He kept getting the knot wrong, but eventually he learned how to do it. Sam was so happy that he had made a knot all by himself. +Izzy smiled and said, "See? Making a knot isn't so hard!" +John was walking down a row of houses. He saw that one of the houses did not have anything in the front window.

She was happy when she painted. + +One day, she saw a birdcage in the garden. It was big and shiny and smooth. It had no bird inside. Lily wanted to paint the birdcage. She thought it would look pretty with colors. + +She took her paints and brushes and went to the garden. She started to paint the birdcage. She painted it red and blue and yellow and green. She smiled and sang. + +But then, she heard a loud voice. It was her dad. He was angry. He saw the birdcage and Lily's paints. He said, "Lily, what have you done? This is not your birdcage. This is Mr. Lee's birdcage. He lent it to me for a day. He loves his birdcage. He will be very upset when he sees this. You have to clean it now!" + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not know it was Mr. Lee's birdcage. She did not want to make him upset. She did not want to clean the birdcage. She liked her painting. She cried and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted to paint. I thought it was a nice birdcage. Please don't be mad at me." + +Dad saw Lily's tears and felt sorry for her. He said, "I know you like to paint, Lily. But you have to ask before you paint something that is not yours. And you have to respect other people's things. Mr. Lee is very fond of his birdcage. He keeps it smooth and shiny. He will be sad if he sees it painted. Come on, let's clean it together. And then, I will buy you a new birdcage for your own. You can paint it however you want. How does that sound?" + +Lily nodded and wiped her eyes. She said, "Thank you, dad. I'm sorry, Mr. Lee. I will help you clean the birdcage. And I will be careful next time. I love you, dad." + +Dad hugged Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good girl. And a good painter. Let's go and make the birdcage smooth and shiny again." +Tim and Kim liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of cards. The cards had pictures of animals on them. Tim and Kim liked to match the cards that had the same animal. + +One day, they found a new card in the box. It had a picture of a reindeer. A reindeer was a big animal with horns and fur. Tim and Kim had never seen a reindeer before. They wondered if there was another card with a reindeer in the box. + +They looked and looked, but they could not find a match. They asked their mom, but she did not know where the card came from. She said maybe it was a gift from someone. Tim and Kim were curious. They wanted to find out who gave them the card and why. + +The next day, they heard a knock on the door. They ran to see who it was. They opened the door and saw a man with a red suit and a white beard. He had a big bag of presents and a sleigh. Behind the sleigh, there were eight reindeer. They looked just like the card! + +The man smiled and said, "Hello, Tim and Kim. I'm Santa Claus. I'm here to give you some gifts. I also have something for you to match your card. It's a special reindeer. His name is Rudy. He has a red nose that glows. He's very friendly, but he's also very filthy. He needs a bath and a brush. Do you want to help me?" + +Tim and Kim were amazed and excited. They nodded and said yes. They followed Santa to the sleigh and met Rudy. He was dirty and smelly, but he was also cute and happy. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. Tim and Kim hugged him and said thank you. + +They helped Santa wash and groom Rudy. They used soap and water and a big comb. They made him shiny and clean. They also gave him some carrots and cookies. Rudy liked them very much. He snorted and nuzzled them. + +Tim and Kim matched their card with a real reindeer. They had a lot of fun with Santa and Rudy. They learned that reindeer were not just pictures, but living creatures. They also learned that Santa was not just a story, but a real person. They were very happy and grateful. They said goodbye to Santa and Rudy and wished them a merry Christmas. They went back to their house and played with their toys. They put the card and the reindeer next to each other. They were a perfect match. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna was a musician. She had a guitar and a hat. Lily liked to sing with Anna and pretend they were on a stage. + +One day, Lily's brother Tom came into her room. He saw Lily and Anna playing. He said, "Can I play with you?" Lily said, "No, you can't. You are too loud and messy. You will break Anna's guitar and hat. Go away!" + +Tom was angry. He said, "You are mean. I don't like you. I will take Anna away from you. She will be my doll. I will marry her and we will be happy." He grabbed Anna from Lily's hands and ran away. + +Lily was sad. She cried and shouted, "Give me back Anna! She is my doll! You can't marry her! She doesn't like you!" She chased Tom around the house. Tom was faster and stronger. He locked himself in his room with Anna. + +Lily knocked on the door. She said, "Please, Tom, give me back Anna. I love her. She is my best friend. I will share my toys with you. I will be nice to you. Please, please, please." Tom heard Lily's voice. He felt sorry. He opened the door and said, "Okay, Lily, I will give you back Anna. I was wrong. I don't want to marry her. She is your doll. You are her musician. I am sorry." + +Lily hugged Tom and said, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. You are my brother. I love you." She took Anna and kissed her. She said, "I missed you, Anna. You are my musician. I am your careful friend. Let's play together." Tom smiled and said, "Can I play with you?" Lily said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful with Anna's guitar and hat. And you have to sing with us." Tom said, "Okay, I will. I like music. You are a good sister." They played happily and sang songs. +Tom and Jen were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They pretended to be chefs and cooked with pots and pans. One day, they found a big pan on the stove. It was shiny and round. They wanted to use it for their game. + +"Let me have it!" Tom said. He grabbed the handle of the pan. + +"No, it's mine!" Jen said. She pulled the other side of the pan. + +They both pulled hard. The pan slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. It made a loud noise. It also hit a switch on the stove. The switch turned on the fire. + +Tom and Jen did not see the fire. They were too busy fighting over the pan. They did not hear their mom coming into the kitchen. She smelled the smoke and saw the flames. + +"Tom! Jen! Get away from the stove!" she shouted. She ran to the stove and turned off the fire. She picked up the pan and put it in the sink. She was angry and scared. + +"Mom, we're sorry!" Tom and Jen said. They hugged their mom and cried. + +"Sorry is not enough!" their mom said. "You could have burned the house down! You could have hurt yourselves! You should never play with the stove or the pans. They are not toys. They are dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Jen nodded. They felt ashamed and sorry. They learned their lesson. + +Their mom hugged them back. She was glad they were safe. She was also clever. She had an idea. + +"I have a better game for you," she said. "Why don't you help me make some cookies? You can use the bowls and the spoons and the cookie cutters. They are safe and fun. And you can share them with each other. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Jen smiled. They liked cookies. They liked to help their mom. They liked to share. They agreed to play the new game. + +They followed their mom to the table. They forgot about the pan. They learned to be careful and kind. They had a happy day. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find worms and bugs. Sara had a red bucket and Ben had a blue one. They filled their buckets with dirt and water and made mud pies. + +"Look, I made a big mud pie!" Sara said, showing her bucket to Ben. "It has a cherry on top!" + +"That's not a cherry, that's a rock!" Ben said, laughing. "My mud pie is better. It has chocolate chips!" + +They argued about whose mud pie was better, until they heard a loud noise. It sounded like water gushing out of a pipe. They looked around and saw a big leak in the garden hose. Water was spraying everywhere, making a puddle on the grass. + +"Uh-oh, we have to stop the leak!" Sara said, dropping her bucket. "Dad will be mad if we waste water!" + +They ran to the hose, but it was too hard to turn off. The water was too strong and wet. They got soaked and muddy. They tried to pull the hose, but it slipped from their hands. They fell on the ground, splashing in the water. + +"Help, help!" they shouted, hoping someone would hear them. + +Mom heard them from the kitchen. She looked out of the window and saw the mess. She ran outside with a towel. She turned off the faucet and stopped the leak. She wrapped the towel around Sara and Ben and hugged them. + +"Are you okay, my little ones?" she asked, worried. + +"We're okay, Mom," Sara said, shivering. "But we're sorry. We didn't mean to make a leak." + +"It's okay, honey. Accidents happen. But you have to be careful with the hose. It can be dangerous," Mom said, gently. + +"We know, Mom. We'll be careful next time," Ben said, nodding. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She took them inside to dry them off and change their clothes. She gave them hot chocolate and cookies. She told them a story about when she was a little girl and made mud pies with her brother. She said they also had a leak once and got in trouble. + +Sara and Ben listened to Mom's story. They felt warm and cozy. They were not frightened anymore. They remembered their mud pie adventure and laughed. They learned a lesson and had fun. They loved Mom and each other. They were happy. +Tommy liked to draw with his crayons. He drew many things, like cars, animals, and houses. He was very proud of his drawings. He thought they were original and beautiful. + +One day, he wanted to show his drawings to his neighbor, Lily. Lily was a girl who lived next door. She also liked to draw, but she used different colors and shapes. Tommy knocked on her door and asked if she wanted to see his drawings. + +Lily said yes and invited him in. She looked at his drawings and said they were boring and ugly. She said her drawings were better and more original. She took his crayons and started to draw over his drawings. She made them look different and messy. + +Tommy was very sad and angry. He asked her to stop and give back his crayons. He tried to explain that his drawings were his and he liked them the way they were. He said she was not a good friend and she was mean. + +Lily did not listen and kept drawing. She said she was helping him and making his drawings more original. She said he was a bad artist and he should thank her. + +Tommy cried and ran away. He went back to his house and told his mom what happened. His mom hugged him and said she was sorry. She said Lily was wrong and rude. She said Tommy's drawings were original and beautiful. She said he should not let anyone change them or hurt his feelings. She said he should find a better friend who respects him and his art. + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches that everyone has their own style and taste in art, and that we should respect and appreciate each other's creativity and expression. It also teaches that we should not let anyone bully us or ruin our work, and that we should stand up for ourselves and our feelings. It also teaches that we should be kind and supportive to our friends, and not try to impose our views or preferences on them. +Mia and Leo were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and climb. They also liked to rock on the big horse. The horse was brown and had a soft mane. Mia and Leo took turns to rock on the horse. + +"Look at me, I'm a cowboy!" Leo said, as he rocked fast and held the reins. + +"You're very good, Leo. Can I be a cowgirl?" Mia asked, as she waited for her turn. + +"Sure, Mia. You can be a cowgirl. Here, you can wear my sunglasses. They make you look cool." Leo said, as he got off the horse and gave his sunglasses to Mia. + +"Thank you, Leo. You're very kind." Mia said, as she put on the sunglasses and got on the horse. She rocked slowly and smiled. + +"You're welcome, Mia. You're very compassionate. You always share your toys with me."

