From that day on, Lily always made sure to clean up her toys and say thank you to others. +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily. She wanted to go to the park, but she didn't know how to get there. So, she asked her mom if they could take a taxi. + +Her mom said, "Sure, we can take a taxi. But we have to be careful and only get in an honest taxi." + +They went outside and waved their hands to stop a taxi. A taxi stopped in front of them and the driver said, "Where do you want to go?" + +Lily's mom asked, "Are you an honest taxi driver?" + +The taxi driver replied, "Yes, I am. I care about my passengers and want to make sure they get to their destination safely." + +Lily and her mom felt relieved and got into the taxi. They arrived at the park and had a great time playing together. When it was time to go home, they took the same honest taxi driver and arrived home safely. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy was very restless and couldn't sit still for very long. One day, Timmy went to the park with his mom. He wanted to play on the swings but his mom said they had to go on the slide first. + +Timmy didn't want to go on the slide, but his mom said they could point out all the different colors on the way down. Timmy thought that sounded fun, so he went down the slide with his mom. They pointed out all the colors and Timmy felt happy. + +After the slide, Timmy and his mom went to play on the swings. Timmy wanted to swing as high as he could. He pumped his legs and went higher and higher. Finally, he reached the top and shouted "Victory!" His mom smiled and said, "You did it, Timmy!" Timmy felt proud of himself and was happy to have a fun day at the park with his mom. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to help her mommy in the kitchen. One day, her mommy asked her to peel an onion. Lily tried her best, but the onion made her cry. + +After a while, Lily got restless and started to play with a toy car. She drove it around the kitchen and accidentally bumped into a glass. The glass fell on the ground and broke into many pieces. + +Lily's mommy heard the sound and rushed into the kitchen. She saw the broken glass and asked Lily if she was hurt. Lily shook her head and said she was sorry. Her mommy hugged her and said it was okay, accidents happen. They cleaned up the broken glass together and continued to cook dinner. +Lily and Tom like to play in the garden. They have a big ball and a small shovel. They kick the ball and dig in the dirt. They have fun. + +One day, they see a hole in the fence. They are curious. They want to see what is on the other side. They go to the hole and look through. + +"Wow, look, Tom!" Lily says. "There are many flowers and bees and birds. It is so pretty!" + +"Can we go there, Lily?" Tom asks. "Can we play with the flowers and the bees and the birds?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She remembers what Mommy said. "Be careful, kids. Don't go to the other side of the fence. It is not safe. There may be dogs or cars or strangers. Stay in the garden." + +Lily shakes her head. "No, Tom. We can't go there. It is not safe. Mommy said so. We have to stay in the garden. We can play with the ball and the shovel. They are fun too." + +Tom nods. He understands. He does not want to get hurt or lost or scared. He loves Mommy and Lily. He wants to be good. He says, "OK, Lily. You are right. We can't go there. We have to be careful. Let's play with the ball and the shovel." + +Lily smiles. She is happy. She hugs Tom. They are good kids. They go back to the ball and the shovel. They play in the garden. They have fun. +Ben and Mia are playing with their cars on the floor. They have a white cop car and a red fire truck. They make noises and pretend to chase bad guys and put out fires. + +But then, Mia wants to play with the white cop car. She grabs it from Ben and says, "Mine!" + +Ben is angry. He says, "No, mine! Give it back!" + +They pull and tug on the car. They yell and cry. They do not share. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Stop fighting! You have to share your toys. If you can't share, you have to leave them here and go to your rooms." + +Ben and Mia do not want to leave their toys. They want to play. But they are also scared of Mom. They let go of the car and run to their rooms. They slam the doors. + +Mom picks up the white cop car and the red fire truck. She puts them on the shelf. She says, "Maybe tomorrow you can play nicely. But today, you have to learn your lesson." +Tommy was sick. He had a mild fever and a sore throat. He did not want to eat or play. His mom took him to the hospital to see the doctor. + +The doctor was nice. He looked at Tommy's throat and ears. He said Tommy had an infection. He gave Tommy some medicine and a sticker. He said Tommy had to stay in the hospital for one night. + +Tommy was scared. He did not like the hospital. It was big and noisy. He missed his mom and his toys. He cried and held his mom's hand. + +His mom hugged him. She said she would stay with him. She said the hospital was a good place. It had nurses and machines that helped sick people get better. She said Tommy would go home soon. + +Tommy felt a little better. He took his medicine and drank some juice. He watched some cartoons on the TV. He smiled at his mom. He said he loved her. He said he was brave. His mom said she was proud of him. She said she loved him too. They cuddled and fell asleep. +Lily had a plastic doll that she loved very much. She named her doll Anna and played with her every day. She took Anna to the park, to the bath, and to bed. Anna was Lily's best friend. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the supermarket. Lily brought Anna with her and held her in her arms. She saw many things in the supermarket: fruits, vegetables, cookies, and toys. She wanted to look at everything. + +"Lily, stay close to me, okay?" her mom said. "Don't run away or you might get lost." + +"Okay, mom," Lily said. But she was very curious and wanted to see more. She saw a big pile of stuffed animals and ran to them. She put Anna down for a moment and picked up a fluffy bear. She hugged it and smiled. + +But when she turned around, she couldn't see Anna anymore. She looked everywhere, but Anna was gone. Someone had taken her or moved her. Lily felt very sad and worried. She started to cry. + +"Anna! Anna! Where are you?" she shouted. + +Her mom heard her and came to her. She saw Lily crying and asked her what was wrong. + +"Mom, I lost Anna! I can't find her!" Lily sobbed. + +"Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. Let's look for her together, okay? Maybe she's still here somewhere," her mom said. She hugged Lily and tried to calm her down. + +They searched the supermarket, but they couldn't find Anna. Lily felt very bad. She thought she would never see Anna again. She wished she had listened to her mom and stayed close to her. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I was bad. I should have stayed with you. I miss Anna so much," she said. + +"It's okay, Lily. I know you didn't mean to lose Anna. You're not bad. You're a good girl. I love you," her mom said. She kissed Lily and wiped her tears. + +"Maybe someone found Anna and will bring her back. Or maybe we can get you a new doll. Would you like that?" she asked. + +Lily shook her head. She didn't want a new doll. She wanted Anna. She was the only doll she loved. + +"Mom, can we go home now? I don't want to be here anymore," she said. + +"Okay, Lily. Let's go home. Maybe Anna will come back to us someday," her mom said. She took Lily's hand and walked to the car. + +Lily hoped her mom was right. She hoped Anna was safe and happy. She hoped she would see her again. She closed her eyes and whispered, "Anna, I love you. Please come back to me." +Tom and Sam are friends who like to play with toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big jet that can fly in the air. They take turns to make the jet zoom and swoop and make loud noises. + +One day, they go to the park with their jet. They see a big hill and decide to fly the jet from the top. They run up the hill and get ready to launch the jet. But they do not see a big dog that is also in the park. The dog sees the jet and thinks it is a bird. He wants to catch it and bite it. + +Tom and Sam throw the jet in the air and watch it fly. They are happy and excited. But the dog is faster and runs after the jet. He jumps and snaps his teeth at the jet. He almost gets it, but the jet flies away. Tom and Sam are scared and worried. They want to get their jet back. + +They shout at the dog and try to warn him. They say, "No, dog, no! That is our jet! Leave it alone!" But the dog does not listen. He is envious of the jet and wants to have it for himself. He chases the jet all over the park. He does not care about Tom and Sam. + +Tom and Sam follow the dog and the jet. They hope the jet will not break or get lost. They hope the dog will get tired or bored. They hope they can get their jet back and play with it again. They love their jet and do not want to lose it. They wish the dog would leave them alone. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box that they pretended was a spaceship. They made noises like rockets and stars. + +"Let's go to the moon!" said Lily. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. There are aliens there!" said Ben. + +They climbed into the box and closed the lid. They counted to ten and then opened it again. They saw a different garden with strange plants and rocks. + +"Wow, we are on the moon!" said Lily. + +She jumped out of the box and ran to explore. Ben followed her, but he saw something move behind a rock. It was a green creature with big eyes and a long tail. It was an alien! + +"Help, Lily! There is an alien!" said Ben. + +He ran back to the box, but the alien was faster. It grabbed the box and lifted it up. It wanted to keep the box for itself. + +"Let go of our spaceship!" said Lily. + +She threw a rock at the alien. It hit its head and made it drop the box. Lily and Ben quickly got inside and closed the lid. + +"Let's escape!" said Ben. + +They counted to ten and then opened the lid again. They saw their own garden with their mom and dad. + +"Hi, kids! Did you have fun?" said mom. + +"Yes, we did! We went to the moon and met an alien!" said Lily. + +"Wow, that sounds brilliant!" said dad. + +They hugged their parents and told them all about their adventure. They were happy to be home, but they also wanted to play in their spaceship again. Maybe next time they would go to another planet. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and sharp teeth. + +"Wow, look at the dog!" Tim says. "I want to pet it. It looks so soft." + +"I don't know, Tim," Mia says. "The dog might not like it. It might bite you. It might be mean." + +Tim does not listen to Mia. He has an idea. He runs to the dog. He tries to touch its fur. The dog does not like it. It growls and snaps at Tim. It bites his hand. Tim feels pain. He screams and cries. + +Mia runs to Tim. She tries to help him. She feels scared and sad. She says, "I'm sorry, Tim. I told you not to pet the dog. Are you okay?" + +Tim is not okay. He is hurt and angry. He says, "Go away, Mia. You are not my friend. You are not kind. You did not help me. You made the dog bite me." + +Mia feels hurt and confused. She did not make the dog bite Tim. She tried to warn him. She tried to help him. She says, "But Tim, I am your friend. I am kind. I did help you. I did not make the dog bite you." + +Tim does not listen to Mia. He does not want to talk to her. He does not want to play with her. He walks away. He leaves Mia alone. Mia feels sad and lonely. She cries. She has no friend. The end. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today, they are going to the store with Mom. Mom says they need to buy some food and clothes. + +"Are you ready, Sara and Tom?" Mom asks. She puts on her coat and hat. + +"Yes, Mom, we are ready!" Sara and Tom say. They put on their coats and hats too. They are excited to go to the store. + +Mom takes Sara's hand and Tom's hand. She leads them to the car. She buckles them in their seats. She drives to the store. + +At the store, Mom gives Sara and Tom a small basket each. She says they can help her pick some things.

Tom says. He puts some socks in his basket. + +"Good job, Sara and Tom!" Mom says. She smiles and hugs them. "You are very helpful. Let's go pay and go home." + +Sara and Tom are proud. They lead Mom to the cashier. They give their baskets to the cashier. The cashier scans the things and puts them in bags. + +"Thank you, Mom, for taking us to the store!"

