From that day on, she was never afraid of the dull darkness in the forest again. +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily. She loved to play in the hall of her house, but it was very dirty. Her mom always told her to clean up her toys, but she didn't listen. One day, Lily tripped and fell on a toy and hurt herself. + +Her mom came running and saw the mess. She told Lily that they needed to remove all the toys from the hall and clean it up. Lily helped her mom pick up the toys and put them away.

She learned that it was important to remove things that could cause accidents and to keep her house clean. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her pillow. Her pillow was soft and fluffy, and she loved to hug it tight. One day, Lily's mommy told her that they were going to see a brilliant show at the park. + +Lily was so excited! She rushed to get ready, putting on her favorite dress and grabbing her pillow. When they got to the park, Lily saw lots of people sitting on the grass, waiting for the show to start.

One day, Lily's friend Timmy came over to play. Timmy asked Lily if he could play with her ball, but Lily said no because it was special to her. + +Timmy got sad and said, "I wish I had a ball like that." + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea! Let's trade. You can have my ball and I can have your toy car." + +Timmy was happy with the idea and they made the trade. But after a few days, Lily realized that the toy car was not as fun as she thought it would be. She missed her ball. + +So, Lily went to Timmy and asked, "Can we reverse the trade? I want my ball back." + +Timmy said, "Sure, but I want something in return." + +Lily asked, "What do you want?" + +Timmy replied, "I want to marry your doll." + +Lily thought it was a cheap price to pay to get her ball back, so she agreed. They reversed the trade and Lily was happy to have her ball back. Timmy was happy too because he got to marry Lily's doll. +Tom and Mia like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and bridges. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green. They have fun making different things. + +One day, they want to make a very high tower. They use all the blocks they have. They put one block on top of another, and another, and another. The tower is huge. It is taller than Tom and Mia. It is taller than the table. It is taller than the chair. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They want to show their tower to Mom and Dad. They run to the door and sign to them. Sign means to use their hands to talk.

They sign "Wow, wow, what a huge tower! You are very clever!" They hug and kiss Tom and Mia. + +But then, something happens. The wind blows through the window. It makes the tower shake. The blocks start to fall. One by one, they crash to the floor. The tower is gone. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They sign "Oh, oh, our tower is broken!"

We love you!" + +Tom and Mia stop crying. They smile and nod. They sign "Yes, yes, we can make another tower. We love you too!" They pick up the blocks and start to build again. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to pass the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away. + +One day, a big man came and took their ball. He said it was his ball and they could not have it. Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They asked for their ball back, but the big man said no and walked away. + +Tom and Lily ran after the big man. They wanted their ball. They shouted and cried. The big man did not stop.

It was brown and dirty and had holes in it. + +"Look, a sack!" Lila said. "What is inside?" + +"I don't know. Let's see!" Tom said. They ran to the sack and opened it. Inside, they saw many pigeons. The pigeons were gray and white and had red feet. They were scared and noisy. + +"Wow, pigeons!" Lila said. "They are so pretty!" + +"Shh, don't scare them!" Tom said. "Maybe they are lost. We should help them." + +They tried to pick up the pigeons, but the pigeons did not like it. They flapped their wings and pecked their hands. They flew out of the sack and into the sky. + +"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Lila and Tom said. "The pigeons are powerful! They hurt us!" + +They ran away from the sack and the pigeons. They saw a man coming to the park. He had a hat and a coat and a net. He looked angry. + +"Hey, you kids!" the man shouted. "What did you do to my sack? Those are my pigeons! I catch them for money!" + +Lila and Tom were scared of the man. They did not know he was bad. They thought he was the owner of the pigeons. + +"We are sorry, mister!" Lila said. "We did not know they were yours. We wanted to help them." + +"Help them? You let them go!" the man said. "They are worth a lot of money! You owe me!" + +He ran after Lila and Tom with his net. He wanted to catch them and make them pay. But Lila and Tom were faster. They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. They told them what happened. + +"Mom, dad, help us!" Lila and Tom said. "There is a bad man who wants to catch us! He has a sack and a net and pigeons!" + +Mom and dad looked at the man. They saw he was mean and greedy. They did not like him. They stood up and faced him. + +"Leave our kids alone!" mom said. "They did nothing wrong. You are the one who is wrong. You should not catch pigeons. They are free and beautiful. They belong to the sky, not to your sack!" + +"Yeah, what she said!" dad said. "And if you don't go away, we will call the police. They will take you and your sack and your net and put you in jail!" + +The man was afraid of mom and dad. He was afraid of the police. He did not want to go to jail.

I don't need to speak." + +Mom was not happy. She said, "Ben, novels are good, but you need to speak too. Speaking is important. You need to express yourself and listen to others. You need to make friends and share your feelings. You can't just read novels all the time." + +Ben was not happy. He said, "Mom, you don't understand. Novels are my friends. They make me happy and smart. I don't like to speak. Speaking is hard and boring. I don't care about other people's feelings. I just want to read novels." + +Mom and Ben had a big fight. They both cried and yelled. They did not understand each other. They were both sad and angry. They did not speak for a long time. +Lily loved to whistle. She whistled all the time, when she played, when she ate, when she brushed her teeth. She whistled so much that her mom and dad sometimes asked her to be quiet. But Lily did not mind. She liked to make music with her mouth. + +One day, Lily was whistling in her room, when she heard a knock on the window. She looked and saw a big white bird with shiny wings. It was an angel!

It was longer and thinner and had a shiny tip. She wondered what it was for. She picked it up and looked at it. She saw some letters on it. She could not read them, but she knew they were letters. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is this?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "That is a special pencil, Anna. It is called a needle. It is for sewing. You can use it to make clothes or toys or decorations. But you have to be very careful with it, because it is sharp and it can hurt you if you poke yourself." + +Anna was curious. She wanted to see how the needle worked. She asked her mom, "Can you show me how to sew, mom?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "Sure, Anna. I can show you how to sew. But you have to promise me to listen to me and follow my instructions. And you have to be very careful with the needle, okay?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I promise. I want to learn how to sew." + +Her mom took a piece of cloth and a thread and showed Anna how to thread the needle and make stitches. Anna watched and listened and tried to do the same. She was careful not to poke herself or the cloth. She was happy to learn something new. She wondered what she could sew with her needle and thread. Maybe she could make a flower or a star or a cat or a house. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I like sewing. It is fun." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house. The house is bad. It has no door, no window, no roof. It is dirty and dark. + +"Who lives in the bad house?"

It will be fun," her robot said. + +Lily trusted her robot. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She looked down and felt nervous. + +"Robot, are you sure?" she said. + +"Yes, Lily. I am sure. I am honest. I will catch you at the bottom. Don't worry," her robot said. + +Lily smiled and let go. She slid down the slide and felt the wind in her hair. She laughed and screamed.

And if you need help, ask me or a friend. OK?" + +Anna nodded and said: + +"OK, teacher. I will do that. Can I have a band-aid for my finger?" + +The teacher said: + +"Of course, Anna. Here you go. A band-aid with a star. You are a star, Anna. A tall and smart star who can cut paper very well." + +Anna put the band-aid on her finger and thanked the teacher. She felt happy and proud.

