+But they still miss it. They hope to find another ball. A ball that they can bounce. A ball that has no chain.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, they found a big puzzle in the playroom. It had many pieces and colors.
+
+"Let's do the puzzle together!" Lily said.
+
+"OK!" Ben said. They started to look for the pieces that matched.
+
+But soon, Lily saw a piece that she liked very much. It had a shiny star on it. She wanted to keep it for herself.
+
+She took the piece and hid it behind her back. She hoped Ben would not see it.
+
+"Hey, where is the star piece?" Ben asked. He looked around the puzzle. He could not find it.
+
+"I don't know," Lily lied. She felt bad, but she did not want to share.
+
+Ben was sad. He liked the star piece too. He wanted to finish the puzzle.
+
+He looked at Lily. He saw something behind her back. He guessed it was the star piece.
+
+"Lily, are you hiding something?" he asked.
+
+Lily felt scared. She knew Ben was right. She was selfish. She did not want to lose the star piece, but she also did not want to lose Ben.
+
+She took out the star piece and showed it to Ben.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I was selfish. I wanted the star piece for myself. But I want to be your friend more. Can we share the star piece and do the puzzle together?" she said.
+
+Ben smiled. He was happy that Lily was honest. He forgave her.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. I'm glad you are my friend. Yes, we can share the star piece and do the puzzle together. Come on, let's follow the picture and finish the puzzle!" he said.
+
+They hugged and went back to the puzzle. They worked together and had fun. They learned to share and be kind. They finished the puzzle and saw the shiny star. They were proud and happy.
+Lily was a pretty girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna, who wore a pink dress and had long hair. Lily and Anna liked to pretend they were in the jungle, where they saw many animals and plants.
+
+One day, Lily decided to invite her friend Tom to play with her and Anna. She called him on the phone and said, "Hi, Tom. Do you want to play with me and Anna? We are in the jungle and we have fun."
+
+Tom said, "Yes, Lily. I want to play with you and Anna. I like the jungle too. Can I bring my lion toy?"
+
+Lily said, "Of course, Tom. Your lion toy can be our friend in the jungle. Come to my house soon."
+
+Tom came to Lily's house with his lion toy. He knocked on the door and Lily opened it. She said, "Hi, Tom. I'm happy you are here. Come to my room. Anna is waiting for us."
+
+Tom followed Lily to her room, where they saw Anna sitting on the bed. Lily said, "Anna, this is Tom. He is my friend. He brought his lion toy to play with us. Tom, this is Anna. She is my doll. She likes the jungle too."
+
+Tom said, "Hi, Anna. You are a pretty doll. I like your pink dress and your long hair. This is my lion toy. He is brave and strong. He likes the jungle too."
+
+Anna said, "Hi, Tom. You are a nice boy. I like your lion toy. He is cute and friendly. He can be our friend in the jungle."
+
+Lily said, "Now we are all friends. Let's play in the jungle. We can see monkeys, birds, snakes, and flowers. We can have a picnic, sing songs, and tell stories. We can have fun."
+
+Tom, Lily, and Anna played in the jungle for a long time. They had fun. They were happy. They invited each other to play again. The end.
+Tom and Lily liked to visit their aunt. She had a big house with many rooms and toys. She also had a garden with a swing and a slide. They always had fun with their aunt.
+
+One day, their aunt said she had a surprise for them. She took them to a room they had never seen before. It was full of paintings and photos on the walls. She said they were her art. She liked to paint and take pictures of things she saw.
+
+She showed them a painting of a big tree with red and yellow leaves. She said she made it in the fall, when the leaves changed color. She showed them a photo of a snowy mountain with a blue sky. She said she took it in the winter, when she went skiing. She showed them a painting of a sunny beach with a green sea. She said she made it in the summer, when she went swimming.
+
+Then she showed them an empty wall. She said it was for them. She gave them some paper and crayons and said they could make their own art. Tom and Lily were happy. They drew their favorite things. Tom drew a dinosaur with big teeth and a long tail. Lily drew a butterfly with colorful wings and a flower.
+
+When they finished, their aunt helped them hang their art on the wall. She said they looked beautiful. She said they were very talented. Tom and Lily smiled. They hugged their aunt and thanked her. They said they loved her art and her surprise. They said they loved her.
+Lily and Ben were glad. They had a big bag of balloons. They wanted to load them in the car. They wanted to go to the park and play with them.
+
+They took the balloons out of the bag. They tied them to a string. They made a long line of balloons. They were red, blue, yellow and green. They were pretty.
+
+They tried to load the balloons in the car. But the balloons were too many. They did not fit in the car. They flew up in the air. They went away.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They lost their balloons. They did not have any to play with. They cried.
+
+Mom and Dad saw them. They felt sorry for them. They had an idea. They went to the store. They bought more balloons. They came back to the car.
+
+They gave the balloons to Lily and Ben. They were happy. They thanked Mom and Dad. They loaded the balloons in the car. They did not tie them to a string. They put them in a big box. They closed the box.
+
+They went to the park. They opened the box. They took out the balloons. They played with them. They had fun. They were glad.
+Anna loves to play with her mommy's makeup. She likes to put lipstick, eyeshadow and blush on her face. She thinks she looks very pretty and grown-up. One day, she finds mommy's makeup bag on the table and decides to play with it while mommy is busy.
+
+She opens the bag and takes out all the colors. She puts some on her face, some on her hair, some on her clothes and some on the wall. She makes a big mess. She does not hear mommy coming into the room.
+
+Mommy sees Anna and the mess and gets very angry. She says, "Anna, what have you done? You have ruined my makeup and the wall! You are not allowed to play with my makeup. It is not a toy. It is for grown-ups only. You have to learn to respect other people's things."
+
+Anna feels very sorry and scared. She says, "I'm sorry, mommy. I just wanted to look like you. You are so pretty and I love you. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Mommy sighs and hugs Anna. She says, "I love you too, Anna. But you have to understand that makeup is not for children. It can hurt your skin and eyes. And it is very expensive and hard to clean. You have to ask me before you use anything that is not yours. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nods and says, "Yes, mommy. I understand. I won't play with your makeup again. Can you teach me how to use it when I grow up?"
+
+Mommy smiles and says, "Of course, Anna. When you grow up, I will teach you how to use makeup properly and safely. But for now, you have to help me clean up this mess. And then you have to take a bath and go to bed. You look very sleepy."
+
+Anna agrees and helps mommy clean up. She takes a bath and puts on her pajamas. She kisses mommy goodnight and goes to bed. She dreams of the day when she can wear makeup like mommy.
+
+The moral of the story is: Respect other people's things and ask for permission before using them. Makeup is not for children and can be dangerous and messy. Learn from your mistakes and apologize when you do something wrong.
+Tim and Sue were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big green field with many cows. They wanted to go and see the cows, so they ran to the fence.
+
+"Look, Sue, the cows are so big and soft!" Tim said, gazing at the cows. "Can we touch them?"
+
+"I don't know, Tim, maybe they will bite us," Sue said, feeling scared. "And look, there is a sign that says 'Keep Out'."
+
+Tim did not care about the sign. He wanted to touch the cows. He climbed over the fence and ran to the nearest cow. Sue followed him, because she did not want to be alone.
+
+The cow did not like Tim and Sue. It felt angry and scared. It mooed loudly and kicked Tim with its hoof. Tim fell to the ground and cried. Sue screamed and ran back to the fence.
+
+A man came out of the house and saw what happened. He was the farmer who owned the cows. He was very mad at Tim and Sue. He shouted at them and called their parents. He said they had to pay for the cow's hurt leg and Tim's doctor.
+
+Tim and Sue felt very sorry and sad. They learned their lesson. They never went near the cows again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They wanted to build an igloo, a house made of snow. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them up. They made a door and a window. They were very happy with their igloo.
+
+But then, Max came along. Max was a big boy who liked to bully others. He saw the igloo and said, "What a silly house! I'm going to knock it down!" He ran towards the igloo and kicked it hard.
+
+"Stop!" Lily and Ben shouted. "That's our igloo! We worked hard to make it! You can't destroy it!"
+
+Max laughed and said, "I can do whatever I want! You can't prevent me!" He kicked the igloo again and again, making holes and cracks.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They felt helpless and scared. They wished someone would help them.
+
+Then, they saw Mr. Fox, their teacher. He was walking by and saw what was happening. He said, "Max, what are you doing? That's not nice! You should respect other people's work and feelings. How would you like it if someone ruined your things?"
+
+Max stopped kicking and looked down. He felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fox. I'm sorry, Lily and Ben. I was bored and mean. I won't do it again."
+
+Mr. Fox said, "That's good, Max. But you have to make up for what you did. You have to help Lily and Ben fix their igloo. And you have to apologize to them and be their friend."
+
+Max nodded and said, "OK, Mr. Fox. I will do that." He went to Lily and Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Lily and Ben. Can I help you fix your igloo? Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They said, "Yes, Max. You can help us and be our friend. Thank you for saying sorry."
+
+They all worked together to fix the igloo. They made it stronger and prettier. They had fun and learned to get along. They realized that it was better to be kind and share than to be mean and selfish. They thanked Mr. Fox for his help and advice. They played in the igloo until it was time to go home. They were very happy with their igloo and their new friend.
+Ben and Mia wanted to swim in the pool. But the pool was very far away. They had to take a bus and then walk a lot. Their mom said it was too hot and too hard. She said they could swim in a cheap pool at home. She bought a small pool that you can blow up with air. She said it was fun and easy.
+
+Ben and Mia were happy. They helped their mom blow up the pool. They put water in it. They put on their swimsuits. They ran to the pool. They jumped in. The water was cold and wet. They splashed and laughed. They played with toys. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then Ben saw something. He saw a hole in the pool. The air was coming out. The pool was getting smaller. Ben was scared. He did not want the pool to break. He did not want the fun to end. He called his mom. He said, "Mom, mom, there is a hole in the pool! What can we do?"
+
+His mom came. She saw the hole. She was not happy. She said, "Oh no, this is a cheap pool. It is not strong. It can break easily. We have to fix it. We need something to cover the hole. We need tape or glue or something."
+
+But they did not have tape or glue or something. They looked around. They did not see anything. They were sad. They thought the pool was ruined. They thought they had to stop swimming.
+
+But then Mia had an idea. She said, "I know what we can do. We can use my hand. I can squeeze the hole with my hand. I can stop the air from coming out. I can save the pool."
+
+She ran to the pool. She put her hand on the hole. She squeezed it hard. She said, "Look, it works! The pool is not getting smaller. The water is not going out. We can still swim. We can still have fun."
+
+Ben was happy. He said, "You are smart, Mia. You are brave. You are the best. Thank you for saving the pool. Thank you for saving the day."
+
+They hugged each other. They smiled. They went back to the pool. They swam and played. They did not care that the pool was cheap. They did not care that the pool had a hole. They only cared that they had each other. They only cared that they had fun.
+Jill and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. But one day, Tom is not in the park. Jill is sad. She misses Tom.
+
+"Where is Tom?" Jill asks Mom.
+
+"Tom is sick. He has to stay at home. He has a hurt brain. The doctor is helping him." Mom says.
+
+"A hurt brain? Will he be okay?" Jill asks.
+
+"I hope so. He needs a long time to get better. He misses you too. He told me on the phone." Mom says.
+
+Jill wants to see Tom. She wants to make him happy. She has an idea. She runs to her room. She gets her crayons and paper. She draws a picture of them in the park. She writes "I miss you, Tom" on it. She gives it to Mom.
+
+"Can you give this to Tom? Please, Mom." Jill says.
+
+"Of course, Jill. That is very nice of you. Tom will love it. He will smile when he sees it." Mom says.
+
+Mom takes the picture to Tom's house. She knocks on the door. Tom's mom opens it. She looks tired and worried. Mom gives her the picture.
+

+
+Mom and Tom's mom go to Tom's room. Tom is lying on his bed. He has a bandage on his head. He looks pale and sad. He sees the picture. He recognizes Jill and the park. He smiles.
+
+"Hi, Tom. How are you feeling?" Mom says.
+

+
+Mom hugs Tom. Tom hugs Mom. Tom's mom hugs them both. They all feel a little better. They all hope for a long and happy friendship.
+Lily and Max were twins. They liked to play together, but sometimes they fought. One day, they had a big fight over a toy. They yelled and pushed each other. Mom heard them and was not happy.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. "You need to share and be nice. It's time for bed anyway. Go brush your teeth and put on your bathrobes."
+
+Lily and Max did not want to go to bed. They wanted to keep playing. They decided to sneak out of their room and go to the living room. They put on their bathrobes and tiptoed down the hall. They saw the TV and the couch. They smiled.
+
+"Let's watch a movie!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, but be quiet!" Max said.
+
+They turned on the TV and found a movie they liked. They sat on the couch and wrapped themselves in their bathrobes. They felt cozy and warm. They forgot about their fight.
+
+Mom came to check on them. She saw them sleeping on the couch, holding hands. She smiled. She turned off the TV and covered them with a blanket. She kissed them good night.
+
+"Sweet dreams, my loves," she said. "I'm sorry you had a difficult day. I hope you'll be friends again tomorrow."

+
+One day, he finds a new toy in his box. It is a square. It is brown and soft and has four sides. Sam picks it up and looks at it. He likes the square. He wonders what it is.
+
+He brings the square to his nose and smells it. It is very smelly. It smells like poop. Sam makes a face and drops the square. He does not like the smelly square. He says "yuck" and runs away.
+
+The square is not a toy. It is a chocolate bar. Sam's big sister put it in his box as a joke. She laughs and picks up the square. She peels off the wrapper and eats it. She likes the chocolate. She says "yum" and smiles.
+
+Sam comes back and sees his sister eating the square. He is confused and curious. He asks her what it is. She tells him it is chocolate. She offers him a bite. He hesitates and observes the square. It does not smell like poop anymore. It smells sweet and yummy.

+
+"Look, Tom, I have a ball!" Lily says.
+
+Tom runs to Lily. He wants the ball too. He tries to take the ball from Lily.
+
+"No, Tom, it is my ball!" Lily says.
+
+They pull the ball. The ball pops. Lily and Tom are sad. They hear a loud noise. It is a dog. The dog is angry. The dog wants the ball.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Tom says.
+
+Lily and Tom run away from the dog. They run to Tom's home. Tom's mom is there. She sees Lily and Tom. She sees the ball.
+
+"What happened, kids?" Tom's mom asks.
+
+"A dog chased us. The ball popped. We are sorry." Lily and Tom say.

+Lily was a thoughtful sheep. She liked to move around the field and look for new things. She also liked to share her wool with her friends when they were cold.
+
+One day, she saw a big truck near the fence. It had a sign that said "Wool Factory". Lily was curious. She moved closer to the truck and saw some men with scissors and bags.
+
+"Hello, what are you doing?" she asked.
+
+"We are here to collect wool from the sheep. We will make sweaters and blankets and hats with it," one of the men said.
+
+"Can I give you some of my wool?" Lily asked. She thought it would be nice to help the men and make people happy.
+
+"Sure, you are very kind. Come here and we will shear you," the man said.
+
+Lily followed the man to the truck. He cut off her wool and put it in a bag. Lily felt a bit cold and strange without her wool.
+
+"Thank you, little sheep. You have very nice wool. Here, take this," the man said. He gave Lily a red scarf.
+
+Lily smiled. She put on the scarf and felt warm and cozy. She moved back to the field and showed her friends her new scarf.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you look very pretty. Where did you get that?" they asked.
+
+"I gave some of my wool to the men in the truck. They made this scarf for me. They said they will make more things with our wool," Lily said.
+
+"That's very thoughtful of you, Lily. And very brave. We are proud of you," they said.
+
+Lily felt happy. She moved around the field with her friends, wearing her red scarf. She thought it was a good day.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to skip and zoom on the swings and slides. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But then they saw a big dog. It was black and furry and had sharp teeth. It barked and ran towards them. Anna and Ben were frightened. They did not like the big dog.
+
+"Help! Help!" they cried. "Go away, big dog!"
+
+A man came and saw them. He was the big dog's owner. He called the big dog and put a leash on it. He said sorry to Anna and Ben.
+
+"Don't be scared. He is a good dog. He just wanted to play with you. What are your names?" he asked.
+
+"I'm Anna and this is Ben. We were skipping and zooming in the park. But we don't want to play with your big dog. He is too scary," Anna said.
+
+"I understand. His name is Rex. He is friendly, but he can be loud and fast. Maybe you can pet him and give him a treat. He likes that," the man said.
+
+He gave Anna and Ben some biscuits to feed Rex. Rex wagged his tail and licked their hands. Anna and Ben smiled. They were not frightened anymore. They liked Rex.
+
+"Can we skip and zoom with Rex?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, if you want to. He likes to skip and zoom too. But be careful, he might pull you," the man said.

+Anna and Ben nodded. They held the leash and skipped and zoomed with Rex. They laughed and had fun. They made a new friend.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play music with pots and pans. They bang and tap and make loud sounds. They have fun and laugh.
+
+One day, they find a new toy. It is a drum. It has a stick and a skin. Lily and Ben take turns to hit the drum. They make different sounds. Some are fast, some are slow. Some are loud, some are soft.
+
+They try to make a rhythm. A rhythm is when sounds go together. They listen to each other and copy. They hit the drum in the same way. They make a pattern. They nod and smile.
+
+They want to make the rhythm more lively. Lively means happy and exciting. They think of a way. They clap their hands. They clap with the drum. They clap fast and slow. They clap loud and soft. They clap in the same way. They make a pattern. They nod and smile.
+
+They sing a song. They sing with the drum and the clap. They sing fast and slow. They sing loud and soft. They sing in the same way. They make a pattern. They nod and smile.
+
+They are happy. They play music with pots and pans and drum and clap and sing. They have fun and laugh. They say to each other:
+
+"Let's play music again tomorrow!"
+Tom and Lily were going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They were very excited to see the big planes and fly to Grandma's house. But Tom was also a little scared. He did not like loud noises and he did not know what it would feel like to be in the air.
+
+"Tom, are you ready to go?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom, but I'm a little scared," Tom said.
+
+Lily heard Tom and hugged him. She was his big sister and she wanted to help him.
+
+"Don't be scared, Tom. It's fun to fly. You can see the clouds and the birds and the cars. And Grandma will be so happy to see us. I'll be with you all the time. You can hold my hand if you want," Lily said.
+
+She encouraged Tom to be brave and smile.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You're a good sister. I'll try to be brave," Tom said.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the airport. It was a long drive, but they played games and sang songs to pass the time. When they got to the airport, they saw many people and bags and carts. They also saw the big planes with wings and wheels and windows.
+
+"Wow, look at the planes, Tom. They're so big and shiny. Do you want to go inside one?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom nodded. He was still a little scared, but he was also curious. He wanted to see what it was like to fly.
+
+They followed Mom and Dad to the gate. They showed their tickets and boarded the plane. They found their seats and buckled their belts. They listened to the pilot and the stewardess. They watched the plane move and take off.
+
+Tom felt a funny feeling in his tummy. He squeezed Lily's hand.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. It's just the plane going up. It will be smooth soon. Look out the window. Do you see the clouds?" Lily said.
+
+Tom looked out the window. He saw the clouds and the birds and the cars. He saw the sun and the sky and the land. He saw how small everything looked from the air. He felt a new feeling in his heart. He felt happy and amazed.
+
+He smiled at Lily.
+
+"You were right, Lily. It's fun to fly. I'm not scared anymore. I'm glad we're going to Grandma's house," Tom said.
+
+Lily smiled back.
+
+"Me too, Tom. Me too."
+Anna and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a pond with many ducks. Anna and Ben liked the ducks. They wanted to feed them bread.
+
+"Can we feed the ducks, Mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Don't get too close to the water," Mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben took some bread from Mom and broke it into small pieces. They threw the pieces to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked. They ate the bread.
+
+One duck was bigger and louder than the others. He wanted more bread. He followed Anna and Ben. He tried to take the bread from their hands. He bit Ben's finger.
+
+"Ow! Go away, duck!" Ben shouted.
+
+Anna laughed. She thought it was funny. She showed Ben her tongue.
+
+"Ha ha, the duck likes you, Ben. He wants to be your friend," she teased.
+
+Ben was embarrassed. He did not like the duck. He did not like Anna's joke. He showed Anna his fist.
+
+"Stop it, Anna. It's not funny. It hurts," he said.
+
+Mom saw what happened. She came to help Ben. She gave him a band-aid for his finger. She scolded the duck.
+
+"Bad duck, don't bite. Go back to the pond," she said.
+
+The duck quacked and walked away. He was not sorry. He looked for more bread.
+
+Mom hugged Ben and Anna. She told them to be nice to each other and to the ducks.
+
+"Let's go to the playground, okay? Maybe we can see some squirrels there," she said.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They said sorry to each other. They held Mom's hand. They went to the playground. They forgot about the duck.
+Tim and Kim are squirrels. They live in a big tree with their mom and dad. They like to play and run and jump in the leaves.
+
+One day, Tim and Kim see a shiny nut on the ground. They want to eat it. They run to the nut and try to grab it. But the nut is too heavy. They cannot lift it.
+
+They try to push it. They try to roll it. They try to bite it. But the nut does not move. It is too hard.
+
+Tim and Kim are sad. They want to give up. They look at the nut and sigh.
+
+But their mom sees them. She comes to help. She says, "Do not give up, Tim and Kim. You can do it. You just need to be patient and work together. You need to raise the nut."
+
+She shows them how to raise the nut. She puts her paws under the nut and lifts it up. She says, "Now you try. Put your paws under the nut and lift it up. One, two, three, raise!"
+
+Tim and Kim do what their mom says. They put their paws under the nut and lift it up. They say, "One, two, three, raise!" They raise the nut together. They are happy. They thank their mom and take the nut to their home. They share the nut and eat it. It is yummy.
+
+They learn that they can do hard things if they are patient and work together. They are proud of themselves. They hug their mom and each other. They smile.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. Sara sees a big dog with a funny hat. She runs to the dog and says, "Hello, dog. You are adorable. Can I pet you?"
+
+The dog wags his tail and licks Sara's face. Sara giggles and hugs the dog. Ben follows Sara and says, "Wow, what a nice dog. What is his name?"
+
+A man comes to the dog and says, "His name is Judge. He is a special dog. He helps people who are sad or scared. He is a therapy dog."
+
+Sara and Ben are curious. They ask, "What is a therapy dog? How does he help people?"
+
+The man smiles and says, "A therapy dog is a dog who visits hospitals, schools, or other places where people need some comfort and joy. He listens to them, cuddles with them, and makes them feel better. He is very gentle and smart."
+
+Sara and Ben are impressed. They say, "Judge is amazing. He is a hero dog. Can we play with him some more?"
+
+The man nods and says, "Sure, you can play with him. But be careful, he is old and tired. He needs some rest too."
+

+Sara liked to play with her mom's jewelry. She liked the shiny rings and necklaces and bracelets. She liked to put them on and look at herself in the mirror. She felt like a princess.
+
+One day, when her mom was out, Sara decided to play with the jewelry again. She took them out of the box and put them on the table. She picked up a soft scarf and wrapped it around her neck. She thought it looked pretty with the jewelry. She wanted to show her friend Lily.
+
+She called Lily on the phone and asked her to come over. Lily said yes and came quickly. Sara opened the door and said, "Look at me, Lily! I'm wearing my mom's jewelry and a soft scarf. Don't I look pretty?"
+
+Lily looked at Sara and gasped. She saw the jewelry and the scarf and recognized them. They were not Sara's mom's. They were Lily's mom's. Lily's mom had a display of her jewelry and scarves at the craft fair. Sara had taken them without asking.
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She said, "Sara, those are not your mom's jewelry and scarf. They are my mom's. She made them and sold them at the craft fair. You stole them from her. That's very bad. You have to give them back."
+
+Sara was scared and ashamed. She did not know they were Lily's mom's. She thought they were her mom's. She liked them so much. She did not want to give them back. She said, "No, they are mine. I found them in the box. They are pretty. I want to keep them."
+
+Lily and Sara started to fight. They pulled and tugged at the jewelry and the scarf. They yelled and cried. They did not hear Sara's mom coming back. Sara's mom saw them and was shocked. She saw the jewelry and the scarf and knew they were not hers. She asked them what was going on.
+
+Lily and Sara told her the truth. Sara's mom was very angry and disappointed. She said, "Sara, how could you do this? You took someone else's things without asking. That's stealing. That's wrong. You have to apologize to Lily and her mom and give them back. You also have to go to your room and think about what you did. You are in big trouble."
+
+Sara felt very sorry and sad. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Lily's mom. I'm sorry, mom. I made a big mistake. I won't do it again." She gave back the jewelry and the scarf and went to her room. She cried and wished she had not played with the jewelry.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not take things that are not yours without asking. It is not nice and it can hurt your friends and your family. Be honest and respectful.

+
+"Let's try it on something," Lily said. She pointed the wand at a flower vase on the shelf. "Shrink!" she said. The vase became very small, like a thimble. Lily and Ben laughed. They thought it was fun.
+
+They decided to shrink more things. They shrunk a lamp, a book, a pillow, and a teddy bear. They made a pile of tiny things on the floor. They felt like giants.
+
+But then, Lily had an idea. She wanted to see what would happen if she shrunk Ben. She thought it would be funny. She sneaked behind him and pointed the wand at his back. "Shrink!" she said.
+
+Ben felt a strange tingling. He looked down and saw that he was smaller than a mouse. He was scared. He shouted, but Lily could not hear him. He tried to run, but Lily almost stepped on him. He dodged her foot and hid under the bed.
+
+Lily looked around and saw that Ben was gone. She felt sorry. She realized that she had done something bad. She wanted to find Ben and make him big again. But she did not know where he was. She searched everywhere, but she could not see him. She started to cry.

+Moral: Don't play with things you don't understand. Don't hurt your friends for fun. Be careful with fragile things.
+Sam and Mia were playing with their toy boats in the bathtub. They had fun making waves and pretending to be pirates. Sam had a big boat with a red flag and an anchor. Mia had a small boat with a yellow flag and a sail.
+
+"Look at my boat, Mia!" Sam said. "It has an anchor. It can stop in the water and not move. Your boat has no anchor. It will drift away."
+
+Mia did not like what Sam said. She thought he was ignorant. She knew that her boat had a sail. It could catch the wind and go fast. She did not need an anchor.
+
+"That's not true, Sam!" Mia said. "My boat has a sail. It can go wherever I want. Your boat has an anchor. It will slow you down and make you stuck."

+
+"What are you doing, Sam and Mia?" Mom asked. "Why are you fighting over your boats? They are both nice boats. You should share and play nicely."
+

+
+They ran to their mom, who was sitting on the porch. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. It's not an earthquake. It's just a big truck passing by on the road. It makes a lot of noise and vibration, but it can't hurt us."
+
+Tim and Lily looked at the road and saw a big yellow truck with a long trailer. It had a picture of a dinosaur on the side. It said, "Dino World: The Best Show on Earth."

+
+"Lily, look what you did!" Tom says. "You broke my sunglasses! They were very special!"
+
+Lily feels sorry. She did not mean to break Tom's sunglasses. She knows that he liked them a lot. She wants to make him feel better.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry I broke your sunglasses. I did not want to fall. It was an accident. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Tom looks at Lily. He sees that she is sad and sorry too. He remembers that she is his friend. He does not want to be mad at her. He decides to forgive her.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I'm not mad at you. I know it was an accident. You are my friend. Friends share and forgive."
+
+Tom and Lily hug. They feel better. They go to the bench. They put a band-aid on Lily's knee. They throw away the broken sunglasses. They decide to play something else. They are still strong and cool. They are happy.
+Tommy loved to ride his bike. He rode it every day in the park with his mom and dad. He liked to go fast and feel the wind in his hair. He also liked to see the animals in the park. He saw birds, squirrels, dogs, and cats.
+
+One day, he saw a cat that looked troubled. It was lying on the grass and did not move. It had a big cut on its leg and blood on its fur. Tommy felt sad for the cat. He wanted to help it. He told his mom and dad about the cat. They said they would take it to the veterinarian.
+
+The veterinarian was a nice lady who loved animals. She took the cat to a room and gave it medicine and a bandage. She said the cat would be okay, but it needed to stay with her for a few days. She thanked Tommy for finding the cat and being kind. She gave him a sticker of a cat and a hug.
+
+Tommy was happy that the cat was safe. He hoped it would find a good home. He said goodbye to the cat and the veterinarian. He rode his bike back to the park with his mom and dad. He felt proud and happy. He decided he wanted to be a veterinarian when he grew up. He liked to help animals.

+Sara loved to draw with her crayons. She had a big folder with many papers inside. She liked to make pictures of her family, her friends, and her toys. She was very proud of her drawings and showed them to everyone.
+
+One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her folder with her. She wanted to draw the birds, the flowers, and the swings.

She could not see her pictures anymore.
+
+Sara was very sad and angry. She did not know who did this to her folder. She asked her mom and dad, but they did not know either. They hugged her and said they were sorry. They said they would buy her new papers and crayons. But Sara did not want new papers and crayons. She wanted her old pictures back.
+
+Sara prayed to God. She asked him to help her find the person who ruined her folder. She asked him to make them say sorry and fix her drawings. She asked him to make her happy again.
+
+As she prayed, she heard a voice behind her. It was a boy from her preschool. He was holding a black crayon in his hand. He looked scared and guilty. He said, "Sara, I'm sorry. I did it. I took your folder and drew on your papers. I was mad at you because you did not play with me. I was wrong. Please forgive me. I will help you make new pictures."
+
+Sara was surprised and angry. She wanted to yell at him and hit him. But she remembered her prayer. She remembered that God wanted her to be kind and forgiving. She took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for telling me the truth. I'm still sad and hurt, but I forgive you. You can help me make new pictures, but you have to promise to never do this again. And you have to play with me and be my friend."
+
+The boy nodded and said, "I promise. I'm sorry. I want to be your friend." He gave her his black crayon and said, "You can keep this. Maybe you can use it to make something nice."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Thank you. Maybe I can." She took the black crayon and opened her folder. She saw that some of her pictures were not completely black.

She made them look different and beautiful.
+
+She showed her new pictures to her mom and dad. They were amazed and proud. They said, "Sara, you are very creative and smart. You turned something bad into something good. You are very brave and forgiving. You made a new friend and a new art. We love you very much."

+Ben and Lily wanted to make a cake for Mom. They had flour, eggs, sugar, and butter. They put them in a big bowl. But they did not have a mixer.
+
+"How can we mix the cake?" Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe we can use a spoon," Lily said.
+
+They tried to use a spoon, but it was hard. The batter was thick and sticky. They got tired and messy.
+
+"This is not working," Ben said. "We need a mixer."
+
+Lily had an idea. She saw a tall chair in the kitchen. She climbed on it and reached for a shelf. She found a mixer. It was big and shiny.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a mixer!" Lily said.
+
+"Good job, Lily!" Ben said. "But be careful. The chair is tall. You might fall."
+
+Lily held the mixer and got down from the chair. She gave the mixer to Ben. He plugged it in and turned it on. The mixer made a loud noise. It mixed the batter fast and smooth.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Ben said.
+
+They poured the batter in a pan and put it in the oven. They waited for the cake to bake. They cleaned the bowl and the mixer. They were happy. They made a cake for Mom. They hoped she would like it.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play dress-up. They had many costumes and masks in their toy box. One day, they decided to pretend to be animals. Lily chose a cat mask and Ben chose a dog mask. They put on their masks and started to act like cats and dogs.
+
+"Meow, meow, I am a cat. I can jump and scratch and catch mice," Lily said.
+
+"Woof, woof, I am a dog. I can run and bark and fetch bones," Ben said.
+
+They had fun chasing each other and making animal noises. But then, Ben saw Lily's cat mask and felt envious. He thought it was prettier and more fun than his dog mask. He wanted to try it on.
+
+"Can I have your cat mask, Lily? Please, please, please," Ben asked.
+
+"No, Ben, this is my cat mask. You have your dog mask. It is nice too," Lily said.
+
+"But I like your cat mask more. It has whiskers and ears and spots. My dog mask is boring. It has only a nose and a tongue," Ben said.
+
+He tried to grab Lily's cat mask, but Lily did not let him. They started to tug and pull on the mask. They were not friends anymore. They were angry and sad.
+
+Then, their mom came in and saw them fighting. She was not happy. She took away their masks and told them to share and be nice. She said that masks are just toys and that they should not be envious of each other. She said that they should laugh and have fun together.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They realized that they did not need masks to play dress-up. They could use their imagination and pretend to be anything they wanted. They smiled and laughed and became friends again.
+Lily loved to visit the farm with her dad. She liked to see the cows, the pigs, the chickens and the horses. Her favorite horse was Brownie, a big and gentle horse who lived in the stable. Brownie was dependable, he always let Lily pet him and feed him carrots.

+One day, Lily and her dad went to the farm and saw that Brownie was not in the stable. Lily was sad and asked her dad where Brownie was. Her dad said that Brownie was sick and had to go to the vet. He said that Brownie would be back soon and that Lily should not mind.
+
+Lily tried not to mind, but she missed Brownie a lot. She played with the other animals, but none of them were as friendly as Brownie. She wished that Brownie would come back soon and be well.
+
+The next week, Lily and her dad went to the farm again. Lily ran to the stable and saw that Brownie was there. He looked happy and healthy. He neighed when he saw Lily and came to the fence.

+They finish the apple and throw the seeds and the stick away. They wipe their mouths and smile at each other.
+
+"That was a good apple," says Ben.
+
+"Yes, it was," says Anna. "Thank you for helping me get it."
+
+"You're welcome," says Ben. "You're a good friend."
+
+They hug each other and then run to play some more. They are happy and full.
+Lily loved to play with her guitar. She liked to make loud noises and sing funny songs. She took her guitar everywhere she went. One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it.
+
+"Can I take my guitar, mom?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, but be careful with it. Don't let it fall or break," mom said.
+
+Lily nodded and ran to the slide. She put her guitar on the grass and climbed up the ladder. She slid down fast and laughed. She felt happy and free.
+
+She wanted to slide again, so she ran back to the ladder. But when she looked for her guitar, she could not see it. It was gone. It had vanished.
+
+"Mom, dad, where is my guitar?" she cried.
+
+Mom and dad came over and looked around. They saw a boy running away with Lily's guitar. He had taken it when she was not looking.
+
+"Hey, stop! That's not yours!" dad shouted.
+
+He ran after the boy and caught him. He took the guitar back and gave it to Lily.
+
+"Are you okay, sweetie?" mom asked.
+
+Lily hugged her guitar and nodded. She was glad to have it back. She was also angry and sad.
+
+"Why did he take my guitar?" she asked.
+
+"I don't know, honey. Maybe he liked it too, or maybe he was bored or mean. But that's not a good reason to take something that belongs to someone else," mom said.
+
+The boy looked down and said nothing. He seemed scared and ashamed.
+
+"Are you sorry for what you did?" dad asked.
+
+The boy nodded and whispered, "Yes, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I won't do it again."
+
+Lily looked at him and saw that he was sorry. She felt a little better.
+
+"It's okay. I forgive you. But don't take things that are not yours. It's not nice. It makes people sad," she said.
+
+The boy smiled and said, "Thank you. You are very kind. I'm sorry I made you sad."
+
+Lily smiled back and said, "You're welcome. Maybe we can be friends. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The boy nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Can I try your guitar?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Sure, you can. But be careful with it. It's my favorite thing."
+
+They went to the grass and played with the guitar. They made loud noises and sang funny songs. They had fun and laughed. They felt happy and free.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big bush with red berries in the garden. They wanted to pick some berries and eat them.
+
+"Look, Sam, berries!" Tim said. "Let's go get some."
+
+"OK, Tim, but be careful. Mom said some berries are bad for us," Sam said.
+
+They ran to the bush and reached for the berries. But as they got closer, they heard a loud growl from behind the bush. It was a big dog with sharp teeth and angry eyes.
+
+"Rrrrr! Woof! Woof!" the dog barked.
+
+Tim and Sam were scared. They dropped the berries and ran away.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted.
+
+Mom heard them and came outside. She saw the dog and grabbed a stick.
+
+"Shoo! Shoo! Go away, dog!" she said. She waved the stick at the dog and made it run away.
+
+"Are you OK, boys?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we're OK. But the dog was scary," Tim said.
+
+"It was very scary," Sam said.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "You were very brave, boys. But you should not go near that bush again. The berries are bad for you and the dog is not friendly. Repeat after me: No bush, no berries, no dog."
+
+Tim and Sam repeated, "No bush, no berries, no dog."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Good. Now let's go inside and have some cookies. Cookies are good for you and they make you happy."
+
+Tim and Sam nodded and said, "Yes, Mom, cookies are good and they make us happy."
+
+They followed Mom inside and had some cookies. They forgot about the bush, the berries, and the dog. They were happy.
+Tim and Jen are twins who like to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom is making a cake and she lets them use the mixer. The mixer is a big machine that can move very fast and make things smooth.
+
+"Can I hold the mixer, mom?" Tim asks. He likes to see the mixer move and hear the noise it makes.
+
+"Sure, Tim, but be careful. The mixer is heavy and strong. You have to hold it with both hands and not let it touch the bowl or the table," mom says.
+
+Tim takes the mixer and tries to move it like mom. But he is not very good at it. The mixer moves too much and splashes the batter everywhere. Jen laughs and says, "Tim, you are making a mess!"
+
+Mom is not angry, but she is not happy either. She takes the mixer from Tim and says, "Tim, you have to be more wise when you use the mixer. The mixer is not a toy. It is a tool. You have to watch what you are doing and follow the rules."
+
+Tim feels sorry and says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to help. Can I try again?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can try again, but this time, listen to me and do what I say. And Jen, you can help too. You can crack the eggs and put them in the bowl. Then we can all make the cake together."
+
+Tim and Jen nod and say, "Okay, mom. We will be more wise and careful." They hug mom and thank her for letting them use the mixer. They are happy to help and learn new things. They hope the cake will be yummy.
+Lily was a wise girl who liked to help her mom. She knew how to ring the bell when someone came to the door. She knew how to brush her hair and teeth every morning. She knew how to say please and thank you.
+
+One day, Lily heard the bell ring. She ran to the door and opened it. She saw a man with a big bag. He smiled and said, "Hello, I am here to fix your TV. Is your mom home?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, she is in the kitchen. Come in, please." She led the man to the living room, where the TV was. She saw that the TV had a lot of wires and buttons. She wondered what they did.
+
+The man opened his bag and took out some tools. He said, "I need to check the TV and see what is wrong. Can you do me a favor and stay here with me? I don't want you to get hurt by the wires."
+
+Lily said, "OK, I will stay here. Can I ask you some questions?"
+
+The man said, "Sure, what do you want to know?"
+
+Lily said, "What is this tool?" She pointed to a brush with metal bristles.
+
+The man said, "This is a wire brush. I use it to clean the dust and dirt from the wires. It helps the TV work better."
+
+Lily said, "Wow, that is cool. Can I try it?"
+
+The man said, "No, sorry, this is not a toy. It can hurt you if you touch it. You can watch me, but don't touch anything, OK?"
+
+Lily said, "OK, I understand. You are very wise. You know how to fix things."
+
+The man said, "Thank you, you are very kind. You know how to be polite and helpful."
+
+They smiled at each other and waited for the TV to be fixed. Lily learned a lot from the man. She was happy that she rang the bell and met him.
+Anna likes to bake cakes with her mom. They use eggs, flour, butter and sugar. Anna likes to taste the sugar. It is sweet and crunchy. Mom says sugar is not good for her teeth, but she can have a little bit.
+
+One day, Anna sees a big jar of sugar on the table. She wants to have some. She asks mom if she can. Mom says no, because they are going to bake a cake later. Anna is sad. She waits for mom to go to the bathroom. Then she sneaks to the table and grabs the jar.
+
+She opens the jar and puts some sugar in her mouth. But it does not taste sweet and crunchy. It tastes bitter and powdery. Anna spits it out. She looks at the jar. It says "fake sugar". Anna does not know what that means. She thinks it is bad sugar. She feels sick.
+
+Mom comes back and sees Anna with the jar. She is angry. She asks Anna why she took the sugar. Anna says she was hungry. Mom says that is not sugar, that is fake sugar. It is for people who cannot eat real sugar. It is not good for children. Mom says Anna has to drink some water and brush her teeth.
+
+Anna is sorry. She says she will not take sugar again. She drinks some water and brushes her teeth. She hopes she will feel better soon. She says she loves mom and mom loves her. They hug and kiss. Then they bake a cake with real sugar. Anna says it is the best cake ever.
+Anna liked to act. She liked to pretend she was a princess, a doctor, or a teacher. She liked to dress up and make funny voices. She liked to make her toys and her little brother join her games.
+
+One day, Anna wanted to act like a painter. She found some paints and brushes in the closet. She put on a big shirt and a hat. She looked for a place to paint. She saw the white wall in the living room. She thought it was too plain. She decided to make it more colorful.
+
+She dipped her brush in the paint and started to make lines and dots on the wall. She made a sun, a flower, a house, and a cat. She was very happy with her painting. She did not hear her mom coming in.
+
+"Anna, what are you doing?" her mom asked in a loud voice. She saw the mess on the wall and the floor. She was very angry.
+
+"I'm a painter, mom. Look at my painting. It's beautiful," Anna said. She smiled and showed her mom her brush.
+
+"Anna, you are not a painter. You are a naughty girl. You are not supposed to paint on the wall. That is very bad. You have to clean it up right now," her mom said. She took the paints and brushes away from Anna. She gave her a sponge and a bucket of water.
+
+Anna felt sad. She did not mean to make her mom angry. She did not know she was doing something wrong. She wanted to be a good girl. She wanted to be obedient. She took the sponge and the bucket and started to scrub the wall. She said sorry to her mom.
+
+"It's okay, Anna. I know you like to act. But you have to ask me before you use the paints. And you have to paint on paper, not on the wall. Do you understand?" her mom said. She hugged Anna and kissed her cheek.
+
+"Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you," Anna said. She hugged her mom back and finished cleaning the wall. She learned her lesson. She decided to act like something else next time. Maybe a dancer, or a singer, or a chef. But not a painter.
+Lily was a nosy girl. She liked to look at everything in the house. She liked to open drawers and cupboards and boxes. She liked to ask many questions.
+
+One day, she saw a big photo on the wall. It was a photo of a man and a woman. They were smiling and holding hands. Lily did not know them. She wanted to know who they were.
+
+She entered the living room where her mom was reading a book. She pointed at the photo and said, "Mom, who are they?"
+
+Her mom looked at the photo and sighed. She put down her book and said, "They are your grandparents, Lily. They were my mom and dad. They are not here anymore."
+
+Lily was confused. She said, "Where are they? Why are they not here?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "They are in heaven, Lily. They went there a long time ago, before you were born. They were very sick and they could not stay with us. But they loved us very much and they are watching over us."
+
+Lily felt sad. She said, "I wish I could meet them. I wish they could stay with us."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Me too, Lily. Me too. But you know what? They left us something very special. They left us this photo. And they left us their love. And we can always remember them and talk to them in our hearts."
+
+Lily nodded. She looked at the photo again. She saw the man and the woman smiling and holding hands. She felt their love. She said, "I love you, grandma and grandpa. I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. I love you too."
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and make things. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They want to make a world with the box.
+
+"I want to make a house," Tom says. He cuts a door and a window in the box.
+
+"I want to make a castle," Lily says. She draws towers and flags on the box.
+
+They both work hard on their world. But then they have a problem. They want to put their world in different places.
+
+"My house goes here, by the tree," Tom says. He tries to move the box.
+
+"No, my castle goes there, by the flower," Lily says. She pulls the box.
+
+They fight over the box. They push and pull and yell. The box tears and breaks. Their world is gone.
+
+They look at the mess. They feel sad and sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily says. "I was mean to you."
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom says. "I was mean to you, too."
+
+They hug and make up. They decide to share the box and make a new world together. They are friends again.
+Lily and Sam were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They also liked to look for shells and crabs.
+
+One day, they saw a big boat on the water. It was white and shiny and had a flag on it. Lily and Sam wanted to go closer and see the boat. They asked their mom and dad if they could.
+
+"OK, but be careful and stay together," their mom said. "We will watch you from here."
+
+Lily and Sam nodded and ran to the water. They held hands and walked along the shore. They saw the boat getting bigger and bigger. They also saw some people on the boat. They waved at them and shouted hello.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a horn from the boat. It made a long and deep sound. It scared Lily and Sam. They stopped and looked at the boat. They saw the people on the boat waving their arms and pointing at something.
+
+Lily and Sam turned around and saw a big wave coming. It was taller than them and very fast. It was going to hit them. They were afraid and did not know what to do.
+
+They screamed. They screamed very loud and very hard. They hoped their mom and dad would hear them and help them.
+
+Their mom and dad did hear them. They saw the wave and the boat and their children. They ran to the water as fast as they could. They reached Lily and Sam just before the wave did. They grabbed them and lifted them up. They hugged them and carried them back to the sand.
+
+Lily and Sam were wet and scared. They cried and clung to their mom and dad. Their mom and dad were wet and worried. They kissed and comforted their children.
+
+"It's OK, it's OK," their mom said. "You are safe now. The wave did not hurt you. The boat did not mean to scare you. It was just saying hello."
+
+"Really?" Lily asked.
+
+"Really," their dad said. "The boat is a friend. It was just passing by. It did not know there was a big wave behind it."
+
+Lily and Sam looked at the boat again. It was far away now. It still had a flag on it. It looked smaller and quieter. They saw the people on the boat waving at them again. They smiled and waved back.
+
+"Can we go back to the water?" Sam asked.
+
+"Not today," their mom said. "Let's go back to our towels and have a snack. Maybe we can play in the water another day."
+
+"OK," Lily and Sam said. They were still a little scared, but they were also hungry and tired. They followed their mom and dad to their towels. They had some juice and cookies. They felt better.
+
+They were glad they had a mom and dad who loved them and protected them. They were glad they had each other to hold hands and scream with. They were patient and brave children. They still liked the beach and the boat. They learned something new that day. They learned that horns can be loud and waves can be big. They also learned that friends can be found in unexpected places.
+Anna was a very obedient girl. She always listened to her mom and dad and did what they asked. She liked to help them with chores, play with her toys and read her books. She was happy and kind.
+
+One day, it was Anna's birthday. She was very excited to see what gift she had. She opened a big box and found a beautiful doll. The doll had long hair, a pretty dress and shiny shoes. Anna loved her doll and hugged her tight. She named her Lily and thanked her mom and dad.
+
+Anna wanted to play with Lily all day. She took her to the garden, the kitchen, the living room and the bedroom. She pretended to feed her, dress her, sing to her and read to her. She was having so much fun.
+
+But then, something strange happened. Lily started to shrink. She became smaller and smaller, until she was as tiny as a bug. Anna was scared and sad. She did not know what to do. She cried and called her mom and dad.
+
+Mom and dad came and saw what happened. They were surprised and worried. They looked at the box and saw a note. It said: "This doll is magic. She will shrink if you play with her too much. She needs rest and love. To make her big again, you have to say sorry and give her a kiss."
+
+Anna felt sorry for Lily. She did not mean to hurt her. She said sorry and gave her a kiss. Lily started to grow again. She became big and beautiful, just like before. Anna was happy and relieved. She learned to be more careful and gentle with her doll. She and Lily became best friends.
+Sara and Tom were sleeping in their tent. They liked camping with their mom and dad. They liked the fire, the stars, and the songs. But they did not like waking up early.
+
+One morning, their mom and dad had a surprise for them. They woke them up very gently and said, "Come on, kids, we have something to show you. Put on your jackets and follow us."
+
+Sara and Tom were sleepy and grumpy. They did not want to leave their cozy tent. But they trusted their mom and dad. They put on their jackets and followed them.
+
+They walked for a little while, until they reached a hill. Their mom and dad told them to sit down and wait. Sara and Tom did not know what they were waiting for. They yawned and rubbed their eyes.
+
+Then, they saw it. The sunrise. The sky was changing colors. It was pink, orange, yellow, and blue. The sun was peeking out from behind the mountains. It was bright and warm. It made everything shine.
+
+Sara and Tom gasped. They had never seen anything like it. It was so beautiful and graceful. They smiled and hugged their mom and dad. They said, "Thank you for the surprise. We love the sunrise. We love you."
+
+Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them back. They said, "We love you too. We're glad you like the surprise. The sunrise is a gift from God. He made it for us to enjoy. He loves us too."
+
+Sara and Tom felt happy and thankful. They watched the sunrise together. They felt God's love in their hearts. They forgot about being sleepy and grumpy. They thanked God for the surprise. They thanked Him for the sunrise. They thanked Him for their mom and dad. They thanked Him for everything.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They had a big red ball and a small blue cap. They liked to throw the ball and catch it with the cap. It was fun.
+
+But then a big dog came. It was black and furry and had sharp teeth. It barked loud and ran fast. It wanted the ball and the cap. Lily and Ben were scared. They ran away and hid behind a tree.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lily shouted. "This is our ball and cap!"
+
+But the dog did not listen. It took the ball and the cap in its mouth and ran away. Lily and Ben were sad. They had no ball and no cap.
+
+Then they saw a boy. He had a yellow bike and a green hat. He saw Lily and Ben and smiled.
+
+"Hi, I'm Sam," he said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They liked Sam. He was nice.
+
+"Here, you can have my hat," Sam said. He gave his hat to Ben. "And you can ride my bike," he said. He gave his bike to Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Sam," Lily and Ben said. "You are very kind."
+
+They played with Sam's bike and hat. They had fun.
+
+Sam showed them how to share. He was a good friend. Lily and Ben were happy. They forgot about the dog and the ball and the cap.
+Lily and Ben love to go to the zoo. They like to see the animals and hear their sounds. They have a favorite animal: the big black bear. The bear is very strong and furry. He likes to eat fish and honey.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben go to the zoo with their mom. They run to the bear's cage. But they see something wrong. The cage is broken. The bear is not inside. He is outside. He is walking around the zoo. He looks scared and angry.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily says. "The bear is out! He can hurt someone!"
+
+"Mom, what can we do?" Ben asks.
+
+Mom is worried too. She sees a zoo worker. She calls him. "Excuse me, sir. The bear's cage is broken. The bear is loose. Can you fix it?"
+
+The zoo worker is surprised. He sees the bear. He grabs a big net. He runs to the bear. He throws the net over the bear. The bear roars. He tries to get out. But the net is strong. The zoo worker calls for help. More zoo workers come. They lift the bear. They carry him back to his cage. They fix the cage. They lock the door.
+
+The bear is safe. He is calm. He goes to his bed. He sniffs his fish and honey.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They clap their hands. They thank the zoo workers.
+
+"Thank you for fixing the cage!" Lily says.
+
+"Thank you for saving the bear!" Ben says.
+
+The zoo workers smile. They say, "You're welcome. We're glad you like the bear. He is a good bear. He was just scared. He didn't mean to escape. He likes his cage. He likes his fish and honey. And he likes you. You are his friends."
+
+Lily and Ben smile too. They wave to the bear. The bear waves back. He makes a soft sound. He is happy. He has his cage. He has his fish and honey. And he has his friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb it.
+
+"Let's go up the hill!" Ben says. "It looks fun!"
+
+"OK!" Anna says. "But be careful. The hill is steep."
+
+They start to climb the hill. They use their hands and feet. They are almost at the top. But then, Ben slips. He falls down the hill. He lands on a rock. He cries.
+
+"Ben! Ben!" Anna shouts. She runs down the hill. She hugs Ben. "Are you OK?"
+
+Ben shakes his head. He points to his arm. His arm is red and swollen. It hurts a lot.
+
+"We need to go to the doctor," Anna says. "The doctor can help you."
+
+She helps Ben stand up. They walk to their house. They tell their mom what happened. Their mom is worried. She takes them to the car. She drives to the doctor.
+
+At the doctor, Ben gets an x-ray. An x-ray is a picture of his bones. The doctor looks at the x-ray. He says Ben has a broken arm. He needs a cast. A cast is a hard thing that wraps around his arm. It helps his arm heal.
+
+"Does it hurt?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"A little," Ben says. "But the doctor says it will get better soon."
+
+Anna smiles. She gives Ben a sticker. It has a star on it. She says, "You are brave, Ben. I am proud of you."
+
+"Thank you, Anna," Ben says. "You are a good sister. You encourage me."
+
+They hug. They are happy. They love each other.
+Tommy liked to point at things. He pointed at the sun, the moon, the stars. He pointed at the birds, the dogs, the cats. He pointed at the cars, the bikes, the buses. He pointed at everything he saw.
+
+One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom. He saw a big basket on a bench. He pointed at the basket and said, "Mom, what is that?" His mom said, "That is a basket. Someone left it there. Maybe they forgot it."
+
+Tommy was curious. He wanted to see what was in the basket. He ran to the bench and opened the basket. He saw a lot of food. There were apples, bananas, bread, cheese, and cookies. Tommy was hungry. He took a cookie and ate it. It was yummy.
+
+But then, he heard a voice. It was a lady. She said, "Hey, that's my basket! That's my food! What are you doing?" She came to the bench and saw Tommy with the cookie. She was angry. She said, "You are a bad boy! You are stealing my food! How dare you!"
+
+Tommy was scared. He dropped the cookie and ran to his mom. He was crying. He said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I was hungry. I just wanted a cookie." His mom hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tommy. I know you didn't mean to. But you should not take things that are not yours. That is wrong. You should say sorry to the lady and give her back the cookie."
+
+Tommy nodded. He was ashamed. He went to the lady and said, "I'm sorry, lady. I'm sorry I took your cookie. Here, you can have it back." He gave her the cookie. The lady looked at him and said, "Thank you, Tommy. I accept your apology. But next time, please ask before you take something. That is polite. And if you are hungry, you can ask me for a cookie. I have plenty. Here, you can have one." She gave him a cookie. Tommy smiled and said, "Thank you, lady. You are nice. Can I point at your basket?" The lady laughed and said, "Sure, Tommy. You can point at my basket. But only point, okay?" Tommy said, "Okay." He pointed at the basket and said, "Basket." The lady said, "Basket." They both laughed. Tommy was happy. He learned a lesson. He learned not to take things that are not his. He learned to say sorry and thank you. He learned to point and ask. He learned to be polite.
+Ben and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite was the big gorilla. He was black and hairy, and he had a funny face.
+
+"Look, he is smiling at us!" Lily said, pointing at the gorilla.
+
+"Maybe he wants to play," Ben said, waving at him.
+
+The gorilla waved back, and then he picked up a banana. He peeled it and ate it. He looked very happy.
+
+"Can we give him another banana?" Ben asked Mom.
+
+"Sure, honey. Here, take this one," Mom said, handing Ben a yellow banana.
+
+Ben walked closer to the cage, and held out the banana. The gorilla reached out his hand, and gently took the banana. He looked at Ben with his big brown eyes, and made a soft sound.
+
+"Thank you," Ben said, smiling.
+
+The gorilla smiled too, and then he bit the banana. But it was a hot day, and the banana was very ripe. It was soft and mushy, and it melted in his mouth. The gorilla made a funny face, and spit out the banana. He shook his head, and wiped his mouth.
+
+"Yuck!" he said, in a voice that sounded like a growl.
+
+Ben and Lily laughed. They thought the gorilla was very funny. They clapped their hands, and cheered.
+
+"Good try, gorilla!" Lily said.
+
+The gorilla laughed too. He threw the banana peel away, and then he gave Ben and Lily a thumbs up. He was happy to have new friends.
+Tom and Anna were curious kids. They liked to look at many things and ask many questions. One day, they went to the store with their mom. The store had many toys, books, and clothes.
+
+"Can we play with the toys, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Only for a little bit, and be careful," mom said. "We have to buy some food and go home soon."
+
+Tom and Anna ran to the toy section. They saw many cars, dolls, puzzles, and blocks. They picked up some toys and started to play. But they did not play nicely. They threw the toys, broke the toys, and made a big mess.
+
+"Look, I can destroy this car!" Tom said, smashing it on the floor.
+
+"No, I can destroy this doll!" Anna said, ripping off its hair.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" mom said, hearing the noise. She came to the toy section and saw the disaster. She was very angry. "What have you done? You have destroyed the toys and the store! You have to pay for them and say sorry!"
+
+Tom and Anna felt very bad. They did not mean to destroy the toys and the store. They just wanted to have fun. But they learned a lesson. They had to be careful and respectful with other people's things. They said sorry to the store owner and helped to clean up the mess. They also gave some of their own toys to the store as a gift. Mom was still mad, but she was also proud. She hugged them and said, "I love you, but don't do that again."
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys on the carpet. Lily had a doll and Ben had a truck. They made noises and pretended to have fun.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my truck is fast and strong!" Ben said.
+
+"Shh, my doll is sleeping, she needs quiet!" Lily said.
+
+Ben did not mind. He liked to make noise. He drove his truck closer to Lily's doll.
+
+"Beep, beep, move your doll, I need space!" Ben said.
+
+Lily minded. She did not like noise. She hugged her doll and moved away.
+
+"Stop, stop, your truck is loud and rude!" Lily said.
+
+Ben and Lily started to argue. They raised their voices and glared at each other.
+
+"Mom, Ben is bothering me!" Lily cried.
+
+"Mom, Lily is bossy!" Ben complained.
+
+Mom heard them and came to the room. She saw them on the carpet, angry and unhappy.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom asked.