She buckles them in their seats. She drives home. Sara and Tom are happy. They had fun at the store. +Tom liked to whistle. He whistled when he played, when he ate, and when he slept. He whistled so much that his mom and dad called him Whistling Tom. + +One day, Tom went to the gym with his dad. The gym was a big place with many things to do. There were balls, ropes, mats, and hoops. Tom wanted to try everything. He whistled as he ran, jumped, and swung. + +"Tom, do you want to play catch with me?" his dad asked. + +"Yes, dad, I do!" Tom said. He whistled as he caught the ball and threw it back. + +But then, something happened. Tom saw a big red button on the wall. He wondered what it did. He whistled as he walked towards it. + +"Tom, don't touch that!" his dad shouted. + +But it was too late. Tom pushed the button. A loud siren went off. The gym was on fire! + +Tom was scared. He stopped whistling. He ran to his dad. His dad hugged him and took him outside. The firemen came and put out the fire. + +"Tom, are you okay?" his dad asked. + +"I'm okay, dad. I'm sorry. I didn't know what the button did," Tom said. + +"It's okay, Tom. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to be careful. You can't touch things you don't know," his dad said. + +"I know, dad. I learned my lesson. Can we go home now?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, Tom. Let's go home. It's warm and cozy there. And maybe you can whistle a song for me," his dad said. + +Tom smiled. He whistled as he held his dad's hand. He was Whistling Tom again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with many pastries inside. The pastries looked yummy and sweet. Lily and Tom wanted to try some. + +They ran to the truck and climbed inside. They saw many boxes of pastries. They opened one box and took out a pastry each. They bit into them and smiled. + +"Wow, these are so good!" Lily said. + +"I know, right?" Tom said. + +They did not see the man who owned the truck. He was busy talking on his phone. He was ignorant. He did not care about his pastries or his truck. + +Suddenly, the truck started to move. The man had finished his phone call and got into the driver's seat. He did not notice Lily and Tom inside. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not want to go with the truck. They wanted to go back to the park. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +But the man did not hear them. He drove the truck away from the park. + +Lily and Tom looked around. They saw a big red button on the wall. It said "STOP". + +"Maybe this will stop the truck!" Lily said. + +She pushed the button hard. The truck stopped with a loud screech. The man was surprised. He got out of the truck and opened the back door. + +He saw Lily and Tom with pastries in their hands. He was angry. + +"What are you doing here? How did you get in? These are my pastries!" he yelled. + +Lily and Tom were sorry. They did not mean to steal the pastries. They did not know they belonged to the man. + +"We are sorry, sir. We were playing in the park and we saw the pastries. They looked yummy and sweet. We wanted to try some. We did not see you. We did not know they were yours." Lily said. + +The man calmed down. He saw that Lily and Tom were just kids. They did not know better. He was still ignorant, but he was not mean. + +He took the pastries from them and put them back in the box. He gave them each a different pastry. + +"Here, you can have these. But don't ever do that again. Don't go into other people's trucks. Don't take other people's things. It's not nice. It's not safe." he said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They thanked the man and took the pastries. They got out of the truck and ran back to the park. They learned their lesson. They ate their pastries and shared them with their friends. They were happy. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was on top. + +"Come on, Anna, let's go up the tree!" Tom said. + +"OK, Tom, but be careful!" Anna said. + +They followed a branch that was low and strong. They held on to the branch and moved up the tree. They saw many birds and squirrels in the tree. They also saw a hole in the trunk. + +"Look, Anna, there is a hole! Maybe there is something inside!" Tom said. + +"Let's see, Tom, but don't touch anything!" Anna said. + +They peered into the hole. They saw a cloth that was old and torn. The cloth had many colors and patterns. It looked like a blanket or a rug. + +"Wow, Anna, this is a pretty cloth! I wonder who put it here!" Tom said. + +"I don't know, Tom, maybe someone who lived a long time ago. Maybe this cloth is ancient!" Anna said. + +They heard a loud noise. It was a man who was shouting. + +"Hey, you kids, get down from that tree! That's my cloth! I found it in the old house! It's very valuable!" The man said. + +Tom and Anna were scared. They did not know the man. They did not want to make him angry. They quickly climbed down the tree and ran away. They left the cloth in the hole. + +"Sorry, mister, we did not mean to take your cloth!" Tom said. + +"We were just looking, mister, we did not know it was yours!" Anna said. + +They ran back to their mom and dad. They told them what happened. They learned that the cloth was a quilt that was made by the man's grandmother. The man was a collector who liked old things. He was not very nice. + +"Tom and Anna, you did the right thing. You should not touch things that are not yours. You should also be careful of strangers. The cloth was not a toy. It was a treasure." Mom said. + +"Yes, Tom and Anna, you were brave and smart. You should also be proud. You saw something that was ancient and beautiful. The cloth was a story. It told about the people who made it and used it." Dad said. + +Tom and Anna hugged their mom and dad. They were happy and safe. They still liked the cloth, but they did not want it. They had their own stories to make. +Ben was sad. He had no friends to play with. He looked out the window and saw a gloomy sky. It was cold and rainy. He wished he had a hat to keep his head warm. + +He saw a girl walking by. She had a big red hat on her head. It looked cozy and fun. Ben wanted to say hello, but he was shy. He watched the girl go to the park. + +Ben put on his coat and boots. He followed the girl to the park. He saw her sit on a bench. She took off her hat and put it on her lap. She looked sad too. + +Ben walked up to the girl. He smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" + +The girl looked up and said, "Hi, I'm Mia. I'm new here. I don't have any friends." + +Ben said, "I don't have any friends either. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Mia nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I do. But it's cold and rainy. Can you lend me your hat?" + +Mia said, "Sure, I can lend you my hat. Here you go." + +She gave Ben her hat. He put it on his head. It was cozy and fun. He said, "Thank you, Mia. You are very nice." + +Mia said, "You're welcome, Ben. You are very nice too." + +They held hands and ran to the swings. They laughed and played. They forgot about the gloomy sky. They were happy. They were friends. +Lily and Tom were busy playing in the garden. They liked to dig, run, and chase each other. They also liked to watch the birds that flew in the sky or sat on the trees. + +One day, they saw a big black bird with a shiny beak. It was a raven. The raven was sitting on a branch and making loud noises. Lily and Tom wanted to see it closer, so they walked towards the tree. + +"Hello, raven!" Lily said. "What are you doing?" + +The raven looked at them and said, "Caw, caw, caw!" + +Tom thought the raven was talking to them. He said, "Can you say something else?" + +The raven said, "Caw, caw, caw!" + +Lily and Tom laughed. They thought the raven was funny. They decided to play with it. They threw some stones and sticks at the tree, hoping the raven would catch them or fly away. + +But the raven did not like their game. It was angry and scared. It wanted them to leave it alone. It flapped its wings and shook its head. It said, "Caw, caw, caw!" + +Lily and Tom did not understand. They thought the raven was playing back. They threw more stones and sticks at the tree, making more noise. + +The raven had enough. It flew off the branch and swooped down at them. It pecked at their hair and clothes. It said, "Caw, caw, caw!" + +Lily and Tom screamed. They were afraid and hurt. They ran away from the tree, crying and calling for their mom. + +The raven watched them go. It was glad and proud. It said, "Caw, caw, caw!" +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse. They pretended to be a family with the dolls and made up stories. + +One day, their mom said they could have some sugar after lunch. Lily and Max were very happy and ran to the kitchen. They saw a big jar of sugar on the counter. Lily wanted to have some right away, but Max said they had to wait for mom. + +Lily did not listen to Max. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. She opened it and took a big handful of sugar. She put it in her mouth and smiled. It was very sweet and crunchy. + +Max saw what Lily did and was angry. He said, "Lily, you are bad! You have to share the sugar with me! And mom will be mad at you!" + +Lily ignored Max. She did not care what he said. She took another handful of sugar and ate it. She felt happy and did not want to stop. + +Max was very sad and hurt. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He took his dolls and went to his room. He closed the door and cried. + +Mom came back from the store and saw the mess in the kitchen. She saw the empty jar of sugar and the chair. She knew what happened. She was very upset and disappointed. + +She went to Lily's room and knocked on the door. She said, "Lily, open the door. We need to talk." + +Lily heard mom's voice and felt scared. She knew she did something wrong. She hid under the bed and did not answer. + +Mom opened the door and saw Lily's bald head poking out from under the bed. She had eaten so much sugar that her hair had fallen out. Mom was shocked and sad. She said, "Lily, what have you done? You ate all the sugar and made yourself sick. And you ignored your brother and made him cry. How could you be so selfish and greedy?" + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She came out from under the bed and hugged mom. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was silly and naughty. I love you and Max. Please forgive me." + +Mom hugged Lily back and said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to learn to share and listen. And you have to take care of your health. Sugar is not good for you. It can make you sick and bald. You have to eat healthy food and drink water. And you have to say sorry to Max and play nicely with him. He is your twin and your friend." + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will do that. I will be a good girl. Can we go to Max's room and say sorry?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go." She took Lily's hand and they went to Max's room. They knocked on the door and said, "Max, can we come in? We have something to say to you." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had many things inside, like books, clothes, and tools. They also saw a small mill that could make flour from grains. + +"Look, Lily, a mill!" Tom said. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. It might be sharp or heavy," Lily said. + +They took the mill out of the box and put it on the floor. They found some corn and wheat in the kitchen and poured them into the mill. They turned the handle and watched the flour come out. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Tom said. "We can make bread or cake with this flour!" + +"Or we can display it on the shelf, like a decoration," Lily said. "It is very pretty and old." + +They decided to display the mill on the shelf in their room. They cleaned it and wrapped it with a thin cloth. They carried it together and put it on the shelf. They were very proud of their mill. + +"Look, Mom, look, Dad, we found a mill in the garage!" they shouted. + +Mom and Dad came to their room and saw the mill. They smiled and hugged the twins. + +"That's a very nice mill, Tom and Lily," Mom said. "Where did you find it?" + +"In the garage, in a big box," Tom said. + +"That box belongs to your grandpa," Dad said. "He used to work in a mill when he was young. He gave us the mill as a gift when we moved here." + +"Really? That's so cool!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is. The mill is very special and valuable. You can keep it, but you have to take good care of it," Dad said. + +"OK, we will, Dad. We love the mill!" Tom and Lily said. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big jar of jam on the shelf. They wanted to taste it, so they climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. But the jar was too heavy and slippery, and it fell on the floor with a loud crash. The jam spilled everywhere, and the glass broke into sharp pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Mom will be very angry. She will punish us!" + +Ben was scared too. He tried to pick up the glass, but he cut his finger and it hurt. He started to cry. "It's not fair. We only wanted some jam. Now we are in trouble and we are hurt." + +They heard Mom coming from the living room. She had heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and the blood and was shocked. She ran to the twins and hugged them. + +"What did you do?" she asked. "Are you okay?" + +Lily and Ben felt helpless. They could not explain. They were sorry and ashamed. They thought Mom would yell at them and send them to their room. + +But Mom did not yell. She was not angry. She was worried. She took Ben to the sink and washed his finger. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. She told Lily to get a broom and a dustpan and help her clean the floor. She said they had to be careful with the glass and the jam. + +She said, "I know you were curious, but you should not touch things that are not yours. Jam is not a toy. It is food. And glass is dangerous. It can cut you and make you bleed. You could have been hurt worse. You have to listen to me and follow the rules. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We understand. We will not do it again." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I love you, my sweeties. But next time, if you want some jam, just ask me. I will give you some on a slice of bread. Okay?" + +Lily and Ben smiled too. They said, "Okay, Mom. Thank you. We love you too." + +Mom hugged them again. She said, "Now let's finish cleaning and then have some jam and bread. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben said, "That sounds good, Mom. That sounds very good." +Lily and Ben were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their luggage with their toys, books and clothes. They put their luggage in the car and got in. + +But when they got to the airport, they saw a long line of people. They had to wait and wait and wait. Lily and Ben got bored and tired. They started to frown and whine. + +Mom and Dad tried to cheer them up. They said they would see new places and have fun. They said they had a rare chance to fly on a big plane. They said they would get some snacks and stickers on the plane. + +Lily and Ben tried to listen, but they still felt sad and angry. They did not want to wait anymore. They wanted to go now. They wanted to play with their toys. They wanted to be at home. + +They did not know that the line was moving faster and faster. They did not know that they were almost at the front. They did not know that their frowns would soon turn into smiles. They did not know that their trip was about to begin. +Tim and Jen like to walk in nature. They see many animals and plants. They hear birds and water. They feel happy and curious. + +One day, they find a big hole in the ground. They wonder what is inside. Tim says, "Let's go and look." Jen says, "No, it is too dark and scary. We might get hurt or lost." Tim says, "Don't be silly. It will be fun. I am brave and smart. You are foolish and scared." + +Tim jumps into the hole. Jen waits for him. She hears him scream. She is very afraid. She calls his name. He does not answer. She cries and cries. She does not know what to do. + +A big snake comes out of the hole. It has Tim in its mouth. It looks at Jen. It is hungry and angry. Jen runs away. She tries to find help. But it is too late. The snake is faster. It catches her and eats her too. + +The end. +Ben and Mia like to play with their toy train. It has many cars and a big engine. The engine has a red symbol on it. The symbol is a star. Ben and Mia think the star is pretty. + +One day, Ben and Mia find a new toy in their room. It is a fake train. It looks like their toy train, but it is smaller and lighter. It has a blue symbol on it. The symbol is a circle. Ben and Mia do not like the circle. They think it is boring. + +"Let's play with our real train," Ben says. He pulls the engine and the cars out of the toy box. He puts them on the floor. + +"No, let's play with the fake train," Mia says. She pulls the fake train out of the bag. She puts it on the table. + +Ben and Mia start to argue. They both want to play with their own train. They do not want to share. + +"Give me the fake train," Ben says. He tries to pull it from Mia's hand. + +"No, it's mine," Mia says. She pulls it back. + +They pull and pull. They do not see that the fake train is breaking. The blue symbol falls off. The fake train falls apart. + +Ben and Mia stop pulling. They look at the broken fake train. They feel sad. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Ben says. "I broke your train." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Mia says. "I was mean to you." + +They hug each other. They decide to play with their real train together. They think the red star is better than the blue circle. They think their real train is better than the fake train. They are happy. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play games. Today they play race. They run from the sofa to the door and back. They see who is faster. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily says. She runs as fast as she can. Max runs after her. He tries to catch her. They laugh and shout. + +They reach the door and turn around. They run to the sofa. Lily is ahead. She jumps on the sofa. "I win!" she says. Max jumps on the sofa too. He hugs her. "You are fast!" he says. + +They are hungry. They smell something good. Mom is in the kitchen. She makes soup. She puts it in a big bowl. She calls them. "Lily, Max, come and eat!" + +They run to the kitchen. They sit at the table. Mom gives them each a small bowl. She fills it with soup. She says, "Be careful, the soup is spicy. It can make your mouth hot." + +Lily and Max blow on the soup. They take a sip. They make a face. The soup is spicy. It makes their mouth hot. They drink some water. They say, "Mom, the soup is spicy!" + +Mom smiles. She says, "I know, I like spicy soup. Do you want some bread? It can make your mouth cool." + +Lily and Max nod. They want some bread. Mom gives them some bread. They dip it in the soup. They eat it. They like it. They say, "Mom, the bread is good!" + +Mom says, "I'm glad you like it. You are brave to try spicy soup. You are good racers too. You are my sweet twins." She kisses them. They kiss her back. They are happy. +Sam liked to play with his fly. He found it in the park and put it in a jar. He gave it some leaves and water and watched it buzz. He named it Buzz and talked to it every day. + +One day, Sam's big brother Tom saw the jar and opened it. He wanted to see the fly better. He grabbed it with his fingers and squeezed it hard. The fly made a loud noise and bit Tom. Tom yelled and threw the fly on the floor. + +Sam heard the noise and ran to his room. He saw his fly on the floor, not moving. He picked it up and cried. He put it back in the jar and hoped it would heal. He said, "I'm sorry, Buzz. Please don't die." + +But the fly did not heal. It did not buzz or move or eat. It was dead. Sam was very sad and angry. He hated Tom for hurting his fly. He said, "You are a bad brother. You killed my fly. I don't like you." + +Tom felt bad too. He did not mean to kill the fly. He said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was curious. I didn't know it would bite me. Can we be friends again?" + +But Sam did not listen. He turned away and hugged his jar. He did not want to be friends with Tom. He only wanted his fly back. But his fly was gone forever. The end. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys in the garden. But one day, they had a big quarrel. It was about a pink ball. + +"That's my ball!" Lily said. "You gave it to me for my birthday!" + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. "You only borrowed it from me!" + +They both pulled the ball hard. They did not want to share. They were very stubborn. + +Their mom saw them fighting. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, you two! You are being very rude and selfish. If you can't play nicely, you will have to go inside and have a time out." + +Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept on quarreling. They did not see the dog running towards them. The dog liked balls. He saw the pink ball and wanted to play with it. + +He jumped and snatched the ball from their hands. He ran away with it. He bit it and tore it. The ball was ruined. + +Lily and Ben were shocked. They looked at the dog and then at each other. They felt sad and sorry. They realized they had been foolish. They had lost their ball and their fun. + +They hugged and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. You are my friend. Can we play together again?" + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's better. I'm glad you made up. But next time, remember to share and be kind. And watch out for the dog!" +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, big and small, furry and scaly, loud and quiet. Lily liked the monkeys best. They jumped and swung and made funny faces. Ben liked the lions best. They roared and slept and looked strong. + +"Can we wave to the animals?" Lily asked Mom. + +"Sure, but be careful. Some animals might not like it," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben waved to the monkeys. The monkeys waved back and smiled. Lily and Ben laughed. They waved to the lions. The lions did not wave back. They growled and showed their teeth. Lily and Ben were scared. + +"Stop waving to the lions. They are bossy and mean," Ben said. + +"No, they are not. They are just tired and hungry," Lily said. + +"Yes, they are. They want to eat us," Ben said. + +"No, they don't. They have their own food," Lily said. + +Lily and Ben started to argue. Mom and Dad heard them and came over. + +"What's wrong, kids?" Dad asked. + +"Lily and Ben are waving to the animals, but they don't agree on which ones are nice and which ones are bossy," Mom explained. + +Dad smiled and hugged them. + +"Listen, kids. All animals are different. Some are friendly and some are not. Some like to wave and some don't. But they all deserve our respect and kindness. We can wave to them, but we should also leave them alone when they want to. OK?" Dad said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. + +"OK, Dad. We're sorry for arguing," Lily said. + +"Me too. Can we go see the elephants now?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, let's go. Maybe they will wave to us too," Dad said. + +Lily and Ben held hands and followed Mom and Dad. They waved to the animals, but they also listened to Dad. They had a fun day at the zoo. +Tim and Mia were playing in the kitchen. They were bored. There was nothing fun to do. They saw a big cupboard with many things inside. They wanted to see what was in there. + +"Let's open the cupboard," Tim said. "Maybe we can find something cool." + +"OK," Mia said. "But we have to be careful. Mom said not to touch the cupboard." + +They went to the cupboard and tried to open it. But it was too high for them. They could not reach the handle. + +"I have an idea," Tim said. "We can push the chair to the cupboard and climb on it." + +"Good idea," Mia said. "You push, I climb." + +Tim pushed the chair to the cupboard. It was heavy. He pushed hard. Mia climbed on the chair. She reached the handle. She pulled it. + +The cupboard opened. But it was not cool. It was scary. Many things fell out of the cupboard. Pots, pans, plates, cups, spoons, knives. They made a loud noise. They hit Tim and Mia. They hurt them. They broke on the floor. + +Tim and Mia screamed. They were scared. They were hurt. They wanted Mom. + +Mom heard the noise. She ran to the kitchen. She saw the mess. She saw Tim and Mia. She was angry. She was worried. + +"What have you done?" Mom yelled. "You are in big trouble. You could have been hurt badly. You should not touch the cupboard. You should not push the chair. You should not play in the kitchen. You should listen to me." + +Tim and Mia cried. They were sorry. They were in trouble. They wished they had not opened the cupboard. They wished they had not been bored. They wished they had played somewhere else. +Lily and Max are playing with their toy cars on the floor. They make noises as they zoom their cars around the room. Lily has a red car and Max has a blue car. + +"Let's have a race!" Max says. "The couch is the finish line. Ready, set, go!" + +They zoom their cars as fast as they can. Lily's car is ahead of Max's car. She is almost at the couch. But then, Max's car bumps into Lily's car and makes it spin. Max's car zooms past Lily's car and reaches the couch first. + +"I win!" Max shouts. He picks up his car and holds it in the air. + +"That's not fair!" Lily says. She is sad and angry. She picks up her car and throws it at Max. It hits him on the head. + +"Ow!" Max says. He drops his car and rubs his head. He starts to cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes into the room. She sees Max crying and Lily looking guilty. She picks up Max and hugs him. + +"What happened?" Mom asks. + +"Max cheated!" Lily says. + +"Lily threw her car at me!" Max says. + +Mom sighs. She puts Max down and picks up the cars. She gives them back to Lily and Max. + +"Playing with cars is fun, but you have to be nice to each other," Mom says. "No cheating, no throwing, no hurting. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nod. They say sorry to each other. + +Mom smiles. She gives them each a sweet kiss and a sweet cookie. + +"Now, why don't you play together nicely on the couch?" Mom says. + +Lily and Max agree. They take their cars and their cookies and sit on the couch. They zoom their cars on the cushions and share their cookies. They are happy and friendly again. +Anna and Ben like to play in the snow. They make a big ball and a small ball. They put the small ball on top of the big ball. They have a snowman! + +They look for things to make the snowman's face. They find two rocks for the eyes, a stick for the mouth, and a carrot for the nose. They put them on the snowman. He looks funny! + +But the sun is bright and warm. The snow starts to melt. The snowman gets smaller and smaller. Anna and Ben are sad. + +They have an idea. They run to the shed and get a bucket and a shovel. They dig some dry dirt from the ground. They build a dirtman! + +They use the same rocks, stick, and carrot for the dirtman's face. He looks funny, too! + +Anna and Ben are happy. They hug the dirtman. He does not melt. He is their new friend. +Lily was a little girl who liked to pray. Every night, she would kneel by her bed and talk to God. She would thank Him for her family, her friends, and her toys. She would also ask Him for help with her problems, like learning to tie her shoes or being brave at the dentist. + +One night, Lily saw something strange in her room. It was a big, furry animal with a long tail. It was sitting on her dresser and looking at her. Lily was scared and confused. She did not know what the animal was or why it was in her room. She wondered if it was a friend or a foe. + +Lily decided to pray. She closed her eyes and whispered, "Dear God, please help me. There is a strange animal in my room and I don't know what to do. Is it a good animal or a bad animal? Can you make it go away or be nice to me? Please, God, protect me and make me calm. Amen." + +When Lily opened her eyes, she saw that the animal was still there. But it was not looking at her anymore. It was looking at the window. It seemed to hear something outside. Lily followed its gaze and saw a bright light in the sky. It was a star. It was shining very brightly and twinkling. + +Lily felt a warm feeling in her heart. She thought that maybe the star was a sign from God. Maybe He was telling her that He heard her prayer and that He was with her. Maybe the animal was not so scary after all. Maybe it was just lost and lonely. + +Lily smiled and said, "Hello, animal. I'm Lily. What is your name? Do you like stars? I do. They are pretty and make me happy. Do you want to be my friend?" The animal looked at Lily and wagged its tail. It made a soft sound, like a purr. Lily reached out her hand and touched its fur. It was soft and warm. The animal licked her hand and nuzzled her cheek. Lily giggled and hugged it. She felt safe and happy. + +Lily and the animal became friends. They played with her toys and read her books. They snuggled in her bed and watched the star. Lily thanked God for sending her a new friend. She prayed that He would bless the animal and help it find its way home. She prayed that He would watch over them and keep them safe. She prayed that He would always love them and make them happy. Amen. +Tim and Sam were playing knights in the garden. They had sticks for swords and cardboard for shields. They pretended to fight dragons and monsters. + +"Look, there is a big dragon!" Sam said, pointing to a tree. "Let's go and defeat it!" + +Tim nodded and followed Sam. They ran towards the tree, waving their sticks and shouting. But Tim was clumsy and tripped over a rock. He fell down and hurt his knee. He dropped his stick and his shield. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim cried. He felt blood on his knee and tears in his eyes. + +Sam heard Tim and ran back to him. He saw Tim's knee and his face. He felt sorry for him. + +"Don't worry, Tim," Sam said. "It's just a scratch. I'll help you get up. Here, take your shield. It will make you feel better." + +Sam gave Tim his shield and helped him stand up. He hugged him and said, "You are a brave knight, Tim. You don't have to be afraid of dragons or monsters. I'm your friend and I'll always protect you." + +Tim smiled and hugged Sam back. He said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend and a great knight. I'm sorry I was clumsy. Let's go and play some more." + +Sam nodded and said, "OK, Tim. Let's go and have fun. But be careful of the rocks!" + +They picked up their sticks and ran to the tree. They played knights until their mom called them for lunch. They were happy and forgot about their worries. +Tom and Sue were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys and books. But they did not like to share. They always fought over who had more or better things. + +One day, their mom gave them a big surprise. She said, "I have a present for both of you. It is in this box. You can open it together and see what is inside." + +Tom and Sue were very excited. They ran to the box and tore off the paper. They opened the box and saw a lot of money. They had never seen so much money before. They wanted to keep it all for themselves. + +Tom said, "This is my money. I saw it first. Go away, Sue!" + +Sue said, "No, this is my money. I opened the box with you. You are mean, Tom!" + +They started to pull and push each other. They did not notice that their mom was watching them. She was very sad. She said, "Stop, Tom and Sue! This is not how you treat a gift. This money is not for you to keep. It is for you to give to people who need it more. There are many children who have no toys, no books, no food, no home. They are miserable. You are lucky. You have everything you need. You should be grateful and generous." + +Tom and Sue felt ashamed. They realized that their mom was right. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were selfish and greedy. We want to help the miserable children. How can we do that?" + +Their mom smiled. She said, "You can come with me to the charity shop. We can donate the money there. They will use it to buy things for the miserable children. You can also give some of your toys and books that you do not play with anymore. That will make them happy." + +Tom and Sue agreed. They hugged their mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. We love you." + +They took the money and some of their toys and books and went to the charity shop. They gave them to the nice lady who worked there. She thanked them and said, "You are very kind and generous. You will make a lot of children happy. You should be proud of yourselves." + +Tom and Sue felt happy. They learned a lesson. They learned that sharing is better than fighting. They learned that giving is better than keeping. They learned that money is not the most important thing in life. They learned that love is. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But then Ben fell down and hurt his knee. He cried and cried. Lily ran to him and saw blood on his knee. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked. She felt sorry for him. + +"No, I'm not okay. It hurts a lot. I want a bandage!" Ben demanded. He was angry and sad. + +Lily looked around and saw a lady with a bag. She ran to the lady and said, "Please, can you help us? My friend needs a bandage. He hurt his knee." + +The lady smiled and said, "Of course, I can help you. You are very kind to your friend. Here, take this bandage. It has a beautiful star on it." + +Lily thanked the lady and ran back to Ben. She wrapped the bandage around his knee and said, "Look, Ben, you have a beautiful bandage. It has a star on it. You are brave and strong." + +Ben looked at his bandage and smiled. He felt better. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. And thank you, lady. You are nice." + +The lady waved and said, "You're welcome, children. Have fun and be careful." + +Lily and Ben hugged and went back to play. They were happy. They had a beautiful bandage and a beautiful friendship. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were hunters with spears. They made spears from sticks and leaves. They ran around and looked for animals to hunt. + +"Look, there is a big bear!" Tom said, pointing to a furry dog. He threw his spear at the dog, but he missed. The dog barked and ran away. + +"Ha ha, you are a bad hunter!" Lila laughed. "You cannot hit a regular dog with your spear!" + +Tom felt embarrassed. He did not like when Lila laughed at him. He wanted to show her he was a good hunter. He looked around and saw a squirrel on a tree. He picked up his spear and aimed carefully. + +"Watch this, Lila!" he said. "I will get the squirrel!" + +He threw his spear at the squirrel, but he missed again. The spear hit a branch and fell down. The squirrel chattered and ran away. + +"Ha ha, you are a worse hunter!" Lila laughed louder. "You cannot hit a small squirrel with your spear!" + +Tom felt more embarrassed. He was angry at Lila and the squirrel. He wanted to throw his spear at them, but he had no spear. He looked for his spear, but he could not find it. He saw a man walking by with a stick. + +"Hey, mister, can I have your stick?" Tom asked. "I need a spear." + +The man looked at Tom and smiled. He gave him his stick. + +"Here you go, little hunter," he said. "But be careful, this is not a regular stick. This is a magic stick. It can do anything you want, if you say the right words." + +Tom took the stick and thanked the man. He felt happy. He had a magic stick. He could hit any animal with his stick. He looked at Lila and the squirrel. He had an idea. + +He pointed his stick at Lila and said, "Stick, make Lila a frog!" + +The stick glowed and made a sound. Lila turned into a frog. She croaked and jumped. + +Tom pointed his stick at the squirrel and said, "Stick, make the squirrel a bird!" + +The stick glowed and made another sound. The squirrel turned into a bird. It flew and sang. + +Tom laughed. He was not embarrassed anymore. He was a great hunter. He had a magic stick. He could do anything he wanted. He looked at Lila and the squirrel. He felt sorry for them. He decided to change them back. + +He pointed his stick at Lila and said, "Stick, make Lila a girl!" + +The stick glowed and made a sound. Lila turned into a girl. She gasped and cried. + +He pointed his stick at the squirrel and said, "Stick, make the squirrel a squirrel!" + +The stick glowed and made another sound. The squirrel turned into a squirrel. It scampered and hid. + +Tom ran to Lila and hugged her. He said he was sorry. He said he was just playing. He said he did not mean to embarrass her. He said he liked her. + +Lila hugged him back. She said she was sorry too. She said she was just teasing. She said she did not mean to hurt him. She said she liked him too. + +They smiled and made up. They decided to play something else. They gave the stick back to the man. They thanked him for the magic stick. They said goodbye. + +The man smiled and waved. He walked away with his stick. He was not a regular man. He was a wizard. He liked to help children learn and have fun. He liked to use his magic stick. He looked for another park to visit. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, Tom gets a new toy. It is a big plane with wings and wheels. Tom is very happy. He shows his plane to Ben. + +"Wow, your plane is cool!" Ben says. "Can I play with it?" + +"Okay, but be careful. It is fragile. It can break easily," Tom says. + +Ben takes the plane and makes it fly in the air. He makes loud noises like a real plane. He has fun. But then, he throws the plane too high. The plane hits a tree and falls down. It breaks into pieces. + +"Oh no! I'm sorry, Tom. I broke your plane," Ben says. He feels bad. + +Tom is very sad. He cries. He loved his plane. He says to Ben, "You are not my friend anymore. You don't value my things. You are mean." + +Ben tries to say sorry again, but Tom does not listen. He runs away with his broken plane. + +The next day, Tom sees Ben at school. Ben has a new toy. It is a tie with stripes and stars. Ben's dad gave it to him. Ben is very proud. He shows his tie to Tom. + +"Look, Tom. This is my new tie. It is special. My dad says it is a gift for being a good boy," Ben says. + +Tom looks at the tie. He thinks it is silly. He says to Ben, "Your tie is not a toy. It is boring. It is just a piece of cloth. You can't play with it." + +Ben feels hurt. He says to Tom, "My tie is not boring. It is important to me. My dad values me. He gave me this tie. You don't understand." + +Tom does not care. He grabs the tie and pulls it hard. He wants to make Ben angry. He says to Ben, "Your tie is fragile. It can rip easily. Watch this!" + +Tom rips the tie in half. He laughs. He throws the tie on the ground. + +Ben is very sad. He cries. He loved his tie. He says to Tom, "You are not my friend anymore. You don't value me. You are mean." + +Tom tries to say sorry, but Ben does not listen. He runs away with his ripped tie. + +Tom and Ben are both unhappy. They miss each other. They realize they were wrong. They both value their toys and their friends. They both say sorry and hug. They are friends again. They learn to be kind and careful with each other's things. They share their toys and have fun. They are happy. +Sara and Ben were playing in the basement. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. Sara saw a big iron on a table. She thought it was a spy gadget. + +"Look, Ben, I found a spy gadget!" she said. "It can make things hot or cold. Maybe we can use it to melt the bad guys." + +Ben was not sure. He thought the iron looked dangerous. He was more intelligent than Sara. He remembered that Mommy said to never touch the iron. + +"Sara, don't touch the iron!" he said. "It can hurt you. Mommy said it is not a toy. It is for clothes." + +Sara did not care. She wanted to play with the iron. She thought Ben was scared. She picked up the iron and turned the knob. She felt the iron getting hot. + +"See, Ben, it is a spy gadget!" she said. "It is hot now. I can melt anything." + +She pointed the iron at Ben. Ben was scared. He tried to run away. But he tripped on a cord. The iron fell on his head. It burned his hair and skin. He screamed in pain. + +Sara dropped the iron. She was shocked. She did not mean to hurt Ben. She ran to him and tried to help him. But it was too late. Ben was badly hurt. He did not move or talk. + +Mommy heard the scream. She ran to the basement. She saw Ben on the floor. She saw the iron. She saw Sara crying. She was angry and sad. She called the doctor. She took Ben to the hospital. She did not talk to Sara. + +Sara was sorry. She wished she listened to Ben. She wished she did not touch the iron. She wished she could say sorry to Ben. But she could not. Ben was gone. Sara was alone. She learned a hard lesson. She never played with the iron again. +Lily loved to look at magazines. She liked the pictures of animals, flowers and toys. She had many magazines in her room. Sometimes she cut out the pictures and made collages. + +One day, she found a new magazine on the table. It was big and shiny. She opened it and saw a scary picture. It was a picture of a monster with big teeth and claws. Lily was very scared. She screamed and dropped the magazine. + +Mommy and Daddy came running. They saw Lily crying and the magazine on the floor. They picked up Lily and hugged her. They looked at the magazine and saw the monster. They said, "Oh, Lily, this is not a magazine for you. This is a magazine for grown-ups who like scary stories. We are sorry you saw it. It is not real. It is just a picture." + +They took the magazine away and gave Lily another one. It was a magazine with adorable animals. Lily saw a picture of a fluffy bunny. She smiled and said, "Bunny!" She forgot about the monster and cuddled with Mommy and Daddy. + +Moral: Some things are not for children. They can scare them and make them sad. Parents should be careful about what they leave around. Children should ask before they touch something they don't know. They can find something they like better. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy trains in the living room. They liked to make the trains go fast and make loud noises. They pretended that the trains were going to different places and having adventures. + +One day, they decided to play with the trains in the kitchen. They saw a big pot on the stove with water and bubbles. They thought it looked like a lake for the trains. They took some of the trains and put them in the pot. They were happy to see the trains swim and splash. + +But then, they heard a loud hiss and saw white smoke coming out of the pot. It was steam. The water was very hot and it burned the trains. The trains turned red and black and melted. Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They cried and ran to their mom. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the pot and the ruined trains. She was angry and worried. She turned off the stove and took the pot away. She said to Lily and Ben, "What did you do? You were very naughty. You could have hurt yourself. You should never play with the stove or the pot. They are not toys. They are dangerous. Look what you did to your trains. They are dry and broken. They are terrible. You should be sorry." + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They said to mom, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We wanted to play with the trains in the water. We did not mean to hurt them. We loved them. Can you fix them, mom?" + +Mom shook her head. She said, "No, I cannot fix them. They are too damaged. You have to throw them away. You have to learn from your mistake. You have to be careful and listen to me. You have to respect your toys and your things. You have to say goodbye to your trains." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We will be careful and listen to you. We will respect our toys and our things. We will say goodbye to our trains." They hugged mom and each other. They felt sad, but they also felt sorry and learned a lesson. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were animals and make noises. Tom was a lion and Lily was a bird. They ran and jumped and flew around the sofa and the table. + +"Roar!" Tom said. "I am a big lion and I will catch you, little bird!" + +"Tweet, tweet!" Lily said. "You can't catch me, lion! I am too fast and too high!" + +They had fun, but they did not see the fireplace. It was cold outside, so Mom had lit a fire to keep them warm. The fire was bright and hot and made crackling sounds. + +Tom and Lily got too close to the fireplace. Tom's tail touched the fire and it burned. He felt a sharp pain and he cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! My tail, my tail! It hurts, it hurts!" + +Lily heard Tom's cry and she flew to him. She saw his tail was red and smoky. She felt scared and sad. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I'm sorry!" she said. "Are you okay? Does it hurt a lot?" + +Tom nodded. He was not okay. He was hurt and he was angry. He blamed Lily for his pain. + +"It's your fault, Lily, your fault!" he said. "You made me chase you and you made me get too close to the fire! You are a bad bird, a bad sister!" + +Lily felt hurt too. She did not mean to make Tom get burned. She wanted to play with him and have fun. She did not like when he was angry at her. She was a good bird, a good sister. + +She tried to hug Tom and make him feel better. But Tom pushed her away. He did not want her hug. He wanted to be alone. + +"Go away, Lily, go away!" he said. "I don't want to play with you anymore! You are not my friend!" + +Lily felt tears in her eyes. She ran away from Tom and the fireplace. She hid behind the curtain and cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Tom's burned tail and Lily's tears. She knew what had happened. She felt sorry for both of them. + +She took Tom to the bathroom and put some cream on his tail. She told him it would heal soon and it would not hurt so much. She also told him he should be careful around the fire and he should not blame Lily for his accident. She said Lily was his sister and she loved him and she was sorry for him. + +She took Lily to the sofa and wiped her tears. She told her it was not her fault and she did not do anything wrong. She also told her Tom was her brother and he loved her and he was sorry for his words. She said they should forgive each other and be friends again. + +She brought Tom and Lily together and made them hug. They felt each other's warmth and they felt sorry for each other. They said they were sorry and they loved each other. They smiled and they hugged again. + +Mom smiled too. She was happy they were friends again. She gave them each a cookie and a glass of milk. She told them they could play again, but they should stay away from the fireplace. She said the fireplace was nice and cozy, but it could also be dangerous and hurtful. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They thanked Mom and they ate their cookies and drank their milk. They decided to play a different game. They pretended they were astronauts and they explored the stars. They had fun, but they did not forget the fireplace. They stayed away from it and they stayed close to each other. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play outside. She liked to run, jump, and look at flowers. One day, she saw a cute leaf on the ground. It was red and yellow and had a funny shape. Lily picked up the leaf and held it in her hand. + +She wanted to show the leaf to her mom, who was inside the house. She ran to the door and knocked. But no one answered. Lily felt sad. She hoped her mom would come soon. She knocked again and again, but still no one came. + +Lily decided to wait by the door with her leaf. She looked at the leaf and talked to it. She said, "You are my friend, leaf. You are pretty and nice. I hope you like me too." She smiled at the leaf and hugged it. + +After a while, she heard a sound. It was her mom. She opened the door and saw Lily. She said, "Hi, Lily. What are you doing here?" Lily showed her mom the leaf and said, "Look, mom. I found a cute leaf. It is my friend. Can I keep it?" + +Her mom looked at the leaf and smiled. She said, "Of course, Lily. You can keep the leaf. It is very cute. And you are very cute too. I'm sorry I didn't hear you knock. I was busy in the kitchen. Do you want to come in and have a snack?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I want a snack. And I want to show you more leaves. There are many outside. Can we go and see them later?" Her mom said, "Sure, Lily. We can go and see the leaves later. I'm glad you like them. They are part of nature. And nature is beautiful." + +Lily and her mom went inside the house. Lily put her leaf on the table and ate a cookie. She was happy. She hoped the leaf was happy too. She thought, "Maybe the leaf likes cookies. Maybe I can share some with it. Maybe it will tell me stories about the trees. Maybe we can be friends forever." +Tom liked to read books. He had many books in his room. Some books were new and some books were old. He liked the old books best. They had stories of kings and dragons and magic. + +One night, Tom found a very old book in his closet. It was brown and dusty and had strange letters on the cover. He wanted to read it, but it was too dark in his room. He looked for a light, but he could not find one. He remembered that his mom had a candle in the kitchen. He went to get it. + +He lit the candle and brought it to his room. He put it on his desk and opened the old book. He tried to read the words, but they were hard to understand. He saw pictures of stars and moons and animals. He wondered what they meant. + +He heard a voice in his ear. It was soft and low and sounded like the wind. It said, "Hello, little one. Do you want to learn the secrets of the ancient book?" + +Tom was scared. He looked around, but he saw no one. He thought it was the candle talking to him. He said, "Who are you? What do you want?" + +The voice said, "I am the spirit of the book. I have been waiting for a long time for someone to read me. I can teach you many things, but you have to pay a price. If you want to know the secrets, you have to give me your soul." + +Tom did not know what a soul was, but he felt something cold and dark in his chest. He did not like it. He wanted to close the book and run away, but he could not move. He felt the candle burning his hand, but he could not drop it. He felt the voice inside his head, but he could not scream. He was trapped by the ancient book. +One day, a fisherman went to the lake to catch some fish. He had a big net and a small boat. He was happy because he liked fish very much. + +But when he got to the lake, he saw a naughty boy throwing stones at the water. The boy was making a lot of noise and scaring the fish away. The fisherman was angry and shouted at the boy. + +"Stop that! You are being very naughty! You are hurting the fish and ruining my work!" + +The boy did not listen. He laughed and threw more stones. One of the stones hit the fisherman's net and made a hole in it. The fisherman was very sad and worried. He needed his net to catch fish. + +He went to the boy and said, "Look what you did! You broke my net! How will I catch fish now? How will I feed my family?" + +The boy saw the hole in the net and felt sorry. He realized he had done a bad thing. He said, "I'm sorry, mister. I was just having fun. I didn't mean to break your net." + +The fisherman sighed and said, "Fun is good, but not when it hurts others. You should be more careful and kind. Do you know how to heal my net?" + +The boy nodded and said, "Yes, I do. My grandma taught me how to sew. I can help you fix your net. Will you forgive me?" + +The fisherman smiled and said, "Yes, I will. Thank you for your help. Come, let's go to my boat and heal my net." + +The boy and the fisherman went to the boat and worked together to sew the hole in the net. They became friends and talked about fish and stones and other things. The fisherman taught the boy how to catch fish and the boy taught the fisherman how to skip stones. They had fun and learned from each other. + +The end. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they wanted different things. One day, Lily wanted to play with the new doll that their grandma gave them. Max wanted to play with the toy car that their grandpa gave them. + +"Let me play with the doll, Max!" Lily said. "You have the car!" + +"No, I want to play with both!" Max said. "The doll is pretty and the car is fast!" + +Lily was envious of Max. She thought he was not fair. She tried to grab the doll from him, but he held it tight. They started to pull and tug, and the doll's dress ripped. + +"Look what you did!" Max cried. "You broke the doll!" + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to break the doll. She just wanted to play with it. She saw that Max was sad, and she was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Max," Lily said. "I was envious of you. I should have shared. Can we fix the doll?" + +Max looked at Lily. He saw that she was telling the truth. He was sorry too. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Max said. "I was not fair. I should have shared. Can we play together?" + +Lily nodded. She hugged Max, and he hugged her back. They took the doll and the car to their mom, and asked her to help them fix the doll's dress. Their mom smiled and said yes. + +"Good job, Lily and Max," their mom said. "You learned to relax and be kind. Sharing is caring." + +Lily and Max smiled. They were happy to play together. They thanked their mom, and went to their room with the doll and the car. They played nicely, and had fun. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a bow and a tag that says "For Lily and Ben. A surprise from Grandma and Grandpa." + +"What is in the box?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Ben says. + +They pull the bow and lift the lid. Inside the box, they see a lot of weird things. There are hats and glasses and scarves and gloves and shoes and dresses and pants and shirts and skirts and coats and ties and belts and bags and jewelry and masks and wigs and more. + +"Wow! Look at all these things!" Lily says. + +"Let's try them on and play dress-up!" Ben says. + +They take out the things and put them on. They mix and match different colors and styles. They look funny and silly and cute and cool. They pretend to be different people and animals and characters. They have a lot of fun. + +"Look at us! We are so weird!" Lily says. + +"But we are also so happy!" Ben says. + +They hug each other and laugh. They hear a knock on the door. It is Grandma and Grandpa. They come in and see Lily and Ben in their weird outfits. + +"Hello, Lily and Ben! We are here to see your surprise!" Grandma says. + +"Surprise!" Lily and Ben say. + +Grandma and Grandpa smile and clap. They hug and kiss Lily and Ben. They tell them they love them and they are proud of them. They say they are glad they like their surprise. + +"We love you too, Grandma and Grandpa! Thank you for the surprise!" Lily and Ben say. + +They show them their outfits and tell them their stories. They invite them to join their dress-up game. Grandma and Grandpa agree. They take some things from the box and put them on. They look weird too. They all play together and have a wonderful time. +Tom was a little boy who liked to draw. He had many crayons of different colors, but his favorite was the red one. He used it to draw cars, flowers, apples and hearts. He was very careful with his crayons, because he knew they were sharp and could hurt him or his friends. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom. He brought his crayons and a big paper to draw on. He found a nice spot under a tree and started to draw a big car. He was very happy and proud of his car. + +Then, he saw a stranger walking towards him. The stranger was a big man with a beard and a hat. He smiled at Tom and said, "Hello, little boy. What are you drawing?" + +Tom looked at the stranger and felt scared. He did not know him and he did not like his smile. He held his crayons tightly and said, "I'm drawing a car. Go away!" + +The stranger did not go away. He said, "Oh, a car. That's nice. Can I see your crayons? They look very pretty. Can I have one?" + +Tom shook his head and said, "No, you can't. These are my crayons. They are sharp and you might break them. Go away!" + +The stranger did not listen. He reached out his hand and tried to grab Tom's red crayon. Tom screamed and pushed the stranger's hand away. He scratched the stranger's hand with his sharp crayon. The stranger yelled and let go of the crayon. He ran away, holding his hand. + +Tom's mom heard the scream and ran to Tom. She hugged him and asked him what happened. Tom told her about the stranger and the crayon. She said, "You did well, Tom. You were brave and smart. You should never talk to strangers or give them your things. They might be bad and hurt you. You should always stay close to me or someone you know and trust. And you should always use your crayons for drawing, not for fighting." + +Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was scared and angry. I won't do it again. I love you and I love my crayons." + +She said, "I love you too, Tom. And I love your car. It's very beautiful. Come on, let's go home and have some cookies." + +They packed up their things and left the park. Tom held his mom's hand and his red crayon. He felt safe and happy. He learned a lesson that day: strangers are not always friendly and crayons are not for hurting. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a large hill with many trees. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was there. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Anna said. "Maybe we can find some flowers or animals." + +"OK, Anna!" Ben said. "But be careful. The hill is very high and steep." + +They held hands and started to climb the hill. They saw some birds and squirrels and butterflies. They heard some water and wind and leaves. They felt happy and curious and brave. + +They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a big lake with a lot of mist. The mist was white and soft and wet. It looked like a cloud on the water. + +"Wow, Anna! Look at the mist!" Ben said. "It is so pretty and cool. Can we touch it?" + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe it is too far." Anna said. "But we can pick some flowers and make a crown. Do you want to do that?" + +"Yes, Anna! That sounds fun!" Ben said. "Let's pick some flowers and make a crown. Then we can pretend we are the king and queen of the mist." + +They smiled and nodded and ran to the flowers. They picked some yellow and pink and purple ones. They made a crown for each other and put it on their heads. They felt proud and silly and happy. + +They sat on the grass and looked at the mist. They imagined they were the king and queen of the mist. They made up some stories and songs and jokes. They laughed and sang and talked. + +They had a lot of fun on the hill with the mist. They did not want to leave. But they knew they had to go back to their mom and dad. They said goodbye to the mist and the flowers and the animals. They took their crowns and held hands and climbed down the hill. They ran and jumped and slid in the park. They told their mom and dad about their adventure. They hugged and kissed and thanked them. They went home and had a nice dinner and a good sleep. They dreamed of the mist and the hill and the flowers. They were happy. +Lily was a charming girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna, who had a pink dress and long hair. Lily took Anna everywhere she went, even to the park and the store. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Anna. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She put Anna on a bench and ran to the slide. She had so much fun sliding down and climbing up again. She forgot about Anna. + +When it was time to go home, Lily and her mom walked to the car. Lily did not remember Anna until they were in the car. She cried and said, "Mom, I forgot Anna! She is on the bench! We have to go back!" + +Mom said, "Don't worry, Lily. We will go back and get Anna. She is safe on the bench. No one will take her." + +They drove back to the park and saw Anna on the bench. Lily was so happy to see her. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I forgot you. I love you." + +But Anna did not look the same. She had a wire around her neck and her hair was cut. Someone had played with her and made her look different. Lily was sad and angry. She said, "Who did this to Anna? She is my doll! They are mean!" + +Mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Someone was not nice to Anna. They should not have touched her. But Anna is still your doll. She still loves you. And you can fix her. We can buy her a new dress and a ribbon for her hair." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. Thank you. I will fix Anna. And I will never forget her again." +Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big pear tree. The pears are ripe and juicy. Tim and Mia want to eat some pears. + +They look around. No one is watching. They decide to climb the tree and pick some pears. They are careful not to fall. They fill their pockets with pears. They are happy. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is the old man who lives next door. He is angry. He says, "Hey, you two! What are you doing in my tree? Those are my pears! Get down from there!" + +Tim and Mia are scared. They climb down quickly. They say, "We are sorry, sir. We did not know they were your pears. We were hungry. Please do not be mad at us." + +The old man looks at them. He sees their guilty faces. He sees their pockets full of pears. He sighs. He says, "Well, I suppose you can have some pears. But only some. And you have to promise me not to do this again. And you have to say thank you." + +Tim and Mia nod. They say, "Thank you, sir. We promise not to do this again. We are sorry." They give back some of the pears. They keep some for themselves. They run back to their garden. They eat the pears. They are sweet. But they also feel a little bad. They learn a lesson. They decide not to steal again. +Lily liked to watch the rats in the park. They were small and brown and ran fast. Sometimes they ate bread or cheese that people left. Lily wanted to touch them, but Mom said no. Mom said rats were dirty and could bite. + +One day, Lily saw a big rat under a bench. It had a long tail and shiny eyes. Lily was curious. She walked slowly to the bench and bent down. The rat did not run away. It looked at Lily and made a noise. Lily reached out her hand. + +Mom saw Lily and ran to her. She pulled Lily away from the rat and hugged her. She was scared and angry. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? That rat is dangerous! You could get sick or hurt!" Lily felt uncomfortable. She did not understand why Mom was so upset. She said, "But Mom, I just wanted to say hello to the rat. He was not mean. He was friendly." + +Mom shook her head and said, "Lily, rats are not friendly. They are not pets. They are wild animals. You should never touch them or go near them. They can have germs or teeth or claws. They can make you sick or hurt you. Do you understand?" Lily nodded. She was sorry. She said, "I understand, Mom. I will not touch the rats again. I will only watch them from far away." Mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. I love you. Now let's go home and wash your hands." Lily said, "I love you too, Mom. And I love the rats. But only from far away." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They are eager to go outside and have fun. + +"Let's go, let's go!" Lily says to Ben. "We can make a sand castle and jog on the grass." + +"OK, OK!" Ben says. He puts on his shoes and hat. He follows Lily to the door. + +But when they open the door, they see rain. It is wet and cold. They cannot go to the park. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. She is sad. She wants to play in the sun. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He is sad too. He wants to jog and run. + +They look at each other. They do not know what to do. + +Then Lily has an idea. She smiles and says, "Hey, Ben, we can still play. We can make a tent and jog inside the house." + +"How?" Ben asks. He is curious. + +"Come, I'll show you!" Lily says. She grabs Ben's hand and leads him to the living room. She finds a big sheet and some chairs. She puts the sheet over the chairs and makes a tent. She says, "Look, Ben, this is our tent. We can pretend it is the park." + +"Wow, Lily, this is cool!" Ben says. He likes the tent. He crawls inside with Lily. They see some toys and books. They play with them and tell stories. + +They also jog inside the tent. They go around and around. They laugh and giggle. They have fun. + +They forget about the rain. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom was a rabbit who liked to hop. He hopped all over the field, looking for carrots and lettuce. He had many friends in the network of holes under the ground. They hopped and played together every day. + +One day, Tom saw a big, red carrot near the fence. He wanted to eat it, but he was afraid. He knew there was a fierce dog who lived on the other side of the fence. The dog liked to chase and bark at rabbits. Tom had seen him do it before. + +Tom decided to be brave and hop to the carrot. He looked around and did not see the dog. He hopped faster and faster, until he reached the carrot. He bit into it and felt a crunch. It was the best carrot he ever had. + +But then he heard a loud growl. He looked up and saw the dog. The dog had seen him and was running towards him. Tom was scared. He dropped the carrot and hopped away as fast as he could. He hoped he could make it to the network of holes before the dog caught him. + +He hopped and hopped, but the dog was faster. The dog was almost on him, when he saw a hole. He jumped into it and hoped it was one of his friends' holes. He heard the dog bark and scratch at the hole, but he could not get in. Tom was safe. + +He sighed and looked around. He saw his friend Lily, who was also a rabbit. She smiled and said, "Hi, Tom. I saw you hop to the carrot. That was very brave, but also very silly. The dog is always there. You should be careful." + +Tom nodded and said, "You are right, Lily. I was brave, but also silly. The carrot was good, but not worth the risk. I am glad you are here. Thank you for sharing your hole with me." + +Lily hugged him and said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are my friend. Friends help each other. Come on, let's hop to the other holes and see our friends. Maybe they have some carrots to share." + +Tom smiled and said, "That sounds good, Lily. Let's hop." And they hopped away, happy and safe. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to joke and play. One day, they go to the park with Mom. Mom says, "Stay near me and be good." + +Sara and Tom see a big slide. They want to go on it. They run to the slide and wait in line. Sara sees a seat at the top of the slide. She has an idea. She says to Tom, "Let's joke with the other kids. I will sit on the seat and not slide down. You will push me when they get mad." + +Tom thinks this is funny. He says, "OK, let's do it." Sara climbs up the slide and sits on the seat. She smiles and says, "This is my seat. I will not move." + +The other kids are angry. They say, "That is not fair. You have to slide down. It is our turn." Sara says, "No, I like this seat. It is mine." + +Tom waits for a while. He sees Mom looking at them. He thinks Mom will be mad too. He says to Sara, "This is not a good joke. You are being naughty. You have to share the seat. Come on, slide down with me." + +Sara sees Mom too. She feels bad. She says, "You are right, Tom. I am sorry. I will slide down with you." She holds Tom's hand and they slide down together. The other kids are happy. They say, "Thank you, Sara and Tom. Now we can slide too." + +Mom comes to them. She says, "I saw what you did, Sara and Tom. That was not nice. You have to be kind and polite to the other kids. Do you understand?" Sara and Tom nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We are sorry. We will not joke like that again." Mom hugs them. She says, "I love you, Sara and Tom. But next time, think before you joke." Sara and Tom say, "We love you too, Mom. We will think before we joke." They smile and go to play with the other kids. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then, Lily saw a big box in the corner. She wanted to know what was inside. + +"Ben, come with me. Let's peek in the box," she said. + +"No, Lily. Mommy said we can't touch the box. It's a surprise for later," Ben said. + +But Lily did not listen. She was very bossy. She grabbed Ben's hand and pulled him to the box. She lifted the lid and looked inside. + +"Wow, look! It's a new train set! Let's play with it!" she said. + +She took out the train and the tracks and started to set them up on the floor. Ben felt scared. He knew they were doing something wrong. + +"Lily, stop. We should put it back. Mommy will be mad," he said. + +But Lily did not stop. She was too excited. She wanted to be the first to play with the train. She made a long line of tracks and put the train on it. She pushed a button and the train started to move. + +"Choo choo! Look how fast it goes!" she said. + +But then, something bad happened. The train went too fast and hit the wall. It broke into pieces. Lily and Ben heard a loud crash. They also heard Mommy's footsteps. + +"Oh no, we're in trouble!" Ben said. + +They tried to hide behind the couch, but it was too late. Mommy saw the mess and the broken train. She was very angry. + +"Lily, Ben, what did you do? You peeked in the box and played with the surprise. You broke it. How could you?" she said. + +Lily and Ben felt very sorry. They knew they had been naughty. They looked at Mommy with sad eyes. + +"We're sorry, Mommy. We were curious. We wanted to see what was in the box. We didn't mean to break it," they said. + +Mommy sighed. She was disappointed, but she also loved them. She sat down with them and hugged them. + +"I know you were curious, but you should have waited. The train was a gift for your cousin Jake. He's coming to visit us tomorrow. He loves trains. Now he won't have a new train to play with. How do you think he will feel?" she said. + +Lily and Ben thought about Jake. They liked him. He was always nice to them. They felt very bad. + +"He will feel sad. He will feel mad. He will feel hurt," they said. + +Mommy nodded. She wanted them to learn a lesson. + +"That's right. And how do you feel?" she said. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt the same way. + +"We feel sad. We feel mad. We feel hurt. We feel sorry," they said. + +Mommy smiled. She was glad they understood. + +"That's good. You feel sorry. That means you care. That means you want to make things right. Do you know what you can do?" she said. + +Lily and Ben shook their heads. They did not know. + +Mommy told them. She said they could help her clean up the mess. They could say sorry to Jake. They could share their toys with him. They could be kind and gentle. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They agreed. They wanted to do that. + +"OK, Mommy. We will do that. We will be good. We will be nice. We will be happy," they said. + +Mommy kissed them. She was proud of them. + +"That's my good kids. I love you. Now let's clean up and get ready for Jake. Maybe he will have a surprise for you too," she said. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They hoped so. They learned their lesson. They learned not to peek. They learned not to be bossy. They learned to be patient and respectful. They learned to be good friends. +Tom and Lily were playing with their wagon in the park. They liked to fill it with leaves and rocks and pull it around. But then they saw another wagon near the swings. It was bigger and had shiny wheels. + +"Let's go see that wagon!" Tom said. + +"No, that's not ours. It belongs to someone else," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the other wagon and tried to take it. He did not see the boy who was sitting on the swing. The boy saw Tom and got angry. + +"Hey, that's my wagon! Give it back!" the boy shouted. + +He jumped off the swing and ran to Tom. He pushed Tom and grabbed the wagon. Tom pushed back and tried to hold on to the wagon. They started to fight. + +Lily did not like to fight. She was scared. She ran to the bench where their mom was sitting. She told her what was happening. + +"Mom, Tom and the boy are fighting over the wagon!" she said. + +Mom looked up and saw the fight. She got up and walked to them. She spoke in a loud voice. + +"Stop fighting, both of you! Fighting is not nice. You have to share and be kind," she said. + +She made Tom and the boy let go of the wagon. She asked them to say sorry to each other. Tom and the boy felt bad. They said sorry and shook hands. + +Mom told Tom and Lily to go back to their wagon. She told the boy to play with his wagon.