She knew they were curious and imaginative. She also knew they were regular kids who liked to play. + +"You can't lift the rainbow, kids," Mom said. "The rainbow is not a thing. It is a light. It is made by the sun and the rain. It is a gift from nature. You can only look at it and enjoy it." + +Tom and Sue looked at Mom. They looked at the rainbow. They understood. + +They put down the stick. They hugged Mom. They thanked her for telling them about the rainbow. + +They still liked the rainbow. They still liked to play outside. They still liked to be friends. They were happy. +One day, a boy named Ben wanted to play outside. He put on his coat, hat, and boots. He saw that the snow was icy and shiny. He thought it would be fun to slide on it. + +He ran to his neighbor's house. His neighbor was a girl named Lily. She was also his friend. He knocked on her door. He wanted to ask her to play with him. + +But Lily did not open the door. She was sick. She had a cold. She was in bed. She felt sad and bored. She heard Ben knock, but she could not get up. + +Ben did not know that Lily was sick. He thought she did not want to play with him. He felt angry and hurt. He decided to surprise her. He took some snow and made a big snowball. He threw it at her window. He wanted to make her come out. + +But the snowball was too hard and icy. It broke the window. It made a loud noise. It scared Lily. She cried. She felt more sad and cold. + +Ben heard her cry. He realized what he had done. He felt sorry and ashamed. He ran to her window. He saw the broken glass and the snow. He saw Lily in bed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not know you were sick. I wanted to play with you. I wanted to surprise you. But I did a bad thing. Please forgive me." + +Lily looked at him. She saw that he was sorry. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. I know you did not mean to hurt me. I wanted to play with you too. But I have a cold. I need to rest. Maybe we can play another day." + +Ben nodded. He said, "I hope you get well soon, Lily. I will bring you some soup and a book. Maybe that will make you feel better." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I like surprises, but not icy ones." + +Ben smiled too. He said, "You're welcome, Lily. I like surprises too, but not mean ones. I learned a lesson today. I should not throw things at people. I should be kind and gentle." + +They both learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful with their actions. They learned to respect each other's feelings. They learned to be good friends. They learned to surprise each other with love, not with ice. +Lily and Ben are twins. They are three years old. They like to play with their toys and books. They also like to learn new words. + +Today is a special day. It is their birthday. They are very happy. They have a cake with candles. They have balloons and hats. They have presents from their mom and dad and their friends. + +Mom and dad help them blow the candles. They make a wish. They wish to learn more words. They cut the cake and share it with everyone. They say thank you for the presents. They open them and see what they are. + +Lily gets a doll. She likes dolls. She hugs it and gives it a name. She calls it Anna. Ben gets a truck. He likes trucks. He pushes it and makes noises. He calls it Bob. + +They also get a book. It is a big book. It is heavy. They need both hands to hold it. It is a book of spells. It has pictures and words. They are curious. They want to know what the spells do. + +They ask mom and dad to read the book to them. Mom and dad smile. They say they will read it later. They say it is a special book. They say they need to be careful with the spells. They say some spells are good and some spells are bad. + +Lily and Ben nod. They are good twins. They listen to mom and dad. They put the book on the shelf. They play with their doll and truck. They celebrate their birthday. They are very happy. +Lily liked to draw. She drew many things with her crayons. She drew flowers, animals, stars, and houses. She liked to use many colors and make her drawings original. + +One day, her teacher said there was a drawing contest. The best drawing would get a prize. A judge would look at all the drawings and choose the winner. Lily wanted to join the contest. She thought she could make a very good drawing. + +She took her crayons and a big paper. She started to draw a big rainbow. She used all the colors she had. She also drew a sun, a cloud, and a bird. She was very happy with her drawing. She wrote her name on it and gave it to her teacher. + +The next day, the teacher showed all the drawings to the class. There were many drawings. Some were good, some were not. The judge came and looked at all the drawings. He smiled and nodded. He said he liked all the drawings, but he had to choose one. + +He pointed at Lily's drawing. He said it was the best. He said it was very original and colorful. He gave Lily a prize. It was a big box of crayons. Lily was very happy. She thanked the judge and the teacher. She said she would use her new crayons to make more original drawings. The other children clapped and cheered for Lily. Lily smiled and shared her crayons with them. They all drew together. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a red ball and a blue ball. They throw the balls and catch them. They laugh and shout. + +One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up the hill. They think it is fun. They say, "Let's race to the top of the hill. Who is faster?" + +They put the balls on the ground. They say, "Ready, set, go!" They run up the hill. They use their legs and arms. They breathe hard. They look at each other. They smile. + +Tom is a little bit faster than Lily. He reaches the top of the hill first. He says, "I win! I win!" He jumps and claps. He is happy. + +Lily is a little bit slower than Tom. She reaches the top of the hill second. She says, "You win! You win!" She hugs and kisses him. She is happy too. + +They look at the park. They see the trees and the flowers and the birds. They see the sun and the sky and the clouds. They see the balls on the ground. They say, "Wow! It is so beautiful. It is perfect." + +They sit on the hill. They hold hands. They are quiet. They hear nothing. They feel the silence. They like the silence. They close their eyes. They rest. +Lisa and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big hose and a bucket of water. They like to spray each other and laugh. + +"Spray me, spray me!" Lisa shouts to Ben. + +"OK, OK!" Ben says and turns the hose on Lisa. She squeals and runs away. + +They see a pile of potatoes in the corner. They are from the farm. They are brown and dirty. + +"Look, potatoes!" Lisa says. + +"Let's wash them!" Ben says. + +They take some potatoes and put them in the bucket. They spray them with the hose. The water makes the potatoes clean and shiny. + +"Wow, they are so attractive!" Lisa says. + +"They are!" Ben agrees. + +They decide to make a potato family. They use sticks and stones and leaves to make eyes, noses, mouths and hair. They put the potatoes on the grass and admire their work. + +"Hello, potato family!" Lisa says. + +"Hello, Lisa and Ben!" Ben says in a funny voice. + +They giggle and hug each other. They are happy. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a box of cards with pictures of animals on them. Ben had a puzzle with shapes and colors. They wanted to match their cards and puzzle pieces, but they had different ideas. + +"Look, this card has a dog and this puzzle piece has a bone. They match!" Sara said, holding them up. + +"No, they don't. The dog is brown and the bone is white. They have to be the same color to match." Ben said, shaking his head. + +"Yes, they do. The dog likes the bone. They are friends. They match!" Sara insisted, putting them together. + +"No, they don't. The bone is a circle and the dog is a square. They have to be the same shape to match." Ben argued, pulling them apart. + +They started to get angry and yell at each other. They did not want to share their toys or listen to each other. They wanted to be right. + +Mom heard them from upstairs. She came down and saw them fighting. She was not happy. + +"Stop it, Sara and Ben. You are not being nice to each other. You are not playing well. You have to be humble and respect each other's opinions. Matching is not only about color and shape. It is also about meaning and fun. You can match things in different ways. There is no one right answer." Mom said, sitting down with them. + +She took some cards and puzzle pieces and showed them how they could match them in different ways. She matched a card with a cat and a puzzle piece with a fish. She matched a card with a bird and a puzzle piece with a feather. She matched a card with a flower and a puzzle piece with a bee. + +"See, these things match because they have something to do with each other. They are not the same color or shape, but they are related. They make sense. They are interesting. They are fun." Mom said, smiling. + +Sara and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for being mean. They realized that Mom was right. They could match things in different ways. They could learn from each other. They could have fun together. + +They hugged Mom and said sorry. They hugged each other and said sorry. They decided to play together and match their cards and puzzle pieces in different ways. They were humble and happy. They were friends. They matched. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with many sheep on it. They wanted to go and see the sheep, so they ran to the hill. + +"Look, Lily, there are so many sheep!" Tom said. "They are white and fluffy and jolly. Can we touch them?" + +"Maybe, Tom, but we have to be careful. They might be scared of us or bite us." Lily said. "And we have to watch out for the farmer. He might be angry if we bother his sheep." + +They climbed the hill and got closer to the sheep. The sheep looked at them with big eyes and made noises. Some of them ran away, but some of them stayed still. Tom and Lily reached out their hands to touch the sheep. + +"Hello, sheep, we are Tom and Lily. We want to be your friends." Tom said. + +"Hello, sheep, you are so soft and warm. We like you." Lily said. + +But the sheep did not like Tom and Lily. They did not want to be touched by strangers. They felt scared and angry. They started to baa louder and louder. They kicked and pushed Tom and Lily with their hoofs. They bit their fingers and hair. They made Tom and Lily cry and bleed. + +"Ow, ow, ow, sheep, stop, stop, stop!" Tom said. + +"Ow, ow, ow, sheep, go away, go away, go away!" Lily said. + +But the sheep did not stop. They chased Tom and Lily down the hill. They wanted to make them go away and never come back. Tom and Lily ran as fast as they could, but they were too slow. The sheep caught them and hurt them more. + +"Help, help, help, someone, help us!" Tom and Lily shouted. + +But no one heard them. No one came to help them. The farmer was too far away. The sheep were too many and too strong. Tom and Lily fell to the ground and stopped moving. The sheep stopped too. They looked at Tom and Lily and baaed. They did not feel jolly anymore. They felt sorry and sad. They had discovered that Tom and Lily were not bad. They were just children who wanted to play. But it was too late. Tom and Lily were gone. +Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they found a big bottle of glue in the art room. They wanted to make something with it. + +"Let's glue these papers together and make a big book," Tom said. + +"OK, that sounds fun," Mia said. + +They took some papers and started to glue them. But they used too much glue. The glue was sticky and messy. It got on their hands and clothes. It also got on the table and the floor. + +"Oh no, we made a big mess," Tom said. + +"Teacher will be angry," Mia said. + +They tried to clean the glue, but it was too hard. They heard the teacher coming. They were scared. They hid under the table. + +The teacher came in and saw the glue everywhere. She was not happy. She looked for Tom and Mia. + +"Where are you, Tom and Mia?" she asked. + +Tom and Mia did not answer. They hoped the teacher would not find them. But the teacher saw their feet under the table. + +"Tom and Mia, come out now," she said. + +Tom and Mia came out. They looked at the teacher. They felt sorry. + +"Tom and Mia, what did you do?" the teacher asked. + +"We wanted to make a big book, but we used too much glue," Tom said. + +"We are sorry, teacher," Mia said. + +The teacher sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was sad. + +"Tom and Mia, glue is not for playing. It is for making things stick. You wasted the glue and made a big mess. You have to clean it up and say sorry to the art room," she said. + +Tom and Mia nodded. They knew they did something bad. They started to cry. + +"Please don't cry, Tom and Mia," the teacher said. "I know you did not mean to do it. But you have to learn from your mistake. Next time, be careful with the glue and ask for help if you need it." + +The teacher gave them some cloths and water. She helped them clean the glue. She also gave them a hug and a smile. + +"Thank you, teacher," Tom and Mia said. + +"You're welcome, Tom and Mia," the teacher said. "Now, let's go back to the classroom and read a real big book together." + +Tom and Mia smiled. They were happy again. They learned their lesson. They never played with glue again. +Tommy was playing with his toy car when he heard a loud bang. He ran to the window and saw a big truck hit his dad's car. His dad was inside the car and he looked hurt. Tommy felt scared and sad. He hoped his dad was okay. + +He ran to his mom and told her what happened. His mom hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Tommy. We will call the doctor and he will help your dad. Your dad is strong and brave. He will be fine." She picked up the phone and dialed a number. + +Soon, an ambulance came with a siren and a light. Two doctors came out and put a stretcher next to the car. They opened the door and took out Tommy's dad. He had a bandage on his head and a cast on his arm. He looked at Tommy and smiled. He said, "Hey, buddy. I'm sorry I scared you. I'm going to the hospital, but I'll be back soon. I love you." + +Tommy ran to his dad and hugged him. He said, "I love you too, dad. I hope you get better soon. Your car is broken, but you are not." He gave him a kiss and let go. + +The doctors put Tommy's dad on the stretcher and into the ambulance. They waved at Tommy and his mom and drove away. Tommy and his mom watched them go. They held hands and prayed. They hoped the doctors would fix Tommy's dad and make him well again. +Sara was miserable. She did not like the new house. It was big and dark and cold. She missed her old house, where she had a pink room and a swing in the garden. She wanted to go back, but Mom and Dad said they had to stay here. + +One night, Sara heard a strange noise. It came from the door at the end of the hall. She was scared, but also curious. She got out of bed and walked to the door. She put her ear to the wood and listened. She heard a soft whimper, like a puppy. + +Sara opened the door and saw a small dog in a cage. He was dirty and sad. He looked at Sara with big brown eyes and wagged his tail. Sara felt sorry for him. She opened the cage and let him out. He licked her face and snuggled in her arms. + +"Who are you?" Sara asked the dog. "Why are you here?" + +The dog barked and wagged his tail. He did not answer, but he seemed happy to see Sara. + +Sara heard footsteps. She turned and saw Mom and Dad in the hall. They looked surprised and angry. + +"Sara, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "Where did you get that dog?" + +Sara hugged the dog and said, "He was in the door. He was miserable. Can I keep him? Please?" + +Mom and Dad looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They did not know who owned the dog or why he was in the door. They did not want to make Sara more miserable, but they did not want to keep a dog they did not know. + +They decided to question the landlord in the morning and find out the truth. They hoped he would let Sara keep the dog, or at least find him a good home. They saw that Sara and the dog liked each other very much. They smiled and said, "OK, Sara, you can keep him for tonight. But we have to talk to the landlord tomorrow. Come on, let's go back to bed." + +Sara was happy. She took the dog to her room and cuddled with him. She gave him a name. She called him Spot. She felt less miserable. She felt like she had a friend. She fell asleep with a smile on her face. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy fish and boat in the bathtub. They liked to pretend they were fishing in the sea. Ben had a hook on a string that he used to catch the fish. Lily had a net that she used to scoop them up. + +"Look, I got a big one!" Ben said, as he pulled a yellow fish with his hook. He showed it to Lily with a proud smile. + +"Wow, that's great!" Lily said. She wanted to catch a big fish too. She saw a blue fish swimming near the faucet. She moved her net closer to it. + +"Be careful, Lily," Ben said. "That fish is near the hot water. It might burn you." + +Lily did not listen to Ben. She wanted the blue fish. She urged her net forward and tried to catch it. But she was too fast and touched the faucet. It was very hot. She screamed and dropped her net. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She held her hand and tears ran down her face. + +Ben quickly turned off the faucet and took Lily out of the bathtub. He wrapped her hand in a towel and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "Are you okay?" + +Lily nodded, but she still felt pain. She wished she had listened to Ben. He was a good brother. He knew how to fish and how to be safe. + +"Next time, I will listen to you, Ben," Lily said. "You are a good fisher. And a good brother." + +Ben smiled and kissed her cheek. He was proud of Lily. She was a brave sister. And a good fisher too. +Sara and Ben like to play with cardboard boxes. They make them into cars, houses, rockets and more. They use crayons and stickers to decorate them. They have a lot of fun with their cardboard toys. + +One day, they find a big cardboard box in the garage. It is bigger than any box they have seen before. They want to make it into something brilliant. Sara says, "Let's make it into a castle!" Ben says, "No, let's make it into a boat!" They both want to use the box for their own idea. + +They start to argue and pull the box. They do not want to yield. They do not want to share. They do not want to listen. They make a lot of noise and mess. They rip the box and tear the stickers. They make each other sad and angry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the garage. She sees the broken box and the unhappy children. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? You have to yield and share. You have to listen and cooperate. You have to be kind and respectful. That is how you make brilliant things." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were selfish and rude. We want to make up and play nicely." Mom says, "That is good. I am glad you are sorry. I have an idea. Why don't you use the cardboard pieces to make something new together? Something that you both like and agree on." + +Sara and Ben think that is a good idea. They look at the cardboard pieces and think of what they can make. They say, "Let's make a train!" They both like trains. They use the crayons and stickers to make the train colorful and shiny. They use the box as the engine and the pieces as the cars. They make a brilliant train. + +They are happy and proud of their train. They thank Mom for her help. They play with their train and take turns to be the driver and the passenger. They have a lot of fun with their cardboard toy. They yield and share. They listen and cooperate. They are kind and respectful. That is how they make brilliant things. +Lily likes to dream. She dreams of many things. She dreams of big animals, like lions and elephants. She dreams of flying in the sky, like birds and planes. She dreams of colorful flowers, like roses and sunflowers. + +One night, Lily has a bad dream. She dreams of a scary monster. The monster is big and hairy. It has sharp teeth and claws. It growls and roars. It chases Lily in the dark. Lily is very afraid. She runs and runs, but the monster is faster. + +Lily sees a door. She hopes it is a way out. She runs to the door and opens it. But the door leads to a room full of snakes. The snakes are long and slimy. They hiss and bite. They wrap around Lily's legs and arms. Lily screams and cries. She tries to shake them off, but they are too strong. + +Lily feels a hand on her shoulder. She thinks it is her mom or dad. She turns her head and hopes to see a friendly face. But the hand belongs to the monster. The monster smiles and says, "I found you, Lily. You are my dinner." Lily closes her eyes and wishes to wake up. But she does not wake up. The monster eats her up. The end. +Lily was very tired. She had played a lot with her toys and her friends. She wanted to sleep, but her mom said she had to go to a meeting. Lily did not like meetings. They were boring and long. + +"Mom, why do we have to go to the meeting?" Lily asked. + +"Because it is important, sweetie. We have to talk to some people who are different from us. They come from another place and they have different clothes and words. We have to be nice and learn from them." Mom said. + +Lily was curious. She wanted to see the different people. Maybe they had fun toys or stories. She got in the car with her mom and they drove to the meeting place. + +When they got there, Lily saw many people. Some of them looked like her mom and some of them looked different. They had different colors of skin and hair and eyes. They wore different clothes and hats and shoes. They spoke different words and sounds. Lily thought they were interesting. + +But the meeting was not interesting. The people sat in a big room and talked and talked and talked. Lily did not understand what they were saying. She felt bored and sleepy. She tried to play with her mom's phone, but her mom took it away. She tried to draw on a paper, but her mom said it was rude. She tried to make faces at the different people, but her mom said it was not nice. + +Lily could not find anything to do. She started to yawn. She yawned once, twice, three times. She rubbed her eyes and leaned on her mom's shoulder. She wanted to go home and sleep. + +"Mom, can we go now?" Lily whispered. + +"Not yet, honey. The meeting is almost over. Just a few more minutes." Mom whispered back. + +Lily sighed. She hoped the meeting would end soon. She closed her eyes and dreamed of her toys and her friends. She did not care about the different people anymore. She just wanted to sleep. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the yard. The yard has a fence. The fence is wide and brown. The fence keeps them safe from the road. + +One day, Tom and Jen see a ball on the other side of the fence. The ball is red and shiny. They want the ball. They think the ball is fun. + +"Let's get the ball," Tom says. + +"But we can't go over the fence," Jen says. "Mom and Dad say no." + +"We can go under the fence," Tom says. "There is a hole. It is small, but we can fit." + +Jen is scared. She does not want to go under the fence. She does not want to leave the yard. She does not want to go near the road. + +"Come on, Jen," Tom says. "It will be quick. We just need the ball." + +Tom crawls under the fence. He reaches for the ball. Jen watches him. She hears a loud noise. She sees a big car. The car is fast and black. The car hits Tom. Tom does not move. Jen screams. She cries. She runs to Tom. She can't help him. He is gone. The ball rolls away. The end. +Lily and Max went to the museum with Mom and Dad. They saw many things, like big bones, shiny rocks, and old paintings. Lily liked the bones best. She wanted to touch them and learn more. Max liked the rocks best. He wanted to take them home and play with them. + +"Can I have this rock, please?" Max asked Dad. + +"No, Max, you can't. These rocks belong to the museum. They are not for sale or for taking. They are for looking and learning," Dad said. + +"But I want it! It's so pretty and sparkly!" Max whined. He was a spoiled boy. He always wanted everything he saw. + +"Stop whining, Max. You have enough toys at home. You should be happy to see these rocks, not greedy," Mom said. + +Max was not happy. He was angry and sad. He saw a big rock that looked like a star. He wanted it more than anything. He waited until Mom and Dad were looking at something else. Then he ran to the rock and tried to grab it. But the rock was too heavy and too high. Max had to lean on a rope to reach it. The rope was not strong. It broke. Max fell down. The rock fell down too. It made a loud noise. It broke a glass case. It smashed a painting. Everyone in the museum heard the noise. They turned to look. They saw Max and the rock and the mess. + +"Max! What have you done?" Mom and Dad shouted. They ran to Max. They were very angry and scared. + +Lily saw what happened too. She was shocked and sad. She liked the painting that was smashed. She thought it was beautiful and colorful. She wished Max had not been so spoiled and silly. She wished he had listened to Mom and Dad. She wished he had been more like her. She went to Max and the rock and the mess. She tried to help. + +"I'm sorry, Max. I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I'm sorry, museum," she said. She was a good girl. She always said sorry when she did something wrong. She always tried to make things better. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with many fish. They want to catch a fish. + +"Look, Lily, a fish!" Tom says. He points to a shiny fish with a long tail. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can we catch it, Tom?" Lily asks. She hopes they can catch the fish. She wants to touch its scale. + +"Maybe we can, Lily. Let's try!" Tom says. He finds a stick and a string. He ties the string to the stick. He looks for a worm. + +Lily helps Tom. She finds a worm under a rock. She gives it to Tom. Tom puts the worm on the string. He throws the stick in the pond. + +"Wait, Tom, wait!" Lily says. She holds Tom's hand. They watch the stick. + +Suddenly, the stick moves. Tom and Lily feel a tug. They pull the stick. They see a big fish on the string. It is not the shiny fish. It is a wild fish. It has sharp teeth and spiky fins. It splashes and jumps. + +"Wow, Tom, wow!" Lily says. She is scared and excited. She hopes the fish does not bite them. + +"Wow, Lily, wow!" Tom says. He is scared and excited. He hopes they can keep the fish. + +But the fish is too strong. It breaks the string. It swims away. Tom and Lily are sad. They lose the fish. + +"Bye, fish, bye!" Tom says. He waves to the fish. + +"Bye, fish, bye!" Lily says. She waves to the fish. + +They hug each other. They are still happy. They have fun. They hope to catch another fish someday. +Tim and Lily liked to play with color. They had many crayons and papers to make pictures. They also had a big box of blocks to build towers and houses. They were happy and shared their toys. + +One day, a new boy came to play with them. His name was Max. He did not like to share. He wanted all the toys for himself. He grabbed the crayons and papers from Tim and Lily. He said, "These are mine now. You can't have them." + +Tim and Lily were sad and angry. They said, "No, Max. That is not nice. You have to share. These are our toys. We can play together." + +But Max did not listen. He laughed and said, "No, I don't. I can do what I want. Watch this." He took a red crayon and scribbled on Lily's picture. He said, "Now your picture is ugly. Ha ha ha." + +Lily cried and said, "No, Max. You are mean. You destroyed my picture. It was important to me. I worked hard on it." + +Tim was mad. He said, "Stop it, Max. You can't do that. You have to be kind. You have to say sorry." + +But Max did not stop. He took a blue crayon and broke it in half. He said, "Now you have less crayons. Ha ha ha." + +Tim and Lily had enough. They said, "Go away, Max. You are not our friend. You are a bully. You can't play with us." + +They took their toys and went to another room. They left Max alone with his broken crayons and papers. He was not happy. He was bored and lonely. He wished he had been nice to Tim and Lily. He wished he had shared and played with them. He learned a lesson. He said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I won't destroy things anymore. I will be kind. Can I play with you?" +Ben and Lily were playing in the bathroom. They liked to make bubbles with the soap and water. They used their hands, cups, and toys to blow and pop the bubbles. They laughed and splashed each other. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big bubble!" Ben said, holding a cup with a soap bubble on top. + +"Wow, Ben, that's a big bubble!" Lily said, reaching for the cup. + +But Ben moved the cup away and the bubble popped. Some soap and water fell on Lily's head and face. She felt wet and sticky. + +"Hey, Ben, that's not nice!" Lily said, rubbing her eyes. + +"Sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to pop the bubble on you," Ben said, feeling sorry. + +He gave Lily a towel to dry her face. Then he saw that the bathroom was very messy. There was soap and water everywhere. The floor, the sink, the mirror, and the walls were covered with bubbles and drops. + +"Oh no, Lily, look at the mess we made!" Ben said, worried. + +"We have to clean it up, Ben, or Mommy will be mad," Lily said, scared. + +They tried to wipe the soap and water with the towel, but it was too small and wet. They needed more towels and a mop. + +They heard Mommy coming up the stairs. They hoped she would not see the bathroom. + +"Ben, Lily, what are you doing in there?" Mommy asked, knocking on the door. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not know what to reply. +Anna loved to play in the garden with her dog, Spot. She liked to look at the flowers, the bugs and the birds. One day, she saw something shiny behind a big bush. She ran to see what it was. + +She found a vase. It was blue and green and had pictures of animals on it. It was very pretty. Anna picked it up and looked inside. There was nothing in it. She wondered who left it there and why. + +She decided to show it to her mom. She ran back to the house with the vase in her hands. Spot followed her, barking. Anna was very excited. She thought her mom would like the vase too. + +She reached the door and opened it. She saw her mom in the kitchen, making cookies. She smiled and said, "Mom, look what I found in the garden! It's a vase! It's incredible!" + +Her mom turned around and saw the vase. She gasped and dropped the spoon. She ran to Anna and hugged her. She said, "Anna, do you know what this is? This is a very old and valuable vase. It belongs to our family. It was lost for a long time. You discovered it! You are amazing!" + +Anna was happy. She did not understand what her mom meant, but she knew she did something good. She hugged her mom back and said, "I love you, mom. And I love the vase. Can we keep it?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "Of course we can, sweetie. It's ours. And you are the best finder ever. Now, let's have some cookies and celebrate your discovery." +Mia liked to play with her toys, but she did not like to tidy them up. She had many toys, but her favorite was a soft penguin. She called him Pingo. She always took Pingo with her to bed, to the park, and to school. + +One day, Mia and Pingo went to the zoo with her mom and dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. Mia was very happy, and so was Pingo. He liked to see other animals like him. But he was also very tired, because he had to walk a lot. + +When they came to the penguin house, Mia saw a big sign that said "Do not feed the penguins". She wondered why. She thought the penguins must be hungry. She had a sandwich in her backpack. She decided to share it with Pingo and the penguins. She took out the sandwich and broke it into pieces. She gave some to Pingo, and threw some to the penguins. + +The penguins were very curious. They came closer to Mia and Pingo. They liked the sandwich. They wanted more. They started to make loud noises and flap their wings. They surrounded Mia and Pingo. Mia was scared. She hugged Pingo and cried. + +"Mia, what are you doing?" her mom asked. She saw Mia and Pingo in the middle of the penguins. She ran to them and picked them up. She scolded Mia for feeding the penguins. She explained that the penguins had their own food, and that human food could make them sick. She also said that the penguins could bite or scratch Mia and Pingo. + +Mia felt sorry. She did not mean to hurt the penguins or Pingo. She said sorry to her mom, to Pingo, and to the penguins. She learned her lesson. She promised to never feed the animals at the zoo again. + +That night, Mia and Pingo went to bed. They were very tired. They cuddled and said good night. They had a big adventure, but they also had a big scare. They needed to rest. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of penguins. But this time, the penguins were friendly and happy. And so were Mia and Pingo. +There was a big nation with many people. They had a lot of things, like food, toys, and cars. But they were not happy. They always wanted more things. They wanted things from other nations. They did not share or help. + +One day, they saw a small nation with a shiny thing. They wanted the shiny thing. They said, "We are ready to take it. It is ours." They got their guns and planes and tanks. They went to the small nation. + +But the small nation was not afraid. They had a secret. The shiny thing was not a thing. It was a trap. It was a big bomb. They made it to stop the big nation from taking their things. They said, "We are ready to use it. It is our last hope." + +When the big nation came near, the small nation pushed a button. The shiny thing exploded. It made a loud noise and a bright light. It hurt many people and broke many things. It made a big hole in the ground. The big nation was sorry. They said, "We were wrong to want the shiny thing. We should have been happy with what we had. We should have been kind and fair." + +The small nation was sad. They said, "We were right to protect our things. But we did not want to hurt anyone. We should have tried to talk and make peace. We should have been brave and wise." + +The two nations learned a lesson. They learned that wanting too much can lead to trouble. They learned that being ready to fight can lead to pain. They learned that being happy, kind, fair, brave, and wise can lead to peace. They decided to be friends and share and help. They decided to be a good nation. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they go to a party. The party is for Tom's cousin, Lily. Lily is four years old. She has a nice cake and many toys. + +Tom and Sam wear nice suits to the party. They want to look good for Lily. But they also want to play with the toys. They see a big train set and a doll house. They run to the toys and start to play. + +"Be careful with your suits," Tom's mom says. "They are new and clean. Don't make them dirty or tear them." + +Tom and Sam nod. But they forget to be careful. They play too rough with the toys. They spill juice on their suits. They rip their suits on the train tracks. They make their suits dirty and messy. + +"Look at your suits!" Lily says. "They are not nice anymore. They are ugly and bad. You are not nice friends. You are rude and mean. Go away from my party!" + +Tom and Sam feel sad and ashamed. They say sorry to Lily and to Tom's mom. They remove their suits and put on their old clothes. They learn a lesson. They learn that they should respect their clothes and other people's toys. They learn that being nice is more than wearing nice suits. +Sara and Ben were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, it was raining. Sara had a big umbrella. Ben had a small umbrella. + +"Can I share your umbrella?" Ben asked Sara. "Mine is too small. I am wet." + +Sara did not want to share. She liked her big umbrella. She did not like Ben's small umbrella. She said, "No, you can't. Go away." + +Ben was sad. He walked away. He looked for a place to hide from the rain. He saw a big tree. He ran to the tree. He thought the tree would keep him dry. + +But the tree was not a good place. The tree had a hole. A big bee lived in the hole. The bee did not like Ben. The bee saw Ben's small umbrella. The bee thought Ben wanted to take its home. The bee was angry. + +The bee flew out of the hole. It buzzed loud. It stung Ben on the nose. Ben cried. He dropped his small umbrella. He ran back to Sara. + +"Sara, Sara, help me!" Ben shouted. "A bee stung me. It hurts. Please share your umbrella." + +But Sara did not help. She did not care. She laughed at Ben. She said, "That's what you get for having a small umbrella. Go away." + +Ben was hurt. He was wet. He was alone. He wished he had a better friend. He wished he had a bigger umbrella. He wished the rain would stop. +Lila and Ben are playing with blocks. They make a big tower with many colors. They are happy and proud of their tower. + +"Look, Mommy, look!" Lila says. "We made a tower!" + +Mommy smiles and claps. "Wow, that's a great tower! You are very clever!" + +But then, a loud noise comes from outside. It is a big truck. It makes the ground shake. The tower falls down. The blocks go everywhere. Lila and Ben are sad and scared. + +"Oh no, our tower!" Ben cries. "It is gone!" + +Mommy hugs them and says, "It's okay, my loves. It was just a truck. It will go away soon. We can make another tower later." + +Lila and Ben nod. They wipe their tears. They are alert. They listen to the truck. It goes away. The noise ends. + +"Can we play with something else?" Lila asks. + +"Sure, what do you want to play with?" Mommy asks. + +Lila and Ben look around. They see many toys. They see dolls, cars, books, puzzles. They have many choices. + +"I want to play with dolls," Lila says. + +"I want to play with cars," Ben says. + +"Okay, you can play with what you like," Mommy says. "But share and be nice, okay?" + +Lila and Ben say, "Okay!" + +They pick their toys. They play together. They have fun. They forget about the tower. They are happy again. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They saw a big tree with red apples. They wanted to pick some apples and eat them. + +"Let's get a ladder and climb the tree," Ben said. + +"OK, I will get the ladder from the shed," Lily said. + +She ran to the shed and found the ladder. She dragged it to the tree. It was heavy and hard. She put it against the tree and climbed up. She reached for an apple. + +"Hey, that's not fair! You got the ladder first!" Ben shouted. He was angry and sad. He wanted an apple too. + +"Sorry, Ben. Here, you can have this one," Lily said. She threw an apple to Ben. But she threw it too hard. It hit Ben on the head. It hurt. + +"Ow! That was harsh, Lily! You hurt me!" Ben cried. He threw the apple back at Lily. But he missed. The apple hit the ladder. The ladder shook and fell. Lily fell too. + +"Help! Help!" Lily screamed. She was scared and hurt. + +Ben heard Lily scream. He forgot his anger and pain. He ran to Lily and helped her up. He hugged her and said he was sorry. + +"I'm sorry too, Lily. Are you OK?" Ben asked. + +"I'm OK, Ben. Just a little sore. Thank you for helping me," Lily said. + +They hugged again and said they were sorry. They decided to share the apples and be nice to each other. They learned that being harsh is not good. Being kind is better. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big yellow taxi. It is parked near a tree. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see the taxi. + +"Let's go and look at the taxi," Lily says. + +"OK, but be careful," Ben says. + +They run to the taxi. They peek inside. They see a bag on the seat. It is full of shiny things. Lily and Ben think they are toys. They want to play with them. + +"Wow, look at these!" Lily says. She opens the door and grabs the bag. + +"Wait, Lily, we don't know whose they are," Ben says. + +But Lily does not listen. She opens the bag and takes out a necklace. It is gold and has a big red stone. Lily puts it on her neck. She feels happy. + +"Look, Ben, I'm a princess!" Lily says. + +But then they hear a loud voice. It is the taxi driver. He is angry. He sees Lily and Ben with his bag. He runs to them. He yells at them. + +"Hey, you little thieves! Give me back my bag! That's not yours! That's mine!" + +He grabs the bag from Lily. He pulls the necklace from her neck. He pushes Lily and Ben away. He gets in the taxi and drives away. + +Lily and Ben are scared and sad. They cry. They have no toys. They have no necklace. They have no taxi. They have a big problem. They are in trouble. +Today is Sam's birthday. He is very happy. He has a big cake with four candles. He has many presents from his family and friends. He has a new ball, a new book, a new hat and a new toy car. + +Sam's best friend is Max. Max is a dog. He is brown and fluffy. He is very loyal. He always plays with Sam and protects him. He likes to chase the ball and fetch it. He likes to cuddle with Sam and listen to his stories. He likes to share his food and his bed. + +Sam and Max enjoy the birthday party. They play with the other children and the other dogs. They eat some cake and some bones. They sing and dance and laugh. They are very tired at the end of the day. They hug each other and say thank you. They are very happy. They are best friends. +Lily was sleeping in her bed. She had a soft blanket and a teddy bear. She liked to sleep, but she also liked to play. + +She heard a noise. It was her brother Max. He was awake and he wanted to play. He came into her room and said, "Lily, Lily, wake up! Let's play!" + +Lily opened her eyes and saw Max. He had a big smile and a toy car. She said, "No, Max, I want to sleep. Go away!" + +Max did not go away. He said, "Come on, Lily, it's fun. Look, I have a car. You can have a doll. We can make a race on the rug." + +Lily did not want to make a race. She wanted to sleep. She said, "No, Max, I don't want a doll. I don't want a car. I don't want a race. I want to sleep!" + +Max did not listen. He said, "Yes, Lily, you do. You like dolls. You like cars. You like races. You like to play with me!" + +He took her hand and pulled her out of the bed. He dragged her to the rug. He gave her a doll and a car. He said, "Ready, set, go!" + +Lily was not ready. She was not set. She did not go. She dropped the doll and the car. She ran back to the bed. She said, "No, Max, no! I don't want to play. I want to sleep!" + +Max was sad. He said, "But, Lily, why? Playing is fun. Sleeping is boring. Don't you like me?" + +Lily felt sorry for Max. She said, "I do like you, Max. You are my brother. But I am tired. I need to sleep. Maybe we can play later. OK?" + +Max nodded. He said, "OK, Lily. I understand. You can sleep. I will play by myself. But can I have a hug?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, Max. You can have a hug. Come here." + +She gave him a hug. He gave her a kiss. He said, "I love you, Lily. You are my sister." + +She said, "I love you, Max. You are my brother." + +They said, "Good night." + +They went back to their beds. They closed their eyes. They fell asleep. + +The next morning, they woke up. They smelled something delicious. It was pancakes. Mommy was making pancakes for breakfast. They jumped out of their beds. They ran to the kitchen. They said, "Mommy, mommy, we want pancakes!" + +Mommy smiled. She said, "Good morning, Lily and Max. You are awake. You are hungry. You can have pancakes. They are delicious." + +She gave them each a plate of pancakes. They put butter and syrup on them. They ate them with their forks. They said, "Mmm, yummy. Thank you, mommy. These are delicious." + +Mommy said, "You're welcome, Lily and Max. I'm glad you like them. You are good children. I love you." + +They said, "We love you too, mommy." + +They finished their pancakes. They drank their milk. They wiped their mouths. They said, "Can we play now, mommy?" + +Mommy said, "Yes, you can play now, Lily and Max. But first, brush your teeth. And be nice to each other. OK?" + +They said, "OK, mommy. We will brush our teeth. And we will be nice to each other. Right, Lily?" + +Lily said, "Right, Max." + +They smiled. They hugged. They ran to the bathroom. They brushed their teeth. They ran to the living room. They played with their dolls and cars. They made a race on the rug. They had fun. They were happy. The end. +Lily was playing in the garden with her doll. She liked to make her doll sit on the swing and push her gently. She pretended that her doll was talking to her and saying "Whee! This is fun!" + +But then she saw something on the swing. It was a spider. It had eight legs and two big eyes. Lily was scared of spiders. She screamed and dropped her doll. The doll fell off the swing and landed on the grass. + +"Mommy! Mommy! Help!" Lily cried. She ran to the house and looked for her mommy. + +Mommy heard Lily and came out of the kitchen. She saw Lily crying and hugged her. + +"What's wrong, sweetie?" Mommy asked. + +"There's a spider on the swing! It's scary!" Lily said. + +Mommy took Lily's hand and walked to the garden. She looked at the swing and saw the spider. It was a small spider, not a big one. It was not scary, it was harmless. + +"Look, Lily, it's just a little spider. It won't hurt you. It's just looking for a comfortable place to rest. See, it's not moving. It's not interested in you or your doll." Mommy said. + +Lily looked at the spider again. She saw that it was not moving. It was not interested in her or her doll. It was just resting. + +"Are you sure, Mommy?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I'm sure. Spiders are not bad. They help us by eating bugs. They are part of nature. You don't have to be afraid of them." Mommy said. + +Lily nodded. She felt better. She walked to the grass and picked up her doll. She checked if her doll was okay. She was okay. She was not hurt by the fall. + +"Can I play with my doll again, Mommy?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can. But be careful not to disturb the spider. Let it have its comfortable place on the swing." Mommy said. + +Lily smiled. She thanked Mommy and gave her a kiss. She went back to the swing and played with her doll. She did not scream or drop her doll again. She was not scared of the spider anymore. She was happy. +Tom and Lisa are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Rex. One day, Mom says they can help her cook dinner. She gives them each a big apron and a wooden spoon. + +"Today we are making steak and salad," Mom says. "Do you know what steak is?" + +Tom and Lisa nod. They have seen steak before. It is brown and juicy and smells good. Rex likes steak too. He wags his tail and licks his lips. + +Mom puts the steak in a pan and turns on the stove. She tells Tom and Lisa to watch the steak and turn it over when it is brown on one side. She goes to the sink to wash the lettuce. + +Tom and Lisa stand on chairs and look at the steak. They hear it sizzle and pop. They see it change color from red to brown. They smell it and feel hungry. + +"I want to turn the steak," Tom says. He reaches for the spoon. + +"No, I want to turn the steak," Lisa says. She grabs the spoon. + +They pull and tug on the spoon. They forget to be careful. The spoon slips and hits the pan. The pan wobbles and falls off the stove. The steak flies out and lands on the floor. + +Rex sees the steak and runs to it. He sniffs it and bites it. He chews it and swallows it. He wags his tail and licks his lips. + +Tom and Lisa stare at Rex. They are envious. They want the steak. They are sad and angry. + +"Bad dog!" they shout. "That was our steak!" + +Mom hears the noise and comes back. She sees the mess and the empty pan. She sees Rex and the twins. She recognizes what happened. + +She sighs and shakes her head. She is not happy. + +"I'm sorry, kids," she says. "We have no more steak. We have to eat something else. And Rex has to go to his bed. He was naughty." + +Tom and Lisa nod. They are sorry too. They help Mom clean up the floor and the pan. They hope Mom will make steak again soon. And they hope Rex will not eat it. +Sara and Ben are playing with paper and scissors. They like to cut shapes and make pictures. Sara has a lovely folder with many colors of paper. She shares with Ben and lets him choose his favorite. + +"Look, I cut a star!" Ben says, holding up his yellow paper. "It is shiny and bright." + +"That is very nice, Ben," Sara says. "I cut a flower. It is pink and pretty." + +They glue their shapes on a big paper and make a scene. Sara puts her flower in a vase. Ben puts his star in the sky. They are happy with their work. + +"Can we show Mommy?" Ben asks. + +"Of course," Sara says. "She will love it." + +They run to the kitchen, where Mommy is making lunch. They hold up their paper and smile. + +"Mommy, look what we made!" they say together. + +Mommy looks at their paper and hugs them. She is proud of them. + +"What a lovely picture!" she says. "You are very creative and kind. You cut beautiful shapes and shared your folder. I will hang it on the fridge for everyone to see." +Ben and Mia love to play with their toy animals. They have a big elephant, a small lion, a funny monkey and a soft giraffe. They pretend that the animals live in the jungle and have adventures. + +One day, they decide to play rescue. Ben says, "I am the brave lion. I will rescue the elephant from the bad snake." Mia says, "I am the clever monkey. I will help you." They put the elephant on the floor and wrap a rope around it. The rope is the snake. + +They make hissing noises and act like the snake is squeezing the elephant. The elephant cries, "Help, help! The snake is hurting me!" Ben and Mia run to the elephant with their lion and monkey. They try to pull the rope off, but it is too tight. + +They need a plan. Ben thinks hard. He says, "I have an idea. Monkey, you climb on the snake and tickle it. Lion, you roar very loud. Maybe the snake will let go." Mia nods. She makes her monkey climb on the rope and tickle it with its tail. Ben makes his lion roar very loud. + +The snake is surprised. It feels the tickle and hears the roar. It loosens its grip on the elephant. Ben and Mia quickly unwrap the rope and free the elephant. The elephant says, "Thank you, thank you! You saved me!" Ben and Mia hug the elephant. They are happy. + +They put the snake away and play with their other animals. They are ready for more fun. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big tree with a hole in it. They want to look inside the hole. + +"Maybe there is a bird or a mouse in there," Tom says. + +"Or maybe a treasure or a toy," Lily says. + +They go to the tree and peek into the hole. They see something shiny and round. It is a ring! + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He reaches his hand into the hole and grabs the ring. He puts it on his finger. + +Lily looks at the ring. It is weird. It has a red stone and a snake around it. The snake has green eyes and a tongue. + +"Tom, I don't like that ring. It is scary," Lily says. + +Tom feels something move on his finger. He looks at the ring. The snake is alive! It is biting his finger! + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom screams. He tries to pull the ring off, but it is stuck. The snake is squeezing his finger. + +"Help, help, help!" Tom cries. + +Lily runs to get help. She sees a man with a big body and a hat. He is a park ranger. + +"Please, mister, help my friend. He has a weird ring on his finger and it is hurting him," Lily says. + +The park ranger follows Lily to the tree. He sees Tom and the ring. He knows what it is. It is a snake ring. It is very old and dangerous. He has a tool to cut the ring. + +"Don't worry, kid, I'll get that ring off you," the park ranger says. He uses his tool to cut the ring. The snake falls off and slithers away. + +Tom feels better. His finger is red and sore, but it is not bleeding. The park ranger gives him a band-aid and a candy. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Tom says. + +"You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome," the park ranger says. "But don't touch any more rings in the park. They might be weird and bad." + +Tom and Lily nod. They hug each other. They have learned a lesson. They will not look for rings in the park anymore. They will play with their own toys and have fun. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play soccer with other kids. They are on the same team. They wear blue shirts and kick the ball to each other. + +One day, a new kid comes to the park. His name is Ben. He wears a red shirt and has a big ball. He asks Tom and Sam if he can play with them. Tom and Sam say yes. They think Ben is nice. + +But Ben is not nice. He does not share his ball. He does not pass the ball to Tom and Sam. He only wants to score goals by himself. He makes fun of Tom and Sam when they miss the ball. He says they are bad at soccer. + +Tom and Sam are miserable. They do not have fun. They do not want to play with Ben anymore. They ask Ben to stop being mean. They ask him to be a good team player. They ask him to be their friend. + +But Ben does not listen. He does not care. He keeps being mean. He says he does not need friends. He says he is the best at soccer. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They decide to leave. They take their blue shirts and go to another park. They find other kids who want to play with them. They have fun. They are happy. They are a good team. +Jenny was miserable. She did not like the new house. She missed her old friends and her old room. She had nothing to do and no one to play with. She looked at the calendar on the wall. It had many days until her birthday. She wanted to have a big party with cake and balloons and presents. + +She saw a pair of scissors on the table. She had an idea. She took the scissors and went to the calendar. She cut out the days that were not her birthday. She made a pile of paper on the floor. She smiled. Now her birthday was tomorrow. + +"Jenny, what are you doing?" her mom asked. She came into the room and saw the mess. She was angry. She took the scissors from Jenny's hand. "You can't cut the calendar, Jenny. That's not how it works. You have to wait for your birthday like everyone else." + +"But I don't want to wait, mom. I want to have a party now. I'm miserable here. I don't like this house. I don't like anything," Jenny said. She started to cry. + +Her mom hugged her. "I'm sorry, Jenny. I know it's hard to move to a new place. But you'll make new friends soon. And we'll decorate your room the way you like it. And we'll have a wonderful party for your birthday. I promise. But you have to be patient, okay?" + +Jenny nodded. She wiped her tears. She felt a little better. She helped her mom clean up the paper. She looked at the calendar again. It still had many days until her birthday. But she decided to wait. She hoped her mom was right. She hoped she would be happy here. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to pass the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away, but they ran after it and laughed. + +It was a very hot day. The sun was fierce and made them sweat. They drank some water from their bottles, but they still felt the heat. They looked for some shade under a big tree, but there was none. + +"Let's go to the pond," Lily said. "Maybe we can cool down there." + +"Good idea," Tom said. "Maybe we can see some ducks and fish." + +They took their ball and their bottles and walked to the pond. It was not far, but they felt tired. The pond was blue and shiny. They saw some ducks swimming and quacking. They also saw some fish jumping and splashing. + +They sat on the grass near the pond and threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks came closer and ate the bread. They were friendly and cute. Tom and Lily smiled and clapped. + +They felt a little breeze on their faces. It was nice and cool. They passed the ball to each other again, but gently. They did not want to scare the ducks or the fish. + +They had fun at the pond. They forgot about the heat and the sun. They were happy and calm. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big tent with many colors. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They went to the tent and peeked through a hole. They saw many people and animals. They saw a man with a funny hat and a long whip. He was talking to a big lion. + +"Hello, lion. Are you ready to do a trick?" the man said. + +The lion nodded and roared. The man cracked his whip and pointed to a hoop. The lion jumped through the hoop and landed on a stool. The people clapped and cheered. + +Lila and Ben were amazed. They wanted to see more. They crawled under the tent and tried to get closer. But they were clumsy and made a lot of noise. They bumped into a bucket, a chair and a rope. + +The man heard the noise and turned around. He saw Lila and Ben and frowned. He was angry. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing here? This is not a place for kids!" he shouted. + +Lila and Ben were scared. They did not want to make the man mad. They said sorry and ran away. They went back to the swings and slides. They decided to stay away from the tent. + +They learned that some things are better to watch from far away. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to go to the park with their mom and dad. The park has a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a pond. Tom and Lily have fun playing in the park. + +One day, there is a special event in the park. There are many people and animals. There are clowns, balloons, music and games. Tom and Lily are excited. They want to see everything. + +They see a dog show. The dogs can do tricks. They can sit, roll, jump and fetch. Tom and Lily clap and cheer. They think the dogs are very intelligent. + +They see a puppet show. The puppets can talk and sing. They tell funny stories and jokes. Tom and Lily laugh and giggle. They think the puppets are very clever. + +They see a magic show. The magician can do wonders. He can make things disappear, reappear, change and float. Tom and Lily are amazed and curious. They think the magician is very smart. + +They have a great time at the event. They thank their mom and dad for taking them to the park. They say they want to come back again. They go home happy and tired. They dream of the park and the event. +Tom and Mia love to sing. They sing at home, at school, and in the car. They sing happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. Singing makes them feel good. + +One day, they go on a train with their mom and dad. They are going to visit their grandma and grandpa. They are very excited. They want to sing on the train, too. + +But when they get on the train, they see many people. Some people are reading, some people are sleeping, and some people are talking. Tom and Mia feel anxious. They do not want to bother the people. They do not know if they can sing on the train. + +They look at their mom and dad. Their mom and dad smile at them. They say, "You can sing on the train, but softly. Sing softly, so you do not make too much noise. Sing softly, so you can still hear the train. Sing softly, so you can enjoy the ride." + +Tom and Mia nod. They understand. They sing softly on the train. They sing softly, but happily. They sing softly, but proudly. They sing softly, but beautifully. They sing on the train, and they have fun. +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They have a big brown chest full of toys. They like to pretend they are pirates and find treasure. + +"Look, Mia, I found a record!" Tom says, holding a shiny disc. "It has music on it. Let's listen to it." + +"Okay, Tom, but how do we play it?" Mia asks, curious. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He remembers that his dad has a record player in the living room. He runs inside and brings it out. He plugs it in and puts the record on it. He turns the knob and the music starts. + +"Wow, Tom, this is fun!" Mia says, clapping her hands. "The music is loud and fast. Let's dance!" + +Tom and Mia dance and laugh. They spin and jump and twirl. They have a lot of fun with the record. They forget about the chest and the other toys. + +"Tom, Mia, time for lunch!" their mom calls from the kitchen. + +"Okay, mom, we're coming!" Tom and Mia say. They turn off the record player and put the record back in the chest. They run inside and wash their hands. They are hungry and happy. They love playing in the garden. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big bird with orange wings. They want to observe the bird. + +"Look, Ben, a bird!" Lily says. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Ben says. + +They run after the bird, but the bird flies away. They follow the bird with their eyes. The bird lands on a tree. + +"Shh, Lily, be quiet. Maybe the bird will come back," Ben says. + +They sit on the grass and watch the tree. They wait for a long time. They are very quiet. + +Suddenly, the bird comes out of the tree. It flies over their heads. It makes a loud sound. + +"Tweet, tweet, tweet!" the bird says. + +"Hello, bird!" Lily and Ben say. + +The bird looks at them. It flaps its orange wings. It flies away again. + +"Bye, bird!" Lily and Ben say. + +They smile at each other. They are happy. They observed a bird with orange wings. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars and trucks. They have a lot of cars and trucks, but they always want the same one. This makes them fight and row. + +One day, Mom says, "Boys, it is time for lunch. Come and eat your soup and bread." Tom and Sam run to the kitchen. They are very hungry. They see two bowls of soup and two slices of bread on the table. But one bowl of soup is bigger than the other. And one slice of bread is thicker than the other. + +Tom and Sam both want the bigger soup and the thicker bread. They grab the same bowl and the same slice. They pull and tug and shout. "This is mine!" "No, this is mine!" They do not want to share. + +Mom sees them rowing. She is not happy. She says, "Boys, stop fighting. You have enough food. You can both have some soup and some bread. It does not matter who has the bigger or the thicker. What matters is that you are kind and fair." + +Tom and Sam look at Mom. They look at the soup and the bread. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, brother." They let go of the bowl and the slice. They share the soup and the bread. They eat and talk and smile. They are not hungry anymore. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She says, "That's better. Now you can go and play with your cars and trucks. But remember to take turns and be nice." + +Tom and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We will." They hug Mom and thank her for the soup and the bread. They go back to their room. They play with their cars and trucks. They do not row anymore. They seem to get along. They are good brothers. +Sam was a little boy who liked to play with his cars and trucks. He had many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. + +One day, Sam was playing with his cars and trucks in his room, when he heard a loud noise outside. He ran to the window and saw an enormous truck with a red cross on it. It was a hospital truck. Sam wondered what it was doing in his street. + +He ran to his mom and asked her, "Mom, what is that big truck? Is it a hospital?" + +Mom looked out the window and saw the truck too. She said, "Yes, Sam, that is a hospital truck. It is here to help someone who is sick or hurt. Sometimes, people need to go to the hospital to get better." + +Sam was curious and wanted to know more. He said, "Mom, can we go and see the hospital truck? Maybe they have some cars and trucks inside." + +Mom said, "No, Sam, we can't go and see the hospital truck. It is not polite to bother the people who work there. They are very busy and need to do their job. We can watch from here, but we have to be quiet and respectful." + +Sam nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, I understand. I will be quiet and respectful. But can you tell me more about the hospital truck? What does it do? How does it help people?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Sure, Sam, I can tell you more about the hospital truck. Come, sit with me on the couch, and I will tell you a story." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. Today, they want to perform a show for their moms. They look for clothes in the big box. + +Lily finds a blue dress and a hat. She puts them on. She says, "I am a princess. I live in a castle. I have a magic wand." + +Ben finds a blue shirt and a cape. He puts them on. He says, "I am a superhero. I fly in the sky. I have super powers." + +They go to the living room. They see their moms sitting on the couch. They say, "Hello, moms. We have a show for you. Please watch us." + +Lily and Ben start to perform. They act out their stories. They make funny noises and faces. They wave their wand and cape. Their moms clap and cheer. They say, "Wow, Lily and Ben. You are very good. We love your show. You are very creative." + +Lily and Ben smile and bow. They say, "Thank you, moms. We are happy. We like to perform. We have fun." They hug their moms. They put the clothes back in the box. They play some more. +Tom and Mia are best friends. They like to play together every day. Today, they are playing with their toy cars and trucks. They make noises and pretend to drive on the road. + +"Beep beep! Move out of the way!" Tom says, as he zooms his red car past Mia's blue truck. + +"Hey, that's not fair! You are too fast!" Mia says, as she tries to catch up with Tom. + +They laugh and have fun, until they hear a loud noise outside. They pause and look out the window. They see a big yellow bus, with many children inside. The bus stops in front of their house. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom says, with wide eyes. "That is a very big bus!" + +"It is impressive!" Mia agrees, with a smile. "Do you think they are going to school?" + +"I don't know. Maybe they are going on a trip!" Tom says, as he wonders where the bus is going. + +They watch as the children get off the bus, and follow a lady into their house. They are curious and excited. + +"Who are they?" Mia asks, as she taps on the glass. + +"Maybe they are our new friends!" Tom says, as he waves at them. + +They hear a knock on the door. They run to open it, and see the lady and the children. The lady smiles and says, "Hello, Tom and Mia! I am Mrs. Lee, and these are my students. We are here for a play date. Can we join you?" + +Tom and Mia are happy and surprised. They nod and say, "Yes, of course! Come in, come in!" + +They invite the children to play with their toys, and share their snacks. They have a lot of fun, and make new friends. They are glad that the big yellow bus came to their house. They think it is the best wake ever. +Lily was a nice girl who liked to go to school. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. She also liked to help her teacher, Miss Rose, with the books and the toys. + +One day, Miss Rose asked Lily to lift a big box of books and put it on the shelf. Lily was happy to help, but the box was very heavy. She tried to lift it, but it was too hard. She felt sad and said, "I can't do it, Miss Rose. The box is too big and too heavy for me." + +Miss Rose smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lily. You can do it if you try again. You are a strong and brave girl. And I have a surprise for you in the box. Do you want to see it?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. What is it?" + +Miss Rose said, "It is a new book for you. It is about a girl who goes on an adventure with a magic lift. She can lift anything she wants with the lift. She can lift cars, trees, houses, even mountains. She has a lot of fun with the lift. Do you like stories like that?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. I love stories like that. They are exciting and funny." + +Miss Rose said, "Well, then, why don't you try to lift the box again and see if you can find the book? Maybe the lift will help you." + +Lily said, "Okay, I will try." She took a deep breath and grabbed the box. She felt a strange tingling in her arms. She lifted the box with ease and put it on the shelf. She was amazed and happy. She said, "Wow, I did it, Miss Rose. I lifted the box. How did I do that?" + +Miss Rose winked and said, "It was the magic lift, Lily. It helped you lift the box. And here is your book. It is a gift from me to you. You can take it home and read it. I hope you enjoy it." + +Lily hugged Miss Rose and said, "Thank you, Miss Rose. You are the best teacher ever. And thank you, magic lift. You are the best lift ever." She took the book and opened it. She saw a picture of a girl with a big smile and a lift. She said, "This is me. This is my story. I can't wait to read it." She was very happy. She had a nice day at school. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. Today they both want the white car. It is shiny and fast. + +"Give me the white car!" Tom yells. He tries to grab it from Sam's hand. + +"No, it is mine!" Sam yells back. He holds the car tight and pushes Tom away. + +They yell and pull and push. They are very loud. Mom hears them from the kitchen. She is not happy. + +"Tom! Sam! Stop yelling and fighting!" Mom says. She comes to their room. She sees the white car on the floor. She picks it up. + +"Look what you did! You broke the white car!" Mom says. She shows them the wheel that fell off. She is sad and angry. + +Tom and Sam feel bad. They are sorry. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They hug and share their toys. They are quiet and nice. Mom smiles and hugs them too. She fixes the white car with some glue. She gives it back to them. + +"Now, play nicely with the white car. And with each other." Mom says. She goes back to the kitchen. + +Tom and Sam nod and smile. They play with the white car together. They take turns and say please and thank you. They are happy and good. They love the white car. And they love Mom. And they love each other. The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a magazine in the mail. It has many pictures of animals and cars and flowers. + +"Look, Sara, a magazine!" Ben says. He opens it and sees a big lion. "Wow, a lion! It is yellow and brown and has a long tail." + +Sara comes to see the magazine. She likes lions too. But she sees another picture that she likes more. It is a pink and white unicorn. "Wow, a unicorn! It is pretty and has a horn and wings." + +Ben and Sara each want to look at their favorite picture. They start to pull the magazine. "No, I want the lion!" Ben says. "No, I want the unicorn!" Sara says. They pull harder and harder. + +"Stop, stop!" Mom says. She hears the twins fighting. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the magazine and the pictures. "Why are you fighting? You can both look at the magazine. You can take turns or you can join and look together." + +Ben and Sara think about what Mom says. They do not want to fight. They want to be happy. They decide to join and look together. They see that the magazine has many other pictures that they both like. They see a monkey, a rainbow, a truck, a flower, and more. They point and name and smile. + +"Look, Mom, a monkey!" Ben says. "Look, Mom, a rainbow!" Sara says. They show Mom the pictures. Mom is happy too. She hugs them and says, "I'm glad you joined and looked together. You are good twins. You can keep the magazine and look at it anytime you want." +Ben likes to read novels. He has many novels in his room. He likes to count them every day. He counts one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. He has ten novels. + +One day, his sister Lily comes to his room. She wants to play with his novels. She takes one novel and opens it. She tears a page. Ben is angry. He says, "No, Lily, no! That is my novel. You are bad. Give it back!" + +Lily does not listen. She takes another novel and throws it on the floor. She laughs. Ben is very angry. He says, "Stop, Lily, stop! You are breaking my novels. Go away!" + +Lily does not stop. She takes another novel and rips the cover. She says, "I don't care. They are boring. I want to play." + +Ben is sad. He cries. He says, "Please, Lily, please. Don't hurt my novels. They are my friends. They make me happy." + +Lily sees Ben crying. She feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I was just having fun. I won't do it again." + +Ben stops crying. He says, "It's okay, Lily, it's okay. But you have to be careful. Novels are not toys. They are stories. They teach us things. They make us wise." + +Lily nods. She says, "I understand, Ben, I understand. Can you show me your novels? Can you tell me their stories?" + +Ben smiles. He says, "Sure, Lily, sure. I can show you my novels. I can tell you their stories. But first, let's count them. Let's see how many we have left." + +They count together. They count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. They have eight novels left. + +They hug. They say, "We love novels. We love each other." +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big brown bear. The bear was soft and cuddly, and they named him Chewy. Chewy was dependable. He always listened to their stories and secrets, and never got angry or sad. + +One day, Ben and Lily had a fight. They both wanted to play with Chewy, but they did not want to share. They pulled and tugged on Chewy, trying to take him away from each other. Chewy did not like this. He felt hurt and scared. + +"Stop it!" Chewy said in a small voice. "You are hurting me! I love you both, but you are not being nice to me or each other." + +Ben and Lily were surprised. They did not know Chewy could talk. They felt ashamed and sorry. They let go of Chewy and hugged him. + +"We are sorry, Chewy," they said. "We love you too. We were being selfish and mean. We don't want to hurt you or make you sad. Can you forgive us?" + +Chewy smiled and nodded. He was happy that Ben and Lily said sorry and made up. He hugged them back and said, "Of course I forgive you. You are my best friends. But please, don't fight over me again. I have enough love for both of you. And sharing is caring." + +Ben and Lily agreed. They learned their lesson. They decided to take turns playing with Chewy, and to play with other toys too. They also learned to be more quiet and gentle with Chewy, and to respect his feelings. Chewy was glad. He felt safe and loved. He was a very lucky bear. +Jen and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a big pile of leaves and ran to it. They wanted to jump and spin in the leaves. They thought it would be fun and pretty. + +"Look, Jen, a red leaf!" Ben said, picking up a leaf. "It is like a star. I will spin it in the air and catch it." + +"Me too, me too!" Jen said, grabbing a yellow leaf. "I will spin it faster than you. Watch me!" + +They both spun their leaves and laughed. They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog liked to chase things that moved. He saw the spinning leaves and thought they were toys. He barked and ran faster. + +The twins heard the noisy dog and turned around. They were scared. They dropped their leaves and tried to run away. But the dog was too fast. He jumped on them and knocked them down. He bit their arms and legs. He tore their clothes. He did not want to play. He wanted to hurt them. + +The twins cried and screamed. They wished they had not spun the leaves. They wished they had stayed away from the dog. They wished someone would help them. But no one came. The dog was too noisy. He scared everyone away. The twins were alone and in pain. They had a bad ending. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and papers. She drew flowers, animals, and people. She drew her family and her friends. She was very good at drawing. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, I have a surprise for you." She gave Lily a big box. Lily opened it and saw a frame. It was shiny and pretty. It had glass and wood. "What is this for?" Lily asked. + +"This is for your drawings," her mom said. "You can choose one of your drawings and put it in the frame. Then we can hang it on the wall. It will look very nice." + +Lily was happy. She thanked her mom and hugged her. She looked at her drawings and tried to choose one. She liked all of them. She did not know which one to pick. + +She asked her mom, "Which one do you recommend?" Her mom smiled and said, "They are all good, but I have a favorite. Do you remember the drawing you made for my birthday? The one with the cake and the candles and the hearts?" + +Lily nodded. She remembered. She had worked very hard on that drawing. She had used many colors and shapes. She had written "I love you, Mom" on it. She had given it to her mom with a big kiss. + +"I recommend that one," her mom said. "It is very special to me. It makes me happy every time I see it." + +Lily agreed. She thought it was a good choice. She took the drawing and put it in the frame. Her mom helped her. They hung it on the wall. It looked very nice. Lily was proud of her drawing. She was happy to share it with her mom. They hugged and smiled. They loved each other very much. +Lily and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. One day, they saw a big dragon in the sky. The dragon was green and had wings and fire. Lily and Ben were scared. They ran to their mom and dad. + +The dragon saw Lily and Ben. He was not mean. He was lonely. He wanted to play with them. He flew down and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want to be my friends?" + +Lily and Ben stopped running. They looked at the dragon. He smiled and wagged his tail. He did not look scary. He looked nice. Lily and Ben said, "Hello, dragon. What is your name?" + +The dragon said, "My name is Sparky. I like to fly and play. Do you have any toys?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They showed Sparky their ball, their doll and their car. Sparky liked the toys. He played with them gently. He did not break them. He said, "Thank you for sharing. You are very kind." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They liked Sparky. They said, "You are welcome. You are very fun." + +They played for a long time. Then, they heard their mom and dad call them. It was time to go home. Lily and Ben said, "Bye, Sparky. We have to go. Can we see you again?" + +Sparky said, "Bye, Lily and Ben. I have to go too. I live in the mountains. But I will come back soon. I want to see you again." + +They hugged Sparky and said, "We will miss you. You are our friend." + +Sparky flew away. He waved his wing and said, "I will miss you too. You are my friends." + +Lily and Ben went to their mom and dad. They told them about Sparky. Their mom and dad did not believe them. They said, "Dragons are not real. You made him up." + +Lily and Ben said, "No, we did not. He is real. He is nice. He is our friend." + +Their mom and dad said, "OK, OK. Maybe he is real. Maybe he is nice. Maybe he is your friend. But you have to be careful. Dragons can be dangerous. They can breathe fire and bite." + +Lily and Ben said, "No, Sparky is not dangerous. He does not breathe fire and bite. He plays and hugs. He is our friend." + +Their mom and dad said, "All right, all right. He is your friend. But you have to eat your dinner. It is yummy. It is chicken and rice and peas." + +Lily and Ben said, "OK, we will eat our dinner. It is yummy. But we wish Sparky was here. He would like it too. He is our friend." +Tom and Jen were playing with their toy rockets in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were astronauts and explore the stars. They had a big box of rockets, some red, some blue, some yellow. They took turns to launch them in the air and catch them. + +One day, they found a new rocket in the box. It was gray and had a pointy tip. It looked different from the other rockets. Tom wanted to try it, but Jen was not sure. + +"Where did this rocket come from?" Jen asked. + +"I don't know, maybe Dad bought it for us," Tom said. + +"Maybe we should ask him first," Jen said. + +"No, let's just play with it. It looks cool," Tom said. + +He took the rocket and ran to the other side of the yard. He aimed it at the sky and pushed a button. The rocket made a loud noise and flew very fast. It did not come back. + +Tom and Jen watched in shock as the rocket disappeared into the clouds. They heard a big boom and saw a flash of light. They felt the ground shake and the wind blow. They were scared. + +They ran inside the house and found their parents. They told them what happened. Their parents were angry and worried. They explained to them that the rocket was not a toy, but a missile. A missile is a very dangerous thing that can hurt people and break things. They said they had to call the police and the army to see where the missile went and what it did. + +Tom and Jen felt very sorry and ashamed. They realized they made a big mistake. They wished they had listened to Jen and asked their parents before playing with the missile. They learned that they should always be careful and respectful with things they don't know. They hugged their parents and said they were sorry. They hoped the missile did not cause too much trouble. They felt very gloomy. +Anna was a very intelligent girl. She liked to learn new things and ask questions. She also liked to help her mom with chores. One day, her mom asked her to help set the table for dinner. Anna was happy to help. + +She took the plates, the forks, the spoons, and the napkins from the cupboard and put them on the table. Then she saw a candle on the shelf. She wanted to put the candle on the table too, to make it look pretty. But the candle was too high for her to reach. She tried to jump, but she was too short. She tried to climb, but she was too slippery. She tried to stretch, but she was too small. + +She was about to give up, when she had an idea. She saw a stool in the corner. She dragged the stool to the shelf and climbed on it. Now she was tall enough to reach the candle. She grabbed the candle and put it on the table. She was very proud of herself. + +"Look, mom, I got the candle!" she said. + +"Wow, Anna, you are so intelligent!" her mom said. "You found a way to get the candle. Thank you for helping me. You are such a good girl." + +Anna smiled and hugged her mom. She was happy to help and to make her mom proud. She liked the candle too. It smelled nice and made the table look pretty. She wondered what they would have for dinner. She hoped it would be something yummy. She was hungry and ready to eat. +Lily and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys and watch cartoons. One day, their mom said they could go to a restaurant for dinner. Lily and Tom were very happy. They put on their nice clothes and got in the car. + +At the restaurant, there were many people and many dishes. Lily and Tom looked at the menu. They saw pictures of pizza, burgers, fries, ice cream, and cake. They wanted to try everything. They told their mom what they wanted. Their mom said they could have one dish each and share a dessert. Lily and Tom nodded, but they were not happy. They wanted more. + +When the food came, Lily and Tom ate very fast. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to slow down and chew well. They finished their dishes and asked for the dessert. Their mom brought a big slice of chocolate cake with whipped cream. Lily and Tom each took a big bite. It was very sweet and yummy. They smiled and ate more. + +But soon, Lily and Tom felt sick. Their tummies hurt and they felt like throwing up. They did not want any more cake. They looked at their mom with sad eyes. Their mom looked at them with worried eyes. She asked them if they were okay. Lily and Tom shook their heads. They said they were sorry. They said they ate too much. They said they regretted being greedy. Their mom hugged them and said it was okay. She said they learned a lesson. She said they should be thankful for what they have. She said some people are not rich and do not have enough food. She said they should be kind and share with others. Lily and Tom nodded. They said they understood. They said they loved their mom. They said they wanted to go home. Their mom paid the bill and took them to the car. She gave them some water and a mint. She said they would feel better soon. She said she loved them too. She said they would have a good night's sleep. Lily and Tom smiled and said thank you. They said they would not be greedy again. They said they would be good. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. +Tommy did not like bath time. He liked to play with his toys and make a mess. He did not like to be wet and soapy. He did not like to dry his hair with the towel. He did not like to wear his bathrobe. His bathrobe was thick and warm, but it was also blue and boring. Tommy wanted a red bathrobe with a dinosaur on it. + +One day, Tommy had an idea. He took his crayons and drew a big dinosaur on his bathrobe. He was very proud of his work. He showed it to his mom and said, "Look, mom, I have a dinosaur bathrobe!" + +Mom saw the crayons and the bathrobe and frowned. She was not happy. She said, "Tommy, what did you do? You ruined your bathrobe! You can't draw on your clothes with crayons! That's naughty!" + +Tommy felt sad. He did not mean to be naughty. He just wanted to have a fun bathrobe. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted a dinosaur bathrobe. I don't like my blue bathrobe. It's boring." + +Mom sighed. She said, "I know, Tommy, but you can't change your bathrobe like that. Crayons are for paper, not for clothes. Maybe we can find you a new bathrobe with a dinosaur on it. But first, you have to wash your bathrobe and say sorry to it." + +Tommy nodded. He said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry, bathrobe. I will wash you and make you clean." He took his bathrobe to the laundry and put it in the washing machine. He hoped his bathrobe would forgive him. He hoped he would find a new bathrobe with a dinosaur on it. He thought that would make him happy. +Mia and Ben 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 slide. They also liked to look for bugs and flowers. + +One day, they found a big worm on the ground. It was brown and slimy and long. Mia wanted to touch it, but Ben was scared. + +"Look, Ben, it's a worm!" Mia said. "It's so cool!" + +"Yuck, Mia, it's gross!" Ben said. "Don't touch it, it might bite you!" + +"No, it won't, Ben, it's just a worm. It can't bite, it has no teeth. See, I'll show you." Mia said. She picked up the worm and held it in her hand. It wriggled and curled in her palm. + +"Wow, Mia, you're brave!" Ben said. He came closer and looked at the worm. "How long is it?" + +"I don't know, Ben, maybe an inch?" Mia said. She stretched the worm a little to measure it. "Or maybe two inches?" + +"Can I touch it, Mia?" Ben asked. He was curious now. + +"Sure, Ben, here you go." Mia said. She gave the worm to Ben. He took it gently and felt it. It was wet and smooth and cold. + +"It feels funny, Mia." Ben said. He smiled and laughed. "It tickles my fingers!" + +They played with the worm for a while, then they put it back on the ground. They said goodbye to the worm and thanked it for being their friend. Then they skipped to the ice cream truck to get a treat. They chose their favorite flavors: Mia got strawberry and Ben got chocolate. They licked their ice creams and enjoyed the sweet taste. + +But then, Mia made a face. She spat out her ice cream and said, "Ew, Mia, this is bitter!" + +Ben looked at her ice cream and saw something brown and slimy on it. It was the worm! It had stuck to Mia's hand and got on her ice cream. Ben screamed and dropped his ice cream too. He ran away from the worm and said, "Yuck, Mia, that's gross!" + +Mia was mad and sad. She threw her ice cream at the worm and said, "Bad worm, bad worm, you ruined my ice cream!" + +The worm didn't care. It crawled away and looked for a new home. Mia and Ben learned a lesson: always wash your hands after playing with worms. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big volcano that could make red bubbles. They liked to pretend that the volcano was a real mountain that could explode and make loud noises. + +One day, they decided to carry the volcano to the backyard and play with it there. They asked their mom if they could go outside, and she said yes, but they had to be careful and not make a mess. Tim and Kim nodded and smiled, and then they took the volcano and went outside. + +They put the volcano on the grass and poured some water and soap into it. Then they pressed a button and watched the red bubbles come out of the top. They laughed and clapped and shouted, "Look, mom, look! The volcano is erupting!" + +Their mom came to the window and saw them playing. She smiled and said, "That's very nice, Tim and Kim, but don't forget to clean up when you're done." Tim and Kim said, "Okay, mom, we will." + +But they didn't. They kept playing with the volcano until they got hungry. Then they left the volcano on the grass and ran inside to have some lunch. They ate some tasty sandwiches and drank some juice. They forgot about the volcano and their promise to their mom. + +While they were eating, a big wind came and blew the volcano over. The water and soap spilled out and made a big puddle on the grass. The puddle was sticky and dirty and smelled bad. Some of the red bubbles flew into the air and landed on the flowers and the fence. The flowers and the fence turned red and looked ugly. + +When Tim and Kim finished their lunch, they went back outside to play. But when they saw the mess they had made, they gasped and cried. They had ruined their backyard and their volcano. They felt very sorry and ashamed. + +Their mom came outside and saw the mess too. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Tim and Kim, what have you done? You didn't clean up after yourselves. You didn't listen to me. You were very naughty and careless. Now you have to clean up this mess and say sorry to me and to the backyard. And you can't play with the volcano anymore. You have to give it away to someone who will take better care of it." + +Tim and Kim nodded and said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, backyard. We were very bad. We will clean up and give away the volcano. We will never do this again." + +They started to clean up the mess, but it was very hard and took a long time. They wished they had been more careful and respectful. They learned their lesson: they should always keep their promises and take care of their things. + +The end. +Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Ann says. + +They run to the slide. Tom goes first. He sits on the slide and pushes with his feet. He goes down fast. He is happy. + +Ann goes next. She sits on the slide and pushes with her feet. But she does not go down fast. She goes down slow. She is not happy. + +"Why are you so slow?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know," Ann says. + +They look at the slide. They see a chain. The chain is on the slide. The chain makes the slide rough. The chain stops Ann from going fast. + +"Who put the chain on the slide?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know," Ann says. + +They see a man. The man is near the slide. The man has a bag. The bag has more chains. The man is lazy. He does not want to work. He puts the chains on the slide to make it rough. He thinks it is funny. + +"Hey, you!" Tom shouts. "Stop putting chains on the slide!" + +The man looks at Tom and Ann. He is angry. He does not like them. He runs to them. He wants to catch them. + +Tom and Ann are scared. They run away from the man. They run to the other side of the park. They see a swing. They go on the swing. They swing high. They are happy. + +They forget about the man and the chain. They have fun on the swing. They are friends. +Anna and Ben wanted to play dress-up. They had a big box of costumes in their room. They liked to pretend to be different animals and people. + +Anna wanted to be a fairy. She searched for her fairy wings and wand in the box. She found them and put them on. She felt happy and magical. + +Ben wanted to be a pirate. He searched for his pirate hat and sword in the box. He could not find them. He felt angry and sad. + +"Anna, where is my pirate hat and sword?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe you left them somewhere else," Anna said. + +"No, they are in the box. You took them. Give them back to me!" Ben shouted. + +"I did not take them, Ben. I have my fairy wings and wand. You are being stubborn and mean," Anna said. + +They started to fight. They pulled and pushed each other. They knocked over the box. The costumes spilled out on the floor. + +Mom heard the noise. She came to their room. She saw the mess and the fighting. She was very angry. + +"Anna and Ben, stop it right now! You are not playing dress-up. You are making a big problem. You have to clean up the room and say sorry to each other. And no more costumes for today. You are in time-out," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They did not want to be in time-out. They wished they had shared and played nicely. But it was too late. They had ruined their fun. +Sam liked to number his toys. He had a lot of toys, but his favorite was his basketball. He liked to bounce it and throw it and catch it. He numbered his basketball with a big one on it. + +One day, Sam went to the park with his mom and his basketball. He saw some big kids playing with another basketball. They looked like they were having fun. Sam wanted to play with them, but he was worried. He was worried they would not let him play. He was worried they would take his basketball. He was worried they would laugh at his number one. + +Sam stayed close to his mom and watched the big kids. He held his basketball tight. He did not bounce it or throw it or catch it. He just looked at it and at the big kids. + +Then, one of the big kids saw Sam and his basketball. He smiled and waved at him. He said, "Hey, little guy, do you want to play with us? We need one more player. You have a cool basketball. Can I see it?" + +Sam was surprised. He looked at his mom. She nodded and smiled. She said, "Go ahead, Sam. You can play with them. They are nice. I will be right here." + +Sam felt happy. He let go of his basketball and ran to the big kids. He gave them his basketball and they gave him another one. They said, "You can be on our team. We are the number ones. You have a number one on your basketball. That means you are good." + +Sam smiled and nodded. He played with the big kids and had fun. He bounced and threw and caught the basketball. He made some friends. He was not worried anymore. He was happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they decided to make a puppet show for their mom and dad. They used some old socks, buttons, and yarn to make their puppets. They also found a big curtain in the closet that they could hang from the door. + +"Let's practice our show before mom and dad come home," Anna said. "You be the lion and I'll be the mouse." + +"OK," Ben said. "But I'm hungry. Can we have a snack first?" + +Anna looked at the clock. "No, we don't have time. We have to finish our show. Come on, let's go behind the curtain." + +Ben followed Anna, but he was still hungry. He saw a bowl of cookies on the table. They looked yummy. He thought he could just have one and Anna wouldn't notice. He sneaked out from behind the curtain and grabbed a cookie. + +"Ben, where are you?" Anna called. "It's your turn to roar." + +Ben stuffed the cookie in his mouth and ran back to the curtain. He tried to roar, but he choked on the cookie. He coughed and spit out the cookie on the floor. + +"Ben, what's wrong?" Anna asked. She came out from behind the curtain and saw the cookie on the floor. She also saw the bowl of cookies on the table. She was angry. "Ben, did you eat a cookie?" + +Ben nodded. He felt bad. He knew he had broken their promise to finish their show. + +"Ben, that was not nice. You should have waited until we were done. Now we don't have time to practice. And you made a mess on the floor. Mom and dad will be mad at us." + +Ben was sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was hungry and the cookies looked yummy. But you're right. I should have waited. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna sighed. She loved her brother, even when he did silly things. She said, "I forgive you, Ben. But next time, please don't eat the cookies. They are for after the show. And let's clean up the floor before mom and dad come home." + +Ben hugged Anna. He said, "Thank you, Anna. You're a good sister. And let's do our best for the show. I think mom and dad will like it." + +Anna smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Ben. You're a good brother. And I think you're right. Mom and dad will like our show. Come on, let's go behind the curtain." + +They went behind the curtain and started their show. They made their puppets talk and sing and dance. They had fun and forgot about the cookies. When mom and dad came home, they clapped and cheered for Anna and Ben. They said, "That was a wonderful show. We're so proud of you. You're very creative and talented." + +Anna and Ben bowed and thanked their mom and dad. They said, "We're glad you liked it. We worked hard to finish it. And we have a surprise for you. We have some cookies for you. They are yummy." + +Mom and dad smiled. They said, "That's very sweet of you. Thank you for the cookies. They are yummy indeed. But you know what's even yummier? Your love for each other. That's the best gift of all." + +Anna and Ben hugged their mom and dad. They said, "We love you, mom and dad. And we love each other. We're sorry for the mess on the floor. We'll clean it up later." + +Mom and dad said, "Don't worry about the mess. We'll help you clean it up. We're happy that you had fun and learned a lesson. The lesson is: don't eat the cookies before you finish your show. And always share and be honest with each other. That's how you grow up to be good and happy people." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "We understand, mom and dad. We'll remember that lesson. And we'll always share and be honest with each other. And we'll always love you." + +Mom and dad said, "We love you too, Anna and Ben. You're our precious twins. And you're our stars." + +The end. +Tom loves to play with his guitar. He likes to make loud noises and sing funny songs. He thinks he is a rock star. He plays his guitar every day in his room. + +One day, his mom comes in and says, "Tom, I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?" Tom nods and follows his mom to the kitchen. There, he sees a big cake on the table. It has candles and frosting and sprinkles. It looks yummy. + +"Happy birthday, Tom!" his mom says. "This is your special cake. I made it for you. You can blow the candles and make a wish." + +Tom is very happy. He hugs his mom and says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can I have a piece of cake now?" + +"Of course, my sweet boy. But first, you have to give me a kiss." his mom says. + +Tom gives his mom a kiss and then runs to the table. He blows the candles and makes a wish. He wishes for a new guitar, a bigger one, like the ones he sees on TV. He thinks his wish will come true. + +He takes a big bite of his cake. But he makes a face. The cake is sour. It tastes like lemons and vinegar. He spits it out and says, "Yuck! Mom, what is this? This is not a good cake. This is a bad cake. Why did you make a sour cake?" + +His mom laughs and says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was just joking. This is not your real cake. This is a prank cake. I wanted to see your reaction. Here is your real cake. It is chocolate and vanilla and has your favorite candies on top. And look, there is also a present for you. It is a new guitar, just like you wished for." + +Tom is surprised and happy. He sees his real cake and his present. He says, "Wow! Mom, you are so funny and so nice. You tricked me, but you also gave me what I wanted. I love you, mom. And I love my new guitar. Can I play it now?" + +"Sure, Tom. But first, you have to share your cake with me and dad. And don't forget to say thank you." his mom says. + +Tom says, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, dad. You are the best parents ever. You made my birthday awesome. Now, let's eat some cake and listen to some rock music." He picks up his new guitar and starts to play. He is very happy. He has the best birthday ever. +Sara and Ben went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish and shells and crabs. They were having fun. + +"Look, Sara, what is that?" Ben said, pointing to something in the water. It was round and clear and had long strings. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe it is a balloon," Sara said. + +They ran to the water and tried to catch it. But it was not a balloon. It was a jellyfish. And it was not a regular jellyfish. It was a very cold jellyfish. + +When Sara touched it, she felt a sting and a chill. She screamed and dropped it. Ben touched it too and felt the same. He screamed and dropped it too. + +"Ow, ow, ow, Mom, Dad, help!" they cried. + +Mom and Dad heard them and ran to them. They saw the jellyfish and knew what happened. + +"Oh, no, you touched a freeze jellyfish. They are very rare and very dangerous. They can make you very cold and hurt you. Come, let's go to the doctor," Mom said. + +She wrapped Sara and Ben in towels and carried them to the car. Dad picked up the jellyfish with a stick and threw it back to the water. + +"Sorry, jellyfish, we didn't mean to bother you. But you should not bother us either," he said. + +They drove to the doctor and he gave them some medicine and some warm blankets. He said they would be fine soon. + +Sara and Ben felt better and hugged Mom and Dad. They learned a lesson. They would never touch a jellyfish again. Especially not a freeze jellyfish. +Lia and Ben are friends. They live in a village near the big river. The river has many fish and plants. Lia and Ben like to play near the water. + +One day, the sun is very hot. The water in the river goes down and down. Lia and Ben see the fish and plants are sad. They have no water to swim and grow. Lia and Ben want to help them. + +They find a big bucket and a small hose. They fill the bucket with water from the river. They use the hose to make a stream of water. They carry the bucket and the hose to the fish and plants. They give them water to drink and wet them. + +The fish and plants are happy. They thank Lia and Ben. They give them colorful flowers and shells. Lia and Ben smile. They are happy too. They go back to the river and play with the water. They hope the rain will come soon and fill the river again. +Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls. They liked to dress them up and make them talk. Lily had a large doll with a red dress and a button on her chest. Ben had a small doll with a blue shirt and a hat. + +"Look at my doll, she can sing!" Lily said. She pressed the button and the doll sang a song. "La la la, I love you, la la la, you love me!" + +"Wow, that's cool!" Ben said. He wanted to try it too. He reached for the button, but Lily pulled the doll away. "No, it's mine! You can't touch it!" + +"Please, Lily, let me try!" Ben said. He grabbed the doll's arm and tried to pull it. Lily held on tight and pulled back. They both pulled and pulled, until they heard a loud snap. + +The doll's arm broke off and flew across the room. The button fell off and rolled under the bed. The doll stopped singing and made a sad noise. "Ow ow ow, you hurt me, ow ow ow!" + +Lily and Ben stared at the broken doll. They felt bad and scared. They knew they did something wrong. They started to cry. + +"Mama, mama, help!" they shouted. Mama came running and saw the mess. She was angry and sad. She picked up the doll and the arm and the button. She looked at Lily and Ben with a stern face. + +"What did you do? How could you break your sister's doll? She loved it so much! You are very naughty and mean!" she said. She took the doll away and told them to go to their room. She said they would not get any dessert or story tonight. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not fought over the doll. They wished they had been nice and shared. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. But it was too late. The doll was broken and their sister was sad. They had a bad ending. +Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a shelf for her books. She always put her toys back in their places after playing with them. + +One day, Lily went on a bus with her mom and dad. They were going to visit her grandma. Lily was nervous. She had never been on a bus before. She saw many people and many things on the bus. She wanted to touch them and look at them. + +"Can I play with that?" she asked a boy who had a toy train. + +"No, it's mine!" the boy said. + +"Can I read that?" she asked a girl who had a comic book. + +"No, it's mine!" the girl said. + +Lily felt sad. She wished she had brought some of her toys with her. She looked out the window and saw a big park. She saw swings and slides and sand. She wanted to play there. + +"Mom, can we go to the park?" she asked. + +"Not now, honey. We have to go to grandma's first. Maybe later," her mom said. + +Lily felt more sad. She wished she could go to the park. She wished she could play with something. She wished she could organize something. + +Then she saw a lady who had a big bag. The bag was full of papers and pens and stickers and crayons. The lady looked tired and bored. She was not using any of the things in her bag. + +"Can I organize your bag?" Lily asked. + +The lady looked surprised. She smiled and said, "Sure, why not? You can organize my bag. Maybe you can make it look nicer." + +Lily was happy. She took the bag and started to organize it. She put the papers in one pile, the pens in another, the stickers in another, and the crayons in another. She used some of the stickers and crayons to decorate the bag. She made it look colorful and fun. + +The lady watched Lily and smiled. She said, "You are very good at organizing. You have made my bag look much better. Thank you." + +Lily smiled back. She said, "You are welcome. I like to organize. It makes me happy." + +The lady gave Lily a hug and said, "You have made me happy too. You are very kind and helpful. You can keep some of the stickers and crayons if you want." + +Lily thanked the lady and took some of the stickers and crayons. She put them in her pocket. She felt proud and happy. She had made a new friend. She had organized something. She had shared something. + +She looked out the window again and saw that they had arrived at grandma's. She was not nervous anymore. She was excited. She wanted to see grandma and show her the stickers and crayons. She wanted to organize grandma's things too. + +She got off the bus with her mom and dad. They thanked the lady and said goodbye. Lily waved to the lady and said, "Bye, bye. Thank you for letting me organize your bag. I hope you have a good day." + +The lady waved back and said, "Bye, bye. Thank you for organizing my bag. I hope you have a good day too." + +The moral value of the story is: Organizing can be fun and rewarding. It can also make others happy and create friendships. Sharing is caring. +Sam and Mia liked to play near the creek. They liked to splash in the water and look for fish and frogs. One day, they saw a big stick on the ground. Sam had an idea. + +"Let's make a bridge with the stick!" he said. "We can put it over the creek and walk on it." + +"OK!" Mia said. She helped Sam lift the stick and carry it to the creek. They tried to put it across the water, but it was too short. It fell into the creek with a splash. + +"Oh no!" Sam said. He was frustrated. He wanted to make a bridge. He tried to get the stick out of the water, but it was too heavy. He pulled and pulled, but it did not move. + +"Sam, don't be sad," Mia said. She saw that Sam was frustrated. She wanted to make him happy. She had an idea. She took Sam's hand and said, "Let's hold hands and jump over the creek. It will be fun!" + +Sam looked at Mia. He saw that she was smiling. He smiled too. He liked Mia. He liked to hold her hand. He said, "OK! Let's jump over the creek!" + +They held hands and ran to the edge of the creek. They jumped over the water and landed on the other side. They laughed and hugged. They were happy. They did not need a bridge. They had each other. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They see a big jar of sugar on the high shelf. They want to make a cake with sugar. + +"Please, mama, can we have some sugar?" Sara asks. + +"No, sugar is not for playing. Sugar is for baking. And the jar is too high for you. You might fall and hurt yourself." Mama says. + +But Sara and Ben do not listen. They wait until mama goes to the phone. They get a chair and a spoon. They climb on the chair and reach for the jar. + +"Be careful, Ben!" Sara says. + +"I got it, I got it!" Ben says. + +But he does not got it. The jar is too heavy and slippery. It falls from his hand and breaks on the floor. Sugar spills everywhere. Sara and Ben are scared and sad. + +"Mama, mama, we are sorry!" they cry. + +Mama comes back and sees the mess. She is angry and worried. + +"What have you done? Look at this sugar! Look at this glass! You could have cut yourself! You could have eaten too much sugar and got sick! You did not listen to me!" she says. + +Sara and Ben hug mama and say sorry again. They help her clean up the sugar and the glass. They learn their lesson. They do not play with sugar anymore. They only use sugar for baking with mama. And they always listen to her. +Lily and Ben were playing with a big red ball in the garden. They liked to bounce the ball and catch it. Sometimes they bounced it very high and it went over the fence. + +One day, they bounced the ball too hard and it flew over the fence and into the pond. They ran to the fence and looked at the pond. They saw the ball sinking in the water. They felt very sad. + +"Oh no, our ball!" Lily cried. + +"How can we get it back?" Ben asked. + +They tried to reach the ball with a stick, but it was too far. They tried to call for help, but no one heard them. They felt very miserable. + +Then they saw a duck swimming in the pond. The duck saw the ball and swam towards it. It picked up the ball with its beak and brought it to the edge of the pond. It dropped the ball on the grass and quacked. + +"Look, the duck saved our ball!" Lily exclaimed. + +"Thank you, duck!" Ben said. + +They picked up the ball and hugged it. They were very happy. They waved to the duck and thanked it again. The duck quacked and swam away. + +Lily and Ben went back to the garden and continued to play with the ball. They bounced it and caught it, but not too high. They did not want to lose the ball again. They had a lot of fun. +Lily liked to play with her mom's things. She liked to wear her mom's hats and shoes and necklaces. She liked to smell her mom's perfume and lipstick. But her favorite thing was her mom's lotion. It was in a big bottle with a shiny cap. It smelled like flowers and made her skin soft. + +One day, Lily saw the lotion on the dresser. She wanted to use some, but her mom was not home. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. She was very careful not to drop it. She unscrewed the cap and poured some lotion on her hand. It was white and creamy. She rubbed it on her arms and legs and face. She felt like a princess. + +But then, she saw something on the bottle. It was a word she did not know. It said "shake". She wondered what it meant. She thought maybe it was a game. She held the bottle in both hands and shook it hard. She shook it up and down and left and right. She shook it so much that the lotion squirted out of the bottle. It splashed on the dresser and the mirror and the floor. It made a big mess. + +Lily was scared. She knew her mom would be angry. She tried to wipe the lotion with a towel, but it only made it worse. She heard her mom's car in the driveway. She did not know what to do. She hid under the bed and hoped her mom would not see. + +Her mom came into the room and saw the lotion everywhere. She was very upset. She looked for Lily and found her under the bed. She pulled her out and asked her what happened. Lily started to cry. She said she was sorry. She said she wanted to play with the lotion. She said she did not know what "shake" meant. + +Her mom sighed. She hugged Lily and told her it was okay. She said she loved her, but she also said she was not happy. She said the lotion was expensive and not for playing. She said Lily had to help her clean the mess. She said Lily had to ask before using her things. Lily nodded. She said she understood. She said she would not do it again. She said she loved her mom too. They cleaned the mess together and then put the lotion back on the dresser. Lily learned a new word and a new lesson. She did not shake the lotion anymore. +Tim and Sue were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big spider on a web. It had eight legs and many eyes. + +"Wow, look at that spider!" Tim said. "It is so big and powerful. It can make webs and catch flies." + +"Can I touch it?" Sue asked. She was curious and brave. + +"No, don't touch it!" Tim said. "It might bite you. It might be poisonous. Spiders are not for touching. They are for looking." + +But Sue did not listen. She reached out her hand and touched the spider. The spider felt hairy and tickly. Sue giggled. The spider did not like it. It moved quickly and bit Sue's finger. Sue cried out in pain. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sue said. "The spider bit me! It hurts!" + +Tim ran to Sue and hugged her. He was sorry and scared. He called for their mom. Mom came and saw the spider and the bite. She took Sue inside and washed her finger. She put some cream and a band-aid on it. + +"Sue, you should not touch spiders," Mom said. "They are wild animals. They can hurt you. You are lucky this spider was not very poisonous. Next time, listen to Tim and be careful." + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Sue said. "I wanted to touch the spider. I thought it was powerful and fun. But it was mean and ouchy. I won't touch spiders again." + +Mom kissed Sue and gave her a hug. She gave her some juice and a cookie. She told her to rest and be calm. Tim came and said he was sorry too. He gave Sue his favorite teddy bear. He said he would play with her when she felt better. + +Sue smiled and thanked Tim. She learned her lesson. She decided to touch only soft and friendly things, like flowers and teddy bears. She still liked to look at spiders, but from far away. She knew they were powerful, but not for touching. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was the new bookcase that their dad made for them. It was big and white and had many shelves for their books. + +One day, Lily and Max wanted to read different books. Lily wanted to read a book about princesses and Max wanted to read a book about dinosaurs. They both ran to the bookcase and tried to grab the books they wanted. + +"Let go of my book!" Lily shouted. "I saw it first!" + +"No, I did!" Max shouted back. "You always read princess books!" + +They pulled and tugged on the books, but neither of them would let go. The books started to rip and tear, and some of them fell to the floor. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said, coming into the room. "What are you doing?" + +She saw the mess on the floor and the torn books in their hands. She was very angry and sad. + +"Look what you did to your new bookcase and your books!" she said. "You should be ashamed of yourselves!" + +She took the books away from them and put them on the top shelf of the bookcase, where they could not reach them. + +"You are not allowed to read any books today," she said. "You have to remain in your room and think about what you did. Maybe then you will learn to share and be nice to each other." + +She left the room and closed the door. Lily and Max looked at each other and felt sorry. They did not want to fight or ruin their books. They wanted to read and have fun. + +They hugged each other and said, "I'm sorry, I love you." + +They decided to play with their toys and wait for their mom to come back. They hoped she would forgive them and let them read their books again. They also hoped they would find a way to share and enjoy their new bookcase together. +One day, a white duck was walking to the pond with her friends. She saw a farmer working in his field. He had a big hat and a shovel. The duck was curious and wanted to talk to him. + +"Hello, farmer!" the duck said. "What are you doing?" + +The farmer looked up and smiled. "Hello, duck. I am digging holes for my seeds. I want to grow corn and carrots and beans." + +"That sounds fun," the duck said. "Can I help you?" + +The farmer shook his head. "No, thank you, duck. You have to go to the pond with your friends. It is time for your swim and your lunch." + +The duck nodded, but she did not want to leave. She liked the farmer and his field. She decided to delay her swim and her lunch. She stayed with the farmer and watched him dig. She asked him many questions and he answered them kindly. + +Meanwhile, her friends waited for her at the pond. They were hungry and bored. They wondered where the duck was. They called her name, but she did not hear them. They started to worry. They thought she might be lost or in trouble. + +After a while, the farmer finished his work. He thanked the duck for her company and told her to go to the pond. He said he had to go to his house and have his lunch. + +The duck realized she had been gone for a long time. She said goodbye to the farmer and ran to the pond. She hoped her friends were still there. + +When she got to the pond, she saw her friends. They were angry and sad. They scolded her for being late and for not listening to the farmer. They said she had missed her swim and her lunch. They said they did not want to play with her anymore. + +The duck felt sorry and ashamed. She had been selfish and rude. She had not cared about her friends. She had only cared about herself. She wished she had not delayed her swim and her lunch. She wished she had followed the farmer's advice. + +She apologized to her friends and asked them to forgive her. She said she had learned her lesson. She said she would never do it again. + +Her friends saw that she was sincere and they forgave her. They hugged her and shared their lunch with her. They said they were still her friends and they loved her. + +The duck was happy and grateful. She thanked her friends and joined them for a swim. She decided to always listen to the farmer and to her friends. She decided to never delay what was important and good. + +The moral of the story is: Do not delay what is important and good. Listen to those who know better and care for you. Be a good friend and a good listener. +Ben and Lily like to play with their boat. They have a big boat made of wood and paint. They can put the boat in the water and make it go fast. Sometimes they pretend they are pirates or sailors. + +One day, they decide to decorate their boat. They find some stickers and ribbons and glue. They stick the stickers on the boat. They make patterns and shapes. They glue the ribbons on the boat. They make the boat look pretty and colorful. + +They are very happy with their boat. They want to show it to their mom and dad. They carry the boat to the living room. They see their mom and dad sitting on the couch. They say, "Look at our boat! We decorated it!" + +Mom and dad smile and clap. They say, "Wow, your boat is beautiful! You did a great job! Can we see it closer?" + +Ben and Lily nod and bring the boat to the couch. They tell mom and dad about the stickers and ribbons. They point to their favorite parts. Mom and dad ask them questions and praise them. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is the doorbell. Someone is at the door. Ben and Lily wonder who it is. They hope it is someone who likes boats. They want to share their boat with them. They run to the door with their boat. They open the door and see... +Lila was a little bear who lived in the forest with her mama and papa. She liked to play with the snow and the pine cones, but she also liked to drink warm honey from a big jar. One day, she saw a human walking in the snow. He had a red coat and a big bag on his back. He looked cold and tired. + +"Hello, human," Lila said. "Do you want to drink some honey with me? It is very yummy and warm." + +The human was surprised to see a talking bear, but he was also friendly and curious. He smiled and said, "Hello, little bear. Thank you for your offer, but I have my own drink in my bag. It is icy and sweet. Do you want to try some?" + +Lila nodded and followed the human to a big rock. He opened his bag and took out a bottle. He gave it to Lila and said, "This is called juice. It is made from fruits and sugar.