She asked her mom to help her. + +"Mom, can you teach me how to draw better?" Anna said. + +"Sure, honey. I can show you some tips. But you have to promise me something." Mom said. + +"What is it, mom?" Anna asked. + +"You have to promise me that you will always enjoy drawing, no matter what. Drawing is a way to express yourself and have fun. It doesn't matter if your drawings are perfect or not. What matters is that you like them and that they make you happy." Mom said. + +"I promise, mom. I love drawing. It makes me happy." Anna said. + +"Good. Now, let me see your drawings. Hmm, they are very colorful and creative. I like them. But I can help you improve them a little bit. For example, you can use different shapes to make your flowers more varied. And you can use shading to make your animals more 3D. And you can use perspective to make your people look more distant or close. Do you know what these words mean?" Mom said. + +Anna shook her head. She did not know what these words meant. They sounded hard and complicated. + +"Don't worry. I will explain them to you and show you how to use them. It's not hard. It's fun. You just have to practice and experiment. Here, let me give you a new sheet of paper and some more crayons. Are you ready?" Mom said. + +Anna nodded. She was ready. She wanted to learn and improve. She took the paper and the crayons and followed mom's instructions. She drew a new picture with more shapes, shading and perspective. She was proud of her picture. It looked more real and interesting. She showed it to mom. + +"Wow, Anna. You did a great job. You improved your drawing a lot. I'm very proud of you. You are a very talented and smart girl."

They shout and laugh. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a red hat and a blue coat. He looks serious. He does not smile or talk. He sits on a bench and eats soup from a thermos.

He finishes his soup and puts the thermos away. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They think the boy does not like them. They go back to the slide. They do not shout or laugh. They slide down slowly and quietly. + +The boy watches them. He feels lonely. He wishes he had friends. He does not know how to make friends. He is shy and scared. He thinks no one likes him.

They play in the park until it is time to go home. They say goodbye and promise to see each other again. They are happy. They have a new friend. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy animals. They liked to pretend they were in the jungle and had adventures. Lily had a big elephant and Tom had a small monkey. + +"Let's deliver some bananas to the other animals," Tom said. He put some yellow bananas in a basket and gave it to his monkey. "You can fly with the basket and drop the bananas to the lions and the zebras." + +Lily shook her head. "No, that's not a good idea. The monkey is too small and the basket is too heavy. He will fall and hurt himself. And the lions and the zebras don't like bananas. They like meat and grass." + +Tom was stubborn. He did not listen to Lily. He said, "The monkey can do it. He is strong and smart. And the lions and the zebras will be happy to get a surprise. Come on, let's go." + +He made his monkey fly with the basket and followed him with his eyes. Lily watched too, but she was worried. She hoped Tom was right. + +But Tom was wrong. The monkey could not fly with the basket. It was too heavy and it made him tired. He dropped the basket and it fell on the head of a lion. The lion was angry and roared. He thought the monkey was trying to hurt him. He chased the monkey and tried to catch him. + +The monkey was scared and ran away. He climbed a tree and hid behind the leaves.

They ran to the tree and called his name. + +"Monkey, monkey, are you okay?" Lily asked. "We are sorry. It was a bad idea to deliver the bananas. Please come down. We will take you home and give you a hug." + +The monkey heard Lily and Tom and peeked from the leaves. He saw their faces and heard their voices. He knew they were his friends and they cared for him. He felt better and came down. He jumped into Tom's arms and hugged him. + +Tom hugged him back and said, "I'm sorry, monkey. I was stubborn and I did not listen to Lily. You are too small and the basket was too heavy. And the lions and the zebras don't like bananas. They like meat and grass. I will not do that again. I will be more careful and kind." + +Lily smiled and said, "It's okay, Tom. We all make mistakes sometimes. The important thing is to learn from them and say sorry. And to be nice to our friends and the animals. They have feelings too, you know." + +Tom nodded and said, "You are right, Lily. You are smart and good. Thank you for being my friend and for helping the monkey. I love you and I love the monkey too." + +Lily and Tom hugged each other and the monkey. They were happy and they learned a lesson. They decided to play something else and to leave the jungle alone. They took their toy animals and went to their room. They had more fun and no more trouble. +Lily loved peanuts. She ate them every day for snack. She liked to crack them open and crunch them in her mouth. She wondered where peanuts came from and how they grew. + +One day, she asked her mom, "Mom, can we grow peanuts in our garden?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, we can try. Peanuts are not like other plants. They grow under the ground, not above. We need to plant some peanut seeds and wait for them to sprout." + +Lily was very enthusiastic. She helped her mom dig some holes in the soil and put the peanut seeds in them. They covered them with dirt and watered them. Lily made a sign that said "Peanuts" and stuck it in the ground. + +Every day, Lily checked on her peanuts. She saw some green leaves poking out of the soil. She was happy and excited. She asked her mom, "When can we eat the peanuts, mom?" + +Her mom said, "Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for the peanuts to grow under the ground. It will take some time. But we can watch the leaves grow bigger and stronger." + +Lily was patient. She watered her peanuts and talked to them. She said, "Grow, peanuts, grow! I can't wait to eat you!" + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, I think it's time to harvest our peanuts. Do you want to help me?" + +Lily nodded and ran to the garden. She grabbed a shovel and started to dig. She was surprised and delighted to see some brown pods attached to the roots of the plants. They were peanuts! + +She pulled them out and showed them to her mom. She said, "Look, mom, we did it! We grew peanuts!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Yes, we did, Lily. You did a great job. Now we can wash them and roast them and eat them. How do you like that?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I like that very much, mom. I love peanuts. And I love you." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They see a big stove. The stove has a knob. The knob can spin. + +"Look, Ben, a knob!" Lily says. "Let's spin it!" + +"No, Lily, don't!" Ben says. "Mom says the stove is hot. It can hurt us. It is bad to touch the stove." + +But Lily does not listen. She spins the knob. She hears a click. She sees a flame. She is scared. + +"Help, Ben, help!" Lily cries. "The stove is on fire!" + +Ben runs to the phone. He calls Mom. He tells her what happened. Mom comes home fast. She turns off the stove. She hugs Lily and Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Lily says. "I was curious. I wanted to spin the knob." + +"I'm glad you are okay, Lily," Mom says. "But you have to be careful. The stove is not a toy. It can be dangerous. You have to listen to me and Ben. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mom, I understand," Lily says. "I won't spin the knob again. I love you, Mom." + +"I love you too, Lily," Mom says. "And I love you, Ben. You were brave and smart. You did the right thing. You are a good brother." + +Lily and Ben smile. They hug Mom. They are sorry and happy. They learn a lesson. They never spin the stove knob again. +Sara liked to help her grandma in the garden. Grandma was elderly and had a sore back. Sara would water the plants and pick the beans. Grandma would smile and say, "You are a good helper, Sara." + +One day, Sara saw a big rabbit in the garden. The rabbit was eating the beans. Sara was angry. She ran to the rabbit and shouted, "Go away, rabbit! These are our beans!" The rabbit was scared and ran away, but not before it bit Sara's finger. Sara cried and ran to Grandma. + +Grandma saw Sara's finger and said, "Oh, poor Sara. You have a boo-boo. Let me see." Grandma washed Sara's finger and put a band-aid on it. She hugged Sara and said, "Don't worry, Sara. Your finger will heal soon. You are brave and strong." + +Sara felt better and said, "Thank you, Grandma. I love you." Grandma said, "I love you too, Sara. And I love our beans. But we have to share them with the animals sometimes. They are hungry and need food too." + +Sara nodded and said, "OK, Grandma. I will share the beans. But can I scare the rabbit away next time?" Grandma laughed and said, "Yes, Sara. You can scare the rabbit away. But be careful and gentle. The rabbit is just doing what rabbits do." Sara smiled and said, "OK, Grandma. I will." They went back to the garden and enjoyed the beans. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They liked to zoom them on the grass and make noises. Sara had a fancy car that was pink and shiny. Ben had a blue car that was old and dirty. + +"Look at my car, Ben. It is so pretty and fast. Your car is ugly and slow," Sara said. She zoomed her car past Ben's car and laughed. + +"That is not nice, Sara. My car may not be fancy, but I love it. It is fun and strong. Your car may be pretty, but it is not kind," Ben said. He zoomed his car after Sara's car and bumped it. + +Sara's car flew off the grass and landed in a big puddle of mud. Sara cried and ran to get her car. It was covered in mud and not shiny anymore. + +"See, Sara. You should not be mean to others. You should be kind and share. Now your car is dirty and sad. Maybe you can learn to be a better friend," Ben said. He zoomed his car to Sara and offered to help her clean her car. + +Sara felt sorry and hugged Ben. She said, "You are right, Ben. I was mean and selfish. I am sorry. Thank you for being a good friend. Can we play together and share our cars?" + +Ben smiled and nodded. He said, "Of course, Sara. We can play together and share our cars. That is what friends do. They are kind and helpful. They do not care if their cars are fancy or not. They care if their friends are happy or not." + +Sara and Ben cleaned their cars and zoomed them on the grass again. They had fun and laughed. They learned to be nice and share. They were happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with kites in the park. They have a red kite and a blue kite. They run and laugh and watch the kites fly high. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the kites and wants to catch them. He barks and runs after the kites.

He is compassionate. He wants to help Tom and Mia. He says, "I'm sorry, my dog is naughty. He likes to chase things. He didn't mean to hurt your kites. I will buy you new kites. What color do you want?" + +Tom and Mia stop crying. They look at the owner. They say, "Thank you, that is very kind. We want a yellow kite and a green kite. They are our favorite colors." + +The owner smiles. He says, "OK, I will get you a yellow kite and a green kite. And I will teach my dog to be good. I will prevent him from chasing kites. He will learn to play with other dogs. He will be happy and friendly." + +Tom and Mia smile. They say, "Thank you, that is very nice. We hope your dog will be happy and friendly too.

He is cute and soft." + +Tom sees the penguin too. He wants the penguin. He says, "No, this is my penguin. He is cool and fast." He tries to take the penguin from Lily. Lily holds the penguin tight. She says, "No, this is my penguin. He is mine." + +They start to pull the penguin. The penguin is sad. He does not like to be pulled. He wants to be free. He wiggles and squirms. He slips out of their hands. He falls on the floor. He rolls and rolls. He passes the cars, the dolls, the blocks and the animals. He reaches the door. He opens the door with his beak. He runs out of the room. He is happy. + +Tom and Lily are shocked. They look at the door. They see the penguin run away. They say, "Oh no, the penguin is gone!" They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, penguin. We did not mean to hurt you. We just wanted to play with you. Please come back." + +They run after the penguin. They call his name. They say, "Penguin, penguin, where are you?" They look for the penguin. They hope to find him and say sorry. They hope he will be their friend.