They decided not to fight anymore. They played happily until it was time to go home. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the farm with their moms. They see many animals at the farm. They see cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. + +"Look, Sam, a big horse!" Tom says. He points to a brown horse with a black mane. "He is so strong. He can pull a cart." + +"Yes, he is strong," Sam says. He likes the horse too. He wants to touch the horse. "Can we pet him, mom?" + +"Sure, you can pet him, but be careful," Sam's mom says. She holds Sam's hand and walks to the horse. The horse is friendly. He lets Sam and Tom pet his nose and ears. + +"Can we ride him, mom?" Tom asks. He wants to sit on the horse's back. + +"I don't think so, Tom," Tom's mom says. "He is too big for you. Maybe when you are older, you can ride him." + +Tom is sad. He really wants to ride the horse. He looks around the farm. He sees a small pony in a pen. The pony is white with black spots. He is not as big as the horse. + +"Mom, can we ride the pony?" Tom asks. He points to the pony. + +"That's a good idea, Tom," Tom's mom says. She smiles. "Let's ask the farmer if we can ride the pony." + +Tom and Sam are happy. They run to the farmer and ask him if they can ride the pony. The farmer is nice. He says yes. He puts a saddle and a bridle on the pony. He helps Tom and Sam get on the pony. He holds the pony's reins and walks with them around the farm. + +Tom and Sam have fun. They feel like they are riding a strong horse. They thank the farmer and the pony. They hug their moms.