+
+Mom sighed and shook her head. She picked up the pieces of the jug and cleaned the water. She gave Mia and Leo a towel to dry themselves.
+

+
+"Who says we can't, Anna?" Ben said. "Let's try them on and pretend we are a king and a queen!"

+
+Mom and Dad saw that Lily and Ben were struggling. They smiled. They said it was okay. They said they could use forks and spoons if they wanted. They said they could order something else if they did not like the food. They said they were proud of them for trying something new.

+
+Her mom looked at the dress and shook her head. "No, Lily, you have enough dresses at home. You don't need another one. Let's go home now," she said.

+
+But she did not know that her mom had a surprise for her. When they got home, her mom took her to her room. There, on her bed, was a new dress. It was not navy, but pink. It was not shiny, but soft. And it had a big flower on the front.
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "This is for you, Lily. I bought it for you yesterday. I wanted to give it to you today, as a reward for being good. But you were not good today. You were very bad. You threw a tantrum in the shop and made me and everyone else unhappy. That is not how a nice girl behaves. You should be ashamed of yourself."
+
+Lily looked at the dress and then at her mom. She felt sorry for what she had done. She realized that she had been selfish and spoiled. She did not deserve the dress or her mom's love.
+
+She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I don't need the navy dress. I like this dress better. Thank you for buying it for me. I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. I'm glad you understand. Now, let's try on the dress and see how it fits. And then, let's have some cookies and milk. How does that sound?"

+
+Lily and Ben felt sad, but they agreed to go home with mom. They picked some strawberries from the garden, and mom helped them wash them and cut them. Then they mixed some flour, butter, sugar, and eggs to make the dough. They rolled the dough and put it in a pan. They added the strawberries and some more sugar on top.

+Lily was shocked. She said, "Oh no! Where is Bob? He is gone! He ran away! He is not my best friend. He is not dependable. He did not stay with me."
+
+But then she heard a voice. It was Bob. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not want to hurt you. But I did not like the jar. I like the dirt. That is my home. That is where I belong. Please let me go. Please thank me for being your friend."
+
+Lily felt sad, but she understood. She said, "I'm sorry, Bob. I did not know. I thought you liked the jar. I thought you liked me. But I see you are happy in the dirt. That is your home. That is where you belong. I will let you go. I thank you for being your friend."

+
+"Hello, dog!" Tom says. He wants to pet the dog. He puts his hand out.
+
+"Tom, no!" Mia says. She is frightened. She knows some dogs can bite. She pulls Tom back.
+
+But the dog is faster. The dog bites Tom's hand. Tom feels pain. He cries out loud.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. He is hurt and scared. He holds his hand.
+
+Mia runs to get help. She finds a lady. The lady is the dog's owner. She is sorry.
+
+"I'm so sorry, little ones!" the lady says. She takes the dog away. She gives Tom a bandage. She says sorry again.
+
+Tom and Mia are sad. They go home. They hug their moms. They learn a lesson.
+
+"Never touch a strange dog," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, never," Mia says.
+
+They are still friends. They still like to play in the park. But they are careful of dogs.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big book with many pictures and words. They want to read the book, but some words are hard.
+
+"Look, Ben, this word is long. Can you read it?" Lily asks, pointing to a word on the page.
+
+Ben looks at the word. He tries to say it, but he does not know it. He shakes his head. "No, Lily, I can't. It is too hard. Can you read it?"
+
+Lily tries to read the word, too. She does not know it, either. She frowns. "No, Ben, I can't. It is too hard for me, too. What can we do?"
+
+They think for a moment. Then, they have an idea. They run to the kitchen, where Lily's mom is. They show her the book and the word.
+
+"Mom, can you help us? We want to read this word, but we don't know it. Can you tell us what it is?" Lily asks, holding the book.
+
+Lily's mom smiles. She takes the book and looks at the word. She says, "This word is 'spell'. It means to say the letters of a word one by one. For example, 'cat' is spelled C-A-T. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They repeat the word and the letters. They are happy. They thank Lily's mom and run back to the playroom. They try to spell other words in the book. They have fun.
+
+"Spell is a good word. I like to spell. Do you like to spell, too, Ben?" Lily asks, smiling.
+
+"Yes, Lily, I do. I like to spell, too. It is fun and serious. We can learn many words with spell. Spell is our new friend." Ben says, smiling back.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the forest. They liked to look for bugs and flowers and make forts with sticks. They found a big rock and set their toys on it. They pretended it was a castle and they were the king and queen.
+
+But then a big dog came. It was dirty and smelly and barked very loud. It ran to the rock and knocked down their toys. It grabbed Lily's doll and ran away. Lily was very sad and cried. Tom was angry and shouted.
+
+"Hey, bad dog! Give back Lily's doll! That is not yours!"
+
+The dog stopped and looked at Tom. It growled and showed its teeth. It did not want to give back the doll. Tom was scared but he wanted to help Lily. He picked up a stick and threw it at the dog. The dog dropped the doll and chased the stick. Tom ran to the doll and gave it to Lily. She hugged him and thanked him.
+
+They ran away from the dog and the rock. They went back to their home and told their mom what happened. She was glad they were safe and gave them cookies and milk. They cleaned their toys and their doll. They decided not to play in the forest anymore. They played in the yard instead. They were happy and had fun.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big box of bulbs that they wanted to plant. Bulbs were like seeds, but bigger and round. They could grow into flowers or vegetables.
+
+Tom and Lily were very organized. They made a plan of where to put each bulb. They dug holes in the dirt and put the bulbs inside. They covered them with more dirt and watered them. They were happy and proud of their work.
+
+But then, a big dog came into the garden. The dog was not nice. He smelled the bulbs and wanted to eat them. He dug up the dirt and spread the bulbs everywhere. He bit some of them and left others on the grass. He made a big mess.
+
+Tom and Lily saw the dog and ran to the garden. They were very sad and angry. They shouted at the dog and tried to chase him away. But the dog was bigger and faster. He barked at them and scared them. He did not listen to them.
+
+The dog ran away with some bulbs in his mouth. Tom and Lily looked at their ruined garden. They had no more bulbs to plant. They had no more flowers or vegetables to grow. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had a fence to keep the dog out. They wished they had a nice dog to play with. They wished they had a happy ending.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with toys in their room. But they do not like to share. One day, they find a big pan in the kitchen. They both want to play with it.
+
+"I saw it first!" Tom says. He grabs the pan and runs to his bed.
+
+"No, I want it!" Sam says. He chases Tom and tries to pull the pan from him.
+
+They tug and tug on the pan. They are both very strong. But the pan is not. It makes a loud noise. It splits in two!
+
+Tom and Sam look at the broken pan. They are shocked. They are scared. They are sad. They know Mom will be angry.
+
+They hear Mom coming. They hide the pan under the bed. They hope she will not find out.
+
+But Mom is smart. She sees the pan handle sticking out. She pulls it out and sees the split pan. She is frustrated. She is disappointed. She is mad.
+
+"Who did this?" she asks. She looks at Tom and Sam. They look down. They do not say anything.
+
+Mom sighs. She says, "You need to learn to share. And you need to be careful with things. And you need to tell the truth. Now, you have to help me clean up this mess. And you have to say sorry to each other. And you have to play nicely. Or you will have no toys at all."
+
+Tom and Sam nod. They feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They help Mom clean up the pan. They hug and make up. They decide to share their toys. They do not want to break anything else. They do not want to make Mom frustrated. They want to make her happy.
+Tim and Jen are playing in the park. They see a big, bald man. He is not nice. He takes Jen's doll and runs away. Jen is sad. She cries.

+Tim is angry. He wants to help Jen. He runs after the big, bald man. He shouts, "Stop! Give back the doll!" But the big, bald man does not stop. He laughs.
+
+Tim sees a phone. He knows how to use it. He calls the police. He says, "Help! A big, bald man took Jen's doll. We are in the park. Please come fast!"
+
+The police hear Tim. They say, "Don't worry. We are coming." They send a car with a siren. The siren is loud. It scares the big, bald man. He drops the doll and runs away.
+
+The police find the doll. They give it back to Jen. Jen is happy. She hugs the doll. She says, "Thank you, Tim. Thank you, police. You are very brave and kind." Tim and Jen smile. They are friends. They play with the doll. They have fun.

+
+One day, Tim and Spot are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many apples on it. Tim is hungry and wants to eat an apple. He tries to reach the apples, but they are too high. He asks Spot to help him. Spot is a smart dog. He stands on his hind legs and pushes Tim up with his nose. Tim grabs an apple and thanks Spot.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a bear who is also hungry and wants to eat the apples. The bear is big and scary. He roars and shakes the tree. The apples fall down and the bear eats them. Tim and Spot are afraid. They do not want to be eaten by the bear.
+
+They see a swing nearby. They run to the swing and jump on it. They swing back and forth, faster and faster. The bear cannot catch them. He is angry and confused. He does not understand the motion of the swing. He tries to swipe at them, but he misses. He growls and stomps his feet.
+
+Tim and Spot are smart and brave. They wait until the bear is tired and gives up. Then they jump off the swing and run away. They find a safe place to eat their apple. They share it and enjoy it. They are happy and proud. They hug each other and smile. They are best friends.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But today, they are bored. They have played with all their toys many times. They want to do something new and fun.
+
+They look out the window and see a big truck. The truck has a hook on the back. The hook can lift things and move them. Lily and Max think the hook is cool. They want to see what the truck can do.
+
+They rush to the door and put on their shoes. They run down the stairs and out of the house. They follow the truck to the park. They see the truck stop near a big pile of dirt. The truck driver gets out and talks to a man with a hat.
+
+The truck driver goes back to the truck and starts the engine. He moves the hook over the pile of dirt. He lowers the hook and grabs some dirt. He lifts the hook and swings it over to a hole. He drops the dirt in the hole. He does this again and again.
+
+Lily and Max watch the truck and the hook. They think it is fun and exciting. They clap their hands and cheer. They forget about their boring toys. They are happy to see something new and fun.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the snow. They make snowballs and snowmen. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a fat cat in the snow. The cat is black and white. It looks cold and hungry. Tom and Lily want to help the cat.
+
+"Let's count how many snowballs we have," Tom says. "Maybe we can give some to the cat."
+
+"Okay," Lily says. They count their snowballs. They have ten snowballs.
+
+"Let's give five snowballs to the cat," Tom says. "We can keep five for ourselves."
+
+"Good idea," Lily says. They go to the cat. They put five snowballs near the cat. The cat looks at them. It meows.
+
+"Hello, cat," Tom says. "We want to be your friends. We have some snowballs for you. You can eat them or play with them."
+
+The cat sniffs the snowballs. It does not like them. It does not want to eat them or play with them. It shakes its head. It walks away.
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They do not understand why the cat does not like their snowballs.
+
+"Maybe the cat does not like snow," Lily says. "Maybe it likes something else."
+
+"Like what?" Tom asks.
+
+"Like milk or fish or meat," Lily says. "Maybe we can find some for the cat."
+
+"Okay," Tom says. "Let's go and look."
+
+They leave their snowballs and go to look for some food for the cat. They find some milk in a bottle, some fish in a can and some meat in a bag. They take them to the cat.
+
+"Look, cat," Lily says. "We have some milk and fish and meat for you. You can drink and eat them. They are yummy."
+
+The cat sees the milk and fish and meat. It likes them. It wants to drink and eat them. It purrs.
+
+"Thank you, kids," the cat says. "You are very kind and generous. You have given me what I need. You are good friends."
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They understand why the cat likes their food. They smile.
+
+"You are welcome, cat," Tom says. "We are glad you like our food. We are happy to share with you."
+
+They sit with the cat. They pet the cat. They talk to the cat. They have fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Different animals have different needs and preferences. We should respect them and try to help them in the best way we can. Sharing is caring.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they do not like to clean their room. They throw their toys and books everywhere. They also do not like to wash their sheets. They say washing is boring.
+
+One day, Mom comes to their room. She sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Anna and Ben, you have to clean your room. And you have to wash your sheets. They are dirty and smelly. If you do not wash them, you will get sick."
+
+Anna and Ben do not want to listen. They say, "No, Mom, we do not want to clean. We do not want to wash. We want to play. Washing is boring. And we do not care if our sheets are dirty and smelly. We like them that way."
+
+Mom is angry. She says, "No, Anna and Ben, you have to do what I say. You are being naughty. If you do not clean and wash, you will have no toys and books. And you will have to sleep on ugly sheets. They are old and torn and have holes. They are not cozy and soft like your sheets. You will not like them at all."
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They do not want to lose their toys and books. They do not want to sleep on ugly sheets. They say, "Sorry, Mom, we will do what you say. We will clean our room. And we will wash our sheets. Please do not take away our toys and books. And please do not give us ugly sheets."
+
+Mom is glad. She says, "That's good, Anna and Ben. I am proud of you. If you clean and wash, you will have a nice and clean room. And you will have fresh and cozy sheets. You will sleep better and feel better. And you will have more fun with your toys and books."

+Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big, fluffy dog. The dog looked friendly and harmless. Sara and Tom wanted to pet the dog.
+
+They ran to the dog and said hello. The dog wagged its tail and licked their faces. Sara and Tom giggled and hugged the dog. They decided to settle next to the dog and take a nap. They were very tired from playing.
+
+But the dog was not friendly and harmless. The dog was hungry and angry. The dog did not like strangers. The dog waited until Sara and Tom were asleep. Then the dog bit them hard. Sara and Tom cried and screamed. They were hurt and scared.
+
+Their mom heard them and ran to the garden. She saw the dog and shouted. She scared the dog away. She picked up Sara and Tom and took them to the house. She called the doctor. She was sad and angry.
+
+Sara and Tom had a bad nap. They had a bad day. They learned to be careful with dogs. They did not like the dog. The dog was bad. The end.
+Sara liked to watch cartoons on TV. She liked the funny animals and the bright colors. She had a favorite cartoon about a dog and a cat who were friends. The dog was big and strong and dependable. The cat was small and smart and curious.
+
+One day, Sara's mom said they had to go to the store. Sara did not want to go. She wanted to watch her cartoon. She asked her mom if she could stay home and watch TV.
+
+"No, Sara, you have to come with me. It's not safe to stay home alone. I'll explain why later. Come on, let's go." Mom said.
+
+Sara was sad and angry. She did not understand why she had to go. She did not care about the store. She wanted to see what the dog and the cat would do next. She hoped they would have a fun adventure.
+
+Mom and Sara got in the car and drove to the store. Sara was bored and quiet. She looked out the window and saw nothing interesting. She wished she had her cartoon.
+
+When they got to the store, mom parked the car and got out. She opened the door for Sara and said, "Come on, Sara, let's go inside. I have a surprise for you."
+
+Sara did not believe her mom. She thought mom was lying. She did not want a surprise. She wanted her cartoon. She stayed in the car and said, "No, mom, I don't want to go. I want to watch my cartoon. Please, mom, let me watch my cartoon."
+
+Mom sighed and said, "Sara, please, trust me. I have something very special for you. Something you will love more than your cartoon. Something that will make you very happy. Please, come with me. You'll see."
+
+Sara was curious. She wondered what mom had for her. She wondered if it was better than her cartoon. She decided to give mom a chance. She got out of the car and followed mom inside the store.
+
+Mom led Sara to a big aisle with lots of toys. Sara saw dolls and cars and blocks and books. She saw many things she liked. But she did not see anything that made her very happy.
+
+Then, mom stopped at a shelf and pointed to something. Sara looked and gasped. She could not believe her eyes. She saw a big box with a picture of her favorite cartoon on it. It was a DVD with all the episodes of the dog and the cat. Mom smiled and said, "Surprise, Sara! This is for you. I know how much you love this cartoon. Now you can watch it anytime you want. You don't have to depend on the TV schedule. You can choose when and what to watch. Isn't that great?"
+
+Sara was overjoyed. She hugged mom and said, "Thank you, mom! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the best mom ever! You are so kind and generous and dependable. I'm sorry I was mad at you. I love you, mom!"
+
+Mom hugged Sara back and said, "I love you too, Sara. You are my sweet and smart and curious girl. I'm glad you like your surprise. I wanted to explain why we had to go to the store, but I wanted to keep it a secret. I hope you understand."
+
+Sara nodded and said, "I understand, mom. You wanted to make me happy. And you did. You made me very happy. Can we go home and watch my cartoon now?"
+
+Mom laughed and said, "Of course, Sara. Let's go home and watch your cartoon. And maybe we can watch it together. I like the dog and the cat too. They are very funny and friendly."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Yes, mom. Let's watch it together. They are very funny and friendly. Just like us."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go to the cave!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the hill and crawled into the hole. It was dark and cold. They used a flashlight to look around. They saw rocks and dirt and bugs. They also saw something shiny.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. He picked up a coin with a star on it. "It's a treasure!"
+
+"Let me see!" Lily said. She took the coin from Tom. "It's so pretty!"
+
+They heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a big bear. It was angry and hungry. It wanted the coin.
+
+"Run!" Tom said.
+
+They dropped the coin and ran out of the cave. The bear followed them. It was fast and strong.
+
+"Help!" Lily said.
+
+They saw a man with a dog. The man saw the bear and shouted.
+
+"Stop!" The man said. He threw a stick at the bear. The bear stopped and looked at the stick. It liked sticks. It forgot about the coin and the kids. It ran to the stick and played with it.
+
+The man and the dog came to Tom and Lily. They were scared and tired.
+
+"Are you OK?" The man asked.
+
+"Yes, thank you!" Tom said.
+
+"You saved us!" Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome!" The man said. "That was a brave and successful adventure, but also very dangerous. You should not go into the cave again. There might be more bears or other things."
+
+"OK, we won't!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+They hugged the man and the dog. They went back to the park. They did not need the coin. They had each other. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big bag of peanuts on a bench. They are hungry and want to eat some.
+
+"Can we have some peanuts?" Tom asks Mia.
+
+"Yes, let's share them. But we have to be careful. Some people are allergic to peanuts. They can get sick if they eat them," Mia says.
+
+They open the bag and take some peanuts. They are crunchy and salty. They like them a lot. They eat and eat until the bag is almost empty.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is a big dog. It is barking and running towards them. It wants the peanuts too.
+
+"Uh-oh, a dog!" Tom says.
+
+"Run, run!" Mia says.
+
+They drop the bag and run away. The dog chases them. It is very fast and noisy. It is scary.
+
+They run to the slide. They climb up and slide down. The dog cannot follow them. It is too big for the slide. It stays at the bottom and barks.
+
+"Ha-ha, we are safe!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, we are. But we lost the peanuts," Mia says.
+
+They look at the bag. It is on the ground. The dog is sniffing it. It does not like the peanuts. It is dry and boring. It wants something juicy and tasty.
+
+The dog leaves the bag and runs away. It finds a fountain. It drinks some water. It is happy and wet.
+
+Tom and Mia are happy too. They do not need the peanuts. They have each other. They are friends. They play in the park. They have fun.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the garden. They have a big truck, a doll, a ball and a teddy bear. They are having fun, but then the truck breaks. The wheel falls off and the truck cannot move.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna says. "The truck is broken. We need to repair it."
+
+Ben nods. He is good at fixing things. He gets his tools from the shed. He has a hammer, a screwdriver, a wrench and some tape. He works hard to put the wheel back on the truck. He uses the screwdriver, the wrench and the tape.
+
+"There!" Ben says. "The truck is repaired. It can move again."
+
+Anna claps. She is happy. She hugs Ben and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a great repairer. You fixed the truck."
+
+Ben smiles. He is proud. He hugs Anna and says, "You are welcome, Anna. You are a great helper. You gave me the tools."
+
+They play with the truck again. They make it go fast and slow, left and right, up and down. They have more fun.
+
+Then they hear their mom calling them. "Anna! Ben! It's time for lunch!"
+
+They run to the house. They wash their hands and sit at the table. Mom has made them sandwiches, fruit and juice. They are hungry and eat their lunch.
+
+Mom looks at them and says, "You are adorable, Anna and Ben. You played so nicely together. And you repaired the truck. You are very clever."
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They love their mom. They love their toys. They love each other. They are happy.
+Sara loved her toy doll. She named her Lily and gave her a pink dress and a hat. Lily was delicate. Sara had to be careful not to break her or make her dirty.
+
+One day, Sara wanted to play with Lily outside. She put on her shoes and coat and took Lily with her. She saw some other children playing in the park. They had balls, bikes, and cars. Sara wanted to join them, but she was shy.
+
+"Hello, can I play with you?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, what do you have?" one of the children said.
+
+"I have Lily, my toy doll. She is delicate. I like to march with her and sing songs," Sara said.
+
+The other children looked at Lily and laughed.
+
+"That's a silly toy. Dolls are for babies. You can't march with a doll. You need a real toy, like a car or a bike," one of them said.
+
+Sara felt sad and angry. She did not like the way they talked to her and Lily.
+
+"Lily is not silly. She is my friend. I can march with her if I want to. You are mean and rude," she said.
+
+She turned around and marched away with Lily. She did not care what they said. She loved her toy doll and she was proud of her. She sang a song to Lily and hugged her. Lily smiled at her. Sara was happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and eat pasta. Pasta is their favorite food. They like it with cheese and sauce.
+
+One day, Mom makes pasta for lunch. She puts it on the table and calls Lily and Ben. "Come and eat, my lovely children!" she says.
+
+Lily and Ben run to the table. They see the pasta and smile. They sit on their chairs and take their forks. They start to eat the pasta. It is yummy and warm.
+
+But Ben eats too fast. He eats more pasta than Lily. He wants to eat all the pasta. He does not share with Lily. Lily sees that Ben has more pasta than her. She feels sad and angry.
+
+"Ben, you are eating too much pasta!" she says. "You have to share with me! It is not fair!"
+
+Ben looks at Lily. He does not want to share. He wants to eat all the pasta. He thinks of a way to trick Lily. He says, "Lily, look! There is a bird outside the window! It is very big and colorful!"
+
+Lily loves birds. She turns her head to look at the window. She does not see any bird. She only sees the sky and the trees. She says, "Ben, I don't see any bird. Where is it?"
+
+Ben laughs. He says, "Ha ha, I lied to you, Lily! There is no bird. I just wanted to eat more pasta!"
+
+He takes Lily's plate and puts it in front of him. He eats Lily's pasta too. He is very greedy.
+
+Lily sees what Ben did. She feels very sad and angry. She says, "Ben, you are very mean! You lied to me and took my pasta! You are not a good brother!"
+
+She starts to cry. She does not want to eat anymore. She pushes her chair and runs to her room. She slams the door.
+
+Mom hears Lily cry and Ben laugh. She comes to the table. She sees what Ben did. She is very upset. She says, "Ben, what did you do? Why did you lie to Lily and take her pasta? That is very rude and selfish!"
+
+Ben stops laughing. He feels ashamed. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was hungry and I wanted to eat all the pasta. I did not think about Lily's feelings."
+
+Mom says, "Ben, that is not a good excuse. You have to think about Lily's feelings. She is your sister and you have to share with her. Lying and taking are not nice things to do. They hurt other people. How would you feel if Lily did that to you?"
+
+Ben thinks. He says, "I would feel sad and angry too. I would not like it."
+
+Mom says, "Then you have to say sorry to Lily and give her some pasta. You have to make up with her and be a good brother. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben nods. He says, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I will say sorry to Lily and give her some pasta. I will be a good brother."
+
+Mom says, "That's good, Ben. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now go and find Lily and make her happy."
+
+Ben takes some pasta from his plate and puts it on Lily's plate. He goes to Lily's room. He knocks on the door. He says, "Lily, can I come in? I want to say sorry to you."
+
+Lily hears Ben's voice. She is still sad and angry. She says, "Go away, Ben. I don't want to talk to you. You lied to me and took my pasta. You are very mean!"
+
+Ben says, "I know, Lily. I'm very sorry. I was wrong. I should not have lied to you and taken your pasta. I should have shared with you. You are my sister and I love you. Please forgive me."
+
+Lily listens to Ben. She sees that he is sorry. She says, "Do you really mean it, Ben? Do you really love me?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, Lily. I really mean it. I really love you. You are my lovely sister. Please open the door and let me in."
+
+Lily opens the door. She sees Ben. He has a plate of pasta in his hand. He says, "Lily, this is for you. I brought you some pasta. I hope you like it. It is yummy and warm."
+
+Lily sees the pasta. She smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. That is very nice of you. I like pasta. It is my favorite food."
+
+Ben says, "You're welcome, Lily. Can I eat with you? I have some pasta too. We can share and eat together."
+