She picks it and runs to show her mom. + +"Look, mom, look what I found!" she says, holding the tomato in her hand. + +"That's a beautiful tomato, Lily. You did a good job growing it. Do you want to eat it?" her mom asks. + +"Yes, please. Can I have some cheese too?" Lily says. + +"Sure, honey. Let's go to the kitchen and make a snack." her mom says. + +They go to the kitchen and cut the tomato and some cheese. They put them on a plate and sit at the table. Lily takes a big bite of the tomato and smiles. It is juicy and sweet. She eats some cheese too. She feels happy and full. + +"Mom, can I tell you a secret?" she asks. + +"Of course, Lily. What is it?" her mom says. + +"I think the tomatoes can hear me when I talk to them. They like it when I say nice things to them. They grow bigger and redder." Lily says. + +"That's a lovely secret, Lily. I think you have a special bond with the tomatoes. They are lucky to have you as their gardener." her mom says. + +"Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever." Lily says. + +They hug and finish their snack. Lily feels sleepy. She yawns and rubs her eyes. + +"Mom, can I lie down on the couch for a while? I'm sleepy." she says. + +"Sure, honey. You can lie down on the couch and take a nap. I'll cover you with a blanket." her mom says. + +She takes Lily to the couch and tucks her in. She kisses her forehead and whispers. + +"Sweet dreams, Lily. I love you." she says. + +Lily closes her eyes and falls asleep. She dreams of tomatoes and cheese and her mom.

Lily and Ben were curious and wanted to touch it. + +"Look, Ben, what is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, Lily, maybe it's a jellyfish," Ben said. + +"A jellyfish? What is a jellyfish?" Lily wondered. + +"I heard Mom say it's an animal that lives in the water, but it can hurt you if you touch it," Ben explained. + +"Really? How can it hurt you?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, maybe it can bite you or sting you," Ben guessed. + +Lily and Ben decided to stay away from the jellyfish and play with their buckets and shovels instead. They made a big castle out of sand and decorated it with shells and seaweed. + +But then, a big wave came and washed away their castle. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They cried and shouted. + +"Hey, stop crying, it's okay, we can make another castle," Mom said. + +"But we worked so hard on it, and now it's gone," Lily sobbed. + +"I know, honey, but sometimes things get broken or torn by the water or the wind. It's part of nature. We can't control everything," Mom said. + +"Can we control the jellyfish?" Ben asked. + +"No, we can't control the jellyfish either. They are also part of nature. We have to respect them and leave them alone," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom, we understand. We won't touch the jellyfish. But can we make another castle?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can, sweetie. Come on, let's go find some more sand and shells and seaweed. And maybe we'll see some other animals in the water, too," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben smiled and followed Mom. They forgot about the jellyfish and the wave. They had fun making another castle and looking at the water. They learned that nature can be beautiful and scary, but also amazing and surprising. +Bella was a gifted girl who loved to bounce. She had a big ball that she could bounce on all day. She liked to bounce high and low, fast and slow, and make funny noises. She bounced in the park, in the garden, and in her room. + +One day, her mom said, "Bella, I have a surprise for you. We are going to have pizza for dinner. Your favorite!" + +Bella was very happy. She loved pizza. She loved the cheese, the sauce, and the toppings. She said, "Thank you, mom. Can I help you make the pizza?" + +"Of course, you can, my sweet girl. You are so gifted. You can do anything you want. Come, let's go to the kitchen." + +Bella and her mom went to the kitchen. They rolled the dough, spread the sauce, sprinkled the cheese, and added the toppings. Bella chose ham, pineapple, and olives. She said, "This is going to be the best pizza ever. Can I bounce while we wait for it to bake?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, you can. But be careful not to bounce too hard. You don't want to hurt yourself or break anything." + +Bella nodded and ran to her ball. She bounced happily while the pizza baked in the oven. She smelled the yummy pizza and heard the timer beep. She bounced to the table and said, "Pizza time!" + +She and her mom enjoyed the delicious pizza. They shared stories, jokes, and hugs. Bella said, "This is the best day ever. I love you, mom. And I love pizza. And I love to bounce." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Bella. You are my gifted, bouncing, pizza-loving girl." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then Lily saw a big book on the shelf. She wanted to look at the pictures in the book. She climbed on the couch and reached for the book. + +"Stop, Lily!" Ben shouted. "That is Mommy's book. You can't touch it. It is not for us." + +But Lily did not listen. She pulled the book and it fell on the floor. A lot of dust came out of the book and made Lily sneeze. She opened the book and saw that the pages were old and torn. She did not like the book. It was not useful. + +"Look what you did, Lily!" Ben said. "You made a mess. And you ruined Mommy's book. She will be very angry with you." + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to make a mess or ruin the book. She wanted to make Ben happy. She picked up the book and tried to shake off the dust. But the dust did not go away. It stuck to the book and to her hands. + +"Sorry, Ben," Lily said. "I just wanted to see the pictures. I did not know the book was old and dusty. Can you help me fix it?" + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw that she was sorry. He was not angry anymore. He wanted to help Lily. He took the book and said, "It's okay, Lily. We can try to fix it. Maybe we can use some tape and glue. And we can clean the dust with a cloth. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and find some things." + +Lily and Ben went to the kitchen and found some tape, glue and a cloth. They worked together to fix the book and clean the dust. They were careful and gentle. They did their best to make the book look good again. + +When they were done, they put the book back on the shelf. They hoped that Mommy would not notice the damage. They hugged each other and said, "We did it, Lily. We fixed the book. We are useful." + +They smiled and went back to their toys. They continued to play and have fun. They were happy and proud. They learned to be careful with old things and to help each other. They were good friends. +Tom and Lily are squirrels who live in a big tree. They like to play and find nuts in the forest. One day, they see a shiny red nut on the ground. They run to get it, but another squirrel is faster. He grabs the nut and runs away. + +"Hey, that is our nut!" Tom shouts. "Give it back!" + +The other squirrel stops and turns around. He has a mean look on his face. "No, it is mine. I saw it first. Go away!" + +Lily is scared, but Tom is brave. He has an idea. He sees a big stick near him. He picks it up and uses it as a sword. He swings it at the other squirrel and says, "En garde!" + +The other squirrel is surprised. He drops the nut and runs away. Tom and Lily are happy. They pick up the nut and look at it. It is not a real nut. It is a toy nut. It has a button on it. They press the button and the nut makes a funny noise. It sounds like a car horn. + +"Beep beep!" the nut says. + +Tom and Lily laugh. They think the nut is adorable. They decide to keep it as a friend. They take it to their tree and play with it. They name it Beep. They have a lot of fun with Beep. They forget about the mean squirrel. They are happy squirrels. +Lily likes to play with her toy piano. It has many buttons that make different sounds. She can hear loud and soft, high and low, fast and slow. She likes to make her own songs with the buttons. + +One day, Lily's mom comes to her room. She says, "Lily, I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see?" Lily nods and follows her mom. They go to the living room, where there is a big box with a bow. + +Mom says, "This is for you, Lily. You have been so good and you love music so much. Open it and see what it is." Lily tears the paper and opens the box. Inside, there is a real piano. It is shiny and black, with many white and black buttons. + +Lily gasps and claps her hands. She runs to the piano and touches the buttons. They make beautiful sounds, just like her toy piano, but louder and clearer. She smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. I love it. Can I play it?" + +Mom says, "Of course, you can. You can play it anytime you want. I am so proud of you, Lily. You are a very smart and talented girl. Maybe you can be a pianist when you grow up." + +Lily hugs her mom and says, "I love you, mom. You are the best. I want to play you a song." She sits on the stool and plays the buttons. She makes a happy song with her new piano. Mom listens and claps. She is very proud of Lily. Lily is very happy with her piano. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They had many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. + +"Look at my tower, Lily!" Tom said. "It is very tall and strong. It has four eyes on top. They can see everything." + +Lily looked at Tom's tower. She did not like it. She wanted to build her own tower. She wanted to have more blocks. She had an idea. + +She took a big ball and threw it at Tom's tower. The ball hit the tower and made it fall down. The blocks went everywhere. The eyes broke into pieces. + +"Hey!" Tom shouted. "You destroyed my tower! That was not nice. Why did you do that?" + +Lily smiled. She picked up one of the eyes and put it in her mouth. She liked to chew on things. She thought the eye was tasty. + +"I was hungry," she said. "And I wanted more blocks. Your tower had too many blocks. And too many eyes. Eyes are tasty. Yum!" + +Tom was very angry. He did not like Lily. He did not like that she destroyed his tower. He did not like that she ate his eyes. He wanted to get his blocks back. + +He ran to Lily and tried to take the eye from her mouth. Lily did not let him. She bit his hand. Tom cried out in pain. + +"Ow! That hurts! Give me back my eye!" he said. + +"No!" Lily said. "It is mine. Go away!" + +Tom and Lily started to fight. They pulled and pushed and kicked and scratched. They made a lot of noise. They did not hear their mom coming. + +Mom saw Tom and Lily fighting. She saw the broken tower and the blocks and the eyes. She was very upset. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting? Why did you destroy the tower? Why did you eat the eyes? That is not food. That is not nice. That is not how you play." + +Tom and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at mom. They felt sorry. They knew they did something bad. + +"We are sorry, mom," they said. "We were playing with the blocks. But then we got angry. And hungry. And we did not share. And we destroyed the tower. And we ate the eyes. We are sorry." + +Mom sighed. She was not happy. She wanted Tom and Lily to play nicely. She wanted them to share and be kind. She wanted them to use their words and not their teeth. + +She picked up Tom and Lily and hugged them. She loved them very much. But she also wanted them to learn. + +She said, "I love you, Tom and Lily. But you need to say sorry to each other. And you need to clean up this mess. And you need to find something else to eat. Something that is really tasty. And not eyes." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up. They helped mom clean up the blocks and the eyes. They threw away the eyes. They did not want to eat them anymore. They wanted to eat something else. Something that was really tasty. And not eyes. +Sara and Ben liked to play in the park. They had a lot of friends there. They were popular. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to make sand castles in the sandbox. + +One day, it rained a lot. The park was wet and muddy. The sandbox was full of water. It looked like a flood. Sara and Ben were sad. They could not play in the park. + +"Let's go home," Sara said. "There is nothing to do here." + +"No, let's stay," Ben said. "We can still have fun. Look, we can make boats with sticks and leaves. We can sail them in the flood." + +Sara thought for a moment. She liked boats. She decided to try. She and Ben found some sticks and leaves. They made boats. They put them in the water. They watched them float. + +"Wow, this is fun," Sara said. "You are right, Ben. We can still play in the park." + +They smiled at each other. They did not quit. They made the best of the situation. They had fun. They were happy. +Sara was very happy today. She was going to school for the first time. She put on her new dress and her shoes. She asked her mom to help her zip her backpack. She put her teddy bear and her snack inside. + +"Are you ready, Sara?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, mom. I am ready. I want to go to school and make new friends," Sara said. + +They walked to the bus stop and waited for the yellow bus. Sara saw other kids with their moms and dads. She waved at them and smiled. She was not scared. She was excited. + +The bus came and Sara climbed on. She found a seat next to a boy with curly hair. He had a wide grin and a spider-man shirt. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" he asked. + +"I'm Sara. I like your shirt. Spider-man is cool," she said. + +"Thanks. I like your backpack. It has stars and hearts," he said. + +They talked and laughed until they reached the school. They got off the bus and followed the teacher to the classroom. The classroom was big and bright.