She had a big teddy bear, a red car, a yellow ball and a pink doll. She also had a blue mug that she used to drink milk or juice. She loved her mug very much and always kept it on her table. + +One day, Lily was playing with her teddy bear in her room. She heard a noise from the kitchen. She left her teddy bear on the bed and went to see what it was. She saw her brother Tom in the kitchen. He was holding her blue mug and drinking from it. He had a naughty smile on his face. + +Lily was very angry. She ran to Tom and shouted, "That's my mug! Give it back to me!" Tom laughed and said, "No, it's mine now. It's a nice mug. I like it." He ran away from Lily and went to the living room. Lily followed him and tried to grab her mug. + +Tom and Lily ran around the house, fighting over the mug. They knocked over chairs, tables, lamps and books. They made a big mess. They did not see their mom coming home from the shop. She opened the door and saw the chaos. She was very surprised and upset. + +She shouted, "Tom! Lily! What are you doing? Why are you making such a noise and a mess? And why are you fighting over a mug?" Tom and Lily stopped running and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed. They did not have a good answer. They seemed very sorry. They gave the mug back to Lily and said, "We're sorry, mom. We were naughty. We won't do it again." Mom sighed and said, "You better not. Now, help me clean up this mess. And then, you can have some cookies and milk. But only if you share nicely." Tom and Lily nodded and hugged their mom. They learned their lesson. They decided to be good and to respect each other's things. They also decided to love their blue mug. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play at the shore. The shore is where the water and the sand meet. Sometimes they find shells and rocks. Sometimes they see fish and crabs. + +One day, Tom and Lily see a new thing at the shore. It is big and round and green. It has a long tail and a hard shell. Tom and Lily are curious. They go closer to look. + +"Hello, what are you?" Tom asks the new thing. + +"I am a turtle," the new thing says. "I live in the water, but I come to the shore to lay eggs." + +"Wow, you are a turtle!" Lily says. "You are very pretty. Can you teach us something?" + +"Sure, I can teach you something," the turtle says. "I can teach you how to swim fast and dive deep. Do you want to learn?" + +"Yes, we want to learn!" Tom and Lily say. They are excited. They follow the turtle to the water. The turtle teaches them how to swim fast and dive deep. Tom and Lily have fun. They learn something new from the turtle. They thank the turtle and say goodbye. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They have a new friend at the shore. They hope to see the turtle again. They go home and tell their parents about their adventure. +Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to do something fun. They looked around the house for something to play with. They saw a big tub of yogurt in the fridge. They had an idea. + +"Let's decorate the yogurt!" Lily said. + +"How?" Ben asked. + +"We can use these!" Lily said. She showed Ben some sprinkles, chocolate chips, and fruit. They took the yogurt and the toppings to the table. They opened the tub and scooped some yogurt into two bowls. + +"Yummy!" Ben said. He licked his spoon. + +"Wait, Ben! We have to decorate first!" Lily said. She sprinkled some pink and blue sprinkles on her yogurt. She added some chocolate chips and a banana slice. She made a smiley face with her toppings. + +"Wow, Lily! That looks good!" Ben said. He copied Lily and decorated his yogurt with green and yellow sprinkles, chocolate chips, and a strawberry slice. He made a silly face with his toppings. + +They were very proud of their yogurt decorations. They showed them to their mom, who was in the living room. + +"Look, mom! We decorated the yogurt!" Lily and Ben said. + +"That's very creative, my loves!" Mom said. She smiled and took a picture of their yogurt bowls. "Do you want to eat them now?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. They grabbed their spoons and dug into their yogurt. They enjoyed their sweet and creamy treat. + +They ate until their bowls were empty. They licked their spoons and their lips. They were very happy. + +"That was fun!" Lily said. + +"And delicious!" Ben said. + +They hugged each other and thanked their mom for the yogurt. They cleaned up their mess and put the tub back in the fridge. + +They decided to decorate the yogurt again tomorrow. But this time, they would use different toppings. They wondered what they could find in the kitchen. They had many ideas. They couldn't wait. +Ben likes to read books with his mom. He has many books, but his favorite is the big book of animals. The book is heavy, so mom helps him carry it to the couch. They sit together and open the book. + +Mom turns the pages and shows Ben the pictures of different animals. She tells him their names and what they do. Ben likes to point at the animals and make their sounds. He sees a lion, a monkey, a snake, and a bird. He roars, chatters, hisses, and tweets. + +On the last page, there is a surprise. The page is big and has many flaps. Mom lifts the flaps and Ben sees more animals. There is a bear, a frog, a fish, and a turtle. The page includes all the animals that live in the forest, the pond, the sea, and the land. Ben is happy and claps his hands. He likes the big book of animals. He gives mom a hug and says thank you. Mom smiles and says you're welcome. They close the book and put it away. They cuddle on the couch and say good night. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they are wild. One day, they are playing in the bathroom. They splash water everywhere. They throw soap and towels. They make a big mess. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the bathroom. She sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? You are wild! You do not behave! You make a big mess! You have to clean up now!" + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were having fun. We did not mean to make a mess. We will clean up." Mom says, "You have to behave in the bathroom. The bathroom is not for playing. The bathroom is for washing and brushing. You have to be careful and gentle. Do you understand?" Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will behave in the bathroom." + +Mom helps them clean up. She gives them a hug. She says, "I love you, Lily and Ben. But you have to be good. You have to listen to me. You have to follow the rules. OK?" Lily and Ben say, "OK, Mom. We love you too. We will be good. We will listen to you. We will follow the rules." Mom smiles. She says, "Good. Now, let's go to the kitchen. It's time for a snack." Lily and Ben are happy. They follow Mom to the kitchen. They are not wild anymore. They behave. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play with hoops in the park. They roll the hoops on the grass and try to catch them. Sometimes they jump inside the hoops or make funny shapes with them. + +One day, it is very hot. The sun is bright and the air is warm. Sam and Mia are thirsty and tired. They want to drink some water and rest in the shade. + +"Let's stop playing with the hoops," Sam says. "I am too hot and my mouth is dry." + +"Me too," Mia says. "Where can we find some water?" + +They look around and see a fountain. The fountain has water that sprays up and down. The water looks cool and fresh. + +"Look, a fountain!" Sam says. "Let's go there and drink some water." + +"OK," Mia says. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to get wet or lose our hoops." + +They run to the fountain, holding their hoops. They drink some water from the fountain and feel better. They also splash some water on their faces and arms. They laugh and giggle. + +The fountain is fun. They want to play more. They throw their hoops in the air and try to catch them. They also try to make the hoops go through the water. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, a man comes. The man is angry. He wears a hat and a badge. He is a park ranger. + +"Stop!" the man says. "You can't play with the hoops in the fountain. You are making a mess and wasting water. And you might break the fountain or hurt someone. Give me your hoops right now." + +Sam and Mia are scared. They don't want to give their hoops to the man. They like their hoops. They are their favorite toys. + +"Please, no," Sam says. "We are sorry. We didn't know. We were just having fun. We won't do it again." + +"Please, no," Mia says. "We are sorry. We didn't mean to make a mess or waste water. We were just hot and thirsty. We won't do it again." + +The man looks at them. He sees that they are sorry. He also sees that they are hot and thirsty. He feels a little sorry for them. + +"OK," the man says. "I will let you keep your hoops. But you have to promise me that you will never play with them in the fountain again. And you have to clean up the mess you made. And you have to go to the shade and rest. It is too hot to play in the sun." + +Sam and Mia nod. They promise the man. They thank him. They pick up their hoops and clean up the mess. They go to the shade and rest. They are still friends. They still like their hoops. But they don't play with them in the fountain anymore. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. They also like to talk to their grandma on the phone. Grandma lives far away, but she calls them every week. + +One day, Lily and Ben are waiting for grandma's call. They sit on the couch with their phone. They look at the clock. It is late. Grandma usually calls at four o'clock. Now it is five o'clock. Where is grandma? + +Lily picks up the phone and dials grandma's number. She hears a beep. Then she hears a voice. It is not grandma. It is a man. He says, "Sorry, there is a delay. The phone line is weak. Please try again later." + +Lily is sad. She tells Ben what the man said. Ben is sad too. They miss grandma. They want to hear her voice. They want to tell her about their day. + +They put the phone down and hug each other. They hope the phone line will be strong soon. They hope grandma will call them soon. They love grandma very much. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play with their bikes in the park. Lily has a pink bike with a basket. Sam has a blue bike with a bell. + +One day, they see a big hill in the park. Sam says, "Let's go up the hill and down the hill. It will be fun!" Lily says, "I don't know. The hill is very high. I am frightened." Sam says, "Don't be frightened. I will go first and show you. You just have to pedal fast and hold on tight." + +Sam pedals fast and goes up the hill. He reaches the top and shouts, "Whee! This is great!" He pedals faster and goes down the hill. He rings his bell and smiles. Lily watches him and thinks, "Maybe I can do it too. It looks fun." + +Lily pedals fast and follows Sam. She goes up the hill and feels the wind in her hair. She says, "Wow! This is cool!" She goes down the hill and feels the speed in her legs. She says, "Yay! This is awesome!" She catches up with Sam and they both laugh. + +They do it again and again. They have a lot of fun. They are not frightened anymore. They are brave and happy. They love their bikes and their hill. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. + +But then a big dog came and took their ball. The dog ran away with the ball in its mouth. Anna and Ben were sad and scared. They did not know what to do. They hoped the dog would give their ball back. + +They saw a police man walking near the park. He had a blue hat and a badge. He looked nice and strong. Anna and Ben ran to him and told him what happened. They pointed to the dog that had their ball. + +The police man smiled and said he would help them. He walked to the dog and talked to it. He said "Drop the ball, good boy. It is not yours. It belongs to these children." The dog listened and dropped the ball. The police man picked it up and gave it to Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben were happy and thanked the police man. They hugged their ball and each other. They felt comfortable and safe. They said goodbye to the police man and went back to playing in the park. They hoped the dog would not come back. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, animals and more with their blocks. + +One day, Tom wants to make a big tower with his blocks. He uses all his blocks, but his tower is not big enough. He sees that Anna has some blocks that he needs. He thinks, "I will borrow some of Anna's blocks. She will not mind. I will give them back later." + +He takes some of Anna's blocks without asking her. He adds them to his tower. His tower is bigger now, but it is not stable. It wobbles and falls down. The blocks scatter everywhere. + +Anna sees what happened. She is angry and sad. She says, "Tom, why did you take my blocks? You did not ask me. You did not share. You broke my blocks. That is not nice. That is not fair." + +Tom feels sorry and ashamed. He says, "I am sorry, Anna. I wanted to make a big tower. I thought you would not mind. I was wrong. I should have asked you. I should have shared. I should have been careful. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna is still upset, but she is also kind. She says, "I forgive you, Tom. But you have to learn. Borrowing is not taking. Borrowing is asking and giving back. Sharing is not difficult. Sharing is fun and friendly. Being careful is not hard. Being careful is smart and safe. Can you remember that?" + +Tom nods and says, "I will remember that, Anna. Thank you for forgiving me. Can we be friends again?" + +Anna smiles and says, "Yes, we can be friends again. Let's play with our blocks together. We can make a big tower, but we have to share and be careful." + +They hug and pick up their blocks. They play with their blocks together. They make a big tower, but they share and be careful. They are happy and proud. They learn a lesson. Borrowing, sharing and being careful are good. Taking, breaking and being careless are bad. +Lily and Sam liked to jog with their dad in the park. They saw many things: trees, birds, flowers, and a big pond. One day, they saw a raft on the pond. It was made of wood and had a rope. + +"Can we go on the raft, dad?" Lily asked. + +"Sorry, no. It is not safe. We don't know who owns it or how strong it is. We might fall in the water," dad said. + +But Sam was stubborn. He wanted to go on the raft. He waited until dad and Lily were not looking. Then he ran to the pond and jumped on the raft. He pulled the rope and moved the raft. + +"Look at me, Lily! I'm on the raft!" Sam shouted. + +Lily saw Sam and was scared. She called dad. "Dad, dad! Sam is on the raft! He might fall in the water!" + +Dad heard Lily and saw Sam. He was angry and worried. He ran to the pond and shouted at Sam. "Sam, get off the raft right now! You are being very naughty and dangerous!" + +But Sam did not listen. He was having fun. He pulled the rope harder and made the raft go faster. He did not see the big rock in the pond. The raft hit the rock and broke. Sam fell in the water. + +Sam was wet and cold. He cried for help. Dad jumped in the water and swam to Sam. He grabbed Sam and brought him to the shore. He wrapped Sam in a towel and hugged him. + +"Sam, you are very lucky. You could have been hurt or drowned. Why did you go on the raft?" dad asked. + +Sam was sorry. He knew he was wrong. He said to dad, "I'm sorry, dad. I was stubborn. I wanted to go on the raft. I did not listen to you. I will not do it again." + +Dad was glad that Sam was safe. He said to Sam, "I'm glad you are sorry, Sam. I love you, but you have to listen to me. I only want to keep you safe. Do you understand?" + +Sam nodded. He said to dad, "I understand, dad. I love you too. Thank you for saving me." + +Dad smiled. He said to Sam, "You're welcome, Sam. Now let's go home and get dry. And no more rafts, okay?" + +Sam agreed. He said to dad, "Okay, dad. No more rafts." + +Lily joined them. She said to Sam, "I'm happy you are okay, Sam. But don't be stubborn again, okay?" + +Sam said to Lily, "Okay, Lily. I'm sorry I scared you." + +They all hugged and went home. They learned a lesson. They never went on a raft again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to balance on the seesaw. Lily was on one end and Tom was on the other. They went up and down, up and down. + +"Look at me, Lily!" Tom said. "I can balance with one hand!" + +He lifted his hand and waved at Lily. But then he lost his balance and fell off the seesaw. He landed on the grass with a thud. + +"Ow!" he cried. "That hurt!" + +Lily jumped off the seesaw and ran to Tom. She saw that he had a scratch on his forehead and some blood on his nose. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" she asked. "Do you need a band-aid?" + +Tom touched his nose and looked at the blood. He felt scared and sad. + +"I don't like blood," he said. "It makes me feel dead." + +Lily hugged Tom and tried to make him feel better. + +"You're not dead, Tom," she said. "You're just hurt. Come on, let's go to the nurse. She will clean your nose and give you a band-aid. And maybe a sticker too." + +Tom nodded and let Lily help him up. They walked to the nurse's office, holding hands. + +On the way, they passed by a barber shop. They saw a man getting a haircut. He had long hair and a beard, but the barber was cutting them off with scissors and a razor. + +"Wow, look at that man!" Lily said. "He's getting a haircut. He looks different." + +Tom looked at the man and smiled a little. + +"He does look different," he said. "Maybe I should get a haircut too. Then I would look different. And maybe I would feel better." + +Lily smiled back at Tom. + +"Maybe you should, Tom," she said. "But only if you want to. I like you the way you are. With or without a haircut." + +They reached the nurse's office and went inside. The nurse was kind and gentle. She cleaned Tom's nose and gave him a band-aid and a sticker. She also gave him a lollipop and a hug. + +Tom felt much better. He thanked the nurse and Lily. + +"Thank you, nurse," he said. "Thank you, Lily. You're my best friend." + +Lily hugged Tom and gave him a kiss on the cheek. + +"You're welcome, Tom," she said. "You're my best friend too." +Lily was anxious. She had lost her tooth and put it under her pillow. She wanted the tooth fairy to come and give her a coin. But when she woke up, the tooth was still there. She felt sad and confused. + +She ran to her mom and showed her the tooth. "Mom, why didn't the tooth fairy come?" she asked. + +Mom looked at the tooth and smiled. "Maybe she was busy last night. Don't worry, she will come tonight. But you have to do something for her." + +"What do I have to do?" Lily asked. + +Mom took a small box and opened it. Inside was a shiny necklace with a tooth-shaped pendant. "This is a special necklace that the tooth fairy gave me when I was a little girl. She told me to pass it on to you when you lose your first tooth. It has magic powers. It can restore your tooth to your mouth if you wear it and say a magic word." + +Lily's eyes widened. She loved the necklace. She put it on and felt a tingling in her mouth. She touched her gum and felt a new tooth growing. She was amazed and happy. + +"Wow, mom, it works! What is the magic word?" she asked. + +Mom whispered the word in her ear. "You have to say it only when you want to restore your tooth. And you have to take off the necklace and put it under your pillow with your old tooth. Then the tooth fairy will come and take them and give you a coin. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She thanked her mom and hugged her. She was excited to try the magic word and see the tooth fairy. She ran to her room and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled and said the word. Her old tooth popped out of her mouth and landed on her hand. She giggled and put it back in. She repeated the process a few times, having fun with the magic necklace. + +She decided to keep the necklace on until bedtime. She wanted to surprise the tooth fairy with her new tooth. She hoped the tooth fairy would like it and give her a big coin. She was not anxious anymore. She was happy and curious. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their bikes. One day, they see a big truck on the street. The truck has a cooler on the back. The cooler is modern. It has buttons and lights. + +Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see what is in the cooler. They go near the truck and climb on the back. They open the cooler. They see ice and drinks and food. They think it is a snack. They take some drinks and food and close the cooler. + +But the truck driver does not know. He is busy talking on his phone. He finishes his call and gets in the truck. He starts the engine and drives away. Lily and Ben are scared. They are on the back of the truck. They do not know where the truck is going. They want to go home. + +They see a button on the cooler. It says "save". They do not know what it means. But they think it might help them. They press the button. The cooler makes a loud noise. It says "save mode activated". The cooler opens and shoots out ice and drinks and food. The ice and drinks and food hit the truck driver's window. The truck driver is surprised. He stops the truck and gets out. He sees Lily and Ben on the back of the truck. He is angry. + +But then he sees the cooler. He sees the button. He sees the ice and drinks and food. He understands. He says "sorry". He says "I did not see you". He says "you are lucky". He says "this cooler is modern". He says "it has a save mode". He says "it is for emergencies". He says "it is not a snack". He says "it is for people who need help". + +He helps Lily and Ben get off the truck. He gives them some drinks and food. He says "you can keep them". He says "you are brave". He says "you are smart". He says "you used the save mode". He says "you saved yourselves". He says "I will take you home". He says "do not tell your mom and dad". He says "it is our secret". He says "do not play with coolers again". He says "they are not toys". He says "they are modern". He smiles. Lily and Ben smile. They go home. They are happy. They are safe. +Lily liked to draw in her notebook. She drew flowers and stars and animals. She used many colors and made her pictures pretty. She was very thoughtful and always shared her notebook with her friends. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and her sack. She put her notebook and her crayons in her sack. She wanted to draw some trees and birds at the park. She was very happy and excited. + +But when she got to the park, she saw a big dog. The dog was running and barking. It saw Lily's sack and thought it was a toy. It ran to Lily and grabbed her sack with its teeth. It shook the sack and tore it apart. Lily's notebook and crayons fell out of the sack and got dirty and broken. + +Lily was very sad and scared. She cried and hugged her mom. The dog's owner came and said sorry. He took the dog away and gave Lily a new sack. He was very kind and thoughtful. + +Lily looked at her new sack and smiled. She thanked the man and said it was okay. She still had some crayons and some pages in her notebook. She could still draw and share with her friends. She was very brave and thoughtful. +Tom likes fruit. He likes apples, bananas, oranges and grapes. He likes to eat fruit every day. But today, he cannot find any fruit in the kitchen. He is hungry and sad. + +He goes to his mom and asks, "Mom, where is the fruit? I want some fruit, please." + +Mom smiles and says, "I have a surprise for you, Tom. Come with me to the backyard." + +Tom follows his mom to the backyard. He sees a big basket on the table. The basket is full of fruit. There are apples, bananas, oranges and grapes. There are also some new fruits that Tom has never seen before. They are pink, yellow, green and purple. They look cool and yummy. + +Mom says, "These are tropical fruits, Tom. They come from far away places where it is very hot. I bought them at the market today. Do you want to try some?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, please. They look cool and yummy. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom gives Tom a pink fruit. She says, "This is a dragon fruit. It has a spiky skin, but a soft and sweet inside. You have to peel it first, like this." + +She peels the dragon fruit and cuts a piece for Tom. Tom takes a bite and says, "Wow, this is good. It is sweet and juicy. I like it." + +Mom says, "I'm glad you like it, Tom. Do you want to try the other fruits?" + +Tom says, "Yes, please. I want to try them all. Thank you, Mom. You are the best." + +Mom and Tom sit on the table and enjoy the fruit. They talk and laugh and have fun. Tom thinks this is the best surprise ever. He loves fruit. He loves his mom. He is happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. Tom wanted to play with the doll, but Lily refused. + +"No, Tom, this is my doll. You have your truck. Go away!" Lily said. + +"But I want to play with the doll. It is pretty and soft. Your truck is ugly and hard. Give me the doll!" Tom said. + +He tried to grab the doll from Lily, but she held it tight. They started to pull and tug, making a lot of noise. + +"Stop it, you two! What are you doing?" Mom came in and saw them fighting. She was angry. + +"Tom, you cannot take Lily's doll. That is not nice. And Lily, you cannot be mean to Tom. You have to share. Why don't you play together nicely?" Mom said. + +She had an idea. She took the truck and the doll and put them on the table. + +"Look, I have a game for you. You can take turns playing with the truck and the doll. First, Tom can play with the doll for five minutes, and Lily can play with the truck. Then, you can switch. How does that sound?" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not like the idea. They both wanted the doll. They thought the truck was weak and boring. + +"No, Mom, we don't want to play that game. We don't like the truck. We only like the doll. Can we have another toy?" Tom and Lily said. + +Mom sighed. She knew they were being stubborn. She decided to teach them a lesson. + +"Fine, if you don't want to play that game, then you can't play with any toy. I will take the truck and the doll away. You can sit here and think about how to be nice to each other. Maybe then you will learn to share." Mom said. + +She took the truck and the doll and left the room. Tom and Lily were sad and sorry. They realized they had been silly and selfish. They wished they had listened to Mom. They missed their toys. They looked at each other and said: + +"Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Lily. Can we be friends again?" + +"Yes, Tom. Yes, Lily. Can we play together nicely?" + +They hugged and smiled. They hoped Mom would come back soon and give them their toys. They promised to share and have fun. They learned their lesson. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the pool. They splash and swim and laugh. They have fun. + +But soon, they feel cold. They want to get out of the water. They look for their towels. They left them on the chairs. But the towels are gone! + +"Where are our towels?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone took them," Ben says. + +They are sad and shiver. They need their towels. + +Then, they see their mom. She has their towels. She smiles and waves. + +"Mom, you have our towels!" Sara says. + +"Yes, I do. I saw them on the chairs. I thought you might forget them. So I brought them to you. I am reliable," Mom says. + +She wraps Sara and Ben in their towels.