+Sara and Ben liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were cooks and make food for their dolls and cars. One day, they found a big box in the corner. It had a picture of a stove on it. Sara and Ben wanted to see the stove.
+
+They opened the box and saw a shiny stove. It had four parts on top and a door in the front. Sara and Ben were happy. They took the stove out of the box and put it on the floor. They wanted to try it.
+
+They turned the parts on top and heard a click. They saw a blue flame come out. They were scared. They did not know the stove was real. They thought it was a toy. They ran to their mom and told her what happened.
+
+Mom was angry. She went to the kitchen and saw the stove. She turned it off and put it back in the box. She called the store and said they sent her the wrong thing. She said she wanted a cheap stove, not a real one. She said she wanted to send it back.
+
+The store said they were sorry. They said they made a mistake. They said they would send a cheap stove and take the real one. Sara and Ben were sad. They liked the stove. They wanted to play with it. Mom said no. She said it was dangerous. She said they could only play with toys. Sara and Ben said okay. They hugged mom and said they were sorry. Mom hugged them and said she loved them. She said they could play with the cheap stove when it came. Sara and Ben smiled. They hoped it would come soon.
+Anna was a princess who liked to learn new things. She had many books and toys in her big room. She also had a friend who was a teacher. Her name was Lily.
+
+Lily came to visit Anna every week. She would teach Anna how to read, write, and count. She would also teach Anna how to sing, dance, and draw. Anna loved learning with Lily. She felt happy and smart.
+
+One day, Lily brought a surprise for Anna. It was a bike. It had two wheels, a seat, and a bell. Lily said, "Anna, I want to teach you how to ride a bike. It is fun and good for you. You can go fast and explore new places. Do you want to try?"
+
+Anna was excited and curious. She said, "Yes, I want to try. But I don't know how to ride a bike. Will you help me?"
+
+Lily said, "Of course, I will help you. But you have to be brave and independent. You have to balance and pedal by yourself. I will hold the bike for you at first, but then you have to let go and ride on your own. Are you ready?"
+
+Anna nodded and smiled. She put on a helmet and got on the bike. Lily held the bike and ran with Anna. Anna felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She rang the bell and laughed. She said, "This is fun! I like riding a bike!"
+
+Lily said, "You are doing great, Anna! You are a fast learner. Now, I will let go of the bike and you will ride by yourself. Don't be afraid. You can do it!"
+
+Lily let go of the bike and Anna kept pedaling. She felt a little scared, but also proud and independent. She said, "Look, Lily, I can ride a bike by myself! I did it!"
+
+Lily clapped and cheered. She said, "You did it, Anna! You are amazing! You are a princess who can ride a bike. You are a princess who can learn anything. I am so happy for you!"
+
+Anna stopped the bike and hugged Lily. She said, "Thank you, Lily, for teaching me how to ride a bike. You are the best teacher and friend. I love you!"
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, Anna. You are the best princess and student. You make me proud!"
+
+They smiled and rode the bike together. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot. They were happy and independent. They were princesses who could do anything.
+Anna liked to look at the stars at night. She had a big book with pictures of stars and planets and moons. She wanted to see them for real. Her dad said maybe one day they could go to a place where the sky was very clear and dark, and they could use a big glass to see more stars.
+
+One night, Anna saw something very bright and fast in the sky. It was a comet, her dad said. A comet was a big rock with a long tail of fire. It was very rare and special to see a comet. Anna was very happy and excited. She wanted to make a wish on the comet, like in her book.
+
+She ran to the window and looked for the comet again. But it was gone. She felt sad and disappointed. She asked her dad, "Where did the comet go? Can we see it again?"
+
+Her dad hugged her and said, "The comet is still there, but it is very far away. It only comes close to the earth sometimes, and then it goes away again. We were very lucky to see it tonight. Maybe we will see it again in many years, when you are grown up."
+
+Anna thought about that. She said, "I don't want to wait that long. I want to see the comet again now. Can we go after it?"
+
+Her dad smiled and said, "No, we can't go after it. It is too fast and too far. But we can do something else. We can make a picture of the comet and hang it on your wall. Then you can see it every night and remember how lucky we were."
+
+Anna liked that idea. She said, "Yes, let's do that. Can we use glitter and stickers and crayons?"
+
+Her dad said, "Of course we can. Anything you want. But first, you have to mind your teeth and go to bed. It is very late and you need to sleep."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "OK, dad. But tomorrow, can we make the picture?"
+
+Her dad said, "Yes, tomorrow we can make the picture. And maybe we can also read more stories about comets and stars and planets. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna said, "That sounds great. I love you, dad."
+
+Her dad said, "I love you too, Anna. Good night, sweetie."
+
+He kissed her and tucked her in. He turned off the light and left the door open a little. Anna closed her eyes and dreamed of comets and stars and planets. She felt very lucky.
+Ben was sick. He had a red nose and a sore throat. He did not want to play or eat. His mom gave him medicine, but he did not like it. It was bitter and yucky.
+
+"Mom, I don't want medicine. It makes me feel worse," Ben said.
+
+"Ben, you have to take your medicine. It will help you get better. It will make the germs go away," his mom said.
+
+She held a spoon with some medicine and tried to put it in Ben's mouth. But Ben closed his lips and turned his head. He did not want the medicine.
+
+He saw his dad come in the room. He had a big smile and a book in his hand.
+
+"Dad, can you read me a story?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, Ben. What story do you want?" his dad asked.
+
+Ben looked at the book. It had a picture of a lion and a mouse on the cover. He liked that story. It was about a lion who let a mouse escape from his paw. The mouse was different from the lion, but they became friends.
+
+"I want the lion and the mouse story," Ben said.
+
+"Okay, Ben. But first, you have to take your medicine. It's only a little bit. You can do it," his dad said.
+
+He took the spoon from his mom and held it near Ben's mouth. He made a funny face and said, "Open wide, here comes the airplane!"
+
+Ben giggled and opened his mouth. He swallowed the medicine quickly. It was still bitter and yucky, but he did not mind. He wanted to hear the story.
+
+"Good job, Ben. You are very brave. Now, let's read the story," his dad said.
+
+He opened the book and started to read. Ben listened and looked at the pictures. He forgot about his red nose and his sore throat. He felt happy and cozy. He liked the story. He liked his dad and his mom. He hoped he would get better soon.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and find shiny things. Sometimes they found rocks, sometimes they found shells, sometimes they found coins. They put them in a bucket and showed them to their mom.
+
+One day, they found something very special. It was a crystal. It was clear and sparkly and had many colors. Anna and Ben both wanted to have it. They pulled and tugged and shouted.
+
+"Mine!" said Anna.
+
+"No, mine!" said Ben.
+
+They were so angry that they did not see their mom coming. She saw them fighting and took the crystal from them.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" she said. "This is not how you share. This crystal is too pretty to break. Why don't you take turns holding it and looking at it?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for being mean. They nodded and said sorry to their mom and to each other.
+
+"Can I hold it first?" asked Anna.
+
+"OK, but only for a little while," said Ben.
+
+Anna smiled and held the crystal. She saw the sun make rainbows on it. She showed it to Ben and said, "Look, it's so beautiful!"
+
+Ben smiled and agreed. He waited patiently for his turn. He was happy that Anna was happy.
+
+When Anna was done, she gave the crystal to Ben. He held it and saw the stars reflect on it. He showed it to Anna and said, "Look, it's so magical!"
+
+Anna smiled and agreed. She was happy that Ben was happy.
+
+They hugged each other and thanked their mom for being helpful. They decided to keep the crystal in their bucket and share it with each other. They learned that sharing was more fun than fighting. They played in the garden until it was time to go inside. They were the best of friends.
+Sara liked to play with her mom's makeup. She wanted to look pretty like her mom. But her mom said makeup was not for little girls. She said Sara had to be obedient and wait until she was older.
+
+One day, Sara saw her mom's makeup bag on the table. She thought her mom was busy in the kitchen. She decided to sneak a peek. She opened the bag and saw many colors and brushes. She wanted to try them on. She thought it would improve her look.
+
+She took a red lipstick and put it on her mouth. She took a blue eyeshadow and put it on her eyes. She took a pink blush and put it on her cheeks. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She thought she looked very pretty.
+
+But then she heard her mom's voice. "Sara, what are you doing?" Her mom came into the room and saw Sara's face. She was not happy. She said Sara was naughty and messy. She said Sara had to wash her face and put the makeup back. She said Sara had to be obedient and listen to her mom.
+
+Sara felt sad and sorry. She did not mean to make her mom angry. She said she was sorry and she loved her mom. She went to the bathroom and washed her face. She put the makeup back in the bag. She hugged her mom and said she would be obedient. Her mom hugged her back and said she loved her too. She said Sara was pretty without makeup. She said Sara would improve her look when she was older. She said Sara was a good girl. Sara smiled and felt happy. She learned her lesson.
+Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and make figures out of clay. They had a lot of fun with their figures. They made animals, people, cars and houses. Sometimes they pretended that their figures were alive and talked to them.
+
+Today was their birthday. They were very happy. Their mom and dad made a big cake with candles and frosting. They invited their friends to come and celebrate with them. They had balloons, hats, games and music. They sang happy birthday and blew out the candles. They ate cake and ice cream and opened their presents.
+
+But they also made a big mess. They spilled juice and frosting on the floor. They threw clay and paper everywhere. They broke some of their figures and toys. Their mom and dad were not happy. They told Anna and Ben to clean up their mess. They said they had to put away their toys and figures and throw away the trash.
+
+Anna and Ben did not want to clean up. They wanted to keep playing and celebrating. They said it was their birthday and they should have fun. They said they would clean up later. But their mom and dad said no. They said they had to clean up now or they would not get any more cake or ice cream.
+
+Anna and Ben were sad and angry. They did not like to clean up. They thought it was boring and hard. They wished they could celebrate more. But they knew they had to listen to their mom and dad. They said sorry and started to clean up their mess. They hoped they could still have some cake and ice cream later. They hoped their mom and dad would still love them. They hoped their figures would not be mad at them.
+Lila was a little girl who liked to play dress up. She had a big box of clothes and hats and shoes that she could wear. One day, she found a feather boa in the box. It was long and fluffy and pink. Lila put it around her neck and felt very fancy.
+
+She went to show her mom, who was in the kitchen. "Look, mom, I have a feather!" she said, holding the boa. "Do you like it?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You look very pretty, Lila. But you know, that is not a real feather. It is a fake feather. It is made of yarn and dye. Real feathers come from birds, like ducks and chickens and peacocks."
+
+Lila was surprised. She did not know that feathers came from birds. She asked, "Can I see a real feather, mom?"
+
+Mom said, "Sure, I have some in the craft drawer. Come with me." She took Lila to the living room, where she had a drawer full of paper, glue, scissors, and other things to make art. She opened the drawer and took out a small bag of feathers. They were different colors and shapes and sizes. Some were soft and some were stiff. Some were shiny and some were dull.
+
+Mom gave Lila a feather to touch. It was white and smooth and had a thin stem. Lila felt it with her fingers and said, "Wow, this is a real feather. It is very different from the fake feather. It is more light and more thin."
+
+Mom said, "Yes, it is. Real feathers help birds fly and keep warm and look beautiful. Fake feathers are just for fun and decoration. They are both nice, but in different ways."
+
+Lila nodded and said, "I understand, mom. Thank you for showing me the real feather. Can I keep it?"
+
+Mom said, "Of course, you can. You can use it to make a picture or a bookmark or a necklace. Or you can just keep it in your pocket. It is yours."
+
+Lila hugged mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you."
+
+Mom hugged Lila back and said, "I love you too, Lila. You are very smart and curious. And you look very pretty with both feathers."
+Ben and Mia were playing in their room. They had a big carpet with many colors and shapes. They liked to pretend it was a magic carpet that could fly. They put their toys on the carpet and said, "Up, up, and away!"
+
+But their mom did not like their game. She said, "Stop that! You are making too much noise. And you are messing up the carpet. It is not a toy. It is for the floor." She took away their toys and told them to be quiet.
+
+Ben and Mia were sad and angry. They did not want to stop playing. They wanted to escape from their mom. They had an idea. They said, "Let's hide under the carpet. Maybe she will not find us. And we can still pretend we are flying."
+
+They lifted the carpet and crawled under it. They covered themselves with the carpet and giggled. They felt fine. They said, "We are so smart. We are on a secret adventure. We can go anywhere we want."
+
+But they did not know that their mom was in the kitchen. She was making a cake. She needed to put the cake in the oven. She needed a big tray. She saw the carpet in the room. She thought, "That carpet is perfect. It is big and flat. I can use it to carry the cake."
+
+She went to the room and grabbed the carpet. She did not see Ben and Mia under it. She lifted the carpet and put it on the tray. She put the cake on the carpet. She said, "There. That will do. Now I can bake the cake."
+
+She carried the tray to the oven. She opened the oven and slid the tray inside. She closed the oven and turned it on. She did not hear Ben and Mia scream. She did not know they were trapped under the carpet. She did not know they were in danger.
+
+Ben and Mia felt the heat. They felt the cake on top of them. They felt the carpet burn. They tried to escape. But they could not. They were stuck. They were scared. They cried. They said, "Help! Help! Mom! Mom!"
+
+But no one heard them. No one helped them. They were too late. The end.
+Lila liked to bounce. She bounced on her bed, on the sofa, on the ball. She bounced so high that she could see the moon. The moon was big and round and bright. Lila wanted to bounce on the moon.
+
+One night, Lila had a dream. She was in a rocket with her teddy bear. The rocket flew up and up and up, until it reached the moon. Lila and teddy got out of the rocket and looked around. The moon was different from the earth. It was gray and dusty and had holes. Lila and teddy bounced on the moon. They bounced higher and higher and higher, because the moon had less pull. They had fun bouncing on the moon.
+
+But then, Lila saw something scary. A big green monster with sharp teeth and long claws was bouncing towards them. The monster wanted to eat Lila and teddy. Lila and teddy were afraid. They ran back to the rocket and got in. The rocket flew away from the moon and back to the earth. Lila and teddy were safe.
+
+Lila woke up from her dream. She was in her bed, with teddy by her side. She hugged teddy and smiled. She liked to bounce, but she liked the earth more than the moon. The earth was not different. The earth was home.
+Bobby was playing with his toy cars in his room. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He had a lot of cars, but his favorite was the red one. It was shiny and fast and had a belt on the back.
+
+He heard a knock on the door. It was his sister, Lily. She was holding a tissue in her hand. She looked sick.
+
+"Can I play with you?" she asked.
+
+Bobby shook his head. He did not want to share his cars. He did not like Lily. She was always mean to him.
+
+"Go away!" he said. "You are sick. You will make me sick too."
+
+Lily frowned. She wanted to play with the cars. She liked the red one. It was shiny and fast and had a belt on the back.
+
+She sneezed into the tissue. She threw the tissue on the floor. She ran into the room and grabbed the red car.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Bobby yelled. He tried to take the car back. He pulled on the belt.
+
+Lily pulled harder. She sneezed again. She did not cover her mouth.
+
+"Yuck!" Bobby said. "That's disgusting. You sneezed on my car. You are gross."
+
+He let go of the belt. He did not want the car anymore. He ran out of the room. He looked for his mom.
+
+Lily smiled. She had the car. She did not care if it was dirty. She liked the red one. It was shiny and fast and had a belt on the back.
+Lily liked to go to the gym with her mom. The gym had a big room with toys and books and other kids to play with. Lily's mom would do exercises in another room and come back to get her when she was done.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new toy in the gym. It was a big truck with wheels and buttons and lights. Lily wanted to play with it very much. She ran to the toy and grabbed it. But another kid was playing with it too. He was a boy with curly hair and a blue shirt. He did not want to share the toy with Lily.
+
+"Mine!" he said. "Go away!"
+
+"No, mine!" Lily said. "I saw it first!"
+
+They both pulled the toy and shouted. The toy made loud noises. The other kids looked at them and frowned. The teacher came to see what was wrong.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing?" the teacher asked. "You know you have to share the toys with everyone."
+
+"But I want this toy!" Lily said. "He won't let me have it!"
+
+The teacher looked at the boy. "What is your name?" she asked.
+
+"Tommy," he said.
+
+"Tommy, do you want to share the toy with Lily?" the teacher asked.
+
+"No," Tommy said. "It's mine!"
+
+The teacher sighed. "You both need to be more thoughtful. You can't demand to have the toy all the time. You have to take turns and play nicely. How about you play with it for five minutes, and then let Lily have it for five minutes? And then you can switch again. Does that sound fair?"
+
+Lily and Tommy thought about it. They both wanted the toy, but they also wanted to have fun and make friends. They nodded.
+
+"Okay," they said.
+
+The teacher smiled. "Good. Now, let's set the timer and start playing. And remember, be thoughtful and kind to each other."
+
+Lily and Tommy played with the toy. They pushed the buttons and made the lights flash. They rolled the wheels and pretended to drive. They even talked to each other and laughed. They had a good time. They learned to share and be thoughtful. And they became friends.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds like vroom and beep when they move them on the floor. Sometimes they pretend they are drivers and go to different places.
+
+One day, they decide to play a game. They each choose a car and line them up at the start. They say they will race to the end of the room and see who is faster. They count to three and then zoom off with their cars.
+
+Sara's car is red and shiny. She thinks it is very fast. Ben's car is blue and old. He thinks it is very strong. They both try to get ahead of each other. They pass by the sofa, the table, and the chair. They are almost at the end.
+
+But then, Sara sees something on the floor. It is a big book with many pictures. She likes books. She wants to look at it. She pauses her car and picks up the book. She opens it and sees a friendly dog on the first page. She smiles and says "woof".
+
+Ben sees that Sara has stopped. He thinks he can win now. He pushes his car faster and faster. He is about to reach the end. But then, he hears Sara say "woof". He looks at her and sees the book. He likes books too. He wants to see the dog. He pauses his car and goes to Sara. He sits next to her and looks at the book. He says "woof" too.
+
+They forget about the race. They look at the book together. They see more friendly animals on the pages. They make sounds like "moo" and "meow" and "quack". They laugh and have fun. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben like to play with poppies. Poppies are red flowers that grow in the field. They are soft and pretty. Lily and Ben pick some poppies and make a crown for Lily. Lily feels like a queen.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. The dog is black and loud. He runs to Lily and Ben and barks. He wants to play, but he is too rough. He jumps on Lily and knocks her down. He bites her crown and tears it apart. The poppies fall on the ground. Lily is sad and scared.
+
+Ben is angry. He loves his sister and he wants to protect her. He stands up and kicks the dog. He kicks him hard and says, "Go away, bad dog! Leave us alone!" The dog is surprised and hurt. He yelps and runs away. He does not want to play anymore.
+
+Lily and Ben hug each other. They are safe and happy. They look at the poppies on the ground. They are broken and dirty. They cannot make another crown. It is too difficult. But they do not mind. They have each other. They are the best friends. They smile and walk home. They hold hands and sing. They love poppies, but they love each other more.
+Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. But one day, the sky was gray and the wind was cold. It was an icy day.
+
+"Let's go to the park anyway," said Tom. "We can wear our hats and coats and gloves."
+
+"OK," said Lila. "But we have to be careful. The ground might be slippery."
+
+They put on their warm clothes and walked to the park. But when they got there, they saw that the park was closed. There was a big sign that said "No playing today. Too icy and dangerous."
+
+Lila and Tom felt very sad. They wanted to play in the park. They looked at the empty swings and slides and felt like crying.
+
+"What can we do now?" asked Lila.
+
+"I don't know," said Tom. "Maybe we can go to the library and read some books. Or we can go to the bakery and get some cookies. Or we can go back home and play with our toys."
+
+But none of those things sounded fun to Lila and Tom. They missed the park. They missed the sun. They missed the fun.
+
+They sat on a bench and wept. They wept for the park. They wept for the day. They wept for their friendship.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big box of blocks. They can build houses, towers, cars, and animals with the blocks.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben are playing with the blocks in their room. They hear their mom call them for lunch. They are hungry, so they run to the kitchen. They do not clean up their blocks. They leave them on the floor. They scatter them everywhere.
+
+After lunch, their dad comes home from work. He is tired, but he wants to see his kids. He goes to their room to say hello. He does not see the blocks on the floor. He steps on them. He slips and falls. He hits his head on the wall. He bleeds a lot. He does not move.
+
+Sara and Ben hear a loud noise. They run to their room. They see their dad on the floor. They are scared. They scream for their mom. Their mom comes and sees what happened. She is sad and angry. She calls 911. She tells Sara and Ben to stay with their dad.
+
+Soon, an ambulance comes. The paramedics take their dad to the hospital. They put him on a stretcher. They put a mask on his face. They tell Sara and Ben that their dad is very sick. They need to help him. They need to take him away.
+
+Sara and Ben cry. They do not want their dad to go. They want to go with him. They hug their dad. They say they are sorry. They say they love him. Their mom cries too. She tells them to be brave. She tells them to wait for her. She goes with their dad.
+
+Sara and Ben are alone. They do not know what to do. They are sad and scared. They look at their room. They see their blocks. They wish they had cleaned them up. They wish they had not scattered them. They wish they had not hurt their dad. They feel very poor. They feel very bad. They hope their dad will be okay. They hope their mom will come back. They hope they can be a family again.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bull in the park. The bull is angry. It runs at them.
+
+Tom and Sam are nervous. They run away from the bull. They look for a place to hide. They see a fence. The fence has a part that is broken. They go through the part.
+
+The bull follows them. It tries to go through the part too. But the part is too small for the bull. The bull gets stuck. It moos loudly.
+
+Tom and Sam are safe. They laugh at the bull. They go to find their mom and dad. They tell them about the bull. Mom and dad are glad. They hug Tom and Sam. They say they are brave. They go home. They have cookies and milk. They are happy.
+Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They see many animals there, like birds, squirrels and rabbits. One day, they see a new animal. It is red and furry, with a long tail and sharp teeth. It is a fox.
+
+"Look, a fox!" Ben says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+Mia nods. She wants to touch the fox. She walks slowly to the fox. The fox is scared. It tries to run away, but it cannot. It has a trap on its leg. The trap hurts the fox.
+
+"Help, help!" the fox cries. "Please, release me!"
+
+Ben and Mia hear the fox. They feel sorry for the fox. They want to help the fox. They look for a way to open the trap. They find a stick. Ben uses the stick to push the trap. The trap opens. The fox is free.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" the fox says. "You are very kind!"
+
+The fox licks Ben and Mia. They giggle. The fox is soft and warm. The fox is also dirty. It has mud and blood on its fur.
+
+"Let's clean the fox!" Mia says. "We have water and soap in our backpacks!"
+
+Ben and Mia take out their water bottles and soap bars. They pour water on the fox. They rub soap on the fox. They make bubbles on the fox. The fox likes the bubbles. It shakes its tail and head. The water and soap wash away the dirt and blood. The fox is clean.
+
+"Wow, you are so shiny!" Ben says. "You are the most beautiful fox ever!"
+
+The fox smiles. It is happy. It is clean. It is free. It thanks Ben and Mia again. It says goodbye to them. It runs to the woods. It is safe.
+
+Ben and Mia wave to the fox. They are happy too. They are proud. They are friends. They are heroes.
+Lily and Tom were very happy. Today was Lily's birthday and they were going to the park. Tom had a present for Lily. He hid it in his backpack.
+
+They walked to the park with their mom. They saw swings, slides, and a big sandbox. Lily and Tom ran to the swings. They pushed each other and laughed.
+
+"Can I give you your present now?" Tom asked Lily.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily said. She was curious.
+
+Tom opened his backpack and took out a small box. He handed it to Lily.
+
+"Happy birthday, Lily!" he said.
+
+Lily opened the box. Inside was a necklace with a shiny star. Lily gasped.
+
+"Wow, Tom, it's beautiful! Thank you so much!" she said. She hugged Tom.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. I saw it in the store and I thought you would like it. It's not ordinary. It's special, like you," Tom said.
+
+Lily smiled. She put on the necklace and showed it to their mom.
+
+"Look, mom, Tom gave me a star!" she said.
+
+Mom smiled too. She was proud of Tom and Lily.
+
+"That's a lovely present, Tom. And Lily, you look very pretty with your star. You are both very sweet and kind," she said.
+
+Lily and Tom felt happy. They had a great day at the park. They played, ate cake, and sang songs. They loved each other very much.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with trains. They had many toy trains at home, but they wanted to see real trains at the station. One day, their mom took them to the station and bought them tickets. She told them to stay close to her and not to run away.
+
+Ben and Sam were very excited. They saw big trains and small trains, fast trains and slow trains, loud trains and quiet trains. They stared at the trains with wide eyes and pointed at the ones they liked. They wanted to touch the trains, but their mom said no. She said the trains were hot and dirty and dangerous.
+
+Ben listened to his mom, but Sam did not. He saw a shiny red train that looked like his favorite toy. He wanted to touch it and play with it. He ran away from his mom and went to the train. He did not see the sign that said "Do not enter". He did not hear the whistle that said "Train is leaving". He climbed on the train and sat on a seat. He smiled and pretended to drive the train.
+
+But then the train started to move. Sam was scared. He wanted to get off the train, but he did not know how. He cried and called for his mom, but she did not hear him. The train went faster and faster, and Sam saw the station get smaller and smaller. He was alone on the train, and he did not know where it was going.
+
+The train went through a tunnel and came out in a rainy place. The rain was heavy and cold. It made the train wet and slippery. Sam felt wet and cold too. He wished he had his coat and his hat. He wished he had stayed with his mom and his brother. He wished he had listened to his mom and not touched the train.
+
+The train stopped at another station. Sam saw a man in a uniform get on the train. He looked angry and stern. He saw Sam and asked him who he was and what he was doing. Sam was too afraid to answer. He thought the man would be mad at him and punish him. He wished he could go back to his mom and say sorry.
+
+But then he saw his mom. She had followed the train and found him. She was wet and worried, but she was also happy and relieved. She hugged Sam and kissed him. She told him she was glad he was safe and she loved him. She also told him he was very naughty and he should never run away from her again. Sam said sorry and hugged her back. He said he loved her too and he would never touch the train again.
+
+The man in the uniform was not angry anymore. He was kind and understanding. He helped Sam and his mom get off the train and find their way back to their station. He told Sam he was lucky he was not hurt or lost. He told him he should always listen to his mom and follow the rules. Sam nodded and thanked him.
+
+Ben was waiting for them at the station. He was wet and worried too, but he was also happy and relieved. He hugged Sam and his mom and said he was glad they were back. He said he missed them and he was sorry for Sam. He said he would share his toy trains with him and they could play together at home.
+
+Sam and Ben learned a lesson that day. They learned that trains are fun to watch, but not to touch. They learned that mom knows best and they should stay close to her. They learned that running away is not a good idea and it can lead to trouble. They learned that they love each other and they should stick together. They learned that the station is a wet and scary place, and home is a warm and cozy place. They learned that they are happy with what they have, and they do not need to look for more.
+Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll with a dress that has a zip on the back. Tom has a car with a string that makes it go.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make my car zoom!" Tom says, pulling the string and letting go. The car races across the floor and bumps into the couch.
+
+"Wow, that's fun, Tom!" Lily says, watching the car. "Can I try?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, here you go." Tom hands her the car and the string. "You have to pull the string hard and then let go."
+
+Lily pulls the string and lets go, but the car does not move. She tries again, but nothing happens.
+
+"Tom, why is your car not working?" Lily asks, frowning.
+
+Tom looks at the car and sees that the string is tangled and dirty. He thinks it is stuck in the wheels.
+
+"Oh, no, Lily, the string is bad. It needs to be clean and straight." Tom says, taking the car and trying to fix the string.
+
+"Can I help you, Tom?" Lily asks, feeling sorry.
+
+"Maybe you can, Lily. Do you have something to clean the string with?" Tom asks, looking around.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. Then she remembers her doll's dress. She takes off the dress and unzips it. She sees that the zip has a clean and shiny metal part.
+
+"I have this, Tom. It is a zip. It is clean and shiny. Maybe it can clean the string." Lily says, holding the zip.
+
+"Good idea, Lily. Let's try it." Tom says, smiling. He takes the zip and rubs it on the string. The dirt comes off and the string becomes clean and smooth.
+
+"Wow, Lily, it works! The zip is magic!" Tom says, pulling the string and letting go. The car zooms again and makes them both laugh.
+
+"Yay, Tom, we did it! The car is working again!" Lily says, clapping her hands.
+
+They hug each other and play with the car and the doll. They are happy and proud. They have used a zip, a string and a clean thing to solve a problem. They are good friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the hall. The hall is long and has many doors. Sometimes they open the doors and see what is inside. But they are not allowed to go into Mom and Dad's room.
+
+One day, they hear a noise from Mom and Dad's room. They are curious. They sneak to the door and peek inside. They see a big box on the bed. It has a bow and a tag. The tag says "For Anna and Ben".
+
+"Wow!" Anna says. "A present for us!"
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the bed and grab the box. They try to pull the bow, but it is too tight. They try to rip the paper, but it is too strong. They get frustrated.
+
+"Maybe we can squeeze it," Anna says. "Maybe we can hear what is inside."
+
+"Good idea," Ben says. They hold the box and squeeze it hard. They hear a squeak.
+
+"Squeak!" Anna says. "What is that?"
+
+"Squeak!" Ben says. "It sounds like a toy!"
+
+They squeeze the box harder. They hear another squeak. And another. And another.
+
+"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!" The box says.
+
+Suddenly, the box moves. It shakes and jumps. It falls off the bed. It breaks open. Out come four puppies. They are fluffy and cute. They lick Anna and Ben's faces.
+
+"Wow!" Anna says. "Puppies for us!"
+
+"Wow!" Ben says. "They are so fine!"
+
+They hug the puppies and laugh. They are happy.
+
+But then they hear another noise. It is Mom and Dad. They are coming to the hall. They are angry.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What have you done?" Mom says.
+
+"Uh-oh," Anna says.
+
+"Uh-oh," Ben says.
+
+They look at the mess. They look at the puppies. They look at Mom and Dad. They are scared.
+
+"Sorry," Anna says.
+
+"Sorry," Ben says.
+
+They squeeze the puppies and hope for the best.
+Ben and Lily are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green, and more.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Ben says. He shows Lily his tower. It is very tall and has many blocks.
+
+"Wow, Ben, your tower is great!" Lily says. She claps her hands. "Can I help you?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, you can help me. Here, take this block. It is blue. Attach it to the top of the tower." Ben says. He gives Lily a blue block.
+
+Lily takes the block and tries to attach it to the tower. But the tower is too tall and wobbly. It falls down with a loud crash. The blocks scatter everywhere.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, I'm sorry! I broke your tower!" Lily says. She feels sad and scared.
+
+"It's okay, Lily, don't be sorry. It was an accident. We can build another tower." Ben says. He hugs Lily and smiles. "Or we can build something else. Do you have an idea?"
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. Then she sees something under the table. It is a cute stuffed animal. It is a brown bear with a red bow.
+
+"I have an idea, Ben. Let's build a house for the bear. He needs a place to sleep." Lily says. She picks up the bear and shows it to Ben.
+
+"That's a good idea, Lily. Let's build a house for the bear. He is very cute. What color do you want the house to be?" Ben says. He likes the bear too.
+
+Lily and Ben start to build a house for the bear. They use the blocks to make walls and a roof and a door. They have fun and forget about the tower. They are happy and proud of their house. They put the bear inside and say good night.
+
+"Good night, bear. We hope you like your house. We made it for you." Lily and Ben say. They kiss the bear and smile. They are good friends.
+Sam liked to polish his red bike. He used a soft cloth and some water to make it shine. He was proud of his bike and took good care of it. He liked to ride it around the farm and visit the animals.
+
+One day, he saw a goat near the barn. The goat was white and had horns and a beard. Sam thought the goat looked funny and wanted to pet it. He parked his bike next to the fence and climbed over. He reached out his hand to touch the goat's fur.
+
+But the goat was not friendly. It saw Sam's bike and thought it was a snack. It ran to the bike and started to nibble on the seat and the tires. Sam heard a loud noise and turned around. He saw the goat eating his bike and felt very sad and angry.
+
+He shouted at the goat and tried to chase it away. But the goat was faster and stronger. It pushed Sam to the ground and ran away with the bike. Sam cried and called for help.
+
+Soon, his dad came and saw what happened. He hugged Sam and comforted him. He told him that the goat was naughty and that he would get his bike back. He also told him that he had a surprise for him. He took him to the other side of the barn and showed him a new friend.
+
+It was a dog. The dog was black and had floppy ears and a wagging tail. Sam smiled and petted the dog. The dog licked his face and barked happily. Sam's dad said that the dog was a gift for him and that he was very dependable. He said that the dog would protect Sam and his bike from the goat and other dangers. He said that Sam could name the dog whatever he wanted.
+
+Sam thought for a moment and then said, "I will name him Polish. Because he will make me happy like my bike." Sam's dad laughed and agreed. He said that Polish was a good name for a good dog. Sam hugged Polish and thanked his dad. He felt better and looked forward to riding his bike again with his new friend. He decided that he liked dogs more than goats.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to play in the attic. She had many toys and books there, and she made up stories with them. Sometimes, she pretended to be a princess, a pirate, or a detective.
+
+One day, she found a big box in the corner of the attic. She was curious and opened it. Inside, she saw a lot of old clothes and hats and shoes. She decided to try them on and see how they looked.
+
+She put on a long dress and a hat with feathers. She looked in the mirror and said, "Hello, I am a lady from a long time ago. I have a tea party with my friends." She smiled and pretended to sip from a cup.
+
+She changed into a coat and a scarf and a cap. She looked in the mirror and said, "Hello, I am a traveler from a far away place. I have a map and a compass and a bag. I explore the world and see new things." She nodded and pretended to walk around.
+
+She changed into a shirt and a skirt and a vest. She looked in the mirror and said, "Hello, I am a teacher from a big school. I have a book and a pen and a ruler. I teach the children and help them learn." She winked and pretended to write on a board.
+
+She had fun with the clothes and the stories. She felt happy and proud. She thought, "I can be anything I want to be. I can succeed in anything I do." She hugged the box and said, "Thank you, attic, for giving me these treasures."
+Anna and Ben were playing with shapes. They had a box with many shapes and holes. They had to put the shapes in the right holes. Anna liked the game. She was good at it. She knew where each shape went.
+
+Ben did not like the game. He was stubborn. He wanted to put the shapes in the wrong holes. He tried to put a star in a circle hole. He tried to put a square in a triangle hole. He pushed and pushed, but the shapes did not fit.
+
+"Ben, stop!" Anna said. "You are doing it wrong. You have to match the shapes and the holes. Look, this is how you do it." She showed him how to put a circle in a circle hole and a triangle in a triangle hole.
+
+"I don't care!" Ben said. "I want to do it my way. It is more fun. You are boring." He kept pushing the shapes in the wrong holes.
+
+Anna was angry. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. She grabbed the box and tried to take it away from him. But Ben did not let go. He pulled the box back. They both pulled and pulled, until the box broke. The shapes and the holes fell on the floor. They made a big mess.
+
+Anna and Ben started to cry. They had broken their game. They had no more shapes to play with. They had no more fun. They wished they had listened to each other. They wished they had not been stubborn.
+Tommy loved sausages. He liked to eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He liked them with ketchup, mustard and cheese. He liked them big, small and medium. He liked them hot, cold and warm.
+
+One day, Tommy had a great idea. He wanted to grow his own sausages. He asked his mom for some seeds. She gave him some sunflower seeds and told him to plant them in the garden. Tommy was very enthusiastic. He dug a hole, put the seeds in and covered them with dirt. He watered them every day and waited for them to grow.
+
+After a few weeks, Tommy saw some green shoots coming out of the ground. He was very excited. He thought they were sausages. He ran to his mom and said, "Mom, mom, look! My sausages are growing!"
+
+His mom smiled and followed him to the garden. She saw the sunflower plants and explained to Tommy that they were not sausages, but flowers. She told him that sausages were made from meat, not seeds. She said that he could still enjoy the sunflowers and eat their seeds as a snack.
+
+Tommy was a little disappointed, but he understood. He decided to try the sunflower seeds and see if he liked them. He picked one of the flowers and opened it. He found some small, black seeds inside. He tasted one and liked it. It was crunchy and salty. He gave one to his mom and she liked it too. They shared the sunflower seeds and smiled.
+
+Tommy learned that he could not grow sausages, but he could grow sunflowers. He was happy with his garden and his new snack. He still loved sausages, but he also liked sunflower seeds. He thought they were both delicious.
+Sara is a doctor. She likes to test her toys. She has a stethoscope, a thermometer, and a bandage. She puts them in her bag and goes to the living room.
+
+She sees her brother Tom playing with his cars. She says, "Tom, you are my patient. I need to test you. Come here."
+
+Tom does not want to play with Sara. He says, "No, Sara. I am busy. Go away."
+
+Sara is bossy. She says, "Tom, you have to listen to me. I am the doctor. You might be sick. Let me test you."
+
+She grabs Tom's arm and tries to put the thermometer in his mouth. Tom pushes her away and says, "Sara, stop it. You are not a real doctor. You are just a silly girl. Leave me alone."
+
+Sara is angry. She says, "Tom, you are rude. You are a bad patient. I will tell Mom."
+
+She runs to the kitchen and tells Mom what happened. Mom says, "Sara, I know you like to play doctor, but you can't force Tom to play with you. You have to ask him nicely. And Tom, you have to be polite to Sara. She is your sister. You can play together or play separately, but you have to respect each other."
+
+Sara and Tom say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They decide to play something else. Sara puts her bag away and Tom shares his cars. They are happy.
+One day, a fisherman went to the lake with his little son. He wanted to teach him how to catch fish. He gave him a rod and a hook and some worms.
+
+"Look, son, this is how you do it. You put a worm on the hook, like this. Then you throw the rod into the water, like this. And then you wait for a fish to bite, like this." The fisherman showed his son the steps.
+
+The son watched and nodded. He tried to do the same. He put a worm on the hook, but it was slimy and wiggly. He pinched it hard, but it still moved. He threw the rod into the water, but it did not go far. He waited for a fish to bite, but nothing happened.
+
+"Dad, why are there no fish?" he asked.
+
+"Shh, son, you have to be quiet and patient. The fish are hidden under the water. They are shy and smart. They will not come if they hear us or see us. We have to be still and silent." The fisherman whispered.
+
+The son tried to be quiet and patient. He looked at the water and the sky and the trees. He saw a bird fly by and a frog jump on a lily pad. He heard a splash and a tug on his rod.
+
+"Dad, dad, I think I have a fish!" he shouted.
+
+"Good, son, good! Now pull the rod up, slowly and gently. Don't let the fish go. You did it!" The fisherman cheered.
+
+The son pulled the rod up and saw a shiny, scaly fish on his hook. He was so happy and proud. He showed his dad his catch.
+
+"Wow, son, that's a big and beautiful fish. You are a great fisherman. I'm so proud of you." The fisherman hugged his son.
+
+They took the fish off the hook and put it in a bucket. They decided to keep it for dinner. They packed their things and went home, smiling and talking about their adventure. They had a fun and special day at the lake.
+Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. They looked in the kitchen, but they could not find anything they liked.
+
+"Mom, can we have a snack?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, sweetie. What do you want?" Mom said.
+
+Lily looked at Tom. Tom looked at Lily. They did not know what to say.
+
+"How about a banana?" Mom suggested. "Bananas are good for you. They are sweet and soft and yellow."
+
+Lily and Tom made a face. They did not like bananas. They thought bananas were boring and mushy and brown.
+
+"Can we have something else?" Tom asked.
+
+"Like what?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom thought hard. They wanted something crunchy and salty and fun.
+
+"Can we have chips?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom shook her head. She looked worried. She said chips were not good for them. They had too much salt and fat and oil.
+
+"Chips are not a snack. They are a treat. You can have them sometimes, but not all the time," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom felt sad. They really wanted chips. They did not want bananas.
+
+"Please, Mom. Just a little bit?" Tom begged.
+
+Mom sighed. She loved her children. She wanted them to be happy and healthy.
+
+"Okay, how about this?" Mom said. "You can have a few chips, but you have to eat a banana first. Deal?"
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They did not like the deal, but they liked chips more than bananas. They nodded.
+
+"Deal," they said.
+
+Mom smiled. She gave them each a banana and a small bowl of chips. She said they had to finish the banana before they could eat the chips.
+
+Lily and Tom peeled their bananas. They took small bites. They made funny faces. They did not enjoy the bananas, but they ate them anyway. They wanted to get to the chips.
+
+When they were done, they put the banana peels in the trash. They grabbed their bowls of chips. They ate them happily. They crunched and munched and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," they said.
+
+"You're welcome, my loves," Mom said. "But remember, bananas are good for you too. Maybe next time, you can try them with some peanut butter or honey. They are yummy that way."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They did not believe Mom, but they did not want to argue. They hugged Mom and said they loved her.
+
+Mom hugged them back and said she loved them too. She was glad they ate their snack. She hoped they would learn to like bananas someday.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big radish in the ground. It is red and round.
+
+"Wow, look at that radish!" Anna says. "It is so big and pretty. I want to pick it and eat it."
+
+"No, you can't do that," Ben says. "That radish belongs to Mr. Fox. He is rich and mean. He will be angry if you take his radish."
+
+Anna does not listen to Ben. She wants the radish very much. She pulls and pulls, but the radish does not come out. She pulls harder and harder, but the radish does not move.
+
+"Help me, Ben!" Anna says. "Help me pull this radish out!"
+
+Ben is scared of Mr. Fox, but he is also a good friend. He goes to help Anna. He stands behind her and pulls with her. They pull and pull, but the radish is still stuck.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" a voice says. It is Mr. Fox. He comes out of his house and sees Anna and Ben. He is very angry. He has a big stick in his hand.
+
+"What are you doing with my radish?" Mr. Fox says. "That is my radish. I planted it and watered it and waited for it to grow. You are bad children. You are trying to steal my radish. Go away, or I will hit you with my stick!"
+
+Anna and Ben are very sorry. They let go of the radish and run away. They are afraid of Mr. Fox and his stick. They say sorry to Mr. Fox, but he does not hear them. He is too busy with his radish.
+
+Anna and Ben learn a lesson. They learn not to take things that are not theirs. They learn to respect other people's things. They learn to listen to each other. They are still friends, but they do not play in the garden anymore. They play in the park, where there are no radishes.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to build things. They had many blocks and sticks and stones to make houses and cars and castles. One day, they saw a chicken in their yard. The chicken was brown and fluffy and had a red thing on its head.
+
+"Look, a chicken!" Tim said. "Let's build a cage for it and keep it as a pet."
+
+Sam nodded. He liked animals. He wanted to feed the chicken and play with it. They ran to get some blocks and sticks and made a small cage. They put the chicken inside and closed the door.
+
+The chicken was scared. It did not like the cage. It wanted to go back to its farm and see its friends. It tried to peck the door and flap its wings, but it could not get out. It made loud noises to call for help.
+
+"Shh, chicken, be quiet!" Tim said. "We are your friends. We will give you food and water and a name. You will be happy here."
+
+But the chicken was not happy. It was sad and angry. It did not want to be their pet. It wanted to be free.
+
+The next day, Tim and Sam went to school. They left the chicken in the cage in the yard. They did not give it any food or water. They forgot about it.
+
+The chicken was hungry and thirsty. It was still scared. It saw a big dog coming to the yard. The dog smelled the chicken and barked. It ran to the cage and tried to bite it. The cage was not strong. It broke easily. The dog grabbed the chicken and ran away.
+
+Tim and Sam came back from school. They saw the broken cage and the feathers in the yard. They realized what happened. They felt sorry and guilty. They cried.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned that they should not take animals that do not belong to them. They learned that they should not keep animals in cages. They learned that they should be kind and respectful to all living things.
+Tom and Sue were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big cake on the table. It looked yummy. They wanted to taste it.
+
+"Let's remove some cake and eat it," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be quiet. Mom will be angry if she sees us," Sue said.
+
+They removed some cake with their hands and put it in their mouths. But the cake was not yummy. It was bitter and sour. They made faces and spat it out.
+
+"Yuck! This cake is bad!" Tom said.
+
+"It's not cake. It's soap!" Sue said.
+
+They heard Mom coming. They were ashamed. They hid under the table.
+
+"What are you doing here?" Mom asked. She saw the soap on the table and on the floor. She was not happy.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We thought it was cake. We wanted to taste it," Tom and Sue said.
+
+Mom sighed. She was not angry, but she was sad.
+
+"You should not remove things from the table without asking. And you should not taste things that are not food. You could get sick. Come here and let me clean your mouths," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Sue came out from under the table. They hugged Mom and said sorry. They learned their lesson. They never removed or tasted soap again.
+Lily and Sam were in school. They did not like school. School was dull. They had to sit and listen to the teacher. They had to do a quiz. The quiz was hard. They did not know the answers.
+
+Lily had an idea. She whispered to Sam. "Let's play freeze. When the teacher is not looking, we stop and do not move. We pretend we are statues. It will be fun."
+
+Sam nodded. He liked to play freeze. It was a game. He waited for the teacher to turn around. Then he stopped and did not move. He made a funny face. Lily did the same. She stuck out her tongue.
+
+The teacher turned back. She saw Lily and Sam. They were not doing the quiz. They were frozen. She was angry. She said, "Lily and Sam, what are you doing? This is not a game. This is a quiz. You have to do the quiz. You have to learn. You have to be good."
+
+Lily and Sam did not move. They did not talk. They did not blink. They hoped the teacher would go away. They hoped the quiz would end. They hoped school would be over. They wanted to play. They did not want to be dull.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big mountain far away. It was white and shiny, like ice.
+
+"Let's go there!" Tom said. "Maybe we can slide on the ice and make snowmen."
+
+Lily nodded. She liked ice and snow. They put on their warm coats, hats and boots. They took their sled and started to walk.
+
+The mountain was very far. They walked and walked, but it did not seem to get closer. They got tired and hungry. They saw a house with smoke coming out of the chimney.
+
+"Maybe we can ask for some food and rest there," Lily said.
+
+They knocked on the door. A kind lady opened it. She smiled and invited them in.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Where are you going?" she asked.
+
+"We are going to the mountain," Tom said. "We want to play on the ice."
+
+The lady shook her head. "The mountain is too far and too icy for you. It is dangerous. You could get lost or hurt. You should go back home."
+
+Lily and Tom felt sad. They hoped to have fun on the mountain. But they also knew the lady was right. They thanked her for the food and the warm fire. They said goodbye and took their sled.
+
+They walked back home. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They hugged them and told them about their adventure.
+
+"We are sorry we went so far," Lily said.
+
+"We hoped to see the mountain," Tom said.
+
+Mom and dad smiled. They were not angry. They were happy they were safe.
+
+"Maybe one day, when you are older, we can go to the mountain together," mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They still hoped to play on the ice. But they also liked to play at home. They had each other and their parents. They were happy.
+Lily liked to play dress-up with her clothes. She had a big wardrobe in her room with many dresses, hats, shoes and jewels. She liked to pretend she was a princess, a fairy, a doctor or a teacher.
+
+One day, it was very cold outside. The wind was blowing and the snow was falling. Lily wanted to stay warm and cozy in her room. She opened her wardrobe and looked for a dress. She saw a blue dress with white flowers. She liked that dress, but it was too thin for winter. She felt the fabric and it was icy. She shivered and put it back.
+
+She looked for another dress. She saw a red dress with black dots. She liked that dress, but it was too big for her. She tried it on and it dragged on the floor. She tripped and fell. She got up and took it off.
+
+She looked for another dress. She saw a yellow dress with green stripes. She liked that dress, but it was too old for her. It had holes and stains. She smelled it and it was stinky. She wrinkled her nose and threw it away.
+
+She looked for another dress. She saw a pink dress with purple stars. She liked that dress, but it was not hers. It was her sister's dress. She knew her sister would be mad if she wore it. She sighed and hung it up.
+
+She looked for another dress. She saw a brown dress with orange buttons. She did not like that dress, but it was the only one left. She put it on and looked in the mirror. She felt sad and ugly. She wished she had a new dress.
+
+She heard a knock on the door. It was her mom. She had a big smile and a big bag. She said, "Lily, I have a surprise for you. I went to the store and I bought you some new clothes. You can replace your old ones with these. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lily nodded and ran to her mom. She opened the bag and saw many new dresses, hats, shoes and jewels. They were all beautiful and colorful and warm and soft. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the best mom ever!"
+
+She took out a rainbow dress with silver glitter. She put it on and looked in the mirror. She felt happy and pretty. She said, "I love this dress! Can I wear it today?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course you can, my sweet girl. You look wonderful. Now, let's go and have some hot chocolate and cookies. It's a perfect day to stay inside and play dress-up."
+
+Lily smiled and followed her mom. She closed her wardrobe and forgot about the icy, big, old and not hers dresses. She only thought about the rainbow dress and the hot chocolate and the cookies and her mom. She was very happy. The end.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw a big hill with many trees. They wanted to see what was on the top.
+
+"Let's go up the hill!" Anna said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It might be steep." Ben said.
+
+They climbed the hill, holding hands. They saw many flowers, bugs and birds. They were happy and curious. They reached the top and looked around.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Anna said, pointing at something weird.
+
+"What is it?" Ben asked.
+
+They saw a big metal thing with a round window and a long tail. It looked like a rocket, but it was old and rusty. It had some letters on it, but they could not read them.
+
+"Maybe it is a toy from a long time ago." Anna said.
+
+"Maybe it is a spaceship from another place." Ben said.
+
+They wanted to discover more. They went closer to the metal thing. They saw a door with a handle. They pulled the handle and opened the door. They saw a dark and dusty inside. They saw some buttons, wires and screens.
+
+"Wow, this is cool!" Anna said.
+
+"Let's go in and explore!" Ben said.
+
+They went in and closed the door behind them. They did not know that the metal thing was not a toy or a spaceship. It was a bomb from a war that never happened. They did not know that they had just activated it. They did not know that they had only ten seconds left.
+Anna was a big girl who went to school. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. But today she was not happy. She had to take an exam. An exam was a hard paper with many questions. She had to write the right answers or the teacher would be angry.
+
+She did not want to take the exam. She wanted to skip. Skip was a fun thing to do. She could hop and jump and sing. She could skip to the park and see the birds and the flowers. She could skip to the shop and buy a candy. She could skip to her home and hug her mom.
+
+She had an idea. She saw a fancy dress in her closet. A fancy dress was a pretty dress with many colors and sparkles. She put on the fancy dress and a hat and a scarf. She looked like a princess. She took her bag and ran out of the door.
+
+She skipped all the way to the park. She saw a boy and a girl playing with a ball. She said hello and asked if she could play too. They said yes and they had fun. They threw the ball and caught it and laughed. They did not know she was skipping the exam.
+
+But then she heard a voice. It was her teacher. He was looking for her. He saw her in the fancy dress and the hat and the scarf. He was not happy. He said, "Anna, what are you doing here? You are supposed to be in school. You are missing the exam. Come with me right now."
+
+Anna was scared. She did not want to go with the teacher. She did not want to take the exam. She wanted to stay and play. She said, "Please, teacher, I don't like the exam. It is hard and boring. I like to skip. It is fun and easy. Can I skip the exam?"
+
+The teacher shook his head. He said, "No, Anna, you cannot skip the exam. The exam is important. It shows what you have learned and what you need to learn more. You have to take the exam. It is not hard and boring if you study and try your best. You can skip later, after the exam. Now come with me."
+
+Anna was sad. She said goodbye to the boy and the girl. She took off her fancy dress and her hat and her scarf. She put on her school clothes and her bag. She followed the teacher to the school. She took the exam. She did not like it. She wished she could skip.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their bikes. They liked to ride fast and do tricks on the ramps. But their mom told them to be careful and wear their helmets.
+
+"Mom, we know how to ride. We are not babies," Tom said.
+
+"Still, you have to listen to me and buckle your helmets. It is for your safety. I don't want you to get hurt," mom said.
+
+She warned them not to go too fast or too high. She said they could have fun, but they also had to be smart.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and buckled their helmets. They rode their bikes to the ramps and waited for their turn. They saw some older kids doing cool tricks and wanted to try them too.
+
+"Look, Lily, that kid did a flip. I can do that too," Tom said.
+
+He pedaled hard and went up the ramp. He tried to flip his bike in the air, but he lost his balance and fell down. He landed on his back and his bike landed on his leg. He cried out in pain.
+
+Lily saw what happened and rushed to help him. She called for mom and the older kids. They lifted the bike off Tom and checked his leg. It was bleeding and bruised.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asked.
+
+"It hurts, Lily. It hurts a lot," Tom said.
+
+Mom came and hugged him. She said they had to go to the doctor and see if his leg was broken. She said he was lucky he wore his helmet, or he could have hurt his head too.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I was stupid. I didn't listen to you," Tom said.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. I'm glad you are alive. But you have to learn from your mistake. Riding a bike is fun, but it can also be dangerous. You have to be careful and respect the rules," mom said.
+
+She took him to the car and put him in the seat. She buckled his seat belt and drove to the hospital. Lily sat next to him and held his hand. She felt sad for him and hoped he would be okay.
+
+She looked out the window and saw the park. She saw the ramps and the bikes. They looked dull and boring now. She didn't want to play with them anymore. She just wanted her brother to be happy and healthy again.
+Lily and Ben are playing with clay. They like to make different shapes and animals. Lily is very creative. She rolls the clay into a long snake and then cuts it into small pieces. She puts the pieces together to make a caterpillar.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a caterpillar!" Lily says, showing her clay friend.
+
+"Wow, Lily, that is very good!" Ben says. He likes Lily's caterpillar. He wants to make one too. He rolls the clay into a ball and then cuts it into four pieces. He puts the pieces together to make a snowman.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a snowman!" Ben says, showing his clay friend.
+
+"Ben, that is not a caterpillar, that is a snowman!" Lily says. She laughs. She thinks Ben is funny. She likes his snowman. She gives him a hug.
+
+"Can we play together?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, of course!" Lily says. They put their clay friends next to each other. They pretend the caterpillar and the snowman are having a tea party. They have fun. They are happy.
+Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play and share. But sometimes they want different things. Today, they want to eat pizza for lunch. But there is only one pizza left.
+
+Tim says, "I want the pizza. I saw it first." Mia says, "No, I want the pizza. I am more hungry." They start to fight. They pull and tug at the pizza. The pizza breaks into two pieces. One piece is big and one piece is small.
+
+Tim grabs the big piece. He says, "Ha ha, I win. I get the big piece." Mia is sad. She says, "That is not fair. You are mean." She starts to cry.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the pizza and the twins. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over the pizza?"
+
+Tim says, "I got the big piece because I saw it first." Mia says, "He took the big piece and left me the small piece. That is not fair."
+
+Mom says, "That is not a good way to solve the problem. You should share and be kind. How about this? You can cut the big piece in half and give one half to Mia. Then you will both have the same amount of pizza. Is that fair?"
+
+Tim thinks for a moment. He says, "Okay, I guess that is fair. I am sorry, Mia. Here, you can have half of my piece." He cuts the big piece and gives one half to Mia.
+
+Mia smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tim. I am sorry, too. Here, you can have some of my juice." She gives him her cup of juice.
+
+Mom says, "That is very nice of you. I am proud of you. You solved the problem by sharing and being fair. Now you can enjoy your pizza and juice together."
+
+Tim and Mia hug. They say, "We love you, Mom. And we love pizza." They eat their pizza and drink their juice. They are happy.
+Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play and talk. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big truck. The truck had a sign that said "Popcorn".
+
+"Look, popcorn!" Lily said. "I love popcorn. Can we have some, mom?"
+
+"Me too, me too!" Sam said. "Please, mom, can we?"
+
+Their moms smiled and nodded. They gave them some money and walked to the truck. The man in the truck gave them each a bag of popcorn. It was hot and smelled good.
+
+"Thank you, mister!" Lily and Sam said. They ran to a bench and sat down. They opened their bags and started to eat.
+
+"Mmm, this is yummy!" Lily said. She took a big handful and put it in her mouth.
+
+"Careful, Lily, don't eat too fast. You might choke," Sam said. He ate his popcorn slowly and carefully.
+
+Lily did not mind Sam. She liked to eat fast. She wanted to finish her popcorn before Sam. She ate and ate and ate. But then, she felt something in her throat. It was dry and hard. It hurt. She coughed and coughed. She could not breathe.
+
+"Lily, Lily, are you okay?" Sam asked. He was scared. He dropped his popcorn and ran to her. He tried to help her. He patted her back and said, "Spit it out, Lily, spit it out!"
+
+Their moms heard them and came running. They saw Lily coughing and choking. They were worried. They called for help. A lady came. She was a nurse. She knew what to do. She put her arms around Lily and squeezed her tummy. She did it again and again. Then, a piece of popcorn flew out of Lily's mouth. It landed on the ground.
+
+Lily gasped and breathed. She felt better. She stopped coughing. She looked at the nurse and said, "Thank you, lady. You saved me."
+
+The nurse smiled and hugged her. She said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're brave. But next time, don't eat so fast. Chew your popcorn well. And listen to your friend. He was right."
+
+Lily nodded. She felt sorry. She looked at Sam and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. You were right. I ate too fast. I did not mind you. I was silly. Will you forgive me?"
+
+Sam smiled and hugged her. He said, "Of course, Lily. I forgive you. You're my friend. I'm glad you're okay. But next time, mind me, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, Sam. I will mind you. And I will share my popcorn with you."
+
+They smiled and hugged. They picked up their popcorn and ate it together. They ate it slowly and carefully. They enjoyed it. They were happy. They were friends.
+Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many flowers. They run to the tree and smell the flowers. They like the sweet smell.
+
+"Look, Lily, a bee!" Ben says. He points to a yellow and black bee on a flower. The bee is busy. It takes some sweet stuff from the flower.
+
+"Can we touch the bee?" Lily asks. She wants to see the bee closer.
+
+"No, Lily, no!" Ben says. He shakes his head. "The bee can hurt you. It has a sharp thing on its back. If you touch it, it can sting you. That will make you cry."
+
+"Oh, I don't want that," Lily says. She steps back from the flower. "But the bee is pretty. And it makes honey. I like honey."
+
+"Me too," Ben says. "But we can't take the bee's honey. The bee needs it for its home. The bee has a home high in the tree. It lives with many other bees. They work together and make honey."
+
+"How do you know that, Ben?" Lily asks. She is curious.
+
+"I think I saw it on TV," Ben says. He tries to remember. "Or maybe in a book. Or maybe mom told me. I don't know. But I think it is true."
+
+Lily nods. She thinks Ben is smart. She likes to learn new things from him. She looks at the bee again. She smiles and says, "Hello, bee. Thank you for making honey. But please don't sting us. We are your friends."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have a big rug on the floor. The rug is soft and colorful.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben find a new toy in the closet. It is a big dinosaur. It can roar and move. They are very happy. They take the dinosaur to the living room and put it on the rug.
+
+The dinosaur is fun, but it is also naughty. It starts to bite the rug. It makes holes in the rug. It tears the rug with its teeth. Lily and Ben are scared. They try to stop the dinosaur, but it is too strong.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees the dinosaur and the rug. She is angry. She takes the dinosaur away and puts it back in the closet. She tells Lily and Ben that they are not good. They have to help her fix the rug.
+
+Lily and Ben are sorry. They love their mom and their rug. They say sorry to mom and hug her. They get some tape and glue and try to fix the rug. They promise to be good and not play with the dinosaur again. Mom smiles and kisses them. She says she loves them and they are good. They all sit on the rug and read a book.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and climb. But their favorite thing was to spin on the roundabout. They would spin faster and faster until they felt dizzy and happy.
+
+One day, they saw a big bus in the park. It had many colors and pictures on it. It said "Circus". Lily and Tom were curious. They wanted to see what was inside the bus. They ran to the bus and climbed in. They saw many things: costumes, hats, balls, hoops and ropes. They tried them on and played with them. They had fun.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was the bus driver. He was angry. He saw Lily and Tom in his bus. He shouted at them. "Hey, you! Get out of my bus! You are not circus people! You are naughty children!"
+
+Lily and Tom were fearful. They did not want to make the bus driver mad. They wanted to go back to the park. They ran to the door of the bus. But the door was closed. The bus driver had locked it. He started the bus. He was going to take them away.
+
+Lily and Tom cried. They did not want to go on a journey with the bus driver. They wanted to go home. They hugged each other and said "We are sorry. We just wanted to see the circus. Please let us go."
+
+But the bus driver did not hear them. He drove the bus out of the park. He drove it to the circus. He did not know that Lily and Tom were still in the bus. He did not know that they were scared and sad. He did not know that they missed their parents and their park. He did not know that they wanted to spin on the roundabout again.
+Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They liked to run, jump, swing, and slide in the park. They also liked to draw, read, and sing in the library. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But one day, Ben had some news for Mia. He said, "Mia, I have to tell you something. I am going to move away. My dad got a new job in another town. We will leave at the end of summer."
+
+Mia was very sad. She said, "Ben, I don't want you to go. You are my best friend. Who will I play with when you are gone?"
+
+Ben said, "I don't want to go either. You are my best friend too. But we can still talk on the phone and write letters. And maybe we can visit each other someday."
+
+Mia said, "But it won't be the same. I will miss you a lot. I have something for you. I made it for you. It is a surprise. I will reveal it to you tomorrow."
+
+Ben said, "What is it? Can you tell me now?"
+
+Mia said, "No, you have to wait. It is a secret. But I think you will like it. It is something special."
+
+The next day, Mia brought a big box to the park. She said, "Ben, this is for you. It is my gift. You can open it now."
+
+Ben opened the box and saw a big book. It was a scrapbook. It had many pictures of Ben and Mia. It had pictures of them playing, laughing, hugging, and smiling. It had pictures of their favorite places, toys, and books. It had words that said, "Ben and Mia, best friends forever."
+
+Ben was very happy. He said, "Mia, this is amazing. This is the best gift ever. Thank you so much. I love it. I will keep it with me always. It will remind me of you and our friendship."
+
+Mia said, "You're welcome, Ben. I love it too. I made a copy for myself. We can look at it whenever we miss each other. It will make us feel better."
+
+Ben and Mia hugged each other. They said, "We will always be best friends. No matter where we are. We will never forget each other."
+
+They smiled and wiped their tears. They decided to enjoy their last days of summer together. They knew it would be difficult to say goodbye. But they also knew they had a special bond that would last forever.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside at night. They look at the stars and the moon. The moon is big and bright. It makes the sky look pretty.
+
+One night, Lily has an idea. She says to Tom, "Let's collect the moon!"
+
+Tom is confused. He says, "How can we collect the moon? It is too far and too big."
+
+Lily says, "We can use a bucket and a rope. We can throw the bucket to the moon and pull it down. Then we can keep the moon in our room."
+
+Tom thinks this is a fun game. He says, "OK, let's try it!"
+
+They find a bucket and a rope in the shed. They go to the backyard. They tie the rope to the bucket. They swing the bucket and throw it to the moon. But the bucket does not reach the moon. It falls back to the ground.
+
+They try again and again. But they cannot collect the moon. They get tired and cold. They say, "Maybe the moon is too shy. Maybe it does not want to come with us."
+
+They decide to go back to the house. They say good night to the moon. They say, "We still like you, moon. You are our friend. Maybe we can collect you another night."
+
+They go inside and drink some hot cocoa. They feel warm and cozy. They dream of the moon and the stars. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their toy bow and arrow. They take turns to shoot the arrow at a big red target on the wall. Lily is very good at hitting the target. Ben is not so good. He often misses and hits the floor or the window.
+
+One day, Ben gets angry. He thinks Lily is laughing at him. He says, "Stop being silly, Lily! You are not better than me!" He grabs the arrow from Lily and tries to shoot it at the target. But he shoots too hard and the arrow flies past the target and out of the window.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily says. "You broke the window, Ben! And you lost the arrow! Mom will be mad!"
+
+Ben feels scared. He runs to the window and looks outside. He sees the arrow on the grass. He also sees a big dog running towards the arrow. The dog picks up the arrow in its mouth and runs away.
+
+"Come back, dog!" Ben shouts. "That is our arrow!"
+
+Lily runs to Ben and hugs him. She says, "Don't worry, Ben. It was an accident. Maybe we can find another arrow. Or we can play with something else. I'm sorry I was silly, too. I didn't mean to make you angry."
+
+Ben hugs Lily back. He says, "I'm sorry, too, Lily. I was jealous of you. You are a good friend. And a good shooter."
+
+They smile at each other and go to tell Mom what happened. They hope Mom will not be too mad. They hope the dog will have fun with the arrow. They hope they can play with their toy bow and arrow again.
+Lily and Sam liked to play on the beach. They made sand castles and looked for shells. They did not listen to their mom when she told them to stay close. They wanted to explore.
+
+One day, they saw a big rock in the water. It looked like a fun place to climb. They ran towards it, ignoring their mom's shouts. They did not see the tide coming in. The water got higher and higher.
+
+"Look, Sam, we are on an island!" Lily said. She thought it was a game.
+
+Sam did not think it was a game. He saw the waves getting bigger and stronger. He saw their mom waving and yelling. He was scared.
+
+"Lily, we have to go back. It is dangerous here. The water will take us away," he said.
+
+But Lily did not want to go back. She liked the rock. She ignored Sam. She said, "No, it is fun here. You are a baby."
+
+Sam did not like being called a baby. He was angry. He said, "Fine, stay here then. I am going back." He jumped into the water and swam to the shore.
+
+Lily was alone on the rock. She felt sorry. She wanted to go back too. But the water was too high and too fast. She cried for help. But no one heard her. She wished she had listened to her mom and Sam. She wished she had not ignored them.
+Lily and Sam liked to play with blocks. They made towers with the blocks. Lily made a big tower. Sam made a small tower. Lily was bossy. She said, "My tower is better than yours. You have to clap for my tower."
+
+Sam did not like that. He said, "No, I don't. Your tower is not better. It is just bigger. I like my tower. You have to clap for my tower too."
+
+Lily and Sam started to argue. They did not clap for each other's towers. They were not happy.
+
+Then, a big wind came. It blew the blocks away. Lily's tower and Sam's tower fell down. The blocks were everywhere. Lily and Sam were sad. They lost their towers.
+
+They looked at each other. They said, "I'm sorry. I was bossy. I was mean. Your tower was good. Can we be friends again?"
+
+They hugged each other. They picked up the blocks. They made a new tower together. It was bigger and better than before. They clapped for their tower. They were happy.
+Lila and Tom are going on a holiday with Mum and Dad. They are very happy. They pack their bags with toys and clothes. They hold their bags and go to the car.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Lila asks.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. We have to drive for a long time," Mum says.
+
+Lila and Tom look out the window. They see trees and houses and cows and sheep. They sing songs and play games. They are not bored.
+
+After a long time, they arrive at the holiday house. It is big and white and has a garden. Mum and Dad unpack the car. Lila and Tom run to the garden. They see a swing and a slide and a sandbox. They are very excited.
+
+"Look, Tom, a swing!" Lila says.
+
+"Can I go first?" Tom asks.
+
+"OK, but only for a little bit. Then it's my turn," Lila says.
+
+Tom climbs on the swing. He pushes with his legs. He goes high and low. He feels the wind in his hair. He laughs.
+
+Lila waits for her turn. She sees a thin cat in the garden. It is black and white and has green eyes. It looks hungry and scared. Lila feels sorry for the cat. She walks slowly to the cat. She holds out her hand.
+
+"Hello, kitty. Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you," Lila says.
+
+The cat looks at Lila. It sniffs her hand. It rubs its head against her fingers. It purrs.
+
+Lila smiles. She picks up the cat. She holds it gently. She strokes its fur. She says, "You are so soft and warm. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The cat meows. It licks Lila's cheek. It cuddles with her. It says, "Yes, I do."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They see a big oven. The oven is tall and black. It has a door and a window.
+
+"Can we look inside?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, it is hot. Mommy says we cannot touch the oven," Ben says.
+
+"But I want to see what is in there. Maybe there is a cake or a pie," Lily says. She pulls a chair and climbs on it. She reaches for the oven door.
+
