with their mum and dad. They packed their bags with toys and clothes. They got in the car and drove to the airport. + +At the airport, they saw many planes. Some were small and some were huge. Tom and Anna wanted to see the huge ones. They asked their mum and dad if they could go closer. + +"OK, but be careful and stay with us," their mum said. + +They walked to the window and looked at the huge planes. They saw how they moved and made loud noises. They saw how people got in and out of them. + +"Wow, look at that one!" Tom said. "It has wings and a tail and a nose!" + +"That's not a nose, silly, that's a cockpit," Anna said. "That's where the pilot sits and flies the plane." + +"I want to be a pilot when I grow up," Tom said. "I want to fly a huge plane like that." + +"I want to be a princess when I grow up," Anna said. "I want to wear a pretty dress and a crown." + +They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy to have different dreams. + +Soon, it was time to board their plane. They followed their mum and dad to the gate. They showed their tickets and got on the plane. They found their seats and buckled their belts. + +The plane started to move and then to speed up. Tom and Anna felt excited and nervous. They held their mum's and dad's hands. + +The plane lifted off the ground and flew into the sky. Tom and Anna looked out the window and saw the clouds and the sun. + +They jumped in their seats and clapped their hands. + +"We're flying, we're flying!" they shouted. + +They were on their way to their holiday. They couldn't wait to see what adventures awaited them. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They like to slide on the big slide. Sara has long hair. Ben has short hair. + +One day, Sara's mom says, "Sara, you need a haircut. Your hair is too long. It gets in your eyes and your mouth. Come, let's go to the salon." + +Sara does not want a haircut. She likes her long hair. She says, "No, mom. I don't want a haircut. My hair is pretty. Ben likes my hair." + +Sara's mom says, "Sara, a haircut will not make your hair less pretty. It will make it easier to play and to see. Ben will still like your hair. Trust me, you will like it too." + +Sara is scared. She does not want to go to the salon. She does not want to see the scissors. She cries and runs away. She runs to the park. She sees Ben. She says, "Ben, help me. My mom wants to cut my hair. I don't want a haircut. I want to keep my hair." + +Ben says, "Sara, why are you crying? A haircut is not bad. I have a haircut. It does not hurt. It makes me feel cool and clean. Your mom loves you. She wants you to be happy and healthy. A haircut will not change who you are. You will still be Sara. You will still be my friend. You will still be pretty." + +Sara listens to Ben. She thinks about what he says. She says, "Ben, you are right. A haircut is not bad. It is just hair. It will grow back. My mom loves me. She knows what is best for me. I will go to the salon. I will try a haircut. Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend." + +Sara and Ben hug. They go back to Sara's mom. Sara says, "Mom, I am sorry. I was scared. I will go to the salon. I will get a haircut. I trust you, mom. You know what is best for me." + +Sara's mom smiles. She says, "Sara, I am proud of you. You are brave. You are smart. You are kind. You are my pretty girl. Come, let's go to the salon. I will be with you. It will be fun." + +Sara and Ben go to the salon. Sara gets a haircut. She looks in the mirror. She likes her haircut. It is short and cute.

You are pretty. You are pretty with long hair. You are pretty with short hair. You are pretty with any hair. You are pretty because you are you." + +Sara and Ben go back to the park. They slide on the big slide. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends. + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches that haircuts are not scary or bad, that they do not change who you are, that you should trust your parents, and that you are pretty no matter what. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big steel box in the yard. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom said. He tried to lift the lid, but it was too heavy. + +"Maybe we need a key," Sue said. She looked around and saw a shiny key on a hook. She took it and put it in the lock. The box opened with a click. + +Inside the box, they saw many things: books, clothes, toys, and food. They were very happy and excited. + +"Wow, look at all this stuff!" Tom said. He grabbed a toy car and a book. + +"Me too!" Sue said. She took a dress and a doll. + +They started to play with their new things, but they did not share. They only wanted what they had. + +Soon, they began to argue. + +"That's mine!" Tom said, pointing at a toy train. + +"No, it's mine!" Sue said, pulling it away. + +"Give it back!" Tom said, pushing her. + +"Stop it!" Sue said, hitting him. + +They fought and fought, and made a big mess. They did not have fun anymore. + +Then, they heard a voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" It was Ben, their neighbor. He was older and bigger than them. He saw the open box and the things on the ground. + +"These are mine!" he said. He walked over and took the key from Sue. He locked the box and put the key in his pocket. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Tom said. + +"Too bad!" Ben said. He laughed and ran away. + +Tom and Sue were very sad and angry. They had lost everything. They looked at each other and felt sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sue said. "I was selfish. I should have shared with you." + +"I'm sorry, Sue," Tom said. "I was greedy. I should have been nice to you." + +They hugged and forgave each other. They decided to be friends again. + +They learned a lesson: it is better to serve and share than to take and fight. They were happy again. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with tools. They have a big box of tools in their room. They have hammers, saws, screws, nails and more. + +One day, Tom and Sam want to make a house for their toy bear. They take some wood and tools from their dad's shed. They do not ask their dad.