She is happy. + +They are a happy family. +Lily liked to read books. She had many books in her bookcase. She liked to look at the pictures and learn new words. Sometimes, she read books to her teddy bear. + +One day, Lily wanted to read a new book. She saw a big book on the top shelf of her bookcase. She wanted to see what it was. She climbed on a chair and reached for the book. But the chair was wobbly and the book was heavy. + +The chair tipped over and Lily fell down. The bookcase shook and some books fell on Lily. She was hurt and scared. She cried for help. But no one heard her. Her mom and dad were in the kitchen. They were busy making dinner.

They did not know she was in trouble. + +Lily was alone and fearful. She wished someone would come and help her. She wished she did not climb on the chair. She wished she did not reach for the book. She wished she read a book she already had. She wished she was safe and happy. But it was too late. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the village. They liked to pick flowers, stones and bugs and show them to each other. One day, they saw a big, shiny thing in the grass. It looked like a ball, but it had a hole and a string. + +"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, let's pick it up and see," Tom said. + +He pulled the string and the ball made a loud noise. Smoke and fire came out of the hole and hurt Lily and Tom. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. The ball was not a toy, it was a bomb. Someone had left it in the village to hurt people. Lily and Tom did not know that. They thought it was harmless, but it was not. It was very bad. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and draw with crayons. One day, they go to Mia's house after school. Mia's mom gives them a snack and a note. The note says: "Have fun, but do not make a mess. I will be back soon." + +Tom and Mia eat their snack and go to Mia's room. They see many toys and books and crayons. They want to play with everything. They take out the toys and books and crayons and put them on the floor. They make a big mess. They do not care. + +Mia's mom comes back. She sees the mess. She is very angry. She says: "What did you do? This is not fun. This is bad. You have to clean up now." + +Tom and Mia do not want to clean up. They say: "No, we do not want to. We want to play more." + +Mia's mom says: "No, you cannot play more. You have to clean up or you cannot be friends anymore." + +Tom and Mia are sad. They do not want to lose their friend. But they are also mad. They do not want to clean up. They start to fight.

You are not friends. You are mean. You have to go home now." + +Tom and Mia stop. They are very sorry. They say: "We are sorry. We are friends. We will clean up. Please do not send us home." + +But Mia's mom says: "No, it is too late. You have to go home. You have to learn to be good. Maybe you can be friends again later. But not today." + +Tom and Mia go home. They are very sad. They cry. They wish they did not make a mess. They wish they did not kick. They wish they did not tear the note. They wish they were still friends. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They saw a hut that was old and broken. They wanted to go inside and see what was there. + +"Let's go, Tim. Maybe we can find something fun," Sam said. + +"No, Sam. It looks dangerous. Maybe there are animals or traps or bad people inside," Tim said. + +Sam did not listen to Tim. He ran to the hut and opened the door. He saw a big bear that was sleeping on a pile of bones. The bear woke up and saw Sam. It was angry and hungry. + +"Help, Tim! Help!" Sam screamed. + +Tim heard Sam and ran to the hut. He saw the bear and was very scared.

He ran away and cried. + +The bear ate Sam and went back to sleep. Tim never saw Sam again. He was sad and alone. He wished he had listened to Tim and stayed away from the hut. The hut was dangerous. The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the big book with many words. They called it a dictionary. They tried to guess what the words meant. + +"Look, Tom, this word is 'crocodile'. What do you think it is?" Lily asked. + +Tom looked at the picture of the green animal with sharp teeth. He guessed, "Is it a toy?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, Tom, it is not a toy. It is a dangerous animal. It can bite you very hard. You should not go near it." + +Tom was scared. He did not like dangerous animals. He wanted to find a nice word. He turned the page and saw a word he liked. He guessed, "Is this a 'flower'?" + +Lily smiled. She liked flowers. They were pretty and smelled good. She guessed, "Yes, Tom, it is a flower. It is a nice word. Do you want to pick some flowers with me?" + +Tom nodded. He was happy. He liked nice words. He and Lily put down the dictionary and ran to the flower bed. They picked some flowers and made a bouquet. They gave it to their mom. She was proud of them. She said, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. You are very smart. You can guess many words from the dictionary. But remember, some words are dangerous. You should always be careful and ask me if you are not sure." +Tom and Amy are twins. They sleep in the same room. One night, Tom wakes up and sees a light in the window. He is scared. He thinks it is a monster. + +"Tom, what is wrong?" Amy asks. She wakes up too and sees the light. + +"I see a light. It is a monster. It will get us!" Tom says. He hugs his teddy bear. + +Amy looks at the light. She is not scared. She knows what it is. + +"Tom, it is not a monster. It is the moon. The moon is big and bright tonight. It is not scary. It is pretty. Look, it makes shadows on the wall. Do you see?" Amy says. She points at the wall. + +Tom looks at the wall. He sees the shadows. They look like animals. He sees a rabbit, a cat, and a bird. + +"You are right, Amy. It is the moon. It is not a monster. It is pretty. I like the shadows. They are funny. Can we make more?" Tom says. He smiles. + +"Sure, Tom. Let's make more. We can use our hands. Look, I can make a dog. Woof, woof!" Amy says. She makes a dog shadow with her hand. + +"I can make a duck. Quack, quack!" Tom says. He makes a duck shadow with his hand. + +They make more shadows and laugh. They are not scared. They are happy. They forget their worry. They fall asleep with the moon light on their faces. +Lily loved to paint. She had many colors of paint and a big paper to make pictures on. She liked to paint animals and flowers and stars. She was very happy when she painted. + +One day, she wanted to paint a lion. She thought lions were fierce and strong and beautiful. She took her yellow paint and her brown paint and started to make the lion's face and mane. She was very careful and proud of her work. + +But then, her brother Max came into the room. He saw Lily's paint and paper and wanted to play with them. He did not ask Lily. He just took her paint and paper and made a big mess. He splashed paint everywhere and tore the paper. He laughed and said it was fun. + +Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and said, "That is my paint and my paper! You can't take them! They belong to me!" She tried to get them back, but Max was bigger and stronger. He pushed her away and said, "No, they are mine now! You can't have them!" + +Lily ran to her mom and told her what Max did. Mom was not happy with Max. She scolded him and made him give back Lily's paint and paper. She said, "You have to share and be nice to your sister. You can't take things that belong to her. That is not fair or kind." + +She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie. Your lion was very beautiful. Do you want to make another one?" Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, please. I love to paint." Mom gave her a new paper and helped her clean the paint. She said, "You are a very good painter. Maybe you can teach Max how to paint too, if he is sorry and asks nicely." Lily said, "Maybe. But he has to be gentle and not fierce like a lion." Mom and Lily laughed and went back to painting. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny. + +"Look, Sam, a balloon!" Tim said. + +"Wow, it is so high!" Sam said. + +They wanted to catch the balloon. They ran after it. But the balloon was faster. It flew away with the wind. + +"Come back, balloon!" Tim shouted. + +"Please, balloon!" Sam cried. + +But the balloon did not listen. It went far, far away, until they could not see it anymore. + +Tim and Sam were sad. They sat on the grass and looked at the sky. They wished they had the balloon. + +"Maybe the balloon will come back," Tim said. + +"Maybe," Sam said. + +But they knew it was not true. The balloon was gone. The game was over. + +They heard their mom calling them. It was time to go home. + +"Tim, Sam, come here!" Mom said. + +They got up and ran to Mom. They were obedient boys. They did what Mom said. + +"Did you have fun, boys?" Mom asked. + +They nodded. They did not want to tell Mom about the balloon. They thought she would be sad too. + +They hugged Mom and went home. They hoped they would see another balloon someday. But they also knew they had each other. And that made them happy. The end. +Tom and Lily like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and laugh. They see a big swing. They want to swing high and fast. + +"Can I go first?" Tom asks. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. Then it is my turn," Lily says. + +Tom climbs on the swing. He holds the ropes tight. He kicks his legs. The swing goes up and down. He feels the wind in his hair. He pretends he is a bird. He makes bird noises. + +"Tweet, tweet, tweet! I am a bird! I can fly!" Tom says. + +Lily watches Tom. She thinks he is silly. She giggles. She waits for her turn. + +"Tom, are you done? Can I swing now?" Lily asks. + +"One more time, Lily. Then you can swing," Tom says. + +He swings higher and higher. He pretends he is a rocket. He makes rocket noises. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom! I am a rocket! I can go to the moon!" Tom says. + +Lily watches Tom. She thinks he is sillier. She laughs. She wants to swing too. + +"Tom, please, can I swing now?" Lily asks. + +"OK, OK, Lily. You can swing now. But you have to pretend something too," Tom says. + +He jumps off the swing. He helps Lily climb on. He pushes her gently. The swing goes up and down. She feels the wind in her face. She pretends she is a princess. She makes princess noises. + +"La, la, la! I am a princess! I can wear a crown!" Lily says. + +Tom watches Lily. He thinks she is silly. He smiles. He pretends he is a knight. He makes knight noises. + +"Clank, clank, clank! I am a knight! I can protect the princess!" Tom says. + +They swing and pretend and make noises. They have fun. They are silly. They are happy. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They wanted to see what was behind it. + +They crawled through the hole and found a big house. It was very old and dirty. They saw a sign that said "Do not enter". But they did not care. They wanted to explore. + +They opened the door and went inside. It was dark and scary. They saw big chairs and tables and beds. They saw big clothes and shoes and toys. They thought it was fun. They tried on the clothes and shoes and toys. But they did not fit. They were too big for them. + +They did not know that the house belonged to a giant. The giant was away. He had gone to the market to buy food. He was very hungry. He liked to eat children. + +He came back and saw the door open. He smelled Tom and Sam. He was angry. He went inside and found them. They were scared. They tried to run away. But they were too slow. The giant caught them and put them in his pot. He invited his friends to come and eat them. They had a bad ending. +One day, a little girl named Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big pond with many ducks and geese. She wanted to feed them some bread, so she asked her mom for some. Her mom gave her a small piece and told her to be careful. + +Lily walked to the edge of the pond and threw the bread into the water. The ducks and geese swam to get it. Lily was happy to see them eat. She threw another piece and another. But then, a big goose came out of the water and walked to Lily. It wanted more bread. + +Lily was scared of the big goose. It had a long neck and a big beak. It made a loud honk and pecked at Lily's hand. Lily dropped the bread and ran to her mom. She was crying and upset. The goose was mean and greedy. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. The goose was just hungry. It didn't mean to hurt you. But you have to be careful around animals. They don't always understand what you want. Sometimes they can be rude or angry." + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She looked at the pond and saw the other ducks and geese eating the bread. She felt a little better. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to feed them. They looked cute and friendly." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I know, Lily. You are very kind and sweet. But you also have to be safe and smart. Next time, we can feed them from a distance. Or we can find some other animals to play with. How about we go to the swings and slide?" + +Lily agreed and followed her mom to the playground. She forgot about the big goose and had fun on the swings and slide. She laughed and giggled. She was happy again. She was tired too. She yawned and said, "Mom, can we go home now? I want to take a nap." + +Her mom said, "Sure, Lily. Let's go home. You had a big day. You need some rest. And maybe a snack too." + +Lily nodded and held her mom's hand. They walked to the car and drove home. Lily fell asleep on the way. She dreamed of ducks and geese. But this time, they were nice and gentle. They gave her hugs and kisses. She smiled in her sleep. She was not upset anymore. +Lily and Ben were playing a game. They had to spin around and then run to the table. On the table, there was a bottle of sauce. The first one to touch the sauce would win. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily said. They both spun around as fast as they could. Lily felt dizzy. She saw the sauce, but it was blurry. She tried to run, but she fell down. + +Ben spun around too, but he was not so dizzy. He saw the sauce clearly. He ran to the table and touched the sauce. "I win!" he shouted. + +Lily was sad. She wanted to win. She got up and looked at Ben. "That's not fair!" she said. "You spun less than me. You cheated!" + +Ben shook his head. "No, I didn't. I spun the same as you. You just spun too fast. That's why you got dizzy." + +Lily did not believe him. She was angry. She grabbed the sauce and threw it at him. The sauce splashed on his shirt and face. He screamed. + +"Hey, stop that!" he said. "That's not nice. That's not how you play." + +Lily did not care. She felt better. She smiled. "Now I win!" she said. +Sam likes hockey very much. He has a hockey stick and a puck. He plays hockey with his dad in the yard. He smiles when he scores a goal. He wants to be a hockey star. + +One day, Sam sees a flyer on the wall. It says: "Hockey Camp for Kids. Learn to play like a pro. Sign up now." Sam is very happy. He shows the flyer to his dad. He says: "Dad, can I go to hockey camp? Please, please, please!" + +Dad looks at the flyer. He frowns. He says: "I'm sorry, Sam. Hockey camp is too expensive. We don't have enough money. Maybe next year." + +Sam is very sad. He cries. He says: "But I want to go to hockey camp. I want to learn to play like a pro. It's not fair." + +Dad hugs Sam. He says: "I know, Sam. I know. But we have to be careful with our money. We have to pay for food and clothes and rent. Hockey camp is a luxury. Maybe we can save some money for next year. Or maybe you can find another way to go to hockey camp." + +Sam wipes his tears. He says: "Another way? What do you mean?" + +Dad smiles. He says: "Well, sometimes, there are scholarships or prizes for kids who are good at hockey. Maybe you can enter a contest or a raffle or a draw. Maybe you can win a spot at hockey camp. You never know." + +Sam thinks. He says: "Really? How can I find a contest or a raffle or a draw?" + +Dad says: "You can ask your teacher or your coach or your friends. You can look at the newspaper or the internet or the library. You can be creative and curious and brave. You can try your best." + +Sam nods. He says: "OK, Dad. I will try. I will look for a way to go to hockey camp. I will not give up. I will practice hard. I will smile again." + +Dad says: "That's my boy. I'm proud of you, Sam. I love you." + +Sam says: "I love you too, Dad. Thank you." +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures, and share snacks. One day, they went to the store with Max's mom. Max's mom said they could each pick one thing to eat. + +Lily saw a bag of shrimp. She loved shrimp. They were small and pink and yummy.

She took another one and another one. She did not share with Max. + +Max opened his box of cookies. He took one and put it in his mouth. It was so good. He took another one and another one. He did not share with Lily. + +Soon, they ate all their snacks. They looked at each other. They felt bad. They wanted to try each other's snacks. But they had none left. They felt sad and mad. + +"Why did you not share your shrimp with me?" Max asked Lily. + +"Why did you not share your cookies with me?" Lily asked Max. + +They did not answer. They did not know what to say. They felt regret. They wished they had shared their snacks. They wished they had been nice to each other. + +They sat on the bench and looked at the ground. They did not play. They did not draw. They did not talk. They felt sleepy. They wanted to go home. + +Max's mom came to pick them up. She saw their faces. She knew something was wrong. + +"What happened, kids?" she asked. + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt sorry. They wanted to be friends again. + +"We were mean to each other," Lily said. + +"We did not share our snacks," Max said. + +They hugged each other. They said they were sorry. They said they would share next time. + +Max's mom smiled. She was glad they made up. She gave them each a hug and a kiss. She said they could have more snacks at home. + +Lily and Max smiled. They felt happy. They held hands and walked to the car. They learned a lesson. They learned to share and be kind. They learned that shrimp and cookies are better when you have a friend. +Lily was eager to go to bed. She had a new book with pictures of fairies and flowers. She wanted to dream about them. She brushed her teeth, put on her pajamas, and hugged her teddy bear. She said good night to her mom and dad. + +She opened her book and looked at the bright colors. She read the words slowly. She felt sleepy. She closed her book and turned off the lamp. She closed her eyes and cuddled her teddy bear. She hoped to see fairies and flowers in her dreams. + +But she did not see fairies and flowers. She saw a big, scary monster. It had sharp teeth, red eyes, and long claws. It growled and roared. It came closer and closer to her bed. Lily was very afraid. She wanted to scream, but she could not. She wanted to run, but she could not. She wanted to wake up, but she could not. + +She opened her eyes and blinked. She saw the monster's face. It was about to bite her. She blinked again. She saw her mom's face. It was smiling and gentle. She heard her mom's voice. It was saying, "Lily, it's okay. It was just a nightmare. You're safe. I'm here." + +Lily felt a warm hug. She felt her teddy bear. She felt her mom's kiss. She felt relieved. She said, "Mom, I had a bad dream. There was a monster. It was very scary." Her mom said, "I know, sweetie. But it was not real. It was only in your head. You can forget about it. Do you want to read your book again? Maybe it will help you have nice dreams." + +Lily nodded. She was still a little scared, but she was also curious. She wanted to see the fairies and flowers again. She said, "Yes, please. Can you read it with me?" Her mom said, "Of course. Let's read it together." She turned on the lamp and opened the book. She read the words and showed the pictures. Lily listened and looked. She felt calm and happy. She closed her eyes and smiled. She hoped to see fairies and flowers in her dreams. +Anna was very excited. Today was her birthday and she saw a big package on the table. She wanted to open it right away, but Mom said she had to wait until after dinner. Anna was stubborn. She did not want to wait. She tried to sneak to the table and grab the package, but Mom saw her and said no. + +Anna was angry. She crossed her arms and pouted. She did not want to eat dinner. She did not want to talk to anyone. She just wanted her package. Mom tried to make her happy. She said they would have cake and sing and play games. But Anna did not care. She just wanted her package. + +After dinner, Mom said it was time to open the package. Anna ran to the table and tore off the paper. Inside was a big, soft, fluffy bear. Anna loved bears.

She said she loved Anna very much. Anna said she loved Mom too. They hugged again and kissed. Then they had cake and sang and played games. Anna had a good birthday. She was not stubborn anymore. She was happy. +Lila was a girl who liked to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped in the park, she skipped at home. She had a red rope that she used to skip with. She liked to swing the rope and jump over it. + +One day, as she was skipping in the park, she saw a rat. The rat was big and brown and had a long tail. It was hiding under a bench. Lila was not afraid of the rat. She wanted to play with it. She skipped over to the bench and said, "Hello, rat. Do you want to skip with me?" + +The rat looked at Lila and shook its head. It did not want to skip. It did not like the red rope. It thought the rope was a snake. It was afraid of the snake. It said, "No, no, no. Go away, girl. Leave me alone." + +Lila was sad. She did not understand why the rat did not want to skip. She thought skipping was fun. She said, "Please, rat. Don't be scared. The rope is not a snake. It is just a rope. See, I can make it go fast or slow. I can make it go high or low. It is fun to skip. Please, try it with me." + +The rat looked at the rope again. It saw that it was not a snake. It saw that Lila was smiling. It saw that Lila was kind. It decided to give skipping a try. It said, "Okay, okay, okay. I will try to skip with you. But you have to be careful. Don't hit me with the rope. Don't make it too hard. Don't make it too long." + +Lila was happy. She said, "Thank you, rat. I will be careful. I will make it easy. I will make it short. Come, let's skip together." She held one end of the rope and gave the other end to the rat. They skipped in the park. They skipped fast and slow. They skipped high and low. They had fun. They became friends. They skipped and skipped until it was time to go home. +One day, a little girl named Mia went to the zoo with her mom and dad. She liked to see the animals, but her favorite was the big lion. She wanted to hear him roar, so she asked her mom if they could go closer. + +"Okay, Mia, but be careful and stay with us," her mom said. "The lion is very strong and can hurt you if you are not safe." + +Mia nodded and followed her mom and dad to the fence where the lion was. She saw him lying on a rock, with his yellow eyes and his brown mane. He looked sleepy and bored. Mia wanted to make him happy, so she waved at him and said, "Hello, lion! Can you roar for me, please?" + +The lion heard Mia and lifted his head. He saw the little girl and her parents, and he felt curious. He decided to roar for them, to show them he was the king of the zoo. He opened his mouth and let out a loud roar that made the ground shake and the birds fly away. + +Mia was so excited and scared at the same time. She clapped her hands and said, "Wow, lion, you are amazing! Thank you for roaring for me!" + +But then she saw a stranger behind the fence. He was a man with a big bag and a net. He looked mean and sneaky. He wanted to catch the lion and take him away. He waited for the right moment and threw the net over the lion's head. + +The lion was surprised and angry. He tried to shake off the net, but it was too tight. He roared again, but this time it was a roar of pain and fear. + +Mia saw what was happening and screamed, "No, no, no! Leave the lion alone! He is my friend!" + +Her mom and dad heard her and saw the stranger. They ran to the fence and shouted, "Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? You can't take the lion! He belongs to the zoo!" + +The stranger was scared of the noise and the people. He dropped the bag and the net and ran away. He did not want to get caught and go to jail. + +The lion was free again. He shook his mane and looked at Mia and her parents. He was grateful and happy. He roared one more time, but this time it was a roar of thanks and joy. + +Mia smiled and said, "You are welcome, lion! I am glad you are safe!" + +The lion nodded and winked at her. He liked Mia and her parents. They were his friends. + +The end. +Lily liked to read novels. She had many novels in her room. She liked to read about princesses, dragons, and magic. She read every day before bed. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, you have too many novels. You need to give some away. You have no space for your toys and clothes." + +Lily was worried. She did not want to give away her novels. She loved them all. She said, "No, mom, please. I need my novels. They are my friends. They make me happy." + +Mom said, "Lily, you can keep some novels, but not all. You have to share with other kids who have no novels. You can choose ten novels to keep, and the rest we will donate to the library." + +Lily was sad. She did not know how to choose. She liked all her novels. She said, "Mom, can I keep more than ten? Can I keep twenty? Or thirty?" + +Mom said, "No, Lily, you cannot increase the number. Ten is enough. You have to be fair and generous. Come on, let's go to your room and pick the novels you want to keep." + +Lily and mom went to her room. Lily looked at her novels. She felt a big lump in her throat. She did not know what to do. She wished she could keep them all. +Tim and Mia were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they kicked the ball very hard and it went far away. + +One time, Tim kicked the ball so hard that it flew over the fence and into the street. He ran to get it, but he did not look for cars. Mia saw a big car coming fast and shouted, "Tim, stop! Car!" + +But Tim did not hear her. He ran into the street and tried to get the ball. The car could not stop in time and hit Tim. Tim fell down and did not move. Mia screamed and ran to him. She was very scared and sad. + +The car driver got out and called for help. He was very sorry and said, "I did not see him. It was a surprise. I tried to brake, but it was too late." + +Mia cried and hugged Tim. She hoped he would wake up and be okay.

And it was bad. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a big board in the garage. The board is white and smooth. + +"Look, a board!" Lily says. "We can draw on it!" + +"Good idea!" Tom says. "What do you want to draw?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes to draw flowers and stars. Tom likes to draw cars and planes. They decide to draw both. + +They get some crayons and start to draw. Lily draws a big yellow flower in the corner. Tom draws a red car next to it. They take turns and draw more things. They make the board colorful and fun. + +They are happy with their drawing. They show it to Lily's mom. + +"Wow, what a beautiful board!" Lily's mom says.