+"Stop, Lily! You will get hurt!" Ben shouts. He tries to pull her down.
+
+Lily does not listen. She opens the oven door. A lot of steam comes out. It is very hot. Lily screams. She lets go of the door and falls off the chair.
+
+Ben runs to her. He hugs her. He is scared. He sees a red mark on her hand. It is a burn.
+
+"Mommy! Mommy! Lily is hurt!" Ben cries.
+
+Mommy hears them. She comes to the kitchen. She sees Lily and Ben. She sees the oven. She is angry and worried.
+
+"What happened? Why did you open the oven?" Mommy asks.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted to see what is in there. It was hot. It hurt me," Lily says. She is crying.
+
+Mommy takes Lily to the sink. She runs cold water on her hand. She puts a bandage on it. She kisses her.
+
+"You are very silly, Lily. You should never touch the oven. It is dangerous. You could have burned yourself badly. You have to listen to Ben. He is a good brother. He tried to stop you," Mommy says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy. I love you. I love Ben. I will not touch the oven again," Lily says.
+
+Mommy hugs Lily and Ben. She smiles.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. I love you too, Ben. You are my sweet twins. Now, let's go to the living room. I have a surprise for you. I made a cake for you. It is in the oven. But it is not hot anymore. It is ready to eat," Mommy says.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They follow Mommy. They see a big cake. It has icing and sprinkles. It smells good. They say thank you to Mommy. They cut the cake. They eat it. It is yummy. They are happy. They forget about the oven.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with colorful toys. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+Tom runs to the slide first. He climbs up the ladder. He says, "I am the king of the slide. No one can go on the slide but me." He slides down and laughs.
+
+Lily feels sad. She wants to go on the slide too. She says, "Tom, please share the slide. We are friends. Friends share." But Tom does not listen. He climbs up the ladder again. He says, "No, this is my slide. Go away."
+
+Lily starts to cry. Her mom sees her and comes to her. She says, "Lily, what is wrong?" Lily tells her mom what Tom did. Her mom says, "That is not nice. Tom should not be selfish. He should let you have a turn."
+
+Her mom goes to Tom's mom and tells her what happened. Tom's mom is not happy. She says, "Tom, come here. Why are you being mean to Lily? She is your friend. You should share the slide with her. How would you feel if she did the same to you?"
+
+Tom feels ashamed. He knows he was wrong. He says, "I am sorry, Lily. I was selfish. You can go on the slide now. I will wait for you." He goes down the slide and gives it to Lily.
+
+Lily smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I will share the slide with you too." She climbs up the ladder and slides down. She has fun.
+
+Tom and Lily take turns on the slide. They laugh and play together. Their moms are proud of them. They applaud them and say, "Well done, Tom and Lily. You learned to share and be kind. That is what friends do."
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to imagine they were pirates, looking for treasure. They had a map, a hat and a leather bag.
+
+"Arr, matey, we have to find the X on the map. That's where the gold is," Tim said.
+
+"OK, captain, let's go," Mia said. They followed the map to a big tree. They dug under the tree with their hands.
+
+"Look, look, we found it!" Tim shouted. He pulled out a shiny metal box from the dirt. He opened it and saw lots of coins and jewels.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing. We are rich!" Mia said. She grabbed some coins and put them in the leather bag.
+
+"Let's go home and show mom and dad. They will be so proud of us," Tim said. They ran to the gate of the park, holding the box and the bag.
+
+But when they got to the gate, they saw a big dog. The dog was hungry and angry. It saw the leather bag and thought it was delicious. It barked and jumped at Mia.
+
+"Help, help, the dog wants to eat our treasure!" Mia screamed.
+
+Tim tried to help Mia, but the dog was too strong and fast. It bit the leather bag and tore it apart. The coins fell on the ground and rolled away. The dog chased after them.
+
+Tim and Mia were very sad and scared. They lost their treasure and their leather bag. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to draw many things, like animals, flowers, and cars. Ben wanted to draw a big house with many rooms and a pool. He said, "I want to be rich when I grow up. Then I can have a house like this and buy many toys."
+
+Lily looked at his drawing and said, "But you already have many toys. And you have a nice house and a family. You are rich in other ways."
+
+Ben frowned and said, "No, I want to have more money. Money can buy everything."
+
+He grabbed an eraser and tried to erase some of Lily's drawing. He said, "Your drawing is too small and boring. You need to make it bigger and better."
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She said, "Stop it, Ben! That's not nice. You are ruining my drawing. I like my drawing. It is not small and boring. It is simple and happy."
+
+She pushed Ben away and took the eraser from him. She said, "You don't need an eraser. You need to learn how to share and be kind."
+
+She lay the eraser on the table and hugged her drawing. She said, "I don't want to play with you anymore. You are mean and greedy."
+
+She walked away and left Ben alone. He looked at his drawing and felt sorry. He realized that he had hurt Lily's feelings and that money was not the most important thing. He wished he could say sorry and make up with her. He picked up the eraser and followed her. He said, "Lily, wait. I'm sorry. Can we be friends again?"
+Lily loved her red diary. She wrote in it every day. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams. She drew pictures of her family, her pets, her favorite things. She kept her diary under her pillow, so no one could find it.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her diary with her, because she wanted to write about the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. She put her diary in her backpack, and ran to play.
+
+"Can I play with you?" a boy asked her. He had a blue shirt and a big smile.
+
+"Sure!" Lily said. She liked making new friends. They played together for a long time. They pushed each other on the swings, they slid down the slide, they built a castle in the sandbox.
+
+"Can I see what's in your backpack?" the boy asked.
+
+Lily felt nervous. She did not want to show him her diary. It was her secret.
+
+"No, you can't," she said. "It's mine."
+
+"Please, please, please," the boy begged. He tried to grab her backpack.
+
+"Stop it!" Lily shouted. She pulled her backpack away from him. She ran to her mom and dad.
+
+"What's wrong, sweetie?" her mom asked.
+
+"That boy wanted to see my diary," Lily said. "He was mean."
+
+Her dad hugged her. "Don't worry, honey. Your diary is safe. No one can read it without your permission."
+
+Lily smiled. She was glad her dad saved her diary. She opened it and wrote: "Today I met a boy. He was not nice. He wanted to see my diary. But my dad saved it. He is the best." She drew a heart next to her dad's name. She was happy.
+Sara was sick. She felt hot and tired. Her mom put a thermometer in her mouth to check her fever. Sara did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold. She wanted to spit it out, but her mom said, "No, Sara, you have to keep it in for a minute. Then we will know how sick you are."
+
+Sara blinked her eyes. She saw her teddy bear on the bed. She loved her teddy bear. He was soft and warm. He always made her feel better. She wished she could hug him, but her mom said, "No, Sara, you have to stay away from your teddy bear. He might get sick too. We don't want that, do we?"
+
+Sara blinked her eyes again. She saw her dad come in the room. He had a big smile and a small box. He said, "Hi, Sara, I have a surprise for you. I know you are sick, but I hope this will cheer you up." He opened the box and showed her a new toy. It was a compass. It had a needle that pointed to different directions. He said, "This is a compass, Sara. It helps you find your way. You can use it to play and explore when you get better."
+
+Sara smiled. She liked the compass. It was shiny and colorful. She wanted to touch it, but her dad said, "No, Sara, you have to wait until your fever goes down. Then you can play with it. But for now, you can look at it and imagine where you want to go."
+
+Sara blinked her eyes one more time. She saw her mom take out the thermometer from her mouth. She said, "Good news, Sara, your fever is lower. You are getting better. You are a brave girl." She kissed her forehead and hugged her gently. She said, "I love you, Sara. You have a compassionate heart. You care about your teddy bear and your compass. You are a good girl."
+
+Sara felt happy. She felt loved. She said, "I love you, mom. I love you, dad. I love you, teddy bear. I love you, compass. Thank you for making me feel better." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of hugging her teddy bear and playing with her compass. She dreamed of finding her way to a happy place.
+Lily has a pet cat named Fluffy. Fluffy is very chubby and soft. Lily likes to hug and play with Fluffy. But Fluffy does not like to wash. He runs away when Lily tries to wash him with water and soap.
+
+One day, Lily decides to wash Fluffy when he is sleeping. She takes a bucket of water and a sponge and goes to Fluffy's bed. She pours some water on Fluffy and rubs him with the sponge. Fluffy wakes up and meows loudly. He is very angry and wet.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Fluffy says. "I do not like to wash. I wash myself with my tongue. You are making me cold and dirty."
+
+"But Fluffy, you need to wash. You have dirt and fleas on your fur. You will be sick and itchy. I want you to be clean and happy." Lily says.
+
+"No, no, no. I am clean and happy. You are mean and silly. Leave me alone." Fluffy says. He jumps off the bed and runs away. He shakes his fur and licks himself.
+
+Lily feels sad and sorry. She did not mean to make Fluffy angry. She loves Fluffy and wants him to be healthy. She follows Fluffy and says, "Fluffy, I am sorry. I did not want to hurt you. I just wanted to help you. Please forgive me. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Fluffy stops and looks at Lily. He sees that she is crying and has a wet sponge in her hand. He feels a little sorry too. He knows that Lily loves him and wants him to be healthy. He walks back to Lily and rubs his head against her leg. He purrs and says, "Okay, okay, okay. I forgive you. We can be friends again. But please do not wash me again. I can wash myself. You can hug me and play with me. But no water and soap."
+
+Lily smiles and hugs Fluffy. She says, "Thank you, Fluffy. I am happy. You are a good pet. I will not wash you again. I will hug you and play with you. But please let me comb your fur sometimes. It will make you look nice and feel good."
+
+Fluffy nods and says, "Okay, okay, okay. You can comb my fur sometimes. But not too much. I like to be chubby and soft."
+
+Lily and Fluffy are happy again. They go to the living room and play with a ball of yarn. They are good friends and love each other.
+Lily loved mint. She liked how it smelled and how it made her mouth feel cool and fresh. She always asked her mom for mint gum when they went to the store. Mom said she could have one piece after lunch, but not more.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big jar of mint gum on the kitchen counter. She was very eager to have some. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. She opened it and took out a handful of gum. She put them all in her mouth and started to chew.
+
+She chewed and chewed and chewed. The mint was very strong and made her eyes water. She felt her mouth get sticky and full. She tried to spit out the gum, but it was stuck to her teeth and tongue. She started to cry.
+
+Mom heard her cry and came to the kitchen. She saw Lily with gum all over her mouth and the jar on the floor. She was not happy. She helped Lily get the gum out of her mouth and gave her some water. She told her that too much gum was bad for her and that she should not take things without asking.
+
+Lily felt sorry and said she was sorry. She hugged her mom and promised to be good. She learned her lesson. She still liked mint, but only one piece at a time.
+Tim and Mia were playing with cubes in the playroom. They liked to stack them up and make towers and houses. Tim had a big cube that was red and shiny. He was very proud of it and wanted to show it to Mia.
+
+"Look, Mia, look at my cube!" he said. "It is big and red and shiny. Do you like it?"
+
+Mia looked at the cube and smiled. She liked it too, but she wanted to tease Tim a little. She had a small cube that was blue and fuzzy. She held it up and said, "My cube is better than your cube. It is blue and fuzzy and soft. Your cube is hard and cold and boring."
+
+Tim felt angry and sad. He did not like Mia's words. He wanted to make her feel bad too. He looked at her head and saw that she had no hair. She was bald because she had a sickness that made her hair fall out. He thought of a mean thing to say.
+
+"Yeah, well, you are bald!" he shouted. "You have no hair and you look funny. My cube is better than you!"
+
+Mia felt hurt and ashamed. She did not like Tim's words. She wanted to hide her head and cry. She felt embarrassed and alone.
+
+The teacher heard the shouting and came to the playroom. She saw Tim and Mia and their cubes. She saw Mia's tears and Tim's anger. She knew what had happened and she was not happy.
+
+"Tim, Mia, what is going on here?" she asked. "Why are you yelling and hurting each other's feelings?"
+
+Tim and Mia looked at the teacher and felt sorry. They knew they had done something wrong. They did not want to be mean to each other. They wanted to be friends.
+
+"We were playing with cubes and we said bad things," Tim said.
+
+"I said my cube was better than his cube and he said I was bald," Mia said.
+
+The teacher nodded and said, "That was not nice of you. You should not make fun of each other's cubes or hair. You should respect and appreciate each other's differences. You should say sorry and hug and make up."
+
+Tim and Mia felt ashamed and sorry. They looked at each other and said, "Sorry, sorry, sorry." They hugged and smiled. They felt better and happier.
+
+The teacher smiled and said, "That's good. Now, why don't you share your cubes and play together nicely? You can both have fun with the red and shiny cube and the blue and fuzzy cube."
+
+Tim and Mia nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay." They took their cubes and played together nicely. They liked each other's cubes and hair. They were friends again.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and plant and water the flowers. Sara had a big pot with a sunflower in it. She was very proud of her sunflower. It was tall and yellow and bright.
+
+"Look at my sunflower, Ben!" Sara said. "It is so pretty and happy. I admire it every day."
+
+Ben looked at Sara's sunflower. He wished he had a sunflower too. He had a small pot with a daisy in it. His daisy was white and pink and cute. But it was not as big and bright as Sara's sunflower.
+
+"I like your daisy, Ben," Sara said. "It is so sweet and friendly. I admire it too."
+
+Ben smiled, but he was still sad. He wanted a sunflower like Sara's. He thought his daisy was not good enough. He did not admire it anymore.
+
+One day, a storm came. It was very windy and rainy and loud. Sara and Ben ran inside the house. They were scared of the storm. They hoped their flowers would be okay.
+
+When the storm was over, they went back to the garden. They saw that Sara's sunflower was broken. The wind had snapped its stem and its petals were torn. Sara was very sad. She cried and hugged her pot.
+
+"Oh no, my sunflower!" Sara said. "It is ruined. It is not pretty and happy anymore. I don't admire it anymore."
+
+Ben looked at Sara's sunflower. He felt sorry for Sara. He also looked at his daisy. His daisy was still standing. The rain had made it fresh and shiny. His daisy was still white and pink and cute.
+
+"Look at your daisy, Ben!" Sara said. "It is still fine. It is so strong and brave. I admire it more than ever."
+
+Ben looked at Sara. He saw that she was sad. He wanted to make her happy. He had an idea.
+
+"Here, Sara," Ben said. "You can have my daisy. It is a gift for you. I admire you more than ever."
+
+Sara smiled. She took Ben's daisy and put it in her pot. She thanked Ben and hugged him.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," Sara said. "You are very kind and generous. I admire you too."
+
+Sara and Ben were happy. They did not care about the sunflower or the daisy. They cared about each other. They admired each other. They were friends.
+Lily and Tom were at the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wanted to swim in the pond. She took off her shoes and socks and ran to the water.
+
+"Wait, Lily!" Tom shouted. "The pond is dirty. You can't swim there. Mom will be angry."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She jumped into the pond and splashed around. She felt something slimy touch her leg. She looked down and saw a big jelly. It was red and wobbly. It had tiny eyes and a mouth.
+
+"Help!" Lily screamed. "There is a jelly in the pond. It wants to eat me."
+
+Tom ran to Lily and pulled her out of the pond. He was scared too. He saw the jelly move and make a noise. It sounded like a burp.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asked. "You are wet and dirty. And you smell bad."
+
+Lily nodded. She was sorry. She hugged Tom and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I will not swim in the pond again. I don't like jellies. They are gross."
+
+Mom came and saw Lily and Tom. She was not happy. She took them to the car and gave them a towel. She said, "Lily and Tom, you were naughty. You should not swim in the pond. The pond is dirty and dangerous. There are jellies and other things that can hurt you. You need a bath and a nap. And no more jelly for dessert."
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big truck outside their house. The truck has many letters inside. The letters are for many people.
+
+"Wow, look at all the letters!" Tim says. "I want to see them."
+
+"Me too," Sam says. "Let's go and look."
+
+They run to the truck. The truck driver is not there. He is inside the house. He is giving a letter to a famous man. The famous man is on TV. He is very happy to get the letter.
+
+Tim and Sam climb into the truck. They see many colors and shapes on the letters. They want to open them and see what is inside.
+
+"Stop!" a voice says. "What are you doing?"
+
+It is the truck driver. He is angry. He sees Tim and Sam with the letters. He grabs them and takes them out of the truck.
+
+"These are not your letters!" he says. "These are for other people. You are bad boys. You do not work. You only make trouble."
+
+He calls their parents. He tells them what Tim and Sam did. Their parents are angry too. They come and take them home. They scold them and punish them. They do not let them play with their cars and balls.
+
+Tim and Sam are sad. They cry. They are sorry. They learn a lesson. They learn that they should not touch other people's things. They learn that they should work hard and be good. They learn that letters are important and not toys.
+Lily loved her bicycle. It was red and shiny and had a bell. She liked to ride it in the park with her dad. They would go fast and slow and make funny noises.
+
+One day, Lily's bicycle was gone. She looked in the garage, in the backyard, in the living room, but she could not find it. She felt sad and angry. She asked her dad, "Where is my bicycle?"
+
+Her dad hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Someone took your bicycle. They were very bad and mean. We have to get you a new one."
+
+Lily cried and said, "But I don't want a new one. I want my bicycle. I miss my bicycle."
+
+Her dad said, "I know, Lily. I miss it too. But maybe we can find a bicycle that you will like even more. Come on, let's go to the store and see what they have."
+
+They went to the store and saw many bicycles. There were big ones and small ones, blue ones and green ones, ones with baskets and ones with horns. Lily looked at them all, but she did not like any of them. They were not her bicycle.
+
+Then she saw an enormous bicycle. It was bigger than her dad. It was purple and sparkly and had a flag. Lily's eyes widened and she said, "Wow! Look at that bicycle!"
+
+Her dad smiled and said, "Do you like that bicycle, Lily?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I like it. It is so big and pretty. Can I have it?"
+
+Her dad said, "Well, it is very expensive and very heavy. I don't think you can ride it. It is not for little girls like you."
+
+Lily said, "But I want it. Please, dad, please. I will be good and happy and I will not miss my bicycle anymore."
+
+Her dad said, "Lily, I love you, but you have to be realistic. That bicycle is not for you. Let's find another one that is more suitable and fun."
+
+Lily pouted and said, "No, I don't want another one. I want that one. It is the best bicycle ever."
+
+Her dad said, "Lily, stop being stubborn. You are making a scene. Come on, let's go home and talk about this later."
+
+Lily said, "No, no, no. I want that bicycle. I want that bicycle. I want that bicycle."
+
+She started to scream and cry and kick. Her dad sighed and said, "Oh, Lily. What am I going to do with you?"
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big hole under a tree. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's dig and see!" said Tom, who was brave and curious.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" said Sam, who was modest and careful.
+
+They took their shovels and started to dig. They dug and dug until they saw something shiny.
+
+"Wow, look!" said Tom. "It's gold!"
+
+He reached for the shiny thing, but Sam stopped him.
+
+"Wait, Tom! It could be a trap!" said Sam. "Maybe someone put it there to trick us!"
+
+Tom did not listen. He pulled the shiny thing out of the hole. It was a gold coin. He was very happy.
+
+"Ha, ha! I found gold! I'm rich!" he said.
+
+He put the coin in his pocket and looked for more. He did not see the angry face of a gnome who was hiding behind the tree.
+
+The gnome was the owner of the gold. He had buried it under the tree to keep it safe. He did not like anyone to touch his gold. He was very greedy.
+
+He jumped out of his hiding place and ran towards Tom.
+
+"Hey, you! Give me back my gold!" he shouted.
+
+He grabbed Tom's leg and tried to take the coin from his pocket. Tom was scared and screamed.
+
+"Help, Sam! Help!" he cried.
+
+Sam heard his brother and ran to help him. He saw the gnome and was surprised.
+
+"Who are you? What do you want?" he asked.
+
+"I'm a gnome, and I want my gold! It's mine, all mine!" the gnome said.
+
+He pulled harder on Tom's leg, making him fall. Tom dropped the coin on the ground. The gnome snatched it and ran back to the hole.
+
+"Ha, ha! I got my gold! You can't have it!" he said.
+
+He disappeared into the hole with his gold. Tom and Sam were left alone in the garden. They were sad and hurt.
+
+They got up and hugged each other.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam. I was greedy and foolish. I should have listened to you," said Tom.
+
+"It's OK, Tom. I'm sorry, too. I should have been more brave and helped you sooner," said Sam.
+
+They decided to go back to the house and tell their mom what happened. They hoped she would not be angry with them.
+
+They walked slowly to the house, holding hands. They yawned. They were tired and hungry. They learned a lesson that day. Gold is not worth more than friendship.
+Lily and Ben wanted to go to the store with Mom. They liked to look at the toys and books and candy. But it was raining outside and the ground was wet. Mom said they had to wait until the rain stopped.
+
+Lily and Ben were impatient. They did not want to wait. They asked Mom again and again, "Can we go now? Can we go now?" Mom said, "No, not yet. It is still raining. We have to be patient and stay inside."
+
+Lily and Ben were bored. They did not have anything to do. They started to fight over the toys and books and candy they had at home. They made a lot of noise and mess. Mom was not happy. She said, "Stop fighting! You have to share and be kind. Fighting is not nice."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not want to make Mom unhappy. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We will stop fighting. We will share and be kind." They hugged Mom and each other. They cleaned up the noise and mess.
+
+Soon, the rain stopped. The sun came out. Mom said, "Now we can go to the store. Are you ready?" Lily and Ben said, "Yes, we are ready. Thank you, Mom." They put on their shoes and coats and went to the store with Mom. They had fun looking at the toys and books and candy. They did not fight. They shared and were kind. They were happy.
+
+Moral: Patience is a virtue. Fighting is not nice. Sharing and being kind are good.
+Lila and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They had many colors of blocks, but Lila's favorite was purple. She always looked for the purple blocks and put them on top of her towers.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a big tower with purple blocks!" Lila said, showing her brother her creation.
+
+"That's nice, Lila, but I made a bigger tower with red blocks!" Ben said, pointing to his own tower. He wanted to make Lila jealous.
+
+Lila did not like that. She wanted to have the biggest tower. She got up and walked towards Ben's tower. She reached out her hand and pushed it hard.
+
+"Hey, don't do that!" Ben shouted, as his tower fell down and the blocks scattered on the floor. Some of the blocks hit the table and made a loud noise.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the angry faces of Lila and Ben.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked, looking at the broken towers and the blocks.
+
+"Lila broke my tower!" Ben said, pointing at his sister.
+
+"She made a bigger tower than me and I didn't like it!" Lila said, pouting.
+
+Mom sighed. She knew that Lila and Ben sometimes fought over their toys. She picked up a dull block and showed it to them.
+
+"See this block? It's dull. It has no color. It's boring. Do you want to play with dull blocks?" Mom asked.
+
+Lila and Ben shook their heads. They liked colorful blocks.
+
+"Then why do you break each other's towers? When you break them, you make the blocks dull. You take away their color and their fun. You also make each other sad and angry. Is that what you want?" Mom asked.
+
+Lila and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They did not want to make the blocks dull or each other sad and angry.
+
+"No, Mom, we don't want that," Lila said.
+
+"Me neither, Mom," Ben said.
+
+"Then what do you think you should do?" Mom asked.
+
+Lila and Ben thought for a moment. Then they had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can build a new tower together, with all the colors!" Lila said.
+
+"Yeah, and we can make it the biggest and the best tower ever!" Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled. She was glad that Lila and Ben learned their lesson. She helped them pick up the blocks and gave them a hug.
+
+"That sounds like a great idea. I'm proud of you, Lila and Ben. Now, let's see what you can create with your blocks!" Mom said.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play outside. But today it is raining. They are sad.
+
+"Can we go out?" Tom asks his mom.
+
+"No, it is wet and cold. You can play inside," his mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily look for toys. They find a big box. It has many colors. They open the box. It is a puzzle. The puzzle is a rainbow.
+
+"Wow, a rainbow!" Lily says. "Let's make it!"
+
+They remove the pieces from the box. They put them on the floor. They try to match the colors. They work hard.
+
+Soon, they finish the puzzle. It is a beautiful rainbow. They are happy.
+
+"Look, mom, we made a rainbow!" Tom says.
+
+His mom comes to see. She smiles.
+
+"Good job, Tom and Lily. You are very smart," she says.
+
+She looks out the window. The rain has stopped. The sun is shining. There is a real rainbow in the sky.
+
+"Look, there is another rainbow!" she says. "Do you want to go out and see it?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Tom and Lily say.
+
+They put on their shoes and coats. They run outside. They see the rainbow. It has many colors. It is bright and pretty.
+
+They point and laugh. They jump and dance. They are happy.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But Tom saw something weird. It was a big box with wires and buttons. He wanted to touch it.
+
+"Look, Lily, what is that?" he said.
+
+"I don't know, Tom. It looks bad. Don't touch it!" Lily said.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran to the box and pushed a button. The box made a loud noise and smoke came out. Tom was scared and hurt. He shouted, "Ow, ow, ow!"
+
+Lily ran to Tom and saw that his hand was red and burned. She cried, "Tom, you are hurt! We need to get help!"
+
+She saw a man with a hat and a badge. He was a park ranger. She waved and shouted, "Help, help, help!"
+
+The park ranger came and saw the box and Tom. He said, "Oh no, this is a firework. Someone left it here. It is very dangerous. You should not touch it."
+
+He took out a bandage and wrapped it around Tom's hand. He said, "This will help your hand feel better. But you need to go to the doctor. Come with me, I will take you."
+
+Tom and Lily followed the park ranger. They were sad and sorry. They learned a lesson. They should not touch weird things. They should listen to Lily.
+Lily liked to walk on her street with her mom. She saw many things that she liked. She saw dogs and cats and birds and flowers. She saw cars and bikes and buses and trucks. She saw people and houses and shops and parks.
+
+One day, she saw a green car on her street. It was very shiny and pretty. Lily wanted to touch it and sit in it. She asked her mom, "Who owns this green car?"
+
+Her mom said, "I don't know, Lily. Maybe someone who lives on our street. But we can't touch it or sit in it. It is not ours. We have to respect other people's things."
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She did not want to make anyone sad or angry. She said, "Okay, mom. I will not touch it or sit in it. But I can look at it and say hello to it. It is a nice green car."
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can look at it and say hello to it. It is a nice green car. Maybe one day, you will own a green car too. But for now, let's keep walking and see what else we can find on our street."
+Sara liked to play with her mom's gloves. She had many gloves of different colors and sizes. Sara liked to match the gloves and make pairs. She put one glove on each hand and pretended to be a princess or a doctor.
+
+One day, Sara was playing with the gloves in her room. She heard her mom call her for lunch. Sara was hungry and wanted to eat. She was careless and did not put the gloves back in the drawer. She left them on the floor and ran to the kitchen.
+
+After lunch, Sara's mom went to her room to get her coat. She saw the gloves on the floor and was angry. She picked them up and saw that some of them were dirty or torn. She asked Sara why she did not take care of the gloves. Sara said she was sorry and that she forgot. She said she liked to match the gloves and play with them.
+
+Sara's mom was not happy. She said that gloves were not toys and that Sara should not be careless with them. She said that Sara had to help her wash and mend the gloves. She also said that Sara could not play with the gloves anymore. She gave Sara one pair of gloves that was still clean and good. She said that Sara could keep them and wear them when it was cold.
+
+Sara was sad and felt bad. She did not mean to ruin the gloves. She liked to match them and have fun. She hugged her mom and said she was sorry again. She said she would help her fix the gloves and be more careful. She said she would only play with her own gloves and not touch her mom's gloves. She hoped her mom would forgive her and love her.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a good helper. She opened the drawers and took out the spoons and forks. She put them on the table for dinner.
+
+But then she saw something shiny in the drawer. It was a pair of scissors. Lily wanted to play with them. She grabbed them and ran to the living room.
+
+"Stop, Lily!" her mom shouted. "Those are not for playing. They are sharp and can hurt you. Give them to me, please."
+
+Lily did not listen. She wanted to cut the paper and the cloth. She thought it was fun. She quit helping her mom and started to make a mess.
+
+Her mom followed her and saw the scissors in her hand. She was very worried. She took the scissors from Lily and put them back in the drawer. She was not happy.
+
+"Lily, you were not helpful. You were naughty. You did not obey me. You could have hurt yourself or others. You have to say sorry and clean up your mess."
+
+Lily felt bad. She saw her mom's sad face. She knew she did wrong. She said sorry and hugged her mom. She helped her mom to pick up the paper and the cloth. She learned her lesson. She decided to be a good helper again.
+Lily and Tom are playing with blocks. They like to make towers and houses with different colors. Lily has a lot of red blocks and Tom has a lot of blue blocks.
+
+"Look, I made a big tower with red blocks!" Lily says. "It is very tall and strong."
+
+"That is a good tower, Lily," Tom says. "But I like blue more. Blue is a lovely color. Look, I made a house with blue blocks. It has a door and a window."
+
+Lily and Tom look at each other's blocks. They think they are both nice, but they want to try something new.
+
+"Can we add some blocks together?" Lily asks. "Maybe we can make a new color."
+
+"OK, let's try," Tom says. "What if we add a red block and a blue block?"
+
+They take a red block and a blue block and put them next to each other. They see that they make a new color.
+
+"Wow, what is this color?" Lily says. "It is not red and it is not blue. It is something else."
+
+"It is green!" Tom says. "Green is a new color. It is very pretty. I like green."
+
+"Me too," Lily says. "Green is a lovely color. Let's add more red and blue blocks and make more green."
+
+They add more red and blue blocks and make more green blocks. They use the green blocks to make a garden for their tower and house. They are very happy with their new color and their new blocks.
+
+"Look, we made a green garden!" Lily says. "It has flowers and trees and grass. It is very nice."
+
+"Yes, it is," Tom says. "We are very good at adding blocks. We can make many colors and many things."
+
+They smile and hug each other. They are very good friends. They like to play with blocks and add colors. They think green is a lovely color.
+Tom and Lily were playing with crayons. They liked to draw and color on paper. Tom had a blue crayon and Lily had a red crayon. They were happy.
+
+But then Tom saw Lily's red crayon. He wanted it. He said, "Give me your red crayon. I want to draw a fire truck."
+
+Lily said, "No, this is my red crayon. You have a blue crayon. You can draw a sky or a sea."
+
+Tom was stubborn. He did not listen to Lily. He grabbed her red crayon and ran away. Lily was sad and angry. She chased Tom and tried to get her crayon back.
+
+They ran around the room, shouting and pulling the crayon. The crayon broke in half. Tom and Lily both fell down. They looked at the broken crayon. They felt sorry.
+
+They said, "We are sorry. We should not have fought over the crayon. We should have shared and played nicely."
+
+They hugged and made up. They used the broken crayon to draw a rainbow. They learned to be kind and not stubborn. They were happy again.
+Sara was a girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress, and a sweet voice. Sara talked to Lily every day and pretended they were best friends.
+
+One day, Sara's mom told her that they were going to visit her cousin Ben. Ben was a boy who liked to play with cars and trains. He had many cars and trains, but his favorite was Rocky. Rocky was a big truck, with loud noises and bright lights. Ben played with Rocky every day and pretended they were on adventures.
+
+Sara was not happy. She did not like cars and trains. She wanted to stay home and play with Lily. She was impatient and said, "Mom, I don't want to go. Ben is boring. Lily is fun."
+
+Mom said, "Sara, that is not nice. Ben is your cousin and he likes you. He wants to play with you. You should invite him to play with your dolls. Maybe he will like them too. And maybe you will like his cars and trains. You can learn from each other and have fun together."
+
+Sara did not listen. She packed Lily in her bag and went to the car. She did not say hello to Ben when they arrived. She went to his room and took out Lily. She ignored Ben and his cars and trains. She talked to Lily and pretended they were at a tea party.
+
+Ben was sad. He wanted to play with Sara. He liked her dolls. He thought they were pretty and had nice voices. He wanted to invite her to play with his cars and trains. He thought they were cool and had fun noises and lights. He wanted to show her his adventures and learn from her stories.
+
+He went to her and said, "Sara, can I play with you? Can I see your doll? She is very pretty. Can you see my truck? He is very strong. We can play together and have fun."
+
+Sara was rude. She said, "No, you can't. This is my doll. She is mine. I don't like your truck. He is loud and ugly. Go away and leave me alone."
+
+Ben was hurt. He said, "Okay, fine. I will go away. But you are not nice. You are selfish and mean. You don't know how to share and make friends. You are missing out on a lot of fun."
+
+He left her and went to play with his cars and trains by himself. He had fun and made noises and lights. He pretended he was on a rescue mission and saved a kitten from a tree.
+
+Sara heard him and looked at him. She saw him smiling and laughing. She saw his truck lifting the kitten and making it purr. She felt lonely and bored. She realized she was wrong. She wanted to play with Ben. She wanted to see his truck and his kitten. She wanted to share her doll and her tea party. She wanted to have fun and make friends.
+
+She got up and went to him. She said, "Ben, I'm sorry. I was not nice. I was selfish and mean. I do want to play with you. Can I see your truck and your kitten? They are cool and cute. Can you see my doll and my tea party? They are pretty and sweet. We can play together and have fun."
+
+Ben was happy. He said, "Sure, you can. I'm glad you changed your mind. You are nice. You are generous and kind. You do know how to share and make friends. You are not missing out on a lot of fun."
+
+He showed her his truck and his kitten. She showed him her doll and her tea party. They played together and had fun. They made noises and voices. They pretended they were on a rescue mission and a tea party. They learned from each other and had fun together.
+
+Mom saw them and smiled. She said, "Sara, Ben, you are playing so well. I'm proud of you. You are good cousins and good friends. You are smart and creative. You are happy and polite."
+
+Sara and Ben hugged Mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. We love each other. We love our toys. We love to play."
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be selfish and mean. Be generous and kind. Share and make friends. Learn and have fun.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. Today, they go to the toy store with Mom. Mom says they can choose one toy each.
+
+Lily sees a big doll with a pink dress. She likes the doll. She says, "Mom, I want this doll. Can I have it?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, you can have the doll. But you have to wait. We have to pay for it first."
+
+Ben sees a red car with four wheels. He likes the car. He says, "Mom, I want this car. Can I have it?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, you can have the car. But you have to wait. We have to pay for it first."
+
+Lily and Ben hold their toys. They follow Mom to the counter. There are many people in the line. They have to wait for a long time. They feel bored.
+
+Lily says, "Mom, can we go home now? I want to play with my doll."
+
+Ben says, "Mom, can we go home now? I want to play with my car."
+
+Mom says, "I know, sweeties. But we have to wait. It is not our turn yet. Be patient."
+
+Lily and Ben sigh. They look at their toys. They hope the line will move faster. They want to go home and play.
+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the playroom. They liked to build towers and houses with the blocks. Lily was very organized. She sorted the blocks by color and shape. Ben was not very organized. He mixed the blocks and made funny shapes.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a rocket!" Ben said, showing his block creation.
+
+"That's not a rocket, Ben. That's a mess. You need to use the right blocks for a rocket." Lily said, pointing to her own tower.
+
+"No, it's a rocket. It can fly to the moon. Watch!" Ben said, and pushed his block rocket across the floor.
+
+Ben's rocket crashed into Lily's tower and knocked it down. Lily was very angry. She pushed Ben's face with her hand.
+
+"Ow! Lily, that hurt! Why did you do that?" Ben said, rubbing his face.
+
+"You broke my tower, Ben. That was not nice. You need to say sorry." Lily said, crossing her arms.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break your tower. I was just playing." Ben said, looking sad.
+
+"Can we be friends again, Lily? Can we build a new tower together?" Ben said, holding out his hand.
+
+Lily looked at Ben's hand and his face. She saw that he was sorry. She smiled and took his hand.
+
+"Okay, Ben. We can be friends again. And we can build a new tower together. But you have to be more organized, okay?" Lily said, nodding.
+
+"Okay, Lily. I will be more organized. And you can teach me how to make a real rocket, okay?" Ben said, nodding.
+
+"Okay, Ben. I will teach you how to make a real rocket. Come on, let's get some more blocks." Lily said, pulling Ben to the block bin.
+
+They hugged and went to get more blocks. They were happy to play together again.
+Tim and Anna were playing in the park with their bikes. They liked to race each other and see who was faster. But Tim was not careful and he hit a big rock. He fell off his bike and hurt his leg. He cried out loud and Anna ran to him.
+
+"Tim, are you okay?" Anna asked. She saw blood on his leg and felt scared.
+
+"It hurts, it hurts!" Tim said. "I want Mommy!"
+
+Anna saw a man with a phone nearby. She ran to him and said, "Please help! My friend is hurt! He needs an ambulance!"
+
+The man looked at Tim and saw his wound. He nodded and called for help. He said, "Don't worry, little girl. An ambulance is coming soon. They will take your friend to the hospital and make him better."
+
+Anna thanked the man and went back to Tim. She held his hand and said, "You will be okay, Tim. The ambulance will help you. You are brave."
+
+Soon, they heard a loud siren and saw a big white car with a red cross. It was the ambulance. Two people came out of the car and brought a stretcher. They put Tim on the stretcher and put a bandage on his leg. They said, "We are here to help you, Tim. You have a terrible cut on your leg, but we will fix it. You will be fine."
+
+They put Tim in the car and said to Anna, "Do you want to come with us? We can call your mom and tell her where you are."
+
+Anna nodded and got in the car. She was sad and worried, but she was glad that Tim was getting help. She hoped he would heal soon and they could play again. She said to Tim, "I'm sorry you got hurt, Tim. I'm your friend and I love you."
+
+Tim smiled and said, "I love you too, Anna. Thank you for helping me."
+One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, and swings. They also saw a lot of waste on the ground: cans, bottles, papers, and wrappers. Ben and Lily did not like the waste. They thought it was ugly and bad for the park.
+
+"Mom, why is there so much waste in the park?" Ben asked.
+
+"Some people do not care about the park. They throw their waste on the ground and do not put it in the bin." Mom said.
+
+"That is not nice. They should put their waste in the bin. The park is for everyone to enjoy." Lily said.
+
+"You are right, Lily. The park is for everyone to enjoy. And we can help to keep it clean and beautiful." Mom said.
+
+"How can we help, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"We can pick up some of the waste and put it in the bin. We can also use less waste when we come to the park. We can bring our own water bottles and snacks in reusable containers." Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily liked Mom's idea. They found a big blue bag and started to pick up some of the waste. They put the waste in the bag and then in the bin. They felt happy and proud. They saw that the park looked cleaner and nicer.
+
+"Look, Mom, we did a good job. The park is more blue and green now." Ben said.
+
+"Yes, you did a good job. I am proud of you. You are good helpers and good friends of the park." Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily learned that they can make a difference by caring for the park. They also learned that they can use less waste and reuse things. They decided to do the same at home and at school. They wanted to keep the world clean and beautiful.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's try the slide. It is fun!" Anna says.
+
+"No, no, no, it is too high. I don't want to try the slide. I want to play with the sand." Ben says.
+
+Anna is sad. She wants to play with Ben, but she also wants to try the slide. She has an idea. She takes Ben's finger and pulls him to the slide.
+
+"Look, Ben, it is not so high. You can hold my finger and we can go together. It will be fun, I promise." Anna says.
+
+Ben is still scared, but he trusts Anna. He holds her finger and they climb the stairs. Anna is playful. She makes funny faces and noises to make Ben laugh. Ben feels a little better.
+
+They reach the top of the slide. Anna smiles and says, "Ready, set, go!" They slide down together, holding fingers. They feel the wind and the sun. They laugh and scream. They land on the ground, safe and happy.
+
+"Wow, that was fun! Can we try again?" Ben says.
+
+"Of course, we can try again. You are brave, Ben. I am proud of you." Anna says.
+
+They hug and run to the slide again. They try the slide many times, holding fingers. They have a lot of fun. They are best friends.
+Tom is a boy who likes to look at the stars. He has a big book with pictures of planets. He wants to learn more about them. One night, he sees a bright light in the sky. He thinks it is a new planet.
+
+He runs to his mom and says, "Mom, mom, look! There is a new planet in the sky! Can we go see it?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That is not a planet, Tom. That is a star. It is very far away. But we can use a telescope to see it better. Do you want to try?"
+
+Tom nods and says, "Yes, please! I want to see the star!"
+
+Mom takes Tom to the backyard, where they have a telescope. She helps him to set it up and adjust it. She says, "This star is called Sirius. It is the brightest star in the night sky. It is also very helpful. It helps people to find their way when they are lost. It is like a big flashlight in the sky."
+
+Tom looks through the telescope and sees the star. It is very shiny and sparkly. He says, "Wow, it is so beautiful! Thank you, mom, for introducing me to Sirius. It is a very helpful star. I like it a lot!"
+
+Mom hugs Tom and says, "You are welcome, Tom. I am glad you like it. Maybe someday, you will go to space and see more stars and planets. But for now, let's go inside and have some cookies. It is getting late and you need to sleep."
+
+Tom agrees and says, "Okay, mom. But can we look at the stars again tomorrow?"
+
+Mom says, "Of course, Tom. We can look at the stars anytime you want. They are always there for us to enjoy."
+
+They go inside and have some cookies. Then they brush their teeth and go to bed. Tom dreams of stars and planets and space. He is very happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. The garden has many flowers and trees and bugs. Lily and Tom have a bucket and a shovel. They dig in the dirt and make a big hole.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a worm!" Lily says. She holds the worm in her hand and shows it to Tom.
+
+"Wow, Lily, that is a long worm!" Tom says. He points to the worm and smiles. He likes worms. They are slimy and wiggly.
+
+"Let's put the worm in the bucket. Maybe we can find more worms," Lily says. She puts the worm in the bucket and digs some more.
+
+They dig and dig and dig. They make a big mess in the garden. The dirt is everywhere. The flowers are broken. The bugs are scared.
+
+"Uh-oh, Lily, look!" Tom says. He points to the house. He sees Mom coming. Mom looks angry.
+
+"What are you doing, Lily and Tom?" Mom says. She sees the messy garden. She is not happy.
+
+"Sorry, Mom, we were looking for worms," Lily says. She holds the bucket and shows it to Mom.
+
+"Worms? You made this mess for worms?" Mom says. She shakes her head. She is not pleased.
+
+"Please, Mom, don't be mad. We like worms. They are fun," Tom says. He tries to make Mom smile.
+
+Mom sighs. She loves Lily and Tom, but she does not like the messy garden.
+
+"Okay, Lily and Tom, you can keep the worms, but you have to clean up the garden. You have to put the dirt back in the hole, and fix the flowers, and say sorry to the bugs. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we understand. We will clean up the garden. We are sorry, Mom," Lily and Tom say.
+
+They put the bucket down and start to clean up the garden. They work hard and fast. They want to make Mom happy again.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill in the west. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go to the hill!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful. Mom said not to go too far," Lily said.
+
+They ran to the hill and started to climb. It was hard and steep. They had to hold on to rocks and grass. They were almost at the top when they heard a loud roar.
+
+"What was that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. It sounded like a big animal," Ben said.
+
+They looked around and saw a big bear. It was angry and hungry. It saw them and started to run towards them.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouted.
+
+They ran down the hill as fast as they could. The bear was faster. It was getting closer and closer. Lily tripped and fell. She hurt her knee. She cried.
+
+"Help, Ben, help!" she screamed.
+
+Ben saw Lily on the ground. He was scared, but he wanted to save her. He picked up a stick and threw it at the bear. The stick hit the bear on the nose. The bear was surprised and stopped. It growled and shook its head.
+
+"Come on, Lily, get up!" Ben said.
+
+He helped Lily stand up. They ran away from the bear. They ran to the park. They saw their mom. She was worried. She had been looking for them.
+
+"Where were you? I was so scared!" she said.
+
+"We were on the hill. We saw a bear. It chased us. Ben saved me," Lily said.
+
+She hugged Ben. Ben hugged her back.
+
+"You were brave, Ben. You saved Lily. I'm proud of you," mom said.
+
+She hugged them both. She checked Lily's knee. It was not bad. She put a band-aid on it.
+
+"Let's go home. No more hills today," she said.
+
+They nodded. They were tired and hungry. They held mom's hand and walked home. They were happy and safe.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they visit Tom's grandma. Grandma is nice. She gives them cookies and milk.
+
+"Hello, Lily and Tom," Grandma says. "How are you today?"
+
+"We are good, Grandma," Lily says. "We like your cookies. They are yummy."
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Grandma says. "You are very sweet."
+
+Tom has a big ear. He can hear very well. He hears a noise outside. He goes to the window. He sees a cat. The cat is black and white. The cat is stupid. It tries to catch a bird. But the bird is too fast. The bird flies away. The cat falls from the tree.
+
+"Look, Lily, look!" Tom says. "The cat is stupid. It falls from the tree. Ha ha ha!"
+
+Lily goes to the window. She sees the cat. She feels sorry for the cat. She does not think the cat is stupid. She thinks the cat is brave.
+
+"Tom, don't laugh at the cat," Lily says. "The cat is not stupid. The cat is brave. It tries to catch the bird. Maybe it is hungry."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He does not want to be mean. He likes Lily. He likes the cat.
+
+"OK, Lily, you are right," Tom says. "The cat is brave. But it is also funny. Can we go outside and play with the cat?"
+
+"Yes, Tom, we can," Lily says. "But first, we have to ask Grandma."
+
+They go to Grandma. They ask her if they can go outside and play with the cat. Grandma says yes. She tells them to be careful and gentle. She tells them to come back soon.
+
+Lily and Tom go outside. They find the cat. The cat is OK. It is not hurt. It is just a little dirty. Lily and Tom pet the cat. The cat purrs. It likes Lily and Tom. Lily and Tom like the cat. They play with the cat. They have fun. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big peach on the ground. It is clean and juicy.
+
+"Wow, look at this peach!" Anna says. "It is so big and sweet!"
+
+"Can we share it?" Ben asks. "I am hungry."
+
+"Okay, we can share it," Anna says. "But first, we have to marry."
+
+"Marry? What is that?" Ben asks.
+
+Anna giggles. "It is when you say you love someone and you give them a ring. Like this." She picks a flower and puts it on Ben's finger.
+
+"Like this?" Ben says. He picks another flower and puts it on Anna's finger.
+
+"Yes, like this. Now we are married. And we can eat the peach," Anna says.
+
+They smile and bite the peach. It is delicious. They are happy. They are married.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. But today, they saw something new and mysterious. It was a big box with a red button on it. It was near the fence, under a tree.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked. She wanted to go and see it.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. He was scared. He wanted to stay away from it.
+
+"Let's go and look," Lily said. She had an urge to touch the button. She thought it might be fun.
+
+"No, let's not," Ben said. He started to complain. He said it might be dangerous. He said it might make a loud noise. He said it might be a trap.
+
+"Mom, can we go and see the box?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom looked at the box. She did not know what it was either. She thought it was mysterious too. But she did not want to upset Ben. She wanted to keep them safe.
+
+"Maybe we should leave it alone," Mom said. "It might belong to someone else. It might be broken. It might be dirty."
+
+Lily was disappointed. She still wanted to see the box. But she listened to Mom. She did not want to make Ben cry. She did not want to be naughty.
+
+"Okay, Mom," Lily said. She gave up her urge. She went back to the swing with Ben. They had fun together.
+
+But she still wondered what was in the box. And what would happen if she pressed the button. Maybe she would find out another day.
+Lia and Kai were hungry. They wanted to eat fish. They took their spears and went to the river. They saw many fish swimming in the water.
+
+"Look, Kai, there is a big fish!" Lia said. She threw her spear at the fish. But she missed. The fish swam away.
+
+"Try again, Lia. You can do it!" Kai said. He threw his spear at another fish. He hit it. He pulled the fish out of the water.
+
+"Good job, Kai!" Lia said. She was happy for her brother. But she was also troubled. She wanted to catch a fish too.
+
+They saw more fish. Lia and Kai threw their spears again and again. Lia missed again and again. Kai caught more fish. He had four fish. Lia had none.
+
+"Lia, do you want one of my fish?" Kai asked. He was kind. He wanted to share with his sister.
+
+"No, thank you, Kai. I want to catch my own fish." Lia said. She was stubborn. She wanted to prove herself.
+
+She saw a very big fish. It was bigger than any fish they had seen before. It had shiny scales and a long tail. Lia thought it was beautiful. She wanted to catch it.
+
+She threw her spear with all her strength. She hit the fish. She was surprised and happy. She pulled the fish out of the water. It was heavy and strong. It splashed and wriggled.
+
+"Wow, Lia, you caught the biggest fish!" Kai said. He was proud of his sister. He helped her carry the fish.
+
+They went back to their home. They cooked the fish over the fire. They ate the fish. It was delicious. They were full and happy.
+
+They thanked the fish for giving them food. They thanked each other for being good friends. They hugged and smiled. They were not troubled anymore.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big pot with flowers. They wanted to smell the flowers, but the pot was too high. They tried to reach the pot, but they could not.
+
+"Let's get a chair," Tom said. "Then we can climb on it and smell the flowers."
+
+"Good idea," Lily said. They ran to the house and got a chair. They brought it to the garden and put it near the pot. Tom climbed on the chair and lifted Lily up. They were very happy. They smelled the flowers and smiled.
+
+But then the chair wobbled. Tom and Lily lost their balance. They fell down with a loud thud. The pot also fell down and broke. The flowers scattered on the ground. Tom and Lily were scared and hurt. They cried.
+
+Mama heard the noise and came to the garden. She saw the mess and the children. She was angry and sad.
+
+"What did you do?" she asked. "You broke the pot and the flowers. You could have hurt yourselves. You should not play with things you don't know."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry. They did not know the pot was so heavy and fragile. They did not mean to break it. They felt helpless.
+
+"We are sorry, Mama," they said. "We just wanted to smell the flowers. We did not know it was bad."
+
+Mama sighed. She hugged the children and kissed their bruises. She was not angry anymore. She was glad they were not badly hurt.
+
+"It's okay, my loves," she said. "I know you did not know. But next time, please ask me before you touch something you don't know. I will help you and show you. I love you."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said they loved Mama too. They helped Mama clean up the mess and plant new flowers. They learned a lesson. They were happy again.
+Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big pile of pebbles near the slide. They decided to make a castle with the pebbles.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a shiny pebble!" Lily said, holding up a smooth, round stone. "It can be the king of our castle."
+
+"Wow, that's a nice pebble, Lily," Ben said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Lily was polite and shared her pebble with Ben. He looked at it and smiled. Then he had an idea.
+
+"Hey, Lily, do you want to play a game?" he asked. "We can pretend that the pebble is a magic ball. If we throw it in the air and catch it, we can make a wish."
+
+"OK, that sounds fun," Lily said. "You go first."
+
+Ben took the pebble and threw it high in the air. He watched it sparkle in the sun. He wished for a big ice cream cone. He reached out his hands to catch the pebble.
+
+But he missed. The pebble fell to the ground and bounced away. Ben and Lily ran after it, but they could not find it. It was lost in the grass.
+
+"Oh, no, Ben, we lost the pebble!" Lily said, feeling sad. "It was so pretty and special."
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, it was my fault," Ben said, feeling sorry. "I should have been more careful. I know you liked the pebble a lot."
+
+They hugged and said they were still friends. Then they heard a voice.
+
+"Hey, kids, look what I found!" It was a man who was walking his dog. He had the pebble in his hand. He saw Ben and Lily and smiled. "Is this yours?"
+
+"Yes, yes, it's ours!" Ben and Lily said, jumping up and down. "Thank you, thank you, mister!"
+
+The man gave them the pebble and patted their heads. "You're welcome, kids. You have a nice day."
+
+Ben and Lily were so happy. They thanked the man again and ran back to their castle. They decided to keep the pebble safe and not throw it anymore. They put it on top of the castle and admired it.
+
+Then they heard a loud sound. It was the other kids in the park. They saw Ben and Lily's castle and their pebble. They thought it was amazing. They came over and said nice things.
+
+"Wow, what a cool castle!"
+
+"Look at that shiny pebble!"
+
+"Can we play with you?"
+
+Ben and Lily were polite and said yes. They shared their castle and their pebble with the other kids. They played together and had fun. They were all friends.
+
+The other kids liked Ben and Lily's game. They took turns throwing the pebble in the air and making wishes. They caught it every time. They wished for silly things, like a pink elephant or a flying car.
+
+Ben and Lily laughed and clapped. They were happy. They had their pebble, their castle, and their friends. They did not need anything else.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big book on a bench. It has many words and pictures inside. Tom says, "This is a dictionary. It can help us learn new words." Mia says, "Wow, let me see!"
+
+They open the book and look at the pages. They see words like "apple", "ball", and "cat". They point and say the words out loud. They have fun with the dictionary. They do not see the man who left the book on the bench. He is angry and mean. He wants his book back.
+
+The man comes back to the bench. He sees Tom and Mia with his book. He yells, "Hey, you little thieves! Give me back my book!" He runs towards them. Tom and Mia are scared. They drop the book and run away. The man grabs the book and throws it at them. The book hits Mia on the head. She falls down and cries. Tom runs back to help her. He is sad and sorry.
+
+The man laughs and walks away with his book. He does not care about Tom and Mia. He does not care if they are hurt or sad. He only cares about his book. Tom and Mia are alone and sad. They have no book and no fun. They have a bad day. The end.
+Lily liked to spin. She spun on the grass, on the floor, on her chair. She spun so fast that she felt dizzy and happy. One day, she saw her dad's wallet on the table. It was brown and shiny and had many cards and papers inside. Lily wanted to spin with the wallet. She thought it would be fun.
+
+She took the wallet and ran to the garden. She spun and spun and spun with the wallet in her hand. She laughed and giggled. She did not see her dad looking for his wallet in the house. She did not hear him calling her name. She did not notice the wallet flying out of her hand and landing on the road.
+
+A car came by. It was big and loud and fast. It ran over the wallet and crushed it. The cards and papers flew out and scattered. The driver did not stop. He did not care. He had a cheap car and a cheap heart.
+
+Lily stopped spinning. She saw the mess on the road. She felt scared and sad. She dropped to the ground and cried. Her dad came out and saw what happened. He was angry and worried. He hugged Lily and said, "Lily, why did you take my wallet? You know it is important and not a toy. You could have lost it or hurt yourself. You have to be careful and listen to me."
+
+Lily sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted to spin. I didn't mean to break your wallet. I love you, dad."
+
+Her dad sighed and said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to learn from your mistake. Spinning is fun, but not with everything. Some things are not for spinning. Some things are for keeping and using. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, dad. I understand. I won't spin with your wallet again. I will spin with my ball or my doll or my hat. But not with your wallet."
+
+Her dad smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. Now let's go and see if we can fix my wallet. And maybe we can get some ice cream on the way. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "That sounds great, dad. I love ice cream. And I love you, dad."
+
+They held hands and walked to the house. They left the road behind. They did not see the car coming back. It was the same car that ran over the wallet. The driver had a bad feeling. He had seen something shiny in his rearview mirror. He thought it might be something valuable. He turned around and drove back. He hoped to find a treasure. He did not find a treasure. He found a wallet. A brown and shiny and crushed wallet. A wallet that had nothing inside but cards and papers. Cards and papers that were torn and dirty and useless. He felt angry and stupid. He had a cheap car and a cheap heart. And now he had a cheap wallet. He threw the wallet away and drove off. He did not spin. He did not laugh. He did not giggle. He did not feel dizzy and happy. He felt nothing at all.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. They had many toys, but they always shared. They were helpful to each other.
+
+One day, a new boy came to their class. His name was Max. He had no toys, so he wanted to play with Lily and Tom's toys. But he did not ask nicely. He just grabbed them and said, "Mine!"
+
+Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They said, "No, Max! Those are our toys. They belong to us. You have to share and be nice."
+
+But Max did not listen. He pushed them and ran away with their toys. He laughed and said, "Ha ha! I have all the toys now. You have nothing!"
+
+Lily and Tom cried. They had no toys to play with. They had no peace. They had no friend. They wished Max would go away.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the garage. They saw a big motor on a shelf. It looked shiny and round.
+
+"Let's poke it!" Sam said. He climbed on a box and reached for the motor.
+
+"No, Sam, don't!" Lily said. She was scared. She heard Dad say the motor was dangerous. It could hurt them.
+
+But Sam did not listen. He poked the motor with his finger. He felt a shock. He screamed and fell off the box.
+
+Lily ran to him. She saw blood on his finger. She saw smoke from the motor. She cried and called for Mom.
+
+Mom came and saw what happened. She was angry and sad. She took Sam to the hospital. She threw away the motor. She told Lily to never play in the garage again.
+Lily and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Lily is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Ben runs behind a big tree and waits for Lily to find him. He thinks he is very clever and he winks at a bird that is sitting on a branch.
+
+Lily looks around and sees the bird. She thinks the bird is winking at her and she smiles. She walks towards the tree and says, "I see you, Ben! You are hiding behind the tree!"
+
+Ben is surprised and jumps out from behind the tree. He says, "How did you find me? I was hiding very well!"
+
+Lily says, "The bird told me! He winked at me and showed me where you were!"
+
+Ben looks at the bird and says, "That is a crazy bird! He is not my friend! He is your friend!"
+
+Lily laughs and says, "He is a nice bird! He is my friend and your friend! He just likes to play!"
+
+Ben and Lily hug the bird and say, "Thank you, bird! You are a fun bird! Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The bird nods and winks again. He says, "Yes, I want to play with you! You are fun kids! Let's play hide and seek again!"
+
+Lily and Ben and the bird play hide and seek again. They have a lot of fun and they are happy.
+Sara was a spoiled girl who always wanted to have the best things. She did not like to share with her friends or say thank you to anyone. One day, she went to a birthday party at Lily's house. Lily was very kind and gave Sara a pretty cup with a picture of a unicorn on it.
+
+"Wow, this is a nice cup!" Sara said. "Can I keep it?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Sure, you can keep it. It is a gift for you."
+
+Sara was very happy and put the cup on the table. She went to play with the other children and forgot about the cup. She did not say thank you to Lily or her mom.
+
+Later, when it was time to have cake and juice, Sara came back to the table and saw that her cup was gone. She looked around and saw that Ben, a boy who liked dinosaurs, had taken her cup and was drinking from it.
+
+"Hey, that's my cup!" Sara shouted. "Give it back to me!"
+
+Ben looked surprised and said, "No, it's not your cup. It's Lily's cup. She gave it to me because I said I liked unicorns too."
+
+Sara was very angry and tried to grab the cup from Ben. But Ben held on tight and they both pulled and tugged. The cup slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. It broke into pieces and the juice spilled everywhere.
+
+Everyone stopped and looked at them. Sara and Ben felt very bad. They had ruined Lily's cup and made a mess. Lily started to cry and her mom came to comfort her.
+
+Sara and Ben realized that they had been very rude and selfish. They felt very embarrassed and sorry. They apologized to Lily and her mom and helped to clean up the mess. They learned that they should not take things that are not theirs and that they should be grateful and respectful to their friends.
+One day, a little bird was flying in the sky. He saw a big boat on the water. The boat was making a lot of noise and smoke. The bird was curious and flew closer to the boat.
+
+But when he got near the boat, he saw something bad. The boat was leaking oil into the water. The oil was black and sticky and smelled bitter. The bird saw many fish and turtles and crabs stuck in the oil. They could not swim or breathe. They were very sad and scared.
+
+The bird felt sorry for the animals. He wanted to help them. He flew back to his nest and told his friends what he saw. His friends were also sorry and wanted to help. They decided to make a plan.
+
+They flew to the boat and found a big hole where the oil was coming out. They gathered some leaves and twigs and grass and tried to plug the hole. They worked very hard and very fast. They used their beaks and claws and wings to push the stuff into the hole.
+
+After a while, they stopped the oil from leaking. The water became clearer and cleaner. The fish and turtles and crabs could swim and breathe again. They were very happy and grateful. They thanked the birds for saving them.
+
+The birds were very proud and happy too. They had done a good thing. They flew back to their nest and sang a song. They hoped the boat would fix the hole and not make more oil in the water. They hoped the animals would be safe and healthy. They hoped the water would be blue and beautiful.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They find a big wood stick. They want to make a tent with it.
+
+"Can I have the wood stick?" Anna asks.
+
+"No, it is mine. I found it first," Ben says.
+
+"But we can share it. We can make a big tent together," Anna says.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He likes Anna. She is a dependable friend. She always helps him and shares her toys.
+
+"Okay, we can share it. But you have to help me find more wood sticks," Ben says.
+
+"Deal. Let's go find more wood sticks," Anna says.
+
+They run around the park, looking for more wood sticks. They find some and bring them to their spot. They make a big tent with the wood sticks and a blanket. They are happy. They value their friendship and their wood tent.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw many things in the park: birds, flowers, dogs and people.
+
+One day, they saw something new. It was big and red and shiny. It had four round things and a loud sound. It was a fire truck. Lily and Tom ran to the fence to see it better.
+
+"Wow!" Lily said. "What is that?"
+
+"It is a fire truck," Tom said. "It helps when there is a fire. It has water and a ladder and a siren."
+
+Lily and Tom gazed at the fire truck. They liked how it looked and how it sounded. They wanted to see it closer.
+
+"Can we go and touch it?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe we have to ask."
+
+They saw a man in a yellow hat and a black coat. He was a fireman. He came out of the fire truck and smiled at them.
+
+"Hello, kids," he said. "Do you like the fire truck?"
+
+"Yes!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+"Do you want to see it closer?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+The fireman opened the door and let them in. He showed them the seats, the buttons, the hoses and the helmets. He let them wear the helmets and sit in the driver's seat. He even turned on the siren for a moment.
+
+Lily and Tom were very happy. They thanked the fireman and gave him a hug. They said goodbye to the fire truck and went back to their play.
+
+They had a lot of fun that day. They learned something new and made a new friend. They always remembered the big, red, shiny fire truck.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road.
+
+"Look at me, I'm so fast!" Ben said, making his car go forward and backward. "I can reverse like a pro!"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "That's cool, Ben. But can you do this?" She made her car do a loop-de-loop in the air and land on the couch. "Ta-da!"
+
+Ben clapped and said, "Wow, Lily, you're amazing! How did you do that?"
+
+Lily shrugged and said, "I don't know, I just tried. It was fun."
+
+Ben said, "You're very humble, Lily. You don't brag about your skills. You're a good friend."
+
+Lily said, "Thank you, Ben. You're a good friend too. You always share your toys and your snacks."
+
+They hugged and decided to play some more. They noticed that their mom had left her scarf on the chair. They thought it would be fun to use it as a ramp for their cars. They tied one end to the chair and let the other end hang down. They took turns making their cars slide down the scarf and land on the floor.
+
+They had a lot of fun with the scarf. They laughed and cheered and made funny noises. They didn't notice that their mom had come back from the kitchen and was watching them with a smile.
+
+She said, "What are you two doing with my scarf?"
+
+They looked up and saw her. They said, "Sorry, mom. We were playing with our cars. We used your scarf as a ramp. It was fun."
+
+She said, "That's okay, my loves. I'm glad you're having fun. But be careful not to rip or stain my scarf. It's very special to me. It was a gift from your grandma."
+
+They said, "We're sorry, mom. We didn't know. We'll be gentle with your scarf. We love you and grandma."
+
+She said, "I love you too, my sweeties. You're very creative and kind. Now, how about we put the scarf away and have some cookies?"
+
+They said, "Yes, please!"
+
+They helped their mom fold the scarf and put it back on the chair. Then they followed her to the kitchen and enjoyed some cookies and milk. They were happy and grateful. They had a good day.
+Tommy was a boy who liked to play outside. He had a big yard with many trees and flowers. He also had a friend who lived in one of the trees. His friend was a squirrel named Sam.
+
+One day, Tommy went outside to play with Sam. He brought some nuts and seeds for him. He called, "Sam, Sam, where are you? I have a gift for you!"
+
+Sam heard Tommy and came down from his tree. He was very happy to see Tommy and his gift. He said, "Hi, Tommy, thank you for the gift! You are very kind!"
+
+Tommy smiled and said, "You're welcome, Sam. I like you very much. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Yes, I do. But first, can I fill my cheeks with some nuts and seeds? I am very hungry."
+
+Tommy said, "Of course, you can. Here, take some more. You can eat them later."
+
+Sam thanked Tommy and filled his cheeks with as many nuts and seeds as he could. He looked very funny with his big cheeks. Tommy laughed and said, "You look like a balloon, Sam!"
+
+Sam laughed too and said, "You look like a sun, Tommy!"
+
+They played together for a long time. They ran, jumped, climbed, and hid. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But soon, they became very tired. They decided to rest under the tree. Sam said, "I am very sleepy, Tommy. Can I sleep on your lap?"
+
+Tommy said, "Sure, Sam. You can sleep on my lap. I am very sleepy too. Can I hug you?"
+
+Sam said, "Yes, you can. You are very warm and soft."
+
+They hugged each other and fell asleep. They had a very nice nap. They were very good friends.
+Lily was a good girl. She was obedient to her mom and dad. She liked to play with her toys and read her books. She also liked to brush her teeth every night before bed.
+
+One night, Lily felt a pain in her mouth. She touched her tooth and it was loose. She was scared. She ran to her mom and showed her the tooth. Mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's normal. Your tooth is ready to come out. You will get a new one soon. And maybe the tooth fairy will visit you."
+
+Lily felt better. She brushed her tooth gently and put on her pajamas. She climbed into her bed and waited for the tooth fairy. She wondered what the tooth fairy looked like and what she would give her. She hoped it was something nice.
+
+But it was a cold night. The wind blew hard and made noises. Lily shivered under her blanket. She wished her mom or dad would come and tuck her in. She felt lonely and afraid. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep.
+
+Suddenly, she heard a soft sound. She opened her eyes and saw a tiny light. It was the tooth fairy. She had wings and a dress and a wand. She smiled at Lily and whispered, "Hello, Lily. I'm here to take your tooth and leave you a gift. You are a brave and obedient girl. I'm proud of you."
+
+Lily was amazed. She reached under her pillow and gave the tooth fairy her tooth. The tooth fairy took it and put it in a small bag. Then she gave Lily a shiny coin and a sticker. She said, "Thank you, Lily. This is for you. Keep brushing your teeth and being good. Good night."
+
+Lily thanked the tooth fairy and hugged her. She felt warm and happy. She put the coin and the sticker on her nightstand and watched the tooth fairy fly away. She snuggled into her bed and fell asleep with a smile. She dreamed of the tooth fairy and her new tooth.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb it.
+
+"Let's go up the hill!" Tom says.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The path is steep and rocky." Lily says.
+
+They start to climb. Tom goes fast. He wants to be the first. Lily goes slow. She is scared of falling.
+
+"Tom, wait for me!" Lily calls.
+
+"Come on, Lily, you can do it!" Tom shouts.
+
+Tom reaches the top. He looks around. He sees trees and flowers and birds. He feels happy.
+
+Lily is still on the path. She is tired and sad. She thinks she cannot make it.
+
+"Tom, I can't do it. It's too hard." Lily cries.
+
+Tom hears Lily. He runs down the path. He finds Lily. He holds her hand.
+
+"Lily, don't cry. You can do it. I will help you. We will manage together." Tom says.
+
+"Really?" Lily asks.
+
+"Really. Trust me. You are my friend." Tom says.
+
+They walk up the path. Tom helps Lily. He tells her jokes and stories. He makes her laugh. Lily feels better.
+
+They reach the top. They hug. They look around. They see trees and flowers and birds. They feel happy.
+
+They did it. They managed. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers of different colors and shapes. They were curious about how the flowers grew and smelled.
+
+One day, they found a big red flower that was not open yet. It looked like a ball with a green stem. Tom wanted to see what was inside the ball. He ran to the shed and got an axe. He said to Lily, "I will cut the ball and see what is inside. Maybe there is a treasure or a toy."
+
+Lily was scared. She said to Tom, "No, don't cut the ball. It is a flower that will bloom soon. It will be very pretty and smell good. If you cut it, you will hurt it and make it sad. And maybe the flower fairy will be angry with you."
+
+Tom did not listen to Lily. He swung the axe and hit the ball. But the ball was hard and the axe bounced back. It hit Tom on the head and made him cry. Lily ran to him and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay? Let me get a band-aid for you."
+
+They went inside the house and told their mom what happened. Mom was not happy. She said, "Tom, you were very naughty. You should not use the axe without asking me. And you should not hurt the flowers. They are living things that need love and care. You should say sorry to the flower and the flower fairy."
+
+Tom felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was curious and wanted to see what was inside the ball. I did not know it was a flower that will bloom. I will say sorry to the flower and the flower fairy."
+
+Mom said, "That's good, Tom. And next time, if you are curious, you can ask me or look in a book. There are many things you can learn without hurting anything."
+
+Tom and Lily went back to the garden. They saw that the ball was still there, but it had a crack. They said sorry to the ball and the flower fairy. They hoped that the ball would still bloom and be happy. They decided to wait and watch the ball every day. They wondered what color and shape it would be when it opened. They learned to be patient and respectful of nature.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Ben found a big beetle with shiny green wings. He picked it up and showed it to Lily.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a beetle!" Ben said.
+
+Lily looked at the beetle. She thought it was weird. It had six legs, two horns and a hard shell. She did not like it.
+
+"Put it down, Ben, it is weird!" Lily said.
+
+Ben did not think it was weird. He thought it was cool. He wanted to watch it more. He put it on his hand and moved it closer to his face.
+
+"No, Ben, don't watch it, it might bite you!" Lily said.
+
+Ben did not listen to Lily. He watched the beetle. The beetle moved its horns and opened its wings. It made a loud buzzing sound. Ben was scared. He dropped the beetle and ran away.
+
+"Help, help, the beetle is angry!" Ben said.
+
+Lily laughed. She was not scared of the beetle. She watched it fly away. She thought it was funny.
+
+"See, Ben, I told you it was weird!" Lily said.