They had fun. + +Sara liked school. She liked her teacher and her new friend. She was happy. She couldn't wait to come back tomorrow. +Lila and Ben like to play hide and seek.

He can run fast and look everywhere. + +One day, they see a big hill behind their yard. It is new and has smoke coming out. They are curious and want to see it. They ask their mom if they can go. Their mom says no. She says it is a volcano and it is dangerous. She says they have to stay away from it. + +But Lila and Ben are ignorant. They do not know what a volcano is. They think it is just a big hill. They think it is a good place to hide and seek. They wait for their mom to go inside. Then they sneak out and run to the volcano. + +They start to play hide and seek. Lila hides behind a rock. Ben counts to ten and looks for her. He sees the smoke and hears a loud noise. He thinks it is Lila making a joke. He laughs and runs to the rock. But when he gets there, he does not see Lila. He sees a big hole with fire and lava. He is scared and screams. + +Lila hears Ben scream. She comes out from behind the rock. She sees the fire and lava too. She is scared and screams. They run back to their yard. They see their mom coming out. She is angry and worried. She hugs them and scolds them. She tells them they are ignorant and naughty. She tells them they could have been hurt by the volcano. She tells them they have to listen to her and never go there again. + +Lila and Ben are sorry and ashamed. They say they are sorry and they will never go there again. They say they did not know what a volcano is. They ask their mom to tell them more about it. Their mom calms down and tells them more about it. She tells them it is a mountain that can erupt and spit out fire and rocks. She tells them it is very hot and dangerous. She tells them some people live near volcanoes and have to be careful. She tells them some volcanoes are asleep and some are awake. + +Lila and Ben learn a new word and a new thing. They are not ignorant anymore. They are still curious and want to see more things. But they also know they have to be safe and smart. They do not play hide and seek near the volcano anymore. They play in their yard and have fun. They love their mom and their mom loves them. +Ben and Mia like to go to the beach with Mom and Dad. They play in the sand and splash in the water. Sometimes they see fish and crabs and shells. One day, they see something new. It is pink and long and has many legs. It is a shrimp. + +"Look, Mia, a shrimp!" Ben says. He wants to catch it. He runs after it in the water. But the shrimp is fast. It swims away from Ben. Ben tries to pull it with his hand, but he misses. The shrimp is too fast for him. + +"Let me try, Ben," Mia says. She is older than Ben. She thinks she can catch the shrimp. She runs after it in the water. But the shrimp is fast. It swims away from Mia. Mia tries to pull it with her hand, but she misses. The shrimp is too fast for her. + +"Maybe we can use a net," Ben says. He sees a net on the sand. It belongs to a fisherman. Ben picks up the net and runs to the water. He sees the shrimp. He throws the net over the shrimp. He thinks he has caught it. He pulls the net. + +But the net is empty. The shrimp is gone. It has swum under the net. The shrimp is too fast for the net. + +"Wow, that shrimp is fast," Mia says. She and Ben look at the water. They see the shrimp swimming away. It looks happy and free. + +"Maybe we should let it go," Ben says. He and Mia smile. They like the shrimp. They do not want to hurt it. + +"Bye, shrimp," they say. They wave to the shrimp.

It gets taller and taller. They are happy and proud. + +But then, Max comes along. Max is a big boy. He likes to break things. He sees the tower and smiles. He has a rod in his hand. It is a long and hard stick. + +"Watch out!" Max says. He swings the rod at the tower. He wants to knock it down. + +Lily and Ben scream. They try to stop Max. But they are too late. The rod hits the tower. The blocks fall down. The tower is gone. + +Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They cry and shout at Max. + +"Why did you do that?" Lily asks. "That was our tower. We worked hard on it." + +"Yeah, that was not nice," Ben says. "You are mean and rude." + +Max laughs. He does not care. He likes to make trouble. He runs away with the rod. + +Lily and Ben hug each other. They pick up the blocks. They decide to make another tower. They hope Max will not come back. They still like pink and blue blocks. +Sara was a baby who liked to sleep in her crib. She had a big window in her room, and every morning she saw the sun shine on her toys and books. She smiled and laughed when she saw the bright colors and shapes. + +One day, Sara's mommy came to wake her up. She said, "Good morning, my healthy baby. Do you want to go outside and play?" Sara nodded and clapped her hands. She loved to play outside with her mommy and daddy. + +Mommy took Sara out of her crib and put her in a stroller. She pushed her along the sidewalk, past the flowers and the birds and the cars. Sara saw many things that made her happy. She pointed and said, "Look, mommy, look!" + +But mommy did not look. She was busy talking on her phone. She did not see the big truck that was coming fast. She did not hear the horn that was honking loud. She did not stop at the crosswalk that was red. + +The truck hit the stroller and Sara flew out. She landed on the pavement, hard. She felt a lot of pain. She cried and cried, but mommy did not hear her. Mommy was lying on the ground, too. She was not moving. She was not talking. + +Sara was alone and scared. She wanted her mommy and daddy.

She tells Lily and Ben to do some things for the party. She gives them a list. + +Lily and Ben look at the list. It says: make a cake, blow up balloons, wrap gifts, make cards, and clean the room. Lily and Ben think that is a lot of things. They start to do them. + +Lily likes to be bossy. She tells Ben what to do. She says: you make the cake, I will blow up the balloons. You wrap the gifts, I will make the cards. You clean the room, I will do nothing. + +Ben does not like to be bossy. He wants to do some things too. He says: no, Lily, that is not fair. We have to share the things. We have to work together. We have to have fun. + +Lily and Ben argue. They do not work together. They do not have fun. They make a mess. The cake is burnt, the balloons are popped, the gifts are torn, the cards are scribbled, and the room is dirty. + +Mom comes back. She sees the mess. She is not happy.

They take turns to throw the ball and catch it. + +"Look, Anna, I can bounce the ball to the ceiling!" Ben says. He throws the ball hard and it hits the ceiling with a loud bang. + +"Wow, Ben, that was high!" Anna says. She claps her hands and waits for the ball to come down. But the ball does not come down. It goes into the cupboard above the sink. + +"Oh no, where is the ball?" Ben says. He runs to the cupboard and tries to open it. But the cupboard is too high for him. He cannot reach it. + +"Maybe we can use a chair," Anna says. She finds a chair and pushes it to the cupboard. She climbs on the chair and opens the cupboard. She sees the ball inside, next to some plates and cups. + +"Here it is!" Anna says. She grabs the ball and throws it to Ben. But she throws it too hard and it hits a cup.

She sees the broken cup and the ball on the floor. She is not happy. + +"Sorry, Mom, we were playing with the ball and it bounced into the cupboard and then we broke a cup," Anna says. + +"You should not play with the ball in the kitchen. It is dangerous. And you should not climb on the chair. You could fall and hurt yourself," Mom says. She picks up the ball and the broken cup and puts them away. She gives Anna and Ben a long hug. + +"I love you, but you have to be careful. Next time, play with the ball outside or in your room. And ask me for help if you need something from the cupboard," Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom, we are sorry," Anna and Ben say. They hug Mom back and say they love her too. They go to their room and find another toy to play with. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to watch films on the big TV. Today, they want to watch a film about animals.

"It has big cats and stripes." + +"No, let's watch my film first," Ben says. "It has funny birds and snow." + +They start to argue. They do not want to share the TV. They are impatient. They want to watch their film now. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the living room. She sees the two films on the floor. She sees Anna and Ben with angry faces. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. "Why are you not sharing the TV?" + +Anna and Ben tell Mom about their films. They both want to watch their film first. They do not want to wait. + +Mom shakes her head. She is not happy. She has an idea. + +"How about this?" Mom says. "We can watch both films. But we have to take turns. Anna can watch her film first. Then Ben can watch his film. And we can all enjoy the films together. How does that sound?" + +Anna and Ben think about it. They do not like to wait. But they also do not like to fight. They want to make Mom happy. They want to be good friends. + +"OK, Mom," Anna says. "We can take turns." + +"OK, Mom," Ben says. "We can share the TV." + +Mom smiles. She is proud of Anna and Ben. She puts Anna's film in the TV.

What color do you like?" + +"I like green," Ben says. "They are sour and yummy. What about you?" + +"I like red," Lily says. "They are sweet and chewy. Red is the best color." + +They start to eat the gummy bears. They each take a handful of their favorite color. They chew and smile. + +But then, they see that there are only yellow gummy bears left in the bag. They both stop chewing and frown. + +"Yuck, yellow gummy bears," Lily says. "They are bad. They taste like lemon. I don't like lemon." + +"Me neither," Ben says. "They are too bitter. I don't want them." + +They look at each other. They have a problem. They want more gummy bears, but they don't like the yellow ones. + +"What should we do?" Lily asks. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea. + +"Maybe we can trade them," he says. "Maybe someone else likes yellow gummy bears. Maybe they have a different opinion." + +Lily nods. She thinks it is a good idea. + +"Let's go and ask," she says. + +They take the bag of yellow gummy bears and go outside. They see some other kids playing in the park. They go to them and ask if they want to trade. + +"Hi, do you like gummy bears?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, we do," the kids say. + +"Do you like yellow gummy bears?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, we do," the kids say. "They are our favorite. They are bright and tangy. Yellow is the best color." + +Lily and Ben are surprised.