They are proud of their board. They hug each other and say, "We are good friends!" +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big box under their bed. It has a label that says "test". + +"What is this?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it!" Lily urges. + +They open the box and see many colorful things inside. There are balls, blocks, puzzles, and books. They are very happy and start to play with them. + +"Look, I can make a tower with these blocks!" Ben says. + +"Wow, that's very high! Can I try?" Lily says. + +They take turns to make towers with the blocks. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She comes into their room and looks angry. + +"Ben, Lily, what are you doing? This is not your box! This is a test for your dad. He needs it for his work. You should not touch it!" she says. + +Ben and Lily feel scared and sorry. They did not know it was a test. They thought it was a gift. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not know. We just wanted to play," they say. + +Mom sighs and hugs them. She is not mad anymore. She knows they are good kids. + +"It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to be careful next time. Some things are not for playing. They are for learning or working. Do you understand?" she says. + +Ben and Lily nod. They understand. They help mom to put the things back in the box. They hope dad will not be upset. + +Mom smiles and kisses them. She says, "I love you, Ben and Lily. You are very smart and curious. But sometimes, you have to ask before you touch. Now, let's go and have some cookies. You must be hungry after playing so much." + +Ben and Lily smile and follow mom. They are happy and hungry. They still like the colorful things in the box. But they like mom's cookies more. +Lily was a little girl who liked to hang her drawings on the wall. She used tape and scissors to cut and stick her pictures. She drew flowers and animals and rainbows. She was very proud of her art. + +One day, she wanted to hang a new drawing on the wall, but she ran out of tape. She looked around and saw an old coat hanger in the closet. She thought it would be a good idea to use it to hang her drawing. She took the coat hanger and tried to bend it into a hook. + +But the coat hanger was too hard and stiff. Lily could not bend it. She pulled and twisted and pushed, but it did not move. She got angry and frustrated. She threw the coat hanger on the floor and started to cry. + +"Hey, what's wrong, Lily?" her mom asked, hearing her cry. She came into the room and saw the coat hanger and the drawing. She hugged Lily and wiped her tears. + +"I want to hang my drawing, but I have no tape, and the coat hanger is too old and bad!" Lily sobbed. + +"I see, honey. Well, you don't need a coat hanger to hang your drawing. You can use a thumbtack. It's a little thing that has a pointy end and a round end. You can push the pointy end into the wall and hang your drawing on the round end. Do you want to try?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded and sniffed. Her mom gave her a thumbtack and helped her hang her drawing on the wall. Lily smiled and clapped her hands. + +"Look, mom, I did it! I hung my drawing!" she said. + +"That's wonderful, Lily! You are very clever and creative. I love your drawing. It's beautiful!" her mom said. + +They hugged and kissed and admired Lily's art. Lily was happy and proud. She forgot about the old coat hanger. She had a new way to hang her drawings. +Lila and Ben are playing on the beach. They like to make sand castles and dig holes. They also like to splash in the water and feel the waves. + +"Look, Lila, I found a big shell!" Ben says, holding up a shiny, pink shell. "It is so pretty!" + +"Wow, Ben, it is pretty!" Lila says, admiring the shell. "Can I see it?" + +"Sure, Lila, here you go." Ben hands the shell to Lila. She feels how smooth and cool it is. + +"Thank you, Ben. This shell is very nice. But it is also very heavy. Why is it so heavy?" Lila asks, struggling to hold the shell. + +"Maybe it is heavy because it has salt in it." Ben says, remembering what his mom told him. "The water has salt, and the shell soaks up the water. That makes it heavy." + +"Oh, I see. That makes sense." Lila says, nodding. "But I don't like salt. Salt is yucky. It makes my mouth dry and my eyes sting." + +"Me neither. I don't like salt. I like sweet things. Like ice cream and candy." Ben says, licking his lips. + +"Me too. I like sweet things. Do you want to go get some ice cream and candy?" Lila asks, smiling. + +"Yes, I do. Let's go get some ice cream and candy." Ben says, smiling back. + +They put the shell back on the sand and run to their mom. They ask her for some ice cream and candy. She says yes and gives them some money. They go to the ice cream and candy shop and buy their favorite flavors. They eat their ice cream and candy and feel happy. They don't think about the salt or the shell anymore.

But do you know what else they are?" asked Dad. + +He explained that the cow and the beef were the same animal, but in different forms. The cow was alive and gave milk, but the beef was dead and gave meat. He said that sometimes, things that look different are actually the same, and that we should not judge by appearances. + +He also said that the toys were not really theirs, but belonged to their grandpa, who gave them to them as a gift. He said that they should be grateful and respectful of the gift, and not fight over it.