Sam! What are you doing?" he shouts. "You took my tools without asking! You made a mess of your room! You damaged the wall! You are in big trouble!" + +Tom and Sam are scared. They drop their tools. They look at their dad. They look at their bear. They feel ashamed. + +"We are sorry, dad," they say. "We wanted to make a house for our bear. We did not mean to make you angry." + +Their dad sighs. He is still angry, but he loves his sons. He knows they are young and curious. + +"Boys, you should not take things that are not yours. You should not play with tools that are dangerous.

He tells them to clean up their room. He tells them to help him fix the wall. He tells them to eat their lunch. He tells them to take a nap. + +Tom and Sam do what their dad says.

She thinks Mom does not like her drawing. She starts to cry. + +Mom hugs Sara and wipes her tears. "I'm not angry with you, Sara. I love you and your drawing. I'm sorry I scared you. I just want you to be safe. Scissors are for grown-ups only. You can use glue or tape to put your drawing in a frame. Do you want to do that?" + +Sara nods. She smiles. She still wants to put her drawing in a frame. Mom helps her find glue and a frame. They glue the drawing to the frame. They hang it on the wall. Sara is happy again.

She makes a big pile of hair on the floor. + +Mommy comes into the room. She sees Anna with the scissors and the hair. She is very angry. She takes the scissors from Anna and puts them away. She scolds Anna. + +"Anna, what did you do? You ruined your dolls' hair. Scissors are sharp. They can hurt you and your dolls. You are not allowed to use scissors without me. And you wasted my shampoo. Shampoo is for washing hair, not cutting it. You are in big trouble, young lady." + +Anna feels bad. She did not mean to make mommy angry. She did not know scissors are sharp and shampoo is for washing. She looks at her dolls. They look sad. She starts to cry. + +"I'm sorry, mommy. I just wanted to play. I love my dolls. I don't like their hair now. Can you fix it?" + +Mommy sighs. She hugs Anna and wipes her tears. She is still angry, but she loves Anna. She knows Anna is young and curious. + +"I'm sorry, too, Anna. I know you did not mean to be bad. But you have to be careful with scissors and shampoo. They are not toys. They have other uses. And you have to ask me before you use them. Do you understand?" + +Anna nods. She understands. She says sorry again. + +"Can you fix my dolls' hair, mommy?" + +Mommy shakes her head. She says no. She says hair does not grow back. She says Anna has to live with her mistake. She says maybe Anna can get new dolls for her birthday. She says maybe Anna can learn to love her dolls the way they are. + +Anna feels sad. She wishes she did not cut her dolls' hair. She wishes she did not use scissors and shampoo. She wishes she listened to mommy. She hugs her dolls and says sorry to them. She hopes they are not mad at her. She hopes they still love her. + +She puts her dolls on the bed. She covers them with a blanket. She says good night to them. She says she loves them. She says she will be good tomorrow. She crawls into her bed. She feels warm and sleepy. She closes her eyes and dreams of happy dolls. +Lily loved blueberries. She ate them every day for breakfast. She liked how they were sweet and juicy and made her tongue purple. She had a big bowl of blueberries on the table. + +But Lily had a problem. She was allergic to blueberries. She did not know that. Every time she ate them, she felt itchy and sneezy. She thought it was normal. She did not tell anyone. + +One day, she ate too many blueberries. She felt very itchy and sneezy. She started to cough and wheeze. She could not breathe well. She was frightened. She did not know what was happening. + +She ran to her mom and dad. They saw her face was red and swollen. They knew she was allergic. They were scared. They grabbed her and took her to the car. They drove fast to the doctor. + +The doctor gave her a shot and some medicine. He told her she was allergic to blueberries. He told her she could not eat them anymore. He told her she would be okay. + +Lily was sad. She loved blueberries. She did not want to stop eating them. But she did not want to feel itchy and sneezy and frightened again. She decided to try other fruits. She found out she liked strawberries and bananas and grapes. She still missed blueberries, but she was happy and healthy. +Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going on a holiday with their mum and dad. They packed their bags with new clothes and toys. They said goodbye to their grandma and got in the car. + +"Are we there yet?" Lily asked after a while. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to drive for a long time. Why don't you rest your eyes for a bit?" Mum said. + +"But I'm not sleepy!" Lily said. + +"Me neither!" Ben said. + +Mum smiled. "Resting is not only for sleeping. It's also for relaxing and being calm. It helps you feel better and enjoy your holiday more. Do you want to try?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They closed their eyes and took deep breaths. They listened to the music and felt the sun on their faces. They felt peaceful and happy. + +After some time, Dad said, "We're here!" + +Lily and Ben opened their eyes and saw a big house by the sea. They jumped out of the car and ran to the door. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Lily said. + +"Look, there's a swing and a slide!" Ben said. + +They hugged their mum and dad and thanked them for the holiday. + +"You're welcome, my loves. We're so proud of you for resting in the car. You were very patient and polite. Now you can have fun and explore. But remember, rest is also important. Don't forget to take breaks and drink water, okay?" Mum said. + +"Okay, mum. We love you!" Lily and Ben said. + +They ran to the garden and played with their new toys. They had a wonderful holiday and learned to rest when they needed to. +Sara and Tom were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and make castles. Sometimes they found shells and stones that were pretty and shiny. + +"Look, Sara, I found a big shell!" Tom said, holding up a pink and white shell. "It has a hole in it. I can blow into it and make a sound." + +"Wow, Tom, that's a nice shell!" Sara said. "Can I try it?" + +"OK, but be careful. Don't break it," Tom said, handing her the shell. + +Sara put the shell to her mouth and blew hard. She heard a loud sound, like a horn. She smiled and blew again. + +"Hey, what's that noise?" a voice said from the water. Sara and Tom looked up and saw a fish with a long nose and a stripe on its side. It was swimming near the shore. + +"Hello, fish!" Sara said. "We are making sounds with this shell." + +"Hello, kids!" the fish said. "That's a conch shell. It comes from the reef. Do you know what a reef is?" + +"No, what is it?" Tom asked. + +"A reef is a place where many fish and plants and animals live. It is under the water. It is very colorful and beautiful. Some parts are hard and some parts are soft," the fish said. + +"Can we see it?