+
+She starts to sing a song. She sings a song about a rainbow. She sings about the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple colors. She sings about how the rainbow makes her happy.

+The doctor smiles. He says, "You are a good singer, Mia. You are also a good patient. The needle is done. You did not cry. You are very strong. Here is a sticker for you. You can choose any sticker you want."
+
+Mia stops singing. She looks at the stickers. She sees a sticker of a rainbow. She likes the rainbow. She picks the rainbow sticker. She puts it on her shirt.

+
+"Let's go say hi to the dog," Lila said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Tom said.
+
+They walked slowly to the dog and smiled. The dog looked friendly and licked their hands. Lila and Tom petted the dog and scratched its ears.
+
+"Hello, dog. What is your name?" Lila asked.
+
+The dog barked and wagged its tail more. It seemed to like them.
+
+"Maybe he is hungry," Tom said. "We have some meat in our backpack. Do you want some, dog?"
+
+The dog barked again and nodded its head. Lila and Tom took out a sandwich and broke it in half. They gave one half to the dog and ate the other half themselves. The dog ate the meat and licked its lips.
+
+"Thank you, kids. You are very nice," the dog said.
+
+Lila and Tom were surprised. They did not know the dog could talk.
+
+"You can talk?" Lila asked.
+
+"Yes, I can. But only to kind and adventurous kids like you," the dog said.
+
+"Wow, that is amazing. How do you do that?" Tom asked.
+
+"It is a secret. But I will tell you if you promise to be my friends," the dog said.
+
+Lila and Tom nodded and smiled. They liked the dog and wanted to be his friends.
+
+"OK, we promise. What is your secret?" Lila asked.
+
+The dog leaned closer and whispered in their ears.
+
+"My secret is... I am a magic dog."
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a swamp near their house. They want to explore it.
+
+"Look, Tim, there are frogs and bugs in the swamp!" Mia says.
+
+"Can we catch them?" Tim asks.
+
+"Maybe, but we have to be careful. The swamp is wet and muddy. We don't want to fall in," Mia says.
+
+They find a big stick and use it to poke the water. They see some bubbles and ripples. They hear some croaks and chirps.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Tim says.
+
+He sees a green frog on a lily pad. He tries to reach it with the stick. But he leans too far and slips. He falls into the swamp with a splash.
+
+"Tim, are you okay?" Mia shouts.
+
+She drops the stick and runs to him. She holds out her hand to help him. Tim grabs her hand and pulls himself out. He is wet and dirty. He has mud on his face and clothes. He is scared and cold.
+
+"Mia, thank you for holding my hand. You are a nice friend," Tim says.
+
+He hugs her. She hugs him back.
+
+"You're welcome, Tim. You are a nice friend, too. Let's go home and get clean and warm," Mia says.
+
+They walk back to their house. They leave the swamp behind. They are still friends. They are happy.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the garden. They saw many bugs and flowers there. One day, they found a fat spider on a web. The spider was black and hairy and had eight legs.
+
+"Look, Kim, a spider!" Tim said. "It is big and scary!"
+
+"Let's catch it, Tim!" Kim said. "We can put it in a jar and show mom and dad!"
+
+They ran to the shed and got a jar and a lid. They came back to the web and tried to catch the spider. But the spider was clever and fast. It saw them coming and ran away.
+
+"Where did it go, Kim?" Tim asked. "I can't see it!"
+
+"Maybe it can fly, Tim!" Kim said. "Maybe it has wings under its hair!"
+
+They looked up and saw the spider hanging from a thin thread. It was swinging in the air like a pendulum.
+
+"It can fly, Kim! It can fly!" Tim shouted. "Let's get it!"
+
+They jumped and reached for the spider. But they were too short and too slow. The spider flew higher and higher, until it was out of sight.
+
+"Bye-bye, spider!" Kim said. "You are too smart for us!"
+
+They went back to the shed and put the jar and the lid away. They decided to look for another bug to catch. Maybe a butterfly or a ladybug. They hoped they would not fly away too.
+Lily likes cereal. She likes to eat it with milk and a spoon. She has her own bowl and her own box of cereal. She does not like to share.
+
+One day, Lily sees a new cereal at the store. It has colorful shapes and a funny name. She asks her mom to buy it for her. Her mom says yes, but only if Lily shares with her brother Tom.
+
+Lily agrees, but she is not happy. She wants to own the new cereal. She thinks Tom will eat it all. She makes a plan.
+
+The next morning, Lily wakes up early. She sneaks into the kitchen and grabs the new cereal. She pours it into her bowl and adds milk. She does not use a spoon. She uses her hands. She eats fast and messy.

+
+Tom is sad and angry. He sees Lily's hands and face are wet and sticky. He has an idea. He turns on the faucet and splashes water at Lily. Lily screams and drops the bowl. The cereal and the milk spill on the floor. The new cereal is wet and ruined.
+
+Lily and Tom start to cry. Their mom comes to the kitchen and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Lily, Tom, what did you do? Why did you waste the new cereal? Why did you make a wet mess? You need to share and be nice."
+
+Lily and Tom feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We were bad. We will share and be nice." Their mom hugs them and says, "It is okay. I love you. But you need to clean up and eat something else for breakfast." Lily and Tom nod and help their mom. They learn their lesson. They do not fight over cereal anymore.

+
+Lily was very glad to see her mommy and her teddy bear. She said, "Thank you, mommy. I love you, too. Can you stay with me?" Her mommy said, "Of course, I can. I have a surprise for you. I made you some cookies. Do you want one?" Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, please. I like cookies."
+
+Her mommy gave her a cookie and tucked her in. She said, "Sweet dreams, Lily. I'll be right here." Lily ate her cookie and cuddled with her teddy bear. She felt happy and warm. She said, "Good night, mommy. Good night, teddy bear. Good night, dolls." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She did not have any more nightmares. She had a good night.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the garden. One day, they see a new path in the grass. It is pink and shiny.

+
+Ben picks up a cup. It is pink and has a straw. He sips the drink. It tastes sour and fizzy.
+
+"Yuck, this is bad!" he says.
+
+They hear a voice. It is coming from the tree.
+
+"Hello, children!" the voice says. "Do you like my tea party?"
+
+Lily and Ben look up. They see a big cat. It is pink and has a smile.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asks.
+
+"I am the Pink Cat," the cat says. "I made this path and this table for you. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They do not like the Pink Cat. They do not like his tea party.
+
+"No, thank you," Ben says. "We want to go home."
+
+They drop the cake and the cup. They run away from the table. They follow the path back to the garden.
+
+They see their mom. She is waiting for them.
+
+"Where have you been?" she asks.
+
+"We followed a pink path," Lily says. "We met a pink cat. He had a tea party. We did not like it."
+
+Their mom hugs them. She does not believe them.
+
+"You have a big imagination," she says. "But I am glad you are safe. Come on, let's go inside. I have some cookies and milk for you. They taste much better than pink cakes and drinks."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They love their mom. They love her cookies and milk. They do not want to see the pink path or the pink cat ever again.
+Sara loved to play with her mom's jewelry. She liked to examine the shiny stones and the pretty colors. Sometimes, she would sneak into her mom's room and try on the rings and the necklaces and the bracelets. She felt like a princess.
+
+One day, she found a new bracelet in her mom's drawer. It was very sparkly and had a big heart on it. Sara thought it was the most beautiful bracelet ever. She put it on her wrist and admired it in the mirror. She decided to wear it to school and show it to her friends.
+
+At school, Sara was very proud of her bracelet. She showed it to everyone and told them it was her mom's. She said her mom gave it to her as a gift. She did not tell them she took it without asking. She thought they would be jealous and want to touch it.
+
+But Sara did not know that the bracelet was very special. It was a gift from her dad to her mom for their anniversary. It had a secret button that made the heart open and play a song. Her dad had recorded a message for her mom, saying how much he loved her and missed her. He was away on a trip and could not be with her.
+
+During recess, Sara was playing with her friends when she accidentally pressed the button. The bracelet opened and the song started to play. Everyone heard the message and looked at Sara. They realized she had lied about the bracelet. They laughed at her and called her a thief. Sara felt very embarrassed. She wished she had never taken the bracelet. She wished her dad was here to hug her and make her feel better. She ran to the teacher and told her what she had done. She asked her to call her mom and say she was sorry. She hoped her mom would forgive her and still love her. She learned a hard lesson that day. She learned not to take things that were not hers and not to lie to her friends. She learned to be honest and respectful. She learned to love her mom and her dad more than any jewelry.

+
+But her brother Tom saw her. He wanted to play with her. He said, "Anna, come and play with me. Let's play with the cars and the blocks. It's more fun than drawing."
+
+Anna said, "No, Tom. I want to draw a picture for mom. It's a surprise. Go away and play by yourself."
+
+Tom did not listen. He was persistent. He grabbed the paper and the crayon from Anna. He said, "No, I want to draw too. Give me the paper and the crayon. It's mine."
+
+Anna was angry. She tried to get the paper and the crayon back. She said, "No, Tom. It's mine. You are mean. Give it back to me."
+
+They pulled and pushed. The paper tore. The crayon broke. They both cried.
+
+Mom heard them. She came and saw the mess. She said, "What happened? Why are you crying? Why did you tear the paper and break the crayon?"
+
+Anna and Tom told her what happened. Mom was sad. She said, "You should not fight over the paper and the crayon. You should share and take turns. You should be nice to each other. You should say sorry to each other."
+
+Anna and Tom felt sorry. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up. Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. I love you both. You know what? I have more papers and crayons. Why don't you draw a picture together for me? I would love that."
+
+Anna and Tom agreed. They found a new paper and a new crayon. They drew a picture together for mom. They wrote "We love you" inside a big heart. They gave it to mom. Mom was very happy.

+Lily and Ben were playing with scissors and paper. They liked to cut shapes and make things. Lily cut a star, a heart and a flower. Ben cut a circle, a square and a triangle. They were happy and proud of their work.
+
+But then Ben saw Lily's flower. He wanted it for himself. He said, "Give me your flower. It is better than my triangle." Lily said, "No, it is mine. I cut it. You have your own things." Ben got angry and grabbed the flower. Lily pulled it back. They fought over the flower.
+
+The scissors were still in Ben's hand. He did not see them. He moved them too fast and too hard. He cut Lily's finger. Lily screamed and cried. Blood came out of her finger. It hurt a lot. Ben dropped the flower and the scissors. He was scared and sorry.
+
+Mama heard the scream and came running. She saw Lily's finger and Ben's face. She said, "What happened? Who did this?" Lily pointed at Ben and said, "He cut me. He wanted my flower." Mama said, "Oh no. That is very bad. You should not cut people. You should not take things that are not yours. You should be ashamed of yourself."
+
+Mama took Lily to the bathroom. She washed her finger and put a bandage on it. She hugged her and said, "You are brave. You will be okay. I love you." Lily said, "I love you too, Mama. Thank you." Mama said, "You're welcome, my sweet."
+
+Mama left Lily in the bathroom and went to Ben. He was still in the room. He was sitting on the floor. He was crying and shaking. He said, "I'm sorry, Mama. I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to cut her. I was stupid and mean. I hate myself." Mama said, "You made a big mistake. You hurt your sister. You hurt yourself. You need to say sorry to her. You need to learn from this. You need to be kind and careful." Ben said, "I know, Mama. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Mama said, "I'm sorry too, Ben. I'm sorry you feel this way. I love you. But you have to face the consequences. You have to go to your room. You have to stay there until dinner. You have to think about what you did." Ben said, "Okay, Mama. I understand. I deserve it." Mama said, "Come on, let's go." She took him by the hand and led him to his room. She closed the door behind them. Ben was alone. He felt ashamed. He wished he could go back in time and change everything. But he could not. He had to live with his mistake. He had to hope that Lily would forgive him. He had to hope that Mama would forgive him. He had to hope that he would forgive himself. He did not know how. He did not know when. He did not know if. He was very sad. The end.

+Anna says, "He tripped on a stone. He is brave, but he is sad."
+
+Ben's mom says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Let me clean your knee and put a band-aid on it. Then we can go home and have some ice cream. How does that sound?"
+
+Ben says, "That sounds good, mom. Can Anna come, too?"
+
+Ben's mom says, "Of course, Anna can come. She is a good friend. She helped you a lot."

+Lily and Tom did not like to delay. They wanted to go to the park now. They made sad faces and crossed their arms.
+
+"Please, Mom, hurry up!" Lily said.
+
+"It will only take a minute, I promise," Mom said. She smiled and went to the car.
+
+Lily and Tom waited by the door. They looked at the sky. It was blue and sunny. They looked at the flowers. They were yellow and purple. They looked at the car. It was red and shiny.
+
+Then they saw Mom coming back from the car. She had something in her hands. It was big and wrapped in paper.

+
+They looked at the butterfly. It was pretty. It had many colors. It moved its wings. It looked sad.
+
+"Lily, I think the butterfly is sad," Max said.
+
+"Why, Max?" Lily said.
+
+"Because it wants to fly, Lily. It wants to be free," Max said.
+
+"Free?" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, free. Like us. We can run and play. The butterfly can't. It is in the net," Max said.
+
+Lily thought. She felt sorry for the butterfly. She did not want it to be sad.
+
+"Max, I have an idea," Lily said.
+
+"What, Lily?" Max said.
+
+"Let's release the butterfly, Max. Let's let it go," Lily said.
+
+"Release?" Max said.

+
+"A gift, butterfly?" Lily and Max said.
+
+"Yes, a gift. A wish. You can wish for anything you want, Lily and Max. I will make it come true," the butterfly said.
+
+Lily and Max were surprised. They did not know what to wish for. They looked at each other. They smiled. They had the same idea.
+
+"Butterfly, we have a wish," Lily and Max said.
+
+"What is your wish, Lily and Max?" the butterfly asked.
+
+"Our wish is to fly with you, butterfly. We want to fly with you and the other butterflies. We want to see the park from the sky. We want to have fun with you, butterfly," Lily and Max said.
+
+The butterfly was happy. She liked their wish. She nodded.

+
+"Wow, look at all these books!" Ben said.
+
+"They have pictures and words. Maybe we can read them," Lily said.

+
+"Come on, Sam, it's just a toy. Molly can wait for a minute," Tom said.

+Sam heard the crash and ran to Tom. He hugged him and asked him if he was okay. He was glad that Tom was alive, but he was also angry and sad.

+
+Tom realized that Sam was right. He felt sorry and ashamed. He wished he had listened to Sam and helped Molly. He wished he had not taken the toy car. He wished he could say sorry to the truck driver and the owner of the toy car.
+
+He looked at Sam and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was wrong. I should have helped you and Molly. I should have left the toy car alone. I learned my lesson. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Sam smiled and said, "Of course I can, Tom. You are my brother, and I love you. But you have to promise me that you will be more careful and responsible next time. And you have to apologize to Molly and the truck driver and the owner of the toy car."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I promise, Sam. I will do that. And I will be more grateful for what I have, and not want what I don't have."
+

He found a new wheel that matched the car and used some glue to attach it. He tested the car and saw that it could move again. He gave the car back to Tom and said it was good as new.
+
+Tom was happy and thanked the mechanic. He hugged his car and played with it on the floor. He made it zoom and crash, but not too hard. He did not want to break it again. Mom was happy too and paid the mechanic. She said they should go home and have some cookies. Tom agreed and got in the car. He waved goodbye to the mechanic and said he was a nice man. He liked the mechanic. He liked his car. He liked his mom. He was happy.
+Lily liked to walk her dog Spot every day. Spot was a big and friendly dog, but he was not very modest. He liked to bark at other dogs and chase cats and birds. Lily had to hold his leash very tight, or he would run away.
+
+One day, Lily and Spot met a new dog in the park. The dog was small and brown, and he wore a red collar. Spot barked at him and tried to pull his leash. Lily said, "No, Spot, be nice!" But Spot did not listen. He wanted to play with the new dog, or maybe bite him.
+
+The new dog was scared of Spot. He ran behind his owner, a man with a hat and a beard. The man said, "Hey, control your dog, lady!" Lily felt bad. She was not a lady, she was a girl. And she tried to control Spot, but he was too strong.
+
+Then, Lily recognized the man. He was her uncle Tom, who lived far away. She had not seen him for a long time. She said, "Uncle Tom, is that you?" The man looked at her and smiled. He said, "Lily, is that you? What a surprise!"
+
+Lily and Uncle Tom hugged each other. They were happy to see each other. Spot and the new dog sniffed each other. They were not so scared anymore. They wagged their tails and licked each other. They became friends.
+
+Lily and Uncle Tom decided to walk together and talk. They put Spot and the new dog on the same leash. The dogs walked side by side, and did not bark or chase anything. They were very modest. Lily was proud of Spot. She said, "Good boy, Spot!" Spot looked at her and smiled. He was a good boy.
+Lily was a naughty girl who did not like to wash. She hated soap and water and always ran away when her mom tried to make her clean. She liked to play in the mud and dirt and make a mess.
+
+One day, Lily saw an elderly lady walking on the street. She had a big bag of groceries and a nice hat. Lily thought it would be fun to slap the lady and take her hat. She ran up to the lady and slapped her hard on the face. The lady screamed and dropped her bag. Lily grabbed the hat and ran away.
+
+But Lily did not know that the lady was her mom's friend. The lady knew where Lily lived and followed her. She knocked on the door and told Lily's mom what happened. Lily's mom was very angry and ashamed. She took the hat from Lily and gave it back to the lady. She said sorry and thanked her for being kind.
+
+Then she dragged Lily to the bathroom and made her wash with soap and water. She scrubbed her hard and made her cry. She said Lily was a bad girl and had to learn to be nice and respectful. She said she would not let her play or have any treats for a week. Lily was very sorry and wished she had not slapped the lady. She learned her lesson and never did it again.

+Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to look at the clouds and make shapes with them. Tim saw a cloud that looked like a dog. He pointed and said, "Look, Mia, a dog!"
+
+Mia looked and said, "No, Tim, that's not a dog. That's a cat!"
+
+Tim felt embarrassed. He did not like to be wrong. He said, "No, Mia, you are wrong. That's a dog. See, it has ears and a tail!"
+
+Mia said, "No, Tim, you are silly. That's a cat. See, it has whiskers and a nose!"
+
+They started to argue. They did not notice that the cloud was changing. It was getting bigger and darker. It was not a dog or a cat. It was a storm cloud.
+
+Suddenly, a loud thunder boomed. Tim and Mia jumped. They were scared. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it's just a thunder. It's not a dog or a cat. It's a cloud. Sometimes clouds are different. Sometimes they are white and fluffy. Sometimes they are gray and angry. But they are always just clouds."
+
+Tim and Mia felt better. They said, "Sorry, mom. We were fighting over the cloud. We thought it was a dog or a cat."
+
+Mom said, "That's okay. It's good to use your imagination. But it's also good to listen to each other. Sometimes you can see different things in the same cloud. And that's okay, too. Because everyone is different. And that's what makes us special."
+Anna loved to play her violin. She played it every day after school. She played songs that made her happy, sad, or excited. She played for her family, her friends, and her cat. She wanted to be a great violinist when she grew up.
+
+But Anna did not like to nap. She thought naps were boring and a waste of time. She wanted to play more violin, or read books, or draw pictures. She did not listen to her mom, who told her that naps were good for her. She said that naps helped her grow, learn, and rest.
+
+One day, Anna had a big recital at school. She was going to play her violin in front of everyone. She was very nervous and excited. She practiced a lot the night before, and did not nap at all. She thought she would be fine.
+
+But she was not fine. She was very tired and sleepy. She could not focus on her music. She made many mistakes. She felt uncomfortable and sad. She wished she had napped. She saw her mom in the audience, who looked worried and sad too.
+
+After the recital, Anna ran to her mom and hugged her. She said she was sorry for not napping. She said she learned her lesson. She said she would nap from now on. Her mom smiled and kissed her.

+
+One day, she saw a new thing in the yard. It was long and thin and shiny, and it moved by itself. Lily was curious and wanted to play with it. She ran towards it and tried to catch it with her paws.
+
+But the new thing was not a toy. It was a snake, and it did not like Lily. It hissed and bit Lily on her tail. Lily felt a sharp pain and let out a loud meow. She ran away from the snake and hid under the porch.
+
+Lily's tail hurt a lot, and she was scared and sad. She did not want to play with her ball anymore. She just wanted her mom to come and make her feel better.
+
+Her mom heard her meow and came to find her. She saw the snake and chased it away. Then she saw Lily's tail and licked it gently. She told Lily that she was brave and that she loved her. She carried Lily inside the house and gave her some milk and a soft bed.

+
+The teacher gives them some math problems. Anna does them very quickly. She raises her hand and says, "I am done! I know all the answers!" The teacher smiles and says, "Good job, Anna. You are very smart. But can you help your friend Ben? He is still working on his math problems."
+
+Anna looks at Ben. He is frowning and scratching his head. He does not know the answers. Anna feels sorry for him. She remembers that Ben helped her when she did not know how to tie her shoes.

+
+Anna and Ben work together on the math problems. Anna explains how to count and add and take away things. Ben listens and tries to do it. He starts to understand and enjoy math. He says, "Wow, Anna. You are very good at math. You make math easy and fun. I am glad you are my friend."

+Tim and his mom went to the big shop. Tim saw many cars in the shop. He liked the red car. It was shiny and fast. He wanted to play with it.
+
+"Mom, can I have the red car?" Tim asked.
+
+"No, Tim, we are here to buy food, not toys. The red car is too expensive and we have many cars at home." Mom said.
+
+Tim was sad. He did not have many cars at home. He only had one blue car. But it was old and broken. It did not make any sound or move. It was a lonely car.
+
+Tim had an idea. He ran to the red car when mom was not looking. He climbed inside and closed the door. He pretended to drive the red car. He made vroom-vroom noises and turned the wheel. He was happy.
+
+But mom saw him. She was angry. She opened the door and pulled him out.
+
+"Tim, what are you doing? You cannot go inside the cars in the shop. They are not for you. They are for other people. You are a naughty boy." Mom said.
+
+Tim was sorry. He did not want to make mom angry. He did not want to be a naughty boy. He wanted to be a good boy.
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry. I just wanted to play with the red car. It was shiny and fast. I wanted to become a driver." Tim said.
+
+Mom hugged him. She was not angry anymore. She was sorry too. She knew Tim liked cars. She wanted to make him happy.
+
+"Tim, I understand. You like cars. But you cannot take things that are not yours. You have to ask first. And you have to be careful. The cars in the shop are not toys. They are real cars. They can be dangerous. You could get hurt." Mom said.
+
+Tim nodded. He understood. He did not want to get hurt. He did not want to hurt the red car. He wanted to be careful.
+
+"Mom, can we go home now? I want to play with my blue car. It is old and broken. But it is my car. It is not lonely. It has me." Tim said.
+
+Mom smiled. She was proud of Tim. He was a good boy. He learned a lesson. He loved his car.
+

+
+Tim was happy. He held mom's hand. He said goodbye to the red car. He went home with mom. He played with his blue car. He was not lonely. He had mom. He had his car. He had a dream.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play soccer together. They wanted to win a trophy. They practiced every day.

+One day, they had a big game. They played hard and scored many goals. They were happy and proud. They won the trophy. It was shiny and gold. They lifted it high and cheered.
+
+"Look at our trophy! It is so shiny!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is! We are the best!" Ben said.
+
+They saw a boy watching them. He looked sad and angry. He had no trophy. He had no friends. He was rich, but he was not happy.
+
+He walked up to them and said, "Give me your trophy. It is mine. I have more money than you. I can buy anything I want."
+
+Lily and Ben were shocked. They did not like the boy. He was mean and rude. They did not want to give him their trophy. They worked hard for it. They loved it.
+
+They said, "No, you cannot have our trophy. It is ours. We earned it. You did not play. You did not win. You cannot buy everything. Money is not everything. You need friends and fun."
+
+The boy was angry. He tried to grab the trophy. Lily and Ben held it tight. They did not let go. They ran away from the boy. They found their coach and their parents. They showed them their trophy. They were happy and proud. They did not care about the boy. They had each other. They had their trophy. They had their shine.
+Ben likes to play with his cap. It is red and has a star on it. He puts it on his head and runs around the yard. He feels happy and fast.
+
+One day, he sees a big bird in the sky. It is black and has a long neck. Ben thinks it is a dinosaur. He wants to see it better. He takes off his cap and holds it in his hand. He waves it at the bird.
+
+The bird sees the cap. It thinks it is a snack. It flies down and grabs the cap with its beak. Ben is scared and sad. He shouts at the bird. "Give me back my cap!"
+
+The bird does not listen. It flies away with the cap. Ben cries and runs to his mom. She hugs him and says, "Don't worry, Ben. We can get you a new cap. Maybe a light blue one with a moon on it. Would you like that?"
+
+Ben nods and smiles. He still misses his red cap, but he likes the idea of a light blue one. He thinks it will look good with his eyes. He says, "Thank you, mom. I love you." He holds her hand and they go inside.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play by the river. They had a big raft that their dad made for them. They used sticks to push the raft on the water and pretended they were pirates.
+
+One day, they saw a big duck swimming near their raft. The duck was yellow and cheerful. It quacked at them and followed them around.
+
+"Hello, duck!" Anna said. "Do you want to be our friend?"
+
+"Yes, yes!" the duck said. "I like your raft. Can I come on?"
+
+"Sure!" Ben said. "But you have to share our snacks. We have apples and cheese."
+
+The duck nodded and climbed on the raft. Anna and Ben gave him some food and they all ate happily. They sang songs and told jokes and had fun.
+
+But then, the duck saw something shiny in the water. It was a fish with scales that sparkled like stars.
+
+"Wow!" the duck said. "I want that fish. It looks yummy and pretty."
+
+He jumped off the raft and chased the fish. He forgot about Anna and Ben and their raft.
+
+Anna and Ben were sad. They liked the duck and wanted him to stay.
+
+"Come back, duck!" Anna called. "Don't leave us!"
+
+"Please, duck!" Ben said. "We miss you!"
+
+But the duck did not hear them. He was too busy trying to catch the fish. He swam away and did not look back.
+
+Anna and Ben sighed. They decided to go home. They pushed their raft to the shore and carried it to their dad.
+
+"Did you have fun?" their dad asked.
+
+"Yes, but we are sad," Anna said.
+
+"Why?" their dad asked.
+
+"Because we made a new friend, but he left us," Ben said.
+
+"Who was your friend?" their dad asked.
+
+"A cheerful duck," Anna said.
+
+"A cheerful duck?" their dad said. "That sounds nice. Maybe he will come back another day."
+
+"Maybe," Anna said.
+
+"Maybe," Ben said.
+
+They hoped the duck would remember them and their raft. They hoped he would be their friend again.
+Lila and Tom were twins who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a picture of a factory on it. They opened the box and saw many pieces of metal and plastic.
+
+"What is this?" Lila asked.
+
+"I think it is a factory to make cars," Tom said. "Let's try to build it."
+
+They took out the pieces and tried to fit them together. They followed the instructions on the box. They used a screwdriver and a hammer. They worked hard for a long time. Finally, they finished the factory. It had a conveyor belt, a press, a paint machine, and a horn.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" Lila said. "Let's make some cars."
+
+They put some metal and plastic on the conveyor belt. They turned on the switch. The factory started to work. It made a car out of the pieces. It pressed them, painted them, and honked them. The car rolled out of the factory.
+
+"Look, we made a car!" Tom said. "It is red and shiny. Let's make another one."
+
+They put more pieces on the conveyor belt. The factory made another car. It was blue and shiny. They made more and more cars. They had fun watching the factory work.
+
+But soon, they ran out of pieces. They had no more metal and plastic to make cars.
+
+"Oh no, what do we do now?" Lila said. "We have no more pieces."
+
+"Maybe we can use the cars we made," Tom said. "We can put them back on the conveyor belt and make them into pieces again."
+
+They tried to do that. They put a car on the conveyor belt. But the factory did not work. It did not make the car into pieces. It made the car go faster and faster. It pushed the car off the conveyor belt. The car crashed into the wall.
+
+"Oops, that was not a good idea," Tom said. "The factory does not reverse. It only makes cars. It does not unmake them."
+
+They tried to stop the factory. They turned off the switch. But the factory did not stop. It kept making cars. It made more and more cars. The cars filled the garage. They bumped into each other. They made loud noises.
+
+"Help, help!" Lila and Tom shouted. "The factory is out of control. It is making too many cars. We need to stop it."
+
+They ran out of the garage. They looked for their mom and dad. They found them in the kitchen. They told them what happened.
+
+"Mom, dad, we need your help," Lila said. "We built a factory to make cars. But it does not reverse. It does not stop. It is making too many cars. The garage is full of cars. They are crashing and honking. Please help us."
+
+Mom and dad looked surprised. They did not believe them. They thought they were joking.
+
+"A factory to make cars?" mom said. "That sounds like a silly story. How can you make a factory out of a box?"
+
+"It is true, it is true," Tom said. "Come and see. The factory is in the garage. It is very big and noisy. It is not helpful. It is dangerous. Please help us."
+
+Mom and dad followed them to the garage. They saw the factory. They saw the cars. They heard the noise. They were shocked. They did not know what to do.
+
+"How did you do this?" dad asked. "Where did you get this factory? How do you stop it?"
+
+"We followed the instructions on the box," Lila said. "We used the screwdriver and the hammer. We turned on the switch. But we don't know how to stop it. The switch does not work. The factory does not reverse. It only makes cars."
+
+Mom and dad looked at the box. They saw the picture of the factory. They saw the words on the box. They read them out loud.
+
+"Easy Build Car Factory. Fun and educational. For ages 10 and up. Warning: Do not reverse. Do not overload. Do not leave unattended. Call customer service for assistance."
+
+Mom and dad realized they had made a mistake. They had bought the wrong toy for their twins. They had bought a toy for older kids. They had not read the warning. They had left the box in the garage. They had not watched their twins.
+
+They felt sorry. They felt guilty. They felt scared.
+
+They called customer service. They asked for help. They waited for someone to come and fix the problem.
+
+They hugged their twins. They said they were sorry. They said they loved them. They said they were proud of
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Who can go on the slide first?" Tom asks.
+
+"Me!" Lily says.
+
+"No, me!" Tom says.
+
+They both run to the slide. But the slide is too high for them. They cannot climb up.
+
+"Let's crawl up!" Lily says. She starts to crawl on the grass. Tom follows her.

+
+One day, Lily and Ben receive a big box from their aunt. They are very happy and curious. They want to open the box and see what is inside. But their moms say they have to wait until after yoga.
+
+Lily and Ben are impatient. They do not want to wait. They want to open the box now. They ask their moms again and again.
+
+"Please, can we open the box now?" Lily says.
+

+"But we already know how to do yoga. We do it every week. We want to see the surprise," Ben says.
+
+"Sorry, Ben. You have to be patient. The box will not go away. We will open it together after yoga," his mom says.

+
+Finally, yoga is over. Lily and Ben are very excited. They run to the box and rip off the paper. They open the box and see what is inside.
+
+It is a yoga kit for kids. There are two yoga mats, two yoga blocks, two yoga straps, and a book with pictures of yoga poses. Lily and Ben are amazed. They smile and hug their aunt.
+
+"Thank you, auntie. This is the best gift ever. We love yoga," they say.
+
+"You are welcome, Lily and Ben. I am glad you like it. I hope you have fun and learn new things with it," their aunt says.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They forget about being impatient. They want to try the yoga kit right away. They ask their moms and their aunt to join them. They make shapes and breathe slowly. They have fun and feel good. They are proud of their yoga skills. They are grateful for their gift.
+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys, but sometimes they fought. One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It had a label that said "Do not open". Tim and Sam were curious. They wanted to know what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it and see," Tim said.
+
+"No, we can't. Mom and Dad will punish us," Sam said.
+
+"Come on, it will be fun. Maybe it's a new toy for us," Tim said.
+
+He pulled the tape and opened the box. Inside, there were many colorful balls. They looked soft and shiny. Tim and Sam smiled. They took out some balls and started to throw them at each other.