Their moms and dads come in. They see the mess. They are angry. They say to Tom and Sam, "You should not leave your things on the floor. You should put them away. Now you have no band. You have to pay for the drum and the guitar." + +Tom and Sam are sorry. They say, "We are sorry. We wanted to play music for you. We did not know the dog would come in. We did not mean to make trouble." But their moms and dads are still angry. They say, "You have to learn to be careful. You have to go to your rooms. You have no music today." + +Tom and Sam go to their rooms. They are sad. They have no band. They have no music. They have no fun. The end. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They are building a big tower with many colors. Lily likes the red blocks and Ben likes the blue blocks. They are having fun. + +"Look, Lily, I made a tall tower!" Ben says. + +"Wow, Ben, your tower is very big!" Lily says. "Can I put a yellow block on top?" + +"Okay, Lily, but be careful. Don't make it fall!" Ben says. + +Lily reaches for a yellow block and tries to put it on the tower. But she pushes too hard and the tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise and scatter on the floor. + +"Oh no, Lily, you broke my tower!" Ben says. He is sad and angry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to!" Lily says. She is sorry and scared. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees the blocks on the floor and the children's faces. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. + +"Lily broke my tower!" Ben says. + +"I'm sorry, Mom, it was an accident!" Lily says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them both. + +"It's okay, my loves, accidents happen. But you have to clean up the blocks now. They are new and we don't want to lose them or break them. Can you help me?" Mom says. + +"Yes, Mom, we can help you!" Lily and Ben say. + +They start to pick up the blocks and put them in a big box. Mom helps them too. They sort the blocks by color and shape. They make a game out of it. They are happy again. + +"Good job, Lily and Ben! You cleaned up the blocks very well!" Mom says. + +"Thank you, Mom! We love you!" Lily and Ben say. + +They hug Mom and give her a kiss. Then they take the box of blocks to their room. They are ready to play again. But this time, they will be more careful. +Anna and Ben are friends who like to play pretend. They have many costumes in their toy box. Sometimes they are pirates, sometimes they are superheroes, sometimes they are animals. + +One day, they decide to have a costume contest. They want to see who has the best costume. They are very competitive. They both want to win. + +Anna picks a fairy costume. She puts on a pink dress, a pair of wings, and a wand. She thinks she looks very pretty and magical. + +Ben picks a dinosaur costume. He puts on a green suit, a tail, and a mask. He thinks he looks very scary and strong. + +They show each other their costumes. They both think their own costume is better. + +"I am a fairy. I can fly and do magic. You are just a big lizard. You can only roar and stomp." Anna says. + +"I am a dinosaur. I can run and bite. You are just a small bug. You can only sparkle and wave." Ben says. + +They start to argue. They are not having fun anymore. + +Then, their mom comes in. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. + +"Stop it, Anna and Ben. You are supposed to be friends. Why are you being mean to each other?" She asks. + +They both try to explain. They tell her about the costume contest. They tell her why their costume is better. + +Their mom shakes her head. She has an idea. + +"Why don't you try something different? Why don't you suggest a costume for each other? Maybe you will find something you both like." She says. + +Anna and Ben think about it. They look at the toy box. They see many costumes. + +Anna sees a cowboy hat and a lasso. She thinks Ben would like them. She suggests them to him. + +Ben sees a mermaid tail and a crown. He thinks Anna would like them. He suggests them to her. + +They both smile. They like the suggestions. They swap their costumes. They try them on. + +They look at each other. They laugh. They think they look funny and cool. + +They thank their mom. They hug each other. They are friends again. + +They play pretend. They have fun. They forget about the contest. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play near the sea. They liked to watch the big boats and the sailors who worked on them. Sometimes, they would pretend to be sailors too, and make hats and boats from paper. + +One day, they saw a sailor who was sitting on a bench. He had a big smile and a blue hat. He waved at them and said, "Hello, little sailors! Do you want to see my boat?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and ran to him. They asked, "Can we go on your boat? Please, please, please!" + +The sailor laughed and said, "Well, I don't see why not. But you have to ask your mom or dad first. They have to permit you to go on my boat. It's not safe to go without them." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and said, "Okay, we will ask them. Wait here, we will be back soon!" + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a blanket with a book. They told her about the sailor and his boat. They begged her to let them go. + +Their mom looked at the sailor and saw that he was friendly and kind. She said, "Alright, you can go on his boat. But only for a little while, and you have to wear these vests. They will help you float if you fall in the water." + +Lily and Ben put on the vests and thanked their mom. They ran back to the sailor, who was waiting for them. He took them by the hand and led them to his boat. It was a small boat, but it had a sail and a flag. He helped them get on board and showed them around. + +They had a lot of fun on the boat. They learned how to steer, how to raise the sail, and how to sing sailor songs. They saw fish and birds and waves. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces. They were very happy. + +The sailor was happy too. He liked to share his boat and his stories with the twins. He said, "You are very good sailors. You can come back anytime you want. But now, it's time to go back. Your mom will be waiting for you." + +He turned the boat around and sailed back to the shore. He helped them get off and gave them each a hug. He said, "Goodbye, little sailors. I hope to see you again soon." + +Lily and Ben said, "Goodbye, sailor. Thank you for the boat ride. We had a lot of fun." + +They ran to their mom, who was happy to see them. They told her everything they did and saw on the boat. They said, "We love the sailor. He is very nice. Can we go on his boat again?" + +Their mom smiled and said, "Maybe, if he permits you. And if you are good and listen to me. Now, let's go home. It's time for lunch." + +Lily and Ben agreed and followed their mom. They looked back at the sailor, who waved at them. They waved back and said, "Bye, bye, sailor. See you soon!" +Anna and Ben were going on a safari with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see the animals, but also a little nervous. They had never seen lions, elephants, or giraffes before. + +"Mom, can I take my camera?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, dear. You can take pictures of the animals, but don't get too close to them. They might be scared or angry," Mom said. + +"Ben, can I borrow your binoculars?" Anna asked. + +"OK, but only if you let me use your camera sometimes. I want to take pictures too," Ben said. + +They got in the big car with the open roof and drove into the park. The guide told them the names of the animals and some facts about them. Anna and Ben saw zebras, monkeys, rhinos, and hippos. They were amazed by how big and different they were. + +"Look, there's a lion!" Ben shouted, pointing with his binoculars. + +"Wow, he's so beautiful and strong. Let me see," Anna said, grabbing the camera. + +They took turns looking and taking pictures of the lion, who was lying under a tree. He looked at them with his yellow eyes, but did not move. + +"Is he sleeping?" Anna asked. + +"No, he's just resting. He hunts at night, when it's cooler," the guide explained. + +Anna and Ben felt a little less nervous and more curious. They wanted to see more animals and learn more about them. They had a lot of fun on their safari and made many memories. +Anna had a new friend at school. Her name was Lily. Anna wanted to introduce Lily to her toys at home. She asked her mom if Lily could come over after school. Mom said yes. + +Anna and Lily walked to Anna's house. They went to Anna's room. Anna showed Lily her bed, her books, and her pictures. Then she opened her drawer. She had many toys in her drawer. She had dolls, cars, blocks, and animals. She wanted to share them with Lily. + +But Lily did not want to play with Anna's toys. She said they were boring. She wanted to play with something else. She looked around the room. She saw Anna's crayons on the table. She grabbed them and ran to the wall. She started to draw on the wall with the crayons. + +Anna was upset. She did not like Lily drawing on her wall. She said, "Stop! That is not nice. You are making a mess. Mom will be angry." She tried to take the crayons from Lily. But Lily did not listen. She pushed Anna away. She said, "Go away. I do what I want. You are a bad friend." + +Anna started to cry. She ran to her mom. She told her what Lily did. Mom was upset too. She went to Anna's room. She saw the wall. She said to Lily, "You have to go home now. You are not a good guest. You have to say sorry to Anna and help her clean the wall." Lily did not want to. She was angry. She said, "No. I don't care. You are mean." She ran out of the house. + +Anna and Lily were not friends anymore. Anna learned that some people are not nice. She decided to play with her toys in her drawer. She liked them better. She hoped to find a better friend soon. +Ben and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Ben has a plastic truck that makes loud noises when he pushes a button. Mia has a plastic doll that can open and close her eyes and mouth. + +"Look, Mia, my truck can honk and beep!" Ben says, pushing the button over and over. He likes the sounds his truck makes. + +Mia covers her ears with her hands. She does not like the noises. They hurt her ears. She is deaf, but she can hear a little bit with her hearing aids. She tries to talk to Ben with her hands, but he does not see her. + +"Ben, stop, please!" Mia says, waving her hands. "Your truck is too loud. It is not nice. Play with me and my doll. She can open her eyes and mouth. See?" + +Ben finally looks at Mia. He sees her hands moving and her mouth saying words. He remembers that Mia is deaf and that she talks with her hands. He feels sorry for making her sad. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Ben says, putting down his truck. "I did not know you were talking to me. I forgot you are deaf. Your doll is pretty. Can I see her?" + +Mia smiles and nods. She gives her doll to Ben. He gently opens and closes her eyes and mouth. He makes a funny face and Mia laughs. + +"Thank you, Ben," Mia says, hugging him. "You are a good friend. I like your truck, too. But can you make it quieter?" + +Ben nods and hugs her back. He finds a switch on his truck and turns it off. The truck stops making noises. + +"Okay, Mia," Ben says. "Now we can play with both our toys. And we can talk with our hands and our mouths. We can have fun." + +Mia and Ben play happily together. They share their toys and their words. They are good friends. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a favorite bench where they would sit and talk. The bench was old and wooden, but it was cozy and had a nice view of the pond. + +One day, they went to the park and saw a big sign on their bench. The sign said: "This bench is owned by Mr. Brown. Do not sit here." Lily and Sam were sad and confused. Who was Mr. Brown? Why did he own their bench? + +They decided to ask the park keeper, who was raking the leaves nearby. They walked up to him and said: "Hello, sir. We are Lily and Sam. We like to play in the park and sit on that bench. But now there is a sign that says it is owned by Mr. Brown. Who is he? Can we still sit on the bench?" + +The park keeper smiled and said: "Hello, Lily and Sam. I know you. You are good children who always keep the park clean and share with others. Mr. Brown is a man who lives in that big house over there. He says he owns the bench because he paid for it a long time ago. But he never comes to the park or uses the bench. He just likes to put signs on things." + +Lily and Sam thought that was very silly and mean. They said: "But we love the bench. We sit on it every day. It is our special place. Can we please sit on it, even if Mr. Brown owns it?" + +The park keeper nodded and said: "Of course you can. You are welcome to sit on any bench in the park. Mr. Brown's sign does not matter. He cannot stop you from enjoying the park. It is a public place for everyone. And today is a mild day, perfect for sitting on a bench and watching the ducks." + +Lily and Sam thanked the park keeper and ran to their bench. They took off the sign and threw it in the trash. Then they sat on the bench and talked and laughed. They did not care about Mr. Brown or his sign. They only cared about their friendship and their bench. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tom wants to go on the slide, but Lily is scared. + +"Come on, Lily, it is fun!" Tom says. He holds Lily's hand and pulls her to the slide. + +"No, Tom, it is too high!" Lily says. She tries to let go of Tom's hand, but he is strong. + +"Trust me, Lily, it is not scary!" Tom says. He is honest. He likes the slide and he wants Lily to like it too. + +They climb up the stairs to the top of the slide. Lily looks down and feels dizzy. She holds Tom's hand tight. + +"Ready, Lily?" Tom asks. He smiles at her. + +Lily nods. She is brave. She wants to try the slide with Tom. + +They sit on the slide and slide down together. They go fast and feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream. + +They reach the bottom of the slide and jump off. They hug each other. + +"That was fun, Tom!" Lily says. She is happy. + +"See, Lily, I told you!" Tom says. He is proud. + +They hold hands and run to the slide again. They want to slide more. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing a game. They had to find different things in the house that started with the same sound. Tom found a ball, a book and a banana. Lily found a lamp, a leaf and a lion. They showed each other what they found and said the sounds. + +"Good job, Tom! You found three things that start with 'buh'," Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily! You found three things that start with 'luh'," Tom said. + +They were having fun, but they were also very tired. They had been playing for a long time and it was almost bedtime. They started to yawn and rub their eyes. + +"Are you sleepy, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I am. Are you sleepy, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, I am. Maybe we should stop playing and go to bed," Lily said. + +"But what about the prize?" Tom said. + +They had agreed that whoever found the most things would get a prize. The prize was a sticker that they could put on their notebook. + +"Who do you think won the game, Tom?" Lily said. + +"I don't know, Lily. I think we both did a good job. Maybe we can share the prize," Tom said. + +Lily smiled and nodded. She liked Tom's idea. She took the sticker and tore it in half. She gave one half to Tom and kept the other half for herself. + +"Here you go, Tom. This is your prize. You are a good friend and a good player," Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily. This is your prize. You are a good friend and a good player, too," Tom said. + +They stuck their stickers on their notebooks and hugged each other. They were proud of themselves and each other. They said good night and went to bed. They dreamed of playing more games and finding more things. +Lily loved animals very much. She wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. A veterinarian is a person who helps sick and hurt animals. Lily had many stuffed animals that she pretended were her patients. She gave them names and bandages and medicine. + +One day, Lily found a real animal in her backyard. It was a small bird with a broken wing. It was lying on the grass and looked very sad. Lily felt sorry for the bird and wanted to help it. She carefully picked it up and brought it inside. She put it in a shoebox with some cotton and water. She called her mom and said, "Mom, I found a bird. It has a boo-boo. Can I keep it?" + +Mom came to see the bird and said, "Oh, Lily, you are very kind, but this bird needs a real veterinarian. We have to take it to the animal hospital. They have special tools and skills to fix the bird's wing. Maybe they can restore it. Restore means to make something good and strong again." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, let's go. But can I come with you? I want to see the veterinarian and learn how to help animals." + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily, you can come with me. But you have to be very quiet and gentle at the animal hospital. There are many other animals there who need care and peace. And you have to listen to the veterinarian and do what he says. He knows best how to help the bird." + +Lily agreed and said, "I will, Mom, I promise. I don't want to be naughty. Naughty means to do bad things and make trouble. I want to be good and helpful. I love animals and I want them to be happy and healthy." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm proud of you, Lily. You have a big heart and a curious mind. Maybe you will be a great veterinarian someday. But for now, let's go and see what we can do for the bird." + +They took the bird in the shoebox and got in the car. Lily held the box on her lap and whispered to the bird, "Don't worry, little bird, we will help you. You will fly again soon. You are brave and beautiful." The bird looked at Lily with its bright eyes and chirped softly. Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, little bird. You're my friend." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many flowers and trees. One day, they saw an elderly lady walking by their fence. She looked sad and tired. + +"Hello, lady. Why are you sad?" Tom asked. + +The lady stopped and smiled at them. "Hello, children. I am sad because I lost my cat. He ran away this morning and I can't find him. He is black and white and has a red collar. His name is Spot." + +"Maybe we can help you find him. We like cats. We have a cat too. Her name is Fluffy. She is orange and fluffy." Lily said. + +"Really? That is very kind of you. I would be so happy if you could find Spot. He is my only friend." The lady said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and ran inside to get their hats and water bottles. They told their mom that they were going to help the lady find her cat. Their mom said it was okay, but they had to be careful and stay close to the yard. + +Tom and Lily went outside and started to look for Spot. They looked under the bushes, behind the rocks, and in the flower beds. They called his name and shook a bag of treats. They did not see him anywhere. + +They were about to give up when they heard a soft meow. They followed the sound and saw Spot on a branch of a big tree. He was stuck and scared. He could not get down. + +"Spot! We found you!" Tom and Lily shouted. + +They ran to the tree and tried to reach him. But they were too short. They needed something to help them. + +"Look, there is a ladder in the shed. Maybe we can use it to get Spot." Lily said. + +"Good idea. Let's go get it." Tom said. + +They ran to the shed and got the ladder. They carried it to the tree and set it up. Tom climbed the ladder and reached for Spot. Spot was happy to see him and let him pick him up. Tom brought him down and gave him to Lily. Lily hugged him and gave him a treat. + +"Good job, Tom. We solved the problem. We found Spot." Lily said. + +"Yay, we did it. We are good helpers." Tom said. + +They ran back to the fence and gave Spot to the lady. The lady was overjoyed and thanked them. She hugged them and gave them cookies. She said they were very smart and brave. + +Tom and Lily smiled and said they were happy to help. They said goodbye to the lady and Spot and went back to their yard. They played with Fluffy and ate their cookies. They felt proud and happy. They liked to solve problems and make people smile. They liked the sunshine and the flowers and the trees. They liked each other. They were the best twins ever. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play near the harbor. The harbor has big boats and water. Sometimes they see fish and birds. + +One day, Tom and Jen find a small boat. It is weak and old. It has a hole and no sail. But Tom and Jen think it is fun. They want to go inside the boat and pretend to be sailors. + +"Come on, Jen, let's go in the boat!" Tom says. He jumps in the boat and sits on a seat. He holds a stick and says, "I am the captain!" + +Jen is scared. She does not want to go in the boat. She thinks the boat is not safe. She says, "No, Tom, I don't want to go in the boat. The boat is weak and old. It can sink in the water. Let's play something else." + +But Tom does not listen. He says, "Don't be a baby, Jen. The boat is fine. It is fun. Come on, join me!" + +He pulls Jen's hand and makes her go in the boat. Jen cries and says, "No, Tom, no!" + +But it is too late. The boat moves in the water. The hole gets bigger. The water gets inside the boat. The boat sinks in the harbor. + +Tom and Jen scream and call for help. But no one hears them. The water is deep and cold. The fish and birds do not help them. Tom and Jen are gone. The boat is gone. The harbor is quiet. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They have a big cardboard box. They want to make a house with it. They cut a door and a window in the box. They draw flowers and stars on the walls. + +"Look, our house is ready!" Lily says. "Let's enter and have a tea party!" + +They enter the box and sit on the floor. They pretend to have cups and plates and cakes. They talk and laugh. + +But they do not hear their mom calling them. She is standing at the door of the real house. She is waving her hand. + +"Tom! Lily! Time to come in!" she says. "It is getting dark and cold!" + +But Tom and Lily are deaf to her voice. They are having too much fun in their cardboard house. They do not see her hand. + +Mom walks to the garden. She sees the box. She smiles. She knows they are inside. + +She knocks on the door of the box. "Knock, knock! Who is there?" she says. + +Tom and Lily are surprised. They hear the knock. They wonder who it is. + +They open the door. They see their mom. They are happy. + +"Mom!" they say. "Do you want to join our tea party?" + +Mom nods. She enters the box. She sits with them. She pretends to have tea and cake. She talks and laughs with them. + +They have a cozy and fun time in their cardboard house. They forget about the dark and the cold. They are not deaf to each other. They are a happy family. +Anna was eager to go to class today. She liked to play with the blocks and the dolls and the books. She also liked to see her friends and her teacher. She put on her coat and her hat and ran to the car with her mom. + +In class, Anna saw her best friend Lily. They hugged and smiled and went to the block corner. They started to build a big tower with the blocks. They were having fun. + +But then, Ben came over. Ben was not nice. He liked to take things and break things and make noise. He saw Anna and Lily's tower and he wanted it. He pushed Lily and grabbed some blocks. Lily cried and Anna got angry. + +"Stop it, Ben! That's not yours! That's ours!" Anna shouted. + +Ben laughed and threw a block at Anna. It hit her arm and it hurt. Anna felt a big pinch in her arm. She pinched Ben back on his cheek. He screamed and dropped the blocks. + +The teacher heard the noise and came over. She saw Anna and Ben and the broken tower. She was not happy. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +"Ben took our blocks and hurt us!" Anna said. + +"Ben, is that true?" the teacher asked. + +Ben nodded and rubbed his cheek. He looked sorry. + +The teacher made Ben say sorry to Anna and Lily. She also made him help them fix the tower. Anna and Lily forgave Ben and let him play with them. They finished the tower and it was very tall. They were proud of it. + +The teacher smiled and praised them. She gave them each a sticker and a hug. Anna was happy again. She liked her class. +Jack and Jill liked to play in the woods. They liked to climb trees and find bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a big pile of lumber near a hut. The lumber was heavy and long and had nails in it. + +"Let's build a fort with the lumber," Jack said. He took a piece and dragged it to a spot under a tree. + +"No, let's not," Jill said. She was scared of the nails and the hut. "Maybe someone lives in the hut and needs the lumber. Maybe they will be angry if we take it." + +Jack did not listen to Jill. He wanted to build a fort. He took another piece and put it on top of the first one. He tried to make a wall. + +Jill heard a noise from the hut. She saw a man come out. He had a beard and a hat and a big axe. He looked at Jack and Jill and the lumber. He was angry. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing with my lumber?" he shouted. He walked towards them with his axe. + +Jack and Jill were scared. They dropped the lumber and ran away. They did not want to play in the woods anymore. + +They ran back to their house and told their mom what happened. She hugged them and said they were lucky. She said they should not take things that are not theirs. She said they should not go near the hut again. + +She also said they should not mention the lumber to anyone. She said the man was a bad man who did bad things with the lumber. She said he was wanted by the police. + +Jack and Jill nodded. They learned their lesson. They did not mention the lumber ever again. +Anna liked to look at the stars at night. She wondered what they were and how far they were. She wanted to know more about them. One night, she asked her mom to tell her a story about the stars. + +"Mom, can you tell me a story about the stars?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, my dear. Do you see that bright star over there?" Mom pointed to a star in the sky. + +"Yes, I see it. It is very shiny," Anna said. + +"That is not a star, actually. That is a planet. A planet is a big ball of rock or gas that goes around the sun. The sun is the biggest star we can see. There are many planets in the sky, but some are too far or too small to see," Mom explained. + +"Wow, that is amazing. What is the name of that planet?" Anna asked. + +"That planet is called Venus. It is the second planet from the sun. It is very hot and has a lot of clouds. Some people call it the morning star or the evening star, because it is often the first or the last star you can see in the sky," Mom said. + +"I like Venus. It is very pretty. It looks graceful in the sky," Anna said. + +"Yes, it does. Venus is a beautiful planet. But do you know what is the most beautiful planet of all?" Mom asked. + +"What is it, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"It is the planet we live on. It is called Earth. Earth is the third planet from the sun. It has water and land and air and life. It has many colors and shapes and sounds and smells. It has many animals and plants and people. It is a wonderful planet. And you, my dear, are the most wonderful thing on Earth," Mom said. + +"Really, Mom? Thank you. I love you. And I love Earth. And I love Venus. And I love the stars. They are all so amazing," Anna said. + +"I love you too, my dear. And I love the stars too. They are amazing indeed. They are like little lights that remind us of how big and beautiful the universe is. And how lucky we are to be part of it," Mom said. + +They hugged and kissed and watched the stars together. They felt happy and grateful. They fell asleep under the starry sky. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to skip on the grass, swing on the swings, and slide on the slides. They were very happy. + +One day, they saw something shiny on the ground. It was a diamond. It sparkled like a star. Lily and Max were very curious. They picked up the diamond and looked at it. + +"Wow, this is so pretty!" Lily said. "Where did it come from?" + +"I don't know," Max said. "Maybe someone lost it. Maybe it is magic." + +"Can we keep it?" Lily asked. "We can share it. It can be our special thing." + +Max nodded. He liked the idea. He liked to share with Lily. They put the diamond in their pocket and skipped to the bench. They sat down and took turns holding the diamond. They made up stories about the diamond. They pretended it was a fairy's gift, a pirate's treasure, or a king's crown. They had a lot of fun. + +They did not see the man who was looking for his diamond. He had dropped it by accident when he was walking his dog. He was very sad. He had bought the diamond for his wife. It was their anniversary. He searched everywhere, but he could not find it. + +He was about to give up when he saw Lily and Max on the bench. He recognized his diamond in their hands. He walked over to them and smiled. + +"Hello, kids," he said. "That's a very nice diamond you have there. Where did you find it?" + +Lily and Max looked at him. They were surprised. They did not know him. + +"We found it on the ground," Lily said. "It was shiny. We liked it." + +The man nodded. He understood. He was not angry. He was glad they liked it. But he also wanted it back. + +"I see," he said. "Well, you know what? That diamond is actually mine. I lost it when I was walking my dog. It is very important to me. It is a gift for my wife. She loves diamonds. Do you think you could give it back to me, please?" + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They were sad. They liked the diamond. They liked their stories. They did not want to give it back. But they also knew it was not theirs. They knew it was the man's. They knew he needed it. They knew it was the right thing to do. + +They nodded. They gave the diamond back to the man. They said sorry. + +The man thanked them. He was very happy. He gave them a hug. He gave them a reward. He gave them two big lollipops. He said they were very kind and honest. He said they were very good friends. + +Lily and Max smiled. They were happy too. They had their lollipops. They had their friendship. They skipped away. They still had their stories. They still had their fun. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. The weather was brilliant. The sun was bright and warm, and the sky was blue and clear. + +"Look, Sara, a big cloud!" Ben said, pointing at the sky. "It is white and fluffy, like cotton." + +Sara looked up and smiled. "Yes, it is. Do you know what clouds are, Ben?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, what are they?" + +Sara said, "They are made of water. Tiny drops of water that float in the air. Sometimes they make rain, or snow, or thunder." + +Ben nodded. "Wow, that is cool. Can we touch them?" + +Sara said, "No, they are too high. But we can pretend. Let's run and catch them!" + +They ran across the grass, laughing and shouting. They reached out their hands and tried to grab the cloud. But the cloud was moving too fast. It drifted away from them, towards the sun. + +"Hey, where did it go?" Ben asked, looking around. + +Sara said, "It vanished. The sun made it disappear. The sun is hotter than the cloud, and it makes the water go away." + +Ben said, "Oh, I see. That is amazing. Can we find another cloud?" + +Sara said, "Sure, let's look for one. Maybe we can see a rainbow too. Rainbows are brilliant. They have many colors, like red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple." + +They ran to another part of the park, where they saw a small cloud. They chased it, hoping to see a rainbow. They had fun, learning about the weather and the sky. +Sara likes to do many things. She likes to play with her toys, read her books, and help her mom. But her favorite thing to do is to check the mailbox. Every day, after lunch, she puts on her shoes and coat and runs to the mailbox with her mom. + +Sara hopes to find something special in the mailbox. Sometimes, she gets a card from her grandma, or a sticker from her dentist, or a magazine with animals. She loves to open the envelopes and look at the pictures and words. She asks her mom to read them to her. + +But today, the mailbox is empty. Sara feels sad. She does not see anything special. She only sees a regular bill for her mom. She does not like bills. They are boring and make her mom worry. She asks her mom, "Why is there nothing for me today?" + +Her mom hugs her and says, "Don't be sad, Sara. Sometimes, the mailbox is empty. That's okay. It does not mean that nobody loves you. It just means that they are busy or they forgot. Maybe tomorrow, you will get something special. Or maybe, you can make something special for someone else. Do you want to do that?" + +Sara nods and smiles. She likes the idea of making something special for someone else. She says, "Yes, mom. I want to do that. Can we make a card for grandma? She always sends me cards. I want to say thank you and I love you." + +Her mom says, "Of course, Sara. That's a very nice thing to do. Let's go inside and get some paper and crayons. Then, we can make a card for grandma and put it in the mailbox. Maybe, she will get it soon and be very happy." + +Sara and her mom go inside and make a card for grandma. They draw flowers and hearts and write a message. Sara puts a big kiss on the card. Then, they go back to the mailbox and put the card inside. Sara feels happy. She does not mind that the mailbox was empty today. She knows that she did something special for someone else. And maybe, tomorrow, she will get something special too. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll with a pink bow in her hair. Ben had a car that made noises when he pushed it. They were having fun and making up stories. + +But then, their baby brother Tom woke up from his nap. He started to cry and disturb them. He wanted to play too, but he was too small and did not know how to share. He crawled to Lily and grabbed her doll. He pulled the bow and tried to put it in his mouth. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Lily shouted. She took the doll back from Tom. "You can't have it. It's not for babies. Go away!" + +Tom cried louder and reached for Ben's car. He knocked it over and made it stop working. Ben was angry and sad. He loved his car. He said to Tom, "No, no, no! You broke my car. You are a bad baby. Leave us alone!" + +Tom felt hurt and confused. He did not understand why his siblings did not want to play with him. He just wanted to have fun and be with them. He looked at them with big, wet eyes. + +Lily and Ben saw Tom's face and felt sorry. They realized they were not being nice to him. He was their brother and they loved him. They decided to be more creative and find a way to play with him. + +They gave him some soft blocks and a teddy bear. They showed him how to stack the blocks and hug the bear. They made funny faces and sounds to make him laugh. They also let him touch their toys gently and told him their names. + +Tom smiled and clapped his hands. He was happy and stopped crying. He played with the blocks and the bear. He also looked at the doll and the car with curiosity and respect. He said, "Doll. Car. Bow. Vroom. Thank you." + +Lily and Ben hugged him and said, "You're welcome. We love you, Tom. You are a good baby. Let's play together." +Ben was a little boy who liked to play outside. One day, he saw a big dog in his yard. He wanted to pet the dog, but he was frightened. He did not know if the dog was friendly or not. + +He ran to his mom and said, "Mom, there is a big dog in our yard. Can I pet him?" + +Mom looked out the window and saw the dog. She smiled and said, "That is Max. He is our new neighbor's dog. He is very nice and gentle. Do you want to introduce yourself to him?" + +Ben nodded and followed his mom outside. Mom called the dog and he came wagging his tail. Mom said, "Max, this is Ben. He is my son. Ben, this is Max. He is our new friend." + +Ben reached out his hand and touched the dog's fur. It was soft and warm. The dog licked his hand and made a happy sound. Ben giggled and said, "Hi, Max. You are a good dog. I like you." + +They played together for a while, until Ben felt an itch on his arm. He looked and saw a red spot. He scratched it and said, "Ow, it hurts. What is this?" + +Mom came and looked at his arm. She said, "Oh, you have a mosquito bite. It is not serious, but it can be very itchy. Come, let's go inside and put some cream on it. It will make it feel better." + +Ben said goodbye to Max and went inside with his mom. He was happy that he had made a new friend, but he hoped that the mosquito would not bite him again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream. + +"Can we have ice cream, please?" they said to the man in the truck. + +"Sure, what flavor do you want?" the man said. + +"I want chocolate," Lily said. + +"I want vanilla," Tom said. + +The man gave them each a cone with ice cream on top. They paid him with some coins and said thank you. They walked to a bench and sat down to eat their ice cream. + +They licked their cones and smiled. The ice cream was cold and sweet. They felt happy and peaceful. They looked at the sky and saw some birds and clouds. They blinked their eyes and made a wish. + +"I wish we could have ice cream every day," Lily said. + +"I wish we could play in the park forever," Tom said. + +They finished their cones and threw them in the trash. They held hands and ran back to the grass and the swings. They played until it was time to go home. They hugged each other and said goodbye. + +"See you tomorrow, Lily," Tom said. + +"See you tomorrow, Tom," Lily said. + +They waved and walked away. They had a good day. +Sara liked to read books with her mom. She liked to look at the pictures and learn new words. One day, she found a big book on the shelf. It had many pages and many pictures. Sara wanted to read it by herself. + +She took the book to her room and opened it on her bed. She tried to turn the pages, but they were too big and too thin. She pulled too hard and one page ripped. Sara was sad and scared. She did not want to break the book. She did not want to make mom angry. + +She ran to the living room and found mom on the couch. She held the book and the torn page in her hands. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I broke the book. I wanted to read it, but I ripped the page. Can you fix it?" + +Mom looked at the book and the page. She was not angry. She hugged Sara and said, "It's okay, Sara. I'm not mad at you. You did not mean to break the book. You were curious and wanted to learn. That's a good thing. But next time, be careful with the books. They are fragile and need to be handled gently. And if you need help, you can always ask me. I'm happy to read with you and help you understand the words." + +Mom took the book and the page and got some tape. She taped the page back to the book and smoothed it out. She said, "There, the book is fixed. It's not perfect, but it's still readable. Do you want to read it with me now?" + +Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, please. Thank you, mom. You are very helpful. I love you." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Sara. Come, let's read the book together." + +The moral value of the story is: curiosity is good, but carelessness is bad. Books are valuable and need to be respected. If you make a mistake, you should admit it and apologize. If you need help, you should ask for it. And reading with your mom is fun and educational. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box of toys in the park. They are very happy. They open the box and see many different toys. They see cars, dolls, balls, puzzles and more. + +Tom picks up a car and says, "This is my toy. I like cars. They are fast and fun." Mia picks up a doll and says, "This is my toy. I like dolls. They are pretty and nice." They play with their toys and have fun. + +But then, they see a puzzle. It is a picture of a farm with animals and plants. It has many pieces. Tom and Mia both want the puzzle. They say, "This is my toy. I want the puzzle. It is fun and hard." They start to pull the puzzle from each other. They are not happy. They are angry and sad. + +They hear a voice. It is a lady. She is the owner of the box of toys. She says, "Hello, children. I see you like my toys. But you have to share them. You can't fight over them. That is not nice. Why don't you solve the puzzle together? It is more fun and easy that way." + +Tom and Mia look at the lady. They look at the puzzle. They look at each other. They say, "Sorry, lady. Sorry, friend. We were not nice. We can share the puzzle. We can solve it together. That is a good idea." They smile and hug. They put the pieces of the puzzle together. They see the farm with animals and plants. They are happy. They say, "Thank you, lady. Thank you, friend. We like your toys. We like to play together." The lady smiles and says, "You are welcome, children. You are good friends. You can keep the puzzle. It is a gift for you. Have fun and be nice." Tom and Mia say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." They are very happy. They play with the puzzle and their toys. They are friends. The end. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. But they did not like to put them away when they were done. Their room was always messy and their mom was always angry. + +One day, mom said, "You have to tidy your room today, or you will not get any dessert after dinner. And you have to do it before I come back from the store." She gave them a big bag to put their toys in and left. + +Sam and Lily looked at their room and sighed. They did not want to tidy it. They wanted to play some more. They saw their favorite doll and car on the floor and picked them up. + +"Let's play with these for a while," Sam said. + +"OK, but we have to hurry," Lily said. "Mom will be back soon." + +They played with their doll and car for a long time. They had fun and forgot about the time. They did not hear mom's car in the driveway. They did not hear mom's footsteps on the stairs. They did not hear mom's knock on the door. + +Mom opened the door and saw their room. It was still messy. There were toys everywhere. The bag was empty. Mom was very angry. + +"Sam and Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "You did not tidy your room at all. You did not listen to me. You did not prevent me from being angry. Now you will not get any dessert. And you will have to tidy your room tomorrow too." + +Sam and Lily felt sad and sorry. They wished they had tidied their room when mom told them to. They learned that they should obey mom and keep their room tidy. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We will do better tomorrow. We love you." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too. But you have to learn from your mistake. Tidying your room is not hard. It is good for you. It makes you happy and me happy. And it helps you find your toys when you want to play with them. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will tidy our room tomorrow. And we will prevent you from being angry again." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good. I hope you do. Now, go to bed. And maybe, if you are good tomorrow, you will get some dessert after dinner." + +Sam and Lily said, "Thank you, mom. Good night." + +They went to bed and dreamed of their toys. They hoped they would find them in their tidy room tomorrow. +Lily liked to play with her toys in the park. She had a ball, a doll, and a car. She liked to share her toys with her friends, but not with strangers. Strangers were people she did not know. + +One day, a furry dog came to the park. He had a big nose, a long tail, and a wet tongue. He looked at Lily's toys and wagged his tail. He wanted to play with them. He ran to Lily and barked. + +"Can I borrow your ball?" he asked with his eyes. + +Lily was scared. She did not know the dog. He was a stranger. She hugged her ball and said, "No, this is my ball. Go away!" + +The dog did not listen. He jumped on Lily and tried to take her ball. Lily cried. She did not like the dog. He was not nice. + +Then, a man came to the park. He had a leash and a collar. He was the dog's owner. He saw the dog and Lily and ran to them. + +"I'm sorry, he's just playful. He likes to borrow things. He doesn't mean to hurt you," he said. He took the dog and put the leash and collar on him. He gave Lily a cookie and said, "Here, this is for you. I hope you're okay." + +Lily stopped crying. She took the cookie and said, "Thank you. But please don't let your dog borrow my toys. He is too furry and too big." + +The man nodded and said, "I understand. I'll keep him away from your toys. Come on, boy, let's go home." + +He walked away with the dog. The dog looked back at Lily and wagged his tail. He was sorry. He just wanted to play. + +Lily smiled and said, "Bye, dog. Maybe we can play another day. But only if you ask nicely." +Lily and Tom have a tent. They like to play in the tent in the garden. They pretend they are camping in the woods. They have a picnic and a flashlight. + +One day, a big dog comes to the garden. He sees the tent and thinks it is a toy. He runs to the tent and bites it. He makes a hole in the tent. Lily and Tom hear the dog and get scared. + +"Who is there?" Lily asks. + +"Woof, woof!" the dog answers. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom shouts. "You are foolish! You broke our tent!" + +The dog does not listen. He likes the tent. He pulls the tent and drags it away. Lily and Tom run after the dog. They want their tent back. + +"Stop, dog, stop!" they cry. + +But the dog is faster. He runs out of the garden and into the street. He takes the tent with him. Lily and Tom cannot catch him. They are sad and angry. + +They go back to the garden. They see their picnic and their flashlight. They have no tent. They sit on the grass and cry. They wish they had a new tent. They wish the dog had not been foolish. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a small dog. The dog is wet and cold. It has no home. + +"Look, a dog!" Ben says. "Can we bring it home?" + +Mia shakes her head. "No, we can't. Mom and Dad will be angry. They don't like dogs." + +"But the dog needs shelter. It is raining. It will be sick," Ben says. He feels sorry for the dog. + +Mia thinks for a moment. She feels sorry too. "Maybe we can find another place for the dog. A place where it can be warm and dry." + +They look around. They see a big box. The box is empty. They drag the box to a corner. They put some old clothes and a blanket inside. They make a door with a flap. + +"Come here, dog," Ben calls. He holds out his hand. The dog is scared. It barks and runs away. + +"Please, dog, don't be afraid. We want to help you," Mia says. She takes out a biscuit from her pocket. She breaks it in half. She gives one piece to Ben. They kneel down and offer the other piece to the dog. + +The dog smells the biscuit. It is hungry. It comes closer. It takes the biscuit from Mia's hand. It wags its tail. + +"Good dog," Ben says. He pets the dog. The dog licks his face. + +Mia smiles. She pets the dog too. The dog licks her face. + +They lead the dog to the box. They show it the clothes and the blanket. They say, "This is your shelter. You can stay here. We will come back and visit you. We will bring you more food and water. We are your friends." + +The dog barks happily. It goes inside the box. It curls up on the blanket. It feels warm and safe. + +Ben and Mia wave goodbye. They run back to their house. They are happy. They are generous. They have helped the dog. +Sam and Lily were playing with their dolls in the garden. They had a tea party with cups and plates and cookies. Sam poured some milk from a bottle for his doll and said, "Here you go, baby. Drink your milk and grow big and strong." + +Lily wanted some milk too, but Sam did not share. He said, "No, this is my milk. You have water for your doll. Milk is for babies, not for big girls." + +Lily felt angry and sad. She said, "That is not fair, Sam. Milk is for everyone. You are a mean brother. Give me some milk now!" + +Sam did not listen. He held the bottle tight and said, "No, no, no. Go away, Lily. This is mine." + +Lily tried to grab the bottle from Sam, but he pushed her hard. Lily fell on the ground and hurt her knee. She cried out loud and dropped her doll. The doll hit a rock and broke. Its head came off and its eyes closed. Lily saw her doll and cried more. She said, "Sam, you are a bad brother. You pushed me and made my doll dead. I hate you!" + +Sam felt sorry and scared. He did not mean to hurt Lily or her doll. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not want to push you or make your doll dead. I was selfish and rude. Please forgive me. Here, you can have some milk. And we can fix your doll. Please don't hate me." + +Lily looked at Sam and saw his sad face. She felt sorry too. She said, "It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. You are my brother and I love you. But you have to share and be nice. And we have to be careful with our toys. They are not alive, but they are precious." + +Sam nodded and hugged Lily. He said, "I love you too, Lily. And you are right. We have to share and be nice and be careful. Come on, let's go inside and get a band-aid for your knee and some glue for your doll. And we can have some cookies and milk together." + +Lily smiled and hugged Sam back. She said, "Okay, let's go. And thank you for the milk. It is yummy and good for us." + +They picked up their dolls and their cups and their plates and their cookies. They walked inside the house, holding hands. They were happy and sorry and sorry and happy. They learned a lesson and they said sorry and they said thank you. They were good siblings and good friends. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to play shop. Lily was the shopkeeper and Ben was the customer. + +"Hello, what do you want to buy?" Lily asked. + +"I want to buy a nose," Ben said. + +"A nose? Why do you want a nose?" Lily wondered. + +"Because I want to smell the flowers," Ben said. + +"But you have a nose already," Lily said, pointing to his face. + +"No, I don't. I lost it," Ben lied. + +"Lost it? How did you lose it?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a bird took it," Ben said. + +Lily did not believe him. She knew he was being stubborn and silly. She looked around the room and saw a red ball on the floor. + +"Here, I have a nose for you," she said, picking up the ball. "It is red and round and soft. It is only one dollar." + +Ben looked at the ball and shook his head. + +"That is not a nose. That is a ball," he said. + +"No, it is a nose. See, it has two holes for breathing," Lily said, poking the ball with her fingers. + +Ben still did not want the ball. He wanted a real nose. + +"That is not a real nose. That is a fake nose. I want a real nose," he said. + +Lily sighed. She did not know how to sell a nose to Ben. She thought he was being very stubborn and silly. She wished he would play nice with her. + +"Fine, then. You can't buy a nose here. You have to go to another shop," she said. + +"Okay, bye," Ben said, and walked away. + +Lily was sad. She wanted to play with Ben, but he did not want to play with her. She hoped he would come back soon and be nice to her. She put the ball back on the floor and waited for him. +Lily and Ben were playing in the hut they made with sticks and leaves. They liked to pretend it was their home in the forest. They had a table, a bed and some toys inside. + +But then, a big wind came and blew hard. The hut started to shake and some leaves fell off. Lily and Ben were worried. They did not want their hut to break. + +"Ben, we have to fix the hut!" Lily said. "Or we will have no home!" + +"How can we fix it?" Ben asked. "We have no more sticks or leaves." + +Lily looked around and saw a big pile of rocks. She had an idea. + +"Come on, Ben. We can use the rocks to make the hut stronger. We can put them around the sticks and on the roof. Then the wind will not blow it away." + +Ben liked the idea. He helped Lily carry the rocks and put them on the hut. They worked hard and soon the hut looked better. It was more solid and cozy. + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged each other. They were happy. They had fixed their hut and saved their home. They went inside and played some more. They did not mind the wind anymore. They felt safe and warm in their hut. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. But they were not careful and went too far. They found a swamp with green water and bad smell. + +"Look, a swamp!" Lily said. "Let's go see what is there." + +"No, Lily, it is dirty and icky. We should go back," Ben said. He was scared of the swamp. + +But Lily was curious and ran to the swamp. She saw a big frog sitting on a log. She wanted to touch it and say hello. But the frog was grumpy and did not like Lily. It jumped and bit her finger. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "The frog bit me! It hurts!" + +Ben heard Lily and ran to help her. He saw her finger bleeding and the frog croaking. He was angry at the frog and threw a stone at it. The frog jumped away and hid under the water. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go home. Mommy will heal your finger," Ben said. He took Lily's hand and led her away from the swamp. + +Lily was still crying and holding her finger. She was sorry for going to the swamp and making Ben mad. She said to Ben, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was silly and naughty. I won't go to the swamp again." + +Ben hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry too. I was scared and mean. I won't throw stones at frogs again." + +They walked back to the garden and found Mommy. Mommy cleaned and bandaged Lily's finger and gave her a kiss. She said, "You are brave, Lily. Your finger will heal soon. But you should not go to the swamp. It is dangerous and dirty. You should stay in the garden and play with Ben." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy. We will." They hugged Mommy and each other and went back to play. They were happy and safe in the garden. They did not want to see the swamp or the grumpy frog again. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They wonder how high they can make their towers. + +One day, they decide to count their blocks. They want to know how many blocks they have. They put their blocks in a big pile and start to count. Sara says, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." Ben says, "Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty." They keep counting until they reach fifty. + +They are very happy. They have fifty blocks. They think they can make a very high tower with fifty blocks. They start to build their tower. They put one block on top of another. They make the tower thin and tall. They want to see how high it can go. + +They are almost done. They have only one block left. They want to put it on the very top of the tower. Sara says, "I will do it. I can reach the top." Ben says, "No, I will do it. I am taller than you." They start to argue. They both want to put the last block on the tower. + +They pull the last block from each other. They tug and tug. They do not see that the tower is shaking. The tower is too thin and too tall. It cannot stand. It falls down. It makes a loud noise. It breaks all the blocks. The blocks are everywhere. Sara and Ben are sad. They have no more blocks. They have no more tower. They have no more fun. They cry. They wish they did not argue. They wish they did not break their blocks. They wish they did not wonder how high they can make their tower. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cage with a bird inside. The bird is sad and scared. + +"Who put the bird in the trap?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe a bad man," Anna says. + +"Let's help the bird. We are compassionate. We can open the trap and let the bird fly away," Tom says. + +They go near the trap. Tom tries to open the door. But the door is locked. He pulls hard. The trap shakes. The bird flaps its wings. + +"Be careful, Tom. You might hurt the bird," Anna says. + +But Tom does not listen. He pulls harder. The trap falls. It makes a loud noise. The bird cries. + +Suddenly, a big dog runs to the trap. The dog is angry. It barks and growls. It wants to eat the bird. + +"Run, Tom, run!" Anna shouts. + +But Tom is too late. The dog jumps on him. It bites his arm. Tom screams. He drops the trap. The bird flies away. + +Anna runs to Tom. She holds his arm. She cries. She calls for help. + +But no one comes. The dog bites Tom again. Tom stops screaming. He closes his eyes. He is gone. +Lily liked to play with her whistle. She made loud sounds with it and danced around. She did not care if her mom or dad said to stop. She thought it was fun. + +One day, she saw a big cake on the table. It looked yummy. It had pink and white frosting and sprinkles. Lily wanted to have some. She did not wait for mom or dad. She climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. + +But she was not careful. She knocked over the cake and it fell on the floor. It made a big mess. Lily was scared. She tried to hide the cake with a napkin. She put her whistle in her mouth and ran away. + +Mom and dad came home and saw the cake. They were angry. They looked for Lily and found her in her room. They saw the whistle in her mouth. They knew she did it. + +They took away her whistle and said she could not play with it anymore. They said she had to say sorry and help clean up the cake. Lily was sad. She cried and cried. She wished she had not destroyed the cake. She wished she had listened to mom and dad. She wished she had not been sour. +Lily and Ben like to play music. They have a band. Lily plays the drum. Ben plays the guitar. They make loud sounds and have fun. + +One day, they want to play for their friends. They ask Mom and Dad to help them. Mom and Dad support them. They help them carry their instruments and set up a stage in the backyard. They also make snacks and drinks for the guests. + +Lily and Ben are excited. They wear their band hats and shirts. They start to play their songs. Their friends clap and dance. They like their music. + +But then, a fat cat jumps on the stage. He wants to play too. He runs around and knocks over the drum and the guitar. He makes a big mess. Lily and Ben are sad. Their band is ruined. + +Mom and Dad come to the rescue. They hug Lily and Ben and tell them it's okay. They help them fix their instruments and clean up the mess. They also chase away the fat cat. They tell Lily and Ben they are proud of them. They ask them to play again. + +Lily and Ben smile. They thank Mom and Dad. They play their songs again. Their friends cheer and sing. They have a great time. They love their band. +Tom is a boy who likes to write. He writes on paper, on walls, on books, on anything he can find. He does not care if he makes a mess or if he ruins things. He thinks writing is fun and he does not listen to anyone who tells him to stop. + +One day, he finds a green staff in his dad's room. He does not know what it is, but he thinks it looks cool. He decides to write on it with his marker. He writes his name, some shapes, some letters, and some numbers. He is very happy with his writing. + +But the green staff is not a toy. It is a magic staff that belongs to his dad, who is a wizard. His dad uses the staff to do good things, like help people, heal animals, and grow plants. The staff is very powerful and very special.