It can be for different religions and cultures. Your grandma used to go to a temple when she was young. She was a Jewish woman. That's why she had these clothes and this book. They are part of her tradition and faith." + +Lila and Sam are curious. They ask, "What is Jewish? What is tradition? What is faith?" Mom says, "Those are big words, but they mean something important. Jewish is a group of people who share a history and a belief in God. Tradition is a way of doing things that has been passed down from generation to generation. Faith is a feeling of trust and love for God and for others. Your grandma had all of these things, and she wanted you to know about them too. That's why she left you this box." + +Lila and Sam are amazed. They say, "Wow, grandma was very special. We want to know more about her and her temple." Mom says, "That's wonderful. I can tell you more stories and show you more pictures. Maybe one day, we can even visit a temple together.

Lily was sad that she couldn't take a picture, but her mommy told her that it's okay. They continued walking and saw a big slide. Lily wanted to go on the slide, so her mommy helped her climb up. When they got to the top, Lily said "turn" and her mommy helped her turn around so she could go down the slide. + +After playing on the slide, they went to the ice cream truck and got some ice cream.

One day, they had a quarrel over a toy. They both wanted to play with it, but there was only one. They started to argue and shout at each other. + +After some time, they both felt sad and pale.

Timmy's toes felt squished. + +Timmy tried to take the socks off, but they wouldn't budge. He tugged and pulled, but the socks wouldn't split. Timmy started to worry.

Her mom explained that it wasn't a real flower and it wouldn't last long. Lily didn't understand and kept asking for it. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was the sound of war coming from far away. Lily's mom explained that war is when people fight and it's not good. Lily didn't like the sound of that and stopped asking for the toy. She said, "Mom, I don't want war. I want to be happy and play with you." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. They continued to play together and Lily realized that she didn't need the fake flower to be happy. She was happy just being with her mom. +Once upon a time, there was a big cow named Betsy.

But when you're older, you can use it to be independent and fix things yourself." Timmy didn't really understand what "independent" meant, but he was excited to grow up and use the hammer one day. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily.

How do you think they feel?" + +Anna feels guilty. She knows Mama is right. She says, "I'm sorry, Mama. I'm sorry, poppy. I'm sorry, bee. I was greedy. I wanted the big poppy for myself. I did not think about the others. I will not do it again." + +Mama smiles and kisses Anna's cheek. She says, "I forgive you, Anna. But you have to make it up to the poppy and the bee.

I can do that. I will be kind and generous. I will not demand things that are not mine. I will respect the poppies and the bees. I love you, Mama." + +Mama says, "I love you too, Anna.

She ran after the bulb and climbed over the fence. + +"Tom, you are ignorant. You do not know about bulbs. They can look different and still grow. Maybe this one will be a surprise. I will plant it and water it and see." Lily said, and dug a hole for the bulb. + +Tom shrugged and went back to his digging. He did not care about Lily's bulb. He thought it was a waste of time. + +But Lily was right. The bulb was not rot. It was a special kind of bulb that slept in the winter and woke up in the spring. And when it woke up, it grew into a beautiful tulip with red and yellow petals. Lily was happy and proud. She picked the tulip and showed it to Tom. + +"See, Tom, this is what my bulb grew into. A flower. A pretty flower. Do you like it?" Lily said, smiling. + +Tom looked at the tulip and felt sorry. He had been wrong and mean. He had not listened to Lily. He had been ignorant. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was ignorant. I did not know about your bulb. Your flower is very pretty. Can I have one too?" Tom said, hoping Lily would forgive him. + +Lily nodded and gave Tom a hug. She was glad Tom was sorry. She was not angry anymore. She was generous. + +"Of course, Tom. You can have one too. There are more bulbs in the garden. We can plant them together and see what they grow into. Maybe more flowers. Maybe something else. It will be fun." Lily said, and took Tom's hand. + +They ran back to the garden and looked for more bulbs. They planted them and watered them and waited for them to grow. They were not ignorant anymore. They were curious. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big bag of beans. They want to make a bean fort. + +They find a good spot under a tree. They start to pile up the beans. They make walls and a door. They are happy. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is hungry. He sees the beans. He thinks they are food. He runs to the bean fort. He knocks it down. He eats the beans. + +Tim and Sam are sad. They worked hard on the bean fort. They do not like the dog. They want to fight the dog. They pick up some sticks. They yell at the dog. + +The dog is scared. He does not like the sticks. He does not like the yelling. He runs away. He drops some beans. + +Tim and Sam are glad. They chased away the dog. They have some beans left. They decide to make a bean necklace. They think it is funny. They laugh and hug. They are friends again. +Lily liked to play with her hoop. She could roll it, spin it, and jump through it. She had a lot of fun with her hoop. + +One day, she saw a big hill near her house. She wondered if she could roll her hoop down the hill. She wanted to try, but she was a little scared. What if her hoop got lost or broken? + +She asked her big brother, Ben, to help her. Ben was dependable. He always looked after Lily and helped her when she needed. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will go with you and catch your hoop. You can do it. I encourage you to try." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother." She took her hoop and walked to the top of the hill. She gave her hoop a gentle push and watched it roll down the hill. It went fast and made a whooshing sound. + +Ben ran after the hoop and caught it before it hit a tree. He brought it back to Lily and said, "You did it, Lily. You rolled your hoop down the hill. You are brave and smart. I am proud of you." + +Lily hugged Ben and said, "You are brave and smart too. And you are dependable. You helped me and encouraged me. I am proud of you too." + +They played with the hoop some more and had a lot of fun. They were happy and loved each other. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to play shop. Ben was the shopkeeper and Lily was the customer. They used their toys and books as things to sell and buy. + +"Hello, what do you want to buy?" Ben asked Lily. + +"I want to buy a wallet," Lily said. She had a pink wallet that she got from her grandma. She liked to put stickers and coins in it. + +"OK, I have a wallet for you," Ben said. He took a blue wallet that he found in his dad's drawer. He did not know that it was his dad's real wallet. He thought it was a toy. + +"This is a nice wallet. It is blue and has a zipper. It is very calm. It does not make noise or jump. Do you like it?" Ben said. + +Lily looked at the wallet. She did not like it. She liked her pink wallet better. She shook her head. + +"No, thank you. I do not like it. I like my wallet. It is pink and has stickers. It is very pretty. Can I keep it?" Lily said. + +Ben frowned. He wanted to sell the wallet. He thought it was a good deal. + +"No, you have to buy it. It is only one dollar. It is very cheap. You have to trade your wallet for mine," Ben said. + +Lily did not want to trade. She hugged her wallet. She started to cry. + +"No, no, no! I do not want to trade. I want my wallet. It is mine. You are mean. I do not want to play with you," Lily said. + +Ben and Lily started to argue. They raised their voices. They did not hear their dad coming into the room. + +"What is going on here?" their dad asked. He saw his wallet in Ben's hand and Lily's wallet in Lily's hand. He was surprised and angry. + +"Ben, why do you have my wallet? Lily, why are you crying? What are you doing?" their dad asked. + +Ben and Lily stopped arguing. They looked at their dad. They felt scared and sorry. + +"We are sorry, dad. We were playing shop. Ben wanted to sell me your wallet. I did not want to buy it. I wanted to keep my wallet. We did not know it was your wallet. We thought it was a toy," Lily said. + +Their dad sighed. He took his wallet from Ben and gave Lily's wallet back to Lily. He hugged them both. + +"I am glad you are sorry. But you should not take things that are not yours. And you should not fight over toys. And you should not make so much noise. You should be calm and nice to each other. Do you understand?" their dad said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said sorry again. They hugged their dad. + +"We understand, dad. We are sorry. We love you. Can we still play shop?" Ben and Lily said. + +Their dad smiled. He said yes, but only with their own toys. He gave them some paper money and coins to use. He told them to have fun and be good. He left the room. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They said thank you. They started to play shop again. They were calm and nice to each other. They had fun. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a creek that ran through it. The creek had many rocks, sticks and fish in it. Tom and Sam liked to throw rocks and sticks in the water and watch the fish swim away. + +One day, they found a big log near the creek. It was bigger than both of them. They decided to use it as a bridge to cross the creek. They pushed and pulled the log until it fell over the water. They were very happy and proud of their bridge. + +"Look, we made a bridge!" Tom said. "Now we can go to the other side and explore!" + +"Let's go!" Sam said. They ran across the log and looked around. They saw more rocks, sticks and fish. They also saw a big nest on a tree. It had three eggs in it. + +"Wow, look at the eggs!" Sam said. "They are so pretty and blue!" + +"Maybe they belong to a bird!" Tom said. "Do you think we can touch them?" + +"I don't know," Sam said. "Maybe we should leave them alone. They might break." + +But Tom was curious and brave. He climbed the tree and reached for the nest. He grabbed one of the eggs and held it in his hand. It was warm and smooth. + +"Look, I have an egg!" Tom said. "It's so cool!" + +"Be careful!" Sam said. "Don't drop it!" + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to show Sam the egg. He tried to climb down the tree with one hand. But he slipped and fell. The egg fell with him and broke on the ground. It made a loud crack. + +Tom and Sam heard a loud screech. They looked up and saw a big bird flying towards them. It was angry and fierce. It had sharp claws and a long beak. It was the mother of the eggs. + +She saw her broken egg and her missing baby. She saw Tom and Sam and thought they were the ones who destroyed her nest. She wanted to hurt them and make them pay. + +She swooped down and attacked them. She scratched Tom's face and bit Sam's arm. They screamed and cried. They ran to the log and tried to cross the creek. But the log was not strong enough. It broke in half and fell into the water. Tom and Sam fell with it. They splashed and struggled. The water was deep and fast. They could not swim. They drowned. + +The creek was calm again. The bird flew back to her nest. She had two eggs left. She hoped they would hatch soon. She was sad and lonely. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box of cars, dolls, blocks and books. But their favorite toy was a red train that could make sounds and move on a track. They called it Choo-Choo. + +One day, Choo-Choo stopped working. Tom and Lily tried to push it, shake it, and turn it on and off, but nothing happened. They were very sad and cried. Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. + +"What happened, my loves?" she asked. + +"Choo-Choo is broken!" Tom said. + +"We can't play with it!" Lily said. + +Mom looked at Choo-Choo and saw that it had a loose wire and a missing wheel. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can fix it. But I need some tools and a new wheel. I have to go to the store and buy them. Do you want to come with me?" + +Tom and Lily nodded eagerly. They wanted to help Choo-Choo. They put on their coats and shoes and followed Mom to the car. They started their journey to the store. + +The store was far away and the traffic was bad. They had to wait for many lights and cars. Tom and Lily were bored and impatient. They asked Mom, "Are we there yet?" + +"Not yet, sweeties. It's a tough journey, but we'll get there soon. Look, there's the store!" Mom said, pointing to a sign. + +Tom and Lily cheered and clapped. They got out of the car and ran to the store. They helped Mom find the tools and the wheel. They paid and went back to the car. They were excited to go home and restore Choo-Choo. + +They drove back to their house and ran to their room. Mom took out the tools and the wheel and fixed Choo-Choo. She put the wire back and attached the wheel. She turned Choo-Choo on and it made sounds and moved on the track. + +"Choo-Choo is working!" Tom said. + +"Yay, Mom fixed it!" Lily said. + +They hugged Mom and thanked her. They played with Choo-Choo and had fun. They were happy and proud of their journey and their toy. They learned that sometimes things break, but they can be restored with love and patience. +Sara was very anxious. She wanted to receive a big gift for her birthday. She hoped it was a doll or a bike or a book. She did not like wood. Wood was hard and boring and had splinters. + +On her birthday, Sara woke up early and ran to the living room. She saw a big box with a bow on it. She was very happy. She tore off the paper and opened the box. She looked inside and gasped. + +It was wood. A lot of wood. Nothing else. Just wood. Sara felt very sad and angry. She threw the wood out of the box and started to cry. She did not understand. Why did she receive wood for her birthday? Who gave her this bad gift? + +She heard a laugh behind her. She turned around and saw her brother Tom. He was holding a remote control. He had a big smile on his face. He said, "Surprise! I gave you wood for your birthday. It is a prank. I hid your real gift in the closet. Do you like it?" + +Sara did not like it. She felt very hurt and betrayed. She did not want to see Tom or his remote control or his prank. She ran to her room and slammed the door. She did not want to talk to anyone. She did not want to celebrate her birthday. She only wanted to be alone. She received wood for her birthday and it was the worst day ever. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to ride their bikes on the path. Lily had a pink helmet and Tom had a blue helmet. They always wore their helmets to be safe. + +One day, they saw a big lemon tree near the path. It had many yellow fruits on it. Lily and Tom were curious. They stopped their bikes and got off. + +"Can we eat these fruits?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Let's try one." Tom said. He picked a lemon and broke it in half. He gave one half to Lily and kept the other half for himself. + +They both took a bite of the lemon. They made a funny face. The lemon was very sour. It made their mouths pucker and their eyes water. + +"Yuck! This fruit is bad!" Lily said. + +"Me too! I don't like it!" Tom said. + +They threw the lemon away and got back on their bikes. They decided to never eat those fruits again. They rode away, looking for something sweet to eat. +Lily liked to play with her mom's perfume. She thought it smelled like flowers and made her feel pretty. She would sneak into her mom's room and spray some on her dress and hair. She did not know that her mom did not like that. + +One day, her mom came home early and saw Lily in her room. She was angry and said, "Lily, what are you doing? That is my perfume, not yours. You are wasting it and making a mess. You are not allowed to touch it." + +Lily felt sad and scared. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to smell like you. You always seem so happy and beautiful when you wear perfume. I wanted to be like you." + +Her mom sighed and hugged her. She said, "Lily, I love you, but you have to ask me before you use my things. Perfume is not a toy, it is delicate and expensive. You have your own perfume, remember? The one I gave you for your birthday. It smells like strawberries and vanilla. Why don't you use that instead?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. Can I still smell like you sometimes?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, sweetie. You can use a little bit of my perfume, but only when I say yes. And you have to be careful and not spray too much. Deal?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Deal, mom. I love you." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go and clean up this room." +Lily and Ben were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa for the weekend. They were very excited. They wanted to pack their bags with their favorite things. Lily packed her doll, her book, and her hat. Ben packed his car, his ball, and his cap. + +But Ben had a silly idea. He also packed a big box of cereal. He thought it would be fun to eat cereal all day at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He did not tell Lily or Mommy or Daddy. He hid the box under his clothes in his bag. + +The next day, they got in the car and drove to Grandma and Grandpa's house. They said hello and gave them hugs and kisses. Grandma and Grandpa were happy to see them. They showed them their room and said they could play with their toys. + +But Ben had another silly idea. He took out the box of cereal from his bag and poured it all over the bed. He thought it would be fun to make a cereal mountain. He did not tell Lily or Grandma or Grandpa. He just giggled and jumped on the bed. + +But Ben did not have fun for long. The cereal made a big mess. It got in his hair, his clothes, and his shoes. It also got on the floor, the pillows, and the sheets. It was everywhere. Lily saw what Ben did and was angry. She told Grandma and Grandpa. They were not happy. They told Ben to clean up the mess and say sorry. Ben felt bad. He realized his silly idea was not fun at all. He wished he had not packed the cereal. He learned his lesson. He said sorry to Lily, Grandma, and Grandpa. He helped them clean up the mess. He promised to be good and not pack silly things again. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was black and had sharp teeth. Lily was scared of the dog. She wanted to run away. + +"Tom, let's go!" Lily said. "The dog is bad. He can bite us." + +But Tom was not scared. He was ignorant. He thought the dog was nice. He wanted to pet the dog. + +"No, Lily. The dog is good. He is soft and warm. Look, he is wagging his tail. He wants to play with us." Tom said. He walked to the dog. He tried to hold the dog's head. + +The dog did not like Tom. The dog was angry. He did not want to play. He wanted to be left alone. He growled at Tom. He snapped at Tom's hand. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. "The dog bit me! He bit me hard! It hurts!" + +Lily ran to Tom. She was sorry for Tom. She wanted to help Tom. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. "Let me see your hand. We need to find a grown-up. We need to go to the doctor." + +But Tom was stubborn. He did not want to go. He did not want to admit he was wrong. He wanted to stay with the dog. + +"No, Lily. I'm fine. The dog did not mean it. He was just playing. He is my friend. I want to stay with him." Tom said. He held his hand. He tried to smile. + +Lily was sad. She was worried for Tom. She knew the dog was dangerous. She knew Tom was ignorant. She did not know what to do. + +She looked at the dog. The dog looked at her. The dog bared his teeth. He was ready to bite again. +Anna and Ben liked to play in the garden. They had a big sandbox and many toys. They made castles and bridges and roads with the sand. They had fun. + +One day, it was very hot. The sun was bright and warm. Anna and Ben felt thirsty and sweaty. They wanted something cold to drink. They went inside the house and asked Mom for some juice. + +Mom gave them two cups of juice and two ice pops. They were happy. They said thank you and went back to the garden. They drank their juice and licked their ice pops. They were yummy and cool. + +But the ice pops did not last long. They started to melt. The ice became water and dripped on their hands and faces. Anna and Ben tried to eat them faster, but they could not. The ice pops were gone. They were sad. + +They looked at their sandbox. The sand was dry and hot. They could not make anything with it. They felt bored. They wished they had more ice pops. + +They saw Mom in the kitchen. She was smiling. She had a surprise for them. She came out with a big bowl of ice cream. She said, "Do you want some ice cream? It is cold and sweet. But you have to eat it quickly, or it will melt too." + +Anna and Ben were happy. They said yes and ran to Mom. They took two spoons and dug into the ice cream. They ate it quickly and happily. They did not let it melt. They felt good. + +They thanked Mom and gave her a hug. They said, "We love you, Mom. And we love ice cream." Mom said, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. And I love ice cream too." They smiled and laughed. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find worms and bugs. They also liked to pick flowers and make crowns and necklaces. + +One day, they found a big pumpkin in the corner of the garden. It was orange and round and had a funny face carved on it. Lily and Ben thought it was a toy and wanted to play with it. + +"Look, Ben, a pumpkin!" Lily said. "Let's roll it and make it talk!" + +"Okay, Lily, but be careful. It looks old and dirty," Ben said. + +They tried to roll the pumpkin, but it was too heavy and hard. They pushed and pulled, but it did not move. They decided to make it talk instead. They put their hands inside the pumpkin and moved its mouth. + +"Hello, I am a pumpkin. I am happy to see you," Lily said in a high voice. + +"Hello, I am a pumpkin too. I am sad and lonely," Ben said in a low voice. + +"Why are you sad and lonely?" Lily asked. + +"Because I have been here for a long time. Nobody wants me. I am rotting and smelly," Ben said. + +"What is rotting?" Lily asked. + +"Rotting is when something gets bad and falls apart. It hurts and makes you uncomfortable," Ben said. + +"That sounds awful. How can we help you?" Lily asked. + +"You can't help me. I am too old and rotten. You should go and play with something else," Ben said. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for the pumpkin. They did not want to leave it alone. They decided to give it a hug and a kiss. + +"Thank you for being our friend, pumpkin. We love you," Lily said. + +"Thank you for being nice to me, pumpkin. We will miss you," Ben said. + +They hugged and kissed the pumpkin and said goodbye. They went back to their holes and flowers and played some more. They hoped the pumpkin would feel better soon. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. They loved to swing on the swings and feel the wind in their hair. One day, they saw a big sign that said "Do not go near the pond. There are alligators inside." Lily and Ben were curious and wanted to see the alligators. They thought they were just big lizards that could not hurt them. + +They left the swings and walked to the pond. They saw a big log that looked like a bridge. They decided to cross it and get closer to the water. They did not know that the log was not a log, but an alligator. The alligator was sleeping and did not hear them coming. Lily and Ben stepped on the alligator's back and felt its rough skin. They thought it was a funny log. + +Suddenly, the alligator opened its eyes and saw the twins on its back. It was angry and hungry. It snapped its jaws and tried to bite them. Lily and Ben screamed and ran back to the shore. They were very scared and sorry. They realized they had made a big mistake. + +They ran back to the swings and hugged each other. They saw their mom coming to pick them up. They told her what had happened and said they were sorry. Their mom was glad they were safe and hugged them too. She said, "You should always listen to the signs and stay away from danger. Alligators are not lizards, they are wild animals that can hurt you. You are lucky you escaped. Next time, be more careful and obey the rules." + +Lily and Ben learned their lesson and never went near the pond again. They still liked to swing on the swings and feel the wind in their hair. But they also liked to respect the animals and their homes. They knew that swinging was fun, but alligators were not. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see many animals in the park. They see birds, squirrels, dogs and cats. They like to watch the animals and learn their names. + +One day, they see a new animal in the park. It is big and brown and has a long nose. It makes a loud noise. Lila and Tom are scared. They do not know what it is. + +"Tom, what is that?" Lila asks. + +"I do not know, Lila. It looks wild. Maybe it is a monster." Tom says. + +They hide behind a tree and watch the animal. The animal walks around the park. It eats some grass and some flowers. It drinks some water from a pond. It does not hurt anyone. + +"Tom, maybe it is not a monster. Maybe it is a friend." Lila says. + +"Maybe, Lila. But it is very big and very loud. I do not want to go near it." Tom says. + +Lila thinks for a moment. She has an idea. + +"Tom, I have a plan. Why don't we suggest a name for it? Maybe it will like us if we give it a name." Lila says. + +"A name? What name?" Tom asks. + +Lila looks at the animal. She sees its long nose and its big ears. She remembers a book she read with her mom. + +"How about Dumbo? It is a name from a book. It is a name for an elephant. I think it is an elephant." Lila says. + +"An elephant? In the park? That is funny. But I like Dumbo. It is a nice name." Tom says. + +They come out from behind the tree. They wave at the animal. They say "Hello, Dumbo. We are Lila and Tom. We want to be your friends." + +The animal looks at them. It makes a loud noise. It flaps its ears. It seems happy. + +Lila and Tom smile. They have made a new friend. They have learned a new word. They have had a wild life adventure. +Lily loved horses. She wanted to ride one every day. Her mom took her to the stable where they had many horses. Lily saw a big brown horse with a white spot on its nose. She thought he was the most beautiful horse ever. She asked her mom if she could ride him. + +Her mom said yes, but she had to be gentle with him. His name was Spot and he was very shy. He did not like loud noises or sudden movements. Lily nodded and smiled. She put on a helmet and climbed on Spot's back. Her mom held the reins and walked with them. + +Lily felt happy and excited. She stroked Spot's mane and talked to him softly. She told him he was a good horse and she liked him a lot. Spot seemed to relax and enjoy the ride. He moved slowly and smoothly around the stable. + +But then, something bad happened. A dog barked loudly from behind a fence. Spot got scared and jumped. He ran away from the noise, pulling the reins from Lily's mom's hand. Lily screamed and held on tight. She did not know what to do. + +Spot ran faster and faster, until he reached the end of the stable. There was a big pile of hay there. Spot tried to stop, but he slipped and fell. He rolled over the hay, throwing Lily off his back. Lily landed on the soft hay, but she felt a sharp pain in her arm. She started to cry. + +Spot got up and looked at Lily. He felt sorry for what he did. He walked over to her and nuzzled her face. He tried to say he was sorry. Lily stopped crying and hugged him. She knew he did not mean to hurt her. She told him it was okay. + +Her mom ran over to them and checked Lily's arm. She said it was not broken, but it was bruised. She said they had to go to the doctor. Lily nodded and said goodbye to Spot. She thanked him for the ride and said she still liked him. She hoped he would not be embarrassed by what happened. She said she would come back and see him again. Spot whinnied and licked her cheek. He was glad she was not mad at him. He hoped she would be okay. He watched her leave with her mom. He wished he could go with them. He felt lonely and sad. He missed Lily. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the trees. They saw a big vine hanging from a branch. It looked like a rope. + +"Let's swing on the vine!" said Lila. She grabbed the vine and pulled it down. She wrapped it around her waist and ran to the edge of the garden. She let go and flew in the air. + +"Wow, that looks fun!" said Ben. He wanted to try too. He waited for Lila to come back and then he took the vine. He did the same as Lila and swung on the vine. + +But when he was in the air, he saw something scary. A big dog was barking at him. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It wanted to bite him. Ben was afraid. He screamed and kicked his legs. + +He kicked the vine by mistake. The vine broke and Ben fell to the ground. He hurt his knee and his elbow. He cried and cried. + +Lila ran to him and hugged him. She saw the dog too. It was still barking. She picked up a stick and threw it at the dog. The dog chased the stick and ran away. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" asked Lila. She helped him stand up. + +"No, I'm not okay," said Ben. He was sad and angry. He looked at the vine. It had a bitter taste in his mouth. He spat it out. "The vine is bad. It made me fall. I don't like the vine." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," said Lila. She felt sorry for him. She kissed his knee and his elbow. "The vine is not bad. It was an accident. The dog is bad. It scared you. I don't like the dog." + +Ben nodded. He felt a little better. He hugged Lila. "Thank you, Lila. You are good. You helped me. I like you." + +Lila smiled. She liked Ben too. They were friends. They decided to play something else. They left the vine and the dog behind. They went to the sandbox and made a castle. They had fun. +Tom and Ben are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big lemon tree. They want to try the lemons. + +Tom climbs the tree and picks a lemon. He gives it to Ben. Ben bites the lemon. He makes a funny face. The lemon is sour. He does not like it. He spits it out. + +Tom laughs at Ben. He thinks he is brave. He bites the lemon too. He makes a funny face. The lemon is sour. He does not like it. He spits it out. + +They both laugh at each other. They throw the lemons away. They run to the swings. They have fun. They succeed in having a good time. They are happy brothers. +Tom is a squirrel. He likes to run and jump in the park. He likes to find nuts and hide them in his home. He has many nuts in his home. He is happy. + +One day, he sees a big nut on the ground. He runs to get it. He thinks it is a good nut. He picks it up with his teeth. But the nut is hot! It burns his mouth. He drops the nut and cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he says. "What is this?" + +He looks at the nut. It is not a nut. It is a ball. A red ball. A boy is playing with the ball. He throws the ball in the air. He catches the ball. He sees Tom. + +"Hi, little squirrel!" he says. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom is scared. He does not want to play with the boy. He does not like the ball. He runs away. He runs to his home. He finds a real nut. He eats the nut. He feels better. + +He says to himself, "I will not touch the red ball again. It is not a nut. It is hot. I like nuts. Nuts are good." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. The park has a slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily and Ben run to the sandbox. They dig and build with the sand. They make a castle and a road. + +A boy comes to the sandbox. He has no toys. He sees Lily's doll and Ben's car. He wants to play with them. He does not ask. He grabs the doll and the car. He runs away. + +Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They want their toys back. They tell their moms. Their moms are angry too. They go after the boy. They find him on the slide. He is playing with the doll and the car. + +The moms tell the boy to give back the toys. The boy says no. He says they are his toys. The moms say no.