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, if you have goggles and fins. But you have to ask your parents first. They have to allow you to go into the water. It can be deep and dangerous," the fish said. + +"OK, we will ask them. Thank you, fish!" Tom said. + +"You're welcome, kids! Have fun!" the fish said, and swam away. + +Sara and Tom ran to their parents, who were sitting on a blanket. They showed them the shell and told them about the fish and the reef. Their parents agreed to let them go into the water, but only with them. They put on their goggles and fins and followed the fish to the reef. They saw many things that made them happy and curious. They had a wonderful time. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir the soup, cut the bread, and taste the cheese. But she did not like to peel the onions. They made her eyes water and her nose run. + +"Mom, why do we need onions?" she asked, holding a white onion in her hand. + +"Because they make the soup yummy and healthy," her mom said, smiling. "They have a lot of vitamins and flavor. Can you peel one more for me, please?" + +Anna sighed. She did not want to peel another onion. She wanted to play with her doll or read a book. But she loved her mom and wanted to make her happy. So she nodded and started to peel the onion. + +But as she peeled, she felt a tear roll down her cheek. She rubbed her eye with her sleeve, but it only made it worse. She sniffed and sneezed. She looked at her mom with a sad face. + +"Mom, I don't like onions. They hurt my eyes and nose. Can I stop now?" she asked, holding the half-peeled onion. + +Her mom saw her face and felt sorry for her. She hugged her and kissed her forehead. + +"Of course, you can stop, sweetie. You did a great job. Thank you for helping me. Why don't you go and play with your doll or read a book? I'll finish the soup by myself." + +Anna smiled and gave her mom the onion. She ran to her room and picked up her doll. She was happy to play with her and forget about the onions. She hoped the soup would be yummy and healthy, even if it had onions in it. She loved her mom and wanted to make her happy, too. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys on the couch. One day, they have a big fight. Lily wants to play with the doll, but Ben wants to play with the car. They pull and push and yell at each other. + +"Give me the doll!" Lily says. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. + +They are so angry that they do not see Mom coming. Mom is not happy. She sees the toys on the floor and the twins on the couch. She says in a loud voice: + +"Lily and Ben, stop fighting right now! You are making a mess and you are not being good. You need to share and be kind to each other. How would you feel if someone took your toy?" + +Lily and Ben look at Mom. They feel sorry. They know Mom is right. They do not want to make Mom sad. They say: + +"Sorry, Mom. We were bad. We will share and be kind." + +They hug Mom and say they love her. Mom smiles and hugs them back. She says she loves them too. She says: + +"That's good, Lily and Ben. I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you pick up your toys and put them away? Then you can play together nicely on the couch." + +Lily and Ben nod and do what Mom says. They pick up their toys and put them away. Then they sit on the couch and play together nicely. They take turns with the doll and the car. They laugh and talk and have fun. They smile at each other and say: + +"You are my best friend." + +The end. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with blocks. They could build many things with blocks, like houses, towers, bridges and cars. They had fun making different shapes and colors with their blocks. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. His name was Max, and he had a big box of blocks. He was building a huge castle with his blocks, and he had many flags and soldiers and horses. Lily and Ben thought his castle was amazing, and they wanted to play with him. + +"Hi, Max," Lily said. "Can we play with you? Your castle is very nice." + +Max looked at them and frowned. He did not want to share his blocks. He thought they were his and only his. He said, "No, you can't play with me. These are my blocks, and this is my castle. Go away and play with your own blocks." + +Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They thought Max was mean and rude. They had many blocks, but they did not have flags and soldiers and horses. They felt envious of Max and his castle. + +They decided to build their own castle with their blocks. They worked together and helped each other. They used their imagination and creativity. They made their castle bigger and better than Max's castle. They used sticks and leaves and flowers to decorate their castle. They made their own flags and soldiers and horses with paper and crayons. They were proud of their castle, and they had fun playing with it. + +Max saw their castle and was surprised. He thought their castle was more beautiful and fun than his castle. He felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he had been selfish and rude. He had many blocks, but he had no friends. He had wasted his blocks and his time. He wanted to play with Lily and Ben and their castle. + +He walked over to them and said, "Hi, Lily and Ben. I'm sorry I was mean to you. Can I play with you? Your castle is very nice." + +Lily and Ben looked at him and smiled. They forgave him and welcomed him. They said, "Sure, you can play with us. We can share our blocks and our castle. We can be friends." + +They invited Max to join them and play with their castle. They shared their blocks and their paper and their crayons. They made more flags and soldiers and horses. They had fun playing together and making stories. They were happy and friendly. They learned to build not only castles, but also friendships. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play at the park. There are many things to do at the park. There is a slide, a swing, a seesaw and a sandbox. + +One day, Tom and Anna see a new thing at the park. It is a zip line. A zip line is a long rope with a handle. You can hold the handle and slide from one side to the other. It looks fun. + +"Can we try the zip line?" Tom asks Anna. + +"I don't know. It looks high and fast. I am scared," Anna says. + +"Don't be scared. I will go first. You can watch me. Then you can go after me. I will wait for you. It will be fun," Tom says. + +"OK. But you have to hold the handle tight. And don't let go. And don't fall," Anna says. + +"OK. I will. Watch me," Tom says. + +Tom goes to the zip line. He holds the handle tight. He slides from one side to the other. He does not let go. He does not fall. He smiles. He likes the zip line. + +"See? It is fun. Come on, Anna. You can do it. I will hold your hand. We will go together. We will be safe," Tom says. + +Anna goes to the zip line. She holds Tom's hand. She holds the handle tight. She slides from one side to the other. She does not let go. She does not fall. She smiles. She likes the zip line. + +"Wow. That was fun. Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. You helped me. You made me brave," Anna says. + +"You are welcome, Anna. You are a good friend too. You tried something new. You made me happy," Tom says. + +Tom and Anna hug. They are happy. They are friends. They like the park. They like the zip line. They hold hands. They are safe. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their ball. They would roll it to each other, or bounce it, or kick it. Sometimes they would roll it down the hill and run after it, laughing. + +One night, they could not sleep. They heard a noise outside their window. It sounded like a big animal. They were scared. They hugged each other and whispered. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it is a bear." + +They wanted to call their mom and dad, but they did not want to make more noise. They hoped the animal would go away. + +They looked out the window and saw a shadow. It was big and round and furry. It was rolling on the grass. It was their ball! + +The twins realized it was not a bear, but a dog. A friendly dog. It had found their ball and wanted to play with it. It was wagging its tail and making happy sounds. + +The twins felt silly and relieved. They smiled and waved at the dog. The dog saw them and barked. It rolled the ball towards the window. + +"Can we play with him?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe tomorrow," Ben said. "It is night now. We should sleep." + +They said good night to the dog and closed the window. They cuddled with their blankets and closed their eyes. They felt calm and safe. They dreamed of rolling the ball with the dog in the morning. +Lily was sad. She had a bad day at school. Some kids were mean to her and said she was not good at drawing. She wanted to cry. + +When she came home, her mom saw her face and gave her a hug. "What's wrong, my sweetie?" she asked. + +Lily told her mom what happened. Her mom listened and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Those kids were wrong. You are very good at drawing. You have a lot of talent and creativity. You are my famous artist." + +Lily smiled a little. Her mom made her feel better. She comforted her. + +"Would you like a sandwich?" her mom asked. "I made your favorite. Peanut butter and jelly." + +Lily nodded. She loved peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They were yummy and sticky. + +Her mom cut the sandwich in half and gave one piece to Lily. She took the other piece and sat next to her on the couch. + +They ate their sandwiches and talked about happy things. Lily felt happier. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are the best, too." + +Ben is a dog who loves bones. He has a big bone that he found in the park. He likes to chew it and bury it and dig it up again. He thinks he is very smart and no one can take his bone. + +One day, a cat comes to the park. She sees Ben and his bone. She wants to play a trick on him. She says, "Hello, dog. What a nice bone you have. Can I see it?" + +Ben growls and says, "No, this is my bone. Go away, cat. You cannot have it." + +The cat says, "Oh, I don't want your bone. I have a bigger and better bone at home. Do you want to see it?" + +Ben is curious and greedy. He thinks he can have two bones. He says, "Yes, show me your bone, cat. But don't touch mine. I will be back soon." + +The cat says, "OK, follow me. But you have to let me hold your bone while you go. It is too heavy for you to carry." + +Ben is foolish and trusts the cat. He lets her hold his bone and follows her. But the cat is lying. She has no bone at home. She runs away with Ben's bone and hides it in a tree. + +Ben realizes he has been tricked. He barks and chases the cat. But he cannot climb the tree. He loses his bone and his pride. He is very sad and angry. He learns a lesson. He should not be greedy and trust strangers. He should keep his bone and be happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a mailbox near the road, where the mailman came every day. + +One day, Anna and Ben decided to play a trick on the mailman. They found some rough rocks and put them in the mailbox. They thought it would be funny to see his face when he opened it. They hid behind a bush and waited for him to come. + +Soon, they saw the mailman walking down the road with his bag. He stopped at their mailbox and opened it. He reached inside and felt the rough rocks. He frowned and looked around. He saw Anna and Ben giggling behind the bush. He was not happy. He took the rocks out of the mailbox and put them on the ground. He said, "This is not a nice thing to do. You could hurt someone with these rocks. And you could lose your mail. What if someone took it while you were hiding? How would you feel then?" + +Anna and Ben felt ashamed. They realized they had done a bad thing. They ran out of the bush and said they were sorry. They asked the mailman to forgive them. He nodded and smiled. He said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But don't do it again. And be careful with your mail. It could disappear if you don't watch it." + +Anna and Ben thanked the mailman and promised to be good. They helped him put the mail in the mailbox and closed it. They learned their lesson. They never played tricks on the mailman again. They also checked their mail every day and kept it safe. They knew that mail was important and they didn't want to lose it. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They take turns to kick the ball and fly the kite. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He sees Tom and Anna's ball and kite. He wants to play with them. He says, "Give me your ball and kite. They are mine now." + +Tom and Anna are scared. They say, "No, they are not yours. They are ours. We are playing with them. Go away." + +The big boy is angry. He pushes Tom and Anna. He grabs the ball and the kite. He runs away. + +Tom and Anna are sad. They cry. They wonder why the big boy is so mean. They want their ball and kite back. + +A lady sees what happens. She is Tom and Anna's teacher. She knows the big boy. She says, "Stop, Sam. That is not nice. You cannot take things that are not yours. You have to give them back." + +She runs after Sam. She catches him. She makes him give back the ball and the kite. She says, "Say sorry to Tom and Anna. You have to share and be kind." + +Sam is ashamed. He says, "Sorry, Tom and Anna. I was wrong. Can I play with you?" + +Tom and Anna are not sure. They look at their teacher. She says, "It is up to you. You can let him play with you, or you can say no. What do you think?" + +Tom and Anna think. They decide to let Sam play with them. They say, "OK, you can play with us. But you have to be nice. And you have to take turns." + +Sam says, "Thank you, Tom and Anna. I will be nice. And I will take turns." + +They all play together. They have fun. They are friends. + +Sara and Ben were hungry. They wanted a snack. Mom said they could have some bread and jam. Sara and Ben liked jam. It was sweet and sticky. + +Sara and Ben went to the kitchen. They saw the bread and the jam on the table. They also saw a knife. Sara said, "I can spread the jam. I am big." Ben said, "No, I can spread the jam. I am bigger."