Red and green are the best colors." + +The kids are excited. They didn't know that some people like red and green gummy bears. They have a different opinion. + +"Wow, really?" the kids say. + +"Yes, really," Lily and Ben say. + +They decide to trade. They give the yellow gummy bears to the kids, and the kids give the red and green gummy bears to Lily and Ben. They are all happy and thank each other. + +They start to eat the gummy bears. They each take a handful of their new color. They chew and smile. + +They learn that different people have different opinions. They learn that it is okay to like different things. They learn that it is fun to share and trade. They learn that gummy bears are delicious. +Lily woke up in the morning. She heard a ring. It was her phone.

They had a big orange ball that bounced high and made a loud sound. They took turns to throw the ball into the hoop, and cheered when they scored. + +One day, they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was black and furry, and had a long tongue and sharp teeth. It barked and growled, and looked angry. Anna and Ben were worried. They did not know the dog, and they did not want it to bite them or take their ball. + +"Let's run away!" Anna said. She grabbed Ben's hand and pulled him towards the gate. But the dog was faster. It jumped and caught the ball in its mouth. It shook the ball and tore it with its teeth. The ball popped and made a loud noise. The dog dropped the ball and ran away. + +Anna and Ben were sad. They looked at their ball. It was flat and ripped. They could not play with it anymore. They wished they had a new ball. + +"Maybe we can ask Mom and Dad for a new ball," Ben said. "Maybe they will buy us one if we are good and do our chores." + +"Maybe," Anna said. "But we have to yield our old ball. We have to say goodbye to it and throw it in the trash." + +They hugged their ball and said goodbye. Then they threw it in the trash and walked home. They hoped they would get a new ball soon. They still liked to play basketball in the park. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They lived on a big farm with many animals and plants. One day, they saw a new flower in the garden. It was big and pink and smelled sweet. + +"Look, Tom, a new flower!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. It bloomed today." + +"Yes, it is pretty," Tom said. "Can we touch it?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, we have to be careful. Mom said some flowers are not for touching. They can hurt us or make us sick." + +Tom nodded. He did not want to get hurt or sick. He wanted to see the flower closer, but he did not touch it. + +They heard a moo from the barn. They turned and saw a cow looking at them. The cow was brown and white and had big horns. + +"Hi, cow!" Lily said. "Do you like the flower too?" + +The cow mooed again and walked towards them. Lily and Tom smiled. They liked the cow. She was friendly and gave them milk. + +The cow reached the flower and sniffed it. She opened her mouth and bit the flower. She chewed and swallowed it. + +"Hey, cow, no!" Tom said. "That was our flower. You ate it!" + +Lily gasped. She felt sad. She liked the flower. She wanted to see it again. + +The cow looked at them and mooed. She did not seem to care. She liked the flower. It tasted good. + +Lily and Tom ran to the house. They told Mom what happened. Mom hugged them and said she was sorry. + +"Don't worry, my loves," Mom said. "There are many more flowers in the garden. They will bloom soon. You can see them and smell them, but be careful not to touch them. And watch out for the cow. She likes to eat flowers." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They felt better. They thanked Mom and went back outside. They played with the other animals and plants. They waited for the new flowers to bloom. They hoped the cow would not eat them. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was barking and running after a ball. + +"Look, a dog!" Lila said. "Can we pet it?" + +Ben was not sure. He was a little scared of dogs. He remembered when a dog bit his finger and it hurt a lot. + +"I don't know, Lila. Maybe it is fierce. Maybe it will bite us." + +Lila was not scared. She loved dogs. She wanted to pet the dog and give it a hug. + +"Come on, Ben. It is a nice dog. See, it is wagging its tail. That means it is happy. Let's go and say hello." + +Lila and Ben walked towards the dog. The dog saw them and ran to them. It licked their faces and wagged its tail more. + +"Hi, doggy. You are so cute. What is your name?" Lila asked. + +The dog barked and jumped. It was very excited to see Lila and Ben. + +"His name is Max. He is my dog. He likes to play and make friends." A voice said. + +Lila and Ben turned and saw a boy with a red cap and a blue shirt. He was holding a ball. + +"Hi, I am Tom. Do you want to play with me and Max?" He asked. + +Lila and Ben smiled and nodded. They liked Tom and Max. They entered the game and threw the ball for Max. Max fetched the ball and brought it back. They took turns to pet Max and give him a hug. They had a lot of fun. + +They made new friends in the park. They were not scared of dogs anymore. They learned that dogs can be nice and not fierce. They were happy. +Sam and Lily liked to play in the garden. They liked to dig and find rocks. Some rocks were shiny, some were smooth, some were rough. Sam and Lily liked to pretend they were treasure hunters. + +One day, they found a big rock that was very hard and had many colors. They thought it was a mineral. They wanted to keep it and show it to their mom and dad. + +"Look, Lily, this is a beautiful mineral!" Sam said. "It is so hard and sparkly. Maybe it is a diamond or a ruby." + +"Wow, Sam, it is amazing!" Lily said. "Can I hold it for a while?" + +"OK, but be careful. It is very heavy and sharp. Don't drop it or hurt yourself." Sam said. He gave the mineral to Lily. + +Lily was very happy. She held the mineral in her hands and looked at it closely. She saw red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. She thought it was the most pretty thing she ever saw. + +She wanted to wear it like a necklace. She found a string and tied it around the mineral. She put it on her neck and smiled. + +"Look, Sam, I am wearing the mineral!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and shiny. I look like a princess." + +Sam looked at Lily. He was angry. He wanted the mineral back. He thought Lily was being greedy and selfish. + +"Give me back the mineral, Lily!" Sam said. "It is mine! I found it first! You can't wear it! It is too big and heavy for you!" + +"No, Sam, it is mine now!" Lily said. "I like it! It is so pretty and shiny. I want to wear it!" + +Sam and Lily started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not listen to each other. They did not share. + +The string broke. The mineral fell to the ground. It broke into many pieces. The pieces were sharp and hard. They cut Sam and Lily's hands and feet. They made them bleed. + +Sam and Lily cried. They were hurt and sad. They lost the mineral. They did not have fun. They did not have treasure. They did not have friends. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red fire truck. They liked to pretend they were firefighters and save people from fires. + +One day, they heard a loud alarm from the kitchen. It was the smoke detector. Something was burning. Lily and Ben ran to see what was wrong. They saw their mom holding a blackened pot and waving a towel. She looked scared and angry. + +"Mom, what happened?" Lily asked. + +"I was making soup, but I forgot to watch it. It burned and made a lot of smoke. I'm sorry, kids. It's not safe to play here right now. We need to go outside and wait for the firemen," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They grabbed their fire truck and followed Mom outside. They saw other people from their building doing the same. They smelled the smoke and heard the sirens. + +"Look, Mom, the firemen are here!" Ben said, pointing to the big yellow truck. + +"Yes, they are. They are very brave and helpful. They will put out the fire and make sure everyone is okay," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben watched as the firemen got out of the truck and put on their helmets and hoses. They saw them go inside the building and spray water on the fire. They also saw them carry out some people and pets who were trapped by the smoke. + +"Wow, they are so cool!" Lily said. + +"They are. They are like heroes," Ben said. + +Lily and Ben decided to play firefighters with their fire truck. They pretended to rescue their toys and each other from the fire. They also shared their fire truck with some other kids who wanted to play. They were very thoughtful and kind. + +The firemen soon came out of the building and said the fire was out. They checked on everyone and gave them stickers and hats. They also thanked Lily and Ben for being good and brave. + +"Thank you, firemen, for saving us and our home," Lily and Ben said. + +"You're welcome, kids. You did a great job too. You listened to your mom and stayed calm. You also united with your friends and played nicely. You are very smart and sweet," the firemen said. + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged their mom and their fire truck. They were happy and proud. They learned a lot from the firemen and from each other. They were the best of friends. +Sam and Mia were playing in the backyard. They liked to run and jump and make noise. They saw a big green thing with spikes. It was a cactus. + +"Look, a cactus!" Sam said. "I want to touch it." + +"No, don't touch it!" Mia said. "It will hurt you. It has sharp things." + +But Sam did not listen. He ran to the cactus and reached out his hand. He touched the spikes and felt a pain. He pulled back his hand and saw blood. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam yelled. "It bit me! It bit me!" + +Mia ran to Sam and saw his hand. She felt sorry for him. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Sam. It did not bite you. It has spikes. They poke you. You need a band-aid." + +She took Sam inside the house. It was dark inside. They could not see well. They looked for Mom or Dad, but they were not there. They were scared. + +"Where are Mom and Dad?" Sam asked. + +"I don't know," Mia said. "Maybe they went to the store. Maybe they will come back soon." + +They heard a noise. It was the door. They saw a light. It was Mom and Dad. They came back from the store. They saw Sam and Mia and smiled. + +"Hi, kids," Mom said. "What are you doing in the dark?" + +"We were playing outside," Mia said. "But Sam touched the cactus and it hurt him. We came inside to find a band-aid." + +Mom and Dad looked at Sam's hand. They saw the blood and the spikes. They felt sorry for him. They took him to the bathroom and cleaned his hand. They put a band-aid on it and kissed it. + +"There, there," Dad said. "You'll be fine. Next time, be careful with the cactus. It has spikes. They poke you." + +Sam nodded. He felt better. He thanked Mom and Dad. He hugged Mia. He learned his lesson. + +The end. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her toys. She had a lot of dolls, cars, blocks and books. But her favorite toy was a red dragon. The dragon was soft and cuddly, and had a shiny horn and wings. Lily named him Flame, because he could breathe fire. + +One day, Lily's friend Ben came over to play. Ben saw Flame and wanted to hold him. He asked Lily, "Can I play with your dragon? He is adorable!" + +Lily was not sure. She liked Ben, but she loved Flame. She did not want to share him. She said, "No, he is mine. You can play with something else." + +Ben was sad. He did not have a dragon at home. He thought Flame was very cool and fun. He said, "Please, Lily. I will be careful. I just want to hug him for a little bit." + +Lily looked at Ben's face. She saw that he was not angry or mean. He was just lonely and curious. She remembered that her mom always told her to be kind and generous. She decided to accept Ben's request. She said, "Okay, Ben. You can play with Flame. But only for a little bit. And you have to give him back when I ask." + +Ben smiled. He thanked Lily and took Flame gently. He hugged him and pretended that he was flying with him. He said, "Wow, Flame is amazing! He is so warm and soft. And he can breathe fire!" + +Lily watched Ben and Flame. She felt happy that she made her friend happy. She also felt proud that she was a good sharer. She said, "Yes, Flame is amazing. He is my best friend. And you are my friend too, Ben." + +Ben and Lily played with Flame and their other toys. They had a lot of fun. They learned that sharing is caring, and that friends are more important than things. +Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look, our snowman is smiling!" Lila said. + +"Yes, he likes the sunshine!" Ben said. + +They ran around the snowman and threw snowballs at each other. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, the sun went behind a cloud. The wind blew hard and cold. Lila and Ben felt very cold too. + +"Let's go inside, Lila. It's too cold now," Ben said. + +"OK, Ben. But what about our snowman? He will freeze!" Lila said. + +"Don't worry, Lila. He will be fine. He likes the cold. He is made of snow, remember?" Ben said. + +They hugged their snowman and said goodbye. They ran inside the house, where it was warm and cozy. They had hot chocolate and cookies. They looked out the window and saw their snowman standing in the snow. He was still smiling. + +"He is happy, Ben. He has the sunshine and the gentle wind. He is not lonely," Lila said. + +"Yes, Lila. He is happy. And so are we," Ben said. +Lily and Ben wanted to go on the water. They saw a big boat with many people and a small boat with only one person. The small boat was called a kayak. Lily and Ben liked the kayak more. They asked their mom if they could try it. + +"Are you sure?" Mom said. "The kayak is not easy. You have to paddle and balance. And the water is deep and cold." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were not afraid. They put on life jackets and helmets. Mom helped them get in the kayak. She gave them a paddle and told them to stay close to the shore. + +Lily and Ben started to paddle. They felt the kayak move with the water. They saw fish and birds and rocks. They had fun. They forgot about Mom and the big boat. + +But then they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big wave. The wave was coming fast. It was bigger than the kayak. Lily and Ben felt nervous. They did not know what to do. + +"Help!" they shouted. "Mom!" + +Mom heard them. She was on the big boat. She saw the wave and the kayak. She was scared. She grabbed a rope and threw it to them. + +"Grab the rope!" she yelled. "I'll pull you in!" + +Lily and Ben saw the rope. It appeared in the water. They reached for it. They held it tight. Mom pulled them in. The wave passed by. It did not catch them. + +Lily and Ben were safe. They were wet and cold and shaky. They hugged Mom. They thanked her. They said they were sorry. + +"It's okay," Mom said. "You're brave. But next time, listen to me. The kayak is not for you. Maybe when you're older." + +Lily and Ben agreed. They did not want to go on the kayak again. They wanted to stay on the big boat. They learned their lesson. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, Sam has a new toy. It is a camera. He can take pictures with it. + +"Look, Mia, I have a camera!" Sam says. "It is cool. I can wear it around my neck. Do you want to try?" + +"Yes, please!" Mia says. "Can I take a picture of you?" + +"Sure!" Sam says. He smiles and poses. Mia presses the button. The camera makes a click sound. + +"Wow, you look great!" Mia says. She shows Sam the picture on the screen. "Can I take a picture of the flowers?" + +"Of course!" Sam says. They run to the garden. Mia takes a picture of the yellow flowers. They are pretty. + +"Can I take a picture of us?" Sam asks. He takes the camera from Mia. He holds it in front of them. He stretches his arm. "Say cheese!" + +"Cheese!" Mia says. They both smile. Sam presses the button. The camera makes a click sound. + +"Let me see!" Mia says. Sam shows her the picture.