They share their toys with the boy. They teach him how to play nicely. They make a new friend. They have more fun. +Sara and Tom were twins who lived on a farm with their mom and dad. They liked to play with the animals, especially the chickens, the cows and the pigs. They were compassionate and always gave them food and water and cuddled them. + +One day, Sara and Tom decided to explore the woods behind the farm. They took a basket with some bread and cheese and a bottle of water. They told their mom and dad they would be back soon and ran into the trees. + +They saw many things in the woods: birds, squirrels, flowers, mushrooms. They also saw a big cave with a sign that said "Do not enter". Sara and Tom were curious and wanted to see what was inside. They ignored the sign and went into the cave. + +Inside the cave, it was dark and cold. They used their flashlight to look around. They saw some bats, some spiders and some bones. They also saw a shiny box with a lock. Sara and Tom wanted to open the box and see what was inside. They tried to find the key, but they could not. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a big bear. The bear was angry and hungry. It saw Sara and Tom and wanted to eat them. Sara and Tom were scared and screamed. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. + +But no one heard them. Their mom and dad were busy on the farm. The animals were far away. The bear was faster than them. It caught Sara and Tom and dragged them into the box. It locked the box and ate the key. Sara and Tom disappeared. They never came back. The end. +Lily and Sam like to play by the lake. They have a kayak that is red and yellow. They take turns to paddle the kayak on the water. Sometimes they see fish and ducks and frogs. + +One day, they see something new. It is big and green and has a long neck. It comes out of the water and looks at them. Lily and Sam are scared. They think it is a monster. + +But then they hear a voice. It says, "Hello, I am Nessie. I live in the lake. I am not a monster. I am a friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily and Sam are surprised. They look at Nessie. She has a smile and kind eyes. She does not look mean. She looks good. + +Lily and Sam decide to be brave. They say, "Hello, Nessie. We are Lily and Sam. We like to play with our kayak. Do you want to try it?" + +Nessie nods. She says, "Yes, please. I have never seen a kayak before. It looks fun." + +Lily and Sam paddle the kayak closer to Nessie. They help her get in. Nessie is very big. She fills the whole kayak. Lily and Sam sit on her back. + +They have a great time. They paddle around the lake. They talk and laugh and sing. They make a new friend. + +Nessie is happy. She says, "Thank you, Lily and Sam. You are very good. You are not afraid of me. You are kind to me. You make me feel welcome." + +Lily and Sam are happy too. They say, "Thank you, Nessie. You are very good too. You are not a monster. You are a friend. You make us feel happy." + +They hug Nessie. They say goodbye. They promise to come back and play again. + +They paddle the kayak to the shore. They wave to Nessie. She waves back. She goes under the water. She disappears. + +Lily and Sam smile. They have a secret. They know something that no one else knows. They know that Nessie is real. And she is good. +Lily likes to do puzzles. She has many puzzles with animals, cars, and flowers. She can do them fast and well. She is proud of her success. + +But Tom, her brother, does not like puzzles. He likes to play with balls, trucks, and blocks. He thinks puzzles are boring and easy. He wants to show Lily that he can do them better. + +One day, when Lily is doing a puzzle with a big lion, Tom comes and takes some pieces. He says, "I can do this puzzle faster than you. Watch me!" He tries to put the pieces in the wrong places. He makes a mess. + +Lily is angry and sad. She says, "Stop it, Tom! You are ruining my puzzle. You don't know how to do it. Go play with your toys!" + +Tom does not listen. He keeps taking pieces and forcing them. He breaks some of them. He laughs and says, "See, I did it! I am the best!" + +Lily cries and runs to Mom. Mom sees the broken puzzle and scolds Tom. She says, "Tom, you are very naughty. You should not take Lily's puzzle and break it. You should be nice and share. You should be modest and not boast. You did not do the puzzle. You did a bad thing." + +Tom feels sorry and ashamed. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Mom. I was wrong. I will not do it again. Can I help you fix the puzzle?" + +Lily and Mom forgive Tom. They hug him and say, "It's okay, Tom. We love you. You can help us fix the puzzle. But next time, ask first and be gentle. And don't forget to say please and thank you." + +Tom nods and smiles. He says, "Okay, Lily. Okay, Mom. Thank you for letting me help. I will be more modest and kind. I will learn how to do puzzles with you. Maybe then I will have some success too." +Tom is a cat. He lives with a human. The human is nice. He gives Tom food and water. He plays with Tom. He calls Tom his own cat. + +One day, Tom sees a new cat outside. The new cat is big and black. He has yellow eyes. He looks at Tom. He says, "Who are you?" + +Tom says, "I am Tom. I live here. This is my human." + +The new cat says, "Your human? You are silly. Cats do not have humans. Humans have cats. You are not their own. You are their pet." + +Tom does not like what the new cat says. He says, "No, you are wrong. My human loves me. He is my friend. He is not like other humans. He is ordinary. He does not hurt cats. He helps cats." + +The new cat says, "You are foolish. All humans are the same. They are mean and greedy. They do not care about cats. They only use cats. You should leave your human. You should join me. I am free. I do what I want." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He looks at his human. He sees him smiling. He hears him calling his name. He feels him stroking his fur. He says, "No, thank you. I do not want to leave my human. I am happy here. I do not need to be free. I need to be loved. You can go now. Goodbye." + +The new cat snorts. He says, "Suit yourself. You are a fool. You will regret your choice. You will see." He turns and walks away. + +Tom does not care. He runs to his human. He purrs and rubs his head. He says, "I love you, human. You are my own. You are not like other humans. You are ordinary. You are the best." +Ben and Mia went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and doves. Ben and Mia liked to feed them bread. Mom gave them a bag of bread and a bottle of water. + +"Be careful, don't go too close to the water," Mom said. + +Ben and Mia nodded and broke the bread into small pieces. They threw them to the ducks and doves. The ducks and doves came closer and ate the bread. They made loud noises. Ben and Mia laughed. + +Mia saw a white dove with a blue ring on its leg. She thought it was pretty. She wanted to give it some water. She opened the bottle and poured some water on her hand. She held her hand out to the dove. + +"Here, dove, drink some water," Mia said. + +The dove looked at Mia's hand. It was confused. It did not want water. It wanted bread. It pecked at Mia's hand. Mia screamed. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The dove bit me!" Mia cried. + +Mom heard Mia and ran to her. She took the bottle and the bread from her. She hugged her and checked her hand. + +"Are you okay, Mia? Let me see your hand," Mom said. + +Mia showed Mom her hand. It was red and had a small mark. Mom kissed it and said it was not bad. + +"It's okay, Mia. The dove did not mean to hurt you. It was confused. It thought you had bread in your hand. You should not pour water on the doves. They don't like it. They like bread," Mom explained. + +Mia nodded and said sorry to the dove. The dove flew away. Ben came to Mia and gave her a piece of bread. + +"Here, Mia, you can feed the ducks. They are nice. They don't bite," Ben said. + +Mia smiled and took the bread. She and Ben fed the ducks. They had fun. Mom watched them and smiled too. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Sara has a doll that she admires very much. She likes to dress her up and comb her hair. Ben has a car that he admires very much. He likes to zoom it around and make noises. + +One day, Sara and Ben decide to swap their toys. Sara gives her doll to Ben and Ben gives his car to Sara. They think it will be fun to try something new. They are enthusiastic about their new toys. + +"Look, Sara, I can make the doll dance and sing!" Ben says. He moves the doll's arms and legs and makes funny sounds. + +"Look, Ben, I can make the car go fast and slow!" Sara says. She pushes the car on the floor and turns it left and right. + +They play happily for a while. But then, they hear a loud alarm. It is their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Come on, Sara and Ben, it's time to eat!" Mom says. + +Sara and Ben run to the kitchen. They leave their toys on the floor. They are hungry and excited for lunch. + +But when they come back to their room, they see something terrible. Their dog, Spot, has chewed their toys. The doll's hair is messy and the car's wheels are broken. + +"Oh no, Spot, what have you done?" Sara and Ben cry. + +They are very sad and angry. They love their toys and they don't want them to be ruined. + +They hug their toys and say sorry to each other. They realize that they prefer their own toys and they don't want to swap them again. + +They hope that Mom can fix their toys and make them look nice again. They also hope that Spot will learn not to bite their toys. They still love Spot, but they don't admire his behavior. +Lila was a playful cub who liked to run and jump in the forest. She had a big brother, Leo, who was a hunter. He could catch rabbits and birds with his sharp teeth and claws. Lila wanted to be a hunter too, but Leo said she was too small and silly. + +One day, Lila saw a shiny red ball hanging from a tree. She thought it was a toy and ran towards it. Leo saw her and shouted, "Lila, stop! That is not a toy, that is a trap! The bad men put it there to catch us!" + +But Lila did not listen. She was too curious and excited. She jumped and grabbed the ball with her mouth. But as soon as she did, a loud noise made her drop it. A net fell on her and trapped her inside. She was scared and cried, "Leo, help me!" + +Leo heard her and ran to save her. He saw the bad men coming with guns and sticks. He was brave and angry. He growled and attacked them. He bit and scratched them until they ran away. Then he tore the net with his claws and freed Lila. He hugged her and said, "Lila, you are safe now. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The forest is full of dangers. You are not a hunter yet, you are still a cub. You have to grow bigger and stronger and smarter before you can hunt." + +Lila nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Leo. I was foolish and greedy. I wanted to play with the ball, but it was a bad thing. Thank you for saving me. You are the best hunter and the best brother. I love you." + +Leo smiled and said, "I love you too, Lila. Come on, let's go home. Mom and Dad are waiting for us. And maybe they have some food for us. I'm hungry, are you?" + +Lila nodded and said, "Yes, I'm hungry too. Let's go home and eat. And then we can play some more. But only with safe things, okay?" + +Leo agreed and said, "Okay, only with safe things. And maybe one day, when you grow up, you can be a hunter too. But for now, you are my playful cub, and I am your hunter brother. And we are happy." + +They walked together, holding each other's tails, and went home. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they see a big red car in the park. It is shiny and fast. They want to play with it. + +"Who has this car?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a gift for someone," Ben says. + +"Can we play with it?" Anna says. + +Ben looks around. He does not see anyone. He says, "Yes, let's play with it. But we have to be quick." + +They run to the car and get in. They push the buttons and make noises. They pretend to drive. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a loud voice. It is a man. He is chubby and angry. He is the parent of the car. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my car? That is mine! You stole it!" he shouts. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They jump out of the car and run away. They say, "Sorry, sorry, sorry!" + +They run back to their parents. They tell them what happened. Their parents are not happy. They say, "That was wrong. You should not steal. You should ask before you touch. You should say sorry to the man." + +Anna and Ben feel bad. They nod. They say, "We are sorry. We will not steal again. We will be good." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the zoo. They have a special key. The key can unlock the gates of the animals. They want to see the hippos. + +They go to the hippo pond. They see a big hippo and a baby hippo. The hippos are in the water. They look happy. Lily and Ben want to touch them. They use the key to unlock the gate. They go inside. + +The big hippo sees them. He is angry. He does not want them to touch his baby. He roars and splashes. He chases them. Lily and Ben are scared. They run back to the gate. They try to lock it. + +But the key is gone. They dropped it when they ran. They look for it. They cannot find it. The big hippo is coming closer. He is very fast. Lily and Ben are very sorry. They should not have unlocked the gate. + +They see a zookeeper. He is patient. He sees the key on the ground. He picks it up. He locks the gate. He saves Lily and Ben. He tells them to be careful. He tells them to respect the animals. He tells them to say sorry to the hippos. Lily and Ben say sorry. They hug the zookeeper. They learn their lesson. They do not unlock the gates anymore. They watch the hippos from far away. They are still friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and talk. One day, they want to go to the zoo. They ask their moms. + +"Mom, can we go to the zoo?" Lily says. + +"Mom, can we go to the zoo?" Ben says. + +Their moms look at each other. They shake their heads. + +"Sorry, kids. We don't have enough money to go to the zoo. The zoo is very far and very big. We need a lot of money to go there. Maybe another day," Lily's mom says. + +"Sorry, kids. We don't have enough money to go to the zoo. The zoo is very fun and very nice. We need a lot of money to go there. Maybe another day," Ben's mom says. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They want to see the animals. They want to hear the lions roar and the monkeys chatter. They want to feed the giraffes and the elephants. They want to go to the zoo. + +They go to their room. They have an idea. They get their toys and books. They make a sign. The sign says: "Zoo for sale. Only one dollar." + +They put their sign and their toys and books outside. They wait for people to come. They hope to sell their zoo and get money. They hope to be rich. They hope to go to the zoo. +Tom and Sue are young friends who like to play outside. One day, they find a big ball in the park. They kick it, throw it, and roll it. They have a lot of fun with the ball. + +But then, Tom starts to sneeze. He sneezes once, twice, three times. He feels his nose run. He wipes it with his hand. He says, "I don't feel good. I think I have a cold." + +Sue looks at him and says, "Oh no, Tom. You should go home and rest. Maybe your mom can give you some soup and a hug. I hope you get better soon." + +Tom nods and says, "Thank you, Sue. You are a good friend. I will see you tomorrow. Bye bye." He picks up the ball and walks to his house. + +Sue waves at him and says, "Bye bye, Tom. Get well soon." She stays in the park and looks for another toy to play with. She sees a bike near a tree. She runs to it and tries to ride it. But the bike has a leak. The air comes out of the tire. The bike goes slow and wobbly. Sue falls off the bike and scrapes her knee. She cries and says, "Ow, ow, ow. This bike is bad. It has a leak. It hurts me." + +A lady hears her cry and comes to help her. She says, "Are you okay, dear? What happened?" She sees the bike and the leak. She says, "Oh, I see. This bike is broken. It needs to be fixed. Come on, let me clean your knee and put a band-aid on it. You will feel better soon." + +Sue smiles and says, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice. Can I play with you?" The lady nods and says, "Sure, why not? Let's go to the swings and have some fun." They walk to the swings and push each other. They laugh and enjoy the sun. They forget about the ball, the sneeze, and the leak. They are happy. +Anna liked to sing in the shower. She sang loud and happy songs that made her feel good. She did not care if anyone heard her. She thought she had a beautiful voice. + +One day, she was singing in the shower when her big brother Tom came into the bathroom. He wanted to brush his teeth. He heard Anna singing and he laughed. He said, "Anna, you sound like a frog! You are not a good singer. You are a bad singer. You should stop singing in the shower." + +Anna felt sad and angry. She did not like Tom's words. She thought he was mean and rude. She said, "Tom, you are wrong. I am a good singer. I am an original singer. I sing my own songs. You are just jealous. You should go away and leave me alone." + +Tom did not go away. He stayed and made fun of Anna. He said, "Original? More like awful. You sing like a cat in pain. You make my ears hurt. You should be quiet and let me brush my teeth." + +Anna felt more sad and angry. She also felt embarrassed. She wished Tom would stop laughing at her. She wished he would go away. She wished she could sing in peace. She turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around her. She ran out of the bathroom and into her room. She slammed the door and cried. She did not want to sing anymore. She did not feel good. She felt bad. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play by the river. One day, they found a big raft made of wood and rope. They wanted to ride on it and see where the water would take them. + +They climbed on the raft and pushed it into the river. The raft moved slowly at first, but then it gained speed as the water became faster and louder. Tim and Kim were happy and excited. They saw many things on the river, like fish, birds, and trees. + +But then, they heard a roar. It was a fierce bear who lived by the river. The bear saw the raft and wanted to catch it. He ran along the river bank and tried to reach the raft with his big paws. Tim and Kim were scared and screamed. + +They looked for a way to escape. They saw a branch hanging over the river. They grabbed the branch and swung off the raft. The raft went past the bear and crashed into some rocks. The bear was angry and roared again. + +Tim and Kim were safe on the other side of the river. They hugged each other and thanked the branch. They walked back to their home and told their mom and dad what happened. They learned not to play on the raft again. +Lily wanted to learn how to whistle. She asked her big brother Sam to teach her. Sam said he would show her, but he was nervous. He did not know how to whistle very well. + +Sam put his lips together and blew. He made a soft sound, like a bird. Lily tried to copy him, but she only made a puff of air. She felt sad. She wanted to whistle like Sam. + +Sam saw that Lily was sad. He wanted to help her. He thought of a trick. He said, "Lily, I have a secret. Do you want to know it?" Lily nodded. She liked secrets. + +Sam whispered in her ear, "The secret is to say the word 'Q'. But you have to say it very quietly and slowly. Like this: 'Q...Q...Q...' Can you try it?" Lily nodded again. She was curious. + +Lily put her lips together and said, "Q...Q...Q..." She was surprised. She heard a sound, like a whistle. She smiled. She did it! She whistled! + +Sam smiled too. He was happy. He hugged Lily and said, "You did it, Lily! You learned how to whistle! You are very smart and brave!" + +Lily hugged Sam back and said, "Thank you, Sam! You are a good teacher and a good brother! I love you!" + +They whistled together, like two birds. They were happy. +Lily did not like showers. She liked baths. Baths were fun. She could play with her toys and make bubbles. Showers were dull. They were loud and wet and made her cold. She always said no when Mom asked her to take a shower. + +One day, Mom had a surprise for Lily. She showed her a new shower head. It was pink and had a flower on it. Mom said it could make different colors of water. Lily was curious. She wanted to see the colors. Mom asked her to try the shower. Lily was still scared, but she decided to accept. + +Mom turned on the water and Lily saw red, then blue, then green, then yellow. It was like a rainbow. Lily smiled and laughed. She reached out her hand and touched the water. It was warm and soft. She liked it. She asked Mom to join her. Mom was happy and hugged her. They had fun in the shower. Lily learned that showers could be fun too. She said thank you to Mom for the surprise. Mom said she was proud of Lily for being brave. They dried off and got dressed. Lily said she wanted to take a shower again tomorrow. Mom smiled and said okay. +Sam and Mia were playing in the sand. They had a bucket and a spade each. They were making a big castle with towers and walls. + +"Look at my castle!" Sam said. "It is bigger and better than yours!" + +"No, it is not!" Mia said. "Mine has more windows and doors!" + +They started to argue. They did not want to share their sand or their spade. + +A man was walking by. He was bald and had a big beard. He saw the children fighting. He stopped and smiled. + +"Hello, little ones," he said. "What are you doing?" + +"We are making castles," Sam said. + +"But he says his is better than mine!" Mia said. + +The man laughed. "Why don't you make one castle together? Then it will be the best castle ever!" + +Sam and Mia looked at each other. They did not like the idea. They liked their own castles. + +"No, thank you," Sam said. "We like our castles the way they are." + +The man shrugged. "Okay, then. How about a challenge? I dare you to dig a hole as deep as you can with your spade. The one who digs the deepest hole wins!" + +Sam and Mia liked challenges. They nodded. + +"Okay, we will do it!" they said. + +They put their buckets aside and grabbed their spade. They started to dig in the sand. They dug and dug and dug. They wanted to win the dare. + +The man watched them. He smiled again. He had a plan. He waited until they were busy digging. Then he took their buckets and filled them with water. He poured the water into their holes. + +Sam and Mia heard a splash. They looked up. They saw their holes filled with water. They saw their buckets empty. They saw the man holding their spade. + +"Hey!" they shouted. "That's not fair! Give us back our spade!" + +The man laughed. "Sorry, kids. I was just having some fun. Here, take your spade. And your buckets. And your sand. And your castles. They are all yours." + +He gave them back their things. He walked away. + +Sam and Mia were angry. They did not like the man. He was mean. He ruined their dare. + +They looked at their castles. They were still there. They were still big and beautiful. + +They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They did not want to fight anymore. + +They smiled. + +"Hey, Mia," Sam said. "Do you want to help me finish my castle?" + +"Sure, Sam," Mia said. "And do you want to help me finish mine?" + +They nodded. They hugged. They shared their sand and their spade. They made one big castle together. It was the best castle ever. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pile of leaves and wanted to play in it. They ran to the pile and jumped in, laughing and throwing leaves in the air. + +"Look, mom, we are leaf monsters!" Tom said, putting a leaf on his head. + +"You are very silly leaf monsters!" mom said, smiling. + +But then, they smelled something bad. It was a rotten apple under the leaves. It was brown and soft and had worms in it. Tom and Lily made a face and said, "Ew, gross!" + +They got out of the pile and ran away from the rotten apple. They did not want to touch it or smell it. + +"Who put that rotten apple there?" Lily asked, feeling grumpy. + +"I don't know, maybe a squirrel or a bird," mom said, "But we should not play with rotten things. They can make us sick." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They did not like rotten things. They liked fresh and clean things. + +"Can we go to the swings, mom?" Tom asked, "They are fresh and clean and fun." + +"Sure, let's go to the swings," mom said, "And maybe we can find some nice apples on the way." + +Tom and Lily smiled.