It was good. They were happy. They hugged Mom. Mom hugged them back. She was happy too. + + + + + +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big purple slide. It looked very fun and shiny. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Max said. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. + +"Wait, Max!" Lily said. She saw a sign next to the slide. It had a picture of a sad face and some words. She could not read the words, but she knew they were a warning. "The slide might be bad. The sign says so." + +Max did not listen to Lily. He thought she was scared. He wanted to show her he was brave. He smiled and said, "Don't be silly, Lily. The slide is good. Watch me!" He slid down the slide very fast. + +But the slide was not good. It was too slippery and steep. Max could not stop. He slid off the end of the slide and fell on the ground. He hurt his knee and cried. + +Lily ran to Max and hugged him. She was sorry for him. She said, "I told you the slide was bad, Max. You should have listened to me. I was trying to warn you." + +Max felt bad. He knew Lily was right. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are a good friend. You care about me. I should have listened to you. I was not brave. I was silly." + +Lily and Max learned a lesson. They learned to listen to warnings and to be careful. They also learned to be kind and forgive each other.

They like to play in the garden. They have a dog named Spot. Spot is big and brown and likes to dig. + +One day, Tom and Lily find a box in the garden. The box is shiny and smooth. They open the box and see many shiny things inside. They are coins and rings and necklaces. Tom and Lily are happy. They think they are rich. + +They want to keep the shiny things. But they are afraid that someone will take them. They decide to bury the box in the garden. They dig a big hole with Spot's help. They put the box in the hole and cover it with dirt. They pat the dirt and make it smooth. They think no one will find the box. + +But they forget to mark the spot where they bury the box. The next day, they want to look at the shiny things again. But they cannot remember where they bury the box. They look everywhere in the garden. They dig many holes. But they cannot find the box. + +They are sad and tired. They sit on the grass and cry. Spot comes to them and licks their faces. He tries to cheer them up. He runs to a corner of the garden and starts to dig. He digs and digs and digs. He finds the box. He brings the box to Tom and Lily. He wags his tail and barks. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They hug Spot and thank him. They open the box and play with the shiny things.