"It has a princess and a fairy and a magic wand!" + +"No, I want to watch this film!" Ben said, holding a blue film. "It has a car and a robot and a big race!" + +They both pulled on the films. They were very stubborn. They did not want to change their minds. + +Mom came into the room. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the films. She was not happy. + +"Stop that!" Mom said. "You are not being nice to each other. You have to share and take turns. Why don't you watch one film now and another film later?" + +Lily and Ben looked at Mom. They knew she was right. They did not want to make Mom sad. They decided to change their minds. + +"OK, Mom," Lily said. "We can watch Ben's film now. But I get to choose the next film!" + +"OK, Mom," Ben said. "We can watch Lily's film later. But I get to hold the remote!" + +Mom smiled. She was glad that Lily and Ben were being nice to each other. She put Ben's film in the player. They all sat on the couch and watched the film. They had fun. +Lily loved to watch the planes in the sky. She liked how they made loud noises and left white trails behind them. She wanted to join them and fly high and far. + +One day, her dad took her to the airport. He said they were going to see the planes up close. Lily was very excited. She held her dad's hand and walked to the big building. + +Inside, there were many people and bags and screens. Lily saw some planes outside the windows. They were very big and shiny. She pointed at them and said, "Look, dad, planes!" + +"Yes, Lily, those are planes," her dad said. "And guess what? We are going to join them. We have tickets to go on a plane and fly to grandma's house." + +Lily gasped. She couldn't believe it. She was going to join the planes in the sky. She felt happy and scared at the same time. She hugged her dad and said, "Thank you, dad. I love you." + +"I love you too, Lily," her dad said. "Come on, let's go to our gate. Our plane is waiting for us." + +They followed the signs and the announcements and found their gate. They showed their tickets and boarded the plane. Lily looked out the window and saw the wings and the engines. She thought they were very impressive. + +She buckled her seat belt and listened to the instructions. She heard the plane start to move and speed up. She felt a push and a lift. She looked out the window again and saw the ground get smaller and smaller. She saw the clouds and the sun and the other planes. She smiled and said, "Wow, dad, we joined the planes!" + +"Yes, we did, Lily," her dad said. "And soon we will join grandma too. She is waiting for us with cookies and hugs." + +Lily nodded and leaned on her dad's shoulder. She felt happy and safe. She closed her eyes and dreamed of planes and grandma.

Some people like to swim and sail in the ocean." + +Ben says, "What is that yellow thing on the map? Is it sand?" + +Miss Lee says, "Yes, Ben. That is sand. It is called the desert. It is very hot and dry. There are not many plants or animals in the desert. Some people like to ride camels and explore the desert." + +Anna and Ben nod. They learn new words and facts. They think the map is useful. They thank Miss Lee for teaching them. They want to see more of the world. +Lily was a girl who liked to write in her diary. She wrote about her day, her friends, her toys and her dreams. She kept her diary in a secret place under her bed. She did not want anyone to read it. + +One day, Lily came home from school and ran to her room. She wanted to write about the new song she learned. But when she looked under her bed, she saw that her diary was gone. She felt very sad and angry. Who took her diary? + +She heard a noise from the living room. She went there and saw her little brother, Ben, playing with her diary. He had opened it and scribbled on the pages with his crayons. He had also spilled juice on it and made it dirty. + +"Ben, give me my diary!" Lily shouted. "That is mine, not yours!" + +Ben looked at her and smiled. He did not understand why she was mad. He liked the diary. It had many colors and pictures. He thought it was a book for him. + +"No, this is my book!" Ben said. "I like it!" + +Lily tried to grab the diary from him, but he held it tight. They pulled and pushed, but neither of them would let go. The diary tore in half. Lily and Ben both gasped. + +Lily felt a big pain in her heart. She looked at her diary and saw that it was ruined. All her words and drawings were gone. She could not fix it. She started to cry. + +Ben saw that Lily was crying. He felt sorry for her. He did not mean to hurt her. He did not know that the diary was important to her. He wanted to make her happy. + +He gave her the half of the diary that he had. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know. Here, you can have it." + +Lily took the half of the diary and hugged it. She looked at Ben and saw that he was sad too. She realized that he was just a baby who did not know better. She felt a little better. + +She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, please ask me before you take my things. And don't make them dirty." + +Ben nodded. He said, "Okay, Lily. I'm sorry. I love you." + +Lily smiled. She said, "I love you too, Ben." + +They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They decided to share the diary and make new drawings together. They were happy again. +Sara and Ben like to play with their rubber toys. They have a rubber duck, a rubber ball, a rubber snake and a rubber frog. They make funny noises and pretend they are in a pond or a jungle. + +One day, Sara's rubber duck gets a hole in it. She tries to squeeze it, but it does not quack. It only makes a hissing sound and air comes out. Sara is sad. She loves her rubber duck. + +"Ben, can you help me?" Sara asks her brother. "My rubber duck is broken. It does not quack anymore." + +Ben looks at the rubber duck. He sees the hole. He thinks for a moment. He is very creative. He has an idea. + +"I know what to do!" Ben says. "We can replace your rubber duck with something else. Something that can quack. Like this!" He picks up a plastic bottle and blows into it. It makes a loud quacking sound. + +Sara smiles. She thinks that is a good idea. She takes the plastic bottle and tries it. It quacks too. She laughs. + +"Thank you, Ben!" Sara says. "You are very smart and creative. You made a new rubber duck for me. Can we play with it together?" + +"Of course!" Ben says. "Let's play with our new rubber duck and our other rubber toys.

One day, she was going to the park with her mom and dad. She put on her coat and tried to zip it, but it was hard. She pulled and pulled, but the zipper did not move. + +"Mom, dad, help me!" she cried. + +Her mom and dad came to her and saw the problem. The zipper was caught in her scarf. They gently untangled it and zipped her coat for her. + +"Thank you, mom and dad," Sara said. + +"You're welcome, sweetie," they said. "Now let's go to the park and have some fun." + +They walked to the park and saw Sara's neighbor, Ben. Ben was older than Sara and liked to tease her. He saw her coat and said, "Hey, Sara, nice coat. Did your mom and dad zip it for you? You're such a baby. You can't do anything by yourself." + +Sara felt angry and sad. She did not like Ben. He was mean and rude. She wanted to say something back, but she did not know what. + +"Leave her alone, Ben," her dad said. "She can zip her coat by herself. She just had a little trouble today. That's okay. Everyone has trouble sometimes. Even you." + +Ben did not like that. He felt embarrassed and angry. He wanted to make Sara feel bad again. He saw a graceful bird on a tree and said, "Hey, Sara, look at that bird. It's so pretty and graceful. Can you fly like that? No, you can't. You're too clumsy and slow. You can't even zip your coat." + +He laughed and ran away. Sara felt more angry and sad. She liked birds. She wished she could fly like them. She looked at the bird and said, "I'm sorry, bird. Ben is mean. He does not know anything. You're beautiful and graceful. I like you." + +The bird heard Sara and felt sorry for her. It liked Sara too. It saw Ben running away and had an idea. It flew from the tree and followed Ben. It waited until Ben was near a puddle and then swooped down and pecked his head. Ben screamed and stumbled. He fell into the puddle and got wet and dirty. + +Sara saw what happened and smiled. She felt happy and proud. The bird had helped her. It had taught Ben a lesson. It flew back to Sara and landed on her shoulder. It chirped and nuzzled her cheek. + +"Thank you, bird," Sara said. "You're my friend. You're brave and smart. I love you." + +The bird loved Sara too. It stayed with her and played with her. Sara's mom and dad saw them and smiled. They were glad that Sara had a new friend. They were proud of her too. She had zipped her coat by herself. She had stood up to Ben. She had made a graceful bird happy. She was big and proud. +Lila and Tom 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. + +"Let's go inside and have some cocoa," Lila said. "I'm cold and thirsty." + +"OK," Tom said. "But first, let's follow the footprints in the snow. Maybe they lead to a treasure." + +Lila and Tom followed the footprints. They were big and round. They went past the snowman, past the fence, and into the woods. Lila and Tom were curious. + +"Who made these footprints?" Lila asked. + +"Maybe a bear," Tom said. "Or a giant." + +They followed the footprints until they came to a small cabin. The cabin had a chimney and a window. Smoke came out of the chimney. Lila and Tom peeked through the window. + +Inside the cabin, they saw a man. He had a long beard and a red coat. He was sitting by the fire. He had a mug in his hand. He looked grumpy. + +"Hello," Lila said, knocking on the window. + +The man looked up. He saw Lila and Tom. He frowned. + +"Who are you?" he asked. "What do you want?" + +"We're Lila and Tom," Lila said. "We followed the footprints in the snow. We were playing outside and we wanted some cocoa." + +The man sighed. He opened the door. + +"Come in, then," he said. "But don't touch anything. This is my cabin. I'm Santa Claus." + +Lila and Tom gasped. They went inside. The cabin was cozy and warm. There were toys and books and candy everywhere. + +"Wow," Lila said. "You're really Santa Claus?" + +"Yes, I am," the man said. "But I'm not in a good mood. I have a lot of work to do and no one to help me. And my cocoa is bitter. I ran out of sugar." + +"Can we help you?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe," the man said. "But first, have some cocoa. It's not very good, but it's hot." + +He poured some cocoa for Lila and Tom. They tasted it. It was bitter. + +"Yuck," Lila said. "This is not good cocoa." + +"I know," the man said. "But it's all I have." + +Lila and Tom felt sorry for the man. They wanted to make him happy. + +"Maybe we can find some sugar for you," Lila said. "And some marshmallows. And some cookies. And some milk. And some sprinkles. And some whipped cream. And some chocolate. And some candy canes. And some..." + +"OK, OK," the man said. "That's enough. You don't need all that. Just some sugar would be nice. But where will you find it?" + +Lila and Tom smiled. They had an idea. + +"We'll be right back," they said. They ran outside. They went to the snowman. They took his hat and his scarf. They filled them with snow. They ran back to the cabin. + +"Here you go," they said. They gave the hat and the scarf to the man. + +"What's this?" the man asked. + +"It's snow," Lila said. "But it's not just snow. It's magic snow. It's sweet and yummy. Try it." + +The man was skeptical. He took a spoonful of snow. He put it in his mouth. He was surprised. It was sweet and yummy. + +"Mmm," he said. "This is good snow. How did you do that?" + +"We don't know," Tom said. "We just made it with love." + +The man smiled. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He added some snow to his cocoa. He stirred it. He tasted it. It was delicious. + +"Wow," he said. "This is the best cocoa ever. Thank you, Lila and Tom. You made my day." + +"You're welcome, Santa Claus," Lila and Tom said. "Can we help you with your work?" + +"Sure," the man said. "You can help me wrap the presents and load the sleigh. And maybe, if you're good, you can ride with me tonight." + +"Really?" Lila and Tom asked. + +"Really," the man said. "But only if you promise to be back before morning. And to keep this a secret. And to always be kind and brave and happy." + +"We promise," Lila and Tom said. + +They hugged the man. They helped him with his work. They had a lot of fun. They drank more cocoa. They rode with him in his sleigh. They saw the stars and the moon and the +Sara and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. They are having fun and making a lot of noise. But the lady next door is grumpy. She does not like noise. She knocks on the wall and shouts, "Be quiet, you little brats!" + +Sara and Tom are scared. They stop playing and look at each other. They do not want to make the lady angry. They whisper, "What do we do?" + +Tom has an idea. He says, "Let's make her a card. Maybe she will be happy then." Sara nods. They get some paper and crayons and draw a picture of the lady with a smile and a flower. They write, "We are sorry. We hope you have a nice day." + +They go to the door and slide the card under it. They wait for a moment. Then they hear the lady open the door and pick up the card. They hear her say, "Oh, how sweet. Thank you, Sara and Tom. You are very kind." + +Sara and Tom smile. They are happy. They have made the lady happy. They go back to their toys and play quietly. They hope the lady will be their friend. +Sam liked to go to the zoo with his mom and dad. He liked to see the animals and hear their sounds. He liked the monkeys, the birds, the elephants, and the lions. But his favorite animal was the tiger. He thought the tiger was big and strong and pretty. + +One day, Sam saw a sign that said "Do not feed the animals". He did not know what it meant. He saw some people throwing popcorn and peanuts to the monkeys. He thought it was fun. He wanted to do the same. He asked his mom for some popcorn. She gave him some and told him to eat it. But Sam did not want to eat it. He wanted to feed it to the tiger. + +He ran away from his mom and dad and went to the tiger cage. He saw the tiger lying on the grass.

They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. Lily wanted to go on the slide. Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it's fun!" Lily said. "You can use the ladder to go up and then slide down." + +"No, Lily, it's too high. I might fall. It's not safe." Ben said. He stayed on the ground. + +Lily did not listen.

She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a shelf for her books. She liked to make everything neat and pretty. + +One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the dentist at noon. Lily did not like the dentist. She was scared of the big chair, the loud drill, and the shiny tools. She wanted to stay home and play with her toys. + +But Lily's mom said it was important to take care of her teeth. She said Lily was a brave girl and she could do it. She said they would have a special treat after the dentist. + +Lily decided to be brave. She put on her coat and shoes, and took her favorite doll with her. She hugged her doll and said, "We can do it, doll. We are brave." + +At the dentist, Lily sat on the big chair and opened her mouth. The dentist was nice and gentle. He counted her teeth, cleaned them, and gave her a sticker. He said Lily was a very good and brave patient. + +Lily smiled and thanked the dentist. She was proud of herself. She had done it. She and her doll were brave. She and her mom went to get ice cream as a special treat. Lily was happy. She had organized her toys, gone to the dentist, and had ice cream. It was a good day. +It was a sunny day and Tom was very enthusiastic. He wanted to play outside with his ball. He asked his mom if he could go to the park. + +"Sure, Tom, but be careful and don't go too far," his mom said. + +Tom put on his hat and shoes and ran to the park. He saw some other kids playing with their balls. He joined them and had fun. He kicked his ball high and far. He ran after it and tried to catch it. + +But he did not see the hole in the ground. He stepped on it and lost his balance. He fell down and hurt his knee. He cried out loud. + +"Ouch! That hurts!" he said. + +The other kids came to help him. They saw his knee was bleeding.

She wants all the toys for herself. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a big box. Inside the box, there are many things. There are books, and balls, and dolls, and cars. Sara and Ben are happy. They want to play with the things. + +But Sara says, "These are mine. You can't have any." She takes the things out of the box and puts them in a pile. She says, "I will measure them. I will see how many I have." + +Ben is sad. He says, "That's not fair. We should share. We are twins. We can play together." + +But Sara does not listen. She takes a ruler and starts to measure the things. She says, "This book is ten inches. This ball is five inches. This doll is eight inches. This car is six inches." + +She does not see that a cat is watching her. The cat is hungry. It sees the pile of things. It thinks, "These look tasty. I will eat them." + +The cat jumps on the pile.

They hope to find more things. But the box is empty. There is only a note. It says, "These things were for both of you. But you were selfish. You did not share. You did not measure your love.

Lily had a plastic doll that she liked very much. Tom had a plastic car that he liked very much. They were happy and shared their toys. + +But then Tom saw a red bottle on the table. He was curious and wanted to see what was inside. He climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. He opened it and smelled it. It was spicy and made him sneeze. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Lily asked. She saw Tom with the bottle and was worried. She knew that the bottle was not a toy. It was hot sauce that their mom used for cooking. She told Tom to put it back. + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to play with the bottle. He thought it was funny to make Lily sneeze too. He ran towards Lily and squirted some hot sauce on her face. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. The hot sauce burned her eyes and nose and mouth. It hurt a lot. She dropped her doll and rubbed her face.

They wished they had been nice and careful. They had no toys and no fun. They had a bad ending. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big porch with a swing and a slide. They also had a dog named Spot who was very smelly. Spot liked to roll in the mud and chase the birds. + +One day, Ben and Lily were on the porch with Spot. They were taking turns on the swing and the slide. Spot was lying on the floor, wagging his tail. + +"Spot is our dog. We own him," Ben said. + +"No, I own him. He is my dog," Lily said. + +They started to argue. They both wanted Spot to be their own dog. They pulled his ears and his tail. Spot did not like that. He barked and growled. + +"Stop it! Stop it!" a voice said. It was their mom. She came out of the house and saw them fighting over Spot. + +"What are you doing? You are hurting Spot. He is not a toy. He is a living thing. He loves you both. You should love him too. And you should share him. He is not your own dog. He is our family dog," she said. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They let go of Spot and hugged him. They said sorry to him and to each other. They agreed to share Spot and to take good care of him. They also agreed to give him a bath, because he was very smelly. + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's better. Now, why don't you play nicely on the porch with Spot? And maybe later, we can have some cookies and milk." + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom." They went back to the porch with Spot. They played happily on the swing and the slide.

It's my special book where I write my thoughts and secrets." + +Tom replied, "Wow, that's cool. Can I see it?" + +Lily hesitated for a moment but then decided to share it with Tom. Tom read the diary and saw some things that made him upset. He thought Lily was talking about him in a bad way. + +The next day, Tom didn't want to play with Lily anymore. He was upset and didn't want to talk to her. Lily didn't understand why Tom was upset with her. She tried to talk to him, but he ignored her. + +In the end, Lily realized that sharing her diary was not a good idea. She learned that some things are meant to be kept private.