One day, they saw a big bush with many blueberries. They wanted to eat them. + +"Let's have a game," said Ben. "Who can pick the most blueberries wins." + +"OK," said Lila. She was gentle and careful. She picked the blueberries one by one. She put them in her basket. + +Ben was not gentle. He was greedy and fast. He pulled the blueberries with his hands. He put them in his mouth. + +Lila and Ben picked and picked. Soon, the bush was empty. + +"Look," said Ben. "I win. I ate more blueberries than you." + +He smiled and showed his teeth. They were purple and sticky. + +Lila looked at her basket. She had many blueberries. She was sad. + +She wanted to share with Ben. But he ate them all. + +Then, Ben felt sick. His tummy hurt. He was too full. He wanted to throw up. + +He ran to the trash can. He threw up. He felt bad. + +Lila felt sorry for him. She went to him. She gave him some water. She said, "Next time, don't be greedy. Be gentle and share." + +Ben nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Lila. You are a good friend. Can we still play?" + +Lila smiled. She said, "Yes, we can. But not today. Today, you need to rest." + +She helped him go home. She said goodbye. + +She walked to the park. She saw a new bush with many raspberries. She picked some and ate them.

She decided to display it on the shelf too. She put it next to the book and smiled. + +But the banana was not a toy. It was food. And food does not like to be on the shelf. It likes to be in the fridge or in the mouth. The banana started to get brown and mushy. It smelled bad and made flies come. + +Sara did not notice the banana. She was too lazy to look at her shelf. She only wanted to watch TV and eat cookies. She forgot about her toys and the banana. + +One day, her mom came to clean her room. She saw the shelf and the banana. She was not happy. She said, "Sara, what is this? Why did you put a banana on the shelf? It is rotten and stinky. It is not a toy. It is a waste of food. You are very lazy and careless. You need to learn to take care of your things." + +Sara felt ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I thought it was a funny toy. I wanted to display it. But I forgot about it. I was lazy. I will not do it again. Please help me clean the shelf and throw away the banana." + +Mom nodded. She said, "Okay, Sara. I will help you. But next time, please ask me before you take something from the table. And please pay attention to your shelf and your toys. They need your love and care. They are not just for display. They are for fun and learning." + +Sara agreed. She said, "Yes, mom. I will do that. Thank you for helping me. I love you and I love my toys. And I love bananas too. But only when they are fresh and yummy." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make zoom sounds when they move the cars on the floor. + +One day, Lily and Ben decide to work on their cars. They want to make them faster and prettier.

The hat is the rocket's nose. They put the box on the floor. They get inside the box. They are ready to blast off. + +They count down from ten. "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero!" They shout. They pretend the box is flying. They make zoom and whoosh sounds. They look out the window. They see the moon.

One day, they saw a big cross on the grass. It was red and shiny. Lily and Ben were very excited. They wanted to touch the cross. + +"Wow, look at that cross!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Let's go and see it!" Ben said. "Maybe it is a treasure!" + +They ran to the cross. But when they got there, they saw a sign. The sign said: "Do not touch. This cross is for a special show. It is not a toy." + +Lily and Ben did not read the sign. They did not know what it meant. They only saw the cross.

Now Mommy will punish us," said Lily. + +Max felt sad and scared. He didn't want to get punished. Lily saw how her brother felt and decided to help him.

"Mommy, let's pretend the mushroom is a little house for fairies!" she said. + +Her mommy smiled and said, "That's a great idea, Lily!

Lily was so happy that her idea worked, and she couldn't wait to come back to the forest and play pretend again. +Once upon a time, there was a big boat with a good captain. The captain loved to sail with his crew and they always had fun. One day, they saw a storm coming and the captain knew they had to raise the sails to go faster and escape the storm. But the storm was too strong and the boat started to shake. Suddenly, a big wave hit the boat and the sails broke.

He was so happy and grateful to his friends for helping him. From that day on, Teddy made sure to be more careful while playing in the woods. +Once upon a time, there was a bunny named Benny. Benny loved to eat carrots. One day, Benny went to the garden to find some carrots to eat. He found a big, orange carrot and took a bite. But the carrot was too big for Benny to eat all at once. So, he decided to fold the carrot in half and take another bite. + +As Benny was eating, he heard a grumpy voice. It was the farmer who owned the garden. The farmer was grumpy because he didn't want Benny to eat his carrots. Benny felt sad and scared, so he hopped away quickly. + +Benny decided to go to his bunny friend's house to tell her what happened. His friend listened to him and gave him a hug. She told Benny that he should try to find a different garden to get carrots from. Benny felt better and thanked his friend for her help.

He wanted to make it tidy, so he started picking up trash and putting it in the bin. But then, Timmy saw the aeroplane take off without him.

She gave him a treat and said, "See, Max? You're okay now. Just like the spider, the squirrel won't hurt you too much." Lily smiled and petted Max. She knew that sometimes things can bite, but it's important to be strong and stay fine. +Once upon a time, there was an old lady who lived in a big house. She had a cat named Mittens who liked to play with a ball of yarn. One day, the old lady got sick and needed to take a pill to feel better. Mittens watched as she took the pill and then went to sleep. + +Later that day, the old lady woke up and saw that Mittens had made a mess with the yarn. She told Mittens to bow his head and say sorry. Mittens meowed and then licked the old lady's hand. She smiled and petted him, happy that he was a good cat.

When she sat down to eat, her mom gave her some vegetables and said, "Eat your vegetables so you can grow big and strong." + +Lily didn't like vegetables, but she ate them anyway.

She knew that being healthy was important and she wanted to be strong like her mom. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She was very hungry and wanted something to eat.

She said, "Mommy, can I draw in my notebook while we discuss what to eat?" Her mommy said, "Yes, of course you can." + +Lily drew a picture of a big sandwich while they discussed what to eat.

There was a cabin in the forest where they could sleep. Lily and Tom liked the cabin. It was cozy and had a fireplace and a lot of books. + +One night, Lily and Tom heard a strange noise outside the cabin. It sounded like a howl. They were scared and ran to their mom and dad's room. + +"Mom, dad, what is that noise?" Lily asked. + +"It's a wolf, honey. Don't worry, it won't come near the cabin. It's just looking for food in the forest," dad said. + +"Why does it howl like that?" Tom questioned. + +"It's how wolves talk to each other. They howl to say hello, or to warn, or to find their mates. They are very smart animals, but they are also shy and like to be quiet," mom said. + +"Can we see the wolf?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe in the morning, if we are lucky. But we have to be very quiet and careful, and not scare the wolf away. Wolves are wild and don't like people very much," dad said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They were curious about the wolf, but they also respected it. They snuggled with their mom and dad and fell asleep. The cabin was quiet, except for the occasional howl of the wolf in the forest. +Ben and Lily were walking on the path with their mom. They liked the path because it had many flowers and birds and bugs. But today the path was boring. There was nothing new to see or hear or smell. + +"Mom, can we go back home?" Ben asked. He was tired and hungry. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to go to the store and buy some milk and eggs," Mom said. She smiled at Ben and Lily. "But I have a surprise for you when we get there." + +"What is it?" Lily asked. She liked surprises. + +"You'll see," Mom said. She winked at them. + +Ben and Lily wondered what the surprise was. They hoped it was something fun and yummy. They walked faster on the path. + +When they got to the store, Mom said, "Wait here for a minute. I'll be right back." She went inside the store. + +Ben and Lily looked around. They saw a big truck with a picture of a clown on it. The truck had a sign that said, "Ice cream for sale." + +"Look, Ben! Ice cream!" Lily said. She pointed at the truck. + +"Wow! Ice cream!" Ben said. He loved ice cream. + +They ran to the truck. The clown smiled at them and said, "Hello, kids. Do you want some ice cream?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily said. + +The clown gave them each a cone with a scoop of ice cream. Ben chose chocolate and Lily chose strawberry. They licked their ice cream and smiled. + +"Thank you, clown!" Ben and Lily said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy your ice cream," the clown said. + +Mom came out of the store.

They have fun. They are friends. The end. +Lily and Tom were playing with a big ball in the park. They liked to roll the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they rolled the ball very fast and far, and sometimes they rolled it very slow and near. + +One day, a big dog came to the park. The dog saw the ball and wanted to play too. The dog ran to the ball and bit it with his teeth. The ball popped and made a loud noise. Lily and Tom were scared and sad. The dog had broken their ball. + +"Hey, dog, that was our ball!" Tom shouted. "You are a bad dog! You made a waste of our ball!" + +The dog barked and growled. He did not like Tom's words. He thought Tom was noisy and mean. He jumped on Tom and knocked him down. Tom cried and screamed. Lily ran to help Tom, but the dog was too big and strong. + +A man came to the park and saw what was happening. He was the dog's owner. He called the dog and put a leash on him. He said sorry to Lily and Tom, but he did not give them a new ball. He took the dog and left the park. + +Lily and Tom were hurt and angry. They had no ball and no fun. They went home and told their mom what happened. Their mom hugged them and gave them a cookie, but they were still not happy. They wished they had their ball back. They wished the dog had never come to the park. They wished they had a better day. +Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play all day. They had many toys and games, but they never wanted to stop and take a nap. Their mom always told them that naps were good for them, but they did not listen. + +One day, mom said, "It is time for your nap, Tom and Sue. You have played enough. Go to your beds and sleep for a while." + +Tom and Sue said, "No, mom, we do not want to nap. We want to play more. Please, mom, let us play." + +Mom said, "No, you have to nap. You are restless and cranky. You need to rest your eyes and your brains. Go to your beds now, or you will be in trouble." + +Tom and Sue did not like mom's words. They were angry and stubborn. They said, "Fine, mom, we will go to our beds, but we will not nap. We will quit playing, but we will not sleep." + +They went to their beds, but they did not close their eyes. They whispered and giggled and made noises. They threw their pillows and blankets around. They did not care if mom heard them or not. + +Mom heard them and was very upset. She went to their room and saw the mess they made. She said, "Tom and Sue, what are you doing? You are not napping at all. You are making a lot of noise and trouble. You are very naughty and rude. You have to clean up your room and say sorry to me. And you have to nap for an extra hour. No more playing for you today." + +Tom and Sue were very sad and sorry. They wished they had listened to mom and napped when she told them to. They realized that naps were not so bad after all. They cleaned up their room and said sorry to mom. They lay down in their beds and tried to nap, but it was too late. They were not sleepy anymore. They lay awake and bored for a long time. They missed their toys and games. They had a bad day. +Sara 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 soon they got tired and wanted to rest. + +"Let's go to my room and lie on the bed," Sara said. "We can read a book or watch a show." + +"OK," Ben agreed. "But can we take some toys with us? I like to cuddle with them." + +Sara nodded and picked up her favorite doll. Ben grabbed his toy truck and followed her. They went upstairs and opened the door to Sara's room. + +But when they saw the room, they gasped. It was very messy and dirty. There were clothes, books, papers, and toys everywhere. And there was a lot of dust on the floor, the furniture, and the bed. + +"Who made this mess?" Sara asked. "It was not like this when we left." + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it was the wind. Or a monster." + +Sara frowned. She did not like the wind or monsters. She did not like dust either. It made her sneeze and itch. She wanted to rest in a clean and cozy room. + +"We have to clean this up," she said. "We can't rest here. It's too yucky." + +Ben sighed. He did not like to clean. He liked to play. He wanted to rest with his toy truck. He thought cleaning was not useful. + +"Do we have to?" he asked. "Can't we just go to your mom's room or the couch?" + +"No, we can't," Sara said. "This is our room. We have to take care of it. And cleaning is useful. It makes things nice and neat. And it makes us happy." + +Ben did not look happy. He looked sad and bored. He did not want to argue with Sara. He liked her. She was his friend. But he did not like cleaning. He thought it was hard and boring. + +He looked at his toy truck. He wished he could play with it. He wished he could rest with it. He wished there was no dust. He wished there was no mess. He wished there was no cleaning. He wished there was only fun. +Lily liked to sit with her uncle Ben. He was very popular. He had many friends who came to visit him. They brought him gifts and told him jokes. Lily laughed with them and felt happy. + +One day, uncle Ben had a big party. He invited all his friends and family. Lily wanted to sit with him, but there were too many people. She could not find a place to sit. She felt sad and lonely. + +She saw a boy who was sitting alone in a corner. He looked bored and shy. Lily walked to him and said hello. He smiled and said his name was Sam. He was uncle Ben's nephew. He did not know many people at the party. + +Lily and Sam became friends. They talked and played together. They shared their toys and snacks. They had fun and forgot about the crowd. Uncle Ben saw them and came to sit with them. He hugged them and said he was proud of them. He said they were very popular with him.