It was a yacht. + +"Wow, look at that boat!" Tom said. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"I want to go on that boat!" Sue said. "Maybe we can find the owner and ask him." + +They ran along the shore, following the yacht. They hoped to see someone on the boat who could let them on. But they did not recognize anyone. The boat was too far away. + +They came to a pier where there were many other boats. Some were small and some were big. Some had sails and some had motors. They looked for the yacht, but they could not find it. They were sad. + +"Where did it go?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know," Sue said. "Maybe it sailed away to another place." + +They were about to go back to their bucket and shovel, when they heard a voice. + +"Hey, kids, do you like boats?" + +They turned around and saw a man with a blue hat and a red shirt. He was smiling and holding a rope. + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Sue said. + +"Well, I have a surprise for you. Do you see that yacht over there?" The man pointed to a long boat with a white sail that was tied to the pier. It was the same boat they had seen on the water. + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Sue said. + +"That's my boat. And I'm looking for some helpers to go on a ride with me. Do you want to come?" + +Tom and Sue looked at each other. They could not believe their luck. They nodded and smiled. + +"Yes, we do!"

Sometimes they find shells and stones and put them on their castles. + +One day, they see a big worm in the sand. It is long and flexible and moves fast. Tom wants to catch it and put it in his bucket. He thinks it is funny and cool. Mia does not like the worm. She thinks it is icky and scary. She does not want it in her bucket. + +"Let me have the worm, Mia!" Tom says. He tries to grab it from the sand. + +"No, Tom, don't!" Mia says. She pulls her bucket away from him. "The worm does not want to be in your bucket. It wants to be in the sand. Let it go!" + +Tom and Mia start to argue. They tug and push and shout. The worm wriggles and squirms and tries to get away. It does not like to be in the middle of the fight. + +Then they hear a voice. It is their mom. She comes to the sand pit and sees them. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing, Tom and Mia?" she asks. "Why are you fighting over a worm?" + +Tom and Mia stop and look at their mom. They feel ashamed. They know they should not fight. + +"We are sorry, mom," they say. "We wanted to play with the worm, but we did not agree." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "The worm is not a toy. It is a living thing. It has feelings and needs. You should be kind and gentle to it. Let it go back to the sand, where it belongs." + +Tom and Mia nod and say, "Okay, mom." They let the worm go and watch it disappear in the sand. They say, "Bye, worm. Have a good day." + +Then they hug each other and say, "We are sorry, too.

She liked the colors and the shapes of the beads. + +"Look, I made a necklace!" she said to her brother Tom, who was playing with his cars. + +"Let me see," Tom said.

Please, Tom, give it back!" + +Tom did not want to give it back. He liked the necklace too. He ran away with it, laughing. Lily ran after him, crying. + +"Stop, Tom, stop!" she shouted.

The beads flew everywhere. + +Lily and Tom both gasped. They looked at the broken necklace and the scattered beads. They felt sorry and sad. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I was wrong. I should have given it back to you." + +"I'm sorry, too," Lily said. "I should have let you see it. It was nice of you to like it." + +They hugged each other and said they were sorry again.