Tom gets angry and grabs the doll from Jen. Jen cries and tries to get it back. + +"Give me my doll, Tom!" Jen says. + +"No, it is mine now!" Tom says. + +They pull and tug on the doll. The doll's arm breaks off. They both gasp and drop the doll. Jen picks up the doll's arm and hugs it. She is very sad. + +"Look what you did, Tom! You broke my doll!" Jen says. + +"I'm sorry, Jen. I didn't mean to." Tom says. + +They hear their mom coming up the stairs. They are scared. They know mom will be mad if she sees the broken doll. They quickly hide the doll and the arm under the bed. They pretend to play with other toys. + +Mom opens the door and smiles. She sees Tom and Jen playing with their toys. She does not see the broken doll. + +"Hi, kids. How are you?" Mom says. + +"We are fine, mom." Tom and Jen say. + +Mom does not know they are lying. She does not know they lost Jen's doll's arm. She does not know they will have to find it later. She does not know they will have to fix the doll. She does not know they will have to say sorry to each other. She does not know they will learn a lesson. She does not know they will hug and make up. She does not know they will love each other more. She does not know. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big jar of jelly on a bench. It is light red and shiny. + +"Wow, look at that jelly!" Lily says. "It looks yummy. Can we have some?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He is hungry, but he does not know who left the jelly there. Maybe it is not for them. Maybe it is bad. + +"I don't know, Lily," he says. "Maybe we should ask someone first. Maybe it is someone else's jelly." + +Lily pouts. She really wants to taste the jelly. She thinks it is sweet and soft. She does not want to wait. + +"But there is no one here, Ben," she says. "And the jelly will melt in the sun. It will go to waste. Please, can we have just a little bit?" + +Ben looks around. He does not see anyone either. He thinks maybe Lily is right. Maybe they can have just a little bit. He likes jelly too. + +"Okay, Lily," he says. "But only a little bit. And we have to share." + +Lily smiles. She grabs a spoon from the bench and opens the jar. She scoops some jelly and puts it in her mouth. It is sweet and soft, just as she thought. She gives the spoon to Ben. + +"Here, Ben, you try some too," she says. + +Ben takes the spoon and tries some jelly. It is sweet and soft, just as Lily said. He likes it too. He smiles at Lily. + +"Thank you, Lily," he says. "This is good jelly." + +They take turns eating the jelly. They are happy. They do not see the sign on the bench that says "Do not eat.

Sam asked, reaching for the shell. + +"Okay, but be careful. Don't break it," Lily said, giving the shell to Sam. + +They looked at the shell together. It had many lines and dots on it. It felt smooth and cool. + +"Let's put it on our castle," Sam said. "It will make it look nice." + +"Good idea," Lily said. "But we need to finish our castle first." + +They worked hard to make their castle. They filled their bucket with sand and turned it over. They made a big tower. Then they used their shovel to make walls and doors. They dug a moat around their castle and filled it with water. + +They set the shell on top of their tower. It sparkled in the light. They were very proud of their castle. + +"Look, Mom, look!" they shouted, waving at their mom who was sitting on a towel. + +Mom came over and smiled.

He had curly hair and glasses and looked shy. Lily and Max wanted to say hello, but they did not know his name. They walked over to the bush and smiled. + +"Hi, we are Lily and Max. We live here. What is your name?" Lily asked. + +The boy came out from the bush and said, "I am Sam. I live there." He pointed to the house next door. + +"Do you want to play with us?"