The dog knocks down the house with his paws. The dog barks and wags his tail. + +Tom and Sam are sad and angry. They worked hard to build the house. They say to the dog, "Go away! These are our bricks! You are a bad dog!" + +The owner of the dog comes. He sees the mess. He says to Tom and Sam, "I'm sorry. My dog is naughty. He likes to play with everything. He did not mean to ruin your house. Can you forgive him?" + +Tom and Sam look at the dog. The dog looks sorry. He licks his lips and whines. Tom and Sam feel sorry for the dog. They say to the owner, "It's okay. We forgive him. But can you teach him to be obedient? He should not touch our bricks." + +The owner nods. He says, "Yes, I will. Thank you for being kind. Do you want to play with my dog? He can fetch and roll over and sit. He is fun to play with." + +Tom and Sam think for a moment. They like to play with animals. They say, "Okay. We will play with your dog. But first, can we rebuild our house?" + +The owner smiles. He says, "Of course. I will help you. And I will watch my dog. He will not bother you again." + +Tom and Sam smile too. They rebuild their house with bricks. They make it bigger and better. Then, they play with the dog. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They tell him to roll over and he does. They tell him to sit and he sits. He is obedient. + +They have fun. They are friends. They share their bricks and their ball. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They make noises like vroom and beep as they race them on the grass. Lily has a red car and Ben has a blue car. + +"Look, my car is faster than yours!" Lily says to Ben. + +"No, mine is faster!" Ben says back. + +They zoom their cars near the fence, where a big dog is barking. The dog sees the cars and thinks they are fun. He jumps over the fence and runs towards them. + +"Watch out, the dog is coming!" Lily shouts. + +She picks up her car and runs away. Ben tries to do the same, but the dog is too quick. He bites Ben's car and shakes it in his mouth. + +"Hey, let go of my car!" Ben cries. + +He pulls on his car, but the dog is stronger. He tears off a wheel and spits it out. Ben sees some fuel leaking from his car. + +"Bad dog, you broke my car!" Ben says. + +He is sad and angry. Lily comes back with a stick. She is brave and intelligent. She throws the stick far away. + +"Fetch, dog, fetch!" she says. + +The dog drops Ben's car and chases the stick. He likes the stick more than the car. Lily and Ben run inside the house with their cars. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"My car is hurt, but I am okay," Ben says. + +He hugs his car and thanks Lily for helping him. + +"You are a good friend, Lily," he says. + +Lily smiles and hugs him back. + +"You are a good friend, too, Ben," she says. + +They decide to play with something else. They do not like the dog. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him a brush to hold in his hand. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily said. "You are very lovely. Do you like your brush?" + +The snowman did not say anything. He just smiled with his coal mouth. + +Ben said, "Let's go inside and have some hot chocolate. It is very cold outside." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Bye, Mr. Snowman. We will come back soon." + +They ran inside the house and drank their hot chocolate. They felt warm and happy. + +But outside, the sun was shining brighter and brighter. The snowman felt hot and wet. He started to melt. + +"Oh no!" he thought. "I don't want to melt. I like my hat, my scarf, my carrot nose and my brush. I like Lily and Ben. They are very nice." + +He wished he could go inside with them and have some hot chocolate too. But he could not move. He could only watch as his hat, his scarf, his carrot nose and his brush fell to the ground. + +He felt very sad. He said, "Goodbye, Lily. Goodbye, Ben. Thank you for making me. You are very lovely." +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. There is a big slide in the park. Tom and Lily want to slide down the slide. + +Tom goes first. He climbs up the stairs and sits on the slide. He says, "Whee!" and slides down. He is happy. He runs to the end of the slide and waits for Lily. + +Lily goes next. She climbs up the stairs and sits on the slide. She says, "Whee!" and slides down. But she slides too fast. She bumps into Tom at the end of the slide. They both fall down. + +Tom and Lily are hurt. They cry. They have boo-boos on their knees and elbows. They hug each other and say, "Sorry!" + +A nice lady sees them. She has a microphone. She works in the park. She says, "Are you OK?" She comes to help them. She gives them band-aids and stickers. She says, "You are brave. You can slide again, but be careful." + +Tom and Lily say, "Thank you!" They smile. They are not hurt anymore. They go back to the slide. They slide down slowly and safely. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers, trees, animals and people. She painted what she saw and what she dreamed. + +One morning, she woke up very early. She looked out the window and saw a beautiful sunrise. The sky was pink and orange and yellow. She wanted to paint it. She ran to her room and got her paints and paper. She went back to the window and started to paint. + +She was very happy. She mixed the colors and made the shapes. She painted the sun and the clouds and the birds. She smiled and hummed a song. + +She wanted to show her painting to her mom and dad. She finished her painting and ran to their room. She knocked on the door and opened it. She saw them sleeping in their bed. She said, "Mom, dad, look at my painting!" + +But they did not wake up. They did not hear her. They did not see her. They did not smell her. They did not smell her painting. They did not smell the disgusting smell of the paint. They did not smell the paint that Lily had used. The paint that was not for painting. The paint that was for the walls. The paint that was toxic. The paint that had made Lily sick. The paint that had made Lily die. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. They enjoy running, jumping and sliding. They also like to pretend they have power. They can make things happen with their words. + +One day, they see a big pile of leaves. They run to the leaves and jump in. The leaves are soft and crunchy. They laugh and throw leaves in the air. They say, "We have the power of leaves! We can make a leaf storm!" + +A lady walks by with a dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red collar. The lady says, "Hello, children. What are you doing?" + +Anna and Ben say, "We are playing with leaves. We have the power of leaves!" + +The lady smiles and says, "That sounds like fun. Can I join you?" + +Anna and Ben say, "Yes, you can. And your dog, too. He is beautiful." + +The lady, the dog, Anna and Ben play with the leaves. They make a leaf storm. They enjoy the power of leaves. They are happy. +Jill and Tom were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do. They saw a big, wide ball in the corner. It was red and shiny and had a smiley face on it. + +"Let's bounce the ball!" Jill said. "Maybe it will make us happy." + +"OK!" Tom said. "But we have to be careful. Mom said not to break anything." + +They took the ball to the living room and started to bounce it. It made a loud noise and jumped high in the air. Jill and Tom laughed and chased the ball. They bounced it on the floor, on the couch, on the table. They had so much fun that they forgot Mom's rule. + +Then, the ball bounced too hard and hit the lamp. The lamp fell down and broke. It made a louder noise and a big mess. Jill and Tom stopped and looked at each other. They were scared. + +"Uh-oh," Jill said. "We are in trouble." + +"Maybe we can hide the ball and the lamp," Tom said. "Maybe Mom won't notice." + +But it was too late. Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the ball and the lamp and the broken pieces. She was not happy. + +"Jill and Tom, what did you do?" Mom said. "You broke the lamp. You did not listen to me. You have to be more careful." + +Jill and Tom felt sorry. They knew they did something bad. They said sorry to Mom and helped her clean up the mess. They learned their lesson. They decided not to bounce the ball in the house again. They hoped for a sunny day to play outside. +Tom and Amy are brother and sister. They like to play in their chamber. Their chamber has many toys and books. Tom and Amy are very organized. They put their toys and books in different boxes. + +One day, Tom and Amy are playing with their blocks. Tom builds a big tower. Amy builds a small house. Tom is proud of his tower. He says to Amy, "Look at my tower. It is so tall and strong. Your house is so small and weak. I can knock it down with one finger." + +Amy is sad and angry. She does not like Tom's tease. She says to Tom, "Stop teasing me. Your tower is not so great. It is just a pile of blocks. My house is cozy and pretty. I can make it bigger and stronger." + +Tom and Amy start to argue. They raise their voices. They do not listen to each other. They forget to be nice and kind. + +Their mother hears them from the kitchen. She comes to their chamber. She sees their blocks and their faces. She is not happy. She says to Tom and Amy, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? Why are you teasing each other? You should share and help each other. You should be friends, not enemies." + +Tom and Amy feel sorry. They say to their mother, "We are sorry, mom. We were silly and mean. We will not tease each other anymore. We will play nicely and happily." + +Their mother smiles. She says to Tom and Amy, "That is good. I am glad you are sorry. Now, why don't you work together and build something wonderful with your blocks? You can use your imagination and creativity. You can have fun and learn." + +Tom and Amy nod. They hug their mother. They say to each other, "Let's build something together. Let's be friends." They start to pick up their blocks and make a new plan. They are happy and peaceful. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play on the shore. They liked to dig in the sand, look for shells and splash in the water. One day, they saw a big boat with a flag and many people on it. They wondered what the boat was doing there. + +"Let's go and see!" Ben said. He ran towards the boat, but Lily stopped him. + +"Wait, Ben! We don't know who they are. They might be bad people. They might hurt us or take us away. We should stay here and tell Mom and Dad." Lily said. + +"But I want to see the boat. It looks fun and mysterious. Maybe they have toys and candy. Maybe they want to be our friends." Ben said. + +Lily shook her head. She did not understand why Ben was so curious and careless. She tried to pull him back, but he was too strong. He broke free and ran to the boat. Lily followed him, afraid and angry. + +When they reached the boat, they saw a man with a big hat and a beard. He smiled and waved at them. + +"Hello, little ones! Do you want to come aboard and see my boat? I have many things to show you. I am a pirate, and this is my pirate ship." He said. + +Ben's eyes lit up. He liked pirates. He had a pirate hat and a pirate sword at home. He wanted to see the pirate ship. He nodded and climbed up the ladder. + +Lily felt a chill in her heart. She did not like pirates. She had heard stories about pirates. They were mean and greedy. They stole and fought and lied. She did not want to see the pirate ship. She shook her head and stayed on the shore. + +"Come on, Lily! Don't be scared. It's fun!" Ben called from the boat. + +"No, Ben! Come back! It's not fun. It's dangerous. He is a bad man. He will trick you and hurt you. Please, come back!" Lily cried from the shore. + +But Ben did not listen. He did not understand why Lily was so worried and boring. He followed the pirate man into the boat. He saw many things that made him happy. He saw gold and jewels and maps and guns. He saw a parrot and a monkey and a hook. He saw a big flag with a skull and bones. + +The pirate man gave him a candy and a toy. He told him stories about his adventures and battles. He asked him if he wanted to be a pirate too. Ben said yes. He liked the pirate man. He thought he was his friend. + +Lily waited on the shore. She waited and waited and waited. She hoped that Ben would come back soon. She hoped that he was safe and happy. She hoped that he would not forget her. + +But Ben did not come back. He did not come back that day, or the next day, or the day after that. He did not come back ever. He stayed on the pirate ship. He became a pirate. He forgot about Lily. He forgot about his home and his family and his friends. He forgot about everything that was good and true and kind. + +Lily was sad and lonely. She missed Ben. She wished that he had listened to her. She wished that he had understood that the pirate man was not his friend. She wished that he had understood that the boat was not fun and mysterious, but scary and dangerous. She wished that he had understood that the shore was the best place to be. +Tom was a sailor. He liked to sail on the big blue water with his friends. They had a boat with a white sail and a red flag. Sometimes they saw fish and birds and other boats. + +One night, Tom was very tired. He wanted to sleep in his bed on the boat. He said good night to his friends and went to his room. He lay down and closed his eyes. + +But then he heard a loud noise. It was thunder. It made the boat shake and the water splash. Tom was fearful. He did not like thunder. He wanted it to stop. He hid under his blanket and wished for his mom. + +He heard a knock on his door. It was his friend Sam. Sam was a sailor too. He was not fearful of thunder. He came to help Tom. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Sam asked. "Don't be fearful. Thunder is just noise. It can't hurt you. I'm here with you. Do you want to talk or sing or read a book?" + +Tom peeked out from his blanket. He saw Sam's kind face and smiled. He felt better. He said yes to Sam. They talked and sang and read a book together. They laughed and hugged. They forgot about the thunder. + +Soon, Tom was sleepy again. He thanked Sam for being his friend. Sam said good night and went back to his room. Tom closed his eyes and slept. He dreamed of sailing on the big blue water with his friends. He was not fearful anymore. He was happy. +Sara and Tom were in the car with Mom and Dad. They were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Sara and Tom liked Grandma and Grandpa. They had a big house with a garden and a swing. + +On the way, they saw many big signs on the road. They had pictures and words on them. Mom said they were called billboards. Sara and Tom tried to read the words, but they were too hard. They asked Mom what the billboards said. + +Mom said, "Some of them are for things you can buy, like toys or food. Some of them are for places you can go, like the zoo or the park. And some of them are for people who want to be your friends, like the mayor or the teacher." + +Sara and Tom looked at the billboards. They saw one with a picture of a man smiling. He had a big hat and a badge. The words said, "Vote for Bob. He is the best sheriff in town." + +Tom said, "Mom, who is Bob? Is he a real sheriff?" + +Mom said, "No, he is not a real sheriff. He is a fake sheriff. He wants to be the sheriff, but he is not. He is just pretending. He wants people to like him and vote for him." + +Sara said, "Why does he want to be the sheriff? Does he like to catch bad guys?" + +Mom said, "I don't know, Sara. Maybe he does, or maybe he doesn't. Maybe he just wants to have a big hat and a badge. But he is not a good sheriff. He is a fake sheriff. He tells lies and makes promises he can't keep." + +Sara and Tom did not like Bob. They did not like fake people. They liked real people, like Grandma and Grandpa. They were happy to visit them. They hoped they would see a real sheriff on the way. They wanted to see his big hat and badge. They wanted to say hello and thank him for catching bad guys. They liked real sheriffs. They were not fake. They were brave and honest. +Tom and Lily wanted to play outside, but the weather was bad. It was cold and rainy and windy. They put on their coats and boots and hats, but their mom said no. + +"Sorry, kids, you can't go out today. The weather is too bad. You might get sick or hurt. Why don't you play inside instead?" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They did not like to play inside. They wanted to run and jump and splash in the puddles. They did not want to play with their toys or read their books or draw their pictures. They wanted to have fun outside. + +"Mom, please, let us go out. We will be careful. We will not get sick or hurt. We will have fun outside." Tom said. + +"No, Tom, I said no. The weather is too bad. You have to listen to me. I am your mom. I know what is best for you." Mom said. + +Lily did not like how mom was so bossy. She did not like how mom said no to everything. She did not like how mom did not let them have fun. She had an idea. + +"Mom, we have a surprise for you. We made something for you. Come and see." Lily said. + +Mom was curious. She wanted to see what Tom and Lily made for her. She followed them to their room. But when she got there, she saw that they had not made anything for her. They had made a mess. They had thrown their toys and books and pictures all over the floor. They had made a big pile of them in the middle of the room. They had climbed on top of the pile and were laughing. + +"Surprise, mom! We made a mountain. We are playing outside. We are having fun." Lily said. + +Mom was not happy. She was shocked and angry. She did not like how Tom and Lily lied to her. She did not like how they made a mess. She did not like how they disobeyed her. + +"Tom and Lily, what have you done? This is not a surprise. This is a disaster. You have to clean up this mess right now. You have to apologize to me. You have to accept that you can't go out today. You have to play inside." Mom said. + +Tom and Lily were not happy. They did not like how mom was so angry. They did not like how mom made them clean up. They did not like how mom did not let them play outside. They wanted to have fun. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not mean to make you angry. We did not mean to make a mess. We just wanted to play outside. We just wanted to have fun." Tom and Lily said. + +Mom sighed. She knew that Tom and Lily were sorry. She knew that they just wanted to play outside. She knew that they just wanted to have fun. But she also knew that the weather was too bad. She also knew that they had to listen to her. She also knew that they had to play inside. + +"I know, kids, I know. I am sorry too. I know that you want to play outside. I know that you want to have fun. But you have to understand that the weather is too bad. You have to understand that you have to listen to me. You have to understand that you have to play inside." Mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood that the weather was too bad. They understood that they had to listen to mom. They understood that they had to play inside. They accepted that they could not go out today. They decided to make the best of it. They decided to play with their toys and read their books and draw their pictures. They decided to have fun inside. + +Mom smiled. She was glad that Tom and Lily accepted that they could not go out today. She was glad that they decided to make the best of it. She was glad that they decided to have fun inside. She hugged them and kissed them and said she loved them. She said she was proud of them. She said she had a surprise for them too. + +"Kids, I have a surprise for you too. I made something for you. Come and see." Mom said. + +Tom and Lily were curious. They wanted to see what mom made for them. They followed her to the kitchen. But when they got there, they saw that she had not made anything for them. She had made something for them and her. She had made cookies and milk. She had made a treat for them and her. She had made a way to have fun inside. + +"Surprise, kids! I made cookies and milk. I made a treat for us. I made a way to have fun inside. Let's enjoy them together." Mom said. + +Tom and Lily were happy. They liked how mom made cookies and +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play and watch movies together. One day, they find a blue bird in the park. The bird is hurt and hungry. Tom and Sue want to help the bird. + +"Let's feed the bird some bread," Tom says. He breaks a piece of bread and gives it to the bird. The bird eats the bread and chirps. "He likes it," Sue says. She smiles and pets the bird gently. + +"Can we take the bird home?" Tom asks. He wants to keep the bird as a pet. "No, we can't," Sue says. "The bird belongs to the sky. He needs to fly and be free. We can watch a movie about birds instead." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He loves the bird, but he also loves Sue. He knows Sue is right. He nods and says, "OK, let's watch a movie about birds. Maybe we can learn more about them." + +They take the bird to a big tree and say goodbye. The bird thanks them and flies away. Tom and Sue go home and watch a movie about birds. They learn how birds sing, build nests, and migrate. They enjoy the movie and each other's company. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes we have to let go of what we love for their own good. We can still appreciate them and learn from them. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big tree with many apples. They wanted to pick some apples and eat them. + +"Let's climb the tree and get some apples," Tim said. + +"No, I'm scared. The tree is too high and the apples are too far," Sam said. + +"Don't be scared. I'll help you. We can be rich with apples," Tim said. + +They climbed the tree and reached for the apples. But then, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a bright flash. It was lightning. The sky was dark and angry. + +"Help! Help! We have to get down!" Sam cried. + +"Quick! Follow me!" Tim said. + +They tried to climb down, but the tree was slippery and wet. They slipped and fell. They landed on the soft grass. They were not hurt, but they were scared and wet. + +They ran to their house and hugged their mom. She gave them a warm blanket and a hug. She said, "You are safe now. Don't worry. The storm will pass soon." + +They looked at each other and smiled. They said, "We are not rich with apples, but we are rich with love." +Lila and Ben are at the beach with Mom and Dad. They like to play in the sand and splash in the water. They see many things at the beach: big boats, small fish, shiny shells, and tall palms. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Lila says, pointing to a palm. "It has a funny hat. And it can wave!" + +Ben looks at the palm. He sees that it has a bunch of green leaves on top, like a hat. And he sees that the leaves move in the wind, like they are waving. + +"Wow, Lila, you are right!" Ben says. "The palm can wave. Hello, palm!" + +Lila and Ben wave back to the palm. They think the palm is friendly and funny. They laugh and clap their hands. + +Mom and Dad watch Lila and Ben from their chairs. They smile and wave too. They are happy to see their kids having fun. + +But soon, Lila and Ben start to feel sleepy. They have played a lot and they are tired. They yawn and rub their eyes. + +"Come on, kids, it's time to go home," Mom says. "You need a nap." + +Lila and Ben nod. They are too sleepy to argue. They say goodbye to the palm and the beach. They hug Mom and Dad and get in the car. + +As they drive away, they close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of the palm and its funny hat. And they hope to come back to the beach soon. +Anna and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Anna found a shiny bracelet in her mom's drawer. It was black and had many beads. Anna put it on her wrist and felt very pretty. + +"Wow, Anna, your bracelet is so nice!" Lily said when she saw it. "Can I try it on?" + +Anna shook her head. "No, this is mine. Mom gave it to me. You can't have it." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted the bracelet too. She thought Anna was not a good friend. She decided to take the bracelet from Anna when she was not looking. + +The next day, they played at Lily's house. Anna brought her bracelet and showed it to Lily again. Lily pretended to be happy for Anna, but she was not. She waited for Anna to go to the bathroom. Then she quickly grabbed the bracelet and hid it under her pillow. + +When Anna came back, she saw that her bracelet was gone. She looked everywhere, but she could not find it. She asked Lily if she had seen it. + +"No, I don't know where it is," Lily lied. "Maybe you lost it outside." + +Anna felt very sad and scared. She loved her bracelet. She did not want to lose it. She started to cry. + +"Please, Lily, tell me the truth. Did you take my bracelet?" Anna begged. + +Lily felt guilty, but she did not want to give back the bracelet. She liked it too much. She shook her head again. + +"No, I did not. Stop crying. You are being silly," Lily said. + +Anna did not believe Lily. She felt that Lily was lying. She felt very angry. She did not want to be friends with Lily anymore. She ran out of Lily's house and went home. + +Anna told her mom what happened. Her mom was very upset. She called Lily's mom and told her what Lily did. Lily's mom was very angry too. She went to Lily's room and found the bracelet under her pillow. She scolded Lily and made her give back the bracelet to Anna. + +Lily felt very ashamed and sorry. She realized that she had done a bad thing. She had hurt Anna and lost her trust. She wanted to say sorry to Anna, but Anna did not want to talk to her. Anna did not forgive Lily. She did not want to be friends with Lily anymore. + +Lily lost her best friend because of a black bracelet. She wished she had never seen it. She wished she had never taken it. She wished she had been a better friend. But it was too late. The end. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and talk to each other. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They wonder what is inside. + +They open the box and see a lot of shiny things. They are handles. They are for doors and drawers. Sara and Ben think they are pretty. They want to play with them. + +They take some handles out of the box and pretend they are keys and rings and bracelets. They have fun making noises and stories with the handles. They are very friendly and share the handles. + +But then, they hear a loud voice. It is Mom. She is angry. She says the handles are not toys. They are for the new kitchen. She says Sara and Ben have to put them back in the box and say sorry. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They do not want Mom to be mad. They quickly put the handles back in the box and say sorry to Mom. They hope she will be friendly again. They hug each other and say they are still friends. They decide to play with something else. +Lily and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They see many dishes on the table. They want to make a pretend meal for their toys. + +"What should we cook?" Lily asks. + +Ben looks at the dishes. He sees a big dish and a small dish. He suggests, "Let's make a cake in the big dish and a pie in the small dish." + +Lily nods. She likes cake and pie. She gets some flour and sugar from the cupboard. She pours them into the big dish. She stirs them with a spoon. + +Ben gets some apples and raisins from the fridge. He puts them into the small dish. He covers them with a cloth. + +They put the dishes in the oven. They wait for a few minutes. They pretend to smell the cake and the pie. + +"They are ready!" Lily says. She opens the oven. She takes out the dishes. She puts them on the table. + +They call their toys to come and eat. They have a teddy bear, a doll, a car and a ball. + +They cut the cake and the pie. They give a piece to each toy. + +The teddy bear and the doll like the cake. They say, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. The cake is yummy." + +The car and the ball like the pie. They say, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. The pie is tasty." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They have made a good meal for their toys. They think they are fit chefs. They smile and hug each other. +Anna and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. But their favorite thing was to cross the bridge. The bridge was old and wooden. It made funny noises when they walked on it. It was mysterious. + +One day, they saw a sign on the bridge. It said "Do not cross". Anna and Ben were curious. They wanted to know what was on the other side of the bridge. They decided to ignore the sign and cross the bridge anyway. + +They walked slowly and carefully on the bridge. They heard creaks and cracks. They felt the bridge shake. They were scared, but they kept going. They reached the middle of the bridge. They looked down and saw something shiny in the water. They leaned over the railing to see it better. + +Suddenly, the bridge broke. Anna and Ben screamed. They fell into the water. They splashed and gasped. They were wet and cold. They were also surprised. The shiny thing in the water was a big fish. The fish was friendly. It swam up to them and smiled. It said "Hello, I'm Fred. Do you want to play with me?" + +Anna and Ben were shocked. They did not know that fish could talk. They did not know that fish could smile. They did not know that fish could have names. They did not know what to say. They looked at each other and then at the fish. They wondered what would happen next. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they have a task. They want to make a big pile of leaves. They run around and pick up leaves. They put them in a big spot. + +"Look, our pile is so big!" Tom says. + +"Yes, it is!" Mia says. "Let's jump in it!" + +They run to the pile and jump in it. They laugh and have fun. The leaves scatter everywhere. They make a mess. + +"Uh-oh," Tom says. "We have to clean up." + +"Yes, we do," Mia says. "But it is cold. I want to go home." + +"Me too," Tom says. "Let's go home and have some hot cocoa." + +They leave the park and go home. They say goodbye to each other. They are happy. They did a good task. They had a good play. +Lily liked to play with her mom's makeup. She liked to put red on her lips, blue on her eyes, and pink on her cheeks. She thought she looked very pretty. But her mom did not like it when Lily played with her makeup. She said it was not for little girls, and it was messy and expensive. + +One day, Lily saw her mom's makeup bag on the table. She wanted to play with it again. She was very persistent. She waited until her mom was busy in the kitchen, and then she moved to the table. She opened the bag and took out the makeup. She started to put it on her face. + +But her mom saw her. She came to the table and said, "Lily, what are you doing? You know you are not supposed to play with my makeup. Give it back to me right now." + +Lily did not want to give it back. She said, "No, mom, I want to play. I want to be pretty like you." + +Her mom said, "Lily, you are already pretty. You don't need makeup. Makeup is for grown-ups, not for little girls. It can hurt your skin and your eyes. And it makes a big mess. Look, you have makeup all over the table and your clothes. How are we going to clean this up?" + +Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to make a mess. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to have fun. Can I help you clean up?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But first, let's go to the bathroom and wash your face. You don't need makeup to be beautiful, Lily. You are beautiful just the way you are." + +Lily smiled. She hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. You are beautiful too." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my sweet girl." +Lily liked to play with her uncle Tom. He was funny and kind and always had new games for her. One day, he came to visit her and brought a big box. Lily was excited and opened it. Inside, there were many dull books with no pictures or colors. + +"What are these, uncle Tom?" Lily asked. + +"These are books, Lily. They are very good for you. They can teach you many things and make you smart," uncle Tom said. + +"But they are so dull, uncle Tom. I don't want to read them. I want to play with you," Lily said. + +"Come on, Lily. Don't be silly. Reading is fun and important. You should try it. Here, let me read you a story," uncle Tom said. + +He picked up a book and started to read. Lily listened for a while, but she was bored. She wanted to do something else. She looked around and saw her uncle's hat. It was big and funny. She had an idea. She took the hat and put it on her head. Then she ran to the living room, where her mom and dad were. + +"Look at me, look at me!" Lily shouted. "I'm uncle Tom!" + +She pretended to read from the book and made funny noises. Her mom and dad laughed. They thought Lily was cute and funny. But uncle Tom did not laugh. He was angry and sad. He followed Lily to the living room and saw her with his hat. + +"Lily, what are you doing? That's my hat. Give it back to me. You are being rude and mean. You are embarrassing me in front of your mom and dad," uncle Tom said. + +He took his hat from Lily and put it back on his head. He looked very upset. Lily was surprised and scared. She did not mean to hurt her uncle. She just wanted to make him laugh. She did not know he would be angry and sad. + +"I'm sorry, uncle Tom. I didn't know you liked your hat so much. I was just playing. I didn't want to embarrass you. Please don't be mad at me. I love you," Lily said. + +She hugged her uncle and gave him a kiss. Uncle Tom smiled and hugged her back. He was not mad at her anymore. He loved her too. + +"It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry too. I should have been more patient and understanding. I know you don't like dull books.

He said it was very dangerous and a train could come any time.

She is not angry, but she is serious. + +"I know, boys. But you have to be careful with your toys. A pistol is not a toy. It can hurt someone. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nod. They understand. They don't want to hurt anyone. + +"Good. Now, wash your hands and sit at the table. I have ordered pizza for lunch. Your favorite!" + +Tom and Sam cheer and run to the bathroom. They love pizza.

"Maybe we can find treasure there!" + +"Okay!" Lily said, climbing into the box. "But we have to be careful. The water is deep and the ducks are naughty. They might bite our boat." + +They pushed the box into the water and used their hands to paddle. The boat moved slowly and wobbled a lot. The ducks saw them and swam towards them. They quacked loudly and pecked at the box. + +"Go away, naughty ducks!" Tom shouted, waving his stick. "This is our boat, not yours!" + +But the ducks did not listen. They kept pecking and quacking. One of them grabbed a grape from the box and ate it. Lily and Tom were very angry and scared. They wanted to go back to the shore, but the boat was leaking and sinking. + +"Help! Help!" they cried, holding on to the box. "Our boat is broken and the ducks are mean!" + +Some people on the shore heard them and came to help. They threw a rope to them and pulled them out of the water. They were wet and cold and sad. They hugged each other and thanked the people. + +"Are you okay?" one of the people asked. "Why did you sail on the pond with a cardboard box?" + +"We wanted to have fun and find treasure," Lily said, sniffing. "But the ducks were naughty and ate our grapes and broke our boat." + +The people smiled and gave them some towels and cookies. They told them that sailing on the pond was not safe and that they should play somewhere else. They also told them that the ducks were not naughty, but hungry and curious. + +Lily and Tom nodded and said sorry. They learned their lesson and promised to be more careful. They also gave some cookies to the ducks and made friends with them.

They used red blocks for the fire trucks and the stop signs. + +"Look, Anna, I made a bridge!" Ben said, pointing to a long row of blocks that crossed the water. "Now we can go to the other side of the city!" + +"That's cool, Ben!" Anna said. "I made a park! See, there are swings and slides and a sandbox!" She showed him a corner of the city where she had arranged some blocks and toys. + +They played with their city for a long time, pretending to be drivers, firefighters, and explorers. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise from the other room. It was their baby brother, Sam. He had woken up from his nap and was crying. Their mom went to check on him. + +"Uh-oh," Anna said. "Sam is awake. He might come here and mess up our city!" + +"Let's hide it!" Ben said. "We can put it under the table and cover it with a blanket. Then he won't see it!" + +They quickly moved their city under the table and put a big blanket over it. They hoped that Sam would not find it. + +They went to the other room to see their mom and Sam. Sam was happy to see them. He smiled and reached out his arms. + +"Hi, Anna! Hi, Ben!" he said. "Can I play with you?" + +"Sure, Sam," Anna said. "We have some toys for you. Look, here is a ball, and here is a teddy bear, and here is a book." + +They gave Sam some toys and played with him on the couch.

They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +But then, a mean boy came by. He had a bucket of water in his hand. He said, "Your snowman is boring.

The snow melted and made a lot of steam and smoke. + +The people in the house were surprised and scared. They heard a loud hissing and saw a cloud of smoke. They ran out of the house and saw Sara and Ben on the roof. They said, "What are you doing? You are naughty! You are making a mess!" They called the police. + +Sara and Ben were scared too. They said, "We are sorry! We were only trying to get back at the mean boy. He poured water on our snowman and made him ugly."