+
+"Ow, stop it! That hurts!" Sam said.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was Mom and Dad. They came into the living room and saw the mess. They looked angry.
+
+"Tim and Sam, what have you done?" Mom said.
+
+"We were just playing," Tim said.
+
+"You opened the box without permission. That was very naughty. Do you know what was in the box?" Dad said.
+
+"No, what was it?" Sam said.
+
+"It was a gift for your cousin. She has a birthday tomorrow. These balls are very original. They are made of wool and have a special scent. They are supposed to calm her down and make her happy. But now, they are all dirty and smelly. You ruined the gift," Mom said.
+
+Tim and Sam felt bad. They did not know the balls were a gift. They did not mean to ruin them.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom and Dad. We didn't know," Tim said.
+
+"Sorry is not enough. You have to learn to respect other people's things. You have to punish yourselves. You have to put all the balls back in the box and clean the living room. And you have to apologize to your cousin and give her something else," Dad said.
+
+Tim and Sam nodded. They did as they were told. They put the balls back in the box and cleaned the living room. They also found some of their own toys that they liked and wrapped them for their cousin. They hoped she would like them.
+
+The next day, they went to their cousin's birthday party. They gave her their toys and said they were sorry. Their cousin smiled and hugged them. She said she liked their toys and thanked them. She also gave them each a ball from the box. She said they were special and she wanted to share them.
+
+Tim and Sam felt happy. They thanked their cousin and smelled the balls. They smelled nice. They felt soft and warm. They also felt something else. They felt a tickle on their skin. They looked at the balls and saw tiny hairs sticking out. They realized the balls were made of wool from a sheep. They were allergic to wool. They started to itch all over.
+
+"Mom, Dad, help! We itch!" Tim and Sam said.
+
+Mom and Dad looked at them and saw red spots on their faces and arms. They realized what happened. They took the balls away and gave them some cream. They said they were sorry and they would take them to the doctor.
+
+Tim and Sam felt sorry too. They learned their lesson. They decided to never open a box without permission again. They also decided to never play with wool again. They scratched their itch and hoped it would go away soon.
+Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play together in the park. They liked to share their toys and snacks. They also liked to pretend they were married. They wore rings made of flowers and said "I do" to each other.
+
+One day, a new girl came to the park. Her name was Lily. She had a green dress and a green hat. She looked very original. Sara and Tom wanted to play with her. But Lily did not want to share. She said she had the best toys and snacks. She also said she wanted to marry Tom. She took his flower ring and put it on her finger. She said "I do" to him.
+
+Sara was very sad and angry. She felt like Lily stole her friend and her ring. She wanted to get them back. She tried to pull the ring from Lily's finger. Lily screamed and pushed her. Tom did not like the fight. He did not like Lily's mean words. He did not want to marry her. He took the ring from Lily and gave it back to Sara. He said "I do" to her again.
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She felt like Tom and Sara did not like her. She wanted to have friends and play. She realized she was wrong to be selfish and rude. She said sorry to Tom and Sara. She asked if she could share and play with them. Tom and Sara forgave her. They said yes. They all played together in the park. They learned to be kind and original.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. They had many toys, but Lily's favorite was a doll with long black hair. She liked to brush the doll's hair and make it look pretty.
+
+One day, Tom came to Lily's house to play. He saw the doll and wanted to play with it too. He asked Lily, "Can I have the doll for a while?"
+
+Lily said, "No, this is my doll. You can play with something else."
+
+Tom felt angry and said, "That's not fair. You have to share your toys with me. Give me the doll now!"
+
+Lily said, "No, go away. You are not nice to me."
+
+Tom grabbed the doll from Lily and ran away. Lily chased him and shouted, "Give it back, give it back!"
+
+Tom ran to the door and tried to open it, but it was shut. He banged on the door and said, "Let me out, let me out!"
+
+Lily caught up with him and said, "Give me my doll, give me my doll!"
+
+They both pulled the doll and it ripped. The black hair fell off and the doll's head came off. They both looked at the doll and felt sad. They had broken the doll and hurt each other.
+
+They said, "We are sorry, we are sorry."
+
+They hugged and said, "We are friends, we are friends."
+
+They learned that they should not fight over toys and that they should share and be kind to each other. They fixed the doll and played with it together. They had fun and were happy.
+Lily wanted to play with her blue ball. She loved her blue ball very much. It was big and round and bounced high. She took her blue ball to the park with her mother.
+
+At the park, she saw a boy. He was sad. He had no ball to play with. He looked at Lily's blue ball with big eyes.
+
+"Can I play with your ball?" he asked Lily.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She liked her blue ball, but she also wanted to be kind. She remembered that her mother always told her to share and lend her things to others.
+
+"OK, you can play with my ball," she said to the boy. "But you have to give it back to me later."
+
+The boy smiled. He thanked Lily and took her blue ball. He threw it in the air and caught it. He kicked it and rolled it. He had fun with Lily's blue ball.
+
+Lily watched him play. She felt happy that she made him happy. She also played with other things in the park. She slid on the slide and swung on the swing. She had fun too.
+
+After a while, the boy came back to Lily. He gave her back her blue ball.
+
+"Thank you for lending me your ball," he said to Lily. "You are very nice."
+
+Lily smiled. She took her blue ball and hugged it. She was glad to have it back.
+
+"You are welcome," she said to the boy. "Maybe we can play together again sometime."
+
+The boy nodded. He waved goodbye to Lily and left. Lily waved back. She went to her mother and showed her her blue ball.
+
+"Look, Mommy, I still have my blue ball," she said.
+
+"I see, Lily, I'm proud of you," her mother said. "You were very generous and friendly today. You lent your ball to a boy who had none. That was very kind of you."
+
+Lily beamed. She felt good. She loved her blue ball and her mother. She had a good day at the park.
+Lisa loves to help her mom in the kitchen. She likes to stir, pour and taste the food. Today, mom is making a special dish for dad. It is his birthday and he likes cheese and ham.
+
+Mom gives Lisa a big knife and a small dish. She says, "Lisa, can you spread some butter on the bread? Then put some cheese and ham on top. This is called a sandwich. It is dad's favorite dish." Lisa nods and smiles. She likes to make sandwiches. She spreads the butter carefully on the bread. She puts some cheese and ham on top. She makes four sandwiches and puts them on a big dish.
+
+Mom says, "Good job, Lisa! You are a great helper. Now, let's put the dish in the oven. The oven will make the cheese melt and the bread crispy. Then, we will surprise dad with his amazing dish." Lisa helps mom put the dish in the oven. She sets the timer for ten minutes. She can't wait to see dad's face when he sees his amazing dish.
+
+When the timer rings, mom and Lisa take the dish out of the oven. It smells good and looks yummy. They put some candles on the dish and turn off the lights. They wait for dad to come home. When they hear the door open, they sing, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear dad, happy birthday to you!" They bring the dish to dad and say, "Surprise! We made you an amazing dish. It is cheese and ham sandwiches. We hope you like it."
+
+Dad is very happy and surprised. He hugs mom and Lisa and says, "Thank you so much. This is the best birthday ever. You are the best family ever. I love cheese and ham sandwiches. They are my favorite dish. You are amazing." He blows out the candles and shares the sandwiches with mom and Lisa. They all enjoy the amazing dish and have a wonderful time.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they also liked to explore. They saw a big gate that was closed. They wanted to see what was behind it.
+
+"Let's open the gate and find a new way to play!" said Sam.
+
+"No, we can't. The gate is locked. And the sign says 'Keep Out'. It is not for us," said Mia.
+
+Sam did not listen. He tried to push the gate. He tried to pull the gate. He tried to climb the gate. But he could not open it. He was grumpy.
+
+"Mia, help me open the gate. It is not fair. I want to see what is behind it," he said.
+
+Mia shook her head. She did not want to get in trouble. She saw a man walking towards them. He was wearing a hat and a badge. He was the park keeper.
+
+"Hey, you two. What are you doing? You are not supposed to touch the gate. It is dangerous. There are big dogs behind it. They are not friendly. They will bite you," he said.
+
+Sam and Mia were scared. They did not like big dogs. They did not like the park keeper. He was grumpy too.
+
+"Sorry, sir. We were just curious. We will not touch the gate again. We will go back to the slide and the swing and the run," they said.
+
+The park keeper nodded. He unlocked the gate and went inside. He closed the gate behind him. Sam and Mia ran away. They did not want to open the gate anymore. They learned their lesson. They were happy to play in the park. They were not grumpy anymore.
+Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look at the stars. One night, they saw a big, bright star in the sky. They wondered what it was.
+
+"Maybe it is a wish star," Mia said. "Maybe we can make a wish and it will come true."
+
+"What would you wish for?" Tom asked.
+
+"I would wish for a new bike," Mia said. "My old one is broken and I can't ride it anymore. What about you?"
+
+"I would wish for a new book," Tom said. "I love to read stories and learn new things. But I have read all my books many times."
+
+They closed their eyes and made their wishes. Then they opened them and smiled at each other.
+
+"Thank you, wish star," they said together. "Thank you, universe, for giving us this chance."
+
+The next day, Tom and Mia went to the park again. They saw a big surprise. There was a new bike and a new book waiting for them. They had a tag that said: "To Tom and Mia, from the wish star. Enjoy your gifts and share them with each other. You are good friends and you deserve them."
+
+Tom and Mia were so happy. They hugged each other and thanked the wish star again. They tried the new bike and the new book. They had a lot of fun and learned new things. They also shared their gifts with each other. Tom let Mia ride his bike and Mia let Tom read her book. They were very generous and kind.
+
+They realized that the wish star had given them more than they asked for. It had given them a lesson. The lesson was: be grateful for what you have, be generous with what you get, and be happy with your friends. That is the best way to live in this big, deep, and wonderful universe.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big hedge with a hole in it. The hedge was brown and green and had many leaves.
+
+"Let's go through the hole and see what is on the other side," said Tom.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The hedge might be prickly," said Mia.
+
+They crawled through the hole and found a big pond with ducks and fish. They were very happy and wanted to feed the ducks. They looked for some bread, but they did not have any.
+
+"Look, there is a house over there. Maybe they have some bread," said Mia.
+
+"Let's go and ask them," said Tom.
+
+They ran to the house and knocked on the door. A man opened the door and looked very angry. He saw the hole in his hedge and the children's dirty clothes.
+
+"What are you doing here? You broke my hedge! Go away!" he shouted.
+
+He grabbed a stick and chased them away. Tom and Mia were very scared and ran back to the hole. But the hole was too small and they got stuck. The man came closer and closer with his stick. He was going to hit them.
+
+Tom and Mia cried and wished they had never gone through the hole. They were sorry they broke the hedge. They hoped someone would come and help them. But no one came. The end.
+Sara was sad. She did not have any friends to play with. She saw a big dog in the park. The dog was red and had a long tail. Sara liked the dog. She wanted to pet him.
+
+But Sara was scared. She did not know if the dog was nice or mean. She did not know if the dog would bite her or lick her. She hid behind a tree and watched the dog.
+
+The dog saw Sara. He wagged his tail and ran to her. He sniffed her and licked her face. He was friendly. Sara smiled. She put her thumb in her mouth. She felt safe.
+
+Sara petted the dog. She hugged him and gave him a name. She called him Rex. Rex liked Sara. He barked and jumped. He wanted to play with her.
+
+Sara and Rex played in the park. They ran and chased and rolled. They had fun. Sara was happy. She had a friend. She trusted Rex. Rex trusted Sara. They were best friends.
+Lily and her mom went to the big shop. Lily liked to look at the toys and the books. Mom liked to look at the clothes and the perfume. Lily saw a shiny bottle of perfume. She wanted to smell it.
+
+"Mom, can I smell this?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, but be careful. Don't spray too much," Mom said.
+
+Lily picked up the bottle and pressed the button. A lot of perfume came out. It smelled sweet and strong. Lily coughed and sneezed. She felt dizzy.
+
+"Mom, I don't like this. It makes me dizzy," Lily said.
+
+"Oh, no, Lily, you sprayed too much. Let's go outside and get some fresh air," Mom said.
+
+Mom took Lily's hand and they walked out of the big shop. Lily felt better when she breathed the fresh air. She saw a big tree with red flowers. She smiled.
+
+"Mom, can we smell the flowers? They are pretty," Lily said.
+
+"Of course, honey. They are roses. They smell nice and gentle," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Mom smelled the roses. They smelled nice and gentle. Lily felt happy. She hugged Mom.
+
+"I love you, Mom. You are the best perfume," Lily said.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. You are the sweetest flower," Mom said.
+
+They kissed and hugged. The end.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the yard. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. Lila had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They were having fun until Lila saw that her car had a broken wheel.
+
+"Oh no, my car is broken!" she cried. "Look, Ben, the wheel is not round anymore. It is bent and wobbly. How can I make it go fast now?"
+
+Ben looked at Lila's car and felt sorry for her. He liked his car, but he liked Lila more. He had an idea.
+
+"Here, Lila, you can have my car," he said. "It has four good wheels. You can make it go fast and loud. I don't mind."
+
+Lila smiled and hugged Ben. She was happy that he was so kind and generous. She took his car and gave him hers.
+
+"Thank you, Ben, you are a good friend," she said. "But I don't want you to have a broken car. Maybe we can fix it together. We can find some glue or tape and make the wheel round again."
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He was glad that Lila was happy and that she wanted to help him. He didn't care that his car was broken. He cared that Lila was his friend. He valued her more than his car. They went inside to look for glue or tape and to play some more.
+Sam and Mia liked to play with machines. They had cars, trains, robots and planes. They made noises and moved them around. Sometimes they had races to see who was faster.
+
+One day, they found a big machine in the garage. It was shiny and had buttons and wheels. Sam wanted to try it. He climbed inside and pushed a button. The machine started to make a loud noise and shake.
+
+"Sam, what are you doing?" Mia asked. She was scared. She did not like the big machine.
+
+"I'm driving the machine. It's fun. Do you want to join me?" Sam said. He was happy. He liked the big machine.
+
+"No, thank you. I want to get out of here. The machine is too loud and scary. And it might break something." Mia said. She looked for a way to escape. She saw a door and ran to it.
+
+But the door was locked. Mia could not open it. She banged on the door and shouted for help. She hoped someone would hear her.
+
+Sam did not hear her. He was too busy playing with the machine. He turned a wheel and the machine moved forward. He pushed another button and the machine moved faster. He wanted to win the race.
+
+The machine crashed into the wall. The wall broke and the machine went outside. Sam saw the sun and the trees and the road. He was surprised. He did not know the machine could do that.
+
+He also saw a car coming. The car was big and fast. It honked its horn and tried to stop. But it was too late. The machine and the car hit each other. There was a loud bang and a lot of smoke.
+
+Sam was scared. He wanted to escape. He looked for a way to get out of the machine. He saw a window and broke it. He crawled out of the machine and ran away.
+
+He ran back to the garage. He saw Mia and hugged her. He was sorry. He did not mean to make trouble.
+
+"Mia, I'm sorry. I was wrong. The machine was not fun. It was dangerous. Are you okay?" Sam said.
+
+"I'm okay, Sam. But you were silly. You should not play with machines you don't know. They can hurt you and others. And you should not be so competitive. It's not good to always want to win." Mia said.
+
+They heard sirens and saw lights. They saw people coming. They were angry and worried. They asked them questions and scolded them. They had to pay for the damage and the car.
+
+Sam and Mia learned their lesson. They never played with the big machine again. They played with their small machines instead. They still had races, but they were more careful and friendly. They had more fun that way.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their kayak. It is a big toy boat that they can sit in and paddle. They have a regular kayak, not a fancy one. It is red and yellow and has two seats.
+
+One day, they take their kayak to the lake with their mom and dad. They put on their life jackets and helmets and get ready to go in the water. Tom sits in the front seat and Mia sits in the back seat. Mom and dad push them into the lake and watch them from the shore.
+
+"Look, Mia, we are kayaking!" Tom says. He paddles hard and makes the kayak go fast. He likes to splash the water with his paddle.
+
+"Slow down, Tom, you are making me wet!" Mia says. She paddles too, but not as hard as Tom. She likes to look at the fish and the ducks in the lake.
+
+They kayak for a long time and have fun. They see other boats and people in the lake. They wave and say hello to them. They also see a big bridge that goes over the lake. They decide to go under the bridge and see what is there.
+
+When they get under the bridge, they see a dark tunnel. It is very narrow and low. They wonder what is inside the tunnel.
+
+"Let's go in, Mia, it looks cool!" Tom says. He is curious and brave.
+
+"I don't know, Tom, it looks scary!" Mia says. She is nervous and cautious.
+
+"Come on, Mia, don't be a baby!" Tom says. He paddles harder and makes the kayak go into the tunnel.
+
+"Wait, Tom, stop!" Mia says. She tries to paddle back, but it is too late. The kayak is already in the tunnel.
+
+They enter the tunnel and it is very dark. They can't see anything. They hear strange noises and feel cold air. They are scared.
+
+"Tom, I don't like this, let's go back!" Mia says. She starts to cry.
+
+"Okay, okay, Mia, don't cry, we'll go back!" Tom says. He feels sorry for Mia and for himself. He tries to turn the kayak around, but it is too big for the tunnel. It gets stuck.
+
+"Tom, we are stuck, what do we do?" Mia says. She cries louder.
+
+"I don't know, Mia, I don't know!" Tom says. He cries too.
+
+They are stuck in the tunnel and they don't know how to get out. They hug each other and hope that someone will find them.
+
+Meanwhile, mom and dad see that Tom and Mia have gone under the bridge and into the tunnel. They are worried. They run to the bridge and look for them. They can't see them. They call their names, but they can't hear them.
+
+"Tom! Mia! Where are you?" Mom says.
+
+"Tom! Mia! Come back!" Dad says.
+
+They are afraid that something bad has happened to Tom and Mia. They look for help. They see a man with a flashlight and a rope. He is a worker who is fixing the bridge. They tell him what happened and ask him to help.
+
+"Don't worry, I'll help you!" The man says. He is kind and brave. He ties the rope to his waist and gives the flashlight to mom. He tells her to hold the rope and the flashlight. He crawls into the tunnel and looks for Tom and Mia.
+
+He crawls for a long time and it is very dark. He hears the noises and feels the air. He is not scared. He keeps crawling until he sees the kayak. He sees Tom and Mia in the kayak. They are crying and hugging.
+
+"Tom! Mia! Are you okay?" The man says. He shines the flashlight on them.
+
+"Who are you?" Tom says. He sees the man and the flashlight.
+
+"I'm here to help you. I'm a worker. Your mom and dad are outside. They are looking for you." The man says. He smiles and talks softly.
+
+"Really? Can you get us out?" Mia says. She sees the man and the flashlight.
+
+"Yes, I can. But you have to do something for me. You have to crawl out of the kayak and follow me. Can you do that?" The man says. He unties the rope from his waist and ties it to the kayak.
+
+"Yes, we can. We want to go back to mom and dad." Tom says. He and Mia crawl out of the kayak and follow the man.
+
+"Good. Now, hold my hand and stay close to me. We'll crawl out of the tunnel together." The man says. He holds Tom's hand and Mia's hand and crawls back to the tunnel.
+
+They crawl for a long time and it is still dark. They still hear the noises
+Lila and Sam were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses. But sometimes they did not agree on how to play.
+
+"Let me have that blue block," Sam said. He reached for the block that Lila was holding.
+
+"No, it is mine," Lila said. She pulled the block away from Sam. "I need it for my tower."
+
+Sam frowned. He did not like when Lila was bossy. He wanted to share the blocks. He looked around and saw a red block on the floor.
+
+"Fine, I will take this red block," he said. He picked up the block and tried to put it on his bridge.
+
+But Lila did not permit him to do that. She ran over and grabbed the red block from Sam.
+
+"Hey, that is not fair!" Sam said. He was angry and sad. He did not want to play with Lila anymore.
+
+Lila did not care. She thought she knew how to play better than Sam. She took the red block and put it on her tower. She smiled and said, "Look, my tower is the best!"
+
+But then something bad happened. The red block was too heavy for the tower. The tower started to wobble and shake. Then it fell down with a loud crash. The blocks scattered all over the floor.
+
+Lila was shocked and scared. She did not like when her tower fell down. She looked at Sam and hoped he would help her.
+
+But Sam did not help her. He was still angry and sad. He did not want to play with Lila anymore. He said, "You are too bossy, Lila. You do not share the blocks. You do not let me play. You are not a good friend."
+
+He got up and walked away. He left Lila alone with the broken tower and the messy blocks.
+
+Lila felt sorry and sad. She realized she was wrong. She wished she was nicer to Sam. She wished she could say sorry and play with him again. She wished she had a friend.
+Tom is a painter. He likes to create pictures with colors. He has many brushes and paints. He can make flowers, animals, houses and more.
+
+One day, Tom wants to create a big picture on the wall. He asks his mom if he can do it. His mom says yes, but he has to be careful and not make a mess. Tom is happy. He gets his paints and brushes and starts to create.
+
+He paints a blue sky, a green grass, a yellow sun and a red barn. He paints a brown cow, a white sheep, a black dog and a pink pig. He paints himself and his mom smiling. He is proud of his picture.
+
+But then, he hears a loud noise. It is his dad coming home from work. His dad is a builder. He builds houses and bridges. He is tough and strong. He likes to see what Tom creates.
+
+He sees the picture on the wall and says, "Wow, Tom, this is amazing! You are a great painter. You create beautiful things. I am proud of you."
+
+Tom is happy. He hugs his dad and says, "Thank you, dad. You are tough and strong. You build great things. I am proud of you too."
+
+They all look at the picture and smile. They are a happy family.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with blocks and dolls. One day, they have a test at school. The test is about colors and shapes. Tom and Sue know all the colors and shapes. They are not afraid of the test.
+
+But Tim is afraid of the test. He does not know all the colors and shapes. He does not like to learn. He likes to make trouble. He sees Tom and Sue's blocks and dolls on their desks. He has a bad idea. He wants to remove them and hide them.
+
+When Tom and Sue go to the bathroom, Tim removes their blocks and dolls. He puts them in his backpack. He thinks he is very smart. He thinks Tom and Sue will cry when they see their things are gone. He thinks he will laugh at them.
+
+But Tom and Sue do not cry. They are sad, but they are also smart. They remember they have a test. They focus on the test. They answer all the questions. They do very well. They are grateful they studied hard.
+
+When the test is over, Tom and Sue look for their blocks and dolls. They do not see them on their desks. They ask the teacher. The teacher does not know. She asks the class. No one knows. Except Tim. Tim smiles. He thinks he is very clever.
+
+But he is not clever. He is very silly. He forgets he has to go home. He forgets his backpack has a hole. He forgets his mom will check his backpack. He leaves the school with his backpack. He does not see the blocks and dolls falling out of the hole. He does not hear the other kids finding them and returning them to Tom and Sue. He does not know Tom and Sue are happy again.
+
+He only knows he is in big trouble when he gets home. His mom sees his backpack. She sees the hole. She sees the blocks and dolls. She knows they are not his. She is very angry. She calls the teacher. She calls Tom and Sue's parents. She makes Tim apologize. She makes Tim return the blocks and dolls. She makes Tim do extra homework. She makes Tim go to bed early.
+
+Tim is very sorry. He is very ashamed. He is very sad. He wishes he did not remove the blocks and dolls. He wishes he did not make trouble. He wishes he did not have a bad idea. He wishes he was like Tom and Sue. He wishes he was smart and grateful. But he is not. He is very stupid. He has a bad ending.
+Lily and Ben were curious about the rain. They wanted to see how it felt and what it did. They put on their boots and coats and went outside.
+
+"Look, Lily, the rain makes puddles!" Ben said, jumping into a big one. "Splash, splash, splash!"
+
+"Can I try, Ben?" Lily asked, moving closer to the puddle.
+
+"Sure, Lily, but mind your coat. It might get wet and dirty," Ben said, making room for her.
+
+Lily jumped into the puddle with Ben. They laughed and splashed each other. The rain felt cold and tickly on their faces.
+
+They saw a worm crawling out of the ground. They bent down to look at it.
+
+"Hello, worm, do you like the rain?" Lily asked, gently touching it.
+
+The worm wiggled and wriggled. It did not answer.
+
+"Maybe it is shy, Lily," Ben said, watching the worm. "Or maybe it does not talk like us."
+
+They decided to leave the worm alone and look for more puddles. They ran and jumped and played in the rain. They were curious and happy.
+Lily and her mom were going to the store. Lily liked the store. She could see many things there. She could see toys, books, fruits, and candy. She wanted to walk fast and see everything.
+
+But today, Lily felt fearful. She saw a big dog outside the store. The dog was barking loud. It had sharp teeth and a long tail. Lily was afraid of the dog. She did not want to walk near it.
+
+"Mom, I don't want to go to the store," Lily said. "The dog is scary. It will bite me."
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, Lily. The dog is not scary. It is just saying hello. It will not bite you. It is on a leash. The owner is holding it. See, the owner is smiling. He is nice. He will not let the dog hurt you."
+
+Mom took Lily's hand and walked to the store. She said hello to the owner and the dog. The owner said, "This is Rex. He is a friendly dog. He likes children. Do you want to pet him?"
+
+Lily looked at the dog. The dog stopped barking. It wagged its tail. It licked its nose. It looked happy. Lily felt less fearful. She said, "OK, I will pet him. But only a little."
+
+Lily reached out her hand and touched the dog's fur. It was soft and warm. The dog licked her hand. It made Lily giggle. She said, "Hi, Rex. You are a nice dog. I like you."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "See, Lily. You are brave. You made a new friend. Now, let's go to the store and buy some things. Maybe we can get a treat for you and Rex."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, let's go. Thank you, Rex. Bye, Rex."
+
+Lily and her mom walked to the store. Lily was not fearful anymore. She was happy. She liked the store. She liked the dog. She liked her mom.
+Lila and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a magic wand that could make things change color. They would wave the wand and say "Abracadabra!" and their teddy bear would turn blue, or their ball would turn pink, or their pillow would turn green.
+
+One day, they saw a new toy in the store. It was a big robot that could talk and move and make noises. They wanted the robot very much, but it was very expensive. They asked their mom if they could buy it, but she said no. She said they had enough toys already, and they should value what they had.
+
+"But mom, the robot is so cool!" Lila said.
+
+"And it can do so many things!" Tom said.
+
+"I know, but the robot is not magic. It needs batteries and wires and buttons. Your magic wand is special. It only needs your imagination and your love. And it can make you happy and healthy, because you laugh and play with it. You should be grateful for your magic wand, and take good care of it." Mom said.
+
+Lila and Tom thought about what mom said. They looked at their magic wand, and remembered all the fun they had with it. They realized that mom was right. The magic wand was special, and they loved it very much. They hugged mom and said thank you.
+
+They decided to go home and play with their magic wand. They waved it and said "Abracadabra!" and their robot turned purple. They laughed and played and had a great time. They learned to value their magic wand, and their magic wand valued them.
+Mia and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Mia had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to make up stories with their toys and act them out.
+
+"Look, my doll is a princess and she lives in a castle," Mia said, holding her doll high. "She has a lot of dresses and jewels and she is very pretty."
+
+"That's boring," Ben said, rolling his car on the floor. "My car is a race car and it goes very fast. It can jump over ramps and do tricks. It is very cool."
+
+Mia and Ben did not agree on what was fun. They had different opinions. They started to argue and shout at each other.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" their mom said, coming into the room. "Why are you fighting? You should share your toys and play nicely."
+
+"But mom, he doesn't like my doll and she doesn't like my car," Ben said, pouting.
+
+"That's okay, you don't have to like the same things. You can still be friends and respect each other's opinions. Why don't you try to play something else that you both enjoy?" mom suggested.
+
+Mia and Ben thought for a moment. They looked around the room and saw a big box. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's make a fort with the box!" Mia said, smiling.
+
+"Yeah, let's do that!" Ben agreed, nodding.
+
+They took the box and some blankets and pillows and made a cozy fort. They crawled inside and pretended it was their secret hideout. They had fun telling stories and jokes and playing games. They forgot about their toys and their argument.
+
+They blinked when they saw mom peeking into their fort. She smiled and brought them some cookies and milk.
+
+"Are you having fun, my little explorers?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, mom, we are!" Mia and Ben said, hugging her.
+
+They learned that they could have different opinions and still get along. They also learned that playing with a box could be more fun than playing with a doll or a car. They were happy and warm in their fort, even though it was cold outside.
+Anna and Ben were twins who lived in a small village. They liked to play outside with their dog, Spot, and their friends. They also liked to help their mom and dad with chores, like picking apples or feeding the chickens.
+
+One day, after lunch, their mom said, "You have been very good today, my darlings. How about a yummy treat?" She gave them each a slice of cake with frosting and sprinkles. Anna and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, mom! This is the best cake ever!"
+
+They ate their cake and drank some milk. They felt very happy and full. Their mom said, "Now, it's time for a nap. You need to rest your eyes and your bodies. Go to your room and lie down on your beds. I will read you a story."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom." They took Spot with them and went to their room. They put on their pajamas and climbed into their beds. Their mom followed them and sat on a chair. She opened a book and started to read. It was a story about a princess and a dragon.
+
+Anna and Ben listened to their mom's voice. They felt very cozy and warm. They cuddled with Spot and closed their eyes. They dreamed of cake and frosting and sprinkles. They dreamed of princesses and dragons and adventures. They napped until the sun went down.
+Sara was a spoiled girl who always got what she wanted. She had many toys, dresses, and sweets, but she was never happy. She always wanted more and more, and she was rude to her parents and friends.
+
+One day, Sara saw a shiny necklace in a shop window. She asked her mom to buy it for her, but her mom said no. She said the necklace was too expensive and Sara had enough things already. Sara was very angry and threw a tantrum. She screamed, kicked, and cried in the street.
+
+Her mom was very sad and ashamed. She took Sara home and told her to go to her room. She said Sara had to learn to be grateful and kind, or she would get nothing for Christmas. Sara did not listen. She slammed the door and wept on her bed.
+
+On Christmas Eve, Sara sneaked downstairs to see what was under the tree. She hoped to find many presents with her name on them. But when she looked, she saw only one small box. She opened it and found a lump of coal. She was shocked and furious. She threw the coal on the floor and wept louder than ever.
+
+She did not know that Santa had seen how spoiled and naughty she was. He had decided to give her coal instead of gifts, to teach her a lesson. He hoped that Sara would realize her mistake and change her ways. He hoped that next year, she would be a good girl and get something nice. But Sara did not understand. She only wept and wept, until her mom came and hugged her. She told her she loved her, but she had to be sorry and say sorry. Sara looked at her mom and the coal, and felt a little sorry. She said sorry and hugged her mom back. She decided to try to be a better girl, and maybe, just maybe, get a necklace next year.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for treasure and secrets. They saw a big hill with some rocks on top. They decided to climb it and see what was there.
+
+"Maybe we will find a temple!" Ben said. "Or a cave with gold and jewels!"
+
+"Or a monster!" Lily said. "Or a dragon!"
+
+They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a hole in the rocks. It was dark and deep. They heard a strange noise coming from inside.
+
+"What is that?" Ben asked. "Do you think it is a temple?"
+
+"Let's find out!" Lily said. She grabbed a stick and threw it into the hole. The noise got louder and angrier.
+
+Suddenly, a big, furry, green thing jumped out of the hole. It had sharp teeth and claws and a long tail. It roared at Ben and Lily. It was a monster!
+
+"Run!" Ben shouted. He and Lily turned around and ran down the hill as fast as they could. The monster chased them, but it was too big and slow to catch them.
+
+They reached the bottom of the hill and ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They told her what they saw.
+
+"A monster?" Mom said. "Are you sure?"
+
+"Yes, Mom, it was a monster!" Ben said. "It was disgusting!"
+
+"It was scary!" Lily said. "It came out of the temple!"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She did not believe them, but she was glad they were safe and had fun.
+
+"Maybe next time you can find a nicer temple," she said. "Or a friendly dragon."
+Mia and Leo were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food for their toys. Mia had a big dish that she filled with water and bubbles. She said it was soup. Leo had a small dish that he put some crackers and cheese on. He said it was pizza.
+
+They were having fun until they heard a loud noise. It was Mom coming home from work. Mia and Leo knew they had to clean up the kitchen before Mom saw it. They did not want Mom to be angry with them.
+
+They quickly grabbed their dishes and ran to the sink. But Mia's dish was too heavy and slippery. She dropped it on the floor and it broke into pieces. Mia started to cry. She was very sorry and scared.
+
+Leo saw what happened and felt bad for his sister. He did not want her to be sad. He hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Mia. It was an accident. We can tell Mom the truth. She will understand."
+
+Mom heard the noise and came into the kitchen. She saw the broken dish and the water and bubbles on the floor. She also saw Mia and Leo hugging and crying. She was not angry. She was glad they were safe and polite.
+
+She knelt down and said, "What happened, my loves?"
+
+Mia and Leo told her what they were doing and how they broke the dish. They said they were sorry and they wanted to help clean up.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Thank you for being honest and kind. I'm not mad at you. I know you were just playing. But next time, please be more careful with the dishes. They can be dangerous if they break. And please ask me before you use the water and bubbles. They can make a big mess."
+
+Mia and Leo nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We're sorry. We love you."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too. Now let's clean up together and then we can have some real soup and pizza for dinner. How does that sound?"
+
+Mia and Leo smiled and said, "That sounds great, Mom. Thank you."
+
+They helped Mom clean up the kitchen and then they had a yummy dinner. They learned their lesson and they were happy.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books to have fun with. But Sara wanted to try something new. She saw a big mop in the corner. It had a long stick and a fluffy head.
+
+"Ben, look at this mop!" Sara said. "It is weird. It looks like a big animal. Can we play with it?"
+
+Ben was not sure. He liked the mop, but he also liked his cars and trains. He did not want to make a mess.
+
+"I don't know, Sara," Ben said. "Mom said we have to be good and not touch the mop. She uses it to clean the floor. It might be dirty or wet."
+
+Sara did not listen. She grabbed the mop and ran around the room. She pretended it was a horse and she was a cowboy. She made loud noises and laughed.
+
+"Yee-haw! Come on, mop! Let's go!" Sara said.
+
+Ben watched her and smiled. He thought she was funny. He decided to join her. He found a zip on his jacket and pulled it up and down. He pretended it was a car and he was a driver. He made honking noises and zoomed.
+
+"Beep beep! Come on, zip! Let's go!" Ben said.
+
+Sara and Ben played with the mop and the zip for a long time. They had a lot of fun. They did not notice that Mom came back from the store. She saw them and shook her head. She was not angry, but she was surprised.
+
+"What are you two doing?" Mom asked. "You have so many toys and books, and you choose to play with a mop and a zip? That is very weird."
+
+Sara and Ben stopped and looked at Mom. They felt a little shy. They did not mean to be weird. They just wanted to have fun.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Sara said. "We were just playing. We like the mop and the zip. They are fun."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She understood. She remembered when she was a little girl and played with weird things too. She was glad that Sara and Ben had good imaginations.
+
+"It's okay, my loves," Mom said. "You can play with whatever you want, as long as you are careful and respectful. But maybe next time, you can also play with your toys and books. They are fun too."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded and agreed. They put the mop and the zip back where they belonged. They thanked Mom for being nice. They went back to the living room and picked up their toys and books. They still had time to play before dinner. They decided to play with everything. They were happy.
+Sam and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. They have many toys in their room. But their mom says some toys are dangerous. She says they can break and hurt them. She tells them not to play with the big truck, the glass ball and the sharp scissors.
+
+One day, Sam and Ben are bored. They want to have fun. They see the big truck, the glass ball and the sharp scissors on the shelf. They think they look cool. They forget what mom said. They take them down and start to play.
+
+Sam drives the big truck on the floor. He makes loud noises. He bumps into the wall. The truck breaks. The wheel falls off. Sam is sad. He tries to fix it. He can't.
+
+Ben rolls the glass ball on the table. He likes how it shines. He throws it in the air. He catches it. He throws it again. He misses. The ball falls. The ball breaks. The glass shatters. Ben is scared. He sees the sharp pieces. He cuts his finger. He cries.
+
+Sam hears Ben cry. He runs to him. He sees the blood. He is sorry. He hugs him. He says he will get mom. He sees the scissors. He thinks they can help. He picks them up. He runs with them. He trips. The scissors stab him. He screams.
+
+Mom hears the screams. She runs to the room. She sees the mess. She sees the twins. She is shocked. She is angry. She is worried. She drops everything. She hugs them. She says she will call the doctor. She says they are very naughty. She says they are very lucky. She says they will never play with dangerous toys again.
+Tom and Anna liked to play in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a cricket on a leaf. It was green and shiny. It made a loud noise with its legs.
+
+"Look, a cricket!" Tom said. "I want to catch it."
+
+"No, don't catch it!" Anna said. "It is not nice to catch bugs. They want to be free."
+
+Tom did not listen to Anna. He ran to the leaf and tried to grab the cricket. But the cricket was fast and jumped away. Tom followed it and tried again. He did not see the rose bush in his way.
+
+"Ow!" Tom cried. He felt a sharp pain in his hand. He had touched a thorn on the rose bush. It made a cut on his skin. It hurt and bled.
+
+Anna ran to Tom and saw his hand. She felt sorry for him. She took him to their mom. Their mom cleaned his cut and put a band-aid on it. She gave him a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" she asked.
+
+Tom nodded. He was still sad. He looked at his hand. The band-aid was expensive. It had a picture of a superhero on it. He liked it, but he wished he had not hurt himself.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," he said. "I was trying to catch a cricket. But it was too fast and I touched a thorn."
+
+Mom smiled. She understood. She liked crickets too. She used to catch them when she was little.
+
+"It's okay, Tom," she said. "But next time, be careful. And listen to Anna. She is right. Bugs are not toys. They are living things. They have feelings too. You can look at them, but don't hurt them. Okay?"
+
+Tom nodded again. He learned his lesson. He said sorry to Anna too. She forgave him. They hugged and went back to the garden. They decided to watch the cricket from a distance. They liked its noise. It sounded like music. They were happy.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. Mom is making soup for dinner. She asks Sara and Ben to set the table.
+
+Sara and Ben take the dishes from the cupboard. They put them on the table. They also take the spoons and the napkins. They are careful not to drop anything.
+
+Mom says, "You are very good helpers. Thank you, Sara and Ben." Sara and Ben smile. They like to make Mom happy.
+
+Mom brings the pot of soup to the table. She pours some soup into each dish. The soup is warm and smells good. Sara and Ben sit down and wait for Mom to join them.
+
+Mom says, "Let's say grace before we eat." Sara and Ben fold their hands and close their eyes. They say, "Thank you, God, for this food and this family. Amen."
+
+Mom says, "Enjoy your soup, Sara and Ben." Sara and Ben say, "Thank you, Mom." They pick up their spoons and start to eat. The soup is warm and tasty. They are happy and full.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with trucks and cars. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There is a big bus in the park. The bus is for a tour. The bus will take people to see many things.
+
+Tim and Sam want to go on the bus. They ask their moms. Their moms say yes. They are happy. They run to the bus. They see a man. The man is the driver. He is loading bags on the bus. He is slow. Tim and Sam are not patient. They want to go fast.
+
+"Come on, come on!" Tim says to the driver. "We want to go now!"
+
+"Yeah, hurry up!" Sam says. "We don't have all day!"
+
+The driver is not happy. He stops loading bags. He looks at Tim and Sam. He says, "You are rude. You are not nice. You have to wait. You have to be polite. You have to say please and thank you. If you don't, you can't go on the bus."
+
+Tim and Sam are surprised. They are sorry. They say, "We are sorry. We are rude. We are not nice. We will wait. We will be polite. We will say please and thank you. Can we go on the bus, please?"
+
+The driver smiles. He says, "That's better. You are good. You are nice. You can go on the bus. But you have to be quiet. You have to listen. You have to learn. The bus will show you many things. You will have fun."
+
+Tim and Sam nod. They say, "Thank you. We will be quiet. We will listen. We will learn. We will have fun."
+
+They go on the bus. They sit down. They buckle up. The driver finishes loading bags. He starts the bus. He says, "Welcome to the tour. Let's go!"
+
+The bus leaves the park. Tim and Sam look out the window. They see many things. They are happy. They are quiet. They listen. They learn. They have fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be polite and patient. You will get what you want. You will enjoy the tour.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side.
+
+They ask their moms if they can go. Their moms say yes, but they have to be back soon. They have to be clean for dinner. Tom and Jen say okay. They take their bikes and go to the hill.
+
+The hill is very steep. Tom and Jen have to pedal hard. They are tired, but they are happy. They want to see what is on the other side. They get to the top of the hill. They see a big lake. It is blue and shiny. They see ducks and fish. They think it is beautiful.
+
+They want to go down the hill and play by the lake. They get on their bikes and start to go down. But they go too fast. They lose control of their bikes. They cannot stop. They scream and cry. They crash into the lake. They get wet and dirty. They hurt their arms and legs. They are scared and sad.
+
+Their moms hear them and come to help. They are angry and worried. They take them out of the lake and check their wounds. They scold them for being careless and disobedient. They take them home and clean them up. They do not let them play outside for a long time. They have to stay in their rooms and think about what they did. Tom and Jen are sorry. They wish they had listened to their moms. They wish they had not gone to the hill. They wish they had been clean for dinner.
+Sam and Mia are friends. They go to the same school. Today, they have a quiz. The quiz is about animals. Sam likes animals. He knows a lot of animal names and sounds. Mia does not like animals. She thinks they are scary and noisy.
+
+The teacher gives them the quiz. It has ten questions. Sam is happy. He knows all the answers. He finishes the quiz very fast. He puts his quiz on the teacher's desk. He smiles. Mia is sad. She does not know any answers. She guesses. She finishes the quiz very slow. She puts her quiz on the teacher's desk. She frowns.
+
+The teacher checks the quizzes. She gives them back. She says, "Good job, Sam. You got ten out of ten. You are very smart. Bad job, Mia. You got zero out of ten. You need to study more. You are very dumb."
+
+Sam is proud. He says, "Thank you, teacher. I love animals. They are fun and cute." Mia is angry. She says, "No, thank you, teacher. I hate animals. They are huge and mean."
+
+Sam and Mia are not friends anymore. They do not talk to each other. They do not play together. They do not sit together. They are very lonely. The end.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They share a room and a big mattress. They like to play and jump on the mattress. But sometimes they fight and yell at each other.
+
+One night, Tom and Lily are not sleepy. They want to stay up and play. They take their toys and books and make a mess on the mattress. They laugh and shout and have fun.
+
+But Mom and Dad are sleepy. They want Tom and Lily to be quiet and go to sleep. They knock on the door and say, "Tom and Lily, it is time for bed. Stop playing and yelling. You need to sleep."
+
+Tom and Lily do not listen. They keep playing and yelling. They think Mom and Dad are not fair. They say, "No, we do not want to sleep. We want to play. Go away, Mom and Dad."
+
+Mom and Dad are angry. They open the door and turn on the light. They see the mess on the mattress. They see Tom and Lily with their toys and books. They say, "Tom and Lily, you are naughty. You did not listen to us. You made a mess on the mattress. You need to clean up and sleep. Now."
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They see Mom and Dad's faces. They hear Mom and Dad's voices. They know they are in trouble. They say, "Sorry, Mom and Dad. We will clean up and sleep. Please do not be mad at us."
+
+Mom and Dad are still angry. But they are also tired. They say, "OK, Tom and Lily. We will help you clean up. But you have to promise to be quiet and sleep. No more playing and yelling. Understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They say, "Yes, Mom and Dad. We understand. We promise to be quiet and sleep. We love you, Mom and Dad."
+
+Mom and Dad hug Tom and Lily. They say, "We love you too, Tom and Lily. Good night, sweet dreams."
+
+They help Tom and Lily clean up the mess on the mattress. They tuck them in and kiss them good night. They turn off the light and close the door.
+
+Tom and Lily are sleepy. They cuddle with their toys and books. They whisper, "Good night, Tom. Good night, Lily."
+
+They close their eyes and fall asleep. They do not play and yell anymore. They are good twins.
+Tom and Lily are playing with blocks in their room. They like to build towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes.
+
+Tom picks up a blue cube and puts it on top of his tower. He is proud of his tower. It is very tall and strong. He looks at Lily and says, "Look at my tower, Lily. It is the best tower ever."
+
+Lily looks at Tom's tower and smiles. She likes Tom's tower, but she also likes her bridge. She has made a bridge with red and yellow blocks. She can put her cars and dolls on the bridge. She says, "Your tower is nice, Tom. But my bridge is nice too. See, I can make my cars go vroom vroom on the bridge."
+
+Tom and Lily are happy with their blocks. They play with them for a long time. They do not notice that it is getting dark outside. They do not notice that their mom is calling them for dinner. They do not notice that there is a distant sound of thunder.
+
+But they notice when the lights go off. They notice when their room becomes dark and scary. They notice when they hear a loud boom of thunder and see a flash of lightning. They notice that they are afraid.
+
+They drop their blocks and run to each other. They hug each other and cry. They want their mom. They want the lights back. They want the thunder to stop.
+
+Their mom hears them and comes to their room. She has a flashlight and a blanket. She hugs them and says, "Don't worry, Tom and Lily. It is just a storm. It will pass soon. I am here with you. You are safe."
+
+She wraps them in the blanket and takes them to the living room. She gives them some cookies and milk. She tells them a story. She makes them laugh. She makes them feel better.
+
+Tom and Lily forget about their blocks. They forget about their tower and bridge. They forget about the thunder and lightning. They only notice their mom. They only notice her love. They only notice that they are happy.
+Anna and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were in space. They had a big cardboard box that was their rocket. They put stickers and drawings on it. They wore helmets made of paper.
+
+"Ready for blast off?" Ben asked Anna.
+
+"Yes!" Anna said. "Let's go to the purple planet!"
+
+They climbed into the box and closed the flap. They made noises like a rocket. They counted down from ten. "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blast off!"
+
+They shook the box and pretended it was flying. They looked at the ceiling and imagined it was the sky. They saw stars and moons and planets. They saw a big purple planet. It looked like a ball of grapes.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Anna said. "That's the purple planet!"
+
+"Let's land there!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find some aliens!"
+
+They made noises like a landing. They opened the flap and got out of the box. They looked around. They saw purple walls and purple carpet and purple toys. They saw a purple bed and a purple dresser and a purple lamp. They saw a purple cat sleeping on the bed.
+
+"Where are we?" Anna asked. "This is not the purple planet!"
+
+"This is Lily's room!" Ben said. "She loves purple!"
+
+They heard a voice from downstairs. It was their mom.
+
+"Anna, Ben, time for lunch!" she called.
+
+They ran out of the room. They saw Lily coming up the stairs. She saw them and frowned.
+
+"Hey, what were you doing in my room?" she asked. "Did you touch my stuff?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They did not understand why Lily was mad. They thought they were in space. They thought they were having fun. They did not know that Lily did not like to share.
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Anna said. "We were playing space. We thought your room was the purple planet."
+
+Lily rolled her eyes. She did not understand why Anna and Ben were silly. She thought they were too old for pretend. She thought they were boring. She did not know that they had big imaginations.
+
+"Whatever," Lily said. "Just stay out of my room. And don't touch my cat. He's allergic to paper."
+
+She walked into her room and closed the door. Anna and Ben shrugged and went downstairs. They did not care what Lily said. They still liked to play space. They still liked to explore. They still liked to have fun.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and dragons. Lily had a stick that she called her sword. Max had a big leaf that he called his shield.
+
+They ran around the trees and the swings, making loud noises and having fun. Sometimes they fought each other, and sometimes they fought imaginary enemies.
+
+"Roar!" Max said, as he jumped out from behind a bush. "I am a fierce dragon! I will eat you, knight!"
+
+Lily laughed and waved her sword. "No, you won't, dragon! I am a brave knight! I will stop you with my sword!"
+
+They charged at each other, ready to play-battle. But then they saw something that made them stop and stare.
+
+It was a real sword. It was shiny and sharp and had a golden handle. It was stuck in a big rock that was near the slide. It looked very impressive.
+
+"Wow!" Lily said. "Look at that sword! It's so pretty!"
+
+"Wow!" Max said. "Look at that sword! It's so cool!"
+
+They ran towards the sword, curious and excited. They wanted to touch it and hold it and play with it.
+
+But as they got closer, they heard a voice.
+
+"Stop!" the voice said. "That is my sword! You can't have it!"
+
+They looked up and saw a man. He was wearing a helmet and a coat of metal. He had a big horse and a flag. He looked angry.
+
+He was a real knight.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with paper. They had many colors of paper and scissors and glue. They made animals and flowers and stars with paper. They were very cheerful and had fun.
+
+One day, they found a big book with many pictures in their room. It was their mom's book, but they did not know. They thought it was a new toy for them. They opened the book and saw many beautiful pictures of places and people and things. They wanted to make paper things with the pictures.
+
+They took the scissors and started to cut the pictures from the book. They cut and cut and cut. They made many pieces of paper with pictures. They did not see their mom coming into the room. She saw the book and the pieces and was very angry.
+
+"Tom! Lily! What did you do?" she shouted. "This was my special book! You tore it to pieces! How could you?"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They did not mean to make their mom angry. They did not know the book was special. They wanted to make her happy with their paper things. They started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," they said. "We did not know. We wanted to play with paper. We wanted to show you our paper things."
+
+Their mom saw their tears and their paper things. She saw they were sorry and they did not understand. She felt sorry too. She hugged them and said, "It's okay, my loves. I know you did not mean to hurt me. But you have to be careful with books. They are not toys. They have stories and information and memories. You have to respect them and not tear them. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will not tear books again. We are sorry."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "I forgive you. And I see you made some nice paper things. They are very pretty. Why don't we glue them on a new paper and make a collage? We can hang it on the wall and remember this day."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled too and said, "Yes, mom. That sounds fun. Thank you, mom. We love you."

+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but Anna wanted to have more. She was selfish and did not like to share with Ben.
+
+One day, their mom gave them a new toy. It was a mirror that could display different pictures when you pressed a button. Anna and Ben were very happy and curious. They wanted to see what the mirror could do.
+
+"Let me try first!" Anna said, grabbing the mirror from mom. She pressed the button and saw a picture of a flower. "Wow, how pretty!" she said.
+
+"Can I see too?" Ben asked, reaching for the mirror. But Anna pushed him away. "No, it's mine! Go away!" she said.
+
+Ben was sad and angry. He did not understand why Anna was so mean. He wanted to play with the mirror too. He tried to take the mirror from Anna, but she held it tight. They started to fight and pull the mirror.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" mom said, hearing the noise. She came to the room and saw Anna and Ben fighting over the mirror. She was not happy. She took the mirror from them and said, "This is not how you play with a toy. You have to share and take turns. Anna, you are being selfish and rude. You have to say sorry to Ben and let him see the mirror too."
+
+Anna felt ashamed and sorry. She realized she was wrong. She looked at Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was selfish and mean. Can you forgive me? Do you want to see the mirror too?"
+
+Ben smiled and nodded. He forgave Anna and hugged her. He said, "It's okay, Anna. I love you. Let's see the mirror together."

+
+One sunny day, they went to the lake with their kayak. They put on their life jackets and helmets and got ready to paddle. Lila sat in the front and Ben sat in the back. They waved to their mom and dad, who were watching from the shore.
+

+They paddled hard and made the kayak move on the water. They felt the wind and the waves. They saw ducks and fish. They had fun.
+
+Suddenly, they saw a big rock in their way. They tried to steer the kayak around it, but it was too late. The kayak hit the rock and flipped over. Lila and Ben fell into the water.

+Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away, but they always ran after it and brought it back.
+
+One day, they saw a big truck with a loud siren and a red cross on it. It was an ambulance. They wondered what it was doing there. They stopped playing and watched it drive into the park.
+
+"Maybe someone is hurt," Tim said.
+
+"Maybe they need help," Lily said.
+
+They decided to follow the ambulance and see what was going on. They left their ball on the grass and ran after the truck. They did not see the man who was walking his dog nearby.
+
+The man saw the ball and thought it was his dog's toy. He picked it up and threw it as far as he could. He did not see Tim and Lily running behind him. He did not hear them shout "Hey, that's our ball!"
+
+The ball flew in the air and landed on the road. It bounced and rolled into the path of the ambulance. The ambulance driver saw the ball and tried to avoid it. He swerved and hit the brakes. He did not see the car that was coming from the other side.
+
+There was a loud crash and a lot of smoke. The ambulance and the car were both damaged. The people inside were hurt. Tim and Lily heard the noise and stopped running. They looked at the scene and felt scared and sorry.

+"Look, Lily, my car is broken!" Tom says, sad.
+
+"Maybe I can fix it for you," Lily says, kind. She takes the car and looks at it. She sees a small hole in the back. She opens it and finds a battery. "Here is the problem, Tom. Your car needs a new battery."
+
+"Where can we get a new battery?" Tom asks.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She remembers that their dad has a box of old things in the garage. Maybe there is a battery there. "Let's go to the garage and see," she says.
+
+They go to the garage and look for the box. They find it under a pile of waste. There are many things that their dad does not use anymore. They see a radio, a flashlight, a clock, and a remote. They open the box and look inside. They find a battery that looks like the one in Tom's car.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a battery!" Lily says, happy.
+
+"Good job, Lily!" Tom says, excited. He takes the battery and puts it in his car. He closes the hole and pushes the buttons. The car makes noises and lights again.

+Mom looked at the new scooter and said, "Lily, you already have a scooter. It is pink and shiny and has a bell. You don't need another scooter."
+
+"But mom, the new scooter is better. It has lights and a horn. And it is taller. I want to be tall like you, mom."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Lily, you are growing every day. You will be tall like me soon. But you don't need a scooter to be tall. You need to eat well and sleep well and play well. And you need to be happy with what you have. Your scooter is very nice and it loves you. Can you love it back?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She looked at her pink scooter and remembered how much fun she had with it. She remembered how it helped her learn to balance and steer and ring the bell.

+Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm proud of you, Lily. You are a good girl. You are kind and grateful and smart. And you are tall in your heart. Come on, let's go to the park and ride your scooter. Maybe we can find some new friends to play with."

+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They did not have any treasure. They only had their boat and their toys. They did not want to give them to the mean pirate. They looked at each other and had an idea.
+
+"Sorry, sir," Lily said. "We did not know this was your port. We are just playing. We have no treasure. But we have a gift for you. A very special gift. Do you want to see it?"
+
+The pirate was curious. He liked gifts. He nodded and followed Lily and Ben to their boat. They climbed on board and showed him a big chest. "This is our gift," Ben said. "It is full of gold and jewels and pearls. You can have it all. But you have to open it yourself. It is a surprise."
+
+The pirate was greedy. He wanted the chest. He pushed Lily and Ben aside and opened the chest. But instead of gold and jewels and pearls, he saw a big cake with candles. The cake said "Happy Birthday, Pirate!" Lily and Ben had made it for their dad, who was a pirate too. He was hiding behind the boat. He jumped out and shouted "Surprise!"
+
+The pirate was surprised. He was also confused. He did not know it was his birthday. He did not know Lily and Ben were his children. He did not know their dad was his brother.

+
+They took turns spraying the bottle and making rainbows. They were having so much fun. They did not see the cat that was hiding behind a bush. The cat was black and white and very intelligent. He did not like water at all. He did not like the children either. He wanted them to go away.
+
+The cat waited for the right moment. When Lily and Max were busy looking at the rainbow, he jumped out of the bush and ran towards them. He made a loud meow and scratched the bottle with his claws. The bottle fell to the ground and the water spilled everywhere.

+Tom's mom came in and said, "Do you like your new room, Tom?" Tom smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I like it. Thank you." He hugged her and said, "I'm not worried anymore. I'm happy."
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces. Tom and Lily laugh and pet the dog.
+
+But then, a loud noise scares the dog. He barks and runs away. Tom and Lily are sad. They want to find the dog. They look for him in the park. They call his name. But they cannot see him.
+
+They see a man. The man has a poster. The poster has a picture of the dog. The poster says: "Lost dog. Reward for finding him." Tom and Lily show the man the poster. They tell him they saw the dog. They tell him where he ran.
+
+The man is happy. He thanks Tom and Lily. He gives them a reward. He gives them a big chocolate bar. Tom and Lily are happy. They share the chocolate bar. They hope the man finds the dog. They hope the dog is not scared anymore. They hope the dog is friendly again.
+Sara liked to gather flowers in the park. She had a big basket and she filled it with red, yellow and pink flowers. She liked to give them to her friends and family.
+
+On Tuesday, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy with a kite. The kite was blue and green and it flew high in the sky. Sara wanted to play with the kite. She was envious of the boy.
+
+She asked her mom, "Can I have a kite too?"
+
+Her mom said, "Maybe for your birthday, Sara. Kites are not cheap. You have to save money for them."
+
+Sara was sad. She did not want to wait for her birthday. She wanted a kite now.
+
+She saw the boy put down his kite and run to the swings. She had an idea. She left her basket of flowers and ran to the kite. She picked it up and tried to fly it.
+
+But the boy saw her. He was angry. He shouted, "Hey, that's my kite! Give it back!"
+
+Sara was scared. She dropped the kite and ran back to her mom. She cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just wanted to try it."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Sara, you can't take things that are not yours. That's not nice. You have to ask first. And you have to be happy with what you have. You have beautiful flowers. They are a gift from nature. You should share them with others."
+
+Sara felt ashamed. She nodded and said, "You're right, mom. I'm sorry. I will share my flowers."
+
+She went to the boy and said, "I'm sorry I took your kite. It was wrong. Can I give you some flowers to say sorry?"
+
+The boy was surprised. He said, "Really? You want to give me flowers?"
+
+Sara said, "Yes, I do. They are pretty and they smell good. And they are for you."
+
+The boy smiled and said, "Thank you, Sara. That's very kind of you. Do you want to fly my kite with me?"
+
+Sara smiled too and said, "Yes, I do. Thank you, too."
+
+They became friends and played with the kite and the flowers. Sara learned to be happy with what she had and to be generous with others. She was not envious anymore. She was glad.
+Lily and Max liked to play hide and seek in their room. They had a huge sheet that they used to make a tent on their bed. One day, Lily was hiding under the sheet and Max was looking for her. He looked in the closet, under the desk, and behind the curtains, but he could not find her.
+
+"Where are you, Lily?" he called. "I give up!"
+
+He heard a giggle from the bed. He ran to the sheet and lifted it up. But there was no one there! The sheet was empty. Lily had disappeared!
+
+Max was very surprised and scared. He dropped the sheet and looked around. Where did Lily go? He heard another giggle, but he did not know where it came from.
+
+"Lily, where are you?" he asked. "This is not funny!"
+
+He heard a whisper in his ear. "Boo!"
+
+He turned around and saw Lily. She was hiding behind him. She had crawled out of the sheet when he was not looking. She had tricked him!
+
+Max was relieved and happy. He hugged Lily and laughed. "You are very sneaky, Lily!" he said. "You scared me!"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Sorry, Max. I just wanted to play. Do you want to hide now?"
+
+Max nodded and said, "Yes, but no more disappearing, okay?"
+
+Lily agreed and they played again. They had fun with the huge sheet. They did not disappear anymore.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build houses and towers with the blocks. Sara had a big idea. She wanted to make a roof for her house with a paper towel. She took a paper towel from the kitchen and put it on top of her blocks.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a roof!" Sara said proudly.
+
+Ben looked at Sara's roof. He did not think it was a good roof. He thought it was too thin and soft. He wanted to show Sara a better roof. He took a book from the shelf and put it on top of his blocks.
+
+"Look, Sara, I made a roof too!" Ben said loudly.
+
+Sara looked at Ben's roof. She did not like it. She thought it was too heavy and hard. She wanted to prove that her roof was better. She took a cup of water from the table and poured it on Ben's roof.
+
+"Ha, ha, your roof is wet and ruined!" Sara said meanly.
+
+Ben was angry and sad. He did not like that Sara poured water on his roof. He wanted to get back at Sara. He took a crayon from the box and drew on Sara's roof.
+
+"Ha, ha, your roof is dirty and ugly!" Ben said rudely.
+
+Sara was shocked and hurt. She did not like that Ben drew on her roof. She started to cry. Ben started to cry too. They both felt uncomfortable and sorry.
+
+Mom heard their cries and came to the living room. She saw their roofs and their faces. She was not happy.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked sternly.
+
+Sara and Ben told Mom what they did. They both said they were sorry. Mom shook her head.
+
+"That was not nice of you. You should not ruin each other's roofs. You should respect each other's work. You should share and help each other. That is how you can be good friends and have fun." Mom said wisely.
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They understood. They hugged each other and said they were sorry again. They decided to work together and make a new roof with both the paper towel and the book. They smiled and thanked Mom. Mom smiled too and gave them a kiss. She helped them wipe their roofs and their tears. They learned their lesson.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma kept there. They saw a big chest, a shiny mirror, a broken clock and a dusty book.
+
+"What is this book?" Lily asked, picking it up. She opened it and saw strange letters and pictures.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a magic book," Tom said, coming closer. He tried to read some words, but they sounded funny.
+
+"Maybe it is a very old book. Grandma said old things are ancient," Lily said. She turned the pages and saw a map. "Look, Tom, a map! Maybe it shows a treasure!"
+
+"Let's follow it!" Tom said, excited. He took the book and the map and ran to the door. "Come on, Lily, let's go!"
+
+But Lily did not follow him. She felt sleepy. She yawned and put the book down. She saw a soft blanket on the chest. She crawled on it and closed her eyes. She decided to take a nap.
+
+Tom came back to the attic. He did not find any treasure. He was tired and disappointed. He saw Lily sleeping on the blanket. He smiled and joined her. He covered them both with the blanket and hugged her. He whispered, "Maybe the treasure is here, Lily. Maybe the treasure is us." He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
+
+The book was still on the floor. The map was still in Tom's hand. The dust was still in the air. The attic was still ancient. But Tom and Lily were happy. They had each other. They had a nap. They had a dream.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it.
+
+"Me first!" Tom says. He climbs up the ladder and slides down fast. He laughs and runs back to the ladder.
+
+"Me too!" Sam says. He follows Tom and slides down too. He smiles and runs back to the ladder.
+
+They take turns sliding and having fun. But then, a big boy comes. He pushes Tom and Sam away from the ladder. He says, "This is my slide. Go away!"
+
+Tom and Sam are sad and scared. They look at their moms. Their moms see what is happening. They walk to the slide and talk to the big boy.
+
+"Hey, you can't do that. That is not nice. That is not the law," one mom says. "The law is to share and care. Do you know what that means?"
+
+The big boy looks at the mom. He shakes his head. He does not know.
+
+"It means you have to be good to others. You have to let them play too. You have to be kind and fair. That is how you make friends," the other mom says. "Do you want to be friends with Tom and Sam?"
+
+The big boy thinks. He nods. He does want to be friends.
+
+"Then you have to say sorry and play nice. Can you do that?" the mom asks.
+
+The big boy says sorry to Tom and Sam. He asks them if they want to slide with him. Tom and Sam say yes. They go to the ladder together. They take turns sliding and having fun. They laugh and smile.
+
+The moms are happy. They see their kids are happy. They see they are good and care. They see they follow the law. They clap and cheer. They are proud of their kids.
+Lily likes to help her mom work in the garden. She has a small shovel and a bucket. She digs holes and puts seeds in them. Mom says she is a good helper.
+
+But today, Lily is very busy. She has to go to the park with her dad and her brother. They will play on the swings and the slide. Lily loves the park. She puts on her hat and her shoes. She says bye to mom and the garden.
+
+At the park, Lily has a lot of fun. She swings high and slides fast. She laughs and runs with her brother. Dad watches them and smiles. He says they are good kids.
+

He buys them each a cone with their favorite flavor. Lily gets chocolate. She says thank you to dad. He says it is a treat for being busy and helpful. Lily licks her ice cream and smiles. She thinks it is the best treat ever.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the yard with their toy cars. They liked to make noises like motors and pretend they were racing. Tim had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise from the street. They looked and saw a big truck with a lot of boxes. The truck stopped in front of their house. A man came out and opened the back door. He took out a big box and carried it to their door. He rang the bell.
+
+"Who is it?" Tim's mom asked from inside.
+
+"I have a delivery for you," the man said.
+
+Tim and Lily ran to the door. They were curious. What was in the box? Maybe it was a new toy or a game. They hoped it was for them.
+
+Tim's mom opened the door and thanked the man. She took the box and put it on the floor. She looked at the label and smiled.
+
+"Guess what, kids? This is a surprise for you from your grandma. She sent you a cake for your birthday!"
+
+"A cake?" Tim and Lily said together. They were excited. They loved cake. They wondered what kind of cake it was. Maybe it was chocolate or vanilla or strawberry. They hoped it was tasty.
+
+Tim's mom opened the box and lifted the lid. Inside, there was a big round cake with white frosting and colorful sprinkles. But that was not all. On top of the cake, there was something else. Something that made Tim and Lily gasp.
+
+It was a toy car. A big toy car. A toy car that looked like a real car. A toy car that had a motor and a horn and lights. A toy car that was big enough for them to sit in and drive.
+
+"Wow!" Tim and Lily said together. They were amazed. They had never seen such a toy car before. They wanted to try it right away.
+
+"Thank you, grandma!" they shouted. They hugged their mom and ran to the cake. They took the toy car and put it on the ground. They climbed in and turned the key. The motor started and the horn beeped. They drove around the yard, making noises and laughing.
+
+They had the best birthday ever. And the cake was very tasty, too.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pretty dress, long hair and a necklace. Lily liked to open the necklace and look at the shiny stone inside.
+
+One day, Lily's brother Tom came into her room. He saw Anna on the bed and wanted to play with her. He grabbed Anna and ran away. Lily was very angry. She shouted, "Give me back my doll! That is mine!"
+
+Tom did not listen. He ran to the living room and threw Anna on the couch. He opened the necklace and took out the shiny stone. He put it in his pocket and laughed.
+
+Lily followed him and saw what he did. She was very sad and angry. She ran to the couch and picked up Anna. She saw that her necklace was broken and her stone was gone. She cried, "You are a bad brother! You broke my doll's necklace and stole her stone!"
+
+Tom did not care. He said, "It is just a toy. I like the stone. It is mine now."
+
+Lily did not like that. She wanted her stone back. She jumped on Tom and tried to get the stone from his pocket. They fought and pushed and pulled. They made a lot of noise.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Lily and Tom fighting. She was very angry. She said, "Stop that right now! What are you doing?"
+
+Lily and Tom stopped fighting. They looked at Mom. They were scared. They knew they were in trouble. Lily said, "Tom took my doll and broke her necklace and stole her stone!"
+
+Tom said, "Lily is lying. It is my stone. I found it."
+
+Mom did not believe Tom. She said, "That is not true. That is Lily's doll's stone. You need to give it back to her and say sorry. And you need to fix the necklace. And you need to be nice to your sister."
+
+Tom did not want to do that. He pouted and said, "No."
+
+Mom did not like that. She said, "Yes. Or you will go to your room and have no TV and no snacks."
+
+Tom did not like that. He knew Mom was serious. He sighed and said, "Fine."
+
+He gave the stone back to Lily and said sorry. He helped her fix the necklace. He hugged her and said, "I love you, sister."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I love you, brother."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That is better. Now you can play nicely together. And share your toys."

+Lily and Tom nodded and said, "OK, Mom."
+
+They played nicely together. They shared their toys. They were happy. Mom was happy. Anna was happy. The end.
+Tim and Sue are playing on the farm. They like to see the cows and the pigs and the chickens. They also like to run and jump and hide in the hay. Hay is soft and yellow and smells good.
+
+One day, they find a big pile of hay near the barn. They think it is a good place to play. They climb on top of the hay and pretend they are on a mountain. They laugh and shout and have fun.
+
+But then, Tim feels something poke him in the back. He turns around and sees a metal fork sticking out of the hay. It is sharp and rusty and scary. Tim is afraid he will get hurt. He tells Sue to be careful.
+
+Sue tries to move away from the fork, but she slips and falls off the hay. She lands on the hard ground and hurts her knee. She starts to cry. Tim leans over the hay and tries to help her. He says he is sorry and asks if she is okay.
+
+Sue says her knee is sore and bleeding. She is also uncomfortable and dirty. She wants to go home. Tim agrees. He says they should not play on the hay anymore. He says they should find their mom and dad and tell them what happened. He says they will make them feel better.
+
+They hold hands and walk to the house. They see their mom and dad working in the garden. They run to them and hug them. They tell them about the fork and the hay and the fall. Their mom and dad are worried and angry and sad. They say they are glad they are not badly hurt. They say they should never play on the hay again. They say it is dangerous and not a toy.
+
+They take them inside and clean their wounds and give them band-aids and kisses. They also give them cookies and milk and a hug. They say they love them and they are proud of them. They say they are brave and smart and good.

+One day, a huge dog named Max was walking with his old friend, Bob. Bob had a cane to help him walk, because his legs were not very strong. Max liked to sniff everything he saw, like flowers, trees, and cats.
+
+But then, Max saw something new. It was a big, red, shiny ball. Max wanted to play with it, so he ran towards it. Bob tried to follow him, but he was too slow. Max reached the ball and tried to bite it, but it was not a ball. It was a balloon!
+
+The balloon popped with a loud bang, and Max was scared. He jumped back and started to sneeze. He sneezed so hard that he knocked over a trash can, and a lot of garbage fell out. Bob finally caught up with him and tried to calm him down.
+
+"Are you okay, Max?" Bob asked. "That was not a ball, that was a balloon. Balloons are not for biting, they are for blowing."
+
+Max stopped sneezing and looked at Bob. He felt sorry for making a mess. He wagged his tail and licked Bob's face. He was glad that Bob was his friend.
+
+Bob smiled and hugged Max. He was not angry with him. He knew that Max was just curious and playful. He picked up his cane and some of the garbage. He said to Max, "Come on, let's go home. Maybe we can find a real ball to play with later."
+Lily likes fashion. She likes to see pretty dresses and shoes and hats. She likes to try them on and look in the mirror. She feels happy and pretty.
+
+One day, Lily goes to the mall with her mom. She sees a big store with many fashion things. She wants to go inside and see more. She asks her mom, "Can we go, please?"
+
+Her mom says, "Okay, but be careful. Don't touch anything. Just look with your eyes."
+
+Lily nods and follows her mom. She sees many fashion things. She sees a red dress with sparkles. She sees a blue hat with a feather. She sees a pink purse with a bow. She likes them all.
+
+She sees a pair of purple shoes with high heels. She thinks they are very pretty. She wants to try them on. She looks at her mom. Her mom is busy looking at something else. Lily thinks, "Maybe I can try them on quickly. Mom won't see."
+
+She takes off her shoes and puts on the purple shoes. They are too big for her. She tries to walk in them. She feels clumsy. She wobbles and stumbles. She falls down. She makes a loud noise.
+
+Her mom hears the noise and turns around. She sees Lily on the floor with the purple shoes. She sees the store lady looking angry. She says, "Lily, what did you do?"
+
+Lily feels scared and sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to see the fashion shoes. They are pretty, but clumsy."
+
+Her mom helps her up and takes off the purple shoes. She puts on Lily's shoes. She says, "Lily, you can't try on things without asking. You could get hurt or break something. Fashion is fun, but you have to be careful and respectful."
+
+Lily nods and says, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, store lady. I won't do it again."
+
+Her mom hugs her and says, "I love you, Lily. You are pretty, but you are also smart and kind. That's more important than fashion."
+
+Lily hugs her back and says, "I love you, mom. You are pretty and smart and kind, too."
+
+They leave the store and go home. Lily learns a lesson. She still likes fashion, but she also likes to be safe and good.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they do not like to clean their room. They leave their toys and books everywhere. They also leave their socks on the floor.
+
+One day, Mom says, "Sara and Ben, you need to clean your room. It is very messy. Put your toys and books in the box. Put your socks in the basket. I will help you carry them to the laundry."
+
+Sara and Ben do not listen to Mom. They say, "No, we do not want to clean our room. We want to play more. Cleaning is boring. We will do it later."
+
+Mom says, "If you do not clean your room, you will not get any dessert. You will also have no clean socks to wear tomorrow. You will have cold feet."
+
+Sara and Ben still do not listen to Mom. They say, "We do not care. We have many socks. We can find some later. We do not need dessert. We have candy."
+
+Mom says, "Okay, then. You can play more. But you will see the consequences."
+
+Mom leaves the room. Sara and Ben are happy. They play more with their toys and books. They forget about their socks and the dessert.

+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were wrong. We should have cleaned our room. We should have listened to you. We should have put our socks in the basket. We should have helped you carry them to the laundry. We learned our lesson. Can we have some dessert, please?"
+
+Mom says, "I am glad you learned your lesson. But you still have to clean your room. You still have to put your socks in the basket. You still have to help me carry them to the laundry. Then you can have some dessert. But only a little bit. You have to eat healthy food, too."
+
+Sara and Ben say, "Okay, Mom. We will do it. We will be good. We will clean our room. We will put our socks in the basket. We will help you carry them to the laundry. We will eat healthy food, too. Thank you, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "You are welcome, Sara and Ben. I love you. You are my good twins."
+
+The end.
+One day, a big lion was very hungry. He saw a human walking in the forest. The lion thought, "I will eat this human. He looks tasty and fat." He ran after the human and roared.
+
+The human was scared. He said, "Please, do not eat me, Mr. Lion. I have a family and friends who love me. You can find other food in the forest. There are many fruits and nuts and berries. They are good for you and make you strong."
+
+The lion stopped and thought. He said, "You are right, human. I do not need to eat you. There are other food in the forest. But why are you walking here? This is my home. You should not come here and make it messy."
+
+The human said, "I am sorry, Mr. Lion. I was looking for some flowers for my wife. She likes flowers very much. They make her happy and smile. I did not mean to make your home messy. I will be tidy and pick up my trash."
+
+The lion said, "That is good, human. I like flowers too. They are pretty and smell nice. I will show you where to find the best flowers. But you must promise me to be tidy and respect my home. And you must not tell anyone about me. I do not want more humans to come here and bother me."
+
+The human said, "I promise, Mr. Lion. Thank you for being kind and generous. You are a good lion. I will be tidy and respect your home. And I will not tell anyone about you. You are my secret friend."
+
+The lion and the human walked together and found the best flowers. The human gave some to the lion and took some for his wife. They said goodbye and went their ways. The lion was happy and not hungry anymore. He ate some fruits and nuts and berries. The human was happy and not scared anymore. He gave the flowers to his wife and made her happy and smile.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not judge others by their looks. Be kind and respectful to everyone. Share and help each other. Be tidy and care for the environment. Friendship can be found in unexpected places.
+Lily and Ben were going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They were very happy because they were going to see Grandma and Grandpa. They had never been on a plane before.
+
+When they got to the airport, they saw many people and many bags. They also saw big planes with wings and wheels. Lily and Ben wanted to know more about the planes. They asked Mom and Dad many questions.
+
+"Mom, why do planes have wings?" Lily asked.
+
+"Planes have wings to fly in the sky, like birds," Mom said.
+
+"Dad, why do planes have wheels?" Ben asked.
+
+"Planes have wheels to roll on the ground, like cars," Dad said.
+
+Lily and Ben learned a lot about planes. They thought planes were very unique. They were not like birds or cars, but they had parts of both.
+
+Soon, it was time to board the plane. Mom and Dad gave Lily and Ben their tickets and helped them find their seats. They buckled their seat belts and waited for the plane to take off.
+
+Lily and Ben were very excited. They looked out the window and saw the airport get smaller and smaller. They were flying in the sky, like planes. They smiled and hugged each other. They were going to see Grandma and Grandpa. They were going to have a lot of fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and tell jokes. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They think it is a good place to hide and scare their mom.
+
+They go inside the box and wait. They hear their mom coming. They are ready to yell "boo!" and make her jump. They think it is a funny joke.
+
+But their mom does not see the box. She walks past it and goes to the car. She has to go to the store. She is in a hurry.
+
+Lily and Ben are confused. They peek out of the box. They see their mom driving away. They are scared. They do not know what to do.
+
+They start to yell for their mom. They hope she will hear them and come back. They are sorry for their joke. They wish they were more careful.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They liked to bounce it, roll it, and throw it to each other.
+
+One day, they had a fight over the ball. Anna wanted to bounce it, but Ben wanted to roll it. They both pulled the ball hard and did not want to share. The ball slipped from their hands and flew away. It hit a rock and popped with a loud noise.
+
+Anna and Ben were sad and angry. They blamed each other for breaking the ball. They said mean words and did not want to play together anymore. They went to separate corners of the yard and sulked.
+
+Their mom saw them and came to talk to them. She asked them why they were not playing together. They told her about the ball and the fight. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry you lost your ball, but it's not worth losing your friend. You are twins, you are incredible, and you are better together than apart. You should say sorry and make up. Maybe we can get a new ball later."
+
+Anna and Ben thought about what their mom said. They realized she was right. They missed each other and felt bad for being mean. They walked to each other and said sorry. They hugged and smiled. They decided to play something else that they both liked, like tag or hide and seek. They ran and laughed and had fun.
+
+Moral: Sharing is caring, and fighting is not nice. Friends are more important than things.
+One day, Tom and Lily wanted to surprise their mom. They had a big idea. They would make her a cake. They got some eggs, flour, sugar, and milk from the kitchen. They mixed them in a bowl. They poured the mix in a pan. They put the pan in the oven.

+
+They finished the cake. They felt very full. Their bellies were tight. They laughed. They said, "We ate too much cake. We need to run and play." They went to the backyard. They ran and played. They had fun. They were happy. They loved their mom. Their mom loved them. It was a good day.
+Lily and Sam were bored. They wanted to play a fun game. They looked around the room and saw a big box. It was brown and had a picture of a star on it. It looked mysterious.
+
+"What is in the box?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Sam said.
+

+Tom and Mia were playing in the farm with their grandpa. They liked to see the animals and feed them carrots and hay. Grandpa said they could go inside the stable and pet the horses, but they had to be careful and quiet.
+
+Tom and Mia walked slowly into the stable. They saw four big horses with brown and black fur. They looked nice and friendly. Tom and Mia each took a carrot from their pockets and held it out to the horses. The horses came closer and ate the carrots from their hands. Tom and Mia smiled and stroked their noses.

+"Hello, doggy!" Anna said. She wanted to pet the dog. She reached out her hand.
+
+"Wait, Anna!" Ben said. He recognized the dog. He remembered the dog from a book. The book said the dog was a mighty zipper. A zipper was a dog that could run very fast and chase things. "This dog is a zipper. He might run away with you!"
+
+Anna looked at Ben. She did not believe him. She thought Ben was joking. She did not know what a zipper was. She thought a zipper was something on her jacket. She pointed to her jacket. "This is a zipper, Ben. See? It goes up and down."
+
+Ben shook his head. He tried to explain. "No, Anna. That is a zipper too, but a different kind. This dog is also a zipper. He can run faster than us. He might not listen to us. He might want to play with other things."
+
+Anna looked at the dog. The dog looked at Anna. He licked his nose. He seemed nice. Anna smiled. She decided to pet the dog anyway. She hoped the dog would not run away with her. She hoped Ben was wrong. She hoped the dog was not a mighty zipper.