He had a bad ending. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play by the river. They want to make a raft. They collect sticks and leaves and tie them together. They put their raft in the water and hop on. + +The raft is not very strong. It starts to fall apart. Tom and Sam are scared. They see a fat duck swimming by. The duck is friendly. It quacks at them and lets them grab its feathers. The duck pulls them to the shore. + +Tom and Sam are happy. They thank the duck and give it some bread. They decide to make a better raft next time. They hug and go home. +Tom was a boy who liked candy very much. He had a big jar of candy in his room, and he ate some every day. He did not like to share his candy with anyone, not even his friends. He thought they would take all his candy and leave him none. + +One day, his mom told him to clean his room. She said it was very messy and he had to put away his toys and clothes. Tom did not want to clean his room. He wanted to eat candy and play. He said, "No, mom, I don't want to clean. I want to eat candy and play." + +His mom was not happy. She said, "Tom, you have to clean your room. It is your job. If you don't clean your room, you can't have any candy for a week. And you can't play with your friends either. You will stay in your room alone." + +Tom did not like that. He did not want to lose his candy or his friends. He said, "Sorry, mom, I will clean my room. Please don't take away my candy or my friends." + +His mom smiled. She said, "Good, Tom, I'm glad you will clean your room. But you have to do it now, not later. And you have to do it well, not just a little bit. And you have to share your candy with your friends, not keep it all for yourself. Candy is better when you share it. And friends are better than being lonely." + +Tom nodded. He said, "Okay, mom, I will do it. I will clean my room now. And I will share my candy with my friends. And I will not be lonely." + +He got up and started to clean his room. He put away his toys and clothes. He dusted his shelves and made his bed. He found some candy wrappers under his bed and threw them away. He looked at his jar of candy and thought of his friends. He decided to give some candy to his friends when they came over. He thought that would make them happy and make him happy too. + +He finished cleaning his room and showed it to his mom. She was proud of him. She said, "Good job, Tom, you cleaned your room very well. You can have some candy now, but not too much. And you can play with your friends, but be nice to them. And don't forget to share your candy with them." + +Tom said, "Thank you, mom, I will. I love you, mom." + +He hugged his mom and took some candy from his jar. He went outside and saw his friends. He said, "Hi, friends, do you want some candy? I have some for you. Let's play together." + +His friends were happy. They said, "Thank you, Tom, you are very kind. We love candy. Let's play together." + +They took some candy from Tom and played with him. They had fun and laughed. Tom was happy. He was not lonely anymore. He had candy and friends. He learned that cleaning his room was not so bad. And he learned that sharing his candy was very good. He was a good boy. +Ben likes to help his dad fix things. His dad is a plumber. He works with pipes and water. Sometimes the pipes are made of copper. Copper is a shiny brown metal. + +One day, Ben and his dad go to a house where the water is not working. The lady who lives there is sad. She says there is a leak in the copper pipe under the sink. Ben and his dad look at the pipe. It has a hole in it. Water is dripping out. + +Ben's dad says they can fix it. He takes out his tools. He has a wrench, a cutter, a solder and a torch. He tells Ben what he is going to do. He says it is not easy, but he knows how. He asks Ben to hold the torch for him. + +Ben feels proud. He holds the torch very carefully. He watches his dad cut the old pipe and put a new piece in. He sees his dad solder the joints with the torch. He hears his dad say "good job, Ben". He smiles. + +The lady who lives there is happy. She turns on the faucet and sees the water running. She thanks Ben and his dad. She gives them cookies and milk. Ben and his dad say goodbye. They go back to their truck. Ben says he likes to fix things with his dad. His dad says he likes to fix things with Ben. They hug. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in a big box. One day, they want to use the same truck. It is a red truck with a loud horn. + +Tim says, "I want the red truck. It is mine. I saw it first." Sam says, "No, I want the red truck. It is mine. I like it more." They both pull the red truck and yell at each other. They are very angry. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She says, "Stop fighting. You have to share. You have many other cars and trucks. Why don't you use them?" Tim and Sam say, "No, we only want the red truck. It is the best." + +Mom is sad and mad. She says, "If you can't share, you can't play. Give me the red truck. You have to go to your rooms. No more cars and trucks for today." She takes the red truck and puts it on a high shelf. She sends Tim and Sam to their rooms. + +Tim and Sam go to their rooms. They are still angry. They look at their beds. They are empty. They look at their floors. They are empty. They look at their closets. They are empty. Mom took all their cars and trucks. They have nothing to play with. They cry and cry. They wish they had shared the red truck. They are sorry. But it is too late. They have a bad day. +Lily and Max were having lunch with their mom. They liked to eat cheese sandwiches and apple juice. Mom gave them each a napkin to wipe their mouths and hands. + +"Can I have more juice, please?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. Let me get the bottle from the kitchen," Mom said. + +While Mom was gone, Max saw a fly buzzing around the table. He was enthusiastic about catching it. He grabbed his napkin and jumped off his chair. + +"Max, what are you doing?" Lily asked. + +"I'm going to catch the fly. It's fun!" Max said. + +He waved his napkin in the air, trying to hit the fly. He ran around the table, knocking over his juice cup and spilling it on the floor. He chased the fly to the window, where it flew away. + +"Ha! I almost got it!" Max said. + +He turned around and saw Mom coming back with the juice bottle. She looked at the mess on the table and the floor. She was not happy. + +"Max, what did you do?" Mom asked. + +"I was searching for the fly with my napkin. It was fun!" Max said. + +Mom sighed. She put the juice bottle down and got a towel. She cleaned up the spill and the table. She gave Lily a new cup of juice and Max a new napkin. + +"Next time, please use your napkin for wiping, not for searching. And don't run around the table, you could hurt yourself or break something. Flies are not fun, they are dirty and annoying. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Lily and Max nodded. They said they were sorry and hugged Mom. They finished their lunch and put their napkins in the trash. They learned their lesson and did not search for flies anymore. +Lily liked to play with her toys in the bathroom. She had a doll, a car, a ball and a bear. She made them talk and sing and dance. She was happy. + +But one day, she saw something new in the bathroom. It was a shiny thing on the floor. It looked like a star. Lily wanted to touch it. She reached for it with her hand. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. The shiny thing was sharp. It hurt her finger. It made a red drop on her skin. Lily was sad. She dropped the shiny thing and ran to her mom. + +Mom saw Lily's finger and hugged her. She said, "Don't touch that, Lily. That is a nail. It is sharp. It can hurt you. It is not a toy. It is for fixing things." She took Lily to the sink and washed her finger. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. + +Lily felt better. She said, "Sorry, Mom. I didn't know. I thought it was a star." Mom said, "It's okay, Lily. I love you. But be careful in the bathroom. There are other things that are not toys. Like the toilet. The toilet is for peeing and pooping. Not for playing. And the soap. The soap is for washing. Not for eating. It is sour. It can make you sick." + +Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, Mom. I will be careful. I will only play with my toys. And I will wash my hands with the soap. But not eat it." Mom smiled. She said, "Good girl, Lily. Now let's go and have some cookies. They are sweet. Not sour." Lily smiled too. She said, "Yay! Cookies!" She followed Mom to the kitchen. She was happy again. +Sam and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Sam has a new toy. It is a phone. It can make sounds and lights. + +Lily wants to play with the phone too. She asks Sam, "Can I have a turn?" Sam says, "No, it is mine. You have your own toys." Lily feels sad. She says, "Please, Sam. I want to see the phone. It looks fun." Sam says, "No, go away. You can't touch it." + +Lily tries to take the phone from Sam. Sam holds it tight. They pull and pull. The phone breaks. It makes a loud noise. A part falls off. Sam and Lily are scared. They cry. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what happened. She sees the broken phone and the crying children. She says, "What did you do? This phone was a gift from Grandma. It was very special. Why did you break it?" + +Sam and Lily are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to play with the phone. We pulled too hard. We are not strong. We are weak. We broke the phone." + +Mom hugs them. She says, "I know you are sorry. But you have to learn to share and be gentle. The phone is not a toy. It is a tool. You can't play with it. You can only use it to talk to Grandma. She loves you very much. She will be sad if she knows you broke her phone." + +Sam and Lily feel bad. They say, "We love Grandma too. We want to talk to her. Can we fix the phone?" Mom says, "I don't know. Maybe we can. But first, you have to say sorry to each other. And promise to share and be gentle next time." + +Sam and Lily say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They promise to share and be gentle. Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. Now, let's see if we can fix the phone. Maybe we can call Grandma and tell her we love her." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big oak tree with many green leaves. They ran to the tree and hugged it. + +"Hello, tree!" Lily said. "You are so big and strong!" + +"Can we climb you, tree?" Ben asked. "You have many branches and acorns!" + +The tree did not answer, but it made a gentle sound with its leaves. Lily and Ben thought the tree was happy to see them. They climbed on the tree and found a cozy spot to sit. + +They looked at the sky and the clouds. They saw birds and butterflies. They felt the soft breeze and the warm sun. They smiled and closed their eyes. + +"Let's nap, Lily," Ben said. "The tree will keep us safe and comfy." + +"Okay, Ben," Lily said. "The tree is our friend and our bed." + +They napped on the tree and had sweet dreams. The tree napped with them and was glad. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys in the park. One day, they find a big truck with four wheels. It is red and shiny. Anna wants to play with it. She says, "This is my truck. I saw it first." + +Ben says, "No, this is my truck. I like it more." He tries to take it from Anna. They pull and tug. The truck makes a loud snap. One of the wheels falls off. The truck is broken. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They look at the broken truck. They look at each other. They feel sorry. Anna says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was mean. Can we share the truck?" + +Ben says, "I'm sorry, too, Anna. I was greedy. Can we fix the truck?" + +They hug and smile. They find some tape and glue. They work together to fix the truck. They make it look like new. They take turns to drive it. They have fun. They are happy. + +They learn a lesson. They learn to share and care. They learn to be good friends. They learn to fix what is broken. They insist on being nice. They are proud of themselves. The end. +Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily liked to play on the swings and the slide. She saw a big pond with ducks and fish. She wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Mom, can I give bread to the ducks?