You will feel better and have more energy to play later." + +Lila did not answer. She stayed under the bed and hoped her mom would go away. She did not know that her mom had a key to the door. She heard the door open and saw her mom's feet walk into the room. She felt scared and started to tremble. + +Her mom looked around the room and saw the bed. She lifted the blanket and saw Lila's face. She smiled and said, "There you are, my sweet girl. Why are you hiding under the bed? Are you afraid of something?" + +Lila did not smile. She said, "I don't want to take a nap. I want to play. Naps are for babies. I am a big girl." + +Her mom said, "I know you are a big girl, but even big girls need naps sometimes. Naps help you grow and learn and dream. They are not for babies. They are for everyone. And you know what? When you wake up from your nap, I have a surprise for you. A new toy that you will love." + +Lila's eyes widened. She liked surprises and new toys. She wondered what it was. She said, "What is it? What is the surprise?" + +Her mom said, "You will see when you wake up. But first, you have to take your nap. Come on, let's go to your bed. I will read you a story and sing you a song. Then you can close your eyes and sleep." + +Lila thought for a moment. She still did not like naps, but she was curious about the surprise. She decided to give it a try. She said, "Okay, mom. I will take my nap. But only for a little while. And then you will show me the surprise." + +Her mom said, "Deal. Come on, let's go." She took Lila's hand and led her to the bed. She tucked her in and kissed her forehead. She read her a story and sang her a song. Lila felt cozy and warm. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. + +She did not know that the surprise was a new doll that looked just like her. She would find out when she woke up. And she would be very happy. +Tim and Mia are friends who like to play in the farm. One day, they see a big bull in the field. The bull has horns and a ring in his nose. He looks angry and strong. + +"Wow, look at the bull!" Tim says. "He is so big and scary!" + +"I want to examine him," Mia says. "I want to see his horns and his ring. Maybe he is friendly." + +"No, Mia, don't go near the bull!" Tim says. "He is dangerous. He can hurt you with his horns. He can run fast and chase you. He is not a toy. He is an important animal for the farmer." + +But Mia does not listen to Tim. She is curious and brave. She walks slowly to the bull. She wants to touch him and talk to him. She thinks he is lonely and bored. + +The bull sees Mia coming. He does not like strangers. He does not like children. He thinks they are noisy and annoying. He snorts and stamps his feet. He lowers his head and shakes his horns. He warns Mia to go away. + +Mia does not understand the bull. She thinks he is playing with her. She smiles and says, "Hello, bull. I am Mia. You are very pretty. Can I be your friend?" + +The bull is angry. He does not want to be friends with Mia. He wants to be left alone. He charges at Mia. He runs fast and loud.

He sees the bull chase her. He is worried and brave. He runs to help Mia. He picks up a stick and waves it at the bull. He shouts, "Go away, bull! Leave Mia alone!

He backs away and leaves Mia alone. + +Mia runs to Tim. She hugs him and says, "Thank you, Tim. You saved me. You are my hero. I am sorry I did not listen to you. You were right.

Next time, please listen to me. I know some things. I want to protect you." + +They walk away from the field. They hold hands and smile. They are happy and safe. They are friends. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with rope. They can make rope into many things.

They think of a new game. They call it rope jump. + +Sara and Tom take turns to hold the rope and swing it. The other one has to jump over the rope. They count how many times they can jump. Sara can jump five times. Tom can jump six times. They are both proud. + +But then, Tom wants to jump more. He wants to jump seven times. He tells Sara to swing the rope faster and higher. Sara tries to do what Tom says. But the rope is too big and heavy. She cannot swing it well. + +Tom runs and jumps. But he is too late. The rope hits his legs. He falls down. He hurts his knees and elbows. He cries. Sara drops the rope. She runs to Tom. She is sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" + +Tom is angry. He does not want Sara to help him. He says, "Go away, Sara. You are a bad friend. You made me fall. You are not good at rope jump. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Sara is sad. She does not understand why Tom is so mean. She says, "But Tom, I was trying to do what you wanted. I did not mean to hurt you. I thought we were having fun. I thought we were friends." + +Tom does not listen. He gets up and walks away. He leaves Sara alone with the big rope. Sara cries. She does not want to play with rope anymore. She wishes she had a better friend. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big sack on a bench. They ran to the sack and opened it. Inside the sack, there were many books. + +"Books are boring!" Ben said. He threw a book on the ground. + +"No, books are fun!" Mia said. She picked up a book and looked at the pictures. "This book has a story about a princess and a dragon. Do you want to hear it?" + +Ben shook his head. He did not like stories about princesses and dragons. He wanted to play something else. He saw a ball near the swings. He decided to go to the ball and kick it. + +Mia decided to stay with the books.

Max likes to play with Anna and follow her everywhere. Anna gives Max hugs and treats and toys. + +But Max is also a spoiled dog. He does not like to share his things with other dogs.