+
+"Look at my dog. He is strong and brave," Tom said.

+But the bird did not listen. The bird did not care. The bird was happy with his nest.

+
+Lily and Tom say, "Yes, Mom, we learned our lesson. We are sorry. We will listen to you next time. Can you read us a story and tuck us in?"

+Anna and Ben were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to make towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. Anna was bossy and always told Ben what to do. She said, "Ben, give me that blue block. I need it for my tower. And don't touch my bridge. It's very pretty."
+
+Ben was sad and bored. He wanted to play with the blocks too, but Anna took all the good ones. He said, "Anna, can I have some blocks? I want to make something too. And your bridge is not pretty. It's boring."
+
+Anna was angry and shouted, "No, you can't have any blocks! They are all mine! And my bridge is not boring, it's amazing! You are just jealous. Go away and leave me alone!"
+
+Ben was hurt and ran away. He went to the living room and found a big blanket. He said, "I don't need blocks. I can make something better with this blanket. I can make a tent and lie inside. It will be cozy and fun."
+
+He put the blanket over the sofa and made a tent. He crawled inside and saw a pattern on the blanket. It had stars and moons and planets. He said, "Wow, this is cool. I can pretend I'm in space. I can be an astronaut and explore the stars."
+
+He was happy and played with his tent. He forgot about Anna and the blocks.
+
+Anna finished her tower and bridge and looked for Ben. She wanted to show him her creations and make him say sorry. She said, "Ben, where are you? Come and see what I made. You have to say they are pretty and amazing."
+
+She searched the room but could not find Ben. She heard a noise from the living room and followed it. She saw the tent and said, "What is this? Is Ben hiding in there? I'll show him who's the boss."
+
+She pulled the blanket and made the tent fall. She saw Ben lying inside and said, "Ha, I found you. You can't hide from me. Look at my tower and bridge. They are better than your tent. Say they are pretty and amazing."
+
+Ben was surprised and angry. He said, "Anna, you are mean. You ruined my tent. I don't want to see your tower and bridge. They are ugly and stupid. Go away and leave me alone."

+Lily had an idea. She grabbed a stick and waved it at Rex. She said in a loud voice, "Rex, surrender! We are the kings of the fort. You are not. Drop the paper and go back to your home. Or we will poke you with the stick!"
+
+Rex looked at Lily and Ben. He saw the stick and heard the words. He was scared. He dropped the paper and ran away. He did not want to be poked.
+
+Lily and Ben cheered. They had saved their fort. They hugged each other and smiled.
+
+"We did it!" Lily said. "We made Rex surrender!"
+
+Ben nodded. "Yes, we did. We are the best kings ever!"
+
+They picked up the paper and fixed their fort. They played some more and had fun. They were happy and proud.
+Tim and Jen liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box. They used the box to make a house, a car, a boat, and anything they wanted. They also liked to order their toys to do things, like a boss.
+
+One day, they found a new toy in the box. It was an old animal. It had fur, but it was gray and thin. It had eyes, but they were dull and sad. It had teeth, but they were yellow and broken. It did not move much, but it made a low sound.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tim said. "It is an old animal. Let's play with it!"
+
+Jen was not sure. She did not like the old animal. It looked sick and sad. She wanted to leave it alone. But Tim was curious. He wanted to order the old animal to do things, like a boss.
+
+"Old animal, sit!" Tim said. He pushed the old animal with his hand. The old animal did not sit. It made a louder sound.
+
+"Old animal, roll!" Tim said. He kicked the old animal with his foot. The old animal did not roll. It made an angry sound.
+
+"Old animal, jump!" Tim said. He hit the old animal with his stick. The old animal did not jump. It made a scary sound.
+
+The old animal had enough. It was not a toy. It was a wolf. It was old and sick, but it was still a wolf. It did not like to be ordered, pushed, kicked, or hit. It liked to bite.
+
+The old animal bit Tim on his arm. Tim screamed. Jen screamed. The old animal ran away. Tim and Jen were left alone, with blood and tears. They learned a hard lesson. They should not order old animals, or any animals, to do things. They should be kind and gentle, or they might get hurt.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They made vroom-vroom noises as they drove their cars on the grass.
+
+"Let's have a race!" Lily said. "My car is faster than yours!"
+
+"OK, let's race to the fence and back!" Ben said. He liked racing with Lily, even though she was bossy sometimes.
+
+They lined up their cars and counted to three. Then they pushed their cars as hard as they could. Lily's car zoomed ahead of Ben's car. She smiled and shouted, "I'm winning, I'm winning!"
+
+Ben tried to catch up with Lily, but his car hit a rock and flipped over. He frowned and picked up his car. He saw that the wheel was bent and the paint was scratched. He felt sad and angry.
+
+"That's not fair!" he said. "Your car is bigger and newer than mine! You cheated!"
+
+"I did not cheat!" Lily said. "You're just a sore loser! My car is better than yours, and I'm better than you!"
+
+She stuck out her tongue at Ben and drove her car back to the fence. Ben felt a surge of rage. He threw his car at Lily's car. His car hit Lily's car with a loud bang. Lily's car flew off the grass and landed on the pavement. It broke into pieces.
+
+Lily gasped and ran to her car. She saw the broken parts and the cracked glass. She felt a sharp pain in her heart. She loved her car. It was her favorite toy. She looked at Ben with tears in her eyes.
+
+"How could you do that?" she said. "You broke my car! You're so mean!"
+
+She picked up a stick and ran towards Ben. She wanted to strike him with the stick. She wanted to make him hurt like she did.
+
+Ben saw Lily coming at him with the stick. He was scared. He didn't mean to break her car. He was sorry. He wanted to say sorry, but he couldn't find the words. He backed away from Lily, but he tripped on a stone and fell to the ground. He closed his eyes and waited for the stick to hit him.
+
+But the stick didn't hit him. He heard a loud voice say, "Stop! What are you doing?"
+
+He opened his eyes and saw his mom standing over him. She had grabbed the stick from Lily's hand. She looked angry and worried.
+
+"Lily, Ben, what is going on here?" she said. "Why are you fighting? Why did you break each other's cars?"
+
+Lily and Ben started to cry. They told their mom what happened. They said they were sorry. They said they didn't want to fight. They said they wanted to be friends.
+
+Their mom sighed and hugged them. She said, "I'm glad you're sorry, but sorry is not enough. You have to make up for what you did. You have to fix each other's cars. You have to share and play nicely. You have to be kind and respectful. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, mom, we understand."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "Good. Now, let's go inside and get some glue and tape. And some cookies and milk. And some rubs and kisses. You both need some love and care."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Yes, mom, we need some love and care."
+
+They followed their mom inside, holding hands. They felt sorry for what they did, but they also felt hopeful. They hoped they could fix their cars and their friendship. They hoped they could have fun and be happy again.
+Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hill of mud. They wanted to climb it and slide down.
+
+They ran to the mud hill and started to climb. They got dirty and wet, but they did not care. They had fun. They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a shiny thing in the mud. It was a knife.
+
+Tom wanted to touch the knife. He thought it was cool. He reached for it with his hand. Sam saw him and said, "No, Tom, don't! That is sharp! It can hurt you!"
+
+But Tom did not listen. He grabbed the knife and pulled it out of the mud. He felt a pain in his hand. He looked and saw blood. He had cut himself with the sharp knife. He screamed and dropped the knife.
+
+Sam ran to him and tried to help him. He wrapped his shirt around Tom's hand. He said, "We need to go to the doctor. Come on, Tom, let's go!"
+
+They ran down the hill and looked for help. They saw a man sitting on a bench. He was bald. He had no hair on his head. He looked mean. He saw them and said, "What are you doing here? Get away from me, you dirty kids!"
+
+Tom and Sam were scared. They did not know what to do. They tried to explain that Tom was hurt and needed help. But the bald man did not care. He said, "I don't care about your problems. Go away or I will call the police!"
+
+He took out his phone and started to dial. Tom and Sam cried. They felt alone and sad. They wished they had never climbed the mud hill. They wished they had never seen the sharp knife. They wished they had a good friend like the bald man.
+Sam liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and shapes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. Sometimes, he pretended to be a mechanic and fix his cars with his tools.
+
+One day, his mom gave him a big surprise. She brought him a new car that was bigger than his other cars. It was red and shiny and had a loud horn. Sam was very happy and thanked his mom. He wanted to play with his new car right away.
+
+But when he tried to make it zoom, it did not move. He pushed it harder, but it still did not move. He looked at the wheels, but they were not broken. He looked at the battery, but it was not empty. He did not know what was wrong with his new car.
+
+He felt sad and angry. He did not like his new car. He threw it on the floor and said, "This car is bad! I don't want it!"
+
+His mom heard him and came to see what was wrong. She saw the new car on the floor and Sam crying. She picked up the car and hugged Sam.
+
+"Sam, what's wrong? Why don't you like your new car?" she asked.
+
+Sam sniffed and said, "It doesn't work! It doesn't zoom! It's a bad car!"
+
+His mom smiled and said, "No, Sam, it's not a bad car. It's a special car. It's a remote control car. You need this to make it zoom." She showed him a small device with buttons and a stick.
+
+Sam looked at the device and said, "What is that?"
+
+His mom said, "This is a remote control. It sends signals to your car. When you press the buttons or move the stick, your car will move too. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Sam nodded and took the remote control. His mom helped him turn it on and showed him how to use it. Sam pressed a button and his car honked. He moved the stick and his car zoomed. He was amazed and happy. He made his car go fast and slow, left and right, forward and backward. He laughed and said, "This car is fun! I like it!"
+
+His mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, Sam. It's a very nice car. But you know what? You have to be careful with it. You have to accept that sometimes it might not work. Maybe the battery will run out, or the signal will be weak, or the car will get stuck. Then you have to be patient and try to fix it. Or you can ask me or a real mechanic for help. Can you do that?"
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I can do that. I can be a good mechanic. And I can be a good driver. Thank you for my new car, mom. I love you!"
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "I love you too, Sam. You're welcome. Now, let's go and play with your new car. And don't forget to share it with your friends!"
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with many ducks. Lily and Ben want to feed the ducks.
+
+"Come, Ben, let's get some bread for the ducks," Lily says.
+
+"OK, Lily, I have some bread in my bag," Ben says.
+
+They run to the pond and break the bread into small pieces. They throw the bread to the ducks. The ducks swim to the bread and eat it. Lily and Ben are happy.
+
+But then, they see something strange in the water. It is not a duck. It is not a fish. It is not a frog. It is a big, green, scaly thing. It has a long tail and sharp teeth. It looks at Lily and Ben and makes a loud noise.
+
+"Roar!"
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They drop the bread and run away.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "It is not ordinary. It is scary."
+
+They run to their mommies and tell them what they saw. Their mommies hug them and say it is OK.
+
+"Maybe it was a crocodile," one mommy says.
+
+"Or a dinosaur," another mommy says.
+
+"Or a monster," Lily and Ben say.
+
+They do not want to go back to the pond. They want to play somewhere else. Somewhere safe. Somewhere ordinary.
+Tom and Mia are new friends. They met at the park. They like to play on the swings and the slide. They have fun together.
+
+One day, Tom sees a big dog at the park. He likes dogs. He wants to say hello to the dog. He runs to the dog and tries to touch it. But the dog does not like Tom. The dog barks and bites Tom's hand. Tom cries. His hand hurts.
+
+Mia hears Tom cry. She runs to him and sees his hand. She feels sorry for Tom. She says, "Are you OK, Tom? Your hand is hurt. You need a band-aid."
+
+Tom says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. The dog is bad. He bit me. I don't like him."
+
+Mia says, "Don't worry, Tom. I will help you. Come with me. I will introduce you to my mom. She is at the bench. She has a band-aid. She will make your hand better."
+
+Tom and Mia go to the bench. Mia introduces Tom to her mom. Her mom is nice. She gives Tom a band-aid and a hug. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. The dog was mean. You are brave. You have a nice friend. Mia is very kind."
+
+Tom smiles. He says, "Thank you, Mia's mom. You are very kind too. Mia is my best friend. We like to play together. Can we play some more?"
+
+Mia's mom says, "Of course, you can. But be careful. Stay away from the dog. He is not friendly. Have fun, kids."
+
+Tom and Mia hug. They go back to the swings and the slide. They have fun together. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cake on a table. It has pink and blue frosting and candles.
+
+"Wow, look at that cake!" Anna says. "It looks yummy!"
+
+"Can we have some?" Ben asks. He is hungry.
+
+They run to the table. But a lady stops them. She is wearing a hat and a dress.
+
+"Stop, children!" she says. "This is not your cake. This is for the fair. The fair is a fun place where people sell things and play games. You have to pay to get a slice of cake."
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They have no money. They want some cake.
+
+"Please, lady, can we have some cake?" Anna begs. "We are very good children. We share and say please and thank you."
+
+The lady looks at them. She sees their big eyes and sweet smiles. She feels sorry for them.
+
+"OK, children, I will give you some cake. But only a little bit. And you have to promise to help me at the fair. You can help me dry the dishes and sweep the floor. Do you agree?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They are happy. They say thank you to the lady. She gives them each a small slice of cake. It is soft and sweet and moist. They eat it slowly and enjoy it.
+
+Then they help the lady at the fair. They dry the dishes and sweep the floor. They also see many other things at the fair. They see balloons and flowers and toys and books. They have fun.
+
+The lady is proud of them. She says they are good helpers. She gives them each a hug and a sticker. She says they can come back to the fair anytime.
+
+Anna and Ben are very happy. They say goodbye to the lady. They run back to their mom and dad. They tell them about the cake and the fair and the lady. They say they had a great day. They are very grateful.
+Lily and Tom were playing outside in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But the sky was getting dark and the wind was getting cold. Lily felt a drop of water on her nose.
+
+"Tom, I think it will rain soon. We should go home," Lily said.
+
+Tom nodded. He did not like rain. It made him wet and sad. He looked for his jacket, but he could not find it. He had left it on the bench.
+
+"Oh no, where is my jacket?" Tom said. He felt scared. He did not want to be cold and wet.
+
+Lily saw his jacket on the bench. She ran to get it. But as she reached for it, a big dog came out of nowhere. It barked loudly and grabbed the jacket in its mouth. It ran away with the jacket.
+
+"Hey, stop! That's my jacket!" Tom shouted. He ran after the dog. But the dog was faster and stronger. It disappeared behind some trees.
+
+Lily followed Tom. She felt sorry for him. She knew he loved his jacket. It was blue and soft and had a picture of a dinosaur on it.
+
+"Tom, I'm sorry. That was a terrible dog. It was mean and rude," Lily said.
+
+Tom was crying. He felt cold and angry. He hugged Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. But I miss my jacket. It was my favorite," Tom said.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea.
+
+"Tom, why don't we share my jacket? It is big and warm and has a picture of a flower on it. We can both fit in it," Lily said.
+
+Tom looked at Lily. He smiled a little.
+
+"Really? You would share your jacket with me?" Tom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She took off her jacket and wrapped it around Tom and herself. They felt cozy and happy.
+
+"Yes, of course. We are friends. And friends help each other," Lily said.
+
+They walked back to their home, holding hands. They hoped the dog would not come back. They hoped the rain would stop. But they did not mind too much. They had each other and a jacket. And that was enough.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big flag on a pole. The flag was red and white and blue. It was very pretty.
+
+"Let's go and touch the flag!" Lily said. She ran to the pole.
+
+"No, Lily, wait!" Ben said. He knew that the flag was not for touching. It was for looking. But Lily did not listen. She was too excited.
+
+Lily reached the pole and grabbed the flag. But she was clumsy. She pulled too hard and the flag came off. It fell to the ground.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. She felt bad. She knew she did something wrong. She regretted touching the flag.
+
+"Look what you did!" Ben said. He was angry and scared. He saw a man coming. The man was wearing a uniform. He looked like he worked at the park.
+
+"Uh-oh," Lily said. She wanted to hide. She did not want the man to see her.
+
+"Hey, you kids!" the man said. He saw the flag on the ground. He was not happy. He picked up the flag and put it back on the pole. He looked at Lily and Ben.
+
+"What were you doing with the flag?" he asked. He sounded stern.
+
+Lily and Ben did not know what to say. They felt sorry. They wanted to say sorry. But they were too afraid.
+
+The man sighed. He saw that they were young and did not know better. He decided to be nice.
+
+"Listen, kids," he said. "The flag is not a toy. It is a symbol. It means something important. You have to respect it. You have to be careful with it. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They learned a lesson.
+
+"OK, then," the man said. "Now go and play somewhere else. And don't touch the flag again."
+
+Lily and Ben said thank you and ran away. They were glad that the man was not angry. They were also glad that they still had each other. They decided to play with something else. Something that was not a flag.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today they want to play music. Lily has a drum and Ben has a flute.
+
+They sit on the grass and make sounds with their toys. Lily bangs the drum with her hands. Ben blows the flute with his mouth. They try to make a song.
+
+"Let's start at the same time," Ben says. "One, two, three, go!"
+
+They start to play. Lily and Ben listen to each other. They make loud and soft sounds. They make fast and slow sounds. They make happy and sad sounds. They play for a long time.
+
+When they finish, they smile at each other. They are proud of their song. They clap their hands and say, "Yay! We did it!"
+
+They hear a voice behind them. It is Lily's mom. She has been watching them play. She claps her hands too and says, "That was a beautiful song! You are very good musicians!"
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They hug their mom and say, "Thank you! We love music!"
+
+They play some more songs. They have fun. They are friends.
+Lila was a little lamb who lived on a farm. She liked to eat wheat and play with her friends. But some of the other lambs were mean to her. They would tease her and call her names. They said she was too small and too white. They made her feel lonely and sad.
+
+One day, a big storm came to the farm. The wind was strong and the rain was heavy. The farmer took all the lambs to the barn, except Lila. He did not see her because she was hiding in the wheat field. She was afraid of the storm and the mean lambs.
+
+The storm got worse and worse. The wheat was wet and cold. Lila was shivering and crying. She wished she had a friend to help her. She wished she was in the barn with the other lambs.
+
+Then she heard a voice. It was Ben, the biggest and brownest lamb. He had seen her in the wheat field and came to look for her. He said, "Lila, are you okay? Come with me to the barn. It is warm and safe there."
+
+Lila was surprised and happy. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. Why are you helping me? The other lambs are mean to me. They tease me and call me names."
+
+Ben said, "I am sorry, Lila. I was wrong to tease you. You are a good lamb. You are not too small or too white. You are just right. I want to be your friend. Will you forgive me?"
+
+Lila smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, I forgive you, Ben. I want to be your friend too. Let's go to the barn together."
+
+They ran to the barn and joined the other lambs. The storm was over and the sun came out. Lila and Ben were happy and warm. They ate wheat and played with their friends. They learned to be nice and respectful to each other. They learned that teasing is not fun and that being lonely is not fun. They learned that friendship is the best thing in the world.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to draw with ink and paper. Sara has a red ink and Tom has a blue ink. They share their ink and paper and make nice pictures.
+
+One day, Sara and Tom find a new ink in the art room. It is green and shiny. Sara and Tom both want to use it. They say, "I want the green ink! It is mine!"
+
+They pull the ink from each other. The ink falls on the floor and breaks. The green ink spills everywhere. Sara and Tom are sad and angry. They say, "You broke the ink! It is your fault!"
+
+Miss Lee is their teacher. She hears the noise and comes to the art room. She sees the mess and the broken ink. She says, "What happened here? Who broke the ink?"
+
+Sara and Tom point at each other. They say, "He did it! She did it!"
+
+Miss Lee says, "Stop! You are both wrong. The ink is not yours. It is the art room's ink. You have to share it with everyone. You have to be gentle with the ink and the paper. You have to say sorry to each other and to the art room."
+
+Sara and Tom feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Miss Lee. Sorry, art room. Sorry, friend."
+
+Miss Lee says, "That's good. Now, let's clean up the mess and make new pictures. You can use the red ink and the blue ink. And next time, you can ask me if you can use the green ink."
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They help Miss Lee clean up the mess. They use the red ink and the blue ink and make new pictures. They share their ink and paper and make nice pictures. They are friends again.
+Sam and Ben are friends who like to play with planes. They have many planes, big and small, that they fly in the air. One day, they see a new plane in the toy store. It is very big and shiny, and it has a pilot inside. The pilot can talk and move, and he wears a hat and a suit.
+
+"Wow, look at that plane!" Sam says. "It is so cool! I want it!"
+
+"Me too!" Ben says. "But it is very expensive. We don't have enough money."
+
+They look at the price tag. It says fifty dollars. That is more than they have in their piggy banks.
+
+"Maybe we can ask our parents to buy it for us," Sam says.
+
+"Or maybe we can save our money and buy it later," Ben says.
+
+They think for a while. Then they see another plane in the toy store. It is very small and plain, and it has no pilot inside. It is made of cheap plastic, and it looks old and broken. But it is only one dollar.
+
+"Hey, look at that plane!" Sam says. "It is so cheap! We can buy it now!"
+
+"Really?" Ben says. "But it is so ugly and boring. It has no pilot, and it can't talk or move. It is not fun at all."
+
+"Who cares?" Sam says. "It is a plane, and we can fly it. Come on, let's buy it!"
+
+Sam grabs the cheap plane and runs to the cashier. He pays one dollar and gets the plane. He is very happy. He runs outside and throws the plane in the air. But the plane is so light and weak, that it falls down and breaks. Sam is very sad. He looks at his plane, and he sees that it is not a plane at all. It is a piece of junk.
+
+"Look what you did!" Ben says. "You wasted your money on a cheap plane that can't fly. You should have listened to me. We should have waited and bought the big plane with the pilot. It is much better and more fun."
+
+"I'm sorry," Sam says. "You are right. I was too impatient and greedy. I wanted a plane so badly, that I didn't care about the quality. I learned my lesson. Next time, I will save my money and buy something good and lasting."
+
+Sam and Ben hug and make up. They go back to their homes and play with their old planes. They are still happy, because they have each other and their imagination. They decide to save their money and buy the big plane with the pilot someday. They know that good things come to those who wait.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be fooled by cheap and flashy things. They may look good, but they are not worth it. Be patient and wise, and choose quality over quantity. You will be happier and more satisfied in the long run.
+Sara and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big purse on a bench. It was pink and shiny. Sara liked it very much.
+
+"Look, Lily, a purse!" Sara said. "Can I have it?"
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, Sara, that is not your purse. That is someone else's purse. We should not touch it."
+
+But Sara did not listen. She ran to the bench and grabbed the purse. She opened it and saw many things inside. There was a wallet, a phone, a lipstick, and a key.
+
+"Wow, so many things!" Sara said. "I want to keep them. They are mine now."
+
+Lily was scared. She followed Sara and tried to stop her. "No, Sara, no! You cannot keep them. They are not yours. You are being bad. Put the purse back. What if the owner comes back and sees you?"
+
+Sara did not care. She was having fun. She took out the lipstick and drew on her face. She took out the phone and threw it on the ground. She took out the key and scratched the bench. She made everything dirty.
+
+Lily was sad. She did not like what Sara was doing. She did not want to play with her anymore. She ran away and looked for their mom.
+
+Soon, the owner of the purse came back. She was a lady with long hair and a nice dress. She saw Sara with her purse and got very angry.
+
+"Hey, you little thief! What are you doing with my purse? How dare you ruin my things? Give it back to me right now!" she yelled.
+
+Sara was scared. She dropped the purse and ran away. She looked for Lily and their mom. She was sorry for what she did. She learned a lesson. She should not take things that are not hers. She should not make things dirty. She should listen to Lily. She should be good.
+One day, a boy and a girl went to the park with their mom. They saw a big black bird on a tree. It was a raven. The boy wanted to touch the raven, but the girl said no.
+
+"Don't touch the raven, it can bite you!" the girl said.
+
+"But I want to see its feathers, they are shiny!" the boy said.
+
+The boy tried to climb the tree, but the raven saw him and flew away. The boy was sad. He saw a flower on the ground and picked it up. He wanted to give it to the raven.
+
+"Maybe the raven will like this flower, it is pretty!" the boy said.
+
+He ran after the raven, but the raven was too fast. The boy tripped and fell. He cut his knee on a rock. He cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow, it hurts!" the boy said.
+
+The girl and the mom heard him and ran to him. They saw his knee bleeding. The mom took a band-aid from her bag and put it on his knee.
+
+"It's okay, it's just a small cut. It will heal soon. You are a brave boy!" the mom said.
+
+She hugged him and kissed his cheek. The girl gave him a hug too.
+
+"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you fall. I just wanted to protect you from the raven. It is not a nice bird, it is mean and greedy. It doesn't care about flowers, it only cares about food." the girl said.
+
+The boy smiled and said, "It's okay, I forgive you. You are a good sister. And you are right, the raven is not a nice bird. But it is a healthy bird, it can fly and run and sing. Maybe it is happy in its own way."
+
+The mom smiled and said, "You are both very smart and kind. I love you both. Now let's go home and have some cookies. How does that sound?"
+
+The boy and the girl nodded and said, "Yes, please!"
+
+They held hands and walked with their mom. They left the raven behind, but they didn't mind. They had each other, and that was enough.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to swim in the pool. They play a game. Who can dive deeper and find the blue ball?
+
+Lily goes first. She takes a big breath and dives into the water. She opens her eyes and sees the blue ball at the bottom. She swims fast and grabs it. She comes up and shows Sam.
+
+"Look, I found it!" she says.
+
+Sam claps. "Good job, Lily! Now it's my turn."
+
+Sam dives into the water. He looks for the blue ball, but he can't see it. He swims around and around, but he can't find it. He feels sad. He comes up and shakes his head.
+
+"I can't find it," he says.
+
+Lily smiles. "Don't worry, Sam. Maybe the ball is hiding. Let's try again."
+
+She throws the ball back into the water. She and Sam dive together. They swim side by side and look for the blue ball. They see it shining in the sun. They both reach for it at the same time. They touch it together.
+
+"We found it!" they say.
+
+They come up and hug. They are happy. They share the blue ball and the win. They are good friends. They love to swim and dive.
+Tom and Mia are playing with their toy cars. They like to make them go fast and make loud noises. But then, Tom's car stops moving. He tries to push it, but it does not work.
+
+"Tom, what is wrong with your car?" Mia asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it needs a new battery," Tom says.
+
+"What is a battery?" Mia wonders.
+
+Tom shows her a small thing that looks like a stick. It has two ends, one with a plus and one with a minus.
+
+"A battery is something that makes your car go. It has power inside. But sometimes, it runs out of power and you need to change it," Tom explains.
+
+"That sounds interesting. How do you change it?" Mia asks.
+
+Tom flips his car over and opens a small door. He takes out the old battery and puts in a new one. He closes the door and flips his car back.
+
+"Like this. Now, let's see if it works," Tom says.
+
+He turns on his car and it starts moving again. He smiles and makes it go fast.
+
+"Wow, it works! You are so smart, Tom," Mia says.
+
+"Thank you, Mia. Do you want to try?" Tom offers.
+
+"Yes, please. Can I have your car?" Mia asks.
+
+"Sure, you can have it. But you have to sit next to me and share," Tom says.
+
+"OK, I will sit next to you and share. Thank you, Tom. You are so nice," Mia says.
+
+They sit next to each other and play with their cars. They have fun and learn something new. They are happy.
+One day, a boy and his mom went to the zoo. The boy liked to see the animals, but he was scared of some of them. He held his mom's hand very tight when they walked by the lions and the snakes.
+
+"Mom, can we go see the monkeys?" the boy asked. He liked the monkeys because they were funny and friendly.
+
+"Sure, honey, let's go see the monkeys," his mom said. They walked to the monkey cage and saw many monkeys swinging and jumping on the trees. The boy smiled and waved at the monkeys.
+
+One monkey saw the boy and came closer to the cage. He reached out his hand and grabbed the boy's hat. The boy was surprised and tried to get his hat back, but the monkey was too fast. He put the hat on his head and made a funny face.
+
+"Hey, that's my hat!" the boy shouted. He was angry and sad. He liked his hat very much. He looked at his mom for help.
+
+"Don't worry, sweetie, we'll get your hat back," his mom said. She called a zookeeper and told him what happened. The zookeeper came with a banana and gave it to the monkey. The monkey liked the banana and dropped the hat. The zookeeper picked up the hat and gave it back to the boy.
+
+"Thank you, mister," the boy said. He was happy and relieved. He put his hat back on his head and hugged his mom. He squeezed her very hard and said, "I love you, mom."
+
+"I love you too, honey," his mom said. She squeezed him back and kissed his cheek. They thanked the zookeeper again and waved goodbye to the monkey. The boy and his mom had a fun day at the zoo.
+Lily and Tom like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite ones are the soldiers. The soldiers are small and green and have guns and hats. Lily and Tom pretend that the soldiers are in a war and make noises like bang and boom.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom find a new soldier in their toy box. The soldier is big and red and has a sword and a cape. He looks different from the other soldiers. Lily and Tom are curious and want to play with him.
+
+"Hello, soldier," Lily says. "What is your name?"
+
+The soldier does not answer. He does not move or blink. He just stares at Lily and Tom.
+
+"Maybe he is shy," Tom says. "Or maybe he is a fake soldier."
+
+"A fake soldier?" Lily asks. "What is that?"
+
+"A fake soldier is not a real soldier," Tom explains. "He is just a toy that looks like a soldier. He cannot talk or fight or do anything."
+
+Lily and Tom are disappointed. They do not like fake soldiers. They like real soldiers who can talk and play with them.
+
+"Let's put him back in the toy box," Lily says. "He is boring."
+
+"Okay," Tom agrees. "Maybe we can find a real soldier next time."
+
+They take the fake soldier and put him back in the toy box. They pick up their green soldiers and start to play again. They make noises like bang and boom and have fun.
+Anna liked to play the violin. She had a small violin that her mom gave her. She learned how to make nice sounds with it. She played every day in her room.
+
+But her brother Tom did not like the violin. He thought it was too loud and too boring. He liked to play with his cars and trucks. He did not want to hear Anna's music.
+
+One day, Anna was playing the violin in her room. She was happy and proud. She wanted to show her mom what she learned. But Tom came into her room. He saw the violin and he wanted to tease Anna.
+
+He grabbed the violin from Anna's hands. He said, "This is not a violin, this is a stick. You can't play music with a stick. You are silly and bad. Give me your violin and play with my cars."
+
+Anna was very sad and angry. She tried to get her violin back. She said, "No, Tom, this is my violin. I love my violin. You are mean and rude. Give me my violin and go away."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran away with the violin. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, I have your violin. You can't catch me. You can't play music. You are a baby."
+
+Anna cried and cried. She felt hurt and lonely. She wanted her violin and her mom. She did not like Tom. She did not want to play with him. She wished he would stop teasing her.
+Tom and Anna liked to go to the mall with their mom. They liked to see the big toys, the colorful clothes, and the yummy food. Sometimes, they got to play in the fun zone, where there were slides, balls, and cars.
+
+One day, they saw a new game in the fun zone. It was a big machine with a screen and a gun. The screen showed bad guys and good guys. The gun could shoot the bad guys and make them fall. Tom and Anna wanted to try the game.
+
+"Mom, can we play the game?" Tom asked.
+
+"OK, but only for a little while. And be careful with the gun. It is not a real gun, but it can still hurt someone if you are not careful." Mom said.
+
+Tom and Anna nodded and ran to the game. They took turns to hold the gun and shoot the bad guys. They felt very brave and strong. They made loud noises and cheered when they hit the bad guys.
+
+The game was incredible. They had so much fun. They forgot about the time and the other things in the mall.
+
+"Tom, Anna, it is time to go. We have to buy some things and go home." Mom called.
+
+"Aw, mom, can we play a little more?" Tom begged.
+
+"Please, mom, just one more round?" Anna pleaded.
+
+"No, you have played enough. Come on, let's go." Mom said.
+
+Tom and Anna sighed and put down the gun. They followed Mom to the exit. They looked back at the game and smiled. They hoped they could play it again soon.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toy trucks. They had a big pile of sand in their backyard, where they made a pit. They used their shovels to load sand into their trucks and then drove them around.
+
+One day, it was very gloomy outside. The sky was gray and it looked like it would rain soon. Tim and Sam still wanted to play with their trucks, but their mom said they had to stay inside.
+
+"Mom, please let us play outside!" Tim begged. "We want to load our trucks with sand!"
+
+"No, Tim, it's too cold and wet. You might get sick or dirty. You can play with your trucks inside. I have some books and puzzles for you too." Mom said.
+
+"But mom, it's not fun to play with trucks inside. There's no pit, no sand, no hills. It's boring!" Sam complained.
+
+Mom sighed. She knew her boys loved their trucks, but she also wanted them to be safe and warm. She had an idea.
+
+"How about this? You can play with your trucks in the basement. There's a big box of old clothes and blankets there. You can use them to make a pit, a hill, a bridge, or anything you want. You can load your trucks with clothes and blankets instead of sand. It will be like a pretend adventure. What do you think?" Mom suggested.
+
+Tim and Sam looked at each other. They thought mom's idea sounded fun. They agreed to try it.
+
+"Okay, mom, we'll play in the basement. Thank you!" Tim said.
+
+"Thank you, mom. Can we have some cookies too?" Sam asked.
+
+Mom smiled. She gave them some cookies and milk and then helped them carry their trucks and shovels to the basement. She watched them play happily with their clothes and blankets, loading and unloading their trucks, making noises and stories. She was glad they could have fun even on a gloomy day.
+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 rocks for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+"Look at our snowman!" Lila said. "He is so big and nice. He is mine!"
+
+"No, he is mine!" Ben said. "I made his hat and scarf. You only made his nose and eyes. Give me the carrot!"
+
+Ben tried to pull the carrot from the snowman's nose. Lila tried to stop him. They both pulled hard. The snowman's head fell off.
+
+"Oh no!" Lila cried. "You broke our snowman! He is gone!"
+
+"I'm sorry!" Ben said. "I didn't mean to. It was an accident. Don't be sad."
+
+Ben tried to comfort Lila. He hugged her and said he was sorry. But Lila was very angry. She pushed him away. She picked up a big ball of snow and threw it at him.
+
+"Ow!" Ben yelled. "That hurt! Why did you do that? You are mean!"
+
+Lila picked up another ball of snow and threw it at him. Ben dodged it and threw one back at her. They started a snowball fight. They threw snow at each other. They yelled and cried. They forgot about the snowman.
+
+The snowman's body was still standing. But he had no head. He had no nose. He had no eyes. He had no hat. He had no scarf. He was cold and lonely. He wished he had friends. He wished he could smile. He wished he could melt. He was very sad. The end.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a bike and a scooter that they shared. They also had a helmet that they wore when they rode. The helmet was blue and had a star on it.
+
+One day, a man came to their house. He had a big truck with many things inside. He was selling the things to people who wanted them. He saw Ben and Lily playing with their bike and scooter. He smiled and said, "Hello, kids. Do you want to see what I have in my truck?"
+
+Ben and Lily ran to the truck. They saw toys, books, clothes, and other things. They liked the things, but they did not have money to buy them. The man said, "You have a nice helmet there. How about I trade you something for it?"
+
+Ben and Lily looked at their helmet. They liked their helmet, but they also liked the things in the truck. They did not know what to do. They asked each other, "Should we sell our helmet?"
+
+Lily said, "No, we need our helmet. It keeps our head safe when we ride. We do not want to get hurt."
+
+Ben said, "But look at that car. It is red and shiny. It can go fast and make noises. It is wild. I want it."
+
+Lily said, "But we only have one helmet. If we sell it, we cannot share our bike and scooter. We will have to take turns. That is not fun."
+
+Ben said, "But we can share the car. We can both play with it. It is more fun than our bike and scooter."
+
+Lily said, "No, it is not. Our bike and scooter are more fun. They can go on the grass and the dirt. They can make us strong and happy. The car can only go on the road. It needs batteries and can break."
+
+Ben and Lily argued for a while. They could not agree. The man watched them and waited. He said, "Come on, kids. Make up your mind. I have other people to sell to."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They looked at their helmet. They looked at the car. They looked at the man. They thought hard. Then they said together, "No, thank you. We do not want to sell our helmet. We like our helmet. It is ours."
+
+The man shrugged and said, "Okay, suit yourself. Have a nice day." He drove away with his truck.
+
+Ben and Lily hugged each other. They put on their helmet. They rode their bike and scooter. They had fun. They were happy. They did not need the car. They had each other.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked like fun. They ran to the slide and waited for their turn.
+
+"Can I go first?" Tim asked.
+
+"No, I want to go first!" Lily said.
+
+They started to argue, but then they saw a man with a funny hat and sunglasses. He was bald and had a big smile. He waved at them and said, "Hello, kids! Do you want to try my slide?"
+
+Tim and Lily stopped arguing and looked at the man. He seemed nice, but his slide was different. It was very long and had many twists and turns. It also had a sign that said, "Beware of the snake!"
+
+"What snake?" Tim asked.
+
+The man laughed and said, "Oh, don't worry. It's just a toy snake. It makes the slide more exciting. Do you want to see?"
+
+He took off his hat and sunglasses and showed them his toy snake. It was green and rubbery and had a red tongue. It looked scary, but it was harmless.
+
+"Wow!" Tim and Lily said.
+
+The man put his hat and sunglasses back on and said, "Come on, follow me. I'll show you how to slide."
+
+He climbed up the ladder and went to the top of the slide. He held the toy snake in his hand and said, "Ready, set, go!"
+
+He slid down the slide, holding the toy snake in front of him. He made hissing noises and waved the snake around. He looked like he was having fun.
+
+Tim and Lily watched him and clapped. They wanted to try too. They climbed up the ladder and went to the top of the slide. They saw the toy snake lying on the ground. The man had left it there for them.
+
+"Can I hold it?" Tim asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Lily said.
+
+Tim picked up the toy snake and held it in his hand. He felt brave and said, "Ready, set, go!"
+
+He slid down the slide, holding the toy snake in front of him. He made hissing noises and waved the snake around. He looked like he was having fun.
+
+Lily followed him and slid down the slide. She screamed and laughed. She looked like she was having fun too.
+
+But then, something went wrong. The toy snake slipped out of Tim's hand and flew into the air. It landed on the man's head, who was waiting for them at the bottom of the slide.
+
+The man felt something on his head and thought it was a real snake. He screamed and jumped. He threw his hat and sunglasses away and ran. He looked very scared.
+
+Tim and Lily saw what happened and stopped. They realized it was a mistake and felt sorry. They wanted to say sorry, but the man was gone.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "Oops!"
+
+They picked up the toy snake and the hat and sunglasses. They decided to crawl away and find another slide. They hoped the man would come back and forgive them. They learned a lesson: never play with toy snakes on slides.
+Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big gray mailbox near their house. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it and see!" Ben said.
+
+"OK!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the mailbox and pulled the handle. It was hard to open, but they did it. They looked inside and saw many letters and packages.
+
+"Wow! Look at all these!" Ben said. He took out a letter with a shiny sticker on it. "This one is for me!"
+
+"No, it's not! It's for someone else!" Lily said. She grabbed the letter from Ben. "Give it back!"
+
+They started to fight over the letter. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the big truck that was coming down the road. The truck was very fast and loud. It did not see the children either.
+
+The driver of the truck tried to stop, but it was too late. He hit the mailbox with a big crash. The mailbox flew in the air and landed on Ben and Lily. They were crushed by the heavy metal. They did not laugh anymore. They did not say anything anymore. They were gone.
+
+The driver of the truck got out and saw what he had done. He was very sad and scared. He called for help, but it was too late. He wished he could go back in time and change what happened. But he could not.
+
+The end.

+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. One day, they see a big spider on the ceiling. Sara is scared. She says, "Ben, look! A spider! It is big and black and has many legs. I do not like it!"
+
+Ben is brave. He says, "Do not worry, Sara. I will get it. I have a broom. I can reach the ceiling with the broom. Then I can make the spider go away." He walks to the closet and takes the broom. He walks back to the bed and stands on it. He lifts the broom and tries to touch the spider.
+
+But the spider is fast. It moves to another spot on the ceiling. Ben follows it with the broom. He swings the broom hard. He misses the spider. He hits the ceiling fan. The fan turns on. It makes a loud noise. It blows air and dust. It makes the room smelly.
+
+Sara and Ben cover their ears and noses. They say, "Oh no! The fan is on! The room is smelly! What do we do?" They jump off the bed and run to the door. They open the door and walk out. They call for their mom. They say, "Mom, help! There is a spider and a fan and a smell in our room!"
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see. She sees the spider, the fan and the smell. She says, "Oh dear! What a mess! How did this happen?" She turns off the fan and gets a paper towel.

Let's work together."

+Anna is still sad. She does not want to rest. She wants yogurt. She says, "But I love yogurt. I want yogurt." She cries some more.
+
+Her mom sighs. She says, "Anna, I love you, but you need to stop crying. Crying will not make yogurt appear. Crying will only make you feel worse. You need to be patient and wait. We will get some yogurt later, okay?"
+
+But Anna does not say okay. She does not stop crying. She cries until she falls asleep. She dreams of yogurt. She wakes up and cries again. She does not have a good day. She does not have yogurt. She is not happy.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a candle in a drawer and decided to light it with a match. They thought it was funny to see the flame flicker and make shadows on the wall.
+
+"Look, Anna, the candle is like a dancer!" Ben said, making the candle move up and down.
+
+"Yes, Ben, and the shadows are like its friends!" Anna said, clapping her hands.
+
+They did not know that playing with fire was dangerous. They did not see that the candle was too close to the curtain. Soon, the curtain caught fire and made a lot of smoke and heat.
+
+"Help, help!" Anna and Ben cried, scared and coughing.
+
+Their mom heard their cries and ran to their room. She saw the fire and quickly grabbed a blanket and threw it over the curtain. She put out the fire and opened the window to let the smoke out.
+
+"Anna, Ben, are you okay?" she asked, hugging them.
+
+"We are sorry, mom, we did not mean to start a fire," Anna and Ben said, sobbing.
+
+"Thank God you are safe, but you should never play with fire, candles, or matches. They are not toys, they are very dangerous. They can burn you, your clothes, or your house. You could have been hurt or worse," mom said, sternly.
+
+"We understand, mom, we will never do it again," Anna and Ben said, sincerely.
+
+They learned their lesson and apologized to their mom. They also thanked her for saving them and their home. They gave her a big hug and a kiss. Then, they bowed to the candle and said, "Goodbye, candle, you are not a dancer, you are a fire-maker. We will not play with you anymore."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's right, candles are for special occasions, not for games. Now, let's go and have some cookies and milk. You need to calm down and rest."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and followed their mom. They were glad that they had a mom who loved them and protected them. They also learned to be careful and respectful with fire. They realized that fire was not funny, but scary.

+Lily reaches out her hand and touches the horse's nose. The horse is soft and warm. Lily smiles and says, "You are a nice horse. Do you like books?" The horse nods and makes another noise. Lily thinks the horse is saying yes.
+
+Lily runs back to her mom and dad. She gets her book bag and takes out a book. It is a book about horses. She shows it to the horse. The horse looks at the book and makes a happy noise. Lily thinks the horse is saying thank you.
+
+Lily sits down next to the horse and opens the book. She reads the book to the horse. The horse listens and looks at the pictures. Lily and the horse have fun reading together. Lily thinks the horse is very smart. She gives the horse a hug and says, "You are my friend. I like you." The horse hugs her back and says, "I like you too."
+Tom and Lily wanted to go to the store with Mom. They liked to see the toys and the books and the candy. But Mom said they had to be quiet and patient in the store, because there were many people and things there.
+
+"Okay, Mom, we will be good," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the store. Mom parked the car and took their hands. They walked to the door of the store. There was a big sign that said "Please be silent". Tom and Lily wondered what that meant.
+
+"Mom, what does silent mean?" Tom asked.
+
+"It means you have to be very quiet and not make any noise," Mom said. "Some people in the store need silence to work or to think or to relax."
+
+"Why do they need silence, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sometimes silence helps people to focus or to calm down or to enjoy something," Mom said. "Silence can be nice, too. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They wanted to try silence. They followed Mom into the store and did not say anything. They looked at the toys and the books and the candy with their eyes, but they did not touch them with their hands. They saw other people in the store who were also silent. They smiled at them with their mouths, but they did not talk to them with their voices.
+
+Tom and Lily were quiet and patient in the store. They liked silence. They thought it was fun and different. They were proud of themselves for being good. Mom was happy, too. She gave them a hug and a kiss and said they could choose one thing each from the store.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Tom and Lily said. They broke the silence, but only for a moment. They chose their things and went back to the car. They talked and laughed and sang on the way home. They liked noise, too. They thought it was fun and normal. They were happy to have both silence and noise in their lives.
+Tim and Jen were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, it was very cold. Tim wore a coat. Jen did not have a coat.
+
+"Jen, you need a coat. You will be cold," Tim said.
+
+"I don't have a coat. My mom said we have no money for a coat," Jen said. She shivered.
+
+Tim felt sad for Jen. He had an idea. He saw a big pile of leaves. He said, "Let's make a coat from the leaves. It will be fun and warm."
+
+Jen smiled. She liked Tim's idea. They ran to the pile of leaves. They picked up many leaves. They put them on Jen's arms and back. They made a coat from the leaves.
+
+"Look at me, Tim. I have a coat. It is unusual, but I like it," Jen said. She twirled around.
+
+Tim laughed. He said, "You look great, Jen. You have a coat. It is unusual, but I like it too."
+
+They hugged. They were happy.
+
+But then, a big wind came. It blew very hard. It blew away the leaves. Jen's coat was gone. She was cold again.
+
+She cried. She said, "Tim, my coat is gone. I am cold. I want a coat."
+
+Tim sighed. He said, "I'm sorry, Jen. I tried to help you. But the wind was stronger. I don't have another coat for you."
+
+They were sad. They walked home. They had no coat. They had no fun. They had a bad day.
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big rock with a shiny gem inside. They wanted to take the gem home.
+
+"Look, a gem!" Tim said. "Let's get it out."
+
+They tried to break the rock with sticks and stones, but it was too hard. They looked around and saw a hammer near a fence. It belonged to a man who was fixing the fence.
+
+"Let's use the hammer," Mia said. "But be quick. The man might see us."
+
+They ran to the hammer and took it. They ran back to the rock and hit it with the hammer. The rock cracked and the gem fell out. It was red and sparkly.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Tim said. "Let's go home and show Mom and Dad."
+
+They put the gem in their pocket and ran to the gate. But the man saw them and shouted.
+
+"Hey, you kids! Stop! That's my hammer! And that's my gem! Give them back!"
+
+The man ran after them. He was big and angry. Tim and Mia were scared. They tried to escape, but the gate was locked. They had no way out.
+
+The man caught them and grabbed the hammer and the gem. He was very mad. He yelled at them and said they were bad and naughty. He said he would call their parents and the police. He said they would be in big trouble.
+
+Tim and Mia cried. They were wet from the rain and the sweat. They wished they never saw the gem. They wished they never took the hammer. They wished they could go home. But they couldn't. They were stuck. They were sorry.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play outside with their bikes. One day, they see a new street near their house. It is very wide and has no cars.
+
+"Can we go there?" Ben asks Mia.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask Mom first," Mia says.
+
+They ride their bikes back to their house and find Mom in the kitchen. She is making cookies.
+
+"Mom, can we play on the new street?" Ben asks.
+
+"Which street?" Mom asks.
+
+"The wide one with no cars. It looks fun," Mia says.
+
+Mom thinks for a moment. She looks out the window and sees the new street. It is part of a construction site.
+
+"No, you can't play there. It is not safe. There might be big machines or sharp things. You can play on our street or in the park, but not on the new street," Mom says.
+
+Ben and Mia feel sad. They wanted to explore the new street. But they know Mom is right. They don't want to get hurt.
+
+"Okay, Mom. We will play on our street. Can we have some cookies?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, you can have some cookies. But wash your hands first. And be careful on your bikes," Mom says.
+
+Ben and Mia wash their hands and eat some cookies. Then they go back outside and play on their street. They have fun with their bikes and their friends. They forget about the new street. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toy cars and trucks. One day, they find a big bottle of oil in the garage. They think it is water and pour it on the floor.
+
+"Look, Lily, we can make a lake for our boats!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, Tom, and we can slide on it too!" Lily says.
+
+They put their toy boats on the oil and push them around. Then they try to slide on the oil, but they slip and fall. They get oil on their clothes and hair. They start to cry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the garage. She sees the mess and the oil. She is angry and sad.
+
+"Tom and Lily, what have you done? This is not water, this is oil! It is dirty and dangerous. You could have hurt yourselves. And you have ruined your clothes and the floor. How could you be so naughty?" Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily feel sorry and scared. They run to Mom and hug her.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We did not know it was oil. We just wanted to play. Please do not be mad at us. We love you." Tom and Lily say.
+
+Mom hugs them back. She is still angry, but she loves them too.
+
+"I love you too, Tom and Lily. But you have to be more careful and listen to me. Oil is not for playing. It is for cars and machines. And you have to clean up this mess. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and wash the oil off. Then we will find some light and clean clothes for you. And then we will talk about how to fix the floor." Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily nod and follow Mom. They are glad that Mom is not too mad at them. They hope that the oil will come off easily. They do not want to play with oil again. They prefer water and soap.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. One day, they saw a big tree with many acorns on the ground. Lily and Ben wanted to collect the acorns and make a pile.
+
+"Look, Ben, acorns!" Lily said. "Let's pick them up and put them here."
+
+"OK, Lily, that sounds fun," Ben said. They started to gather the acorns and put them in a pile. They found big ones, small ones, round ones and pointy ones. They were happy.
+
+But then, a squirrel came and saw the acorns. The squirrel liked acorns too. He wanted to take them and hide them for winter. He ran to the pile and started to grab the acorns with his paws and teeth.
+
+"Hey, squirrel, stop!" Lily said. "Those are our acorns. We found them first."
+
+"Please, squirrel, leave some for us," Ben said. "We just want to play with them."
+
+The squirrel looked at Lily and Ben. He saw that they were sad. He did not want to make them sad. He liked to play too. He thought for a moment. Then, he had an idea.
+
+"OK, OK, I will share," the squirrel said. "But only if you play with me too. We can make a game with the acorns. How about that?"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They liked the squirrel's idea. They agreed to play with him. They took turns to throw the acorns, catch them, roll them and stack them. They had fun. They were happy. The squirrel was happy too. He made new friends. And he still got to keep some acorns for winter.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toy animals in the garden. They had a lion, a bear, a dove and a frog. They liked to make them talk and pretend they were friends.
+
+"Hello, lion, I am dove. Do you want to fly with me?" Anna said, holding the dove.
+
+"No, thank you, dove. I am too big and heavy to fly. I like to roar and run," Ben said, holding the lion.
+
+They made the lion and the dove talk for a while, then they switched to the bear and the frog.
+
+"Hello, bear, I am frog. Do you want to hop with me?" Ben said, holding the frog.
+
+"No, thank you, frog. I am too furry and warm to hop. I like to growl and sleep," Anna said, holding the bear.
+
+They made the bear and the frog talk for a while, then they heard their mom calling them.
+
+"Anna, Ben, it's time to go inside. Come on, hurry up," mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben ran to mom, but they forgot to bring their toy animals. They left them on the grass.
+
+The toy animals were sad and lonely. They wanted to be with Anna and Ben. They were worried that they would be lost or hurt.
+
+"Where are Anna and Ben? Why did they leave us?" the dove asked.
+
+"I don't know, dove. Maybe they will come back soon," the lion said.
+
+"I hope so, lion. I miss them," the dove said.
+
+They cuddled together and waited for Anna and Ben to return.
+Tim and Mia are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. Some are big and some are small.
+
+Tim finds a cube that is huge. It is bigger than his head. It is red and shiny. He feels happy and excited. He wants to show Mia his cube.
+
+"Look, Mia, look!" he says. "I have a huge cube! It is so cool!"
+
+Mia looks at Tim's cube. She feels curious and surprised. She has never seen such a big cube before. She wants to touch it and see how it feels.
+
+"Wow, Tim, your cube is huge!" she says. "Can I hold it, please?"
+
+Tim nods and gives Mia his cube. Mia holds it with both hands. It is heavy and smooth. She feels proud and amazed. She likes Tim's cube.
+
+"Thank you, Tim, your cube is awesome!" she says. "Can we share it and play together?"
+
+Tim smiles and hugs Mia. He feels happy and friendly. He likes Mia and he likes to share.
+
+"Yes, Mia, we can share it and play together!" he says. "We are good friends!"
+Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for shiny things. One day, they found a big gem in the grass. It was red and sparkly.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lila said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can I see it?" Sam asked.
+
+"Sure, but you have to promise to give it back," Lila said.
+
+"I promise," Sam said. He took the gem and held it in his hand. He liked how it felt and how it glowed in the sun.
+
+They played with the gem for a while, then it was time to go home. Lila reached out her hand and said, "Can I have the gem back, please?"
+
+Sam hesitated. He wanted to keep the gem for himself. He thought of a lie. "I lost it," he said. "It fell out of my hand and rolled away. I'm sorry."
+
+Lila was sad and angry. She knew Sam was lying. She saw the gem in his pocket. She felt betrayed by her friend. She said, "You are not sorry. You are not a good friend. You broke your promise. I don't want to play with you anymore." She ran away, crying.
+
+Sam felt guilty and ashamed. He realized he had hurt Lila and lost her trust. He wished he had kept his promise and given the gem back. He learned that being greedy and dishonest was not worth losing a friend. He decided to say sorry to Lila and give her the gem back. He hoped she would forgive him and be his friend again. He learned that a promise is a big word that means you have to do what you say.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in their big building. Sometimes they went up and down in the elevator, which was a box with buttons and doors. They liked to press the buttons and see the numbers change.
+
+One day, they met a new boy in the elevator. He had a big hat and a loud voice. He said his name was Sam and he was four years old. He looked at Ben and Lily and said, "You are ignorant. You don't know anything. I know everything. I am smarter than you."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sad and angry. They did not like Sam. They wanted to say something, but they did not know what. They looked at each other and held hands.
+
+The elevator stopped at their floor and the doors opened. Ben and Lily ran out of the elevator and into their home. They slammed the door behind them.
+
+Sam stayed in the elevator and pressed more buttons. He laughed and said, "I am the best. I don't need anyone. I can do whatever I want."
+
+But then the elevator stopped again and the doors did not open. Sam looked at the buttons and the numbers. He did not know what to do. He felt scared and alone. He wished he had someone to help him.
+
+He heard a voice from outside the elevator. It was Ben and Lily's mom. She said, "Hello, are you okay? Do you need help? I called the elevator man. He will come soon and fix the elevator. Don't worry."
+
+Sam felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he was rude and mean to Ben and Lily. He wished he had been nicer to them. He said, "I'm sorry. I'm not okay. I need help. I was ignorant. I don't know everything. I was wrong. Can you please tell Ben and Lily I'm sorry?"
+
+Ben and Lily's mom said, "Of course. I'm sure they will accept your apology. They are kind and forgiving. They are good friends. Do you want to be their friend?"
+
+Sam said, "Yes, please. I want to be their friend. I want to learn from them. I want to play with them. I want to be nice to them."
+
+Ben and Lily's mom said, "That's good. I'm glad you changed your mind. I think they will be happy to hear that. I will tell them when the elevator man comes. He should be here soon. Hang in there, Sam. You will be okay."
+
+Sam said, "Thank you. You are very nice. I'm sorry I was not nice. I will try to be better. I hope Ben and Lily will like me."
+
+Ben and Lily's mom said, "You're welcome. I'm sure they will. They are very friendly. They like to make new friends. They will be glad to see you."
+
+Sam smiled and waited for the elevator man. He hoped Ben and Lily would accept him as their friend. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that being ignorant is not good, and being nice is better. He learned that he did not know everything, and he had a lot to learn. He learned that he needed friends, and he could be a good friend. He learned that the elevator was not a toy, and he should be careful with it. He learned a lot in the elevator that day.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their new toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, and blocks. They made a lot of noise, but they did not care.
+
+Mom was in the kitchen, making dinner. She was happy to see her children having fun, but she also wanted some quiet. She had a headache and she needed to focus on the food. She asked Tom and Lily to play more softly, but they did not listen.
+
+Dad came home from work. He was tired and hungry. He saw Tom and Lily playing in the living room. He smiled and went to hug them. He also saw their new toys and wanted to play with them too.