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. But be careful not to go too close to the water," Mom said. She took out some bread from her purse and gave it to Lily. + +Lily broke the bread into small pieces and threw them to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked. Lily smiled and laughed. She saw a big fish jump out of the water and splash. + +"Wow, look at the fish, Mom!" Lily said. + +"That's a nice fish, Lily. But don't throw bread to the fish. They might get sick," Mom said. + +Lily nodded. She wanted to be nice to the animals. She threw more bread to the ducks. But one piece fell into the water. Lily saw the fish swim to the bread and eat it. + +"Uh-oh, the fish ate the bread, Mom," Lily said. + +Mom looked at the pond. She saw the fish swim away. She hoped it would be okay. + +"It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. The fish will be fine. But let's not throw any more bread, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. I'm sorry, fish," Lily said. + +Lily and Mom finished the bread. They threw the dry crusts into a trash can. They washed their hands at a fountain. Then they went to play on the swings and the slide again. Lily had fun at the park. She liked the ducks and the fish. She hoped they liked her too. +Lila was a girl who liked to play in the garden. She liked to dig and plant and water the flowers. One day, she found a big, old pumpkin in a corner of the garden. It was round and orange and had a long stem. + +Lila wondered what was inside the pumpkin. She took a knife from the kitchen and cut a hole in the pumpkin. She looked inside and saw a lot of seeds and pulp. It smelled bad and was wet and mushy. Lila said, "Yuck! This pumpkin is rotting!" + +She threw the knife away and ran to the house. She told her mom what she had found. Her mom said, "That pumpkin is very old, Lila. It was left over from Halloween. Do you know what Halloween is?" + +Lila shook her head. She did not know what Halloween was. Her mom said, "Halloween is a fun day when people dress up and go trick-or-treating. They knock on doors and say 'trick or treat' and get candy. Some people also carve pumpkins and make them into lanterns. They cut out eyes and a mouth and put a candle inside. They look scary and funny at night." + +Lila said, "That sounds fun! Can we do that next Halloween?" Her mom said, "Sure, we can. But we need a fresh pumpkin, not an old one. An old one will rot and smell and attract bugs. We can go to the farm and pick a new one when it is time." + +Lila said, "OK, mom. But can I keep the old pumpkin for now? I want to make something with it." Her mom said, "What do you want to make, Lila?" Lila said, "I want to make a prince!" + +Her mom smiled and said, "A prince? How will you do that?" Lila said, "I will use a magic wand and say 'abracadabra' and the pumpkin will turn into a prince. Then he will be my friend and we will play together." + +Her mom said, "That sounds like a nice idea, Lila. But you know that magic is not real, right? It is only pretend. The pumpkin will not really turn into a prince. It will just stay a pumpkin." + +Lila said, "I know, mom. But I can pretend. It is fun to pretend. Maybe the pumpkin will pretend too. Maybe he will be happy to be a prince and not a rotting pumpkin." + +Her mom said, "OK, Lila. You can keep the pumpkin and pretend. But don't forget to wash your hands after you touch it. And don't let it make a mess in the garden. And don't be sad if it falls apart. It is just an old pumpkin, not a real prince." + +Lila said, "OK, mom. I will remember. Thank you for letting me keep the pumpkin. I will be nice to him and he will be nice to me. He will be the best prince ever!" + +Lila ran back to the garden with a stick in her hand. She said it was her magic wand. She waved it over the pumpkin and said, "Abracadabra! You are a prince now! Hello, prince! What is your name?" + +The pumpkin did not answer. It did not move. It did not change. It was still a pumpkin. But Lila did not mind. She smiled and said, "Your name is Prince Pumpkin. You are my friend. Let's play!" +Tom and Sam are friends who like to play hockey. They have a hockey stick and a ball that they share. One day, they play too hard and the hockey stick breaks. Tom and Sam are sad and angry. + +"Who broke the hockey stick?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe you did. You hit the ball too hard," Sam says. + +"No, you did. You pushed me and made me fall," Tom says. + +They start to yell and fight. They forget to be nice and kind. + +Mom sees them and comes to help. She sees the broken hockey stick and the ball. She sees Tom and Sam's faces. They are red and wet. + +"What happened, boys?" Mom asks. + +"Tom broke the hockey stick. He is bad," Sam says. + +"Sam broke the hockey stick. He is mean," Tom says. + +Mom shakes her head. She is not happy. She says, "Boys, boys, stop. Fighting is not good. Breaking things is not good. You need to say sorry and make up. You need to repair the hockey stick and play nicely." + +Tom and Sam look at each other. They feel sorry and ashamed. They say sorry and hug. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry, friend. We will repair the hockey stick and play nicely." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "That's good, boys. I'm proud of you. You are good friends. You learned a lesson. Repairing is better than breaking. Playing nicely is better than fighting." + +She gives them a soft blanket and a cookie. They sit on the couch and eat the cookie. They feel warm and happy. They watch a show about hockey. They learn more about hockey. They wait for the hockey stick to dry. They plan to play hockey again. But this time, they will play gently and kindly. They will share and care. They will be good friends. The end. +Sara and Ben were very excited. They were going to the theater with their mom and dad. They had never seen a play before. They put on their best clothes and got in the car. + +On the way, they saw a big truck. It had many boxes on it. The truck driver was in a hurry. He did not see the red light. He crashed into another car. The boxes fell off the truck. They broke open. There were many toys inside. + +"Wow, look at all the toys!" Sara said. + +"Can we have some?" Ben asked. + +"No, we can't," their mom said. "Those toys belong to someone else. They were being delivered to a store. The truck driver made a big mistake. He has to pay for the damage. And we have to go to the theater. We don't want to be late." + +Sara and Ben felt sorry for the truck driver. They also felt sorry for the kids who would not get their toys. But they were still curious. They looked at the toys as they passed by. They saw dolls, cars, balls, puzzles, and books. They wondered what play they would see at the theater. + +They arrived at the theater. It was a big building with many lights. They showed their tickets to a man. He gave them a program. It had a picture of a lion and a mouse on it. The play was called "The Lion and the Mouse". + +They went inside. They found their seats. They waited for the play to start. They saw many other people. Some were old, some were young. Some were clean, some were filthy. Sara and Ben did not like the filthy people. They smelled bad. They made noise. They threw popcorn on the floor. + +"Shh, be quiet," their dad said. "The play is about to begin." + +Sara and Ben listened. They watched. They saw the lion and the mouse. They heard their story. They laughed. They clapped. They learned. They had fun. + +They liked the theater. They wanted to come back. They thanked their mom and dad. They went home. They told their friends. They played with their own toys. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are twins who like to swim in the pool. They have a dog named Spot who likes to swim with them. One day, they go to the pool with their mom and Spot. They have fun splashing and playing in the water. + +But then, Sara sees a big slide in the pool. She wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. He says the slide is too high and fast. Sara says he is a baby and runs to the slide. She leaves Ben and Spot alone in the pool. + +Sara climbs up the slide and waits for her turn. She sees how high the slide is and feels a little scared. But she does not want to look like a baby, so she slides down anyway. She goes very fast and hits the water hard. She feels a pain in her heel and starts to cry. + +Ben hears Sara cry and swims to her. He sees her heel is red and swollen. He helps her get out of the water and calls their mom. Their mom comes and sees Sara's heel. She says Sara needs to go to the doctor. She is angry and sad. She says Sara was not careful and did not listen to Ben. + +Spot also comes and licks Sara's heel. He tries to make her feel better. He barks loud and wags his tail. He loves Sara and Ben. He wants them to be happy and safe. + +Sara feels sorry and hugs Ben and Spot. She says she is sorry for being mean and not listening to Ben. She says she learned her lesson. She says she will be more careful and listen to her brother. She says she loves Ben and Spot. They love her too. They are a happy family. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for treasures. Sometimes they found stones, shells, or coins. But they hoped to find something more shiny and pretty. + +"Look, Ben, I found a jewel!" Anna shouted. She held up a small, red thing that sparkled in the sun. "It is so beautiful!" + +Ben ran over to see. He was happy for Anna, but he also wanted a jewel for himself. He dug faster and deeper, but he only found dirt and worms. He felt sad and angry. + +"Anna, can I have your jewel? Please?" Ben asked. He tried to sound nice, but he really wanted to take it. + +"No, Ben, this is my jewel. I found it. You have to find your own," Anna said. She put the jewel in her pocket and smiled. + +Ben did not like Anna's answer. He thought it was not fair. He wanted to grab the jewel from her pocket, but he knew that would be wrong. He tried to be patient and keep digging. Maybe he would find a jewel too, if he worked hard. + +Suddenly, he saw something shiny in his hole. He reached for it and pulled it out. It was a jewel! It was blue and bigger than Anna's. It appeared out of nowhere. He was so happy and surprised. + +"Look, Anna, I found a jewel too!" Ben shouted. He showed her his jewel and grinned. + +Anna looked at Ben's jewel. She was happy for him, but she also felt a little jealous. His jewel was bigger and prettier than hers. She wanted to have it, but she knew that would be wrong. She tried to be happy and nice. + +"Wow, Ben, your jewel is amazing! You are so lucky!" Anna said. She hugged him and smiled. + +Ben and Anna were both happy. They had found jewels in the garden. They decided to share them and play with them together. They were good friends. +Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and drink juice. But they did not like to share. They always fought over the same toy or the same cup of juice. + +One day, their mom gave them a big bottle of juice and two cups. She said, "Be kind and share the juice, okay?" Then she went to do some work. + +Anna and Ben poured some juice into their cups. But Anna wanted more. She grabbed the bottle and poured more juice into her cup. Ben got angry. He said, "That's not fair! Give me some juice!" + +Anna said, "No! It's mine! Go away!" She pushed Ben away with her foot. + +Ben fell down and hit his head on the table. He started to scream. He screamed so loud that their mom heard him. She ran to see what happened. + +She saw Ben bleeding from his head and Anna holding the bottle of juice. She was shocked and angry. She said, "Anna, what did you do? How could you be so mean to your brother?" + +Anna felt scared and sorry. She dropped the bottle of juice and started to cry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to hurt him. I just wanted more juice." + +But it was too late. The juice spilled all over the floor and made a big mess. Ben had to go to the hospital and get stitches. Anna had to stay home and clean up the mess. She wished she had been kind and shared the juice. +Lily loved her bear very much. She hugged him every night and took him everywhere. Bear was soft and warm and made Lily feel happy. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily brought bear with her and played on the swings and the slide. She saw some other kids and wanted to join them. She put bear on a bench and ran to the sandbox. + +"Hi, can I play with you?" Lily asked the other kids. + +"Sure, what's your name?" one of them said. + +"I'm Lily, and this is bear," Lily said, pointing to the bench. + +But when she looked, bear was gone. Lily felt scared and sad. Where was bear? + +She ran back to the bench and looked around. She saw a boy holding bear and walking away. + +"Hey, that's my bear!" Lily shouted. She ran after the boy and tried to get bear back. + +"No, it's mine now!" the boy said. He held bear tight and ran faster. + +Lily felt angry and cried. She wanted bear back. She needed bear. + +"Mommy, help!" Lily called. She saw her mom coming and ran to her. + +"What's wrong, Lily?" her mom asked. + +"That boy took my bear!" Lily sobbed. She pointed to the boy who was still running away. + +Her mom saw the boy and ran after him. She caught up with him and stopped him. + +"Excuse me, that's not your bear, that's Lily's bear," her mom said. "Please give it back to her." + +The boy looked at her mom and then at bear. He saw that bear had a pink bow and a heart on his chest. He realized that bear was not his. + +"I'm sorry, I thought it was mine," the boy said. He gave bear back to Lily's mom. + +Lily's mom thanked the boy and walked back to Lily. She gave bear to Lily and hugged her. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, mommy, thank you," Lily said. She hugged bear and felt warm again. She was happy to have bear back. + +"Bear, I missed you so much," Lily said. "You remind me of home and love." + +Bear did not say anything, but he smiled. He was happy to be with Lily again. He reminded her of home and love, too. +Anna loves her bicycle. It is red and shiny and has a bell. She likes to ride it in the park with her friends. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, a new girl comes to the park. Her name is Mia. She has a bicycle too, but it is white and has flowers. She rides it very fast and graceful.

He looked at the shell and saw a crab inside. The crab had big claws and was angry. + +"That's not a shell, Lily. That's a crab. He lives in the shell. He pinched you because he was scared.

She ran to Mom and Dad and showed them her finger. + +"Mom, Dad, a crab hurt me!" she said. + +Mom and Dad hugged Lily and checked her finger. They put some cream on it and gave her a band-aid. + +"It's okay, Lily. It's just a little scratch. It will heal soon. You were brave. Do you remember what Tom told you about crabs?" they asked. + +Lily nodded. She remembered what Tom said. She learned a new thing today. She decided to be more careful with crabs and other animals at the beach. She thanked Tom for helping her and gave him a hug. They went back to play in the sand and look for shells.

There are many furniture in the living room: a sofa, a table, a chair, a lamp, a bookshelf and a TV. + +One day, Anna finds a new doll on the sofa. She is very happy. She picks up the doll and hugs it. She says, "This is my doll. She is so pretty and soft. I love her." + +Ben sees Anna with the doll. He feels jealous. He wants the doll too.