Max watches them and feels jealous. He wants the ball too. He runs to the boy and snatches the ball from his hand. He runs away with the ball in his mouth. + +"Hey, that's my ball!" the boy cries. He chases after Max, but Max is faster. He runs to a corner of the park and starts to tear the ball with his teeth. He makes holes and rips in the ball. He thinks he is having fun, but he is being naughty. + +Anna sees what Max is doing and feels sad. She runs to Max and tries to take the ball from him. She says, "No, Max, bad dog! You can't tear the boy's ball. That's not nice. You have to give it back." + +But Max does not listen. He growls and holds the ball tighter. He does not want to give it back. He thinks it is his ball now. + +Anna's mom sees what is happening and comes to help. She says, "Max, drop it. Drop the ball now." She uses a stern voice that Max knows means business. Max drops the ball and looks at Anna's mom. He knows he is in trouble. + +Anna's mom picks up the ball and gives it to the boy. She says, "I'm so sorry, honey. Max is a spoiled dog. He does not know how to share. He ruined your ball. We will buy you a new one, okay?" + +The boy looks at the ball and sees how torn it is. He feels sad and angry. He says, "Thank you, but I liked this ball. It was my favorite. Max is a bad dog. He should not tear other people's things." + +Anna feels sorry for the boy and for Max. She says, "I'm sorry, too. Max is not a bad dog. He is a good dog, but he sometimes does bad things. He needs to learn how to share and be nice. I will teach him, I promise." + +Anna's mom nods and smiles. She says, "That's very kind of you, Anna. Sharing and being nice are important. Maybe you and Max can make friends with the boy and his dog. What do you think?" + +Anna thinks that is a good idea. She says, "Yes, mom. I think that would be nice. What is your name, boy? And what is your dog's name?" + +The boy says, "My name is Ben. And this is my dog, Spot.

Her name is Annie. Do you want to play with her, Lily?" + +Lily nods. She likes dolls. She takes Annie from mom. + +"What about you, Max? Do you want to play with this car? It was your dad's. He loved to race it." + +Max shakes his head. He does not like cars. He likes balls. + +"I want to play with the ball," he says. + +Mom shrugs. She does not mind. + +"Okay, you can play with the ball. But be careful not to break anything else." + +She helps them clean up the mess and the broken box.

They play with Annie and the car and the ball. They have fun. + +They are happy and healthy. They love their mom and their family. They love their old and new things. +Tom was a restless boy. He did not like to sit still or be quiet. He always wanted to play and run and make noise. He did not listen to his mom or dad or teacher. He did not care about other people's things or feelings. + +One day, Tom was at his grandma's house. He was bored and cranky. He did not want to read or draw or watch TV. He wanted to go outside and play with his ball. But his grandma said no. It was too cold and wet outside. She told him to stay inside and be good. + +Tom did not listen. He sneaked out of the living room and went to his grandma's bedroom. He saw a big, soft, fluffy cushion on her bed. He thought it looked like a fun toy. He grabbed it and threw it in the air. He caught it and threw it again. He laughed and shouted. + +He did not see his grandma's cat, Fluffy, sleeping on the bed. Fluffy was old and sick. He did not like loud noises or sudden movements.

He ran out of the bedroom, crying and bleeding. He ran into his grandma, who was coming to check on him. She saw his face and the cushion and the cat. She was shocked and sad.

He made the cushion dirty and torn. + +Tom had a bad day. He did not have any fun. He did not make any friends. He did not learn anything. He did not feel better. He only felt worse.

They saw a big bridge that crossed the water and wanted to go on it. But their mom said no, it was too busy and dangerous. There were many cars and trucks that went fast and loud on the bridge. + +"Please, mom, can we go on the bridge?" Tim asked. "We will be careful and hold hands." + +"No, Tim, you are too small and the bridge is too big. You can play here on the grass and relax. Look, there are some ducks and flowers to see." Mom said. + +But Tim and Sam did not listen to mom. They waited until she was busy talking on the phone and then they ran to the bridge. They thought it was fun to see the cars and trucks and hear the horns. They did not see the sign that said "No Pedestrians". + +A big truck was coming fast on the bridge.

It is very old and fragile. You have to be careful with it." + +He bends down and shows her his guitar. He points to the strings and the holes and the knobs. He says, "This is how I make different sounds. I pluck the strings with my fingers or a pick. I press the strings on the frets to change the notes. I turn the knobs to tune the guitar. And I blow into this thing to make a harmonica sound. Do you know what a harmonica is?" + +Lily shakes her head. She does not know what a harmonica is. She only knows what a guitar is. + +The man says, "A harmonica is a small instrument that you play with your mouth. It has many holes and metal pieces inside.

He got wet himself. + +Lily saw a towel hanging on the fence. She had an idea. She grabbed the towel and ran towards Tom. + +"Ha! I got you, Tom!" Lily said. She threw the towel over Tom's head and wrapped it around him. + +Tom couldn't see anything. He felt the towel on his face and body. He tried to get out, but he couldn't. + +"Let me go, Lily! This is stupid! I can't breathe!" Tom said. He mumbled under the towel. + +Lily laughed. She thought it was funny. She let go of the towel and ran away. + +Tom took off the towel and looked at Lily.