+
+Tom and Lily were happy to see Dad. They said yes and gave him some toys. They showed him how to make them move, talk, and light up. They made even more noise than before.
+
+Mom heard the noise from the kitchen. She felt angry and sad. She wanted some peace and quiet. She wanted Dad to help her with dinner. She wanted Tom and Lily to be more respectful. She came out of the kitchen and said in a loud voice:
+
+"Stop! You are disturbing me! You are making too much noise! You need to play in your room or outside. And Dad, you need to take off your boots. They are dirty and they are ruining the new carpet. Go and help me with dinner!"
+
+Tom, Lily, and Dad were surprised and scared. They did not mean to disturb Mom. They did not know she had a headache. They did not know the carpet was new. They felt sorry and ashamed.
+
+They quickly picked up their toys and put them in a basket. They said sorry to Mom and gave her a hug and a kiss. They took off their boots and put them by the door. They went to their room or to the kitchen to help Mom with dinner.
+
+Mom felt better after they apologized. She also hugged and kissed them. She said she loved them, but she also needed some respect and cooperation. She said they could play with their new toys later, after dinner, but they had to be more careful and quiet.
+
+Tom, Lily, and Dad agreed. They said they loved Mom too, and they wanted to make her happy. They learned their lesson and they did not disturb Mom again. They had a nice dinner and a nice evening together. They played with their new toys in a more gentle and soft way. They were a happy family.
+Lily was a small girl who liked to help her mom. One day, her mom was making dinner for the family. She was cooking chicken and rice and carrots. Lily wanted to help, so she asked her mom what she could do.
+
+Her mom said, "You can set the table, Lily. Take the plates and forks and spoons and napkins and put them on the table. Be careful, don't drop them."
+
+Lily nodded and took the plates and forks and spoons and napkins from the cupboard. She carried them to the table and put them in the right places. She felt very proud of herself.
+
+But then, she heard a loud noise from the kitchen. She ran back and saw that her mom had tripped and spilled the pot of rice on the floor. The rice was everywhere and the pot was hot. Her mom said, "Oh no, what a mess! And the chicken is almost done. What are we going to do?"
+
+Lily thought quickly. She remembered that there was some bread in the bread box. She said, "Mom, don't worry. I can save dinner. I can get the bread and we can have bread and chicken and carrots. That will be yummy."
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "You are a very smart and helpful girl, Lily. Thank you for saving dinner. You are the best."
+
+Lily felt very happy. She got the bread and brought it to the table. She helped her mom serve the chicken and the carrots. They ate dinner together and it was very yummy. Lily said, "I like to help you, mom. You are the best too."
+Anna and Ben are playing restaurant. Anna is the chef and Ben is the waiter. They have a menu with pictures of food. Ben takes the menu to the table where Mom and Dad are sitting.
+
+"Hello, welcome to our restaurant. What do you want to eat?" Ben asks, acting like a real waiter.
+

+
+"I want pizza, please," Mom says.
+
+"I want pasta, please," Dad says.
+
+"Okay, I will tell the chef. Do you want something to drink?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, please. I want water," Mom says.

+
+"Anna, we have two customers. They want pizza and pasta. And water and juice," Ben says.
+
+"Okay, I will make the food. You get the drinks," Anna says.

+Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But they did not like to eat their dinner. They always said it was yucky and boring.
+
+One day, their mom made them a special dinner. She said it was chicken and rice and carrots. She said it was yummy and healthy. She put it on their plates and told them to feed themselves.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at their dinner. They did not want to eat it. They wanted to eat candy and cookies. They said to their mom, "We don't like this dinner. We want something else."
+
+Their mom was sad and angry. She said, "This is the only dinner you have. You should be grateful for what you have. Some children have no food at all. If you don't eat your dinner, you will go to bed hungry and without a story."
+
+Tom and Lily did not listen to their mom. They pushed their plates away and ran to their room. They said, "We don't care. We have our toys and cartoons. We don't need dinner."
+
+Their mom sighed and took their plates away. She ate her dinner alone and then cleaned the dishes. She went to check on Tom and Lily. She saw that they were playing with their toys and watching cartoons. They did not say sorry to their mom. They did not say good night to their mom.
+
+Their mom was very sad and hurt. She turned off their toys and cartoons and left them in the dark. She said, "Maybe tomorrow you will learn to be grateful for what you have. Maybe tomorrow you will eat your dinner. Good night, Tom and Lily."
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and hungry. They cried and called for their mom. But their mom did not come back. They wished they had eaten their dinner. They wished they had been nice to their mom. They wished they had said sorry and good night. But it was too late. They had a bad ending.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big package in the living room. It had a red bow and a tag that said "Do not open until Christmas". They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it and see," Ben said. He tried to pull the bow, but it was too tight.
+
+"No, we can't," Lily said. "Mom and Dad said we have to wait. It's a surprise."
+
+"But I want to know now," Ben said. He looked around and saw a pair of scissors on the table. He grabbed them and ran to the package.
+
+Lily followed him and tried to stop him. "Ben, no! You'll ruin the surprise and make Mom and Dad sad. Give me the scissors!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He held the scissors and cut the bow. Then he tore the paper and opened the box. Inside was a big teddy bear with a blue scarf. Ben smiled and hugged it.
+
+"Look, Lily, it's a teddy bear! It's so soft and cute. I love it!"
+
+Lily did not smile. She was angry and sad. She saw another tag on the teddy bear. It said "To Ben and Lily, with love from Mom and Dad". The package was for both of them, not just for Ben.
+
+"Ben, you're selfish and mean," Lily said. "You opened our package without asking me. You did not share. You did not care about Mom and Dad's feelings. You only thought about yourself. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+She turned away and ran to her room. She slammed the door and cried.
+
+Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he had made a big mistake. He had ruined the surprise and hurt his sister and his parents. He wished he had waited and shared. He put the teddy bear back in the box and taped it. He wrote a note that said "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. Please forgive me."
+
+He knocked on Lily's door and gave her the box and the note. He hugged her and said "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. Please forgive me."
+
+Lily opened the box and saw the teddy bear. She read the note and smiled. She hugged Ben and said "I forgive you, Ben. I love you too. Let's share the teddy bear and play together."
+
+They took the teddy bear and went to the living room. They saw Mom and Dad sitting on the couch. They looked sad and disappointed.
+
+"Mom, Dad, we're sorry," Ben and Lily said. "We opened the package and we know it was wrong. We learned our lesson. We won't do it again. We love you."
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. They said "We love you too, Ben and Lily. We're glad you learned your lesson. We're proud of you for saying sorry and making up. The package was a gift for you, but the real gift is your love and kindness."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and thanked them. They played with the teddy bear and each other. They were happy and grateful.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: The story teaches the value of patience, sharing, caring, and forgiveness. It shows the consequences of being selfish and impulsive, and the benefits of being respectful and generous. It also shows the importance of family and love.

+Lila felt sad and angry. She thought her friends did not like her anymore. She decided to make a big mess in her room. She threw her toys and clothes on the floor. She tore her books and papers. She scribbled on her walls. She thought that would make her feel better.
+
+But it did not. She felt worse. She looked at her room and felt ashamed. She had ruined her things and made her parents unhappy. She wished she had not done that. She wished she had been nice and patient.
+
+She heard a knock on the door. It was her friends. They had come to visit her. They had brought her some gifts. They had made her some cards and dolls. They said they were sorry they could not talk to her before. They said they still liked her and wanted to play with her.
+
+Lila felt happy and grateful. She hugged her friends and thanked them. She showed them her room and said she was sorry she had made a mess. She said she would clean it up and be good. She said she learned a lesson. She said she should not make a mess when she was angry. She said she should make something nice instead.
+
+Her friends smiled and nodded. They helped her clean her room and make it nice again. They played with her things and had fun. They said they were proud of her. They said she was a popular girl. They said they were lucky to have her as a friend.
+Lila got a new black bike for her birthday. She was very happy and wanted to ride it right away. She put on her helmet and went outside with her mom.
+
+"Look at my new bike, mom! It is so shiny and fast!" Lila said.
+
+"Yes, it is a very nice bike, Lila. But you have to be careful and value it. That means you have to take good care of it and not let it get dirty or broken." Mom said.
+
+"I will, mom. I will value my new bike very much." Lila said.
+
+Lila rode her bike around the park and had a lot of fun. She saw her friend Sam, who also had a bike, but his was old and rusty.
+
+"Hi, Sam! Do you want to ride with me?" Lila asked.
+
+"Sure, Lila. Your bike is very cool. Can I try it?" Sam asked.
+
+Lila thought for a moment. She liked Sam, but she also liked her new bike. She did not want to share it with anyone.
+
+"No, Sam. This is my new bike. You can't try it. You have your own bike." Lila said.
+
+Sam felt sad and hurt. He did not understand why Lila did not want to share. He said goodbye and rode away.
+
+Lila felt a little bad, but she did not want to lose her new bike. She kept riding until it was time to go home.
+
+When she got home, she saw that her new bike had a scratch on the handle. She was very upset and cried.
+
+"Mom, look what happened to my new bike! It has a scratch! Who did this?" Lila asked.
+
+Mom looked at the bike and hugged Lila.
+
+"I don't know, Lila. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe it was someone who was angry or jealous. But you know what? A scratch does not make your bike less valuable. It is still a good bike that you can ride and enjoy. What makes your bike valuable is not how it looks, but how you use it and how you share it with others. Do you understand?" Mom said.
+
+Lila nodded and wiped her tears.
+
+"I understand, mom. I was wrong to be selfish and not share my bike with Sam. He is my friend and he has an old bike. I should have let him try my new bike. Maybe he would have liked it and we could have had more fun together. I will say sorry to him tomorrow and ask him to ride with me again. I will value my bike and my friend." Lila said.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed Lila.
+
+"That's very good, Lila. I'm proud of you. You learned a valuable lesson today. Sharing is caring, and caring is valuing." Mom said.
+Ben and Mia like to observe the cat that lives next door. The cat is black and white and has a long tail. Sometimes the cat comes to their garden and plays with the birds and the bugs. Ben and Mia think the cat is very mighty and clever.
+
+One day, they see the cat on the fence, looking at something in the sky. They run to the fence and look up too. They see a big bird with red and yellow feathers. The bird is a parrot and it makes loud noises.
+
+"Hello, hello!" the parrot says. "Who are you?"
+
+The cat hisses and jumps off the fence. The parrot laughs and flies away.
+
+"Wow, did you hear that?" Ben says. "The bird can talk!"
+
+"Yes, I heard that," Mia says. "But the cat did not like it."
+
+They laugh and go back to their house. They tell their mom about the cat and the parrot. Their mom smiles and says they are very good at observing. Ben and Mia feel happy and proud. They hope to see the cat and the parrot again.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside the hole.
+
+They climbed the tree and looked into the hole. They saw a big owl with yellow eyes. The owl was sleeping. It looked lazy and fluffy.
+
+Tom and Lily wanted to touch the owl. They reached their hands into the hole. But the owl woke up and made a loud noise. It was angry and scared.
+
+Tom and Lily were also scared. They let go of the owl and tried to climb down the tree. But the tree was slippery and they could not hold on. They slipped and fell to the ground.
+
+They were not hurt, but they were dirty and sad. They ran back to their home and told their mom what happened. Their mom hugged them and said they should not bother the owl. The owl needed to sleep in the day and hunt in the night.
+
+Tom and Lily said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They never climbed the tree with the owl again. They played with other animals in the woods, but they were careful and kind.
+Tim and Lily were playing hide and seek in the big house. Tim was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran up the stairs and looked for a good spot. She saw a long curtain that covered a window. She thought it was a perfect place to hide. She went behind the curtain and knelt down. She hoped Tim would not find her.
+
+Tim counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" He searched the rooms downstairs, but he did not see Lily. He wondered where she was. He decided to go upstairs and look for her. He opened the doors and checked the beds and closets, but he did not see Lily. He was getting frustrated. He thought Lily was very good at hiding.
+
+He came to the last room upstairs. It was a big room with a lot of books and paintings. He saw a long curtain that covered a window. He thought Lily might be behind it. He walked towards the curtain and pulled it aside. He expected to see Lily, but he saw something else. He saw a huge painting of a lion that looked very impressive. The lion had a big mane and sharp teeth. It looked like it was roaring at him.
+
+Tim was so surprised and scared that he screamed. Lily heard him and came out from behind the curtain. She saw the painting and laughed. She said, "I found the best hiding spot, Tim! Did you like the lion?" Tim was still shaking. He said, "No, I did not like the lion. It was very scary. How did you hide behind the curtain and not see the lion?" Lily said, "I did not look at the window. I just knelt down and waited for you. I did not know there was a lion there. It was a good surprise, right?" Tim said, "No, it was a bad surprise. I don't want to play hide and seek here anymore. Let's go downstairs and play something else." Lily said, "OK, Tim. Sorry for scaring you. But you have to admit, it was a good hiding spot." Tim said, "Yes, it was. But next time, don't hide behind a curtain with a lion." They went downstairs and played something else.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She checked behind the trees, under the slide, and in the sandbox, but she could not find him.
+
+"Where are you, Ben?" she called out. "I give up!"
+
+She heard a giggle from behind a big bush. She ran to the bush and pulled the branches apart. She expected to see Ben, but instead she saw a big, furry, brown bear!
+
+Lily was in shock. She screamed and ran away from the bush. The bear was also in shock. It roared and ran away from the park.
+
+Ben heard the scream and the roar. He came out of his hiding spot, which was a distant bench. He saw Lily running towards him and the bear running away from them.
+
+"Lily, what happened?" he asked.
+
+"I found a bear!" she said. "It was hiding behind the bush!"
+
+"Wow, that's scary!" he said. "Are you okay?"
+
+"Yes, I'm okay," she said. "But I don't want to play hide and seek anymore. Let's go home."
+
+They held hands and walked home. They told their mom and dad about the bear. They were very surprised and glad that Lily and Ben were safe. They gave them hugs and cookies and said they were very brave. Lily and Ben agreed that it was the most exciting game of hide and seek ever.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys in their room. One day, they find a rod in the box. It is long and thin and shiny.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a magic rod," Ben says.
+
+They take the rod and go to the garden. They see a bird on a tree. Ben points the rod at the bird and says, "Fly, bird, fly!"
+
+The bird flies away.
+
+"Wow, it works!" Ben says.
+
+They see a cat on the fence. Lily points the rod at the cat and says, "Meow, cat, meow!"
+
+The cat meows.
+
+"Wow, it works!" Lily says.
+
+They see a dog on the street. Ben points the rod at the dog and says, "Bark, dog, bark!"
+
+The dog barks.
+
+"Wow, it works!" Ben says.
+
+They see a car on the road. Lily points the rod at the car and says, "Honk, car, honk!"
+
+The car honks.
+
+"Wow, it works!" Lily says.
+
+They see a man on the sidewalk. He is wearing a hat and a coat. He looks angry. Ben points the rod at the man and says, "Smile, man, smile!"
+
+The man does not smile. He walks towards them. He looks more angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids, what are you doing with that rod?" he says.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They run back to their house. They put the rod back in the box. They are quiet.
+
+"Maybe it is not a magic rod," Ben says.
+
+"Maybe it is a bad rod," Lily says.
+
+They hug each other. They do not play with the rod again.
+Lila and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, but Lila wanted to see the rhinoceros. She liked its big horn and gray skin. She asked Mom if she could touch it.
+
+Mom said no, the rhinoceros was too far and too big. She said they could only look at it from behind the fence. Lila was sad. She wanted to be friends with the rhinoceros.
+
+Ben saw a man with a bucket of food. He said he was the rhinoceros keeper. He said he was going to feed the rhinoceros and let the children watch. Lila and Ben ran to the fence. They saw the keeper open a gate and walk to the rhinoceros.
+
+The rhinoceros saw the keeper and the food. He was happy. He walked to the keeper and took the food from his hand. He made a loud noise that sounded like a snort. The keeper smiled and rubbed his horn. He said the rhinoceros was charming and gentle.
+
+Lila and Ben watched the keeper and the rhinoceros. They thought they were friends. Lila wished she could be friends with the rhinoceros too. She saw the keeper put the bucket down and walk back to the gate. She saw the rhinoceros follow him. She saw a chance.
+
+She ran to the gate and tried to reach the rhinoceros. She wanted to touch his horn and his skin. She wanted to hear his snort. She wanted to make him happy.
+
+But Mom saw her and stopped her. She said no, Lila, you can't go to the rhinoceros. He is too big and too strong. He might hurt you. He is not a pet. He is a wild animal.
+
+Lila was sad. She cried. She said she only wanted to be friends with the rhinoceros. She said he was charming and gentle. She said the keeper was friends with him.
+
+Mom hugged her and said she understood. She said the keeper was special. He knew how to take care of the rhinoceros. He knew how to make him happy. He knew how to be safe.
+
+She said Lila and Ben could be friends with the rhinoceros too. But they had to do it from a distance. They had to respect him and his space. They had to watch him and learn from him. They had to love him and admire him.
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry. They said they loved the rhinoceros. They said they wanted to see more animals. Mom and Dad smiled. They said okay. They said they were proud of them. They said they were charming and gentle too.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a favorite swing that they always took turns on. One day, they saw an old man with a cane walking slowly to a bench. He looked sad and tired.
+
+"Hello, sir," Lily said. "Do you want to swing with us?"
+
+The old man smiled and shook his head. "No, thank you, dear. I'm too old for that. But you can have this." He gave Lily a shiny coin from his pocket.
+
+"Wow, thank you!" Lily said. She ran to show Ben the coin.
+
+Ben was jealous. He wanted a coin too. He saw that the old man had a hidden pocket in his coat. He thought there might be more coins there. He waited until the old man closed his eyes and sneaked up to him. He reached for the pocket, but the old man grabbed his hand.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" the old man said. "That's not nice. You should not take things that are not yours."
+
+Ben felt ashamed. He let go of the pocket and ran away. He hid behind a tree and cried.
+
+Lily saw what happened. She felt sorry for Ben. She went to him and hugged him.
+
+"It's okay, Ben," she said. "I'm sorry I made you feel bad. You can have my coin. I don't need it."
+
+Ben looked at Lily. He saw that she was kind and generous. He felt sorry for what he did. He hugged her back.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," he said. "But you can keep your coin. You earned it. I'm sorry I tried to take the old man's coin. That was wrong. I learned my lesson."
+
+They both went back to the old man and apologized. The old man forgave them and gave them each a candy. They thanked him and invited him to swing with them. He agreed and they all had fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be honest and share with others. Don't be greedy and steal from others. You will be happier and make more friends.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their wagon in the park. They put their toys and snacks in the wagon and pulled it around. Sometimes they met other kids and shared their things.
+
+One day, they saw a new kid in the park. He had a big hat and a funny coat. He looked different from the other kids. Lily and Ben were curious. They wanted to say hello and see his toys. But the new kid was shy. He did not talk to anyone. He hid behind a tree and watched them.
+
+Lily and Ben decided to be nice. They pulled their wagon near the tree and smiled. They said, "Hi, we are Lily and Ben. What is your name? Do you want to play with us? We have a wagon with lots of fun things. You can have some if you like."
+
+The new kid peeked from behind the tree. He saw their friendly faces and their wagon. He felt happy. He came out of his hiding place and said, "Hi, I am Sam. I am new here. I don't have any friends or toys. Thank you for being kind. Can I play with you?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They welcomed Sam to their wagon. They showed him their toys and snacks. They played together and had a good time. They learned that Sam had moved from another country. He spoke a different language and wore different clothes. But he was also a normal kid who liked to have fun and make friends.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't judge people by how they look. Be friendly and open to others who are different from you. You might find a new friend and learn something new.
+Anna liked to go to school. She had many friends and a nice teacher. She learned new things every day. But there was one thing she did not like. She did not like math. Math was hard and boring. She did not understand the numbers and the shapes. She always struggled with math.
+
+One day, the teacher gave them a math test. Anna was scared. She looked at the paper and saw many questions. She did not know the answers. She felt sad and angry. She wanted to cry. She looked around and saw the other pupils. They seemed to know what to do. They wrote and drew on their papers. They looked happy and smart. Anna felt more sad and angry. She wanted to give up.
+
+But then, she saw something interesting. She saw a picture on the wall. It was a picture of a butterfly. The butterfly had many colors and patterns. It was beautiful. Anna liked butterflies. She remembered that the teacher had told them a story about butterflies. She had said that butterflies were once caterpillars. Caterpillars were small and plain. They had to eat a lot and make a cocoon. They had to struggle and change. They had to wait and grow. Then, they became butterflies. Butterflies were big and bright. They could fly and explore. They were free and happy.
+
+Anna thought about the story. She thought that maybe math was like a cocoon. Math was hard and boring. She had to struggle and learn. She had to wait and grow. But maybe, if she did not give up, she could become a butterfly. She could understand the numbers and the shapes. She could solve the problems and enjoy the math. She could be happy and smart.
+
+Anna felt a new feeling. She felt curious and brave. She decided to try the math test. She looked at the paper and saw the questions. She tried to remember what the teacher had taught them. She wrote and drew on her paper. She did not know all the answers, but she did her best. She felt proud and hopeful.
+
+The teacher collected the papers and checked them. She smiled when she saw Anna's paper. She saw that Anna had tried hard and done well. She gave Anna a sticker and a hug. She said, "Well done, Anna! You are a math butterfly!" Anna smiled back and said, "Thank you, teacher! Math is interesting!" She felt happy and smart. She liked math.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They live in a big city with many cars and people. They like to play in the park near their home. One day, they find a big box in the park. It is brown and has a picture of a train on it.
+
+"Look, Tom, a box!" Lila says. "What is inside?"
+
+"I don't know, Lila. Maybe a train?" Tom says. "Let's open it and see."
+
+They go to the box and pull the lid. It is heavy and hard to open. They use their hands and feet to push and pull. Finally, they open the box. Inside, they see many pieces of wood and metal. They are different shapes and colors.
+
+"What is this?" Lila asks. "This is not a train."
+
+Tom picks up a piece of wood. It has a hole in it. He looks at the picture on the box. He sees that the pieces can fit together to make a train.
+
+"Lila, I think this is a train. But we have to make it ourselves," Tom says. "Do you want to help me?"
+
+"Yes, Tom, I want to help you. This sounds fun," Lila says. "But how do we make it?"
+
+Tom looks at the instructions on the box. They have words and pictures. He tries to read the words, but they are too hard. He looks at the pictures. They show how to put the pieces together.
+
+"Lila, we have to follow the pictures. They show us what to do," Tom says. "Let's start with the engine. We need this piece and this piece."
+
+They take the pieces and try to fit them together. They are gentle and careful. They do not want to break the pieces. They work together and talk to each other. They have fun making the train. After a while, they finish the engine. It looks like the picture on the box.
+
+"Wow, Tom, we did it! We made the engine!" Lila says. "It is beautiful!"
+
+"Yes, Lila, we did it! We are good at making trains!" Tom says. "But we are not done yet. We still have to make the cars and the tracks."
+
+They look at the box. There are many more pieces left. They smile at each other. They are happy and excited. They want to make the whole train. They continue to work on the box. They open more pieces and follow more pictures. They make the train in the park. They are friends in the city.
+Anna was very happy. Today was her birthday and she was going to have a party. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She helped her mom make a large cake with chocolate and sprinkles. She could not wait for her friends to come.
+
+Soon, the doorbell rang. Anna ran to open it. She saw Lily, Ben, and Sam. They all had gifts for her. They hugged and said hello. Anna invited them to the living room, where there were balloons, streamers, and toys. They played with the dolls, the cars, and the puzzles. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Then, Anna's mom said it was time for the cake. She brought it to the table and lit the candles. Anna and her friends sang happy birthday. Anna made a wish and blew out the candles. She cut the cake and gave everyone a slice. They ate the cake and said it was delicious.
+
+After the cake, Anna's mom put on some music. She said they could dance and twist. Anna and her friends liked to twist. They moved their hips and their arms. They laughed and clapped. They twisted fast and slow. They twisted high and low. They twisted until they were tired.
+
+Anna's mom said it was time to go home. Anna and her friends said goodbye. They thanked Anna for the party and gave her hugs. Anna said she had a great time. She opened her gifts and saw a book, a hat, and a teddy bear. She loved them all. She thanked her mom for the party and gave her a kiss. She went to bed and dreamed of her birthday. She was very happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big hill with many rocks and pebbles. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+They held hands and started to walk up the hill. They picked up some pebbles and threw them in the air. They laughed and shouted. They felt happy and brave.
+
+But when they reached the top of the hill, they saw something that made them stop and frown. It was a big, scary dog. It had black fur and sharp teeth. It was barking and growling at them. It looked angry and hungry.
+
+Ben and Lily were afraid. They did not know the dog. It was unknown to them. They did not want to play with it. They wanted to run away.
+
+"Let's go back, Ben!" Lily said. "The dog is bad. It might bite us!"
+
+"OK, Lily!" Ben said. "But how do we get past it? It is blocking the way!"
+
+They looked around and saw a stick. Ben had an idea. He picked up the stick and waved it at the dog. He made a loud noise. He hoped the dog would be scared and run away.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted. "We don't like you! You are not nice!"
+
+The dog saw the stick and heard the noise. It was surprised and confused. It did not like the stick or the noise. It decided to leave the hill and find another place to play.
+
+Ben and Lily saw the dog run away. They felt relieved and happy. They hugged each other and smiled.
+
+"Good job, Ben!" Lily said. "You scared the dog away! You are brave and smart!"
+
+"Thank you, Lily!" Ben said. "You are brave and smart too! Let's go back to the park and have fun!"
+
+They held hands and walked down the hill. They threw the stick and the pebbles away. They did not want to see the dog again. They wanted to play with their friends and toys. They felt happy and safe.
+Lily and Ben wanted to go to the park with Mom and Dad. They had to prepare for the trip. They packed some snacks and drinks in a cooler. They also brought a ball, a kite and a book.
+
+"Are we ready?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, we are!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the park. It was a sunny day and the park was full of people and animals. Lily and Ben saw some interesting things. They saw a big dog, a small bird, a red flower and a green bug.
+
+"Look, Mom, look, Dad!" they shouted.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and nodded.
+
+They found a nice spot under a tree and put the cooler down. They opened it and took out some sandwiches and juice. They were about to eat when they heard a loud noise.
+
+"Hey, that's our cooler!" a boy said.
+
+He ran towards them with a girl. They looked angry and mean.
+
+"No, it's not!" Ben said.
+
+He held the cooler tight.
+
+"Yes, it is! We left it here when we went to play. Give it back!" the girl said.
+
+She tried to grab the cooler.
+
+"Stop it! Leave us alone!" Lily said.
+
+She pushed the girl away.
+
+Mom and Dad saw what was happening and came to help.
+
+"Excuse me, what's going on here?" Mom asked.
+
+"These kids took our cooler!" the boy said.
+
+"No, they didn't. This is our cooler. We brought it from home. See, it has our name on it." Dad said.
+
+He pointed to a sticker on the cooler that said "Lily and Ben".
+
+The boy and the girl looked at the sticker and realized they were wrong.
+
+"Oh, sorry. We thought it was ours. It looks like ours." the boy said.
+
+"Yeah, sorry. We made a mistake." the girl said.
+
+They walked away, feeling embarrassed.
+
+Lily and Ben felt relieved and happy.
+
+"It's okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. But you should always ask before you take something that doesn't belong to you." Mom said.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We know." Lily and Ben said.
+
+They hugged Mom and Dad and thanked them for protecting them.
+
+They ate their sandwiches and juice and enjoyed the rest of the day at the park. They played with the ball, the kite and the book. They saw more interesting things and had fun. They were glad they prepared for the trip.
+Lily and Max like to play with blocks. They build towers and bridges and castles. They have fun and make a lot of noise.
+
+One day, they find a shiny crown in a box. It is gold and has jewels on it. Lily wants to wear the crown. She says, "I am the queen of the blocks. I can tell you what to do."
+
+Max does not like that. He says, "No, you are not the queen. You are just Lily. You cannot boss me around."
+
+They start to argue. They pull the crown from each other. They knock down their blocks. They make a big mess.
+
+Mom comes in and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why are you making a mess?"
+
+Lily and Max feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We found a crown and we wanted to play with it. But we could not share it. We made a mess."
+
+Mom says, "The crown is not yours. It belongs to Grandma. She gave it to me when I was little. It is very special. You have to be careful with it. And you have to share it. Sharing is nice."
+
+Lily and Max say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will share the crown. And we will clean up the mess. And we will say sorry to each other."
+
+Mom says, "That is good. I love you both. Now, let's put the crown back in the box. And then you can build something nice with your blocks."
+Lila loves her pony, Sunny. Sunny is rare. He has a yellow coat and a white mane. Lila likes to dress Sunny with ribbons and flowers. She thinks he looks pretty.
+
+One day, Lila and Sunny go to the park. They see other children and ponies. Some ponies are brown, some are black, some are white. But none are yellow like Sunny.
+
+"Wow, your pony is rare!" a boy says to Lila. "Can I pet him?"
+
+Lila smiles and nods. She is proud of Sunny. The boy reaches out his hand and strokes Sunny's nose. Sunny nuzzles the boy and snorts.
+
+"Your pony is nice, too," Lila says to the boy. "What is his name?"
+
+The boy says, "His name is Spot. He has a big spot on his back. See?"
+
+Lila looks and sees the spot. She thinks it is funny. She says, "Spot is a good name for him. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The boy says, "Yes, please. Can we run and jump with our ponies?"
+
+Lila says, "Yes, we can. Come on, Sunny. Let's go!"
+
+Lila and the boy hold their ponies' reins and run and jump with them. They have fun. They make new friends. They are happy.
+Lily was a lawyer who helped people with problems. She liked her job, but sometimes it made her sad. She had to go to a big building with many rooms and talk to other lawyers and judges. They wore dark clothes and used hard words. Sometimes they were angry or mean.
+
+One day, Lily had to go to the big building for a long time. She had a big problem to solve with another lawyer. She did not like him. He was rude and loud. He said bad things about Lily and her client. Lily tried to be calm and smart, but she felt gloomy.
+
+When she came home, she saw a surprise. Her son, Max, had made a display for her. He had used paper, crayons, stickers, and glue. He had drawn pictures of Lily, him, and their dog. He had written "I love you, Mom" and "You are the best lawyer" on the paper. He had put the display on the table with a big smile.
+
+Lily hugged Max and thanked him. She felt happy and proud. She told him that he was the best son and that he had made her day. She put the display on the wall in her room. She looked at it every morning and every night. It made her feel less gloomy when she had to go to the big building. It reminded her that she had someone who loved her and supported her.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with green and black things on it. They are curious.
+
+"What are those?" Lila asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's go and see," Ben says.
+
+They run to the tree and pick some of the green and black things. They smell them and touch them.
+
+"They are soft and round," Lila says.
+
+"Maybe they are fruits. Can we eat them?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask Mom or Dad first," Lila says.
+
+They put some of the green and black things in their pockets and run back to their parents. They show them what they found.
+
+"Look, Mom, look, Dad, what are these?" they ask.
+
+"Those are olives, Lila and Ben. They grow on olive trees. Some people like to eat them, but they are very salty and bitter. You have to wash them and put them in water with salt and vinegar and herbs to make them tasty," Mom says.
+
+"Can we try them, Mom, please?" Lila and Ben ask.
+
+"Okay, but only one each. And drink some water after. You might not like them," Mom says.
+
+She gives them each an olive and watches them bite into them. Lila and Ben make funny faces. They spit out the olives and drink some water.
+
+"Yuck, Mom, they are not good. They are deep and sour and make my mouth hurt," Lila says.
+
+"Me too, Mom, they are not yummy. They are deep and bad and make my tongue dry," Ben says.
+
+"I told you, Lila and Ben, olives are not for everyone. Maybe when you are older, you will like them more. But for now, let's go and play with something else. How about the swings?" Mom says.
+
+"Okay, Mom, let's go. But no more olives, please," Lila and Ben say.
+
+They run to the swings and forget about the olives. They have fun and laugh and swing high. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lila liked to bake with her mom. They made cakes and pies and cookies. Lila loved to mix the flour and the eggs and the sugar. She also loved to lick the spoon and the bowl.
+
+One day, mom said they would bake something special. She said they would bake a port cake. Lila did not know what port was. Mom said it was a sweet drink that grown-ups liked. She said it made the cake very yummy.
+
+They baked the port cake and put it in a big tin. Mom said they would take it to grandma's house. Grandma was troubled. She was sad because grandpa was sick. Mom said the port cake would make her happy.
+
+They got in the car and drove to grandma's house. Lila held the tin on her lap. She smelled the port cake. It smelled good. She wanted to taste it.
+
+When they got to grandma's house, they saw grandpa in bed. He looked pale and tired. Grandma hugged mom and Lila. She thanked them for the port cake. She said it was very kind of them.
+
+They cut the port cake and gave a slice to grandpa. He smiled and took a bite. He said it was delicious. He said it made him feel better. Lila was glad. She also took a bite of her slice. She liked the port cake. She said it was sweet and moist.
+
+They all ate the port cake and talked and laughed. Lila saw that grandma was not troubled anymore. She was happy. Lila was happy too. She liked to bake with her mom. She liked to make people happy.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play all day. She liked to run, jump, sing, and draw. She had many toys and books and friends. But sometimes, she forgot to rest. She wanted to do everything and never stop.
+
+One day, she felt very tired and sick. She had a sore throat and a fever. She could not play or have fun. She had to stay in bed and drink water. Her mom gave her a mug of warm soup. She said, "Lily, you need to rest. Rest is good for you. It helps you get healthy again. If you rest, you will feel better soon."
+
+Lily did not like to rest. She wanted to get up and play. She said, "But mom, I don't want to rest. I want to play. I don't like soup. I want ice cream." She cried and whined.
+
+Her mom said, "Lily, please listen to me. Rest is important. You can play later, when you are healthy. Soup is good for you. It makes you strong. Ice cream is not good for you. It makes you sick. You have to rest and eat soup. That is how you show love to yourself and to me."
+
+Lily thought about what her mom said. She realized that her mom was right. She wanted to be healthy and strong. She wanted to show love to herself and to her mom. She said, "OK, mom. I will rest and eat soup. I love you, mom. Thank you for taking care of me."
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good girl. I am proud of you. Now, rest and get well soon."
+
+Lily drank her soup and lay down in bed. She felt warm and cozy. She closed her eyes and rested. She knew that rest was good for her. She knew that her mom loved her. She felt happy and peaceful.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: Rest is important for health and happiness. Listen to your parents and take care of yourself. Show love to yourself and to others.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big butterfly. It has many colors. They want to catch it.
+
+"Look, Lily, a butterfly!" Ben says. He runs after it. He has a cup in his hand. He wants to put the butterfly in the cup.
+
+"Wait, Ben, don't do that!" Lily says. She knows the butterfly is not happy in the cup. She wants to let it fly. She runs after Ben.
+
+Ben is fast. He reaches the butterfly. He puts the cup over it. He is happy. He has caught the butterfly.
+
+"Ben, no!" Lily says. She is sad. She sees the butterfly flap its wings. It tries to get out. It makes a loud noise. It is scared.
+
+Ben hears the noise. He looks at the cup. He sees the butterfly. He feels bad. He knows he has hurt the butterfly.
+
+"I'm sorry, butterfly," Ben says. He lifts the cup. He lets the butterfly go. The butterfly flies away. It is free.
+
+Lily hugs Ben. She is proud of him. She says, "Good job, Ben. You did the right thing. The butterfly is happy now. And so are we."
+
+Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I learned a lesson. We should not catch things that are alive. We should let them be."
+Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big orange ball on the grass. They want to play with it.
+
+"Look, a ball!" Tom says.
+
+"Let's get it!" Mia says.
+
+They run to the ball, but it is too far. They try to reach it, but they cannot. They stretch their arms, but they are too short.
+
+"Help!" Tom says.
+
+"Help!" Mia says.

+
+One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He saw her pen and wanted to play with it. He said, "Give me your pen, Sara. I want to draw too."
+
+Sara did not want to give her pen to Tom. She said, "No, Tom. This is my pen. You have your own pen. Go away."
+
+Tom was angry. He did not listen to Sara. He grabbed her pen and ran away. Sara was sad. She cried and ran after him.
+
+Tom ran to the kitchen. He saw a big cake on the table. He thought it was a good idea to draw on the cake with Sara's pen. He made lines and dots and circles on the cake. He was very naughty.
+
+Sara came into the kitchen and saw what Tom did. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Tom, you are bad! You ruined the cake and my pen. Mom will be mad at you."
+
+Mom came into the kitchen and saw the mess. She was very mad at Tom. She said, "Tom, what did you do? You spoiled the cake and Sara's pen. You are in big trouble. Go to your room now."
+
+Tom was scared. He knew he did a bad thing. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Sara. I just wanted to draw."
+
+Mom said, "Sorry is not enough, Tom. You have to learn to be thoughtful and share. You have to say sorry to Sara and give her a new pen. And you have to help me clean the kitchen and make a new cake."
+

+Zara and Leo loved to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to zoom them on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. They made noises like vroom, beep, and screech.
+
+One day, they found a new car in their toy box. It was red and shiny, and it had a flame on the side. It looked very fast and cool. Zara and Leo both wanted to play with it.
+
+"Let me have it!" Zara said. "It's my turn!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Leo said. "I saw it first!"
+
+They pulled and tugged on the car, but neither of them would let go. They started to yell and cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Zara and Leo fighting over the car. She was not happy.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. "You have to share your toys. You can't have fun if you are miserable and mean."
+
+She took the car from them and put it on the shelf. She said they could not play with it until they learned to get along.
+
+Zara and Leo felt sorry for what they did. They looked at each other and said sorry. They hugged and made up.
+
+They decided to play with their other cars instead. They zoomed them on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. They made noises like vroom, beep, and screech.
+
+They had fun and forgot about the red car with the flame. They were happy and nice. Mom smiled and gave them a kiss.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to pretend they are lions. They run and jump and roar. They make a loud sound with their mouths. They have fun.
+
+But then they see a big dog. The dog is black and furry. It has sharp teeth and a long tail. The dog runs towards them. It barks and growls. It makes a scary sound.
+
+Tom and Lily are afraid. They do not like the dog. They want to go away. They look for their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She is reading a book.
+
+"Mom, mom, help!" Tom and Lily shout. They run to their mom. They hold her hand. They hide behind her.
+
+Their mom sees the dog. She is not afraid. She knows the dog. It is her friend's dog. His name is Max. He is friendly and playful. He does not want to hurt Tom and Lily. He just wants to say hello.
+
+"Hi, Max," their mom says. She pets the dog. She smiles. "He is a good dog. He likes to play. Do you want to play with him?"
+
+Tom and Lily look at the dog. He wags his tail. He licks their mom's face. He does not make a scary sound anymore. He makes a happy sound.
+
+Tom and Lily feel better. They are not afraid anymore. They want to play with the dog. They pet him. They throw a ball for him. He chases the ball. He brings it back. He roars. He makes a funny sound.
+
+Tom and Lily laugh. They roar too. They make a funny sound. They have fun. They are friends with the dog. They are happy.
+Tim and Jen were playing in the yard. They liked to dig in the dirt and make mud pies. They also liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big chest that they filled with shiny rocks and shells. They locked the chest with a key and hid it under a bush.
+
+One day, a mean boy named Max came to their yard. He saw the chest and wanted to take it. He pushed Tim and Jen and grabbed the key. He ran to the chest and tried to unlock it. But the key did not fit. It was the wrong key. Tim and Jen had tricked him. They had another key that they kept in their pocket.
+
+"Ha ha, you can't open our chest!" Tim said. "That's not the real key. That's a fake key. We made it from a spoon."
+
+"Give me the real key!" Max shouted. He was angry and scared. He did not want to lose the chest.
+
+"No, you can't have it!" Jen said. "You are mean and greedy. You can't take our treasure. It's ours."
+
+Max threw the fake key on the ground. He kicked the chest and tried to break it. But the chest was strong and hard. He could not break it. He got more angry and scared. He looked around and saw a drain. He had an idea. He picked up the chest and ran to the drain. He threw the chest into the drain.
+
+"There, now you can't have it either!" Max said. He laughed and ran away.
+
+Tim and Jen were sad and shocked. They ran to the drain and looked inside. They could not see the chest. It was too dark and deep. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+"Why did he do that?" Tim asked. "He was so mean and bad. He ruined our game. He took our treasure."
+
+"I don't know," Jen said. "He was not humble. He did not share. He did not care. He was selfish."
+
+They wished they could get their chest back. They wished they could play again. They wished Max would say sorry. But they knew he would not. He was not a good friend. He was a bad boy. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with their things. They learned to be humble and kind. They learned to be good friends.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games. They also had a big window that showed them the garden and the sky. Sometimes they saw birds and butterflies and clouds. They felt peaceful in their room.
+
+One day, their mom told them to clean their room before dinner. She said, "You have to put away your toys and books and games. If you don't, you will not get dessert." Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom." But they did not want to clean their room. They wanted to keep playing.
+
+They played with their dolls and cars and puzzles. They forgot about their mom's words. They made a lot of noise and mess. They threw their toys and books and games all over the floor. They did not hear their mom calling them for dinner.
+
+Their mom came to their room and saw the chaos. She was very angry. She said, "Lily and Ben, what have you done? You did not clean your room. You did not listen to me. You did not remind each other. You will not get dessert. You will go to bed without dinner." Lily and Ben felt very sad and sorry. They cried and said, "We are sorry, mom. Please, can we have dessert?" But their mom said, "No. You have to learn your lesson. Go to bed now." She turned off the light and left them in the dark.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged each other and sobbed. They wished they had cleaned their room. They wished they had reminded each other. They wished they had listened to their mom. They did not feel peaceful in their room. They felt scared and lonely. They had a bad night.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they are different. Sara likes to share and be nice. Ben likes to spoil and be mean.
+
+One day, Mom says it is time for nap. Sara and Ben go to their room. Sara takes her teddy bear and lies on her bed. Ben takes his truck and lies on his bed. But he is not sleepy. He wants to play.
+
+He looks at Sara and her teddy bear. He thinks of a bad idea. He gets up and goes to Sara's bed. He grabs her teddy bear and runs away.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Sara cries. She gets up and chases Ben.
+
+"No, it is mine now!" Ben says. He runs to the kitchen. He sees a big bowl of chocolate pudding on the table. He smiles. He throws the teddy bear into the pudding.
+
+Sara runs into the kitchen. She sees her teddy bear covered in pudding. She screams. She is very sad and angry.
+
+"Ben, you are so mean! You spoiled my teddy bear!" Sara says.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess and the teddy bear. She is very mad.
+
+"Ben, what did you do? You are in big trouble!" Mom says.
+
+She takes the teddy bear and tries to clean it. She takes Ben and puts him in time out. She takes Sara and hugs her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. Your teddy bear will be okay. You can have some pudding if you want." Mom says.
+
+Sara nods. She is still sad, but she loves Mom. She eats some pudding and feels a little better.
+
+But Ben is not sorry. He is still mean. He does not like time out. He does not like Mom. He does not like Sara. He does not like nap. He does not like anything. He is very unhappy.
+
+The end.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big gray house with a tall chimney. They wondered what was inside the chimney.
+
+"Let's climb the chimney and see," Ben said.
+
+"No, that's too high and scary," Lily said.
+
+"Come on, it will be fun," Ben said. He took Lily's hand and led her to the house.
+
+They found a ladder leaning against the wall. Ben climbed up the ladder and reached the roof. He looked at the chimney and saw a hole.
+
+"Look, Lily, there's a hole. Maybe we can see the sky or the stars," he said.
+
+Lily climbed up the ladder too. She was afraid of falling, but she wanted to be with Ben. She followed him to the chimney and peeked inside.
+
+But instead of the sky or the stars, they saw something else. It was a big black bird with a shiny beak and red eyes. It was a crow.
+
+The crow saw them too and made a loud noise. "Caw, caw, caw! Go away, this is my home!" it said.
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They did not like the crow. They ran back to the ladder and climbed down.
+
+"Let's go home, Ben," Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily, let's go home," Ben said.
+
+They ran away from the big gray house and the tall chimney. They never climbed the chimney again.
+Lily and Ben were playing outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They threw snowballs at each other and laughed. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then Lily felt cold. Her nose was red and her fingers were numb. She wanted to go inside and get warm. She said to Ben, "I am cold. Can we go inside?"
+
+Ben nodded. He was cold too. He said, "Yes, let's go inside. We can have some hot chocolate and cookies. That will make us warm and happy."
+
+They ran inside and took off their coats and boots. They went to the kitchen and saw their mom. She smiled and said, "You look like you had a lot of fun. But you also look very cold. Here, I made some hot chocolate and cookies for you. Sit down and enjoy."
+
+Lily and Ben sat down and drank their hot chocolate and ate their cookies. They felt warm and cozy. They thanked their mom and gave her a hug. She hugged them back and said, "You're welcome. I love you. You are my easy and sweet children."
+
+Lily and Ben felt comfort from their mom. They felt happy and loved. They finished their hot chocolate and cookies and said, "We love you too, mom. You are the best mom ever."
+Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls in the living room. They liked to dress them up and make them talk. Lily had a pink doll with a yellow dress and Ben had a blue doll with a green shirt.
+
+"Hello, I am Lily's doll. Do you want to be my friend?" Lily made her doll say to Ben's doll.
+
+"Hello, I am Ben's doll. Yes, I want to be your friend. You have a pretty dress." Ben made his doll say back.
+
+They smiled and made their dolls hug. Then Lily saw something shiny on Ben's doll's shirt. It was a button. Lily liked shiny things. She wanted the button.
+
+"Can I have your button?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"No, it is my button. It belongs to my doll." Ben said.
+
+"But I like it. It is shiny and round. Please give it to me." Lily said.
+
+"No, you have your own dress. You cannot take my button." Ben said.
+
+Lily felt angry. She reached out and tried to take the button from Ben's doll. Ben saw her and pulled his doll away. They started to tug and pull on the button. The button was not very strong. It snapped off and flew across the room.
+
+"Look what you did! You broke my button!" Ben shouted.
+
+"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Lily cried.
+
+They both felt sad and nervous. They had broken their toy and their friendship. They did not know what to do. They looked at each other and then at the button on the floor. They both felt sorry. They both wanted to say something. But they did not know how.
+Lily was a little mouse who liked to walk and explore. One day, she walked far away from her home and found a big house. She smelled something sweet and followed her nose. She saw a big cake on a table and wanted to taste it.
+
+But when she climbed on the table, she heard a loud bark. A big dog was in the house and saw her. The dog ran to the table and tried to catch her. Lily was scared and ran away. She jumped off the table and ran to the door.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" the dog shouted. "I just want to play with you!"
+
+But Lily did not stop. She did not want to play with the dog. She wanted to go back to her home. She ran out of the door and saw a big tree. She climbed the tree and hid in a hole.
+
+She was safe, but she was hungry. She looked at the cake and felt sad. She wanted to taste the sweet cake, but she could not. She only had a bitter leaf to eat. She ate the leaf and wished she had never walked to the big house. She missed her home and her family. She hoped they would find her soon.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a firework that their dad gave them. It was shiny and colorful, and it made a loud noise when it flew in the sky.
+
+One day, their mom said they could go to the park and use the firework. Lily and Ben were very happy and ran to get their coats and shoes. But when they reached the door, they saw that it was raining hard. Their mom said they had to remain inside until the rain stopped.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad and bored. They looked at the firework and wondered if they could use it inside. Ben had an idea. He said to Lily, "Let's go to the basement and light the firework. It will be fun and no one will see us."
+
+Lily was scared. She said to Ben, "No, that's a bad idea. The firework is dangerous. It can hurt us or make a fire. Mom and dad said we have to be careful with it and only use it outside. We should wait for the rain to stop."
+
+Ben was selfish. He did not listen to Lily. He said, "You are a baby. I am brave. I want to see the firework now. You can stay here if you are scared. I will go to the basement and have fun by myself." He grabbed the firework and ran to the basement.
+
+Lily was worried. She followed Ben and tried to stop him. She said, "Ben, please don't do it. It's not safe. It's not nice. It's not fair. Share the firework with me and wait for the rain to stop. We can have fun together later."
+
+But Ben did not listen to Lily. He lit the firework and threw it on the floor. It made a loud noise and a bright flash. It scared Ben and Lily. It also scared their mom and dad, who heard the noise and came to the basement. They saw the firework and the smoke and the mess. They were angry and scared. They said to Ben and Lily, "What did you do? You could have hurt yourself or others. You could have started a fire. You were very naughty and selfish. You did not follow the rules. You did not share the firework. You did not respect the firework. You are in big trouble."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry. They said to their mom and dad, "We are sorry. We made a mistake. We were bored and curious. We wanted to see the firework. We did not think about the danger or the consequences. We did not mean to be naughty or selfish. We love you and the firework. Please forgive us."
+
+Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "We love you too. We are glad you are safe. But you have to learn from your mistake. You have to be careful and responsible. You have to follow the rules and share the firework. You have to respect the firework and use it only outside. You have to wait for the right time and place. You have to be patient and kind. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said, "We understand. We will do better next time. We will be patient and kind. We will be careful and responsible. We will follow the rules and share the firework. We will respect the firework and use it only outside. We will wait for the right time and place. We will have fun together later."
+
+Their mom and dad smiled and said, "That's good. We are proud of you. Now let's go and clean up the basement. And maybe, if the rain stops, we can go to the park and use the firework together. How does that sound?"
+
+Ben and Lily smiled and said, "That sounds great. Thank you, mom and dad. We love you and the firework." They hugged their mom and dad and went to clean up the basement. They hoped the rain would stop soon. They looked forward to seeing the firework in the sky. They learned their lesson. They were not selfish anymore.
+Ben and Lily were twins who loved to play outside. They liked to run, jump, and chase each other in the park. Sometimes they saw big birds in the sky, and they wondered what they were.
+
+One day, they saw something different. It was not a bird, but a shiny thing that made a loud noise. It had wings, but no feathers. It had a tail, but no beak. It flew very fast and left a white line behind it.
+
+"Look, look!" Ben shouted. "What is that?"
+
+Lily pointed at the sky. "I think it is a plane. Daddy told me about planes. They are like big toys that people can ride in. They can go very far and see many things."
+
+Ben and Lily admired the plane. They wished they could ride in it and see the world. They waved at the plane and hoped it would see them.
+
+The plane flew over the park and made a big loop. Then it flew back and dipped its wings. It was like it was saying hello to Ben and Lily. They were so happy and surprised. They clapped their hands and cheered.
+
+"Wow, wow!" Ben said. "The plane saw us! It said hello to us!"
+
+Lily smiled. She felt very cheerful. "Yes, it did! The plane is very nice. Maybe it will come back again."
+
+Ben and Lily hugged each other. They felt very lucky. They loved planes and they loved each other. They decided to make a plane out of paper and fly it in the park. They hoped their plane would make someone else happy too.
+Lily was anxious. She was going to start school in a new year. She did not know any of the other kids or the teacher. She did not want to leave her mom and dad.
+
+"Will you come with me, mom?" she asked, holding her mom's hand.
+
+"No, sweetie, I can't. But I will be here when you come back. You will have fun at school, I promise. You will make new friends and learn new things." her mom said, smiling.
+
+Lily felt a tear roll down her cheek. She wiped it with her sleeve. She did not want to cry. She wanted to be brave.
+
+"OK, mom. I will try." she said, nodding.
+
+They walked to the school bus. Lily saw other kids with their moms and dads. Some of them looked happy, some of them looked scared. Lily climbed on the bus and waved to her mom. Her mom waved back and blew her a kiss.
+
+Lily sat on a seat by the window. She looked out and saw the trees and houses go by. She wondered what school would be like. She hoped it would be nice. She hoped she would find a friend. She hoped her mom would be proud of her. She wiped her nose and smiled. She was ready for a new year.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers and bugs. They liked to look at the bugs and learn their names. One day, they found a big green caterpillar on a leaf. It had many legs and a funny face.
+
+"Look, a caterpillar!" Tom said. "I want to keep it as a pet."
+
+"No, I want it!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and soft."
+
+They both reached for the caterpillar. They pulled and tugged. The caterpillar was scared and angry. It bit Tom's finger. Tom cried out and let go. Lily grabbed the caterpillar and ran away.
+
+Tom was very sad and mad. He wanted to get the caterpillar back. He saw a jar of jam on the table. He had an idea. He took the jar and opened it. He spread the jam all over Lily's toys and clothes. He made a big mess.
+
+Lily came back with the caterpillar. She put it in a box with some leaves. She was very happy. She wanted to show Tom her new pet. She looked for Tom. She saw him in her room. She saw the jam on her things. She screamed.
+
+"What did you do?" Lily said. "You ruined my toys and clothes!"
+
+"You took my caterpillar!" Tom said. "You were mean to me!"
+
+They both started to yell and fight. They did not see the caterpillar crawl out of the box. It was hungry and curious. It saw the jam. It liked the jam. It ate the jam. It ate too much jam. It felt sick. It died.
+
+The end.
+Ben loves trucks. He has many trucks in his room. He has big trucks, small trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. He likes to play with them and make vroom-vroom sounds.
+
+One day, he goes to the park with his mom. He sees a real truck on the road. It is a fire truck. It is shiny and loud. It has a ladder and a hose. Ben is very excited. He wants to see the fire truck up close.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the fire truck?" he asks.
+
+"Sure, Ben. But we have to be careful and polite. The fire truck is for the firefighters. They help people when there is a fire. They are very brave and kind." his mom says.
+
+They walk to the fire truck. Ben sees a firefighter. He is wearing a helmet and a coat. He smiles at Ben and his mom.
+
+"Hello, little boy. Do you like the fire truck?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, I love trucks. They are fun and cool. Can I touch the fire truck?" Ben says.
+
